on the when russia invited you trade last year, germany is that look on the world changed overnight return of war in europe, expose the folly of massive defense cots following the end of the cold war. well, today that you have a government presented, the country is 1st, have a national security strategy, checking on it, if it strategic ambivalence, germany and now how spaced out a blueprint for, for defining its place, animal hostile world. and he'll go in by name. and this is the day the cheapest for rushes, aggressive action, show us that no country, not even germany, can be neutral when it comes to questions of warranties. right? and wrong theory has done exceptionally well with what i used to call strategic

ambivalence and says title the changes. it remains the central task of the state to ensure the security of good citizens without compromise. jeremy then all we sort of hedged its role based on what others were doing. that means security is not just a matter of a defense ministry and an interior ministry, but it's also about how it is, for example, energy. because without security, that can be no freedom, no stability, and no prosperity. also coming up to a you moves closer to regulating artificial intelligence, we can look at the benefits of the pitfalls of trying to control this technology is never good or bad. the same i read them can be used to boost type of offer as well as do cancer detection. so it's all about what does the use case, the eyes use for and who is using at the welcome to the day. now germany hasn't failed its 1st national security strategy. yes,

in the making and accelerated following brushes invasion of ukraine. it includes more money for the military. i'm fulfilling the previous commitments on defense spending made students nato allies. documents has flashed out and i've been structured to the historic turning point, the sites and vendor announced by chance on the shelves last year in the aftermath of the russian invasion. it's also a strategy for preparing the german society for potential conflicts and making the country more resilient. the day of his target 1st in centreville, in chancellor schultz and 4 of his most important ministers facing the press together. and on the table, the long wait, it's very 1st national security strategy. it comes at a time when the global security environment is especially tense, with restaurants bore on retrain and heightened to political, to rivalry between china and the us and says title that changes. it remains the central task of the state to ensure the security of good citizens without

compromise. because without security, that can be no freedom, no stability, and no prosperity. and these days that means small then safety and the conventional sense security must be defined much more broadly at a german 4 administer and the bulk july, the model is a lot of charity in the 21st century means that pharmacies can reliably supply essential medicine, security means that we can chat with our friends on line without being spied on by china, and without being manipulated by russian bots. when we scroll through social networks, sufficient. hi, begin the clarity. also sorry for each of us every morning when we take a shower. mrs. out with clean, hot water, knowing that it's quality has been check guides, dusting funny to it. it might be the proof of it. but there's also a commitment to security and the more traditional offense. one very concrete example, the insurance that germany is striving to meet nato's 2 percent defense spending

target. besides this 5 percent means 2 percent is a long term goal, either attributed to sling by 2 other decisions, we have made an asset to the fine and send defense ministers from is that the german military can rely on this for the planning of the document. also takes up the issue of china. the strategy paper refers to it as a competitor and says, tammy griver. at the same time, it acknowledges the agents, superpower remains a pop. now, without whom many global challenges and crises can not be resolved by didn't scar, we clearly see the world completely differently when it comes to the rule of law, human rights and democracy conflict. but when we think of the finding the climate crisis, which is the greatest security threat in terms of sustainability, that we must define security in terms of our livelihoods there. we definitely have common ground with china after decades and which external threats seemed far away

in germany. profit it from a globalized economy, that has been a rude awakening. the country's 1st security strategy is a step towards addressing the realities of a new era. ok, let's take a closer look at basically the rough al bus home from the gym and introduce of international and security effects. welcome to the w. what does having a national security strategy now allow me to do that? it wasn't already doing well, that's a good question. i mean, that haven't, we've actually any really concrete resource commitments yet in this kind of strategy, it is a 1st and foremost, a dual credit exercise, trying to coordinate various ministries to different policies. but they have a common understanding under they actually talk more to each other. but one of the original ideas was to have a new also institutional structure and national security council. and that wasn't possible for a whole number of reasons. so we, we don't know yet actually what will be the sort of actual outcome of this kind of

discussion so far. okay. we'll talk about defense cuz obviously that's all about as a bib. secure say, but this is a strategy that goes beyond defense. but what we'll stop there, we'll start with this based commitment to spending 2 percent of g d, p on defense. the 2nd commitment that has been made and massage so many times before even got to the days of the former chancellor and coming back. oh, so what should germany's allies take from this latest commitment to, to this, to present mock versus being there for so long? well, i mean basically it's just trying to say we're still believing and it's, and we have to show, hopefully in the years time that we're getting better at closing in the target. and of course, the whole context now is different so that there was after the famous type and then to speech more perspective to reaching that target. but we're still far off. so yes, as you rightly say, it's been a target has been around for

