6:12 am
come. the government has published a video, showing people how to keep cool video, showing people how to keep cool. and ask for safety announcement on trains in both french and english. but these few days of hot weather and not expect to spark the kind of health crisis france has seen in the past. some accused the government of acting like a nanny state. the warning from across the border, though, he proposes more than one kind of risk. forest fires that began in spain on wednesday was still outpacing emergency crews yesterday. all this sparked by a farm waste left to heat in the scorching sun. carelessness turned to catastrophe in the words of one official. dozens of wildfires have now appeared in the hottest parts of france. in paris, the health minister expressed frustration at those ignoring government advice. this heatwave

6:14 am
temperatures rising but the humidity too. to around about 25— 33 degrees widely across england and wales and we could see 34 in one or two spots but for scotland and northern ireland typically low to mid 20s, not as hot here as it was some showers and could turn fun to be later in the day too. as the rain weaves its way eastward through the course of tonight, it will introduce cooler air behind it so not as muggy in the north—west as it was last night but still towards the south—east, 17 degrees or so will feel fairly uncomfortable for sleeping overnight tonight. through the day tomorrow, if you are not a fan of the heat and humidity, it will feel fresher and a day of some sunshine and one or two showers. the fresher field tomorrow, sunshine and one or two showers. the fresherfield tomorrow, down sunshine and one or two showers. the fresher field tomorrow, down to the fa ct fresher field tomorrow, down to the fact that this cold front is working in so we lose the red colour and back to those yellows and orange, showing it isn't as hot and humid so
6:15 am
there will be some showers rattling in on the westerly breeze, particularly for parts of scotland, northern ireland, much of england and wales should stay dry and sunny, and wales should stay dry and sunny, a few showers working in towards the north—west during the afternoon and still a pleasant feeling day, temperatures above average, up to about 20—25 across england and wales. scotland, northern ireland, 18-21 with wales. scotland, northern ireland, 18—21 with some decent spells of sunshine between any showers. looking ahead to the new working week, not quite as hot, certainly, as it is today. more westerly influence as we moved to monday and tuesday, still some sunshine and temperatures typically around high teens into the low 20s. watch out for those very high humidity levels and high levels of pollen and uv as well and we are likely to see the hottest day of the year so far. back to you. thank you. we will be ready for those thunderstorms when they come. a two day heatwave. it is a quarter past six. the national farmers' union says a trial where seasonal workers
6:16 am
from non—eu countries, like ukraine and moldova, are offered visas to pick crops on ukfarms should be extended from 2,500 workers to 30,000. farmers say it could help fill the gap left by a drop in the number of people coming from the eu. the home office says the pilot will remain under review. here's our business correspondent katy austin. 0n on this farm in cornwall, courgettes are being harvested, up to 20 tons a day. most of them will be sold to supermarkets. for years farms like this one have relied on workers coming overfrom this one have relied on workers coming over from countries this one have relied on workers coming overfrom countries inside the eu like poland or, more recently, bulgaria and romania, to pick their crops. of the past couple of years, though, they're been finding out more and more difficult. now this farm has signed up to a new government scheme which aims to recruit workers from outside the eu. this group is from ukraine. they saw thejobs
6:17 am
this group is from ukraine. they saw the jobs advertised at the agricultural university. translation: is good for us to be here because we can earn money here to buy a flat, to buy a car when we go back home, because in ukraine it's impossible to do. translation: eye came here to earn money so translation: eye came here to earn money so why could buy a business, a little shop with children's clothing and things for new mums. this farmer says the 2500 workers being allowed visas under this year's pilot a badly needed. last year in cornwall and unknowingly rest of the uk there we re and unknowingly rest of the uk there were crops that were harvested because they went on stuff to harvest them. the eu as it is of the last four years has picked up dramatically the economies of these countries are they were not going to be able to get in the future the numbers we need from the eu. so regardless of whether we leave do you still need to bring in extra workers on the seasonal workers pilot scheme. this trial isn't designed to meet farmers split‘ entire staffing needs, but the farmers union says it‘s worked well
