Now, reality TV personalities Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag have launched a similar class action lawsuit with 20 other affected property owners. The couple, who rose to stardom on reality TV show \u2018The Hills,\u2019 filed the lawsuit on Tuesday, blaming Los Angeles and its municipal water department for the mismanagement of water supplies.<\/p>\n<p>In both cases, the claimants say a lack of available <a href=https://www.euronews.com/"https:////www.euronews.com//green//2024//07//17//water-resilience-cant-be-ignored-21-member-states-warn-eu-executive/">water caused their homes to be destroyed.<\/p>\n<h2>Why are residents suing Los Angeles over the fires?<\/h2><p>Specifically, the cases allege that the Santa Ynez Reservoir, which can hold as much as 443 million litres of water, has been empty since February 2024.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Southern California relies on a lot of imported water to meet its needs. Around 50 to 60 per cent of its water is from the Colorado River, the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta and the Eastern Sierra.<\/p>\n<div class=\"widget widget--type-image widget--size-fullwidth widget--animation-fade-in widget--align-center\" data-ratio=\"0.6669921875\">\n <div class=\"widget__wrapper\">\n <div class=\"widget__ratio widget__ratio--auto\">\n <div class=\"widget__contents\">\n <figure class=\"widget__figure\">\n <img class=\"widgetImage__image\" loading=\"lazy\" src=https://www.euronews.com/"https:////static.euronews.com//articles//stories//09//00//19//72//808x539_cmsv2_b4198275-bc73-520c-9531-4dfcbb907c7d-9001972.jpg/" alt=\"Lawsuits allege that not enough water was available to save their homes.\" srcset=\"https:\/\/static.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/09\/00\/19\/72\/384x256_cmsv2_b4198275-bc73-520c-9531-4dfcbb907c7d-9001972.jpg 384w, https:\/\/static.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/09\/00\/19\/72\/640x427_cmsv2_b4198275-bc73-520c-9531-4dfcbb907c7d-9001972.jpg 640w, https:\/\/static.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/09\/00\/19\/72\/750x500_cmsv2_b4198275-bc73-520c-9531-4dfcbb907c7d-9001972.jpg 750w, https:\/\/static.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/09\/00\/19\/72\/828x552_cmsv2_b4198275-bc73-520c-9531-4dfcbb907c7d-9001972.jpg 828w, https:\/\/static.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/09\/00\/19\/72\/1080x720_cmsv2_b4198275-bc73-520c-9531-4dfcbb907c7d-9001972.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/static.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/09\/00\/19\/72\/1200x800_cmsv2_b4198275-bc73-520c-9531-4dfcbb907c7d-9001972.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/static.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/09\/00\/19\/72\/1920x1281_cmsv2_b4198275-bc73-520c-9531-4dfcbb907c7d-9001972.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 95vw, (max-width: 1024px) 80vw, (max-width: 1280px) 55vw, 728px\"\/>\n <figcaption class=\"widget__caption\">\n <span class=\"widget__captionWrap\">\n <span class=\"widget__captionText\">Lawsuits allege that not enough water was available to save their homes.<\/span>\n <span class=\"widget__captionCredit\">Jae C.

of President Donald Trump\u2019s first moves in office this week was to withdraw the US from the Paris Agreement, as he did the first time he was President. \n\nJust three days later, billionaire Michael Bloomberg stepped in to help the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) remain fully funded despite the US ending its international climate contributions. \n\nBloomberg, the former New York City mayor, a UN special envoy on climate change and, according to the Forbes\u2019 global billionaires list, the 16th richest person in the world, announced his funding pledge on 23 January. \n\nThe core of the UN climate organisation\u2019s budget comes from its almost 200 member countries. As the world\u2019s largest economy, the US usually pays the biggest dues at around 21 per cent. \n\n\u201cWe deeply appreciate the generous support from Bloomberg Philanthropies and the leadership shown by Mike Bloomberg,\u201d said Simon Stiell, United Nations Climate Change Executive Secretary. \n\n\u201cWhile government funding remains essential to our mission, contributions like this are vital in enabling the UN Climate Change secretariat to support countries in fulfilling their commitments under the Paris Agreement and a low-emission, resilient, and safer future for everyone.\u201d\n\nTrump\u2019s second withdrawal from Paris and Bloomberg\u2019s second intervention\n\nIn one of a slew of executive orders on Monday, including withdrawing from the World Health Organisation, Trump moved to withdraw the country from the Paris Agreement and end the country\u2019s international climate funding. \n\nTrump previously withdrew the US from the global climate accord during his first term in 2017, but the country soon rejoined under President Biden. It will take around a year for this new withdrawal to take effect - when it does, the US will join Iran, Libya and Yemen as the only UN countries not part of the agreement.\n\nFor now, Bloomberg Philanthropies, along with other US climate action financiers, have said they will cover the amount the US owes each year to the UNFCCC. It did not give details of the exact amounts of funding or who the other climate funders are.\n\n\u201cFrom 2017 to 2020, during a period of federal inaction, cities, states, businesses, and the public rose to the challenge to uphold our nation\u2019s commitments - and now, we are ready to do it again,\u201d Bloomberg in a statement.\n\nHe added that more and more Americans have had their lives torn apart by climate-fueled disasters like the wildfires raging in California. At the same time, he says the US is experiencing the \u201ceconomic benefits of clean energy\u201d with prices falling and jobs created across both Republican and Democratic states. \n\nBloomberg, a media billionaire, also pledged to work with states, cities and companies to ensure the US stays on track with its global climate commitments. That includes working with subnational climate leaders to track and report on the country\u2019s progress over the next four years. \n\n\u201cThe American people remain determined to continue the fight against the devastating effects of climate change.\u201d\n\n","htmlText":"<p>One of President Donald Trump\u2019s first moves in office this week was to withdraw the US from the Paris Agreement, as he did the first time he was President. <\/p>\n<p>Just three days later, billionaire Michael Bloomberg stepped in to help the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) remain fully funded despite the US ending its international climate contributions. <\/p>\n<p>Bloomberg, the former New York City mayor, a UN special envoy on climate change and, according to the Forbes\u2019 global <a href=https://www.euronews.com/"https:////www.euronews.com//green//2025//01//10//pollutocrat-day-the-richest-1-have-already-burnt-through-their-annual-carbon-budget-oxfam-/">billionaires list, the 16th richest person in the world, announced his funding pledge on 23 January. <\/p>\n<p>The core of the UN climate organisation\u2019s budget comes from its almost 200 member countries.

