hello and welcome to bbc news. 1a people are going on trial in paris today, in connection with attacks in 2015 on the satirical weekly, charlie hebdo, and a jewish supermarket. 17 people were killed in three days of violence around paris, carried out by brothers, cherif and said kouachi, and ahmedy coulibaly. the attacks sparked large protests in defence of freedom of speech across france. our paris correspondent, hugh schofield, has this report. five years ago, this picture is brought france face—to—face with a new kind of horror. shouting, we have avenged the profit, the brothers emerged from the office of charlie hebdo where they have just killed 11 people. in the getaway, they kill a 12, a policeman. it is the start of a frantic two days where the two are cornered at a print works

north of paris and shot at. in the meantime, there has been another islamist attack. this timea another islamist attack. this time ajewish another islamist attack. this time a jewish supermarket with four hostages dead. before they, too, lisa killed the assailant. ahmedy coulibaly who has previously put out a message of support for islamic state. translation: the french prosecutor recalled what he first saw when he saw the charlie hebdo office. it was surreal. there was a powerful silence and the smell of blood and gunpowder. the room was carnage. it was no longer a crime scene. it was a war zone with bodies piled up one on top of the other. it was frightful. charlie hebdo attack here marked the start of a long violent period. the bataclan attack which changed france. now with the first time, there isa now with the first time, there is a gesture tell the story and put it on record. who did what,

who knew what, who, if anyone, gave orders. the killers are dead so it is the alleged backroom conspirators who are on trial in this special court room. 14 in all, some of whom it is claimed gave weapons, others phone or money. three, including the wife will not be in court because they fled to syria just after the attacks. in the immediate aftermath, the world was outraged. hundreds of thousands marched in sympathy for the dead and to support the right of antireligious satirists to speak freely and to offend. five years on, though, some say the issue has become lukewarm. translation: today, freedom of expression has been lost in france. it still exists on paper but do it at your risk if you draw the profit so no, the lesson was not learned. —— prophet.

profit so no, the lesson was not learned. -- prophet. the two—week trial is being filmed for france's national archives so for france's national archives so future generations can look back maybe learn. you schofield, bbc news, paris. the small city of kenosha in wisconsin has become the front line in the battle for the white house, and on tuesday, donald trump himself paid a visit. he went to stress the need for law and order after days of protest — some violent. but the family ofjacob blake, the black man whose shooting at the hands of police triggered the unrest, say he was disrespectful. and they called for a president who could unite america. aleem maqbool reports. officials here feared a visit by donald trump would reignite tensions. so now you want to put him in a headlock! and as he rolled into town, people took to the streets again. and arguments flared up between black lives matter protesters and trump supporters. i was asked the other day by somebody saying,

"do you think it's good that trump is coming?" i said, "yeah." they're like, "well, don't you think it's going to cause dissent?" i go, "have you seen our city? !" when he arrived, the president did view some of the damage caused during the protests, and met law enforcement agencies. he called the demonstrations "anti—police and anti—american." violent mobs demolished or damaged at least 25 businesses, burned down public buildings and threw bricks at police officers, which your police officers won't stand for and they didn't stand for it. these are not acts of peaceful protest, but really domestic terror. my administration coordinated with the state and local authorities to very, very swiftly deploy the national guard and federal law enforcement to kenosha and stopped the violence. this did all start with the shooting seven times by an officer ofjacob blake. but his family said they didn't want to see the president. all i ask is that he keep his disrespect,

his foul language far away from our family. we need a president that's going to unite our country and take us in a different direction. in any case, donald trump's focus has been law and order, looting and burning, not racial injustice. it's just a deflection, you know. it'sjust like, "oh, look at this property damage." but, look at the fact that this cop shot this man. i think what has happened over the last week has just shown how deep the racism that exists in this country is and how it shows up in any town from chicago to kenosha. in part, she is referencing the way in which the president has defended this 17—year—old who shot dead two protesters while condemning people like her who took to the streets. four more years! what has undoubtedly been exposed by the events here has been the stark polarisation of american society. would i love to shake your hand. we did see brief moments of coming together between trump supporters and detractors, but right now,

