the, the, to watch and it'll be a news coming to your wi, from berlin. germany unveils its 1st ever national security strategy. it outlines the government's board and defense policy, and also how it sees itself in the world. we look at what it could mean for germany's allies also coming off of show russia once again target civilian

buildings in ukraine. this time in the block c port of odessa, 3 people have been killed and at least a dozen others injured. plus european lawmakers vote on a new rock law regulating artificial intelligence. we look at the upside and downside of trying to rein in a. i the hello, i'm clear. richardson, thank you so much for joining us. germany has unveiled, it's 1st the national security strategy, which has been years in the making. strategy focuses on defense resilience and sustainability. chancellor, all life schultz presented the documents along with his top ministers. they said national security goes beyond the armed forces and includes space, energy, food and climates. they also set the strategy will work to strength and defense

against the espionage and sabotage. so let's hear more from what the german chancellor, how to say. wouldn't know that quote, in the negotiations on the formation of the coalition, we had agreed that we would work up such a national security strategy again that this was before the tide and vendor, the tiny part in history before the invasion in ukraine, before the brutal war of aggression that has since been raging into ukraine and before the explosion of the norfolk sweep pipelines. i emphasize all these events to make clear how soon food for thought you on a line totally of the security environment. in the has changed for germany in the past, wanted to help us despite oil changes, it remains the call task, offered the state to ensure the security of its citizens. and if i to extend a warm welcome material, schmidt, a member of the german parliament from chancellor schultz, his social democratic party, he is also the spokes person on foreign affairs for the cd. now other democracies

have long had national security strategies. why hasn't taken so long? for germany to agree to it's very 1st well for many years coming from policy does not follow a hold of government abroad. and it was the arrival, the less active in the international arena. so there was no real need to have such kind office strategy. and we were satisfied with having some sector strategies relating to, to civilian a cooperation to civilian conflict prevention as diverse of life, bulk on defense. but it was necessary even before the start of process worth of expression against ukraine to have this comprehensive approach. this idea of integrated security, which is now the colonel of this new strategy. and so i'm very glad that this

government, that this trensler has adopted this strategy now. so what does this mean for germany's allies does this signal that for lynn is now ready to step into more of a leadership role as well? it has very clearly signals to our allies all commitment to need to, to do your pin union into the multi natural international order, which is very important. after the beginning of this type of law by russian, by rock shot in ukraine. it also gives our allies a strong commitment that germany is ready to engage in international diplomacy. but that it follows a very comprehensive report. meaning that we recognize the next us between not between climate change and security issues that we are also ready to step up our

efforts in the cyber defense issues that we also ready to take with a german domestic issue, a slight, the constitutional problems arising between the federal level and the state level when it comes to certain types of new high bridge, a threats to our national security. and tell me more about how sustainability fits into national security. what does the strategy for see their the val are aware of the effect that climate change i'm affects all of us and effects, especially continents like asia, africa and less in america. so this, the idea behind this strategy to reach out for partnerships with as many countries as possible in the global south to develop trust, energy transition partnerships,

meeting to help them to turn away from the full size of fuel from oil and gas, that's worth renewable energy and to help them to transform not only energy production, but also the whole of the economic life and transportation systems. we believe that this is an issue of international the quality which needs to be addressed right now on vitro. many can waiting with it's taking logic to take the policy and for the experience back home and looking again at a defense. this strategy also contains a pledge for germany to spend to 2 percent of g d, p on defense. this is not the huge changing of an error or exciting vendor that schultz promised after the full scale invasion of 2 cranes that was at as well as it repeats a commitment that was in not for non spite trends of folds more than one year ago.

it is not the, the, the replacement, the sites for a federal budget which will be debated this year later in autumn. but you can be assured allies can be assured of our commitment to this, to a present goal. since we have 100000000000 euro funds that is being spent right now by uh, by a buying a huge amounts of less than re, for example f 355 of the late plains, she know kelly comp does and so on. so this strategy is not about individual loan making, it's not about the but should this is still to be debated in voted by pollen and every single instance. but for the 1st time and the official government will document that rates. and fletcher is

a to this to percent go. i think this is also a very strong message to our nato allies that germany will follow up to this promise. thank you so much for joining us on dw news that isn't meal schmidt. i, law maker and spokesperson on foreign affairs for the social democratic party. many, thanks. i. this came out and keith says russia has attacked civilian targets in the southern city of odessa, killing at least 3 people and wounding more than a dozen others. ukrainian police had the overnight attack damaged or business center shops and a residential building in the city center. the regional administration says for russian muscles for launched from a ship and the black sea. 3 of them were intercepted before heading their targets and dw correspondent, they connolly earlier told us more about what happened to the people who had been hurt in the russian. this will strike. so we've heard from your thoughts is that

