6:03 am
spirit of the people here, and want to reassure everyone that progress is being made. 50 to reassure everyone that progress is being made. so much has been achieved in that period of time. it is going at a huge pace. we have made huge advances in terms of the investigation, but there is still a lot of work to do. 0fficers investigation, but there is still a lot of work to do. officers are working 20 47 around the clock to make sure we do that. the arrests keep coming. three more in the city overnight. location is being searched around manchester include a flat in this lock, rented by salman abedi several months ago, which may have been a bomb factory. another flat here in central manchester is where he is undisturbed to have put the bomb together in the hours before the attack. his 22 victims have now all been named, most recently 15—year—old megan hurley, from halewood in merseyside. the principal at her school described
6:04 am
her death as a huge loss to them all. last night pink balloons were released in memory of all who lost their lives, and while the threat level remains critical, the message was, at go out and enjoy the weekend, but remain vigilant. 0ur reporter catriona renton is in st ann's square in manchester this morning. good morning. we are still seeing the tributes coming in and people making sure that their thoughts and their sympathies are with the victims of monday's bombing? u nfortu nately, we victims of monday's bombing? unfortunately, we have lost communications with catriona renton. we will speak to her later in the programme. and we will keep you up—to—date with what has been happening since that bombing and how people like the emergency services have been dealing with those two are still injured. —— who are still injured. and just after 7:00 we'll be speaking to two doctors
6:05 am
who were working at manchester's main trauma centre on the night of the attack. leaders of the world's leading industrial nations, the g7, have failed to reach agreement on climate change at a summit in italy. members had hoped donald trump would join the rest of the world in combating climate change but differences remain between the us president and other countries. the bbc‘s james landale has more. music. at this summit in an ancient town on the coast of sicily there has been some harmony between the g7 leaders, above all on the need to do more to tackle global terrorism. but there have also been some dramatic and discordant notes on trade and climate change. donald trump has voiced his anger at the impact he believes free trade is having on us car markets. he has also expressed doubts about global warming, and
6:06 am
threatened to pull the us out of a deal agreed in paris in 2015 to limit carbon emissions. g7 leaders are using this summit to try to stay the president's hand, and they are not alone. in an interview with the bbc, the secretary general of the united nations said the united states had to stay engaged in paris climate accord. if one country pulls out, it is one more reason for all the other countries to come together to stay the course and to make sure that the paris agreement moves forward. mr trump's advisers say that his views on the paris deal are involved in, but so far no agreement has been reached. —— evolving. the italian prime minister said the issue was still hanging. this summit has been literally overshadowed by the ancient volcano of mountbatten. but for many of the world leaders here, this is theirfirst but for many of the world leaders here, this is their first time on the world stage, and inevitably the focus was on one in particular. donald trump. the overriding aim of
6:07 am
the summit is to keep the president on side, convincing him that it is worth his while to be a member of this small club of large nations. so they may push him on climate change, but not that hard. a couple, believed to be in their 80s, have been murdered in county armagh. a relative found their bodies at their home in portadown yesterday afternoon. they are reported to have been stabbed. a ao—year—old man has been arrested. president trump's son—in—law and close advisorjared kushner discussed opening a secret communications channel with the kremlin, according to us media reports. he made the proposal in a meeting in december, the new york times and washington post said. mr kushner is thought to be under investigation by the fbi over alleged russian meddling in the us election. proposals to try to reduce the number of children diagnosed with autism are being considered by the nhs in south—west london. the local clinical commissioning groups say nothing has been decided yet but the national autistic
6:08 am
society has written to them to say it's "deeply concerned" about the plans. 0ur health correspondent jane dreaper reports. children with autism struggle to interact with the world around them. they are often diagnosed between the ages of six and nine. services in when completed, the european extremely large telescope, or elt, will be five times larger than the biggest instruments in use today and its backers say it has the potential to transform our understanding of the universe. we can now go back to our reporter catriona renton, who is in the town square in manchester. tributes have in paid all week by people wanting to show their solidarity and sympathy for the victims of the
6:09 am
attacks, many of whom are still in hospital. i was passing by yesterday, and the atmosphere is quite remarkable, isn't it? it is quite remarkable, isn't it? it is quite remarkable. you can see them this morning, people are already starting to stop and look at the tributes. this is a city trying to come to terms with the awful events of monday night, but also defiant at the same time. there are so many big events that have been planned for this weekend. lots of training has gone into it. police have been saying rights and facade that they would try to make sure that these events could go ahead. —— saying right from the start. the great city games got way under way yesterday, starting with a minute of silence before the games got under way in the city centre. another marvellous event, of course, 35,000 people are registered for the great manchester run on sunday. people are desperate to make sure that these events go well. people are standing united together to make sure that these
6:10 am
