[000:00:00;00] the business day that we are here as long from berlin, nikki haley drops out of the us presidential race. the former south carolina of governor ends her been for the white house after losses to donald trump in tuesday's primaries. that doesn't mean show endorsed the only republican now less than the race. also coming up. as well as european assembly plant near berlin grinds to a halt. police plane are sent a far left military group claims to be behind the attempt. and will these huge puppies put you out of a job? we talked to an a, an expert who explains how

a new form of artificial intelligence is pushing the envelope and performing task, but entertain us. but also question our future. the earliest welcome to the program. we've been getting in the united states were nikki haley has to suspended her presidential campaign, leaving donald trump as the last republican in the race for the white house. haley was the last of a dozen major candidates. the former president vanquished in his mission to secure the republican nomination or announcement falls primary elections in 15 states known as super tuesday or trump one all but one. this sets the stage for a rematch in november as general election between trump and president joe biden. both men have made their pets for hayley's block of mainly athletic moderate

loaders. announcing her ex and hailey from gradually the trump, but stopped short of endorsing him to. i am filled with the gratitude for the outpouring of support we've received from all across our great country. but the time has now come to suspend my campaign. in all likelihood donald trump will be the republican nominee when our party convention meets in july. i congratulate him and wish him well. i wish anyone well, who would be america's president? our country is too precious to let our differences divide. i have always been a conservative republican and always supported the republican nominee. but on this question, as she did on so many others, margaret better provided some good advice when she said, quote, never just follow the crowd. always make up your own mind. it is now up to

donald trump to earn the votes of those in our party and beyond it, who did not support. and i hope he does, that was a wave of loss as to donald trump on super tuesday that ultimately finished off hailey's campaign. here's how the day unfolded. super tuesday, this time did not come with big surprises. as donald trump cemented his hold on the republican presidential nomination, he says this is one of the finest run campaigns that anybody has ever seen. that's pretty good, right. as for the real estate, and we have no choice because november 5th, right around the corner. november 5th is going to go down as the single most important day in the history of our country. for the democratic nomination, president biden is the leading contender. and she has no substantial primary

challenge. so the trump side and re match in november looks quite likely. many american folks are say they would have preferred new options this year rather than a rematch. oh, i'm terribly frustrated with this country. i mean, the fact that we have biden in trump to choose from. it's disgraceful. it's just disgraceful. we don't need to oxygen ariens in office running for office. there's plenty of other people who were earlier in their careers who could run and do a better job than those to me, a lot of my friends would be outgoing. like you, my girlfriend hasn't bother voting in cheese, hasn't missed the single one. how come our best choice is joe biden? his candidate, he hasn't done anything using harold if any of his promises the no, i'm just, i'm just not happy with the, the, the, to binary choices. and they're both with super, to stay behind. always will be on the election in november where americans will

pick their next president. and the w. washington bureau chief and his full joins me now for more on the super tuesday or results. and it's hailey is out. she says she has no regret spots, and a lot of people were very interested in whether or not she would. she has an endorse donald trump. now what's that all about? correct. that's what 2 notes did. i see percentage was a really presidential. i would say well chosen words, deliberate of, of charm and strength. she definitely is not ready to stop fighting for, for her vision of the republican party. she renewed her a call for return to conservative principles and was actually against an isolationist foreign policy of donald trump. and it is, as you just said, it is important to notice that she did not endorse donald trump. actually quite the opposite as she basically said that she has to win the support of hor,

supporters by returning to conservative principals. mm. let's talk about the people who voted for making healy because she didn't manage to win many primaries, but she does have a solid supporter base that is made up mostly of more moderate conservative doesn't she? now which way do you think they're likely to lean now that she has withdrawn? well, there are, of course, haley supporters who would void for everyone who is the candidate of the republican policy. but they are also often female republicans or actually hesitant to support a candidate who is not only facing $91.00 criminal records court collins, a bunch of it was also known for his misogynistic approach to women. many of them i talked to on the campaign trail the last week, so told me that they rather actually would stay home or even vote for president biden to avoid another tone of dollars on. so the stage is set pretty much for

a rematch of 2020. i want to advertise to the american people have for that. as we also adjust to the piece, most feel that donald trump and joe biden actually should not run for president again. in 2024 to in 3 americans say that they are tired of seeing the same candidates and presidential elections and ones. uh, someone you, over all 52 percent of americans are even not satisfied with the whole 2 party system. and one, the 3rd choice and actually, you know, i'm actually pretty sure that many moderate republicans who watch mickey haley's speech today have a hard time to expect, except that donald trump and not she's running again, spite in, in november also maybe because they think she much might, might have much better chances to beat bite. and then donald trump, about $244.00 days of trump. again,

