6:00 am
good morning. welcome to breakfast, with tina daheley and charlie stayt. our headlines today: theresa may heads to brussels for last—minute talks with the eu, as spain and the dup threaten to derail her brexit deal. a us government report gives a sharp warning about climate change, just days after donald trump questioned the effects of global warning. polly, put the kettle on. could you have a rare clip of david attenborough hiding in your attic? scientists call for the public‘s help to track down a missing tv lecture. in sport, a welsh warning to the world. if they beat south africa this afternoon, they will have won all four autumn internationals, for the first time, with the world cup less than a year away. good morning. it is looking pretty chilly again this weekend for most of us. at least on the plus side most of us. at least on the plus side m ost pla ces of us. at least on the plus side most places will be dry. there are some rain in the forecast, especially across southern areas, so dromey later for a especially across southern areas, so dromey laterfor a full especially across southern areas, so dromey later for a full weather round—up. ——join
6:01 am
dromey later for a full weather round—up. —— join me. it is saturday 2a november. our top story: theresa may is heading to brussels to attempt to finalise her brexit deal with eu leaders. the prime minister is hoping the plans will be approved at a summit on sunday, but spain's prime minister has threatened to derail the timetable if he doesn't get further reassurances over the status of gibraltar. here is our political correspondent chris mason. roll up, roll up, the prime minister does not quite say, but you get the picture. the government is setting its stall out wherever you might hear, see, or read it. but for this weekend at least, the focus is turning from here at westminster, away from flooding the deal domestically, and the prime minister hops over the channel instead, to ensure that the eu is fully signed up to it. theresa may has for brussels later to meet two of the biggies of that city — the president
6:02 am
of the commission, jean—claude juncker, and the european council president, donald tusk. but it is showtime tomorrow. leaders are gathering for the big brexit summit. but spain wants more reassurance about gibraltar. translation: regarding gibraltar, let me tell you, the guarantees are not enough. therefore spain maintains its veto on the brexit deal. and that is not the end of it. northern ireland's democratic unionists sound like they're threatening to pull the plug on that if the prime minister's plan is not approved by mps. that plan was about delivering on brexit. if this is not going to deliver on brexit, then of course that brings us back to the situation of looking at the confidence and supply, but we're not there yet.
6:03 am
you might feel that this is quite enough about brexit, but it is about to get even louder still. chris mason, bbc news. the leader of the democratic unionist party, arlene foster, is expected to reiterate her opposition to the proposed brexit deal when she addresses its annual conference today. the dup is concerned that plans to prevent checks on the irish border would leave northern ireland too closely tied to the eu. last night, mrs foster said her party would reconsider its agreement to prop up mrs may's government if the brexit deal was passed by parliament. climate change will cost the us hundreds of billions of dollars by the end of the century, according to a major government report. it says human health and agriculture are seriously at risk, and the poor will suffer most. the white house has dismissed the findings as inaccurate. here is our north america correspondent james cook. this, say many scientists, is what climate change looks like. in recent years, california has seen bigger, deadlier and more destructive wildfires than ever before. during a cold snap in washington this week, president trump tweeted,
6:04 am
"whatever happened to global warming?" now, his own government experts have answered the question. it is here, they say. its effects are serious, and without dramatic change, they will be catastrophic. already, says the report, more frequent and intense storms like hurricane harvey, which ravaged houston and texas, are destroying property and may damage critical infrastructure such as bridges, power plants and oil refineries. crop yields and labour productivity will decline. there will be a rise in the spread of tropical disease. the poorest americans will be ha rdest—hit. one of the things that's quite striking about the report, for example, is that we could see a future where the south—eastern parts of the united states experience forest fire seasons that look like what happens in the west right now. the scientists say substantial and sustained reductions in global greenhouse gas emissions are essential, and they do report some progress.
6:05 am
without major, urgent action, says the report, the impacts of climate change will soon cascade into every corner of american life. the home office is investigating how an adult asylum seeker was allowed to take up a place at a school in ipswich. the man, who was posing as a 15—year—old, enrolled at stoke high school. it is believed he may be as old as 30, and could now face deportation. early reports say black friday spending is smaller overall. compared with the same period 12 months ago it is down, and the company responsible for processing half of credit card transactions has confirmed this. results will be disappointing for retailers who were hoping for a strong start to the christmas shopping season.
