6:00 am
good morning, welcome to breakfast with rogerjohnson and rachel burden. our headlines today: schools in england that are rated outstanding will no longer be exempt from ofsted inspections under new plans to try to improve standards. at least five are dead and many more injured after a gunman shot randomly at people from his car in the american state of texas. hong kong police use tear gas, rubber bullets and water cannon to try to control tens of thousands of demonstrators. more pro—democracy protests are expected later. commemorations are held in poland overnight, marking the 80th anniversary of the outbreak of the second world war.
6:01 am
the world of motorsport pays tribute to formula 2 driver anthoine hubert, killed in a crash at the belgian grand prix circuit. tributes are expected to be paid at the f1 race later today. it is the first of september. as far as meteorologists are concerned, the first day of autumn. and it will feel like it as well. a cool day for all of us, a mix of sunshine and showers. details coming up. it's sunday the 1st of september. our top story: english schools rated as outstanding by ofsted will no longer be exempt from inspections, under new government plans. the department for education says that, as of last summer, almost 300 schools hadn't been assessed for more than a decade. it said the changes would give parents up—to—date information about their child's education and ensure standards remain high. alexandra mackenzie reports.
6:02 am
it's the beginning of a new school year. time for the education secretary to unveil what he calls a raft of new measures for schools in england. high performing schools will receive funding to provide more support for ones that are struggling. operated schools will no longer be exempt from routine of static sections. some have not been inspected for a decade. and to turnaround the most challenging schools, a new specialist academy trust is to be piloted. this will help those that have been underperforming for some time. this comesjust underperforming for some time. this comes just after the pm's announcement of the lens of pounds of extra spending for primary and secondary schools in england over the next three years. the government says it will now focus on standards in education, and supporting the teaching staff. labour says this is
6:03 am
an embarrassing admission, but the education policies of successive tory governments have failed. and too many of its offered solutions just offer more of the same. five people have been killed and many more injured after a mass shooting in the us state of texas. the suspect, a white male, was shot dead yesterday in a standoff with police. andy moore has this report. five killed, that is confirmed by the police chief... at first it was thought two gunmen were on the loose. people were evacuated from the shopping centre, including the presenter at the local tv station. there are people running through them all, not sure why. are we going to go back to programming? no, we're going to leave the and slip away we don't know what is going on. as the gunman was finally cornered near a cinema complex, people were urged to ta ke cinema complex, people were urged to
6:04 am
take cover. police said the gunman had started his shooting spree after a simple traffic stop. he is a white male in his mid— 30s. i don't have a positive identification on him yet. i have an idea who he is, but i won't release that information until we are absolutely positive. the vice president said the white house was being fully briefed on the incident. the president and i and our administration remain absolutely determined to work with leaders of both parties and congress to take such steps that we can address and confront the scourge of mass atrocities in our country. there have been 140 victims of such mass atrocities so far this year. the same as in the whole of last year. the eu's lead brexit negotiator, michel barnier, says the uk has come to a "moment of truth"
6:05 am
on how it will leave the european union. he again rejected prime minister borisjohnson‘s demand to remove the irish backstop, the policy intended to avoid a hard border on the island of ireland, and said he wasn't optimistic about avoiding a no deal scenario. let's get more from our political correspondent, susana mendonca. i think this is what we have been hearing from borisjohnson, but from michel barnier these comments pour cold water on borisjohnson‘s optimistic approach, where he has been saying that getting close to a deal over the irish backstop, which isa deal over the irish backstop, which is a policy to maintain an open border in the event of there not being a trade deal done after some kind of transition period, should the withdrawal agreement come into
6:06 am
play. it looks as though michel barnier is basically saying he is not open to the idea of changing that aspect of the withdrawal agreement. also talking about not being optimistic about the idea of avoiding a no deal brexit, we have heard that before from the eu. i suppose it plays into what we have been hearing from the government in terms of preparations for a potential no deal brexit. this big pr campaign is on next week to prepare the country for brexit in whatever form it comes. prepare the country for brexit in whateverform it comes. what prepare the country for brexit in whatever form it comes. what will be the message? this is something we have heard about from sometime, it will be coming into play. it is called" get ready for brexit", basically an online website that people can go on to and fill in details about yourself and then get information that is particular to your own situation. so really it is about trying to allay fears for those who are worried about a no
6:07 am
deal brexit. many people are particularly worried about the suspension of parliament, which the government is planning to impose on the next couple of weeks. we saw protest yesterday across the street in the country, there will be more protests to come and this week ahead we have parliament potentially getting into a situation where it will be trying to challenge the idea ofa no will be trying to challenge the idea of a no deal brexit and bring in legislation. some very difficult times ahead. events are taking place to mark 80 years since hitler's invasion of poland. two days later, britain and france declared war on germany. the foreign secretary, dominic raab, willjoin more than 40 world leaders at commemorations in warsaw today. let's speak to our correspondent adam easton.
