00:00:00control we're willing to hand over to AI systems. AI
00:00:03safety was also high on the agenda at the United Nations
00:00:07General Assembly. A coalition of countries is now calling for
00:00:11mandatory safety testing to keep powerful AI under human
00:00:14control. What do you think? Could AI ever become a threat
00:00:18to humanity and start making major decisions its own
00:00:22or are those fears
00:00:24overblown?
00:00:27Is the internet dying because of AI? That's no
00:00:30longer a far-fetch conspiracy theory. Major tech companies
00:00:34confirm there is risk. Around
00:00:3635% of newly published English websites
00:00:40are already AI generated or assisted, according to a
00:00:44recent study. What happens when most of the internet is written by
00:00:48machines and AI starts learning from itself. Even if you
00:00:52don't read English content, the effects could reach every corner of
00:00:55the web. Can the internet die? The dead
00:00:59Internet. Theory makes a bold claim, bots and AI
00:01:03generated text are flooding the web to the point it becomes
00:01:06useless. Automated bots now generate more than
00:01:1060% of all web requests according to internet
00:01:13infrastructure giant cloud flare. And the pages
00:01:17these bots are scraping are increasingly AI
00:01:20generated. Nearly 10% of recent.com
00:01:24pages show clear signs of AI authorship
00:01:27according to pure research center. And here is: where it gets
00:01:30interesting, tech giants know this could become a
00:01:33problem. recently unsealed court documents show that
00:01:37executives at Microsoft and Open AI are explicitly
00:01:40aware of a potential doom loop triggered by their AI
00:01:44chatbots and search engines. Ironically, this Doom loop
00:01:48also endages Big Tech's current business model. At the
00:01:51moment, AI tools scrape human made articles and
00:01:55extract summaries. Users get answers without clicking on the
00:01:59original source. and big tech gets user data and
00:02:03anything will really change, some of add revenue, critics say AI risks becoming a
00:02:06parasite on the web, feeding on human created content while
00:02:10weakening the websites and creators, it depends upon. if that continues,
00:02:13AI could end up damaging its own food source.
00:02:16okay, but what does that mean for users? in the long
00:02:20run, this might make online information
00:02:23unusable. take the news, when you search for
00:02:26information online, there's a growing chance you're reading content.
00:02:30created by AI more and more publishers put out AI
00:02:33slop, they use AI to rewrite existing
00:02:36reports, but because AI is making mistakes, the results can
00:02:40include so-called hallucinations, errors and awkward
00:02:43phrasing, search algorithms, rewards, speed and
00:02:47volume, so this low-cost AI content often
00:02:50outranks original reporting, it's pulling readers
00:02:53and add revenue away from real newsrooms.
00:02:56eventually, AI models will end up retraining on these
00:03:00AI generated news articles, locking us into a
00:03:03feedback loop that permanently degrades the web, because
00:03:07most AI models are trained primarily on English
00:03:10data, this gets even worse for other languages. when flawed
00:03:14English articles get auto-translated into Urdu,
00:03:17Spanish or Hindi, it leaves even more room for hallucinated
00:03:21errors and dangerous inaccuracies. So
00:03:25what can you do to stay well-informed? First,
00:03:28don't blindly trust. convenient AI search
00:03:31summaries, if you use them, click through to primary
00:03:34sources, verify who wrote the piece and then
00:03:38double check the information. second, support human
00:03:42journalism, consider subscribing to local paper
00:03:45or supporting journalists in your town before the real
00:03:48creators give up. what's your take on the dead internet
00:03:52theory? is the web dying or is it just
00:03:55changing? let us know in the comments
00:03:57and
00:03:59billion dollar settlement, bad news for Mata,
00:04:03big news for you. This could change social media as we
00:04:07know it. For years, Mata and other social media
00:04:10companies have been accused of addictive design, building apps
00:04:13to keep users scrolling for as long as possible, but
00:04:17several weeks ago, Metta agreed to a landmark settlement and
00:04:21committed to new restrictions on teen accounts, at least in
00:04:25the US for now. Some experts see it as major victory, others
00:04:29argue it. go far enough, still, if Mata
00:04:32is forced to change, the rest of the industry could follow, but
00:04:36let's rewind a bit: the 18 billion dollar settlement, three years
00:04:39ago, 29 states in the US sued meta, alleging that
00:04:43its social media platforms were harming young users, and
00:04:47research backs this up, the World Health Organization
00:04:50surveyed almost 280,000 young
00:04:53people across 44 countries and regions in
00:04:56Europe, Central Asia and Canada.
