which splashes on what the paper calls a devastating new book onjeremy corbyn's leadership credentials. a head teachers‘ union has applauded a planned strike by school pupils who will walk out of lessons on friday over climate change. that's according to the sunday express, which also carries tonight's news that the duke of edinburgh is to surrender his driving licence. the sunday times says a generation of children are at risk of grooming and sexual exploitation due to the failure of tech giants to enforce adult age limits on dating apps. we will come to that last story just shortly, nigel and jo, but we will come to that last story just shortly, nigeland jo, but we we will come to that last story just shortly, nigel and jo, but we start with the observer, mps telling the prime minister that she should sack the transport secretary, what is the paper saying to my well, this is the ha pless paper saying to my well, this is the hapless chris grayling, who, as you rightly say, is transport secretary... hapless chris grayling!

exactly, and this is the government who were about to award a contract worth nearly £40 million to a company called seaborne freight to run ferry services out of ramsgate, where there is a port that has not been used for several years now, but would be the link between ramsgate and ostend in belgium. now, the ferry company had no ships, and a p pa re ntly ferry company had no ships, and apparently they took the website from a kebab takeaway website thing, so from a kebab takeaway website thing, so the whole thing is absolutely ridiculous, it is beyond parody. now it appears that they have told the company that they are not going ahead with it, but i think it is the fa ct ahead with it, but i think it is the fact that the parent company, an irish —based company, who were the backers of seaborne freight, making seaborne freight, whoever they may be temporary, and chris grayling is

rudderless. what you make of some of the conspiracy theories that suggest there is something serious in this company having irish backing which suddenly wasn't there came a don't know. conspiracy theories are going around, there are so many different kind of plots and conspiracies going on, you have to spend a couple of daysin on, you have to spend a couple of days in the house of commons, you are inundated with them. i don't know the truth of it. i don't think chris grayling will go. what has been amusing today is political reporters getting onto the prime minister's office, saying, has she got full confidence in him? yes, she has, the next question is why?! so what will happen to him, he is ak brexiteer, therefore she can't do anything about him, and probably can't do anything about all of the cabinet anyway, so many of them have threatened to resign and then

rescinded it. transport is one of the key things... i agree, he should go, we don't want chris grayling in charge of it. i'm just saying we can't get rid of him. it is interesting that we are talking about chris grayling here, and not about chris grayling here, and not about the ferry capacity in the case ofa about the ferry capacity in the case of a nao deal brexit, isn't it? with i'io of a nao deal brexit, isn't it? with no ferries, we are a bit stuffed! —— a no—deal brexit. no ferries, we are a bit stuffed! —— a no-deal brexit. i live in kent, andi a no-deal brexit. i live in kent, and i have seen first—hand that there will be problems on the motorways, that is why chris grayling tried to organise a traffic jam and failed miserably to do that, paying drivers £550 a day to turn up. let's move on to the front page of the sunday times, another brexit story, nigel, what is theirs ambush?

this is that labour have told the sunday times, sir keir starmer, the shadow brexit secretary, has told the sunday times that they want another meaningful vote by february 26. everything would be terribly difficult if we end up in march, there is a european summit when all this has to be done, only eight days before we are due to leave, so the end of february is really the last day to get a proper vote and see what is happening. keir starmer demands this, curiously, there is a question of the order of this, the government this afternoon announced there will be a vote at some point before the 27th of march, which is the wednesday. the 27th of february. ido the wednesday. the 27th of february. i do apologise, february. so the question is, what came first, chicken or egg? we are not sure whether it was the labour demand, numberten whether it was the labour demand, number ten immediately ceding to it, or it was their plan all along. and

keir starmerjumping or it was their plan all along. and keirstarmerjumping in, or it was their plan all along. and keir starmer jumping in, what or it was their plan all along. and keir starmerjumping in, what do you think? i think we are in such a muddle... always a conspiracy theory! the labour party, to a large extent, have been slightly immune to criticism, and so they attacked the government, but they are just as divided as the tory party, and it is absolutely clear, despitejeremy corbyn‘s off of conciliation, let's talk last week, it didn't come up with anything more. it is very difficult to see how the prime minister can get anything else out of europe, other than a delay, and there is a point where you say even a delay is delaying the inevitable. soi a delay is delaying the inevitable. so i that we are moving towards a second referendum, which i think most people would hold their hands up most people would hold their hands up in horror at the thought of it, if it was so badly run as the first one, or we arejust if it was so badly run as the first one, or we are just delaying this, it is going to cost a lot more money, the longer it takes, and we will see yet more fiascoes on things

