tv The Papers BBC News May 1, 2021 10:30pm-11:01pm BST
10:30 pm
hello, and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me is the political commentator jo phillips and the political editor of the sunday mirror and sunday people, nigel nelson. tomorrow's front pages... there are only a few front pages in so far, but let's start with the telegraph, which outlines the prime minister's plan to try and save the union by investing billions of pounds on new road and rail links and treating scottish patients on english nhs beds. the express leads with a question on whether britain is ready for what they call an "economic lift—off" after today's coronavirus death toll became the lowest recorded for seven months. and includes an image of princess charlotte ahead of her sixth birthday tomorrow.
10:31 pm
and "now we're sucking diesel" — the daily star teases ahead to the grand line of duty series six finale, which airs tomorrow evening on bbc one. so let's begin. hello to you both. we are going to lead with the telegraph and i wonder if you could kick us off with their lead story, please. this if you could kick us off with their lead story, please.— if you could kick us off with their lead story, please. this is a report that apparently — lead story, please. this is a report that apparently boris _ lead story, please. this is a report that apparently boris johnson - lead story, please. this is a report that apparently boris johnson is i that apparently boris johnson is throwing up that apparently borisjohnson is throwing up emergency plans to that apparently boris johnson is throwing up emergency plans to throw money at scotland. this is ahead of the elections on thursday, which many people in scotland are being seen as a referendum on a referendum. and it's widely expected that the snp will do very well. whether they do as well as they have donein whether they do as well as they have done in the past and have an outright majority, we don't know until the outcome of the votes at the end of the week. but boris
10:32 pm
johnson is apparently according to the telegraph going all out to try and save the union. and within weeks expected to announce millions of pounds on infrastructure, transport, education, basically a pr war with nicholas sturgeon. but it's very interesting. one of the things reported here is british doormats would be ordered to make the case against scottish independence around the world. there's this bonkers idea of a bridge between scotland and northern ireland and the idea of some sort of exchange of students between england and scotland, which throws up a whole load of questions because scottish students don't have to pay tuition fees whereas students at angus universities do. and the idea that scottish patients could be treated in english nhs beds. i mean, it sounds like a great big pr push but not very much more than that.
10:33 pm
nigel. i but not very much more than that. niel. ~ ., but not very much more than that. niel. ~ . ., , nigel. i think what we are seeing here is the _ nigel. i think what we are seeing here is the carrot _ nigel. i think what we are seeing here is the carrot coming - nigel. i think what we are seeing here is the carrot coming out, i nigel. i think what we are seeing here is the carrot coming out, so billions _ here is the carrot coming out, so billions of— here is the carrot coming out, so billions of pounds for roads and rail and — billions of pounds for roads and rail and things like that. in the event — rail and things like that. in the event that nicola sturgeon does get a majority— event that nicola sturgeon does get a majority and she does not need very much— a majority and she does not need very much provided she does as well as we _ very much provided she does as well as we expect her to do. she has 51 msps_ as we expect her to do. she has 51 msps now — as we expect her to do. she has 51 msps now. she then needs 11 greens who are _ msps now. she then needs 11 greens who are probed referendum if she falls short— who are probed referendum if she falls short so they can actually do the top _ falls short so they can actually do the top part. so it looks as if scotland _ the top part. so it looks as if scotland is heading towards the idea of a referendum majority and possibly— of a referendum majority and possibly even the old msp from alex satmond's _ possibly even the old msp from alex salmond's party who is polling very low. where the stick comes, i think, is what _ low. where the stick comes, i think, is what happens after that. so it's the warnings about you will need passports — the warnings about you will need passports to get backwards and
10:34 pm
