the streets, but i am asking our people not to give the provocateurs an opportunity and only pay attention to the statements coming from the disaster management all authority. today's the time of unity and solidarity or twitter has been restricted across turkey, are following on line criticism of the government's response to the disaster. anchor says the platform was being used to spread disinformation, some from fake accounts critic say the restrictions or hamper efforts to get aid to people that i took a name reports from istanbul, opposition figures, non governmental organizations and academics are blasting. this parent restriction, one person tweeted, he's an opposition figure on a day when communication saves lives. how can there be restrictions? what kind of ineptitude bear in mind that turks have been using twitter to try to locate their loved ones? the government has not responded directly to this allegation, but since i arrived on monday,

the government has been banging the following drum saying, do not rely on quote, propaganda or misinformation on social media. only turn to a official government sources. so here is working on opening to more border crossings with syria to enable a flow of humanitarian aid. the main route used by the you and it's damaged on the ground in syria, rescuers are struggling to reach some of the worst. her tears said her repulse to maggie. i'm going to get a laugh is 10 years old. she survived mondays, earthquake. others are still being pulled out from under the rubble of collapse, buildings across syrian cities and towns. but many didn't survive until y'all was why he was a laugh, tells rescuers that her siblings and mother are dead under. they're destroyed. how funny. she was in the opposition controlled northwest of syria. the civil defense

the syrian government has ensured all aid goes through damascus and it's insisting they should continue now to as it struggles with the disaster. but critic say they don't trust serious authorities. i don't think any of the syrians refuse or mind or reject that the assad regina receive a it's just that we know for sure. he is never, never going to give the people that are in need any kind of aid. while some friendly countries have been sending a directly to damascus, much of the international community is avoiding dealing with a government sanctioned for war crimes against its own people. long accused of using aid as a weapon of war. it's now seen as politicizing, a catastrophe. blaming western sanctions for worsening the situation. a lot of the aeroplane cargo aeroplane refused to land on syria and air force because

of the american and european sanctions. american and you officials insist sanctions don't affect humanitarian aid and say it will continue to be provided in all parts of syria, but not through the regime. they say most of the damage has been in the opposition controlled north, where some aid has started to trickle in. but rescue or say, it's not enough that they're elisha theater. they wrote al jazeera correspondent, so have our colors sent us this report from italy, province in northern syria, where health facilities have been overwhelmed by hundreds of earthquake victims in need of treatment. while marianna and more dear are lately billy and mustache far as doctor. we are here in front of the south kane hospital where the bodies of some of the victims are ready to be given to their families. now where there is a glimmer of hope for summer, we just saw some people who had minor injuries and were released after a quick checkup. and with me now is the hospital director,

tanks to ukraine warri now that providing fighter jets may be an escalation to far entering downing street earlier to the unusual applause of the staff. president zalinski carried a message that was all too clear. if you want us to win this war, give us what we need to do it. president, do crazy. with a message, no doubt, reiterated at buckingham palace, where he met king charles the 3rd grade to be single. and a message repeated to ukrainian troops being trained by british forces on the plains of southwest england in response, prime minister receive soon accept the supply of combat aircraft was part of an ongoing conversation. and that 1st step would be expanding britton's training program to include teaching ukrainian pilots. how to fly nato's standard jets. that

the chat, but market microsoft chat, g p t was a 1st search truck bought, made it publicly accessible. while entry made our director of the future of being human initiative at arizona state university, his with a sly vin tempe, arizona. good to happy with us. so what for those of us who are not completely tech savvy, explained 1st of all, if you will, what is a chap bought or what's his purpose? so, so these next generation chat box are able to take almost anything. you ask them and give you a response that sounds like the most are ticklish intelligent person in the world, is your personal assistant. you can ask them anything from what time a date is to how to make your favorite recipe to in this case, where, who discovered the 1st exit planet. unfortunately, they sometimes get things wrong. well, that's right. you said almost anything or if they do make these mistakes, then why are firms investing so much in their development?

so the interface is quite incredible in that you can just talk to it, like you told to normal person and the responses it returns are incredibly insightful. so for instance, we have students that are now using these chat box to do their homework assignments to write essays. we have students that are asking them for advice on things, and quite often they gave a really good advice. it's just that you can't rely on them. well, absolutely. i mean, will these things encourage human beings to stop thinking for themselves and isn't that dangerous? it is a worry and it is a danger. i don't think they will, but it means that we've got to be smart about this. we've got to work out how we work with these machines rather than just stop thinking altogether. and you know, i don't think we do humans a pretty good at being imaginative and how we use our brains. but we've got to be careful as we have seen, her mistakes can be costly or how much of this is about money.

fortunately, an awful lot. so to be honest, firms like google, microsoft and others should be thinking about their social responsibility here. this is a powerful technology, but as you've seen, it can also really sort of undermine our understanding of the world. so rather than thinking about who is 1st across the line in terms of making the money, they should be thinking about the social consequences festival most well, those consequences indeed. i mean, is this just one part of why the issue with who has access to technology and who controls it? it's certainly a big issue around who controls and controls the message, not only the technology, but also what the technology feeds you. and the danger is, if you have one company that controlling the narrative, the information that comes out and especially one company that is in control of how they actually train these faults. it's going to be very hard to tell, not only what's true false, but also how this technology is,

maybe nothing society in one way or another. this is why it's important to get this right, but also have multiple players in the field. well, that's interesting. yes, i mean if this technology with eventually transform how we teach and learn will not always be for the good it could be, but it isn't necessarily the case. this can be a disaster if we don't think through the consequences. on the other hand, if we get it right, this could be transformative. this could be as big as the printing press or the invention of the word processor, or any one of a number of other things. it could change the way we live on life. do things on a productive whether might put you on the spot, then how much do you use these books yourself for your in, for? well i, you know, i've been playing with chop g p t quite logs and bit of a confession here as an academic, i have to write an annual review every year. i asked chat g p t to write my review this year, and it was pretty good. ok, we'll leave it there and you may not. thank you very much. indeed for joining us.

a mother reports at this dog shelter in southern spain. they look after greyhounds that have been abandoned often they are badly injured. for the people who work here, it's a labor of love. so you'd think they'd be in favor of a new law meant to strengthen animal rights. you'd be wrong within them, and then i am recently we were hit by a big step back suddenly there was an amendment where hunting animals, among other animals, such as work animals, it would not be covered by this laws. it's a huge step backwards because this law has really been made for these types of animals, the ones that are not controlled at a health level and done some kind of an eye to ventura. the bill's already exposed divisions between the countryside and the city. when spain's ruling socialists drafted it last year, they angered many voters in rural areas and important support base. in december, they submitted a last minute amendment excluding hunting dogs and other animals involved in traditional rural activities. but some involved in hunting say it generates more than $5000000000.00