6:06 am
the national crime agency has issued a warning to organised gangs, which it says are behind a recent spike in illegal attempts to cross the english channel. on friday, eight iranian people were brought ashore after their dinghy was spotted off the coast of kent. it brings the total number of suspected migrants to have reached the uk this month to 101. our reporter keith doyle has more. these men were found in a dinghy by a border force patrol boat in the channel yesterday. the eight men, who say they are are you were taken into custody and interviewed by immigration officers —— iranian. the day before, 14 people were found in two indies in the channel. french authorities found another 11 suspected migrants on the same day. there has been a huge rise in the number of people trying to cross the channel in small boats. in the past month, 101 suspected migrants have been found, including nine people found on rocks at folkestone. three boats with 2a suspected migrants,
6:07 am
including a toddler, were picked up off ramsgate. and seven men were rescued from a dinghy after making a distress call. and the home office and french authorities work together to put a stop to this trafficking network. nearly 100 refugees have been coming across the channel in recent weeks. it only a matter of time before there is a tragedy, and thatis time before there is a tragedy, and that is why the home office in particular needs to get a grip and have a plan. national crime agency says organised crime groups are using these small craft to traffic people, but they are working with the french authorities to stop them. this week, two men were jailed for eight years for smuggling people across the channel. this is one of the inflatable boats they used. most people smuggling takes place at ports, but increased security there and calm weather may be making more people risk their lives by trying to ci’oss people risk their lives by trying to cross the channel in small, totally craft. a new nasal swab test for flu which can give a diagnosis injust 20 minutes has helped to significantly reduce bed—blocking
6:08 am
and unnecessary admissions in hospitals. it was used in trials at two hospital trusts in norwich and south london, and avoids the need to put patients in isolation. other flu tests can take several days to return results. the search is on for missing footage of sir david attenborough first aired on the bbc more than 50 years ago. staff at the royal institution are asking the public to look in their attics for any recordings of their christmas science lectures, including those by sir attenborough, after realising 31 broadcasts are missing from their collection. our correspondent david sillito has been to find out more. we will have a little proteins dance. carl sagan in 1977, doing the protein dance. very good. can you get a different note on it? christopher and the science of
6:09 am
music. you must be calming down, robert. how do you feel now compared to before? these lectures have been a christmas tradition since 1825, and were first broadcast on the bbc in 1936. but not all of them have survived in the archive. some of david attenborough's lectures from 1973 have gone missing. there are also gaps in 66,67, 1973 have gone missing. there are also gaps in 66, 67, 69,70 and 70 one. the royal institution wants to put all of these televised lectures online and is asking the public if they have copies of the missing programmes hidden in a loft or stored in a garage. they were television's first ever science programme, and they are hoping that some of their technologically inclined viewers might be able to help them complete the full collection. the search is on. we have the weather and the sport coming up in a
6:10 am
little while. in the war—torn region of gaza, more than 5,000 people have suffered gunshot wounds this year alone. the violence creates a challenging workload for local surgeons, who perform long and complex procedures under the guiding hand ofjohn wolfe, a retired consultant from st mary's hospital in west london. our middle east correspondent tom bateman went to meet him. this is a conflict that has changed even more lives this year. thousands of palestinians in gaza have suffered bullet wounds during protests at the perimeter fence with israel. it has put intense pressure on gaza's hospitals. you just open your fingers, let go... in this makeshift classroom, palestinian surgeons learn the painstaking work of repairing arteries and avoiding amputation. they practise on goats' arteries, and learn from a british arterial surgeon, a world leader in his field. palestinians have protested since
6:11 am
march, demanding a right to return. israel defends the use of live ammunition, pointing to violent attacks against its troops, stirred up, it says, by gaza's militant leaders. this is another person being brought in as the protests at the fence continue. the problem is that each of these cases, as the numbers build up, require specialist surgical skills, in a healthcare system already under pressure, and which lacks doctors. this volume of severe injuries is something that most countries never see. there are a lot of bullet wounds. as you know, there have been now over 5,000 bullet wounds since the end of march, and i was asked to come three years ago to try and improve the standards of arterial surgery in gaza, and train up people in arterial surgery here.
