we we re we were wondering action they're? we were wondering whether they would be an meghan markle story to accompany the meghan markle story to accompany the meghan markle picture because she was pictured at this wedding yesterday. apparently they will reunite. again, reading the news over the last few weeks, palace courtiers apparently running around like headless chickens wondering how they are going to manage the situation with thomas who seems to be speaking to sunday newspapers quite a bit. embarrassing relatives. we have all got them. maybe not your dad.” would love to be a flower on the wall. dad, why did you speak to this paper? what did you think you were doing?! and he will be telling the papers his story of his reunion with meghan markle! and there, we must leave it. thank you very much indeed. that is it for the papers tonight. don't forget you can see the front pages of the papers online

on the bbc news website. it's all there for you — 7 days a week at bbc.co.uk/papers, and if you miss the programme any evening, you can watch it later on bbc iplayer. thank you, yasmin and john. that's all from me. next, it's 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 website, combine

that nasa satellite imagery with a wide range of data sets to produce visualisations of environmental and geopolitical events from light pollution the refugee movements, to the effects of coral bleaching on areas such as the great barrier reef. one particular area where modelling such as these can display this starkest impacts is fighting, it can see how important that extreme weather research that we looked at in miami is. raise the global temperature byjust looked at in miami is. raise the global temperature by just 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 under water after monsoon rains, devastating crops and communities. but while technology cannot prevent rainfall on this scale, it can make predictions to

help those in remote communities 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 reins. —— rains. like farmers the world over, in bangladesh, they have to battle the elements. but in their case, severe flooding can be a regular occurrence. given the impact floods

can have, whether information and advice on what farmers should do with their crops is disseminated to communities who phone voice messages, or by call centres that farmers can ring into. and for those who do not have phones or live in remote off—line areas, there are also weatherboards where farmers can come and receive information. —— weather. when floods destroyed this pharma's crops, costing about three months's wages. —— farmer's. these initiatives were set up by the bangladeshi government and its national charity, that helps find sustainable solutions to technology, and now and that app being piloted is taking things even further. it

combines historical knowledge of crop patterns with weather forecast so that then farmers can make advanced to advance decisions about how to manage the land and when to apply fertilisers. this pharma is being advised to spray fungicide to protect his crops. —— farmer. although these measures can bea —— farmer. although these measures can be a big help, poor communities are can be a big help, poor communities a re often can be a big help, poor communities are often unaware of how vulnerable they actually are the 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 communities like those in this district. using the flood resilience management toolkit, representatives from the charity visit different communities to look at factors such as what crops are being grown, weather patterns, what large buildings exist, and the flood prevention measures that are already in place. in all, the technology looks at 88 different indicators to come up with a very realistic picture of how an area can cope with bad weather. it is quite a departure from traditional outlooks, which mostly considered factors such as dams and reservoirs. the thinking behind this technology comes from another country altogether, we flooding can also be an issue. 7500 kilometres away here in switzerland, a partnership between ibm and zurich

insurance company has looked deeply into what makes good flood resilience. 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 do not 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 is something happens? and then how can we strengthen those indicators? so it is all about not falling into a poverty trap, despite that there are risks out there. the algorithm measures all the indicators and develops a numerical indication of how resilient the population is. so this uses what we call engineering judgement or expertjudgement to start sorting in organising the data in, and! start sorting in organising the data in, and i think that is pretty unique. the technology has been

pivotal but also kept simple so it can be used off—line. pivotal but also kept simple so it can be used off-line. you need to work with simple devices, you do not have the most expensive hardware either. how easy is it to sell as a concept? i think we need to move away from this what is my saving if ido away from this what is my saving if i do this? too much more point of trying to answer the question, what is the cost of doing nothing? back in bangladesh, for farmers is the cost of doing nothing? back in bangladesh, forfarmers in this area, the costs of floods has been very high. just how vulnerable there 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're popping back to mit in boston. this place is full of really creative people, but behind this store at three guys who are trying to make us all more creative

by hacking our dreams. you are falling asleep. so what is happening here is we are taking these three signals, your heart, your skin and your muscles, and we are looking for the state of sleep in between fully awake and fully asleep. what we're doing is we're watching, watching, watching and right as you descend into the next stage of sleep, we introduce a bit of 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 entered 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, your so—called hypnogogic mumblings, you might sit on a solution. you do

not want that same capacity to review and be critical of your thoughts, and so you generate really weird, divert thoughts, things which come to his dreams by which you can then 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 had used this method could ink of more creative uses for objects and they wrote longer stories with more drawings. and something tells me that the sleep glove may have been used to come up with the concepts for its own promotional video. with the concepts for its own promotionalvideo. eitherthat, or this is how adam likes to sleep most nights. and that is it for the shortcut of click for this week. the full—length version is waiting for you right now up on iplayer. don't forget you can follow us on facebook and that twitter too. thank you very much for watching and we will see you soon. —— at twitter. hello. sunday continues in much the

same way as saturday. for most, it is dry. more cloud for northern ireland scotland could bring some patchy rain for a time. the further east you are, some bright, sunny spells for northern ireland. we will see the highest temperatures across england and wales, call across scotla nd england and wales, call across scotland and northern ireland. eventually some rain arriving from the north—west to the evening that will slowly sinks southwards overnight, only getting as far as northern england. further south, overnight, only getting as far as northern england. furthersouth, it stays dry, clear skies and patchy fog in places. between 1a and 17 celsius. we start the week with a real north—west, south—east split. gradually pushing their way into the far north of england, tending to fizzle out as we had further south.

this is where we are going to keep the sunshine and once again see the highest temperatures. parts of south—east england and east anglia exceeding 30 celsius again. hello and welcome to bbc news. i'm duncan golestani. our top stories: smiles in singapore, but frank exchanges away from the cameras, as the us and north korea remain at loggerheads over sanctions and nuclear weapons. more than 1000 firefighters tackle blazes in portugal and spain, where temperatures hit 46 degrees and records are broken across europe. dissident chinese artist, ai weiwei says authorities in beijing have buldozed the studio contining a large amount of his award winning work. donald campbell's rebuilt bluebird is back in the water, more than 50 years after the speedboat crashed on a british lake in cumbria.
