this is bbc news, the headlines one person has died and two people have been wounded in an explosion at a court in the ukrainian capital kyiv. artificial intelligence is the most profound technology shift in our lifetime and could boost the uk's economy — that's according to a new report published by google and the latest from wimbledon — asjust stop oil protesters disrupt a second match by covering a corner of the court in orange confetti one person has died and two people have been wounded in an explosion at a court in the ukrainian capital kyiv. the kyiv city military administration says preliminary information indicates a device was detonated by a man who'd been taken to a court hearing. gordon corera is in kyiv and has sent this update. i'm at the scene of the courthouse where events unfolded about three hours ago. they started with reports

of an explosion here at this courthouse. a man who'd been detained eight years ago regarding an attack on the ukrainian parliament back in 2015 was at a hearing at this courthouse after the two hour hearing, the interior minister has told us. he then detonated a device, locked himself in the toilet, was confronted by guards as emergency services and special forces came to the scene. there was a further explosion which injured two of the guards and then eventually another explosion in which the man himself died. that's the latest that we've been told from the interior ministry. they don't know how, for instance, he got those explosives into the courtroom. that's the subject of a criminal investigation. i should say at the moment there does not appear to be any link to russia's invasion of ukraine in this incident. yes. and as you said, one wonders how

he would have got any kind of explosives into a courtroom. one would assume that security is so tight in those circumstances. that's right. so i suppose one possibility is he brought them in. the other is someone left them there for him. no one else appears to have been directly involved in this incident, but that would be one other possibility. and that was asked of the interior minister as he spoke just about five or ten minutes ago here. and he just said that that was the subject of an investigation. gordon, let's talk about something else that's happened today in terms of ukraine, and that is the iaea and the looking into the nuclear power plant in particular comments we've heard today from the iaea about wanting to get a bit more access to the plant because of course there are worries about how it's been functioning since the dam upriver was exploded a few weeks ago. what more do we know about what's been said today? yes, there've been a series of concerns. you're right, after the dam exploded, there have been concerns about the impact on the cooling of the plant.

and then overnight, we also had president zelensky here in ukraine saying that his intelligence services had told him they'd seen devices resembling explosives being placed on the roof of a couple of the power plants at that site. now, ukraine has suggested that this is russia preparing perhaps for some kind of provocation, perhaps then blaming it on ukraine, because the russians have been saying that it's the ukrainians who might launch some kind of missile or attack on it. now, the bbc has been trying to look at satellite imagery. we haven't been able to confirm and verify that there are indeed any explosives on there. and the iaea, the international atomic energy agency, does have experts on the scene. they've been looking to try and see if they can spot anything they say they haven't so far, but they do want more access, particularly to power plants three and four, which they are, which is the source of the concern. so there's still a lot of talk about this and no clarity yet on what might be there or what might still happen. but clearly, there is some concern

about that plant at the moment. our correspondent in kyiv there. tech firm google says the rise of ai marks the "most profound" technology shift in our lifetimes and might boost britain's economy by £400 billion by the end of the decade. it's made the remarks in a new report looking at economic impact in the uk. for more on this i'm nowjoined by debbie weinstein — she's google uk and ireland managing director. so good to have you on the programme, thanks for taking the time tojoin us. first programme, thanks for taking the time to join us. first of all, let's talk about the 400 billion figure, enabling annual growth of 2.6% i think the report found. where have you got these figures from? it think the report found. where have you got these figures from?- you got these figures from? it was research conducted _ you got these figures from? it was research conducted with _ you got these figures from? it was research conducted with public- research conducted with public first, which is a nonprofit research organisation that conducted the research and they were able to do some modelling using ai, and i think the worlds first ai centred, ai report. i the worlds first ai centred, ai re ort. . , the worlds first ai centred, ai re ort. ., , ., the worlds first ai centred, ai re ort. .,, ., ., the worlds first ai centred, ai reort. ., ., .,

the daily mirror she was diagnosed with the disease last year and wants to raise awareness of the condition. my family, it has absolutely decimated, my mum, my dad, my uncle barry, itjust goes on and on. and they always used to say to me, it's not hereditary. well, there is something going on. alzheimer's is the most common form of dementia, and the biggest risk factor is old age. even so, one in 20 cases is diagnosed in people under 65. only about one in 100 cases of alzheimer's is directly inherited, where a faulty gene is passed on, but there are also several genes which can increase your risk of the destructive brain disease. among the early symptoms are forgetting recent conversations or events, asking questions repetitively, and finding it harder to make decisions. our next couple are gmtv

