6:02 am
the public and the police for their continued support. janbaz tarin will appear before magistrates in birmingham today. the case of the jailed british—iranian charity worker, nazanin zaghari—ratcliffe, will be raised by a foreign office minister today, during a two—day visit to tehran. alistair burt says he will push for a resolution of all cases of british dual nationals detained in iran, as tom burridge reports. the moment nazanin zaghari—ratcliffe was briefly reunited with her daughter last week. she was released from jail in daughter last week. she was released fromjail in iran daughter last week. she was released from jail in iran forjust three precious days before the regime there locked her up again. and this is nazanin zaghari—ratcliffe with gabriella a week before she was arrested in the spring of 2016. they have been separated ever since, with iran accusing nazanin of spying, something she strenuously denies. the foreign office minister alistair
6:03 am
burt is now in iran. he will meet his counterpart and push for nazanin‘s release. his boss, the foreign secretary, expressed frustration on twitter, calling a run an incredibly difficult regime to deal with. jeremy hunt said nazanin‘s hopes had been raised and then dashed when she was returned to prison. he promised to redouble effo rts prison. he promised to redouble efforts to get her home. last week he raised her plight at the united nations. every day that she is in prison is a reminder to the whole world of a gross injustice. nazanin‘s husband, richard ratcliffe, has praised the foreign secretary for his efforts. she suffered panic attacks after being locked up again. who calls the shots in iran is often not straightforward, and nazanin‘s predicament is complicated by tehran‘s deteriorating relationship with our key ally, the united states. government documents obtained by the times newspaper have shown how prominent figures who use tax avoidance schemes are apparently being blocked from receiving honours. a document which was drawn up between hm revenue and customs
6:04 am
and the cabinet office is said to feature a system for rating nominees‘ tax affairs. in recent years a number of celebrities who've been involved with lawful schemes have seemingly been overlooked for honours — including robbie williams and wayne rooney. here's more from our political correspondent, susana mendonca. the documents suggest a traffic light system has been used by hmrc to rate whether people honoured for robbers —— nominated for robbers are suitable candidates. they read rating for high—risk nominees, and that those considered likely to cause adverse comment, and green fellow risk. their suitability, the times says, is based on whether hmrc‘s reputation would be damaged ifa hmrc‘s reputation would be damaged if a knighthood were given to somebody late it closed as having avoided paying tax through lawful schemes. the newspaper says the names and ratings are sent to the cabinet honours committee and the prime minister via secure email, and
6:05 am
a memorandum of understanding between hmrc and the cabinet office says that poor tax behaviour is not consistent with the award of an honour. the documents suggest high profile celebrities may have been overlooked for runners because of their tax practices. last year, lea ked their tax practices. last year, leaked emails appeared to reveal david beckham's frustration at missing out on a knighthood. the former england captain was one of a number of celebrities are invested ina tax number of celebrities are invested in a tax avoidance scheme which was successfully challenged hmrc. the cabinet office didn't confirm whether celebrities were being given a red, amber orgreen whether celebrities were being given a red, amber or green rating, buta spokesperson said it was a long—standing policy that government departments like hmrc were invited to contribute to the honours nomination process in order to protect the system's integrity. less than a third of rail services provided by the main train operator in northern england will be running today. a dispute between bosses at northern, and members of the rmt union has been going on for more than a year. 0ur reporter andy gill is at liverpool lime street station. how disruptive are the cancellations likely to be? the railway passengers are used to
6:06 am
this, now, aren't they? but it is never a good feeling, knowing there is going to be more disruption when you have to travel. that's right. another weekend of major disruption for northern rail commuters, and this of course follows problems with the new timetable injune, which we re the new timetable injune, which were only partially restored in july. a three—day strike on south—western trains started yesterday over the issue of guards on trains. this is a twitter for our dispute for northern rail. even the north it coincides with a number of major evens. chester and beverley races, and the elimination sent whitney speirs is on in black wool. to give you an example of one service disrupted, no direct trains 01’ service disrupted, no direct trains or replacement buses between liverpool and pull this weekend. for the rmt union, this is about safety on trains. northern rail say they are doing everything they can to
6:07 am
minimise the disruption, but as you say, only about 30% of services are running, very little before nine o'clock and very little after six o'clock and very little after six o'clock this evening. 0ne o'clock and very little after six o'clock this evening. one possible glimmer of hope in these disputes yesterday, the rmt and merseyrail struck a deal in principle to keep guards on trains on the local merseyrail service. that is if the money is there to do it. the question then is, of course, and there was another deal struck as well that greater anglia trains, it raises the question of course if they can do deals here, why not elsewhere? it is because of the different arrangements train operators have. the department of transport says one man trains, one person trains have been operating across the country for 30 years, and the independent regulator says they are safe. andy, i am sure this will continue for some time. we will be talking later to the rmt union, as well. thank you. russian forces will today begin a week—long naval exercise in the mediterranean sea. the kremlin says the operation is justified due to a failure by the west to deal with militants in syria's idlib province. there are signs that the syrian government is preparing an offensive
6:08 am
against the last remaining rebel stronghold. the united states is ending all funding for the un's palestinian refugee agency. more than five million refugees are supported by the group, but the us state department says the organisation is "irredeemably flawed." a spokesperson for the agency said it rejected the criticism and was deeply disappointed. donald trump is going to visit ireland in november. the white house said the president hoped to "renew the deep and historic ties" between the two countries. his visit will be part of a wider trip to europe, to commemorate 100 years since the end of the first world war. actors rachel weisz and daniel craig have announced the birth of theirfirst child together, a baby girl. the 48—year—old oscar—winning actor and her 50—year—old james bond star husband got married in 2011. they've reportedly told friends that they are "very happy." competitors from across europe have competed in the uk's first ever mermaid olympics.

