6:01 am
are being used to help preserve our paths. and matt has the weather. good morning. still a few heavy downpours of out today, especially in scotland. for the vast majority it is dry, and for quite a few of you, a sunny sunday. all the details coming up. good morning. first, our main story. a special service will be held at southwark cathedral this afternoon to remember those killed and injured in the terrorist attack on london bridge and borough market a year ago today. eight people died and 48 others were hurt. simon clemison reports. borough market, ten o'clock. how a saturday night should be. the more you think about it the more you impact it —— let it impact your
6:02 am
life, they have won. so just carry on. let's get rid of the barriers, let's carry on with our day—to—day lives. i feel pretty safe now, because the government, the police, is taking care of it. the city knows how to live past difficulties. it has done that many, many times through way more difficult experiences. so really, i think people look on. police were prepared for a new style of attack, where individuals or groups go on the rampage, sometimes turning cars and va ns rampage, sometimes turning cars and vans into weapons. but this was not the first of its kind in 2017 and it wasn't the last. after people were knocked down on london bridge, the attackers ran towards the market, stabbing those they passed before being shot dead by armed officers. with the manchester arena bomb, there were five attacks in the uk last year. but there are those who are keen that each one is not forgotten. today's service at southwark cathedral will also honour the work of the emergency services.
6:03 am
we have a long history of serving the people, the residents of this parish. but this has seen a new level of strength. and that is very encouraging, because it could have destroyed. that is what the intention was. but actually, it has built something that is rather beautiful. solidarity and defiance are words often used. but here it is about actions, too. it is saturday night and they are enjoying it. and simonjoins us now from southwark cathedral. what can we expect from today's service? it is going to be incredibly moving. i think it is indeed. and it reminded me of being at finsbury park mosque after the attack near there, a similar attack, and park mosque after the attack near there, a similarattack, and in park mosque after the attack near there, a similar attack, and in the aftermath of that people came together. they had a show of solidarity thereto as they prayed together the very next night. he wrote southwark cathedral we are just steps away from borough market,
6:04 am
where eight people died and dozens we re where eight people died and dozens were injured. —— here at southwark cathedral. families will be here this afternoon, lighting candles at about three o'clock, and at about az30pm they will take a walk down to london bridge, which isjust down the road, and at az30pm they will be a minute's silence, which people across the country are encouraged to join in. an olive tree will be planted in the grounds here, a tree of healing. and also, the hashtag #londonunited will appear on london bridge. we have seen that before but it really does sum up sentiments of people i have been speaking to you, one year on from that attack last night. —— speaking to here. and we'll speak to the dean of southwark cathedral at 7:10 this morning. the government is warning that the threat from islamist terrorism will remain for at least the next two years, and that the threat from extreme right—wing groups is growing. let's talk to our political correspondent mark lobel. what can we expect to hear from
6:05 am
sajid javid? what can we expect to hear from sajid javid? following a security review since the terror attacks across britain last year, the government wants to do more to catch and punish terrorists, and also find out more about those people with no links to terrorist organisations. they hope to do that in three ways. firstly, by sharing more data. they wa nt firstly, by sharing more data. they want m15 to declassify more of the information it has on the 3000 people it is currently investigating, as was 20,000 people have investigated in the past two might pose a threat in the future. —— who might. they want that information shared with local government agencies such as social services or neighbouring police groups, so services or neighbouring police groups, so they can use that information is well to manage the risks of these people. secondly, they want to have longer prison sentences for people convicted of terrorist offences, and also to monitor those people more closely when they come out of prison. thirdly, those much talked about discussions with companies, they
6:06 am
wa nt to discussions with companies, they want to move forward and do more to combat and spot terrorism online. the government says there has been progress, they have foiled four plots by right—wing extremists since last march, as worst 12 plots by islamist terrorists since last march. now, we are expecting the government to publish more of its plans on funding and staffing, so for example it could fund the prevent programme which helps to identify potential terrorists, and it could also increase the amount of people who work in the security services. those plans could be unveiled tomorrow. but as you say, sajid javid, who is appearing on the andrew marr programme this morning, is likely to be asked about that. thank you. yes, sajid javid on andrew marr from nine copies morning. —— from nine o'clock this morning. a 17—year—old boy has been stabbed to death in ipswich, in what was police believe was a targeted attack. witnesses said the teenager was leaving a shop in the town centre yesterday afternoon when he was attacked by two men. he was found with life—threatening injuries and died later in hospital.
