6:10 am
remainder. at the very least, they wa nt to remainder. at the very least, they want to announce a time when she is going to step down. there will be a hejoins us now from fraena, cabinet meeting on monday morning where some of the evacuees and it will be a sticky time for the being taken by helicopter. prime minister. how will this unfold? prime minister. how will this unfold 7 how will how many people have been rescued? i prime minister. how will this unfold? how will it work? a lot of phone calls going on at the moment. think around 350 people have been if you are a politicaljournalist, rescued now and about a thousand you speak to cabinet ministers, people are still left on the ship. what are the current conditions with several times a week. it is read to understand things are going on and the ship out at sea? are things to put phone calls and have 11 of coming down? it is still a bit windy them ring you back to tell you the but hope it will come down in the morning. is rescue still ongoing or prime minister should resign. they area prime minister should resign. they are a lot of calls going on at the is it on hold? the rescue is still going with helicopters. what kind of moment. it began on friday night and went on into saturday and doubtless conditions were the people rescued it will go on today. the prime minister will be phoning around and some of the people who wanted to in? it is a lot of elderly people stay will be making her case but it
6:11 am
is the case, as i understand it, and some of them were scared and even her chief whip believes her some of them were happy to be only chance of passing her brexit rescued. that is understandable, deal through the house of commons is to announce she will go at some looking at the pictures we are point. it strikes me that there is seeing now. it was clear some people we re seeing now. it was clear some people were getting hit by debris. have you had to deal with any particular no consensus around the solution to injuries? there have been some brexit. is there any consensus on a new leader? there is no total injuries? there have been some injuries from furniture that has been moving in the shape but it has been moving in the shape but it has consensus but they know if they do been 0k. it looks frightening just not find that this will not work. they have an incentive to do that. to see if pictures. how does it compare to what conditions are what they need a people who are normally like? it is not so... every prepared to put aside their personal ambitions for a little while in order to get theresa may out of ten downing st and it is significant that summer javed, the winter we have situations like this downing st and it is significant that summerjaved, the home secretary, who is someone who would but we have never had such a big like to be leader, is prepared to sit back and let david lidington ta ke sit back and let david lidington take thejob. jeremy rescue mission. this is the biggest
6:12 am
in our part of norway. are there any sit back and let david lidington take the job. jeremy hunt does not wish to do that and mr gove clearly other boats out that you are concerned about? not now. but has his ambitions as well. across the wider party, they would need to earlier, last night they were. can come to some kind of brexit arrangement that may look quite different to what the prime minister you confirm helicopters will be going out once again, a little bit has been advocating and you will later this morning chris my the have problems with different helicopters are flying here. we will factions of the conservative party whichever position you end up staking out. the interesting thing let you get back to the important to me is that a pipe staggering work you are doing. you see from the degree of unanimity has broken out pictures it looks absolutely terrifying. we hope to speak to people who have been travelling on the viking sky. having to airlift and the prime minister's days are numbered. the performance should put rather than getting a boat in last week with a fairly disastrous address and the to and alongside. pretty wild weather off flowing from one day to the next has the coast of norway. talking of the undermined her capabilities in the cabinet. she has a personal brand of weather. bean salad and a little bit dull but
6:13 am
she has changed position on several i have managed to find another occasions in the space of two or three days and they no longer trust beautiful sunrise. for much of england and wales, it is a lovely start to the day with spring sunshine on offer. this little and they are looking for somebody fellow causing the issues has been replaced by another one in the far else to take things on and don't forget, so far, we havejust had the north—west and that is where the outbreaks of showery rain is. a real first phase of the eu negotiations. it has been about the withdrawal agreement but what has not been decided and fully now down is the final deal that britain establishes with the eu and that means a second phase and people have agreed that rush of wet weather up into the theresa may should not lead that north—west, just into northern ireland as well. that weather front will continue southwards. slow second phase. if they have any chance of getting people like boris improvement in scotland. the rain johnson back on board she will have to leave. a lot of people would be will push its way steadily towards england. enjoy the sunshine if you forgiven for waking up and asking who david lidington is. what do we got it. it will be a pleasant know about him? he's a guy who has afternoon for england and wales. we will see those showers become lighter by three not particularly been around for a very long time. he was david cameron's europa minister warm in scotland. the rain for a long time which means he knows weakening. an improving picture for
