could face a fine of £500,000. for many of us cold calls are a daily torments. the financial conduct authorities says some 2.7 billion nuisance calls texts and e—mails were made over the past year. that works out to be about 50 calls, texts and e—mails sent to every single adult in the country. many are made by companies offering to settle personal injury claims, or to settle personal injury claims, or to claim back ppi, payment protection insurance. but from now on these companies will have to check first that the recipient has explicitly received —— agreed to receive those calls and messages. please do not face fines of up to £500,000, and people are encouraged to report them to the information commissioner's office. some company

will see the change in law and desist from activity. when they don't, i'm afraid people will have to complain. the ico does need the information from people about these calls, and she will then tackle, use her powers and slowly but surely, we will get on top of it and they will com pletely will get on top of it and they will completely cease. campaigners say the new rules to not go far enough. he will not example stop calls from fraudsters and note that firms based overseas are not covered. the issue of consent, they argue, is a red herring and they would prefer to see the authorities ruled that unsolicited direct marketing calls are not a legitimate way of doing business. the former shadow business secretary, chuka umunna, will make a speech today urging jeremy corbyn to ‘call off the dogs' and stop labour mps being targeted for criticising the party leadership. mr umunna will say there is a danger of the centre—left tradition being driven out after two labour mp's lost votes of no confidence among their local party members. a labour source called the comments

stuff that is coming out of this white house, and then saying, don't worry, we're preventing the other 10%. that is not how things are supposed to work. this is not normal. these are extraordinary times. and they are dangerous times. he said, what did you think of president 0bama's speech? and i said, i'm sorry, iwatched it president 0bama's speech? and i said, i'm sorry, i watched it but i fell asleep.

track —— truck plastic below the surface. it is meant to allow fish to swim underneath it. —— trap. some are worried that the system can harm wildlife. there is concern that the passive floaters rather than fish, mammals, clinton, they simply cannot get out of the way of this, they will be crammed into this and not be able to escape. —— plankton. will be crammed into this and not be able to escape. -- plankton. they wa nt to able to escape. -- plankton. they want to eventually deploy 60 devices. the estimate of full roll—out will clean up half of the great pacific garbage patch within five years. the wildlife presenter johnny kingdom, who has been described as ‘one of the last true characters of rural britain', has died. the filmmaker and photographer, who was famous for his documentaries about exmoor, is believed to have been killed in an accident involving a digger. the 79—year—old made several tv series including ‘johnny kingdom's year with the birds'. his family said ‘a legend had been lost‘. a couple from lancashire are getting married today,

our top story today about a new crackdown on cold callers. the times leads on the proposed changes to the divorce law in england and wales, saying the ‘revolution puts an end to the blame game'. borisjohnson‘s personal life is on the front pages of a few of the papers. the daily mail claims mrjohnson was cheating on his wife, marina wheeler, ‘at the height of the chequers crisis'. and the guardian claims a russian exile found dead in his london home had previously survived a poisoning attempt by two men from moscow. the paper says detectives are re—investigating the incident. 0nline, tributes are pouring in for american rapper mac miller, who's died at the age of 26 from an apparent drug overdose. the rollingstone website describes him as a ‘prolific rapper who underwent artistic reinvention‘ and features an interview with the artist, which was published earlier this week. you‘re watching

looks like north—western parts of england and northern wales will have the dampness of the weather and on the dampness of the weather and on the satellite there is a lot of clout out there that is rolling in. not everyone will be stuck underneath the cloud, the cloud is getting into wales in the north—west of england and it will be sliding through the central part of the uk, so through the central part of the uk, so the top of the bottom of the country will have some dry weather. you can see the rain moving through northern england and northern parts of wales, but in scotland, for a change, scotland and northern ireland have the best of the weather, across the highlands around the murray firth, aberdeenshire has beautiful weather. not so bad in the lowla nds beautiful weather. not so bad in the lowlands of scotland, finds the belfast and then we have the —— fine for belfast. then we have the grey cloud across northern england, wales, the south coast if you are

looking across the english channel the weather should be good. the north of the countries is the best of the weather and the far south, and then through tonight the rain clears away and there is another area of rain coming in again, so tonight we will call it damp through central part of the uk. a lot more mild first thing tomorrow morning, this morning we had single fingers. when i was coming it was really chilly. —— single figures. 0n sunday, this low pressure system means increasing wins and some showers for scotland and northern ireland, so tomorrow in scotland and northern ireland over greater chance to sure of catching some rain, hardly any chance today. the rest of the country tomorrow is not bad at all. sunday across england and wales looking fine and quite warm. next week from monday into tuesday, an interesting thing is happening. it is somewhat of a heatwave developing

