coming up the ceo of the company behind chat g p t. answers, questions on capitol hill, sam alton, tell me why makers, how artificial intelligence needs to be kept in the chest and a former v. w executive confessing his role in the diesel gate scandalous meeting. guilt means that the former l, the c, e. o. bridge toddler could avoid prison. and in one of the biggest art, highest in modern history. 5 being members convicted and sentenced to prison for stealing priceless jewels. from a german museum, the brit gone to our viewers watching on cbs in the united states and to all of you around the world. welcome. we begin on the day after there's overnight air strikes on ukrainian capital, keep grading in the fish those describing what they saw last night as being

exceptionally intense. the head of keeps military administration says that the russian attacks use the drones cruise missiles and probably ballistic missiles. screens, chief military commander said the defense systems were able to destroy all of the russian missiles with in keeps aerospace debris fell across at several of the capitals districts causing a fire in one non residential building. recent days of seat, a flurry of russian air strikes. cdw is nick connelly is in the key, but he talked us through the events from last night. we were working about 3 in the morning local time by an old mag cheap bang. and it went on with incredible density and kind of intensity for about 1015 minutes, and then it was over. so normally when these attacks happened today, kind of drawn out over maybe an hour or 2 with bangs every 101520 minutes. but this was a mess. attack i'm seen, attempt to trying to overwhelm ukraine's and defenses by sending

a lot of different weaponry. at the same time, i felt like it was on a movie set. it was so bright in my apartment, despite having a cut and disclosed it was just extraordinary allows you had the sound of pulling debris sounded like last bottles being thrown out of the window and the windows were shaking. and then basically as quickly as it began, it was over. so this was definitely very different to the normal experience here and to you have and you have people in social media trying to work out what was going on, trying to talk to friends, relatives, another about the city. and it feels like most people seem to have had a very similar experience in over 101520 kilometers the kind of side of the city. sort of see lots of different things happening at the same time. that was dw, is the connelly. they're reporting from keith now to talk of a possible peace plan in coming from africa, south african president 0 and my folks. and it says that russia and ukraine have agreed to receive a peace mission from 6 african contracts, a brand of hers that says that vladimir putin involved him is the lensky would meet the delegation in moscow and keith to discuss a potential peace plan. no,

the announcement follows american accusations that south africa is supplying weapons to moscow. rental folks the insisting his country is neutral. he has denied of favoring russia a present around the folks that had this to say about the peace plan. while he was hosting the prime minister from single port today, i have discussions with the 2 liters demonstrated that they're about ready to receive african need us to have a discussion on how this conference can be brought to it and whether that to succeed or not depend on the discussion that would be held i was able to get an update from our correspondent privilege was here in cape town, or the president run up. what i say is that over the weekend,

he had the opportunity to speak to both the president zelinski and president for me over this proposed i think a piece initiative about 6 countries. exact includes. i'm the senate go egypt quote, google brazza view. and so last week i'm interested in carrying out this piece a mission to go and try and speak to both lead does for it peace settlement. so he says that after the now initiate the initiative, because this totally does have indicated that of their willingness to the leasing and receive these delegations, the now move as a tool, as that's the discussion on how to, of course, that you do these delegation. that's what we have to go and sit down with the tool

warning the, the, you know privilege there has been talk. it's several times since the beginning of this more about possible peace plans. they certainly have it hand out what makes the leaders from these 6 african nations, what makes them think that they have a better chance when it comes to mediating or bringing about the end of this? well. so i think for us, we to, uh they, they, they could be leverage in terms of using its soft power and proximity to some of the countries that are in briggs, said china, china is a major player in the brakes. and i'll freak up his good, strong ties with china, i'd say now could play a part in terms of probably influenced being the russian president to sits down for a peace settlement in terms of these conflicts that is ongoing. so if you look, it's also the willing willingness, ofa,

a prison zelinski to pay and you and receive the african dedication. they use the i think lights in terms of us. we can lead to as a trying to broke out these uh uh, pieces do, but it won't be significant. and you know, it may be assessed in terms of seeing, i think, a bro cutting piece in europe and outside of the african continent that last week the government of south africa was, was having to defend itself against the obligations that it is supplying weapons to russia. i mean that makes it look like it is anything but impartial when it comes to this war. what does that do then to the credibility of these leaders as impartial mediators to some extent, it is a dental and so last the guys having these allegations of clothes, the allegations us to ongoing the investigation that they have said they are

getting out to prove with that we funds we sold to rights yet, but out in terms of uh, so last week i, so i figured he is a major player in brakes. is a man the mega member in brief. so i think i'll pretend lead as i'm taking so that's we got is a big play in breaks. that's going to be able to sit on the same table with russia and have an influence and pass on the voice of african countries. what bearing the brunt of the ukrainian conflict in terms of the disruption of global supply chains? okay, of course bonding privilege was bought here even 40 to night from cape town. privilege . thank you. the head of the artificial intelligence company they created chat g p t says that his entire industry needs to be regulated. open a i, c o c. i'm old and told us lawmakers in washington today. the artificial intelligence offers many opportunities for the admitted that he shares the public

