victor alba, us capitol. the head of facebook and mentor is pushed to apologize for hom, done to some children online. the . i'm going to expand as you're welcome to the program. the e o has agreed on a new 50000000000 euro support package for ukraine. at the latest summit in brussels, the auto pin council president charles michelle said the dealer would insure code long term predictable funding for ukraine. the agreement comes after weeks of opposition from hunger as prime minister victor all bon ukraine has faced increasing uncertainty over age funding with eating fighting in the e u. m. the us holding up support from on now joined by the end of those brussels, a bureau chief, alexandra, off on knob and alexandra. good afternoon to you. i the

e. you overcome opposition from victor? all. bon well i think that it became clear this morning already that victor all bon, was under a lot of pressure to give an end to agreed before the start of the official meeting of o u leaders. he already had a sit down with the german chancellor with the tell them prime minister with the french president and the representative of the you institutions. and from what we are hearing from our sources. they made it very clear to victor or bunch that he is standing all alone in the e u blocking this essential age for ukraine. and that's all the, all the 26 member states of the you want to move ahead and sign off on this important financial support for ukraine. and what our

sources are telling us is that this was so clear that victor or button is standing alone, being increasingly isolated with his located with his position. at that off to this 1st morning meeting, it was clear that he will say yes. and when then off to that, all of the leaders and set together and started discussing i, they voted old with the yes. so now we have this at this, you need see, add to the agreement. and then next 4 years, ukraine is getting 50000000000 euros. financial aid from the european union. so everybody has said yes, but what is undeniable is that there was a tassel in the lead up to this. yeah. so now i wonder what message this does. so within the european union, over this additional, you create an aide savings through ukraine and the rest of the one of the while the

stand up was sending of course, a very, very well actually signal and, and a very bad message to old the world that the european union was struggling to speak with one voice, and that is why there was such a huge pressure on victor all button to give in. because it was clear that that was not the message that the you leaders wanted to send the one to. on the contrary, to show us russia a that there are still unite to at that put in, cannot wait them out. and they wanted to send a strong message to key if that there are still committed to supporting them as long as it's takes that they understand that. so you create needs the money to continue fighting against russian troops. and of course this and now a successful signal of you need see the fact that they were in the and able to succeed here is also a very important signal to the us. we know that congress there is not able to

agree on father support to financial aid for ukraine. so for the europeans, it wasn't this crucial moment. very important to say, hey, we are able to agree on that. at the same time, alexandro, that is also a large, almost protest happening right outside the summit. what more can you tell us about that? well, we saw this morning, hundreds of tech directors in the city center and from of the european parliament we saw. and we farmers throwing ex ad the parliament, we so the destruction of the mute monument that is actually meant to show a steel worker who was standing up for the same values that the farmers were taking to the streets this morning. and they wants to be heard, they want the european union to change their policies to make sure that the subsidy

is that they need will be still in place. that and via mental issues are and regulations are not going to prevent them from doing their job. so you just see how, how difficult the situation is right now with regards to ukraine and also what's going on here in europe, in this very crucial year in which you appear in election. so we'll be taking place this summer. we'll leave it there for the time being douglas brussels ability. if i looked under a phone number and reporting from brussel spend so much any time. some news not from the ukraine ball by a russia and ukraine have completed a present swap that sold the release of $200.00 captives on each side. the deal was broken by the united adam edwards. it comes just a week after the russian plane was shot down close to the ukraine border, reportedly cutting home dozens of ukraine in prison as a full home

at last the i'm so making alone a way to to call as well. yeah. yes. yes. oh, daddy, it's me, you know, i've been exchange, i'm the new crane. i'm a live, you're everything okay, with me the quote relief also on the other side of the board to the i'm very glad i want to dislike. i don't i was i've never had such feelings. this is our land and home life. this is very good. this is the 5th teeth reason exchange between russia and ukraine. since last. oh, it's full scale invasion. well, it follows the deadly crush for russian military transport plane last week that according to moscow, was carrying ukrainian present as a full for him. now the plans exchange,

