the best of the morning sunshine will be across scotland, northern ireland and western fringes of the uk, but central and southern england, the midlands, into the peak district and across the pennines, also later in east anglia, we will see some showers developing and even if you don't catch the showers you are likely to have rather overcast skies through the day. the best of the weather will be across western and northern areas, belfast and glasgow, i think a stunning day on the way, although the highs will be a little on the modest side, mostly around the teens. you can see the showers continuing across parts of england and also eastern wales, into sunday evening. monday should be a fine day, also a fair bit of cloud around and some sunshine too. hello, this is bbc news. we will be taking a look at tomorrow morning's

papers in a moment at first the headlines. the chancellor, rishi sunak, says g7 finance ministers from the world's leading economies have reached an historic deal to reform the global tax system during talks in london. the head of nhs providers — which represents health trusts in england — says coronavirus vaccines appear to have broken the link between cases and serious illness. meanwhile, covid restrictions have eased across much of scotland, with people in glasgow allowed to socialise indoors and drink alcohol in pubs and restaurants for the first time in nine months. and the first big events of coventry�*s year as the uk's city of culture take place, after a six month delay. hello and welcome to our look ahead

to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me tonight are maya goodfellow, a political writer and academic, and kieran andrews — political editor of the times scotland. welcome to you. let's take a look at the front pages before we discuss them. let's start with the observer. it reports that the prime minister will call on fellow leaders at the g7 to pledge to vaccinate the world's population by the end of 2022. on the express, the historic deal reached today by the g7 group of advanced economies to make multinational companies pay more tax. the telegraph says the government is currently drawing up plans to roll out vaccines to 12—year—old pupils before the new school year. according to the sunday times — the duke and duchess of cambridge could be asked by palace aides

to spend more time in scotland to bolster the cause for the union. we can begin our discussion. good evening to you. we begin with the front page of the observer. an eye—catching story, a call from borisjohnson ahead of the g7 in cornwall next week to vaccinate the world's population by the end of next year. let's begin with you, maya. next year. let's begin with you, ma a. ~ . , , ., , next year. let's begin with you, maa. maya. what this story is really talkin: maya. what this story is really talking about, _ maya. what this story is really talking about, the _ maya. what this story is really talking about, the observers l maya. what this story is really - talking about, the observers saying a number of what they call influential figures saying a failure to agree a vaccination plan for poorer countries could lead to them refusing or being unable or unwilling to take measures to deal with climate change. i think one of the key things from this story in the key things from this story in the observer, the stark statistic that really rich countries and wealthy nations, including the uk, have enough vaccines to inoculate their populations more than twice

over. we see a real disparity, we have known this for some time. in april the world health organization said the average in high income countries, almost one in four people had received a covid vaccine and in low—income countries it was one in more than 500 people. we know the way rich countries have been buying up way rich countries have been buying up but also the way kovacs has not unfortunately been meeting the targets it needs to for a number of different reasons. we need to, at the start of this we talked about how this was a global pandemic and solutions had to be global. everybody was being affected. as we are moving out and seeing everything get better in the uk to a degree we need to remember that these solutions have to be global. when i got my first vaccine dose i was thinking, it is so incredibly unfair that so many around the world don't have access to this right now and we need to see a fast plan to make sure people are vaccinated otherwise we

will see more variants and more people put at risk.— will see more variants and more people put at risk. kieran, we heard in the last couple _ people put at risk. kieran, we heard in the last couple of— people put at risk. kieran, we heard in the last couple of days _ people put at risk. kieran, we heard in the last couple of days from - in the last couple of days from covax, the group looking at vaccine equity and distributing vaccines to poorer countries and at this point it is around 200 million doses short of where it wanted to be. the observer article says it is a key week for uk diplomacy. the uk hasn't so far pledged to donate any additional doses by the end of this year specifically but it has said it will donate surplus vaccines in the future. do you think we can expect some more from borisjohnson at the g7 on this? the some more from boris johnson at the g7 on this? , , ~ g7 on this? the g7 feels like the kind of place _ g7 on this? the g7 feels like the kind of place where _ g7 on this? the g7 feels like the kind of place where boris - g7 on this? the g7 feels like the l kind of place where boris johnson kind of place where borisjohnson will have — kind of place where borisjohnson will have to make some kind of movement on this, not least, as the observer_ movement on this, not least, as the observer article states as well, he is looking — observer article states as well, he is looking ahead to trying to do some _ is looking ahead to trying to do some deals at the cop 26 climate change _ some deals at the cop 26 climate change conference in glasgow. there