this feels like a rarity. aleem maqbool, bbc news, in kenosha, wisconsin. well shortly after events wound up, the bbc spoke with jacob's unclejustin blake, blake family friend tanya mclean and alvin owens, who runs a barbershop and was tear gassed while he was protesting. first, here's tanya describing how all this has been for kenosha. we're just a small town, we're a peaceful people, just get on with day—to—day life. nothing major happens here. there are some issues here in our town with division, but we've never seen anything like this. what is rough is watching a video of a black man being gunned down seven times. what is rough is with one week we had a fire in up town there in

out had a fire in up town there in our city and then four days to five days later, we had looters from god knows where that we didn't recognise tear up our city and tear down the other house of up town. it is rough. however, the president is 100% incorrect and he told a lie and he called protesters peaceful protesters or nonviolent protesters. domestic terrorists. we all know in america who the terrorists are and what they are and what they do. the citizens and residents of kenosha are not that. he is a soldier. he is hanging in there. he is the epitome of blake men, going through many struggles but still turning it into great success. he is stuck in the moment before he was shot.

he knows something is going on. there is help from different organisations. kenosha, milwaukee, chicago and beyond. the man known as comrade duch has died. he was one of the most notorious senior figures from the genocidal khmer rouge regime in cambodia, in the late 1970s. duch was the first khmer rouge commander convicted of crimes against humanity by a tribunal, backed by the un. he was jailed for life in 2012. he ran the notorious tuol sleng prison where thousands of men, women and children were tortured and murdered. many of the guards he controlled were teenagers. it's believed as many as two million people died in the so—called killing fields of the khmer rouge, the maoist regime that controlled cambodia from 1975 to 1979. five years ago today, one of the most shocking images of the migrant crisis in europe emerged: the body of a syrian toddler, alan kurdi, washed up on a beach in turkey. he had drowned, along with his mother and five—year—old brother, in a desperate attempt to reach greece, and safety, in europe.

his death became a symbol of the suffering of migrant families, and the dangers they faced. his father survived, and he's been speaking to our correspondent hanan razek. a warning that this piece contains upsetting images. he would have been seven years old this year. acro two, the toddler whose body washed ashore after the boat that was carrying him and his family capsized in the mediterranean sea because of his mum and brother also died. only the father survived. five years on, a colour is trying to rebuild his life. —— abdullah four. he has had another son whose name is alan. translation: i named him after his brother alan so i

remembered him. god sent me a child who looks like alan and has the same character. can't wait to go home to see him. i feel he is a godsend. but the shadows of the past are still alive. translation: it is impossible to forget what happened. i only blame myself but i was forced to do as a father because i could picture them ina father because i could picture them in a school and they wa nted them in a school and they wanted a better life. but it didn't go as i planned. i regret it. alan's that shook the world. it led europe opening its doors opening its doors and hearts to refugees and taking in over 1,000,020 15. last year, a german charity named one of its rescue ships alan kurdi. the ship has helped rescue almost 700 migrants in

the mediterranean waters between libya and southern europe but it says, the picture has become more grim recently was a bell it is not like we cannot handle this financial or other ways as the european union, so we have then means to make a change and to help those people and take care of them. but we don't do it, we choose not to and that is the most frustrating part to me. it is estimated that nearly 17,000 people have died in the mediterranean sea since alan kurdi's death. in recent years, europe has made deals with countries like turkey and libya to help curb the flow of migrants to the continents. measures that have helped slow down the flow of migrants but didn't stop tragedies from taking place. stay with us on bbc news. still to come: what's in a name? controversy over the title of this german street,

which will now be changed, after campaigners said it was racist. she received the nobel peace prize for her work with the poor and the dying in india's slums. the head of the catholic church said mother teresa was a wonderful example of how to help people in need. we have to identify the bodies, then arrange the coffins and take them back home. parents are waiting and wives are waiting. hostages appeared. some carried, some running, trying to escape the nightmare behind them. britain lost a princess today, described by all to whom she reached out as irreplaceable. an early morning car crash in a paris underpass ended a life

