8:30 pm
there is also some good news from the world of ai. we will explain that for you a little later, but before that, let's checking on the sport at the bbc sport centre. here is sarah. thanks, ben. let's start at the australian open, where defending champion aryna sabalenka will face china'thung chin—wen in the final, after they both came through their semi—finals in straight sets. sabalenka saw off coco gauff, taking the first set on a tie break and then the second set 6—4 to gain revenge over the american who beat her in the final of the us open last year. sabalenka has yet to drop a set as she looks to win back—to—back titles. the key was i was able to stay focused no matter what, no matter what the score was, i just kept trying my best, kept fighting for
8:31 pm
it, and of course i am super happy to be in anotherfinal of it, and of course i am super happy to be in another final of the grand slam, and hopefully i can do in the bit better than the last time. —— a little bit better. jhung, on the other hand, is through to her first grand slam final, ending ukrainian qualifier dayana yastremska's incredible run with a 6—4, 6—4 win. jhung is aiming to become the second chinese woman to win the australian open singles title, 10 years after li na's famous victory. cricket now, and india trail england by 127 after day one of the first test in hyderabad, after a brilliant unbeaten innings from yashasvi jaiswal. the tourists won the toss and elected to bat and once again were indebted to ben stokes. the captain came in with england in trouble at 121—4. from there, he struck 70 off 88 balls to help england to 246 all out — eight of the wickets falling to spin. in reply, jaiswal finished the day 76 not out at more than a run a ball, as india
8:32 pm
reached stumps 119—1. captain rohit sharma the only wicket to fall, dismissed by jack leach for 24. in england, the fourth round of the fa cup is under way, with premier league side bournemouth taking on second tier team swansea of the championship. swansea have lost their last six fa cup ties against premier league sides. and doesn't it look like that number will move to seven? bournemouth in total control, they are 5—0 up. plethora of goal scorers. approaching half—time. you can follow that on the bbc sport website. a spanishjudge has proposed that formerfootball federation president luis rubiales should stand trial over the women's world cup kiss involving captain jenni hermoso. mr rubiales grabbed ms hermoso�*s head and kissed her during the presentation after spain's victory in australia. she said the kiss was
8:33 pm
"not consensual", a statement denied by mr rubiales. ajudge has found there is enough evidence for the matter to proceed to trial. at the asian cup, south korea drew 3—3 with malaysia to set up a last—i6 clash with saudi arabia. son heung—min's 9ath—minute penalty looked to have won the match forjurgen klinsmann's side. this made it 3—0 to south korea. —— 3-2. but there was one last twist to come. in the 15th minute of stoppage time, romel morales grabbed a dramatic equaliser to earn malaysia's first asian cup point in 44 years. the result means south korea finish second in group e and will avoid a clash with four—time winners japan in the knockout stages. instead, it's bahrain who will face the japanese. they top the group after beating jordan i—o — abdulla yusuf helal with the goal.