the remaining people who are injured in this attack and not believe to be in any critical medical situation, they're receiving treatment, but nothing is seemingly threatening their lives at this point, i think this really just underlines have wonderful industries on the black sea coast to those russian folks out seems like see pretty much constantly and as a, let's say it's a lot harder to protect the dresser. because basically with the radar will be at defense systems all ends based. and so they basically all between this and these russian ships and interesting to you, there was some comments for you. and just now from one of the present let's, these top officials thing that in every one of those russian christmas, although there were up to 44 and components. the real message here from cuba is that these sections of being implemented as they should and the rest is still capable of producing new weapons of this going to a real person. now for me to have to make sure that western countries do their best to make sure that rushes supply these michelle's where you drive out and make. i'd also like to ask you about the ukranian tutor offensive. we have data, the secretary general again,

stilton burr reporting that ukraine is making progress. what more can you tell us about that of the well, this is really difficult to get an objective kind of analysis full of the both sides, keeping very quiet ukrainians even trying to kind of imposing almost full blanket fan on coverage and on a miniature people giving interviews that has kind of crumbled in recent days. they basically realize that in the presence of other kind of information vacuum, these rushing out as well as being increasingly hood hearing you christ. they are giving some details. but it does seem like the village or 2 out of time, lots of west and technology being used, some being destroyed, or at least needing repair. but that was always expected. if you're going into a fence, you are a lot more vulnerable than if you're just trying to defend what you still hold onto . i think the big question here is all we can see one big kind of lead one real push, or is this going to be a tactic or tactics of kind of lots of small mosquito bites, trying to we can rest logistics, take enough people out, taking up people, prisoners, the rushes on me at some point might just collapse under the weight of those

attacks. i think that question hasn't really been altered yet, but there was a sense that this is now fully underway. ukraine still has more in the way of those western supplies to use and to put on the battlefield. but i think we're not. we're going to have a clear, a sense of the success of this sometimes come. this isn't just for this updates as our correspondent connolly, and keith says, we've heard ukraine continuing to say it's making progress with its counter offensive to retake territory captured by the russians. moscow rejects the claims alleging that keeps forces have suffered catastrophic losses. gooden fire made claims of victory as you cranes counter offensive gets under way and all that well the well the problem, kyle, we representatives of the 100 and 37th battalion of marine infantry and the 35th for gate of the marine infantry which is that the courts have liberated the village of montgomery if embedded in the region from russian troops to they won't be able

to retake this village. they are fine. rina's. you're going to hear with artillery motors and tags, but we will hold on glory to crane key saves. it's counter offensive, has read captured villages image on net skins, upper region regions. but the russian defense ministry released these pitches claiming that they had repelled counter offensive attacks by ukrainian false as president putin described opposition law says as close to catastrophic here. the shells, if you all, the bucks of the control rumbles on the city was one's home to 12000 people. for the few who remain here little information is guess some people use it. that means that admit that we don't have electricity. your internet is, you know,

you came here and told us that the culture offensive had already begun with a political to the fact that we were here walking around and wondering if it started. this doesn't really seem right to continue. the new teaching of ukraine saves it, has liberated as many as 7 villages on its front lines. 3 of them was the 3 days ago. the russian forces were still here. we change them out from this coach mia glory to a crane. this village was under russian occupation for one and a half years, but things are ukrainian lands to them though. that may be optimism over parts of games. but beneath the blue and yellow of ukraine's flag light, the bodies of those killed in the fight of the have some breaking news coming in. dozens of people have drowned after a boat carrying migrants. think off the coast of greece, the greek coast guard said they managed to rescue more than

a 100 people by mid day, the survivors and take him to the southern port city of kala. monta remains unclear how many people were on board from the vessel capsize some 80 kilometers off the great coast. authorities believe at least $59.00 may have ground making this one of the deadliest ship racks in the mediterranean this year. and have more of the story as we get more information on the united nations refugee agencies. as the number of displays, people worldwide hit a new record last year, the u. n. h c. ours is a 110000000 people were forced from their homes and rushes war on ukraine is the main reason for the rise. over $11000000.00 ukrainians floods the fighting last year. that's more than a quarter of the population. also, there are more ask on refugees living in iran, then previously thoughts. and the number of venezuelans crossing into columbia and peru has also been revised upwards. let's go to the us now