with more than its share of pain and courage, warmth and compassion. this is bbc news — the latest headlines: in paris, 1a people go on trial in connection with the deadly attack on satirical magazine charlie hebdo. president trump visits the troubled city of kenosha. he calls the riots and looting there domestic terror. facebook is threatening to stop people in australia from sharing local and international news on their personal accounts. it's in response to an australian draft law, which would make facebook and google pay local publishers for content. the government says it's only fair to level the playing field but both facebook and google have strongly criticised

the proposal, saying it will hurt the long—term vibrancy of australia's media sector. joining me now is dr kobi leins from the university of melbourne's centre for artificial intelligence and digital ethics. welcome to you and thank you for being with us. each of your organisations have criticised facebook and google, saying it does take resources from their businesses so on the face of it it seems the law would seem a good thing forjournalists? absolutely. everybody loves a good david and goliath story and it looks like the large service providers are finally being held to account and made to pay for the content they are using. in reality, the story is different. it's not as straightforward as that. what we have is a situation in australia we have one of the most concentrated media in the world already and this particular regulation if it gets up will potentially concentrate even more power in the hands of existing media. in what way? the regulation suggests that those content is

used can then be refunded or given money for the content but it doesn't include everyone, only many of the major outlets that already exists and it does not treat things like abc and the sbs who are already state funded but have seen funding cuts and a number of staff let go. they will be increasingly impacted as so many of the other outlets get more funding and they will not receive the same. there are a number of different consequences, that is one consequence and another is, an unintended one, they go to facebook for their media sources. particularly for covert news, it seems that australians are very heavily reliant on what is may do is in fa ct re m ove reliant on what is may do is in fact remove some of that verified reliant information, making people rely on

potentially more disinformation oi’ potentially more disinformation or unreliable sources so there area or unreliable sources so there are a lot of unintended consequences which you really do not know how it will play out and remains it to be seen what the impact will be. what has the reaction been amongst ordinary australians? is it a general move in favour or against queensland i would say there has been an enormous fight at the higher level which people are watching with confusion, the accc, the watchdog says this will not necessarily pass on financials to users but what we saw earlier was an open letter from google saying that consumers will indeed have to pay. every time you open a google page or youtube page, there was a p°p‘up youtube page, there was a pop—up saying that australian users would be affected but in effect it's understandable they are reacting strongly, is the first time this has been taken, this step although in europe we have seen spain and france are trying to impose taxes on some of the content this is a very

different model to what we have seen different model to what we have seen anywhere different model to what we have seen anywhere so different model to what we have seen anywhere so there is a higher stake than just what is happening in australia. thank you for your time. the oil spill caused by a japanese ship running aground off the coast of mauritius has had further tragic consequences. on tuesday, three sailors died when their tugboat capsized, as they were helping with the cleanup. four other men were rescued, although one other sailor is still missing. rebecca bailey has this report. just a warning — you might find some images in it distressing. the mauritian coastguard setting off on a grim task — body retrieval. eight sailors set out to help clean up the oil spill that for weeks now has been poisoning a marine wildlife sanctuary. not all of them made it back. the sailors were towing an unmanned barge from the spill site when the two boats collided. the tug boat capsized and the crew abandoned ship. those who were rescued are now recovering in hospital. but for their crewmates the only way back to shore

was in a body bag. everybody is asking "what was the urgency in order to pull the barge at that point in time, at night, and in spite of the bad weather?" and that is why people are feeling desperate about the situation. we could have avoided the casualties. this tragic accident is just the latest repercussion of the grounding of the mv wakashio on july 25. the japanese ship is linked about 1,000 tons of oil onto the pristine coral reef. concern over the fact that this will have on the marine environment were heightened after 39 dead dolphins were washed up on the shore last week. experts who examined two of the bodies said that they could not find traces of hydrocarbons in their corpses, but environmental campaigners have demanded an independent investigation. and anger is rising. many mauritians believe

the government could have done more to prevent the spill. this protest on saturday was the biggest the country has seen in recent years. some of their t—shirts read, "i love my country, i'm ashamed of my government." the government has promised to set up a commission to investigate the spill. the captain of the ship has been arrested and charged with endangering safe navigation. he's not yet commented. the search for the missing sailor continues, as does the clean—up. but this latest incident will only add to the shock and fury as mauritians continue to demand answers about how this could have been allowed to happen. rebecca bailey, bbc news. the us open may look, sound and feel very different this year but day two of play at flushing meadows proved there'll be no shortage of action. from five—set thrillers to injury retirement and even a new record, fans may be watching from home but certainly still on the edge

