6:01 am
writing in the sunday telegraph, the prime minister claims that to ask the question all over again would be a gross betrayal of our democracy. our political correspondent chris mason reports. the prime minister argues that in the eu referendum two years ago, millions of people voted, some for the first time in decades, and they trusted their vote would count. and yet one deep pocketed member of the tory faithful, the donor and businessman sir simon robertson, tells the observer the exact opposite, insisting it is balderdash to say you can't have another vote. and the prime minister is not short of the sciver risk rekik back here in parliament either. desperate to see her blueprint for brexit, which
6:02 am
has already cost her to cabinet ministers, shredded. until now, the most ardent sceptics have been long—standing brexiteers, but now the conservative backbencher nick bowles, who voted remain, joins them in wanting her plan rewritten. he described the current strategy as a humiliation dictated by brussels. instead, he suggests that the uk should remain in the european economic area while negotiating a free trade agreement with the eu. welcome to the new term in politics. it's getting loud already. chris mason, bbc news, at westminster. the shadow chancellorjohn mcdonnell says he is worried and saddened at the prospect of the labour party splitting amid the row about anit—semitism. mr mcdonnell says it's something he wants to avoid at all costs. tensions in the party have intensified following the decision by one of the party's longest

serving mps frank field to resign the whip. there's been a big rise in the number of staff being caught smuggling banned items into prisons. the figures obtained by the observer newspaper show an increase of more than 50% over the past six years, but the prison service says this still represents a tiny proportion of staff. ben ando reports. injuly, inspectors in july, inspectors found that wandsworth prison in london, the most overcrowded in britain, had stopped scanning visitors for drugs and other banned items due to a lack of staff. the same month a 25 yuan prison officer was jailed for smuggling contraband into forest bank prison in salford, greater manchester. now the minister of justice had admitted in figures released to the observer newspaper that in the last 60 years the number of prison employees, notjust officers but health workers, trainers or other support staff found smuggling illegal items like
6:04 am
drugs, mobile phones, weapons or tobacco drugs, mobile phones, weapons or to ba cco into drugs, mobile phones, weapons or tobacco into prisons in england and wales has gone up by more than a half. the figures show that in 2012, 45 prison staff were caught smuggling but five years later in 2017, that figure had gone up to 71. and the number of drug finds has trebled, now running at an average of 35 everyday. campaigners has said one problem is people. despite a recruitment drive to bring in 2500 new prison officers, the workforce has shrunk by nearly a fifth since 2010 when there were nearly 7000 more than now. prison bosses say these figures represent the actions ofa these figures represent the actions of a tiny minority and that most of their staff are hard—working and honest. but the government knows that with record levels of violence and drug seizures and suicides, increasingly the impression is of a prison service in crisis. ben an, bbc news, at the ministry of justice. the authorities in germany say rival protests by pro— and anti—migrant groups in the eastern
6:05 am
city of chemnitz passed off without major trouble. the atmosphere in the city has been tense following a series of violent demonstrations after the death of a german man. it's alleged he was killed by two migrants. our berlin correspondent jenny hill reports. fury, hostility on the streets of chemnitz. lugenpresse — "lying press," they shout. leading them on, the anti—migrant party afd. this protest — a funeral march, organised by several far—right groups to remember the german man killed last weekend by, police believe, a syrian and an iraqi. the vast majority of the people
6:06 am
are normal citizens, very normal people, and theyjust don't understand and they don't accept the policy of the german government, ms merkel. that's the message for tonight. police feared mass violence, butjust about held the line. the challenge now for the authorities, how to contain the anger and fear which divide this troubled city. jenny hill, bbc news, chemnitz. the united states says it is cancelling $300 million in military aid to pakistan. the pentagon has criticised pakistan for failing to deal with militant groups operating in the country. the decision was taken just days before the us secretary of state is due to meet the newly elected prime minister imran khan. video games which allow players to make in—game purchases will have a warning icon on their packaging from christmas. a picture of a hand holding a credit card will appear on boxes. the aim is to warn parents and help them regulate how much money their children can spend. our news correspondent angus crawford has more. once out of the shop, the gaming can
6:07 am
