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 autonomous vehicles being able to take you anywhere. but if it turns out they need a 56 network, and you roll into a city which doesn't have a 56 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 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 ben thompson and rachel burden. dozens of people are reported to have been killed in a toxic gas attack in syria. reports and videos from volunteer rescue workers suggest that women and children were among those affected. the us state department have described the claims as "horrifying". good morning it's sunday the 8th of april.

also this morning... the home secretary amber rudd rejects claims that a spike in violent crime is due to falling police numbers. an attack in germany has left two people dead and around 20 injured. authorities say there's no indiation of any islamist links. good morning. in the sport from the gold coast, a first gold medalfor northern ireland. it came in the pommel horse and it was 18—year—old rhys mclennan for northern ireland. he isjust 18 rhys mclennan for northern ireland. he is just 18 and rhys mclennan for northern ireland. he isjust i8 and he beat the olympic champion for the title. making the journey from britain to bollywood — we'll meet the film star from south wales. and simon has the weather. it was a springlike day yesterday, temperatures got to 19 celsius in the south—east. not as one today, there is some rain, and i have all

there is some rain, and i have all the details and 15 minutes. good morning. first, our main story. dozens of people are reported to have been killed in what activists say was a chemical attack on the city of douma, a rebel—held area close to the syrian capital damascus. the us state department have described the reports as "horrifying". lebo diseko‘s report contains disturbing images from the start. the victims of an alleged chemical attack, according to volunteer rescue workers in douma. this footage, supplied to the reuters news agency, and not independently verified by the bbc, apparently shows medics desperately trying to help children and families. syria's government says the allegations are a fabrication, and staff from a medical relief organisation on the front line say they are worried about what could have been used. we have received many patients who suffered from symptoms compatible with the exposure to high concentration chlorine gas. also, their symptoms were deteriorating in a fashion

that is not compatible with pure chlorine gas exposure. and that is why our physicians are concerned about exposure to nerve gas in low concentration. what is not disputed is the ongoing bombardment of douma, the last remaining rebel stronghold on the outskirts of damascus. weeks of assaults from the air and the ground as the president's troops, backed by russia, try and reclaim control of the town, and that is perhaps why the us has been quick to blame both, it is civilians who suffer most is this conflict continues, more than seven years in and no end in sight. rising violence on britain's streets is not caused by falling police numbers according to the home secretary.

writing in the sunday telegraph, amber rudd said evidence did not back up claims that cuts to resources were the cause of increased crime. the government has outlined a new strategy to tackle serious violence, including a new task force, and tougher controls on the purchase of knives and corrosive substances in england and wales. andy moore reports. amber rudd said the spate of recent attacks in london reflected a wider pattern of violence in major cities across the uk. she said she'd be launching what she called a serious violence strategy tomorrow, and chair a task force that would bring together key representatives to tackle the problem. she also rejected claims there were not enough police officers on the streets. she said in the early 2000s, when serious violent crimes were at their highest, police numbers were also rising. the government has announced that a new offensive weapons bill will be introduced next week. further restrictions

will be placed on the sale of knives online, preventing them from being posted to residential addresses. while certain other weapons, like zombie knives and knuckledusters, will become illegal to possess in private. the planned legislation also includes a ban on the sale of corrosive substances to under 18s. carrying acid in a public place will be a criminal offence. this is a really essential piece of legislation for the policing and for public and communities. it will allow us to control the purchase by people under the age of 18 and it will allow us to have much more control as to who carries it in a public place and whether they have good reason to or not. labour said tough talking by the government was not enough. it needed to give the police the resources they needed to keep people safe. andy moore, bbc news. our political correspondent susana mendonca joins us from our london newsroom.

