the 181—run winning margin is the eighth highest for england in odi cricket. they lead the series 2—1 and meet in the final one—dayer on friday at lords. tottenham striker richarlison says he will "seek psychological help" when he returns to england after the international break. the brazilian was pictured in tears after being substituted during his country's 5—1win over bolivia on saturday. his last goals for his country were at last year's world cup. he's scored just four times in a0 games for spurs since a £60 million transfer from everton last summer. the 45 capped international said the reaction was nothing to do with his football, but some off—field issues he's been dealing with. this is what he said... two—time grand slam champion and former world number one, simona halep, says she is "shocked" after being banned for four years from the sport following breaches of the tennis anti—doping programme. the former wimbledon and french open winner says she intends to appeal against the decision at the court of arbitration for sport. she tested positive for the use of roxadustat at last year's us open, and an independent tribunal also found her guilty of using an unspecified prohibited substance or method in 2022 after irregularities were found in her biological passport. translation: i'm shocked. i could say any great interest in what's happening. i have actually never doped. my blood tests were negative and there were no banned substances found. only a tiny amount came out in the urine test, and that was it. now i have to go to the court of arbitration, and i will appeal this decision, which makes no sense in my view. i hope the truth will come out one day, and i will fight to prove it. and wales have made 13 changes for their next world cup match against portugal in nice on saturday. hooker dewi lake, who was injured for the victory over fiji, will captain the side with his co—skipper, jac morgan, rested. taulupe faletau and louis rees—zammit are the only two who survive from the 15 that started against the fijians in their opening pool match. ireland are in the group of death, which includes the world champions south africa, as well as scotland. the irish go head—to—head with the springboks a week on saturday — but first up, it's tonga, before the clash which could decide the outcome of group b. we know we are well careful of competing and doing special things —— well capable. but again, i know it's a cliche and you've always heard it from us, but obviously we've touched on it, you know, something we are confident in our abilities. so yeah, we'll be looking to hopefully go deep if we reach our standards. and that's all the sport for now. back to you, christian. the un's special rapporteur on torture says the crimes perpetrated against ukrainian civilians and prisoners of war has reached such a level it is clearly a systematic, state—endorsed policy. alice jill edwards, who has just returned from a seven—day visit to ukraine, documented a consistent pattern of torture, including rape and beatings, in different detention facilities under russian occupation. i am pleased to say the special rapporteur is with us. alicejill edwards, good evening. thank you for your patience, i know you've been standing by for us. what evidence did you uncover during this seven day trip to ukraine that suggests to you it is a state endorsed policy?— suggests to you it is a state endorsed oli ? . , . endorsed policy? thanks, christian. and es,i endorsed policy? thanks, christian. and yes, i returned _ endorsed policy? thanks, christian. and yes, i returned from _ endorsed policy? thanks, christian. and yes, i returned from ukraine i and yes, i returned from ukraine yesterday evening after a seven day visit. and the number of credible allegations was compelling. certainly i've already had submitted to my office a large trove of documentation, testimonies, interviews, forensic information around allegations of torture and other ill—treatment. what i found was there was an eerie consistency between the methods of torture, between the methods of torture, between a sense of a supervisory structure in how these forms of torture are being perpetrated, as well as the reasons, or the purposes for the torture. and those three elements together indicate that there is a state policy — the consistency was also across detention facilities and victims from different reasons. 50 it detention facilities and victims from different reasons. so it was the same pattern _ from different reasons. so it was the same pattern of— from different reasons. so it was the same pattern of abuse - from different reasons. so it was| the same pattern of abuse across from different reasons. so it was - the same pattern of abuse across the whole range of detention facilities, and it's notjust someone behaving badly — a russian soldier behaving badly, but they are following orders? , ., ._ badly, but they are following orders? , ., ., , orders? there is no way that this is aberrant behaviour. _ orders? there is no way that this is aberrant behaviour. the _ orders? there is no way that this is aberrant behaviour. the offices of. aberrant behaviour. the offices of the prosecutor general in ukraine, they document about 90% of persons who are released from detention facilities, claiming to have suffered torture, abuse or sexual, or other forms of violence. 50 suffered torture, abuse or sexual, or other forms of violence. so who do ou or other forms of violence. so who do you ultimately _ or other forms of violence. so who do you ultimately hold _ or other forms of violence. so who do you ultimately hold responsible for that? ~ ., , for that? well under human rights law, the for that? well under human rights law. the buck _ for that? well under human rights law, the buck stops _ for that? well under human rights law, the buck stops at _ for that? well under human rights law, the buck stops at the - for that? well under human rights law, the buck stops at the top - for that? well under human rights law, the buck stops at the top of l law, the buck stops at the top of the state — so that's vladimir putin himself. under criminal law, it would be each individual person — there is no defence with respect to micro—respect to the crime of torture for following superior orders, that's been eliminated as a defence. there's no immunity, so stops at the top and with the military command under that. can you talk to me about _ military command under that. can you talk to me about the _ military command under that. can you talk to me about the violence - talk to me about the violence against women, which is substantial? we know that rape is often used as a weapon of war, but there are relatively few ukrainian women who have come forward to prosecutors with complaints of sexual torture or crimes, why is that? you with complaints of sexual torture or crimes, why is that?