into the south coast itself, a few showers for northern ireland. otherwise, a fair bit of dry weather for scotland and a good chunk of england and wales. temperatures still around about average, eight or nine degrees pretty widely. but then we're looking at this unsettled run of weather continuing well into next week with further accumulations of rain. it's already been a very wet month, so we could see some further localised flooding issues.
4:32 pm
this is bbc news, the headlines: hundreds of post office employees wrongly convicted in the uk's biggest miscarriage ofjustice are due to have their names cleared under new legislation. albania's constitutional court has approved a controversial agreement to return asylum seekers in italy to albania. and police in the uk warn about drivers under the influence of illegal drugs. time for a look at the business news now with mark. artificial intelligence has hit the tipping point. that was the message in recent hours from jensen huang, the boss of nvidia. it dominates the market for al chips. their earnings and forecasts were better than expected. profits for the last three months
4:33 pm
of 2023 were up 769% on the previous year. huang also announced new moves to defend its market dominance in china which is now threatened by us export curbs. but are we watching a bubble develop? here's one industry perspective from malcolm penn, who is a consultant to the semiconductor and electronics industry. it is the fundamental question, at the end of the day. are we reliving the dotcom crisis of the 2000s when everybody thought networking and the internet was going to change the way the world did? now, it did change the way we work and everything else, but not quite in the way that was envisaged back in the late 1990s and early 2000s. so clearly there's a lot of hype and hyperbole about al, but nobody really understands what ai is going to do... we think we know what it's going to do for us, but we don't know how we're going to use it or how it's going to be presented. and the thing is, you can't actually go to amazon or etsy and buy ai.
4:34 pm
you can only buy product, that have ai inside it. and that's a very different matter from a laptop or smartphone or something like that. ai is not a market in its own way. it's an enabler for other markets, and it's not very clear how that will actually roll out. as a reminder, nvidia provides the tools for the ai revolution. it's churning out chips made for al tasks bought by the likes of microsoft, meta, google and amazon. 0ur north america business correspondent erin has been monitoring its share price. how's that looking? up, up and up! nvidia stock is up 15% since the opening bell this morning, a big number, higherthan we saw in the first minutes after 9:30am eastern time, and it is a big day for nvidia, and what we are seeing in these returns is that, sure, we could have a conversation about how high enthusiasm for al can

4:36 pm
it's two months since a fuselage panel blew out of one of thejets mid—flight, causing more than 170 of them to be grounded. well, all this week the bbc�*s monica miller is reporting from the singapore air show, where boeing has been keeping a low profile amid the latest safety scandal to hit the plane maker. this is the moment where aerospace makers need to shine. they have a captive audience of potential buyers from more than 50 countries at this airshow. airbus, the world's largest commercial plane—maker, made a splash as its a350—1000, took a spin around the expo using sustainable aviation fuel. 0ne glaring omission from the line—up was boeing. no passengerjets were on display after a recent mid—flight incident where a cabin panel detached from a brand—new alaska airlines boeing 737 max 9. in a preliminary investigation, us regulators found four critical bolts were missing that were meant to hold the door plug in place. now the future of the family of the 737 max fleet is in question. in 2018 and 2019, there were
4:37 pm
two crashes of the 737 max 8 that claimed the lives of 346 people. boeing used to have the reputation of building planes that withstood the test of time. even theirfans had a motto — "if it's not boeing, i'm not going." but that was then, and this is now. with the future of the family of the 737 max fleet in question, boeing has replaced a top executive in charge of those planes. at the airshow, boeing executives were optimistic about the demand for their planes in the region. can you just discuss some of the safety measures that many passengers are concerned about? the airplane is the most... by far the most scrutinised airplane in the world, in the history of aviation, and is the safest airplane that can be out there that is out there today. i flew on it just last week with my family. and all of the the flights that i've been on, the airplanes have been very full. 0ne expert says without that trust,
4:38 pm
the future of the fleet could be injeopardy. maybe people that didn't notice what they were flying before will notice this time. and as an airframer, that's something you really don't want. you want people to get on the plane, think about how nice it is, and just enjoy their flight safely. despite its problems, many airlines rely on this model. in fact, one 737 max departs every 16 seconds around the world, and boeing is still receiving orders for the 737 max, most recently from vietnam airlines and india's alcazar air. but there are contenders waiting in the wings. china's home—grown comac c919 made its international debut at the airshow. it currently has regulatory approval only in china, which means the long—time rivalry between airbus and boeing will continue. but once the approvals come rolling in, that might shake up the two—way dominance in the skies. monica miller, bbc news, in singapore. rolls—royce said annual profits more
4:39 pm