6:07 am
a 41—year—old man has been arrested. firefighters have put out a fire at a six—storey block of flats in central london. ten fire engines and 72 firefighters were called to the blaze in harley street just before 6: 00pm yesterday. the building includes flats, a dental clinic and an eye clinic. finance ministers from the rest of the g7 have urged their american counterpart to tell donald trump how disappointed they are about new us tariffs on steel and aluminium imports. they warned washington there were only days left to avoid a trade war. this report from lebo diseko. as family photos go, this looked pretty awkward for one member. us treasury secretary steve mnuchin, facing his counterparts from some of america's closest allies, united in their frustration at the us' latest tariffs. over the course of the last couple of days there was an important difference of opinion. the americans have decided, in our mind, to take an action that is not at all constructive.
6:08 am
it is actually destructive to our ability to get things done around tariffs on steel and aluminium. mr mnuchin played down talk of us isolation, saying his country believes in the g7. i think our leadership on the economy, which is one of president trump's major objectives, that national security, is not only good for the united states, but is good for growth around the world. signing in measures against cheap steel and aluminium imports was a key campaign promise for mr trump. he said china was a key offender, but now america's allies have been hit as well. the tariffs on the eu, canada and mexico have led to a heated response. canada is imposing dollarfor dollar countermeasures and the eu says it is taking the matter to the world trade organisation. the message from six of these finance ministers is that there could be a trade war within days. so if this meeting has been tense, next week's summit of g7 heads of state could be
6:09 am
even more difficult. the government has confirmed that it intends to launch a free website for schools in england to advertise teacher vacancies later this year. the department for education says it hopes the measure will help schools to save money, as andy moore reports. it is estimated english schools spend about £75 million every year recruiting staff. later this year the government hopes to roll out a service that will be free to schools. it will advertise part—time jobs and job shares, as well as full—time vacancies. another issue for schools is the cost of supply teachers. every time there is a hole in the teaching roster, they have to find someone to fill in, and with the number of holes increasing all the number of holes increasing all the time, the bill for supply teachers is also going up. from september, supply agencies will have
6:10 am
to clearly disclose their fees. there will also be a list of agencies which don't charge fees when staff are taken on permanently. education secretary damian hind said: the association of school and couege the association of school and college leaders said any move to reduce employment costs was welcomed, but its general secretary, geoff harton, said the bigger problem was an ongoing crisis in teacher recruitment and retention. coronation street and hollyoaks have dominated this year's british soap awards. eastenders took home three prizes, with rudolph walker, who plays patrick truman, being recognised with the outstanding achievement award. hollyoaks picked up four awards. coronation street took six, including best british soap. i've got 30 seconds to say thank you
6:11 am
to all of you for voting for coronation street! well done to coronation street! well done to coronation street. well done to them, fantastic. you will need a head for heights here. if you've been struggling to sleep through a muggy night you might fancy a refreshing dip this morning. but maybe not if it involves a 90—foot dive. this is the world diving series championship at possum kingdom lake in texas. divers are falling at around 50 miles per hour by the time they hit the water. the event was won by kris kohlanus from poland, with britain's blake aldridge in third. he used to be an olympic diver, blake, he was on the olympic diving team. you could do that, couldn't
6:12 am
you? what was that old advert on the telly? top bombing? that would be neat. i would love to see that. it would not be a pretty sight. a big splash, that's for sure. let's have a quick look at the papers. we will start with the sunday times this morning, and a lot of the papers, as they have been for months now, are talking about brexit. here they have a leader article, doomsday, talking about brexit. here they have a leaderarticle, doomsday, no talking about brexit. here they have a leader article, doomsday, no deal brexit. this says written will be hit with shortages of medicine, fuel and food within a fortnight if the uk tries to leave the eu without aid deal. —— britain will be hit. they are also talking about it kickbacks in the rehab scandal, house a car just have been taking thousands of pounds in kickbacks in upmarket private clinics. —— how psychiatrists have been taking. not much consistency in the papers this
6:13 am