6:12 am
there aren't enough, certainly when there's conflict, there aren't enough arterial surgeons. no, don't touch. just leave — just let him work. john wolfe came to gaza with the international red cross. in surgery with palestinian medics, he passes on more than a0 years of experience. that's good, that's good. now you are in business. learning from him is ahmed, who now leads a small team of arterial surgeons at this hospital. they have performed conflict operations on more than 140 bullet wounds since march. gunshot injury, in the left leg... it took four hours of surgery to save this woman's leg. translation: i felt like i was dying, but they brought me back to life. i am truly grateful to the doctors. every friday, more young people come back from the fence
6:13 am
with severe injuries. the training from a british surgeon has helped save limbs, but in gaza's overcrowded wards, the risk of infection which could mean amputation, still looms. more lives changed as this conflict continues. let's look at the front pages. footage of the met police knocking suspected criminals from their mopeds makes the front page of the times. the tactic has been labelled as controversial, but the article says it has helped cut this type of offence by a third. the idea was it had grown around that if the police were chasing them with their helmets, they wouldn't follow. the guardian leads with its own
6:14 am
investigation into companies which own the uk's worst—rated care homes. firms which own homes assessed as inadequate made a total profit of £113 million last year, the paper says. the mail features a leaked email from the company which runs kent's out—of—hours gp care. according to the paper, there were two gps on duty over one weekend in september. we were talking about this new government initiative which said there would be emergency squads of doctors and nurses available. new money being allowed to that. that is
6:15 am
the situation in kent on sunday morning. and finally, the sun leads with a story on chelsea fc footballer n'golo ka nte, who has signed a deal which will see him pay more tax than amazon and starbucks combined. the 27—year—old chose not to use a scheme to be paid via offshore firms, meaning he will pay £6.7 million in tax. let's look at some of the front pages, a full review of the paper is a bit later on. here is stav with a look at this morning's weather. how cold is it going to be? good morning. it's going to be pretty cold. look at this cold easterly wind. things are set to change. it's great to be chilly this weekend. the most of us, dry. the
6:16 am
sunshine, rein in the forecast. affecting southern counties of the country. further north is largely influenced by higher pressure. loud, mr merck. a few showers across eastern areas. yesterday was very heavy rain. it looks like the rain will affect southern counties of england. even further north into the midlands, you could see rain tapping into the afternoon. the breeze coming off the north sea but northwest england, south—west scotland, probably the best of the sunshine through the afternoon. it's going to be on the chilly side, temperatures ranging between and nine degrees, a few degrees cooler than was yesterday. it stays pretty
6:17 am
damp across southern areas. can find more to the channel coast, i think. again, lengthy clear skies. we are still in that cold easterly wind for sunday. a similar story i think tomorrow. again, some showers across eastern scotland. we still got that area of low pressure, bringing some rain in towards southern counties, perhaps in towards the south—east. stage into the forecast. monday is the last day at these quiet, cooled, settled days. the sunshine will break through to central areas. a few showers across. attached virus wealth. single figure values for
6:18 am
all. it is all about to change from tuesday onwards. we pick up a south—westerly. milder conditions as you can see here. it's going to turn very windy. severe gales on wednesday into thursday. tuesday again, anotherfairly wednesday into thursday. tuesday again, another fairly cool day. outbreaks of rain moving to the south—west. wednesday, double figures but very windy. outbreaks of rain but also sunshine. big changes on the way. time for a look now at this week's film review. hello and welcome to the film rreview on bbc news. to take us through this week's cinema releases is mark kermode. so mark, what do we have this week? it is a funny old week.
6:19 am
we have assassination nation which is a violent satire. we have a new take on robin hood. and the girl in the spiders web. there was a film out a few years ago called unfriended and this was one of those films in which the audience were saying, turn the laptop off! but the whole point is, you can't. this is set in salem, massachusetts where four young women it's good to this is set in salem, massachusetts where four young women find themselves a victim of a witchunt after a huge data breach, somebody hacks the collective data of the town. it is a town, and suddenly they start releasing everybody‘s secret onto the internet. all this anger and hatred is slowly turned towards these four women. meanwhile, the division between people about this breach of data divide between the older generation and the younger generation. here is a clip. yeah, there's two types
6:20 am
of people in this world. the people who have come to terms with privacy isjust dead. then there' the old people that are still trying to fight it. i guess. i mean, the internet is amazing. this guy in minnesota is like 42, whatever. but basically, he subscribed to my amazon wishlist and now, legit, he just buys me (bleep) all of a sudden. why? i don't know, i guess he really likes my insta. he likes that i'm really real and i'm cool and i'm a free soul. it's really sad because basically 90% of people are just so sad and lonely and have such an unfulfilling life. if i'm, like, inspiring people, you know, and my life is so call and people connected me on such a level, then, like, basically, myjob
6:21 am
for the day is done. like, mark, did you connect, like, with this film? you laughed at that clip. it is on the money. what i like about it is, on the one hand there is echoes of films like heathers and to some extent clueless. obviously the crucible because are in salem. and it also has a very strong dose of a film like the purge in which society descends into anarchy. we begin with people rampaging around with masks on and the voice—over says, how is it this civilised society turned into this? these four women are being chased. it is scratching away at the surface of the modern world and saying underneath it, all those old hatreds, witchhunts instincts are still there. i really liked it. it walks on a knife edge between social exploration and gleeful exploitation. i think some people will find it too tough, people will find it savage, some will find it too violent.
