8:00 pm
hello, i'm christian fraser. you're watching the context on bbc news. 98% chance, according to un's weather expert, that one year in the next five will be the hardest ever recorded. —— hottest ever recorded. in the coming five years, the estimation is that the arctic temuratures will be three times the global averages. we're heading into unprecedented territory, to temperatures we simply haven't experienced before, and the impacts will be equally unprecedented.
8:01 pm
good evening. are we acting with enough urgency to tackle the climate crisis? the un confirmed today what we've known for some time — there is no credible pathway to maintaining the average temperature rise to 1.5 celsius. in fact, it is now 66% likely we will be there within five years. we will talk about that, and what we must do. good news today for renters here in england — a new renters charter that if passed could outlaw no—fault evictions. so what will that do to the market? the car manufactures sounded the alarm today — thousands ofjobs could be lost unless the brexit trade deal is altered. we will get a response to that. and the titanic like you have never seen it — what new secrets will these latest images reveal. but first, to the problems facing our planet. there is one number heard more than any other when the united nations talk climate change — 1.5 degrees celsius. scientists have long believed that if we can keep average global there is one number heard more than any other warming at that level, compared to pre—industrial levels,
8:02 pm
then we can stave off the extreme weather patterns that will result. since 2020, the world meteorological organisation has given an estimate of the chances the world breaks that threshold in any one year. three years ago, they said it was 20% likely in the five years ahead. last year, that had increased that to 50% likely. now it has jumped to 66%. on top, there is a 98% chance the warmest year on record will come before 2027. and over that same period, the arctic will probably be heating three times faster than the global average. and the most dramatic changes we expect to happen — in the arctic, we have already seen more than double the global warming taking place, and during the coming five years the estimation is that the arctic temperatures would be three times the global average. so we will see more dramatic impacts there.
8:03 pm
joining me from delhi is harjeet singh, head of global political strategy at climate action network. and the climate policy expert thomas rivett—carnac, who was former political strategist for the united nations framework convention on climate change. thank you both for being with us. thomas, let me start with you because you've been involved in a lot of this research before with the un, why is the percentage chance of 1.5 increasing from 20—66% in just three years? but 1.5 increasing from 20-66% in “ust threeyearsv— 1.5 increasing from 20-66% in “ust three ears? , _ ., , three years? but simply, the reality is that we just _ three years? but simply, the reality is that we just haven't _ three years? but simply, the reality is that we just haven't been - is that we just haven't been reducing emissions, and there was a dip during covid but that's now come up again. and over time, potential consequences turned into real consequences turned into real consequences unless we are able to actually dramatically reduce our emissions and invest in natural ecosystems second balances out, then this will continue to get bigger. so it's not surprising the risk is getting greater, what is of concern
8:04 pm
is it's happening so quickly. we knew we were on track to breach the 1.5 threshold unless we did something drastic that i could drastic in the 20 30s, we are now told it'll be in the next five years. if told it'll be in the next five ears. told it'll be in the next five ears, , , told it'll be in the next five ears. , , , ., years. if we passed the threshold in the next few — years. if we passed the threshold in the next few years, _ years. if we passed the threshold in the next few years, is _ years. if we passed the threshold in the next few years, is it _ years. if we passed the threshold in the next few years, is it still- the next few years, is it still possible to bring it back down, or is that the tipping point, the point of no return?— is that the tipping point, the point of no return?_ of no return? scientists have very clearly said _ of no return? scientists have very clearly said it _ of no return? scientists have very clearly said it is _ of no return? scientists have very clearly said it is a _ of no return? scientists have very clearly said it is a temporary - of no return? scientists have very clearly said it is a temporary rise l clearly said it is a temporary rise in temperatures, and we can definitely bring it back. and as thomas— definitely bring it back. and as thomas said, we will have to dramatically cut emissions, and those _ dramatically cut emissions, and those options are available — there is a report— those options are available — there is a report that came out earlier this year— is a report that came out earlier this year that said we had choices to make — this year that said we had choices to make -- — this year that said we had choices to make —— the ipcc report. if we invest— to make —— the ipcc report. if we invest more — to make —— the ipcc report. if we invest more in renewable energy, it's possible. it's all about the political— it's possible. it's all about the political will. solutions are there, we need — political will. solutions are there, we need now to implement and put their resources where it's needed. what _ their resources where it's needed.

8:07 pm
happen with renewable energy and heat pumps, it happens with insulation, we are seeing rising costs of conventional energy and dropping costs of renewable energy. the best we can hope for is that these warnings we are now hearing that are so stark on 1.5 and more in terms of warming, along with the investments we've been making for decades and the solutions will actually lead to a rapidly accelerated curve of deployment of solutions so we can stop this before it gets any worse. {lit solutions so we can stop this before it gets any worse-— it gets any worse. of course, what we are looking _ it gets any worse. of course, what we are looking at _ it gets any worse. of course, what we are looking at is _ it gets any worse. of course, what we are looking at is trends - it gets any worse. of course, what we are looking at is trends over. we are looking at is trends over time, but increasingly and with some regularity now, we are seeing extreme weather events all around the world. can we talk about the one we are expecting this summer, which is the el nino effect — what sort of effect will that have on global temperatures? 50 effect will that have on global temperatures?— effect will that have on global temeratures? . ,. , , temperatures? so what scientists have predicted — temperatures? so what scientists have predicted that _ temperatures? so what scientists have predicted that in _ temperatures? so what scientists have predicted that in the - temperatures? so what scientists have predicted that in the next i have predicted that in the next couple — have predicted that in the next couple of — have predicted that in the next couple of months, mostly in 2024, that will_ couple of months, mostly in 2024, that will push the temperature to

8:10 pm
this is bologna, where cars and trucks were stranded in flooded streets. in venice, they have put up moses the flood barrier to spare the city — first time they have done that in may. terrible scenes across northern italy. prince harry says he and his wife were involved in a "near catastrophic" car chase on tuesday evening after an awards cereremony in new york. there's a lot we don't know about this. our reporter has been trying to piece it together. you'll make what we know is it 6:45pm new york time, and harry, meghan and her mum were seen... fit time, and harry, meghan and her mum were seen- - -— were seen... at 7pm it began, and at 10m the were seen... at 7pm it began, and at 10pm they were _ were seen... at 7pm it began, and at 10pm they were seen _ were seen... at 7pm it began, and at 10pm they were seen leaving. - 10pm they were seen leaving. now importantly they got into a suv which left the ballroom in manhattan and headed off. now they were later seenin and headed off. now they were later
8:11 pm
seen in a yellow taxi, but what we don't know is what happened between them getting into the black suv and being photographed in the yellow taxi. we've become aware of this just after 3pm uk time here in the newsroom, and we are alerted to this statement by the duke and duchess of sussex. now they talk about an aggressive car chase which had near catastrophic consequences at the hands of the paparazzi, and they say this lasted over two hours. now the mayor of new york, eric adams, had this to say. i mayor of new york, eric adams, had this to say-— this to say. i would find it hard to believe that _ this to say. i would find it hard to believe that there _ this to say. i would find it hard to believe that there was _ this to say. i would find it hard to believe that there was a - this to say. i would find it hard to believe that there was a two - this to say. i would find it hard toj believe that there was a two hour high—speed chase, i would find that hard to— high—speed chase, i would find that hard to believe. but we will find out the — hard to believe. but we will find out the exact duration of it. but if it was— out the exact duration of it. but if it was ten— out the exact duration of it. but if it was ten minutes, a ten minute chase _ it was ten minutes, a ten minute chase is extremely dangerous in new york city _ chase is extremely dangerous in new york city. we have a lot of traffic, a lot _ york city. we have a lot of traffic, a lot of— york city. we have a lot of traffic, a lot of movement, a lot of people are using _ a lot of movement, a lot of people are using our streets. any type of high—speed chase that involves