russia blames ukraine for the attack. something keith neither consumes no denies. some fee if the incident could jeopardize the prison exchanges. but both russia and ukraine seemed determined to continue. will it stop the exchanges? we weren't stopped the exchanges. we have to get our guys back and i'm slightly bit nothing, but when your proposal, we haven't forgotten about anyone. we are looking for each. so our name, i am russia and ukraine every 10 thousands of prisoners since the start of the war being the slightest exchange gifts hoped the money to wait and to come home while that is happening, tensions appear to be deepening, but being ukrainian president followed the merits and landscape, and his commander of the armed forces. we did a boat, says the landscape once as often a general ability is allowed me to step down. but the general has refused. his departure would be the biggest trick up of ukraine's ministry leadership since the

russian invasion, similar to the president and his general and the show of unit d, last summer, inspecting newly delivered anti missile systems, presenting a united front. but as the war dragged on and the much anticipated counter offensive against the russian invaders failed to turn the tide tensions emerged at the end of the year. so laskey said that the army had presented a plan to him to mobilize up to $500000.00 more troops. that is politically risky, even though soldiers at the front line have been on duty for months or even years without a break. opinions in ukraine are mixed. we should activate any of our capabilities and resources. my husband has been out for since february 28 and my son in laws up more. i see very large number of

examples of people sacrificing themselves to go to war. following the call of the heart of mobilization is something that brings neither health nor joy to any one. only wor, lansky has cast himself as the president, fighting and unpopular move but general's allusion. a has refused to take the full for the unpopular mobilization proposals. and the ukranian parliament has refused to debate measures to increase troop levels. living much needed fresh troops missing on the front lines and elections that were originally set to be held. this spring has been suspended under martial law. but ukrainian media outlet. the key of independence says that in private opinion, polls lose me would run a close 2nd to the landscape in a presidential match up. all of which adds to the atmosphere of intrigue in the

halls of power in keys are from ukraine to germany now, where airports account of the stuff out on strike across the country today. forcing airlines to cancel or delay over $1000.00 flights in and out of 11 of the countries . major airports, including berlin and frankfort, the the union called for the members to down and tools for 24 hours onto the tonight. after that demand for better pay and benefits because i'm $25000.00 to go to the stall, stalled. around $200000.00 passengers are expected to be effected by the strike of the and the devil is christy flaps on the standing by for us and germany's busiest airport in frankfort christy. good afternoon. i'd imagine germany's busiest airport isn't as busy as it should be. how is this strike effecting at 5? all right, well this morning on,

i'm standing in one of the major departure halls here and this morning on the sign you can see behind me we saw just dozens and dozens of canceled flights. but as you can see now, they've just cleared the board completely to give you some idea of how things are going here at frank. for today, most of the departures have been canceled. love times by which is germans by being carrier, had encouraged people to stay home today. once they already announced the strikes, then you will not get on your flight because the security personnel are not there to check passengers to check luggage. people can knock it on their flights. still, many people did show up anyways and there queued up in mind hoping to be re booked for tomorrow. so you said most of boxes have been can so does these uh, cancellations also affect the arrivals. so uh, as of the last information, the i had arrivals here at the frankfurt um are still expected. um also if you are

doing a transfer flight, there is an expectation that you could make a transfer flight, though. uh the airports were encouraging people to expect delays there. um, but we've also heard that at some other airports here in germany. um uh, even arrival flights. uh what you're asking about had been cancelled. and this is because the airlines actually didn't see a purpose and letting the plane arrive if it can't be refilled with passengers. so it was making more sense to them to just cancel the flight completely. so some arrivals were indeed effective for christy. why exactly all security workers tracking of the right? well, they're basically asking for higher uh, hourly pay and for a better bonus system. uh, now they were given an offer which they have rejected saying that it just doesn't reflect the reality of the cost of living that many of these workers are dealing with. we saw a major group of sugars going through the hall area today, bagging on

a drum. one of them told me, i said i am on government assistance. they're saying that they're super personal to the airline industry and they're demanding better pay to reflect what they see as being but difficult in criminal work that they contribute. and negotiations are set to continue on this next week, or leave a back or less than a franklin apple. thanks so much. thanks not to some of the stories from around the world. humans hope the rebels say they have attacked. the us ministry share an imagined presence in the red sea, but us navy said the cruise beside the tank on his worship was intercepted without damage. but who these have been attacking shipping in the area for months in solidarity with palestinians in gaza. and us actually of state, anthony thinking, but of a ton to them at least this weekend. but his 5th was it since the october 7th tablets defacts on east around the vitals, saves the trip and focus on post for efforts to rebuild and govern. garza as well

