6:03 am
dick, surgery was a complete support of stop—and—search but said it needed to be done in a way that's targeted and intelligence led. you're seeing we are seizing more weapons through search and you'll see we are doing more stop—and—searchs with weapons, so the overall number has come down, the overall number has come down, the weapons searches are going up and the public should expect us to do that. the home office said stop—and—search is a vital policing tool and reforms are working, with the highest ever stop to arrest rate on record. andy moore, bbc news. in scotland the number of exclusions for assaults is the highest for five yea rs. latest for assaults is the highest for five years. latest figures show there we re years. latest figures show there were more than 300 incidents of a pupil using a weapon to assault another pupil or member of staff. the scottish government said it's working with schools to address the issue. the mother of the murdered black

6:05 am
com pletely ta kes over this panicjust comes over you, it completely takes over your body. what have i done? i ran out from my desk and i called my mom and i said, what do i do, i've made this payment, it's all my fault. she's not the only once. last year georgia was one of a700 wolli makers who reported fraud, losing an average of £1500 -- reported fraud, losing an average of £1500 —— holiday makers. fake flights are the most common trait with fraudsters targeting peak periods when travellers are trying to see friends and family. looking at these statistics from the report, at these statistics from the report, a big spike around september, that says to you people going home for christmas. that's our experience with people phoning saying just that, it can be extremely disappointing. losing a holiday hurt. more than a 10th of those who made complaints said the impact was so severe made complaints said the impact was so severe it had to receive medical treatment or were at risk of bankruptcy. their advice for holidaymakers is to thoroughly research websites before booking and
6:06 am
check their part of a recognised trading body. nina warhurst, bbc news. the canadian prime ministerjustin trudeau tweeted to say his thoughts are with everyone affected by this terrible tragedy. russia's foreign ministry has warned there will be a tough response to new us sanctions on businessmen, companies and government officials close to president putin. the white house has imposed sanctions on seven russian oligarchs and 17 senior government officials, accusing them of malign activity around the globe. 0ur correspondent chris buckler reports. the wealth of russian oligarchs does lie in business. 0leg deripaska became a millionaire from his dealings in aluminium but like many
6:07 am
of russia's super rich he's benefited from a relationship with the kremlin. he's one of a long list of individuals close to vladimir putin targeted by these us sanctions, actions intended to financially punish them and intended to send a message to moscow. in a statement, mr deripaska said: but the white house insists russia has been abusing its power internationally as well as meddling inside america. as the president has said, he wants to have a good relationship with russia, but that's going to depend on some of the actions by the russians. however, at the same time, the president is going to continue to be tough until we see that change take place. the sanctions are in response to claims that russia interfered in america's presidential election, and in retaliation for the way the country has used its simple ones in
6:08 am
syria and ukraine. but despite the tough actions, some observers believe donald trump has been relatively quiet, perhaps protecting his own relationship with the russian president. these sanctions were used by america to deliberately target vladimir putin's inner circle. after days of tit for tat expulsions and diplomatic disputes, the kremlin will once again be considering its response. chris buckler, bbc news, washington. the texas national guard has begun deploying a team of 250 troops to the us border of mexico. —— with mexico. arizona is going to deploy another 250. donald trump wants a000 military personnel on the border until his proposed wall is built. lawyers for the former president of brazil, luis inacio lula da silva, are said to be in talks with the authorities over the demand for him to surrender to police. the left—wing politician has defied

6:10 am
privileges that reward prisoners for good behaviour. the data can that gang affiliations and it can also spot those at risk of self harm. violence in prison is growing. there we re violence in prison is growing. there were 28,000 assaults in the lee year to last september, that's a proper sense. self harm is up 12% to nearly a3,000 incidents. the ministry of justice said it will do whatever it can to help hard—pressed governors. it's not collecting more data than before, just using it in clever ways, and the government says monitoring prisoners is vital to protecting them. the plan is to roll out the system across england and wales after talks with prison unions. tom symonds, bbc news. now, meet two best friends who share a love for hiking and the great outdoors. henry and baloo have become a big hit on social media as they travel with their owners across the beautiful landscapes of colorado. the pair, who are both rescue
6:11 am
