forensic architecture is an organisation that provides architectural evidence in internationalforums, in tribunals and international courts. we present evidence in. ..in the media and also in exhibitions. in fact, we are. we have emerged through an understanding that so much of contemporary conflict happened in cities. and when conflict happen in cities, buildings and built environment become evidence for the crimes that are committed by the belligerent, by the militaries in them. so you could read the building in an analogous way to reading a dead body. you read the wound, you read a trace, and you start to reconstruct what has happened in this place from traces left in a built environment. it s an unusual way to look at architecture. yes, i studied architecture here and um. in london? in london, at the architectural association, and realised that the skill set of architects, what we know, what we learn, the kind of abilities that we have to look at a built environment, to m
borisjohnson has said most pupils in england won t be returning to school, until march eighth at the earliest, meaning many more weeks of remote learning. mrjohnson said he was acutely aware of the pressures on parents. there was also a promise of more funding to help children catch up on missed learning, and extended support for children on free school meals. branwen jeffreys has been talking to pupils, teachers and parents in warrington. they move the sea creatures inland. only a third of pupils were in today, leaving year 6 spread out in class. their classmates not back for at least a month. we re not really used to having so many people in because of how long it s really been like this. i m looking forward to having everyone back in school, because i miss all my friends, and at least i ve got some of my friends here. everyone will- definitely be happier, harder than working in school, which i do know because last. week i think i worked . from home for two days. to help ki
international monetary fund and world bank have warned the global economy faces lower growth this year and next, after the recent global inflationary shock caused by russia s war in ukraine and the ongoing covid pandemic. the world bank cut its forecast for global economic growth this year by almost a percent to 3.2%, warning that high inflation would hit billions of people in the pocket. the imf believes rising global debt could lead to lower growth in developed countries by 0.9% over the next three years. the fund believes higher interest rates are likely to hit developing countries the worst. joining me now is pauljackson, who s the global head of asset allocation research at invesco. what do you expect to be the priorities in the imf/world bank spring meetings? i would imagine it is getting support to the poorer countries that will suffer from the rising inflation and perhaps offering more support to the countries that are immediately around russia, ukraine and belarus, b
bit of a different sort of day. we will see the arrival of spells of rain for some southern areas where we haven t seen rain for a while. further showers to come particularly across scotland, but in between some sunshine here and there. the reasonably light winds for most of us on thursday. still warm in the south east but high teens elsewhere and it looks like the cooling trend will continue through the end of the week and into the weekend. thanks, sarah. and that s it from us. newsnight with kirsty wark is just getting under way on bbc two. the news continues here on bbc one as it s time to join our teams as many as 1,500 artefects worth millions, and calls for the director to resign. how did the thefts happen again and again? this is not a good night at the museum. how could theft on such a scale happen? do you think their position is untenable? not really, ithink do you think their position is untenable? not really, i think if i had been untenable? not really, i think i
or african backgrounds out on the streets. being a young north african black or arab male in the estates, is intolerable for police. boys suffer abusive controlled racial profiling. now they are killing them. this is far from the first time this happens. i ve lived in france and i ve covered plenty of riots there. they re rarely as violent as these latest ones, and i ve seen for myself the way the french police deal with them with a ferocity that often shocks a mere anglo saxon. after the major riots of 2005, the police were given the kind of anti riot weapons which are banned in most european countries, and they use them. on average, the french police kill four times as many people as they did only 12 years ago. the gendarmes, as opposed to the ordinary police, are courier soldiers. they re allowed to use armed force more easily than the police are. and there s a lot less political control over policing in france than there is, say, in germany or britain. the police deny t
