as it's the turn of arsenal this evening to keep the pressure on leaders liverpool. the gunners are at bramall lane taking on bottom club sheffield united, and a win would see them go two points behind the leaders and just one behind manchester city in second. they are scoring for fun. martin odegaard opened things up just five minutes in. a second came through with an own goal and that was in the 13th minute and then moments later gabriel martinelli got in on the action, making it three, and kai havertz added a fourth. 4—0 to arsenal at sheppard in that it and you can follow that on the bbc sport website and app. staying with football, and the republic of ireland interim bossjohn o'shea has been speaking for the first time this monday. the former manchester united defender played 118 times for the republic and was an assistant coach under previous manager stephen kenny. he's taking charge for the friendlies against belgium and switzerland later this month,

but what about the permanent role? look, let's hope that takes care of itself. ultimately for me, i am focusing on these two games and then we'll see what happens then. at the minute, i have been given the chance to lead the team for the two games against belgium and switzerland. going forward, who knows? i've spoken about this in the past about when management changes, everyone has their own ideas, head coaches have their own ideas. as always, i would be up for a conversation, but that is for further down the line. great britain's katie boulter has broken into the top 30 in the world for the first time after winning the second tour title of her career. she came from a set down in the san diego open final to beat the 21—year—old ukrainian marta kostyuk. boulter won on grass last summer in nottingham, but this was a wta 500 event, a much bigger tournament. boulter is one half of tennis�* golden couple, and australian alex de minaur was in the stands 2a hours

after winning on the men's tour in mexico. a small special thank you to my boyfriend. he finished last night at midnight, and i really want to embarrass him, so he got on a 4:15am taxi this morning and a six o'clock flight to be here today. so i do appreciate it. the president of motorsport�*s governing body is under investigation for allegedly interfering in a formula i race result. it was a whistle—blower said he allegedly intervened to overturn a penalty to that was given last year. the complaint came from a compliance officer to the ethics committee which is been seen by bbc

sport and neither the president nor the fia have responded to a request for comment. the ethics committee is set to take 4—6 weeks to issue its report. we're just a week away from the highlight of the jump racing season, the cheltenham festival, but it will be missing one of its stars. constitution hill will not defend the champion hurdle on the opening day. his trainer nicky henderson says he's failed to recover sufficiently from a respiratory infection, so won't be ready to run. lizzie greenwood—hughes has more. this is the best hurdler in the world, possibly the best racehorse in the world. if we could just see him a bit more often, just see how good he could be. he won last year's race by nine lengths. 0ne one of the very few bankers for british horses for the cheltenham festival. the horse is much brighter this morning, so there is good news. and it is nothing serious, but welfare is the greatest

concern amongst racehorse owners and trainers. and they said he is not going to be ready for what nicky henderson called the olympic games, and that is what the cheltenham festival is. time is running out. and that's all the sport for now. we are continuing to watch events in new york at the un and here is the head of this group is facing a acute funny crisis ahead of allegation from israel really side head of an allegation that for 50 of their staff were involved of the hamas operation 0ctober staff were involved of the hamas operation october the 7th. this of the could be forced to cease operations across the uk over the next few weeks if some of their biggest donors to not resume funding. that is the case for it unrwa in new york and we will bring you more of that as and when we get

it. now an extraordinary story out of germany. the german chancellor, 0laf scholz, is promising a full investigation after a recording of confidential talks on the ukraine war was circulated on russian social media, a huge embarrassment for berlin. in the leaked recording, german officers are heard discussing potential strikes on crimea. the video conference was reportedly held on the webex platform and not on a secure army network. the conversation included details of the missiles provided to kyiv by france and britain. russia's state—run rt channel posted the audio recording last week. here's some of that conversation as voiced by a producer at the bbc. let me start with what could be the most critical thing that might happen given the current discussions. if the chancellor does provide us with the taurus missiles, one aspect is the timing of this. we would say, "that's great, but it will take another eight months until you can use it." secondly, there's no way of speeding up the process because of the danger of mishaps and the missile going down on a nursery causing civilian victims.