pets, are inseparable. baloo the cat is best known for his unusual sleeping position, on top of henry's head. you wouldn't think that would be comfy, would you 7 you wouldn't think that would be comfy, would you? i don't know. he looks really at ease there. absolutely gorgeous. the whole cap versus dog thing is a bit of a myth. my versus dog thing is a bit of a myth. my parents have a cat and a dog that get on brilliantly, others of you might have similar pictures. send them in. feel free might have similar pictures. send them in. feelfree to might have similar pictures. send them in. feel free to share, might have similar pictures. send them in. feelfree to share, your own cat at thing. as soon as we ask for cat and dog pictures on this programme it goes wild so good luck to whoever is doing the social media this morning! shall we look at the papers this morning? the front page of the daily telegraph this morning. this is in reflection of the rising violent
6:12 am
crime rate in london and the incidence over recent weeks, and the telegraph this morning is reporting that burglary victims are being effectively put to one side because of the police having to deal with a number of these murder investigations. if we look at the guardian, we should have split these soi guardian, we should have split these so i didn't have to lean over you, in the guardian they are talking about the diplomatic row intensifying as x by rapidly improves. that picture from palestine, the death toll rises in gaza, striking picture on the front of the guardian. we mention stephen lawrence's mother has called for the investigation into her son's murder to be closed —— we mentioned. two people have been jailed to be closed —— we mentioned. two people have beenjailed in connection with the crime but she is saying on the 25th anniversary of his death, they are holding a commemorative concert, she wants the case to be closed. doreen lawrence
6:13 am
said it's time to move on. that picture is on the front of a couple of the papers this morning. this is richard osborn—brooks, he made the news a couple of days ago, he is the pensioner who stabbed a burglar to death and he's now been told he won't face any charges. quite a lot of response to that when we covered that a couple of days ago. richard there would face any charges. loads of sport around this weekend, we have the commonwealth games, mike is in australia, we will be back with him on the gold coast shortly and we have the masters overnight. there's quite a big football game happening this afternoon. sir alex ferguson called them the noisy neighbours, but manchester city fans could be deafening if they win tonight's derby against united. three points would clinch more than just bragging rights. it would also make them premier league champions. we spoke to fans of both teams to see how their nerves are holding up. not very happy. i'm certainly not
6:14 am
happy. to me there's only one united. they've had some setbacks this year but we'll come back, we'll get it... again. we always do! that's it's everything. for that to be the final game to clinch it, against united, it's just incredible. i'm a city supporter because my dad supported them so i just do it for my dad.|j because my dad supported them so i just do it for my dad. i just feel that they've deserved it for the way they've played all season, and it would mean the world to us as a city supporter. it's due to come back to the blue side of town. united, united's got it in the bag, we won it last time, we're going to win it again. no ifs or buts about it, united will win away to man city. not friendly about it, smiling about it there. everyone will be feeling more tense
6:15 am
at 5:30pm. full coverage on 5 live at 5:30pm. full coverage on 5 live at 5:30pm. full coverage on 5 live at 5:30pm of that game. earlier on people looked at the fixture list and they said wouldn't it be amazing if it decided the game? it would be the earliest a premier league title had been decided in a season in. quite something. what a way to do it. that's going to be later on and we will talk about it through the programme. if you're going to the match then let us know what you're doing for it. good morning. the weather story of two halves. some of us will get some rain. 0thers two halves. some of us will get some rain. others it will be warm. it was the warmest day of the year so far. some areas today will see temperatures similar to that. through the weekend, it will remain mild, often quite cloudy. that
6:16 am
should break up to give some spells of sunshine. equally, there will be some rain at times. you can see this rope of cloud stretching from the south to the north. really sitting across the british isles. the area of cloud is going to continue to wriggle around all weekend and from time to time it will bring pulses of rain north. 0ne time to time it will bring pulses of rain north. one area of heavy rain pushing into the south—west of england at the moment, the midlands as well. that will drift into northern england as the ghetto into the afternoon. a bit of rain into northern scotland that will fade away. a mixture of dry weather was a fairamount of rain. away. a mixture of dry weather was a fair amount of rain. here is how the afternoon is shaping up. for the northern half of scotland, it should stay fairly dry. some breaks in the cloud, 1a degrees the aberdeen. some hefty downpours into northern ireland. come further south, hefty downpours into northern ireland. come furthersouth, largely