start. but so too can the spending. many games allow players to buy things like better guns, new characters or extra features using real nondigital money. children can run up big bills and some parents to find out until it's too late. about 40% of their parents let children spend money in game, it's becoming more of a common thing in games as digital downloads mean you can spend money in a game to get extra content 01’ money in a game to get extra content or there's the rise of these luke ochs is an minor transactions... especially ones that are free originally like fortnight, battle whyalla. the industry is aware of the problem. last year after a public outcry, one game temporarily stopped all in play purchases. and 110w stopped all in play purchases. and now the european ratings body peggy has decided to act. from christmas,
6:08 am
video game boxes will carry a new icon, warning parents that children can pay and spend at the same time. but will it make any difference? can pay and spend at the same time. but will it make any difference ?m you but will it make any difference?“ you have to buy the game and within the game to actually play the game and make the most fun out of that game you have to spend a lot more money, the customer should be informed about that so i agree. all the games these days, everything comes with add—ons and extra purchases. it's a good idea to one people but at the same time people should probably expected anyway i think. regulators fear gaming can sometimes look more like gambling. this new icon perhaps a sign of the industry taking action before it's forced to. angus crawford, bbc news. we will talk about that more in the programme. a second world war veteran has broken his own record as the world's oldest scuba diver. 95—year—old ray woolley spent nearly three—quarters of an hour underwater examining a shipwreck off the coast of cyprus. tim allman reports. they say you only get
6:09 am
better with practice. well, that certainly must be true for ray woolley. a former radio operator during the war, he's been scuba diving for 58 years. his latest excursion, out into the crystal clear waters of the mediterranean. cheering cheered on as he took the plunge, heading down to visit a wreck that is not even half his age. the ms zenobia was a cargo vessel that sank on its maiden voyage in 1980. ray and the two dozen or so divers who accompanied him took time out for a group photo. then, after checking the watch to see how long they'd been down there, headed back to their boat. cheering
6:10 am
more cheers, more applause for this most modest of men. we did it! we managed to get 40.6 metres. for 44 minutes. wow! that's pretty good! lovely to break my record again! and i hope if i keep fit, i'll break it again next year with all of you! yes! and somehow, you kind of believe he will too. tim allman, bbc news. i want his secret. i know. it's not easy getting out of the water onto a boat, especially not at 95. with those whopping great things as well, pretty impressive. remarkable. -- fins. let's look at the papers, the daily telegraph, a number of papers
6:11 am
featuring the comments from theresa may, she has written a piece in the telegraph crucially ruling out a second referendum and senior conservatives have backed for a people's vote, a second referendum on brexit, but she said that would betray the brexit vote, it's not going to happen. she also reassures the eurosceptics in her party that she's not going to further water down the chequers plan, which of course many brexiteers are not satisfied with at the moment. just to point out, dakota johnson, the actress in that picture, she is actually... she's actually wearing a top, i promised, a strapless top, it is slightly hidden by the boat she was in for is slightly hidden by the boat she was infora is slightly hidden by the boat she was in for a venice film festival thing. there you go if you're wondering why we're doing that first thing in the morning. similar story on the sunday express, they have picked up on theresa may. also news
6:12 am
from dec from ant and dec that he and his wife, ali, have had a baby called ajla. beautiful name, congratulations. their first child, congratulations. their first child, congratulations to them. the sunday times and the mail on sunday have been running with this story about talks of a possible coup to unseat theresa may and also to boost boris's chances. the man behind that is sterling than crosby. that's in a couple of papers this morning. the observer couple of papers this morning. the o bserver features couple of papers this morning. the observer features barack couple of papers this morning. the observer features ba rack obama couple of papers this morning. the observerfeatures barack obama on the front page speaking atjohn mccain's funeral in washington yesterday —— sur lynton crosby. cindy, john mccain's wife, standing behind the draped coffin. strong words from his daughter yesterday, megan, who was one of the speakers at the funeral. let me read to you what she said, we gathered to mourn
6:13 am
the passing of american greatness, the passing of american greatness, the real thing, not cheap rhetoric from men who will never come near the sacrifice he gave. she went on to say the america ofjohn mccain has no need to be made great again because america was always great. no reference to donald trump by name but pretty clear who she was talking about. of course, donald trump not invited to the funeral yesterday. let's have a quick look at the time. you're watching bbc news breakfast. theresa may says she won't give in to those who want another eu referendum. there's been a big rise in the number of staff caught smuggling banned items into prisons. here's stav with a look at this morning's weather. eye we talking about the weather? we we re eye we talking about the weather? we were going to talk about thomas the tank engine but that can wait. let's