6:22 am
i didn't. it had a real bite, i liked how self—aware it was and i went in only knowing the title and thinking, this may work, it may not. i was surprisingly impressed even from an old man's point of view. i thought is was sharp! i thought it was sharp! you're not old at all! i think i've seen almost every tv and film version of robin hood! will i like this one? did you like what guy richie did with the legend of king arthur? no. you are in the same territory. you won't like this. what this does, it gives you a modern robin hood so there is a lot of these geezery inflections. robin is sent off to the crusades, he's got a bow and arrow and somewhow the action sequences, you keep expecting helicopters to come overhead. it's a self—consciously modern... taron egerton is robin and ben mendelsohn has a ball as the sheriff of nottingham which is always the best role
6:23 am
in robin hood films. you remember alan rickman completely stealing robin hood prince of thieves away from kevin costner? in the case of this, it's not so much revisionist asjust rubbishing the old version. there is a bit in the beginning where a voiceover says, i will not give you a history lesson but you don't want that, i'll give you this instead. positive front, ben mendelsohn has fun as the sheriff of nottingham wearing an outfit which appears to be left over from a fetish cosplay party. and something that makes no sense. it is nothing but swagger but doesn't have enough of that to carry it through. literally, it leaves you thinking, is this more or less ridiculous than russell crowe's accent when he did robin hood? may own feeling is, the russell crowe version was more boring but this is more stupid. now, claire foy, formerly known as the queen, now known as the girl in the spider's web.
6:24 am
she's the latest incarnation of lisbeth salander. it is written by david lagercrantz. he took over from stig larsson. she's is an avenging angel and is called to steal a programme from nasa which can access all the world's computer codes. everybody wants it and it will fall into the hands of the wrong people, particularly a group called the spiders. where as previous instalments of this series were basically psychological thrillers, this is much more an action adventure. no. definitely lots of action. action—packed. it doesn't have the grit of the films with noomi rapace. it's more like david fincher‘s.
6:25 am
but what it does have going for it is claire foy. the story itself goes into superhero territory. the arejumping into matte black cars and motorbikes and it looks like a batman movie. there are lots of stand—offs between people extravagantly dressed. they turn up for a battle after being in a designer shop. she's really good. even when it doesn't make sense, you believe in her character. it is interesting, from her point of view, she's taken on this role to see if she can do something she hasn't done before. she described it as like flexing a new muscle. that is what it's like. she is the strongest thing about the film. she is a reason to see the film. the rest of it is much more hollow and empty. it's playing to a mainstream audience, it doesn't have that dirt under the fingernails the original ones did. it doesn't have quite the style of fincher. action, less plot. this is a mission impossible plot. the plot is, there is a thing that allows you to have access to all the nuclear codes in the world. that is a mission impossible
6:26 am
story or a batman story, or a superman story. but it is fun, but empty, but she carries it off. fun but empty? what kind of an endorsement is that? some of the best things are fun but empty. best out? widows, i loved it, you weren't convinced. i really enjoyed it. i didn't love it as much as you. i thought there were too many characters. ironically, i thought it would make a great tv series, to explore the characters, which it was originally. it needs to be a movie, not a tv series. and this is the right thing, it has the exact right number of characters. it is a 5—star film. i remember the tv series and i thought it was great. this is a different beast. i give it four stars or maybe three, i'm not sure. three and a half! best dvd? skyscraper. the towering inferno and die hard are the same film.
6:27 am
what was it lacking? the rock. it is one of those movies that does what it says on the tin. leave your coherent facilities outside, this is a movie in which it's a bloke versus a great big building and there's a bunch of stuff that will happen. we will nick riffs from the lady of shanghai but it will be the rock jumping from one high thing to another. i love the rock, i love the towering inferno, i really enjoyed skyscraper. you never leave your facilities outside the cinema, mark? i think the smurfs sequel was a challenge for me. all right, thanks so very much for being with us as ever. mark with his opinion on the week's releases. just a quick reminder before we leave you that you will find more reviews online/ mark kermode and you can find all of our previous programmes on the bbc i play. that
6:28 am
is it for this week. thank you so much watching, from ours. hello, this is breakfast, with tina daheley and charlie stayt. good morning. here is a summary of today's main stories from bbc news: theresa may is heading to brussels to attempt to finalise her brexit deal with eu leaders. the prime minister is hoping the plans, which include details on our future relationship with the european union, will be approved at a summit on sunday. but spain's prime minister has threatened to derail the timetable if he doesn't get further reassurances over the status of gibraltar. the leader of the democratic unionist party, arlene foster, is expected to reiterate her opposition to the proposed brexit deal when she addresses its annual conference today. the dup is concerned that plans to prevent checks on the irish border would leave northern ireland too closely tied to the eu. last night, mrs foster said her party would reconsider its agreement to prop up mrs may's government if the brexit deal was passed by parliament. the home office is investigating how an adult asylum seeker was allowed
6:29 am
to take up a place at a school in ipswich. the man, who was posing as a 15—year—old, enrolled at stoke high school. it is believed he may be as old as 30, and could now face deportation. climate change will cost the us hundreds of billions of dollars by the end of the centrury, according to a major government report. the white house has dismissed the findings as inaccurate, but scientists are calling for drastic action to be taken to cut carbon emissions. early reports show black friday spending has fallen compared to last year, even though there were more transactions overall. barclaycard, which is responsible for processing nearly half of all uk debit and credit card transactions, said it had seen a 12% drop in the total spent compared to the same period 12 months ago. ididn't i didn't spend a penny yesterday,
6:30 am
black friday. a new nasal swab test for flu which can give a diagnosis injust 20 minutes has helped to significantly reduce bed—blocking and unnecessary admissions in hospitals. it was used in trials at two hospital trusts in norwich and south london, and avoids the need to put patients in isolation. other flu tests can take several days to return results. the search is on for missing footage of sir david attenborough first aired on the bbc almost 50 years ago. staff at the royal institution are asking the public to look in their attics for any recordings of their christmas science lectures, including those by sir attenborough, after realising 31 broadcasts are missing from their collection. recognise this sound ? # circle of life yes, that is undeniably the lion king, but not as we know it. the trailer for the live—action retelling of the classic disney film has been released, and it has already had 21 million views in 2a hours.
