four teams have made it to wembley for semi final weekend. but who will make it back in five weeks' time for the chance to lift the fa cup? and the good news is for the vast majority it will be a dry weekend with temperatures varying greatly. it's saturday april 20. our main story: tensions remain high in the middle east despite a night which has seen no further clashes between israel and iran, iranian officials have continued to downplay the significance of an apparent drone attack by israel in the early hours of friday morning, which us officials say were targeting sites including iran's air defence radar system. our north america reporter will vernon has more. it has been just over 24—hour is

since iran came under attack. us officials say israel fired at least one missile into a iranian territory stopnow major damage or casualty were reported. this was a relatively small—scale strike by israel. earlier, the us secretary of state, antony blinken, would not comment on reports that the white house was informed in advance about the israeli assault. the informed in advance about the israeli assault.— informed in advance about the israeli assault. the united states has not been _ israeli assault. the united states has not been involved _ israeli assault. the united states has not been involved in - israeli assault. the united states has not been involved in any - has not been involved in any offensive operations detect what we are focusing on, what the g7 is focused on and again that is reflected in our statement and in our conversation is our work to de—escalate tensions. find our conversation is our work to de-escalate tensions.- our conversation is our work to de-escalate tensions. and this is wh the de-escalate tensions. and this is why the us _ de-escalate tensions. and this is why the us and _ de-escalate tensions. and this is why the us and its _ de-escalate tensions. and this is why the us and its allies - de-escalate tensions. and this is why the us and its allies want. de-escalate tensions. and this is why the us and its allies want to | why the us and its allies want to calm tensions. last sunday iran attacked israel with more than 300 missiles and drones causing little damage. the fear in the west is that a cycle of retaliation between israel and iran could ignite a wider

war. and there is hope as well that the limited nature of the israeli attack will allow the iranians to walk away from any further response. officials in tehran have been downplaying the significance of israel's strike. lahri's president did not even mention it in his speech yesterday. but tensions are running high in the middle east and diplomats will be working hard behind—the—scenes on deescalation. the key question now, what will these two well armed adversaries do next? will vernon, bbc news, washington. it is three minutes past six and now we are concentrating first on a change in deed limit in wales. speed limits always — change in deed limit in wales. speed limits always get _ change in deed limit in wales. speed limits always get people _ change in deed limit in wales. “fir limits always get people talking on some roads in wales will now revert to 30 mph. following a backlash against the welsh government's default policy to reduce speeds to 20mph.

wales' transport minister said the changes would address concerns many people had about the £31“; million project. our wales political correspondent, cemlyn davies reports. this is the clearest the new transport secretary has been about his thoughts on the controversial 20 mile in our policy. earlier this week he spoke about wanting a truly targeted approach with the policy focused on built—up areas. we have schools, parks, hospitals and so on and he said that there would be some changes. we heard a bit more detail from him in an interview he has given to north wales live where he also admits that they have gotten things wrong in the policy. we put our hands up to say the guidance has to be corrected, he said. he also said that he wants communities to play a more active part in deciding what speed limit should be rather

than having speed limit imposed upon them. on the potential timescale, he said he will give more detail on that when he gives a statement to the senedd next tuesday. meanwhile councils have welcomed the comments and said that mr skates has brought and said that mr skates has brought a more pragmatic approach compare to what was previously the case. it is about making _ what was previously the case. it 3 about making sure we have the balance right in that those commuter routes and these streets that are probably caught up by the 20 mile—per—hour criteria at a local level people will say is that actually the right speed for that road? fix. actually the right speed for that road? �* . ., , actually the right speed for that road? ~ , . , actually the right speed for that road? , . ,~ . ,., road? a course, any changes to uuidance road? a course, any changes to guidance will _ road? a course, any changes to guidance will inevitably - road? a course, any changes to guidance will inevitably lead - road? a course, any changes to guidance will inevitably lead to | guidance will inevitably lead to further questions about the way this policy was introduced in the first place. back in september and may well be met my opposition from road safety campaigners who are urging ten skates to hold his nerve and

keep the policy as it is. that was cemlyn davies reporting. lancashire police says it's "reviewing information" about allegations against the suspended conservative mp, mark menzies. mr menzies lost the whip after the times newspaper reported that he had asked a party activist for thousands of pounds, because what he called "bad people" had locked him inside a flat. he told the newspaper he strongly disputed the allegations. the scottish green party has scheduled a meeting to decide whether or not to continue its power—sharing agreement with the snp. it comes a day after the scottish government ditched key targets for cutting greenhouse gas emissions — it's a move which is said to have angered green party colleagues. lawmakers in the united states are due to vote on a long—awaited bill which would grant $61 billion in military aid to ukraine. the legislation has been stalled in congress for months due to resistance by some republicans. it's now expected to pass the first hurdle before being sent to the senate and president biden for approval. police in new york will review security arrangements around

the trial of the former president donald trump after a man set himself on fire outside the court in manhattan. 37—year—old maxwell azzarello remains in a critical condition in hospital. our reporter nada tawfik was there when it happened. journalists here had just learned that jury selection journalists here had just learned thatjury selection had concluded just after 130 in the afternoon when the man, later identified as a former resident in his mid— 30s entered the park. he threw pamphlets in the air, dust himself in lighter fluid and set himself on fire. we can see the belize blaze and feel the heat. later official said he was not targeting any individual or group all the trial. their investigation is ongoing but they believe he was a conspiracy theorist. they say they will be reviewing security protocols around this court house in light of the high—profile nature of this trial and whether in fact to close a park down to the public. nevertheless,

court resumed, it remained on schedule and opening statements in this trial will now begin on monday. donald trump leaving the court today again slammed the case is a hoax, as again slammed the case is a hoax, as a witch hunt. he is charged with falsifying business records to hide a so—called hush money payment to the adult film star make stormy daniels in order to influence the 2016 election to hide a potentially damaging sex scandal. he denies all wrongdoing and the extramarital affairand again, opening wrongdoing and the extramarital affair and again, opening statements will begin on monday. that was nada tawfik reporting. flights into dubai international airport are being restricted because of continuing disruption caused by flooding. more than one year's worth of rain fell in a single day on tuesday. some passengers have complained of chaos and overcrowding at the airport as they tried to leave. our reporter louisa pilbeam has the details.

terminal 3 at dubai airport, days of queues, crowds and cancellations are making people desperate to get out. the passenger who filmed this said he stood for two nights, crammed into the small space. this is where the queue starts. this was taken by a man who said some people passed out and others got into fights. he said he slept on the floorfor 48 hours. every time they cancel a flight you got to queue back up. you can't do it online because they can't transfer your baggage. this woman filmed this footage trying to fly to dublin, she says there has been little information and what she described as no staff. this was the scene earlier in the week. planes are sitting in a sea of floodwater at the world's busiest international airport.

flights in and out are still limited. in a statement on social media, the airport said its teams are working tirelessly to restore normal operations and minimise delays and say passengers' welfare is its top priority. for some the damage is done. two top indian wrestlers missed a mandatory weigh—in for a qualifier at the summer olympics in paris. dubai, qatar and oman have seen unprecedented flooding after the heaviest rain recorded this week. a year's rain fell in one day alone. just look at the damage caused, cars and lorries were left submerged and stranded in countries lacking the infrastructure for these weather conditions. across the gulf states, more than 20 people have died. the rain may now have stopped but trying to get people out of dubai and neighbouring countries will take days and the cleanup here much longer. louisa pilbeam, bbc news.

rowers at oxford university will today name one of their boats �*river action' in honour of a campaign group which aims to hold water companies to account for river pollution. it comes amid concern over high levels of e.coli in the river thames during last month's oxford and cambridge boat races, when one rower fell ill before the race. time for us to have our first chat with matt. that works. good morning to you both and good morning to you all. it will be cold this morning if you are about to step out shortly. frost around for some and a beautiful start to the weekend for the vast majority. sunshine around at least to begin with but we will start to see big contrasts during the day in terms of cloud and temperature. looking at what happens we have high pressure centred over us and out to the west we will have warm air, the light wind to the east

and the keen breeze of the north sea and the keen breeze of the north sea and this is where it will be on the chilly side. in between cloud will build. to begin with the cloud is across the north of scotland other eastern counties of england. lincolnshire and parts of east yorkshire and kent through the day. most especially this morning but the vast majority is dry. around the south—west of scotland and northern ireland, western fringes of wales you are under blue skies for the best part of the day. compared with around 7— 10 celsius along some of the eastern coastal counties. as we go into tonight we will see the cloud increase a bit more and today with patchy light rain and north scotland spreading to eastern scotland spreading to eastern scotland overnight and possibly more cloud around. there is still a chance of a touch of frost in one or two sheltered spots as we go into sunday. it does mean it will be cold on the starting line for those heading off to the london marathon and for those waiting to cheer on.

