10:30 pm
time for a look at the weather with alina. hello. we have had some patchy light rain and drizzle across parts of england and wales today, but the bulk of the rain is pushing into northern and western scotland and northern ireland and will continue overnight. weakening a little as the night wears on. further south across england and wales, a lot of cloud, some drizzle, and a few breaks in the cloud, and where we do see the breaks, we could see temperatures down to 5—6 celsius where we keep the cloud. 7—10 celsius the overnight low. still a weakening band of patchy rain tomorrow morning across southern scotland initially into parts of northern england, wales, maybe the far southwest of england. that will weaken as the day goes on. sunshine for scotland and northern ireland, cloudier further south with some mist and fog lingering through the morning. it's going to stay mild both by day
10:31 pm
and by night in the week ahead, in fact temperatures by friday could get up to 14—15 celsius. mainly dry for much of england and wales, most of the rain across the north and west of scotland. this is bbc news with me. welcome back. i am shown life.
10:32 pm
we'll be taking a look at tomorrow morning's papers in a moment with lucy beresford and joe twyman. first the headlines: the prime minister borisjohnson says the cop26 climate deal is a "game—changing agreement," despite concerns over the watered down commitments on phasing out fossil fuels like coal. a man has died after a car exploded outside a hospital in liverpool — three men have been arrested under the terrorism act. the queen misses the remembrance sunday ceremony at the cenotaph, for the first time in 22 years, but other members of the royal familyjoin the nation to remember those who died in past conflicts. hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are broadcaster and psychotherapist lucy beresford and joe twyman, the director of deltapoll. let's bring you up—to—date at home.
10:33 pm
tomorrow's front pages, starting with... these are the pages they have been looking at the last half hour since they came in. let's start with the metro, which leads on the news that the queen has cancelled her appearance at remembrance sunday due to health issues. there is a rather mournful —looking image of the duchess of cambridge far. the mail has the story of a car explosion outside liverpool women's hospital, killing a passenger and injuring the driver. that story also leads the daily telegraph, which reports three men have been arrested under the terrorism act. the ft leads with business groups expressing dismay over the watered—down climate deal, after india and china objected to ending the use of coal fossil fuels. the guardian has cop26 president alok sharma say the two countries will have to explain themsleves to poorer nations. and the online version of the independent headlines comments from borisjohnson,
10:34 pm
who said he was disappointed with the outcome, but insisted the cop26 deal was the "death knell for coal power." right, it is not hard to see what the most grabbing images. it is a shocking image on the front of the daily mail and shocking image on the front of the daily mailand again shocking image on the front of the daily mail and again on the front of the telegraph with the burning remains of a car which exploded outside liverpool women's hospital will stop we don't know if that is where it was intended to explode or indeed it was a deliberate explosion or not, but there are three arrests. really not much more we can say about that, but it is worth drawing attention to it, it is worth drawing attention to it, it is on the front pages for you because it is likely to be the picture that will grab most people's attention tomorrow morning, certainly when they are seeing newspapers on the rack on their way into work, perhaps. instead, let's look at the front of the metro, which, lucy, it is interesting because of course it is a mournful event, remembrance sunday, a sorrowful event, in many ways. you have to wonder whether the
10:35 pm
expression on the duchess of cambridge's face is more about the soldiers and that event, rather than the absence of the green. yes. soldiers and that event, rather than the absence of the green.— the absence of the green. yes, she is lookin: the absence of the green. yes, she is looking down _ the absence of the green. yes, she is looking down from _ the absence of the green. yes, she is looking down from the _ the absence of the green. yes, she is looking down from the balcony . the absence of the green. yes, she l is looking down from the balcony and therefore presumably looking down into whitehall where all of the servicemen were walking past, but unfortunately the main story has to be the fact that contrary to what we were all expecting the queen was not able to attend. now, we had been led to believe that for the past 2—3 weeks everything was being done to ensure she would be able to attend this particular event, which is arguably the key event in the world calendar every year and just something that the queen has not missed for very many years now. but i reminded of a line that she said in her own speech, her online speech at the beginning of the cop26 conference, which was that, none of us live forever. and it was almost as if she was, i suppose, i hope
