10:31 pm
hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are the mirror's political correspondent nicola bartlett and the president of the foreign press association benedicte paviot. nice to have you here. tomorrow's front pages are already in. a warning from the prime minister on tomorrow's telegraph — tories who defy borisjohnson by trying to stop a no—deal brexit will be expelled from the party. more of the same on the telegraph — as the prime minister warns rebel tories i'll kick you out the party! mps who block no—deal will be banned from standing banned from standing as conservatives. ready, steady, chaos! the metro warns westminster mayhem looms as mps prepare to return tomorrow after downing street signalled any new laws to block a hard brexit could simply be ignored(. the financial times reports that a labour government would cost uk companies £300 billion by shifting shares to staff in one of the biggest state raids
10:32 pm
on the private sector to take place in a western democracy. back me or i'll sack you! more warnings from the prime minister to any tory rebels threatening to block a no—deal brexit on the daily mail. boris vows to boot out brexit rebels reads the daily express alongside a picture of her majesty, the queen. a similar headline across tomorrow's guardian. if you are looking for the queen, she looked suspiciously like meryl streep. we haven't got any more. 0k. shall we make a start? just to let you know, we are honoured tonight as we have the gallery supremo directing, chris cooke, in the chair andi directing, chris cooke, in the chair and i can hear him laughing. it better go smoothly. let's start then with the telegraph, a big week for both of you and you are trying to tell it to a french audience, and again, you are going to be very busy
10:33 pm
keeping up with proceedings, nicola. so the pm warns rebel mps, backed me oi’ so the pm warns rebel mps, backed me or be sacked. yeah, any attempt to bring some of those tory rebels on side have definitely failed today. borisjohnson was side have definitely failed today. boris johnson was meant side have definitely failed today. borisjohnson was meant to be holding sort of peace talks with the key rebels and he pulled out and said that there was a diary clash meaning he could not meet them. he has completely turned that around and is basically telling them to vote with him and if they vote to stop an od or brexit then they will not be candidates for the conservative party at the next election. it does beg the question, if that were to happen, then they have no incentive to continue voting with the government at all and he currently has a majority ofjust one, so he would not be able to get any legislation through at all and it's very much gearing towards general election territory. it is going for broke, isn't it, because
10:34 pm
he probably feels he has nothing to lose, and as nicola says, they haven't either, and if they're going to be kicked out they might as well stretch their legs and see what they can achieve. it's notjust anybody. what matters is who has got the numbers this week. that will kick off at 2:30pm on tuesday afternoon andl off at 2:30pm on tuesday afternoon and i believe that the prime minister will make a g7 statement, because obviously there has been a g7 during the recess, and i know a week isa g7 during the recess, and i know a week is a long time in politics, but it wasjust a week is a long time in politics, but it was just a week ago. and you have people like philip hammond, david gauke, and milton and that is quite extraordinary. it was a considerable numberof whips extraordinary. it was a considerable number of whips who decided, they had this lunch at chequers and let's rememberthere had this lunch at chequers and let's remember there was the chequers deal and borisjohnson remember there was the chequers deal and boris johnson the then remember there was the chequers deal and borisjohnson the then foreign secretary appeared to be for the deal and was told that if you were
10:35 pm
against it, you could order your own taxi and walked to the end of the drive. that was on the friday and that was not a week, it was two days later and then on the monday we found that boris johnson later and then on the monday we found that borisjohnson had resigned. this is another crucial week and it is the nuclear option, clearly that the prime minister and his senior aides are looking against what is being nicknamed the gaukward squad. and we are being told in the tailing telegraph that there is a chance of a deal because brussels realises the prime minister is totally committed to leading on october the sist, so this is not just for domestic reasons, but it is to give a united front, controlling the troops, which the previous prime minister was not doing and then there were all the leaks. let's look at them metro, ready, steady, chaos.