but are largely dry day is in store. a small chance of one or two light showers in the vast of the day is dry with a few glimpses of sunshine. a bit more sunshine perhaps cross these eastern edges. more cloud in eastern scotland, the finals of england, this is where we are likely to see patchy rain and drizzle but most will stay dry. temperatures at the highest in northern ireland and south—west skye island —— scotland. still these eastern coastal counties will stay chilly. big contrasts this weekend from east to west. and as we go into next week? high pressure is there to begin with but through the night, a cold night into monday across southern areas and cloud starts to topple more widely across the country. it means we will see outbreaks of rain and drizzle from northern england and north wales to begin with that will push its way into southern parts of england and wales as we go through the day. a lot more cloud around in a great chance of a better rain. she doesn't

scotland and northern ireland but sunshine breaking through here and there and it will be around parts of central and southern scotland where we see the highest of the temperatures up to around 16 before eastern and southern parts of england it will be a chilly feeling day after those low—temperature's overnight of cloud and rain moving in as we go through into monday. through next week we will stay with things a little bit chillier than normal for this things a little bit chillier than normalfor this stage in things a little bit chillier than normal for this stage in april. so there will be some dry and bright weather at times, a greater chance of some rain here and there but compared to recent weeks not a huge amount of rain and the emphasis will still be on long dry spells. more throughout the morning. back to you. can you hear something? bird calls do you know what it is? is it a

continuous tone. and then they go into a really fast, so it goes... birdsong. and if you are lucky, you will get this close. birdsong. at this time of year the mail nightingale is singing because it is showing off, it wants to find a mate. and it can be as loud as a motorbike engine when it's doing that. now when it does find a partner, it will quieten down, but will still pipe up every now and then in order to protected territory. then in order to protected territory-— territory. you look at the nightingale, _ territory. you look at the nightingale, they - territory. you look at the nightingale, they don't i territory. you look at the i nightingale, they don't look territory. you look at the - nightingale, they don't look much and the mail looks pretty well identical to the female. so it's not about plumage and showing off in that respect, it is about your vocal gymnastics that you can do. and they do that to an amazing effect. the female on the other side sounds like a small frog really, doesn't make much of a song at all. and it is very rarely seen.—

"now the world waits on iran" — that's the headline in the mirror today. the paper carries an image of crowds in tehran protesting against the latest israeli airstrike. the times reports that the conservatives are looking at cutting stamp duty in the autumn statement this year, in what the paper calls an "aspirational offer" before the next general election.

and the wales daily post website reports — as we have this morning — on the expected reduction in the number of 20—miles—per—hour roads in the country. it says the welsh government's new transport minister has admitted the default 20mph limit has left wales more divided. and always interested in dr michael mosley who writes on health issues in the daily mail. you may be interested to hear this. i in the daily mail. you may be interested to hear this.- in the daily mail. you may be interested to hear this. i am always interested to hear this. i am always interested in _ interested to hear this. i am always interested in what _ interested to hear this. i am always interested in what you _ interested to hear this. i am always interested in what you have - interested to hear this. i am always interested in what you have to - interested to hear this. i am always interested in what you have to say. | interested in what you have to say. ok. there are 6 million people who live in finland, how many saunas do you think there are? are 6 million people. you think there are? are 6 million ”eole. i1 i1 i you think there are? are 6 million peeple-- 0ne _ you think there are? are 6 million peeple-- one per— you think there are? are 6 million people. 5000. one per household? we've not people. 5000. one per household? we've got to _ people. 5000. one per household? we've got to get — people. 5000. one per household? we've got to get on _ people. 5000. one per household? we've got to get on with _ people. 5000. one per household? we've got to get on with this. - people. 522: one per household? we've got to get on with this. there is a population of 6 million, there are 3 million saunas. one for every two people, dr michael mosley has been looking into this. thea;e

cup final, which they lost to liverpool. and with their season not exactly going to plan — they're ninth in the premier league — the fa cup is their final chance to win a trophy. they have the benefit of playing a team that had a long night on wednesday. we know very well when you play all 120 minutes in the champions league, it is massive and emotional, it is not easy to recover after you are to lose, the possibility to go to a semi—final, of course it is going to be tough for them, but we need to remember that we have an unbelievable squad. it's also scottish cup semifinal weekend. rangers against hearts is tomorrow but premiership leaders celtic get things going at hampden park against aberdeen this afternoon. celtic have the stats on their side — they've lifted this trophy no less than a1 times. they haven't lost to aberdeen in nearly six years, and their manager has a 100% win rate in the scottish cup. it all sounds a bit intimidating if you're an aberdeen player.

i think what is needed is a lot of courage, a lot of courage because you know if you are going to set off celtic the whole game, they will hurt you, they move the ball so quick at times and yeah, we need to try and be aggressive and be accountable and at the same time, show our courage because i think thatis show our courage because i think that is when we play to our strength and that will be important for us. former wales international leightonjames has died at the age of 71. he scored the goal that gave wales their only victory over england at wembley in 1977, with a former teammatejohn toshack describing him as "one of the very best wingers british football has ever seen". james was capped 5a times by his country, scoring ten goals. two of his former clubs, burnley and swansea, will wear black armbands in their matches today. after his playing career, james managed several non—league clubs, before becoming a radio pundit and newspaper columnist. in his later years, he worked as a lollipop man at a school in swansea, his home town.

the chinese grand prix is back in shangai after a five—year absence and max verstappen denied lewis hamilton the first sprint win of his career. hamilton started second but quicky beat pole—sitter lando norris off the line — however verstappen, who started fourth, ended hamilton's dream of a first win of any kind since 2021 when he blasted past the mercedes driver on the ninth lap. verstappen crossed the line 13 seconds clear of hamilton with sergio perez taking third. hamilton's second place was by far his best result of a season that has started in a difficult fashion for a mercedes team struggling with their new car. around 50,000 fans are expected at twickenham as england continute their quest for another women's six nations grand slam. they play ireland before scotland travel to italy. wales host france on sunday. england have won three out of three so far with a bonus point in each victory. last time out they thrashed scotland a6—0. and marlie packer returns as england captain for their game this afternoon.

we have been professed —— impressed with our performances at times, we have had a few soft areas, it is something we have worked on in training and there is nothing like playing at twickenham in front of 50,000 in the girls are really looking forward to it. we had a team run now we are really slick out there so we are ready to on saturday. there have been encouraging signs that emma raducanu could be returning to form, after long struggles with injury. but her run at the stuttgart open is over, ended by iga swiatek at the quarterfinal stage. it was a true contest between the world numbers one and 303, though — it was far closer than the straight—sets scoreline suggests. she is one of those athletes whose form is forensically studied more than any other so it is nice to see that it was genuinely a competitive game. once you may have eventually won. ., , ., ., game. once you may have eventually won. . , . . ., ,

this week, lara looks at the elemental solution to cleaning up carbon emissions from aircraft. we travel to the remote faroe islands to look at the latest ways to harness tidal energy. it's sort of like kitesurfing, but on the water. if it moves, it's a controller — paul's en route towards more accessible games. if ijust raise my eyebrows, i'm making the carjump. and we look at how generative technology could revolutionise the moviegoing experience. it can make approximately 52 quintillion versions of the film. about 100,000 flights jet around the world every day. flying accounts for 2.5% of all carbon emissions. now, that might not sound like much,

but if aviation was a country, it would be among the top ten most polluting nations in the world, and its impact is expected to rise. now there's a global race to get clean aviation off the ground. and some companies think they're close to cracking it. pretty soon, passengers will be flying in zero—emission aircraft. but how did we get here? archive: the new machine is called, optimistically, the flyer. _ we've come a long way since the wright brothers' first flight in 1903. that day, they lifted the world into a new dimension. then we achieved bigger, faster planes. great, but that's also how we ended up with all these emissions. jet engines burn kerosene, which releases carbon dioxide,

one of the main greenhouse gases causing climate change. the industry faces an enormous challenge to clean up its act, and that means coming up with new fuels. let's take a look at some of the options. there are biofuels, which are made out of things like plants or vegetable oils, but they still produce some harmful emissions. then there's electric. but although batteries are getting far more efficient, the size that you'd need to power a passengerjet would be way too heavy. and there's one potential solution that's getting people really excited — hydrogen. hydrogen fuel cells combine hydrogen and oxygen to create a flow of electrons around a circuit to power a motor. and as we all know, hydrogen plus oxygen equals h20. the problem is... we can't do much about the fundamental properties of hydrogen. volumetrically, we need to compress it to get sort of in the ballpark of not quite a third of the efficiency of fuels that we use.

that means that we need often very large, very heavy tanks, because they need very thick walls to deal with the incredibly high pressures we need them at. what you end up with is an aeroplane that can't have any passengers in. this is the challenge faced by zeroavia, one of several companies working to make hydrogen—powered flight a reality. they retrofit existing planes with hydrogen engines. the company had several successful test flights with this plane last year. in the original frame, we would be able to fly about 19 passengers. it looks like a lot of kit in there. how would you fit in 19 people? yeah, so in the retrofitted configuration, it will be about a dozen people. daniela is one of the engineers working on the engine. actually, the fuel cells are this one. the power is created in these small layers.

so you have to build up your layers to create the power to take off an aircraft. this engine could almost provide enough power to get you from london to glasgow, but not quite. if you wanted to scale it up for international flights, would you just make the same thing bigger or is it a totally different exercise? it is scalable until a certain power, but then we'll have to change technology. getting this high power density system that will allow to have a lot of power but minimal weight to be integrated on an aircraft is really a challenge. and that probably means completely redesigning the plane. everything will be shrunk. some parts of the engine, of the fuel cell, will be sitting inside of the nacelle, and also the storage tank, which is, uh, going to be probably the largest, uh, you know, piece of equipment they will actually bring outside, 0k? right. so either on the side of the fuselage, or we will hang it on the wing.

making everything fit isn't the only challenge, though. you need to have the maintenance and repair organisation. the whole process needs to be certified. we need to provide the hydrogen infrastructure to the, uh, to the aircraft. zeroavia has a plan for that. in its vision, hydrogen would be produced on site at airports using renewable energy before being processed and transported out to the plane. but what about the cost of all this? at the moment, liquid hydrogen is significantly more expensive than conventionaljet fuel, but backers of hydrogen planes believe it will eventually become cheaper than traditional flight. zeroavia isn't the only company racing to reimagine air travel, though. aerospace giants like airbus and boeing are also developing hydrogen planes. but there are still questions over how sustainable they'll actually be.

