ali harbi ali, is thought not to have been put on a watchlist of subjects, of interest to the security services. russia has recorded more than 1,000 deaths from coronavirus in a single day, for the first time since the start of the pandemic. the infection rate has also continued to soar as the authorities struggle to persuade people to get vaccinated. and tens of thousands of italians have marched througn the centre of rome, calling for a ban on the neo—fascist forza nuova party. it's leaders were among those arrested after the headquarters of the nation's oldest trade union was stormed in a riot, a week ago. britain's fourth biggest supermarket, morrisons, has warned that labour shortages are delaying new store openings and products reaching shelves. its chief executive david potts told the times newspaper that more visas are needed forforeign workers. it follows measures announced by the government to reduce the pressure on supply chains. our business correspondent katy austin reports. the global supply chain is under huge strain as economies reawa ken. 0nce imported products reach the uk, a shortage of lorry drivers means containers are often getting delayed at ports. when you have a shortage of labour in terms of hgv drivers, those domestic drivers, it means that the goods are sitting around slightly longer at the ports waiting to be collected. there are labour shortages in other sectors too, including construction, hospitality and food production. now the boss of morrisons has said that while there are plenty of products on the shelves, underlying strain in the supply chain is affecting availability, while a lack of materials such as cement and bricks is delaying investment in new shops and refurbishments. he called for more visas forforeign workers. the government has already offered temporary visas for some meat workers. there are 5,000 visas available for drivers too. other european countries also have shortages, but this driver in romania told the bbc rising wages in the uk were attractive. translation: a really| good friend of mine left for the uk last week. he went for three months. everyone who went there tells me the wages are really good. i'm tempted too. but only 20 of those visas have so far been approved. in the latest effort to ease the pressure, particularly before christmas, ministers now plan to let overseas drivers do more deliveries when they're on uk soil. i don't think the change yesterday will make much difference. so what do you think would make a difference, then? we need to encourage young drivers into the industry. we need to make facilities better for drivers. the general public need to treat drivers better. the government says immigration isn't the long—term answer to filling britain's record number of vacancies. it wants to develop a high—skilled, high—wage economy. some businesses say they still need a better short—term fix. katy austin, bbc news. now on bbc news, it's the travel show with lucy hedges. this week on the show: throwing some shakes in berlin. this is the capital of techno. tasting the future in wales. so you've got sweet potato... uhuh. ..butternut squash, cricket. laughs. and in search of something special in the skies of new zealand. theme song plays. hello, welcome to the travel show. this week, back in the uk, and getting a few mouthfuls of bugs on the welsh coast. now, let me tell you, some people say it's the future, and it's not as bad as you think. stay tuned for that, but we're going to begin in berlin, a city that's built its modern reputation on its amazing club scene — a scene renowned for its pulsing beats and its flashing lights, which, please be aware, feature throughout. techno music plays. it's community. it's coming together. it's sound. it's light. this is the capital of techno. people are coming from other parts of the world who want to party here. they say "oh, what is this kind of music?" when you go into a club, itjust blows your way. ——when you go into a club, itjust blows you away. djs here will pay for eight - hours, ten hours, and you can get so lost on the dance floor. the artists that i work with really put a focus on creating a utopia _ on the dance floor, and you get to have this collective moment of bliss and belonging. - berliners, that we — we know what is important — that we find a good balance between working and partying, like, finding a way to free your mind from the sorrows of the day. cheering and applause. i came here four weeks before the wall came down. we had these free spaces where no regulations had been. you know, berlin mitte was like empty, because nobody wanted to live here — the people had no warm water, no heating, no — no toilets in their flats, and so there was so much empty spaces and the people from all over the world, they all came here to fill these free spaces. we just occupied rooms and houses and just started doing culture, music. we could establish something very special — what you don't have another cities or in other countries, because of this kind of like chaotic situation. it — it's different here, because it's not about how much money you have, it's like, one example that when you go in the club you can't buy a table to be cool, you know? i think that's related to the history of the city. it was very poor after the fall of the wall, the warehouse parties and raves and — when you don't have other stuff, that's what you value. and now it kind of became the trademark of berlin. berlin clubs are very different from other parts of the world because in the other capital cities, people like to dress up nice, you know, nice shirts, nice shoes. yeah. in berlin, it's quite opposite, because people like the trashy. the clubs here look like abandoned houses, most of the time — very dark, you can't see much. it's like stickers all over the walls, graffiti. it's been like that since the �*90s, and people don't want this to change. it was a shocking moment and it — it took a couple of weeks that we realised what had — what it really means. with my staff, how can they get their money? and then, of course, your own situation, how can i pay my rent for the club? everybody was very scared that, 0k, half of the clubs will be closed now, the berlin nightlife's going to die forever, it's never going to be the same. yeah, there was something. i was just so worried for everybody. - i work with artists who music is their entire livelihood. - i'm one of the lucky ones who had a dayjob that i i could fall back upon. we started doing some streaming so — to give a tiny little platform to our artists, to the djs, and bring some music to the people at home. we just realised that it's really annoying and depressing being in an empty club without the energy of the people, and that was — that really hurt. it really hurt. this two years, almost, showed that people who are working in this scene are very passionate about the club culture, and they want to stay there, and they want to do everything they can to continue doing this, you know? it was five months after the — our lockdown we could start doing things outside. so we started doing concerts. just relax in the sun chair, and it's a nice situation with the trees, sometimes you can hear the birds, and then you have the artists at the stage. we're just happy that we see some eyes and that we get some emotions back, and that we see that we are all still alive. it was really great - but i was just saying that sitting down was very hard —| it was like i wanted to get up and dance and, you know, - and feel the people around me as well dancing, and so on, and it was very restrictive. i and it was very good to be out! but there is a little bit. of sadness in it as well. it's incomparable. like, what it was before, and you can literally feel, like, the pressure inside of the people that really long for liberating themselves again from these kind of restrictions. you can only appreciate something once it's gone. and now people really appreciate what they had before. we will fight for, like, i more freedom to party. because it's important. berlin is a city which always stands up again. and whatever is possible, it's possible here in berlin. i think we have to get the party set out! berlin, if you go out, one of the most important things is to bring a hat — that triples your chance of getting in. now, let's go. it seems like berlin is back in the game. this is the queue to the most famous club in berlin. alright, we made it to the end of the queue. today is the first day berghain opens again, after one and a half years. and over there is the entrance. the longest queue i have ever seen in berlin. i guess everything's back to normal! after a year's delay, dubai's 2020 world expo finally opened its doors with a glitzy ceremony earlier this month. over 190 countries have laid out their stalls with our best cultural offerings. ——with their best cultural offerings. china's pavilion showcases robot pandas and electric cars, while saudi arabia's display boasts the world's largest interactive lighting floor. the organisers hope as many as 25 million people will come for a look around, with visitors having to show proof of vaccination, or a negative pcr test to get in. it's open for six months, ending on march 31. if your favourite bit of a convention is the food samples, the salon du chocolat in paris promises plenty of treats to satisfy even the sweetest of tooths. beginning on october 