10:30 pm
‘ a ‘a few ‘ a few days ‘a few days of windy ‘ a few days of windy weather. after a few days of windy weather. tomorrow will probably be starting a little bit like this, sunny skies from the morning onwards, a touch of frost around across most of the uk, particularly northern areas. this is what is happening right now. we still have a weather front moving gci’oss still have a weather front moving across the uk, it is emplaced across central parts of england. that means thicker cloud and some showers moving through. that is quite chilly at the moment because the winds are blowing out of the north or the north—west, but the mild air you conceive, that will be reaching us over the next 2a to 36 hours. the forecast for the night then, a weather front moving across scotland bringing some winter in this across the hills. the showers by the early hours of monday should fade away. the skies were clear across the country and a frost expected, maybe in city centres just above freezing, but outside of town certainly below freezing. monday, a beautiful start of the day, a lot of sunshine in the
10:31 pm
afternoon, be it a little hazy gci’oss afternoon, be it a little hazy across some of these western areas, high pressure is building, the weather front trying to push him, they stop somewhere around western britain and they go no further. belfast perhaps hazy skies a little bit later in the day. that high pressure continues to build from tuesday to wednesday, and it starts to extend into parts of central europe as well. the weather fronts here are being diverted to the north, just about affecting the very far north west of scotland, maybe northern ireland. one or two spits and spots of rain and a fresh breeze but for the majority of the uk on tuesday, we are anticipating a lot of bright weather, dry weather at the very least, with temperatures rising, i2 the very least, with temperatures rising, 12 in london, double figures as far north as aberdeen, io celsius. then on wednesday, i promised you that milder air from the south—west, here it is, starting to arrive, engulfing much of the british isles, moving into southern parts of scandinavia as well, and then we see a southerly developing.
10:32 pm
those temperatures will rise, high is up to 13 or 14 degrees at some point during the week. not a drop of rain in sight for many parts of the uk. hello. this is bbc news. we'll be taking a look at tomorrow mornings papers in a moment — first, the headlines: the favourite wins several awards at the baftas this evening, including the best actress gong for olivia colman, best british film, and best supporting actress for rachel weisz. company bosses could face up to seven years in jail for mismanaging staff pension schemes under government plans. theresa may will ask mps for more time to rework her brexit plan — and offer parliament another vote, but labour accuses the prime minister of running down the clock. visitors were surprised to find a chimpanzee wandering outside its enclosure after it managed to make a ladder out of branches to escape its pen. and in rugby, england romp to victory against france in the six nations match at twickenham.
10:33 pm
hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are the author and journalist yasmin alibhai—brown, and the broadcaster lynn faulds wood. welcome to you both. many of tomorrow's front pages are already in. the guardian features a picture of a beaming olivia colman after she won best actress at the baftas but the paper leads on fears that a rapid decline in the world's insects could spell disaster for the planet. the i splashes on what it calls britain's hidden housing scandal, detailing squalid and dangerous conditions in properties occupied by low—income workers. the metro says theresa may has rejected any prospect of a compromise with labour leader
10:34 pm
jeremy corbyn on her brexit plans. the daily mail leads on reports of a growing cabinet revolt over the hs2 rail link with ministers said to be alarmed over the project's spiralling costs. the daily express warns that one in three people live in an area with dangerously high levels of air pollution, according to new research. the daily telegraph says sir philip green is facing a police investigation after being reported over allegations of sexual assault, racial abuse and assault. quite a variety of front pages, or going with different stories, but shall we start with brexit, get it out of the way? mate rejects corbyn‘s customs union of her, this is four days ago whenjeremy corbyn
10:35 pm
wrote to the prime minister out lining demands he said had to be met in orderfor lining demands he said had to be met in order for labour to support her plan. a customs union but the prime minister delayed her response to it, probably to think about it, and only sent it out at 10:30pm tonight, it's embargoed so that meant london newspapers probably did not get hold of it much before then so it's difficult for us to give it a root and branch but it appears that one of the main positionsjeremy corbyn put to her was that there should be some kind of customs union, a soft one of some description and she said no to that, apparently, but she has offered more sweeteners to get labouring labour mps. she's saying
10:36 pm
that mps will get more chances to on elements, this is a woman who does not understand national unity, it seems, she's completely the wrong woman at the point of history we are at because she has clearly decided that that for reasons, to placate parts of her own party... but isn't that what corbyn is doing?|j parts of her own party... but isn't that what corbyn is doing? i cannot bear what corbyn is doing but the powerful person who was in charge of this should now realise she has to work with others. but both parties are in real disarray and may be danger of breaking up and how she will ever getjeremy corbyn into the tent, i wish they had some kind of coalition to discuss this ages ago. we need now are government of
