10:30 pm
‘ should ‘should be "wflr be: mar ii‘ul‘ei they should be during the day. slight easing of the wins on tuesday but it will be a windy day across the board but it will be a windy day across the boa rd and but it will be a windy day across the board and a wet one in northern and western areas and rain will affect england and wales but as i mentioned, more stormy weather this week and no sooner do we say goodbye to that low—pressure this area could bring windy weather, particularly further north. goodbye. hello. this is bbc news. we'll be taking a look at tomorrow morning's papers in a moment. first, the headlines. theresa may has revealed her frustration with the continued speculation over her leadership, as the prime minister defends her brexit plan. a super—typhoon is battering the chinese province of guangdong, after hitting the northern philippines, where it killed dozens of people. warnings in the us that the worst is still to come from hurricane florence, which has so far caused the deaths of at least 12 people. wiltshire police have cordoned off prezzo restaurant in salisbury high street and some surrounding roads after a man and a woman fell ill there tonight.
10:31 pm
and with six months to go until the uk leaves the eu, the click team looks at new technologies that could be used at borders after brexit. that's in half an hour here on bbc news. quite intimidating to read the headlines in front of a former newsreader! hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are author and columnist at the evening standard, tony evans and penny smith, journalist and broadcaster. many of tomorrow's front pages are already in. the telegraph splashes with borisjohnson‘s warning to the prime minister that her irish brexit plan is a disaster. and the main image is a beaming victoria beckham celebrating the london fashion week debut of her collections. the i leads with the challenge to theresa may's eu exit plan
10:32 pm
by brexiteers, as supporters of a no—deal option launch their "chuck chequers" campaign this week. michael gove, on the other hand, has urged tory rebels to back the chequers plan, with the metro reporting that the environment secretary says a future prime minister could renegotiate once britain has left the eu. and your daily aspirin could actually be damaging your health, if you are over 70, that's according to a study featured on the front of the daily express. shall we start with brexit? i wonder when i won't say that one night! the metro, michael gove, telling ribose, possibly surprisingly, that they should get behind the plan because it can be dealt with later if necessary. it's quite difficult because as we know, we voted for brexit so we'd better get a move on.
10:33 pm
and we knew it was coming up soon. we had all these people and lots of money going into how to sort it and now we're saying, it's really sorted, so we'll do this thing where we have everything as it was before but we won't have anything like any of the perks but we'll go out and then get divorced. it's like shipping the children off to the mother and saying, you do the kitchen units for a bit and we'll sort it out later. in other words, nothing has got done. they'll say, do it later. but no one has said, we can do this. is it going to be a work in progress because no one has done it before? there is a transition period and over time, things are going to change. or is it
10:34 pm
more about michael gove and his ambitions? definitely about his ambitions. he's getting behind the chequers plan, a plan that the eu have said won't fly. if michael gove is getting behind me i'd be checking my back for the knife. the lease trust were the men in westminster, he'd be in the top five.” trust were the men in westminster, he'd be in the top five. i think we'd better clarify, when you say least trustworthy, you mean in terms of rivalry... ? least trustworthy, you mean in terms of rivalry. . . ? political ambition. i'm sure you could trust him with your home and minding the kids. not an issue there but when it comes to political ambition, he has more than most. if i were theresa may i'd be nervous. the people most committed to getting britain out of the european community have no idea how it can be done. they haven't come up with anything else. here we have it
10:35 pm
in thei with anything else. here we have it in the i newspapers. what are they going to replace it with? they probably don't know. they have this view of brexit that everything will turn out all right in the end because we are british. but it might. it's very unlikely. do you wa nt might. it's very unlikely. do you want it to? what i want is the country to have the most successful trading relationships with the rest of the world, so we grow wealthier. you have business, people from business standing up and saying, we saw this week, leading car manufacturer saying that the supply chain will be in trouble if brexit happens, not sure if they can keep going, but the brexiteers shout them down and say you're wrong. some brexiteers at the top of business say that it's going to be great, sir james dyson says it will be good. say that it's going to be great, sir james dyson says it will be goodm will be good for him because he took
10:36 pm
his company out of the uk and over to thailand and sacked the workers. it's going to be great forjames dyson, he's got his millions. it is the poor who are going to suffer. the daily telegraph, borisjohnson is never far away, especially the daily telegraph, borisjohnson is neverfar away, especially in the daily telegraph, borisjohnson is never far away, especially in the daily telegraph. he says the irish brexit plan is a disaster, he says the negotiations will be a write—off u nless the negotiations will be a write—off unless the prime minister rips up the border proposal. but he still isn't saying anything, there is no suggestion of another proposal. isn't saying anything, there is no suggestion of another proposalli lot of brexiteers believe there is a technological answer to the border. a silver bullet, the magic bullet. is technology magic? i don't know. the point here is that he doesn't like the backstop position, which is that for a while, even after we leave the european union, there will be no hard border because we will remain part of the customs union.