28, there's a dazzling confection of chocolate—themed events, including a chocolate fashion show with 100 chocolate dresses, chocolate stalls, chocolate competitions, and a reproduction of pablo picasso's guernica, made from 500 kilograms of — well, you get the idea. with halloween looming, new york celebrates the return of its spooky annual village parade after a pandemic postponement in 2020. now in its 48th year, crowds of more than 2 million people are expected, with tens of thousands of costumed party—goers taking part. the parade is always a surprise to me, because i can't plan for every single individual who's coming. i mean, it could be like we threw a party and nobody came! or it could be everybody in the the world was waiting to come and "oh my goodness, here they are, what do we do with all of them?" i expect the energy to be really positive and good. meanwhile, across the pond, the derry halloween event in northern ireland claims to be europe's largest halloween party, with more than 140,000 attending in 2019, more than doubling the city's population. this year, they've cancelled their usual parade, but the festivities are going ahead, with a mix of light installations, displays, and performances, spread across five zones — all capped off with a big firework display. right, still to come on the travel show, a mouthful of bugs. you're chucking me in at the deep end with this one, aren't you? right, i'm going for it. and in search of the natural light show that will take your breath away. so don't go away. next up, i'm st davids in wales. with a population ofjust 1,800, it is the uk's smallest designated city. i'm visiting a farm that's cottoned on to a trend which has still to catch on in britain, but that's already feeding some 2 billion people around the world. set across 100 acres of pembrokeshire's countryside, the bug farm is home to dozens of species of insects, and it's the only one of its kind in the uk. as someone who's scared of bugs, i wasn't sure what to expect and, as always, i was thrown right into the deep end. so, who have you got here? this is one of our giant stick insects, it's a tirachoidea stick insect. tirachoidea. yeah, when it doesn't even have a common name, so little is known about it. yeah. do you want to have a hold? i do, reluctantly, yes! come on, i'm going to do it. so what i'll do is i'll just pop her onto you. so she'lljust grip on a tiny bit. it's like a live twig! but she won't go anywhere. yeah, you'd never notice them if they're in a bush, yeah! yeah, yeah! 0h, amazing! as well as offering this unique take on a petting zoo, sarah hopes her farm will help inspire an important shift in the way we view bugs, into seeing them as a potential resource in the battle against climate change. so, the bug farm is, first and foremost, a place where you come to see awesome insects or other invertebrates like this. we want people to come here and have an experience where they come in and go, "oh, i don't know about bugs. "0oh, not sure," and then go, "wow!" wow! and if we can get that insight and then allow people to go, "0k, let me learn a little bit more about them, 0k, they're quite fascinating. "you know what? "they�* re really useful as well!" then that's the idea. the bug farm's main draw is arguably its grub kitchen. it's the only restaurant in the uk devoted to eating insects. so we don't eat insects like this one. don't worry! we're not going to eat you! she's safe! but what we can do is if we look at including insects in our diet, we can actually get protein very efficiently from a group of animals that we don't usually eat here in the west, so it makes loads of sense because you can get a similar amount of protein to beef from insects, but up to 25% less feed going in, a fraction of the land used, because insects can be farmed vertically, and they can feed on side streams of other pla nt—based industries. so it makes lots of sense to be able to farm them for us to eat. yeah, absolutely. it's just getting around our kind of issues with the idea of eating insects. you can say that again. just how palatable are these crunchy critters? sometimes called a �*future food', even the un food and agriculture organization has spoken out, urging people to make more of what they call "an underutilised resource." millions are being invested in insect farms worldwide, and sarah and her husband and chef andy are making the most of this growing industry. right. so, i've got to admit, andy, i've never tried bug—based food before. not to my knowledge, anyway. i'm sure i've obviously eaten a few flies in my time. i'm terrified about what i'm going to find inside. well, i can talk you through it. alright. so, what have we got in here? so, you've got sweet potato, butternut squash, cricket, a bit of yellow mealworm and there's a buffalo insect as well, which is the larvae of a lesser mealworm. go ahead... if you want to have a try, go for it. you're chucking me in at the deep end with this one, aren't you? right, i'm going for it, and i love pakora, so... 0h, fantastic. alright. quite a lot to live up to then. the buffalo worms are quite a subtle almost like toasted rice flavour, the mealworms have this really sort of nutty sort of different kind of flavour, and the crickets, some people think taste like mushroom, some say white chocolate. mmm, that's really nice. a bit spicy! if i didn't know... no, the spice is amazing. but obviously i know the ingredients and i can see my little bug friends in there, but i wouldn't necessarily know that i'm eating an insect—based thing. yeah, that's the sort of thing we wanted to help people get their heads around is that insects just add this sort of savoury, slightly nutty flavour, and when they're fried as well, they really kind of crisp up a little bit as well, so... yeah, i can see a little crispy mealworm there. even the welsh government is behind this bug revolution, recently providing andy and sarah with a grant to develop vexo, an insect—based mince meat designed to help tackle obesity in schools. so, we're not sort of going to say to people not to eat meat, that's not the message we want to get across, but we just say, "look, this is a viable alternative." especially when there's a climate emergency, we really need to look at how we produce food for a growing population. i'm surprised that more chefs haven't tried this really so far. you know, we're still, as far as i'm aware, the uk's only insect restaurant to have insects on the menu full time. i've grown quite attached to my stick insect friend, so i'm not sure i'll be swapping out my courgettes for crickets. but from the sounds of it, here in the uk, a sprinkling of insects on your chips might be more commonplace in the not—too—distant future. finally, winter's fast approaching here, by far the best time to go hunting for the northern lights, the arctic phenomenon on so many of our bucket lists. but did you know there's an equally impressive display in the southern hemisphere, the aurora australis. we've been on board a unique flight over the skies of new zealand to seek it out. it's really one of the world's most phenomenal natural light shows. it's very otherworldly, it's very dramatic. since moving to dunedin in 2013, i've become completely and utterly bonkers about this amazing phenomenon, and i spend many dark night chasing around remote parts of southern new zealand where we get to see the australis. but a few years ago i realised that actually if i really wanted to see the aurora australis, i've get to way south of new zealand. so to do that, we need — i guess you'd call it an airliner, basically. find the active area of the aurora and then start orbiting around till we get fantastic views, and that's what we're doing tonight. we're ten hours, really chasing auroras across the southern ocean, 41,000 feet in an amazing aircraft, boeing 787. we've just seen the numbers and it looks like the aurora is kind of brewing for a bit of a storm, which is good. you can tell there's been a bit of a party here in christchurch. i always like to hold off on the champagne after we've seen the aurora, that's my personal way of doing things, but this is pretty exciting times. this stuff is important, right. tourism is important to our country, and whatever happens tonight, and i hope to god we see an aurora, 'cause otherwise i'm hiding in the toilet...this is really important. ijust want to say, rachel, what an amazing job your company have done. applause. thank you, ian. flights to the light is our pivot project. we came into covid as specialists in travel to latin america and antarctica. 0bviously, covid put a bit of an end to that, so we knew we had to do something else. as it turned out, there had been an astronomer, dr ian griffin, who, in 2017 and 2018, had done some private charters to see the southern lights. so i reached out to him, isaid, "hi, i'm rachel." what we'd like to do, we'd like to recreate these flights again. he kindly said yes and came on board. we're sold out, so we've got 273 on board tonight. 