Good afternoon, I'm _____ with today's episode of EZ News. Tai-Ex opening The Tai-Ex opened down 87-points this morning from yesterday's close, at 27,816 on turnover of $7.7-billion N-T. Taiwan ranks top in Asia and 7th in world for internet freedom Taiwan has once again been rated the freest country in Asia for internet use and seventh globally in the latest Freedom on the Net report released the US-based Freedom House. The report assessed internet freedom in 72 countries between June 2024 and May 2025. It measures obstacles to access, restrictions on online content, and violations of users' rights. Taiwan had a score of 79 out of 100 and that was unchanged from last year, reaffirming (再次肯定或加強。) its status as one of the most open online environments in the world. Japan placed eighth with 78 points. The list was topped by Iceland with a score of 94 - while Estonia, Chile, Costa Rica and Canada rounded out the top five. China and Myanmar remained at the bottom of the list with scores of 9. Trump-Epstein relationship in spotlight ahead of key vote on files Donald Trump's relationship to late-sex offender Jeffrey Epstein is still under scrutiny ahead of key vote that could release more files. The House of Representatives is expected to vote to compel the Justice Department to release all the evidence (證據) it has, but the files may not see the light of day. As Nick Harper reports from Washington. Russia Launches Attack on Kyiv Russia has launched a massive attack on Kyiv, causing fires and scattering debris across the city. Local officials report at least 11 people were injured, with five hospitalized. The attack continues today, prompting officials to urge residents to stay in shelters. City authorities warned of possible power and water outages. The strike came as European Union officials warned this week that Ukraine must continue to crack down on corruption following a major graft scandal that has put top nuclear energy officials under scrutiny (受到審查). But they also offered assurances (保證) that aid will continue to flow as Kyiv strains to hold back Russia's invasion. Borso D'Este Bible on Display in Italy One of the most spectacular examples of Renaissance illuminated manuscripts is going on rare public display as part of the Vatican's Holy Year celebrations. The 15th century Borso D'Este Bible is known for its miniature paintings in gold and lapis lazuli (青金石). It was unveiled Thursday in the Italian Senate, where it will remain on display until Jan. 16. It is usually kept in a safe at a library in Modena and is rarely exhibited publicly; it was transported to Rome under heavy security. The Bible was created between 1455 and 1461. It will remain behind humidity-controlled plate glass while in Rome, but visitors can “read” it digitally via touch screen displays featuring ultra-high-resolution images. That was the I.C.R.T.

With the US racing to develop AGI and superintelligence ahead of China, you might expect the two countries to be negotiating how they'll deploy AI, including in the military, without coming to blows. But according to Helen Toner, director of the Center for Security and Emerging Technology in DC, “the US and Chinese governments are barely talking at all.”Links to learn more, video, and full transcript: https://80k.info/ht25In her role as a founder, and now leader, of DC's top think tank focused on the geopolitical and military implications of AI, Helen has been closely tracking the US's AI diplomacy since 2019.“Over the last couple of years there have been some direct [US–China] talks on some small number of issues, but they've also often been completely suspended.” China knows the US wants to talk more, so “that becomes a bargaining chip for China to say, ‘We don't want to talk to you. We're not going to do these military-to-military talks about extremely sensitive, important issues, because we're mad.'”Helen isn't sure the groundwork exists for productive dialogue in any case. “At the government level, [there's] very little agreement” on what AGI is, whether it's possible soon, whether it poses major risks. Without shared understanding of the problem, negotiating solutions is very difficult.Another issue is that so far the Chinese Communist Party doesn't seem especially “AGI-pilled.” While a few Chinese companies like DeepSeek are betting on scaling, she sees little evidence Chinese leadership shares Silicon Valley's conviction that AGI will arrive any minute now, and export controls have made it very difficult for them to access compute to match US competitors.When DeepSeek released R1 just three months after OpenAI's o1, observers declared the US–China gap on AI had all but disappeared. But Helen notes OpenAI has since scaled to o3 and o4, with nothing to match on the Chinese side. “We're now at something like a nine-month gap, and that might be longer.”To find a properly AGI-pilled autocracy, we might need to look at nominal US allies. The US has approved massive data centres in the UAE and Saudi Arabia with “hundreds of thousands of next-generation Nvidia chips” — delivering colossal levels of computing power.When OpenAI announced this deal with the UAE, they celebrated that it was “rooted in democratic values,” and would advance “democratic AI rails” and provide “a clear alternative to authoritarian versions of AI.”But the UAE scores 18 out of 100 on Freedom House's democracy index. “This is really not a country that respects rule of law,” Helen observes. Political parties are banned, elections are fake, dissidents are persecuted.If AI access really determines future national power, handing world-class supercomputers to Gulf autocracies seems pretty questionable. The justification is typically that “if we don't sell it, China will” — a transparently false claim, given severe Chinese production constraints. It also raises eyebrows that Gulf countries conduct joint military exercises with China and their rulers have “very tight personal and commercial relationships with Chinese political leaders and business leaders.”In today's episode, host Rob Wiblin and Helen discuss all that and more.This episode was recorded on September 25, 2025.CSET is hiring a frontier AI research fellow! https://80k.info/cset-roleCheck out its careers page for current roles: https://cset.georgetown.edu/careers/Chapters:Cold open (00:00:00)Who's Helen Toner?