as boosting humanitarian aid to the territory to the ceo. as if america stop, social media companies have come up against tough questioning by american lawmakers in washington, dc. members of the centers to be sure to commit to accuse social media giants like take talk x these goals and that's and meta off not doing enough to protect your run and teens on their platforms. for wrap ministry, if not, took it back, who controls? facebook and instagram gave apology and announced new child protection measures. no family. she also told lawmakers that social media is cult on balance, not home full to young people. it's mental health that drew a heated exchange of being sick of bag under public incentive to josh holly. let's have a look. a said you mischaracterized 37 percent of teenage girls between 13 and 15

were exposed to unwanted nudity in a week on instagram if you knew about it. who did you buy or senator? this is why we're building all or did you firewalls center that's i don't think that that's who did you fire? i'm not gonna answer that. if this was a fire, anybody. right? you didn't take insignificant because it's appropriate to talk about it, but it's not a part of the decisions that and parents so you didn't take any action. you didn't take any action or didn't fire anybody. you haven't complicated. i think let me ask you this, let me ask you this. there's families of victims here today. have you apologize to the victims? i would you like to do so now? well, they're here. you're on national television. would you like now to apologize to the victims who have been harm, but you're not showing the pictures. would you like to apologize for what you've done to these good people? first.

okay . alright, mich modem, this from dr. cnn s j. he's a research on the dc you anti bullying center in ireland, and he's working to develop a bet until controls technology to assist with the detection of cyber building self palm and grooming behavior is online. the task you welcome to the program was send it to josh holly. right to accuse mike took a bag off ignoring the problem. i mean, thank you very much for your patience. first disagreed new lives i cover and just company i'm facebook are now known as mentor. paste from the us congress was based on the concerns over privacy breaches this friday, most information, and this information and the impact of the club hormone man's mountain social division. i mean, when we just look at this justification,

the justification for these critics is richard index, potentially possible media companies that actually know it's, you know, significant things and it's like facebook should hold twice, address it all state of privacy to talk about a ration and ethical considerations, so 1st we need to argue not tailoring. these areas give spices to accountability while supporters may see such i think that's over the call to size or an over simplification, all complex issues. we all know that these companies are failing to, in succession, to protect the children, and they are actually making money on them. and there is a recent study by i would university, which was just revealing that social media platforms generate the $11000000000.00 in revenue from advertising. diving to that to you, hunter, age of 17. and that's why it does increase in internet access and communication moves. investigators haven't exponential increase the data. and the sensor also

said that uh, 47 percent of finance girls between $13.15 would expose to unwanted unity on instagram within a week is instagram the worst platform for these kinds of harassment or others are just as bad? i mean, the research findings indicating that 37 percent of the teenage girls and how it took me to zillow highlighted significant concerns about the tech support your, your users to you. never paid content also to the funds have this that this fix does not give us any idea about the, you know, the ground could be the worst at $51.00 to just identify it. because that 1st we need to look at the user behaviors. piece hands will view that content will duration child as and we need to compare to platforms and the risks. and i mean, if people like to determine the instagram is the worst platform for just kind of an investment, which would be the complex. and it depends on several factors, as i said, the types of instructions, the platform for this, of the types users,

but i guess call type of ration infections. other platforms might have, or language rates or 2 other issues influenced by us, page user demographics, content types, and what to ration policies. so that's why i can say that the platforms that are less regulated or that prior to ties on anything, you might also see higher than the rest of the appropriate content, exploiter. and while the report is to do, i just significant concern regarding the safety opportunity that users almost across and assessing gets released and without access to the underlying research is really challenging. what measures would you of us any like to seem to mentioned, biotech companies to get such online harassment under control? i mean, why is the children's unique protections privacy and censorship is that is something we need to play around as well and why we're just taking it. all. such, few updates have been following the course of being updated students. the middle

