3:34 pm
tipuric�*s been capped 93 times by wales and had been named in warren gatland's sit—man training squad for the world cup. in a statement, tipuric, who's 33, said "during the off season i've had time to reflect on my career and now seems the right time to step away from international rugby. " history beckons for ireland's katie taylor who could become the undisputed super—lightweight champion tomorrow when she takes on chantelle cameron in dublin. it'll be a momentous occasion for taylor — fighting in ireland for first time since turning professional. undefeated taylor is stepping up to super—lightweight, to take on the also undefeated cameron. and is excited about bringing what she describes as a huge fightback to her homeland. one of the things i wanted to achieve when i turned pro six years ago was to fight at home. this is a nation that loves their sport and their boxing and for a small nation we are very good at it, as well, so it is amazing to bring big—time back sink back to this nation —— big—time
3:35 pm
boxing back to this nation. this is a very specialfight, boxing back to this nation. this is a very special fight, one of the biggest in boxing i believe. it promises to be explosive. and that's all the sport for now. breaking news, from the police, a 37—year—old man has died after being attacked by a dog. the victim was found in greater manchester with serious injuries shortly after nine o'clock on thursday and he was taken to hospital but news of his death in the early hours of friday. armed officers were deployed to control the dog and used every available tactic to subdue the animal before it was destroyed because it posed a significant risk to the public. and a 24—year—old man has been arrested on suspicion of being in charge of a dangerously out of control dog
3:36 pm
causing injury, resulting in death. just to confirm what we are hearing from police in the city of manchester, a 37—year—old man has died after being attacked by a dog. some of the early details but when we have more we will return to that. now to the nasa news conference. this is about a landing vehicle which is going on a trip to the moon. the artemis landing system is being discussed and we can now go over life. —— live. just being discussed and we can now go over life. -- live.— over life. -- live. just over two ears over life. -- live. just over two years ago _ over life. -- live. just over two years ago nasa _ over life. -- live. just over two years ago nasa announced - over life. -- live. just over two j years ago nasa announced that over life. -- live. just over two - years ago nasa announced that spacex would build a human landing system
3:37 pm
to deliver the first astronaut to the lunar surface. it has been half a century since we were there. we held a robust competition for the first landing. spacex is making good progress. we have big goals for our artemis programme, about one mission a year to the lunar surface for stays for our astronauts of up to 30 days, and today's announcement is about maintaining that cadence. it is about maintaining our excellence as the world's top space programme and to maintain that for generations to come. it is about maintaining collaboration with our industry partners who will enable generations of explorers and pioneers to live and work on other planets. so we are
3:38 pm
here today to make an exciting announcement about a second award. an additional different lander will help make sure that we have the hardware necessary for a series of landings. to carry out the science and technology development on the surface of the moon. and that what we do on the surface of the moon is in preparation for us to go to mars. i have said it before, we want more competition. we want two landers. that is better, and it means that you have reliability. you have back—up. it benefits nasa and the
3:39 pm
american people. these are public—private partnerships and it is the new way that we go to the moon. it helps nasa shirt the risk, the technical risk, and the financial risk —— share the risk. the cost. to enable at the end of the day mission success. this new lander will be built and operated according to nasa's sustaining lunar lander requirements which needless to say, when you put astronauts in that environment, those requirements are vigorous. those capabilities include docking with gateway, the mini some call lunar space station,
3:40 pm
and it includes increased crew capacity and it includes transporting more cargo for science and exploration on the surface of the moon. and so today, we nasa, announced that blue origin and partners draper, bowen, as robotic and honeybee robotics will build a human landing system to deliver nasa astronauts to the lunar surface. for the artemis five mission, nasser�*s rocket will launch four astronauts to lunar orbit aboard orion and they will transfer to the gateway before
3:41 pm
entering blue origin�*s blue moon landerfor a week long entering blue origin�*s blue moon lander for a week long trip to the south poll, and that they will conduct science and exploration activities. our partnership will only add to this golden age of human space flight. our work with commercial and international partners is keeping people fixated on the stars and if you doubt this international aspect, just look how we were received a month ago when we went to ottawa in canada, and received by the canadian government, because the first foreign astronaut on artemis ii to the moon is a canadian astronaut. they are eager to be our partner and that is true
3:42 pm
across the globe. the historic artemis i test flight six months ago was a huge success. in houston last month we saw first—hand the progress that it month we saw first—hand the progress thatitis month we saw first—hand the progress that it is making on the spacesuits and those are the ones that our astronauts will wear on the moon. spacex is working hard on their starship and lander which will deliver the first woman and the next man to the surface. i ask and i still askjim every day at how we are doing on the schedule for artemis to and he says that we are on track for the fall of 2024 —— artemis ii. and with today's
3:43 pm
announcement we are making an additional investment in the infrastructure that will pave the way to land the first humans on mars. it was an incredible moment in space flight history. —— it is. it has been 61 years since the words from president kennedy that reverberated through rice stadium made their way into the history books. we know the first part... we go to the moon in this decade and do other things, go to the moon in this decade and do otherthings, not go to the moon in this decade and do other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard. but he continued after that... because that goal will serve to organise and measure the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept,
3:44 pm
one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one in which we intend to win. our shared ambitions are now no less lofty than when president kennedy dared a generation of dreamers to journey to the moon. and so today in this golden era of exploration, the artemis generation, nasa chooses to return to the moon together with our commercial partners and with our international partners and together our work will pave the way for astronauts to one day venture to mars. jackie. astronauts to one day venture to mars- jackie-—
3:45 pm
