to invest in their infrastructure, but it's not only about building new bridges or roads. it's also about digital infrastructure. it's about health. it's about establishing can you've seen production facilities and it was proposal that was put forward by the united states and they were pushing for that to counter a. china's belton road initiative is a mess of infrastructure program that has been, however, criticized. and as having only one goal to extent shyness influence so abuse you as has been saying, it's important for the western nations, for democracies to establish their own for us infrastructure program that is based on democratic values, and that has no strings attached. so what does that decision by repeatedly as to sign onto this us proposal?

tell us about the use relationship with china while the european union and the u. leaders have made clear a hat of this meeting here in cornwall, that they don't see china only as a rival or competitor. they also see china as partner in global issues. however, the fact that they have agreed to this new initiative is also very telling because it shows that the is a were. there is a growing criticism that this china spelled and wrote. initiative is facing a growing criticism in europe. and many leaders are concerned that china is trying to extend its influence on your doorstep. and at the same time, i think it was important for the european union, for the european union leaders to show that there are supporting you as president

joe biden. and there are ready to support him in his efforts to counter china's influence. ok, we will also seen you need as meets with post borrowers. johnson called pensions, of our breasts that threaten their friendly mood at the summit. well, boys johnson is certainly under a lot of pressure from leaders over this ongoing disputes kind of over northern ireland and then northern ireland protocol that is part of the bricks. it deal? actually we are talking about a dispute, whether it is okay to export shields, meets from mainland britain to northern ireland. the were saying it is against that protocol. and the you is saying this is just one example that is showing that the u . k is not committed to implementing this protocol while the u. k. is saying no

it's, it's just you that the you is to christic about that. but this topic has definitely potential to dominate the headlines here. ok. the w correspondent alex on that for now. i mean in cobb is b cornwell. thank you. now let's take a look at other stories making headlines around the world. the prominent hong kong pro democracy activists agnes child has been released from prison after 7, nearly 7 months of the 10 month term child was killed along with fellow activist, one on ivan lab. have role in i'm to be g, f o t, as in 2019 china hudson, who's the national security law stifle voting in parliamentary elections, overshadowed by a crackdown on anti government demonstrations. the vote is being white and said by the protest movements gotta help them move long time autocrat, abil metallica in 2019, it's as corruption. cronyism is felt profound in our respondents are going to

stablish. saudi arabia's health minister says this, yes, hard pilgrimage will be limited to 60000 people due to the panoramic only vaccinated participants from within the kingdom will be allowed to take part. usually up to 2000000 muslims, participate. the pilgrimage begins july 17. yeah. the united nations and 8 groups warning that 350000 people in a few years was on the gray region. faith in famine, conditions that you and also says millions more. i in edge in need of food and assistance. the they escaped t great fighting but not the resulting hunger. the conflict in northern it's jo pierre has been brutal. the food shortage it brought had left adult week and

children severely malnourished. oh, the un says hundreds of thousands are likely to die. and it's the young ones who are most vulnerable when this baby is very lucky to get well after coming here, there are many who didn't get this opportunity. there are babies with complications that couldn't find their way here from many parts of t gray. and we'll expect more when the roads open up but the roads remain closed even to many of those. providing aid isn't going to be dangerous and barn for us all be working other been 90 minutes areas have been killed. ready thus far on every day we have our teams, this is the p n jose partners. everybody who's trying to operate north find them. so challenge to checkpoints, they're increasingly hostile. some to grow residents brave the threats. farmers who

can't flee risk their lives by coming out to their fields. they ignore soldiers orders to stop telling the land. they know that if they do not fall, they'll have no food. when not set on the whole night because of the insecurity, you can see the land is not suitable for farming or even the ox in finding it difficult. the land should have been in its 2nd or 3rd round of tillage because we haven't had peace, we are unable to till all we can do now is just scrape the surface of a local the despite mounting criticism at home and abroad. if you'll be, a government insists in providing the needed access for a deliveries, but the patients who make it to the hospitals tell a different story. now, here in germany, the green party has now dominated the woman in hopes will replace on gala medical. as chancellor september's general election delegates to the online party conference,