10:36 pm
number ten will not rule out ignoring a commons vote. even if legislation is brought forward to suggest the suggestion from michael gove that we can just ignore it and there was everybody thinking it was parliament that was sovereign, not the government. it was extraordinary to see michael gove say this. i think that was a very specific jaw—dropping moment to hear it, because the uk is a parliamentary democracy and that is something where he did not want to dwell on it but that was quite extraordinary that numberten is but that was quite extraordinary that number ten is considering, or michael gove did not rule out, ignoring a commons vote. and then you hear that id cards might be withdrawn from rebel mps and, tory traitors could be deselected. that id cards one is particularly shocking, because as you say,
10:37 pm
parliament is sovereign and the government doesn't have and shouldn't have control over the ability of elected mps to get into the house of commons. and this idea that they might stand a tory candidate in the john that they might stand a tory candidate in thejohn bercow constituency, traditionally you don't stand against the speaker. but won't the speaker be critical for a range of reasons this week, not least because mp have their cards withdrawn or the legislation that passesis withdrawn or the legislation that passes is ignored by the government. isn't that where he would step in? clearly if there is that threat, which there clearly is towards john be rcow which there clearly is towards john bercow this would very much be defying tradition to threaten him by saying, ok, again the gloves are off and that it has come to this and this is a prime minister who has had one day a parliamentary scrutiny since he came on the 24th and effectively parliament has not been sitting since then and then there is
10:38 pm
this prorogation which, let's be frank, most people expected and in the coming days, not last week, but clearly, if you have a majority of one and you have very little time, because the slst of october is looming then i guess that is very much the thinking, and the sacking of the aid of sajid javid, unbeknownst to him, escorted by armed police to the gates of downing street, i think that could still have different ramifications. it will be interesting to see. a lot of these bully boy tactics, and it's a very kind of match a way of conducting yourself, it's very short termist because when you think about the consequences of doing a lot of these things, breaking conventions, it can really come back to bite you. there will be unforeseen consequences and a lot of this and it means that future governments can do as they are doing. you start to wonder if the government is looking
10:39 pm
further than the 60 days hence. let's look at the daily mail. back me or sack me, similar headline, a little bit of colour here in this when we found out about what they had to eat at chequers. they enjoyed a lamb curry lunch and these were the party whips and borisjohnson working out how they would get through the week and there would be a kind of boogie man, dominic cummings, as he is becoming. is there a french wine you can pair with a lamb curry? i would not have wine with curry. it is a waste. save your good wine for something else. have a beer or something. your good wine for something else. have a beer or somethinglj your good wine for something else. have a beer or something. i wondered if they would be teetotal because there's so much to concentrate on. the line i'm interested about, aside from the lamb curry lunch, is the fa ct from the lamb curry lunch, is the fact it says in the daily mail paper, he says an insider said that borisjohnson felt there
10:40 pm
paper, he says an insider said that boris johnson felt there was no point in speaking to them, the rebels, which is why he has cancelled the appointment on monday. that is quite a different versant. —— version. that is quite a different versant. -- version. you can see that is quite a different versant. “ version. you can see on that is quite a different versant. -- version. you can see on the front page that the sources in the rebel camp are saying that britain's decision to cancel the talk suggests there has not been any progress with brussels, so there are so many different layers are bluffing from each side. read the runes from paris for us, ina each side. read the runes from paris for us, in a nutshell, if you can. is there any shift in thinking from the macron government? not really. whether it is angular merkel or president macron and other european leaders, they are watching this with some alarm —— angela merkel. and this is the mother of all parliaments, very respected, and it is very much fracturing in no deal, but above and beyond this, this is a
10:41 pm
government with a one seat majority, a new prime minister, how will this play up a new prime minister, how will this play up and down the country? and when we look at the polls, we must be fair, the conservative party have anii point be fair, the conservative party have an 11 point lead and i think that is interesting. maybe we would want to move on to see what jeremy corbyn might do in government. let's do that. nicely teed up for us. the financial times reports that a labour government would cost uk companies £300 billion by shifting shares to staff in one of the biggest state raids on the private sector to take place in a western democracy. they would only get a benefit to a point. it's quite an interesting piece because this is one of a series that is really drilling down into the labour party policies and taking them seriously as a prospective government, a very kind of stark picture there with the kind of stark picture there with the kind of revolutionary red behind them.
