this is bbc news, the headlines casualties arrive at hospital following an explosion at a un relief agency warehouse in gaza. unrwa says at least one of its staff members was killed and another 22 were injured. is time up for tiktok in the us? the house votes to force a split from its chinese owner or face a ban. the world's first comprehensive law regulating ai receives final approval in the eu parliament. and reaching for the sky. why the giant redwood, the world's largest tree, is thriving in the uk. time for a look at the business news now with ben thompson. we start in the us where in the past couple of hours, the house of representatives passed a bill that would ban tiktok in america unless its chinese owners sold the part of it operating in the us. a ban would be hugely significant as it has more
4:31 pm
than 170 million users in the us. the measure is the latest in a series of moves in washington to respond to us national security concerns about china, from connected vehicles to advanced artificial intelligence chips to cranes at us ports. let's get the latest on this our north america business correspondent erin delmore has been folllwing the vote from new york. just how significant is this? because it is the first stage, isn't it? , ., ., , it? there is more to come. exactly, ben. it it? there is more to come. exactly, ben- it sets — it? there is more to come. exactly, ben. it sets the _ it? there is more to come. exactly, ben. it sets the table _ it? there is more to come. exactly, ben. it sets the table for— it? there is more to come. exactly, ben. it sets the table for what - ben. it sets the table for what could be further action and to be very specific, the action says that the company, the chinese company that owns tiktok would have to either divest, that mean cell, tiktok or face a ban in the united states. that itself could have
4:32 pm
implications on american national security, small businesses, youth, the election, especially the voters and how they break between what is now a race between presidentjoe biden and former president donald trump, and therefore do a couple of notable things about the vote today put up a rare moment of bipartisan support on capitol hill. we don't often see these lopsided numbers in the house of representatives but we did see this past overwhelmingly put lawmakers have centred around an argument that this proposes poses a national security rest of the united states because they say that the 170 million users of tiktok in the united states are vulnerable to influence by the chinese government and having their data taken by the chinese government because of their close relationship. now, we don't know exactly what happens next with this bill. we are happy to talk you through that. this bill. we are happy to talk you through that-— this bill. we are happy to talk you through that. yes, yet i wanted to ask because _ through that. yes, yet i wanted to ask because as _ through that. yes, yet i wanted to ask because as we _ through that. yes, yet i wanted to ask because as we discussed - through that. yes, yet i wanted to ask because as we discussed this | through that. yes, yet i wanted to l ask because as we discussed this is the first stage in what could be a very long process. what happens next and he would be potential buyers for

4:34 pm
actually proposed a ban on tiktok when he was in the white house which brings us to where this legislation could land? in the courts. we have seen the storyline before with this argument getting caught up in free speech, first amendment conversations here. this well could be headed to the courts even if it is signed by president biden. thank ou. i is signed by president biden. thank you- i have — is signed by president biden. thank you- i have a _ is signed by president biden. thank you. i have a feeling _ is signed by president biden. thank you. i have a feeling we _ is signed by president biden. thank you. i have a feeling we will- is signed by president biden. thank you. i have a feeling we will talk- you. i have a feeling we will talk about this again a little bit later. thank you. to strasbourg now where another vote has been taking place, over ai, the european parliament approved the world's first comprehensive framework for constraining the risks of artificial intelligence. the sector has seen explosive, driving huge profits but also stoking fears about bias, privacy and even the future of humanity. the ai act works by classifying products according to risk and adjusting scrutiny accordingly. the law's creators said it would make the tech more "human—centric." earlier i spoke to nader henein, data protection and ai analyst at gartner, a research and consulting firm.
