football league. hello i'm maryam moshiri. we start with a story that is a big deal in the uk. a breakthrough in the long—running health service strike. more than a million national health service staff in england will get a 5 percent pay rise after health unions here backed the deal. looking to and action. ambulance workers, nurses and physios will also get a one off sum of at least £1,655. the pay deal was signed off at a meeting between the government and 1a health unions representing all nhs staff apart from doctors and dentists. ministers said it was time to bring the strikes to an end. ina in a moment we will speak to the general secretary of the rcn, pat: but first here is steve barclay who says who was pleased with the offer.

this is a good day for nhs staff who will benefit from this pay rise and extra over £5,000 for a band six nurse or paramedic or midwife. so it's a good day for nhs staff, but it's also a good day for patients. it will allow us to move forward. now the nhs staff council has ratified this deal. it's been accepted by the majority of the nhs staff council and we can now move forward, focus together on patients and also ensure that staff get their pay rise much sooner than would have been the case under the pay review body process. there are some unions who aren't particularly happy about this, which means strikes will probably keep going. are you going to get back around the negotiating table or is this the final offer? well, it is the final offer, and it's important that those unions recognise the collective decision. this was a decision taken by 14 health unions. they reached a majority decision. it was negotiated collectively. the rcn were at the negotiating table. indeed, pat cullen recommended this deal to her own members.

so it's important that everyone now respects the decision of the nhs staff council is an opportunity to now come together. there's further areas where we can work collaboratively in terms of some of the non pay issues that we discussed during the negotiations. so i'm looking forward to working with trade union colleagues on those issues, but it's a good day for nhs staff, is a good day for patients an opportunity now to get that pay into staff's pay packets next month and for everyone to move forward together. this was the response from the shadow chancellor, rachel reeves. what this shows is that this whole load of industrial action was absolutely avoidable if the government had have done what labour said should have happened months ago and that is get round the table and negotiate. but it is also a sign of how angry nurses and indeed junior doctors are with this government, that the threat of industrial action continues even after today.

unison says they will, but not all unions have accepted the deal. unite plans to delete action in the rcn says it will ballot its members on for the strike. we can talk like not to the general secretary of the royal college of nursing, pat cullen. first of all you will be piloting your members for further strike action? yes piloting your members for further strike action?— piloting your members for further strike action? yes we will and what i will sit to — strike action? yes we will and what i will sit to the — strike action? yes we will and what i will sit to the government - strike action? yes we will and what i will sit to the government today l i will sit to the government today is just be careful about over claiming this as a success and an end to industrial action. the government knows only too well that nurses remain in dispute with this government. alsojunior nurses remain in dispute with this government. also junior doctors as well. and we have a number of health care workers that are represented by unite who remained in dispute. to this dispute is far from over. unite who remained in dispute. to this dispute is farfrom over. but this dispute is far from over. but if ou do this dispute is far from over. but if you do ballots for strike action, if you do ballots for strike action, if there is further strike action, what good will it do you if the other unions then think, if you will

ballot for mark strike action and go back on strike to get a better deal, we want a better deal, so clearly the government will not deal with you. it the government will not deal with ou. ., ., ., you. it will have to it cannot ianore you. it will have to it cannot ignore the _ you. it will have to it cannot ignore the voice _ you. it will have to it cannot ignore the voice of- you. it will have to it cannot ignore the voice of the - you. it will have to it cannot j ignore the voice of the large you. it will have to it cannot - ignore the voice of the large group of health care workers within the nhs. and that is nurses. so they will have to get back around the table again. we represent over 300,000 nurses now in the nhs. their voice cannot be ignored. so we do intend to ballot our members in may. that will close injune. and we could see, as we have set, unfortunately strike action up until christmas. if there is not a better deal put on the stable. the nursing staff need to be able to have more nursing staffjoined the profession and we need to hold onto the nurses that we have got and we will not be able to do that for our patients and for the health service if we do not get a better deal. but for the health service if we do not get a better deal.— for the health service if we do not get a better deal. but do you think our get a better deal. but do you think your position is — get a better deal. but do you think your position is not _ get a better deal. but do you think your position is not now— get a better deal. but do you think your position is not now begin - get a better deal. but do you think your position is not now begin to i get a better deal. but do you think| your position is not now begin to be the fact that all of the other

