10:31 pm
hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me our author and journalist yasmin alibhai—brown, and martin lipman... i yasmin alibhai—brown, and martin lipman. .. i have yasmin alibhai—brown, and martin lipman... i have made you into maureenmy cousin! martin lipton, chief butcher put up the sun. watch out for operation stack when he is in the studio. he knows what i mean. many of tomorrow's front pages are already in. let's begin with the financial times, which reports that, ahead of another week of indicative voting, theresa may is struggling to keep the conservative party together. the independent‘s says conflicting views in the cabinet are tearing the party apart — with divisions deepening ahead of another momentous week. and the guardian says theresa may's government is on the verge of meltdown. the daily telegraph has an interview with transport secretary chris grayling. he says the party may need two new leaders in the next few years — one experienced head to negotiate brexit and another to be a leader of the future.
10:32 pm
the metro reports on the stabbings in edmonton, north london of four people who have experienced critical and life changing injuries. the mail says that prime minister and the home secretary will tomorrow say knife crime must be treated like an infectious disease. the daily express leads on a report from diabetes uk, which says that one person is diagnosed with the debilitating condition every three minutes in england and wales. we will start with brexit, particularly how the guardian is reporting on it and looking ahead to the coming week. ministers try to force may's hand as cabinet rift widens. any suggestion of a snap election will apparently be flattened by quite a lot of people. i think flattened by quite a lot of people. ithink an flattened by quite a lot of people. i think an election would be a big mistake at this point. we are in the
10:33 pm
middle of the most unbelievable chaos and an election would be the last thing... this is quite interesting, it is like everyone now, whatever political side they are on, in the papers, genuinely wa nts are on, in the papers, genuinely wants something sensible to come out in the next few days. they are not going for theresa may, the guardian is suggesting we had to sort this out. i didn't know, i don't know if you knew, there is a new tory group, a one nation group, which is liberal and modern and want to do the right thing for the country, it has people like amber rudd, apparently, and greg clark. in a sense, we have only heard of the erg, there is another group. perhaps heidi allen would have been keen tojoin? group. perhaps heidi allen would have been keen to join? the most graphic thing about the front pages as the picture of theresa may, who
10:34 pm
looks to have let this is awful, i don't want to sound sexist, but she has aged appreciably in the space of a few weeks. doesn't that always happen to prime ministers? they are unflattering photographs. isn't that why they have chosen? she was dancing on the stage a few weeks ago, look at her now, she would struggle to get onto any stage or dance floor at the moment. struggle to get onto any stage or dance floor at the momentlj struggle to get onto any stage or dance floor at the moment. i don't know, maybe i'm too sensitive, but would you all the papers be treating a male prime minister in this way? ifa man a male prime minister in this way? if a man looked that different... it makes a striking photograph. i think it is really interesting, the change apparent in her. you couldn't blame herfor not apparent in her. you couldn't blame her for not speaking much apparent in her. you couldn't blame herfor not speaking much —— sleeping much? on a human leveli
10:35 pm
defy anyone not to feel an enormous merger simply for the prime minister. all prime ministers volunteer. you saw the same transformation stoney tony blair, who went from handsome, smooth skinned, to really weathered. that was over nine or ten years, not nine orten that was over nine or ten years, not nine or ten months, which appears to have happened with may. we also know she is not very well. we have all theseissues she is not very well. we have all these issues and it is coming down to an internal fight amongst a little coterie at the top of the conservative party, all of whom want to live in a certain address. daily telegraph says tories need experience at the helm, this is crisscrossing church like we should listen to him, he has failed at everything has ever done. transport,
10:36 pm
096... everything has ever done. transport, 0%...! everything has ever done. transport, 096... !the everything has ever done. transport, 0%. .. ! the old saying is that young cardinals vote for old popes. he says we need two leaders in the next few years, one to get us through the next couple of years and somebody else for the future. if i did not know better i would suggest he is leading the bid for david davis... another totally hopeless character, he ran away! oblak the former foreign secretary mrjohnson would be another option, he is apparently calling himself a one nation chory. he wants to cut taxes, johnson, that is in the daily telegraph. he says we have to make business come alive. he is an economist, every monday he is the lead in the telegraph and yet ina time
10:37 pm
is the lead in the telegraph and yet in a time of pretty high drama and crisis he has become an afterthought in the front page story, he is way down on the fourth leg of the story. but he says his bid has the biggest ring about it, i want to be leader. cutting taxes wherever we reasonably can, cutting stamp duty, inheritance tax. this is a rich man's charter. that is why the erg has been gunning for him. there is a lot of belief that the post brexit scenario has to be an entirely different britain and the brexiteers belief we can and from this whole new economic situation. meanwhile our children are starving, everybody knows austerity has been a terrible idea. all our children are starving, between have starving children in oui’ between have starving children in our country. we have more children living in poverty. children
10:38 pm
starving, teachers are feeding them, idid not starving, teachers are feeding them, i did not make it up. i amjust trying to nuance... if you oversell something, people do not listen. we need to take a degree of calm amidst the sea of chaos and collectively, we are all lucky, stop over egging every situation. on the daily telegraph and the metro, police and schools required to report potential night offenders, this is with the extension of stop and search powers because of the concerns of what the government are saying is a disease. it is following the prevent model, teachers, social workers and doctors were expected to keep and i young people and see what they were doing, if there were danger signs. i think this is an extension of that, you keep and i all the things that are going on.
