the fiancee of the journalist jamal khasoggi has spoken for the first time about her pain following his murder. in a tearful interview with a turkish television channel, hatice cengiz spoke of her panic when mr khashoggi did not emerge from the saudi consulate in istanbul. a constitutional crisis has erupted in sri lanka where the president has appointed his predecessor and former rival mahinda rajapa ksa as the new prime minister. but the coalition‘s leader ranil wickramasinghe insists that he is still prime minister and says he still commands a majority in parliament. the billionaire businessman sir philip green has told the bbc he'll lodge a formal complaint against the labour peer lord hain, who named him in parliament as the man facing allegations of sexual and racist harrassment. it comes after it was revealed lord hain is a paid adviser to the law firm representing the newspaper that wants to publish the allegations.

lord hain says he was unaware the lawyers were involved in the case. sir philip green denies any wrongdoing. emma simpson has the latest. sir philip green, one of the country's most colourful tycoons, owner of a retail empire, never far from the headlines, and now he's embroiled in yet more controversy with allegations of sexual and racial harassment. his name was made public by former cabinet minister peter hain, using rules that stop those talking in parliament from being sued. i feel it's my duty under parliamentary privilege to name philip green as the individual in question. after days of speculation, sir philip has become front—page news. up until then, there had been an injunction in place by three seniorjudges, stopping the daily telegraph from naming him. it's now fired up a debate about whether parliamentary privilege is being misused. tonight, the former head of the judiciary of england and wales has weighed in.

he used parliamentary privilege in a way which is entirely inappropriate. parliamentary privilege is not meant to allow individual members of either house to interfere with the process of the courts. whatever we think of sir philip — and i don't know the man — but he's not the world's most popular person at the moment, he's entitled to go to a court, just like anybody else. it's emerged in the parliamentary register of interests that peter hain is a paid adviser at the law firm gordon dadds, used by the daily telegraph. he's categorically denied he was aware of its work on this case. gordon dadds said he had had no involvement either. do you mind not looking at me like that all the time. it's really disturbing. sir philip has had more than his fair share of brushes with mps, and some think it's right that he was named. these allegations have been swirling around all week, and they are only allegations at this stage, but there's a very

strong public interest reason why people deserve to be told who they were about, and let's not forget, this is because this man tried to hush up the complainants, or alleged victims, and also the press, and it shouldn't be that the rich and powerful can buy their way out of trouble against the poor and impotent. there was no sign of sir philip at his home in monaco today, nor his yacht in the marina. but he's already given a statement saying "to the extent it is suggested that i've been guilty of unlawful sexual or racist behaviour, i categorically and wholly deny these allegations." so what now? the telegraph has written to sir philip asking that the injunction be dropped. while the paper is still protecting the details of the allegations, that seems unlikely. if both sides dig in, then a trial is expected in the new year, which will determine what can be published.

now on bbc news, it's time for click. this week we are back injapan with new lakes, spare arms, and too many heads. hallow japan and, you hallowjapan and, you are hallow japan and, you are looking fab. —— hello. it is great to be

backin fab. —— hello. it is great to be back in this crazy old world of the future. in the middle of tokyo it feels like you can see the years and yea rs. feels like you can see the years and years. here is a country that is no longer afraid to mix globalfashions with its own unique culture. and it isa with its own unique culture. and it is a place that loves, loves, loves a robot. they have been dreaming of them since astro boy in the 1950s and as the world of robotics has advanced, some of their visions are coming true. but even before we have properly intelligent robots, could this be the country to bring forth the superhumans? it is time to meet the superhumans? it is time to meet the machines that may one day be augmenting humans, and the humans behind the machines. camera, camera.

