of drizzle in the even spots of drizzle in the southeast and east anglia. eventually, the sunshine will develop. i think especially outlets, we are in for a beautiful sunny day. that's it for me. enjoy.

hello. this is bbc news with martine croxall. we'll be taking a look at tomorrow morning's papers in a moment withjo phillips and nigel nelson. first, the headlines: the chancellor plans new measures to help people buy their own homes as he prepares his budget for next week. anas sarwar has been announced as the new scottish labour leader. he takes charge of the party ahead of the scottish parliament election on the sixth of may. tributes are paid to captain sir tom moore at his funeral — family members say his spirit will live on. ministers in england launch a campaign to reassure parents it's safe for children to return to the classroom.

hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are the political commentatorjo phillips and the political editor at the sunday mirror and the sunday people, nigel nelson. what are you drinking? nothing at the moment! _ many of the papers are looking ahead to wednesday's budget. the observer says the chancellor will offer grants of up to £18,000 to 700,000 businesses as part of a £5 billion rescue scheme to save the high street. the sunday telegraph says rishi sunak is planning new taxes on online deliveries

and the self—employed in order to start paying for the £300 billion cost of dealing with the coronavirus pandemic. the independent says the public would back new taxes on the wealthy and big businesses in order to pay back the cost of the coronavirus support. the sunday times leads with rishi sunak�*s plans to raise income tax by £6 billion as he looks to find a way to plug the black hole in the nation's finances. it also has a photo of the sunshine most of the uk experienced today. and the mirror says "his spirit will live on" as it headlines a photo from captain sir tom moore's funeral earlier today. so let's begin. the budget. 0n social media earlier, nigel nelson promised that he would tell us exactly what is in the budget four days away. how exactly?

because things have actually changed hugely over the last few years. there was a time when chancellors used to go into budget purda and when it came to the sunday papers before the budget it was guesswork about what was going to be in it. nowadays it's different, the chancellors start from tomorrow morning onwards in the sunday papers letting us know what's going on so the observer, for instance, this will definitely be in the budget, no question, the idea that a new £5 billion restart fund which will benefit 700,000 pubs, restaurant, hotels, salons and shops, they will get an £18,000 grant to help them get an £18,000 grant to help them get back into business as soon as the lockdown is over. 10. get back into business as soon as the lockdown is over.— the lockdown is over. 10, this is more help _ the lockdown is over. 10, this is more help for— the lockdown is over. 10, this is more help for businesses - the lockdown is over. 10, this is more help for businesses even | the lockdown is over. 10, this is - more help for businesses even though we will get onto it in a minute, it's going to be paid for at some

digital sales tax is extended, that is not an announcement for wednesday, that's an announcement for tax day but a number of other things in the sunday telegraph that will definitely be there will be a northern infrastructure bank set to unleash £40 billion of investment in big construction projects and the one you've just mentioned on the news which will definitely be in their is the return of the help to buy scheme where you can get 5% deposits and 90% mortgages. let’s deposits and 9096 mortgages. let's look at the funeral _ deposits and 9096 mortgages. let's look at the funeral of _ deposits and 9096 mortgages. let's look at the funeral of sir _ deposits and 90% mortgages. let's look at the funeral of sir tom moore which took place today which is on the front of the sunday mirror. his spirit lives on, something his family said at the service. absolutely, and i think despite the

fact it was all socially distanced and not as many people were able to go to the funeral as one might have hoped, it was absolutely a tremendous sendoff for him. this really was the right way of treating a national hero so the queen sent a wreath, there was an honour guard and a two volley salute for him. his coffin was draped in a unionjack and there was a fly—past of a world war ii dakota which i think was a great sendoff and no one could have deserved more. mi great sendoff and no one could have deserved more.— deserved more. all the ingredients, and a man who _ deserved more. all the ingredients, and a man who inspired _ deserved more. all the ingredients, and a man who inspired many - deserved more. all the ingredients, and a man who inspired many other| and a man who inspired many other people to raise money for charity which have struggled in the pandemic. which have struggled in the pandemic— pandemic. absolutely. it is astonishing _ pandemic. absolutely. it is astonishing to _ pandemic. absolutely. it is astonishing to think- pandemic. absolutely. it is astonishing to think that i pandemic. absolutely. it is| astonishing to think that he pandemic. absolutely. it is - astonishing to think that he raised such an _ astonishing to think that he raised such an enormous amount of money. and also, _ such an enormous amount of money. and also, its — such an enormous amount of money. and also, it's one of the good things— and also, it's one of the good things about social media because he started _ things about social media because he started off— things about social media because he started offjust on his own and it

