the, the, this is the, the we news line from berlin, the united nations warrants the world must get ready for more destructive heat. waves roam, hits a new all time record high above 41 degrees celsius and in greece emergency. cruise tackle a 2nd wave of wildfires near athens. also on the program. an american citizen is

apparently held in north korea after crossing the border without permission. the us soldiers went missing well on a tour of the demilitarized zone between the 2 korean and thousands of as early stage a so called date of resistance and protests against government plants to reform the judiciary. opponents of the changes say democracy is that for the really it's good to have here with us. the united nation says the world needs to prepare for more intense heat waves as countries across north america, europe and asia, and or more extreme temperatures. and they are telling capital room the thermometer has hit a record high of 41.8 degrees celsius. that's a bit over 107 degrees fahrenheit. and the one's world media or logical

organization is warning that more record highs could be on the way for the northern hemisphere of greece is being hit, especially hard by wild fires. excessive heat, pushing through the 40 degree barrier is making normal summer time hazard. even worse, firefighters are tackling the flames while trying to keep residents and taurus at a safe distance. smoke seakans the and it's hard to breed is people rushed to evacuate. for a 2nd day, 5 fighters have bashful blazes just outside of athens. the all stars he's of ordered residents to leads in man dra, northwest of the capital. police tried to convince these nuns to leave them on a street ahead of the 5 front wiley nearby personality. some residents refused to abandon their homes as well, or even different. i'm not leaving. i started building this house when i was 27

years old by myself. i'll stay here at least to watch and burn. i'm not leaving. in some towns, residents have already seen everything they own. go up in flames. your ghost nickel out and his wife and i had lived in this house for 32 years. they've gone swimming when the fire struck. no good for my home. i have only my bathing suit which i swim and nothing else. and the shirt coverage, i have nothing else. i don't even have other shoes. nothing. i'm finished. france and easily have sent plains to help 5 flashes. but while they try to bring the main blazes under control, smaller fires, spring up in forested areas. dried out by high temperatures, the heat wave baking much of southern europe is set to intensify this week. and

grace as weather all stars. he's have warned that the extreme heat will bring a high risk of even more wild flies. joined now by sophia, sophia cliff talkies is just outside athens where these wildfires are raging. sophia new heat wave on its way doesn't look like relief is coming any time soon. does it a good evening from us on the call? uh yes, greece, all temperatures of 40 degrees and even higher this week, the acropolis, the country's most popular tourist attraction, was closer in the how does hours of the day in the past days in order to protect visitors and maybe 1020 minutes uh before we connected today with you, i saw outside the window, the lights went off of the acropolis, i was show the shop now its on again. so i didn't know if that has been link so potentially reco temperatures. i expected at the end of this week as well, specifically on thursday. so now the heat wave approaches and the guidelines from

the greek civil protection are just stay in doors, closed doors and windows in order to keep safe. what do we know about the cause of the fire? well, regarding the cause, there are 3 main factors. of course, the heat weight, the height, the height, you temperatures, and secondly, the very, very dry weather conditions. we haven't seen the rain in a while. um, all those up very high temperatures started some late june and july, june wasn't very warm in greece. and in athens and sort of course, the very strong winds that started yesterday. and greece has been his wealth tires over and over again in the last few years. and has any progress been made and preventing them or protecting civilian? i think it's very early to, to talk about improvement. what we can say so far though,

is that the declaration of the residential areas had been immediately ordered by the security authorities. and okay, this, this cost tensions with the residents. we did not want to, to leave their possessions behind which, which happens, houses in properties where in our burning domestic animals have been killed by the flames. um, although there have been no serious human injuries reported so far, so the main concern is projecting human life right now, sophia cliff talking, thank you so much. she joins us tonight from athens, is let's take a look now at some of the other stories making is around the world today. flood waters have reached the wall of the taj mahal for the 1st time and more than 40 years. the monument sits on the banks of the swollen javelin, now river, unusually heavy rainfall. this monsoon season has triggered flooding and landslides

