10:31 pm
hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are lizzy buchan,
10:32 pm
the political correspondent for the daily mirror, and matt dathan, home affairs editor at the times. lovely to see you both. a quick look through the front pages. the daily telegraph reports that borisjohnson has said everyone "must play their part" and get the covid jab, amid concern that the spread of the indian variant is being fuelled by those who have refused to be vaccinated. the guardian quotes health experts suggesting people should ignore tomorrow's easing of lockdown in england, and avoid socialising indoors in pubs and restaurants — in order to stop the new indian variant leading to a third wave of covid—19. meanwhile, according to the daily mail, the prime minister is urging families to adopt a " heavy dose of caution�* with the ban on indoor socialising and hugs ending in england tomorrow.
10:33 pm
the times says foreign holidays are in chaos after the health secretary warned against visiting countries on the "amber list" despite lifting a ban on leisure travel outside the uk. meanwhile, the financial times that at&t is nearing a deal to combine its content unit, warnermedia, with rival discovery — to create a media giant with an enterprise value of $150bn. trust me on that. we will bring you that at 11:30 p:m.. but let's concentrate on this addition. the lid to see you both. kick us off, lizzie, with the lead story on the front page of the telegraph, play your part to beat the variant. yes. we are getting — your part to beat the variant. yes. we are getting big _ your part to beat the variant. yes we are getting big lockdown changes tomorrow. in the past we've come out
10:34 pm
of the stages we've had jubilant front page is saying we can get back to the park and you can go on holiday but there is a really different tone today so tomorrow is the first day of the third road map allowed to have indoor mixing, pubs and restaurants can open indoors, hug yourfriends and and restaurants can open indoors, hug your friends and family, a lot of really exciting things, foreign travel, but because of the concerns about the spread of the indian covid—19 variant in the uk, the prime minister has put out a statement tonight urging people to take what he is you calling a heavy dose of caution with their enjoyment of any freedoms and there is a very different kind of tone in the advice coming out about the rules are changing and you will be allowed to do more things but you have to take care because they are just not quite sure yet what the situation, how that with the indian variant will pan out. i
10:35 pm

10:37 pm
being quite critical of lockdowns for a lot of this period and are arguing for what matt was saying, a lot of businesses have been really struggling, they really need to be reopening them all sorts of problems with unemployment, we need to be reopening society, so those voices are in his ear about trying to balance the difference between restrictions and the economic impact and people's health.— and people's health. when you look further into — and people's health. when you look further into this, _ and people's health. when you look further into this, mps _ and people's health. when you look further into this, mps are _ and people's health. when you look further into this, mps are calling . further into this, mps are calling on the prime ministers to reject the warnings from scientists. that is quite a statement. it warnings from scientists. that is quite a statement.— warnings from scientists. that is quite a statement. it is. we further sa voices quite a statement. it is. we further say voices throughout. _ quite a statement. it is. we further say voices throughout. sir - quite a statement. it is. we further say voices throughout. sir graham | say voices throughout. sir graham brady, _ say voices throughout. sir graham brady, iain— say voices throughout. sir graham brady, iain duncan smith, i think it is a real— brady, iain duncan smith, i think it is a real sort — brady, iain duncan smith, i think it is a real sort of commit shows us that when— is a real sort of commit shows us that when we come to voting on the restrictions— that when we come to voting on the restrictions left on 215t ofjune, to reimpose or to sustain or keep

10:39 pm
which is we can proceed with unlocking but everybody has to get vaccinated. vaccinations are critical that we didn't have last year. that is what they are pinning their hopes on will allow us to return to our normal life were as normal as it can be. this has been a real kind of matter for discussion in recent weeks. the vaccine roll has been going really well but there are still quite large chunks of the population who haven't had that, young people who still aren't eligible and i think they are basically bracing to see whether the vaccine is effective against the indian variant and whether that will allow us to continue moving forward. matt hancock this morning was talking on television about how they had got early data from actual university that gives them a high level of confidence that the vaccine
10:40 pm