gabe and not to call leda. and alina babel, despite the recent controversy that she had also fi details of her bio graphic. he's now the environmental parties, the rest of our candidate for jenny's top job. very own nina has there is following the policy convention for us and the you know, nice to have you in here now after her unprecedented fall in the polls. mean mainly because of multiple false claims in health issue. we'll see how much criticism is not about confronted with. well, of course you have to see that unprecedented full in the polls against the background of an unprecedented rise in the polls that happened after lena babble and her coach. wel, that's havoc took over the green party and many people was surprised that suddenly the green party were seen as a theory is serious contest and in the race to the country. but of course, every minute detail is being examined by all the critics,

especially the conservative and everybody who want to keep the green bay. and there are many mistakes that are not bad because i have, has made herself and she even mentioned them in her speech. she said, you know, attack is the best method of defense. so she said, i'm really obsess about the mistakes that i've made recently because she did, for example, say that she was a member of you and hcr with a, but she was only a donor of you and hcr, etc. so she knows that she's what sticks, dream the close over. what are the most important debates on the convention sofa, while the greens continue to focus on that one call topic, which is climate change and the prevention of the climate crisis. and so that is something that has dominated this party convention as well. and of course, it will depend on just how the german mood will be over the summer. weather will be still in the middle of the pandemic. and whether people will feel and that they can now focus on those topics that the greens want to put in the spotlight to think

about. how do we renew our economy? because of course gym, the gemini economy has run on fossil fuels so long, and the cream party want to in, in all great that massive change. and this is something that risky, but it could also work if we feel after this summer that the germany economy does need a re boost. the majority of the demons think that they do ever enlisted now it's not just not bad. both ratings that i've gone south, but on the policy itself it's popularity has dropped a bit, was their response. they've given it well, again, it is still very high, of course in recent weeks because of those mistakes and because of the general skepticism and towards a young female, a potential leader. she's the only woman in the race for chunk to ship. there's, i mean, last from the conservatives, and so it's from the social democrats to everybody's keeping a very close eye on what she's doing and the green party. many people are saying,

we don't know whether a woman is actually going to be somebody strong enough to stand in the room with flooding. recruiting the russian president. i really defend germany's interests, but that, of course, amounts to a certain amount of subsidy as well. so you know, you, you do have to see all the germans conservative at heart. are they going to vote for renewal and for something as revolutionary as a 40 year old woman. ok, i guess only time will tell you the reports. i mean thank you. the now in tennis, novak check of interest due to the french open final off the beaten well found about it was a thrill in semi final contest. the loss was only the funniest that in paris since he started competing out on garris. the wind for check of his gives them each sounds on sunday to clean the 19th the grand slam title. the center code in paris

has been spanish territory since raf a on the 1st one here in 2005. and so for novak joke of which this was the biggest challenge in tennis, if not all of sport that the said showed, some of why the dal has 113 titles here, the fist set to the spaniard. the serbian been fought back. he won the 2nd before the match scaled unfathomable heights. in the 3rd, the skill, the court coverage, the endurance transfixing a crowd. but since the king of play was about to be to thrive it was a semi final fit for a final. just the 3rd time the dial has been beaten in paris in 108 matches. the

super emotional for me to feel the love of the people in the most important place of my desk area without enough. so thanks. thanks a lot to them. definitely the best match that i was part of ever in rolling arrows for me and the top 3 matches that i ever played in my entire career. back job bits will play stephan, a 50 pass in the final on sunday. this is the new life of me. young, the rocking immigrants. they know the police will start done. they know that the route is not a solution. they know their flight could be fatal, like going back is not an option. shattered dreams starts june

