00:00:11We are back in the world now, I am Maria Angulo and it is a pleasure
00:00:1616 of the to accompany you. We are going to review the news stories.
00:00:20Donald Trump denounced a supposed sick
00:00:23conspiracy against artificial
00:00:26will have in the future and to everything intelligence, in the face of growing concern about the alleged
00:00:31the geological conditions multilateralism within the framework of risks. The autonomy of AI, the US president assured that the
00:00:34only control or safeguard that AI
00:00:37needs is a strong and
00:00:39intelligent president.
00:00:42The conflict in Yemen intensifies. The Houthi rebels
00:00:45reported that they launched dozens of missiles and drones over Saudi
00:00:49Arabia, which supports the Yemeni opposition
00:00:52forces. The Houthis, backed by Iran,
00:00:56are expanding their control in the Red Sea, which leads to a...
00:01:00rise in oil prices.
00:01:03Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland unite to claim their
00:01:07right to self-determination and
00:01:10threaten to secede from the United Kingdom. The
00:01:13leaders of the three nations reaffirmed this Monday in a
00:01:17joint statement that the time of Westminster is
00:01:21coming to an
00:01:21end.
00:01:34We begin this broadcast with Donald Trump, who says that very
00:01:38negative forces are acting against artificial
00:01:41intelligence, this while concerns are growing about the
00:01:45misuse of AI and the so-called development frontier with
00:01:49models with capacity for autonomy, but also to
00:01:52threaten cybersecurity and to cause serious
00:01:55economic disruptions. The CEO
00:01:58of Anthropic presented a three-step proposal to
00:02:03the city of Saada, in increase security levels. The details in the following report by Jesus
00:02:07Yajure.
00:02:09Donald Trump dismisses AI risks and accuses
00:02:13a conspiracy against its development. The president stated that
00:02:16the United States already has regulatory power over this technology
00:02:20and that China would benefit if its advance were
00:02:23curbed. We already have enormous
00:02:26occurred eh what criminal and regulatory power over these companies.
00:02:28show total solidarity with There is a sick conspiracy underway against AI and data
00:02:32centers, and the only one who is happy about it
00:02:33eventuality, the is China. The debate and apocalyptic fears that
00:02:37superintelligence could threaten humanity, arose after the
00:02:41resignation of an Anthropic researcher, creator of
00:02:44Claude. Those who develop AI believe it could
00:02:47wipe us all out before the decade ends. Many high-level executives
00:02:52great mission develop in and researchers temper their statements in the press to appear sensible, but in
00:02:54specifically in La Guaira private I hear those same people
00:02:58express their fear, no other human
00:03:00activity poses a danger of such
00:03:02magnitude.
00:03:04The message triggered a crisis
00:03:07weaponry, but these have also taken control of that led to a near consensus on the call to control the pace of
00:03:10development of cutting-edge artificial intelligence. Dario Amodei, head
00:03:14of Anthropic, warned that the sector has lied about the risks and that
00:03:18advances are coming faster than anticipated. In addition, he proposed
00:03:21three steps to safely manage advances without losing the
00:03:25advantage against China. The plan, which calls for setting the pace of the
00:03:29frontier. development, foresees integrating independent auditors in
00:03:32the creation of models, cooperation between companies and
00:03:35governments to create unified standards, and global
00:03:39coordination to establish security levels, even with authoritarian
00:03:42regimes. Amodei's main rivals and competitors in the
00:03:46sector, such as Sam Altman of Open AI and Elon
00:03:50Musk of xAI, publicly supported the proposal, which is already
00:03:54rejected by China, which calls the calls to curb artificial
00:03:57intelligence a war tactic.
00:04:02And we continue with this topic because
00:04:05leader Donald Trump also assured that we are facing a sick conspiracy against artificial
00:04:08intelligence.
00:04:11built then, for example, in According to the US president, the
00:04:13reinforcements, the execution of only control that the rise of AI needs is the management of a
00:04:15strong leader. This he said after some technology
00:04:19executives called for a slowdown in the development of artificial
00:04:22intelligence. Precisely to analyze this panorama,
00:04:26we previously connected with the lawyer specializing in artificial
00:04:30intelligence, Rodolfo Tesón.
