just show you the live pictures because just in the last few minutes we were actually watching israel's prime minister, this is the finance minister, this is the finance minister who has taken his place giving an update on the economy. but those crucial lines that were reported and it's just worth repeating what israel's prime minister has just said about israeli troops having pushed through the gaza city outskirts. we will read you the quote, he said, we are at the heart of the battle we've had successes across the outskirts of gaza city. we are advancing. that was a statement from the israeli prime minister in the last few minutes. we will get you more on the ground in that storyjust in a moment or two. now, as promised, let head to the bbc sport centre. good afternoon. good afternoon. let's start with cricket. india have become the first team to qualify for the cricket world cup semi finals — and they've done it in emphatic style. batting first — they set sri lanka 358 to win. and their opponents never got close — bowled out forjust 55, losing by 302 runs. mohammed shami finishing with 5 wickets forjust 18 runs — as sri lanka were restricted to the 4th lowest total in world cup history. and australia will be looking to move a step closer to booking their place in the final four on saturday — they face england — but they'll have to do it without one of their key players. all—rounder mitchell marsh has flown home for personal reasons and will miss the match. no further details or timeframe for his return have been given. marsh has played in all six of australia's matches so far, scoring 225 runs and taking two wickets. he's got a family issue going on. and, like we all know, family is very important and the most important, really. so he is doing the right thing, he's getting home and seeing the people he needs to see. i got a message saying i'll be home for a bit and then i'm coming back to win this world cup. that's his mindset, i think. south africa's rugby team have been given a heroes welcome as they began a four day national victory parade — following their success at the world cup. thousands of fans lined the streets in pretoria

have, you know, a magic hand and just end all this for everybody but it's frustrating and i honestly, ijust may be donating some money will help a little bit with what they have been going through but i know money doesn't mean anything right now to them. so, iwish doesn't mean anything right now to them. so, i wish forfreedom doesn't mean anything right now to them. so, i wish for freedom for

story that has captivated australia. and made global headlines — the deaths of three people, believed to have been poisoned by mushrooms in a family lunch. now, more than a month after serving the meal, a woman has been charged with murder. richard galpin reports. police have been searching erin patterson's home in the small town of leongatha, south—east of melbourne, from early today. the arrest and charges of the 49—year—old come more than three months after the suspected poisoning took place at a lunch. she had invited her ex in—laws, gail and don patterson, and gail's sister, heather wilkinson, and her husband ian wilkinson to her home. within days, three of them were dead. only ian wilkinson survived. toxicology reports suggest the victims had consumed death cap mushrooms. in a written statement to police, erin patterson said she had bought button mushrooms at a supermarket and dried fungi at an asian grocery store and used them in a beef wellington dish. today's arrest is just the next step in what has been a complex and thorough investigation by homicide squad detectives and one that is not yet over. we are being assisted by the afp's technology detector dogs. erin patterson has been charged with three counts of murder and five counts of attempted murder. she denies the charges. richard galpin, bbc news. artificial intelligence is the technology that is supposed to revolutionise our lives. or poses a threat to our very existence, depending upon who you speak to. the opportunities — and risks — presented by ai are being examined by about 100 world leaders, tech bosses and academics in a two—day summit at bletchley park, in buckinghamshire. bletchley park was the home of the uk's code—breaking teams during the second world war. these global talks are aimed at building an international consensus on the future of ai. these were leaders from across the world lining up for a family photo at the summit, but some key international figures were missing. germany's 0laf scholtz and emmanuel macron of france are among the absentees. live now to lewis vaughanjones who is at bletchley park. lewis, in terms of what they are focusing on today, take me through it. hello. what they are focusing on is the big existential threat of ai. how it could potentially impact the future, get control of itself, how it could be used for cyber attacks, biowarfare is. these are all big, big problems with frontier ai, ai that doesn't actually exist right now but could exist soon. so, world leaders have been gathering and talking. just in the last few minutes i have seen a big group of politicaljournalists, our political editor chris mason among them queueing up and heading inside because there will be a press conference with rishi sunak, the prime minister himself. presumably giving us a flavour of what they have been talking about. the theme has been cooperation, international cooperation. we have had big international names here, the us secretary general, ursula von der leyen. i wish i could show you but the camera angles can't flip around, the camera angles can't flip around, the doors are shutting so that press conference should start producing and i imagine we will hear a bit of it when rishi sunak does start speaking. we have had world leaders are talking about how to cooperate, how best to regulate ai, how to work with big tech companies and anyone developing ai with big tech companies and anyone developing al to make sure that we get ahead of any potential problems. you remember the beginning of the internet,