Літва прыняла рашэнне зменьшыць узровень бяспекі для Святланы Ціханоўскай. І гэта рашэнне шмат для каго стала нечаканым і выклікала крытычныя заўвагі нават з боку былога міністра замежных спраў Літвы Габрыэлюса Ландсбергіса. Амаль адначасова з гэтым ў Літве ўзнік скандал з міністрам культуры, які не здолеў адказаць на пытанне: “Чый Крым?”. Дайшло нават да акцый “культурнага пратэсту”. І ўсё гэта на фоне атак мігрантаў на беларуска-літоўскай мяжы і эскалацыі напружання ў рэгіёне з боку Расіі… Што стаіць за раптоўным рашэннем урада Літвы наконт узроўня бяспекі для Ціханоўскай і ці сапраўды тое рашэнне было нечаканым? Ці можна гэта рашэнне лічыць сігналам для усіх дэмсіл і ўвогуле беларусаў і што гэта за сігнал? Як Літва рэагуе на ініцыяваныя Трампам перамовы з Лукашэнкам і ці верыць у магчымасць адарваць Лукашэнку ад Расіі? На гэтыя ды іншыя пытанні ў эфіры Еўрарадыё адказвае выкладчык Інстытута міжнародных адносін і палітычных навук Віленскага ўніверсітэта, прадстаўнік Freedom House ў Літве, палітолаг Віціс Юрконіс