6:14 am
northern ireland. cloud in north wales and elsewhere largely fine, the power brokers in brussels. they have lost trust in the prime minister and i think they can do business with david lidington. he is a father of four, a religious man dry and sunny. cooler in scotland. but he was also shadow northern ireland secretary at an early part particularly in the far north, with those showers. as we move into in his career and he knows of the monday, the showery rain will sleep dup, the semi— coalition partners of south. a band of cloud through the the tories. the people keeping the night. towards a north—westerly tories in downing street and who direction so a cooler source oppose the brexit deal at the particularly in the exposed coast. moment. he knows those people who low single figures widely across the the tories need to get back on board and he is someone who end of this country first thing in the morning. role as a deputy since the general a good deal of dry weather in the election has been trying to get story. you will not be disappointed deals done in cabinet, sort things with the week ahead if that is what out behind the scenes. he is a fixer you are after. but the nights will remain pretty chilly with the clear and someone who most people who deal with him see him as a fair chap who skies. some mist and fog. high—pressure drifting steadily they can do business with and that eastwards as we go for the week and a subtle change of wind direction is significant when you're looking
6:15 am
for someone to take on this job for probably three or months to get it and change to the feel of things. 0n over the line. thank you for talking to us. monday, the winds coming from the northerly direction so the exposed coast on the chilly side. a good deal of dry weather. 0utbreaks coast on the chilly side. a good deal of dry weather. outbreaks of here's louise with a look showery in scotland. maybe a little at this morning's weather. bit cooler on the exposed east coast. the winds swinging around for an atlantic field in the south—west. milder towards the end of the week with temperatures in the high teens iam i am colour co—ordinated with my for some of us. weather watcher picture. the reason that will do. she did a whole focus iam weather watcher picture. the reason i am showing you this is because yesterday morning was pretty cloudy and dull but it is an improving picture because this weather front and that'll do is what you have! has now eased away. the sunshine looking at the papers. we heard from the sunday times political editor will be here but a different story further west. the weather front will earlier, the headline cabinet coup to dig mate for emergency pm and that could david lidington be. you continue to be an issue and because it is quite chilly, some of the
6:16 am
would be forgiven for not knowing showers will be snow as well. they much about david lidington but we will drift their way steadily into northern england as we go through will explain later about who he is. this afternoon. blustery wind across a very big week in politics and the brexit negotiations could play out. the northern isles. some showers remaining in scotland but fewer the afternoon. the slow improvement through northern ireland. lots of you might have seen the peoples spring sunshine to look forward to march in london yesterday. in favour and in the sun, it will feel quite pleasant. in the shade, still a bit ofa pleasant. in the shade, still a bit of another referendum, attended by a million people, so they believe. of a chill. 0vernight, the weather while we are talking about front will slowly push its way westminster, here is another across central and southern england westminster, here is another westminster related story. mps and by then a band of cloud and the expenses, the amount they are winds will swing around to a spending, taxpayerfunded expenses, the amount they are spending, taxpayer funded expenses, has gone up by 22% since the scandal northerly direction. a chilly start to our morning. quite widely low, a decade ago. it seems single figures. the week ahead looks extraordinary. a £6 80 lavatory she fairly straightforward. dry for many of us. there will be sunshine around
6:17 am
but with the chilly nights, patching —— seat but then had to buy another mist and fog at times. this area of one for £10 87. it is a false high pressure that gradually builds economy spending too little on blue in across the west. a little bit on seats. again, nothing to learn in the morning. —— loo seeds. mel b the cool side at times, particularly with any exposure or in any shade. a bit of showery rain into the far west of scotland. largely fine and from the spice girls said she spent a night with geri. i don't know how dry with highest values of ten or 13 degrees. caller in exposed coasts. is it -- a night with geri. i don't know how is it —— how it is exclusive because it is in three papers this morning. time now for click. —— cooler. some slightly less cold airwill —— cooler. some slightly less cold air will push in. with each day through the week, we could see central and southern parts just warming up. highest values towards the end of the week potentially into the end of the week potentially into
6:18 am