forwards — passports to get backwards and forwards. now, the scottish say that is nonsense — forwards. now, the scottish say that is nonsense that is not with the british— is nonsense that is not with the british say. they are giving you would — british say. they are giving you would need border checks if scotland wants— would need border checks if scotland wants to _ would need border checks if scotland wants to pursue his own immigration policy~ _ wants to pursue his own immigration policy he _ wants to pursue his own immigration policy. he would then have a situation _ policy. he would then have a situation of the eu. scotland would io situation of the eu. scotland would go back— situation of the eu. scotland would go back into the eu as independent scotland _ go back into the eu as independent scotland and how would they feel about _ scotland and how would they feel about adopting the euro? again, nicola _ about adopting the euro? again, nicola sturgeon says it won't happen, _ nicola sturgeon says it won't happen, we continued with the british— happen, we continued with the british pound. that's not what the british— british pound. that's not what the british thing. so there is an awful lot there — british thing. so there is an awful lot there to actually unravel and polls _ lot there to actually unravel and polls last — lot there to actually unravel and polls last week were showing scott a little bit _ polls last week were showing scott a little bit less in favour of independence. and maybe to do with the fact— independence. and maybe to do with the fact that theyjust recorded a £40 billion deficit. | the fact that theyjust recorded a £40 billion deficit.— the fact that theyjust recorded a £40 billion deficit. i don't know if either of you _ £40 billion deficit. i don't know if either of you have _ £40 billion deficit. i don't know if either of you have listened - £40 billion deficit. i don't know if either of you have listened to - £40 billion deficit. i don't know if either of you have listened to the j either of you have listened to the any questions programme and the sister programme that airs today on radio for, any answers. there was some sort of comment on this and a number of scots were saying i'm not
10:35 pm
seeing any numbers in the manifesto for a start. when it comes to independence. let's see the numbers. we are not stupid here. i independence. let's see the numbers. we are not stupid here.— we are not stupid here. i think that's a very — we are not stupid here. i think that's a very valid _ we are not stupid here. i think that's a very valid point - we are not stupid here. i think| that's a very valid point actually and in fact since the emergence of alex salmond's new party, although they are polling very low as nigel said at the moment, but what it means is that nicola sturgeon does not own, if you like, the narrative about independence. and it has forced her into a position where she is going to have to talk about and has been increasingly talking about those nitty—gritty issues of immigration, border control, border checks, etc. whereas before she could just say we are going to have a referendum and her nemesis and one—time mentor alex salmond has come up with this new party. so they are to clear independence parties
10:36 pm
and it is now about the detail. and you know is that people have got the appetite for it having seen what's happened post—brexit. we went to see on thursday when people go to the polls. on thursday when people go to the olls. �* ., ., on thursday when people go to the olls. �* . . .., ., , polls. and a final comment on this story from — polls. and a final comment on this story from you. — polls. and a final comment on this story from you, nigel, _ polls. and a final comment on this story from you, nigel, if _ polls. and a final comment on this story from you, nigel, if scotland | story from you, nigel, if scotland is to be getting all of this, you know what else will put their hand up know what else will put their hand up and say what about us? yes. know what else will put their hand up and say what about us? yes, you have the independence _ up and say what about us? yes, you have the independence movement l up and say what about us? yes, you - have the independence movement there as well _ have the independence movement there as well so _ have the independence movement there as well. so so they want a referendum in the next five years. and northern ireland, certainly a much _ and northern ireland, certainly a much bigger push for independence there _ much bigger push for independence there with _ much bigger push for independence there with the idea of having a border— there with the idea of having a border problem now because of brexit — border problem now because of brexit so — border problem now because of brexit. so at the moment the whole union— brexit. so at the moment the whole union is— brexit. so at the moment the whole union is looking a bit fragile. and that's— union is looking a bit fragile. and that's why— union is looking a bit fragile. and that's why borisjohnson union is looking a bit fragile. and that's why boris johnson poz met union— that's why boris johnson poz met union committee has taken so seriously— union committee has taken so seriously in westminster in whitehall and when they meet this week, _
10:37 pm
