we are racing ahead, building very powerful systems and in the future it will be even more powerful, and we are not sure how to design them so they are aligned with our intentions or values. 50 so they are aligned with our intentions or values.- so they are aligned with our intentions or values. so not all ai scientists agree _ intentions or values. so not all ai scientists agree with _ intentions or values. so not all ai scientists agree with you - intentions or values. so not all ai scientists agree with you in - intentions or values. so not all ai scientists agree with you in that l scientists agree with you in that assessment. is that frustrating? how much of an obstacle is it to getting some kind of common standard? i think there are several good reasons why there were disagreements but the most important is that there is a lot of uncertainty and it is hard to predict how the science will evolve and the misuse people will figure out in coming years. it's hard to predict when ai systems will surpass us in various areas. will it be a few years or a few decades? my perspective is we should just be prudent. it could be five or ten years and we need to prepare right now, to buy an insurance policy to

let's switch focus. republicans lawmakers have chosen congressman mikejohnson as their new speaker of the house. mrjohnson from louisiana won the speakership with 220 votes. he'll fill the speaker's chair that's been vacant since october 3rd, when kevin mccarthy was ousted. johnson is a close ally of former president donald trump. he led an unsuccessful attempt by 126 house republicans to overturn the 2020 presidential election in favour of mr trump. this is what he said earlier. we're going to dispense with all the usual ceremonies and celebrations that traditionally follow a new speakership because we have no time for either one. the american people's business is too urgent in this moment. the hour is late, the crisis is great, and america, we hear you. ukraine has started the forced evacuation of around 1,000 children and their families from two regions in the south

and east of the country, as fighting there intensifies. the order covers parts of kherson and donetsk. similar instructions are already in place in other areas of ukraine. 0ur correspondent, jenny hill, reports from kyiv. the authorities here in ukraine say the situation in some towns and villages close to the front line in the south and east of the country has now become so dangerous that they've ordered and have started the forced evacuation of children from those areas. these forced evacuation orders do come from time to time, particularly when fighting intensifies in certain areas. officials are now going door to door in the 31 settlements in the kherson and don at regions trying to plead parents to flee with her children. they accept the power to force them to go. no child is left alone, no child can go without parents or

legal guardian. we spoke to one of the officials involved who told us that they're showing parents video footage of the aftermath of missile strikes to try to hammer home to these people — some of whom don't want to leave their homes — just how dangerous the situation is. it's not just the risks and the dangers, it's also about the infrastructure of some of these towns and villages. when their strikes, sometimes energy infrastructure is knocked out. it's an extremely uncomfortable place for people to be. that's something else officials are trying to use to persuade them to leave. talking about, it's getting cold here. winter is coming, and of course, the big fear in ukraine is that once again, moscow will target critical infrastructure. overnight, two buildings near a nuclear power plant in the west of the country were damaged in a drone strike. the plant itself wasn't damaged, but still, around 2,000 people had their

electricity cut. president wolinsky very much aware of the turnings of the seasons, has said that this year, ukraine will not only defend itself, but will respond, too. a year on from the deadly crowd crush in south korea, its survivors have told the bbc they are still traumatised and a lack of answers is making it difficult for them to heal. nearly 160 young people were killed, when they got trapped in an overcrowded alleyway in seoul, as they celebrated halloween. despite well—documented failings by the authorities, no—one has been held responsible. our seoul correspondent jean mackenzie reports. do you remember where you were? yeah, it was just here. jukun has returned to the narrow alleyway where she was almost crushed to death. there were people on top of you, trapping your legs. yeah.

it was so painful, yeah. i couldn't move at all, even my fingers. i realised at that time, "oh, i'm going to die." people out to celebrate. halloween funnelled into this alleyway from three directions until it became so tightly packed they couldn't move. some couldn't breathe. the pressure was so great, it ruptured the muscles in dion's the pressure was so great, it ruptured the muscles injookon's legs, paralysing them for months. are you fully recovered now? actually, now i have pain on my knees. it's now well established how the authorities failed to keep people safe that night and save lives. but no—one has been held responsible. trials and investigations are ongoing, leaving thousands still nursing their physical and emotional scars. this is where the dead are remembered. are remembered — a makeshift memorial set up by theirfamilies.

they take it in turns to stand guard in case the authorities follow through on their threat to remove it. payton's teenage son survived the crash, but his best friend and his girlfriend were killed, unable to cope with the trauma. and his girlfriend were killed. unable to cope with the trauma, he then took his own life. this one, yeah. how has it affected you that still, nobody has really taken responsibility for this? translationz. translation: the government and the local authority ultimately failed - in their duty to protect lives. we need to know what happened and who was responsible in order to heal. we have asked the national government, the local government and the police to talk to us, to tell us what lessons they've learnt and how they're going to keep people

safe this halloween, but they've all declined. they've told us that this isn't the right time for them to talk. some new safety measures are being brought in, though this halloween's celebrations are expected to be far quieter. the alleyway is still dormant. a shrine to the dead. reading these messages makes you sad? yeah. butjookun plans to keep returning here. she says she must keep her memories alive untiljustice is served. jean mckenzie, bbc news, seoul. switching focus now. he said "i'll be back" — and now he is, as a life coach. arnold schwarzenegger — hollywood megastar, one time hollywood megastar, one—time politician and seen as the most muscular man in the universe — has written a book, with advice on how to be successful. he's been sharing some of his life experiences with our entertainment correspondent colin paterson.