the recording has provoked a typical response from russia, who say it is further evidence of direct western involvement in their war in ukraine. this suggests that within germany's armed forces plans for striking the territory of the russian federation are being discussed substantively and specifically. the german defence minister said the leak was a classic disinformation attack by moscow, but they have denied the contents of the recording. disinformation attack by moscow, but they have not denied the contents of the recording. translation: no-one seriously| believes that it was a coincidence that at the end of a week, just before the weekend, i the day after the funeral service for navalny, - after new revelations - about the wirecard scandal, this recording is now- being published by chance. germany is a member of nato, so this has sparked questions lord richard dannet is the former head of the british army. good of you to join us this evening. could i ask you how damaging this is to operations, embarrassing

certainly, but how damaging? weill. certainly, but how damaging? well, it of course — certainly, but how damaging? well, it of course will— certainly, but how damaging? well, it of course will be _ certainly, but how damaging? well, it of course will be far _ certainly, but how damaging? well, it of course will be far better- it of course will be far better if this had not come out at all. what it shows is german officers talking on an unsecured line about the possibility of germany providing missiles to ukraine. the same sort of missiles that actually britain has supplied to ukraine. i mean, thatis has supplied to ukraine. i mean, that is not a big issue in itself. we all know that we are responsible, western countries, art supporting ukraine to enable them to throw out the russians from their aggression in the territory of ukraine. i think the piece about this disappointing is the suggestion in other parts of the conversation that inappropriate help is being given to ukraine by people on the ground in ukraine.

last week, president macron said he would not rule out the idea of deploying troops to ukraine which some of their read as security but the german chancellor disagreed with macron. it always a bit chaotic at the moment. i macron. it always a bit chaotic at the moment-— the moment. i would agree, is utterly essential _ the moment. i would agree, is utterly essential that - the moment. i would agree, is utterly essential that western | utterly essential that western countries including the uk, germany, france, particularly the us, essentially the us support ukraine to the absolute maximum because the sovereignty of ukrainian territory was violated back in february two years ago, and it's really important that we do everything we can to assist ukraine to throw the russian aggressors out. but this must be seen as supporting ukraine fighting their war to reclaim their sovereign territory. what we absolutely must

not do is allow vladimir putin to be able to say this is nato fighting mother russia, because frankly that's not the case at all. we are supporting ukraine as a fairly country that we want to help, but it's not the same in any shape or form as saying this is nato attacking or even native defending ukrainian soil. ukraine is not a member of nato, and this is not a nato versus mother russia conflict in any shape or form. just nato versus mother russia conflict in any shape or form.— in any shape or form. just a quick final thought _ in any shape or form. just a quick final thought on _ in any shape or form. just a quick final thought on the _ in any shape or form. just a quick final thought on the missile - in any shape or form. just a quick final thought on the missile they | final thought on the missile they were discussing, which is been well documented that they're pondering whether to send the torus missile, which is a longer rain missile than what's been sent thus far. does it politically show that he is split from his commander at the moment? given the general talking about it and discussing what its capability would be and what it can be used for

and in the government seems quite adamant at this moment that they are not going to send it.— not going to send it. well, this of course is characteristic _ not going to send it. well, this of course is characteristic of - not going to send it. well, this of course is characteristic of the - course is characteristic of the whole debate this going on for the last 12—18 months aboutjust what weapons we would and we would not supply to ukraine. but frankly to come back to the basic point, if we really want to help ukraine throughout the russian aggressors from their territory, we need to give them the best help we possibly can. and if that means giving them long—range missiles in the same way that the uk has provided storm shadow and other similar missiles, then frankly i think germany is being rather halfhearted about his support. and frankly germany does not need to be halfhearted about this. it needs to step up, sign up to be a proper western country supporting ukraine in the same way that poland and the baltic states and other countries that have a

common border with germany, have a common border with germany, have a common border with russia are to make sure that ukraine can prevail against russia. because at the end of the day, the russian aggression is totally against the international order and actually must be rebuffed in the strongest possible way. always good to talk to you, they giver coming on this evening. thanks christian. a 72—hour state of emergency has been declared in the capital of haiti after two mass jailbreaks. armed gangs stormed the prisons and freed nearly 4000 inmates from the main jail in port—au—prince, where at least a dozen people died. the gang leaders say they want to force haiti's prime minister to resign. he had been out of the country, on a visit to kenya. james landale has the latest. gunfire. haiti has long been lawless and violent, but now

it's getting worse. in the capital, port—au—prince, people ran for their lives as what law and order there was broke down. thousands have fled their homes. powerful armed gangs already control much of the city, but yesterday they overran two prisons, freeing — it's estimated — about 4000 inmates. some stayed behind to avoid the shooting. translation: the riot in the prison put our lives at risk. _ we hid because there was a lot of firing. we were afraid for our lives. the government declared a state of emergency in the capital with curfews in place, but they may be hard to enforce. the gangs, which so often fight each other, have come together to try to oust the prime minister, ariel henry. he was in nairobi trying to persuade kenya's president to send him police officers as part of a un security force. he's thought to be back in haiti now. but a notorious gang leader known as "barbeque" said the armed groups were united against the prime minister.

