8:30 pm
we'll be looking into deepfakes and the damage they can cause. but before all of that, here is gavin. hello from the bbc sport centre. this is your update from the bbc sport studio. another busy day at wimbledon to bring you first, and we were treated to another andy murray five set thriller today — but the home crowd left centre court disappointed earlier. his tournament over — as is the case for the british number one cam norries. let's catch up with chetan pathak who's there for us. let's start with the men's side of the draw — and a bad day for the british players today. disappointing results coming within a few hours of each other. we will
8:31 pm
start with andy murray, the two—time champion, winning his first title backin champion, winning his first title back in 2013. a total contrast from thursday night where he went two sets to one when the curfew meant that a match had to be carried over into friday afternoon, but credits to the fifth seed from greece to then when those two sets. andy murray's great frustration and some andy murray's wimbledon ends yet again at the second round stage. frustration for him, the british number one was beaten by america's christopher eubanks. nori was a semi finalist last year, but his championships are over, as are liam brody, the british wild card. brody beaten by dennis, his route to semifinals here, he knocked out andy murray a couple of years ago, five sets, brody brave again and really full of character. it couldn't get
8:32 pm
himself over the line. one man who is wimbledon does continue as the top seed through to the third round. he beat alexander muller, the frenchman, causing problems at times, including that second set that was one on a tie—break. seen by many as the big contender for novak djokovic�*s crown getting that wind that he needs. speaking of novak djokovic, his match will get under way shortly. they are setting out onto the court. fin way shortly. they are setting out onto the court.— way shortly. they are setting out onto the court. ., �*, , onto the court. on the women's side ofthe onto the court. on the women's side of the draw. — the world number one iga switek, will be feeling confident of going further than she ever has at wimbledon. 7 she is through to the fourth round. she's beaten petra in straight sets. a good when for her. french open championship, when the us open. can she win this one? a defending champion playing katie boelter on saturday.
8:33 pm
england are still in the fight, in the third ashes test against australia at headingley, after failing to take advantage with the bat earlier — they managed to claim some crucial and big wickets by the close of day. australia lead by 142 runs with six wickets remaining in their second innings. joe wilson was watching. i think most thank you supporters came to the ground at the start of the second day hoping that england would battle. england and yorkshire. joe root and johnny bristow fell in the first half—hour of play and it came down guess who. ben stokes clearly inhibited by injury, clearly able to clear the boundary ropes. they success, especially brutal on the young australian as stokes made 18 and got back into the match. murphy did take his wicket. the ashes does strange things to even the best players. steve smith will be wondering how he managed to give their wickets away with catches. how
8:34 pm
big does australian's lead me to be before they feel comfortable? how much strength to england have left to take the six remaining australian second innings wickets? heartbreak for mark cavendish who came so close to winning stage seven of the tour de france, and with it a record breaking 35th stage victory. with about 800m to go, cavendish came out to surge into the lead, butjasper philipsen got in his slipstream, and accelerated past him for his third win of the race. so near and yet so far for cavendish who was hoping to make history today on the seventh stage of the tour. and that's all the sport for now. some cyclist. thank you very much indeed. now — i want you to take a look at this. elon musk presented his project in which is already invested more than $3 billion, the new project opens up great investment opportunities for british citizens. many people in the uk will recognise the familiar face of martin lewis.
8:35 pm
the consumer, finance expert who regularly appears on the bbc to give advice on money and savings. except it is not. it is a deep fake. it is an ai generated impression of martin lewis and it is very convincing. in the ad, people are encouraged to invest in an musk—backed project, and it has been widely circulated on social media. and martin lewis as you might expect is less than impressed. it's pretty weird and it's pretty frightening too, because my face and name have been the subject of scam adverts for the last six or seven years, i get countless reports every day and this is the first deep fake that i've seen with me on it. it's the first deep fake scam advert i've seen with anybody in it and it is already difficult enough to persuade people... i've had friends of mine get in touch with me at times to say, "hey, i'vejust put some money on that investment scheme your advertising." i don't advertise, i don't do investments. lets speak now to henry ajder. he's an expert and advisor on al. hejoins me from cambridge.
