rachel aviv four strangers to ourselves from farrar straus and grow.imothy buse free and direct from columbia. peter brooks first seduced by story from new review books. margo jefferson for constructing a nervous system from pantheon pantheon. and alia tribute goes around for when women kill translate it by sophie hughes from coffeehouse press press. and the winner is timothy buse for free and direct. i'm sorry i missed you on duty. i would just tell you compare. read the citation. bu's groundbreaking work interrogates the boundary, the eroding boundary between reality and fiction, which is culminated a unique type of novel that subverts both the genre and the study of it. by reconsidering the novel not as a form, but as logic free, indirect cast as in organic and autonomous form that acts as subject rather than a vehicle. and at a time when the state of the humanities is being called question, buse proves that literary studies remains a fertile ground for examining both esthetics and human perception. congratulations. something unselfish. i'm. i'm stu

kevin farrar head of sports partnerships at ibm uk.fast coming up. forviewers in the uk, bbc breakfast coming up. for viewers around the world, i will be back with more of the news headlines. thank you for your company on bbc news. hello. after the warmth ofjune, a completely different weather set—up for the start ofjuly. probably summed up best by showing the outlook at wimbledon, of course, which starts on monday. first part of the week, rain at times, not a wash—out by any means, but it's going to feel cool. temperatures below average and a bit breezy at times before things warm up later. and the reason is we've got low pressure centred across scandinavia. we're on the southern edge of it, so winds coming in from the west and north—west, and various banks of rain. and with temperatures dropping compared to what we've seen, probably one of the coolest commutes we've had for a while on monday morning. temperatures for many in single figures. and whilst many start with some sunshine overhead, though, to warm things up, there will be sh

earlier, i spoke to kevin farrar, the head of sport partnerships, ibm uk — the people developing theor the masters earlier in the year. but we have had to take our large language models and train them in the language of tennis, learn the game of tennis through the stats that we are collecting, and then generate this commentary for the highlight reels. tell me a little more... before we talk about the end results, tell me a little more about why you are doing it and how you are actually doing it. you referenced some of the work, but tell me a little more about how you actually do this. so we are using something called ibm watsonx. this is our enterprise ai and data platform. we are training something called a large language model in the language of tennis, the language of wimbledon. specifics like it's the gentlemen's draw, not the men's draw, and teaching it the game. so, what is a forehand, what is a backhand, what is a forced error, what is an unforced error. and also things like the player names. so there is a process of training the model and then tuning the model, and then using

publisher farrar strauss turned it down on the grounds it was too difficult for a trade audience. and my u.k. editor, stuart proffitt penguin, who won't accept the book, wrote that, quote, neo hijacking conclusion is both powerful and persuasive. and my wife, antonia, who's described in the acknowledgments as my in-house editor, but is also a lot more the early 19th century banker thought ann thornton author of a classic work on monetary economic makes an inquiry into the nature and effects of paper money wrote to his sister that working on the book had been a hard fagg. i know the feeling and antonio saw me through many years of hard faxing, which in english means enduring hard work and i was thrilled to be short listed for the hayek prize, but didn't think i had much chance since among the other books on the shortlist was the definitive biography of friedrich hayek by bruce caldwell and are closing as is the case with anyone who is interested himself with hayek in recent years. i owe caldwell a huge debt for his editorship of hayek's works. my introduction to the austrian econom

farrar who c.c.'d dr. fauci and dr. collins. please treat in confidence. a very rough first draft from eddie and the team, they'll send an edited version later. dr. collins replied, thoughtful analysis. and then there's a response that's mostly redacted out, i don't know what that was. have you cleared up that this was not the initial draft of proximal origin, that was response email, followup draft report, whatever you want to call it in response to the phone call that took place on february, on february 1. my question for both of you is, at that particular point, when this information, this draft summary was forwarded to dr. collins and dr. few chi, referencing the phone call you had days earlier, were your conclusions changed? had your hypothesis changed at that particular point? >> let me go back to the ornlal email. there's other sentences in that email that i think is important to, first of all, i say we have a good team lined up to look at very -- very critically at. this we should know much more at the end of the weekend. i also say, what we have t

jeremy farrar. a virologist from the uk, now chief scientist for the w.h.o.. we have learned through a leaked grant application that with u.s. taxpayer backing, the wuhan institute proposed inserting cleavage sites into novel coronaviruses. the same unique genetic aspect of covid-19. we know, according to a state department fact sheet, the multiple researchers at the wuhan institute were sick with covid-19-like symptoms in the fall of 2019. before the chinese officially announced the outbreak. third, concerning the actions of nih and ecohealth alliance, records show the national institute of health, while the u.s. was under a moratorium on function research, exempted ecohealth alliance and the wuhan institute from this very band. records show that the national institute of health allowed ecohealth to conduct risky research on novel coronaviruses at the wuhan institute -- pathogen department review board. records show ecohealth violated federal grant policy, and failed to file on its progress report for more than two years. records show that ecohealth violated

farrar, dr.geary, i believe, were all at some point in time briefing various entities or agencies within the intelligence community about, about this virus. >> one of the things i'm wondering is, you know, we're looking back now, we're realizing that some of these intelligence agencies probably had enough information to to make a solid determination that the most likely came from the lab in wuhan as far back as a year or more ago. my question is, were they sharing this information with these people that were putting out contrary information, that were being propped up as the experts, that were giving us things like proximal origins to completely undermine what i think intelligence agents knew to be the truth a long time ago. and i can ask that because you make, you may have realized, you know, after the fact because i think you had mentioned at one point that even within the intelligence agencies, you as the director e of national intelligence were being kept in the dark on some things or gnat if
