Millions of people who own iphones could prove to be. Millions of people who own iphones and| could prove to be. Millions of people who own iphones and other apple products by it because the brand is known for the ease and simplicity of use, but the flip side of that, as we are seeing in this complaint, is that it has locked out competitors from its system and thats what this lawsuit is going after, trying to open up apples Business Model to others, saying that other firms have been locked out, whether it is payment systems, makers of Rival Smartwatches which dont work so well, or even simple things like messaging, if you are using an android and trying to message someone on an iphone, sometimes sending videos and things like that can be difficult in this lawsuit aims to level the playing field. What is interesting to note is it is not consumers who are clamouring for this, in some of the businesses who have found themselves locked out which weve seen play out in other courts like the maker of fortnite, epic, which has been pursuing apple saying it should be allowed to pursue more revenue from the app store so this has now made it to the department ofjustice and i think apple sees it as an existential threat because if you look at their response, they plan to vigorously fight back, they deny the claims made in this lawsuit and they say it threatens who we are. What say it threatens who we are. What often proves say it threatens who we are. What often proves to say it threatens who we are. What often proves to be say it threatens who we are. What often proves to be the say it threatens who we are. What often proves to be the case say it threatens who we are. What often proves to be the case in these anti trust cases is simply trying to prove whether apple did this with intent on whether apple just because its so successful and consumers like what it did, whether its just part of that technology. The question about whether apple deliberately is trying to keep out competitors, that will be the crux, wont it . ,. , , wont it . There have been attempts throu~h wont it .

There have been attempts| through congress to try and address this issue and its notjust apple who have been accused of the sort of behaviour, just look across the landscape at the moment, youve got google, meta and others facing scrutiny from american regulators, whether its the Department Of Justice or the federal trade commission. In europe, you have the Digital Markets act which is aimed at addressing some of this. I think there has been increasing concern about the dominance of the so called gatekeepers and this is an attempt through the law to try to redress some of that. The question is, what does it mean both for consumers Going Forward and for businesses who stand to benefit from the system opening up and creating more competition . On one hand, it might bring down prices, on the other hand, may be that ease and simplicity that apples products are known for, maybe it will be more like an android than an iphone Going Forward, but this kind of lawsuit is going to take a lot of time to resolve, its going to do a lot of energy for all parties involved. Its reminiscent of what we saw in the � 90s with microsoft when there were lots of questions about whether microsoft will be broken up or not. Ultimately it wasnt and is still a very Successful Company today but it took many years and a lot of money took many years and a lot of money to resolve and i think thats what apple is facing now.

The Bank Of England governor Andrew Bailey has given a strong hint that despite the bank keeping Interest Rates high at 5. 25 , they could be coming down soon. They have been fixed since last august after a series of hikes aimed to tame soaring inflation but this week, we learned that inflation came down more sharply than expected last month, it slowed from 4 in january to 3. 4 in february. Mr bailey has been speaking to our economics editor faisal islam. Inflation has come down as expected but weve still got some way to go, particularly with the more persistent bits of inflation, thats particularly the services, half the total good of prices, thats still at 6 . We want to say to come down to a sustainable level, consistent with the target, but we need to see further progress.

Global musics sales grew for the ninth Consecutive Year in 2023 with record Music Revenues increasing in every market and region across all formats. The rise in global paid streaming revenue comes across many of the comes after many of the leading streaming Services Like spotify and apple music raised the cost of their subscription over the last 18 months so what is driving that growth in revenue . Lets talk to the Director Of Communications at the International Federation of the phonographic industry that compiled the report. These are impressive numbers, double digit growth, revenue reaching 28. 6 billion. What is driving that when we are all feeling a little bit worse off in the pocket .

Data shows that in general, artists are seeing an increasing share of growing Industry Revenues which is good news. We also put together the global charts looking at the best selling artists Around The World, its perhaps no surprise that the biggest selling artist of last year is taylor swift but were also seeing an increasingly diverse range of artists entering into those charts. For example, the Selling Album Of Last Year was by a korean act called 17 and weve seen at latin american artists coming into the top ten as well so its an increasingly diverse set of genres and music.

The challenge comes for the Music Industry when ai systems take on artists content without consent or use their name, image or likeness without their permission to then create something. That is our biggest concern and something we are working to clarify. We are working with lawmakers Around The World to ensure firstly at the law is respected and that content isnt taken without permission and secondly that there is transparency so that those who have a legitimate interest can check whether these ai systems have used their content whilst they are trailing so thats important, if we get that right and get those guardrails in place, then ai becomes a really exciting part of that music mix for the future. Its that music mix for the future. Its about getting those guardrails in place while limiting risks and harnessing the power of it. Thank you for speaking to us.