like the ramsgate ferry crossings and everything else.|j like the ramsgate ferry crossings and everything else. i agree with you, by the way, i think article 50 will delay the might be delayed. at the moment they are arguing about that. yvette cooper wanted nine months, it might be reduced to three. i have heard ministers talking about five years. have you really? remain supporting ministers? original! i won't name them, but remain supporting. the argument is to get something as complex as these completed really does take years. we have ta ken two completed really does take years. we have taken two and a half years to go almost nowhere, if you think about it, and the answer is to put everything on hold and really get everything on hold and really get everything in place before going. they may also have another agenda, which is to stay in europe, because the whole landscape could look very different in five years' time. people might have a different view, a second referendum now would be a

mistake. a second referendum now would be hugely dangerous, but you don't know that in five years' time. but on the other hand, you are saying to the people who voted to leave, we don't think you knew what you are doing... no, i agree, the same problem. i am you are doing... no, i agree, the same problem. lam sure you are doing... no, i agree, the same problem. i am sure we will be arguing brexit in five years anyway! let's look at the other main story on the front page of the sunday times, the child victims of dating apps. times, the child victims of dating apps, jo. this is a sunday times investigation on the back of the recent concern about the high tech giants and the internet companies and how they are failing to protect young children, and this is about... the paper says it is about the failure of tech giants to enforce aduu failure of tech giants to enforce adult age limits on dating apps,

putting a generation of children at risk of grooming and sexual exploitation. they cite a number of shocking incidents, including an eight—year—old child who managed to get onto a dating app. what i would love to know about this, and it doesn't really say it here, is how doesn't really say it here, is how does an online company, other than say, are you over 16 or 18 or whatever it is, how can it do it without some sort of, i don't know, technology? nigel?|j without some sort of, i don't know, technology? nigel? i don't know either, but what i find disturbing about this is the one thing that it mentions is a reporter signing up as a 17—year—old, i think this was tender, not having to prove any kind of age at all. —— tinder. tender, not having to prove any kind of age at all. -- tinder. there are basic checks... not being done. whether you have to scan a copy of your birth certificate or a driving licence or something, it seems to me

that anything like that is open to fraud anyway, and it comes back again to the other story earlier this week, which was the public health advice, really, and concern that parents need to be talking to children, and actually we need to be talking about this a lot more so that children feel... parents need to be educated, one of the problems is understanding how all this works. the front page of the sunday express has a picture of prince philip, buckingham palace this evening announcing that he had made the decision to give up his driving licence. a picture of him behind the wheel, but not for much longer! a hugely sensible thing to do, that first of all prince philip can get around the place with chauffeurs and so around the place with chauffeurs and so on, he doesn't actually need a car. one kind of imagines, being the character that he is, that he really wanted his independence, but after

la st wanted his independence, but after last month, ploughing into somebody else endangering two people, you really can't keep them on the road, andl really can't keep them on the road, and i think that on that basis, all terribly sensible, because you can imagine that could have been a real tragedy, there was a baby in that carand so on. tragedy, there was a baby in that car and so on. there will be families around the breakfast table having the same conversation about elderly parents and grandparents, because it is very, very difficult to persuade people to say that they shouldn't be driving, particularly, you know, when it is their independence, as you say. i mean, he does that fantastic carriage racing, doesn't he? a bra maybe he can do that, take a carriage out! it might be just as dangerous! the front page of the independent, which has a great picture of elizabeth warren, senator elizabeth warren, who kicked off her campaign for the 2020 nomination for the democratic candidacy. nigel, do you have a

sense of elizabeth warren and what she stands for? i don't know that much about her, i know that she is oi'i much about her, i know that she is on the left of the democratic party. also, what has been interesting about her is how worried trump seems to be about her. this is one of her pluses, she seems —— he seems to have come out and attack to quite vociferously, in the way that he has not with other candidates. that seems to be a+, if donald trump is worried about her, maybe people will coalesce behind her. he calls her the fake poker hunt as... and i have got form. on the basis that she was trying to prove cherokee ancestry, trying to prove cherokee ancestry, trying to prove cherokee ancestry, trying to further her legal career oi'i trying to further her legal career on the basis of that, cherokees did not like it, because a dna test is not like it, because a dna test is not enough to go and do that. but anyway, the important thing is that she is a major figure and trump is

