missiles of various types, were shot down. this footage showing kyiv�*s air defences in action. at least three people were injured by debris. in a tweet, ukraine's defence minister said: "another unbelievable success for the ukrainian air forces". last night, our sky defenders shot down six russian hypersonic missiles and 12 others. ukrainian officials have declined to comment on a claim moscow that one missile got through air defences to destroy a us—built patriot surface—to—air anti—missile defence system. 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. earlier i spoke to petro poroshenko, who served as president of ukraine from 2014 to 2019. he is currently the ukrainian parliament member on the ukraine—eu intergration comittee. he denied russian claims that the us

patriot systems had been destroyed. but he started by giving us the latest on the bombardment overnight. this morning, 3am, all kyiv citizens were awakened by the blasts and by the work of russian of russian missile and ukrainian air defence system. and i am proud that in the year 2014, when we have an empty treasury, when we have no money in golden currency reserve, it was my work to create the air defence of kyiv, and i'm proud that putin plan to attack and destroy kyiv government, and everything was hit by the ukrainian defence soldiers. but now we are much stronger because of the supply of our partners, including great britain. first of all, united states, germany, france, which deliver now the air defence. we demonstrate that the improvement

that the nato�*s air defence, nato�*s standard weapons is dominating. and russia, even using their most modern missile, cannot do anything with nato weapons. previously. previously, they had claimed that these missiles couldn't be shot down by defence systems. how did the ukrainian authorities manage to do it? of the generals. i cannot say more, but i know that the six kim jong il missiles, which was so advertised by putin that this is absolutely no defense against that was hit. let's imagine that we do it also with the participation of the american patriot system. but this is not only because of the patriot,

not only because of the other arms, but because of the level of the professionalism of ukrainian armed forces which was created. you mentioned there the patriot missile system, the american system. putin wants to use a propaganda as a separate weapon. we do not trust putin and that's why this weapon is useless. in putin and that's why this weapon is useless. , ., ,., ., useless. in terms of the patriot s stem useless. in terms of the patriot system and _ useless. in terms of the patriot system and in _ useless. in terms of the patriot system and in terms _ useless. in terms of the patriot system and in terms of - useless. in terms of the patriot system and in terms of clarity i useless. in terms of the patriotl system and in terms of clarity of the numbers, how many patriot

systems are now on the ground working? it is definitely not enough, point number one, but it is in the professional hands of ukrainian soldiers. it is sufficient. and in terms of kyiv, of course, it has been targeted. i think it's eight times this month a real step up in terms of the russian offensive. does it feel to you, you're there, like a step change after relative relative calm over the last 50 days or so? this is the biggest attack during maybe last six or seven months, definitely. maybe from the april year 2022, when kyiv was almost encircled. and me, together with my team, together with a battalion of territorial defense, with the weapons in the hands protected kyiv. but yes, ukrainian air defense

demonstrate the miracle. but again, we need to stop russian dominance in ukraine and air it that need two things f—16 and long range missile. and again, from all of my heart, i want to thank the british government, british people for delivering for us the storm, a long range missile and even more. i can confirm you that some of these missiles is already very efficiently used against russian. those missiles have already been use and president zelensky was in written history and other european leaders talking about the coalition ofjets he wants and you just repeated it was stopped does it feel they are in ukraine that you're getting close to that moment from

european countries delivering that coalition ofjets? i european countries delivering that coalition ofjets?— coalition of 'ets? i was the fifth resident coalition of jets? i was the fifth president of — coalition of jets? i was the fifth president of ukraine _ coalition of jets? i was the fifth president of ukraine which - coalition of jets? i was the fifth . president of ukraine which fighting forfive years, and it's impossible to be the president of the country in a state of war and not to be an optimist. we have first a coalition of the tanks and armoured personnel carriers, then we have a coalition of air defence, then we have a coalition of long range missile, we definitely think that any moment, at any part of the battlefield, ukraine ready to start offensive operation. russia definitely know how we do that. that would not be an easy walk. it would be disastrous and we understand how difficult is our aim, but we are fighting for our soil, we

are fighting for our people and at the end of the day we are fighting for you. the end of the day we are fighting for ou. ., ., , the end of the day we are fighting for ou. . ., ~ ., �*, ., for you. that was ukraine's former resident for you. that was ukraine's former president president _ for you. that was ukraine's former president president talking - for you. that was ukraine's former president president talking to - for you. that was ukraine's former president president talking to me | president president talking to me earlier in the programme. in a separate ukraine event. so that separate ukraine event. so that separate development from ukraine to stop now in the last few minutes you case prime minister has been speaking about ukraine. he is there at that gathering in reykjavik in iceland and he said he also plans to discuss the longer—term security implications for ukraine and also we discussed the issue of migration. he has been talking to allison. be

place in the uk, that's our stop the boats bill which is novel and ambitions but i think it complies with our international obligations but we want to make sure the european court is always conducting itself in a way which is fair and effective and transparent and that's the type of composition i'll be happy and with the european court president today. you happy and with the european court president today.— president today. you want to push for reform in _ president today. you want to push for reform in the _ president today. you want to push for reform in the echr? _ president today. you want to push for reform in the echr? it's - president today. you want to push for reform in the echr? it's hard l president today. you want to push l for reform in the echr? it's hard to see there is much appetite for that. actually, the european court itself is undertaking an internal review of a rule 39 process. the rule 39 are thejudgements or a rule 39 process. the rule 39 are the judgements or temporary judgements the european court has issued in the past to stop countries from us like doing things. we want to make sure that reform process is concluded and it's a reform process the court itself has embarked on. the previous just a sectary from the uk has had conversations with the european court already and the attorney general has had conversations i know i will be

