This BBC podcast is supported by ads outside the uk. This is the global news podcast from the BBC World Service. I'm Valerie Sanderson and in the early hours of Tuesday, the 1st of July, these are our main stories. Reports from across Gaza say dozens of Palestinians have been killed in renewed Israeli attacks. The International Criminal Court says it was the target of a sophisticated cyber attack during last week's NATO summit in the Hague. Microsoft says it's found that artificial intelligence can diagnose complex medical problems with far greater success rate than human experts. Also in this podcast, I was at work when I got a message that I won a large amount of money and I went in and it was 3.9 million instead of 390 krona. A Norwegian lottery company has apologised to nearly 50,000 people who were wrongly told that they'd won here huge prizes. We begin in Gaza, where Palestinian officials say at least 60 people have been killed across the Strip by a wave of Israeli airstrikes and artillery fire. The bombardment follows the largest evacuation orders issued by Israel since the war with Hamas resumed in March. Among the dead were around 20 people at a beachfront cafe used by Palestinian journalists and activists in Gaza City. This man saw the blast and ran to help. Everyone was happy sitting in the cafe. They were escaping the sadness. Then the missile hit. It tore into the children, the women, the men and the workers. No one was spared. We heard more from our correspondent in Jerusalem, Ione Wells. This beachfront cafe is somewhere that was known as a place for journalists, for activists, people looking for a spot to work because it had Internet access and chairs and tables there. Medics, eyewitnesses and the Hamas run civil defense have said that at least 21 people have been killed after an airstrike hit that cafe on this seafront in Gaza City. Now, photos from the scene show people covered in blood. A cameraman with a local production company has told the BBC that people heard a massive explosion there and that there were bodies and blood everywhere. Now, this is part of a series of airstrikes that took place across Gaza on Monday. We've had reports too from Al Ahli hospital saying that 10 people were killed in an airstrike strike on the Islam Aid distribution warehouse. Another report from Nasser Hospital saying 13 people were killed in a strike near an aid distribution center too. All of this is after Israel announced a wave of evacuation orders for areas in the north of Gaza, but also around Gaza City too, telling people to move south because of what it described as its use of intense force to expand and intensify its operations to, in its words, destroy Hamas's military capabilities. I mean, Israel has acknowledged today, hasn't it, it, that Palestinian civilians have been harmed at aid distribution points in Gaza and lessons have been learned, apparently. Is that a change, do you think, in the official position? I mean, what does it mean? Well, it's interesting because as we know, over the last couple of weeks, since the Gaza Humanitarian foundation, this organization backed by the US And Israel, started operating most of the aid distribution centers in Gaza, there have been near daily reports of Israeli fire killing people while seeking aid or on their way to seek aid. Now, the Israeli military in the past has acknowledged that it has fired what is described as warning shots at people it describes as suspects approaching troops. But it hasn't sort of directly commented on some reports of people being harmed. It's often said that it is investigating cases or looking into them. This statement today from the Israeli military says that they are reorganizing the aid centers, including installing fences and signs following incidents of reports where civilians were harmed. It says it will be issuing instructions from lessons learned, although hasn't said what those lessons will be. Interestingly, Israeli media are reporting military sources admitting more than that, admitting that there have been people killed in what it's described as inaccurate artillery fire on certain occasions. Now, I've put that to the Israeli military. They say there is no further comment at this time, but they have said that incidents of harm are under review by authorities. Ione Wells in Jerusalem. Michelle Barak is a political analyst and pollster based in Jerusalem who was an advisor to Benjamin Netanyahu before he became Israel. Israeli Prime Minister Paul Henley asked him, what does he think Mr. Netanyahu's Gaza strategy is right now? I think now that he's had a big win in Iran and especially with the United States. I mean, if the United States became not only in a defensive nature like had been done before when Iranian missiles came in in April and last year, but in, in a very proactive way to destroy their nuclear capabilities. That's a big win for Netanyahu. It's a big win strategically, defensively, militarily, because it does seem to be that their desire, their capability to produce a nuclear bomb has been diminished, if not totally obliterated. I'm sorry to interrupt. I'm sorry to interrupt. What I'm asking about is the strategy for Gaza. Now, we've been reporting on what's been happening there. In order to do that, I have to give you the background of where his head is and how he's going to be able to negotiate because until