8:13 pm
really, there are a whole load of blinks that still need filling out. we're still not quite sure what's happened, it's especially between them getting into the suv and being photographed in the yellow taxi. it's still hard to piece together what exactly happened on wednesday night. let's bring in our royal correspondent nicholas witchell. can you put this into contest? yes, it's a matter _ can you put this into contest? yes, it's a matter of _ can you put this into contest? yes, it's a matter of perception. - can you put this into contest? yes it's a matter of perception. we seem to have been here before with the suffixes. clearly something happened, something worrying which, had you been at the centre of it, would've been quite alarming. but whether itjustified this dramatic, hyperbolic, rather breathless statement put out by the sussexes
8:14 pm
spokesman a while ago... it reads like a tabloid story in itself, doesn't it? you have to wonder who wrote it. and hasn't left the sussexes looking sensible? i question really, as it appears not now to be substantiated by the nypd, by the mayor of new york. and here's the latest from cbs, our colleagues of the american network, i will go to law enforcement forces have told cbs that apparently no one was in danger during the pursuit. "sources of told cbs that the paparazzi were following prince harry and meghan for about an hour" — so about less than half the time the sussexes are claiming — "they took refuge in the nypd station in the 19th precinct and were able to switch vehicles to get away." so that is part of the conflicting perception about this event, i think we just must await
8:15 pm
further details, but i think the way in which the sussex spokesperson has pitched this is looking increasingly questionable — though i stress something clearly did happen, which must�*ve been frightening had you been at the centre of it. now in a situation such as that, it comes down to how experienced is your driver, how good is the protection team around you? i was struck by something that was set on the bbc if few hours ago by a former scotland yard detective who was bodyguard to harry when he was a child, and a princess diana — and he said, "the last thing you do is to start a chase and try to lose them, because the chances are you will not succeed. if your driver puts his foot down and tries to get away, it simply won't work. what you have to do is try to find a way to calm the situation," and that does not appear to have happen to. situation,�* and that does not appear to have happen to.— to have happen to. that's really important _ to have happen to. that's really important details, _ to have happen to. that's really important details, nick, - to have happen to. that's really

8:17 pm
well, to get a bit of perspective on how the paparazzi work, let's go live now to allison schrager, senior fellow at the manhattan institute and a columnist for bloomberg. she's spent time with new york paparazzi. there's clearly lots of huge interest, what did you make of nick witchel telling us about the varying accounts we have? i witchel telling us about the varying accounts we have?— accounts we have? i really don't know, accounts we have? i really don't know. there's — accounts we have? i really don't know, there's a _ accounts we have? i really don't know, there's a lot _ accounts we have? i really don't know, there's a lot of _ accounts we have? i really don't know, there's a lot of detail i accounts we have? i really don't know, there's a lot of detail to l know, there's a lot of detail to make a details that still need to be filled in, and it does seem like it was a very scary situation at the very least. but in some ways i found it surprising because cases like this tend to be unusual, you don't hear so much about them any more, just because the economic benefits of the paparazzi of getting a shot of the paparazzi of getting a shot of them is just not what it used to be. so while we used to care about these things all the time like in
8:18 pm
2008 or before, they are becoming increasingly rare since the economics of the industry have changed. d0 economics of the industry have chanced. ,, ~ economics of the industry have chanced. ,., ~ �*, economics of the industry have chanced. ~ �*, ., changed. do you think it's a new york thing? _ changed. do you think it's a new york thing? obviously _ changed. do you think it's a new york thing? obviously they i changed. do you think it's a new| york thing? obviously they come changed. do you think it's a new i york thing? obviously they come from york thing? 0bviously they come from california where there is an awful lot of celebrity, it's a celebrity culture. was the interest heightened because they were in new york? for sure, i because they were in new york? igrr' sure, i think what's changed in the industry isn't unique to new york, but the entire media system where before hand, a shot of harry and meghan getting in and out of their car might have been £10,000, it certainly would've been that much about 15 years ago. but now that most of the stuff is online, if you're not getting an exclusive photo of them, you might expect to be getting 8— £20 for that shot. so it wouldn't be worth putting your life or the lives of new york pedestrians in danger. the two . uestions pedestrians in danger. the two questions i _ pedestrians in danger. the two questions i have _ pedestrians in danger. the two questions i have our _ pedestrians in danger. the two questions i have our first i pedestrians in danger. the two questions i have our first of i pedestrians in danger. the two| questions i have our first of all, what were the nypd doing? there were
8:19 pm
officers there so we need to hear their account. the second, referring to what nick said about the way you deal with this if you're a role driver, even real security, deal with this if you're a role driver, even realsecurity, is deal with this if you're a role driver, even real security, is why did they switch? if they felt they were in danger, why they switch from a suv to a new york yellow cab, to a car that the driver would have no skills to evade paparazzi if they were following? it doesn't seem a safe thing to do.— safe thing to do. that seems curious, they _ safe thing to do. that seems curious, they don't _ safe thing to do. that seems curious, they don't have i safe thing to do. that seems curious, they don't have the | safe thing to do. that seems i curious, they don't have the same level of security nor the training — new york taxi drivers are very well trained in new york traffic, they certainly trained to evade paparazzi. so it seems in all choice, especially because a text he couldn't accommodate your security detail. but maybe they were desperate to try to throw them off the trail? i don't know.— the trail? i don't know. allison, thanks very _ the trail? i don't know. allison, thanks very much. _
8:20 pm
around the world and across the uk, this is bbc news. let's look at some of the other stories making headlines today. a bbc investigation has found a lack of significant progress towards borisjohnson's high—profile election pledge of building 40 new hospitals in england by 2030. more than three quarters of the hospital trusts involved said they didn't have clarity over funding, and hadn't even begun building work. it's been suggested ministers underestimated how long the projects would take. a hearing into the metropolitan police's treatment of protesters on coronation day was briefly interrupted byjust stop 0il activists this morning. the home affairs committee's hearing was paused about 25 minutes into proceedings. ajust stop 0il spokesperson said removing the protesters from the committee room was "a continuation of the silencing of legitimate dissent we saw at the coronation". the chancellorjeremy hunt has said the "default" location for workers should be in the office, unless there is a good reason to work from home. the latest statistics show that around one fith of people work from the office and remotely, while less than 8% of workers were based at home permanently.
8:21 pm
you're live with bbc news. the government has tabled draught legislation today to ban landlords in england from evicting tenants without justification. the proposed overhaul of the private rental sector would also make it illegal for a landlord to refuse tenancies to families with children, or those receiving benefits. currently the private renter sector accounts for around one in five households — that's around 11 million people. the government said these "once in a generation" reforms will benefit tenants giving them more security, but labour says it isn't clear they will address the problem of ever—increasing prices, in what it desribes as the "wild west" rental market. we are joined by michael deas, spokesperson for the london renters union. thank you very much for being with us. the principal change here is that it bands section 21 evictions,
8:22 pm
so—called no—fault evictions. what impact do you think that will have on the market?— on the market? we've been campaigning _ on the market? we've been campaigning for— on the market? we've been campaigning for this - on the market? we've beenj campaigning for this change on the market? we've been i campaigning for this change for on the market? we've been - campaigning for this change for the last five years, for this ban on no—fault evictions because we know that it's not right that landlords have the power to evict us for no reason at all, and we know that landlords use that power routinely to evict when they complain about urgent safety issues with their home. so today's news as a vet to make a massive victory for the grassroots campaign which has been campaigning for this, grassroots campaign which has been campaigning forthis, but grassroots campaign which has been campaigning for this, but we are also really worried because today, looking at the legislation that's come out, it looks like the government is trying to sneak in some loopholes here. for example in the last six months or so, we've had members coming to us with 5000— £7,000 rent increases, and there's nothing today that will be able to stop landlords from making these huge rent increases to force tenants out of their homes, and there's a
8:23 pm
real risk the government will break its promise to end no—fault evictions unless tenants are protected from unfair rent hikes that can be used to force us out of our homes. that can be used to force us out of our homes-— that can be used to force us out of our homes. ~ . ., .., . our homes. what are the concerns? i take our our homes. what are the concerns? i take your point _ our homes. what are the concerns? i take your point about _ our homes. what are the concerns? i take your point about commercial i take your point about commercial landlords who have pushed up rents extortionate leak, but there are also private landlords who say that getting rid of section 21 will make it much harderfor them to getting rid of section 21 will make it much harder for them to evict tenants, and therefore they might not think about renting their properties. are you at all worried that maybe one of the impacts of this is that there is an even more acute shortage of property? we actuall acute shortage of property? - actually need a huge social housing building programme in this country. but look, decades of government policy has been designed to make being a landlord as profitable as possible, and being a landlord will still be a very profitable thing to
8:24 pm
do if that fits with your essence. i think that when landlords say that this will make it less attractive for them, this will make it less attractive forthem, i this will make it less attractive for them, i think what they are really communicating is that the only business model they've got to offer is a business model that's completely broken — where in london, one in ten homes is unsafe, that goes up to one in five and some london burros, where children are growing up in houses covered in black mould in developing asthma, where families are being forced out of neighbourhoods they've lived in for generations by unfair rent increases. and i think the real question we've got to ask them is, do we want a housing system that's about maximising profits for people who choose to be landlords, or do we want a housing system that recognises that all of us deserve a home where we can live and flourish, and live a good life? i home where we can live and flourish, and live a good life?— and live a good life? i take your oint, and live a good life? i take your point. i'm _ and live a good life? i take your point. i'mjust _ and live a good life? i take your point. i'm just a _ and live a good life? i take your point, i'm just a little _ and live a good life? i take your| point, i'm just a little concerned you're lumping all landlords

