hello. this is bbc news with chris rogers. we'll be taking a look at tomorrow mornings papers in a moment with penny smith and bonnie greer — first the headlines.

some political drama in australia. australian prime minister, scott morrison, claims victory for his centre—right coalition government, in a shock result at the country's federal polls. tonight is not about me or it's not about even the liberal party. tonight is about every single australian who depends on their government to put them first. the shadow brexit secretary, sir keir starmer, says to break the brexit impasse, the government should commit to another referendum in the withdrawal agreement bill. the austrian chancellor calls a snap election, hours after his far—right deputy resigns over corruption allegations. manchester city storm to victory in the fa cup final — thrashing watford 6—0 to complete a historic domestic treble.

hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are columnist at the new european, bonnie greer and the broadcaster and novelist, penny smith. are you a novelist as well? the observer's front page talks of labour's fears that the party's ambiguous stance on brexit could hand votes to the lib dems in the upcoming european elections. sunday times says tory heavyweights are calling for a return to the "centre ground" in party politics. with michael heseltine saying he won't vote for the conservatives

because of the party's position on brexit. the sunday telegraph claims theresa may blocked ministers from proposing a new law that could have protected northern ireland veterans from facing murder charges from the troubles. and the sunday express says britain believes nigel farage is best placed to lead brexit negotiations, according to a poll done for the paper. let's have a look at the observer. labour mps fear their stance on brexit will hand votes to the lib dems. what does that headline tell you about the way mps of all parties are thinking? are they thinking about brexit or the party? they are thinking about the party. the reason for this is because labour, they have been trying, endless interviews have been trying, endless interviews have been trying, endless interviews have been done, what about a second

referendum? have been done, what about a second referendum ? where have been done, what about a second referendum? where do you stand on brexit? nobody really knows. anybody who wants a second referendum or brexit town down so that it is still remain in all but name, they are all going to the lib dems. that is the worry. the lib dems are saying now that vince cable's party is running first place in london and could be labour overall. that is the truth. i have an italian neighbour who picked up have an italian neighbour who picked up labour's leaflet and he said to me, what is this for? is this for the eu elections? where is the information about the eu? i said, why don't you look and find it. he searched and searched and he founded. he said, this is not going to make people understand anything about the eu. i don't know what labour is doing. i am saying this as

a labour supporter and voter. i don't know what they're doing.” don't know what they're doing.” don't know what they're doing.” don't know if you can second—guess the voter. margaret hodge with a similar story, they are all called randys. she is essentially saying even though she has slightly distance herself, she is saying vote tactically, not necessarily for labour. that is what people will do anyway. this is a protest vote. do we need a second referendum? this is the second referendum. we always thought if there was a general election, if parties align themselves with a stand over brexit, people vote in another referendum. legacy parties and this is happening a lot of places, legacy parties like the tories and labour, people are

just tired of them. people just want something different. just tired of them. people just want something differentlj just tired of them. people just want something different. i also think they have lost faith in all political parties and in the political parties and in the political process because there we are, you have got, if you talk to brexit is, they say that. we voted for brexit, the majority voted for brexit but the majority of politicians are anti—brexit. it doesn't feel their wishes are being cut that is how they feel but we have very blurry leadership and partly it is because the leadership is trying to protect their parties. in defence of our politicians, whatever their party is, we have never done brexit before. it is an trodden ground. that was always part of the problem. there has to be some sort of principle. that is what everyone is saying, basically saying

to politicians, what is your principles? protect the party but what do you believe in? people are i'iow what do you believe in? people are now feeling what politicians believe in in relation to this. what do you believe and i think voters really need to know where politicians believe. what they believe is all politicians are out for themselves. whether that is true or not that is how it comes across. people are really asking what do you believe? how it comes across. people are really asking what do you believe ?|j have had some politicians say theresa may has done nothing but put the electorate first and drive brexit through an other saying she doesn't listen to anyone. you don't know who to believe. also, i do think if you are negotiating, you don't take things of the table and whilst there will be so many people saying we can't have a new deal, to ta ke saying we can't have a new deal, to take it off the table does mean you are slightly handicapped when you

