on to the us supreme court, despite accusations of sexual assault against him. two key republican senators say they will support him in the final vote on saturday. a white police officer who killed a black teenager in chicago four years ago has been found guilty of second—degree murder. jason van dyke shot laquan mcdonald 16 times. it caused outrage and mass protests. the united nations says it's urgently trying to raise $50 million "for immediate relief" to help victims of the earthquake and tsunami in indonesia. at least 1,500 people are confirmed to have died. the nobel peace prize has been awarded to two campaigners against sexual violence. denis mukwege has a clinic in the democratic republic of congo, and nadia murad campaigns for the yazidi people in northern iraq. a man who tried to push two people onto the tracks on the london underground has been found guilty of attempted murder. paul crossley said he had chosen his victims at random
1:31 am
and hadn't intended to kill them. one of the people he pushed was the 91—year—old former boss of eurotunnel, sir robert malpas, who was left with a fractured pelvis. richard lister‘s report contains some shocking images. watch the man in the mac, sir robert malpas, aged 90, and he never saw this coming. sir robert is badly hurt. commuters try to raise the alarm. eventually one of them pulls him to safety. a little earlier, another attack at another station. tobias french just avoids the train pulling in, but his assailant escapes. when passengers finally grabbed paul crossley, he said he knew what he had done was wrong. he told the court he'd had an allergic reaction to his schizophrenia medication. this was a most shocking incident and the victims in this case were extremely lucky to have survived. this could easily have been a double murder investigation.
1:32 am
and more victims. crossley said the attacks here and at tottenham court road station were not planned and he didn't intend to kill anyone. the jury disagreed, but the judge says crossley‘s mental state will be considered before he passes sentence. the police stress this kind of attack is extremely rare, but for these two men it could easily have been far worse. richard lister, bbc news. now on bbc news it's time for click. this week we are feeling the love while the robots do the work. and i better start packing for the moon.

if we want to take a quick snap these days, we can deduce one of these. but if you are serious about those photos, then this is still the camera of choice, the dslr. 0f course it is notjust the camera itself that is bigger. the sensor used to capture the image is also larger, providing the professional standard known as full frame, which is the equivalent in size to the old 35mm film. the mobile phone had clearly ta ken its toll 35mm film. the mobile phone had clearly taken its toll on the compact camera, but the dslr had remained largely untouched until the last couple of years, when a new system, called m i rrorless,
1:34 am
last couple of years, when a new system, called mirrorless, started to gain traction and respect. digital single lens reflex cameras use a mirror system to bounce the light coming through the lens up to the viewfinder, so you can see what you are shooting. but that has a fewer drawbacks. when you do take the shot, the whole nehra system has to clip away to reveal the sensor, which is noisy and can cause vibration. so enter mirrorless. now the light hits the sensor directly, which also handles autofocus and exposure. and, in doing so, it is also able to offer other features like face or eye detection. the new are full frame mirallas camera houses larger sensors, giving more like predator picture. —— aggro free. to do all of this, the viewfinder is no longer optical. it isa viewfinder is no longer optical. it is a tiny screen with a live feed
1:35 am
from the sensor, which initially put some professionals. but is this the moment that their dslr has finally met its match? dan simmons has been to the world's biggest photo expo in germany to find out. photography is not about cameras, it is about taking great pictures. but the introduction from heavyweights nikon and canon in the full frame market is generally the heads of professionals. i am an extreme sports photographer and i had a chance for about two months to test the new canon. this is the new system. on sale from tuesday, it will work with existing eos lenses and has several adventures is over dslr. this can should scenario is
1:36 am
that they couldn't shoot before. for instance, if i get close to an athlete, he is in his zen mode. it is quite critical. if i disturb him too much, he might lose his sense that i might lose lappage. but eosr, ican that i might lose lappage. but eosr, i can put into silent and then it is really silent. there is no noise. there anywhere you can tell that there is a picture being taken is little flash around the viewfinder. i was sceptical about electronic viewfinder. i was scared about how would work. but when it drops it is a whole new ball game. it is like putting on nightvision goggles because you see more than you can see with this camera then you can see with this camera then you can see with this camera then you can see with your eyesight. you can create compositions that i could never have done before. —— you can see more with it camera then you can see more with it camera then you can see with your eyesight. canon enthuses have been waiting for this camera for a long time now. they watched sony introduced the world's first mirrorless system in 2013. why