00:05:00showed signs of problematic social media use, basically
00:05:04addiction like symptoms, those same kids reported worse
00:05:08mental wellbeing, but it's important to mention that's a
00:05:11correlation ( proof the apps cost it, then in
00:05:15August 2026, just as the case was heading to
00:05:18trial, meta agreed to settlement worth up to $18
00:05:21billion US dollars, plus meta has agreed to make significant
00:05:25changes that will reduce the risk of harm that instagram
00:05:29and facebook post to teen users. the settlement is being
00:05:32watched closely across the tech industry because it can
00:05:36influence how other platforms approach teen safety. this is what will
00:05:39change for teen users in the US. two hours
00:05:42accumulative time limit across instagram and
00:05:45facebook, no access to the apps from midnight to 6
00:05:48a.m. unless there's parental permission, notifications
00:05:52muted by default during school hours, except dms
00:05:56and security alerts, default settings to hide likes and beauty
00:05:59filters, plus the option to switch to a
00:06:02non-personalized feed, expanded parental
00:06:05controls. one thing to be clear about, meta denied wrong
00:06:09doing and liability, no court said meta is
00:06:12guilty, meta chose to stop the trial, what's
00:06:16interesting, meta turned their own punishment into
00:06:19pressure on their rivals. Metta's full 18 billion US
00:06:23dollar payout depends in part on whether its biggest rivals
00:06:27end up facing similar legal consequences. The
00:06:30settlement uh marks a change of strategy
00:06:34for meta, because there embracing
00:06:37the idea that they need to do more. They
00:06:40are appearing as... the industry leader, the author of
00:06:44reforms, and they want other companies to follow their
00:06:48lead. so will this affect you outside of the
00:06:51US? rules like these rarely stay in one country.
00:06:55building two different versions of Instagram is expensive,
00:06:58and regulators everywhere are watching closely. meta's
00:07:02board is put on notice that this is a critical risk for the
00:07:06company that it needs to continue to oversee, and if it doesn't,
00:07:10consequences may flow. still, critics are doubting,
00:07:15these features already existed, they just weren't switched on
00:07:19by default, and the new rules depend on meta
00:07:22knowing you're under 18, the problem with age verification,
00:07:26data from Australia's new under 16 social media band
00:07:29shows, age verification systems are difficult to
00:07:33enforce, meta says it has better way, and it's been running
00:07:36since before the settlement, an AI scans your photos
00:07:40and videos for physical science of
00:07:42age, your height or your facial bone structure. Then it
00:07:46cross-references your page. Did you post about your
00:07:49sweet 16? Are your friends all eighth grade? Meta
00:07:52insists this isn't facial recognition and that nobody is
00:07:56being identified. Privacy advocates are not
00:07:59convinced. So what do you think? Huge step or are
00:08:03you skeptical this will bring meaningful change? Let us know. And that's all
00:08:07from me today. Bye and see you next
00:08:09time.
