of asian men is jailed for eight and a half years. china and russia have denounced a defence pact, agreed by the us, uk and australia, that will provide australia with nuclear powered attack submarines. russia said the pact would bring years of confrontation to asia. the chinese foreign ministry said the three countries were on a path of error and danger, calling the deal a violation of the aims of the international non proliferation treaty. here's the chinese foreign ministry spokesperson wang wenbin speaking at the daily press briefing. translation: china has repeatedly stressed that the aukus pact - and the three countries' efforts to advance cooperation on nuclear submarines and other cutting—edge military technology

is typical cold war mentality. it will only spur an arms race and undermine the international nonproliferation regime and harm regional peace and stability. peace—loving countries have expressed their serious concern and opposition. the three countries' latestjoint statement shows that, in pursuit of geopolitical selfish interests, the three countries can disregard the international community's concerns, and they're travelling further down the dangerous and wrong path. i'm joined now by dan sabbagh, defence and security editor at the guardian. hello to you down, thanks for joining us. the chinese clearly very unhappy at this deal. how would you characterise this deal and are they right to be nervous because mark well, they are right to be focused on it because it's agreement is all

about china. this is really about the us wants to bring more and more country into the region and begin to assert itself against a fast—growing chinese navy. it's the largest navy in the world, although the us navy is more powerful. so what this is all about is trying to get nuclear powered submarines into the pacific ocean to have them initially based in australia and then have australia's own nuclear powered submarines. that would put australia on the technology par with china. and with a greater presence of british submarines in the end of pacific region and of course you submarines that would perhaps achieve some kind of parity or at least with china into the 20 30s in 20 405. it's least with china into the 20 30s in 20 40s. it's no surprise that china wants to talk about it and complain about nonproliferation. is wants to talk about it and complain about nonproliferation.— about nonproliferation. is not fair to talk about _ about nonproliferation. is not fair to talk about non-preparation's l to talk about non—preparation�*s president biden was at pains to say that these are nuclear powered submarines, they don't of nuclear

arms on them.— submarines, they don't of nuclear arms on them. well, at one level at arms on them. well, at one level at a reasonable _ arms on them. well, at one level at a reasonable point _ arms on them. well, at one level at a reasonable point to _ arms on them. well, at one level at a reasonable point to make - arms on them. well, at one level at a reasonable point to make because nobody wants to see nuclear technology being spread around the world on a wanton basis. on the other hand, these are not nuclear weapons. this is about nuclear power. very extraordinarily, they are small nuclear reactors that produce submarines and are used to propel for a time until the nuclear fuel is spent. now what's different here is that australia will be the first country in the world, first nonnuclear nation to have nuclear powered submarines. but the weight of the submarines are going to be somewhat billed, the nuclear reactors will be built by rolls—royce and derby in the uk as i understand. and then will be sort of supplied to the australians in effect. so that it will be, the australians will have the use of them but not being able to access them but not being able to access the nuclear fuel itself and any profound or dangerous whale. estrella doesn't have the facility to do so in any event.—

to do so in any event. dan, you have kindly agreed _ to do so in any event. dan, you have kindly agreed to _ to do so in any event. dan, you have kindly agreed to take _ to do so in any event. dan, you have kindly agreed to take a _ to do so in any event. dan, you have kindly agreed to take a question - to do so in any event. dan, you have kindly agreed to take a question on i kindly agreed to take a question on some news that has just come into us of a russian jet colliding with a us drone over the black sea. we've got a little bit more information on that now. this comes from reuters. a russian su 27 fighterjet struck that now. this comes from reuters. a russian su 27 fighter jet struck the propeller of a us military repo surveillance drone on tuesday, causing it to crash into the black sea. in an incident condemned as reckless by the us military. comments, thoughts about what you've just learned because mark well comments, thoughts about what you've just learned because mark weiiii just learned because mark well i think on the _ just learned because mark well i think on the face _ just learned because mark well i think on the face of— just learned because mark well i think on the face of it, - think on the face of it, it's clearly a very serious incident. the us drone, the reaper drones, these are both very high—end complex pieces of military engineering. the us will not want to lose a reaper drone which will have been engaged in the surveillance operation, almost certainly providing intelligence for the ukrainian military to help them target