having conversations to make all review known that that process is working in a way that is fair and transparent and effective. i think that something everyone can get behind. d0 that something everyone can get behind. ,, ~' ,, that something everyone can get behind. ,, ~ ,, that something everyone can get behind. ~ behind. do you think you can achieve somethin: behind. do you think you can achieve something with _ behind. do you think you can achieve something with european _ behind. do you think you can achieve something with european leaders - something with european leaders today? 0r something with european leaders today? or is itjust rhetoric for domestic consumption? the today? or is itjust rhetoric for domestic consumption? the uk has a lona track domestic consumption? the uk has a long track record _ domestic consumption? the uk has a long track record of _ domestic consumption? the uk has a long track record of leading _ domestic consumption? the uk has a long track record of leading and - long track record of leading and being at the heart of these conversations, in fact winston churchill was part of the founding partners of the organisation we are talking about today and when it comes to the european court in particular again, comes to the european court in particularagain, it comes to the european court in particular again, it was the uk who led reforms previously such as the brighton declaration which meant the process was change previously. we would be billing on that going forward and we have a track record of seeing change happen and the court itself is interested in seeing changes. 0ne court itself is interested in seeing changes. one of my primary focus is for the countries to stop the boats and will do everything for that and we will work with other countries to do so that's why we are here in

iceland. i would do so that's why we are here in iceland. iwould not do so that's why we are here in iceland. i would not rest until we can do to stop the boats and that's why i'm here. this picture prime minister rishi sunak there in reykjavik iceland and will keep an eye on that. reykjavik iceland and will keep an eye on that-— eye on that. emir your story in washington — eye on that. emir your story in washington the _ eye on that. emir your story in washington the last _ eye on that. emir your story in washington the last few - eye on that. emir your story in | washington the last few hours. the head of the company behind the artificial intelligence tool, chatgpt, has told us senators that government intervention is needed to keep the industry safe. sam altman has been giving evidence to congress for the first time. he suggested ai could be as significant as the invention of the printing press , claiming it had the potential to improve nearly every aspect of our lives. but mr altman admitted the technology posed serious risks and needed safeguards. my my worst fears is that we cause harm to the world and i think that could happen in a number of ways which is why we started the company and a big

part of why i'm here today and why we are here in the past and spent 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 the downside case is and the work we have to do to mitigate that. live now to our technology reporter, shiona mccallum. it's been a fascinating session with honest and direct answers to a lot of the questions, in terms of your assessment what have you made of it? we expected sam altman to be clear and frank, he is an el optimist who said the lifeblood of everything he has been doing and saying how passionate he is about the capabilities that al has in the future but he has been honest about some of those pitfalls and concerns. the nervousness he has around if we don't regulate what might happen

with this artificial intelligence and where it might be going because he made some huge claims. you know, curing cancer and stopping climate change number so we are only at the beginnings of this technology and where it can go is massive but regulation is key. in the last 30 minutes we have had a bit more clarity about that regulation and things of gotten a little bit more feisty as well. in things of gotten a little bit more feisty as well-— feisty as well. in terms of those exchanges _ feisty as well. in terms of those exchanges you _ feisty as well. in terms of those exchanges you are _ feisty as well. in terms of those exchanges you are absolutely i feisty as well. in terms of those - exchanges you are absolutely right, there have been some sharp exchanges as well but we also heard from ibm on the pain also being asked questions. in terms of solutions, was there an agreement? yes there was there an agreement? yes there was and it was _ was there an agreement? yes there was and it was interesting _ was there an agreement? yes there was and it was interesting to - was there an agreement? yes there was and it was interesting to hear . was and it was interesting to hear some of the specifics about the solution because web heard the broad idea of regulation appointed now but we hadn't heard the details. some of the things mentioned was forming a new agency that can distribute licenses to distribute or control of

the stuff. stopping ai in its tracks if it's under lessons than it can be withdrawn at any point which is interesting. another thing is creating safety standards for al to pass a certain test before it is allowed out and models are used to. and then implemented independent audits but not internal to open ai audits but not internal to open al or government bodies but have an independent people looking at the stuff and assessing if they are complying with the regulations and putting a halt to it if they are not. we are getting more detail and i think what we're seeing is the centre is using this opportunity to speak to some altman and get his idea about how we can help regulate and he is giving pretty honest and frank advice and good to get that detail, actually, because we are all wondering how we could go about regulating artificial intelligence in the future. in regulating artificial intelligence in the future.— in the future. in terms of the lawmakers — in the future. in terms of the lawmakers themselves - in the future. in terms of the lawmakers themselves they l in the future. in terms of the - lawmakers themselves they were open at the start that they miss the

chance with social media to regulate it better and we have seen the consequences of that, they don't want to repeat that mistake do they? they don't want to repeat that mistake and we have seen that with facebook and instagram and some of the more sinister things that have happened on those platforms, which they have scrambled to regulate in they have scrambled to regulate in the last few years when we have had the last few years when we have had the these platforms for the last three decades. so this is the opportunity to work with those at the forefront of artificial intelligence and works beside them and hope we can avoid the catastrophic situations we had with the likes of facebook and instagram and other social networks. i think thatis and other social networks. i think that is why we are hearing from some altman so soon and it took a long time for mark zuckerberg to come before congress and here got a grilling but this is seen as a different approach with getting some altman in the embryonic stages of artificial intelligence and we are hearing from him before he gets out of control. ., ~ hearing from him before he gets out of control. ., ,, , ., ., ,

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 — 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. cannes is preparing for the opening ceremonies of the 76th edition of its film festival. leonardo di caprio, harrison ford and scarlettjohannsen are just a few of the movie stars attending.

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 tomorrow. 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 at 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.