is concerned about how a i could change our lives. he says that a i poses a serious risk that need to be managed. and he suggested that a us or an international agency should be set up to regulate a i tech companies, not yeah. words of warning there. let's go now the dw step on pharmacy was at the hearing. the us senate today get to see your step on this is not the, the 1st a hearing we'd seen on capitol hill with tech industry executives talking to us lawmakers in the past. they were rather antagonistic. sometimes the lawmakers didn't seem to know exactly what was being talked about today. seemed like a completely different story was it stopped as you said, i sat in it and i was in shocking all positively because it was an entirely different scenario. apparently, a sam open, it had his christening here and became now

a big name in the business because everybody seems to be friends with him, at least the senators, in the subcommittee, who not clumped them today is where used to, from facebook or middle is look or a man or, or, or from google executives to get a really big time from the senators. not with a moment and 2, there were everybody surprise that was probably historic. and one senator said, and mark this hearing story because that is the 1st time that actually an industry leader or somebody who works in the business comes to us and wants to be regulated . and it is really a 1st time, at least, as far as i can recall in this. and so you've got an industry executive saying regulate us. do we know what that regulation would look like? and that's the problem that nobody knows. and there are few scenarios, right? or ideas out there, what do you, how do you do it if you know a, i, out of houston,

texas be, can become a problem. so where can it become a problem? how can i become a problem of who is over seeing, overlooking, and do you create something like an agency, a government agency who has not just the current, but also are sick? who can enforce regulations code's loss is that wrong? but can it be a scenario of is, let's say a, do, you know, we're talking not just united states, but this is a global thing. i got a global problem more challenge if you will, should that be something like a, um, a supreme court of forth for a i and what to do with a i what not to do with that. but so those were the questions, senators, as well as miss altman and 2 other people who testified their very smart people, one from ibm and one professor with a capacity on the i research and ask themselves and asked each other. so nobody has the answer that yeah, i think as of now and so sitting in on this and listening to what these executives

had to say. are we clear about the benefits and the risks of a, i mean, should we be more frightened or should we be more optimistic about these changes that are coming at us like us? you know, i think everybody agreed today that a balanced approach of a good, healthy dose of fear and caution on easiness with a i is, is what we should have. but there will be benefits, but there will also be problems jobs. how many adults will be killed? how many will be created? what about data, privacy, personal privacy? what about a i and the possibility to mingle into the political process free elections, for example. all those questions are really of the top of the agenda, need answers, and again, the subcommittee in the senate tried to get some that's just the beginning of the process. yeah, we will see who has a job and who does it the next time we talk. step 5, diamonds on the age of

a i step i said you were here in germany. the former ceo of the car maker ality has admitted his part in the diesel gate scandal that rocked its parent company volkswagen river and stopped or confess today to allowing vehicles equipped with software that she did on emission standards test to remain on the car market. even after he learned about the scan, it was the biggest scandal in german automotive history, diesel gate. in 2015, it came to light that millions of emissions tests for diesel vehicles had been manipulated at volkswagen and its subsidiary, audi. engineers use software to cheat emissions tests, showing values that were cleaner than they actually were. but now the former head of audi roo birch toddler has confessed to fraud by negligence. in

a statement admitting he could have intervened, but failed to do so. some things, toddler says he now regrets a good clock. the hutch i used has stated that he failed to inform the customers that the engines were equipped with relevant devices that could possibly lead to official measures afterwards. this is the core of the accusation that the public prosecutor's office made against him. in this respect, he admitted that as well as a point that he could have prevented at some point just as he could have informed them himself. he could have informed the public himself that these deactivation devices were fitted in the engine sun. this is the 1st confection by a former volkswagen board member during the criminal investigation of the diesel scandal. now that he's admitted guilt, the trial against rupert stopper is likely to end with a suspended sentence and a fine of one point. 1000000 euro is the final verdict is expected in june.

and here is more now from the new york times business reporter jack you i think it does show once and for all if there was any doubt left that the scandal did go all the way to the top of volkswagen who pushed out there was a member of the management board, volkswagen as continued to maintain this was mostly the work of lower ranking executives. and i think the show is quite clearly the responsibility did go all the way to the management board and at volkswagen at do you think that the, the board, the executives have of come to the realization that this whole scandal was not worth it? it didn't bring in the revenues that may, they may have hoped for. and now of course we're looking at the costs to the company in terms of not only fines, but in terms of the company's reputation. yeah, well i think volkswagens reputation still hasn't recovered from the whole thing. was it worth it? no certain weight and certainly not. i mean,