8:34 pm
saudi arabia — who had already guaranteed a last—i6 spot — top group f. they were held to a goalless draw against thailand, who finish second in the group. oman missed the chance to join them in the knockout stages after being held to a 1—1 draw with kyrgyzstan. after taking an early lead, their hopes evaporated when kyrgyz forward joel kojo capitalised on some miscommunication between the keeper and the defence. and that, then, is all your sport from me at the moment. sarah, thank you. i want to take you to the united states. the supreme court there has refused to stop the execution of death row prisoner kenneth smith in the state of alabama, meaning he is expected to be executed in the coming hours. the 58—year—old will become the first person in the us to be executed using nitrogen gas, a method which the united nations has called "cruel and inhumane". it will be the state's second attempt to execute smith, who was convicted in 1989
8:35 pm
of murdering a preacher�*s wife in a hired killing. tom bateman reports from southern alabama. a journey to the alabama jail where the first ever execution by nitrogen gas is due to happen. kenneth eugene smith has spent three decades on death row. he's already dodged death once — his executioners botched an attempt to kill him by lethal injection. and now he faces suffocation by the state. opponents see this as a crucial test case and are urging alabama's governor to stop it — here led by smith's spiritual adviser, who will be in the execution chamber with him. so, i need some assurance that this is safe. so this right here is an invitation to governor ivey to accompany me into the execution chamber. it was two weeks ago today, 45—year—old... smith was convicted in 1989 for his part in the murder of elizabeth sennett,
8:36 pm
the wife of a preacher who paid smith $1,000. the jury said he should get life injail, but thejudge sentenced him to death. one medical expert against capital punishment explains that inhaling pure nitrogen will starve the body of oxygen, but could cause catastrophic mishaps. it's very likely, if he doesn't die, he could be significantly injured by this experience — and, for that matter, so could other people in the proximity of kenneth smith, because the nitrogen gas, some of it will be exhaled, along with carbon dioxide, some of it may leak out of the mask. the victim's family backs the death penalty. alabama's governor's office claims the method has been thoroughly vetted, saying it is ready to move forward, although the authorities haven't presented any plausible evidence of its safety. so far, urgent calls for a stay of execution, including from the un, have not been heeded.
8:37 pm
and smith, pictured on the left with his spiritual adviser this week, awaits death for a second time. many us states have been moving away from carrying out executions. alabama remains an outlier, and today's case is supercharging america's debate over state—sanctioned death. tom bateman, bbc news, atmore, alabama. i'm joined now by ivana hrynkiw. she's an investigative reporter at alabama media group. thank you for being with us. we heard in that report there, this method has never been attempted in the united states, the un likens this form of execution to a form of torture. alabama isjust one this form of execution to a form of torture. alabama is just one of three streets, isn't it, that have approved this method? why is the state pushing ahead with this execution?— state pushing ahead with this execution? , ., ., . ., execution? this method of execution was actually — execution? this method of execution was actually approved _ execution? this method of execution was actually approved in _ execution? this method of execution was actually approved in 2018 - execution? this method of execution was actually approved in 2018 in - was actually approved in 2018 in alabama. this isjust the
8:38 pm
was actually approved in 2018 in alabama. this is just the first time it has been actually done here for so we just learned last year, late last year, a plan by the a la pena department of corrections to carry out such an execution. so while there are three states that have this approved method, we are are the only state who is has attempted yet. what has been the public response to this? given we are now very close to when that execution is due to take place, what are people there making of what is going on?— of what is going on? there were several protesters _ of what is going on? there were several protesters outside - of what is going on? there were several protesters outside of. of what is going on? there were . several protesters outside of prison here a few hours ago. it has been very bad weather here, keeping some away here, but there was a small handful of protesters they are, and throughout the week there been protesters and church leaders and other activists that have been delivering petitions to the city of montgomery, which is the capital of avenue alabama here, urging governor k iv do call of the education. we are at the point where the governor could call the execution or the us
8:39 pm
