10:30 pm
but most of the country will be dry, and the closest we can get to something white, festive frost across northern and eastern areas. here, the best of the sunshine. varying amounts of cloud across the country, breaking at times to allow sunny spells. always the chance of some patchy drizzle in the west. at its mildest, temperatures ten or 12 degrees. we are talking mid— to single figures in the east, especially where we see some lingering fog. that could be another issue into the night on boxing day, the south—east corner. an area of high pressure, where wind is lightest. a weather front skirting the north of the uk, across northern and western parts of scotland, bringing outbreaks of rain on boxing day. at least the winds light, nothing much to trouble us from that point of view, just some lingering fog patches here and there and temperatures on the up, relative to christmas day. nine or 11 degrees. hello. this is bbc news. we'll be taking a look at tomorrow mornings papers in a moment — first the headlines. a tsunami strikes indonesia — at least 220 people are dead and more than 800 injured.
10:31 pm
the death toll is expected to rise. sussex police are examining a damaged drone found near the perimeter fence of gatwick airport — as two people arrested on friday are released without charge. the uk is being inundated with fake designer goods on a scale never seen before — according to the trade body, the anti—counterfeiting group. homelessness in the uk is at a record high with 170,000 families and individuals experiencing destitution — according to the charity crisis. hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are tony evans, author and columnist for the evening standard and the economic advisor
10:32 pm
ruth lea. many of tomorrow's front pages are already in. let's take a look, starting with the independent — which has a striking picture of survivors searching through the destruction caused by the tsunami that hit indonesia, killing more than 200 people and leaving hundreds more injured. the telegraph leads with the queen's christmas message — saying she'll be urging britain to overcome "deeply held differences" and to treat others with respect — in herfinal message before the uk leaves the eu. also calling for unity — writing in the daily express — prime minister theresa may calls for the country to "come together" ahead of brexit. the drone disruption at gatwick airport leads the daily mail — with the paper claiming that the police are clueless as to who was behind it. and that story is on the front of the times — who quote the police officer leading the investigation admitting the possibility that there may not have been any drones at all.. while the i reports that ministers
10:33 pm
will meet tomorrow to discuss how to tighten security at airports following the disruption at gatwick. and the daily mirror sums it up as "shambolic". the government shutdown in the us makes the front of the financial times — with a warning from donald trump's new chief of staff that the shutdown could continue into the new year. so a mix of stories making the front pages of tomorrow's papers — and let's start with a front page of the telegraph. a big picture of the queen and the paper has some extracts from her christmas message. what do you make of it? the first thing i will say, certainly the uk must overcome deeply held differences. somebody could be born into incredible wealth, and the proportion of the countries using food banks. people say the queen has
10:34 pm
to be apolitical, and she has to ta ke to be apolitical, and she has to take a neutral stance. but it makes you wonder, what is the point of her? radley, she has given a can't we alljust get along sort of speech, which loosely has overtones, dealing with the breakdown over brexit. it has got increasingly divisive. you almost wish she could come out and say, this is wrong, this is stupid. if anybody would gather the nation together, it would be heard, not theresa may. it leaves me cold. anyway, isn't she saying what you want her to say, but in her own language? she has to be politically neutral. 0f own language? she has to be politically neutral. of course the newspapers are going to say deeply held differences, what must it be about? it must be about brexit. i think it is about brexit, but there we go. i think the truth is that i have terrific respect for the queen, but whatever she says, i think the differences will continue between
10:35 pm
the ardent brexodus such as myself and ardent remainers such as tony. i thought i would get that in. —— brexiteers. anything she says about anything gets madly overinterpreted. at the time of the scottish referendum in 2014, she came out of church and said i think it is time that people thought very hard about the future. we were meant to read into that that it was their idea of what should happen in the scottish referendum. i was not sure what she was meant to be saying. there we are. ithink was meant to be saying. there we are. i think it is likely overinterpreted. she does what she can do. does she need to be politically neutral? why shouldn't she say, if scotland are voting to break away, why wouldn't she say i would prefer it if the united kingdom, of which i am the queen, stayed together and didn't break up? i don't get the whole monarchy think i don't get the whole monarchy think i don't get the reverence for it and i don't get the reverence for it and i don't get the reverence for it and i don't get the... it is the cornerstone of the class system. for
