10:30 pm
hello. this is bbc news. we'll be taking a look at tomorrow morning's papers in a moment. first, the headlines... hello. this is bbc news. we'll be taking a look at tomorrow morning's papers in a moment. first, the headlines... detectives investigating the death of a police officer have said he died of "multiple injuries", as they were given more time
10:31 pm
to question ten suspects. within an hour of the incident happening, we had arrested ten males, aged between 13 and 30, on suspicion of murder. i can confirm that the males were arrested from a local authority run caravan and mobile home site. a 17—year—old has been charged with the murder of lawyer peter duncan, who was stabbed with a screwdriver in newcastle on wednesday. pro—democracy protesters take to the streets of hong kong once more. they've been supported by thousands of teachers. jeremy corbyn‘s proposal to be installed as a "caretaker" prime minister to prevent a no deal brexit is rejected by another senior conservative mp. and this week's click looks at whether e—scooters are legal, and tests out new fingerprint—based contactless cards. that's after the papers. hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow.
10:32 pm
with me are the broadcaster, lynn faulds wood, and anne ashworth, associate editor of the times. many of tomorrow's front pages are already in. the observer goes with jeremy corbyn‘s plea to mps to back him to stop a no deal brexit. the mail on sunday leads on borisjohnson‘s response to mps who want the pm to rule out a no deal. he's saying that they are undermining the uk's position. the sunday telegraph follows the same theme, saying that downing street is calling mps trying to stop the uk leaving on the 31st of october "dishonest". and the sunday express looks ahead to the prime minsiter‘s tour of european capitals, saying he will warn he is not bluffing when he says the uk will leave with or without a deal. we will kick off with the sunday
10:33 pm
telegraph. running straight seeming to lose patience with the rebels? yes, they have. i wish i could start by saying something jolly on a saturday night but the papers are so depressing! everybody should buy a paper. they are just not inviting you. and the car chain is really lovely. there are always very good. this point about the rebels, calling them dishonest, we are getting into them dishonest, we are getting into the very emotive language and this is before the recess is even over? there is a lot of politics going on and calling them the rebels? the last two weeks when theresa may was trying to get this report, prime ministerjohnson was probably a rebel back then so they are both playing politics and if i was a conspiracy theorist i would think that prime ministerjohnson, pm johnson, i refused to call him boris
10:34 pm
because i believe he is not a very nice man. i think he has always planted out he has always wanted a ha rd planted out he has always wanted a hard brexit or people around him. so he has waited for his time until theresa may had three years having a go at it and he has stepped in and what he wants to happen, i think, is a hard brexit anyway. the sunday telegraph lead is extraordinary because the story focuses on the signing of the eu commencement order to end the role of eu law on october 31. it is accompanied by a picture of stephen barclay signing grantley this commencement order. if you knew nothing about parliamentary procedure you would be baffled by this. i am procedure you would be baffled by this. lam baffled! this story
10:35 pm
procedure you would be baffled by this. i am baffled! this story does not make it clear as to whether it is supposed to be at totemic moment which would be seen as hugely symbolic if you are pro brexit but it also seems that this could be reversed and we are in a situation where the mudslinging and insults have started and threats from either side. and the prime minister apparently is determined just to stand down any kind of opposition to leaving on october 31. with or without any deal. if you are lead —— are reading these stories on your holidays you would be flummoxed! as to what exactly is going on back home. that pictured out the brexit secretary signing this order to end the supremacy of eu law, it was often said during the campaign that the desire is to restore parliamentary sovereignty to make the eu -- uk
10:36 pm
parliamentary sovereignty to make the eu —— uk parliament is sovereign and the mps are flexing their muscles and it is uncomfortable for downing street when the mps talk about scuppering boris johnson's aims as prime minister to leave come what may at the end of october. we continue to be split and the parties are split on the conservatives are run by the right—wing and labour is run by the right—wing and labour is run by the left wing. everybody is split. goodness only knows how this will end. inks are getting to a new level ahead of the next eu summit in biarritz in a week. it is very clear that borisjohnson biarritz in a week. it is very clear that boris johnson and those surrounding him are setting out their stall that they are not going to have any opposition to the plans and they won the rebels, including philip hammond, the former chancellor, remember, not so long ago, that they will brook no resistance. as to whether it was rebels who are called the gaukeward