now he wasn't able to do a deal in Gaza to get the hostages back and end the war because he would lose his government. The right element in his government was threatening to leave if he would make any kind of deal. Now that he has this huge win in Iran, which is both a military win and a geopolitical one in which the United States came to the serious aid of Israel and was involved in many different levels. So it gives him the latitude and the ability to make a deal and keep his government intact. So it is connected. There is speculation in the Israeli media that some generals in the IDF consider the military's close to completing its objectives. Is that correct? In Gaza, I mean. No, close to completing the objectives means that the Hamas is totally wiped out. Hamas has been, you know, they could end this war at any time over the last year and a half. All they have to do is release the hostages and leave and stop governing. Instead they, you know, steal aid and they still have hostages. So the Israeli goal is, is to destroy Hamas and to make sure that we get our hostages back. So it's hard to say that we're close to doing that because we still have a number of hostages there and Hamas is still controlling things and is still in charge. Mitchell Barak, a former advisor to Prime Minister Netanyahu. Well, Britain's High Court has ruled that the government's decision to export military equipment to Israel is lawful despite accepting it could be used in breaches of international humanitarian law. In Gaz, the case was brought by a Palestinian human rights group, Al Haq, which sought to block the British government from supplying components for Israeli F35 fighter jets. Caroline Holley has been following the case. This is the end of a long running legal battle first brought by human rights groups at the end of 2023. Last September, the government suspended about 30 export licenses for UK made arms because of a clear risk they could be used in Gaza in violations of international law. But parts sent to the global F35 programme were not included. Giving their 72 page written ruling, the judges said they'd had to decide whether the UK should withdraw from a specific multilateral defence collaboration. It was an acutely sensitive and political issue, they determined. That was for a democratic government, not the courts, to decide. The charity Oxfam called on the UK government to do, in its words, what was morally right and immediately suspend all arms sales to Israel. The campaign group Human Rights Watch said it was incredibly disappointed with the decision at a time of what it called Israel's Ongoing atrocities in Gaza. Lawyers for the human rights groups involved in the case are now working out if they can find grounds to appeal. Caroline Hawley in Iran the funeral took place on Monday of the family members of a leading scientist who was assassinated by Israel during the 12 day war early this month. Iran says at least 935 people were killed, including 38 children. Our chief international correspondent Lyse Doucet is being allowed to report in Iran on condition that none of her reports are used on the BBC's Persian service. And Lis was at that funeral. On the seventh day of a fragile ceasefire, Iran is still bearing the dead. But these aren't funerals for top military commanders or nuclear scientists targeted by Israel. These are for family members of the scientists killed in the last hours before the ceasefire took hold. The family of Syed Siddiqui Saber. Twelve members of his family were killed in all and today four members are being laid to rest. Include the smallest coffin which is of a six year old boy. Scenes like this heighten the anger among Iranians, whether or not they support their government over this war, a war in which Israel said it was only targeting military and nuclear sites. It's clear that civilians were also suffering. Lis Doucet In Iran, the International Criminal Court says it was the target of a sophisticated cyber attack during last week's NATO summit in the Hague. The ICC investigates some of the world's most serious crimes and holds highly sensitive information. From the Hague, here's Anna Holligan. The ICC said the incident was swiftly detected and dealt with by its security teams and a comprehensive analysis is underway to assess the impact and any potential consequences. Consequences the timing of the attack coincided with the NATO summit in the Hague, but the ICC has not commented on whether there is any connection. Dutch officials have noted that pro Russian hackers targeted various websites during the gathering of world leaders. Though no specific suspects have been mentioned in the ICC case, this is the second major cyber incident the ICC has faced in recent years. In 2023, the court suffered a breach that disrupted operations for weeks. But details of that attack, including whether sensitive information was compromised, were never disclosed. Anna Holligan Health systems around the world are increasingly strained, but could artificial intelligence come to the rescue by reducing doctors workloads, saving money and providing a better outcome for patients? Microsoft has been looking at real cases. Published in the New England Journal, its AI tool was pitted against a group of experience experienced doctors to see who diagnosed the cases correctly. It says AI was far superior correctly diagnosing 85% of cases. The CEO of Microsoft, Al Mustafa Suleiman spoke to the BBC's Rob Young about the study. We take 300 very long cases that often run to five to seven pages of very detailed information that is often presented by a patient, including pathology tests and radiology scans. And on average, our expert physicians get about 20% accuracy in trying to predict, given what they've read about the patient, what is the condition that they have. And our AI gets 85% accuracy. 