across parts of europe, and it looks as though, i am skipping ahead to tuesday year, it looks as though some of it is just going to clip the southern parts of the uk. temperatures in the south of the country next week will be rising back up to summertime figures, whereas in the north it looks like that cooler weather is going to persist. you‘re absolutely right, it isa persist. you‘re absolutely right, it is a real mixed bag over the next few days, but hints at something some are like in the south coming early next week. but we are looking at the weekends are now. we are about to talk about the shetland isles that have featured in drama and super popular. how is that —— how is the whether they are? it is normally blasted by gales. they are having beautiful weather today, they are being blasted by sunshine. if you win in the shetland islands you are a winner already. you get is

to it, you have reinforced umbrellas. just like broadchurch or baker street, the shetland islands have captured visitors‘ imaginations, thanks to a popular crime thriller based there. they‘re experiencing a tourist boom because of shetland, a tv drama based on novels by author ann cleeves. as the final book in the series is released, our reporter jothohnston has been to see the set for himself. shetland. the crime drama has enjoyed worldwide success with its likeable characters, strong storylines, and not to mention the bleak windswept scenery. this place looks like a much better place to come to. when you read the news, everything seems terrible and i think people are taking comfort in irish murders. but the order ann cleeves is bidding farewell to the popular detective. she has released a final novel, wildfire. well, i

cannot tell you whether the ending is tragic andjimmy dies or cannot tell you whether the ending is tragic and jimmy dies or whether it is happy and he goes off into the sunset with the love of his life. because you will need to read the book to do that. but i can tell you that the tv series will continue. since the series first aired in 2013, thousands of tourists, many from cruise ships, have been heading to shetland on the trail of the murders. we have visitors from america, australia, and i suppose specifically scandinavia who get the detective mooloolah. this must be the actual house. —— noir. detective mooloolah. this must be the actual house. -- noir. we came to see this lovely scenery which we have been seeing in the tv series and reading about in the books. we enjoy the stories and the mystery of trying to solve the puzzles before

the detective does. set. at action. filming is already under way for series five. it is quite a tough storyline. and it gets quite gothic. towards the end. so, yeah, buckle up. jimmy! fans will have to wait until early next year for yet more shetland noir. it looks amazing. it does, beautiful scenery, and if the weather is good this weekend then enjoy it. we‘ll bring you the headlines at 6:30. time now on breakfast for the film review. hello and welcome to the film review.

to take us through this week‘s cinema releases is mark kermode. welcome. very interesting week. we have american animals, which is stranger—than—fiction true story. we have the nun, an un—frightening frightener. and we have puzzle, which is a romance set against the backdrop of competitive jigsaw puzzling. promising! american animals. let‘s start there. that seems like a peculiar conceit as well. trying to steal some books from a library? it isa it is a very strange story. based on a true story of this university heist from kentucky in 2004, a group of hapless young men decided they were going to steal these rare books from a university library. and the film basically centres on the central introverted character spencer, and warren, who is described as being the spice,

the person resent who brings the element of chaos. what happens is we see these youngsters who are basically dissolute and they feel that their lives are not going anywhere, they feel they are not fulfilling their potential suddenly decide they‘re going to pull off a heist, despite the fact they have absolutely no idea how to do it and there being very little chance of being able to pull it off. here‘s a clip. the cameras are not cameras. they're motion detectors. we're going to e—mail the library asking to have the audubon and the illuminated manuscript on display when we arrived. they will be here, and here. please don't touch it. as i was saying, but here is target priority number one. the audubon. directly behind the display case is a doorway which leads to a staff elevator that

leads us to the basement. now, once in the basement, we can access the fire exit at the side of the building. where is the librarian? thank you. the librarian is the single biggest risk to this entire operation. she needs to become a non—factor as soon as possible. so what is interesting about this is on the one hand, you have the tension between the dramatised story and the actual real—life events being told to us in ways that contradict each other, so you get that kind of unreliable narrator thing. the other thing is that basically, it is a character study about how it is that these boys decided to pull off this heist. their planning is that they watch a bunch of heist movies like reservoir dogs. they say all the way through no—one is going to get hurt but they have not figured out how no—one is going to get hurt. it is like watching a car crash unfolding in slow motion. it has got this really interesting take on the way in which they feel

