more new on a new study in india — and shared with the bbc — that shows pregnant women working in very hot environments faced twice the risk of miscarriage, still birth, preterm birth and low birth weight, compared to those in cooler workplaces. india is one of the countries most exposed and vulnerable to heat — let's put that into context. over the past five decades, india has experienced more than 700 heatwave events, which have killed at least 17,000 people. climate experts say that india's extreme heat events could "cross the survivability limit" by 2050. researchers are now working with scientists in the uk to better understand how extreme heat could have an impact on advice for pregnant women globally. our global health correspondent tulip mazumdar has been to the indian state of tamil nadu, to meet some of the women who took part in the study.

we'll talk to her shortly but here's a clip of her film. it is around 28 degrees at the moment, and very humid. i've been sweating quite a lot all morning. this is just one of three jobs this woman has to help feed her two children. there was also a third child who she lost six months into her pregnancy. translation: i would work the whole day in the heat. l my legs would swell. i felt thirsty all the time and out of breath. one day i was cutting the crops, i suddenly felt intense pain, and i started bleeding. i went to see the doctor and he told me my baby had died. most of us women who have miscarriages never find out why their babies died, but do you think that working out in the heat could have had anything to do with it? translation: i think so. i think standing in the heat

for hours could have had an impact. with me now is bbc�*s global health correspondent, tulip mazumdar, and professorjane hirst, who is chair in global women's health at the george institute for global health at imperial college london, and is one of the researchers involved in the study. thank you both forjoining me today. before i talk to the professor, tulip, tell me more about the headlines from this study. this study followed _ headlines from this study. this study followed 800 _ headlines from this study. ti 3 study followed 800 women during pregnancy over a five year period, around half of them were exposed to extreme heat and work, working in places like agriculture or construction or in brick kilns, and half were not. what the authors found from the report was that the women exposed to heat did indeed face twice risk of stillbirth, miscarriage, preterm birth, or having very small babies, which is extremely worrying. there have been studies in the past which have

talked about this link between what they call adverse pregnancy outcomes and being exposed to heat, but this is the most stark we have seen, and also that has been done on big scale in a country that is particularly affected by climate change. professor, talk to us about the impact of heat on the body. thank ou. impact of heat on the body. thank yom there — impact of heat on the body. thank yom there are _ impact of heat on the body. thank you. there are a _ impact of heat on the body. thank you. there are a lot _ impact of heat on the body. thank you. there are a lot of— impact of heat on the body. thank you. there are a lot of potential . you. there are a lot of potential impacts — you. there are a lot of potential impacts in— you. there are a lot of potential impacts in pregnancy, as many women will know. _ impacts in pregnancy, as many women will know, when you are pregnant, bedwetting deer sweating threshold lowers, _ bedwetting deer sweating threshold lowers, women sweat quite a lot —— when _ lowers, women sweat quite a lot —— when you _ lowers, women sweat quite a lot —— when you are — lowers, women sweat quite a lot —— when you are pregnant the sweating threshold _ when you are pregnant the sweating threshold lowers. we think that when women _ threshold lowers. we think that when women are _ threshold lowers. we think that when women are exposed to external heat, such as _ women are exposed to external heat, such as those in the indian study, their— such as those in the indian study, their bodies — such as those in the indian study, their bodies may not be able to cope with the _ their bodies may not be able to cope with the adjustment, and that may lead to— with the adjustment, and that may lead to problems with blood flows

to describe some of the living conditions in port—au—prince as "precarious" is an understatement. this 20—year—old student and her family had to flee their home because of gang violence and now live in a temporary camp inside an abandoned theatre. on some days, she says, they do not eat at all. translation: i go to school with no food, spending the day _ hungry and then go to bed with nothing in my stomach. now she sees no choice but to abandon her studies. the daily struggle to find enough food in haiti is nothing new. the difference now is the scale of the emergency in food insecurity. potentially millions of people are in danger of falling into malnutrition and already do not know when or where the next meal is coming from. there are some success stories. this child was deemed malnourished a few weeks ago but a local ngo was able to hospitalise him and he is thankfully putting on weight. over the years, their residential

malnutrition centre has pulled hundreds of children back from the brink. mothers typically spend four weeks at the centre receiving urgent care for their malnourished children and instruction on providing high nutrition on a limited budget. the ngos have had huge success with just i% of children being readmitted after they leave. with aid still barely making it into haiti, this work is crucial but the ngo fears mistakes at the 2010 earthquake disaster response would be repeated in this crisis. a lot of these larger ngos fly in, fly out and they are handed all of the supplies and all of this aid and suddenly all of these funds to now hire all of these people. you are actually hiring from all of these local ngos when you could just help pay their staff members and help and give them the aid to distribute.