6:14 am
get some weather. it's been a rather nice morning. stav has the weather. good morning, a lovely davies some of us. 25 degrees across eastern england, unbroken sunshine with that 01’ england, unbroken sunshine with that or cloud across northern and western areas. but we are starting today on fairly warm note is going to be a warm day. but it looks like there will be a bit of rain across western errors and that is because of this weather system which will encroach into the north—west corner at high pressure has dominated the scene the most and we are drawing up this warm airfrom the near most and we are drawing up this warm air from the near continent. most and we are drawing up this warm airfrom the near continent. a nice, bright morning, after a fairly fresh start. not quite as warm and humid as it is further north and west. most of the cloud at of rain in the afternoon soap for wales, glimmers of sunshine into the south—west
6:15 am
midlands. but the temperatures there, in the low 20s. could see temperatures reaching 25, 20 six degrees. the best of the sunshine further north. particularly the north—east of scotland. temperatures and low 20s but rain will be slowly pushing into western scotland and northern ireland. today, quite in —— quite windy and northern ireland and much of scotland. behind it, skies we re much of scotland. behind it, skies were clear and when that does, it will be a chilly end to the night. a few clear spells, another warm and muqqy few clear spells, another warm and muggy day. for monday, this will bring the rain to the north—west. slowly sliding southwards. to the warmer, more humid air. starting the
6:16 am
new working week, writer, and cooler. more clout here, outbreaks of rain. anotherfine cooler. more clout here, outbreaks of rain. another fine day with variable cloud. temperatures reaching the mid— 20s. around the high teens underneath that cloud. that band of cloud and rain is south eastwards and we are into that slightly cooler and fresher team as we had to the week but with high pressure, largely fine and settled with spells of sunshine and a little bit of cloud, and a bit cooler. thomas the tank engine — along with his friends percy, gordon, and of course the fat controller — are all well known characters from the children's tv series. and they're soon to be joined by a wealth of new friends,
6:17 am
as the show gets a multi—cultural makeover thanks, in part, to a collaboration with the united nations. caroline rigby has the story. for more than seven decades, thomas the tank engine has been a childhood staple for so many people, and now the brand is on track for a major upgrade. we are so lucky nia has joined the steam team on sodor! meet nia from kenya and rebecca from australia, two strong new female characters helping to turn the steam team into a more diverse dream team. two engines are much better than one, you know! i think it is great that there is diversity now on the show. i think it is important that children can watch the show and think, "this train looksjust like me." thomas and friends has a huge global reach, broadcast to over 100 countries in more than 50 languages,
6:18 am
and with more than 40% of the show‘s audience being young girls, it is hoped a better balance of characters will mean a more inclusive brand. the new series will also see thomas travel across the world to discover new people and cultures. it is a collaboration with the united nations to promote their sustainable development goals. gender equality, quality education, responsible consumption. things that would naturally fit into thomas' world, and of course, with thomas going around the world that allows us to have great stories with animals involved, so we can also do one of the sustainable development goals about life on land. i am very impressed with your clever and brave actions to save our tigers! quite how thomas will travel across continents from his home the on sodor is yet to be revealed, but with the brand's biggest relaunch in its 73—year history, it appears to be full steam ahead for this lovable locomotive. # the world's just a train ride away! it's
6:19 am
a train ride away! a brave new world. will they have it's a brave new world. will they have a fat controller? tracks are all different around the world. have a fat controller? tracks are all different around the worldlj love that, over to niche knowledge. you never thought you would need that. you can suspend belief for a while. we'll be back with the headlines at 6.30. now it's time to join jane hill and anna smith for the film review. hello, and a very warm welcome to the film review on bbc news. and to take us through this week's top cinema releases is anna smith! nice to see you, anna, chair — president, in fact, of the critics' circle, among other things. good to see you. what have you been watching? right. well, this week's an interesting week. we are starting off with cold war. this takes place primarily in poland and paris and a very interesting story of a troubled relationship between a musician and a singer.
