england, though, are down in fourth afterjust one victory in the tournament so far. we'll have reaction in sportsday at 7:45. so, a disappointing result for england but congratualations to wales. unbeaten triple crown winners and top of the table. that's all from sportsday. now on bbc news, it's time for ros atkins on facebook�*s growing power. now on bbc news... ros atkins on facebook�*s growing power — and the real—world consequences. facebook is pervasive. the world's population is over seven billion — close to three billion of us are active facebook users. and that scale creates power, the power to turn off the news. in breaking news this morning, social media giant facebook has followed through on its threat restricting people in australia from viewing news content. the power to turn off those in power. facebook have extended

their block on donald trump's accounts for at least the next two weeks untiljoe biden's inauguration, accusing the president of using the platform to incite insurrection. and the power to change how we connect, how we communicate, for better, says facebook — for worse, says this former employee. we have created tools that - are ripping apart the social fabric of how society works. facebook is powerful, but is facebook too powerful? well, this is how mark zuckerberg sees its role. facebook is an idealistic and optimistic company. for most of our existence, we focused on all the good that connecting people can do. idealistic, optimistic, focused on the good. let's keep those words in mind as we consider three stories — the news ban in australia, the storming of the capitol in washington, and first, a coup. this is myanmar�*s military moving in to stop protesters gathering on the streets in early february.

it had removed aung san suu kyi's civilian government from power. and the man controlling the military is commander—in—chief min aung hlaing. he's a fan of facebook. he's been an active user for years. not so much now. facebook has taken down some of the military�*s pages because of, it says... this looks straightforward. if you launch a military coup and threaten peaceful protests, you lose your facebook page. but the story of facebook�*s power in myanmar is not straightforward. here's why. this is a country of 54 million people and over half of them have a facebook account. that didn't happen by chance. one third of people in myanmar live in poverty, and to help people get online, facebook removed all data charges and organized for the facebook app to be preloaded on many phones. it worked. listen to this technology reporter from the new york times. the entire internet is facebook,

and facebook is the internet. most people don't necessarily know how to operate or get on and navigate regular websites. they kind of live, eat, sleep and breathe facebook. soon, though, facebook was accused of playing a determining role in grave crimes. in 2017, rohingya muslim villages were ransacked, people were murdered. hundreds of thousands fled into bangladesh. and the un says facebook�*s platform helped create this. we know that the ultranationalist buddhists have their own facebooks and really inciting a lot of violence and a lot of hatred against the rohingya or other ethnic minorities. and i'm afraid that facebook has now turned into a beast than what it was originally intended to be used.

facebook was the main platform for sharing horrific content that incited violence against the rohingyas. mark zuckerberg was asked about this in 2018 and he said... it has done more to remove content, and now it's closed the military pages after a coup. but this is the same military that attacked the rohingyas and which continued to use facebook. the point being, in myanmar, facebook dominates how information is shared and decides who gets to share it. that's a lot of responsibility for one company. and if that's facebook�*s role in myanmar, next, let's turn to washington and the storming of the capitol. this was early 2021. america's fractured politics were laid bare, and with the very opposite of mark zuckerberg's ambition for america and for facebook as he outlined them in 2017. today, when we look around, our society is still very divided. all right, so, now i believe that we have a responsibility to do even more, not simply connect

the world, but also work to bring a world closer together. but is facebook actually doing that? to consider that, we need to look at how facebook works. this is a former president. it's a social validation feedback loop that, it's like a, i mean, it's exactly the kind of thing that a hacker like myself would come up with because you're exploiting a vulnerability in human psychology. and then a version of those concerns were seen in a 2020 leak to the wall streetjournal. internal facebook documents warn... but can we connect the experience of being on facebook with real life actions? well, 38 congress members think so. in the aftermath of the storming of the capitol, they sent a letter

to mark zuckerberg saying... and this is democratic congresswoman alexandria ocasio—cortez. mark zuckerberg and facebook bear partial responsibility for wednesday's events. one new york times columnist wrote... and there again is that accusation that technology designed to make a product popular has ended up undermining democracy and encouraging prejudice. well, in response to the capital attack, facebook ceo sheryl sandberg said... ——well, in response to the capitol attack, facebook coo sheryl sandberg said... this, though, highlights a truth about facebook�*s power.

it is ruler of its vast domain, and it can remove whatever it likes, be that hate speech, or donald trump's account, or the news. this is an assault on a sovereign nation. it is an assault on people's freedom. and in particular, it is an utter abuse of big technology's market power and control over technology. the third story we are looking at is about how, without warning, facebook removed all news content in australia. and let's go back to mark zuckerberg in 2019. facebook is about putting power in people's hands. but there wasn't power in the hands of australians who get their news via facebook. the news had vanished. responding to this, australia's prime minister scott morrison posted on, yes, facebook saying... but facebook is a company fighting for its interests, as companies do. in this case, it's over a row whether to pay news providers for content.