10:36 pm
me, revolutionise our society, cornerstone of the class system. for me, revolutionise oursociety, don't leave europe, let's look at the class system and work from there. let's leave the eu come i think it isa let's leave the eu come i think it is a jolly good idea. we will come back to brexit in one more story a little later. can i move more story a little later. can i m ove o nto more story a little later. can i move onto another story on the front page of the telegraph, which has been occupying our minds and the tensions for many days, the drones over at gatwick airport. it was there one? that is the question. the report was just suggested that they had found the remains of a drone around gatwick. but it makes you wonder why they didn't find it earlier. i think there has been a massive mess, chaos. there were not prepared for this. the systems that we re prepared for this. the systems that were set up have not been able to cope with it. then for the police to arrest two people, on what seems to be the flimsiest of evidence, a tip—off on crimestoppers, it seems
10:37 pm
incompetence has run wild over this weekend at gatwick. a lot of people have suffered from it. shambolic, i think is one of the newspaper headlines. absolutely staggering. there may not have been a drone? i thought we were shown pictures, a speckin thought we were shown pictures, a speck in the sky, perhaps it was a bird? they speck in the sky, perhaps it was a bird ? they have speck in the sky, perhaps it was a bird? they have found a damaged drone, presumably there was a drone. was there or not? was it the drone? i wouldn't like to say. apparently there was a drone. i am just picking up there was a drone. i am just picking up again and what tony was saying. i found it absolutely extraordinary. this went on and it disrupted gatwick for the best part of two days and nothing seemed to be done. i don't know about the technology of this, but couldn't theyjam the communications between the drone and the operator? so at least you stop the operator? so at least you stop the thing from working. i was speechless. the sad thing about it, if there wasn't a drone, it gives
10:38 pm
every disruptive element, every environmental campaigner, every real live terrorist in idea. we can disrupt derek —— airports, maybe bring down a plane. potentially with a fabrication. we don't know if there wasn't a drone, but it does bring the possibility of?” there wasn't a drone, but it does bring the possibility of? i think the above cases of a terrorist attack are appalling. it is an absolute shambles. somebody is now saying that we should have an investigation into this. surely there should be a way of dealing with these things? it is not as if drones are new, is it? the technology has been around for a while. let's move onto the front page of the daily mail, finding itself agreeing with you, a great big headline, clueless. you both have plenty to say about the daily mail over the last couple of days? yesterday's headline, these are the morons that ruined christmas, the couple that were arrested. they know by putting a question mark on the
10:39 pm
end, it will not protect them legally, it gives the illusion of not really saying it. then they pick it up the next day, clueless, nothing to do with us. so it is the police? yes, among the bullet points, sussex police defended their decision to arrest paul and irene has lawful and refused to apologise, instead accusing the media of frustrating the process. anybody should be apologising, it is the daily mail. i can understand to a certain amount, you are briefed by the police, but it depends what decision, how hard you go on it. for example, today on twitter, my timeline, slurs made by kelvin mackenzie in 1989, about people at
10:40 pm
liverpool stealing from the dead, it is still coming up. the daily mail is still coming up. the daily mail is still coming up. the daily mail is still baking those kinds of gratuitous accusations. it is scandalous. is there any mitigation in the daily mail, that yesterday might have been expressing frustration at 150,000 people whose journeys were severely disrupted by the drone? i didn't see it today, i will be honest with you. it is one thing to say the authorities, how they handled that was a shambles. that is legitimate. it is have a go at these two people, saying it is terrible, it is the police's fault, i pick terrible, it is the police's fault, ipick up terrible, it is the police's fault, i pick up on tony's remarked, it is brazen. they were arrested? they we re brazen. they were arrested? they were arrested. i can understand why the police did it, it was a tip—off, gatwick put out a reward, £50,000 if the perpetrators are found. so it is
10:41 pm
