c is real defense forces begin using artificial intelligence to select or stripe targets and ballast and insert the around the clock across the world. this is our teacher now still, let's get into our top story. this rushes accused you crate of committing a terrorist attack on the crime in bridge which has left 2 people dead and a young girl injured this monday. all traffic on the key roots house being hosted, a local journalist is off the scene on sentence this report at the doctor today at about 3 o'clock in the morning. there was an incident on the crime in bridge, namely in the area of the 100 and 45th pillar on the side of the cross, not our region. it is already been officially confirmed that there are dead and
6:02 am
injured. a husband and wife were killed and their small child was taken to hospital with severe injuries. around 3 in the morning, coach residents heard sounds similar to 2 explosions, followed by the housing of a siren, and loud speakers telling everyone to evacuate the crimea bridge. it was immediately closed and traffic formed both the tim on the side and from the courage side. traffic police were immediately deployed and they sent all those wishing to cross the courage straight to nearby settlements to wait for further information. as of 10 o'clock this morning, the kerchief very crossing has already resumed its work. and i'm now at the cities airport. we're an emergency base will be set up before today's incident, only laurie's were parked here waiting for their turn to be checked and carried across. motorist will now be asked to bring their vehicles here where authorities plan to organize an operational headquarters where they will issue special certificates of health and form twos and direct all cars to the ferry crossing that
6:03 am
that was also employees of the administration of courage reported that they will equip a waiting area with everything necessary for those stranded. there will be food, water, and toilets. another headquarters will be set up to inform on the situation and help people choose the best route to go from crimea to the mainland of the russian federation. from a guy who was on russia's investigative committee has opened a criminal probe into today's attack on the bridge. it say's its preliminary findings showed the incident was carried out by the premium special services or a correspondent donald porter discussed with me earlier what occurred. we've now got official confirmation from both russia's investigative committee and russia's anti terrorism committee that this was, in fact a terrorist attack carried out by key ups forces using drones. we also heard from the russian foreign ministry spokeswoman actually, maria's har, about who echoed the findings of these reports. she said that the key of government
6:04 am
is a terrorist regime propped up by the u. k. and the us, today's attack on the crimea bridge was carried out by the key of regime, which is a terrorist regime and has all the science of an international organized criminal group. decisions are made by ukranian officials and the military with the direct participation of american and british intelligence agencies and politicians. the united states and britain are leading a terrorist state structure of these statements actually came not too long after the 1st train. uh, since this terrorist attack took place successfully crossed over the crimea bridge . and actually we've got footage on your screen right now. that was taken by one of the passengers. and one of those 1st trains that were able to get over the crime in bridge. and what we're looking at why this video is significant is because it seems to confirm what the russian transport ministry was saying about the fact that only the road on the bridge was actually seriously damaged. that's despite reports
6:05 am
earlier going on. but i'm confirmed, of course they were saying that there was some sort of critical damage made it towards the foundation of the bridge. so now we know that the, that was, these reports were inaccurate. now in terms of what people were saying around around the time of this attack, ukrainian media actually was earlier before these official confirmations came out. your brain and media was saying that this indeed was a ukrainian attack carried out by drones. they said this as well before we got official confirmation that this was a terrorist attack from the russian authorities, but we also heard the head of the crime in parliament. actually acute is ukraine of just exactly what we've heard in these official statements as well. he said that this was a ukrainian terrorist attack, especially because of the fact that this bridge is essentially a civilian installation. and the, the, the head of the crime in parliament said that there is no way the ukrainians would not have known that they would have been exclusively civilians on this bridge at
6:06 am
this time in the middle of july it's, it's a peak holiday season. monday morning. people coming to and from the crime in peninsula i really popular tourist destination and all not perhaps we believe to holidaymakers. we can't confirm whether they were on holidays, but we know a couple are debt. that's correct. unfortunately, we have official confirmation, specifically from the governor of russia's builder and reaching out to people were killed. they were a couple, a mother and a father. and the authorities are trying to get in touch with their relatives. not just to inform them of this unfortunate to this tragedy, but also the fact that another tragedy took place, their daughter was in the car with them and she was injured as a result of this attack. she's right now in hospital being looked after a by doctors we've actually read and reports that she's not in critical condition. dr. middle middle condition. there was another attack in october of last year where like you said, the ukranian authorities did not come out to confirm it. it's only after the
