00:00:17BBC News. The US and China dismissed dismissed calls for tighter controls
00:00:21controls on the development of artificial artificial intelligence, with President President Trump calling the warnings
00:00:24warnings a hoax. One of the co-founders co-founders of Anthropic tells the
00:00:28the BBC that AI companies may be be required to have
00:00:35May be required to have a compulsory kill switch to prevent prevent the technology from getting getting out of control. This technology
00:00:39technology is incredibly powerful. powerful. It is getting more powerful powerful by the day and the window
00:00:42window to act. When you have a small small number of companies that can can build it because it's still very
00:00:46very expensive, is so narrow. It
00:00:47It is a few years. We are in this
00:00:51this window now. Trump administration administration scraps rules aimed aimed at limiting pollution from
00:00:54from coal and gas power plants, and
00:00:57and marking a huge shift in US environmental
00:00:59environmental policy. And the TV's TV's biggest stars are gathering

00:01:18Hello and welcome to Newsday.
00:01:20US President Donald Trump has intensified
00:01:22intensified his attacks on technology technology leaders calling for more
00:01:25more regulation and a slowdown of of artificial intelligence development
00:01:28development in a barrage of posts posts on social media. President President Trump called the warnings
00:01:32warnings a hoax, saying the safety safety depends on a strong and smart
00:01:36smart president. Meanwhile, BBC spoke spoke with one of the co-founders
00:01:39co-founders of Anthropic who warned warned that AI firms must have a
00:01:43a compulsory kill switch to prevent prevent the technology spiralling
00:01:45spiralling out of control. Our economics economics editor, Faisal Islam has
00:01:49has our first report. The value of
00:01:52of tech companies fell around the the world today amid warnings about
00:01:55about the dangers of uncontrolled uncontrolled artificial intelligence.
00:01:57intelligence. We think it's the best best model we've made for complex.
00:02:00complex. AI giant Anthropic called
00:02:02called to slow down the AI race. race. A whistleblower and safety
00:02:07safety experts at the company said said there was a 1 in 10 chance or
00:02:10or higher that the technology could could kill all humans. Their boss
00:02:14boss is this man Jack Clark, a Brit Brit and founder of the company.
00:02:17company. Speaking exclusively to to the BBC from Silicon Valley. How
00:02:20How have you and your industry let let this happen? What's happened
00:02:24happened is the technology has got got substantially more powerful.
00:02:26powerful. And those risks which were were once academic or theorised,
00:02:30theorised, we can now see the early early signs of them. What do you
00:02:33you specifically think? Here is the
00:02:35the risk. It sort of swarms of AI
00:02:39AI taking over the internet, closing closing down power stations or wiping
00:02:42wiping out financial institutions. institutions. I think it's time to to sort of spell out what it practically
00:02:46practically means. The basic risk risk is how well do you fancy your
00:02:50your chances at being able to deal deal with the risks of a system that
00:02:54that is 100 times smarter than the the smartest person on the planet?
00:02:57planet? I think that your chance chance of dealing with that and getting
00:03:00getting out in a safe way is pretty
00:03:02pretty low. So high level you need
00:03:05need to control AI as a technology technology because you're making making things that might be smarter
00:03:09smarter than people, things that that are smarter than people could
00:03:11could be really, really, really dangerous. It raises the question question of some sort of kill switch.
00:03:15switch. I mean, have you guys got
00:03:17got one? Can you pull the plug? I
00:03:20I think most most labs have different different ways of being able to pull pull the plug. And yes, of course
00:03:24course we have systems in place for for this, but this is the kind of
00:03:27of thing that you want to feed into into the larger policy conversation.
