BBCNEWS Verified July 4, 2024

In on that breeze. Not a bad day, actually, for many of us. Some Sunshine Looks like it could break through. And, again, were in that milder air with temperatures up to around about 1a to 16 for most of us. This is bbc news, the headlines redefining extremism at the uk government names groups that are a cause for concern and could face restrictions. Us Senate Majority leader Chuck Schumer says Benjamin Netanyahu is a major obstacle to peace as israel vows to push ahead with its rafah offensive. Elon musk� s Spacex Mission is hailed a success even though the Starship Rocket is lost on re entry to earth. Tiktok warrants a us ban could cost us businesses billions of dollars and thousands ofjobs. And for the first time in its history, glastonbury will have to female Headline Acts. Find out which artists get the prestigious sports. Just before we go to business, some Breaking News to bring you involving a plane which was carrying the defence minister grant shapps on his way back from poland to britain. According to a government source, the gps signal on the plane was interfered with for about 30 minutes while the plane flew close to Russias Baltic enclave of kaliningrad. That meant Mobile Phones could no longer connect to the internet and the aircraft was forced to use alternative methods to determine its location. This was confirmed by the pms spokesperson but also added this was not unusual. The exact quote is, while travelling back from poland yesterday the plane carrying the Defence Secretary and delegation temporarily experienced gps jamming. Delegation temporarily experienced gpsjamming. It delegation temporarily experienced gps jamming. It didnt threaten the safety of the aircraft and it is not unusualfor safety of the aircraft and it is not unusual for aircraft to experience gps jamming near kaliningrad which is russian territory. If we get any more details on the significance of that, we will let you now but it is time to get all the business news. It wasnt quite third time lucky for spacexs latest attempt to launch its mammoth Starship Rocket. The team lost contact with the rocket as they tried to bring it back down to earth. Its an improvement on previous launches, the first of which exploded four minutes after lift off. So is it progress, Orjust Work In Progress . I spoke to Technology Journalist Chris Stokel Walker and asked him how this compares to the previous efforts. The first Two Flamed Out significantly and this one, we have to bear in mind, it has ticked off some successes. 230km of altitude, thats further and faster than ever before. It got through several stages and actually got into orbit. The re entry proved to be the issue. We had some hints that maybe something was a little bit wrong because we lost a little telemetry data and a little bit of video feed, but it does suggest that things are progressing and, for elon musk, who is trying to run this company as almosta service user for nasa, that is a significant moment. I think one step back but maybe two steps forward. Therefore, talk to me about the possible implications, one assumes this will be eventually successful with enough tests, what does this unlock in terms of commercial opportunities for space . Its worth pointing out exactly what this is. This is the Starship System that is developed by spacex, designed to be a reusable rocket, a way of getting both cargo and people into space outside of earths orbit. One of the things weve seen over the last decade or more is that nasa, the European Space agency and more National Space agencies that are government funded have drawn back funding for these kinds of efforts as budgets get tighter and things get more difficult. In their place, we are seeing private Enterprises Like spacex starting to offer those services. For spacex, if they manage to get this right, its the fulfilment of a multi billion Dollar Contract with nasa that would involve them essentially shipping people and cargo up into space for regular missions that happen. I think the ultimate goal is that this will be part of nasas moon programme, artemis. The big goal is it will eventually get back onto the moon and nasa cannot do that by themselves any more so spacex will help them out. Lets look at the social media app tiktok. Its Chief Executive has vowed to keep on fighting after the us House Of Representatives passed a bill that could lead to the app being banned in america. Shou zi chew released a video on tiktok threatening legal action and warning that, if the bill becomes law, it will mean the end of tiktok for its 170 million users in the us. Heres some of that video. Hi, everyone, its shou here. Just wanted to share some thoughts with our us users on the disappointing vote in the House Of Representatives. There has been a lot of misinformation and i hope to clarify some things. First, thank you to all of our incredible community, you are what makes tiktok so special. Thank you for making your voices heard. Over the last few years, we have invested to keep your data safe and our platform free from outside manipulation. We have committed that we will continue to do so. This legislation, if