i wonder how significant this is. she's making it could there is no evidence, she says, that would claim that blogging prisoners are to blame. very much so she is sticking to that government line we have heard time and again from the former home secretary, now prime minister, who embarked on the reduction that we have seen in police numbers over the past decade or so. amber rudd sticking to that line. she has come under criticism from the mayor of london, talking about how they think that the reduction in police numbers has had an effect on the rise in knife and gun crime, certainly in london. she'd disagrees. now announcing new laws that will come in and do new task force. it is part ofa in and do new task force. it is part of a government strategy to try and show that they are doing something about this serious issue of knife and gun crime in london because they

have come under criticism for not doing enough. for now, thank you very much. susana mendonca there. it is all on the front of many of the newspapers today. we will look at those a little later. one man has died and four firefighters have been injured in a fire at trump tower in new york. the victim was a male resident of the building who was pronounced dead after being taken to hospital, according to fire officials. us president donald trump has a home and an office in the building, but is currently in washington. the british foreign secretary borisjohnson, has stepped up his criticism of russia in the wake of the poisoning of a former russian spy living in the uk. writing in the sunday times, mrjohnson accuses moscow of peddling what he called "an avalanche of lies and disinformation" about the attack. on saturday, russia's ambassador to london asked for a meeting with mrjohnson to discuss the poisoning, which moscow has denied carrying out.

german authorities say a man who drove a van into people outside a restaurant in the city of munster was a german citizen with no apparent links to terrorism. two people were killed and the driver shot himself dead at the scene. our europe correspondent bethany bell is in munster for us this morning. hello, bethany. the clear up continuing their round you, but do we have any better understanding of exactly what happened, who he was, what his motivation may have been? this man still hasn't been officially identified, police say they believe he was a 48 he rolls man, german man from the town of munster. they are trying to figure out what it was that drove him to drive across the square behind me and intoa drive across the square behind me and into a crowd of people sitting outside a restaurant here. they continued their investigation is overnight, much of the old part of

the town was cordoned off, people we re the town was cordoned off, people were evacuated, many had to spend the night in a theatre down the road. police are slowly allowing people who live here back into their apartments but they say the investigations are still continuing. they said there did not seem to be any links to any islamist connections, but germany's interior minister is due here in a few hours‘ time and we hope to hear more news then. meanwhile the city is trying to come to terms with what happened here and how this peaceful place could have been turned into this terrible scene. thank you very much. canadian prime ministerjustin trudeau says "an entire country is in shock and mourning" after 15 people have been killed in a road accident involving a canadianjunior ice hockey team. two other people are said to be in a critical condition. the humbodlt broncos had been on their way to a play—off match in the province of saskatchewan. tributes have been paid across the country. take the time to recognise our, all

of our young men and our coaching staff and everybody who has been involved in this tragedy. brazil‘s former president lula da silva has surrendered to police to begin serving a 12—year sentence for corruption. he has handed himself in after spending two nights at the metalworkers‘ union headquarters in sao paulo in defiance of an arrest warrant. lula was the frontrunner for october‘s presidential election, but his imprisonment leaves the race open. hungary will elect a new parliament today, with the prime minister viktor orban hoping to win a third consecutive term in office. in his campaign, he presented himself as the defender of europe and hungary from muslim migrants — but critics attack him as a racist and an authoritarian. peter kay has appeared

on stage for the first time since cancelling all future work projects, including his stand—up tour, for family reasons. the comedian greeted almost 3000 fans at blackpool opera house during the last of three charity screenings of his bbc comedy car share. he thanked them for coming to see the special finale of the sitcom, which was filmed before his announcement last december. it was really warmly received by the audience, according to our entertainment correspond. we have to wait until may and this is televised on the bbc. a long wait. let‘s have a look at the newspapers. sunday telegraph, amber rudd, the

home secretary saying the police have enough resources to tackle the rising crime. you know we have been talking about a wave of stabbings and attacks and murders in the capital and around the country. the home secretary says it is not because of a cut in police numbers. the ongoing recovery of the skripals, an suggestion the cia may be able to help. once they leave hospital, which is an extraordinary situation considering how extremely u nwell situation considering how extremely unwell they have been in recent weeks but it looks like they are gradually slowly making a recovery and both of them talking, able to help the police with their investigation possibly. there is also writing about the equal pay row at the bbc in the sunday times this morning. on the front of the sunday mirror, a picture that is a and exclusive, they say. a man killed in a burglary