that seems to me a sensible way of stopping the one thing that these scientists are terribly worried about that although children don't get very ill, they could well pick up get very ill, they could well pick up covid and take it back to their family bubbles so testing the families assumes a really sensible way forward. families assumes a really sensible way forward-— way forward. let's finish with the sunday times. _ way forward. let's finish with the sunday times. double _ way forward. let's finish with the sunday times. double life - way forward. let's finish with the sunday times. double life of - way forward. let's finish with the | sunday times. double life of fleet street editor who secretly supported ira bombings. this is roy greenslade who has revealed these are the views that he has long held. it who has revealed these are the views that he has long held.— that he has long held. it has always been suspected _ that he has long held. it has always been suspected and _ that he has long held. it has always been suspected and it _ that he has long held. it has always been suspected and it was - that he has long held. it has always been suspected and it was actually | been suspected and it was actually revealed. — been suspected and it was actually revealed, if you like, or hinted at in a book— revealed, if you like, or hinted at in a book some years ago. roy greenslade is a very respected media commentator who used to have a media column— commentator who used to have a media column in_ commentator who used to have a media column in the _ commentator who used to have a media column in the guardian and was an editor— column in the guardian and was an editor of— column in the guardian and was an editor of the daily mirror and an

decided to make this admission at this particular time. the fact that he was a sympathiser with republicanism is one thing and i think that was pretty much well—known or rumoured about on fleet street. to actually declare that you are in favour of physical violence to achieve aims and therefore an ira supporter, therefore an ira supporter, therefore you back to the bombing campaign that the ira launched both on the mainland with an awful lot more bombs in northern ireland, that was a bit of a surprise and i think you're right, there will be some kind of backlash against that. nigel, jo, thank you very much for now. we'll be back at 11:30pm for another look at the papers. coming up another look at the papers. coming up next, it's time for click.

hey, welcome to click! this week, we're both trying to look our best because it's been london fashion week which, as you may expect, was a bit different this year and which probably explains why lara is currently wearing cardboard. oh, sorry! i'll take these off. i was looking at a collection in virtual reality! put them back on and tell us what it's like. well, it's certainly immersive, of course. this is designerjenn lee's show. it was shot in live action so that viewers can experience it in a vr headset or google cardboard. it's a great 360 view around, although i feel like i'm at a circus, but i guess that's just high fashion for you! and what's really struck me is that this goes so much further than just putting clothes online.

four years ago, a mysterious model stirred up the fashion industry. her name was shudu and nobody knew where she came from. turns out shudu wasn't real — she came from the imagination of fashion photographer cameronjames wilson and she became an internet sensation. she even appeared in a digital—only swarovski dress at the 2019 baftas in london, with her movements provided by a real model in canada. such was shudu's success that wilson decided to create a model agency called the diigitals and design six more models to create a more diverse line—up, including galaxia, a much—needed alien model. in all seriousness, wilson thinks

that his approach can tackle one of the biggest issues that the fashion industry faces — sustainability. in the next 3—5 years, many of the brands that we know today are going to be using 3d in their pipelines in some way, shape orform — whether that's designing the clothes or creating campaigns with digital models so, as you can imagine, that means that digital models are going to become more and more in demand as it makes much more sense to put your 3d clothes on 3d models. it allows them to visualise and even sell clothes that haven't even been made yet, so they can do things like a pre—order on collections and that way, they have not wasted any materials in making those garments. one of the biggest sources of waste within the fashion industry is returns and having too much stock. that all goes to waste or it's burned. doing anything that can help stop that and reduce

that is extremely important. and designer collective the fabricant are trying to do exactly that, creating 3d garments from scratch with only digital models in mind. and notjust supermodels like these, but us too — our avatars. we create clothes that are always digital and never, ever physical so with that, we try to change the landscape of what fashion will look like for the 21st century. and we're trying to see how we can reshape the way we wear, produce and create clothes, and to see if we can create a more sustainable way. fabricant�*s founder, amber slooten, became concerned about the environmental impact of fast fashion when she was a student at the amsterdam fashion institute. so she decided to put down her needle and thread, pick up a computer and mouse and start creating virtual garments for some of the world's biggest fashion brands. this one was sold for almost $10,000 — a custom frock which has not and never will exist in the reals.

i think maybe 50 peoples are walking their day in real life but, like, millions and millions of people saw her wearing that dress online. and then, my question always is, like, what is the difference, right? and, like, even in this culture still, the only sort of proof we have of our identity is our pictures. cameronjames has been dressing some of his 3d models using fabricant�*s free collection. we downloaded some of their free clothing — which they call ffrops — from their website and put them on one of our models called boyce. he looked absolutely amazing in them, and it highlighted the way that the 3d fashion industry can work. we can collaborate with each other across the world and for free. you know, there's no waste involved. there's certainly a lot of motivation to cut waste, both in materials and in transport. the european union has promised

to save 55% of their co2 footprint. from where is that coming from and how do we save that? look around you — all of the industries are digitised. change takes time, so it will take time. the good thing with digital fashion is that it's utterly scalable and it's very fast so, like, once you hit a critical mass, it can happen really, really quickly. but what started as an attempt to make fashion more environmentally friendly may lead to something equally world—changing. a new cult is rising. i'm a 19—year—old musician, change seeker, taco truck expert and robot. from virtual models to virtual social media stars, all wearing virtual clothing. is this what we'll all be spending our money on soon? those models are incredible, but we've been doing some modelling of our own. drumroll. cheering and applause.