spend a second day testifying in a new york civil fraud trial. donald junior and his brother eric are both senior trump 0rganization executives, and are co—defendants in the case — alongside donald trump senior. the new york attorney general accuses the former president of misrepresenting his wealth by hundreds of millions of dollars. and is seeking a fine of $250 million — about £204 million — and a ban on doing business in his home state. 0ur correspondent neda tawfiq has been watching in new york. take us through the evidence that you have heard through the course of today. you have heard

decided not to cross examine him. throughout the past hour yesterday of testimony, they consistently presented him with documents, financial statements that he signed off on as the trustee of the trump organisation, he took on that role when his father became president. he consistently use the same argument, yes, i signed off on these arguments but i wasn't the one who compiled them. i relied on accountants i paid and i relied on them for their expertise. today they also presented with him from an e—mail that came from forbes magazine. many forms audience might remember that forbes magazine publishes a year every year of the wealthiest americans. forbes was fact checking several items and sent an e—mail and donald junior was on that e—mail and he forwarded it to the trump family law is saying, there is an insane amount of stuff in here. he was asked about that on the stand asking if he ever fact checked things asking whether the square footage was over exaggerated, its 11,000 square feet and they over exaggerate to 33,000 square feet inside. he said, i don't recall. i don't know that i would spend hundreds of questions worth of time answering forbes magazine. then he continued that kind of line of answering the prosecutor's questions. he did say that he still thinks those financial statements are fine and he didn't say anything wrong with them even now after the judge and the attorney general found that they had fraudulent valuations. yesterday he was laughing and joking in court at what the sanctions could be here, they are incredibly serious, aren't they? absolutely. the 'udue serious, aren't they? absolutely. the judge has — serious, aren't they? absolutely. the judge has already _ serious, aren't they? absolutely. the judge has already found - serious, aren't they? absolutely. | the judge has already found them liable and has ordered the cancellation of the business certificates. that's an issue on appeal now but that could see them lose their assets such as trump tower. here in this trial, at state now weighs whether they would pay up to $250 million in penalties, whether they would be barred from ever doing business in new york again. certainly his attitude, even though he is the most outspoken politically, his attitude here and eric trump 0zma has been very different to their fathers. he has joked with thejudge different to their fathers. he has joked with the judge and treated this process with respect and answering the questions in a calm manner. so certainly very different from how his father has approached this. ., ~' . ~' this. live there in new york. thank ou ve this. live there in new york. thank you very much- _ now — it's been five decades in the making — but the beatles final song — now and then — has been released. i'll play a bit for you in a moment — but it is the most incredible story — becausejohn lennon wrote and sang the first few bars in 1978. the other beatles tried to finish the song in the 1990's — but the quality of the 'orginal recording' was just not good enough. but paul mccartney never let go of the idea — and here we are, in 2023 — with the first 'new�* beatles recording in 25 years. have a listen. # now and then i miss you # 0h, now and then # i want you to be there for me.# well, there it is. with me is film—maker 0liver murray — who was tasked with the job of documenting the project. and i hope to be speaking soon to... rogue best — the brother of the beatles original drummer pete best — from liverpool. but firstly, 0liver, wow what an incredible project. this but

