the couple will pay back £21; million of public money spent on frogmore cottage in windsor, and will keep it as their home when they are in the uk. they will no longer get public funding for royal duties, and harry will resign from his official military appointments. senior south yorkshire police officers ignored sexual abuse of girls in rotherham by asian men, for fear of causing racial tensions, says the police watchdog. in other news, the chancellor, sajid javid, says there will be no alignment for businesses with eu regulations after brexit — business leaders say food prices could rise. hello, and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are nigel neslon, political editor at the sunday mirror and sunday people, and the political
10:32 pm
commentator, jo phillips. lovely to see you. many of tomorrow's front pages are already in, and as you can imagine, there's a running theme to them tonight! the sunday mirror's front page splash is, "queen orders a hard megxit", as it says harry and meghan have been ‘cut loose‘ by her majesty. the sunday express calls it "freedom at a price" — as the couple will have to stop using their royal titles and step down from all royal duties — meaning they'll no longer represent the queen. the sunday telegraph describes harry and meghan as being "cast out" — because they'll no longer receive public funds, and harry will be forced to give up his much official military patronages. the mail on sunday dubs it "the price of megxit" — referring to the £21; million of taxpayers‘ money spent on refurbishing frogmore cottage — which the sussexes have agreed to pay back. the sunday people says "harry and meghan are out in the cold", as they now plan to spend most
10:33 pm
of their time living in north america. and the observer leads on something else — a warning from borisjohnson to his cabinet that they must focus all their energy on developing policies for post—brexit britain — or face the sack. the paper still has room though, for a picture of the sussexes. on its front page. let's start with the sunday telegraph. the headline is, harry and meghan cast out, but there is a comment piece from the associate editor. the royal correspondent for the express, well known to us here. the green would never have let them have their cake and eat it, they say. will they feel like they have been cast at? this is what they have asked for. yum! this is what they have asked for, but they did want their cake and eat it and the green has just taken away
10:34 pm
the cake. it seems to me that it is taking a couple of weeks to get to this tradition and the green should have sorted out brexit because she has taken done a greatjob on this one. what she has done is fun, but proportionate and quite right. there was no way they could keep their titles. princess diana lost hers, sarah ferguson lost hers when they both got divorced from the royals, and there was no way they could actually not repay the £21; million for frog now cottage, actually not repay the £21; million forfrog now cottage, when actually not repay the £21; million for frog now cottage, when they want to live. in some ways, it is so arcane talking about titles like this, isn't it? yes, but there are questions about their sussex royal, which they had already trademarked oi'i which they had already trademarked on their website and i think it was going to be part of their financial independent future, so it may be that... but i think they are in quite a difficult balance because their only currency is as members of their only currency is as members of the royal family. and fame for that reason. so if they are not going to
10:35 pm
be working royals, they have got to manage it quite well because it will still reflect on green, and although meghan is married into the royal family, i think harry would probably not want to upset his grandmother. no. camilla poses the question of they have got their freedom, but at what cost? i wonder how much say they had in this because they would have been a bit of horse trading going on. i think there probably was, but what they have actually learned his decisions have consequences. they have decided they wa nt to consequences. they have decided they want to effectively leave the royal family. well, they are now paying the price for doing that and i think that on the title front thatjoe was just mentioning, i think it is quite important having hrh that they can use all the time. they have got to go out there now living in the world and they have got to trade off their royal connections. what you don't wa nt royal connections. what you don't want if they are going to support some commercial enterprise and just have the label of royal highness
10:36 pm
with it. the sunday people, a royal bombshell and they are out in the cold. they said they will wish to payback them money when they are in north america. and they are going to uphold the green's values, which makes commercial enterprise or the more tricky. the yes, that prince charles has done it with the duchy of cornwall produce with his own company. there are a range of cheeses and biscuits and lord knows what else. i don't know if it is very financially successful, that he has managed to do it like that. i suspect, and it would have been a very interesting, because i imagine that on the other side of the atlantic, meghan's pr people agents are used to cutting deals for tv shows and might have been quite surprised that the green is not somebody that you do deals with. no, that would clip your wings a bit. may i think there are kept. it's
10:37 pm
funny because we talk about them being financially independent but there is no suggestion they are going to lose the large sum of money that they get from prince charles. well, that is up to prince charles whether he wants to continue that. there are several questions that come into this. one of which is prince charles and the money, and also, will he pay for the security? that hasn't been sorted out yet. i do think they put taxpayer should pay for that as i don't think it is theirfault pay for that as i don't think it is their fault that they are at risk and therefore, security is provided by the taxpayer for anybody who is under threat, so it should be provided for them. de daily star on sunday. harry gets her trial of green there headline. the comparison that was made with regard to these security arrangements, which we don't know much about because they don't know much about because they don't discuss them, it is suggestion