the high—teens. the end of the week potentially into the high-teens. you are hollow because —— colour co—ordinated and i drones could transform our skies as we know them, am hopingi because —— colour co—ordinated and i am hoping i will be colour making deliveries, watching over us co—ordinated with the sky a bit and even saving lives. later on. but as recent flight disruptions have taught us, there are also possible we will be back with the headlines downsides from unwanted ones. at 630. last december, here at gatwick airport, chaos ensued. time now for this week's film review. hello and welcome to the film review on bbc news. after reports of repeated drone to take us through this week's sightings, a thousand cinema releases is mark kermode. flights were disrupted, so mark, what do we have this week? 1a0,000 passengers affected and all of this was said to add up to a cost of £50 million. we have the white crow, which is soon after, there was a similar a biopic about rudolf nureyev. scare at heathrow as well as at we have us, the new film newark airport in the us. byjordan peel, who made get out. but how do we take down problem drones safely? and minding the gap, well, dan simmons has a skateboarding movie that is not been to the netherlands really about skateboarding. where the national police force is sponsoring a competition that hopes to find new ways of doing just that. in a hangar in the middle of nowhere in the netherlands. an epic air battle
6:19 am
is about to commence. nine teams from across europe the white crow — i'm quite and america are trying to smash each other out of the sky intrigued, it sounds good. an interesting story and grab the 30,000 euros top prize directed by ralph fiennes, who also has a role in the film, in the title of the 2019 and it is about rudolf nureyev‘s drone clash champions. all they have to do is down defection to the west. the film opens with ralph fiennes's character being asked what he knows and why did this happen? the opposition's queen drone. he says enigmatically he wasn't political, it was all to do with dance. he says he had an explosion of character, which is a great phrase. but the organisers the film then retraces itself and we see the progress of this kid from a fairly impoverished have not made it easy. background who makes his way up the tree and comes to dance in paris, sees paris, falls in love with it, to some extent is seduced by it, this is one of the arenas that one which the russian authorities of the teams will start from, are not happy with at all. here is a clip. blue and red are the colours. they will leave their queen in here and that is what the opposing team everything is ok, don't worry. will have to try to knock out but they will leave their queen here. don't worry. their fighter drones will come stay with me. through what is called the corridor stay. they are trying to kidnap me. of death, doom and destruction
6:20 am
keep it calm, please. and a tesla coil behind me, waiting to knock out one of those fighter drones that gets too close. c02 gas pumps here firing at those drones as they if this is a punishment... it is not a punishment. come around the corner. they've got to get past can ijust say, if this this tennis ball machine is because rudy spent time hanging which is going to fire balls. out with me and my friends, can i say, never did rudy say one there is going to be word against his country, a man with a gun that against his government, or against the company. fires a net through this hole to try to take out those drones never. not one single word, ever. if they come round. 0k. lights will be flushing keep it under control. to try to blind the pilots 0k. it's ok. but once they get down this corridor of doom, death and destruction, they get to their opponent's arena and a chance to take out the queen. with all this destruction of kit going on, it's perhaps surprising no—one is called the cops but that's 0leg ivenko is the star, because they are the ones sponsoring and i gather ralph fiennes scoured the former soviet union looking the event. for someone to play him. he needed someone who could dance, because if you got a body double, it would double the time of the film and the budget of the film. so he needed someone who could dance. as you can see from the clip, i think he is very charismatic on camera. in this contest, we hope to come he is a good actor and gives across new creative ideas you the sense of on the one hand that we can adapt and use
6:21 am
everything that is attractive about nureyev‘s character, and also everything that is dangerous about it. what the film is about east and west, control and rebellion. in our police matters. at the centre of it is ballet, something of course is something which requires really strict discipline, something the russians are strong on. but he is a rebellious spirit, do you have your own ability and he is told at one point, to bring a drone down? you are not technically very good, i will not go in detail about the abilities that we have. in some ways you are quite clumsy, but your spirit is perfect, we have some abilities but it's not enough for us and that is really what the film for the long run. is about. actually we were hoping to see i mean, hats off to ralph fiennes new strategies to help us bringing for not only getting his head drones down but i did see also new threats because perhaps around the complexities of ballet, but russian... the characters when they are in you noticed, there are a lot russia speak russian. of drones that carry some sort they do not do that thing about speaking english of ball around them and some of the measures with a bit of cod russian accent. we take, it's attacking the rotors. and although it is a fairly well the rotors are now protected known story, watching the film, by these balls so it actually poses you realise how much you didn't us with another problem. know about it. i do think it was a really smart decision to get somebody who can convince as a dancer. you watch the ballet sequences and they are every bit as much part of the narrative so we're just fixing our drones. and why his character does what his character does, they got a little bit mangled as all the dialogue in the last competition. and the rest of it. this is actually already i thought it was interesting, flattened again. and i am someone who knows how do you flatten it? nothing about ballet. she stands on them. you stand on them?
