8:03 pm
military and civilian security systems, in total be committed 43 billion in security system since the beginning of the russian aggression. since i was last here almost exactly one year ago ukrainian forces have taken back more than 50% of the territory seized by russian forces in 2022, in the ongoing counteroffensive, this has accelerated in the past few weeks, and there is no assistance will help to sustain it and build further momentum. —— this further assistance will help to sustain it. maria zolkina is a research fellow at london school of economics and a head of regional security and conflict studies at the think tank democratic initiatives foundation, and shejoins us now. we have just heard from antony blinken. more commitment of money and support. what do you make of it? it is a cultural signal for and support. what do you make of it? it is a cultural signalfor ukraine because there are talks about what is next, about the ongoing
8:04 pm
counteroffensive and some kind of behind closed doors manoeuvres to reopen for negotiations with russia at some point and this is a significant signal towards all of those going into negotiations that military support for ukraine to make russia withdrawal orjust leave the ukraine occupied territory this support is going to be continued. it is crucial because we know that next year is an important year politically in some other important western partners of ukraine. that messa . e western partners of ukraine. that message of— western partners of ukraine. that message of support _ western partners of ukraine. that message of support is the importance of these visits. it is not the first time and you could argue why not make this commitmentjust over a phone call, in a press release, you think it is important that he physically is in the capital, kyiv, to show that.— physically is in the capital, kyiv, to show that. ., ., , ., to show that. there are a number of issues of bilateral _

8:06 pm
fear, that nato membership of ukraine might be somehow used in order to restart at some point, maybe not now but later, negotiations with russia and i think both of the topics are important to have a conversation behind closed doors and speak privately. i have a conversation behind closed doors and speak privately.- have a conversation behind closed doors and speak privately. i want to ick u- doors and speak privately. i want to pick up one — doors and speak privately. i want to pick up one line _ doors and speak privately. i want to pick up one line in _ doors and speak privately. i want to pick up one line in particular. - pick up one line in particular. antony blinken said progress has accelerated in the past few weeks, talking about the ukrainian counteroffensive. i wonder how much we can read into that. is he reflecting what we have seen, a few advancesin reflecting what we have seen, a few advances in the south near the zaporizhzhia region, and those exercises in removing minds, or should be read a bit more into that? we will be reading more into that and find out, especially in the east of ukraine, but what do we know exactly, yes, it is reflecting what is going on in the south because now
8:07 pm
the ukrainians have actually finally broken the one of the most significant lines of defence with russia with the mines and now there are a lot of expectations among the european —— ukrainian forces, having accessed towards the construction, destruction of other defence lines, these developments in zaporizhzhia are pushing back their developments in the east, and the very east, and a kharkiv angle has regions are for our special attention and i would encourage you to follow that in the following days. —— the kharkiv and luhansk regions. an exclusive interview with the ukrainian security service. how it's using artificial intelligence and drones. 0ur security correspondent gordon corera reports from kyiv. alongside trenches and artillery, ukraine's war has
8:08 pm
been one of drones and hackers. and that's led ukraine's security service — to move its teams to the front lines. here, they direct a kamikaze drone to strike a camera being used to track ukrainian troop movements. in an exclusive interview, the man in charge of cyber security and technology for the security service reveals they also hack into russian cameras to collect intelligence. using artificial intelligence, we penetrate their surveillance cameras on the occupied territories, and we understand the movement of the troops, this information being analysed, and we understand which type of military and weapons they are about to use, and what direction. the security service also uses artificial intelligence to track down those responsible for war crimes like here in bucha. we use artificial intelligence, as well. facial recognition, yes. so we get the information from cameras, from pictures, and then we understand who was exactly guilty
8:09 pm
in different war crimes conducted by russian troops — who was the possible spotter, who was the possible traitor? and this is also a usage of artificial intelligence, and we have thousands of people that we've found exactly who they were. technology has been at the heart of this conflict from the start. in the opening days of the war, russian missiles hit kyiv�*s main tv tower. translation: last year, the russians attacked this tower. they were trying to deprive ukrainians of access to truthful information, and destroy the infrastructure. the missile attack was accompanied by a cyber attack on the same facility. since then, as victor zora — the man in charge of cyber defence — shows me, the pace of cyber attacks has been relentless. so these are serious incidents here. what is rated high and critical. but it's every day, you're facing... every day. ..something's happening. yeah. you don't have any days off. we don't have days off.
8:10 pm
it's often said that wars spur on innovation, and this conflict has been no exception. what we've seen here in ukraine is an incredible pace by which new technologies have been adopted. nowhere has the pace of innovation been clearer than drones. in a location we've been asked to keep secret, operators are taught not so much how to fly the drones, as how to stay alive themselves. risks are increasing as they move closer to the fighting. right now, the distance is getting shorter and shorter and shorter because of enemies jamming systems. hackers and drone operators are now on the front lines, with both sides knowing that technology could give them a vital edge in a hard—fought war. gordon corera, bbc news, ukraine. joining me now is drjames rogers, senior fellow at cornell tech policy institute. thank you for coming on the programme. thank you for coming on the programme-— thank you for coming on the rouramme. ., ~ i. ., .,

