00:01:03on the Iran war, a possible breakthrough breakthrough in negotiations to reopen
00:01:07reopen the Strait of Hormuz. Reports Reports suggest Iran and Oman are
00:01:10are close to an interim deal that that would create defined shipping
00:01:14shipping routes through one of the the world's most vital maritime choke
00:01:18choke points. If an agreement is is confirmed, it may ease the pressure pressure on energy supplies, but
00:01:21but it could also mean Iranian authorities
00:01:24authorities would exercise some sovereign sovereign control over the strait
00:01:27strait for the first time. Let's Let's talk to Niko Kelbakiani, an
00:01:30an Iran specialist at BBC Monitoring. Monitoring. Hello to you, Nico. What
00:01:34What information do you have about about this possible deal? Well, the
00:01:38the Iranian officials are saying
00:01:40saying that that yes, they are in
00:01:43in the final stage of a deal with
00:01:46with Oman about the arrangements arrangements of in the Strait of of Hormuz and the shipping routes
00:01:49routes there. However, they maintain
00:01:52maintain that this doesn't mean that that the doesn't mean the reopening
00:01:56reopening of the Strait itself, because because they say that this depends
00:01:59depends on the US actions. They say say that the strait is closed because
00:02:03because of the US Israeli war with with Iran and their hostilities.
00:02:07hostilities. Their hostility with with Iran. So what they want is actually
00:02:11actually the lifting of the US blockade
00:02:13blockade and also, so that the US
00:02:16US allows the sale of Iranian oil, oil, on the international market
00:02:19market and also unfreezing of some some of the blocked Iranian assets,
00:02:23assets, basically the points that
00:02:25that were in the memorandum of understanding
00:02:28understanding that Iran and the US
00:02:30US signed in, in June. So, that's
00:02:33that's kind of an additional point point that the Iranian officials
00:02:36officials are making that, yes, they they are making these arrangements
00:02:39arrangements with Oman. But, to reopen
00:02:42reopen the strait in the in its full
00:02:44full force. They need these concessions
00:02:47concessions from the US. And if you you also watch Iranian media, there
00:02:51there are some disagreements also also within especially the hardliners
00:02:55hardliners who call, who doesn't doesn't believe in any of this as
00:02:58as they say, us false promises. And
00:03:00And they maintain that Iran should should continue closing the Strait
00:03:04Strait of Hormuz because it's the
00:03:06the because it's Iran's main leverage
00:03:08leverage against the US. Basically
00:03:11Basically to kind of control, the the global shipping routes and, basically
00:03:15basically put this pressure on the
00:03:16the US to, for it to back off itself,
00:03:19itself, because they, they say that
00:03:21that even if, if Iran and the US,
00:03:25US, agree to a deal us might, not
00:03:28not fulfil its promises, as they they say, as they did it in previous
00:03:32previous instances. Nico we've also also been hearing from the President,
00:03:35President, Masoud Pezeshkian, saying saying that communication with the
00:03:38the Supreme leader, the new supreme supreme leader, Ali Khamenei, is
00:03:42is difficult. What's being said about
00:03:44about that? Yes. Mojtaba Khamenei Khamenei hasn't been seen in public
00:03:47public since March when he was elected
00:03:50elected as the elected as the successor successor to his father, Ali Khamenei,
00:03:53Khamenei, who was killed on the first first day of the war. And very few
00:03:56few people have said that they met met him including one of them was
00:04:00was Pezeshkian and another one was was senior military commander. That
00:04:03That was back in back in spring. spring. And it's believed that he's
00:04:07he's maybe hidden in a very secure
00:04:09secure location. And no verifiable verifiable image of his has been
00:04:13been produced. No audio or video, video, messages has been published.
00:04:16published. He has only communicated
00:04:18communicated through his, through through written statements, and Pezeshkian
00:04:22Pezeshkian also said that he his his in his interview yesterday that
00:04:26that yeah, the communications with with him is very difficult, but he
00:04:30he also warned not to, misinterpret
00:04:33misinterpret his remarks. For example,
00:04:36example, how many, said in his statement
00:04:39statement that he was in principle principle against an MOU with the
00:04:42the US in June, but, but he agreed
00:04:45agreed to agree to it after Pezeshkian
00:04:47Pezeshkian showed him that he would
00:04:50would be ensuring Iranian interests interests in the talks with the US.
