these are the average windy. these are the average speeds but the costs will be even higher particularly on the western and southern coast. given the strength of the wind and rain, a cool feeling day, 12 or 13, 14—19 four northern ireland and england and wales. the rain clears eastwards overnight. enter monday, for most of us a bank holiday, it should be mainly dry, a few showers feeding up with the north—westerly wind, wind starting to ease down through the day. spills of sunshine and in the sunshine feeling a bit warmer, highs of 18-22. 14 15 feeling a bit warmer, highs of 18-22. 1415 in the north feeling a bit warmer, highs of 18—22. 1415 in the north of scotland. most voices but i with stelzer sunshine and showers in western and northern scotland but many places dry on thursday. hello there. this is bbc news. in a moment, me and my guests will be taking a look at tomorrow morning's

papers. first, a quick look at those headlines. pope francis is an island for the first papal visit in almost 40 yea rs. first papal visit in almost 40 years. he has been addressing a crowd of almost 80,000 at croke park tonight. —— in ireland. earlier, he spoke an hour and —— in ireland. earlier, he spoke an hourand a —— in ireland. earlier, he spoke an hour and a half with eight people who have suffered institutional abuse by irish clergy. holiday—makers arrive home after being flown back early from an egyptian hotel following the deaths ofa egyptian hotel following the deaths of a british couple. and women in england are being allowed to take the second of two early abortion pills in their own homes instead of in a clinic. hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing this tomorrow. whitley, the broadcaster and journalist penny

smith and rosamond irwin, financial services correspondent at the sunday times. lovely to have you both here. we will have a quick look at those front pages, and start off with the 0bserver, which leads with claims from the former european council president herman van rompuy that a no—deal brexit risks the break—up of the uk. brexit also featured on the front page of the telegraph. the paper says theresa may has ordered government officials to create a space satellite navigation system to rival the eu's galileo project. the paper also has a picture of pope francis, who is in dublin at the moment of the first papal visit to ireland and most 40 years. —— in almost 40 years. the sunday times and so the number of officers on the beat has fallen by a third in just three years, despite a rise in violent crime. and the porn star stormy daniels graces the front pages of the sunday mirror and vows

to testify in front of congress over claims that president trump paid to cover up an claims that president trump paid to cover up an alleged affair between them. and the mail on sunday leads on its own investigation, which says 3.6 million so—called ghost patients are registered with gp surgeries. so are registered with gp surgeries. so a variety of stories they're making the front pages. penny and rosamond, we will start with the times, and the story that bobbies on the beat up the story that bobbies on the beat up being slashed by a third. —— are being slashed. yes, so a sunday times investigation found that more than 7000 traditional neighbourhood police officers, the ones protecting communities on the beat, have been reassigned to other duties since... well, in the past three or four years. three and a bit years. and actually, as well, the number of police support officers has fallen by 18%. and it has picked out a

numberof by 18%. and it has picked out a number of really interesting cases. the duke of westminster's grosvenor estate is in talks to provide funding for what would become britain's largest private police force, and so i think one of the side—effects of this is likely to be that we see different kinds of policing, depending on how well the utah. that will not be popular. —— oi'i utah. that will not be popular. —— on how well the you are. it is already happening, isn't it? you have places you can go where people are walking around and hi viz vests with security risen on the back. they say in one place in somerset, they have hired a security firm to patrol late at night because of a lack of a local police officer. but when you look at sussex, with the fewest bobbies on the deeper head of population, 8.3 neighbourhood officers, 100,000 people. it says that they have reassigned to back rooms. essentially they are working on back room, but we know that it crime is also huge. so we need to

