tv The Papers BBC News September 1, 2018 10:30pm-11:01pm BST
10:30 pm
hello. this is bbc news. we'll be taking a look at tomorrow mornings papers in a moment — first the headlines. america joins together to rememberjohn mccain the former us senator presidential candidate and vietnam war veteran at a memorial service in washington. misery for northern rail customers as more than two—thirds of services are cancelled — in a dispute over driver—only operated trains. the shadow chancellorjohn mcdonnell says he's "worried and saddened" at the prospect of the labour party splitting and is pleading with mps considering walking away to talk to the leadership. janbaz tarin appears in court charged with the murders of a woman and her mother in solihull. hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are the business
10:31 pm
journalistjohn crowley and martin bentham, home affairs editor for the evening standard. you get the feeling that things are starting to come back to life after the summer. many of tomorrow's front pages are already in. the mail on sunday reports on an alleged plot led by the prime minister's former election guru to oust her and install borisjohnson in her place. the sunday times also leads on the apparent attempt by sir lynton crosby to destroy the prime minister's brexit plan and boost mrjohnson‘s leadership chances. the paper sasteremy corbyn too is under threat, with mps planning a vote of no confidence in the labour leader. the prime minister herself writes in the sunday telegraph, saying she will not agree to compromises on her brexit plan that are not in the national interest. the sunday express has a pledge from the prime minister that there will not be a second brexit referendum. the observer leads on what it says is a cash crisis engulfing local councils, pushing children's social care services to tipping point.
10:32 pm
and the independent reports on remarks from the husband of the british—iranian charity worker nazanin zaghari—ratcliffe, who is imprisoned in iran. richard ratcliffe says his wife's three day release was part of a ‘cruel game'. let us begin with the politics. the sunday telegraph, theresa may, i will not surrender to brussels. she is appealing to the eurosceptics who feared that the plan could be watered down further. theresa may has spent the summer travelling around europe sweet talking emmanuel macron and other people and now she is having to shore up the other end, she is writing in the sunday telegraph saying she will not give in on chequers. there is one other
10:33 pm
significant line in the piece that i saw, one of her backers, nick bowles who is as remain voting minister, he says he is urging moderate remainer is to stop backing chequers and think about their options. it is not all plain sailing. once again having to try and appeal to two different parts of the party that want different things. this is a classic theresa may 's statement, something meaningless, because she says she will not be pushed into accepting compromises that are not in the national interest. no leader says they are doing anything against the national interest, what does that mean? what do you define being in the national interest? i don't think that will placate the brexiteers or those on the other side, because it isa those on the other side, because it is a meaningless point. national interest, you have to define what that means. it is words, just like
10:34 pm
brexit means brexit, but what do they actually mean in concrete substantial terms? at the same time, michel barnier is wanting to hear that she is prepared to compromise further if necessary. we were talking about this before, there seem to be smoke signals coming from europe that they were perhaps coming around a little but more to the chequers deal and that was why theresa may was dancing during the week, who knows? that is the point about this, she says she will not acce pt about this, she says she will not accept compromises that are not in the national interest, but from the point of view of a brexiteer, they could argue that they are in the point of view of the brexiteers. she is caught between the devil and the deep blue sea, you sweet talk one bunch of people and because you have spoken to them, i have to say something vacuous and meaningless to the others. the merry-go-round continues. who would be a party leader of any political flavour? the sunday times has both leaders facing
10:35 pm
a political coup. we know after frank field resigned the web over the anti—semitism row that has split the anti—semitism row that has split the party, more mps really wondering whether they will have a home is still in the labour party. this story talks about labour mps planning a new vote of no—confidence. planning a new vote of no-confidence. the story implies that they are trying to get rid of him as leader and they had a vote of no—confidence brexit through the giftshop years ago, a massive vote of no confidence but he ignored it because he had the rank and file support which remains probably the case. it is hard to see, although there are plenty of disgruntled mps, it is hard to see how they can get rid of him. of course, the problem is for them, where do they go to if they are trying to form a new party, there is all this talk about a centrist party, but what is their
10:36 pm
electoral future as they do that? it is not clear that there is a mandate necessarily, a great sort of electoral support for that centre party at the moment. within the labour history, the likes of the sdp, how they kept labour out of power, for people, there has been a lot of talk that labour ministers and labourmps lot of talk that labour ministers and labour mps will try to think about forming a new party, but you saw what happened in the early 98 —— 19805 saw what happened in the early 98 —— 1980s what happened to labour. let us 1980s what happened to labour. let us talk about the risk to theresa may. in the form of borisjohnson again. always his leadership aspirations are never far from the front pages. getting help from sir lynton crosby. they are not on the best of terms. he ran her election campaign in 2017 and there was a lot