morning, it is one of those days we re morning, it is one of those days were lots of different things are going on. the queen is on the front of the sunday telegraph, yesterday was the derby at epsom. they do have a brexit story, priti patel says the tories are no longer the party of meritocracy. she says the party is losing the battle of ideas and she is attacking negativity over the issue of brexit. a lovely picture of the queen at derby. helen mirren is featured on the front page of the 0bserver featured on the front page of the observer today. an eye—catching hat, the paper says, at epsom yesterday. they are also discussing brexit in their lead story, talking about how they believe theresa may could be replaced with michael gove to sort out the brexit situation, according toa out the brexit situation, according to a lead tory donor. the mail on sunday has a story they claim they have found, this is all tied into, of course, a very british scandal, thejeremy of course, a very british scandal, the jeremy thorpe docudrama, of course, a very british scandal, thejeremy thorpe docudrama, which has been running on the bbc. they claimed to have found the man who
6:14 am
was allegedly hired to killjeremy thorpe's mother. this is the mail on sunday, their front—page story this morning. and the sunday mirror this morning. and the sunday mirror this morning is referring to a british man who was found dead in the desert where the breaking bad series was filmed. the sunday express, we will quickly show you this. you remember last year, we were talking about borough market and london bridge, the terror attacks. sunday express employee jeff ho the terror attacks. sunday express employeejeff ho was involved, he got a lot of coverage afterwards, and here is a picture of him on the front page seen, sorry, isis, you lost. —— say in. front page seen, sorry, isis, you lost. -- say in. the community of course coming together today for that service, southwark cathedral will have more on that later on. a beautiful morning here in salford. you are talking about diving into the water. look how calm and still it is outside. i have seen that
6:15 am
water close—up, i'm not sure. they directly to open water swimming in their, people who do triathlons and such, it is not for me. a bit too chilly? too chilly for me. but i think it is going to brighten up today. so said the person that promised us that a little bit. we sticking to that forecast this morning? a lovely start in salford. sunshine sunshine in england and wales and northern scotland. this is the north coast of devon. a calm start to the day for the vast majority. some exceptions. always happens. that's in central and southern scotland. heavy rain in central and southern areas. some showers in cornwall in the next few hours. they will come and go and depart in the afternoon.

6:18 am
temperatures are where they should be for the time of year. climbing a bit through the week. heavy showers a little bit as the week goes on. more throughout the morning. back to you. a perfect morning for a bit of a dip. thank you for now. back with the headlines at 630 after the film review. hello, and welcome to the film review on bbc news. to take us through this week's cinema releases is jason solomons. so jason, what do we have this week? we have got books, sex and football this week in the cinema releases. diane keaton and jane fonda rekindle a passion for reading in book club. is it dinnerfor two or room
6:19 am
for more in sexy french thriller l'amant double? and who is the greatest english football manager of all time? some famous names put the case in football documentary bobby. what can possibly go wrong with this one? i did wonder. we will start with jane fonda, diane keaton. they are all there. it is four old friends who have been going to a book club for 30 or a0 years, they have had marriages, some have, their husbands have died, some are divorced, they have had children, they have grown up. they get given a new book and it is el what's her name. 50 shades of grey — who wrote that book? any way, someone wrote it. we know the book. whoever wrote it! this puts themselves in all in a tizzy, the soft erotica
6:20 am
makes them feel perhaps they are wasting their time and they should be reigniting their sex life, so they decide to do so, including receiving gentleman callers for the first time in many years. here is diane keaton answering the door to a new boyfriend. 0k, you're going to be great. great. this is going to be amazing. let's get to the window. just act natural. well, hey you. oh, good, you're home. he's wearing jeans. i love a man injeans. let me see. he's got a cute tush. um... oh, you brought me flowers? there you go. thank you so much. he brought flowers. i love a man who brings flowers. if you don't like them,
6:21 am
you have to blame your neighbour, i picked them from their garden. oh, you're kidding me. no. the last time she went on a date she got pregnant. i don't think that's going to happen this time! there you go. is it... i say this as a massive fan of grace and frankie, which jane fonda starred in. that is the talking about getting older and the trials and tribulations, does this do it as well? that is andy garcia at the door. i didn't recognise him. he hasn't changed that much. he was sort of diane keaton‘s nephew in the godfather 3, so that is weird. casting issues are the least of this film's worries, to be honest. yes, it should be aimed at older women. my mum has been a member of a book club and i thought they went round to discuss literature or the latest barbara taylor bradford. they guzzle gallons of wine and melt into terrible innuendo about viagra,
6:22 am