00:04:53US. And these comments were seized
00:04:55seized by hardliners to attack. The The President and the negotiating
00:04:58negotiating team that they were conceding
00:05:00conceding too much with the US and,
00:05:03and, that, actually, the supreme supreme leader was against such comments
00:05:07comments and president warned that
00:05:10that actually, the supreme leader,,
00:05:13leader,, respected the expert opinion
00:05:14opinion and the majority of the Supreme Supreme National Security Council
00:05:18Council voted for the MOU for signing
00:05:20signing the MOU and only one person
00:05:23person out of 13 was against it. it. So, but yeah, thank you very
00:05:26very much. All right, Nico, thank thank you very much. Niko Kelbakiani,
00:05:30Kelbakiani, Iran specialist at BBC
00:05:31BBC Monitoring. Thank you. Shares
00:05:34Shares in the Google owner alphabet alphabet have been falling after
00:05:36after a shake up at the top of the the company's AI business. Demis
00:05:40Demis Hassabis, CEO of Google DeepMind
00:05:42DeepMind is set to become chief scientist
00:05:45scientist at alphabet. It comes as as four of Google's AI researchers
00:05:48researchers announced they were leaving leaving to start their own company.
00:05:51company. Here's our North America America business correspondent Samira
00:05:53Samira Hussain. Google is under immense
00:05:56immense pressure as it competes with
00:05:58with the likes of Anthropic and OpenAI.
00:06:01OpenAI. It is why this big shake
00:06:03shake up of their AI leadership has
00:06:05has investors just so nervous. There There are worries that alphabet has
00:06:09has actually fallen behind in the
00:06:12the AI race, even though it created
00:06:14created some of the key technologies technologies that are underpinning
00:06:18underpinning current AI models. Now Now also remember like other tech
00:06:21tech firms, Google continues to spend spend big on AI data centres and
00:06:25and such to the tune of somewhere
00:06:30somewhere between 195 to $205 billion. billion. That's an awful lot of money
00:06:33money to spend on a division of a a company that is going through such
00:06:36such a massive shake up. Samira Hussain
00:06:39Hussain Africa's richest man Aliko Aliko Dangote has told the BBC about
00:06:43about his plans to build a new oil
00:06:46oil refinery in Kenya, which he says
00:06:47says will help African countries
00:06:50countries become energy self-sufficient. self-sufficient. Nancy Kacungira Kacungira caught up with him in Lagos
00:06:54Lagos and began by asking him how how advanced the plans for the refinery
00:06:57refinery are. The plans have actually
00:07:00actually gone very far with Kenya
00:07:04Kenya and because what we are trying trying to do really is to try and
00:07:07and make sure that, you know, most
00:07:10most African countries we make them
00:07:15them self-sufficient in their own,
00:07:17own, you know, energy needs, energy
00:07:19energy needs fertiliser. And so going
00:07:23going back to your question, how how far have we gone? We've gone
00:07:26gone very far. And I think by latest
00:07:31latest by October we'll be doing,
00:07:35doing, groundbreaking once we break
00:07:37break ground, we will start the construction
00:07:40construction very soon. We are really really planning something very big
00:07:44big within the African continent continent and a lot of people say,
00:07:47say, OK, well, does the refinery refinery in East Africa, does it
00:07:50it make sense? But it makes a lot lot of sense because the refinery
00:07:53refinery is not only for Kenya. That's
00:07:56That's why we are calling it East
00:07:59East African refinery. You know,
00:08:02know, so that can serve a lot of
00:08:04of countries up to even Egypt. How How much do you expect the East African
00:08:08African refinery to. I think we. we. Thought it was going to cost
00:08:11cost 17 billion, but it's going to to cost much. It will cost less than
00:08:14than that. We are looking at about
00:08:17about 15.5, $16 billion. Why will
00:08:19will it cost less than you originally
00:08:21originally anticipated? Because this this one will be faster. So in terms
00:08:25terms of financing costs will be
00:08:27be less. And then also you know,
00:08:32know, we are wiser as a company then
00:08:34then that when we built this one one because we are just learning
00:08:38learning when we built the one here. here. So that is really what is helping
00:08:41helping us. So in terms of timing,
00:08:44timing, we'll be able to build in
00:08:46in less than four years. So the location
00:08:48location is decided. What about the the financing. Are you looking at
00:08:52at cash debt equity. Yeah.