8:36 pm
he is right. it is pretty frightening. it should be frightening. it should be frightening or alarming to anybody with the profile because the ordinary person might not be able to discern that that is a fake. absolutely. i couldn't agree more. the targeting of martin is really insidious because particularly in a time like this in a cost crisis when people are really looking for trusted figures such as martin and he is such a trusted reputation in this country. to try to get him and to create a deep fake like this at a time when people are really listening understand how they can get by is incredibly concerning. and i started researching deep fakes in this kind of content six years ago and i predicted the scenarios happening, and now they really are happening, and now they really are happening and it's notjust, you know, hollywood celebrities any more. it's not a uk popularfigures, and it will inevitably trickle down to the everyday person, and that is
8:37 pm
something we have also seen, people having their loved ones voices actually cloned as well to say, look, i'm in trouble, dad, i need some money, i'm in a bit of a pickle, you know, people have been pulled by this, so it is a concerning development. i5 pulled by this, so it is a concerning development. pulled by this, so it is a concernin: develoment. , ., , concerning development. is there any wa the concerning development. is there any way the ordinary _ concerning development. is there any way the ordinary man _ concerning development. is there any way the ordinary man or— concerning development. is there any way the ordinary man or women - concerning development. is there anyj way the ordinary man or women could look at that or look into the background of edits and discern that it is a fake? 50. background of edits and discern that it is a fake? ., .,, ,., ., it is a fake? so, for me, as someone who looks — it is a fake? so, for me, as someone who looks at — it is a fake? so, for me, as someone who looks at this _ it is a fake? so, for me, as someone who looks at this content _ it is a fake? so, for me, as someone who looks at this content every - it is a fake? so, for me, as someone who looks at this content every day l who looks at this content every day and is really familiar with it, yes, there were some signs that i could pick up on, the lip synchronisation wasn't absolutely perfect. there were some issues of the profiling of the face which didn't look quite right and indeed the voice as much as it was really very convincing still had a few slight issues. but for the everyday person from a person who doesn't know much about al or deep fakes of this kind of content, it's not fair to accept them to be able to spot all of these subtle signs. them to be able to spot all of these subtle signs-— subtle signs. because it could “ust be a oor subtle signs. because it could “ust be a poor connection, * subtle signs. because it could just be a poor connection, couldn't - subtle signs. because it could just| be a poor connection, couldn't to? we do so many interviews these days
8:38 pm
through the computer that it could just be that sort of an anomaly that you see on a slow connection. talk to me about the advances in the technology? how quickly is it advancing? i technology? how quickly is it advancing?— technology? how quickly is it advancin. ? . , ., , advancing? i mean, the phrase exoonential— advancing? i mean, the phrase exponential is _ advancing? i mean, the phrase exponential is thrown - advancing? i mean, the phrase exponential is thrown around i advancing? i mean, the phrase exponential is thrown around a| advancing? i mean, the phrase i exponential is thrown around a lot in technology, but this technology truly is evolving exponentially. that is incredibly fast. 0ver truly is evolving exponentially. that is incredibly fast. over the last 18 months, we have seen radical changes in the realism of the outputs that can be generated, the videos committee audio that can be generated by ai, how efficient it is, how much computational power is needed, how much data is needed, but the most important one is how much accessibility these tools now have. all you need is an e—mail, password and credit card, and the user interfaces are so easy to access. it's so easy to make this content now, that is what has dramatically changed. so really we are in a new age when it comes to ai generated content that i predicted but didn't expect to happen as quickly as it

8:40 pm
new technologies. with these kinds of scams, many people don't understand that it is possible to clone someone's voice like that with al were to swap their lip movements ai were to swap their lip movements like that as well. so we really need to understand whether this should be classified as an entirely new form of harm and whether lawmakers need to consider it as something that needs legislating distinctively. that's notjust any uk, that's globally. in my opinion, this does changed again. this does need special treatment because these are spreading so quickly, we have seen that which was like chat gpt, which is similar kinds of artificial intelligence. they are and everyone's hands now, and when we can change that media landscape so quickly in the harms that come with it, cybersecurity, fraud, disinformation, image abuse against women, we are really in new worlds and a new world needs a new framework to govern it and make sure that these harms are mitigated as effectively as possible.— effectively as possible. before i let ou i effectively as possible. before i let you i was — effectively as possible. before i let you i was just _ effectively as possible. before i let you i was just thinking - effectively as possible. before i

8:42 pm
of japan's proposal. i don't have the authority, or the iea does not have the authority to stop or to start anything. this is a sovereign decision byjapan and by the operator, when they start, when they stop. what we do is, we provide a technical impartial review. if at any point in the process we detect a problem, or something which is outside the parameters... what are my basic parameters? it's the conformity with the internationally agreed safety standards. so it's very clear. it's not my opinion, or my perception, which is highly subjective. or the perception and the opinions of others, which is also subjective.
