sport and for a full round—up, from the bbc sport centre, here's ollie. india have become the first team to qualify for the cricket world cup semi finals — and they've done it in emphatic style. batting first, they set sri lanka 358 to win. and their opponents never got close — bowled out forjust 55, losing by 302 runs. mohammed shami finishing with five wickets forjust 18 runs — as sri lanka were restricted to the fourth lowest total in world cup history.

that is very important. yeah, i'm grateful to this today. south africa have started a four—day victory parade after their triumph at the rugby world cup. thousands of fans lined the streets in the capital city pretoria to get glimpse of the team and the webb ellis trophy. the springboks are the first nation to win the world cup four times — they will also take the trophy to cape town, durban and nelson mandela bay over the next three days. we as a team, we chose to dedicate this world cup to you because you, honestly, you are the reason we are where we are today. the way that you don't give up, with how hard you work.

the things that you went through to be what you are in life, your support really kept us going. the referee in the world cup final, wayne barnes, has retired from the sport. he took charge of his first match in 2006 and the paris final was his 111th test which is a record. he officiated in five world cups and numerous domestic and european finals. jannik sinner has withdrawn from the paris masters because of fatigue — after winning his second round match in the early hours of thursday morning. sinner didn't get on court until after midnight — and was due to be back in action on thursday evening. meanwhile at the wta finals, 0ns jabeur got revenge for her wimbledon final defeat — by beating marketa vondrousova in straight sets — and post match she revealed she'll be donating some of her prize money to help palestinians amid

the ongoing israel—gaza conflict. the worst thing is i feel hopeless. i feel like i cannot do anything. i wish i could have a magic hand and just peace for everyone. but it's frustrating and, honestly, may be donating some money will help a little bit with what they've been going through. but i know money doesn't mean anything right now to them. so, i wish for freedom for everybody and peace for everyone. jon rahm has had a change of heart and now won't take part in a new golf venture being launched by tiger woods and rory mcilroy in the new year. the masters champion says ' it would require a level the masters champion says "it would require a level of commitment i can't offer."

the 2a player league will be staged indoors and be partly played on high tech golf simulators. 0ther backers include serena and venus williams, nba star steph curry and liverpool owners the fenway sports group and that's all the sport for now. welcome back. there were deaths from storm ciaran in france, belgium. hundreds of schools closed in southern england as well where the environment agency urged people to prepare for possible significant inland flooding. dan johnson spent the day injersey and sent us this report. just look at the state of it. trees down, roof tiles everywhere, cars smashed, gardens blown to pieces. but then there are the houses. people's homes. we thought these seafront flats had been abandoned

after being torn apart, but then we heard the voice of bob, sheltering beneath the ruins of his neighbour's home. my word! 12 o'clock, we hear this mighty bang. it's just devastating. you can see around here, look, everything went. i've never seen anything like it. it was so scary, it was really loud. really loud. next door, lorraine was assessing the damage to her house and herself. i got some cuts here. it's just crazy. what are you going to do now? no idea. i'm going to go to my sister's and try and relax a bit because i'm a bit shaky at the moment. that's a wall that's blown down. i think this is worse than people expected. we're right on the seafront here, it's very exposed and these properties have been really badly damaged. it's not clear if or when people will be able to repair them or return at all. a couple of streets further back it is, in some ways, even worse.

not just slates off, but entire roofs. people here believe they were hit by a tornado. we were just settling down, getting the kids ready for bed, then we heard that massive... and seen the black just come towards us. it was petrifying, it was horrible, i've never experienced anything like that in my life. within seconds itjust ripped through the estate. the noise was out of this world. the winds reached 100mph, forcing families to evacuate. watch this mum's reaction to nature's sudden power. ijust knew i needed to get out. yeah, it was pretty scary. it's quite a hard watch to look back on. just knowing what could have happened if i wasn't in the room with her at the time. with boarded—up windows, you are going to live here? yeah. here's some hardy islander resolve after the most frightening night of mags' life. i was too scared to stay in the bedroom.

the kitchen was the safest place, to be honest. i was just sat in the kitchen chair. i haven't had a wink of sleep yet. i felt desperate, to be honest. this is only a small part of the island, but this neighbourhood's been turned literally upside down and it will take a lot to put it back together again. dan johnson, bbc news, jersey. the back end of that storm now hitting southern parts of england, there is more on the bbc website including these warnings and advisories, so do take a look at bbc online. around the world and across the uk. this is bbc news. bbc news — bringing you different stories from across the uk. more than 4000 poppies cascading at the potteries museum and art gallery in hanley, each one handmade. the display has been created by the let's make jam wi branch from newcastle.

