thereby have been using satellite to track where israeli forces are. ester track where israeli forces are. ever since the israeli _ track where israeli forces are. ever since the israeli military _ track where israeli forces are. es: since the israeli military started the ground operation last week bbc verified but looking at satellite imagery trying to figure out how father is in advance what that means for the war. first let's take a step back. this is the gaza strip, one of the most densely populated on earth but to point million people crammed into this narrow coastal script. we're focusing on the northern part of gaza to see exactly how far the israeli forces admitted to advance. let's look at this satellite image. this is taken from the 26th of october, before the idf started 0ctober, before the idf started their military advance into gaza. we can pair this with the most recent satellite imagery and the shot, it's open source which means everyone of the world can look at it. we've identified these four locations for that as you can see these red

circles and these are signs of israeli advances. we will focus on the specific won in the southeast. here is before the military operation. focus in on the site here, that is the border of the gaza strip. if you come with me here you can see this is what it looks like after the military operation. the image translation is poor so what we're looking at here are these tank tracks here of what we think are signs of israeli advancement into the gaza strip. again, look at before, those lines going into the gaza strip are not there. and that's the headway that the israeli troops have made from the east into the strip. we asked the military expert what these images show.— what these images show. satellite ima . es what these images show. satellite images appeared _ what these images show. satellite images appeared to _ what these images show. satellite images appeared to show - what these images show. satellite images appeared to show two - what these images show. satellite i images appeared to show two things. one is— images appeared to show two things. one is that _ images appeared to show two things. one is that the israelis are cutting 0ne is that the israelis are cutting across— one is that the israelis are cutting across the — one is that the israelis are cutting across the gaza strip to isolate the northern _ across the gaza strip to isolate the northern portion. they are occupying

send us instruction to move ahead to the crossing border and move to egypt. until now it has been two days since the border has been open forforeign nationals to move out days since the border has been open for foreign nationals to move out of the gaza strip. the situation there is chaotic a little bed. it needs time for the people to go out. horse time for the people to go out. how stressful is — time for the people to go out. how stressful is it _ time for the people to go out. how stressful is it to _ time for the people to go out. how stressful is it to work _ time for the people to go out. how stressful is it to work out what is actually going on? i want to list, not on a list? filtrate actually going on? i want to list, not on a list?— actually going on? i want to list, not on a list? we hope we're on a list. the communication - not on a list? we hope we're on a list. the communication between | not on a list? we hope we're on a i list. the communication between us and the foreign office that all of us, 16 of us will move out of gaza. but until now there is no fact. and there is a real list with our names on it telling us to go to the border, that will be the leave of

homes have lost power. hundreds of schools have been closed as a precaution along with several airports. let's get a flavour of what is been happening. 0ur correspondent is in jersey with the latest. t correspondent is in 'ersey with the latest. ., ., , ., correspondent is in 'ersey with the latest. ., ., ., ., latest. i want to show you one of the main routes _ latest. i want to show you one of the main routes to _ latest. i want to show you one of the main routes to the _ latest. i want to show you one of the main routes to the west - latest. i want to show you one of the main routes to the west of i the main routes to the west of the island. this is a perfect example of the damage the storm has caused without you see lots of trees which are followed overnight making it difficult for vehicles to get through. a few are attempting but as the advice remains a stay at home it's a lot quieter than usual. we see someone trying to get through there. what we're also seeing is some of the drains block. you could see behind me the water piling up because of leaves. that is a big concern, the next flooding in the islands and we have seen that in the last few months in jersey. this islands and we have seen that in the last few months injersey. this is really about that clear up operation now. we had winds of around 102

miles per hours at 5am this morning. the peak of the storm has passed and the weather has died down. what we're seeing now is the follow. dozen of islanders being evacuated, road blockages and the island is still in a standstill state. schools are closed today, they still could be closed tomorrow. a decision has yet to be made. we've also got hospitals closed and people are being asked to stay at home. this is really a question of the fallout and what happens next.— what happens next. let's take a moment to _ what happens next. let's take a moment to share _ what happens next. let's take a moment to share just _ what happens next. let's take a moment to share just some - what happens next. let's take a moment to share just some of. what happens next. let's take a i moment to share just some of the pictures of this storm affecting other parts of the uk. this is suffolk, that made it look like a river running across the street two screen but watch for the car trying to drive through. it becomes clear it is actually a road. those pictures and suffolk. this is the