events a re together to make sure that these events are memorable, and in many ways held in tube utes to the victims of monday's attack. —— held in tribute. there is a big pop concert tonight at old trafford as well. as you can see, some of the tributes here, the closest ones to me say "manchester, we will stand together". that is the message. the police have told people they want them to go out and enjoy themselves as planned this weekend. of course there is going to be extra security. even in the time we have been here this morning we have seen an increased presence of armed police, but that is deliberate, to make sure that people feel safe. they do expect extra security checks, of course, to make sure that these events course, to make sure that these eve nts ca n course, to make sure that these events can go ahead and do go ahead. so that it will get the chance to enjoy themselves, while still remembering that the soft monday night's tragedy. —— remembering the victims of monday night was mac tragedy. later on, we will be used
6:11 am
eking to the charlatans, huat racking up the concertinas at that concert at old trafford tonight. much has been said this week about what can be done to stop home—grown terrorists. well, ahmed patel, whose brother—in—law orchestrated the 7/7 bomb attacks in london, has told this programme that too many in the muslim community are quick to offer "soft justification" to terrorist acts by pointing to conflict overseas. he believes the community should focus more attention on relations here, instead of events in the middle east. jayne mccubbin went to see him at home in yorkshire. when did you hear, and when did you hear that your relative was the ringleader? when they came to my house with our family, and my brother said, that thing in london, sadiq did it. maha that sadiq khan
6:12 am
was one of the terrorists responsible for the chewed bombing in london. the first response is denial. you cannot believe that this individual you have sat with is capable of that. and then obviously after that, complete and total angen after that, complete and total anger, absolute anger. were there people who said there must have been signs, the family must have known? yeah. but ahmed, cedric kahn's brother—in—law, say that they only knew he was angry, not that he was a killer. —— sadiq khan. knew he was angry, not that he was a killer. -- sadiq khan. what annoys me is, discussing politics, why don't you discuss foreign affairs and issues? why do you just have to be sufi muslims, happy crappy muslims focusing on prayers? after the attack, did anybody around you ever say, while not condoning it,
6:13 am
say that they understand? there is a lwa ys say that they understand? there is always soft justification. say that they understand? there is always softjustification. that was only 52, what about the 10 million ina only 52, what about the 10 million in a rock or whatever? that kind of language that has been going, i find that problematic. yesterday jeremy corbyn said we are less safe here because of war is far away. but ahmed patel believes the muslim community should focus not on crises far away but relations closer to home. our elders in the community, we need to say to a youth, listen, it is very sad what is happening over there, but you focus on your education and living a good life in britain. simple. to be eight doug wilson, to be a good citizen, to reach out your neighbourhood, to any charity, whoever they are, and stop the focus on the middle east. you have done this interview anonymously. because you are worried about a backlash on your family. the climate, obviously, at the moment,
6:14 am
the anger... and it isjustified angen the anger... and it isjustified anger. look i will say it is justified anger. people have been hurt and murdered. there is the place for it. —— there is no place. it is about bridge building. when you saw that bridge building going on in manchester in the last few days, did it give you hope?m on in manchester in the last few days, did it give you hope? it is great, it is hopeful, but my concern from past experiences is when the cameras go away. then what happens? we don't need cameras, we don't need tragedies like this to bring us together. we should be together anyway. but that, he says, will take more connections, more conversations, more integration. he believes the muslim community need to step up and notjust condemn these acts but then reach out. later in the programme we'll be speaking to nazir afzal, a former chief prosecutor for the north—west about whether the government's anti—extremism strategies are working. that's at 08:40. you're watching
6:15 am
breakfast from bbc news. many people are very keen to find out if the weather will go their way this bank holiday weekend. it is changing. a sticky night for many of us, wasn't it? yes. quite humid. we have been sent a lot of weather watcher pictures of the storms, you may be woken up by the storms early in the morning. this one was taken in wilts and the storms are coming about partly due to a combination of heat and humidity. that is how we begin the bank holiday weekend. there will be warm sunshine around as well but every chance of more thunderstorms and heavy rain. this is the band of rain we have at the moment. there are thunderstorms in that moving northwards across wales must weaving its way through the midlands up towards northern england and the storms fading away. but then another dose of storms start in north wales
6:16 am
in northern england through the afternoon and all the while it was just turning weather in northern ireland. heat will be on in scotland where we have 29 degrees. 30 degrees possible today. rain does not reach the north—east until, well, it may not reach at all. western scotland hanging onto some storms into the afternoon, turning weather in southern scotland as we head into the evening because all of these storms we see developing and northern england and heavy rain will move northwards. caught in northern ireland with rain. cooler and the cloud for wales and plenty of sunshine. and if in england. quite warm as well. storms is even across the north of england and south and central scotland for they will fade away. rain in scotland perhaps. but around overnight, perhaps quite won maybe not as warm with temperatures of 12 or 13 degrees. many of us will begin quite cloudy tomorrow. we will hang onto a lot of cloud across scotla nd hang onto a lot of cloud across scotland and that which will be significantly lower than today. northern ireland play eight as well.