10:38 pm
that if you are a former prime minister, you keep your details. we pay for that. yes, and i think ministers. it goes on forever and ever, so why wouldn't you? it is reviewed every year. accept that there is a slight element of you have ta ken there is a slight element of you have taken this choice... yes, but even so, it is not their fault that they are under threat. well, are they are under threat. well, are they under threat? yes i think they are. don't you? don't you think someone as are. don't you? don't you think someone as high—profile as prince harry? to a certain extent, but less so harry? to a certain extent, but less so when they are not doing this. harry? to a certain extent, but less so when they are not doing thislj am so when they are not doing this.” am not so sure. i've would have thought he would be a very interesting kidnap target or something like that, so either way he ought to have his security. tax? immigration? they went to fort about this so far, that they will have to think about it. i'm not entirely
10:39 pm
sure that meghan has got her residency sorted out as she is american, not canadian. yes, it came asa american, not canadian. yes, it came as a bit ofa american, not canadian. yes, it came as a bit of a shock to the canadian prime minister that they will be landing in his territory. i'm sure it will be a nice deflection for him. william and kate were very popular when they went on the canadian trip some years ago, and the republicans said they have set our course back many years because they are so popular. there will be so many people in north america. i wondered whether they would be an outpost at the winds are family but they are not, are they? it will be very different from that. it is not as if they will be the north american branch of the family. and then there's having your cake and eating it. ithink then there's having your cake and eating it. i think you're absolutely right. the important thing is they have left. they are finished with the royal family and any kind have left. they are finished with the royalfamily and any kind of working sends. and therefore, they
10:40 pm
are out there on their own. the mail on sunday. a price of an exit. this historic deal, they are free to make their money but will uphold the queen's values. some of this was about getting away from the scrutiny of the british media, that there will be scrutiny wherever they go. yes, that they are going to try to make money, they are only going to be able to make that money by having a profile. and by having a profile, what goes with that is scrutiny of your every movement. they came under a lot of fire for talking about climate change and the environment while they were slipping backwards and forwards on private jets and things. interestingly, the mail has got a little bit more detail about the queen's statement, which is an absolutely wonderful example of pure, businesslike, there's no going back from this, but also incredibly
10:41 pm
warm and supportive. yes, that is the important thing. there's a sadness about all of this. yes, 93 you would hope this wasn't going to happen. how much more hurt to think harry is an because i know there is unhappiness in the royal marines about the situation and how it did come about and be handled.” about the situation and how it did come about and be handled. i would have thought that is actually the bit that is going to hurt him the most. one thing about someone like harry is he kind of came of age by being the military. he appeared to actually hugely enjoyed his time that he spent in the army and was extremely upset when because the media found out, there was a media blackout when he went to afghanistan... foreign media found out he was there and he had to come out he was there and he had to come out early and he was upset about that. i think that absolutely drilled a hole in him on top of his
10:42 pm
mother's death. there he was doing something he absolutely loved and he had found himself, as much as we can tell, and as nigel says, it was the media that ruined it for him. elsewhere, beyond this story, the observer. prime minister to cabinet, shape up or i will sack you within weeks. we are not going to see ministers on the telly. we are not, no. ohjoy! ministers on the telly. we are not, no. oh joy! the initial ministers on the telly. we are not, no. ohjoy! the initial reaction ministers on the telly. we are not, no. oh joy! the initial reaction to this is wonderful, we're not going to be bored by ministers and they won't chuntering on. sorry, what do you do again is a job? are you a chief tantra ? you you do again is a job? are you a chief tantra? you are reporting on the chuntering. anyway what they prime minister is doing as he has told them they have got three weeks told them they have got three weeks to show that they are going to run the departments competently. he doesn't want them digging themselves
10:43 pm
up doesn't want them digging themselves up on the television, increasing their profile. it is an extraordinary thing to say. is a ten or is it dominic cummings? who is running the country, nigel? of course, there is the sinister bet, which is that means that the ministers who should be up for scrutiny won't be any more. but there is something, although we laugh... while you laugh. you are not allowed to be arranging lunches with journalists. but not allowed to be arranging lunches withjournalists. but this not allowed to be arranging lunches with journalists. but this comes off the back of a change in the way the parliamentary lobby are dealt with by numberten, and parliamentary lobby are dealt with by number ten, and has parliamentary lobby are dealt with by numberten, and has been parliamentary lobby are dealt with by number ten, and has been a lot of criticism that this isn't three and fair press —— free press. we know that borisjohnson fair press —— free press. we know that boris johnson wasn't fair press —— free press. we know that borisjohnson wasn't keen on going on television pedestrian election. no. this is about control and event appellation, that is what is behind it. it will be interesting
10:44 pm