10:37 pm
national unity, it's that serious. it is that serious, we are in the worst place we have ever been in peacetime britain. that is a wish list because what we will get on thursday is various amendments and mps saying what they think we should happen... it's meaningless. the whole thing is a shambles.“ happen... it's meaningless. the whole thing is a shambles. if actual smoke could come out of your ears, i think it would. whatever your position, i care about your country, i don't want it to go down into this terrible uncharted territory where we are headed and nobody in charge... nobody can say what will happen and one of the main problems is that the eu is not going to tell you either because it will go to the
10:38 pm
wire and it will stare them in the face... corbyn is saying she wants to push this to the last minute and thatis to push this to the last minute and that is not the way. let's pause brexit for now. i'll be even angrier when we come back. the daily mail, ministers blast tory mp for blocking law on child fgm. this is sir christopher chow who shouted object when the subject was being debated on friday in the commons, and now some ministers are calling for him to be deselected. i don't know why he does it. he always shout it. he says it's because he thinks the bills need to be subjected to more detailed scrutiny. is there anyone in this country of sound mind and
10:39 pm
judgment who does not think child fgm is a dreadful thing to be happening? is there anyone, and the tories in particular should be up in arms about the fact this is happening. he's objecting to the procedure. he always object to procedure, he is an mp for an area where they will never deselect because it's a conservative area, christchurch, but at the same time his only point is that female genital mutilation, if the government cared about that it could have brought their bill but everything is steeped in brexit and nothing much is happening but he really must stop bringing parliament into disrepute. the last one he shouted object that was the app skirting bill and people then went to prison and will continue going to
10:40 pm
prison, it is a horrible thing to do and a criminal offence. prison, it is a horrible thing to do and a criminal offencelj prison, it is a horrible thing to do and a criminal offence. i know how awful this thing is because i have seen the victims and for this man to play games with such a serious issue, who ennobled him, who made him a night? the prime minister. a woman of great judgment. him a night? the prime minister. a woman of greatjudgment. let's move on to the front page, that 16 million hs2 set to hit the buffers. i assume this is because there are mounting costs —— £60 million. i assume this is because there are mounting costs —— £60 millionm started off being 33 million and now it is announced as 60 billion and rising. we had crossrail which cost
10:41 pm
15 million and has been part for at least a year, i don't know what will happen but they always talk about hsz happen but they always talk about hs2 about speed but it's about capacity, i used to go to europe and you get a fast train straight in to munich, they have much better infrastructures than we have and this is about improving the infrastructure in britain which is lamentable, especially across the country, i wouldn't like to try and get a country, i wouldn't like to try and geta train country, i wouldn't like to try and get a train to hull tonight.|j country, i wouldn't like to try and get a train to hull tonight. i never understood, what i thought they were saying is you get to birmingham faster and you would get to manchester faster but the manchester bit will no longer happen. come back to this at 11:30pm. we are skipping
10:42 pm
over a couple because we want to go to the front of the guardian, a lovely picture of olivia colman, best actress and star of the favourite, you have seen the picture. it's tremendous. my husband was a bit less thrilled with it, i think it might be a woman's film but the royal family died think it might be a woman's film but the royalfamily died out in queen anne and you hear her talking about the 17 babies she lost, and that is why we ended up with the present monarchy because her hair was going to bea monarchy because her hair was going to be a catholic scottish prince. it's a really good watch, beautifully done so i would recommend it and she is brilliant. isn't she exceptional, she has won so isn't she exceptional, she has won so many awards and she is not
10:43 pm
succumbing to the pressures of being a celebrity, she is her cell. i think that is such a wonderful role model for girls who were developing these phobias about how they look and here is this amazing actress who is going to be part of this formula. and wasn't it great to read today in the papers that the baftas or to representation of what people watch whereas the oscars are much more hollywood and glamour american, so it's brilliant. it will be interesting to see if she wins at the oscars because my hunch is that the oscars because my hunch is that the americans will go for glenn close. and she is also very good in the why. and all credit to her for turning up to the baftas when she wasn't necessarily going to get it. we will leave it there for now.
