one—year—old sajad struggles to breathe. this mother, fatima, holds an oxygen pipe near her child's nose. masks for their small faces aren't available. irfan is in the next bed. his condition worsens... ..and his mother ziara is given an extra tube. mothers filling in for what trained staff or medical equipment should do. this basic facility is the intensive care unit in ghor�*s main hospital — a province home to more than a million. room after room is full of sick children.

tayabullah, barely breathing, ill with pneumonia and malnutrition. his family wants us to see his condition. alone in a corner, his mother nigar realises her son is fading. doctors find a faint heartbeat. already defeated by a lack of resources, they're trying to revive him with the little they have. this man tells us it took eight hours, on rubble roads, to bring his grandson here. a family that can barely afford to eat, scrape together money to pay for the ride,

trying to save their little boy. idema is one of two nurses treating 60 children. she makes a final attempt. minutes later, she tells nigar her boy has died. sobbing. they carry their baby home. he should be alive. every disease he had was curable. translation: i am also a mother, and when i saw the baby die, - i felt like i've lost my own child. when i saw his mother sobbing, it broke my heart. it hurt my conscience. we don't have equipment and trained staff. there is nothing we can do

but watch babies dying. barely a few moments passed before we found another child in distress. two years old, gulbadan was born with a heart defect, a condition that's not uncommon or hard to treat. "we borrowed money to take her to kabul, but we couldn't afford surgery so we had to bring her back," her grandmother told us. "please help us cure her." what gulbadan has could have been fixed with a routine operation, but this hospital isn't equipped to perform it. her father tells us his daughter had just begun to speak, forming herfirst words, calling out to him.

translation: if | had - an income, she would have never suffered this way. right now, i don't even have the money to buy a cup of tea. this hospital doesn't have any equipment to cure her. you can barely find an oxygen cylinder. when we came back later, we were told gulbadan had not survived. oxygen had run out. within hours, two children died. another crushing blow for dr ahmad samadi and his colleagues. translation: | feel | exhaustion and agony. every day, we lose one or two beloved children of ghor. we're almost accustomed it now. we need equipment, ventilators and monitors. we need oxygen and medicines. for 20 years, the world put billions of dollars into afghanistan's

public health care. what we've seen raises questions about how that money was spent. in ghor, the hospital wasn't made strong enough to withstand a regime change. in the one and a half years since the taliban took over and foreign funding — which propped up afghan health care — was frozen, we've been to hospitals and clinics all across this country. this is the worst we've seen. it's hard to believe that this is the main provincial hospital. even this bare minimum is being held up because humanitarian agencies are funding some of the salaries, medicines and food. it is sorely insufficient. and if that funding is reduced further, there is no doubt that the direct result of that will be more children dying. and aid agencies have warned that donations which could help these

families might be hit, because the taliban's restrictions on women violate international laws. on a hill on the edge of the town is one of the area's main burial grounds. there are no records or even a caretaker here. no way to tell who they belong to. but it's easy to distinguish big graves from small ones. from what we saw, at least half of those recently buried are children. there's evidence everywhere that the lives of afghanistan's youngest are being taken. yogita limaye, bbc news, ghor.

heartbreaking reports from our team in afghanistan. around the world and across the uk. putting their skills to the test. it was all about accuracy for this weekend's hopefuls. at bicester in a discipline called auto solo. auto solos can be done in a road car. it's something that you can do on tarmac or on grass, and it's car control. so driving around a course with cones, different challenges against the clock, against competitors. 12 drivers took part in the event at bicester heritage, the prize, two places up for grabs to race all season for free. motorsport uk moved to 0xfordshire in 2020 and is hoping events like this can show how accessible driving can be. great to see that there's this stuff going on for disabled people, getting people out, getting people

involved and showing them that they can get back into competitive sports. you're live with bbc news. google has said its committed to developing responsible artificial intelligence after a warning from a former chief scientist about its dangers. geoffrey hinton, a leading figure in artificial intelligence has resigned from his job at google, and is warning of the growing dangers of ai. it's technology that involves computers carrying out tasks which humans used to do, such as self—driving cars. mr hinton who's spent his career researching ai, says he's now concerned there's a serious risk the technology, will get out of control. zoe kleinman, has the details. ai is already part of our lives, from health care options to insurance quotes, movie streaming recommendations to photo filters. but is it getting too powerful too fast?