obviously going to encourage all sorts of mischief making, quite honestly. the police have to follow these things up. i don't blame the police. insofar as the daily mail was inferring that and reading that much into that, i think it is inexcusable. the fact that it was a tip—off should have made the police and the daily mail much more circumspect. it's not thejob and the daily mail much more circumspect. it's not the job of journalism to express the frustrations of the public. the job of journalism is to frustrations of the public. the job ofjournalism is to tell the truth. sadly, not enough of that has gone on. they can stretch their frustrations, but they have to be careful who they target. let's move onto the front page of the financial times. president trump's new chief of staff warns of a shutdown dragging on next year. this is the impasse between congress and the president? he has not had a very good week. mattis resigned and have
10:42 pm
a set to with the fed, who put up interest rates and did nasty things like that. this is about the stand—off on the extra funding. the thing is, 75% of government expenditure in the state is funded, fully funded, to the end of september, the end of the financial year. but 25% of it isn't. the programmes of 25%, they have run out of money so you have an awful stand—off and parts of the government that are no longer functioning. so, they need a new funding package. but trump has said that part of the funding package must be £5.7 billion for his beloved wall, that he expected mexico to pay for, if you remember. then mexico said, we are not paying for it, you have to pay for it. the problem is, for have to pay for it. the problem is, foertrump, have to pay for it. the problem is, for mr trump, congress doesn't actually like this. i think this can go into the new year with a real stand—off between trump, if he insists on this money for the wall, and congress. the thing is, the new congress will come in in the
10:43 pm
beginning ofjanuary, congress will come in in the beginning of january, the congress will come in in the beginning ofjanuary, the house of representatives will be actually a democratic majority rule. the senate is still republican, the house will be democratic. how is he going to get the funding package through congress? i think he has got a long way to run. trump said last week i would be proud to shut down the government. what you can have is border control guards, working without pay over the christmas period. that makes no logic at all to me. this is clearly one of trump's biggest platforms on his campaign. he is desperate to get it through. it might be his waterloo. if the democrats, until the house gets together, it will be dead in the water. he is like mr macavity, he's never there. he the water. he is like mr macavity, he's neverthere. he might the water. he is like mr macavity, he's never there. he might wriggle through, but it is a mess. a quick look at the story just below that, i
10:44 pm
promised you a brexit story. the prime minister, cutting the cabinet's holiday short because brexit. what is this about?l cabinet's holiday short because brexit. what is this about? a nation rejoices! 0f brexit. what is this about? a nation rejoices! of a pr move, it is not going to work. the delusion among the government, a spokesman talking about getting the dup on board to vote for the deal, saying it is like dominoes. some of our lot are falling behind, they say. but no they won't. it is absolutely mad. the whole thing is mad. brexit is all ideological. i have never seen a compelling economic argument for it. a no—deal brexit, if that happens, and the politics seizes up, we are ina and the politics seizes up, we are in a country where a drone can shut down an airport fifa days and cause chaos, an inch of snow stops the railways. a no deal—breaker that, yeah, that's going to be great! ? railways. a no deal—breaker that,
10:45 pm
yeah, that's going to be great!?|j am in favourof yeah, that's going to be great!?|j am in favour of a no—deal brexit now, because i think the deal is absolutely inexcusable. you are in favour of no—deal brexit, despite all of the warnings? i think it is all of the warnings? i think it is all scaremongering. it is project fear 2. all scaremongering. it is project fear2. i hear all scaremongering. it is project fear 2. i hear what you say about the drones, but that is nothing to do with brexit. the country manages to scupper itself without brexit. the problems about trading i think have been grossly exaggerated by the remainers. the deal, i originally wanted a free—trade agreement to be agreed, but we're not going to be there, we with a deal that is not going to get to the commons. so, what have we got? we have a managed no—deal brexit. what have we got? we have a managed no-deal brexit. ruth and tony, we will resume this in about 45 minutes. next, click. it is the 2018 special. the gang is
10:46 pm
here. it's the 2018 clickmas special, the gang is all here. hello! the gang is all here. spence, i've got your first christmas present and what a corker it is. this is the world's first flexible phone. look at that! you can have it on this way or around here and itjust flips, it knows which way you are holding it and it's built on android. this is a brand—new operating system on top of it called water and it's built by a small chinese form called royale, you might not have heard of it.
