Speaker 11 I'm Charlotte Gallagher, and in the early hours of Tuesday, the 18th of November, these are our main stories. The UN backs Trump's Gaza peace plan.

Speaker 11 Israeli settlers continue to attack Palestinians in the occupied West Bank, and an explosion in Poland fuels fears of a hybrid war.

Speaker 11 Also in this podcast, we hear about AI from the head of Google.

Speaker 13 You have to learn to use these tools for what they are good at and not blindly trust everything they say.

Speaker 11 We begin in New York, where a UN resolution that supports Donald Trump's Gaza peace plan has been put out to a vote.

Speaker 1 The result of the voting is as follows.

Speaker 6 13 votes in favour, zero votes against, two abstentions. The draft resolution has been adopted.

Speaker 11 The US drafted resolution was approved by the Security Council after Russia and China abstained.

Speaker 11 It sets the stage for a stabilisation force in Gaza, which the US Ambassador Mike Waltz said would chart a new course in the Middle East.

Speaker 14 Thank you to the Council members for this historic and constructive resolution.

Speaker 14 Today's resolution represents another significant step towards a stable Gaza that will be able to prosper and an environment that will allow Israel to live in security.

Speaker 11 President Trump has also hailed the vote, claiming it would lead to peace all over the world.

Speaker 11 But Israel has taken issue with parts of the UN resolution, and Hamas has said it fails to respect the demands and rights of the Palestinians. Details about how the next phase of Mr.

Speaker 11 Trump's peace plan will work also remain vague. I spoke to our correspondent at the UN, Neda Taufik, who began by explaining what the Security Council has approved.

Speaker 8 The resolution essentially endorses Donald Trump's Gaza peace plan and really sets out key elements for phase two of that plan.

Speaker 8 So, for example, it authorizes a Board of Peace, which is a transitional governing body that would work with a Palestinian committee, and that would

Speaker 8 do things such as

Speaker 8 work on the reconstruction of Gaza, work on the delivery of humanitarian aid. And it also sets out something called an international stabilization force.

Speaker 8 Again, that would work with Israel and Egypt, but have a newly kind of vetted Palestinian police force working alongside it.

Speaker 8 And the key for that is to essentially disarm the Gaza Strip from any armed non-state group such as Hamas and to secure some of the border areas.

Speaker 8 But honestly, with both those key mechanisms, there's really no clarity about their composition.

Speaker 8 And so that was a key criticism from Russia and China, which, although they didn't exercise their vetoes, they abstained to let this resolution pass because the Palestinian Authority and others in the Arab and Muslim world wanted this resolution, those diplomats.

Speaker 8 But those were some of the criticisms they flagged, saying it doesn't have enough UN participation and doesn't have a firm enough commitment to a Palestinian state in the future.

Speaker 11 So it's a win for Trump, but what kind of reaction have we had from Israel and Hamas? Mr.

Speaker 8 Yeah, President Trump has basically said this is a victory of historic proportions and he's going to announce the Board of Peace

Speaker 8 who will be on it in the coming weeks and that he will chair it, but a very different reaction from both Israel and Hamas.

Speaker 8 Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu reiterated that he strongly opposes the creation of a Palestinian state.

Speaker 8 And the resolution kind of mentions and references a credible pathway to a Palestinian state.

Speaker 8 And that was done after pushback from several nations, including Arab nations, that they wanted stronger language in the resolution.

Speaker 8 So even though it's not the strongest resolution about a a Palestinian state, it was enough to anger Israel and very much so the far-right wing of Benjamin Netanyahu's party.

Speaker 8 Hamas also swiftly rejected the resolution. They claimed that

Speaker 8 this would just take away Palestinian self-determination. They said that they are against disarming.
And they said that anybody coming in would be pro-Israel and just entrench Israel's occupation.

Speaker 11 So what happens next? You mentioned there that Trump would be announcing who was on the board, but when would people in Gaza start to see any changes?

Speaker 8 Well, I think that's the big question.

Speaker 8 You know, I had several diplomats saying that although this sets out the framework and very much puts Donald Trump's peace plan in the Security Council's purview, because the Board of Peace would have to report biannually to the Security Council, diplomats underscored that the negotiations happening are largely out of their control.

Speaker 8 It's happening on the ground between the U.S. and the other parties.

Speaker 8 So, really, it's not clear at all how long it will take to decide who will be on this board of peace, who will make up this international stabilization force, which countries will contribute troops.

Speaker 8 All of that is still very much in the future.

