that services must take to keep children safer. they include robust age checks to prevent children seeing harmful content and such material must be filtered out or downranked in recommended content. so, how ground—breaking is this, and what are the implications for tech companies? dr sam fowles is a barrister specialising in this sector. good to have you on the programme. we are talking about 40 new steps that tech firms have to adhere to. what does this really mean in the law? does this really have teeth? yes, potentially, is the answer. the 0nline safety act, passed last year, that puts quite a radical duty on tech companies who have always said we are just publishers are not responsible for content of what

is on the platform. the 0nline safety act says with respect to children, now you are, you have a duty to protect children. however, that duty was quite broad. it did not have much detail. the code is put more flesh on the bones of that. the code is essentially 0fcom saying, this is what compliance with your legal duty looks like. even though the court is not enforceable in of itself, it shows you how to comply with the legal duties up, under the 0nline safety act to protect children. it 0nline safety act to protect children. , , children. it is interesting that some _ children. it is interesting that some of _ children. it is interesting that some of the - children. it is interesting that some of the leading j that some of the leading campaigners who have been looking to try to protect children, parents who have lost children, parents who have lost children, sadly, in circumstances linked to harmful content online, are saying this is just not strong enough, the reaction of 0fcom in terms of the steps they are taking. yes. i think the _ the steps they are taking. yes. i think the criticism _ the steps they are taking. yes. i think the criticism that - the steps they are taking. yes. i think the criticism that is - i think the criticism that is being made of it is that it is

all a bit surface level. 0fcom are targeting the right areas, they looking at age checks, whether the algorithms recommend harmful content, and they looking at content moderation. however, the core problem seems to be though not a technological problem, but a business problem. the business problem is the way that algorithms work in these sort of sites, they want to get you hooked and draw you in. they do that by recommending more extreme or intensive content in the area you are interested in. if you are interested in football, they will offer you more and more intense football content. fine if it is football but more of a problem if it is something harmful and that is what parents are worried about. very quickly in summary, tech

companies, the likes of meta and tick—tock, will it change behaviour — — tiktok, will it change the behaviour of what kids see? it will have to change it to certain extent but the question is how tough 0fcom will be in enforcing this. 0fcom has them trump towers. they can fine up to 10% of global turnover but the question will be will they use the powers and —— 0fcom has 10% of turnover powers. the powers and -- 0fcom has 1096 of turnover powers.— of turnover powers. more of that online. _ let's get some of the day's other news now. a nationwide issue which caused huge delays at passport e—gates has been resolved, the home office has said. airports including heathrow, gatwick, edinburgh, birmingham, bristol, newcastle and manchester all confirmed a border force problem was causing delays with arrivals late on tuesday. apple has announced

a new line—up of ipad tablets with a powerful ai chip, called the m4. the new devices are the company's first ipad release in two years. that's the longest gap in ipad releases since they first launched in 2010. apple is expected to make a series of more ambitious ai announcements at its worldwide developers conference next month. meanwhile, the us has revoked export licences that allow companies to ship goods, including advanced semiconductors, to the chinese tech company huawei. the move follows the release last month of huawei's first ai—enabled laptop, the matebook x pro, powered by an intel processor. republicans in congress have been urging president biden to take tougher action to reign in huawei. the short video app tiktok has filed a lawsuit in the united states aiming to block a law that could ban it in the us. the social media platform described the legislation as an "extraordinary intrusion

on free speech rights". michelle fleury is in new york for us with the latest. tiktok is hugely popular in america. 170 million people use the platform to communicate in america. lawmakers are not very keen. congress and the biden administration believe the app and the chinese owners bytedance could be a danger to national security. the argument goes that beijing could manipulate americans and derail them. they have given the company the day before the next us president takes office, january temporary 20, to sell or face january temporary 20, to sell orface a ban in the united states. tiktok is fighting back, challenging the constitutionality of the new law arguing in its legalfiling for the first time in history, congress has enacted a law that subjects a single named speech platform to a permanent nationwide ban. the company also says it is not possible

legally, technically, or commercially to divest in that timeframe. part of the challenge is that with a billion users worldwide, a lot of its content is available across borders, making it all harder to armpit. the us justice department declined to comment but this is what white house press akrotiri karine jean—pierre said when asked why joe biden relates that to his presidential campaign. campaign have to speak— presidential campaign. campaign have to speak that _ presidential campaign. campaign have to speak that themselves i have to speak that themselves but we have been clean what this law is not a ban, it is our divestment.- this law is not a ban, it is our divestment. ~ our divestment. the tiktok ceo, who appeared — our divestment. the tiktok ceo, who appeared with _ our divestment. the tiktok ceo, who appeared with his _ our divestment. the tiktok ceo, who appeared with his wife - our divestment. the tiktok ceo, who appeared with his wife at. who appeared with his wife at the met gala last night, is hoping tiktok�*s other recent first amendment victories in the us, like blocking the state of montana's bid to ban it will help her prevail again. 0utside help her prevail again. outside the courts, it's best hopes in a general election year is the

