hello. this is bbc news. we'll be taking a look at tomorrow mornings papers in a moment — first the headlines. the manufacturer of one of britain's most popular weedkillers — roundup — is insisting that it is safe — after a court in the united states awarded hundreds of millions of dollars in damages to a man who says it caused his cancer. the turkish president insists his country is not going bankrupt. the lira hit record lows against the dollar after president trump doubled tariffs on imports of turkish steel and aluminium. an airline employee who stole an empty passenger plane from seattle airport is thought to have died after crashing on a nearby island. and dina asher—smith gets her second gold of the european championships in berlin, winning the women's 200m sprint final, just four days after taking the 100m title. hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be

bringing us tomorrow. with me are the political commentator — jo phillips and the political editor of the sunday mirror and sunday people — nigel nelson. you are both looking great. laughter many of tomorrow's front pages are already in. the observer leads on brexit — the paper has done analysis which it says shows more than 100 constituencies that voted leave would now vote remain. the sunday times front page has the same picture on the front of the observer — of the former foreign secretary borisjohnson, who has been embroiled for the past week in the row over comments he made about the burka — the sunday times says the cabinet is ‘at war‘ over his comments. but the sunday express says that a poll the paper has conducted shows that the majority of the public support mrjohnson over his comments and don't believe he should be reprimanded — as it would threaten the right to free speech. the sunday telegraph reports on a letter written by the us ambassador to the british government

— that says the uk should follow the same tough stance as america when it comes to dealing with iran. the mail on sunday says all was not well in the run up to the royal wedding of prince harry and meghan markle. and the sunday mirror has the story of a ten year old boy who weighs 17 stone — and says he cannot get the treatment he needs to lose weight because of cuts to the nhs. you can tell it is august. there is a bit of that. boris johnson isn't off the front pages and the these brexit. it is interesting when the papers go for it with brexit —— neither is brexit. because there no one around to answer because they are all on holiday. the observer, no surprise, but we have a poll of how the country would vote if there was

a referendum, a second referendum. very interesting poll. is it? it is. it brings together a lot of polls including a couple of more than 15,000 people and combines it with data from the office of national statistics. the poll was commissioned by best for britain which is campaigning against brexit, we should say, and the anti—racist group, hope not hate, so this is quite thorough, and it is probably music to the ease of people who understand data, but in a natcho, in 2016 -- in understand data, but in a natcho, in 2016 —— in a nutshell, in 2016, 613 constituencies were split in favour

of remain but now it is the and 41 remain and 288 leaver and so that is an increase of 200 and deliver their —— increase of 112. there are swings in the north, especially around merseyside, an indicator may be of people wondering if they want to leave. as you mention, it might be music to the use of vince cable although i'm not convinced of a second referendum. even nigel farage said we should have a second referendum to draw a line under it. probably to get more pub estate for nigel farage. —— more publicity. probably to get more pub estate for nigel farage. -- more publicity. do these polls shift the stance of downing street and the labour party? downing street and the labour party? downing street and the labour party? downing street is against a second referendum and they have totally ruled it out, labour are more vague

about this and we are not certain what their viewers. what is interesting about this polling, labour voters seem to have been swinging it, and so levers are becoming —— and so people who voted leave are now becoming in favour of remain. before we even get this far, you have got to have a monumental shift in the country. nothing is really showing that, although this is quite an impressive file. you still don't get the feeling that people would really change their minds —— impressive file. people would really change their minds -- impressive file. it shows that some people are shifting their opinion? yes, public opinion has perhaps, maybe people who voted

leave, i think thought and were misled into thinking it would happen overnight. and be straightforward. i don't think people realised how complex and drawn out it was going to be. neither did the politicians. you don't have to be a rocket scientist. david cameron should have done. if you were going to have a second referendum, what is the question? the shifting comes in the negotiation, and you need to get into a position that whatever deal we have got we leave the door slightly ajar to rejoin as easily as possible because i think within a few years whatever happens this shift will change but it put pressure onjeremy corbyn. shift will change but it put pressure on jeremy corbyn. in what way? to have a position on brexit?

many of these are labour seats and they were labour seats, strong leave votes a nd they were labour seats, strong leave votes and jeremy corbyn has not been clear on where he stands. it is interesting that borisjohnson who we will come onto presently, in his axbridge constituency —— uxbridge constituency, support for remain has risen. and so has the prices in supermarkets. that was a good link! i have that sparkling moment where it all goes again. i will be rubbish again. the sunday times, boris johnson sparks cabinet war is one of the headlines. in supermarkets, bills will be up by 12% if there is no deal. these are the kind of things that might shift public

opinion against brexit. we are talking about, if there is no deal, people will start agitating for some kind of vote. what this is showing according to the sunday times, the four big supermarkets, 12% more on your food basket and that means cheese, 44% up, chicken, 22% up. we have had warnings like this before and it could well happen, yes, if everything is held about dover, the worst—case scenario, planes don't fly and dover is bunged up and the south—east is gridlocked. these things could happen but probably won't. to put this in context, this has come from a briefing to the treasury from the supermarkets, so they are doing their data collection. they do want their prices to increase. of course not.