00:08:20AI changes the rules of the game or has it already changed them? In AI
00:08:24central point, we discover innovations that push boundaries, from
00:08:28smart algorithms to technologies that are already shaping our
00:08:31future. Who is leading the race, who is lagging behind, and
00:08:35what does that mean for humanity? Don't miss

00:10:34There's eight homes in each arch and then there's there's 40 homes
00:10:37in total, so it's got a few arches with homes, but then there's
00:10:41also uh some outside spaces where we're going to grow food together, can
00:10:45go fishing in the canal, we've even keeping bees, there's a
00:10:48village hall, which is really the the center of what we do, it's
00:10:52where we teach people a sharp, to cook, to budget. 'we hold socials
00:10:55there, celebrate birthdays, have lot of fun together there. we've got a
00:10:59sports pitch and we're just developing a gym, boxing gym
00:11:03and also joinery workshop, and really these are all different-shaped
00:11:06excuses to spend time with the men that we care for here.
00:11:10it's about uh, 55% of people who are
00:11:14finally housed uh in council housing, they uh
00:11:17choose to go back to the street and they're saying it's because i was lonely and i felt
00:11:21overwhelmed at having to run at home for the first time, so what we do here is
00:11:25kind of practice run, running your own home without losing that
00:11:28community, we want to show people that they're loved, they're
00:11:32not just like, it's not just a job here or a project, we actually
00:11:36care about people, we believe God cares about people, we're like, let's
00:11:40build really smart homes with really nice gardens, good quality, not
00:11:44just anything, something to be proud of and to take care of, so that
00:11:47when they leave the village, they take that into
00:11:51their own homes, can we have look inside, yeah, I'll show you one.
00:11:58right so come on in, what we've got is
00:12:01effectively a bit like student acommodation or it's slightly bigger and
00:12:05much higher quality so we've managed to have fully stone works all bosh
00:12:08kit um really high quality stuff but we love
00:12:12that because it just speaks of uh people being
00:12:15valued you know so we want people to feel that yeah i've
00:12:19got this really smart place to live right in the city center by the
00:12:23water maybe taking a good turn, I can can really have
00:12:27another go at it, and what you want is sustainable
00:12:30funding, not just for this project, but to expand it,
00:12:33because for you, this is a blueprint that works and can work
00:12:37elsewhere, it is working, so n between 92 and 95% of
00:12:40people who come to us leave us with a full-time
00:12:43job, no longer needing council housing, no longer
00:12:47needing benefits, going to private rental, that's not the
00:12:50norm, you know the normal way, and that's in 14 months, the
00:12:54normal is to wait 15 plus years in a
00:12:57shelter and then go for council housing and live on
00:13:00benefits. talk to me about what it's like here at embassy
00:13:03village? it's uh it's a lovely place, lovely
00:13:06people, um, it's more of like
00:13:09um like family really, we're all we're
00:13:13all some of us know know each other from
00:13:16previous places that we were at really, but yeah it's a
00:13:19really good place buse you were rough sleeping, well you've been rough
00:13:23sleeping since
00:13:2516 and you've been in various shelters
00:13:29and accommodations and through various
00:13:32cycles of help. does it feel like there's more support here that there's
00:13:36a purpose? well the people care, the stuff care
00:13:40about you, you just need one person to believe in you
00:13:43really, or do you what i mean, some people, and what is it you
00:13:47already into here? hear you're pretty good
00:13:50cook, i'm not going to brag, no, i'm not
00:13:54good. I am god, yeah, it
00:13:57sounds like you're actually saving the government and the local authority money by the work
00:14:00that you yeah, we worked out, it's between 800 thousand and million pounds
00:14:04for every group that passes through here we save, that's by keeping them off
00:14:08benefits, keeping them off social housing, it costs
00:14:11between about 12,00 and 35,000 year for someone to rough
00:14:15sleep, so that's police time, NHS time, local count,
00:14:18what most people don't understand, yeah, yeah, whereas here it costs us, we
00:14:22worked out it's about 12, 13 grand to go, through our entire process
00:14:26once as opposed to every year being on the street costing
00:14:30month, so it's a no brainer. Andy Burnham, the first thing he did
00:14:33as prime minister was say he wanted to end rough sleeping, he's someone you know, he
00:14:37knows about your work as during his time here as mayor of
00:14:41Greater Manchester, there is new homelessness
00:14:44minister and you have this blueprint that could be rolled out across the UK, what would your
00:14:48message to them be? um, come and see it, come and see it
00:14:52actually in action, see what's really happening?
