The pope described AI as an "extremely powerful tool" whose advantages and disadvantages depended on how it was used. "Th...

At the G7 summit in Italy, EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen on Friday advocated ratcheting up economic pressure on China in order to get trade relations back on track.

"Our objective has to be create leverage to get China to engage," said von der Leyen, according to summit participants in a round table discussion on economic security. "Without such leverage, China simply ignores our demands for a level playing field....

It will not go unpunished," he said in a speech at the Foreign Ministry in Moscow, according to the TASS news agency. The G7 summit began on Thursday in southern Italy with a deal to lend Ukraine $50 billion using the interest generated from frozen Russian state assets. The money...

On the sidelines of the G7 summit, US President Joe Biden gave Ukraine hope that it will soon be able to strengthen its own air defence with additional Patriot systems from abroad.

The US had also informed countries to which it had promised such systems that they would still have to wait. "Everything we have is going to Ukraine until its needs are met," the US president asserted. The US would then honour the commitments it had ...
