hello, i'm christian fraser. you're watching the context on bbc news. ajapanese rocket carrying a government test satellite explodes shortly after lift—off.

time for some sport, let's go to the sport centre, gavin is standing by. the final two spots in the european champions league quarter finals are up for grabs after arsenal and barcelona secured their places on tuesday. borussia dortmund's game against psv was finely poised ahead of their second leg last 16 tie.. it's 1—0 dortmund there in germany, with about 30 minutes gone. jadon sancho with the goal. and inter held the advantage over atletico madrid, from their first leg tie... it is currently goalless there in spain. one game in the premier league to tell you about — it's the rearranged fixture between bournemouth and luton town. into the second half of that one — and 0—3 luton.

tahith chong and chiedozie ogbene and ross barkley with the goals. this fixture was abandoned late last year, after luton captain tom lockyer suffered a cardiac arrest on the pitch. luton are out of the relegation places with a win. keep up—to—date with all the latest scores on the bbc sport website. jurgen klopp says the return of michael edwards to liverpool, won't mean he changes his mind over leaving the club this summer. liverpool host sparta prague in the europa league on thursday, and klopp was asked during his pre—match press conference if he may change his mind. the liverpool boss said edwards coming back was top news, and the pair have spoken since, but there was no attempt to persuade the german to stay on at anfield. can you imagine i change my mind now? can you? of course not, i cannot say what i said, it would be like if i never ever another club in england, and sign for next year for neighbours art which arose, that would be completely crazy, i don't say these things without thinking before. ijust want say these things without thinking before. i just want to do the

say these things without thinking before. ijust want to do the club to do as good as possible, i'm sure we create a good basis, with the right people in charge, and michael is a top choice. george north will end his wales international rugby career this weekend after saturday's final six nations match against italy. the centre has won 120 caps after making his debut as an 18 year old back 2010. he's been recalled to the team for the game in cardiff, which will decide the tournament's wooden spoon for coming bottom of the table. north said it feels the right time to step away — and that he's been very lucky to have lived his dream. england batter harry brook has withdrawn from this year's indian premier league following the death of his grandmother. brook was set to play for delhi capitals after being bought for £380,000 in december. he missed england's recent 4—1 test series defeat in india, after his grandmother first became ill. the 2024 ipl starts a week on friday. an upset to tell you about in the tennis — emma navarro, the unseeded american, knocked out world number two aryna sabalenka at indian wells, to make the last eight. navarro took the first set 6—3,

but the lost the second by the same margin... she held her nerve, to claim the biggest win of her career in the decider. she won that 6—2. sealing it on her second match point. sabalenka made several errors in the match — but a great win for navarro, who is into herfirst wta 1000 quarterfinal. and just a day before golf�*s players championship in florida, rory mcilroy is concerned "fans are losing interest" in watching the sport due to the splits which have seen several of the world's top names defect from the pga tour, to saudi backed liv golf. it means the championship at tpc sawgrass won't see the likes ofjon rahm, cameron smith and brooks koepka taking part. if i were a fan, i would want to watch the best players compete against each other week in, week out, and to me, that seems like the lowest hanging fruit. not the lowest hanging fruit, but basically, ok, i think if you just unify the game and brought us back together in some way,

that would be great for defence. way, that would be great for the fans. that's all the support from us or no. lithuania says the kremlin ordered a hitjob on one of alexei navalny closest allies, who is living in exile in vilnius. this is leonid volkov, a long time ally of mr navalny. this is , a long time ally of mr navalny. since russia started this massive war against ukraine now more than two years ago. he has had two effects. one is to reinvigorate naito and solidify the west, and the second an ally of alexei navalny, attacked seemingly outside of his home. we haven't got independent confirmation of who carried out the attack, but many from navalny�*s

