10:31 pm
hello, and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me arejoe twyman — co—founder and director of delta poll — and yasmin alibhai—brown, the author and journalist. many of tomorrow's front pages are already in. we'll start with the sunday telegraph — it carries an interview with borisjohnson, the frontrunner in the tory leaderership contests, in which he warns he's "not bluffing" about delivering a no—deal brexit on the 31st of october. the sunday express insists post—brexit trade deals, around the world, will be ready to go under boris johnson. according to the sunday times, jeremy corbyn has been plunged into a fresh crisis after his closest allies turned on him, insisting that he sack his top aides. the observer claims that the home office has a secret plan to use homelessness charities, to help deport non—uk rough sleepers.
10:32 pm
and the mail on sunday says it's seen memos from britain's ambassador to washington, in which he describes president trump as "inept" and "incompetent".so, a varied set of front pages — but with politics clearly dominating, let's see what our reviewers make of it all. starting with the mail on sunday, reporting on memos which the bbc have not seen. this is from the journalist isabel oakeshott who has acquired memos, secret cables, diplomatic cables, communications that ambassadors have with whitehall and downing street. they are from britain's ambassador in washington, describing donald trump as inept, insecure, incompetent, ido describing donald trump as inept,
10:33 pm
insecure, incompetent, i do think they place the special relationship in trouble. but a conflict are described within trompe's white house, described as a knife fights, says that donald trump could be indebted to dodgy russians, claims his economic policies could wreck the world trade system and says the scandal hit presidency could crash and burn. it is incredible, incredibly undiplomatic language. from a diplomat. but he would have expected that these remain secret and now they are all over four pages of the sunday paper. that is what diplomats do. secret mazive are different from public statements. that is diplomacy. it is quite a coup. because donald trump is so thin—skinned, i think this idea of the special relationship and our wonderful new trade deal and
10:34 pm
chlorinated chicken and all of that will be under pressure, because he finds it quite hard, even to be mildly criticised, add this, he will declare that an enemy within his midst, won't he? it will either be com pletely midst, won't he? it will either be completely ignored or he will explode. it be one of the other. i imagine this will not be a minor thing. it makes you wonder how the mail got hold of this. isabel is a strong brexit, so there is a... i wonder what is behind this whole thing. this is good old-fashioned scoop. i think that is the point. i very much doubt there is anything more to it than that. you don't know the dirty world ofjournalism. more to it than that. you don't know the dirty world of journalism. she linked the cameron... a lot of these
10:35 pm
allegations are not proved, but... she has a brexiteer, so it doesn't help the brexit because at the moment to be annoying mr trump. exactly, why would that come into her thinking? if it was going to endanger brexit. that is all i'm thinking. i figured as a good story. it isa thinking. i figured as a good story. it is a good story. on the subject of brexit, i am not bluffing on no deal, warns boris. boris johnson, she has not bluffing, you know, he says so because he has written it down. we know that brexit is massively important in the tory party contest. if this had been a contest between michael gove and borisjohnson, things contest between michael gove and boris johnson, things could contest between michael gove and borisjohnson, things could have been very different. michael gove could have positioned himself as the person to say, i am the true believer in brexit, boris is the fair weather supporter. but now it is with jeremy hunt fair weather supporter. but now it is withjeremy hunt and so boris johnson positions himself as the true brexiteer, jeremy hunt is the
10:36 pm
person who voted for remain and supported remain, knowing that is all—important to supported remain, knowing that is all—importa nt to that supported remain, knowing that is all—important to that small constituency of 160,000 conservative members. it is in the paper which has most promoted him for which he writes, and therefore one must expect some bias. yes, it is boris johnson getting across precisely the message that he was to get across. because he wants to make it clear that no deal is an option. one of his criticisms of the negotiations up his criticisms of the negotiations up until this point has been that in ruling out no deal, britain has negotiated with one if not two hands behind, tied behind its back. he is seeing he is serious, this is something he is committed to a debt has to be taken seriously. the question is, can he carry notjust the conserved of party members but longer term if he does become prime minister as expected, can he carry the country and parliament to support him? this is one dot on the