00:08:56Well. At. All that you know equity equity and debt. So 30% is going
00:08:59going to be equity. And then, 70%
00:09:0470% will be debt. But we know we we don't have any problem raising
00:09:07raising the money. So what do you
00:09:10you see as the impact that this refinery refinery could have on energy security?
00:09:14security? It's going to have a massive
00:09:16massive impact really. And then also
00:09:18also it guarantees the countries countries getting their own products.
00:09:21products. They are not going to live live hand-to-mouth. You know, they
00:09:24they are leasing. And then, you know, know, the refinery is there. It's
00:09:27It's for them. On the BBC website.
00:09:31website. Now AI is proving to be be a useful tool in tackling this
00:09:34this summer's record. Wildfires in
00:09:35in Europe, coupled with satellite satellite imagery, artificial intelligence
00:09:39intelligence models are helping emergency emergency services to detect fires
00:09:43fires earlier and forecast how they'll
00:09:44they'll spread. We've been speaking
00:09:47speaking to doctor Axel Ronick of
00:09:49of OroraTech, which helped develop develop Greece's first national wildfire
00:09:53wildfire detection system. He's been
00:09:54been telling us how it works. So
00:09:57So from space we can continuously
00:10:00continuously monitor fires with satellites
00:10:03satellites that measure infrared.
00:10:05infrared. So we measure heat rather
00:10:08rather than visible smoke or flames.
00:10:09flames. And we scan the Earth's surface
00:10:12surface surface. Looking for heat
00:10:15heat signatures frequently and globally.
00:10:17globally. So with that information information combined with weather
00:10:21weather vegetation and terrain data,
00:10:24data, our AI turns millions of data
00:10:27data points into a simple alert and
00:10:29and actionable insight like how the
00:10:32the fire evolves, where it goes.
00:10:34goes. And how important it is. Europe
00:10:36Europe is getting used to more wildfires. wildfires. It's probably going to
00:10:40to have to. Other parts of the world world are more accustomed to dealing
00:10:42dealing with them. And I wonder,
00:10:44wonder, is this part of that Europe
00:10:47Europe becoming more capable of managing
00:10:52managing wildfires? Wildfires need
00:10:55need to be detected earlier if you
00:10:57you want to if you want to act, on
00:11:00on a manageable size of the fire.
00:11:01fire. Once fires get beyond a certain
00:11:05certain size, there is no control. control. So the earlier you can detect
00:11:08detect a fire and even predict where
00:11:10where fires are likely to happen,
00:11:12happen, you can put forces on the the ground, be prepared and react
00:11:16react when the fire is still manageable. manageable. And this is where we
00:11:19we need to get to go. Obviously there's there's like also in the prevention
00:11:23prevention part that we need to do
00:11:25do things like, removing vegetation
00:11:28vegetation early enough, etc. Is
00:11:30Is there a risk that this kind of
00:11:32of technology could promote maybe maybe some complacency about climate
00:11:36climate change that we rely on technology
00:11:38technology to help mitigate its worst
00:11:41worst impacts? No, we are currently
00:11:45currently using in firefighting often often technologies that are, you
00:11:47you know, 100 years old and we just
00:11:50just need to catch up and use what,
00:11:52what, what we have at hand, to, battle
00:11:57battle wildfires, with the appropriate appropriate means. OK. And setting
00:12:00setting up systems and infrastructure. infrastructure. This is like roads
00:12:03roads and bridges and IT infrastructure. infrastructure. This is something
00:12:06something that every country should
00:12:07should have. The family of Meredith
00:12:11Meredith Kercher, the British exchange exchange student who was murdered
00:12:14murdered while studying abroad in
00:12:16in Italy in 2007, is calling for for the cancellation of a comedy
00:12:19comedy show being performed by Amanda Amanda Knox, Meredith's roommate
00:12:22roommate who was twice convicted convicted then acquitted of Meredith's
00:12:26Meredith's murder. Meredith was killed killed while studying abroad in the
00:12:30the Italian city of Perugia in 2007.