8:43 pm
live now to hawaii , dr robert richmond is the director of the kewalo marine laboratory at the university of hawaii. he's among a group of international scientists working with the pacific island forum to assess the waste water release plan. listening to that, it seems we are at the point where japan will begin releasing some of this water. do you think they should?— think they should? thanks for the invitation and _ think they should? thanks for the invitation and i _ think they should? thanks for the invitation and i think _ think they should? thanks for the invitation and i think the - think they should? thanks for the invitation and i think the plan - invitation and i think the plan release is pending and i don't think it's proper. i would say at the very best right now, it's premature based on the last 18 months of work that i and my colleagues on the expert advisory panel to the pacific island firm have performed our due diligence. a membrane biologist by training, so that's my area of focus and i would have to say that i am not convinced at this point that the plan going forward will protect the health of the water or all those who
8:44 pm
depend upon it. health of the water or all those who depend upon it— depend upon it. rafael grassi said in this press _ depend upon it. rafael grassi said in this press conference _ depend upon it. rafael grassi said in this press conference that - depend upon it. rafael grassi said in this press conference that the l in this press conference that the material would pass through marine organisms without causing harm. he says many nuclear plants around the world already discharge. is it tritium, the radioactive isotope that we are talking about that is in the waste. have i got that right? so we the waste. have i got that right? sr we collect radiated water because tritium itself is a hydrogen compound. it's radiated water that is a concern. when we look at the chemistry, that is where we have had some animated discussions of any gay physicist. they are treating the ocean as a sterile vessel. as of the ocean as a sterile vessel. as of the ocean where a sterile vessel in which you are putting a certain known concentration of radioactive material and then you calculate the volume of the ocean, you would say that the dilution is great. but biology does the exact opposite. we
8:45 pm
have the writing marine ecosystems with complex trophic interactions, and everything from phytoplankton from the small angie that flowed around to the ocean to the top predators like tuna will pick up trophic we transferred, and many of these nuclides can in fact get bio accumulated. the question isn't what... that is not an indicator of stress. we've new techniques and technologies that are not being applied here. the same things we use in human health. if you feel bad coming see your doctor. you may say i feel terrible and your doctor agrees and say look terrible, but then you do diagnostic testing. the diagnostic testing being done in the experienced being used of the water are in adequate and inaccurate. the radiological environmental impact assessment that we reviewed is in fact efficient in many areas and so we have a saying that the absence of
8:46 pm
evidence is not evidence of absence. and if you have doubts, then you have a problem. and it's notable that within the disagreements and within the opposition injapan, it is the fishing industry that is the biggest concern because people don't want to buy their product if there is any doubt at all. the question is what do you do with it? you can't have 1 what do you do with it? you can't have1 million gallons what do you do with it? you can't have 1 million gallons of waterjust sitting there, particularly in an earthquake zone. what do you do with it? , ., ., , ., �* , it? very good question. it's one thin for it? very good question. it's one thing for us _ it? very good question. it's one thing for us to _ it? very good question. it's one thing for us to say _ it? very good question. it's one thing for us to say we _ it? very good question. it's one thing for us to say we don't - it? very good question. it's one i thing for us to say we don't agree with the plan going forward. so saying no is one thing, but the situation is there and has to be dealt with. there actually is more space there. we did a very careful calculation and study on an alternative of using the contaminated water into concrete for use on the site. i was at the fukushima site in february as part of a mission from the pacific island firm, and they need to use a lot of
8:47 pm
concrete for building up the seat belt to what it should have been to this accident from occurring. they have an underground ice barrier to try to keep ground water out of the ones in meltdown and they need to stabilise radioactive soil around the area as well. we calculated with 30 plus years that are going to be necessary for this discharge as planned. this would use up the existing water in about five years. once you put it into concrete, the treaty needed water is in concrete to cannot be like biologically available and takes away the transboundary issue, meaning that when japan starts transboundary issue, meaning that whenjapan starts releasing this water, it is not going to stay within the economics own commit will travel across the pacific currents and organisms and also takes away this transgenerational issue. if you have tritium with a half—life of 12.3 years, and concrete after 50 years, for half—lives committee will be down to less than 6% of the original radiation, so we feel this concrete option is much better
8:48 pm
stopwatch very quickly, i'm nearly out of time, that seems a perfect sensible solution to this. mix it with cement, stick it in the sea well, stick it in anything you need to decommission the site. i have a not chosen that option then? politics and finance. we've come to this discussion. we put a lot of deflection and diversion, everything from we can't do it to there would be salt in it and it would undermine the integrity of the concrete. my point is if they are liquid processing system is based on reverse osmosis are part of that, the salt is getting there, certainly radionuclides would as well. that the salt is getting there, certainly radionuclides would as well. at too hea on radionuclides would as well. at too heavy on the _ radionuclides would as well. at too heavy on the programme. - radionuclides would as well. at too heavy on the programme. thank. radionuclides would as well. at too i heavy on the programme. thank you very much. heavy on the programme. thank you ve much. ~ ,., heavy on the programme. thank you ve much. ~ . heavy on the programme. thank you very much-— very much. think so much for the opportunity- _ around the world and across the uk. this is bbc news. bringing your different stories from across the uk. accidents like this happen on a regular basis according to residents here. the speed limit