whitehall and when they meet this week, borisjohnson will whitehall and when they meet this week, boris johnson will chair it. usually— week, boris johnson will chair it. usually it's — week, boris johnson will chair it. usually it's michael go. the chancellor draughted into preside the money. but they are terribly worried — the money. but they are terribly worried they will go down another road where this time independence might— road where this time independence might happen. but i can understand from the _ might happen. but i can understand from the scottish point of view they work vehemently against brexit and if they— work vehemently against brexit and if they wanted to join or rejoin the eu, this _ if they wanted to join or rejoin the eu, this is — if they wanted to join or rejoin the eu, this is the only way to do it. staying — eu, this is the only way to do it. staying on— eu, this is the only way to do it. staying on the front page of the telegraph, second—story there with home testing could replace 10—day isolation. jo. home testing could replace 10-day isolation- 10-— isolation. jo. this is a part of a ilot isolation. jo. this is a part of a pilot preject — isolation. jo. this is a part of a pilot project do _ isolation. jo. this is a part of a pilot project do to _ isolation. jo. this is a part of a pilot project do to start - isolation. jo. this is a part of a pilot project do to start next i isolation. jo. this is a part of a . pilot project do to start next week amongst 40,000 odd people, and the idea is that you get sent a pack of home tests that you take a test every day and then if you have... then post them or send them back but if you go seven days of the negative
10:38 pm
test each day, you then don't have to isolate. it's quite a smart idea if it works, if it's accurate and people do it properly. because it does take away the need for the 10—day self isolation. which of course has this stop start effect on people at work and with kids off school and things like that. so it's a test and we had to see whether it works or not but it could be quite a game changer. so contact with people because the moment if you have been contacted because you have been in contacted because you have been in contact with somebody, you have to isolate for ten days. whereas in this case if you are testing negative every day, then you don't have to do the ten days self isolation which also might encourage people to report symptoms or take it more seriously if they were not facing the fear of ten days potentially without any money if they are out of work. this
10:39 pm
potentially without any money if they are out of work.— they are out of work. this is the same story _ they are out of work. this is the same story on _ they are out of work. this is the same story on the _ they are out of work. this is the same story on the front - they are out of work. this is the same story on the front of - they are out of work. this is the same story on the front of the l same story on the front of the sunday express, nigel, so as we turn to that but we carry on on this subject, end of the nightmare is the way the paper headlines it. and subject, end of the nightmare is the way the paper headlines it.- way the paper headlines it. and the ex - ress is way the paper headlines it. and the express is taking _ way the paper headlines it. and the express is taking both _ way the paper headlines it. and the express is taking both this - way the paper headlines it. and the express is taking both this new- way the paper headlines it. and the | express is taking both this new idea of testing _ express is taking both this new idea of testing and rapid testing at home and the _ of testing and rapid testing at home and the idea that britain is emerging from the pandemic. both things— emerging from the pandemic. both things seem to be true, and i think that when— things seem to be true, and i think that when it — things seem to be true, and i think that when it comes down to doing these _ that when it comes down to doing these home tests, it means that if you don't— these home tests, it means that if you don't catch it from your partner, _ you don't catch it from your partner, your wife, you don't catch it from your partner, yourwife, husband you don't catch it from your partner, your wife, husband or one of the _ partner, your wife, husband or one of the kids— partner, your wife, husband or one of the kids or— partner, your wife, husband or one of the kids or sitting like that, there's— of the kids or sitting like that, there's no— of the kids or sitting like that, there's no reason them if you can keep— there's no reason them if you can keep proving every day that you are negative _ keep proving every day that you are negative that you should not go to work _ negative that you should not go to work in _ negative that you should not go to work in this has been trialed successfully so far in workplaces and schools, which is why it's being rolled _ and schools, which is why it's being rolled out _ and schools, which is why it's being rolled out now to homes. the express

10:41 pm
course was famously scrapped by tony blair. and the telegraph carried on with this campaign after the e referendum, directed referendum. so this again is a briefing that tells you that borisjohnson is expected within weeks that we are going to have a new national flagship that will be named after the duke of edinburgh, who died very recently. it will be and is excited to be named hms prince philip and it will do exactly the same as britannia and it which will basically go around the world flying the flag for britain. and it will also provide a mode of transport for members of the royal family. mode of transport for members of the royalfamily. it is mode of transport for members of the royal family. it is expected to cost about £200 million and whilst i think many people will think it's quite right that there is a fitting tribute to prince philip emma who of course was long associated with the