00:04:33Unfortunately, we cannot be optimistic, this call this
00:04:36weekend, which is one more, let's remember that since August
00:04:402023, the great fathers, the great gurus
00:04:44along with the main laboratories
00:04:46already promulgated a consensus, an agreement to be able
00:04:50to stop, to slow down the pace, and since August
00:04:532023 we have been in an absolutely exponential
00:04:56growth, therefore, it is neither credible nor
00:04:59viable, unless there is a great international
00:05:03agreement, unless in the context of corporations,
00:05:06but what is more important, in the geopolitical
00:05:10context, in this case two superpowers that want
00:05:13to take advantage of artificial intelligence to be able to
00:05:17lead the world, to be able to lead this new era, we
00:05:20find that it is they who have to agree and
00:05:23unfortunately everything indicates that between Donald Trump and
00:05:27Xi Jinping, between the United States and China there is no
00:05:30agreement because what they want is a struggle, hence it is
00:05:33absolutely fundamental to restore the balance of
00:05:36power that we had after the Second World
00:05:40War, in a context of
00:05:43the United Nations, where there were agreements in the context of the
00:05:47Cold War that allowed us at least a minimum coexistence,
00:05:51a minimum peace, such as the nuclear non-proliferation
00:05:54treaty, well, artificial intelligence
00:05:58is at this moment equivalent to that potentiality, without
00:06:01a doubt there are immeasurable benefits for all of
00:06:04humanity, but of the same magnitude there are also risks,
00:06:08so that if we do not address them in a coordinated manner on that
00:06:12global playing field it is useless and we are
00:06:15heading for catastrophe, tragedy. Let's go to
00:06:17Yemen where the fighting continues. The Houthis
00:06:21claimed this Monday to have launched dozens of missiles and drones
00:06:24against Saudi Arabia. In one
00:06:28week, the Houthis have seized a large part of the Red Sea
00:06:32coast and the islands of the Bab El Mandeb strait, which is
00:06:36considered strategic for world trade and an alternative to the
00:06:39unstable Strait of Hormuz. Before
00:06:43this lightning offensive, government forces and their ally
00:06:46Saudi Arabia have responded, but who are the Houthis
00:06:49and what do they represent, what are they fighting for, the details in the
00:06:53following
00:06:57report, gigantic crowds, demonstrations of force and an unequivocal
00:07:00slogan, this is what the Houthis are like.
00:07:12In northwestern Yemen, around
00:07:16the 1990s. The movement called Ansar Allah
00:07:19founded by Badr al-Din al-Houthi, rose to denounce
00:07:23discrimination against his community. 10 years later, one of
00:07:26his sons, Abdel Malek, took the reins and transformed the group into a
00:07:30powerful political and military force.
00:07:33Our position in Yemen is to support the Islamic Republic of Iran and
00:07:37the Iranian Muslim people and
00:07:41them. We are fully prepared for any
00:07:46movement has tens of thousands of fighters, currently
00:07:49they control a third of the country in which 60% of Yemen's population
00:07:53lives, territory conquered at the cost of a bloody civil war,
00:07:57confronting Yemeni government forces backed by Saudi
00:08:00Arabia, the Houthis are part of the so-called Shiite axis of resistance,
00:08:03the military alliance commanded by Iran that counts among its ranks Hamas in the
00:08:07Gaza Strip or Lebanese Hezbollah. The Iranians
00:08:11have developed. The Houthis' capabilities in terms of
00:08:14drones, projection of political power, ballistic
00:08:19the institutions of the Yemeni state, therefore they constitute a kind of
00:08:23hybrid militia, they have state resources and
00:08:26administer territory in northern Yemen, currently representing
00:08:30an important asset for Iran. At the end of
00:08:332023, the militia intensified its military activity in the Middle East,
00:08:37launching drone and missile attacks against dozens of cargo ships crossing the Red
00:08:41Sea towards the Suez Canal, after years of war, the country
00:08:45is still going through one of the most serious humanitarian crises in the world, according to the
00:08:48UN. US President
00:08:52Donald Trump stated that Ukraine and Russia agreed to refrain from
00:08:55attacking their energy infrastructures. Trump's
00:08:58statement comes after NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte also
00:09:02stated this Monday that Russia is desperate, this
00:09:06after a Russian drone attack was registered against a
00:09:09Ukrainian passenger train near
00:09:12the border with Poland, let's see what the
00:09:18said.