18th on d. w. ah, the world is entering a new age of warfare. the digital revolution is sweeping through every military force on the planet. leading the charge is artificial intelligence, the technology with them, how to append everything about human conflicts, including what the humans are involved in simmering beneath is a global, hypo, to explore a d started and may never ent, he told technology is transforming all our lives. so it's no wonder that is also changing how we fight. it's making military smarter, faster, more efficient. but it's also opening up the prospect is serious, dangerous, in the future is the 3rd revolution of warfare. after gunpowder nuclear weapons, they will be more on predictability and backing me the whole world more dangerous

place. here in berlin, germany is foreign minister tells us a tech arms race is on the way as if we were right in the middle of it. that's the reality we have to deal with when. in fact, critical technologies are developing so fast that societies can barely keep up and ask themselves the question is really what we want. so in this video, we're going to 0 when to race that and not getting enough. first, lucy was the intrusion against the command controls distance. nuclear weapons could catch off the terrifying chain offense. you have to worry that it's going to escalate into something like fully electric civilization. and then we'll examine our recent war in an obscure part of the world, provided a taste of things to come. accelerating a race for autonomy weapons and how the artificial intelligence behind them could

lead to has moved horrifying speed. all of a sudden you have a have awarded, no one can start it and switch the spiral out of the cell. we'll catch glimpses of a future where was can start more easily where they can escalate faster and where humans can't stop them. machines are dictating to conduct on the battlefields. machines are making the ultimate decisions about life and death. the good news is, it's not too late. to make choices. so in the final part, we're going to look at what political leaders could be doing now to prevent that was happening down the road. but 1st we begin with the scenario that isn't from the future. it could happen today. me. we're going to england north york, moore's near the coast and the windy north. see here we find what could be the most

important place in the world that you have probably never heard of its name is filing dales. the british air force space that is notable not for it planes, but for this gray edifice, jumping out of the ground, they call it the pyramid. but in fact, it's a giant radar. it's not the only one. there's something similar on the other side of the world at clear air force base in alaska. there's another thought of this house that bill in the he's the california there's one hidden in the forest on cape cod, massachusetts, where america notches out into the west atlantic. and in the frozen north of greenland, far above the arctic circle is find that another pyramid delete. these installations are all part of america's early warning. powerful re dos built to detect attacks on the us homeland or american allies above incoming

on me to system to reach out to space their dedicated satellites. keep watch from constantly feeding back to the amount of control liberators in charge of americans . weapons. this is the nervous system of the western military alliance dates back to the cold war. but in today's geopolitical tensions, it's as crucial as ever disrupting it could leave the alliance blind, prone to attack, was made clear in americas late use nuclear posture, review essentially the instruction manual if it's the most powerful weapons. this infrastructure is so important. the review says that if it were attacked, the u. s. might respond by using nuclear weapons, as we're going to find out, despite their critical position at the heart of western security,

the systems of vulnerable to new and unpredictable threats. the 1st early warning systems were built decades ago, at the height of the cold war, that job detecting nuclear missiles coming in from russia. as they've been updated over the decades to crucial things, have changed that make them more exposed. first, many a no longer focused only on nuclear threats. that multitasking knows the be well in the control systems whose existence is these acknowledged by the us government are used exclusively to operate. james acton is one of the world's leading experts on nuclear security. and that's one example of this phenomenon that the growing entanglement between the nuclear i'm the new to this idea of entanglement is important. it needs to be incredibly sensitive area of nuclear weapons, is no longer separation off in its own bubble. it's become mixed in with masses of

conventional warfare. and that's multitasking means that the systems are more likely to be a target in a crisis or a concept atlas, or it could have a potential incentive to attack these jews used to mom the control assets. so the nuclear no new care operations potentially, they do not in order to disrupt us convention was tied to, but that would have the effect of degrading the us nuclear bombs of control architecture. so there are more reasons to attack these targets. and on top of that comes the 2nd big change. they've entered the digital age, opening them up to the prospect, the cyber attack systems, and now relying on digital signals as opposed to analog signals. increasingly relying on things like ip based operating systems, which creates vulnerabilities,

for example in the form of. ready fabrics, you know, very old fashioned, you collect a moment troll systems that didn't you teach to. systems were in cyber attack. there's a code that to do the attack. hundreds of german politicians have fallen victim to a half of their personal information, a major hacking today. cyber attacks are an every day event. we often hear about them on the news. in fact, some say we've entered a low grade cyber war that will never stop a mix of state level non state actors, constantly probing and attacking networks around the world. that's just the reality of 21st century life and something that will have to deal with some of the most serious cyber attacks to hit public infrastructure like those against ukraine's telegraph. the tax blamed on russia. attacks like that on