US Senate has confirmed President Donald Trump's nominee John Ratcliffe as director of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), making him the second Cabinet member of Trump's administration. \n\nRatcliffe was the director of national intelligence during Trump\u2019s first term, and is the first person to hold that role and the top job at the CIA. \n\nThe Senate voted to confirm Ratcliffe by 74-25, with 20 Democrats and one independent joining Republicans in backing Trump's pick.\n\nThe Texas Republican and former federal prosecutor outlined his vision for the CIA at a Senate hearing last week, arguing that the agency should be less averse to risk and more willing to undergo covert operations. \n\n\u201cWe will collect intelligence, especially human intelligence, in every corner of the globe no matter how dark or difficult,\" he said at the hearing. \"We will conduct covert actions at the direction of the president, going places no one else can go and doing things no one else can do.\"\n\nAlthough he did not go into specifics on US intelligence priorities, Ratcliffe said that the agency should better utilise technology like artificial intelligence and quantum computing to confront adversaries including Russia and China. \n\n\"We\u2019re not where we\u2019re supposed to be,\" Ratcliffe told members of the Senate Intelligence Committee.\n\nRatcliffe has said he views China as the country's greatest geopolitical rival, and that Russia, Iran, North Korea pose challenges to national security. He has also raised the threats presented by drug cartels, hacking gangs and terrorist organisations.\n\nAlthough some Democrats had raised questions about Ratcliffe's ability to run the agency objectively, the new director said during his hearing that he would lead the CIA free of \"political and personal bias\".\n\nTrump and other Republicans have previously criticised the work of the CIA and other spy agencies, claiming they focused too much on issues such as climate change and workforce diversity. The calls for a broad overhaul have caused concern among some current and ex-intelligence officials who say the changes could make the US less safe.\n\nTrump has long been suspicious of intelligence agencies, having previously accused them of trying to undermine his first term in office as well as his electoral campaigns. \n\nDuring his first tenure as president, Trump portrayed officials in such agencies as part of a so-called \"deep state\" plot against him and infamously sided against the country's intelligence officials and with Russian President Vladimir Putin in 2018 when asked if he believed Moscow meddled in the 2016 election. \n\nHowever, as with other Trump nominees, Ratcliffe is a loyalist of the president. Aside from his work to defend Trump during his first impeachment proceedings, Ratcliffe also forcefully questioned former special counsel Robert Mueller when he testified before lawmakers about his investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election\n\nRatcliffe has been previously accused by Democrats of politicising intelligence when he declassified Russian intelligence that alleged to reveal damaging information about Democrats during the 2016 election, despite acknowledging it may not be true. \n\nThe new CIA director becomes the second member of Trump's administration after former Florida senator Marco Rubio was named secretary of state this week. \n\nTrump\u2019s second-term nominee for director of national intelligence, controversial former Democratic congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard, likely faces a tougher path to confirmation. \n\nGabbard has faced criticism from Democrats and Republicans alike over past controversial comments in support of Russia and 2017 meetings with then-Syrian President Bashar al-Assad. Her hearing is scheduled for the 30 January. \n\n","htmlText":"<p>The US Senate has confirmed President Donald Trump's nominee John Ratcliffe as director of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), making him the second Cabinet member of Trump's administration. <\/p>\n<p>Ratcliffe was the director of national intelligence during Trump\u2019s first term, and is the first person to hold that role and the top job at the CIA. <\/p>\n<p>The Senate voted to confirm Ratcliffe by 74-25, with 20 Democrats and one independent joining Republicans in backing Trump's pick.<\/p>\n<p>The Texas Republican and former federal prosecutor outlined his vision for the CIA at a Senate hearing last week, arguing that the agency should be less averse to risk and more willing to undergo covert operations. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe will collect intelligence, especially human intelligence, in every corner of the globe no matter how dark or difficult,\" he said at the hearing. \"We will conduct covert actions at the direction of the president, going places no one else can go and doing things no one else can do.\"<\/p>\n<p>Although he did not go into specifics on US intelligence priorities, Ratcliffe said that the agency should better utilise technology like artificial intelligence and quantum computing to confront adversaries including Russia and China. <\/p>\n<p>\"We\u2019re not where we\u2019re supposed to be,\" Ratcliffe told members of the Senate Intelligence Committee.<\/p>\n<p>Ratcliffe has said he views China as the country's greatest geopolitical rival, and that Russia, Iran, North Korea pose challenges to national security.