worried about her, so she has got pluses in my book. i think it is quite interesting for us on the other side of the pond, we get so used to the way that we cover news and politics in this country, which is much more balanced, obviously, not least because of the bbc, but we know and you would know if you are sitting in france or new york, that we have an opposition, her majesty's opposition, and you would probably know who the leader is. i have a lwa ys know who the leader is. i have always found it rather odd that whilst we all look on in horror at donald trump, there isn't a voice coming out of the democrats. no, thatis coming out of the democrats. no, that is right. i have had that conversation with american friends and journalists, they cite is complicated, it is all down to the states and stuff, and then they blame the media. there is nancy pelosi. she is the only one, and she

isa name pelosi. she is the only one, and she is a name that has been around for an awfully long time, since she was elected speaker, you are absolutely right, she is the name that people can put a face to want to think, well, there is an opposition. so i think, in terms of global stuff, if there is a face of opposition to trump, it becomes a more interesting arguments, rather than, isn't trump, it becomes a more interesting arguments, ratherthan, isn't trump awful? a vice interesting point. the mail, never a great fan ofjeremy corbyn, but quite a list of adjectives to describe the labour leader. this comes out of a book review, nigel. the mail on sunday have gone to town on this, they are doing coffee from pages one to 20 today, tom bower's new book about jeremy corbyn. we have only been able to glance at a couple of these 20 pages so far, and what is coming out is not an awful lot that we have

seen so out is not an awful lot that we have seen so far that is actually new, but we have found a couple of things that are great fun, the one that i like his, according to bower, when jeremy corbyn went to meet fidel castro, the cuban leader, he actually was invited to eat meat. now, jeremy corbyn is a staunch vegetarian, i have eaten with him myself, he has always had vegetarian food, so it is great, the idea that he might have munched on meat to please a fellow socialist leader! a p pa re ntly please a fellow socialist leader! apparently he was on the brink of retiring to wiltshire to keep bees when he was persuaded to become leader, may be the bees had a lucky escape! this is the one paper and one headline that says unfit for office, that chris grayling can say, it is not about me! you have brought it is not about me! you have brought it full circle, jo, that is just right! thank you both are very much, another discussion at 11:30, thank

you both for the moment. next on bbc news, it's click. we've been banging on about virtual reality for an age, and while it's failed to ignite the imagination of consumers — i mean, how many vr headsets do you own, for goodness sake? it has started to catch on in areas like simulation, training and healthca re. marc cieslak has been to sheffield to investigate. make sure it's tight. that's it, yep.

keep your grip in your right hand. yes, got it! so what i see, there's different types of games, and the game that i was playing was a bow and arrow one. and you have a bow in front of you, and you need to pick it up and get that arrow behind you and thenjust let it go, and it shoots and pops it. here at sheffield's children's hospital, they're trialling some surprising therapeutic technology. with certain kinds of injuries, exercise can be a vital part of the rehabilitation process, ultimately leading to the patient getting better sooner. the problem is getting children to perform these exercises isn't always easy. right back. ooh. most of our kids have quite a long—term condition that they need to carry on doing their exercises for sometimes several years. keep the tight grip on the right. yep. they're doing the same

things day in, day out, it gets really boring, no—one wants to do it, sometimes it's painful, it's just not really fun, they want to be outside doing things with their friends. which arm is the injury, the left or the right? making use of virtual reality, researchers from sheffield hallam university have developed a system that they think will make children more likely to perform rehabilitation exercises by disguising their treatment as play. this version of the project is for upper arm injuries, primarily. the injuries that are normally from burns or an accident that they had from a fall. remember to swap hands, that's it. remember to look up as well and see where you're at. so how did you hurt yourself? i burned myself with a cooker lighter. i scarred my arm and my belly. we arrived at the decision to make the two games the scenarios of climbing and archery based off talking to occupational therapists and the kind of movements