6:31 am
the remake is due to hit cinemas next summer, and its cast includes the likes of beyonce, seth rogen and donald glover. i cannot wait for that to come out. ina way, i cannot wait for that to come out. in a way, it's surprising it hasn't happened before. that is like you warming up in the morning. don't give up secrets, what happens on the sofa stays on the sofa. a massive day for rugby union fans, and arguably, as we look forward to england, australia, ireland slightly easier, south africa, arguably we have seen the northern hemisphere teams getting closer to the southern hemisphere in terms of the standard, the level we are all at the head of the level we are all at the head of the world cup next year. we could potentially be going to the closest world cup ever, if you take the evidence of the last few weeks. and the final chance to really make a

mark this afternoon, with wales chasing a bit of history, trying to doa chasing a bit of history, trying to do a first—ever clean sweep in the autumn internationals. the wales manager, warren gatland, says there is no need to motivate his players today, on the final day of rugby union's autumn internationals. with the countdown to next autumn‘s world cup, they know the importance of a first—ever clean sweep of autumn victories. patrick gearey reports. while the temperatures drop, wales keep rising. past scotland, smashing through the historical mental barrier of australia. look at these, look what it means. way beyond tonna. now, for south africa. the springboks play wildebeest rugby, a lwa ys springboks play wildebeest rugby, always boisterous, occasionally brutal, and wales will be without their pressure man, leigh halfpenny scored 730 points for his country but is still out with concussion. the welsh have other outlets. they can the welsh have other outlets. they ca n always the welsh have other outlets. they can always go wide and go north. george north scored twice in his
6:33 am
debut against south africa eight yea rs debut against south africa eight years ago. he knows what the first autumnal cleansweep would mean, a year from the world cup.|j autumnal cleansweep would mean, a year from the world cup. i think it would be huge. i think it will certainly show where we are as a nation now. i think it will certainly demonstrate where we are progressing from last world cup and this next cycle, leading to what is a big year next year. as the english autumn ends, this clout will hope this isn't another falls start. various setbacks have left him againstan various setbacks have left him against an australia side lacking direction. eddiejones was in charge all of those and yet wants no mention of them. all of that past, it is the game that counts. we know we have to be at our best because australia were put in their best performance of the... this is the game they had been waiting for, it is their last game, so we are prepared for that game, and that is all we are worried about. history is
6:34 am
for these blokes. the present is for these blokes, or some of them, anyway. after a year in which they have lost more than a one, a chance to finish how they mean to go on. england's cricketers are currently in action on the second day of their final test against sri lanka. their morning hasn't started very well, losing the final three wickets of their first innings quickly, adding only 2a runs to the overnight score, ending on 336. sri lanka have lost their first wicket, and are currently 74—1 at lunch. england's women, meanwhile, will face australia in the world t20 final in antigua at midnight. they will be looking to add to the 50 over world cup title they won last year, and captain heather knight says it is a once—in—a—career opportunity to try and become double world champions. i think it's something that we thought about, going into the
6:35 am
competition. it is not something that comes around very often, and it's been a real carrot to keep us pushing forward, to keep is improving. but like i say, we are going to have to play very well. it is broadly a once in a career opportunity that comes along and if we do manage to do it it will be a real, real achievement. we do manage to do it it will be a real, realachievement. so yes, we have put ourselves in the best possible place to go out and do that, now it is all about how we tomorrow. now, in football, i wonder if claudio ranieri will take some top tips from his mum, dubbed granieri, as he returns to the premier league at bottom club fulham. while elsewhere, liverpool travel to watford, manchester city face west ham, and the day's evening kick—off sees tottenham play chelsea at wembley. ranieri's first game in charge as fulham manager is at home to southampton. we must be calm, and continue to
6:36 am
work, because it is not possible to change everything in one night. that is important, it is important to get points, it's very important. but it also is very to maintain our mentality, never, never give up, not only in the match, but along all the season. west brom are up to second in the championship after a 2—1 victory over ipswich at portman road. west brom took the lead with this effort from jay rodriguez in the first half, and they doubled their lead when harvey barnes cut inside to fire in a second. ipswich did pull a goal back late on, but defeat sees them remain bottom of the league, and five points off safety. in scotland, celtic will be looking to extend their lead at the top of the scottish premiership when they travel to hamilton academical in today's early kick—off.