6:17 am
we could see another dose of thundery showers turning up from the south—west and moving northwards later on in the day. both showers are hitand later on in the day. both showers are hit and miss but they will be heavy and sundry as they continue to push their way north during the evening. 0n push their way north during the evening. on monday heading up towards the northern half of the uk. behind that rain and thunderstorms we will see things calmed down a bit in the south with some sunshine around as well. by then, any heat and humidity just about around as well. by then, any heat and humidityjust about cleared out of the way. looking at top temperatures of 22 or 23 celsius. thank you very much darren. we will have more of the weather later in the programme. 80 minutes past six now it is time for the film review. -- 18 now it is time for the film review. —— 18 minutes past six. hello and welcome to the film review on bbc news. to take us through this week's cinema releases is mark kermode. so mark, what do we have this week?
6:18 am
as i'm sure you must have noticed, there is a new pirates of the caribbean movie coming into cinemas. why? laughter. baywatch goes from small screen to big screen. and the other side of hope. let's kick off with the pirates of the caribbean, they are billing it as jack searching for the trident of poseidon. every single one of these films, this is the fifth, has a search quest. this time it's for the trident of poseidon. the last time we were with pirates of the caribbean, it was one that everyone felt was like an afterthought. the reason we are back is because these movies make a huge amount of money. we have some of the old cast, some new faces. but generally the same old story. yes, there is a curse, a quest, some goings—on.
6:19 am
here is a clip. i need to speak with you. hand me your sword. i don't have a sword. what kind of soldier has no weapon? i'm currently wanted for treason. so not the very good kind, then. i'm looking for a pirate. captainjack sparrow? well, today is your lucky day. because ijust happen to be captain jack sparrow. no, it can't be. i've spent years searching for this? the great jack sparrow is not some drunk in a cell. do you even have a ship? a crew? pants? a great pirate does not require such intricacies. do you know how long i've been waiting for this moment? the audiences love it, so give them more and more?
6:20 am
have you seen the other pirates movies? i think i saw the first one, a long time ago. thought it was all right, but i didn't need more. do you think this gag is so fabulous it's going to take five movies? firstly, i was never a fan of the first one, the second and third i found increasingly annoying, and the fourth just felt like a postscript. you havejohnny depp doing that same performance that has been getting more and more broad during the various movies. when he first started doing it, everyone said he was like keith richards from the rolling stones. it has become more and more like a pantomime. his accent seems to have gone to the other side of the world. he sounded positively australian in some moments. you also get the classic thing of, we need to relaunch the franchise, let's have intertwining plots, and all the way through you're thinking, just give me a narrative that actually makes some sense. the weird thing about the pirates movies is they feel quite so mechanical and soulless.
6:21 am
understandably, they come from a ride originally, they are an attempt to take that and put it on the screen. there is a real feeling that i suspect even people who are real fans of the pirates of the caribbean series will feel they have seen this before and done better. i've never been a fan of them, but i think even fans will start to think, for heaven's sake, do we have to do this all over again? actually, it is one of those movies in which you can almost see the accountants totting up the sums. putting this thing together. it's like an abacus. there is no new wit or invention. a lot of the script sounds like offcuts from carry on movies. you can take lines from this and carry on columbus and they are the same scriptwriting pattern. it's not the worst of the movies, it's not the best of the pirates of the caribbean movies — boringly in the middle, with emphasis on the boring.
