our main headlines. dramatic scenes at the california campus after police in los angeles moving to remove pro—palestinian protest camp.

dozens of students have been detained after hundreds of officers descended on the camp. violent protest is not protected. peaceful processes. it's against the law when violence occurs, destroying property is not a peaceful protest. it's against the law. figs property is not a peaceful protest. it's against the law.— it's against the law. as india prepares _ it's against the law. as india prepares to _ it's against the law. as india prepares to head _ it's against the law. as india prepares to head to - it's against the law. as india prepares to head to the - it's against the law. as india | prepares to head to the polls it's against the law. as india - prepares to head to the polls we look at how people are rejecting political rhetoric in favour of religious tolerance. and recreating a face from the past, meet the woman who lived 75,000 years ago. all of thatis who lived 75,000 years ago. all of that is coming up in a moment. let's catch up with the business news of the day. ben thompson is here. we are going to return to a story we talked a lot about, that disruption
4:33 pm
to global trade caused by the attacks on shipping in the red sea. today, the boss of the worlds biggest shipping company says that disruption could continue until at least the end of the air. but he also said that the higher prices it's causing could add to global inflation. the danish company made an operating profit of about $177 million in the first three months of this year, that is down quite a lot since this time last year when the company was doing pretty well because it could charge more for shipping. but it has raised its expectations for the air as a whole and says it will now report a loss of between zero and it much as $2 billion. not as bad as expected largely because of the longer route it is now sailing around africa, instead of the lion of the red sea, has pushed up how much it can charge. before emery —based 2d militants attacking ships about 12% of global trade went through the red sea. a huge amount of that is container shipping and that has
4:34 pm
fallen about 80% as shipping lines try to keep their ships and the crew safe. simon heaney is a senior manager of container research at a maritime consultancy and he told me just how important it is for ships to make it through the red sea. it is pivotal. approximately 30% of all container cargo would go through the and 30% of the container capacity would go through so it's a pivotal point. would go through so it's a pivotal oint. �* ., , _, , , point. and for this company, they sa it point. and for this company, they say it could _ point. and for this company, they say it could continue _ point. and for this company, they say it could continue until- point. and for this company, they say it could continue until the - point. and for this company, they j say it could continue until the end of year the but they will benefit from the higher prices. it feels a bit ironic that the boss is saying it could add to global inflation but the company itself will do pretty well out of it. if the company itself will do pretty well out of it.— the company itself will do pretty well out of it. if you actually look at the container _ well out of it. if you actually look at the container shipping - well out of it. if you actually look at the container shipping sector i well out of it. if you actually look i at the container shipping sector the results were not so good. they lost something like 161 million in their operating losses which is very
4:35 pm
underwhelming and will be bettered by many of its peers. yesterday one of its rivals posted a profit of 223 million for the same period. maersk is not no longer the best benchmark for the industry. but broadly speaking the impact of the red sea disruption is going to be felt by all carriers. increase in operating costs mainly from the higher fuel costs mainly from the higher fuel costs and from the longer voyages you mentioned but also from lessening the impact of the quite severe overcapacity that exists in the market. more ships are needed to maintain frequencies and those factors combined did see a surge in spot rates in the short—term market from january whereas previously spot rates had been on a steep declining path for about two years. it’s rates had been on a steep declining path for about two years.— path for about two years. it's an interesting _ path for about two years. it's an interesting timing _ path for about two years. it's an interesting timing coming - path for about two years. it's an interesting timing coming off. path for about two years. it's an | interesting timing coming off the back of covert when supply chains really were disrupted just as the

