stopped the policeman accused have stopped the policeman accused of murdering sarah everard for becoming a serving officer for the now for a full round—up, from the bbc sport centre. hello from the bbc sport centre. red bull team principal christian horner has again denied allegations of inappropriate behaviour, after a series of alleged messages were leaked. horner was cleared on wednesday, after an internal investigation into his behaviour towards a female colleague, but has made a further statement today as the new formula one season gets under way in bahrain. our sports news correspondent laura scott joins me with the latest — what did horner have to say, and why did he feel he had to say it? meanwhile — on the track —

lewis hamilton led a mercedes one—two in second practice in bahrain. team—mate george russell was second with aston martin's fernando alonso third. max verstappen — who's aiming to win his fourth consecutive title — was down in sixth, nearly half a second off the pace. paul pogba says he's sad and shocked after being banned from football for 4 years for a doping offence. the juventus midfielder and world cup winner was provisionally suspended in september after elevated testosterone levels were found in his system. he says he'll appeal the ban — as michael redford reports: absolute best is driving manchester united from a career that always promise so much for that once the worlds most expensive footballer could now be over after his give given a 48 bed for doping. in a

statement he said... the band was given after the midfielder tested positive for elevated levels of test or burn in a system back in august. the second positive sample released in october confirmed the doping violation. less than two eight return for manchester united. it move that was meant to

spark his revival. in truth his career has barely flickered. the pitch he's had a number of issues for the audit plagued by injuries making just 12 appearances since the start of the season. given till 33 years a century from cameron green helped australia edge towards a decent first innings against new zealand on the opening day of the test series. the all—rounder is 103 not out. he brought up his second test tonne off the penultimate ball of the day. matt henry took four wickets for the home side in wellington. australia, who were put into bat, will resume on 279 for nine. ireland are on top against afghanistan in their one off test in abu dhabi. paul stirling top scored with 52 as they made 263 to get a first innings lead of 108.

the president of world athletics, lord coe, says the sport has to move with the times to keep fans entertained. athletes have criticised the plans to trial a "take off zone" in the long jump, but lord coe says they must evolve. ever it is one of a whole raft that we look at. and that's all the sport for now. 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. we begin with the independent and artist and musician laurie anderson who confesses she's addicted to using an artificial intelligence text generator to emulate the words of her late husband, the rock star, lou reed, a decade after his death. the guardian reports google's chief executive sundar pichai has described some responses

by the company's gemini ai model as "biased" and "completely unacceptable" after it produced results including portrayals of german second world war soldiers as people of colour. the nation focuses on al for military use with a number of high—ranking officials predicting that artificial intelligence will transform the way america and its enemies conduct future wars. the telegraph says bbcjournalists will use al to write headlines as part of wider trials of the new technology at the corporation. the times looks at "buy now, pay later" company klarna who say its ai—powered chatbot does the work of 700 full—time staff. and the new york times has picked up on a willy wonka experience

in scotland which proved very different to the ai—scripted posters with me is stephanie hare who's an author on technology and our regular ai commentator. hello to you and thank you for joining us. you will take us through a plethora of stories we have today so let's start with laurie anderson, a us artist who says she has become addicted to artificial intelligence. i can see why, as a way to kind of reconnect with her partner, a husband, lou reed, a decade after her death as someone she worked and collaborated with. explain how she is losing ai. collaborated with. explain how she is losing al— is losing ai. they have effectively taken all of _ is losing ai. they have effectively taken all of lou _ is losing ai. they have effectively taken all of lou reed's _ is losing ai. they have effectively taken all of lou reed's lyrics, - is losing ai. they have effectively taken all of lou reed's lyrics, all| taken all of lou reed's lyrics, all of her husband's creative output and usedit of her husband's creative output and used it as a data set and trained an algorithm on it so she can then dialogue with it so it is almost like being able to converse with anyone who has really left enough output so everyone should start writing theirjournals now in case they want their grandkids to be able to talk to them after they are dead.