6:22 am
we get that! something else we have seen before is baywatch, a long—running sort of kitsch classic tv series, what, 25 years ago? long enough ago that when it was on i didn't have a television. it's a sort of post—modern reboot in the manner of 21 jump street. zac efron is a disgraced 0lympian, a celebrity to bring attention to them. his character doesn't believe in teamwork. you know that over the course of the movie, they will find some sort of affectionate bond, and this will be driven by a long and rather creaky crime plot, because it's a feature film, therefore it has to have a crime plot. it's not particularly good, but not particularly bad either. i counted five times during this movie that i laughed, five times more than i thought i would. it's nothing like as consistently funny as 21 jump street, but zac efron and dwayne "the rock" johnson are quite funny. there is a slightly sharp
6:23 am
thing about the fact there is a lot of camera ogling, but it's zac efron who is being ogled. it is a two—hour movie that is at least one hour and five minutes too long. if it was a 55—minute tv special, they might have got away with it. i have seen worse. i did at least laugh a few times, which is more than i can say about pirates of the caribbean. when you describe it as post—modern, i'm sure the makers of the film will be flattered. i'm sure that that was how it was pitched in the first place. it's a post—modern redo. now, the other side of hope. this is a sort of comedy about europe's refugee crisis. it's aki kaurismaki, an interesting writer—director. if you are familiar with him, you will know his kind of deadpan comedy. it's essentially a story about a young man from syria who arrives in finland, processed by the authorities, bullied on the street by thugs,
6:24 am
but embraced by the displaced community who try to show him the ropes. here is a clip. you get a sense of that kind of bittersweet comedy. what i like about this is that on the one hand it is very sensitive and humane, and it feels real. it feels like a story about a character you can believe in. it also has that aki kaurismaki off—kilter sense of the world. it's laugh out loud funny in some places, when you don't expect it to be. the central character then meets up with a finnish businessmen who decides he will buy a failing restaurant, which he attempts to make work by doing various things. at one point he decides to make it a sushi restaurant, and he doesn't have sushi so they make salted herring instead. there are these absurd moments, but it's a story about dispossessed people and the way in which strange friendships can be forged. it has beautiful use of music.
6:25 am
at one point you get buskers in the street and the blues band in a bar who seem to offer a kind of greek chorus commentary. there's a lovely moment in a migrant reception centre where somebody starts playing a tune which takes a runaway to lost, distant lands. it's beautifully put together, visually crisp and clear in that kind of hyper real style. it's very, very difficult to get that balance between tragedy and comedy, between smiles and tears. but it genuinely manages to do both those things. the funny moments are funny, and the tragic moments are profoundly moving. it's very humane and touching. i think anybody could get on with it. it's a really, really good film. what is best out at the moment? i will say this for the last week, it won't be in cinemas for too much longer. it's the levelling. i want people to see it on the big screen if they can. it's a story about a young woman who goes back to a family farm where
6:26 am
she has unresolved family issues. fantastic performances, beautifully shot, wonderful soundscape, wonderful sound design. you need to see it on the big screen because so much of what's going on is going on in the sound, the sound of the wind, the rain, the farm itself. and you do lose that off the big screen. i think the director is a major talent, she was described as a rising star of tomorrow ten years ago by screen international. it's taken her that long to make this feature film. it's a great piece of work, the levelling. and best dvd? jackie. when i reviewed this the first time round, it took me two viewings to get to grips with it. one of the things i love about it is the score, which is brilliant. a lot of attention on the central performance. which when i first saw it, i thought it felt strangely stilted, maybe a bit over—theatrical.
6:27 am
second time round, i realised it's a film about a woman in a position whereby she has to perform certain roles. and that awkwardness is very deliberate. the theatricality is on purpose. it's a multilayered film. it's not immediately accessible, but it really does, the more you watch it the more you find in it. which is another reason why if you saw it in the cinema and weren't crazy about it, it's worth watching again at home. it stands up on the small screen. 0k, mark. thank you so much. you can find all of our previous programmes on the iplayer. and also more online. that's all from us, thank you for watching, goodbye. hello, this is breakfast with charlie stayt and naga munchetty. coming up before 7:00, darren will be here with the weather. but first at 6:30, a summary of this morning's main news.

6:29 am
president and other countries. a couple believe to be in the 80s have been murdered in county armagh. a relative found their bodies at their home in portadown yesterday afternoon. they are reported to have been stabbed. a ao—year—old man has been stabbed. a ao—year—old man has been arrested. president trump's son—in—law and close adviserjared kushner discuss opening a cyclic mutations channel with the kremlin according to us media reports. —— secret communications channel. he made the proposal in december, the washington post says. he is thought to be under investigation by the fbi over alleged russian meddling in the us election. the national autistic society says it is deeply concerned by proposals by nhs bosses in south—west london to reduce the number of children diagnosed with autism. health commissioners want to focus on the most severe cases. they say it will relieve pressure on their teens. a record amount of solar power was generated in the uk on friday thanks to be clear and sunny weather. the national grid said that 8.7 gigawatts was produced