supreme court could reply, the appeals, but those are the avenues. and talk me through the potential timeframe. if there is a possibility this may not go ahead, when does that have to happen? when does that message have to get to where you are in the prison? the message have to get to where you are in the prison?— in the prison? the execution is scheduled _ in the prison? the execution is scheduled for _ in the prison? the execution is scheduled for 6pm, _ in the prison? the execution is scheduled for 6pm, alabama l in the prison? the execution is - scheduled for 6pm, alabama time, here tonight, so it is about 2:40pm right now, sojust here tonight, so it is about 2:40pm right now, so just a few hours from now, but again we are waiting on the us supreme court. the court hasn't a 6am tomorrow alabama time, so they have quite a few hours —— has entail. we could be here for a long night waiting on this.— night waiting on this. yeah, and --eole night waiting on this. yeah, and peeple will— night waiting on this. yeah, and people will find _ night waiting on this. yeah, and people will find grim _ night waiting on this. yeah, and people will find grim fascination night waiting on this. yeah, and i people will find grim fascination in the fact that this is a first of this method. nitrogen gas, never been used to execute humid in the
8:40 pm
united states, sometimes use to kill animals, and it is committed by vets, that large animals have a sedative would be euthanized in this manner. —— recommended. and i'm looking at some of the comments from mist or smith himself, that he is absolutely terrified at his upcoming execution, still suffering from from the previous failed bit. we heard in this report, they tried to do this once already. the this report, they tried to do this once already-— this report, they tried to do this once already. the state did try to execute him _ once already. the state did try to execute him back— once already. the state did try to execute him back in _ once already. the state did try to execute him back in 2022, - once already. the state did try to execute him back in 2022, in - execute him back in 2022, in november of 2022, via lethal injection. they did not have time to set up the iv lines for the lethal injection drugs that night, and under previous rule in alabama, it expired at midnight. they cold off the execution just a few minutes before midnight in november of 2022, so after that there was a fluor of lawsuits and was agreed upon that smith's method of execution would be changed or nitrogen gas, so from there, that is what leads us here
8:41 pm

8:42 pm
it helps us with forecasting, with modelling and with water resources. the weather station he uses was built by his grandfather at the end of the 19th century. tom took over the responsibility of measuring the rainfall in 19118. how long do you think you'll keep going? well, as long as i can. as long as i can walk, hopefully! for more stories from across the uk, head to the bbc news website. - you're live with bbc news. you are watching the context. it is time for our new weekly segment, ai decoded. welcome to ai decoded, that time of the week when we look in depth at some of the most eye—catching stories in the world of artificial intellligence. here is what's up for you this week. we begin with the mirror and pop megastar taylor swift, who has become the latest victim of ai misuse after extremely graphic
8:43 pm
and suggestive images, created by ai, circulated on social media. meanwhile, the us president also fell foul of ai fakery after people received pre—recorded phone calls using artificial intelligence to mimicjoe biden's voice. according to the guardian, the message urged new hampshire residents not to vote in last tuesday's primary. the telegraph carries a warning from uk spy chiefs that artificial intelligence tools are making email scams more convincing than ever. new delhi television online has this remarkable story about how police turned to artificial intelligence to unravel a delhi murder mystery. they used ai not only to identify the victim, but it helped lead to the arrest of people accused of the murder. and finally, pc gamer reports on comments made by bill gates earlier this week. when pressed on the threats of artificial intelligence, the microsoft co—founder said, "the key thing is that the good guys "have better ai than the bad guys."
8:44 pm
with me is our weekly ai guru, priya lakhani, who's ceo of century tech, an artificial intelligence education technology company that develops ai—powered learning tools. nice to see you. there is a bit of a theme, isn't there? there's not much good news in the pile of stories today. good news in the pile of stories toda . ., , _, , today. know, but it covers the full spectrum. — today. know, but it covers the full spectrum, which _ today. know, but it covers the full spectrum, which is _ today. know, but it covers the full spectrum, which is why _ today. know, but it covers the full spectrum, which is why i - today. know, but it covers the full spectrum, which is why i think - today. know, but it covers the full spectrum, which is why i think is l today. know, but it covers the full. spectrum, which is why i think is so interesting. today i think we are going to see a little of the good but a lot of the bad and the ugly. it might deceived that conversation about much don't ask matriculation but how authority is my tryon clamp down on the darker side —— it might not be... down on the darker side -- it might not be... ., , down on the darker side -- it might notbe... ~ , not be... there was the ai safety, lester and — not be... there was the ai safety, lester and l _ not be... there was the ai safety, lester and i think _ not be... there was the ai safety, lester and i think what _ not be... there was the ai safety, lester and i think what you're - not be... there was the ai safety, i lester and i think what you're going to see from today, and i think this is really important, and people can ask this, is it is a race against the bad actors, right? it is not about sitting there and pontificating, this is about acting, because today we are seeing a