decades of controversy. mohrenstrasse, or moor st, runs west to east through the heart of berlin. but it is a name that some believe is racist, symbolic of a time that has long passed. translation: what we wanted to achieve was to dismantle discrimination in public spaces. we want it so that black people who are walking down these streets are not constantly confronted with not only the discriminating effect of this word but the history that's behind it. it's very important to create an area that is free of discrimination and colonialism. the street has always been an interesting place, where business deals were done, where lives were led — karl marx stayed here as a student in the early 19th century. there's also an underground train station which shares the same name. the signs will have to be changed here, too, but some feel it's all a little

unnecessary. translation: to try to construct this into something negative is just unscientific. there are no streets that i know of, at least not in berlin — and i think not in the world — that you would them after someone you don't like. mohrenstrasse will soon be known as anton—wilhelm—amo—strasse, named after a ghanaian philosopher and the first black african to study at a german university. tim allman, bbc news. some works of art are designed to last for centuries but not this one, which is unlike to survive the next heatwave, a sculpture made out of butter, the work entitled nourishing our future is the work entitled nourishing ourfuture is on the work entitled nourishing our future is on display at the new york state fair in syracuse and has been sponsored by dairy producers! it shows a family

parts of south—west scotland, where there is the risk of some localised flooding. brisk winds, particularly up towards the far north—west, those are the average speeds — we could see gusts of a5—50mph for very exposed spots in north—west scotland. it will be a little bit warmer than it has been lately, 15—20 degrees. and it looks as if the rain won't get into east anglia or the south—east of england until quite late on in the day. but we will see some splashes of rain here as we go through wednesday night and into thursday. the outbreaks of rain increasingly becoming confined to england and wales. some clearer skies developing, still with one to two showers for northern ireland and scotland, and it will be milder than some nights we've had recently. so we head into thursday, and our frontal system will still be in place. this front is going to take a little while, i think, to clear away from england and wales. so, we're going to see a lot of cloud here. it could be quite a murky start in places, and there will be

some outbreaks of rain moving quite slowly south—eastwards. but the further north and west you are, there will be sunnier skies, some showers, some of which will be heavy. another windy day, and another slightly warmer one than we've had lately, 17—21 degrees. now, by friday, it looks as if our weather front will still be lingering across southern england in south wales. so, further pulses of rain here — but for north wales, northern england, northern ireland and scotland, it's a day of sunny spells and heavy showers, and those temperatures start to come down once again — things turning cooler as we head towards the weekend. for the weekend itself, there will be some showers at times, a fair amount of dry weather, but some rather cool days and some fairly chilly nights.

this is bbc news with the latest headlines for viewers in the uk and around the world. downturn down under. fresh data confirms that australia is in its first recession in three decades. working from home. what is the long term strategy and how do you cope with with the work—life blend. in the midst of the global economic downturns due to the pandemic. how do you launch a hyper—luxury car?

we begin in australia — where just released data show the economy contracted 7% in the second quarter, following a 0.3% fall in the first quarter. that confirms that the country is in its first recession in almost three decades. the economy has been slammed by a triple whammy — a drought late last year, followed by bush fires and then the coronavirus pandemic. joining me now is mark humphery—jennner, associate professor of finance at unsw. it could have been worse, couldn't it? yes, the figures are not good but he could have been much worse. impaired to the uk, europe or the us, australia has fared slightly less badly because of a 7% drop as opposed to the set 20% in the uk. less bad than it could have been but still not good and the government is having to spend quite a lot of money to try to make it not be as bad as