6:12 am
but overcoming her weaknesses. ijust loved her. were it not the gods goodness, greatness, we would have never known the queen of soul. we would have never known the joy that she brought to us. when i would go to her shows and watch her sing, it would be the best feeling in the world. nothing sounded rather to me than the way my grandma sings. her voice sounded rather to me than the way my grandma sings. hervoice made sounded rather to me than the way my

6:14 am
looking after the weather for us this weekend. you are taking personal control of the weather, completely. now it is meteorological autumn and you are now going to bring sunshine throughout the whole of the autumn, because you are in charge? a pleasure to beyond brea kfast. charge? a pleasure to beyond breakfast. good morning. some people won't like to hear this but we are in meteorological autumn —— the on brea kfast. in meteorological autumn —— the on breakfast. this is different to the solstices, the 21st of march will be the first day of spring, 21st of june, first day of summer. the astrological autumn will be later in september, around the 21st or 22nd but for meteorological purposes, we split it up into segments. it makes ita split it up into segments. it makes it a bit neater and keeps it a bit more compact. you've got spring in march, april and may, some are of
6:15 am
coursejune, july, march, april and may, some are of course june, july, august and september, october and november so we are in the first of september... the first of august. what am i talking about? a bit tired this morning. we are in autumn now. it looks like it's going to be pretty good for the start of september. we're looking at some weather moving up we're looking at some weather moving up from the south, warmth from the near continent. down to high pressure through this weekend and into next week, but looks like things good cooled down from wednesday onwards. quite a bit of cloud around. this weekend with increasing temperature and humidity it will feel more like it did earlier in august rather than the start of september. there's the area of high pressure to the east of the country, a good position to bring warm, southerly winds but we will have weather fronts into the north—west. not completely sunny across—the—board. there north—west. not completely sunny across—the—boa rd. there could north—west. not completely sunny across—the—board. there could be a bit of rain in fact in scotland and northern ireland. we are importing
6:16 am
this warm airfrom spain and france. this morning it's been a chilly start across the east of the country because of the clear skies. further north and west, more cloud and a warm start. the eastern side of england will see the best sunshine through the afternoon. although it will be a sunny start, in the afternoon we could see fairweather cloud, but temperatures pushed up to 22 or 23 with light southerly winds and in sunny spells, feeling pleasa nt and in sunny spells, feeling pleasant and the same in many used in parts. in northern ireland, wales and scotland, lots of cloud —— in many eastern parts. we are looking at temperatures around the mid to upper—teens celsius but they will rise into tomorrow. tonight is going to bea rise into tomorrow. tonight is going to be a largely dry one, more cloud around, perhaps even into south—eastern areas, the odd spot of rain too but you'll notice on the temperature profile tonight we've lost the light yellows and minty greens, the oranges making a return so greens, the oranges making a return so much warmer start to sunday. the mid teens celsius across—the—board,
6:17 am
we could see 16 in some places in the south. a warm and more humid start to sunday and we should see more sunshine around. the best in the eastern side of england but also some good sunny spells in north, north—east scotland where it will be quite warm. breezy generally in the north and west, windy in the west and we will have this weather front bringing more persistent rain in northern ireland and western scotland. 21, 22 in northern and north—east scotland. may be quite warm. breezy generally in the north and west, windy in the west and we will have this weather front bringing more persistent rain in northern ireland and western scotland. 21, 22 in northern and north—east scotland. maybe 25 in the south—east. that warmth holds on in the south—east into the start of next week and again we could see 25 in the south—east. that weather front will be in several areas bringing cloud and rain. behind it, cooler and fresher returning, we have the mid to upper teens. where the weather front is, 19 or 20. that area of high pressure moves north, allowing a north—easterly wind to develop across the country. variable amounts of cloud, some sunny spells through next week. although feeling fairly one, temperatures around the
6:18 am
seasonal fairly one, temperatures around the seasonal average, fairly one, temperatures around the seasonal average, but not as warm as this weekend. thanks very much. we will see you throughout the morning. we'll be back with the headlines at 6:30am. now it's time for the film review with jane hill and anna smith. hello and welcome to the film review on bbc news. to take us through this week's top cinema releases is anna smith. nice to see you, president of the critics' circle among other things. what have you been watching? we are starting with cold war, taking place primarily in poland and paris and an interesting story of a troubled relationship between a musician and singer. then we are off to sanjose
6:19 am
with searching, a missing person thriller told entirely on computer screens. so that's an interesting one to discuss. and we have yardie, idris elba's long—awaited directorial debut. yes, much excitement about that one. let's start with cold war, which looks beautiful. this is the arthouse choice of the week if you want to see a quality film. i look forward to the work of pawel pawlikowski. last resort was wonderful. my summer of love, where we first met emily blunt. this is shot in black and white and is the story of a relationship between a musician and younger muse who catches his eye when doing auditions for a folk troupe turing the eastern bloc in the late 405, early 50s. they are separated and come back together over the years and the film follows the progress
6:20 am
6:21 am
a few too many martinis! she's very good at playing drug. i must say, she's very good at that. the main actress trained as a musician and music was her background and i assume this is a reason she was chosen. she ended up on a polish tv competition which is how she gained her fame and this echoes that because she is part of this grim x factor in postwar poland. the action moves to paris and it gets more interesting and lost me a little bit, because i always need to feel invested in a central romance. i need to believe they belong together. she is stunningly beautiful and many people will be falling in love with her, but it is very much from the male character's point of view. maybe that's a reason i was not won over.
6:22 am
these are selfish people, who do not help each other in relationships. they make self—serving and mysterious choices. but it is beautifully shot. and a deliberate policy to be black and white, it is running from the 40s to 605. deliberate, go mac i walked out of the screening and suddenly the world looks strange in colour. it was evocative. i am interested in the next, an interesting idea. does it work? searching is shown entirely on computer screens — laptops, phones, facetime which has happened before in the horror movie genre but this is not a horror movie. this is a thriller about a missing child. it starts off giving you a lovely montage of an asian american family in sanjose, who sadly, the mother passes away, and the daughter grows up and goes missing as a teenager and the father is given the task of looking online, trying to find out... looking at her search history, what might be going on,
6:23 am
whether she has run away, washing hanging out with unsavoury characters online? every parent's worst nightmare going through his head. an fbi agent helps to track her down. it was remarkably effective and you sort of forget you are watching one computer screen in the main. it is like looking over someone's shoulder at something interesting on the computer. does it last for the duration of the feature film? it does. i have seen it twice and it got me both times, first time you enjoy the story, it is a tight thriller. it is not a violent thriller which is great. there are things that look like jokes, but they are great big clues so keep your eyes peeled. we must talk about idris elba, people are excited he is
6:24 am
turning to directing. i would love to say it is fantastic. it is a so—so one from me, but he has not done too badly, a solid debut. yardie the book was a cult hit in the 90s when people sold it from record shops and the back of vans. it is about 19705 jamaica and moving into 19805 hackney. aml ameen is terrific in the lead role. we will see in the clip that his character, d, comes to the uk to deal drugs but falls back into family life with his ex—girlfriend and child. let's have a look. bouquet. —— 0k. ah. that good. i never tink i would feel the sun on mi face again, you know. d, the first time i come this cold place, mi think mi ju5t 5hrivel up and die.
6:25 am
go on, i'll take you back home. yeah, i mek enough money i could buy a house for the tree of you. d. any of them you like by the sea, any of them. d. come now. this place is not like home at all, but mi feel safe. here? here. i won't go back. not even for by the sea. not even for that. come, we're going home. but i want to stay! mummy has work, vane55a. she can stay with me. by the sea. he—he! so decent performances and a nice sense of time and place. i found some of the dialogue a little bit too straightforward and the film relies on drama than clever touche5 all comedy. it is worth seeing and wonderful he has done this. and something we do not see much on film but a long way to go in terms of directing. very much recreating the hackney he grew up in.
