    What Safeguarding Nukes Can Teach Us About Safeguarding A.I.

    Last night, President Trump welcomed Xi Jinping, China’s top leader, in a lavish ceremony as he arrived for two days of closely watched negotiations. Artificial intelligence — and what, if any, role the countries should play in regulating it as concerns mount about its risks — is expected to be on the agenda. David E. Sanger, a White House correspondent for The New York Times, explains how nuclear nonproliferation could be a model for how to protect humanity from technological catastrophe. Guest: David E.

    The Trump Administration Defangs the Endangered Species Act

    In its second term, the Trump administration has increased its efforts to undo environmental regulations. Last week, it became clear that the Endangered Species Act, one of America’s bedrock environmental laws, would be losing some of its most important protections. Catrin Einhorn, who covers biodiversity, explains what is changing and what impact that could have on the country’s most vulnerable animals and ecosystems.  Guest: Catrin Einhorn, a reporter covering biodiversity, climate and the environment for The New York Times.

    How a 1,000-Year-Old Tapestry Took London by Storm

    For the first time in centuries, the Bayeux Tapestry — a nearly 1,000-year-old piece of embroidery that depicts the invasion of England by William the Conqueror in 1066 — is on display in Britain. It was long said by art experts to be too fragile to move. But in a development that required geopolitical persuasion, this summer the tapestry made its way from Bayeux, France, to the British Museum in London. When the first block of tickets went on sale, the British Museum said, over 80,000 people at a time waited online to buy them. In this episode of the “Sunday Daily,” Alex Marshall, a culture reporter for The New York Times, talks with host Michael Barbaro about why this ancient piece of embroidery matters so much to the British public. On Today’s Episode: Alex Marshall is a European culture reporter for The New York Times, based in London.