we range from ages to the forties to this noughties every decade. and they're knitted, they're crocheted. there's felt, all sorts. and then we come up with a design and then we assemble it accordingly. and there's absolutely thousands in it. the poppies are being displayed over the city's spitfire. the aircraft was designed by rj mitchell, who was born in north staffordshire. of course, during world war two, the spitfire became emblematic of the allies' fighting spirit. the swathe of poppies will stay on display until remembrance sunday, honouring both the service of veterans and the city's history. for more stories from across the uk, head to the bbc news website. you're live with bbc news. it is time for our new weekly segment? ai decoded. there's no better week to begin a segment on artificial intelligence,

than a week in which the world came together to understand what it truly is. around 100 world leaders, tech bosses, and academics have been meeting these past two days at bletchley park, and judging by the reams of column inches the summit generated this week, there is clearly huge interest in what it is capable of, where it is taking us, and just as importantly how we control it! let me take you through some of the reaction in today's papers. the financial times lauds the new bletchley declaration signed yesterday by 28 countries, including china. the paper says that commitment must deliver a path forward that ensures ai is used in a "human?centric, trustworthy and responsible" way. the times, though, picks up on a piece of research that underpins why the guardrails will be necessary. a group of scientists revealed that with a few simple tweaks to the ai code at meta, the system was more than happy to instruct them on how you would go about building a bio?weapon based on the 1918 spanish flu pandemic. the guardian picks up on the meeting tonight

between rishi sunak and elon musk. the world's richest man and tesla chief executive elon musk who co?founded 0penai the company that developed chatgpt. it was musk who recently described ai as "one of the biggest threats to humanity". and on the bbc news website, a poem created by chatgpt which was written in honour of the veteran code—breaker betty webb, now 100, who worked on alan turing's team at bletchley park to crack german codes during world war two. we will look a little deeper at those stories in a second, but lets begin with that chat between rishi sunak and elon musk tonight. luckily for us, priya lakhani who founded the ai platform, century tech, is at bletchley tonight. she will be on stage introducing the prime minister. she's also going to be one of our regular experts in this slot. and a short time ago she sent us something from the venue. i'm priya lakhani, founder and ceo of the ai education company, century tech. i'm in stjames' in london, where i'm following the inaugural ai

safety summit which took place over the last two days. i'll be introducing prime minister rishi sunak and elon musk on stage shortly. i'm aware they'll be discussing a broad range of issues from al, and the wider technology landscape, to opportunities in economic growth and productivity. a little later this evening, i'm going tojoin christian on the show and give you the lowdown of what was discussed. as you heard there, we will speak to priya later in the programme and bring you some of the best bits of that discussion. but here to take us through some of the big developments this week is dr stephanie hare, she is a tech and ai writer, author of technology is not neutral: a short guide to technology ethics. great to see you, stephanie. can we start with the declaration? what is it, and how open do you think this discussion going forward is going to be?— is going to be? well, there's so much to stay. _ is going to be? well, there's so much to stay, so _ is going to be? well, there's so much to stay, so where - is going to be? well, there's so. much to stay, so where to start? is going to be? well, there's so - much to stay, so where to start? the first that we've just concluded the two day summit at bletchley park. 28

countries signed this declaration. what does that mean? it's a declaration of intent. it's not legislation, it's not regulation, it's not binding. what it is, is an intention to work together, to test ai models, to report on national security risks and other types of risks, to create some ai safety institutes here in the uk and over institutes here in the uk and over in the united states as well, we're going to work with singapore, and to have some more summits. the next one is going to be in south korea in six months�* time, and then the next one in french six months later down the line. d0 in french six months later down the line. , ., in french six months later down the line. ,, ~' line. do you think it will define the guardrails, _ line. do you think it will define the guardrails, will— line. do you think it will define the guardrails, will there - line. do you think it will define the guardrails, will there be i line. do you think it will define | the guardrails, will there be an international standard for how to control ai? i international standard for how to control ai?— international standard for how to control al?— control ai? i think the use of the word guardrails _ control ai? i think the use of the word guardrails that _ control ai? i think the use of the word guardrails that you - control ai? i think the use of the word guardrails that you just - word guardrails that you just highlighted is really interesting. we use the word guardrails when we are not talking about laws. when we are not talking about laws. when we are not talking about laws. when we are not talking about regulation. so we are talking about voluntary

commitments, companies agree to share their models with the government, only the government of the united states and the united kingdom at the moment it should be said, i don�*t know how comforting thatis said, i don�*t know how comforting that is for everybody else around the world. it�*s only these eight companies. 0ther the world. it�*s only these eight companies. other ones, maybe not so sure. we are not sure what china�*s companies is doing. it�*s all great, but it�*s not the sort of thing that should make everybody sleep peacefully in their beds tonight, thinking oh, we solved the risk of artificial intelligence. we haven�*t. we�*ve gotten some progress but there�*s a lot more to do. we've gotten some progress but there's a lot more to do.- there's a lot more to do. stories like the ones _ there's a lot more to do. stories like the ones in _ there's a lot more to do. stories like the ones in the _ there's a lot more to do. stories like the ones in the times - there's a lot more to do. stories like the ones in the times today j like the ones in the times today that will probably alarm people. the information scientists were seeking was for a bio weapon. in general, stephanie, scientists would lean towards open source software, what the scientists are saying is that the scientists are saying is that the source code of the big ai systems has to be secure and secret. can you explain why they think that is so important?—

