these are average speeds, with some gusts up to 40mph in some places. hello. temperatures up to 13 degrees. this is bbc news with martine croxall. we'll be taking a look at tomorrow mornings papers in a moment on through monday night, this rain here will spread north 00:00:11,574 --> 4294966103:13:29,430 and east across the uk. with giles kenningham and miatta fahnbulleh. first, the headlines. prime minister boris johnson is self—isolating after meeting an mp who later tested positive for covid—19. mrjohnson says he has no symptoms and will be working from no 10. the former us president barack obama has told the bbc that the united states is more divided today, than when he was elected twelve years ago. scientists behind the first covid vaccine to be successful in early trials say its full impact will be felt next year — but warn of a hard winter ahead. the side effects of statins may be down to patient anxiety and have nothing to do with what's in them — according to a new study.

i've kept a list of the insults against des o'connor. and farewell to one of our best known entertainers — des o'connor has died at the age of 88. hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are the political commentator and former head of press at no 10, giles kenningham — and the former labour adviser and chief executive at the new economics foundation — miatta fahnbulleh. the metro leads on the news

that boris johnson is self—isolating after coming into contact with a covid—positive colleague — the prime minister says he has no symptoms and will continue working from downing street. that's also the lead for the telegraph, which says the prime minister's 14—day quarantine will throw his plans for a ‘government refocus‘ into disarray. the paper also carries a picture of a triumphant lewis hamilton upon sealing his record—breaking seventh world title. the guardian's main story is the prime minister's self—isolation — the paper also marks the life and times of comedian, des o'connor, who's died at the age of 88. des o'connor's life also features on the front of the times which describes him as the last ‘all round variety entertainer‘ — the paper's lead is a plan by the treasury to make drivers contribute to a new national road pricing scheme and the express claims the prime minister is poised to walk out of brexit talks this week unless the eu finally gives up what the paper calls ‘its bullying demands.‘ metaphorically walked out. he is not walking out of anywhere, is he? let‘s begin with the metro. the

prime minister has told to south isolates and has got to do what eve ryo ne isolates and has got to do what everyone else is asked to do. he will be self isolating for m days. he came into contact with an mp at a gathering they had, and she has tested positive along with his wife, said the prime minister now has two self—isolate. he has had covid—19, so self—isolate. he has had covid—19, so potentially he is not as susceptible. because he is not showing systems, symptoms, he can‘t ta ke showing systems, symptoms, he can‘t take a test, so he has to do what the rest of us do. his now former chief as pfizer had when he wasn‘t seen to be following the rules —— chief of staff. rules -- chief of staff. there is a lot of speculation across the

papers, will this reset or relaunch the government. i would sound a note of caution to that. in the current environment, he wouldn't be able to hold a big press conference. he wouldn't be able to hold a big speech to a lot of people. they can still make those in unspent. obviously, timing is not ideal. but i don't think it is as big a catastrophe as some of the papers are making out. the guardian is looking at this crucial week, saying the prime minister is being forced to isolate again as this crucial week begins. talk us through what she was going to do this week, because there has been criticism from some of his own mps about what was happening inside number ten with dominic cummings so controversial and divisive figure. there is talk

in the paper of the industrial plan. suggestions he may seek to eradicate oi’ suggestions he may seek to eradicate or ban diesel or petrol cars within the next ten years. but also this week, i think there were plans to do a lot of parliamentary outreach. he was meant to be meeting the northern research group tomorrow, which is a sort of corpus of tory mps to repair and improve relations with the parliamentary party, something which he is very keen to do, staying in number ten for a long period of time. clearly, something like that will not be as easy. you can‘t do that face—to—face. maybe he cannot do that over skype. but the domestic agenda, i think they can still roll that out. what it means for brexit negotiations, it is not clear. what do you think, miatta, the departure

of dominic cummings and lee cain will mean? will there be a different approach? there was combative natures, picking fights, to get a flavour of the sort of campaign approach they took. but for me, the button still stops with the prime minister. the tone is set by the prime minister. he chooses his advisors. the strategy, priorities, everything is set by the prime minister. i don‘t buy this idea that it is only down to a couple of advisers. yes, advisers advise and can determine strategy and advice on strategy, but the buck stops with the guy that makes the decisions and the guy that makes the decisions and

the pull. if number ten was divisive and aggressive and combative, that was down to him. if he decides he wa nts to was down to him. if he decides he wants to change approach and strategy, it is within his gift to do that. but to claim that it was his advisers who was solely driving the strategy seems completely fanciful to me. you can sense the geopolitical dynamics shifting with biden, the huge amount of akron only —— acrimonious... probably forced him to try and position this is a reset and a pivot, which is why i think the optics of the fact that he can‘t be out there telling the story about the kind of vision that he wa nts for about the kind of vision that he wants for the country, trying to be more broadbrush and conciliatory is a bit ofa more broadbrush and conciliatory is a bit of a blow for him, more broadbrush and conciliatory is a bit ofa blow for him, i more broadbrush and conciliatory is a bit of a blow for him, i suspect. let‘s look at the start and, this

