the father of liverpool forward luis diaz has been released by the colombian guerilla group that kidnapped him 13 days ago. luis manuel diaz had been held by members of the national liberation army since being abducted in his home town of barrancas. our correspondent natalie pirks reports. after 13 long days, finally, the images his family were praying for. luis manuel diaz being checked by medics and then walked from a helicopter to walk home after a team, including those from the catholic church, had met with the gorilla group holding him to negotiate his relief. it was almost two weeks ago that luis diaz's parents were kidnapped at gunpoint in a petrol station in baron cass in north—west colombia. his mother was rescued that night, but is father was abducted. police and military

had focused their efforts on hard to search area on the border between venezuela and colombia. the group holding diaz, the national liberation army known as the eln had called his kidnap a mistake and agree to release him, but it wasn't until today that a team met with rebels to bring him home. translation: it rebels to bring him home. translation:— rebels to bring him home. translation: , ., ., ., , translation: it has been an anxious few da 5, translation: it has been an anxious few days. but — translation: it has been an anxious few days. but i _ translation: it has been an anxious few days, but i always _ translation: it has been an anxious few days, but i always had _ translation: it has been an anxious few days, but i always had faith - translation: it has been an anxious few days, but i always had faith in - few days, but i always had faith in god this had to happen in the best way. ourfamily does not god this had to happen in the best way. our family does not deserve an outer edge of such magnitude. for a country while _ outer edge of such magnitude. for a country while boasting _ outer edge of such magnitude. for a country while boasting kidnappings, this story has been big news, not least because it involves a famous player. the colombian government had beenin player. the colombian government had been in the midst of negotiating a road map to peace with the eln. last week and, scoring a crucial goal, luis diaz wanted just one thing, freedom for his father. now finally, he has his wish. well, diaz started for liverpool in their europa league match against toulouse in france, a game that provided them

with their first defeat in the competition this season. liverpool lost 3—2, with a late equaliser ruled out for handball in the build—up to the goal. two other teams had won three out of three prior to today's matches. bayer leverkusen added a fourth victory,1—0 over qarabag, which sends them through. but roma couldn't do the same. they lost 2—0 to slavia prague. brighton completed back—to—back wins over ajax. while west ham vs olympiakos. that is the latest score there. you can see all the scores from the europa league and europa conference league on the bbc sport website. for the fifth time in a row, there's no room for raheem sterling in the england squad. gareth southgate has left out the chelsea forward for the euro qualifiers against malta and north macedonia later this month. newcastle's callum wilson has come back in, and despite being injury doubts, both james maddison and bukayo saka have been included.

and while southgate decided against recalling raheem sterling now, he says that doesn't mean he won't in the future. the door is 100% open not only for raheem but for other players not in the squad, so there is no doubt about that. we don't need to know about his quality, his personality. he is a crucial part of why we have had the journey we have had over the last four years. so i can only repeat what i've said in the last couple of squad selection meetings, the team are really playing well, we had an exceptional win against italy last time around. so who do we leave out? after four straight defeats, new zealand have beaten sri lanka to restore their chances of making the cricket world cup semifinals. they have also improved their net run rate. �* .,

world cup and that is all your sports for now. over the last five days, the israeli forces have provided an evacuation route to allow palestians in northern gaza to flee south, but in the midst of that evacuation today, a furious gun battle broke out around the al quds hospital, where hundreds of palestinians are sheltering. the idf said their special forces were targeting a hamas operations centre, in which the group had planned and prepared the 7th of october attacks. that area, we are told, contains an underground tunnel network, and there was plenty of return fire. drone shots taken at the wadi gaza, halfway down the strip, show an endless stream of people, mostly on foot. some with carts pulled by donkeys heading south. many are holding white flags, a sign of surrender. israel says the exodus will be temporary, but the un estimated today that some 45% of hamas in gaza 45% of hamas in gaza had been destroyed, which suggests that many will have nothing to go back to when this is all over.

