ah, ah, you're watching the news, our on al jazeera with me for the battle. a reminder of our top stories, teenagers president, case i eat as approved a new government nearly 3 months after he fired the last one. prime minister, national den, who was appointed by said last month said the administration's main priority will be tackling corruption. initial results on the right spot em entry election are being released to turn out for sundays. hordes was about 41 percent. that's the lowest in sadam. hussein was supposed in 2003 and in brooklyn, of foster the trial for those involved in the assassination of former president maslanka is underway. 14 people are accused of complicity in his murder, including former president blair's compel re and more now on our top story, the formation of a new government into nysha. fidel ali visa is the editor in chief of miss carl at an asian news in analysis website. he says,

the legitimacy of the government will be questioned. we're just learning about many of these members. these are not members, you've been part of political parties or, or large on the political scene before today. many of them are coming from that. give me about half of them are coming from academia, either professors or lecture of the university, about a 3rd of them are women and the president has made very clear that the, the important stuff, the symbolism and having the 1st female prime minister and, and clearly is continuing about with, with about a 3rd of the, the important he's being women after the president suspended to parts of the constitution. he's appointing them under a decree that he, the president, the issued on september 22nd, which basically says that all. busy the prime minister knows will be done, maybe choosing the so many have been close coordination with the president and ultimately they are responsible to the president himself. previously, the news under the 2014 constitution had a divided the executive between the president and the prime minister. but now

really the executive power lies mainly with the president under the decree, of course, normally the parliament should be approving the government. but according to the new decree, that's not the case. so, you know, there will certainly be among the president's critics. questions from the government, but nonetheless, even supported of the problem that said, this is something that you need to do to sort of name a new government to sort of set forward a vision going forward to people who supported the move on the 25th had become more impatient were thing that really, that they needed to see a clear plan from him going forward about what was coming, particularly as it's been very little communication from the presidency about his vision going forward. what you'd like to implement in terms of policies in various sectors. now there's been concern about the race for dominance between china and the us when it comes to the use of intelligence in the digital age. the pentagon's, former software security chief chief, quit his job last month, saying the u. s. is too far behind china in artificial intelligence. nicholas

challenge departing message was that the u. s. military, psychological transformation is too slow. jalen says china is heading towards global dominance. it's already advancing emerging cyber technologies and capabilities. while i speak to catalina, go on to about this. she's assistant professor in law and technology at math state university, and she's joining us via skype from may. i thank you very much for being with us. first of all, are you surprised by any of the revelations from the pentagon swimmer chief, a software operator about china's dominance of artificial intelligence? what is the fate of play right now? so those are some very interesting development sir, but i am not surprised in the slightest. let's have a look at some fact. so if we look at one of the greatest top tier conferences in artificial intelligence, your i p s. we look at some data from 2019 and we see that researchers coming from china have of most papers around 25 percent compared to 20 percent of for both

u. s. and the you have, you actually had 18 percent. but we also see that top tier ai researchers have been predominantly working from the united states. so perhaps the battle is not that last yet. what is behind the fact that the u. s. is lagging behind. so they had the entire idea of a leading and a i think that right now we see that there is this geopolitical id geopolitical move to try to to call dibs on this field of a i. however, if we look at the pentagon chief's chief softer officer officers move, we see that this is also just a reflection of this very sensitive area of cybersecurity and cyber warfare. it was earlier in the last month actually that we heard also from the united states about the 1st victim, the 1st death that arose out of the ransomware and ransomware attack at a hospital. so it is somewhat understandable that this frustration exists in this

field of cyber security. the pace and the threats and, and the exponential increase of these threats is really remarkable. however, leading in a, i is not just about cyber warfare. there are many other aspects of society that we need to consider around so as such as facial recognition, right? i, and i'm going to get to that in a 2nd. but i just want to ask you for as you know, the fact that this is like sort of a new cold war. what, what is the biggest danger for the you, wes, lagging behind china? i think the biggest danger for, for the u. s. is basically. busy trying to engage in this and this entire race to the top that actually turns into a race to the bottom. because engaging in leadership and artificial intelligence should be done. also a with keeping in mind fundamental rights. so human rights. and this is what the european union has been trying to do in not only promoting this new a regulation on a i that is now on the table for the european parliament. but also earlier this