6:20 am
then we're off to sanjose in the current day for searching, which is a missing person thriller and it's told entirely on computer screens, so that's an interesting one to discuss. and then finally, we have yardie, which is idris elba's long—awaited directorial debut. yes. yes, much excitement about that one. let's start with cold war which looks just beautiful. tell us more. yeah, absolutely. i mean, this is kind of the art house choice of the week, if you want to go and see a wonderful, quality film. i mean, i always look forward to the work of pawel pawlikowski. he is a tremendous director. last resort was wonderful. my summer of love, that's where we first met emily blunt. yes, a fantastic film! fantastic film. and he's recently worked on ida, which — this has a similarflavour
6:21 am
to that because it is, once again, shot in black and white. it's the story of a relationship between a musician and younger muse, if you like, who catches his eye when they're doing auditions for a folk troupe that's sort of touring europe and the eastern bloc in the late ‘40s, early ‘50s. now, they're separated and they come back together over the years, and this film kind of follows the progress of their tumultuous relationship, really, and drops in and out of the relationship. there are moments when there is a lot of action in this film. most of the time, it is actually quite bleak, but we've chosen a clip that gives you a lively sense of zula, played byjoanna kulig, her personality. let's have a look. ok, great. rock around the clock by bill haley and the comets plays. a few too many martinis!
6:22 am
she's very good at playing drunk. i must say, she's really good at that! and the main actress trained, i think, as a musician, a singer, you know, music was very much her background, and i'm assuming this is one of the reasons she was chosen for that part. absolutely. i mean, she was actually — she ended up on a polish tv competition, and that's how she gained her fame, so this sort of echoes that because she's part of this kind of, sort of rather grim x factor in poland, in postwar poland. but as you see the action moves to paris and that's where it kind of gets both more interesting and it
6:23 am
lost me a little bit as well, because i don't know about you but i always need to feel invested in a central romance. yes, yes. i need to believe that this couple are meant to be together. absolutely. i need to buy their relationship. i mean, many people watching the film will be falling in love with her, but it is very much from the male point of view and from the male character's point of view, so i think maybe that's one of the reasons that i wasn't won over. and also, these are very selfish people. they don't really help each other in their relationships. they make quite mysterious choices. and a deliberate policy to be black and white? i mean, i know it runs from the late ‘40s to early ‘16s, doesn't it? i think it was a stylish choice that makes sense. i walked out of the screening of this one and suddenly the world, looked strange being in colour. it was just so evocative. now, i am very interested in the next one which is an interesting idea. does it work? so searching is shown entirely on computer screens, whether it's laptops, desktop computers, phones, facetime. this has happened before in the horror movie genre, but you'll be glad to know this is not a horror movie. this is a more of a thriller. it's about a missing child. so, as you can see, it starts off giving you this rather lovely
6:24 am
up—style montage of this asian american family in sanjose, who sadly, the mother passes away, and the daughter then subsequently grows up, is a teenager and she goes missing. and the father is given the task — he's played byjohn cho — of looking online and trying to find out — look at her search history, trying to find out what might be going on, whether she has run away, is something mysterious happening, was she hanging out with some unsavoury characters online? basically, every parent's worst nightmare are going through his head. and then you have an fbi agent coming in, trying to help him track her down. but i thought it was remarkably effective. you actually sort of forget after a while that you are watching one computer screen in the main. it's like sort of over — looking over someone's shoulder at a really interesting — they have something really interesting on their computer. but does that last for the duration of a while feature film? that's what interesting, isn't it? it does! it does. i've actually seen it twice now and it got me both times, not just because the first time around, you're paying detective and you're the story and it's a really tight thriller. and also, its not a very violent thriller, which is great. it shows that, you know, you can do a thrilled
6:25 am
without being violent. but also, there are little things that look like jokes — it is quite funny — but they're actually great big clues, so keep your eyes peeled. 0k. now, we must talk about idris elba. i mean, people are very excited that this wonderful actor is turning to directing. how has he done? that's right. well, i would love to say it's fantastic. it's a bit of a so—so one from me. but he'as certainly not done too badly. i think it's a solid debut. yardie the book was a cult hit in the ‘90s that people were selling out of record shops and the back of vans. it's a story of 1970s jamaica and then moving into 1980s hackney. aml ameen is terrific in the lead role and we'll in a clip that his character, d, comes over to deal drugs in the uk but finds himself falling back into kind of a family life with his ex—girlfriend and child. let's have a look. 0k. ah. that good.
