6:01 am
it's saturday, six october. our top story: exactly a week since the indonesian island of sulawesi was hit by a devastating earthquake, officials say more than 1000 people could still be missing beneath the rubble. so far around 1500 people are known to have died in the disaster as buildings were razed to the ground, and the island was hit by a wall of water. but among the despair, there have been glimmers of hope, as our asia correspondent nick beake explains. within this devastated city you find incredible stories of survival. including here where the injured are still being treated outside because they fear the hospital could collapse. this 12—year—old football fan was in an internet cafe in palu watching highlights of his beloved manchester city where the earthquake struck. suddenly the earth started to shake, he tells us. i tried to
6:02 am
run, my hand was crushed, but i was able to stick out my other hand. i waved it so people could see it. this is where he was trapped. eventually a neighbour spotted him and dragged him to safety. i am no hero, he says. the boys survived with a broken arm and is now reunited with his family. he still hopes to achieve his dream of becoming a footballer. joining his heroes at his favourite team. who is your favourite manchester city player? the algerian international maris became manchester city's record signing when they bought him for £60 million this summer. we thought manchester city may want to know about a young sam's amazing story of survival thousands of miles away. so we got in touch. and it
6:03 am
turns out riyad mahrez wants to send a personal message. the boy doesn't know anything about this. hi. somebody wants to say hello to you. hi, how are you? i hope you are getting better. i heard that you are a big city sam. ijust want to wish you a good recovery. i hope you get better and we will give you the best wishes from manchester city. -- city fan. what does he make of it? wishes from manchester city. -- city fan. what does he make of mm wishes from manchester city. -- city fan. what does he make of it? it is great, iam fan. what does he make of it? it is great, i am so happy. he also said that he would like to send you a signed shirt as well. "i can't wait to get better and where it". in the city of sorrow where they have lost so much. thank you. a smile goes a long way. 0ur correspondent nick beake is in palu for us this morning. 0ne
6:04 am
one week on, lovely story, amazing to have some hope out of this, at the image behind you, so many buildings destroyed, and now the work to get lives back on track. yes, absolutely. this place shows all you need to know about the massive challenge they still face. this was actually a restaurant that collapsed. i am sorry to say there are people trapped inside. bodies of course. this was a popular wedding venue. course. this was a popular wedding venue. it is saturday. normally they would be preparing for happy couples. instead they are preparing for burials and other things, looking after the dead. the city is getting back to some sort of functioning process. you see the traffic going past. it is the small things. power is back on. in some shops there are fridges. there are cold drinks for the rescue workers who have been working in sweltering heat for the last week. some aid is
6:05 am
getting through now. the most remote areas are getting through now. the most remote areas a re really getting through now. the most remote areas are really struggling. people areas are really struggling. people are still trapped. as for the numbers of dead and missing, it is ha rd to numbers of dead and missing, it is hard to work out what the true picture is. what we can say is that some villagers were completely wiped out by the mudslide that followed the earthquake and the soon army so we may never really knowjust how many people lost their lives here in palu. and on the outskirts. certainly, what is for sure is this isa certainly, what is for sure is this is a city that was devastated by what happened. and getting back to any semblance of normality is going to ta ke any semblance of normality is going to take a long, long time. thank you very much. president trump's controversial supreme court nominee, brett kavanaugh, is almost certain to be appointed later today after weeks of protests and controversy over sexual assault allegations. last night two wavering senators decided to support the nomination, saying the accusations, which mr kavanaugh denies, had not been sufficiently proven. the outcome of his appointment could shape important decisions in the us for decades to come. from washington, our correspondent chris buckler reports. the system is corrupt!