than doubled last year. it forecast further growth in 2024, sending its shares higher. its aviation business was a strong performer, as was its defence sector, where orders were strong. the company now expects underlying profit to hit as high as £2 billion this year. earlier i asked investment platform xtb's research director, kathleen brooks, about those bumper profits. rolls—royce actually said they expected to go back to pre—pandemic levels of air travel this year, so really fuelling demand for their large engines. and the sales of those large engines reached the highest level for 15 years. added to that, all of these geopolitical crises in the world means that governments are now ramping up their spending, and that is a beeline for rolls—royce, they are all making a beeline for rolls—royce, that is benefiting their bottom line. at the same time, they are embarking on this turnaround plan which really does seem to be working. how much of this is down to leadership for rolls—royce's results, down to specifically the former bp boss thatjoined last year?
4:40 pm
well, i don't think you can underestimate his influence, he set some really tough targets, and they are halfway to achieving them already. added to that, he said he would be very tough on costs and pricing, and they have seen an increase in their contract pricing, so no more discounts for customers, he is firmly focused on the bottom line, and i think these results for 2023 and the forecast for the future really show that is starting to pay off. just in his tenure alone, their stock price is up more than 200%, so it is trading more like a big tech stock, rather than one of the dinosaurs of the ftse 100, and that is partly down to him. it is quite an austerity programme, 2,500 morejobs being cut by the end of next year — are there lessons for other companies in that? i think what you are seeing is that the ceo knows is
4:41 pm
that investors love dividends, which he wants to reinstate, and they love them to adhere to strong cost regulations, and sadly that does mean job losses, and we have to factor ai into the mix, that could lead to further job losses. getting control of costs is something that you are seeing in this earnings season, all businesses across a range of sectors are really trying to do. that is all your business news for now. around the world and across the uk, you're watching bbc news. bbc news bringing you different stories from across the uk. the decision to build an incinerator here has upset a lot of people. local residents have protested about the plan, saying it will cause pollution in a built—up area, and a total of five local councils across cambridgeshire and norfolk opposed them too. despite this, the government has approved plans for the incinerator to be built on the industrial estate. the company behind the plans says the facility,
4:42 pm
which would be one of the biggest in europe, would burn up to 625,000 tonnes of non—recyclable household, commercial and industrial waste each year. this could generate more than 50 million watts of electricity and up to 30 million watts of steam heat. this project will help a government that's under pressure to provide energy security and reduce landfill. but it once again highlights that there is often a conflict between national needs and the impact on local communities. for more stories from across the uk, head to the bbc news website. you're live with bbc news. albania's parliament has approved a controversial asylum deal signed with italy in november. it involves reception centres being set up on albanian territory for people who went to italy seeking asylum. albania could now potentially
4:43 pm
process up to 36,000 people a year. with me is our correspondent sofia bettiza. what is this agreement between italy and albania? so, matthew, this is a deal that has already been approved by the italian parliament several weeks ago, and todayit parliament several weeks ago, and today it was adopted, as you say, by the parliament in albania, so it can now be implemented. what that means is that this is an attempt by the italian government to deal with the issue of illegal migration. as we know, every year, thousands of people across the mediterranean sea by boat to try and reach europe, and italy is the country, often the first country that they get to. under this agreement, the italian government will build two microns migrant centres in albania, and this is where migrants were rescued at sea will be taken, they can apply for asylum, and they will then wait there for the outcome of those

4:45 pm
reached italy by boat, and that number is a lot higher than the previous year, so she is under pressure and helping to send a strong message with this deal, that people should not try and reach italy. people should not try and reach ital . ~ . people should not try and reach ital . . ., ., people should not try and reach ital. ~ ., ., . people should not try and reach ital. ., . , italy. what about critics? in this count , italy. what about critics? in this country. there _ italy. what about critics? in this country, there have _ italy. what about critics? in this country, there have been - italy. what about critics? in this country, there have been legall country, there have been legal challenges, human rights groups are really concerned, what about italy? human rights groups, many of them are concerned, amnesty international have called the deal cruel and unlawful. the main concern is that people will effectively be detained in albania. at the moment, when migrants are rescued at sea and taken to italy, normally they are released pretty quickly, but critics are saying that detaining them isn't necessary and adds an extra layer of suffering to people that have already endured a very dangerous journey, one of the most dangerous migrant roots in the world.- migrant roots in the world. thank ou for migrant roots in the world. thank you for taking _ migrant roots in the world. thank you for taking us _ migrant roots in the world. thank you for taking us through - migrant roots in the world. thank you for taking us through all- migrant roots in the world. thank you for taking us through all of. you for taking us through all of that, thank you.
