00:00NATO Secretary-General Mark Ruter said there is no immediate threat to the Alliance's
00:04territory, adding that Moscow could never win a confrontation with NATO.
00:09A commercial plane traveling from the United Arab Emirates to Israel was forced to make
00:14an emergency landing in Saudi Arabia after one of the pilots stabbed his fellow pilot
00:17and attempted to crash the plane.
00:22Speaking at the U News Defense and Space Summit in Brussels, NATO Secretary-General Mark Ruter
00:27said there is no immediate threat to the Alliance's territory, adding that he does
00:32not take Russia's nuclear threats seriously because Moscow could never win a confrontation
00:38with NATO.
00:39We have prepared for this, we have planned for this, and this is true for the whole of NATO.
00:42We will defend every inch of NATO territory.
00:45Putin knows that he can never win from NATO, so I don't take this that serious, but of
00:51course we had to reply and make clear to him that NATO is a defensive alliance, as I said,
00:55that, and stop the war in Ukraine, and stop the nuclear threats, because it's not helpful,
01:00and NATO is so much stronger than Russia is, so there's no way they can ever beat us.
01:04His remarks follow media reports that Russia sent NATO a letter warning it against any attempt
01:11to cut off the exclave of Kaliningrad from the Russian mainland.
01:14Moscow said it was ready to use its entire arsenal, including nuclear weapons.
01:20The NATO chief said Russia is losing 43,000 troops killed or seriously wounded a month
01:26on the front line. He added that Kyiv is doing much better than a year ago,
01:30and that allies continue to provide military support.
01:34As far as Ruter is concerned, NATO should stay calm, keep backing Ukraine,
01:38and ramp up its defense investment.
01:47Belgian Defense Minister Theo Franken has warned Europe must prepare for further Russian hybrid
01:52attacks in the coming month. Franken described Russia as the biggest threat to Belgium's security.
01:57The country has experienced several drone incidents this year, some of which disrupted air traffic.
02:02Russia. Air attack, air attack, air attack. So this is the biggest threat. So we need air defense,
02:11air defense, air defense. We need to have more stocks, more production, scale of production,
02:17industrial base, and large industrial base.
02:19Franken said Belgium had long under-invested in defense, but that the country is now stepping up spending.
02:25I cannot do it in 18 months, but it has been neglected for 40 years. So yes, we were the
02:31first,
02:31the worst pupil of NATO class. Now Belgium is back again, but it takes time.
02:37However, Franken said that allocating 5% of GDP to defense would not be realistic for Belgium in the near
02:43term.
02:43This is the biggest threat of the United States.
02:50Blows with batons and boots, punches, threats, and migrants restrained with zip ties.
02:56These are some of the abuses that Amnesty International says it has documented in SOTA.
03:02One of the migrants interviewed is confined to a wheelchair. He has been unable to walk for 25 days
03:08and claims that a soldier pushed them from a height of more than six meters.
03:13Amnesty interviewed more than 65 people and collected 22 first-hand accounts attributing beatings,
03:19humiliations, and the destruction of cell phones to military personnel.
03:25Now, the citizens of Malaysia have been able to walk to the border, and the soldiers have been able to
03:31move the border.
03:31The Japanese would never have to leave if they were able to get back to the border.
03:35So they left me with the soldiers.
03:38The soldiers took me and took me and took me with them and took me and took me to the
03:44border.
03:45I got the border between the border, and it was completely broken from the border,
03:49with the border with the border.
04:16The organization also denounced possible illegal deportations
04:20to Morocco and warned that hundreds of migrant miners continue to live on the streets of
04:25Soutar.
04:26Amnesty is calling on the government to conduct an independent and thorough investigation.
04:30It acknowledges the strain faced by the military personnel deployed in the city, but warns
04:36that some of the reported abuses could constitute torture or inhumane treatment.
04:44Danish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez and French President Emmanuel Macron have called for greater
04:48European unity despite a setback to relations between their countries.
04:53Sanchez apologized after Spain's Senate rejected the bilateral Treaty of Friendship promising
04:57an agreement of this kind would be approved before the end of the current parliamentary
05:01term.
