10:31 pm
hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are james rampton, features writer at the independent, and the guardian columnist dawn foster. many of tomorrow's front pages are already in. starting with the observer, which reports that conservative mps from across the party are furious with the prime minister after suggestions that she may call a snap general election next week. they're threatening to vote down any attempted election. the mail on sunday says that number 10 is at war over the prospect of a snap election, which is being seen as suicidal. the paper's own poll says that labour currently hold a 5—point lead over the tories. whilst the sunday telegraph quotes senior conservatives who warn that the party risks annihilation if an election is called. the sunday express claims that, if mps vote to remain in the customs union on monday, then that means the uk will be
10:32 pm
forced to remain under eu rule permanently. whilst the sunday times reports that, if mrs may accepts a deal that keeps the uk in the customs union or leads to the uk's inclusion in this year's european elections, then brexiteer ministers will resign, leaving the cabinet on the brink of collapse. are you keeping up? quite a lot to absorb, isn't there? we have got all 11 minutes to deal with this. first, the sunday times, cabinet close to collapse, people threatening to walk out, we are told. nobody is happy at all. at the moment, the big worry is that people are desperate for theresa may to set a timetable for when she will leave. half of the the times front page is tory mps putting themselves forward as possible leaders on the other half talking about how the entire cabinet is
10:33 pm
about how the entire cabinet is about to collapse, and the big worry is that nothing will get done, so nobody has any confidence in theresa may, she is trying to hold her cabinet together and nobody is backing her whatsoever. normally a prime minister has a small group of people around them who give them confidence but theresa may seems com pletely confidence but theresa may seems completely alone. she has said, when her deal goes through. the other thing they are saying here, it feels slightly overblown, is that the queen could step in if a soft brexit we re queen could step in if a soft brexit were to be going forward. she would probably have a face as crosses she has here! that has never happened before. the idea is that the government would say, parliament and trying to take over, they are putting forward this proposal, we do not like it, do not give it royal assent. we are getting into the realm of cromwell versus charles here. it is ridiculous suggestion to
10:34 pm
the queen would intervene. it has been described as the nuclear option. i am sure some die—hard brexiteers would be delighted if the queen intervened but i do not think that will happen. ijust feel like theresa may is like the black knight in monty python's holy grail where the opposition is chopping off her arms and legs and she is saying, i am still ready to fight! it is only am still ready to fight! it is only a flesh wound! and she refuses... in some way it is admirable, in other ways lunacy, she refuses to accept defeat. she is still saying she will bring it back next week. meanwhile, the sunday telegraph as saying a snap election would annihilate the tories, a suggestion she would call one this coming week. in the past when she said there has been no election, there was. she has got previous there. i also think it is hilarious that some of the papers
10:35 pm
are suggesting she may urge mps to back a no—confidence vote in herself is the only way of triggering an election because she would not be able to command a two thirds majority, which is required under the fixed parliament act. but she is safe until next november. she survived a confidence vote. if labour called one, she would urged tories to back one, which is insanity. she said over and over again that she did not want another election but just again that she did not want another election butjust after her vote went through on friday, she said she felt that they were coming to the end of what was possible for brexit under parliament. and that seems to bea under parliament. and that seems to be a coded message that either it went back to europe or it went to a second referendum or a general election. in the observer saying furious tory mps have told her, we will block a snap brexit election
10:36 pm
because they think that labour are too far ahead. if you look at pulse tonight, the last few weeks, the conservatives are worried because initially it seems that the public seemed frustrated with her, and then increasingly shifted. and labour seemed to be staying the same, if not getting a slight boost. and now obviously with splitting the vote and the third meaningful vote falling yet again, the conservatives we re falling yet again, the conservatives were trailing in the polls but at the same time they are deadlocked, so the same time they are deadlocked, so she moved to a general election, 2017 they lost seats, 2019 they could be wiped out that generation. iagree. could be wiped out that generation. i agree. the terrifying prospect for many tories particularly in marginal seats as they will be wiped out, and vote rs seats as they will be wiped out, and voters are blaming them for what has seemed like the most self—indulgent psychodrama that has taken place
10:37 pm