273 also coming on board tomorrow night. so, you know, it's really...yeah, it's amazing. we're excited. so, we're starting to get into the aurora zone, and as you can tell from all the tape, we're trying to see the aurora, but in a minute, the lights are going to go down and we'll hopefully get some good pictures. um...how long till the lights go down? it takes a while. we will turn them down right now. l awesome. thank you. here we go — yay! start looking out the window. oh, look, you're starting to see itjust ahead of us. look, look, look, look! it's starting to come in now. look! oh, man, this is getting good. 0k. can you see it through the windows? yes. are you starting to see it. yep. did you see that? oh, yes! woo—hoo! yeah, i enjoyed it a lot. fantastic. it was so exciting and to pray and wish and everything, - i think it was unbelievable. we flew into an aurora storm tonight so we got some lovely images. certainly for me, it was one of the best flights i've ever seen. the aurora tonight was spectacular. now it's time for a quick breakfast, i think, and then processing images for the rest of the day. right, that's all for this week. but coming up next time... we are in iceland at the volcano that became the destination of choice for hundreds of lockdown locals earlier this year. someone asked me if it was sped up — it's not. don't forget, if you want to follow us on some of our recent adventures, you can find us on bbc iplayer. we're on social media too. just search for bbc travel show on all the main platforms and you'll find us there. for now, though, keep planning those next trips and we'll see you back on the road very, very soon. goodbye. cloudy and damp weather around for the first start of sunday, because we got some decent sunshine through saturday, the best of it across southern england, the midlands, wales and east anglia and the far north of scotland as well. late in the day, we did see some rain start to come down around dunblane, that is the first signs of this band of rain showing up on the radar, pretty extensive and heavy across northern scotland and england, getting into north wales as well and even further southwards, a few patches of rain across the south of wales in south—west england as well, across the midlands, south—east anglia, and some dry weather north of scotland for the next few hours. 11 to 30 degrees widely, a legacy of cool and clinging on across the parts of northern scotland, but otherwise extensive cloud to start the day on sunday, the rain initially heavyy in scotland, but later and patchy quickly to the morning but across northern ireland, scotland and northern england, these areas will have spots to spots of rain even in the afternoon so for some it will stay on the damp side but at the same time we should start to see some gaps in the cloud opening out in the south with a few sunny spells in southern england, southern wales and the south midlands. for monday, we will start to see some stronger south—westerly winds moving in, so monday will be a windier kind of day, particularly across western areas with layers of crowd and outbreaks of rain spilling in, but if we do see some sunshine, it is likely to be very hazy, and a lot of high cloud in the sky, so bright rather than sunny in those drier moments. temperatures will be mild, 15—18 degrees and it gets even the winds coming from a long way south, and then we the slow—moving weather front bringing some intense bursts of rain to the west. perhaps across wales, perhaps across cumbria. some of these areas could see localised surface water but eastern areas not seeing much in the way of rain, but we could see some sunny spells breaking through, and if that happens across the south—east we could see temperatures climb to 21 celsius, very viry mild indeed, and that mild weather stays with us for the first half of the week before temperatures gradually get close to normal towards the end of the week. welcome to bbc news. our top stories: a man suspected of killing the british member of parliament, david amess, has been named as aliprime minister and leader of the opposition paid their respects at the scene of the attack, as a review begins into the threats faced by politicians. we faced by politicians. live in an open society, a democracy. we live in an open society, a democracy. we cannot be cowed by any individual or any motivation, people with motives to stop us from functioning. russia records more than 1,000 deaths from coronavirus in a single day, for the first time since the start of the pandemic.

ali harbi ali — is thought not to have been put on a watchlist of subjects, of interest to the security services. russia has recorded more than 1,000 deaths from coronavirus in a single day for the first time since the start of the pandemic. the infection rate has also continued to soar as the authorities struggle to persuade people to get vaccinated. tens of thousands of italians have marched through the centre of rome, calling fora ban on the neo—fascist forza nuova party. its leaders were among those arrested after the headquarters of the nation's oldest trade union was stormed in a riot a week ago. now on bbc news, time for click. this week — hong kong is changing and so is its wikipedia entry, but who is responsible? bringing the vikings to life for schools. and, i mean, how many ljs do you need on a song? for many of us, wikipedia embodies the true spirit of the internet — an enormous source of information created, edited and policed by volunteers around the world. and while it's certainly possible to tweak an entry about yourself or your company to add some "facts", the encyclopaedia's community of editors and fact—checkers have been famous hot on dragging you back to earth should you big yourself up too much. hmm. but over the last couple of years, we've uncovered evidence that some of wikipedia's articles are being changed to present a particular country in a more positive light — and that's china. you remember what carl millerfound when we sent him to taiwan? yes — articles about taiwan's independence were being edited to swing more in line with china's view. although carl did point out that these views are not lies — after all, who is wikipedia to override the opinions of many people in the most populous country in the world? well, now, a click investigation has found evidence that wikipedia articles about hong kong are also being changed to be more pro—china, and the situation has escalated to the point where wikipedia's governing body has suspended several pro—beijing editors for abusing the platform. so carl and danny have teamed up to ask whether wikipedia's open knowledge goals are really compatible with a world where different countries have different views on the truth. stephen mcdonell: tear gas, which is being fired. _ you can see from above behind them, the riot police have these two water cannon trucks. in hong kong, beijing has been clamping down on descent since the start of the protests in 2019. the clashes between the police and pro—democracy demonstrators may have subsided for now, at least. but the same cannot be said for the online world, where the battle for the narrative still continues. furious edit wars have been raging behind the scenes on wikipedia between pro—democracy and pro—beijing points of view. our team of investigators have spent weeks looking into these edits, mostly in chinese languages but also some in english. this article is about the yuen long attack in 2019 which saw about 100 men wearing white shirts attacking people in a transport station. there were allegations that these men both had triad connections but were also in cooperation with the police, ultimately backed by beijing. but on the chinese wikipedia page of the incident, the second of these pictures was removed and then two days later, well over 100 further edits was made to the page. changes were being thrown back and forth between words such as �*rural factions�* to �*terrorists�* or �*conflict�* replacing �*terror attack�*. but worst still, the edit wars seem to have taken a nasty term — there are reports of threats being made to editors who are contributing what are at least seem to be pro—democracy edits. messages on private chat channels were designed to strike fear, which led to seven pro—beijing editors being banned from the site, some for the threatening messages and some accused of propagandising in the chinese narrative. these are edits that usually look at the event from a western prism and what chinese editors deem biased. but to get a sense ofjust how real the situation is on the ground right now, we asked our bbc hong kong correspondent danny vincent to dig deeper. i met someone we�*re going to call �*john�*, who continues to edit articles on wikipedia relating to important events in hong kong�*s recent past, so a balanced viewpoint is presented. we gathered in a neutral location and under the cover of darkness. since the introduction of beijing�*s national security law, wikipedia seems to have become a much more hostile place. pro—beijing people often remove content that is sympathetic to the protests — tear gas being fired, image of barricades and the like. they also add their own content. pro—democracy editors tend to add content to shift the balance or the tone of the article. but in my experience, the pro—beijing editors are a lot more aggressive in droning up this information. it�*s now unfixable without external interference because they are trying to rewrite history. while these editors may use state—registered e—mails and vpns to get across the internet that�*s otherwise banned in china, john says it�*s not a straightforward situation of beijing ordering the edits. there seems to be an overflow of patriotism in china and these changes are being