russians. i guess one of the questions will be was this incident accidental quest mark initial reports suggest that it was, but i think you don't want to rush to a conclusion. it wasn't accidental that's sort of dangerous and wearing. i suspect it's more likely but it wasn't an accident. but it's just hard to be definitive at this stage. of course what nobody wants to see, neither us nor i think russia, is any kind of direct confrontation or further confrontation or further confrontation between the us and russia. almost certainly, russia would come off worse. but any kind of escalation of a conflict to ukraine would be deeply worrying. so hopefully, i'm sure everyone will exercise restraint as we find out more about what happened. thank you, dan. good more about what happened. thank you, dan- good to — more about what happened. thank you, dan- good to get _ more about what happened. thank you, dan. good to get your— more about what happened. thank you, dan. good to get your thoughts - more about what happened. thank you, dan. good to get your thoughts on - dan. good to get your thoughts on that. dan saba from the guardian newspaper. stock markets in the united states and europe have rebounded

after turbulence caused by the collapse last week of the california based silicon valley bank. several us lenders which suffered spectacular falls on monday have enjoyed dramatic gains in the latest trading. that comes as the boss of silicon valley bank announced that the bank is conducting "business as usual within the us". our business correspondent samira hussain explains exactly what has happened in the us and why the rest of the world is watching. one us bank collapsed, and then another, and now the american government has shut them both down, and the world is asking, is this the start of another financial crisis? silicon valley bank is a bank that specialises in lending money to tech companies. now, all their troubles started last week when the bank was trying to raise money and doing so fast. well, word got out. customers with money in the bank freaked and ran to go and try and take it all out. but with everybody doing the same thing at the same time, the bank ran out of cash. a tonne of tech companies use svb —

roblox, roku and even etsy. the knock—on effect would have been huge if svb failed. and remember the last time a us bank failed, back in 2008? it sparked a financial crisis in the us and it turned into a global recession, and nobody wants to see that happen again. so now, us regulators have stepped in and said, "ok, "whoever has cash at the bank, well, we're going to "guarantee that you'll have access to it." problem solved, right? hmm, not so fast. a bunch of smaller regional banks are seeing their share prices plummet. and that's because a lot of investors are asking, is this bank safe? or is this one also on the verge of collapse? samira hussain in new york. on the fallout from the silicon valley bank episode. joining me now is a columnist at the guardian,

hello to you david. how much was known about the situation with sv because mark known about the situation with sv because marl— because mark that's a great question- — because mark that's a great question. more _ because mark that's a great question. more certainly . because mark that's a great - question. more certainly should have been known. the regulators had a chance and had the power to know a lot more but of course before, in the years before the bank collapse, the years before the bank collapse, the bank was lobbying to reduce scrutiny on it from regulators. as we reported the banks president had actually personally pushed senators to raise the threshold where the limits on what kind of banks were scrutinised with stress test, with more granular regulations, and more stringent capital requirements. the bank president pressed the us senate to do that. in the us senate ultimately obliged into thousand 18, and the federal reserve similarly

obliged with less regulation because the bank argued that it was still too small to require those regulations. now when we're talking too small, we are talking about the 16th largest bank in the united states, so were talking about hundreds of billions of dollars. hour hundreds of billions of dollars. how did it manage _ hundreds of billions of dollars. how did it manage to _ hundreds of billions of dollars. how did it manage to persuade regulators to go easy on it give it one happened in 2008 when the financial system came close to collapse? it’s system came close to collapse? it's a treat system came close to collapse? it�*s a great question and it shows the power of the banking lobby in the united states and in politics and in congress. the banking lobby spent a lot of money on campaign contributions to pressure lawmakers to weaken the so—called dodd frank rules that had passed right after. the financial crisis. that's were talking about here. in 2015, 2016, that lobbying effort began where the banking industry was pushing to roll back some of the dodd frank regulations. in specific, they were trying to say that the original $50 billion threshold by which banks

