10:31 pm
on the 14th ofjune. hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are uk correspondent for france 2a and the president of the foreign press association, benedicte paviot and i'm alsojoined you're impressed. i think bonnie has just introduced yourself there. by new european columnist and playwright bonnie greer. many of tomorrow's front pages are already in and almost all focus on the london bridge attack. the observer leads on borisjohnson announcing that those convicted of the most serious terror offences
10:32 pm
should never be released from prison. the telegraph says the prime minister will order a review of dozens of violent terrorists released from prison in recent years. the sunday mirror has an exclusive picture of usman khan buying fast food shortly before the attack. the sunday people leads on a tribute to one of the victims, jack merritt, from his father who describes him as a "beautiful spirit who took the side of the underdog". the sunday express claims thejustice system is playing russian roulette with people's lives by allowing terrorists back on the streets. the independent has an interview with former top prosecutor nazir afzal, who says he warned borisjohnson about releasing terrorists who had not been deradicalised. and the mail on sunday is alleging further impropriety from prince andrew in his role as a british trade envoy. buckingham palace has defended him saying he was representing british
10:33 pm
companies, not individuals. those are front pages. what's start off with our chat. you have finished introducing yourselves?” off with our chat. you have finished introducing yourselves? i was caught off guard by this... let's start with the front of the telegraph. kick us off. i want to pay should be to this young manjack merritt. this was a bridge builder, simple as that. he had an incredible education. he could have been and done anything but he chose to try and bring people together. and he chose to try to help people who couldn't help themselves. he was a great human being and we've lost a great human being and we've lost a great human being and we've lost a great human being. that's the first thing i'd like to say. and condolences to his family and friends. he is a great person. a
10:34 pm
great person, 25—year—old. the second thing i would like to say is yeah i am very angry because... the conservatives particularly boris johnson actress of some sort of other group of people were in charge of the home office, in charge of the terrorism programme, in charge of the prison service, in charge of the police. there was some other party. it was them. it was the conservatives. they cut the prison service, they messed around with all these different programmes and now suddenly boris chose off some kind of top hat and tries to tell us in some way that he is going to do this, he is going to do that. they have been in charge since 2015. why is it this way? and one newspaper and we will get to it, boris tries to talk about 2008. somehow 2008 was responsible for this. i don't think the british electorate should wear
10:35 pm
this, i don't think they should take it. they should hold the conservatives to account. this boy, this young man, this young man tried to do his best and probably try to do his best because the rehabilitation services were caught because there were things that were not in place. that's what he was trying to do. ijust want to say that and i hope people are not fooled by whatever boris johnson that and i hope people are not fooled by whatever borisjohnson is saying. this is on their watch. they are responsible for this. two of course this young man must be... i can't imagine what his families going through. this is extraordinary. and it was interesting and important to hear from new scotland yard this evening saying that they believe that nobody else is involved with this. we then got that claim of responsibility which is a classic from the so—called islamic state but of course a young man who had
10:36 pm
everything before him and who was trying to make a positive difference, and suddenly this 28—year—old man who had been convicted of terrorism. what's a member he was accused and found guilty of wanting to with others bow up guilty of wanting to with others bow up the london stock exchange, bill -- kill up the london stock exchange, bill —— kill boris johnson up the london stock exchange, bill —— kill borisjohnson by the way which is not mentioned as much, and clearly had links with al-qaeda. it really poses for all of our countries, i refer to britain, france and others notjust returnees from syria and iraq but people who get infected with this kind of ideology actually fire the internet and small groups. and it is such ace —— hard thing for the intelligence services. we do live in democracies and it is the most cctv country so we can have these pictures of usman khan buying chicken. i don't know how interesting that is to come in three days before. the problem of
10:37 pm
deradicalisation programmes, the money, the time this takes. this is a paper review so the sunday telegraph talks about fury and this comes in the middle of a general election. asap general election wanted by two borisjohnson before he became prime minister vying for the leadership. and what the telegraph on the front pages talking about is that he is very angry over 73 -- 70 about is that he is very angry over 73 —— 70 free terrace and he's going foran 73 —— 70 free terrace and he's going for an immediate review of dozens are violent terrorists in recent years and apparently, as of monday i think it is, the ministry ofjustice is launching an urgent inquiry to examine the licence conditions of up to 70 of them. what is interesting is neil bass who said that it would seem a is neil bass who said that it would seem a decision investigation had all the licences. it seems that despite the electronic tag that monitoring was being followed. west
10:38 pm
turned to the independent. as we look at the front page of the independent. this goes with warnings that have been issued over the risks of freeing terrorists. boris johnson is saying that he is going to get tougher. it is not something the electorate are going to want to hear? may be in this country. where i come from, if you have actually been running the show and you turn around and say i'm going to get tougher, the electorate says "you're out the door" because you are supposed to have done this before. it's too late. this prosecutor, this former prosecutor who was all over twitter saying basically "he had a kind of a conversation with boris johnson, i think is there passing through, and his was... "we need money. " that's what we need to have. we need this to be funded. we need the funding to go up and we know in 2000, whenever the siebel