team and indeed from the country translation: thank you very much for your words of support. _ it's a bit tough, but never mind. we'll get over it. i was pleased to read what you had written to me. even more so because while i was reading, i knew i was still alive. while i was reading, they wanted to make me into a schnitzel with a meat hammer right outside my house, in the yard. the attacker hit me 15 times in my leg. surprisingly, the leg is still in one piece. it is difficult to walk, but apparently the leg is not broken. my arm has been broken instead. oh, well, i'll live. the most important thing is we will continue working and we will not surrender. i am not ready to make any comments except for this. it was another obvious, typical, classic gangster hello from putin, from the gangster petersburg. vladimir vladimirovich, hello to you, too. what else can i say? continue working against putin. that's what needs to be done. let's go on. meanwhile, president putin was telling state television last night that he deploying troops to finland's border and is ready to use nuclear weapons if russia territorial integrity is ever put at risk. both finland and sweden have

joined nato since russia's invasion of ukraine. putin said finland had joined the alliance to be members of a �*western club'. translation: why they needed this, i frankly don't understand. _ this is an absolutely meaningless step from the point of view of ensuring their own national interests. but nevertheless, it's up to them to decide. that's what they decided. we didn't have troops there. now they will be there. there were no systems of destruction there. now they will appear. so why? in washington, house democrats and a small group of centrist republicans have launched separate efforts to force a vote on tens of billions of dollars in wartime aid for ukraine, intensifying the pressure on speaker mikejohnson. the democrats that included senator richard blumenthal urged the current republican, mikejohnson, to "lead, follow or get out of the way" ukrainians are bleeding and dying on battlefields to preserve their democracy

and freedom, and we will be bleeding and dying with our troops on a battlefield in europe if we fail to give ukraine what it needs because putin will keep going. they springing a master, senior director of the atlantic coastal and former us ambassador to ukraine. good to have you with us. a start with the interview that vladimir putin gave last night to one of the most important figures on state television. everything, of course, is for domestic consumption, what is the message you think he is trying to send? he the message you think he is trying to send? , ,., to send? he will be battling in the presidential _ to send? he will be battling in the presidential elections _ to send? he will be battling in the presidential elections next - to send? he will be battling in the presidential elections next week, | presidential elections next week, and trying to demonstrate he is tough as hell, and therefore russia is respected on the world stage. he

is respected on the world stage. he is also directed to western audiences, parts of which have been intimidated by who tends to clear threats, even though we have crosses supported redlines where he would possibly use nuclear weapons. the white house _ possibly use nuclear weapons. the white house was clear today that they are not any more concerned than they are not any more concerned than they were, there's been no strategic repositioning of nukes in russia, as far as they are aware. does it reflect, some of the difficulties that russians have had on the battlefield?— that russians have had on the battlefield? �* , ., , ., battlefield? there's no question that moscow — battlefield? there's no question that moscow are _ battlefield? there's no question that moscow are putin - battlefield? there's no question that moscow are putin expectedj battlefield? there's no question i that moscow are putin expected a quick and easy invasion into ukraine two years ago, and it is not been easy, instead, they have suffered huge losses and far from their objectives for ukraine. so he has decides to talk about nuclear weapons because conventional forces of failed. the

circumstances, cost of living — like, rent in bristol is insane. like, i pay £70 a month to live in this. now, according to the city council, the numbers of people living in vans and caravans in the city has gone from 150 pre—pandemic to around 600 today. but unless the council considers an encampment to have a high impact on residents, they won't take enforcement action. last year, people living on the roadside in east bristol were moved on after the council obtained an injunction following a glut of complaints. with the cost—of—living crisis showing little sign of easing, it's unlikely bristol's van dwellers will be hitting the road any time soon. for more stories from across the uk, head to the bbc news website. - you're live with bbc news the european parliament has today approved legislation they hope

