explain how bad these floods are this year compared to previous yea rs 7 this year compared to previous years? i was in kerala earlier this week came up to the border on wednesday morning. it was really raining heavily and we were hearing about the problems in kerala. came up about the problems in kerala. came up to the border here and have been helping friends of mine who are on the tamil side to get some relief to the tamil side to get some relief to the district had just over the kerala side. i wasjust the district had just over the kerala side. i was just here on a visit because my great great uncle ills that dam to divert water to tamil. -- ills that dam to divert water to tamil. —— my great uncle built that dam. we have been trying to mobilise

and get food and basic supplies and people have absolutely nothing. the current numbers in the district, about a third of the population are displaced. 0ne about a third of the population are displaced. one of my colleagues was there on tuesday and is going again today. trying to get lorries of food through his difficult because the roads are continuously being broken and having to be mended again. we had 2a hours whether lorries were piled up and they couldn't get through. my colleague who is from the area and is trying to call what an eight this through a charitable trust, he has had calls from people who have in literally trapped under fallen debris et cetera with children and he has been trying to

co—ordinate with the dookie district people trying to get them released. —— has been communication, at least by phone. he has been getting continuous instructions about what they need. —— —— idukki disctrict. i have seen the way the water has been pouring back to the dam on the tamil side and i can't imagine what it is like. we were just looking at pictures just now. you like. we were just looking at picturesjust now. you can like. we were just looking at pictures just now. you can see of the strength of the water. i know the strength of the water. i know the connection to your great, great uncle is significant because dams are there to try to play a part in managing the distribution of water ina region managing the distribution of water in a region like this. i understand

that huge percentage of the dams have been opened. there is nothing you can do and you are almost powerless in the face of weather like this? it does seem that this is the case. bringing people out, it doesn't seem possible because the only way to get out now is in a helicopter and with 120,000 people... that is just one area. you obviously can't rescue them all that way. bringing them out by road is risky. the lorry drivers going in, they are taking risks. we sent a whole three lorries on wednesday night, before people realised how bad this was and it took them all night and they got stuck and luckily they came back before that road collapsed. now, today, ithink another one is opened and people here are very willing to be giving and trying to help and across tamil nadu and the other states, i think

thatis nadu and the other states, i think that is the case. actually getting there, especially to the marooned people in the idukki disctrict, has been very difficult. in that sense, what is most needed there? even that the infrastructure is so badly damaged? is it machinery, helicopters, what can make a difference? i have to say, it is very difficult to a nswer i have to say, it is very difficult to answer that question. i have been asking everyone i have been seeing, because i have been back here partly because i have been back here partly because they need to collect lots and lots of supplies. i had some visits to do to the hospitals here, and have been asking when i met, including the engineering colleges here, which are famous and where my great great uncle worked, i mean, it seems like airand great great uncle worked, i mean, it seems like air and boat and is one road coming through at the moment from that area are very difficult to

manage. so important things are keeping in touch with people, if thatis keeping in touch with people, if that is at all possible. getting food and warm things to them, because it is still raining there are, and it is quite cold up in those mountains. you know, i think in terms of the local government, as well, they have 11 out of 12 districts in similar states. i know more about what is happening around the dam area. i think people... it needs local people knowing how to get through, from minute to minute. soi get through, from minute to minute. so i have been trying to tell people to at least donate to the charitable

trust, but it has onlyjust been set up, and so certainly i can give you those contacts. we will see we can put them out there, and we applaud you for the work that you are doing out there and the support that you are giving to people who desperately need it. thank you very much for your time this morning. appreciated. here is alina with a look at this morning's weather. good morning to you. devastating scenes in india and severe warnings remaining in place across kerala and gujarat. back to our weather, somewhat quieter. a lot of cloud around this weekend, quite humid feel and some rain around as well today. also a heavy spell overnight and into tomorrow. but many will stay largely dry. so here is the bigger picture for the weekend.