and that is what these people do. i think this is very patronising, this film. part of the fact it wastes four great actresses with terrible scripts, bad lighting, bad editing. you are waiting for the laughs to come and they are not there. it gets embarrassing seeing jane fonda, who was sexually forward thinking in the ‘70s, with films like klute, and diane keaton who set the bar with annie hall. this puts it backwards. i am all for older women talking about their sex lives and having sex, that is fine, but here, it just felt that none of these people were real at all, or got themselves into real situations, that might be construed as comic. and it is a waste of talent, which is a shame. shame. i would like your mum to review the film. take us through something you enjoyed more. yes, this is a sexy french thriller, which is how i like them. it is called l'amant double. we are so au fait with these
6:23 am
we don't need to translate them. it is about a young woman called chloe, who works in an art gallery, who goes to see a psychiatrist to get rid of an existential pain she has. her psychiatrist falls in love with her so he can't treat her, so he sends her to another one who looks a bit like him, could it be his evil twin brother? he gives out a different treatment to chloe. i hope people are keeping up. it's not easy to keep up, you think what has just happened. some of it is saucy, i take... i like my french people naked. that is sort of how they should be in the cinema. i think maybe during brexit negotiations we should imagine our french audience naked. during brexit negotiations, things might go smoother. don't bring brexit into it!
6:24 am
that is too much. it is by a french director who is a fine french director, it is about gender fluidity, sexual identity, duality, old and young, it is a smart film, dressed up as one of these, almost one of those flashy american thrillers like, do you remember nine and a half weeks? showing our age, talking about that! it harks back to that. stylish, beautiful, the man and woman are very sexy leads, it's very well done. 0k, and now we move the football. yes. it is all happening this week. ruud gullittcalled it sexy football. a new documentary about bobby robson, the england manager during maradona's hand of god incident in 86, and for that shoot out in italian 90,
6:25 am
where we went out to germany. but it is not bobby robson's fault. what people forget is he managed at barcelona, in holland and porto, in portugal, where he won titles and metjose mourinho, who became his assistant and was in shot constantly. whatever happened to him! it is terrific. it is about the relationships, that he had as a manager, perhaps the most famous with was his relationship with a footballer called gazza. paul gascoigne. some guy. crazy as hell. i call him daft as a brush, and he was. daft as a brush, yeah, he can be that. so i had to wait until he was absolutely ready, until we felt we could really rely on him. he says if you play well, i'm going to pick you for the world cup. commentator: gascoigne! thank you very much. set up three and scored one.
6:26 am
and i always remember him — "that was fantastic. " going to spend two hours tomorrow with him, to try and restore a bit of confidence, you know, he's lacking in confidence, isn't he, the boy. do you have to be an absolute football lover to enjoy this or does it tell you lots of things about the man you didn't know before? i think it helps ans i think it's my era of football fandom, but it is more about this man, bobby robson, who was vilified in the press many times, who kept going through it. it is about the career of someone lasting, and becoming something greater than football, because his lasting legacy, as the film shows, his cancer unit he set up in newcastle, which is saving lives, he did bring huge smiles to the nation. the maradona incident is one
6:27 am
of the most famous you will see, italia 90 is etched on people. the fact he was a european football manager with a great odyssey, is he is the last english manager to have won a trophy in 1997, so he belongs to a different era. i thought this was a warm, sort of outstandingly informational documentary as well. it taught me stuff i had forgotten and there is great goals and fiendish behaviours of footballers. it is about being more than a manager. fascinating and a great documentary. thank you. best out this week, an animated film i thought was terrific. yes, this is the bread winner. it was an oscar nominee, it didn't win, but this is very different. i love the style of animation, an irish animation house but pixar illustrated arabic tale. it is dominated by the taliban where an 11—year—old girl has to disguise herself as a boy in order to keep herfamily alive. women are not even allowed to go to the market. so it is about the freedoms she deliciously first experiences and the sadness she has to change gender to do so. it is innocent and beautiful,
6:28 am
and it is about telling stories as well and keeping those stories alive. it is very different to your smooth kind of committee honed pixarfilms. it has heart and soul and a brave girl at the heart of it. a terrific story and beautifully told, and a cracking dvd for anyone who wants to stay in. more genderfluidity, a fantastic woman. it is about a transgendered nightclub singer in chile, who loses her lover and has to face society on her own without her lover. brilliantly played by daniela vega. she does stare at you. she is proud, enigmatic and fantastic. wonderful.