10:47 pm
it is the first phone they're released. there you go. the idea is you have a tablet you can use or you can fold it into a phone. you can work as on a tablet or fold it back to a phone. when can we get this? it's a good question. if you're in china, in the shops from 2019 to start off. 0nline, obviously. just order from a chinese shop and you can get one delivered to your door, but as far as europe and america and other parts of the regulations in place for those markets. wow, give it a bend again. look at that, beat that. very nice, but i was a bit worried that it wouldn't fit in your pocket cos your pockets don't look that big so i've got you the world's smallest smartphone. oh, my goodness — it's so diddy. this is made by palm, better known back in the 19905, but have a play with it, it's cute.
10:48 pm
it will go into my pocket. my goodness, it's so cute. you think that's a small phone, spen, merry christmas. oh, my word. what, no. it's a tiny, tiny telephone. this is the zanco tiny t1, a 2g phone, the world's smallest phone, no internet, you can do some text messaging and calls. want some stats? yes, please. 50 text messages you can store on there, 300 contacts. my goodness, it's like the ‘90s but really, really tiny. hello? it's the police for you, dan. apparently you've gotten yourself into some hot water. ted!
10:49 pm
what's going on? dan, you are enjoying my hot tub? nice feature. i don't think that's standard, that one. i think it's been hacked. what do you mean? this hot tub is on the internet like thousands of others in the country. let me introduce you to the guys hacking it. there is andy in glasgow. hi, andy. hi! it looks cold up there. very windy. so andy, to prove you can take remote control, turn the pumps off. look, no hands. that's the blower. now the pumps. and they're off. and we didn't touch a thing. andy, thanks very much for the fountains, i think you owe me a glass of champagne. merry christmas! so ken, can we hack somebody else's hot tub? we can hack thousands of these tubs
10:50 pm
anywhere in the world. who are they? they live here. so let's go look at kerry's hot tub in south wales, he tipped us off about this. hello, kerry. how are you? boys, hack it. oh, yes. nice work, guys, nice work. so how does it work? well, there's not enough security on the mobile application that you control the hot tub with. because these are online. that's right. and there isn't even a username or password to the tub so it doesn't check that you are you. the fact that its online and there is no authentication means we don't know who is trying to control whose hot tub. but how do they work out which one to attack? so, the only address you need is that of the wireless card inside the tub type and believe it or not, you can find those addresses on online war—driving databases like wiggle,
10:51 pm
which is a free source of information. that's public? yep, anyone can call in there. they can work out your hot tub, where it is and if you are in it or not, because the pumps will be on. in a statement to click, balboa water group, whose app connects to hot tubs, said... wow, hacking hot tubs. no—one wants their hot tub hacked. least of all the company. they didn't see that one coming. no, they did not. we did that as a bit of fun for christmas. but there is a serious point to it which is that this year, we are going to get stuff that connects to the internet more than ever and if you don't
10:52 pm
take security seriously, then the companies that are providing these products, it seems to ask that they might not be taking security seriously either. so what do we do when we unravel our internet of things things? just once, read the manual change the password, don't leave it to the default setting because you will be more secure and it is important because once you get through to one of these products, you could get through to one or another or another. then it could be your computer that they get in. do it, or turn your bubbles off. this is a boeing 747 flight simulator. it has the latest computer—generated visuals and it's been painted to look like heavy metal band iron maiden‘s jumbo jet ed force one. why? because it's owned by iron maiden‘s lead singer bruce dickinson
10:53 pm