6:17 am
dry weather through the afternoon where we get some brightness towards east anglia and the south—east for example. temperatures up to 17 degrees. the wet weather in northern england, southern scotland will continue to trundle slowly northwards, the heavy burst of rain. could be some mist and fog patches. it is not going to be a cold night by any stretch. remember that riddling weather front, by any stretch. remember that riddling weatherfront, it by any stretch. remember that riddling weather front, it will be wriggling close to our shores on sunday. likely to bring some rain once again to the south—eastern corner. here is how the day shapes up corner. here is how the day shapes up tomorrow. some outbreaks of rain into east anglia, a bit patchy rain elsewhere and a few hefty showers but actually for many tomorrow, not a bad looking day. largely dry, some spells of sunshine although there will be fairly areas —— large areas of cloud. still mild wherever you are. a quick look at the start of
6:18 am
the coming week and it remains pretty unsettled. some rain at times, particularly in the south. it does remain mild. temperatures, it feels like spring has sprung. yesterday i was like, it is finally warming upa yesterday i was like, it is finally warming up a little bit. it is time for the film review. with jane hill and james king. hello and welcome to the film review on bbc news. to take us through this week's cinema releases is james king. good to see you, james. what have you been watching? this week we journey into the dark recesses of martin freeman's mind in ghost stories. then we travel to 1920s new york in the family drama wonderstruck.
6:19 am
and, finally, we go tojennifer garner's sofa in the much talked about teen movie love, simon. we've already barely begun and i have a bone to pick with you. doctor kermode is away, so i thought i would have a respite about horror films and what have you brought me? it is a peach of a weekend for fans of horror stories. we will talk about ghost stories in a moment and there's this film we have not got time to talk about, called the quiet place, very scary. if you like your horror movies, this is a great weekend. let's focus on ghost stories, this is british horror written and directed by andy nyman and jeremy dyson. andy regularly works with darren brown, jeremy is part of the league of gentlemen team. andy stars in the film as a sceptic who believes there is a logical explanation for all supernatural goings—on,
6:20 am
but then he gets handed three cases and he just can't crack them, and they start to make you question his beliefs. one of them features the great paul whitehouse, as a night security guard. if you're afraid of the dark, you might want to look away now. here he is. listen, you've got two minutes to get out of this building before i come for you. if that is you... right. laughs. how are you feeling?
6:21 am
i saw the trailer about a week ago and even the trailer freaked me out. i thought i can't go and see this. but if you love this kind of thing, should i see it? it is clearly made by people who love these things and know the movies, nods to the hammer horror and they know their history of horror, they know how to twist the knife and make jump out of your seat and they have fun doing it. it's hokum, really, and theatrical, actually based on a stage play, fun, yes, but very scary. what i really liked about it is that it is obviously made on a limited budget, but the locations are just fantastic. fairly bleak and british from the look of what i've seen. they have this delicious drabness like a crumbling seaside town out of season. that really adds to the atmosphere as well. with those great performances,
6:22 am
martin freeman, i mentioned, alex lawther has a good role as a troubled teenager, and paul whitehouse. if you expect paul whitehouse to be funny in this, there are a couple of laughs, but ultimately, a very moving performance from him. he is very good at dramatic acting. fascinating, but you don't get the laughs! and a todd haynes feature. when we saw this on paper, one year ago, we would have thought it would be an awards contender, yet in april it is released with very little fanfare and did not feature in any awards. it could have been great and it doesn't quite achieve that. as you say, todd haynes directed it, brian selznick wrote it, he made hugo with martin scorsese. so good quality names. a couple of storylines going on — one is set in 1977 about a young deaf boy who runs to new york to find his father. and then there's a separate story, they ultimately cross over, but there's a separate story in 1927
6:23 am
new york about a young girl. she falls in love with the city and with the natural history museum. it is interesting that that element is shot in black and white, a bit like a silent movie, from the era, a nice artistic touch and quite good at that sense of wonder you have as a child when you go to the big city for the first time. you have that awestruck feeling. it captures that. i do think it is pretty clunky in terms of the way it tells its story, a lot of coincidence, too much willing suspension of disbelief of the audience, and too many unanswered questions, really. and one of those movies that could have been great, and 12 months ago, i was expecting this to be an academy award winner. now, i think it will be quickly forgotten. and love, simon — will that be quickly forgotten? i hope not. it is the teenage movie and stars nick robinson,
