been struck by the warmth of the friendship between our nations. some of the biggest names in technology call for a pause in the development of advanced artificial intelligence — warning it could be a threat to humanity. and one of the biggest animals ever to walk the earth — the skeleton of a patagotitan dinosaur is the latest addition to london's natural history museum. welcome to our viewers on pbs in america and around the globe. we begin with a developing story from rome, where pope francis has been admitted to hospital with what's being described as a respiratory infection. the vatican says the 86—year—old is not suffering from covid but has been experiencing breathing difficulties in recent days

and that he'll spend a few nights under medical supervision. it comes at the busiest time of the year for the pontiff, with easterjust next week. our reporter sofia bettiza joins me now. what bettiza joins me now. is the latest on the pope? pope what is the latest on the pope? pope francis was taken to hospital on wednesday afternoon because of breathing difficulties that he has had the days now. he is more exposed to the sort of problems because in his early 20s he had part of his lung removed. the vatican released a statement, they said that pope francis has a lung infection but as you mention he does not have covid. he will have to spend a few daysin he will have to spend a few days in hospital and some of his closest staff will spend the night with him. now, initially, the vatican actually said this was part of a scheduled checkup but italian media reported that he actually got to hospital in an ambulance and he had to cancel a tv

interview at the last minute. now, the last time pope francis was seen by people was earlier that day when he attended his weekly event in st peter's church and he seemed on really good form, he was interacting with the crowd, but when he was helped back into his car, he was photographed grimacing and group —— visibly in pain. this group -- visibly in pain. this is a busy _ group -- visibly in pain. this is a busy time _ group -- visibly in pain. this is a busy time for _ group -- visibly in pain. this is a busy time for the - group —— visibly in pain. this is a busy time for the pope with easter next weekend and many events scheduled to take place. many events scheduled to take lace. ~ , ., ., ., place. will they go ahead? the busiest time _ place. will they go ahead? the busiest time for _ place. will they go ahead? the busiest time for the _ place. will they go ahead? the busiest time for the pope - place. will they go ahead? the busiest time for the pope and l busiest time for the pope and pope francis has a lot of events scheduled next week. what we do know is all of his commitments for the next two days have been cancelled so it is very possible he won't be able to do everything that he was hoping to do. he is also planning to visit hungary in april, that might not happen. he will be disappointed because even though pope francis has to use a wheelchair and has

mobility problems, he is still very active. last month, he went to south sudan and the dsa. �* ., , went to south sudan and the dsa. ~ ., , ., , ., dsa. are there any thoughts on whether the _ dsa. are there any thoughts on whether the pope _ dsa. are there any thoughts on whether the pope might - whether the pope might potentially resign? aha, whether the pope might potentially resign? a few years a . o, potentially resign? a few years a . 0, this potentially resign? a few years ago. this was _ potentially resign? a few years ago, this was unthinkable - potentially resign? a few years ago, this was unthinkable but i ago, this was unthinkable but when his predecessor resigned, he became the first pope in centuries to do so and he said that was because of his poor health, because he could no longer go on, there's been a lot of speculation in the italian media and web vatican insiders that he set a precedent and normalise the idea of the pope stepping down. pope francis did indicate that he would be open to the idea of resigning if his health were to deteriorate.— resigning if his health were to deteriorate. thank you for the u date, deteriorate. thank you for the update. we — deteriorate. thank you for the update, we will _ deteriorate. thank you for the update, we will of _ deteriorate. thank you for the update, we will of course - deteriorate. thank you for the update, we will of course be l update, we will of course be watching that story. prosecutors in mexico say they're treating the deaths of 39 migrants in a fire

at a detention centre as suspected homicides. eight suspects have been identified, they're accused of doing nothing to evacuate the victims. it comes after unverified footage emerged appearing to show the fire starting at the facility in, ciudad juarez. i'll warn you, you may find the images upsetting. uniformed officials seem to walk away as the blaze erupts in a corner, leaving a group of men behind in what appears to be a locked cell. it then shows their unsuccessful attempts to escape. the 32—second clip appears to come from a security camera inside the facility run by mexico's national migration institute. our correspondent in mexico city will grant has more. well, the footage isjust one of the questions, it's perhaps the key one at this stage. it appears to have been leaked to the media in ciudad juarez, and certainly the government hasn't denied its veracity — which i would've imagined they would've done that by now if there was any doubt about it. it appears to show very serious questions about the behaviour of the guards in that detention centre. at one point, at least one

