a bbc investigation finds a uk conservative party donor is a british businessman whose companies are linked to a money laundering investigation. and glitz and the glamour of the 76th cannes film festival. we're live in the south of france. ukraine claims to have shot down, six advanced russian kinzhal hypersonic missiles that president putin has claimed are unstoppable. during a fresh overnight barrage, described by officials as "exceptional in its density". ukraine says all 18 missiles of various types were shot down. this footage showing kyiv�*s air defences in action.

at least three people were injured by debris. ukraine's defence minister says... "another unbelievable success for the ukrainian air forces. last night, our sky defenders shot down six russian hypersonic missiles and 12 others. meanwhile, russia's defence ministry has claimed that it's destroyed a patriot air defence system in kyiv. ukrainian officials have refused to comment. the latest barrage came just hours after president zelensky wrapped up a european tour, in which he was promised billions of dollars�* worth of military aid by western allies. in another development in the past hour, ukraine has claimed its forces have retaken some 20 square kilometres of territory around the city of bakhmut in recent days.

i spoke to the former president. this morning, 3am, all people in kyiv were awakened by the blasts and the work of russian missiles and ukrainian air defence system and i'm proud that in the year 2014 when we had an empty treasury, when we had no money in gold and currency reserves, it was my work to create that air defence of kyiv. i am proud that air defence of kyiv. i am proud that putin attack to attempt and destroy kyiv government and everything was hijacked by the ukrainian air defence soldiers but now we are much stronger, because of the supply, the united states, germany, france, the air defence, we

demonstrate that the improvement, the nato air defence, the nato standard weapons is dominating russia even using their most modern missile can do anything with... previously they had claimed these missiles could not be shot down by defence systems, how did the ukrainian authorities managed to do it? we ukrainian authorities managed to do it? . , , , ukrainian authorities managed to do it? , _ ., , a, a, ukrainian authorities managed to do it? , _ ., ., it? we simply demonstrate and that was a report — it? we simply demonstrate and that was a report of— it? we simply demonstrate and that was a report of the _ it? we simply demonstrate and that was a report of the general, - it? we simply demonstrate and that was a report of the general, i - was a report of the general, i cannot say more but i know that these six kinzhal missile switch were so advertised by putin that this is absolutely no defence against that, or let's imagine that we do it also with the participation of the american patriot system. but this is not only because of the

april 2022 when kyiv was almost encircled together with my team and a battalion of territorial defence with weapons in their hand protected kyiv. but yes, ukrainian air defence demonstrated the miracle but again, we need to stop russian dominance in ukrainian air. for that we need to things. f—16 and long—range missiles. again, from all of my heart i want to thank the british government, the british people for delivering for us the long—range missile and even more i can confirm that some of this missile is already very efficiently used against russian. ~ , ._

judge has not been charged yet. this concerns a controversial ukrainian businessman by the name of. he is one of the richest men in ukraine, in a very long—running case, a lawsuit over who end, owned a mine. the court ruled in his favour and what is being alleged very clearly is that he paid $2.7 million in bribes to make sure you court ruled his way. some of that money is money that lawyers, some to the supreme courtjudge who has been arrested but some of it is supposed to have gone to otherjudges, hence other judges also being investigated. he was arrested in france last year at ukraine's request, he denies doing anything wrong, he is fighting extradition but that photograph you showed makes it clear how keenly police are, the anti—corruption authorities, to get the message out

there that they are on his case. mira; there that they are on his case. why has this crackdown happen now and what is the reaction inside of ukraine? ~ ., , ~ what is the reaction inside of ukraine? ~ . , ,, ., ., ukraine? ukraine very keen to 'oin the eu ukraine? ukraine very keen to 'oin the to match �* ukraine? ukraine very keen to 'oin the eu match have i ukraine? ukraine very keen to 'oin the eu match have made i ukraine? ukraine very keen to 'oin the eu match have made no i ukraine? ukraine very keen to joinj the eu match have made no bones about it, you must deal with corruption. but it is important for ukraine to keep up its international image. the thanksgiving for foreign weapons given to ukraine to help defeat the russian invasion, that is only going to come for as long as public opinion is with ukraine. when critics want to say we should not support ukraine, we should not be fighting their work, one thing they point to as allegations of corruption. very important for ukraine to avoid having that image, so it is doing this crackdown but it has a difficult problem. 0n the one hand it is seen to be cracking down, on the other hand it exposes potentially how deep the corruption may be. people inside ukraine have that two sided view of things, fury