we're going to be using some fairly exotic materials that are very energy intensive to arrive at. what energy are you using to build the fuel cell? what materials are you using? how much energy are we sinking into this technology to get something out? zeroavia has the backing of the uk government and big investors and has over 2,000 pre—orders from airlines. so there seems to be significant belief in hydrogen despite all of the challenges. but what i really want to know is... are we going to be able to jet off to spain anytime soon in a hydrogen plane? history shows that you need to start small and grow big. and that growth would take a while. but if this could be scaled to the largest of planes, then the difference to emissions would be jumbo. you know, it sounds like, if they can get it right, hydrogen planes could be a massive deal. yeah.

it's as much about the infrastructure, though. they've got a lot to do. right, ok, noted. ok, we're going from the air to the sea now. you might not think of the world's oceans as a great source of green energy, but when you think about it, the tides move an enormous amount of water around the globe every single day, and we are discovering new ways to harness this tidal power. and adrienne murray has been to the remote faroe islands, which are between scotland and norway, to see what they're doing to help harness renewable energy. rugged and remote, the faroe islands are an isolated archipelago found in the north atlantic. powerful currents flow around its 18 islands, and in this sea channel called the vestmannasund, mechanical creatures lurk beneath the water's surface, called dragons. designed by swedish marine energy firm minesto, it's among a wave of

new technology that hopes to revolutionise tidal power. this huge yellow thing behind me is a tidal kite. it looks a bit like a glider because it's designed to fly through the water, and once it's installed on the seabed, it will be generating electricity using the current that flows through this stretch of water. weighing 28 tonnes and with a 12—metre wingspan, the newest dragon can deliver 1.2 megawatts of power. it's sort of like kitesurfing, but underwater. so we tether it off to the sea floor, foundation on the sea floor, and then it flies in a figure of eight. as underwater currents flow by, the kite's wings generate a hydrodynamic lift force, spinning the turbine and generating electricity. this design's very different to other types of tidal technology. so what's the advantage of a design like this one? we can install and operate

and produce power in low flow currents with lightweight machines. although it looks big to the eye, this is actually a very small tidal turbine. we've designed the system as such to be maintenance friendly — you simplyjust tow them in, replace modules and then put them back in. we've also, over the years, removed more and more components from the system and fit them onshore instead. the less old components you have that could become damaged, it's easier to access it and it's much cheaper also. it's the gravitational pull of the moon, and to some extent the sun, which gives the tides their rhythm. and unlike wind, solar or hydro, tidal power isn't reliant on weather. while tidal barrages have been around for decades, their cost and the ecological impact has been a barrier. now, from the scottish islands through to canada, a new generation of tech firms have introduced tidal stream turbines.

ocean energy is still largely untapped, so what are the barriers that have prevented it from taking off? it's a relatively small and new industry, so very few machines in the water, and then you have to compete with wind farms and solar pv, etc. we're now addressing a resource that's so much larger, so we're opening up a market that didn't even exist before. if all goes to plan, there could be arrays of subsea kites around the faroe islands, installed in groups similar to wind farms. so this machine here, that's the first utility, or the array device. there will be many of these in parks, orarrays, as you call them, uh, around the world. the faroes aren't connected to any other country's power grid, so it has to be self—sufficient. and in the past, it relied heavily on oil imports. now, though, it's going fully green, and this battery station helps to regulate electricity supply.

we have the biggest battery, i think, in the danish kingdom. we don't have any subsea cables to neighbouring countries. so we need to maintain the stability of the power system at all points in time on a millisecond level. much of the country's power will come from wind, hydro and solar, but that's also where its experiment with tidal energy comes in. it's predictable. we know exactly when it's there, 100 years ahead. if we install tidal turbines in different spots, we will have a baseload generation from tides, and that is extremely valuable. if we can unlock the potential, it can really dramatically change the energy mix in the islands. maybe 30 to a0% of the annual usage in the islands could be provided by tides. now this dragon has begun to fly, and it's sending energy to the grid. it's just one machine, but potentially a big leap forward for harnessing energy from our seas.

now time for a look at the week's tech news. tesla have announced it will lay off 10% of its global workforce. the cuts are the largest round yet to affect the firm's estimated 1a0,000 employees. the layoffs come weeks after tesla revealed it had delivered fewer vehicles than expected last quarter. nasa has confirmed a piece of space junk that damaged a man's home came from the international space station. it from the international space station. ., , ., from the international space station. . ., , station. it was a tremendous sound, it almost hit — station. it was a tremendous sound, it almost hit my _ station. it was a tremendous sound, it almost hit my son. _ station. it was a tremendous sound, it almost hit my son. i _ station. it was a tremendous sound, it almost hit my son. i was - station. it was a tremendous sound, it almost hit my son. i was shaking, | it almost hit my son. i was shaking, i was in disbelief, what other chances of something landing on my house? . . .y house? nasa said the metal cylinder was a fragment _ house? nasa said the metal cylinder was a fragment of _ house? nasa said the metal cylinder was a fragment of discarded - house? nasa said the metal cylinder was a fragment of discarded from i house? nasa said the metal cylinder| was a fragment of discarded from the space station. thankfully it wasn't from the louvre. the uk government is set to make the act of creating a

developed over four years by over 200 students at university college london, motioninput allows anyone to control their computers using any part of their body they can move. this could be by moving the eyes, individual limbs or body parts, or even by gestures, facial movements, or speech... page down. ..giving a raft of potential new input methods to disabled people. crucially, motioninput doesn't need any additional specialised equipment. our work with the motioninput software was developed in partnership with intel, and it's focused on a! for your pc, so it runs completely on your own laptops and pcs. it has its own engine internally to do the evaluation of how people can be seen to be moving, and it uses just the webcam.

the ucl students have been working with the richard cloudesley pupils to help identify potential bugs or development issues with the software. you ready? so do the calibration again. safiya is using the eye gaze application to play different types of games using eye movements. you're a better driver than i am. afterwards, i asked her what she thought. so what's it like, playing games this way with this new software? speaking software: it is good. it helps me to focus. _ and is it easy to use? yes, it is easy. it helps me experience every action of the game. and is it better than playing other ways you might have done before? yes. i've only tried the nintendo wii. this new controller helps me play better. that's the young ones suitably impressed. over at ucl, the students working on different elements of motion input were keen for someone slightly

less youthful to have a go and see how it works using bodypoint. first up, everyone's favourite block—builder and basher, minecraft. so i'm just moving around here in minecraft by using my right arm as a mouse and my left arm... it's kind of like a joystick. i think i've cracked it now. oh, it's so cool. go on this look button so you can look around. i was also able to play minecraft using eye tracking. this is amazing. i'm literally using my eyes and my head... ..to look around. the cow, agh! you can attack the cow. oh, i don't want to attack the cows. laughter so this is basically like a steering wheel. as well as minecraft, i was able to take rocket league for a spin. the gestures are really cool. i like that a lot. so if ijust raise my eyebrows...

..i'm making the carjump. the accessibility elements of motioninput are all available to download for free on the microsoft store. the future aim is to commercialise the non—accessibility applications of the software into industries such as manufacturing or healthcare. but in the short term, it's all about the games. now, many of us have a movie that we just love, that we'll watch time and time again and could recite loads of the lines from. ghost? yep. star wars? obviously. well, how about if the next time you press play, it had the same people in it, it was about the same topic, but there was a different storyline, different dialogue and different music? would it be the same movie? well, there is a new "generative" documentary about the musician brian eno that does just that, and ben derico has the story. applause inside theatre hey.

that version of the film was just for you. that will never be seen again anywhere else in any other time. this is documentary filmmaker gary hustwit. if you didn't catch that, he just said that his new film about brian eno, the one we all just watched, will never be seen again. it's not an error with the file or a mix—up in the screening. this is the intended result. that's because this film is being billed as a generative documentary, a movie that, with the help of generative software, can rewrite itself before every screening. like, we're so locked into this concept of, film and television always has to be the same. it's linear, it's static, it never changes. that's a technical constraint that's from 130 years ago. we don't have those constraints with digital technology any more, so why are we still sticking with them? when you create something, you're doing this thing that humans are very good at, which is imagining.

for the uninitiated, brian eno is a bit of a legend, notjust for the music he's created — he's produced acts like u2 and david bowie — but for his philosophy, his ideas about creativity and how art can be made, particularly with the help of generative technology. a lot of the ways that brian creates music and art are also reflected in the way we created the film, because we're not making a normal documentary where we craft each scene and, you know, time it out. we're creating kind of a structure in software that will create our film. you can think of it like this. up here, we have a pool of pre—cut scenes, hundreds of hours of never before seen archival footage and exclusive interviews with eno. down here, we have an empty structure looking for pieces to fill up the slots. some parts of the film are always the same. pieces here are pinned in place, but for the rest, the software makes selections, slots them into place based on instructions

from the filmmakers, and edits together a new film that it will never generate again. it can make approximately 52 quintillion versions of the film, which is 52 with 19 zeroes after it. brendan dawes is a generative artist himself and the developer of the film's bespoke generative software. the way to think of it is kind of like a collaborator. i give it some direction, but then it's like, "actually, "i've done this," and i go, "wow, ok, "let's go down that path and that route." i'm specifically looking to be surprised, surprised and delighted. i'm pleased if people are more confused than they were before, because i think the biggest problem is trying to deal with what i call the appetite for certainty. i think we normally want to have control as filmmakers of every second, so there's a little bit of surrendering that control. but the result is things that i never would have thought to connect myself.

