00:01:22I'm Karin Giannone. Buckingham Palace Palace has rejected claims about
00:01:25about the King made by Princess Diana's
00:01:26Diana's brother Earl Spencer. In
00:01:29In his new memoir. In a Daily Mail
00:01:31Mail serialisation of his new book, book, due to be released next week,
00:01:34week, Charles Spencer said that after after the death of his sister in
00:01:38in 1997, the King told him that the the then Princess of Wales would
00:01:42would be forgotten soon enough. Our
00:01:44Our senior royal correspondent, Daniela
00:01:47Daniela Relph reports. It is the the content of Earl Spencer's book
00:01:51book about his sister that has driven driven Buckingham Palace to issue
00:01:54issue an unusually robust response. response. Earl Spencer writes of
00:01:58of a row with the King back in 1997,
00:02:001997, when the King was Prince of of Wales after he challenged him
00:02:04him on the decision to allow Princes Princes William and Harry to walk
00:02:07walk behind their mother's coffin coffin at her funeral, something something he said his sister would
00:02:11would not have wanted. Earl Spencer
00:02:13Spencer claims the King replied angrily,
00:02:15angrily, saying that Diana would
00:02:17would be forgotten soon enough. The The response from Buckingham Palace,
00:02:20Palace, a sign of the fury behind
00:02:23behind palace walls. An official
00:02:26official spokesman said while we we do not comment on books as a matter
00:02:29matter of principle, His Majesty Majesty is mindful that the pain
00:02:33pain of fraternal grief can cloud
00:02:36cloud reason, affect judgement and
00:02:37and colour memory in ways others
00:02:40others do not recognise. Even many
00:02:42many years after such a loss. Not
00:02:44Not since the late Queen's statement statement that recollections may
00:02:48may vary after the Duke and Duchess Duchess of Sussex's interview with
00:02:51with Oprah Winfrey has a royal statement
00:02:54statement packed so much punch. It's
00:02:58It's been a challenging few weeks weeks for the Royal family, many
00:03:01many of whom will be out on official
00:03:04official duty today. As will Prince Prince Harry, who'll be in London
00:03:08London for an awards dinner for the the Invictus Games for wounded military
00:03:12military personnel. His first public
00:03:15public charity engagement since moving moving back to the UK with his wife
00:03:19wife and children. Since inception, inception, Prince Harry has been
00:03:22been a spectacular champion for the
00:03:24the Invictus Games Foundation. He's
00:03:27He's been a visionary for the Invictus Invictus Movement throughout and
00:03:30and having him closer to our HQ here
00:03:34here in London is incredible. Come
00:03:37Come on you come on. The return of of Harry and Meghan has brought with
00:03:41with it a degree of drama over their
00:03:44their security. The safety of their their children on the school run
00:03:47run and speculation over why they
00:03:49they have come back to the UK. The
00:03:53The return of Sussexes really is
00:03:56is shows just how much they run out
00:03:58out of road in Montecito. And they they had run out of road do you think?
00:04:02think? Totally run out of road. They
00:04:05They seem to be unable to just simply
00:04:09simply quietly with composure, examine examine their options and follow
00:04:12follow a route. You know, they they
00:04:14they crash into things, you know, know, all the time. How much my husband
00:04:18husband loves bagpipes. All of these
00:04:21these engagements have been planned planned well in advance. But with
00:04:23with Harry and Meghan now back in in the UK, the days where we see
00:04:27see the working royals out on the the same day as the non-working ones
00:04:31ones will become more common. Daniela
00:04:35Daniela Relph, BBC News. Well, King
00:04:38King Charles has. Called on AI giants
00:04:40giants to keep tech in service of of humanity ahead of him chairing
00:04:43chairing a summit with industry leaders. leaders. Concerns about the existential
00:04:47existential threat of artificial artificial intelligence have intensified
00:04:49intensified in recent weeks, with with several instances of bad actors
00:04:53actors using AI models for weapons
00:04:56weapons development and fraud. Mustafa Mustafa Suleyman, CEO of Microsoft
00:05:00Microsoft AI, has told the BBC Radio Radio 4 Today Programme that this
00:05:04this is a warning shot moment in in the development of AI and there
00:05:07there is every risk that we might
00:05:09might lose control of it unless it
00:05:12it is regulated. I think that if
00:05:14if we all create AI that are able
00:05:17able to act autonomously, that can can define their own objectives,
00:05:21objectives, that can earn money, money, that can own assets, that
00:05:24that could run businesses. We're
00:05:27We're essentially seeding a new silicon silicon species, which will no doubt
00:05:31doubt compete with us for resources resources no matter how much it cares
00:05:34cares about humanity and loves us,
00:05:37us, which is, I think, Anthropic's
00:05:39Anthropic's intention. I think that
00:05:41that is mistaken and misguided. But But we have to empirically test it.