idea of people suffering from something called nocebo, where they feel the effects of a drug that is supposed be doing them good. i hadn‘t heard of it. have you? effectively, people who say they feel side—effects from things like statins, things likejoint feel side—effects from things like statins, things like joint a and fatigue, potentially it is in the mind. very interesting, i think statins are some of the most prescribed drugs in the uk. apparently, one fifth of patients who take the drug to stop taking it because of these so—called side—effects. but essentially what they are saying is it is in the mind. doctors are taking it seriously, though and not dismissing the ill effects that people feel. they are not, and to be fair, the

study has just come out. it is suggested that 90% of the side—effects are down to this placebo, nocebo, and it will be an interesting one for how doctors navigate this when they say they feel those things, to say it is just in your mind is going to be a tough one. but i think it is a really important study to have uncovered this. miatta, tell us about the story that there are these mega labs that could be created. it is a pretty big deal, one in leamington spa and one in scotland that will essentially double our testing capacity. at the moment, we have the capacity. at the moment, we have the capacity for about 500,000 tests. between the two of them, they could potentially get up to about 600,000 tests per day, which could mean we could have won a million tests per day in terms of capacity. it could

employ about 4000 jobs. it is huge, and a big part of the government strategy is massive testing and testing at a much larger scale. this creates the ability for them to do that. the two things to stay, however, our capacity is not the same as the number of tests that we do. we have got capacity for 500,000 now. critically, testing is only half of the battle. we also have to have effective tracing and effective self isolation, and unfortunately, that part of the operation is far, far weaker. great that we can test a lot more. we need to do more particularly by building up local capacity and then do the tracing, and ensure that people are in the position both by the incentives put in place, for example making sure that people can afford to self—isolate, to massively increase the number of people that are

actually self isolating. and transparency as well overview the contracts have gone to and who is making the money. following the telegraph, boomers turn these as with pandemics saving. they are saying that baby boomers have turned to boos in a lockdown, self isolating at home, and this fuel is, sadly, mental health problems, so they're always different stories coming out in lockdown, unintended consequences of coming out in lockdown, unintended consequences of what has happened. not a lot about it on the front page, but not a great story. the problem is, in the absence of anything else to spend your money on, people probably feel they can afford an bottle or two in the supermarket. that definitely seems to be the pattern. buying unnecessary retail products seems to

be the other pattern. psychiatrists are generally worried about this because they are worried about the mental health impacts of this, but also because there is a huge mental health crisis, people being put into self isolation, people not having with their contact with friends and families is putting a huge amount of pressure on mental health. the worries people are notjust reaching for alcohol because they can afford to, but because they are trying to find a bit of n out in what is a really dark time, and that is particularly worrying because it sets a pattern that will be hard to reverse when it comes to us getting to the other side of the pandemic. finally, the daily star. one of the many insults thrown at des o‘connor. i wonder how much both of you know about des o‘connor. just a thought

each? it's more your era, martin. yes, it is, giles! i actually remember him as an iconic presenter, writing his career was quite remarkable, spanned four or five decades... maybe 70 years, actually, young man! miatta ?|j decades... maybe 70 years, actually, young man! miatta? i grew up with des o‘connor. he is iconic. it is definitely a sad state, but he leaves quite a remarkable legacy, i think. absolutely. a very self—deprecating sense of humour he had as well. we will all be back again for another look at the papers at 1130, bringing giles‘s cheat with him. click is coming up next. see you ina

him. click is coming up next. see you in a minute. —— cheek. hope you‘re doing ok. at the moment, we are all online much more than we used to be — i‘m talking about us, the adults, but also our children too. and for many parents, there have been huge challenges trying to work from home at the same time as supervising children. and that has meant, in some cases, handing over devices before the proper parental

controls are in place. and that‘s compounded by the fact that they may not have had enough time to supervise in the way that they would‘ve done in an ideal world. so with my youngest, it‘s simple — i‘m there, i operate the computer for her, i know she‘s not gonna see anything that she shouldn‘t. but my son is starting to get to the age where i want to give him a bit more independence but i also want to keep him absolutely safe. so — so what do i do? can i rely on parental control software to block all harmful content? i feel that i also should be teaching him how to spot and possibly even become resilient to the stuff that he will still encounter online. yep, that‘s a dilemma that all of us parents have to face, so we‘ve been taking a look at some of the tech that aims to help, but also how companies and legislation could perhaps do more. this is sophie. she was just 13 when she took her own life. sophie had been suffering from depression and had had suicidal thoughts.

