And they expect to face far weaker Russian Defences ahead. Ukraine says its forces are making gains in the south of the country, and has recently expanded its units towards the strategic town of tokmak which is a Logistical Centre for russian forces. Last week, ukraines military said it had captured the village of robotyne in the zaporizhzhia region, amid a counteroffensive that is yielding incremental gains. Sources in the Ukrainian Army have confirmed the breakthrough to the bbc. An adviser to president zelensky, aleksander rudnyansky, explained the significance for kyiv s forces. Weve been waiting for this moment for quite some time. Weve been hoping that we would pierce through the Russian Defence line, the first defence line, which was the hardest to pierce through, if you believe Military Experts when they talk about it. So hopefully now, when we reach the second and the third lines of defence that the russians have established, those will be easier to essentially overcome. And p
20 something,. My life is often consumed by illness. 1,000 people are born every day in africa with sickle cell. I have sickle cell disease. Up to 90 of us died before the age of five. Our government do little to help us. And im advocating to those in power to change that. Even in our own communities, people with sickle cell are often treated like an outcast because of misconception and stigma surrounding the disease. I am putting my life on the line to fight this deadly disease. And to dispel the myths that surround it. Sickle cell is not witchcraft, it is not. It is something that we can solve. The abnormal Red Blood Cells in my body affect my oxygen levels. One of the biggest problems with sickle cell is oxygen. Like, if you dont have sufficient oxygen so you can only push your body via for a good number of days before you need to really rest. They were telling people, this girl has sickle cell. Id been raising awareness about the devastating impact of Sickle Cell Patients and famil

Entirely written by a human, so whats going on . Today, were dedicating the whole programme to these questions. With me are Madhumita Murgia, Artificial Intelligence editor at the Financial Times, sky news science and technology editor, tom clarke, eliz mizon, from Independent Media Cooperative the bristol cable, as well as jackson ryan, Science Editor at cnet. Welcome to you all. And i think we should start with the basics. Madhu, if i could bring you in, from the Financial Times, explain what we mean by aland why, particularly in terms of the role ofjournalism it has, why its getting so much coverage now. Well, so, ai is Artificial Intelligence and, i mean, supposedly its a mechanical computer version of human intelligence, or at least thats the hope, right . But today, what we have is, its basically a powerful statistical system, a computer software, which finds patterns in large amounts of data. But what this means is that it can, you know, find diagnoses from pictures of x rays or

So hopefully now, when we reach the second and the third lines of defence that the russians have established, those will be easier to essentially overcome. And perhaps hopefully this is the spot, this is the place where we can now actually put all the modern nato technology, the tanks that weve been getting and the training that weve been receiving, put all of that to use, to our advantage. Hopefully, its the key moment. Again, well see what happens. Its hard to predict at any point, including at this point.