10:36 pm
this isn't too fanciful, to imagine that it was almost like a coded message to remind us that actually we will all die at some point and we as a nation at some point are going to have to come to terms with the fact that the queen will also not live forever. so today because it was the one day that one would have expected to see her and we didn't, it rather brought it home that this could be something we might have to get used to very soon. jae. could be something we might have to get used to very soon.— get used to very soon. joe, is there an sense get used to very soon. joe, is there any sense of. _ get used to very soon. joe, is there any sense of, notwithstanding - get used to very soon. joe, is there any sense of, notwithstanding that| any sense of, notwithstanding that old horse chestnut about republican or monarchist, whether in a sense there is more of a kind of a mood that has come out about how she is regarded now compared to how she was regarded, say, 25 years ago, when she was still quite a vigorous woman early in her late 60s, when we had all the controversy over diana the princess of wales and we had her fire at windsor and all of that kind
10:37 pm
of stuff. she'd become a more accepted figure, in some ways? is there any evidence for that? well. there any evidence for that? well, she has always — there any evidence for that? well, she has always been _ there any evidence for that? well, she has always been a _ there any evidence for that? well, she has always been a popular - there any evidence for that? well, she has always been a popular figure and what _ she has always been a popular figure and what is _ she has always been a popular figure and what is most interesting in recent— and what is most interesting in recent years is how views of the monarchy — recent years is how views of the monarchy as an institution has become — monarchy as an institution has become virtually inseparable in public — become virtually inseparable in public opinion terms from views of the queen— public opinion terms from views of the queen as a person. and, as she has become — the queen as a person. and, as she has become older, she in a sense has adopted _ has become older, she in a sense has adopted the _ has become older, she in a sense has adopted the role of the nation's grandmother and adopted the role of the nation's grandmotherand so, adopted the role of the nation's grandmother and so, that is viewed in a different way. she has has had missteps _ in a different way. she has has had missteps along the way in terms of public— missteps along the way in terms of public opinion. as you mentioned, the death— public opinion. as you mentioned, the death of princess diana was possibly— the death of princess diana was possibly the most obvious of those, where _ possibly the most obvious of those, where really the royal household, whoever _ where really the royal household, whoever it was, miss read the placing — whoever it was, miss read the placing of— whoever it was, miss read the placing of public opinion in that instance — placing of public opinion in that instance and they perhaps did what they thought was right, but it played — they thought was right, but it played badly with public opinion. and so, — played badly with public opinion. and so, since then, they have quite frankly— and so, since then, they have quite
10:38 pm
frankly paid — and so, since then, they have quite frankly paid a lot of pr professionals a lot of money to make sure that _ professionals a lot of money to make sure that such things did not happen again— sure that such things did not happen again and _ sure that such things did not happen again and they have not. and the queen— again and they have not. and the queen has— again and they have not. and the queen has continued to be extremely popular _ queen has continued to be extremely popular. but as lucy said, this is the most — popular. but as lucy said, this is the most important day of her calendar— the most important day of her calendar and for her to miss this is obviously— calendar and for her to miss this is obviously very serious, particularly in tight— obviously very serious, particularly in light of— obviously very serious, particularly in light of the fact that she said that it — in light of the fact that she said that it was announced that she would be attending as recently as yesterday. the palace has reported that she _ yesterday. the palace has reported that she has strained her back. i don't _ that she has strained her back. i don't believe a word that the palace says~ _ don't believe a word that the palace says that— don't believe a word that the palace says. that is not to say that they are necessarily lying, i have no idea _ are necessarily lying, i have no idea whether they are not, but we have _ idea whether they are not, but we have seen— idea whether they are