00:03:31conversation. Should you mandate mandate that companies definitely definitely have a kill switch? And
00:03:34And is that kill switch verifiable verifiable by a third party? I think think that's the kind of thing that
00:03:37that society is going to want to to know and might want to eventually
00:03:40eventually pass rules around. But But it may already be too late. It's
00:03:44It's not too late and I don't believe
00:03:47believe that we're yet at this maximal
00:03:49maximal kind of danger zone. But But we are close enough that we need
00:03:52need to be taking this seriously seriously and having national level
00:03:56level public conversations about about it. The bosses of the rest
00:03:59rest of the industry have joined joined Anthropic from Elon Musk and
00:04:02and ChatGPT maker OpenAI, agreeing
00:04:04agreeing on some sort of slowdown. slowdown. President Trump, on the
00:04:07the other hand, did not, criticising criticising the company, saying fears
00:04:11fears were a hoax and that the only only control needed was him. We're
00:04:15We're seeing increasing calls for
00:04:18for nations to get together and establish establish some base rules around
00:04:21around this, and this has happened happened in the past with technologies
00:04:24technologies which we call dual use use that can be used for good and
00:04:27and ill. And let's not forget AI AI is going to deliver extraordinary
00:04:31extraordinary benefits to us, but but we need to be very alert to the
00:04:34the harms to. Right now, AI investment investment seems to be boosting the
00:04:38the UK economy and there are some some promises of AI cures for cancer.
00:04:42cancer. Jack Clark team, though,
00:04:43though, said unchecked the economic economic impact could be unprecedented.
00:04:47unprecedented. White collar unemployment. unemployment. When you put it all
00:04:51all together, is it really worth worth it? Does it cause you sleepless
00:04:53sleepless nights? What might happen?
00:04:56happen? I mean, of course we have have to get this right. I think if
00:05:00if we get this technology right,
00:05:02right, we are going to change the the world in so many positive ways.
00:05:06ways. We are going to genuinely change change the face of science, change
00:05:10change the face of healthcare. We're We're going to expand the frontiers
00:05:13frontiers of what you or I or any any of our children could ever do.
00:05:16do. And if we get it wrong, we are
00:05:19are going to massively disrupt the the economy immiserated people and
00:05:23and potentially cause harm. The message message that the world still has
00:05:26has choices over the pace of artificial artificial intelligence. But time
00:05:29time is running out. Faisal Islam,
00:05:32Islam, BBC News. China has also rejected rejected calls for tighter controls,
00:05:36controls, calling them, quote, fear fear mongering. President Trump and
00:05:39and Chinese leader Xi Jinping are are expected to discuss AI when they
00:05:42they meet later this month. Well, Well, for more, we can speak with with Scott Singer, co-director of
00:05:46of the China AI Initiative at Carnegie Carnegie Endowment for International
00:05:49International Peace. Scott, what what do you see as the stakes when when it comes to the AI race between
00:05:53between the US and China? This is
00:05:57is potentially one of the most consequential consequential technologies that has
00:06:00has ever been developed. There are
00:06:03are particular use cases at the frontier frontier of the technology. You know,
00:06:07know, we look to for example, in
00:06:09in April, the development of exceptionally exceptionally good cyber capabilities
00:06:12capabilities with Anthropic Claude Claude Mythos model and similar models
00:06:16models from OpenAI. And so having having those capabilities and being
00:06:19being able to integrate them into
00:06:22into your economy, into your military military and defence infrastructure,
00:06:25infrastructure, I think those are are some of the stakes that we talk
00:06:28talk about when we talk about the the race specifically to the frontier
00:06:32frontier of AI capabilities. And And what should we make then of the the likes of Jack Clark as we heard
00:06:36heard him there giving such stark stark warnings? It almost seems like
00:06:39like he wants someone else to take take control when he is. Is he not
00:06:42not in the best place to have these
00:06:45these sort of concerns? Sort of met
00:06:47met himself. Look, I mean, industry
00:06:51industry has a unique perspective perspective given that they're so so close to the technology, but ultimately
00:06:55ultimately it's the job of governments, governments, to my mind, to act in
00:06:58in the public interest. And so I
00:07:01I think really being like that public public interest in mind is just going
00:07:05going to be really critical to developing developing sound policies. We'll
00:07:09We'll Xi Jinping and President Trump
00:07:12Trump will be meeting later this this month in Washington. AI governance
00:07:15governance is set to be on the agenda. agenda. Is it realistically to expect
00:07:18expect some form of co-ordination co-ordination on this between the
00:07:21the two countries? Look, there are
00:07:23are some people that are calling calling for an international agreement
00:07:26agreement or a grand bargain. I don't
00:07:28don't think that's really in scope scope for, you know, the September
00:07:32September talks. What I think is
00:07:34is much more tractable is finding
00:07:36finding areas where the US and China
00:07:39China their own self-interest at
00:07:41at stake. And there are narrow areas
00:07:44areas where they could agree on. on. So I mean, we already exist in
00:07:48in a world where, you know, OpenAI
00:07:51OpenAI agents are able to, you know, know, break out of their sandboxes
00:07:55sandboxes and enter into the infrastructure infrastructure of a US company. What's
00:07:58What's going to happen when you know,
00:08:01know, a US agent enters into the the infrastructure of a Chinese company
00:08:04company or vice versa? And so I think think those are really the stakes.
