and they america taken together. and they work harder. so who is going to win this long—term? so the right strategy is to actually negotiate with china, do deals with china. so whilst we still have something to bargain for, we get a better deal with china may be for china to produce some of its factories in europe and the us.— produce some of its factories in europe and the us. which is fair enou~h, europe and the us. which is fair enough. but _ europe and the us. which is fair enough. but i — europe and the us. which is fair enough, but i wonder, - europe and the us. which is fair enough, but i wonder, do - europe and the us. which is fair enough, but i wonder, do you . europe and the us. which is fair. enough, but i wonder, do you think is some do that there is a risk, a real risk that the chinese could take the compound semiconductor technology and use it for military purposes? technology and use it for military --uroses? , , ., technology and use it for military --uroses? , , ., ., purposes? yes, there is a risk and therefore. — purposes? yes, there is a risk and therefore. we _ purposes? yes, there is a risk and therefore, we have _ purposes? yes, there is a risk and therefore, we have to _ purposes? yes, there is a risk and therefore, we have to have - purposes? yes, there is a risk and therefore, we have to have thesel therefore, we have to have these export restrictions and be very careful. and negotiate with china what they can and cannot use when it is produced in the west. but if the alternative is that they will have more advanced technology than us and we become then depended on them, thatis we become then depended on them, that is not a very good alternative. so there is a short—term optimisation and policy with respect

11:13 pm
we asked the bbc for a statement about the series, but failed to include it in last night's programme. we're happy to set things straight now. in relation to the planned grenfell drama, a bbc spokesperson told us: "we are extremely mindful of the impact that a project of this nature can have on those whose lives have been personally affected by grenfell, and this factual drama will be made with the utmost sensitivity and respect. it's not the case that the programme was announced via variety magazine, as claimed. producers were in touch with many community groups and individuals before the series was announced. writer and director peter kosminsky hasn't started writing yet and he won't do until the research period is complete, and after the inquiry delivers its final report. the drama is several years away from completion. it will encompass the months leading up to the fire and its immediate aftermath, as well as the many months following, including accommodation and rehousing issues faced by survivors and families. it will draw on over five years
11:14 pm
of research to ask not only how this terrible tragedy was able to occur, but also what we can learn to ensure that the events at grenfell can never happen again elsewhere." that's all from us tonight. kirsty�*s here tomorrow. have a good evening. breaking news from around the world 24 breaking news from around the world 2a hours a day, this is bbc news. £7,000 at the bank at the end of 2019. loaning the party around £107,000 of his own money. this mornings arrest

11:16 pm
it is past time that humza yousaf tackled this scandal head on and prove to the scottish public that he is his own man. instead of defending and deflecting from his predecessors's tarnished legacy. what humza yousaf cannot escape from is that he is not now runningl a functioning government. this is an snp that is mired i in scandal, mired in division, talking to themselves _ about themselves, and the crisis that now engulfs the snp is notjust an indication of how— they govern their party, but also how they govern our country. i colin beattie returned home tonight after being released without charge. whatever the outcome of the case, his party, the snp, is in turmoil. james cook, bbc news. let's take a look at some of the stories in the headlines in the uk... energy firms in the uk have signed
11:17 pm
up to a new code of practice, which will stop them forcibly installing prepayment meters in the homes of anyone over 85. campaigners are concerned that the rules are voluntary but the watchdog 0fgem says the reputation of energy firms will be on the line if they don't comply. there's been a slight rise in the number of people looking for work in the uk, according to latest figures. pay continues to rise sharply — especially in the private sector but not fast enough to keep up with price rises. the uk ministry of defence has been reviewing the access its staff have to sensitive material after last week's major leak in the united states. the american government has charged a 21 year—old intelligence officer who allegedly put highly sensitive documents on the internet. around the world and across the uk. this is bbc news.

everyone loves the spitfire, and here at heritage hangar at biggin hill, they'vejust returned their 15th spitfire to the air. recovered from an israeli kibbutz, most of the fuselage was still intact. it's a challenge, we all like a challenge. being fortunate to be able to fly in the these aeroplanes, ifind it's a greater challenge getting them back in the air than it is flying them. the spitfire, of course, was built with a purpose in mind. after the war, many were scrapped, melted down, so to think that 82 years after the battle of britain, that some are still here and flying is extraordinary. during the second world war, the pilots who flew these aeroplanes were typically straight from school. so, in this, hangar, in a corner of kent, another slice of history has been restored — a piece of magic that's been brought back to life.