6:24 am
not the bbc political editor, although he would be great! this is a young american actor who was injurassic world. it's a high school movie, many familiar teenage movie traits, the sassy teachers and the wacky friends and the eccentric family, but the big twist is that he's coming out. so he's dealing with his sexuality and tell his friends and tell his family. here is a clip. i'm just like you. for the most part, my life is totally normal. my dad was the annoyingly handsome quarterback who married the hot valedictorian. and, no, they didn't peak in high school. i have a sister i actually like, not that i'd ever tell her that. last year, in 200 episodes, she decided you wanted to be a chef. and they're my friends. two of them i've known since the beginning of time,
6:25 am
or at least kindergarten. and one of them ijust met a few months ago, but i feel i've known him forever. we do everything friends do, we drink too much copy, eat ice cream, watch movies and hang out. so, like i said, i'm just like you. i have a totally perfectly normal life. except i have one huge as secret. and that kind of says it all because it looks like classic hollywood, nicely made, everyone's nice looking, they all have big houses and it looks like an easy watch. is this the first time a major film studio has made a film with a gay kid right at heart of it? absolutely, yeah, a big studio picture. it is desperately trying to be as mainstream and as "normal"
6:26 am
as possible. that is a bold thing. that's something i really liked about it. i would say, the downside is, it is occasionallyjust too normal! a little bit more edge would not have gone amiss. 0ccasionally, it's a little predictable. i love high school movies and teen movies, so you know the traits and they are all in there. and they feel, at this stage, a little overfamiliar. what gets it by is the charm. it is an incredibly charming movie. the lead character, the music is great as well, a guy called jack antonov who's a big writer—producer, works with taylor swift a lot. a lot going for it that papers over the cracks. it's a little predictable, it is a little too mainstream for me, but there is that charm and ultimately, like you said, we can't deny that this is breaking new ground. interesting, in america, some celebrities have started buying and screenings of this and giving away free tickets because there is this desire for it to be as seen
6:27 am
by as many people as possible, and being released here at easter to a mainstream teen audience, they are really going for it with this. and it has worked in the states, it is a big hit. a lot of positives. and best out this week, you've chosen wes anderson. isle of dogs. i went in with great hopes. visually, it was extraordinary, but i thought where it worked best was the interplay between the dogs and humans thing. that was great. that the story, ultimately, was a bit feeble, i thought. sometimes, his stories do get a little overcomplicated, and i would say it is similar with isle of dogs. i loved that stop—motion animation. it's very clever. it's set in japan, so there's this weird mix of japanese animation and the clangers. quite unusual to watch.
6:28 am
but i think it works, i love eccentricity and its humour, very deadpan, dark humour. clearly, if you don't like wes anderson movies, because it is more of the same, this won't win you over. he makes very arch films and this is definitely very arch. but i think, for me, because of that bond between humans and dogs that it's all about, it has more of a heart than some of his other films, which is why i really liked it. file under quirky. a quick thought about dvd? the lastjedi, episode viii of star wars, and it came out at christmas in the cinema, many people say it is the greatest one ever, i think it's too early to say that, but it is a very good star wars movie. for me, it gets going about halfway in, it takes time to hit its stride, but some very strong performances in this, i loved the antagonist, and sadly, the last performance from carrie fisher as princess leia. to end on a positive note, look at the bloopers and the out—takes on the disc,
6:29 am
because it is sad to watch her in the movie, but she was full of humour and life and there are some great moments from her in those extras on the disc. james, thank you very much. and that's just about it for this week. plenty to reflect on. enjoy your cinema going this weekend. see you next week. bye— bye. hello, this is breakfast with rachel burden and steph mcgovern. good morning, here's a summary of today's main stories from bbc news: 300 extra police officers are being deployed in areas of london worst affected by recent increases in violent crime among young people. six people have been killed in the last week and more than 50 have died since the start of the air. it comes as the chair of the national police chiefs' council says officers are relu cta nt to chiefs' council says officers are reluctant to use their powers to stop—and—search suspects because of political correctness. meanwhile in

6:33 am
