so does the impact it's having on victims. we speak to one advocate lobbying us lawmakers to take action on deepfake pornography. hello, i'm helena humphrey. glad you could join me. people across mexico are voting in an election which is almost certain to result in the country's first female president. counting is under way. the frontrunner, claudia sheinbaum, and her main rival, xochitl galvez, are well ahead of the only male candidate. ms sheinbaum, who is a former mayor of mexico city, has the backing of the outgoing president andres manuel lopez obrador. the winner will begin a six—year term from 1st october, and face challenges that include tackling organised crime and violence. two people were killed

on sunday, in separate attacks at voting centres in the central state of puebla, forcing the suspension of voting. 38 candidates running for various positions have been killed during the campaign, making mexico's election one of the most violent in recent history. joining me now is jason marzak, vice president and senior director at adrienne arsht latin america center at the atlantic council. jason, it's been an extremely violent campaign. even today, two people killed in attacks on mexican polling stations. so it's notjust running as a candidate that's risky, it's also participating in democracy? yes, it's been a very violent campaign season, mexico's most violent. and you also have an increase in homicides. over the current six—year term. a quarter increase from the previous term. not only the

violence today, but someone shot and killed on thursday. a candidate. the polls have now closed. there were some incidents of violence today but it was relatively peaceful. i was concerned over larger acts of violence today but we didn't see that, we saw peaceful lines at polling stations. the vast majority opened on time. the day has progressed according to how mexico's agency had planned. now we are waiting for the first results to come out. as we wait, if we look at polls in recent months, claudia sheinbaum has largely been ahead, she is the hand—picked successor by lopez obrador. what do you think her potential presidency could mean for the country? presidency could mean for the count ? . ., ,, �*, country? claudia sheinbaum's otential country? claudia sheinbaum's potential presidency, - country? claudia sheinbaum's potential presidency, or - country? claudia sheinbaum's potential presidency, or if - potential presidency, or if xochitl galvez defies the

polls, it is historic, the first female president. the sheinbaum candidacy, in many ways it's a continuation of many of the policies of the current administration of president lopez obrador. but if sheinbaum is elected, she will become her own president. i don't see her running the countryjust based on the policies before. she has largely said she would continue the economic and social policies, the security policy, the migration policy. all of the migration policy. all of theissues the migration policy. all of the issues that are front and centre for mexicans. but i do see her as well being able to move away, head of government of mexico city... she showed her technocratic skills in being able to move the city in the new direction. {jut being able to move the city in the new direction.— the new direction. out of all the new direction. out of all the issues — the new direction. out of all the issues you _ the new direction. out of all the issues you just - the new direction. out of all i the issues you just mentioned for the new president coming into this role, which do you think will be the most urgent in terms of the challenge they

have more nuanced policies but clear divergences. i have more nuanced policies but clear divergences.— clear divergences. i am curious what you _ clear divergences. i am curious what you think _ clear divergences. i am curious what you think all _ clear divergences. i am curious what you think all of _ clear divergences. i am curious what you think all of this - what you think all of this means for the us presidential election in november. the relationship there, also cognisant of the fact the new mexican president will be in the role for about a month in the role for about a month in the run—up to the us presidential election. the run-up to the us presidential election. that's 10096 presidential election. that's 100% correct. _ presidential election. that's 10096 correct. the - presidential election. that's| 10096 correct. the president 100% correct. the president elect will face the pressure of having to respond to different concerns raised in the us campaign cycle. between now and when she takes office on october the 1st. the first month in office will set the stage for how the next president works with the next us administration, so far as how the president at that point will respond to the different concerns. security, migration, fentanyl and other issues that will be top of mind for the us campaign throughout the remainder of the campaign

season, but especially in the last months leading up to the november election.— last months leading up to the november election. jason, very aood to november election. jason, very good to have — november election. jason, very good to have your— november election. jason, very good to have your thoughts, . good to have your thoughts, thank you. good to have your thoughts, thank vom— good to have your thoughts, thank yon-— the us says it has "every expectation" that israel will accept a ceasefire proposal that would begin with a six—week cessation of hostilities in gaza, if hamas also takes the deal. but some members of israel's government are vocally opposed to the proposals. two far—right ministers in israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu's governing coalition have threatened to quit if a deal is struck before hamas is destroyed. white house national security communications advisor john kirby said on sunday that the us hopes both israel and hamas will agree to start the first phase of the plan "as soon as possible". it is an israeli proposal, we expect if hamas agrees to it, israel would say yes. it is the

