Alleged Chinese spy had 'unusual degree of trust' with Prince Andrew | BBC News
An alleged Chinese spy who formed an "unusual degree of trust" with the Duke of York has been banned from the UK, after a judgement by the UK's semi-secret national security court.
The man, known only as H6 and described as a "close confidant" to Prince Andrew, brought an appeal against his initial ban but the decision was upheld by the court.
Judges were told the businessman was attempting to leverage Prince Andrew's influence.
Buckingham Palace declined to comment, saying they do not act for the prince, who is not a working royal.

President Emmanuel Macron names centrist François Bayrou as French PM | BBC News
President Emmanuel Macron has named centrist leader François Bayrou as France's next prime minister, in a bid to end months of political turmoil.
A Macron ally, Bayrou is a mayor from the southwest and leads the MoDem party. Ahead of the announcement, the two men spent almost two hours in talks described as tense by French media.
The president's task is now to ensure Bayrou lasts longer than his predecessor, ex-Brexit negotiator Michel Barnier, who lasted just three months and was ousted by MPs nine days ago.
Macron is half-way through his second term as president and Bayrou will be his fourth prime minister this year.

Steven Bartlett sharing harmful health misinformation in Diary of CEO podcast | BBC News

Recent claims from guests - including that cancer can be treated by following a keto diet, rather than proven treatments - were allowed by the Dragons' Den star with little or no challenge. Experts have told us failing to question these disproven claims is dangerous because it creates a distrust of conventional medicine.

President Joe Biden issues 39 presidential pardons and commutes 1,500 sentences | BBC News
US President Joe Biden has issued presidential pardons to 39 Americans convicted of non-violent crimes, and commuted the sentences of nearly 1,500 others, including several convicted of multi-million dollar fraud schemes.
The White House described it as the most acts of presidential clemency issued in a single day. It comes after Biden made the decision to pardon his own criminally convicted son, Hunter Biden.
Announcing the move, Biden said those pardoned had "shown successful rehabilitation and have shown commitment to making their communities stronger and safer".
The US Constitution decrees that a president has the broad "power to grant reprieves and pardons for offences against the United States, except in cases of impeachment".

Could the US election result threaten support for Kyiv? Since Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022, the United States has led the world in providing aid to Kyiv, with contributions totalling more than $175bn (£134bn). But agreeing additional assistance in Congress has become increasingly difficult, with the attention of the Republican right fixed on domestic priorities. So, as November's presidential election approaches, what could victory for either Kamala Harris or Donald Trump mean for the trajectory of the war?

Former Wagner boss Yevgeny Prighozin wanted prisoners who had “killed at least two people” and had “criminal minds” recruited from the highest security Russian prisons, but our analysis shows recruitment was eventually broadened out to low level penal colonies and even hospitals.

On the 26 September 2014 Nathan Law stood on a makeshift stage outside Hong Kong's central government complex and chanted "Democracy Now" and "Freedom" into a microphone.
He was leading hundreds of protesters who had gathered to demand that China grants Hong Kong free and fair elections.
As the day went on the protest continued to grow and it wasn’t long before Nathan’s face was all over the news.
Then at 2am his microphone was cut off and the protest plunged into darkness as plain-clothed police officers rushed to the stage and arrested him.
Nathan tells Anoushka Mutanda-Dougherty how despite his arrest the pro...

In the fourth of our pre-election series we look at America and... the war in Ukraine.
Click here to subscribe to our channel 👉🏽 https://bbc.in/3VyyriM
Could the US election result threaten support for Kyiv? Since Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022, the United States has led the world in providing aid to Kyiv, with contributions totalling more than $175bn (£134bn). But agreeing additional assistance in Congress has become increasingly difficult, with the attention of the Republican right fixed on domestic priorities. So, as November's presidential election approaches, what could victory for either Kamala Harris or Donald Trump mean for the trajectory of the war?
Sumi Somaskanda is joined by the BBC's Ukraine correspondent, James Waterhouse, and news correspondent, Will Vernon. They discuss how delays of US aid have directly affected the war on the ground, and what we know about the policy positions of the candidates for the White House.
00:00 Introduction
01:40 American appetite for continued aid to Ukraine
03:32 Republican opposition to support for Ukraine
05:05 President Zelensky's 'victory plan'
07:42 Has Ukraine's surprise Kursk incursion worked?
10:18 Has Kursk incursion come at the cost of the eastern front?
12:07 Kamala Harris' postion on Ukraine
14:24 Donald Trump's position on Ukraine
15:07 Trump claims "Ukraine is gone"
16:30 Ukrainian views on Trump's claims
18:13 Zelensky's US visit "didn't go well" with political blunder
20:12 How pivotal is US backing for Ukraine compared to other allies?
21:26 If the US withdrew support how long could Ukraine keep fighting?
22:43 American action against Russian allies

Female criminals are exploiting superstition and family love to swindle women with Chinese heritage living in the west. Now a social media activist is fighting back.
Click here to subscribe to our channel 👉🏽 https://bbc.in/3VyyriM
The blessing scam is an elaborate piece of criminal street theatre which in the last few months has claimed victims across North America as well as Australia and the UK.
It begins with an apparently random meeting with a stranger in the street, and very quickly escalates from there.
Victims are tricked out of their money and possessions after being terrified into believing that a relative’s life is threatened by evil spirits. And they’re left wondering: how did that happen? Are the criminals just master manipulators, or could something even more sinister be involved?
00:00 Introduction
00:37 Anatomy of a con
01:45 “They put the fear into me”
05:00 Scammers captured on CCTV
06:47 Is Devil’s Breath being used in blessing scams?