does work and that there is good data coming down from india showing it is effective, so the best thing anybody can do is just get vaccinated because it protects you and other. if vaccinated because it protects you and other. ., and other. if we turn to the guardian. _ and other. if we turn to the guardian, we're _ and other. if we turn to the guardian, we're still- and other. if we turn to the | guardian, we're still talking and other. if we turn to the - guardian, we're still talking about the same subject here, if as a member of the publicly you are to look at the variety of papers and the headlines, it would be confusing. do this in don't do it but if you do you have to do this. they are saying britain is opening up they are saying britain is opening up of the experts are winning the public to continue as we were really. public to continue as we were reall . ., , , . , really. -- warning the public. they uuote a really. -- warning the public. they quote a former— really. -- warning the public. they quote a former chief _ really. -- warning the public. they quote a former chief scientific - quote a former chief scientific adviser— quote a former chief scientific adviser and the biggest doctors union— adviser and the biggest doctors union and a leading epidemiologist as well— union and a leading epidemiologist as well saying that yes, legally we can go— as well saying that yes, legally we can go a _ as well saying that yes, legally we can go a meeting pubs in each other's— can go a meeting pubs in each other's houses in groups of six or two households but they are saying none of _ two households but they are saying none of us — two households but they are saying none of us are doing it and you should — none of us are doing it and you should think twice as well. it is a very— should think twice as well. it is a very mixed — should think twice as well. it is a very mixed message, we discussed a

10:42 pm
has sent an envoy tojerusalem to hold talks and the international community is trying very hard to kind of call for calm here, but the situation seems to be rapidly escalating. it is interesting. you've got the picture there on the page of the ft. those look like troops. they are troops they are gathering on the border. then you look at the picture on the front page of the guardian, this is what is taking place in the gaza strip. what are your thoughts on the crisis? the un security council met today but there was no statement. that is right. the un secretary—general said all that could — secretary—general said all that could be — secretary—general said all that could be going into open tables security— could be going into open tables security humanitarian crisis if there — security humanitarian crisis if there is— security humanitarian crisis if there is no— security humanitarian crisis if there is no cease—fire. but there are no— there is no cease—fire. but there are no signs _ there is no cease—fire. but there are no signs of israel stopping
10:43 pm
their— are no signs of israel stopping their bombardment today. the security— their bombardment today. the security cabinet approved plans to continue _ security cabinet approved plans to continue is — security cabinet approved plans to continue is military action and i think— continue is military action and i think part — continue is military action and i think part of this is the israeli military— think part of this is the israeli military want the return of two bodies — military want the return of two bodies into soldiers were killed, and two — bodies into soldiers were killed, and two other israeli civilians as well, _ and two other israeli civilians as well, so — and two other israeli civilians as well, so i — and two other israeli civilians as well, so i think we're in for a long ball here — well, so i think we're in for a long ball here in — well, so i think we're in for a long ball here in that is very musty message _ ball here in that is very musty message coming from benjamin netanyahu and it is really quite that there's really no consensus internationally as well. netanyahu quotes— internationally as well. netanyahu quotes the us saying that the us are fully behind us, not sure that they are. fully behind us, not sure that they are it _ fully behind us, not sure that they are it is _ fully behind us, not sure that they are. it is very worrying we are likely— are. it is very worrying we are likely to — are. it is very worrying we are likely to see the violence continue. china _ likely to see the violence continue. china very— likely to see the violence continue. china very upset and concerned about the us stance at that meeting. saying the us were effectively being obstructive and trying to solve the matter. we will go back to the financial times. the story from a rishi sunak holds back on the bite and's plan meditech concerns.
10:44 pm
unravel that for us. yes. an interesting story. the ft have got that basically the uk is resisting urges from the us for a global agreement on a corporation text without the reason that they say this is happening is because rishi sunak is really keen to make sure that the us tech giants based in california are being taxed in the uk. ., , ., , ., ., uk. one of the things he wants to do is to increase — uk. one of the things he wants to do is to increase corporation _ uk. one of the things he wants to do is to increase corporation tax - uk. one of the things he wants to do is to increase corporation tax in - is to increase corporation tax in the uk to at least 25%, so if the uk agrees to this a global tax, they wouldn't be able to text these companies in line with what what they do in the uk. it is quite interesting, a conflict there of how
10:45 pm