translation: we ask - the haitian national police and the military to take responsibility and arrest ariel henry. haiti has long experience of dictatorship. . have been— elected for president for life. ..but recent years have been particularly bloody. in 2021, the president was assassinated, leaving a political vacuum largely filled with the gangs. killing, rape and kidnap are widespread. elections have been promised, but not held and it seems the gangs are losing patience. james landale, bbc news. serious situation and play more on the website. around the world and across the uk, this is bbc news. bbc news, bringing you different stories from across the uk. fenced off, rotting, leaky and rusty — these are just some of the problems facing whitby�*s harbour area. it's steadily deteriorated over the years, and now it's in a state where there are major repairs needed.

many tourists visiting whitby will arrive here in one of the harbour car parts. a 1905 act says that all surplus income from harbour land must be ring—fenced for harbour use, and the fight for whitby group say the car parking revenue should be spent on repairs. the group are worried that the town's sea defences and popular seaside areas are becoming vulnerable to climate—related flooding. the group started legal action against scarborough council, which has now been amalgamated made it into north yorkshire council. in a statement, it said it was committed to a thriving harbour in whitby. for more stories from across the uk, head to the bbc news website. you're live with bbc news. there are growing concerns about the way artifical intelligence could be used to mislead voters ahead of this year's us election. it's emerged that some supporters of former us president donald trump are creating and sharing fake images of him alongside black

people to encourage african—americans to support him in november's election. bbc panorama discovered dozens of the pictures created using ai. there's no evidence though they are directly linked to mrtrump's campaign. our disinformation and social media correspondent marianna spring reports. at first glance this photo looks real — only it's not. it was generated using ai technology by this radio presenter and his team and shared with more than a million followers, attached to a story about black support forformer president donald trump. i'm not a photojournalist. i'm not out there taking pictures of what's really happening. i'm a storyteller. i'm not claiming it is accurate. i'm not saying, "hey, look, donald trump was at this party with all of these african—american voters. look how much they love him." that wasn't the story at all. it does give that impression, though. it does give that impression. if you didn't know it was real, you'd think you'd think he's at this party and he's met all these people who support him.

because it's quite convincing. if anybody�*s voting one way or another because of one photo they see on a facebook page, that's a problem with that person, not with the post itself. i uncovered dozens more ai—generated images of black voters like this, mainly featuring donald trump. while ai image ofjoe biden exist, it's much harder to find ones that feature voters and target a particular demographic. whether biden or trump pictures, there's no evidence they're affiliated with either campaign. scary it can be created. it's scary somebody can push it out, but the part that scares us the most is when somebody in our community gets it, maybe an influencer, right, maybe a rapper, and then from there it's viral and itjust takes on a life and a truth of its own. how important is the black vote? the black vote is critical. it's going to be critical in this election coming up. it's swing voters who are feeling disillusioned, like douglas in atlanta, georgia, who could be the targets for this type of ai content. the democratic party only comes.

around to pander to the black vote only when re—election comes up. once they get re—elected, they forget about us - for the next 2—4 years. he believed this image was real before i revealed it was faked. still, it had an effect. trump and biden are dinosaurs, but if i had to lean my support. towards either one, which i don't want to, in my opinion the lesser of the two evils is donald trump. but i don't believe in voting for the lesser of two evils, i cos at the end of the day you're still voting for evil. _ ai—generated content can entrench existing bias, and there are concerns about the influence posts like this could have. but they're unlikely to swing a whole election. instead, they could further inflame tensions and divisions in what could be a fractious presidential race. marianna spring, bbc news. let's speak to taylor lorenz, tech columnist for the washington post. we will talk if we could about an extraordinary decision today in

mean, unfortunately i don't think tech companies are taking it seriously at all. right now we have silicon valley pouring billions and billions of dollars into these ai startups, and so you have got a growing proliferation of apps or you can easily generate anyone, can just easily generate fake images, and these platforms and self are not doing anything to police imagery or determine what's real or fake. sometimes insta grandma put manipulated photo on a certain image of his been flagged me tough by then it often has millions of use, so i think media literacy is at an all—time low as well when these changes are coming in so we are and nota changes are coming in so we are and not a great place. i changes are coming in so we are and not a great place-— not a great place. i saw report last week about _ not a great place. i saw report last week about the _ not a great place. i saw report last week about the discussions - not a great place. i saw report last week about the discussions within | week about the discussions within congress among lawmakers who left the rest of us don't fully understand where this is going or how quickly it's going to develop as a medic there was one report that mark warner, the democratic senator, has seen a file that the russians now have or are using this ai does