6:26 am
i never tink i would feel the sun on mi face again, you know. , the first time i come this cold—ass place, mi think mi just shrivel up and die. go on, take you and bonny 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. this place is not like home at all, but mi feel safe. here? here. siren wails. 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, vanessa. she can stay with me. by the sea. he—he! so decent performances, nice sense of time and place. i found some of the dialogue just a little bit too straightforward and it's a film that very much relies on drama rather than any kind of real clever touches or comedy. i think it's worth seeing.
6:27 am
it's wonderful that he's done this and it's a milieu that we don't see much on film, but there's a bit of a way to go in terms of then directing. ok, and very much recreating the hackney that he grew up in as well, so it's nice on a human level recreating his life story. yes, and i'm sure it will go down a storm in hackney, definitely, yeah. idris elba's directorial debut. everyone very, very interested in that. now, best out. now, i won't lie — i've not had a chance to see this. i've seen the trailer quite a few times. oh my goodness. even the trailer, i was sort of slightly cringing, even watching that, even though kate mckinnon is really talented! are you going to disabuse me? well, i would agree with you because i saw the trailer and thought "i'm not looking forward this screening! i don't think this is gonna be very good!" surprise — it's one of the few ones that's actually way better than the trailer. kate mckinnon is terrific, we know from ghostbusters. she's so talented. i mean, she's brilliant. i love those sort of surreal asides that she does and slightly filthy humour, but really human humour.
6:28 am
the idea is mila kunis finds out her ex—boyfriend was a spy. they have to go on the run. hence the spy who dumped me, we should say — that is the title, yes, yes. and so, they go on the run and they end up having to do various missions. the action, disposable. but what i liked about this is it's a biddy comedy with two women that you really believe are friends. and their dialogue drives the film. their characters drive the film. their relationship drives the film. so, on that level, it's a lot of fun and much better than you might think. that's going on the poster! "much better than you might think!" i suppose that's one of the fun things about it, isn't it? you know, how often do we have two women as very much the central characters in this style of film? and a female director, susanna fogel, as well, and i'm looking forward to seeing what she does next. yeah, absolutely. yeah. and a quick thought about dvd for anyone who would like to stay in over the weekend? well, tully is a film i really enjoyed. it will keep you guessing. it stars charlize theron and it's a jason reitman
6:29 am
and diablo cody film. now, they together on juno and young adult, so two... yes, juno — one of my favourite films! amazing films, there you do. terrific! sojuno was the pregnancy one, this is the motherhood one. so charlize theron is on her third child, she's losing her grip, she needs a night nanny. so the night nanny comes in, she's called tully, played by mackenzie davis, and is everything she used to be — everything that marlo used to be, the lead character. so it's about a charismatic nanny who comes in, but what is she up to? is there a the hand that rocks the cradle element? it keeps you guessing, as i say, but it's got that razor—sharp humour the really, really dark asides that jason reitman and diablo cody do so well together. yes, they are both very talented, aren't they? and as is charlize theron, so that's a winner. that's your dvd for the week if you fancy staying in. anna, thanks very much. nice to see you! enjoy your cinemagoing, whatever you decide to see. it's quite an interesting week, isn't it? plenty to go and watch over the next seven days. bye— bye. hello, this is breakfast, with christian fraser and victoria fritz. good morning, here's a summary of today's main stories from bbc news. the prime minister has insisted
6:30 am
there will be no second referendum, or people's vote, on the uk's membership of the european union. writing in the sunday telegraph, theresa may said any such move would be a gross betrayal of our democracy. mrs may also pledged that brussels wouldn't force her into watering down her brexit plans. the shadow chancellorjohn mcdonnell says he is worried and saddened at the prospect of the labour party splitting amid the row about anit—semitism. mr mcdonnell says it's something he wants to avoid at all costs. tensions in the party have intensified following the decision by one of the party's longest serving mps frank field to resign the whip. there's been a big rise in the number of prison workers caught smuggling banned items into jails over the past six years. figures obtained by the observer show that more than 340 staff in england and wales were sacked or disciplined for passing things like drugs, weapons and mobile phones onto inmates. thats's a rise of more than 50%. the ministry ofjustice says it
6:31 am
remains vigilant to the threat posed by the corruption and wrongdoing of what it says is a very small number of staff. thousands of people have taken part in more anti migrant thousands of people have taken part in more anti—migrant protests in the germany city of chemnitz last night. a week ago, a german man was killed allegedly by two asylum seekers, triggering a series of violent demonstrations. the far—right political party in the country, the afd, or alternative for germany, has been accused of inflaming tensions. the united states says it is cancelling $300 million in military aid to pakistan. the pentagon has criticised pakistan for failing to deal with militant groups operating in the country. the decision was taken just days before the us secretary of state is due to meet the newly elected prime minister imran khan. video games which allow players to spend money on upgrades and special features within the game will soon have warning icons on their packaging.