6:07 am
following months that we started seeing ukrainian officials, ukrainian media personality is coming out and essentially owning up to the fact that they carried out this attack essentially couldn't be denied. exactly. everybody was completely undeniable. and their justification was that this was some sort of military target because they claimed that the russian military was using this bridge a to supply troops in the crank conflict. but i mean the only people who died in that previous attack as well were civilians. 5 civilians were killed in that terrorist attack. and again, we're seeing 2 people civilians killed and another young girl, unfortunately injured as a result of that. so it just looks like a keeps after this bridge and they're willing to go to any lengths to destroy it, even terrorism. well, sherman of the state council, the republic of crimea believes that tara tech was able to divert paying attention from the recent. and they so summit, which essentially rejected ukraine on the,
6:08 am
on the success of results for kids from the front like quite easily ski decide to attack these bridge to shift the focus to what happened to failed nato summit. the post and one step away from a blog that it developed. it's andy rush, it strategy where there is less and less room for zalinski is team. they're also no accomplishments on the front line, which is very bad for by the domestic and international agenda. because they seem to have been given enough weapons, but they don't know how to use them and it doesn't work that way. now they're happy that they manage the damage the bridge guided by the logic that give us more weapons and we would she be even more in order to stay in political power and maintain the support of the people? it's necessary to fill the information agenda for this some kind of events needed in this case a terrorist attack. thus the terrace nature of the zalinski regime, letting me increase, which is a big challenge for russia and crime in the terrace act itself is complex to imagine drones that go through the entire black sea. this is technically nothing easy task. they did it without the western instructors and the west. i'll pretend
6:09 am
to be surprised as if they knew nothing. well, we've been collecting some research reaction to what to happen, including from a think tank. remember the global policy institute, george zamarelli, who believes the main goal of the attack was to demoralize the russian people, the russian government is correct. i think it's a terrorist attack. i mean, is it gets a war crime, the goal of any such terrorist attack? and i think is the, the goal, there's a particular attack is to cause uh, demoralization, uh, add a sense of how this list along the russian people with a view to provoking further political and military crisis within russia. they to us, the objective is to uh, bring about the collapse and distance expiration of russia. it's not so much that they want you brains when they want russia to collapse and therefore any such
6:10 am
attacks and it will be more, it's acts, whether it's on the bridge or attacks on the kremlin or terrorist attacks. and most of the way more such as the goal is to cause demoralization the kremlin spokes person has confirmed all the go see ations regarding the renewal of the black sea green deal, which is due to expire today between russia and ukraine, have quote, practically stopped the last 45, no 2 are corresponded yesterday asking for more on this high yes and take us through the kremlin and 9 spend on what it means then for the future of the green d. or in a sense, it does come as a bit of a surprise. however, taking a look at the kremlin track record, and it could also be announced as something as not a surprise. over the past year, the kremlin has renewed the grange you about 3 times and back in october. last year
6:11 am
. it did briefly suspend the green deal, citing certain concerns and adverse results on the field. and in an attempt to, to have russia sit back at the table and continue that deal. the united nations essentially agreed to a number of do um, concessions shall i say. so to ensure that russia also got something out of the do how, what the united nations essentially agreed to were terms of that were set when the deal was initially brokered. with that being said to the initial thing that brought them back to the table was a v, a facilitation of russian foods and fertilizer products, and the exports of said products. that's not to say that russia doesn't have other demands. the other demands do also include the russian, i will cultural bank being reconnected to the swift international payment system. this is crucial, of course the united nations did initially ensure that much of these exports were to be facilitated, but much of the products payments and the logistics were to be done by that payment
6:12 am
system. of course, the united nations did recently issue a statement saying that they would reconnect said bank to the payment system and then attempt to, to compromise and persuade russia to sit back at the table. so it's a bit of a hit and miss. although, even if the greenville does not renew today, that does not necessarily mean that there is no hope for the future. but that does also mean that russia has concerns that, that must be met, essentially is what it translates. yeah, you mentioned the russian fertilizers, how big of a problem or a sticking point for the extension of the deal was not because, you know, you have needy country seeking the ability to feed themselves, not just accept grain which is needed to but that's not being allowed there rushes not being allowed to explore those 2, those nations of the. so there are a number of issues with respect to the 1st thing is early in the year of 2022.