together because there are people who move abroad or rent out late grandma's house— not all landlords are the same, are they? grandma's house- not all landlords are the same, are they?— grandma's house- not all landlords are the same, are they? know, but we saw a michael — are the same, are they? know, but we saw a michael gove _ are the same, are they? know, but we saw a michael gove say _ are the same, are they? know, but we saw a michael gove say today - are the same, are they? know, but we saw a michael gove say today that i saw a michael gove say today that the majority of landlords played by the majority of landlords played by the rules. but look at the white paper that his government published last year — it said that only 30% of landlords complied with the law and with best practice, and we see routinely, day in and day out, we see abuse, violence, unfair rent prices, people being thrown out of their homes for no reason. i think this a few bad apples doesn't i think what we've got is a system that's been set up by the government that's been set up by the government that incentivises landlords to maximise their profits and a complete lack of regulation in the uk it's one of the least regulate
8:26 pm

8:27 pm
so into tomorrow, a gray and slightly damp start across scotland. and then we'll see our next weather front pushing in from the west. that will introduce cloud and some splashes of rain into northern ireland and western scotland. some of that rain could actually turn quite heavy for a time for england and wales — some spells of sunshine, but from dorset, the midlands, lincolnshire, yorkshire, eastwards we have the chance for the odd sharp shower. but just to the west of that showery zone, parts of the south west midlands and south east wales could well see highs of 20 celsius. and more broadly we're looking at temperatures between 14—18 celsius. so if you do get yourself into some sunshine, that won't feel too bad. now into friday, this frontal system continues to journey southwards and eastwards and if anything is likely to pep up as it gets down into england and wales, so we could see some heavier bursts of rain for a time. certainly the chance for some hefty showers. further north, though, northern england, northern ireland, scotland seeing a slice of sunshine before more cloud rolls its way back in from the north—west. again, though, in the sunniest spots, it will feel relatively warm
8:28 pm
highs of around 18 celsius. into the weekend, split fortunes for england and wales, some sunshine, albeit with an easterly breeze, making it feel chilly for some north sea coasts. northern ireland and scotland closer to this frontal system, bringing more cloud and bringing some outbreaks of rain, particularly in the north and the north—west of scotland, northern ireland too, edinburgh, not doing too badly further south and east. and in manchester some spells of sunshine and highs of 20 celsius. and further south again, a lot of dry weather, some sunny spells and temperatures up to around 20.
8:30 pm
hello, i'm christian fraser. you're watching the context on bbc news. and the world's most famous shipwreck — the titanic — we'll show you the first full—sized 3d scan that's been created. will get to that very shortly but first let's get a check on this board and an important night in the champions league. it is a huge, huge game being played at the moment. manchester city are playing the 14 time champions real madrid for the chance to reach the champions league final. going into the second leg
8:31 pm
the tie was all square at one all. you can see manchester city with the all—important goal of the night coming from bernardo silver, irling harlan has gone close at least three times so far a chorus and magnificent say for the pretty much all city. they are in the driving seat for them as things stand they will play inter milan who await the final and insertable on the 10th of june. 0ne final and insertable on the 10th of june. one half an hour played there, city 1—0 out. —— 1—0 up. this weekend's emilia romagna grand prix at imola has been cancelled because of major flooding in the north of italy. with formula one saying it's the "the right and responsible thing to do. " the severe conditions have led to at least three deaths in the region. and with a river near the circuit teams had been evacuated on tuesday and told not to return on wednesday. after more downpours overnight. it was due to be the sixth race of the season. which will likely now consist of 22 races instead of 23.
8:32 pm
a number of drivers have backed the decision. while the sport's boss stefano domenicali says... golf's second major of the year the us pga championship gets under way on thursday. it's taking place at oak hill country club in rochester, upstate new york. rory mcilroy has won the event twice before and remains one of the favourites despite missing the cut at the masters last month. wasn't really the performance of augusta that's hard to get over it's just more the mental aspect and the deflation of it in sort of trying to get your mind in the right place to start going forward again, i guess. i expect to go out there
8:33 pm
and if i can execute the way that ifeel like i can then i still believe i'm one of the best play in the world. and i can produce good golf to have a chance of winning this week. jon rahm, the man who won this year's masters, is halfway to completing a career grand slam, but says he doesn't want to look too far ahead. ifi if i win this week or the open championship becomes a true reality. but winning two majors is not easy and picking which ones you win is ludicrous to think about. conceited or arrogant, ludicrous to think about. conceited orarrogant, rather ludicrous to think about. conceited or arrogant, rather focus on the number of majors i win then having a ran slam. a very small number of players who do it for that last one b and tiger. —— grand slam. it's obviously not an easy thing to accomplish. it tees off at midday in the uk, seven o'clock in the morning in rochester, where there could be
8:34 pm
a frost for the first players on the course. rory mcilroy is out at 11 minutes past one withjustin thomas and collin morikawa. world number 0nejon rahm is out a little later at 1:33, with cameron smith and england's matt fitzpatrick. you can follow it all on the bbc sport website. brentford striker ivan toney has been banned from football for eight months after he accepted breaking football association betting rules. toney has also been charged £50 thousand and warned about his future conduct for 232 breaches of the fa's betting rules. his suspension starts immediately — he will not be allowed to play again untiljanuary 2024. 5 in a statement, toney said...
8:35 pm
really interesting. i was reading a story today, he grows up a shirt with fun 88 comes to this temperature, plays for branford, sponsored by hollywood bats. to be a lot of people who pointed double standards here. i would do what you make of the significance of this are the implications for the lee? your ri . ht the implications for the lee? your right there's _ the implications for the lee? your right there's a _ the implications for the lee? your right there's a huge _ the implications for the lee? gm;- right there's a huge discussion to be had about for paul's relationship with bedding of course. the bfa it says that anything that challenges the integrity of what he calls the beautiful sport is something that we will step down on. so anyone involved in football, notjust football is not allowed to place any sort of bet, notjust on matches but on the transfer of players or managerial appointments and things like that yet all the reasons you said, betting seems to be such an intrinsic part of the game. as for ivan tony, he's a big reason they've been successful this premier league
8:36 pm
season, days that the highest finish. the club is ninth in the english premier league, they are chasing european football he won his first inkling against ukraine lassos timbre for the pain he can return to training, you won't be allowed to kick the ball competitively on till the middle ofjanuary. that kick the ball competitively on till the middle of january. that is kick the ball competitively on till the middle ofjanuary. that is how seriously the faa says it is taking this. the band relates to a four year period when he played for the scunthorpe, wigan peterborough and branford. but for the reasons it spells out wanting to preserve the beautiful game, yes bfa will say it is taking strong action but there will always be that continue discussion around how prevalent bedding still remains in and around the structures of football, the name amid stadiums for example and in terms of being placed on player shirts. i terms of being placed on player shirts. . ,., terms of being placed on player shirts. . ., , shirts. i imagine so for the big blow for him _ shirts. i imagine so for the big blow for him because - shirts. i imagine so for the big blow for him because he's i shirts. i imagine so for the big blow for him because he's a i shirts. i imagine so for the big i blow for him because he's a great player and now on the verge of the ingrid set up. thank you very much. there's been a major gathering