00:12:322007. She was found dead in an apartment apartment she shared with Amanda
00:12:35Amanda Knox. Amanda and her then then boyfriend Raffaele Sollecito
00:12:39Sollecito were initially convicted convicted of her murder and jailed, jailed, but both were later cleared
00:12:43cleared following years of court
00:12:46court proceedings. A third defendant, defendant, Rudy Guede, whose DNA
00:12:49DNA was found at the scene, was convicted
00:12:51convicted of murdering Meredith in
00:12:53in 2008. He was released from prison
00:12:56prison in 2021. Since being cleared cleared of any involvement in Meredith's
00:12:59Meredith's death, Amanda has told told her story a number of times
00:13:02times through books, documentaries documentaries and in a TV drama.
00:13:06drama. Meredith's family have spoken
00:13:07spoken in the past of pain that Amanda's
00:13:10Amanda's projects have caused them, them, arguing they overshadow Meredith's
00:13:14Meredith's memory. Amanda's new show show is due to take place at the
00:13:17the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. It's It's being described as a stand up
00:13:19up comedy show, referencing the time time she spent in jail in Italy and
00:13:23and how she has since tried to explain explain it to her young children.
00:13:27children. Meredith's sister Stephanie, Stephanie, told BBC Breakfast the the show makes light of violence
00:13:31violence against women and causes causes pain for the family. 19 years
00:13:34years on. The family, obviously it's it's very personal to us and affects
00:13:38affects her friends as well. Still, Still, obviously, you know it's left
00:13:41left a massive void in our lives
00:13:45lives and Amanda is naturally free
00:13:47free to continue with her life as
00:13:49as she wishes. But I think the problem
00:13:51problem with this particular project
00:13:55project is that it is comedy. And And whilst I appreciate comedy is
00:13:58is there to push the boundaries and
00:14:01and you know, it very much normalises
00:14:04normalises and trivialises violence violence against women and Meredith
00:14:08Meredith in particular. I think in
00:14:10in this case it's a position where
00:14:14where it's not a generic topic. It's
00:14:17It's targeting an individual traumatic
00:14:18traumatic case and an individual
00:14:21individual person and family. And
00:14:23And I feel very strongly that that that Meredith wouldn't agree with
00:14:27with that. And obviously I have read read certain comments that she's
00:14:30she's made that Meredith would have have found it funny. And Meredith
00:14:34Meredith absolutely wouldn't find
00:14:35find these topics of, you know, any
00:14:38any comedy value. Stephanie Meredith's
00:14:42Meredith's sister around the world
00:14:42world and
00:15:43he was their friend. Paul's heart-wrenching heart-wrenching stuff that made me me feel sick. The big cases, funeral

00:19:24in the 60s. She opened her door to to the BBC and gave us a tour. Take
00:19:28Take a look. I fell in love with
00:19:31with the house right off the get-go
00:19:34get-go and didn't know that it was
00:19:36was Neil Armstrong's boyhood home,
00:19:39home, though it was not advertised
00:19:41advertised as that out of personal personal preference, I wanted to
00:19:45to keep it like the Armstrong's had
00:19:46had it. We'll sign print. And these
00:19:51these were the guys out at the airport
00:19:53airport that he worked from. I've
00:19:56I've made hundreds of friends and
00:20:00and acquaintances by living here.
00:20:03here. I've met all kinds of people.
00:20:08people. Everybody from a student student wanting to do her thesis
00:20:11thesis work for college that did
00:20:13did a Neil Armstrong to people who
00:20:17who just wanted to be here. I love
00:20:21love this house, I really do, and and I'll always love this house.
00:20:24house. But it's time to let somebody
00:20:27somebody else have the opportunity opportunity to be as blessed with.

00:21:27Grand Central Station is one of
00:21:29my favourite New York City structures.
00:21:31structures. It's a glorious reminder reminder of the golden age of American
00:21:35American railroads. It also provides provides the setting for some early
00:21:39early scenes in what many people
00:21:40people regard as one of the greatest greatest American thrillers of all
00:21:44all time. The picture North by Northwest,
00:21:48Northwest, an American thriller, thriller, yes, but directed by a
00:21:51a British filmmaker, the master of
00:21:53of suspense Alfred Hitchcock. Top
00:21:56Top US film critic Bilge Ebiri told
00:21:58told me he's such an ardent fan of of North by Northwest that has seen
00:22:02seen the film at least 50 times.
