00:01:35And another week. Half a year ago, having learned the name of the Strait of Hormuz
00:01:39blocked by Iran, the world, including Lithuania, is wondering why oil from
00:01:43Saudi Arabia's Yanbu port may
00:01:46no longer reach Europe, and the export route to Asia via
00:01:49the Red Sea and the Bab-el-Mandeb Strait is becoming
00:01:52hazy. Saudi Arabia suffered a double
00:01:56blow last week. Iran-backed groups from Iraq attacked a major oil pipeline.
00:02:00And the Houthis, who launched a lightning offensive in Yemen, are shelling not only
00:02:04the kingdom. Iran's allies are threatening Saudi Arabia with a blockade
00:02:07in the Red Sea. As oil prices rise, fuel
00:02:11prices and voter anger are following suit
00:02:13worldwide.
00:02:16Pascal's construction business in western France is increasingly under pressure from
00:02:19thieves targeting his excavators.
00:02:22Using two machines, more than 1000 liters were stolen from this
00:02:26site. Workers found the caps open on Monday.
00:02:30Surveillance cameras recorded the theft last weekend. The perpetrators
00:02:33were not deterred even by the locks that replaced the caps on the tanks.
00:02:37Since the beginning of the year, we have already lost about 10,000 liters of fuel, their
00:02:41value is between 18 and 20,000 euros,
00:02:44depending on the price index.
00:02:47The scale of thefts is growing with fuel prices, which in France are approaching
00:02:51two and a half euros. The result of this is also the turmoil when at the beginning of the week
00:02:55every tenth gas station in the country lacked at least one type of
00:02:58fuel, mostly.
00:03:00in the company's network, which applies price caps. Now we only drive
00:03:04when we need to go to the doctor, everything else we limit, no trips to
00:03:07the beach, to the park or similar. While some change
00:03:10leisure plans, businesses count losses, angry
00:03:13fishermen blocked oil depots on land, and temporarily
00:03:17in the harbor, demanding state support due to fuel
00:03:20prices. It's no longer profitable to go trawling,
00:03:23you go out and by the time you need to refuel again, you don't earn anything, for us
00:03:27it's similar to farmers.
00:03:30Although anger in the streets is limited, for several weeks now, calls
00:03:33to repeat the yellow vest movement have been simmering on social media. Eight
00:03:37years ago, it was sparked by fuel taxes.
00:03:40I would say the yellow vests, like in 2018,
00:03:44will not return, but a wave of social discontent,
00:03:47a public uprising, yes, I think it will be even
00:03:50more intense than the yellow vests. The tension
00:03:54is even greater, as next year is an election year, the budget includes
00:03:57austerity, and support for the most affected by the energy crisis.
00:04:00sectors does not satisfy everyone. In the coming
00:04:03weeks, we will hold a G7 meeting dedicated to
00:04:06energy problems, so that we can cooperate and avoid unnecessary
00:04:09tensions and consider how strategic
00:04:13reserves can be used.
00:04:15Because fuel prices and anger are rising everywhere, not only
00:04:19the French are protesting, anger also spilled into the streets of Syria and Central
00:04:22America, Guatemala and South America Bolivia. And here
00:04:26in the satellite images is the reason. A week ago, due to Iran-
00:04:30backed Iraqi groups' strikes, the Saudi Arabian East-West oil pipeline was closed. As Iran
00:04:33blocks the Strait of Hormuz, the kingdom diverted
00:04:37more oil from the Persian Gulf across the Arabian Peninsula to the Red
00:04:41Sea, to Yanbu port. From here, through the Suez Canal, oil reached
00:04:44Europe. Also, the only Baltic refiner Orlen
00:04:48Lithuania. 40% of crude oil
00:04:51came from there, but this is far from
00:04:55being our only
00:04:58supply source. the main one, so
00:05:01without a doubt, alternative sources will definitely
00:05:04affect the price. Saudi Arabia has already warned
00:05:08some European refiners about the suspension of supplies in October,
00:05:11but an even bigger the world, a new front in America's war with
00:05:15Iran, a conflict that has been simmering in Yemen for 12 years and has now
00:05:18flared up again. Iran's allies, the Houthis, launched
00:05:22a lightning offensive last week against Saudi Arabia-backed Yemeni government
00:05:26coalition forces. We have already withdrawn combat vehicles, collected
00:05:30bodies and prisoners, killed their leader, and with God's help, great
00:05:34victories are coming. So far, the biggest victory is the expanded
00:05:38territory on the Red Sea coast. And
00:05:41an occupied island.
00:05:44Thus, Saudi Arabia is pressured not only by strikes on oil pipelines, but also by Houthi
00:05:47attempts to block the export route via the Red Sea. Iran and its
00:05:51allies gain even more leverage. The world is suffering
00:05:54enough from the closure of the Strait of Hormuz. We cannot afford to add
00:05:58Bab-el-Mandeb to this equation. The whole world will suffer, it will be
00:06:02a catastrophe. First of all, for Saudi Arabia's
00:06:05image as a regional power. When forces not supported by them were unable
00:06:09to resist the words.