multitude of stories... there is a positive one on forensics, which we will get onto. positive one on forensics, which we will get onto-— positive one on forensics, which we will get onto. good news! laughter let's start will get onto. good news! laughter let's start with _ will get onto. good news! laughter let's start with the _ will get onto. good news! laughter let's start with the mirror. _ will get onto. good news! laughter let's start with the mirror. this - will get onto. good news! laughter let's start with the mirror. this is - let's start with the mirror. this is taylor swift. some pretty distressing, pretty horrible images. they were fake images, deep fake images, created by ai. what they were fake images, deep fake images, created by ai.— they were fake images, deep fake images, created by ai. what one can do with generated _ images, created by ai. what one can do with generated ai, _ images, created by ai. what one can do with generated ai, a _ images, created by ai. what one can do with generated ai, a ike - images, created by ai. what one can do with generated ai, a ike can - do with generated ai, a ike can generate text, video, images, is bad actors can create on a graphic content, this is a really, really horrific story —— pornographic. i woke up to it this morning, lots of people did, where taylor swift is viral on x and someone has created some, i'm not even going to begin to describe them, but some horrendous, horrific images of her related to the person that she is dating at the moment and his football team. they originated today, one was nearly live, for nearly 17 hours. taylor 50
8:46 pm
al was trending with 56,000 posts in the morning. one post gained more than 45 million views before it was eventually removed. 211,003 post, hundreds of thousands of likes and bookmarks. people like and bookmarking... shame on you! the problem is, the problem is when you're thinking about deep fix and poor graphic images of a you're thinking about deep fix and p°°f graphic images of a 96% you're thinking about deep fix and poor graphic images of a 96% of deep are pornographic 90% of the 96% target women the right? and so this is a significant problem. it is another type of technology that creates some of his problems. when these things are on social media and they go viral, people hide behind an amenity. even there when you wanted to talk about regulation, laws... and then you have got to new york and newjersey representatives in
8:47 pm
the us saying they want to reintroduce a bill that they introduced last year and get that past which makes it a federal crime to create a mini plate images of pornographic purposes, you've got the online safety act in the uk, which introduces section 66, it immense sections offences act for this is illegal. you point to all of those things, but when you have not had the perpetrator in your hands, actually, that treats a huge problem, and are those laws potentially... they are not meaningless, because they are deterrence and they work in many, they will work in many cases, but anonymity here for me is a significant issue, because you can hide behind these anonymous handles and then you can hide behind lots of ip addresses and the fbi for example that a been looking into the events for sometime, they struggle find these people. find for sometime, they struggle find these people-— for sometime, they struggle find these --eole. �* ., , these people. and that is the thing. there are two _ these people. and that is the thing. there are two real— these people. and that is the thing. there are two real issues. - these people. and that is the thing. there are two real issues. one - these people. and that is the thing. there are two real issues. one is i there are two real issues. one is who is creating these things and then there's the other about how they are shared. you may close down one twitter account, you might limit
8:48 pm
access to certain websites, but then it pops up somewhere else, and once it pops up somewhere else, and once it is out there it is out there. and it is out there it is out there. and the issue with _ it is out there it is out there. and the issue with even _ it is out there it is out there. fific the issue with even closing on the site. next is in pretty hot water with the european commission. —— x. this is a review of how x dealt with misinformation to the middle east, and the war, right, and they are in hot water over that already, and what people are looking at is when elon musk became ceo they reduce the content moderation team, so how are the content moderation team, so how are that you've been dealing with these issues? and this is the problem. how are you actually were to solve these problems? those issues, and my doctor... she sent me here with swiftie bracelets! laughter solidarity. but people are genuinely horrified. one of the ways is to generally act with your feet. if there is one star person of the year
8:49 pm
that has an enormous following, it is taylor swift. i wouldn't you quality swiftie strike the bacon organised it if they're not happy with the weight which platforms are dealing with this, big tech are dealing with this, big tech are dealing with this, log off for a week, for two weeks. what is the consequences? advertising not be happy. if you want to get any ceo's attention, affect their bottom line, don't wait for regulation, and there's long—term effect. if you switch off or a week, you go somewhere else, don't you? and a decrease that effect. that is just an idea of mine. decrease that effect. that is 'ust an idea of minei an idea of mine. very good at mobilising — an idea of mine. very good at mobilising her _ an idea of mine. very good at mobilising her family. -- - an idea of mine. very good at mobilising her family. -- fan | an idea of mine. very good at - mobilising her family. -- fan base. mobilising herfamily. —— fan base. let's turn to something else that is interesting for sort of in a similar vein, this is presidentjoe biden, and people may have got a phone call thinking it was a pre—recorded message from president biden advising them not to vote. just explain why this was a problem. this is a problem — explain why this was a problem. t�*u 3 is a problem because it is fake, right? it is a robo call, someone