10:44 pm
yasmin alibhai—brown and lynn faulds wood will be back at 11.30 for another look at the papers. 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.
10:45 pm
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
10:46 pm
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
10:47 pm
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 exostosis. 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.
10:48 pm
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 it's like when i put the headset on and what it feels and plays like.
10:49 pm
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.
10:50 pm
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 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
10:51 pm
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
10:52 pm
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.
10:53 pm
so, again, all in all, that's about 1k months‘ worth of work for that one moment on film. i don't think you've seen a woman pull 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,
10:54 pm
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 the direction that is orthogonal to it. 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
10:55 pm
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 short cut 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 starting to calm down
10:56 pm
across the uk now after a few days of windy weather. today was a bit of a mixed bag but tomorrow you will probably be starting a bit like this. sunny skies right from the morning onwards. but a touch of frost around across most of the uk, particularly in northern areas. this is what's happening right now. we still have a weather front moving across the uk. it's in place across wales, central parts of england, that means thicker cloud and some showers still moving through. it is quite chilly at the moment because the winds are blowing out of the north and north—west but the mild air you can see down towards the south—west, that'll be reaching us over the next 24—36 hours. so, the forecast for tonight, then, a weather front moving across scotland, bringing a little bit of wintriness across the hills.
10:57 pm
the showers by the early hours of monday should fade away from the south, too, and the skies will clear across the country, and a frost is expected. maybe in city centres, just above freezing but, outside of town, certainly below freezing. on monday a beautiful start of the day. lots of sunshine in the afternoon. a little hazy across some of these western areas. high pressure is building here. the weather front is trying to push in. they're stopping somewhere around western britain, and they go no further. so belfast, perhaps hazier skies a little bit later on in the day. that high pressure continues to build through tuesday and into wednesday. starting to extend into parts of central europe as well. the weather fronts here are being diverted to the north, but just about affecting the very far north—west of scotland, maybe northern ireland, so perhaps some spits and spots of rain and a fresher feel for the majority of the uk. on tuesday we anticipate a lot of bright weather, dry weather at least, with temperatures rising.
10:58 pm
12 in london, double figures as far north as aberdeen. 10 celsius, maybe lerwick at around 8 degrees. and then on wednesday i promised you that milder air from the south—west. here it is. it is starting to arrive, engulfing much of the british isles. moving into southern parts of scandinavia as well. then we start to see a southerly developing and those temperatures will rise. we could see highs of 13, 1a degrees at some point during the week. not a drop of rain in sight for many parts of the uk. that's it from me. bye— bye. the prime minister responds to labour leader jeremy corbyn‘s demands on a brexit deal. it comes as the government tries to buy more time to secure changes, promising mps they will get a fresh round of votes by the end of the month. if the meaningful vote hasn't happened since —— until the 47th of
10:59 pm
february and we will allow a further motion in parliament to take place -- 27th of motion in parliament to take place —— 27th of february. but ministers admit these votes might not amount to approving — or rejecting — a deal with the eu. also tonight: a star studded night for british film — with best actress winner olivia colman paying tribute to her co—stars in the favourite:
