hello, this is bbc news with lu kwesa burak. we'll be taking a look at tomorrow mornings papers in a moment. first, the headlines. prince andrew says he categorically denies having sex with a 17 year—old—girl who claims she was groomed by his friend jeffrey epstein. ican i can absolutely categorically tell you it never happened. do you recall any kind of sexual contact with virginia roberts then or at any other time? none whatsoever. the prince says he doesn't

regret being friends with the disgraced financier, even though epstein was convicted of sex offences. there are concerns about the cladding on a block of student flats in bolton engulfed by fire. labour agrees its election manifesto — jeremy corbyn says it will offer a once—in—a—generation chance for a better britain. wilson has continued its run! back up wilson has continued its run! back up the wilson has continued its run! back he post! and a boost for welsh hopes for euro 2020, with a 2—0 win over azerbaijan. hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are nigel nelson, the political editor at the sunday mirror and sunday people, and the political commentator, jo phillips, who was a press secretary for the liberal democrats. many of tomorrow's front

pages are already in. like many of the papers, the observer leads on the bbc‘s interview with prince andrew, and his comments that he couldn't have had sex with an underage teenager because he was ‘at home after a pizza party with his daughter'. the mirror focuses on the prince's denial of a claim from virginia roberts that he was sweating profusely, saying this couldn't be true because he didn't sweat at that period in his life. the mail on sunday also leads with that story, saying the prince didn't express any remorse at his association with the paedophile jeffrey epstein. meanwhile, the front page of the sunday express features a story about pensions, saying that labour plans to nationalise some utilities could risk private pensions. and the telegraph says that every

conservative parliamentary candidate has pledged to vote for borisjohnson‘s brexit deal if he gets a majority of seats in the upcoming election. that's just a flavour there of the front pages. let's start off with oui’ front pages. let's start off with our chat. really, many of the papers featuring in one way or another the interview that has just been added with princess —— prince andrew. that style with the observer. it is bizarre saturday night viewing but it seems to have gripped the nation. and as you just said, the observer says, i didn't have sex with teen, i was at home after a peter party. it was at home after a peter party. it was at home after a peter party. it was a pretty excruciating interview. he looked uncomfortable. one wonders what on earth possessed him to do it. it's an extraordinary thing to

be on tv at all. i think the extraordinary thing is the complete lack of empathy and the fact that he looked incredibly uncomfortable and he was rather rambling and vague, contradictory, and they sort of, well, this lack of remorse or anything, not just empathy well, this lack of remorse or anything, notjust empathy for the victims, whether or not he is involved, but he was a friend of jeffrey epstein and he came out with a wonderful phrase which many make less apparently looked startled, that it was unbecoming. jeffrey epstein, zach behaviour. that is not really how it would describe it. emily malus corrected him with exactly what the status was. clearly this interview was designed to clear the airand all this interview was designed to clear the air and all it seems to have doneis the air and all it seems to have done is muddied the waters. whoever was advising andrew and the word is that buckingham palace were very keen for him to do this interview, because to actually try and clear

his name, but some of the startling stuff that comes out of it, the young woman that he is alleged to have had sex with, which he denies, he claims that he can't remember her. now, we then get that picture of virginia roberts which keeps staring out of every newspaper for the last six months or so, so there was plenty of time to jog the last six months or so, so there was plenty of time tojog hundred's memory, he then suggests it might be a fake picture. well, maybe it is. but itjust a fake picture. well, maybe it is. but it just seems a fake picture. well, maybe it is. but itjust seems a very a fake picture. well, maybe it is. but it just seems a very odd a fake picture. well, maybe it is. but itjust seems a very odd kind of explanation for what was going on. let's turn to the mail, because as he said,jo, let's turn to the mail, because as he said, jo, what really came across, vertically towards the end of the interview, as emily malus gave him the opportunity to add anything else he'd like, and the paper says not one word —— not one single word of remorse. and this is