6:18 am
and urgently needs expanding. the pilot scheme is going to have to be fit to deliver. a pleading with government that we take the scheme up government that we take the scheme up to 30,000 in 2020 —— government that we take the scheme up to 30,000 in 2020 -- i government that we take the scheme up to 30,000 in 2020 —— i am pleading. so we can ensure it is fit for purpose. the home office told us it will review the two year scheme before deciding what will be done longer term. farmers like david hope workers like these will be able to come back again and again. katy austin, bbc news. now on breakfast, it‘s time for the film review with mark kermode and jane hill. hello and a very warm welcome to the film review on bbc news. and to take

us film review on bbc news. and to take us through this week‘s cinema releases is mark kermode. lovely to see you. lovely to see you. what have you been watching? a big week. yesterday by danny boyle and the writer richard curtis. apollo 11, an extraordinary documentary. and support the girls, a tale of a day in the life at work. and look to away for seven months and you haven‘t given me a horror film to watch this week.” and you haven‘t given me a horror film to watch this week. i no. i am really sorry. you are going soft in your old age. let's start off with yesterday, you must have seen the posters and the trailers. himesh patel is an star making form as jack, who following a global blackout, 12 seconds, he is hit by a bus in the blackout, he is the only person who remembers the beatles, he goes on 6oogle they don‘t exist, they never happened. after initial period of fun material is his u nsuccessful career period of fun material is his unsuccessful career as a singer songwriter and be revitalised by the
6:20 am
fa ct songwriter and be revitalised by the fact he knows this incredible catalogue of songs that 6nabry has heard before. so suddenly he has the best song book in the world in his head and this is the answer, except not everybody recognises genius when they said, not least his parents. there is a clip. it's terry! terry. jack is displaying us a new song. what's this long haul? leave it be. b. # when i by myself in times of trouble... -- when i by myself. hurry up, darling, you're losing the crowd. # when i find myself in times of trouble, mother mary... hello, i am just listening to jack's new song, b. they will call you back when it is over. maybe start after
6:21 am
the first bit. it is let. that went well. i‘d just loved all the way through that. exactly. but in the neighbourhood you love so much during clip as that. here‘s the thing, it is directed by danny boyle but it is written by richard curtis. i a real suckerfor richard curtis anyway. this is, in some the best directed richard curtis film you will ever see. you were literally crying with laughter.|j will ever see. you were literally crying with laughter. i loved out loud in the cinema when i saw the trailer. what is really lovely is it is one of those whatever set ups, what if you were the only person you remember the beatles? they think the film does this, as soon as you start to think about the logistics of it you go hang on, that doesn‘t work. in the third act there is a
6:22 am
particularly problematic sense of the whole of which could have come out and i don‘t care. the reason they don‘t care is i was doing exactly what you were doing. why was laughing and smiling and actually crying pretty much all the way through. i think himesh patel is terrific and it is a star making performance. i think it is one of those films in which you go with it, you absolutely go with it. and i think it‘s got that lovely thing where we all know that richard curtis loves pop music and we know that danny boyle, when you look at his own company understands the way that pop music works in a film. and what this manages to do is to say, look, let‘s just go with this idea. there is a lovely, is not even a cameo, there is a role by ed sheeran playing ed sheeran. cameo, there is a role by ed sheeran playing ed sheeranlj cameo, there is a role by ed sheeran playing ed sheeran. i laughed at that bit! i think he is really funny, because he is really self—deprecating. a lot of people have talked about playing yourself ina cameo have talked about playing yourself in a cameo role is very difficult. 6ordon in a cameo role is very difficult. gordon ramsay famously failing to play 6ordon gordon ramsay famously failing to play gordon ramsay. i thought in this that ed sheeran was actually very funny as this kind of lough
6:23 am