1:37 am
has it taken canon so long to catch 7 we has it taken canon so long to catch up? we come from dslr bid leadership. we had to ensure that we offer people what they want.“ leadership. we had to ensure that we offer people what they want. if you thought that they wanted this full frame mirrorless camera... thought that they wanted this full frame mirrorless camera. . ij thought that they wanted this full frame mirrorless camera... i don't know when they wanted it, but we believe this is the right time. so he had been out for five years with a camera like this. —— sony. he had been out for five years with a camera like this. -- sony. it was a camera like this. -- sony. it was a growing market. you say that you delay putting out earlier? a growing market. you say that you delay putting out earlier7m a growing market. you say that you delay putting out earlier? it was maybe worth it, maybe not. do you regret not putting it out earliers the point is if we come up, this is the point is if we come up, this is the camera. if we come up with something, it must be the best. the best in mirrorless is understandably about contention. so let me tell you for good reasons why that might be the best. canon claimed the fastest
1:38 am
autofocus, more autofocus points than any other system — more than 5000, if you need them— and the ability to autofocus in darker situations than any other camera in the world. —6 ev if you're interested. for the ha rd—core, the world. —6 ev if you're interested. for the hard—core, they have a new zoom that is f2 throughout the range. but is the eosr the best? nikon has not updated its f—mount system since it was introduced in 1959, until last week, when it, too, went z. the new full frame z7 and z6 works with traditional f—mount lenses.
1:39 am
frame z7 and z6 works with traditional f-mount lenses. the idea is to create lenses which are as sharp. the new z—mount from nikon is faster than the traditional f—mount. to be honest, we are actually not using the speed yet, but that is looking forward. i do know what we're talking about in five or ten yea rs, we're talking about in five or ten years, when you might have a few applications. what could that be useful? basically everything which has to be connected to artificial intelligence, open reality applications, whatever. i don't yet know what the future holds. i would bea know what the future holds. i would be a rich man if i did. know what the future holds. i would be a rich man ifi did. is there any reason why it we should keep dslr into the future? definitely. definitely. these are still the ones that have, let's say, the long as battery life. sometimes you actually need the sturdiness and the weight. m i rro rless need the sturdiness and the weight. mirrorless cameras will get there eventually. back in march, ifirst

saw the camera, first handle it, and along the way, before the rest of the world knows, it is all very exciting. rob woodworth specialises in slow motion films. he had to keep nikon's camera a secret with these cosies. but what has he been? for a lot of theirfilming, cosies. but what has he been? for a lot of their filming, there is cosies. but what has he been? for a lot of theirfilming, there is no way to operate the focus, so you are relying on autofocus. these apple in the video was shooting our talent using a 105 millimetre lens with great depth of field. and it was nailed. reliably and from multiple ta kes. nailed. reliably and from multiple takes. that is very exciting. this is the first time that i would rely on this feature with nikon's camera. —— cameras. on this feature with nikon's camera. -- cameras. both the canon and nikon
1:41 am
only support one memory card, which does not allow for backup on the move. i asked does not allow for backup on the move. iasked nikon's does not allow for backup on the move. i asked nikon's head of marketing and he said that they were looking to add a second site in future models. i took out the z7 and sony's equivalent, and they both performed equally. sony cost less than the canon and nikon, and many say it performs the dslrs. they have developed our recognition for reliable autofocus and now animal recognition. but even as the clear market leader in full frame m i rro rless market leader in full frame mirrorless cameras, i found that there is a lot more to come from sony. elsewhere, panasonic announced its
1:42 am
full frame mirrorless system, on sale early next year. it is lumix system partners up with others to create a full frame mirrorless system. eventually it is likely it will kill off dslr. but remember it is what you should that makes the biggest difference. it may not be the nicest lens or have superfast autofocus, but it is mirrorless.