presenter fiona phillips and her dance partner brendan! fiona phillips, who appeared on strictly in 2005, says she is on a medical trial which involves daily injections of an experimental drug. two other alzheimer's drugs have shown promising results in slowing the condition. fergus walsh, bbc news. to talk more about the disease, i am joined by tim beanland who is the head of knowledge at the alzheimer s society.. so good to talk to you. thanks for taking the time to speak to us. how common is it to have a diagnosis like fiona phillips at that young age? like fiona phillips at that young are? �* , like fiona phillips at that young aye? �* , ., like fiona phillips at that young are? h ., ., . like fiona phillips at that young are? �*, ., ., . 4. age? it's not common. we think there are about 70. — age? it's not common. we think there are about 70. or— age? it's not common. we think there are about 70, or up _ age? it's not common. we think there are about 70, or up to _ age? it's not common. we think there are about 70, or up to 70,000 - age? it's not common. we think there are about 70, or up to 70,000 peoplej are about 70, or up to 70,000 people with so—called young onset dementia, the before the age of 65. 75,000, i'd to a total of 90,000 people in the uk who have dementia. one in 15

or so, the uk who have dementia. one in 15 orso, i the uk who have dementia. one in 15 or so, i think it's getting increasingly recognised that young onset mission is a bit more common than we thought but it's still uncommon for sup dementia is very much a age—related disease. once you get above 65, your risk doubles every five years you get older. most dementia is for people in the 70s, 80s and 90s. so it's quite uncommon for someone to be diagnosed before the age of 65. for someone to be diagnosed before the age of 65— for someone to be diagnosed before the age of 65. what are the cause of us are minors. _ the age of 65. what are the cause of us are minors, or _ the age of 65. what are the cause of us are minors, or this _ the age of 65. what are the cause of us are minors, or this form - the age of 65. what are the cause of us are minors, or this form of- us are minors, or this form of dementia was marked as if you're an official saying, dementia was marked as if you're an officialsaying, members dementia was marked as if you're an official saying, members of her family had that for so is it something you pass on? it depends. it's something you pass on? it depends. it's complicated _ something you pass on? it depends. it's complicated unfortunately. - it's complicated unfortunately. people underestimate how much dementia is inherited. we don't know exactly what is going on in the brain. we know about assignments for ages, we know about also blessed by and other the thing spoke in detail

we don't know precisely what is going on. in terms of genetics, if you have an older parents in their 70s or 80s with alzheimer's, that doesn't increase your own chances very much of getting alzheimer's. the genetic risk is more concentrated in people of younger ages because if you have strong genetic causes of isomers where it cascades down through the families, it tends to express itself in younger people. so people may be in their 40s, 50s, younger people. so people may be in their40s, 50s, or younger people. so people may be in their 40s, 50s, or 60s. the genetics is complicated. one thing i would say is that for all alzheimer's, only one in 100 cases are caused by these genes which are very strongly inherited. so, if people maybe have a relative, a blood relative with alzheimer's, they shouldn't over egg at their own personal risk. risk factors like exercise, diet, look after he had come all of the sink

