the window blew in and i heard my wife shout, help! the chimney had come down through the roof. major come down through the roof. ma'or incidents have d come down through the roof. ma'or incidents have been declared �* come down through the roof. major incidents have been declared in jersey. the storm is moving up the east coast. hundreds more people with foreign passports try to live gaza through the rafah crossing. the bank of england leaves interest rates unchanged at 5.25%. winds of more than a hundred miles an hour have been battering jersey, as storm ciaran hits the channel islands and much hundreds of schools are closed and in many areas, people are being urged to stay indoors.
4:01 pm
residents injersey have been out assessing the damage — these pictures are from west hill where uprooted trees and branches are blocking the roads. people there have told the bbc there are still very strong winds in the area. let's get more from graham satchell. storm ciaran hit the channel islands with a bang, thunder and lightning and massive hailstones. the power of the storm, remarkable. winds reached more than 100 miles an hour, ripping roofs from buildings. this terrifying moment was caught on a baby monitor. the woman grabs her baby and makes her escape. the emergency services injersey said they responded to hundreds of calls overnight. they worked through horrendous conditions to clear roads and rescue people. there's been a lot of structural damage, a lot of roofs and chimneys down, trees down, obviously, a lot of roads are blocked, there is a lot of debris on the roads.
4:02 pm
at first light, people ventured out to assess the damage. there are trees down all over the island. some buildings have been almost completely destroyed. the power of the wind has blown walls down. that was my car, evie's car, big, big tree. in some places, it is a scene of utter devastation. charlie's car was parked here and it's moved over there. with the extensive damage to buildings and properties, more than a0 islanders have been evacuated to local hotels. terry and angela had a lucky escape after their chimney came through their roof and fell on them in bed. i thought it was a lot of lightning, then the next thing, everything came down on top of me. so, i suppose i was lucky because i did manage to pull my legs out. and she wasjelly, that's what my wife was like. i was shaking.
4:03 pm
jersey is still being battered. all flights and ferries have been cancelled, schools are closed. not since the great storm of 1987 have the channel islands seen something as bad as this. graham satchell, bbc news. we can speak now to alex burkill —— who's a meteorologist. where have we seen the most effects where have we seen the most effects from storm ciaran? the where have we seen the most effects from storm ciaran? , ., , from storm ciaran? the strongest winds in the _ from storm ciaran? the strongest winds in the uk _ from storm ciaran? the strongest winds in the uk have _ from storm ciaran? the strongest winds in the uk have been - from storm ciaran? the strongest winds in the uk have been across| winds in the uk have been across parts of cornwall and parts of kent, thatis parts of cornwall and parts of kent, that is where we had gusts of close to 80 miles an hour. we had large waves coinciding with that so all along the south particularly south—eastern parts have seen significant impact, damage and disruption. significant impact, damage and disru tion. significant impact, damage and disruption-_ disruption. there were weather warnin . s disruption. there were weather warnings in _ disruption. there were weather warnings in place _ disruption. there were weather warnings in place ahead - disruption. there were weather warnings in place ahead of- disruption. there were weather warnings in place ahead of last| warnings in place ahead of last night when the storm was approaching. what is the advice now

but the blustery winds still could cause problems. there may be some further power outages if there is more damage due to the unsettled weather. unfortunately, it is not going to turn much more settled as we go through the weekend. yes, for many, friday will be quieter. there will still be showers around but it will still be showers around but it will be drier and less windy for the majority. however in saturday, another spell of wet and windy weather that will push its way up from the south—west. that system that brings that unsettled weather is not going to be as intense as today. is not going to be as intense as toda . ., ., is not going to be as intense as toda . ., ,, i. is not going to be as intense as toda . . ~' ,, , is not going to be as intense as toda. ., , . life to blatche park to join life to blatche park tojoin rishi sunak. life to blatche park to 'oin rishi sunak. ~ , ., , , sunak. while this was the beginning ofthe sunak. while this was the beginning of the conversation, _ sunak. while this was the beginning of the conversation, i _ sunak. while this was the beginning of the conversation, i believe - sunak. while this was the beginning of the conversation, i believe the i of the conversation, i believe the achievements of this summit will tip the balance in favour of humanity.