will constrain the risks of artificial intelligence. that bill coincides with the release of new report from us state department, that says in the worst case scenario ai could "pose an extinction—level threat to the human species." the sector has seen explosive growth driving huge profits but there is very little scrutiny. presidentjoe biden did announced an executive order some months ago requiring ai developers to share data with the government. but this really is the first major attempt to put some guard rails in place. joining me now is luca bertuzzi, a techonologyjournalist based in brussels. i know, because i follow him on twitter, he has looked at it closely in recent weeks. some of the criticism i have seen about this is that it criticism i have seen about this is thatitis,it criticism i have seen about this is that it is, it makes compliance expensive and doesn't go far enough and it will soon be outdated by the rapid advances in al, is that a

in value in just two years. let's speak to leroy chiao — is former nasa atsronaut and was commander of expedition 10 to the international space station — he joins us from houston. always good to have you on the programme, thank you for coming on tonight. what went wrong here? tao tonight. what went wrong here? too earl to tonight. what went wrong here? too early to say — tonight. what went wrong here? trrr: early to say what went wrong but as you said about five seconds after liftoff, there was a problem and apparently the flight termination system was initiated and the rocket destroyed itself, so something went wrong with either the guidance system or some kind of communication onboard between the computer and the controls, the thrust vector controls, the thrust vector controls, it's a small rocket. only about 18 metres long, two stages of solid propellant and a liquid opera stage, so relatively simple, but again showing the precision that is required for everything to work right for the launch is to be

and if anything, the temperatures are expected to rise a little further as we head into thursday — quite breezy too, particularly in scotland. we've had some gales here. anyway, here's the satellite picture, and you can see the rain—bearing cloud streaming across the uk. that cloud produced the heavier rain around snowdonia, the north—west of england. and through the course of the evening, the weather front will be moving northwards. so where we had the clearer skies in the north, well, it's going to turn cloudy through the night. the outbreaks of rain will reach northern ireland, parts of southern scotland, too. but to the north, it will stay clear and chilly. so northern scotland, only around five degrees underneath the clear skies. further south, it's closer to about 8—10 celsius, and of course, we've got that rain, too. so let's have a look at the forecast for thursday — mild south—westerlies, that rain continues to make its journey northward, so quite a soggy picture here in scotland. out towards the west, we've got showers, and given some lengthy spells of sunshine,

which are just about possible across eastern england, east anglia and the south—east, well, temperatures here could reach 16 or even 17 degrees celsius. and then through tomorrow evening, it's a case of hit—and—miss showers across england and wales, but more wet and more, i think, substantial rain there for northern ireland and also scotland. that takes us into friday. as this low pressure pulls away towards the east, on its western flank here, we have winds coming in from the norwegian sea. so it's slightly colder air. if you look at the arrows, blowing in from the north, so that cooler air sliding across the uk, the temperatures will take a bit of a dip. single figures, i think, typically for for scotland, for the north of england, but still relatively mild in east anglia — 1a. and i think there'll be some showers around too, but also some decent spells of sunshine. and then friday night into saturday, it's going to be pretty cold. a frost will develop, and i suspect in some spots out of town, temperatures could be as low as “4 celsius early on saturday morning. that's not going to last very long. that sun is strong now this time of the year.

here's the outlook, then from thursday onwards — it's a bit of a mixed bag. rain at times, a bit of sunshine, but actually staying relatively mild for most of us. bye— bye.

hello, i'm christian fraser. you're watching the context on bbc news. tiktok is culture.

we have made this change, it is raw information, real time, the algorithm is like gold. this is really about controlling americans data. and if we cared about americans data then we would stop the sale of americans data universally. this is not an attempt to ban tiktok it's an attempt to make tiktok better. tic—tac—toe. and on our panel tonight we have paulwaugh, columnist for the i newspaper, and elise labott, contributing editor at politico. first — the latest headlines. the un agency for palestinian refugees says a staff member was among five people killed in an apparent israeli airstrike on its food distribution centre in southern gaza.

unrwa said the strike was carried out despite the centre's location