she is quite realistic about it and says, i really don't think i am talking to my dead husband and writing songs with him but people have styles and they can be replicated. it have styles and they can be replicated-— have styles and they can be relicated. , . ,. ., , replicated. it is fascinating. yes, i really liked _ replicated. it is fascinating. yes, i really liked that _ replicated. it is fascinating. yes, i really liked that and _ replicated. it is fascinating. yes, i really liked that and i _ replicated. it is fascinating. yes, i really liked that and i thought l i really liked that and i thought there was a lot more potential than what you were saying. there is a creative way she is using the tool which is to get inspiration and ideas and riff with a creative writing partner but you can imagine for someone diagnosed with dementia that they could put all of their memories now before they have lost them into a chat bot which then once they start losing their memory, they can start talking to themselves, coming what was my childhood memory lie, do i like my boss? this shows some really creative ways we are just starting to use this technology.— just starting to use this technolo: . ., . , , ., technology. totally interesting and one could imagine _ technology. totally interesting and one could imagine that _ technology. totally interesting and one could imagine that children - one could imagine that children whose apparent early on they could reconnect with them, who was this person? especially if they were too

time. unfortunately, this is what the ai tool from google produced, possibly because it was trying to over correct and try to introduce diversity where historically that was not the case. this raises the philosophical issue which is that these tools are not search engines, they are not resources you would use to write a history book or understand reality but they are creative tools and a problem in this case is that what they created offended someone and that is going to be, i think, offended someone and that is going to be, ithink, a offended someone and that is going to be, i think, a story that we will come across again and again, everything to do with al at the moment i guarantee will be offending someone somewhere. a, moment i guarantee will be offending someone somewhere. fix, bit moment i guarantee will be offending someone somewhere.— someone somewhere. a bit further into the article _ someone somewhere. a bit further into the article in _ someone somewhere. a bit further into the article in the _ someone somewhere. a bit further into the article in the guardian - someone somewhere. a bit further into the article in the guardian it i into the article in the guardian it talked about gender biased responses and it said four years, google will translate the gender neutral turkish races or they are a doctor and they are a nurse in to english is masculine for the doctor and feminine for the nose. —— gender neutral turkish phrases. we feminine for the nose. -- gender neutral turkish phrases.- feminine for the nose. -- gender neutral turkish phrases. we all have that bias in us _ neutral turkish phrases. we all have that bias in us and _ neutral turkish phrases. we all have that bias in us and i _ neutral turkish phrases. we all have that bias in us and i was _ neutral turkish phrases. we all have that bias in us and i was talking - neutral turkish phrases. we all have that bias in us and i was talking to l that bias in us and i was talking to someone yesterday who said i am talking to my ceo, and i said what

on this technology, and you don't have the argument that you can't defend against them, but we are looking at a world of battlefield that could very soon be overrun with robots. ., ., ., ~ ., robots. you are talking about unmanned — robots. you are talking about unmanned ground _ robots. you are talking about unmanned ground vehicles, l robots. you are talking about - unmanned ground vehicles, unmanned drones and all sorts of things, it doesn't have to have human involvement at all at that point. but at the moment, they are being controlled by humans. yes. but at the moment, they are being controlled by humans.— controlled by humans. yes, that is the whole thing, _ controlled by humans. yes, that is the whole thing, when _ controlled by humans. yes, that is the whole thing, when you - controlled by humans. yes, that is the whole thing, when you talk- controlled by humans. yes, that is i the whole thing, when you talk about autonomous weapons like drones being used in ukraine right now to defend against russia, the ideas they have against russia, the ideas they have a human in the loop so that drone should never be doing anything that would lead to the killing of a human being without another human sanctioning it, almost like a chain of command. we are looking at a future in which robots could be operating without any human involvement or oversight and working together as teams to decide how to take out a target, and that is the question again in terms of what could go wrong, what if in attempting to legitimately take out attempting to legitimately take out a target they also hurt civilians or do something we don't want them to

may be come up with a brilliant headline more quickly. is it that you could use ai headline more quickly. is it that you could use al to help you the best headlines and do it in one minutes rather than 20 minutes, in which case, when we all have deadlines... which case, when we all have deadlines. . ._ which case, when we all have deadlines... that is the thing, ri . ht deadlines... that is the thing, right now. _ deadlines... that is the thing, right now, the _ deadlines... that is the thing, right now, the bbc _ deadlines... that is the thing, right now, the bbc has - deadlines... that is the thing, right now, the bbc has been l deadlines... that is the thing, i right now, the bbc has been very clear that most of its ai pilots are part only in total use because the big thing about al is you want to be creating trust, we want to bbc viewers and users of the website and podcast know this is all human generated content at the moment and to ever signal that were to change, that'll be an important part of it, and even where ai is used that as human oversight. you might use it to come up with a headline but they will still be a human editor who will still be a human editor who will check it and batted. mn; will check it and batted. my understanding is this is all internal and it is very much authorisation where ai is used particularly other organisations will also be exporting the use of ai. -- will also be exporting the use of ai. —— you will check it and abet it. let's look at kleiner. i guess this is sort of a similar sort of area, if you like. this is from the