10:37 pm
yes, remain part of the customs union while we get the divorce settled. that's it, there's nothing else in this. there's nothing else to ta ke else in this. there's nothing else to take to the eu. what's been most disturbing about the brexit issue is that it's shown how little british politicians know about the problems in the north of ireland and what course the conflict there and how precarious peace is. you've got them wading into this. we've got a northern ireland minister who said she didn't know about unionists and republicans. these are people who have no idea what a dangerous situation exists in the north of ireland. and you've got boris johnson using phrases like northern ireland being annexed by brussels, again, firing back to the churchill ian style, we are being threatened, europe coming for us. that isn't just borisjohnson,
10:38 pm
europe coming for us. that isn't just boris johnson, it europe coming for us. that isn't just borisjohnson, it would be unionists like the dup who are concerned that the nature of the relationship of northern ireland with the rest of the country could change as a result of that. the rest of the country as in britain? well, asi of the country as in britain? well, as i said, i can't understand. it seems to have taken so long, chat, chat, chat, all of these meetings and we still haven't got anything that's anywhere like it. is there a chink of optimism here with austria saying we mustn't let britain leave without a trade deal? well, yes, it makes sense to have some sort of deal but it will be on the european community's terms. this will lead to a united ireland, which will be the biggest irony of all. let's do something ozcan michelle wie? —— let's do something else, shall we. the newspaper says this is a radical
10:39 pm
idea. is it? i'm not sure it is radical but they have to do something. this was a big thorn in the side last time because we are an ageing population. there was a huge £3.5 billion funding gap for care. they say that will happen by 2025. at the moment you pay for your care until you're down to your last £23,500. you have to sell everything to pay for your care until you have that. they are saying essentially that. they are saying essentially that this will run alongside your pension, to help for your later care. i understand the principle and how it works but a lot of people are struggling to save into a pension in the first instance. and don't we pay taxes? will we be taxed less?
10:40 pm
national insurance. this is part of a move to destroy the welfare state, to move the onus of paying for things like hospital treatment onto the individual rather than through the... this isn't about hospital treatment, this is about going into a care home. it is part of a wider assault on the welfare state. people don't want to pay any more taxes. they want to protect the nhs but they aren't prepared to pay more tax, many people don't want to. essentially, this will be a stealth tax. let's look at the express. -- the daily express. the danger of a daily aspirin. for a long time people felt that a daily aspirin would protect your heart against stroke. heart attacks and stroke, yes. and now, millions of people are taking it needlessly. this is the co nsta nt taking it needlessly. this is the constant quest for the silver bullet
10:41 pm
for everyone, saying that if eve ryo ne for everyone, saying that if everyone does this, we'll be ok. they've would be well as to save just have a carrot and an apple everyday. a newspaper like the daily express which has lost so many journalists, this is a health story and a weather story, it is an easy monday morning splash. you might as well ta ke monday morning splash. you might as well take it with a pinch of aspirin! but a lot of people will be glad to read it and think there's no point in taking it, if you're healthy and over 70, there's no point. exactly, this is talking about being healthy and over 70. we've been hearing about it on your news bulletins, there's no point taking it if you're healthy and over 70 and there may be a disadvantage because it causes stomach problems. you get these stories all the time, new research changing things around. red wine, chocolate... you need a
10:42 pm
healthy lifestyle, don't overindulge, exercise more. with a carrot and an apple! page two of the daily express, novichok city in lockdown. salisbury will not be happy to be referred to as novichok city. whether these diners are russia and we don't know but two diners were taken ill in prezzo, however you pronounce it. maybe they just got ill? there's been an element of hysteria around this from the beginning. ithink element of hysteria around this from the beginning. i think it's because it wasn't handled particularly well. not a great deal of transparency, stories and counter stories. people are extremely nervous. you don't wa nt to are extremely nervous. you don't want to frighten people. that was the worry, when they went in wearing
10:43 pm
those hazmat suits and everyone else was walking around, thinking, hang on, do they know something i don't know? victoria beckham, she's shown her collection for the first time at london fashion week, normally favouring new york. it is ten years old, her label. according to a numberof old, her label. according to a number of reports and the end of la st number of reports and the end of last year, it lost £8.5 million. she's obviously getting it out there. the main thing for this, she's obviously getting it out there. the main thing forthis, she is seen smiling! people believe that she did not have the ability to smile. she's smiling in quite a lot of papers. do you like her stuff as much as your own? i did this myself! she's got a nice stripey thing, i thought i like that. you could do one of your own but not too close. that's it for the papers. penny and tony will be back at half past i!