start of phase one, some hostages coming out, you get some more humanitarian assistance, may be up to 600 trucks, and then the two sides can start talking about phase two. our international editor jeremy bowen says mr netanyahu is caught between a rock and and a hard place. one of the parts of that isjoe biden who has clearly decided it is time for a ceasefire, it is hurting him electorally back home, facing an election this year. he said in his speech, look, hamas can't do another october the 7th, it is now time to end it. he made a point of saying it is an israeli deal, but those two gentlemen bezalel smotrich and itamar ben—gvir have come out and said they will not support this and they will not support this and they will withdraw support from the government if it goes ahead, and that means there will be an election which netanyahu is likely to lose. and that's a difficult thing for him. why is

this going on? partly because of netanyahu's governing style. he tends tojuggle of netanyahu's governing style. he tends to juggle things. he tends to play off friends, enemies, allies against each other. he doesn't like to make hard decisions. but now he is being forced to make this decision because joe being forced to make this decision becausejoe biden is saying this is an israeli offer, and if hamas accepts it, it's got to go ahead. he's quite good, netanyahu, at resisting pressure from the hostage families. big demonstrations over the weekend in israel saying that they want a deal now. but he has not been good at resisting pressure from the right wingers, the extreme nationalists who support his government, who have said, if you agree to this kind of thing, you will be out. and that's something he does not want. south africa's ruling african national congress has lost its majority in parliament for the first time in 30 years according to final results from the country's general election.

south africa's president, cyril ramaphosa, acknowledged that the people had spoken as the anc suffered its worst election result since the end of apartheid “119911. mr ramaphosa says voters want the parties to find a common ground. support for the anc dropped as voters expressed concerns overjob security, rampant inequality, and power blackouts. south africa's political parties now have two weeks to work out a coalition deal, and then the parliament will choose a new president. our africa correspondent barbara plett usher has more. this is a country at a crossroads. the historic inequalities of apartheid have not been erased and the people have had enough. last week, they went to the polls and voted for change, delivering a dramatic drop in support to the african national congress. today, the president spoke for the first time. people have given effect to the clarion call that has

resonated across generations, that the people shall govern. our people have spoken. whether we like it or not, they have spoken. the anc�*s disastrous showing has thrown competition wide open for a coalition government to replace its controlling majority. the pro—business democratic alliance came second, with an agenda of free—market reforms, but it struggles to shake the image of a party for the white minority. the former president, jacob zuma, disgraced by allegations of rampant corruption, has made an extraordinary comeback, heading the newly formed mk party. the radical economic freedom fighters want to nationalise banks and seize white—owned land. so those are the options, and we have now had the official announcement of the election result, confirming what we already knew. that means that the anc has two weeks to form a coalition with parties which have very different visions of the country.

faced with that uncertain future are these young people injohannesburg, the generation for whom most is at stake. nearly 50% are unemployed. if we get somebody young, fresh, young blood, yeah, we're going to, i'm very much optimistic. it's going to be a beautiful country. i hope the ruling party is shaken as we want them to be. we just need the basics, like, just take care of the people. and to stay on their promises and keep their word, you know. we know they want to tell the money, let them tell the money, but let them at least do what they promised to do and then maybe tell the change. the votes may have been counted but nobody knows where they will lead. barbara plett usher, bbc news, johannesburg. around the world and across the uk. this is bbc news. let's look at another story making the headlines. tributes are pouring in for the former great britain rugby league

international rob burrow, who has died aged ai. he was diagnosed with motor neurone disease in 2019, two years after he retired from playing for the leeds rhinos, the club where he'd spent his entire career. the prince of wales described him as a "legend of rugby league" who had a "huge heart". here are the two speaking with former teammate kevin sinfield. who scored the most tries out of you two? j him, by a long way! by a long way! i think he knows that as well! is he laughing? yeah, he is! hopefully, through the campaign we have done, we have helped to make people aware of mnd and give people and families affected by the disease some hope. we have to keep raising funds to fight— we have to keep raising funds to fight this disease until we -et to fight this disease until we get a — to fight this disease until we get a cure. in a glittering career on the pitch, he won eight super league titles with leeds rhinos, the club where he spent his whole career. after his diagnosis, he dedicated himself to raising awareness about the disease. he leaves behind his wife lindsey and three children.

