the the, this is, do you have any news why that from berlin tonight, america's top diplomat ends as closely watched visit to china with an unscheduled meeting with chinese president. she's in pain. both men agreeing that by level relations need to improve, but they disagree on how also going to get to know i china is premier, is here in berlin,

hoping to restart towards on closer economic and business ties with germany and artificial intelligence on the battlefield. we'll take a look at how a i, drones and robots could be changing modern warfare and helping ukraine's military. the i'm breaking off is good to have you with this, we start the week with the us secretary of state entity blinking, wrapping up a 2 day visit and showing it is mission to stop the freefall and relations between washington and beijing. cut off and blinking on monday, met with chinese president, change in ping, who called on him to make more positive contributions to stabilizing the relationship. economic and trade ties or fro submitted us concerns over china's human rights record, and it's closely with russia. so this was the 1st visit in the us secretary of

state and china. in 5 years i saw that neither country wants divisions to widen. here is mister blinking speaking after his meeting with the chinese presents i came to beijing to strength of high level challenge of communication. to make clear our positions and intentions and areas of disagreement. and those 4 areas where we might work together, what our interest aligned on shared trans national challenges. and we did all of that. all right, let's get out of washington. bureau chief is both. he's been following this meeting for us. it's good to see you. what did anthony blinking, what does he hope to achieve with this trip? by brent the biggest headline here is really they met and they talked with each other and that definitely made the world a little less on swords and then less dangerous. and that was something a blinking one to, to accomplish it was anything but

a given that the 2 leaders to meet in person. as you just mentioned, the relations between, between building and washington have really soward over terms trade wall buildings sort of claims over taiwan and the shooting donovan, the alleged chinese bible noon over the us earlier this year. we have been talking about that. you'll remember that, i'm sure, so the fact that presidents, she decided to meet with anthony clinton, who is not the president of the united states, only the secretary of state kind of underlines how serious she is taking. the current situation is, let's take a listen right now. to what the us secretary of state had to say about one of the big bone of contention between the 2 countries. and of course that is taiwan. raised us concerns shared by a growing number of countries about the p. r. c's provocative actions in the taiwan strait as well as in the south and he's trying to seize on. so i want, i reiterated the longstanding u. s. one china policy that policy has not changed. it's guided by the taiwan

relations act, 3 joint communiques, the 6 assurances we do not support, so i want independence. we were made opposed to any unilateral changes to this as quote by either side. we continue to expect the peaceful resolution of prostrate differences. arnie is less flushed out a little bit and clarify with american talks about it's one china policy. and when showing that talks about it's one showing the policy, but not talking about the same thing or the yes and no. so the one china policy is a diplomatic principle. i think that's important, kind of to be aware of the knowledge, the people's republic of china as the sole, legitimate government of china. and that is something the us does. there is no disagreement here between the 2 countries. the united states did not, however, give in to a chinese demands that it's recognized. china is southern and t over at taiwan. so

there is a business like the big a fighting point. and the united states reserve the right to maintain an official relations with taiwan. a blinking uh, stress that and things and also reiterated to in the press conference uh that us does not support taiwan independence. so it kind of stated that it does not wish to change the state of school in neither direction in a few hours before blinking made that statement, showing his top diplomat wong. he was quoted as saying that the us is faced with a choice between cooperation and conflict. so as i'm wondering, does that mean that what we heard from the us secretary of state today, is that mean that he has helped to maybe avert further conflict over to i want the road. both countries, frontier as in china,

has lots to stabilize the 10s relationship about this. the top us diplomats, the blinking, made clear that there remain major differences. one concern buys and talked about during the press conference is the worry that private chinese companies will promote a provide material in the technology that must cause military could use in ukraine . that's also a huge conflict here. drones could be an example. it's interesting that blinking didn't blame the chinese government in providing weapons to the russian army a but private companies. but friends, we all know it is an open secret that president, she easily could stop private companies to co operate a this russia. so i'm sure we will hear much more about this topic over the next weeks and months. our washington bureau chief, he just spoke with the ladies tonight. edith, as always, thank you. us with united states is not the only country are reaching out to