carried out by people loyal to the communist party, but they are not paid for by the government and they are not all based in china, either. and in contrast tojohn in hong kong, there are others continuing their work editing wikipedia articles both in english and in chinese, but importantly from the safety of another country. �*dave�* lives in britain but as a pro—democracy editor, he fears for his family and friends back home, so he spoke to us anonymously. when i started doing my edits, pro—beijing editors were ganging up to undo my edits. when i took my concerns to a higher level in wikipedia, the pro—beijing editors tried to use their numbers to crowd me out, so my voice did not get heard. we put all of this to wikimedia, the foundation responsible for wikipedia, to ask just how long they think the largest encyclopaedia can survive when it�*s become a battleground. we come at it from a very, very hardcore ideological perspective about neutrality, about freedom of expression, about quality, and we�*ll stick to that, and we�*ll stick to that no matter what. wikipedia�*s global. wikipedia is not localised to particular countries. as soon as we identify someone who is not behaving appropriately, we ban them, so it�*s quite simple. and that is exactly what wikipedia did last month when it banned seven pro—beijing editors. we tracked down yan, one of them. he lives abroad now, but used to organise events in china, teaching citizens there how to edit wikipedia. he denies misusing the platform and says that the removal of active pro—beijing editors is detrimental to the neutrality of wikipedia as a whole. wikipedia, especially chinese wikipedia, is a balance that anti—beijing forces and the pro—beijing forces must maintain a balance and people agree on a compromise in order for the project to proceed. and the thing is you�*re removing one side from — you�*re removing the pro—beijing voices for — from this platform and of course, the balance is going to tilt towards the anti—beijing forces within wikipedia. as it turns out — and i have deep experience talking to people all over the world and meeting wikimedians — the idea that people in china, for example, are so brainwashed that they can't even conceive of the idea of neutrality is just completely false. so many people are able to say "ok, here's my view of the world, but i understand there are other views of the world and that an encyclopaedia should present an explanation of all these various viewpoints ina fairway. the way wikipedia works is that while anyone can edit an article, higher—level administrators act as the ultimate decision—makers. they are vetted and elected by a community of writers within each country, which wikipedia says is crucial to preserving the integrity of the people�*s encyclopaedia. but yet, in recent weeks, 12 administrators from mainland china have each had their wikipedia privileges revoked. those administrators that were elected fair and square, even years ago or decades ago, they were elected by the community. from yan�*s perspective wikipedia is still missing the beijing viewpoint, so he is setting up an alternative to wikipedia in china — albeit one that will be censored. we are going to do — basically use all wikipedia�*s content — chinese wikipedia�*s content — and we build a mirror site, we build a fort of wikipedia in china. it is going to be better than wikipedia�*s current competitors in china because we are providing unintelligible information from just unintelligible from wikipedia in china and people will have a better platform to actually write about encyclopaedia articles. the biggest thing that's preventing mainland chinese people from expressing the viewpoint of mainland china's people is the chinese government who don't allow them to edit wikipedia, so the idea that we are somehow excluding china is absurd — we welcome with open arms our editors from china. hello and welcome to the week in tech. it was the week that the us became the world�*s largest

able to transport four people at a time at speeds up to 120 miles an hour. artist anicka yi�*s new exhibition was unveiled at london�*s tate modern museum. called in love with the world, it features robot sea—like creatures called aerobes floating around the human visitors. the exhibit is open till mid january next year. and finally this week, another robot sharing space with humans, this time in california. meet leonardo, or legs on board drone — leo for short. researchers at caltech wanted to create a bipedal robot that can jump and fly to develop a new form of locomotion. leo can also ride a skateboard and walk on a slack line. the right music makes things better. it can change our mental state, add emotion to movies and and even help us move when it is hard to keep putting one step in front of the other. yet while so many of us consume music, playing an instrument feels out of reach. but you no longer need 10,000 hours to create something beautiful. you just need a different kind of instrument. # this is the harmony engine, adding layers of extra vocals # to my voice in real—time. the program first recognises which note i am singing, and then adds layers based on music theory or even user input. the company who makes this are behind autotune, which is everywhere and pop music, and if you have ever listened to a billie eilish song, you have already heard it used to great effect. # what do you want from me, why don�*t you run from me... that sounds familiar. this is the thing, though. i didn�*t realise that was technology! you analyse the pitch of the song you are singing it, you slice of your head, and then put the head back on. that is really how it works in a kind of silly sort of explanation. the new product, autotune slice has only been out a week. it automatically cuts a vocal melody into a playable musical keyboard. but is all this tech taking too much skill out of music creation? musicians and recording engineers who understand every aspect of the recording process, and those guys are probably rolling their eyes, laughs, "we had to learn all this stuff, and now companies are trying to make tools so that they don�*t have to do the hard work that we did, to learn our craft, learn our trade." if you are more of a drummer than a singer, dubler might hit the spot, using al to learn your version of different bits of a drum kit. now you have to train the system by recording a few takes. ts—ts—ts—ts — that�*s my hi—hat. and now dubler knows roughly what i mean with different drum sounds turning my enthusiastic though amateur beatboxing into a full drum kit. beatboxes. unlike many music plug—ins, dubler also works without needing any external audio software, though it does work with digital audio workstations. this is the newly released uno synth pro, which glories in its analog sounds, juicy and rich. which, at around £550 or $750 for the desktop version, might prove a bit too rich for a beginner. though it is easy to make something sound good with very little effort. so here we go. synth arpeggio plays. nice! and you can change the feel of the sound by using these bits. sound changes. lowering the barriers to creativity can help musicians who struggle with mobility. like yurina, an avid pianist who is connected to a respirator and unable to leave her house, so she is controlling this grand piano at yokohama city hall remotely. it is part of a project between yamaha and tokyo university of the arts. when yurina presses a key, the auto—accompanied piano plays along with her. she practised playing her side slightly ahead of time, as it takes about 100 milliseconds for her piano signal to reach the concert hall. none of these new creativity tools detract from the massive benefits of learning a physical instrument. in fact, i think they complement each other. technology at its best, giving the gift of music to everyone. most of us have had our lives impacted by cancer in some way. i have, i know that you have too. but it can be tricky to support someone you love going through it, because you cannot necessarily really understand what they are going through. but one app is hoping to help by creating a community of cancer patients to be able to share theirjourneys. reielle was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer back in 2019, and has since undergone operations, chemotherapy and ivf egg collection. sometimes i feel lonely because i am literally one in a million. this spring, reielle started using a new app designed for cancer patients. i knew instantaneously it would be a place where i could message people, we could connect and communicate, and that is what i really needed. the day before i started chemotherapy i was a bag of nerves, and i turned to the app and then i had loads of messages of encouragement and support. i ended up asking a lot of questions to people, has anyone had this happen to them. i spoke to a lot of girls about getting manicured, sometimes you can lose your femininity and bring that back is amazing, it is what i need. alike was launched by two—time cancer survivor brad gudger. over 1500 people have signed up so far. the problem with relying on pre—existing social media is you cannot find people. alike takes the best bits of a social media platform and repurposes it specifically for the cancer community. you can filter based on age, and in future we want to enable people to filter based on location, providing something that