pay zero corporation tax because they are declared to be in bermuda. there are a number of critics i have read to from places like the tax justice network and the european network of debt and development, as well as the sort of lower rate of 15%, and biden saying 21%, there is a potential problem with the fine print. it seems at the moment the g7 are saying they will follow oecd plans, meaning the g7 would take the lion's share of any new tax revenues because it privilege places were countries, the headquarters of multinationals are and where consumers are so what it would mean is that poorer countries would potentially lose out on tax revenues that they should be entitled to and lose out at the moment through tax abuse. that's partly to do with where employees are based. so by recognising primarily headquarters and consumers, it potentially disadvantages poorer countries. that sto is on disadvantages poorer countries. that story is on the _ disadvantages poorer countries. that story is on the front page of the telegraph as well, but its main story is this plan to jab

i2—year—olds before the start of the new school year. interesting given the first story we talked about, the prime minister's message to other leaders at the g7 next week, should young kids who seem to be thankfully rarely affected by covered might be getting jabs before adults in other parts of the world? —— affected by covid. j parts of the world? -- affected by covid. ~ . parts of the world? -- affected by covid. ,, ., , ., , covid. i think that should be consistently _ covid. i think that should be consistently at _ covid. i think that should be consistently at the - covid. i think that should be consistently at the forefront i covid. i think that should be i consistently at the forefront of covid. i think that should be - consistently at the forefront of our minds when we think of vaccines here and globally. this story is saying that the vaccine could potentially be rolled out to children as early as august. the sunday telegraph saying these are the plans being drawn up in whitehall at the moment. this comes after the medicines and health care products regulatory agency, the medicines regulator, approved the vaccine for use in 12-15 approved the vaccine for use in 12—15 —year—olds earlier this week. a government source is saying they could potentially be ready in the second half of august to start rolling this out but the government are still waiting for advice from

the jcvi, the are still waiting for advice from thejcvi, thejoint are still waiting for advice from the jcvi, the joint committee are still waiting for advice from thejcvi, thejoint committee on vaccination and immunisation. there are concerns in the uk around the delta variant and the spreading in schools. obviously we still need more data, but the data we have at the moment suggests there is higher transmission with this delta variant and potentially issues around vaccine escape. it is a real concern thinking about the measures that are relaxed and how it is potentially spreading in schools. in a related sto , spreading in schools. in a related story. kieran. — spreading in schools. in a related story, kieran, on _ spreading in schools. in a related story, kieran, on the _ spreading in schools. in a related story, kieran, on the front - spreading in schools. in a related story, kieran, on the front page | spreading in schools. in a related. story, kieran, on the front page of the sunday telegraph, kate bingham will be dame kate. she is the chair of the uk vaccines task force. she is. it's of the uk vaccines task force. she is- it's fair— of the uk vaccines task force. she is. it's fair to _ of the uk vaccines task force. she is. it's fair to say, _ of the uk vaccines task force. she is. it's fair to say, when kate bingham _ is. it's fair to say, when kate bingham took over the vaccines task force, _ bingham took over the vaccines task force. there — bingham took over the vaccines task force, there was a great deal of scepticism, there was criticism of potential— scepticism, there was criticism of potential cronyism and looking at how the — potential cronyism and looking at how the test and trace roll—out had really _ how the test and trace roll—out had really not _ how the test and trace roll—out had really not gone according to plan at

it's one of the most famous stories ever written. it's actually called travels into several remote nations of the world in four parts byjonathan swift, first a surgeon and then a captain of several ships. but you probably know it better as gulliver's travels. well, what have we got here? 300 years after the book was written, i'm following in the footsteps of its author, jonathan swift, to the place that inspired him to write the novel in the first place. this is belvedere house in county westmeath, bang in the centre of ireland. so the story goes jonathan swift was standing about here, looking across the lake where there is