erne a version of himself. but i‘d just laughed and smiled —— afternoon. if you want something that will lift you up and send you out with a spring in your step, this is it. absolutely does what it says on the and i thought it was to mackay loved it. they don‘t care about any of the things that are wrong with it. terrific. we have sold it to anybody watching. talk to us sold it to anybody watching. talk to us about apollo. apollo 11. the 50th anniversary of the meg lanning coming up injuly. this is a documentary about that extraordinary medicine. i‘d talked before about the feature film first man isn‘t really about going to the moon it is about loneliness. this really is about loneliness. this really is about going to the moon. it‘s about about going to the moon. it‘s about a lot of other things as well but it is about going to the moon. we don‘t have modern—day interviews. what it is is it is ——it is archive footage, together in a way that makes you think that you are actually watching this play out as if it is happening now. they don‘t know about you, but
6:24 am
iam now. they don‘t know about you, but i am still in awe of the fact that people went to the moon in what was essentially you accommodating hand. atin can, essentially you accommodating hand. a tin can, yes. --18 can. what this did was remind me of that sense of all. it has a fantastic soundtrack. it is this throbbing synthesiser score that really cranks up the energy. this was as nailbiting as any thrill have seen recently. and we all know how it ends. —— any thriller i have thing. i‘ve spent the whole thing gripping the edge of my seat thinking this is astonishing that this happened in the documentary really put it right there in front of you. i thought it was terrific. apollo 11. and support the girls. yes. you have seen this as well. i thought this was something you would enjoy. this is, when iraq 0bama was doing things, alongside annihilation and eighth 6rade, he chose this —— barack 0bama. it is a drama with comedic
6:25 am
elements about women juggling their home lives working in a place called double whammies. it is a sports bar with curves. it is a dynamite cast. they are people trying to hold down jobs and families and dealing with different things while working in what could easily be a very hostile environment. here is a clip. cani environment. here is a clip. can i am 's, do you get like grab? it happens. like when someone is super wasted or whatever. but it's pretty rare and you can usually tell was a neglect that is coming and just like... let mejust was a neglect that is coming and just like... let me just say this, we have a zero tolerance policy on it. why don‘t my calling the cops if a customer is committing sexual assault. they don‘t have to call far, we have a lot of officers who we re far, we have a lot of officers who were regulars. and officer domingos isa were regulars. and officer domingos is a cutie, i think. but, were regulars. and officer domingos is a cutie, ithink. but, seriously, you will, let me say the important thing is that this is a mainstream place. it is a family place, which
6:26 am
means a lot of families come here. it also means that we are all family. and you‘re not wearing a whole lot of close, but, trust me, if these guys wanted to go to a strip club they know where to find them. they just strip club they know where to find them. theyjust come here so some sweet girls can take some care of them. it is like working at chiles or applebee‘s except it is more fun any tips away better. usually. if you know how to work it.|j any tips away better. usually. if you know how to work it. i think what is good about this as you absolutely believe in their lives. completely. there is a feeling of comradeship and companionship and you get to know each character‘s individual stories as the day plays out. i thought it had that thing that the best cinema has, which is real empathy. it felt like, fine, i understand exactly what this environment is like and it is looking at that from... you have seen looking at that from... you have seen things like this in films like porky‘s. this is looking at it from the point of view of people working. trying to do their best to feed theirfamily. it trying to do their best to feed their family. it is so well
6:27 am
observed. really beautiful. the performances are completely natural. you absolutely buy every single one of the characters. it is a fairly small release but really worth checking out. i thought it was terrific. i thought it was really empathetic and sympathetic. and regina hall, who we see again here, she isjust regina hall, who we see again here, she is just terrific. terrific. regina hall, who we see again here, she isjust terrific. terrific. i thought the whole ensemble cast. i don‘t think there was a wrong put in the whole thing. and it leads to a particularly strong ending. a small release calls upon the girls, well worth checking out. your film of the week? because we have not done this together for a week? because we have not done this togetherfor a while, week? because we have not done this together for a while, have you seen rocket man? yes, it is an assault on the senses. i was kind of exhausted at the end. not in a bad way, but it is so overwhelming visually, but clever visually. brilliantly written by lee hall, and directed by dexter fletcher. this is a proper musical. the kind of thing that can russell