can be with you right through diagnosis, treatment, recovery and in some cases with people at the end of our lives. many are keen to keep up with the latest research as well, but this can be challenging as new findings shared by academics or medics can be hard to decipher. and that�*s where medivizor comes in. a service that scans the web, translating the latest studies into patient—friendly email updates. when my late mother was diagnosed with cancer, i was amazed that the plain english availability of accurate, timely information was really horrible. so how does the process work? i take it you have a team of people who are collecting all this information and translating it into something people can understand. it�*s a combination of algoriths that are crawling the internet. prioritising information based on what is important, and also people assisting the machine to refine this conversion from scientific language into layman, or almost layman terms. the basic service is free for patients but the company is funded by paid versions, including one for private doctors. taking matters into your own hands, though, can have its downsides. of course the important thing is recognising that at that time they are most vulnerable. so where information is quite empowering, you have to make sure it is the right information, notjust based on an algorithm which could unfortunately scare the patient sometimes. because two people could have cancer, and have different concerns about their cancer diagnosis. i don�*t know about you, but my kids are having a completely different school experience to the one that i had when i was young. how about you ? theyjust seem to be able to do teaching so much better these days. mm, maybe there isjust more weight being given to the idea that different children learn in different ways. i think you are right. and in fact some kids, my boy included, learn really well through computer games. and i expect marc cieslak would have done too. since 2007 the assassin�*s creed videogames have allowed players to bump off bad guys throughout periods of history as varied as renaissance italy to ancient greece. the most recent entry in the series, assassin�*s creed: valhalla, transports the action to the ninth century as vikings attempt to settle in britain, something that doesn�*t go down that well with the locals. valhalla�*s developers have worked really closely with historians and archaeologists to ensure historical accuracy and real locations like this one, portchester castle on england�*s south coast, appear in the game. we tried to research the kind of people we would meet there but also their habit, the way they would talk, the way they would live their daily lives. i tire of raiding, harold. and the idea is notjust the aesthetic but also philosophical, what are their thoughts of the period, what are they looking for in their daily lives? but what do you do with all that research and work, after it�*s been put to work building the world in the game? the developers have removed the violence from the game, replacing it with quests which are designed to allow the player to gain greater historical insight about the period. valhalla is the third assassin�*s creed game to feature this element, called discovery tour: viking age. we must exit the fjord, sail right. how did you approach the discovery tool, was it a case of taking the weapons and killing out of it? i think the idea is that people can enjoy these locations while learning about them. we have created these quests that are basically around empathy, because videogames have a strong component to make people learn, because we feel what our avatars and what the characters are living through. then i shall observe and hopefully learn some new tricks of my own. one of the most famous viking settlements in the uk was in york, and it is here we find thejorvik viking centre, home to a vast array of period artefacts — some of which provided inspiration for the developers. and it�*s here we also find writer and broadcaster danny wallace, who has had a long association with the assassins creed series, providing the voice of one of the game�*s characters, historian sean hastings. hello, am i speaking out loud, hello? i think back to my history lessons at school, and a man or a lady would stand up and talk to me for a very long time about crop rotation or spinning jennies. and all i can remember is that you have to leave one field fallow, that is very important. however, thanks to kind of getting involved in these games, you find yourself engaging with those worlds much more. so if you suddenly see something and it catches your eye, and you are like, "i wonder how they made shoes," or "i wonder what they ate", you can go over there and you can find out yourself. the discovery tour will find its way into classrooms and 52 schools across the uk. as a result of the collaboration between the game�*s publishers ubisoft and ukie, the british games industry�*s trade body. ukie�*s educational arm digital schoolhouse will see this version of the game used as a teaching tool across a wide variety of subjects including history, art, english and computing. most teachers will agree, that when you are teaching children, passive consumption of knowledge has limited retention value long—term. the best way to get children to learn and to develop a deep and full understanding, which they can then apply later on down the line, is by getting them actively involved in doing something that is engaging. do not lose your course through the storm! so in the future, when we want to learn something, as well as consulting a book or research with the help of the internet, some of us mightjust pick up a games controller as well. where am i? jotunheim! i wish history was taught like that when i was at school, i would have been brilliant at it! i know, it reminds me of when i tried to learn a language using a mind palace in virtual reality, in 10 minutes i learned so much more than i could have done in a lot of time doing it normally. fires a different part of the brain, doesn�*t it? go on, say something. speaks spanish. anyway, that is it from us this week. as ever, you can keep up with the team on social media, find us on youtube, instagram, facebook and twitter at @bbcclick. thanks for watching and... speaks spanish. bye! hello there. we�*ve got some cloudy and damp weather around for the first part of sunday. quite a contrast, then, because we got some decent sunshine through saturday, the best of it across southern england, the midlands, wales and east anglia and the far north of scotland as well. but late in the day we did see some rain start to come down around the dunblane area. that really is the first signs of this band of rain that�*s showing up on the radar picture, pretty extensive and heavy across northern scotland and england, getting into north wales as well. and even further southwards, over the next few hours a few patches of rain across the south of wales and south—west england as well, leaving across the midlands, east anglia, south—east england and some dry weather north of scotland for the next few hours. a mild start to the day on sunday. 11 to 30 degrees widely, a legacy of cool and clinging on across the parts of northern scotland, where it should be a bright start. but otherwise, extensive cloud to start the day on sunday, the rain initially heavy in scotland, but later and patchy quickly to the morning. but i think across northern ireland, scotland and northern england, these areas will be prone to spots of rain even into the afternoon, so for some it will stay on the damp side. but at the same time, we should start to see some gaps in the cloud opening out in the south with a few sunny spells in southern england, southern wales and the south midlands. for monday, we�*ll start to see some stronger south—westerly winds moving in. so monday will be a windier kind of day, particularly across western areas, with layers of crowd and outbreaks of rain spilling in. not so much across eastern areas, but if you do see some sunshine, it�*s likely to be very hazy. there�*s going to be a lot of high cloud in the sky, so bright rather than sunny in those drier moments. temperatures will be mild, 15—18 degrees pretty widely, and it gets even milder still on tuesday. the winds coming from a long way south, but then we�*ve got this slow—moving weather front bringing some intense bursts of rain to the west. perhaps across wales, perhaps across cumbria. some of these areas could see localised surface water flooding issues. but again, eastern areas not seeing much in the way of rain, really. we could see some sunny spells breaking through. if that happens across the south—east we could see temperatures climb to 20 or even 21 degrees celsius. very, very mild indeed. that mild weather stays with us for the first half of the week before temperatures gradually get close to normal towards the end of the week. this is bbc news. welcome, if you�*re watching here in the uk or around the globe. i�*m rich preston. our top stories: a man suspected of killing the british member of parliament, david amess has been named as alirds more than 1,000 deaths from coronavirus in a single day for the first time since the start of the pandemic. mass protests in rome, as tens of thousands of italians call for a ban on the neo—fascist forza nuova party, over its involvement in a riot a week ago.