is so important? yes, so this is a raauin is so important? yes, so this is a raging debate — is so important? yes, so this is a raging debate within _ is so important? yes, so this is a raging debate within the - is so important? yes, so this is a raging debate within the ai - raging debate within the ai community. should we allow for source code such as being able to literally open up a company�*s code which they might consider to be an intellectual property and thus a trade secret so it can be evaluated and maybe even shared notjust with governments but with the external auditors, with other researchers, or if that will actually give power to potential bad actors. in other words, does it make a safer, or does it make us more at risk? there is no clear consensus on that, i can�*t give you any closure on that question tonight. we�*re still debating it, some of the greatest minds in the fields completely disagree. minds in the fields completely disa . ree. ., minds in the fields completely disarree. ., , , disagree. the thing that stuff with me, disagree. the thing that stuff with me. stephanie. — disagree. the thing that stuff with me, stephanie, is _ disagree. the thing that stuff with me, stephanie, is this _ disagree. the thing that stuff with me, stephanie, is this line - disagree. the thing that stuff with me, stephanie, is this line from l disagree. the thing that stuff with l me, stephanie, is this line from the scientists that the cost of making the meta— system of course runs into the meta— system of course runs into the millions of dollars. —— meta.

control such a thing, but we can aspire to guide it in a direction thatis aspire to guide it in a direction that is beneficial to humanity. the prime minister had a session today with companies like open ai. that seems to be the way that the americans are leading with his executive order that president biden signed on monday. do those solutions reassure you? it signed on monday. do those solutions reassure you?— reassure you? it reassures me that we are talking — reassure you? it reassures me that we are talking about _ reassure you? it reassures me that we are talking about it _ reassure you? it reassures me that we are talking about it openly - reassure you? it reassures me that we are talking about it openly and. we are talking about it openly and that so many countries are coming together and we are having a chat about it on the news right now, because none of this was the case even six months ago and definitely not a year ago. so progress has been made, but again, the united states kind of crashed the party yesterday when vice president kamala harris announced all sorts of initiatives including the creation of a and ai safety institute and the united states. that�*s backed by something by something called the nist. that�*s underfunded, it only has 20

employees. for something that is supposed to keep us all safe, that�*s not very inspiring, so we�*ll need to see a lot of money, a lot of people and we are going to need to see legislation. even president biden has says what is happened in the last couple of days is just a step, congress needs to act. the european union is getting ready to act, china has already acted. the uk on the other hand has said it has no intent of rushing towards regulation. what the american _ of rushing towards regulation. what the american say _ of rushing towards regulation. what the american say is _ of rushing towards regulation. what the american say is we _ of rushing towards regulation. what the american say is we need to pre—the systems. it seems to me, and l, pre—the systems. it seems to me, and i, i'm pre—the systems. it seems to me, and i, i�*m the ignoramus here, but it seems to me that these machines are going to develop and grow exponentially, they�*ll become smarter over the time. the pretesting is only a snapshot in time. it doesn�*t necessarily relate to where the systems are going, does it? it to where the systems are going, does it? ., , �* ., ., it? it doesn't relate to where the 're it? it doesn't relate to where they're going. _ it? it doesn't relate to where they're going, and _ it? it doesn't relate to where they're going, and also - it? it doesn't relate to where l they're going, and also doesn't they�*re going, and also doesn�*t acknowledge the fact that so many of these systems are already out and about right now, making decisions and disturbing algorithmic harms to people right now. ai is being used

in the british civil service, it�*s being used in the united states by the government, it�*s being used by companies. most of us are on the receiving end of ai and don�*t even know that. that�*s a problem for democracy, it�*s also a problem when were looking at elections, when looking at misinformation, deep fakes, and all that. it�*s notjust these big models that are coming down the pipe over the next 18, 20 months. it�*s what�*s already happening. there�*s two type of risks, there is future risk and then there is now risk. this risks, there is future risk and then there is now risk.— risks, there is future risk and then there is now risk. this is probably, as ou there is now risk. this is probably, as you say. _ there is now risk. this is probably, as you say. the — there is now risk. this is probably, as you say, the most _ there is now risk. this is probably, as you say, the most defining - there is now risk. this is probably, - as you say, the most defining moment in technology since 1940, the development of alan turing�*s machine, the forerunner to modern computing. so it is perhaps only right that the new technology is created and owed to the god mother, betty webb. she worked at bletchley park, the poem was written by chet b

are suffering, shaking the foundations of prosperity. there is a correction happening and there is definitely a marked slowdown at the moment within the industry without a doubt. the industry is a bellwether because once you have bought your house and the people moving in, they buy carpets, they buy food from the local shops, they buy petrol, they drive here, it drives the local economy. and the structure of future house—building plans could also be shaken as the industry reacts to its own higher borrowing costs and weaker demand. unless confidence returns, developers will not borrow money from the banks because they need to know for certain the houses will sell and if they are not going to they will not do it. i have a penny—saving challenge... fewer new homes will not help ebony trying despite higher rates and rent to save for her first home.

