a deal to better protect your biggest nuclear plants, but warns military activity in the area has increased. ah i'm to confirm. welcome to the show. britain's king charles is in berlin on his 1st foreign trip since becoming monarch at a state banquet. on wednesday he vowed to strengthen british german ty, saying the relationship is of enduring value to us all. and it was it aimed at mending european times. after bred berlin was meant to be 2nd, the 2nd stock of his kings tore, but last week's trip to paris, what was cancelled and unrest over the french government's planned pension reform. a special welcome for special visitors, britton's king, char, so 3rd and his wife camilla. german president, frank vidal dine, maya welcomed the royal couple with military honors at berlin's bramble gate.

ah, it's the 1st time the landmark has provided a backdrop for receiving a state guest on his 1st official state visit abroad. as britons monarch king charles's hoping to improve the you case strained relations with a european union post bracket and show he can win hearts and minds brought just as his mother did for 7 decades. at his residence, she must be view. the german president praised the good relations between the 2 countries and heighten, often to day 6 years to the day after britain began the process of leaving the european union. we're opening a new chapter and our relationship was kept together as friends and partners. we're

now looking forward to the it's not form the german president also praise childs as long interest and environmental causes a topic that will determine the agenda for the 3 day visit. but 1st, it was time for some glitz and glamour. the crowning jewel of the trip estate banquet, fit for king. we stand side by side in protecting and advancing our shirt democratic violence. this is the pits of my su, clearly to day as we stand together with ukraine. the defense of freedom and sovereignty in the face of unprovoked gresh. so it's not just all sparkles. politics is never far away from these events. charles is due to address the german parliament in about 2 hours time. be sure to

join us for life coverage of his remarks. moving on the head of the u. s. nuclear watchdog says he still hopes a deal to protect ukraine separation power plant can be reached roughly grossey toward the plant on wednesday, the 2nd visit sins russian forces took control of the site. last year, the international atomic energy agencies, director general, has been pushing for security around the plan to be increased to prevent a nuclear accident. is that this is likely to involve rules rather than a physical buffer or corresponding oxidizing cave, and told me more about the dangers facing europe's biggest nuclear plant and what can be done to make it safer. the good morning nicole. yeah, i'm so grossly the head of the i just returned from his visit to this of ridge, a power plant, 2nd visit, or 2nd visit in total. the 1st visit since september. and he warned that the situation there is still very unstable, very dangerous. at the moment of this is you said it correctly. this is the largest

nuclear power plant in europe and used to provide 20 percent of the country's energy prior to the start of the war. and this area is under russian occupation. it's still it's, it's is experiencing fighting in the area which is increasing at the moment. and in the past them, this nuclear power plant has been suffering from power cuts. it does not produce energy itself at the moment, but it relies on energy coming in to stabilize its core. so engineers there had to repeatedly switch out diesel generators to stabilize the court, to prevent something, something up bad from happening. and this is actually, this is, this is what the, the out what the, the head of the i a's warning about an accident, there could be devastating. so one could and deal to secure the plant look like i. so the initial thought would be to create a safe zone, an area in which no fighting would occur. this is very difficult at the moment, especially if looking at the fighting increasing in the area. we're looking at

a potential spring offensive. we're looking at also at this area in other areas where this could take place. so a very difficult to achieve at the moment. um, the i a's trying to find a way to get both warring sites to agree to something that to agree to nuclear safety without giving any of both sides at strategic advantage of them on the battlefield. which you can imagine is a, a thin line that you have to walk there. so, so they're working on that. the president of ukraine, val admins, lensky already said, though that's as long as russia occupies the territory, as long as rush occupies their plant, no safety can be guaranteed max, and that they are and keith and take a look now at some other stories making headlines around the world to day, at least 28 people have been killed and a fairy accident in the philippines. official st. about carrying some $250.00 people caught fire of the southern island of busy lawn with some people drowning

after jumping ship and panic. rescuers are searching for several passengers, or still unaccounted for. si, fi stripped and anesha, the right to hose the under 20 football world. come the decision, fall street protests and 2 prominent indonesian governors. calling for israel to be banned from the tournament. fi fi is also considering further sanctions against the indonesian football federation. the madigan says pope frances has spent a quiet night in hospital after being admitted on wednesday for a respiratory infection. 86 year old is expected to remain at rome's gemelli hospital for a few days after experiencing breathing difficulties. through parliament has passed landmark legislation requiring the country's biggest polluters to cut their emissions or pay for carbon credits. previous attempt to make polluters pay was repealed by the conservative government and 2014. a current government says the new measures are essential to reach climate goals by the end of the decade. last month,

