Rachel Jupp is a bold choice for the BBC's director of news. She is a well-regarded high flier who has impressed in her roles at Panorama, Newsnight and Channel 4 News. She is currently the BBC's director of news documentaries and long form journalism. But she hasn't been in that role for long and hasn't spent years leading huge teams of people (BBC News' global newsroom has around 4,500 staff). A lack of that kind of experience might have been problematic in the past.

An artist has said he is taking legal advice after accusing the Conservative Party of copying his cartoon image of Andy Burnham at their party conference. People attending the party's conference in Birmingham have been handed water bottles featuring the image and labelled Bottler Burnham, 0% strength. Labour supporter Stanley Chow, who created the portrait for Burnham's 2021 mayoral campaign in Greater Manchester, has claimed the party did not ask for permission to use the image.

Deborah Turness announced last November that she would step down from the role following the fallout over how Panorama edited a speech by President Trump. Jupp is a former deputy editor of BBC Two's Newsnight and has also served as Panorama's editor, but left several years before the controversial Trump episode aired.

Plus: Trump has unveiled a "Super Intelligence Force" to oversee AI. People really hate AI, so why can't they get enough? Over the summer I talked to the CEO of Springboards, a startup building an LLM designed to come up with a wide variety of responses . He said something that's been stuck in my head since: "We often say that we're a self-loathing AI company. We don't know if we really like what we're doing." "I guess that makes me a self-loathing AI journalist."

Jewish Greens chair says she could leave party over'Zionism is racism' motion The chair of Jewish Greens Vivien Lichtenstein has told the BBC it is quite possible she will leave the party after Green members adopted a motion declaring Zionism a form of racism. The motion, which has divided senior party figures, also backs a single democratic Palestinian state in all of historic Palestine, which includes modern-day Israel. It has been criticised by some Jewish groups and Israel's foreign ministry. Asked by BBC Radio 4's Today programme about her future, Lichtenstein said: I haven't decided yet...It is quite possible that I will leave the party...I'm giving it a little time and to talk with colleagues. Lichtenstein, who is a former chair of her local party, said she had opposed the motion from the first time she heard about it.