from the mail which is a royal supporting paper, this isn't a rampant left—wing antimonarchist thing. so, i think to get the stomach for what i think will be interesting is to see how the duke of york is associated now feel. i think he is patron or involved with about 200 charities. you know, are they going to want to have this association all the time... it is a question about judgment, and association all the time... it is a question aboutjudgment, and it is a question aboutjudgment, and it is a question aboutjudgment, and it is a question about as well what a bizarre place to do an interview, when you are talking about something of organised sexual exploitation by jeffrey epstein who was convicted and served a prison sentence, when andrew went out to stay with him in new york. he came out with this bizarre phrase that he went there to see him, because he is such an honourable man, to tell him he can be friends with him any more, but then stayed with him for a further

six days and said it was a convenient place to stay. i'm sorry, but if you are a prince, you can probably find some other convenient places to stay! it was interesting because social media often reflects, you know, the way the public is reacting. if you were following the interview and social media, what did come across with this idea of the british public and the public, just people watching around the world, not just british, it people watching around the world, notjust british, it was broadcast on bbc world news, came across very much as the real world of them and us. much as the real world of them and us. this is the odd thing about it. it may well be that the royal family don't live in quite the same kind of universe that the rest of us do, but there was a lack of humanity about this interview. however you cut it, whatever part andrew had in being friends with jeffrey epstein, i am not suggesting he did anything wrong, but they were victims here, we know they were victims, young

women had their lives ruined, and it seemed to be, despite all this misery that they all went through, prince andrew seemed to be talking all the way through about the misery of the scandal has caused him. there is this feeling that he had no kind of empathy for these people. and of course, is the mail says, actually showing no remorse for red, no regret for it, surely you regret what happened to these young women. and during the interview, we learned that he was involved with the nspcc as well, so really, picking up the charities. the sunday mirror, our finalfront—page charities. the sunday mirror, our final front—page dealing with this particular story, no sweat and no regret. some of the details we heard about. the inability to sweat. the peter restaurant in woking. what did you make of that? you probably would

remember going to that restaurant in woking. would you 7 remember going to that restaurant in woking. would you? well, you would if it was your only alibi. but you sort of thing, the whole thing, first of all, this is about a nightclub, the restaurant thing was about four or five o'clock in the afternoon, he said. but the sweating thing, he says he hasn't said she can't sweat because he was got too much dwelling when he was injected oi’ much dwelling when he was injected or something after —— adrenaline after the falklands. apparently, thatis after the falklands. apparently, that is possibly true. but itjust seems for the whole thing, as nigel says, it just is seems for the whole thing, as nigel says, itjust is all about him. and ijust think the says, itjust is all about him. and i just think the other thing is says, itjust is all about him. and ijust think the other thing is if you are going to do an interview like this, dad drew it in a grand drawing room in a palace. you know, do it somewhere that looks a bit more. . . do it somewhere that looks a bit more... i'm not sure about that. he

lives in palace. but he is using a re sta u ra nt lives in palace. but he is using a restaurant in woking... here he is talking about not remembering ever meeting virginia roberts. not that i didn't meet her, he doesn't remember it ever actually happening. yet he can remember, from all those years ago, being at a restaurant. maybe it was the only restaurant that —— of that particular company, that he had ever been to in his life. but i can't remember things like that from two or three years ago. his recollection as fine a one point, not on others. before we draw a lie on this, the royalfamily, the british public, is there...” on this, the royalfamily, the british public, is there... i think this is unfortunately, you know, i think most people in this country have anonymous respect for the queen but i think —— enormous respect for the queen but i think there are some