not, but we have seen in the past they have been and shall— have seen in the past they have been and shall we say economical with the truth when _ and shall we say economical with the truth when it comes to describing the queen's condition, so we simply don't _ the queen's condition, so we simply don't know — the queen's condition, so we simply don't know. we simply don't know what _ don't know. we simply don't know what the _ don't know. we simply don't know what the situation is and for a lot of peopte — what the situation is and for a lot of people that will raise concern and anxiety and sympathy for her majesty — and anxiety and sympathy for her ma'es . . , . and anxiety and sympathy for her ma'es . , . majesty. lucy, given what happened with the duke _ majesty. lucy, given what happened with the duke of _ majesty. lucy, given what happened with the duke of edinburgh, - majesty. lucy, given what happened with the duke of edinburgh, we - majesty. lucy, given what happened| with the duke of edinburgh, we know two things, is a statement of fact the queen has always said, in
10:39 pm
because of what happened to her father, who only became king because his brother abdicated, that she would never abdicate. her his brother abdicated, that she would neverabdicate. herson his brother abdicated, that she would never abdicate. her son want thejob, there is no issue about being shoved into something he doesn't want to do. the poor man has probably been waiting for it for the last 30 years! but notwithstanding that, is there a sense that it would be possible to have almost like a dowager queen, in other words a queen who was no longer active who was maybe glimpsed in public very, very occasionally, just as the duke of edinburgh was, and charles effectively becomes rather like george iv was during the regency, he kind of does the job that his mother is no longer up to doing? weill. kind of does the job that his mother is no longer up to doing?— is no longer up to doing? well, i don't think— is no longer up to doing? well, i don't think we _ is no longer up to doing? well, i don't think we should _ is no longer up to doing? well, i don't think we should rule - is no longer up to doing? well, i i don't think we should rule anything out because i think the one thing we do notice about the monarchy in this country is that, as slow footed as they can sometimes be, they can actually show that they can adapt and change and we haven't really had and change and we haven't really had a monarch who has lived as long and
10:40 pm
as healthily as queen elizabeth thus far and therefore they may have to be a sense in which she is supported with this new slimmed down monarchy with this new slimmed down monarchy with charles taking on more responsibilities. we have seen the earl and countess of wessex being given more duties. 0bviously, prince william is ready to do a lot of things as well. so this might actually happen organically. the problem comes when we get a vacuum of information and, asjoe has mentioned, if you get a statement thatjust mentioned, if you get a statement that just doesn't mentioned, if you get a statement thatjust doesn't ring true, human beings are really bad when we don't get clarity. we started to speculate, we start to worry and i am somebody... i didn't even know any of my grandparents, so yes, this for me has been a woman who has become a little bit like my surrogate grandmother and i am sure there are other people in this country who feel the same and the idea that we are going to have to get used to this person not being
10:41 pm
around or not being around in the way that we have been used to is going to be quite a seismic shift for the national psyche, actually, and i shudder to think how we will deal with that.— deal with that. joe, that is a really interesting _ deal with that. joe, that is a really interesting question, | deal with that. joe, that is a - really interesting question, isn't it? because i think of my own family, my father is still alive, he is 86. he only has the vaguest recollection nowadays of george vi. you know, the queen became queen when he was in his late teens and he probably took little interest in the monarchy before that point, so on that basis there are very few people left who remember life before queen elizabeth and therefore you are talking about one figure in public life, cultural, political, in this case a bit of all of those things, whom we lose and would have as profound an impact, it really isn't possible to think of anyone, is it? no, that is right, she really is the only person — no, that is right, she really is the only person who has had a public role since — only person who has had a public role since the second world war who is still—
10:42 pm
