this was the moment josias fletchman knew something terrible was happening. he was on holiday with his family in spain but ended up being one of the first to try and help a father and his two children who drowned. on christmas eve, nine—year—old comfort and 16—year—old praise—emmanuel got into difficulty in this pool at club la costa world. their father, gabriel diya, then tried to save them, but all three died. youth workerjosias was heading for a family swim when it became clear there was an emergency. when i got there, the reception people had already, like, they must have got the bodies, the three people out, brought them out the pool. there was a lady there and she said, you know, can i take over? so i took over. at first i was like in my head thinking, whoa, because i've done cpr on dummies, but to do it on a real body for a minute i was like, oof.

but then the spirit kicked in yet again and allowed me to do my bit. the hotel resort has a number of swimming pools, butjosias says he doesn't think there was enough safety measures in place. there wasn't a lifeguard at that pool? no. were you surprised by that? yeah. tell me why you were surprised. because if a lifeguard was there, that probably wouldn't have happened. that person could have lived if there was a lifeguard there. spanish police have now finished their investigations and say this was a tragic accident. but mrs diya, who lost a husband and two children, is planning to challenge the police report. now back in the uk, the man who tried to help says his thoughts are very much with the family. they've lost not one but three people, a young little girl, a 16—year—old lad and a husband. i'm praying for her. every single day, i'm praying for her. i was praying for her when i was on holiday, and i am still praying

for her consistently. that was josias fletchman speaking to our correspondent helena wilkinson. artificial intelligence — or ai — could be as accurate, if not better, than doctors at spotting breast cancer in scans. researchers trained a computer system to read x—rays, and found it was more accurate than a single radiologist, and equal to the ability of two experts working together. as our medical correspondent fergus walsh reports, this use of ai could well improve all cancer care. this is painstaking work. it takes more than a decade of training to become a radiologist and have the skill to read a mammogram. in the nhs, two doctors analyse every woman's x—rays. now, artificial intelligence, a machine learning computer designed by google health, can do itjust as well as humans. this went far beyond

my expectations. it will have a significant impact in improving the quality of the reporting and also freeing up radiologists to do even more important things. women aged between 50 and 70 are invited for breast screening every three years. the study in the journal nature showed al was actually better than one doctor working alone at reading mammograms. it produced i.2% fewer false positives, where a healthy mammogram is wrongly labelled as abnormal. and there were 2.7% fewer cases where a cancer was missed. and ai will only get better. this study shows us that in the future it might be possible to make that screening programme more accurate and more efficient, which means less worrying time waiting for patients for results and better outcomes overall. helen edwards from surrey has been clear of breast cancer for 15 years. she was a patient representative

on the panel which had to approve google health's access to the mammograms, all of which were anonymised. initially, i was concerned — google, what are they going to do with this information? what are they going to do with the data? but when i thought about it, longer term it can only benefit women in having less recalls when you haven't got a cancer. this is a breakthrough moment for artificial intelligence, which seems certain to play a major role in the diagnosis of breast cancer in years to come. and ai has already proved its ability to read other types of patient scan, showing itself as good as leading ophthalmologists in diagnosing more than 50 different eye conditions. the nhs needs another 1,000 radiologists, so using al to replace one of the two doctors who read mammograms would ease that pressure and speed up diagnosis. fergus walsh, bbc news.

football and liverpool have extended their lead at the top of the premier league tonight, after beating sheffield united 2—0 at anfield. they are now 13 points clear, with a game in hand, as they go in search of their first league title in 30 years. 0ur correspondent andy swiss was watching the action. liverpool in search of a landmark. some 364 days after their last league defeat, could they make it a year unbeaten in the top flight? well, the answer was soon clear enough, as sheffield united stumbled, and mo salah struck. perfect start for liverpool. barely three minutes gone, and already business as usual. and it would have been more if not for dean henderson's rocket reflexes. salah brilliantly denied to keep the visitors within touching distance at the break. after it, though, liverpool continue to dominate. salah once again agonisingly close. how on earth did that stay out?

but eventually, almost inevitably, they found a way. a perfect illustration of their pace and poise, rounded off, at the second time of asking, by sadio mane. liverpool now with a 13 point lead at the top, and three decades after their last league title, you suspect this just might be their year. andy swiss, bbc news. that's all from me, now on bbc one it's time for the news where you are. goodbye.