to see what you ministers have to say about it. they could have very short stints in their departments, three weeks. no not very good for london's restaurant trade. the journalist expense account. we don't have that here. the telegraph. number ten to shut door on eu migrants two years early. this is low skilled migrants who might want to come over. young this is a bit of a surprise. this is to start, not when we are leaving the eu, but at the end of december, but that is less then a year away. cabinet is expected to sign it off. it has come from the home secretary. it is on a collision course, as this is absolutely against everything that the cbi, the confederation for british industry, has said that businesses need time to adjust. get rid of all these people and slammed
10:45 pm
the door and then, who is going to do theirjob? sajid javid says you have had time to get used to this. hardly, as we haven't actually left yet. maybe under theresa may, you will allow low skilled workers to come in under the present system until 2023. what is about the whole thing is on the eu settlement scheme, they have been curious about when the deadline is going to be, when the deadline is going to be, when you can actually apply for it. but it is all a bit... this desire, and all new governments tend to do the same thing, this desire to be seen to be getting something, but what they seem to be doing is slamming the door. slamming the door onjournalists and slamming the door. slamming the door on journalists and on slamming the door. slamming the door onjournalists and on migrants. slamming the door. slamming the door on journalists and on migrants. that is it for the paperjust now. nigel and jo will be back at 11:30 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. it's all there for you — 7 days a week at bbc.co.uk/papers — and if you miss the programme any evening, you can watch it
10:46 pm
10:47 pm
fire on a crowd of concert—goers across the road. he killed 58 people and injured more than 400. the incident sparked a review of security across the city but now it is being taken further. richard taylor has been looking at whether technology can stop would—be perpetrators in their tracks. here's the dilemma. how do you keep the world's entertainment capital safe for revellers, without turning it into a party pooping security fortress? a next—generation security solution... patriot one believes it has the answer. using unobtrusive sensors which generate information feeds which can be assessed to see if someone is carrying a weapon. this vegas casino resort is now rolling out the technology which has been in testing for the past two years. we have got various bits of hardware here... the system can be discreetly placed in, say, a building entrance or a turnstile — and unlike a metal detector, it creates an invisible fence you wouldn't
10:48 pm
even know was there. so if i'm carrying a concealed weapon on my person, or worse still with intent on an act of violence, the system as it is deployed here invisibly and these planters, the ai making a determination of whether this is benign and alerting security authorities to take the relevant action. the patscan device works on several levels. the one sensor emits residents frequency patterns that identify the shape of an object. another sensor creates a magnetic field and detects disturbances as an object passes through. but the real smarts lie in the ai algorithms. within seconds, they assess the sensor data against its own database to figure out if weapons are being hidden. with daily shootings in the us and a knife crime epidemic in the uk, the allure of a system to keep us safe
10:49 pm
is certainly seductive. we want to be in public schools, hotels, university campuses. we are now in the business of rolling it out, north america is the starting point, the uk market will be extremely important to us, particularly when it comes to knives because of the knife crime crisis. but groundbreaking as the tech is, it is largely unproven. how accurate is your system? because when it comes to ai, the machine is only as good as the data that you are feeding it. we have been out for a long time now with tremendous partners like westgate who have allowed us to get a lot of data here. we have built sufficiently large data holdings that we now have confidence in the accuracy of our systems. enough confidence that we are now into our first commercial deployment. our early adopters also understand that the systems get better and better the more data is fed in, so they are equally allowing us
10:50 pm
to ingest data for training the system. still, the system isn't100% accurate or foolproof, an assailant may well get into the premises another way entirely, or a weapon could be hidden in something different like a metal box. so an additional security layer is needed. so if i'm openly brandishing a weapon, that is where the eyes of the system kick in, a so—called machine vision where a security camera can make an assessment based on what is in my hand, based on what is in its database and if it finds it is likely to be a weapon, then it will trigger a relevant alert. the idea of augmenting human eyes with the smarts of computer vision is catching on globally. a number of outfits promising enhanced security through person and object detection. but understandably, that leaves many people uneasy. we are very conscious of the fact that people don't want to live in a mass surveillance society. so there are very different ways in which you can collect data. we don't capture any personal
10:51 pm
information or store or distribute personal information. we are looking for objects — people are of no interest to us unless they are carrying a threat object. so what our ai has been trained to recognise is the threats. it is not making any determination on people or capturing personal information or generating a body image. i think that puts us on the right side of that line between too much surveillance and not enough security. no, this is not a pair of goggles, it is the prototype of an air purifying mask. the finished product will look like this. with claims it is 50 times more effective than the market leading cycling mask, the ao air uses nanotechnology and air pressure to filter out harmful particulate matter. apparently, the prototype is a lot less comfortable than the finished
10:52 pm