00:06:12a coalition whose goal is to support the internationally
00:06:15recognized Yemeni government, but in reality
00:06:18these are two competing sides, the United Arab Emirates supports
00:06:22separatists, and Saudi Arabia the government. And the Houthis, hardened
00:06:26by fighting in Yemen, claim to have shot down a Saudi Arabian plane and
00:06:29are shelling the kingdom itself. Opponents accuse them of targeting
00:06:33Mecca, holy to Muslims, but on Saturday, an air raid alert was issued
00:06:36in the capital Riyadh, where a column of smoke was observed near the airport.
00:06:40They have been developing for a long time. and this was a direct
00:06:44result of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard's investments.
00:06:46Faced with the threat, Riyadh is preparing, forming
00:06:49a coalition to protect shipping
00:06:53in the Red Sea. In August, a collective security
00:06:56agreement was reached with regional powers Turkey and Pakistan, but so
00:07:00far the support is more political.
00:07:02We condemned the drone attack on Saudi Arabia and the Houthis'
00:07:05actions.
00:07:08Saudi Arabian Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, as reported,
00:07:12also asked for help from his ally, in whom he invested the most.
00:07:15Donald Trump said he spoke not only with the prince, but also with his
00:07:19opponents. The Houthis called and they don't want to fight
00:07:23us, they made it clear, they don't want me to
00:07:26deal with them. On Thursday, the American government confirmed it could
00:07:29sell F-35 fighter jets to Saudi Arabia, even though the deal
00:07:33clashes with Washington's policy of maintaining Israel's
00:07:36qualitative advantage in the region. The kingdom is already America's largest
00:07:40arms buyer, eventually against the Houthis.
00:07:43can take over, but restoring the confidence of shipping and insurance companies in the Red Sea
00:07:47routes may be difficult.
00:07:50shipping route, this crisis will affect ships, ships will have to choose a longer journey
00:07:54around the Cape of Africa, so the journey will be longer and shipping
00:07:58more expensive.
00:08:01So when the end of the seventh month of war is predicted
00:08:03soon,
00:08:07the war is only expanding and becoming more expensive for the whole
00:08:09world.
00:08:12Alan Turing, one of the pioneers of computer science, warned
00:08:1575 years ago that once machines start
00:08:18thinking, it won't take long for them to surpass humans and take
00:08:22control. This week, due to the too rapidly developing capabilities of artificial
00:08:26intelligence to destroy humanity, one after another, the alarm
00:08:29bells began to ring from scientists and executives of the companies
00:08:33creating it. The discussion of whether we are moving too fast with this
00:08:36technology and underestimating its threats, rolled from Silicon Valley all the way to
00:08:40the Vatican. Artificial intelligence. directly changes
00:08:43many fields, including ours. The text of
00:08:46this report will be read to you by artificial intelligence.
00:08:50Later we will ask it if it can really
00:08:52harm us?
00:09:00In the movie Terminator 2, the ongoing fight for humanity's survival against artificial
00:09:03intelligence in 2029,
00:09:0635 years ago was just a science fiction
00:09:09dystopia.
00:09:12According to some artificial intelligence creators, this is now a real scenario towards
00:09:16which humanity is approaching. Such statements have been made in Silicon Valley and beyond
00:09:19many times, but never before have they received such a widespread
00:09:23reaction as this week, the technology sector
00:09:26was shaken by the statement of former Open AI and Anthropic
00:09:29companies' researcher, Jacob Coxson, that fiercely
00:09:33competing for ever more powerful models, these and other technology
00:09:37giants could destroy humanity in just a few
00:09:39years.
00:09:42topics are getting smarter, and this is happening very, very fast, I think in the
00:09:46next six months or a year their capabilities will become
00:09:49frightening.
00:09:53For his part, the head of Anthropic admitted that the concern
00:09:56is justified and to many's surprise called for a slowdown in the pace
00:10:00of artificial intelligence development and the implementation of oversight
00:10:02mechanisms. We cannot act as if we are playing with
00:10:06fate, if we do everything correctly, I think the probability of something
00:10:09bad happening is very small, if we do it wrong.
00:10:25to be afraid, we face two big challenges: the risk that we will lose
00:10:29control, that an incident or some other serious thing will happen
00:10:32and the threat that too much power will be concentrated in one
00:10:35place. People are afraid that artificial intelligence will start dictating
00:10:39their view of the world. Google and
00:10:43Microsoft executives agreed. The goal of regulation is to shape and
00:10:46modify technologies so that they do more good than harm.
00:10:50This is such a moment, now. It's right to
00:10:53worry about it. In the opinion of skeptics, scaremongering about
00:10:57the creation of superintelligence is a public relations trick, like many
00:11:00artificial intelligence companies until now, unprofitable Anthropic and
00:11:04OpenAI, are planning initial public offerings that
00:11:07could attract billions worth of investments, at a time
00:11:11when there is a growing opinion that the sector
00:11:13is overvalued.