The decision came during the first hearing in a multi-state effort challenging the order.\n\nUS District Judge John Coughenour repeatedly interrupted a Justice Department lawyer during arguments to ask how he could consider the order constitutional. When the attorney, Brett Shumate, said he\u2019d like a chance to explain it in a full briefing, Coughenour told him the hearing was his chance.\n\nThe temporary restraining order sought by Arizona, Illinois, Oregon and Washington was the first to get a hearing before a judge and applies nationally.\n\nThe case is one of five lawsuits being brought by 22 states and a number of immigrant rights groups across the country. The suits include personal testimonies from attorney generals who are US citizens by birthright and names of pregnant women who are afraid their children won\u2019t become US citizens.\n\nCoughenour, a Ronald Reagan appointee, grilled the DOJ attorneys, saying the order \u201cboggles the mind\u201d.\n\n\u201cThis is a blatantly unconstitutional order,\u201d Coughenour told Shumate. The judge said he\u2019s been on the bench for more than four decades, and he couldn\u2019t remember seeing another case where the action challenged so clearly violated the constitution.\n\nShumate said he respectfully disagreed and asked the judge for an opportunity to have a full briefing on the merits of the case, rather than have a 14-day restraining order issued blocking its implementation.\n\nImmigration attorneys believe Trump may be trying to end birthright citizenship as a deterrent to combat illegal migration.\n\n\u201cI think the theory that the Trump administration has is that if they deny certain immigrants access to birthright citizenship for their children, people won't want to come to the United States, whether on a temporary visa or coming illegally, that that will be a deterrent,\u201d says Julia Gelatt, Associate Director of the US Immigration Policy Programme at the Migrant Policy Institute.\n\nGelatt says immigrants come to the US seeking better economic conditions and opportunities, and a better environment to raise their kids. \u201cI\u2019m not sure that birthright citizenship is a big factor in many people\u2019s minds when they decide to migrate,\u201d she added.\n\nMigrants make dangerous journeys to the border, risking their lives to potentially get across. Gelatt notes that the decision to embark on such a treacherous journey is driven by wanting \u201cfreedom from political repression\u201d and a desire to support their family better, regardless of whether or not their children are US citizens.\n\nThe judge\u2019s ruling is temporary, but if it becomes permanent, it will prove a major difficulty to Trump if he wants to instate the changes, and it could take a really long time to pass.\n\nIf the 47th US president persists in making the change, it would likely require a change to the US Constitution\u2019s 14th Amendment.\n\nThe 14th Amendment clearly states in Section 1, \u201cAll persons born or naturalised in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside\u201d.\n\nGelatt says the Trump administration says that people born in the United States have to be quote \u201csubject to the jurisdiction thereof\u201d. She argues that that\u2019s the \u201clinchpin\u201d of their legal battle ahead.\n\nAny constitutional changes in the US are incredibly difficult to achieve. For that to happen, three quarters of all US states would have to agree, then two-thirds of both chambers of Congress \u2013 The House of Representatives and The Senate \u2013 would also have to approve the change.\n\nThe Department of Justice later said in a statement that it will \u201cvigorously defend\u201d the president\u2019s executive order, which it said \u201ccorrectly interprets the 14th Amendment of the US Constitution.\u201d\n\n\u201cWe look forward to presenting a full merits argument to the Court and to the American people, who are desperate to see our Nation\u2019s laws enforced,\u201d the department said.\n\nThe US is among approximately 30 countries where birthright citizenship \u2014 the principle of jus soli or \u201cright of the soil\u201d \u2014 is applied. Most are in the Americas, with Canada and Mexico among them.\n\nThe lawsuits argue that the 14th Amendment to the US Constitution guarantees citizenship for people born and naturalised in the US, and states have been interpreting the amendment that way for a century.\n\nTrump\u2019s order asserts that the children of non-citizens are not subject to US jurisdiction, and orders federal agencies not to recognise citizenship for children who don\u2019t have at least one parent who is a US citizen.\n\nThe newly sworn-in president reacted to the news saying, \u201cobviously, we will appeal\u201d the decision. Trump also added that he wasn\u2019t surprised by the decision criticising who he mocked as the \u201ccertain judge in Seattle\u201d, noting that \u201cthere\u2019s no surprises with that judge\u201d.\n\n","htmlText":"<p>A federal judge on Thursday temporarily blocked US President Donald Trump\u2019s executive order redefining birthright citizenship, calling it \u201cblatantly unconstitutional\u201d.

Trump's administration has put a freeze on many US health agency communications through at least the end of the month, according to a memo obtained by the Associated Press.\n\nDorothy Fink, acting secretary of the US Health and Human Services department (HHS), told agency staff leaders in the memo this week that an \"immediate pause\" had been ordered on communications including regulations, guidance, press releases, and social media posts, until they have been approved by a political appointee.\n\nAgencies such as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the National Institutes of Health (NIH), and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) are all subject to the directive.\n\nOfficials did not respond to requests for comment on the pause, which was first reported by The Washington Post.\n\nFour federal health officials speaking on condition of anonymity because they weren\u2019t authorised to discuss the issue confirmed the communication pause to the AP.\n\nRestoring 'hierarchy'\n\nA former HHS official said on Wednesday that it\u2019s not unusual for incoming administrations to pause agency communications for review.\n\nBut typically, officials working on the president\u2019s transition team have the process for issuing documents running smoothly by inauguration day.\n\n\"The executive branch is a hierarchy,\" said Steven Grossman, who now consults for food and drug companies, in an email.\n\n\"Whether stated publicly or not, every new administration wants important commitments and positions to wait until new teams are in place and some semblance of hierarchy restored\".\n\nA pause is reasonable as a changing executive branch takes steps to become coordinated, said Dr Ali Khan, a former CDC outbreak investigator who is now dean of the University of Nebraska\u2019s public health college.\n\n\"The only concern would be is if this is a prelude to going back to a prior approach of silencing the agencies around a political narrative,\" he added.\n\nFink wrote in her memo that some exceptions would be made for communications affecting \u201ccritical health, safety, environmental, financial or nation security functions,\u201d but that those would be subject to review. \n\n'Every second counts'\n\nA consumer advocacy group said the communications pause could still threaten public safety.\n\nAmericans depend on timely information from the CDC, the FDA, and other agencies to avoid foodborne illnesses and stay aware of other health issues, said Dr Peter Lurie, president of the Center for Science in the Public Interest.\n\n\"When it comes to stopping outbreaks, every second counts,\" Lurie said in a statement. \n\n\"Confusion around the vaguely worded gag order is likely to lead to unnecessary delay in publishing urgent public alerts during active outbreaks\".\n\nHe was echoed by Dr Jeffrey Klausner, a University of Southern California public health expert.\n\n\"Local health officials and doctors depend on the CDC to get disease updates, timely prevention, testing and treatment guidelines and information about outbreaks,\" Klausner wrote in an email.\n\n\"Shutting down public health

In Emilia P\u00e9rez, re-recording mixer Cyril Holtz confirmed at Cannes last year that he improved the singing performance of lead actress Karla Sof\u00eda Gasc\u00f3n with AI. \n\nThe Brutalist director Brady Corbet has defended the decision. \n\n\u201cAdrien and Felicity\u2019s performances are completely their own,\u201d he said. \u201cInnovative Respeecher technology was used in Hungarian language dialogue editing only, specifically to refine certain vowels and letters for accuracy. No English language was changed.\u201d\n\nAdditionally, Corbet clarified that it \u201cwas a manual process\u201d done by both film and Respeecher teams meant to \u201cpreserve the authenticity of Adrien and Felicity\u2019s performances in another language, not to replace or alter them and done with the utmost respect for the craft.\u201d\n\nCorbet\u2019s comments have him straddling the battle lines drawn up in recent years over film\u2019s use of AI. In 2023, for the first time since 1960 both the Writers Guild of America (WGA) and SAG-AFTRA went on strike simultaneously. \n\nIn one of the longest union strikes in Hollywood\u2019s history, a key issue was studios using AI. \u201cThere was a lot of concern around the implications of AI in Hollywood and how employers might try to use it to undermine pay and working conditions,\u201d Erica Knox, senior research and policy analyst at the WGA tells Euronews Culture. \n\nThe WGA and SAG-AFTRA went to the studios with proposals to protect their writers and actors from losing work to AI. Studios initially refused to negotiate on the topic, hence the strikes. \n\nBy the end of the WGA strikes in late September 2023, the union had won provisions to regulate the use of AI. \n\n\u201cWhat these proposals really do, at the heart of it, is they prevent employers from using AI to replace writers or lower their pay,\u201d Knox explains. AI can\u2019t be treated as if it\u2019s a human writer, meaning any contribution to \u2013 and therefore compensation by \u2013 a human writer can\u2019t be diminished by the inclusion of AI. \n\nWriters also must be informed that they are working on material that has used AI and can\u2019t be compelled to use the tool in their writing process. Similarly, the actors union SAG-AFTRA eventually negotiated in November 2023 that actors must consent directly to the use of any AI-based replica of them for a performance beyond what was originally scripted for them. \n\nWhile the strikes were ultimately a victory for the unions, they didn\u2019t entirely stipend studios from the use of AI in productions. It\u2019s here that the current battle of AI use in film emerges.\n\nFighting against AI post-strikes \n\nFrom the WGA\u2019s standpoint, for example, much of the issue comes from the ways AI uses copyright protected material in their machine learning models. The union fought hard to create the copyright protections for writers\u2019 works, yet companies that are outside of the Hollywood system scrape that data wholesale. \n\n\u201cWe see this as a massive theft of our writers' work,\u201d Knox says. \u201cJust generally speaking too, human creativity is a key ingredient of all the film and TV projects that we all love. Undermining that or removing human creativity means it's less meaningful and enjoyable for everyone.