beijing. german leaders have rolled out the red carpet for lead shot. he was making his 1st born trip since becoming chinese premier. last week, berlin published its 1st ever national security strategy, which described in china as a partner and a systemic rival. despite this, the economies of these 2 major ex borders there. intertwined. as our chief international editor, richard walker reports the big day in lin schultz and a gaggle of his talk ministers on failing germany's new national security strategy . that message, the world is getting more dangerous in germany, needs to respond to me as much for the 1st time in our country's history, we have thrown up and national security strategy. thoughts on the rushes invasion of ukraine was a huge shock to the system for germany. but there's another shop, the shaking the political class here in bowling,

just as much would show fits not quite. so something with this so big that it will soon get a strategy paper. all of it. so this one is all about china. she, jim, paying his stuff by vladimir putin despite the war. and man, he's cooled, his best friend. if i'm missing the getting closer and this is driving home some hard realities about she's china. he's double down. no, no 3rd, terry and power. repricing freedoms and home comb and minority rights. and she and jane is threatening to attack taiwan and assessing military dominance of the south. china sea and dangerous medium misses in the region of adding to fears of war between china and the united states. germany's most important ally, germany is not alone in wiring of idle affairs. who will makes it even harder? you said jeremy got in so deep with china in the last decade in the hospital. so

the 2 sides built an incredibly close, almost symbiotic relationship. now the cracks of showing, showing that became germany's top trading pond for years in a row. but the pen demik showed that supply chains could break down and a crisis german car companies became addicted to china is exploding markets. now showing these rifles, the threatening to beat them and electric cause chinese tech got stuck into sensitive gem and infrastructure now that seen as a security risk. one of this present spelling with some really tough di lemme is about how to rethink the relationship with china and inside the government. here, there are different views. here's a case in point. china is states and shipping john costco, for to stay can a terminal in the handbook hub, germany's most important port,

a foreign minister and the bad luck, and vice chancellor robot. how big, what adamantly against saying this would give china too much sway of a critical infrastructure. but while i've sold over volt them, it says chancellor, the us, he's keen to riley it's allies to accommodate approach to the source of decisions. and at the g 7 summit this year, they all agreed they should de risk that relations with badging. the step back from the, the coupling the most who case voices were cooling for. but what's a risk and what's not a risk? well, that's open to interpretation. the indications are that a lot celts has a fairly narrow definition of what the risking is. i think for him it's mainly about reducing dependencies, ensuring that supply chains are resilient. i think the, the message from the chance to re so far has been that they don't want to rock

the boat. i think germany is going through some difficult economic times. and there isn't a great deal of appetite for uh uh for confronting china. schultz tried to work this line on his 1st trip to badging late last year. speaking now it's about tensions in the relationship well stressing the need to cooperate on global issues like climate change and mingled among the diplomats. he brought a squad of gem and ceos with him to, to business. if a more now i, when i bring in gideon since she's a member of the germans on discharged parliament and she's with the free democrats, that's one of the parties that's in the governing coalition. here in the federal government missions and it's good to have you with this. if i'm hearing correctly, what the chancellor by his government is trying to do, it sounds like germany is trying to have it both ways have china not only as a g, a political arrival, but also as an important export market. is that gonna work?

i think that is one of the biggest question there is i think the us for the us, the same question arises. i think when it comes to the consultations that are starting tomorrow on an official level, we need a strong european voice in those german chinese consultations. and then on the other hand, obviously it is all about the risking and still staying in contact with china. can you see similarities in germany's approach to china and germany's approach to russia? maybe miss misguided expectations about how things would develop. because now you are faced with the situation as wouldn't russia, where you have a g, a political situation that may be going against the values that germany says it represents. when i see you comparing the situation we had regarding

dependencies on fossil energies with regard to russia, it is not comparable to china because the, the situation with china. and um, lets say um dependencies but um, and also uh, the exchanges. we uh, we face their uh, much more complex. that's why it is also more complex to talk to china because it is in our interest to stay in contact to be on good terms with china. on the one hand side, i'd be very outspoken on the other hand, when it comes to the abiding by international contracts abiding by the rule of law . and that's what these um discussions that are in place um make it so difficult to um, to be outspoken with china. but i think this is the question that politics need to conquer. it's like trying to square a circle in many ways. is it possible for germany to have