you're live with bbc news. artificial intelligence technologies are increasingly easy to access and use, but now a growing number of people are having their lives devastated as their likeness is used in ai—generated sexual imagery shared online, more commonly known as deepfa ke pornography. the vast majority is made, published and shared without the consent of those it purports to show. women, girls, and those in the lgbtq+ community are disproportionately targeted. musician taylor swift is one of several high—profile people targeted by non—consensual deepfake images. here in washington, congress continues to weigh legislation on how to best tackle it. the most recent is the disrupt explicit forged images and non—consensual edits act of 2024, also known as the defiance act. introduced in the house by new york representative alexandria ocasio—cortez, the bill would allow victims to take civil action against perpetrators. but while the bill has

bipartisan support, lawmakers have struggled to agree on who should be held accountable. democratic representative ocasio—cortez, who shared that she had also been the target of deepfake pornography, spoke about what is fast becoming an emergency. since the public release of ai tools, out of all the images and video that al tools, out of all the images and video that a! has generated, over 90—95% of it has been nonconsensual deepfake has been nonconsensual deepfa ke pornography. has been nonconsensual deepfake pornography. and over 90% of that targets women. i want you to think about how crazy that is. over 90% of all the images and video being developed by ai and video being developed by a! right now is to sexually exploitative, nonconsensual and targeting women. with me is to discuss this work is omny miranda martone, founder and ceo of the sexual violence prevention association which has urged lawmakers to pass a bill to penalise those who make and share deepfake pornography.

thank you so much for coming in to speak to us. you are the founder of the sexual violence prevention association, and i know that people have been reaching out to you if they have been the victim of deepfake pornography. how have those numbers of complaints growing? yes, we have seen nonconsensual deepfake pornography deepfa ke pornography skyrocketing in deepfake pornography skyrocketing in the last two years. before they were usually of celebrities and public officials, people in the public eye. i'm not saying that's ok, it's absolutely not ok, but it was not very common, because to create it, people needed a high—powered computer, notjust high—powered computer, not just a high—powered computer, notjust a laptop or smartphone. they needed good technical ability, to understand coding and ai, make the algorithm, and they needed hundreds of photos usually, at least 100, of their victim's space. that was going to be easiest with a public

official. —— victim's space. now it is on apps and people can do it in seconds. they only need about one or two photos of the victims face, which they pull from linkedin.- pull from linkedin. that is very scary- _ pull from linkedin. that is very scary. talk _ pull from linkedin. that is very scary. talk to - pull from linkedin. that is very scary. talk to us - pull from linkedin. that is| very scary. talk to us about the impact, the consequences and the emotional impact that comes with this as well. absolutely, there is immense impact, it is traumatising, a very big mental and emotional element. it's a violation of consent, autonomy and pride of these. considering how much of our lives is online, it's very scary. in addition, there are other consequences, victims of nonconsensual deepfake pornography experience much higher rates of stalking online and off—line. higher domestic and off—line. higher domestic and sexual violence. and a lot of loss of employment as a

result, as well as consequences of a damaged reputation. consequences across the board in addition to the trauma there. ., , ., ., ., ., there. you 'ust laid out all of there. you just laid out all of the consequences. _ there. you just laid out all of the consequences. in - there. you just laid out all of the consequences. in terms| there. you just laid out all of. the consequences. in terms of recourse, justice for those people on the other side who have been targeted, right now options are few and far between as i understand it. you have been speaking to lawmakers to get the defiance act passed. tell us how it would work. the coal tell us how it would work. the goal with _ tell us how it would work. the goal with the _ tell us how it would work. the goal with the m3 _ tell us how it would work. tug; goal with the m3 macro, tell us how it would work. tue: goal with the m3 macro, which is a bipartisan bill. —— with the defiance act. it would create a civil right of action for victims to seekjustice. it covers the creation, distribution and receipt of deepfake pornography. what deepfake pornography. what would that — deepfake pornography. what would that mean _ deepfake pornography. what would that mean exactly? i deepfake pornography. what would that mean exactly? does it mean opening the way to sue, litigation? it mean opening the way to sue, litiuation? , ., ., ,

still, president zelensky claims at least 106 countries have already signed up to attend. the us and nato allies are helping ukraine fight back, while seeking to avoid the conflict escalating. the upcoming conference in switzerland comes as the situation on the frontlines remains dire in kharkiv. last week, the us gave ukraine the green light to strike targets within russia's borders using american weapons. meeting on the sidelines in singapore, president zelensky thanked us secretary of defense lloyd austin, who reaffirmed the commitment to help ukraine win in its war against russia. china has landed an uncrewed spacecraft on the far side of the moon after years of planning. the landing site for the spacecraft faces away from earth, making communications difficult. the craft is expected to bring rocks and soil back to earth. the bbc�*s china correspondent laura bicker has more. this is the view from the change 6 space probe as it comes into land

