less open way, perhaps through individuals acting as some members who are not part of the church to volunteer for campaigns in other means. and in recent local elections in april, about 90% of candidates who had public ties to the church disclosed in the media were reelected. so there probably is not much fear within the grid that they really need to actually take this seriously. —— liberal democratic party. seriously. -- liberal democratic pa . . , seriously. -- liberal democratic pa . h , , seriously. -- liberal democratic pa . ., , , ., seriously. -- liberal democratic pa. ., , party. critics say because of this scrutiny on _ party. critics say because of this scrutiny on the _ party. critics say because of this scrutiny on the unification - party. critics say because of this| scrutiny on the unification church it may have sent a church, it may have sent a wrong signal that yamagami has achieved what he wanted through violence. we did see another assassination attempt on the current prime minister as well, what you think is happening there? i minister as well, what you think is happening there?— minister as well, what you think is happening there? i think the second attem -t on happening there? i think the second attempt on the _ happening there? i think the second attempt on the current _ happening there? i think the second attempt on the current prime -

elena rybakina, looked nervous at times on thursday. alize cornet causing her problems despite injury, but elena rybakina in the end safely through to the third round in straight sets. no such joy for casper ruud, a man who has reached three of the last four grand slam finals. he's still figuring it out on grass, and the british wild card, liam brody, took advantage, winning a five set thriller. elina svitolina is the highest ranked ukrainian player at these championships. she found a way past elise mertens in three sets, understandably emotional afterwards. elina svitolina reached the quarterfinals of the french open recently, having come back from maternity leave. friday here should be a cracker. we are going to see novak djokovic, iga swiatek, last year's beaten finalist, ons jabeur. you're live with bbc news.

an eight—year—old girl has been killed and 16 people were injured when a land rover crashed into a primary school in wimbledon in south—west london. it happened at a girls school for children aged between 4 and ii — during what was thought to be a garden party for the last day of term. 10 people were taken to hospital. a woman in her 40s has been arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving. our special correspondent lucy manning reports. tables, chairs and mats laid out. a sense of excitement about the last day of term. the young girls celebrating the end of school for the summer. now a terrible, heartbreaking scene. this outdoor party crushed beneath the car. just before ten this morning the land rover smashed into one of the buildings at the study prep school. the damage done to the small

children by the heavy car hard to think about. it appears it crashed through a fence and across the grass into the girls. i was able to witness children that were put inside ambulances, i'd say roughly five of those. and the damage i was able to witness, it was very severe and for quite a few of the children that i saw it seemed like they could be very life—threatening. standing alongside colleagues from the ambulance, fire brigade and the school's governor and head teachers, the senior police officer couldn't hide her feelings about what had happened here hours before. our officers, along with colleagues from other emergency services, provided first aid to a number of people who have been injured. shakily: very sadly, one of the children, i an eight—year—old girl, died at the scene. the trauma clear on the faces

of the governor and head teacher. this is absolutely devastating for the school, can you give us your thoughts as to what this tragedy means for you, the parents and the pupils? you will perhaps appreciate that the school community is profoundly affected by this tragedy and at the moment we are really not in a position to make any further comment about it. we will be in communication with all those in the community about the further steps that we as a school will be taking. some parents have come to the police cordon, giving their child's details to officers, every parent desperate to know that their child is safe, but not every parent has been so lucky. ambulances, the air ambulance, police and fire brigade rushed to the scene shortly after the crash to take a number of casualties to hospital. a major incident was declared. 16 people were treated at the school and ten were then taken to hospital. i think what was happening was the traditional year three end

this evening on the back of a police lorry the car was removed from the grounds. officers are investigating whether the driver suffered some sort of medical incident. what should have been a joyful day in class, saying goodbye to friends for the holidays, has left a school broken, a family bereft and the girl's young friends hurting. lucy manning, bbc news. let's take a look at some of the stories in the headlines in the uk... a 23—year—old man has been found guilty of the murder of ellie edwards on christmas eve. miss edwards, who was 26—years—old, was shot dead by connor chapman outside the lighthouse pub in wallasey where she was celebrating — just before midnight. liverpool crown court heard that mr chapman was involved in a gang feud in the area and ms edwards was an innocent bystander. the uk cabinet office has lost a legal challenge,

to block the handover of borisjohnson's unredacted whatsapp messages, notebooks and diaries, to the covid inquiry. the government argued — it should not submit material — that — it said — was "un—ambiguously irrelevant" — but high court judges said the government shouldn't decide what was relevant. it has until monday afternoon to hand over the documents. the mother of stephen lawrence says she is "bitterly disappointed" that four retired detectives who ran a failed investigation into her son's murder will not face criminal charges. baroness doreen lawrence said her "hope has been in vain" and the crown prosecution service announcement was a "disgrace". stephen was 18 when he was killed in a racist attack in south london in 1993. twitter�*s new rival — threads, which was launched by facebook owner meta — has attracted 30 million users twitter�*s new rival — threads, which was launched by facebook owner meta — has attracted 30 million users in less than 2a hours. now, twitter is reportedly considering legal action against them for intellectual property violations.