thank you. i want to welcome some of our partners _ thank you. i want to welcome some of our partners from blue origin to 'oin our partners from blue origin to join us _ our partners from blue origin to join us in — our partners from blue origin to join us in the auditorium. next we are going to hear from jim. thank you, jackie. it is a great honour tojoin you here thank you, jackie. it is a great honour to join you here and welcome our new team—mate to the side of the artemis programme in blue origin, and congratulate you on your award. as the administrator mentioned, this lander is targeted for artemis five which is the inner section of our test flight and our long—term plans but i would like to talk to you
3:46 pm
about the other missions and then talk a bit more specifically about five and so the administrator talked about artemis i, a flawless mission, we have used a lot of superlatives and all of them well earned and the data that we have from that mission is informing our next one which, the crew being here in dc, i have only heard the stories of them, i have not seen them, but they have been an incredible crew, flying artemis ii, fly around the moon and then give us the confidence to fly cruise on every mission thereafter. as was always mentioned, artemis iii will have the spacex lander and the axiom suits, critical developments for us returning humans to the moon where we will have the humans to explore the history that is the south poll, all that history right on the moon, and we will use the decision making
3:47 pm
skills of the crew to bring back for our science mission director and partners to use and export further. thomas opened the sample last year, the last sample of the apollo programme, and that challenged us to get back sooner, so the gauntlet has been laid down. artemis four, where we bring on the exploration upper stage, the payload capability with our international partner, the european space agency. continuing to build our capability... european space agency. continuing to build our capability. . ._ build our capability... studio: we are auoin build our capability... studio: we are going to _ build our capability... studio: we are going to come _ build our capability... studio: we are going to come away. - build our capability... studio: we are going to come away. nasa - build our capability... studio: we i are going to come away. nasa they're talking about the golden age of space flights —— there. they will talk about spacex who are building
3:48 pm
the next lander. blue origin are the ones who have won this nasa contract. the chief said there in terms of artemis ii, he asks every day how they are doing, and they say they are on track for the autumn of next year. live now to the space journalist kate arkless gray. they talked about having worked through the starship and the rockets and now we are getting to the land itself. ,, . , , and now we are getting to the land itself. ,, ., , , , ., ., itself. starship is one of the landin: itself. starship is one of the landing systems, _ itself. starship is one of the landing systems, that - itself. starship is one of the landing systems, that is - itself. starship is one of thej landing systems, that is the itself. starship is one of the - landing systems, that is the first one they selected, and what they have done in the announcement is selected another company to provide a different type of lander and this is for later missions when the gateway, luna gateway, will be in place. ratherthan gateway, luna gateway, will be in place. rather than the astronauts docking from orion, the spacecraft
3:49 pm
which goes up, docking with starship and going down to the moon, this will allow them to dock with the luna gateway and then from there use the second kind of lander to get down to the lunar surface. taste the second kind of lander to get down to the lunar surface. we have had a flurry — down to the lunar surface. we have had a flurry of _ down to the lunar surface. we have had a flurry of announcements - down to the lunar surface. we have had a flurry of announcements in i had a flurry of announcements in recent months and they are really re—energising, it was always there in the sector, but there is such interest again in their various space missions, whether it is to the moon or mars. space missions, whether it is to the moon or mars— space missions, whether it is to the moon or mars. absolutely. so much excitement — moon or mars. absolutely. so much excitement around _ moon or mars. absolutely. so much excitement around the _ moon or mars. absolutely. so much excitement around the moon - moon or mars. absolutely. so much excitement around the moon in - moon or mars. absolutely. so much excitement around the moon in the | excitement around the moon in the last decade and i haven't seen it quietly in the sector —— i have. the big team they have got, blue origin, it includes some of the old partners who have worked on orion and the sls rocket, boeing and lockheed, so they are very experienced, but also younger companies like as robotic
3:50 pm
who are part of this group who are making this lander and they were one of the teams who started out with the google lunar x prize which was a competition to see if there was a private company which could send a rover to the surface of the moon and have rove along the surface and send back video. nobody won the competition, the deadline was met and it was not, nobody was able to close the business case and get their lunar lander is to the moon but it is amazing to see some of those companies still active and another private company i space had another private company i space had an attempt to land a rover on the moon and sadly they did not manage it but it is exciting to see the energy and the companies and the fact that nasa is they're putting money into the lunar economy, enabling more companies to get involved and to see how fast we can

3:52 pm
giving them a safe approach to training without them bombarding into the coffee table? i want to help show people thatjust because a dog has lost its site, they can still have an absolutely incredible life —— lost its eyesight. you're live with bbc news. it has been reported that russia says it has put the icc prosecutor on a wanted list. we knew that russia was investigating the chief prosecutor for the international criminal court and they had opened a case against him and other icc judges in march but certainly they are upping the ante to put the icc prosecutor on the wanted list. the icc looking to bring a case against vladimir putin himself and other key players in moscow for the overseeing of the abduction of children from
3:53 pm
ukraine and taking them to russia as well as crimes against humanity. russia is not a signatory to the icc but that has gone back and forth between moscow and the icc over the last few months and this is the latest with russia saying they will put the icc prosecutor on a wanted list. that news being reported by the afp but whether this comes as the afp but whether this comes as the west looks at more sanctions against moscow, we don't know, but we will return to that if we get more. a 95—year—old woman is in hospital with life—threatening head injuries after being tasered by police in australia. this is the care home in cooma where clare nowland — who uses a walking frame and suffers from dementia — was tasered when she approached officers with a steak knife. the incident has sparked an outcry from the community, who say the response was disproportionate. the new south wales police chief says an investigation is under way.
