A restored artwork goes on show full size for the first time in 300 years. Welcome to the viewers from america and around the globe. It needs has asked a court in Los Angeles to end the guardianship that she says has led to her having no control of her life and finances for 13 years. Herfatherwas her life and finances for 13 years. Her father was given legal control of his 39 year old daughters financial affairs in 2008 after she had a mental breakdown. This report has flashing images. Oh, baby, baby. She was one of the biggest stars of the early noughties. Britney spears lived, loved and lost in the limelight. With the Fame And Fortune came intense pressure and unwanted paparazzi attention. And behind the scenes, a struggle with Mental Health and a divorce during which she lost custody of her children. It all culminated in a very public breakdown. In 2008 a court awarded herfatherjamie spears temporary conservatorship. It gave him control, notjust of her finances, but her life, who she dated and even, according to leaked documents, the colour of her kitchen cabinets. Its continued for 13 years while she has continued to work. Notjust as a top Performing Artist but as a judge on x factor. Her supporters say she has said she finds the arrangement too oppressive and wants it to end. Im not here for her to perform again. Im here for her to have her rights and her freedom again. I want her to go to the court and tell the judge that she wants to terminate this conservatorship. But others say it rescued her, protects her from exploitation. She still has the opportunity to come in, frankly, at any time, if she feels and her attorney feels that its appropriate to ask that this be terminated. Youre toxic, im slipping Under. | publicly, The Star has remained largely silent about her situation until now. Dont you know i that youre toxic . I will speak to a legal analyst in miami. She has no affiliation with britney spears� s case but does represent high profile and specialises in conservatorships, and says she has not seen a case like this. This is irreverently difficult situation because this is not a normal situation for her age. These conservatorships are used for people who have diminished capacity at a young age, that never gain the ability to control their finances, or somebody who has lost capacity for reasons like dementia or things like that later in life. This has been a challenging case to Understand, and i think her speaking today is long overdue. Her speaking today is long overdue her speaking today is long overdue. ~ ,. ,. ,. , overdue. When you heard what she said. Overdue. When you heard what she said, given overdue. When you heard what she said, given this overdue. When you heard what she said, given this has overdue. When you heard what she said, given this has been l she said, given this has been going on for 13 years, what was your initial reaction as a lawyer . What is it that she can do going forward in order to remove herfather� s guardianship . Remove her Fathers Guardianship . Remove her Fathers Guardianship . My initial Reaction Guardianship . My initial reaction was guardianship . My initial reaction was that guardianship . My initial reaction was that I Guardianship . My initial reaction was that i hope guardianship . My initial reaction was that i hope what she said isnt completely true, because if it is there has been a problem with the judicial system and a serious problem with her lawyer. 0ne System and a serious problem with her lawyer. One of the things she said today was that her lawyer had not advised her that she could come to court and ask for this to be terminated, and later in the transcript there is actually a discussion with the judge explaining to her lawyer how he goes about terminating at. The lawyer himself hasnt been having these conversations with her about the fact that she could get out of it if she was ready to do it, and if so we have a serious problem. Itruiith have a serious problem. With this case. Have a serious problem. With this case, will have a serious problem. With this case, will we have a serious problem. With this case, will we hear have a serious problem. With this case, will we hear from this case, will we hearfrom her father . This case, will we Hearfrom Herfather . How does this case, will we hearfrom her father . How does this work . If she decides to proceed with a different lawyer, they will probably appoint that lawyer, and they will need to be a petition filed with the court to terminate the conservatorship. At that point, the other side, herfather, could come in and say we agreed now is the time and the judge would simply issue an order, and Understanding that both parties are on board with it, or he can contest it. If he does that, this will essentially go to trial and both sides will offer evidence to the court. It will cost millions of dollars, and it will be a very drawn out process because her father probably does not want this to end, and there is a lot of reasons. He has been making money off it. I dont know if he is ready to give it up. Given the complexities, away from this case, will this Put A Spotlight on the systems, on conservatorships, and going forward whether they are good or whether they should continue to be used . I or whether they should continue to be used . To be used . I think it should. If what she to be used . I think it should. If what she is to be used . I think it should.

If what she is saying is true, | if what she is saying is true, even only in part, there is a big problem, and the thing that often comes back to the court, what they annually look at, is how money is being spent. I have been in a situation where thejudge has said, i want to talk to the conservatee, i want to make sure this is appropriate for them. The Personal Well Being report that gets filed is filed by the conservator, so they are the one reporting back to the court how the Person is doing and whether it is still appropriate, so maybe it is time that there is a review by a court official, or they go back into court every few years to make sure the judge has the opportunity to ask the right questions and make sure the message is being delivered to the right Person. Message is being delivered to the right Person. That was our leual the right Person. That was our legal analyst. Russia fires Warning Shots at a british warship in the Black Sea.

And youre being watched by the russians. They can see us. We can see them. As we get close to crimea, the tension rises. Hms defender is going to sail within what russia now claims is its territorial waters, but following a legally recognised Shipping Lane. Would you say theres a flashpoint potentially here, in terms of how the russians will behave . Theres a contentious point. Their posture will likely be more belligerent because of our proximity to what they recognise as their waters. They will view you as belligerent going so close to crimea, wont they . They might take that view. As Hms Defender comes within 12 miles of the coast, the russian Coast Guard make a dangerous move. This russian Coast Guard vessel has come up right close to this british warship and is trying now to force it to change course. Nothing on the bridge. Absolute silence. Silence on the bridge. If you pass the borderline, ill give fire. If you dont change the course, ill give fire. Do you read me . 0ver. The crew Don Protective in case that threat is followed through. Shots are fired, but theyre well out of range. Gunfire. Aircraft visual, green 150, tracking right, altitude low. Throughout the transit, Hms Defender detects at least 20 Russian Military Aircraft nearby. Some far too close for comfort.

That is our mission. Is it poking the bear . Confident, nonconfrontational. Last year, russia claimed to have chased another royal Navy Warship out of the Black Sea.

It also means the defending champions are through to the last 16 of the tournament. Also making it through on the final day with france, germany, Sweden And Belgium while hungary and poland were amongst the sides to be knocked out. Now, lets bring you up to date on a story of a painting that had a lot of help with Artificial Intelligence to bring it up to date, a missing part of the picture was recreated all thanks to modern technology. The spectacular made even more so. Renowned for its size and scale, and for its use of light and shadow, the Night Watch makes quite an impression but it was once even more impressive. About 300 years ago, the Night Watch was moved from its original place to the town hall, where it had to fit in between the two doors. It did not fit so the movers took scissors and cut, on all sides, strips off. Those missing strips were never found, but a small copy of the entire painting had been made by another artist, before it was moved. This was analysed and then, using Artificial Intelligence, the work was recreated in the style of rembrandt himself. The problem is that the painting is by a different painter, its in a different style and has a different colour, and even some of the geometry is a bit different, so if you were to simply blow this up and put it next to the Night Watch, it would not match in any way. Modern technology has now solved that problem and this is the Night Watch restored to all its glory, as close as possible to what rembrandt originally intended. The work of a dutch master seen properly for the first time in 300 years. Tim allman, Bbc News. Great to see a bit of modern technology bring an old masterpiece up to date.
