As far as we know. But the latest news there is thejustice secretary alex chalke has ordered an investigation into how Daniel Khalife managed to escape from prison. Fewer video games were created after the pandemic, but that all changed this year. Blockbuster releases like hogwarts legacy, The Legend Of Zelda and Final Fantasy Xvi Show The Industry is bouncing back. And another big release hits the shelves today, as our Gaming Correspondent Steffan Powell reports. Starfield. A sprawling space epic. Its the Big Hope For Xbox in 2023. Youre part of constellation now. Exclusive to that console, bosses hope it will be popular enough to help them claw back the gap on the Sony Playstation 5, which is outselling the competition. Its notjust how the ship looks. Its the brainchild of todd howard, Game Director of some of the most critically acclaimed titles of recent history skyrim and fallout. Was the game in your head as ambitious as the game has ended up becoming . I always start with a tone. 0k, were going to go out in space. You have a ship you can land on planets, and it has this kind of Science Fiction vibe. And it wasnt till later, after we finished fallout 4, we really start designing where you realise how much you have to design, how much. Space is big . How much space is in space it ended upjust, you know, so much larger than anything we had ever done. And there were periods where youre, are we in over our heads . What do you say to those people that might argue that games have got too big . We found two things. One, they do play it for a really, really long time. But even if they play it, say, for 10 hours or 20 hours and they finish the main quest and they save the world, whatever, that they see all the other choices. That that experience, those 20 hours were different because they had so much choice. Some critics have been impressed by this scope and grandeur. Others have found it a little underwhelming and disjointed. We are not stopping. As an exclusive release, its only available to xbox and pc players. Talking about audiences and who plays your game, do you think there is still a place in the industry for exclusive games like this . When youre making something, the more you can focus, the more you know this is the hardware or the thing people are going to play on, you know, your ability to focus on that always yields a better product. I love this part having spent £5. 5 billion in 2020 on buying the studio that made the game, microsoft is waiting to see if starfield can blast away at playstation� s lead. This is where we belong. Steffan powell, bbc news. Live now to los angeles and taylor lorenz, columnist at the Washington Post covering technology and online culture.

If you look hopeful of revenues being high.

In however long, six months, whatever, can we look back and judge, is this investment in this game, has it paid off . Will it have been worth it . Taste off . Will it have been worth it . We will off . Will it have been worth it . Will certainly know some sales figures from retailers and stuff. If this game flops for microsoft, they have an interest like any company in not necessarily making that very public. They want to position this game as a success, they are talking about it already as a success even though its just launching. About it already as a success even though itsjust launching.

He has been there for a while but we have heard in the last couple of hours, some of the details of the commitment he has promised to ukraine. 1 billion in support, largely military obviously, but also reconstruction, civilian non military support as well. Interestingly, when we cover these visits, Antony Blinken, this isnt his first time, he has been several times. Its interesting to see how the top officials are travelling to the Ukrainian Capital. Just to say, ukraine is the largest country in europe. And therere no civilian flights there, as the airspace is closed. So politicians, even the most high ranked ones, have to follow the same route as thousands of ukrainians do when they return home from abroad. Heres one of the routes. A train from a polish city rzeszow, close to the ukrainian border. And then 700km by rail. This is exactly how blinken was travelling today. As we can see here on his photo. In fact, ukraine has now a small park of carriages re equipped for transporting vip visitors. One of the first Vip Passengers on this route was former uk Prime Minister boris johnson. Here we can see him posing for a photo with Ukrainian Rail staff on board a train. That was in april 2022, less then two months after the russian invasion. Here, already three european leaders travelling to kyiv in one carriage french president emmanuel macron, german chancellor 0laf scholz, and at that time italian Prime Minister mario draghi. That was in june 2022. And american President Biden walking down a train corridor. 0r here, we can see him in a cabin with National Security adviserjake sullivan, as he goes over his speech marking the one Year Anniversary of the war in ukraine in february 2023. Lets bring back our panel. Rebecca harding independent trade economist. Kelly hyman, legal analyst and democratic strategist.