1.5 million people have now been displaced. many are living on one meal a day. and still the israeli colonel in charge of liaison with the occupied territories claims there is no humanitarian crisis. we know that the civil situation in the gaza strip is not an easy one. we know that there are a lot of challenges. a lot of difficulties, but i can say that there is no humanitarian crisis in the gaza strip. we are in war. we did not pick up this war. hamas chose to open this war. the white house disagrees. at a briefing this afternoon, the national security council spokesman, john kirby, said that israel will begin implementing four—hour pauses in areas of northern gaza each day, with an announcement to be made three hours beforehand. we've been told by the israelis that there will be no military operations in these areas over the duration of the pause and that

this process will begin today. butjohn kirby does not support calls for a ceasefire. before the war had even started, we have witnessed in the west bank this year some of the worst violence in decades. some of it can certainly be blamed on armed israeli settlers who have attacked palestinians in their own neighbourhoods. at least 176 palestinians have been killed since the start of the war on 7th october. and today israeli forces went intojenin city. the idf said its forces were operating against hamas, and they confiscated weapons. reportedly, at least 14 people were killed in that incursion. joining us from ramallah is the former palestinian authority minister of education and member of fatah central committee, sabri saidam. thank you very much for being with us. what do you know. all from your side about that incursion intojenin city today? side about that incursion into jenin ci toda ? ., city today? good evening to you. certainl , city today? good evening to you. certainly, israel— city today? good evening to you. certainly, israel claimed - city today? good evening to you. certainly, israel claimed to - city today? good evening to you.

certainly, israel claimed to be i certainly, israel claimed to be conducting an operation injenin, only it went massively wrong in a way that 16 people, just to add your information, have been killed. what i saw is the total destruction of infrastructure and the round—up of children in nurseries and nearby schools which actually reflects the deepening crisis in the middle east and the level of hatred the entire scene is embedding through the whole region, which may lead to a total break out of violence and counter violence. the international community ought to intervene now. do you think we are at a tipping point in the west bank?— you think we are at a tipping point in the west bank? indeed, yes, and i hoe in the west bank? indeed, yes, and i ho -e to in the west bank? indeed, yes, and i hepe to ask — in the west bank? indeed, yes, and i hepe to ask your— in the west bank? indeed, yes, and i hope to ask your colleague _ in the west bank? indeed, yes, and i hope to ask your colleague regarding | hope to ask your colleague regarding the state of lawlessness that exists almost in the arab—israeli conflict and i can ensure you that in view of every palestinian goes in favour of believing that netanyahu has bigger

territorial to the extent he wishes to annex not only gaza but the west bank, and once the operation in gaza is finished, netanyahu will turn his back to gaza and will direct his forces towards the west bank. maybe this scenario will be different but it is certainly that territorial appetite that is managing netanyahu's mindset these days. i netanyahu's mindset these days. i wanted to ask you about the statistic from the un, 45% of homes in gaza in their estimates damaged or destroyed. we have seen this picture are palestinians heading south today. paul adams was making the point earlier in the day that for a population that is mostly descended from refugees, and you were displaced in 1948, what the palestinians know as the nakba, this has some terrible echoes for them. do you think the palestinians from northern gaza will ever be able to go back? northern gaza will ever be able to no back? ~ , ., northern gaza will ever be able to no back? ~ i. ._ ., ., go back? well, you may have not visited the _ go back? well, you may have not visited the gaza _ go back? well, you may have not visited the gaza strip, _ go back? well, you may have not visited the gaza strip, but - go back? well, you may have not