a values based foreign policy dealing with china? i mean, what would be your advice into the foreign minister? and i think the thing that china and the people's republic and the communist party fear is most is when democracies work together. so my approach would be, and my advice to the government would be to speak with not only a german voice, but rather would say europe and voice. and that's why i think it would be more necessary than ever to bring the ruling leaders from the european countries in one circle. because the alliance of democracy is something that china needs to the needs to talk to. and he also needs to assess when it comes to consult patients in the future. so it's not only about german consultations and this week, but rather with a european standpoint,

with so much at stake in relations between china and the united states. can germany, realistically a candidate avoid getting involved or, or attempting to maintain a neutral stance. we are not neutral when it comes to the rule of law and the abiding by international contract. so, um it is in our, um, most opinion that um, the situation in taiwan should be, should be solved on, in a, in a, not in a, in a war dragging manner as uh, as china. um, sometimes it to rates that and um we need to focus on that all the more and its about democracies standing together even in these difficult times during probably material ingredients and from the free democratic party. we see that we appreciate your time and your insights tonight. thank you. thank you. school officials

say sign palestinians have been killed in an hours long class with his really forces in the west bank. the incident began with a rate of the refugee camp in the city of jeanine and it ended with air strikes a rare occurrence. and these really occupied territory over 90 palestinians. and 8 is really solved as were also injured. and is really raid in the west bank met with fierce resistance. armoured vehicles carried is really troops into a refugee camp in the city of jeanine, in search of 2 suspects. the soldiers faced an armed counter attack from palestinian fighters. the palestinian prime minister defended their actions national worship, and we and our people will confront these attacks. and this occupation must become costly for israel's light as seems of chaos were recorded by journalists on the ground as they sought shelter. one journalist

was rushed into an ambulance with an injured setting. the hours long clashes left several palestinians dead including this 15 year old boy in a rare move is real deployed apache attack helicopters, reportedly targeting gunman. it, it was the 1st air strike on the use really occupied westbank in almost 2 decades. israeli soldiers were also wounded in the fighting. several of them air lifted the safety. israel's prime minister benjamin netanyahu visited the wounded at a hospital in haifa and said the rate had targeted terrorist and almost came back to all about smiled. we are fighting terror with strength and firmness. in recent months. we eliminated and arrested a record number of terrorist. that's what happened and then operation, and then jeanine area with our forces killed some terrorist company interested

others. they were facing an ambush and active extraordinarily well a little bit. so, i mean, the class has lasted nearly 10 hours, according to witnesses. when the gunshots died down the streets filled with the sounds of morning as funeral processions passed by part, let's take a look down some of the other stories that are making headlines around the world. lawmakers in britain are debating and official inquiry that failed. the former prime minister boris johnson lied the parliament about parties that were held during the code with 19 locked down. johnson gave up his seat in parliament when the findings were announced. members are expected to back the inquiry and to block johnson's future access to the parliamentary estate, to the guild, russian opposition leader alexis of all that he has gone on trial. yet again, this time on extremism charges that can see him in prison for decades. this trial is taking place at a maximum security prison, where the kremlin critic is already serving a 9 year sentence for alleged fraud. investigators now accused him of creating and

financing an extremist great. nothing ukraine which says that it has deliberated 8 settlements since it's counter offensive begin. earlier this month, the russian installed official has made a rear admission that ukrainian forces recaptured the southern village of p. i to talk to. meanwhile, mikhail says that its soldiers have repelled ukrainian. advances in the countries east. both sides are suffering heavy casualties in the fighting debts according to british intelligence. alongside the war on the ground in ukraine, a parallel digital conflict is the so called wizard. more is seeing ukrainians harness the power of droned. robin robots in more, and it's private and us companies at the cutting edge of tech that are supplying the latest software to help on the battlefield. we have this look now we're at how artificial intelligence is making its way into modern warfare. this

is a high tech robotics unit, ukrainian soldiers and volunteers who signed up last year via twitter. their workshop is this basement for the minor wizards of the wizard, war or the same as well. they might, as it used to tune is engaged in reconnaissance with the help of quad comforters and recognizance with the help of wings. we also deal with drops improvised explosive devices and ground, and eric dragged around the bush front. ukraine has now for months, had access to much more than its own soldiers. ingenuity us based commercial firms like palin tier, provide a range of battlefield intelligence services based largely on satellite imagery. the soldiers in the field can use mobile units, assisted by artificial intelligence tools to let them know what the enemy is doing before the enemy knows what they're doing. that allows ukrainians to target enemy