The Security Considerations throughout this whole process have been very, very tight indeed. We were talking about Cyber Warfare earlier, talking about hybrid conflict. 0bviously putting top officials like that on a train is a very risky business. But its the reality of where we are. I think the reality of where we are. I think the most important thing is the fact that, across europe, its completely changed expectations and our understanding of the whole post war era. It is really significant that nato has pulled together so closely, that the european union, the uk, other allies, the United States, have all pulled together around this, and that the security has enabled them to do this, fantastic. Thank you as ever. Back with you in a moment. Around the world and across the uk, this is bbc news. Bbc news, bringing you different stories from across the uk. Come and wash your clothes, dry your clothes, but weve modernised it massively. Music i heard it through the grapevine by marvin gaye. I bet you wonder how i knew. Theres been a big increase, mainly young people with families, and i think a lot of that is to do with the fact that you dont have to have cash to put into the machine. People coming in with lots and lots of washing to do. Doing it in a laundrette, you can put three Washing Machine Fulls in one of these big washes. Half an hour, 40 minutes later, its all done. Dont forget youre i using their machine, their electricity and their water. Most people are on water meters, arent they, these days. 0h, pete, me head, its going round and round and round just looking at it. The laundrette will always.

I was struck by a story in the the floor is yours. I was struck by a story in the news the floor is yours. I was struck by a story in the news today the floor is yours. I was struck by a story in the news today from i a story in the news today from australia about a koala bear called claude. It seemed there was a nursery in New South Wales that was growing eucalyptus saplings. They were disappearing, and this was going on for months. They looked at everything, they looked at the poo the animal was leaving behind, it wasnt a wombat because they are square, and then one morning the owner walked into the nursery to find an absolutely stoned koala so full of eucalyptus it couldnt move, sitting on a pole. It had eaten so much eucalyptus it was absolutely incapable of moving. He took him back into the bush and a couple of days later he came back. Of course there is a serious side to this, koalas are endangered. Its a lovely eye catching story, but they could actually be extinct by 2050 if there is an urgent action. So the nursery was actually trying to cut Plant Saplings in order to get over drought, disease and deforestation, the devastation caused by fires. So actually, the koala was in a way eating its own solution. The serious point is something has to be done because Eucalyptus Trees are disappearing and this heart warming storyjust brings how much climate change, how much ground and devastation is having an impact on the koala bear. {lat devastation is having an impact on the koala bear.

Just before i go, i want to remind you about a developing story out of ukraine over the last couple of hours. You may have seen in the last couple of days, us Secretary Of State Antony Blinken visiting the capital kyiv, and in the last couple of hours we got our first substantial words from him outlining the continued support and fresh support too, here he is meeting his ukrainian counterpart. After these pictures, we heard from him. What commitments did he make . A fresh commitments did he make . A fresh commitment of 1 billion, he went into a bit of detail, breaking that down. The vast majority was military support, but interestingly also civilian support, rebuilding support, support for law and order, various other things. One sentence that stuck out, he said, progress has accelerated in the past few weeks. That was referring to the ukrainian Counter Offensive. That Counter Offensive has been going on for quite some time. It has been slow going, by the admission of all on all sides, really. Slow going, by the admission of all on allsides, really. In slow going, by the admission of all on all sides, really. In terms of the us Secretary Of States comments saying that progress has accelerated in the past few weeks. Plenty more online as always.

Argentina legend lionel messi is the overwhelming favourite to extend his record to eight ballons d0r after winning the world cup. England quartet millie bright, rachel daly, mary earps and Georgia Stanway are among the nominees for the womens ballon d0r, awarded to the best female footballer in 2023.

To golf, and rory mciroy says hes optimitic about europes chances of winning back the ryder cup when they take on the United States in rome later this month. Mcilroy� s not concerned about the absence of liv golf players in the team, insisting new players like swedish youngster ludvig aberg add considerable strength to luke donalds team. From people that have watched him play in the states, he turned pro injune. People who saw him play over there, a few of us were saying it was a no brainer but people hadnt seen him play over here, and then he comes and finishes fourth in czech and then wins in switzerland. I think people here that were maybe a little bit sceptical of it all realised what the hype was all about, and hes an unbelievable player. Probably one of my favourite swings in the world. Once again it was the 0laf Coy Show at the Tour Of Britain as the dutchman won his fourth stage in a row to retain the overall lead. The 21 year old was given the perfect lead out by hisjumbo visma team, allowing him to sprint to victory in newark on trent.