10:39 pm
you are watching the children, if you have concerns, there is a way of reporting. part of that is the wider picture, this particular set of incidents... we cannot discuss it too much. we have been reporting some stabbings in north london, there has been a large number of life issues this year across the country. the blood when i said we have to stop exaggerating,“ country. the blood when i said we have to stop exaggerating, is are serious issues concerning lots of people. london appears to be the worse for it at the moment, it is a bigger population, but there is a lot of fear. lots of people are now worried about their kids in particular being out on the streets. there seems to be a proliferation of knives. i don't quite understand why people find the need to carry them. other people are, so you feel the
quote
10:40 pm
need? i think trying to suss out what is going on is very hard if it is part of this very cultish gun culture growing up in certain areas. it isa culture growing up in certain areas. it is a tragedy, the number of young kids doing this and being killed. we will have its enhanced stop and search powers, most people would probably say that it's a good idea, but the reason they were scaled backwards because of a perception that they were targeting a specific socioeconomic group in society disproportionately. and a great explanation of the benefits and why it is done where needed. in the ft, slovakia's voters bring a rare liberal when in central europe. this is an environmental lawyer who has let not quite in the same vein as the ukrainian comedian...” has let not quite in the same vein as the ukrainian comedian... i think he needs to be spoken about as well. we are chilled she has little
10:41 pm
political experience. at a time where there seems to be more and more. . . where there seems to be more and more... right—wing... where there seems to be more and more... right-wing. .. there was an investigative journalist in slovakia who was anti—corruption, nurtured by what some felt was a government inspired hits, she has tapped into a wave of revulsion at this merger —— murderand is wave of revulsion at this merger —— murder and is the president of slovakia, taking a virgin the 15th. there is talk government we try to block her power, she is very much in favour of lgbtq block her power, she is very much in favour of lg btq rights... block her power, she is very much in favour of lgbtq rights... at the moment there is no facility for gay marriage or anything in slovakia. she has really taken a rather divergent and unexpected position. younger people in all of these countries are much more open—minded. many of the governments that have taken over don't many of the governments that have ta ken over don't really many of the governments that have taken over don't really touch macro
10:42 pm
they have an open mind when it comes to all of this, it is fantastic. viktor orban, the guerin prime minister, he is against her, there isa minister, he is against her, there is a 10% agrarian minority in slovakia but she has won that as well. the final story, sicobo's mea culpa fails. mark zuckerberg has been reluctant to let that is not a word i would use. he says that governments to intervene to police internet. i was at his headquarters two months ago, and nick clegg, who is being paid large amounts by sicobo, came to address us in this rather popish way and said that, governments should be regulating. i said to him, you know very well that facebook is bigger and stronger than any single government in the world. device as consumers don't we rely on
10:43 pm
citizens —— device as consumers don't we rely on citizens -- don't we as consumers and citizens rely on governments? you can't expect a social media company to pass a law but you can expect that to have responsibility. it is interesting that sicobo campus article on the washington post, and oi'i article on the washington post, and on his own facebook page, the areas that need to be regulated privacy, election integrity... all the things they have been doing wrong. go blow some people would say that is a bit rich! and you are extremely rich. this year arrogance, it is you large... and regulation looks like it might be coming. that is why nick
10:44 pm
clegg is there, he is very good in europe and all this. that is it for the papers this hour. operation stack in evidence, and we are nowhere near kent. martin and yasmin will be back at 11.30 for another look at the papers. next on bbc news, it's click. 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 2nd is world autism awareness day, which aims to help us all to understand more about the challenges faced by people
10:45 pm
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, 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.
10:46 pm
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. 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
10:47 pm
to teach them, so that's why the vr came in. and actually 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 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.
10:48 pm
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 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 —
10:49 pm
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 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 home just fine. but there's a bigger part of my head that's banging pots and pans, screaming "you failed!
10:50 pm
"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, 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
10:51 pm
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. 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.
10:52 pm
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 oprah, 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. oprah 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. 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
10:53 pm
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. 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.
10:54 pm
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? 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.
10:55 pm
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 oneplus 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. 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.
10:56 pm
hello. we have some big changes in the week ahead, but for the time being the weather is relatively quiet. quite a bit of cloud across wales and west in western england at the moment, through the night it is pulled across the irish sea and will thicken in northern ireland, bringing patchy outbreaks. otherwise dry, and weather keep the dry spells longest, particularly in eastern areas, cold with prost in rural areas. high pressure slowly slips away to the continent on monday to allow the cold front to the west, bringing outbreaks of rain to northern ireland in western scotland, with rain turning steady and heavy late in the day. eastern scotland,
10:57 pm
england and wales, largely with sunshine. although it may be april the 1st, don't be full to buy the rising temperatures in the south, it will get colder in the week ahead. rain or showers around, very u nsettled rain or showers around, very unsettled looking, cold enough to see snow over the hills at times. that is your weather.
