Confirmed as having died from the incident and 30 injured, 18 of whom have been taken to hospital to be treated for their injuries. It is a pretty scary moment when you hear about these things and we have all experienced turbulence on planes and so the reaction has been fairly rapid. There has been a post on the Social Media Platform where boeing said it was in contact with Singapore Airlines about the fight because this was a 77 plane and said it was ready to offer support. I was poring over at some us Regulator Data and it shows that actually is awful as the incident was, it is pretty rare that you get severe injuries from turbulence. Just to put this in context, 163 cases recorded between 2009 and 2022, but that being said, theres always the risk that Climate Change could make matters worse Going Forward and you could see more of these types of turbulence. Foranyone could see more of these types of turbulence. For anyone who has flown before, each time you get the message saying, keep your seat belt fastened, it is incidents like this that remind you why. How fastened, it is incidents like this that remind you why. How common is this kind of turbulence . That remind you why. How common is this kind of turbulence . Boeing that remind you why. How common is this kind of turbulence . Boeing have| this kind of turbulence . Boeing have said they are helping with the inquiry but there is no real statement or response from them in terms of what went on. Yes. Statement or response from them in terms of what went on.

Yes, it seems to be, not a case of mechanical to be, not a case of mechanical failure, that does not seem to be theissue, failure, that does not seem to be the issue, based on what we know, it seems to be quite straightforwardly a matter of turbulence. As i said, Climate Change could make matters worse because there was Research Last year from the University Of Reading that shows that clear Air Turbulence which is difficult to see and very dangerous and hazardous, has actually increased in various regions around the world. There is a risk that airlines will need to start thinking more about how they manage this increase in turbulence because there was one study that said actually it could cost the industry between 150 and 500 million annually, and that is just in the us, because every minute spent travelling to turbulence increases wear and tear on the aircraft and it also increases the risk of injuries to passengers and two Flight Attendants as we see here, because most of them spend time on their feet than passengers. It is a real concern but at the moment going through reports of how frequent we see this, it is pretty low at the moment, between 2009 and 2023, the regulator in the us said there were under 200 incidents which are given how many planes fly every minute of the day, that shows you it is still pretty rare but it can have severe consequences. Pretty rare but it can have severe consequences pretty rare but it can have severe consequences. Michelle, thanks for oininu us. Consequences. Michelle, thanks for joining us keep consequences.

A number of Tech Companies have signed up to use ai systems more responsibly, firms like google, amazon and microsoft and 0penai. We can speak to a partner at a law firm in paris.

What is happening today in south korea is one more illustration about the importance in striking the right balance between innovation and protecting from certain things, and there is testimony also with companies willing to engage with voluntary commitments around safety and ai and the importance of adopting future proof behaviours and strategies. At the same time, today, we are closing an important chapter in the Ai Regulatory History which the eu regulators are adopting, they are hoping to have the first ever legislation around ai applicable in the eu and beyond. {line legislation around ai applicable in the eu and beyond.

One of the key| undertakings is committing to what they call a set of Safety Procedures that will measure the risks there ai models could pose. Talk to me about what the potential risks could be . It is interesting to see the same concepts and the same objectives being shared in south korea and within the framework of the ai pact, it is about risks which may be raised by these very powerful impact for al models that are able to competently perform multitasking activities. When it comes to what risks the society is aiming at protecting, it is a roundhouse, fundamental values, protecting, it is a roundhouse, fundamentalvalues, human protecting, it is a roundhouse, fundamental values, human rights, society and environment it is around health. So any sort of risk that may endanger society, companies and individuals dealing with al. I5 and individuals dealing with al. Is it your sense that the commitment goes far enough .

The uk is approaching a soft landing after last years mild recession, but could face a £30bn hole in the public finances according to the International Monetary fund. The imf upgraded Growth Forecasts for this year from 0. 5 to 0. 7 , but pointed to difficult choices on tax and spending in the next parliament. The report warns against tax cuts while the uk faces a medium term fiscal challenge. Suren thiru is economics director at the institute of chartered accountants in england and wales. There are two big things, the first one suggests we have turned a corner from the session but inflation falling sharply. That is the good news. The report also shows some structure issues in the uk, such as age of population, poor productivity and getting people back into the work will hamper the Growth Prospects in the uk if not addressed. An interesting line that struck me was pointing to difficult choices on tax and spending in the next parliament, and if as the polls lead us to believe we have a new government, does that limit them, and tie their hands in what they can do when it comes to tax and spending policy . It is in a challenging state, for a number of reasons. The question for any future government is that they need to be clear about the challenging choices they need to make about taxes and spending, investing in public services, the tax burden. How you balance those choices is critical because there will be real challenges facing the uk economy. If they arent addressed, like getting people into work, that is a challenge for teh uk to continue growing, as we have seen recently. And also when we look at the state of the economy now, theres so much in play given that Inflation Heading in the right direction. Questions on interest rates, whether they will come down. That could put more money in peoples pocket and boost the economy, but it takes time. I guess if you are in Downing Street you want it to happen sooner rather than later. What is striking in the imf report is while they do expect inflation to fall back to targets, they say they expect it to drift upwards later this year. That makes it tricky for the Bank Of England to cut interest rates. The story might get more tricky as we move forward this year. In other news. Shoppers are still seeking out cheaper own brand goods in the uk. Grocery inflation has fallen to the lowest level since october of 2021. Those findings come ahead of official figures those findings come ahead of officialfigures due out those findings come ahead of official figures due out on wednesday which are expected to show a sharp fall in overall inflation.