across the southern parts of england and wales, close to this area of high pressure, we have this front bringing outbreaks of rain across scotla nd bringing outbreaks of rain across scotland and northern ireland. this is the remnants of what was tropical storm ernesto, and that will increase the humidity overnight. rain through the day across parts of central and southern parts of scotland. northern parts of scotland, sunshine and showers but some strong winds for the northern isles, slowly easing down. northern ireland, a lot of cloud, the odd spot of rain and some brighter breaks, especially the further east are. some stronger winds. breaks, especially the further east are. some strongerwinds. gusts breaks, especially the further east are. some stronger winds. gusts will be higherfor the are. some stronger winds. gusts will be higher for the western are. some stronger winds. gusts will be higherfor the western isles are. some stronger winds. gusts will be higher for the western isles of scotland, western and southern coasts, slowly easing through the day. the cooler feel for the far north of scotland. elsewhere, 21 to 25 celsius, the top temperature. should be mainly dry for the cricket this afternoon. a few breaks in the cloud this afternoon, perhaps the odd spot of rain this morning. gentle odd spot of rain this morning. g e ntle to odd spot of rain this morning. gentle to moderate south—westerly winds. through the evening and overnight we see that band of rain moving its way across northern ireland, into northern england, into central and southern parts of

scotland. and it could become quite heavy at times. to the north of scotla nd heavy at times. to the north of scotland it stays dry, and much of england and wales mainly dry. a lot of cloud and a very muggy night here, 16 or 17 celsius the overnight low. foremost, away from the far north of scotland, as we go through tomorrow, this increasingly humid air flow. this tomorrow, this increasingly humid airflow. this a remnant tomorrow, this increasingly humid air flow. this a remnant of tomorrow, this increasingly humid airflow. this a remnant of ex— tropical storm and ernesto, and that will bring outbreaks of rain across southern parts of scotland, northern ireland, northern parts of england through the morning. gradually easing away. for most, a fairly cloudy day. there will be some brea ks cloudy day. there will be some breaks in the cloud, the best of the sunshine probably in the finals of scotland. we will see temperatures up scotland. we will see temperatures up to 15 or16 scotland. we will see temperatures up to 15 or 16 celsius. still very humid across much of england and wales, 21 to 25 celsius the higher again. as we go into the new working week on ourfront again. as we go into the new working week on our front slowly pull away but they will leave a legacy of cloud across much of the country. monday looks to be a fairly quiet day. there will be some breaks in the cloud but some showery rain, for scotla nd the cloud but some showery rain, for scotland and northern england as

well. further south at stays mainly dry. the best of the sunshine the further east you are an temperatures getting up to about 2k further east you are an temperatures getting up to about 2a or 25 celsius. that doesn't look too bad, thank you very much. we will have all the headlines at 6:30am. but first, it is time for the film review, with jason solomons and jane hill. hello, and a warm welcome to the film review on bbc news. to take us through this week's cinema releases is jason solomons. hi, jason — what have you been watching? hi,jane. well, this week, an uptight ewan mcgregor gets a surprise visit from some familiar furry flying friends. he's with hayley atwell. more to come in disney's christopher robin. there's a love letter from one film—maker to another, as mark cousins addresses his hero orson welles in a documentary called the eyes of orson welles,

which is inspired by finding a treasure trove of orson welles' never—before—seen sketches and drawings. and the boss is back, just in time for the football — denzel washington pops up with the equalizer 2. he is on a vengeful mission, and you don't want to get in his way. i wouldn't argue with him! starting with christopher robin... only a pg, and i am fascinated about whether this is really children's film, for summer? what is this? ijust came from a screening where there were children there with their merchandise, thinking, "great, i am going see a winnie—the—pooh movie — how cute." they're not. ah, they're not. what they will see is very cute. he is famously a bear of little brain, but this is a movie of very big heart. it stars ewan mcgregor as an adult christopher robin, though i stress not the real christopher robin, referring to a film earlier this year called goodbye, christopher robin, about the rather

miserable life that the real christopher robin had. this christopher robin is miserable, working in post—war london for a luggage firm. he has too much work on his plate, can't spend enough time with his wife, hayley atwell, and his child madeline — played by a brilliantly—named child british actress, bronte carmichael — very posh. she's very good, though, as well. he's very stressed out and can't work out what is happening at work, and he gets a visit from a childhood friend, which might make him lighten up for the weekend... oh. what to do, what to do, what to do... what to do indeed. pooh? christopher robin. no! no, no, no... you can't be here. mm. this can't be happening. the stress. it's not stress.