the goal of the main reason i get it in the 1st place was to try to sell more cart cars in the united states to try to become as important as in the united states as they are in europe and asia. and they have failed and that they're still trying to, to break out of the sort of new position that they have in the united states. so now it definitely wasn't worth it for forest walker, the point of view and the message that it says you've got the executive saying, yes, i did do a bell and it didn't stop it. and i've been convicted, but i still avoid jill time. you know, i think in the united states, i mean the, the, the only people that have done jail time in connection with the scandal over to lower ranking executives who served the present time in the united states. so i think from an american point of view, style is getting off pretty easily. yeah, he has to pay a big fine. is reputation's ruin, but he doesn't have to go to jail. i think if this trial was going on, the united states, he would not be getting off of this easily and list. i want to put this in to the

context of the broader all the market jack of china is now the world's largest car, ex border on surpassing japan, which is now number 2, germany has fallen to 3rd position and we know vw has been a big driver and its exports and is it seeing that it that i guess it dr weekend by everything that has happened a i think the, the emission scandal played a role. that wasn't the only reason it certainly heard volkswagens reputation. i think the big problem now is that the auto industry is going electric. and the chinese have been investing in electric technology for a decade or longer and now are coming on strong and displacing the western automakers, particularly volkswagen, which had been very strong and volkswagen in china. but is losing market share to the chinese automakers. i think that's their biggest problem right now. new york times business reporter jack, you and jack,

we appreciate you taking the time to talk with us tonight. thank you. well, it was one of the most spectacular highs in modern german history. in november 2019 thieves broke into the green volt museum in the city of dresden. they sold 21 pieces of jewelry, worth a 100000000. europe's today, 5 member convicted and sentenced to prison for the cry. the ruling and dress. then came 3 and a half years after the audacious heist. 5 men will be serving prison sentences ranging from 4 years and 4 months to 6 years. and 3 months, 6 defendant was acquitted, disabilities to clog and stared the best so meanest. and i'm concerned that it least one of these remains that launch outdoors and disputed off on me investigate those other 2 maintenance voltage. proof is at least 6 people who were involved in the highest pat minutes and sixpence. the one in the title. it was,

it remains unclear whether the group received help from other individuals. in the early hours of november 25th, 2019. the men broke into the royal palace museum through a window they prepared earlier on a visit during opening hours. wielding an axe, they smashed the display case and seized jewel encrusted treasure is worth more than 100000000 euros. the suspects were later arrested in berlin rates. all of them members of the remo clan, an extended family tied to organized crime. their trial opened in january 2022 december investigator secured most of the looted treasure, including a diamond to strewn hat class and an 18th century metal from poland. order of the white eagle, a plea bargain, followed. the defendants were promised lighter sentences after they help secure the lutes, return. legal experts call it a legitimate deal, opposite whether its rights and appropriate to make such an arrangement as

a cause. i opened to debates and each individual case difficulties under the plea bargain. 3 defendants will be released from custody until they begin their sentences. but dw salvage young has more now on the store. uh, yeah, brent uh and you know, some ways this rubbery was the stuff of movies. these fees had studied the museum and prepared over months intensively looking for the weak spots. and they found one in particular. they were able to prepare a window grill and we can 8 uh votes of the rubbery and that's how they got into the building. and then with that sort of level of determination and violence, you've got to say they smashed the protective gloss that was protecting these, these treasures, and go to away with the a 113000000 euro as was well, that's the insurable value. but i think the,

the potential sale value going to be many times that. and of course in fact these items are a priceless treasures of nash those significant. now these guys, a young man, they're all members of a client and extended family. this well known to the police been involved in the organized crime. and indeed it seems to specialize in this kind of high value robbery. at least one of the men has been in jail before for stealing from the museum. and they've also hit department stores and you know, some of them were all and they set far to a, gets a white car in the basement of a building, which the cool, se, endangered lives. you know. so it was a case which really attracted national attention. and at last, you know, these men of the been sentenced to jo tubs. yeah, we've, so we've got people convicted of a crime scene is the jail. we know that a large amount of large number of the gems have been recovered. but we also know

that there are still some jewels that are missing, so you know how good of a of a ending is this the way. yeah, this was a deal uh us proposed by the, the lawyers for the defendants and the state prosecutor except today. uh, you know, to, uh, get 4 of the men to give full confessions and also to show police where at least some of the jews were. and in return for the somewhat mildest tendencies, was it a good deal? well, some say, you know, they, the, the cool really had no choice. as i said, this was, these are royal treasures, dating back centuries of national importance. so with a huge value. and so you're any way that they could be recovered and restored to the museum? i think the cold felt it had to do that. on the other hand, what message does it send to other criminals? yeah, he may be tempted to carry out this kind of event, some experts even say robust steel,

some items to have them in hand. sunday can the ball gain from all the sentence is uh it should they have a, a face of course. so that might be the wrong message, just keeping the diamonds in your pocket, so to speak. so i'm young. thank you. i've been calling and film festival begins today, and the opening films receiving lots of attention fuel by on and off screen scandals . john do body features johnny depp, whose court cases once threatened to drill his career. not anymore as johnny depp is back on top, playing francis king louis the 15th in the new film. john, do you bother you about a former prostitute who became the king's mistress? shift to the thought of what don't use you to select this kind of cool come united this you are the good thing because of his american accent. dep only speaks a few lines in the whole movie,