announcer: ladies and gentlemen, arnold schwarzenegger! _ he was the body—building champion that became a movie star and then the governor of california. let's get to work. but at the age of 76, there is one goal he can't achieve...yet. ifeel like i would make a great president. the problem, he lived in austria until the age of 19, and any us president has to be a natural—born citizen. everything that i've accomplished was because of america, so the only thing that i can't do, which is run for president, i'm not going to complain about that. if the constitution was changed, then schwarzenegger would want to run, but in the meantime, he's been keeping very busy writing be useful, a motivational guide. so many times people read about my successes, but, i mean, on the way to get there, there were tremendous defeats and there were tremendous losses. and even on personal losses, you know — like my marriage,

the mistakes that i've made — you have to recognise those mistakes, you have to be responsible for those mistakes. you cannot go and blame someone else for it. take responsibility, take ownership of those mistakes that you've made, and learn from that and then come back and be a better person. because of the actors�* strike, we can't talk about your movies. does this mean i have to do your catchphrases today? what's the rules there? you can go and say, "get to the chopper!" you can say, "i'll be back." i'll be back. and he was the showman right to the end of the interview. ow, ow, ow, ow! laughter. colin paterson, the strongman of bbc news. wow. arnold schwarzenegger they're speaking to my colleague colin patterson. you can find much more on the bbc

news website. do stay on for more news and updates. thanks very much for watching. hello there. let's take a look at the latest weather for the week ahead. on wednesday, we did have some sunshine around, but it was a very wet start to the day across southern counties of england, particularly through hampshire and the isle of wight. you can see flooded roads there in east cowes on the island, not far from the ferry terminal. and whilst we did have a met office amber warning out for that heavy rain, it was significant. some parts of the island, in knighton, for example, seeing three weeks' worth of october rainfall in just over 12 hours. looking to the next few days, we hold on to this static pattern really, of low pressure systems after low pressure systems bringing outbreaks of rain and their associated weather fronts with the jet stream running to the south of us, directing them towards our shores.

here is thursday. we've got outbreaks of rain from the overnight period working their way northwards towards the north—east of england and across parts of scotland as well. elsewhere through the midlands, in towards wales and the south, some sunshine but also a number of showers. same, too, across parts of northern ireland. temperatures in the south in the mid—teens, coolerfurther north. and then looking into thursday evening, you can see that rain still with us, tracking north in towards parts of the north—east of scotland and certainly across parts of the east and north—east, we could well see the rain totals mounting up as we head through the next few days. elsewhere, it's a little bit drier, but there will be some cloud and some outbreaks of rain. temperatures around 9—10 celsius as the overnight low. to friday, once again, low pressure situated towards the west, sending weather fronts our way. a brisk wind around the south—west through the channel there and across parts of the north—east coast of england and in towards eastern scotland as well, where that rain is set to continue. elsewhere, though, through much

of england and wales, some sunshine, also a number of showers, similar across parts of northern ireland. temperatures once again, 10—12 celsius across scotland, a little bit milderfurther south, in towards the mid—teens. so, saturday, it's a similar picture. we do have low pressure situated towards the west and outbreaks of rain and weather fronts working in from the south across parts of england, in towards wales and northern ireland. for scotland we've got a wind coming in off the north sea, for scotland, we've got a wind coming in off the north sea, quite brisk at times, bringing some cloud and further outbreaks of rain. elsewhere on saturday, we've got some sunshine through parts of the east midlands, in towards east anglia as well, where we'll see temperatures in the mid—teens, perhaps 16 in the london area. on sunday, there's the jet stream once again just running to the south of us and directing areas of low pressure and rain our way. but just look where this weather front is here, because that is the dividing line between some colder air moving in from the north across parts of scotland, milder weather further south. exactly where that weather front is likely to sit could well pose a few issues because along it,

the rain could be heavy and persistent. and if that falls in areas where we've already seen some significant flooding, well, further impacts may well occur. further north, some sunshine, but a cool north wind. further south, it's milder temperatures once again, into the teens. and then beyond that into next week, well, the jet stream is still with us, still feeding in this conveyor belt of areas of low pressure. certainly midweek, that deep area of low pressure could well cause a few issues. but you can see on the outlook there, it is an unsettled picture as we round out the end of october and start november. that's the forecast for now. possibly in the occupied west bank as well, i think hezbollah and lebanon would be the next thing after that. i don't think they'd happen before that. what do you think about the... ..almost, you might say, conspiracy theory

this is bbc news. we will have the headlines at the top of the hour as newsday continued straight after hardtalk. welcome to hardtalk. i'm stephen sackur. in a world not short of geopolitical trouble spots, it is easy to overlook the western balkans. but recent history tells us that would be a mistake. right now, tensions are rising in the balkans. serbia is at odds with its neighbours, most especially kosovo, which belgrade refuses to recognise.

and those tensions do have regional impact. my guest is montenegro's president, jakov milatovic. his country is in nato and he's seeking rapid eu membership. but could regional instability and outside meddling thwart his ambition? presidentjakov milatovic, welcome to hardtalk. thank you for having me. it's a great pleasure to have you. you have made it quite clear your overriding political ambition and aim is to get montenegro into the eu within the next five years.