who is himself a trained commercial pilot. the question is, can i learn to fly one of these in under an hour? that might depend on the quality of teaching. and it looks like my like my instructor has turned up. yes, it is iron maiden‘s bruce dickinson, an absolute aviation nut who liked being a pilot so much, he bought the company. cardiff aviation maintains aircraft and trains pilots. walkie, walkie, walkie across the magic drawbridge into...another world. he has 6,500 hours of commercialflying experience. he is taking us up... away we go. ..and i'm bringing us down. what is it about flying
10:54 pm
that you really love? 0k, look out the window. look out the window. 0k. it appealed notjust to the closet engineer in me but it also appealed to the kind of romantic artist in me as well because you get some odd things when you're flying across the sunset, and the darkness is curling over the top of the plane like a tunnel, and it'sjust this incredible metaphysical moment. it's symbolic, that you are above light in the dark. it is getting closer to the mind of god. you know i have a feeling that i've just been sung to. time for me to learn where everything is and everything does. turn that knob left, until it comes to 270. look at the window, we are banking left somewhat. you are commanding the aeroplane to bank left. no way, i had no idea this is how
10:55 pm
you fly a jumbo jet, by twiddling these knobs. select flaps five. flaps five, captain. jolly good. ditto, you're getting the hang of this. iam. do what you say immediately. you have to be a certain disposition to be a captain because when they come over the intercom, they sound calm and professional, that's part of the training, isn't it? i have no idea? i secretly think they're (bleep) themselves. theyjust don't let on. flaps ten, please. flaps ten. thank you very much. finally, night falls, with the press of a button in the simulator, and it's time for me to try and land the beast. so you're flying it. so that's telling you to go left a little bit. left a little bit. just follow the magenta line. the clue is, don't fixate
10:56 pm
on looking out the window. you will cock it up. excellent, you are absolutely spot on on the left—right.. just down a bit, there you go, excellent. oh, my goodness. excellent. you are really close to the runway, you are really tight so these corrections are going to be timely and precise. simulator: 100. just a couple of things but that the line... 100, 40, 30, 10. there you go. getting the nose gently into the runway. 0h, ladies and gentlemen! welcome to heathrow. terminal 666. landing ajumbo in, how quick was that? anyway, that's it for this year's clickmas special. thank you so much for watching.
10:57 pm
thank you, guys, you for being brilliant to work with for another year. we have one more present for you. if you weren't in the audience of our recent click live show, next week you can see it on tv. from us to you. and from all of us, merry clickmas! merry clickmas! cheers! christmas week isn't going to be as damp as you experienced today. it will be mostly dry but there will be some frost and fog. dense fog tonight in northern ireland and parts of central scotland and later over eastern wales, the midlands and north—west england. cloudy to the south—west, where rain
10:58 pm
will continue towards the channel islands. ten or 11 degrees here. elsewhere, we will have a frosty start to the festive week. lots of sunshine around, lingering fog through northern ireland, east wales and the west midlands. for most, sunny spells and even the rain towards the south—west will fizzle out. mildest at 11 or 12 degrees. foremost, a much cooler day, with temperatures in single figures. fogg could be more of an issue eastern parts of england, where wind is lightest. some patchy drizzle possible in the west. for the vast majority, christmas day will be a dry one. a bit of festive frost to the east, where it stays cool. mildest in the west. goodbye for now. this is bbc news.
10:59 pm
the headlines at 11pm: the rescue effort in indonesia after a tsunami kills more than 200 people. hundreds of others were injured as a wave, thought to be triggered by a volcano, tore into the coast. translation: what was the government doing? at first they said they hadn't been a tsunami last night. they took ages to act. these waves we re they took ages to act. these waves were devastating. sussex police are examining a damaged drone found near the perimeter fence of gatwick airport, as two people arrested on friday are released without charge. they are fake, though, yeah? everything's fake, man. the uk's thriving trade in counterfeit goods. a land rich in resources,