get them some weight. but the problem is, of course, we are in this austerity at the moment. we need the money for somewhere else. everybody‘s. .. need the money for somewhere else. everybody's. .. the paper does quote the chief constable of leicestershire, simon cole, who tries to explain it by saying that there is so much of the crime going on, new crime, i should say, things like cybercrime, that they are having to choose very carefully where they assign their funds, because they need support. but nevertheless, i think we would all ee, nevertheless, i think we would all agree, or anybody who just walks around an area... that feel slightly dodgy, if you had if you police officers around, you would definitely feel less scared. yes, and of course, the backdrop to this is certainly in london and elsewhere in the country, we are seeing a large increase in violent crime. they mentioned the stat that came out this week that violent deaths in london this year have reached 100, which obviously is significantly increased. before we go to our next

story, what shocked me about this is the figure that vigilantes now carry out three stings and suspected paedophiles every day. that is more than 100 a week. yes, people are now starting to take matters into their own hands, aren't they? let's move to the bat 0bserver, own hands, aren't they? let's move to the bat observer, and children's tsar to the bat observer, and children's tsa r calls to the bat observer, and children's tsar calls for an end to battery hen life in holidays. i had to examine how i managed my children's school holidays as i read this. did you? i think this is a wake—up call, because we are in danger of having children that pass exams incredibly well, but who are burnt out. i don't know about you, but i had endless summer know about you, but i had endless summer holidays, and i did a lot of running about with my friends... but you are outdoors. we were outdoors, but we definitely did not have as much homework. we had homework once

ina blue much homework. we had homework once in a blue moon. but now, a friend of mine's trial spent all last summer, she came to stay with us, every single day, probably about eight hours a day swotting for a—levels. goodness! yes, but that is what they do. we said you must come out one day, and she rather regretfully put all her books away and came out, but you could see she was not co mforta ble. you could see she was not comfortable. and quickly, how will they pay for this? they are saying they pay for this? they are saying they need to pay new facilities. yes, it is a bit heartbreaking. they say they need radical measures to restore the importance of play, and you would think that would not be needed. there will be a cost to this, and it will come from the sugar tax. sunday telegraph, me orders and space race with eu after brexit. where is the money coming from for this? how will we pay for this? it will be ring fenced, won't it? yes, there will be a £3 billion fund announced last year's budget to help prepare for brexit, and it is

theoretically coming out of that, though one imagines that money will be quite squeeze with all the rest we have to pay for! and of course, this is for the galileo satellite navigation replacement, because we're not going to have access to the you's one as we would now. even though we have put in so much money, and our expertise has been actually pivotal in all this. in fact, they are saying that british companies have been central to its design and build. it becomes fully operational, allegedly, in 2020, although there was a report earlier this year where they said, actually, without britain, it would be delayed by three years and cost eu extra 1 billion euros. there was a story la st billion euros. there was a story last week that our police and armed forces might get access to the encrypted signal from it. we shall see 01"! encrypted signal from it. we shall see on that, but i think that might be one thing where they might give, actually. i think when you read the line about military access to this, and how they have to match the

american standard... at the moment. yes, at the moment. you can see how people get the jitters reading this, thinking, oh, goodness, we need access to satellites like this. but eventually says britain has already spent £1.2 billion. we should say that this is for global positioning and accurate global positioning and navigation, and timing and all that sort of stuff. let's go back to the sunday times quickly. why did this grab your attention, cycle helmets? because both of us are fans of not making it any more difficult to go cycling, and if you want, for example, there are many cycling schemes in cities around britain, and if you have to carry a helmet on the off chance that you may be using one of those things, i think probably nobody will use them. oh, is this where you hire a bike? exactly. if you are constantly having to take a helmet with you just in case you might use one, because i don't know about you, but

i quite randomly use them.|j because i don't know about you, but i quite randomly use them. i have never used one. that i cycle all time, and! never used one. that i cycle all time, and i would point out in this glorious cycling have another amsterdam no one day helmet. what we should be pushing for is to make cycling safer, and it is not a force of the body to have a helmet, it is to get more people cycling, and there is safety in numbers. so you are saying that you cycle a lot? do you wear a helmet? i do when i cycle in london, but i don't think it should be mandatory. ithink in london, but i don't think it should be mandatory. i think that what so many people. yes, we did not mention, actually, it is geraint thomas, tour de france champion, saying we should wear helmets. but not making cycling scary is the point, and beasley, it doesn't protect you in all instances. clearly, i think it is sensible to wear one you can, but i think we should be encouraging and normalising cycling, and they think enforcing helmets doesn't do that. let's turn to the express. it is

ppi, still dying on! —— still going on! so, lloyds bank, earlier this month, had to put aside another £500 million, and i looked at how much had been spent at the time, set aside for ppi, and it was around 32 billion, but now, we will find there is even more billion, but now, we will find there is even more money, billion, but now, we will find there is even more money, because you billion, but now, we will find there is even more money, because you can claim it for people who have died or relatives who have died. what do you mean? so, apparently this has always been the case. if somebody has died and you are the executor, whether they actually it? if you are a will and you are named as a personal representative, then you can claim ppi for your relative. apparently, the average ppi payment is around £2750, and it is the biggest financial scandal, it in, the most expensive. does this mean we get even more phone calls now? wretched phone calls! i know, which is why we

just did this... no! imagine having to go through all that again having lost a relative. there is a theory that it lost a relative. there is a theory thatitis lost a relative. there is a theory that it is basically propping up consumer spending, genuinely, because the pay—outs are so huge. so another £3000... 0f because the pay—outs are so huge. so another £3000... of course, there is another £3000... of course, there is an industry that has been built around ppi, employing about 30,000 people, and what will they do when this tries? well, my theory is that they will all move on to doing gdp are claims, whether in abuses of that. what? gdpr, the data. 0h are claims, whether in abuses of that. what? gdpr, the data. oh yes, the data. there will still be something. yes, and we will still be phoned up about the crash we may or may not have had. very quickly, we have been watching the pope in ireland? yes. well, no. i havejust caught sight of it. what did you think? i am catholic, so i should probably declare that, and he has,

of course, been to ireland before, but not as pope, and he has not had quite the reception that i think john paul did. yes, 1979? well, thank you very much. we have got another review, and we will be back just after 11:30 p:m.. another review, and we will be back just after11:30 p:m.. , it is click. florida, america's sunshine state, and home to the us's first sustainable town. this is babcock ranch. powered, befittingly, almost entirely by that big burning ball in the sky. it's 33 degrees. the humidity is, i believe, about 1,000,000%. and i've come to a solar field, so you don't have to. 343,000 solar panels span some 440 acres, providing 75 megawatts of electricity.

and that's enough to power 15,000 homes. one of the big problems with solar energy has always been when the clouds come over or especially when it gets dark, the whole thing effectively goes dead. and we haven't really had a way of storing solar energy until very recently. but over there, ten buildings full of batteries. so it's a start. a pretty good one, too. babcock has the largest combined solar and storage facility in the us. the batteries can store 40 megawatt hours of electricity, which is enough to keep around 2,000 average us homes alight for four hours. of course, lithium batteries are just one way of storing energy to use later, and we've seen other methods before. there's electric mountain in wales, which holds water at a top reservoir until power is needed, it then releases it back down to a lake below.

switzerland's air cave fills itself with compressed air and then blows it out to turn turbines. well, now, over in california, kate russell is on track to see a new solution. since the oil crisis of the 1970s, california has invested heavily into wind and solar power, with the latest state legislation calling for 50% renewable energy by 2030, and all new homes must have solar within two years. the state is way ahead of its target, so much so that they've had to start paying neighbouring states to take some of the energy from them. as we've heard before, the problem is storage. the grid was built to handle fossil fuel—generated power and storage solutions like hydroelectric dams are in short supply. batteries too are very bad for the environment, turning unused renewable energy into not such a green solution.

california—based company aries have come up with one alternative. aries was really an attempt to think of a way to use the inexhaustible, always reliable power of gravity. right? we know gravity is going to be there for us. we don't have to worry about shortages or any of that. so how do we use gravity to store and then discharge power when we need it? one of the most efficient ways to move mass known to man, which people have spent billions of dollars to perfect, are railroads. right? 150 years of experience, incredibly efficient, steel wheels on steel rails are one of the most efficient ways to move mass. dubbed ‘the gravity train', energy is stored using electricity to push its weight uphill. when you want to take the energy out, you let gravity pull the train back down, using the friction of braking to slow the train in order to make power. it's the same way hybrid electric

cars like the prius work. you see those wind turbines there behind me, they're completely still, even though there is clearly plenty of wind right now. it's not because they're broken, it's because there's no more room to store the energy they would create. and that's a problem the gravity train will solve. when you're into excess energy production, use it to power the train up a hill, and when you want the energy back, you just send the train back down again. this demo train carries almost five tonnes uphill, storing energy as it goes. a full—scale installation will return 80% of the stored energy, which is not quite as efficient as a huge dam, but has a lot less impact. the amount of energy we store is the weight of the train times the height of the hill. simple mathematics. so the more weight and the higher the hill, the more energy we can store.

we need long, gently sloping plains. but we had clients who approached us and said, "well, i only have steep, " rocky, craggy mountains, " so we've developed a new variation on the aries technology at almost vertical. in october, the company breaks ground on the first full—scale aries in the state of nevada. it'll be used to fine tune the inconsistent energy flows that are a natural part of using solar and wind power. minute by minute, it will trim the imbalance between load and generation on the grid, so our trains may need to go uphill for a minute, they may need to go downhill for five minutes, they're constantly acting like a large flywheel, that allows the grid to stay at exactly 60 hertz. it's early days yet and the concept has still to be proved in nevada, but it could help solve one of the renewable industry's biggest conundrums right now, balancing the ebb and flow

of nature—made energy in a more sustainable way. after we run 30 or 40 years providing energy storage and helping people, we can remove all of our facilities very quickly, 96% of them can be either repurposed or recycled, so only 4% of our facilities could ever go into a landfill. and we're trying to reduce that. and we can then plant some native vegetation and six months later, you never know our facility was there. that was kate on a roll in california. back at babcock, i'm going for a solar—powered spin in an autonomous shuttle with its chief financial officer. so i guess the motivation for having these autonomous vehicles is that you're encouraging families here not to have as many cars. correct. yeah, i think our thought is that over time, most families in the us have a two—car family.

and so our hope is that we can get from a two—car to a one—carfamily, where you have your car for the family, perhaps, but if you have it a car for a commuterfor work, you won't need it any more, you can take an autonomous shuttle or an autonomous vehicle to work. and so over time, which will take a long time, perhaps there are no cars. but i think, realistically, within the next 10—15 years, you could see a time when you go from two—car to one car. you think the us government at the moment doesn't understand? i think they get it. i think they're getting it. the government's a little slow to move, typically. but i think in major cities, in major metros, where traffic and pollution are an issue, technology can come in and save a lot of that. i think governments are willing to step up and make sure this comes to fruition. and we're seeing that slowly. what we're hearing and reading about is that a lot of major urban cores are going to become — there'll be restricted access, if you're driving your car and you're trying to get there, you can't get in, up to a certain mile, three miles outside of the city core, you can't get into the city core without being in an autonomous

vehicle, for instance. but outside of autonomous vehicles, i mean, building a city or a town that is sustainable, i mean, you're not going to be able to do this in colder, more crowded parts of the world. no, i think that's right. i think this is fairly unique. we've a unique situation here where we have the benefit of scale. there's not a lot people that own 18,000 acres of land. that's a big chunk of dirt. along with autonomous shuttles, babcock has its own water and waste facility, and as well as reclaiming water, there's a restriction on the amount that you're allowed to use. the tin roofs reflect heat, making homes 10% better at keeping cool, and the ranch's on—site gym is environmentally friendly too, it's powered by the treadmills. 0ne incentive to get off the couch, i suppose. it is a commendable vision to build a town with all these sustainable values but i can't help thinking you can only really do this when you are building a community from scratch. i mean, could you imagine trying to retrofit an existing town with all of these technologies? you'd basically have to tear up