probably the most famous ai tool at the moment is chatgpt. millions of us have used this chat bot to get humanlike answers to all sorts of questions. so i decided to ask it how to make this report for you tonight, and this is what it said. it's come back with, "remember to keep the introduction concise, clear and engaging as it sets the tone for the rest of the report." i'll do my best. first, what is it? well, artificial intelligence, or ai, is an umbrella term for computer systems trained to do the tasks that traditionally humans have done. until recently, it's been nowhere near as us at doing things, but that's all changing because it's now developing super fast. what are the benefits? the tech giants are competing like mad to try to bring out the ultimate ai product that ends up being the one we all want to use. they say ai tools will make our lives easier. the way we think about this is the technology is assistive. we don't think of it as replacing people'sjobs right now, but we do think it could take drudgery out ofjobs.

we do think that it can help people get back to kind of what we would call the soul of theirjobs, the things that they like doing most. what are the concerns? well, there are a growing number of experts who warn that we are not prepared for how rapidly ai is developing and how soon it could be smarter than us. things like gpt4 eclipses a person in the amount of general knowledge it has and eclipses them by a long way. given the rate of progress, we expect things to get better quite fast, so we need to worry about that. right now, they're not more intelligent than us, as far as i can tell, but i think they soon may be. can it be regulated? while the tech sector is busy investing lots of time and money in al, governments including the uk's are trying to figure out how to regulate it responsibly, and, of course, a lot of the firms involved are grappling with their own codes of ethics. this is technology that's being built in multiple countries around the world but will affect us all. so i think this is an area where you're going to have to see multilateral cooperation across governments and also across the key private sector actors.

chatgpt suggests i end with this... "while the future of ai is uncertain, one thing is for sure, its potential to transform our world is immense." and while ai is increasingly taking the wheel in some industries, for some things at least, humans do need to remain in the driving seat. zoe kleinman, bbc news. let's take a look at some of the stories in the headlines in the uk. more than a million nhs staff in england, are to get a five % pay rise, and a one off cash payment of at least 1,600 pounds. it follows their unions accepting the government's latest pay offer. but the royal college of nursing and the unite union, which represents some ambulance and hospital staff, haven't accepted the deal, which means the possibility of more strikes, could lie ahead. teachers from the national education union in england have marched through in central london as part of a day of action in their pay dispute. thousands of schools were closed

or partially closed by strikes — though classes were still held for pupils facing exams. a man has died after he became stuck at an indoor climbing centre in the lake district in the uk. carl o'keeffe, who was a9, became trapped in a narrow caving tunnel on the 22nd april at kong adventure in keswick. after several hours he was freed by specialist rescue teams, but died of his injuries in hospital on sunday. his family said they were "broken hearted." thousands of people have taken to the streets of wrexham, to celebrate their football team winning promotion back to the english football league. wrexham afc is the oldest football club in wales, with the team and the town, achieving globalfame, after being bought by the hollywood actors, ryan reynolds and rob mackel—henney. theyjoined the players a few hours ago for the victory parade, as our wales correspsondent, hywel griffith now reports. cheering. after a journey that took

15 years to complete, a promotion party they will remember for decades. 15,000 supporters lined wrexham's streets for a glimpse of the players and their celebrity owners, too. after so long in the football doldrums you have to savour success. it is the best day ever. 15 years of hurt. we have turned it around and we are going up, up, up. look what it means. the whole town is behind the boys. it is cracking, brilliant. wrexham! it is great for them to see the achievements of wrexham and they were mascots for the final home game of the season, as well, so for them to see the ending and the final victory parade, it needed to be seen. this may be lower league football but ryan reynolds and rob mcelhenney series welcome to wrexham has propelled this club to another level. streaming globally, it brought new international fans. many find a way here to the turf wanting to meet one of the stars of the show,