6:29 am
thank you. good to see you. thank you very much indeed. a mixed bag. enjoy your cinema going, whatever you are getting up to. see you this time next week. thanks for being with us. goodbye. hello, this is breakfast with rogerjohnson and babita sharma. good morning.
6:30 am
here's a summary of today's main stories from bbc news. a special service will be held at southwark cathedral this afternoon to remember those killed and injured in the terrorist attack on london bridge a year ago today. eight people died when attackers drove a van into crowds, before launching a knife attack in borough market. the service will be followed by a national minute's silence at az30pm. bbcjournalist hollyjones was on her way to meet friends when the attack happened. it isa it is a very strange thing to see somebody‘s belongings just scattered in the street. as an example, there was one issue and one phone on the pavement, and it sounds strange, but that doesn't make sense to you in your head, it is not an everyday thing that you notice. —— one shoe and one phone. and obviously there we re and one phone. and obviously there were people in things, it was so much worse than the movies. the government is warning that the threat from islamist terrorism will remain for at least the next two years and that the threat from extreme right—wing groups is growing. the warning comes as the home
6:31 am
secretary prepares to announce a major review of counter—terrorism strategy. it includes declassification of certain secret intelligence held by m15, to raise awareness about the threat posed by some individuals. a 17—year—old boy has been stabbed to death in ipswich, in what was police believe was a targeted attack. witnesses said the teenager was leaving a shop in the nacton area of the town yesterday afternoon when he was attacked by two men. he was found with life—threatening injuries and died later in hospital. a 41—year—old man has been arrested. finance ministers from the rest of the g7 have urged their american counterpart to tell donald trump how disappointed they are about new us tariffs on steel and aluminium imports. they warned washington there were only days left to avoid a trade war. the chancellor, philip hammond, said he hoped good progress would be made at the leaders' summit later this week. the government has confirmed that it intends to launch a free website

6:33 am
don't want your staff doing that. like all those people who surreptitiously listen to test match special thing the area phones. we don't need to do that if we've got you. that's right. england started their world cup warmup with a victory yesterday and we are getting carried away now as though it is just a matter of time until we lift the world cup. i think there might bea the world cup. i think there might be a little more reason to maybe let your employees watch england win the world cup, it is they were excellent in the first half, i thought, yesterday. —— e—commerce they were excellent. the second half, and second—half, not so much. england played their first of two world cup warm up matches at wembley and there were definite signs of promise from gareth southgate's side. a strong start saw them go 2—0 up in the first half against nigeria before they launched a comeback. 0ur sports correspondant david 0rnstein was watching at wembley. happy and victorious. the task for england is to replicate their form
6:34 am
in friendlies when it matters most. this squad is low on age and experience, an exception being gary kale, and that is —— of the defender used his 32—year—old had to full effect to bring the home side into an early lead. shortly before half—time it was two, harry kane leading by example. the captain you sense will prove key to england's ambitions. nigeria had been obliging opponents, but after the break they bloke. alex iwobi on hand to give them hope, showing why the super eagles believe they can soar this summer. england had lost the momentum and raheem sterling his footing, after a week in which he made headlines for the wrong reasons. another moment for the forward to forget. ultimately, however, for gareth southgate and his tournament bound team, it was a job well done. spirits are high, the training has been fantastic. everybody is at a very high level. we have had some great fitness over the last couple of weeks in
6:35 am
training. yeah, just looking forward to getting out there, you know? a lot of competition for places and that always makes a good squad. a couple more weeks and we will be there. england's attention now turns to theirfinal warmup there. england's attention now turns to their final warmup game against costa rica on thursday. then it is the real thing, the true test of their credentials. world cup fever is building. england will be desperate to deliver. scotland meanwhile were beaten 1—0 by mexico in their international friendly. the former spurs forward giovanni dos santos with the only goal of the game after 13 minutes in mexico city. england go into day three of the second test with pakistan with a lead of 128 after a mixed day at headingly. after a rain delay, they lost captain joe root just short of his half—century. nightwatchman dom bess took full advantage of an extended spell in the middle, making his way to 49 before getting out. england losing five wickets in the day. dawid malan anotherfailing to build a big score as he went for 28. jos buttler and debutant sam curran are at the crease, curran with a late flourish.