10:37 pm
squad are sufficiently united to be able to mount any kind of decent resistance... if you are interested in politics, this is massively compelling. christmas come early! but the average reader?” compelling. christmas come early! but the average reader? i am not so sure. if you are lying in bed on a sunday morning, i'm not sure that will excite you. lying on a bed on sunday morning! we know that people read newspapers very carefully when they are away but they will be thinking, what is happening? and i wa nt to thinking, what is happening? and i want to move on from the battle of the prime ministerfaces want to move on from the battle of the prime minister faces at home because he is taking the fight to the european capitals, as per the sunday express front page. and warning, some might say threatening, other leaders that if they don't back down and offered a better deal,
10:38 pm
as you would describe it, they risk making an historic mistake. they might risk making an historic mistake but he should really come out and tell us what kind of cards he has got that he can place before then because surely they would have been placed before them in the last few yea rs ? been placed before them in the last few years? he is hoping that the europeans will say, we repent, we are sorry we did not give you a deal before and we will now give you a better deal. it is not going to happen! not in 75 days! is this tour are going to achieve anything? he has to. i am just confused as to what a strategy should be. he is throwing down the gauntlet to these people and surely he should be building bridges because if he truly believes that it is a democratic wish of the british people to leave the eu, he has to facilitate that in such a way that we are able to have some sort of relationship with this great trading bloc. he would say
10:39 pm
that his predecessor tried that and it resulted in a deal that failed to get through parliament three times? but he is the new kid on the block. surely he has some answers? surely he has a strategy? i would quite like some clarity and it is difficult to see exactly what any of these people posturing on the stage actually really want from all this noise and sound and fury. they are split. i am as flummoxed as everybody else and i don't know how this will end. if he thinks he can pull this out on october 31 without anyone trying to stop him, he is deluded. and unfortunately, we are still in the biggest shambles that we have been in for the past three yea rs. we have been in for the past three years. and the clock is ticking down. even solutions, potential
10:40 pm
solutions that emerge, the observer is touching on this. jeremy corbyn would say, come the hour, come the ban, putting himself forward as i would be caretaker prime minister but this article on the observer, the wording, he is pleading with mps. and this looks ever increasingly less likely to happen. it is so divisive. if you were pleading with lots of people to join you, would you not talk to them first and try to get them on your side? he has sent out a letter which cut the leader of the lib dems, jill swinson, she was not expecting that, saying that i am going... i am the best person to lead this national unity party. her immediate reaction was, we don't think you should do
10:41 pm
it. they have ken clarke and harriet harman instead to lead this parliament. but he did not do that. it seems to me he is as confrontational as boris in this anti—also... he confrontational as boris in this anti—also. .. he is confrontational as boris in this anti—also... he is not romania, we know he is quite in favour of brexit. and also when he was a refusenik in the labour party he voted with the conservatives over 400 times. thank you to twitter for telling me that! if you want people to do something, you have to get together with the and convince them but instead he says i am the only person who can do this. it was not so person who can do this. it was not so much the idea but the execution of it that has let things down?|j think they had a very good manifesto but whenever people are asked in an opinion poll whetherjeremy corbyn
10:42 pm
is the man that is going to lead this country to salvation from all of this, he doesn't get the votes. why won't the tory rebels put jeremy corbyn into number 10? supposedly temporarily. and then allow themselves to be the people who allow him to stay there? however strongly they might feel about whatever boris johnson is strongly they might feel about whatever borisjohnson is planning, they are not going to putjeremy corbyn into number 10. they are not going to putjeremy corbyn into number10. let us park brexit. i want to stay with the observer, interest, police halting trials of facial recognition systems, very much in the news around the use of facial recognition around the use of facial recognition around king's cross station by private developers but this is the police halting trials. this is one of these bits of technology that has advanced far more quickly than it has gained acceptance. if people
10:43 pm