across northern india a ty, food has made landfall in china, forcing the evacuation of nearly a quarter 1000000 people. tell him is the 4th type soon in the region. this year it hit the southern coastline with winds of more than a 130 kilometers. now. in japan has issued heat alerts in more than 30 pre fractures in central and south western regions. temperatures in tokyo and elsewhere have risen to nearly 40 degrees celsius. at least 60 people have been treated for huge stroke. and it was climate on why john kerry says climate cooperation between the united states and china could re define their strain, ties carries, visited. china is aimed at reviving climate negotiations between the world's 2 largest polluters relations between the us and china have been marred into a political disputes the united states as is working to resolve the situation

after an american soldier across the heavily armed border from south to north korea without authorized station officials say the service man is now likely in custody after running across the border during a tour around part of the demilitarized zone and upon moon jung truce village, the us state department advises americans not to enter north korean to, to the serious risk of arrest and long term detention. now the us defense secretary load austin had this to say about the case. but i can confirm that i would say up front that were very early in this event. and so there's a lot of that that we're still trying to learn. but what we do know is that one of our service members who is on a tour, willfully and without authorization across the military demarcation line, we believe that he is in the b r k. custody and so we're closely monitoring and

investigating the situation and working to notify the soldiers next of kin and engaging to address the sense of it. in terms of my concerns i'm, i'm absolutely for most concerned about the welfare of our true and so we will remain focused on this. and again this, this will develop for the next several days now. and i will keep you posted was the us defense secretary lloyd austin. they're speaking today um south korea based or, and it was kim young soon told us more about the area where this incident took place . the military team, or occasion line is merely a bump in the ground. it's just the line. so really crossing over that line would only take steps and currently witness to say that there are no a soldier is guarding the north korean part, especially from since the pandemic. so if this individual in question and in question would, i would like to cross over that line. it will only take

a split 2nd and the you one command guarding the south korean part. uh they would not have enough time to react. so indeed, it does seem something like this is possible, even though it's a, it's an extremely x, rare case. we're also dealing with something that we haven't seen before. there was a case of 2001 where a, a for a national of did try to cross over to the north korean side, but was immediately caught by the j guards. but something like this has really never happened before. but the person in dpr to custody, we are very concerned south korea is very concerned about him since referring back to some of the cases that has happened before, especially the on a warm beer case back in 2017. the us national, who was detained in declaring custody and was later returned home in

a vegetative state. so it does seem that we're dealing with a very dangerous and delicate situation here. some other news from around the world now, a european union, latin american and caribbean leaders have wrapped up a 2 day summit and brussels still divided over the war and ukraine. they failed to agree unanimously on the wording of a statement about russia's invasion with nickel. rob ross reported near refusing to join 59 other nations and enjoyed criticism of the war. former us president donald trump says he's the target of a criminal investigation into efforts to overturn the 2020 us presidential election . and the social media posts. trump says he received a letter on sunday from special council jack smith, who's leading the investigation, informing him of the roof. that's a letter can often precede an indictment. thousands of people in israel have taken part in protest against the government plan. traditional reforms in tel aviv

demonstrators have been staging riley's unimportant science across the city, including the stock exchange defense ministry train stations, and wrote junctions as all parts of woods being distraught and described as a date of resistance. by organizers, the action comes in the run up to a parliamentary vote on a key part of the proposed reforms, which critics have said would dismantled the democracy. as protests enter their 7th month prime minister benjamin netanyahu seems to be going ahead with a program. the 1st bill in the package measure that seeks to limit the supreme court's oversight powers can become law as soon as next week. the w corresponding rebecca rivers has more than the government trying to push on the combination of trying to push on with the reform. but they did listen a few months ago when the process is came out in force as a off today. and during the week during the day of the disruption of their resistance, as, as some people are holding it, as they came out. and it was

a nationwide and the, the reforms were been put on high benjamin that the day before that the defense defense minister for speaking out against the table came out in the drive. hundreds of thousands of people came out in industry and he was successful. in fact, you know, as i said, putting me for putting the phones on. i got the colors in my balance, of course, on benjamin that now who's doing a delicate dance with his father, right. members, if he's coalition trying to appease them so that his government doesn't pop, having a good day for home and it wants to gain the closer we get to the final. but the more people we see coming out again and it's dw corresponding rebecca river as well. the unrest is also cast a shadow over the is rarely presidents visit to the white house is our care talk has been invited to washington to celebrate israel. 75th anniversary has been