spite inviting the guns trump are ahead of us. we shall see. exactly. and you will be there along the way. that was data where you watching and variance is in is full . thank you so much for your analysis and those insights and with another set of trump primary victories, the likelihood of a 2nd. donald trump presidency looms large that has main you're a team leaders, nervous, end, mitchell, and the possibility of a return to an america 1st policy in washington. and even the lack of support for the nato. as far as the officials on the continental prep for a future, without their most powerful out when he was previously president of the united states. donalds, trump describe that you are p and you know as a folk and threatens to make you a p and pay for us protects. now his america, 1st policy good. once again, we shape transatlantic relations for many european politicians. the possibility of

donald trump's return to the white house is a nightmare scenario. even though they don't like to speak about it in front of a camera, surely. and you're not inviting me to interfere and the internal affairs of a biggest ally. it's um the people in, in america who, who had the right to choose the president in private. however, one diplomats describe the apple sphere to us as a mixture of desperation and resignation. and it seems pretty clear that's behind closed doors. officials in your opinion, capitals working on contingency plans. should there be a 2nd donald trump presidency? i'm sure that there are contingency plans. i'm not going to wait until the last moment. the advantage that they have is some trump is not anymore unlike what was the case in 2000. 162017 is not an unknown person anymore of the present during his 1st term and office trump imposed terrorists on

trade with you members. he pulled out of the paris climate agreements and in what was the biggest shock he repeatedly question, do you ask commitments to the nato alliance now he's delivering the same messages on the compatriots. one of the presidents of a big country stood up said, well sir, if we don't pay and were attacked by russia, will you protect us? i said, no, i would not protect you. in fact, i would encourage them to do whatever the hell they want. you gotta say, so who does 2nd trump presidency mean the end of nato? it's not just about whether the united states is in or out. i mean, almost certainly the united states would stay in, but there are, there are levels of being in and the other allies on occasions have, have salt, lower levels of involvement with nato, withdrawing from the integrated military command, for example, or simply simply focusing on areas outside of the european security orbit, which would leave europe uh, in

a position of having to sort of somehow fill that gap. could you fill that gap? not into short term. experts say nate to without us would be weak. europe's nuclear deterrence, without america, nuclear weapons, inconceivable, at least for now and supporting ukraine without money and arms from washington would be much more difficult. so what can even leaders do? no matter what will happen in us? europe has to be able to do more on our own and in a corporation with our allies. this is a wake of code for, for everybody in, in europe to do more for, for european own defense, doing more for you or p and secuity could help. but it will take time for countries to be able to do that, and you are p and the union army 1st discussed decades ago is still a distant endeavor. and in the meantime, this one looks at the experience of the trumpet administration that we had. clearly he views the world, not just through nation states, but through individual leaderships,

individual leaders. i can say not so much alliances, not so much agreements, sometimes not even states but, but individuals. and so those individual relationships matter. building relationships, stepping up on defense, europeans are bracing foot from $2.00 and they know that a new face and a transatlantic relationship might be link anyway, regardless of who will win the race to the white house. and a quick look now at some other stories making headlines around the world. today. a ship has been attacked south of u. m. and then the gulf of aidan enable operation is underway to rescue the crew of the word bay, das flagged vessel. humans who fee rebels have launched. a flurry of strikes in the red sea. they say is in response to the war and gaza and is really inquiry has found prime minister benjamin netanyahu responsible for

a deadly stampede. in 2021. it concluded he had been notified of similar dangers in the past and failed to act. 45 people died when tens of thousands of alternate orthodox jews converged for annual celebrations on mount moran, near israel's border with levin on you'll yeah. nevada no. yeah. the widow of russian opposition leader alexander alone. he has called on russians to join an election day. protest by voting against president vladimir food and of all know yah said she had drawn hope from the huge crowns that turned out last week for the funeral. of her husband died in a russian prison on february 16 but we see in germany are blaming arson. after a suspected attack on test was in european plant near wonderland, a far less militant group is claiming responsibility. the electricity supply was cut off and production and shut down. this coincides with environmental is efforts to stop tesla from expanding the factory. c o,

