The British monarch is keeping calm and carrying on with the planned state visit, as Britain's ambassador to the US has said all appropriate security measures are in place, and Buckingham Palace has said the visit will go ahead as planned. The BBC senior rule correspondent Daniela Ralph reports from Washington DC.

As diplomatic efforts continue to jumpstart the stored negotiations between the United States and Iran, the Iranian foreign minister Abbas Sarakshi has moved on to Russia for talks with President Putin in St. Petersburg. In recent days he's had meetings in Pakistan and Iran's Gulf neighbor Oman.

Arriving in Russia, he said peace talks with the US earlier this month had failed because of what he called Washington's excessive demands. Reports from the US suggest Tehran is now proposing ending the war by reopening the Strait of Hormuz while delaying talks on its nuclear program till later. President Trump has insisted any deal must involve Iran renouncing a nuclear weapon. Our Middle East correspondent Yolanda Nell told me more.

Kuinka Donald Trump tuntuu siltä, että nukleerien tuottaminen on vielä jotain, mitä Iran haluaa käsitellä ja puhua myöhemmin?

really what the US required before it was going to return to any kinds of direct talks. Meanwhile Israeli strikes on Lebanon are continuing. Lebanese officials say at least 14 people were killed on Sunday, while Israel says one of its soldiers was killed by a Hezbollah drone strike in southern Lebanon. All this, I guess, despite ongoing ceasefire. What is the current state of that right now, Yolanda?

Hezbollah on huomannut Israelin vahvistuksen ja sanonut, että se on reagoinut jatkuvasti Suomessa. Ylan Nell, raportointi.

This is the Global News Podcast. The feud between ex-owner Elon Musk and open AI boss Sam Altman has so far perhaps fittingly played out largely on social media. But that's about to change. A case brought by Musk against Altman, which is caught in Oakland, California later. Over the course of the trial, some of the biggest names in tech are expected to give evidence. And it could have big implications for the AI boom as a whole. Our reporter Will Chalk told me more.

Elon Musk ja Sam Altman, he työskentelivät vuonna 2015, kun he löysivät OpenAI. Ja se oli aiemmin, kun AI-järjestelmä, jota me elämme nyt, oli vielä vain unelma heille. Ja yritys oli luotettu melko valitettavasti, ainakin sen yliopistossa. Se oli suunniteltu, että saa maailman dystopian tulevaisuuteen.

I've got their first mission statement in front of me. It said, our goal is to advance digital intelligence in the way that is most likely to benefit humanity as a whole, unconstrained by a need to generate financial return.

Since then, the company has restructured, it's launched ChatGPT, and it's also launched a for-profit arm, which is valued around $850 billion, the company as a whole. Elon Musk left in 2018 after relations turned sour, and in this court case, he's alleging that he was conned, that the $40 million he put in at the start was basically taken under false pretenses,

Ja tietysti OpenAI olivat epäonnistuneita aloittamalla rahaa. Oma alkuperäinen huomio on aika vahvaa kieltä. Se käsittelee tekstikäytöstä Outruism vs. Greed. Se kertoo, että Muskin humanitaarinen tunne oli toivottu, ja että seuraukset ovat Shakespearean suhteita.

He's pushing for more than $130 billion in damages, but he says that will be reinvested into the not-for-profit arm of the business, and he also wants the removal of Sam Altman from the board. So that's Elon Musk's side. As for OpenAI, they say Musk knew about these plans to make money all along, and this is just a smear campaign, motivated by jealousy and regret for walking away, as well as a desire to derail a competing AI company.

He also say that their nonprofit arm still exists and is worth hundreds of billions of dollars. And what is at stake here exactly? Well, I think on one level a lot of people will just be invested in this for the drama at the heart of it. You know, these are huge characters who've been trading insults for years in public. And there are also two men who, like it or not, could have huge impacts on the whole world as AI gets better.

On top of that, we're expecting diary entries, texts and emails to be read aloud in court. But there are practical implications too. Should Musk win the case, it will have a huge effect on OpenAI. However, Rose Chan-Loy from the School of Law at the University of California doesn't think that will be easy.

Now we're expecting both Musk and Altman to testify in court. And given the personalities, I think one thing we can be certain of is that it's going to be dramatic. I'll leave you with an ex-post from Elon Musk back in January. He said, Can't wait to start the trial. The discovery and testimony will blow your mind. Will Chalk reporting.

Nedra Tali-Ross, viimeinen elinkeinovaltuutettu Rennettin amerikkalaisen pop-ryhmän, on syntynyt 80-vuotiaana. Ryhmä oli tunnettu hitsejänsä, kuten myös heidän markkinoiden vihaisuutensa, ja he soittivat yhdessä muiden elinkeinovaltuutensa, kuten The Beatles, ja yhdessä heillä oli Rolling Stones. Lucia O'Brien, musiikkijärjestö ja kirjailija, on puhunut Rebekka Kesbystä.

He were absolutely huge, and it's partly because they were, along with the Supremes, they were seen as the pioneering girl group, really pioneering this new sound, quite garage pop, released on a small independent label, kind of quite gritty, and Billy Joel called them the toughest artists.

They had the toughest sound of all the girl groups and the real classic songs like Be My Baby and Baby I Love You, which really exemplify that Phil Spector wall of sound. Yeah, they had quite complex harmonies as well, didn't they? I mean, they were really proficient musicians in their own right, but I guess it was quite difficult to be women in the music industry back then.