coastline in cornwall being battered by the waves with up around 180 reports of fallen trees, the breeze and blocked drains. the council said it is a significant event, that's how they described it. pictures filmed in somerset, it is clear that the ground simply cannot absorb any more water, creating lakes in the fields. just a few of the pictures from around the country as it's been affected and battered by that storm. here in the uk, the first global summit on al safety is drawing to a close — after a group of political and tech leaders came to bletchley park, to talk about the potential dangers posed by artificial intelligence. the gathering has already agreed there's a need for co—ordinated international action — today it's been looking at ways of dealing with what the tech entrepreneur elon musk descibed as an 'existential risk�* to humanity. live now to lewis vaughanjones

who is at bletchley park. please take us through what has been agreed. thank you, significant and concrete agreement being touted by the prime minister rishi sunak welcome, no stranger to being on the cutting edge of technology. this welcome, no stranger to being on the cutting edge of technology.— cutting edge of technology. this is at the heart _ cutting edge of technology. this is at the heart of _ cutting edge of technology. this is at the heart of the _ cutting edge of technology. this is at the heart of the birth _ cutting edge of technology. this is at the heart of the birth of- cutting edge of technology. this isj at the heart of the birth of modern computing. thisjust at the heart of the birth of modern computing. this just to explain an role of code breakers crucial in changing the course of world war ii. according to the prime minister rishi sunak the world again is on the brink of a key moment. he quoted stephen hawking in his speechjust an hour or so stephen hawking in his speechjust an hour orso ago, stephen hawking in his speechjust an hour or so ago, talking about al being in the best of the worst thing to happen to humanity. the efforts here clearly are to make it the best rather than the worst. in terms of concrete

proposals we've now heard from the prime minister. 0ne proposals we've now heard from the prime minister. one of them is around tech companies themselves. at the moment they effectively mark their own homework, they come up with development and decide for themselves whether to release it or not. rishi sunak says that's going to change. until now the only people testing the safety have been the company is developing it. that must change. so building on the g7 hiroshima process in the global partnership on a side like minded governments and ai government had today reached a landmark agreement. we will work to gather on testing the safety of new ai models before they are released. this partnership is based around a series of principles, which set out the responsibilities we share. it's made possible by the decision i have taken along with vice president kamala harris for the british and

american governments to establish world leading ai safety institutes. with the public sector capability to test the most advanced frontier models. in that spirit i very much welcome the agreement of the companies here today to deepen the privileged access that the uk has to their models. in privileged access that the uk has to their models-— their models. in that speech rishi sunak named _ their models. in that speech rishi sunak named one _ their models. in that speech rishi sunak named one person - their models. in that speech rishi sunak named one person in - sunak named one person in particular, a gentleman considered one of the godfathers of ai. he's got a lead a international body of report. a couple of hours ago and not particularly nice weather out there i grabbed a word with him. take a listen. this summit is very important. we're at the cusp of bringing very powerful machines in the world and we need to make sure that they are not just useful the world and we need to make sure that they are notjust useful but also safe. i really appreciate and have a lot of gratitude that the uk

government has been leading that effort and bringing so many governments around the table, including china but also a lot of other nations that are playing a big role in al. they also people like the secretary—general, the voices of developing countries are so important here. so we all get a better understanding, especially governments of the risks so we can work to mitigate them. fince governments of the risks so we can work to mitigate them.— work to mitigate them. once those wrists are understood, _ work to mitigate them. once those wrists are understood, how - work to mitigate them. once those wrists are understood, how do - work to mitigate them. once those wrists are understood, how do you | wrists are understood, how do you mitigate them, what needs to happen? part of the problem is that we don't understand the risks sufficiently. and so the idea of the institute that the government has proposed is really the central, saying the us government is proposing something similar. we need to invest in research so we can make sure that the ai systems behave is we intend for that right now this is not the case. 50