6:06 am
for days the senate's corridors of power have been filled with protesters. each one trying to influence the few senators still wavering over whether to support brett kavanaugh's nomination to the supreme court. he has angrily denied claims that he sexually assaulted christine blasey ford decades ago when they were both teenagers. after wrestling with her political beliefs and the simple question of who to believe, the republican senator susan collins finally decided she would vote in favour ofjudge kavanaugh. the facts presented do not mean that professor ford was not sexually assaulted that night or at some other time, but they do lead me to conclude that the allegations fail to meet the more
6:07 am
likely than not standard. but another republican broke party lines to say she could not support him. stop this, it's not too late! with a final vote nowjust hours away, protesters keep clear they intend to keep up the pressure on america's politicians. i am so angry, i do not want to leave this place or leave the streets. they're not listening to women and are not listening to survivors. this confirmation process has been nothing short of a bruising and divisive political fight. but all the indications are that president trump is quietly confident that his nominee is now likely to secure a place on america's hires court. the european commission has delivered an upbeat assessment on the state of talks about leaving the eu, which prompted sterling to rise against the euro and the dollar.
6:08 am
the head of the european commission jean—claudejuncker says he is very focused on an agreement because "a no deal would be disastrous" for great britain and for the eu. he said the commission and michel barnier were working day and night to make progress before the eu summit later this month. tens of thousands of people have signed up to a new service from two mobile—only uk banks, designed to help gambling addicts. once a "gambling block" has been activated by the customer, the app can spot any transactions with a bookmaker, either online or in a shop, and instantly stop it before any money has left the account. if you are unable to access funds not just because if you are unable to access funds notjust because you have put in management of funds by getting spouses to help you but if you are unable to do it because you cannot spend that money, it can save people's homes, people's families, and their mental health can be preserved. police in france are investigating the disappearance of the head of the international police organisation,
6:09 am
interpol. meng hung—way hasn't been seen since he travelled from his home in france to visit family in china a week ago. his wife reported him missing soon afterwards. the hong kong newspaper, the south china morning post, has reported that mr mung was taken away for questioning by the chinese authorities when his plane landed. the appointment of mr way two years ago was meant to cement china's place at the heart of international law enforcement. it was seen as a coup for beijing, strongly criticised by human rights activists. but mr meng is missing. his wife told police colleagues he disappeared after arriving back in china 12 days ago. in a statement interpol said it was a matter for the authorities in france and china, adding it was the secretary general, not the president, who is in charge of running the organisation. reports in china suggest mr meng been taken
6:10 am
infor in china suggest mr meng been taken in for questioning, possibly by officials investigating corruption in china's ruling party. if the chinese government wants you, if the communist party wants you, the message is that, however senior you may be, wherever you are, whoever you are, the party will get you. that is the message which was also sentin that is the message which was also sent in the case of fan bing bing. 0ne sent in the case of fan bing bing. one of china's best—known stars disappeared for three months before being convicted last week of tax evasion. interpol does not have the power to send officers are brought to make arrests. for now there seems little it can do to attract down its own missing president. further rail strikes will bring disruption today as industrial action continues in the long—running row over the role of guards on trains. members of the rail, maritime and transport union on south—western railway will continue with a 48—hour walkout, and workers on northern will stage their seventh consecutive saturday stoppage. residents in england and wales have reported sightings of some unexpected houseguests — ladybirds that have arrived
6:11 am
in their thousands. people have taken to social media to document the invasion of the spotted beetles, that can be seen crawling over doors and windows in their homes. see that there. they're mostly harlequin ladybirds, a species that first arrived in in the uk in 200a. so what is behind the rise in the numbers? experts say the hot summer could be behind the rise in numbers. this is what i have learnt this morning, charlie, a loveliness of ladybirds, that is the term. 0h, is that right? well it is, yes, loveliness. a robot in the shape of a cockroach is the first to be able to walk on the surface of water and walk on land. bug news this morning, isn't it? it weighs as much as a paperclip and can carry its own weight without sinking.