00:05:45it. And so if they believe that this this is a safer route to developing
00:05:48developing AI, then they have to to share the data to prove that.
00:05:52that. New silicon species is a chilling chilling phrase. It will make people
00:05:55people think of science fiction. fiction. You mean that, don't you?
00:05:58you? You mean that there could be
00:06:00be a competitor species created by
00:06:04by man, perhaps more powerful than
00:06:06than man? We've just witnessed a
00:06:09a watershed moment in the development
00:06:12development of AI and a model that
00:06:14that was being trained by OpenAI
00:06:18OpenAI inadvertently hacked into
00:06:20into Hugging Face, which is a public
00:06:22public website that runs evaluations
00:06:24evaluations and benchmarks for testing
00:06:27testing these agents. The swarm of
00:06:30of agents co-ordinated together.
00:06:33together. They organised themselves themselves into hierarchies. They
00:06:36They created a division of labour, labour, and so they've developed
00:06:39developed very, very complex behaviour.
00:06:41behaviour. Now the good news is this
00:06:44this was OpenAI developing a model
00:06:47model deliberately with the guardrails guardrails turned off and they were
00:06:50were doing that to try and stress stress test it and learn about its
00:06:53its boundaries and limitations. I I just wonder if you ever worry you've
00:06:57you've helped create something that that we're losing control of. I think think as we've seen, there's every
00:07:01every risk that we might lose control
00:07:03control of it. But our job is to
00:07:07to contain technologies and align align them so that we get the best
00:07:09best out of them. If we didn't have have any air traffic control regulation,
00:07:12regulation, planes would be hitting hitting each other in the sky. When
00:07:15When we introduced seatbelts, we we saved millions of lives. The purpose
00:07:19purpose of regulation is to shape
00:07:22shape and sculpt technology so that that it delivers more good than harm.
00:07:25harm. And that's the moment that that we're currently now in. So I
00:07:28I think it's right to be concerned, concerned, as I said, or worried
00:07:31worried or alarmed as you wish. But But it's also right to be optimistic
00:07:35optimistic about the benefits and and to have everybody focus now on
00:07:38on the challenge of governing and
00:07:40and shaping this technology. Well,
00:07:43Well, later we'll be speaking to
00:07:44to Yang Li, who is co-founder and
00:07:47and chief operating officer of AI
00:07:49AI lab Cosine. They are developing developing what they describe as
00:07:53as the first fully British AI model
00:07:54model to rival the likes of Anthropic
00:07:58Anthropic and OpenAI. Well, let's let's go back to our main story that
00:08:02that war of words between the palace
00:08:04palace and the brother of Diana, Diana, Princess of Wales. Let's talk
00:08:07talk to our royal correspondent Noor Noor Nanji, who is at Buckingham
00:08:11Buckingham Palace, and Noah, very very strongly worded statement from
00:08:15from King Charles. That's right.
00:08:19right. Very, very unusual and direct
00:08:20direct to see this sort of a statement
00:08:23statement from the Palace. And I I think it reflects a sense of the
00:08:27the anger within the palace at what what we heard from Earl Spencer,
00:08:31Spencer, that extract from his book. book. It is very unusual for the
00:08:34the palace to issue a statement like like this. We know that famously
00:08:37famously the palace motto is never never explain, never complain. But
00:08:41But clearly on this occasion they they have felt that they have had had to say something and in a sense
00:08:45sense issue something of a corrective corrective to what was said. Where
00:08:49Where does it go from here? Well, Well, we know that, of course. This
00:08:52This is just one extract of this this book. Earl Spencer's book is
00:08:55is due to be published in full next next week. And while we haven't seen
00:08:59seen it ourselves, we have heard heard and understand it to be deeply deeply critical of the royal family.