\u201d \n\nIt\u2019s a point that was keenly felt by director duo Scott Beck and Bryan Woods when making last year\u2019s Heretic. In the film\u2019s credits, there\u2019s a line that reads: \u201cNo Generative AI was used in the making of this film\u201d. \n\nWoods told Variety that he considered AI \u201can algorithm jumbling a bunch of shit together and then spitting it out as art. It\u2019s not human and it\u2019s borderline theft on some level.\u201d \n\n\u201cIt\u2019s important for people to start talking about the need for human intersection in art, business and every facet of this life, because we\u2019re on the precipice of every job on planet Earth being replaced overnight. It\u2019s going to happen so fast. And it\u2019s easy for it to happen in the arts. We\u2019re in a business that is exceptionally greedy. Decisions are made for the bottom line and not for the good of the artistic process,\u201d Woods continued. \n\nOn the flip-side, many studios have thrown themselves at AI tools believing them the future of the profession. In September last year, Lionsgate announced a deal with AI firm Runway to train a new model that can \u201caugment their work\u201d. Later that month, Avatar director James Cameron joined the board of directors for Stability AI, an AI company known for its text-to-image model. \n\nAI tools for filmmakers, by filmmakers \n\nDefenders of AI say that the technology has the ability to work in tandem with creatives to enhance and not subtract from people working in the arts. One such defender is British filmmaker Scott Mann. \n\nMann has directed multiple Hollywood projects, most recently 2022\u2019s Fall. He\u2019s also the co-CEO and founder of Flawless AI, a generative AI start-up intent on revolutionising film editing. \n\nHis first interest in AI was founded through seeing a terrible foreign language dub of his film Heist (also known as Bus 657). \n\n\u201cRobert De Niro and Jefferey Dean Morgan gave great performances and seeing those ruined in the old dubbing process, I didn\u2019t realise the amount of compromises that went into that equation,\u201d Mann tells Euronews Culture. \n\nMann sought out solutions and founded Flawless. The first product for Flawless was an AI tool that could improve the foreign dubbing process, reshaping actors' mouths and performances to fit the new language\u2019s words. \n\nThat product, TrueSync, was followed up by DeepEditor. With DeepEditor, filmmakers can film normally and then \u201cdo things like edit performances together, move cameras about and do different adjustments.\u201d \n\n\u201cThat for me is like the ultimate filmmaking tool. I'll be able to make films like 10 times faster, 10 times better. That\u2019s what this has always been about,\u201d Mann explains. \n\nIf this all sounds like the comments of a typical AI CEO with speed and profitability as their only motivation, Mann assures that this is all about art. \n\n\u201cWhy am I a filmmaker?\u201d he asks. \u201cIt\u2019s because I\u2019ve pursued the idea that through art you can have an impact on the human condition. And filmmaking is the most technologically advanced form of art we have today.\u201d \n\nMann, and Flawless he argues, aren\u2019t trying to deprive anyone of the work making films. He wants it to be democratised. Filmmaking is a prohibitively expensive artform, financially and temporally. \n\nWith reduced timings and costs, \u201cyou start getting into a cycle of a more investable film industry model where you can afford originality again, because we haven't been able to afford it,\u201d Mann says, echoing the common criticism that Hollywood studios have increasingly only invested in hugely expensive guaranteed bankable titles. \n\nThe unions\u2019 complaints though were that these tools limit the use of creativity. From his background as a filmmaker, Mann argues tools can still help that and not just ceaselessly create derivative works. \u201cYou have to build tools that reward originality,\u201d he says. \n\nThis is where one of Flawless\u2019s most interesting products comes in. Artistic Rights Treasury (ART) is a tool Flawless developed alongside the unions to build in agreements that limit the use of an actor's performance to just the production they\u2019ve agreed to work on. First created before the strikes, it mirrors much of what SAG-AFTRA fought with the major studios to have. \n\n\u201cYou should own the rights to the things that are kind of going into these training models,\u201d Mann tells Euronews Culture. An actor agreeing for their performance to be used in one film shouldn\u2019t give studios the right to create other works with it. \n\n\u201cIt\u2019s all got to be handled and consented through the core owners of the materials, the original performers.\u201d \n\nMann\u2019s artist-first approach to an AI filmmaking company feels refreshing in a landscape where tech bros gleefully applaud the potential for these tools to strip the arts of their employees. As AI improves, it\u2019s undoubtedly going to increasingly be used in films, one of the most high-tech artistic mediums.\n\nHowever, as The Brutalist and Emilia P\u00e9rez have shown, it won\u2019t be without controversy. \n\n","htmlText":"<p>Artificial intelligence is at the centre of a new controversy facing Oscar-nominated films this year after production members of Golden Globe-winners <em>The Brutalist<\/em> and <em>Emilia P\u00e9rez<\/em> confirmed it was used in both films to enhance performances. <\/p>\n<p>For the hotly-tipped <a href=https://www.euronews.com/"https:////www.euronews.com//culture//2024//09//02//venice-2024-review-the-brutalist-brady-corbets-masterful-american-saga/">The Brutalist<\/strong><\/em><\/a>, editor D\u00e1vid Jancs\u00f3 said that he used AI to perfect lead actors Adrien Brody and Felicity Jones\u2019 Hungarian dialogue.