the years wherejohn, they think he wasn't being productive, he stepped away from celebrity lifestyle, he was living in new york. but obviously, he still loved music is still making music and he was recording demos and ideas on things on tapesjust like a recording demos and ideas on things on tapes just like a writer would have a notebook he had these tape players. the problem being that he would be in the corner writing a song and there would be people talking in the room, in this case, the tv was left on, the placement of the tv was left on, the placement of the mic was on the piano is at the piano was way too loud. but he wasn't concerned with that at the time because throw forward to now, he had no idea... he time because throw forward to now, he had no idea...— he had no idea... he

really have a verse and it was one of the reason is that in the 90s after they found the tapes and gaveit 90s after they found the tapes and gave it to the remaining beatles they had two other songs, free a bird and real love that were fantastic but the third one, they just weren't getting up and running like the other two. that window of time passed and itjust sort of fell away and people thought that would be it. they tried, didn't they? you had that quote _ be it. they tried, didn't they? you had that quote that the quality of the original was rubbish, that's the word that he used. in those days they couldn't extract all of the bits that were cluttering it up? they had been working with the technology and there was a producer in the 90s who is very technology centric and itjust didn't in the 90s who is very technology centric and it just didn't feel worthy of a beatles record. we just had to let time pass and hope to have another go of it. fast forward to a row now _ have another go

be applied to the music? is this be applied to the music? is this a moment to revisit the tapes? the guys from new zealand just said, yes, let's do it. and they cleaned up. importantly, it's notjust a case of... i like this phrase musical archaeology. case of... i like this phrase musicalarchaeology. in case of... i like this phrase musical archaeology. in the same way that an archaeologist would

rattling around in his brain. when you finally heard lennon and mccartney hit the vaccine at first verse what was it like? it was very emotional. piecing it together in a documentary gave me that first hand experience of seeing john emerge from the tape to the 90s attempt to now and the peak of the documentary is where we solojohn's pristine voice and it's pretty amazing. it's pretty mellow conic. it's the last song of the beetle's catalogue, it's certainly not the end of the legacy but it's an odd thing to ponder the idea that that is the end of the beatles catalogue. ringo starr said it was the closest they would have come to having him backin they would have come to having him back in the room and eltonjohn said it was as if all the memories came back. we are hoping to make

jerusalem. hello there, good afternoon. damage and destruction caused by storm ciaran tracking eastwards across the southern half of the uk, dangerously large waves in many exposed coastal areas, and some very strong gusts of wind as well. the wind gusts have now eased, but we recorded 93 mph gusts injersey airport, 78 mph gusts at dover in kent. the winds will ease as we head through the rest of today. that storm pulls out into the north sea. but still some gusts of around 60 to 65 mph possible for exposed coastal areas, especially towards the east. bands of showers and heavy rain swirling around that very deep area of low pressure, as it gradually tracks its way further northwards and eastwards. so the winds easing towards the west but still very strong for the next couple of hours. we are going to see more heavy rain, another 40 to 60 millimetres perhaps, over the higher ground, the pennines. some more rain for eastern scotland, where we have seen the recent flooding, bands of showers again further south. northern ireland, western scotland, not seeing too bad a day. there will even be some sunshine here with temperatures peaking between ten and 12, 13 degrees celsius. still strong winds overnight tonight, across north—east england and eastern scotland. further showers here but gradually, as that low pulls away, the showers are expected to appear across england and parts of wales as well there will even be some clear spells. temperatures generally low to high single figures. as we head through friday, our area of low pressure is out into the north sea, but we can see the next one approaching from the south and the west. friday is a calmer looking day of weather. we have still got this low out in the north sea. further showers expected for much of eastern scotland and western scotland largely dry. further showers push across much of wales and into the south—west of england again. still a fairly brisk wind blowing behind the area of low pressure. temperatures between 12 and 13 celsius. it is not too long until we see the next low sweeping in from the south—west. that is going to push in as we head through saturday and will affect mostly southern areas of the uk yet again. there are localised weather warnings in force for heavy rain across the south of england, also affecting wales. further north, across northern england, and northern ireland, a little bit of dry weather. we could again see some rain in north—eastern areas of scotland. goodbye. live from london. this is bbc news. the window blew in and i heard my wife shout, help! the chimney had