catastrophic errors ofjudgment. we saw that with harry and megan and we saw that with harry and megan and we saw a shot with princess diana and now we are seeing saw a shot with princess diana and now we are seeing it here. it is not helpful. we mustn't forget that this will be watched very closely united states. absolutely. let's turn to the telegraph, and every tory candidates isa brexit deal page. let's go back to the general election. indeed. this sort of confirms my suspicion is that an awful lot of the selections were basically rigged to get the right candidates in place. over the election period, i've been getting reports back of local tory associations being extremely upset with the candidates they were offered on their shortlist, local candidates who were pushed out, a numberof numberten candidates who were pushed out, a number of number ten aides who have been able to get seats. and what we get from the sunday telegraph is an interview with borisjohnson, he says, they all signed up pledge that

they will back my brexit deal in the commons. what he is saying is they won't be any more rebellions by tories because they are all signed up tories because they are all signed up to his policy. i do think that, you know, the idea that they are all going to go in like sort of good little boys and girls... lemmings? oreven lemmings, to little boys and girls... lemmings? or even lemmings, to support the prime minister as if they had no minds of theirown, prime minister as if they had no minds of their own, it makes a pretty grim election. if that's the choice you've got, to vote for somebody who just wants —— who just will do what borisjohnson wants you to do. they are still at their highest level since 2017. the polls at the moment... and interestingly, according to the telegraph, proxy support has dropped to its lowest level at 5%. but taking on the pulse together at the stage in the

campaign, and it can change, he would actually come back with a 50 seat overall majority. that isjust one pole and that is referred to in the front of the telegraph. let's go back to the observer and jeremy corbyn vows to protect the nhs from us drugs firms. obviously, jeremy corbyn had a meeting today to finalise what was going to be in a ma nifesto. finalise what was going to be in a manifesto. yes, now interestingly this isjeremy corbyn writing in the observer, and he makes quite a startling accusation, saying that boris johnson's startling accusation, saying that borisjohnson‘s government have covered up the details of secret talks that british and american officials have had to discuss greater access for american companies to the uk drugs market under a brexit trade deal. now, we know that american pharmaceutical companies are very keen to have access to this market. we also know that drug prices in america are on

average 250% higher. so, you know, the implications for that are extraordinary. not just the implications for that are extraordinary. notjust the gust the implications for that are extraordinary. not just the gust to patients but to the gust to the taxpayer. very quickly, nigel camilla is back to the sunday mirror, and pages eight and nine, dental health checks under labour.l new labour policy and in the event thatjeremy new labour policy and in the event that jeremy corbyn becomes new labour policy and in the event thatjeremy corbyn becomes prime minister, checkups at the dentist will be free. the great thing about this as this could actually save the nhs money in the long term because of the £22 70 charge you play now to go to of the £22 70 charge you play now to gotoa of the £22 70 charge you play now to go to a dentist, only half of us do. asa go to a dentist, only half of us do. as a result, we go to a&e, we go to out as a result, we go to a&e, we go to ourgps, you go as a result, we go to a&e, we go to our gps, you go get the checks you would go get educated densities. that is if you can find an nhs dentist. yes, but you store up problems along the way. that's it for the papers this hour. nigel and jo will be back at half past eleven for another look at the papers, and don't forget you can see

the front pages of the papers online on the bbc news website. and if you miss the programme any evening you can watch it later on bbc iplayer. thank you to nigel and jo. we'll all be back for that second review in about a0 minutes. now, it is click. it is kind of hard to remember a time when we didn't have taxi hailing apps. and when i say taxi hailing apps,

even though there are many more players out there, it is uber that comes to mind first. at its conception a decade ago, uber was really disruptive. the idea that you can have a taxi to you within minutes, it would know exactly where you work, you could see where it was and you didn't have to do have any money on you. it was revolutionary. the company grew at a rapid pace, becoming the highest valued start—up in the world. this, without ever turning a profit. in fact, in the last three months alone, uber lost an eye watering $5.2 billion. undeterred, uber continues to expand and has its name stamped on many apps that provide different types of services, all part of the so—called gig economy. it has faced a lot of backlash in many of the countries that it operates in, from taxi drivers who have been losing out because of the platform's aggressive pricing strategies