It\u2019s not human and it\u2019s borderline theft on some level.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s important for people to start talking about the need for human intersection in art, business and every facet of this life, because we\u2019re on the precipice of every job on planet Earth being replaced overnight. It\u2019s going to happen so fast. And it\u2019s easy for it to happen in the arts. We\u2019re in a business that is exceptionally greedy. Decisions are made for the bottom line and not for the good of the artistic process,\u201d Woods continued. <\/p>\n<p>On the flip-side, many studios have thrown themselves at AI tools believing them the future of the profession. In September last year, Lionsgate announced a deal with AI firm Runway to train a new model that can \u201caugment their work\u201d. Later that month, <a href=https://www.euronews.com/"https:////www.euronews.com//culture//2025//01//20//james-cameron-shares-updates-about-third-avatar-film-avatar-fire-and-ash/">Avatar director <a href=https://www.euronews.com/"https:////deadline.com//2024//09//james-cameron-joins-stability-ai-board-of-directors-1236097835///">James Cameron joined<\/strong><\/a> the board of directors for Stability AI, an AI company known for its text-to-image model. <\/p>\n<h2>AI tools for filmmakers, by filmmakers<\/h2><p>Defenders of AI say that the technology has the ability to work in tandem with creatives to enhance and not subtract from people working in the arts. One such defender is British filmmaker Scott Mann. <\/p>\n<p>Mann has directed multiple Hollywood projects, most recently 2022\u2019s <em>Fall<\/em>. He\u2019s also the co-CEO and founder of Flawless AI, a generative AI start-up intent on revolutionising film editing. <\/p>\n<p>His first interest in AI was founded through seeing a terrible foreign language dub of his film <em>Heist<\/em> (also known as <em>Bus 657<\/em>). <\/p>\n<p>\u201cRobert De Niro and Jefferey Dean Morgan gave great performances and seeing those ruined in the old dubbing process, I didn\u2019t realise the amount of compromises that went into that equation,\u201d Mann tells Euronews Culture. <\/p>\n<p>Mann sought out solutions and founded Flawless. The first product for Flawless was an AI tool that could improve the foreign dubbing process, reshaping actors' mouths and performances to fit the new language\u2019s words. <\/p>\n<p>That product, TrueSync, was followed up by DeepEditor. With DeepEditor, filmmakers can film normally and then \u201cdo things like edit performances together, move cameras about and do different adjustments.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat for me is like the ultimate filmmaking tool. I'll be able to make films like 10 times faster, 10 times better. That\u2019s what this has always been about,\u201d Mann explains. <\/p>\n<div class=\"widget widget--type-youtube-embed\nwidget--size-fullwidth\nwidget--align-center\">\n <div class=\"widget__wrapper\">\n <figure class=\"widget__figure\">\n <div class=\"auto widget__ratio widget__ratio--16x9\">\n <iframe type=\"text\/html\" src=https://www.euronews.com/"https:////www.youtube.com//embed//iQ1OPpj8gPA/" width=\"100%\" loading=\"lazy\" frameborder=\"0\" seamless>\n <\/iframe>\n <\/div>\n <\/figure>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>If this all sounds like the comments of a typical AI CEO with speed and profitability as their only motivation, Mann assures that this is all about art. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhy am I a filmmaker?\u201d he asks. \u201cIt\u2019s because I\u2019ve pursued the idea that through art you can have an impact on the human condition. And filmmaking is the most technologically advanced form of art we have today.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Mann, and Flawless he argues, aren\u2019t trying to deprive anyone of the work making films. He wants it to be democratised. Filmmaking is a prohibitively expensive artform, financially and temporally. <\/p>\n<p>With reduced timings and costs, \u201cyou start getting into a cycle of a more investable film industry model where you can afford originality again, because we haven't been able to afford it,\u201d Mann says, echoing the common criticism that Hollywood studios have increasingly only invested in hugely expensive guaranteed bankable titles. <\/p>\n<p>The unions\u2019 complaints though were that these tools limit the use of creativity. From his background as a filmmaker, Mann argues tools can still help that and not just ceaselessly create derivative works. \u201cYou have to build tools that reward originality,\u201d he says. <\/p>\n<div class=\"widget widget--type-image widget--size-fullwidth widget--animation-fade-in widget--align-center\" data-ratio=\"0.6666666666666666\">\n <div class=\"widget__wrapper\">\n <div class=\"widget__ratio widget__ratio--auto\">\n <div class=\"widget__contents\">\n <figure class=\"widget__figure\">\n <img class=\"widgetImage__image\" loading=\"lazy\" src=https://www.euronews.com/"https:////static.euronews.com//articles//stories//08//99//49//60//808x539_cmsv2_eeb33403-55d6-5940-a0c4-1fd63865b39a-8994960.jpg/" alt=\"Striking writers and actors take part in a rally outside Netflix studio in Los Angeles on Friday, July 14, 2023. \" srcset=\"https:\/\/static.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/08\/99\/49\/60\/384x256_cmsv2_eeb33403-55d6-5940-a0c4-1fd63865b39a-8994960.jpg 384w, https:\/\/static.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/08\/99\/49\/60\/640x427_cmsv2_eeb33403-55d6-5940-a0c4-1fd63865b39a-8994960.jpg 640w, https:\/\/static.