it could have been. and how much of an impact it is going to have? there has been trade surplus and net exports boosting growth. obviously not enough but some signs of at least some green shoots? yes, absolutely. for example, in this gdp figure, trade actually improved so trade helped offset the drop in private consumption. private consumption. private consumption had contracted gdp by around 7.9%. however, trade had increased by 1% so it offset it to some extent. they had been somewhat propped up. there are trade tensions between australia and china that means we watch out for but still there are green shoots and at the moment the government is trying to get the states which are governing the lockdowns to try to reduce them come christmas time so there is an attempt to get the economy back and functioning by 2021. at least that is the goal at the moment. this is the biggest

contraction the country has seen contraction the country has seenin contraction the country has seen in 70 years. what kind of impact is it going to have as you look to a generation, many generations, who have lived without such a large economic downturn. the impact is both large but less large than it could have been. the figures that are coming up, they are to some extent backward looking for. they don't include the current climate. they are basically looking at the past, not what is happening right now. the government has attempted to cushion the blow to the government had been giving people up to $1500 a fortnight to try to offset wage loss. that is going to be scaled down to 1200 now and thenit scaled down to 1200 now and then it will go down to 1000 into the new year. so the government is somewhat offsetting this to make it less bad. that said, people are going to suffer several things stop people coming out of university high school, they will suffer a reduction in

jobs. people going down 5% on average and people approaching retirement could obviously be concerned for their retirement savings so dividends declining and the like so we have several people being hit but in different ways. we will obviously reverberate into the new year and years down the track as the economy adjusts to what has happened here. thanks for your analysis and joining us for your analysis and joining us from australia. turning now to india, where facebook finds itself in the middle of a political storm. later today representatives of the social media giant are due to be quizzed by a parliamentary committee over allegations of bias. shara njit leyl is following the story. absolutely because of facebook has been facing all kinds of regular tree hurdles and problems all across asia. they have faced hurdles in australia this week and under scrutiny today, as you mentioned, from india, where it will be facing

the heat from a parliamentary mitty on a his agents of bias. —— parliamentary committee. they are accusing it of pressing white leading, opposition leaders claim the committee was back the ruling party was of what i know from the agenda, the committee public meeting today, is to hear the views of the representatives of facebook on the subject of safeguarding citizens' rights and prevent the misuse of social and online media platforms. all of this started some weeks ago after a wall streetjournal report suggested facebook went easy on hate speech by an indian lawmaker longing to the governing bgp to protect its interest in its biggest market. that is of course india. wall streetjournal has that is of course india. wall street journal has basted that is of course india. wall streetjournal has basted on interviews on current and former facebook employees for. meanwhile, opposition congress denied facebook‘s brazen assault on indian harmony and

called against them. to confuse men's ad matters, the union leaderfrom the men's ad matters, the union leader from the bjp accused narendra modi and other ministers. this comes amid growing political controversy in india over how facebook essentially regulates political content in a major market where it has more than 300 million users. sharanjit leyl, tricky times ahead. thank you for the let's get for the some of the day's other news. mexico's government says it will seek to "defend the preferential access of mexican agricultural exports to the united states" after washington asked for talks about the imports of perishable goods in a bid to protect us farmers. mexico's economy ministry added in a statement that it "will seek to find mutually satisfactory solutions" to the concerns raised by the united states. and some more of the cheap money washing around the financial system looks set to end up in the hands of tech billionaire elon musk. that's as his electric

virtual hangouts? a friend of mine recentlyjoined and had a happy hour afterwards and said it was really quite cringing. well, it actually works. i have been talking and working with employers and managers and companies all over the world in the last six months and the key is first of all that employers and companies have to make morale and corporate culture a high priority in a remote workforce model. you also have to be innovative and creative about how you keep that car next to betty —— connectivity and workforce cohesion to avoid your workforce to start having loneliness that mixed up having loneliness, that distance, so yes, virtual lunches, virtual happy hours, virtual social activities, play trivia bingo about your colleagues. be creative! and yes, it works, no doubt about it. but can it replace actual human

face—to—face interaction? really, this working from home has been for some the nirvana for many years, hasn't it? certainly at the beginning of lock down, some people really enjoyed the ability to not have to commute and now it seems for some businesses there is a downside. actually, here is the reality. it was nirvana and millennials have had to try it tried to tell us or a decade now that we should be moving to remote workforce and now voluntarily, it is our new normal. i am starting to see a trend, like, google, facebook, twitter, saying they will remain in remote for —— remote workforce mode probably indefinitely, probably for the rest of our lives. so it does work, it is about using the resources we have. technology is our best friend when it comes to remote workforce model and making it productive and efficient and making it work. so let's use video chat. 0f