god, i'm stressed. it's pooh. i'm so exhausted. madelaine warned me! i like to be warmed. warmed and cosy. i've cracked! i've totally cracked. i don't see any cracks. a few wrinkles...maybe. is that pooh with an american accent? am i mishearing that? he always has an american accent, pooh, because he's voiced by the famous actor, jim cummings, who always does pooh and tigger as well, you remember tigger — "the wonderful thing about tiggers, their bottoms are made out of springs..."? and he does the song, don't worry. thank goodness. and also eeyore has an american accent, and if you remember that film with mark wahlberg, ted, with the swearing, smoking bear, this is kind of the pg version of that. the characters are there, but as you see they're sort of furry characters, and it's about handing things on to the next generation. and here we see madeline having a tea party on the train with the characters, as they try to come to london to try to make her father have a nice time, to remember the childish things he'd put away

when he was so very young. it's that kind of lesson. we get that in disney movies, in films like elf, where the father has to remember what it was like to be young. but we want this to be as good as paddington, that's the trouble, which is brilliant. yes, there's a sort of influx of furriness going on on the streets of london right now. this isn't paddington. a lot of nods to paddington, and even a part for some of the people who were in paddington — some voices cast, the voice of peter capaldi as rabbit here. it's very strange. i actually thought it was rather sweet, and it kind of worked, but it is a very odd concoction, and i also have no idea whom it's for, because it isn't really for kids — it is for grown—up kids who can't put away childish things, which actually strikes me very much as disney's core audience right now because they are the ones doing superheroes and star wars. it's for that age group as well, trying to remember what it was like to be young. ok, so it sounds like

a curious mixture. curiouser and curiouser. said alice. and you're bringing a documentary as your second choice? yes, mixing things up. this one is certainly for film fans. citizen kane was voted the number one film six decades in a row, the best film ever made. orson welles is often cited as the best film—maker ever. certainly in terms of images. well, mark cousins, a well—known film historian, who worked at the bbc, he discovered a treasure trove of orson welles' sketches and he got them out and realised what we see in the sketches often translated into his films, such as touch of evil, which we are seeing here, which starred a great orson welles performance. a beautiful love letter to cinema. it is also very pretentious, which is what you want from mark cousins — i wouldn't want it any other way! very esoteric, but you also learn a whole lot about what cinema can do, how it connects to the world, the shapes and motifs it can trigger. a real cineast‘s trove, as opening up that trove must have been for mark cousins, and finding clues to orson welles,

what he calls his visual thinking. we often say that the eyes are the keys to the soul, but here they're sort of saying the paintings are the keys to orson welles' visual soul. he famously never finished films, orson welles, always arguing with the studios about money. what would he have made now of the internet and the free technology we have? he might have ended up finishing films. it is fascinating and absolutely beautiful and i loved every second, but again it is not for everyone. all right. is this for everyone, the equalizer 2? do you remember the first one? it is well documented i'm not good with violence so thinking this is not really my territory! denzel, however, is an expert. i love denzel washington... well, i love him, but... i'd pay to see him read out the phone book, to be honest with you. yes. the first one, i remember very little about it except that he worked in the american equivalent of b&q. so he now has a job driving the american equivalent of uber, in boston, ferrying people around, but he also kind of rights wrongs — he is indeed the equalizer.

but he perceives the moral rectitude of what he's doing. here he is, taking some revenge and wrath out on some arrogant bankers who have mistreated one of his clients... how you doing? i'm the, ah, lyft driver that you called to take home your girlfriend. not a girlfriend, man. oh. credit card wasn't valid. come in. there you go. mm. pay yourself whatever, and give yourself a nice tip. thank you. you're not going to ask me if she got home 0k? this is the point where usually i'd give you a chance to do the right thing — but not tonight. tonight i'm going to need your cameras, cellphones, anything you might have used to record what you did to her. the central plot is to do with his cia...

of course he is a former cia assassin working as a taxi driver. he comes out of retirement to help her and track down why she has been killed, and it goes right to the top, one of those conspiracies, except it doesn't and ends up in a hurricane — there she is, melissa leo, she gets killed, and of course, who killed her? it ends up on the coast, for no reason at all. that said, it has denzel washington been really cool all the way through, so i sort of like that, a film about denzel washington. not his best, but still denzel. best out, you have chosen a film which, jason, made me feel about 95! laughter. me too, i have to say. this has been out a week and it came out on tuesday, unusually, because it is an unusual film. a little indie british comedy from the makers of the inbetweeners. the director, iain morris, and joe thomas is the star. and i think you could call it in—tense. see what i did there? reminded me why i would never want to camp at a festival. much as i love music, there is a line. yes, it's very messy, very funny, though, if you are of the right age group, which sometimes, guilty, iam. i was not, but all of

