protests in new delhi today. indiginous leaders say, the women were also gang raped. here is the prime minister speaking earlier. translation: today, my heart is full of pain and anger. - the incident that has come to light in a manner poor in this country, in any corner of this country, in any state government, rising above politics, there is the importance of law and order and respect for women. and i want to assure people that no culprit will be spared. the law, with all its might and strictness, will take steps one by one. whatever has happened with the daughters of manipur will never be forgiven. now we are going to cross live to severyna magill who is a senior human rights lecturer at sheffield hallam university. severyna has also worked in non—governmental organasations in the uk and india.

good evening to you, thank you so much for talking to us. i mean, what's your take on what is clearly a horrific situation?— a horrific situation? unfortunately it's some extreme _ a horrific situation? unfortunately it's some extreme violence, - a horrific situation? unfortunately l it's some extreme violence, sexual violence against women. several times in the recent past, and to try then early in on may, the 4th of may, it's more than a few months old. there were multiple problems coming out in these reports, levels of violence against women in situations, slow responses to those incidents. this situations, slow responses to those incidents. �* , situations, slow responses to those incidents. a . incidents. as you say. the incident we think happen — incidents. as you say. the incident we think happen on _ incidents. as you say. the incident we think happen on bay _ incidents. as you say. the incident we think happen on bay the - incidents. as you say. the incident| we think happen on bay the fourth, only now coming to light because of this video on social media. so far only one arrested, so lots of people

and order, and it's really so that the rates, parading of women, the police report has been filed months ago and yet it's taken another month and in that time crucial dna has been lost and the figures going like wildfire around social media have many many tens of men, one arrest is quite credible so far.

there is a problem where women's bodies are used as weapons of conflict, opposition parties and unfortunately we see that in gangs in london where women are films doing sexual acts, violated, in front of another gang, to rwanda, to everywhere. i think it's perhaps exceptional in terms of its quite recent history that this is being seen and then the responses as well, conflict not really long ago there were many... those men often many men were sent to prison at least early and then they really had... gardens —— garlands of flowers around their necks. conflict motivated sexual violence and this

seems to be a tipping pointjust like... also referred to as india's daughter. in indian culture and anger and it daughter. in indian culture and angerand it did bring daughter. in indian culture and anger and it did bring around several legal changes and the identification and... it's possible that this is... identification and... it's possible that this is. . .— the chinese leader, xijinping, has met the veteran former american secretary of state and national security adviser henry kissinger in beijing. it's more than five decades since mr kissinger�*s secret talks with the communist leadership paved the way for the us and china to re—engage. mr xi told mr kissinger that china would never forget his contribution to restoring ties; he said this had changed the two countries and the world.

mr kissinger — who's a hundred years old and now has no official status — has also met china's top diplomat and defence minister. let's hear from james early, chief investment officer, bbae and china/us relations expert. hello to you, thank you so much for joining us here on the context. really nice to see you. tell me about this meeting. and just how significant it was and the relationships between mr xi and mr kissinger. i relationships between mr xi and mr kissinter. ., ., ., , ., kissinger. i would frame it as a vi . ilante kissinger. i would frame it as a vigilante diplomacy. _ kissinger. i would frame it as a vigilante diplomacy. mr- kissinger. i would frame it as a l vigilante diplomacy. mr kissinger kissinger. i would frame it as a - vigilante diplomacy. mr kissinger is not affiliated with the us government any more any time a 100—year—old man flies across the pacific that's extraordinary. in many ways you could make a case that

china, as it exists today would not exist in the shape and form if it were not for brown work that henry kissinger laid 50 years ago, in a way he is the perfect person to do this. he cares, it comes from his heart, he doesn't have the power to actually negotiate anything but i think what he's doing is trying to open a door. china is at a crossroads right now, in terms of authoritarian and its economy, he really wants to do it in a more peaceful way, really wants to do it in a more peacefulway, he really wants to do it in a more peaceful way, he really believes in that. , �* peaceful way, he really believes in that. , ., , that. this wasn't an official visit on behalf of _ that. this wasn't an official visit on behalf of the _ that. this wasn't an official visit on behalf of the us _ that. this wasn't an official visit. on behalf of the us government, that. this wasn't an official visit - on behalf of the us government, how much do you think president biden would have been aware of this visit before he went, or would he have had a quiet word with mr kissinger, would that have happened? yeah i'm sure he would _ would that have happened? yeah i'm sure he would be _ would that have happened? yeah i'm sure he would be aware, _ would that have happened? yeah i'm sure he would be aware, i— would that have happened? yeah i'm sure he would be aware, i don't- would that have happened? yeah i'm| sure he would be aware, i don't know what it is they spoke, but i would be shocked if they didn't. he knows as well as kissinger knows, kissinger is playing the role of the friend, kind ofjumping in the middle of a relationship spat. it's