ali harbi ali — is thought not to have been put on a watchlist of subjects, of interest to the security services. russia has recorded more than 1,000 deaths from coronavirus in a single day for the first time since the start of the pandemic. the infection rate has also continued to soar as the authorities struggle to persuade people to get vaccinated. and tens of thousands of italians have marched through the centre of rome calling for a ban on the neo—fascist forza nuova party. its leaders were among those arrested after the headquarters of the nation's oldest trade union was stormed in a riot, a week ago. now on bbc news, it's time for the media show. hello. the back pages have been dominating the front pages this week with the sale of newcastle united football club. but the premier league isn't the only part of british public life that the saudis are buying into. the independent and the evening standard can both trace their ownership back to the gulf kingdom. while over in the us, media giants like netflix and disney have had big investment from the saudis. so, does this affect the journalism we read or the television we watch? joining me to discuss that is vivienne walt, a correspondent for time magazine and fortune. areeb ullah is a journalist at middle east eye. also sanan vakil who is deputy director of the middle east and north africa programme at chatham house, and jim waterson, who is media editor at the guardian. also today, the classic american music magazine, rolling stone, has launched in the uk. that might come as a surprise, considering how many media publications are shrinking. darren styles is the magazine's managing director. he also publishes attitude magazine. darren, i think we should probably call this more of a relaunch than a launch but it didn't go so well the first time rolling stone launched in the uk. yeah, i think it was 1968, mickjagger launched the magazine in partnership with jann wenner, the founder of rolling stone. and jann wenner said to me, everybody had a lovely time, burnt through quite a lot of money through a i2—month period, had a swanky office in chelsea, but jann decided it was doing more harm than good when i think what turned out to be the last issue spelt bob dylan's name wrong on the front cover. so, at that point, jann decided it was time to cut and run. so, 52 years later, here we are back again. but with spell—check, so all is good. brilliant. i look forward to hearing much more about that and what you are doing with this iconic title later in the programme. but let's start with saudi arabia. because the spotlight has been on the football. but listeners may be surprised to realise how embedded that country is in the british media. jim waterson, media editor at the guardian, just give us a reminder which newspapers and tv channels are owned by or associated with saudi arabia? well, saudi arabia is a country with a lot of money and it wants to improve its image and it wants to start improving its image abroad. and there is no better place in the world, if you are a gulf state, to come to change your image than london. we have all sorts of institutions whether football, media, or educational up for sale and willing to take some money. so, in the case of the media, you've got two really prominent examples, the london evening standard and the independent which is now online only, were both owned by lord lebedev who is a russian, originally from russia. he, a few years ago, sold stakes and a third of stakes to a mysterious saudi businessman who through a slightly complicated series of offshore accounts turned out to be, in the eyes of the british government, connected to the saudi state. it is worth noting that the independent made it very clear that they haven't had any editorial compromising positions as a result of this, that they feel they are able to do theirjob as well. but you've got to ask, what is it that the saudis are buying when they buy a third of these quite prominent british outlets? and before we answer that, can ijust interrupt and ask, my understanding is that we didn't actually know about this ownership, this part ownership. it wasn't in the public domain for quite some time, was it? it was kept very quiet through a series of cayman island—based accounts and it only really came out after some digging by the ft in particular who managed to expose who was the ultimate owner of these. and what british people might not know is you might read the independent and you might not notice anything different but across the middle east, the saudi owners have taken the independent brand and launched a series of websites which have, in the eyes of many, been seen to push a pro—saudi narrative in local languages. so, even if the brand in the uk isn't changing, the sort of power of the british brand can be used overseas. and this is a lot of it, it is soft power, whether it is advertising you see promoting saudi arabia, whether it is pr agencies in london that are earning massive sums spinning on behalf of all the gulf kingdoms, or whether it is actual direct ownership of the british media through partnerships with companies like the independent. and they say they are not promoting, that they are completely independent, that they are editorially independent, these outlets, but you are saying as well, are you, that this has real world implications for british readers, british audiences, do you think? i think with it all, journalism is a very hollowed out industry. there is a lot that you can scoop up on the cheap. if you want to buy an old brand of the british media, if you so wanted to, then it is relatively easy to pick one up on the cheap and staff it up with relatively underemployed journalists who are available for not an awful lot of money. if you want these things and you have the cash, you can kind of make this happen. and so when we think about what influences us, whether it is a mysterious facebook campaign promoting a country or whether it is a more traditional thing of owning an outlet, there is always an opportunity for gulf states, and it is not just saudi arabia, uae, qatar are also looking around the place and investing in outlets. they want to shape western opinion because they care about how it affects them and reflects on them back home. vivienne, let's bring you in from fortune. that is the british press we are talking about, but you have also be looking at some of the us media companies that saudi arabia has been investing in and these are companies that many of us use every day. absolutely. the one that i delved into deepest was netflix. the saudis made a big deal with netflix. now, it should be said that unlike what jim was talking about, these are us companies going out and looking for growth markets, and a lot of them are kind of tapped out in the west. we think of netflix being a booming company but its growth is really, really slowing, and where are you going to get millions and millions of well—funded young people to sign on to your service? it's going to be in countries like saudi arabia where two thirds of the country is younger than 30, they have money to spend, they are looking for entertainment, they are hungry for it, and as many of the saudis that i spoke to said, we binge watch all the kind of same tv as you do. we just do it online. but why does that mean the saudis want to invest in netflix? i can see why netflix might want to reach saudi. that was actually the direction it went. what saudi is investing in are other kinds of media companies. they have invested hugely in disney, in amc movie theatres, there wasn't a movie theatre in saudi arabia until a few years ago. they hadn't been a movie theatre open in the kingdom for something like 35 years. and now are there lots? there are, according to the head of amc, which runs, i think they have opened about a dozen multiplexes around saudi arabia, the one in riyadh, they estimate it does about 11 times the traffic as the one in london, for example. they are packed, they have been packed from day one when they opened in i think it was 2018. their first showing was black panther. it was the biggest event in riyadh memory. and that is interesting because it is the same black panther you'd see around the world. i wonder if the investment in something like netflix, the same question i asked jim, is does it have real—world implications, in terms of what they are seeing? does it give the saudis any editorial sway in what netflix views are seeing? we see tiny bits of that and i would say, unlike whatjim was saying, i think one of the major effects is a kind of...the hesitation that western producers have now. can they...um... can they create something that is very critical of the saudis without risking losing their shirt in the process? there was one instance which, of the documentary called the dissident made by an oscar—winning film director, it came out injanuary last year, it could not get distribution because it was about the murder ofjamal khashoggi. it took a very long time for that documentary to be picked up by anybody. and they were very clear reasons why. i mean, netflix screened it at, or came to the screening of it at the sundance film festival and took a pass on it, as did everybody else. i mean, i suppose netflix aren't here to