if they pull it off, they'll take the title with more games to spare than any other side in english top—flight history, as david 0rnstein reports. for so many years, manchester's footballing landscape was ruled by the red of united, but the rise of their neighbours has been an relating and now blue is the colour, city the dominant force. their local and national superiority poised to be confirmed with the premier league title. i'm so happy at what we have done so far. at home people can come, ican done so far. at home people can come, i can see full stadiums, support the guys because they deserve it. they deserve all the credit, they deserve... we defend the badge, the club as much as possible. it's here at the etihad stadium that city will hope to celebrate an historic achievement. never before has the premier league been one as early as the seventh of april, nor have the champions of england been crowned with as many as
6:34 am
six games despair. this side is something i've never seen anything like before, the football that's played is quite amazing and every player has got the confidence and the ability to play the way that pep guardiola wants them to play. this is properly the best manchester city side there's ever been. with their dazzling style of play, guardiola's men have drawn comparisons with some of the greatest teams from down the yea rs, of the greatest teams from down the years, beaten only once in the league, 16 points clear of second place united. to understand that, the number of points we have we would normally be in the fight for the title. and we are not because city has a very good number of points. it makes it very, very difficult to second to be fighting for the title, which we are not in
6:35 am
this moment. defeat by liverpool in midweek dented city's european aspirations but they'll have a second chance on tuesday, and will approach that game in the highest of spirits if they can clinch the title with victory over their archrivals. david 0rnstein, bbc news, manchester. the wales managerjayne ludlow said their goalless draw againt england in their women's world cup qualifier in southampton was probably the best result in their history. they're a side still in development, and it could have been even better for them had natasha harding's effort not been cleared of the line. wales still top the group but england can overtake them if they beat bosnia on tuesday. 0n the other side of the world from here and for you indeed at the halfway stage of the masters... —— masters. tiger woods made the cut but, not surprisingly, defending champion sergios garcia missed it and rory mcilroy is still in contention, as he chases the only

deployed in parts of london after six people were killed in the city over the past seven days. thousands of holidaymakers are being defrauded with booking scams on the increase. police lost almost... people lost almost £7 million on fa ke people lost almost £7 million on fake airline tickets and accommodation last year. also coming up accommodation last year. also coming up in the programme this morning: we'll find out why the changing climate is good news for the return of one of sir winston churchill's favourite butterflies. here's ben with a look at this morning's weather. it was lovely yesterday, will we see any more of that? yes, sort of, yesterday it was 17, the warmest day of the year so far. still some warmth to be had today but not quite that simple, some rain in the forecast as well but having
6:44 am
said that, promising start for our weather watcher out and about early in hull. we can sum up the weekend weather like this, it will be mild, feeling warm in places but often quite cloudy, limited sunny spells and equally some outbreaks of rain at times. this is the view from space, you can see this wriggling band of cloud which will plague us all weekend and long this band of cloud at times we will see outbreaks of rain running from south to the north. this is the recent radar picture, you can season rain pushing in across the south—west and wales, heavy bursts at the moment, showers in the south—east as well. still some rain in the north—west of scotla nd some rain in the north—west of scotland and these various areas of wet weather will continue to drift north through the day. the wettest of the weather this morning in the south—west, wales and then the midlands and northern england, still heavy bursts, some of that rain also into northern ireland this afternoon and to the north of that, the northern half of scotland, a decent afternoon, large areas of cloud but
6:45 am
some sunny breaks. pretty mild, 1a in southern scotland, heavy downpours into northern ireland and northern england and then to the south of that, things drying out through the afternoon. sums goals on sunday, the best of the brightness in east anglia for example lifting temperatures again to 17 degrees. —— sunny spells. wet weather in northern england, northern ireland and southern scotland will drift north, still the odd heavy bursts for a time but that rain should fizzle through the night. behind it, largely dry conditions with some clear spells, low cloud, largely dry conditions with some clearspells, low cloud, mist largely dry conditions with some clear spells, low cloud, mist and fog as well and not particularly cold by any stretch, minimum temperatures between five and eight degrees. we go into tomorrow, remember the band of cloud i showed you, the wriggling weather front, not too far away. looks likely to be bending back in to south—eastern areas tomorrow, that means sunday could bring outbreaks of rain to the south—east and east anglia.