far the uk going to push his desire to try to take on the tech giants effectively, not only on taxation but also what other kinds of regulations as well. the but also what other kinds of regulations as well. the heart of this is a dispute _ regulations as well. the heart of this is a dispute over _ regulations as well. the heart of this is a dispute over how- regulations as well. the heart of this is a dispute over how and i regulations as well. the heart of- this is a dispute over how and where the company should pay a tax. should facehook— the company should pay a tax. should facebook pays tax on sales or revenue — facebook pays tax on sales or revenue that has generated in the uk and or— revenue that has generated in the uk and or should it be a global tax and rishi _ and or should it be a global tax and rishi sunak— and or should it be a global tax and rishi sunak fears that if we go down a global— rishi sunak fears that if we go down a global tax route than he fears the us will— a global tax route than he fears the us will gobble up all that tax revenue _ us will gobble up all that tax revenue. both rishi sunak recently has announced that the uk government will raise _ has announced that the uk government will raise corporation text up the 25%~ _ will raise corporation text up the 25%~ it— will raise corporation text up the 25%~ it will— will raise corporation text up the 25%. it will see how this plays out. his plans— 25%. it will see how this plays out. his plans to — 25%. it will see how this plays out. his plans to tax the tech giants. we will his plans to tax the tech giants. will leave it his plans to tax the tech giants. - will leave it there for now. more stories and front pages in the next
10:46 pm
edition. lizzy buchan and matt dathan will be back at 11.30 for another look at the papers. goodbye for now. next up it's click. welcome to click. we're outside again. great to see you in the flesh again. and you. i can't believe it. no matter how long it is since i've seen people, as soon as i see friends and family again, it's like we've never been apart! yep, too right. although this time round, i think everybody�*s really gone for it with their hair, since the hairdresser�*s reopened. i don't know what you're talking about. i tell you what, though,
10:47 pm
it is true that we've spent so much time apart in the last year that when we do see people in the reals, you really notice the difference. my parents can't believe how much my kids have grown since they last saw them. and that's kind of what we're talking about today — the fact that even though we're all getting older on the outside, there are ways to stay younger on the inside by hacking our health. now, if you're anything like me you may be using an activity tracker to log your exercise. but at the moment, we're just scratching the surface of the data that's hidden inside our bodies. aside from exercise, there's genetics, sleep, diet — so many other lifestyle factors that can really make a difference. and there are some people who believe that if we can unlock this complete picture of our health, then we might be able to stop or even reverse the ageing process. instead of talking about lifespan, we're now talking about health span — the desire to stay as fit and healthy as possible for as long as possible, even though the years are ticking on by. though the years have been clocking up on this fine frame,
10:48 pm
my chronological age, therefore, is 47 but there is something else called a biological age, which is the age that you are inside. now, i've had that checked. have a guess at the results. um, 21? now she is just is taking the mickey. let's find out. king's genomics centre — part of a world—leading research university in london, and where i'm discovering the secrets in my dna. so james, a few weeks ago, i spat into a tube and posted it to you. you're welcome. my epigenetic age is... 44.1. not too bad! yeah, so your biological age, it's basically seeing how your cells are ageing, the various things such as your diet, how much stress you're under, how much sleep you're getting. it's a nice barometer to predict your future health. my genes didn'tjust deliver one age though. muhdo uses artificial intelligence to trawl through 850,000 different biological markers to deliver different ages for
10:49 pm
different body parts. for example, my eye age is 53 but my hearing age is 43.7. and the key thing that scientists now know is that although your genes do set you on your life's course, they are not set in stone. your genetics will underpin most of your predispositions, so they'll give you a positive or a negative. whether that actually comes into fruition is up to you, really, because you flick on these genes with your lifestyle and environment. the company has run tests with some 2,500 people, but more research will be needed to take some of its advice from anecdotal evidence to scientific fact. if you want to reduce your memory age then dancing is quite good, apparently. i've got old eyes? carrots. we're always being told that carrots are quite good for us and that's actually true. have you ever seen a rabbit wearing glasses? now, whether you go the full bugs bunny or whether you samba your way to better brain
10:50 pm
health, this is about building a personalised picture of health. what works for me will not work for you and vice—versa, but we'll be able to actually pinpoint what your diet needs to look like, how much stress you can be exposed to, what pharmaceuticals you can and cannot take. we can pinpoint them exactly, specifically, to you. ok, i'm going to try to go to bed maybe an hour earlier. i'm going to go for a walk in the morning. what's that going to do to my biological age? so it gamifies genetics. muhdo has partnered with king's college london, where experts say that our biological age isn't fixed. and in fact, it doesn't have to progress in just one direction. the ageing, or biological score, is malleable. the risk of getting an age—related disease, such as diabetes, can be increased or decreased based on your lifestyle. and that's led some people who i've met in the past to suggest that we might be able to stop the ageing process altogether.