tilling the land in haiti is a dry, thankless work. climate change has been crops often yield for harvest often yield poor harvest or fail altogether. as haiti unravels, it is clear malnutrition is no longer a temporary passing crisis here and aid alone will not solve it. rather, it is becoming the norm, another part of the country's dire new reality.

here in the uk, a new report calls on the government to apologise and compensate women affected by the rising state pension age. the parliamentary and health service ombudsman says ministers failed to adequately communicate the changes when they decided to align women's state

pension age with men's. the campaign group women against state pension inequality — also known as waspi — says the change plunged tens of thousands of them into poverty. from 1948 until 2010, the state pension age was 60 for women and 65 for men. a law passed in 1995 said the women's pension age would increase to 65 between 2010 and 2020. the pensions act of 2011 accelerated that change, so that it was completed by november 2018. campaigners say some women were unaware of the changes, and so didn't receive their pension when they expected. the report suggests — from sample cases it has seen — that compensation owed to women born in the 50s could be between £1,000 and £2,950 let's speak to angela madden — chair of the women against state pension inequality group. she missed out on nearly five years

of state pension due to those state pension aid rise rules. thank you forjoining us on bbc news, i will get your reaction to what has been happening in a moment, but first one, to help our viewers understand the story, perhaps you could us what you —— your situation was. yes. the story, perhaps you could us what you -- your situation was.— you -- your situation was. yes, i can use my _ you -- your situation was. yes, i can use my example. _ you -- your situation was. yes, i can use my example. i— you -- your situation was. yes, i can use my example. i was- you -- your situation was. yes, i - can use my example. i was expecting to receive my state pension at 60 years old, and that would have been injune years old, and that would have been in june 2014. years old, and that would have been injune 2014. i got a letter from the department injune 2014. i got a letterfrom the department for work and pensions in march 2012, telling me i wasn't going to receive my state pension until march 2020. so, almost six years later than expected. i was absolutely devastated by that news, i had already given up a full—time

job, i had calculated quite carefully that i could manage on my savings until i was 60 and in receipt of my state pension. my mother was very frail at the time, and i wanted to spend time with her, so by the time i got the letter a year or so later, it was very difficult for me to get back into the workplace. i tried to get work, i could have got caring catering zero—hours contracts, but nothing much more because a 58—year—old woman going on 59 was not very attractive to employers at that time. ,, ., attractive to employers at that time, ,., attractive to employers at that time, y., ., attractive to employers at that time. i. ., .,. attractive to employers at that time. ., ., time. so, you are left facing a fundin: time. so, you are left facing a funding gap. _ time. so, you are left facing a funding gap. if— time. so, you are left facing a funding gap. if i _ time. so, you are left facing a funding gap, if i can _ time. so, you are left facing a funding gap, ifi can use - time. so, you are left facing a funding gap, if i can use thatl funding gap, if i can use that phrase? funding gap, ifi can use that hrase? ., funding gap, ifi can use that hrase? . ., , funding gap, ifi can use that hrase? ., ., , what is phrase? large funding gap. what is our phrase? large funding gap. what is your reaction _ phrase? large funding gap. what is your reaction to _ phrase? large funding gap. what is your reaction to what _ phrase? large funding gap. what is your reaction to what has _ phrase? large funding gap. what is your reaction to what has been - your reaction to what has been happening today? the parliamentary and health service ombudsman say that they have failed to adequately make the changes, saying that there should be compensation for those