6:22 am
our primary strategy was to use brute force which is why we have this gigantic machine. motors get hit, it can fly without. i doubt that is true! if it gets damaged, it can still fly which we thought was amazing however as you can see right now, it is missing stabilisation, this is quite broken. the next is from jordan but perhaps overall the event showed peel, who did get out. which i absolutely loved, the human flying skills on show that was stunning. were often the deciding factor. get out was great. it looks so easy because and the thing with get out was it was very much they are so adept at it. in the style of stepford wives, your brain does somersaults and it's a film about the way flicking back the other way and it's in which liberal america all bonkers and the speed with was still deeply racist. this is slightly more broad which those drones, and slightly harder to pin down, they are flying over my head now, but i like that about it. the speed with which they make decisions and flips it is essentially a family who go and reverse isjust nuts. this is an airborne for a holiday up by santa cruz, version of robot wars. and outside their house turns up my kids know nothing another family of doppelgangers. of robot wars but they will know about this. and the title is a pun. both my boys have drones so aerial battling the film is called us, but as is us. drones, it doesn't get any better. there is a tesla coil in there, for god's sake. there is a line that rings through it, somebody says "we are americans." 0n the fringes of the battlefield, and you can watch the film and think companies in the growing business maybe it is about the way of taking down drones in which everyone has a shadow side, were showing off their solutions. this system is already operating like a jekyll and hyde thing, at a norwegian airport.
6:23 am
or maybe you can see it as a parable it tracks and then identifies drones about the way that affluent as a threat before jamming the frequencies used societies have a parasitic relationship with the hidden underclass. or you can just see it as a jack finney bodysnatchers—style horror to control them. tale that is really well done. the clever thing about it is, remember all the stuff of the golden globes about get out in a usual environment, being a comedy? when you jam the drone, somebody said it should it will either start hovering be a documentary. in the case of this, and go back to his sender, the scary bits are properly scary, his operator or it will go down the funny bits are properly funny, eventually on the battery. and all the way through, it can also jam the global positioning system. it is thought—provoking the drone will start hovering and really well textured. around, flying around it is the kind of film because it doesn't know you would come out afterwards and go where it is and eventually it for a coffee with a friend and go, will go down also on its battery. what was it about? what was actually happening? what was the message? it's not straightforward, this beast is the drone catcher, not simple, but it's really crowd pleasing, making use of radar systems already and i think it will do really well. in the field to get its targets' he's a terrifically good director. real—time 3d co—ordinates before did you find get out scary? automatically flying to the area and lining up its prey. we shoot the net over the drone. more so intriguing, we can carry it away with a wire rather than scary. i watched it twice because it made sense more the second time. the same is true of us. and drop it down with a parachute. once you have seen it the first time round, go back and watch it,
6:24 am
and then there is this. there are loads of clever things. the gun emits a powerful the bits that are meant to be electromagnetic beam, scary are properly scary. knocking out the command not in a gory, but there is some violence in it. and control, video link but it's just really well—paced. a bit scarier than get out? and gps frequencies used by the drone. strict regulations in europe mean it can't be used here but its dutch makers told me they are doing good business with governments yes. 0k, minding the gap you've told us a documentary in the middle east. about skateboarders that is not back in the arena, a documentary about skateboarders. and the final was under way. no. in the end, it came down to brute it started with him filming his force and battery power, friends and him skateboarding when he was a teenager, with belgium's team slunse flying away with the 30k prize. and he was originally trying to make the dutch authorities certainly a film that, in their own words, have a more entertaining way of learning how to down shows them having the best time rogue drones than of their lives. standing around and but then, as they grew up, scratching their heads. the film becomes about a crisis now, in some parts of the world it has become pretty commonplace in masculinity and what is actually happening to his friends as they go for kids to learn to code, from childhood to manhood, and they all start to discover that their love of skateboarding but for those with vision problems, was a way of escaping from things it is still fairly inaccessible in their background, in their past. so we sent paul carter to find out we start to see evidence of domestic violence, of problems of poverty, what some of the big tech companies of repeating the sins of the parents are doing to try and open up being passed down to the children. coding to children who are blind or partially sighted.
