7:32 pm
action in 50 years without more than a hundred public sector workers walked out in a dispute over pay. schools closed, health services and transport lacking. the dispute has been complicated by the fact that there's been no functioning government at stormont for two years with the union leaders say workers are used as palms in restoring power shower in northern island. schools closed without the gritting of icy roads finished at midnight. it's been a day of disruption and demonstrations across northern ireland. some people are pointing the finger at politicians. fiur the finger at politicians. our leaders are _ the finger at politicians. oi" leaders are responsible for this. northern ireland is a great country and just abuse it. government need to go back and they need to sort this out.

like thousands of others, breast cancer patient caroline has had medical appointments cancelled due to the strike. just in this weather, it's not great to have to be making extra trips when you don't need to. but having said that, i'm fully in support of nurses going out on strike, because the job they do and they're entitled to equal pay as the rest of the uk. parents of children with special educational needs say strikes hit their families especially hard. they are on strike today, i can't get them out, i can't get them tired out, so likes of bed time will be a lot more difficult for me. probably midday, i will be facing a lot more challenging behaviour. i6 unions came together for today's strike action. the biggest rally was in belfast city centre. those taking part in the mass walk—out say the decision wasn't an easy one, but they believe it was the right one. make no mistake about it, we will win this fight. - we are facing a massive recruitment and retention crisis. nobody wants to be

a teacher any more. there's none of my colleagues want to be on a picket line, but theyjust feel that they have no other option. why should we be being paid any| different a counterpart in england who is doing the same job, looking after the same - patients on a daily basis? ronan is a teacher in lurgan. so, a beginning teacher's wage here in northern ireland is £24,137. now that's before deductions. and my counterparts in education are looking at teachers in england saying, you know, why is a teacher in england worth £5,500 more than me? why is a teacher in scotland worth approximately £8,500 more than me? we feel very undervalued. we feel very sad and we feel neglected. greg has been driving a school bus for 15 years. at times at night i'm wondering, can i afford to put heating on? and that's the position i am in. i've actually had to take a second
7:35 pm
job as welljust to make ends meet. what sort of difference would a pay raise make to your life? it would be immeasurable so it would. we're not looking a fortune of money, so we are but, you know, £1 an hour or £1.50 an hour would be huge. and it would keep me in the job i love. kerry has been nursing for a decade. please, support the nurses. we're here striking for our patients and people might think that we're i making the patients suffer- on a strike day, but there's 364 other days in the year- where we're short staffed. it's the government who need to sort things out and not the nurses. - today saw the biggest strike northern ireland has seen in a generation and it also brought a warning from unions — if issues around public sector pay are not sorted out soon, there will be more to come. sara garvin, bbc news. the princess of wales is said to be doing well after her successful abdominal surgery. doing well after her successful abdominalsurgery. prince doing well after her successful abdominal surgery. prince william visited his wife on thursday. the princess was admitted on tuesday, she is expected to remain in

7:37 pm
misunderstanding to put artificial intelligence is and what it can do. this is not a tool that replaces humans, this is a tool that humans use. i think probably the first painter to not use their finger or to use a paint brush was probably accused of cheating by their fellow artists in the cave. of course the paintbrush just unleashes that humans creativity much the same with this new generation of generated artificial intelligence. it's highly two helping artists express himself in helping them to do it quickly for that it's certainly not replacing and can't do it on its own. surely ai has and can't do it on its own. surely m has to — and can't do it on its own. surely ai has to learn _ and can't do it on its own. surely ai has to learn from _ and can't do it on its own. surely ai has to learn from something. | ai has to learn from something. previously authored books and novels, stories, it's got to learn its craft somewhere. this is plagiarism in a form, isn't it? it plagiarism in a form, isn't it? if we look at the models my company uses its basically about everything that old adage if you use once or is
7:38 pm
plagiarism in a form, isn't it? if we look at the models my company uses its basically about everything that old adage if you use one source it's stealing but five is research. if you use hundreds of millions and indeed everything that's written you're not taking from one area you're not taking from one area you're taking from the collective of humanity over all of the centuries. i think of this is a cultural technology like if you read every book of the library and are using that source material you not stealing from a book or author you will use do you not using collective. i5 will use do you not using collective.— will use do you not using collective. , ., ., will use do you not using collective. , . . . collective. is there a danger that if we allow _ collective. is there a danger that if we allow this _ collective. is there a danger that if we allow this to _ collective. is there a danger that if we allow this to go _ collective. is there a danger that if we allow this to go unchecked | collective. is there a danger that i if we allow this to go unchecked all future creations will be created by ar, we lose that human involvement? this is what the row in the us and the actors union was all about, about being replaced by ai the actors union was all about, about being replaced by aland the actors union was all about, about being replaced by ai and the power that al has to change our industry. people say embrace new technology but don't change it to the extent there is no human involvement. i the extent there is no human involvement.— the extent there is no human involvement. .., , , ., involvement. i completely agree with that. m involvement. i completely agree with that- my company — involvement. i completely agree with that. my company always _ involvement. i completely agree with that. my company always talks - involvement. i completely agree with that. my company always talks about| that. my company always talks about augmented intelligence, keeping the