would face tougher scrutiny, they tried to and were successful in raising that so that banks at the 5200 $250 billion level did not face those tougher restrictions. and look, the banks argued that they didn't want to face the paperwork, they didn't want to face the restrictions, that the restrictions would restrict them from lending money which would hurt the economy. that was their argument. hour money which would hurt the economy. that was their argument.— that was their argument. how is it that silicon — that was their argument. how is it that silicon valley bank— that was their argument. how is it that silicon valley bank and - that silicon valley bank and announced that business is conducting business at usual in the us in the moment's one are the repercussions going to be for quest marki repercussions going to be for quest mar r ~' ., mark i think the ferc and the regulatory — mark i think the ferc and the regulatory system _ mark i think the ferc and the regulatory system in - mark i think the ferc and the regulatory system in general| mark | think the ferc and the | regulatory system in general is designed to create continuity. and by that i mean if the bank fails, that the depositors and the like, but there to keep, to prevent a bank panic from happening all throughout the country. how this particular bank is still operating, that's a great question. but i think from the

purposes of depositors and their money, the thought that the biden administration is to try to create continuity so that people don't start, whether at this bank or other banks, similarly sized banks, don't start pulling their money out, fearing that their deposits are going to vanish and moving that moneyjust into the biggest of big banks. money 'ust into the biggest of big banks. , ., ., ., money 'ust into the biggest of big banks. , ., ., ,, money 'ust into the biggest of big banks. , ., . ~' i” money 'ust into the biggest of big banks. , ., ., ,, ., ,, banks. very good to talk you. thank ou so banks. very good to talk you. thank you so much — banks. very good to talk you. thank you so much david _ banks. very good to talk you. thank you so much david from _ banks. very good to talk you. thank you so much david from lever - banks. very good to talk you. thank you so much david from lever news| you so much david from lever news and also the guardian. now a few minutes ago, i brought you the news that a russian jet had collided with a us drone over the black sea. we've got a little bit more information. a russian fighterjet got a little bit more information. a russian fighter jet struck the propeller of a us military repo surveillance drone. we hear now from the white house that president biden has been briefed on the incident and the white house is saying that the drone incident was unsafe, unprofessional, and reckless. so clearly developing story here, and we will bring you more as we get it.

international pressure is growing on georgia to either release mikheil saa kash vi li, or allow outside medical aid to assess him. mr saakashvili is the country's former president. he's been serving a six year sentence in the capital tbilisi for abuse of power. some believe the charges are politically motivated. some believe the charges are politically motivated. but his health has been deteriorating and he's currently held in a hospital in the georgian capital tbilisi. his doctors say his ill health is due to an unhealthy diet. he did stage several hunger strikes, but there are fears he was poisoned. members of the european parliament in strasbourg today met with the former president's family and last month world leaders, including ukrainian president volodymyr zelensky, called for his release. our caucasus correspondent

rayhan demytrie gave us an update. well, mikheil saakashvili, georgia's third president, he returned from exile. after the end of his second term in 2013, he left georgia and he was in exile for eight years. he made a surprise return in october 2021, just on the eve of local elections here, and called for mass, kind of, protests and gatherings, anti—government protests. he was sentenced in absentia in 2018. so he was arrested immediately, jailed, and he went on hunger strike, on two lengthy hunger strikes that really damaged his health. his lawyers are saying that he's really on the verge of dying because of his medical conditions. so a few months ago, we'd been following a trial that was brought by his legal team. they'd asked a judge here

to release mikheil saakashvili on health grounds and mikheil saakashvili himself appeared via a video link at one of the court hearings, and when the nation saw the state he was in, people were shocked, notjust in georgia but outside georgia as well. his speech was impaired. he just looked like a shadow of his former self. but the authorities here, they and the judge presiding over that court hearing refused to release mikheil saakashvili on health grounds. the georgian authorities, they have been saying that this is all, kind of, a simulation, self—inflicted medical conditions, and they said that he is a criminal and he has to serve his time. they accused mikheil saakashvili

of faking itjust in order to get out ofjail. i'm joined now by eduard saakashvili, son of the former georgian president, and bill browder, human rights campaigner and the ceo of hermitage capital management. theyjoin us where they've been meeting members of the european parliament. first of all edouard if i can ask you, how was your father? when did you last see him? i actually last saw him unfortunately in the fall because they didn't let me in when i was in georgia in the winter. however, his condition is public knowledge at this point. we have seen footage that is very disturbing from the court appearance just some weeks ago and now we have reached a point where even the government hospital where he is being held recently held a press conference saying his life is really