the 19—year—old men i went to the screening with were loving it. that is enough. and very nicely acted — choosing the positives. and dvd... if you're not going out to a tent or a festival, dvd, emily blunt, in a quiet place. post—apocalyptic film where if you make a sound the aliens who have invaded will come for you, so you have to be quiet and not say a word and get through it. her and her family sort of get through it. will they, won't they? she is also pregnant, giving birth, not something you want to do when there are aliens around . everybody i know who has seen it said it was absolutely gripping. again i'm a bit of a kick—in. yes, you can just about survive it — just don't scream. you have been warned! thank you very much. lovely to see you, jason, and that is it for this week. whatever you choose to watch, whatever you are brave enough for, have a good week.

enjoy your cinema going. goodbye. hello, this is breakfast with charlie stayt and rachel burden. good morning. here's a summary of today's main stories from bbc news. 171 people have died in the last 10 days in southern india after the worst monsoon floods in 100 years. the south western state of kerala has been most severely hit. tens of thousands of people are stranded after fleeing their homes for higher ground and the military has been deployed to assist with rescue operations. the lorry drivers are taking big risks. it took them all night. it is before we realise how bad this was.

they got stuck. luckily they got back before that road collapsed. now, today, ithink back before that road collapsed. now, today, i think another one is opened and people here are very willing to be giving and try to help across tamil nadu and the other states. i think that is the case. retailers selling single—use water bottles, takeaway boxes and coffee cups face a new tax on plastics expected to be announced in the next budget. it comes after a record 162,000 responses to a government consultation on how to reduce waste and boost recycling. the levy is likely to be applied to businesses to encourage them to switch to more environmentally friendly materials. italy's head of state, sergio mattarella will lead mourners during a state funeral later for 18 of the victims of the genoa bridge disaster. at least 38 people were killed when the motorway bridge collapsed on tuesday with five still missing. many of the grieving families have refused the offer of a state funeral in protest as they blame the authorities for the disaster. rail passengers are facing major disruption today

warned by marilyn monroe in the seven year itch is on display. now to the sport. the gentleman behind you making a bit of a reappearance for the first time in a while but it is still four days since ben stokes was found not guilty of affray. he is back. he will be back playing for england later against india in that test. a lot of people speculating about it. we knew he would be back in the squad but it wouldn't be at conclusion that he would be back in the team but it will be a test. literally. the pressure now will be on ben stokes to deliver as england take on india in the third test at trent bridge — where victory would see

them win the series 3—0. the durham all—rounder missed the second test match because of his trial but his return means sam curran has been dropped. that wasn't an easy decision for captainjoe root though who said it was the most difficult since becoming captain. had two days practice to gauge it. in terms of fitness. making sure he was physically right to play. satin down last night, just me and him, asked him quite brutally and honestly, are you in the right place to play for england? —— sat him down. he assured me he would at some of the ready to go to perform at his best. from that perspective, i have no worries or doubts that he won't be able to go and deliverjust like he has done on so many times for england. as the premier league gets into full swing, you'd be forgiven for thinking manchester united was a team in turmoil, if you've looked at the papers in recent weeks. it had been reported that midfielder paul pogba and his managerjose mourinho have had a massive fall—out but mourinho says their relationship couldn't be more positive.

we are together for two years and a couple of weeks. i have never been so happy with him as i am now. that is the truth. i cannot demand more from him. i cannot ask more from him. england's women have reached the under—20 world cup semi—finals for the first time, by beating the netherlands 2—1 in france. england went a goal down but a great run and finish from manchester city striker georgia stanway brought them level. and thanks to some real persistence, she scored the winner too. england will face japan next. gloucester rugby have been sticking by their fly—half danny cipriani after his conviction for assault this week and now they say they are "surprised and extremely disappointed" that he's been summoned to an rfu