signed into law, will lead to a ban on tiktok in the united states. Even the bill sponsers admit that is their goal. This bill gives more power to a handful of other social media companies. It will also take billions of dollars out of the pockets of creators and small businesses. It will put more than 300,000 american jobs at risk and it will take away your tiktok. In a fresh development, the Chinese Government has accused american politicians of acting against the principles of fair competition and International Trade. With more on that, heres our correspondent stephen mcdonell, in beijing. Chinas Foreign Ministry spokesperson has accused us politicians of adopting the logic of bandits, of essentially stealing Media Platform, tiktok. He said this went against the norms of International Trade and was an attempt to suppress an Excellent International company. This is, of course, a very complicated matter. The advocates of this bill would argue that tiktok represents a Security Threat because its parent company, bytedance, here in china, if it were asked by the Communist Party to pass on data from users, would have to do so according to chinese law. Now, that law does exist but that doesnt mean that tiktok has passed on this data or that its even been asked to do so. But the Chinese Government, the way they see it, is this surprisingly successful local company that, against all expectations, has developed a social Media Platform thats been massively successful internationally, at the height of its powers, is now being told, youve got to sell this or shut down in the us. The company doesnt like it and neither does the Chinese Government. Its going into bat for one of its Tech Champions and this is the direction it wants to push the chinese economy in and so i think we can expect that, as this bill goes into the senate and as the debate becomes more fierce, there will be more barbs flying back and forth from beijing to washington and all the way back here again. Now, one of the big challenges societies have to contend with is the fact were all getting older. Generations of today are living much longer than their grandparents. An average baby born today should expect to live to 73, its near enough doubled in the past 100 years. Of course, this creates burdens on welfare and health care but also opportunities. Earlier, i spoke to andrew scott, author of new Book Building a Better Society for healthier, longer lives. Hes also a professor of economics at London Business school. I asked him whether an ageing population is an opportunity or a threat for the world. Like Climate Change and ai, if we can adapt and adjust, we can ensure it is a good future, not a bad future. Something quite radical has changed because, as you said, global Life Expectancy is now over 70. For the first time in Human History the young can expect to become old not just a few of them but most of them. What now needs to begin is a second longevity revolution, we have to change how we age. We have to invest more in our future to ensure we are notjust living longer, we are healthier for longer, productive for longer and engaged for longer. We need to change how we live and how we support ourselves. And this is about a change in the mind set of what ageing means, it feels even now like an Old Fashioned concept that we might get to 60, 65 and we then suddenly stop being a contributor to society through work and our lives and we become a burden, you start drawing a pension and therefore become a burden on the state. That has to change, doesnt it . We can contribute much longer. I think the words ageing society are really bad because it focuses on end of life and older people, we need to focus on a Longevity Society that says we are becoming old, how do we age better . But we have a problem where we underestimate the capacity of older people and underestimate the capacity of our later life and we underinvest in it. This then brings the very outcomes we fear. It is a terrible thing, this ageing society narrative, which has taken one of the greatest achievements of the 20th century, fewer children dying in their early years, fewer parents snatched away in midlife, more grandparents to see their grandchildren and we say its a problem. It is a wonderful opportunity but we now have to reconstruct society to make the most of that. Youre watching bbc news. Hi, im nellie, im 11 years old and im from lincoln.

I mean, there is a lot of fuss about two the years . I mean, there is a lot of fuss about two the headline years . I mean, there is a lot of| fuss about two the Headline Acts being female, which is a first. We have had decades of all three headliners being male and no one made a comment about that. We are in a golden era about women in pop with the brits and the grammys dominated by women and perhaps glastonbury missed a trick by not having three female headliners and for there to not be a comment about it because there are so many female artist to choose from at the moment. The attitude throughout the biggest artist at the moment you might well go for three women so that is perhaps an opportunity missed, as you say, on the behalf of glastonbury.