but the context of the row is facebook�*s scale. it's estimated that 40% of australians use facebook as their primary news source. that's a problem, according to this former facebook executive. i think he has too much power. you know, we're seeing sovereign nations having to come up against facebook yet, you know, we're not on the same playing field with facebook�*s power. and that concern has reached the uk. this is the head of the competition and markets authority talking to the bbc. i think it's a very worrisome development, and i think it really shows that we need to urgently do something to reduce this imbalance of power. by turning off the news, albeit temporarily, facebook showed its extraordinary power. and if countries feel they're at risk of being overpowered, a more fundamental issue arises. here's my colleague, rory clifton jones. the only real action that can really affect facebook is to break it up. and there will be growing

discussion about that, even in the united states, there are moves by certain democratic congressmen to say, "this is the only way forward. "it is too powerful." you can try little laws like this, but what you really need to do is lessen its power, and that means breaking it up. well, what happens next will in part be driven by president biden, a man who we know sees facebook as a problem. but as we consider these questions of facebook�*s power, i find it useful to go back to that famous clip of david bowie talking to the bbc about the internet. i don't think we've even seen the tip of the iceberg. i think the potential of what the internet is going to do to society, both good and bad, is unimaginable. i think we're actually on the cusp of something exhilarating and terrifying. i wanted to play that because the issues raised by facebook are really fundamental issues raised by the internet. the australia story is about old

business models being broken, economies being restructured. the stories in myanmar and america, in very different ways, show countries navigating the complete rearrangement of how we produce and consume information. these are vast political, economic and social shifts, and facebook�*s right in the middle of all that. it does have extraordinary power — perhaps too much. but more powerful still is the internet and how it's changing every facet of our lives. that's the power that we're really wrestling with. hello there. much of this weekend looks fine and settled and sunny, thanks to high—pressure. but there is still a weak weather front affecting northern parts of the country through today. that's bringing rather grey, leaden skies for parts of scotland and also northern ireland, bit of mist, also some drizzle.

a huge contrast further south, much of england and wales is bright with plenty of sunshine, and after the chilly start, that slightly stronger sunshine is getting to work, so it'll feel quite mild out there, but the next few days, pretty similar, largely dry with variable cloud, some sunshine and nights will continue to be chilly. there's that weather front across northern areas which will tend to fizzle away as we move through the latter part of the day. high pressure dominating the scene for those light winds as well across the board. a little bit of cloud across scotland and northern ireland, the remnants of that weather front further south for england and wales, largely clear skies, so it's going to turn cold. could see a bit of low cloud and mist rolling into eastern england and east anglia towards the end of the night, but where we have the clear skies, chillier with pockets of frost, mist and fog, a little less cold for scotland and northern ireland, because here we'll have a little bit more in the way of cloud. our area of high—pressure still with us then as we move into part two of the weekend. we've lost that weather front as well across northern areas. so i think after some early cloud

starts to break up across scotland and northern ireland, it should be a sunnier day for you through sunday. england and wales, plenty of sunshine around after a chilly frosty start, bit more cloud, though, affecting eastern england and east anglia. so here, i think temperatures may be suppressed a bit, 6—7 celsius in norwich. elsewhere though, where we have that strong sunshine, 10—13 celsius will be the high, so very mild again. now, as we head through sunday evening and night, it looks like we could see some more substantial mist and cloud rolling in off the north sea across england and wales through the night, whereas further north, scotland and northern ireland should see clearer spells, so here it will be colder with a touch of frost than what it will be further south and east because there will be more in the way of cloud. but it could be that we start many places off on monday morning like this, rather grey with some mist and murk around, but at least mainly dry. now, if i run the pressure chart on through monday and into tuesday, you can see high pressure dominates the scene, but this weather front mayjust move northwards and affect southwestern parts of the country tuesday into wednesday to bring just a few showers. i think for most, this upcoming week is looking dry with that area of high—pressure influencing the weather. could see variable amounts of cloud,

a little bit of sunshine in northern and western areas, and then signs of it turning chilly for all by the of the week. for all by the end of the week. this is bbc news the headlines at 7pm... tributes are paid to captain sir tom moore at his funeral — family members say his spirit will live on. the chancellor plans new measures to help people buy their own homes as he prepares his budget for next week. anas sarwar has been announced as the new scottish labour leader. he takes charge of the party ahead of the scottish parliament election on the 6th of may. and it is a try for wales! and in the six nations — wales seal the triple crown

with a 40 to 24 win over england