6:08 am
bring us up—to—date with more on what is planned and what has already happened there today. we have already had ceremonies taking place at dawn, at sites of the german attacks on poland exactly 80 years ago, which sparked a global conflict. a conflict that was particularly devastating for poland, of course. it was invaded by not one but two brutal dictatorships, nazi germany and the soviet union. it lost about 17% of its population. we have leaders from about 40 countries attending the ceremony here later today, there will be speeches from american vice president mike pence and the presidents of poland and
6:09 am
germany. the term of the unknown soldier is behind me, and the leaders will go for an official dinner at warsaw's royal castle, and the evening will end with the performance of a classical concert, the polish requiem, and in a spirit of reconciliation, the musicians who will be performing a polish, but the choir will be german. thank you very much, adam. protests in hong kong are expected to continue today, with a two—day rally planned at hong kong international airport. it follows a weekend of unrest which has seen thousands of demonstrators marching in the city and defying a protest ban. our china correspondent stephen mcdonnell is in hong kong for us this morning. it seems like the protesters are not deterred at all from turning up. any idea how much longer this will carry
6:10 am
on for? attention has shifted back to the airport. we can see barricades here behind me, and passengers coming off planes, arriving down the ramp. the reason there is also security here is because protesters have come to the airport today and they are threatening to block transport links. they say they will gather here where the buses are pulling up, and in an attempt to fill this area. you will notice people standing around here dressed in black, they are part of the protest movement, holding signs, and every now and then they will start chanting and calling out, and the fact that there would dozens of arrests last night, violence in the subway is right police pursued activists down into
6:11 am
underground train stations and onto trains even, bashing protesters with their batons on trains, it hasn't deterred people from coming out. we don't know how many people will come to the airport today but this will again be the focus of protests in the coming hours. many thanks. i guess there will likely be disruption at the airport today. a powerful storm threatening the bahamas and south—eastern coast of the us has grown to category four, and is expected to strengthen even more. states of emergency have been declared across many of the regions at risk, including florida, where residents are preparing for when the storm hits land. president trump has described the incoming hurricane dorian as "extremely dangerous". the hurricane is roaring in, it could be a big one. we are hoping
6:12 am
that it may be makes our right and goes up north, but that is about a 596 goes up north, but that is about a 5% chance, it is not looking good. and it's one of the biggest hurricane lucinda long time, a long time, so it could be very devastating. we will have updates on that throughout the morning. you're watching breakfast from bbc news. let's look at the front pages. the sunday times leads on its interview with the prime minister, who says conservative mps face a historic choice this week: they can either back him to deliver brexit, orface "chaos" under the labour leader, jeremy corbyn. the sunday telegraph leads on comments by the eu's chief negotiator, michel barnier, who says the irish backstop will not be scrapped. the paper also reports that the prime minister is preparing for a showdown with tory rebels who are campaigning to block no deal. the main picture on the front of the sunday express is from yesterday's protests in london, as thousands turned out to campaign against
6:13 am
the suspension of parliament. the paper says an election could be triggered within days if a no—deal brexit is successfully stopped. and the observer reports on calls for a top—level investigation into the prime minister's chief aide, dominic cummings, after he sacked one of the chancellor's advisors. one thing that caught our eye inside the papers, it is the first day of autumn, whether you like it or not. embracing the thrill of the autumn chill! this is a game we played coming back from holidays on friday, what are we looking forward to about autumn and winter in order to cheer ourselves up! i'm a big fan of autumn, soi ourselves up! i'm a big fan of autumn, so i am with all of this. i am with the chunky knits, the fires,
6:14 am