6:46 am
elsewhere, a few hefty showers breaking out, particularly in northern ireland, northern and western parts of scotland, but once again there will be a fair amount of dry weather. large areas of cloud but some spells of sunshine and wherever you look, double—digit temperatures, another mild feeling day, 1a in edinburgh and 12 in london. a quick look at the start of the coming week, remaining pretty u nsettled the coming week, remaining pretty unsettled with some rain at times, especially in the south, and despite an easterly breeze it will remain mild. buta mixed an easterly breeze it will remain mild. but a mixed affair, an easterly breeze it will remain mild. buta mixed affair, warm weather but when weather as well. we will be prepared for all eventualities. thanks very much. i will take warm weather, that will do us! we'll be back with the headlines at 7am. first, it's time for click. welcome to bournemouth on the south coast of the united kingdom,
6:47 am
famous for sandy beaches, seaside amusements... and having the worst ag mobile reception in the uk. i hate it. it's not good in anywhere, really. it's very, very temperamental and really, it's really not good. well, there's some good news. 5g, the next generation of mobile network, is coming. but it's notjust about your phone. 5g promises to enable self—driving cars, smart cities and the whole internet of things as every machine starts talking to every other machine. this week, the first stage of bidding to become a 5g operator in the uk ended with ee, 3, 02 and vodafone splashing out more than £1.3 billion for the privilege.
6:48 am
now, to date, no standards have been agreed, but we do have a rough idea of what 5g should look like. so, let's get you 5g—ready. five things you need to know about 5g. 0ne — yes, 5g will be much, much faster than ag. hd movies can be downloaded in seconds rather than minutes with speeds 10 to 100 times faster than ag. two — unlike ag masts, which broadcast in all directions, 5g antennas will send concentrated beams directly to your device. three — 5g is all about superquick response times and that's crucial for things like self—driving cars, which will use the tech to communicate with each other at high speeds. four — it's a new wave. 5g will use a part of the radio frequency spectrum that's never been used before,
6:49 am
meaning it will broadcast on shorter millimetre waves. that means more data for all those devices. but there is a problem. these waves can't travel through buildings or even rain. five — the solution is new masts and lots of them, but the good news is that they only need be tiny. these mini—masts will need to be much closer together and they'll act like a relay team transmitting signals around buildings. 5g projects are still being trialled, and the kinks in the technology are still being worked out. but lara lewington has been to see what is claimed to be the world's first public 5g testbed. the trial taking place here in bristol's millennium square aims to give the public an idea of what 5g could make possible. this communal virtual reality experience shows streaming of high—bandwidth content on many devices all at once,
6:50 am
all on one network with no time lag or drop out. dancing in unison, we played a game involving chasing moving stars. these demos couldn't be in full 5g because current smart phones can't oblige, but every other element is there, with these 5g new radios throughout the area transmitting signal. the team here anticipate 5g to be a network of networks, combining the best elements of conductivity we have now with millimetre or extremely high frequency waves, plus the potential to tap into wi—fi networks and li—fi connections, particularly when we're on the move. we've talked a lot on this programme about the possibilities for smart homes, connected transport and of course, smart cities, and 5g could provide the catalyst for more of them to actually come into play.
6:51 am
this prototype aims to display one way that 5g could be used within a smart city. now, what you can see on top of this cycle helmet is a 360 camera, a raspberry pie, which is doing the work, and a battery pack right here. the idea is someone cycling throughout the city would be constantly picking up pictures and they would be fed through a 5g network, so if there was any problem, that could be found immediately and dealt with without delay. and if we can rely on that low latency, then its game changing. when it comes to robotic surgery, a split second could mean the difference between life and death. or it could be used to create realities that seem almost impossible, like anyone being able to shoot a goal like messi via a 5g connected robot leg, of course. using 5g ultra low latency technology, i'm able to transmit action and reaction. i'm able to transmit touch.