10:44 pm
for another life shortening addition of the paper ‘s! next, click. we're almost six months away from the uk starting its transition period to leave the eu. the details of which, in case you haven't heard, are still a bit sketchy. as the eu themselves have said, nothing is agreed until everything is agreed... but whilst the politicians battle out the final points and we consider the what ifs, ports across the country are bracing themselves for change. dover here exclusively handles eu imports, so when brexit does come, it's one of the ports that's going to have to adjust the most, but no matter how final arrangements play out, making sure our ports and borders run smoothly is clearly going to be a key priority. almost 500 million tonnes of freight go through the uk borders every year. offloading and processing everything
10:45 pm
coming in and out is a complex task. technology is already fundamental in that process and some politicians hope it will be the saviour when the day comes for the uk to stand alone. this week we're looking at some technology that hopes to do exactly that. we start with estonia, which is said to be the world's most digitally governed country. so we sentjen to see how it manages its movement of goods. after brexit, the uk may need to find quicker ways to monitor the freight coming in and out of the country from france by rail. new x—ray technology deployed on estonian borders might provide a model. the country separated from the soviet union in 1991. in its easternmost city of narva, the population is still overwhelmingly russian. before independence,
10:46 pm
there was no border in narva between estonia and russia. but now there are well—established entry and exit points. building hard borders took a lot of cooperation between the two countries. on the estonian side, radiation detectors and even a driverless x—ray vehicle scan buses and trucks for suspicious freight. contraband smuggled includes cigarettes, as taxes are much lower in russia. so in russia and different third countries, the price of one pack is about 60, 70 euro cents. but, for example, in the uk it can be £9. so profit is absolutely big. there are many other unusual items, too. this is some kind of potion from china? it's full of snakes and starfish. you think people would drink that to get some kind of health benefit? probably. what is this? it looks... a medicament and inside
10:47 pm
parts of a bear. 0h! yeah. they kill animalsjust to take some profit. nikolai also showed me some of the low—tech methods people use to smuggle goods. do i look suspicious? kind of. show me what you have there. it looks like nothing, but, sorry... cigarettes. you have some cigarettes here. estonia has invested millions of pounds in five new x—ray scanners from chinese company nuctech. they automatically check their trains without stopping them. how does the scanner recognise that this is a freight train rather than a passenger train? for this, we have special sensors installed at the rails. it's the first type of sensors. the second type is located on the bridge — it looks like a camera. yes.
10:48 pm
both sensors have to give x—ray a signal that this wagon is freight and not a passenger wagon. does russia have something similar on its side? no. they are relying on you guys? it's a way of cooperation. so if for the outbound traffic if we see something suspicious, we will forward the information to the russian side. the scanner has made inspection of trains 10—50 times faster. the x—ray images are shared in a central area. all estonians, latvian and the trains, and x—rays are connected to one network. so we can learn from other borders‘ images and compare. we send pictures. that gives us a much bigger database. estonia is already looking at ways computers can speed up the process, further reducing checking times. it's nice to have very modern railway x—rays but the analysis of the images must develop to the next level,
10:49 pm
not made by human. i believe ourfuture is machine learning and artificial intelligence regarding checking these pictures. is this something you can see being of use in the eurotunnel between france and england? why not? an automatic system to be used everywhere. today i'm off to bermuda. i've checked in using my passport. i've breezed through security using my passport. and now i'm boarding my flight — not using my passport. ok, so i'm not really going off to a tropical island, but i could if i didn't have to get back to the office. jetblue has temporarily booked me onto its 11:00 flight from boston logan airport, so what you are seeing is the passenger experience playing out. here they're using facial
10:50 pm
verification in place of passports. passengers, should they wish, can simply walk up to this tablet on a stick, present their face, and get the green light to step on board. no passport needed, no boarding pass needed. there's no physical barrier either. perfect if you have misplaced your documents in your second oversized carry—on. not so good if you're camera—shy. i'm surprised by how quickly people are boarding. another thing that is impressive is it seems to recognise people's faces regardless of how tall they are, even children. the facepod has an extremely wide camera lens to help it capture people of all heights. it takes 55 snaps per second so it doesn't miss you. we boarded close to a full flight of 150 customers in under 20 minutes. that's close to a ten—minute improvement from a typical boarding time, when we usually allot 30
10:51 pm