6:30 am
by solar panels at their peak. that is the equivalent of nearly a quarter of the country's electricity supply. a spokesperson for the network said it represented a new era for british power generation. british wing suit pilot fraser callsign is expected to make the second of his two jumps today as he attem pts second of his two jumps today as he atte m pts to second of his two jumps today as he attempts to break four world records. all of this depends on whether conditions and airspace clea ra nce, whether conditions and airspace clearance, but what fraser depends —— intends to do isjump from more than 40,000 feet in ontario. the jump than 40,000 feet in ontario. the jump is higher than cruising altitude of a commercial aeroplane and what he is attempting to do is beat the record for the highest speed flown in a wing suit. the current record is, my goodness, 234 mph. he is doing all of this to raise money for an army charity. that is extraordinary. he is plummeting towards the earth at more than 200 miles an hour. those are the main stories this morning. we are going to turn our focus on to a number of the sporting occasions happening today. mike is at wembley
6:31 am
this morning. good morning, mike. yes, good morning! i'm deep in the depths of the building here. this is right inside the players‘ tunnel, with the arsenal players on that side and the chelsea players on the side. they will be gathering at around 515 pm. before the famous moments when they walk out into the stadium, up the tunnel, with 90,000 people watching, and millions more on tv around the world. of course, for arsene wenger, this is routine. he has won the fa cup six times in his reign. he will take his normal seat over their as manager of arsenal. for once, they will be underdogs against chelsea, premier league champions, managed byjose konta. he will sit here, of course, until the game is under way when i am sure he will get involved and come out into the technical area. we know that conte likes to get really animated with his arm gestures. sometimes your most kicks the ball
6:32 am
himself. —— he almost kicks. alongside him in the other technical area, the studious thinking man of football, arsene wenger. 0f area, the studious thinking man of football, arsene wenger. of course, he is not afraid to show his emotions either, but it has been a frustrating season to him. we do not yet know if it will be his last game in charge. all of this happens against this emotional backdrop, the horrors in manchester on monday. as a result, at all the sporting events around the country, they will be thousands and thousands more armed police officers on duty. around here, for instance, on the concourse around wembley, there will be armed officers patrolling and armed vehicles on the roads leading up to the stadium. we will have more on that a bit later, and all the events, all the players and fans will be paying respects to the victims of monday‘s attack. as for the game itself, it has been a real contrast for the two teams in the two managers. in his first season antonia conte won the legal chelsea, and they are going for the double today. arsenal, however, have
6:33 am
struggled. they finished fifth in the table. there is speculation about whether this could be arsene wenger‘s last game in charge, for the first time in 20 years they finished outside the champions league places. arsene wenger himself says today is not about him. i don‘t care about me, i care about us i don‘t care about me, i care about us winning the game on saturday. when you go in the game you can accept that in a cup final, you can accept that in a cup final, you can accept the challenge, you just want to win it. the last worry i have is my personal story in a game like that. you have to forget for this moment that we won the league, and concentrate on this target. because don't forget, this is a fantastic target, and we don't know if in the future, uh, we will have another possibility to win this trophy. just
6:34 am
a footnote, a win for arsene wenger today would make the frenchman the most successful manager in the tournament‘s history. there‘s a huge game at hampden too, where aberdeen take on celtic in the scottish cup final. celtic are unbeaten in every domestic match this season and are on for the treble having won the scottish premiership and beaten aberdeen in the league cup final. they have certainly exceeded what i thought they could achieve. myjob is to leave the team, to push, to demand. —— lead. the players have been able to cope with that. you would do well to see a season again like it, you know, to go through a season unbeaten. and winning both domestic cups. that is our plan, thatis domestic cups. that is our plan, that is ouraim, domestic cups. that is our plan, that is our aim, and we will do very best to do that. i think more celtic teams should
6:35 am
have won the treble of the past few years, but for whatever reasons they haven't. at the celtic team this year have been very sharp, very focused and very confident in their work. they do not give much encouragement to their opponents. we have got to try to find a way to put them down. for the rest of the sport i have the comfort of the red breakfast sofa here at wembley. moving on to a big weekend in rugby union. northampton saints staged a dramatic comeback last night to qualify for next season‘s european champions cup, beating start at rossouw. —— beating stade francais. harry mallinder‘s conversion ensured the win for the saints by 23—22. they had trailed 22—9 at half—time and had a man sent off before a late try followed by that kick gave them the win. a sell—out crowd of 82,000 people will pack into twickenham this afternoon for the showpiece event of rugby union‘s premiership season, the play—off final.