the red wine, although that is all seasons for me. raking the leaves is the one thing that annoys me. the other thing that happens is the invasion of the house spiders, they all invasion of the house spiders, they a ll start invasion of the house spiders, they all start coming out in september, and they start spreading their webs everywhere. especially when you have to get up early in the morning and they are crawling around! and ben is waiting to beat a retreat. 0h oh was. is not a pretty sight when the alarm clock goes off at the time of year. we are heading into meteorological autumn. the first day of september is autumn as far as
6:15 am
weather forecasters are concerned. it is going to be quite cool through today. a mixture of sunshine and showers. some of the showers will be on the heavy side. yesterday we saw rain pushing eastwards, courtesy of this band of cloud. behind that you can see speckled clouds moving in, they are showing showers and those speckled clouds being brought down ona speckled clouds being brought down on a north—westerly wind which is allowing us to tap into some really rather cool air indeed. this is how we are starting off the morning, with some dry weather, early brightness for some. some showers blowing and across the northern and western areas, particularly heavy showers across scotland today, some of which could contain hail and thunder. but every start of the day, ten for aberdeen. some of those showers into northern ireland, into northern england, parts of wales. the odd one for the south—west. not too many showers here today. for east anglia and the south—east it is pretty much a dry start with some spells of sunshine. a bit of icloud
6:16 am
to clear away. that should clear pretty quickly. as we go through the day we continue to see the showers -- high day we continue to see the showers —— high cloud. further south and was not many showers. temperatures this afternoon between 13 and 21 degrees. consider that last sunday parts of the south—east got up to 31 degrees. quite a change. later on we are likely to see a band of showers and cloud across northern ireland, spreading it with us we go through the night. elsewhere clear spells. it will be the coolest night we will have had for quite some time. minimum temperatures 5—6d. patch lower in rural spots in eastern scotland. a cool start tomorrow. some changes through the day. we started high pressure in charge. this frontal system pushing it from the north—west will introduce more and more cloud as the day wears on. it will start to feel, perhaps, a little less cool and fresh as well. some slightly milder and pushing in from the south—west. generally speaking, things clouding over
6:17 am
during the day. outbreaks of patching rain and drizzle for the coast. what a weather for northern ireland and scotland. eastern scotla nd ireland and scotland. eastern scotland may cling onto some sunshine. temperatures 14—21. as we look ahead through the coming week, it stays critical, particularly midweek onwards. rain at times, but not all the time. sunshine as well. at times it will be fairly windy. certainly feeling like the start of autumn. back to you. that is great for whoever wrote the article in the sunday telegraph who said proper rain. who doesn't love a downpour? they like that, do they? a p pa re ntly downpour? they like that, do they? apparently so. it will be like that in western scotland. for some today in the showers. other places will avoid that and stay dry. not eve ryo ne avoid that and stay dry. not everyone will get those today. fantastic. thanks very much. now it's time for the film review with james king and jane hill.
6:18 am
hello, and a very warm welcome to the film review. this week we have james king with me. good to see you, james. what have you been watching? well, it's been enjoyably intense week at the cinema. i'm going to be talking about taylor—johnson's epic, a million little pieces. and markjenkins' wonderfully minimal bait. plus, joanna ponders wonderfully addictive drama, the souvenir. it's like a venn diagram of topics this week. a million little pieces, quite a controversial little book. it was a bestseller. so this is sam taylor—johnson directing it, adapting it and producing it with husband aaron taylor—johnson,
6:19 am
he is also in it, so it's very much a family project. it's about james wright, it's semiautobiographical, it's about his drug rehabilitation in america. aaron taylor—johnson and juliette lewis who plays his therapist in the clinic. coffee ? sure, thanks. that's yours? no, that's my boyfriends. i ride. yeah. i've been riding for about ten years. it turns out there's a way to feed the soul, notjust destroy it. i go on fishing trips every now and then. i'm good with a rod, but a drink like a fish.