00:08:07stakes. And when you have these potential potential cross-border crises, you're
00:08:11you're going to want to have, for for example, a channel to communicate
00:08:14communicate about that. And so even
00:08:15even just building that foundational foundational infrastructure now,
00:08:18now, I think is going to be really really important for both leaders leaders in the long-term. All right,
00:08:22right, Scott, we'll leave it there. there. But thanks so much for your your thoughts today. Scott Singer, Singer, co-director of the China
00:08:26China AI Initiative at Carnegie Endowment Endowment for International Peace.
00:08:29Peace. The US is scrapping rules rules that limit greenhouse gas emissions
00:08:32emissions from power plants, fuelled fuelled by coal and gas, marking
00:08:35marking a major shift in America's America's environmental policy. The
00:08:38The move is expected to face immediate immediate legal challenges, with
00:08:41with environmental groups warning warning it would come at a huge cost
00:08:45cost to the planet. Our White House House correspondent Bernd Debusmann
00:08:48Debusmann has the details. Well, Well, this is very much not a surprise. surprise. And it was first the administration
00:08:52administration first signalled it it would do it last year. But what what they've essentially done is
00:08:56is repeal Biden era rules governing governing greenhouse gas emissions
00:08:59emissions on power plants. And there's
00:09:01there's also a kind of companion companion proposal which would kind
00:09:05kind of strip the Environmental Protection Protection Agency's ability to regulate
00:09:09regulate greenhouse gas emissions
00:09:11emissions from power plants in the the future for climate change reasons.
00:09:15reasons. So that would mean that that subsequent administrations,
00:09:17administrations, the EPA wouldn't
00:09:19wouldn't have that power, barring
00:09:22barring legislation from Congress. Congress. This is very, very likely
00:09:24likely to be met with a legal challenge challenge almost immediately. So
00:09:27So it may ultimately be up to the the court system to decide whether
00:09:31whether this is implemented or not. not. I spoke with Phil Duffy, chief
00:09:34chief scientist at Climate Solutions Solutions and former climate science
00:09:38science adviser in the Biden administration. administration. Phil, what's the the most important thing we should
00:09:41should understand about this decision?