devastating earthquakes and turkey and syria raised urgent questions about both countries. readiness to deal with such events, scientists are already warning that the chance of another big quake is substantial, including and turkey's biggest city assemble on the race is on to get the city prepared with engineers, offering free building checks for residence and densely populated eastern bul. a team of engineers is going from house to house. they measuring the quality of concrete and the width of steel, reinforcement balls alone, easton ball authorities have admitted the city has fallen behind on earthquake prevention. and they are now offering free building checks, full, concerned residence, diploma, who since the earthquake, we have received a $120000.00 requests that we have divided into groups according to the degree of

risk of us every day, every hour of the number of requests we receive increases while the city and the bus per a straight was sped by. the recent quakes expert sate, people have a right to be concerned. one of the most active fault lines in the world runs just south of east and bull. the north anatoly unfold which separates the eurasian and anatoly and tectonic plates. seismologists say that the 47 percent chance that east and bull will be hit by a massive earthquake and the next 30 years. one with a magnitude above 7.3 years ago. don't look for the can you imagine how we live? sometimes we can't sleep because of the fear or sometimes reduced hobbies, your blog or whatever that north anatoly and false line has caused deadly damage before them. in 1999, a similarly strong tremors struck just east of eastern bull,

killing a 1000 people in the city, and 17000 people in total sense. then the city has undergone a rapid wave of urban as ation. and the city's population has doubled some 15000000 people live in eastern bull to day. all of them at risk. if the big ones strikes magnifying the danger, according to engineers and architects, a 2018 government move to legalize unregistered construction work people in istanbul. want to be sure that their home is safe. plus the up almost dunker and we're having the tester for our safety and discipline as a mom. it's important because it's impossible to know where you will be when an earthquake happens. you could be at home in the building. i am new. we've done the municipality says nearly $100000.00 buildings in the city are at risk of collapse all serious damage in the event of a major quake. is solomon there more than 1000000 buildings in a stumble?

about 800000 of them built before. 2000 views are the ones we want to focus on. it's a mammoth task. the engineers carrying out the inspection work and an anxious wait for residence, wanting to know if their home will withstand the next big quake. joining me now from london is yasmin, did him act as she's an engineer, specializing on the effects of earthquakes on buildings at university college london. welcome to d. w. now what exactly is considered an earthquake resistance building? and earth resistance building is one with sufficient vertical natural log bearing capacity. that's not gonna fall down during an earthquake, where damage is controls and life safety can be achieved. and what happens when some buildings are deemed unsafe in the event of an earthquake, as is happening and assemble right now?

now there are various means to be able to continue using the existing structures that are deemed unsafe. there are many methods to innovate the site. so i think safety as strengthening methods and retrofits methods that can be demanded on the buildings, but of course they are not miracles. they need to be designed correctly as well. they can be very costly and they sometimes cannot really save the situation. so it's very important that the buildings are viewed as the ones that are, that can be retro, it's, it's for better. so i think safety can be separated from the ones that, that comes assemble as a huge city. how long would it take to seismically retrofit a city of that that extend of that magnitude? yeah, i mean a lot a lot say also a lot of time and effort on portions to review the stuff because that's one thing that's, that, that was, that starts in, you know,

some years ago but never really complete was completed for the rest of the entirety of the city. so i think the next steps for the stumble should be deploying launching a very thorough review process. where all the professionals, academic engineers are deployed to look into the buildings building conditions. and once actually, you know that the buildings can be retrofit to identify that is going to be again a long, i'm very close the process. what can be done and should be done. but because is you also was saying, you know, the earthquake it system which is going to be a cluster of the otherwise most of the buildings in a symbol were built before rule changes that are for strict are construction standards. and even after they came into effect, we now know they were not always follow to how prepared can the city of them will be right now in that case for this next earthquake that might strike

absolutely. you are right. so, i mean, regardless the constructions, 8th, we see that the recent earthquake has shown us that the cold compliance is a big issue. so, i mean, as i said, i think the review of the buildings folks is extremely critical and very, very urgent at this point. but also we're also mentioning to the city of planning an orbit urban design should be, should be reviewed because the building safety is wrong. but also for example, right now, really stop. we are not seeing very healthy walkways and routes, the gathering spaces, etc, because the city, a group united in an uncontrollable fashion. and this needs to change and the city time needs to be looked into carefully by create the and to create these evacuation and scattering rules in case of a disaster. yes, i mean to come out of university college london. thank you for your time. thank you . aurora, astrology,