worried about your memory and you would be diagnosed, but for someone in midlife, if you like, it's less likely to be dementia than it would be somebody in their 80s or 90s. really good to talk to tim beanland, and really helpful, i think, for people watching it who are worried for some great advice there. thank you very much. around the world and across the uk. this is bbc news. bbc news bring you different sorts from dos the uk. tuesday morning and the street on easton in bristol are packed with carbs and fans packed up on the pavements. carbs and fans packed up on the pavements-— carbs and fans packed up on the avements. �* , ., ., , pavements. bendy ads that a problem. it's almost impossible _ pavements. bendy ads that a problem. it's almost impossible to _ pavements. bendy ads that a problem. it's almost impossible to navigate - it's almost impossible to navigate and it's unfair. zoe it's almost impossible to navigate and it's unfair.— and it's unfair. zoe lives nearby wassu - and it's unfair. zoe lives nearby wassup she's — and it's unfair. zoe lives nearby wassup she's a _ and it's unfair. zoe lives nearby wassup she's a keen _ and it's unfair. zoe lives nearby wassup she's a keen walker- and it's unfair. zoe lives nearby| wassup she's a keen walker and and it's unfair. zoe lives nearby - wassup she's a keen walker and walks for the work walking and cycling charity. for the work walking and cycling chari . ., , ., , .,, ., charity. two thirds of people from our walking _ charity. two thirds of people from our walking and _ charity. two thirds of people from our walking and cycling _ charity. two thirds of people from our walking and cycling index - charity. two thirds of people from our walking and cycling index in l our walking and cycling index in bristol also support a ban on payment parking in bristol. it’s bristol also support a ban on payment parking in bristol. it's not unusual. payment parking in bristol. it's not unusual- the _ payment parking in bristol. it's not unusual. the problem _ payment parking in bristol. it's not unusual. the problem that - payment parking in bristol. it's not| unusual. the problem that payment working in the west is a bit of a gray area where in london is

because of there was torrential rain and winds. once the rain subsided today, dishonest, and tennis continues right around me. we only had 19 minutes of play on these outside courts on tuesday, and yet it is abundant with tennis at the moment. on court to each unit, next to me, what happened with thejust stop oil supporters, we had protested supporting games. a former semifinalist game was interrupted, amen and woman came to the court and throughout thosejigsaw amen and woman came to the court and throughout those jigsaw pieces and orange convicted, we have seen memory quotes stop other games, at lloris last week and cricket. rugby and football 52. a few hours after that first process, a man went on to court 18 and instructed britain's katie boulter, interrupting proceedings there. three arrests have been made, increased security

measures have been in place since the beginning of the championships because they felt something like this could happen, just stop oil said they would target wimbledon and on the outside courts where you are close by it can happen and sadly it did. in those instances the delay was minimal. in terms of tennis, don't know what to look today. it's been incredible. it's business as usualfor been incredible. it's business as usual for novak djokovic which, he's threw to the third round. beach end jordan tillson in straight sets. he is targeting a roger fred are eight when the and 24th overall grand slam. his opponent didn't give him problems. eager swiatek, is also through safely to the third round transit when her third wimbledon title. a four—time grand slam champion but desperate to get her hand on the wimbledon title for the first on. she beat her opponent in straight sets. we have seen epic

scattered showers. so from time to time looking up in the sky, some threatening looking shower clouds, as you can see from this weather watcher picture sent in from loose in kent. but tuesday's heavy, persistent, rain moved off into the near continent. today has been a quieter story, as you can see from that satellite picture. a few scattered showers which will gradually fade through the night. we'll have some clearing skies and temperatures falling away. so it'll be a comfortable night for getting a good night's sleep. 8—11 degrees to greet us first thing on thursday morning. on the whole, thursday will continue to be dry, settled, and sunny for most. but we have got this area of low pressure pushing in from the west. winds will strengthen ahead of it, gusts perhaps in excess of 40 miles an hour. and there will be some wetter weather moving towards northern ireland, and gradually by the end of the afternoon into western fringes of scotland. potentially clouding over with a few isolated showers into wales and south west england. best of the sunshine in the southeast with highs of 22 degrees. so that bodes well for wimbledon. there's plenty of sport to look out for at the moment. thursday, dry, warm, and humid on friday. could trigger some thunderstorms on saturday. and we've got another test, starting this time in headingley in leeds.

a beautiful start, but there could be some sharp showers into the weekend. let's take a look at those in more detail. on thursday, the rain will be moving out of northern ireland and into the early hours of friday morning it'll be pushing through scotland. so we start off on friday morning with some showery outbreaks of rain to the north and west, but further south we'll once again see some clearer skies. but this frontal system will tend to lingerfor a time. it's going to tap in to some very warm and humid air as we move into friday. hence the reason we'll see this northwest, southeast divide. so some showery outbreaks of rain into northern ireland and western scotland. eastern scotland, england, wales dry, settled, sunny and increasingly hot and humid, 28—29 degrees can't be ruled out by the middle of the afternoon. that runs the risk of more thunderstorms as we move into the weekend. hence the reason for those showers for both wimbledon and for headingley. those fronts will push in and move steadily north and east.

so into the weekend, sunny spells and scattered showers and a little bit fresher.
