all of the rushing missiles inside. keeps aerospace. debris did fall across several districts with the capital. it caused a fire in one non residential building recent days and seen a flurry of russian air strikes dw economy. he's in the key, but he talked to us through the events of last night through work and about 3 in the morning local time by an old man 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 happen to that kind of drawn out over maybe an hour or 2 with things every 101520 minutes. but this was a mess attack i'm seeing attempt to try to overwhelm ukraine's at defense is 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 cuttings closed, it was just extraordinary allows you had the sound of falling debris sounded like last buckles 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 hearing to you. and you have people in social media trying to work out what's going on, trying to talk to friends, relatives, and other thoughts, city. and it feels like most people seem to have had a very similar experience. and you know, over 101520 kilometers the kind of side of the city. so i don't see lots of different things happening at the same time. that was the economy. they're reporting from keys is south africa's presidency. remember folks that says that russia and ukraine have agreed to receive a peace mission from 6 african countries. i'm opposed to it says that vladimir potent and vote him is the landscape, would meet the delegation in moscow and cheese to discuss a potential piece of plan. this announcement follows american accusations that south africa has been supplying weapons to moscow. south africa's president has insisted his country is neutral and has denied favour re rush. the

president randal thoughts that had this to say about this piece plan while he hosted the prime minister from the single port earlier today. i have discussions with the 2 leaders demonstrated that they're ready to receive advocate 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 with the head of the artificial intelligence company that created chat g p t says that his industry needs to be regulated intelligence open a i, c, e o, sam, all and told us lawmakers in washington today that artificial intelligence offers many opportunities, but he admitted that he shares the public's concern about how a i could change our large. i mean, he says that

a ipos is serious risks that need to be managed. and he suggested that a us or an international agency should be set up to regulate ai tech companies. this is not a previous hearings between tech executives and lawmakers on capitol hill. they have been rather antagonistic. i spoke with the w stuff on simon's asking me if this was the case this time around the tops, as you said, i said it and i was in shock in all positive because it was an entirely different scenario. apparently some alban 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 this opportunity who not who loved them today is where used to from facebook or middle is worker. 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

a 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, some of yours as well as ms. 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 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, so 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 diamonds on the age of a i step i said you were here in germany. the former ceo, the car maker ality, has admitted his part in the diesel gate scandal that rocked its parent company. volkswagen repaired starter as confessed to allowing vehicles that were equipped with software which cheated on emission standards test. he allow those cars to

remain on the car market even after he learned about the escape. 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 on the move. 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 engines fun. this is the 1st confection by a former volkswagen board member during the criminal investigation of the diesel scandal. now that he is 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. so it was one of the most spectacular highs in modern german history. back in november 2019 thieves broke into the green vault museum in the city of dressed if they sold 21 pieces of joy worth a 100000000. europe's today, 5 men were convicted and sentenced to prison for the cross. the ruling and dress

them 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. a dispute leashed at the clog instead, the best so meanest. and i'm concerned that at least one of these remains that launch outdoors, at least speeded up on me, investigate those other 2 maintenance voltage. proof is at least 6 people who were involved in the highest pat maintenance 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 treasures worth more than 100000000 euros. the suspects were later arrested in berlin rates. all of the

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, a strewn hat class, and an 18th century metal from poland. order of the white eagle, a plea bargain, followed. defendants were promised lighter sentences after they help secure the lute return. legal experts, call it a legitimate deal. it up as of whether its rights and appropriate to make such an arrangement as a cause. i open to debates and each individual case is good to you. under the plea bargain, 3 defendants will be released from custody until they begin their sentences dw. so i mean young has more on the store a. 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 $1.00 in particular. they were able to prepare a window grill and we can eat at the end of bolts of the robbery, 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 waves the a 113000000 years with, 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 priceless treasures of nash those significant. now these guys, a young man, they're all members of a client and extended families as 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 a museum. and it also hit department stores. and you know, some of them were on the set, far to a, gets a white car in the basement of a building, which the court said, 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 terms. yeah. we've, so we've got people convicted of the crime scene is the joe, we know that a large amount of the 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 sway. yeah, this was a deal us proposed by the, the lawyers for the defendants and the state prosecutor accent to, uh, you know, to 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 sentences, 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, [000:00:00;00] the