6:26 am
it is nice on a human level he recreated his life story. and it will go down a storm in hackney, definitely. idri5 elba's directorial debut. now, best out. i have not seen this. i have seen the trailer. even the trailer, i was slightly cringing. even though kate mckinnon is talented. i would agree because i saw the trailer and thought i was not looking forward to. it is of the few better than the trailer. kate mckinnon is brilliant, from ghostbu5ters. it is mila kunis who finds out her boyfriend was a spy. they go on the run and they have various mi55ions. what i liked about this, they are two women you believe our friends. their characters and relationship drives the film and on that level a lot of fun and better than you think. that is going on the poster!
6:27 am
i suppose that is a fun thing about it. how often do we have two women as the central characters in this style of film? and a female director in the form of suzanne vogel. and dvd? tully will keep you guessing. they worked together on juno, which is the pregnancy one and this is the motherhood one. charlize theron needs a night nanny. and the night nanny comes in and it is about a charismatic nanny that comes in, but what is she up to? is there an element of the hand that rocks the cradle? they are all talented.
6:28 am
that is a winner. that is your dvd for the week if you fancy staying in. nice to see you. enjoy your cinema going whatever you decide to see. an interesting week and plenty to go and watch. see you next time. goodbye. that's it for this week, though. thanks for watching. goodbye. hello, this is breakfast with naga munchetty and steph mcgovern. good morning. here's a summary of today's main stories from bbc news. a man has been charged with the murders of a mother and daughter in solihull. janbaz tarin, who's 21, will appear before magistrates this morning. he was arrested on thursday, following an extensive search. raneem 0udeh and her mother khaola saleem were stabbed to death outside their home on monday. the foreign office minister, alistair burt, will raise the case

of nazanin zaghari—ratcliffe directly with iranian ministers today during his visit to tehran. he said he will push for a resolution of all cases of british dual nationals detained in the country. mrs zaghari—ratcliffe was jailed two years ago after being accused of spying, which she denies. government documents obtained by the times newspaper, have shown how prominent figures who use tax avoidance schemes are apparently being blocked from receiving honours. a document, which was drawn up between hm revenue and customs and the cabinet office, is said to feature a system which rates people's tax affairs. in recent years a number of celebrities who've been involved with lawful schemes, have seemingly been overlooked for honours, including robbie williams and wayne rooney. less than a third of rail services provided by the main train operator in northern england will be running today. a dispute between bosses at northern, and members of the rmt union, has been going on for more than a year. the union says passenger safety will be put at risk by getting rid
6:30 am
of guards and extending driver—only services. russian forces will today begin a week long naval exercise in the mediterranean sea. the kremlin says the operation is justified, due to a failure by the west to deal with militants in syria's idlib province. there are signs that the syrian government is preparing an offensive against the last remaining rebel stronghold. the united states is ending all funding for the un's palestinian refugee agency. more than 5 million refugees are supported by the group, but the us state department says the organisation is "irredeemably flawed." a spokesperson for the agency said it rejected the criticism and was deeply disappointed. donald trump is going to visit ireland in november. the white house said the president hoped to "renew the deep and historic ties" between the two countries. his visit will be part of a wider trip to europe, to commemorate 100 years since the end of the first world war. a star studded array of guests have
6:31 am
said a final goodbye to aretha franklin at her funeral in detroit. the service lasted for more than seven hours, with stevie wonder delivering an emotional finale. bill clinton gave an address, and there were also performances from ariana grande and chaka khan. that brings you up—to—date with this morning's news, but this is a story i have to tell you about. this is a great story. competitors from across europe have competed in the uk's first ever mermaid olympics. known as the merlympics, contestants take on events such as relay—racing and freestyle. some of those taking part had travelled to the tournament in dorset, from as far away as italy and slovenia. so they just
6:32 am
so theyjust have to use them around? synchronised swimming. right, got you. we've got mike sitting next to us, you should be commentating. well, we broke the story injanuary, commentating. well, we broke the story in january, announcing the commentating. well, we broke the story injanuary, announcing the uk had won the rights. we went training with the mermaids. yes, you did! i have a memory of dan walker sitting on this earth —— sofa with his mermaid tail. we will have to dig at philipp petzschner out. it was a big thing for the uk to get this story, it was held in germany before. there is sick and unassuming, relay, freestyle. it is incredibly hard to use them without tail on. you don't rely on your arms as much, you get the flick you can actually go three times faster than normal swimming. are there many people who do this? around the country it is growing, yeah. there has been a boom in tail sales since the start of the year. how are you going to segue from this into football? well, another great