actually a place called lilliput! and he thought, wow, those people in the distance are really small. and the rest is history! i said why isn't there a giant gulliver here in belvedere house? paddy dunning is a music manager and a proprietor of several museums. he's rubbed shoulders with the likes of u2, rem and dame shirley bassey, and now he wants to make some icons of his own. we designed a beautiful statue in wood, larch wood, and we would build a viewing tower from the heart, and inside would be a heritage centre, a museum, dedicated not just to jonathan swift but the writers of the county. so that was where it started. it didn't end there though, did it? so we came up with what is the concept now, which is a statue that has a matrix skin and now we've just launched the giant project, which is the search for 21 sites to build 21 giants

around the world. voiceover: people of the world, welcome to the giant. _ the giant will be an interactive visitor attraction centred around a huge human—shaped moving structure with cafes, restaurants, shops, and a museum to boot, literally, at the boot! the project is currently being masterminded at paddy's residential recording studio grouse lodge and it's caught the attention of eric fraad, an opera director, music producer, movie—maker and all—round creative who wanted to make sure the statue could represent absolutely anybody. one of the possibilities was a gigantic statue, and it's androgynous, and therefore with the leds — not projected, but actually revealed on it — that it makes it a much more spectacular and transformable, rather than a static image.

what kind of shape did you end up going for? essentially, it is an amalgamation of the facial shape of a man, a woman and a child. the human eye cheats, the human eye fills in so much that's not there. if you give it a hint, it will fill in an awful lot and that is part of what it is. is it big enough, do you think? and bear in mind, this is only a small scale concept model. it will be covered with millions and millions of pixels of addressable leds. that is all fed to controllers — the more control you have over the leds, then the greater spectral variations you can have with colour, with intensity.

we've managed to get this big massive movement up to the sky, the winning pose, so that's a big massive movement. these are 60, 80 foot—long arms that would weigh tonnes. if the giant is on the ground on top of the museum, - you'd need an acre. interestingly, somebody in new york has been on and they can do - it on airspace. and that is really interesting. what do you mean by airspace? airspace means they will put it on top - of an existing building. because of covid, a lot of the citiesl are looking at how are they going to get tourism back, _ how are they going to get people back into their countries - and their cities? what is the draw going to be? we do think that the technology that we've got will be the future of statues and there won't be just an image of one person.

we think that images will change as society changes. and in fact, the image that paddy thinks will draw most attention is the image of you. part of the visitor experience will involve getting your whole body scanned and then thrown up onto the statue for all to see. voiceover: the world's most awe-inspiring selfie! - you can look up and you will become the giant. you're calling this the world's biggest selfie. it's the world's biggest selfie. there's nothing like it on the planet. you cannot ignore it, can you. no, it's so big, it's going to be gigantic. poor, poor, foolish little people, look what you've done. with goliath ambitions, the giant company hopes to raise hundreds of millions of dollars and plans to roll out the first five by the end of this year. one things for sure — the scope of that task will be enormous! when i first heard about this project, i thought it was nuts.

but then i got here and i saw the scale model of the head and i started to understand how it could work, and the technology needed to bring this to life is proven, it's just coloured leds, so maybe the main question is whether people will want it. but we're living in the century of the selfie, so, i kinda have a feeling they will. now, if there's one thing i know about lj rich, it's that she loves her thrills. here she is on a vr roller—coaster from a few years ago. and so, when we found out legloand had a new flying theatre ride, well, there was only one person we could really send

to find out how it works. lj: like many of us, i often dreamed of flying as a child. i think that's why i love thrill rides and theme parks — secure the harness, forget your daily worries and simply escape into the sky for a few beautiful minutes. oh! i'm gonna crash! this is the newly opened flight of the sky lion at legoland, the uk's first flying theatre ride and i'm lucky enough to be in before it opens to the public. it's like vr, but without the headset! the only person on one of seven gondolas spread across three floors. the ultimate in social distancing. it's a wonderful and complex mix of creativity and technology. behind—the—scenes, the maintenance team kindly put the ride into manual. when the ride starts, the gondola rotates towards and into a concave 20 metre high screen. here's a close—up of the motorised mechanics in action, which are surprisingly quiet.