10:51 pm
most notably aubrey de gray, who famously suggested that within the next century, we might be able to extend our lifespan by hundreds of years. we develop ways at the molecular and cellular level to repair the damage that the body does to itself throughout life. there's a lot of talk about stopping the ageing process or even reversing the ageing process. towards the end of my lifetime, probably, i think we can have immortality, if you're willing to pay for it. now, genetic trackers are not the only testing tool to help counter ageing. another company has analysed things called glycans in my blood. these have given me an idea of the age of my immune system. in this case, we're looking at sugars on immunoglobulin, which is the most abundant antibodies, so it's a key weapon in our arsenal
10:52 pm
in our immune system. now, you've measured my biological age at 20. i was flattered for a few seconds and i thought "no, that can't be right." a 40— 50—year—old can have a much younger glycan age, and that's really good for you. if you're talking about grey hairs or skin, then i would use a different clock for that. now, all of these different numbers attached to different bits of my body are leading me to think that we are using the wrong word here. a biological score would be a more sensible way of thinking about your age. and the fact that you can change your biological score is very positive. it's not all doom and gloom — "i'm set to be old and decrepit at a certain time in my life". this can be slowed down or even reversed. whatever your personal measurement is, scores like this could flag impending ill—health with studies
10:53 pm
spotting that a change in your glycans could signal coming arthritis, cardiovascular disease or diabetes up to a decade before onset. 0ur dataset is really good, so it's 150,000 people that some which we've followed for 20—30 years. it's a warning where you can still do something about it and prevent it. and just a small warning — a good score now doesn't give you a free pass to a healthy future. so it changes — it's not something that's going to stay the same throughout. and this is a way for you to know if something particularly works for you. when it comes to those living with dementia, a new brain analysis tool could help provide earlier diagnosis and even, potentially, assist in creating better drugs to help. jen copestake's been finding out more. using tools to monitor patients remotely has become more pressing since the coronavirus pandemic. a collaborative study called radar—ad aims to help see how alzheimer's patients can be
10:54 pm
monitored in new and improved ways. one of the assessment tools in the study is an augmented reality app called altoida, which is showing spatial navigation and memory function. it works by asking the person to choose three virtual objects and place them around a room. they then have to remember where they placed the objects, what order it was and what the actual object was. device: go to where you want to place the heart. _ as well as this memory test, off—the—shelf technology like fitbits and cameras are being repurposed too. this is a medallion camera that the participant wears around their neck, and it captures digital photographs on a cyclic basis. so it doesn't take constant footage but it does provide valuable contextual information. while alzheimer's is not a movement disorder, gait analysis trackers can gather useful data points. two go on the instep of each foot and then the final one goes on the right hip. we do know that as cognitive
10:55 pm
decline worsens it does cause changes in walking patterns, so they might suddenly change direction or stop because they're not sure where they are, they've realised they're going in the wrong direction. in the uk, over 850,000 people are living with dementia. do you want me to run through the instructions again briefly? normally, dementia is diagnosed through a series of paper memory tests, in person, with a doctor. but these tests lack nuance and can be learned by the patient over time. john hart and his partner richard pinder are here in crowborough hospital in east sussex testing a new app called cognetivity which aims to prevent this. so if you see an animal, you're clicking on the right side of the screen. john's recently been diagnosed with alzheimer's disease. there were many verbal tests and number tests. i'm used to people respecting me and not asking silly questions. to be in that position
10:56 pm
i think was difficult at first, really. instead of lists of questions, the app flashes rapid images. each picture is either an image of an animal or not an animal. the user indicates their choice by pressing the left or right side of the ipad screen. as it cannot be learned, the test gives an objective analysis of the patient�*s neurological state, even when repeated multiple times. what the test does is use what we call rapid visual categorisation. and it's really looking to see how quickly the brain can process complicated information. is it always an animal or a landscape? it's always an animal or not an animal. and that's actually a very important aspect of the test because the human brain is very finely tuned to be able to pick up on animal stimuli. the use of this will make it easier to assess larger numbers of patients, but more importantly, it speeds the referral process and results in early diagnosis
10:57 pm
and early treatment for patients which is exceptionally important. another possible way to remotely measure cognitive function is through brainwave analysis. headsets like this one from belfast brainwave bank could be used at home to track changes in brain activity. the eeg scanner connects with a smartphone app to record and analyse data. as subtle changes in brain activity can be observed up to ten years before symptoms of dementia present, these technologies could all be vital in early diagnosis. and the more individual data that's collected can also feed into bespoke treatment plans and drug development. that's it for the short version of this week's click. the full—length version is available to watch on iplayer. well worth a watch because i've seen it and ifeel youngerjust from watching it. do you? i'm actually feeling like i should have been doing some of those anti—ageing things that i haven't been. i'm hoping it's not too late. come on, if you haven't been doing them, no—one has! that is all we've got time for in this short version, i'm afraid.
10:58 pm
as ever, you can find the team on social media, on youtube, instagram, facebook and twitter, @bbcclick. thanks for watching and we'll see you soon. bye— bye. hello there. dark looming clouds brought some real torrential storms across some parts of the uk on sunday, and more to come on monday, but across western areas in particular, a greater chance of staying dry and enjoying the sunshine that's around. there will be some around first thing on monday morning, though, often quite a bit of cloud around. a frost free start, but a few showers west of scotland, western parts of england and wales, but that's when you're going to see the showers. they will be fading, pushing their way eastward through the day, allowing western areas to have a largely drier day then we saw through sunday.
10:59 pm