10:37 pm
list, but i want to mention that in the independent that there is this poll which you can trust or not, but i find it interesting. poll which you can trust or not, but ifind it interesting. in poll which you can trust or not, but i find it interesting. in my view i think it is interesting. it says that voters according to this poll would rather have a final say than crash out. and that no deal is not a flyer in the general population. this is not the first time these findings have emerged. you might findings have emerged. you might find it difficult. but can you even trust him when he is saying there's? this is the pool, what are your thoughts on it? chose one of the margin of error is taken into account that no deal had a hard brexit are very closely aligned, which is what all of the polling has shown. it doesn't matter whether it isa shown. it doesn't matter whether it is a full range of options, the most popular option that come out are either revoking article 50 entirely area hard either revoking article 50 entirely are a hard brexit. that demonstrates the difficulty that boris johnson has because when you give a full
10:38 pm
range of options, those extreme options do not get the support of more than about a third of the public each. but they are level with one another. the problem with all of this plaster is that the other 27 countries, they have to agree with whatever is decided if it is ever going to be renegotiated. you is he talking to? because most people accept that it is his to lose. 106,000 conservative party members who just need to be reminded 106,000 conservative party members whojust need to be reminded on a roughly weekly basis that he is the person who can deliver brexit. and i think it is pretty... will have a primer stuff posted up on us by this tiny sliver of the population. —— we will have a prime minister foisted upon us. the sunday times, going to labour, civil war rips apart captive corbyn‘s team. labour, civil war rips apart captive corbyn's team. i think the labour party is becoming under corbyn, and
10:39 pm
lam party is becoming under corbyn, and iamof party is becoming under corbyn, and i am of the left and a labour party supporter, i am so disgusted with the way the leadership and the insiders who keep, prop up corbyn have acted. they have not acted like so have acted. they have not acted like so many in the tory party in the national interest. it is interesting, diane abbott and john mcdonnell have now started quite publicly expressed opinion which one would not expect. i think the frustration level is so high. not expected why? they were so close, but now the power is in the hands of unelected advisers upon whom he has become overly reliant. these are not people, i don't think these people understand the mood of the country. ijust find it extraordinary that a political moment like theirs, the opposition is a mess. this comes in the wake ofjeremy corbyn having
10:40 pm
extremely low ratings in polls this week, the labour party having some of its lowest ratings it has had in recent yea rs. of its lowest ratings it has had in recent years. but it also comes on the back of continual accusations around anti—semitism and around bullying. these accusations, whether true or not, there are lots of people are labour who argue that they are not at that this is being blown out of proportion, but it doesn't change the fact that weekend, week out these sorts of stories resurface. whether it is diane abbott and john mcdonnell arguing withjeremy corbyn over europe, a second referendum, or over whether he is being held captive by these advisers, this is an indication once again that labour is not united and we know that if there is one thing voters are looking for, it has parties who are united and they are not getting that from labour at their not getting it from the conservatives. interesting here,
10:41 pm