like they‘re lives somehow are not coming together and somehow doing this going to give them some sense of purpose. also, they all talk each other into doing it, despite the fact that it is completely haphazard. and what i liked about the film is that when it needs to gets dark, it is not afraid of doing so. i mean, there is an underlying sort of growing horror about what happens and how it happens and now, looking back on it, reflecting, and also, as i said, all the way through you get this tension between the the dramatised narratives. i thought it was really fascinating. primarily, because it is a character study. it is about them as characters and about how this completely sort of half—witted thing came together. also about the myth of no—one will get hurt. second film. the nun. your son had a very strong critic of it. he has been to seen all of the—

this from the conjuring cinematic universe. i know you are a huge fan of all of those films. this is a prequel. i went with him because, brilliantly, my son like horror movies like i do. we both agreed it was the most boring horror movie we‘d seen in a very long time. it‘s set in a remote convent. a satanic force is threatening to break out in the form of this nun that basically looks like a bad marilyn manson impersonator. we have a priest and the most irritating psychic in movie history whose catchline is "i‘m french—canadian". yes, it is that funny. and all the way through, you‘re looking for these bang scares so that you willjump. the only moment ago in the film when ijunped when i was watching and became so bored, i started to fall asleep you know that thing regular about to fall asleep and you suddenly find yourself falling asleep and you jump? and that was the only moment in the film. it was quite nice seeing it was a man who was absolutely

target audience and have seen all the other ones and i said, was it just me? i would probably like it because i am a whiz. you would be bored. just under these drab grey colours. it is only half lit and the story is really ponderous. i will tell you how bad it is. there‘s a sequence in it where someone is buried alive and i‘m really claustrophobic. that face that you‘re pulling now is my reaction to some body getting buried alive. in this scene, i literally don‘t care. it is that bad. at least it is set in transylvania, which is a bit... isn‘t it? it is set in this kind of gothic castle with people wandering around. very slowly, doing sort of... it is rubbish. i will take your word for it but i do like the sound of puzzle. who knew that such a thing as competitive puzzling even existed? i had no idea. this takes inspiration from a 2009 argentinian film, which i confess i have not seen. kelly macdonald plays this mousy housewife was put upon by her husband and by her family. she spends her whole life cleaning up after other people. we see a party at the beginning

and we don‘t even realise it is her party because she is cleaning up after her birthday. she is given a jigsaw puzzle and it seems to be very calming and she said herfriend, "where did you get the jigsaw puzzle from?" she said when she goes to the shop and he‘s another proposed are seeking a partner for competitive jigsaw puzzling. she answers it on a whim and the next thing is, she meets up with a strange inventor who hit lucky once and now dedicates his life to puzzling. and it is something that they have in common. here is a clip. why are we wasting all this time doing puzzles? what else is there to do? it's a childish hobby for bored people. you know that's not true. tell me you're not a bored rich guy. tell me i'm not a childish housewife. no, that is not what you are. you're much more important things to do.

you're a man of ideas. why do you do these stupid puzzles? it's a way to control the chaos. that‘s ridiculous. come on. you're missing the point. 0k. what is the point, robert? life is messy. it does not make any sense. sorry to break the news to you. life is just random. i love the interaction between these characters. i love the way they are both played. i love how understated it is. and what happens is, when you go into it you think, "ok, i‘m not entirely sure this is going to work." you get completely drawn in. you see her start to find her feet, start to find her own, you know, individuality and independence. you see this relationship of them and it‘s played out over jigsaw puzzles.

and it becomes a story of somebody breaking out of the confines of a suffocating life. i thought it was really, really touching. you know, the best films can creep up on you i mean, not creep up on you the way that the nun creeps up on you — or doesn‘t — but you don‘t realise that how bogged you are until you find yourself being swept up. that was really, really touching and charming. not least because those two central performances, about the central characters, you want to know more about them. i thought it was great. i think you would really like it. i think i will. i never look at a jigsaw puzzle in the same way again. i never knew there were such a thing as competitive jigsaw! neither did i. i should look out for it. now best out? cold war. it should be austere, is it not? it is a romance that plays out over 15 years. it was inspired to go for inspired by the story of the director‘s