8:37 pm
of european leaders in iceland, at which the war in ukraine was the major topic for discussion. the council of europe, not to be confused with the eu's european council, is a body that was set up in the wake of wwii, to uphold democracy and the rule of law. it rarely meets, but since it has 46 member states, it has some political clout. the meeting sought to address a number of issues beyond the supply of weapons. among them the plight of thousands of children, which ukraine says were forcibly deported to russia. they have also set up a register of damages, to maintain a record of the infinite costs that russia's war is inflicting upon ukraine. 0ur diplomatic correspondent james landale was following the meeting from kyiv. clearly, momentum has been building in support of the idea of western countries giving ukraine more planes. something that ukraine has been asking for since the beginning of the war last year. up until this point, there has been a huge reluctance by western powers to do this
8:38 pm
for a variety of reasons. one is that overwhelmingly they said that giving ukraine aircraft would be seen as an aggressive move by moscow and moscow would escalate accordingly. and consider that the west was a direct participant in the war. but at the moment, there are signals that western countries are thinking this is the right option now. you have yesterday, the british and the dutch saying we will support what the prime minister is called a international coalition to support the idea of f—16 aircraft are being given to ukraine. these are the aircraft that have been around a long time, they are fighterjets that can be used in the sky and attacking things in the ground. crucially lots of them, but nobody is going to move until they get the provision of the americans.
8:39 pm
the moment the americans are saying no. when the european leaders are talking of an international coalition, they are talking about getting as much european support and saying to the americans that we might have to move on this. at the moment the americans are still saying no. 0ne one line of loose debris from ukraine given the important fleet like importance of the air defence of kyiv for that you might�*ve read a story that the russians claim to have blown up a high—tech patriot defence system that the americans had supplied for that well, the american defence teams are saying today that it is still operational. there is damage to it that was caused by a projectile near it and that damage is still being assessed but the defence system itself is still in operation for the crucially important to the city. one of the world's biggest car—makers — stellantis — has called on the government to renegotiate part of the brexit deal or risk losing parts of its car industry. stellantis says it can no longer meet brexit trade rules
8:40 pm
on where parts are sourced. it is the first time a car firm has openly called on the government to renegotiate the terms of the deal. courtney bembridge has more from the newsroom. the deal on electric cars and batteries is one of the last things to be ironed out during the brexit negotiations back in 2020 between borisjohnson and ursula von der leyen. well now there's a plea to reopen negotiations and it's come from one of the world's largest carmakers. stellantis owns brands like fiat, citroen, peugeot and vauxhall. now, it had promised to make electric vehicles in the uk, but now says that plan is under threat because of brexit trade rules on where parts are sourced. let's have a look in a bit more detail. so at the start of next year, new rules are due to come into effect, which dictate that 45% of the value of an electric car must be sourced from the uk or the eu. otherwise it faces tariffs or taxes.
8:41 pm
and that's not all. eventually, that number is due to go up to 65%. well, stellantis says all of this is not possible because of the soaring cost of raw materials due to the pandemic and also the energy crisis. it's asked the government to push back the deadline until 2027 and keep the same rules in place until then. it says if that doesn't happen, then eu and uk trade will be subject to 10% tariffs and that will make it uncompetitive compared to other markets like japan and south korea. well, part of this story is about the availability of batteries in the uk and the eu and the capacity to make them in those two jurisdictions. let's hear more about that. the battery industry hasn't been able to keep pace with the level of demand for batteries. so there is the real threat of the application of tariffs from the ist ofjanuary next year. nobody wants this, government
8:42 pm
in the uk, governments in europe don't want the application of tariffs. so the very vehicles that they're trying to encourage the sale of. the chancellor, jeremy hunt, was also asked about electric vehicle batteries today. here's what he said. the reality is there l is a supply shortage. everyone is trying to develop supply of ev batteries and so we need i to have that supply here in the uk. the closer it's located - to the factories that are making the rest of the car, the better. iand all i would say is watch thisl space because we're very focused on making sure the uk gets that ev manufacturing capacity. i a spokesman for the uk government says it is in talks with the eu about this issue, but he wouldn't be drawn on whether the deadline would be extended. for more i'm joined by professor peter wells, director of the centre for automotive industry research at cardiff university, he joins us from penarth in south wales. thank you for being with us. this
8:43 pm
45% rule seems arbitrary and it doesn't say from a court, either the uk of the eu can guarantee that as it gets all quickly? it’s uk of the eu can guarantee that as it gets all quickly?— it gets all quickly? it's an arbitrary _ it gets all quickly? it's an arbitrary number- it gets all quickly? it's an arbitrary number of i it gets all quickly? it's an | arbitrary number of cores. it gets all quickly? it's an i arbitrary number of cores. i it gets all quickly? it's an - arbitrary number of cores. i think the situation here as you explained, the battery capacity industry is not available yet. ever since we left the european union it put the uk's own industry in a vulnerable position. and having to go back to the table to renegotiate because external circumstances have changed is simply symptomatic of not being in side the european union anymore. we've given ourselves the structural problem. and made it worse by being outside of the european union. brute outside of the european union. we didn't have the flexibility to resist shocks that might come from the global economy? yes. resist shocks that might come from the global economy?— resist shocks that might come from the global economy? yes. these are almost inevitable. _ the global economy? yes. these are almost inevitable. there _ the global economy? yes. these are almost inevitable. there is _ the global economy? yes. these are almost inevitable. there is a - almost inevitable. there is a huge race to develop greater levels of
8:44 pm
opacity to supply the industry but if you work your way back through the entire supply chain you will find that in a case of developing new resources to mind copper oat cobalt or lithium can take five or ten years to put in place. lead times required to build new battery manufacturing facilities seems to be the uk is well behind the race to develop the capability compared with almost anybody else across europe. that's gotta be a concern, we lack that clarity with industrial strategy. we've seen a number of fairly high profile mistakes and failures. to be frank about the government has not yet managed to put anything really down on the table to make the rest of the industry believes that there is a future in electric vehicle production in the uk. future in electric vehicle roduction in the uk. ., ., , production in the uk. how does uk cart manufacturing _ production in the uk. how does uk cart manufacturing fit _ production in the uk. how does uk cart manufacturing fit within i cart manufacturing fit within europe? does european union have an incentive or an interest in helping the uk out of this mess? goad