6:12 am
the biggest challenge for this micro machine is getting out of the water. the force of the water's surface tension is twice the robot's weight and the hind legs encounter friction. the next challenge for researchers is to find a way for the robot to return to land without using a ramp. you know, baby steps, getting there. let's have a quick look through some of the front pages this morning. the first one you can see is the telegraph. a story a view of the papers is looking at this morning is gps, patients expected to see doctors in groups of up to 15 in a plan considered by the nhs. it should be the default option offered by surgeries for many conditions. you see a group of people suffering a condition at the same time and in theory it saves time. the front of theory it saves time. the front of the guardian that, brexit features, theresa may has plans for a charm offensive to try to get labour mps
6:13 am
to back the brexit deal even if it costjeremy corbyn the chance to become the prime minister. the picture you see on the front page are the winners of the nobel peace prize. they were honoured for work against sexual violence, dennis mcgrady and nadia murad. and the independent, if the jack is deal fails, she must accept a canada style tra d e fails, she must accept a canada style trade bill orface fails, she must accept a canada style trade bill or face a challenge —— checkers deal. style trade bill or face a challenge -- checkers deal. and trying to access british teenagers through russian controlled accounts, accou nts russian controlled accounts, accounts posing as harry potter fans and emma watson to try to gain followers on social media, that's what the paper is reporting and another picture of nadia murad, the face of your zdnet —— the face of
6:14 am
yazidi women. let's have a look at the now for a look at the weather. you are meant to be able to acknowledge that this is some fog. 0ur usual autumn problems. there is not as much strength in the sun. the changes losing, basically, the mild air that we have in the south and picking up some colder air and most of us will get one fine day this weekend. it won't be england and wales. got the fog across southern and eastern areas. however, further north, it is a different picture. it a tale of two halves. in the north, we've got some lovely sunshine. this
6:15 am
afternoon bring some sunshine to north england and wales. it's really lingering, the cloud. that rain, when it arrives, it's replacing this morning's fog. temperatures about 10 degrees down on those from yesterday. and then, as would expect, a ridge of high pressure overnight. it's going to be a cold night. not quite as frosty here that a chilly night nevertheless the most of us. tomorrow, we reverse our roles. a cold start, a touch of frost. we may hang on to some cloud in kent. we pick up the south—westerly wind, more rain and tomorrow, it looks like quite a damp day across scotland and northern ireland. that weather front wriggles its way around into monday. in fact,
6:16 am
its way around into monday. in fact, it looks as if some parts of the north will have about 100 millimetres of rain throughout the course of sunday, sunday night monday and clearing on tuesday. they distribute —— distribution hanging on as we go into sunday but more rain pulsing across scotland and northern ireland. by that stage, it's a little milder. asi as i say, it does look as if it is warming up. this weekend is a tale of two halves. brett kavanaugh, president trump's controversial supreme court nominee, looks set to be appointed to the role later today after two previously undecided senators gave him their backing. republican susan collins, said she did not believe the disputed sexual misconduct charges against him, could fairly prevent him serving on the court. we're joined now from washington by president ronald reagan's former speech writer, clarkejudge who has been following the story.
6:17 am
is been following the story. this a done deal? it looks it's is this a done deal? it looks it but it's been such a rollercoaster, who knows? there may be some last—minute surprises, apparently justice kagan said this evening there is no swing vote left on the court wantsjudge kavanaugh is confirmed. some interpret that as a warning or an attempt to move this. i don't actually think it is the this has been full of surprises all the way through. there is a powerful course against him. they probably haven't given up but this looks like a done deal now. does it feel right to you?