6:13 am
during the initial stages of the conflict about 400000 tons of fertilizer was stranded in european ports. so that was also one of russia's demands, is i need to ensure that you can facilitate those exports to africa, agreed by russia, in a way, a show of mutual respect to that they would be given away, or at least in a sense, donate to charity, to those that really need it. but another big issue is of course, of the export of ammonia. this is a huge deal for russia. about 2500000 tons are transferred from its pipeline to the rest of the world. and the export particular ammonia is of course used in fertilizer, which in turn of course helps grow crops. and i will call true a products. and there are other sanctions also implemented against the russian states that being sanctions against agricultural machinery and spare parts. but most importantly, of course, is that most of these demands,
6:14 am
the government says we're not mets. and that posed a huge issue. another big issue that the kremlin did state over the past year has been that the united nations, the way that it initially advertised the grading deal was that there were so many low income countries in need of this a deal. now, although it did have an effect on lower global fuel prices, according to un statistics, only 3 percent of low income countries were actually able to get their hands on the grain that was exported from ukraine. 44 percent were also exported to high income countries and the rest were essentially exported to other middle income country. so there's a lot that needs to be discussed and a rush of stance on the matter could be just that. it just a brief note while we have your speaking from my son bowl only a few days ago with a turkish president said quote, he's on the same page as his russian counterpart over the extension of the deal. so what does this use?
6:15 am
yes and mean really, for, entre it's well, initially when it's taken into account the characters that are involved, the turkish presidents, relative type ad one and russian president vladimir putin shirts. similarities and how they conduct business. and that is, of course, for example, in the case of the turkish presidents with respect to sweden joining nato. it's been a big argument. it's been a big selling point. and the on cut his position in the matter was to get as much as it can essentially as part of a broker deal. and the same could be said for the russian president's um, now on, got a statement of course did initially say that they have hope we could assume at 1st glance that it's a diplomatic approach. but it could also translate to, even if this deal does not renew tonight, that the 2 liters cannot come together and discussing, negotiate other terms for another. do. okay,
6:16 am
thanks very much for taking this tool. that's archie correspondence. yeah. say that i can live for missed on full well earlier this week, rushes president said the global spike stuff have been seen in agricultural prices were not caused by the conflict, the new frame, but rather mistakes made by western leaders regarding the economy and energy sectors. loved them are put in the also said the un broker deal had not delivered starving nations to help they were a problem. it at once, as of the so called green deal was justified by the desire to support the poorest countries. i have already said many times, out of the entire volume of shipments from ukraine, primarily green exports, just over 3 percent actually went to the world's forest countries. the rest went to the well fed, prosperous europe you. despite this, with made good will decisions to extend the deal numerous times, but enough is enough so that we are now being told to agree to the extension. once more saying this time the promises will be fulfilled. we'll think about it. we have
6:17 am
a few more days we'll think about what to do is we can always go to welcome live onto the program political level. as joel campbell act senior editor for the issue in the site site, you are most welcome indeed. so down there we have, it's the de la black sea green deal is due to expire at today this evening. that looks at to be shots that it's going to happen to meet your pest golf decrepit spokes person. sitting at old talks, all local stations practically have, have stopped. are you surprised? i'm not surprised on mister pest cost you use the word practically. and any time that any discussion of the black sea green initiative has been in the public domain, and specifically as governments, turkey, a russian federation, ukraine, european union, united states, etc. anyone's been talking about it,
6:18 am