trying to find a compromise over the judicial reforms which have strange relations between these really prime minister benjamin netanyahu. and he was president joe biden. once i got some analysis, we're enjoying now by our d. w. washington. bureau chief is full in is, how are these protests affecting president her thoughts present to the us? it's the only cold president biden is actually all of his previous assessors is a stone supporter of israel by g as many others here in the united states has criticized benjamin netanyahu has directly, but also his writing coordination about his plans to reform courts and, and also his settlement policy, so he used actually really strong awards saying that they cannot, davidson say he means of the israeli government. they cannot continue down this road and with strong words like that to kind of reflects really some feeling of

many americans. on the other hand, he also got really harshly criticized for that from a prominent republicans like former vice president, my parents were referred to by the end of the democrats as an to semitic. so the country is really divided also over betts and with the changing demographics here. the relationship to israel seems to be getting more complex. but after all, there is no doubt that the majority of the americans, one to one to 2 countries really to keep working together for 2 political and security reasons. and having that said, many experts say that the u. s. is really relationship has never been as bad as it is right now. was he and his pull in washington? thank you so much. always great speaking to the united nations security council is holding its 1st formal discussion on

artificial intelligence. governments around the world are looking at how to minimize the dangers of the new technology. you and secretary general and tony with terrace as a i can be used for both positive but also negative purposes. they are used to be working connection with peace and security, including 5 united nations is increasingly being used to identify pets of violence . money towards these fires ends more helping to stress. and i'll a peacekeeping mediation and demand petty and efforts. but they, i, tools can also be used by those with malicious intent. they are models can help people to harm themselves and each other at the massive scale. let's be clear. the militias use of a i system. so what saturday is mean the last states purposes with causality, peak levels of this and the spectrum, widespread that alma and the psychological damage on an imaginable scale. a

i enabled c, but a tex. i'd already thought of that the include the going for the structure of the, our don't peacekeeping or the med federal potations causing great human suffering. and the development of ai is being accompanied by an increase in deep fakes and propaganda and conflicts, including of course, the war and ukraine. in this video, russian, president tutoring is announcing on the television that russia is under attack. the message was also carried by several radio stations, but it is a fake to be precise, a deep faith, the kremlin, and state on news agency. ria boat said that the speech was fake and the result of a heck this video, which also announced a general mobilization, was shared thousands of times on multiple social media platforms. but defects like this one, the main purpose is to spread confusion and panic among people. here by hacking

official tv and radio channels, it contributed to confusion by using official and trustworthy sources to spread this information. defects and generative e i have to become stronger in the past years and are being misused, especially in conflicts to manipulate people. i think that'd be the recent developments in a i generate the text we know with large language models and a i generated images. and we've the foreseeable evolution of the, the fix technologies where videos we are heading in the direction of having a huge risk of lots of nice information at this information content. too often most notable defect examples in this war went viral in march 2022. 1 was of ukrainian presidents, zalinski, ordering his troops to surrender. the other was a fulton suggesting a peaceful resolution integrate both had poor quality and were debunked very

quickly. but did manage to cost confusion and sold out in a war bad quantity fakes can still create uncertainty. and the, or used to manipulate on a different levels is that when i have the images and video of human rights violations in the ukraine by the russians. who can say, hey, those are fake. how do we know they're real? when politicians get in trouble for doing and same things, they shouldn't have done, they claim the fake. and i would say that that is probably the largest, the right doctor here. defects are not only being used to manipulate locals in this world example. a man impersonates a russian soldier on his do, you know, count the chinese version of tech talk. this man shared in man during his 1st hand experience of the war with his 400000 followers. but he was exposed as being neither russian nor a soldier. in reality, he was

a resident of hand in china. he had used artificial intelligence too for his followers. several hints hoped to discover the truth behind this video. the man how to hang on accent. there are unnatural movements office face at the level of his mouth and chin and an electric ukrainian. a nuclear power plant is actually in hand on despite many users pointing out, inconsistencies, some fell for him saying russian soldiers fight to the end. long live the who ra victory. do you in band, his account on june, 16th for disseminating false information, says deep fake, splashed onto the screen on the screen in 2016 or so. we've only seen an increase in the sophistication and the power and the misuse. so we see the defects and generate of a i are becoming more sophisticated and therefore also more dangerous by the date.