the uk out of this mess? good question- _ the uk out of this mess? good question. there _ the uk out of this mess? good question. there are _ the uk out of this mess? good question. there are some i the uk out of this mess? good i question. there are some shared interests. major european manufacturers see the uk is a very important market in the first place. and of course have production facilities here. companies like bmw, stellantis and so on. there is a sense of shared destiny. it is not going to be strong enough given the bigger situation is not given the relative situation and at the uk market in manufacturing against the rest of europe i think of in the end is it quite easy to bed. i think the rest of the uk is that in a group like stellantis, there will be many opportunities to put manufacturing capabilities and a whole range of different locations depending on how theyjudge the market, judge the production. theyjudge the market, 'udge the roduction. . �* . theyjudge the market, 'udge the roduction. . �* , , , production. that's interesting. they also want arrangements _ production. that's interesting. they also want arrangements for - also want arrangements for manufacturing parts in serbia and morocco to be reviewed. what manufacturing parts in serbia and morocco to be reviewed.- manufacturing parts in serbia and morocco to be reviewed. what is that about? quite —

8:47 pm
when we get the diagnosis i was very worried about poppy's general quality of life. and all the things we've done so far, i thought would never be able to do that stuff again. faced with an uncertain future eve founded the underdogs training, specialising in training blind dogs. she's now helping other visually impaired canines and their owners globally. it could be that your dog lost site and we need to work on competence through different textures and sound. how do we go about giving them a nice safe approach to training without them bombarding into the coffee table? i really want to just help to show people that actually just because a dog is lost it site they can still have an absolutely incredible life. you're live with bbc news. it is without doubt the most famous shipwreck of all time, and it has been the focus of countless documentaries and hollywood movies but there's
8:48 pm
a version of the titanic you will not have seen. until now. used special technology, a team of researchers, have mapped the entire wreck to create the titanic�*s "digital twin" and our science editor, rebecca morelle, has had exclusive access to the project. nearly 4,000 metres down, in the murky depths of the atlantic — the titanic. but cameras can only ever show us tantalising snapshots, never the whole ship. now, a new scan has revealed the wreck as it's never been seen before. there are many places big enough of the wreck of the titanic. this is one of them. a stadium with the london olympics were held. a full—size scan of the wreck has been captured and to appreciate its scale we superimposed it in the stadium. the titanic was simply colossal.
8:49 pm
this sd the titanic was simply colossal. this 3d scan reveals the wreck in its entirety. for the first time, we have an exact digital copy of the real thing. and what you see here is what's lying on the floor of the north atlantic ocean. not only can we get an idea of the ship's enormous size, this scan also gives us a close—up view of its smallest details. you can explore their wreck from every angle. the gaping hole provides a glimpse inside with the grand staircase once stood. and this is what's left of the captains bridge. covered in fragile stalactites of rust. remarkable details are emerging too, like this serial number on a propeller. the resolution is phenomenal. i'v e i've not seen anything of that
8:50 pm
resolution. i've not seen anything of that resolution. this will allow scientists, historians to reunderstand how the titanic came to be where it is. and it's also a snapshot in time. the titanic was scanned using submersibles. they travelled the length and breath of the wreck back and forth. they took 700,000 images from every angle to build up an exact 3d reconstruction. the wreck is in two parts. the bow is still instantly recognisable, more than 100 years after it sank. 800 metres away, the stern, though, is a chaotic mess of metal. it collapsed as it corkscrewed into the sea floor. and the surrounding debris items are scattered for the ornate metal work, unopened champagne bottles and personal possessions to. dozens of shoes resting on the sediment. despite how extensively the titanic
8:51 pm
has been explored there are still many fundamental questions. the hope is this scan could provide answers. we really don't understand the character of the collision with the iceberg. we don't even know if she hit it along the starboard side, as shown in all the movies. she might have grounded on the iceberg. and this photogrammetry model is one of the first major steps to driving the titanic story toward evidence—based research and not speculation. the sea is eating away at the wreck and time is running out to find out what happened on that night in 1912 when more than 1,000 lives were lost. time is running out to find out what happened on that night in 1912 for more than a thousand lives were lost. more than a thousand lives were lost. but the scan now freezes the wreck in time. the hope is titanic may yet give up its secrets. rebecca morelle, bbc news. incredible. an expert on the sinking
8:52 pm
of the titanic is with us. good to see you. what's most surprised you about the detail you've in the scan? what's amazing is for the first time we can now see the bow in relation to the stern for the people that want has had murky submersible journeys where you could hardly see your hand in front of your face and your hand in front of your face and you had to stitch individual photographs together to get a picture. now we have a full scan showing how far away the stories from the bow and showing the topography the seabed. this from the bow and showing the topography the seabed. as we're heafina topography the seabed. as we're hearin: in topography the seabed. as we're hearing in that _ topography the seabed. as we're hearing in that video, _ topography the seabed. as we're hearing in that video, the - topography the seabed. as we're i hearing in that video, the character of the collision, we've always presume there was a glancing blow with the iceberg on starboard side which gashed the whole. {guild with the iceberg on starboard side which gashed the whole.— which gashed the whole. could be somethin: which gashed the whole. could be something different _ which gashed the whole. could be something different could - which gashed the whole. could be something different could make i which gashed the whole. could be something different could make it which gashed the whole. could be i something different could make it go down. we do know from survivor accounts and indeed from the look out accounts that the iceberg was on the star board or right hand side of the bow. however, as this is known from geography lessons there's often
8:53 pm
a lot of ice underneath the water which is been eroded by the north atlantic swell. it's quite possible andindeed atlantic swell. it's quite possible and indeed the helmsman at the time said is it what has the iceberg he felt the ice rumbling along the bottom of the ship for that we know that water came up from the bulkhead in from the front it could well be that the most damage actually to the flat bottom towel all titanic. iantigen flat bottom towel all titanic. when ou flat bottom towel all titanic. when you research _ flat bottom towel all titanic. when you research it, _ flat bottom towel all titanic. when you research it, presumably i you research it, presumably you spent a lot of time looking at the bowel because that is instantly recognisable and there's lots of it there. as rebecca said, this huge mess of steel that is some way away, the stern, what do you see in the image is here?— the stern, what do you see in the image is here? that's particularly fascinatin: image is here? that's particularly fascinating because _ image is here? that's particularly fascinating because the _ image is here? that's particularly fascinating because the bow- image is here? that's particularly fascinating because the bow sankj fascinating because the bow sank rather slowly and did equalising in the sense that the water came in slowly and the passengers, the survivors, the passengers went to the stern. the bow of the story broke away and that you can see from the two pieces on the seabed. and
8:54 pm
rather tragically it left about 1000 people on the stern of titanic who were unfortunately not going to survive. as that sank it had watertight pockets in it and these imploded as the ship headed down towards the seabed. that's why you see what almost looks like an explosion that ripped the stern apart under the sea.— explosion that ripped the stern apart under the sea. does this type of technology _ apart under the sea. does this type of technology excite _ apart under the sea. does this type of technology excite you _ apart under the sea. does this type of technology excite you in - apart under the sea. does this type of technology excite you in terms i apart under the sea. does this type | of technology excite you in terms of what else could be mapped? 0ne of technology excite you in terms of what else could be mapped? one of the racks would you like to see in such extraordinary detail?- such extraordinary detail? gosh, this technology _ such extraordinary detail? gosh, this technology is _ such extraordinary detail? gosh, this technology is almost - such extraordinary detail? gosh, this technology is almost like i such extraordinary detail? gosh, i this technology is almost like drain the ocean. you can imagine what that would be like for that whaen would see racks from all different periods of history and it would be absolutely amazing. even the shot show us the serial numbers 40101 of the propellers and that is important because the twin sister was number for hundred and this proves it is indeed the wreck of the titanic. in some conspiracy theorist at a not