there are three for each axis, allowing for a 30 degree swing, a 23 degree pitch, and three degrees of yaw, that's left and right. during the ride, fragrant mist is sprayed from on—board canisters so we can smell sea air or... baby lava dragon burps. it's clear how much the video, lighting and music add to the atmosphere. the sight, the sound, the smell, the movement, the music! to be as overwhelming as it is, i know how the technology works but even knowing how it works, it works on my body, physically, in a way that's quite astounding. inside the control room, the ride operator monitors the gondola's precise movements, and theo is one of those responsible for working out exactly how it's moving and when. on the computer first we would understand where those peaks are and where those drops are. and we'd programme that in and then we'd essentially go for a ride, and we'd film that

ride and also speak whilst we're riding it and we had a big digital metre on the ride so we could say, at two minutes ten, we need to bring this movement back. or we need to exaggerate that big drop at three minute ten, we gotta bring that forward. the video creators also need to have intimate knowledge of how the ride moves. one of the first things we actually start with is what we kinda call the ride envelope, what are those degrees of motion, three degrees, forward, back, pitch and roll, things like that. so all those kind of mechanical engineering things are built into the way we work with our camera. even though the right envelope might be x, we trick your brain into y, because even though maybe the seat moves just a little bit down, if we then continue the camera further down, and slow down

the way the seat moves down and speed up the camera, you have the sense that you're going much faster than you may actually be, or you may be going at a steeper rate of descent than you actually are, so it's understanding the mechanical engineering side of it and then how we actually trick your brain. outside, the sculptures hold 1.76 million lego bricks. they're hybrid lego animals which move when you access them through the app, a kind of augmented reality contactless safari. and, post—covid, the park's director is optimistic people will eventually return, even though some of us are still risk averse. the last year obviously has been very, very challenging with the pandemic and we've had to have a number of measures in place such as social distancing so we've had to reduce the amount of people coming actually into the park in the first place. we do collaborate with our competitors, on something like this, it's very important we as an industry can reopen and get guests coming through the doors again for the longer—term recovery. there'sjust time for one more ride.

that was lj, having the time of her life! and that's it for the short cut edition of this week, the full length edition is waiting for you right now on iplayer, and don't forget you can find us on social media any time you fancy. we're on youtube, facebook, instagram and twitter, @bbcclick. thanks for watching and we'll see you soon. hello. the weather on sunday is going to be a little hit and miss, particularly across england. you are likely to have a lot more cloud around compared to saturday and there will be a few showers around too. but across scotland and northern ireland, i think it's a case of sunshine right from the word go.

on the satellite picture you can notice this little lump of cloud drifting out of the south—west. it is a weak weather front, actuallyjoining a big area of low pressure to the north, but that will bring some showers to parts of wales and england from morning onwards. this is what it looks like through the early hours. you can see some rain affecting parts of devon, dorset, into wales and the midlands, stray shower in the north of scotland but generally speaking a clear night in scotland, northern ireland, probably the lake district as well. but many of us in england and wales will be waking up to overcast skies and it could actually stay like that through the afternoon as well. i think the biggest chance of catching some heavier showers further south and into the midlands but also around wales and east anglia. the best of the weather on sunday in northern ireland, scotland, the lake district should be fine too, but modest highs of 16—18.

in the south and despite the clouds still managing around 21 in london. and there's the clock, 8pm, 9pm, still showers around across parts of england and wales. so not a completely dry day but with a bit of luck you will have prolonged sunny spells rather than heavy showers. on monday, also likely to be some showers around, particularly across northern and eastern areas of the uk so the best of the weather, although hazy at times out towards the west, i think. but decent enough with temperatures around 22 in london, 20 in liverpool, probably nudging up to 20 in glasgow as well for monday. the rest of the week, tuesday, wednesday and thursday, the jet stream pushing low pressure and weather fronts, mostly between scotland and iceland but there is the chance some of these weather systems will clip the far north—west of the uk and in the south we will be closer to high pressure so basically the further south you are, the better the weather will be in the week ahead. further north, dry generally

but always a bit more cloud. that's it from me, goodbye.