are slightly handicapped when you are going in for bargaining. to throw the word democracy around as if it is something that locks down everything, democracy is a process particularly in a referendum. everywhere else have different referendums. but somehow people think that this idea of democracy means once and that the end of it. it isa means once and that the end of it. it is a referendum vote. it is all tied up into people's idea about the country, what they feel and what they feel about politics. white let's move on. theresa may making this headline in the sunday telegraph. revealed how may betrayed vetera ns telegraph. revealed how may betrayed veterans facing prosecution. we have seen a veterans facing prosecution. we have seen a lot of anger over all of this. this is about the statute of limitations and the people who are from the armed forces, for example, you havejohnny mercer who helped

lead the campaign for legal protection for soldiers, saying this letter was a sucker punch. essentially she blocked this new law that could have protected northern ireland veterans from facing murder charges and they are saying this equivocation with those who got up in the morning to murder innocent civilians turns my stomach. it is saying, he is saying you cannot actually apply the same rules to terrorists and two soldiers who were carrying out the actions and the orders of their superiors. of course we have had this discussion in the newsroom. because you are following orders, . .. newsroom. because you are following orders,... that is the nuremberg defence, you can't use that. i understand you don't want to put a terrace and a soldier on the same level but the basic thing is you can't use the nuremberg defence to

defend these. you can't do things because you are following orders and it is appalling that any mp would hold that up as an example to protect a soldier. i do agree with looking at things differently, but certainly not using the nuremberg defence, that is outrageous and it was blown away over 70 years ago. we use it, we don't have the crimes committed in vietnam, the crimes in iraq. there were crimes committed. we cannot allow a soldier on the battlefield to have a statute of limitations if she or he did commit murderand no limitations if she or he did commit murder and no special treatment as faras i'm murder and no special treatment as far as i'm concerned. this other story on the sunday telegraph, brittain's cocaine crisis as use of drug doubles in seven years. you keep seeing cocaine being seized in huge amounts but people are still finding it on the street. they are finding it on the street. they are

finding it on the street. they are finding it on the streets and sewers, that is how they have worked it out how much is being used. what they are saying is, it is a metabolise a drug, it has gone through people. they are saying 200,000 doses of the drug every day in london. they are saying it is the equivalent of more than one in every 50 people taking the drug daily and they are saying it seems to be that it is almost as high during the week as at weekends and london and bristol are up there with barcelona, antwerp, zurich and amsterdam. no one is asking the question why are people taking a lot of coke in london and bristol? that is more interesting to me than the coke. why are those two cities where people are those two cities where people are taking the most? why aren't they asking that? why is it happening there in these two cities? a lot of investigations over the years where they do with the swabs in toilets

come in primary schools, places of work. it is absolutely everywhere. it has always been there. tell me about this, sunday times, flea bag star, i wanted to be a boy. this is from grant tucker, the entertainment correspondent. phoebe waller bridge said she was such a tomboy she would have jumped at the chance to be a boy. i have a transgender woman in my family, very close. and i think this is two macro stories. one, she says she wanted to be a tomboy, that is not a transgender person and suddenly the correspondent goes into this long discussion, that is really wrong. wanting to be a tomboy and being a transgender person, that is

not the same thing. the suggestion is from the correspondent ‘s these two stories are conflated. she is saying she is a tomboy and he goes on and says, if that had happened nowadays, she would have been offered... what is interesting is the number of children has gone up significantly, attending the nhs transgender clinic. that significantly, attending the nhs tra nsgender clinic. that is significantly, attending the nhs transgender clinic. that is a positive thing. absolutely. that children can be taken seriously and it can be dealt with. it was children's bbc won a bafta following one of those children going through that six change, to normalise it in children's lives. as long as they have absolutely been treated so that... this is such a major thing to do, it is such a major thing to do andi to do, it is such a major thing to do and i do worry about how, when i

think about how i was at that age before puberty, i don't think i was clued up. to put tomboy and then go into this story is not the same thing. it is positive children are being listened to. absolutely but this is not the same thing. time to briefly look at kate on a swing seat. what is this about? they are so uncomfortable. apparently one of the papers, it is the chelsea garden show. she is promoting it. on the mail, it is called forest bathing. forest bathing? on a swing?|j mail, it is called forest bathing. forest bathing? on a swing? i can make one of them myself. penny, bonnie, thank you very much for