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/08\/99\/49\/60\/750x500_cmsv2_eeb33403-55d6-5940-a0c4-1fd63865b39a-8994960.jpg 750w, https:\/\/static.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/08\/99\/49\/60\/828x552_cmsv2_eeb33403-55d6-5940-a0c4-1fd63865b39a-8994960.jpg 828w, https:\/\/static.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/08\/99\/49\/60\/1080x720_cmsv2_eeb33403-55d6-5940-a0c4-1fd63865b39a-8994960.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/static.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/08\/99\/49\/60\/1200x800_cmsv2_eeb33403-55d6-5940-a0c4-1fd63865b39a-8994960.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/static.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/08\/99\/49\/60\/1920x1280_cmsv2_eeb33403-55d6-5940-a0c4-1fd63865b39a-8994960.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 95vw, (max-width: 1024px) 80vw, (max-width: 1280px) 55vw, 728px\"\/>\n <figcaption class=\"widget__caption\">\n <span class=\"widget__captionWrap\">\n <span class=\"widget__captionText\">Striking writers and actors take part in a rally outside Netflix studio in Los Angeles on Friday, July 14, 2023. <\/span>\n <span class=\"widget__captionCredit\">Chris Pizzello\/AP<\/span>\n <\/span>\n <\/figcaption>\n <\/figure>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>This is where one of Flawless\u2019s most interesting products comes in. Artistic Rights Treasury (ART) is a tool Flawless developed alongside the unions to build in agreements that limit the use of an actor's performance to just the production they\u2019ve agreed to work on. First created before the strikes, it mirrors much of what SAG-AFTRA fought with the major studios to have. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou should own the rights to the things that are kind of going into these training models,\u201d Mann tells Euronews Culture. An actor agreeing for their performance to be used in one film shouldn\u2019t give studios the right to create other works with it. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s all got to be handled and consented through the core owners of the materials, the original performers.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Mann\u2019s artist-first approach to an AI filmmaking company feels refreshing in a landscape where tech bros gleefully applaud the potential for these tools to strip the arts of their employees. As AI improves, it\u2019s undoubtedly going to increasingly be used in films, one of the most high-tech artistic mediums.<\/p>\n<p>However, as <em>The Brutalist<\/em> and <em>Emilia P\u00e9rez<\/em>

The price fell dramatically on Sunday after First Lady Melania Trump announced the launch of her own meme coin, which also saw an initial price spike followed by a large fall. As of Tuesday afternoon, Trump's meme coin was trading at about $45 (\u20ac44) while the Melania meme coin was at about $4.\n\nTrump named SEC Commissioner Mark Uyeda as the agency's acting chief Tuesday and Uyeda quickly announced he was launching a new crypto task force to set the SEC on a \"sensible regulatory path\". Trump has promised to create a US bitcoin stockpile and enact industry-friendly rules that make it easier for crypto companies to access the broader financial market.\n\nBut, by associating himself so closely with meme coins, some crypto fans worry that Trump hurts his ability to enact reforms.\n\n\"Now, on the cusp of getting some liberalisation of crypto regulations in this country, the main thing people are thinking about crypto is: 'Oh, it's just a casino for these meme coins'\", said Nic Carter, a Trump supporter and partner at the crypto investment firm Castle Island Ventures. \"It does the opposite of validating us, it makes it look completely unserious.\"\n\nThe sale of Trump meme coins was organised by CIC Digital, an affiliate of the Trump Organization. In promoting the meme coin, Trump told supporters to: \"Have Fun!\" The website selling the tokens says they are meant as expressions of support and not an investment opportunity. The coin's website said 200 million Trump meme coins are currently available, with plans to issue one billion over the next three years.\n\nThe Trump family business recently released an ethics agreement that prohibits Trump from \"day-to-day\" decision making at the Trump Organization during his presidency and limits financial information about the business shared with him.\n\nThe president and first lady were not the only ones promoting new cryptocurrencies around the inauguration. Lorenzo Sewell, the Michigan pastor who gave a spirited inaugural invocation on Monday, announced the launch of a new coin named after him, which he said would be used to benefit his church.\n\n\"I need you to do me a favour right now, I need to you to go buy the official Lorenzo Sewell coin\", Sewell said in a video post on social media.\n\n","htmlText":"<p>President Donald Trump's goodwill in the cryptocurrency industry has taken a hit after he and his wife launched meme coins - a move critics say looks like an unseemly cash grab that undermines an effort to legitimise digital assets.<\/p>\n<p>The industry, which felt unfairly targeted by the Biden administration and spent heavily to help Trump win, is eager for the new president's help to make crypto a bigger part of mainstream financial systems.

The fire created massive plumes of dark smoke near Lake Castaic, a popular recreation area about 65 kilometres away from where the Eaton and Palisades fires are ongoing for a third week.\n\nAn almost 50 km stretch of a major highway was closed as flames raced along hilltops and down into rugged canyons.