00:14:55and I think also just to appeal to your view is to be
00:14:58honest, because most of our income hasn't come from the
00:15:02government to build this, it's come from private
00:15:05individuals, companies, churches that have gone, you know what, love that, I'm
00:15:09going to get in touch and help, and so whilst we've built this, we want to build a
00:15:13load of accommodation for women now, um, we've got some
00:15:16land, which one the local authorities is letting us have for
00:15:19free, um, and we've got a team together to build
00:15:23it, we just need the funds to... um we want to build a little health
00:15:27center so we need some help with that um
00:15:30and we are always needing more
00:15:33staff so if anyone wants to sponsor a staff
00:15:36salary Honestly, these are the kinds of things you could help with and make an
00:15:40enormous
00:15:40difference.
00:15:50Microsoft, the company on whose software the world's
00:15:54businesses and many homes run has a
00:15:56problem. How to keep its one and a half billion
00:16:00customers data secure in a world of rogue AI
00:16:03agents. If we don't mobilize with urgency, we'll
00:16:06see a... lot of threats becoming reality, so we need to
00:16:10mobilize very quickly to make sure that we manage
00:16:13those systems responsibly, and it
00:16:16starts by saying we can't trust them. as an irony
00:16:19here, Microsoft's multi-billion dollar partnership with Open AI help
00:16:23them to be the first to offer AI agents, they call them
00:16:26co-pilots, to their customers, but it
00:16:28also turbocharged open AI's growth, that among other things, gave
00:16:32us out of control agent swarms hacking into corporate and public
00:16:36databases. agents we can't trust
00:16:39that run a speed and scale never imagined before that are already
00:16:43threatening their customers. we need to build defenses that
00:16:47operate 24 by7 so that we can
00:16:50and respond at machine speed. that's the big big difference bet
00:16:53for security before and security now. it's happening
00:16:57and lot of folks were like is it hype? it's not hype, it's
00:17:00real. that's solution. yep, you guessed it, using good
00:17:03AI to fight bad AI with guardian agents.
00:17:07"we have guardian agents, they're going to operate 24 by
00:17:10seven, and their job is going to be to look
00:17:13at what is happening in the environment, near real time,
00:17:17looking at all the signals, bringing them together to say, oh, this is what's
00:17:21happening, and before the agents can do a bad thing,
00:17:24we will then adjust what it can do. it makes sense,
00:17:28microsoft says it security systems already monitor
00:17:31165 trillion signals each day, but an
00:17:35army of guardian agents won't come..." cheap like any other
00:17:39frontier AI, their demand for compute will be enormous and
00:17:42costly. it will happen in the existing data center, but
00:17:46it's new processing, and then you're going to have to take actions. that is
00:17:49reality of where we're going, but we have no choice, because what's coming at
00:17:52us is at scales 24 by seven, it's
00:17:56machine speed. perhaps not surprising then that the new
00:17:59secure AI agentic system Microsoft is launching, will
00:18:02initially only be available to its top tier customers.
00:18:06its dominance. established in a pre-AI era means it
00:18:10has the most again from offering time-saving productivity enhancing
00:18:13AI agents to its customers, but for the same
00:18:16reason Microsoft has the most to lose, if it can't defend them
00:18:20from wayward AI agents that it impart help to create.