in danger and his health is hiding in danger and his health is hiding in a very bad direction. so we are past the point where the government is denying that he is sick. now they are saying yes he is sick, his life is in danger, but were going to blame him for. which is very disturbing, but at least we have some agreement now that the situation really is quite dire. to ut situation really is quite dire. to put it in some sort of perspective, he has lost half his body weight apparently. what is he saying to you? to apparently. what is he saying to ou? ., , _ ., you? to me, he is saying that he really wasn't- — you? to me, he is saying that he really wasn't. i _ you? to me, he is saying that he really wasn't. i think _ you? to me, he is saying that he really wasn't. i think he - you? to me, he is saying that he really wasn't. i think he wasn't . really wasn't. i think he wasn't expecting that this was how he was going to be treated. wooding and one thing, but this is a completely different model of mistreatment and abuse. his priority right now is just to find some way to bring awareness to his case and that maybe there is a hope they are that with enough awareness, with enough international attention, the georgia government could be incentivised to do the right thing. that's our hope.

so when somebody like president zelenskyy at a press conference directly calls for his release, that is very helpful. for this cause. that's ultimately what this is about. it's him in his life. so things like that to give me some hope. things like that to give me some ho e. ., , things like that to give me some ho e, ., , , , ., things like that to give me some hoe. ., , , , ., ., hope. you must be very worried for him. yes, — hope. you must be very worried for him. yes, definitely. _ hope. you must be very worried for him. yes, definitely. and _ hope. you must be very worried for him. yes, definitely. and it's - him. yes, definitely. and it's difficult because _ him. yes, definitely. and it's difficult because there - him. yes, definitely. and it's difficult because there is - him. yes, definitely. and it's| difficult because there is only him. yes, definitely. and it's i difficult because there is only so much you can do. we can hold these meetings, raise awareness, but ultimately it's up to the georgian government, which is a black box. we don't know exactly what they are basing their decisions on. but if they don't do this than i do fear that the outcome will be bad. our worst fears will be realised, and maybe soon. worst fears will be realised, and maybe soon-— worst fears will be realised, and maybe soon. worst fears will be realised, and ma be soon. �* , ,, maybe soon. bill, can i bring you in here? so you are _ maybe soon. bill, can i bring you in here? so you are helping _ maybe soon. bill, can i bring you in here? so you are helping the - maybe soon. bill, can i bring you in| here? so you are helping the family in their campaign to get help for mikheil saakashvili. what sort of reception had you had today? itrefoil reception had you had today? well this is a shocking _ reception had you had today? well

that decision like we are and make it unavoidable because mark so i think any political awareness, we had several resolutions here in the european parliament, i think those things to help move us in that direction. but yeah, it's more urgent than that, maybe. and there is a question of time.— is a question of time. thank you both very _ is a question of time. thank you both very much _ is a question of time. thank you both very much indeed for - is a question of time. thank you | both very much indeed for talking is a question of time. thank you - both very much indeed for talking to us. let's go back now to that breaking news that a us drone has collided with a russian jet over the black sea. we can go straight to our correspondent, james landau, who is in care for us. james, just bring us up—to—date with what is happened and what sort of reaction there is been. well, at the moment the ukrainian authorities are seeking confirmation of precisely what is happening. the main source of information at the moment is from the americans, who have put out a statement saying that around seven o'clock local time over the black sea one of their reapers,

unmanned drone, was carrying out its usual business, mainly surveillance. and to russian warplanes, su 27th, fighterjets, long range fighter jets, started coming up close." the americans, they behaved and what they described as a reckless environmentally unsound unprofessional manner. why did they say that because not because the americans claimed that these fighter jets dumped fuel on the american reaper and then they flew in front of it in a reckless and unprofessional way, and during that process, one of the russian aircraft clipped the propeller of the reaper and it brought down the american drone. that had to be ditched in the sea. and the americans are clearly not very happy about this and they are accusing the russian pilots of being unprofessional and very dangerous. being unprofessional and very dangerous-—