As of Wednesday, the Palisades fire was contained at 68% while the Eaton blaze was at 91%.\n\nThe two fires have by far been the most destructive of the numerous fires to grip LA simultaneously. They\u2019ve killed at least 28 people, though authorities believe the death toll could potentially be higher as they continue to investigate almost two-dozen active missing person reports.\n\nThe two fires have also destroyed more than 14,000 structures since they erupted on 7 January. The umbrella term is used by authorities to describe anything from a large building to a backyard shed.\n\nSeveral lawsuits were filed by people who lost their homes in the Eaton fire. They allege that Southern California Edison\u2019s equipment \u2013 the primary electric utility company for most of Southern California \u2013 was faulty and accused it of starting the blaze.\n\nOn Tuesday, a judge overseeing one of the lawsuits ordered the company to produce date from circuits in the area where the fire started.\n\nUS President Donald Trump criticised the response to the wildfires during his inaugural address on Monday, and said he will travel to Los Angeles on Friday. Local officials in Los Angeles say the details of Trump\u2019s visit are still being worked out. \u00a0\n\n","htmlText":"<p>Evacuations were ordered on Wednesday for remote communities near a huge and fast-moving wildfire in mountains north of Los Angeles.<\/p>\n<p>More than 31,000 people have been ordered to evacuate while another 23,000 are under evacuation warnings, according to Los Angeles County Sheriff, Robert Luna.<\/p>\n<p>It comes as parched Southern California endured another round of dangerous winds, ahead of possible rain over the weekend.<\/p>\n<p>The Hughes Fire broke out on Wednesday morning and quickly ripped through nearly 40 square kilometres of trees and brush.

Whether or not you want to us to exist is secondary to the simple fact that we do. The sun does not care if you sign an executive order telling it to stop rising each morning. It just continues to rise.\u201d\n\nRock band Garbage wrote on Instagram: \u201cQueer,trans and non binary peoples have existed since the dawn of time. They will continue to exist whether you choose to recognize this or not. They will exist long past the current administration and long past all of our lifetimes.\u201d\n\nThe post continued: \u201cAn enormous shout out to so many of our beautiful friends who have to wake up this morning feeling pressured and fearful. We stand with you all. You belong in this world as much as anyone else does. Of course you all know this. Only an uneducated person or an unnecessarily cruel person would think otherwise. We send you our love this morning and every morning. You go on being beautiful you. That\u2019s what you do. Go baby go. We are right behind you.\u201d\n\nRuPaul\u2019s Drag Race judge Michelle Visage shared a snippet of Trump\u2019s speech on Instagram Stories and wrote over it: \u201cYOU WILL NOT ERASE MY CHILD.\u201d\n\nDrag Race luminaries like Niecy Nash and Cynthia Lee Fontaine commented on GLAAD\u2019s update on Trump\u2019s ruling. Fontaine commented: \u201cTrash. But we will continue to ensure we will continued with our rights. We will NOT be silent.\u201d\n\nElsewhere, Norwegian singer-songwriter AURORA took to Instagram Stories to speak to her transgender followers:\u00a0\u201cTo all my [transgender] friends, coworkers and in general all the beautiful members of the trans community in the USA, which if haven\u2019t had the pleasure to meet yet. I am in deep sorrow of how you have been failed by your own government.\u201d\n\nShe continued: \u201cThe right to be seen and heard is truly important. And the right to be who we truly are, is vital. I want you to know that my heart is with you. And my concern with the way the world is moving is deepened. The fear of the unknown, and the fear of what is different is not something we\u2019re born with. It\u2019s learnt.\u201d\n\n\u201cAnd I hope once again \u2013 we\u2019ll remain reminded of the power of love and the power of the people.

Whether or not you want to us to exist is secondary to the simple fact that we do. The sun does not care if you sign an executive order telling it to stop rising each morning.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio kicked off the Trump administration's diplomatic efforts with a meeting of the Indo-Pacific \"Quad\" group, a collection of countries gathered together in order to counter China's rising power. \n\nRubio is known for his hardline stance against China, and called the country the most \"potent, dangerous and near-peer adversary this nation has ever confronted\" at his confirmation hearing last week.\n\nThe former Florida senator has been sanctioned by China twice for his remarks on its human rights record and Hong Kong. \n\nThe timing of the meeting suggests that combating China's influence will remain a top priority for Trump and his chief diplomat.\n\nThe Quad was established in 2007 to bring together countries that worked together in response to the 2004 tsunami in the Indian Ocean, with security only one part of its role. Today, the group forms a key component of the US's China policy. \n\nRubio \u2014 who was confirmed by the Senate as secretary of state with unanimous support \u2014 will play a lead role in shaping Trump's foreign policy during his four-year term. \n\nAddressing State Department employees after his confirmation, he called on them to forcefully defend and execute Trump's \"America First\" mantra, saying that US foreign policy would be centred \"on one thing, and that is the advancement of our national interest\" \u2014 defining that as \"anything that makes us stronger or safer or more prosperous\".\n\nAt his confirmation hearing, the former Florida senator devoted a significant portion of his time to painting a dark vision of what he called the US' \"unbalanced relationship\" with China.\n\nAlthough he touched on issues in the Middle East, Latin America and eastern Europe, Rubio called China the single biggest threat to US prosperity in the 21st century, and called for a drastic change of direction in Washington's dealings with Beijing. \n\nHe blamed America's vulnerability to China on a shift to \"globalism\", and said the US must pivot to putting its national interests above everything else. \n\nTrump has promised to take a hardline approach to China as president, including by threatening to impose massive tariffs on Chinese imports. He claims the measure is needed to punish China for sending fentanyl, a lethal opioid drug, to the US via Mexico and Canada.\n\nThe Chinese Foreign Ministry responded on Wednesday saying that it would defend its \"national interests\" against such a threat, insisting that it believed there \"are no winners in a trade war or a tariff war\".\n\nTrump has also stepped in to pause a ban on the social media app TikTok, which is owned by Chinese company ByteDance.