pa rents. it starts in poland in the late 40s and goes over 15 years and crosses boundaries, musical and personal and political. you know, it has four by three square frame black and white. you would think it is kind of... but it is not. it is really passionate, it has got real hearts to it. it‘s about this relationship. it cannot be with each other, they cannot be apart from each other. i thought it was wonderful. i‘ve seen it a couple of times. the second time around, you know, the best films when you see them the second time around you notice a whole lot of things you did not see the first time. also, it is a long time period that it covers but the film is 90 minutes. it‘s compact and beautifully told. and it reminded me, i mean, isay this — it reminded me little bit of casablanca. the story is nothing like casablanca but it has that archetypal romance thing and it was really beautiful and i loved before. and i love the fact that it inspired by the story of his parents, although it is not the story of his parents — they just inspired the characters. again, you really should see it if you have a chance. best dvd.

mary shelley. yes. i picked this because got overlooked in the cinema. it is the story of writing frankenstein. you know, some critics were kind of quite harsh on it, saying that it was taking liberties with the books. i felt it didn‘t really, a really good job. i mean, it is not perfect but what it is is interesting, it is kind of trying to reclaim the story, it is trying to tell in a different way. again, i went into it worrying that would not get on with it and i did and it didn‘t do terrifically well in the cinemas but now, you can catch up on on things that you missed out in cinemas with dvds and it is definitely worth giving it a go because i thought it was much better than people give it credit for. thank you very much as always. thank you. a quick reminder that you will find more film news and reviews online on the bbc website. and you can find all of our previous programmes on the bbc iplayer. thank you for watching.

goodbye. hello, this is breakfast with ben thompson and sally nugent. here‘s a summary of today‘s main stories from bbc news. new powers come into force today which the government hopes will stop nuisance cold calls from personal injury and claim management firms. 2.7 billion of these calls were made in the uk over the past year, but you‘ll now need to opt in to enable companies to contact you. businesses that don‘t comply could face a fine of £500,000. some companies will see the new change in the law and they will desist. when they don‘t, i‘m afraid they —— people are going to have to complain. the ico does need information from people about these calls and then she would tackle, use her powers and slowly but surely we will get on top of that and they will get on top of that and they will completely cease. the former shadow business secretary, chuka umunna, will make a speech today urging jeremy corbyn to ‘call off the dogs‘ and stop labour mp‘s being targeted for criticising the party leadership. mr umunna will say there is a danger of the centre—left tradition

being driven out after two labour mp‘s lost votes of no confidence among their local party members. a labour source called the comments "incoherent and inaccurate". the first member of president trump‘s election team to plead guilty to offences during the 2016 campaign has been sentenced to two weeks injail. george papadopoulos, who was a foreign policy adviser, admitted lying to fbi agents investigating whether the trump campaign colluded with russia — something the president has repeatedly denied. former us president barack 0bama has said his country is living through dangerous times, as he launched an attack on donald trump. in a speech to students in illinois, the ex—president called for a restoration of ‘honesty‘ and ‘decency‘ and urged americans to vote in the mid—term elections in november. donald trump said the speech had sent him to sleep and pointed to the strength of the economy. they are not doing us a service. by

actively promoting 90% of the crazy stuff that is coming out of this white house, and then saying, don‘t worry, we‘re preventing the other 10%. that's worry, we‘re preventing the other 10%. that‘s not how things are supposed to work. this is not normal. these are extraordinary times. and they are dangerous times. they said, "what did you think of president 0bama's speech? " they said, "what did you think of president 0bama's speech? i said i'm sorry, i watched it, president 0bama's speech? i said i'm sorry, iwatched it, but president 0bama's speech? i said i'm sorry, i watched it, but i fell asleep. i found i'm sorry, i watched it, but i fell asleep. ifound he is very i'm sorry, i watched it, but i fell asleep. i found he is very good, very good for sleeping. it‘s emerged that a russian exile who was murdered in britain last march believed that two men from moscow had tried to poison him five years earlier. nikolai glushkov, a former deputy director of the russian airline aeroflot, was found apparently strangled at his home in south—west london, a week after ex—spy sergei skripal and his daughter yulia were poisoned in salisbury. the american rapper mac miller has been found dead at his home

in los angeles after an apparent drug overdose. the 26—year—old, whose real name is malcolm mccormick, previously dated pop singer, ariana grande. fans and fellow musicians have been paying tribute to him on social media. he had just released a new album and was due to go on tour next month. now the image of two birds we are about to show you might at first seem cute, but it doesn‘t tell the full story. the northern wheatear was being pursued by the young sparrowhawk across a boat, before the bird of prey crashed into a window and knocked itself out. to add insult to injury, the wheatear landed for a moment on the stunned hawk to pose for the camera then flew off. the sparrowhawk recovered after about 20 minutes. it then went on to catch another, less fortunate, bird. that really is david and goliath.