is an extent that they can create so many bots in so quick a time that actually this is a media companies would not be able to keep track of it. is that one of biggest concerns for the companies? it’s it. is that one of biggest concerns for the companies?— for the companies? it's a big concern- _ for the companies? it's a big concern- i— for the companies? it's a big concern. i mean, _ for the companies? it's a big concern. i mean, look, - for the companies? it's a big l concern. i mean, look, warner for the companies? it's a big - concern. i mean, look, warner is correct and that these platforms have just abdicated their responsibility to police the information on their platforms. but i also think it's bigger than social media. you know, these images often spread through group chats, through e—mail, through text messaging was up e—mail, through text messaging was up social media can be the kenneling that starts the spread of this type of thing butjust that starts the spread of this type of thing but just as that starts the spread of this type of thing butjust as she mentioned, a lot of this of a simplified by influencers, podcast or us, you to prison so i think as our media information ecosystem of all the people are getting more information from the sorts of influencers and less from legitimate news outlets, they are subject to a lot more of this deflated content. extraordinary. one other story i want to discuss with you, twitter execs suing elon musk we are told in

the last hour for $128 million execs suing elon musk we are told in the last hourfor $128 million in severance. we all remember how he took over the company and how many people walked in the first few weeks and preferably these are some of the top talent at the company.— top talent at the company. yeah, absolutely. _ top talent at the company. yeah, absolutely, and _ top talent at the company. yeah, absolutely, and we _ top talent at the company. yeah, absolutely, and we will _ top talent at the company. yeah, absolutely, and we will see - top talent at the company. yeah, absolutely, and we will see if- absolutely, and we will see if they have success against him. unfortunately he continues to just violate labour law after labour law, and he often does not really pay a price. he will sort ofjust two people along and who knows? he has billeted a lot of laws and it's very hard to hold him accountable because he has essentially unlimited funds. however i think this is a strong case, and i think it could, you know, could be a great way to begin to challenge some of this illegal stuff that he did. i don't know, zoe schiffer at the platform are recently reported in her book all of this egregious behaviour that elon is engaged in and he has not been held legally accountable for most of it. �* ., ., ,

into northern ireland now where we have the cloud and the rain, then temperatures won't be as low as where they'll be, where skies clear, and, again, a touch of frost, maybe the odd mist or fog patches, winds fall light. then into tuesday, we've got that overnight weather front pushing off in towards the north sea, another front pushing into northern ireland, western scotland, that'll enhance the shower activity here. could take a while for that front to clear the east coast of both scotland and england. eventually it will do, and it brightens up with plenty of sunshine. could still see a few showers towards the south and the south east of england, the odd heavier one. but most places, i think, away from these fronts, should be dry with some sunshine. top temperatures, 11 or 12 celsius once again, pretty much where we should be this time of year. into wednesday, we see this blocking area of high pressure over scandinavia begin to exert its force across the country. it will start to push the weather fronts out back into the atlantic. so i think many places should be dry on wednesday, variable cloud across scotland and eastern england. perhaps the odd shower, the odd shower perhaps for cornwall up towards northern ireland. otherwise most places

should have a dry day with lots of sunshine around, and the breeze will be picking up from the south east. top temperatures again, 12 or 13 celsius. similar story on thursday, if anything, that area of high pressure just edges a bit further westwards, pushing those fronts out into the atlantic. could be a bit more cloud around generally on thursday, central, northern, eastern areas, maybe the odd shower mixed into it. but there will be some sunshine around, probably the best of it in western scotland in towards northern ireland, west wales, south west england. temperatures maybe down a touch, the breeze will be picking up, 11 celsius will be the high. friday looks like we could see more sunshine around, again a brisk southeasterly breeze. there's just signs of it starting to turn a bit more unsettled and a bit milder as we head into the weekend.

hello, i'm christian fraser. you're watching the context on bbc news. they can go after me as a politician, they can go after me with votes. but they're not going to go after me with that kind of lawsuit. if the ruling had been upheld, other states will have tried to remove him from the ballot, and conservative states say that they would have removed joe biden from the ballot, so it would have caused chaos. this is america. i want to defeat donald trump fairand square,

i want him on that ballot. on our panel tonight, an independent trading economist, and a former ambassador to the uk. first, the latest bbc news. the british government's protracted attempts to send some asylum seekers to rwanda has suffered a series of defeats in the house of lords almost two years after the plan was first announced. peers backed one amendment requiring rwanda to be monitored to ensure it is safe for asylum seekers. the bill will now return to the commons for ministers to vote on the lords' changes. in the haitian capital, port—au—prince, schools and many businesses are closed as the government tries to enforce a 72—hour state of emergency. the gangs blamed for the violence over the weekend have erected barricades to prevent the security forces from encroaching on their territory.

the white house says it is monitoring what it
