prime minister rishi sunak has announced a new package of military aid for ukraine worth £500 million — including 400 vehicles and long range missiles. he was speaking during a visit to poland where he held talks with nato's secretary—general. mr sunak also said uk military spending would rise to 2.5% of national income by 2030 — that's compared to under 2.1% last year. labour has already pledged 2.5% — but only when 'economic conditions allow�*. 0ur political editor,

chris mason, reports. europe's front line — ukrainian tanks heading into battle. a war in our back yard showing no sign of end. in neighbouring poland today, at a military base outside warsaw, the prime minister, his polish opposite number and the secretary—general of the nato defence alliance. and, from rishi sunak, this promise on defence spending... today i'm announcing the biggest strengthening of our national defence for a generation. we will increase defence spending to a new baseline of 2.5% of gdp by 2030. that starts today. is it time to be candid now with people that the costs of supporting ukraine are going to run into the billions and billions for years and years to come? could this last another decade? well, chris, as i touched on, unfortunately, we're living in a more dangerous time than at any

point since the end of the cold war. if we don't deter russia in ukraine, all we're going to do is embolden putin to go even further, and indeed embolden other adversaries around the world. there's no way we can run away from that cost. we have to pay. not least because we need to understand that the most expensive alternative is to allow putin to win in ukraine. labour says it would raise defence spending to 2.5% of national income as soon as resources allow — not as concrete a commitment. i fully support what the prime minister has announced in relation to further funding for ukraine. it's vitally important that we continue to support ukraine against russian aggression. labour added the army had shriveled under the conservatives, but defence posture is changing direction in front of our eyes. what we are seeing in numbers, promises and backdrops

is the politics of defence stepping up, an argumentjust beginning between the conservatives, labour and others over who can be trusted to protect us and how much it's going to cost. from a polish afternoon to the dusk of departure. after the cold war, there was a peace dividend — defence spending shriveled. but in this dangerous world, it is climbing again. in the last hour or so, the prime minister has arrived in berlin for more discussions about defence, tomorrow. generative ai models like chatgpt have been getting better at a breakneck pace, but a! still struggles with some simple tasks that a two—year—old would have no issues with. a team of scientists is trying to solve that problem — by putting headcams on their own young children to better train

artificial intelligence. let's speak to brendan lake, associate professor of psychology and data science at new york university. thank you so much forjoining us on newsday today. can you first tell us more about the baby view study and what you learn by putting a head cam on your baby daughter?— what you learn by putting a head cam on your baby daughter? thank you for havin: me. on your baby daughter? thank you for having me- it's _ on your baby daughter? thank you for having me- it's a _ on your baby daughter? thank you for having me. it's a special— on your baby daughter? thank you for having me. it's a special research - having me. it's a special research project for a variety of reasons, mainly i wanted to see what it would be like to learn language, to learn about the world, through my daughter's eyes. there is a tremendous data gap between the spirit experience the ai tremendous data gap between the spirit experience the a! system has to learn about the world and experience a young child gets. talk about language acquisition for a moment, to reach the language input

and system has to speak, a young child would have to listen to their parents speak for about 100,000 years, so that would be far more experienced than any person can get in their lifetime. so we wanted to learn why children need so much and run this test notjust on massive amounts of data from the web, but just on the experience, assumption of the experience that a single child would get.— of the experience that a single child would net. , ., , ., child would get. some people would be uncomfortable _ child would get. some people would be uncomfortable with _ child would get. some people would be uncomfortable with this - child would get. some people would be uncomfortable with this type - child would get. some people would be uncomfortable with this type of l be uncomfortable with this type of experience, firstly, was your wife on board with it? how did you suggested? it on board with it? how did you suggested?— on board with it? how did you su: rested? , . . , . suggested? it is a rather personal data set in a _ suggested? it is a rather personal data set in a lot _ suggested? it is a rather personal data set in a lot of _ suggested? it is a rather personal data set in a lot of ways, - suggested? it is a rather personal data set in a lot of ways, but first| data set in a lot of ways, but first of all it's not the most interesting video recordings that you can imagine. parents can usually bore their friends imagine. parents can usually bore theirfriends and imagine. parents can usually bore their friends and relatives with photos of their babies, so i don't

think there will be lots of people who want to watch all of the hours collected so far, but on the other hand,it collected so far, but on the other hand, it could be this remarkable opportunity. hopefully my daughter would appreciate it years from now when we could look back and see some of these key experiences in her first years of life, or even search back based on what when we might be talking to her about this, it could be possible we have modules that learn about the world through the experience she is getting. ads, experience she is getting. a computer vision model trained from the child's point of view is more effective than one train from the parents perspective, why do you think that is?— parents perspective, why do you think that is? there has been nice studies that _ think that is? there has been nice studies that looked _ think that is? there has been nice studies that looked at _ think that is? there has been nice studies that looked at that, - studies that looked at that, children playing with toys in the lab, and there's a camera, a head mounted camera on theirforehead and on their parents for head. children,

