a "fraudulent and illegitimate" election by the opposition mdc alliance. there have been some clashes with police. the mdc leader nelson chamisa says he'll challenge the result in court. the hollywood film producer harvey weinstein is trying to have criminal charges against him of rape, dismissed. his legal team are arguing that prosecutors should have shared e—mail evidence with the grand jury that indicted him. mr weinstein denies all the charges. britain's prime minister, theresa may, has held informal talks with france's president macron at his summer retreat, to try to push her plan for leaving the european union. it's the latest in a series of british meetings with individual european leaders to try to secure a brexit agreement. it's little more than 50 years since donald campbell lost his life, trying to break his own water speed record in the lake district. his jet powered vessel was travelling at more than 300mph, when it crashed on coniston water.

well, bluebird k7, has since been salvaged and painstakingly restored, and is about to take to the water again. lorna gordon has more. the isle of bute in the firth of clyde has never had a visitor like this. bluebird. the jet—engined hydroplane that held seven world records, restored to its former glory in a journey that has taken 17 years. it's all original material, it has been re—repaired and assessed for strength. modern day rivets, all this kind of thing. just a painstaking and thorough rebuild. donald campbell died trying to break his own record as the fastest man on water, hurtling past at more than 300mph on coniston water in the lake district. his daughter, gina, carrying the teddy bear he had with him, has come to bute to see bluebird take to the water again. i'm tingling.

i'm not sure how i'm going to feel to see the boat up close. i think the crux will come when i see someone else climb into the pilot seat. i have never seen anyone else in there other than my dad. this time around, bluebird will be travelling across this scottish loch at much lower speeds, the volunteers involved planning to toast success in an understated style. are you going to celebrate? nice cup of tea. do what the british do best. the project has been built on cups of tea. this, a long waited for chance to celebrate donald campbell's achievements, by seeing his record—breaking craft in action. again. lorna gordon, bbc news, on the isle of bute. in a few minutes it'll be time for the film review. but first — click. planet earth is changing.

daily. we humans are affecting its surface, its climate, its inhabitants. watching from ground level makes it difficult to make sense of it all, but these days we do have the data and we can crunch the numbers. and when it comes to understanding the really big issues, those that have effects on a truly global scale, visualising that data can turn millions of figures into something that everyone can understand. maps like these created by carnegie mellon university's ea rthtime website combine nasa satellite

imagery with a wide range of datasets to produce visualisations of environmental and geopolitical events from light pollution, to refugee movement, to the effects of coral bleaching on areas such as the great barrier reef. one particular area where modelling such as this can display the starkest impacts is flooding. you can see how important that extremely the research that we looked at in miami is. raise the global temperature byjust two degrees and the sea engulfs the entire area. and this here is bangladesh, where rising water levels are putting many, many people at risk. in 2017, a third of the country was left underwater after monsoon rains, devastating crops and communities. but while technology can't prevent rainfall on this scale, it can make predictions to help those in remote communities to try and stay one step

ahead of the weather. paul carter has been looking at how one insurance company has been using its knowledge of risk to help the farmers fight back against the rains. like farmers the world over, in bangladesh they have to battle the elements. but in their case, severe flooding could be a regular occurrence. given the impact floods can have, weather information and advice on what farmers should do with their crops is disseminated to communities through phone voice messages. or via call centres that farmers can ring in to. and for those who don't have phones or live in remote off—line areas, there are also weatherboards at district points where farmers can come to receive information. when floods destroyed this farmer's crops, it cost him about

three months‘ wages. these initiatives were set up by the bangladeshi government and an international charity that helps communities find sustainable solutions through technology. and now, an app being piloted is taking things even further. the ‘sesame‘ app uses machine learning to combine historical knowledge of crop patterns with weather forecasts so that farmers can make advanced decisions on when to plough the land, plant and apply fertilisers. this farmer is being advised to spray a fungicide to protect the crops. although these measures can be a big help, poor communities are often unaware of how vulnerable they actually are to extreme weather, or what they can do to lower the risks. another platform being used by the charity is setting out