course it's never going to be the same when we are not in person. it isjust the same when we are not in person. it is just not. however, audio chatting instead of telephone calls or texting is so much more powerful because we can see one another, we can hear one another. we can still feel some sense of connection. so using technology like that, group filesharing like/. -- like that, group filesharing like/. —— slack. and our softwa re like/. —— slack. and our software where you can remotely manage and co—ordinate a workforce without invading their privacy so there are a lot of ways that an employer and manager can make it productive and efficient. would to hear and see you even though you are not in person. morgan fox was a promising young professional cyclist until he had an accident which left him with total hearing loss. he had a cochlear implant, which restored some

of his hearing. he also became the director of the international cycling team evopro racing. he developed a new system of communications between himself and the team which is extremely brief and clear. it is now being adopted by the rest of the cycling world. my my secret is how i managed to turn a catastrophic hearing loss into communication. they told me that basically my hearing was never going to return, that there was no chance of recovery, that the cochlear had in effect been destroyed so now i have a computer processor embedded in my skull and that processor detects soundwaves and the bane adapt them to understand speech. that —— the brain.

my myjob is my job is completely communication. speak to the writers, each one has a 2—way radio. speak to ray —— race officials and writers at the window. they are given a short vocabulary that they can get their point across very quickly. the second word offered. this was initially a system i designed specifically for me. what it that invariably was allow a dialogue between the team that crosses multinational divides and language barriers. and a lot of teams struggle with language barriers and we have been approached they different, various managers and ask how we had a strong communication model. i am quite happy to share those secrets. stay with us on bbc news, still to come: beware of the ghost! how to launch a luxury car in the middle of a global economic downturn. and make a success of it.

here are some other stories from around the uk. about 800—thousand people in glasgow and surrounding areas are now living under increased coronavirus restrictions. the measures were imposed after 135 new cases were detected over the past two days. nicola sturgeon, said the localised restrictions apply to those living in west dunbartonshire, glasgow and east renfrewshire. those living in these three areas should not host people in their homes or visit someone else's home, regardless of where they live, the first minister said. members of different households can continue to meet outdoors, including in gardens. the scottish government has also announced that anyone returning to the country from greece will need to quarantine for two weeks. the restrictions apply from a:00am on thursday.

the scottish justice secretary, humza yousaf, said: "with scotland's relatively low infection rate, importation of new cases from greece is a significant risk to public health." anyone coming back to wales from the greek island of zante is also being told to self—isolate for 1a days, and the travel company tui says it will no longer be taking people to the resort of laganas there. this is bbc world news, the latest headlines: in paris, 1a people go on trial in connection with the deadly attack on satirical magazine charlie hebdo. president trump visits the troubled city of kenosha. he calls the riots and looting there domestic terror. the venice film festival begins today. it's the first international film festival to happen with red carpet events since the pandemic put a stop to movie competitions around the world. but this year it's going to be a very different event. organisers have imposed a host of safety measures , from limited seating to thermal scanners. despite its scaled—down size — with theatre capacity reduced by about half — it is a big moment for the film industry, which has been on hold since march.

joining me now is elliot grove, founder of the raindance film festival. a big moment but is anyone actually going to turn up? that's the big question, i myself had the opening to all these parties last year but not that i don't want to go but i think there is still the usual fear and suspicion of travel that we all have. be it going from venice to london or going to work from anywhere in the uk. how important is it that the festival takes place, given restrictions that will be in place? let's not forget that festivals large and small, including raindance film festival and nothing more than marketing devices so the more glamour that one can put on at the launch of a film, the more successful the distributor or filmmaker has in getting audiences to see the film and of course present venice is one of course present venice is one of the major redcarpet events.