3:54 pm
at the time she was tasered, she was approaching police, but it is fair to say at a slow pace. she had a walking frame. but she had a knife. an investigation has commenced, and that's called a critical incident investigation. given what was before us at midday on wednesday, this investigation was nominated as a level1 critical incident. if a threshold is met where it changes from being a departmental issue into a criminal issue, we are certainly mature enough and transparent enough as an organisation to do what has to be done. our sydney correspondent phil mercer brought us more details on this story.
3:55 pm
two police officers were called to this nursing home in the state of new south wales. it's a relatively short distance to the national capital, canberra. there, they found a 95—year—old woman who had taken a serrated steak knife from the kitchen and was brandishing that knife. the two officers and care home staff members tried to calm the situation, but, according to the police, this elderly woman was advancing towards those police officers and she was tasered twice, once in the chest and once in the back, falling over, fracturing her skull, suffering a bleed on the brain and, according to family members, they don't expect her to survive these critical head injuries she is being treated for in hospital. so that police investigation you referred to will have to answer many questions, one of which is why the police felt
3:56 pm
threatened by a 95—year—old woman advancing towards them, using a walking frame, when she was just five feet two inches tall and weighing less than 100lbs. so many, many questions for the police here in eastern australia to answer. stay with us here on bbc news. some parts of england and wales had some hefty downpours to contend with but england and wales will have the lion's share of the dry and sunny weather and the sun is strong at this time of year. maybe a bit of rain at times but not a huge amount. you can see this area of cloud in the west of the uk, that turns the sunshine quite hazy, mainly high—level cloud and a few blobs of showers over at central and southern parts and some of the shower is
3:57 pm
drifting westwards through the evening into wales and south—west england and then dying away. overnight we have cloud and some splashes of rain getting in across northern ireland and parts of scotland and temperatures generally between 6—11 and it may get a bit chilly in some parts of eastern england. tomorrow morning over england. tomorrow morning over england and wales, a bit of mist and low cloud but that will clear quickly and then a lot of patchy cloud and northern ireland and scotland will see more in the way of cloud, some splashes of rain, but probably not a huge amount. bit of sunshine in north eastern scotland which will make it feel warm, highest temperatures further north, 19, 20, for liverpool and cardiff, but whatever the temperatures say, many places will have high uv levels so protect yourself if you are out for any length of time. saturday night the frontal system will pep up
3:58 pm
so the rain over northern ireland and scotland will turn heavier but only briefly and the rain will ease off on sunday, although still a lot off on sunday, although still a lot of cloud and a bit of dampness, but for england and wales, quite a lot of sunshine and just a bit of patchy cloud. it will feel a bit cooler for some eastern coasts but further west, liverpool up to 20, and it would be a cooler day in northern scotland. next week of the area of high pressure will dominate, sitting to the south—west, it will block the progress broadly speaking of any weather systems and maybe a bit of rain at times in the north of the uk, especially the north of scotland, but for most it is looking largely dry, patchy cloud and sunny spells, and while there will not be a heat wave, it will feel pleasant in the sunshine.
3:59 pm
4:00 pm
live from london, this is bbc news. two summits dominated by the future of ukraine — president zelesnky arrives in jeddah to appeal for arab support. unfortunately, there are some in the world and here among you who turn a blind eye to the cages and the illegal annexations. syria's president assad is invited to that arab league gathering — we'll assess the significance of that after a decade of brutal civil war. meanwhile, g7 leaders injapan announce new sanctions against moscow — we'll have the latest. john allan quits as chairman of the uk's biggest supermarket, tesco, following allegations of inappropriate behaviour by four women.