easier sometimes for the friend to say things down the two parties do. also refused us overtures for a meeting in singapore, they hit a brick wall there and henry kissinger as a non—governmental person could come in and have that sort of meetings, so it was quite useful for the us, too. meetings, so it was quite useful for the us, too-— meetings, so it was quite useful for the us, too. how would you describe ou as the us, too. how would you describe you as china — the us, too. how would you describe you as china relationships _ the us, too. how would you describe you as china relationships at - the us, too. how would you describe you as china relationships at the - you as china relationships at the moment, and potentially how could a visit from somebody like henry kissinger help its relations? about as cold as l — kissinger help its relations? about as cold as i see _ kissinger help its relations? about as cold as i see as _ kissinger help its relations? about as cold as i see as they _ kissinger help its relations? about as cold as i see as they have - kissinger help its relations? about as cold as i see as they have everl as cold as i see as they have ever been, right now china is having, looking at some disappointing economic news, the covid rebound happen but it was shorter lift than they expected. and at this crossroads they are saying, do week we keep leaning towards authoritarianism as we have been or should we open up? china has professed a lot of negativity toward the us, and in kind ofa professed a lot of negativity toward the us, and in kind of a face or an

optic sense it's difficult for them to acquiesce to foreign —— foreign demands, for kissinger that might be a little bit easier. i think that's what the game here is, unfortunately, i'm thinking maybe he doesn't have the sway he used two, we might get a little bit of optics here, move it a little bit, but i'm not sure it's going to make a huge difference when all is said and done. �* ., , ., , difference when all is said and done. , ., , ., ~ difference when all is said and done. �* ., , ., , ., ~' i., difference when all is said and done. �* ., , ., , ., ~ i., ., done. james early, thank you for s-teakin. around the world and across the uk, this is bbc news. bbc news, bringing you different stories from across the uk. time is ticking on the prime minister's pledge to halve inflation by the end of the year to slow down soaring average prices. when he made that promise, inflation had been at over 10%, so his target is to get it down to around five. richmond in north yorkshire is an historic market town and relies on tourism. with household budgets squeezed, though, are people cutting back on things like mini—breaks and eating out? doesn't seem to be. 24 beds in the hotel. our occupancy levels are anything

between 90—100% most nights, including the weeknights. there is some good news. food prices are not rising quite as fast as they were, but the average grocery shop is still costing significantly more than it did a year ago. and many are wearily wondering when that pressure on household budgets will start to ease. for more stories from across the uk, head to the bbc news website. you're live with bbc news. the iraqi government has ordered the swedish ambassador in baghdad to leave as a diplomatic dispute over the recent burning of the quran in stockholm intensifies. iraq is also withdrawing its charge d'affaires from sweden. overnight, protesters in baghdad stormed the swedish embassy and set a section of it on fire.

the united states has strongly condemned the attack. joining us 110w now is to make three. what do you think about events are happening in sweden and also in baghdad? you know thank ou sweden and also in baghdad? you know thank you for— sweden and also in baghdad? you know thank you for having _ sweden and also in baghdad? you know thank you for having me. _ sweden and also in baghdad? you know thank you for having me. i _ sweden and also in baghdad? you know thank you for having me. i also - thank you for having me. i also happen to be of iraqi origin, so this issue concerns me a great deal. i mean we have yet another example of how extremes in different parts of how extremes in different parts of the world are fuelling each other, nurturing each other and giving each other energy to continue to exist. on one hand we have the far right, men here who are burning the embassy of sweden, trying to provoke the muslim community. living