of the migrants attempts to kick the door open, he's obviously not successful in that, and there are guards walking around outside the cell. they then leave when the flames get too severe, and that is the question that a lot ofjournalists are asking. and when they asked the president at his daily press briefing, he accused them of being more interested in sensationalism than in the pain and well—being of the trapped migrants. so yeah, that's one of the many questions swirling around — including, of course, why these people had been detained in the first place. many of them had been sent back to being trapped in mexico under the "remain in mexico" programme — part of the biden administration's migration policy that states you must wait in mexico for your court date to appear in the us. king charles has been attending a state banquet

in berlin on the first day of his official visit to germany. he's vowed to strengthen the ties between the two countries and became the first head of state since the second world war to be honoured with a full ceremonial and military welcome at the brandenburg gate. his first overseas trip as monarch was supposed to have begun in france but protests against raising the pension age meant that was postponed. a warning this report from our royal correspondent nicholas witchell contains flashing images. white tie and tiaras for the state banquet. but don't be too dazzled by all the diamonds and decorations — the first state visit of king charles�*s reign represents a serious mission set by the british government. the focus is europe, the setting is berlin, and the king's language initially was german. es ist wunderbar heute in abend in so grosse gesellschaft su sein. then, in english, this commitment. throughout the time

that is granted to me as king, i will do all i can to strengthen the connections between us. and this on ukraine. we stand side by side in protecting and advancing our shared democratic values. this is epitomised so clearly today as we stand together with ukraine in defence of freedom and sovereignty in the face of unprovoked aggression. the king had received the first full ceremonial welcome at the brandenburg gate for any state visitor. he inspected the guard of honour, standard fare for a state visit, but it's the subtext on these occasions that matters, and that is very clear. state visits are all about the big picture, the core elements in the relationship between the host and the visiting nation. in this instance, of course, with the uk now outside the eu,

it's all about the bonds, the links that remain. it's about shared histories and shared values. friendship between two european nations. i hope you don't have to stand here too long. no, it's fine. it's a message which will be repeated when the king becomes the first british monarch to address the german federal parliament. nicholas witchell, bbc news, berlin. the un general assembly has adopted a resolution asking the world's top court to define countries obligations to combat climate change. the vote was greeted by cheers. although not legally binding, the sponsors are hoping an opinion from the international court ofjustice will drive countries to take stronger measures and clarify international law. this resolution follows a four—year campaign led by the pacific island nation of vanuatu. vanuatu's prime minister ishmael kalsakau said the vote represented a win for climate

justice of epic proportions. i celebrate today with the people of vanuatu who are still reeling from the devastation with two back—to—back cyclones this month, caused by the fossil fuels and greenhouse emissions that they are not responsible for. joining me now is leah stokes, associate professor of political science at the university of california, santa barbara. thank you for taking the time to come onto the programme. how significant is this resolution, considering that it is not legally binding?- considering that it is not legally binding? considering that it is not leaall bindina? ~ ., legally binding? well, what the resolution does _ legally binding? well, what the resolution does is _ legally binding? well, what the resolution does is it _ legally binding? well, what the resolution does is it asks - legally binding? well, what the resolution does is it asks the i resolution does is it asks the international court ofjustice, which is a really important body, to take up the issue of climate change and to issue an advisory opinion, to say two

countries have an obligation under international law to do something about climate change? and that kind of advisory opinion could trickle down into the decisions are made in international climate negotiations and even into domestic legal conflict in, for example, europe or the united states or in other countries around the world, so it is a really big deal because it really big deal because it really starts to set up and accelerate legal action on climate change internationally. this has been for years in the making with vinyl leading the charge of this,. making with vinyl leading the charge of this, ._ making with vinyl leading the charge of this,. climate change is already happening, - charge of this,. climate change is already happening, we - charge of this,. climate change is already happening, we have | is already happening, we have already warmed the planet by 1.2 celsius and we are well on track to hit the 1.5 centigrade target which small island nations pushed so hard to be the target, because this