8:50 pm
there is an awful lot of hype around it. from the leaked images of the actors who star in it, ryan gosling and margot robbie, who play ken and barbie, to this pink oceanside barbie house in malibu, which ken has reportedly posted on airbnb. if pink's your thing, then this is supposedly available from mid july. for toymaker mattel, barbie is the crown jewel, driving about a third of its $5 billion in annual sales. but more recently, the glitzy heels have gone out of fashion. and so mattel have turned to a tried and tested remedy. a new movie franchise which they hope will reinvigotate their ailing brand. not all of it centred around barbie. according to the new yorker the company now has 45 films already in development based on their huge catalog of toy brands. live now to james zahn — he's editor in chief of the toy book — a toy industry magazine. we will come to all the toys that

8:53 pm
but barbie is in really good position this summer because the buses globally is tremendous, and it's crossgenerational, so they are looking to tap into the lifestyle brand of barbie and get the entire family from the tots to the grown—ups to the grandparents that grew up on barbie. i was looking at my list can he missed barney the dinosaur you've missed barney the dinosaur you've missed you know, i thought when i was a set of cards, i don't know how you turn that into a film. there is huge potential here, and clearly mattel sees that. how much pressure do you think there is in the first found out—of—the—box, barbie, how —— does this on have to be a success for the other studios to come in line and say that is worth the money? it line and say that is worth the mone ? , , ., , ., money? it definitely needs to be a success. money? it definitely needs to be a success- and _ money? it definitely needs to be a success. and how _ money? it definitely needs to be a success. and how do _ money? it definitely needs to be a success. and how do you - money? it definitely needs to be a success. and how do you quantifyl success. and how do you quantify that? i think it goes well beyond the box office. it needs to filter down into what is going to happen
8:54 pm
with streaming, what is going to happen notjust in the toy department but also these insularity categories. you've got fashion apparel and all of these things, candies, there is an xbox and all of these different things working together so that you really have to look at the success of the brand as a whole. and once that comes out come of this has been a long time coming. where as some of these other toy companies have been putting out movies, mattel has been working on these for years to the point where a lot of folks, myself included, might questioned, hey, when are we going to see one of these movies? and now we are finally it. if this is big, they have got hot wheels. they've got matchbox, they've got all these big brands, you mention barney, that reboot starts next year. they've got wishbone the dog. there are so many possibilities. wishbone the dog. there are so many possibilities-— possibilities. wishbone the dog in a cinema near— possibilities. wishbone the dog in a cinema near you. _

8:56 pm
and northern ireland. we started the day with rather grey and cloudy skies, like these. and the rain that we had that started on thursday lasted into the first part of friday morning, bringing about a third of a month's worth of rain in places. so it was really quite a wet spell of weather. even as that cleared, there were just one or two showers that followed through through the afternoon. but, generally, the weather at least did turn brighter. further south, across england, wales, different story. lots of sunshine, both morning and afternoon, and blue sunny skies like these in eastbourne were really commonplace. it was also a hot day across parts of eastern england. that's where we had the highest temperatures, with highs hitting the 30 degree mark in london's stjames's park, but 28 there for hull and for cambridge as well. 0vernight tonight, we'll keep those dry weather conditions going for the vast majority of the uk. it's a night where it's going to be quite warm, really, with temperatures for northern ireland, england and wales, about 18—20 degrees for our towns and cities. a bit fresher and more comfortable in scotland. tomorrow, well, it should be a fine
8:57 pm
and certainly start to the day, but showers get going quickly for northern ireland, wales and western england. they'll turn thundery through the morning and then into the afternoon those storms start to leap northwards into northern england and scotland as well, with some really torrential downpours possible. now, in the heaviest of those downpours, we could see around 50 millimetres of rain in the space ofjust a few hours. and that could bring some communities flash flooding, but there'll be others at the same time that completely dodge the rain and stay dry,with sunny weather all day. now, the highest temperature is probably again across eastern england, upper 20s here, but 27 or so for northern scotland, where it's going to be a warmer day overall compared with friday. at the wimbledon tennis championships, yes, you might well see a rain delay. there could be some showers around, but they could turn up just about any time. now, saturday, night—time thunderstorms work across northern england and scotland. lots of thunder and lightning in these still with some hefty downpours, and those storms still around for the first part of sunday clearing northwards out of the way. we might also see some storms come up from france
8:58 pm
to clip eastern england. otherwise, a dry and sunny morning with showers developing from the south and west into the afternoon with a few thunderstorms around. 0verall, temperatures a little bit lower, generally low to mid 20s, and a fresherfeel to the weather as well.