10:42 pm
sea and the lord high admiral and we see this and i think there will equally be a number of people who think is this a good way to spend money when the economy is taking such a hit because of coronavirus and many people will have lost their jobs and many people have seen their businesses go under? so i think is a controversial one. bran businesses go under? so i think is a controversial one.— controversial one. bran britain then, controversial one. bran britain then. nigel- — controversial one. bran britain then. nigel. i— controversial one. bran britain then, nigel. i agree— controversial one. bran britain then, nigel. i agree with i controversial one. bran britain then, nigel. i agree with jo i controversial one. bran britain i then, nigel. i agree with jo about this. it's then, nigel. i agree with jo about this- it's the _ then, nigel. i agree with jo about this. it's the £200 _ then, nigel. i agree with jo about this. it's the £200 million - then, nigel. i agree with jo about this. it's the £200 million cost i l this. it's the £200 million cost i balk— this. it's the £200 million cost i balk at — this. it's the £200 million cost i balk at do _ this. it's the £200 million cost i balk at. do we recoup that money in goodwill— balk at. do we recoup that money in goodwill because we have a yacht floating _ goodwill because we have a yacht floating around equipment especially at a time _ floating around equipment especially at a time like this we will have lost their— at a time like this we will have lost theirjobs and with the economy still very— lost theirjobs and with the economy still very fragile, the idea of blowing _ still very fragile, the idea of blowing £200 million on a yacht does seem _ blowing £200 million on a yacht does seem to _ blowing £200 million on a yacht does seem to be _ blowing £200 million on a yacht does seem to be a bit extravagant. sol would _ seem to be a bit extravagant. sol would rather that they postpone this one until— would rather that they postpone this one until sometime after the economy

10:45 pm
welcome to click. now, we all know how easy it is to fake things online these days. not even photos, voices or videos are safe, as we well know, right? yes, we've worn fake clothes, we've faked our voices with software. i've even been entirely faked with a virtual me, although i am convinced that she looked ten years older. i whole—heartedly agree. now, later in the program, we're going to see the hollywood version of this when we look behind the scenes at the film tenet. spoiler alert, it wasn't all real. but these days, you don't need a big budget to do this. just think of those zoom backgrounds that we've all been looking at. admittedly the edges of your hair do often give the game away, but these pictures are pretty good — a lot better than we
10:46 pm
would have imagined they could be five years ago. harp glissando. so, check out the next advancements. this is where zoom can put meeting participants into a meeting room, a real one that's not real, although i think something's gone wrong with the sizing here, don't you? my seat�*s way too low and you're far too small. there's a variety of scenes. do you want to meet me for a coffee? oh, lovely! look, here we are in a coffee shop! yeah, look! yeah, i'll have a latte, please. i'd say this is cute, but does it make you feel like we're in the same room, really? no, i still feel like we're on a zoom call. maybe this is one for the audience rather than the participants. but while there is plenty of fakery around, the truth is out there, as a certain fox once said, and there are some people who know where to look. the internet is just such a vast place, and like there's so much out there that's just public, so many ways that information can be manipulated. and even, like, political news can be manipulated in someone's favour,
10:47 pm
so that's where i think open—source intelligence is useful. 18—year—old computer science student kenyon lee has gone viral on tiktok by using so—called open—source intelligence, collecting and analysing publicly available data. his main trick is to guess people's exact height by finding other objects in the same shot and tracking down their exact dimensions. woman: how tall is spencer? now, kenyon did do this test on a video of me that he found online, and we'll come back to that later. mainly on account of it being the most embarrassing video i've ever posted online. but we have some serious stuff to talk about first. look, trust me on this. see, there are groups of people out there who are using open source intelligence techniques to do much more serious detective work. these are anatoliy chepiga and alexander mishkin, widely believed to have been responsible for the salisbury poisonings in 2018.