6:20 am
we're all aa here, everyone who works in this joint from the janitors to the counsellors, we're all addicts. juliette lewis, makes me think we don't see enough of her. that is what i thought. and i also thought what a great voice she has. one of the great voices. the supporting cast are really interesting. billy bob thornton is in there as well, another patient at this clinic. like chalk and cheese characters him and aaron taylor—johnson. like a father figure to him, really. the supporting cast are really good and provide the lighter moments. a lot of it is very intense and dramatic, gutsy. it felt to me like it was almost sam taylor—johnson who has previously directed fifty shades of grey, saying forget that, this is the kind of thing i really want to be making.
6:21 am
obviously that was a big movie but not particularly critically praised. and i don't think it's something that she enjoyed that much making as a film director. this is the kind of thing she wants to be doing. this is her saying i can really do character pieces. i can do movies where the actors really have to act. intense, gritty? he is full—on method, broken and bruised, you can see him just fading away in front of you as this addict. is it a tough watch, given the subject matter? absolutely. but two things make it enjoyable. one is the acting because it is so good and two is the supporting characters. they are there just when you need the mood to be lightened. just when you need. i am intrigued by the second choice this week. explain. this is a wonderfully experimental drama from markjenkin, cornish director. it is about a feud in a cornish fishing village between locals and tourists. and he shot it on a 60mm camera using old monochrome film, he then processed it himself, there are glitches in the film,
6:22 am
there are scratches in the film, and what you get actually is a film that on the one hand looks and feels a bit like it was made a long time ago. it looks like that for sure. like it was something from the early days of cinema. but the flipside is that it feels excitingly sentimental and ava nt garde in some respects. because so much of it is about a traditional way of life, the old way of life, for these cornish fishing men, the fishing industry, and they are old techniques and methods, i think actually a way that the film looks work beautifully with that. it also creates a lot of tension. it's creepy sometimes because there is a building tension between the weekenders, the londoners, the second homeowners in this fishing village, and the locals.
6:23 am
that's interesting. the editing is radical at times which helps to build that up, as does the acting. so, it's certainly — it is not everyone's cup of tea, i can appreciate that, but it is not like anything else at the cinema at the moment. even though it nods back to olderfilms, it feels very new. 0k. interesting. not fishermans friend's. no, very different. the souvenir, the third choice for this week which i think is a really interesting film and i mean interesting in a good way. yeah, absolutely. interesting is always the film critic's way... ..of hedging their bets. this is from joanna hogg another minimal film—maker. about a young film student, julie, partly based onjoanna hogg's life and a relationship each begins with an older man who seems on the face of things very confident, very well spoken. very charming. he's actually hiding a secret. so honour swinton byrne stars in this. along with tom burke who can hold a cigarette better than anyone
6:24 am
else in cinema. let's have a look. did miriam play the cello? no. the violin? no, she wasn't at all musical. she wasn't even pretty, actually. that's... not true. well, she had other qualities. like what? darling, i can't tell you in here. thank you. excuse me? i'm just playing, julie. stop torturing yourself. i'm not torturing... stop inviting me to torture you. ugh. "ugh." eurgh! that's exactly how you make me feel when you're being like this. thank you.
6:25 am
it all gets much darker though doesn't it? don't be fooled by that clip. it gets grittier. what i really like about it is that it doesn't feel like it is really pushing you in any one direction, it is not bullying you as an audience to think one thing or another. it has a distance about the whole thing. it lets you find for yourself what you want to think. a lot ofjoanna hogg's films do. so you actually build your own opinions rather than the film telling you what to think. it has a subtlety about it, complexity about it, and some wonderful performances. honour swinton byrne you might recognise, she is tilda swinton's daughter. she plays tilda swinton's daughter in the film. and she is great. look out for richard ayoade. he is only in it for one scene and he steals his scene. it is slow, complex, eerie at times. quite unsettling at times. but i think that is very rewarding.