warming leads to sea level rises, increased cyclones and hurricane is, there is really dramatically impacting low—lying nations. there are saltwater intrusion into freshwater, literally the land being submerged into the ocean, so these countries are poised to potentially lose their entire homeland so it is a really existential threat if we do not stop burning fossil fuels and take on the climate crisis. ~ ., , fuels and take on the climate crisis. ~ . , , ., , crisis. we have seen people beain crisis. we have seen people begin to _ crisis. we have seen people begin to take _ crisis. we have seen people begin to take legal- crisis. we have seen people begin to take legal action i begin to take legal action against governments, do you think this resolution will make much of a difference? i think this resolution will make much of a difference?- much of a difference? i think it well. these _ much of a difference? i think it well. these things - much of a difference? i think it well. these things take - much of a difference? i think. it well. these things take time but we have seen for example the paris agreement on climate change, you know, which is in some sense voluntary and non—binding, it is starting to trickle down into what countries are doing, so we have seen countries pledge to cut emissions in half this decade to try to put the entire world on track to 1.5 degrees. and if we didn't have that, we

wouldn't be making progress at the same pace.— the same pace. leah stokes, thank you — the same pace. leah stokes, thank you very _ the same pace. leah stokes, thank you very much - the same pace. leah stokes, thank you very much for - the same pace. leah stokes, thank you very much for youri thank you very much for your time. ., ~' ,, thank you very much for your time. . ~ i. ., ., time. thank you for having me on. some of technology's biggest names — among them elon musk — are calling for a pause in the development of powerful artificial intelligence, warning of profound risks to society and even a threat to humanity. our technology editor, zoe kleinman, has more details. there are lots of ai products being released by the tech companies at the moment. and the reason is there is a lot of money involved and nobody wants to get left behind. but there are concerns that we don't yet have the right safety nets to protect us. what do we need protecting from? well, number one, as this ai gets more advanced, there are concerns it will start acting more independently and it will be more difficult for humans to control. the second point is there are already concerns that, really quite soon, it could start taking over a lot of ourjobs. and that would leave us with far fewer ways to make money. and the third thing, we already know that al can be biased, it can discriminate,

it can share misinformation as if it was facts. it can make up photorealistic images of things that never happened, and that could be a really big problem in society. stay with us on bbc news, still to come... why the sportswear company adidas has withdrawn its opposition to a black lives matter trademark application. the accident that happened here was of the sort that can, at worst, produce a meltdown. in this case, the precautions worked, but not quite well enough to prevent some old fears about the safety features of these stations from resurfacing. the republic of ireland has become the first country in the world to ban smoking in the workplace. from today, anyone lighting up in offices, businesses, pubs and restaurants will face a heavy fine.

the president was on his way out of the washington hilton hotel, where he had been addressing a trade union conference. the small crowd outside included his assailant. it has become - a symbol of paris. 100 years ago, many parisians| wished it had never been built. the eiffel tower's birthday is- being marked by a re—enactment of the first ascent by gustave eiffel. - this is bbc news, the latest headlines... the vatican says pope francis is spending a few days in hospital in rome — to be treated for a respiratory infection. the un adopts a resolution asking the world's highest court to define the obligation of countries, to combat climate change. adidas has dropped its opposition to a three—striped design used by the black lives matter group. the sportswear company had initially asked us regulators to deny blm a trademark on a logo that featured three

parallel yellow stripes, arguing it would create confusion with the three—stripe design it has used for over 70 years. for more, stephanie prenticejoins me now. stephanie, prenticejoins me now. what more do we know about stephanie, what more do we know about this? well, the problem here is that adidas is extremely protective of that three stripe logo and it rings its logo is far too similar to the black lives matter one, and it could cause confusion for people buying its products and suggest commercial alignment between the two. i think we can look at the two of them side by side. these three angle stripes are the cornerstone of its branding and sportswear empire, they appear on many of its products, and black lives matter have been using their logo for around a few years, they applied to trade market in 2020, and that would have given them far more scope for merchandise, including apparel.

i look like initially there would be a fight but all of a sudden adidas drew back. min; sudden adidas drew back. why have they announced, have been as the reason? the have they announced, have been as the reason?— as the reason? the statement was very official, _ as the reason? the statement was very official, i _ as the reason? the statement was very official, i said - as the reason? the statement was very official, i said they . was very official, i said they will withdrawal opposition, they didn't give any tangible reasons as to why. some branding experts had been speculating about this, they said any sort of opposition to black lives matters could be seen as opposition to the movement, ratherthan seen as opposition to the movement, rather than any commercial issues and ties, and they could be speculation that they could be speculation that they thought they could lose it because they have lost things like this in the past. this isn't the _ like this in the past. this isn't the first _ like this in the past. this isn't the first time - like this in the past. this isn't the first time they l like this in the past. this isn't the first time they have lost any type of case against defending their logo, it is happened quite a few times. adidas have been using this logo for around 70 years and it would seem that as the years have gone on, they have ran up increasingly protectionist agenda about it. there have been lawsuits and they had signed more than 200 settlement

