1:06 am
north american correspondent. i need you to go, i need you to go. people still in their sports shirts tend to the wounded. a celebration turns to chaos in the streets of kansas city. all of the sudden, people started crushing forward, everybody started running, there was screaming. we didn't know what was happening, but this day and age, when people run, you run. they came to welcome their victors after a win in america's biggest sporting event. now, there's only panic. police say shots were fired close to union station, a major gathering point in the parade. they say multiple people have been struck — their condition remains unclear. at the conclusion of the chiefs rally today, there were shots fired on the west side of union station. immediately, officers responded to the area, took two people into custody and also immediately rendered life—sustaining aid to those victims. one reporter was about to go
1:07 am
live when gunfire was heard... something's going on! ..leading to mass evacuation. it had started with a hero's welcome. for the second year running, the kansas city chiefs took the super bowl, and the winners came home again, with up to a million people packing the streets. police tonight say two armed people have been ta ken into custody. meanwhile, the team's star quarterback says he is praying for kansas city, as america's gun problem now haunts another mass event. the kansas city mayor, quinton lucas had also been at the parade when shots were fired. this is what he said... we had 600 kansas city, missouri police department officers, 250 from outside agencies. we went out today like everyone in kansas city, looking to have a celebration. that celebration was marred by a shooting today. and we recognise that there are some who are injured. we're praying for the
1:08 am
safety of everyone. i've talked to a few different folks so far. one, we have spoken to the kansas city chiefs who made clear that their prayers are with everyone who was at the parade today. everyone in kansas city and everyone who was touched by this incident. they also noted that their players, coaches and staff are all accounted for at this point and safe. however, note that this is a fluid situation. so all that we're sharing now may change as the hours go ahead. we've also received a call from the white house that offered all federal assistance and the investigation. we have federal agencies present today. we appreciate that. and certainly in the days ahead and the hours ahead, we will make sure we continue to do this work. for tracking mexer you can also log on to the bbc website where we're posting live updates on that story. benjamin netanyahu says israeli forces will press ahead with an offensive against hamas in rafah in southern gaza, despite mounting international calls for restraint. his comments come as
1:09 am
palestinians say the israeli army ordered people to evacuate the nasser hospital in the southern city of khan younis — where hundreds of people have taken refuge. in these images — verified by the bbc — you can see a large crowd of people leaving the hospital. the israel defense forces says its troops were opening a secure route to evacuate civilians sheltering near the hospital, but it did not intend to evacuate patients and medical staff. our middle east correspondent nick beake has been following developments from jerusalem and sent this update. well, tonight, the prime minister, benjamin netanyahu, has doubled down. he's told the israeli people, "we will fight until complete "victory, and that includes powerful action," as he put it, "in the city of rafah after we allow the civilian population to leave the battle zones. " those were his words tonight, and i think what he's basically saying or what he's indicating is despite all these warnings
1:10 am
from the united nations, aid agencies, notably from the united states, he is going to pursue this course of action. and that means moving 1.5 million palestinians out of the city of rafah, so that the israeli military can embark on this big military operation to try and wipe out the remaining hamas fighters. of course, fighting continues elsewhere in the gaza strip. there's been a particularfocus in the city of khan younis around the nasser hospital, a really big medicalfacility. the israelis have been telling civilians who sought shelter there to move. they're being encouraged to evacuate. in fact, they're being instructed to evacuate. the israelis saying, though, that patients and doctors, they do not have to move. all of this, of course, makes a pretty bleak backdrop for the negotiations that continue to try and find some sort of cease—fire or a lull in the fighting. they've been taking place in cairo, and we hear that representatives from hamas will be joining the discussions in the days to come.
1:11 am
today, though, we've also heard from the palestinian president, mahmoud abbas, and he is urging hamas to do a deal very quickly. he says that has to be done, otherwise there will be, in his words, "another catastrophe". around the world and across the uk. this is bbc news. bbc news— bringingj you different stories from across the uk. with its origins in the street football of south america, futsal bounds into play at a salford sports centre. wearing kits to match theirsurroundings, pupils from the city have been giving it the thumbs up. it's a bit better than football in a way because in football, you mostlyjust blunder up the pitch but here you have to use the ball and your feet a bit more to get round players because it's so much smaller. the brand—new futsal court has been paid for by the fa, premier league, football foundation and salford city council,
1:12 am
who are putting in £127,000. how much is something like this needed in a place like this? everybody knows that sport helps to increase physical and emotional well—being. and just to get people together in the community, doing things that will benefit them. for more stories from across the uk, head l to the bbc news website. you're live with bbc news. protesting indian farmers have clashed with the police after resuming their march towards the capital, delhi. security forces used drones to drop tear gas on protesters, who used kites to bring them down. farmers are demanding minimum guaranteed prices for their crops. our south asia correspondent samira hussein reports. explosions. india's farmers have a message for the government —
1:13 am
and they want to go to the capital to deliver it. in response, the police drop canisters of tear gas. and then everything turns chaotic. canisters explode. the barrage is unrelenting. men shout. this is the government lobbing tear gas onto farmers here who demanding better protections. they are demanding fair prices for their crops, debt forgiveness and pensions. india's farmers have been here before. in 2020 they spent more than a year protesting against agricultural reforms. armed with the same resolve they are in it for the long haul. translation: when it comesj to growing food in this country that is when they need farmers. but when the farmers want fair prices the same farmers become
1:14 am
a terrorist or a separatist for the government. this time, the government is taking no chances, erecting barricades at every major entry point to new delhi, turning the capital into a fortress. �*farmers are left using kites to distract police drones, so uneven is the use of force. canister explodes. it seems prime minister modi's regime's tolerance for peaceful protests has reached its limits. samira hussain, bbc news, punjab. in ukraine, the new commander—in—chief has visited two key battle zones — and acknowledged that life on parts of the front line was extremely difficult. general syrskyi called the situation �*extremely complex and stressful�*. the comments came just hours after ukraine�*s military said it destroyed another russian warship, off occupied crimea. these are the pictures released by ukraine�*s military — showing the moment the landing ship was hit.