you know what i mean? when two fighters were divided china, it will happen. we talked to each other and we just happen. we talked to each other and wejust did. i told him to get with his people. he told me to get with mine. just like that. when two parties want to fight, they are going to fight. carl frampton is top of the bill in belfast — he takes on luke jackson for the wbo featherweight title — all the action will be live on bbc radio 5live tonight. great britain's alice tai has won her second gold medal in as many days at the european para swimming championships in dublin. she won the s8 100m freestyle, to add to the backstroke title she picked up yesterday. britain's medal target for the championships was 30—40, and they've already won 35 with two more days of competition to come. and ellie simmonds now has two silvers to her name, in an event she didn't really expect to be at. she came close to quitting after losing her love for the sport in the build—up to the last paralympics but she's now hoping to make the next, in tokyo 2020. there is a lot to come back but to

think after rio i was going to return and represent my country at a european games, like, i can't imagine anything better. the whole tea m imagine anything better. the whole team at it is good. i'm looking forward to having some cheesecake and oppressed echo! that's what i'm excited for. —— and a prosecco. there hasn't been much time off for dina asher—smith. a week after taking three gold medals home from the european athletics championships. she goes again at the diamond league event in birmingham this weekend. one of those golds came in the 200—metres in berlin, which she's opted to run in birmingham — and though she may be exhausted, she's always ready to perform. i'm very tired. i did three events, iam very i'm very tired. i did three events, i am very tired. at the same time, i

ama i am very tired. at the same time, i am a competitor. my family, my physios, everybodyjokes with me, evenif physios, everybodyjokes with me, even if i am drained, even if i have one leg, i am just like, come on, let's go. —— just one lake. —— leg. and the birmingham grand prix is live on bbc one from 1.15. and just before we go, the nordia masters in sweden is a pretty run—of—the—mill european tour golf event you'd think. but andrew "beef" johnston is no run—of—the—mill character or golfer! when he had to hit out of a muddy ditch, his trousers ended up a bit worse for wear. no problem — off they came! the crowd loved it, of course — on went the waterproofs. he posted the video on twitter with the caption brief delay on the course. what i am more concerned about is

the guy at the front with the camera phone. a little bit close for comfort. a bit of a whole costume change. wheelchair rugby league can be fast, furious and at times brutal but the sport is experiencing a rise in popularity. the challenge cup finals take place later today and mike has been finding out what it's all about at a training session with the leeds rhinos. if you think that rugby league is tough, look at the wheelchair version. the thrills, spills, dives. this is the sport invented by the french to reinvent rugby league. the chest pain into each other and

people banging. it gets competitive. it is pretty hard—core, pretty gnarly. you are always moving and knock—on is our big thing. gnarly. you are always moving and knock-on is our big thing. it has been life changing for former soldierjames who lost both legs in an explosion in afghanistan. soldierjames who lost both legs in an explosion in afghanistanm soldierjames who lost both legs in an explosion in afghanistan. it has made a big impact on my life and recovery and got me more comfortable with myself. i am in a wheelchair in front of people. it has had an impact in me that way but i have trained as well. at least two players on each team can be able bodied likejosh. players on each team can be able bodied like josh. anybody can play. there is no advantage over anybody else. it is your skill compared to those. it turns it all on the head because the person in the wheelchair all the time is probably the more able because they have more skills ina able because they have more skills in a wheelchair and a person that doesn't have a chair. it is very

different to the wheelchair game of by. different to the wheelchair game of rugby. dave the cameraman got it between the posts. a drop on the floor, straight over. dutiful. it is a lot harder than it looks, as you can see. the first challenge is the learning to catch and carry the ball while pushing yourself along. it is only when you enter into a proper game that you really appreciate how physical this can be. apart from smashing into your opponent, the game is by removing the tax on that arms and that is the tackle. but the longer you hold onto the ball, the

bigger the metal battering you can get. i bash into people quite hard. it is the speed as well. anybody is invited to attend a try out session. it is set to grow with england hosting the wheelchair rugby world cup in 2022. it is incredibly fast and skilful, whichever form it is. here is alina with a look at this morning's weather. it isa it is a beautiful sunrise. isn't it just? it has just happened it is a beautiful sunrise. isn't it just? it hasjust happened in it is a beautiful sunrise. isn't it just? it has just happened in the last few hours, and there is some sunshine around today. generally there will be a lot of cloud, and we have also got a little bit of rain, chiefly for scotland, the far north of england and into northern ireland as well. really through this weekend it will be feeling increasingly