yeah, so that was actually a digital outfit built for me especially by a company called dressx. at the moment, their digital clothing can only be shown on still images, but what did you think? did i cut the mustard? oh, brilliant! and i loved the branding! spencer isn't the only one who's been virtually dressing up, though. the fashion industry predicts that digital garments will become big business over the next two decades. the idea of buying virtual goods has long existed in gaming, where in—game purchases have played their part in creating a digital—only goods market. but these new online shops are full of brands that are hoping to unite the digital and the real world. a bit like the effects on video chat, one day we might be wearing virtual designer outfits as well.

definitely, we understand that dressx is a product literally for everyone who has any kind of a digital identity online. right now, the process is pretty straightforward and actually replicates our shopping habits. on the product page, you upload your photo and then you check out. you will receive your result next day and it is ready to be shared. so, of course, i had a go too, but i was pretty underwhelmed by the result. as much as i may have always dreamt of a click dress, the fit wasn't great and you can see my sleeves — although if i provided an original picture in swimwear, that would have overcome that issue. this is early days, but companies are working on being able to dress customers live in video, and it's then that our real wardrobes may have some competition.

colourful flowers are starting to blossom, inspiring ourfashion and make—up choices for a new season. experimenting with spring colours and make—up is challenging at the moment with many beauty store counters closed, but new apps are providing perfect make—up matches using ai and glasses you can use at home or even in the park. these are zozoglass by japanese online fashion retailer, zozo. they're designed with these different colour swatches around your eyes and when using them with their smartphone app, you can find the perfect foundation colour for your skin tone without leaving your home. the first step is using your smartphone's camera to look at all of the colours on the frame. as you look around, the app sees how each of the colours are affected by the environment.

this environmental lighting is calculated and then removed from the image, revealing the true colour of your skin, hair and eyes. your face is shown split into different zones with the best foundation shades for each section. it also detects percentages of haemoglobin and melanin in your skin and your personal colour for clothing that would suit your skin tone. we will also be enabling ar make—up, but colour—corrected ar make—up, so that you put the glasses on for about three seconds and then you can do make—up virtually, but that colour correction really shows what you would really look like wearing that make—up because it is corrected. the company has already released remote shopping products like the zozomat, which measures your feet, and the zozosuit, which measures your body.

the new platform will launch injapan in march and the glasses will be shipped to customers for free. another beauty app that has been inspired by the lockdown and will help you shop from home is chanel�*s lipscanner. we tried it outside on different flowers. you pick the exact area of colour you like and lipscanner recommends the closest shade of product to match. as well as the colour, you can see if it looks better as a gloss or a matte. if you decide you don't like the colour suggested you can flick through different ones and they all appear on your lips. chanel�*s app takes into account your skin tone and lip shape when making recommendations. the perfect shade is then sent to your home. and it really is amazing how close the colour match is to what i did on my video. so this is shade 47, daring red, and it's almost exactly the same. i'm really impressed because the way it's applied in the app is much better than the way that i have applied it on my own lips. it is incredible!

so while beauty counters remain under wraps around the world, innovations making it easier to find make—up from home will become more advanced. brilliant! that wasjen finishing the short version of what i think has been an incredibly fashionable show. what do you reckon? just call us the click catwalk! yeah, indeed! the full—length version of this week's program is waiting for you right now on iplayer. and as ever, you can keep up with the team on social media throughout the week. find us on youtube, instagram, facebook and twitter at @bbcclick. thank you for watching and we will see you soon. bye— bye. hello. the weather has been pretty good across most of the uk lately,

and there's every reason to believe that's how it's going to stay over the next few days. there is a possibility that we will have some rain in the south of the country come wednesday, but not for now. that's a big area of high—pressure that sitting on top of the uk. it's dominating the weather across much of western and central europe as well, so it's notjust us enjoying the sunshine. so, through the early hours, a lot of the uk is clear. there will be a touch of frost, but milder in the northwest of the country, i think in belfast and glasgow, around five celsius first thing, whereas parts of south central england, around freezing early in the morning. now, i will point out it may start off cloudy at least in the morning, even foggy in places, even spots of drizzle in the southeast and east anglia. eventually, the sunshine will develop. i think especially west, we are in for a beautiful sunny day. that's it for me. enjoy.

this is bbc news with the latest headlines for viewers in the uk and around the world. president biden urges the us senate to approve his $1.9 trillion coronavirus aid package after it was passed by the house of representatives. the people of this country have suffered far too much for too long. we need to relieve that suffering. the american rescue plan doesjust that — it relieves the suffering. and it's time to act. meanwhile, praise for donald trump at the annual gathering of us conservatives. but will the ex—president stay in command of his party?