when i see it when our generative system does it, you know, it's like, "oh, my gosh, "i didn't even think about that connection." that could be making unusual story choices, likejumping around out of chronological order, orjuxtaposing two seemingly unrelated scenes. those choices can lead to wildly different versions of what is supposedly the same film. for example, gary says the audience reaction to the project, which premiered at this year's sundance film festival, was different every night. the mood shifted based on the choices the algorithm made. like, the first time that the film screened here at sundance, i felt it was, like, very energetic, and there were lots of laughs. but then the second time, it was more introspective and more personal. um, itjust depends on the scenes that end up getting chosen that night. and you can see those choices happening as you're watching the film. there's text that displays on screen showing the algorithm at work. these sorts of moments can make it

easy to chalk this whole thing up to technology, a magic algorithm that somehow creates cinema out of thin air. but the algorithm only succeeds in creating moments of serendipity because of the work of human filmmakers who have worked filming, editing and mixing the material before feeding it into the software. it's notjust about the tech, um, it is about the filmmaking craft, and we're using it as a tool to kind of extend what we could do. the system is trained by our intelligence as filmmakers, not some artificial intelligence. a film like this gives us an opportunity to think about what cinema actually is, and where new technology fits into the process of how we make movies. for me, i enjoyed the version of the film i saw. it had all the hallmarks of a good music documentary, although the story did seem to meander a bit from time to time. but for the man the film is about, he's happy with that ambiguity. eno spoke to the audience at sundance from his home in the uk over the theatre's speakers.

hustwit and his crew seem to be betting on this idea. in march, he and brendan launched anamorph, a generative film company that will aim to create more films like this one. it's an idea, and there are other people who are going to have other ideas about how to use this tool that we've created, so we're super—excited to kind of keep collaborating and keep doing new projects and see what the possibilities are. i interviewed brian eno once. he was brilliant, as much a scientist as an artist, with a terrifyingly big brain. just like you. bigger. that's all we've got time for. yeah, thanks for watching. we'll see you soon. bye!

good morning. welcome to breakfast with naga munchetty and charlie stayt. our headlines today: tensions remain high between israel and iran — but there's been no new military action in the region overnight.

a change to the 20mph limit in wales as the controversial initiative is scrapped on some roads. with just 2a hours to go until the london marathon — we hear the inspiring stories behind some of this yea r�*s unusual costumes. four teams have made it to wembley for semi final weekend. but who will make it back in five weeks' time for the chance to lift the fa cup? and we are here at the brand—new co-ou _ and we are here at the brand—new co-ou live — and we are here at the brand—new co-ou live in— and we are here at the brand—new co—op live in manchester did it the biggest _ co—op live in manchester did it the biggest indoor arena in the whole of the uk _ biggest indoor arena in the whole of the uk. 23.5 thousand people can fit in here _ the uk. 23.5 thousand people can fit in here over— the uk. 23.5 thousand people can fit in here overthe the uk. 23.5 thousand people can fit in here over the next few months there _ in here over the next few months there are — in here over the next few months there are gigs from the eagles, stevie — there are gigs from the eagles, stevie nicks and the killers and we have a _ stevie nicks and the killers and we have a behind—the—scenes tour. and have a behind-the-scenes tour. and the tood have a behind-the-scenes tour. and the good news _ have a behind—the—scenes tour. fific the good news is for have a behind—the—scenes tour. a"ic the good news is for the vast majority we will have a dry weekend but temperatures will vary greatly. more details later on breakfast.

it's saturday april 20. our main story. tensions remain high in the middle east despite a night which has seen no further clashes between israel and iran. iranian officials have continued to downplay the significance of an apparent drone attack by israel in the early hours of friday morning, which us officials say were targeting sites including iran's air defence radar system. our north america reporter will vernon has more. it has been just over 2a hours since iran came under attack. us officials say israel fired at least one missile into a iranian territory. no major damage or casualty were reported. this was a relatively small—scale strike by israel. earlier, the us secretary of state, antony blinken, would not comment on reports that the white house was informed in advance about the israeli assault. the united states has not been involved in any offensive operations. what we are focusing on,

what the g7 is focused on and again that is reflected in our statement and in our conversation is our work to de—escalate tensions. and this is why the us and its allies want to calm tensions. last sunday, iran attacked israel with more than 300 missiles and drones causing little damage. the fear in the west is that a cycle of retaliation between israel and iran could ignite a wider war. and there is hope as well that the limited nature of the israeli attack will allow the iranians to walk away from any further response. officials in tehran have been downplaying the significance of israel's strike. iran's president did not even mention it in his speech yesterday. but tensions are running high in the middle east and diplomats will be working hard behind—the—scenes on deescalation. the key question now, what will these two well armed

adversaries do next? will vernon, bbc news, washington. our correspondent, wyre davies, joins us from jerusalem. that is the question everyone is asking. where does this go? good morning. there is a sense of relief in the wider region at what could have been an escalation of the conflict between israel and iran has seemed to have dissipated. the promised israeli response that we saw referring to their was very limited in its extent to such an extent that the iranians were able to allude to it without mentioning israel was responsible. there's been no official response from the israeli government itself and for the time being it looks like that side of things that things have calmed down. perhaps redline has been drawn under the although iran's allies in the region do still have

the capacity to attack israeli positions and we have seen the houthis from yemen do the same. so there is still tension and threats between israel and iran. what is happening overnight is that more than six months long war in gaza is intensifying. israel made it clear that it will launch a full—scale military operation in the southern city of rafah. the americans and the british are trying to warn israel against that. i don't think it will happen in the next few days because we have thejewish passover holiday starting on the weekend but there are strikes in rafah overnight with airstrikes in central gaza overnight and civilian casualties according to the hamas run health ministry. thank ou ve the hamas run health ministry. thank you very much- _ time now is 7:05. the issue of speed limits in built—up areas is one we speak about a lot and that is the focus for you this morning.

some roads in wales will revert to 30mph following a backlash against the welsh government's default policy to reduce speeds to 20mph. wales' transport minister said the changes would address concerns many people had about the £3a.a million project. our wales political correspondent, cemlyn davies reports. this is the clearest the new transport secretary, ken skates, has been about his thoughts on the controversial 20mph policy. earlier this week he spoke about wanting a truly targeted approach with the policy focused on built—up areas. where you have schools, parks, hospitals and so on and he said that there would be some changes. we heard a bit more detailfrom him in an interview he has given to north wales live where he also admits that they have gotten things wrong in the policy. "we put our hands up to say the guidance has to be corrected," he said. he also said that he wants communities to play a more active part in deciding

what speed limit should be rather than having speed limits imposed upon them. on the potential timescale, he said he will give more detail on that when he gives a statement to the senedd next tuesday. meanwhile councils have welcomed the comments and said that mr skates has brought a more pragmatic approach compare to what was previously the case. it is about making sure we have the balance right and that those commuter routes and these streets that are probably caught up by the 20 mile—per—hour criteria at a local level people will say is that actually the right speed for that road? of course, any changes to guidance will inevitably lead to further questions about the way this policy was introduced in the first place back in september and may well be met by opposition from road safety campaigners who are urging ken skates to hold his nerve and keep the policy as it is.

that was cemlyn davies reporting. 37 man set himself on fire in a —— outside a court in new york. he was taken to hospital in a critical condition. lancashire police says it's "reviewing information" about allegations against the suspended conservative mp, mark menzies. mr menzies lost the whip after the times newspaper reported that he had asked a party activist for thousands of pounds, to pay what he described as "bad people" who had locked him inside a flat. he told the newspaper he strongly disputed the allegations. the scottish green party has scheduled a meeting to decide whether or not to continue

its power—sharing agreement with the snp. it comes a day after the scottish government ditched key targets for cutting greenhouse gas emissions. it's a move which is said to have angered green party colleagues. the metropolitan police has apologised after an officer told an antisemitism charity leader that he looked "openlyjewish." gideon falter was stopped near a pro—palestinian march in london and told his presence was causing a breach of the peace. their initial response was criticised for suggesting the presence of counter protestors could be seen as provocative. flights into dubai international airport are being restricted because of continuing disruption caused by flooding. more than one year's worth of rain fell in a single day on tuesday. some passengers have complained of chaos and overcrowding at the airport as they tried to leave. our reporter louisa pilbeam has the details. terminal 3 at dubai airport — days of queues, crowds and cancellations are making people

desperate to get out. the passenger who filmed this said he stood for two nights, crammed into the small space. this is where the queue starts. this was taken by a man who said some people passed out and others got into fights. he said he slept on the floorfor a8 hours. every time they cancel a flight you got to queue back up. you can't do it online because they can't transfer your baggage. this is just this isjust a joke! this woman filmed this footage trying to fly to dublin, she says there has been little information and what she described as no staff. this was the scene earlier in the week. planes are sitting in a sea of floodwater at the world's busiest international airport. flights in and out are still limited. in a statement on social media, the airport said its teams are working tirelessly to restore normal operations and minimise delays and say passengers' welfare

is its top priority. for some the damage is done. two top indian wrestlers missed a mandatory weigh—in for a qualifier at the summer olympics in paris. dubai, qatar and oman have seen unprecedented flooding after the heaviest rain recorded this week. a year's rain fell in one day alone. just look at the damage caused, cars and lorries were left submerged and stranded in countries lacking the infrastructure for these weather conditions. across the gulf states, more than 20 people have died. the rain may now have stopped but trying to get people out of dubai and neighbouring countries will take days and the cleanup here much longer. louisa pilbeam, bbc news. time is now 11 minutes past seven.