6:26 am
i found it quite... maybe, particularly as a woman, quite a stressful watch because i thought you have got to leave him! now you really have to leave him! this is really stressing me out. but it is about someone who is only in her early 20s who doesn't have the confidence and maturity to see that. yeah, and she plays it perfectly and tom burke plays it perfectly. i think he has a bafta nomination in the bag. he was amazing. i would hope so. he is particularly sleazy and unpleasant to watch. i think it is the pinstripe suits. they are unsettling. we both loved pain and glory. pedro almodovar reuniting with antonio banderas. it is a semiautobiographical story about a director struggling with creativity, pain, literal pain, back pain and looking back on his childhood. looking back on his life. some very familiar themes for the director, the mother—son relationship, sexuality, film—making. gorgeous, bright colours! that is how you know you're watching one of his films. but i think the difference is that personal side, it feels even more honest.
6:27 am
he is always honest in his films but this feels even more like he is opening his heart. i think he hits 70 in a few weeks and it certainly feels like he's a man who is now looking back on things. yes. i think its glorious and banderas is glorious as well. a quick thought about dvds and streaming? amazing grace. aretha franklin recorded the album, a live gospel film recorded in la. it was filmed, the film never came out, it was never edited, never put together but that much until a few months ago, last year in fact. it's a live recording of one of her performances in a gospel church. when, after 46 years, they finally put together this documentary of aretha singing this album and that is what this is. it is 90 minutes of aretha franklin and the southern california coming to a choir—singing gospel.
6:28 am
very simple, that is the joy. so pure and so simple and it is aretha franklin at the height of her powers. everyone i know who has seen it says it is very uplifting. even if you don't like soul music, you can witness the passion of singing. you might not like gospel but watching it, you will fall in love. thank you very much, james with all your recommendations for the weekend ahead. enjoy your weekend whatever you go and see. see you next time. goodbye.
6:29 am
hello, this is breakfast with rogerjohnson and rachel burden. good morning, here's a summary of today's main stories from bbc news:
6:30 am
english schools rated as outstanding by ofsted will no longer be exempt from inspections, under new government plans. the department for education says that as of last summer almost 300 schools hadn't been assessed for more than a decade. he said the changes would give parents up—to—date information about their child's education and ensure standards remain high. five people are dead and many more injured after a mass shooting in the us state of texas. the gunman shot randomly at people while driving round the cities of odessa and midland yesterday. the suspect, a white male, was shot and killed by police. no motive for the shootings has been established. right now i will tell you that he is a white male in his mid— 30s. i don't have a positive identification on him yet. i have an idea who he is soi on him yet. i have an idea who he is so i won't release that information until we are absolutely positive.
6:31 am
the eu's lead brexit negotiator, michel barnier, says the uk has come to a "moment of truth" on how it will leave the european union. he again rejected borisjohnson's demand to remove the irish backstop, the policy intended to avoid a hard border on the island of ireland, and said he wasn't optimistic about avoiding a no—deal scenario. his comments come after thousands of people took to the streets across the uk yesterday to protest against the prime minister's decision to suspend parliament. events are taking place to mark 80 years since hitler's invasion of poland. two days later, britain and france declared war on germany. ceremonies began in the early hours of this morning in the polish city of wielun, where the bombs first fell. the foreign secretary, dominic raab, willjoin more than 40 world leaders at commemorations in warsaw today. protests in hong kong are set to continue today, with a two—day rally planned at hong kong international airport. it follows a weekend of unrest which has seen thousands of demonstrators marching in the city and defying a protest ban. yesterday police used rubber bullets and water canons to try
6:32 am
and disperse protesters. several people were arrested. a powerful storm threatening the bahamas and south—eastern coast of the us has grown to category 4, and is expected to strengthen even more. states of emergency have been declared across many of the regions at risk, including florida, where residents are preparing for when the storm hits land. president trump has described the incoming hurricane dorian as "extremely dangerous". the hurricane is roaring in, it could be a big one. we are hoping that it may be makes a right and goes up north, but that is about a 5% chance, it is not looking good. and it's one of the biggest hurricanes we've seen in a long time, a long time, so it could be very devastating.
6:33 am
some very sad news from the world of motorsport emerged yesterday. jane can tell us a bit more about that. motorsport is in mourning, following the death of a young driver during a support race for this weekend's belgian grand prix. 22—year—old french driver anthoine hubert died after a crash in a formula 2 race in spa. it happened on the second lap and, as the severity of the situation became clear, the race was susequently halted. a lot of the senior f1 drivers knew him. world champion lewis hamilton paid tribute on social media writing: "devastating news. god bless your soul anthoine. my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family today." ferrari's charles leclerc posted a picture of himself and anthoine hubert alongside each other from their karting days together. charles leclerc will find today's formula one race at spa tough, where tributes are expected to be paid to antoine hubert. leclerc is on pole and will be hoping to claim the first victory of his formula one career. it's his third pole position
6:34 am
of the season in qualifying for the belgian grand prix. his ferrari team mate sebastian vettel lines up alongside him, with championship leader lewis hamilton third. liverpool go into the international break with four wins out of four in the premier league after they beat burnley 3—0. manchester city went one better with a 4—0 thrashing of brighton. chelsea and manchester united could only draw though, as adam wild reports. too soon to call the premier league are two horse race, but even in these early stages liverpool and manchester city are just too good for their opponents. they say in sport you make your own luck, liveable making little of burnley. goals from sadio mane and roberto firmino were deserved. this brings expectations, sadio mane angry at being substituted. but that drive for more is what drives liveable
6:35 am
forward. he was emotional, he would do it exactly like this again probably not, but it is all ok, really. i like that, we like to do that and not outside in the public, everybody needs it to come down everything is fine, and we still like each other. if liverpool like each other, manchester city fans cannot help like what they are seeing as well. it took them little over a minute to get things started against brighton. manchester city have the lead on 71 seconds. two goals from sergio aguero made the game safe. a very comfortable afternoon for city. things considerably less comfortable for their cross city rivals, manchester united. against southampton, things started brightly enough. this was danieljames showing once again why so much is expected of him. the lead
6:36 am
wouldn't last. a draw, and for some it felt like more than that. chelsea, another premier league winner of the past now looking to the future. the youngest side in the modern era. and abraham was justifying the faith in youth. this his second goal against sheffield united. but sheffield city have with them and in a steel. chelsea have some growing to do. but the goal of the day perhaps came in lester's win over bournemouth. jamie vardy has done this kind of thing before. he never stops being spectacular. in scotland it's rangers celtic in the old firm derby at lunchtime, but everyone else in the scottish premiership played yesterday. motherwell put three goals past hibernian without reply. the opening effort from sherwin seedorf was the pick of the goals. elsewhere, there were wins for aberdeen, livingston and kilmarnock. hearts drew with hamilton.
6:37 am
it's nowjust under three weeks until the rugby world cup gets under way injapan, and after a trashing by england last weekend ireland have been stepping up their preparations with a win over wales in cardiff. jacob stockdale went over twice in the first half for the irish, helping them to a 22—17 victory. the two sides will meet against next weekend in dublin for a final world cup warm up game. wales name their world cup squad later today. scotland recorded their first away win in 14 months as they beat georgia in their last world cup warm up match before theirfinal squad is announced. rory hutchinson scored two tries on his first test start in a comfortable 44—10 victory. vasly lomachenko beat britain's luke campbell at london's o2 arena on points to add wbc lightweight title to his wba and wbo belts. lomachenko, who's regarded as one
6:38 am
of the best pound—for—pound boxers, was made to work hard for the thrilling win though. campbell was knocked down in the 11th round by the ukrainian, who won by a unanimous decision. rafa nadal has powered through to the fourth round of the us open. the world number two was clinical in seeing off south korea's chung hyeon in straight sets yesterday evening. nadal will now face either john isner or 2014 champion marin cilic in the next round. defending champion naomi osaka is also through, beating coco gauff in straight sets. and she showed her compassion in victory afterwards, with some consoling words for the american teenager. that was a cracking goal from jamie vardy! it's thought more than 20 million americans could feel the force of hurricane dorian, the catergory 4 storm that is due to hit the bahamas
6:39 am
and south—eastern coast of the us later today. let's find out a bit more now about how people are preparing. we can speak to valencia gunder, who's organising an emergency operations centre in miami. good morning to you, thanks for talking to us. just explain what you are doing to prepare for the arrival of dorian. good morning everyone. we have the community emergency operations centre here in miami, and we have been stockpiling supplies and helping underserved community members to get all the items they need to be prepared for the storm. right now we're just waiting to see what the is going to do. we did reach out to over 2000 people in the community. checking on senior citizens, evacuating those who need it, and we're just trying to be as resilient as possible. how much of
6:40 am
this you having to do yourself? how much support are you getting from either the state government or the federal government? we received no assistance from our government, we are 100% volunteer —based organisation. all of the supplies and everything is actually purchased and everything is actually purchased and donated from our community members over time and people from around the country send us donations. so when president trump says florida is totally ready, do you agree with him? well, not eve ryo ne you agree with him? well, not everyone here i know is prepared. maybe he was speaking of the government, however day—to—day residence in south florida have been finding it really hard to get prepared. but you know, it is expensive to prepare for storms, it is not an easy thing, especially when you live paycheck to paycheck.