our north america technology correspondent james clayton reports. threads launched 2a hours ago, yet it's had a rise that's really incomparable to any other social media company. mark zuckerberg says that 30 million people havejoined up. to put that into context, it took instagram two months to get to 1 million users. behind me is the global hq of twitter. i've been inside it, and there are floors with just no one working in them. elon musk has sacked hundreds and hundreds of people. i've been speaking to some of those people today. they say how sad it is that a product they've spent years, often, working on is under threat. elon musk is also a twitter fanatic. so much so, that he spent $41; billion acquiring it. and yet his stewardship of twitter has been sometimes chaotic and has taken a toll on the billionaire. this is what he said to me in a surprise interview with the bbc in april.

it's been really quite a stressful situation, you know, for the last several months, not an easy one. but apart from the pain... so, it's been quite painful, but i think at the end of the day, it should've been done. were there are many mistakes made on the way? of course. threads bares more than a passing resemblance to twitter, and there were reports tonight that mr musk�*s personal layer threatening to sue meta over the stealing of trade secrets and intellectual property. it's still far too early to tell how threads is going to do. it's one thing to have a million new users, it's another to keep them. but it's pretty clear that threads represents the biggest challenge to twitter since elon musk purchased the platform. james clayton, bbc news. now, we have seen a lot of growth in the world of ai generated art, but how about a robot, who uses al to actually paint what it sees?

that's exactly what the robot ai—da does — so in a first for newsday, here's an interview with an ai and her creator, aidan meller — speaking to my colleague lewis vaughanjones... very excited to present to you this is ai—da the first ultra—realistic group of artists and we are here at the ai for good conference organised by the united nations. what the ai for good conference organised by the united nations.— by the united nations. what can she do? she's a — by the united nations. what can she do? she's a very _ by the united nations. what can she do? she's a very unusual— by the united nations. what can she do? she's a very unusual in - by the united nations. what can she do? she's a very unusual in that - by the united nations. what can she do? she's a very unusual in that she| do? she's a very unusual in that she can paint and draw by sight, she camera in her eyes is able to look at is scene it's an extraordinary thing to watch in person. flan at is scene it's an extraordinary thing to watch in person.- thing to watch in person. can i ask her a question. — thing to watch in person. can i ask her a question, can _ thing to watch in person. can i ask her a question, can you _ thing to watch in person. can i ask her a question, can you relay - thing to watch in person. can i ask her a question, can you relay the i her a question, can you relay the question for me? {iii her a question, can you relay the question for me?— her a question, can you relay the question for me? of course it's so nosy here. — question for me? of course it's so

indeed able to extend life. so what she did is a meditation for the first time, a world premier performance looking at the whole greek myth of eos into thinness, one being in love with the other but she was a mere mortal, given a mortal life and as a result eos was really excited but sadly he got older and older. she forgot to ask for internal youth with that and so she did a performance on that. not sure if i should be impressed _ performance on that. not sure if i should be impressed or— performance on that. not sure if i should be impressed or scared i performance on that. not sure if i i should be impressed or scared with that. i will be back with business and shortly but for now thank you so for watching the hello there. thursday was a better day for play

at wimbledon and for the start of the test at headingley. there was quite a lot of cloud generally, but we did see temperatures peaking at 23 degrees. however, into friday, we're tapping into some heat and humidity, and temperatures may well peak as high as 29 celsius, 84 fahrenheit. there was some cloud and rain around, though, and you can see quite clearly where i'm talking about on the satellite picture. this is a frontal system bringing some wet weather, fairly showery first thing friday morning across scotland and northern ireland. slowly brightening up into the afternoon. but with that southerly wind direction dragging in that warm, humid air as we go through the day, producing clear skies across england and wales, temperatures will respond. highs of 29 celsius in one or two areas by the middle of the afternoon. so that means for the tennis at wimbledon, we could see temperatures as high as 27. it has the potential to be the best or the hottest day of this season's championship. and it'll be similar story as well for the men's ashes.

thunderstorms perhaps threatening as we go through the weekend. as we go into friday evening, it will be a relatively quiet one. during the early hours of saturday, we've got this front pushing in from the south—west, but temperatures not falling very far. it's going to be a humid night, an uncomfortable nght for getting a good night's sleep, particularly in the south—east, as temperatures only as low as 18—19 celsius. and with that front continuing to move in from the south—west, bumping into that humid air, that has the potential to spark off some sharp, thundery downpours. they will drift their way steadily north and east, so saturday will not be a wash—out by any means. but if you do have outdoor plans, it's worth bearing in mind that there could be some interruptions with some sharp showers. top temperatures as we go through saturday still on the warm side at 20—21; degrees, maybe 27 across parts of east anglia and the south—east. need to keep a close eye on sunday. there's a risk of some really sharp, thundery downpours moving up from france, butjust where they will appear is still subject to question so keep

abreast of the forecast for the second half of the weekend. just to summarise then, our weekend is going to start off on a humid note. there will be some decent sunny spells around from time to time, but also the risk of some sharp, thundery downpours. take care. played, william broady, he knows how to tough it out, get the job done. —— liam broady. how about that?! wow! that is world—class. world—class tennis. applause. applause. a couple of people on their feet. that is wonderful. oh, there is one! well now, i think he deserves to get another break her oh, there is one!