side by side with other communities. on the other hand you have religious exterior —— extremists in iraq, the opportunity to hit on democratic systems and you have this far right men who are using our democracy, our freedom, ourfree men who are using our democracy, our freedom, our free societies and our democracy and free tools to actually sell even more deviation, so even more polarisation in our society. poisoning the very fundamental principles which one of them is respect for each other. just take us ri . ht respect for each other. just take us right back out _ respect for each other. just take us right back out because _ respect for each other. just take us right back out because obviously i right back out because obviously what's been happening is in iraq the iraqi authorities are giving the green light for these... the man who

stamped on the koran had to get permission from the authorities to do so. what's the thinking behind that and do the authorities have any justification for saying you can't do this, because of what's going to happen? do this, because of what's going to ha en? ., do this, because of what's going to ha. ten? ., 4' ., do this, because of what's going to hat-en? ., ~ ., , , do this, because of what's going to hat-en? ., ~' ., , , ,, , happen? you know because the swedish constitution is — happen? you know because the swedish constitution is very very _ happen? you know because the swedish constitution is very very clear _ happen? you know because the swedish constitution is very very clear on - constitution is very very clear on freedom of expression, both as an organisation as a group of people, also as an individual citizen. so there is no doubt about the freedom of expression, and you're right, the individual to express your free will and your opinion. on the other hand there is also a possibility for the low, to be imprinted according to different kind of factors and aspects. obviously no one has missed the turmoil, the geopolitical sphere around the globe is going through and especially a country like sweden which is also very close to the russian war on ukraine which is

raging, we are in the process of getting membership in nato. so it is a very sensitive time that we are at and that's why i do believe the core, the court that tried the case of giving, not giving the permission to that of burning the holy koran, much more serious duration then what it has done. both the president first and this now, the second imbecile guy, what they're doing is they are damaging us swedish citizens, we are paying our tax dollars for their security, —— tax money, also the security of our diplomatic corpse abroad. so that's

why. .. diplomatic corpse abroad. so that's why... let me also be very very clear. there was nojustification why... let me also be very very clear. there was no justification of what's happened to the swedish embassy in iraq, because that kind of demolition and burning, and act of demolition and burning, and act of violence is totally not acceptable.— of violence is totally not accetable. ~ . fl , , of violence is totally not accetable. ~ ., �*, , , ., acceptable. what's your sense as to wh this acceptable. what's your sense as to why this protest _ acceptable. what's your sense as to why this protest happened? - acceptable. what's your sense as to why this protest happened? are - acceptable. what's your sense as to l why this protest happened? are there issues, are there differences between cultural groups within sweden? but between cultural groups within sweden? �* ., between cultural groups within sweden? ., , ., ., . sweden? but of course, i mean once atain, the sweden? but of course, i mean once again, the extremes _ sweden? but of course, i mean once again, the extremes will— sweden? but of course, i mean once again, the extremes will feed - sweden? but of course, i mean once again, the extremes will feed other. again, the extremes will feed other extremes. and that is what is happening, they are a group in the erect, selling an opportunity to seize that opportunity as an extremist group feeding off the other extreme group here in sweden and showing a bit of power, showing the ones that care most about the

koran, we love our holy koran, but we do not go attack other embassies. we work hard in our society to have societal changes, to be very clear the vast majority of the swedish population here do not agree with these burnings. they are totally against it. even if the law permits it. as peoples, as swedish citizens we do not agree or cheer for these burnings so there is not even an acceptance for that kind of act along —— among the population. ldistill along -- among the population. will have to along —— among the population. will have to leave it there, thank you so much. union leaders say the uk is falling behind in the protection of workers from the effects of artificial intelligence. the trades union congress says that while the european union and other

countries are taking the lead on al regulation, british employment law is not keeping pace. but business leaders are hailing the potential of ai to spur innovation — and improve productivity. our business editor, simonjack, reports. hello, you're through to octopus energy. this is georgie speaking. what can i do to help today? customer service as we know it. and i have the option of generating a reply using ai, so... customer service of the future. artificial intelligence is reading, interpreting and answering customer queries. it's doing the work of 250 employees, and customers seem to like it. an e—mail written by our team members has a 65% satisfaction rating from customers. an e—mail written by ai has an 80% or 85% satisfaction rating. and so what the ai is doing is enabling our team to do a better job of serving customers at a time of great need. can we be realistic and honest about the fact that some jobs are going to go? with economic growth, we'll be creating newjobs all the time, and ai will be enhancing what people can do with those jobs. you know, if we don't