at what is going on. people do not like corruption anyway, imagine in the middle of the war you find out these brides are being given but it was summed up by the news site, it said the detention of ukraine's supreme court on suspicion of a bright could be one of the most high—profile anti—corruption investigations in the history of independent ukraine. pare investigations in the history of independent ukraine. are really im ortant independent ukraine. are really important aspect _ independent ukraine. are really important aspect of— independent ukraine. are really important aspect of the - independent ukraine. are really important aspect of the story. l independent ukraine. are really - important aspect of the story. thank you very much for taking us through all of that. in the past hour, sam altman, the ceo and co—founder of 0penai, has begun giving evidence before a congressional committee in washington. 0penai is the company behind the artificial intelligence tool chatgpt that has the potential, to revolutionise how people — work, shop and interact. he's being questioned by us lawmakers both about the huge benefits the technology could bring and the threat artificial intelligence could pose for humanity, plus the safeguards that will be needed. in march, elon musk and other tech leaders published an open letter calling for the development of ai systems to be paused. in his opening statement in the past

hour, sam altman highlighted the immense benefits ai could bring. in his opening statement in the past hour, sam altman highlighted the immense benefits ai could bring. 0penai was founded on the belief that artificial intelligence has the potential to improve nearly every aspect of our lives, but also that it creates serious risks we have to work together to manage. we are here because people love this technology, we think it can be a printing press moment. we have to work together to make it so. 0penai is an unusual company and we set it up that way because ai is an unusual technology. we are governed by a nonprofit and our activities are driven by our mission and our charter which commit us to working to ensure the broad distribution of the benefits of ai and to maximising the safety of ai systems.

we are working to build tools that one day can help us make new discoveries and address some of humanity's biggest challenges, like climate change and curing cancer. our current systems aren't yet capable of doing these things, but it has been immensely gratifying to watch many people around the world get so much value from already what these systems can already do today. live now to our technology reporter, shiona mccallum. he went on to explain the worst potential consequences of ai. he went on to explain the worst potential consequences of al. n potential consequences of ai. 1 thinkjobs and employment potential consequences of ai. i thinkjobs and employment and what we are all going to do with our time really matters. i agree when we get to a very powerful system, the landscape will change. i think i am more optimistic that we are incredibly creative and find new things to do with better tools that will keep happening. my worst fears are that we cause significant, we, the field, the technology, the industry, cause significant harm to

the world, i think that could happen a lot of different ways, it is why we started the company. it is a big part of why i am here today and when we have been here in the past, able to spend some time with you. i think if this technology goes wrong it can go quite wrong and we want to be vocal about that. we want to work with the government to prevent that from happening but we try to be very clear eyed about what the downside cases and the work that we have to do to mitigate that. let me take you back to proceedings, we are only about an hour into it, it is absolutely fascinating. let's listen. ., ., . ., listen. you are protecting that individual's _ listen. you are protecting that individual's right _ listen. you are protecting that individual's right to _ listen. you are protecting that individual's right to privacy - listen. you are protecting that| individual's right to privacy and their— individual's right to privacy and their right _ individual's right to privacy and their right to secure that data and that creative work. a their right to secure that data and that creative work.— their right to secure that data and that creative work. a few thoughts about this- — that creative work. a few thoughts about this. number _ that creative work. a few thoughts about this. number one _ that creative work. a few thoughts about this. number one we - that creative work. a few thoughts about this. number one we think. about this. number one we think people should be able to say i do not want my personal data trained on. i think that is... is a

coming out of the blocks and now we are grappling to try and regulate social media and see if we can undo some of the harms that have already been caused. with some of the harms that have already been caused. with al they want to take a different approach. if you think about it at the moment it's in the embryonic stages as to where the technology might go. he was talking about solving climate change, curing cancer, huge claims and we are really at the very beginning of chat pt which came onto the market in november and has acted as a very advanced jackpot but it is nowhere near the likes of curing cancer. what was interesting when we had from some of the senators there, the beginning of the session, one of the senators had their voice which was generated by artificial intelligence and that had been written by chat pt, he said i did not open my mouth at all. yet this technology was able to mimic him and he said that was