A study found that women face twice the risk of miscarriage or low birth rate if they worked in hot environments compared to cooler places. The team is working with scientists in the uk who better understand these findings who say they could have advice for pregnant women Around The World. Our Health Correspondent has been to the indian state to meet some of the women who took part in the study. Summer is coming. And india is predicted to become one of the first countries where temperatures will top the safe limit for Healthy People who are just sitting out in the shade. Its workers like these who will be and already are most affected by the heat. These workers start early in the morning to avoid the worst of the hot sun. Its around 28 degrees at the moment and very humid. Ive been sweating quite a lot all morning. This is just one of three Jobs Sandhiya has to help feed her two children. There was also a third child who she lost six months into her pregnancy. Translation i would work the whole day in the heat. L my legs would swell. I felt thirsty all the time and out of breath. One day i was cutting the crops, i suddenly felt intense pain and i started bleeding. I went to see the doctor and he told me my baby had died. Sandhiya is one of hundreds of pregnant women who took part in a study about the impact of heat stress at work on pregnancy. 800 pregnant women took part. Researchers found that those who worked in extreme heat faced double the risk of stillbirth, pre term birth, miscarriage and low birth weight. The authors say the findings are important for women everywhere because these problems could be seen at much lower temperatures in countries like the uk. Researchers in the study used this special Temperature Gauge to measure the various ways heat affects our bodies. There is a long way to go to in order to find the exact biological mechanism behind this that may help us to improve the Reproductive Health of the women globally. And before this was all open, so the sun would just be on the workers . Yeah, yeah. At this brick kiln on the outskirts of chennai, the owner has erected these giant sheds to better protect workers as temperatures rise. Making these and other changes, he says, is also making him more money. Translation they used to have more health problems, but since we started using the machinery and got these sheds, they dont suffer as much. This kind of work, mainly undertaken by women, is only going to get harder as our planet heats up. And scientists investigating the impact on the most vulnerable warn the world must adapt now.

Tens of thousands of children are at risk of being groomed and coerced into crime by organised gangs according to a leading Child Protection expert. Professor alexis jay who revealed the extent of Sexual Exploitation in rotherham is warning of an urgent but preventable crisis will stop working with a charity, she has concluded there is no National Strategy for dealing with this type of crime. If they knew you were talking to me right now, what would they do to you . I dont think id be alive. Seriously. I genuinely think i would end up six feet under. Thats why were not revealing joes identity, or the area where, as a child, he worked for a criminal if they wanted me to go and sell something for them, i had to go and do it. If i had to go and hit someone for them, i had to go and do it. Or it was me that was paying the price. Why are children being exploited and coerced into crime . Professor alexis jay took evidence from 70 people and organisations in an inquiry commissioned by the Charity Action for children. A big factor in it appeared to be loneliness, isolation, the desire, and how good it felt, to be part of something, even though it was criminal activity. They controlled my life without me realising they were controlling my life. What i found most shocking generally was the casual violence that was involved. Knife crime, of course. But we also heard about the use of machetes, bats, and hammers and axes. Its driving a rise in violent youth crime. And she says the government all parties need to act. It needs a National Focus and a National Strategy. And equally importantly, it needs the introduction of a new offence of child criminal exploitation. Youre saying theres no strategy at the moment . None. No. Its uncoordinated, fragmented, piecemeal. The home office is focused on Fighting Crime Gangs who use dedicated phone lines to sell drugs. £5 million has been earmarked over three years to help exploited children and their families. In scotland, joes mum has been trying to get help for years. I tried everything. I tried phoning the police. I tried going to school. I tried social services. What happened . They told me it was all in my head, like i was a bad parent. There was nothing wrong. But she clung on tojoe. She was left in a battle for her son against the loyalty of the gang.