6:28 am
wood have done. did you love it? love would be too strong, actually. there were a lot of things they liked about it. ok. ithought it there were a lot of things they liked about it. ok. i thought it was ambitious trying to fit his entire life into two hours. where was the context? life into two hours. where was the co ntext ? was life into two hours. where was the context? was nothing the aids crisis. except it is very specifically about that part of his life from nothing to start to crisis to everything falling apart. it does with him going into rehab. we need 15 minutes to discuss that. they didn‘t dislike it. 15 minutes to discuss that. they didn't dislike it. give it another go. i've wanted deceit in the evening with a drink and i thought on the day with a cup of tea. evening with a drink and i thought on the day with a cup of tealj thought on the day with a cup of teal thought in the day with a cup of tea. i‘d sit in the middle of the night with anything. streaming, however. this was hard work, i found. fighting with my family? i'm astonished. tell me why. at the end, it is based on a true story, at the end they show the clips from the documentary and i thought this would bea documentary and i thought this would be a really interesting documentary.
6:29 am

like top five. with a legacy of its historic fixture in london is already being felt right across europe so here this week near slough we have about 90 of the elite players from the continent pitching their skills in front of benches packed full of scouts from major—league clubs with their radar guns and their notebooks analysing every stroke to see if they can find the star of the future. for somebody who wants to play major—league baseball, out of europe, today is the best opportunity they have got into thousand 19. we missed out on the legacy from the london olympics so the legacy from the london olympics so in the same stadium for us to have this opportunity that helps us achieve our mission which is to inspire kids to play. keep your head down. and all beginners may be because the basics are simple, three goes to hit the ball, get around the four bases, do it in one it is a homerun. and you have those wheels, you can run. it was really going to register on the radar guns back in

slough, but it is about the players of the future, who will make the day when london became home to a major—league homerun. mike bushell, bbc news near slough. that ball is still going, by the way. still travelling. i wonder that ball is still going, by the way. still travelling. iwonder how many takes that was. please hit it, mike. thank you. time out to get the weather. 6ood morning, serry. 6ood morning, serry. good morning. we have been talking about the ongoing heatwave in europe. france yesterday saw its all—time highs temperature on record. 45.9dc in the south of france. it is not going to be anywhere near as hot as that. we will see the peak of her own mini heatwave. damages today likely to reach 34 degrees. yesterday we had 30 degrees, the hottest day of the

so far —— temperatures. are likely to be that today. yesterday it was scotla nd to be that today. yesterday it was scotland that saw the hottest weather. today it will be central and south—eastern part of england. we see that intense heat, humidity building with a southerly breeze. heavy showers around and thunderstorms for northern ireland, parts of the west of scotland later on, perhaps north—west england as well. damages across england and wales, widely around 25— 35 degrees, a little bit fresher for scotland and northern ireland. heading on into the evening we have some heavy showers and thunderstorms rattling across parts of northern england, scotland, and as they clear away towards the east overnight it will turn a little fresher. a thick lee in the north and the west not as muqqy in the north and the west not as muggy as it was last night. we are still holding on to the heat and humidity tonight in the south—east. overnight lows around 17 degrees or so towards the london region. if you are not a fan of the heat and humidity, you‘ll be pleased to hear that tomorrow be a fresher feeling
6:47 am