and there is a lot of controversy about whether he should have been arrested for killing the burglar in his house. they show it captures the burglar on cctv as he was trying to check out another home that he could have been looking to burgle potentially. images from syria difficult to verify that we are getting in. pretty distressing. we are waiting the very fit in. medical groups on the very fit in. medical groups on the ground are monitoring exactly what is going on. thank you for joining us at this early hour in california, but can you tell us what you are hearing from york teams on the ground ? you are correct, we have the white

helmets documenting, 42 deaths of civilians, men, women and children, from the exposure to chemicals, as well as six additional cases who died in the hospital waiting for their treatment. unfortunately over their treatment. unfortunately over the last 36 hours there has been intense shelling on douma, including missiles, and people seek refuge in the basements and the attack that was reported around 8pm damascus timeous tonight —— time last night. that is where the casualties happened for the majority of it. how certain can we be that this was a chemical attack? because syria‘s

government they say the allegations ofa government they say the allegations of a chemical attack are a fabrication. let me start by saying we are the ones who are asking for international investigation, we are the ones asking agencies who are only five comet is outside of douma to go to the hospital. we would want to go to the hospital. we would want to have that. throughout syria, the only way to confirm those symptoms for us as physicians is medical presentation. in to itself —— in eastern ghouta in itself, with the attacks involving chlorine, those are the same doctors that have treated them and documented the attacks. also, there are many physicians in syria who are reviewing those cases and confirmed

the clinical presentation, make sure they are compatible with what we think is exposure to chlorine gas. why would douma be targeted in this way? we have seen over and over that the syrian force users chlorine gas to terrify civilians. the usual number of casualties from chlorine gas is really on the low side, usually see people gasping for breath, looking for oxygen, rowing will —— running around agitated. but be displaced, and we have seen this in the north and we have seen this in the north and areas around aleppo, chlorine gas is a terrifying weapon was up on top of that, i want to point out additional information at our doctors were concerned about, concerned about some symptoms of the patients who presented with symptoms come heritable to a low

concentration of nerve gas. —— compatible. more fact that come in the next few hours, but the bottom line is that we want this to be reviewed, we wanted to be investigated. we will be asking the agencies and whos and we need samples because babies can be preserved. we are hopeful that there will be an establishment of an investigation into this. we are grateful of your time. thank you very much. some awful pictures they‘re coming out. still waiting for verification, but none the less, clearly very distressing. we have edwina currie coming up with

the look at the papers. we will now look at the weather. it is no special occasion, is it? i always try, you know that. because 19.4 i always try, you know that. because 19.1; degrees in the south—east. that was very pleasant, the warmest day of 2018, almost as warm as october last year. but it was not like that everywhere. there was quite a lot of rain across the north of the uk. this morning, a mixture of fortunes. it has been a lovely start the day for some, this is from a weather watcher in cumbria, the sun coming above the horizon. there has been some and fog —— mist and fog. the mist and fog will clear away and in northern and western areas, we have got something a little bit settled, but down towards the south—east, look at this area of rain, this weather front which is look at this area of rain, this weatherfront which is bringing some quite heavy rain across east anglia and the south—east of england.

today, across the south—east, rain at times, but elsewhere there will be good spells of sunshine and in the sunshine it. feel quite pleasant. focusing on the rain first of all, quite heavy across the south—east, edging a bit further north—westwa rd into south—east, edging a bit further north—westward into the midlands, cloud increasing. elsewhere, lengthy spells of sunshine. showers developing this afternoon across scotland, northern ireland, through north—western areas of england. some shows on behalf of his side, a bit of thunder possibly, but pleasant in some sunshine. not as warm as yesterday across the south—east as temperatures more likely that 11 or 12 degrees. cloudy skies and this morning ‘s rain. overnight tonight, not a big change, continue with rain in the south—east. elsewhere, clearer skies, a bit of mist and fog to ta ke clearer skies, a bit of mist and fog to take is into the early hours. about nine celsius down towards the