— crimes, why is that? you are right, christian, crimes, why is that? you are right, christian. and _ crimes, why is that? you are right, christian, and i— crimes, why is that? you are right, christian, and i was _ crimes, why is that? you are right, christian, and i was somewhat - christian, and i was somewhat frustrated in the visit and not being able to advance this agenda item, primarily i believe because of insufficient time— the visit was muted to seven days for security reasons —— the visit was limited. if we go by trends and other conflict zones, where torture is being perpetrated, and a number of women are being detained either as civilians or prisoners of war, than it is likely that the extent of sexual torture is underreported. certainly men who have come forward and, in the description of their experiences, they reported —— a large number of them have reported sexual violence, and investigative ngo has documented 300 cases in detail, of which 107 have indicated they've suffered sexual torture. i've also received testimonies myself of men who had their he needs his pulled out with mark cust rations, and a lot of sexual torture in the form of electrodes and electric shocks to genitals. a number of men reported they've also heard women screaming and the windows were kept open on purpose so they could hear the women screaming. so women are being detained in the same facilities as men. you know, it's a really horrific set of circumstances, incredibly traumatic for the individuals, but also for society as a whole. 50 for the individuals, but also for society as a whole.— society as a whole. so you've obviously _ society as a whole. so you've obviously approached - society as a whole. so you've obviously approached the - society as a whole. so you've - obviously approached the russians and got no response from them — but sitting within the un structure in new york is the russian ambassador, have you presented him the findings of your report? i have you presented him the findings of your report?— of your report? i have previously, in june, of your report? i have previously, in june. which _ of your report? i have previously, in june, which was _ of your report? i have previously, in june, which was part _ of your report? i have previously, in june, which was part of - of your report? i have previously, in june, which was part of the - injune, which was part of the public record, presented a long document full of allegations of torture that i received in advance of the visit. i received no response within the timeframe set for that. of course i will be following up with the russian authorities and trying to engage with them. i think it is time that the general assembly, which is about to start next week, and the human rights council, which is ongoing this week with a special session on ukraine, really put torture on that agenda. it must slightly stick in your gut, though, that today, the russian ambassador wants to talk about the west arming ukraine, ambassador wants to talk about the westarming ukraine, he ambassador wants to talk about the west arming ukraine, he says that's holding back any solution to this crisis — he doesn't want to engage with these terrible findings you've uncovered. so often, it's a sort of alice in wonderland approach from the russians, it must be galling for you, having presented him with the evidence? ~ ., you, having presented him with the evidence? ,, ., , ., , evidence? look, ukraine is a very stranue evidence? look, ukraine is a very strange place _ evidence? look, ukraine is a very strange place to _ evidence? look, ukraine is a very strange place to be _ evidence? look, ukraine is a very strange place to be because - evidence? look, ukraine is a very strange place to be because on i evidence? look, ukraine is a very. strange place to be because on the one hand, you have countries at war using 21st—century, the most modern technology, military weapons and devices, drones, etc — and on the other hand, you have one side that's well—documented as using ancient of tactics of torture. so i see this war is being waged on two fronts — one is on the military hardware front, the other is on the bodies and minds of ordinary people. and yeah, it's incredibly frustrating. i wrote to the russian authorities because part of my mission to ukraine was also to check and verify the conditions and treatment of russian prisoners of war, of which i was given full access by the ukrainian authorities to a facility where i was able to speak to russian prisoners of war, i was able to visit all the facilities and they are being cared for in a very respectful manner — the prisoners themselves did not have complaints about the facility, some were worried about returning home, some had felt deceived. so you know, and even that requesting from the russian authorities in advance of my visit for names or locations of where they suspect their soldiers are being held, i received no information.