On the front page of the press this Thursday, April 23, no discussions on the climate during the G7, organized this Thursday and Friday in Paris, to keep the Americans on board. An investigation by German media into how the authorities track jihadists in their country, in particular thanks to documents transmitted by the FBI. And finally, the recent feats of artificial intelligence.

This may seem surprising, but France had to make concessions on the climate to keep the Americans on board, the newspaper Le Monde told us this morning. “If we start talking about it, there is no longer a G7,” reports the daily, quoting the words of the Minister of Ecological Transition, Monique Barbut. His ministry believes that: "The priority of the presidency is to preserve the unity of the G7, which is not the right forum" to address this subject, reports the newspaper.

But environmental subjects will be addressed, reassures the ministry, such as: launching an alliance to finance nature and people, or even discussing projects to protect biodiversity.

For many observers, not talking about climate seems like a missed opportunity, because the energy crisis created by the war in the Middle East has rekindled the urgency to move away from fossil fuels, according to them. “It’s aberrant, but also hypocritical,” one of them confided to the newspaper.

Germany: extensive hunt to identify IS jihadists

The German newspaper Die Süddeutsche Zeitung reports in an investigation how the authorities are tracking down jihadists, suspected of having been involved in the flood of refugees who arrived in Germany in 2015. The Federal Criminal Police Office is working to analyze a vast database made up of documents written by the Islamic State (IS) organization, recovered in Iraq and Syria and transmitted by the FBI. The objective: to identify and bring to justice the members of the terrorist organization staying in the country.

The German weekly Der Spiegel specifies that "In a single Arabic-language file alone, we find nearly 50,000 alleged members of the terrorist group." In addition to names, there are telephone numbers, dates of birth, money and food or family allowances paid to jihadists by the terrorist organization.

Some documents are tables that list weapons used by ISIS and their serial numbers. To identify jihadists present incognito in the country, German authorities compare these documents with those in the central foreigners register, where information on asylum seekers is found. Thanks to all this information, hundreds of investigations could still be opened.

The prowess of AI

The New York Times reports this morning how certain technologies can help the elderly, "as America ages rapidly", headlines the newspaper. Some objects can be companions, like a robotic dog that requires no maintenance.

The article also tells how a neurosurgeon takes care of her 76-year-old mother, who suffers from Alzheimer's, using certain technological tools: such as a box for pills, which she can control remotely, an application to change the channels from her phone... or even with her mother's agreement, using cameras to communicate and monitor her.

The Times, for its part, recounts the prowess of Ace, a robot manufactured by Sony. He plays table tennis and has even won some matches against humans.