role since the second world war who is still alive _ role since the second world war who is still alive and that is really quite — is still alive and that is really quite an— is still alive and that is really quite an achievement. and also it raises _ quite an achievement. and also it raises interesting questions about the way— raises interesting questions about the way the public views of the institution and the monarchy generally because it has been unchanged now for most people's entire _ unchanged now for most people's entire lives and so, what happens when _ entire lives and so, what happens when the — entire lives and so, what happens when the cadence, if you like, of the monarchy changes? and we assume that at— the monarchy changes? and we assume that at some _ the monarchy changes? and we assume that at some point over the next few years _ that at some point over the next few years the _ that at some point over the next few years the queen will pass on and of course _ years the queen will pass on and of course prince charles will become king, _ course prince charles will become king, but — course prince charles will become king, but then we enter a cadence of the roundabout every 20 or 30 years another _ the roundabout every 20 or 30 years another coronation, another monarch. it another coronation, another monarch. it will— another coronation, another monarch. it will be _ another coronation, another monarch. it will be a _ another coronation, another monarch. it will be a very long time, we assume, _ it will be a very long time, we assume, circumstances not permitting, it will be a very long time, _ permitting, it will be a very long time, if— permitting, it will be a very long time, if ever, before we have such a lon- time, if ever, before we have such a long reigning — time, if ever, before we have such a long reigning monarch again and how the public— long reigning monarch again and how the public knew that more frequently changing _ the public knew that more frequently changing monarchy will be very interesting to see.— changing monarchy will be very interesting to see. yes, it well. lu , do interesting to see. yes, it well. lucy. do you — interesting to see. yes, it well. lucy, do you want _ interesting to see. yes, it well. lucy, do you want to _ interesting to see. yes, it well. lucy, do you want to talk- interesting to see. yes, it well. lucy, do you want to talk us - interesting to see. yes, it well. - lucy, do you want to talk us through the guardian's front page? frustration in india and china over watering
10:43 pm
down the climate deal. this was the last minute shuttle diplomacy we so literally played out before our eyes, actually, because they didn't get rid of the cameras or remove the delegates, they were all there and they were negotiating almost in real time as we watched. yes. they were negotiating almost in real time as we watched.— they were negotiating almost in real time as we watched. yes, right up to the wire and — time as we watched. yes, right up to the wire and it _ time as we watched. yes, right up to the wire and it was _ time as we watched. yes, right up to the wire and it was really _ time as we watched. yes, right up to the wire and it was really clear- the wire and it was really clear that, certainly alok sharma has spoken about how he really did feel in almost that final hours that everything would be lost, all that two years of really hard work and perhaps really quite grinding hours and, dare i say, at the coalface, no pun intended.— and, dare i say, at the coalface, no pun intended. yes! but that he would probably have to preside over nothing good coming, nothing being signed. so you could argue that india and china played a complete blinder because they waited until the very last minute to insist that the very last minute to insist that the phrase, phasing out, got changed to, facing down. and despite boris
10:44 pm
johnson valiantly trying to give the impression that actually those two things are exactly the same, it is clear that that isn't, otherwise there wouldn't have been so much horse trading around it. it is very tricky because india in particular, 70% of its electricity comes from coal fuelled 70% of its electricity comes from coalfuelled power 70% of its electricity comes from coal fuelled power stations, so 70% of its electricity comes from coalfuelled power stations, so for them to make a really radical difference risks plunging a lot of their population back into poverty, so you can see why they would have wanted to do this, but unfortunately it probably ended up making everything feel very anti—climactic and despite some really powerful thing is happening, particularly in terms of deforestation and methane emissions, what we are all left remembering is the fact that a word got changed. 0ne remembering is the fact that a word got changed. one word got changed at the end of the summit and it seemed to really deflate everything. yes. joe. to really deflate everything. yes. joe, it is to really deflate everything. yes. joe. it is very _ to really deflate everything. yes. joe, it is very interesting - to really deflate everything. yes. joe, it is very interesting this, isn't it? i did feel a bit,
10:45 pm