where former president donald trump has pleaded not guilty to criminal charges that he illegally kept top secret documents at his home in florida, he lashed out after a court appearance in miami, claiming he was the victim of a political which hans designed to stop him from becoming president again in 2024. and as the 1st time of president has been indicted in a federal case, trump could go to prison if found guilty, or the on the eve of his 77th birthday. donald trump, at a cuban restaurant in miami. are you ready for everyone? showing little sign he's feeling the pressure, despite the long list of charges against him. any of the atmosphere around his procession to court appeared more like a festival than a high stakes legal case with hundreds of funds waiting for a glimpse of the former president. recent polls put him well ahead of his rivals in

the race, but the republican party is presidential ticket with 81 percent of republican voters viewing the charges against him as politically motivated record of them is entertained with a just a wish on a game. a kind that are running for office. we come to show all the volatility. tomba sees the are both the prize. then on the tumble you go. totally unison. we're here to support the president trump, the real president. inside the court room with cameras or band, the former president sat silently and scowled in the face of dozens of federal criminal charges, including that he broke the espionage act by you legally stashing sensitive defense documents and lying to officials who tried to recover them. his lawyer entered a not guilty plea on his behalf. but as of late that from found his voice at a fundraising event at his new jersey golf course, again,

insisting he done nothing wrong. under the presidential records act, which is civil, not criminal, i have every right to have these documents, whatever documents or president decides to take with him, he has the right to do so. it's an absolute right. this is the law. and that is something that people have now seen and it couldn't be more clear, they were to drop this case and mediately it could now be a year or longer before trump's trial actually begins plenty of time to run puppies, come paying to retake the white house that's bring you up to speed now with some other world news headlines, at least 2 soldiers have been killed in a shooting at a japanese army base. police say an 18 year old recruit opened fire at other soldiers during a training exercise at a firing range. the suspect has been arrested and authorities say they are looking into his motive. thousands of people have fled communities close to my young

volcano in the philippines as it continues to erupt. it for dan, admitting ashton lava from its crater several days ago. authorities are warning of factories, but they may not be able to return to their homes for months. around the president of the human i you see has we're going to where to point a tour of latin america. a venezuela. he signed cooperation agreements with liter nicholas, my daughter, claiming declaring that both countries have common interests, as well as common enemies of guys. his schedule also includes visits to new corolla and cuba. well, you lawmakers have agreed to changes in draft artificial intelligence roles proposed by the european commission. the aim is to set a global standard for technology use for everything from automated factories to self driving cars to chat boxes. the law makers will now have to rush out details with you countries before the drop rolls become legislation. most agree that rules

are essential, but there's some disagreements on how strict they should be. evidence that whenever computers do jobs that previously required human intelligence, we speak of artificial intelligence. i crops up and many phones. from the algorithms that decide what we see on social media to programs we use to generate text or images or software that helps doctors to spot cancer and x rays. but it can also be used to supercharge this information online, or enables surveillance on an unprecedented level. so many countries are looking to regulate artificial intelligence. europe is leading the way. there are fundamentally 2 sides to the debate. many developers are concerned about having too much regulation. we need to make sure that'd be done overrides related right now, because that will hinder innovation. so awesome as was to help found the german, hey i association, which represents some 400 companies. i is never good about the same algorithm can

be used to those type of offer as well as to cancer detection. so it's all about what does the use case? the eyes use for and who is using a lot of innovation comes from small startups. and so the more regulation we put, the less the innovation with see from the small companies. but while the opportunities of a i a vast. so with the risks, and that's the other side of the debate. digital rights advocates want to talk rules to mitigate the risks is artificial intelligence, machine learning, and all these. let's a complex complex algorithms and data sets. are jeff placate the biases? that's the humans have a systems using recruitment, for example, have been shown to be biased against women. facial recognition technology has been proven to be less accurate for people of color with people being arrested for crimes. they never committed,

and algorithms used to by public authorities have wrongly accused thousands of families of welfare fraud. so you don't make is a seeking to balance both sides of the argument, their answer regulate a systems according to their level of risk when the risk so limited, like when a high is used to fill the emails for spam, only a few rules apply. but for potentially life changing applications like deciding which students qualify for higher education, the rules will be strict to some applications will be parents completely. the a mr. reap the benefits of a i while limiting it's risks. so for more on one of the biggest questions of our time, i'd like to bring any younger debit card data. we use chief technology correspondent joining us today from berlin. yano. tell us, what are you lawmakers main concerns when it comes to a i or well, we've just seen it in the little film has become a part of virtually every aspect of our life. and that comes with great,