wayne, the landlord. it is bizarre. there are 40, 50 americans coming through the door every single day. like i say, maybe in five, ten years, i will look back and think, that was a bonkers couple of years. cheering. hollywood money may have helped to secure wrexham's success but don't discount the emotional investment of these supporters. just over a decade ago it was their cash which helped to save the club from insolvency and stopped it from being wiped off the football map completely. so, where next? the owners are ambitious and would like another party like this at the end of next season. of course our goal is to get to the premier league. why wouldn't it be? if we can do that, whether it takes five years, whether it takes 20 years, that's the goal. that's the mission. and, not surprisingly, it's one these fans are fully signed up to. 0h, aye, straight through league 2, no problem. you are confident?

without a doubt, yeah. we will hammerthem. play—offs at the very least. before that, the next stop on wrexham's journey is an american tour where they will face chelsea and manchester united. a mismatch on the pitch, but as a footballing brand, wrexham believe they can compete. hywel griffith, bbc news, wrexham. before we go, a reminder of our top story, police in london have arrested a man outside of buckingham palace after he threw a number of items suspected to be shotgun cartridges into the palace grounds. the man was also found to be in possession of a suspicious bag which experts blew up in a controlled explosion as a precaution. there are no reports of injuries, and a cordon is in place. let's mind the bbc website, of course, but to also stay with us as we feature in about 15 minutes' time a glimpse of the rehearsals leading up to the coronation this weekend. you can see

that live sina buckingham palace at the moment. all the details after the moment. all the details after the business news on the bbc. do stay with us. thanks for watching. that's all for now. i will be back with you very soon. hello there. on tuesday, it was a largely dry day across the uk. the best of the day's sunshine was across western areas, where we had some lovely blue skies through the afternoon in west wales, for example. elsewhere, though, there was quite a bit of cloud that bubbled up through the day. with high pressure in charge, actually where the winds came round, that high pressure, that was really important to how the day felt. in scarborough, with the onshore winds, temperatures just 11 celsius, quite cool. in contrast to that, the warmest place in the uk was here, managing i9 celsius, not far behind that for west wales, 18.6 celsius in a couple of spots. now at the moment, cloud is tending to melt away across england and wales, the thickest cloud over the next few hours across the north west of the uk, where you might find an odd spot of rain, but it's not really going to amount to much,

quite mild for western areas to start the day. quite chilly in the east with temperatures starting off wednesday morning down into low single figures. now, i think by and large for wednesday, there should be more in the way of sunshine to look forward to across england and wales. after a cloudy start in northern ireland, we should see some bright or sunny spells developing here. i wouldn't rule out a bit of rain, though, into the far north west of scotland, where it will continue to be quite cool. temperatures across england and wales for the most part, 15—18 celsius. so i think that will feel pleasant in the may sunshine. but then we start to see some changes coming up from the south west for thursday as a weather front approaches, and that is going to be spreading some rain. could be quite heavy as well for a time across southwest england before later in the day, the rain edges into parts of wales and the west midlands, probably. there will be some drier and brighter weather ahead of that, and temperatures could still reach around 18 celsius, but it will continue to feel quite cool across eastern scotland and northeast england with the winds coming in off the chilly north sea. now for friday, there's a general downward spiral into more unsettled

weather conditions with heavy showers or even some longer spells of rain. the air, though, is relatively mild with the winds coming up from a south westerly direction, 18 celsius, even if we don't get a great deal in the way of sunshine. but then on into the weekend, which, of course, is the coronation weekend, low pressure works up from the south west, and it does look like it will be turning increasingly unsettled. so i think rain will move into southern areas of england from the south west on saturday. so it could be quite damp for a time for the coronation. and then beyond that, we've got some heavy and thundery showers in the forecast for sunday.

and disappeared. decision time at the fed, we take a look at the us economy and whether there's need for a change in policy. and... we'll have the latest on china's long labour day break and the revival of chinese tourism. hello and welcome to asia business report. i'm karishma vaswani. our top story today: will the us federal reserve raise rates one more time? or will it take a break? as the fed meets to decide whether to raise interest rates again, rising prices aren't their only worry. the turbulence at first republic this week has revived worries about credit conditions.
