A drone nearly hit Zelenskyy's plane en route to Norway's royal funeral, hours after Putin played down any Russian threat to Europe in a call with Trump. Europe Today reports from the Riga security conference, and hears why an Anthropic researcher just quit, warning AI "is gambling with our lives."

On today's show:

Maria Tadeo reports live from the Rīga Conference in Latvia, where this year's focus is squarely on the Russian threat. She interviews Finland's Foreign Minister Elina Valtonen, whose country borders Russia.

Alicia García-Herrero, economist at the Bruegel think tank, on EU-China trade relations

Andrea Renda, Director of Research at the Centre for European Policy Studies (CEPS), on the bombshell resignation of an Anthropic employee, who warned of the danger of AI to humanity.