technology that is as essential if farming families like his are to thrive the generations to come. farming families like his are to thrive the generations to comelj grew up in texas and oklahoma. we have a few thousand acres over there. even then, we have the issue of my grima cannot get enough help, and none of their daughters took it up, but luckily i am. it is also the clea nest up, but luckily i am. it is also the cleanest army have ever seen. it is more like a food lab which is why i need to look like this before i can go in. —— cleanest farm. the first thing i can see is this enormous machine, tell us about this. this is angus, this is our £1000 mobile robots. angus isn't autonomously navigate our farm. -- can autonomously. angus controls the floor. he is omnidirectional and self driving and knows where he is going thanks to these markers on the ceiling. he brings the modules which
1:46 am
are filled with water over to the second robot in the room. the army is used to harvest, which in this farm means moving the produce from one container to the next to help it have more room to grow. —— the arm. there are lots of technical challenges to over come. the arm must pick up —— pick up each plant but do a delicately and not damage the other plants in the process. 0nce the other plants in the process. once the harvesting is complete, angus moves into the light. give me a sense of what different food this can grow. these are from the baby plants, we have some but ahead, red romaine, some really tiny baby red beans there. this is the only one of these farms are so far and it doubles as the company's offices.
1:47 am
their business relies on the fact that not only is their farm supposedly more sufficient —— efficient but the food is more consistent, and it means the taste is great. genovese basil, they recommend you reckon smell it. oh yeah, that is really nice. very, very good. that was dave. watching this now, you have absolutely no idea what i'm going to say or do next. let alone the ability to control it. but nick has been to see some technology that could change that. i've been invited to york's inaugural media arts festival to see interactive film
1:48 am
called "what is love". i hope to find the answer. here the audience is invited to not only view but shape the narrative of a love story. they affect what happens as the video itself changes to complement the viewer's individual responses. how ami the viewer's individual responses. how am i feeling today? every so often, floating icons are projected in space in front of the screen. su btly in space in front of the screen. subtly encouraging onlookers to reach out and virtually guide the mood of the production. well, that's the idea anyway. we were able to interact and do stuff, i didn't understand. i was trying to interact so we understand. i was trying to interact so we couldn't make it work, so it is when to long with the flow. so we couldn't make it work, so it is when to long with the flowm was great, it was different. a motion sensor tracks hand movements and pending on where and when you intervene, different pre—recorded scene is played out. the installation uses storytelling media
1:49 am
known as object —based media. and this is billed as the first public airing of the tailor—made tack. basically object —based media gives people options. if you like to mix it up and change the camera angle you can be direct. if the or presenter is simply rabbiting on too much and you want to skip to the next part, then you can simply... 0r if you have started watching something after the watershed, it can automatically show you stuff a little more adult friendly. any piece of editing software had to be created to produce the experience. —— and new peace. created to produce the experience. -- and new peace. we spent about a year developing the underlying technology. these three groups are all different dialogue sequences, and based on the decision that the viewer makes, it go down one of these parts and that will select from these possible outcomes. as a director is very interesting because it is far more exciting challenge to
1:50 am
put a story together like this. you allow the user to interact and change depending on what they want out of that piece. and then they will get out of it what they have put into it. that's exactly what broadcasters are working on. netflix is set to broadcast to choose your own dystopian future episode of black mirror later this year among other interactive experiments. bbc are indeed will help develop the york installation and have been working on similar projects for a few years now. this is our origami frog play along. if you want to get the view you can switch to top town and geta the view you can switch to top town and get a close—up of his hands. that and his team have concocted personalise tutorials, weather updates and even some dummy news packages. news is quite interesting. we have that in—depth analytics in