unions accepting the deal? know, as i they have a very strong voice and be heard yesterday that they were described as the most essential and significant part of the workforce. they make up 25% of the workforce. cannot ignore those voices, we cannot ignore 25% of the workforce. so ourjob now is to make sure that we get a roundtable and get to the secretary of state and get to a position where he can't support the nurses to get back to work and care for their patients. they begin to fill the vacant posts and we do the decent thing for the people of this country and we have the nursing staff to be able to give those people off of the waiting list. find people off of the waiting list. and yet. downing _ people off of the waiting list. and yet, downing street says they are not look to reopen talks with rcn nsr as they are concerned this is the final offer. ilil" nsr as they are concerned this is the final offer.— the final offer. our nursing staff has said time _ the final offer. our nursing staff has said time and _ the final offer. our nursing staff has said time and time - the final offer. our nursing staff has said time and time again, i the final offer. our nursing staff has said time and time again, itj has said time and time again, it

would not address the acute —— recruitment issues, the government will have to get around the table they cannot ignore this many people in england, they have to get a the table otherwise we will be able to see the health service in the crisis that we have got arc readily and credibly broken and that our nurses are trained to hold together. that is unsustainable for them and we cannot keep it going the way we are by losing more and more nurses every single day. 0ut by losing more and more nurses every single day. out of the health service will stop it is not right, it is not proper. so now let's get to meaningful talks, let's put more money on the table and let's make sure that these nurses do not have to be revalidated in may and have to strike up until christmas. let to be revalidated in may and have to strike up until christmas.— strike up until christmas. let me ask ou strike up until christmas. let me ask you this- _ strike up until christmas. let me ask you this. would _ strike up until christmas. let me ask you this. would you - strike up until christmas. let me ask you this. would you be - strike up until christmas. let me | ask you this. would you be willing to be in a position tojoin ask you this. would you be willing to be in a position to join forces withjunior to be in a position to join forces with junior doctors to be in a position to join forces withjunior doctors and to be in a position to join forces with junior doctors and strike with them in any case before you are mandate is over? we them in any case before you are mandate is over?— them in any case before you are mandate is over? we totally support “unior mandate is over? we totally support junior doctors _ mandate is over? we totally support junior doctors 100%. _ mandate is over? we totally support junior doctors 100%. for _ mandate is over? we totally support junior doctors 10096. for a _ mandate is over? we totally support junior doctors 10096. for a decent i junior doctors 100%. for a decent pay rise. they obviously deserve it

but we have no plans in place at all to collaborate on days of strike. finally, is this a national ballot you are planning and does that not again, we can your position because there are local pockets of the country that do not want to strike? 0n country that do not want to strike? on this occasion we are. we are looking at what is known as an aggregate ballot, different from last time we'll revalidated organisation, so it is in a national ballot this time around. it organisation, so it is in a national ballot this time around.— organisation, so it is in a national ballot this time around. it has been really good — ballot this time around. it has been really good to _ ballot this time around. it has been really good to talk _ ballot this time around. it has been really good to talk to _ ballot this time around. it has been really good to talk to you _ ballot this time around. it has been really good to talk to you and i - really good to talk to you and i think you for coming onto the bbc and answering our questions. moving on now because more than a thousand children under the age of five in afghanistan are dying every week from preventable diseases. that's according to the charity unicef. the country's public health infrastructure was already weak before the taliban took over in 2021. but it is virtually broken now. foreign funding has been frozen

and the little help still available from aid agencies is also under threat because the taliban has banned women from working for them. the bbc�*s correspondent yogita limaye —— along with sanjay ganguly and imogen anderson have been to a hospital on the brink of collapse. what we're about to show you is deeply distressing and shows young children in theirfinal moments. but their families wanted us to film them so that the world can see the true scale of the humanitarian disaster that's unfolded. every child in this room is in need of critical care. pneumonia is ravaging their little bodies. this one—year—old struggles to breathe. this mother, fatima, holds eight oxygen type, masks for their small faces are not available. his