the last couple of nights, certainly in most places. so into tomorrow, a gray and slightly damp start across scotland. and then we'll see our next weather front pushing in from the west. that will introduce cloud and some splashes of rain into northern ireland and western scotland. some of that rain could actually turn quite heavy for a time for england and wales — some spells of sunshine, but from dorset, the midlands, lincolnshire, yorkshire, eastwards we have the chance for the odd sharp shower. but just to the west of that showery zone, parts of the south west midlands and south east wales could well see highs of 20 celsius. and more broadly we're looking at temperatures between 14—18 celsius. so if you do get yourself into some sunshine, that won't feel too bad. now into friday, this frontal system continues to journey southwards and eastwards and if anything is likely to pep up as it gets down into england and wales, so we could see some heavier bursts of rain for a time. certainly the chance for some hefty showers. further north, though, northern england, northern ireland, scotland seeing a slice of sunshine before more cloud rolls its way back in from the north—west. again, though, in the sunniest
8:58 pm
spots, it will feel relatively warm highs of around 18 celsius. into the weekend, split fortunes for england and wales, some sunshine, albeit with an easterly breeze, making it feel chilly for some north sea coasts. northern ireland and scotland closer to this frontal system, bringing more cloud and bringing some outbreaks of rain, particularly in the north and the north—west of scotland, northern ireland too, edinburgh, not doing too badly further south and east. and in manchester some spells of sunshine and highs of 20 celsius. and further south again, a lot of dry weather, some sunny spells and temperatures up to around 20.
9:00 pm
hello, i'm christian fraser. you're watching the context on bbc news. a 98% chance, according to the un's weather experts, that one year in the next five will be the hottest ever recorded. in the coming five years, the estimation is that the arctic temuratures will be three times the global averages. we're heading into unprecedented i territory, to temperatures we simply haven't experienced before, and the impacts will be i equally unprecedented. welcome back. another warning from the un that the global temperature rise is accelerating beyond levels
9:01 pm
that are sustainable. we will discuss that tonight with our panel. the author and political scientist ian bremmer. also with us the mail on sunday columnist and deputy political editor, anna mikhailova. i wonder what they will make of a new cia video released on telegram, to recruit agents in russia. we will talk about the ongoing us debt crisis, which will cut short joe biden's trip to the indo—pacific region this week. and the crisis in health care — not enough hospitals not enough recruitment on both sides of the atlantic. but first, the news today. 50,000 people in northern italy have no power, thousands have been evacuated in widespread flooding in an extreme weather event, that replaces last year's unprecented drought. in the united states, drought is also a chronic problem across the southwest. the colorado river, on which 40 million people
9:02 pm
depend, is drying up. today, they were approaching a deal on how to share it and how to conserve just enough water to power their hydroelectric dams. the warning signs are everywhere, and it is getting worse. in geneva, the world meteorological organization said the chances of the global temperature rise exceeding 1.5 celsius above the preindustrial average, within the next five years, has jumped to 66%. on top, there is a 98% chance the warmest year on record will come before 2027. and the rate of warming will be three times worse in the arctic. ian, look, they've been wrestling nearly a year, these southwest states, including california, arizona and nevada, antedated they've coalesced around a plan to voluntarily conserve 13% of their river water in exchange for $1 billion in federalfunding, which i guess is an achievement but it's a
9:03 pm
stopgap and not a solution. maybe start with the _ stopgap and not a solution. maybe start with the good _ stopgap and not a solution. maybe start with the good news, - stopgap and not a solution. maybe start with the good news, which i stopgap and not a solution. maybe start with the good news, which is| start with the good news, which is that we now have 195 countries on the planet that all agree that climate change is real, it's caused by humans, and that we've had about 1.2 celsius of warming on average on the planet so far. so the fact that we all recognise that the problem exists is a critical start, given how much misinformation there is in the world today, how much fake news there is, and we are seeing action. but if you want me to point to the action being late and uncoordinated, that india has a 2070 net zero carbon plan and no plan to actually get there, it'll get a lot worse before it gets better, and we are going to say unprecedented a lot for ourselves and our kids. we going to say unprecedented a lot for ourselves and our kids.— ourselves and our kids. we were talkin: ourselves and our kids. we were
9:04 pm
talking last _ ourselves and our kids. we were talking last week _ ourselves and our kids. we were talking last week about - ourselves and our kids. we were talking last week about the i talking last week about the emissions of methane from the oil and gas fields in turkmenistan, just to fields — they were contributing more admissions, more global heating in 2022 and the entire carbon emissions of the uk. when you read a story like that, it makes you think, what's the point? if people are changing in the uk but turkmenistan doesn't want to cap emissions from oil and gas fields, there's hopelessness to it? there there's not hopelessness _ hopelessness to it? there there's not hopelessness to _ hopelessness to it? there there's not hopelessness to it. _ hopelessness to it? there there's not hopelessness to it. ten i hopelessness to it? there there's not hopelessness to it. ten years| not hopelessness to it. ten years ago you had serious climate scientists who believed that you might have a 4—6 centigrade outcome before the world was able to stop pumping carbon and methane into the atmosphere. no one thinks any more, now it's more around 2—3, and that's because the europeans are taking the
9:05 pm
lead in the world to actually transition away from fossil fuels — first to bridge technologies like natural gas, then into sustainable technologies, some doing more nuclear, some doing solar, wind and geothermal. and you are seeing those transitions happen around the world, but the fact that this will be painful, that it's but the fact that this will be painful, that its low in we've ignored it for 50 years of globalisation doesn't give us hopelessness, it tells us that it'll be really hard and that things will get more challenging, that's certainly true. by the way, a lot worse for all the other species and it will be for us having this conversation on the bbc today. that's really an important perspective that ian gives us, that there is hope and we should focus on some of that. what about our domestic policy? we got a plan today from the opposition leader keir starmer who would give a green light to building onshore wind turbines, which has been a controversial issue here because, of all the planning
9:06 pm
laws and the controversy around it. i wonder if what we get from the un in these reports, don't governments have to be bold or? isn't there a strategic imperative to build these things if we are having energy insecurity and we are going fast enough? insecurity and we are going fast enou~h? . . insecurity and we are going fast enou~h? , ., ., ., insecurity and we are going fast enou~h? , . ., ., , , enough? yes, and all of this must be seen within — enough? yes, and all of this must be seen within the _ enough? yes, and all of this must be seen within the context _ enough? yes, and all of this must be seen within the context of _ enough? yes, and all of this must be seen within the context of the - enough? yes, and all of this must be seen within the context of the war. seen within the context of the war in ukraine — seen within the context of the war in ukraine and all the huge verifications since then. keir starmer— verifications since then. keir starmer said that, but the more significant — starmer said that, but the more significant move has been the fact that the _ significant move has been the fact that the government has very consciously and purposely moved back towards _ consciously and purposely moved back towards more fossil fuel policy in the short— towards more fossil fuel policy in the short term to build energy security— the short term to build energy security in the contest of russia's war, _ security in the contest of russia's war. to _ security in the contest of russia's war, to chinese dependents, off russiam — war, to chinese dependents, off russia... all this is complicated because — russia... all this is complicated because all these great agreements aside, _ because all these great agreements aside, and — because all these great agreements aside, and obviously paris was the really— aside, and obviously paris was the really significant climate change
9:07 pm
that — really significant climate change that was a huge milestone, and the fact— that was a huge milestone, and the fact that — that was a huge milestone, and the fact that we are looking at it being _ the fact that we are looking at it being broken is doubly depressing, i think. _ being broken is doubly depressing, i think, because you'll never get at this point— think, because you'll never get at this point in time that level of cooperation that you saw in 2015, it'sjust _ cooperation that you saw in 2015, it'sjust not — cooperation that you saw in 2015, it'sjust not possible because in order— it'sjust not possible because in order to — it'sjust not possible because in order to do that you need to get countries — order to do that you need to get countries like china, india, russia in turkmenistan, which is friendly with russia, around the table. and at the _ with russia, around the table. and at the moment, that's about as far away— at the moment, that's about as far away as— at the moment, that's about as far away as ever in recent history. ian, ou away as ever in recent history. ian, you wanted — away as ever in recent history. ian, you wanted to _ away as ever in recent history. ian, you wanted to say? _ away as ever in recent history. ian, you wanted to say? i _ away as ever in recent history. ian, you wanted to say? i want - away as ever in recent history. ian, you wanted to say? i want to i away as ever in recent history. ian, you wanted to say? i want to say i you wanted to say? i want to say that china — you wanted to say? i want to say that china is — you wanted to say? i want to say that china is an _ you wanted to say? i want to say that china is an interesting i you wanted to say? i want to say that china is an interesting one | that china is an interesting one here because they are leading the world in investing in nuclear energy, they are leading the world investing in solar cells, they are leading the world investing in electric vehicles and the batteries, and the critical minerals in the supply chain. now they are not coordinating much with the us and europe, it's hard to even talk to
9:08 pm
them sometimes setting up meetings, but the fact is when the americans, even climate sceptics in the us, and there is still quite a few, look at china and see that they are on a path to dominate the post—carbon energy future, that makes americans say, "wait a second, we can't let the chinese dominate the future, we need to invest and dominate the post—carbon future, we need to subsidise so much even the europeans will be angry that the americans are subsidising too much!" so there is a level of competition as it becomes obvious for the long—term. i’m obvious for the long-term. i'm feelin: a obvious for the long-term. i'm feeling a little _ obvious for the long—term. i'm feeling a little more energised after that, feeling a little more energised afterthat, ian, feeling a little more energised after that, ian, thanks for that, feeling a little more energised afterthat, ian, thanks forthat, i was feeling down in the dumps because many of our 8pm reports were saying it was dire. but you've given me hope. prince harry says he and his wife were involved in a "near catastrophic" car chase on tuesday evening after an awards
9:09 pm
cereremony in new york. a spokesperson for the duke and duchess of sussex seen here leaving the event last night says the couple were "relentlessly pursued" by paparazzi photographers, which resulted in multiple near collisions involving other drivers. the six vehicles that were pursuing went through red lights, were seen driving on the pavement, carrying out blocking manoevres, reversing down a one—way way street, even taking photographs while driving. significant, of course, because prince harry's mother, princess diana, was killed in a car crash in paris in 1997 while being chased by photographers. i wonder what you make of this, because you work for a sunday newspaper, and the sunday newspapers in the proper nazis who work for them are the reason harry left the country three years ago. what do you make of what's occurred here in new york? it's not usual, is it, for celebrities in the us to be chased by paparazzi? i celebrities in the us to be chased by paparazzi?— celebrities in the us to be chased by paparazzi? i believe he left the country because _ by paparazzi? i believe he left the country because the _ by paparazzi? i believe he left the country because the royal- by paparazzi? i believe he left the country because the royal family i country because the royal family wouldn't — country because the royal family wouldn't give him the terms he