it is decided times, debited leader tom watson reportedly is plotting a coup against corbyn.|j tom watson reportedly is plotting a coup against corbyn. i love this comes off the back of the former head of the british intelligence, he says there is a political nervous breakdown. it is notjust tories, it is labour... the country is in a mess. i am is labour... the country is in a mess. lam having is labour... the country is in a mess. i am having a is labour... the country is in a mess. lam having a nervous breakdown, i don't know about you.|j am breakdown, i don't know about you.” am have the time of my life. love turning to the independent next. —— laughter turning to the independent. there is no way i'm getting back to the tube, let's have fun at micro one. it was an incredible event. half a million more people they are than last year. it was significant because it was the 50th anniversary of the stone worldwide. what is it
10:42 pm
like being in the middle of everybody, the celebrations, it is so everybody, the celebrations, it is so colourful, the feeling. so most letter, face paint. but there is also a lot of happiness, and a lot of pride. —— so much glitter. you can feel it when you are they are. it feels to me like an extremely friendly, actually relaxed atmosphere. there are people, everyone, so atmosphere. there are people, everyone, so many people. so many muslim gays. i want to remind people of that. because there is this terrible dispute going on among some muslim parents in birmingham, and they are not accepting gay people as equals. they want equality. as a muslim i speak incredibly, i am angry. so many reasons out on the 95v angry. so many reasons out on the gay march, which is fantastic. there we re gay march, which is fantastic. there were actually lots of minority gay
10:43 pm
groups who were what walking. a groups who were what walking. a groupi groups who were what walking. a group i saw were marching from african countries, waving african flags. it is the best thing we have in this country. and it is so recent that we went from real horrible discrimination and hatred to where we are now. it really makes me proud to be british. let's turn to the sunday express. another great british tradition, the royalfamily. fantastic. oh, that look.” british tradition, the royalfamily. fantastic. oh, that look. i am really trying to hide it. i am just disappointed. i have looked into theirs, and a baby because archie has been christened. he has two pa rents, has been christened. he has two parents, neither of which are pictured in the picture. i think in all seriousness, i think this is a private event, it has always been a private event, it has always been a private event, it has always been a private event, not just private event, it has always been a private event, notjust for meghan and harry's child, but for kate and
10:44 pm
william's children. the accusations of secrecy to easily represented as privity, and i think the baby looks fine, likea privity, and i think the baby looks fine, like a baby, well done. i don't know what it is the sunday express has... sorry, i am a republican and i think... a baby. i wish them all well. love good point, good place to end. that's it for the papers this hour. yasmin alibhai—brown and joe twyman will be back at 11:30 for another look at the papers, and don't forget you can see the front pages of the papers online on the bbc news website. it's all there for you — seven days a week at bbc.co.uk/papers — and if you miss the programme any evening you can watch it later on bbc iplayer. thank you, yasmin alibhai—brown and joe twyman.
10:45 pm
next on bbc news it's click. a warm welcome to click. welcome to click. welcome to click, i am spencer kelly. finally we have reached a very special milestone. we have been on air every week of every year, without a break, since we launched in the year 2000, which means this week you are watching season 1, episode 1000. and to celebrate, we are
10:46 pm
making a world first. doing new things is in our dna. i am floating on air. which is why we don't just show you the tech, we use the tech to push the boundaries of what's possible on tv. here is the team. it is marc on camera one and two, simon on camera three and four, jen on five, nima on six and seven, ben on eight and this is thalia on nine. this was the world's first full tv programme to be filmed and edited only on mobile devices. fyi, it was a nightmare. this week's click has been filmed entirely in 360 degrees. this was another world first, where we reinvented how tv was made, for an audience that could look in any direction at any time.
10:47 pm
and this week, for click 1000, we have really gone for it. do i explore the cave, or do i look behind the tree? i'll explore the cave. so turn to page 8a. this is how i spent a lot of my childhood, reading books where i could choose my own adventure, where at every point, i got to decide what happened next, and every time i read it, the story changed. i absolutely loved them. not only was i in a different world, but because i was in charge of the story, that story came to life. it felt so real. come on then, spen.