4:35 pm
the law is, as you mention, quite simple. it wants organisations to categorise the use of ai simple. it wants organisations to categorise the use of al to one of four levels. another is based on the risk to representative individuals. it is not a huge burden on organisations and innovators, organisations and innovators, organisations building ai capabilities, it is also not much of a burden on them. itjust mandates some care when developing ai capabilities. some care when developing ai capabilities-— capabilities. they've called it, lookinu capabilities. they've called it, looking at _ capabilities. they've called it, looking at some _ capabilities. they've called it, looking at some of _ capabilities. they've called it, looking at some of the - capabilities. they've called it, - looking at some of the comments from some of those lawmakers, calling it a historic day in a long path to regulation of ai. this was first proposed in 2021. the market for al has changed so quickly in such a short space of time and so, even this legislation looks like it could be backward looking rather than forward—looking, is that right? you forward-looking, is that right? you are very correct _ forward—looking, is that right? gm. are very correct in saying that because, back in this legislation,
4:36 pm
when they first started writing this legislation, ai when they first started writing this legislation, al was not as big of a deal as it is now. so a lot of the changes had been made to accommodate general—purpose ai and even created a category for that within legislation but is it perfect? no it is not. now there is any legislation on its first iteration. look at the gd pi. that is four decades of development. are going to see the same kind growth in this legislation on the subject of ai. yes. same kind growth in this legislation on the subject of ai.— on the sub'ect of ai. yes, and i'm 'ust on the subject of ai. yes, and i'm just looking _ on the subject of ai. yes, and i'm just looking at — on the subject of ai. yes, and i'm just looking at how— on the subject of ai. yes, and i'm just looking at how they - on the subject of ai. yes, and i'm just looking at how they want - on the subject of ai. yes, and i'm just looking at how they want to l on the subject of ai. yes, and i'm i just looking at how they want to use a risk—based approach. they say the riskier the tougher the requirements and there will be announced the right ban on what is deemed to carry the most threat but therein lies the problem. he was making their subjectivejudgments on problem. he was making their subjective judgments on what is most risky? subjective 'udgments on what is most ris ? ., ., ., , subjective 'udgments on what is most ris ? ., ., ., risky? so, organisations are required _ risky? so, organisations are required to _ risky? so, organisations are required to do _ risky? so, organisations are required to do two - risky? so, organisations are required to do two things. l risky? so, organisations are - required to do two things. document the usage of ai and then risk score each one of them. now, if they risk score it to you leniently then they
4:37 pm
can be challenged on this either by or individual users saying we believe this is inaccurate so that is pretty much the same structure is the gd pi. you are responsible for the gd pi. you are responsible for the decisions and risk assessments you make and there is a space, forum in which you can be challenged. the big issue with this particular legislation is that it is unlikely gdp are in the sense that it doesn't come into effect in just two years, it has a staggered approach. in six months, rules around prohibited ai come into effect put up six months after that, the penalties and will amount general—purpose and that the two—year mark remaining rules come into effect with more changes at the three—year mark so organisations now have two hustle to basically address requirements, do their due diligence and answer some hard questions because, as you mentioned, the prohibited use of ai comes with the highest finds at 35 million euros or 7% of the global turnover so organisations want someone to stand in front of the board and effectively say whether or not they

4:43 pm
two villages on either side of the dmz were allowed to remain. taesung, known as the freedom village, and kijong, known as the peace village. 0ur correspondent in seouljean mackenzie went to taesung to meet the few people who still live there. the strip of land separating north and south korea. this is freedom six, over. but beyond the barbed wire sets a deceivingly peaceful village. where a tiny community of south koreans live in the shadow of their enemy. north korea. closely guarded by an elite battalion of soldiers. like many of the villagers, mrs kim was born here before
4:44 pm
korea was even divided. she has now been offered some serious perks to convince her to stay. she doesn't pay taxes or rent and with extreme isolation comes an abundance of land to farm. one day when i was gathering acorns, north korean soldiers came to close, mrs kim tells me. i started screaming. it was so scary. the village was established at the end of the korean war as a symbol of peace. along with another village in the north. but no one is thought to live there now. given the north koreans have decided to abandon this village, and they don't have people living there, why do you keep people living here? right. many people believe that both exist in the hope of one day we unifying the korean peninsular. failing that, perhaps one day could pave the way for the normalisation of relations between the two koreas. but this hope is dying. last month, the north declared unification impossible. and branded south korea at number one enemy. putting the elderly

residents on the front line of escalating tensions. we are taking up to the fields along the border. beyond the rusty sign is north korea. here, farmers must be escorted by soldiers with machine guns. we are so close to north korea now. the border is just that behind hours and there is no fencing whatsoever so there is nothing to physically stop the soldiers from walking into these fields and then on into the village. as darkness descends, the threat rises. soldiers go door to door checking everyone is inside. this curfew is the most restrictive part of village life. this family, with two small
4:46 pm