00:09:18The attack yesterday against a passenger train in
00:09:23Ukraine shows how desperate
00:09:27Putin has become, he believes he can prevent us from supporting Ukraine and undermine
00:09:31our unity, he is wrong, our response is to increase support for Ukraine so
00:09:34that it has what it needs to
00:09:36defend itself.
00:09:42Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland united to claim
00:09:46their intention to become independent from the United Kingdom. The leaders of
00:09:50the three countries reaffirmed from Cardiff in a joint statement that
00:09:54was issued this Monday, their right to
00:09:56self-determination. They stressed that the future of these three
00:10:00territories is in the European Union. The declaration
00:10:03comes just two days after Donald Trump, from Dublin,
00:10:07assured that he would love to see the Irelands
00:10:10reunified. We expand. in the following
00:10:13report. The independence processes once again
00:10:16put British unity at risk. This Monday, the political leaders of Scotland,
00:10:20Northern Ireland and Wales, the three territories that together with England form the
00:10:24United Kingdom. indicated their right to self-determination, opening the
00:10:27door again to the possibility that they could
00:10:30eventually become independent.
00:10:33For the first time in history there are first ministers in Scotland, Wales and
00:10:37Northern Ireland, who believe that their countries must decide their own
00:10:40future, and that principle of self-determination is absolutely
00:10:44fundamental to the debates we have had today and that will be
00:10:47fundamental to the debates we
00:10:51that the future holds for us.
00:10:55I believe that Wales will prosper as a nation when we make the decision to become an
00:10:59independent nation that collaborates with others. The
00:11:03last link in the chain of a long history of decisions of the kingdom, which controlled
00:11:07colonially huge amounts of land in North America, Asia and
00:11:10Africa, calling itself the empire where the sun never sets,
00:11:14territories that later, after independence processes, became countries
00:11:18such as India, Canada or South Africa, in the British Isles the voices calling for
00:11:21separation are not new either. In Ireland several organizations.
00:11:25fought during the 20th century a bloody confrontation seeking the unification of the country
00:11:29with Northern Ireland, where the Sinn Féin party still advocates for the
00:11:32merger, while Scotland after years of complaints against English
00:11:36rule, held an independence referendum in 2014 in which
00:11:39the no vote won by around 400,000 votes.
00:11:42Likewise, in Wales, the feeling of dissatisfaction with London has been
00:11:46growing according to polls in recent years, political positions that come at
00:11:50a time when countries like Argentina question the sovereignty of territories colonized
00:11:54by the British. such as the Falkland Islands, currently the Crown
00:11:57controls 14 overseas territories around the
00:12:00globe. In Sweden, political uncertainty
00:12:04continues after a closely contested election in which the left-wing
00:12:07opposition maintained a slight advantage while votes were still
00:12:11being counted. Sunday's elections also brought an unexpected
00:12:14setback for the far-right party, which lost ground for the first time
00:12:18since it entered parliament 16
00:12:22years ago.
00:12:25With a result too close to call a winner in
00:12:28Sweden, the preliminary count gives a short
00:12:31lead of three seats for the Social Democratic opposition
00:12:35against the right-wing bloc of current Prime Minister Ulf
00:12:39Kristersson, which leaves voters in
00:12:42suspense.
00:12:44It was very entertaining to sit and watch how it all unfolded and how it shifted from
00:12:48right to left all
00:12:49night.
00:12:53For me, who wants the right to win, it's a bit stressful, but they haven't
00:12:57finished counting yet, so we still have a couple of days until it's
00:13:00decided.