however, they're not being used in a way and skill as experts had anticipated, but still enough to sold out with civilians on both sides of the war. for a closer look, i'm joined now from washington by christmas roll. he's the director of the brookings, artificial intelligence and emerging technology initiative. welcome to the w. now we heard that there just now the un secretary general said that a i tools and the wrong hands can cause great damage, potentially even threaten world peace. what scenarios are we looking at here? well, there's a few different scenarios. first of all, thank you for, for having me. it's a, it's a great opportunity. great chance to be here. um, i would say on the scenario is the, the dfcs scenario that you uh, already laid out in the kind of prior clip that honey, i mean for you. but i think it's a really compelling one as far as how it can be used and turn in a time of conflict, the so confusion and distress. beyond that, i would say that there are 2 really important scenarios to bear in mind. one is,

unfortunately, these models can, you know, if they're trained on the right data can in fact produce information relevant to the man, you know, manufacturing of different, you know, biological agents or even potentially chemical weapons. um and you know, non state actors in particular who might not otherwise be able to develop those kinds of weapons will be able to do so potentially if they have access to the right kind of of a systems. the 2nd kind of big class of thread um the, the non state actors might be able to carry out in terms of having access to a i relates to cyber security. you know, these texts, or, you know, these, these tools are also trained on computer code. they're able to, uh, flag vulnerabilities and different systems and it's not beyond the, the possibility of a non state actor or some kind of criminal group or terrorist group to be able to use these systems to more effectively hack into safety critical applications. whether that's hospitals, power plants, etc. yeah. so what kind of regulations do we need in order to make sure artificial

intelligence doesn't slip out of her control? i would say that there's 2 main regulations we need one is disclosure of a generated ai system. so if you are, you know, creating or distributing a, a, an image of whether it's, you know, present and zalinski or a president put in. um, you know, you should be forced to disclose that. that is a generative a that that was generated by a i and that, that's not actually who, who it's for training. i think there is very straightforward laws that we can pass . um there's a lot of consensus on that within the united states, within the u. e. even within china on making sure that that kind of legislation regulation is passed. the 2nd really core and critical regulation would be testing and, and kind of auditing the systems. right. so if something does go wrong, regulators need to have the ability to understand what it was, what happened within the model, what happened within the a i that caused it to produce a certain kind of information. whether that's,

you know, i'm a bio weapon potentially or some kind of hacking, vulnerability regulators need the ability to look inside the systems and understand and, and kind of back trace when something goes wrong. what exactly went wrong in the 1st place? but i'm wondering if that is going to realistically help us, especially when it comes to non state actors. or i think it will because once we have um, you know, once we have a good sense of how these systems behave, we can begin to deny them capabilities that they would otherwise have. right. if we knew that a particular model was capable of producing certain kinds of information about biological weapons, for example, we could lock down that parts of the model in advance. and the problem is right now, regulators are flying blind, like we don't even really understand what's in these models. we need some way of kind of testing them and evaluating. um, ideally before they're released out into the world at scale for these kind of critical, dangerous capabilities. yeah, we only have about half a minute left,

but i do want to know because experts agree that a i is going to develop more and more rapidly from here on out. will we be able to catch up or are we already too late in the game? oh no, i'm. i'm an optimist by nature. so i, i refused to kind of throw in the towel. i think there's a lot that we can do a i is raising ahead, but there's a lot that the good guys and the good guys can do to catch up. i don't think by any stretch of the imagination that the game has already been one and that you know, we might as well just kind of throw our hands up. i don't think the sky is falling yet, and i think there's a tremendous amount we can do both on the technical side and the regulatory side to make sure that the, the future is of a i is a bright future for all of us. christmas are all in washington. thank you so much for your time. thank you. i appreciate it. i the sports now and football grade line or messy has finally hit the training page with his new club enter miami, a contract signed, find the 36 year old. keeps them in florida through 2025 message they do is planned