6:41 am
we are seeing some pictures now of people preparing sandbags, doing all the kind of things you might expect. do you expect many people to evacuate their homes? well, some people who live in structures that are not safe, so they are planning on evacuating. they are listening closely to see whether emergency shelters were open, if they open at all. you know, i noticed a lot of people aren't not on the road to leave may be because the storm is so large, in the hopes that they will... i do believe that a large amount of people will actually evacuate their homes and going to emergency shelters. we are looking at satellite images of the storm, it is huge. they are saying it could be the biggest since 1992, you obviously have experience of these things, they are an annual event, but are you concerned this will be something the likes of which most
6:42 am
people don't remember? yes, i was in hurricane and one in 92, and i was a child but we had lights out in the water was contaminated for a about two or three weeks. hurricane irma was extremely large, and we didn't even get the eye of the storm in miami but we were without lights for almost a week. so we fear that the storms are getting stronger, and dorian seems like he will be stronger than what hurricane irma was, so we are taking it seriously. the news has been shifting back and forth, saying the trajectories changing the time, but people are still in a state of emergency. in terms of your group, you are in a place called liberty city, as you say you are a self—funded, self
6:43 am
organised group, but why did you in the first place set it up? in 2017, going into hurricane irma, i was receiving a lot of phone calls. usually i assist families and individuals on the homeless with food year—round, and going into the storm a lot of people were reaching out. i just decided storm a lot of people were reaching out. ijust decided that we should have something in place for an emergency response, so myself and a few colleagues got together and decided to create our community emergency operations centre, and we ended up expanding into two counties, reaching 18 neighbourhoods, servicing of a 23,000 people and mobilising 500 volunteers, and we just came up with the idea that we can be our own first responders. we wish you all the best, thank you very much for talking to us on the bbc this morning, and good luck.

a lot of poverty in that part of florida, and something like 60% of people living in unsafe structures that they have to get out of. it is notoriously difficult sometimes to track exactly where these hurricanes are going yes. this particular storm is giving forecasters real headaches. some models taking it towards florida, others bending it up the east coast, making the storm potentially make la ndfall making the storm potentially make landfall around georgia or south carolina. there is a huge amount of uncertainty. no doubt they will see damaging winds, torrential rain, and the northern end of the bahamas, where more than 600 millimetres of rain looks likely. that'll be a big story of the next few days. back home, it is much quieter than that. first day of meteorological autumn. the first day of september. what we are looking at is some rather cool
6:45 am
weather throughout the day. a mixture of sunny spells and showers. some will be on the heavy side. yesterday we had a band of cloud that brought rain across many parts of the uk. it is that bad after that has ushered in the cooler f. you can see the speckled clouds pushing down from the north. it is bringing that very cool air. this is how we start off the day. showers blowing across northern and western areas, particularly. not as many further south and east. quite a cool, fresh start out there. 10 degrees in aberdeen, 11 in glasgow. you can see a real rush of showers for northernmost about scotland. could be some heavy, thuggery was through the day. down across northern ireland, northern england, one or two into wales. the south—west of england probably won't see too many today. for east anglia and the south—east pretty much a dry start. some areas of high cloud around. they should tend to clear. we will see spells of sunshine. as we go through the day we continue to bring
6:46 am
showers across scotland, northern ireland, northern england, down into north wales, and east anglia. the further south and south—west you are the better chance of staying dry for much of the day. not as many showers. 14—21 at best. through the late afternoon we are likely to see a band of cloud and showers driven across northern ireland. that will tra nsfer across northern ireland. that will transfer into scotland, northern england through the night. showers elsewhere will tend to fade. we will see some clear spells. it will be the coolest note we have had for quite some time. maybe five degrees in aberdeen. some spots in eastern scotla nd in aberdeen. some spots in eastern scotland in the countryside could get a little cooler than that. a very good start to monday. leslie tried to start under this area of high pressure. this operating frontal system is going to change things through the day. it will bring across northern ireland and scotland. some of that rain could be on the heavy side. further south, as here frontal system approaches, we will see more in the way of cloud starting to develop. some spells of sunshine into the afternoon, eastern
