"extraordinary hospitality". over all these years and in so many ways, i have 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. a little earlier, i spoke to our reporter sofia bettiza, who gave me an update on the pope's health. he is more exposed to these sorts of breathing difficulties because he had part of a lung removed in his early 20s. now, the vatican has released a statement that says he has a lung infection, but not covid. he will have to spend a few days in hospital and some of his closest staff will spend the night with him. now originally, the vatican had said this was part of a scheduled checkup, but italian media reported that he actually got to the hospital in an ambulance and he had to cancel an interview at the last minute. now, the last time he was seen

in public was earlier that day when he participated in his weekly audience in st peter's square and he seemed on good form, but when he was being helped into his car, he was photographed grimacing and visibly in pain. this is a really busy time for pope francis, with many events and services scheduled ahead of easter weekend. any sense of whether those will go ahead? that's right. easter is the busiest time for a pope and pope francis had sunday mass scheduled for this weekend and then next week and several celebrations around holy week and easter. what we do know is all of his commitments for the next two days have been cancelled, so it's very possible that he won't be able to do everything that he was hoping to do for easter. and, you know, he will be disappointed, because despite the fact he has mobility problems and he has to use a wheelchair, pope francis is still very active. you know, just last month he went to south sudan and to the dse. one final thing to consider

is that the pope is said in the past that he would consider resigning if his health were to deteriorate and he felt that he was no longer able to carry on. 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 for the people of vanuatu who are still reeling from the devastation from two

back—to—back cyclones this month caused by the fossil fuels and greenhouse emissions that they are not responsible for. earlier, i wasjoined by professor leah stokes, associate professor of political science at the university of california, santa barbara. she says countries such as vanuatu are under existential threat if we continue to burn fossil fuels. what the 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, you know, do countries have an obligation under international law to do something about climate change? and that kind of an advisory opinion could actually trickle down into the decisions that are made in international climate negotiations and even into domestic legal conflicts, you know, in for example in europe or the united states or in other countries around the world. so it is a really big deal,

because it really starts to set up an accelerator for legal action on climate change internationally. now, this has been four years in the making, with vanuatu leading the charge on this, what are the consequences for islands such as vanuatu if nothing is done to address climate change related issues? well, climate change is already happening, we've already warmed the planet by around 1.2 celsius and we are well on track to hit the 1.5 degree target that small island nations pushed for under the paris agreement to be the target, because this warming leads to things like sea level rise, you know, increased cyclones and hurricanes, and those are really dramatically impacting low—lying nations. we are having issues like, you know, for freshwater in these countries, you're having saltwater intrude into them, you're having literally the land being submerged into the ocean, so these countries are poised to potentially lose

their entire homeland, so it's a really existential threat if we do not stop burning fossil fuels and take on the climate crisis. 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 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 of journalists 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. speaks german 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 uss voted to repeal the legislation that let the us go into rea, president bush and his administration forced the claimed president saddam was stockpiling weapons of mass destruction. the move would have to be approved by the republican—dominated house incentives before it can come into effect. 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 that there's 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 that 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 fact, it can make up photorealistic images of things that never happened, and that could be a really big problem for 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 they didn't work 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. - a 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 world 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. stephanie prentice told me more. it thinks that its logo is far too similar to the black lives matter one and could cause confusion for people buying its products and even suggests commercial alignment when the two. i think we can look at them side—by—side. two. i think we can look at them side-by-side.- two. i think we can look at them side-by-side. they say it is the cornerstone _ them side-by-side. they say it is the cornerstone of _ them side-by-side. they say it is the cornerstone of its - is the cornerstone of its branding and sportswear empire. black lives matter have been using their logos for around a few years and applied to trade market in 2020. that would have given them far more scope for things like merchandise including apparel. unlike initially there would be a

fight over this, but all of a sudden, everyone drew back. truth? sudden, everyone drew back. why have they announced that? statement was very official. they said they would withdraw all opposition. they didn't give any tangible reasons as to why. some branding experts have been circulating about this. they say any sort of opposition to black lives matter could be seen as an opposition to the movement rather than any kind of commercial issues or ties. also that has been some speculation they might have thought they could lose this one because they have lost things like this in the past. speaking of that, this is not the first time they have lost any type of case against defending their logo. it has happened quite a few times. adidas have used this logo for 70 years and it would seem they ran an increasingly protectionist agenda about it. there have been quite a number of lawsuits since 2008, 90 in fact and have sent —— science

200 settlement agreements of sayyad milne issues. they had a big collaborator with kanye west they do pull back from you is causing them a lot of issues, and in they lost a very similar case with a luxury brand called tom brown. it is a forthright logo. the judge ruled in tom brown's favour, said it was a different market. they said perhaps this time they will choose their battles and save their money on this one. let's get some of the day's other news. ten people are reported to have died in the philippines. the coastguard rescue 230 people from the vessel on wednesday night. it from the vessel on wednesday ni . ht. , ., from the vessel on wednesday niuht. , ., ., night. it is not clear what caused the _ night. it is not clear what caused the fire. - night. it is not clear what caused the fire. details l night. it is not clear what i caused the fire. details are still coming in. 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 wifejill will meet first responders and people affected by the deadly storm.

paul rusesabagina, who inspired the film hotel rwanda, has arrived back in the us after being freed from prison in rwanda last week. the us citizen was sentenced to 25 years in jail for being critical of rwandan president paul kagame. the 68—year—old is credited with saving hundreds of lives during the 1994 genocide. the world football authority, fifa, has stripped indonesia of the right to host this year's under—20 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 ended up being trusted with such cosy institutions as blankety blank, an itv teatime show and a sunday afternoon slot on radio two. 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 round here... everyone in birkenhead has got something to say about how he'll be so missed. he was down to earth, - he was 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. _ yeah. he was a lovely, lovely man. he'll 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. so it's a really sad day. he broadcast his final radio two 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 who's 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 10 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 itjust 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've 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 werejoined 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. so, 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 body just 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 southwest 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 every night 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, 2.5 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'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. this was the pope pictured in the hours before his hospital admission. his closest advisors will also be staying with him. it does, of course, raise questions over next week's easter events with it usually being the pontiff's busiest time of the year. we do have a look at the bbc news website for more on that story and others were featured on the programme, or you can download the app. there is also the latest on the brazilian presidentjair bolsonaro who is back to brazil is in spending

time in the us. that is all for now. thank you for your company. you can reach me on twitter — i'm @lmmisztak. 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 degrees in northern ireland, and in southwest france, 30 degrees on wednesday. this early spring warmth is going to 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're going to find 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 southwesterly 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 degrees is possible in eastern england. those heavy showers do fade away quickly in the evening

but only because it's going to get wet and windy here from the southwest. we've got this area of low pressure, quite a deep one. that's going to 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 are going to be lower. top number this time — 1a degrees, 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're going to be stuck with that weather front for a while. that gets cooled 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 are going to be 11 or 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 to 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 he had not contracted covid. the united nations general assembly has adopted a resolution asking the world's highest court to define countries' obligations to combat climate change. delegates 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