the infrastructure and tear down all the buildings and start from scratch anyway. babcock has been built in the style of older towns to attract people who aren't necessarily fans of the new—build feel. hi, are you expecting me? people like the kinleys. mind if ijust step inside your air—conditioning and stay here forever? yeah, yeah. they've got a robot vacuum cleaner... i just want to kick those things. ..a coffee—making fridge... no, it's set up so it won't spill all over the place. ..and, of course, an electric car. for richard, a self—confessed geek and actual real fan of click, babcock was his calling. just reading tech blogs all the time on the internet, and it sounded fascinating to me. i liked the idea that it was environmentally friendly and was looking forward as far as energy solutions. we — in atlanta, we lived just downwind from one of the biggest coal— polluting plants in the country, and i thought

"that cannot be healthy". i think of it as guilt—free living. in the uk, when you have a small town with a central area that you can walk to, it encourages walking, so it's the lifestyle. and while the buildings may look like historic florida, for me, it was also all the technology, all the — you know, having 1 gigabyte of fibre optic internet to the home... yeah, you like that, you definitely like that. and that's it for the shortcut of our sustainability special. the full—length version is available on iplayer for you to watch right now. check us out on facebook and on twitter at @bbcclick. thanks for watching, see you soon. hello. away from scotland, it is a

bank holiday weekend, and for many, we got off to a reasonable start. fairly chilly in places this morning, some places down to 2—3 celsius, but solis have had some sunshine to the day. we have also had a few showers around, some heavy infa ntry had a few showers around, some heavy infantry in places, but they are already starting to fade. tomorrow, this bank of cloud in the early satellite picture will bring something wetter and windier through the day tomorrow. but overnight, some clearer skies, particularly further east, and mainly dry before the cloud starts to gather further west and we see outbreaks of rain arriving into northern ireland,

western scotland, western parts of wales and south—west england to the early hours. a cool night, not as chilly as the nightjust gone. lowes twin 7—11. much more unsettled tomorrow. a system worked its way in from the west, bringing outbreaks of rain and also strengthening the winds. most of us will see some rain at some stage through the day. so recent counties of scotland and england perhaps get up to a mainly dry if not bright start before the cloud starts to build, and then rain already further west extends its way eastwards through the day. some of thatis eastwards through the day. some of that is likely to be heavy, particularly over higher ground. gradually turning dry over higher ground. a noticeably windy day, and these are the average speeds, but these are the average speeds, but the costs will be even higher, particularly for western and southern coast, where they could reach 30—40 mph. so given the strength of the wind in the rain, a cool feeling day, 12—13 celsius for

scotland, 14—19 for the ireland, england and way. —— wales. into monday, for most of us it is a bank holiday, and it should be mainly dry. there will be a few showers feeding across the north—westerly wind. even those will study is down to the day. so styles of sunshine, and in the sunshine, feeling a bit warmer. highs of between 18—22, so just 18—19 to the north of scotland. showery rain to parts of northern ireland, wales and scotland later in the day. this is bbc news. i'm lukwesa burak. the headlines at 11:00 — pope francis is in ireland for the first papal visit in almost 40 years. he's been addressing a crowd of over 80,000 at croke park in dublin tonight. earlier, he spent 1.5 hours talking to 8 eople who suffered sexual

or institutional abuse by the irish clergy. translation: the failure of the authorities, priests and others has rightly given rise to outrage. as holidaymakers arrive home after being flown back early from an egyptian hotel, questions remain following the unexplained deaths of a british couple. women in england are to be allowed to take the second of 2 early abortion pills in their own homes — instead of in a clinic.