10:39 pm
got into office, the first thing they decide to do was austerity, cut they decide to do was austerity, cut the numbers, he warned that there was going to be a problem, a big problem in the radicalisation programme and boris johnson problem in the radicalisation programme and borisjohnson was quoted saying basically "let's talk about something else possible. he was not the prime minister then, he wasn't in charge of anything, but this was his party and if he is dissing anybody, he is dissing the tory home secretary of his party. that's who he is guessing. tory home secretary of his party. that's who he is guessinglj tory home secretary of his party. that's who he is guessing. i think there is a feeling across the country and there has been a long time in the and that people are seem to be found guilty of serious offences, phone ones, terrorists, and then they get these custodial sentences and we hear things about indeterminate sentences etc. and that they are out in no time and to release somebody who is really so... they are need to be checks it seems that the parole board. you can't do
10:40 pm
it unless you have programmes where people understand that radicalisation is a religion. it is not a political act. it's not something people decide to do. this isa something people decide to do. this is a religious gesture and we have to deradicalise people. it takes a long time to do this. is a distorted form of religion. i had a look at the prosecutor's twitter feed and as we turn to the sunday express because it does link, he talks about focusing on numbers and not people and paying tribute to... to the family who lost their son. and he also talked about "we need to look at your sentences and unnecessary detention." as that not a message? say again, sorry. "we have to conan sentences, we have say again, sorry. "we have to conan sentences, we have unnecessary detention. —— sentences, we have unnecessary detention. —— your conan sentences".
10:41 pm
the front dissing softjustice is playing russian roulette with our wives. same as the american. the criminal justice wives. same as the american. the criminaljustice prison sentences in this country have to be about rehabilitation because there is no other remedy. if we don't rehabilitate people in the long term or the short—term, we are going to have a problem. because there is no remedy to it up to anything else. we don't want any other remedy. we have got to rehabilitate people, that is money, education. and this jack merritt, this young man and his organisation as a leader, he was trying to do something in that area. he was trying to do something. he was trying to plug a gap. he was trying to build a bridge. he was trying to build a bridge. he was trying to build a bridge. he was trying to do that and that bridge was taken out from underneath him. carrying on with us but we will turn to the front of... we would turn to the front of the observer as you had
10:42 pm
your there. it is clearly in the ce ntre your there. it is clearly in the centre of the election campaign. and i believe that jeremy corbyn centre of the election campaign. and i believe thatjeremy corbyn in another paper is going to be making another paper is going to be making a speech actually on sunday appearing to suggest to quote the sunday express that donald trump's unconditional i am quoting "support for the israel a far right has helped fuel the terrorist on british streets" and he will say again quoting a book for far too long our country's leaders have made the wrong calls on our security. the blame lies with the terrorists, theirfunders, and blame lies with the terrorists, their funders, and recruiters. " blame lies with the terrorists, their funders, and recruiters." is it right to make that an issue at this time when this attack has happened? on the front of the observer does say that labour are actually criticising tony blair and jeremy corbyn is a saying that "i told you 16 years ago about this..."
10:43 pm
it is really mature in a very different way, in a similar way about the nhs and social care. it's not about throwing numbers. there's a famous saying of a french politician that set up a politician's promises if you're silly enough and says to believe them." i heard silly enough and says to believe them. " i heard just silly enough and says to believe them." i heardjust summoning people say to me from all walks of life "you know politicians lie." and i find myself bizarrely in the position as an international journalist travelling and meeting all kinds of people which is the way all kinds of people which is the way a journal should be in touch, normal stuff with real people. this is not a good situation to be and where there is that kind of scepticism. i think it is true about custodial sentences. if somebody is found guilty on the one hand of something very serious, they need to do the time. but equally, i do hear what you are saying and there does need to be rehabilitation programmes. one of the things in france for example
10:44 pm
far from perfect, of the things in france for example farfrom perfect, nothing is perfect, but there are programmes for example in prison of ensuring that they are in separate cells saba you don't want to use france as an example in this. -- you don't want to use france as an example for this. rebuild tatian is another option because we don't do anything else with people who are convicted. they have to be rehabilitated. —— rehabilitation. you can use rehabilitation. you can use rehabilitation and call it whatever you like but we have to be rehabilitated. what we do need in this campaign are we tell politicians who know what people talk about at the table, not these theories. retail politician, someone who knows their talk but at the table where they talk about in the pub, whether we talk about this kid, this boy, and how do we make sure this boy, and how do we make sure this does not happen again in a prison system which keeps people in prison? and the conservatives have
10:45 pm
failed and it's as simple as that. if the tories get back in at mr johnson in the sunday express and a few says he pledges that urgent changes the law will be made in the new year if he wins majority. we can discuss in our next addition at 11:30pm whether sentence means a sentence. we will talk about that. hope you can join sentence. we will talk about that. hope you canjoin us sentence. we will talk about that. hope you can join us for that. benedicte and bonnie will be back at 11.30 for another look at the papers. next on bbc news, it's time for click.