10:37 pm
of recrimination about what happened. lynton crosby did run the mayoral campaign for boris johnson ona mayoral campaign for boris johnson on a better footing, mayoral campaign for boris johnson on a betterfooting, but mayoral campaign for boris johnson on a better footing, but he won that. the machinations continue as you were saying earlier, parliament returns this week, there is more plotting at stake, but theresa may is backed in. the story is the front the mail on sunday, the prime minister rumbles the plot. this is all about lynton crosby allegedly organising a campaign to vote down the chequers deal and therefore to destabilise and possibly remove theresa may and have replaced by johnson. again, the problem with thatis johnson. again, the problem with that is that borisjohnson himself isa that is that borisjohnson himself is a toxic character. we had dominic grieve not that long ago saying that he would leave the party if boris johnson became its leader. of course dominic grieve may be an outrider on
10:38 pm
the left of the conservative party but there are other people who may actually agree with some of the positions that boris takes from a policy point of view but probably do not think that for all his great colour and he is an entertaining person to listen to, when it comes to the detail, he quite often in fa ct says to the detail, he quite often in fact says things that are unnecessarily provocative and cause trouble in a way that is properly not very productive. their are a lot of people who feel he does not pay attention to detail. i think you're being generous, some people call him useless. it feels like you must get this every weekend on a sunday newspaper, it is the plotting continuing. they have to. what we haveis continuing. they have to. what we have is the party season coming up as well. they will be coming under pressure. i would like to go back to
10:39 pm
the sunday times. unisex changing rooms put women in danger according to some research by the sunday times. where are these changing rooms where men and women are mixed up rooms where men and women are mixed up together? swimming pools and sports centres, not all of them have that of course, but there seem to be an increasing number where instead of having single sex changing rooms, everyone changes in the same place and there are cubicles and so on, but this is suggesting that 90% of harassment and voyeurism are in changing rooms in unisex facilities. that might be obvious in that it is less likely to happen by definition if you're not in the same one. most people do not want it. speaking from my personal point of view, i do not wa nt to my personal point of view, i do not want to be looking over my shoulder ina changing want to be looking over my shoulder in a changing room. let everyone spits hang—out of its engines. i am
10:40 pm
in favour of a nice little cubicle just for me. this is about the fact that there is a desire for some people to have single sex changing rooms, so people to have single sex changing rooms, so that people who identify in different ways are not discriminated against, that they have the same access to the same changing rooms as the rest of us.|j am not sure that it is entirely what this is driven by. certain places, i can think of one swimming pool but i go to that has a gender neutral changing area as well as a men's and women's one. for those type of people who want to identify in a different way, then some places do have a separate place for them as well. they would argue that they do not want to be pushed into a side room, a noble persons land. really, you need to answer this, it is usually women who are more worried about this than them, but from a
10:41 pm
male point of view it as a nuisance because it means you have to go into a cubicle and as you were saying, you have to be careful. a cubicle and as you were saying, you have to be carefullj a cubicle and as you were saying, you have to be careful. i would not wa nt to you have to be careful. i would not want to share it with anyone. yes, we agree that we should have separate rooms to changing. but as i won, just a little one, it is not much to ask. the observer, reveals cash services push into services to tipping point. a huge growth in demand for mental health services, social services but at the same time budgets are shrinking. this is about children going into care or being referred for applications to take them into care. those applications have increased in a very large number. the ba by have increased in a very large number. the baby p clays, there are various reasons, risk averse culture, a tendency to try and refer
10:42 pm
people. at the same time, one of the concerns is that there have been cuts in services which put more people in a vulnerable situation and increasing the need and at the same time of course, there are fewer services available to actually deal with the really hard cases, were perhaps they need that. there is a lot more people going into the syste m lot more people going into the system unless capacity to deal with those and you have a problem in both directions. there is a massive story, because so much effort has been expended by by politicians on brexit and this is a big issue, £800 million shortfall and we heard earlier on this year how local councils, northamptonshire and somerset, they are experiencing problems with cash flow and on the back of the study, lots more pressing issues or costs of looking after children, you're going to get issues like this and it is not really being talked about and i am glad we are talking about it now.