6:37 am
manager brendan rodgers wants to maintain their good form ahead of a hectic run of games. we will get a busy period, we have 11 games between now and the end of december, but it is what the players want. you know, they are all full of confidence. they have been playing really, really well, as a team over this last seven—week lock. so we will look to continue with that come the weekend. it is the golf event that has divided the sport, tiger woods against his big rival phil mickelson for a winner—ta kes—all prize of more than £7 million. no fans were allowed in. it was pay—per—view tv only, and to add the hollywood touch, movie star samuel ljackson introduced the players. some players refused to watch on tv, while graeme mcdowell said he would need wine to get through it. hope he sipped his drink slowly, as it went on and on to a 22nd hole, before mickelson finally settled it to take the money, and said his heart couldn't take any more and he would have to calm down. please welcome to the tee, tiger woods. is there a result? yes, i am
6:38 am
going to tell you. it went to the 22nd hole before phil mickelson took it, saying his heart couldn't take any more. there were these pictures you showed us yesterday, with people... it was a bit tacky, wasn't it? loads of money. formula one is in abu dhabi for the final grand prix of the season, and it is mercedes who topped second practice on friday. valtteri bottas finished ahead of red bull's max verstappen, with his red bull team mate daniel riccardo back in third and world champion lewis hamilton in fourth. in an hour's time, the way forward

for british skiing, can we become a top alpine nation by 2030? is it might or shall on skis? —— mike bushell. the number of boys being admitted to british hospitals with eating disorders has doubled since 2010, a bbc newsround investigation has found. this year, for the first time, the number of boys being treated in england has risen at a faster rate than girls. the increase has been attributed to social media, as our reporter hayley hassell has been finding out. when you see pictures online of people looking good, and then you then feel sad about it because you can't be like that. i think the ideal boy's look on social media is, like, a sixpack, shorthand, combed back, really must leak, tanned, and

you can see the veins. i feel that there is pressure on me to, like, look good on social media, because, like, people judge you from what you look like on social media. now, although there are still more girls going into hospital than boys, across britain the number of boys going into hospital with things like bulimia and anorexia has doubled since 2010. jack wasjust bulimia and anorexia has doubled since 2010. jack was just 13 when he first started controlling what he ate, and doing excessive exercise. first started controlling what he ate, and doing excessive exerciselj started losing weight in unite. i started losing weight in unite. i started to categorise food into good and bad. that's when everything started falling down, so i couldn't walk to school, i would be having panic attacks throughout the day, my heart would be palpitating, my eyes we re heart would be palpitating, my eyes were yellow and lack, i was in a very bad state. and it impacted everything. i couldn't study, i couldn't exercise, i didn't want to eat with my family, i didn't want to do anything interactive with people. ijust do anything interactive with people. i just wanted to do anything interactive with people. ijust wanted to be alone. so if i am going fora ijust wanted to be alone. so if i am going for a young boy who loved
6:41 am
exercise and loved food, love spending time with his friends and his family, all of a sudden you lost all of that. at what point did you think this has gone too far, they need help now? so the turning point was when i admitted that i had a problem. i then went to my gp, who referred me to a mental health unit for children. i was put on a mill planned for about six to seven months, and within a couple of months, and within a couple of months i was running again, i was doing all the things that i wanted to do. and how are you now? i'm great, i'm doing good. i'm running a marathon next year. wow. and i'm going to plan to do and iron man. goodness me, wow. many doctors say more boys going through the nhs means that more are getting their help they need. but some health experts say that the growing popularity on social media, with its emphasis on physical appearance, could be making things worse.l emphasis on physical appearance, could be making things worse. a lot of the social media platforms like instagram are all about posting images, and the impact it can have is that you are led to believe that
6:42 am
thatis is that you are led to believe that that is how you should look. and seeing that constantly can make you feel bad, can make you feel that you are not good enough. and then they can actually have an affect on your mood, on your emotional health. we have asked instagram what they do to protect children from seeing over edited children to make images that might affect their mental health, and they say they don't allow content on instagram that might encourage eating disorders and they ask users to report anything that u psets ask users to report anything that upsets them. they also have tools to help users limit their time online. although there is no medical evidence to say that social media causes eating disorders, jack says it makes things worse for him. social media for me going through anorexia was... i just social media for me going through anorexia was... ijust didn't need to see or use my energy scrolling and looking through things like that. everyone has a right to now comment, and to... to say something about your... your image or whatever