6:33 am
sporting occasion. celebrations, deciphering and, though not for wales, sadly. you know, before last night there were 687 minutes without conceding a goal, and wales as a squad made up of amateur players, as well. it was winner take all, and it's england who can start brushing up on their french, ahead of next year's world cup. while wales must hope they get a chance in their play—offs. jo currie was watching for us in newport. qualifying for major tournaments has become a habit for england. now they must pop world like work —— world cup glory. wales were the underdogs but kept themselves in the mixture in the first half. the best they could muster was his unsuccessful penalty appeal. the half—time team talk brought england to life. tony duggan becoming the first player this campaign to finally land against wales. minutes later, jill scott scoring again. a lovely
6:34 am
looping header. all smiles. england we re looping header. all smiles. england were dreaming of france. fitting, then, that it was paris who sealed then, that it was paris who sealed the win. welsh heartbroken, but freeman, job done. i thought we showed our class, i thought we showed our class, i thought we showed our class, i thought we showed our possession, i thought we showed our possession, i thought we showed we were a top team. i am proud and i am looking forward to the next 12 months. these girls want to play at the highest level and they are capable of it, but we have to show that. we came out due to compete tonight, and we had to 60 minutes. we need to be good enough 90 minutes, and in the we will be. wales now have a nervous wait to see if they have done enough a play—off place. at england and their fans, they can now look forward to the summer, with the knowledge they will have to prance as one of the favourites. —— head to france. the early kick—off in the premier league takes liverpoool to leicester city. but it isjose mourinho making headlines again ahead of manchester united's trip to burnley tomorrow. he's been quoting philosophy,
6:35 am
and says he will be "one of the greatest managers in the world," even if he doesn't win the premier league at the club. i had great success last season. that's what probably you don't want to admit. and you do what you want, ido to admit. and you do what you want, i do what i want, i analyse my performance, myself, and for me it is more important what i think then what you think. the top two in the championship met last night. a cracking atmosphere in front of 35,000. middlesborough came close, through, former leeds star, jonny howson. it finished goalless though and leeds stay top. did you have a good time? did we look after you? yes, a great game, free goalless draw. —— for a. the fourth test between england and india is tantalisingly poised, going into the third day later this morning. yesterday five wickets for moeen ali
6:36 am
helped them fight their way back into the test after a poor start. they ended the day, on six for no wicket, only 21 runs behind india. adam wild reports from southampton. 0n the south coast, england knew they had a rescue job to do, having struggled with the bat, now the bowlers' turn to try to reverse fortunes. stuart broad has so often saved his side before. here he got things started. but this would take patience, india fighting to stay in this series. sam curran got the biggest breakthrough of all, virat kohli. things were beginning to turn in england's favour. moeen ali could sense it. two more wickets in two balls for him. the first to dismiss i balls for him. the first to dismiss ——, and then shami. —— dismiss ashwin. sharma caught by cook, just. and while pujara couldn't be stopped, his 80th century, the
6:37 am
rescue was complete. india's first innings lead a mere 27 runs. england's openers surviving a nervous last few moments. so, england's axeman will return on six without loss. the big question now is whether they can do what they couldn't do in the first innings, and build a platform on which england can actually win this game? and if they do, they will win the series. to the us open, and serena won the battle of the williams sisters to progress through to fourth round. the 23—time grand slam champion beat sister venus in straight sets, and said it was the best she'd played since returning to the sport after taking time out to have her daughter last september. rafael nadal‘s also through to the last 16, but was made to work for it by russia's karen khachanov. nadal was a set and a break down at one point, but fought back to win in four sets. the new rugby union season's underway and newly promoted bristol will be delighted with their start. they took on local rivals bath in their first game back in the premiership, and this late
6:38 am
try from alapati leiua ensured they started with a 17—10 win. you can see how that went down at ashton gate. in the pro 1a, champions leinster won a cracking match at cardiff. there were only two minutes on the clock when bryan byrne's try got them to within a point — and another byrne, ross byrne, kicked the conversion to earn a 33—32 victory. george north's playing his club rugby in wales again, and he's not had a bad start. the wales wing scored two tries on his competitive debut for 05preys as they beat edinburgh. stand by for a big crash. this is sauber‘s magnus ericsson in second practice for the italian grand prix. thankfully, the swede walked away unharmed. sebastian vettel led a one, two for ferrari with mercedes‘ lewis hamilton in third place. 0w!