6:36 am
so with three wickets left, england will be hoping to build on that lead later today. british number one kyle edmund is out of the french open, losing in five sets to the italian 18th seed, fabio fognini. edmund was 2—1 up in sets, but the 23—year—old yorkshireman was broken in the 5th and final set to hand fognini the place in the last 16 at roland garros. it's been a good season so far for edmund though, reaching his first grand slam semi—final and breaking into the world's top 20 for the first time. just wasn't my day. yeah, for sure, had my chances and he had his chances, but he just got them today. it is just chances, but he just got them today. it isjust one chances, but he just got them today. it is just one of them where it is over now. just sort of reflect a bit

asked him about his chance, and he said, ithink asked him about his chance, and he said, i think it's got a great chance. i have a free bet, i don't know anything about racing, he said he had to chance and it was 22 to one. and then it came. what did you put on it? £2? something like that. happy days. you can buy me a coffee later. we will see later. thank you. it's the time of year when thousands of keen ramblers step out to enjoy the stunning scenery of the lake district, but all that walking is taking its toll on the ground beneath their feet. volunteers have employed a traditional source of labour to help restore the routes that are more difficult to reach — fell ponies. dave guest explains. these fell ponies are on a mission, a mission to save the landscape from which they took their name. the fact is, each year at this time the lakeland is, each year at this time the
6:41 am
la keland fells proven is, each year at this time the lakeland fells proven irresistible draw to thousands of walkers. but the relentless trudging of so many boots ta kes the relentless trudging of so many boots takes its toll on the footpath. for more than a decade, volu nteers footpath. for more than a decade, volunteers from the organisation fix the fells have turned out whatever the fells have turned out whatever the weather to keep footpath is in good order. our usual method of building a park is to do what we call stone pitching, which is using large rocks with a nice flat surface to create a pitch causeway. but there are some environments where this method doesn't work. bobby brown presents particular challenges, challenges they have now met by using a wholly natural and readily available resource. —— boggy ground. sheep ‘s will. readily available resource. —— boggy ground. sheep 's will. the idea with the fleece is that you dig a tray, bundle up the sheep wool like this, and then put on aggregate surface on top. that spreads the weight and prevents it from sinking and because it isa prevents it from sinking and because it is a very wet environment, it will not rot either. the fact is that the price of wool is now so low
6:42 am
that the price of wool is now so low that it often costs to farmers more to ta ke that it often costs to farmers more to take it to market than they actually receive for it. so many are quite happy, presently, to give their will to this project and see it put to good use. the purpose of todayis it put to good use. the purpose of today is to take these local herd which fleeces up into the fells above langdale to use them to repair some parts of there which are on pete and have been trampled and are damaged. —— on peat. pete and have been trampled and are damaged. -- on peat. but how do you transport masses of this stuff to remote mountain pathways well beyond the reach of even the best 4x4? answer, think back to the future and use four legs. we all feel that we should put something back. if we wa nt to should put something back. if we want to use these routes we should be prepared to help with them too. and so, laden with the latest batch of supplies, our a—legged heroes plod onwards and upwards. this is a new experience for both of us. it is good fun. he has taken to it like a duck to water. this is what he was
6:43 am
bred for. this is what the fell ponies were bred for. so they are using a wholly organic material conveyed by carbon neutral transport to fix the fells. what could be more environment and the friendly than that? -- environment and the friendly than that? —— environmentally. a beautiful part of the world. i was up a beautiful part of the world. i was up the old man of commerce this time last year. it is really nice. —— 0ld man of coniston. it's 6:115, and you're watching breakfast from bbc news. the main stories this morning: a national minute's silence will be held this afternoon to mark the first anniversary of the london bridge terror attack. a service of remembrance will be held in southwark cathedral. meanwhile, the government has used the launch of a new counter—terrorism strategy to warn that the uk still faces a severe threat from islamist terrorism and that the risk of right—wing violence is rising. let's get the weather forecast. matt, we heard that may was the

6:47 am
the weather as "uh—huh" yesterday. today, it's "mmm." we'll bring you the headlines at 7am. time now for all the latest technology news in this week's click. see you soon. a bit of rain, a bit of sun and a lot of books. that's the world—renowned hay festival.