if dave gets clogged up that is not just annoying for people like me who live in kent —— if dover gets clogged up. but if you look at how much food is imported and how much comes through dover, and because of the weather and the drought, which we happy loving to a degree, the cost of fruit and vegetables will go up. harsh winter and a hard summer, it will put the price of fresh produce up. can you show this cartoon? it is a lovely cartoon. meal deal £10, no deal meal £11. very clever. laughter i like that. and now the boris burqa story, another poll in the daily express, this time in support of boris. sort of. people saying he should not be disciplined, 40% say

he should be disciplined and 53% say i'io. he should be disciplined and 53% say no. that was a bit narrow, really. he had to go under investigation by the tory party because that is the way the system works. chances are he will being is underrated because he won't have committed any crime under the code of conduct —— chances are he will be exonerated. he had a universe to choose from to do his telegraph column but he chooses this and he knew exactly what he was doing. it is part of a leadership bid. the cabinet is split according to the sunday times. over what action should be taken. with this item and have gone on for as long as this had been back in may? dashwood this had been back in may? dashwood this argument have gone on. this had been back in may? dashwood this argument have gone onm this had been back in may? dashwood this argument have gone on. it is the silly season, when we should be

talking about the most serious thing affecting this country which isn't borisjohnson, it affecting this country which isn't boris johnson, it is affecting this country which isn't borisjohnson, it is brexit. the timing, isa borisjohnson, it is brexit. the timing, is a good time to get your pitch out there if you want to have a lead ship it in the autumn and unconvinced this is all about leadership —— if you want to have a leadership —— if you want to have a leadership bid in the autumn. jeremy corbyn is on every front page about anti—semitism and he was beginning to ramble about the tory party and islamophobia, and then borisjohnson cops in article —— drops an article like this, take on the front pages away from jeremy corbyn —— taking. the thing is he might be appealing to the grassroots but then he is also annoying a lot of mps, this is the most peculiar way of doing things. this is boris. he is

churchill and that this is the voice of the british bulldog and that he will be bowed down by political correctness. when you read the polling in the sunday express he still has supporters and he is supported by the public. he has got to get past the tory mps to nominate him before he gets to the point of being able to go to the membership. the other point is right, he's not just a one addition, he's a journalist and he knows this is the silly season —— he's notjust a politician. his article was about why he did not back banning the burqa, that has been forgotten. he gets paid a lot of money to think about every word he writes, so he did not do it without thinking. now the sunday telegraph. goodness knows

what people are spending seven hours a day on their phones doing. this isn't shocking to me, i think we are all on our phones. another survey said we look at our smartphones every 15 minutes or something and i'm one of them. i can't stop looking at the latest e—mails.m i'm one of them. i can't stop looking at the latest e-mails. it is not good view and it is not good for children. there nothing more tragic in the middle of this lovely summer, seeing people, young people, sitting at dinner together, not talking to each other because they are on their phones, what are they doing? i'm guilty as charged. i would say, take up guilty as charged. i would say, take up sailing. you can't be on the mobile phone. laughter i know some people who tried to live without their phones or eight months —— fora without their phones or eight months —— for a month and i found without their phones or eight months —— fora month and ifound it without their phones or eight months —— for a month and i found it very difficult. —— they found it. —— for a month and i found it very difficult. -- they found it. they

used to be days without mobile phones and we coped very well. but all of us remember those days! —— not. laughter that's it for the papers this hour. jo phillips and nigel nelson will be back at 1130pm for another look at the papers. next on bbc news it's click. the sun is shining, the temperature's soaring and the robomows are mowing. the science says we are going to have more and more of this weather in the future and fortunately the uk heatwave

is less punishing than in much of the rest of the world. so we've done the typically british thing of dressing inappropriately and letting our robots get on with the work. they do know this is astroturf, don't they? and stephen beckett has been cooling off the only way that he knows how. welcome to therme erding. nestled in germany's bavarian countryside, this one of the largest thermal baths in europe, the perfect place to relax, have a drink, maybe even do a little pool yoga. oh, and did i mention, there's also 27 waterslides?! there's a water slide, there's another one, that's a water slide too. yes, this is also europe's biggest waterslide park. but with 11,500 people visiting here every day, is 27 slides enough? what if you could change the slides at the flick of a switch? it's time to get my swimming trunks on for some serious journalism.