donald trump to retake the white house, given that one of his big backers in a major republicanjonah, jeff yes, is republican jonah, jeff yes, is also republicanjonah, jeff yes, is also a tiktok investor. let's now focus on the walt disney company. it has recorded its first quarter of profitability in its streaming division after years of losses saying it has added six million new subscribers to disney+. but, overall, the entertainment giant reported a loss of $20 million in its second quarter, more than explained by a $2 billion write—off in india. to boost profits, disney is rolling out a crackdown on password sharing — something implemented successfully by netflix. live now to tom stevenson, investment director at fidelity. good to see you, tom. how are things in the magic kingdom for disney? it has been a torrid

time for several years, with bob iger going and coming back, where is it at right now? like everyone _ where is it at right now? like everyone else _ where is it at right now? like everyone else in _ where is it at right now? like everyone else in the - everyone else in the entertainment business, disney is going through quite a difficult transition and the focus of that you have mentioned is the shift from the cosy world of cable subscriptions to the much more competitive and low margin and hungry world of streaming. i say hungry, it is a hungry beast, you have to keep feeding the streaming service with new content and you have to keep growing subscribers. this is the challenge for disney. it is moving from the old world profitable world to a new competitive world. good news in these results, as you say, the core disney plus streaming service and hulu, its smaller partner, is back in profitability but what the market did not like an this caused a big fall in the share

price yesterday, was the guidance for future quarters was a bit soft. that is what the company is looking for. you're absolutely right. there has been a very painful bordering battle with the activist investor nelson peltz, disney won that and now it has to prove it can get back to profitability on a sustainable basis. that is what the market is suspicious about, it is not sure it can make that transition. i sure it can make that transition.— sure it can make that transition. , , , , transition. i guess it is they watch this _ transition. i guess it is they watch this space _ transition. i guess it is they watch this space scenario. l transition. i guess it is they| watch this space scenario. a lot of the unknowns, one of them being the pandemic and the impact on the theme parks, which has been through a really difficult phase. is it a wait and see approach now because the big challenge is some of them have been sorted out. streaming is one big challenge. the second is the transition,

how to navigate the transition from the pandemic. everything shut down in the pandemic. then there was a return to normal life, if you like, and people started going back to the theme parks. that is now beginning to slow down in the company reference that in the results yesterday, saying there is a slowdown in activity, people going to theme parks and resorts. the third challenge for disney is what happens after bob iger? he has already retired and come back out of retirement to manage this transition for the company but he is 73. he cannot go on forever. the big question is who takes over from him? succession, as we all know too well. have a good week. around the world and across the uk, this is bbc news.

like the cost of living? they also raised concerns about al also raised concerns about ai will get into the wrong hands and be used by cyber criminals looking to launch attacks from the system. again, while there are plenty of dangers here, the panel at this conference in switzerland also said they agree there are great benefits when it comes to the advancements of ai and that is currently being used in some economic models as well as areas to detect fraud. thank ou areas to detect fraud. thank you very _ areas to detect fraud. thank you very much _ areas to detect fraud. thank you very much indeed. - you very much indeed. interesting. we will keep an eye on that. to finland now, where one city is on an ambitious path to become carbon neutral. home to 120,000 people, lahti was once a polluted industrial town, but over the past couple of decades, it's transformed itself. three years ago, it was named europe's �*green capital'. the city runs more than 100 different environmental initiatives, and central to its work has been the involvement of local institutions and community. adrienne murray has been to lahti to find out what lessons other cities can learn. warming upfor warming up for another big game. it's notjust goals that

of that high pressure. could bring a little bit of rain at times across parts of scotland in particular, perhaps the north of northern ireland. but it'll be warming up here. mostly dry elsewhere, though, with some spells of sunshine on the cards. so we are in for a relatively quiet few days of weather. we're likely to start wednesday morning with quite a bit of mist and fog around, especially so for parts of eastern england, also perhaps wales and the southwest of england. could be some misty patches elsewhere. for most, they'll tend to lift and clear, so it'll brighten up. some sunny spells, particularly for england and wales. just the odd isolated shower. more rain moving into the northwest of scotland later on in the afternoon. so temperatures in the northwest, under the cloud, about 13 there for stornoway, but up to around about 21 for the likes of birmingham and london too. so there's that wet weather through wednesday evening. northern ireland, northern and western scotland seeing some outbreaks of rain. further south, most places staying dry, but there should be some mist and some fog that's going to be forming again into the early hours of thursday morning, but certainly mild — many places staying in double figures overnight. so, more of the same on thursday, high pressure still in charge. so a lot of dry weather, mist clearing away gradually. lots of sunshine, i think, for england and wales

by this stage. there just could be the odd isolated shower. again, a little bit more cloud across the north of scotland. temperatures in lerwick only around 11 degrees, but for the bulk of the uk, we're looking at around about 18—22 degrees. and that warming trend will continue as we head into friday, too. so, high pressure still very much in charge. i think by friday, we'll have less in the way of rain and cloud across the north of scotland, and quite widely across the uk. in those spells of sunshine, temperatures will be above 20 degrees. we could see 23 or even 24 down towards the southeast. again, a little bit cooler, especially across the north of scotland and the northern isles in particular. now, heading into the weekend, it looks like high pressure will be sitting out towards the east there. this weather front will just try and nudge in from the west by the time we get to sunday. but saturday, certainly looking dry, fine, pretty warm for all of us. just that chance of a few showers moving into the west as we head through sunday. bye for now.
