Pilots and aircrew will be trained to deal with turbulence. This sounds like a severe incidence of turbulence. Normally, you would be told to fasten your seat belts for safety reasons. In fact, generally, the advice is that it is reckoned recommended to keep to keep your seat belt fastened for the whole flight. It was just over 11 hours into the journey, flight. It was just over 11 hours into thejourney, people flight.

The first one to go through it, it can be a difficult situation, and it sounds like it was here. Lots of people have been injured and it looks like a frightening situation. When you look at the pictures you get a sense of the force of the. In terms of how much the plane drops in turbulence, it can be huge amounts, cant it, in terms of the impact of the passengers inside . If impact of the passengers inside . It can be if you hit an air pocket. We are still establishing what exact flea went on. But a large drop that passengers felt was a direct result of hitting the tablet saw the pilot reacting.

The uk government has in the past few hours set out details of the infected blood Compensation Scheme. The Cabinet Office Ministerjohn Glen said those directly or indirectly affected would receive compensation. 30,000 people were infected with hepatitis and hiv while receiving nhs treatment between the 1970s and 1990s and 3,000 have since died. Yesterday, a Public Inquiry said victims were repeatedly failed, with evidence of a cover up. Heres our Health Correspondent dominic hughes. Very good of you to join us. I know you had a big day yesterday. Thank you for having us. It has been a significant 2a hours for those lives who have been touched by the infected blood scandal. The publication of sir brian langstaff� s report was surrounded by high emotion. Now the focus moves to what real action the government will take, particularly the Compensation Deal and what it signifies for those like jade, whose dad paul was one of those infected. I think for me it symbolises the acknowledgement and recognition, of course, and the justice, and also the opportunities lost, that everyone has lost throughout their lives, the infected and the affected, and it also represents the lives that were lost, first and foremost, and the wrongs that were done. As a sibling who has lost a sibling, there are parts of my life i will never have that i was expecting to have in terms of being able to recall those memories of childhood that| only your sibling can do. And i dont think money can replace that. But it certainly helps to feel that its recognised as an impact to all the people that were affected. There have been some limited financial for Support Schemes for those caught up in the infected blood scandal. So far, 4,000 survivors and bereaved relatives have already been paid an interim amount of £100,000. But a final Compensation Scheme for all those affected, including family members, has not yet been agreed. It is thought the final cost could total £10 billion, maybe more. Its notjust the harm caused by the infections that requires compensation, its also the wrongs suffered by those affected, that must also be compensated for. So when a person with an eligible infection has been accepted onto the scheme, their affected loved ones will be able to apply for compensation in their own right. For those like robert, infected in the 1970s, there is an urgency to compensation. As an affected person, your life is continuing. But when you are dying, you feel slightly differently about what compensation means. A lump sum payment, a Monthly Payment to somebody who, ridiculously, is going to die in four months time, what do i care about next years payments . I want a lump sum now and i want to be able to go and have a good time. Compensation is very different for an infected person. Lizzie lost her mum. She was told she had hepatitis c, there was no support. It had a huge impact, both financial and emotional. So many people were infected i and affected, and their lives have been turned upside down through no fault of their own. People have lost houses, i people have lost marriages. I lost myjob at the time i because i was so distraught at the death of my mum. I had to borrow money to pay for her funeral flowers. But its notjust about me i personally, its about all of us. We have all suffered. For the infected and the affected, these days are the culmination of years of campaigning. But they are determined to hold the government to account. Dominic hughes, bbc news. Let me tell you what is coming up in the next couple of minutes. The defence have rested their case in Donald Trumps hush money trial. The latest from our correspondent covering that trial. Also on the programme, irans hosts the funeral for their president. Around the world and across the uk, you are watching bbc news. Lets head to new york because donald trump is a case has been put to rest. Both sides represents their Closing Arguments in a weeks time. Donald trump was accused of falsifying Business Records about paying is Stormy Daniels in the run up to the election. He denies the charges. Our correspondence gave us the latest developments from the courthouse. The us the latest developments from the courthouse. ,. , courthouse. The defence cuts to witnesses. Courthouse. The defence cuts to witnesses, the courthouse. The defence cuts to witnesses, the burden courthouse. The defence cuts to witnesses, the burden of courthouse. The defence cuts to witnesses, the burden of proof. Courthouse. The defence cuts to i witnesses, the burden of proof lies with the prosecution. This is where the former President Donald Trump were to take the risk and take the stand and testify in his own defence. To testify and get the Jerry Insight into his attempt into this entire alleged scheme that prosecutors have spent weeks outlining to the jury. There were signals that, despite public comment, that he would testify. But he wasnt going to, his legal team telling thejudge he wasnt going to, his legal team telling the judge that they were still debating that. Now we know for sure that donald trump will not be taking the stand in his defence. So, his case rattles to its end. Prosecutors have rested after calling 20 witnesses, presenting 200 pieces of evidence and exhibits over several weeks. The defence called to witnesses, and one of them created perhaps the most dramatic appearance in court he was reprimanded by the judge who gave him a harsh dressing down, emptying the entire courtroom of reporters as well, accusing the witness of staring him down and not following proper court decorum. The judge has now told thejury following proper court decorum. The judge has now told the jury that they will return next tuesday after they will return next tuesday after the long holiday weekends here in the long holiday weekends here in the united states, to hear Closing Arguments on both sides. He gave them each instructions to keep an open mind about the case and to not research or talk about it with anyone. He said that those instructions had a greater significance now more than ever. A long holiday weekend, in the meantime, both sides will be debating how they want the judge to issue instructions to the jury. They will be debating that with the judge until we have closing statements next week. figs until we have closing statements next week next week. As we get to the combination next week. As we get to the combination of next week. As we get to the combination of this next week. As we get to the combination of this historicl next week. As we get to the i combination of this historic case, both sides will be trying to work out where the jury is going to land and the narrative that surrounds that absolutely crucial decision. Absolutely. They are now going to have a long weekend to fine tune their arguments. Prosecutors have had the benefit of having a narrative laid out, it is ultimately their case. They have presented precise and very easy to follow chain of events that they say led to the allegations that donald trump falsified these Business Records to disguise the true nature of the hush money to Stormy Daniels. What the defence did over cross examining every witness, was to sew as much doubt as possible. But we saw that cross examinations went on far longer than even legal analysts. They should have. They were throwing everything at the will to see what would stick. What i and other reporters covering the trial are interested to see, is how the defence wraps up all of those points in the closing argument. They need to give a compelling end pitch to jurors, and jurors have heard a lot of doubts owed in different directions. It will be interesting to see how the defence wraps it up, because that will be crucial before the prosecution get handed this case.

