this town almost every day in the span of the past week. all this might to choose no military objectives, as it pursues non ukraine's artillery is off to civilians and civilian infrastructure here only the short ukrainian militants. they truly kill 2 birds. with one shell is the crater. they obviously targeted this hospital. you can see ambulance vehicles badly damaged, destroyed, and the trap though the bloss way, will it hit this? the apartment block house, some people found themselves crap. some of the daily halo booms, volunteers routinely risk their lives to evacuate. bedridden civilians, the civil. we're from should back in our selves. the situation is dangerous. we're looking for people and rounding them up for evacuation. we've been working on this known stuff for days now. these are the brightest of the times for the ukrainian

military in terms of the long teased counter offensive. it has simply nothing to show for it yet. keep has lost the city of thomas, which it had branded as an impregnable fortress. so it has unleashed its vengeance upon those who it can simply reach and who can't fight back makers, done a reporting from the bell gord region oxy. a resurgence of cold war mentality. that's how the chinese defense minister described the current situation in the asia pacific region after the latest. instead it in the taiwan strait were a chinese navy ship and us destroyer cross pass in. the us military released a video which you can now see on your screen's showing the moment when a chinese worship sailed across the path of an american destroyer and a canadian free gay in the taiwan straits. the us and canada work conducting

a so called freedom of navigation transit of the straits between taiwan and mainland china. the chinese defense minister responded stating that foraging any kind of new western alliances in the region will only escalate the risk of conflicts and the future. the necessary attempts to push for nathan like appliances and the asia pacific is a way of getting nothing original countries and exaggerating conflicts and confrontations, which will only blogs, the asian pacific into a world full of disappears and conflicts. our policy is constant and firm it is held true across the us administration. and we will continue to categorically oppose unilateral changes to the status crow from either side. also, highlight that conflict is neither an eminent or inevitable returns to this phone today. and it's our job to keep it that way. as the american defense boss was

speaking at the recent sign, we loud dialog, somebody, singapore, were us attempts, the gas like the chinese really moved up a gear as far as austin is concerned. the chinese are imagining the hundreds of hostile american naval and air base, and that's around the i'm the latest, provocative us and canadian naval patrol was merely a friendly sight seeing trip chung, who and montreal's bilateral transit through the taiwan strait demonstrates the commitment of the united states and our allies and partners to a free and open in the pacific. the country is concerned deliberately create incidents in the taiwan strait region, deliberately, provoke, risks, maliciously, undermine regional peace and stability, and send the wrong signal to taiwan independence forces. and of course, this is all part of a much bigger strategic picture. what ultimately for mentoring military conflict between china and its territory. taiwan us also knows it needs to escalate its fear

mongering, an empty chinese rhetoric and the wider pacific region in case god forbid, countries like australia and the philippines actually partner with their powerhouse chinese neighbors to work for peace and regional stability. now that would really bother lloyd's bosses in washington. and his old boss is one of america's biggest weapons manufacturers. re fi on the other good. yeah. some countries have been wilfully meddling in the internal affairs of other countries and regions easily impose and you know, that's all sanctions and using force for collision, as well as igniting colored revolutions and proxy wars everywhere. after wreaking havoc in the region, they simply walked away, leaving the mess behind. we must never allow such things to be replicated in the pacific region. but don't forget, when it comes to picking sides. well, posting playing the role of peace maker, the good old usa privately involves one of its favorite geo political monitors. you read a with us or against us, and even be unfortunately named mr. little from well,

little but strategically important new zealand is feeling the pressure. a u. k. u s members have not formally invited new zealand to join them, but the indication has been made that those 3 partners may want to open up opportunities for cooperation on those other non nuclear streams of work. we would want to know what is going to be asked of any partner, is it providing financial commitments? is it providing people in skills? is it committing to procure technology that might be the product of any of that sort of work? so as the us sent us navy thousands of miles across the ocean to convince the chinese that they should limit their influence in the tele, named south china sea. beijing stop soldier had some sage words of advice for the us and its allies to truly void these incidents they bought from having rules that we have to buy is the last result. the best ways for countries there naval vessels and fight digits, not to close in the round other countries, territorial c namespace. what's the point of going there?