Speaker 11 Neda Taufik. The Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, has condemned violence committed by what he called a handful of extremists among Israeli settlers in the occupied West Bank.

Speaker 11 The Palestinian village of Al-Jaba near Bethlehem was targeted. From Jerusalem, here's our correspondent John Donison.

Speaker 2 This is just the latest violent attack by Jewish settlers. Video shows the masked youths storming Al-Jabba village with batons and throwing stones.

Speaker 2 The United Nations recently said the number of such attacks on Palestinians is at its highest level for 20 years since it began collecting data.

Speaker 2 Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the rioters would be prosecuted and that he viewed the latest incident with great severity.

Speaker 2 But Palestinians accuse his government of letting the settlers act with impunity. Mr.

Speaker 2 Netanyahu's cabinet contains two right-wing extremist ministers who have been accused of inciting such violence, even handing out guns to settlers.

Speaker 11 That was John Donison. The artificial intelligence revolution is firmly underway, with tech giants investing billions in research and battling to secure key technologies technologies and assets.

Speaker 11 It's led to a boom in the stock market, but also panic about the potential impact on jobs and society. Google is one of the tech giants investing heavily in AI with its Gemini tool.

Speaker 11 In an interview with its CEO, Sundar Pachai, the BBC's Faisal Islam asked him about the impact of this technology.

Speaker 13 Every decade or so, you know, you have this... inflection points.
You know, you have a new technology. It was a personal computer at one point, the internet coming in the late 90s.
Then it was mobile.

Speaker 13 Then it's been cloud, what we call as cloud. Now it's clearly the era of AI.

Speaker 6 And can you just a sense of the scale?

Speaker 13 You know, maybe four years ago, Google was spending less than $30 billion per year. This year, that number is going to be over $90 billion.

Speaker 13 And if you collectively add what all the companies are doing, you know, we have well over a trillion dollars of investment going in in building the infrastructure for this moment.

Speaker 13 And one way I think about it is in the next couple of years, we'll end up building what we probably built in the past 10 to 20 years.

Speaker 6 Now, you mentioned some of those phases of technological advancement that happened with much market excitement as well.

Speaker 6 And the obvious question, it's around the whole of this country and the whole of the world right now is in a bubble.

Speaker 13 Given the potential of this technology, the excitement is very rational. It's also true when we go through these investment cycles, there are moments we overshoot.

Speaker 13 We can look back at the internet right now. There was clearly a lot of excess investment, but none of us would question whether the internet was profound or did it drive a lot of impact.

Speaker 13 It's fundamentally changed how we work digitally as a society. I expect AI to be the same.
So I think it's both rational. And there are elements of irrationality through a moment like this.

Speaker 13 No company is going to be immune, including us, if you overinvest. We'll have to work through that phase.

Speaker 6 But the whole point of the value and productivity kind of offer to companies that are buying all your goods and your services is to automate many human tasks, is it not?

Speaker 13 Let me put it this way. I think people today are juggling many things and people are overloaded.
We've always had back in the history, you know, it could be a dishwasher coming to your home.

Speaker 13 I remember growing up, you know, when we got our first refrigerator in the home, how much it radically changed my mom's life. You know, it freed her up to do other things, right?

Speaker 13 So let's take the example of a radiologist. The number of scans people are getting is growing year on year.
And the number of images per scan is also rising pretty significantly.

Speaker 13 How do you help a radiologist cope up with this increased demand? Maybe an AI tool can help that patient. So I think that's what you will see more or less.

Speaker 6 All of the hopes, the hype, the valuations, the social benefit of this transformation you've just described, they're built on a central assumption that the technology functions, that it works.

Speaker 6 Let me propose one simple test. If Gemini, is it accurate? Does it tell the truth?

Speaker 13 Look, we are working hard from a scientific standpoint to ground it in real-world information, right?

Speaker 13 And there are areas, part of what we have done with Gemini is we have brought the power of Google search.

Speaker 13 So it uses Google search as a tool. to give answers more accurately.

Speaker 13 But there are moments these AI models fundamentally have a technology by which they're predicting what's next, and they are prone to errors. Yeah.

Speaker 6 You know some of the examples. There was an example of glue as a pizza ingredient, a sitting senator wrongly accused of assault.

Speaker 4 This is bad, isn't it?

Speaker 13 Today, I think we take pride in the amount of work we put in to give as accurate information as possible. But the current state-of-the-art AI technology is prone to some errors.

Speaker 13 And this is why people also use Google search, and we have other products are more grounded in providing accurate information.

Speaker 13 So you have to learn to use these tools for what they are good at and not blindly trust everything they say.