actually want you think about this, it would probably instinctively decide that the idea that everywhere you go, a technology is watching you, in such a way that you could be identified, you have no idea of how all those records of that are kept and how the video, where is it stored? who and how the video, where is it stored ? who has and how the video, where is it stored? who has got access? it seems as if the police are thinking, let us as if the police are thinking, let us stop and think about whether this would be actually democratically acceptable? because it came as a great shock during the week when this massive development around king's cross admitted to using this system. a private development. i think even the law—abiding find all of this time of thing very troubling. it's a situation where the internet of things, the gadgets in our homes, are constantly linked to the internet, we do not know
10:44 pm
where all that information is being used and i think it is probably a good moment to stop and think about this and the police have sensibly done so. if you are talking about anything other than brexit we would engage with this because it is very important and! engage with this because it is very important and i do neighbourhood watch in my area and a lot of people have cameras in their homes and there are people trying to burgle their houses at four o'clock in the morning and they have pictures of them. what do you do with those pictures? in fact, the police believe that in time, they can manage to get a fix on these people. but we need to have that debate first so we do not turn the public off at a very early stage when actually some of this is quite a good idea. some of it might be a good idea. some of it might be a goodidea good idea. some of it might be a good idea but we need the public buying into this. the law is playing catch—up with technology. back to the sunday telegraph. this science story. at pig heart transplant?”
10:45 pm
the sunday telegraph. this science story. at pig heart transplant? i am very interested in this because my niece has a kidney transplant and she has lupus and another condition. and kidneys don't last forever, she isa and kidneys don't last forever, she is a woman who is managing her kidney fantastically. but it is 14 yea rs kidney fantastically. but it is 14 years old. to have coming through, later this year, the first pig to human kidney transport —— transplant can happen. it says kidney here. the heart is trickier. my brother—in—law gave his kidney to his daughter. somebody can give you a kidney. and still have a perfectly functioning other one, you only have one heart and there are 280 people waiting on the transplant list for hearts and it is tricky, kidneys are not easy. the whole thing is difficult. but it is so important that we actually find solutions for these people.
10:46 pm
ido i do not want to be the person who takes the role of saying stop and listen, but with their not be some resistance to this, into the use of animals in this way, at a time when we are becoming more aware of the rights of animals? it is an important issue to raise. i am afraid we are out of time. that's it for the papers this hour. lynne faulds wood and anne ashworth will be back at half—past ii for another look at the front pages. thank you, anne and lynne. next on bbc news, it's click.
10:47 pm
here's something that splits opinion, you either love these or you hate them, depending really on whether you ride one, or whether you've had a close encounter with one. these e—scooters are powered by electric motors and that leads to something really interesting that not many people know. in the uk, these things are not legal on public roads and they are not legal on public pavements. so, although they're getting more and more popular, and companies are hiring them out to ride on private lands like here at the queen elizabeth olympic park in london, where they're geofenced and speed—limited, the law varies hugely around the world. one of the issues is that these things can reach speeds of over 30 miles an hour, which is very cool, but also very dangerous,
10:48 pm
again, depending on your experiences with them. not long ago, presenter emily hartridge died while riding an e—scooter. it was the first fatal collision involving one in britain. there have been similarfatal cases around europe. in france, there have been three e—scooter deaths in the last four months, and there have even been deaths in los angeles where these are completely legal. so, whether it's e—scooters, segways, one—wheelers or e—skateboards, there's a lot of confusion over the legality of these new modes of transport. omar mehtab has been finding out. here, at one of the busiest intersections in london, the metropolitan police are on the lookout for electrically—powered scooters. these eco—friendly and easy to ride vehicles have exploded in popularity
10:49 pm
and are rapidly transforming the make—up of road traffic in cities around the world. however, as spencer pointed out earlier, with e—scooters freely available to buy in stores, many people don't know that they're actually illegal to ride on public streets. when i bought it online they should have told us that they are illegal to ride here. i mean, ijust spent £500 for nothing, basically. the problem is, these e—scooters are electrically powered, so they're classed as motor vehicles, which means you can't ride them on pavements or in bike lanes. and to ride them on roads, you need insurance, licensing, tax. things you can't get for light e—vehicles at the moment. and if you get caught? well, in the uk, you could get up to six penalty points on your driving licence and a fine of up to £300. stops today were just about education, about letting them know you can't ride these things