4:07 pm
because they show that we have both the political will and the capability to control this technology and secure its benefits for the long—term. we have achieved this in four specific ways. until this in four specific ways. until this week, the world did not even have a shared understanding of the risks so our first step was to have open and inclusive conversation to seek that shared understanding. we analysed the latest available evidence on everything from social harms like buyers and misinformation to the risk of misuse, through to the extreme risks of even losing control of ai the extreme risks of even losing control of a! completely. yesterday, we agreed and published the first ever international statement about the nature of all of those risks. it was signed by every single nation represented at the summit, covering all continents across the globe, and including the united states and china. some said we should not even invited china. 0thers
4:08 pm
china. some said we should not even invited china. others said we could never get an agreement with them. both were wrong. a serious strategy for al both were wrong. a serious strategy for a! safety has to begin with engaging all the world's leading ai powers. and all of them have signed the bletchley park. second, we must ensure that our shared understanding keeps pace with the rapid deployment and develop and of ai. that is why last week i proposed a truly expert global panel to publish a state of ai global panel to publish a state of a! science report. today at the summit, the whole international community has agreed. this idea is inspired by the way the intergovernmental panel on climate change was set up to reach international science consensus. with the support of the un secretary—general, every country has committed to nominate experts. i am delighted to announce that prizewinner and godfather of ai delighted to announce that prizewinner and godfather of a! has agreed to chair the production of the inaugural report. third, until
4:09 pm
now the only people testing the safety of new a! models have been the very companies developing it. that must change. so, building on the here shimmer process and the google partnership on al, like—minded governments have today reached a landmark agreement. we will work together on testing the safety of new a! models before they are released. this partnership is based around a series of principles which are set out the responsibilities we share and it is made possible by the decision i have taken, along with vice president kamala harris for the partitioned american governments to establish world leading ai american governments to establish world leading a! safety institutes with the public sector capability to test the most advanced frontier models. in that spirit, i very much welcome the agreement of the companies here today to deepen the access that the uk has their models. drawing on the expertise of some of the most respected and knowledgeable
4:10 pm
ai experts in the world, our safety institute will work to build our evaluations process in time to assess the next generation of models before they are deployed next year. finally, fulfilling the vision we have set to keep ai finally, fulfilling the vision we have set to keep a! safe is not the work of any single summit. the uk is proud to have brought the world together and hosted the first summit but it requires an ongoing international process to stay ahead of the curve on the science and to see through all the collaboration of that we have begun today. so we have agreed that bletchley park should be the first of a series of international safety summits with both korea and france agreeing to host further summits next year. the late stephen hawking once said a! is slightly to be the best or worst thing to happen to humanity. if we can sustain the collaboration that we have fostered over these last two days, i profoundly believe that we can make it the best because safely
4:11 pm
harnessing this technology could eclipse anything we have ever known and if in time history proves that today we began to seize that price, then we will have written a new chapter, worthy of its place in the story of bletchley park and more importantly, bequeathed an extraordinary legacy of hope and opportunity for our children and generations to come. thank you. we will take some questions from the media. can you tell me, use a that you deep into the _ can you tell me, use a that you deep into the access you will get from testing _ into the access you will get from testing and safety, can you give us an example — testing and safety, can you give us an example of how you will get better— an example of how you will get better or — an example of how you will get better or deeper access to some of these _ better or deeper access to some of these models to reassure people that they will_ these models to reassure people that they will be safer following these

4:13 pm
and evaluation. i think the critical thing that we have agreed today which is a truly landmark agreement, is that we will be able to do that in advance of these models being released. that is a new step but was necessary. people have called for it and when i was speaking to many of you last week, it was raised then and it may have been raised by you, tom, but i am pleased to say we have delivered on that. in order to make sure people can be made safe, we need to get in there in advance to do the testing and that is what the safety institute will do. we haven't got time to go into all the different things it will do but in the broad sense, ourjob in government is to have the expertise in testing before our citizens are exposed to them to make sure they are safe. we will now be able to do that and we are developing the expertise to do that is a range of different methodologies that are used to deliver that but fundamentally, people should be reassured, not only do we have the tools and capabilities being developed here at a rate faster than