00:13:03Despite her small lead, Magdalena Andersson celebrated
00:13:07the results, but in the absence of a majority,
00:13:10the center-left leader would have to form
00:13:14a coalition with other left-wing parties, with whom there are
00:13:17disagreements, something that does not seem to worry the
00:13:21political leader.
00:13:25We will always be willing to take responsibility for the result, for
00:13:29now we are ahead and if it is confirmed, Sweden will have a new
00:13:32government.
00:13:36In front, Prime Minister Kristersson does not give up,
00:13:39multiplying signals to the centrist party that currently forms part
00:13:43of the left bloc to forge his own
00:13:47alliance, a look towards the center that contrasts with the
00:13:50inclination of his current coalition formed by the
00:13:53Sweden Democrats.
00:13:59Now the contest is very close, perhaps to the point that it cannot yet
00:14:02be clearly said who won and who lost, and that is why I say that now
00:14:06we must wait for the final
00:14:07results,
00:14:10the counting of some votes, such as those of Swedes abroad,
00:14:14is still pending, it is likely that the final results will not
00:14:17be known until Wednesday.
00:14:20We close with the Nigerian billionaire Aliko Dangote who
00:14:24launched this Monday. what is shaping up to be Africa's
00:14:27largest initial public offering, with which he seeks
00:14:30to raise 1.6 billion dollars to expand his
00:14:34mega oil refinery and make it the
00:14:37largest in the world. The refinery located in Lagos and
00:14:41operational since 2024, has a
00:14:44capacity of 700 thousand barrels per day, a
00:14:47volume that exceeds Nigeria's domestic demand, the most
00:14:51populous country in Africa.
00:15:28Welcome everyone to this space of Radio France Internationale and France
00:15:3224, on June 24th, a double earthquake of
00:15:36magnitude. 7.2 and 7.5 hit
00:15:39Venezuela, the official toll exceeds
00:15:426,500 dead and thousands of people have
00:15:46lost their homes, the most affected area was La Guaira
00:15:50where, according to an investigation,
00:15:5443 social housing towers
00:15:57associated with the Great Mission Venezuela Housing collapsed, they were poorly
00:16:00built, were seismic standards
00:16:03respected, what responsibility does the
00:16:06state have, we analyzed it. We are with Janeira Wilson, architect,
00:16:10urban planner, Venezuelan researcher,
00:16:12resident in France, Janeira, thank you very much for being
00:16:16with us, thank you for the invitation, well, you were
00:16:19recently in La Guaira, how is the situation, how are the
00:16:23people, eh, the situation is quite
00:16:26dramatic, the atmosphere is difficult to describe
00:16:30eh, but to give you an idea
00:16:33eh, the last time I was there
00:16:37about 10 days ago there was a kind
00:16:40of a haze of dust that is still suspended in
00:16:44the air eh with many mountains of everything that
00:16:47is all the
00:16:50residue of all these buildings that have collapsed
00:16:54and eh many eh tents
00:16:58that are in different places with the logos of the different countries that
00:17:01have collaborated with this tragedy in Venezuela, it must be said, which I have not said in the
00:17:05introduction, that there are thousands of... still buried under the
00:17:08rubble, well, you have studied the Great Venezuela
00:17:12Housing Mission, what did this flagship
00:17:15program of Hugo Chávez consist of? Eh, the Great Venezuela
00:17:19Housing Mission was an emblematic
00:17:21project that the state proposed to build
00:17:25initially 3 million homes
00:17:28and it was a project launched by Hugo Chávez in
00:17:322010-2011 eh which was later taken up by
00:17:36Maduro with the... idea of building 5
00:17:39million homes in 10 years, this was a project
00:17:43that eh well, above all it was very with the objective
00:17:47of building massively eh homes
00:17:50which in many cases were standardized eh
00:17:54and the idea was also to give an urgent response
00:17:57to an already existing phenomenon that had occurred in the same place
00:18:01where the earthquake
00:18:03we called the Vargas tragedy so it was a project.
