tens of thousands of people with type one diabetes are to be david cameron has called the deaths unacceptable as the israeli ambassador to the uk is summoned. tens of thousands of people with type one diabetes are to be offered a new technology, dubbed an artificial pancreas, to help manage the condition. we'll find out more. and we have the latest as the row between ethiopia and the british museum over stolen artefacts escalates. time for a look at the business news now with lukwesa. tesla shares fell sharply earlier after the company reporting a bigger—than—expected drop in quarterly revenues. the company sold 387,000 cars in the first quarter, down 25% on the last

quarter of 2023. despite that, tesla has reclaimed its position as the world's biggest seller of battery electric cars after its shipments surpassed those of china's byd. 0ur correspondent, erin delmore, is in new york. why are tesla's sales falling so sharply? well, deliveries are reported by tesla, which is how well, deliveries are reported by tesla, which is how we well, deliveries are reported by tesla, which is how we approximate sales. we will hear more on the 23rd of april. let's talk about some of the challenges we know tesla has faced in the first quarter. first is the red sea conflict, which caused shipping to be diverted, causing delay in vehicle parts arriving at factories, resulting in temporary factory shutdowns, particularly one outside of berlin which was hit hard earlier this year. we've also seen an arson attack at a factory in

berlin, causing a temporary pause in production. back in the us, weaker us demand, mixed reviews for the cyber truck, the latest tesla model, and don't forget that higher borrowing costs in the us have led to slowing demand. while tears can usually use incentives like discounts to attract shoppers, those... there has been increased competition from chinese manufacturers, and in response we saw tesla cut production and shorten work schedules in shanghai. are we now in an era where byd and tesla tussling for the top spot? this is something to watch. we know that shares in byd tumbled. top spot goes back to tesla now. it would suggest that we will see the back and forth continue. let's talk about

the things in byd�*s favour. cheap labour, strong government support, and a massive domestic market. byd is another benefit because they make their own batteries and have more flexibility in being able to offer price cuts. we have seen demand is living in the chinese market, which would mean that that tool could become less effective, and we expect demand to soft and as the year goes on. $5 demand to soft and as the year goes on. �* , . ~' demand to soft and as the year goes on. ~ , ., ~ , ., , demand to soft and as the year goes on. ., , . in other news... shares of chinese smartphone maker, xiaomi, surged 15% when the hong kong market opened today. it's the first trading day following the company's launch of its new su7 electric car. xiaomi is pricing it at $4,000 less than tesla s model 3, and claims the new car will have a greater driving range. google has agreed to delete billions of records and submit shares of donald trump's social media company — trump media —

plunged more than 20% on monday. the drop wiped out the gains from its debut last week.it comes after the company disclosed it recorded $58million in losses last year and admitted it would struggle to meet its financial liabilities going forward. forbes has just revealed its latest world billionaires list, a ranking of the world's richest people. at the top, for the second year running, the lvmh boss, bernard arnault, who oversees the luxury french brand louis vuitton. his net worth's understood to have grown 10%, to $233 billion dollars. the forbes list includes a record—breaking 2,781 billionaires — more than ever before. chase peterson—withorn oversaw the compliation of the list. he's forbes senior editor, wealth. and he told me about what's driving

some people's wealth up so fast. it's a banner year for billionaires. as you said, there are more than ever, and they are richer than ever, worth $14.2 trillion, which is $2 trillion more than last year. some of the major trends are that stock markets around the world are up, and these people, by and large, are some of the biggest beneficiaries of the stock market because they own large shares in publicly traded companies around the world. as markets are up, so are the billionaires. you can see that especially in technology. tech stocks are going through the roof, there is a tonne of enthusiasm for al, so we've seen a lot of new billionaires come into the ranks this year who have ai companies or who are using ai in their business, but it is also

really boosting the values of a lot of traditional tech billionaires, people like mark zuckerberg, as well. a banner year for billionaires, especially for anybody who has anything to do with al. so that's the way to do it. centi—billionaires, that is 11 zeros, a dozen digits, if you can even imagine that — what are they doing that is so right and where am i going wrong? right at the top, you have mr louis vuitton. is that correct? that's right, and he is $38 billion ahead of elon musk who is at second place worth $195. elon musk is just barely ahead ofjeff bezos of amazon, at $191; billion. these are people who have created, they are basically all self—made. most of them are involved in tech companies, and they have