yourface. behind the machines. camera, camera. your face. my face, sorry about that. this robot certainly has pulled in a big audience. as you have probably guessed, those were preprogrammed moves, and like many robot that we have seen to that this is a self balancing robot, which means it does pretty well at staying upright. but one day this robot may be taught to work autonomously. toyota is looking at ways to train machines using human operators, whose movements are synchronised to their heirs. —— tevez. the operator wears a virtual reality headset to show them the robot's perspective. it's really strange. because i know there is someone on strange. because i know there is someone on the other side of these eyes. it feels like this robot is

looking at me. one of the most impressive things about thr—3 is it dexterity. and the controller gives its operator when touching and interacting with objects. what is really interesting is that not only can the operator control the robot's arms, hands and fingers during the data gloves but he can actually feel what the robot feels. as the robot grasps the object, he can feel the resista nce grasps the object, he can feel the resistance of that object in his fingers. and actually the entire robot there is anything that it senses back to the operator. —— mirrors. it can feel the fact that it is being pushed. that means that the operator can sense what is happening to the robot, even if it bums into something that they can't see they still know it is there. translation: these technologies can be made to work in many industries. at first we want to develop the

robot is to assist with everyday household chores. and then in the future for telly working, to remotely support work that is more physically demanding. —— teleworking. toyota is not suggesting that all robots will be humanoid in the future, at the moment this isjust humanoid in the future, at the moment this is just experiment into how humans light show robots what to do. but how about a robot that can show the human what to do? this is fusion, my new robot accpac. fist bump? —— backpack. i now have four arms, two of which are controlled by someone arms, two of which are controlled by someone else who is wearing the virtual reality headset. the surrogates can be mounted on your body and then he can actually assess your motion and guide your motion. it is kind of like skill transfer. the operator of the robotic arms

could be on the other side of the world, really can teach you things. they can pick things up and they can even grab my arms and move them around. we wanted to create this kind of collaboration idea between two people, they are sharing the same body. if we share the same body, we share the same point of view, then this probably will enhance the quality of communication. it takes a bit of getting used to, but once you do, it is time for the hard work to begin. can you scratch my nose funny? —— for me. (laughs). as strange as an experienced as it is to have someone else's movements on the back, i'm betting it will be even stranger from the other side. so as i move my head around, sensors track that motion and the robot head moves in

response. different buttons enable different finger functions of so i can move each finger individually, ori can move each finger individually, or i can move them all simultaneously with a single button which allows me to grip and object. iam grabbing which allows me to grip and object. i am grabbing the ball! oh! perhaps one day in the future, fusion will be used to help two people worked together when they far apart. for the moment though, being my personal assistant will be just perfect. you have got a phone call! hello? yeah, iam have got a phone call! hello? yeah, i am really busy, can you talk to my personal assistant? thank you. hello! yes. copy that. all clear. i love the vision here. it is not

unique by any means, there are plenty of these kind of ideas in many university around the world, but every so often japan many university around the world, but every so oftenjapan and still throws up something special. so let's pop over to the brain department. which fortunately, is not here. come with me. we have been invited to a very special place. this is a one's advanced technology centre. not many people get to go inside. —— this is nissan's advanced technology centre. in this modern, airy creative space which is unusual forjapan, engineers, scientists and designers worked together on some pretty advanced projects. in the name of technology. this is the brain to vehicle research centre. it is not telepathic driving, at this

headset is measuring my real—time brain activity. the idea is that one day it will predict what i'm about to dojust day it will predict what i'm about to do just before i day it will predict what i'm about to dojust before i do it. there have been experiments which have shown that long before we realise that we have made a decision, our brain has started making their decision. there is electrical activity in our brain about 1.5 seconds before we realise we have conducted an act of free will. it means that if you are a particularly bad driver, the car can begin to react as soon as bad driver, the car can begin to react as soon as your bad driver, the car can begin to react as soon as your brain registers that you want to turn or break. but before your handle your feet actually make the move. on tight corners like these it means that your car may one day smooth out your late reactions, and make you feel a better driver than you actually are. the computer cannot

actually are. the computer cannot actually tell what movement you want to make, all it can detect is activity in your motor cortex, the pa rt activity in your motor cortex, the part of the brain associated with movement. the car's sensors will then check for bends in the road and other cars and work out what it was you wanted to do. we should develop smart systems, and this is a smart system, that should not all the time be replacing the human being, but in many cases should be enhancing the human capabilities. and this brain to vehicle, it is doing this kind of thing, it is connecting human intelligence with artificial intelligence, not replacing this one, but to enhance it. hello and welcome to the week in tech. it was the week that ute said a clean airfee tech. it was the week that ute said a clean air fee will be added to all london fares starting in early 2019. the extra money will be used to help