humid, and there will be more rain around as we go into tomorrow, especially overnight, where it could be quite heavy. here is the bigger picture for the weekend. this front is still bringing outbreaks of rain across northern ireland, scotland, the far north of england. this system is the remnants of ex— tropical storm ernesto, picking up the rain overnight. central and eastern parts of england, the far north and east of scotland will have a zone of cloud bringing outbreaks of rain, maybe just getting into the far north of england and northern ireland. a windy day, especially this morning. gales for a time across western isles of scotland. strong gusts for western and southern coasts, and temperature—wise, 2a or 25 celsius at the highest across east and south—east england. more like 15 or 16 for the far north of scotland, where it will be a mixture of sunshine and showers. can't rule out the odd spot of rain at the cricket in trent bridge, in nottingham. a few sunny spells this afternoon and

the temperature up to 232lidc. through the evening that rain starting to pep up as it moves its way across northern ireland, into central parts of wales. further south, the dry, muggy and humid night. it will stay mainly dry in scotland, with some clear spells. the rain in this main zone, stretching into northern ireland, central parts of scotland, down into northern england. gradually fizzling out through the day and foremost it isa out through the day and foremost it is a fairly cloudy day. some bright or sunny is a fairly cloudy day. some bright or sunny spells, the best of these we re or sunny spells, the best of these were the far north and the far east of scotland. the cooler feel here, 15 or 16 celsius, compared with 2a or 25 across parts of england and wales. we maintain that humid feel, as we go into monday. the front slowly clearing their weight eastwards but leaving a legacy of cloud, starting to generate more showers for the western isles of scotla nd showers for the western isles of scotland down in the north—west england and northern ireland, maybe the fire north of wales, but elsewhere on monday a fairly dry day. sunshine across parts of

england and wales to start the week, but still feeling very warm and humid for many of us. temperatures on monday could get up to 25 or 26 celsius. thank you very much, see you later on. we will have all the headlines at 7:00am. but first it is time for click, with spencer kelly. this week, it's a look back at click‘s summer of sport. we will start with our trip to f1 from july, which has been at the cutting edge of technology and design since its creation in 19116. welcome to the pit. every year, teams compete fiercely to outdo each other in aerodynamics,

data communications and materials, all with one aim — to make their cars go really, really fast. and they do a really good job of making them that, as we are finding out here at the austrian grand prix. lewis hamilton's ride. what's even more impressive is that this whole show is permanently on the road, with car, teams, engineers and scientists moving from country to country and track to track. now, these are the most expensive motorhomes i've ever seen. each one of these is a lorry, and theyjust drive them to the next formula 1, stick them together, zip, zip, zip, and that's ferrari's office for the length of the race. mercedes are the current world champions, and like every other team here, they spend millions on their car and developing the technology that will hopefully win them the race. but what you see at any grand prix

is just the tip of the iceberg. it takes hundreds of people to develop that technology. so we sent lara lewington to mercedes hq to find out what really goes into winning a race. away from the track, the people, the preparation, the planning, and the precision are pivotal. hi, i'm lara lewington from the bbc. hello. can ijust put security stickers on your phone? of course, no problem. so we're allowed to film here but i mustn't take any pictures on my phone! there's clearly a lot at stake here, so it's no surprise that formula 1 is notoriously secretive. but today, we've got some behind—the—scenes access. this business is big bucks and millimetres and milliseconds matter.

this is last year's winning car. in fact, it hasn't even been cleaned since its last race in abu dhabi. but the thing that is most striking standing here next to it is the amount of detail there is everywhere throughout the car and, after each race, if there's something they're not happy with, it can be perfected. well, this was a winning car last year so clearly it's been very successful, but you're obviously not happy with it because you're working on a new one. so what do you think needs to be improved? we're never happy with it, as you say. this is lewis's car from last year. it was the first car we made on the back of a really big regulation change. we worked really hard on all those little small bits you see around the car, which are all the aerodynamic bits and pieces. it seems to be made up of lots of little small bits. yeah, every little bit has a job and when we put it into the wind tunnel, each one is about optimising the airflow around the car. but we are not happy with it here because we focused so much on that, we now need to do a lot

on the packaging internally to make it much tighter. the tighter you get it, again, the better you can get the aerodynamics around the car. the operation here goes way beyond the car itself, though. this lot are busy practising at speed. over 250 of these trials take place ahead of the season. they make it look easy, but inevitably it's not, as i can tell you first hand. whoa! oh no! so loud and it's meant to be so quick, but i clearly wasn't. meanwhile, spencer's already living life in the fast lane. thank you, lara. and by the way, this is how you really do it. laughs this year, mercedes has got its pit stop down to an incredible 1.85 seconds.