a loan mosque tweeted the act of this quote, are either the dumbest eco terrorists on earth or their puppets of those who don't have good environmental goals. stopping production of electric vehicles rather than fossil fuels, vehicles is extreme don't. in english, that means it's really done. a spokesperson says the german government strongly condemned a tax on infrastructure. the police vans near the desk left land just outside the german got the key berlin. a fire broke out at a high voltage electricity file on which led to up our failure. authorities believe it was an act of sabotage from the today. criminal police or investigation on suspicion of ours are investigating all needs. and then on a far left 1000000 group has claimed responsibility and the message posted online. the power outage force tested out to halt its production and evacuated workers who owns this specifically for us. this really is an attack on this industrial side

here and find the book. we have up to 12000 employees because i worked at the moment. the sensitive gums of the electric car maker is facing protests against its expansion plans at the blonde environmental activists are occupying a nearby forest, putting up dense and building tree houses. as part of the stop dessler movement life is that's. we've occupied this forest because tesla, which is building electric cars here, and it's a big a factory for us to also wants to buy unclear this area of forest on done off these advisory board and us. and we've occupied the forest just on this, that the environmental activists have issued the statement distancing themselves from the suspected arson attack. tesla says production board resume before next week, and it expects the losses to run to several 100000000 euros. i'm

joined now by our political corresponding hon. it's brian who has just returned from the factory on spring is up to date. what do we know as well as this? very little going on that the factory at the moment who had just heard about the 12000 employees has very little to be seen of this 12000 employees. hands full of people are leaving or entering the building, presumably doing a sort of cleaning work or that sort of thing. i spoke to some people say that that just come in to have a look how things are going and when they might be able to return to their jobs. but they were not able to say that i have a uh, it's likely to take uh, several days for the factory to stop again at the moment. that's to emergency generators running. that is still an emergency lighting system having of inputs off hand. don't say emergency system for all those tests by electric caused to be re charged as a, as funding on the parking lot in front of the factory. i also spoke to those

environmental lists that have occupied a far as just outside the factory and a consent of what we've just heard, that they oppose such attacks on infrastructure and violent attacks on tests. even though they, i'm not very happy with the fact that the factory is the end that it is planning to expand on the right. i mean the extreme left wing group that's a, that's committed this attack on that issue to a statement saying that it's done so clearly it has a different agenda, something anti capitalist may be and, and also accusing cases of, of being exploitative of destroying the environment. and so the whole gamut of accusations, none of which really makes much sense, frankly. how disruptive is this for a testament operation here in germany, and how damaging could it be for the brand?

well, uh, a recalculate or the factory manager calculates that about a 1000 vehicles that have been produced every day. so we get up to about $7000.00 a week and as a factory is likely to be shut down for about a week. so you multiply by the, by that, by the price uh, full, those vehicles that cannot be produced and cannot be sold on. you get to those several $100000000.00 on the euros. uh that the company will lose as uh, in terms of tests as reputation. that is still some criticism among surveys, events in the area, and also not entirely happy about the factory being there. at the same time, it has a lot of support because it employs a lot of people and it brings into a lot of taxes, obviously for the region and for the german state. yeah. do you think this is likely to put off other international companies looking into setting up shop here in germany? well, the, i think the german government is concerned about this. so the government spokesman tried to downplay such fits today and govern inspection have been saying that they

want to increase protection for critical infrastructure. that means for the electricity supply for such a factory, for instance, and also for crucial industrial organizations. but that's something i still a bit off in the future, and i think there is some concern here in germany that other international investors might think twice about actually spending a lot of money to invest here in this country as dw hands from many thanks. and now towards being counted as another giant leaf in artificial intelligence, sora is the latest tool released by the company behind the ground breaking chatbox chat and g p t. it can create realistic looking videos based on a simple text prompt. but there are concerns about what sora could unleash these puppies don't exist. the video is generated by an occupational intelligence

algorithm. they may, sora, the new text or video generate to from open a i a year ago. the best, hey, i videos would like this rather confusing big commercial. now open a i says, or a couldn't create clips like this from a use of text prompt, a brief written instruction of what to show. this the company says was created from the prompt, tour of an art gallery with many beautiful works of 10 different styles. spots as spectacular as many examples on sorres' homepage might seem open. i admit the program still has some flaws. a video generators need to apply the laws of physics to understand how lighting changes in a moving scene, for example. and so it doesn't get all of that just yet. but as the world is discovering with the text and image generators,

these algorithms run fast. some of the bags like this one created with mine journey, already creeping into the public domain. they could be very disruptive, politically, socially and personally, making it very difficult to determine what's real and what's not open. i is so concerned about the dangers sort of could pose, it's not releasing the program until it has safeguards in place. daniel ariah is a senior fellow at the center for international governance innovation and an expert on artificial intelligence. daniel, welcome. are we heading toward a world where we can't trust anything, not even videos. and so in cute little bobby's, i mean, i think unfortunately that's where we're at now we can, you know, government mandate certain requirements to make sure that these images are