6:32 am
from christmas a new graphic of a hand holding a credit card will appear on boxes, the warnings already on digital downloads. the aim is to warn parents and help them regulate how much money their children can spend. time to talk about sport and this man, jose mourinho. under a bit of pressure, to macro bizarre press conferences in the last week or so, now his team has to deliver. the pressure is mounting on manchester united boss jose mourinho as his side face burnley this afternoon at turf moor. they have lost two games out of the three so far this season, the worst start by united in 26 years. they are already chasing their rivals at the top of the table. yesterday, three of those hoping to be in with a shout come the end of the season continued their unbeaten starts. ben croucher looks back. take a look, this is what a happy manager looks like. jurgen klopp has
6:33 am
every right to be after liverpool beat leicester 2—1 to stay top. it looked like a routine performance when firmino nodded them to do the good but the goalkeeper they brought in to replace the one that made too many mistakes didn't exactly help matters. fortunately allison's howeller didn't hurt his side. what a horrible game i'm in for allison, what a way to concede your first goal of the season. we know it's a fantastic goalkeeper, he made fantastic goalkeeper, he made fantastic saves again. in this situation of course he didn't do what he should have done, but all good. hands up if you've also made it four from good. hands up if you've also made it fourfrom four, good. hands up if you've also made it four from four, no guesses why chelsea are smiling right now. lovely play, hazard. hazard and pedro's late goals against bournemouth kept pedro's late goals against bournemouth kethosey level with liverpool, just behind manchester city, ten years after middle eastern ownership and the riches that brings. the man that put them ahead
6:34 am
against newcastle cost £49 million, sterling. newcastle had one shot in the first half, that's all they needed, giving pep 22 ponder but i'm sure giving the ball to kyle walker at halftime wasn't what he told them to do. what a way to get your first goalfor the club. to do. what a way to get your first goal for the club. and his first goal for the club. and his first goalfor111 games. goal for the club. and his first goal for 111 games. what goal for the club. and his first goalfor111 games. what a goal for the club. and his first goal for 111 games. what a feeling. it's been a long time coming. i'm thankful to get the three points, that's the most important thing, and luckily i scored. what west ham wouldn't give for results to swing in their favour. the field entertainment was unique, on field it was all too familiar and traore's late strike won it for wolves. what's it like being a west ham fan right now? yeah. ben croucher, bbc news. in the scottish premiership, hearts, without manager craig levein, who continues his recovery after being taken to hospital this week, beat st mirren to make it four wins from four. steven naismith scored a first half hatrick, this his third goal. he made the other as hearts won 4—1 to keep their place at the top of the table.