forces they couldn't otherwise see. the computer systems learn from each mistake. also known as machine learning, a key part of artificial intelligence development contained in so is it a, uh, an action on the battlefield? and i think the trouble begins with the term a, i mean what is a i, we know that the goal posts with which we define what a i is constantly moving. what i would say is that for sure, we have seen some very, very interesting innovative. you know, things happening in ukraine with regard to using software and using modern communications infrastructure for surveillance, intelligence and especially also targeting purposes. so you know, the kill chain, which means basically the amount of time that you have between detecting a possible target and then engaging the target and trying to destroy it. that has, you know, been sped up considerably on the retaining side because they're just so smart with

regard to using, for instance, drones and using smartphones and using other devices. and that, you know, they, you know, were able to, you know, think there's an amount of time to, to, you know, mere seconds. whereas the rush of steel takes a long time with that targeting and with detecting targets and then engaging them well. and yet, much of what the world sees is pictures like this artillery tools that seem to stretch on for months. troops dug into trenches on both sides. a style of warfare, this largely similar to world war one over 100 years ago. a far cry from the wizard's workshop or slick silicon valley promotional videos. they're also questions about the wisdom of relying on private companies like power and tear, or space x, which provides star link to satellite tech that allows ukrainian units to communicate on the battlefield. what if these companies offer their services to the

other side? what happens when russia and china learn from what's happening now and develop their own systems? right now, the world's militaries are watching ukraine's resistance as closely as the future of war takes shape while on the ground. it still looks a lot like the past, the pulling now, samuel benefits, he is with the center for naval analyses in washington. his work involves research on the russian military, including artificial intelligence is good to have you on the program. again, let me just begin by asking you, are we seeing and ukraine now a real life testing ground for the use of a i in more we are in a lot of what we're seeing actually is happening behind the scenes. artificial intelligence is a tool used by both sides to analyze vast amounts of information that are generated

by drones, by the waves, by assets on the ground and the air. and so it isn't always possible for humans to really go through all of that information. and then this is where artificial intelligence comes. it can very quickly go through all of the video and imagery and actually identify exactly what the soldiers and the commanders are looking for. so is a, i predicting russian troop movements. is it analyzing russian communications to identify the potential threats is that happening? there's certainly an element of predictive analytics and what you have just described, obviously, artificial intelligence as a data analysis and data management tool. and the tool that helps with decision making goes through a lot of different types of imagery and communication. it doesn't affect interest rate russians radio communication. it can now look at satellite imagery a get it can look at all kinds of video and imagery generated by military assets by

social media, and try and understand exactly where russian assets russian units may be. again, a lot of that is actually happening behind the scenes and probably in a classified as far as beyond predictive analysis. how far away are we from a situation where a i will be able to perhaps decide whether or not to drop a bomb or whether or not the fire or the target, as were probably very far from that. again, a lot of what artificial intelligence is doing right now is basically working with humans to look at data data that the humans are feeding, to artificial intelligence, to understand exactly what they are looking for. we are not yet discussing self actualizing machines. we're not discussing independence of by artificial intelligence or any type of independent action right now. artificial intelligence is a tool that very much helps the human needs to be let me ask before we run out of time and compare ukraine, and it's

a i on the battlefield with russia and where it stands with a i more fear, does ukraine have an edge yes, it does because ukraine gets the benefit of assistance from some of the top notch artificial intelligence and high tech companies from around the world, especially from the west rush. it does have its own artificial intelligence research. it's rather advanced, there's a lot that is happening within the ministry of defense, high tech equal system. they're looking at artificial intelligence as a decision making tools as a tool to analyze imagery, speech recognition, machine learning. but a lot of that is not necessarily seem of the feel the same time. there are a lot of questions right now about russia's use of certain types of learning, munitions like lambs, the 3 and the possibility that land. so it can actually be aided by ser artificial intelligence elements, but again, some of that is difficult to estimate based on the open source information that we're see. yeah, it's a fascinating topic and i'm sure we will. we will be talking again soon. samuel

banded with the center for naval analyses in washington. mr. bennett, thank you. thank you us. and he's a reminder of our top story, us secretary of state anthony blinking has met join his presidents agent being on a visit to beijing and becoming tensions between the 2 powers. both sides say that they agreed on the need to stabilize bilateral relations. you want your dw news, i'll be back at the top of the hour with more of old news, followed by the day i hope to see you that the