children, are unusual. many young people have left the village. lured by the opportunities of modern—day south korea. and its numbers are shrinking. of modern—day south korea. do you think young people can be convinced to stay here? i don't think it will be easy. convinced to stay here? it is asking a lot for people to live with the curfew. not being able to come and go as we want. there are now so few children village primary school buses its pupils in from outside the dmz. and as the dream of the unification fades, it is getting harder to convince people to live here. fades, it is getting harder 0n the front line of a conflict that might never be resolved. and to see more ofjean's

journey into the village in korea's demilitarised zone, you can watch the full documentary 'living between enemy lines' now on the bbc iplayer, and this weekend on the bbc news channel. swedish police have, for the second time this week, forcibly removed the climate change activist greta thunberg from blocking the entrance to parliament. thunberg and dozens of other environmental campaigners began blocking the main entrances to sweden's parliament in a sit—down protest on monday. they're protesting against the effects of climate change and what they said was political inaction. she was driven away in a police van after being removed from the entrance of the parliament. giant redwoods, the largest trees on the planet, that's the conclusion of a new survey published in the royal societyjournal 0pen science. the trees aren't quite as big as those found in california just yet, but they're becoming a key part of the landscape. 0ur science editor rebecca morelle has been to see some of the giants. they are becoming a stand—out feature of our forests. giant redwoods are the biggest trees on the planet. these native californian wonders
4:48 pm
are fast growing and can lock up a vast amount of carbon and now they are looming large across the landscape in the uk. these giant redwoods really live up to their name. they are suitably huge. here are a couple of questions. how many of these trees do you think there are in their native californian region? the answer is only about 80,000. and how many giant redwoods do you think there are here in the uk? well, you might be surprised to learn that there is an estimated 500,000, and that number is growing. the latest stock—take shows that the trees are thriving here. these giant redwoods were planted in wakehurst, in sussex, about 150 years ago, and it turns out that the damp british weather, especially a misty day like this, is good for them. where they grow in california is cooler and moister than you would typically envisage california and we have a reasonably similar climate here. they need the moisture to grow. the estimate of how many
4:49 pm
there are here in the uk seems to be an awful lot. were you surprised by that? so here is the next question, how high do you think these trees can grow? well, the answer is up to 90 metres tall. but this one is not quite there yet. for this study, scientists have been using lasers to scan the trees. this giant redwood is 46 metres tall but the scans also let scientists calculate the weight of the tree, so they can work out how much carbon is being soaked up. these trees, they are about 30 tonnes, which means they have about 10—15 tonnes of carbon stored in the tissues. compared to the largest tree in california, which has about 250 tonnes of carbon stored in it, they are quite small, but these could get big. havering country park in essex is one of the sites that are being surveyed by the researchers. it has an avenue of giant redwoods planted to provide a grand entrance to a stately home that is no longer here. these trees were once the ultimate status symbol. i see them all over the place and they pop up in the most weird and wonderful places and i think partly they have this iconic status
4:50 pm
because they are the biggest organisms on earth and they are some of the oldest organisms on earth, so we kind of hold them in a regard of these exotic species. final question, how long do you think these trees can live? well, the answer to that is a very long time. more than 2,000 years. even in ourfoggy weather, the uk's giant redwoods are hard to miss, but there is still a lot we need to find out, like how well they fit into our forests and the heady heights they will eventually reach. rebecca morrelle, bbc news. ajapanese rocket, carrying a small government test satellite, has exploded shortly after lift—off. have a look at the moment it all went wrong. tokyo—based start—up company space one, had hoped to become the first japanese private firm, to succesfully put a satellite into orbit. the company said, it's investigating what happened. it's not clear if there were any injuries.

chancellorjeremy hunt has appeared before the treasury committee in westminster this afternoon, to answer questions from mps on the details of his spring budget. mr hunt, who handed down the budget last week, was questioned on a range of issues including the increasing income tax burden, and the need to build more social and affordable homes. a major focus of the committee was the proposed cut to national insurance. those cuts in national insurance are going to add 1% to peoples living standards after a cost of living crisis that really matters. because of that decision, partly because of that decision, the 0pr upgraded their forecasts that decision, the 0pr upgraded theirforecasts for that decision, the 0pr upgraded their forecasts for growth next year by not .5%. i think that is a pretty good thing for the country when we are emerging from a technical recession to see additional growth. i think it is very good for people struggling on a cost of living crisis. . . . f

4:53 pm
i thought what i was doing, right, was showing young lassies and young women that there's, like, alternatives, you know, that we don'tjust have to rush into things with potentially the wrong bloke. single at 39, natalie decided to freeze her eggs in 2020, but the science teacher struggled to understand what her chances of having a baby were. it's just purely now based on trust and hope rather than data and research. i feel it was a journey that i felt very alone on. i don't think i expected, you know, the financial toll. honestly, it was probably the biggest hit. it was just trying to find the money from anywhere to make this happen. fertility clinic websites can be a key source of free information, but analysis by the bbc found a1% of clinics which offer private egg freezing in the uk may have breached advertising guidance. we found some clinics are prominently displaying attractive sounding success rates, but these numbers only cover one stage of the egg freezing journey.