agreements with similar sort of issues. it is worth bearing in mind the company has been speaking about taking financial hits, they had a big collaboration with kanye west they had to pull back from and in january they lost a they had to pull back from and injanuary they lost a similar case with a luxury brand with —— called tom brown. thejudge rules in tom brown's favour, said it was different markets and thejudge ruled in their favour. this is perhaps about choosing their battles and saving their money on this one. let's take a look at some other stories in the headlines.... president biden is to visit the mississippi town of rolling fork on friday. the town was devastated by a tornado last week which killed 26 people. mr biden and his wife jill will meet first responders and people affected by the deadly storm.

the world football authority, fifa, has stripped indonesia of the right to host this year's under—twenty world cup tournament, due to start in less than two months. it said the decision was taken after the governor of bali refused to host the israeli football squad. the queen consort has led the tributes to the presenter and entertainer paul 0'grady who died at the age of 67. his husband says he died unexpectedly but peacefully last night. sir eltonjohn thanked him for all thejoy he brought into the world. 0ur entertainment correspondent colin paterson has more. good evening. look at this t—shirt — "lil" — dead common. the brilliance of paul 0'grady. he may have broken through with a radical, subversive drag act, but he ended up being trusted with such cosy institutions as blankety blank, an itv teatime show and a sunday afternoon slot on radio 2. and he was even loved by royalty. last year, the queen consort appeared on his programme for the love of dogs, in a special celebration of the battersea dogs and cats home. today, she was one of the first to pay tribute, saying she was deeply saddened to hear of his death and he had provided lots of laughter

and waggy—tailed memories. his death was a real shock, as he was on stage playing miss hannigan in annie as recently as saturday night in edinburgh. paul was born to either be on a stage, be behind a radio microphone, be on a camera. he was meant to entertain people and that's what he did right up until last saturday night. he was one of the cleverest people i've ever worked with. his brain for comedy was quite remarkable. there was only one paul 0'grady and there will only ever be one. this is where paul 0'grady grew up, holly grove in birkenhead on the wirral, and, in the centre of the town, people were still coming to terms with the news. i can't believe it. everyone around here... everyone in birkenhead has got something to say about how he'll be so missed. he was down to earth, a man of the people and he just loved animals, didn't he? i think that's what it was. that battersea programme was amazing. he was a lovely, lovely man

and he will be sadly missed. paul 0'grady was a care worker in london when he created his alter ego — the scouse powerhouse, lily savage. he was still a prominent gay rights activist and inspired a whole new generation of drag queens. i remember watching paul 0'grady as a kid, and as a young gay boy to sit there and see something of yourself on television, it meant things were 0k and it meant i could dream to do that as well. it's a really sad day. he broadcast his final radio 2 show after 1a years last august and signed off in the manner which made him so loved by so many. you look after yourselves, yeah? stay safe and well. ta—ra, everyone. the entertainer, paul 0'grady, whose died at the age, of 67. one of the biggest animals ever to walk the earth is about to go on display at the natural history museum in london. or a likeness of one, anyway.

the patagotitan dinosaur was discovered nearly ten years ago in argentina. a replica skeleton will go on show so that the public can touch it and walk beneath its very big bones. 0ur science editor rebecca morelle has the story. piece by piece, bone by colossal bone, a creature from 100 million years ago begins to emerge. this is patagotitan, one of the largest dinosaurs ever to walk the earth. assembling this dinosaur is like putting together a giant 3d jigsaw puzzle. there are more than 500 bones and fixings but no instruction manual. this beast measures 37 metres from the tip of its nose all the way down to its tail, and it just about squeezes into this room with a few twists and turns along the way. the titanosaur is a cast, an exact replica of the original fossilised bones, and getting a creature like this into a 140—year—old

building has been a challenge. we have had to take some of the doors off in order to get the crates and different parts of the dinosaur in, and some of the bones and the cast itself are quite heavy so we've had to reinforce our floors. that sense of awe at standing under one of the largest animals to have walked on land and trying to imagine it as a living, breathing creature is, yeah, it's amazing. the bones were unearthed at a ranch in patagonia, in argentina just over a decade ago. as scientists got to grips with the scale of their find, they were joined by sir david attenborough. he also got a chance to see what this titan of the cretaceous period might have looked like. now the exhibition is complete, the dinosaur is ready for its moment in the spotlight. one of the first things you notice is the huge toothy grin with these pencil—like teeth. they are constantly on the move, would have been