85% is pretty phenomenal, and four times more than your average expert physician is incredibly impressive. What are you doing to get it to 100%? Or is that just not possible? Some of these cases are extremely obscure, long tail, very rare conditions. In fact, we ran the system on last week's edition of the New England Journal of Medicine and it correctly diagnosed a case that has only ever been seen in the entire literature 1500 times. So it's that rare and that obscure. And I think that that is a seismic leg up for any clinician in practice to be able to have a tool like this at hand. So how could this be used then in the real healthcare setting of today? Well, one of the most expensive parts of the process is just being able to figure out what exactly the patient has. And you have to go off and commission various tests. And so what the AI is very good at is trying to predict what the patient has and minimize the costs involved in prediction. So it actually does this using fewer unnecessary tests. And that obviously is huge for cost, it's huge for time, and obviously it's great for improving patient care. So could you see a world in which we speak to this system or a system like it on an app which would order tests rather than somebody having to go in to see their general practitioner, for example? Yes, at Microsoft AI, we create an AI called Copilot and we get between Microsoft Copilot and Bing, our search engine, we get 50 million health related sessions per day. So there are people coming and asking about everything from, you know, falling over and scratching your knee through to much more complicated cases around cancer or mental health problems. And so the motivation here is to try to enable Copilot to provide great diagnosis and eventually great treatment. So are you suggesting you would offer this, generally you just put this out there for free online and people would use it? This wouldn't necessarily have to be something that a health system or a nation's health service would buy. I think right now this is early research, it's pre peer review. It's important to say so it's a blog post that we're releasing. There's studies that have been done using the New England Journal of Medicine papers and case histories. So it's early research, but it's very, very promising. The British doctor Ellie Cannon already uses AI to aid her consultations, but she thinks the study by Microsoft is too narrow. I think we have to be very skeptical about this type of sort of headline. I mean, first of all, this is a blog post, very much an advert for a Microsoft product. This has not been trialled in any way, shape or form like other types of evidence based medicine. And I think one thing that's very, very important, especially for a worldwide audience, you know, the data in is the data out. So if the data that is fed is only coming from certain populations, we're still going to end up with the same inequality that we already have in health care, if they're not going to be diagnosed, if they're slightly more atypical, which we've seen over the last few decades with women of color, for example, who have different symptoms from other women. So I'm pretty skeptical, despite being somebody who's quite interested in AI. Dr. Ellie Cannon. Still to come, police discovered a palm print on a rear window. But despite collecting thousands of prints from men and boys locally, they were unable to identify a suspect.

The US Senate has been voting on amendments to what's being called the big beautiful bill by President Trump and his supporters. Mr. Trump wants the legislation, which would extend the tax cuts and increase spending from his first term in office, signed into law by the fourth of July. That's Independence Day. It's a hugely contentious bill and the most senior Democratic senator, Chuck Schumer, called on Republicans not to support it. So what are my colleagues on the Republican side going to do? Listen to someone who just makes things up. Listen to someone who peddles lies and fantasies. Follow Donald Trump off a political cliff by passing a bill that will be disastrous for the people back home? Or will my colleagues stand up for the American people, stand up to protect health care, good paying jobs, middle class families. The Republican Senate Majority Leader, John Tune, is still looking to secure the support of several Republican senators. He's rejected criticism of the bill. This is good for America. This is good for the American people. It's good for working families. And it's been a long debate. I know people are weary, but at the end of the day, we want to get this done so this country safer and stronger and more prosperous, not only for today, but for future generations of Americans. I spoke to our North America correspondent, Jake Kwan with critics saying this is a bill that takes from the poor to give to the rich. Is that borne out? Why? What's in it? This