civilian infrastructure become a macro major public concern, but only a small circle of experts. a thinking about how a cyber attack or nuclear commander control systems might play out. and here the stakes could not be higher to see what could happen. let's go back to the english coast and filing dales, the early warning system, peering across the north sea towards russia. in a crisis situation with the kremlin. this could be a prime target. that's so significant because that radar is exposed us right out to the, to rushes biggest concentration of its new places. the one that would get the quickest warning of a russian nuclear attack. don't say the most intended to remember that idea if entanglement between the nuclear and non nuclear realms finding dales is a key example of this. pushing out, not just for nuclear missiles,

but also the conventional weapons. russia was full air in full range ballistic in europe. fighting down to see those myself in a way that of the us. right. so the figure of all the us, the morning rate of finding is the one that has the biggest rushing to attacking and prices are a conflict. and it's known that a test could have the biggest effect on the term, the debate teacher. i didn't scenario where exactly that happened. he's all too easy to imagine me. in the near future, or in latvia, a former soviet republic. now, a member of nature protest broken out to my ethnic russians who are choosing the government of discrimination. as the protest turn violent,

russia begin to massive troops along the border. west leaders accused moscow orchestrating the unrest as a pretext to invade this tiny native age. neighboring stony list, wayne ya, former people public, and also now members of nature. cyber attacks, fear spikes across the region. for the 1st time since the cold war, nato, russia around the brain, direct conflict. at the crisis, the us to takes malicious computing, planted in early bowling networks, and in the heart of assistant, ultra james acton, explains what happens next. if you have malicious code in your network, it's very hard to know what that code does. it takes a long time to analyze the code, understand what the site is doing. and this makes it very hard to know whether it's

malicious code is just for espionage or is also for offensive operations as well. in the price, this doesn't haven't had a chance to even if that code is used like purposes, there is a danger that the u. s. my can to, that is preparations for an a on an early morning malware sprint, the u. s. also has to work out a plan today. that's a process called attribution. it takes time and it is not easy. adding pressures of fear. 17. there's various countries that could have incentives to cyber espionage or pass to cyber attacks by searching malware against us or the warning system in the rear would haven't just for doing china would have an incentive doing. russia would have an incentive for doing it. maybe others took

a me all that on certainty with the latvian crisis. ongoing russia becomes the assessment. i think there is a change in the crisis. assume that russia implanted the malware even if you know the search. and so, you know, chinese implementation of korean implementation again in a fast moving crisis, so that you don't have time to use the attribution properly, maybe misinterpreted as russia as, as, as a, as a washer. and so in the heat of this crisis on the intense pressure, the us has some enormous decisions to make its most sensitive nuclear weapons infrastructure. he's under cyber attack. it doesn't know what the code is doing or who planted it, but the circumstances suggest it's a russian attack. so the americans decide to respond in kind with a cyber attack of that road against russia systems. it then does the same thing

again, like it's not necessary for an attack at this point, espionage and so purposes and saying, you know, anything you can do, we can do better. the problem is that russia is very worried about the survive ability of its nuclear forces. now russia fees the us, he's trying to mess with nuclear weapons. discovering susan's in your, in your commodity control system, and exacerbate those companies the us. it's preparing to attack for parenting, eliminate the criticism of the 2 sides, or entering a spiral of escalation the lead towards disaster. with the relentless logic, russia makes the 1st move, the love of nuclear weapons based on trucks. who say we have to disperse to make the survivable so us couldn't destroy them. so they may do that because they worried about us nuclear attack. but that kind of actually fear that they're

preparing to use a map back to cleaners tomorrow. but i think to capitalize nuclear weapon use directly, us been disposed to nuclear forces back. and so the russians feel that the u. s. was thinking about using nuclear weapons and that leads to russian liberties, nuclear use limited nuclear use. we've gone from a piece of mystery code found in the wrong place to a nuclear attack. how did that happen? well as to what governments can't do in that situation on price, pause, slow things down for a moment, and peace them back together. because this is how a regional crisis can turn into a catastrophic war in the heat of a crisis with russia and the u. s. detect malware and it's early warning networks, fearing it could be rushing codes aimed at disabling systems. it retaliate with a cyber intrusion into rushes networks. now it's nuclear capability.