month, the european parliament has been looking at a, creating an in and re a re assessing a ban on of a private facial recognition databases and also behavioral policing or citizens scoring. in saying that we need to really take into account fundamental rights and that can also be a drawback, and this entire race for developing ai dominant. and i wanted to ask you a bit more about that. i mean, a, i, as you say, is important in many different fields from manufacturing, to advertising, to medical treatment to agriculture. so what does china's global dominance of, of artificial intelligent mean, concrete leave for, for me, how does it affect you? and i, for example, we see that there are a lot of companies coming out of china and that are perhaps really using a lot of different systems that are not under the jurisdiction of the west or under the jurisdiction of the european union. we see, for instance, that a lot of payment platforms and a lot of

e commerce solutions have been really revolutionizing the way in which consumers, even from other jurisdictions and other places in the world all have been impacted in their and their daily lives. so an example that i can reflect on with my private life for tease is basically consumer protection. however, this brings me to the point that this entire but this entire discussion about who dominates what market really needs to take into account. not only the market discussion, but also these geopolitical a geopolitical interest. so perhaps it is time to have a new treaty where we all slow down certain developments of a i so that we can better understand what kind of harms can affect not only one country, but societies global societies at large. thank you so much, catalina gone to talking to us about this. thank you for your insight. thank you so much. money. $22000.00 girls a dying every year from pregnancy and childbirth that results from child marriages . the figures have been combined by save the children on the international day of

education, but also supervising essential protective factors in girls lives. and a lot of girls have lost that. and finally, economic insecurity is increasing even where we haven't seen high outbreaks in cases. and we know that that is a recognize respect if a child married for adolescent pregnancy and in some places where hearing that leading to sexual exploitation. girls who i think sexually exploited in exchange for things like food and period things, but most of that was also increasing risk of adolescent pregnancy. and again, put myself at risk. we know that girls who are in their adolescent, yes, i'm not physically ready to be children, their body, the to small. right. a risk of high risk pregnancy and death during childbirth as well as what he's still growing, which means the nutrients that they've made, you know, going to growing myself as well as the baby. putting those 2 things at risk. and i

believe is the place that even before the pandemic had health systems, which were really struggling and for now under increased pressure, because i think even more barriers to getting the health support they need the current of on his current current of iris pandemic. now in astrazeneca says it's covered 19 cocktail drunk helps reduce disease in patients, tries of the drunk show that it kept people from developing severe symptoms. the cocktail reduce death by 50 percent in patients who had been symptomatic for up to 7 days. it was tested on people at high risk of developing severe reactions to the virus. in australia, tens of thousands of residents in the city of sydney have emerged after more than a 100 days of locked down. the state has reaches vaccination, target of 70 percent with a number of infections. now on the decline, far clunk reports. gray skies and rain weren't enough to damp and the spirits of those and sydney came to embrace what's being described as freedom, date, filing good to get ad in just

but they will still have to undergo pcr cove at tests and undergo a 14 day mandatory quarantine when they return to malaysia. now those that said the border is not yet open to foreign tourists visits are still limited to emergencies, official and business purposes. now that will come as a bit of a disappointment to the tourism industry. this was an industry, there's been one of the worst affected by the pandemic. that said, the government says it is reassessing the situation and it's going to be reassessing whether or not it's safe to reopen the international borders. further to more people. now the prime minister in announcing the easing of restrictions on sunday said the, the daughter shows that the that cove at 19 has reached an endemic phase in malaysia. he said, while the country is still reporting thousands of new cases daily, many of these cases don't go on to report serious symptoms. and it shows that the
