them just five years ago but when parisians were asked to vote on whether they wanted to keep them, last april, they said non. it's meant the three companies which operate the e—scooters have been withdrawing them from paris — and redeploying them to other european cities. hugh schofield is in paris. what is it that has made prison —— parisienne is dislike them? -- parisienne is dislike them?

politically from changing sides. she could see and read the public mood which was in its majority against them. there was a lot above public anger about the way in which they were ridden, sometimes in reckless fashion, with two people piggybacking on pavements and so on. and the way they were often dumped, not in proper places where they were supposed to be stored butjust left on pavements. littering the streets. the situation did improve after a couple of years when the town hall read the riot act to the companies and the rules were tightened but by that point it was too late. the mood had turned against them and she had this referendum this year and as expected a few people who voted were opponents and those who used the things did not vote so it was clear what was gonna happen from that moment on and now they are gone. although the ones you are rent have gone, am i correct in thinking the ones that you own are around the city. you are allowed to own one privately? its city.

machine. he won't be able to hire them on the street but you can hire them from a shop or dealer. so that will go on. australia has introduced a ban on thick plastic shopping bags and mass balloon releases to cut down on single—use plastics. authorities in three states are also outlawing a range of products, from cotton bud sticks to polystyrene packaging. conservationists say that in the past five years, australia has become a world leader in banning single—use plastics. scientists say more than 171 trillion pieces of plastic are estimated to be floating in the world's oceans, and say that number could nearly triple by 2040. in recent years australia's path to combat and eliminate disposable plastic began back in 2018 when the state of queensland banned those thin lightweight single—use plastic shopping bags. that ban was extended in 2021 to include disposable bowls and cutlery and other single use items. so, everso and cutlery and other single use items. so, ever so slowly australia is trying to get to the root of its plastic problem. it's estimated that australians consume enough plastic that produces the equivalent in terms of greenhouse gases as 5.7 million cars. so quite clearly, this is a country addicted to plastic. from today in the state of queensland, it is now illegal to release helium balloons into the sky. conservationists say that studies have shown that these balloons are deadly to seabirds who often mistake them for food. 0ther often mistake them for food. other measures being introduced in other states in south australia include banning of polystyrene packaging and also microbeads. they are found in many shower and personal care products including cleaning products. everso products including cleaning products. ever so slowly, australia