times talking about klarna's ai chat bot that does the work of 700 staff. yes, and what blew my mind is its big 700 languages which is going to be hard for a human customer service agent to rival, even those who are bilingual or trilingual can't get up to 35. klarna has so many customers worldwide in the transport has already handled 2.3 million conversations every month and no team of humans could do that. what does this mean? it probably means massive cash savings for them. they have said it does not mean they will be laying off staff which i think was quite interesting. they want to redeploy the human talent into higher value tasks i think that is what is the hope for lots of people, saying, can we use ai what is the hope for lots of people, saying, can we use al to do the things we don't want to do and get humans working on more creative and valued work? but humans working on more creative and valued work?— valued work? but you need more --eole valued work? but you need more eo - le to valued work? but you need more peeple to do _ valued work? but you need more people to do that? _ valued work? but you need more

maybe they got two jellybeans. but maybe they got two “ellybeans. but no maybe they got two jellybeans. but no chocolate and definitely not a world of imagination. stephanie, it has been absolutely brilliant talking to you and it is really a fascinating part of the week going through ai which is an area we know so little about but creeping into all of our lives, isn't it? thank you so much. all of our lives, isn't it? thank you so much-— all of our lives, isn't it? thank you so much._ we l all of our lives, isn't it? thank. you so much._ we are all of our lives, isn't it? thank- you so much._ we are out you so much. thank you. we are out of time but — you so much. thank you. we are out of time but we _ you so much. thank you. we are out of time but we will _ you so much. thank you. we are out of time but we will do _ you so much. thank you. we are out of time but we will do this _ you so much. thank you. we are out of time but we will do this the i you so much. thank you. we are out of time but we will do this the same | of time but we will do this the same time next week. around the world and across the uk, this is bbc news. bringing you different stories from across the uk. things like this are becoming a daily occurrence and this man says he is often powerless to do anything about it.— man says he is often powerless to do anything about it. sometimes we have to leave the door— anything about it. sometimes we have to leave the door open _ anything about it. sometimes we have to leave the door open so _ anything about it. sometimes we have to leave the door open so they - anything about it. sometimes we have to leave the door open so theyjust i to leave the door open so theyjust open the door and grab a drink and

at least 40 people. reports say the fire started at a restaurant and spread quickly through the building trapping dozens of people. rescue officials said the fire had not been brought under control. it's not immediately clear what triggered the blaze. details still coming in and we will bring them to you as soon as we will bring them to you as soon as we get them. in the uk — wayne couzens, who abducted and murdered sarah everard while he was in london's metropolitan police, should never have been given a job as a police officer. that is one of the stark findings of an independent inquiry. its chair says red flags about couzens had repeatedly been ignored by three police forces — and that without significant overhaul she believed there's nothing to stop another couzens operating in plain sight. the metropolitan police has responded that it must go further and faster to regain public trust. here's our home affairs correspondentjune kelly.

he was a predatory sex offender in a police uniform. a criminal with state—sanctioned powers. wayne couzens should never have been allowed to join the police, and constant flawed vetting meant he was able to continue in his role despite a series of red flags. these are the stark conclusions of today's inquiry report. the metropolitan police service told the inquiry in 2022 that it would still have recruited him if provided with the same information. i found this astonishing. without a significant overhaul, there is nothing to stop another wayne couzens operating in plain sight. the report describes how in 2004 and 2008, kent police turned down his application to join, but allowed him to work voluntary as a special constable. in 2011, another force, the civil nuclear constabulary, took him on — despite a recommendation that he shouldn't get through the vetting. in 2018, he transferred to the met.

an indecent exposure allegation, which was on the system, was missed. and by 2020, he was part of the parliamentary and diplomatic protection, and was carrying a gun. what this report lays bare, a very low base that we are starting from. and so whilst those improvements have started, we have a long way to go to build the high degree of resilience and strength to reduce to an absolute minimum the threat of anybody so horrific being within policing. couzens used his police powers to falsely arrest sarah everard in 2021, accusing her of breaking covid lockdown rules. he then raped and strangled her. today, everyone was aghast at even more shocking details in a case which has become synonymous with women's safety. anyone who is not fit to wear the uniform for whatever reason must be removed from

policing, and every effort must be made to ensure that similar people neverjoin. this report should be a watershed, but we said sarah everard's murder three years ago should be a watershed, and far too little has changed. how long must we go on and say the same things? a week after sarah everard's disappearance, wayne couzens was arrested. described as a man of "diverse and deviant sexual interests", he allegedly committed a very serious sexual assault against a young girl before he joined the police. at a mcdonald's drive—through in the days before he abducted sarah, he exposed himself to staff more than once. the report concludes there may be more couzens victims. he's also alleged to have had indecent images of children. the coming days will see the third anniversary of sarah everard's death. in the report, herfamily welcome its recommendations. they say the loss of sarah pervades every part of their lives.