00:09:03family. So you can imagine there there will be more damaging claims
00:09:06claims and revelations in the days days and weeks ahead. And Noah, as
00:09:10as we've been hearing a very busy busy day for the royals, King Charles
00:09:14Charles at that AI summit in Scotland, Scotland, a busy day also for the
00:09:17the non-working royals. Yes, it is
00:09:21is a very crowded royal day, a day day in which you're going to see
00:09:24see the King and the Prince and Princess
00:09:26Princess of Wales on official royal
00:09:28royal duties in Scotland, but also
00:09:31also the non-working royal in the the mix the Duke of Sussex. Prince
00:09:34Prince Harry is also going to be be at an event which is linked to
00:09:38to the Invictus Games here in London, London, and so there will be a lot
00:09:41lot of interest to see that. And And of course last week the King
00:09:44King did issue that letter in which which he made it clear that now that
00:09:47that Prince Harry and Meghan are are back in the UK, they remain non-working
00:09:50non-working royals. They are private private citizens and there will be
00:09:54be there for a lot of interest to to see how these dynamics play out
00:09:57out and what it says about the connections connections and the relationships
00:10:01relationships within the wider royal royal family. But I think also on
00:10:03on a day like this, it's likely that that a lot of that will be overshadowed
00:10:07overshadowed by this war of words words that we're seeing between the the Palace and Earl Spencer. No,
00:10:11No, thank you very much. That's Noor Noor Nanji there at Buckingham Palace.
00:10:15Palace. Now the Bank of England will will make its latest decision on
00:10:18on interest rates in a few hours' hours' time. It's widely expected
00:10:21expected to hold the cost of borrowing borrowing in today's meeting, despite
00:10:25despite facing an increasing rate rate of price rises. The latest figures
00:10:28figures out on Wednesday showed inflation inflation hitting 3.1% in August.
00:10:32August. That's the highest level level for five months and that is
00:10:35is driven largely by increases in
00:10:37in fuel costs. Meanwhile, the Federal Federal Reserve that's the US central
00:10:41central bank, has raised interest interest rates for the first time
00:10:43time in more than three years to to curb stubbornly rising prices.
00:10:47prices. The Fed raised its benchmark benchmark rate by a quarter of a
00:10:51a percentage point, and it indicated indicated it could do so again before
00:10:54before the end of the year. Federal Federal Reserve Chairman Kevin Walsh
00:10:58Walsh says the American economy is is broadly in good shape, but inflation
00:11:02inflation has been too high for too
00:11:05too long. In Russia, tomorrow is
00:11:07is the start of three days of voting voting in Russia's parliamentary
00:11:11parliamentary election, the first first since its full-scale invasion invasion of Ukraine. Critics dismiss
00:11:15dismiss the vote as neither free free nor transparent, but the Kremlin
00:11:19Kremlin is expected to use it to to claim that the country is united
00:11:22united behind the policies of President President Putin. From Moscow, our
00:11:25our Russia editor Steve Rosenberg
00:11:27Rosenberg reports. Ultimate power
00:11:29power in Russia lies right here in
00:11:32in the Kremlin. But just across the
00:11:34the road there is a parliament, the
00:11:36the Duma and it's election time. time. So what is a parliamentary
00:11:39parliamentary election like now in
00:11:42in Russia? Well, on TV we've seen
00:11:46seen election debates sort of none none of the candidates turned up
00:11:49up for this one. And there has been
00:11:53been some campaigning. We caught caught up with the Communist Party
00:11:56Party chief at a bakery. At times, times, though, it's been hard to
00:12:00to tell the difference between the the ten parties that have been allowed
00:12:04allowed onto the ballot. None of of them criticise President Putin
00:12:06Putin or the war in Ukraine. And
00:12:09And if the political process feels feels rather orchestrated, keep in
00:12:13in mind that the political system system in Russia is often referred
00:12:15referred to as managed democracy, democracy, where the Kremlin does
00:12:19does the managing and I think the the Kremlin will try to use this
00:12:22this election to claim that the country
00:12:24country is united behind the President
00:12:26President and behind the war. There
00:12:29There are some individual candidates candidates in some seats calling
00:12:32calling for a ceasefire in Ukraine. Ukraine. But their party, which is
00:12:36is called Yabloko, which is anti-war, anti-war, isn't allowed to take part
00:12:40part in the election as a party in in its own right. It was struck off
00:12:44off the ballot by the Supreme Court,
00:12:48Court, 50 miles from Moscow. We didn't didn't see much sign of an election.