10:43 pm
the independent is where we will end this edition of the papers. the three—day release was a cruel game. the suggestion is that she would rather have not been let out at all. this is a dreadful situation. she was jailed in 2016. she said you was visiting relatives with her daughter. she has been let out for three days and then she has been brought back in and now her husband is understandably is flagging up this issue. i don't know, we were asking how this would play, he wants to keep the case in the spotlight, but how will this play with iran? there will not like it. there is another way ofjune, quietly and diplomatically. a foreign office minister is that there at the moment
10:44 pm
and it seems, this three—day release, although you can understand, why mr radcliffe and nazanin finger way they do, the problem was that the hopes were raised and three days often becomes more, she had this glimmer of hope and it has been taken away. i think the foreign office has managed, jeremy hunt has made a bit more progress, it seems. maybe the ministercan progress, it seems. maybe the minister can achieve something, let's hope so. that's it for the papers this hour. john crowley and martin bentham will be back at half past eleven for another look at the papers. next on bbc news, it's click. this is the business card
10:45 pm
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, 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
10:46 pm
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. 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
10:47 pm
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 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.
10:48 pm
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. 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? ok, got it. oh, yes!
10:49 pm
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 in case 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 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 collected. 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.
10:50 pm
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. woah! woah, 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.
10:51 pm
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 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.
10:52 pm
now here you can do video calls hands—free. it also has the other functions that you'd expect from a virtual assistant. 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. pop that there. i think actually, sadi, you look a bit too thirsty. i'll pass you a drink. 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.
10:53 pm
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 too thirsty. welcome, astronaut. you're about to embark on your first extravehicular activity on the moon. 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, a 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 1! 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.
10:54 pm
only 12 white male american astronauts have walked on the moon. no other nationalities or gender or race, 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 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.
10:55 pm
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 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‘s cracked. mission accomplished! how's that?
10:56 pm
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. hello. it may have been the first day of meteorological autumn today but there was still some warmth to be had, particularly on the eastern side of the uk. in the west, you have got cloud. didn't feel cold, mind you. that cloud did deliver a bit of patchy rain. best of the sunshine was in north—east scotland and the eastern side of england
10:57 pm
where some spots reached into the mid—20s. here's the satellite view from earlier. you can see the clouds spilling in across the north and west of the uk. again, a bit of patchy light rain and drizzle in places, as there will be again tonight. some holes in the cloud through eastern parts of scotland, more especially eastern england, allowing temperatures in some places to dip down into single figures. for most, notjust double figures but into the mid teens in places for overnight lows. quite humid as well. a lot of wind picking up, especially into scotland. into tomorrow, still plenty of cloud in the north and west of the uk. a cloudy day across much of the midlands compared with today. some sunny spells in north—east scotland, but especially east anglia and south east england, where some will have unbroken sunshine. where the cloud is thick, you may encounter a bit of patchy light rain and drizzle not amounting to too much. here's a snapshot of your weather at four o'clock in the afternoon. a breezy day, especially the further north you are, particularly into northern england, northern ireland and scotland. some outbreaks of rain heading towards northern ireland through the afternoon from the west.
10:58 pm
ahead of that, sunny spells for a time. running into the western side of scotland. in the north—east, the moray firth, we could see temperatures up to 2a degrees here in sunny spells. rain coming in during the day — northern ireland and western scotland. a cold front with a leading edge of cooler air, continuing to move south very slowly on monday. quite a change to the feel of the weather behind it. fresher, less humid as it will be cooler. some sunny spells around in scotland and northern ireland. that weather front will take some outbreaks of rain into parts of northern england, the midlands, wales and the south west. it will feel cooler here as well. but still some sun ahead of the front into east anglia and south east england. still with some sunny spells here. a range of weather on monday, but this weather front completes its journey going southwards into tuesday. temperatures by then closer together. a cooler feel across the board. as the week goes on, plenty of dry weather to come.
10:59 pm
this is bbc news. i'm martine croxall. the headlines at 11:00: # amazing grace... america joins together to rememberjohn mccain, the former us senator, presidential candidate and vietnam war veteren, at a memorial service in washington. america does not boast because she has no need to. the america ofjohn mccain has no need to be made great again, because america was always great. for all times we sparred, i never tried to hide, and i thinkjohn came