6:43 am
you are doing in life. i think that is where social media can be harmful. it isa it is a really interesting subject. here's stav with a look at this morning's weather. another chilly weekend in store, mostly dry thanks to higher pressure that there will be a bit of rain infecting southern counties of england. over the last 2a hours across the south—west, thanks to this area of low pressure you can see further north, this area of high pressure influencing its force across the country but continuing to bring this cold easterly wind. being quite a bit of clout. most of the rain will be across the south and south—west. i think generally from the south of the m4 corridor is where will see the heaviest of the rain. a bit of rain pushing further northwards, very patchy. because he just a bit of sunshine breaking through the cloud. certainly east of
6:44 am
the pennines, staying cloudy. south—west scotland seeing some sunshine. northern ireland, variable cloud. it's great to be a chilly day with the east, north—east wind. 6— nine degrees. this evening, rain begins to ease away i think, from southern coastal parts of england. it will turn went through the night the channel islands. elsewhere, variable cloud and a few clear spells. it's going to be chilly with a bit of frost, temperatures holding above freezing where you have the cloud. still has that cold easterly wind for sunday as well. the thickest crowd of clout across eastern parts. it could return in and might affect the south—east of england through the day. we get
6:45 am
sunshine, not too bad. monday, we start the new working week and it's the last day of cold weather. variable cloud and mr merck and a few sunny spells. still, we are in single figures. that is all about to change from tuesday onwards. we start to see come back to life. deep areas of low pressure will bring a seedier than to come back to life. deep areas of low pressure will bring this mild air to our shores. along with it, we will steve —— see some wet and windy weather. the temperature is beginning to climb on wednesday. double figure values the most. there could be of disruption. back to you. 648 right now. it's time for this week's click.
6:46 am
the californian wildfires are the deadliest the state has ever seen. they have claimed the lives of more than 80 people, hundreds are missing, and whole towns have been destroyed. but, as residents tried to escape, the firefighters did what they always do. they ran towards the danger. it is a profession that relies on courage, education, and increasingly, the latest science and technology, to better understand how fires behave, and how to beat back the flames. and, if you want to be
6:47 am
a firefighter, this is where you learn your craft. the international fire training centre in darlington, in the north of england. this is where brave firefighters come from around the world to learn the latest techniques in fighting all kinds of blazes. they can simulate a huge variety of fire scenarios here. oil rigs, industrialfires, that's an overturned fuel tanker, and they can simulate any size of aircraft, from the smallest to the largest. that is an airbus a380, and this is a boeing 747. and it is notjust about gearing up and grabbing the hose. every fire is different. and each needs to be treated intelligently to make sure that you, and the people you're trying to save, have the best chance of survival. wow. oh, my goodness.
6:48 am
they're using the water as a protective shield. so they're keeping the two fires apart using the water, keeping the left at bay and then extinguishing the right one, before we deal with the left. the centre tries to make the fire as realistic as possible. not just the fire, but the treatment of the casualties, too. it's fascinating to see the science behind firefighting. for example, in a kerosene fuel fire, water won't put it out. this cone of water controls the blaze, so that another firefighter can come in with a powder extinguisher. that is what finally tames the flames.
6:49 am
and, once they're gone, does that mean the job is done? well, that's where this thermal imaging camera comes in, to see what our eyes cannot. so, once it looks like the fire is out, you still have to cover the area in water, just in case there are some hotspots. you can see here the vent in the top of this engine is still white—hot, according to this thermal imaging camera. and there are many other ways to detect and deal with fires, and lara lewington has been looking at some of them. for the past two years, half of the uk's fire brigades have been deploying these drones. they focus on the safety of firefighters, and their on—board hd and thermal imaging cameras can provide much greater visibility, which means a better understanding of a fire and the way that it's spreading. using a drone, we can get pretty much an instant overview of the whole fire in less than five minutes. and start moving our machines and firefighters around like chess pieces, really, all controlled by drone footage. it brings a massive benefit, as we can see fires as they're developing.