ow! yes, indeed. sound effects from steph. stand—up paddle boarding has been one of the biggest growing sports in the uk over the last decade, but what do you do if you don't like water? you could try the new sport of landpaddling. i was told its easier than skateboarding, so i went to southport this week to join a club session involving all ages. it is the sport that enables us to gracefully walk on water. now stand—up paddle boarding has also come ashore, and reached dry land, and wheels have given it fresh momentum. no longer are john and wheels have given it fresh momentum. no longer arejohn and his mates restricted to getting their large inflatable boards out and finding some calm water. they can now keep under boarding through the winter, even when the sea off south what is rough and dangerous. when it is too windy on the lake you can still land battle. you canjust get
6:40 am
off on board and onto another and still have fun with your friends and get active and fit. land paddling originated from the united states, where it sort of, i guess, as stand—up paddle boarding came about, land paddling came behind. just like surfing and skateboarding, we took to the streets and we are training for the sport. it is much more accessible and skateboarding. that is mainly down to the longer and wider wheelbase on the boards. also, you have extra contact with the flow. with the paddle you no longer have to take your foot off and push the board along. you are pretty —— pushing with your arms and steering with your feet so it is all about the ride. if you are one of the millions who tried stand—up paddle boarding on the water, you will find this a double. it is also much more sta ble this a double. it is also much more stable than skateboarding, because you have the security of the stick. and if you have ever been punting on a river, you will find this gives you the same sort of elegance and grace as you glide along.|j you the same sort of elegance and grace as you glide along. i am 70 and it is good exercise. i've got a fused ankle, and i can use a stick
6:41 am
with my arms to push myself along.|j don't need to use my feet. it is just nice and fun and when it is really hot and you are doing it, and then the coal there goes a long, it is really good. i don't skateboard, but i do this and it is really fun. it is probably because of the panel, makes me feel more secure. in some parts of the world, there are now regular races. i have been given a head start but look at them coming through. it is hoped a small clubs form in this country there will soon be regular conditions and championships. i'm finding this is great exercise for your arms, your upper body and your core. all the pushing. it is really important to find space away from other parties is before you build up any speed, especially at first when you are certain to turn a few heads. 0nce you have learned to lean and turn, you have learned to lean and turn, you can keep going and going. in fa ct, you can keep going and going. in fact, stand—up award north even do their own version of circuit training around a fountain. there is
6:42 am
no stopping them, even as the sun sets over this merseyside seaside town. what a shot of southport. another new sport, i spent quite a lot of my little camp will hot —— capping holiday in dorset paddling on the water, but now i have something to do in winter when it gets too cold and dry. which one was easier? land paddling, definitely. you don't have the instability of the waves, you know? a big weight can come along and knock you off your board. but out there, i don't think i saw anybody fall, and they were mostly beginners. i always found skateboarding and the difficult. but that looks, with their poll... yeah, because you don't have to keep stepping up to push yourself. skateboarding, nothing wrong with it, it is going to be an olympic sport. at much more challenging than that. looks fun. thank you, might. so, it is that dreaded moment, back to school. i used to love going back to school. i used to love going back to school! as an only child. seeing all my little friends. well, parents
6:43 am
might be worrying. this weekend's big shop will include trying to buy nutritious food for their children's school lunchboxes, food that they will actually eat. a new survey suggests that many parents feel guilty that their child's packed lunch isn't healthy enough. we've been asking some of you what food you send your kids to school with. i would pack more good things than what she would like to eat because i know she loves to eat crisps and she loves to eat all those lovely delicious salty things, but i would pack more fruit. fruit, snacks as a treat. that is what we tend to do with school and at home. water, sandwich, fruits. no juice, with school and at home. water, sandwich, fruits. nojuice, at all. we compromise on popcorn. we like popcorn anyway, we don't like to put crisps in. and we don't put chocolate things in, because that isn't allowed by the school. we a lwa ys isn't allowed by the school. we always have lots of fruit. it is just a bit boring. we generally find
6:44 am
the healthy stuff tends to get left in the lunchbox and comes home in the evening. so we will put in two or three items, orange, the evening. so we will put in two orthree items, orange, apples, fruit, generally. the chocolate bar is what gets eaten. we do it them at home. yeah, sometimes. that is a talking point this morning. you can email us at bbcbrea kfast@bbc. co. uk or share your thoughts with other viewers on our facebook page. let's find out what is happening with the weather, now. what is in your lunchbox, stav? i like chocolate, crisps, and i love fruit and veg. the weather isn't conforming to the first day of meteorological autumn, that's for sure. recapping about what goes on with meteorological autumn and astronomical seasons, astronomical seasons are the equinox and the solstice, the equinox is the equal day, equal night length, which will start on the 21st of september. we