6:36 am
and it‘s being called potentially the best ever, featuring wasps versus exeter who finished first and second. ijust want i just want us to ijust want us to go in and enjoy it. it would be lovely for us to get our hands on the trophy, it would be nice if we are home and clear with 20 minutes ago, i can relax, but we know that won‘t be the case. for us, a premiership final was beyond our dreams a couple of seasons ago, but we are there. we want to go there and do ourselves justice, we are there. we want to go there and do ourselvesjustice, and if we play well this week and there is no reason we can‘t get our hands on some silverware. and we will hear from the exeter camp shortly. it is also the pro 12 final today in dublin with scallops of wales taking on the irish side monster. —— scarlets of wales taking on the irish side munster. scotland‘s scott jamieson has a one—shot lead going into day three of the pga championship
6:37 am
at wentworth, alongside belgium‘s thomas pieters. jamieson‘s round of 2—under—par 70 left him top of the leaderboard on 7—under. england‘s lee westwood is also in contention two shots back after around of 69. now, manchester city centre held its first major sporting event since the terrorist attack on monday as the great city games took place. there was a minute‘s silence before the event started to remember the 22 people who lost their lives. in the pole vault, britain‘s holly bradshaw set a new national outdoor record of 4.8 metres. she later posted on social media, "what a day! manchester, that was for you!" also taking part was the london 2012 0lympic long jump champion greg rutherford. he won his event in front of a large crowd at albert square, with a season‘s best 8.18 metres in his finaljump. asi as i was mentioning earlier, at all the sporting events today they will be paying their respects to the victims of the manchester attack. at wembley, the duke of cambridge will
6:38 am
lay a wreath on the pitch, and there will be a minute of silence beforehand. the players will be wearing black arm bands. as for the cup, look at what is alongside me? it is the fa cup itself. this is the third edition. there was one made in 1911 which had to be replaced in 1992, and then replaced again in 2014. why? i'm told that 1992, and then replaced again in 2014. why? i‘m told that in celebrations it does get dropped quite a bit, and get some bumps and bruises. they keep the plinth the same, but the actual capacity replaced now and again. it is silver cast. inside it is actually goldplated, because they want to protect the silver from all the champagne poured in there. so whose name will be honoured? will it be arsenal‘s yet again? in the last 25 yea rs, arsenal‘s yet again? in the last 25 years, arsenal or chelsea have won the cup more than half of those times. so these two teams know what it is like to win here, even though for antonio conte it will be a new experience. you can follow it all on

the bbc. the buildup begins on football focus at 12 o‘clock, then there is a break for the football focus at 12 o‘clock, then there is a breakfor the news, but thenit there is a breakfor the news, but then it goes all the way to 5:30pm and the kick—off. then it goes all the way to 5:30pm and the kick-off. mike, i don't know if you know the answer now, but who has those two old cups? actually, i think they are in the wembley museum, or the wembley cabinets. because of course it was 2013, the last time it was replaced, when wigan won it. i will check it out, but i‘m pretty sure they are kept here at wembley. thank you, michael. we will see later. we are going to go right back to those who have achieved remarkable things. a few years ago now. amazing black and white footage of intrepid adventurers exploring some of the most remote parts of the world has been unearthed. at the time the films were made, in the early part of the 20th century, these places had never been seen by western eyes. the priceless archive, some of which has not been seen for nearly 100 years, is now being digitised and put online. 0ur science correspondent pallab ghosh was given an exclusive glimpse.
6:40 am
this is the first—ever view of the top of mount everest from there. —— the air. it was shot in 1933 by a group of brave young pilots. they risked their lives flying higher than anybody had ever flown before. the film is one of more than 100 released by the royal geographical society. among them is this film, of the very first attempt to climb mount everest in 1922. the climbers witness a death ritual before they set off. the cameraman was capped in john knoll. it was a nic newman sinclair camara... his john knoll. it was a nic newman sinclair camara. .. his daughter sandro recalls how they climbed by day and developed the film by night in freezing conditions. he had a purpose—built tent he had taken with him to base camp, and that night, using water from the glaziers —— glaciers, and yak dung as a source
6:41 am
of heat, he processed hundreds of rolls of film on the mountain. and this footage is helping scientists to see how climate change might have affected the himalayas. the historical imagery in the archives of the royal geographical society is a bounty, and a limited gift and a treasure. we can find the same positions and take a picture of the exact same place, and very clearly, and with extremely high resolution, we can take note of the difference. conservation specialists are painstakingly restoring 138 films of some of the uk‘s greatest explorations frame by frame. 0ne some of the uk‘s greatest explorations frame by frame. one of them is of a young army officer crossing the vast expires of the libyan desert by motorcar. —— expanse. rolf backlot and his friends drove thousands of miles for weeks on end into the blistering heat of the libyan desert. his son stephen has read stories of these incredible expeditions but it is the
6:42 am
first time he has seen them. that is my father driving there. he even wrote scientific papers about how sand moves. his research is helping space agencies to this day, to develop rovers that can drive across the surface of mars. seeing this film makes me feel very proud of him and in order of what he managed to do. we can all now relive these extraordinary adventures, stories from a bygone age when the world held so many mysteries. some of those pictures are absolutely extraordinary. the picture of the aircraft flying over everest, the biplane. incredible! if you want to see more of that footage, the documentary great explorations is on the bbc news channel at 4:30pm this afternoon, and again at 230 pm. on bank on a monday, then 8:30pm in the evening. —— bank holiday monday. you‘re watching breakfast from bbc news. please make three more arrests