it's a curious to me how they will have people and actors walking down the red carpet with no paparazzi because that's part of the fun, the hustle and bustle of all the people clamouring to see this hot talent quite the movie industry like so many other industries has been put on hold over the last six months in production are slowly getting up production are slowly getting up and running. many challenges and ahead and challenges for putting movies normally in cinemas on streaming services and what impact do you think coronavirus will have on the film industry? many people see the online shift as a horrible thing but cinemas have survived things like television and vhs and home video and i think it's absolutely brilliant that you can now access content from anywhere in the world on any device. i'm speaking to you right now from my cellphone for

example and to watch a movie and be entertained online is a huge benefit if the filmmakers can figure out how to monetise it and of course it is a business after all but nothing will replace the creature comforts that one gets from a cinema. i was going to say making money at the end of the day is the most important thing for the film industry and streaming will not do that. i was looking at the figures and certainly in the us that made up certainly in the us that made up one quarter of the $a2 billion in movie ticket sales and a huge challenge to recoup and a huge challenge to recoup and for many to do that in the movie industry. people who work in the creative industries rise to what people call problems and view it as a creative opportunity and we are still able to see how four makers can adapt to pivot toward some exciting new innovations. thank

you for talking to us. this year has been a dreadful one for the global car industry. in the face of the covid pandemic, factories around the world shut down and showrooms were forced to close their doors. it is still facing a deeply uncertain future. yet the british luxury manufacturer rolls royce seems to be exuding confidence. in fact, it has just launched a brand new model. so who will be buying it? theo leggett reports. this is the new roles voice ghost, the latest variation and add has been in the planning for six years. rolls—royce described as understated, something that whispers rather than shouts but it exudes opulence and will cost you about the same as a medium—sized house yet it is being launched in the teeth of what some people are describing as an unprecedented economic shock, so why have they decided to do it now? to explain a bit

more about that i am joined by the chief executive of rolls—royce and why are you doing this now? for hours, is a seminal moment, to launch a new car, we are launching so often new cars car, we are launching so often new ca rs because car, we are launching so often new cars because we see that times are starting to become better and better and i'm talking our business. we have seen talking our business. we have seen particular in the asian markets, more or less back to normal when it comes to order an intake when we sell rolls— royces an intake when we sell rolls—royces and sing similar developments in the european markets and also the united states is coming back on stream and for that reason i think it is the right moment. doesn't concern you is the right moment. doesn't concern you that, with millions of people around the world being laid off as a result of covid—19, mass unemployment, that there may be resentment towards people driving such popular machines and people may feel differently about showing their wealth? they may be relu cta nt to their wealth? they may be reluctant to buy this sort of thing? yes, but you also need to see that all our clients,

many of them, our business people running their own entities, businesses, many of them see the same happening what we see, business starting to come back. it is becoming positive again so the upward trend in order intakes is happening and that is always encouraging and when encouraging and when encouraging sides are happening we call it consumer sentiment when we see the luxury sector picking up. last year was a record year for you and this year we have had the covert outbreak and it must be pretty dreadful? that is like for you but no—one thought it would happen but yes indeed, 2019 was the best year in 116 history of rolls—royce motor cars and then covid—19 happened, we shut down for a couple of weeks, the entity and the rolls—royce motor cars and we have seen also due to the fact that all our dealer partners were shut down for a couple of weeks, even months, that we have seen

of course sales going down. you can say by mid year, we have lost around 13%, quite a remarkable number but we now see as i said already an upward trend and the business is coming back to what i call far more normal. theo leggett, bbc news. now if you've been on a dating app recently you may well have done a video date. with lockdown making normal dates in person difficult, potential couples have turned to video calls instead. but another trend that's emerging — particularly in america — is to make these video dates public online, so strangers can watch and leave comments as you try and woo a prospective partner — turning dating into a form of entertainment, something that of course has happened on tv for decades.