10:50 pm
on the road, you can't use these things on the road. recently, just down the road, there on rosemary avenue, there was a fail—to—stop collision involving an e—scooter and a i25cc scooter. i think it sends out the message that this needs to stop and the vehicles can only be used on private property or land. but there's some confusion in the uk. the law states that personal transport devices powered by motors are prohibited for use on roads, pavements and cycle lanes. however, in the different categories listed, they don't specifically mention e—skateboards, and that is catching some people out. this man was stopped by the police on his way to work, given a written warning, and while he got away without the hefty fine, he was informed that his e—skateboad was illegal to ride. all the information i can find
10:51 pm
is that this one is not illegal, like the electric skateboard is in the grey area, kind of, there's not really legislation that actually bans it. until today, you know? and the police told me and i was like what? very upset. i said i bought this, it cost me a lot of money, i've been riding it for nearly five months now, no issues at all, no accident, no issues. and now from tomorrow, i think from this afternoon, i have to take underground, exactly. there will be queries with regards to e—skateboards as well as e—scooters and other types of powered transport but we recognised there was a growing trend with the use of e—scooters around london and awareness that people weren't necessarily educated to the fact that they are illegal to use on the roads and footpaths. so we have issued a number fines and also seized some e—scooters, but we are maintaining that message that we would like to educate the public first and foremost and sort of spread that message wide that they are actually illegal to ride on roads, on the pavement or in cycle lanes. we contacted the department for transport and they told us
10:52 pm
they are actively examining how these light e—vehicles can be regulated for safe use on the roads. but, for now, they are still illegal. so, this is michael. he's the one who first introduced me to e—skateboards and he is a part of the community. so, that is the official line of the met, they're illegal to use on the roads and pavements. what do you think of that? i mean, they're not wrong. as a mechanically—propelled vehicle they are illegal on the road because we don't have things like insurance or licences for these devices. the problem is, there is no legislation at the moment for that, so we can't get insurance, we can't get licences, and at the exponential rate the boards are being used, legislation needs to be put in place so we can get insurance. it's not like we don't want to, it's just that we can't. if we can legally ride on the roads with every other road user, whatever the cost, if it's legal, i'd say go for it. right. michael, thanks a lot for chatting with me.
10:53 pm
appreciate it. now, this is the bbc, it's private land. so, i'm out of here! right, let's talk money now, or more specifically, plastic. now, the last time technology touched one of these things was more than ten years ago when they made them contactless. wave—and—pay uses nfc or near field communication technology and it's really convenient, but not exactly secure. not if you have your wallet nicked. anyway, that's why they limit contactless payments to £30 or roughly the equivalent in other currencies. but that limit could be extended by quite a chunk if a new security feature is added. dan simmons has been invited to test the uk's first debit card that can read your fingerprint. it's a big moment in the world of money. natwest and rbs are launching this — although the real—life ones will probably be smaller. and they should help wave goodbye to fraud.
10:54 pm
what we're learning from customers is they want experiences to be simple and easy. this means they don't have to remember their pin, it means from a safety and security perspective, they don't have to worry about standing at a cash point and someone looking over their shoulder and seeing what their pin is. and we think customers are really going to enjoy the experience. could they not get an imprint? no, it's not csi, it doesn't work that way. it doesn't? 0k. so, a photograph? nope. if i go hi, theyjust go, oh, yes, excellent there's enough pixels there and nick that? that won't work. on a glass, you know, like police evidence kind of things? the powder? no, that doesn't work. no? nothing? no, sorry, your television dreams are shattered. if something goes wrong and i find that somebody‘s got my money but shouldn't have my money, will you give it back to me? what you can always do is block your card with one phone call. is that a yes or a no, georgina? we review all customer experiences on a case—by—case basis. right. it's arrived.