you have quite rightly said earlier on, but if they outside —— you have quite rightly said it go on, but if they go back, they would have no homes, where would they go to? so there is huge disappointment, that after 11,000 people killed, 70% of them women and children, and the world still gives the blessing, at least on the official level to israel to do what it does. it is really scary. what happened to humanity? what happened to world ethics? this cannot go on, it is total madness, and if anything, for many palestinians, this is nothing but ethnic cleansing. fist many palestinians, this is nothing but ethnic cleansing.— many palestinians, this is nothing but ethnic cleansing. at the moment, we have this — but ethnic cleansing. at the moment, we have this hostage _ but ethnic cleansing. at the moment, we have this hostage video _ but ethnic cleansing. at the moment, we have this hostage video tonight, l we have this hostage video tonight, senior hamas officials, including the political leader and the former chief that have arrived in cairo today, and this is for a high—level meeting with the egyptian head of general intelligence. what do you think might be happening? what you think might be happening? what you think is about to be discussed in that meeting? to think is about to be discussed in that meeting?— think is about to be discussed in that meeting? think is about to be discussed in that meetin: ? ., , ., , , ., that meeting? to be honest with you,

this madness. netanyahu declared that there is a pause that is four hours long every day and nothing has been changed, the is no humanitarian action whatsoever, because all that you need to see is the continuation of exodus of palestinians from northern gaza to the southern parts of gaza, and by the way, southern parts are not in any way safe and don't believe what he says, what netanyahu says, by declaring this area to be a safe haven. if anything, bombardment is ongoing and in one night, 70% of the bombardment was intensified in the southern parts of gaza. was intensified in the southern parts of gaza-— was intensified in the southern arts of gaza. ., ~ ., parts of gaza. thank you for coming the programme _ parts of gaza. thank you for coming the programme this _ parts of gaza. thank you for coming the programme this evening. - parts of gaza. thank you for coming the programme this evening. thankj the programme this evening. thank you, sabri saidam. around the world and across the uk, this is bbc news. bbc news — bringing you different stories from across the uk. the golden topped tower on the edge

of bath rescued from decay with almost £4 million of heritage lottery money. beckford's tower today is packed up for renovation. but nearby in the grounds, a stone grotto has been excavated. the team have removed almost 100 tonnes of soil to reveal it. most people won't know that this is here, so they'll be able to discover this. they'll be able to visit it when the tower reopens in the spring and they'll be able to come down and see this amazing arch above us. it's so beautifully built. it's a perfect arch with bath stone on the sides of it. but why did the writer and collector william beckford build it? well, beckford was a very private man. he didn't like interacting with the public, so he had a footpath built up to the tower. and by going under the road via this tunnel, he just kept away from the general public. you're watching bbc news.

now, it is time for our our new weekly segment — ai decoded. welcome to ai decoded, our new feature each week in which we will bring you all the news relating to artificial intelligence and hopefully shed some light on what it is all about. each week, we will pick out some of the best stories for you. let me run you through what we are going to talk about tonight. starting with this from the financial times, news today that meta will require political advertisers to disclose whether they have used ai when they post adverts on facebook and instagram. ahead of uk and us elections next year, there are mounting concerns that al technology will bury us under a deluge of misinformation. similar concerns raised by the us committee on oversight and accountability. in this press release this week, they have warned deepfake technology can and will be weaponized. the committee says ai—generated images and videos would be a threat to national security. the wall streetjournal reports that the immense amount of energy

needed to power generative ai models, like the one behind chatgpt, is creating a new market for data centers that will run on alternative energy sources. another story in ft is this — should ai be taking decisions over who is and who is not eligible for a transplant? the article questions whether the algorithms might discriminate on the basis of race, age or previous medical history. and finally this one from the economist, all sorts of worries in hollywood about the changes ai will bring to the industry. but far from diluting star power, the economist says ai will make the big celebrities bigger than ever by allowing them to be in all markets, in all formats, at all times. one person who does not need any more star power is priya lakhani, our ai expert and regular contributor, who co—founded century tech, a company that develops ai—powered learning tools.

