- AI Decoded discusses the AI revolution which is demanding vast amounts of electricity and energy.
New data centres powering the next generation of artificial intelligence can use as much power as a small city.
Last year, the world’s biggest tech firms spent more than $400bn expanding this infrastructure and demand is still growing.
But there’s a problem. In the US, four in 10 data-centre projects planned for this year face serious delays and, increasingly, the public are raising concerns about living next door to these colossal digital factories.
Also on the show, we look at the rise of AI influencers who have taken over this year’s Coachella music festival.
And back from the dead? We discuss screen icon Val Kilmer who, with the power of AI, is now starring in a new movie with the consent of his family and estate.

- Instagram users will no longer be able to send ultra‑private direct messages, as the feature is switched off globally.
The removal of end‑to‑end encryption (E2EE) on messages amounts to a major U‑turn by parent company Meta, which previously championed the tech as the gold standard for user privacy.
E2EE is the most secure form of online messaging - allowing only the sender and recipient to view messages - but has long been opposed by campaigners who say it allows extreme content to be spread online without the authorities being able to intervene.
That means Meta's decision has been welcomed by groups including children's charities - but condemned by privacy advocates.

- The outbreak of hantavirus on a cruise ship carrying passengers from across the world is a situation that authorities say they are taking incredibly seriously.
Three passengers have died either on board or after travelling on the ship, which set sail from Argentina a month ago.
A huge operation is in place to trace people potentially exposed to the virus who have already taken flights home to numerous countries, including the UK, South Africa, the Netherlands, the US and Switzerland.
Health experts stress the risk to the general public is low.
The BBC's Health editor Hugh Pym, Martine Croxall and a panel of experts explain what we need to know about the illness.

And, why did the Church of Scientology send her a cease and desist letter?

- Russia's Victory Day parade - held every 9th May to mark the defeat of Nazi Germany - is traditionally used by the Kremlin as an opportunity to show off its military power. But this year, the celebrations will be drastically scaled back. For the first time in nearly two decades there will be no advanced military hardware on Red Square. And analysts say it is a sign that Vladimir Putin's war in Ukraine is not going to plan.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has warned foreign dignitaries not to attend the parade, leading to speculation that Kyiv may order drone strikes on Moscow. Ukraine has been intensifying its long-range strikes inside Russian territory in recent weeks.
Each side has declared a separate ceasefire ahead of this weekend - and accused the other of breaking it.

- US President Donald Trump said a ceasefire is still in place with Iran, despite a clash between Iran and US naval destroyers in the Strait of Hormuz for which both sides blamed the other.
The US said Iran launched missiles, drones and small boats against three of its warships, in what it called an "unprovoked attack". Trump said Iran "trifled with us today".
Iran's top military command, meanwhile, alleged the US had targeted an Iranian oil tanker and another vessel approaching the Strait of Hormuz and carried out "aerial attacks" on several coastal areas.
The flare-up comes a day after Iran's foreign ministry had said it was considering a US proposal to end the war.

- There has been an exchange of fire between Iran and US forces in the strait of Hormuz, involving three US destroyers deployed to the area. Iran accused the US of violating the ceasefire between the two countries.
Iran said US forces had attacked an Iranian oil tanker and it had responded, claiming that it had caused “significant damage” to US ships which it said had fled the strait of Hormuz.
The US military's Central Command said that Iranian forces launched "multiple missiles, drones and small boats" as three US ships passed through the area. It said no US “assets” had been hit and its forces had intercepted the attacks and responded with what it called “self-defence strikes”.
The US military said it was not seeking escalation but remained “positioned and ready to protect American forces."

Russian leader Vladimir Putin will oversee the event on the Red Square, but this year the 9 May parade is being scaled back. For the first time in nearly two decades there will be no military hardware on Red Square.
The threat of Ukrainian drones over Red Square has been used to justify the paring back of this year's parade.

- Ukraine is considered a global hub for surrogate pregnancy. Four years after the start of Russia's full-scale invasion, people from all over the world still pay thousands of dollars for Ukrainian women to have babies for them.
But Ukraine's parliament is now considering a bill that would introduce stricter oversight of the surrogacy industry and effectively ban access to foreigners, who make up 95% of the intended parents.
The BBC's global health reporter Sofia Bettiza has been speaking to surrogate mothers, and the families who hire them, about the ethical questions surrounding surrogacy, how the industry currently works, and the impact the proposed law could have.
She also tells us what happens when children born to a surrogate are left behind by their intended parents.