condition worsens, and the next bed, and his mother is given an extra tube. mothers filling in for what train to staff or a medical equipment to do. this basic facility is the intensive care unit. in a province. room after room is full of sick children. they are barely breathing. ill with pneumonia and malnutrition. his mother wants us to see his condition. he is fading. doctors find a faint heartbeat. already defeated by a lack of resources, they are trying to revive him with the little that they have. this man tells us it took eight

hours on the roads to bring his grandson here. this is one of two nurses treating 60 children. she makes a final attempt. minutes later, she tells the mother her boy has died. every disease he had was curable. translation: i every disease he had was curable. translation:— every disease he had was curable. translation: ., ., ., ., ., translation: i am also a mother and when i saw translation: i am also a mother and when i saw the — translation: i am also a mother and when i saw the baby _ translation: i am also a mother and when i saw the baby died _ translation: i am also a mother and when i saw the baby died i _ translation: i am also a mother and when i saw the baby died i felt - translation: i am also a mother and when i saw the baby died i felt like - when i saw the baby died i felt like i lost my own child. it hurt my conscience. we don't have equipment and train staff. there is nothing we can do but watch babies die. barely a few moments _ can do but watch babies die. barely a few moments passed _ can do but watch babies die. barely a few moments passed before - can do but watch babies die. barely a few moments passed before we l can do but watch babies die. barely a few moments passed before we found another child in distress. two years old, he was born with a heart defect. a condition that is not uncommon or her to treat.

because humanitarian agencies are funding some of the salaries, medicines and food. it is solely insufficient. and if that funding is reduced further, there is no doubt that the direct result of that will be more children dying. eight agencies warn that funds that could help these families might be hit. because the taliban restrictions on women violate international laws. with me as my colleague who has reported extensively from afghanistan, just watching that this is clearly nothing short of a catastrophe. it is clearly nothing short of a catastrophe.— is clearly nothing short of a catastrohe. ., , , ., �* catastrophe. it really is. idon't know what _ catastrophe. it really is. idon't know what to _ catastrophe. it really is. idon't know what to say, _ catastrophe. it really is. idon't know what to say, we - catastrophe. it really is. idon't know what to say, we are - catastrophe. it really is. idon't know what to say, we are both | know what to say, we are both mothers, i travelled to afghanistan often and there is not a hospital that i have been to that i have seen this level of poverty, hunger, famine, devastation, mothers leaping and begging for doctors to save

their children. to think that a small child there did not survive because oxygen ran out. or preventable diseases that could be treated. and because families do not have the income, the hospitals do not have resources, the international community are stuck in a bind with the taliban because of the restrictions that they have put on women. so, it isjust a the restrictions that they have put on women. so, it is just a whole, the whole thing is just a disaster for the afghan people, for the international community and for these mothers who are desperately trying to keep their children alive. you have been to afghanistan recently, tell me more about what you saw there? i recently, tell me more about what you saw there?— you saw there? i saw a very different — you saw there? i saw a very different afghanistan. - you saw there? i saw a very| different afghanistan. every you saw there? i saw a very - different afghanistan. every time i 90, different afghanistan. every time i go, it feels like the first time. because so much changes and shifts. since the taliban takeover in 2021, i have made three orfour trips back to the country. you can see the restrictions every single time. on women, girls, iwas restrictions every single time. on women, girls, i was a girl over the age of 12 cannot go to school, women

cannot go to university, women are not allowed to work with the international agency so the art restrictions as well. and then there is the other catastrophe, the humanitarian crisis that we see every year, just as winter approaches, and international community makes an appeal. the you and makes an appeal and begs for more funding to be able to rescue some of these children. and every year it feels as though afghanistan continues to be forgotten.- year it feels as though afghanistan continues to be forgotten. thank you ve much continues to be forgotten. thank you very much indeed. _ around the world and across the uk. this is bbc news. putting their skills to the test. it was all about accuracy for this we can's hopefuls at best or in a discipline called auto solo. thea;r discipline called auto solo. they can be done _ discipline called auto solo. they can be done in _ discipline called auto solo. they can be done in a road _ discipline called auto solo. they can be done in a road call, - discipline called auto solo. tia: can be done in a road call, it is something you can do on tarmac or on grass and it is car control. so