An ai tool being tested in scotland has identified tiny Breast Cancer tumours in 11 women, which had been missed by doctors. The technology was piloted alongside National Health service clinicians and analysed the mammograms of more than 10,000 women. Lets speak to the Chief Investigator on the study. Our Technology Editor Zoe Kleinmann has more details. So this is one of the extra cancers that was picked up by the ai. That is so tiny. Yes, it is, indeed. And you can see why two Human Readers would have just looked through, compared it, it looks very much the same, and would have said that thats normal. Here in aberdeen, dr gerald lip has just led the first nhs evaluation of an Artificial Intelligence tool called mia, designed to help improve Breast Cancer diagnosis. The initial results are encouraging. Its almost like another colleague, and someone, a second, sort of Second Opinion looking over your shoulder and helping you. So one human reader and ai doing the next read, we could move our turnaround time from m days down to three days. And you know that anxiety, youve had a mammogram or any test in the hospital, ive had tests. Youre kind of waiting on that result and you want to know it as soon as you can. So anxiety is another factor in this as well that we want to try and reduce. Barbaras cancer was so tiny, dr lipp and his team didnt spot it, but mia did. Im just incredibly grateful. If i hadnt had that, then i dont know when i would have found it. The early diagnosis meant that barbara needed shorter and less invasive treatments. She told me without ai, her tumour might not have been spotted for another three years at her next routine scan, by which point it would have been a lot bigger and might have spread. You say cancer and they say, oh, im so sorry. And i felt a fraud because it was so small. Itsjust so easy. Theres no extra appointment or anything. And then when you have the operation, its at a very early stage. So its minimal compared to what it could be. Ai is good at this when its properly trained to spot early, tiny symptoms of a specific disease. But this isnt perfect yet. It has a tendency to over diagnose. And also because of Current Health guidelines, its not allowed to learn on the job and evolve as its used. Right now, this tech is still being researched. Mia was built by the Medicalfirm Kheiron and runs on Computing Power from microsoft. It was fed millions of images of scans from women Around The World to enable it to recognise specific signs of potential Breast Cancer. Within five years, some experts say ai will routinely be used in cancer diagnosis. I struggled to see some of the symptoms dr lip showed me, and i only looked at a few of them. Currently, Human Specialists analyse up to 10,000 scans per year. The hope is that Al Tech Like Mia might one day reduce that workload and the strain that goes with it. Zoe kleinman, bbc news. Good evening. Mixed fortunes across the country. For much of central and Southern England it was fine and dry with eclipses of sunshine. Temperatures in the mid teens in london so you could get out and enjoy the beautiful Cherry Blossom at the moment. It was a different story further north and west, the rain not too heavy but it was a nuisance as you can see from lancashire. This Weather Front will continue to sink its way south and east, clearing in the southeast during friday and behind it under the influence of low pressure, a cooler story is set to dominate. It will be a rather murky start with light, drizzly rain pushing south eastwards. Behind it, somewhat brighter with a rash of showers and Gale Force Gusts of wind to the far north. We could see that front lingering across the kent coast during the afternoon but a brighter story across england and wales, a few isolated showers but notably cooler. Furthershowers few isolated showers but notably cooler. Further showers into Northern Ireland and scotland accompanied by gales, perhaps severe gales, across the Northern Isles so that will make it feel quite chilly here and some of those showers will start to turn wintering over Higher Ground. Low pressure drifts steadily east, the winds remain tightly packed with the isobars for the start of saturday and the Weather Front will continue to enhance the showers. A chilly start to the weekend, low single figures in many rural spots and there will be some showers from The Word Go Across Scotland and Northern Ireland. These will be snowy across Higher Ground with showers developing across england and wales, some of them heavy, perhaps with hail and thunder mixed in, and temperatures remain on the cool side, gusts of wind, 35 to 45mph, and temperatures down and where they should be for this time of year. A brief ridge of High Pressure for sunday quietens things down but not for long, low pressure once again set to return into next week, keeping things again quite cool for this time of year and unsettled. Sunday is the better of the two days through the weekend but there are further showers and longer spells of rain and temperatures a bit below par as we head towards easter weekend. Live from london. This is bbc news. A new report finds a generation of british women are owed apologies and thousands of pounds in compensation because of state Pension Changes. The us files a Landmark Lawsuit against apple, accusing the tech giant of monopolising the Smartphone Market and crushing competition. Israeli forces say they ve killed fifty palestinian gunmen in continuing fighting around Al Shifa Hospital in gaza city. And Emmanuel Macron social medias latest heavy hitter. We take a blow by blow look at how leaders use photos to influence public perception. Hello, i m sarah campbell, welcome to verified live, three hours of breaking stories, and checking out the truth behind them. We start with news here in the uk and an independent investigation into Pension Changes has found a generation of women are owed apologies and thousands of pounds. A report published today says the women who were all born in the 19505 were negatively impacted by a rise in the pension age and are owed compensation. It said the government should do the right thing. It suggests women should receive payouts of between £1,000 and £2,950. Campaigners say millions of women born in the 19505 have suffered financially because they werent properly warned about the changes. Sanchia berg has the story