for that right now this is not the case. , ., ., , case. so investigating that safety research, understand _ case. so investigating that safety research, understand that, - case. so investigating that safety research, understand that, what| research, understand that, what about global regulation or global standards of practice? horas about global regulation or global standards of practice?— about global regulation or global standards of practice? how do you do that? this is — standards of practice? how do you do that? this is very _ standards of practice? how do you do that? this is very important - standards of practice? how do you do that? this is very important because | that? this is very important because ai does no border. we have the internet, as you know. we need to make sure that as many countries as possible but right now especially those producing these large frontier ai systems follow similar rules. we can't wait for a treaty that's going to take ten years to happen but we can have national regulations that are coordinated. this is also going to be good for business. what are coordinated. this is also going to be good for business. what about caettin into to be good for business. what about getting into the _ to be good for business. what about getting into the hands _ to be good for business. what about getting into the hands of _ to be good for business. what about getting into the hands of bad - getting into the hands of bad actors, how worried are you that we have this advanced technology and bad actors get their hands on a? t’m bad actors get their hands on a? i'm very aware — bad actors get their hands on a? trn very aware that in the coming years this is my biggest concern, we need to make sure that these biggest systems in the wrong hands can be dangerous. be secured. that means also that we don't share them with everyone. 0nly maybe with scientists

who can try to find fault in them. and we develop systems that even when we deploy them will not be easily used by these bad actors. what about those big tech companies that will be developing big ai products? how do you feel about the approach that they carry out the safety checks, they share those results? or like pharmaceutical industries as registration, certification, are those the kind of models you want to see? yes. first we need registration. _ models you want to see? yes. first we need registration. governmentsj we need registration. governments and the public wants to know who is building these larger systems that could be dangerous. that's obvious we need to do that. also companies need to do their homework in demonstrating that there systems are safe. according to the standards that governments need to agree upon. for example to protect the public against cyber attacks, disinformation and things like this.

so you can hear, just listening to that there are plenty of challenges. thank you very much. that is it from today's verified live for the seo at the same time tomorrow. hello there, good afternoon. damage and destruction caused by storm ciaran tracking eastwards across the southern half of the uk, dangerously large waves in many of storm ciaran, which has been sweeping eastwards affecting mainly southern areas of the uk today with record low pressure for november, coastal overtopping, very large waves. strong gusts of wind too, particularly for the channel islands, 93mph gusts recorded earlier on this morning atjersey airport. 78mph gusts of wind in dover and kent. of course, the storm has now eased and the center of the low pressure associated with it will be out into the north sea as we head through tonight. still bands of showers and longer spells of rain swirl around this low pressure. still strong, gusty winds for a time too for eastern scotland and north—east england.

here we will see some more showers throughout the night. elsewhere, a few showers, particularly for northern ireland, but some clear spells, as well. temperatures down to between four and eight degrees celsius. tomorrow will be a calmer looking day. the low continues to spin its way further northwards and eastwards. there is another area of low pressure that's going to be with us from the south—west on friday night into saturday. for most of us it's a calmer looking day on friday. still strong, gusty winds, gusting as high as 45 to 50mph for eastern scotland, north—east england. perhaps still some more showers here falling on saturated ground could cause some more issues as the total start to mount up. another rash of showers too for northern ireland, western wales and for south—west england. elsewhere, largely dry some sunny spells, temperatures ten to 1a degrees celsius north to south. on friday night into saturday we look out towards the south—west again, with another deep area of low pressure approaching. again, it's set to affect mostly southern areas of the uk,

southern england and parts of south wales with heavy downpours of rain on saturday morning. pushing northwards, weakening, but some more showers following on in its wake. across northern england, northern ireland and for much of scotland away from the far north it should be largely drag in. the winds are set to pick up towards channel coasts, but not as windy as it was earlier on today with the storm. as we head through saturday night, that area of low pressure again pushes out into the north sea. we develop more of a north—westerly wind, so the focus of the showers on sunday will tend to be out towards the north and the west. for most of us, it should feel a little drier, a little cooler and there will be some sunshine, i think, for much of the second half of the weekend, so a calmer picture. bye— bye.

at 6:00pm, wind gusts of more than 100 miles an hour as storm ciaran sweeps in across the channel. buildings blown over, walls knocked down. thousands are now without power and travel disruption is severe.