day. not a bad day, still some sunshine around. equally, a few showers. that very warm humid air thatis showers. that very warm humid air that is with us today gets squeezed away towards the east as we see this cold front working in from the atlantic. that is going to bring us more of a westley influence to our weather as we head through the day tomorrow. tor note stay dry everywhere. we have a front that will bring a few showers. most of the showers will be a western scotland, northern ireland through the morning, and in the afternoon pushing into parts of northern england as well. but the south and east you are likely to stay gradually during the day. it will be a pleasant feeling day with spells of sunshine, damages above average for the time of year, up to about 25 degrees and the warmer sponsor was the south—east. typically, hietanen isa the south—east. typically, hietanen is a low 205 with scotland and northern ireland full a different feeling day tomorrow —— temperatures. lower pressure in the north—east. that will bring us more ofa north—east. that will bring us more of a north or north—westerly influence to the weather as we headed through the working week. monday into tuesday not as hot but
6:48 am
still above average. things should stay mostly dry, certainly through the course of monday and into tuesday. to be prepared today we have hot weather on the cards. high levels of uv and also pollen. thank you very much. we will come back to you very much. we will come back to you later. we have a doctor coming on later with advice on how to cope with the high temperatures. in the meantime we will have the temperatures at —— headlines at seven o‘clock. before that it is time for click. i want to share with you a fact that i hadn‘t fully understood until i met climate scientist ed hawkins last year. now, i‘d known that our weather
6:49 am
was getting worse and our sea levels were rising, and i‘d known that global warming was happening because we were emitting carbon dioxide and methane into the air at a runaway rate, but what i hadn‘t fully understood is this — simply reducing greenhouse gas emissions will not bring global warming under control. for every ton of c02 that we put into the atmosphere the temperature goes up a little bit more. in order to stop global warming we need to do something very drastic indeed. if we end up in a world where our emissions are net zero, we‘re not increasing the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere any more, then that will stabilise global temperatures at the point at which we do that. but it‘s not realistic. to reduce global temperatures we would need to somehow remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.
6:50 am
now, there are already ways of capturing c02 at source — on its way out of power stations, for example. but this doesn‘t get it all, by any means. what you need is something to pull c02 back out of the air. what you need is something like this. it‘s called the artificial tree. the air passes through these filters, which are made of a very special material because the c02 actually clings to this material as the air passes over it. now, once these filters are saturated with carbon dioxide this whole thing moves down into a container of water where this particular material releases the c02 into the sealed container and then, congratulations, you‘ve captured yourself some c02 from the air. this is the brainchild of klaus lackner, here at the aptly
6:51 am
named negative emissions centre at arizona state university. they realised very early on this was a waste management problem. we are dumping c02 into the atmosphere and it just stays there. so was very clear to me in the early 905 that sometime in the 21st—century we will have to stop emitting. klaus argues that since we are failing to meet our targets for co2 emissions, carbon capture from the air is now unavoidable. and now people are listening, as technology has recently received commercial investment. we have put so much c02 in the air that we actually have to come back. so we call ourselves the center for negative carbon emissions because we are thinking about having a period in this century in which we will have to take 100 ppm back. now, that is more c02 than the world emitted in the 20th century. how many of these do you think we will need?
6:52 am
a lot, a lot. now, these are very small. but go to the size of a shipping container, if you wanted to actually match current emissions you would need 100 million of them. right. now, these are bigger than that. but 100 million sounds like a horribly large number until you start deconstructing it. we build 80 million cars. shanghai harbour is sending out about 30 million full shipping containers every year. and as people around the world started to reach the conclusion that carbon capture is needed, a start—up scene is beginning to grow — with differing approaches. because c02 is everywhere, it doesn‘t really matter where you put your devices. and in iceland, caerix has something very useful — green geothermal power. using this, they claim to be able to capture way more carbon than klaus‘s artificial trees.