6:47 am
scotla nd sunshine into the afternoon, eastern scotland with shelter from the mountains could see spells of sunshine. temperatures for monday afternoon between 14 and 21. it stays relatively cool as we have through the coming week stop rachel, roger, back to you. thank you so much. we were talking about embracing the autumn. we have had a tweet from kerry saying i am with you embracing the autumn. the back—to—school vibe makes me want to rush out and buy a new pencil box. we bought all the methods and everything else. embracing the thrill of the autumn chill is a big spread in the sunday telegraph today. no more fans, it says. the amount of fans looking about the house. the amount of fans? you can't get out of the building without tripping overfans. get out of the building without tripping over fans. this is our every day. first of september. happy autumn, everyone. now it's time for click with spencer kelly.
6:48 am
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 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
6:49 am
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. 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.
6:50 am
so turn to page 84. 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. 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.
6:51 am
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, 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
6:52 am
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 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.
6:53 am
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 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
6:54 am
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. 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
6:55 am
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, 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.
6:56 am
because it can take you days to get through a fighting fantasy game book. good luck on your adventure. but with great power comes great responsibility, i mean, do you really want to make decisions about the tv programme and films that you watch? would you rather just sit back and relax? and also, if you want to talk to your friends about what you've seen, they've seen a different version of the show, you don't have a common ground. and then there's another thing. through interactive experiences, it's possible to get tabs on viewers' habits, and you may be giving out more information about yourself than you think. here is more. extrovert or introvert, open to new experience, or more comfortable with tradition? we're using the data you collect while you watch the obm to deliver a specific advert to you. the choices you made gave us an idea of your personality, it's certainly not scientific,
6:57 am
but when you try it out, see if we were right. researchers have worked out that even simple data leaks can give indications about your personality. with just 75 facebook likes being as illuminating as asking a work colleague about you. and with 300, as accurate as asking a partner about you. you can infer private stuff from data you might think is not too meaningful. people's personality, people's intelligence, political views, religious views, sexuality, just because you like camping and a few other things. we all recognise when facebook, google and instagram do this, showing adverts tailored to our behaviour. this can be good if you're looking for a specific item, but can also be a bit unnerving. people often say online advertising is creepy, so you are talking to a friend, then later on you see
6:58 am
an advertisement for the same thing you are talking about. it mayjust be that you were talking to your friend, but then the fact you are talking to someone else, they may search for something, then suddenly you are seeing an ad for something that they're interested in. they infer you are friends and therefore probably have similar interests. if all this creeps you out a bit, we'll look to see some of the tools online that may help obscure your data trail. you might want to get rid of the cookies stored on your browser. these store personal data like your login, email address and what is in your shopping basket. clear the cookies from your web browser using the appropriate menu. in chrome, it is in the history settings. in safari, choose preferences and privacy to block all cookies or manage which ones have access. cookies aren't the only problem, other types of trackers can follow you around. some anti—tracking tools can help. privacy badger by the electronic frontier foundation is free to add to your browser, it shows you which domains are following your online movements and lets you choose which ones to allow or block.