within the tory party. for me the worst thing that mrs may has done is put the party before the country, and her whole modus operandi here has been to save her own party and stop it splitting. but will not them in the party say she has put herself before any of it? that is probably even more egregious.|j before any of it? that is probably even more egregious. i am not saying that, james! even more egregious. i am not saying that, james! some might say that, andi that, james! some might say that, and i would agree with that. but her self—preservation has also been posited on the idea of not splitting the tories which seems to me an impossibility if you compare ha rdliners impossibility if you compare hardliners like steve baker with people like dominic grieve who sadly seems to be on his way out because ofa seems to be on his way out because of a vote of no confidence. it is not binding, though. that party cannot contain people of such opposing views. the mail on sunday are saying boris, the voters choice
10:38 pm
to replace the prime minister. you put a funny face there? he might be the voters choice but at this point, because of the way the tory leader is chosen, i don't think you would get through to become prime minister, he needs to get mps behind him. but whoever puts themselves forward at this point is taking a huge risk because they are taking over the conservative party a toxic time so it either has to be somebody who has the utmost conviction that they can turn this around or it has to be somebody who is hungry for power in which case they are probably not the best person. if i was a conservative. . . probably not the best person. if i was a conservative... the last person you want in the white house asa person you want in the white house as a person who wants to be in the white house. but jeremy corbyn takes shock five—point it says. white house. but jeremy corbyn takes shock five-point it says. you could argue that he should have a 35 point lead given that in my long life this
10:39 pm
is the worst government i can never remember. i also think that the tory party is so obsessed with itself and its leadership, guardian writer said this week, if there was an apocalypse, a all would exist are tory leadership campaigns and cockroaches! they are so obsessed with themselves and their sense of power and entitlement that that's what is destroying the country at the moment and it makes me furious. and i am glad that is the only bit you have quoted! the sunday express, brexit, the final though tomorrow could tie us to the eu forever, and if there was customs union. there are addictive votes on monday. the paper comes out tomorrow. ——
10:40 pm
indicative. if a customs union that comes up, indicative. if a customs union that comes up, that is probably one that is most likely to pass. it fell by oat the votes before, it could crash over the line, it would then have to go through a deal and get ratified by the eu etc. and it looks like the most acceptable case at this point. it isa most acceptable case at this point. it is a softer brexit, labour would back it. but it means that your trade deals, you are not free because you have got to abide by those rules. but the vote in 2016 was, do you want to remain in the eu will not? it was a binary choice. so if you leave the eu but stay within some form of customs union you are still leaving the eu so still fulfilling what all people pompously talk about, we must respect the will of the people, but not if it is destroying the country in this way, and then if this is a way out of that, possibly... but not people
10:41 pm
would be very happy with a no deal had brexit, focus the attention on wto rules. they tend to be rich people who have the way of shifting their companies to other countries and avoiding the catastrophe of an economic downturn of up to 10% which would hit hardest the people who voted brexit and some of the poorest parts of this country, and the rich people who talk about the theory of avoiding a vassal state and all that, they will not be affected by the cataclysmic poverty that will be inflicted on some people by no deal. but the economy is not in a bad state. but it would be in a worse state. but it would be in a worse state if no deal happened. let's finish with the observer, teachers volunteer for finish with the observer, teachers volunteerfor £7,000 pay finish with the observer, teachers volunteer for £7,000 pay cut to save jobs of colleagues, where is it happening? south london. it is a terrific story. a timely reminder
10:42 pm
that very important aspects of our society are being ignored because brexit sucking all the air out of the room and some teachers have volunteered to take a £7,000 a year pay cut to save their colleagues jobs! that is a huge pick cut the teachers to take. it will obviously have a huge impact. i think it is five teachers in one school in wandsworth. they are desperately trying to keep the jobs of two classroom assistants. it is a reminder as well that when theresa may said in november that austerity was over what she meant to sit would not be further cuts but the cuts that had happened so far that were ruining a lot of schools and really making public services, cut them to the bone, still existed but itjust meant there would not be further cuts. some of the cuts were yet to be felt, and this was on top of schools in the west midlands who are not staying open for the full five days. a number of schools in
10:43 pm
birmingham and the wider west midlands now are closing for all of friday or friday afternoon which plays havoc for working parents. but it's also a dereliction of the government's duty, if you have got one job as a government it is to educate the people and make sure that future generations are well informed and able to get good jobs, and if you are having to close schools, you are massively failing in that particularjob. that's it for the papers this hour. james and dawn will be back at 11:30pm for another look at the papers. next on bbc news, it's click.