a chessmaster has broken the record for the longest marathon of the game ever played. tunde onakoya, who is from nigeria, has played for 58 consecutive hours in new york's times square. he is trying to raise $1 million for charity to support chess education for children — and was cheered on by supporters from the city's nigerian community. it isa it is a real thing in times square when you see people play but for 58 hours?! i wonder how many he won. it is extraordinary but the money is going to a good cause. now are you enjoying the brighter mornings? here is how it is outside our studios. that does not look real does it? it almost looks like a half painting, a photograph. so still. and witnessing that first hand could also —— almost be a june morning. i that first hand could also —— almost be ajune morning. i know that first hand could also —— almost be a june morning. i know the

temperatures are not there but, look! i think the reason you are surprised is because blue skies are not a cloud either. and that is the case for many this morning. a beautiful start for the vast majority but look at this shot from the east coast. mablethorpe on the lincolnshire coast. but ijust want to draw your attention, the grass here is getting a good breeze blowing on it at the moment in the cloud you can see a shower offshore at the moment. eastern coastal counties of england and scotland where it is a slightly different feel to think compared to the west. there will be contrasts around even though many will be dry today down the eastern coast to have cooler air and stronger wind on the eastern side of the high pressure. on the west the wind is light around the atmosphere is a little bit warmer and it will feel very pleasant as we go through into the afternoon. so the contrasts being played out today, most start dry bright and reasonably sunny with a bit of frost in places in the cloud will gradually build up across central

and eastern england into eastern parts of well later and also across and southern scotland. these western areas have sunny spells, some staying under blue skies throughout so temperatures here 13— 15 degrees is possible compared to along the eastern coast where all remained chilly all day long at around 7— 10 celsius. the cloud. pollen from rising too much as tree pollen but with blue sky in the south—west we will see them reach high levels for you this afternoon so if you are sneezing that could be why. some cloud that builds up for today will disappear tonight and be across northern and eastern scotland and down through this strip of central england and the cloud could thicken up england and the cloud could thicken up for light drizzle. it means it could be quite cool. and especially in the west a touch of frost for one or two. a lovely start across western areas again with cloud a little more broken towards the south and east. still breeze but not too hot for marathon runners tomorrow.

eastern scotland will start damp and may be across a few other areas and chance of rain and drizzle and for some it will be quite as warm today across those areas but south—west scotland and northern ireland, 15— 18 degrees for sunday afternoon. the highest of the temperatures in the best of the sunny weather will be there on sunday. colder still down some of the eastern coasts. perhaps picking up a little bit towards parts of the south—east given we seal more sunshine compared to this afternoon. going through into the night a chilly night for some parts of england and wales within the cloud in the north will still southwards as we go through into monday. as we go to the start of next week a lot more cloud around. outbreaks of rain to begin with the northern england and north wales, spreading its way southwards. light and patchy through the afternoon but looking for a great cold damp afternoon across southern and eastern areas and in the north and west the cloud will break at times allowing sunshine and a bit of shelter across parts of central

scotland where we could get up to 17 degrees and still feeling chilly along the eastern coasts. the week ahead looks a little on the cooler side and while there will be some showers around, certainly compared to what we have had over recent weeks it will not be quite as wet as it has been. thank you for covering the weather for the marathon, that is what we have been talking about. you really don't wanted to be too windy, that's the issue. ., , ., , tens of thousands of runners are preparing for the big day tomorrow — the london marathon — which could be the biggest ever. the elite race will, as always, be hotly contested — but the costumes being worn in the mass participation event promise to be just as attention—grabbing. of course, behind each of those costumes is a story as breakfast�*s jayne mccubbin has been finding out. it is almost here — runners are getting ready. there isjust 2a

with sergio perez taking third. hamilton's second place was by far his best result of a season that has started in a difficult fashion for a mercedes team struggling with their new car. there have been encouraging signs that emma raducanu could be returning to form, after long struggles with injury, but her run at the stuttgart open is over — ended by iga swiatek at the quarter—final stage. it was a true contest between the world numbers one and 303 though — it was far closer than the straight sets scoreline suggests. catalans dragons have the chance to regain top spot in super league later today. st helens supplanted them after thrashing hull fc by 58 points to nil last night. they ran in ten tries with two for waqa blake. hull remain one off the bottom. saints now lead a really tight table on points difference from wigan and catalans.

it's pretty tight at the top of another super league too. netball�*s version has a two—way fight developing and an incredible performance from mary cholhok helped her team stay in the hunt. she scored all but three points for defending champions loughborough lightning, who beat saracens mavericks 68—60. that was their ninth win in 10 games so far this season. they're still second in the table, only goal difference separating them and manchester thunder, who beat severn stars. the world snooker championship starts in sheffield today amid uncertainty at the event's future at the crucible theatre. the arena has been the home of the tournament since 1977 and has seen some iconic moments. but barry hearn, who is the president of the sport's promoters matchroom, admits there's growing pressure to move to a bigger venue. hearn has been behind many of the biggest changes in british sport over the past fifty years and still has plenty of opinions about the future as he told our reporter patrick gearey.

barry hearn. for 50 years a cheerleader, ringmaster and dealmaker. the hyper man who made the dish sport loose and it's time. a showbiz sporting empire run from a country house in essex alongside his son, airing competitor, eddie. i beat him in snooker he beat me on boxing. obe is, he has 3 million instagram followers.— boxing. obe is, he has 3 million instagram followers. snooker is a hue art instagram followers. snooker is a huge part and _ instagram followers. snooker is a huge part and a — instagram followers. snooker is a huge part and a chance _ instagram followers. snooker is a huge part and a chance meeting l instagram followers. snooker is a i huge part and a chance meeting with steve davis, bashful prodigy who in 1981 reached the final of the world championships. i 1981 reached the final of the world championships-— 1981 reached the final of the world championships. i realise this was a life changing _ championships. i realise this was a life changing moment _ championships. i realise this was a life changing moment for - championships. i realise this was a life changing moment for me i championships. i realise this was a life changing moment for me and l championships. i realise this was a l life changing moment for me and my family. i put my pink and then the next thing i know i am running across the floor. i don't know how he stood up. . looking back on it it

was the changing part of my whole life and the debt that i owe snooker and steve could not be measured. those memories were made in a place that has become snooker�*s heart. today, the crucible theatre in sheffield hosts the world championships for the 48th time. it holds less than 1000 people and it still runs out in three years. there is interest from abroad so a decision looms. heart versus head. maybe generation versus generation. we have a lot of discussions over sunday lunch. the crucible are special to me, personally. sunday lunch. the crucible are specialto me, personally. my sunday lunch. the crucible are special to me, personally. my son understands that but it is... you do not make someone a chairman and then make the decisions. my opinion is we should stay. we live in a world of huge site fees particularly coming from the middle east, maybe china. which would dwarf the total income and put it in another stratosphere.

de hearn's have never been tied by tradition. darts was barry's blank canvas. helping to turn the sport from this to this. he regards as his most spectacular success. is there anything snooker could learn from darts? is there anything you perhaps wanted to do was snooker that you could not? the wanted to do was snooker that you could not? ., ., could not? the involvement of -la ers could not? the involvement of players going _ could not? the involvement of players going the _ could not? the involvement of players going the extra - could not? the involvement of players going the extra mile, | could not? the involvement of. players going the extra mile, i'm not going to say snooker players are bad but they could be better. darts players would go anywhere for a press conference, for an interview. the explosion of that sport globally is unheard of, unheralded. but then they also have to add that little bit of magic to it, don't you? it is almost wwe. i used to say the coronation street with balls. it is a little bit w wa on the film. but

recurrin: a little bit w wa on the film. but recurring characters, in ronnie sullivan they have a genius and yet the sport lacks a young prodigy to do what17—year—old luke littler has done for darts. it is do what 17-year-old luke littler has done for darts.— done for darts. it is quite scary to look at it and, _ done for darts. it is quite scary to look at it and, also, _ done for darts. it is quite scary to look at it and, also, an _ look at it and, also, an unbelievable achievement by the players from the class of 92. the last major was a championship. it was in the final? mark williams against ronnie o'sullivan. they are both coming up to 50 years old. but you cannot say they were not there on merit. they are the best players in the world. they took darts into —— luke littler took darts into the mainstream which means tv rights and sponsorship is worth more. prize money goes up if money comes in. can we get that for snooker? why not? provided we can invest enough in the grassroots, bring on the next level and we mustn't live in a goldfish bowl. they

barry has never been constrained by geography or modesty. he is officially, nominally retired but as it is prudent in snooker in particular, he is still looking for the next angle. at ten o'clock this morning and across the bbc for the next two and across the bbc for the next two and a bit weeks. irate across the bbc for the next two and a bit weeks-— a bit weeks. we do get some great characters in _ a bit weeks. we do get some great characters in snooker, _ a bit weeks. we do get some great characters in snooker, don't i a bit weeks. we do get some great characters in snooker, don't you. i characters in snooker, don't you. we'll be back with the headlines at eight o'clock. time now for newswatch. the challenge of fake videos in the middle east's propaganda war. welcome to newswatch with me, samira ahmed. coming up, how did the bbc go about verifying the footage posted online last weekend after iran's attack on israel? so your book, ten years to save the west...? and was bbc news right to grant

a long interview to liz truss in the week she published a book? iran's attack on israel last weekend heightened tensions at what was already a very volatile moment in the middle east, made even more volatile since by israel's response on friday. no surprise that the conflict dominated bbc news coverage on sunday. last night, for a few hours, israel lived in its skies. fighterjets battling waves of iranian drones and missiles fired at israeli targets. in iran, the launches were celebrated, one after the other, on national television. in the hours and days that followed, the attacks prompted plenty of commentary, analysis and interviews across bbc outlets. the latter included this question put on monday's today programme by presenter nick robinson

to foreign secretary lord cameron. isn't the real risk of where we are now that western governments appear to back israel the moment that israel is under attack, but when israel attacks and murders tens of thousands of innocent palestinians, we say the words, but we do almost nothing? i don't think that's right at all. the terminology used there prompted a significant backlash against nick robinson, including this message to newswatch from pauljaffey. nick robinson put out a statement that afternoon saying, meanwhile, rhoda yates sent us this plea about the bbc�*s coverage more widely.