that work isn't for my love in particular, but children tend to play with objects in the more varied ways. the test lots of different orientations of the objects, the touch them in different ways, they put them in their mouths, and this process provides really interesting training dates that that might help support some of these amazing learning abilities they come to have in the first years of life. still, just training today's ai systems on the tooth —— the dates are a child gets over a few years, we found they are really interesting learning that happens as a! systems. are really interesting learning that happens as ai systems.— are really interesting learning that happens as ai systems. brendan, i am so sor to happens as ai systems. brendan, i am so sorry to jump _ happens as ai systems. brendan, i am so sorry tojump in. — happens as ai systems. brendan, i am so sorry to jump in, we _ happens as ai systems. brendan, i am so sorry tojump in, we have _ happens as ai systems. brendan, i am so sorry tojump in, we have run - happens as ai systems. brendan, i am so sorry tojump in, we have run out . so sorry tojump in, we have run out of time, thank you forjoining us on newsday about your fascinating study. it is the most distant man—made object in the universe — this nasa's voyager one probe — which is currently more

than 15 billion miles from earth. the spaceship, which left the solar system in 2012, can still send data back to earth. the problem is for months nasa says what it has been sending was gibberish. now though — it's making some sense again as our science correspondent victoria gill explains. we have ignition and we have liftoff. a spacecraft bound for a journey no one imagined. when voyager1 launched in 1977, its mission was to explore our solar system. it captured details of saturn's rings and discovered thatjupiter has a thin ring of its own. then itjust kept going. in 2012, it became the first human made object to leave our solar system and enter interstellar space. but last year, after nearly 50 years exploring, something finally went wrong. the data voyager1 was sending back to earth stopped making sense.

nasa engineers worked out that a single chip on its decades—old on board computer had stopped working. to fix it, they transmitted an essential piece of code that was on that broken ship back to the spacecraft from mission control. it took 22.5 hours for that code to reach voyager1 in interstellar space. but this very remote reboot worked. the craft has now sent readable data reporting its health and status back to earth for the first time in five months. a lot of this technology is '60s, not '705. we are now in 2024, which is quite extraordinary. i sit here at my age thinking, "good god, this thing is still going," and it's brilliant. the next step is to get scientific information from the craft, to keep learning from its interstellar mission. by next year, though, voyager 1's ability to generate enough power to operate its instruments is set to come to an end, leaving this tiny icon of space exploration to wander the universe — possibly for eternity.

victoria gill, bbc news. that's all for now — stay with bbc news. hello there. it's not a particularly inspiring weather story at the moment, is it? but we still got that west—east divide across the country. on tuesday, we had the highest temperatures across south wales with 16 degrees, and there was some glorious sunshine at times with a little bit of shelter from the breeze. but out the east, it was disappointingly cool. a brisk northerly wind, temperatures struggled — only around seven degrees across the east yorkshire coast. we're going to keep quite a lot of cloud as well over the next few hours that will prevent temperatures from falling too far. lowest temperatures to start the day on wednesday morning will be in the far north and west of scotland. we could have some thicker cloud and a little bit of drizzle first thing wednesday morning, easing away from south wales and south west england. but again, west will be best

in terms of sunshine. a brisk northerly wind feeding in cloud from time to time, few scattered showers, and keeping those temperatures pegged back to single figures. so a top temperature of nine degrees along east coast, further west we'll see 12 or 13 degrees. now, clear skies will continue through wednesday evening and overnight, and that's going to allow those temperatures to fall away to low single figures. so thursday morning, perhaps a chilly start quite widely across the country. and temperatures low enough in rural areas further north and west for a touch of frost, so gardeners and growers take note. but into thursday, this little weather front here could introduce a slight change. it will certainly bring more in the way of cloud as we go through the latter stages of the morning into the afternoon, and maybe some dribs and drabs of showery rain pushing its way steadily south. so there'll be more cloud a little bit further west, and the temperatures really disappointing for the end of april, 9—13 degrees once again.

moving out of thursday into friday, sees low pressure starting to push in from the south. that will introduce some wetter weather across central and southern england, but potentially a little less cold. so as we close out the month of april, perhaps temperatures in the south back to where they should be for the time of year. but don't expect anything dry, settled and sunny. it's going to stay pretty unsettled. but we could see temperatures back up into the mid—teens for some.

this is bbc news. we'll have the headlines at the top of the hour, as newsday continues straight after hardtalk. welcome to hardtalk. i'm stephen sackur. acting is both an art and a craft. the words are written elsewhere, the action is directed by another but, ultimately, the power of the performance rests on the actor's ability to inhabit the role. so, what does it take to succeed in this precarious profession? well, my guest today, eddie marsan, is one of the uk's most recognisable and popular actors across stage and screen. his roots are genuinely working class and that is something