10:44 pm
an estimated 700,000 people are living with autism in the uk alone. across the world, more and more people are being diagnosed with the condition. april 2 is world autism awareness day, which aims to help us all to understand more about the challenges faced by people with autism on a daily basis. high levels of anxiety are one of the most common difficulties faced by people on the spectrum. and paul carter has been looking at some of the technologies which aim to help manage the stress levels. the situations that can kind of make me really anxious is almost every time i leave the house because then it leaves my control, i don't really know what's going to happen beyond that. being in a big crowd of noisy people canjust make my whole brain shut down. i get anxious in social situations
10:45 pm
when there's a group conversation. i feel anxious when meeting new people. the autistic people i've been speaking to have developed their own coping mechanisms. anxiety is a huge part of being autistic, and a way around this for many people is writing lists. little things like you'll see me doing something called stimming, where you'll see my hands start to fidget and it's just to try and regulate your energy a bit. personal coping strategies aside, the role of technology is something academics are increasingly looking into. technology in various forms can help autistic people understand their emotions, self regulate and seek help. and one of these examples is the early—stage work being carried out by digital education researcher nigel neubert at the university of the west of england. he's looking at how vr can reduce anxiety in teenagers by teaching them practical tasks.
10:46 pm
it's being tried out at this somerset school, where the pupils are training to work in a cafe. put the beans in the grinder. our children with a diagnosis of asd come with the belief that they are going to fail. the actual skill of making the coffee was the easiest thing to teach them, so that's why the vr came in. and actaully what i can concentrate on while i'm in the cafe today is saying hello to someone. they can concentrate on the social side, as opposed to the actual skill side of the job. it will help me overcome new places. when i go in, it'sjust me, there's noone else. it'll help me with fear of messing up and it will help me to know that that's ok, you can do that. another technology in the offing is the molehill mountain app, being developed by king's college london and the research charity autistica. choose the worries you want to add
10:47 pm
to molehill mountain. bright lights, yep. that's a big one. we gave it to three volunteers to try out for a couple of weeks. based on cognitive behavioural therapy adapted for autistic people, this self—managing app tracks anxieties by asking autistic adults to import their daily worries into bubbles that then float over a mountain. their task is to then pop those bubbles, processing and preparing for their anxiety. when the user captures their worries, they're rewarded with tips to help them learn more about their situations. it all sounds fine, but what did our users make of it? it seemed a bit illogical. how's popping these imaginary bubbles on a screen going to help? but it did help, massively. if i was having a bad day to reflect on it at the end of the day, that potentially would have been good, to just look over what's happened, et cetera. but there are definitely the negatives to the app, like it asks you to add your worries. i added seven worries and then it
10:48 pm
told me you have too many worries, that's what it said. and i was like well, don't tell an autistic person that, that's not ideal. it asked me to describe things in my own words and the words 'describe' and 'explain' are just... and 'imagine'... yeah... what would have made it better for you? yeah, i think the — either if you'd asked direct questions on a number scale, say how did you feel this on a scale of one to ten? what seems to be clear is that the anxieties around autism are very individualised. a cloud—based software, that's now offered by some areas on the nhs, giving personalised solutions is called brain in hand. this system is also based on established therapies and coaching and rests on health professionals working with users to devise answers for particular situations. when users become anxious, they use the brain in hand app to access the solutions that have
10:49 pm
already been programmed in for them. a worry that third year university student rosie king has is getting lost. the app gives her solutions and helps manage her emotions whenever this happens. there's a logical part of my brain that knows everything's going to be fine and you're going to get homejust fine. but there's a bigger part of my head that's banging pots and pans, screaming "you failed! you failed! we're lost, we're never going to get home! what are we going to do?!" the app's anxiety monitor helps rosie reflect on how she feels and prompts her on prearranged tasks. but something that's especially comforting is the 24/7 red button backup that connects her to a real live person. i've tried just doing the best that i can, but i'm just really freaking out. i only use the red alarm service when i'm really at my worst, when i'm really low and i can't control myself and i really need to talk to somebody. and that somebody is always there,
10:50 pm
and thatjust feels great for somebody in my situation. while all of the technologies we've looked at can be beneficial for people on the spectrum, not least because they've had input from autistic people, there are more and more becoming available all the time. the beta project, that's launching later this year, is gathering a database of what's out there, including technologies to help tackle anxieties. there are technologies that target the general population that can't be used by autistic people. but there are, for example, sensory issues for autistic people and technology needs to adapt to those needs to be non—threatening and to be effective. we're back at the steve jobs theater at apple hq once again. but this time, the announcement is going to be a little different. instead of a new device, apple now wants to talk about entertainment.
10:51 pm
from spielberg to big bird, apple is bursting into hollywood with what it hopes will be a wildly popular tv service of its own. unlike anything that's been done before. it's announced apple tv+. a subscription service launching later this year, and designed to rival what's already out there from netflix and amazon. the company hasn't said how much it will cost but it has promised you'll be able to access exclusive content from stars like 0prah, reese witherspoon, jennifer aniston, kumail nanjiani and more. and you'll be able to get shows from other networks for an additionalfee, just as you can on amazon prime video today. because of that, i think it's fair to say apple will need to stand out. 0prah winfrey's obviously a great star and it's great to have her, but for her to come in and say i'll do uplifting stuff that will raise everyone's spirits, i don't know if you can sell a tv service with that.