south—east. new working week with more rain, affecting southern and eastern powers. that will gradually petered out as the day goes on. elsewhere, lengthy spells of sunshine, lengthy spells in scotland and northern ireland. sunshine with 11, 12 degrees. as we and northern ireland. sunshine with 11,12 degrees. as we go and northern ireland. sunshine with 11, 12 degrees. as we go through the rest of the week, low pressure in charge of the weather and you can see the weather front rotating around the area, like a washing machine, throwing in weatherfronts. we have an easterly wind and it will not come from siberia with the very cold conditions, it is coming from the south—east, so staying relatively mild as we go through the week, temperatures up into the double figures. but if you live on the eastern coast, it will feel on the eastern coast, it will feel on the call side, though temperatures generally in double figures. u nsettled generally in double figures. unsettled with cloud and showers and rain at times. i come to work to escape washing machine is! it never seems to bring the better

wow! smack i want to turn it the other way around. does it work like that? if you can find a washing machine going the other way! it is the kind of weather where you have to just get out otherwise you would never get out otherwise you would never get out. and we will get out into nature right now. we are going to talk about beautiful birds that were once extinct in england and wales. but last week, one pair of nesting ospreys that are left arrived back in cumbria after spending the winter in a warmer climate. the birds are making a comeback in some parts of the country. this is foulshaw moss, one of the few places in england and wales where you might catch a glimpse of a very rare pair of breeding birds. the ospreys are nesting safely in the distance in the first set of trees. you can‘t actually see them from here unless you have a telescope. we can show you some webcam footage. this is of the male arriving a couple of days ago, because these birds have spent the winter in west africa.

there are just 30 pairs of meeting ospreys in england and wales. six are in cumbria. they mate for life, and this pair have been coming back here for five years and have raised 11 chicks. both birds are in the nest at the moment, the male and the female. the male came in a little while ago, with a fish, and he shares that with the female and he will be feeding her all summer. the female arrived on march 30th. that‘s the same day as last year. and it is hoped that within the next couple of weeks there will be a nest full of chicks. this footage is from two years ago, but this pair of birds are already attracting a lot of attention. people love to follow them. they build on these huge nests right in the top of trees, they are quite bold, if you like. and they have got this fantastic highway man‘s mask and fantastic black and white markings, and peoplejust find them fascinating. it is already busy here today, but over the next few weeks, around 7000 visitors are expected to come here to foulshaw

just to see if they can get a glimpse of the ospreys. i heard so much about them and coming down from brighton, we don't get to see ospreys much down there. i thought i would nip across the border from north yorkshire and have a look at them. and what did you think when you saw it? it was cool. it looked really nice. osprey numbers declined due to years of persecution, but this is a conservation success story. they are thriving now in scotland and are slowly starting to spread south of the border. what a great story, getting out with a major. —— nature. you are watching the small breakfast. it is just approaching 25 past eight. time for approaching 25 past eight. time for a look at the papers. and the former

conservative mp edwina currie is here to tell us what has cauterised. what has been around has been the gender pay gap. there is a huge inside piece inside the sunday times. and there is an article by the prime minister as well. it is important stuff. what they are trying to do is by having transparency by insisting the figures be collected, then they put the spotlight on. it is not a question of being policed, it is of public opinion. you look at who is doing badly and you look at who is doing badly and you look at who is doing well. it is nice to see that rolls—royce is doing quite well. the cake garb —— the pay gap iust over 8%. and football clubs, millwall was another one. they do not have too

many women in the highest—paid categories, but the question is, what you do about it? i have never worked in an environment where i get paid less. i would not work in that environment is. i started my work back before there was any legislation about all this. i think the real thing is... yes, it is true that women are more likely to be carers, more likely to have family responsibilities, but a responsible employee will think about this and will say to somebody, you should ta ke will say to somebody, you should take the time to do that. we have got a friend nearby who is seriously ill and is not going to make it and his daughter who works for hmrc is able to take two months off to care for him. and that is the way responsible employers should operate. should not affect her career, pressure, but it helps enormously full stop it means she