6:52 am
so, for the first time, we will be able to transmit engineering skills, musical skills, football skills, medical skills, and suddenly, we will build an internet, which will allow us to democratise labour the very same way as the internet has democratised knowledge and information. for most of us, though, we just want better connection, and the networks seem keen to manage our expectations beyond that. the average person on the street will see 5g as a way to give them a much better smartphone experience, it will give them faster data connections, lower latency. but it's important to remember that we're right at the start of the 5g journey and we need to look ahead over the next decade to understand what new applications beyond smart phones will start to appear as the technology matures and becomes more widespread. south korea, the us, the uae and china seem to be leading the way with commercial launches expected later this year. but in the meantime, smart phone manufacturers will be
6:53 am
working on bringing us the 5g compatible devices that we need for whenever the time comes. that was lara in bristol. well, here in bournemouth, ag is somewhat underwhelming to say the least. so we've been asking people what they think of the arrival of 5g. perhaps there are lots of exciting things that we don't know about, in which case i say bring it on, bring it to bournemouth first. it doesn't light any fires for me! i can see it being useful for me in about ten years when i catch up with the rest of society. i still think about...is it 36? 3g for me soon, and i'll be pleased with that. so, a bit of a mixed reception for 5g so far here. nevertheless, the local authority is aiming to make bournemouth one of the first places globally to deploy 5g and become the first smart city, technically smart town, in the uk. heading up the implementation of 5g is ruth spencer, who took me on a tour to show me some of the new cabling
6:54 am
and potential antenna sites that will underpin what will be a radical new infrastructure. ag to 5g is going to be a massive step change in infrastructure. so, for example, in ag, what you would have had before is big masts, quite long—distance parts... covering a large area. whereas with 5g, particularly in urban areas like this, you'll need lots of small cells very close together. that's a massive infrastructure challenge, isn't it, if you need lots and lots of masts to cover a city. i think what we're trying to do at the moment is understand how cost—effective that it is going to be to deploy at this kind of level. it sounds like a massive ask. is it realistic? it is a big undertaking. but the potential that 5g is going to unlock is going to be completely tra nsformative. now, the problem is the 5g signal is very fragile, easily blocked by trees
6:55 am
and buildings and that means that ruth's team has had to produce really detailed surveys of where the antennae need to be. whenever you put a new building up, it interferes with the 5g array of signals that you've got. so that's a problem. yes, yeah, it's a challenge that definitely needs to be looked at. so with the map and planning software that we've been developing, we need to start considering how do we update those tools and how do we update the maps that we're looking at in order to plan those networks. but it's the potential that may make the investment worth it, as 5g will be the backbone of all those futuristic technologies that we've been long promised. so 5g isn't necessarily about getting better signal on your phone or faster data speeds on your phone. it's about machine—to—machine communication. in machines, in advanced manufacturing, in robotics. so it becomes much more about the opportunity 5g will bring around productivity, as well as the ability to deliver services.
6:56 am
for 5g to work, serious investment and new infrastructure is needed, so could it be that some cities will be flush with transformative technology, while other places will be left behind? i get the sense we might be about to see the beginnings of a new digital divide where some areas have 5g and some areas don't. for example, rural areas where there's a small population, so itjust might not be worth it. but does that mean they miss out? whilst 5g is likely to be rolled out at a millimetre wave level in cities, there's still the opportunity for rural areas to really benefit from 5g in other areas, like farming, connected autonomous tractors, for example, and you would need some 5g infrastructure to support that, but you would need something different in a city. it's about understanding what's needed for users in which locations and what's needed for infrastructure in which locations. we're talking about
6:57 am
autonomous vehicles being able to take you anywhere. but if it turns out they need a 5g network, and you roll into a city which doesn't have a 5g network, what will that mean for your autonomous vehicle? would it not be able to operate in that city? so one of the areas that connected autonomous vehicles are looking at is where they will be deployed and what their use will be. so, for example, in the early stages, maybe you'd be looking at connected autonomous vehicles across motorways, for example, for covering long distances, with freight or that sort of thing, and then it will evolve. and that's it for the shortcut of click in bournemouth. don't forget, the full—length version is waiting for you right now on iplayer. and also, don't forget we live on facebook
6:58 am
and on twitter @bbcclick. i have to say, this place might be the worst in the country for ag, but it's one of the best places for fish and chips, so that's where we're going now. see ya. hello this is breakfast, with rachel burden and steph mcgovern. 300 extra officers are being deployed on the streets of london this weekend to tackle a rise in violent crime. more than 50 people have been killed since the start of the year — today there are calls for police to make more use of stop and search powers. good morning, it's saturday the 7th of april. also this morning: how holiday makers are losing out — new figures show booking scams cost over £65 million last year. russia warns of a "tough response" after the us imposes sanctions on oligarchs and government officials.