they're always using words that allow maneuverability and so, you know, technically, the agreement expires at midnight. likely, you know, will expire, but also likely based on, you know, the past 3 rules that something is going to be worked out. primarily the, you know, the main issue right now has to do with the russian agra bank. reconnect this with the european union. the us, their proposal is let's create a subsidiary. the russian federation says no, it's just racked with aggravating. i would also offer those a ton activity and unfortunate connectivity with respect to today's attack on the bridge and the timing for the renewal of the black sea green initiative from a military perspective for the ukranian government. as
6:19 am
a lapse in the initiative would not necessarily be a bad thing because it does open up a lot more targets because you don't have to worry about reports. you don't have to worry about it intercepting any vessel. you don't, you can just basically, you know, the armed forces can focus not only on the bridge, but focus on the crime in credentialer as well as other areas of russian federation from the russian federation perspective. not having the black sea grainy district offered in does allow them some more flexibility to attack areas on in ukraine. so, you know, the sad part is the, the ones who don't benefit are those countries that are on the receiving end of the agricultural commodities. but know from a military's perspective and we get, there is some, you know, interest in terms of why would you make this attack today,
6:20 am
as the russian federation is deciding what to do. pretty much knowing that despite any comments to the contrary, that there is no connectivity between the 2 events. there is connectivity between the 2 of us. very interesting. i actually wanted to ask about the timing of that, but you've gone through that in detail. thanks for that. most school john has never confirmed that it would just continue with the green deal unless the requirements that were hummer dollar by all those parties a year ago were met. they were not met. so, why didn't western doctors in general, just assume this was going to prolong, if they're part of the agreement, they're part of the pack. what was not, was not that allowed to happen. and i think the, you know, the general assumption is always been for both russian federation and ukraine. it's about leverage and about how you look in the global stage. no,
6:21 am
for the russian federation. even though the terms of the agreement have not been met, it's still benefited by the perception or in nations. the reality that it wasn't blocking agricultural, commodity exports to countries, particularly on the african continent and the middle east. the americans, countries that are financially economically or are in distress. now as you're your correspondents and not all of this, all these agriculture commodities are going to for country it's, you know, we know that, but some of it is. so the russian federation benefits from that at the same time, ukrainian government benefits because they're able to say, look, you know, yes, we're more, but we're, we're not standing in the way. one of the problems though is banned that ukrainians and been creative, and the global marketplace has been created by finding routes from what would
6:22 am
be the ports in ukraine and moving agricultural commodities for that are ukranian sourced on trip over land railway as well as the danube so it's more expensive, it's less efficient, but they're able to do it. and so for the russian federation that makes the decision a little bit easier because say, hey, wait a minute. this is unfair to us. we're not getting what we agreed to. and you're able to make this sort of work anyway. so just how big of an impediment it is? i'm going to guess so that there is going to be some time and it will be renewed. don't. thanks, as always, great to speak to political as john campbell, senior editor for the issue, insight site manufacture. you know, the front lines of the conflict we go, are you printing military strongholds and, and munitions, death, o, and done by us, been destroyed. the russian forces deployed the funds,
6:23 am
multiple rocket launch system knows that to us one, sold some bill. it's a powerful type of weapon. those highly movable and considered a priority targets for the enemy. the system being deployed in the done yes, republic is designed for use against fortifications, trenches and bunkers on the battlefield, provides cover for the actions of assault motorized rifles units conducting a sweep of the area may role in the neighboring lu ganske republic. snobbish from russia's month battalion a unit from church there. i've been holding their positions at nights against your brains attempted offensive. ortiz, senior correspondent, broadcast div reports from the broad a russian sniper lays in them. bush, 3 ukrainian soldiers outlay mines. have walked into a trap. it's just the
6:24 am
