here we go. three, two, one. jibo‘s designed not just to give you information but to manipulate your feelings, whereas this piece of technology over here is designed to manipulate your body. you strap on these muscles into an area where maybe you're feeling a bit weaker and it actually gives you extra strength. and so this exhibition asks — as we integrate technology more and more into our daily lives, does it change what it actually means to be human? in fact, this show asks more questions about the future than it provides answers. take this state of the art driverless car, for example. are we happy to delegate those life—and—death decisions, which have to be made on the road, to what is basically a computer? and maybe even bigger than that, are we happy to give away liberties which we have fought for for generations to technology? and then, of course, there is the biggest question of them all — what chance is there of eternal life?
10:31 pm
that's a question this part of the exhibition seeks to explore, with anti—ageing pills and brain scanners. all hopeful and optimistic, but perhaps this is the most realistic option, at least at the moment — the cryonics institute. this is the kit of parts you need for a shot at immortality. it has to be applied by someone else, obviously. there's a drug which gets placed in the heart, there's an ice bath, there's a cpr machine and then you get put into this white casket and sent off to deep freeze. and then, at some moment, maybe a millennia away, this body can come out, be thawed and who knows, be a sentient human being, when all the future that is described in this exhibition is the past. a look at the future with arts editor will gompertz. newsnight is coming up on bbc two. here on bbc one, it's time for the news where you are. hello and welcome to

hunted all season should know that by now but chelsea, the champions league chasers looking upwards. two teams - different ambitions that teams with different ambitions that somehow remained level early on. in front of the auto fan the other dogs continued to hang in there for the points needed to guarantee their premier league survival and what was a tense first half. the blood pressure will increase after the break as their first real chance fell. they would not be stopped by anything or anyone. despite the celebrations you just knew that would not be in. an unfortunate stroke of luck marked that he knew nothing about this. his goal guaranteed a connected —— connecticut 30 minutes. 0ne guaranteed a connected —— connecticut 30 minutes. one of the best goal scrambles you could ever wish to see followed by a spectacular save that kept huddersfield level and kept them up.
10:35 pm
the chelsea champions league chase damage. huddersfield no longer hunted. they are hosed and against all the odds. the players have done it, they have a lwa ys the players have done it, they have always believed that if a ball sometimes the impossible is possible. the guys have done and this makes me even more proud that they have done it. they did not rely on anybody and they have done it on their own. this isjust incredible. we're talking about a game that you must win. because you dominate the game increase the chance to win. we did not do this and congratulations to others. they fought a lot and
10:36 pm
they do. so, chelsea's slip up. 0pened the champions league doorfor tottenham. their 1—0 win over newcastle at wembley means they are guaranteed a top fourfinish. tottenham weren't at their best in the first half but improved after the break and a goal from harry kane — his 28th league goal of the season — was enough to secure victory. playing 38 games and premier league away from home with a massive effort. i want to congratulate him and say thank you, and i think it's massive the for the club. the champions league would be fantastic now. there were emotional scenes at the etihad stadium, where champions manchester city bid farewell to yaya toure with a record—breaking night. their 3—1 win over brighton means they've scored the most goals in a premier league season. although toure didn't get on the scoresheet himself... pep guardiola's side have also now obtained the most points ever

in the premier league. in tonights‘s other match leicester beat ten—man arsenal 3—1 at the king power stadium. jamie vardy getting one of those from the penalty spot. that arsene wenger‘s penultimate game in charge of arsenal, who stay sixth. leicester, despite the win, are still ninth. so here's how the top of the table looks. confirmation that spurs will finish in the top four and qualify for the champions league. the last place will be taken by either liverpool or chelsea. chelsea are two points behind the reds heading into the last match of the season on sunday. liverpool could still qualify for the champions league if they finish outside the top four by beating real madrid in the champions league final at the end of the month. and here's the bottom. huddersfield are safe after their draw at chelsea. so swansea look doomed. they will have to beat stoke on sunday and hope manchester city win at southampton. swansea also need a big swing in goal difference so it really looks as if the swans will be playing in the championship next season.

10:40 pm
tough to break down. especially the speed of his movement. i knew rallying with him and trying to move him was not going to be the right way. luckily i have an aggressive game style and doing well. doing that helped. meanwhile, serena williams has pulled out of this month's italian 0pen, just five days after she opted out of the madrid 0pen. the 23 time grand slam champion says she needs more time to prepare for her first clay season since giving birth in september. her decision puts in doubt her participation at the french open, which starts on the 27th of may. the 36—year—old hasn't played a match on clay since reaching the final at roland garros in 2016. chris froome is 57 seconds behind leader rohan dennis after stage five of the giro d'talia. the three time tour de france winner was among the chasing pack but didn't come close to winning the sprint stage, which local favourite enrico battaglin took. better news for simon yates though, he finished in fifth and remains third overall —

10:42 pm
bringing us tomorrow. with me are jack blanchard, who's the editor of politico's london playbook, and rosamund urwin, the financial services correspondent at the sunday times. many of tomorrow's front pages are already in. let's start with the metro. it features a picture of summer grant — the seven year old girl who died after being thrown in to the air on a bouncy castle — two fairground workers have been found guilty of manslaughter by gross negligence. the telegraph talk about new plans for the nhs where 999 patients will be assessed by video before ambulances are sent out. a shake up at rolls royce features on the front of the financial times. its chief operating officer, simon kirby, is the fist high profile casualty — afterjust 19 months in thejob. oh baby! — it's a ‘royal exclusive‘ on the front of the mirror.

10:44 pm
pages. and, jack, i‘m going to start with the independent online. claiming its exclusive here about jeremy corbyn under fire from his own mps. five backbench labour mps have written for day calling for labor to back the second referendum on the brexit deal. it‘s interesting because there‘s so done from the government that is split about brexit. it‘s easy to forget that the labour party is deeply divided on what the best way forward is. this is another example of this today. it's is another example of this today. it‘s particularly timely because we have this vote in the house of lords last night where i‘m excitedly they voted in favour of bridge and staying in the single market and puts that pack on the table as an option for the house of commons to
10:45 pm
consider. suddenly there‘s a huge amount of pressure being put on jeremy corbyn from his own mps that he should change tack and state labor supports this as well. that‘s what we are seeing today. it‘s a very interesting moment for him to see how he responds to the pressure. even in his own shadow cabinet we have divisions on this. absolutely. these backbenchers are not names