drivers buy electric cars. —— uber. electric scooters were banned from sidewalks in the city of madrid and does this single —— signal the death of the disks? john lewis announced it would stop selling dvds. also this week netflix, which are ready has over $8 billion in debt, plans to fund new content by getting further into debt. the video streaming company will add another $2 billion to the amount it already owes. apple and samsung were fined millions of euros each for software update that the italian authorities say deliberately slow down users that was fiennes. samsung says it will appeal the fine, apple has yet to make a statement. the water abundant xprize, which challenges people to harvest what from thin air. it has a winner. these machines can pull water from the air. it has a winner. these machines can pull waterfrom the hour, condense it and condense it into

water, up to 300 gallons a day. and to round things up check out this mini flying robot. the insect inspired robot can pull objects up to 40 inspired robot can pull objects up to a0 times its weight. stanford university says it can be used for search and rescue missions by helping find victims, carry water or move debris. 0k. a ok. a quick breakfrom japan ok. a quick break from japan to look at the biggest video games released of recent times. we got react as to the team behind it. red dead redemption two gives players access to the old west. i am waiting for someone to the old west. i am waiting for someone interesting to turn up. rockstar are huge deal. they are behind the gta series. even if you

have never touched a controller, you know what grand theft auto is. you know what grand theft auto is. you know that this is the biggest entertainment product. —— grand theft auto. grand theft auto made $6 billion. that leaves every thing else in the dust. it is so big it has had to be greeted with nine different studios and for different countries. rockstar north here in edinburgh is the largest of these tutors working again. not many get a glimpse inside the building. security and secrecy is tight. well, there is a rare treat? located in there is a rare treat? located in the former home of the scotsman newspaper, they're so secretive around here, we were only able to film the bulging awards cabinet. erin hills was out of bounds. we got to me one of their head honchos, though, robb nelson. this world has consolation. rockstar north is

famous for creating games with open world. —— record. what is new in this open world? is a big scam we have ever made. notjust bigger and broader, but being to go into more environments. and when you go into those environments, being to pick up interact with things and bin you to interact with things and bin you to interact with things and bin you to interact with people and animals and with the world in a way that we have not been able to do before. we were tragic really world that you believe m, tragic really world that you believe in, a character that you believe in. you have to have a connection. so we a lwa ys you have to have a connection. so we always try to push, i think with every game, to go deeper with that, you know, without idea. to me something, things need to cost something. in the old game, if your site, he whistled a new ones came all stop it was very convenient. but it meant that the horses were somewhat disposable. so we decided

that the horses will not be disposable. if you go too far from your horse, it will not come back to you. you will have to go back to there. but if you spend more time with his horse, you will bond with it, and that it will come to you from a greater distance. or it will stay with you under duress. it might be less afraid to go to this one where there are alligators. things like that which we balance. so are you pushing the boundaries of what is capable with interactive entertainment at the moment?” is capable with interactive entertainment at the moment? i think everything that we have done is to serve that goal and to really try to blur the lines between on mission and of mission and what is narrative and of mission and what is narrative and what is ambient open world experience. finding a balance between realism and believability. you hope that you hit it as close as you can, but you don't know until people play it. that was mark. meanwhile, back in japan. .. people play it. that was mark. meanwhile, back injapan... they are now walking. mitsuko suffered from

polio as a child researcher at a wheelchair until now. today, she is wearing a hal suit. hal: hybrid assisted limbs. this suit to take signals and that they could move. so you can't lose your arms or your legs, the suit still detects the signals so it can walk for you. for example, if i stop my arm from moving but flex their muscles, it still detects the will to movie legs. the disabilities are often caused by a damage and disconnected

nervous system between what the brain wants to do and resulting muscle movements. but in severe cases, there are still weak electrical signals that you may get through. and just to prove that it is detecting intention, rather than copying any detected movement, if it is not my brain making my limbs move, the suit doesn't replicate. hal is being used for rehabilitation in serious spinal cord entries and other neuromuscular diseases, where previously patients had no prospect of being to move their legs again. while the central nervous system is destroyed. —— once the central nervous system is destroyed, the ninos knows never created. even such kind of very severe patient who broke the spinal cord completely, i found even such kind of damaged areas, some neurons are created. the

legs of austria purpose is not to strengthen muscles but to rebuild the new rural loop between brain and legs. the purpose of this device is to facilitate synaptic connections between the nurse and the nose, or the nose and the muscles, in order to establish the suitable girl circuits. we watched the development of these power assistance is four yea rs of these power assistance is four years here on click. but one thing is was concerned me. the committee that makes this robot suit has chosen to call itself hal. and now i asked the founder of the company if he knew that this was the same company that makes the terminator.