00:09:47decision? Well, the administration administration is taking this action
00:09:49action to encourage the use of the
00:09:52the dirtiest and most expensive way
00:09:56way to generate electricity right
00:09:58right now. Coal is not only the most
00:10:02most polluting fuel in terms of greenhouse
00:10:05greenhouse gases, but it also produces produces particulate pollution, which
00:10:08which over the years and decades
00:10:10decades has resulted in millions
00:10:12millions of excess deaths. Public Public health resource. Research
00:10:16Research shows. Yeah. So why are are they doing this then? What do
00:10:19do you see as sort of the driving driving factor for this? I mean do do you think this is part of perhaps
00:10:23perhaps the AI race that requires requires huge amounts of power generation
00:10:25generation as being part. Of it? it? The administration claims that
00:10:29that this will save money. And I I haven't dug into the numbers, but
00:10:32but they deregulated vehicle emissions emissions in February. And when they
00:10:36they did that, they claimed that that that would also save consumers
00:10:40consumers money. But if you dig into into those numbers, that assumption
00:10:43assumption that was based on an assumption
00:10:46assumption that gasoline prices would would decline to $2 a gallon. And
00:10:50And as we all know, in fact, the the administration policies have
00:10:54have driven up gasoline prices to to over $4 a gallon. So I would be
00:10:58be very sceptical of any cost savings
00:11:00savings numbers offered by the EPA. EPA. And what do you make of the
00:11:03the legal challenges that are expected expected to come? Do you think that
00:11:06that they stand a strong chance of
00:11:08of reversing this? I think the smart
00:11:11smart legal strategy is not to litigate.
00:11:15litigate. If this is litigated, it it will likely end up in the Supreme
00:11:18Supreme Court and it will give the
00:11:19the Supreme Court a chance to overturn
00:11:23overturn the 2007 decision in Massachusetts Massachusetts versus EPA, which is
00:11:26is the basis of EPA's legal ability
00:11:29ability to regulate greenhouse gases.
00:11:31gases. So my advice to litigators litigators would be just sit back
00:11:35back and wait if there is no litigation,
00:11:38litigation, a future administration
00:11:40administration can overturn and reverse
00:11:43reverse the rulemakings by this administration. administration. OK. So your advice
00:11:46advice then is to wait in the meantime, meantime, but will that have a significant
00:11:49significant impact on the environment environment then in the short-term?
00:11:53short-term? Well, I don't you know, know, in the case of coal. Coal is
00:11:56is already dying a natural death
00:11:59death because it's economically unfavourable
00:12:01unfavourable gas. On the other hand,
00:12:04hand, because of what seems to be
00:12:07be insatiable energy demand for AI
00:12:09AI data centres, gas is is enjoying enjoying somewhat of a resurgence.
00:12:12resurgence. So yes, this will unfortunately,
00:12:16unfortunately, I think will result
00:12:17result in increased greenhouse gas
00:12:20gas emissions from the use of gas. gas. And that's very unfortunate.
00:12:24unfortunate. And furthermore, if
00:12:26if the AI industry makes the massive
00:12:31massive investments in gas production
00:12:33production of electricity, they are are going to want to keep those gas
00:12:36gas plants running for decades in in order to recoup that investment. investment. All right, Phil, thanks
00:12:40thanks very much for your thoughts. thoughts. Phil Duffy, chief scientist
00:12:43scientist at Spark Climate Solutions.
00:12:45Solutions. Now Moscow has responded responded to accusations it deliberately
00:12:49deliberately targeted a Ukrainian Ukrainian train station shortly after
00:12:51after top Western officials passed passed through, saying Russian forces
00:12:54forces are operating across the entire entire territory of Ukraine and will
00:12:58will continue to do so. Our diplomatic diplomatic correspondent James Landale Landale explains why the incident
00:13:02incident could signal a further escalation escalation in Russia's war against
00:13:06against Ukraine. What all this has has illustrated is just at a very
00:13:09very basic level, is just how much
00:13:11much Russia has stepped up its attacks attacks on trains in Ukraine. There
00:13:15There is a pattern of escalation escalation here that has taken place
00:13:18place in recent weeks. We've seen
00:13:21seen greater attacks on business business infrastructure, on energy
00:13:24energy facilities, more round the the clock attacks, greater use of
00:13:27of fast attack drones. But now specifically,
00:13:30specifically, more trains are being being targeted. The head of Ukraine's
00:13:34Ukraine's train network said that
00:13:36that in August alone, 40 locomotives locomotives here in Ukraine were
00:13:39were attacked. And that's a lot of of trains in a very short space of
00:13:43of time. And that is the Russians Russians will be hoping will have
00:13:46have a real impact on the way the the train operates in this country
00:13:50country and what they hope it will will deter people from going on the
00:13:54the trains. So in other words, what
00:13:56what happened to that special diplomatic diplomatic train, that relative proximity
00:14:00proximity to a Russian attack might might be, you know, something about
00:14:04about the diplomats but also I think think reveals a bigger issue, which
00:14:07which is that these trains are being
00:14:09being hit in terms of the Nato response response to that attack and the fact
00:14:13fact that diplomats were almost caught caught up in it. And this attack
00:14:16attack on this train station very very close to the Polish border.