6:53 am
and once you‘ve captured the carbon, the next problem is — what are you going to do with it? there are so many r&d projects under way trying to make use of the c02, so that it‘s notjust rubbish, but we can actually make something valuable from it. we can use the c02 to create drinks, beers or soda or whatever. we can also use c02 forfuel production. there are also currently studies ongoing to see if we can somehow use the c02 as a building material. yeah, in the future we may be able to lock c02 into concrete. although the amount of rock we‘d create has been estimated to cover a landmass the size of egypt. and, in fact, to do this any other
6:54 am
way also requires a scale that is pretty unimaginable. you could say we can do it with trees and real forests, and you can calculate if you wanted to do the same 100 million of these units in forests or any agriculture, any photosynthetic systems, you suddenly realise that the land area or the area you need is larger than current agriculture. you know, pastoral lands, fields, everything added, we would need more than that. this is quite a scene. the dancers here are being choreographed by artificial intelligence, which has learned from moves created by a leading choreographer — and it‘s quite something. wayne mc6regor has been running his dance company for 25
6:55 am
years, so has an archive perfect for thejob. wayne is actually here today, but he seems to be focusing on perfecting the moves rather than designing a whole dance. a computer algorithm is analysing hundreds of hours of his dance creations, sparking new personalised routines ready for a show in la next month. so how does he feel seeing what the technology musters up? you see it on the screen and it‘s surprising, it‘s something you‘ve not seen before. you can‘t quite work out how your body can do that and then the dancers in the room have to translate it, they find, they have to look at it and find a way of themselves embodying the physicality. the imagery used could improve over time, but there is also a reason for the imperfections. this has been the creation of the man behind 6oogle cardboard, who greatly values technology as a tool to enhance — not reduce — creativity.
6:56 am
of course the dancer, the choreographer is the artist and the ai is there to stimulate creativity and not to replace it. we display some stick figure just to display the whole output of the algorithm, but we are also making a rendering which is something in between abstraction and the skeleton. and if it was too perfect then it would look like a video and it would be less stimulating for the dancer to be inspired. and as well as the idea of immortalising talent and teaching, there seems to be some other added value. what it‘s doing is supplementing, enhancing, dealing with data in a way that we couldn‘t deal with it, offering us opportunities that we would never be able to see. and so in a way it becomes like an 11th dancer in the studio with you, it‘s a kind of a creative partner rather than one that‘s replacing your kind of creative gifts, if you like. the other thing is, it‘s really important, it‘s about the dialogue between machine and body, between the thinking body
6:57 am
and the thinking machine. so was not ever that we set the system going and just learn the choreography, that‘s not interesting to us. these dancers make every move looks so graceful, so it‘s hard to imagine a bad outcome being created here. but how do they feel about being taught by ai? usually you have wayne come in and he either gives us creative tasks himself, which could be based on anything, it could be a poem, it could be audio inspiration from a track, but to have these really intelligent quick systems that kind of generate movement that then we have to learn from, an a! system, it‘s very different. whatever the google stick men are demonstrating, just take something from it. you know, we don't spend too long analysing. it's really find each other. it's just whatever you see, take something from it. at the moment it doesn‘t understand
6:58 am
momentum and physics and gravity, so it makes us move our bodies in an incredibly different way. you know, we have a typical vocabulary, each and every one of us, that we kind of go into that we try to strive away from, and i think that this helps us do that. so while its early days for this technology and it doesn‘t seem to be making the real—life choreographer redundant, maybe, just maybe, artificial intelligence could push creativity to a whole new level. and that is it for click episode 999. i know! we have been on air every week for over 19 years. and next week is our 1000th programme. to celebrate, when doing something very special. and you‘re all invited. for the first time, rather than us deciding what you watch, you will be in the driving seat.
6:59 am
because for our 1000th episode, the bbc is letting us pioneer a completely new way of making tv. we have created an interactive world of stories for you to explore however you wish. more than a year in the making, from the self driving capital of the world, phoenix, arizona, to magical malawi to meet the inventors using ai and ancient technology to solve everyday problems. combining the production techniques of videogames with that click storytelling that you know and love, you will be able to shape our show. and there will be wizards. we have all worked really hard on this, and we are incredibly proud of the results. we hope you enjoy it too, that‘s next week. 00:59:29,747 --> 2147483052:06:29,589 thanks for watching, 2147483052:06:29,589 --> 4294966103:13:29,430 and we will see you for click 1000.