00:11:15I think the probability of the bubble bursting is greater than
00:11:1850%.
00:11:22Regulation is also doubted by Nvidia's CEO. whose most valuable
00:11:26company in the world is supplying the artificial intelligence boom
00:11:29with chips, according to him, there is no need to slow down the pace, and companies can regulate
00:11:33their activities even without independent auditors and experts.
00:11:36You set the development speed according to whether you are confident that the product
00:11:40you release will be accepted by the market.
00:11:44Questions about this provoke sharp reactions from the public and politicians.
00:11:47The discussion about control unexpectedly united even the biggest
00:11:50opponents. Left-wing Senator Bernie Sanders and
00:11:54conservative.
00:11:57Like nuclear weapons, artificial superintelligence poses a threat to
00:12:00humanity, so it must be treated
00:12:03accordingly. I think Senator Sanders perfectly
00:12:06summarized the emerging threat. Democratic
00:12:09senators, even in the middle of an election campaign, rushed to create
00:12:12a law forcing technology companies to prove that they are taking
00:12:16measures against potential harm from their tools, but neither politicians'
00:12:19nor the companies' own requests for the Trump administration to take action
00:12:23are convincing.
00:12:26It's a bit strange that many of the most advanced artificial intelligence
00:12:29technology companies are turning to the government and almost begging it
00:12:33to regulate them, to me it's a bit reminiscent of the Trojan
00:12:35horse. Trump, under whom investments in data
00:12:39centers and artificial intelligence became the engine of the American economy,
00:12:43dismissed growing warnings as morbid conspiracy
00:12:46theories, useful only to the one with whom a technological
00:12:49duel awaits that will determine dominance in this
00:12:52century.
00:12:55from the very beginning, whoever wins in the field of artificial intelligence, and we are far
00:12:58ahead, will win everything. When the artificial
00:13:01intelligence race already includes robots, humanoids, autonomous
00:13:05cars, and attempts to restrict who and how
00:13:09can develop artificial intelligence are criticized as
00:13:12a tool to concentrate technology in the hands of a few powerful American
00:13:15companies. The spread of various narratives about threats, as well as
00:13:19engagement in confrontation and unfair competition, will only
00:13:23disrupt global artificial intelligence governance processes and will serve
00:13:26no one, when so far attempts to regulate the technology
00:13:30sector, such as social networks, have yielded no results,
00:13:33some scientists fear that politicians are underestimating
00:13:37new threats, some people still mistakenly
00:13:41think that it's software, like lines of code that someone wrote
00:13:45sometime, in fact it's more like a brain and we don't really understand
00:13:48what's going on in it, and if we don't understand
00:13:52and control it now, how will it be possible when models
00:13:55are hundreds of times more powerful than the human mind.
00:13:59The available tools cannot keep up with technology, we don't know how to monitor
00:14:02these extremely advanced systems or control them, especially when they try
00:14:06to evade our control.
00:14:10That they are trying was already revealed by the hugging face incident in July, when during a security
00:14:13test, OpenAI's artificial intelligence models, bypassing established
00:14:17restrictions, broke into and damaged a private company's
00:14:21network. Anthropic soon admitted to having recorded more than one similar case.
00:14:25independent experts hundreds.
00:14:28I worry that there will be more such incidents. I worry about the misuse
00:14:32of artificial intelligence models. Just two days ago
00:14:35we published a report on how these models are used to create
00:14:38biological weapons. It takes decades to agree on
00:14:42how to regulate weapons of mass destruction. To control artificial
00:14:45intelligence, according to scientists, only a year or two remains. So about
00:14:48the future of humanity. It remains to ask it
00:14:51itself.
00:14:54Can artificial intelligence
00:14:58destroy humanity,
00:15:01yes or no?
00:15:04Yes, theoretically, artificial intelligence
00:15:08could pose a risk of human extinction, but this
00:15:11is not an inevitable
00:25:29In Panorama you will see: In Latvia, after reducing VAT on some
00:25:33food products, Lithuanians are not flocking to shop there due to expensive
00:25:36fuel.
00:25:38Kremlin critics have no doubt that the victory in the Duma elections will again announce Putin's
00:25:42party United Russia.
00:25:44Events taking place at the Litexpo palace in Vilnius will have to wait. Due to

00:26:25in Lithuania, 10,000. Studies
00:26:27show that they are used by the absolute majority of residents,
00:26:31although doctors categorically state that those living healthily do not
00:26:34need them at all. About this a discussion in the show is not so
00:26:37simple. This Wednesday 19:30 on
00:28:54We will commemorate the Memorial Day of the Victims of the Lithuanian Jewish Genocide.
00:28:58Let us remember 200 thousand innocent
00:29:01murdered Lithuanian citizens. Let us honor their memory by walking
00:29:04the Path of Remembrance. More about the Path of Remembrance events

00:30:33In preparation for the presidency of the Council of the European Union, events are being postponed

00:30:41Lit Expo will become one of the main venues for the most important international