or southern lights have been spotted in an unusually vivid display over new zealand . the southern lights are typically visible this time of the year across southern parts of australia and new zealand. but this year observer said the show was particularly intense. the dancing lights are the result of charged particles from the sun colliding with gases in the earth's atmosphere. as a son's activity becomes more intense, astrophysicists expect increasingly more vivid lights every year. until 2025. that i talked facing bye bye. ah, ah. people in trucks injured when trying to flee the city center and more refugees are

being turned away and the board families flane's on the tanks in syria. these credit don't, even if we let against them trade people fleeing screen around a rough getting 200 people has sunk in the gnc. around the world. more than 300000000 people are seeking refuge. we ask why? because no one should have to flee. to make up your own mind. d. w. for mines a. oh, i'm see from beardsley in berlin. here's a look at our top stories. a group of experts, warrens about 8 dangerous race for a i, technology, and calls for a 6 month pause for governments to consider a new regulation. the former c e o of starbucks appears before congress to defend

his companies push back against union efforts, saying the company hasn't broken any loss. also in our show will visit a russian programmer now, resettling in georgia. part of an exodus of talent following the war and ukraine. welcome to our show. a group of computer scientists and tech industry executives including eli mosque is calling for a 6 month ban on the development of new a. i systems more powerful than the latest version of g p t. the model behind the popular chat g p t. in an open letter, the future of life institute says work should be halted until developers are certain that the effects of new models will be quote, positive and their risks manageable. the industry insiders warned that the advent of powerful a i will fundamentally change how humanity communicates, works and learns. they argue that a regulatory framework needs to be in place before tech companies proceed with future research. marcus crunch as

a computer science professor at the technical university of dresden, and he also signed that appeal. marcus, welcome to the show. why did you choose to sign this letter? yes. hello. and for many reasons, i think actually it's, it's not at all about stopping. i, i means us obviously no stopping of it right now, but it isn't technology that has a tremendous potential of both to do good and also to do harm. and especially the 2nd part of this is really not understood very well at the moment. we are overwhelmed by the abilities of this technology, and it seems that at birth, both research and also politics and society as a whole is lagging behind, says foss development. so the letter is all about giving a pulse to this very fast current developments that we are witnessing and, and doing things that we have already successfully done for other technologies, like genetic engineering or atomic energy where we needed some,

some ability to look into the effects and to think about how we are going to use this as a society to be useful like, what are critic said that the letter might be alarm us and then admit it misses a larger point. that the systems like chat, g, b, t, r, or mere an engineering achievements that are still far from being dangerous. and they can actually benefit workers and society. what do you say to that? well, i mean one has to read things carefully, obviously. and of course, in the media and in societies as always, many voices, and some will be alarmed, of course, also by a letter. but in general, this is not at all about a warning of a dangerous, or maybe even sentiment, self aware. i or these kind of science fiction stories, it's merely warning about a new technology which, which will definitely have a tremendous impact on how we live, how we work. and as it was that how we communicate. i mean, one of the strongest points of the engineering effort at the moment is not so much

to solve problems. we know it can do that, but sometimes it fails also. but it is very good at pretending to solve the problem . it gives us the impression of real intelligence, and this is something we have to get used to. we have humans and this will just take away. so what more transparency in these models help of that is to see a little bit more behind the veil and potentially help distribute the benefits beyond just a few large companies that are reaping the benefits of these models? to some extent, yes, but it is certainly not the only measure that needs to be taking at the moment what we need to really as a more trustworthy, more reliable a i where we can really truly understand what is going on behind the scenes and this thoughts by, of course, trying to understand what these models are doing in on their own, by themselves as they are currently trained. but this will not be enough. we need additional safeguards, additional measures on top and before and after these models come into play in

order to really create systems that can be relied on and, and a lot of research as needed there. and a lot of academic work still needed there before we can really push this into society and use it in a beneficial way. all right, us marcus, coach at you interest. and he saw that open letter warning about a i and the dangerous race to develop it. thank you very much. thank you. over the u. s. now in a much anticipated congressional showdown long time, starbucks, c. e o. howard shoals, to fitting his company's aggressive stance against union efforts in an appearance before a u. s. and a committee sholtes who's now the outgoing interim c. e o set his company had a right to push back against the efforts, and that it hadn't broken labor laws or punished employees. an administrative judge ruled against the company earlier this month, saying it intimidated workers and fired organizers. starbucks is appealing that decision, some 300 of starbucks, more than 15000 stores in the u. s. have voted to unionize. chair of the labor