it's not easy right now to work out exactly what is happening in the middle east, such is the fog of war and the amount of propaganda and inaccuracies being circulated. take this report by merlyn thomas from bbc verify. misinformation has been circulating. iran's state tv repeatedly aired a video of a fire in chile, claiming that it was footage of missiles successfully hitting targets in israel. we found the original version of the clip, which was posted to tik tok in february. and the israel defense forces posted this video compilation on ex ——on x of iran's retaliatory attacks. most of the clips are of the attack, but there's one old clip here right at the end of the video, and that's from nearly ten years ago of a russian grad rocket launcher. as well as those two examples, last weekend saw a plethora of other cases of disinformation being circulated. video of palestinians praying at the al—aqsa mosque last week was claimed as showing them celebrating saturday's iranian

strikes, and footage from this video game, arma iii was posted as showing israel's iron dome defence system in action against those strikes. meanwhile, video from iranian sources said to show missiles launching on saturday originated variously from the war in gaza in 2021, turkish rockets fired in syria in 2020, ukrainian missiles targeting russian ships last month, and an old farm fire in chile. more footage claiming to be of israelis panicking at the drone attacks actually showed fans of the pop star louis tomlinson in argentina last week. well, those videos with their sometimes wild claims are amongst the footage that's been examined over the past week by journalists at bbc verify. one of those journalists is shayan sardarizadeh, and hejoins me now. thank you so much for taking the time to come on newswatch. can we talk about the footage of pop fans in buenos aires that we just

showed a bit of there? how fast did that get exposed, and what was the process? yeah, absolutely. i mean, that video was mega viral in the early morning hours when the news of the iranian retaliatory strike against israel began breaking. and i saw it spreading on tiktok, on instagram, on the platform x. some really big influencer accounts on x and on instagram posted that video and it got millions and millions of views. and then our colleagues from the bbc monitoring service, which monitors iranian media 24/7, they got in touch and they said, "have you guys seen this video? "it's actually being run on iranian state tv "and they're claiming this is israelis actually in fear "and panicking from iranian missiles making impact in israel". and in the video, it's a night—time video and you see a wide street with traffic lights on, some big buildings in the background. and you see a group of people,

mostly young people, screaming and running. and then we actually found the original footage posted on tiktok by a young fan of louis tomlinson of one direction, who had visited buenos aires near four seasons hotel, which is the building, the main building you see in the background. and they were running towards him and his car as he was arriving at the hotel. interesting. so another example which we saw merlyn thomas talking about — this fire in chile that the iranians also claim to be drone damage to israel. can you talk us through how you examined that one? absolutely. again, very similar to the previous video. so colleagues from bbc monitoring got in touch and said, "we have spotted this video that is being run "on iranian state tv". and when you look at the video, it's actually quite, quite dramatic footage. you see what appears to be a motorway in the foreground and then in the background, there's a massive ball of fire that turns the night sky completely red. and the video that was run on iranian state tv didn't have sound on it.

but when we found the video on social media, spreading on social media, it was crystal clear that you could hear people speak spanish. so there was a woman speaking spanish in it and another woman in the background was actually crying. we figured out that that video was actually posted in february on tiktok, and it actually shows a farm fire in chile and has got nothing to do with what was going on between iran and israel that night. now, there have also been attempts at deception from pro—israeli social media accounts. can you tell us about some of those examples that you found? yeah. so i found the official account of the israel defense forces, the idf, on the platform x on the night of the attack posting a video compilation. it was like a 30—second video compilation of some of the videos of the attack in different areas of israel that night. and it was basically a compilation video with the idea of warning the world about the threat of iran against israel. now, i was instantly surprised when at the end of that video i saw a clip which is quite notorious on the internet because it's been going around online

for about ten years, and it's been used misleadingly in all sorts of different contexts. but we know for a fact that that video, which shows basically a russian grad rocket launcher launching tonnes and tonnes of rockets into the night sky. it's been going around for many, many years in all sorts of misleading contexts. you know, this does make one wonder, how much is the scale and the size of misinformation in this conflict bigger and more sort of serious than what you've seen before? the way people consume news is changing, obviously. people don't necessarily sit in front of a television to follow the news. as soon as a news, breaking news story breaks, people go on the internet, on social media platforms, on tiktok, snapchat, instagram, facebook, x, to try and find out what's happening and see the latest videos. and while many genuine videos of what's going on at that particular moment do get posted on the internet — and we and other news outlets use them and verify them in our reports —

plenty of misleading videos are also posted. any time there's a massive breaking news situation, we've got to be prepared for a torrent of misleading footage being posted online. we have to be careful about what is actually accurate and true and what is not. shayan sardarizadeh, thank you so much for coming on. it's been hard to ignore the former prime minister liz truss this week. it's been hard to ignore the former prime minister liz truss this week. in case you haven't noticed, she's got a book out and has given several media interviews, including one with the bbc�*s political editor chris mason, played in full on newscast and in shorter versions elsewhere on bbc news. you talk in the book about the "deep state". i mean, isn't that to indulge in conspiracy theory kind of quackery? ijust think british politics has to move on from the whole sort

of personality politics of "who's the leader, "what has x said, what has y said, are they a hypocrite"? to what the fundamental issues facing our country. and ijust feel there is not enough serious discussion about that. you're a massive taylor swift fan, aren't you? i think you've met her. is that right? i have met taylor swift. yeah. _ all the stuff about the lasting less time than a lettuce... this isjust pathetic, you know, point scoring. keith phair had this reaction to some of the lines of questioning there. linda harley had another concern, asking...

scott young also had his reservations. we put those points to bbc news and a spokesperson told us: thank you for all your comments this week. if you want to share your opinions about what you see or hear on bbc news,

on tv, radio, online and social media — email: or you can find us on x, formerly known as twitter: you can call us: and do have a look at previous interviews on our website. that's all from us for now. thank you forjoining us. do you think about getting in touch, and perhaps even coming on the programme. we'll be back to hear more of your thoughts about how the bbc covers the news next week. goodbye. good morning, welcome to breakfast with naga munchetty and charlie stayt. our headlines today. tensions remain high between israel and iran — but there's been no new military

action in the region overnight. students are being forced to ration their adhd medication ahead of exam season — despite the government promising to fix the shortage. how are they meant to do as well in their exams? everything they know is taken away from them. four teams have made it to wembley ahead of a semifinal weekend but it will make it there in five weeks' time to lift the fa cup. for the vast majority of us it will be a dry weekend but temperatures and club will very quickly. all the details coming up. it's saturday the 20th april, our main story. tensions remain high in the middle east despite a night which has seen no further clashes between israel and iran. iranian officials have continued to downplay the significance of an apparent drone attack by israel in the early hours of friday morning, which us officials say

were targeting sites including iran's air defence radar system. our north america reporter will vernon has more. it's been just over 24 hours since iran came under attack. us officials say israel fired at least one missile into iranian territory, no major damage or casualties were reported. this was a relatively small scale strike by israel. earlier, the us secretary of state antony blinken would not comment on reports the white house was informed in advance about the israeli assault. ,, . , . , in advance about the israeli assault. ,, . , ., assault. the united states has not been involved _ assault. the united states has not been involved in _ assault. the united states has not been involved in any _ assault. the united states has not been involved in any offensive i been involved in any offensive operations. what we are focusing on, with the _ operations. what we are focusing on, with the g7_ operations. what we are focusing on, with the g7 is— operations. what we are focusing on, with the g7 is focusing on under guinness — with the g7 is focusing on under guinness reflected in a statement and in _ guinness reflected in a statement and in our— guinness reflected in a statement and in our conversation is the work to de—escalate tensions. and and in our conversation is the work to de-escalate tensions.— and in our conversation is the work to de-escalate tensions. and this is wh the to de-escalate tensions. and this is why the us — to de-escalate tensions. and this is why the us and _ to de-escalate tensions. and this is why the us and its _

and the wider region that what could have been an escalation of the conflict between israel and iran seems to have dissipated. the promised israeli response that we so referring to there was very very limited in its extent, to such an extent the iranians were able to allude to it without mentioning israel was responsible. there's been no official response from the israeli government and it looks for the time being that side of things seems to have calmed down and may be a red line has been drawn under it all though particularly his brother in southern lebanon have the capacity to attack israeli positions and we've seen the houthi rebels from yemen do the same so there are still tensions and threats between israel and iran but what is still happening and what happened overnight is more than the six month long war in gaza is intensifying. israel making it clear it will launch a full—scale military operation in the southern city of

rafa, the americans and british trying to warn israel against that. i don't think it will happen in the next few days because we have the passover holiday starting over the weekend but there were air strikes on wrapper overnight and in central gaza and there were civilian casualties according to the hamas run health ministry. the casualties according to the hamas run health ministry.— casualties according to the hamas run health ministry. the town now is 'ust run health ministry. the town now is just coming — run health ministry. the town now is just coming up _ run health ministry. the town now is just coming up to — run health ministry. the town now is just coming up to five _ run health ministry. the town now is just coming up to five minutes i run health ministry. the town now is just coming up to five minutes now i just coming up to five minutes now —— five minutes past eight and it revolves around what speed people should go in built—up areas. it's been the topic of great debate in wales. some roads in wales will revert to 30—miles per hour following a backlash against the welsh government's default policy to reduce speeds to 20—miles per hour. wales' transport minister said the changes would address concerns many people had about the £34—million project. our wales political correspondent, cemlyn davies reports. it's the clearest the new transport secretary ken skates has been about