00:14:20border. It's getting inching closer closer and closer to Nato territory.
00:14:23territory. We had a broad reaction reaction from the international community community in Europe today essentially
00:14:27essentially saying, look, Russia's Russia's just trying to scare us. us. Don't worry too much. The head
00:14:31head of Nato, Marc Rutte, said, look,
00:14:33look, the response from Nato should should be more support for Ukraine.
00:14:36Ukraine. But what it has done is is it's triggered another debate debate about whether Nato should
00:14:40should actually change its rules
00:14:43rules and start actually intercepting
00:14:45intercepting Russian missiles and and drones, not just over Nato territory,
00:14:49territory, as happens now. But over over Ukrainian airspace as well.
00:14:53well. That's something that's not not allowed at the moment. There'd
00:14:55There'd have to be a unanimous agreement agreement by Nato members to do that.
00:14:58that. There's no guarantee of that that happening at all. There'll be
00:15:01be many members fearful of escalation escalation and the risks involving
00:15:05involving Nato in open conflict with with Russia. But a serious think
00:15:09think tank today said this is something something Nato should consider. The
00:15:13The foreign minister of Poland said said that he supported this idea
00:15:16idea of Nato being much more muscular, muscular, and I think that's a debate
00:15:20debate that's only just begun. More More ahead on Newsday, including
00:15:23including the United States confirming confirming that it has weapons deployed deployed in space in what's believed
00:15:27believed to be the first public acknowledgement acknowledgement of such capabilities
00:16:32for world questions. Nigeria truth,
00:16:32truth, trust and fake news on BBC
00:16:36BBC News. Live with BBC News. The
00:16:43The United States has confirmed for for the first time that it has deployed
00:16:47deployed weapons in space. A spokesperson spokesperson for the US Space Force
00:16:50Force said unspecified weapons were were in orbit that were capable of
00:16:53of defending against hostile adversaries. adversaries. A 1967 treaty banned
00:16:57banned weapons of mass destruction destruction in orbit. But since then,
00:17:00then, key powers including the US, US, Russia and China have been exploring
00:17:04exploring other capabilities outside outside the treaty. Well, for more
00:17:06more we can speak to Victoria Samson, Samson, chief director of Space security
00:17:09security and stability for Secure Secure World Foundation, a private
00:17:13private non-profit promoting secure secure and sustainable uses of outer
00:17:16outer space. Victoria, do we know know what kind of weapons that Space
00:17:19Space Force is talking about and
00:17:21and how exactly do weapons work in
00:17:23in space? We actually do not. He He was very clear on not to give
00:17:27give any details other than the fact
00:17:29fact that the US has on orbit counter counter space weapons. And so what
00:17:33what that means is hard to say. I
00:17:36I will say though, probably the kind
00:17:39kind that don't create trash on orbit. orbit. So they're not going to be
00:17:42be kinetic weapons just because US US policy has long been that they
00:17:45they will do what they call responsible responsible counterspace capabilities.
00:17:48capabilities. That is to say, not not create debris in orbit just because because that makes it more challenging
00:17:52challenging operating environment environment for them to work in. in. So my guess is probably something
00:17:55something along the lines of lasers.
00:17:57lasers. You know, or jamming or something something like that. But that's really
00:18:01really hard to say. There's all different different types of weapons. There's
00:18:04There's weapons that can physically physically attack another target, target, but then there's also weapons
00:18:07weapons that can get up close and and release objects at a low velocity
00:18:11velocity or high velocity, or jam jam with their broadcasting, or listen
00:18:15listen to what they're listening listening to, all sorts of things.