has to do with the big tax cuts that's in the bill. Right? This is the bill that keeps the tax cuts that President Trump installed in 2017. And he cuts taxes across the board, which Mr. Trump says is going to help poor Americans. But. But while it collects less money from the people, it increases spending on border protection, deportation efforts and other measures to boost Mr. Trump's domestic agenda. So it's expected to add $3.3 trillion to the national debt. And this is not making Republicans happy. So what they try to do was they try to balance the budget by cutting back on welfare, like food assistance and health insurance for low income earners and families. And what, what the critics are arguing is that this is going to take from the poor and give to the rich. And the Republican side, what they're arguing is that they're merely removing people who are frauding the system and removing inefficiencies from the programs. So how is this bill you've described it is obviously hugely contentious. How is it progressing through the Senate? I suppose the key question is, will it pass? Well, it does look like it may pass. And it has gone through the Senate earlier just by one vote to be brought onto the floor to the debate. And it is going through a process called Votorama, where these senators bring amendments to the bill and then they can quickly vote on them. But this is something that takes hours to go through and we'll need to see if it passes, because if it passes, it needs to go back to the House of Representatives for another round of amendments and votes. Now, the President has set the deadline as July 4, the American independence Day, but it's still up in the air because the House, the margin there between the Democrats and the Republicans is even slimmer. And there are quite a few Republican lawmakers who were not happy with the changes that were made at the Senate. If it does pass, I mean, what does that mean for the Trump administration? Will this be seen as a huge feather in Donald Trump's hat? Oh, for certainly. Mr. Trump has been championing this bill for months now. He named it big beautiful bill himself and he constantly posts about it on social media endorsing it. So he has invested a lot of his political capital. And the question really, question is even if it passes, how are the voters gonna feel about it when the midterm comes next year? Because we're only, you know, more than just a little more than a away from it. Jake Kwon in Washington. After two months of testimony from more than 30 witnesses, jurors in the high profile sex trafficking trial in New York of Sean Diddy Combs have begun deliberations. The 55 year old US rapper is charged with sex trafficking, racketeering, conspiracy and transportation to engage in prostitution. If found guilty of the most serious charges, he could face life in prison. He denies them all. However, within hours of starting deliberations, the judge was informed about a potential problem. Our correspondent Nomar Iqbal, who was outside the courthouse in New York explains, the foreman sent a note and said, we have a juror number 25. You were concerned, cannot follow your honour's instructions. The only information we have about this juror is that it's a 51 year old male from Manhattan. I guess what it does under line is how complicated this case is. The verdicts have to be unanimous. But if, let's just say they decide that the jury can't continue, then they do have backup jurors. They've all gone home for the day. So that would require them to be called back. But we're not at that stage yet. Sean Diddy Combs is no ordinary record producer, executive producer. He is someone who is incredibly iconic. And the judge said the burden of proof is on the government to prove his guilt beyond reasonable doubt. So Sean Diddy Combs doesn't have to prove his innocence. And so just to remind you, again, this is the government's case. They say that Sean Diddy Combs, they painted a very vivid picture of him as some sort of mob boss, the kingpin of a huge empire of wealth and influence which he built. But they say he used to carry out bribery, violence, blackmail, sexual abuse, that at the center of this were these so called freak offs, sex parties or orgies that were fueled by drugs and alcohol. And there were two women who were the alleged victims. Cassandra Ventura, his former girlfriend, and another woman by the pseudonym of Jane. But the defense's argument is that Sean Diddy Combs had a very strange sex life, very extreme sex life, but that their view is this was kinky, not criminal, it's his private life and that the prosecution overreached. The government essentially is criminalizing him for his sexual behavior and they believe this was all consensual. Noma Iqbal in New York. Here In Britain, a 92 year old man has been convicted of the murder and rape of a woman 58 years ago in what's thought to be the oldest cold case ever solved in the uk. Louisa Dunn was found dead in her home in Bristol in England in June 1967. Detectives looked again at the case in 2023 and sent items from the original investigation for DNA testing. John Maguire reports from Bristol Crown Court. Louisa Dunn was 75 years old when Ryland Headley broke into her home in Bristol before attacking and killing her in 1967. Neighbors found her body lying on a pile of old clothing. Police discovered a palm print