listening to borisjohnson like he was the queen in alice in wonderland, words will mean whatever i choose them to me. but in terms of this particular deal, there is an argument that actually it's argument that actually its significance is less than it might appear because the commercial realities are already pushing us away from coal?— realities are already pushing us away from coal? realities are already pushing us awa from coal? , , ., , , away from coal? yes, the problem is that even if— away from coal? yes, the problem is that even if the _ away from coal? yes, the problem is that even if the declaration - away from coal? yes, the problem is that even if the declaration had - that even if the declaration had been _ that even if the declaration had been very— that even if the declaration had been very clear, it remains simply words _ been very clear, it remains simply words and — been very clear, it remains simply words and ultimately, whether we are able to— words and ultimately, whether we are able to curtail temperature rises at 1.5 degrees or not, will depend on actions _ 1.5 degrees or not, will depend on actions on — 1.5 degrees or not, will depend on actions on the ground, will depend on technological development, will depend _ on technological development, will depend on quite simply financial priorities— depend on quite simply financial priorities and so on and so forth, but this— priorities and so on and so forth, but this summit was about particularly for boris johnson, it was about— particularly for boris johnson, it was about getting a deal of some kind _ was about getting a deal of some kind and — was about getting a deal of some kind. and really be preceding two weeks _ kind. and really be preceding two weeks att— kind. and really be preceding two weeks all lead up to this point and

buildings themselves come with their own environmental cost. at}! buildings themselves come with their own environmental cost.— own environmental cost. of course, buildin: own environmental cost. of course, building and — own environmental cost. of course, building and running _ own environmental cost. of course, building and running offices - own environmental cost. of course, building and running offices and - building and running offices and homes contributes massively to our carbon footprint. more than 13 billion tonnes of c02 a year. that is nearly 40% of the world's total carbon emissions. so is nearly 4096 of the world's total carbon emissions.— carbon emissions. so how about makin: carbon emissions. so how about making buildings _ carbon emissions. so how about making buildings that _ carbon emissions. so how about making buildings that are - carbon emissions. so how about making buildings that are part i carbon emissions. so how about| making buildings that are part of the solution, not the problem? maybe it is time to rethink renewable energy. the construction materials that we use and what happens to them at the end of their lives? and at the end of their lives? and later, at the end of their lives? and later. we _ at the end of their lives? and later, we will— at the end of their lives? and later, we will see _ at the end of their lives? and later, we will see how- at the end of their lives? fific later, we will see how demolished buildings can be sorted and salvaged, using what is in here. drum roll, please! all the rubbish is being tossed around and eventually be small items will make it through one of these tiny holes. and just wait until you see what is
10:49 pm
waiting for them down the line. but first, to swansea university's active building centre. instead of pulling its power from the grid, this place powers itself using the latest innovation in solar energy. the conventional box—shaped solar panels that we've been seeing on rooftops for years were just the beginning. now, newer, flexible cells are starting to cover roofs across the world. not that you'd necessarily notice they're solar panels. this feels just like a bit of protective flooring rolled up. but when i unroll this, take a look at that — a solar panel that is that bendable compared to the traditional looking ones there! they are slightly less efficient, but the fact that you can cover a whole roof area with them is one of their advantages. and they work very well in low light conditions, so they're ideally suited for use in the uk — in the northern hemisphere, really. part of the electricity generated here also comes
10:50 pm
from these vertical panels encased in tubing, which produce thermal and solar energy at the same time. on average, one wall could provide enough power per day to boil 38 kettles. that's a lot of tea! but what could truly revolutionise solar energy next is in the labs. i'm ready! this is a solar cell, and it's printed? wow! the idea that we're looking at is making these new materials to put on all of the outsides of buildings. there are also semitransparent versions of these that you can put onto glass for the windows. it reminds me of old negatives. yeah, it's actually very similar to photographic film orfilm that you'd make a movie with. it's just got a conducting layer on it so that you can collect the solar energy, the electricity that the solar cell is making. but what does this mean for buildings? well, over in a larger clean room, this is happening.