interference, they clipped it. but it shows just how dangerous this part of the world is now. there are an awful lot ofjets and warplanes from all sides and those guys. clearly, an incident has now taken place. clearly, an incident has now taken lace. �* ., , ., , clearly, an incident has now taken place. james, any reaction yet from the ukrainian _ place. james, any reaction yet from the ukrainian government? - place. james, any reaction yet from the ukrainian government? no, - place. james, any reaction yet from | the ukrainian government? no, they have said that _ the ukrainian government? no, they have said that they _ the ukrainian government? no, they have said that they are _ the ukrainian government? no, they have said that they are looking - the ukrainian government? no, they have said that they are looking into l have said that they are looking into it. they are looking for confirmation as to what happened over there. they obviously are hugely reliant on western intelligence, particularly the americans, so they will be expecting, i imagine to get a briefing from the americans as soon as possible. at the end of course all the diplomatic channels will be reaching out to their russian counterparts, saying what was happening, why did this happen, and what are you going to do about it? thank you. that's our correspondent james mandel they are, life terrace. and for those of you who mightjust bejoining, james was and for those of you who mightjust be joining, james was telling us about an incident that has just been reported in the last hour or so

which is that a russian jet has collided with a us drone over the black sea. much more on this to come. you are watching the bbc news. hello. this week we've got some very big suite from one to to the next. last week we had temperatures double figures, whereas today it has been about nine celsius gober than that. for example, boomer14 about nine celsius gober than that. for example, boomer 1a yesterday, five this afternoon. dropping temperatures has brought much colder air and temperatures has brought much colder airand intern we temperatures has brought much colder air and intern we have seen some snowfall over the staff which are moors again here, and here at low levels in the carlyle area. so across parts of northern island, southern scotland, northern england, we have seem some snow getting down to quite low elevations. a few showers pushing across the midlands, east anglia, but clearing later in the night with clear skies and then following, well we are looking at a

widespread shark frost in our towns and cities. temperatures widely between —2 and minus six celsius. where we have seen no showers, there is a risk of some icy stretches to start the day on wednesday. otherwise, it should be a fine start with lots of sunshine. in the west, we will see cloud thicken in northern ireland, outbreaks of rain, we might even seem just a little bit of snow on the forward edge of this weather system but ultimately the air is turning milder and northern island, so any snow will be transient. it will turn back to rain. however, during wednesday evening time, we could see some more troublesome snowjust evening time, we could see some more troublesome snow just for a troublesome snowjust for a time across parts of northern england and scotland. the snow potentially could come down to quite low elevations, but it's across the hills and particular to the north of the central belt that we will probably see the snow last and longest. as we go through wednesday night, again, we are going to see milder air pollution from the southwest. by the end of the night, most places will

have temperatures above freezing. for thursday, have temperatures above freezing. forthursday, friday, have temperatures above freezing. for thursday, friday, and a week and beyond, this area of low pressure is going to be in charge. the weather unsettled, and with those south—westerly winds feeding and it will be turning a lot milder. that mild air will will be turning a lot milder. that mild airwill be will be turning a lot milder. that mild air will be arriving for most parts of the united kingdom on thursday although it will be accompanied by brisk winds and some heavy outbreaks of rain. temperatures will be climbing to around 12 to 1a degrees pretty widely, so very mild for this time of year. called their hasn't quite left our shores, just three celsius. the friday in the weekend, generally it is going to be on the wild side without breaks up wayne at time but the cold they are never far away across the north of scotland. there are signs it could start moving southwards again early next week.

wales between october 2021 and march 2022. 1300 to 1500 were acute —— is active. wayne couzens, the police officer who kidnapped, raped and murdered sarah everard. david carrick, like couzens, a firearms officer with the metropolitan force, and a serial rapist. their crimes have shone a spotlight on the issue of officers suspected and accused of violence against women and girls, and how they're dealt with. this woman's former partner is a firearms officer with the west yorkshire force. alice, and this is not her real name to protect her identity, says he subjected her to sexual violence and emotional abuse. i think it's scary. the fact that he's had little control of himself and then being able to go to work and get a loaded gun out and be actually because clearly, you think he should not be a serving police officer? i think he's a very dangerous individual.