6:48 am
once a year, the small town of books, hay—on—wye on the england—wales border, hosts thousands of visitors, ready to fill their boots with fact, fiction, opinion and debate. screams hay is a great place to hear from authors, and scientists and big thinkers. and, when you've done all that, you can come and see us too. for the third year in a row, we've been invited to show off some cool tech before a live audience. of course, we turn someone into communist revolutionary vladimir lenin using vr. why wouldn't we? do you actually feel like you're there then? yeah. i can turn around and i can see everything, like, i've got a whole room. and we played mind games with neurologist doctor hannah critchlow, and albert einstein. even though you know that it's the wrong way round,
6:49 am
i cannot help seeing that this is going the wrong way. anotherface is popping out, but actually it's the back end of the mask. i was put on the spot with a challenge that gave me shivers and flashbacks to my mastermind appearance. oh, god! oh, my god! what does the g stand for in gdpr? oh, god! gregory! no, its general. the island of tuvalu, which lies in the pacific ocean, midway between hawaii and australia, is located at which top level domain popular with television channels? what? .tv? and then there was click‘s very own patented shouty wave game which we call hay fever. as one half of the audience tries to push the other half off a see—saw. all shout it's controlled using image and speech recognition, to make sense of all the waggling and yelling, you know. right, we're going to move on now and look at a piece of technology which aims to help blind people to navigate... well, anywhere, better. many blind people have
6:50 am
fantastic spatial awareness, but at events like these, and everywhere else, there are always things that will catch you out. gary 0'donoghue's been testing a new pair of glasses in washington, dc. hey, erin, how are you doing? hi, gary, thanks for calling aira. i'm in washington, dc on the national mall, and right by the reflecting pool. this is one of washington's most popular tourist spots. but even though i've lived here for more than three years, i've never been able to experience this walk alone. but that just changed. of course you have the reflecting pool on your right hand side,
6:51 am
and i can see way off in the distance the washington monument. what's helping me do this is a service called aira. the name a nod to artificial intelligence and, i'm told, something to do with egyptian mythology. egyptians aside, though, it combines a dedicated smart phone connected to new custom—made glasses with a camera between the lenses, with an impressive 120—degree field of view, both horizontally and vertically. tap a button on the phone twice and you're connected to a trained sighted agent who gets your video feed. while there are other apps that connect sighted help to blind people, it's the combination of the tech and the quality of the agent that makes this feel different. the tasks it can help with can be a simple or as complicated as you want, from booking a car to helping you keep up with your social media presence. as a journalist, i want to be able to access all platforms, and now i can even independently post to instagram. that looks spot on, so it looks very centred. isee l, 0, vand e. it took me a long time to... iwon't say keep my mouth shut, but it took me
6:52 am
a while to understand, and through the training process, to understand what information is important and what information is not important. so there is a bit of a learning curve — at least there was for me — to understand what was opinionated versus what wasn't. the service is currently available in america and has just launched in canada and australia, with plans to expand in the uk. all the agents work from home and the calls are priced per minute of their time. and they're working on a smart assistant that will automate basic tasks, like reading text or identifying barcodes so you don't waste minutes there. and in some places like airports, it's free. the airports will sponsor the service to pick up the cost while you're there, and aira draws a geofence around the location so you're not billed for the time. every disabled person has their airport horror story. if you're visually impaired and if you ask for help, they tend to want to stick you in a wheelchair. so if this bit of tech can help me avoid that kind of episode, i'm up for it.