that really is david and goliathm is just kind of a that really is david and goliathm isjust kind of a smug... you did not get me this time very cute picture. mike‘s here with the sport. i was iwasa i was a little bit sad watching alastair cook yesterday. not his last innings, he will hopefully have another innings, but still... there was a bit of sadness. it goes all the way back to the first of march 2000 six. it is unthinkable to think ofa 2000 six. it is unthinkable to think of a england aside without him there. there they were yesterday, all the fans with masks, the guard of honour, a special occasion and he did not disappoint. it was all about alastair cook yesterday and he was satisfied with his knock of 71 even if india are in control going into day two at the oval.

cook was given a guard of honour, by the indian team and passed 50 for the first time this series//but he missed out on a century, when he was bowled by, jasprit bumrah, sparking a batting collapse. england are on 198/7. world number one rafael nadal, says he "will keep fighting", after he was forced to retire from his us open semifinal, againstjuan martin del potro, because of a knee injury. he‘s now 32, and won the french open earlier this summer. but he couldn‘t continue playing after the end of the second set. it‘s unclear how long he will be out for. i will keep playing at the same time, having too much pain, that was a tennis match at the end, it was just one player playing, one standing on the other side of the court. i hate to retire, but staying one more set out their playing like

this... would be too much to me. in contrast novak djockovich, looks re—juvenated. so he now faces del potro in the final. in football, scotland suffered their heaviest defeat at home, for 45 years against belgium in a friendly, ahead of their nations league opener, against albania on monday. romalu lukaku, opened the scoring in the first half, and then three goals, after the break did the damage. chelsea‘s eden hazard with one of them, mitchy batsui, pounced on a mistake, to make it 4—0. england begin their nations league competition, this evening with a sell—out fixture, against spain at wembley. it‘s their first match, since gareth southgate‘s side surpassed expectations, by reaching the world cup semifinal in russia. but the manager says they must now put that behind them and begin building for the future. for us now the summer is finished and it‘s about the next step in the next challenge. sport does not stand

silver anybody. you have to go forward , silver anybody. you have to go forward, continually involve an increase that competition, and i know the players who are of the same mentality, it is what is next that is the most important thing. captain harry kane will receive his golden boot award prior to the match, for scoring the most goals at the world cup. and he‘ll wear specially commissioned golden boots for the game. but, he was quick to play down any comparisions, with the world‘s best players such as cristiani ronaldo and lionel messi. to that in a world cup and to finish top —— top goalscorer was something i was very proud of. i don‘t think i can be up there with them yet. but thatis can be up there with them yet. but that is my aim, my aim is to improve. and yeah, the summer was great but now it is on to more things. northern ireland are also in action today, they are up against bosnia—herzegovina at windsor park. it‘s the first ever

meeting, between the two sides and they are in one of the b groups along with austria. and manager michael 0‘neill feels the new format of qualifying for the euros is a postive step. the fact that we are in the competition now, it obviously has the reward of a promotion relegation situation, but there is also the road to twe nty20, situation, but there is also the road to twenty20, so we are happy with the format and we look forward to the games and the games will prepare us for what lies ahead and europe twenty20. now the double 0lympic cycling champion, kristina vogel, says she‘s been left paralysed after sustaining a serious spinal injury when she crashed during training injune. vogel, who is also a part—time police officer, won team sprint gold at the london olympics, and the individual title, in rio four years later. she‘s only 27, and the german cycling federation says she remains in hospital in berlin, and has all their support. the final kick of the game settled a thrilling rugby union

game, in belfast in the pro 1a, as ulster beat edinburgh by a single point. edinburgh had seen a 17 point lead vanish, but went ahead again thanks to simon hickey‘s last minute penalty. ulster then raced up the other end and won their own penalty in overtime. john cooney kicked it to steal the victory. meanwhile glasgow beat last season‘s runners up munster 25—10. scotland full—back stuart hogg scored 13 points in the match. and in the premiership, northampton beat harlequins, with england captain dylan hartley scoring a try in his first match, since taking time out, to recover from concussion. warrington wolves have sealed their place in the super league play—offs. they held on to beat huddersfield giants, 26—24. castleford tigers, stay ahead of them in third place, after easing to a comfortable 28—8 victory over hull fc. england‘sjustin rose lies second after two rounds of the bmw