what does it have to do directly with your interest to put it our way? mind your own business and take good care of your own people, navy vessels and jets. and while it's on the likely that the us will certainly decide to divert some of its trillion dollar defense spending to help the $40000000.00 unfortunate americans living in poverty. it may soon realize that taking on the chinese dragon in his own back yard is a step too far. particularly when the russian bear they try to do the same with a new crane is still very much alive and kicking. according to joseph mahoney, a professor of politics and international relations at east china normal university, washington is known for repeatedly encouraging separatism in china. timing issue is one of china is gord, interest us preventing taiwanese independence is vital for chinese sovereignty and securities of us has repeatedly encouraged separatism in china, including tibet,

sions, young and hong kong. in a different voice. i encouraged color revolutions. now, this is increasingly been the case with taiwan as well. what's new is that china has emerged as a major power. one that is resisting us a gemini and unilateralism. consequently, the us as advanced a major new and circle met and suppression strategy. with taiwan at the center. now one of the concerns in badging is that the us might try to uh, turns taiwan into the ukraine of asia to bait china into a war that badging would like to avoid if possible the, the war on terror and ask for ca seems to be entering a new phase, as the ugandan president officially confirmed the death of over 50 soldiers on a peacekeeping mission in somalia. the troops were killed by all shall,

by militants in the military base of the african union transition mission. in the country. we discovered the lifeless bodies of $54.00 folding soldiers, including the commander this terrorist attempt to do now the fuel fated attack on barava town. but our forces delta significant blow forcing them to flee. the mistake was made by 2 commanders, one of the soldiers to retreat. they have been upper handed, unable face charges, in the court martial. and the also about the terrorist group has been destabilizing the country and the region for more than 15 years, with the country splits since the 19 ninety's with close links to all kind of the tear group fights against the somali government, often killing civilians and obstructing un humanitarian work, the african union has been conducting peacekeeping missions and supporting the transitional federal government of somalia. since 2007,

the latest measure began in april 2022 and includes forces from barone, digital booty is c o, p, a, tanya and uganda. meanwhile, another terrorist group boca her rom, is causing instability in western africa. 8 people were killed by militants and come a route on tuesday. however, the group is only one of many problems for the country. the the . so it's not easy to sleep in an area where you had gunshots every time. when we came the last time we had shots, the search box didn't find anything. while we were hiding behind the door in the kitchen,

we decided to flee. mileage assist the sub she can sleep there anymore and we have to go to do all the and ask for help. my husband decided to stay in the village live and thats pace would return but late. so it was so hateful to posted on facebook with the mentioned rest and face. that's one. we understood that he was skilled and needs with the whenever we heard gunshots, we ran away to seek refuge. we couldn't wash ourselves for 2 weeks and no food was available. it's very painful. we've seen war, our house burned, my husband killed. it's too much. it hurts. i'm only living because of my kids. i'm tired of crying. look at how the government just forgets about us. here. i beg the

whole world. if they hear us to listen to our cries and help us, we're just begging for a place to stay. because it's not our home here. we uh, we generate a bundle because even i used to watch television. there will you please if you will start that. i see that you get 2 boats, but yet i want to know if you knew what i give to some where i don't know, they don't even know where the we are leaving. and unfortunately, the fight against terrorism is taking a heavy tool in neighboring nigeria with the lives of nearly a 1000 soldiers and policemen claimed by vocal her rob and other groups. terrorist acts over the last 2 years. this comes at a time when nigeria continues to suffer from ongoing ethnic and religious classes resulting in thousands of just as a result of widespread divisions in the country. we spoke with