00:18:17things. So there's a wide range of of capabilities up there. But this
00:18:20this is the first time that any country country has acknowledged that they
00:18:23they have an actual weapon placed placed in space, which crosses a
00:18:26a line. Yeah. And what does it mean? mean? What do you make of the fact fact that last year President Trump
00:18:30Trump issued an executive order underlining underlining the Space Force's role
00:18:33role is not just defending assets assets but also could be used as
00:18:36as an attacking force. Well, I mean,
00:18:39mean, this is part of a general movement movement the United States has been
00:18:42been undergoing for roughly the past past several years, but really picked
00:18:45picked up in the past two years to to have a more active role for the
00:18:49the Space Force to become really, really, truly what they say are warfighters. warfighters. You know, the United
00:18:53United States says that space is is a warfighting domain. And I think
00:18:56think the Space Force wants to demonstrate demonstrate that they're not just just there in a service capacity,
00:19:00capacity, but they are active combatants. combatants. So I think this is part
00:19:02part of that. And then just largely
00:19:05largely as space becomes more important important for security reasons, there's
00:19:08there's more of an incentive for for adversaries to deny, degrade, degrade, disrupt, destroy or somehow
00:19:11somehow interfere with access to to or use of space. And so the United
00:19:15United States has decided that it it wants to handle it apparently apparently is through weapons in
00:19:19in response. But I think that's going going to lead to a whole host of
00:19:22of actions that could be really dangerous dangerous to US national
00:19:26security. Yeah. And with the US Space Space Force now admitting this, is is it reasonable to think that other
00:19:29other players like Russia and China China would also perhaps have weapons
00:19:32weapons in space as well? And if if not, would they now be considering considering it, given that the US
00:19:35US has admitted that they do? Well, Well, you know, my organisation puts
00:19:39puts out an annual report, a global global counter space threat assessment,
00:19:42assessment, and for years we've had had reports that Russia and China
00:19:45China are thought to both have space space based jammers. And I always
00:19:48always thought it was strange that that they would have in the United United States, but not so frankly.
00:19:51frankly. I don't think it's going going to inspire them. What I think
00:19:54think actually it could do is encourage
00:19:56encourage us allies and partners partners who are developing Counterspace Counterspace capabilities to actually
00:20:00actually say, oh, OK, the cool kids kids have weapons in space. We want
00:20:03want to be cool to Victoria. We'll We'll leave it there. But thanks
00:20:05thanks very much for sharing with with us your views. Victoria Samson,

00:21:37big winners are so far. Yeah, it's it's good to be here with you. Right
00:21:40Right behind me is the Peacock Theatre, Theatre, where it's all go. Television's
00:21:44Television's biggest stars are enjoying enjoying themselves, but so far we've
00:21:46we've seen quite an array. And you you know, if you'd asked me at the
00:21:50the start of the ceremony. Kind of of who I could have predicted, it's
00:21:53it's kind of gone that way. I mean, mean, Noah Wylie winning outstanding
00:21:56outstanding lead actor, of course, course, for the pet and the drama
00:22:00drama series category, best lead lead actress went to Jean smart for
00:22:03for her role in Hacks, which obviously
00:22:06obviously has been a five season season kind of run for her and she's
00:22:09she's won each. The Emmy for each each of those seasons. So that is
00:22:13is a record. We've also seen Welsh Welsh actor Matthew Rhys win for
00:22:17for The Beast in Me. He's, of course course also nominated for Widow's
00:22:21Widow's Bay. We've also seen Stephen Stephen Root when best Guest actor
00:22:25actor for Widow's Bay, beating out out Harrison Ford. A lot of people people thought that Harrison Ford
00:22:29Ford would be taking home his first first ever Emmy tonight. That's not
00:22:31not the case. Stephen Root took that that one away. So yes, all go here
00:22:35here and expect more winners to come come as the evening goes on. Yeah.