6:45 am
are starting the first day of the meteorological calendar, which of course starts on the first of september, which is today. the weather isn't conforming to that, pretty warm. summary especially in the south and east through the weather, largely dry as well and we could see a bit of rain in western areas and this is why. high pressure will be with us for quite a while, into next week as well, these weather fronts trying to affect the west of the country. more cloud around there and a few spots of rain but we keep the cold autumnal weather away for now, drawing up a warm, sunny weather away for now, drawing up a warm , sunny breeze weather away for now, drawing up a warm, sunny breeze from the near continent. a lot of cloud in the west, quite mild. clear in the south and east to start and lots of sunshine here, quite a nippy start but it won't be long until those temperatures rise and that south, south—easterly wind will see 23 in the south—east, even 23 in the east midlands. further west, more the south—east, even 23 in the east midlands. furtherwest, more cloud. temperatures reaching 20 or 21 and
6:46 am
that cloud will be thicker in western parts of scotland with the odd spot of rain. a few sunny spells in northern ireland and north—east scotland, where we could see 19 or 20 in aberdeen so not looking too bad. more cloud in northern and western areas. we end the day on a fine note. the odd spot of rain in western areas. more cloud around and where we import the warm air, a milder night tonight. the orange colours returning, losing the mint greens of the lastjune i is. we start sunday in the mid—teens —— last few nights. you call in the south—east because the skies will be clear. into sunday, temperatures best in the south—east —— cool in the south—east. this weather front moving into the west of northern ireland, the west of scotland, maybe a bit more energy to it and it could produce outbreaks of rain but we could see the low 205 in north—east scotland, 23 to 25 in the south—east
6:47 am
and monday looking warm in the south—east, fresher in the north—west. that transition to autumn is certainly happening. we'll be back with the headlines at 7am. now it's time for click. this is the business card of our first guest on the programme this week, google's self—proclaimed security princess. parisa tabriz is one of the biggest names in cyber security. the buck stops with her if, for example, chrome, google's browser, is hacked. and if you've ever seen these while you're browsing,
6:48 am
these little padlocks help us to know if the link between your computer or phone and a website is secure. parisa is behind google's push to get more websites to use the encrypted https protocol. now, not all hackers are bad guys, of course. parisa employs about 200 of them in a specialist unit called project zero. they hack all sorts of software before the bad guys do so any vulnerabilities can be spotted and fixed. they're like a police force but they all wear hoodies, because obviously that's all that hackers ever wear, apparently. anyway, dan simmons went to chat about all these things with parisa at the world's biggest cyber security expo, black hat. the security princess is informal, controversial and, unusually for the industry, she's a woman. so honours even with the paper—scissors thing, we agreed to start there. so who gave you the title of security princess? self—appointed.
6:49 am
you came up with it. i came up with it myself. when i started at google i had a job title — information security engineer in the information security team, which i thought was a mouthful and also not very meaningful. so i was actually going to go to a conference and they told me to me you need to make business cards. and so i was, like, so, if i was going to have a meaningless job title, i thought i would make it cute and whimsical. on a serious note, you're one of very few women at your level in the security industry, even in the it industry, but specifically within the security industry. what's it like? when ijoined chrome to lead the security team i was the only woman, and now we have a whole team which is actually majority women, and they're the one who are actually responsible for all the work that we've seen to push https on the web. what are the things you pick up on that you think, actually, i reckon that probably does put quite a few women off? you hear a lot of stories. you know, very subtle things, like you go to an event and there's
6:50 am
women that are, kind of, dressed in scantily—clad outfits and that's, like, the major woman presence there and that doesn't make you feel included and respected as a professional. project zero gets hackers to find bugs in any software on the web. they give vendors 90 days to fix it or they go public. doing that has actually incentivised more change in industry in terms of being able to fix security bugs faster. before you started, 25% of those problems got sorted in 90 days i understand? yes. and now it's what? now the vast majority, i think 98% of issues are fixed within the 90—day disclosure policy. you have to be a genius to be in your position? no, you don't, i am not a genius. you have to be a genius. i'm not, i'm really not a genius.