a former nigerian military officer and security consultant who explained how terrorists recruit volunteers into their ranks using unemployment in the country as a weapon. that includes individuals who have had some level of uh, electric experience. oh, well, no trouble is that spread 0 for always underwrite on the, on the site. your most important thing is you need a job and then it gets into a job. in most cases. yeah. and that's educated. and i mean that you could that now, i mean, west on education, so they cannot really fine and a good job. and so, you know, and then of course those who also have the religious quotation, which of course uh, makes them believe that um, when you key like if you don't know what to buy your car where you do, you have a place and have a sense of 20 the mice really just doesn't much commented. the news just in from

india were another train this time a cargo one has the railed in the same indian state where one of the deadliest train crashes of this century occurred on friday. several wagons of a cargo trained the rail between 2 indians, cities. while loaded with limestone, their no casualties reported as of yet. now this incident comes just 2 days after a disastrous train crash in the same state. according to officials, the incident has been investigated and the cause deducted. the commissioner of railway safety has investigated the matter and release the investigation report. but we have identified the cause of the incident and the people responsible for it happened due to a change in electronic interlocking vo calling get the deadliest dream tragedy in india is recent history. a tragedy that has stopped every corner of the country.

that's tony of 300, with more than a 1000 injured after 3 dreams collided on friday evening it india's eastern steed or for the shop with life must go on. as the rescue operations come to a halt, the teams on the grounds now quickly clear the wreckage to meet we for around 60 of the regular tween roots in the same track. around 15000000 people falling twins in india every day, it really is truly is the lifeline of the nation. yet accidents like these leave a question mark and years of investment. by the way, res engine drummond is done to the new movie wild to bring those responsible to account. the government will leave no stone unturned in treating the injured. those found guilty will be punished severely as it really plots, and i'll be cleared up the story. know, move to the hospitals, where they skills and confusion,

both inside and outside of towards how did you enjoyed all remitted across $24.00 hospitals in amazon, or where the tween tragedy to face. many of them critical you see people with a broken hand or leg, or ribs, or around like what codes the most is a broken family. submitted. the last thing i remember was being on the train. i gained consciousness a while ago, but i don't know where my friends and family are. no one here knows either family members or seems searching for their loved ones inside hospital wants desperately. and then many who don't find loc head to the mortuary, begin go to bundles of pictures of the dead hoping against hope. but some have no luck at the moment you receive the. have looked from us, we brother in at least 20 hospitals. the 3 most tories haven't found in what do i do, but in a deadly deals like this, it's not easy to find

a non so all the right words to comfort these people. run shar mall. audi or dish is really forces have killed $112.00 palestinians in the west bank since the beginning of this year. that's according to the un office for the coordination of humanitarian affairs in palestine. that's along with 43 buildings and east jerusalem. that is really authorities demolished, confiscated or forced people to demolish r t 's. maria, the notion of reports from the west bank are these other last days of the academic year and students of the school in the us and teen small benjamin community, an hour drive from jerusalem in the west bank and her as, as final exams around the corner. but that's not the biggest concern, as by the time the children come back in august,

the school may not. so wouldn't be there. how to city the need and how the civil administration threatened to demolish the school without a court order that, but it backed off due to european pressure and media attention. but now it's in court and things not stable at any moment. it could be demolished. i'm going to be heading. the school was built in 2020, just 2 months on is really authorities issued at demolition older for building without the permits. the building stands in areas see land defined as in palestinian administration, the controlled by israel. the residents of the 17 have not denied the legs to permit. no, did they try? the reason this makes sense. first of all, less than 2 percent of all requests as are approved. it would be a waste of time and money. they say that a small community which has existed for decades is not even registered with the civil administration, which tends not to recognize better in the villages. and 2nd level say it's on private land donated by a palestinian owner for the needs of the kids had the other 3. i need this land

belongs to the community. if we leave the area that is where it is, will take it over the idea of the school with surface heads. the land. they have papers saying is palestinian no matter what area it is in a b, or c or a b, c, it's palestinian city was no solution inside. students have to come hostages. this school is home to 50 boys and girls, age 6 to 15, and they don't just from this community but from neighboring little villages. palestinian ministry of education provided this bus for them to ease the daily routine and to encourage them to come and study parents and teachers say in this school is this kids only chance for education, educational opportunities, or just one of the aspects of what a, as in fact, a bigger baffle at bass overland. so both sides with a ride to include praveen, claiming they are protecting these way with land. accusing the resulting community