6:50 am
the team here have also used them for rescues and searching for people in quarries or water. the hd camera being able to clearly zoom in on a face up to a mile away. but of course, when it comes to the spread of fires, what's happened recently in california is at the forefront of our minds. well, the university of westminster is researching a system that combines sensors on the ground and those in a drone. the aim — a solution for wildfires. these solar—powered prototype sensors are tracking carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, oxygen, humidity, temperature, gps, and altitude. the aim is to combine them into one miniaturised, cost—effective version, which could be deployed en masse in areas susceptible to wildfires, providing immediate feedback. if there is something,
6:51 am
they will alert all their neighbours also, form into a network, alert taken, take measurements, convey to the master node, which then conveys it further up to the server, which alerts the drones, which come up to give a visual. it comes with all the information it has got from the drones, from the ground sensors, and it knows what the wind speed is, what the direction is, what the temperature variations are, and where the fire will be. then it makes a release from the air and then you have the heavens opening, with these lovely pellets flying in and hitting the target when the fire is.
6:52 am
and you can fight fires day and night, 24 hours a day, with no visibility. meanwhile, this is the stinger. it can pierce through metal and pretty much any roof, dramatically blasting foam or water into the heart of the blaze. the quantity and force of that water is pretty incredible. this pumps 1,000 litres a minute, with an even more powerfuljet to the side, capable of 4.5 times that. it also has an on—board thermal imaging camera to assist with that precision. blackburn is currently the only uk fire service using this kit, though. i'm told it costs over £600,000. but maybe as costs come down, and all this technology evolves, this next generation of firefighting will become the norm. i'm at leicestershire fire and rescue, the first service in the country to invest in virtual reality.
6:53 am
their hope is that money will be saved by replacing some i'm at leicestershire fire and rescue, the first service in the country to invest in virtual reality. their hope is that money will be saved by replacing some of the expensive training techniques with vr alternatives. i've seen the demo and the fire looks quite intense, so i don't think it's going to be what i'm used to when it comes to virtual reality, which isjust having a nice time. let's see. all the scenes in the training are scanned from the real world. for instance, this arson hotspot investor is a good reference for investigators looking for clues. it's the inside of a destroyed smoke alarm. ijust need to say, like,
6:54 am
the environment is like i'm standing on ash. it feels very real. teleportation. oh, my gosh. 0k, there's a body down there. if you enjoy the training, you're going to get more out of it. it's already been proven. there's a study in the united states, where if you train in the virtual reality environment, the retention rate is 75%. most of the talks i do on road safety on powerpoint, we tend to make 5%. you can see why we are looking at this because our training is going to be enhanced so much. if you want to go 10 seconds forward, you can do it on the controller, just skip forward and fast—forward the fire. if you remember from the scene you saw a minute ago, that monitor was completely melted. you can see how it physically affects things that are not even burning yet. yes, then the idea is, when it stops, we show the people putting out the fire, and you get the ability to dive straight back in the scene, and you're in that same burn scene. yeah, seeing the impact of the fire is pretty remarkable. it moves quickly.
6:55 am
part of the reason this experience feels so intense is the realism. for leicestershire fire and rescue, this was important — that they move away from gamification and into real life. they have been working with a company called rivr to make this happen. the scenes are created using photogrammetry. both cameras and lasers photograph in real life, 360—degree scenarios up to thousands of times. we've seen how fire services are using virtual reality but what about other first responders? here at the defence science and technology laboratory, they are hard at work on how police might use virtual reality in ourtraining. number 7 ferguson house, caller reports sounds of violent disturbance. i can see some feet already. so i don't think people wouldn't expect to put the police and virtual reality together. why is it so important that police are interacting with technology in this way?
6:56 am
you can replicate one—off events. so an event which could be a dangerous or hazardous environment, you can recreate as a one—off, and people would never, ever get the opportunity to rehearse that. but in vr, we can, so we can give them that vehicle and the opportunity to do a one—off scenario and do it safely. there we go — oh, my gosh. ok, i'm going to see if she is alive. she's obviously taken some pills. there's a heartbeat here. i can definitely see already how it could be used to — in the way that a lot of games are, really, to open up your mind to possibilities around crime, why people may have
6:57 am
committed criminal activities. those kind of questions are definitely there already. yeah, that was more enjoyable than the fire one, i think, which perhaps shouldn't be my takeaway. but like, i could go back into that world, whereas the fire scene, ijust wanted to get out. and that is the short cut of click. the full—length version is waiting for you on iplayer right now, and that is the short cut of click. the full—length version comes highly recommended and is waiting for you on iplayer right now, and we'll put some amazing footage from this place up on social media as well, on facebook and on twitter. we live @bbcclick. for now, thanks for watching, and we will see you soon. good morning. welcome to breakfast, with tina daheley and charlie stayt. our headlines today: theresa may heads to brussels for last—minute talks with the eu, as spain and the dup threaten to derail her brexit deal. a us government report gives a sharp warning about climate change, just days after donald trump questioned the effects of global warning.
