after britney spears alleged she was backhanded in the face of a security guard on wednesday. hello, i m rajini vaidyanathan, welcome to the daily global, where we ll bring you the top stories from around the world. welcome we begin with the war in ukraine and differences emerging between nato allies over whether controversial cluster munitions should be sent to kyiv. an announcement by washington on a new package of weapons including cluster munitions is expected in the coming minutes. these images are from the us department of defence and show cluster bombs detonating. kyiv has been pressing for the weapons for its counteroffensive. but cluster bombs are banned by many countries around the world because of the danger they pose to civilians sometimes years after a conflict ends. germany has voiced opposition to such a move and humanitarian organisations have urged both russia and ukraine to avoid cluster munitions completely. this is the scene at the white house wh
hello. i m tadhg enright. welcome to the programme. the head of the company behind the artificial intelligence tool chatgpt has told lawmakers in the us that government regulation is crucial to keep the industry safe. we ve seen tech ceos get a congressional grilling before, but that s not what happened here. appearing before a senate panel, sam altman said that al could be as significant as the invention of the printing press, claiming it had the potential to improve nearly every aspect of our lives. but he admitted the technology also poses serious risks. my worst fears are that we cause significant. we, the field, the technology, the industry cause significant harm to the world. i think that could happen in a lot of different ways. it s why we started the company. it s a big part of why i m here today, and why we ve been here in the past, and able to spend some time with you. i think if this technology goes wrong, it can go quite wrong. and we want to be vocal about that.
on the debt ceiling. this is all about the amount of money the us government is allowed to borrow which has a self imposed limit, a ceiling. without a raise, this would leave the us unable to pay its bills. on tuesday, president biden met with top lawmakers in washington, who are currently blocking raising that ceiling but they came away without a breakthrough. nomia iqbal was there. both sides came out of the meeting which lasted more than an hour, announcing there was no deal. both showing they are entrenched in their positions. the republican speaker of the house, kevin mccarthy, attacked president biden for not negotiating. his opponents came out a short while either later saying republicans refused to take default off that table and mrjeffries called the publicly party as a party of magyar extremists. they have two weeks otherwise the us will default to not pay their bills and it would lead to economic ruin, leading to stock markets plummeting and millions ofjobs are p
law in the united states or trying to conceal bribery in london or anywhere else, if you falsify a financial record in new york, in order to commit a crime to conceal a crime somewhere else, that is a felony in new york and new york has the right and the obligation to protect integrity of its financial system by prosecuting crimes like this, whether they are committed by the banks or by former presidents of the united states. so this is a serious crime, it was committed a while back, in 2016, but alvin bragg, the da, is right to pursue this and to file this indictment. i would emphasise this is by far not as most serious crime but donald trump probably committed. he has expulsion of sedition and insurrection, crimes underfederal sedition and insurrection, crimes under federal law, but he could be indicted by the united states department of justice when the special counseljack smith wraps up his investigation and those crimes would disqualify him from public office, ever havin
message is expected to be titled freedom , and repeat his 2020 campaign message, describing the united states as being in a battle for the soul of the nation. he called on all americans to stand up for their personal freedoms, and defend democracy. if re elected, joe biden will be 86 when he leaves office. he is already the oldest president in us history. freedom. personalfreedom is fundamental to us as americans. there is nothing more important, nothing more sacred. that has been the work of my first term, to fight for our democracy. this should not be an issue. to protect our rights, to make sure everyone in this country is treated equally, and that everyone is given a fair shot. but around the country, extremists are lining up to take our most bedrock freedoms. cutting social security that you have paid for, cutting taxes, dictating what health care decisions women can take, banning books, and telling people who they can love. all making it more difficult for you to vote.