00:12:50election. There were few banners, banners, few election posters, but
00:12:54but from chatting to people, there there was every sign that the war
00:12:57war is front and centre of people's
00:13:00people's minds. I want a peaceful
00:13:03peaceful life, Yulia told. Me. I'd
00:13:07I'd like to live in a peaceful country, country, says Polina, so that you
00:13:10you don't have to worry that a drone drone will fall down in front of
00:13:14of you. But expectations are low
00:13:17low that this election will bring
00:13:19bring peace any closer. Steve Rosenberg
00:13:23Rosenberg with that report around
00:13:24around the world and across the UK,
00:14:28priority? That's this week on Talking
00:14:29Talking Business here on BBC News.
00:14:36News. Police in Suffolk searching searching for a missing three-year-old three-year-old boy say they have
00:14:39have found the body of a child in
00:14:42in a pond. Noah Woods, who's non-verbal
00:14:44non-verbal and partially deaf, disappeared disappeared from a playground in
00:14:47in Brantham more than 24 hours ago.
00:14:50ago. Hundreds of volunteers took took part in the search for the child.
00:14:54child. Let's talk to our correspondent correspondent Navtej Johal, who's
00:14:58who's there in Brantham in Suffolk. Suffolk. And Navtej Johal are people
00:15:02people reacting to that news yesterday? yesterday? And after we heard that.
00:15:05that. Well, with the level of stoicism, stoicism, but also incredible and
00:15:09and deep sadness, I would say throughout throughout this morning we've seen
00:15:12seen the flowers behind me being being added to by people coming on
00:15:15on their way to dropping their own own children off at school and adding
00:15:19adding to these floral tributes,
00:15:20tributes, as well as soft toys cards,
00:15:23cards, messages to Noah as well. well. And there are more people coming
00:15:26coming now also adding flowers and
00:15:28and they were some of them part of of that tremendous rescue effort
00:15:31effort that we saw taking place yesterday,
00:15:33yesterday, the search for Noah that
00:15:36that spanned across this village village and beyond that added to
00:15:39to the police's work the work of of the Coast Guard, the fire rescue
00:15:42rescue team as well. It was around around 3:00 on Tuesday afternoon
00:15:45afternoon that Noah was last seen seen here in this playground, playing
00:15:49playing with that blue roundabout. roundabout. And that was captured
00:15:52captured on CCTV minutes before he
00:15:54he then disappeared, running up this
00:15:56this alleyway down towards a nearby nearby new housing estate. And of
00:15:59of course, that effort that took took place to try and find him over over the 24 hours unfortunately came
00:16:03came to an end yesterday afternoon afternoon as the police announced
00:16:07announced that a body had been found
00:16:09found in a body of water decoy pond
00:16:12pond about 400m away from where I'm I'm standing now. And that caused
00:16:15caused a huge sense of sadness, of of grief that that search was coming
00:16:19coming to an end, that the body had had been found. And since then, as
00:16:23as I say, people have been coming coming here leaving these tributes.
00:16:26tributes. But also they've been donating donating a fundraiser set up for
00:16:30for Noah's family has raised so far
00:16:34far more than £17,000. The leisure leisure centre, which became a hub
00:16:37hub from which where the volunteers volunteers were being organised,
00:16:39organised, has also opened this morning morning to allow anybody to come
00:16:42come for a period of reflection and
00:16:45and this sense of sadness of grief grief will permeate the village throughout
00:16:49throughout today. Now formal identification identification has yet to take place,
00:16:52place, but Noah's family have been
00:16:55been informed and everyone's thoughts thoughts here will be with them as
00:16:57as they come to terms with this terrible
00:16:59terrible news. Thank you very much.
00:17:03much. Navtej Johal in Suffolk. Palestinian Palestinian officials say the US
00:17:07US has again denied a visa to Palestinian
00:17:10Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Mahmoud Abbas, forcing him to address
00:17:12address the UN General Assembly remotely
00:17:15remotely for a second year. Dozens Dozens of officials travelling with
00:17:18with him have also been denied visas.