and from city authorities who have raised concerns over workers' rights and passenger safety. here in london the transport authority says it has concerns about passenger safety and it will decide later this month whether to renew uber‘s license. in the meantime, we have met up with a uber driver who has concerns too. although this is about how uber controls his livelihood. it is monday morning and i am catching a ride. like so many parts of the digital world, the gig economy was supposed to be a liberation. apps like uber were supposed to transform how you worked, work when you want, where you want. but many fear that whether it is the platforms and how they work or their data and how

it is collected, they don'tjust represent a liberation but also something else. a potent new form of control as well. what i was told is that the closest driver gets thejob. but i don't believe that to be right because what happens is i have seen customers sitting in my car trying to book a ride and it is not bouncing to me. it is actually going to drivers who are far away, five, ten minutes. that was something i really couldn't believe so we gave it a go. but although i was physically sitting next to him, the job went to someone several minutes away. uber has now introduced a system that aims to reduce the waiting time for everyone, notjust a particular passenger. and this may lead to the counterintuitive situation where your driver can get to someone else quickly and another driver can pick you up soon too. confused? well, so is hadi. and although the driver that gives some information he is struggling to understand what factors really determine how work is allocated.

in his five years of driving the work has become scarcer. it is becoming even more important to hadi to understand how the algorithm that actually allocates the work that exists. it is important but also unknown. you drive around all day thinking, maybe that is the best way to beat this algorithm or to meet up with the algorithm that has been set. i don't know what is going on. on average i used to work six to eight hours, five to six days a week. the number of days has not changed but the hours have increased. it is still 10 to 12 hours, five to six days a week. after costs are factored in, hadi says he and many of his colleagues are often struggling to make even the minimum wage. not only for him, but plenty of other drivers, it is the algorithm that lets him feed and clothe his family. it is cold, hard maths

but with tremendously human consequences. unfortunately, we all depend on the algorithm. what we want is it to be fair, to be transparent. that is the most important thing. there was only one way for hadi to figure out what was going on. asking for his data. and when he got it back, it made things even more confusing. james farrar established the worker info exchange to help people across the gig economy to actually make sense of their data. he told us the information hadi received refers to everything from speed to battery level, but crucially doesn't reveal the things he really wants to know, such as rates of pay or the actual time spent on the platform and not how to optimise his chances of earning more money. drivers always want to understand that they are getting a fair deal, that the value, the quality, the quantity of the work is fairly distributed. what uber has always

proposed to its workforce is that the workforce, the drivers are their own boss, they are free to make their own choices. they are effectively running their own business. but if that is true then i must be able to access the endless amounts of data i am creating for uber every day. but could it also be a matter of the complicated and hidden nature of the information algorithms involved? but a joint study between oxford researchers and uber itself found that on average drivers earned above london living wage and reported they were happier than the average worker across the city. critics questioned whether the full costs of being an uber driver have really been factored in when those figures were arrived at. the same arguments now playing out in the streets of london have happened in city after city across the world. in what might have been a global first, the powerful taxi and limousine commission in new york didn't just ask uber for data but demanded it. and until uber handed it over, they were banned from operating.

we found out that conditions were worse then what was being described to us by drivers. 96% of drivers were making less than the city's minimum wage. but without that information, you only have anecdotes. you have stories from drivers about low wages but you have no way to really quantify that and without quantifying it, you can't create a policy to bring those levels of wages up. in response, uber said that drivers were at the heart of everything they do and they are working to continue improve the experience of both drivers themselves and their passengers. hello, and welcome to the week in tech. it was the week disney officially entered the streaming market. and it didn't quite go to plan. disney plus finally went live in the us, canada and the netherlands but customers