10:51 pm
it's the same sort of kit as you would print a t—shirt with, but it's bigger! right? the sample goes under it, the ink comes on there and it's just dragged across, so it literallyjust prints straight onto the glass. this allows the structure of buildings to change, as they don't need to withstand heavy building materials, and can also be put on curved roofing. you don't put the solar cell on top of a roof, you make the roof into a solar cell. the efficiency is very likely to be in the same order initially as the flexible ones we showed you, but the cost is likely to be dramatically lower. so we are doing work in india and mexico, looking at using t—shirt printers for people who would normally make t—shirts to make solar cells. you think it is going to be pretty challenging to scale it? it is challenging,
10:52 pm
but that is what our teams are here to do, right? so we can actually manufacture these things upscale these things at scale and try to mount on real buildings. so in the future this means that more and more buildings can become their own energy hubs by combining printed solar cells with next gen batteries. and in here, you're storing the power that you've been collecting? yes. you can choose when you import and when you export. and when you export to the grid. so if plug the car in, we can set it so that it will not charge the car necessarily as soon as it's plugged in. it will defer the power until it can use electricity from the grid. having the ability to release solar energy wherever and whenever it is needed means that here, the offices, the university and the electric vehicles can share with each other, creating a solar—powered community. in many parts of the world where there are no grid connections or the grid connection's weak, you know, rural communities can have power, say, at a school and then share that power around with the local houses,
10:53 pm
so that they can have an amenity that they can do educational things in, but they can also have power — and particularly at night—time, you know, which is very important for safety. so we are seeing more more possibilities of how solar can power and empower. the next challenge, though, is how we're going to get more of these infrastructures in place. we know that constructing buildings uses resources. but when they're demolished, many precious materials also go to waste. it's a problem that recycling sites like as this one sites like this one in finland are trying to solve. construction and demolition waste is usually crushed and most of it will be burned in incineration plants to energy.
10:54 pm
here, we try to do the opposite — we mechanically handle material to produce raw materials that can be reused again. this is one of those places that is frighteningly industrial and frighteningly massive. what happens is the waste arrives in lorries at the far end and then the commercial and the industrial waste gets sorted along these conveyor belts and machines here, the construction and demolition waste gets moved along this side here, and it is all a very big deal. but to avoid just crushing and burning everything, debris has to be separated into different materials and different sizes that can be recycled individually. and that's where the fun begins. once we get rid of the small stuff, we have the medium and the large size. and that's what we
10:55 pm
feed to the robots. no, this is not a warehouse disco. these are sorting lines where an ai brain commands robotic arms to pick out metal, wood and stone and hurl them into their respective bins. it's fast, furious and continuous. i have to say, these things are moving like lightning. they're not getting everything, they're missing quite a bit, but that's because they're still training these robots and calibrating the system for this type ofjunk. in waste sorting, the first problem is that no—one really knows what's on the belts. if you are welding cars, then obviously the next car will come on the conveyor in 5.04 seconds and there's never really anything unexpected.
10:56 pm
for these robots, they need to be smart in order to survive the surprises. wow. it's just flinging stuff around! with all sorts rolling towards them, the robots visually track the items with sensors beneath the belt and lasers scanning shapes and sizes, helping to decide what each is made of, how much it weighs and how much it's worth. it sees not only the wavelengths that humanoids see, they also see infrared and they also sense metals. so we basically show the robot that here's a bunch of rocks and here's a bunch of bricks, here's a bunch of high—quality wood. based on that training, the robot then learns. but knowing what to grab is just part of the problem. there are hundreds of billions of ways how to position the gripper on the belt.
10:57 pm
the robot needs to have, basically, a second opinion of whether the attempt was successful or not, something that the robot learns fairly easily. today, 80 arms are working around the world, including smaller, faster ones with vacuum grippers, which are better for light items like plastics and tin cans. all in all, these robot arms are rougher and tougher than human workers and, obviously, it's much safer as well. and despite their different skills, each robot feeds back into one shared system. the more we have robot arms in the world, then we have basically one family of robots that learns and then all of the arms that we have around the world get smarter. of course, there will always be some materials that can't be used again, but robots like these can help recycling plants to recover more
10:58 pm
and more and save stuff from incineration. and closing this loop means buildings can become much more sustainable, both at the start and the end of their lives. wow! that's it for the short version of our programme. you can find all three of our sustainability specials on the iplayer. throughout the week you can keep up with the team on social media. find us on youtube, instagram, facebook, and twitter, @bbcclick. and we'll be back next week. thanks for watching. bye— bye. hello. we have had some patchy light rain and drizzle across parts
10:59 pm