reference to the taxi driver— they jump out of the suv and into a taxi, and this taxi driver said, "i don't think i would call a change, i never felt i was in danger, it wasn't a car chase like you would see in the movies. they were quiet and seemed quite scared, but this is new york, it's safe." is it possible to have a car chase for two hours in manhattan?— car chase for two hours in manhattan? �* , ., ., , manhattan? it's not remotely conceivable. _ manhattan? it's not remotely conceivable. anyone - manhattan? it's not remotely conceivable. anyone that i manhattan? it's not remotely| conceivable. anyone that seen traffic in manhattan, the city is fully backed post—pandemic. i take the subway frequently during day hours because otherwise you can't get to where you need to go in time. so this was massively exaggerated, i don't know if it was by harry and meghan themselves or by the press. i haven't followed it very closely. we have enough drama in the united states and washington without needing to import any. i know we have a special relationship, but if you like them back, i'm sure we
9:12 pm
would facilitate that. i you like them back, i'm sure we would facilitate that.— would facilitate that. i 'ust wondered if i would facilitate that. i 'ust wondered if it i would facilitate that. i 'ust wondered if it was i would facilitate that. i 'ust wondered if it was a h would facilitate that. i just wondered if it was a new i would facilitate that. i just - wondered if it was a new york would facilitate that. ijust wondered if it was a new york thing. i was asking someone earlier in the programme — there is a celebrity culture in california where they are, people don't take much interest in celebrity is because there are so many, and the fact that they turn up in new york, which is in their home, is that why there must�*ve been so much interest in them? if is that why there must've been so much interest in them?— is that why there must've been so much interest in them? if there was interest, much interest in them? if there was interest. it's — much interest in them? if there was interest, it's from _ much interest in them? if there was interest, it's from professional- interest, it's from professional paparazzi who are being paid to make their lives horrible. and sure, that's not because of new york, that's not because of new york, that's because of who they are globally and in the uk. but the thing about new york is that it's a walking city, so you bump into billionaires and stars, and whatnot just on the street, and you get on your way. the biggest concern that i have on the streets of new york is that you will get killed by a bicyclist, and they go the wrong way on streets. i've had catastrophic

9:14 pm
meet brexit trade rules on where parts are sourced. it is the first time a car firm has openly called on the government to renegotiate the terms of the deal. a hearing into the metropolitan police's treatment of protesters on coronation day was briefly interrupted byjust stop oil activists this morning. the home affairs committee's hearing was paused about 25 minutes into proceedings. ajust stop oil spokesperson said removing the protesters from the committee room was "a continuation of the silencing of legitimate dissent we saw at the coronation". the chancellorjeremy hunt has said the "default" location for workers should be in the office unless there is a good reason to work from home. the latest statistics show that around one fifth of people work from the office and remotely, while less than 8% of workers were based at home permanently. you're live with bbc news. the cia has just released a recruitment video in russian. officials at langley think the war in ukraine has created an unprecedented opportuntity to recruit new assets — one they are looking to explore.
9:15 pm
the video, which was posted on telegram — the social media app most used by russians — makes no mention of putin by name. instead, it is asks a series of philosophical questions which the agency hopes will resonate with those secretely opposed to the war. translation: is this| the life i dreamed of? the path that i chose for myself? why are the lives of some people valued more than others? and who decides this? being a hero means to stand firm — but to stand firm doesn't mean to endure in vain. the best way to prevent a prisoner from escaping is to make sure they never realise they're in a prison. in the past year of the war,
9:16 pm
the cia has been encouraging people to inform, on the dark web. and in this new video, they provide details of how to get in touch, using tor. "you are not powerless," it says, "contact us in a secure way." and the cia suggest they have already had some success — without going into much detail, the agency says there are people coming forward, from a variety of different fields. let's bring in ryan hillsberg, a former cia intelligence officer, and a director of corporate security at a global biotech company. he is the co—author of the book license to parent: how my career as a spy helped me raise resourceful, self—sufficient kids. clearly i need to read that one. welcome to the programme. does this kind of thing work? it welcome to the programme. does this kind of thing work?— kind of thing work? it does, i don't think there's _ kind of thing work? it does, i don't think there's been _ kind of thing work? it does, i don't think there's been a _ kind of thing work? it does, i don't think there's been a better- think there's been a better recruiting environment inside russia since the cold war for the cia than right now. there are government
9:17 pm
officials that are disgruntled due to the economy and the sanctions from a private sector perspective, it is stressed, so i really like the proactive take that the agency is going after getting new assets. and as you've looked over the past several years, there's been an uptick in social media posts by the agency — i think this is strategic, they are really looking at that next generation of potential foreign assets, and they are trying to get close to them and make this world of espionage more palatable, and they're trying to make it come closer to them to really go after different types of targets. but who is it that they _ different types of targets. but who is it that they are _ different types of targets. but who is it that they are targeting? - different types of targets. but who is it that they are targeting? they | is it that they are targeting? they want to target _ is it that they are targeting? they want to target anyone _ is it that they are targeting? tue: want to target anyone with is it that they are targeting? tte want to target anyone with access is it that they are targeting? tte1 want to target anyone with access to confidential or classified information of interest to us policymakers. so it can be people in the government, in the military, in the government, in the military, in the private sector. historically often times we get fallen times ——
9:18 pm
we get volunteers, or walk—ins, it's been to the us embassy or us consulate. so what they're doing here is creating a virtual walk or volunteer programme where if people can't get access to those sites, or an embassy or consulate as far away from them, this is a secure, easy means to get in contact, otherwise they wouldn't have been able to access these individuals. what's interesting _ access these individuals. what's interesting is _ access these individuals. what's interesting is that _ access these individuals. what's interesting is that the _ access these individuals. what's interesting is that the audio - access these individuals. what's interesting is that the audio in l access these individuals. what's l interesting is that the audio in the video seems to steer the individual away from collective action, this is differently not designed to ferment any sort of protest within russia, it is very much about individuals acting alone, isn't it? it it is very much about individuals acting alone, isn't it?— acting alone, isn't it? it is, and that's really— acting alone, isn't it? it is, and that's really the _ acting alone, isn't it? it is, and that's really the best _ acting alone, isn't it? it is, and that's really the best type - acting alone, isn't it? it is, and that's really the best type of i that's really the best type of sources and asset that we have. there are people who already have natural access to information that

are already in place, so if we can get access to those individuals and the things that come across their desk naturally on a day by day basis — we don't want to draw attention to them, we want them to be safe and secure, and we want to be able to have a long—term relationship as much as possible with these assets so they can continue providing information into the future. tan. information into the future. ian, i'm really _ information into the future. ian, i'm really fascinated _ information into the future. ian, i'm really fascinated by this, the psychology of this. can we talk about the themes within the video? empowerment, freedom — they aren't words readily encouraged on russian mainstream television. the? mainstream television. they certainly aren't. _ mainstream television. they certainly aren't. the - mainstream television. they certainly aren't. the whole l mainstream television. they . certainly aren't. the whole time von've _ certainly aren't. the whole time you've been talking about this, i've been _ you've been talking about this, i've been thinking back to the soviet period. — been thinking back to the soviet period, how the russians used to say. _ period, how the russians used to say, "we — period, how the russians used to say, "we pretend to work, they pretend — say, "we pretend to work, they pretend to _ say, "we pretend to work, they pretend to pay us." if you look at russian — pretend to pay us." if you look at russian state propaganda, of course you would _

people through the dark web— we know that russians are very sophisticated, would you feel confident with russia getting in contact with the cia this way? t contact with the cia this way? i would, the agency would not contact with the cia this way? t would, the agency would not be advertising this mode of communication unless it was tied up. and what i really like about the video and what other people are talking about is that very subtly, it describes virtually how a relationship goes between an operations officer and an asset. we are talking about their motivations, their ideology, and when you're in a real recruitment operation, those are the conversations and themes that you're having with the asset across the table. and when i love about this advertising campaign that they are doing is that it's notjust for russians, this isn't lost on me. there are north koreans, iranians, potential terrorists who have had a change of heart. they are actually