00:19:01Well then
00:19:03everything started yesterday around 9:10 AM, when
00:19:07I was finishing breakfast, my daughter told me, "Dad, there's
00:19:11an accident at the train station." So
00:19:14I said, "But it's serious, the doctors have left and we're without
00:19:18a doctor in the town." So without thinking or
00:19:22saying goodbye, I took the car and quickly drove to the
00:19:25AVE (high-speed train), and when I got there, I saw something very light, there was hardly any
00:19:28traffic, no cars, and I thought, "Well, this is just
00:19:32a minor thing, very slight." But as I got
00:19:35closer to the cabin of the AVE, there was no
00:19:39cabin. It was a mass of iron,
00:19:43of corpses, of
00:19:46dying people, screaming in a sepulchral silence. There were no
00:19:50screams, perhaps because they didn't have the strength to even
00:19:53speak. Some were moving their hands among the corpses,
00:19:56and I was very
00:19:59shocked by the farewell of a dying man to his
00:20:02wife: "Maite, I love you very much, take care of
00:20:06the children." And when the last
00:20:10words he said moved me greatly, he
00:20:14said, "God is good."
00:20:16I turned around and stood up, and behind me was a
00:20:20young man, very calmly asking for an
00:20:23ambulance in a very soft and calm way,
00:20:27and then I saw that his arm was severed, he had
00:20:31lost his arm. Well, then I broke down, I think I even cried,
00:20:34and I quickly went to the pharmacy. I couldn't come here with empty
00:20:38hands, I mean, to get some pain relief material above
00:20:42all, and I came here. I also told my
00:20:45son, who came with me, my daughter too, my
00:20:48wife, we all went. My assistant also came, and
00:20:52we all went with material to that place, we practically emptied the pharmacy
00:20:55and we went to try
00:20:58to solve some problem, at least with
00:21:01painkillers. When I got there, it was no longer
00:21:04there. The police were already controlling it, and they told us
00:21:08we had to go to the other side of the tracks, and there I found another
00:21:12tragedy, just as big or perhaps worse. A
00:21:16wagon embedded inside another, imagine the
00:21:19corpses. Or the bodies that were there, they were no longer
00:21:22bodies, they were remains, you know. Well,
00:21:25that was terrible. We spent the whole morning there
00:21:29helping. The health system worked very well,
00:21:32many helicopters came, many ambulances, I think there were even
00:21:36too many. But well, we were
00:21:39there all day, all morning, and when we saw that
00:21:42it was already controlled, we came here to
00:21:45attend to the families. We brought some sick people who
00:21:49were quite quite useful
00:21:52still, and we were here
00:21:55accompanying them and looking for ways to report them to
00:21:58Madrid, to Toledo. I understand that you are a person of
00:22:01faith. How are you living? Have you had time to pray?
00:22:05Well, I think that believers, when we have those
00:22:08those great traumas,
00:22:11I think we always remember the same thing, and I think it comforts
00:22:15you a lot, it's the only way to move forward. How long were you
00:22:18there yesterday? Yesterday, I went back and forth three or
00:22:22four times. The police already knew me because they were controlling a lot, and I said, "You know me,
00:22:26let me through, I'm a healthcare worker, I'm carrying medical supplies." "Come on, go, I
00:22:29know you." I was going back and forth
00:22:32bringing sick people and
00:22:36also material. How did you collaborate with the ambulances,
00:22:39with the paramedics who came? Excuse me,
00:22:43how did you collaborate with the ambulances, with the paramedics? Well, by giving them all the material
00:22:47that they also ran out of. They came with their material, but they also
00:22:50ran out, and I also gave them all kinds of things,
00:22:53even the hospice, I broke the law, but in these moments, you have to break it. What
00:22:57was the most impactful thing you saw when you arrived? Excuse me, what was the most
00:23:01impactful thing you saw when you arrived? Well, the most impactful thing there was
00:23:04the first moment, the first moment when I saw the
00:23:08people there asking for help, unable to do anything because I was practically
00:23:12alone, I was alone, and the doctors were on the other side, but
00:23:15they couldn't do much either. It was a tremendous
00:23:19helplessness that causes that anxiety and
00:23:22breakdown. 24 hours have passed, how was your night? Well,
00:23:26the night was very short, very very short,
00:23:30or very long. Short in sleep because I slept two or three hours, and
00:23:34at 6 AM I was already up, attending
00:23:36even to friends who congratulated me. Well, they didn't congratulate me,
00:23:40but the whole town, because I was really just one more among
00:23:43them, and the town also turned out for them. How has the town's work been to
00:23:47help in this fantastic situation of the town
00:23:50of Urda, even from neighboring towns? Even, imagine,
00:23:54a town 100 km from here, Jerindote, people also came.