now that's quicker than it takes to say 1.85 seconds. it's a finely—tuned operation that the engineers practice over and over in the days before each race. it's a bit of a ballet and the ergonomics is quite important because it's 20—odd people around the car, trying to do a job in two seconds. and it's — if you start banging into people, then you're losing half a second, a second, and then the strategists can't get their numbers right and then you don't get the position you need. the human element to this ultrafast manoeuvre is accompanied by technology, individually developed by each team. even the hydraulically—powered wheel guns are a closely guarded secret. and i hear they're quite expensive. they are expensive and they have a life because they're under an awful lot of pressure, so we are changing the internals a great deal.

do i hear about £30,000 each? i wouldn't know the exact cost, but that sounds quite low to me. right, we're going into mercedes' garage now. keeping the pit crew safe is of utmost importance. these lights, for example, let the crew know if the cars have become electrified, stopping them from getting more than a nasty shock. and then there's what goes into the cars, or more specifically, what comes out of the cars, which is monitored by trackside labs and high—end scientific equipment. between every session, the cars are given the equivalent of a blood test. the oil and the fuel is taken to see if it's contaminated, and that might give you a clue as to the state of the engine, and that is done in the fuel lab. the oil is put into a spectrometer, which tests for different metals in the fluid. the amount of a specific metal present can reveal if a particular part of the engine is degrading too quickly.

at this year's world cup finals in russia, data played a bigger role than ever. before the tournament, paul carter went to fifa to find out how. like it or not, data is an integral part of football. you cannot watch a game without being bombarded by all kinds of statistics. for the first time, fifa are providing an all—in—one technical package, allowing coaching staff and analysts to communicate throughout matches in real—time. the snappily—titled electronic performance and tracking system — or epts — will provide data on player metrics such as distances run, speed and positional information. crucially, each of the 32 countries competing in the tournament will be provided with two tablets.

one for a data analyst in the stands, who will be able to communicate with a second device user on bench — possibly a coach or an assistant manager. we are using an optimal tracking system so we have optical tracking cameras in all of the stadiums. we know where the players and the ball are at any time of the match. we have different metrics available to the analysts and is up to them to decide how to use it. with resources available for technology differing between countries, fifa hopes this technology will bridge the data divide, bringing the digital haves closer to the digital have—nots. a lot of the teams already use data. we expect a lot of teams coming to russia to bring their own set—up. but we want to use, at least offer the same to all of the teams. in fifa's system, the team's data analysts will have access to a tactical app enabling them to add drawings over a live video feed. stills can then be

sent to the dugout. with goal—line technology, video assistant referees and now epts, this year's world cup looks set to be the most technologically advanced ever. but with all this technology, how big is the risk that we lose the real spirit of the game? the role of the data analyst is simply to support those coaching decisions. i think there are some key insights which can be found in the data, but football will always be those 22 players on the pitch and the coach is always going to be the person who makes the decisions. at the end, what technology is really there only to support. at the end, that is — i am a big football fan and you are a big football fan, it is about the 22 players plus the referee, they are the main actors, 90 minutes. maybe a penalty shootout, germany— england, maybe. that's the excitement. i think technology can only

add additional help, optimise processes and optimise ways of providing additional information. that is what technology is about. in the run—up to wimbledon, ifound myself in boston with a little robot ball collector. the tennibot autonomously patrols the court and collects the balls that you've lobbed, smashed, or in my case, mis—hit. for any ballboys or ballgirls out there who are worried about their jobs, don't worry, this isn't designed to replace you at tournaments. this is more for people who want to practise and are not very good and end up with a lot of balls in the net. so you can carry on practising and the tennibot willjust go around picking up the balls while you are busy being rubbish. its on—board camera spots the balls and its partner at the net helps

to keep track of things as well. it's also has a handy detachable basket so you can easily return your balls, if you have to. then you can retire to your air—conditioned car, ball—collecting bucket on wheels in tow, and nobody ever will suspect that you're the laziest tennis player alive. and that's it for this week. next week we have another chance to see our sustainability special from earlier in the year, where we will be talking gravity trains, hurricanes and coral reefs. in the meantime you can follow us on facebook and twitter. from tennibot and me, see you soon. good morning.