05:02The treaty had already been backed by Spain's lower house and ratified by France.
05:09Macron, meanwhile, expressed solidarity with Spain over the CETA migration crisis saying
05:13the country had been the victim of a multiple attack.
05:18He called for robust protection of Europe's borders while respecting EU law and values.
05:24The two leaders also urged a stronger European project.
05:28Sanchez called for a more ambitious EU budget while Macron stressed the need for European unity
05:33in trade relations with China.
05:36Both also reaffirmed their support for multilateralism and a rules-based international order.
05:48A commercial plane traveling from the United Arab Emirates to Israel was forced to make an emergency
05:54landing in Saudi Arabia on Wednesday after one of the pilots stabbed his fellow pilots and
06:00attempted to crash the plane.
06:25The Israeli Prime Minister said a passenger and a crew member broke into the cockpit and managed
06:31to search the plane.
06:31to subdue the pilot.
06:33He added that the pilot who committed the stabbing was arrested and interrogated by Saudi authorities.
06:39The plane, which was carrying nearly 180 passengers, landed safely in Tabuk, Saudi Arabia.
06:46Israel has not experienced a hijacking in decades and maintained some of the strictest airport security in the world.
06:57The British government has said its one-year-old deal with France to return migrants crossing the channel on small
07:03boats has ended.
07:04The so-called one-in-one-out deal that allowed the UK to remove asylum seekers in exchange for an
07:10equal number of legal migrants
07:12was launched in August last year and was due to expire this week.
07:16Home office figures show 1,087 people were returned to France between August 2025 and June this year while 1
07:24,117 were transferred to Britain.
07:27Over the same period, almost 28,000 migrants arrived by small boats, meaning only around 4% were sent back.
07:35Home Secretary Shabana Mahmoud said each return cost taxpayers an average of about 65,500 euros.
07:43Prime Minister Andy Burnham has said his government is changing its approach,
07:46combining tougher enforcement with safe legal routes for asylum seekers.
07:53U.S. President Donald Trump met with top AI and tech firm executives at the White House on Tuesday,
07:59where he unveiled that an accord was signed by all to self-police the development of artificial intelligence
08:05as concerns mount over its consequential implications on humanity.
08:09The terms of the accord remain vague and the legal liability on those responsible for advancing AI even more ambiguous.
08:17Mr. President, tell us why the world should not be concerned about AI, why there shouldn't be guardrails?
08:23Because we have people that love our country and love the world a lot.
08:26But it requires more than love, doesn't it, sir?
08:28No, it requires this, and they're the smartest people in the world.
08:32Is this accord that everybody signed? Is it binding in any way?
08:35I think it's morally binding, yeah.
08:37Speaking on the White House lawn after what Trump described as a great meeting, in a bid to reassure the
08:42public,
08:43Jensen Huang, CEO of NVIDIA, the most valuable AI firm on the planet, said...
08:48There's no conflict between innovation, technology, and safety.
08:53We are going to have to create new technologies to advance the capabilities of AI,
08:58but we're also creating new technologies to advance the safety of AI.
09:01We're going to advance this technology that is so consequential to humanity,
09:04that is so consequential to the future prosperity of our nation,
09:07and we're going to do it responsibly and safely.
09:09Also present at the meeting was CEO of Anthropic,
09:12the company behind the popular AI chatbot Claude,
09:15who has been one of the most outspoken voices in the industry,
09:19calling for a deceleration in development speed.
09:21I will say what I've always said, which is that AI has incredible benefits.
09:27I've talked about the medical benefits of the technology.
09:30As the president has said, whoever wins AI, wins.
09:33I think that's very important.
09:35But I think the technology has very real risks,
09:38and the mechanism, how we address those risks, is still under discussion.
09:43Speaking at an earlier event on Tuesday,
09:46Trump insisted he will stop short of instating actual guardrails
09:49to slow down the development of the technology.
09:52He also took aim at China,
09:54with whom he recently committed to cooperating with on safe AI rollout,
09:58and said he doesn't really want to cooperate much
10:01because the U.S. is far ahead.