vast benefits. but it also comes with great risks, and we've seen that over the past couple of years again and again, i systems have been shown to replicate biases and discrimination from the real world. and these risks a real and they have an impact on the lives of people. and the job of lawmakers now is to mitigate those risk. and that's really the key idea at the core of this a i x here in europe. and how realistic is it that governments really can control a eyes develop? i mean, can they pass legislation that will slow it or contain it's just, i mean, of course they can at least to a certain degree. i think it's important to stress, but the technology isn't good or bad. technology is made by humans. it's made by a developers, by companies. and they develop that technology with a certain purpose in mind with. and you know, they,

along the way they called their values into the technology and of course you can come up with rules for what's ok to do and what, what isn't okay to do. now it gets a little trickier because along the way, you also want to make sure that those rules and regulations won't kill innovation, but adult him that the development of a i that's put to good use. and that really is the great challenge now. yeah, is that really our risk here? that is, after all the criticism i'm saying you plans could actually harm rather than encourage innovation. i mean it's at least a great concern. among many answer printers here in europe, we just saw one of them in the film. i've talked to several of us over the last couple of years and they are all really worried that this regulation will leave too much uncertainty. and uncertainty is always bad for innovation. you know, and another thing that they say, and i think that's also important to keep in mind,

is that a few of these rules will hit their startups at small and mid sized business in general, particularly hard. you know, the big tech companies. they all have hundreds of lawyers to make sure they comply with these regulations, but startups and operate 1st month. but it's much fewer resources and lawmakers in process basically they're aware of this. they want to address this. they want to create so called sandbox environments where start ups and smaller companies do not have to comply with that and many regulations as they experiment. but the technology, but if that's going to work is still left to be seen in a i is developing at a mind boggling pays. no one really knows where this is going to end up. once regulations are ready to be put into practice, won't it be too late for where we've ended up in terms of the tech? so i think you're right and i think that's an important point. you know,

these last that were debated yesterday and are, are voted on today and that you can call them and they will only become hard loss at the earliest next year. but much more likely if it's going to happen at 2025 or even a year later in 2026. and of course technology will continue to advance over those years. so there is a risk that this regulation will already be outdated once it becomes hard law. and you know, i think that's why it's really important that these rules need to be work in progress if you will, that lawmakers will continue to adapt them as technology advances over the next coming years. well thank you so much for bringing us up to speed there at that. is it data? the chief technology correspondent, alcohol and drug or crises don't typically include burns. but in slovakia, $200.00 swans have been raising on a poppy field for months now. and it's left many of them addicted,

and others have even died. it's also caused at tens of thousands of years of losses for slovak and farmers and intervention. to rescue these swans from themselves. after the birds go to taste for puppies. only so the heat, the thing will be they are dehydrated and this ones lose muscle mass. and then they just crawl on the ground. hundreds of swans 1st arrived in february when heavy rain formed a lake in the field. they have since returned over and over again. droned the addictive puppies. some of the swans became so high, they couldn't fly or even walk swans or a protected species in slovakia. and it took full months to gain permission to remove them. bull. but we assume they would just fly away, but they didn't like, you know, it's a rear case in slovakia, so we didn't have any experience as you hopefully will be smarter in the future.

conservationist. so i've taken the swans to a channel far away from the puppy field, where they going cold turkey, as they so brought store, wishing them all the best. that is your news update at this hour coming up. after a short break, you can catch made in germany. it's asking whether cash trinity abolished. i'm quite richardson in berlin for me in the whole team here working behind the scenes . thank you so much for joining us. the

is germany becoming irrelevant? doing business in the country has become more and more unattractive. due to cumbersome, huron, and high taxes, inflated energy costs, and labor shortages are only making things worse. germany and beacon nomic

powerhouse no more made in germany. or you know, a human kind change right in south africa. more of our ancestors. lots of can be found here. think anywhere else on earth research it and joe's they probably got asked the question when, but more importantly, why did human beings come into existence? the answer is a scientific breakthrough in 45 minutes on dw, the journalism listen, overcoming divisions for the dw global media on 2023 in

germany, and online the increasingly fragmented world with a growing number of voices digital amplified where this clutter can lead. we really need overcoming divisions and a vision for tomorrow's journalism register now and join us for this discussion at the 16th edition of d w's global media forum. the global challenges are forcing economies to vote quickly while increasingly leaving businesses and wouldn't.