version and this is a size too large and i need a smaller one. ifeel like my nose is being held and i probably sound like that. it will take some getting used to but it is actually adjusting according to my respiration rate, so right now the fan speed is at 16%. i can make the fan go up more if i want more air to be pumped. i feel like i'm at the dentist. imagine what i could do — i certainly couldn't run like this but maybe ride a bike. i don't know. it has five hours battery life and in time, the device will be miniaturised. but despite the fact that i thought i looked completely and utterly ridiculous, it has actually made it to the catwalk, featuring in new york and seoul fashion weeks. back on the show floor, there was also the sixth finger. sixto is a device for people who have limited mobility in one hand, so could be due to a stroke or something like that. the way it works is, you position the bad hand where it needs to grab something and this joystick, which will be held
10:53 pm
in the good hand, is used to be able to close the device so you can actually pick something up. one of the other benefits of this is that it actually encourages somebody to use a hand which isn't functioning properly rather than holding their arm in a position where it is likely to get stiffer. but in the depths of one slightly more secret meeting spot, came this view into the future. this is a contact lens that provides augmented reality. apparently, it fits like any other scleral or semi—permeable contact lens. this could be used for something like translation, the words would come up in front of you when you are having a conversation with someone. the idea is that this is all about invisible computing, that something like this should be less intrusive than having your phone in front of you. wow! that is incredible! in a way, the fact that there is little enough information for it to not be totally distracting makes it better. i think if they put too much up it
10:54 pm
would become too overwhelming. while i wasn't allowed to wear it, just holding it up, i could see some simple stats right before my eyes, which having been sceptical in advance, i was pretty blown away by. so how is it possible to fit all of this into the lens? we've had to build our own wireless protocol between the contact lens and another wearable accessory, because we had to manage power and data and size of chip, and that accessory connects to your mobile phone or the cloud, to access additional computing resources and information. it is very comfortable, fits to your eye and corrects your vision when you wear it. so if you have a prescription, we build the prescription into the lens. heart rate, speed, and even with your eyes shut, you would able to see this because it is lit up and obviously the lens is sitting beneath your eyelid. it feels seriously sci—fi. and there you have it — what to wear, to see and feel the future.
10:55 pm
there, never taken that photo before. the thing about coming to las vegas straight after christmas is you eat lots of food followed by lots more food. and chris fox has decided that he is going to use technology to help knock him back into shape. this is what he has found. these three new apps are designed to help with your fitness goals using image recognition, machine learning and motion sensors. but are any of these apps advanced enough to replace a personal trainer? i've come to the gym to find out. first up, is vay sports, which uses image recognition and a selfie camera to make sure you're doing the exercises properly. you choose a trainer and put the phone a few metres away and follow the instructions in your headphones. great, i can see you. here we go with push—ups today.
10:56 pm
get into the starting position so i can se you at all times. based on what the camera sees, the app gives you feedback to correct your form. you call that a rep, your hips are a bit too high up. it also counts how many reps you do properly so you can track your progress. nice work. how are the back of the arms feeling? at the moment the app only works with body weight exercises so to move on to weight training, i'm trying gymfitty, a virtual trainer you can talk to. i'm done. rest for two minutes. how many reps did you do? 10. well done! let's do another set. the app creates a bespoke workout tailored to your goals and it remembers how well you did last time so you don't have to log your workout or write anything down. i want you to add another five kilograms to each side of the bar. ping me when you are done. to relax, i'm finishing off with some yoga. this is yoganotch, which uses motion tracking sensors to detect my position and correct my form which, fairwarning, is
10:57 pm
going to be terrible. not quite. give me the chime, i'm doing it. chime. i got a chime, i did it right. i'm not sure whether setting up these senses every time will take some of the zen out of yoga, although the company says it is more accurate than using image recognition. oh, come on. these apps certainly add a layer of interactivity to a workout, but can they match the kind of encouragement you get from a human personal trainer? and there you have it, a downward facing dog from a forward facing fox. was that cheesy? we are in vegas, you know. although next week, we won't be. we're going to la. and there is more in the full—length version which you can see on iplayer. don't forget, you can find us all across social media, youtube, instagram, facebook and twitter. thanks for watching and we will see you in la.
10:58 pm
hello there. high pressure has brought a change to our weather, part one of the weekend was sunny but cold for many of us. it looks like the next few days should be largely dry thanks to the high—pressure area with some sunshine, later wins but the night will be cold with frost and some fog in places. here it is, the high—pressure air which built entering the saturday push the showers and the stronger winds northwards. so, it should be a drier night for the northern aisles but a called one across the board, with temperatures dipping well below freezing in towns and cities and hard frost expected in rural places. it will be a cold start to sunday underneath this area of high—pressure, but light winds continue. you notice more isobars and some weather fronts flirting
10:59 pm
with the northwest corner of the uk. so here, it will be breezy and some more cloud across the northwest of scotland, perhaps a few showery bursts of rain for the northern isles, but not so cold here. nine or 10 degrees due to the mild south—westerly, but for the south, it is going to be cold but sunny.
11:00 pm