to go on one of the newest rides in the park, i will need more than my togs and a tube, though, i will need one of these. i'm going backwards! yes! whoa! it was actually amazing. i was a bit sceptical. i think i need a bit of practice, i was going backwards, i was going forward, i didn't feel totally in control. essentially, i went down that slide with my eyes shut. i'm no slide connoisseur but that was a pretty good slide. and because it's a vr slide, how about sliding through the snowy mountains, outer space, or this alien planet? that's four virtual slides all packed into the twists and turns of one real slide. sometimes people, especially

older ones say, i like it more without glasses, because they are overloaded with the system, but the young people, the kids and the young people and families we have here, about 10—29, they like it and they love it and they say it's the best thing they ever did in their life and so now we get about more than 50,000 visitors use the vr. normal landblubbing vr headsets have already got a bit of a rep for being complicated to use so getting the aquatic version to work well every day was a big challenge. yes, it was very difficult, the first thing we have to convince the owner that we want to do it. and we made the first tries, and then the owner of the therme erding tried it and after two tries, he was sick and he said, no, i don't like this, i don't want. because the difficulties, if you go on the slide on the left side, and in virtual reality, you go on the right side, you get this motion sickness. and to see how they

solved that problem, first we need to get rid of some of this water. all along this slide are these sensors and that's so the virtual reality headset knows exactly where you are, at exactly the right time, because you want what you're seeing to be the same as what you're feeling. get it wrong and you could end up feeling a little bit sick. stephen greenwood and his team spent months building and, crucially, testing the system. we did hundreds of tests going down the slide, each one of us has ridden the slide hundreds of times, because we had to make sure that we got it right. just off for a dip. stephen's next plan is to take the vr off the slides and into the wild. so this is a diving mask version of the same thing i tried earlier. there's a phone in there, so you've got a virtual reality headset. you can also dive. the idea with this is that people who need to practise diving, like equipment repairers or even astronauts, can train in one of these,

but i'm just going to go to a shipwreck. when you combine that sensory feeling of being in a different environment, with a completely virtual world over your eyes, it's a powerful combination. i think there is huge potential for military and marine technician training. these prototypes still need some work. for me, the image wasn't perfect and, more importantly, the waterproof phone that is hidden inside only knows where you're looking, not where you're moving. solving that problem is the next big challenge and, in terms of the slide, well, they've got plans for that too. we are considering adding more features, like sound and other sensory elements. i think there is a big therapeutic factor. i think that there is a lot that we can do with physical therapy, meditation, rehabilitation, and some of the psychological benefits that you can have from just floating in water and having a relaxing experience in front of your eyes. it sounds like this could just be

the start of aquatic vr. until then, though, i think the best i can do is just help out with the testing. wow, steve, that seemed like a really tough assignment. it was hard, i went low, it was difficult, i did it for you guys. well done, yes. so you've done a lot of work with vr over the last two or three years and it seems at the moment we are talking more about vr coming to these theme park areas than to the living room. the thing is, headsets are still quite expensive, they are getting cheaper but they are quite expensive and are still difficult to use, so in a themepark environment, it can be controlled and managed and this is the thing, not everyone has a rollercoaster or a waterslide in their home. that's true, yeah. it does seem that adds to the experience, doesn't it? it adds to the senses because vr doesn't do that at the moment. the promise of vr that we see in sci—fi films and all that sort of thing is that vr will totally immerse us, it will fool every single sense of our body, but at the moment vr only fools two senses, oui’ eyes and oui’ ears,

and it doesn't do that particularly well so maybe this is a way, the first step to fooling our other senses, our sense of motion, and our sense of touch. did you enjoy it, stupid question? i did enjoy it. i had reservations about going down down the slide with my eyes closed but once you get over that, it's fun, it's good. well done, take a long deserved break, it was arduous. it's been hard. we've been in the water — time to go for a bike ride now. gone are the days when you could just slap on a cycling helmet, and pootle around the roads and the cycle paths. these days you have to load up with the latest cycling tech. it's the law, and that's what lara lewington has been doing with the help of click‘s own boss, simon. meet simon — a regular cyclist and the editor of click. first off is the coros smart cycle helmet. it connects your mobile phone via bluetooth and, thanks to bone conduction technology, you can hear any sound that you want from your phone — that can be directions or music — without blocking out the sound of the road around you. be safe.