4:14 pm
any other country, we now have the agreement to do the testing before the models are released to the public and that is something i think this summit will look back on and say is a terrific achievement, a landmark achievement. next to the telegraph. t landmark achievement. next to the teleu-rah. .,, ., ., landmark achievement. next to the teleu-rah. ., ., ., ., telegraph. i was going to ask about elon musk as _ telegraph. i was going to ask about elon musk as well. _ telegraph. i was going to ask about elon musk as well. first _ telegraph. i was going to ask about elon musk as well. first of - telegraph. i was going to ask about elon musk as well. first of all, - elon musk as well. first of all, what _ elon musk as well. first of all, what are — elon musk as well. first of all, what are you planning to raise with him tonight? is your chat not being live streamed because you are concerned about what he might say? elon concerned about what he might say? eton musk— concerned about what he might say? elon musk is someone who has, for a long time, spoken about al. he is an investor, an entrepreneur and has developed a! companies and is one of the leading actors in al. it is important that he was engaged in the summit and i am delighted that he was attending and participating yesterday and it was a decade ago that he first started talking about some of the risks that al could pose
4:15 pm
and the importance of governance and others doing what was necessary to mitigate against those. rather than focus on anyone personality, i think the achievement of this summit, and i the achievement of this summit, and i pay the achievement of this summit, and i pay tribute to michelle for her work over the last few months to bring this together, for us to have assembled over 100 of the leading ai nations, leading companies developing the technology, and then experts from industry, academia and civil society together in one place for the first time to have this conversation, i think that is truly an extra ordinary achievement. it has not happened before anywhere. that is the uk demonstrating global leadership to make it happen. it is not about any one person but a collection that we have brought together and as you can see, in my remarks, not only has it been a good and thoughtful conversation, it has led to some very concrete outcomes that will ensure that we all can
4:16 pm
enjoy the benefits of ai, which are extraordinary in how it is going to change our lives in health care and education, the economy, but do so in a way that is safe. this summit on the outcomes from it will ensure that that is the direction we are now on and that is because of the leadership that the uk has shown and played in that has been recognised by everyone who was at this summit. you can see the success in the fact that notjust south korea but france are now hosting the next two summits so i think we should take that as another mark of success for us, that others are one do the same thing and continue this conversation. next, we go to the bbc. continue this conversation. next, we go to the bbc-— go to the bbc. your focus on the summit here _ go to the bbc. your focus on the summit here has _ go to the bbc. your focus on the summit here has been _ go to the bbc. your focus on the summit here has been on - go to the bbc. your focus on the summit here has been on safety| summit here has been on safety issues _ summit here has been on safety issues relating to ai but do leaders need _ issues relating to ai but do leaders need to— issues relating to ai but do leaders need to he — issues relating to ai but do leaders need to be more candid about the consequences of ai revolution in

4:18 pm
think about much more like that, like a co—pilot to someone doing theirjob. that is how i think about it. technology also is has the potential to change the liver market and patterns of employment. it is hard to predict how that will evolve but we do know that al is already responsible for 50,000 jobs across the uk. we should be proud that we are a leading ai the uk. we should be proud that we are a leading a! nation. we have world leading research on talent here, companies developing technology that is all ready creating jobs in our country. as it pertains to the future, i am of the view that technology like a! which enhances productivity, overtime is beneficial for an economy, it makes things cheaper and makes the economy more productive but that does mean jobs can change. an mit study showed recently something existed % of the jobs did not exist a0 or 50 years before, to give you a sense of the change, so myjob is to make sure that we have a world—class education
4:19 pm
system. that is my answer in a nutshell, that is why i don't want people to worry because we are building a world—class education system, notjust in our schools where standards are going up, not just on the reforms for 16 to 18—year—olds that i announced recently with more malls and english on the broader curriculum and higher quality technical education brought together, but with lifelong learning, the ability to train and retrain backed by government support at any stage of your life. that is what a world—class education system looks like and that is because i'm delivering bad that i am confident that we will reap the benefits of ai economically and people will always be able to have the opportunities are to flourish because we will be supporting them to give them the skills they need. i know it is an anxiety people have but they should be reassured because we are developing the education and system we need to ensure everyone can flourish over the years and decades to come. next, itv.—

4:21 pm