pWotD Episode 3028: Vladimir Putin Welcome to popular Wiki of the Day, spotlighting Wikipedia's most visited pages, giving you a peek into what the world is curious about today.With 142,070 views on Saturday, 16 August 2025 our article of the day is Vladimir Putin.Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin (born 7 October 1952) is a Russian politician and former intelligence officer who has served as President of Russia since 2012, having previously served from 2000 to 2008. Putin also served as Prime Minister of Russia from 1999 to 2000 and again from 2008 to 2012. Putin worked as a KGB foreign intelligence officer for 16 years, rising to the rank of lieutenant colonel. He resigned in 1991 to begin a political career in Saint Petersburg. In 1996, he moved to Moscow to join the administration of President Boris Yeltsin. He briefly served as the director of the Federal Security Service (FSB) and then as secretary of the Security Council of Russia before being appointed prime minister in August 1999. Following Yeltsin's resignation, Putin became acting president and, less than four months later in May 2000, was elected to his first term as president. He was reelected in 2004. Due to constitutional limitations of two consecutive presidential terms, Putin served as prime minister again from 2008 to 2012 under Dmitry Medvedev. He returned to the presidency in 2012, following an election marked by allegations of fraud and protests, and was reelected in 2018.During Putin's initial presidential tenure, the Russian economy grew on average by seven percent per year as a result of economic reforms and a fivefold increase in the price of oil and gas. Additionally, Putin led Russia in a conflict against Chechen separatists, re-establishing federal control over the region. While serving as prime minister under Medvedev, he oversaw a military conflict with Georgia and enacted military and police reforms. In his third presidential term, Russia annexed Crimea and supported a war in eastern Ukraine through several military incursions, resulting in international sanctions and a financial crisis in Russia. He also ordered a military intervention in Syria to support his ally Bashar al-Assad during the Syrian civil war, with the aim of obtaining naval bases in the Eastern Mediterranean.In February 2022, during his fourth presidential term, Putin launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine, which prompted international condemnation and led to expanded sanctions. In September 2022, he announced a partial mobilization and forcibly annexed four Ukrainian oblasts into Russia. In March 2023, the International Criminal Court issued an arrest warrant for Putin for war crimes related to his alleged criminal responsibility for illegal child abductions during the war. In April 2021, after a referendum, he signed constitutional amendments into law that included one allowing him to run for reelection twice more, potentially extending his presidency to 2036. In March 2024, he was reelected to another term.Under Putin's rule, the Russian political system has been transformed into an authoritarian dictatorship with a personality cult. His rule has been marked by endemic corruption and widespread human rights violations, including the imprisonment and suppression of political opponents, intimidation and censorship of independent media in Russia, and a lack of free and fair elections. Russia has consistently received very low scores on Transparency International's Corruption Perceptions Index, The Economist Democracy Index, Freedom House's Freedom in the World index, and the Reporters Without Borders' World Press Freedom Index.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 01:55 UTC on Sunday, 17 August 2025.For the full current version of the article, see Vladimir Putin on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm neural Olivia.

People are getting sick of evil billionaires. As democracy necrotizes, P. Diddy was convicted of prostitution but not trafficking. U.S. Citizen Andrea Velez was kidnapped by masked ICE thugs. Paramount got on it's knees and settled with President Diaper Rash. Senator Warren said the Paramount settlement was pure corruption. Democratic socialist Zohran Mamdani said he wouldn't be intimidated by Shitler's deportation threat. A CNN data load was stunned by Democrats' 70 point shift on Israel. The Crabs reviewed a Freedom House study which scored countries by their freedom where America underperformed. Long Island announced an increase in shark surveillance followed a "suspected" shark bite. As evidence of humanity becoming even more crappy, instances of snakes-on-a-plane have increased.

The North African country of Sudan marks two years of war this week. The fighting between rival military factions – the Sudanese army and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces – has killed an estimated 150,000 people and forced more than 15 million people from their homes. Almost 25 million people face acute hunger, according to United Nations agencies. It's the world's worst humanitarian crisis. How did Sudan get to this point? What's the current state of play in Sudan, and where does the country -- and the international community trying to support it -- go from here? Joining the show to answer some of these crucial questions two years into the war in Sudan is Quscondy Abdulshafi. He is a Senior Regional Advisor at Freedom House and has more than a decade of experience working on governance, democracy, and human rights in Africa and the United States.  Show Notes:Quscondy Abdulshafi's article for Just Security, "Two Years of War in Sudan: From Revolution to Ruin and the Fight to Rise Again"Just Security Podcast episode “Assessing the Origins, Dynamics, and Future of Conflict in Sudan” with Executive Editor Matiangai Sirleaf, and three experts, Laura Nyantung Beny, Nisrin Elamin, Hamid Khalafallah, on Oct. 11, 2024.  Just Security Sudan ArchiveMusic: “Broken” by David Bullard from Uppbeat: https://uppbeat.io/t/david-bullard/broken (License code: OSC7K3LCPSGXISVI)