thank you. it can be controlled via a remote or its app, which allows you to save routes and share data with friends. it also has a wind—resistant microphone designed for calls, if you consider chatting on the phone while cycling is a good idea, that is. we had a nice chat on the phone there, the sound was amazing. it was so clear. definitely the best thing i've tried on a bike like that, just in terms of the quality of the call. with this, you've got the added dimension of making sure that the bone conduction things are in exactly the right place. it's quite a feeling. getting jawbone right is always a difficult one and with this, really after a couple of weeks of trying to perfect it, to get the perfect signal, you kind of have to get it so tight

you are almost garrotting yourself. when i'm in the middle of london and there is loads of traffic, it's kind of difficult to hear, i suppose, but i guess some people would say, it's better to hear the traffic than it is the music anyway. this is r—pur, an antipollution mask for cyclists and motorcyclists. the replaceable filters claim to keep pollution, pollen and viruses and bacteria at bay and, based on where you've been cycling, the app will access pollution data and figure out when you need to replace the filter. you looks slightly menacing in that. it's also 30 degrees in london today. it's pretty hot, yeah. it's better than some i have tried, i have to say, in that regard. it's a lot more comfortable than some i've tried before. and it's a slightly nicer design, perhaps. that said, it's very expensive compared to other masks. how about the idea that it connects to an app and aims to track the pollution that you're

going to be encountering? to me, that sounds like a classic bit of tech overdesign. really, i think you can use commonsense a little bit to know when to change filters. finally, we have blinkers which are claimed to be the next generation of bike lights. they can shine a laser light in the street and they also provide the normalfunctions you'd expect from a light but the question is, are they any better? they are all yours to give a go. so the conclusion? you've got the brake light, which lights up as you slow down, presumably because it's got an accelerometer, which is really impressive and, when you're a cyclist, you do worry that people not noticing when you're coming to a halt. left—right indicators — there are so few cyclists who use that as a method of indication. i don't think i've ever seen any, to be honest, and the instructions say, don't rely on this on its own, you've also got to use your arm. i'd worry that i'd have too much stuff to think about, almost.

that would concern me. they are very, very bright lights. there is almost an arms race in cycle lights today — they get righter and brighter — and these are very impressive even in daylight. that's it for the short cut of our summer sizzler for this year. i hope you've enjoyed it and don't forget the full—length version is up on iplayer for you to watch right now, if you fancy. we live on facebook and on twitter. after such an intense summer of sport, next week we are going to look back at some of the new tech that's been brought into play in the last few months. and we will leave you with one more thing which we hope illustrates the perils of filming someone going down a vr waterslide. enjoy this, our cameraman, nick, certainly did. laughter. the weather forecast stays very

changeable and as a general rule of thumb if you have had sunshine today the chances are tomorrow you will see outbreaks of rain and the reverse is true further south and west where it has been cloudy with outbreaks of rain and tomorrow there will be spells of sunshine but also sharp and thundery showers. back to tonight. a band of rain across northern ireland and wales and south—west england into the midlands will work its way north and east, maybe not reaching the far north of scotland, equally east anglia and the south east not seeing much rain overnight

and it will be a mild night. parts of northern ireland and scotland were close to freezing last night. the area of low pressure to the west of the uk, weather fronts working east, it should be out of the way of northern ireland fairly soon in the morning, so brighter skies and mainly dry through the day. the band of rain out of wales and into england and the band of rain slowly working its way north through scotland will stop behind that rain, spells of sunshine but also spells of heavy and maybe thundery showers and quite windy for the western isles of scotland and also south—west england with fairly brisk breezes. elsewhere a gentle to moderate wind. highs, 19—22, but more like 14—16 in scotland where the rain will be slow to clear. something brighter arriving in dumfries and galloway through the evening. watch out for heavy thundery showers working their way east behind the rain across england and wales and we still have the area of low pressure close by as we go

into the new working week. further showers, longer spells of rain, especially for eastern counties of england, and also outbreaks of rain for scotland which will ease through the day. but elsewhere mainly dry. spells of sunshine and feeling warmer again but watch out for sharp showers across the north—east of england and southern parts of scotland into the late afternoon. highs on monday 19—23c in england and wales and northern ireland, but a bit cooler in scotland. scotland and northern ireland will keep the chance of further rain through tuesday and wednesday, drier further south across much of england and wales with spells of sunshine and feeling warmer.

this is bbc news. i'm chris rogers. the headlines at 11:00: the manufacturer of one of britain's most popular weedkillers insists it is safe, after a us court awards huge damages to a man who says it caused his cancer. an airline employee who stole an empty passenger plane from seattle airport is thought to have died after crashing on a nearby island. two men have been arrested on suspicion of murder after 7—year—old joel urhie was killed in a house fire in deptford, south—east london. a bbc investigation finds police overtime spending has reached its highest level since 2013 as the number of officers continues to fall. dina asher—smith gets her second gold of the european championships in berlin, winning the women's 200m sprint final, just four days after taking the 100m title.