alice says she made a series of complaints about her ex—partner to west yorkshire police, but she says no action was taken. after the bbc asked the force for a response, he was suspended. the force says it's referred its conduct in alice's case to the police watchdog, and it stressed its commitment to tackling violence against women and girls. when it comes to complaints, today's report by police chiefs shows that over a six—month period, more than 1,500 officers and staff were accused of violence against women and girls. just 13 people were or would have been sacked, and where cases were finalised, 91% of complaints from the public resulted in no further action. we're looking at everything from perhaps use of force when a woman is arrested through to rape, domestic abuse, something much more serious. through to rape, domestic abuse, so, in a six—month period, it's often easier to wrap

up an investigation, and understand the outcome of it. and understand the outcome of it, where something is very serious, it takes a lot longer to investigate. police chiefs say forces have to do more to tackle all violence against women and girls. it's basically ptsd... in barnsley, deborahjones has set up a support group, resolute, to help women who've suffered domestic abuse. all of the women at this meeting have to be anonymous for their own safety. they share their experiences of dealing with the police. i found out in october who the officer was in charge of my investigation. i didn't get any more contact from her untiljanuary. she didn't respond to any of my messages. he assaulted me, tried to strangle me, and i was covered in bruises on my neck and my chest. a member of the public called the police, but the police didn't even take me back home. how did you think you were treated as in terms of things being explained to you, what was happening? the police officer that i had at first admitted

to me that she wasn't i domestic violence trained. to me that she weren't- domestic violence trained. she were firearms. the second one, she was a lot better, but the first one, i it was just horrendous. their local force, south yorkshire, says it's regularly listening to victims and delivering specialised training to growing numbers of officers and staff. june kelly, bbc news. joining me to discuss this is the chief executive of women's aid, which works to provide services to women suffering of use. very disturbing testimony given there. how often do you get contacted by women who say that they received physical abuse from men who work in the police force? tt’s physical abuse from men who work in the police force?— the police force? it's not uncommon. we run direct — the police force? it's not uncommon. we run direct services _ the police force? it's not uncommon. we run direct services which - the police force? it's not uncommon. we run direct services which support| we run direct services which support survivors, women experiencing domestic abuse, and we hear it fairly often. perpetrators are

train and failure to take it seriously and understand that this is a serious crime that needs to be dealt with internally within the force and dealt with externally. we see half1 million crimes pertaining to violence against women and girls taking place over that six month period. only 6% of them came to any conclusion. period. only 696 of them came to any conclusion. ~ . �* . period. only 696 of them came to any conclusion. ~ ., �* , ,., period. only 696 of them came to any conclusion-— conclusion. what's so shocking about this tickler study _ conclusion. what's so shocking about this tickler study is _ conclusion. what's so shocking about this tickler study is that _ conclusion. what's so shocking about this tickler study is that it _ conclusion. what's so shocking about this tickler study is that it does i this tickler study is that it does involve —— particular study is that it does involve men who work either as officers or as staff in police forces. do you think there is any sense in which force are protecting their own? ~ ~' , ., their own? well, i think where you see a stat saying _ their own? well, i think where you see a stat saying that _ their own? well, i think where you see a stat saying that 9196 - their own? well, i think where you see a stat saying that 9196 of i see a stat saying that 91% of cases go nowhere, there is no conclusion, you have to be draw conclusion on what's going on there. i think the inspectorate very much points to the

need for vetting and proper and meaningful investigations into misconduct, primarily id, but forces where the person is based. that is a very obvious first step. nobody should be marking their own homework. the police absolutely need to embrace this and they need to start it now. what we can't have more of is report after report telling us what need to be done. we need better reporting, we need reporting forced by force on how the forces are doing against the recommendations set out by their own inspectorate and we need to see consistent training and we need to see police prioritising, ending violence against women externally and within the force, but that won't happen unless police chiefs prioritise it and the government invests in it.— prioritise it and the government invests in it. very good to talk to ou, invests in it. very good to talk to