of presenting jewish connectivity in the area. the only objective in building this school is done because in the magic bed, the one population to this particular location and they have already established the palestinian all sorts east control. the schools principal doesn't deny that this is one of the reasons, but as they do so, because if they don't, the area will be taken by israeli settlers slowly occupying neighboring hilltops. we found a number of the outpost we've done in his riley flags, certificate cameras, and tractors, calculating the land that was ballasting in just a couple of months ago. the what a lot of the land is, their main goal of the school is a reinforcing factor for locals. it's like we created a school for you to stay in this land and you and your children to the land is what is really, is our targeting of ones. there are no people on it. you can easily take the land, local residency, the settlers presence and aggressive behavior has forced many bad twins to sleep.

there are only 16 families left in the village compared to 452 years ago. i bought a shade. a father of 5 is among those who stayed his family used to live in another place for 20 years ago, due to mount and south or a tags in fear for their lives. they fled to the 17 where history seems to be repeating itself, and the members are not alone, and supposedly only settlers bother as they narrow our grazing areas. when we go up this mountain in front of you, the settlers kicked us away. they also prevented us from reaching water wells, c o s, as it's in the area, they are settling and now they harass us and ask us, what are we're doing here? they tell us to leave, but as time neither he nor his family are ready to give up. we found a boot of sheets oldest daughter starting. she's 16 and can no longer go to a nearby school that faces demolition. she takes a daily joanie of around 7 kilometers h way to a local high school and says it is anything but a pleasant,

a safe trip for grieving. i'm almost as i go to the distance between 2 villages, through the mountains, in rain mug or under the sun, i paused the main road with an as rainy ministry check point. the way they look at me when i stand on the street side will waiting for the cause to pa, sir, i can cross literally, it's a look of hatred. it's mine. why is she here? what is she doing here? it's unbelievable, but it's ok. we finish the us safely. a flat, something's cool is demolished, nor is little brothers and sisters will have to join her every day to reach the nearest school at hard admission to fulfill for the little ones. but no one is optimistic, even without a school. she believes life itself is a good teacher for palestine and feeds her life is hard and turbulent and has brought her to a point where she realizes she has to make a change. she's now starting to become a journalist, mary, from ocean i'm t. so i'm attempting in the palestine administration, that's her up on the hour,

but coming up the rise of killer robots and how they may be the soldiers of the future. it's not time selection, but perhaps reality. next, i'm modus operandi. thanks for tuning in. we'll see you back at the top, the hour, the the hello, i'm the miller chan. you're tuned into modus operandi. the pentagon calls them autonomous systems, but most average citizens refer to them simply as killer robots. but the wars of tomorrow are about more than just a systems doing the killing. this we will explore how technology is shaping the new landscape of warfare. all right, let's get into the m o the

if you're the u. s. is real germany, france, and so forth. you're not modeling through the conflict and ukraine. now, you're looking ahead 102030 years into what the battle field might look like that. here in the u. s, the pencil gone, has invested billions of dollars into the development of a i and other so called smart weapons. that won't require much manpower in future conflicts, whether it's autonomy, drones program to seek out individuals on a terror list or by tech that aids in existing conventional warfare technology is the new tip of the spear when it comes to war. and for more on how technology is shaping the future of war, we are being joined by in con,

he is a futurist and emerging technologies expert. and thanks for being with us. first, the deputy defense secretary kathleen hicks said in her official press release that quote, the directive was established to minimize the probable lity and consequences of failures in autonomous and somebody autonomous weapon systems that could lead to on intended engagements. and what are she implying here that a i might go rogue and start killing everything in its path? i mean, the unintended engagement part is quite disconcerting. and so we have to realize that the state of artificial intelligence right now is at a place where it's not perfect, it's not sent in. and it's, it's not fully develop. we're still working with how it works and you know how it's deployed when it comes to military usage and usage and war and,