00:22:05times. Do you know this man? Look
00:22:16Look North by Northwest from 1959,
00:22:181959, the pinnacle of Hitchcock's Hitchcock's American filmmaking career.
00:22:22career. Listen to me. I had nothing nothing to do with it. And also I
00:22:24I think it's kind of the pinnacle pinnacle of a particular kind of
00:22:27of studio filmmaking that Hollywood Hollywood specialised in. Automatically
00:22:31Automatically means a rising sales sales curve. North by northwest follows
00:22:34follows an ad executive named Roger
00:22:35Roger Thornhill, played by Cary Grant,
00:22:39Grant, Who is mistaken for a spy
00:22:42spy by some nefarious figures, and and they're convinced that he's this
00:22:46this other person and they try to
00:22:48to kill him and he winds up going
00:22:53going on this cross-country adventure
00:22:54adventure trying both to prove his
00:22:57his innocence and to flee from the the authorities. North by northwest
00:23:00northwest had a huge impact on me me because in some way it treats
00:23:04treats a lot of Hitchcock's deeper
00:23:05deeper themes about guilt and accusation,
00:23:08accusation, while also framing it
00:23:11it within this incredibly exciting, exciting, delightful, charming adventure
00:23:15adventure plot. Well, here we are
00:23:18are again. Yes. One of the most famous
00:23:21famous sequences in this film is
00:23:22is the crop sequence. It occurs about
00:23:26about halfway through the film. Cary Cary Grant's character has been told
00:23:29told that he's going to meet somebody somebody out in the middle of nowhere
00:23:32nowhere on this highway. Road. There's There's nobody around for miles and
00:23:36and miles of flat, blank expanse.
00:23:38expanse. And then, of course, he
00:23:41he sees this little plane appearing appearing in the distance, you know,
00:23:44know, dusting crops and you realise realise that the plane is there to
00:23:47to kill them. They start to fire
00:23:53fire at him and he runs away. It's
00:23:55It's an incredible sequence when
00:23:58when I think about what makes American
00:24:01American cinema so special. I have
00:24:04have to think about the Hollywood Hollywood system and the kinds of
00:24:07of films it made possible, the kind kind of scale it made possible, the
00:24:11the kind of stardom, the kind of
00:24:13of charm it made possible. And to
00:24:16to me. North by Northwest really really kind of stands at the very
00:24:20very top of that. You know, it is
00:24:22is Hollywood firing on all cylinders,
00:24:25cylinders, maybe for one of the very
00:24:27very last times. It's a great example
00:24:31example of a studio film. It's a a great example of a master filmmaker
00:24:35filmmaker at the height of his powers powers in the studio system, working
00:24:38working with one of the great stars stars of the studio system to create
00:24:42create something so beautiful and
00:24:45and so magnificent, right as the the studio system is essentially
00:24:48essentially about to collapse. But But the thing that they create together
00:24:52together becomes this work that is is so influential and that winds
00:24:56winds up influencing all the filmmakers filmmakers that come after not just just American filmmakers from all
00:25:00all over the world. Well, if we ever ever get out of this alive, let's
00:25:03let's go back to New York on the
00:25:04the train together. All right. Is
00:25:07Is that a proposition? MUSIC
00:28:50MUSIC
00:28:59What new industries are created. Because what we've seen seen throughout history is new industries
00:29:04industries are created and it's that that process that actually opens
00:29:06opens new doors. That was the that
00:29:09that was the mandate from Prime Minister Minister Starmer. He wants the UK
00:29:12UK to be an AI superpower. He recognises
00:29:16recognises that the ingredients are are all right here. Putting the customer
00:29:19customer at the centre of everything everything we do. I really think think that's how the company started,
00:29:23started, but I think we lost our our focus because we got a little
00:29:26little too distracted on efficiency
00:29:30efficiency and technology. AI is
00:29:33is real AI and total pay off just just like cars in total paid off
00:29:37off TV and total paid off. But most
00:29:39most people involved didn't do well.
00:29:41well. It's a revolutionary, you know, know, time upon us. And I think,
00:29:45think, you know, all industries will will be adopting AI in some shape
00:29:48shape or form.