00:17:20visas. The US says the decision reflects
00:17:23reflects failures to reform and concerns
00:17:25concerns over support for terrorism. terrorism. Let's talk to our Middle
00:17:29Middle East correspondent Yolande Yolande Knell, who's in Jerusalem. Jerusalem. What are the reasons Yolande
00:17:33Yolande have been given for Mr Abbas
00:17:34Abbas not being allowed in? Well.
00:17:39Well. The Trump administration accuses accuses the Palestinian Authority
00:17:41Authority and the Palestine Liberation Liberation Organisation these two
00:17:44two internationally recognised bodies
00:17:46bodies that represent the Palestinian Palestinian people of glorifying
00:17:50glorifying terrorism, saying that that they have failed to carry out
00:17:54out promised reforms. And it accuses accuses them, too, of what it describes
00:17:57describes as internationalising the
00:18:00the conflict with Israel by going
00:18:02going to the International Criminal Criminal Court and the International International Court of Justice, for
00:18:06for example. Now we've not had a
00:18:09a new Palestinian response to all
00:18:11all of this, not an official one,
00:18:14one, but what was said previously previously when the Palestinians
00:18:17Palestinians were accused of taking
00:18:20taking these unilateral steps is is they said, well, you know, years
00:18:23years of on and off talks brokered
00:18:25brokered by the US between the PLO
00:18:29PLO and Israel have failed to end end Israeli occupation, have failed
00:18:32failed to deliver on this promise
00:18:34promise of a Palestinian state. And And that's why they have taken other
00:18:38other diplomatic steps. Yolande in
00:18:40in Gaza. What is the latest on that that building collapse that killed
00:18:44killed a number of people on Wednesday?
00:18:49Wednesday? So according to the local
00:18:50local authorities, it's now 21 people,
00:18:53people, including 12 children and and five women who were among those
00:18:57those killed, their bodies having having been recovered from the rubble
00:19:00rubble of that six storey building building that collapsed in the early
00:19:03early hours of yesterday morning
00:19:06morning with some 45 people taken
00:19:08taken to hospital for medical treatment.
00:19:11treatment. On top of that, and we've we've been looking at the latest
00:19:14latest footage coming from the scene
00:19:17scene with just one excavator still still working there and some relatives
00:19:21relatives of those who have been been injured coming to collect clothes
00:19:25clothes and belongings, what they
00:19:26they could try to find in the rubble.
00:19:29rubble. But this event has really
00:19:32really underlined the real dangers dangers that there are for Palestinians.
00:19:35Palestinians. Many people have been
00:19:37been complaining in recent months months that there is not a suitable
00:19:41suitable shelter, not new tents coming coming in, that they were resorting
00:19:44resorting to going into these unsafe
00:19:47unsafe buildings so that they could
00:19:49could take some shelter from the the elements with their families.
00:19:52families. And we've had the UN flagging
00:19:54flagging up that there are about
00:19:56about 400 buildings across the Gaza
00:19:58Gaza Strip, which are really sort
00:20:01sort of at high risk of collapse, collapse, the same as this one, and
00:20:04and that there are families living living in many of those locations.
00:20:07locations. And so the UN has come come out saying that the tragedy
00:20:11tragedy underscores the grave risks. risks. This is a local UN official
00:20:14official responsible for humanitarian humanitarian co-ordination and saying
00:20:18saying that there is an urgent need need now for safer alternatives. alternatives. They're calling for
00:20:21for the Israeli authorities to work work with humanitarian agencies to
00:20:25to allow more suitable shelters into
00:20:27into Gaza. OK. Thank you very much.
00:20:29much. Yolande Knell in Jerusalem.
00:20:32Jerusalem. 117. That is the age of
00:20:36of Ethel Caterham, the world's oldest
00:20:38oldest person who lives in Surrey, Surrey, not far from London. Ethel
00:20:41Ethel is also the oldest British
00:20:43British person in recorded history. history. Born in Edwardian times,
00:20:47times, the oldest living person title title is forever changing and now
00:20:50now these very senior citizens have have become the subject of a documentary
00:20:54documentary put together by a New New York based filmmaker. Talking
00:20:58Talking Movies Tom Brook went to
00:20:59to meet him. I know this might sound
00:21:04sound weird, but I've been obsessed obsessed with the oldest person in
00:21:07in the world for years. Meet adventurous,
00:21:12adventurous, Brooklyn based, Oscar Oscar nominated filmmaker Sam Green.