does not have to resign and she is now available to go back into work when she can. they should be given that time also, men, to complete the caring whorls. —— caring roles. responsible employers treat themselves exactly the same and encourage them to be responsible people in their term. then you are ina people in their term. then you are in a position where you can promote them into management and suddenly you are getting accolades and you are doing well. a story you have picked out in the sunday telegraph, uber is blamed for many else. this story is right up my street. paris taxi drivers used to be amongst the worst, not quite in the world, but they were famously rude. you might book a cab and find it has got 10 euros on the clock already

and they would shout at the people and they would shout at the people and play loud music. and then comes competitors, because there is more than one. a changing the law came with emmanuel macron when he was economic ‘s minister in previous administration and he removed the monopoly and suddenly the taxi drivers are finding that nobody wa nts to drivers are finding that nobody wants to ride with them any more! so they have improved their manners and they have improved their manners and they are now training the drivers, they are now training the drivers, they have to be nice and polite and they have to be nice and polite and they have to be nice and polite and they have do greet the customers. it says they receive lessons on service with a smile, how do iron a shirt and other things. and it says their rating improved immediately. there was the piece a couple of weeks ago about a waiter in america who was french and he had been sacked and he said it was constructive dismissal because he had the right to be rude because he was french. what it says is competition helps the customer and it helps raise

standards for everyone. we are looking at karen brady writing it on his son on sunday. talking about the lack of women and female mps on have i got news for you. i was the first tory mp on have i got news for you. i got invited on twice and i must have done well because they never asked me again. they have been saying that the reason there are so few women is they will not accept the invitation is that is because it is quite an aggressive programme but it if you have been in the house of commons, you should be accustomed to that. they have very few women presenters. i‘m here to say i am available. they claim they ask lots of women, but i know lots of women who have never been asked. our very own steph was on have i got news for you and

she did very well. she more than held her own. i think it is about time the elderly male comedians stopped stereotyping women and other people, people who are not like them and realise we have lots to contribute. thank you very much, edwina. nice to see you. coming up in the next half hour... she‘s about to make the jump from britain to bollywood. we‘ve been to meet banita sandhu at home in south wales, ahead of her big film release in india this week. stay with us, headlines coming up. hello, this is breakfast with ben thompson and rachel burden. here‘s a summary of this morning‘s main news. dozens of people are reported to have been killed in what activists say was a chemical attack on the city of douma — a rebel—held area close to the syrian capital damascus. a warning, you might find these images distressing. the us state department has described the reports as "horrifying". syria‘s government has called the allegations of a chemical attack a "fabrication". earlier we spoke to one aid group with doctors on the ground in syria. our doctors were concerned about

some symptoms of the patients. it looks like exposure to an asset. we have seen these cases. we are reviewing. more facts will come in the next hours. rising violence on britain‘s streets is not caused by falling police numbers according to the home secretary. writing in the daily telegraph amber rudd said evidence did not back up claims that reduced resources were the cause of increased crime. the governement has outlined a new strategy to tackle serious violence, including a new task force, and tougher controls on the purchase of knives and corrosive substances in england and wales. one man has died and four firefighters have been injured in a fire at trump tower in new york. the victim was a male

moving in front of each other, until darren burnett, scotland‘s skip, put distance between the two. tremendous stuff! with one more end to go, could australia fight back? it's all over! the fourth gold medal of this game is 1a scotland. tom bosworth was looking to add to the treasure in the race walk. the first athletics event of this game. and it was a tussle between england and australia. bosworth was delighted with a silver medal. there was a lot of emotion in that last one. i wa nted of emotion in that last one. i wanted a medal badly. i didn‘t think i would be in it until the end. it‘s awesome. it‘s my first major championships medal. really good day. not such a good day for claire talents. she was leading, but then disqualified with just two kilometres to go. her chance of a