our state pension age are changing has been much greater than that. you save for a pension throughout your whole working life, you cannot do it in two years. so, we should have had much, much more notice, and the government know this. a report was made for them in 2014 which decried what they had done to the generation of 1950s women, saying it should never happen again. the government took that report on board, and said: never again will be pile six years onto one cohort of women. i do never again will be pile six years onto one cohort of women. i do want to net onto one cohort of women. i do want to get your — onto one cohort of women. i do want to get your response _ onto one cohort of women. i do want to get your response to _ onto one cohort of women. i do want to get your response to the - to get your response to the statement from consider the ombudsman report and will respond in due course having corroborated fully through the investigations. we are committed to supporting all pensioners in a sustainable way that gives them a dignified retirement whilst also

being fed to them and taxpayers. the state pension is the foundation of income in retirement and will remain so. the government goes on to talk about a further 8.5% rise in april. so, the government is using word sustainable, what is fair to all taxpayers. does it sound like the government is going to give you compensation? do you think that there is now an argument to say that to hand over the sort of sum that the pensioners are looking for would be unsustainable at this point? well, i think be unsustainable at this point? well, ithink it be unsustainable at this point? well, i think it is unsustainable. for the government to treat citizens like we have been treated. if they wanted to give his dignity, why did they not tell us about the state pension age changing as soon as they change the law? they could have given me 15 years' notice of that change to my state pension age, and they chose not to. that choice comes with consequence, and the tones events answers they took the planning for my retirement out of my

hands completely because they didn't tell me when my retirement was going to start. i think that has cost me much, much more than £30,000. it cost me six years wages, six years more input into my future pension, it cost me my savings that i should have been able to use for my retirement to actually get to my retirement.

citizens, and not giving it the opportunity to plan for themselves. anjula, thank you very much for giving us your reaction to what hasn't happening. angela madden, chair of the waspi group. artificial intelligence is playing an increasing role in our daily lives — and now an ai tool it's being used by the nhs in scotland to spot the early signs of breast cancer. the tool, called mia has led to a 12% increase in the diagnosis rate and could reduce the wait for mammogram results from two weeks to just three days. mia analysed the mammograms of over 10,000 women — most of them were cancer—free, but it flagged all of those with symptoms. it successfully identified tiny signs of breast cancer in 11 women which had been missed by human doctors. breast cancer patients with tumours which are smaller than 15mm when discovered have a 90% survival rate over the following five years.

let's speak to dr kevin fong — nhs doctor, professor of innovation and public engagement at ucl and co—host of the bbc podcast, the artificial human. hello, kevin. when i was listening to one of your episodes, i heard you and your co—host talking about health and ai, so i thought: let us get you want to talk about this story. what is your reaction? it is story. what is your reaction? it is treat story. what is your reaction? it is great news. _ story. what is your reaction? it is great news, this _ story. what is your reaction? it is great news, this is _ story. what is your reaction? it 3 great news, this is what we should hope for in the future of the health service in this country, that al is going to hopefully make us better at ourjobs. this particular application, mia, is in the trial stage, it is not yet out there, so it has not been assessed by other scientists. it looks very promising. and when you have been looking at this particular subject of ai and health, how in general have you found the public responding to the

notion of their symptoms being diagnosed by artificial intelligence as opposed to a human? t diagnosed by artificial intelligence as opposed to a human? i am diagnosed by artificial intelligence as opposed to a human?— diagnosed by artificial intelligence as opposed to a human? i am not sure that the general— as opposed to a human? i am not sure that the general public _ as opposed to a human? i am not sure that the general public think _ as opposed to a human? i am not sure that the general public think about - that the general public think about it in those ways, i think they want alice as doctors to be as good at ourjobs alice as doctors to be as good at our jobs as we alice as doctors to be as good at ourjobs as we can be, and what you would hope is that a partnership with technology is going to achieve that. so, ithink with technology is going to achieve that. so, i think that when people are forced to think about whether they want a machine making their decisions are a human, they get a little queasy about that, but most people want the best advice, the best care and service, and hopefully, that is what this office. how much is al being used in health services here in the uk or anywhere around the world at the moment already? it around the world at the moment alread ? , _, , �* around the world at the moment alread ? , , �* already? it is coming, isn't it? it is coming _ already? it is coming, isn't it? it is coming quickly. _ already? it is coming, isn't it? it is coming quickly. this _ already? it is coming, isn't it? it is coming quickly. this is - already? it is coming, isn't it? it is coming quickly. this is going l already? it is coming, isn't it? it| is coming quickly. this is going to be transforming health care as well as the world around us in ways we have trouble imagining right now. it is going to happen quickly. that is