legitimate. we can develop authentication tools. we can, you know, develop a more critical awareness for how the videos are distributed and where they're made . there's a lot we can apply. but i think the fact of the matter is that we're entering a new era when in which this kind of technology becomes widespread. it's democratizing, and i think the more people that are involved in creating a crafting this technology, more they spread through social media and more possible will be for states or governments to constrain and limit how they're used. so it is a very difficult problem. we're chasing for all of us, non experts out there who, you know, don't want to be filled. are there any reliable traits to identifying a i generated images to tell real from fake. it might be so far. if you look at even the videos of sore right now, you can see some issues around the snowflakes or get it, for example, of those copies. or you can look at the basic physics that are floyd, but i mean these technologies are improving and leaps and bounds. we're looking at

an s curve or exponential shift and how these, these tools improve. and so i think whatever we did today, we use forensic analysis, or we started to reverse engineer how these videos for constructed down the road a year or 2. it will be impossible to use the same method. so i think it's a, it's a difficult and under and we're facing that's not to say it's not resolvable. i don't mean to be pessimistic. i think that is just a new phase in maternity and it's something that is challenging, but not impossible to solve. part of it is just the agency of those people are, are citizens that are the people themselves were consuming the media. they have to be made aware of the fact that this video going to be real. and until we get there, i want to take a closer look at the political impact with you because we're in the middle of the biggest election year in history. how big of a threats do you think a poses to democracy? i mean, i think democracy face has a lot of challenges right now. i think as one of those things. but there's no doubt

democracies are in some respects moving too slowly. technology has is accelerating and it's pace. our legislature legislators are slowly trying to resolve these issues around regulation, but i don't think that in another child support will do the job then that'll analog i was uses that you know parliament, you're like, uh, coders and so they're trying to right out with the legislation that can manage the shift. the fact of the matter is that, you know, coding is disappearing as a profession. so suddenly, how something has to be done with regard to how democracy is function and how they operate in terms of a constraining man edging and regulating technology. what, what your suggestion would be when it comes to safeguards that needs to be put in place to prevent this from creating, completing the other and pay us well, i don't know if it's going to create great, complete or chaos, but i think people are losing faith in our institutions,

and that's not without good reason. but the fact is that we as a, a, a driving civilization are dealing with changes that we've never seen before. and the consequence of those changes that we need to begin to deploy tools in government. government tends to be one of the more resistant domains to uptake in terms of leveraging these technologies. and i think about that, i mean the on software and i think government has to move faster, has to be much more effective, much more efficient at understanding the changes ahead rather than always playing catch up and is predicted to ad trillions of dollars to the global economy and the next couple of years. and just to wrap up, who will be the winners and losers of this development to i mean, obviously the corporations are going to do well. microsoft is going to do as a half the prize and opening i. i think there's room for start ups in new software

companies that will disrupt older markets. if you look at the film industry, for example, there's a huge opportunity to disrupt tower films are made. and i think there's a room for young smart, how rich people to become involved in developing a new software platform. we've said that, hey, i is also an automated technology, and so lots of people lose our jobs unfortunately. and so i think we have to start to consider what our economy looks like when people fall out of it. i think that's happening already. and i think that as we begin to robert heads around where this is going, we should start thinking about experiment. so i don't just mean you be, i mean there's other approaches to this, but i do mean think about an economy in which not everybody's working at full capacity. that's something which they need to consider. feel like, well bring you in more often to have you explained this phrase, new world to us. that was daniel ariah with the center for international governance and innovation. thank you so much. thank if and that's it for now from the new se with us though, because of next doc,

billing travels to the nice feels of kind of going yeah. and to find out what new data climate researchers are collecting their uncle fairly from all of us here in the newsroom. roland,

thank you so much for your company. the ice cold be patrick. i need an expedition ventures on 2 places that no one has to explore.

why is the ice melting more rapidly than the trees in the ice fields unknown past? the next d w. now we are being chased and they are falling out of people that we ask to be very fast check. when you have reception please, we might have environmental as are on the run from the to the mass. yeah. the illegal timber trade is a $1000000000.00 business with no regard for people or nature in 45 minutes on d w. the cost about why does that?

because now i'm liza the new host. join us for an exciting exploration. and everything in between. this is a video and audio production 5 d w. i hope that you will tune in the to the ice fields in the past to go in on these unknown valley discovered terrain. a team of mounts and e, as in scientists tend to explore these almost a miserable regions where global climate change is more tangible than almost anywhere else in the world. the