committee congressman bernie sanders made the opening argument. and judges have found that starbucks broke the law, all $130.00 times across 6 states, since workers began organizing in the fall of 2021. i do take offense, i have to admit because it's quite personal. when you bring up things that you've heard that are not true, we have never ever taken any benefit away. and we never would. of anyone who was interested in joining a union. let's go and stuff on siemens in our washington bureau. stephan, how did this labor dispute turn into a, an issue for congress? ah, well, i tell you something. there were 2 really those 2 people, howard shoals, billionaire and c o 3 time c or star box and bernie sanders. those 2 couldn't be any more different and countering themselves so now burnt. now mister shows found

himself in the senate hearing because bernie sanders threatened him with a subpoena that they didn't want. and this was packed not for free coffee. there were a lot of people in this hearing, and they, and that's what the sound by we just ran didn't show. she broke out in laughter after mister shawl said that the company never broke broke a law and never punished anybody who was involved in or taking part in unionizing or organizing. so how did this end there? because the national labor board has filed so many complaints more than against any other company in the united states against starbucks for doing exactly what sanders said, they're breaking the law as a federal judge, also conclude hundreds of times all across over the nation. so on this, this fight is already costs, are bucks a tremendous amount of money to have any idea where it's going from here? well, if starbucks doesn't change, of course, then it will cost them even more money. that's is clear, but you know, starts as

a new c, e o. so let's see where this gentleman will direct the company one to will he adopt the well say reputation or the bravado offer mr. shawl, see your howard charles former, see your fortune, or who was known and reputed as a like, union buster, all will starbucks goal a different way we'll have to see and find out where this is going, but it will be costly, one way or another, right? of stuff on siemens in washington. thank you very much. hundreds of thousands of people have left russia since the beginning of the war in ukraine. one destination is georgia by russians can live and work without too much complication. tens of thousands are staying in the black sea city of but to me. but to me, georgia, a place of refuge for thousands of russians. one of them is maria,

an i t specialist from st. petersburg. she and many other refugees say they are against putin and the russian war and ukraine. she supports russian opposition, politicians, alexander novelty. but after is poisoning and imprisonment, she sees no future in russia. will bring a little possible to hold demonstrations in georgia in russia. they would immediately throw you in prison, rather than in georgia is her temporary adopted country getting in was easy. russian citizens do not need a visa. maria runs an apartment with a kitchen, bathroom, and bedroom for about $500.00 euros a month. her dog betty arrive during her 1st few days and but to me in st. petersburg, she was well paid, working as a programmer for an american company. now she works for a client based in israel. georgia makes it simple for refugees to gain a foothold,

residence and work permits are issued within a few days. grocer yoder, walter registered as a sole proprietor yet could all of that. it's very easy. it takes a day or 2 before the tax asian for small businesses, also very low, or only on one percent of income at the savoy. that's a unique situation and very attractive for i t special ed department. it's also the reason why many programmers come here. there are tens of thousands of us, didn't require under substitution. well, sir, evens low that maria would rather move to a european country than stay in georgia permanently. but the bureaucracy is complicated. the e u is not easy to enter, especially since her russian passport is about to expire. long odds have been with new hudson, pity or her. we both want to go to spain or portugal now, but i have to wait until i get a new passport off. but above since the warn ukraine, it has been very difficult to get a new russian passport quickly from here. it takes at least 6 months. so selective,

so that once the auto international for possible boats will go to court, many of russia's young talent are fleeing to other places and turning their backs on putin is reminder of our top business stores. a group of computer scientists and tech industry executives including you on mosque is calling for a 6 month ban on development of new a. i systems more powerful than the latest version of g p t. that's the model behind the popular chat g p t. in an open letter, the future of life institute says work should be halted until developers are certain that the effects of new models will be quote, positive, and the risks management long time starbucks, c. e. o. howard schultz defended his company's aggressive stance against union efforts in an appearance before a u. s. senate committee schoultz at his company had a right to push back against the efforts that it had not broken labor laws were punished. employees involved in those efforts. some 300 of starbucks more than

15000 stores in the u. s. have so far voted to unionize. all right, that's our show. you can find out more about these and other business stories online. check us out at d, w dot com slash business. we're also on youtube under the deed of news channel. you can find us on facebook as well, from the business team here. berlin, thanks for watching. conflict. with tim sebastian as the fighting grind zone in ukraine, spare a thought for some of the countries on the edge of the was how stable of a these days that smoke overs, foreign minister leak who profess group government struggling to come back. hybrid