1:15 am
moscow has not commented on the incident — although it did say, that its forces had shot down six aerial drones over the black sea, as well as another three over russia. it�*s two years since russia invaded the country — uprooting ten million people from their homes. at the start of the conflict — our special correspondent fergal keane reported from the western city of lviv — as huge numbers of refugees — the largest in europe since world war two — tried to cram onto trains and escape. fergal has returned to lviv to find out what happened to some of the people he met. people shout. they were fleeing europe�*s biggest refugee crisis since world war ii. people are just crushing all around me, trying to get onto these trains. woman screams. a woman, a young mother with a baby there, screaming, because everyone�*s getting crushed. but two years on, what happened to the people fleeing and those helping them?
1:16 am
among the volunteers was dr natasha ambarova, helping some of the 10 million uprooted from their homes. now, after helping so many escape, she�*s still in lviv... child exclaims. ..and seeing the traumatic impact of war on her family. natasha is teaching medicine, knowing any of her students could end up on the front line. and now she�*s ready to fight.
1:17 am
you�*re a doctor, you save lives, but part of you wants to kill. mm—hm. it�*s my war, yeah. from the beginning, at the station, natasha was hearing direct testimony of russian cruelty. some of the worst stories were coming from the besieged city of mariupol. you�*re from mariupol? we met the verstiuk family — among them, 86—year—old grandmother maria and her daughter ludmilla.
1:18 am
maria fell several times in a basement shelter. bell rings. a year later we found the family living in ukraine�*s peaceful carpathian mountains, but haunted by memories of what they�*d left behind. six months after we filmed this interview, maria died in exile.
1:19 am
buried far from her husband and mariupol, the city she loved. dog barks. bugle plays. the war�*s sadness is everywhere now. in lviv recently, the funeral of yaroslav mikholev, one of 380,000 ukrainian soldiers killed or wounded. as we filmed, a veteran erupted in rage. man howls in anguish. man shouts. "death to the enemy," he shouts. an end to the dying, the exile, seems very far away. man continues shouting.
1:20 am
fergal keane, bbc news, lviv. north korea has hacked into the personal emails of a member of the south korean presidents team. the hack happened in the run—up to president yoon 5 state visit to britain last november. north korea 5 hacking abilities have become increasingly sophisticated, and this is thought to be the first time it has successfully hacked an official working in the presidents office. our seoul correspondent jean mackenzie has more. this hack was first reported by a newspaper here in south korea this morning which said it had the information from high—level government source. this source had told them that a member of the president�*s team at had their e—mails hacked just before president yoon went on the state visit to the uk in november of last year, where he met king charles and queen camilla and met the british prime minister rishi sunak. this source claimed that not only were the details of mr yoon�*s itinerary leaked but also e—mails from the president himself.