10:46 pm
i lost my sight seven years ago. navigating the world can feel like a huge challenge, even with my gorgeous guide dog, olga. i usually use my guide dog willow to get around, but today, we're trying out a new device — the wewalk smart cane. i think olga's a bit confused with the cane. laughs. the device has a round sensor to detect obstacles. i've paired it with my smartphone and airpods to send me directions. so my airpods pick up the information from my phone and the navigation system reads it out to me. when we got there it said, "starbucks now on your right". and, yeah... by then we could smell it anyway, couldn't we? when i was using the cane, it was always vibrating. that's buzzing a lot. is it? yep. yeah, the buzzing got really quick. so i knew that i was in front
10:47 pm
of something that was quite a large obstacle. this might be an improvement for some cane users, but personally, i've found the feedback slightly overwhelming. i could imagine it could probably get quite difficult to detect what's important and what's not important. i was excited to show maisy an app named microsoft soundscape that uses sd sound to point you in the right direction. you can hear the sound as if it's around you and it's like you're in the software almost. phone: facing south-west along world piazza. when you're tuned in to the app, it will name nearby shops and restaurants. it even highlights what's on the pavement. is there bike parking in front of us? one useful tool is the ability to set an audio beacon, say, if you want to find your local supermarket... 65 metres west. it's making this tip—tap sound. tapping sounds help guide us in the right direction,
10:48 pm
although we did manage to walk past the shop door. i think you don't quite believe that it's to the right of you. at least we had our guide dogs to help us find the entrance. at home, some of the simplest tech can actually be the most useful. beeping. but big tech companies, like apple, google and amazon are also trying to make their technology better for people like me. most of the time, i use my smartphone and apple watch. it's so great that it can connect to my apple tv and you can get it to play your favourite moments. lots of smart speakers now have audiobook services. one new and particularly unusual audiobook is called unseen. it's the first ever audio comic book. when you hear this sound... that is so cool. cover — the word "unseen" in bold letters. oh, amazing!
10:49 pm
no—one ever does that — that's the typeface... describing the pictures and each panel, which is the big part of comic books. i can't wait for unseen's creator, chad allen, to release the next segment. i don't know who the hell you are... imitates: i do not know who the hell you are! i was also excited to try a new device from bristol braille technology. this device that i have in front of me is called the canute and this is the very first ever several—line braille display. it sounds like a typewriter! using buttons at the base of the device, you can upload books, pdfs and documents. the multi—line layout is great forfeeling diagrams. it's an easier and quicker way to read. that's nice that you can use something like this and not have audio on, constantly all the time. are we reading braille? yes. i was even more impressed with the next device we tried —
10:50 pm
a pair of orcam smartglasses. these use a camera and artificial intelligence to read the text around you. and you can use touch, voice and gesture commands to change its settings. so what are you doing, maisie? so i have a magazine and if i point ata line... reads: i always say that there are... it's reading it! we surprised maisie with a book from one of her favourite authors. kaitlyn dunnett. cool! the orcam tells you the time. the time is 3:29pm. yay! and can name who is standing in front of you. of course, i wanted to see if we could get it to recognise maisie. the device does this by remembering the unique points of a person's face, a bit like a map. maisie. oh, yeah!