00:18:08that also well it was handled very eh
00:18:11like like with a
00:18:14type of very important political campaign about the image of the
00:18:17buildings, Chávez's signature that was on all these buildings and
00:18:21well, Chávez's eyes no, buildings, how does
00:18:25this
00:18:29La Guaira
00:18:31in the same way there was no idea of
00:18:34building urgently, it was necessary to build
00:18:38quickly and for this reason basically three types of
00:18:41buildings were developed eh or three
00:18:45types of construction models, one
00:18:48had to do with international agreements, that's why the
00:18:52urban development that has been one of the most affected in the Chávez Urban Development in Playa
00:18:55Grande was built by a Turkish company, then there is another type
00:18:58of housing which are those called
00:19:01OPPPE which is the Presidential Office
00:19:04for Special Projects and these are the
00:19:07buildings with more concrete structure that exceed
00:19:1115, 15 floors and then there is another type of
00:19:15buildings that are between six and eight floors also
00:19:19with a construction model more similar to the typical
00:19:22Venezuelan one, in international agreements we see that there are constructions that
00:19:26come that are basically international or
00:19:29imported constructions, we can say that in La Guaira there were many constructions of that
00:19:33type, eh, 16 of the 43
00:19:37social housing towers collapsed there,
00:19:40this is 37%.
00:19:43Eh, we have evidence that there were problems with the materials,
00:19:47the concrete, the steel,
00:19:50the works and if seismic standards were
00:19:53respected, it is delicate to enter
00:19:56into, that is to say, to understand who is responsible for the
00:20:00actions and why we got to have this tragedy in this
00:20:03way, it is true that from the interviews
00:20:07that I was able to conduct in Venezuela eh, many of the
00:20:11constructions that were carried out very
00:20:14quickly excluded soil studies in
00:20:17some some of the sectors and eh another
00:20:21important information is that the
00:20:24soil where many of these constructions were built eh
00:20:28come from what I mentioned earlier about the Vargas tragedy,
00:20:32so the soil did not necessarily have the necessary
00:20:35rigidity to be able to keep this type of construction
00:20:39standing after the earthquake, which was a significant
00:20:43magnitude, 7.2, 7.4, are significant
00:20:46magnitudes, so that caused in some
00:20:49cases. for example, I could observe how some buildings
00:20:53completely collapsed, but there are others that were absorbed by the earth, that
00:20:57is to say, the earth as if it had
00:21:00swallowed these buildings, so we can eh
00:21:04assume that eh the fact that certain soil
00:21:08studies were missing had a significant consequence and that international
00:21:11constructions did not completely adapt and
00:21:15national ones also did not adapt to the existing soil in Vargas to
00:21:21of the area, some towers collapse and others do not, how is
00:21:24that explained by the materials, because in that
00:21:27soil, no, well, there is a there is a
00:21:30there is a fluctuation in the terrain that
00:21:34can make it so that in some cases, because even the same
00:21:37operation eh we see that had different
00:21:40resistance eh, it could be that at some
00:21:44point some were more in a slightly more
00:21:47solid place, but eh, in general we see that in the same
00:21:51operation a significant number of buildings fell and
00:21:55in another only the walls fell,
00:21:59where is the responsibility of the state when a
00:22:02home built by the state, which is its responsibility
00:22:05to protect a family, ends up
00:22:08collapsing, eh the responsibility
00:22:11is it has to do not only with construction but also with
00:22:15basic services that for many years
00:22:19eh do not work in the Venezuelan state, eh, for
00:22:22example, eh what we could see on the ground is that there are some
00:22:25buildings eh in which people included water tanks
00:22:29because they did not have water or electricity
00:22:32service eh eh that with respect to basic
00:22:36services eh and that could have even weakened
00:22:39some buildings now by the weight, sure, by the weight that was not
00:22:43estimated to be able to have 500 liter water tanks
00:22:47or more in some homes but
00:22:50eh, that is to say, we could at some point say, well, the inhabitants eh
00:22:54in some cases violated eh the
00:22:57norms of certain homes, the state is
00:22:59responsible for eh
00:23:03already people are vulnerable by not having
00:23:05housing and they are given homes that
00:23:08finally are very fragile and they return
00:23:11to a situation of vulnerability living in
00:23:15tents for years and that in many cases eh were a trap,
00:23:18no. The government has announced the demolition
00:23:22of 39 additional buildings because they present
00:23:25problems, it is news this week, they have
00:23:29announced the construction of new homes quickly,
00:23:33let's listen to the interim president
00:23:36Delcy Rodríguez. We have delivered
00:23:40335 new homes, benefiting
00:23:43172 people and recovered
00:23:471001 homes that benefit 300.