medal of any colour has gone. she was inconsolable. that meant wales could sneak up to third and claimed bronze. mark dry of scotland won the same in the hammer throw. england‘s nick miller went one better. that looks insanely big! he took the gold medal. amazing. highlight for me is the commonwealth record. and i beat my coach‘s personal best. that was a big thing for me. everything went well. another gold medal in the long jump. olivia bream winning the t38 for wales. both teams went looking for wales. both teams went looking for more prizes. sarah davies was eyeing up gold in the weightlifting. 0h! agonisingly close, silver will have to do, an honour she can share with her boyfriend, jack oliver, a

couple of medals in that household and a very strong relationship. before i get onto the football, some breaking news from england and the gymnastics, courtney tulloch has just won a gold medal in the men‘s rings. and a gold medalfor england in the uneven bars. manchester city‘s title celebrations are going have to wait. in a dramatic manchester derby, city threw away a 2—0 lead against manchester united and went on to lose 3—2. david ornstein was at the etihad. ra rely rarely has a manchester derby being played with so much at stake. united desperate to deny city. the champions elect couldn‘t have wished for a better start. captain vincent kompany leading from the front, jubilation from the hosts, one hand on the trophy. united were on the ropes. soon came another devastating blow. city went into dreamland, the party now in full swing. a standing

ovation for the home side at the break. but they should have been further ahead. and how costly that would prove, because shortly after half—time united hit back, their world record signing, paul pogba, breathing new life into the contest. just two minutes later the frenchman, again, showed his worth, to draw the visitors level in a game that was living up to the hype. still, though, there was time for more drama. chris smalling showing a striker‘s instinct to complete an extraordinary comeback for united and leave their arch rivals shellshocked. the performance in the second half, ok, you can have m ista kes second half, ok, you can have mistakes like that, but in that situation it is tough when you are up situation it is tough when you are up againsta situation it is tough when you are up against a good team. now we need six points to finish top four. now we need three less to finish second, which is our target after finishing top four and to win here, against

the best team of the premier league, it's a fantastic result for us. these city fans arrived with high expectations and they leave dejected. they will need to refocus for tuesday‘s crucial european game against liverpool. as for the title celebrations they are on hold. elsewhere, the merseyside derby ended goalless. that allowed tottenham draw level on points with liverpool in 3rd place — spurs beat stoke 2—1, thanks to two goals from christian erikssen. there‘s just one round to go at the masters golf, and patrick reed is still the man to catch, but rory mcilroy is really giving him a run for his money at augusta. this eagle at the 8th one of the highlights of his round, he‘s 11 under. but the american, reed, responded in style — two eagles on the back nine — he‘s three shots clear of mcilroy. he has a three shot lead. i feel

like all of the pressure is on him. he has to protect that. he has a few quys he has to protect that. he has a few guys chasing him. pretty big—time players. he has that to deal with and sleep on tonight. i feel like i can go out there and play like i have nothing to lose. back here on the gold coast. it will be dark in a minute so i am going to get back into the city soon. i think it is going to be a great night in the velodrome, the gymnastics hall, the velodrome, the gymnastics hall, the athletics and swimming have also begun. so far i think today has been the best team with gold for northern ireland, and medals for wales and england. if i was to run up the coast and get to brisbane, that is where the velodrome is, and from there you are about to speak to one of scotland‘s gold medallists. off you go! see you later!

laughter doesn‘t he look well. he does. as to our next couple of guests. we will meet a couple of medallists from the commonwealth games, in the velodrome, we will talk to para—cyclist neil fachie. how do you feel? i was fortunate to win the title is back in glasgow. i had the opportunity to come out and defend the title. it was amazing to do. especially in this fantastic velodrome on the gold coast. very proud. it‘s been amazing. cheering it has been very loud, as you can hear. i have only experienced the velodrome in london for the 2012