2023 and the kids online says that and you know, we take the, as they are trying to protect children from online, are we need to have some other concerns related to censorship. as of the impact on the daily, you know, excuse up to individuals. so that's why or why we were just discussing about some bills like this. we need to address online sites in general and, and we need to find in a wide range of time from content and interesting. but we some important mental scores and we can just share the same of their concerns regarding potential over age impact, all or as free speech. so changed type of joints or governments which does not matter. we can solve this problem with the help of the internet. governments, i mean, based on the human looking and applying some shared principles, norms, rules, decision making procedures are shared called grants,

that shape the location and the use of the internet. we leave it there for the time being, but thanks so much for joining us. and then knocked us in an ester of the dc. you empty building center, and dublin, thank you. so i do a quick acknowledge some other wild headlines police. and i'll just, you know, have used you guys to this past, but this doesn't the capital vin aside as i mean, i go over present, javier mean days bunch of by some of the phone plans demonstrate as best the police in front of the congress by the reform bill is being debated. the legislation propose as massive changes to economic and political life. a while that's been happening, the international monetary fund has a full, full point. $7000000000.00 for as in tina, praising the near administration of prison, heavier and relay. as the next massive spending cuts the i've stays, the money is spent to support efforts to restore macro economic stability. and the time effective. his grip at home back has arrived and called in london to face trying over how participation in a protest last year turned back has been johnston connection with failing to follow

police orders at the demonstration outside an oil and gas conference. she faces a nearly 3000 girl, a fine if found guilty. actor alec baldwin has pleaded not guilty to involuntary manslaughter or with a fatal shooting on a film serve in 2021 sentiment, dr. felina hutchins di, adopted a pistol, baldwin, poster housing which went off in a similar charges against the active will dropped last year, but prosecute to say they have new forensic evidence. so i'm now too much debated, subject the use of artificial intelligence or a i, particularly in the music industry. technological advances mean generative a, i can produce the original sounds next or the entire songs on its own. and as the technology evolves, the question in the industry is, when a, i mean the depth of what is the music or would lead to

a new either of creativity as mall. this might look like a regular guitar, but it isn't fox till percussion. sounds created by tapping it side before playing it, creating a 2 in one instrument. i'm trying to represent and map the messiness of the, of the input of percussive utah onto the digital sample libraries and digital synthesizes. so that basically i can play drums and other synthesizes as i play guitar at the same time. just one of the ways that students at the queen, mary university in london, are using generous as a technology to create new dimensions of musical performance. these virtual reality headsets give perform is the chance to mix sounds from different instruments without touching a single one. the many fans are excited about the

prospects of using a i to make music but to form is have mixed feelings. what i use a, i don't think it's gonna take all the robots, you know, i mean, on the site, it allows me to get another space of inspiration, all that kind of a way of thinking, i think or not. it's never going to replace live music. i think, and that's mainly the way i lead from we don't want to help me write a song, especially when it's important because it's not much of the dispute focuses on the ability of a guy to play in the likeness and music of individual artists, dead or alive, of the sort of problem that with face it said there's been a real proliferation of

a light developers who have trained our models with large scale amounts of control . it works without actually getting any authorization for doing so. and then using those tools to generate new content and actually competes with the very what's that left, misappropriated, screaming at the new technology, providing some very tricky, new legal challenges. but for these performers is still proving to be a great to company ment. i look like 3 reminder now of off top stories the, your opinion and leaders including congress, victor, hold on have approve the 50000000000 your dean on age. do you create a bond? had withheld is ok for months until today and present. joe, that most of germany's biggest airports are freezing flights, cancellations, and the may is a security worker strike. at least $200000.00 customers will likely be affected as employees demand vent to pay and benefits. they're watching. indeed,

a glimpse behind the facade of this energy time tell us, gosh, from russia's political width and starts february 3rd on dw, the hello, and welcome to this week's focus on europe. great to have you with us. millions of people in turkey will forever remember the catastrophe that happened last year and event that changed their lives forever. in the early hours of february, 6th, a heavy earthquake devastated the southern part of the country. hundreds of thousands of houses and buildings were damaged or destroyed, but many people buried under the rubble of more than 50000 lost their lives in the disaster.
