6:50 pm
amount of events to make this fight happened, but it is a battle of egos, a battle of brothers, whatever you want to call it. whenever you get two brothers fighting, you get 100% because they don't want to let their egos go the other way. that is true. are their egos go the other way. that is true- are you _ their egos go the other way. that is true- are you guys _ their egos go the other way. that is true. are you guys talking - their egos go the other way. that is true. are you guys talking at - their egos go the other way. that is true. are you guys talking at all? i l true. are you guys talking at all? i said to him, i set, if we are going to be fighting each other, i was you at the press conference, i was see you at the way in, but... normally we communicate per two fistfights and i give my son how to train, and he sends video clips of sparring, i say, drop your left—hand here... i'm normally giving him advice on boxing. but obviously, i cannot do that now now that i'm fighting him, and, yeah, we put ourfriendship on pause. we are still friends. we put it on pause until after the fight. i want to make sure that i am there when he wakes up on the september 11, to give them a nice hug and wish
6:51 pm
ii, to give them a nice hug and wish him well. the battle of egos has commenced! that is all from us here on sportsday. thank you for watching. we will have more for you throughout the evening. take care. hello, you're watching i'm lu kwesa —— you're watching bbc news. the data watchdog is warning pub customers to think carefully before handing over personal information when signing up to apps before ordering drinks. app and web—based ordering has become pretty commonplace during the pandemic — and despite the easing of restrictions, the big pub chains are continuing to offer them as an option, but there are concerns about the amount of personal data being collected. our consumer affairs correspondent colletta smith has the story. i'll wait until we've all ordered. the lads are out for pints —
6:52 pm
but which will be quicker, the app or the bar? the race is on. table service sweeps in with the phone orders before the slow coaches make it back. if this place was packed, i would be dreaming for the app, i wouldn't go anywhere near the bar. you end up with ten different passwords — greene king, wetherspoons, i've got so many different apps. postcode, e—mail, there seems like a lot of irrelevant information that you don't technically need. the information is irrelevant, we all know it, but it's kind of the cost we have to pay almost, i think. but the privacy watchdog wants customers to be careful not to give away too many personal details. it needs to be relevant to the order and it also needs to be not excessive. if you are a member of the public and you're filling in your details, and you think, "hang on a second, they want my name and address, they want all my personal details," question it. if it feels excessive, just pause for a second. we have been in touch with the biggest pub chains, who have all told me their apps
6:53 pm
are here to stay. they've all got one now. and tech companies say take—up across the industry is still on the rise. in terms of small, independent businesses, you know, the take—up has been slower, but it is still probably around 50%. the data that we collect from individuals has gradually, gradually been worn away now to a point where we want to make it as simple and easy as possible for customers to sign up. bar manager steve makes a little less money on every order through the app, but it's staying because plenty of customers are still using it. bar service is higher. it is roughly 70% at the moment compared to the app, which is 30, but on our busy periods, friday and saturday nights, then the app comes into play more because people don't particularly want to queue at the bar, so they use the table service more. whether you are an app addict or you've got an app aversion, the reality is that these things are here to stay, with more and more venues offering apps as an option for customers to order. but for most of us, the reality is we'll never read the terms
6:54 pm
and conditions behind the app — especially after you've had a few. however the next round is ordered, the chief question is, who's paying? cheers, guys. colletta smith, bbc news, in manchester. an apprenticeship is usually in trades like plumbing, hairdressing or brick—laying — but one town in devon has been giving young people training in stilt—walking, clowning and puppetry. it's part of an effort to give traditional seaside entertainment a boost, and attract more visitors. sarah ransome went to have a look. roll up, roll up, come and see the punch and judy show! echoing the past on the prom... i can go out and do funny things and spread joy and be joyful. make way! ..trainee street performers are putting into practice newly learned skills of the showman...
6:55 pm
i think we all need a laugh and we all need to feel joyous at the moment. ..in celebration of traditional seaside entertainment. in its heyday, one of the draws of the great british holiday were the professional performers. the hope is it's the same for this new generation. you see a man, six, seven, eight foot tall, walking down the street in the 18005, it will have the same reaction as right now. it's actually the same joy and the same feelings of excitement, and i don't think that's a thing that will stop. welcome to uncle taco's flea circus! as overseas travel became more pocket friendly, small resorts like this one saw visitor numbers drop. now a new project has seasoned showmen sharing the tricks of their trade to help keep the skills alive, in the hope
6:56 pm
of also giving a family friendly boost to the town. we grew up in teignmouth and remembered watching it when we were children, many, many years ago. and it's really nice to see. it's important to try and keep the traditions going, isn't it? | it brings back childhood i memories, to be honest. it's exciting, it's just amazing. i'll give you a jolly one this time. and it's notjust about the music, the magic and the merriment. the skills they've got in teamwork, i pride, a sense of their confidencei in presenting in public space, these are life skills, i hope, i that they'll take with them for the rest of their lives, i and an experience i they'll never forget. while the sun shines, the shows will go on. the plan is to take the training and the tricks to more places next year. sarah ransome, bbc news, in teignmouth. just going to bring you some breaking news, and we are hearing