8:50 pm
using ai right? it is a robo call, someone using al to fake his voice, it did affect voters. voters, they actually included the phone number of a candidate in that particular area, so because they included a phone number, she got phone calls from people saying, i am not supposed to vote, i got a call from joe biden, so if people are even thinking that is affecting voters and their actions so the problem with this is when it affects elections, it threatens democracy, that the problem. democracy relates on truth, we want to know what we are seeing, we want to know what we are seeing, we want to know what we are hearing. especially in a year like this. this ear is, especially in a year like this. this year is. exactly. _ especially in a year like this. this year is, exactly, it— especially in a year like this. t�*u 3 year is, exactly, it affects the global population, because of the amount of elections this year, but the problem we all have with this, we have been talking about this for years, and people say, deep fakes are overblown, but actually if you get your act together to do something about this... the fec,
8:51 pm
federal election commission, have been put under massive pressure to actually make a decision about al — and i will tell you i, their authority is limited. what they decide affects political campaigns, and when you have people like ron desantis, he used a deep fake against president trump, former president from, you've actually got a really bad example being set by potentially potential leaders, and then you have the fec being slow, and ball state to make their own rules... by by its very nature it is cross—border. by its very nature it is cross-border.- by its very nature it is cross-border. , ., , ., , cross-border. the first two stories, which are skates _ cross-border. the first two stories, which are skates on. _ cross-border. the first two stories, which are skates on. if _ cross-border. the first two stories, which are skates on. if the - cross-border. the first two stories, which are skates on. if the eu - cross-border. the first two stories, which are skates on. if the eu can i which are skates on. if the eu can create their a! act and pass it in the limited time to actually did, making a amendment for large lenglet models and ai, they can do this. regulators, too slow, all the while the impact is being felt all around the impact is being felt all around the world. scams, another thing we will all feel, scans getting more

8:53 pm
more similar... used to be able to spot a issue a spelling, and they go on in the report to talk about advanced attacks. for example, looking at weaknesses and vulnerabilities in peoples networks and all sorts of areas that will cause mass chaos, there is about 11 trillion reasons for us to work in this area, because by 2025, they expect it will cost $10.6.- this area, because by 2025, they expect it will cost $10.6. there is a reason to — expect it will cost $10.6. there is a reason to act! _ expect it will cost $10.6. there is a reason to act! and _ expect it will cost $10.6. there is a reason to act! and the - expect it will cost $10.6. there is a reason to act! and the fact - expect it will cost $10.6. there is a reason to act! and the fact is, l a reason to act! and the fact is, su -l a reason to act! and the fact is, supply chains. _ a reason to act! and the fact is, supply chains, 45% _ a reason to act! and the fact is, supply chains, 45% of— a reason to act! and the fact is, supply chains, 4596 of global. supply chains, 45% of global organisations, this is for all the ceos listening to this, will be impacted in some way by a supply—chain attack, so if you've not got someone consciously looking at security and actively looking at that, working with some of the best companies, then that is something that should be on your to do list. do it now. speaking of other good uses of ai, this one is fascinating, from an dtv, a man who was murdered
8:54 pm
in delhi, and the police were struggling to identify him, used a! to do it. struggling to identify him, used al to do it. ., struggling to identify him, used ai todoit. ., , . to do it. you reconstruct the face usin: to do it. you reconstruct the face using artificial— to do it. you reconstruct the face using artificial intelligence. - to do it. you reconstruct the face using artificial intelligence. fromj using artificial intelligence. from the image, you can see, on the left—hand side, i think it is on the left—hand side, i think it is on the left—hand side, i think it is on the left—hand side, but obviously if you find in an notified body —— identified body, the eyes are closed, in other cases there could be disfigurement, issues, and so they reconstructed the face, they used a colouration technique to make the lips less blue, they open his eyes, they also enhanced to make the eyes, they also enhanced to make the eyes more lifelike and then they can adapt and put it all over the place, they spread it to all the networks and the brother of the deceased identified the poster as his brother, and then they used surveillance techniques, mobile phone surveillance for example, to figure out cctv and footage of figure out cctv and footage of figure out cctv and footage of figure out exactly what happened and they have made a few arrests, so...