a long time. i don't think the strategy makes it in itself a difference to reaching it, but it contributes to this kind of friends that yes, germany is a slow moving tanker. but it is moving, you talked about that the very fact that there was this idea of a national security council which has been loss. uh, it's interesting because who then drives this, who make sure the different departments control by different parts of this country's fractures governing coalition. who make sure they don't chip away the bits they don't like or, or increase the bits that they think of being overload 12. this is the exec why it took so long to get this strategy passed. i mean, this is actually already half of your late, at least and well, of course in the end the power lies with the chancellor and the chancellor free. and in technical terms, there is a national security council in germany, but it doesn't fulfill the function that say the west council does. because technically, at the moment it's only something doing with arms x force and very narrow mondays.

i'm so a sweeping national security council that really has this power to coordinate to really set the direction that has been missing and it hasn't been instituted because the for an office and the child, so they couldn't really agree on who has the final say so. so yes, that was really the child's lives, the power. but there is still this kind of paula play between policies and ministries and that's why we haven't gone there. so it's already starting to sound like it could go off the rails quite quickly. i'm away from defense distresses you type thing, things like that. strengthening society to face challenges like cyber threats and climate change. how well, i mean, i think taking what i just said, also in a positive light. i mean, yes, of course the has the bureaucracy kind of in fighting to some extent, but on the other hand, they have come together on issues. and now there really is this kind of common narrative that is security has to be thought as an integrated whole. but these different elements actually sort of influence each other and that we cannot

continue in silos only. and, and so in that sense, yes, it's not good enough to only have a military strategy. i have a cyber security strategy. have somebody on, you know, is i'm a change, but we have to bring together any more sustained, coherent approach. um, so as i said, i think it is the start of the journey. we don't have everything we wanted, but it can be a chance for something better in the future. this is, this is, i'm hearing a phrase from almost my childhood from 20 years ago from tony blast, the british government talking about time joined up governments, which is what this very much the sounds like. china, where is china in is germany's most important export market. and of course, a rising ministry about when it's mentioned quite permanently on some, in the one hand, the strategy repeats the actually, or again quite dated. so the phrase, which is also used the level china as a partner as a competitor and arrival. so trying to say, well, of course, some issues, we still need to call breakfast china in particular on climate change out of the

same time when economic competitor and increasing the unfortunately will also rival on various value issues. and also potentially, ultimately i'm going to 3 questions. um so, so let's try as a, there's this idea that we can balance this, that we don't have to go into full out confrontation that we want to have also partnership. but as a tens relationship, and we are still a voice here, separate china strategy, which is coming in early july and the will be a summit in german china summit also so that we'll, we'll devise on that and see how that actually kind of plays out. it's very clear, thank you so much for outlining for us at rafael. bustling from the german institute of international and security of your, of your empowerment has approved the draft rules governing artificial intelligence . automated proposals will now go to member states for negotiation and agreement. game is to set a global standard for technology used in everything from factors to self driving

costs and chatbox. most agree that the rules are essential, is deficient over how strict they should be. whenever computers through 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 let me the countries are looking to regulate artificial intelligence. europe is leading the way. there are fundamentally 2 sides to the debate. many i, our developers are concerned about having too much regulation. we need to make sure that we don't over regulate right now because that will hinder innovation as awesome as water that helps found the german, hey i association, which represents some 400 companies,

is never good about the same algorithm can be used to boost 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 of and 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 top rules to mitigate the risks, the artificial intelligence, machine learning, and all these. let's a complex complex algorithms and data sets. are jeff, placate the biases, that's v. 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 go make is a seeking to balance both sides of the argument, their answer regulate a our 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 benz completely. the aim is to reap the benefits of a i while limiting its risks. let's look at the x rays that are calculating the molar who's president and co founder of allied as a group working full responsible i. he's also a member of your opinion commissions that height is f o x, but group on artificial intelligence. welcome to dw. so we're still a long way, i think from this actually becoming legislation. but looking at where we all know

how is the, how these proposals likely to work, we'll just start with your 1st remark. we're still in a way, we're not that long a way from assign old and a final text if we believe the cobra because of the european parliament. and today they mentioned that they want to have a final text by the end of this year, november. then there are of course, will be increase period, but they also mentioned that the grace period will likely be to use, but they also mentioned that for certain applications and certain systems decrease period might even be shorter than that because of the latest developments. okay, that's interesting. is that because the i has exploded, this technology has exploded over the last, let's say 1st, last 6 months or so. and he's got speed and speeding and speed you 2 months from now. the landscape is going to look completely different. sorry,