6:51 am
if there's one thing i want you to know, i am not a genius. i work hard, i embrace learning, and as you get older you're kind of afraid to fail but that's how you learn. can we do one more because i know i lost the first one, so... sure, sure. 0k. three again? 0k, got it. oh, yes! until next time, parisa, thank you very much. thank you. now, in my experience, one of the big themes of almost every efa tech show is the smart home, which usually means the very latest version of a fridge with a camera in it unless you can't be bothered to open the door, but lara lewington has managed to hunt down some actually useful smart homery. there's been no shortage of smart home devices over the past few years, but which ones would you actually want? this small plastic bin
6:52 am
is the prototype of something called the bindicator. the idea is it will connect to your local council's website and will then change colour depending on what bin needs to be connected. so it does solve a problem but the question is, do you really want it sitting in your house? one thing that isn't a matter of opinion, though, is that we all want to make sure our homes are safe. yes, it has the sensors, it even has the photo sensor which will take five photographs every time a movement triggers it, that's of course only when the alarm is actually set, but this is the real difference — a fog dispenser which will fill the room with fog, so if somebody is about to steal something, well, they might not be able to even find it. once the alarm is set, the control centre will be able to access sound and pictures. the activation ofjust one sensor is then enough to alert a human to trigger this fog if needed.
6:53 am
woah! well, it's quite something. i'm glad i didn't get thejob of being the fake burglar. oh, it does catch in your throat a bit and a bit stingy on your eyes but i've been assured it's perfectly safe, it's passed to some sort of eu regulations, and apparently it leaves no residue inside anyone's home because obviously that would be slightly offputting. i was also warned it may irritate pets. but of course it would be better to stop a would—be burglar at the first hurdle, the front door. this isn't the first smart bell that i've shown you but it is claiming to be the first that offers person detection and facial recognition. simon is at the front door. simon's at the front door! hello, simon. i'm just going to come and get you. full functionality does require a subscription. it can then recognise faces as well as unlock live video recordings, which can be available up to five days after they were captured. you can also pretend
6:54 am
to be in when you're out. or, of course, vice—versa. they do say there's safety in numbers, though, so maybe you'd like some company. if you were starting to think your home virtual assistant was a little bit low—tech, then maybe it's because you've been waiting for a home robot. now here you can do video calls hands—free. it also has the other functions that you'd expect from a virtual assistant. hey, temi. what's the weather in london today? through facial recognition and identifying your shape, it can also identify you and follow you around. ijust need to introduce myself. there we go. it knows who i am. so come with me. slightly unnerving. great. i think my phone just needs a bit more power. put that there. i think actually, sadi, you look a bit thirsty. i'll pass you a drink.
6:55 am
don't worry, no need to move. hey, temi, go to the sofa. i'm on my way to the sofa. brilliant, thanks. it recognised "go to the sofa," it's just not done it. hey, temi, go to the sofa. i didn't get that. go to the sofa. i'm going to the sofa. thank you. it does need a strong wi—fi connection and we all know voice recognition still has a way to go but still, you'd better make sure that your guests weren't thirsty. welcome, astronaut. you're about to embark on your first extravehicular activity on the moon.
6:56 am
the suit will be wearing consists of several elements to enhance your experience. a suspended safety harness, a personal telemetry system to track your body movements, and finally, samsung gear vr headset and controller to help you see objects in your environment. in the run—up to the 50th anniversary of the apollo 11 moon landing next year, creative studio framestore and samsung have been touring the world with their lunar vr experience called a moon for all mankind. only 12 white male american astronauts have walked on the moon. no other nationalities or gender or races, so we like the idea of opening up the moon for everybody. while vr headsets can track will respond to your head movements and some will allow you to move around in 3—d virtual space, to really feel like you are on the moon, you are going to have to lose some weight. this beast is based on nasa's own variable gravity simulator
6:57 am
called argos, the active response gravity offload system. ok, the rig is now going to weigh me. and then work out what my weight would be on the moon. and then it knows how much extra lift to give me whenever ijump and how slowly, to make me descend, in order to simulate one—sixth gravity. wow. this is what it feels like to be on the moon. the experience hasn't even started yet and i'm having a good time. unlike more advanced vr headsets, the gear vr can only tell which way your head is pointing. the vertical position in the arms and the legs are tracked by the sensors on your suit. here we go to the edge of a crater now. the earth looks amazing. now unfortunately, if you are sensitive to a mismatch between your senses, the fact that you think you are moving forward
6:58 am
across the lunar surface whereas actually you are going up and down may cause a little bit of discomfort. i'm going to get out of here because there seems to be a meteor shower. it certainly makes for an exhilarating ride, though. definitely more dramatic than any of the lunar astronauts would have wanted. oh, my goodness. my helmet has cracked. mission accomplished! how's that? i survived, but it was close. well, that's it for the short cut of click this week. the full—length version is up on iplayer for you to watch any time you fancy, including now, and don't forget we live on facebook twitter as well. thank you very much for watching and we'll see you soon. take your first leap. good morning.
6:59 am