the man widely seen as the �*godfather of artificial intelligence' has quit his job at google, warning of the dangers of ai. dr geoffrey hinton's pioneering research on deep learning and neural networks has paved the way for current ai systems like chatgpt, but dr hinton says he now regrets his work and is worried that al technology will flood the internet with misinformation. google responded in a statement saying, "we remain committed to a responsible approach to a.i." dr hinton has been telling the bbc how these systems can know so much. the intelligence we are developing is very different from the intelligence we have. we are biological — intelligence we have. we are biological systems. - intelligence we have. we are biological systems. and - intelligence we have. we are| biological systems. and these intelligence we have. we are - biological systems. and these are digital systems. biological systems. and these are digitalsystems. in biological systems. and these are digital systems. in the big difference is that with digital systems, you have many copies of the same set of weights, the same model of the world. and all of these copies can learn separately, but share their knowledge instantly. so it is this if you had 10,000 people and whenever one person learns something everyone automatically

knew it. that is how these chats can know so much more than any one person. dr hinton also told the bbc the rate of progress is worrying. right now what we are seeing is things like gptll that eclipses they amount of knowledge a general person could have, the reason, it already the simple reasoning and given the rate of progress, we expect things to get better quite fast. so we need to get better quite fast. so we need to worry about that. right now they are not monitored it but i think they soon might be. there is the x essential risk which stephen _ there is the x essential risk which stephen hawking talked about before he died. _ stephen hawking talked about before he died, something that philosophers were writing about for 650—6 years,

indeed. congratulations - see where it takes us. let's see indeed. congratulations once i see where it takes us. let's see i indeed. congratulations once again and enjoy celebrations later. thank you forjoining us. stay with us here on bbc news. hello. there's going to be a lot of interest in the weather forecast over the next few days. a big weekend coming up. in the short term, the weather is relatively quiet. it's dry for most of us. and tomorrow, a bright day to come for many parts of the uk, but not absolutely everywhere. at the moment, an area of high pressure over us, but it has been quite a cloudy high. and look at the extent of the cloud. you can see the brighter cloud there across more northern and some central areas, but around coastal areas, particularly in the south—west it actually hasn't been too bad at all. some prolonged spells of sunshine. through this evening and overnight. it's more southern and central parts of the uk that get the clear spells.

it'll also turn chilly in some areas. look at that norwich, two degrees, about four in hull, but out towards the west a little bit milder and thick of cloud, nine degrees for example, in belfast first thing on wednesday. and on wednesday, i think broadly speaking, it's the northern half of the uk that will be cloudy most of the time, even some rain there in western parts and central areas of scotland. the best of the weather out towards the west and the southwest, this is where the high temperatures will be — 17 or 18 degrees celsius and not bad on the north sea coast in newcastle around 15. and then the change occurs on thursday. we see a weather front moving in from the south—west. initially at least in the morning, it brings rain to south—western areas so cornwall, devon, somerset into wales too, perhaps nudging into the midlands during the course of the afternoon, but elsewhere it should be dry, but there will be an easterly breeze. so that means once again quite chilly in places like newcastle and aberdeen. the higher temperatures will be further south.

and i'm going to skip now to the weekend, but of course it is a very important weekend, low pressure weather front after weather front and plenty of heavy showers and the risk of downpours, yes, almost any day. but it is going to be very tricky, at least at this stage, to forecast where the showers will occur. there will be showers around, no doubt about that and a few downpours, too. but i think the best advice is just be prepared for the showers because they won't occur everywhere. there will be some sunny spells and the weather icons on the website on our apps will change from day to day as that's just the nature of shower forecasting. that's it for me. bye bye.