2 years from now. this is, yeah, probably the landscape is going to be is going to do different what we see with the latest developments, like you mentioned, for example, chattahoochee and mit your ne, i'm to generative ai systems. is that the challenge is that they bring are not that different from the challenges that we have seen over the past couple of years. they are larger in scale, but they're not that different. they have the same challenges regarding bias. they have the same challenges and risk regarding the impact on fundamental rights misinformation just information of scale and a safety, etc. so we, there might be different and systems coming up in the coming years. the challenges might not be that different. and on the other hand, if the,

if the challenges are really different, then the act will have mechanism, some place to quickly adapt the rules to those changes and to those developments. so it's a quite flexible regulation. it is, it is future prove if you will, right, which is what kind of need pendleton to go to need fairly heavy penalties. because when you look at what these the systems can do. now when you look at the misinformation at the site, 3, the sort of people who will do this in the 1st place, i'm not going to be the sort of people who will say, oh, well the you now has a lower against this. so i'm going to stop, so it needs enforcements and it needs punishment. it needs property. yes. and there is, there is quite some teeth in it. um there are quite have defines in the uh, in the dropped a i x they, they range from. i think 10000000 to 40000000 for a breach of the

a i act and the so there's a, there are quite some teeth already in the x and, and there will be a structure of supervisors that will be mobilized to, to see if the, if the act is live done by organizations and there's also if the parliament gets this way, there's also an interesting new possibilities for, for people, for citizens to go to a supervisor with a complaint to issue a complaint with the supervisors. sort of the whistle blowing, if you will, to say, look, there is in the system in play and i think that it is not doing really well. could you have a look at that? right. it's interesting that but from what you've said, and i appreciate the visual be legislation, there's hundreds of pages. there's not thousands of pages long, but this is aimed at corporate structures. but if you are a bad actor,

if you are acting on behalf of a malign state, i'm what's good is being find because you're not going to pay that disease, is this the will be as low as carry jail time. and they won't carry to time. no, so it's the laser smile, but i'm thinking that, you know, if i'm running a, i don't know, i'm a russian troll factory, but it's money, but it's manufacturing. jo biden's going back to me saying, all sorts of horrible things you saying? well, we will find you millions if we can catch you. that's not going to stop me. i know, but we always have the front of the right place. people were not willing to abide by legislation that we have for this role. there is a, there's no going to be, there's not going to be jail time in this little, but it might be in the future that we will move towards

a structured that would include also jill time. we will have to see, but this little does nothing to that yet. thank you for to have. so that's the catalina mill, the president of ally. thank you. you're welcome bye or to he's presidents as nato should not bet on him. approving swedish membership of the ministry alliance before july's nato summit. the jeep type of the ones that these countries out to do, to sweden's the accession, was not positive. sweden hasn't yet fully addressed to secure the consent. to accuse this waiting the bank to legions towards the militant cottage groups. as comments comes, officials from nato, sweden, finland an anchor mac in correct to address to his consent, the secretary general against ultimate success some progress has been made. so for instance, this week, the new announcements over the next edition of the person elected to the p k. k.

again, this is good for the fight against terrorism, but also good for sweetness efforts to find the organized crime is read because these groups i want video links to the same people collecting oregon's crime in, in, in sweden, that are responsible for the types of options in the in the, in seen in judy as a non resident senior fellow at the foundation for the defense of democracies as an export on turkish domestic politics and foreign policy. a welcome to the w, a default the recent tax presidential election. people were 2nd president owed one was blocking swedish entry tonight. so to boost easy election prospects while he won. so what do you think the hold up still is? so that's what a lot of people are wondering right now. um, that's what this government is making notes the secret by saying that the swedish government is not helping. and so by producing more p k, k process to avoid and being continuing to be represent on extra died seeing