10:42 pm
but these are policies where the numbers are quite shocking, but they are policies that do have a certain amount of sympathy within the general public, the idea that workers have more of a say and there are cases of this in europe where it is quite normalfor are cases of this in europe where it is quite normal for people to have more of a share in the business they work in. this is about redistributing wealth. it is, and according to the research in the financial times, this is the first pa rt of financial times, this is the first part of a 5—part series and a labour government would confiscate about £300 billion of shares in large companies and hand them to workers in one of the biggest state raids on the private sector to take place in western democracy. what is interesting is that labour itself has never put an estimate on the scale of the transfer of private
10:43 pm
wealth from shareholders to workers, so wealth from shareholders to workers, sol wealth from shareholders to workers, so i think it would be interesting to see what the labour party reaction is to this figure. we are in total election territory. right, still with the financial times, food banks branch out with broader services. what are they? it's interesting, because when we think of food banks we think of food, it actually now the branching out is about helping people who are struggling financially and that is a growing number of people and it's trying to assist people with other difficulties, so it is about budgeting, mental health, advice on debt, help with switching utility providers, because what we know is the terrible loan sharks do actually pray to clearly on the poorer people in society and charge them absolutely extraordinary terrible rates that should be illegal. and
10:44 pm
the schools are going back, terms starting again, and just equipping your child with clothing, that is where it is looking like they might help as well. and some mps have really picked up on this, the fact a school uniform can cost so much, especially if it has to have a logo or branding, and parents don't necessarily have the money for that. what is interesting with that is that food banks which were meant to bea that food banks which were meant to be a temporary measure, they become pa rt be a temporary measure, they become part of the system and are doing the job that the state used to do. that is reminding me, i have to stitch a new badge on my son's blazer tomorrow. so useful, the papers. finally, the daily telegraph. downing street goes to the dogs. there is a lucky dog that landed on all four paws, a rescue dog. he is 15 weeks old and i don't think he has a name yet but somebody who won't be impressed is the
10:45 pm
notoriously territorial larry the cat and we have all spent hours watching him swaggering around, but because of the puppy i read about previously, puppy will be shown whose pot. it will be larry. -- who is boss. the cat is top dog if that is boss. the cat is top dog if that is not is a contradiction in terms. the prime minister and his girlfriend are adopting him, so quite a big step for any couple to adopt an animal together.l quite a big step for any couple to adopt an animal together. a big commitment. needs to be walked every day. apparently some of the personnel have volunteered to walk him as well. i look forward to seeing the look of disdain on larry's face. i find seeing the look of disdain on larry's face. ifind it seeing the look of disdain on larry's face. i find it a very calming thing. anytime i around most dogs, ifind it completely de—stressing. jack russell is our terriers and a law unto themselves.
10:46 pm
that's it for the papers this hour. nicola and benedicte will be back at half past eleven for another look at the papers, and, don't forget, you can see all of 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. some of my colleagues have helpfully tweeted out the papers every night. next on bbc news, it's click.
10:47 pm
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 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.
10:48 pm
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. 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,
10:49 pm
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. 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!
10:50 pm
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 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
10:51 pm
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. 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.
10:52 pm
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 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
10:53 pm
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 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.
10:54 pm
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. 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?
10:55 pm
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, 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
10:56 pm
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 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
10:57 pm

10:58 pm
on behalf of everyone who has worked on this programme and there have been many, thank you very much, thank you for watching and taking part and we will see you soon. good evening. over the week ahead we will fluctuate between north—westerly winds and south—westerly winds but essentially it will stay rather unsettled, and it's a bit chilly out there at the moment with a few showers continuing through the night across northern areas of the uk but clearer skies around too. particularly across eastern scotland and later in england and wales. these are the overnight lows, and in rural areas, temperatures down to three or 4
10:59 pm
degrees, but it could be milderfor northern ireland where you have cloud and rain moving in. elsewhere, bright start, chilly start and the south—westerly wind freshened through the day. we may see rain and drizzle around the western hills of englund and wales, wetter weather coming into northern ireland over the irish sea and into northern england and particular scotland, not much rain for eastern scotland, and those are the wind strengths and picking up in many areas but drawing in milderair picking up in many areas but drawing in milder air despite the cloud and rain, so tablet is a little higher than today. —— temperatures a little higher than today.
11:00 pm
this is bbc news. i'm martine croxall. the headlines at 11:11: the headlines at 11:00: number 10 tells conservative mps that, if any of them vote to block a no—deal brexit next week, they will be prevented from standing for the party at the next election. the most powerful storm ever to reach the bahamas has now made landfall. catastrophic conditions are forecast. eighty years after germany attacked poland, the invasion that sparked world war ii is remembered. demand for palm oil in beauty products around the world fuels devastation in the rainforests. britain's johanna konta is throught to the quarter finals of the us open tennis tournament. and we'll be taking an in—depth look at the papers with our reviewers, the mirror's nicola bartlett, and the president of the foreign press association, benedicte paviot.