6:18 am
i think it's very right. he will make an excellent judge, justice i think it's very right. he will make an excellentjudge, justice and he has a strong view of the constitution but he is very evenhanded, he has a lot of experience in the judiciary, evenhanded, he has a lot of experience in thejudiciary, he is an outstanding choice. can i put one thought to you, that even if you leave aside the notion that the allegations, even if you leave that to one side at the moment, and as an outsider looking from the uk, you look at his performance in front of the senate committee, he admitted himself that his temper sometimes got the better of him, some people have said, he doesn't look like someone who should be in beina be in a pivotal position making judgements about how america will
6:19 am
be. ses found a candidate as he was before this progress —— process began? highly sound. he's been tested as no justice has been tested. the kinds of scurrilous attacks on him which are motivated by an attempt to keep him off the court, not the personal reasons but all reasons ofjudicial philosophy ultimately. those have been unlike anything, any justice going ultimately. those have been unlike anything, anyjustice going back to the very beginning of the republic, any justice has been the very beginning of the republic, anyjustice has been attacked in this way. he was in a position that's almost no—win position regarding temperaments. if he didn't respond well, he would be attacked for being cold and we heard a little bit of that just for being cold and we heard a little bit of thatjust before he expressed passion and if he did express
6:20 am
passion and if he did express passion he would be attacked in the way you said. basically this was in some quarters the game that had only one answer, a quiz some quarters the game that had only one answer, a quiz that had only one and so, which is thatjustice kavanaugh and so, which is thatjustice kava naugh was unacceptable and so, which is thatjustice kavanaugh was unacceptable for many people and they would use any excuse, any interpretation of his behaviour to say he was unsound. he is highly sound and under extraordinarily intense press —— pressure has performed brilliantly. following christine blasey ford's allegations that were made in the senate, many people did believe accounts. we've seen the waves divided opinion in america. does that mean the decisions he is
6:21 am
involved in in the future will necessarily be questioned ?|j involved in in the future will necessarily be questioned? i don't think so, not on their merits. there are still people who are not going to find this court and any court thatis to find this court and any court that is composed of the majority of strong constitutionalists unacceptable, this has to do with much larger battles with the american political environment than the personality and temperament of thisjudge, the personality and temperament of this judge, justice. whoever fills that position the political philosophy of what may now be the majority, was soon to be the majority. they will find that unacceptable and everything the court does unacceptable. that's where we are in the united states
6:22 am
right now. it is way beyond the character or temperament of anyone justice. we'll have the headlines at 6:30am, but first it's time for the film review with jane hill and mark kermode. hadow, and a warm welcome to the film a view on bbc news. to take us through this week's cinema releases, as ever, is mark kermode. we have 22july which opens next wednesday, paul green grass on a real—life tragedy. venom, tom hardy and a parasite from outer space. and
6:23 am
columbus, life, love and architecture. we are going to talk about a star is born. we will have a bit of a round—up. about a star is born. we will have a bit of a round-up. it couldn't be a more difficult topic. 22 july, the new green grass movie, which opens in some theatres and netflix. this isa drama in some theatres and netflix. this is a drama about the atrocity committed by anders breivik but more importantly how a civilised country responds to that atrocity so although we do see the bombings and we see the outrage on utoya, it's about how the country, the legal system, the survivors and politicians react to the atrocity. we've got the final and number. eight dead in oslo, 69 on utoya.
6:24 am
wounded? at least 200. thank you. we are all shocked. this was an attack on our government and on our children. we are a long way from understanding why. but what is clear is that our nation has been attacked by someone who would see it changed. you would see our democracy become tyranny. see our humanity fold. we must not give in to this terror. we must not give in to this terror. we must fight. and what the drama than really becomes about is how you deal with that kind of atrocity and there isa with that kind of atrocity and there is a debate about whether the perpetrator should be able to speak in court because what he is saying is hateful and vile but more
6:25 am