just feeding machines. constantly using those heads to stuff more and more leaves and twigs and so on into its bodyjust in order to keep it moving around. patagotitan still holds some mysteries. no one knows why these creatures grew so big or how they came to die out, but their size and their success for millions of years puts our own existence into sharp perspective. rebecca morelle, bbc news. a 13—year—old boy from south west england who has spent three years camping in his garden to raise money for a local hospice has set a guinness world record for the largest sum raised by camping. this was max woosey aged 10 shortly after he started camping out in his garden everynight in 2020. and this is him now a teenager who has raised more than £750,000, who has finally decided it's time to move back to his bedroom.

i think the main goal was to try and raise as much money for the hospice as i could... yep. ..and i knew that i wouldn't let myself stop. i knew that if i stopped at, say, two—and—a—half years, i'd be, "that's not good enough." i'd be beating myself up, saying, "why couldn't you push yourself a little bit further?" a reminder of our top story.... pope francis has been admitted to hospital with what is being described as a respiratory infection. the vatican says the 86—year—old is not suffering from covid but has been experiencing breathing difficulties for a few days and will spend a few nights under medical supervision. will spend a few nights under medicalsupervision. he will spend a few nights under medical supervision. he was pictured on his way to hospital here, this raises questions over next week's easter events with it usually being the pope's busiest time of year. thank you for your company, you can reach me on twitter.

hello there. there's still some more rain to come through the rest of this week — at least it has turned milder. on wednesday, temperatures reached 16 celsius in northern ireland, and in southwest france, 30 celsius on wednesday. this early spring warmth will come to an end as we change the month, we change the weather. temperatures will drop, but it should be turning drier. the overnight heavy rain across england and wales, the last of it clearing away from northern england early in the morning. and then, we'll find some sunny spells, but showers will develop quite widely, some of them heavy with some hail and thunder, particularly central and eastern parts of england. still got a south—westerly breeze, it's still mild — may well be a little bit warmer than it was on wednesday in scotland. and before those heavy showers arrive, 17 celsius is possible in eastern england. those heavy showers do fade away quickly in the evening, but only because it'll get wet and windy here from the southwest.

we've got this area of low pressure — quite a deep one, that'll track across southern parts of the uk, strengthening the winds overnight, bringing some heavy rain to england and wales, as well. the winds could be gusting 50—60mph or more in the south coast of england, perhaps into south wales. the winds do gradually ease down on friday. the rain continues across these southern areas. could see some rain coming back towards northern ireland, the rest of the uk seeing a few showers, but probably a lot of cloud coming in on that easterly breeze from off the north sea. temperatures will be lower — top number this time, 1a celsius, and that's more likely in sheltered western parts of scotland. heading into the weekend, the start of april, and it continues to cool down a bit, but it should be turning drier as the weekend goes on with more sunshine. that area of low pressure will move away, we'll be stuck with that weather front for a while — that gets killed off by pressure rising during the second half of the weekend. first half of the weekend, though, sees a lot of cloud around.

and we've still got some patchy rain across northern ireland, wales, into southern england, maybe a few showers coming in from off the north sea on a chilly breeze. not going to feel very warm at all, i think, on saturday across eastern scotland and the northeast of england, and typical temperatures will be 11—12 celsius. second half of the weekend — there's not much rain left over, just this band of cloud, and we should see some drier air coming in this time. that will hopefully mean more in the way of sunshine. the winds will be a bit lighter, as well, but still, temperatures below average, typically 10—13 celsius.

this is bbc news, the headlines: pope francis has been taken to hospital in rome where he's being treated for a respiratory infection. the vatican has said the pontiff, who's 86, had been struggling with "breathing difficulties" and would spend a few days receiving treatment but had not contracted covid. the united nations general assembly has adopted a resolution asking the world's hightest court to define highest court to define countries obligations to combat climate change. delgates said they hope the vote, which is not legally binding, will drive countries to take stronger measures and clarify international law. prosecutors in mexico say they have identified eight suspects in connection with the deadly fire at a detention centre close to the us border. the decision came after footage emerged that appeared to show