have a dynamic economy or we have cost—cutting companies, there's a risk that huge swathes ofjobs will be replaced by ai. pharmaceutical bosses say ai could unlock a revolution in health care. innovating in biopharma is difficult. it takes sometimes a decade, billions, and it has a 90% failure rate. you know, one in three of us is going to be battling with dementia. there are still many cancers that don't have solutions. there is no doubt that artificial intelligence is going to help us unlock better solutions to these challenges. business leaders are excited that artificial intelligence could mean more innovation, better customer service, more productivity and therefore more profit. they're less keen to talk about what it might do to staff numbers, to workers' rights, which could change faster than people can retrain or new rules of engagement can be written. ai is already influencing our lives, and unions say the uk is falling behind when it comes to protecting workers from al making life—changing decisions on hiring,

firing and working conditions, and they want new safeguards. we do not have any ai—specific legislation. and, increasingly, that is meaning that we are international outliers. workers have to fall back on the existing employment law system, but they do not go anywhere near far enough to meet the really radical changes that al poses in the workplace and in our society as a whole. can i go with you? sure. even the creative arts feel their rights are under attack. actors' voices are being sampled, recreated and used without paying people like laurence. if you want to use our material, you need to be upfront, you need to license it for a short—term, it can't be in perpetuity, and there has to be compensation. if my voice is stolen, if my image is stolen, my career is over. the government told the bbc that al would create new, highly paid jobs, and that it was working

with businesses and regulators to ensure al was used safely and responsibly. simon jack, bbc news. now ijust now i just want to take you to some pictures that are coming from tel aviv. these are life pictures, these are against plans by the government to thejudiciary, this is are against plans by the government to the judiciary, this is the scene, live in tel aviv, as you will be aware. there have been months of protests on issues and clearly they are continuing this evening, we'll bring you more on that as we get it. dojoin me after the break, my panel will be here, we'll be looking in depth of the top stories of

the day here on the context. hello. whilst much of southern europe is still feeling the effect of that intense ongoing heatwave, here in the uk, no sign of any heat in the forecast because things are staying rather cool and unsettled. the next few days bring a few scattered showers but through the weekend it's going to turn increasingly wet and windy for all of us at times. this is the expected rainfall accumulation we are going to see by the time we get to the end of monday, 50—70 millimetres for some areas, so it's going to turn quite soggy particularly through the weekend. back to the here and now and as we head through into the evening, just a few showers around that should mainly fade away, but this zone across parts of central and southern scotland and northern ireland will remain cloudier with a few splashes of rain. now, either side of that there's clearer skies so we are likely to see temperatures getting down into single figures in quite a few places. a fairly fresh start to your friday morning, but some sunshine from the word go away from parts of northern england and northern ireland, where we start off with the cloud

and a few light showers. through the day, as things warm up, sunny spells and scattered showers will tend to bubble up. they will be most frequent for eastern scotland, northern and eastern england as well. further south and west you're more likely to stay dry. a bit of patchy rain at times for northern ireland and temperatures not great, 14—21 degrees, a little below par for this stage injuly. of course, two big sporting fixtures in the north—west of england, the ashes and the golf as well. both of these events could see the chance of a passing shower but it's certainly not going to be a wash—out on friday. overnight into saturday, that's when the cloud thickens, the rain starts to move in from the atlantic, so a milder night for many of us. clearer skies holding on into saturday morning across the north of scotland. but the wind and rain is courtesy of this area of low pressure. it drifts in from the atlantic and spreads its way eastwards through the course of the day. so initially some rain for parts of northern ireland, perhaps wales, northern england too. gales developing down towards the south—west. it will turn windy across all of england and wales in particular. that rain presses its way eastwards gradually through the course of the day. just north of scotland i think

getting away with some drier, sunnier weather, but temperatures only 15—19. feeling cooler when you add on the wind and the rain as well. moving through the second half of the weekend into sunday. low pressure just drifts off towards the east but we still have the tail end of that frontal system, so more showers around for many of us at times on sunday, and it stays unsettled with some sunshine and a scattering of showers into monday too. bye— bye.

hello. you're watching the context on bbc news. british diplomats in russia will be required to give at least five working days' notice of any trips they plan to take outside what's being described as a 120 kilometre, or 75 mile, free movement zone. overnight russian armed forces continued strikes with sea and air base weapons against production and storage sites for unmanned vessels in the odesa region.