his thoughts on the controversial 20 miles per policy. earlier this week he talked about wanting a truly targeted approach with the policy focused on built—up areas where you have schools, parks, hospitals and so on. and he said that there would be some changes. and we have had a bit more detailfrom him in an interview he has given to north wales live where he also admits that the welsh government has got things wrong on this policy. "we have put our hands up to say the guidance has to be corrected," he said. and he's also said that he wants communities to play a more active part in deciding what speed limits should be, rather than having speed limits imposed upon them. and on the potential timescale, well, he said he will give more detail on that when he gives a statement to the senedd next tuesday. in the meantime, councils have welcomed these comments and have said that mr

skates has brought a more pragmatic approach compared to what was previously the case. it's about making sure we have got the balance right and that those commuter routes and those streets that are probably caught up by the 20 mph criteria, but at a local level, people will say is that actually the right speed for the road? but of course any changes to the guidance will inevitably lead to further questions about the way this policy was introduced in the first place back in september, and may well be met by opposition from road safety campaigners who are urging ken skates to hold his nerve and keep the policy as it is. that was cemlyn davies reporting. a man who set himself on fire outside the trial of the former president donald trump in new york — has died. maxwell azzarello — who was 37 and from florida — threw pamphlets detailing various conspiracy theories into the air, before dousing himself in lighter—fluid and setting himself alight.

us media says a police source confirmed his death. lancashire police says it's "reviewing information" about allegations against the suspended conservative mp, mark menzies. mr menzies lost the whip after the times newspaper reported that he had asked a party activist for thousands of pounds, to pay for what he described as "bad people" who had locked him inside a flat. he told the newspaper he strongly disputed the allegations. the metropolitan police has apologised after an officer told an anti—semitism charity leader that he looked "openlyjewish." gideon falter was stopped near a pro—palestinian march in london and told that his presence was causing a breach of the peace. the met�*s initial response was also criticised for suggesting the presence of counter—protestors could be seen as provocative. flights into dubai international airport are being restricted because of continuing disruption caused by flooding. more than one year's worth of rain fell in a single day on tuesday.

some passengers have complained of chaos and overcrowding at the airport as they tried to leave. our reporter louisa pilbeam has the details. terminal 3 at dubai airport — days of queues, crowds and cancellations are making people desperate to get out. the passenger who filmed this said he stood for two nights, crammed into the small space. this is where the queue starts. this was taken by a man who said some people passed out and others got into fights. he said he slept on the floorfor 48 hours. every time they cancel a flight you got to queue back up. you can't do it online because they can't transfer your baggage. this isjust a joke! clara filmed this footage trying to fly to dublin, she says there has been little information and what she described as no staff. this was the scene

earlier in the week. planes sitting in a sea of floodwater at the world's busiest international airport. flights in and out are still limited. in a statement on social media, dubai airport said its teams are working tirelessly to restore normal operations and minimise delays and say passengers' welfare is its top priority. for some the damage is done. two top indian wrestlers missed a mandatory weigh—in for a qualifier at the summer olympics in paris. dubai, qatar and oman have seen unprecedented flooding after the heaviest rain recorded this week. a year's rain fell in one day alone. just look at the damage caused, cars and lorries were left submerged and stranded in countries lacking the infrastructure for these weather conditions.

across the gulf states, more than 20 people have died. the rain may now have stopped but trying to get people out of dubai and neighbouring countries will take days and the cleanup here much longer. louisa pilbeam, bbc news. the time is ten minutes past eight. some images for you now. skiers and snowboarders in the united states have marked the end of the winter sports season with a bang and a splash. cheering. this is how they celebrate spring in the mountain resort of gunstock, in new hampshire. the idea is to skim across the pond at the bottom of the slope — but some are more successful than others. laughter. done with style! what about this

one? the watching crowds seemed to like it either way. it was very, very cold, but it looks like fun. it was very cold overnight. i could watch those pictures all day. i might give it a go after this. let me take you to north of leeds, the weather watcher got the first on the ground, blue skies overhead but overnight, billy was first across the uk, temperatures down to —4 in cumbria but as far south as the outskirts of oxford it was —3. the temperatures lifting, blue skies for the vast majority of us and some exceptions. especially across eastern counties of england, a cold day with some showers across the east and it will

stay dry. cloud to the north of scotland which will thicken to produce light rain or drizzle but elsewhere, sony us this morning and cloud increasing but if you are in the far south of scotland, the western fringes of northern ireland, england and wales, its light winds, blue skies and temperatures highest in northern ireland. chilly on the eastern coasts, seven or 8 degrees. tonight the cloud thickens in northern scotland, rain developing in the north and east, some showers in the north and east, some showers in east anglia and the south—east, slightly more cloudy elsewhere, not quite as cold tonight but still some of you waking up to a frost especially in the west. no frost in london but a chilly start for those heading to the london marathon. things dry during the day, breezy, the small chance of a shower, most around canary wharf as the breeze

funnels through the high buildings and a breeze blowing across the south—east tomorrow, a small chance of a shower. more cloud across central and western england across eastern scotland and the fat north of england, the greatest chance of some rain and drizzle. south—west scotland, northern ireland, sunny spots tomorrow, 15—18 , and that means for northern ireland, it could be the warmest day of the year so far but chilly in the rainfall, and cool down eastern coasts. and that leads into a chilly night across the south on sunday night but on monday, cloud spilling south, the outbreaks of rain and drizzle finishing in northern england tomorrow but pushing through into the midlands, wales, and southern counties. turning lighter and patchy, rain in scotland but we will see the cloud break in northern ireland and

southern scotland, highest temperatures here again, around 16 degrees in southern scotland on monday, chilly and southern and eastern parts of england and next week we state temperature is just a little bit below average for the time of year. thank you. it's coming up time of year. thank you. it's coming up to a quarter past eight. it's been six months since we first reported a shortage of adhd medications here on breakfast and despite government pledges to resolve the issue, many are still struggling to get hold of their prescriptions. it's an issue which has forced some students to ration the drugs, which can improve concentration and focus, ahead of exam season. our reporter ben moore has the story. it's really hard to actuallyjust kind of get your brain to be quiet. and it's like 20 different things are going on at once. imagine all this going on in your head when you are trying to revise for exams that could shape the rest of your life. for alice and her adhd, medication makes a huge difference. it allows me to just sit down and it allows me

to get my work done. which i couldn't do before. it's because i'm not constantly getting distracted and not constantly thinking about other things. i can solely focus on that one thing. if i've got 16 left, so just over two weeks which will get me... it won't get you to the start of your exams. no, it won't. if you can't get them because of this shortage, what happens? i would be terrified. i genuinely don't know how i would be able to get through my gcses, especially achieve the grades i wanted to, or even i don't know if i would be able to finish the exam. most adhd medications are controlled drugs, categorised as harmful if abused, so they are only prescribed one month at a time. it's like a gamble, go to the pharmacy and they will either say yes, fine, it would be great, or they will say sorry, problem. is there a possibility that alice might not have the drugs to do her exams with? there is that possibility. because i can't put the medication on the shelves in the pharmacies. an adhd medication shortage hit the uk last september

due to an increase demand coinciding with manufacturing issues. the government says it has taken swift action to improve the supply of adhd medications and as a result some issues have been resolved. but some charities are not so charitable about the government's handling of the issue. we have spoken to teachers who don't know what to do. about children struggling without medication, we have spoken to. parents, we have actually| spoken to an exam board. nobody has been given any support. the work hasn't been done i to know what really makes a difference. every second counts at this point. how are they meant to do as well as they are predicted to do in their exams if the medication that helps them concentrate, helps them revise, helps them remember things as well is taken away from them? it doesn't make sense. ben moore, bbc news. leanne maskell has adhd and is a coach for others with the condition and joins us now, alongside the pharmacist

tim ansell isn't a firefighter. hisjob instead is to photograph some of the most devastating fires across south yorkshire. be it forfire investigation, be it for media or training purposes. his photos are a striking look into what firefighters tackle every day, from house fires to water rescues to moorland blazes. i've got so much respect for the fire service and the people that come and do the job. through the years and through my lens, you see so much change. so that their work, the great work that the fire service do, doesn't get hidden. and he's seen a lot of change since he's been doing the role informally since 1985. the appliances, the stations, the uniforms. but one thing has always been the same. it's people that want to help. and that's what the fire service says.

it's all about making somebody's bad day that little bit better. he'd wanted to be a firefighter ever since he was young, but an issue with his eyesight meant he'd have to settle for a role behind the scenes. and they said, "i'm afraid your eyesight "doesn't quite meet requirements." when you were told that, how did it make you feel? crushed. i felt crushed. and i've ended up being the photographer, so i've got a keen eye somewhere. tim's captured some defining moments in the county's history — nightclub fires in sheffield to schools burning in doncaster. you are getting an absolute unique view. we are telling a story, if you like, of what the fire and rescue service are doing in south yorkshire. there's been a fire photographer in the '70s and '80s, but it was phased out until tim took it on in 2009. albeit on an as—and—when basis and i'm very proud to carry it out. his pictures tell the stories of the brave people who put themselves in danger.