1:51 am
the content you might expect from video games, we know where people are losing track or failing or repeating stuff. and obviously with that object —based approach you could go back and tweak it. but if we over personalise we could be in danger of the filter bubble effect of only showing people opinions they we re of only showing people opinions they were ready agree with. and also if you flip that idea, maybe we can introduce counterexamples to people. i don't know if it is the opposite of personalisation, but introducing things to their media that provide an opposite point of view to try and make sure we don'tjust reinforce everyone's views. but is it ready for prime time, and our audiences up for prime time, and our audiences up for it? doctor smith foresees an 0be in future we're artificial intelligence may know what we want and help guide our viewing. intelligence may know what we want and help guide our viewingm intelligence may know what we want and help guide our viewing. if you imaginea kind and help guide our viewing. if you imagine a kind of google map where instead of taking the fastest route to where you want to be, you get the most interesting route. and that is where i think the logical form of
1:52 am
the artificial intelligence will take, but the direct will be providing the map. we will soon see if that map is worth the expedition. that was nick. and apologies, it you can't choose who you do or don't watch quite so easily right now, or what they are wearing. this is v zozo suit and genuinely you would be wearing it in the privacy of your own home. it helps create 3d measurements of you so you can order custom—made clothes online. around 400 unique markers are attracted by the phone app. the company behind the phone app. the company behind the suit, zoonown, although you may not have heard of it, is the biggest online fashion retailer injapan. a business that turned its founder

1:57 am
for others it is not going to be quite so pretty, in fact cloud and rain and cold weather on the way. the reason for that is a weather front slicing the uk in half right now. there is a bit of a battle between cold in the north and warm in the south taking place. this is what it looks like first thing saturday. the milder weather in the south—east and below freezing in scotland, and in between we have a weather front. this will bring stormy weather to wales and parts of the midlands, and the south—west in the morning and then come lunchtime that weather front will sweep into east anglia and south—east london is in for some rain. in scotland, northern ireland, northern england on saturday is looking absolutely fine, it is fresh but at least it is sunny. cloudy across the midlands, it will feel cold with winds blowing out of the north, and then that rain from central southern england
1:58 am
to london, all the way to norwich. this rain could be really heavy indeed, really soggy out there. that also means temperatures will struggle on saturday. we had 23 in london on friday, saturday is looking like 14. in the north of the country there will be sunshine with temperatures around 12— 13. the weather forecast for sunday, the wet weather from the south—east clears away and actually a bit of a reversal in fortunes. in the morning it is going to be clear and cold, this is the temperature on sunday morning, 2—3 degrees, a a touch of frost in rural areas. and then sunday morning itself, a lot of sunshine across england and wales, and in the north—west of the country, there is a jetstream that is blowing in a weather front, cloud and rain, gusty winds, gale force around the western isles. very unsettled in the north—west of the country on sunday. sunday in england and wales is looking absolutely fine, the temperatures will recover a little bit as well, 15— 16 celsius. not looking too bad across england
1:59 am
and wales on sunday at all. sunday night into monday, weather fronts keep pushing in and pushing through the north—west of the country, it looks like northern ireland, parts of scotland are into some rain. this is monday now, look at the north of scotland, it get some sunshine on monday. then england and wales on monday are also looking fairly sunny, partly cloudy skies, but crucially the winds are starting to blow out of the south—west, so that means the temperatures will be picking up, we are back up to 16 in belfast in newcastle, and to some of us next week, the week ahead, it is looking like there is a bit of an indian summer on the way with temperatures well into the 20s. welcome to bbc news, broadcasting to viewers in north america and around the globe. our top stories: i will vote to confirm judge kavanaugh. brett kavanaugh is a big step closer to being confirmed to the us supreme court after weeks of bitter debate and allegations of sexual assault.