reported technical issues with many unable to connect. disney said demand had exceeded its highest expectations. maybe ralph really did break the internet after all. in the fastest backflip and u—turn since well, sonic, the updated and redesigned hedgehog has been officially revealed in a new trailer for the upcoming live action movie. the original trailer drew a deluge of complaints and mockery over the original cgi design of sonic himself, forcing animators quite literally back to the drawing board. from spinning hedgehogs to back flipping robots, these footballing, flipping robots from mit are called the mini cheetah. its creators claim it is virtually indestructible and can write itself if it falls down. as well as some smooth soccer skills, it is also capable of walking over uneven terrain twice as fast as a human. let's hope it can climb trees. and finally, in other robot news, if you are one of those people that don't like speaking to the shop assistants, maybe you would rather direct your questions to one of these welcoming faces instead. this humanoid shop assistant

from russian company promobot can apparently show emotion and they claim they can make photorealistic clones like these dolls. will you be back? you decide. for those with serious food allergies, knowing exactly what you are eating can be a matter of life or death. when it comes to packaged food, the ingredients are normally clearly on the label plus a warning if it may contain traces of nuts or any other allergens. but when it comes to eating in someone else's house or in a restaurant, things get a little bit more complicated. if you want to add an extra level of checking what those ingredients are, i have been putting some technology to the test that might be able to help. this is...

there is a version that tests for gluten and another that tests for peanuts. the idea is you put in a small sample of the food that you are eating, as small as a pea, into one of these capsules. that goes inside the device which syncs up to your smartphone and you can find out whether the ingredient you can't eat is in it or not. i am going to put both of them to the test with this cookie, which should contain gluten but shouldn't contain nuts. the device uses antibody—based chemistry born out of mit technology to detect proteins or allergens. the company's algorithms then translate complex science into a smiley go ahead and eat it face, or not. this is a pricey occupation though. each one—time—use capsule currently setting you back five whole dollars. and the company does advise that this is an extra level of checking on top of your normal due diligence and of course carrying any medication.

ok, i can confirm that the device definitely got this correct. it says that gluten has been found. it comes up here on the device and you can see here on the phone, 12:30 today, gluten has been found. if i tap on that it gives me the option of notjust making a note for myself so i remember but also sharing the data to the nima database. as more people use these devices, that database will become a lot more valuable. let's give the peanut tester a go. you can do this with liquids or solids. and we have a result in the form of a smiley face. during my limited experiment the results were accurate but i am of course only testing a small piece of each bit of food so i am working on the basis that the ingredients are consistent throughout. so, of course, these devices don't eradicate the need for a doctor's diagnosis or checking what is in your food. but for some maybe they could provide an extra layer of reassurance.

that's all we have time for initial cut version. we are available on social media. thanks for watching and we will see you soon. ——. that's all we have time for on the short cut version of click. hello, again. we still have 70 flood warnings in rule —— force. we've got more patchy rain to come tonight and tomorrow as well. damp night for tonight. another system will bring rain to scotland and northern ireland, falling as snow over the high ground of the highlands. whether sky is clear for any length of time, we could be looking at

frost and chilly conditions to take us frost and chilly conditions to take us into sunday. that same zone of cloudy damp weather will continue to affect northern england, north midlands and wales on sunday. it won't rain all the time but don't wither from time to time. southern england, brighter conditions, but the best of the sunshine for scotla nd the best of the sunshine for scotland and northern ireland, there will be showers across northern areas as we go through the day, prolong showers in shetland. on monday, high looks likely to give us afine, monday, high looks likely to give us a fine, chilly but cold day but low pressure with rain gets pretty close to eastern england. that's your weather.

this is bbc news, i'm lukwesa burak. the headlines at eleven: in an exclusive interview with the bbc, prince andrew has denied having sex with a 17—year—old girl who claims she was groomed by his friend jeffrey epstein. he says he doesn't remember this picture being taken of him with the woman who claims she was forced to have sex with him land i and absolutely, land absolutely, categorically tell you, it's never happened. do you remember any kind of sexual contact with virginia roberts? none whatsoever. the prince says he doesn't regret being friends with the disgraced financier, even though epstein was convicted of sex offences. there are concerns about the cladding on a block of student