human. we don't want to replace humans, our it artificial intelligence isn't that that what it can do is speed humans out, help unleash creativity but we need human judgment, imagination to use these tools better. that's been the case for all to use throughout humanity. we talked about films and actors. the nominations have been announced for this year's bafta film awards. christopher nolan's 0ppenheimer leads the way with 13 nominations, including for best film and best director. its big summer box office rival barbie received five, and missed out on a nod for best film. our culture editor katie razzall has been casting her eyes over the nominees. detonator�*s charged! discharged and preparing for glory. is this the year director christopher nolan wins his first—ever bafta? we're in a race against the nazis. 0ppenheimer has 13 nominations, including best actorfor
7:40 pm
cillian murphy as the theoretical physicist behind the atomic bomb. this is the best day ever. it is the best day ever! maybe not the best day for barbie, with just five chances of a bafta win next month — the most popular movie across the world last year but not in the running for best film, though its producer, margot robbie, is up for best actress. does pregnant barbie — emerald fennell — see it as a snub? ijust think barbie speaks for itself. it's a complete and utter masterpiece. why don't you come home with me? come to saltburn. fennell wrote and directed the gothic romance and social media sensation saltburn, which also has five nominations, including 0utstanding british film. beautiful eyes. there are three acting nods for rosamund pike, jacob elordi and lead barry keoghan. saltburn is an entirely british crew. we were over 50% women on our cast and crew as well, which meant a great deal to us, and so, you know, something like a bafta means the world to us. this is bella.
7:41 pm
the fantastical coming—of—age comedy poor things is also riding high with 11 nominations. and the heart—warming 1970s drama the holdovers is up for seven awards... i heard you got stuck with baby—sitting duty this year. how did you manage it? ..including for paul giamatti as a curmudgeonly teacher and da'vinejoy randolph as a grieving mother. it really means a lot. i used to always call it when i was younger "the british 0scars". so, to me, it feels like ijust got nominated for an oscar today. but among bafta's omissions, martin scorsese isn't on the best directing list for killers of the flower moon. his true crime story about the murders of native americans is up for best film, but neither leonardo dicaprio nor costar lily gladstone are nominated, though oscar winner robert de niro is. it would be his first—ever bafta win. katie razzall, bbc news. let's speak to film critic, siobhan synnot? ?on these
7:42 pm
bafta nominations. good to have you with us. talk us through this long list. what are we think here, any big surprises? 30 for 0ppenheim or, one would assume that barbie got more than five. yeah. it was supposed to be the double act seen this box office this year. people went to see the two films back—to—back yet it's 0ppenheimer, about the life of the man who invented the nuclear bomb. i don't think it's a case of people pulling out for the update love barbie just not enough to nudge it into the last five for best film. it's a tough category. there's only five places. they had barbie qualified its shot in the uk but if
7:43 pm
barbie qualified in the voters minds perhaps it would've been seen there. it's quite a while since the pastors were brought forward before the oscars. but what does this tell us 0scars. but what does this tell us about 0scar nominations and is there any differentjust for you to repeat themselves? any different 'ust for you to repeat themselves?— themselves? there's a difference. 7500 voters _ themselves? there's a difference. 7500 voters for _ themselves? there's a difference. 7500 voters for substantially - themselves? there's a difference. | 7500 voters for substantially more for the oscars was that there is a crossover not for being confirmed for the pastors in the academy awards. i think he would see some similarities. —— bafta's. for example last year bafta voters fell in love with all quiet on the western front for that where is the academy awards were all over everything, everywhere, all at once. they do have different mindsets. i think that's to the good. the
7:44 pm
bafta”s should be distinctive. as the votes for people within the industries with excellent set mind but when we're looking at the 350 movies over christmas, our sole criteria should be excellence in performance. 0r production or costume. so our conclusions are rightly different than the american academy. rightly different than the american academ . ~ . v rightly different than the american academ .~ ._ rightly different than the american academ. , academy. what's really refreshing about these _ academy. what's really refreshing about these nominations - academy. what's really refreshing about these nominations this - academy. what's really refreshing about these nominations this yearj academy. what's really refreshing l about these nominations this year is that it's not all about sequels or marble films or follow—ups or franchises. these are unique films that have stood up to scrutiny on their own. they are original ideas, aren't they?— their own. they are original ideas, aren't the ? ., ., , aren't they? one of the great things about the bafta _ aren't they? one of the great things about the bafta awards _ aren't they? one of the great things about the bafta awards his - about the bafta awards his conversations notjust about conversations not just about 0ppenheimer and conversations notjust about 0ppenheimer and barbie but also shines light on other films that maybe you haven't had time to catch.
7:45 pm
for example, the anatomy of a fall is a great movie. you might notice further down in categories not only the nominations for best actress but she also appears in best supporting categories for another film. 0n film thatis categories for another film. 0n film that is also directed byjonathan glazer. two bites at one cherry, not bad. people may find out more about her. 3 bad. people may find out more about her. �* ., ., ., ., her. a word on the new host of a new venue this year- _ her. a word on the new host of a new venue this year. what _ her. a word on the new host of a new venue this year. what does _ venue this year. what does that change, if anything? i venue this year. what does that change, if anything?— venue this year. what does that change, if anything? i think david tennant is smart _ change, if anything? i think david tennant is smart casting - change, if anything? i think david tennant is smart casting as - change, if anything? i think david tennant is smart casting as the l tennant is smart casting as the master of ceremonies. last year richie grant, richard e grant did a greatjob. the think you need