6:43 am
overnight as investigations into the manchester attack step up. authorities across the uk are stepping up security to over the bank holiday weekend. armed police are deployed to a number of high—profile events. there were storms for some of us last night and it was very hot and very sticky for many as well. good morning. this is the latest picture that i have been sent by a weather watcher. these storms have developed from the near continent and drifting their way northwards. lynagh frame with a thunderstorms across wales not far away from the london area, heading into the home counties. the band of rain will wea ken counties. the band of rain will weaken as it runs northwards. the storms fade away at the secondary band develops in north wales heading into northern england and look at the raiment of developing. the
6:44 am
north—east of scotland it is another hot day. 30 degrees possible, again around the first. some really stormy wet weather ahead of warm conditions. cooler as the rain develops in northern ireland, cool and gladys gyle for wales as well. sunshine across southern england and the midlands towards the wash. temperatures could be as high as 28 degrees also so very warm. storms this evening for northern england and heavy rain pushing northwards into central southern scotland. that will fade away overnight in the rain becomes lighter and more patchy. we we re becomes lighter and more patchy. we were people of cloud. it will be a warm night, perhaps not quite as mugging or assume it is or uncomfortable. so many of us tomorrow we begin on a cloudy note. not much rain around first thing. we see sunshine develop across england and wales and then the threat of some more storms are coming up and wales and then the threat of some more storms are coming up with more warm airfrom some more storms are coming up with more warm air from the south—west later on in the day. these are a
6:45 am
little bit hit and miss. noticeably cooler, however, for scotland‘s and temperatures. forget about 30 degrees. here we will find some rain developing on bank holiday monday. those storms and showers pushed their way northwards across the northern half of the uk it turns dry in the south but not quite as warm. what we are finding over the course of the weekend is that it is not a com plete of the weekend is that it is not a complete write—off by any means. sta rt complete write—off by any means. start of humid with hot weather as well. that which is slowly ebbs away and we will have warm sunshine at times that the threat of some more thunderstorms. but now it‘s time for click. graffiti art has been one of the hottest art movements over
6:46 am
the last few decades. like many graffiti artists, graeme — or xenz, the name he goes by — cut his teeth on the streets. in this case, the streets of bristol. and he has since grown into the artist that we see on the roof of his east london studio. today, he‘s taking a break to do this for us. but he‘s more known these days for these amazing natural scenes which are exhibited and sold all over the world, and which incorporate all of the graffiti techniques that he‘s honed over the years. yeah, over time you really understand what the can is about to do. you know, you come to rely on these tools, like the nozzle or the weight of the can. like the way that i use the edge there to keep one edge sharp and one edge faded, then this, you know, different lines, adding colours. so there‘s a lot of disciplines that go through painting that are the same here, you know. years of practice...
6:47 am
no, we don‘t have that kind of patience. so could we pull off something similar to this by combining technology with someone who has no creative talent whatsoever? to find out, we sent nick kwek to estonia. tartu, estonia‘s second—largest city. like most cities, graffiti and street art provoke around every corner. if you know where to look. it‘s also home to one of the biggest spray—painted pieces i‘ve ever laid eyes on. but albert‘s been painted dot by dot, and i‘ve been promised i too can achieve artistic genius with the right tools. believe it or not, these pictures have all been painted
6:48 am
with spray paint. they‘ve been pieced together splodge by splodge by the sprayprinter device. my daughter wanted a unicorn on her wall, but i couldn‘t draw. so that pushed me towards creating this device. to make these magical masterpieces you need the right kit — a smartphone with the appropriate app installed, an external battery pack to keep it fullyjuiced, a tripod to hold it steady, some paint, and of course the sprayprinter. first you select an image and align it against the area you want to paint. so the image is projected like a giant virtual sticker. portraits with shadows work best. the phone‘s camera exposes for the led on the device, and when it illuminates, it sends the can‘s location to the app. the phone then tells the printer its coordinates and the printer decides when to spray and when not to. once you get the knack of it, it‘s actually surprisingly simple to use.
6:49 am
you just have to make sure you go from left to right, or right to left, very smoothly, in a straight line. for all its geeky brilliance, it‘s a real labour of love. even the most simple of designs takes several hours. depending on how complex the picture, and the size, the amount of layers, the different colours you want to paint with, you know, that determines how long doing one of these is going to take. you need to move your hand relatively steady, so if you start moving your hand very quickly you‘re losing accuracy. not sure i could really stand your for several hours doing this. with the next model, you should be able to move your hand relatively freely as you would with a regular paintbrush. to give your arm rest, the team have already started
6:50 am
developing robotic versions to do the spraying for them, meaning larger more complex images. i developed this extra accessory for the sprayprinter to atomise the process, because for high scale images the hand—held method takes too much time and effort. soon, others will be able tojoin in too, hopefully speeding things up a bit. but does the printer help artistic expression, or simply kill it? a person who can‘t draw at all, this gives like guidelines of how to paint. it‘s like sort of a colouring book, but you can go over the lines, but the paint will still only land in the right places. i think for people like myself, we call them artistically challenged... laughter and i think this device gives them new power. the finished result?