10:48 pm
so, after choose your own adventure books, came computer adventure games, first with text, and then with amazing graphics. but both would let me explore vast worlds, bigger than any book. the problem is tv doesn't let us do that. it tells one story, it makes one set of choices, and we just sit back and watch. until now. i demand freedom! imagine if everything that you watched was interactive, and if you could change your experiences depending on your mood, your desires, or even how much time you had. if you go online at the address that's on—screen now, you will find a special version of this programme that is interactive. you get to choose which tech stories you hear about, and in how much detail. as you watch, you'll be given options to dive deeper,
10:49 pm
or maybe to look at things from a different perspective, or maybe to skip one entirely. the technology used to make this possible is known as object based media, or obm, and it could be the future of how we watch video content. broadcasters have been developing the tech for years now. bbc r&d has explored the concept with various online tutorials. the step by step nature of obm is particularly useful there. netflix has had a dabble with its puss in boots, and more recently, with charlie brooker‘s interactive bandersnatch. and now, premiering the bbc‘s first ever obm tv show is us. to say it's been a tricky, brain—melting minefield would be an understatement. it's a little bit like trying to pick up ants from space using tweezers with a blindfold on. these are all the plans that we've made to figure out how we're
10:50 pm
going to structure this episode. doing obm is really different because you have to think of the story in different ways, because people might have seen other bits of the story, they might have chosen different path through the story. i have been told to create 700 million versions. it has taken more brainpower than any episode i have ever worked on, and more teamwork, to get the thing out there. trust me, we're not talking to each other the moment. what does that stand for? wizard. but we couldn't have done it without r&d‘s otherworldly expertise. matthew and his team have been devising an obm strategy for the last few years. a couple of years ago we decided we wanted to try and transfer this capability to create this stuff. we were busy engineering it, but we didn't have any tools. so we decided to build a story kit, essentially. custom—made software can handle
10:51 pm
hundreds of pieces of content, like video, audio and text, and put them together on the fly, as viewers make their choices. so it's a tool that is aimed at producers who have no hot software development skills, so the whole idea was to allow these people to then easily use an interface like a drag—and—drop interface like story former, to create those experiences. all in all, we think we have 148 different chunks of video, which to my mind makes about a gazillion different paths through the content. also tons of footage, and we've used up every hard drive that we have. i suppose it's been keeping me up at night, thinking are we going to get it finished in time? it really has been a challenging process. there's been times when i had to dojust like... but we think, we really think, it's been worth it. putting you in the driving seat will mean, hopefully, you at home can enjoy the show more than ever before more.
10:52 pm
at the core of being able to give you all these choices is the idea of branching narratives, possible options that lead onto the next bit, or reroute you to a park where the story can flow from there. to get advice on how to create a multiple—choice click, i went to create one of the creators of the fighting fantasy books i grew up with, ian livingstone. it involves writing multiple storylines at once. and how i used to do it was create a map, on which i kept a record of all the encounters as you went through the adventure. it's giving you a choice like do you want to turn left or right, which is a simple choice, or do you want to try and tiptoe past the sleeping goblin or attack him with your sword. and the choices are quite varied. so when i'm writing i have to keep a record of where the reader would go. so if you make this choice, i need to make sure that they can actually get out of there, and then these are all the encounters. they find gold, they find treasure,
10:53 pm
they find magical items. can i show you our version of an adventure map? this is the layout of this actual interview, which is multichoice. what do you think? minimalist. not too many options, so we should be done in less than four hours. because it can take you days to get through a fighting fantasy game book. good luck on your adventure. that was ian livingstone talking to one of his biggest fanboys. now, currently, normaltv doesn't allow us to show you a fully interactive programme, so to give you a feel of what click obm will be like when you watch it online, we've added a dash of it to this week's tech news. you will see some options pop up on screen. you won't be able to click them, we will do that for you. but it should give you an idea of what to expect. here is lara. hello and welcome
10:54 pm
to the week in tech. this week, the church of england issued its first guidelines for social media users. its release came the same time as the archbishop of canterbury streamed his own live video. nearly a decade ago, alphabet, the company that owns google, announced its balloon spin out, loon. this promised floating masts which would deliver 4g services to the world's most remote places. it is now planning to launch its own trial with african telecom. loon's balloons are each the size of a tennis court, but they need to be as they are filled with enough helium to keep them afloat while carrying solar powered networking gear. this robot there is quite aptly called huggable. —— robot — — robot bear. the new trial suggests it
10:55 pm
could help poorly children feel better in hospital. more than 50 sick kids took part in the study with mit media lab, northeastern university and boston children's hospital. the hi—tech toy not only brought out more smiles, but also got the kids out of bed to be more active too. huggable is far from the only cute robot on the block, though. in europe, this little robot even goes to school for sick children. this means they can virtually attend classes and play with their friends. and finally, an american artist has built robotic arms to let you poke, inflate and generally play around with famous paintings. neil mendoza's mechanical masterpieces is displayed at the children's museum of pittsburgh. that's it. that is the short version of click but check out the long version this week.