The vast majority of what will be decided has already been established, and it includes prince harry and several other high profile individuals that did want to add something to that trial. From the Point Of View of prince harry, he wanted to add claims that related to his then girlfriend, now wife, megan marco. It was about unlawful Information Gathering in 2016 battles involving her. The court said that those could not be included in this trial going forward. It did not say that they couldnt be tested in court, but that if he wanted to explore those that if he wanted to explore those that it should be done at a separate trial. The whole group including the prince of sussex and several other high profile people, looked at several allegations against Rupert Murdoch and whether he could be part of this trial. The judge actually disagreed, saying that allegations had already made that senior News Executives and newspapers knew about and falsely denied the unlawful information that was in including unlawful Phone Hacking and other Information Gathering. Theyve said that caution should be included in regards to these actions, they have said that what the trial needed to do was to establish whether they complain tenants actually had their information falsely dealt with by newspapers, it was a trial and not an inquiry is what the judge said.

Chatgpt� s owners say the voice is not intended to be an imitation of the star. Our technology reporter, Shiona Mccallum reports. Scarlettjohanssons face is known across the world, but its the oscar nominated actresss voice thats under scrutiny. Good morning, theodore. Good morning. You have a meeting in five minutes. You want to try getting out of bed . In the movie her, she played an ai chatbot which a human fell in love with. Now listen to this. 0h, mark. Im doing great. Thanks for asking. How about you . A remarkably similar voice called sky has been used by 0penai, the Company Behind chatgpt, as they released their assistant last week. Scarlettjohansson revealed she had in fact been offered to be the voice of the new system an offer she declined so she was surprised at the likeness. In a statement to the bbc, she said. When i had the released demo i was shocked and angered that the voice would sound so similar to mine that Close Friends and news outlets could not tell the difference. She criticised the Ceo Sam Altman for posting the word her on social media. She took that as an insinuation that she was the inspiration for the chatbot� s sound. Despite denying it was an imitation, the firm said it was pausing it. In a statement, mr altman said. The voice of Titlecase Guy Sentence Case is not scarlettjohansson. 0ut case is not scarlettjohansson. Out of respect for miss johanson, we have paused using Titlecase Guy Sentence Cases voice. It is in question how individual rights can remain protected and how Artificial Intelligence and deep fakes can become more of a threat. Hello. Rain clouds are looming and we are in for a wet day tomorrow. As far as todays concerned, showers and thunderstorms are possible across some parts of the country, but for many of us, its actually going to be a relatively dry day, albeit on the cloudy side. Certainly more cloud around today compared to yesterday. Now, this is the forecast for the second half of the afternoon. Some rain there across east anglia and the south east. Where you see the lightning bolts, thats where the thunderstorms are more likely to develop. Is there any sunshine today . Yes, there is, across the Western Isles and the north of scotland and it feels warmest here too. Now through this evening and overnight, the rains going to come become more extensive across central and eastern areas of the uk. The winds will freshen, too, and by the morning really quite soggy across this part of the world, but not everywhere dry across the bulk of scotland, Northern Ireland and some of these Western Areas as well mild, around 12 or 13. Now, this low will hang around through wednesday, thursday and into friday, and it will deliver a substantial amount of rainfall, particularly to more northern parts of the country. So here it is a thoroughly wet grey day across many parts of england, wales. Eventually the rain will reach southern scotland too, and later in the day should just about nudge into Northern Ireland. Now, the south coast will probably have some sunny spells, but showers are possible, too, and even downpours much cooler tomorrow. And also a noticeable wind blowing in from the north. Now, by thursday, the rain wont be quite so heavy, but it will transfer northwards. Look at the winds again, coming in from the north. So, in scotland it really will feel very cool indeed. Temperatures in some areas could be no higher than around 11 or 12 degrees. More like 16 17 in the south with a bit of sunshine, but again, a fair amount of cloud. So, how much rainfall are we going to get . Well, there is a possibility of widely 30 to a0 millimetres of rain. And in some spots, the met office warns there could be as much as 100 millimetres of rain or more. So there could be some impacts through the week from that heavy rain. Now, this is the outlook into the weekend. There are indications that, as we head into the bank holiday weekend, High Pressure will start to build. So, the weather will settle down. But overall, it does look like its going to be a mixed bag. Now, heres that High Pressure from monday. It could be a very decent day, reliably dry, i think. But come tuesday, i think just one or two showers. Severe turbulence kills one passenger and injures dozens more. Boeing says it is ready to assist Singapore Airlines with its inquiry.