10:51 pm
high five, blind girl high five. we also tried a new feature — the ability to scan food product barcodes. this was a hit. tomato cup—a—soup! remember to hold your item about a foot above the counter top. alexa, what am i holding? i was really excited to test the new amazon echo show feature. you hold a food item in front of the screen camera and move it around until the device tells you what the item is. it was difficult knowing whether the item was centre screen, and this threw up some less—than—accu rate results. show me another side. it looks like vanilla coca—cola... oh, my god. that's cool. i have done that so many times — like, i've picked up cherry diet coke by mistake. yeah! we also have been told that that wasn't vanilla coca—cola and just regular coca—cola. you would have to really nail
10:52 pm
getting your snapshots correct to find this useful. it was so great to try all the technology throughout the day. the wider the choice of tech, the better for everyone. not everything today was a complete success, but the impact that blind tech can have continues to surprise me. i'm really excited about the future of accessibility tech. some fantastic innovations there, spen, and one thing becoming clear in this programme isjust how much is out there enabling people to be more empowered and to live more independently. and for people with learning disabilities, for example, there are plenty of innovations to help them do just that. paul has been to meet someone for whom the internet of things is helping to make life just that little bit more easy. this is adam. adam has down syndrome and lives in his own home, which includes some specially designed technology to allow him
10:53 pm
to live more independently. here he is using a tablet that contains a range of bespoke applications to help him with tasks in everyday life. in this instance, cooking. so can you show me what you've got on here, adam? app: sift three cups of plain flour into a big mixing bowl. make a well in the centre of the flour. here, it shows step—by—step instructions with pictures. but the technology goes much further than just recipes. it's part of a project called connected living — a partnership between the learning disability charity mencap and telecoms company vodafone. the platform utilises a range of technologies bundled together under one roof — literally. app: i am afraid. from smart home devices and iot—based sensors to more simple reminders, to—do lists and instructions.
10:54 pm
a lot of it is stuff that quite a lot of people are familiar with. smart lighting is not a particularly new concept, smart locks are not a particularly new concept, but what we have done is we have packaged it altogether and put it into this user interface which has been tailored very specifically so it is user—friendly and it is intuitive to use. we started off with a very, very long list of things — these can be quite small things — but things that people might want to achieve and then we gave the list to vodafone and we said "what are the technological solutions to that?" we whittled it down to the things we felt and we heard were most commonly going to be of importance to people. technology is in all our lives, really, at the moment nowadays and will continue to be so, so we want to make sure people with learning disabilities are not disadvantaged by not being able to access technology. it is designed to be customisable to each individual user, with the hardware and software tailored to their needs and personal abilities. app: i am thirsty. the platform blends smart home technologies with things adam can
10:55 pm
use outside the home too, such as video calling a support worker if he needs assistance, or as a communication aid. hi there, you all right? yeah, you? good. what would you do with the options on this screen? ok, so you can tell them where you want to go. which are your favourite? what do you like to do the most? app: let's go to the pub. sounds good to me. is that good? do you like that? laughter. that's good! we like tech too! there are 4.1 million people in the uk with learning disabilities who could use this, but also there are wider applications. if you think about people who go into homes as they get older, they still want to be independent,
10:56 pm
they still need their flexibility, this can help them. you and i, we want to be independent, we want to do our own thing and actually, if technology can help people to do that, then it means that you have greater control, you are feeling more independent, and the amount of confidence that has really increased in people is fantastic. most importantly of all, though, how does adam feel about his smart connected home? supported, yeah. mmm, supported. that was adam and his mum. truly, truly lovely stuff. and we will continue to keep across all of this area of inclusive design and technology throughout the year, as we always do on click. this is the short version of this week's click. the full version is waiting
10:57 pm
for you right now on iplayer. in it, you can see paul in iceland, looking at the design, manufacture and testing of the iconic prosthetic running blade. in the meantime, you can contact us with your thoughts of what you've seen on instagram, youtube, twitter and facebook. thanks very much for watching and we will see you soon. we have got a frost developing across many parts of the country now and towards the south west of england it has been a bit milder, we still have cloud, more of a breeze and a few showery burst of rain that will help south towards the channel finals. wales and the midlands, there will be more mist and fog
10:58 pm
overnight, a few showers coming into overnight, a few showers coming into east anglia. north of here will have the coldest and clearer skies away from some showers near the northern coast, particularly the north of scotland. further south where there is more of a breeze and a bit of cloud, those temperatures, in terms of frost, a little more marginal. but with more of a breeze tomorrow, that were left in the mist and fog more regularly in those places and they will be dry and sunny by late morning. a few showers continuing on the far north and north—east of scotland, one or two near the north sea coast as well. more of a noticeable breeze for of the uk and for the first day of december, these are the temperatures, similar to what we had today, not quite so mild but at least sunnier in the south west.
10:59 pm
11:00 pm
this is bbc news. the headlines at 11. tributes are paid to the first victim to be named in the london bridge attack. cambridge graduate jack merritt, was running a prisoner rehabilitiation conference — to which his attacker had been invited. police have commended the actions of members of the public, including convicted criminals who overpowered the knifeman. it is already clear that this cowardly act was immediately countered by some incredible act of bravery both by members of the public and from police officers. it's emerged that usman khan had been released on licence for his involvement in planning terror attacks. and in other news, millions of commuters will have to pay