the legality of the revocation of indian—administered kashmir�*s special status in 2019. since the change, which gave the indian national government political control of kashmir, journalists say the administration is carrying out a systematic and sinister campaign of arrests and intimidation aimed at silencing the press in the region. the indian government says there is absolute press freedom in kashmir. 0ur south asia correspondent yogita limaye reports from srinagar. yogita limaye reports this is the kashmir india's government wants the world to see. beautiful, serene. full of tourists. away from sight is the more grim picture. a painful, long running conflict. more recently, a clampdown on democratic rights. journalists who can bring out people's voices and ground realities say they're now being silenced by the government. asif sultan, a kashmiri reporter, pictured here at one of his court hearings. he's been injailforfive years, charged under terror laws. his father, mohammad, says asif was targeted for this article he wrote about an anti—india militant. translation: everyone knows he's innocent. - he's a professional reporter and was jailed for his writing about the militancy. they wanted to make an example out of him so otherjournalists don't dare to cover topics the government doesn't approve of. at the time of his arrest, asif�*s daughter was just six months old. areeba might have been reunited with her father when he was given bail last year. but on the day of his release, new charges were brought. asif was kept in jail. it's part of a troubling pattern. journalist sajjad gul, jailed for criminal conspiracy. well—known magazine editor, farhad shah, arrested on terrorism charges. whenever they are granted bail, new cases are filed to keep them in custody. most recently, irfan mehraj, who's worked with international outlets, jailed for alleged links to terrorfunding. this complex, which now houses an office of the kashmir police, until last year, this is where kashmir�*s press club used to be — the main body in the region which used to stand up for the rights ofjournalists. last year, it was shut down by the government, and in its absence, journalists say they have nowhere to turn to if they feel threatened. and it isn'tjustjailing. we've heard of other forms of intimidation. dozens ofjournalists in this region are on no fly lists, prevented from leaving the country. dozens ofjournalists have not had their passports renewed. we've spoken to 20 journalists on the ground, each of whom have told us that they've been called by the police and questioned about stories that they've done or social media posts that they've put out. this reporter told us about one such experience. he doesn't want to be identified, fearing reprisal. i started getting calls from the police over a story i had written. they kept asking why i had done it. then i was questioned in person. they told me they know everything about me and my family, which felt very scary. i kept thinking, would i be arrested or harmed physically? and what impact has that had on yourjournalism? instead of thinking about whether i have enough facts in a report, i worry more about whether it will land me in trouble. we are all self—censoring. there is an attempt to silence the press in kashmir once and for all. mostjournalists told us they fear reprisal by the state. but in a conflict between indian forces and underground militant outfits, some say there are other dangers too. i spoke to a journalist who received threats from an insurgent group. working as a journalist in kashmir is like walking on a razor�*s edge. there are threats from all sides. i'm constantly afraid of a bullet coming at me and that no—one will ever find out who fired that. the impact onjournalism is evident when you look at the papers on any given day. the front pages are pretty much full of statements from either the national government or the regional administration. there are lots of soft stories, but there's barely any journalism in here holding the government to account. we asked the police and the regional administration to respond to the allegations made byjournalists who spoke to us. they haven't replied. in press statements, the administrative head of the region has insisted that there's absolute press freedom in kashmir. what we found belies the claims. 0n ground in kashmir, press freedom has all but been eroded. yogita limaye, bbc news, srinagar. a digital popstar, whose voice has been made with the help of artificial intelligence, has been signed by a major record label for the first time. noonoouri now on the books at warner music has released herfirst song �*dominoes' today. she has been created by the german influencer, joerg zuber. previous virtual artists have existed, but in this case noonoouri's image has been made with 2d graphics and motion capture, and her voice has been created with the help of ai. what does it mean for the music industry? shiona mccallum's been to berlin to find out. meet noonoouri. she's a virtual character, an instagram influencer and has worked with big fashion brands. her appearance has been created using 2d graphics and motion capture. now this avatar has a record deal backed by a major label. oh, my god. this is amazing. it's like, really like it was accelerating my pulse when i got the email from warner music central europe is writing me and they were like asking me, are you interested in music? and i say, well, what a question. her voice has been created with the help of artificial intelligence. they pitched it higher. of course they made it more female. but we didn't want to create like a human voice. we wanted to have it a bit like technology, like a bit tech voice. so the bass and the original voice of her is my voice. and to make this sound, they got a singer involved, too. there comes the moment where we use a.i. technology. the voice from the singer we needed to know when he was singing high. when he was singing low, when he was singing slower. when he got more speed, when he got more pressure. warner music is releasing the first single. when you want to experiment with motion capture technology and so on, she is a perfect fit here. you can appear in different places at the same time. you can change her style in a minute. we can make her fly if we want because it feels natural to her because she's already a digital character. so there are more opportunities than with the human artist in that respect. al was only a small step in the creation of this song. producers and songwriters all over the globe contributed. like every new technology ai brings with it immense opportunity, but it also raises profound challenges. it about knowing whether something is al generated. there are questions about personality rights. at the moment, personality rights aren't really copy protected. you could generate an ai version of the pop star and a singer and they wouldn't have any rights about how that is used. it's looking about regulatory and legal framework around ai is used so that it enables human creativity in the music industry. clearly the use of ai is becoming more mainstream but now it's officially entering the charts, will it make it to number one? live now to joerg zuber a creative director — and the creator of noonouri. what market are you aiming her at? hello, everybody. i'm so happy to be here. we are trying to make her wider and broader because she has very profound messages about children, animals,

6,000 litres of milk to make it... the team behind the record attempt said that they were thrilled to have the team behind the record attempt said that they were thrilled to have made history with the

concerns about a type of concrete. just days from the start of the new school year, the government says new evidence has emerged about a building material known as raac. we're now changing the policy