coming in. thank you to you as well. coming up next is click. artificial intelligence continues to play a bigger and bigger role in our lives so it is no surprise that the barbican summer exhibition charts our perception of computers, intelligence and artificial beings through the ages and through the lens of different cultures. the desire to create artificial life is old, very old. it goes back at least as far

as the legend of the gollum, created from dust or clay and brought to life through incantation. ai: more than human is a celebration and a critical examination of innovation — that's a lot of "ations" — showcasing the works of diverse digital artists and academic institutions around the world. see, in 100 years' time, we will all look like this. how computers perceive us using cameras is an overarching theme here. last week, we covered the uk police's increasing deployment of live facial recognition, from specially—equipped vans to cctv cameras and, in london, we caught an incident when one man refused to be scanned. if i want to cover my face, i cover my face. don't push me out of the way...

the police said this was disorderly behaviour so they gave him a fine. if i want to cover me face, i cover me face. it's not up to them to tell me not to cover me face. i got a £90 fine, here you go, look at that. £90 — thanks lads, £90, well done. and just this week, san francisco has banned law enforcement agencies from using facial recognition. it is a landmark decision in the security versus civil liberties debate surrounding this technology. well, we asked for your feedback and we were inundated with comments and questions. many of you were of the opinion that, if you've got nothing to hide, then there's nothing to worry about and this is another tool to help keep us safe. but some opinions expressed exactly the opposite, that this is another step on the way to a surveillance state. we've asked biometrics expert stephanie hare to answer some of your most prominent questions. stephanie, welcome. one of the questions that was asked the most was whether facial

recognition could work with people who choose to wear face coverings. and in fact, we put this to the police — here's what they said. it is not a problem. it is more of a challenge. the way the technology works, we need to — the starting point is the eyes — the eyes are really important in terms of facial recognition technology. often those eyes are visible. we have face cameras to include motorcycle helmets, so the technology does work with motorcycle helmets as well. i would suggest, operationally, it is not as efficient and effective with face coverings but it is not an impossibility. so stephanie, the police say that facial recognition technology will still work even if the face is partially covered. is that true? some facial recognition technology can indeed identify someonejust using their eyes alone. that would require infrared capability and depth—sensing capability. that exists in your apple iphone x. it does not, to my knowledge, exist in the technology that the police are currently using, which is relying on 2d photographs in a data base,

cctv and other public cameras, which tend to return quite low quality footage, and even body cams — not at the moment. so this technology is very much under development. it illustrates though that it is possible. another question that came up a lot was about facial data and gdpr. now, we has seen some private companies building huge databases of facial data. a lot of people want to know how this can be allowed to happen? it's a great question. so in the show last week you featured a company called facewatch, and facewatch is maintaining its own watch—list of people it thinks are either criminals or suspected criminals, and it's sharing its own privately—gathered watch—list with the police, and then the police are sharing their database with facewatch. and the potential loophole within the gdpr is that the gdpr protects people's biometric data, but makes exceptions for things like national security, fighting fraud and fighting corruption.

stephanie thank you very much for your insights and thank you so much for your comments and questions. don't forget, you can always get in touch with us on twitter. here in the uk, the latest published data suggests that over 60,000 people under the age of 18 went missing in the space of a year. now, while 97% of those come home or are found alive and well, the unimaginably heartbreaking search for the remaining 3% continues. and here too facial recognition could provide an extra bit of hope, as lara has been finding out. this is six—year—old bleona mata. she disappeared from her family home in albania in 2010. and this is how she might look today at 15. after repeated sightings by albanians visiting, she is thought to be in the uk.

in her home country, hers has been a high—profile case so of course all conventional avenues of searching have been pursued, but now amazon's facial recognition software is being tried. it is part of a new system that aims to search the dark web, as well as all websites, to find any pictures that may bear a likeness. the dark web is what could be described as the hidden part of the internet. it provides anonymity to those using it and placing it is difficult. this engine casts its net wide. searching internationally for a likeness. when it gets ahead or receives a reported sighting, a poster is sent to screens in the vicinity, filling otherwise redundant advertising space. the gmc engine is a very basic platform that allows currently 29 countries, law enforcement agencies