championship, in philadelphia. rose finished the day 11 under, two off the lead, of the american zander schauffele. northern ireland‘s rory mcilroy is on nine—under, one shot ahead of 14—time major winner tiger woods. back to alastair cook, and his teammates have been recording tribute videos, in honour of his last test. most of them compliment him as a batsman, and as a man — but bowlerjimmy anderson took a different approach. congratulations mate. it has been a right laugh. well done pal. balgo. farming this, farming that, that is all he bangs about, who cares mate. sugar retired two years ago. oh! (laughs). love that. cook always has

his farm, that is great. now, chances are we‘ve all played tag as a game in the school playground. we called it tag. we called it tick! but did you ever wish you could take it up as an actual sport? that‘s what athletes from all over the world will be doing in london this weekend. ijoined them for some training. with the adrenaline pumping, your heart racing, your hopes of survival on the edge... it‘s the hunter versus the hunted. in this high—speed game of chase. 0n the run from the hand of doom that is out to ta ke from the hand of doom that is out to take you down. it‘s the old playground game of tag that has been brought into the 21st century. in

chase take you have 20 seconds to catch your opponent. if you do that it is your turn to be chased and a chance to score a point.|j it is your turn to be chased and a chance to score a point. i think of it in terms of hunting. you have got to get them. that said, it is fight 01’ to get them. that said, it is fight orflight, so to get them. that said, it is fight or flight, so you to get them. that said, it is fight orflight, so you either catch to get them. that said, it is fight or flight, so you either catch the person or getaway. at the top level at the york hall boxing venue this sunday, athletes from around the world will be mainly free running specialists, capable of running and jumping with extreme agility and explosive speed. i loved childhood games, playing against the wall and brambles at each other and that stuff, so when i heard about the opportunity to become slightly professional at childhood game, i was straight there. and yet it all started at home with a father and son playing the game that all families do. you are really playing tag in the garden, he did not like some of the other sports are so we

just used to play loads of tag. and then got more all congregated as went along. it is lateral movement. it is the first game that everyone plays when they are young. so to make it a sport is a good idea. you a lwa ys make it a sport is a good idea. you always enter the competition as the chaser, the hunter, and you have 20 seconds to try and tag damian, so this court is a quarter of the size of the world championship one. there‘s the buzzer, we are under way. that was my chance! he survived! sweaty palms. but could i. he survived! sweaty palms. but could i, when! he survived! sweaty palms. but could i, when i became the hunted? 0h he has got me! i thought he was

going to do it. there we are. but it has a team sport, you have five members on each team and they are coming from as far afield as germany andjapan to coming from as far afield as germany and japan to try and beat the british on the big court this weekend. but exhausting. i was out, i was got. you did well! it was exhausting. and don‘t trade at home they are extreme athletes, they are parkour specialists, but they are parkour specialists, but the careful with the jumping. better way helmets because it would affect their balance and their ability to see all around them. it isjust 20 seconds around ? see all around them. it isjust 20 seconds around? fascinating. and give. let‘s find out what‘s happening with the weather. here‘s tomasz.

todayis today is going to be a little bit mixed across the uk. some of us are actually in for a fairly decent day, but only some. most of us will be stuck under the cloud. there is some rain in the forecast also. the satellite image shows a lot of cloud heading our way and some of this is already rain bearing cloud which has been moving over ireland, heading towards wales and the north—west of england as well and i think it is northern wales, the north—west of england and parts of yorkshire today where we will see most of the cloud and the outbreaks of rain which means that either side of it we are going to get some decent weather. let‘s have a look at the forecast for the middle part of the afternoon. starting with scotland, because here it is looking fine and in shetland, fine, 0rkney is a little cloudy but the highlands are looking pretty funny, the same goes for around looking pretty funny, the same goes foraround grampian, in looking pretty funny, the same goes for around grampian, in the lowland

maybe a light shower if you are unlucky, belfast is looking fairly bright as well and yorkshire, much of it stuck under a cloud with the rain too, the rain moving through wales, some of it heavy, and in the south, looking across the english channel, it is actually looking very nice. some real contrast across the country. this evening and overnight we will see an area of cloud and rain sweeping into northern areas. maybe clipping into southern scotland. 0ne difference tonight will be that the south is going to be, southern and central areas, we much milder than we had this morning. this morning was single figures but tomorrow, this time tomorrow, double figures, 13— 16 degrees. a mild start to the day. a different story for scotland and northern ireland, expecting sunshine and showers, some of us will need our brollies, the rest of the country ‘s our brollies, the rest of the country‘s may see —— country may