on the far side of the moon. now that it's here, it has work to do in what china is describing as an historic mission. every movement was monitored at beijing's aerospace control centre. landing on this part of the moon, as shown in this animation, is risky. this is a very impressive mission because the thing about the far side of the moon is you've got no line of sight communication with the earth. but years earlier, china launched a satellite to relay messages from earth to solve that problem. after decades of preparation, the probe finally touched down. for the next two days, a mechanical arm will drill and collect rock and soil samples. this is a world first. scientists have never been able to study this side of the moon. the change 6 began its

mission in early may, and if the uncrewed craft makes it back later this month with the precious samples, china will know its leading the way in this type of lunar exploration, and the country is yet another step closer to putting their own man 0!’ woman on the moon. laura bicker, bbc news, beijing. let's turn to some other important news around the world. one person has been killed and at least 2a others injured in a mass shooting in the us state of ohio. police officers in the city of akron responded to reports of gunfire just after midnight local time on sunday. the local police department is investigating, but says no—one has been identified or arrested as a subject. businesswoman halla tomasdottir was declared the winner of iceland's presidential election on sunday, beating former prime minister katrinjakobsdottir. tomasdottir is the ceo of the b team, a global non—profit co—founded by uk businessman richard branson

which promotes business practices focused on humanity and the climate. iceland's president holds a largely ceremonial position in the parliamentary republic, acting as a guarantor of the constitution and national unity. in the uk general election, the veteran politician diane abbott has said she intends to "run and win" as a labour candidate. she was suspended from the party in 2023 after comments she made about racism, but was allowed back in last month. stay with us here on bbc news. hello there. we saw some pretty decent weather over the weekend. saturday, scotland, northern ireland saw the warmth and the sunshine. it was england and wales on sunday which saw temperatures reach 2a celsius in a few locations. this upcoming week, though, will be rather disappointing for many. it'll turn a lot cooler for earlyjune — sunshine and showers, and nights

will become chilly. gardeners and growers, do beware, could see a touch of frost at night from tuesday onwards. now, this area of high pressure, which brought the fine weather at the weekend, just retreating back out towards the atlantic, allowing some weather fronts to start to work their way down from the north. one such weather front will bring quite a bit of cloud across the country through the day — holes appearing in it, some sunny spells here and there, spots of rain over some western hills. best of the sunshine across northern scotland, but there'll be maybe a few showers across the north. quite blustery here, and turning cool already — but top temperatures, 19—20 celsius in the warmest spots elsewhere. as we move through monday night, we see the cloud coming and going, there will be some clearer spells. a few spots of rain just pushing into the northwest of the country — that's a sign of things to come. and most places will be fairly mild. but it's all change tuesday onwards, these cold fronts will bring outbreaks of heavy rain, some heavy showers — and behind it, that colder, arctic air spills its way southwards across the whole country through tuesday and wednesday, and hangs around

for the rest of the week. so we could see some heavy, maybe thundery showers across the northern half of the uk. some wintriness over the high ground, some hail mixed in, a few showers getting into england and wales, and it'll also be quite blustery. there will be sunshine in between, but it's a much cooler air mass — the low—to—mid—teens in the north, could just make 19—20 celsius in the warmest spots across the southeast. a bit cooler still for all areas on wednesday. further showers across the northern half of the country, the odd one just getting into the midlands and perhaps eastern england. but tending to stay dry here — top temperatures, 17—18 celsius, 10—14 celsius across the north of the country with these heavy showers, which will be blustery at times. little change as we head into thursday and friday. that area of low pressure sits to the north of the uk, feeding in this cool northwesterly breeze with plenty of showers, mainly to the northern half of the country. and that's how it looks to end the week, and indeed, into next weekend, where it will remain quite cool. further showers here, best of any dry and bright weather will be towards the south.

but pretty disappointing temperatures for the time of year.

a new industrial revolution, with 100 trillion dollars' worth of opportunities. we'll have more on nvidia's road map for al chips. plus, the prime minister of lithuania tells me how she responded to coercion

from china. hello, and welcome to business today. i'm steve lai. let's begin in taiwan — where nvidia bossjensen huang has laid out the company's latest roadmap for artificial intelligence chips. he says the chips will unlock 100 trillion dollars' worth of opportunities in the manfacturing, healthcare, and computing industries. your future pc will become an ai, it'll be constantly helping you, assisting you in the background. pc will also run applications that are enhanced by ai. of course, all your photo editing, your writing, your tools, all the things you use will all be enhanced by ai. and your pc will also host applications with digital humans that are ais. mr huang informally kicked off the computex technology expo in taiwan on sunday. the event is also being

attended by bosses from other large chipmakers, including intel and amd.