and situations like that. are, you really can't take a risk. and what you really meant by that statement is not there needs to be a safe guard, and jayce technology goes wrong, just like your, your computer sometimes malfunctions what happens if an e, i enabled missile or a system or anything goes wrong and it stops working or it just something that's something that it's not supposed to. what's the backstop? how do we, how do we make sure that we stop it? and that's what's really in, in the meaning of that. it just means we're creating a little bit of risk awareness, a little bit of a way to control things. if they don't not go the way we want them to go. so what does the future of warfare look like to you in the eyes of a futurist and, and when i mean, will it be a distant future? will it be a i versus a i on the battlefield? so the distant future and e i n warfare is, is, is a difficult topic,

but water is the reality of the world we live and unfortunately, oh, the future, you really can't predict what's going to happen on one hand, if you have technology fighting technology, then you know, just like a game of automatic and computer to computer chess. maybe there's uh, 2 types of a i fi to each other, but i really see that as a scenario, not happening. i do however, see that countries that have enough technology that have progressed with their usage of a i that have deployed artificial intelligence in warfare to have certain advantage because of advanced systems. i operate or less systems and really taking of people in human beings out of the region where artificial intelligence can operate different kinds of equipment, different kinds of artillery. uh, you know, it was a fighter planes and what have you. i really feel they would be no need for people to be in the battlefield. and if that battle is really happening, where, where to,

you know, to the people the 2 parties are clashing. but um, and that's one scenario. another scenario is that a, i based systems will, will attack the digital systems off other countries. for example, the future might be full of uh, something called digital cities or smart cities, or cognitive cities that are run by artificial intelligence that are full of technology, which acknowledge you use, do a taken care of all the infrastructure of transportations drones, buildings and so on. and then a, i would be able to attack those cities digital needs and cripple those cities. think about a nuclear power plant. think about crippling the electricity system or any other system that runs the infrastructure off a city or a or a country crippling. those would be catastrophic to many of them. and that's what's what the future of warfare looks like. and it's not just physically harming and

destroying cities, but digital, the crippling cities and countries in order to, to give the advantage. what does that be? something of a bloodless war where it's just basically robots destroying other robots. and let's talk about money. there's huge money being dumped into a ton of us weapon systems all around the world. what countries are spending the most, who or, or what companies are the movers and shakers in this eco system when it comes to how much money is being spent on technology warfare of artificial intelligence. and really this new era of, of war that's powered by technology. i mean, we have to look at, we have to look at the big tech uh, worldwide of who are the companies that are reinventing technology and, and creating technology that can be used in the, in, in a war machines in, in,

in battle and to power systems that are being produced by companies that produce their souls, aircrafts and so on. and so for and tanks and so on. up the companies that are producing equipment and gear and separately needs technology now to to power their machines in order to be battle ready for this new battle in one way. as we're still talking about physical battle and going into the battlefield. up on the other hand, companies that are producing a high technology, i think will be the ones that will dictate how their technology will be used, where it will be used. and so if you even look at the examples off autonomy, jones, or operator drones, drones that are operated by uh, by an operator. that technology that started with started uh, you know, a 2025 years ago. but it started being used in warfare in, in afghanistan, iraq, and other places of, of the world who does really become popular for,

for some countries to use drones, in order to not send people in there. and to remotely do what they need to do. now when we talk about artificial intelligence, it's a little bit more complex because a i, as a technology, is, has to work with a lot of data and a lot of information to learn about the terrain, to learn about maneuvering, to learn about a 100000000000 things in order to work successfully, and that is where technology comes in play. that is where a deep learning machine learning concepts come into play. and those things will be done by the companies that produce technology that produce a lot of some companies. i mean, we can talk about technology companies that are out there in the world, starting from a google microsoft alibaba of 5th row. you got hundreds of millions of companies that are doing incredible work and not naming just any one of them. but everybody who's developing a i is

a contributor to the future of warfare. anybody who's remotely developing even.