see some cloud. but it will not be bad. the outlook, monday into tuesday, a couple of things happening, a weather front will be slicing the country in half, north of it we have call that a coming off the atlantic, —— cooler air. scotla nd the atlantic, —— cooler air. scotland and northern ireland in the cool or most certainly but on tuesday, look at the warmth sting out of spain and portugal sofa southern parts of the uk the temperatures are rising, particularly i think the southern counties and the south—east could get into the mid 20s. in belfast, some 10 degrees lower. here, the chance of catching rain. there you have it. the yen and yang of weather. a bit of everything for everybody. —— ying. we‘ll bring you the headlines at 7:00. time now for the latest technology news in this week‘s click. this is nelson‘s column

in trafalgar square, and for over 150 years, its base has been guarded by four giant lions. but soon, these guys will be joined by a fifth, and a rather unusual one. it is arriving with the help of google, and paul carter went to find out more. protests. celebrations. mourning. trafalgar square has long been a place where voices have come together. the lions that have sat in the square since 1867 have heard them all. but what if they could speak? as part of london design festival,

a fifth lion is going to appear in the square, powered by machine learning. the result is an interactive sculpture called please feed the lions, a collaboration between designer es devlin and google arts and culture lab. members of the public will be able to feed the lions with words which, in turn, will generate poetry created by an artificial neural network. it uses an algorithm known as long short—term memory recovery neural network. snappy. it has learnt how to write by reading millions of words of 19th—century poetry relevant to the time the lions were first installed in the square. machine learning becomes a way not to replace human poetry writing, but a way to allow people who wouldn‘t normally be able to write a poem, or wouldn‘t normally think of writing a poem, to enable them to gather their words together and form a collective stream of thought, to add order to what could otherwise be chaos of people jamming together their thoughts. and you don‘t have to go to the square to take part in this.

you can go on to the website and contribute online as well. so, it‘s notjust for londoners — that is important to me. the algorithm works by learning to predict the next text character over and over again, always taking into account those that came before. similar to predictive text, it repeats this process until the condition accurately sequences words it hasn‘t seen before. when members of the public feed in words of their own, the machine will expand them into its form of poetry. once the poems have been generated, they will be projected onto a screen in the mouth of the lion, and when it gets dark, onto nelson‘s column. but, hang on a minute. isn‘t asking members of the public to input their own words asking for trouble? we have applied filters, so filters where all of the words have to be in the oxford english dictionary, and then there‘s filters against offensive words. and if you try to enter a word that the lion is not happy with, it will simply tell you, "i am unable to digest those words, please try again."

so with al and machine learning becoming more commonplace in the arts, what does the future hold for the relationship between art and technology? does technology make sense? does it add a value? because if not, then, you know, leave the art alone. but if it can be a tool, a creative tool, perhaps, or perhaps a collaborator, and i would say with the case of the lions it is both a tool and a collaborator, or perhaps it enables the arts to be accessed and experienced more broadly. sarah?! sarah!! lady, hey, lady! sarah! i found her! it‘s every parent‘s nightmare. losing sight of your child, even for a few seconds, can be terrifying. and in the dystopian future of black mirror, it leads this mother to implant her child

with an all—seeing monitoring device. 0ne slightly less invasive solution is to give them a smartphone, which means they are contactable and trackable using gps and, in fact, 83% of young teenagers in the uk now own a smartphone which, of course, raises that spectre of device addiction from an early age. so what if you had a way of knowing your child‘s location and communicating with them without the need for a smartphone? enter the norwegian xplora smartwatch — a children‘s wearable with an inbuilt sim card and a gps locator. parents can keep track of them on their app, and will get an alert if the child leaves a pre—defined safety zone. it also acts as a phone, allowing a child to ring and receive calls and texts from trusted contacts or send an sos if they feel in danger. sounds like a good idea, but wherever there‘s tracking, there‘s the worry of hacking,

and the boss, jesus llamazares, admits it‘s a very sensitive issue. as a parent of young kids myself, i want to know they are safe and want to know where they are, but i also don‘t want anyone else to know where they are. there is the worry of hacking with any kind of location tracking. yeah, we have been working intensively with the data protection agencies in norway and germany, and also with a third party, tuv, which is a very world—recognised certifying partner for security services. do you think there is a danger that we are moving towards a society where we are happy to constantly surveil our children and family? are we moving towards a world where there is no privacy? and do you think there is an age at which kids do not need to wear this kind of device? these devices are designed for kids below the moment they have a smartphone.