nice to see you. can we start then with the story in the financial times? this idea that political adverts could be altered and that those who are placing these adverts will need to advise meta if it is using ai technology. how are they going to do that? this using ai technology. how are they going to do that?— going to do that? this is a really interesting _ going to do that? this is a really interesting story _ going to do that? this is a really interesting story and _ going to do that? this is a really interesting story and i _ going to do that? this is a really interesting story and i think - going to do that? this is a really interesting story and i think it i going to do that? this is a really interesting story and i think it is| interesting story and i think it is actually about meta preventing their own ai technology being responsible or potentially liable for spreading disinformation when we have elections coming up next year, in so many regions and places. but it is also about meta saying look, they are well aware from historical news, not so long ago, when there have been election about fake news and disinformation being spread across their platforms. what they are saying is that if you use artificial intelligence tools to change what somebody is potentially saying, to depict a real person is saying something when they are actually not. if you're using ai

something when they are actually not. if you're using al to develop, we have all seen ai images being created, with some of the new tools, if you're using these to depict a real —looking person saying or doing something, you are not allowed to do that. what you do, you can't use their tools to do that but you can use other ai tools to do so, but if you do so, you need to label them and say when you are creating those sort of adverts. i'm not sure that will satisfy everyone, because i think some people say, hang on, if you're using ai in essentially putting words in someone's mouth when they didn't actually say those, does it matter if it is labelled or not, because there is potentially some damage that can be done. what are so fascinating about this for me is that this is actually the convergence of two different types of ai, if you like, in the last year, christian, we have seen chatgpt, mid—journey, these technologies that generate media. they generate new media, new content ijy they generate new media, new content by using artificial intelligence, and then we have facebook, we have instagram, where it is incredible

the amount of usage that these particular technologies get. so in just one minute, there will be hundreds of thousands of stories shared on instagram every minute of the day. these technologies use persuasive recommendation engines, so you know how this convergence, of the recommendation engine giving people more and more of what they like to stay engaged, and the potential bad actors creating and generating media that is then being sent to you because they know if you'd like. they know you like that sort of material. and meta are saying as long as that is labelled, thatis saying as long as that is labelled, that is ok to be advertised on our platform. you can see how that would satisfy most people. 50. platform. you can see how that would satisfy most people.— satisfy most people. so, the committee _ satisfy most people. so, the committee that _ satisfy most people. so, the committee that was - satisfy most people. so, the committee that was talking l satisfy most people. so, the - committee that was talking about that this week. —— that won't satisfy. this is the second story kind of i line to that financial times story. they are saying that other ai can be used effectively to make people appear to say things they haven't said or done. it can be used to perpetrate various crimes including financial fraud or

intellectual property rights. looking at that, i think the danger is that if you don't get on top of this, we will never separate truth from fiction. there is almost a live dividend for people greeting the stuff, and we may not believe what they are creating, but bit of delusions under the stuff, it won't add you look at all the real stuff, because we won't be able to interpret what is real. —— if the deluge is under the stuff. find interpret what is real. -- if the deluge is under the stuff. and that is what i'm — deluge is under the stuff. and that is what i'm concerned _ deluge is under the stuff. and that is what i'm concerned about, - deluge is under the stuff. and that is what i'm concerned about, the l is what i'm concerned about, the erosion of trust that underpins a democracy. we have already seen that in the middle east crisis that is happening at the moment where people are looking at real authentic images of what is going on in israel, in gaza, and then saying that is fake news. that is not true. it is those images, those videos are authentic. so you end up potentially in a world where you don't know who to trust, and you don't know what you trust, and you don't know what you trust, and obviously, that is what the bad actors want. and that greed is an enormous amount of chaos in that particular news release that you were talking about. —— that creates

an enormous amount. this congresswoman talked about a deep fate of president zelensky asking his troops to put their weapons down. you can understand how bad this is for national security and how it can create chaos. —— they talked about a deepkfake. we saw the conference at bletchley house and you sort president biden saying that they need to come up with guidelines when it comes to deepfakes. it a lot more needs to be done because imagine if you have an image and it is a video clip of the political rival and it is a campaign to try to discredit them. once that campaign goes viral, despite the fact that may have a label on it, it could already have some influence, and you know that elections can be decided in the final days of the campaign, so you're absolutely right. we do need to get on of this, but is