10:52 pm
speaking of additional fees, you may find yourself being asked to pay a lot more of them from now on. also announced here was apple news+ a subscription news service that costs $9.99 per month. for that, you get access to around 300 or so magazines you'd ordinarily have to subscribe to individually. however, only two newspapers have signed up to apple's plan — the wall streetjournal and the la times. apple also came up with a gaming subscription service called apple arcade, which, if you watched the show last week, you'll know sounds pretty similar to some of what google recently unveiled. you won't find these games on any other mobile platform or in any other subscription service. and then there was this. apple card. a credit card apple has made in partnership with megabank goldman sachs and mastercard. what apple is trying to do with all of this, if you hadn't noticed, is make more money from what you do with your phone.
10:53 pm
so over the past year, we've been hearing them talk about services, making money from services. and certainly, in the last few quarters of their earnings, they have been getting a lot of money from services, that's where the big growth is. so when it comes to tv, apple did just about what we expected. big stars paid up and ready to go. but i'm wondering whether they can truly be as creative as netflix and even amazon when it comes to making exciting television. but maybe it won't matter because, as soon as they launch this thing, it will be on a billion devices just like that. how many lenses do you actually need on your phone camera? one, two? lg thinks five, even nokia's come in at nine. actually, it really depends on how you use your camera phone. so, 60 seconds, please, it's time for your guide. let's go! do you like to take pictures of your food or generally spend time in dark environments?
10:54 pm
sounds like you're shooting in low light a lot. experts say that the google pixel 3 and huawei's new p30, released this week, are leading the field. next up, are you a pinch and zoomer? or do you prefer what i call the human zoom? look for optical zooms if you want to get close to the action and keep the details. but it'll cost you, as many say the top of the ops are the iphone 10 and 10s, the galaxy s9+, and again, the p30. shooting video on your phone gives it a massive workout, so remember to check that you've got something that has decent battery life and lots of space. those in the know rate the sony xperia xz3 for its fantastic slo—mo features, and the 0neplus 6t as a viable budget alternative with a brighter, long exposure night mode. ah, made it, and with a few seconds to spare. and that's it for the short cut of click for this week.
10:55 pm
the full—length version is waiting for you right now up on iplayer, and don't forget, we also live on social media, so if you need us during the week, you'll find us on facebook, instagram, youtube and twitter, @bbcclick. thanks for watching and we'll see you soon. hello again. it's been a decent start to the weekend across much of england and wales with not a great deal of cloud around, plenty of sunshine, and that's how the day panned out earlier in parts of north wales with barely a cloud in the sky earlier on. and it was warm in that spring sunshine — temperatures reached 20 celsius in kew in greater london, the warmest place in the country, but the wind of change is blowing and, as we head into sunday, those temperatures in the capital dropping by 9 celsius.
10:56 pm
the cooler weather is brought about by this cold front that's already been pushing southwards, bringing that colder air into northern ireland and scotland and, as we go through this evening and overnight, that weatherfront will continue to push southwards, so cloud and a little bit of rain working into parts of wales, the midlands, east anglia, maybe the south—east of england towards the end of the night. the cloud stopping things from getting too cold for most of england and wales, but for northern england, northern ireland and scotland, cold enough for some frost, and that frost will be widespread in scotland. temperatures down to —3, “i! celsius. and a reminder that, overnight, those clocks go forward, meaning, for most of us, it's an hour less in bed unless you're a mum, in which case you've got the lie—in card for sunday. for sunday, there's going to be a lot more cloud around across england and wales and a chilly easterly wind as well, really knocking those temperatures down — highs of 11 celsius in london. probably scotland, northern ireland and the far north of england having the best of the day's sunshine. looking at highs of 7—10 celsius, so feeling a little on the chilly side here.
10:57 pm
and through sunday night, with those clearing skies again, it will be another cold one with a widespread frost. a cold start to the day on monday but a lot of dry weather for east scotland, most of england and wales with some decent sunshine after that chilly start and, with the winds coming in more from a southerly direction, temperatures lifting a little bit across southern parts of england and wales but, at the same time, wet weather gets into northern ireland and western scotland through monday afternoon. that rain is tied in with another cold front. here it is. and that will push eastwards across the uk during tuesday and this cold front will really hammer the temperatures. we start to get cold north—westerly winds feeding in so, as the rain clears, there'll be some sunshine, but plenty of showers for north—western areas of the uk. those showers are wintry over the hills, and it will feel really cold across north—western areas with temperatures just 6—7dc. that's your latest weather.