on a rear window. But despite collecting thousands of prints from men and boys locally, they were unable to identify a suspect. With few clues, they preserved evidence from the murder scene. And a cold case review in 2023 led to a major breakthrough. DNA from Mrs. Dunn's skirt had a one in a billion match to Headley, now Libyan, suffered. He'd been convicted of raping elderly women in Ipswich in the 1970s. This afternoon, Mary Dainton, Louisa Dunn's granddaughter, said the guilty verdict brought some solace after so many painful years. I have rarely talked to anyone about this until now. Since Ryland Headley was charged, I've struggled emotionally in ways I did not anticipate. And it falls to me to stand speak for people who are no longer here. It saddens me deeply that all the people who knew and love Louisa are not here to see that justice is done. Detective Inspector Dave Marchant of Avon and Somerset police says Headley's crimes showed a pattern of behavior. Headley, who has a shocking and abhorrent history of violent sexual attacks on elderly women, brutally attacked Louisa in her own own home, where she should have been safe. Her murder left a community in shock and there are people living in Bristol today who can remember the impact this crime had on the city. He may have thought he'd escaped justice, time and distance keeping him out of reach. But modern forensic techniques have solved a crime after almost 60 years. And Ryland Headley, aged 92 is now a convicted murderer. John Maguire reporting. The Chinese Communist Party says it's reached 100 million members, adding a million since last year. In 2024, the population of China was estimated at 1.4 billion people. In keeping with tradition, the membership data was released a day ahead of Tuesday's celebrations marking the party's founding more than a century ago. The data showed that almost 40 million are female and the majority of members are over the age of 61. I got more details on the eve of the celebrations from our China media analyst, Kerry Allen. It is pretty huge and there's widespread media attention on this today. Everywhere you look in Chinese media, there's a large focus on the figures originally being in the double digits back in 1921 and nearly a century later reaching this level, there's a lot of fanfare. The Communist Party has been in power for 76 years, since 1949, and state media, which is dominant in China. China is saying this is something to celebrate. It shows that the Party has come a long way from its roots in the beginning in the 1920s to what it is today. But is this about patriotism or is this about career advancement? I'd say it's very much about patriotism. I mean, one thing as well that we have to consider is that China does have a huge population. And even though the Communist Party does lead messaging, the number of members is actually only about 7% of the population. And today, if you look on social media platforms, you'll get this impression that every social media user who is posting is a Communist Party member, but it only represents a very small amount of the population. But some of the comments I've seen, for example, have been from users talking about how they see being a Communist Party member as part of their identity, a responsibility and an obligation. And you do get this a lot in Communist Party messaging. A real emphasis that it's a unified party, that it's the nation pulling together and that. That people should join the party, that it's almost a responsibility because of how much the party has given back over recent decades. And age is no barrier, is it? I mean, there's quite a lot of attention on a 92 year old actor deciding to join now. Yes, absolutely. So there's been a video that's been doing the rounds today from Chinese broadcaster CCTV showing that this 92 year old actor has said that he's decided to join in recent months because he feels he's not done enough for his country. And actually the majority of this 100 million population is over the age of 60. But state media are also keen to stress that there's also been a growth amongst members under the age of 30. So in particular, there's a real emphasis that the very young demographic are starting to increasingly become members in the Communist Party. But what happens if you don't join? Will you suffer for it? You won't suffer, No. I mean, again, it only represents a very small amount of the population, but I think if you are a member, then you've got a lot of opportunities in the workplace. It's seen as something that's very positive. And the idea of social responsibility in China is something that can go very far. So I think there are people who think that if they are members that it could take them places. I think there's a real recognition of that in China. Our China media analyst, Kerry Allen. Now, have you ever tried to scam a scammer replying to their dodgy messages or stringing them along on the phone? Well, the Commonwealth bank of Australia has taken that idea to the next level. They've rolled out an army of AI powered bots, complete with Aussie accents and backstories, to chat with scammers in fake calls and texts. But will it really prevent fraud? Sam Fedeck asked Dali Khafar, the bots creator and CEO of Apite, the company behind the technology, about how it works in practice. We've built an army of what we call perfect victim bots. So these are AI Personas, in fact, thousands of them, with different accents, different ages, different genders, different personalities, different attitudes, even to the colors themselves. And they can be really speaking very different languages and different dialects. And these army of realistic AI bots are really designed and specifically built to engage scammers across phone calls or messaging platform. And their objective is really to waste the scammers time and waste the resources of these scammers who are placing calls or engaging with them. So you're effectively scamming the scammers? That's exactly it. We're flipping the tables against the scammers and we're scamming the scammers. And the idea is really to disrupt their business model. Indeed. So it won't be that they will prevent attacks on the bank, they will go out and gather intelligence, really. And waste their time so that they can't attack the bank. Exactly right. So this is pretty much a different way of really approaching the problem of scam. Right. We know that the scam problem is a massive challenge and so far, for decades, really, we've been struggling with this problem. And the idea here is that rather than just taking a very reactive way to the issue, to the challenge, is to be really proactive about it. So it's really a paradigm shift by taking really this approach of saying let's really disrupt their operations and the operations behind these scammers and breaking their business model itself and pretty much really making sure that they have very little capacity to reach out to actual victims. And wasting their time is one thing, of course, but also making sure that they're occupied, they're busy really engaging with what they think are their perfect victims is the ultimate goal, essentially because one scammer busy engaging with what they think is their target is a scammer who's not placing thousands of other calls towards possible genuine customers. And this is really how it's becoming a very proactive way of preventing the scam to happen. Dali Khafa, the bot's creator and CEO of the Apathy AI technology company, Norway's state owned lottery company, has been forced to apologize to nearly 50,000 players who were told mistakenly they'd won huge sums of money. Norris Tipping said the mistake happened after a euro jackpot draw on Friday and was due to an error converting euros to the Norwegian kroner. Winnings were multiplied by 100 instead of being divided by 100. The CEO of the company has since resigned. Christian Fraser spoke to Halvor Bergam and his girlfriend Isla Anderson. Olafsson, however, said he'd had plans on how to use the money. We're planning to build a house next year, so the money would come in really handy. So tell me about the message that you got. I was at work when I got a message that I won a large amount of money and I went in and it was 3.9 million instead of 390krona. Right. And it's. How much is that in. In UK pounds? I will guess about 350 pounds. How did you find out that they got it so wrong and how long after the original message? Well, Halvor called me like straight afterwards and he was at work and I just said, well, we just need to take a break, breathe a little bit. And about 20 minutes later, it was through the news channel that we found out that it was a flaw. So for 20 minutes you'd lived in this blissful situation that you could buy a new house, that you could start your life together without a mortgage. And then the realization suddenly dawned. Yeah. Did I also read that you, Halvor, proposed on Friday night that you, you proposed to Islam? Would you have done that had you not thought you were going to win the money? No, I didn't do it like that, but I thought maybe I had had opportunity to do it when I received the money. Well, I suppose I should say congratulations on your impending engagement, but. But also I'm guessing that you, you wouldn't have done that. You. You proposed preemptively, did you? On the basis that they'd given you the wrong information? Yeah. He said it when he got home from work that his first thought was to not come at all and then wait over the weekend, go buy a ring and then propose. I could take me somewhere and just propose like. Have you had an apology from the company? Yeah, I got the text message this morning saying that it was a mistake and I apologized. Is that enough? I still feel really disappointed by the lottery. Yeah. Have you thought about taking legal advice? I think they have secured themselves through all the rules that saying that the notification you get through the application is only like a pre message. You have to wait for the mail or the call for it to be final. Your action would probably not take us anywhere. But you weren't the only couple that were called or given the wrong message. There were thousands of others. Did others go out and spend the money? Yeah. We heard about people buying vacations, popping their most expensive champagne and even one guy paying for everyone at the restaurant. It was. Well, listen, at least there is a little bit of good news that's come out of it. You are getting engaged. So we will wish you congratulations for that and we hope you have a happy life together. Thank you. And maybe a lottery win somewhere along the line. Many happy endings we hope for them in the future. That was Halva Bergam and his girlfriend Islyn Anderson Olafson.