meta's response good enough, i think that'll be the main question people are asking, and it is notjust meta, it is all of the platforms out there. there's plenty of where some of these policies that they create don't actually work in practice. lets rattle through some of these other stories, and this one in the wall streetjournal grabs my wall street journal grabs my attention. i wall streetjournal grabs my attention. i will be dry these ai systems? web read the energy for its? it reminds me of the story we had recently about bitcoin mining and the amount of energy it was soaking up. —— how will we drive these ai systems? what they were saying in the article is that some of these ai companies with such a thirst for energy will be looking at alternative energy sources. you might die like this article because there are many in a furtive and positive use as intelligence. the problem is that data centres are critical infra structure that underpins artificial intelligence and they are energy intensive. —— many innovative and positive. so we

need to meet the demands of the ai requires. it centres are estimated to account for about 1% of global energy use which is a lot, and as this increases, this increased use of generative ai could consume up to 3.5% of the board's electricity by 2030. the reason i like the story is because it is about innovation. it is about a company using essentially flared gas, which is burned natural gas, and they are using that you essentially process that into electricity that empowers data centres, and you are actually seeing that companies like amazon, like microsoft, the big players as well as some of the medium—sized players are all investing in renewable energy, and the question is, are you investing in that to add to the fossil fuel that you are essentially burning, orare fossil fuel that you are essentially burning, or are you investing fossil fuel that you are essentially burning, orare you investing in fossil fuel that you are essentially burning, or are you investing in it to replace that? and i think that is the big question for climate change activists. it is a great story of innovation.—

innovation. just finally on the sto , innovation. just finally on the story. but — innovation. just finally on the story. but open _ innovation. just finally on the story, but open ai _ innovation. just finally on the story, but open ai ceo - innovation. just finally on the story, but open ai ceo sam l innovation. just finally on the - story, but open ai ceo sam altman is a tree look to invest in a nuclear fission start—up. he said that the ai systems of the future will need tremendous energy and this fission and fusion can help drive them. they are driving the search for alternative energies. let's talk about this other story in the financial times, looking at all the good uses for al, but they have this worrying story about this patient with cystic fibrosis who needed a liver transplant and they say that the scoring algorithm which decides who gets a transplant and who doesn't is biased. should we be concerned about that? you might guess, we should be concerned about this, and just for viewers, we are talking about classical ai, so not the new generative ai that everyone is talking about in the last year. yum! i guess we should, it is a fundamental concern. there is a very famous phrase that is garbage in, garbage out. if famous phrase that is garbage in, garbage out-— garbage out. if you are building algorithms _ garbage out. if you are building algorithms and _ garbage out. if you are building algorithms and using _ garbage out. if you are building algorithms and using data - garbage out. if you are building algorithms and using data and. garbage out. if you are building i algorithms and using data and the data is garbage, what you get out is

not something you want. this is a story that raises a lot of examples. it is written by a fabulous journalist from the financial times and she not only talks about this technology that is being used to determine who gets a liver, and well done, kudos to the family who have investigated it, because i don't know if it would have come to light otherwise. at other areas, for example, in 2019, a talk about research as that found an algorithm used by hospitals that help 70 million americans but it prioritises health in white patients over black patients. so when we are thinking about artificial intelligence, we have to remember it is all data, it is maths, so what data is being fed into that system in order to give you that output? it reminds me of the really horrible story with the department for education in the uk using an algorithm that is not even ai, that was actually creating biased results, if you like, pull students based on their postcode and their schools.