6:53 am
it says "scan your document's barcode." and go to the leftjust slightly and pause and select. this is actually the back of the receipt advertising for american express, and now it's upside down if you'll rotate it. 0k, perfect. it takes a little while but it's doable, isn't it? that's amazing. there's a bench here on the right—hand side. you have a narrow path here and then you're going to have a bag on the left and a man on the right. so a very narrow path here. i know everyone talks about independence. it's not independence, it's choice. the issue is choice. normally when i go to an airport, you see, the most you can really ask of someone who's helping you, guiding you through, the most you can really ask of them is to show you where the loo is and possibly buy
6:54 am
a bottle of water. after that, you're done. i want to shop! aira has adopted a subscription model, and while the hardware is free, there's a sliding scale for monthly minutes. it's not cheap. currently, 100 minutes set you back 89 us dollars. the unlimited plan, $329 per month. given most blind people are unemployed and those who work often earn less than average wages, isn't that a bit out of reach for most people? as we started to hear more about the financial concerns, we started to go to the businesses and say, "these are your customers. can you start to pay for the aira service?" so what we then did is added the guest programme. so again, today, you can sign up as a guest for free and use it in places that you go. so am i persuaded?
6:55 am
there's no doubt that being able to do even small things at the time of your choosing feels great, but it's still expensive and, of course, there's the huge looming question of privacy. do i want to show a stranger my bank statement? in the meantime, i'm told there's a little ice cream stall not far from where i am. yeah, absolutely. let's go exploring. so... i think it's about time i got my long—suffering producer a treat. hello, welcome to the week in tech. it was the week that a tesla in autopilot mode crashed into a police car in california. the driver sustained minor injuries after deciding to take a break from the wheel. uk drone users could soon face a fine if they don't undertake an online safety test before taking to the skies. and virgin galactic has completed its second supersonic test flight in two months, yet again sparking talk that an out—of—this—world trip could be edging closer. if you're a street performer, london may be the place to be. buskers in the city can now accept payment via contactless as well as small change, thanks to a partnership between busk in london and the now paypal—owned swedish tech firm izettle. wondering whether it's worth installing solar panels
6:56 am
in your home? google's project sunroof now aims to help homeowners in some parts of the uk find out what savings they could make. it combines machine learning with google earth and maps data, local weather information, and property features, like the angle of your roof. and finally, ever wondered how tight a compression bandage should be? well, engineers at mit have created a colour—changing one to help. high—tech light—tra nsmitting fibres are woven into a conventional bandage, causing it to change colour according to the pressure level. probably not so great if you're colour blind, though! well, back at hay, its deep concentration here in the scribblers hut. it's a digital animation and video mapping workshop run by mash cinema. creepy laughter we are creating monsters, and then we're going to animate them. we're using a free app called tagtool on these ipads. you draw the monsterfirst,
6:57 am
and then you animate it. the idea is its teaching these children more about the art of animation. the software is fairly intuitive. the animating function records the motion of your hand. because it's done on an ipad, you can literally create a 2—d digital creature or animated graffiti whenever inspiration hits. there's also a function that lets you collaborate on artwork with other tagtool users. i thought all the monsters here were equally scary, although here are some of our favourites. but it was after dark that they really came to life. the team went into gorilla mode, projecting the creatures all over the festival site. creepy music plays that's it
6:58 am
for the short of click at the hay festival 2018. if you'd like to see more from us at hay then check out the full—length version, which is up on iplayer right now. next week its world cup time, so we'll be looking at the technology behind football, which apparently is a sport. in the meantime, we live on facebook and twitter @bbcclick. thanks for watching and we'll see you soon. hello, this is breakfast, with rogerjohnson and babita sharma. remembered, one year on. a special service will be held for the victims of the terrorist attack at london bridge and borough market. eight people died and 48 others were injured — today a minute's silence will be held across the country. good morning, it's