4:54 pm
the chances of going on to have a baby are far lower, and that isn't always made clear. we shared our findings with the fertility network. to invest in egg freezing, a massive financial investment, what a key decision in your life. i feel very angry for patients because they are being misled by this level of information. fertility experts told us patients should get personalised information about their chances of success at a consultation, but stress websites must be transparent. the ability to freeze eggs. the uk's fertility regulator is clear. the responsibility to inform lies with clinics. freezing eggs for medical reasons is very different to freezing for social reasons. and as a regulator, we are concerned about the success rates. we are concerned about the information women are getting when they're considering this process. natalie is one of the few who's come back to use her eggs,
4:55 pm
and now has a baby boy. the whole journey cost more than £18,000. holding huxley for the first time, i mean, you'rejust, you're in awe that this baby has come from a frozen egg. i have been really, really fortunate and i'm forever grateful for that. anna collinson, bbc news. we will have more on that story in the next hour. let me take you through what we have in the next 60 minutes on a verified lie. we have all the details at a facility that killed at least five people. we will also be getting the latest on the fallout from the prime minister's questions that we saw earlier in the day as rishi sunak is resisting calls to return money from a conservative donor who reportedly said that the mp diane abbott should be shot so we'll be live in westminster on that story, that controversy still not dying down.
4:56 pm
but still will be on the borders with haiti. 0ur correspondence there for the deteriorating security situation. we are also going to take you to wales by mark drake fred has told the uk kev inquiry it was, quite quite extraordinary that the former prime minister borisjohnson deliberately did not meet with the devolved leaders regularly in early 2020. so although that is coming up here on the programme and that is after the weather and that is coming now. hello. thanks forjoining me. it's a bit of a mixed bag out there. 0n the one hand, it's going to be relatively mild over the next two or three days. but on top of that, we've also got a lot of cloud and some really quite heavy rain today, especially across parts of wales and also the north of england. snowdonia could see as much as 100 millimetres of rain over the next couple of days. so really wet there. let's have a look at the forecast, then, as we go through the course of the afternoon. that narrow but very heavy band of rain from northern wales affecting parts of the pennines as well.
4:57 pm
to the south of the weather front, it's really mild, temperatures around 15 degrees in some spots. to the north of the weather front, it's a little less mild, around 12 degrees in the lowlands of scotland. and very windy here in the north west of scotland through this afternoon and into this evening, gusts of wind, 60, maybe even 70 miles an hour in some exposed coasts. but back to that rain. here's a weather front. actually, it tends to move northwards, this next weather front, through thursday morning. so the heavy rain will transfer into northern ireland and also southern parts of scotland. and also, to the west, we'll have showers spreading in, being carried by this mild south—westerly wind. and you really will notice the mild weather tomorrow. in fact, in some spots, particularly across the east midlands into east anglia, lincolnshire, mid—teens, 16, maybe even 17 celsius in one or two areas. and the forecast for tomorrow evening shows the wettest
4:58 pm
of our weather across scotland. really quite heavy, persistent rain. rest of the country, it'll be a mixture of clear spells and occasional showers. now, this is friday's weather map. the isobars are pointing from the north to the south, so we're on the other side of an area of low pressure, so our winds will be coming in from the north. so i think friday is going to feel a little colder, particularly in the north. it's a colder direction. so temperatures here i think around single figures for edinburgh, for newcastle, but in the south still relatively mild, around 11 to 1a degrees celsius, and a mixture of sunny spells and showers. friday night into saturday is going to bring a touch of frost, and then the outlook really does show that mixed bag of weather continuing but staying relatively mild in the south. bye— bye.