held on to a good portion of their ownership. 0k. chase, i need to get this final question very quickly. in compiling the list, was there full transparency, or is this an estimate as it is? it's definitely an estimate. we have definitely seen a lot of balance sheets and tax returns from a lot of people. we dig deep to investigate what is out there publicly, talking to people, including the billionaires, and there are definitely people who are on the list who would rather not be and they hang up the second that we give them a call. but we do everybody a call. it's the latest frontier in tourism — the arctic. this winter, finnish lapland has seen bumper visitor numbers. it's bucking the trend across most of the country that has yet to see tourism fully rebound after the pandemic. adrienne murray has been to the edge of the arctic circle to find out

more about the growing demand for polar travel. with long, dark nights and sub—zero temperatures, this seems an unlikely holiday destination. yet, here at the arctic circle, it's been a bumper tourist season. as a gateway to finnish lapland, last year, rovaniemi welcomed half a million people to this very spot. we wanted to do an arctic circle or like a northern tour, for a very long time. there's an appeal of coming up here when it's snowing and it's cold. we did our research on social media. they share a lot of| stories about here. we saw a lot of posts from santa claus village and it's, like, very romantic and very pretty. the covid pandemic hit tourism hard, but since then not only have visitor numbers bounced back, they've been surging. and the negative temperatures certainly aren't holding people back. tourism is yet to rebound elsewhere in finland, but in lapland, it's a different story —

hitting new highs last year. 0nce popular with chinese tourists, now most visitors come from europe, particularly the uk, france and germany. and most of them head here to rovaniemi, where a doubling of international flight routes has helped tourism take off, sending visitor arrivals and overnight stays up 30%. this season is a record breaker, for sure. we're going to have this full speed until the beginning of april, so the whole winter season will be a record—breaking level. and social media has had huge pulling power. it has changed the structure for tourism, in my mind, because people seek for the most photogenic places and the instagrammable moments, and that draws people to travel. jenny is a tenth generation reindeer herder who began offering tours two years ago. here in lapland, tourists come here to see the northern lights. and reindeers are the other thing also, and the culture. i think that everybody have been

on the beaches and things like that. so now they wanted to see the arctic life. the northern lights are one of the biggest wintertime drawers. this hotel employs a staff member to watch out for the aurora.- the northern lights are one of the biggest wintertime drawers. this hotel employs a staff member to watch out for the aurora.- this kind of arctic destination is trending at the moment. people usually seek something really unique i and different-— and in the local area there is no more than 100 companies offering northern lights tours. but you will also need some luck to see them. that is your look at the business news. around the world and across the uk, this is bbc news.

the israeli prime minister, benjamin netanyahu, has admitted that israeli forces have unintentionally hit innocent people in the gaza strip, in an apparent reference to the killing of seven aid workers for world central kitchen. the us secretary of state antony blinken has called for a swift and independent investigation. those are some of the latest lines on our main story. meanwhile, border communities in israel remain on high alert, worried about the threat of further violence. 0ur international editor, jeremy bowen, has been escorted by the israeli army to an evacuated town on the israel—lebanon border to see damage from hezbollah shelling. spring's coming and the gardens are getting overgrown in these border communities, and that's because no one's been here for six months. 60,000—80,000 evacuated on the israeli side,

and at least that over in lebanon, and the border�*s only a few yards in that direction. in a weird way, at this moment, it feels peaceful, but, you know, that's an illusion because at the moment some very big decisions, i think, are being taken. from the iranian point of view, how do they respond to that assassination in damascus? how many risks are they prepared to take that they might end up in a full—scale war with israel? what would that do to the stability and security of the islamic regime, which is what, on that side, they care about most? here in israel, i think that the military, the government, i think they sense some weakness in the other side. i think they see an opportunity to push, because they know that iran and hezbollah in lebanon do not want to get involved in a full—scale war. they've been sending out those signals very clearly. and i think what israel wants to try to do is to change the game here,