weekend because he has been trying to convince me all morning i need to be excited about this, so come on, sell it to me. i'll do my best. it is one of those weekends at this stage of the season where it feels like games have consequence, they often take place in sunny weather, too. maybe a bit of magic in the air, too, because it would be a true to her deluxe hotel if they beat them in the semifinals. they won the trophy in 1987 and since then they face many challenges including delegations and losing their home ground, so can they really overcome the 12 time fa cup winners manchester united at wembley tomorrow and reach their first final 437 years? is mike bushell. a day the city of coventry will neverforget — may, 1987. # nothing's gonna stop us now #. starship were number one with nothing's gonna stop us now and the only thing stopping the coventry team bus

on their open—top victory parade were the hundreds of thousands of fans lining the streets of the city. 37 years on, and three of the team are being reunited with the bus, which now has pride of place in the coventry transport museum. next stop, wembley! i've got no change, i'm afraid. a chance to climb the stairs again in the hope the current team can follow in their footsteps and be inspired by coventry's famous cup final win over spurs. still now, 37 years on, we still meet up every three orfour weeks. we've got a unique relationship, which has stood the test of time. bennett. david bennett! 1-1. it's a thing that we'll never, everforget. and 250,000 fans who was there on the sunday, they'll never forget it. to be back on the bus is...is part of the history of it all, really. and that can never be taken away from us, which is a wonderful feeling. we couldn't find the toilet, which

was a bit embarrassing in some ways. we should have complained early, really, thinking about it. you know, it's disgraceful having a bus with no toilet. it should have been the first thing that we ordered. yeah, exactly, yeah. down below, the absence of a toilet wasn't the main concern for barry, the driver of the bus that day for that victory parade. the crowds were incredible and i thought, "this bus is going by itself." so i took it out of gear and the crowds were pushing it. it was just... i couldn't believe it. the crowds were all pushing, pushing everywhere. the windscreen was bending with people pushing on it. i thought, "any minute now, the windscreen is going to go," so i backed off. it was quite frightening at times. as well as an open—top bus parade, there's another great tradition associated with fa cup success and getting to the final, and that's the cup final song.

now, coventry recorded one, they performed it live on blue peter. # go for it, go for it, city #. the captain at the time, the legendary character that he was, doesn't want to be reminded of his team—mates' dulcet tones. so i've been to his magical kingdom in west yorkshire to remind him. # who lives in a house like this #. and captain brian "killer" kilcline still has his famous flowing locks. i notice you've got the hair still. thank you very much. come and join us. he's the psychologist. he's looking after me. is he a coventry fan? he's a fan of the house. he's a fan of how we feel.

# sky blues sure win... # i remember when we recorded it somewhere in a sort of back street in coventry. never drank so much beer in my life. # killer lurks about #. "killer lurks about" — who wrote that line? is it true, do you lurk? possibly, possibly. no, when i was younger, i used to stand up straight. then when i started playing football, they told me to bend down cos you make yourself quicker. so it probably looked like i was lurking. and i've been lurking ever since. i got injured, i didn't play the whole game, and i asked the lads, i said, "is it all right for me to go?" they all said to me, "oh, go on, get up there, your big goat." and i eventually got to the top and it was just the relief of getting to the top and then turning around and seeing all the supporters. the supporters were absolutely brilliant that day, but they were brilliant all the way through our cup run. ijust loved being out with my mates, and i had 16 great mates that we had good times with and the more we did well

in the cup, the more times we could go out and enjoy it. it's something you don't realise at the time. it's not until you get older and wiser, you realise, blimey, that was some achievements. that was some achievement. and, you know, 30 years of people telling you what an achievement it was, you start to realise, "we did well there." what a moment for the sky blues! they are through to the semifinals of the fa cup! the coventry class of 2024 are returning to wembley now for an fa cup semifinal after their own heroics, defying the odds with two injury—time goals to win at premier league wolves. it's obviously manchester united, being in the premiership. they're a big team by name, but not a big club anymore, so you've always got a chance. the longer we stay in the game, it's like a boxing match, you've got to fancy your chances,

and it's about the lads going there and managing the game, you know. the chance to lift a cup, albeit a smaller one, again on the iconic bus, is a reminder to the current team of how fa cup success can last a lifetime. todayis today is man city against chelsea at 5:15pm. _ today is man city against chelsea at 5:15pm, while chelsea women have a senhfinal— 5:15pm, while chelsea women have a semifinal today, the first leg of their— semifinal today, the first leg of their champions league last four tie against _ their champions league last four tie against barcelona in spain and also scottish— against barcelona in spain and also scottish fa cup final weekend as celtic— scottish fa cup final weekend as celtic continue their attempts to win the — celtic continue their attempts to win the trophy for a 42nd time. they play aberdeen today having not lost to them in nearly six years. and manager brendan rodgers has never lost a scottish cup game in his two spells as celtic manager. catalans dragons have the chance to regain top spot in super league later today. st helens supplanted them after thrashing hull fc by 58—0 last night. they ran in ten tries with two for waqa blake. hull remain one off the bottom. saints now lead a really tight table on points difference

from wigan and catalans. the world snooker championship starts this morning with luca brecel hoping to be the first to avoid a crucible curse. no first—time winner has successfully defended their title the next year. brecel is belgian. the first world snooker champion from mainland europe. it was a surprise win last year. and once again he's not among the favourites to take the trophy this time. he's starting against david gilbert in the first round this morning at 10am. that means i don't have to expect myself to do it because no—one has done it, ronnie hasn't done it, stephen hendry hasn't done it. so, why should i do it? there is no pressure. and it's a nice incentive to have, something to play for. and maybe if i get to a semi—finals i will start thinking about it but now it's just too far away. you can follow luca brecel and the other 31 players at the crucible over the course of the next two weeks and a bit. it is all on the bbc. thank you very much, hugh. 8.47.

we should not be full by the sun this morning, should we? you should not, especially if you iurnp you should not, especially if you jump out of it for any length of time. good morning, hope you are well. the weekend has started lovely and bright, look at the scene from a weather watcher out in baildon near bradford. lovely blossom, blue skies overhead, but outside there has been a chill, temperatures below freezing across many parts of the country first thing. now lifting up but putting it into the bigger scale of things, and how things compare to normal, this is the anomaly chart, how temperatures compare to normal this time of year. where you can see the blues temperatures are below normal central and eastern england, in particular eastern scotland but also across much of europe which is also across much of europe which is a big turnaround from what we have seen so far this month across europe where we have seen record—breaking april heat. the other thing that switched around and causing that colder air to push in are the weather patterns. we have high pressure to the west, low—pressure to the east feeling the cold air southwards and it also mean central and eastern parts of the

mediterranean could be quite stormy at times this weekend. but for us we have the high pressure at long last. we have been needing that, it means dry weather, most of you having a dry weather, most of you having a dry day today. there are a few showers, eastern counties of england with a chilly breeze and more clouds thickening up in northern scotland later to produce light rain or drizzle. but elsewhere while the cloud amounts will steadily increase for many of you, they will stay dry. sunniest south—west england, west and wales, north—west england, south—west scotland and northern ireland. it is here where the winds are lightest in the west we will see the highest temperatures, very pleasant, 13—15 c in the sunshine, chilly in the east. for some of you that tree pollen levels remain low but starting to creep up for some and more especially across the south—west of england with the lighter winds and sun out this afternoon. tonight the winds remain light across western areas, still a breeze in the east, one or two showers in east anglia but thickening cloud in eastern scotland will start bringing outbreaks of rain and drizzle and with more cloud

across england and where is, not as cold tonight as it was last night. into some day we go, more clouds down eastern scotland, northern england, parts of england and wales. it is eastern scotland and later into parts of cumbria and northumberland and lancashire light rain at times. they will still be a few showers in the south—east. one or two neverfarfrom london but it should stay dry with ink for the london marathon. a little bit blustery and cool. with south—west scotland and northern ireland seen the light winds and sunniest weather and even warmer than today, 15—18 c could be northern ireland's warmest day of the year so far. as you go through sunday night and into monday after a cold night cloud drifting southwards across the country, a much cloudier day on monday as well. outbreaks of rain or drizzle spreading southwards across england and wales, sunniest conditions in southern scotland and northern ireland and temperatures are still in the mid—teens. that's how it looks. back to you. thank you very

much. there is something about a drama on board a plane. visit the claustrophobia? what is it? you can't get off, you are stuck. we are going to talk about this with household name, thanks to his role in the epic hobbit trilogy. richard armitage returns to our screens in a new 6—part sunday night itv thriller.

we will be back with a headline shortly. live from london. this is bbc news iran responds to friday's attack — the country's foreign minister described the weapons used as more like children's toys, rather than drones. a multi—billion dollar ukraine aid bill moves one step closer to passing in the us congress. a man dies after setting himself on fire outside the court in new york, where donald trump's hush—money trial is taking place. the world's largest digital astronomy camera is now complete — we take a look at why scientists are excited. and we visit manchester's new venue, co—op live —

which is set to become the biggest indoor arena in the uk. hello, i'm nicky schiller. we start this hour with the tensions in the middle east. iran's foreign minister has downplayed israel's involvement in the recent attack on his country describing the weapons used as more like children's toys, rather than drones. hossein amir—abdulahearn made the comments in an interview with us media. he said israeli micro—drones used in the operation had caused no deaths or damage, and dismissed it as a "desperate attempt" by israel to "make a victory out of their repeated defeats". he said iran would respond at the 'maximum level�* if israel acts against its interests. tehran�*s muted response to friday morning's events has raised hopes that tensions between the countries

can be dampened, and a wider
