and india have set their opponents a huge total of 359 to win. and if india were good with the bat — they've been even better with the ball — sri lanka are 37 for 8 after 1a overs. you can follow that one on the bbc sport website. south africa's rugby team have been given a heroes welcome as they began a four day national victory parade — following their success at the world cup. thousands of fans lined the streets in country's capital city pretoria on thursday — to get glimpse of the team and the webb ellis trophy. the squad — who became the first nation to win the trophy four times — will also travel to see fans in cape town, durban and nelson mandela bay across the next three days. we asa

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 came to scoring. there's been victories for andrey rublev and grigor dimitrov in france — as both players progressed to the quarter finals of the paris masters. meanwhile at the wta finals, ons 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 victims in gaza, who have been caught up in the israel—hamas war. the worst thing is i feel hopeless. i feel like i cannot do anything. the worst thing is i feel hopeless. ifeel 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, iwish doesn't mean anything right now to them. so, i wish forfreedom doesn't mean anything right now to them. so, i wish for freedom for everybody and peace for everyone. for the first time in their 62 year history, the texas rangers are baseball's world series champions. they won their latest match against the arizona diamondbacks 5—0 — to seal the best—of—seven series 4—1. josh sborz with the winning moment for the rangers, while teammate corey seager was named as the world series' most valuable player, an award he also won with the los angeles dodgers in 2020. it really is incredible. but is not just me. what this team did and how

of artificial intelligence—based technology. the two—day conference is being held at bletchley park in buckinghamshire, with 100 world leaders, tech bosses and academics attending. bletchley park was the home of the uk's code—breaking teams during the second world war. these global talks are aimed at building an international consensus on the future of ai. these were leaders from across the world lining up for a family photo at the summit, but some key international figures were missing. germany's 0laf scholtz and emmanuel macron of france are among those who are absent. live now to lewis vaughanjones who is at bletchley park. talk us through the last couple of days. hi talk us through the last couple of da 5. ., ,., ., days. hi there. right now, some of those world — days. hi there. right now, some of those world leaders _ days. hi there. right now, some of those world leaders with _ days. hi there. right now, some of those world leaders with rishi - those world leaders with rishi sunak, the prime minister, are having a couple of sessions, talking about how they're going to co—operate. how are they going to understand the risks of ai and what they are going to do about it. there has been some consensus, that was

announced yesterday. an agreement that 28 nations assigned talking about that need for cooperation and how to harness the benefits of ai that will be coming down the road whilst also trying to get ahead of the game, i suppose, regulation potentially. understanding the real risks of ai. to understand the risks, of course, you need to understand what we are talking about. a quick explanation of what ai is, artificial explanation. here is my colleague. very simply, artificial intelligence is computers working things out in a similar way to the human brain. these tools aren't conscious like we are, but like us, they�* re excellent at spotting patterns. it can be fed huge amounts of information about a particular subject more books than the human could ever read, more than there are in this entire library. and it doesn't have to be words. it could be by rays or data about the weather. and then they're able to identify at lightning speed what should come

next when prompted, like the answer to a question. generative ai is the type of the tech that produces contents like text, pictures, music and video and makes me look like this. absolutely amazing, isn't it, louis? tell me, is this summit going to be considered a success when the doors close? that's a great question. i think, to a certain extent, yes. just by having it and trying to assess and understand what the risks are as a success. in terms of those concrete definite decisions on regulation and then, no. that's in the future. because, of course, this frontier ai as it's being called, some of it doesn't even exist yet. how do you try and deal with some of those risks because make the risks we are

talking about is potentially cyber attacks, bio—terrorism. ai choosing to control itself. these are big, big existential threats to humanity. so you look at other industries, nuclear, aviation. these are industries that do have a degree of global cooperation and regulation. so there will be looking at models that are out there. in the us, a couple of days ago there was an announcement that they want to see big ten companies on al. they want to see the safety modelling and they want to be shown to the us government that the regulations could be coming down the line. lois. could be coming down the line. lois, a lot of peeple _ could be coming down the line. lois, a lot of people often _ could be coming down the line. lois, a lot of people often talk _ could be coming down the line. lois, a lot of people often talk about how there is a fear of ai. what is being done by those within the industry that you've been talking about to reassure people that actually, it's nothing to be worried about. that's

a really interesting _ nothing to be worried about. that's a really interesting point. - nothing to be worried about. that's a really interesting point. i- nothing to be worried about. that's a really interesting point. i had - a really interesting point. i had someone very seniorfrom a really interesting point. i had someone very senior from microsoft here on this very workspace a couple of hours ago saying, we want to be regulated. with the internet, part of the problem was regulation coming afterwards after it had already been all out there. this time, there is an understanding, certainly of what he was telling the earlier and actually, we are not here to mark our own. we want to work with government to understand how this technology could be safe, how it could be harnessed, how it could be fair. there are critics saying, actually, these big existential threats, some of them may not come true. what we should be worried about is more immediate threats, stings like the ai that we use now, there is a potentialfor stings like the ai that we use now, there is a potential for bias stings like the ai that we use now, there is a potentialfor bias in misinformation and messing with elections. these are very real problem is that we are dealing with right now. problem is that we are dealing with riaht now. . ~ problem is that we are dealing with riaht now. ., ~ i. , right now. thank you very much indeed. louis _ right now. thank you very much indeed. louis vaughan - right now. thank you very much indeed. louis vaughan jones i right now. thank you very much | indeed. louis vaughan jones has right now. thank you very much -

# now and then # i miss you. # i miss you. # now and then # now and then # i want you to be there for me #. 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 exposed coastal areas, and some very strong gusts of wind as well. the wind gusts have now eased,

but we recorded 93 mph gusts injersey airport, 78 mph gusts at dover in kent. the winds will ease as we head through the rest of today. that storm pulls out into the north sea. but still some gusts of around 60 to 65 mph possible for exposed coastal areas, especially towards the east. bands of showers and heavy rain swirling around that very deep area of low pressure, as it gradually tracks its way further northwards and eastwards. so the winds easing towards the west but still very strong for the next couple of hours. we are going to see more heavy rain, another a0 to 60 millimetres perhaps, over the higher ground, the pennines. some more rain for eastern scotland, where we have seen the recent flooding, bands of showers again further south. northern ireland, western scotland, not seeing too bad a day. there will even be some sunshine here with temperatures peaking between ten and i2, 13 degrees celsius. still strong winds overnight tonight, across north—east england and eastern scotland. further showers here but gradually, as that low pulls away,

the showers are expected to appear across england and parts of wales as well there will even be some clear spells. temperatures generally low to high single figures. as we head through friday, our area of low pressure is out into the north sea, but we can see the next one approaching from the south and the west. friday is a calmer looking day of weather. we have still got this low out in the north sea. further showers expected for much of eastern scotland and western scotland largely dry. further showers push across much of wales and into the south—west of england again. still a fairly brisk wind blowing behind the area of low pressure. temperatures between 12 and i3 celsius. it is not too long until we see the next low sweeping in from the south—west. that is going to push in as we head through saturday and will affect mostly southern areas of the uk yet again. there are localised weather warnings in force for heavy rain across the south of england, also affecting wales. further north, across northern england, and northern ireland, a little bit of dry weather.

we could again see some rain in north—eastern areas of scotland. goodbye.