they needed the patients to do. one of the motions that they need to do is a lot of reaching behind your back and kind of a lot of upper arm movements. and so i thought, i wonder if archery would work. because there's a quiver behind your back. you do the same motion of reaching behind to grab the arrow and then you get the added bonus of pulling back the bowstring and then we looked at things like climbing, and we just thought that was a natural fit as well, because there was a lot of overhead motion, so you're really reaching out. the climbing. it feels... it feels realistic. while harry is being treated for burns, emily here has an entirely different issue. emily's got hereditary multiple exostoses. so it's like a hereditary disease that she's picked up from my husband and my husband's side of the family. so it means that she has extra bone growth. let's go for a higher one. well, it's really fun, because you're not seeing, like, stuff that you usually see

every day, like you're seeing a whole new kind of world in it. if you have a big imagination, then it definitely makes it bigger. it's kind of a bit more playing than exercising, even though you are still doing your exercises, like it's fun as well. do you need a break or anything like that? is your arm tired or...? no, it's fine. she didn't find it easy. whereas before she would have given things up very easily. but she wanted to keep going, she wanted to pop another balloon. yes, got it! and she wanted to reach that next thing. but she's just been an absolute trouper. she just has a smile on her face every day. so it kind of encourages me to be positive. there we go. no, i don't have an injury, but i'm going to give this vr setup a go and see what's it like when i put the headset on and what it feels and plays like. here we go. you can understand how, when the children are playing this,

they get so wrapped up in the experience that they forget that this is actually helping them recover. it's early days for this technology, but they hope it could have a wide variety of healthcare applications. looking at other aspects such as pain reduction for burns, and we're doing some work with amputees, learning how to use a prosthetic arm. so it's a lot of experience—based training. and we have a couple of other projects that we're currently just looking at around kind of stroke and chronic pain as well. but the final word goes to emily. she might be a fan of the vr, but i do wonder if she'll be pleased to get the external fixator on her arm removed. will you be pleased to get that off? yes. it's quite annoying. brilliant. that was marc cieslak in sheffield.

now, this weekend is one of the biggest dates in the british movie calendar. the bafta film awards are taking place at london's royal albert hall. and what better way to celebrate than by chatting to one of those nominated in the best visual effects category for their work on fantastic beasts: the crimes of grindelwald? i can't move against grindelwald. it has to be you. technically, you can dojust about anything these days. so i think more of ourjob, and what we're set with the challenge by bothjo rowling's scripts and by david yates is to creatively push the envelope and use the technology to aid that. we had some very specific things thatjo had written in the script, but we also had, like, newt's hospital, where it was maybe a few were more background creatures that we could go on some of the same journeys that we did with the case. but one of the key creatures was the zouwu, you know, it's fairly specifically written

as like a chinese tiger—like creature. one of the animation artists built it and animated it and got it moving. and then, really, it was a voyage of discovery of working out how it would move, how it would look, what its tail would be made of, et cetera, et cetera. in the script, it described it as it runs 1000 miles a day. tim and i were always like, "my god, wow, how are we going to describe that, how are we going to show that?" so we came up with the idea that maybe it could magically leap and bend time, distort space—time and land in a different space. so it could cover a large distance very quickly. you know, it's over a year's work just for that one moment in terms of concept and working out how on earth to do it. nagini. the moment has come to take our rightful place. nagini appearing when we read the script — we went, "oh my god, nagini's a woman in this film, not a snake."

we had to come up with an authentic way to turn a woman into a long tube. you know, how would we do that to make it feel real? we came up with the idea that, really, maybe she's almost consumed by the snake, rather than physically extending out. you'd have her being wrapped in her own coils, disappearing and then coming out as a snake. so we had a contortionist, claudia kim, who played nagini, we showed her what we were planning and she acted the first portion of the shot, but then we had another contortionist in who was dressed in a matching costume and she did the first portion of the shot, so it's for real — she bent over backwards and put her head through her own legs. got shot elements of claudia kim kind of pushing herself along the ground and turning her head up, matching kind of what we had done, which then was glued together with a full cg version of the human character and a full cg snake. so, again, all in all,