10:55 pm
i've got sort of like a card reader and the card itself. i'm going to need that little black box to kind of register my thumbprint on the fingerprint reader. i've been invited to take part in a three—month trial. the small battery in the reader is enough to power the card. after seeing my thumb from five different angles, it's happy it's got my print. now, of course google and apple pay systems using our mobile phones linked to a debit card or credit card offer similar biometric security for payments. but your phone costs a lot more, needs to be charged and it's a lot bigger. my new card is no thicker than a standard debit card. a strip down of it shows what's going on. on the right is the fingerprint reader, there's no battery inside, instead an inductive loop, shown here in red, acts as an aerial for the card to receive power
10:56 pm
from the card terminal. the six dots at the top are the programming port. and it's here, in the microcontroller, where my fingerprint is stored and verified. all on the card, so our biometric data never leaves our hands. a coffee, please. now using the card is pretty much as easy as it is at the moment, except you have got to put your thumb, or whatever finger you've registered, over the golden box, so it can recognise it when you make the payment. a green light flashes to show all‘s ok, and that my plastic is not in some trickster tv producer's mitts. now the other big bonus i found is my new spending limit. normally, contactless payments cap out at £30. but this allows me to spend up to £100 because of the additional security, and i'm told that by the time it comes to market,
10:57 pm
that limit could be limitless, which means i could get my weekly shopping, fill up my car, and buy a bike just with a tap of my card. so knowing all that, will the card be secure? gemalto is behind the tech. the actual sensor we use is dynamic, which means each time it reads your fingerprint it needs to be a 98—99% match. if there is a slight variation, a micro—slash on your finger it will take that into account, so next time it knows that micro—slash will be there. but does it then allow for someone with a similar fingerprint to get into the system? no, not at all, the variation is so small, there is not two people that would be within that level of variation. this would be the biggest change to payment cards for a decade, if the banks back it. that's it for now. for the next couple of weeks we're going to be recharging our
10:58 pm
batteries, so we will give you the chance to see again a couple of our favourite recent shows. we will still be here, though, on the end of youtube, facebook, instagram and twitter, at @bbcclick. so feel free to get in touch. thanks for watching and we will see you soon. hello there. we are going to see outbreaks of rain for some overnight, particularly for scotland and northern ireland, where close to an area of low pressure, we will continue to see heavy downpours feeding in, but our eyes are drawn further south to this waving weather front in the south. this is likely to bring some rain across the south coast of england before turning into the south—east of england and east anglia to bring more general rain here later on in the night.
10:59 pm
for some of us, some wet weather around, the rain could be quite heavy across east anglia and south—east england but the showers merging together to give lengthy spells of rain at times across scotland and northern ireland, a drier slice of weather in between, but still with a few showers for western parts of england and wales. temperatures overnight in the breeze falling no lower than 11—14 degrees. if we start off with rain across east anglia and south—east england, it will move away pretty quickly and then it is another day of sunshine and showers. the majority of the showers for scotland, northern ireland, pushing into the north—west of both england and wales, and the driest weather through the afternoon across central and eastern england. that's your weather.
11:00 pm
this is bbc news. i'm ben bland. the headlines at 11: detectives investigating the death of a police officer have said he died of "multiple injuries", as they were given more time to question ten suspects. i also want to thank the public and the wider policing family for their messages of support during this extremely difficult time for everybody affected by andrew's death. a 17—year—old has been charged with the murder of lawyer peter duncan, who was stabbed with a screwdriver in newcastle on wednesday. police clash with pro—democracy protestors in hong kong as thousands rally in support of the chinese—backed government. the observer is reporting that senior mps are planning to introduce