and charities, to upload missing child photos and information so on social media, via e—mail, or on twitter. amazon's recognition works by extracting data from the face and representing that as numerical values so then it will do the same again with the other images that its searching for the person in. here we end up with a percentage possibility as to whether it is that same person. we don't actually store the faces, so we store a numerical representation of the faces. we encode that numerically and that is a one—way process. so there is no way to return and generate an image of the face from this numerical vector that we store. we have a customer called marinus analytics in the us that has rescued a 16—year—old girl in northern california that had been trafficked for sexual exploitation. inputting bleona's picture created

no leads on this occasion but the system will continue to search until it is told to stop. yet the pain of not knowing still continues for her family. this is early days for the technology and clearly it can be improved over time. we are looking to connect to other datasets. child sexual abuse material data bases, or perpetrator data bases, sex offenders data bases, or even cctv. if this system has the capacity and it's that easy to input a picture and within seconds it's going to do a search of the whole web, why isn't this being done for every single child who is missing? i think the system has the capacity, it's a matter of capacity in our own team or in policing to make sure that the system is used. at the moment, only our team has access to the gmc engine,

and so we basically need to make sure that our team has access to all the images of the outstanding missing children, say, after three days and then run them through the engine to see if we can find them. as is often the case, the technology existing is just the first step. with the ability to search not just the open internet but also the dark web, this could be the start of something far bigger. and back at the barbican's new exhibition, i'm becoming part of the show. no, this isn't a painting of flowers, but an ai looking at my hand and other objects through a camera. this is a demonstration of how a neural network can only interpret what it sees through a camera based on what you've already taught it, so if you only need a neural network images of waves, it will try and interpret what it can see through this camera in terms of seascapes but if,

for example, you were to only feed it images of fire, then my hands would be interpreted in terms of flames. pretty cool, or should i say, hot. learning how an ai perceives the world is an undercurrent running throughout the exhibition, and, with understanding, comes language. this is the waterfall of meaning, and it examines millions of sentences and looks at the way we use words to try and teach itself whether, for example, beer is expensive or cheap, whether it's bad or good, whether it's male or female. if there is an inherent bias in how we use words, that will show up the results. ai is just revealed the secret part of human so i think that this is a good opportunity to think

about bias, because ai doesn't lie, ai doesn't excuse. ai just reveal everything. so then that's the reason, you know, the bias getting problem. actually, we have the problem already. and that's it for the short cut of click, here at ai: more than human, at the barbican centre, in london. this is alter 3 and it's in no way freaking me out. don't forget the full—length version is available to watch right now on iplayer and you can get in touch with us any time you fancy. we live on instagram, youtube, facebook and twitter. thanks for watching. and i'm just going to step a little bit further away now. bye.

it has been a much cooler day to day across northern ireland and scotland. yesterday in scotland we had temperatures in the low 20s but today those temperatures have been struggling under a thick layer of cloud. we also had outbreaks of rain. further southwards we have seen a number of heavy showers particularly across central and eastern parts of england, some have been quite heavy with the clouds looking like this through the afternoon across parts of oxfordshire. looking at the weather overnight, most of their showers across england and wales will fade away and we are left with the dry weather, clearing skies, if you mist and fog patches. more cloud for northern ireland and scotland where there will continue to be some patches of rain running through. not

a cold night, temperatures six to 10 degrees. sunday will be a cloudy day. the car braking to give a few sunny intervals but heavy showers particularly arriving in the afternoon. for many areas a cloudy start. rain pestering parts of northern ireland and a view showers in western scotland but later in the day we will see those showers grow and become heavy. potentially thundery as well. the lion's share of the showers in scotland in eastern areas and the high ground. some of those slow moving but given a bit more sunshine, temperatures up to 15 or 16 degrees. similar temperatures in northern ireland, then we have baseline of slow downpours across central and eastern areas of england as well. these bringing some hefty downpours later in the day. looking at the weather picture over the next few days, a mixture of sunshine and showers continuing, though showers

slow—moving but later it turns windier and we see low pressure moving into threaten some rain. monday is largely dry. cloud breaking to give some spells of sunshine and some slow—moving showers. some of those will be quite intense. temperatures up a little bit, highs of 70 degrees in edinburgh, 19 in cardiff and 20 in london. showers early in the week but later it will turn brazier with the threat of some rain for some of us.