kind of similarto to mimic him and he said that was kind of similar to some of the dangers and concerns that were raised. you can mimic, impersonate someone, how do we mitigate against that type of technology being used in a more sinister way? there were also concerns about how do we protect children from this technology? can it give teenagers advice about how to self—harm for example or light to their parents. lots of real questions affecting households up and down the country. we have done loads of stories about how chat she pt has infiltrated education and medical services are using it. this is a question for a lot of indices and it's interesting the senators are putting the questions towards sam altman who has been very frank. we discussed before what his personality is like, he is someone willing to say there are problems i want to address them, he has been very calm and measured and answered something, not had a grilling i don't think. they have

been treating him with quite a lot of grace so far but he has had sensible questions and has been giving sensible answers. the sensible questions and has been giving sensible answers.- sensible questions and has been giving sensible answers. the list of concerns was _ giving sensible answers. the list of concerns was extremely _ giving sensible answers. the list of concerns was extremely long, - giving sensible answers. the list of concerns was extremely long, you | concerns was extremely long, you touched on some. misinformation, jobs, elections, all of that but in terms of solutions, we heard them say there were solutions. what do they think real? to say there were solutions. what do they think real?— they think real? to be honest i think it is _ they think real? to be honest i think it is coming _ they think real? to be honest i think it is coming down - they think real? to be honest i think it is coming down to - they think real? to be honest i think it is coming down to the l they think real? to be honest i - think it is coming down to the crux of the question which is regulation. we have seen italy last month banning chat she pt over the concerns about it. we have seen lots of government discuss how they are going to regulate in the future. we have the white paper here in britain saying how this is going to be dealt with. the us have not made strict rules and regulations are going to be key how to control this artificial intelligence in the future as it grows and evolves at such a rapid pace.

we will return to capitol hill and hear more of around the world and across the uk, this is bbc news. food prices continued to soar over the last year, according to new research as the prime minister meets industry leaders over high costs. supermarkets and farmers will discuss with rishi sunak how the uk can improve how it produces and sells food. consumer group which? said the price of some goods jumped by 25% compared to last year with dairy goods such as cheese seeing the biggest rise. the general secretary of the royal college of nursing, pat cullen, has used her speech at the union's annual congress to urge members to vote in the upcoming ballot on further strike action in england. the rcn has rejected the government's pay offer, which was accepted by a number of other health unions. ms cullen told the congress that if the rcn secured a mandate for strikes, the government would be forced to make concessions. vodafone will axe 11,000 jobs over the next three years

as the new chief executive sets out plans to "simplify" the telecoms giant, the cuts equal a tenth of its global workforce and affect its uk headquarters and other countries. the uk telecoms giant has struggled with higher energy bills which are driving up costs and impacting its profits. you're live with bbc news. a bbc investigation has found that a british businessman, whose foreign companies were at the centre of an international money laundering investigation, is a major donor to the british conservative party. some ofjavad marandi's companies were alleged to be involved in a scheme to move money from one of azerbaijan's richest oligarchs out of britain. mr marandi is not subject to any criminal action and denies any wrongdoing, as dominic casciani reports. wealthy and well—connected, this is javad marandi. awarded an 0be for services

to business and philanthropy, he's been a major tory donor, with access to senior party leaders. one of mr marandi's british companies is the famous design brand, the conran shop. it's not involved in this case, which raised questions about some of his overseas interests. those questions emerged from a national crime agency investigation into the wealth of a family living here, a multi—million pound apartment near london's regent's park. the head of the family, javanshir feyziyev, is an old associate of mr marandi and one of azerbaijan's richest oligarchs. last year, a court ruled the nca could seize £5 million from the family's uk bank accounts. it had been part of billions that disappeared from azerbaijan in a global money laundering scandal. and paul radu... the azerbaijani laundromat was only discovered because of the work ofjournalists. i believe the azerbaijani laundromat brought a lot of damage on many levels to azerbaijan itself. to the european union, to the us and other parts of the world. small businesses lost a lot of money because of the azerbaijani laundromat.