a number of individuals that are supposedly or allegedly affiliated with the p k k . but it also coincides with the p k. k itself, unilaterally declaring that it will be ending in cease fire, which is temporarily put in place during the course of february. so there's a whole confidence of things going on. but at this point, i don't expect at least up until the summit of alternate. so coming out for turkey to ratify, so perhaps i would want to explain it to once again, playing a game that uh wants to keep everybody guessing what it does. is it starting to look like in order to move this forward? this is going to be on sweden to decide how much it's willing to compromise itself morally, in order to achieve its nature membership. because that's exactly it. so look, you know, sweden has brought protection for association on individual freedoms, so long as they don't finance. and so it is basic, he said that's not good enough,

but we, we want you to take action. it said to stop these little p k. k. sort of a process going on with slacks lying around on some projects down to this, which part of the building. we also want you to expedite people back to, to keep the basic me without any to process. if we are to say yes, that's essentially the position that's working that line. and it's also position that basically size, despite the amount of pressure being put on, i have to run by nato officials as well as united states, right device when there is not as heard, any rush that he's kind of comfortable just waiting this out. um, you know, there is a side of me which things that he may have enjoy this out even further beyond the beyond the somebody if he doesn't approve it. basically, until the little collections of, of, of may 2024 because i don't want to is interested in winning these local actions. took his big cities like a stumble anchor, a search right from the opposition hands. and he's not going to be able to do that by essentially was sending an economic message. the voters will bind to simply

because, you know, took these interest rates are about to go up. i know 30 minutes is about to come in . so either one could continue to use the sort of running around the 5 method if he wants to attract later support, but we'll have to see. so this, i appreciate the speculation, but this could be the one thing he can still hold onto just a little look, this is me defending turkeys interest. so if you look at the other sides of that equation then and look at the sweet and could it be that sweet and then doesn't join nature, but instead just science, a series of a bilateral mutual defense agreements. so i think that's a scenario to sweden, which is to avoid and understand to be so i mean look, you know, it is understand to be worried and you know, does not want to be on the these, this crosses or the gluten government, bearing down upon it particularly because it is, you know, it's all basic barriers for succession to nato has been sort of pushed past with the exception of the circle check. we have sense to its membership. so it's, it is, it is a fixation. it is

a focus of swings attention. it was not wants to settle for that. and also there will be a considerable amount of pressure to be added to manufacturing, being private, searcy by united states and other western government. but also 13 wishes to acquire new pfizer plains from the united states. and part of the condition, even though it's not on a personal condition, will be that without it took except to english membership. this really plays well with are these domestic a position as well as terms who live in europe. you know, terms basically look at, i don't want to say look, well, you know, he defends are on, are all the integrity and the, and the, the image authority visa view west and sort of in positions. and they kind of like that. so he doesn't really and i sort of have that much to lose in short time, but he would like to get his hands on some of these new defense acquisitions as soon as possible. that's very clear. thank you for outlining that for assessing and judy of the foundation for the defense of democracies. thank a the next the time the quick line of football proceed. dormant has confirmed the deposit of stein mid field that

you'd better go after months of speculation about his future. he'll join spanish johns around the trade. binding them quickly became a fun favorite endorsement. after arriving in 2020 from his boyhood club bmw city. of to narrow the missing out on the bones as big a title on that last davis. the final season in germany. bellingham is now headed to madrid for an initial fee of around a $103.00 medium euros, rising to potential $130000000.00, subject to performance based bonuses, being things and international still just 19 years of age were old and their own business. the day is almost done, the conversation can continue online. what on that social media at cdw you have a good day the

enter the conflicts own with sarah kelly. after months of speculation, the long anticipating ukrainian counter offensive appears to be under way. my guess this week on complex own is ukrainian deputy prime minister, all the stuff in need to know who overseas ukraine's integration into the un nato. what more does she need from partners to future proof to christ sent conflicts? on d w. one small step for a robot vacuum,

one giant leap for exploiting the ocean floor. but this time, a research team will study the possible risk 1st. in order to minimize them, we have an opportunity to get it right before we even start. is this true nature conservation, or only green washing? deep sea creek, the 45 minutes on dw, the guardians of the truth. i have paid almost every price of being mutual in the country like to keep taking on the powers that be the risk. everything turned into our needs, activists, journalists, and politicians,

living in exile. they would have to check the list for their mission. what drives them? people need to know what is happening. there were series guardians of truth watch now on youtube, dw documentary after months of speculation, to long anticipated ukrainian counter offensive appears to be under way. what will count as victory and on what time table could targets extend as far as russian occupied crimea? my guess this week on complex known as ukrainian deputy prime minister, all the stuff you need to know who overseas ukraine's integration into the when nato we have.