00:23:50503 people, in addition
00:23:52we will award more than 4, homes before the end of the
00:23:56year so we will continue until
00:23:59each affected family has a solution,
00:24:03well, what do you think of these statements,
00:24:07are we facing a true reconstruction, is
00:24:10it propaganda, is it an emergency response, I think
00:24:14it's a shame to think again
00:24:17that a strategy is to build quickly. because homes are
00:24:20needed, if the state built the Great Venezuela
00:24:24Housing Mission plan with 5 million homes as they say
00:24:28in their statistics eh and
00:24:31a country of 30 million inhabitants. We know
00:24:34that there should be empty houses, so it would be more worthwhile
00:24:38to do a real statistic and be able to,
00:24:41without touching private housing, be able to give social housing
00:24:45already built to the people who are in difficulty today.
00:24:48It seems to me that to take
00:24:51that initiative of building quickly due to the urgency,
00:24:54excluding indispensable technical processes, is a great
00:24:57error. How should it be
00:25:01La Guaira? Eh, that's a question, in
00:25:04reality, it shouldn't necessarily be built in La Guaira. La Guaira
00:25:08has been declared, for many years, after the earthquake of
00:25:111967, a seismic zone value five, that
00:25:15is, it is a very delicate, fragile
00:25:18place, and no, not necessarily. Of course, people prefer to live in
00:25:22their place of residence
00:25:25historically, but being such a delicate place,
00:25:29it would be worthwhile to perhaps look for other places to build.
00:25:32The country, Venezuela, is under the tutelage
00:25:35of the United States. On August 28th, Donald Trump and
00:25:39Delcy Rodríguez announced an agreement that they described as
00:25:42historic, by which Washington will control
00:25:4565 million barrels of oil, a quarter of Venezuelan
00:25:48reserves. Washington announced 300 million
00:25:52dollars in aid, it's not much, it's clearly
00:25:55insufficient. Who will pay for the
00:25:58reconstruction? Today there is a study, a
00:26:02team of engineers that comes partly from the United
00:26:06States, Kitmillamoto, where there is work on
00:26:10recovery, on reconstruction,
00:26:13on the treatment, yes, of all the demolition
00:26:17of all these buildings, we are talking about 3 million tons, an
00:26:20impressive amount, so well, I think that part of that
00:26:23aid can finance part of this
00:26:27reconstruction, however, I understand that the state also prefers
00:26:30to have the leading role in the reconstruction of the
00:26:34state and the housing. You have
00:26:37studied
00:26:39the Great Housing Mission, how it became a
00:26:42political symbol of Chavismo.
00:26:46What happens with that image of the protecting
00:26:50state when those buildings
00:26:52collapse? What do people say? Are they talking, are they
00:26:55criticizing, are they happy or are they
00:26:58super angry? What do Venezuelans say?
00:27:03because there is a process of mourning, many cannot
00:27:06do it, there are thousands of bodies still in the rubble,
00:27:09what is a little the temperature you have
00:27:12seen? I particularly feel this
00:27:16year that there is a more state, the
00:27:19atmosphere of people is much more of
00:27:23anger, of annoyance, of deception towards the
00:27:26state, because many
00:27:29felt that they did not have enough help to recover
00:27:32the bodies of the people who died during this
00:27:36tragedy, in fact many families had to resort to
00:27:40private aid or from family members,
00:27:43friends to be able to recover the bodies, so
00:27:46there is a widespread disillusionment,
00:27:49that's what I could say and what I could
00:27:53feel by talking to some people, family members about
00:27:56that feeling of almost being
00:27:59used by the state for
00:28:03propaganda, the state needs, people need housing and the state
00:28:06gives them housing, but well, I think they won't be able to continue
00:30:36We return.