8:20 pm
conservative government for the way it has been running things but, secondly, to try to pin that very directly on rishi sunak and decisions that he made when he was chancellor of the exchequer, spending decisions, three years ago, and what has been argued over was was he presented with a plan to refurbish more schools and did he not agree to that. that sort of thing. and then to expand that attack do notjust mr sunak back to tie him into decisions made by conservative governments going back as far as 2010. we have heard sir keir starmer saying, the inevitable result of 13 years of cutting corners and botched jobs. we had later in another commons debate are labour mps think that this is a fitting metaphorfor labour mps think that this is a fitting metaphor for conservative rule, britain is falling apart, we
8:21 pm
need nothing short of a national renewal. that is going to be the labour party theme as we head towards an election likely to be about this time next year. from the government side, what we heard was mr sunak trying to fend that off by saying, no, this is only a small proportion of schools and trying to say that he and his government took quick action once the severity of the problem was recognised. the difficulty they have with that is this question that this issue has been around for two decades at least and labour want to say there was a school building programme that was cancelled, the government say that well, that was a labour programme which was not delivering value for money. it is somewhere, where the opposition see real political mileage they can make. {jut opposition see real political mileage they can make. out in the real world. — mileage they can make. out in the realworld. in _ mileage they can make. out in the real world, in the _ mileage they can make. out in the real world, in the schools - real world, in the schools themselves, this is having a significant impact for pupils who

8:23 pm
issues. that is thousands of pupils affected. 0ne issues. that is thousands of pupils affected. one thing the government has expressed frustration about is that it said it sent out questionnaires to schools to get them to identify and they need to respond, saying do they have this full day concrete in their buildings. and some have not replied —— this faulty concrete. the reply has been from the schools that they are trying to tackle the crisis and this is an extra thing on top that head teachers are struggling with as they are trying to deal with all of these problems, so not happy on that side either about how they see the government managing the crisis. taste government managing the crisis. we are expecting an update about horizon, the eu flagship science research scheme. what is the update we are potentially expecting? this is this huge _ we are potentially expecting? this is this huge eu — we are potentially expecting? try 3 is this huge eu run science research collaboration scheme where countries around the eu and beyond pool money
8:24 pm
and it unites researchers around europe and other countries. the uk used to be part of it, when it left the eu, it left that scheme. what was negotiated at the time was that the uk would go back in, but that was all put on hold because of the arguments about northern ireland and the way that the uk was implementing or not implementing the deals there. that issue in northern ireland was fixed earlier in the year. now, on the back of that, this issue appears to be fixed so what we are expecting, to see coming, is that there will be an announcement of the uk going back in, the uk having negotiated some sort of special provisions as well. we will wait to see what those are. but it is a big sort of plus or uk universities and science institutions, many of which have been really sort of urgently calling on the government to do this deal so that they can get back into

8:26 pm
so a few misty, murky patches as you start your thursday morning. but it is going to be a really warm, sticky, humid—feeling night, perhaps not dropping below around 20 degrees in the south—west. so tomorrow then we have got that threat of one or two isolated showers around some of these irish sea coasts, perhaps pembrokeshire, up towards northern ireland, for instance. the cloud and fog around eastern scotland and northeast england should burn back towards the coast gradually through the day. but temperatures again well above average, the mid to high 20s for most of us, 30 degrees or so once again for london and the southeast on thursday. and then we do it all again for friday. so again, we've got a bit of low cloud that lingers in the east but slowly clears. and the threat of a few more showers around some of these irish sea coasts with a bit of low cloud there. but in between blue sky, warm sunshine, we could see a bit of a drop in air quality, though, over the next few days. but again, those temperatures are reaching the high 20s or low
8:27 pm
30s, well above average. now, a slight change as we head into saturday, as we start to see frontal systems trying to move in from the northwest. so perhaps a bit breezier with a bit more cloud and the odd shower for northern ireland and the west of scotland. further south and east it stays hot and dry once again with temperatures building. look at that, 32 degrees or so but do bear in mind could be a bit of pollution and poor air quality trapped underneath that high pressure. now head into sunday then and these fronts just start to topple in across the north west of the uk trying to move southeast into monday. so eventually into next week they'll bring some slightly cooler, fresh conditions with a few showers but still some sunshine. certainly the next few days in the south, particularly, looking very hot. bye— bye.
