Morning Bird: Trump wants to occupy the Gaza Strip and turn it into a riviera. Czechs could train soldiers directly in Ukraine
The USA could control the problematic Gaza Strip, according to President Trump the area could be a "riviera". Czechs can train soldiers directly in Ukraine, according to the Chief of General Staff Karel Řehka it is not a problem for the army. Google will not prevent the use of artificial intelligence in the development of weapons. A shooting in an educational institution in Sweden has at least 10 victims. It is one of the worst attacks of this kind in the country.
Trump wants to transform Gaza into a riviera under his patronage
President Donald Trump declared on Tuesday that the United States would "take over" the Gaza Strip - possibly with the help of American soldiers - and Palestinians living there should leave, a proposal that would dramatically change the orientation of the Middle East and expose more than a million residents to further displacement. "The USA will take over the Gaza Strip and we will also do some work with it," Trump said at a joint press conference with his Israeli counterpart Benjamin Netanyahu, and later described his vision for this area as a new "riviera".
Trump's comments are a remarkable statement from the current US president. Trump also succeeded in his election campaign thanks to his criticism of the longest US wars in the Middle East and promises to return American investments back to its citizens. They raise a number of questions about how Trump's land seizure would proceed, what his legal powers would be, and who would pay for him, she wrote on the CNN website.
According to Řehka, the Czech army is ready to train units directly in Ukraine
The Chief of the General Staff, Karel Řehka, can imagine training Ukrainian soldiers directly in their own country. The Czech Army has now trained about 7,000 Ukrainian soldiers on our territory, or has participated in their training in Poland and Germany.
"Ukrainians have a bigger problem sending us units here, rather than we would have a problem training them. We respect this, we try to respond operationally to these requests fairly quickly,"
General Řehka stated according to ČTK. However, the final decision in this regard must be made by the political representation.
Google will not prevent the use of artificial intelligence in the development of weapons
Alphabet, the parent company of the technology giant Google, no longer promises that it will never use artificial intelligence (AI) for purposes such as weapons development and surveillance tools. The company rewritten the policies that govern its use of artificial intelligence and removed the part that excluded uses that "could cause harm".
In a blog post, this step was defended by James Manyika, senior vice president of Google, who leads Google's DeepMind artificial intelligence lab. According to them, businesses and democratic governments must collaborate on artificial intelligence that "supports national security," BBC reported.
Shooting in Sweden claims at least 10 victims
At least 10 people, including the shooter, were killed on Tuesday in an adult education center, which the Swedish Prime Minister described as the worst mass shooting in the country. The final death toll, the exact number of injured, and the motive for the shooting remained unclear even after several hours. Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson appeared at a press conference after the tragedy, which occurred in the suburb of Orebro. The city is located about 200 kilometers west of Stockholm.
The school named Campus Risbergska, according to its website, serves students over the age of 20. It offers basic education, Swedish courses for immigrants, vocational training, and programs for people with mental disabilities, said AP agency.