6:35 am
it will be steven gerrard's first old firm derby as manager of rangers at midday. celtic boss brendan rodgers has prasied his former player who took over at rangers in the summer. looking at them and analysing them, stephen's done a very good job since going in. pulled together a lot of players and i think what is key is they've brought in some good players, you know? players of a higher level. england's series with india is dramatically poised heading into the fourth day at southampton. they'll resume this morning on 260—8, that's a lead of 233. england's top order once again struggled with the bat and they looked in real trouble when captainjoe root was run out, but some brilliant batting from jos buttler helped steer the hosts towards a competitive total. he reached his half century and although england lost late wickets they'll still hope they can pull off a victory that would see them clinch the series with one test still to play. obviously seeing the wear and tear

on the wicked, it spun even in the first innings as well, quite a bit of rough outside the right—hander‘s off stump, so promising for moeen and adil, and the seamers have seen variable bounce. so nice to see the ru ns variable bounce. so nice to see the runs on the board. ferrari have their best chance in years of winning their home grand prix later today, that's after kimi raikkonen upset the form book by clocking the fastest lap in the history of formula one during qualifying at monza. it's ferrari's first italian grand prix pole since 2010 when they last won the race. championship rivals sebastian vettel and lewis hamilton are second and third on the grid. we gave it everything we could. it's obviously incredibly close between us obviously incredibly close between us but they've had the upper hand all weekend. everyone is working
6:37 am
ha rd all weekend. everyone is working hard in the team to make the difference. it's incredibly close, as you can see, which is great for the sport, great for the fans, even if it is ferrari fans! novak djokovic is looking in good shape to claim a third us open title. the sixth seed cruised into the last sixteen with a straight sets win over the flamboyant frenchman richard gasquet. djokovic seemed far more comfortable playing under the lights in the evening after having played his first two matches in searing daytime temperatures. djokovic is on course to meet roger federer in the quarter—finals. federer brushed past nick kyrigios. the 5—time champion beat the australian in straight sets as he progressed in to the second week of the grand slam. and in the women's draw, maria sharapova is into the second week of the tournament. she had a dominant straight sets victory over latvia'sjelena ostapenko. sharapova has now won all 23 matches that she's played at night at flushing meadows. last year's beaten finalists exeter chiefs have made a winning
6:38 am
start to the new premiership season, thrashing leicester tigers by 40—6. such was the chiefs' dominance, leicester only managed to get into the exeter 22 once during the entire match. they ran in six tries overall for a bonus—point victory. meanwhile, gloucester new boy danny cipriani played a pivotal role as he helped them to a 27—16 win over northampton saints. he admitted to common assault after an incident at a jersey nightclub two weeks ago, but showed his quality on the pitch to seal the victory. it's also the first weekend of the pro 14 as glasgow warriors came from behind to beat connacht 27—26 in the tightest of games. it's also the first weekend of the pro 14 as glasgow warriors edged connacht 27— 26. this drop goal from stuart hogg gave the warriors a one—point lead. with the clock on red, connacht had a chance to snatch victory but craig ronaldson smacked the outside of the post as glasgow ran out winners. there were also wins for ulster and munster. tottenham hotspurs son heung—min who will now avoid military

service for south korea after helping his country beat japan in the asian games football final. south korea scored twice in extra—time to before 2—1. korean captain son burst into tears at the final whistle after sprinting from the bench to embrace his teammates. afterwards he thank his club side, spurs. —— thanked. really, really thank you for spurs for them to allow me to go to hear. to allow me to go to the asian games, so i'm really thanking for... nothing to say, amazing feeling. great story. he is 26 and you have to do military service at 28. to put it in perspective, it's like elvis going to the military in the 1970s. he's an icon in south korea but
6:40 am
because he won the gold in the asian games he is exempt. i like the fact he burst into tears. emotional moment. david, thanks very much indeed. tour de france winner geraint thomas will be cheered on by a home crowd today as the tour of britain gets underway in carmathenshire in south wales later. he'll bejoined by more of the world's top cyclists, including chris froome, with thousands of spectators expected to line the route. and for the first time in the history of the tour, the riders will race through a building. sarah ransome has been to find out more. there's a bespoke welcome in wales for the start of britain's biggest professional cycle race, 120 elite riders will saddle up, including geraint thomas, fresh from his stunning success in the tour de france, he'll be flexing his pedal power on home turf hoping to add a greenjersey to power on home turf hoping to add a green jersey to the yellow one already in the wardrobe. with eight stages zigzagging around britain, from carmarthen to cumbria and a finish in london, the race
6:41 am
teams say they've worked hard to create an unpredictable route with a few surprises along the way, including one in the heart of a small market town in north devon. for the first time in tour of britain history, the cyclists are going to have to go through a building, and its best victorian pannier market in south molton. it's a place more used to shopping than sporting activities, but those cyclists, the motorcycle out riders and the police cars are all had going to have to go through this doorway and it's going to be a tight squeeze. doorway and it's going to be a tight squeeze. excitement has been building ever since the call came. everyone seems to have gone bike crazy. it's absolutely fantastic. about five months ago i had this call out of the blue and they asked me if the tour of britain could come through market, was totally taken aback andi through market, was totally taken aback and i said yes, i had to keep it quiet for three or four months, couldn't even tell my councillors,
6:42 am