industry was getting back online properly. at the same time what we are expecting later this year is more ships and more containers to come online so that could impact how much firms can charge? yes. come online so that could impact how much firms can charge?— much firms can charge? yes. we are seeinr the much firms can charge? yes. we are seeing the market _ much firms can charge? yes. we are seeing the market normalise - much firms can charge? yes. we are| seeing the market normalise already. there was an initial panic that was caused by some sort of covert ptsd that cargo owners had. that has dissipated. short—term spot market rates have been on a dislike —— declining trend for three months. they did take up this week but essentially they have been coming back down. before the who the attacks on shipping the outlook for the industry was pretty grim for this year. it still is but it's not as bad as it was. there was a huge bull order book of new container ship that was built up with cash windfalls from the pandemic and they are now hitting the water. so we
4:37 pm
expect the drury fleet growth this year to be about 8% and that contrasts with two to 3% increase in global volume. contrasts with two to 3% increase in globalvolume. so contrasts with two to 3% increase in global volume. so a definite overreaction to start with but things are settling down now. find things are settling down now. and this is not happening in isolation because of droughts in some part of the world particularly the panama canal, and that well—documented problem with baltimore after the ship struck the bridge meaning larger ships cannot access that port. give us a sense of what all of that means for the global shipping industry? that means for the global shipping indust ? . , , , industry? certainly disruptive blacks one — industry? certainly disruptive blacks one type _ industry? certainly disruptive blacks one type of _ industry? certainly disruptive blacks one type of events - industry? certainly disruptive l blacks one type of events have industry? certainly disruptive - blacks one type of events have been impacting container shipping. they are making fora impacting container shipping. they are making for a more unpredictable market. but as coronavirus proved disruption can be very lucrative for shipping lines. but because they have such an excess of ship capacity they have proven they have a safety buffer to cope with such disruption
4:38 pm
so by and large after some sort of initial panic we then get the readjustment to supply chain networks and what we see is that actually when these events to occur the industry is able to cope pretty well and make sure that goods arrive in our shops. if well and make sure that goods arrive in our shops-— in our shops. if you have tried to find music— in our shops. if you have tried to find music by — in our shops. if you have tried to find music by big _ in our shops. if you have tried to find music by big names - in our shops. if you have tried to find music by big names like - in our shops. if you have tried to l find music by big names like adele or eltonjohn on tiktok recently you may have struggled. that is about to change because the record label universal music has agreed a major new deal with the social media firm. it will get more money for access to their teams. it will get more money for access to theirteams. let's it will get more money for access to their teams. let's talk to michelle flurry in new york. there was a point when all of that music was pulled off the social media platform but they have done a deal so do we not know anything about who gets paid what? not know anything about who gets aid what? . not know anything about who gets aid what? , ., , not know anything about who gets aid what? , .,, ,., ~ not know anything about who gets aid what? , .,, ,., ,, ., paid what? this was something like a hi . h-stakes paid what? this was something like a high-stakes poker _

you are live with bbc news. let's turn to india next where the general election is underway. under prime minister narendra modi's 10 year rule in india, he and his ruling party, the bjp have been accused of singling out india's minority communities, especially muslims. at a political rally last week, mr modi said the country's main opposition party would redistribute people's wealth and property to muslims, if elected. it has many of india's minority groups worried about their future. 0ur south asia correspondent, samira hussain is in kerala. the prime minister received quite a bit of backlash from opposition parties and from the muslim community saying those comments were the equivalent of hate speech. it gives you an idea of some of the divisive language that is being used here. but it's not everywhere as i found out on one particular st corner in kerala, that rhetoric is not being used. we corner in kerala, that rhetoric is not being used.— corner in kerala, that rhetoric is not being used. we were driving around the _ not being used. we were driving around the city _ not being used. we were driving around the city and _ not being used. we were driving around the city and we - not being used. we were driving around the city and we stopped | not being used. we were driving - around the city and we stopped when

4:48 pm
a 75,000—year—old neanderthal skull, made up of more than 100 fragments of bone, has been painstakingly put back together, and used to create a 3d reconstruction. the remains were discovered in a cave in the kurdistan region of iraq — which archeologists believe may have been a burial site. 0ur science editor, rebecca morelle, has more. revealed for the first time — a face from the ancient past, a female neanderthal who lived 75,000 years ago. she's been called shanidar z. her face was recreated from this skull unearthed six years ago. we can say that she's neanderthal from various features, so perhaps the most obvious one is this quite large brow ridge that runs across above the eyes, but also things like the shape of the nose. so the nose is quite wide at the top. a detailed analysis suggests she was probably around her mid—40s with particularly worn teeth.
4:49 pm
by the time the teeth are getting this worn down, chewing is not as effective as it would have been, so she's not able to eat in quite the same way. we've got some other indications of sort of poor dental health, some infections, some gum disease as well. probably by the time the skeleton and the teeth are this kind of worn, you're actually getting to the natural end of life. the skull was found like this — in profile and completely flattened into a two—centimetre thick layer. transforming the crushed skull into what you can see here has been astonishingly difficult. it's made from hundreds of fragments of incredibly fragile bone that have been painstakingly pieced together. it's like the ultimate 3d jigsaw puzzle. it's taken the best part of a year to complete. the skeleton was discovered in a cave in the kurdistan region of iraq. the excavation was followed by a documentary team. archaeologists have been
4:50 pm
unearthing neanderthal remains there since the 1950s. they found bones from at least ten individuals. they think it's a burial site where different groups of neanderthals brought their dead over many years. i think it means that they must have cared for each other. they were looking after other members of the group, and that care went on after they died. because they were carefully placed and probably covered. there's absolutely no doubt that they maintained a tradition over several hundred years of, "this is where you put grandma." since the first excavations, the cave has been transforming our understanding of neanderthals. the species disappeared about 40,000 years ago, while modern humans — that's us — thrived. but now there's evidence from the cave they used tools, built fires, and cooked together. you're getting into a world where you can see neanderthals sitting around, preparing food, heating them up, some kind of simple cooking going on, and presumably that beginning of socializing in ways.
