change is not man made. the banks of this world know it s not going to happen! and paul goes for the ride of his life. you know, there s more to light than meets the eye, and i mean that literally. although it gives us all of the beautiful colours of the rainbow, we can only see a small fraction of the light that s all around us. we can t see infrared, but we can feel it as heat. ultraviolet is invisible but our skin knows if we have too much of it. and then there are x rays and gamma rays and microwaves, but it s radio waves that i ve come to talk about today. this is spire global, which makes satellites that listen to the radio waves that bounce around and off of the earth. we use data from space to improve life on earth full stop. we re done, right? ok, so maybe it s a bit more complicated than that. spire has a network of around 100 satellites in orbit that monitor the radio waves broadcast by things like planes and ships, along with natural radio waves that are reflect
is present this as a triumph for their leader. the uprising is over and the kremlin is trying to reframe the optics as what happened as a victoria bought the president and for russia. but where is yevgeny prigozhin? under his deal with the kremlin, he agreed to leave russia for belarus. today, the leader of belarus, alexander lukashenko, said yes, he is here, but in exile, could mr prigozhin still be a threat to the kremlin? not if vladimir putin could help it. he is suggesting that investigators might probe the wagner group. a less than subtle hint to the wagner chief not to make trouble. the last few days have put him under huge pressure. now president putin is determined to show he is in control. here in the ukrainian capital, i have spent most of the day talking to senior members of president zelenskyy s administration to see the mimic of the current situation. there has to be a major pinch of salt when you talk to people who are fighting what they believe is a life and d
a detachment of his men first to take over the city of rostov on don, where the russian troops and the inhabitants welcomed them, and then, secondly, to head on for moscow. and then president lukashenko of belarus rang prigozhin and offered him a deal, and that was it prigozhin ordered his men to turn back, and he and they have gone to quarters in belarus, not far from the ukrainian border. so what on earth does it all mean for the man who captured rostov? i asked famil ismailov, news editor of bbc russian. nobody expected that it s going to come to the point when he is going to take over one of the biggest cities in the south of russia, with more than one million population, and seize the headquarters of a southern army command which is in charge of operations in ukraine. so to that point, yes, unexpected. but other than that, prigozhin is such a character and his private army has come to such a level of influence on the front line and also in public opinion, because he s
wherever you rejoining me from around the world, once again, a big hello, and a warm welcome to the show. you know, it may never have been a more challenging time for companies. and while rising costs and interest rates certainly dominate the headlines, companies themselves say that being able to employ enough of the rightly skilled people is one of the biggest problems they face. in particular, they need more people with technical and communication skills. you know, in america, the unemployment rate is atjust under 4%, and almost 70% of companies say they have trouble recruiting all the staff they need. that s11i% more than two years ago. in europe, they re calling 2023 the so called year of skills, because more than three quarters of companies, they report difficulties finding workers with the right skill set. and a quarter of small and medium sized companies say that that is their biggest problem. here in the uk, it s a similar picture to america. unemployment is hovering
it s mostly fair weather cloud for england and wales. the odd light shower maybe for north wales, more likely in north west england. some showers developing in northern ireland and particularly again in scotland, where some could be heavy and possibly even thundery as well. strongest winds will be in scotland. blustery everywhere. temperatures on the cool side. 17 scotland, northern ireland to a high of 22 in the south east of england. and even as we head into the beginning of next week, we ve still got those rather cool and blustery winds around as well. that weather front continues to bring some wet weather in the far north of scotland. elsewhere, there ll be some sunshine but we re likely to find more showers breaking out and we could see a spell of wet weather pushing its way eastwards over the irish sea and eastwards across england and wales to give some late showers for the first day of wimbledon. and those temperatures are still below par for this time of the year 16 21 celsiu