there are also some use cases that we try to promote all the time around health — that is, if your child is going for a football match or doing some activity out in the air, sometimes a smartphone is not the best thing to wear, but a smartwatch is able to keep you connected, right? so there are some use cases, even for teenage years, where the watch is quite useful. the increasing worry is that the kids have all the time with the tablets, with their devices, and we want them to go out play, notjust be connected, with the family, no access to social media, etc, but as well, the outside, injoy and experience out of your home, right? with your friends and your family. not being all the time with their tablets. now, i think it is fair to say we have a pretty fun job

here on click. but there is one company which dedicates a whole day every year to letting its employees simply play. and kate russell went to see just what difference that can make. the late great sir george bernard shaw is said to have said, "we don‘t stop playing because we grow old, we grow old because we stop playing." i‘ve come along to lego headquarters in london to find out more about the science behind play. for lego employees, the seventh of september is play day, when they take time off from their normal duties to have fun with the products at the heart of the business. i think the play day is a time for us to get back to understanding our own motives, get back to understanding why we are here, the department that you are in, to think about the fact that i might be in r&d, i might be in finance, but at the end of the day, i am here to get the smile on kids‘ faces. you‘ll get no argument from me that day of play is good for the spirit, but is there a scientific reason why

it could be good for our health? that is the question scientists at the university of london want to answer. so, this is a unprecedented exploratory research project to try to understand the effect of play on workforces. we have a controlled environment at the beginning, a regular workday, and then we have a play day where they are exposed throughout the day to a variety of play interventions. and then we have a day after, in which we can examine the residual affect of the play day on the individuals. today, they are running a proof of concept pilot to see what results a serious study might turn up in the future. a small group of volunteers have been connected to heart rate monitors to measure the physiological effect of stimulating play throughout a series of different activities. they will also be self—reporting the psychological effects by answering a series of specially designed questions through a chat bot. so ian is the man with the tech. what is that? so this is a high—resolution heart monitor. it‘s 1000 hertz.

you put it under your top, in contact with the skin, put that around the back, and clip it on. brilliant. and go play. and then go play. oh, if i must! i am a big roller—coasterfan, and what better way to get your heart racing? so i recruited mini me and mini spencer for some good old —fashioned play. critics claimed that the brain controls the speed of our heartbeats based on what‘s going on around us. when we need greater concentration or to handle stressful situations, it speeds up the heart, increasing blood flow. then the heart slows back down again when we enter a period of rest and recovery. it looks like mini spencer might need a longer period of convalescence after that ride. spencer: yeah, i was bricking it, to be honest. what are the results you expect to get from the baseline versus the play day with our lego people? so, what we‘re expecting to see

is really getting good engagement. the scores will go down as they need more energy, more concentration on the really difficult tasks. and really good recoveries as well, because they are enjoying it. so once they have had that stressful moment, they should be able to bounce back and recover really quickly ready for the next one. if you are constantly stressed and on edge, you won‘t experience the peaks and troughs associated with healthy brain—heart activity. there is a difference between acute stress and chronic stress. acute stress you‘d expect. if a lion pops up behind you, then fight or flight is the right response. if you have long—term stress, chronic stress, then that can be much more negative indication. 0h! i think everybody is really excited now. there is a whole renewed energy worldwide around well—being in the workplace and trying to understand how we can better motivate and engage with workforces and employees, and i think play is an interesting and innovative way to do that. the results are in from this pilot and they suggest certain types of play could help workers recover more quickly from stressful periods.

and crucially, might help raise levels of confidence and creativity in certain personality types. i guess i am the type of personality that would quite happily sit in a spinning top all day. spencer! can we get one of these in the office, please? so that is what is rofl means — rolling on the floor laughing. thank you. yes, we will get one for you, kate. don‘t forget, we live on facebook and twitter. thanks for watching. see you soon. good morning, welcome to breakfast with sally nugent and ben thompson. 0ur headlines today: cutting off cold callers — from today companies who pester people without their permission risk fines of up to £500,000.