that's about 14 months‘ worth of work for that one moment on film. i don't think you've seen a woman pool into a wall and turn into a snake before. so it's reallyjust trying to how to get those moments over, but as i say, feeling as grounded and real as possible. we just wanted it to feel like what would happen if you were actually physically there watching that happen, rather than it feeling like an effect. that's what i think the technology gives us the ability to do now. the wizarding and non—wizarding worlds have been at peace for over a century. grindelwald wants to see that peace destroyed. fa ntastic stuff. and, of course, we wish all of the bafta nominees the very best of luck for the big night. next week we'll have more awards contenders for you, as we continue our deep dive into the world of visual effects. and before we go, for this week — this. it may not be as graceful as a figure skater or as fast as a speed skater, but unlike many people, this robot taught itself

how to skate on ice. at the computational robotics lab at eth zurich, professor stelian coros and his team developed a modular robot with 3d—printed parts. each leg can be built for any type of locomotion — from walking to rolling to ice skating — and each robot can have any number of legs. they then wrote algorithms that described the physics for each type of movement and terrain. the only thing we tell it is how one ice skate behaves on ice. in particular, the fact that it's free to move in the direction of the blade and it has high friction forces in that direction. after this, the robot figures out entirely on its own how to move on ice. using this machine learning approach, different robots can learn to autonomously navigate any terrain. researchers hope this will lead to affordable, easy—to—design robots that can be used for search and rescue operations, to inspect dangerous

sites, and even for deliveries to difficult to reach areas. i envisioned a moment in the not too distant future where it will be as easy to create robots as it is to currently make structures out of lego blocks, for example. i think this is a really exciting motor skill that we would like robots to learn, not necessarily because it's useful, but rather because it combines so many different challenges into one beautiful performance. and that's it for the shortcut of click for this week. the full—length version is waiting for you right now on iplayer. don't forget, we live all over social media. wherever you go, you'll find us there waiting for you — instagram, youtube, facebook, twitter, you name it, we're there. thanks for watching and we'll see you soon. the weather's calming

down after storm erik, still pretty blustery across the north—east of the uk, but the winds here will continue to ease as we go through the evening and the overnight period. sunday is going to be a mixed bag. we've got both rain and sunshine on the way. now, right now this is where storm erik is right now, across the north sea, but this area of cloud is drifting in, bringing fresher rain towards south—western areas and southern areas of the uk, so this is another area of weather that will be sweeping through, no real windy weather here, just rain on and off through the night. it looks like eastern scotland and the north—east of england, clear spells for you here tonight, so a touch of frost, but in the south it will be a lot milder, 5—7 degrees, that sort of thing.

and then tomorrow, the low pressure that will bring us a damp start to the day will eventually pull away from the south, and the weather will improve before showers once again return from another weather front coming in from the north, so there's that mixed bag tomorrow, one weather system pulls away here, there is erik over there, this is the sort of tail end of storm erik, with just a few showers moving into northern ireland. notice how, the middle of the afternoon, the weather improves across england, but by the time we get to sunset, i think the showers here will once again be sweeping across the sort of central swathe of the uk, the north—west of england, through yorkshire into the midlands and down into the south—east as well. so here is that weather front moving through during the course of sunday evening into monday, and then finally, finally something that we're looking forward to — i think high pressure starts to build, pushing away the weather fronts away towards the northern climes, into the north atlantic, and from the south the weather starts to improve, so monday is looking very promising across the uk, temperatures will be around double figures just about in the south,

still single figures in the north, but sunshine pretty much throughout the length and the breadth of the country. and with the jet stream swirling way to the north of us, between scotland and iceland, we get into this milder stream of air, the high pressure builds across the uk, so that means that the weather will be settling. you can see the yellow colours indicating that slightly milder weather heading our way. so the summary for the week ahead, a lot of dry weather around with some mild days, the nights might be chilly, some mist and fog around at times too. this is bbc news. i'm reeta chakrabarti. the headlines: the duke of edinburgh is to voluntarily give up his driving licence, buckingham palace has said this evening. no ships and now, no contract — the government cancels a controversial agreement for extra ferries, in case of a no—deal brexit. the democratic senator, elizabeth warren, launches her bid to become the party's candidate for 2020, promising to champion ordinary, working people. millions and millions and millions

of american families are also struggling to survive in a system that has been rigged, rigged by the wealthy and the well—connected. counting the cost of knife crime — the number of young victims admitted to hospitals in england has risen by more than 50% in5years. and in the six nations, ireland beat scotland