4:46 pm
scientists have worked out how some of the largest whales in the ocean produce their haunting and complex songs. humpbacks and other whales have evolved a specialised voice box that enables them to sing underwater. let's take a listen. the discovery, published in the journal nature, has also revealed why the noise we make in the ocean is so disruptive for these ocean giants. whale song is restricted to a narrow frequency that overlaps with the noise produced by ships. earlier, we spoke to our science correspondent victoria gill to learn more about the study�*s findings. yeah, it is a fascinating study, a really interesting method, the scientists i have spoken to about this experiment say the researchers have been so creative, because these are incredibly difficult animals to study, these are baleen whales, the animals that save huge amounts of food through these saves in the mouth, they grow to massive sizes, some of the biggest animals that have ever lived, these baleen whales, and they have managed to study three by finding stranded whales,
4:47 pm
so a minke whale and a humpback whale, and they dissected and studied their vocal apparatus. what they did in their laboratory was test them by pumping air through the voice box and showing that vibrations in the tissue, much like the vocal folds in our throats, does actually produce these sounds. but it is very special, this baleen whale vocal apparatus. instead of the vocal cords where we have to breathe in and pass air across, they can recycle air, and they have a special sac in the throat that they can pump across these vocal tissue, so that they can hold their breath and seeing underwater, an amazing insight into how these complex sounds are produced, all while holding their breath and not inhaling water. and were the scientists surprised by what they found? because it differs
4:48 pm
from other whales. exactly, so toothed whales — dolphins, porpoises, orcas — they have been studied in captivity, so there is a lot more known about them, and they have vocal apparatus in the nasal passages, so it is very different. and although it was understood, suspected that they could produce these sounds in the larynx, it had never been shown or tested in the way it has in these other animals. so the researchers have this absolute demonstration now, and it tells this amazing evolutionary story as well, because the evolutionary history of these animals is, terrestrial animals went back into the sea, and it seems like they kept their vocal apparatus in the larynx, but they just evolved it so it was very specialised for underwater communication. and sounds are such a hugely important part of these animals' world, the sounds can travel
4:49 pm
hundreds of miles through the ocean so they can find each other, call out to a mate, communicate, and they can navigate the environment through sound, which is why this insight about how much the sound overlaps with the noise that we put into the ocean is so important as well. now toy story getting a little bit of attention, because a dog previously crowned the world's oldest is nowjust a dog after the dinners of world records... stripped of his crown — dinners of world records... stripped of his crown as _ dinners of world records... stripped of his crown as the _ dinners of world records... stripped of his crown as the world's - dinners of world records... stripped of his crown as the world's oldest i of his crown as the world's oldest dog, he was awarded the title last february, this is what his owner said at the time. translation: it said at the time. translation: , ., ., translation: it is a feeling of ride we translation: it is a feeling of pride we cannot _ translation: it is a feeling of pride we cannot explain, - translation: it is a feeling of pride we cannot explain, we . translation: it is a feeling of. pride we cannot explain, we knew many— pride we cannot explain, we knew many people told us that they would ask for— many people told us that they would ask for money, that it was only four people _ ask for money, that it was only four beanie they— ask for money, that it was only four people they knew, but we knew