put forward their side, there might be other reasons why they didn't want the documentary, it might not be any good, or whatever. you mention the deal between saudis and netflix, what was that deal? well, the saudis made two production deals... i beg your pardon, netflix made two production deals, five years each and five products each, tv series or movies with two production companies in riyadh. and, actually, the interesting thing is that you and i can now click on netflix and see what they have produced. and they are very unusual and rather surprising. these are made by young cutting—edge film directors, of which there are many in riyadh, and they are creating tv series and movies that are very clearly critical of rich saudis, possibly the royals, although that is a little bit less obvious. they explore, you know, the repressed sexuality. they are using the medium to express themselves in a way that i think might be quite surprising to western audiences. interesting. you mentioned just then, the murder ofjamal khashoggi, that was only a few years ago and there was outcry across the media, across the world, many parts of the world about that. are western media companies not seeing any pushback for their engagement with saudi arabia? very, very little. and in fact, khashoggi's murder which happened exactly three years ago came only six months after the crown prince and nbs did this major trip around new york and silicon valley and la and had dinner with all the major movie stars and directors and the major tech giants of silicon valley. they were in deals in the works. six month later, khashoggi was murdered. and there was a freeze for about a year or two. but i would say that that's pretty much behind the saudis, and you have what is now the kind of schizophrenic experience where, you know, six flags, the amusement park company, the biggest amusement park company in the world is building a huge amusement park outside riyadh. there is a film festival about to happen, i believe next month injeddah. there is a lot going on in saudi arabia which involves western media companies, entertainment companies, and they appear to have turned the page. sanam vakilfrom chatham house, a good point to bring you in. are you surprised there is not more pushback, given what happened with khashoggi? i think there was this two—year lull where nbs and the kingdom receded, they tried to take a back—seat, not be so public, and work on domestic issues. so, that is what we have been sort of witnessing over this two—year period, and with the sale of newcastle, i think this is a sort of signal that people are willing to turn the page, and as vivienne described, with so many companies still looking for markets, western companies have not been very successful or able to push back on human rights issues, which in the kingdom, go beyond the brutal murder ofjamal khashoggi and also, you know, worthwhile elevating and mentioning the activists and women and journalists are detained also in the kingdom. but the market is hugely appealing. there is a very young population that is looking to benefit from the social liberalisation that was granted by mohammed bin salman, so there is a domestic dynamic here to the sports—washing of the media—washing that is taking place, and the soft power projection is very much tied to domestic drivers of reform in the kingdom. and of course it has broader regional and international implications as well. areeb, let me bring you in because the football was mentioned, that has been the big story this past week, the saudi led consortium buying into newcastle football club. areeb ullah, you're from the middle eastern eye. in all the excitable coverage about these new owners in football, there's actually been much less about something we have obviously noticed on the media show, because we're a media show, which is, in the end this is a media story in a sense. tell us what are bein and beoth and how that all plays into this. so bein sports is the qatari—backe sports broadcaster got the commercial rights to air premier league games and sporting events from around the world for the middle east and also a lot of the global south, for example, indonesia is a big market for bein sports. and what happened was in 2017 when there was an air, sea and land blockade imposed on qatar, which owns bein sports, what also happened, and this was imposed by saudi arabia, i might add, what also happened was bein sports was also banned inside saudi arabia. but then a few weeks later what you saw was the emergance of a new website called beoth that was being promoted by senior royal advisers on twitter, like saud al-qahtani, who was accused of helping orchestrate the murder ofjournalist jamal khashoggi who you mentioned earlier. and this service is offering the sports offering that bein sports was offering. including the premier league? including the premier league. bein sports caught wind of this. they realised that... they did some digging themselves, as well as the premier league, and they discovered that the signal that was being used to air these games originated not from a colombian and cuban consortium, which is what the saudis were claiming, but from saudi arabia, from a company called arabsat, whch is a company which is majority owned by who? the saudi government. and then what happened after that is the qataris, they took this case to the world trade organisation to kind of get to the bottom of why this was happening, and they took saudi arabia to the wto arbitration process and the wto then ruled in favour of saudi arabia, sorry, not saudi arabia, qatar. and they accused saudi arabia of essentially not charging and prosecuting the people behind beoth. and this was a big deal for the premier league, for newcastle, that stalled that takeover. it is a massive deal for the premier league because bein�*s contract, for example, is worth roughly £500 million, and that is a lot of money for the premier league. and when the newcastle deal became public, one of the first people to condemn it and also lobby the premier league and the uk government against this deal was bein sports. but then what also happened was in early 2021, we saw saudi arabia end its blockade on qatar. and as a result of that, what we also saw only last week was bein sports was allowed to air its games and its programming inside saudi arabia. right, so there we go. we should point out in this tit—for—tat in saudi arabia that saudi arabia has previously blocked the website of your title, the middle eastern eye, because of what they say are your paper's links to qatar. yeah. jim waterson, got any thoughts on this? bein, beout, newcastle? i think with all of it, it is so hard to follow if you are not sort of entwined in the regional politics and it is very, very difficult. i spent so long on this and even i struggle with it. but basically you end up with a story where the thing blocking a takeover of a premier league club appears to be more about who is paying for the television rights than about the human rights in the country that is connected to the purchases. so, we have a fit and proper persons test, but i think with all of this it comes back to there is no better place in the world to come to than the uk if you want to buy an institution to improve your reputation. whether it's a football club or a media outlet, that's what we come back to. and ultimately the saudis have money on a scale that very few british investors and backers could dream of having. sanan vakilfrom chatham house, how typical is all of this? everything we have talked today about the way the gulf states use the media is an form of soft power, asjim was saying. well, as we were talking about the gulf, i think we should broaden the scope, this is not unique to saudi arabia. qatar, uae are equally involved in investing and using the media and trying to project soft power. they've got a lot of money to throw around. they do indeed, and part of the reason the multi—year rift between saudi arabia, the uae, qatarand bahrain was qatar's aljazeera media station, which was seen as an extension of the qatari government. it didn't provide accurate or honest reporting on regional issues, was not reflective of regional trends and realities. and one of the demands issued against qatar in the 2017 rift was that aljazeera be shut down. and so it's important to see how that sort of coverage of regional issues and of neighbouring gcc countries will change, if at all, once — now that the rift has been resolved as of january this year. and so this is very much tied to deeper dynamics of regional competition where you have these small countries, particularly the uae and qatar, trying to project power through sports, through investments in the media, through their own stations and channels, through buying football teams. and it's directed to politics back home, regional tensions, and again of course to improve their image in western countries. sanam vakil, thank you so much. that is us talking about gulf state franchises of british brands but let's now turn to a massive us brand that has arrived on british shores, and if that is not a massive handbrake turn, i don't know what is. darren styles, you are the managing director and the publisher of rolling stone uk edition. what