European Parliament approves AI Act

The AI Act has been approved from European Parliament amid warnings over developing the tech - which enables computers to perform tasks typically requiring human intelligence - too quickly. Our technology editor Zoe Kleinman sat down with the EU's competition chief Margrethe Vestager to discuss this all. Chris Wallace from our tech team will tell us about these developments.

A new BBC investigation has found Afghans fleeing the Taliban are being kidnapped and tortured by gangs as they try to cross the border between Iran and Turkey on their way to Europe. The gangs then send videos of the abuse to the families of migrants being held hostage, demanding a ransom for their release. We meet Soran Qurbani behind the report.

And as the Reuters Institute says there’s a sharp decline in appetite for news in recent years, we hear from editors about changing news demands.