00:22:38Yeah. And Liam just talk us through through perhaps some of the big TV
00:22:40TV shows that are up for nomination.
00:22:42nomination. I've seen in the reality
00:22:44reality sector that the show The The Traitors has come home with a
00:22:48a win. Yeah. Traitors has come home
00:22:50home for a win hosted by Ellen Cummings. Cummings. Ellen has won Emmys before
00:22:53before for acting and now he's winning winning it for reality series. Traitors
00:22:56Traitors has obviously taken the the world by storm. Lots of different different countries around the world
00:23:00world have their own version of the the show now, so it really and truly
00:23:04truly is a phenomenon. Of course, course, the other big shows everybody
00:23:06everybody are talking about is Widow's Widow's Bay, which was a huge blow
00:23:10blow away hit over the last year
00:23:12year for Apple TV. Obviously The
00:23:15The Pitt with 25 nominations. It's It's pretty groundbreaking. Of course course Hacks as well. Those are really
00:23:19really the shows to be watching, watching, but you never know. You You never know the way that things
00:23:22things are going to go. But as I I say so far, pretty smooth sailing
00:23:25sailing in terms of the prediction prediction market. If you put some some money on it, you've done a good
00:23:29good job tonight. What else are you you looking out for? Do you have have any favourites you're rooting
00:23:32rooting for or you think are perhaps
00:23:35perhaps should be taking home a win. win. As I mentioned Harrison Ford
00:23:38Ford I was rooting for him. I mean mean the man he's a legend you know
00:23:42know won for his films his TV show show that he's done shrinking has
00:23:45has really taken people aback. You
00:23:47You know, it's a much more introspective. introspective. Harrison Ford than
00:23:50than the super kind of hero characters characters that we see him play on on screen. I would have liked to
00:23:54to have seen him take that win, but but Stephen Root is very well deserving deserving of that. Another thing
00:23:57thing to look out for today is the the 50th anniversary of Charlie's Charlie's Angels, which is going
00:24:01going to reunite three of the original original Charlie's Angels. It's crazy crazy that it's been 50 years of
00:24:05of that. Also, Sarah Michelle Gellar
00:24:07Gellar was on stage recently celebrating celebrating 30 years of Buffy the
00:24:11the Vampire Slayer. So lots of nice nice reunions happening here today.
00:24:15today. And yeah, you can't go anywhere anywhere in this area without seeing
00:24:18seeing a star. It's pretty surreal. surreal. Someone probably walked walked past us in the corridor back
00:24:22back there as we've been speaking. speaking. But yeah, this is the place place to be if you're a television
00:24:25television fan tonight, that's for for sure. Yeah, it's always the they they always like to celebrate sort
00:24:29sort of their own sort of nostalgia, nostalgia, I suppose when it comes
00:24:31comes to some of these award ceremonies. ceremonies. I've seen that Sally
00:24:34Sally field has just won for remarkably remarkably bright Creatures, another
00:24:37another very famous sort of film film star winning on the small screen.
00:24:41screen. Yes, absolutely. And it's it's amazing to see kind of these
00:24:45these legacy acts right? Coming back, back, you know, to give it another
00:24:48another round. And it's amazing. amazing. It just goes to show that,
00:24:51that, you know, you never there's there's never really an expiry date date in Hollywood. People seem to
00:24:55to think there are, but there are are people that have been around, around, you know, as I say, we're
00:24:58we're celebrating 50 years of Charlie's Charlie's Angels. There are stars stars that have been around Jean
00:25:01Jean smart for decades that are just just still giving the performance
00:25:04performance of a lifetime. I mean, mean, there's Harrison Ford, one one that I mentioned. I mean, it's
00:25:08it's critically his best work. So So yes, there's no expiry date. There's
00:25:11There's no age date. Liam. It's fascinating fascinating to see who else takes takes home the prizes. Thanks so
00:25:15so much for getting us up to speed speed with that. Liam McEwan, entertainment entertainment journalist for The