hello, this is bbc news with me, rachel schofield. tv star ricki lake has shared a picture of herself with a buzz cut as she revealed she has been struggling with hair loss for almost 30 years. she says that at times it made herfeel suicidal. some types of hair loss in women can be temporary and caused by stress, cancer treatment, weight loss or a lack of iron, while other types are more permanent and caused by a medical condition. alopecia is the general medical term

for hair loss, and there are many different types. earlier, i spoke to amyjohnson from alopecia uk, a charity dedicated to supporting people who experience hair loss. she believes posts like ricki lake's are important for the community support of people who struggle with alopecia. it's good that she has spoken out, because it gets to the conversation started around alopecia, i think for many it is still a bit of a taboo subject. so when somebody in the public eye comes out about hair loss, obviously there is an outpouring of others who want to share their experience. in terms of the impact, the way she has spoken about it, it becomes so clear how devastating this can be. absolutely, it has a different impact on different individuals, but for some people it is life—changing. it really can have huge impact on levels of anxiety. lots people really struggle to face the world with their changed appearance.

it is a really big thing to come to terms with. i know that you have shared openly your own story, and perhaps you can tell listeners at home about your experience. i'm coming up on my tenth year of having alopecia, so i lost my hair in 2010, quite suddenly, so i have a type of alopecia which is an autoimmune condition and my hair began falling out in clumps in february of 2010, and byjuly of the same year i had lost all of my hair, including my eyebrows and eyelashes, and that is a really difficult thing to experience and to go through. is something i have adjuted to over time and it is something i live with and something i don't necessarily embrace, but this is who i am and i get on with it. i guess it is that identity that we connect with our personal appearance, it can be so difficult to deal with when a change like that happens. hair is a big part of our identity.

whether it is something... when i had a full head of hair, i did not really value it and did not spend a lot of time over my hair. so to lose it, it did have a big impact on me, because all of a sudden, you are faced with a different face looking back at you in the mirror, and your hair and eyebrows and eyelashes when they are gone, make a huge difference to the way you look, and that takes a lot to adjust to, looking completely different. amyjohnson there from alopecia uk. coming up at 11:30, we'll be taking an in—depth look at tomorrow's front pages of the papers with our reviewers, madeline grant, the deputy comment editor of the telegraph, and financial times political correspondent laura hughes. but first let's take a look at the weather. hello, good evening. it was quite mild for the time of year today, with temperatures widely in the double figures, but there was a fair amount of cloud to be had. this photo sent in by

a weather watcher in staffordshire. then it's all change as we move into tomorrow. we'll see more in the way of sunshine, but with that a noticeable dip in temperatures. we see this drop in temperatures starting to feed in as we go through tonight. these two weather fronts sink their way gradually south and east, bringing a spell of rain and some cloud, but opening the doors to this fresher air from the north and west. so as we go through tonight, we'll see cloud and outbreaks of rain gradually spreading south across england and wales. some clearer spells feeding in towards the north and one or two showers. the winds tending to fall lighter than we've seen through the day, although the potential for gales across the northern isles, we'll see a marked difference in temperatures. where we see the clearer spells developing, the temperatures really dipping way, although holding up where we have the cloud across the south.

so a mild start to the day on friday across southern parts of england. there'll be some clouds, some patchy outbreaks of rain. that will clear towards the south and east, and then there'll be plenty of sunshine across the board. a scattering of showers feeding in from the north west, could be wintry over high ground or even to lower levels across shetland. and again, it'll be windy across the northern isles. the temperatures, though, noticeably cooler than we've seen today, highs of around nine degrees celsius. the temperatures dipping away across the south after the cloudy start. as we move into the weekend, high pressure takes charge, so there will be plenty of dry weather the further south you are. the best of the brightness found in the south east. more cloud as you head further north and the potential for some outbreaks of rain for northern parts of scotland. the temperatures on saturday not doing too badly. a maximum of around nine, ten degrees celsius. not a great deal of change on the way as we move into sunday. high pressure remains in charge across the south.

this weather front towards the north will bring some outbreaks of rain for parts of scotland, perhaps feed into northern ireland and again more in the way of cloud further north, but there will also be some brighter spells, the best of those to be found in southern and eastern areas. the temperatures fairly similar to what we're looking at on saturday, a maximum of around ten, 11 degrees celsius. bye— bye.

this is bbc news. the headlines at 11:00pm: a state of emergency is declared in south—east australia amid warnings of more bushfires. it's the largest forced evacuation new south wales has seen, as thousands flee the path of the flames. the the path of the flames. fireballjust came through i about the fireballjust came through at about 80 kilometres an hour, hit the house, and then we ran into the lake, and all the embers and everything were hitting us, don't her haira everything were hitting us, don't her hair a little bit. there is anger over the government's handling of the emergency, as the prime ministerfound out when he toured the area. how come we only had four trucks to defend our town! because our town doesn't have a lot of money, but we