a judge ruled that companies owned byjavad marandi played a key role in moving some of the cash to london. the case starts with $1.5 billion leaving azerbaijan for shell companies registered in glasgow. tens of millions were moved again to the seychelles, to the avromed company, owned by djavad marandi. ajudge said how the cash moved back to the uk looked like money laundering and that mr marandi was a person of importance in the nca's case. mr marandi's lawyers argued all the money was lawfully earned and transferred, so he should remain anonymous to protect his reputation. the bbc said it was in the public interest to name him and judges agreed in an important ruling about freedom of the

media versus privacy. the case also raises political questions. this is a political bombshell. we've learned today that someone who has given hundreds of thousands of pounds to a british political party has, in the words of the judge, been a person of importance in proceedings before the court about a major money laundering enterprise. and that should be a concern not just people who are worried about where that money came from, but about what it says about how easily money can reach political parties without due — proper checks on its origins. the national crime agency won't say if javad marandi is under investigation. mr marandi says none of his business interests have ever been the subject of investigations into unlawful conduct. leonardo di caprio, robert de niro, harrison ford and scarlettjohannsen

franco algerian film—maker in which he plays the french king louis xv and i went to see the film this morning at a press screening and i was actually quite impressed. he does not matter too many words but it's an interesting film about this character who is played as a very manipulative woman, but ultimately love triumphs. i almost shed a tear. johnny depp hopes it will go over well and it will go some way towards rehabilitating his career as an actor. , ., , rehabilitating his career as an actor. ,,,, ., rehabilitating his career as an actor. i”, ., ., rehabilitating his career as an actor. �* ., , , , , ., ., ., rehabilitating his career as an actor. , , ,, ., ., ., , actor. johnny depp and old hand but there is the — actor. johnny depp and old hand but there is the first _ actor. johnny depp and old hand but there is the first sudanese _ actor. johnny depp and old hand but there is the first sudanese film - actor. johnny depp and old hand but there is the first sudanese film to i there is the first sudanese film to be shown, tell me about that and a director. it be shown, tell me about that and a director. , , director. it is the first time ever a film from _ director. it is the first time ever a film from sudan _ director. it is the first time ever a film from sudan has - director. it is the first time ever a film from sudan has been - director. it is the first time ever a film from sudan has been the | a film from sudan has been the official selection, that is a big

had clashes in india so we will get up had clashes in india so we will get up to speed with that story. coming up up to speed with that story. coming up in the next few minutes. don't go away. hello there. a fairly quiet weather day. a few showers around. it was a chilly old start this morning due to the largely clear skies overnight. but since then, we have seen more scenes like this, some patchy fairweather cloud bubble up. so through the rest of the week, then, temperatures gradually on the rise, we'll hold on to some largely dry conditions, too. so, the reason behind the settled conditions is this broad area of high pressure. the winds typically coming in from the northwest where we have had some exposure. for example, the northern isles, quite chilly here, but for most of us, it has felt a little bit warmer out there today because of those winds have been on the lighter side. so temperatures for many around the mid—teens. so, scattered showers mainly focused across parts of scotland, northern england and northern ireland will gradually fade away through the evening hours. and then overnight, a legacy of some cloud in places.

i think for most of us, it will be milder than the nightjust gone. still quite chilly, though, for the likes of northeast scotland and the northern isles. here just two—three celsius in places. then high pressure still on the scene. we do have this weather frontjust working around the top of the high that's going to bring a bit more cloud later to parts of northern ireland. and scotland will see some outbreaks of rain arriving too, together with some brisk winds. but actually for much of the uk, it will be a dry and fine day with some sunshine and a partial build up of cloud. and for many of us, temperatures getting up into the mid—teens in some of the warmest spots, 17, 18 celsius possible looking further out then on thursday, high pressure still sticking around. so when a cold front does head our way, it's not really going to bring any big changes. and also, here's a look at the air mass chart, these yellow and orange shades indicating some warmer air on the way. so, thursday itself, then, any early mist or fog will soon lift. and then we're left with some spells of sunshine. meanwhile, further north, it will be a cloudier story at times, with a chance for a few spots of light, rain and drizzle and for more of us feeling warmer, with temperatures getting up to around 17—18 celsius more widely. looking at the outlook then,

friday into the weekend, still some fairly lengthy dry spells in the forecast. temperatures on the rise, too. so in the sunshine, it should feel pleasantly warm. and that's your latest forecast. looking at the outlook then, friday into the weekend, still some fairly lengthy dry spells in the forecast. temperatures on the rise, too. so in the sunshine, it should feel pleasantly warm. and that's your latest forecast.