institute is so important. with the technology developing the way it is, are the people developing it a consolation prize by what it can do, it is important that that regulation is empirically based, based on scientific evidence and that is why we need to do the work first. so that the safety institute needs to do the evaluations and the research on the testing so we understand what we are dealing with before we can then spell out the formal regulation thatis then spell out the formal regulation that is required. i am highly confident that we have got the agreement that we need from the leading frontier ai companies, all of him are represented at the summit, to get the access we need to do the testing that is required and we will be able to work in partnership with other a! safety institutes. the vice president was here talking about this yesterday, as was the us commerce secretary. it is a welcome development that countries like the us are also developing a safety institute and they have been clear that they want to work closely with us and that is
4:22 pm
what we wanted to achieve at the summit. notjust about us doing this, one of our objectives was for other countries to invest in safety research and to approach it in a clapboard of way or other is institute around the world are working together to share research, analysis and information. that way we will build up a much better picture of exactly what we need to manage and so far we have the corporation but we need. of course everyone would acknowledge that ultimately binding requirements were likely to be necessary but it is important we do those in the right way and that needs to be based on empirical evidence that we will get from our testing in the first place. next, channel a. the professor is very keen that the onus _ the professor is very keen that the onus is _ the professor is very keen that the onus is on — the professor is very keen that the onus is on companies to prove that there _ onus is on companies to prove that there at _ onus is on companies to prove that there ai applications are safe. do

4:24 pm
but i thing they would also agree that governments do have to play that governments do have to play that role and indeed they have all signed up to a set of declarations which accepts that, that they should be external validation testing, monitoring of the models during training before deployment and afterwards. that is the agreement we have reached today which is why do so important but i don't think we can outsource thatjob. fundamentally, governments or a network of governments working collaboratively do need to provide their citizens with the independent assurance that the models are safe, but also fundamentally, it is only governments that contest for national—security risks. ultimately thatis national—security risks. ultimately that is the responsibility and knowledge of a sovereign government and with the involvement our intelligence agencies, as they have been with all our ai intelligence agencies, as they have been with all our a! work thus far, thatis been with all our a! work thus far, that is thejob been with all our a! work thus far, that is the job of government. no one else can do that. that is why we have taken a leading stance in developing the capability through the ai developing the capability through the a! safety institute and i am excited that that offer will be made
4:25 pm
available to the world. again, that is british leadership, those are our values and that is how we do things. not only will we provide the research and evaluation and we have been very clear that we will share that work collaboratively with other governments around the world because we view this as a shared challenge. ai does not respect borders and we will only solve the problem if we work together and we hope our institute can be a leading part of how we do it and we hope, already we are hearing from other countries how appreciative of that offer they are and they are all keen to partner with us in the coming months. next, could i go to the eye.— could i go to the eye. thank you, prime minister. _ could i go to the eye. thank you, prime minister. you _ could i go to the eye. thank you, prime minister. you told - could i go to the eye. thank you, prime minister. you told us - could i go to the eye. thank you, prime minister. you told us last| prime minister. you told us last week_ prime minister. you told us last week that — prime minister. you told us last week that we should not be losing sleep _ week that we should not be losing sleep over— week that we should not be losing sleep over the existential risk of ai. despite the breakthrough of the summit, _ ai. despite the breakthrough of the summit, what we haven't agreed is international regular tree framework for the _ international regular tree framework for the control of ai. when we should — for the control of ai. when we should start losing sleep if that is

4:27 pm
power to those like nuclear war or pandemics. 0thers disagree. people in industry don't think that is possible and won't happen. my view is that even if there is a small possibility that that happens, the right and responsible thing for governments to do is to act and that is exactly what we have done. not only have we acted, we have led that conversation so that we can reassure people who are at home but we are taking the steps necessary to mitigate against that risk. however remote or in the future it is, and i want to do that and this is why we should focus properly as well, i want to do that so we can then spend our time and energy focusing on all the incredible things that al is going to do for us and is already doing for us. as i said, revolution ink health care, drug discovery, diagnosis and an education, we announced an initiative this week to provide thousands of teachers with access to ai provide thousands of teachers with access to a! a lesson planning and quizzes which they have been