10:48 pm
this week, a collective of open—source intelligence investigators revealed that they'd also managed to link to these two men to the bombing of a czech ammunition depot four years previously. that collective is bellingcat, and we've met its founder, eliot higgins, before. in 2014, it was just him. but now he has a foundation in the netherlands, 20 staff members and a growing network of volunteers all across the world. i caught up with eliot again recently, and he told me that flight logs of chepiga and mishkin's trip to the uk in 2018 were revealed by a russian news site and that showed that their passport numbers were only a few digits apart, which was, to say the least, unusual. that caught the interest of bellingcat, in particular our investigator christo grozev. so, christo looked in these databases and discovered these two individuals didn't exist before 2012. theyjust popped into existence in these data bases in 2013, which was suspicious.
10:49 pm
he then approached basically an information broker who sold him these domestic passport registration documents and stamped on them was the number of the russian ministry of defence, and it became very clear that these were not ordinary people, that these appeared to be russian intelligence officers. bellingcat�*s investigation didn't end there. their evidence showed that scientists linked to the 2018 poisonings were following russian opposition leader navalny on 40 separate trips in 2020. and that includes the journey where he was poisoned. it seems what we've stumbled on, starting with the skripals story, is this entire kind of network of russian assassinations using nerve agents. and that sounds completely insane, but, you know, we have the receipts, we have the phone records, we have everything that shows this is actually happening, and this is basically unique to russia because russia has this kind of massive amount of corruption where data,
10:50 pm
phone records, even of their spies, are freely available to anyone who does a bit of googling. what tools and software do you and your investigators use when you're looking at photos and you're trying to work out where they've been taken and when you're tracking bits of information back across the internet? we have an online tool box, which is basicallyjust loads of links, by category, that anyone can go and look at and use themselves. probably one of the most powerful tools has been google. things like google earth and google streetview, extremely useful in open—source investigation for figuring out where stuff is filmed and photographed. there's resources now that allow you to track aircraft, like flightradar. you have marinetraffic that allows you to track vessels. absolutely fascinating stuff. that was elliot higgins. right, i can't put this off any longer. it's time to go back to kenyon lee. you remember kenyon lee, yeah? the tiktoker who guessed your height from an online video. yeah, so the problem
10:51 pm
is the video that he chose was my ice bucket challenge video from years ago, which, if you haven't seen, well, you're probably one of the lucky ones. i've seen it...and i can't unsee it. # ijust can't get enough of you...# um, i was trying to raise money for a good cause, in memory of some good people, and so i decided to go full outrageous and i kind of forgot that the internet never forgets. this you? ok, here comes kenyon's video. well, i guess this pic's not that much better. i decided to find spencer's height using this panel from his ice bucket challenge. i overlapped these two frames in photoshop and marked the top of his head and scaled his height using the pixels of the bucket. first we're going to divide the height of the bucket by 134, and multiply that number by 838 to be left with 68.79 inches, or about 5'8" and 4/5 inches which translates to about 174.75cms. anyway, there was a point to all of this! did he get your height right?
10:52 pm
well, yes, good point, let's find out. what did he say? he said 174.75. let's have a look. oh, wow, 175! not bad, not bad at all. not bad considering he did that from the dimensions of a bucket! yeah, good job he didn't use a 3.5—inch floppy disk. now, one of the few films i got to see the cinema last year was tenet, which, as a massive geek, i absolutely loved. and i know you saw it twice, which i don't think i've ever done. yeah, second time with subtitles, which i really recommend, because it helps you to understand what on earth is going on, because this is a film half the story is going forwards and half the story is going backwards at the same time in the same scene! so, maybe it's no surprise that it won the oscar for best visual effects. yeah, and if you did see it and you wondered how they got cars crashing and building exploding in both directions at same time, well, the answer may surprise you. inversion.