6:25 am
and the brilliant thing about it is, it does all this in a way that never feels like it is anything more than an intimate look at friends who had found something in skateboarding. here is a clip. and then what happens? i'm just having a word with this naughty pod. what happened? oh, yes. do it. it's trying to run away. hey, this the skateboard? yeah. this is eight—year—old ellie. here, he held in a lot. like many other children her age she is learning how to code. she also happens to be blind. do you have it on the one you want to happen first? yeah. ellie is using a physical, tactile coding language and his dad, he was really called code jumper. developed by microsoft, it is a block—based modular system consisting of a series of pods. kind of strict on him. each of which contains a single line of code, making up a story, a poem or in this case, a song. you know, his father # row, row, row your boat was a carpenter, and he gently down the stream, wanted kier to do that. life is but a dream...# he couldn't get the other boys to follow in his footsteps, but kier didn't like it. hurry! do it! coding is by its nature a visual medium and often requires being able sometimes, i'd know that to see the whole picture. i had to work with him, what makes code jumper unique
6:26 am
is that it allows blind so i would sneak out my window, and partially sighted children put my board out first to have an overview of their code and just climb out. with their hands. the woman leading the project is cecily morrison, when i got home, i got disciplined. a computer scientist at microsoft's cambridge research laboratory, it was an escape for a while. who herself has a blind son. for blind and no—vision i thought it was moving and engrossing, partly because it is very intimate. children specifically, also because in the same way that the skateboarding is a thing the technologies that were available were not accessible to them, that young men use to escape, so many children now obviously the film—making learn programming, is a therapy for the film—maker starting at the age of seven, who goes back to confront his own with block—base languages. the other aspect that we should not demons and things in his own past. forget about is that we created this to be available to children regardless of their level of vision and it shifts very gently so that means that it is available from being something that is like to children who are blind with no richard linklater‘s boyhood or maybe vision, it's equally available that documentary dogtown and z boys, into something which really gets under the skin of these young men for children who are sighted. as they now are wrestling that is one of the things with the fact that they still have that we were very aware of, things in their past is that we did not that they haven't dealt with. want to create a technology that i thought it was really terrific, and i went in knowing isolated the blind or nothing about it other low—vision child at the back of the class, in a different than it was about skateboards. classroom, doing their own thing. i know a little bit we wanted something about skateboarding because i used they could engage with other to skateboard as a kid. children, encode together.
6:27 am
i imagine you were but codejumper is only one solution pretty good actually. no, i used to fall off a lot, to the issue of getting children with vision impairment to coding. but it was the thing to do. some of you are new to apple ipad for those not watching the bbc news accessibility and coding so today channel this weekend, we're going to run a session... what is the best thing out at the moment? last week i'm going to do this, i'm only ever allowed two. kindergarten teacher, the maggie gyllenhall film, you have to seek it out because it is not playing in a lot of theatres. but it is a story about a teacher who becomes obsessed that one of her pupils is the new mozart. the film is really about, is the kid actually a brilliant poet or is it all the projection of the teacher, who is played by maggie gyllenhall? i think it is brilliant at linden lodge, a school for children with sensory impairments in south london, and really smart. i went to see how apple have been working with the royal national i do want to see that one. institute for blind people, to increase access to its own it is great. best dvd is something popular coding education app, that i know you loved, called swift playgrounds. and i kind of liked, apple is using its suite of accessibility tools but not as much as you. already built into its i0s devices i was amazed that widows did not get such as, voice—over, more attention from the awards. high contrast and large text it was based on a tv series, in conjunction with much more old school assistive tech. directed by steve mcqueen, it says go here, go here, go here. who cast lupita nyong'o in 12 years a slave, and and that is where it is. she's the lead in us. they have created braille and tactile maps for each level i thought this was great, a brilliant ensemble cast of the app so blind children can headed up by viola davis. navigate the whole screen area what did you not like? with their hands.
6:28 am
i didn't like that it didn't develop there's clearly still a role for tactile maps all the women's characters, and for images, and diagrams. i did not feel to a full extent. yeah, i think it is a healthy kind of dynamic mix i was going to say it of old and new and perhaps some is a fair criticism. it is enjoyable. i think it is more than enjoyable, i think it is really profound. from a film—making point experimentation as well. of view, i think it is a brilliantly made film. profound how? it shows you a group of characters the children here are using you think you understand, swift playground to create code that and then you realise that will make a small drone fly. you actually don't know them. you know, it is incredible. it is one of those films i think it's a moment in which action is character. when will say things like, people don't explain "i did not think i would ever what they are doing. they do it, and that explains be able to do this." "this is awesome," "i want to do this for a career." what they are doing. that is fantastic, and it is contagious , maybe i'll go and see it again on dvd. other kids pick up on that and think thank you, mark, as ever. that's it for this week though. "maybe i can do that too." thanks for watching. "i didn't know that those goodbye. tools were accessible, i'll go in see if i can create something" and then they show one of their peers and before you know it you've got lots of people interested — that is what we want to do, just kind of spread the magic, show what is possible to do and make sure that inclusion is at the heart
6:29 am
of the development process. applause. that's it for the short version of this week's click. the full programme can be found on the bbc iplayer, and if you want to keep up with the team throughout the weekend, you can find us on facebook, instagram and twitter @bbcclick. we will be back next week.
