full service, but i didn't like the idea of getting such an old fashioned job and being stuck with dreams coming through, making money, having a son with non fools injunction stuff. december 13th on d. w. the this is dw news live from berlin. serious 2nd largest city is now mostly in revel. hands is the most fighters celebrate their advance into a level. and the biggest challenge in here is to the regime of charlotte sun. also in the show, protesters class with police for a 3rd night in georgia's capital. the leasing, they're angry over the government's decisions at freeze talks to join the european union. and romania goes to the poles to elect the new parliament just a week after a little known far right candidate won the 1st round of its presidential election.

the a, a marion evans dean. it's good to have you with us. we begin with the biggest challenge in years to the regime of syrian president, bashar al assad, thousands of rebel as long as fighters have taken over much of the 2nd largest city . a level also sees in control of the airport and dozens of towns and villages, syria and his ally. russia have carried out air strikes against the rebels. assad has vowed to defeat the insurgents. rebel fighters celebrate in the central town square in the heart of a level this fire of victory shots, savoring the crimes that has an austin serious redeem from here. and for the hosp, the happiness as indescribable. the happiness of liberating the city of an echo.

but we're now in the main square, we've been waiting for this for 10 years. well, even shall. it's an indescribable feeling. my older brother was mounted here and the left boat, 13 years ago. praise to go to bed. praise to god. allow me to go. hunt allow me to go home. this video for florida lee shows on gunmen and truck seas in control of the city civilian airport. the syrian army admit it has lost control of much of a level which it has for 8 years. and dozens, if its soldiers were killed. when a coalition affordable groups launched a surprise attack, a few days ago, they seized the military base weapons and even tanks from syrian government forces . the lightning offensive is led by the r h b s, which used to be a guide does branch and serial before severing ties. the coalition consists of

multiple groups with different ng into all the jews. what unites them is their opposition to syrian president. much are less on this assault is the biggest challenge in egos do is redeem and has dropped in the front lines of the serial civil war that has largely remained frozen since 2020 the rebels have also taken control of dozens of strategic towns and hama, and it lead provinces. russia launched a series of strikes across the city in a bit to stop the rebels. it was the 1st time in a 2 years russian war planes had a level. earlier i spoke to jerome driven from the international crisis group and i asked him if the syrian rebels have foreign backing. there is some degree of support by uh, by therapy. but the reality that the reverse have been provided positive battery for years. for the past 4 or 5 years that today to recognize themselves on the deck,

i'm new training profession or professionalized out troops. and so when we speak about others, now we speak about groups about very different from underway 10 years ago. so truly, there is some degree of 50 strip off the coast of each even friendship as well. we also are seeing the group apparently continuing to gain ground or even been some reports about classes in serious capital, damascus. could they realistically gain control over more major areas of the country? so yesterday didn't follow up quite quickly. people that prevents officially, that's lots of by, by the regime. but that somehow i thought that just be getting the sense that the battery has off medicaid empty. so origin troops just right now, it seemed that the insurgency has reached the outskirts of a, i'm a, which would be very, very different. because here we speak about a city that's populated, that's very loud. and so that's probably going to be the next phase of the bathroom

and the mtf to, to know what exactly would happen as well. we also saw this week was russian war planes hitting a level was the 1st time this happened in 8 years. how much can the syrian governments though, rely on it's longstanding allies such as russia and also iran? if you get to choose to a key, the restaurants that have gone through the teams here? yeah, most of what they provide is asked about. so they can try advanced agency accounting to discharge their phone signs, things like this, but it would be much opposite for them to work on k. i do know that we as without going through these to make the, the around and it's supported the allies like have by law and see how many shifts where those concepts thinking of a territory. but it's much, much less likely for them to be in voters now because of some of these very threats that evade go and getting bored easily might as well as track them. what about

involvement from western countries, specifically from the united states or possibly golf country is, could they somehow play a role? i think the us who bank to look at it and great to draw scenarios in case developments continue. but it's very that doubtful that the us going to be back and forth as it gets to both countries. it's supposed to by far i mean the anyway. i was expressly bought for the origin, but it's the next the fathers to do anything beyond just looking at it's and trying to. okay to evaluate tonight is of the president of syria. but sharla side has been saying that the government is going to do everything to beat the terrorist. as he put it, do you think that the syrian army is in fact strong enough to really repel these rebels? i don't think so. they have been unable to prevent the coaching stuff. i label

adult thing that would be a button to keep the stick it back. i best against them, like some sometimes the, the revision that was, is around driven from the international crisis group. thank you so much for all of your insights. we appreciate it. thank you. let's turn our attention to georgia now where krause have clashed with police for a 3rd consecutive night in the capital to be leasing. they accused the ruling george and dream party of pulling the country into russia's or bit earlier, george's prime minister, iraq a capacity. it says that the state would not allow a revolution to take place. the wave of unrest with spark, when the government froze talks on joining the european union. police fire deal gas and use watkins to discuss pro your being protests outside the parliament into pc. cousins of protest is across the country valley for the 3rd night individual demanding that the government resume

talks with the you. the thing is that for many days now, already hundreds of thousands of people are coming out to protest, self organized, sacrificing themselves, their health and life. for one reason, these people want to see themselves in georgia in the, you know, a little by i'm progressing russia. first of all, rush, i was trying to provide whole georgia and they're charging by us by getting the government they want in georgia and taking us in without any power they want to slave us. they want, they want to do that, so we want peace. but we want freedom. we aren't able to quite grow afraid of the pro question george in president suit up is really quotes the government, legitimate in an interview to

d. w. c. court of depression influence in georgia. that is a whole rest of the system that is taking a foot in the, in georgia and that has worked at the georgia in pollution met similarly, is that this thing introduced? this is dave and what is the new in georgia? the protests are extended to all the major cities in georgia prime. and if you could fix that and response to the protests of the state, but do not allow lucian to be placed all over. she thought it done, but the people on the streets make clear, and we're to see the country in the future. the w 's maria cut them on. so it has been following the protest and to be lucy. and she told us more about the georgia positions plans of the opposition parties and the georgian president, they are expected to formally launch

a permanent console to today. they say that this will be a console that is going to push for new elections. that is going to, uh, you know, how cheap, uh, you know, having contracts with the you that the government is, uh, breaking and uh, you know, just organize net nationwide pro tests. really. the protests are not just happening here in the city of bbc, but the nationwide in villages is small towns. it's looks like if you know, a really powerful sort of national movement from, from the ground. and we understand that the position of the president will gain, you know, in the unified sort of manner would present their action plan to the public. they say that they're not ready to give off. as the steak sauce quite high. they view the government as pro russian, but so they say that the georgia, georgia and so supports europe and that's the future that they deserve. and we're

going to fight for this teacher. that is the position of the pro you president and a position that was d w 's. maria cuts amounts of reporting from to release the a short time ago. well, voters in romania are now heading to the polls to elect a new parliament a week after a shock. results in the 1st round of the presidential election, controversial far right populist who had been pulling in just single digits one the most of it was in that full and anti establishment parties are expecting a strong showing this time around. the voices have found fertile grounded romania due to a sluggish economic outlook and the high cost of living. it may be one of the european union's pores, country bonds. the nato members strategic importance has increased due to the war and ukraine. i don't when you know your traditional take talk a but the social media platform is credited with helping fall. right. it's kyle in

georgia. screw that we've done with turn off, or are there any sort of setting that came out of nowhere within m t, u and m. c. nato message and swept into 1st place in the 1st round of romania as presidential elections usually, or may not have known as a kid that follows the lead. there's uh, let's say a fear that if you start to just look down into power, or maybe that would become an isolated slits a country. but it's not only for the president, the romanians at voting at the my window that heading back to the post this weekend to cost the balance for the members of parliament. who will decide on the next prime minister on the side of the eastern flank of the un, nato romania shows a border of over 600 kilometers with ukraine. and it has strategic access to the black sea, which is militarily dominated by russia. the nature of military alliance has been bolstering as a base in romania, on the black sea, to be the biggest in europe, to host over 10000 troops by 2030. and the romanian port of con,

spends that has played a major role in exporting ukrainian grain. romania is in many ways, the logistical hub uh for the war and for the ukraine and economy. and this obviously needs to continue. and that's why a, you know, changing government to a person who is our art teacher, president, i should say to a person who is clearly pro russian would be highly, highly did for mental uh, for the ukrainian, the entire war effort, the power sharing system in romanian means the prime minister focuses on domestic policy. the president is in charge of foreign policy in the army under 10 summits. if you lead is in brussels, the position of the country would be very difficult to, to, to, to, to maintain. if there is a big difference between the president and the government, or if the government is a, is a very unstable to coalition,

which could be the case. or if the quotation is led by fall right produced. and this anti may to pro russia of forces and it's up to romanians to decide whether the parliament will also lean right when they go back to the post this weekend. so your opinion is new top team has arrived in ukraine and a symbolic show support for t of the use foreign policy chief guy, a call us and the new head of the european council on tonia. acosta. are in the capital on the very 1st day of their terms in office. the leaders are keen to demonstrate that the block remains firm on back in queue of their visit comes as ukraine struggles defend off a grinding russian offensive. and as the west support is thrown into doubts by donald trump's return to office in january. and that's the latest on the w news. this our up next,

our tech show shift looks at the impact that artificial intelligence is having on the music industry. on marian evans student, i'll have more headlines for you at the top of the hour from me and the entire news team here in berlin. thanks for watching the people in trucks engine trying to see the city center. the straight pieces explain the around the world more than 130000000 people of we

of mine because no one should have to make up your own mind dw, may feel mine's the hey i is causing quite vista in the creative world. it can compose music even produce hits. it can tailor personalized playlists on streaming platforms. we're even seeing robots saying instruments on conducting orchestra's for what role will play in the future of music. i tried to play the piano as a kid, but never really got the hang of it. i programs can learn much more quickly. in the blink of an eye, they can read listen process and analyze any number of musical styles. i can even create songs from scratch with just a single prompt,

but is that real creativity or just plagiarism? many artists fear that the music ideas will be stolen this way. but equally, there are people who are eager to find out what's possible when human beats machine in the music world. for example, it still autos carvette and palostio. she works with open source software and a i tools to generate sounds and images. and it's quite the potty, the music festival in vanessa iris here. kevin palostio before them side by side with the j by then team is very tough. but this is no ordinary d. j set. the electronic music and digital festival tries to push the boundaries and bloodlines between the 2 fields. here. policy you uses a i to program, live visuals, to complement the d. j said the, the, the lab when we deal with the official intelligence in up to its own, that we experience things that are historically in the new for the human species as

well. but i guess it was little minor. the computer scientist uses different a i models for audio visual work. she generates a music with the help of machine learning algorithms when the, when i make on. so i like to think of it as a tree that connect a every single item to load. okay? oh, you have to read this, is that a 3 is a 7 and have a vision of technology and that revisit at the history of women and technology learning and i'm using the computer science in particular. then there's the interested in national technological still printing wireless or with any a signal looks like on a phone on her way. palostio needs access to cutting edge computer technology, which wouldn't be possible here if it went full odds and team is public universities. i'm the high performance i p network go because the volume is jason that i processed. and the technologies i use for my

projects requires scientific computing power from a broad, difficult, the kind i just don't have access to it via because service is all built in dollars . but it will because the necessary hardware doesn't get shipped out to you, or anywhere locally, can you say on advise or that account english. the digital divide between the global north and south is particularly noticeable and artificial intelligence applications. auto select current palostio once a bridge, this divide, but that's not the only bar in tech, but she has to overcome the nose of the some. there is the digital divide and the gender divide actually thought it in. i have to live through several bob situations of exclusion and discrimination in a male dominated environment and everything in the field. and yet all the persevered but i kept going, say i felt for the initial confess unloading will go up trusting and believing that

i could show people that know that it really is possible to play. so, okay, and forcing that doesn't sound easy at all, but kudos to us and making it happen these days, music streaming just wouldn't function properly without a i all major platforms. now, what machine learning, but how a is implemented varies massively to we as uses benefit. this is how it works on spot to 5. 2024 was the us both to find launch. it's brand new, a i d, j. the program to rates music based on the listeners library and listening habits. the d. j might include new releases that you might like all that one song that you were listening to on loop last year. the customer lives playlists on nothing new. but the a, d. j offers much more information about the music spends most genre. well narrated by a synthesized voice,

i got this brand new release to get to the allows a i generate to music on the platform, just as long as no plan for. it says i used without autism consent. soundcloud introduced 9 a. i tools on the platform aimed at musicians and phones like they are designed to make producing music easier. the re mixing bead making or generating vocals and to put minds at rest. soundcloud guarantees that rights holders will be adequately compensated in case of any infringement. the fund, these are the a, i generate to play lists to, but no i, i generate to music. and in addition, music on the platform wouldn't be used to train tools these, it was the 1st music platform to sign a new declaration drafted by office against the use of the music for a i training to this. and the french music streaming service is developing software to quickly identify a i generate took music,

but i won't only be used to detect musical deep fakes. artificially increase streaming numbers are becoming a serious problem for platforms to tricksters can simulate, missing a traffic through a i tools on websites this into and generates more income for the office on the store the chops. but how does this affect us? well, the algorithm is to pay less uh, based on clicks, which means we might be recommended songs that are actually as popular as they see, but have been pushed artificially by books on how can we fight this? well they, i of course, these that for example, as trying to expose bumps like that with machine learning and algorithms and spot to fi is demanding money back from labels and bands that have been caught manipulating streams. but there are some creates as boasting that they use it. so it isn't always a bad thing. this is thank god. yeah. on his own some

a hit but take away the a i created pods. and all that's left or if you come on lines and stuff left to hi, this has been going on. i'm europe's 1st a icing. on the one to mention siding, we want to show people what's possible with a i to a fun guy. it was created by an agency and brain and gemini, with a little help from artificial intelligence. could you be a sign of this, a i product? and what does that mean for real thing as musicians? i, the minutes when i was actually locked, okay. and fi, well next few months. unique is our ability to feel free to create and use it from what we're experiencing. and you have to understand that a, i can't do that a, i can only work with what is given and what has been told to do with them. they cannot develop things independently or come up with its own ideas because it's not

possible on the states. that's what humans have, and we always have over a i, when this is the supposed to be, i just mentioned hom with whom i haven't been in july 2024 been guy. i stepped onto the virtual stage for the 1st time on this 1st song, sunshine sol appeared on instagram, was viewed more than 1200000 times. the reactions range from boring and creepy to rave reviews. i'm sorry, i'm sure i'm back. i used commonly available a i tools to create images, videos and music for ben dia for us. but texting of it's kind of, it's all done by text. the input to publish that can mark areas in a mit during the image of weather in the background or the person themselves. and i can change them by entering textbook for me. in other words, if he is wearing a white t shirt and i can mark it and make it blue or green. so it's relatively easy to generate a good final product from your selective i'm for some negative feelings or flushing

use like software like so, you know what's on the same principle, but it takes a lot of experience to make a voice sound consistent like ben guys for example, in the end human creativity is what counts with or without us official intelligence, or an author official artist, if you will. it seems as long as i hate to stay. what's about the legal aspect, who actually owns in a i sung, the creator, the company that develop the i software, or the artist whose voice has been planned. meanwhile, in the world of classical music, 3 um robot conducted the tv performance just this year. we went to the german city of tristan for its premiere tree. verbal take comes the kinds you might find in the industrial sector. re purpose for conducting an orchestra. here. the bottom makes way for 3 colored lights save as keeping time and the premier of the robot symphony

. especially compose to the occasion. it's a peas. no human could conduct. that's because each robot follows its own beat and tempo. have a lesson. the interesting. the 7 jointed robotic alms move as fluidly as a conductors, but it wasn't without human assets dressed. i'm symphony orchestras, artistic direct to mock us rand, how to teach the robot each movement individually, the pick up. so the one who had to put on a kind of gloves which had various and the tracking sensors on it, but it didn't work very well. and whom one, at some point, i thought we could, we just use the robot itself. and that actually weren't going to happen. so robeteck arm fit around my in my, almost like a 2nd arm and with

a fair amount of resistance, i was able to move it around. he is not, he's a son. oh, couldn't is univision. so the measurements are almost human, but what was it like for the musicians? the biggest difficult thing is to work with the robot arms is that don't give any emotions at all. they don't see what we do know through the template, no to in the mountains and they don't do anything. is just the thing they're doing the beats, which is fine. it's okay. but i mean, the music is so much more without a human conduct to the orchestra is pretty much left to its own devices. the 3 um follow a strict tempo regardless of the orchestras response. that's why we such as from the technical university of jason fund to integrate sophisticated artificial intelligence. got you things of what i know what to say. i play the role when it comes to recognizing the environment and everyone the robot conductor to recognize

how the orchestra rice. i'm saying this and how the respond would be the then we will certainly meet a items. ok. so far, the robot of a more like a sophisticated metro now and then a conductor. but maybe that gap can be bridge by ai, swedish composer and robotics enthusiasts. frederick ground has music or robots play the cello or the violent. some perform with humans. now, like in the symphony orchestra, they even have a robot cellist joining it. so how about you? have you listen to any music, let us know what you think and leave a comment on the one of our videos. and so then see you next time on shift the man nibble see says, blue dies been connecting this week. we

a back in may. julia's capital, a boot just now? $7500.00. that's the number of reports of keeping up in cases in a period of one year in this country. why the situation persist in? they do? yeah. the bottom line is money daddy, some money to cologne with continue using the 77 percent next on d. w. research decline in d b could save months over a month, certainly has been influenced by the banks like this. the reduction of government subsidies, the many markets and electric vehicles taking over. ave the combustion engine is celebrating its come back is the future of e mobility at risk of being 16 minutes on the v w. we are all set and we're watching closely

in to bring you the story behind the news. we wrote about unbiased information for 3 months. the this week on the 77 percent street debate may nibble to says below that, sorry, all those people have been kidnapped in your family. yes, they say that my family keeps people tired. no more. you know that i'm so busy the cup to stop. tell me that cannot be a solution. so you you think that it's ok for people to get mad at just so that the solution can be found him daddy's money? give dad his money because when we continue.