specifically provided for. but it would be an unprecedented removal for a nonnuclear weapon to actually use those provisions. stand for a nonnuclear weapon to actually use those provisions.— use those provisions. and that is the fear that _ use those provisions. and that is the fear that it _ use those provisions. and that is the fear that it sets _ use those provisions. and that is the fear that it sets a _ use those provisions. and that is| the fear that it sets a precedent? that's my fear. as i said before, as ijust that's my fear. as i said before, as i just said that's my fear. as i said before, as ijust said now, no nonnuclear weapon state has ever removed nuclear materials to safeguards to the purpose of naval reactors. that is permitted by the safeguards agreement, that is something i think sets a very bad precedent. i'm not concerned that australia will material to manufacture nuclear weapons. i am material to manufacture nuclear weapons. iam concerned material to manufacture nuclear weapons. i am concerned that countries with more nefarious plans will invoke the australia precedent, will invoke the australia precedent, will say that they're removing nuclear material, but then we use

australia will get the most capable submarines in the world. after? australia will get the most capable submarines in the world. very good to talk to you- _ submarines in the world. very good to talk to you. thank _ submarines in the world. very good to talk to you. thank you _ submarines in the world. very good to talk to you. thank you very i submarines in the world. very good l to talk to you. thank you very much, james acton from the carnegie nuclear policy programme. certain cough medicines served behind counters have been withdrawal over safety concern. experts say it is rare to experience a reaction link to it. let's be sure health correspondent, michelle roberts. the correspondent, michelle roberts. tta: ingredient correspondent, michelle roberts. t"'ta: ingredient is correspondent, michelle roberts. t'ta: ingredient is pocketing, correspondent, michelle roberts. t“ta: ingredient is pocketing, and it's in quite a few remedies. —— val codeine. and the reason that regulators are now saying they shouldn't be sold any more is because of this very, very rare risk. but it's potentially serious. what they've noticed in some of the

technology to heat the water and cut down on carbon emissions. and this is where the magic happens. so, here it is, this is a deep green unit with the computers with the computers immersed in oil. so, when you put stuff in the cloud, they could end up on a data centre like this? exactly that, yeah. so, we all rely on the cloud in our everyday lives, for your online banking or doing your tesco order. the trouble is the computers in those data centres which run the cloud generate enormous amounts of heat, so data centres have to get rid of that heat somehow. most of the time, thatjust gets thrown into the atmosphere. this system is different, where we're immersing the computers in oil and flowing that oil into a heat exchanger to give the pool free hot water. energy costs have gone through the roof... exmouth leisure centre says that, like business all around the country, it's had to deal with astronomical rises in its energy bills. they've gone up from 18,000 to 80,000 in a year. they say this new technology will bring them big savings. we're hoping that this

will bring a significant reduction in our gas costs, maybe 50, 60%, so potentially 40, £50,000 a year of savings. we need to be doing this stuff going forward, i particularly in the current climate as well and particularly, - with the financial strain we have, and pools shutting _ all over the country. it sounds excellent, it sounds excellent. if it saves their bills, if it brings down their bills, fine. a really good idea, cos i got very cold getting in there yesterday morning. i squealed! the governing body swim england has warned more than 100 pools across the country are under threat of closure or reduced services because of high running costs. the sector has welcomed today's announcement of £63 million of government funding to help. this funding is brilliant, it's really helpful. it will allow us to look at investing in additional technology as well as the deep green technology, things such as air source heat pumps, so that we can move away from gas entirely within the pool in the next year or two.

seven other pools in england have also signed up to the heating scheme used here. the company behind it feel they're offering an innovative solution that can help keep the nation's leisure centres financially afloat. jenny kumah, bbc news, exmouth. much more coming up on the hour. just tell you of some news that is broken in this hour — a russian fighterjet has hit a us military drone over the black sea. the drone is a reaper drone. us— european command said a pair of soviet europe fired herjet intercepted the surveillance drone. don't fuel on it and damaged it so badly that us controllers had to ditch it. a serious situation there. much more coming up for serious situation there. much more

pressure will be in charge. whether unsettled and with those winds feeding in, it will be turning a lot milder. mild air will be coming for most parts of the united kingdom on thursday. it will be accompanied by brisk winds and some heavy outbreaks of rain. temperatures climbing to around 12—14 degrees widely, so very mild for the time of year. cold air hasn't left our shores. later rick is just three celsius. lerwick ——. there are signs that could move south her again.