couldn't even tell my councillors, couldn't even tell them a and she had to keep it quiet as well. this normally busy building will be cleared and a grandstand built through the night so spectators get the chance to see their cycling heroes at close quarters. i'm a big cycling fan and having team sky, the otherworldly teams riding through here. my son's going to be here watching his hero chris froome ride through, but to have the peloton coming through here, have world stars riding through our town is phenomenal. and stallholders are happy to share their space with visitors and competitors alike. any event that comes through this town and introduces people to see south molton, which is a fantastic, you know, working, interesting town, it enables us to share the town with people who don't know it. and this is where the cyclists will emerge. at 100m from start to finish, it won't take them long to pass through and head onto the coast. but the
6:43 am
memory of their visit and the impact on this small rural town will last far, far longer. sarah ransome, bbc news, south molton. huge crowds out for that. i'm a new enthusiast for cycling. we had a chat while there was doing her report, turns out you're a bit of a cyclist. i'm really not, i did the london bike ride recently, 100 miles, i got to the top of box hill, ultimate respect for mountain climbers! i'm nota ultimate respect for mountain climbers! i'm not a cyclist but i have huge fun. really addictive. on hoping when they go through the building the peloton will be quite slim, there's not much on either side —— i'm hoping. you won't want to be bunching through the building. you won't, real safety hazard! i think it will be quite british, after you, after you! i'm sure, we had loads of people watching us in the raina had loads of people watching us in the rain a few weeks ago and louise and naga did it. i'm sure there will be lots out for that bike ride and
6:44 am
i'm going to be watching. absolutely. if you are watching you might want to know what's going on with the weather and we will have that in a moment. but first... the headlines: theresa may says she won't give in to those who want another eu referendum. there's been a big rise in the number of staff caught smuggling banned items into prisons. here's stav with a look at this morning's weather. we were saying, it is very warm coming into work this morning. that's right. and it was a lovely day yesterday, 25 degrees. a bit more clout across the west but today, a fairly warm start in places but one or two. to get across the south—east. today is going to be
6:45 am
another fairly warm on. south—east. today is going to be anotherfairly warm on. some sunshine, the best of it again across the east as we start of clear and fresh. even some spots of rain will tie in with this weather system. as we had through sunday and into monday. we will see a lot of fine, dry weather. light winds across england and wales. breezy for scotla nd across england and wales. breezy for scotland and northern ireland. a lovely day, a lovely morning, a lovely day, a lovely morning, a lovely afternoon. sunshine in places with temperatures reaching 25, maybe 26 degrees in one of two places. even here, any sunny spells are going to feel quite warm. just a few spots of rain in towards cumbria as this cloud thickens up. the eastern side of scotland doing very well. across the west, the rain will be tapping up with fairly strong winds.
6:46 am
the same for northern ireland. it will continue to sink slowly south eastwards. behind it, skies clear and this cooler air. much chillier and this cooler air. much chillier and to the night. further south, a bit more clout around and across the south—east, a warm and fairly muggy night. there is the weather front through central parts of the country. it will be the dividing line between something cooler and fresher and brighter to the north and west. it looks like that cooler airwillwin and west. it looks like that cooler air will win out. central errors will have a band of cloud. some spots of rain on it. scotland and northern ireland could see some sunny spells. across the south—east, some sunshine, another warm day. compare that to 14, 15 across northern scotland. then the weather
6:47 am
front slips its way to the south—east. most places will see variable cloud and sunny spells. it looks like most of the week will stay dry thanks to an area of high pressure. the week ahead, dry and a little bit cooler. we'll be back with the headlines at 7:00. 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,
6:48 am
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 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
6:49 am
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 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? 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.
6:50 am
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. 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.
6:51 am
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! until next time, parisa, thank you very much. thank you. now, in my experience, one of the big themes of almost
6:52 am
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, is that we all want to make sure our homes are safe. it has the sensors, it even has the photo sensor which take five photographs every time a movement triggers it, that's of course only when the alarm is actually set, but 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.
6:53 am
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. 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.
6:54 am
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. 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
6:55 am
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. 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 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.
6:56 am
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 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 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.
6:57 am
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. 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
6:58 am
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? 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. welcome to breakfast with christian fraser and victoria fritz. our headlines today: standing firm on brexit.
6:59 am
theresa may says she won't give in to those who want another referendum. a big rise in the number of staff caught smuggling banned items into prisons. and video games which allow players to spend money on upgrades and special features will soon carry a warning icon. in sport, under pressure jose mourinho is again in the spotlight as his misfiring manchester united face a tricky trip to burnley in the premier league.