it's almost like something else of a child's imagination. here we are in the pitch black forest without any sooner route. and there are very real buoy me in here. they on the pedal in the close at the ons imagine these out very, very much real snipers so you can spot you from 6700 raises with a good range for a good start. but and they said, wait for hours and hours for someone to make a mistake, to prove that heads out to, to show themselves and they strike. and then they've gone. the 1st thing they teach in sniper school is the stipends best weapon, isn't his rifle. it is fear itself to find out who i need is an i my to put time in scouts. come on the he along with his squad,
6:25 am
met with us just hours before they sprung that bush. that's out of the tower. scouts have sided, a group of enemies for in all likelihood mining the forest that are great for getting out of their trenches at nights we're going to explain to them that they really should know. of course, after the initial ambush, they set off to confirm the keels good people with workers or i mean for
6:26 am
you to see what you what if it doesn't and the get you guys is important. let's either of itself that so you've made concept. yeah. what happens after they realize it's you, you some, they start firing blindly and most of the time they don't even know where the shots came from. these firefights usually last about 2 minutes. what they do is bring out the artillery and start firing at the area where their own side just wants, without even knowing whether they are guys are still alive or not to critically include. every few nights i eat that, his squad, repeat this shaggy mass of camouflage and guns,
6:27 am
but the gradient troops has become unlikely nightmare for i guess the odyssey for believing i knew gone, screeching the okay to another. but headlines stories, which is generally the quite a lot of interest today as the situation in the middle east turns increasingly bullet time. israel has reportedly begun using artificial intelligence to choose targets for strikes. the system is said to be able to process large amounts of data before deciding what the the military won't comment on specific operations. official say that it now uses an a recommendation system that can crunch huge amounts of data to select the targets for air strikes and suing raids can then be rapidly assembled with another artificial intelligence model called fire factory, which uses data about military approved targets to calculate munition loads
6:28 am
prioritize and assigned thousands of targets to aircraft and drones and propose the schedule. well, we've all seen the movies or killer robot stalk, a post apocalyptic world, trying to eradicate human kind science fiction royce. well, maybe not. it seems there's big money to be made in the development of the sale of what developers politely call autonomous weapon systems. not in reality translates into killer machines. and it seems the far closer than you think. alarm bells over the latest form of artificial intelligence generates a i r, deafening. and they are loudest from the developers who designed it. the scientists and the experts have called on the world to act, declaring d, i. and as a central threat to humanity on par with the risk of nuclear war, we must take these warning seriously. of course, while it's not only israel, that's now using artificial intelligence to essentially kill more efficiently.
6:29 am
america's key, while you in the middle east, that's for trillions of dollars of us weapons certainly seems to be top of the class when it comes to accelerating disc, we're in technology and the huge profit that it could deliver. there is no time to lose. the state of israel must set itself a clear goal to become one of the 3 they did not division intelligence powers in the world by 2030. while web easy with congress, political crisis, corals, and then tell and boy codes the world is origin forward with technology, but he's going to change reality as we know it's, everyone understands that whoever misses the revolution will remain relevance, like holes, don't carriage driver in the erode costs, so the fed cuts in charge of the vast western military industrial complex. i know also in the driving seat when it comes to technology that could potentially determine if you live or die. relax, i'm sure the right to the lives of ordinary civilians are far more important to
6:30 am
them than their profit margins, right. the while the rise of killing machines that we want to stop along firmly in front of the movies seems inevitable. it's also likely that there will be plenty of unfortunately unemployed. people to keep the bottle feels fed at the same technology that puts so many risk will also put them out of work. according to what estimates around 4 to 7 percent of total us employment is in the high risk category referred to these as tops of trees. these are jobs we expect could be ultimate. it's relatively soon.