10:53 pm
aim it and pull the trigger. you're not shooting the bullet. you're catching it. doing visual effects on a chris nolan film, i imagine is different from the majority of big budget hollywood films with a lot of visual effects in. because his approach is very much about finding ways to film practical elements. wherever possible, we wanted to find ways of filming real components and mixing it up a little bit so that they felt very real and grounded in the real world, but still had that sort of slightly odd kind of... it wasn't just a case of filming forwards things and reversing them, there was more to it than that, more interesting and more complicated. a really good example is where we have cars pulling away quickly and they're an inverted car, you would expect the wheels to spin and throw some dust or gravel out backwards.
10:54 pm
what we did for those, we found a way of dragging a car backwards while its wheels were spinning forwards, so it threw dirt out backwards, but it was going the wrong direction, so then we inverted the thing, so the car pulled away, sucking dust into the back of the wheels. so, that was a really good example of the sort of approach where we find a practical real—world event and then just sort of turn it on its head a little bit so that it felt real but wrong. the end scene in the film obviously contains a lot of big explosion events, and there's combinations of forwards and backwards explosions at the same time, and obviously you can't train an explosion to be backwards, so we had to add one half of that shot. so whenever there's the combination of two things, one of them has been added. so, we certainly did that a lot for the sequence where there's a minefield, the people in trucks running up and down a hill with mines going off, and we used a combination of practical shot filmed elements, but also cg explosions which had

to incidentally match exactly the practical ones because they were right next to each other. another major event in the end battle scene where a building is simultaneously blown up by an inverted group of people and a normal group of people, so it's simultaneously exploding and imploding. so, we built two large, or there were one third scale ten—storey buildings, two matching buildings, and we filmed each of them from a matching camera angle, and we blew one up at the top and one at the bottom. and then we could reverse the film and composite the two together, reverse one of the films and composite the two together, so this building had this sort of simultaneous exploding and imploding event. this reversing the flow of time, doesn't us being here now- mean it never happened?

covertly dodge the downpours. showers work about the widespread but you also had some sunshine. that was how things look for a time and shropshire but those shower clouds were pretty impressive. in seven sure we had a hailstorm that went through leaving a covering on the payments here. the reason we are seeing showers and indeed hale showers as we have a lump of cold air moving in from the north of the last few days. that cold air gets heated strongly by the may sunshine. that causes the air to rise and causes those showers to fall. but of course overnight as things cooled out come of the air kind of collapses so most of the showers fade away. and certainly things looking dry over the next few hours but cold. there is a widespread frost around. lowest the temperature is getting down to around —2 or —3 so if you are heading out first thing sunday morning, a warning for extra layers. remote only because it will be plenty of blue skies and sunshine but it will be cold with that frost in place. through the day showers will initially begin to form across the northwest before becoming

extensive again into the afternoon. some of the heavy showers across the midlands and into eastern england and eastern areas of scotland. a bit of hail and thunder mixed in and those temperatures disappointing at 11-14. and those temperatures disappointing at 11—14. and talking of supporting weather, here comes bank holiday monday. a area of low pressure bringing widespread and fairly heavy outbreaks of rain which we have not really seen for a good month or so. this low pressure will bring heavy rain widely and notjust rain. over the highest grade in northern england and scotland, you may will even see a bit of snow and it will be windy with the winds gusting to near gale force that will make it feel chilly and those temperatures are pretty rubbish really. england and at about 10—12 and for the north scotland and northern ireland at 7—9 and perhaps the far north of scotland we the place with the driest and brightest weather but i won't guarantee it stays entirely dry as probably some showers there as well. wednesday and thursday the pressure moves out of the way but the cold northerly winds are back