you're live with bbc news. in sudan — a country torn apart by fighting, and suffering a major humanitarian crisis, a 24—hour ceasefire is reported to have started but it's by no means clear if rival factions in the armed forces are observing the deal. there's been intense fighting since the weekend and hundreds of people have been killed and injured. sudan is one of the biggest countries in africa and it's experienced years of instability as it's tried to move towards democratic government. the latest clashes were started by the power struggle between these two men — general abdel fattah al—burhan, president of sudan's military government and his deputy mohamed hamdan dagalo, who leads the country's biggest paramilitary group, the rsf.
11:20 pm
the united nations says the humanitarian situation in sudan is now catastrophic with mass displacement of people. 0ur senior africa correspondent anne soy has been watching developments from the kenyan capital nairobi. every chance they get, sudanese are trying to flee the capital, khartoum, if only they can make it out alive. a 24—hour cease fire to allow families to reunite and aid to flow should be in force now. but there are reports still of gunfire and explosions. pressure is mounting on the warring generals to negotiate. if implemented successfully in cease—fire for more sustained halt to fighting and a return to negotiations with durable end to the hostilities. some have been caught up in crossfire, like these engineering

civilians can only watch helplessly and try to stay alive. anne soy, bbc news, nairobi. at least one person has died and four have been injured following the collapse of a parking garage in new york city's lower manhattan. these are the pictures you are seeing from there. these are the pictures you are seeing from there. emergency personnel were checking the site for any further casualties when they were pulled back because of unstable conditions. but authorities now believe everyone who wasin the building who was in the building has been accounted for. you can get all the latest on our website as well. you can get all the latest on our website as well. now then, what is art, and what is artificial? how does talent fit with technology? these are some of the questions that have come up in the wake of a controversial photography award.
11:23 pm
the winner has refused to accept his prize after revealing that his work was created using articial intelligence. i'm joined now by boris eldagsen himself. he refused to take that top prize. thank you so much forjoining us on the program. a lot of debate about al and how to differentiate with ai and how to differentiate with actual photography. some critics would say whether it was the right thing to do. would say whether it was the right thing to do— would say whether it was the right thin to do. ~ . , , thing to do. what is your response? i think it works. _ thing to do. what is your response? i think it works. much _ thing to do. what is your response? i think it works. much better - thing to do. what is your response? i think it works. much better than i i think it works. much better than expected. i'm very thankful for the could do eight photography community to take it out of instagram and facebook and to you now and internationally. it's amazing. the fact that it _ internationally. it's amazing. the fact that it actually could win the award, what is this delusion, how do you see the future now that the technology is evolving so quickly. i
11:24 pm
think we need to react quickly and come up with the new terms to describe what's happening. it's not photography, we don't use the term ai in photography. it's something else was up a great idea that came out of the community this weekend from a peruvian photograph is writing with prompt. it shows that it can also create an image that doesn't look photography but like drawing or painting. i think if we use a new term for it and different on the second level we can talk about the things they have in common. of course like prompt graphs look like photographs because they look like photographs because they look like photographs because they look like them, they learn the language of photography from photography. now that they are free—floating it's an entity in itself. nt put together in one basket? do we differentiate cordless it's very complex question. up until now everybody was just staring at i and i like a frightened rabbit and

stay with bbc news. hello. big contrast in the weather across the uk on tuesday. we've got up to 21 degrees at calloway in the scottish highlands. plenty of sunshine generally across the highlands. this image from the afternoon and ness further east edinburgh lots of low cloud mist and murt being dragged in on the easterly when this was newington just nine degrees but similar temperatures really along much of the north sea coast on tuesday afternoon won't be much different either, i fear this wednesday, perhaps brighter though, across eastern england as the area of cloud and showery rain that we saw hanging around on tuesday moves away westwards. but it is those north sea temperatures that are real killers to the temperatures adjacent to the north sea. even on land at this time of year with an easterly wind, basically,
11:27 pm
we pick up cold air that's been sitting across the north sea and feed it straight into eastern coasts. further west with some sunshine, things do get chance to warm up. and we're looking at highs towards the west today in the west of any sunshine of 15 or 16 degrees, a bit more cloud for wales. in the southwest, though, one or two showers around here could be a shade cooler. pollen levels down from the very high levels across england and wales that we saw earlier this week, but still very high in a few spots and high quite widely across the uk. and high quite widely across the uk for any allergy sufferers. now looking to thursday, those bars on that chart opened up a little bit there. for the keen eyed amongst you, that should mean a lighter winds going through the night with clear skies, lighterwinds, some cold air hanging around there. you've got all the ingredients to make for a frosty start to thursday. gardeners can easily be caught out. i know i have been by putting out tender plants at this time of year and then there's temperatures falling away.
11:28 pm
and even through thursday daytime, we just pull the wind round to a bit more of a north easterly direction. that's just going to bring in some slightly cooler air than we started the week with perhaps some showers into eastern england later in the day. what we're looking at is that our temperatures tending away from the mid—teens into perhaps the lower end of double figures for thursday and still perhaps just ten degrees along the north sea coast. now, end of the week, things start to get more lively. the high pressure in the north gives way to allow low pressure to come swirling up from the south. that means we will see, i think, some showers spreading across england and wales on friday more widely across the whole of the uk for saturday and sunday. and then quite a shock to the system, i think as we potentially pick up a northerly wind and some much colder weather for early next week. shaun, full credit to david for saving his place on tour at the qualifiers. and earning