change the security equation, push when they have a chance, and maybe there are people there who are thinking, "well, this is the chance," to push and see if we can change things from the israeli perspective. what does that add up to? insecurity, potential danger — a crossroads, perhaps, in this war. plenty more on that coming up in the next ten or 15 minutes. now to a story that will interest milions of people with type—1 diabetes around the world. patients in england are to be offered a pump that's been called an "artificial pancreas". it can calculate and deliver the correct amount of insulin to patients, using a glucose sensor under the skin. health experts have called it a game changer that reduces the need for injections. here's our health correspondent dominic hughes. i'm just going to pull this down, just do your height. two years ago, we reported on how

six—year—old charlotte was taking part in a trial of a device that could radically change the way she manages her type 1 diabetes. this around yourarm... rather than regular fingerprick tests to check her blood glucose and then injecting insulin, charlotte was using what's known as an artificial pancreas. the device continually monitors a person's blood glucose, then automatically adjusts the amount of insulin given to them through a pump. now, thousands more people will be assessed to see if they, too, can use the pumps, something that experts say will be a game changer. for many people with type 1 diabetes, managing their condition means a lot of thinking of before they do a lot of things, such as eating, such as going for a run. but with this technology, a lot of those day—to—day thinking and working out things will be reduced. more than 300,000 people are living with type 1 diabetes in the uk.

the devices will be rolled out to children and young people under 18 with the condition, as well as pregnant women and those adults with type 1 diabetes who have an elevated blood sugar level. what's my glucose? computer: 0k, viewing. you're 5.9 and steady. i the devices are already available in scotland to some patients, but they don't suit everyone. and nhs bosses have warned of challenges in getting enough supply of the devices, plus the need to train more staff in how to use them. that means it could take five years before everyone eligible has the opportunity to have one. dominic hughes, bbc news. in the british museum, tablets from ethiopian, looted after a battle in 1868, are kept as part of a wider

collection of about 80 items like the ones who are currently seeing. they have long been calls for the collection to return to ethiopia. in 2019, the country's culture minister asked for exactly that on a visit to the museum. now the uk's information watchdog is investigating over claims the museum has failed to disclose key details of internal discussions about efforts in response to a freedom of information request. i've been speaking to lewis mcnaught from returning heritage, a not—for—profit organisation that collates information on cultural restitution. it submitted the freedom of information request. you told me more about these artefacts. this is not a typical collection of looted artefacts. i know everybody has very strong views for or against the return of artefacts, but these objects can and should be returned. they have never been exhibited.

eight of the tablets came in 1868 and have been locked away in a vault in the british museum since then. not only that, the museum has promised never to exhibit them in the future. neither can any study be made of these tabots, nor can any photograph them or copy them. it makes you wonder why they are in a museum in the first place. they can be returned under the existing legislation. unlike other high—profile trophy contested items such as the binning bronzes on the parthenon sculptures —— the benin bronzes. these tablets can be removed today or tomorrow. museum act of 1963 specifically _ removed today or tomorrow. museum act of 1963 specifically bars _ removed today or tomorrow. museum act of 1963 specifically bars the - act of 1963 specifically bars the disposal of objects, except for very limited circumstances. are you saying this falls into that category?—

# you know you make me wanna shout, look, my hand'sjumping # look, my heart's bumping...# 1964, a 15—year—old lulu in the film uk swings again, making a big noise with her first single, shout. # yeah, yeah, yeah...# now, exactly 60 years later, she's about to embark on herfinal ever tour. to be honest with you, if, when i was 15 years old, and i would have — someone would have suggested i'd be doing a farewell tour when i'm 75, i'd have said, "you having a laugh?" how difficult a decision was it? you almost need an army to go on the road, and... i don't want to do it like this any more. # if you wanted the sky, i'd write across the sky... lulu's many achievements includes being the first scottish solo act to have a us number one. # my heart goes boom bang—a—bang, boom bang—a—bang