minutes for boarding. the self—boarding system also provides a digital record of exit checks, but of course passengers are giving more biometric data to the government in return for speedy boarding. but is using just your face secure enough? it has passed our security checks so far. at the headquarters level we have a rigourous process and of course we're never going to enter into something that will weaken our position. in many countries, an officer must see your physical id before you may depart. and of course at the other end, you will still need your papers, because different countries will have different border regulations. but in an increasingly digital world, this facial boarding is taking us a step closer to leaving our papers behind. there are games about alien invasions. about raiding
10:52 pm
tombs while solving head—scratching puzzles. there are even games about experiencing the thrill of simulating life as a goat. but a game about brexit? now, that's unusual. forget hard brexit. this is black mirror meets a 16—bit yes, minister. not tonight imagines a dystopian future where the very worst kind of brexit has occurred. anybody in the uk of european heritage has been relocated to ghettos and can only find low—paid employment. the player must earn a certain amount of cash in order to remain in the uk. this is the product of an indie development team, and they have tasked the player with working
10:53 pm
as a bouncer. the early stages of the game are spent being employed by pubs and clubs. by the end of the game, a very severely right—wing government has been put into place and by that point you are making horrible decisions about, say, the landlords will ask you, don't let any of this kind of person in tonight, and you have to try to decide whether you're going to follow their rules or not. by the very end, you're doing silly things like working border control on the dover border and on the london wall. it is very satirical. what inspired you to make a game about brexit? let's put it this way. there is lots of inspiration for a dystopia at the moment. and not tonight was just a great opportunity to represent a kind of british dystopia, which i think is unique. i grew up in somerset and i remember being slightly underage, trying to get into various night spots around somerset. that always had a big impact on me because my friends were a year older.
10:54 pm
and then, the working simulator gameplay came along, games like papers please, and they were a big inspiration. and on top of that, brexit happened. and the juxtaposition of trying to get into a nightclub venue or party or house party, compared to getting into a country, it really hit a note with me. do you think games should tackle more weighty subject matters? absolutely, yeah, 100%. we have seen some elements of it in larger games, for example wolfenstein. .. wolfenstein character: you still got some nazi—killing skills in you? ..their re—imagination of america. but as an independent developer, we really have an opportunity to publish something different and something political, and i think that's a good thing, there should be more politics in games. to be honest, i would love to see some big negative responses to it, because we want to get both sides talking, right?
10:55 pm
if it's just people who voted remain sharing this thing around, that seems quite pointless. that is it for the short version of click‘s broader tech special. but to keep up with us at click, we are on facebook and twitter. and of course we will be back next week. good evening. last week felt autumnal because we had cold mornings and then mist and fog. this week it will feel autumnal because of soaking rain and gales.
10:56 pm
little rain over the weekend but this is the cloud we are watching. it has tropical air in it. it will enhance the rain and give us some autumnal gales, especially monday night, but it will give us more warmth. temperatures returning to the mid—20s in the south, especially in england and wales. it will be quite humid by day and by night. it looks like the south is going to see some of the driest and warmest weather but as we thought with the low pressure, some heavy rain and sometimes some autumnal gales. wednesday looking very windy in the north and west. our weather front is continuing south to give misty and damp conditions here. to the north, clearing up. some mist and fog and a fairly chilly night compared with what's to come.
10:57 pm
already rain building across the south and west of ireland. on monday that's going to push north over northern ireland into much of central and northern scotland. in england and wales, despite some fog on monday it looks like it will brighten up, plenty of hazy sunshine and it's going to warm up but even with more cloud in the far north, the high teens but across the south we may have the mid—20s, especially in the sunshine. as the sun goes down we will find the wind is collating, pushing further heavy rain into the west of the country. gales in ireland, affecting parts of england, northern wales and southern scotland. temperatures, very mild, temperatures similar to what they should be during the day. the wind will ease on tuesday but a windy day across the board, wet for some northern and western areas. some rain in parts of england and wales. asi
10:58 pm
rain in parts of england and wales. as i mentioned we have more stormy weather to come. no sooner do we say goodbye to the low pressure then we will see some windy weather, especially further north. this is bbc news. the headlines at 11 — theresa may defends her brexit plan as the prime minister hits out at speculation over her future. this is where i get a little bit irritated. this is not... this debate is not about my future, this debate is not about my future, this debate is not about my future, this debate is about the future of the people of the uk in the future of the united kingdom. a super—typhoon is battering the chinese province of guangdong, after hitting the northern philippines where it killed dozens of people. warnings in the us that the worst is still to come from hurricane florence, which has so far caused the deaths of at least 12 people. wiltshire police have cordoned off prezzo restaurant in salisbury high street and some surrounding roads after a man
10:59 pm