6:51 am
it started off only a few small dots. you actually have to stand back a few feet to get the full view, to get the right perspective on it. how good is that? yeah, and in true blue peter fashion, here‘s one i made earlier. yeah, all me. entirely done by me. all of it. well, that was nick kwek with the sprayprinter. graeme, worried? not really, no. i mean it‘s a great tool. it works like a projector. it helps us to get these large images up easier but no, i think i‘m quite comfortable in what i‘m doing right now. i might use it one day though. it definitely has its advantages, for sure, yeah. one of the brilliant things about working on click is that we all get to achieve our lifetime ambitions at one point or another, which is why this week mark cieslak became the captain of a starship!
6:52 am
he took some of the rest of the click family with him, to boldly go where no mark has gone before. space, the final frontier. these are the virtual voyages of the bbc click team. our mission: to wear vr headsets and discover strange, new technology, and boldly go where no tv reporter has gone before. virtual reality game star trek bridge crew brings together up to four players, each taking a different role on the bridge of a starship. the beauty of going where no one has gone before is that starship travel
6:53 am
involves an awful lot of sitting down. sitting down is great for virtual reality because the headsets have got these cables. if you‘re moving around it easy to get caught up with them. sitting avoids all of that. and where better to be sitting than the captain‘s chair of a federation starship? headsets on, it‘s time for the click team to become a starship crew. wow. it‘s really strange. that‘s brilliant. incredible. oh, my goodness, mark! hi. i‘m dabbing. all right, people? let‘s trek some stars. the early missions are all about orientating us was the bridge and how we interact with it. as helmsman, you are the ship‘s navigator. the headset shows us what the bridge looks like, but the playstation motion controllers allow us to interact with the various controls we have to master in order to fly the ship.
6:54 am
help. yes? walk course to gamma hydra. warp course to gamma hydra. engage. 0h, we‘re warping, everybody. 0h! wow. that‘s pretty, isn‘t it? that‘s good. wow. we don‘t have time for sight seeing, though, as we receive a distress signal from a stricken vessel. my vessel has lost all power and our life—support systems are nearly exhausted. here we go. scanning now. get on that scan. ok, so, engineering? yes. can you transport the survivors to here? i don‘t know. chuckles that wasn‘t in the training. laughter we're homing in at an alarming rate, captain. there are no options within transporter. it says right there in the list. transport, energise.
6:55 am
it‘s at this moment that the action takes a turn which will appeal to star trek super fans. 0k, guys, this is the kobayashi maru scenario. this is an impossible to win situation. 0h! it‘s a d51 cruiser. it‘s a klingon d5 cruiser? yes. 0k. target it. bring it about so we can actually see that the vessel. bring it in behind it. come on! west, west, west. turn it, turn it, turn it. find us. 0perating. there it is. 0k, bring in those torpedoes. line up the phasers, and torpedoes away. get us back behind it. target destroyed. 0h!
6:56 am
yeah, everybody, we just violated a peace treaty. wow. oh, wow. it‘s pretty warm work being in virtual reality. it feels like it‘s social vr at its best, really. communication‘s a must. if you don‘t have it you‘re not going to complete the mission. great for team building. i thought we actually had our lives on the line for a minute. that ably demonstrates the power of teamwork. it‘s really, really important that everybody plays their role on the bridge, because if you don‘t then chaos ensues. we had a couple of sticky moments there, but i think we managed to pull it back and keep it together as a crew. and the result was a successful mission. brilliant. that was mark and the crew. that‘s it for this week. follow us on twitter at bbc click. 0r like us on facebook, too, where you can see lots of extra content and videos. now, while you‘re watching this we are doing a live show at the hay literary festival in wales. and next week on the programme you can see a little bit of what we‘re getting up to.
6:57 am
can‘t wait. and if you‘re coming, i hope you enjoy the festival. and we will see you next week. hello. hello, this is breakfast, with charlie stayt and naga munchetty. three more arrests are made by detectives in manchester investigating monday‘s terror attack. this as police across the uk mount a major operation to protect the public over the bank holiday weekend. arrangements for 1300 events have been re—assessed. all 22 victims have now been named. most recently tributes have been paid to 15—year—old megan hurley from merseyside. ariana grande has announced she‘ll return to the city for a benefit gig telling her fans, "we won‘t let hate win."