1:21 am
we�*ve spoken to the presidential office about this today and they�*ve confirmed to us that, yes, this hack took place but they would not disclose what information was accessed in the hack. they were very keen to point out to us that this did not mean that their security systems had been breached. they said this was down to one of their employee�*s careless actions because this employee in question had been using their personal e—mails to conduct work business — so, to plan some of this trip. we know north korea is increasingly using cyber hacking and its methods are becoming more becoming more and more sophisticated. it tends to have a two reasons to hack — the first is to steal money so that it can earn money for the regime, because north korea is under very strict international sanctions which mean it can�*t earn money in conventional ways, so it steals sometimes large sums of money, recently cryptocurrency, and it�*s thought that some of this goes towards the state�*s
1:22 am
nuclear weapons programme. the other reason that it hacks is to steal state secrets, so like this hack that we saw today, and the ultimate goal of is that it is thought to be to get access to sensitive weapons technology that it can use to advance its nuclear weapons programme. there�*ve been more warnings about the impact that artificial intelligence and so—called deepfake images and videos could have on elections this year in britain, the united states and india. a top us law enforcement official has told the bbc that the technology could incite violence and sow chaos, and that tougher sentences will now be introduced for criminal use of ai. here�*s our security correspondent, gordon corera. making a copy of yourself can take just a few moments, as i learnt in this interactive exhibition. but that means making a copy of someone else. what�*s often called a deepfake is also getting easier, thanks to artificial intelligence. that�*s worrying those in charge of security,
1:23 am
especially when it comes to a year in which two billion people are expecting to vote in elections around the world. a few weeks ago, voters in america�*s new hampshire primary election heard this. it�*s important that you save your vote for the november election. what sounds like president biden telling them not to cast a ballot, but it wasn�*t real. it was a deepfake. voting this tuesday only enables the republicans in their quest to elect donald trump again. on a visit to london, one of america�*s top law enforcement officials told me of the potential dangers of ai. it can have people...cause people to distrust the sources of information that they're getting, to dissuade them or confuse them in terms of exercising their right to vote. to incite violence, certainly, that's something that we're worried about. and to just generally sow distrust and potentially chaos. one fear is al fakes could be
1:24 am
used to spark protests like those after the last us presidential election. but us law enforcement is also using al to help in its own work, for instance, in sifting through images of that attack to identify suspects. and now authorities say they plan to tackle the use of ai in crimes with tougher sentences. our laws recognise that when you use a firearm during the commission of a crime, it makes it more serious. so we're going to be applying that same principle and seeking stiffer sentences. artificial intelligence looks set to test democracy in this coming year, asking difficult questions. in a world of ai generated deepfakes, it�*s becoming harder to know what�*s real and what�*s not, what�*s truth and what�*s an illusion. gordon corera, bbc news. now — there�*s new evidence suggesting more human—like
1:25 am
antics among great apes. scientists say they�*ve compiled the first detailed proof that they like to tease each other. video studies of chimpanzees, gorillas and orangutans showed behaviours injuveniles including elements of surprise and play. that�*s all we have for you on this addition. stay with us. hello there. some very wet, very mild conditions around at the moment. temperatures reached 16.5 degrees celsius in hereford on wednesday and it could turn even warmer still, perhaps, as we head through thursday. but the focus for the day�*s highest temperatures will tend to be further east. there�*s a lot more rain to come in the forecast as well, all of these weather fronts just pushing northwards and eastwards as we head through into thursday morning. so temperatures rising unusually through the night across much of scotland. and we�*ll start the day
1:26 am
off on 12 or 13 degrees celsius towards the south of england and wales. all of that mild airjust flowing in on that southerly wind from the azores. you can see all of that very mild air marked in the deep yellow there. it�*s a very wet start to the day across scotland, the heavy rain clearing northwards, being replaced by this batch of rain just pushing away from northern ireland. a cold front sweeping eastwards, giving some more heavy rain where the ground is already saturated, but it should stay largely dry ahead of the front across eastern areas of england. now, these are the average temperatures for this time of year, just 8 or 9 degrees. you can see just how mild it�*s going to be through the day on thursday. in fact, across parts of essex, we could even see 16 to 18 degrees celsius, perhaps, given any brightness. that�*s still well off the february record, but it will feel pleasantly warm, i think, for the time of year. now, as we head through thursday night, that cold front continues to sweep its way eastwards. and behind it, there�*s some slightly cooler—feeling air, but only a drop in temperature
1:27 am
by a couple of degrees or so. we�*ll start off friday morning, then, with a legacy of cloud out towards eastern areas of england. that�*s going to be clearing away. a few isolated showers, perhaps, in the wake of the front, but generally speaking, i think friday should be largely dry for most of us. the best of the brightness probably towards central areas at first and then out towards the east, but also some brighter skies, perhaps, further west. temperatures really around 9—12 degrees celsius for the vast majority. on saturday, again, a largely dry day. the brighter skies really towards the east. it will cloud over from the west through the afternoon, with heavy rain by the end of the day across northern ireland. once again, temperatures will peak between 11 and 14 degrees celsius, and that�*s where they�*ll tend to stay on sunday. that heavy rain clears eastwards as we head through sunday morning and the rest of the day should be largely dry with some spells of brightness. perhaps a few showers again on monday. bye— bye.

on track to be the country�*s next president. we will look at what it means for the region�*s largest economy.
1:30 am
the country has slipped into a recession based in figures. the economy shrank 0.4% on a yearly basis than many had expected it would. this means it is in a recession because it had two successive quarters of contraction and it could cost japan its spot as the world�*s third largest economy. economists predicted that dismounting reading would mean the value ofjapan�*s dismounting reading would mean the value of japan�*s output would fall behind germany and us dollar terms. a strategist gave me a break down on numbers. well, ithink gave me a break down on numbers. well, i think the first thing quickly to mention is how it is important. latte