— are being held, i received no information. . ,. ., ., ~ are being held, i received no information. ., ,. ., . ~' , ., information. fascinating. thank you for cominu information. fascinating. thank you for coming on _ information. fascinating. thank you for coming on this _ information. fascinating. thank you for coming on this evening. - information. fascinating. thank you for coming on this evening. thanks | for coming on this evening. thanks very much. — for coming on this evening. thanks very much, christian. _ they used to tell me, when i was the correspondent in paris, that one in tenjobs in france was connected to the car industry. equally important to germany and italy, the three countries have led the way in the manufacture of the internal combustion engine. but they are not in poll position any more. for some months now, there has been a dawning realisation that china is pulling ahead. europe is beginning to panic. today, the commission announced it is launching an investigation into china's state support of electric vehicle manufacture and unfair competition. they're worried that soaring imports of chinese cars will threaten the future of europe's manufacturers. here's the european commission president, ursula von der leyen. take the electric vehicles sector. it is a crucial industry for the clean economy with a huge potential in europe. but global markets are now flooded with cheaper chinese electric cars. and their price is kept artificially low by huge state subsidies. this is distorting our market. and, as we do not accept this distortion from the inside of our market, we do not accept this from the outside. it is a big deal, this, not least because her country, germany, has a major presence in china and well might be most exposed to any potential retaliation from beijing. but the french finance minister thinks it is long overdue. translation: to be competitive, we need to innovate, _ we need to simplify our rules — but we also need to be able to defend their interests, and europe must show that it is determined to defend its economic and industrial interests. from that point of view, the opening of this inquiry is a very good decision that i would like to welcome. let's speak to simone tagliapietra, senior fellow at bruegel, the brussels—based economic think tank, and professor of energy and climate policy at thejohns hopkins university. thank you very much for being with us. why are they doing this now? well now, because there are increasing pressures on europe to do something about the competitiveness of its industry in general, and on its clean tech industries in particular. in electric vehicles are a key component of the future of our economy, and therefore europe cannot afford to lose the race when it comes to electric vehicles. i hinted at what the — comes to electric vehicles. i hinted at what the repercussions - comes to electric vehicles. i hinted at what the repercussions might i comes to electric vehicles. i hinted l at what the repercussions might be, this might lead us into another trade war. this might lead us into another trade war-— trade war. well, we need to understand _ trade war. well, we need to understand that _ trade war. well, we need to understand that this - trade war. well, we need to understand that this is i trade war. well, we need to understand that this is the l trade war. well, we need to i understand that this is the start of an investigation that will aim at discovering whether china has a comparative advantage on electric vehicles, whether the cheap prices we currently see are due to massive state subsidies. if that is the case, the european union need to sit and negotiate with the chinese and understand if and how to design an important tax to level the playing field. this is about international fairness in trade, it's a very important principle of the wto, and this is the start of a long process which will entail, again, negotiations, and therefore we do not necessarily end up in a trade war with china. um? not necessarily end up in a trade war with china.— war with china. why is the commission _ war with china. why is the commission president i war with china. why is the i commission president focusing war with china. why is the - commission president focusing so much on china we know full well that joe biden has put in place a similar state subsidy package for battery manufacturers and car manufacturers in the united states?— in the united states? well, that kind of subsidisation _ in the united states? well, that kind of subsidisation going i in the united states? well, that kind of subsidisation going on i in the united states? well, that kind of subsidisation going on in china for a long time now and in the us is very different. the subsidies put in place with the inflation reduction act primarily target the deployment with certain... wells in china, there's been a long—lasting... now the question is whether this is down to distort the international market. and what europe is feeling here is the application of solar panels. the industry to... than the chinese competition destroyed this industry, now europe is fully dependent on china for these technologies. there is no willingness to replicate this story, and willingness to act on what can be done in that regard. i’m what can be done in that regard. i'm 'ust what can be done in that regard. i'm just wondering if it's possible to build industry looks —— industries like this without public subsidisation? there taking a risk ijy subsidisation? there taking a risk by moving into areas they are not experts in, and to combat the climate crisis, they are throwing money at manufacturers to get on and do it. is it a problem that europe is not put enough subsidy into its car manufacturers? in is not put enough subsidy into its car manufacturers?