Speaker 13 The information ecosystem has to be much richer than just having AI technology being the sole product in it.

Speaker 6 The scale of the AI build out you've just described so vividly is creating another trade-off, not just for you, but for humanity on energy. I think this is an opportunity to be frank, Mr.

Speaker 6 Pichai, with the world. Is there a new calculus now? Is the build-out of AI more important than climate?

Speaker 13 Over time, I don't think this doesn't need to be a trade-off or a zero-sum game. So you're right.
AI is dramatically increasing demand for energy in a way that the current systems can't fully cope up.

Speaker 13 But that is driving extraordinary investments in solar, in battery technology, in nuclear technology and other sources.

Speaker 13 So I think I am, as a technologist, am optimistic that we will have abundant sources of renewable energy in the future.

Speaker 11 That was Faisal Islam speaking to the Google CEO, Sunda Pichai.

Speaker 11 The authorities in Poland say that an explosion over the weekend, which damaged a key railway line to Ukraine, was committed for a foreign intelligence service.

Speaker 11 Russia has denied Poland's repeated accusations of a hybrid war. Our correspondent Sarah Rainsford reports.

Speaker 15 Poland's Prime Minister Donald Tusk visited the scene of the explosion this morning and then posted a video on social media calling the blast an unprecedented act of sabotage.

Speaker 15 In a sign that he doesn't think mere criminals are to blame, Donald Tusk vowed to catch those responsible, whoever their backers are.

Speaker 15 Ever since Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, Poland's rail network has been a vitally important supply route for its neighbour, and this blast targeted one of the main lines to Ukraine's border.

Speaker 15 The explosion happened on Saturday night, but the impact was only spotted early on Sunday when a train came to an emergency stop just before the gap in the rails. No one was hurt.

Speaker 15 Further down the same line, a second suspected case of sabotage is now being investigated.

Speaker 15 Poland's security services minister says there's a very high chance the explosion was ordered by foreign services.

Speaker 15 He didn't name Russia directly, and Moscow always denies any role, but there have been multiple cases of arson and sabotage in Poland in recent years, which Warsaw links to Russian intelligence.

Speaker 15 Part of a hybrid war that isn't stopping and in which Poland is right on the front line.

Speaker 11 That was Sarah Rainsford.

Speaker 11 Still to come.

Speaker 17 Now, looking back on it, it gets me annoyed that people are allowed to do that and put us fans into a position where we have to pay that much to be able to see a concert.

Speaker 11 How the UK is trying to stop fans being ripped off by resale concert tickets.

Speaker 11 To Nigeria, where police say armed men have abducted at least 25 students from a girls' school in the northwest of the country.

Speaker 11 A teacher was killed trying to protect the girls, and a second member of staff was injured. A search and rescue operation is underway.

Speaker 11 Alex Ritson spoke to our correspondent, Chris Awaker, in Abuja, who told him more about the kidnapping.

Speaker 21 At the moment, no group has claimed responsibility. However, this is not the first time we're seeing this kind of mass abduction of students.

Speaker 21 And usually, in the past, some of these kidnaps are intended for ransom.

Speaker 21 Usually, the government does not say it pays ransom, but history shows that when abduction of this type happened, it could lead to payment of ransom, sometimes through community intermediaries, religious leaders, or a kind of informal kind of agreement.

Speaker 21 But at the moment, the government would be under pressure just to find these girls and to prevent a situation like this happening again in the country.

Speaker 22 But it's not always for ransom, is it? It has in the past also been for religious reasons.

Speaker 21 In April 2014, when nearly 300 schoolgirls in Chibok were abducted, it was basically for religious reasons because then the ideology was, as the name indicates, Boko Haram, which means Western education is forbidding.

Speaker 21 So they particularly targeted that school as a way of driving the agenda of not allowing Western education to thrive. But from that time till now, strategies have evolved.

Speaker 21 And in this case, we're looking at a group of armed gangs or militia, known locally here as bandits, whose stock in trade appear to be making an industry out of kidnapping and possibly gaining some financial reward.

Speaker 22 Chris, you've spoken to some of the girls' families. What are they saying?

Speaker 21 When the news filtered out this morning, some parents, many of them, rushed to the school and desperately trying to confirm whether their daughters were among those taken.

Speaker 21 Parents are frightened, especially because nothing's been heard from them.

Speaker 21 And there is a push for the authorities to try to get the girls rescued before they could be taken deep into the bush, into the forest, or even they could be divided into groups and scattered among different camps of bandits within the hub where they operate, and some of these hubs are less policed by security agencies.

Speaker 22 Very briefly, Chris, do these things normally end well?

Speaker 21 Well, in the past, we've had a situation where some of them were released, but usually it is not all of them.

Speaker 21 Other kidnapping incidents that we have witnessed, some are released, but not all of them are usually released.

Speaker 11 That was Chris Iwaka speaking to Alex Ritson.

Speaker 11 Negotiations at COP30 in Brazil have gone late into the night night as negotiators eke out compromises on the most contentious questions: how to find money for poorer countries to cut carbon emissions, and how to improve the plans that countries already have to limit the release of CO2.

Speaker 11 One of the most important countries in the negotiations is India, but there's concern among some observers that the world's third-largest emitter hasn't yet submitted a new carbon-cutting plan, as every nation is required to do so this year.

Speaker 11 So, what's going on? Our environment correspondent, Matt McGrath, who's in Bilem for COP30, has more.

Speaker 7 In over 30 degrees of heat here in Bilem, Britain's climate secretary Ed Miliband had what's described as a fireside chat with his Indian counterpart Bhupender Yadav.

Speaker 7 Mr. Miliband, who visited India earlier this year, was unstinting in his praise for the remarkable progress the country has made as it starts to transition its economy away from fossil fuels.

Speaker 23 My observation from talking to Minister Gadhab and others is that India is doing this because this is the right thing for future generations, but it is also the right thing for today's generations.

Speaker 7 So why then hasn't India, the world's third biggest emitter of carbon, published a new plan to cut those emissions?

Speaker 7 Those plans are called nationally determined contributions or NDCs in the jargon of the COP. 110 other countries including the European Union and China, have managed to publish theirs to date.

Speaker 7 So will this lack of a new plan diminish India's standing in these talks? I put that question to Dr. Arunaba Ghosh, South Asia COP30 climate envoy.

Speaker 1 I don't think it is hampering for a different reason, which is that at home, India has delivered more than what its NDC 2.0 has promised.

Speaker 1 For instance, earlier this year kicked off a critical minerals mission with a big focus on recycling and therefore that will drive the battery revolution story.

Speaker 1 It sold 1.9 million electric vehicles last year, most of which were for public transport.

Speaker 1 We are not trying to sell subsidized Teslas, we are trying to actually make sure poor people get to have access to sustainable transport.

Speaker 1 India has the world's largest solar irrigation program underway. It has one of the world's largest solar rooftop program underway.

Speaker 1 It was announced last year for 10 million homes. Already, nearly 2 million, about 1.5 million homes have got solar rooftop.

Speaker 7 That's all fine in India. That's the things you're doing.

Speaker 1 But here, what's happening with relation to a railway system? No, because your question was,

Speaker 1 is the submission of an NDC

Speaker 1 holding back? Why should it hold back?

Speaker 1 Ultimately, if this is the COP of implementation, you have to look at who's implementing rather than who's speaking.

Speaker 11 Matt McGrath with that report. Now, have you ever been in a situation where you're desperately trying to get tickets to a concert?

Speaker 11 It sells out, and then just seconds later, those tickets start popping up on resale sites for hundreds of dollars more than they first cost.

Speaker 11 It is something that's happened to me, and it is so annoying. The UK is understood to be joining a handful of other countries in banning reselling tickets for a profit.
Will Chalk told me more.

Speaker 5 Yeah, you say you've been there. I've been there.

Speaker 4 I tried to give me Taylor Swift tickets.

Speaker 11 I couldn't get them because I wouldn't pay a thousand pounds.

Speaker 5 Yes, Taylor Swift, it also happened to me. I ended up paying hundreds of dollars.
For my tickets to Taylor Swift's Eeries Tour, the face value was about $50 originally, I think.

Speaker 5 It's nothing on Bridget Sarek, though. She is a Taylor Swift Super fan, originally from Australia.

Speaker 5 She ended up paying around $900 for her Taylor Swift ticket, and it was originally sold for around $200.

Speaker 17 At the time, I was just, I wanted to do anything to get into that concert, so I was just happy to pay that.

Speaker 17 But now looking back back on it it gets me annoyed like that people are allowed to do that and like put us fans into a position where we have to pay that much to be able to see a concert that is not worth that much if that get if you get what I mean So Bridget there speaking for a lot of people, I think.

Speaker 5 So this would be a long-awaited change from the government. It was actually one of their general election pledges to tackle touts.
But that's quite vague. Tackle touts.
What does that actually mean?

Speaker 5 Well, for a while, people thought the plan was going to be to ban ban reselling tickets for 30 more than the original price but now it's actually thought it's going to be a complete ban on reselling tickets for a profit so we're expecting confirmation of this on wednesday it comes after some big names talking dua leapa radiohead cold play all signed an open letter to the government calling for more action last week But if this is confirmed, it means a lot of people in ticket websites such as StubHub or Via Gogo, they'd stand to lose a lot of money.

Speaker 5 And then, of course, there are the touts themselves. Now

Speaker 11 for the ticket touts, it really does.

Speaker 5 Well research from a campaign group Fairfax suggests that there are a lot of these touts about.

Speaker 5 So 90% of tickets on resale platforms, they claim in the UK are listed by traders and that's someone who sells more than 100 tickets per year. So you say your heart's bleeding.

Speaker 5 Okay, but could this be bad for business even if it is an unpopular business that makes people angry? Well, I asked Richard Davies, who founded the website Twicket.

Speaker 5 That's a ticket resale site where you have to sell at face value. They make money by charging the sellers and buyers a fee.
Richard told me they are proof that profiteering isn't necessary.

Speaker 24 This is a sustainable, viable business that makes a profit.

Speaker 24 We've long believed that there's a business to be had in doing the right thing, in providing fans with what they're looking to achieve, which is simply sell tickets that they can no longer use and for buyers a second chance really to get a ticket often for a sold-out event that they missed out on in the first place without getting ripped off.

Speaker 11 And the UK isn't alone in doing this.

Speaker 5 No, countries, including France, Norway, Australia, Ireland, and some others, they already have either a total ban or, as we discussed before, a maximum percentage that you can make as a profit.

Speaker 5 But it's not a popular idea everywhere. Here is Richard Davies again.

Speaker 24 Well, I'd say the worst market, undoubtedly, is the US. We operate in the US, but we haven't seen a huge amount of uptake yet.
We work with local artists there.

Speaker 24 Bands like The Foo Fighters, for instance, have been very big supporters of us. But beyond the individual artists themselves, there's not a huge appetite for change in the US right now.

Speaker 5 Now, as I said before, we haven't had this officially confirmed yet, and the government haven't commented either.

Speaker 5 But it is expected that this wouldn't just affect live music, it would also affect theatre, comedy, and maybe even sporting events soon. And as I say, confirmation expected on Wednesday for this.

Speaker 11 And that was Will Chalk.

Speaker 11 A year ago this week, the YouTube star Jake Paul defeated boxing's two-time heavyweight champion Mike Tyson in a televised fight, watched by tens of millions of people.

Speaker 11 Now Jake Paul is to face another former champion, Britain's Anthony Joshua. And in a sign of how the sport is evolving, the bout will again be shown not by pay-per-view TV, but on Netflix.

Speaker 11 Katie Gornall reports.

Speaker 25 A few years ago, it would have been unthinkable that a former world heavyweight champion like Anthony Joshua would step into the ring with a social media influencer.

Speaker 25 It's not one for the purists, but such is the draw of YouTube star-term boxer Jake Paul that next month's fight will be one of the most watched fights in the history of the sport.

Speaker 25 Last year, Paul's exhibition bout with 58-year-old Mike Tyson attracted more than 100 million viewers, but Joshua is much closer to his prime.

Speaker 25 Nikisa Bedarian is Jake Paul's business partner and co-founder of Most Valuable Promotions.

Speaker 16 It's a career-defining moment for both fighters. For Jake Paul, it's a chance to show the world how far he's come.
And for Anthony Joshua, it's a chance to end the Jake Paul train.

Speaker 16 I don't think it's reckless in any way, shape, or form.

Speaker 25 In a statement, Joshua said, a lot more fighters will take these opportunities in the future and about to break the internet over Jake Paul's face.

Speaker 25 It will give the Olympic gold medalist one of the biggest paydays of his career, but at what cost? Here's boxing promoter Frank Warren.

Speaker 7 But who it's more dangerous for? Is AJ. If AJ gets caught or he looks bad, he's done.
People are paid to watch it. It's a car crash, isn't it?

Speaker 25 The fight will take place next month in Miami and promises to be a night fuelled by followers as much as fighters.

Speaker 11 That was Katie Gornall. The Cambridge Dictionary has chosen parasocial as its word of the year for 2025.
It refers to the one-sided bond people feel with public figures that they've never met.

Speaker 11 The term was first used in the 1950s when sociologists noticed viewers viewers forming emotional connections with television personalities.

Speaker 11 In the internet age, it's come to describe similar attachments to influencers, celebrities, and even AI chatbots.