importantly, the survivors being heard and it's about the rise of the far rightand heard and it's about the rise of the far right and extremism, it's shocking to see some extremist ideas which have passed into mainstream politics, not tactics but ideas and ideologies and i thought what paul greengrass managed to do was make a serious film about how it is that in a civilised, ordered society, you try and make sense of something like this and it's about the response being very measured and very deliberate and it's about issues and freedom of speech and it deals in an unsensationalfashion, freedom of speech and it deals in an unsensational fashion, just how potentially sensationalist the subject matter is. it's very disturbing obviously and it's very moving and harrowing but in the end, i think it is also defined because it's about the voice of young people standing up to this as an ideology. it's a very tough and testing film,
6:26 am
as it should be, but it's serious. terribly difficult because there will be people who save you are going to talk about something so horrific and really not that long ago, shouldn't one just make a documentary? paul greengrass has a background in documentaries and a brilliantly blended documentary in 1993. if anyone is going to do it, i think he is the guy to do it and he is serious. he does have a background in documentary and news. yes, yes. 0n background in documentary and news. yes, yes. on two very different matters. this is a total mess. tom hardy is a former vlogger whose body is taken over by an extra terrestrial who likes to bite people ‘s heads. it's outside of the standard marble cinematic universe. it looks like a downbeat character study about a guy who loses his job and his girland study about a guy who loses his job and his girl and his life falls
6:27 am
apartand and his girl and his life falls apart and then it turns silly and into a rubbery special effects movie with lots of motorbike chases and it turns into all of me meets the flyer, and i've never seen a movie so catastrophically all over the place. i said to my son, at least it was never boring. well it was boring in the beginning, then it became silly and entertaining in the last 30 minutes. tom hardy and the director do good work at it is an absolute mess of the movie. what was tom hardy doing in this? he was doing his best to hold it together and make some sense and the superhero movies, there are a million reasons are doing them. it doesn't look like any other superhero movie you've seen recently, it's all over the place and not without interest, but it is and not without interest, but it is a total mess. i love the way you can still try to pick a glimmer. a total mess. i love the way you can
6:28 am
still try to pick a glimmerlj still try to pick a glimmer.” enjoyed the last third of it but it's not good. columbus, i am really intrigued by. a us indie film, the debut for the director. a korean american man has collapsed, hayley richardson is a young woman who lives there. she is very interested in architecture. he claims he isn't but evidently here's an true talking about buildings, they start to talk about buildings, they start to talk about other things. here is a clip. during that time, banks were designed to be imposing fortresslike, tellers behind bars. the idea here was that you walk in at street level, you don't have to climb any stairs, it is inviting. sorry, what? what are you doing?
6:29 am
what? are you... shut up, i'mjust trying to tell you about this building. step out of tour guide mode. you said this is one of your favourite buildings. why? it's one of the first modernist banks in the united states. that can't be it. do you like this building intellectually? no. i'm also moved by it. yes, yes. tell me about that. what moves you? what i like about this, firstly i am interested in architecture, but it's a psycho geography. by talking about buildings, they are talking about the rhone lives, he is trapped, and has a problematic relationship with his father. all this comes out while discussing architecture and the film is beautiful, just to look it and see it on the big screen. it has
6:30 am
this kind of lovely ambient sound to it and it reminded me totally, marjorie prime. it's really a movie about growing old and alienation. i'm intrigued but am wondering if you had a fascination on the film. i must you had a fascination on the film. i m ust co nfess you had a fascination on the film. i must confess there was part of me that thought, i love looking at those buildings and the fact that the director loves looking in those buildings. maybe it's a little niche but that said, it's got rave reviews wherever it is opened. i would be very interested to know what you think about it. it sounds intriguing and beautiful. let's talk about another film. this is the best. a
6:31 am
star is born. written and directed by bradley cooper is starring against lady gaga. she is the uncredited songwriter on her way up. it's a story that's been told before, each different incarnation has its own merits. i thought this was great, bradley cooper did a great directing job, the onstage stuff, he is convincing as a rock star, very impressive. what's more impressive is lady gaga convincing you that she isn't a rock star rock star. you are slightly more reserved. i loved the first power andi reserved. i loved the first power and i was really enjoying the meeting and the buildup in her showing off her talent and it is 15 minutes too long, i'm afraid. nigel floyd to our respect above all film critics thinks exactly the same thing you do and i disagree with him and you, it's just the right length and you, it's just the right length and you, it's just the right length and you should give it another go. 0k, and you should give it another go. ok, you see, i looked at my watch once or twice. did you cry? no, was