june kelly, bbc news. you are watching the context on bbc news and we are darting around texas this evening because that is where former president donald trump arrived just in the last hour. we arrived “ust in the last hour. we will arrived just in the last hour. we will take arrived just in the last hour. - will take care of it, thank you. arrived just in the last hour. we i will take care of it, thank you. he will take care of it, thank you. he will take care of it, thank you. he will take care of the border on this beautiful day, donald trump said there as he arrived. so he is now at eagle pass, an area in texas which has seen a huge spike in people crossing the border illegally. as we have been saying, this has become a huge election issue on both counts. also in texas, we have president biden this evening. you are looking at pictures of brownsville border

station. earlierwe at pictures of brownsville border station. earlier we saw president biden speaking to border guards, outside the police station at the time. we are waiting to hear them say some words. you can see the podium their mind up. like those remarks, you would think would be happening in the next, certainly in the next few minutes or so. we will bring you those estimates we have them. but yes, a big day in texas today. both former president trump and president by that they're talking about the big election issue of illegal immigration. stay with us here on the context. hello there. well, the weather has been particularly grey and wet today across eastern areas of england. you might recognise this weather watcher picture, which shows the uk's tallest building, the shard, in london — or at least the bottom half of it, the top half sticking out into the cloud and the rain. now, the rain has been caused by this slow—moving weather front that really dragged its heels. but further northwest, we did manage

something a bit brighter — although we did have some strong winds bringing some large waves to lerwick harbour, in shetland. overnight tonight, those winds will fall light in scotland and northern england. with cooler spells here, we'll probably see some frost developing in the countryside. at the same time, a band of rain will start to encroach in wales and southwest england — the rain itself could be heavy enough to cause some localised surface—water flooding, given how wet the weather has been over recent weeks. for friday the low pressure is here to stay, and this occlusion brings with it the risk of some hill snow. now we are talking about the risk just across the high ground — 200 metres or above — with the main threat across north wales, the peaks, the pennines, and the high ground in northern ireland. the amount of snow we get will vary a lot from place to place — some places not getting very much, others could see five centimetres or more, bringing some localised disruption to high—level routes. but at lower elevations — which of course, is where the vast majority of us live — we're looking atjust cold outbreaks of rain. temperatures really struggling underneath that band of rain, probably 2—3 celsius for large parts of the day.

otherwise we should get up to around 8—9. but there'll be plenty of showers around for wales, the midlands, east anglia, and southern counties of england, as well. now, heading into the weekend's by the prospects, well, we continue to have the same area of low pressure withers, albeit it's weakening and drifting northwards through the course of the weekend. now, on saturday, it's a day of sunshine and showers. sunny spells may well be quite limited, but showers will be widespread — some of them will have hail and thunder mixed in, and it'll still be cold enough for a bit of snow over the tops of the scottish mountains and the hills in northern england — but really quite high up, so i'm not really expecting any weather impacts from that. it will continue to be quite cold — temperatures around 6—9 celsius, so those temperatures below average. by sunday, most of the showers will be across the northern half of the uk. in the south, something a bit drierfor wales, the midlands, east anglia, and southern england — but even here, you could see an odd passing shower. temperatures continue to run a bit below average for the time of year — highs between 8—10 celsius. that's your latest weather, bye for now.

hello, i'm sarah campbell. nice weather, beautiful day, but a very dangerous border. we are going to take care of it, thank you. we're a mere eight months away from the general election

and of course while we don't know that this will actually be a matchup between sitting president biden for president from one thing is for sure, with republican voters they feel that nothing has changed in this four years. polling consistently of americans puts the issue of americans among their top two concerns. beaten usually only by the economy into the dramatically increased cost of living. on the panel tonight — brian taylor, political commentator at the herald. and jennifer carroll, the former lieutenant governor of florida. first, the latest headlines. in breaking news — officials in bangladesh say a massive fire at a commercial building in the capital dhaka has killed at least forty people. reports said the blaze started at a restaurant and spread quickly through the building, trapping dozens of people. rescue officials said the fire had now been brought under control. it's not immediately clear what triggered the blaze.