it feels like a mountain gets bigger constantly. i am putting in and you have to take out because of more expenses, so you cannot put as much in. it has been a hard slog for borrowers. interest rates, the red line, have been increased 14 times by the bank of england since 2021 in a bid to lower inflation, the blue line — that�*s still high, but it takes time for rates to work through curbing spending. the bank may feel it has done enough. the bank has to weigh up the impact on the economy and it now thinks that is basically flatlining and will continue to do so into 2025. it�*s subdued, we see the evidence that monetary policy and the rate rises we have done are having an effect, we think it is coming through in the profile of growth. stubborn inflation pours pain onto households, constructing a defence against it is not easy. the bank has indicated interest rates may stay high for a while.

almost 2 million homeowners are due to remortgage by the end of 2024, facing higher repayments. for builders and borrowers, the heavy lifting is not over yet. dharshini david, bbc news. fires caused by batteries overheating on e? bikes are happening overheating on e—bikes are happening on average every two days in london alone — that�*s according to the fire service. we have been speaking to one man whose girlfriend and two children all died after his e—bike caught fire as it was charging at their home in cambridge. he has been telling his story for the first time to our correspondent tim muffet. i screamed, "gemma, the kids, pass me the kids!" and i heard a voice from her saying, "i can�*t get out." injune, scott bought a replacement battery online for his e—bike. my bike was spitting out flames. i proceeded to jump out of the window to try and fight the fire, while my missus was sorting the kids

and the two dogs out. badly burned, with a broken ankle, scott was taken to hospital and placed in an induced coma for four weeks. my mum and my dad broke the news to me. and, yeah, i lost my girlfriend, my son, my daughter, and our two dogs. lithium—ion batteries contain a large amount of energy in a small space. but this is thermal runaway, demonstrated in a lab. if a cell in a faulty battery heats up uncontrollably, a devastating chain reaction can follow. this incident happened in illingworth in west yorkshire in february, when an electric motorbike was left on charge overnight. screaming. i came out of that house with nothing. there needs to be a law about buying second—hand batteries. they need to be checked, motd,

because you don�*t want to be the next person that has to go through what i�*ve just gone through. goodman, that is a warning to all of us. we are going to go to a short broke, out panel of course coming. we�*ll talk about all the issues in the middle east and also may be focusing on that chat tonight between elon musk and rishi sunak. elizabeth has the weather for us. hello there. good evening. damage and plenty of disruption following on in the wake 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. 93 mph gusts recorded earlier on this morning atjersey airport. 78 mph gusts of wind in dover and kent. but, of course, the storm has now eased, and the centre of the low pressure associated with it will be out into the north sea as we head through tonight.

but still bands of showers, 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 4—8 degrees celsius. now, tomorrow will be a calmer—looking day. the low continues to spin its way further northwards and eastwards, but there�*s another area of low pressure that�*s going to be with us from the south—west on friday night into saturday. but for most of us, it�*s a calmer—looking day on friday. still strong, gusty winds, gusting as high as 45—50 mph for eastern scotland, north—east england. perhaps still some more showers here falling on saturated ground could cause some more issues, perhaps as the totals start to mount up. another rash of showers, too, for northern ireland, western wales and for south—west england. elsewhere, largely dry with some sunny spells. temperatures 10—14 degrees celsius north to south. now, 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 dry. and 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.

hello, i�*m christian fraser, and this is the context. translation: i call on all civilians to get out, get out, _ move south because we will not quit our effort to eliminate the hamas terrorists. we will advance.

we will advance and win. translation: idf soldiers have completed the encirclement - of the city of gaza, the centre of the hamas terror organisation. how israel does this matters. we will focus as well on steps that need to be taken to protect - civilians who are in a crossfire of hamas's making. _ the situation is very chaotic and unpredictable. we are here in rafah waiting for the foreign office to send us the clear instructions to move ahead to the crossing border. people here, when i ask anybody around khan younis and around the middle area, they are saying that no place is safe. the israeli prime minister, benjamin netanyahu, says his troops are at "the height of battle"

in their ground operation in gaza, but pressure mounting on president biden