It’s no secret that Russia is recruiting prisoners to fight on the frontline in Ukraine. However, exclusive BBC analysis can reveal how the initial focus on the most heinous and hardened criminals has now broadened out to even the most minor infractions.
Click here to subscribe to our channel 👉🏽 https://bbc.in/3VyyriM
Former Wagner boss Yevgeny Prighozin wanted prisoners who had “killed at least two people” and had “criminal minds” recruited from the highest security Russian prisons, but our analysis shows recruitment was eventually broadened out to low level penal colonies and even hospitals. Some are also pressured into going to the frontline before they’ve even been convicted of any crime.
Andrey Perlov, an Olympic gold medallist, has been accused of embezzlement. His daughter tells the BBC he is being pressured into signing a contract to fight on the frontline instead of facing charges in court.

Intelligent machines are remaking our world. The speed of their improvement is accelerating fast and every day there are more things they can do better than us. There are risks, but the opportunities for human society are enormous.
Three engineers at the forefront of that revolution come to London to join Caroline Steel and a public audience at the Great Hall of Imperial College.
Regina Barzilay from MIT created a major breakthrough in detecting early stage breast cancer. She also led the team that used machine learning to discover Halicin, the first new antibiotic in 30 years.
David Silver is Principal Research Scientist at Google DeepMind. He led the AlphaGo team that built the AI to defeat the world’s best human player of Go.
Paolo Pirjanian founded Embodied, and is a pioneer in developing emotionally intelligent robots to aid child development.
Producer: Charlie Taylor
00:00 Introduction
02:10 How AI could be used to detect cancer early
03:47 Gaming and reinforcement learning
05:42 Robot companions
07:08 What can AI do to detect cancer that humans can't?

One year of war in Gaza: life, death, and hope - BBC World Service Documentaries

Life and Death in Gaza, a new film from the World Service’s #BBCEye investigations team for BBC Storyville, is made by four Palestinians living through extraordinary times. Filmed from the first days of the war, Khalid, Aya, Adam, and Aseel document their own lives as they endure bombing raids, multiple evacuations, family separations and reunions, deaths, and even the birth of a new life amidst the chaos.
Click here to subscribe to our channel 👉🏽 https://bbc.in/3VyyriM
Self-shot over the course of a year, the film captures the fight for survival through direct, personal experiences. Interwoven with these are observational scenes filmed by other filmmakers on the ground, as well as personal archives from before the war. Together, they tell a uniquely human story about the first year of the war in Gaza, challenging assumptions about the conflict and those caught in it. The film showcases stories of resilience, loss, and hope amid a deep and desperate humanitarian crisis.
This film forms part of a group of programmes marking the 7 October anniversary and the Israel-Gaza war. Other programming includes the BBC Storyville documentary, Surviving October 7th: We Will Dance Again, available on BBC iPlayer.
Audiences in the UK can watch this documentary from Tuesday 15 October on BBC Two and iPlayer here: https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m002412q

https://wn.com/One_Year_Of_War_In_Gaza_Life,_Death,_And_Hope_BBC_World_Service_Documentaries
Life and Death in Gaza, a new film from the World Service’s #BBCEye investigations team for BBC Storyville, is made by four Palestinians living through extraordinary times. Filmed from the first days of the war, Khalid, Aya, Adam, and Aseel document their own lives as they endure bombing raids, multiple evacuations, family separations and reunions, deaths, and even the birth of a new life amidst the chaos.

Self-shot over the course of a year, the film captures the fight for survival through direct, personal experiences. Interwoven with these are observational scenes filmed by other filmmakers on the ground, as well as personal archives from before the war. Together, they tell a uniquely human story about the first year of the war in Gaza, challenging assumptions about the conflict and those caught in it. The film showcases stories of resilience, loss, and hope amid a deep and desperate humanitarian crisis.
This film forms part of a group of programmes marking the 7 October anniversary and the Israel-Gaza war. Other programming includes the BBC Storyville documentary, Surviving October 7th: We Will Dance Again, available on BBC iPlayer.
Audiences in the UK can watch this documentary from Tuesday 15 October on BBC Two and iPlayer here: https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m002412q

Nathan Law, one of the student leaders responsible for Hong Kong's 2014 "Umbrella" protests, tells his story.
Click here to subscribe to our channel 👉🏽 https://bbc.in/3VyyriM
On the 26 September 2014 Nathan Law stood on a makeshift stage outside Hong Kong's central government complex and chanted "Democracy Now" and "Freedom" into a microphone.
He was leading hundreds of protesters who had gathered to demand that China grants Hong Kong free and fair elections.
As the day went on the protest continued to grow and it wasn’t long before Nathan’s face was all over the news.
Then at 2am his microphone was cut off and the protest plunged into darkness as plain-clothed police officers rushed to the stage and arrested him.
Nathan tells Anoushka Mutanda-Dougherty how despite his arrest the protests continued to grow into some of the largest Hong Kong had ever seen lasting 79 days in total.
From leading the movement, to going to jail and now living in exile in the UK he reflects on ten years of activism.
00:00 Introduction
00:47 Nathan Law's upbringing
01:47 Tiananmen Square vigil
04:14 The history of Hong Kong
06:29 Occupying civic square
08:13 Nathan Law's Mum finding out
08:37 Going to jail
09:30 The Umbrella Protests