— car manufacturers? in my view, certainly subsidies _ car manufacturers? in my view, certainly subsidies are - car manufacturers? in my view, | certainly subsidies are important and do play an important role to stimulate industries to move in a certain direction. and of course, everybody subsidises a lot with different technologies — europe itself subsidises a lot of technologies namely for that appointment, think wind and solar. however these subsidies are not discriminatory, these subsidies are given to all operators that are operating for example in europe, whilst in china these are only directed at the chinese car manufacturers. so this is the kind of question the investigation will need to answer. and again, i think europe cannot basically bet only on this kind of trade measures in the future. it's increasingly clear that this needs to go in tandem with a solid industrial policy in europe to make sure that we also developed ourselves an innovative industry thatis ourselves an innovative industry that is able to compete at the global level, also with technologies that might well be more competitive than ours. it’s that might well be more competitive than ours. �* , ., that might well be more competitive than ours. �*, . ., , that might well be more competitive than ours. �*, . . , , than ours. it's a really interesting one to follow. _ than ours. it's a really interesting one to follow. good _ than ours. it's a really interesting one to follow. good to _ than ours. it's a really interesting one to follow. good to talk i than ours. it's a really interesting one to follow. good to talk to i than ours. it's a really interesting j one to follow. good to talk to you this evening. one to follow. good to talk to you this evening-— around the world and across the uk, this is bbc news. bbc news — bringing you different stories from across the uk. back to school — it should have been a smooth start to the new term, but this pupil ended up here in the sports hall. pupils claim they had to sit without food or drink for a few hours, all because they were wearing the wrong shoes — and their parents aren't happy about it. i am absolutely horrified. after everything a lot of these students have lived through, with covid and not being able to learn in a school environment around their peers, it's just incredibly disappointing that they couldn't all have returned to school on tuesday, had a welcome—back assembly, and then, any uniform violations, maybe sent home on a note. hertford high's uniform policy was updated in april. it says all pupils have to wear the correct clothes and plain black shoes — and they've issued a list of the shoes that are banned. well, we did approach hartford high school for an interview, but they declined. they did, however, issue a statement saying that their uniform policy, along with other schools, ensures that students feel part of the community, reducing peer pressure and helping to prevent bullying. welcome back. the titans of big tech are on capitol hill today to talk artificial intelligence. it's the first meeting of its kind, in which the senators will hear from the likes of mark zuckerberg, elon musk, bill gates, and sam altman, among others. they are brainstorming. the lawmakers ever more conscious they are falling behind in their efforts to regulate the fast—moving technology. the cameras were allowed in before the meeting, but were not privy to the conversation — a move that was opposed by senator elizabeth warren. "these tech billionaires want to lobby congress behind closed doors with no questions asked," she said. "that's plain wrong". let's hearfrom kim simmonds, lawyer, ai & tech specialist. kim, good to see you. is elizabeth warren wright, should we hear open debate about the threats and opportunities from al?- debate about the threats and opportunities from al? well, i think there's a few _ opportunities from al? well, i think there's a few things _ opportunities from al? well, i think there's a few things here. _ opportunities from al? well, i think there's a few things here. the i there's a few things here. the meeting it provides at the moment a essential platform for tech and policy makers to come together. it is critical they are engaging to ascertain exactly how to support innovation whilst protecting the use of ai through policies and regulation. it is a closed meeting for now, but i think the key components need to be talked about with these tech leaders and policy leaders in a closed forum for now. the prime minister here is calling for a world summit on this in november — do you see what's happening today as part of that conversation, do you think governments will swap ideas and help each other, or are they moving into their own spheres and one government wants to get head up on another? it's an interesting one because i do think whatever comes out of this particular meeting will i think start leading the way for a lot of the other countries, and certainly for the uk, we do tend to follow suit. so it'll be really interesting to see how the conversations materialise, and lots of the other countries coming around. but materialise, and lots of the other countries coming around.- countries coming around. but is there not a _ countries coming around. but is there not a danger— countries coming around. but is there not a danger given - countries coming around. but is there not a danger given that i countries coming around. but is i there not a danger given that these are mostly on the whole american tech giants?

well, in terms of whether it's stiffer or not, i think the i it's stiffer or not, i think the importance is that al is tending to be more global than it is in one particular country, and this is something we must remember, technology transgresses all these boundaries there. so i think that america does have a lead position with al businesses, they will have a vested interest in that — but ultimately, we will be catching up. this will be impacting the importance of ai businesses globally, so it's something to keep in mind. ., . , . in mind. from a personal persoective. _ in mind. from a personal perspective, could i in mind. from a personal perspective, could this i in mind. from a personal- perspective, could this impact in mind. from a personal— perspective, could this impact your?

no one knows what we should do right now." when you walk on the ground of derna, what you smell is the smell of corpses and what you hear is the screams of women and children. a once beautiful and vibrant city on the mediterranean has beenl transformed into a mass grave. those beaches that used to have children playing on them now- are spewing out the bodies of entire families, children and all. _ hello, you are watching the context. let's look at the situation in derna. it could stretch to 20,000 people killed in that flooding. there were bodies washing up on the beaches today, yet two rival governments in libya seem incapable to coordinate a proper relief effort. our panel this evening, bronwen maddox, director and chief executive of chatham house, and miles taylor, formerly chief