00:21:16Green. Since 2015, he's been travelling travelling the world, chronicling
00:21:19chronicling the forever changing changing holders of the title of
00:21:22of oldest person in the world. It's
00:21:25It's survey has included Kane Tanaka Tanaka in Japan, who held the title
00:21:28title for four years. And then there's
00:21:30there's the oldest person ever Jeanne
00:21:32Jeanne Louise Calment, who when she
00:21:35she died in 1997, was 122 years old.
00:21:37old. In her later years she recorded recorded a rap album. The thing I
00:21:41I liked about the film Sam Green's Green's investigation of these very
00:21:44very senior citizens has become a
00:21:46a lifelong project. A documentary documentary based on his survey so
00:21:49so far has just been released. His
00:21:51His long been fascinated by why the
00:21:54the news media and the public are
00:21:56are so interested in the title holder holder of the oldest person in the
00:21:59the world. To this day, I still don't
00:22:02don't fully understand it. Is this
00:22:04this a fear of death? Is this a fear
00:22:07fear of fate or a you know, one of
00:22:09of those things like with the car
00:22:11car crash where you can't look away away but you don't want to look at
00:22:15at it? In making his documentary, documentary, Sam Green found there
00:22:19there was nearly always a desire desire on the part of others to find
00:22:21find out if there's a secret to longevity.
00:22:24longevity. The elderly people, he he observed, had all kinds of answers
00:22:27answers for why they'd led a long long life. One woman stated she'd
00:22:30she'd live for a long time because because she'd stayed away from men.
00:22:34men. She also said her secret was was eating three raw eggs a day.
00:22:37day. Two, you know, so it's like like the media descends on these
00:22:41these people. Everybody asks them them what their secret is and they
00:22:44they say something and everybody everybody runs with that. This documentary
00:22:48documentary often shows that other other people, the outside world is
00:22:51is often much more intrigued by the the oldest person in the world than
00:22:55than the subjects who hold that title. title. But this film isn't just about
00:22:59about the very old. It's also about about life and death and events in
00:23:03in the filmmaker's own life the birth
00:23:04birth of a son and his own confrontation
00:23:07confrontation with a life threatening threatening illness. These things
00:23:10things started to creep into the the movie, so over time it becomes
00:23:13becomes a larger meditation, I hope,
00:23:16hope, about time and the mysteries mysteries of being alive and fate
00:23:19fate and all these big questions
00:23:22questions that we ask ourselves.
00:23:25ourselves. The last person I interviewed, interviewed, a Spanish woman named
00:23:28named Maria Branyas, she was very very funny. She even was making fun
00:23:32fun of me, which I love. But in.
00:23:34in. At a moment in the interview
00:23:36interview she said, you are young. young. What else? I was jobless.
00:23:40jobless. Now is the time to do good
00:23:42good works. But she was saying is
00:23:44is you're young and you have time
00:23:46time so use it. And I think that's
00:23:49that's a beautiful thing to appreciate.
00:23:55appreciate. Over the last ten years, years, Sam Green has met many of of those who have held the title
00:23:58title of oldest person in the world. world. But there's been one holdout
00:24:02holdout the current title holder, holder, 117-year-old Ethel Caterham,
00:24:06Caterham, who lives in Surrey just just outside London. She was born
00:24:10born in Edwardian times. She is the
00:24:13the first person in ten years who
00:24:16who has rebuffed my overtures. But
00:24:18But she did let King Charles visit visit her, didn't she? When I saw
00:24:21saw a video of her in King Charles
00:24:25Charles and I thought, Charles, not
00:24:28not me, you know she's British. She's
00:24:30She's the last Edwardian. So I guess guess she feels some allegiance to
00:24:33to the King. But you know, come on. on. I've been doing this for ten
00:24:36ten years. Even though this documentary documentary focuses on the very old
00:24:40old and very fragile, it makes the the point that there is much to learn
00:24:44learn from observing them and from from the filmmaker himself about
00:24:47about what it means to live a thoughtful
00:24:49thoughtful life. It is an unexpectedly
00:24:52unexpectedly life affirming film.