to assess just this, measuring the strengths and weaknesses of committees like those in this district. using the frmt, or flood resilient management toolkit, representatives from the charity visit the community to look at factors such as what crops are grown, weather patters, what large buildings exist, and the flood prevention measures that were already in place. in all, the technology looks at 88 different indicators to come up with a very holistic picture of how an area can cope with bad weather. it's quite a departure from traditional outlooks, which mostly consider factors such as dams and reservoirs. the thinking behind this technology though, comes from another country altogether, where flooding could also be an issue. 7,500 kilometres away in switzerland, a partnership between ibm and zurich insurance company had looked deeply into what makes a good flood resilient. in the last few decades,

flash flooding has cost switzerland hundreds of millions of pounds. resilience for us is notjust a new buzzword like sustainability or something else. the big challenge of resilience is that you often don't see it until the event has happened. so what we want to have is a set of strong indicators that tell you something about what might resilience look like if something happens and then how can we strengthen those indicators, so it is all about not being derailed and not falling into a poverty trap, despite that there are risks out there. the algorithm measures all the indicators and it generates a numerical value on how resilient population is. so this helps us use what we call engineering judgement, or expertjudgement, to start sorting and organising the data so you can come up with these numerical scores things and i think that is a unique approach that we have. technology has been pivotal, but also kept simple so it can be used off—line.

you need to work with simple devices so you don't have the most expensive hardware either. how easy is it to sell resilience as a concept? i think we need to move away from this, what is my saving if i do this? to much more a point of trying to answer the question, what is the cost of doing nothing? back in bangladesh, for farmers in this area, the cost of floods has been very high. just how vulnerable the area is is being revealed by the researchers. waterlogging hampers people's livelihoods and leads to mass migration. by working together and making proper plans, it is hoped that the technology could help reduce the risks to their livelihoods when floods hit. and now we are popping back to mit in boston. i have come to the media lab containing floors and floors of experiments and research into to touch, taste, sight and sound. this place is full of really creative people, but behind this door are three guys that i try to make us all more creative

by hacking our dreams. robot: you are falling asleep. what's happening here is we're taking these three bio—signals, your heart and your scan and your muscles, and we're looking for this state of sleep in between fully awake and fully asleep. what we're doing is, we are watching, watching, watching, and right as you descend into the next stage of sleep, we introduce a little audio from the robot. and that bit of audio knocks you, so you are not fully asleep. and then we see if whatever word we use will in fact enter the dream. by introducing the subject of your problem into your dream and then listening back to a recording of your so—called hypnogogic mumblings, you mayjust find that you hit on a creative solution. specifically because in that moment you are hyper—associative. your cognition is really loose, it's really flexible. you don't have that same capacity to review and be critical of your thoughts, so you generate really weird, aberrant, divergent thoughts, things that come

to you as dreams but which you can later use as creative insights. you are falling asleep. if, that is, you can bear listening to the weird conversations that you end up having, like this recording of one experiment. you are falling asleep. think of a fork. a fork. tell me, what are you thinking? in tests, the students found that people who used this method could think of more creative uses for objects and they wrote longer stories with more details.

and, you know, something tells me that the sleep glove may have been used to come up with the concept for its own promo video. either that, or this is how adam likes to sleep most nights. that is it for the short part of a backlit for this week. the full version is on iplayer. it can follow us on version is on iplayer. it can follow us on facebook and twitter at bbc kahu lip. and you so much watching. we will see you soon. —— bbc click. hello and welcome to the film review on bbc news.

to take us through this week's cinema releases is james king. so james, what do we have this week? well, for comic book fans, there is evangeline lilly creating a buzz in marvel‘s ant—man and the wasp. for music fans, there is nick 0fferman following his dreams of rock stardom in hearts beat loud. and for gemma arterton fans, there is gemma arterton, just being awesome in the escape. let's start with ant—man. did we need a sequel?