00:23:57Well, and you, the press, all the
00:24:00national, international press, of all
00:24:04kinds. It has been, the truth is that you are also doing a very
00:24:07good job. Let's see if this helps us become aware and no
00:24:11more accidents happen.
00:24:13accidentes.
00:24:22'After years of delay and storms of controversy,
00:24:26finally a green light for Jackdoor. The first new
00:24:30North Sea gas field to get consent in decade could be
00:24:33heating homes and firing power stations within weeks after
00:24:37the energy secretary concluded it makes no sense to ignore gas lying
00:24:41beneath British waters when we'll be burning imports instead.
00:24:45The truth is that we are in a volatile world at the moment, we're in a world
00:24:48where we're seeing the'. crisis in the Middle East, the impact on
00:24:51energy reverberating on families here, we've got to secure
00:24:55our own energy security, and that does mean home
00:24:58grown, and that is about this project, but it is also about the
00:25:01billions that we're investing in home-gown, renewables and home-gown
00:25:05nuclear.
00:25:08With environmental campaigners sounding the alarm and labour MPs
00:25:12uneasy, chancelor John Healey was in aberdeen too,
00:25:16announcing that tax revenues from Jackdoor will be spent on the energy.
00:25:20transition. In Abedene, the argument has always
00:25:24been about jobs and energy security. Jackdores developers
00:25:27co-owned by oil giants Shell and Norway's
00:25:30equanor say approval delivers both. I imagine there was
00:25:34a a wal and a holder that went out in Silver Finn, which is is our
00:25:38headquarters, so uh, a sense of relief. People are
00:25:41very invested in the good job that they do bringing energy security to the
00:25:45UK, but I imagine the supply chain are also very relieved
00:25:48because as we build this bridge from a molecular energy
00:25:52pass to a renewable energy future, they need work to keep
00:25:55their business viable. gas from jackd will do
00:25:59nothing to bring down prices that have saw to fall.
00:26:02or year highs, guaranteeing rising bills this
00:26:05winter. campaigners who successfully challenged the projects in the
00:26:09courts say the decision betrays the UK's climate
00:26:12targets and its commitment to
00:26:14renewables.
00:26:17if the real challenge, which I think everybody accepts, is the price of
00:26:21gas, that's what sent millions of people into fuel poverty after
00:26:242022 and Russia's invasion of Ukraine, that's what's really going
00:26:27to determine whether or not people turn their heating on this winter, that is
00:26:31not going to be help. by more domestic gas production, the only way of getting to
00:26:35cheaper energy is
00:26:36renewables.
00:26:39allowing gas extraction from Jackdoor, about 150 miles
00:26:43out there somewhere will not end the debate
00:26:47about North Sea drilling, and tough questions over energy
00:26:51policy remain, starting with what to do with the
00:26:54massive rosebank oil field, and given that Jack
00:26:57Door won't meaningfully cut gas prices, perhaps the
00:27:01hardest question. with all is how to bring down
00:27:05consumer bills during an energy transition that might be
00:27:08delivering some of the cleanest power in the world, but also
00:27:11happens to be almost the most expensive.
00:27:15decision on Roosebank is expected before Christmas, by
00:27:18then the impact of energy bills still largely set by
00:27:22fossil fuel markets will be clearer than ever. Paul Kelso,