8:55 pm
incredible. reassuring to see a! used for good. not much time. i want to talk about bill gates. this is all about, you cannot stop people from using ai, but the ideas if the good guys are one step ahead of the bad guys, that is not a bad place to be. it bad guys, that is not a bad place to be. , ., , , ., , be. it is not, but with the stories about cybercrime, _ be. it is not, but with the stories about cybercrime, you've - be. it is not, but with the stories about cybercrime, you've got - be. it is not, but with the stories| about cybercrime, you've got this arms race between cybersecurity professionals and cyber criminals, and who is going one step ahead? yes, you have advances in education, in health care, in this story in delhi, this ever evolving landscape of ai and technologies being used to help with arrest and identifying various perpetrators, etc, so there is a lot of good there and we talked about that a lot in previous episodes of this programme, but the point is that bill gates, yes, there is good, yes, there is bad, let there be more good than bad — it is pretty obvious, but there's a lot of work to be done by policymakers. priya, go to have you. priya
8:56 pm
lakhani, thank you. —— good to have you with us. the headlines shortly, but see you for this the same time next week. hello there. today is certainly been a quieter, calmer weather story, but also quite cloudy with it as well. take a look at pateley bridge from earlier on in north yorkshire. misty, murky conditions here, and there has been quite a lot of low grey cloud for many of us. now, we will see a change tomorrow because of this cold front that's moving through overnight tonight. change of wind direction, stronger winds will help break up that cloud. there'll be more in the way of sunshine. but it does mean through the night tonight, there's another spell of rain, some of it heavy for all of us at some point. that will drift its way south and east. clearer skies, a few wintry showers to higher ground behind low single figures in scotland.
8:57 pm
but a mild start in the south—east with that weather front still lingering. that will ease away, and for many of us, dry, settled and sunny. gale force gusts of wind driving in some showers across the far north—west. so after that mild start, actually, temperatures may well fall away across central and southern england. so into the afternoon, we're looking at highs of 8—9 celsius, but there will be some sunshine to help compensate for that. that extends perhaps towards the scottish borders. in northern ireland, showers should be few and far between, but there will continue to be a rash of showers, a wintry flavour, perhaps, to higher ground, but rain at lower levels. now, as we move out of friday, into the start of the weekend, that high pressure is going to continue to dominate for much of england and wales. toppling across the high is always the risk of some weather fronts here. so, here, temperatures will hold up, 7—8 celsius first thing on saturday. but clear skies, touch of light frost first thing in the morning across the south—east. that's where we'll start off with the best of the sunshine into the weekend. once again, there's the risk of further wet and often windy weather at times,
8:58 pm
just brushing northern ireland and the north—west of the great glen. temperatures peaking between 9—10 celsius. that's still pretty good, really, for this time of year. now, as we continue to look further ahead, this area of high pressure will continue to dominate across much of europe, but always the risk of further areas of low pressure trying to topple in. it will take its time in doing so, so we're going to start off the new week with some sunshine coming through. there's a risk of things turning a little more unsettled by the middle of next week.