students based on their postcode and theirschools. —— students based on their postcode and their schools. —— for students. this is all about what are you using and what is the transparency behind that system that lily was at issue in this case as well. they should be transparent and that should be explainable and in some cases, one might say that... sorry. i explainable and in some cases, one might say that. .. sorry.— might say that... sorry. i wish we could might say that. .. sorry. i wish we could talk— might say that... sorry. i wish we could talk more _ might say that... sorry. i wish we could talk more about _ might say that... sorry. i wish we could talk more about it - might say that... sorry. i wish we could talk more about it but i might say that... sorry. i wish we could talk more about it but we . might say that... sorry. i wish we i could talk more about it but we are out of time. we have to go to a break but we will do this again same time next week. thank you very much. hello. there've been no shortage of big shower clouds out there today. some really hefty downpours, as you can see from the earlier satellite picture. the speckled shower clouds racing in from the atlantic, all circulating around an area of low pressure. that low sticking with us through tonight and into tomorrow, so there will be further showers. some clear spells between the showers overnight tonight, but this clump of showery rain will move away from the republic of ireland and then into wales, parts of the midlands, the south—west of england. by the end of the night, the winds will strengthen

here as well, so it will be mild across this south—west corner. eight degrees for plymouth, but the northern half of the uk will get quite cold. some parts of scotland, —3, —4 celsius, so frost and fog for some. into friday, low pressure still with us. with the isobars squeezing together first thing in the south—west corner, we could see a spell of gales for exposed parts of south—west england and the channel islands as this clutch of heavy, thundery downpours moves out of wales and the midlands and down into southern counties of england. that should then clear during the morning. behind that, some sunny spells, but with the winds turning more northerly, that'll focus the showers into areas exposed to the wind. so the north coast of northern ireland, north wales, merseyside, eastern parts of england and perhaps most especially northern scotland by the end of the day, that's where we'll see the bulk of the showers. temperatures of 7—12 degrees. as this area of low pressure rolls away eastwards into the start of saturday,

we see this brief window of mainly fine weather. light winds, so some fog patches around on saturday morning, a frost for some. but then, actually, this looks like the driest and brightest day of the weekend. very few showers, a little bit of sunshine, temperatures generally between 6—12 degrees. could be a little bit colder than that if mist and murk lingers for any length of time. now, as we head into saturday night, one frontal system tries to push in from the south—west, but then breaks apart. it will provide some extra moisture, though, to give rise to some quite widespread mist and fog, i think, on sunday morning, and some of that could be really slow to clear. it could be quite a murky day. the further north and east you are, a decent chance of staying dry. further south and west, it looks like we'll see rain moving in from the atlantic, but it will start to turn a bit milder down towards the south—west and the channel islands. so to sum things up for this weekend, saturday looks mostly dry, sunday will bring rain for some. and overnight, we will see some frost and some fog.

hello, i am christian fraser. you are watching the context on bbc news. our top story this evening — rishi sunak is facing calls to sack his home secretary after she accused london's metropolitan police of "playing favourites" with protesters. suella braverman's comments in an article for the times newspaper were not signed off by number 10, and she ignored ammendments they'd sent to her. she accused the commissioner of the metropolitan police of being more lenient with left—wingers when it comes to keeping order at public demonstrations. she described pro—palestinian protests as "hate marches". "an assertion of primacy by certain groups," she wrote, "particularly islamists, of the kind we are more used

to seeing in northern ireland." our political editor chris mason says the prime minister has a decision to make. firstly, there is that whole issue of the home secretary undermining the boss, so step away from politics and the home secretary and downing street spokesmen and all that kind of stuff. put it in your own world. if you went to work and you chose to undermine the boss, then you did undermine the boss, then you publicly humiliated the boss, would it leave your job security prospects enhanced or diminished? i don't really need to answer that question. then there's the separate issue, connected though, which is the whole thing around what she said in this article, the language in this article. ms braverman's leadership ambitions are no secret, and the battle for the future direction of the conservative party is thought by many already well under way. in fact, some question whether she is pushing to be sacked. ms braverman's language was at odds

with the prime minister's statement on wednesday.