part of what the podcast series that i present is all about, it is about boundary between artificial intelligence and the rest of what we intelligence and the rest of what we in human daily life, and so, i think that it in human daily life, and so, i think thatitis in human daily life, and so, i think that it is coming quickly, it is not there yet for us, but we are actively exploring it across the world and particularly in the nhs. and we are hoping it is going to bring a lot of benefits. that is what technology does. this a bring a lot of benefits. that is what technology does. as a doctor, do ou what technology does. as a doctor, do you embrace — what technology does. as a doctor, do you embrace this, _ what technology does. as a doctor, do you embrace this, and _ what technology does. as a doctor, do you embrace this, and do - what technology does. as a doctor, do you embrace this, and do all- what technology does. as a doctor, do you embrace this, and do all ofl do you embrace this, and do all of your colleagues embrace this? are they bearing do make varying degrees of confidence in what it means for your roles? sham of confidence in what it means for your roles?— of confidence in what it means for your roles? am i worried about my “ob? your roles? am i worried about my job? well. — your roles? am i worried about my job? well. no. _ your roles? am i worried about my job? well. no. i— your roles? am i worried about my job? well, no. ithink— your roles? am i worried about my job? well, no. i think there - your roles? am i worried about my job? well, no. i think there is - job? well, no. i think there is always a risk of overpromising here. ai is not a magic wand, it is not something that in some nebulous way is going to transform everything. it is going to transform everything. it is like every technology, it is neutral, there is a capacity for good at home. it is important we are careful in how we navigate that

today, light and drizzly moving across wales and england, heavy glass and and northern ireland accompanied by gusts of wind, 50—60 mph. cloudy, some brief glimpses of sunshine from time to time, that will have an effect on what we can get from our highest value. 16—17 not out of the question. through the night tonight, and where the front will continue to move southwards, a blanket of cloud holding this temperature is up. clear skies, a few scattered showers further north, 4-5 few scattered showers further north, 4—5 as a morning minimum. we will start off tomorrow bright and breezy with gales or severe gales developing across the far north of scotland and a rash of showers here. early morning rain across the south—east of england will gradually ease away, you can take its time doing so. brighter skies behind, temperatures down a little, 9— whole

degrees. that is the story as we go into the weekend, the milder air squeezing into the near continent, low pressure dominating from the start of the weekend, and the wind direction playing is's part. a blustery day, gusty winds widely, and that will drive in a rash of showers from the north—west. yes, with elevation, there could be some wintry showers as well. if you judge the showers and get some shelter and sunshine, it still will not feel too bad, you can see the wind gusting generally at 30—45 mph. will make you feel fresher than we have seen it late. 9—10 . you feel fresher than we have seen it late. 9-10 . a little bit brighter into sunday, hopefully if you feel fresher than we have seen it late. 9—10 . you feel fresher than we have seen it late. 9-10 . a little bit brighter into sunday, hopefully fewer showers as well. whatever you are doing, have a great weekend.

today at one. the government should apologise and pay compensation to women affected by the increase in the state pension age. an ombudsman says women born in the 1950s are owed money and recommends parliament should ensure they get it. one of us are dying every 13 minutes without justice, without knowing that now parliament have the decision to make good what it actually got wrong. after yea rs of after years of campaigning, it's an outcome that could affect millions of women. the department for work and pensions says it is considering today's report.

also on the programme. affecting saving, lending and mortgages, interest rates are held at 5.25% for the fifth time in a row. the horizon it scandal. the bbc has found that an expert witness was asked by a post office prosecutor to consider changing his testimony. and spotting breast cancer using artificial intelligence. how ai picked up tiny tumours missed by the human eye. and coming up on bbc news, it's a big night for wales. they'll be one win away from euros 2024 if they can beat finland in their play—off semifinal in cardiff. good afternoon and welcome to the bbc news at one. the government should apologise

and pay compensation to women