like many parents, we‘d given sophie a phone, and we gave her that at the age of 12, and we discovered a few months later that sophie had been accessing really difficult material, really completely inappropriate for, well, in my view, anyone, but certainly a child of her age. recently, a video of a young man taking his own life was posted on facebook and subsequently spread to other platforms, including tiktok, where it took days to be removed. just this week, instagram announced that it will extend the use of artificial intelligence to spot this type of content to its eu users. it can then make it less visible and, in extreme cases, remove it. but this is a problem that exists across the industry. even with sophisticated tools, harmful content still gets through. so i‘ve been looking at safetowatch,

a new a! video—tracking platform that aims to help, which i‘ve tested on an episode of the bbc‘s harlots. so the software is set to detect sensitive imagery and if it detects it, then it will grey the image out, thus prevent it from being seen. now, it‘s currently in alpha so it hasn‘t got its full functionality, but the general idea is that it can track video in real time. now, that could be something that‘s being streamed directly from a phone‘s camera, or some video that‘s being streamed from the internet, but it can block any nudity or any violence that a child shouldn‘t be seeing before it ever reaches their device. so this is all about semantic understanding, so the artificial intelligence isn‘tjust looking at the image, it‘s basically contextualising everything around it, including audio, so safetowatch also can analyse, detect and prevent threats in cartoons and anime.

it‘s picked it up, it‘s saying it‘s picked it up, but it‘s not hashing it. it‘s very early days for the tech, it is glitchy and full functionality is still being built, but its aims are big. it hopes to work across all content providers, including home—made video. while the video tool is still being worked on, the company‘s ai—powered monitoring keyboard has been available since last year. once you‘ve downloaded safetonet‘s keyboard app, you can select it as you default. now, if i start to type something unpleasant, like "i hate you", for example, it comes up with the warning, saying "watch out! high risk content". and you can tap on that warning for more information. of course, it‘s pretty clear what i‘ve written is just simply nasty. so let me try a few other things and show you how it would respond. so, "i feel depressed".

and from there, it offers some advice. "oh, no! would you like some advice? you‘re not alone — others do feel like you." we can all do simple things to try and protect children from harmful content. most isps offer the facility to switch parental blocks on, that will stop some sites being visited, and most devices come with parental control settings that are easy to enable. but perhaps throwing tech solutions at tech problems isn‘t the answer, and we should be going back to basics. first thing is what does it mean? you know, what does inappropriate mean? secondly, even if you do not, you know, know if it‘s inappropriate, if it makes you feel uncomfortable, come to me. and thirdly, take a pause before you react. children, you know, unfortunately will be exposed to harmful and inappropriate content and potentially to harmful behaviour from others online.

and if that happens, the most important thing to do is to sit and work through that with your child. to take away devices would not only be an overreaction, but it does not then help to make sure that your child is safer in future. there‘s no denying the new playstation is weird—looking. forget what the ps5 looks likejust for a moment. we‘ll come back to that in a minute. take a look at the games. under the skin, the ps5 has custom amd ryzen gpu, which supports ray tracing — a method of creating more realistic lighting effects. this means more visual whiz bang for your buck! and it has an 825 gig ssd, which means load times should be drastically reduced. whoa!

it comes in two flavours — the full—fat, full—price version, which features an ultra hd blu—ray drive, and a cheaper digital—only version, which lacks the optical drive. watch it! he‘s throwing something! as well as ray tracing, the gpu is technically capable of 8k graphics, although for now, 4k is all we‘ve seen. it should be able to pump out 120 frames her second visuals as well, although so far, everything that i‘ve been playing has been at 60 frames — although very smooth. i‘ve been testing this machine for a couple of weeks and i‘ve mainly playing spider—man miles morales... whee! ..and astro‘s playroom, which comes bundled free with the machine. both titles demonstrate what the next generation is capable of, but in different ways. spider—man is simply gorgeous to look at. and the way in which spidey traverses the big apple, web—swinging, wall—crawling, running and leaping from building to building, as well as taking out bad guys with his trademark athleticism, spider—sense

and web slingers are all great calling cards for sony‘s new machine. astro‘s playroom casts the player as a cute little robot who embarks on a series of adventures inside the console. while some experiences are no doubt influenced by any number of platformers and adventure games, they do serve to showcase the ps5‘s new dualsense controller. so here, i have to use my little robot to pull out this cable, and i can feel the feedback and the elasticity of the cable through the controller. it feels weird to be impressed by that, but i really am! something i‘m less impressed with is the playstation 5‘s physical box. the ps5 has has variously been described as "looking like a router or an air—conditioning unit" which is fair enough, because it is one weird—looking console. but i think all of its strange styling quirks are to try and mask its massive bulk. this is a big console.