6:32 am
i meant to do? you cry at everything. the first time they sang together come the last time they sang. 0h, together come the last time they sang. oh, dear. i don't know, that's the thing. we were watching a different film. bradley cooper was extraordinarily good, i am neutral on him and he was tiptop.” extraordinarily good, i am neutral on him and he was tiptop. i was sceptical on him and he did a brilliant directorialjob. he believed the concert sequences. i obviously need to see it again. it's a star is born, how can you not cry? there is a dvd and i guarantee you are going to hate this. revenge, a film which turns the rape revenge convention on its head. it is a feminist film but it's also very 90w feminist film but it's also very gory and very violent and i'm not recommending it to you but if anyone
6:33 am
isa recommending it to you but if anyone is a horror fan, recommending it to you but if anyone is a horrorfan, it's interesting but it's not as radical as it thinks it is but it is a very interesting film but you and i can have a very serious discussion about a star is born. all our other programmes, if you can bear it, are on the eye player and all the news and reviews are on the website or the is by now. we've got the conversation. enjoy your weekend. hello, this is breakfast, with charlie stayt and naga munchetty. good morning. here's a summary of today's main stories from bbc news. exactly stories from bbc news. one week since the indonesian exactly one week since the indonesian island of sulawesi was hit by a devastating earthquake officials say 1000 people could still be missing. so far at around 1500 are known to have died in the disaster as buildings were destroyed

6:37 am
speaking yesterday morning mourinho thought his side were on the right track, despite their goaless draw with valencia in the champions league this week. the effort, the commitment, the desire that the team showed against a difficult opponent like valencia. if you look at newcastle, probably we are a bit luckier and we will win the match. he's up there in the scoring charts alongside the likes of harry kane, sergio ageuro, and brighton's glen murray was on target again last night. his fifth goal of the season was enough to burst west ham's recent bubble, and it moves brighton up to 12th in the table. well, in the day's three o'clock matches, tottenham host struggling cardiff city at wembley, bournemouth look to keep up their flying start to the season at watford, while leicester take on everton. in scotland, aberdeen against st mirren and hibs versus hamilton are among the pick of the fixtures today. celtic are in action tomorrow while rangers take on leaders hearts also tomorrow. wigan will play warrington in super

all about their composure and speed of thought. so here they come then, they have done 400 metres on the track, understandably out of breath, it isa track, understandably out of breath, it is a hot day and now they have to compose themselves, control their breathing, picked up the air rifles and hit the five targets. it is a combination of speed and also accuracy. 0nce combination of speed and also accuracy. once they have hit the five targets ten metres away they run again before more shooting and finally a gruelling 400 metre race to finish. props to the people that do it pro because it is really hard. you have to time yourself to hit it when you are breathing up and down. i have never shot before so it is different and i can get to do it. yes. if you have never taken an before you have to join an organised clu b to before you have to join an organised club to get your eye in. i have seen what is involved and to really raise the bar i am up against some regional champions and number two in the world, she has me in her sights. my
6:42 am
my first myfirstaim my first aim was to try and stay in touch with emily and the other elite junior athletes. but this came at a cost. by 200 metres, i was a spent force, and staggering to the end of my first lap which wasn't the ideal preparation for picking up the gun. i've got to keep up with emily. first shot, i hit the target, but look, everybody has gone. she has gone already. and in fact, before i got all of mine down she was back again. i have knocked four down but still trying to get the last target and they have lapped me. yes, it is all about the technique and the rhythm of it. what do you love about it? the fact that there are two sports combined together and you
6:43 am
need the composure to shoot and the explosiveness to run. what does it mean to be second in the world?m is insane to be competing abroad against the best, so it is amazing. we have normally a very stationary sport, where you are shooting a target, this introduces the exciting element of having to run around the track and we thought it was a good way to get athletes involved in the sport. after the success of the wiathlon at the winter olympics the aim is for target sprint to eventually get the olympic call. sorry to keep you waiting. we are waiting for a few minutes, it was there to say, they were waiting for a few minutes, it was interesting to have a go but when you are out of breath and you have been running, to be dextrous with your hands, i am not very good at it and this is the size of one of the palates and it was really hard to load the gun when you are trying to breathe in —— pellets.