the population, because what we are trying to do is complete a whole picture. we want a full three sixty circle of what's going on inside russia. so people that are potentially thinking about volunteering, what i would tell them is, "you could potentially be that missing link to really pull things together and make a difference." so they are looking at the entire country from a military perspective, from a civilian perspective, from a government perspective, and any potential information could be that missing link. potential information could be that missing link-— missing link. fascinating story, r an, missing link. fascinating story, ryan. thank— missing link. fascinating story, ryan. thank you _ missing link. fascinating story, ryan, thank you very _ missing link. fascinating story, ryan, thank you very much i missing link. fascinating story, ryan, thank you very much for| missing link. fascinating story, i ryan, thank you very much for coming on to talk to us. when we come back from a short break, we'll talk about health on both sides of the atlantic, problems building hospitals here in recruiting nurses here and in the us, chronic shortages in health care in america, and also the debt crisis because that has such fundamental issues for the global economy. so we will take a short break and be right back. stay with us.
9:26 pm
hello. for some of us, today has been a sunny day. for others, not so much. let me show you what it looked like injersey. a bit of cloud in the sky, some high cloud and a little bit of lower fairweather cloud. but broadly speaking, blue skies and some sunshine. further north in the highlands, the cloud was thickening and some rain was working its way and this is the satellite picture from earlier on. you can see this area of cloud working its way, particularly into parts of scotland. and then behind me there is more cloud waiting in the wings in the atlantic. so through tonight, across scotland's extensive cloud cover, some bits and pieces of rain and drizzle, particularly up towards the north—west. elsewhere, northern ireland, england and wales seeing a mix of patchy cloud, some clear spells, perhaps the odd mist or fog patch. and it's going to be a little bit milder than it has been over
9:27 pm
the last couple of nights, certainly in most places. so into tomorrow, a gray and slightly damp start across scotland. and then we'll see our next weather front pushing in from the west. that will introduce cloud and some splashes of rain into northern ireland and western scotland. some of that rain could actually turn quite heavy for a time for england and wales — some spells of sunshine, but from dorset, the midlands, lincolnshire, yorkshire, eastwards we have the chance for the odd sharp shower. but just to the west of that showery zone, parts of the south west midlands and south east wales could well see highs of 20 celsius. and more broadly we're looking at temperatures between 14—18 celsius. so if you do get yourself into some sunshine, that won't feel too bad. now into friday, this frontal system continues to journey southwards and eastwards and if anything is likely to pep up as it gets down into england and wales, so we could see some heavier bursts of rain for a time. certainly the chance for some hefty showers. further north, though, northern england, northern ireland, scotland seeing a slice of sunshine before more cloud rolls its way back in from the north—west. again, though, in the sunniest
9:28 pm
spots, it will feel relatively warm highs of around 18 celsius. into the weekend, split fortunes for england and wales, some sunshine, albeit with an easterly breeze, making it feel chilly for some north sea coasts. northern ireland and scotland closer to this frontal system, bringing more cloud and bringing some outbreaks of rain, particularly in the north and the north—west of scotland, northern ireland too, edinburgh, not doing too badly further south and east. and in manchester some spells of sunshine and highs of 20 celsius. and further south again, a lot of dry weather, some sunny spells and temperatures up to around 20.
9:30 pm
hello, i'm christian fraser. you're watching the context on bbc news. the bbc discovers building work on 33 of the uk government's a0 promised new hospitals is yet to start. when the g7 meets injapan tomorrow there will be questions forjoe biden from the other leaders about the looming debt crisis is left behind in the united states. the us treasury secretary janet yellen said the us could run out of money in the first week ofjune. the g7 finance ministers met at the weekends, british ministerjerry may had
9:31 pm
warned the us default would be devastating for the global economy. in washington the two sides have reduced the size of the negotiating table, sidelining congressional leaders in favour of the chosen representatives who for the next few days at least will slug it out on their behalf. joe biden is competent he can find a way through it but he has cut in half what was scheduled as an eight day indo—pacific sure it will return to washington by sunday. said again today he is competent to deal could be done for the value is confident? t’m deal could be done for the value is confident? �* , , . ., confident? i'm less confident. i think adil _ confident? i'm less confident. i think adilwill_ confident? i'm less confident. i think adil will eventually i confident? i'm less confident. i think adil will eventually get i confident? i'm less confident. i. think adil will eventually get done in the sense that i don't think the american is going to default. the markets don't think that g7, the central bank governors from europe don't think that either. it is very different to have a deal that mccarthy and biden can say yes to put up that's not the same as one that mccarthy can get his caucus, is very narrow and divided republican caucus in the house to vote in favour of. that's what he needs. i
9:32 pm
think what can happen is they'll be at least ten days between an initial agreement and going back and forth with the house and have it vote and fail and vote and fail and vote and fail. that is going to get you closer to the so—called ex—state, and other words when the americans run out of money if the debt limit is not expanded. then you're going to see markets take a tumble. you could have a one—month extension to provide more time to negotiate, you could have janet yellen say, actually i was very conservative, it's reallyjune 15. that gives them more time. you could have prioritisation where you blow through the x state and the americans don't default on sovereign debt but instead they stop paying some of the other bills that they have to pay it like salaries of the armed forces for a few weeks or

9:39 pm
solution for nurses. do you recognise those figures we just set out? i think the situation is much more dire. wejust had a report that showed 100,000 bedside nurses left the profession between 10000 and most recent reports coming out of mckenzie that the united states deficit of nearly 550,000 bedside nurses in the united states, absolutely astounding when you actually met there for me million nurses in the united states with what we have the largest professional of health scares our nurses. the largest profession in the united states is nurses. but the reality is there is not really a crisis of a nursing shortage in the united states but a crisis of nurses willing to work in health care environments as they are today. i appreciate the numbers reported on but most of the studies are things are far more dire in the united states and drastically impacting care across the united states health

9:41 pm
that the average age of the united states of nurses under 5 million in the united states 50% or over the age of 5a. what we found since the pandemic is the average age of experience on the nurse on a 12 hour shift in the united states dropped from six years of experience down to 2.8 years of experience. we don't have a shortage of producing enough nurses in the united states, it's not a system of recruitment, it's a system of retention. the environments are inherently unsafe and which nurses are practicing. nurses are squarely caused to systems we're rolled, the only profession that is rolled into rates and all health care professionals. we're strictly a cost to health care system so it's at their advantage to keep a stop to the lowest cost denominator from keep a stop to the lowest cost denominatorfrom business perspective for the nurses in the united states are saying it is neither safe practice because the environments and their levels at which their parent or makes it unsafe for them to practice they are

jersey for overall race leader. head over to the bbc sport website to manchester does cities when we chased him into the champions league final against inter milan. that's all from me for now. hello. for some of us, today has been a sunny day. for others, not so much. let me show you what it looked like injersey. a bit of cloud in the sky, some high cloud and a little bit of lower fairweather cloud. but broadly speaking, blue skies and some sunshine. further north in the highlands, the cloud was thickening and some rain was working its way and this is the satellite picture from earlier on. you can see this area of cloud working its way, particularly into parts of scotland. and then behind me there is more cloud waiting in the wings in the atlantic. so through tonight, across scotland's extensive cloud cover, some bits and pieces of rain and drizzle, particularly up towards the north—west. elsewhere, northern ireland, england and wales seeing a mix of patchy cloud, some clear spells, perhaps the odd mist or fog patch. and it's going to be a little bit
9:57 pm
milder than it has been over the last couple of nights, certainly in most places. so into tomorrow, a gray and slightly damp start across scotland. and then we'll see our next weather front pushing in from the west. that will introduce cloud and some splashes of rain into northern ireland and western scotland. some of that rain could actually turn quite heavy for a time. for england and wales — some spells of sunshine, but from dorset, the midlands, lincolnshire, yorkshire, eastwards we have the chance for the odd sharp shower. but just to the west of that showery zone, parts of the south west midlands and south east wales could well see highs of 20 celsius. and more broadly we're looking at temperatures between 14—18 celsius. so if you do get yourself into some sunshine, that won't feel too bad. now into friday, this frontal system continues to journey southwards and eastwards and if anything is likely to pep up as it gets down into england and wales, so we could see some heavier bursts of rain for a time. certainly the chance for some hefty showers. further north, though, northern england, northern ireland, scotland seeing a slice of sunshine before more cloud rolls its way back
9:58 pm
in from the north—west. again, though, in the sunniest spots, it will feel relatively warm highs of around 18 celsius. into the weekend, split fortunes for england and wales, some sunshine, albeit with an easterly breeze, making it feel chilly for some north sea coasts. northern ireland and scotland closer to this frontal system, bringing more cloud and bringing some outbreaks of rain, particularly in the north and the north—west of scotland, northern ireland too, edinburgh, not doing too badly further south and east. and in manchester some spells of sunshine and highs of 20 celsius. and further south again, a lot of dry weather, some sunny spells and temperatures up to around 20.