cats and kittens that have been abandoned, abused or rescued and the site always runs at capacity, something the royal society for the prevention of cruelty to animals is celebrating for its bicentenary. it all started here on st martin's lane in 182a when over coffee, anti—slavery campaigners william wilberforce, richard humanity, dick martin and a physiologist arthur broome got together at the old slaughters coffee house that used to stand here and founded the spca. it was queen victoria who later made it royal. this new society soon had impact clock fighting, bull baiting and dogfighting all banned. you're live with bbc news
7:48 pm
now to shetland where we can speak to ecologist and film maker the creature is an arctic cetacean, perfectly adapted to polar waters with its white colouring and the absence of a dorsal fin, which allows it to swim under the ice. it's not yet clear if the heavy snow in the islands this week played any part in helping the whale feel at home, in waters off hillswick. with shetland's shivering and freezing conditions, perhaps it was no surprise that a visitor well used to arctic temperatures would choose to venture into nearby waters. this lone beluga whale was spotted off the coast of hillswick, to the delight of seasoned local whale watchers. we arrived to a beautiful big bay, but in absolutely freezing, arctic conditions, and we were there for maybe five minutes, looking out on what was really dark water, and suddenly this incredible ivory—coloured whale surfaced in front of us. it was just the most magical moment.

fine. yeah. now. _ headlines up for you shortly first let's get the weather. hello there. good evening. staying very cold again today across the uk, but things are about to change weather—wise into the weekend. now, england, wales and northern ireland woke up to the coldest morning so far this winter. lots of weak, wintry sunshine around for most, but blizzard—like conditions across northern scotland, with brisk northerly to north—westerly winds and heavy snow showers. the focus for those snow showers tomorrow will change slightly, more towards the west with more of a westerly wind, staying cold and then turning milder, wetter and very windy as we head through the weekend and the start of next week. now, overnight tonight, there'll still be some snow showers across these western hills in particular, perhaps driving further eastwards. icy stretches, brisk westerly winds blowing. a few wintry showers for northern areas of northern ireland,
7:57 pm
icy stretches certainly here. and there'll be some freezing fog patches forming, most likely, i think, across the east midlands, perhaps into eastern areas of wales. a sharp widespread frost yet again, but not quite as cold for most as it was last night. and then tomorrow, we start to draw in more of a south—westerly wind. it'll start to feel a little less cold through the day. still plenty of snow showers through the morning across these north—western hills of scotland, but turning increasingly back to rain and sleet to lower levels. still some hill snow, though, as we go through the afternoon. a few wintry showers maybe for northern ireland, but for most, it will stay dry and temperatures more widely will rise to between 4 and 6 degrees celsius, turning windier towards those western coasts later on through the day. and then as we head through friday night, our high pressure starts to spill away towards the east, allowing for these weather fronts to approach from the atlantic. they're going to drive their way eastwards, bringing strong winds — look at the squeeze in the isobars — and some heavy downpours of rain
7:58 pm
as we head through the weekend, but also some much milder air. so, in a little more detail, i think many of us will wake up to temperatures just slightly above freezing as we head through the day on saturday, perhaps a little bit below towards the south—east of england. there'll be some heavy rain, particularly out towards western coasts, and some strong, gusty winds at times, too, but temperatures starting to rise. we could even see double figures for western areas as we head through the afternoon on saturday potentially. here's the outlook for our capital cities. already, met office weather warnings in force for heavy rain, for strong, gusty winds through the day on sunday as another front pushes its way eastwards. but much milder conditions, 12 or 13 degrees celsius, later in the weekend.