6:44 am
load the gun when you are trying to breathe in -- pellets. is that? it is actually made out of paper, just now, improvised. it is tiny. it is important load the gun quickly at speed like that. yes. and charlie, you said you think it should be cross country. so you can cross fields, like in skiing. that is where the inspiration for this came from. very good, thank you. it is coming up to 6:45am and helen has the weather for us, it is a bit of this for you today and a bit of that tomorrow depending on the country you are in. you have summed it up, naga, i will go home. you are in. you have summed it up, naga, iwill go home. it you are in. you have summed it up, naga, i will go home. it is a tale of two halves and it is very autumnal as well and this is the fog we have at this time of year it will linger into the morning, so it will impact you across hampshire into the south—east of england and east of england as well. further north we have some rain. and on the rain band
6:45 am
isa have some rain. and on the rain band is a weather front, and the delineation between the mild, muggy at in the south and the cold air coming in, but bright air with the chilly air and this is across scotland, we have the rain trundling through wales, northern england, it has been with us for much of the night. we will be glad to see the back of that. a miserable start, hill fog here, then we trade the mist and cloud for some rain this afternoon. further north it is a different story. for scotland and northern ireland there will be pesky showers for the highlands and the islands but also lots of sunshine. not particularly warm but we are in 0ctober. not particularly warm but we are in october. the sunshine comes to northern england and wales, rain will clear, but it will struggle to clear the cloud and east anglia will be sitting underneath cloud and rain. so it will feel much more
6:46 am
coalburn yesterday. 23 in the south and east. 13 or 14 today. —— colder than yesterday. a cold might as well. we will lose the rain finally. we might have some cloud in the south—east. we are starting to pick up south—east. we are starting to pick up rain in the north. not as cold in the northern and western isles. inland it is feasible we will have ground frost on sunday morning. possibly a little bit of mist and fog. the wind will be brisk. it will ease off tonight. then they picked up ease off tonight. then they picked up in the north—west and they are pulling the atlantic wind and rain and cloud. a different complexion to the weather for scotland and northern ireland. for england and wales after the wind and rain and fog it looks much more bright with an abundance of sunshine. more to come as we go through monday. it means another cold night as we go to monday morning in southern areas with mist and fog problems as the wind is light across the south. and then the north will see rain on
6:47 am
sunday, sunday night, monday, monday night into tuesday the weather front is still hanging around. the concerns here are for the likes of the highlands with 100— 150 millimetres of rain in the space of the next couple of days. because it isa the next couple of days. because it is a south—westerly wind coming off the atlantic it will mean that for many of us in the south with the sunshine it will warm up, but it certainly doesn't feel warm this morning and it won't feel warm in the wind and rain either today. lots of layers and waterproofs today for all of us at some point. yes. one fine day for each. indeed, thank you. we'll be back with the headlines at 7:00, but first it's time for click with spencer kelly. if we want to take a quick snap these days we tend to use one
6:48 am
of these but if you are serious about these photos then this is still the camera of choice, the dslr. of course, notjust the camera itself is bigger, the sensor to capture the image is also large are providing the professional standard known as full frame which is the equivalent in size to the old 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 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,
6:49 am
so you can see what you're shooting. but that has a few drawbacks. when you do take the shot, the whole mirror system has to flip away to reveal the sensor — that's 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's also able to offer other features, like face or eye detection. the newer full—frame mirrorless camera houses larger sensors, capturing more light for a better picture. now, to do all of this, the viewfinder is no longer optical. it's a tiny electronic screen with a live feed from the sensor, which initially put off
6:50 am
some professionals. but is this the moment that the dslr has finally met its match? dan simmons has been to the world's biggest photo expo, photokina, in germany, to find out. photography isn't about cameras, it's about taking great pictures. but the introduction from heavyweights nikon and canon in the mirrorless full—frame market is turning the heads of pros as well as enthusiasts. i am an extreme sports photographer and i had the chance for about two months to test the new eosr. this is canon's new system. on sale from tuesday, it will work with existing eos lenses and offers several big advantages over dslr. this new camera enables me to shoot scenarios that i couldn't shoot before. for example, if i get close to an athlete, he is in his zen mode where he prepares for a stance it's quite critical. if i disturb him too much, he might lose his stance and i might lose my picture.