after naming the company cyberdine, after that somebody told me, talk to me, that the name is similar to the terminators movies. similar? it is the same, man! coincidence it is. moving on. really, this isjust the start of the exoskeleton story. the next but we go to steve, who is in nara city, in the west of japan. this man has been tried to make exos keleton this man has been tried to make exoskeleton is a relative of 15 yea rs. exoskeleton is a relative of 15 years. while they have come a long way from some of their earlier prototypes, only now are the legs trying to leave the labs. —— starting. very to meet doctor. should i step in? it is not like putting a normal trousers, is that? what you want me to do? lovely. so

these are the prototype robotic trousers. the idea is if you're working in the woods, say, planting a forest of you might wear these, and it would help you with the load and it would help you with the load and also help you navigate the touraine. please, switch on my trousers. —— the terrain. just offer a stroll. it is interesting to see the different forms exoskeleton is can take, from full body suits to power without that helps with one task or one part of the body. this prototype was designed to help people working in nuclear power stations navigate while wearing heavy protective suits. don't be like walking? no problem. it can also roll along. bloor speed is not your strong point, it can also go upstairs. powered where was the more

common use, the limitations of physical power could be expanded. populations could continue to be a workforce even into old age. many of the prototypes have been designed to tackle very specific problems, but at one has bigger problems. translation: firstly, human augmentation could open up new opportunities for everyone, and their behaviour and actions could change. this could really change the way we live. secondly, paulo where may become part of popular fashion, just lay choosing your favourite outfit, if human augmentation becomes a natural part of our body. the getting people to see use these things means making a simpler, lighter, and cheaper. this one is called himeko. it is easier to put

on and use. it isjust a couple called himeko. it is easier to put on and use. it is just a couple of pads connected to ropes connected to the pack back here. itjust is a little bit of help walking. it might be the elderly people who have trouble walking, it could encourage them to go outside. orjust help people who walk around a lot in theirjob and get tired. this just as the load. it is quite subtle. they can feel it is doing something. over the course of the day, that is when you might notice the difference. so this little demonstration gives an idea of what the exoskeleton is doing. i have this 25 kg weight here, but i can move it, just using my finger. really, i am move it, just using my finger. really, iam not move it, just using my finger. really, i am not making any effort at all. this is taking all the way, but i'm still in control of what happens. that is what happens with the exoskeleton. packing or that it is you would be happy wearing every day, though, is the real challenge. this is the model y they're selling,

you consider boxes around here. their salaries in industries across japan, and the idea is to get a little help to protect your back. removing crates around every day, this will give you help when you stand up and put things down, cedar. this is like a simple backpack, and it is giving a little bit of extra ball and protection when you move. soi ball and protection when you move. so i have a 25 kg crate of beer here, the party having later. there we go, back protected. off i go. that was steve. i never dig at my invite to that party. —— did get will stop anyway, as far—fetched as they seem, japan is exactly the place where these robot machinations really ca n place where these robot machinations really can take form. its ageing population and drinking workforce means robots are needed. at its love

of technology means they are welcome. it has been and other ea rthshattering, welcome. it has been and other earthshattering, highflying, welcome. it has been and other ea rthshattering, highflying, eye opening visit. but that is it from here. for now. thanks forjoining us. here. for now. thanks forjoining us. sayonara! hello. cold arctic air in place across the weekend. summers with glorious sunshine and others with shower after shower, particularly in areas

exposed to the strong northerly wind. northern scotland, the showers wintry on hills. icy start here. northern ireland, showers, icy places to begin with. north sea coasts, western parts of wales, the far west of england, showers penetrating inland through more of east anglia, the south—east, through the afternoon. once you factor in the afternoon. once you factor in the wind, it feels cold. showers on saturday night, the degree north sea coasts. on sunday, it will push on land once again. temperatures low once again across northern part of the uk going to sunday morning as the uk going to sunday morning as the wind eases, lighter winds with plenty of sunshine. more of us on sunday will be dry and sunny. the wind stronger, particularly through the east and south—east of england, where you may catch a passing shower. it still feels cold. welcome to bbc news,
