but then your convention dug into prevail in the final 3 sets in a match that lasted almost 4 and a half hours. this is his 19th grand slam title to your news state at this hour. thank you. and for our documentary view for wars and how to prevent them, enquire, richardson in berlin for me in the entire new team here in berlin. thank you so much for watching and do check out our website, d, w dot com. the news young, the rocking immigrants, they know the police will stop. i mean that the route is not a solution. they know their flight could be fatal. going back, it's 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 up and everything. human conflicts, including where the humans are involved and simmering so nice is a loan goals, highball. it's already started and may never and digital technology is transforming all our lives. so it's no wonder that it's 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 interest place here in berlin, germany is foreign minister tells us a tech arms race is underway. as if we're right in the middle of it, that's the reality we have to deal with. in fact, critical technologies are developing so fast that societies can barely keep up and ask themselves the question. this is really what we want. so in this video, we're going to 0 in on 2 risks that are not getting enough 1st to see how was the intrusion against the command control systems and nuclear weapons could set off the terrifying change. you have to worry that it's going to escalate into something like fully collected civilization. then we'll examine how a recent war in an obscure past, 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 slicks has moved horrifying speed. all of a sudden you have a have a ward of no one be started and switch the spiral out of the cell will catch glimpses of the future where it 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 the worst from 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 mores near the coast and the windy north sea. 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 great edifice jutting 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 or the other side of the world at clear and full space in alaska. there's another thought of this house that built in the he's in california and there's one hidden in the forest on cape cod, massachusetts, better america notches out into the west atlantic and in the frozen north of greenland, far above the arctic circle. to find that another pair of limbs, these installations are all part of america's early warning. powerful regions built

to detect attacks on the us homeland or american allies. the incoming missile system that reaches out into space dedicated satellites keep watch from the high cost of the seat, back to the command 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 lines blind. prone to attack, check was made clear in americas late use nuclear posture, review essentially the instruction manual if it's most powerful weapons. this infrastructure is so important. the review said that if it were attacked, the u. s. might respond by using nuclear weapons, as we're going to find out, despite the 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. their job detecting nuclear missiles coming in from russia. as they've been updated over the decade to crucial things have changed that make them more exposed. first, many, and no longer focused only on nuclear threats that multitasking, none of the be well in the control systems. his existence as being a knowledge by the us government are used exclusively for their operational, james acton, each 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 and the don't give entanglements 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 these 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 jewels used to mom to control the use of a nuclear, you know, new care operations potentially. they do not in order to disrupt us, can venture was tied to, but that would have the effect of degrading us new click on the 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 of 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 cyber very old fashion, you click a moment process of the didn't use digital systems. we're in longer with the cyber attack. there's no code there 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 everyday 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. so you have 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 have hit public infrastructure like those against ukraine's grace attacks 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 on 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 dale's, the early warning system, hearing across the north sea towards russia in a crisis situation with the kremlin. this could be a prime target that so significant that re dollars us radar to the, to rush is biggest concentration of its new places. the one that get the quickest warning of a russian nuclear attack. he said the most intense, remember the tax id, entanglement between the nuclear and non nuclear realms filing tails is a key example of this, watching out not just for nuclear missile,

but also for conventional weapons. russia was full air in short range, ballistic europe, siding down. i could see those myself in a way that of the us, right. so the figure could, so of all the us saturday morning, right? fighting gals is the one that has the biggest russia to attacking the prices that are a conflict. and it's known that attacks could have the biggest effect. all the terms are degrading strategically building and scenario where exactly that happens is 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 into my ethnic minority russians who refusing the governments of discrimination. as the protest turn violent,

russia begins and massing troops along the border. west leaders accused moscow orchestrating the unrest as a pretext to invade. this tiny may to the neighboring estonia and list when you also former soviet republics and also now members of nature supported cyber attacks . fears likes across the region. for the 1st time since the cold war, nato and russia bring direct conflict. as the crisis, the us to take the militia computer planted early building networks in the heart of assistant ultra. hi james. i can explain what happens next. if you find 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 other site is doing. and this makes it very hard to know

whether it's malicious coded just for espionage or is also for offensive operations as well. i didn't default moving practice because i haven't yet had a chance. even if that code is used for the purposes, there is a danger that the u. s. might can to, that is preparations for an attack 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. having pressures or fear d 17. there's various countries that could have incentives to cyber espionage or path to cyber attacks by searching malware against us or the warning system that really would have an antique. china would have an incentive doing. russia would

have an incentive to doing maybe others took a me all that certainty with the latvian crisis on going, russia becomes the obvious suspect. i think there is because gene is in the crisis to assume that russia implanted the malware. even if you don't know for certain to get it. so you know, chinese implantation, north korean implementation, again in a fast moving crisis, which you don't have time to be attribution properly, maybe misinterpreted as russia as washer. and so in the heat of this crisis on the intense pressure, the weight has some enormous decisions to make its most sensitive nuclear weapons. infrastructure is 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 their own, against russian systems. if then does the same thing against slash, right? it's not necessary for an attack at this point. espionage is taken purposes and saying, you know, anything you could do, we could do better. the problem is that russia is very worried about the survive ability of its nuclear forces. now russia is that the us is trying to mess with nuclear weapons. discovering cyber susan's in your, in your commodity control system, can exacerbate those fancy companies to us in preparing for parenting. eliminate the 2 sides rendering a spiral of escalation. the lead towards disaster with the relentless logic. russia makes the 1st move. a lot of the nuclear weapons be so based on trucks who say we have to just to make the survival, us couldn't destroy. so they may do that because they worried about us nuclear attack, but that kind of action could cause some fear that they preparing them and that

fast for us to know that i think we capitalize nuclear weapons, use direct us, they disperse to each nuclear forces back and so the russian fears that the u. s. was thinking about nuclear weapons and that leads to russia limit. she's nuclear 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, let's do what government can't do in that situation when 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, the u. s. detect malware and it's early warning networks, fearing it could be russian codes aimed at disabling systems. it was with the cyber intrusion of it's turning into russia. russia now sees it's nuclear capable.