it‘s so big that it has its own postcode. in fact, i think it‘s so big, it‘s probably visible from the international space station. houston, i can confirm i can see the playstation 5 from space! over. of course, the biggest challenge the ps5 will face is not from its own massive dimensions, but from the xbox series x. like the ps5, the series x has better graphics and a superfast ssd, which drastically reduces loading times. it also comes in two versions — the series x and the less powerful, cheaper, series s. one feature that sets it apart is the brilliant quick resume, which lets you switch between games in seconds, picking up where you left off. and perhaps the ace up microsoft‘s sleeve for the xbox is game pass — a netflix—style subscription service which gives players access to hundreds of titles

for a monthly price. we think xbox game pass is a critically important part of our platform. we are trying to make gaming more seamless, easier to try new games, easier to experiment with new games. it‘s reallyjust offering a ton of choices to players right now. so, which of the two new next gen machines to choose from? well, they are actually pretty different. the ps5, at the moment, feels like the most next gen of the two — that‘s because the games that are available for it at the moment really do show off what this machine can do. the xbox series x, on the other hand, is the more powerful of the two machines here, and game pass really does open up a whole world of video games to people that don‘t want to spend as much money per month on titles. this is an evolution, rather than a revolution. but on this evidence, it‘s off to a strong start. that was marc, and that‘s

it for the shortcut of click for this week. the full length version is up on iplayer as usual. just before we go, though, a word on something big that we‘re doing next week. every year, the bbc‘s 100 women project shines a light on women‘s issues and women‘s achievements, and click has invited some of the most inspiring female tech leaders to a special event, and we would love you to be there. so if you‘re a woman just setting out on your career in tech, get in touch. tweet us @bbcclick and you can be in the audience and ask your questions to our special guests. look forward to seeing you. that‘s it for now, though. thanks for watching and we‘ll see you soon. bye— bye.

hello. a wind gust of 92 mph on the isle of wight today at a very exposed weather station. although it has been stormy through the english channel and on adjacent coasts, you cannot get a rainbow without a bit of sunshine. it has not been a complete wash—out everywhere. those very strong, squally winds will be easing as we get into the night and a lot of the rain will be easing, too, as a little gap between weather systems will develop. it will not last too long and it will be turning wetter in the west as we go through tomorrow afternoon. through the night, though, what we are left with is just some showery rain across northern and western parts of scotland, running down towards north west england. still a few spots of rain elsewhere in england and wales. a fair amount of cloud around, yes, but some clear spells and it will be a cooler start to the day monday morning. what is left of the showery rain will gradually fade away. for many of us, by the end of monday

morning, it will be dry, some sunny spells around, but remember that next weather system coming in, spreading in the cloud to wales, western parts of england and northern ireland. we will get some outbreaks of rain arriving as we get deeper on through the afternoon. it will be breezy, yes, but not as windy as it has been over the weekend and temperatures mainly in the range of nine to 13 celsius. and where it has stayed dry during the day, you will see some outbreaks of rain arriving through the evening and into the night. and then behind that, we are drawing in plenty of cloud but plenty of mild air, so it will be a mild start to tuesday morning, some of us in double figures. but a very wet start north—west scotland. we will see a lot of rain here through tuesday into wednesday as well, with weather fronts close by. that does bring a risk of flooding. whereas elsewhere on tuesday, well, there will be some cloud around. a few brighter breaks in a few spots, but some mild air coming in from the south. and the thicker cloud towards particular western hills, you could see some light rain or drizzle. away from that very heavy rain running into north—west scotland, many of us will have a dry tuesday. this is where temperatures will be

widely into the mid—teens and parts of north—east scotland and the eastern side of england could be around 16 or even 17 degrees celsius. this weather system gets a move on, though, as we go through wednesday, sweeping a weather front east across the uk with rain clearing to brighter skies for thursday, with a few showers moving south and it will feel colder, temperatures sinking down to single figures by friday.

this is bbc news, the headlines at 11. self—isolating but showing no symptoms of coronavirus — the prime minister borisjohnson is under orders from nhs track and trace after meeting an mp who later tested positive. the former us president, barack obama, tells the bbc that america is more divided today, than when he first ran for office 12 years ago. scientists behind the first covid vaccine to be successful in early trials say its full impact will be felt next year — but warn of a hard winter ahead. the side effects of statins could be down to patient anxiety and have nothing to do with what‘s in them according to a new study.