cani can ijust can i just say you look so gorgeous right now? thank you! you are watching hayley and kevin on a live dating app, they met online with thousands watching and commenting as a relationship developed. we were not looking for love, i promise you, and she knows, iwas not looking for love, i promise you, and she knows, i was so committed to being single and she just changed that. right away i was like, 0k, there's something here, i'm interested. do you like to travel and we do like to go? meet me is one of several live apathy growing popularity in the us and the trend started in china with the mobile platform and europe has witnessed the phenomenon as well, and the local app grew out of germany. it was explained how it works. is really like speed dating. but with an audience. people are queueing up to date this streamer and the audience can actually comment and rate the

co ntesta nt. actually comment and rate the contestant. millions tune into live dating to watch moments like this. ijust got live dating to watch moments like this. i just got the live dating to watch moments like this. ijust got the new iphone 11 a few days ago and when i turn my phone on a message pops up telling me that ifi message pops up telling me that if i want my phone fixed i must have you in my contact list. you are a cutie pie! the live dating phenomenon has also spilt onto platforms like instagram, influences broadcast their dates to followers, turning their love lives... into a form of entertainment! so it is more about exhibitionism and voyeurism or genuinely finding a life partner? date is no longer have the risk appetite or meeting many different people in person. based on something as shallow as a right swipe. is there a danger when you dating something that is a public and like a something that is a public and likea game something that is a public and like a game that something that should be romantic and personal

becomes shallow as well? one of the main criticisms of dating apps is that there is so much choice you don't settle down and you always feel like there is someone else out there. we actually think that live streaming video helps with out by really emphasising their personalities. we actually need to meet and day. dougal shaw, bbc news. not sure i will be signing up for that anytime soon! my news at the website including more details about the earlier story about australia in its first recession for nearly 30 years, the economy is plunging and suffering the economic fallout from the coronavirus with gdp shrinking 7% in the april —— june quarter compared to the previous three months, this is the biggest fall since records began back in 1959, so some big

challenges ahead therefore the australian economy. all the top stories shortly but in the meantime reach me on twitter. thank you for watching. hello there. the first day of september was dry for most of us, but the second day of the month looks a good deal wetter. we'll see some outbreaks of pretty heavy rain moving eastwards through the day and with that, it will be fairly windy. now, if we look at the recent satellite picture, we can see this area of cloud heading in our direction. this is a frontal system which is going to bring some outbreaks of rain. it's all tied in with an area of low pressure drifting to the north—west the british isles. you can see quite a few white lines, quite a few isobars squashing together on the chart, that shows that it will be fairly windy, and we will see a break of rain pushing from the west toward the east. now, the rain will be moving quite erratically eastwards. it will be quite sporadic, quite on—and—off in nature, but some of it will be pretty heavy, particularly across some parts of south—west scotland, where there is the risk

of some localised flooding. brisk winds, particularly up towards the far north—west, those are the average speeds — we could see gusts of a5—50mph for very exposed spots in north—west scotland. it will be a little bit warmer than it has been lately, 15—20 degrees. and it looks as if the rain won't get into east anglia or the south—east of england until quite late on in the day. but we will see some splashes of rain here as we go through wednesday night and into thursday. the outbreaks of rain increasingly becoming confined to england and wales. some clearer skies developing, still with one to two showers for northern ireland and scotland, and it will be milder than some nights we've had recently. so we head into thursday, and our frontal system will still be in place. this front is going to take a little while, i think, to clear away from england and wales. so, we're going to see a lot of cloud here. it could be quite a murky start in places, and there will be some outbreaks of rain moving quite slowly south—eastwards. but the further north and west you are, there will be sunnier skies, some showers,

some of which will be heavy. another windy day, and another slightly warmer one than we've had lately, 17—21 degrees. now, by friday, it looks as if our weather front will still be lingering across southern england in south wales. so, further pulses of rain here — but for north wales, northern england, northern ireland and scotland, it's a day of sunny spells and heavy showers, and those temperatures start to come down once again — things turning cooler as we head towards the weekend. for the weekend itself, there will be some showers at times, a fair amount of dry weather, but some rather cool days and some fairly chilly nights.

let's start your day with the team at breakfast. good morning. welcome to breakfast with dan walker and louise minchin. our headlines today: wales and scotland introduce new quarantine rules for greece amid concerns about rising coronavirus cases. nearly a million people will be affected by new restrictions in glasgow and surrounding areas after infections increase just as rules in greater manchester are eased. after almost six months at home, many children in england and wales are returning to the classroom. good morning. even covid—19 cannot

ruin christmas.