# when you are near... she also won eurovision. # boom bang—a—bang, loud in my ear... # an assassin that's second to none # the man with the golden gun... and recorded a bond theme. # we—e—e—e—ell... do you ever wish you had an easier signature song? because that is one you have to belt out. with shout you either get # we—e—e—e—ell..." and people try to get it, but as you can see, i can still do it. so why would i think i should have something easier? lots of singers lose the voice over the years, how have you kept yours? i'm very disciplined. i've learned, in fact, to use my vowels and to speak like this, and use the whole range of my voice right down to there and also exercise my voice. high operatic singing.

all that stuff. watch my diet. i exercise, and i don't speak before 12 noon when i'm on tour. # you gotta be strong enough to walk on through the night # there's a new day on the other side... and such has been lulu's longevity that even her number one with take that was 31 years ago. it was an incredible thing. and they were very, very — respectful is the word, i think, because of course they were like in their teens, i think, and i was 40. but i've had many reinventions of my life, and that was a big one. and now we're family. # relight my fire # your love is my only desire... lulu, lovely to speak to you. thanks, nice to speak to you. you ready for the tour? i was born ready. i think that's been said before, but i stole it.

colin patterson, bbc news. there's been a great deal of speculation about when the next general election will be. earlier in the day the prime minister did a round of interviews with our colleagues on bbc local radio. and he's come in for some criticism after he burst out laughing, and more than once, at a question first put to him on bbc tees about when that date might be. here's a little of that exchange. most people got in touch on social media, the overwhelming question was when will there be a general election? laughing: oh, gosh! i have answered that question many times in the last two weeks. can you give us a date? no, unfortunately not. why not? why is that funny, sorry?

why are you laughing about that? the important thing, because there is a way we announce general elections and it would be done in a formal and official way. a busy hour coming up at 5pm. the latest from the middle east after seven aid workers were killed by an israeli air strike. we have heard from benjamin netanyahu, but world leaders and foreign ministers voicing condemnation. we will hear the latest because david cameron has called in israel's ambassador to the foreign office earlier in the day. we will hearfrom foreign office earlier in the day. we will hear from the former foreign office minister alistair burt here at 5pm. the latest on the school shooting in finland. and the type one diabetes story — absolutely fascinating, with new research and technology. we will talk to the doctor behind that research, and also a type one patient. all of that

coming up after the weather details with darren. hello there. there's been a lot of cloud around today and whilst we'll see some sunshine in the next few days, there will be some more rain as well. this is the rainfall accumulation. as you can see, we're all going to get some rain through the rest of this week. the wettest weather over the hills in the west and into central southern scotland. it won't be as wet in the far north of scotland, perhaps, but it's quite cold here. temperatures struggling to around six or seven degrees, whereas with some brighter skies in between the showers in england and wales, 14 or 15 is likely. those showers are going to fade away because we've got this rain coming up from the southwest that's going to head northwards overnight, eventually into southern scotland and northern ireland. some patchy rain further north in scotland as well. so keeping a lot of cloud overnight should keep the temperatures a bit higher than last night, maybe no lower than ten or 11 degrees in the south. we've got that rain heading into northern england, southern scotland and northern ireland. some wet weather for a while here and the rain could be followed by some heavy showers in northern england. the odd shower further south

in england and wales where we're seeing some sunshine around it as well. these are the temperatures. they're not really changing very much, but it's still quite cold across many parts of scotland. and that's because we've got this north easterly wind. but it's south—westerly winds that will bring wet weather in from the south west. again, as we head later on into the week, another area of low pressure moving in, bringing some outbreaks of rain on wednesday night, heading away during thursday. we may see things becoming a bit drier and brighter. hopefully some sunshine around. not too many showers, but more rain arrives again in the southwest during the afternoon. those temperatures reaching 14, perhaps 16 degrees in the southeast of england. still disappointingly chilly in that north easterly wind in scotland. and that's going to be the story through the rest of the week. further south, the winds are more from the southwest, hence the higher temperatures. but we've got all the wet weather coming in from the southwest as well. and by friday, there's another area of low pressure, this one taking more of a northerly track. it will take the wetter weather into scotland and northern ireland.

and for a while there could be some snow over the scottish mountains before temperatures rise. we've got a few showers coming into england and wales. drier further east and not quite as windy, but some gales are likely through the irish sea. temperatures are slowly rising in scotland, higher temperatures in england and wales, but some windy and warm weather for saturday.