6:51 am
but eosr, i can put into silent mode and then it's really completely silent. it's like there is no noise at all. the only way you can understand that there is a picture being taken is little flash around the frame in your viewfinder. i was sceptical about electronic viewfinder. i was scared about how it would work. but when the light drops it is a whole new ball game. it is like putting on nightvision goggles because you actually see more with this camera than you can see with the eyesight. you can shoot images and you can create compositions that i could never have done before. canon fans have been waiting for this system for some time now. they watched sony introduced the world's first full—frame mirrorless model back in 2013. so, why has it taken canon so long to catch up? well, you know, we come from a digital slr big leadership.
6:52 am
we had to ensure that we offer people what they want. they wanted this full—frame mirrorless camera two years ago, that's when they wanted it. i don't know when they wanted it, but we believe this is the right time. it was a growing market. are you saying it wasn't worth putting out earlier? it was maybe worth it, maybe not. were you ready to put it out earlier? we are ready today, clearly. but were you ready before? this is canon. if we come up with something, it must be the best. the best in mirrorless is understandably a bone of contention. so, before i tell you why it might not be, let me tell you four
6:53 am
good reasons why that might be the best. canon claim the fastest autofocus, at one two hundredth of a second. 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 true hard—core, they have a new 28—70 zoom that is f2 throughout the range. but is the eosr the best? nikon hasn't updated its famous camera lens f—mount system since it was introduced in 1959 — until last week, when it, too, went mirrorless. the new full frame z6 and z7 models are slimmer and lighter, an adapter allows them to work with existing nikon lenses, and they sport a visible wider z—mount, allowing more light to hit the sensor. the idea is to create lenses which are tech sharp to the cornice. the new z—mount from nikon is more
6:54 am
than 1000 times faster than the previous f—mount, which is still there. that is the speed the camera talks to the lens, and then the lens can then respond? exactly. to be honest, we are actually not using the speed yet, but that is looking forward. i don't know what we're talking about — in five years to ten years — then you might have quite different applications. is there any reason why we should still keep dslr? definitely. dslr are still the ones that have, let's say, the long as battery life. they are — sometimes you actually need the sturdiness and the weight. the mirrorless cameras come there eventually. it may not be the nicest lens or have superfast autofocus, but it is mirrorless. this is the zozo suit and generally you would be wearing it in the privacy of your own home. the aim is that it helps create 3d measurements of you so you can order custom—made clothes online.
6:55 am
around 400 unique markers are tracked by the phone's app. the company behind the suit, zoonown, although you may not have heard of it, is the biggest online fashion retailer in japan. a business which turned its founder, yusaku maezawa, from a drummer in a band into a billionaire. but he may be feeling a little distracted right now, as he has bought the first tickets for elon musk‘s 2023 mission to the moon. he doesn't want to travel into space alone though. i met up with the avid art collector at the louis vuitton foundation in paris where his $110 million basquiat painting is currently on show. ever since i was a kid, i have loved the moon very much. after hearing about spacex,
6:56 am
at what point did you start to think, yes, i actually want to go and do this? yusaku wants to bring artists along with him, at his expense, to see how their experience inspires their work. so right now there are still a lot of things in question,
6:57 am
a lot needs to be developed. how likely do you think is that this is going to go ahead? so you trust elon musk, you know him, do you like him, are you friends, would you like him to come? he is crazy, like me. (laughs). is he crazy enough to want to go to the moon? i am very honoured to do that. what do you hope that you may come back thinking, feeling, or having learnt? how much does a ticket to the moon cost? he is crazy, like me. (laughs). is he crazy enough to want to go to the moon? what do you hope that you may come back thinking,
6:58 am
feeling, or having learnt? how much does a ticket to the moon cost? i cannot say about that. but huge. hundreds of millions? you're not allowed to say... thank you very much. and safe journey. thank you. you want to go? really? i mean, iwasn't expecting an invite! that is it for the short version of click. the full version can be found on bbc iplayer. you can keep track of what we are up