made you think that an all—american magazine would work over here right now? well, a number of factors, really. i think politically — rolling stone is fundamentally a music magazine. it has music as its core, but it has also always been political, sometimes with a small p, sometimes with a big p, and also about film and tv. and in terms of — you were talking about netflx earlier. in terms of how people consume television and music now on a volume previously unseen, the range of choice that exists. i think as a commentary piece, rolling stone, then as now, does an amazing job. 550,000 subscribers across the us see rolling stone every month. and so i think with the way that the magazine market has changed in the uk, the music magazine market in particular over the last year or 18 months, there has been some attrition and so i think a space has opened up for a more generalist title. and so the numbers point that way and i hope i am wrong. i've got a lovely copy of it here. £6.95, comes out every two months. looking from the adverts, it is sort of aimed at quite high—end, sort of moneyed readers. it is that who you are aiming at? who is going to buy it, do you think? the average age of rolling stone reader in the states is a1, and i think that people who buy ink—on—paper magazines tend to be older, because that was the habit at the time. i think younger people get their news and their entertainment information now entirely digitally. but do you think you can get young people off tiktok, off youtube, to buy this? potentially yes, but our aspiration is to serve the audience that is already there. so the older audience. yes, q magazine closed last year. at the peak of its powers, was doing 200,000 copies a month. but even when it finished it was 35 to 40,000 copies a month, and for a boutique publisher of our size, that is a great proposition. if we can get anything close to that, then... it's premium price, it's on beautiful 100gsm silk matte stock. it's a coffee table proposition, and i think that suits people in that 35 to 45 age bracket particularly well. jim watterson, media editor of the guardian, i don't know if you have seen the magazine, but what are your on all this? i think anyone who is launching a new publication at the moment is a very brave person, especially a print one, so i have to wish you luck. he looks brave, courageous. i think i would like to know how much is going to be distinctively british and how much is going to be content from the us version. because there's quite different styles between the types of publications. it is looking very british at the moment, this one. it's got paul mason, ash sarkar. well, 100% of the launch issue has been generated in the uk. there are now 15 editions of rolling stone around the world, the original us one and 1a others — australia, south korea, china, japan, argentina, colombia, and so on. and all of that content goes into a big content pool, and any licensee can take whatever they want from that pool at any point. going forward, we have a licence that allows us to take 50% of any edition from the us and then beyond that from overseas. but we have such a strong music market here — well, and film industry — that we'll lead on british content. vivienne, does fortune still have a print version? i'm afraid i don't know. absolutely, it has several. it has a global edition. unlike what darren was saying, we pretty much print the same magazine throughout the world, i believe. and it still does get millions of readers, as does time. so, it's not — i hearwhatjim is saying. i think time used to get something like five million readers a week. it possibly gets half of that now, but it still does get, you know, in the seven figures at least. rolling stone — i guess that looking at it from an american kind of perspective, it has a huge name and it's known for being a kind of writers' magazine. so, very good luck, i think, is what we're all saying. i'm afraid that is all we have time for today but thank you very much to all my guests, to darren styles, to vivienne walt, areeb ullah, sanam vakil, andjim waterson. the media show will be back next week at the same time. for today, thanks for watching and goodbye. hello there. we've got some cloudy and damp weather around for the first part of sunday. quite a contrast, then, because some of us did get some decent sunshine through saturday, the best of it across southern england, the midlands, wales and east anglia, and the far north of scotland as well. but late in the day we did see some rain start to come down around the dunblane area. that really is the first signs of this band of rain that's showing up on the radar picture, with the rain pretty extensive and heavy across scotland, northern england, getting into north wales as well. and even further southwards, over the next few hours a few patches of rain across the south of wales and south—west england as well, leaving across the midlands, east anglia, south—east england largely dry. a fair bit of dry weather for the north of scotland over the next few hours. a mild start to the day on sunday. 11 to 30 degrees widely, a legacy of cool and clinging on across the parts of northern scotland, where it should be a bright start. but otherwise, extensive cloud to start the day on sunday, the rain initially heavy in scotland, but turning lighter and and patchier pretty quickly through the morning. but i think across northern ireland, scotland and northern england, these areas will be prone to some spots of rain even into the afternoon, so for some it will stay on the damp side. but at the same time, we should start to see some gaps in the cloud opening out in the south, with a few sunny spells in southern england, southern wales and the south midlands. for monday, we're going to start to get some stronger south—westerly winds moving in. so monday will be a windier kind of day, particularly across western areas, with layers of crowd and outbreaks of rain spilling in. not so much in the way of rain across eastern areas, but if you do see some sunshine, it's likely to be very hazy. there's going to be a lot of high cloud in the sky, so bright rather than sunny in those drier moments. temperatures mild — 15—18 degrees pretty widely, and it gets even milder still on tuesday. the winds coming from a long way south, but then we've got this slow—moving weather front bringing some intense bursts of rain to some of the hillier areas of the west, perhaps across wales, perhaps across cumbria. some of these areas could see some localised surface water flooding issues. but again, eastern areas not seeing much in the way of rain, really. we could see some sunny spells breaking through. if that happens across the south—east we may well see temperatures climb to 20 or even 21 degrees celsius. very, very mild indeed. that mild weather stays with us for the first half of the week before temperatures gradually get close to normal towards the end of the week. good morning, welcome to breakfast with chris mason and sima kotecha. 0ur headlines today: a terrorist investigation into the killing of mp sir david amess, the man arrested is named as alids gather to pay their respects at a candle—lit vigil. british tennis success in the united states might not be done just yet. cameron norrie is into his first masters final in indian wells after cruising past grigor dimitrov in the last four. and nobody does it better — the cars taking centre stage at a special exhibition celebrating james bond.

ali harbi ali — is thought not to have been put on a watchlist of subjects, of interest to the security services. russia has recorded more than 1,000 deaths from coronavirus in a single day for the first time since the start of the pandemic. the infection rate has also continued to soar as the authorities struggle to persuade people to get vaccinated. the united nations has withdrawn a job offer made to the former british health secretary, matt hancock. the role would have involved helping africa's economy recover from the pandemic but mr hancock says a un rule came to light, that bars sitting mps from the role. now on bbc news, the bbc climate editorjustin rowlatt meets prince charles. here he comes. his royal highness. your royal highness, lovely to see you. great to see you. you made it. so, your royal highness, we are in birkhall on the balmoral estate. you have said this is a very special place for you in the past, this is your happy place. what is so special about birkhall and balmoral? one of the most marvellous things is it is by this river called the muick. and it has this wonderful sound of rushing water when you are in the house. it is very calming and peaceful, ithink. but also, it was the first place that queen victoria well, it has a very special atmosphere and the house is rather wonderful because it is 1731, the original, just the first bit, and there have been extensions put on ever since. but i don't know, it is its setting and its atmosphere. and tell us about the arboretum because this is something you planted. this was a rather empty field that the farm didn't need any more, so i thought, v.ah___,. the great thing was i managed to plant it the same year that my grandson was born, the eldest, george. so i thought i would call it st george's. and it's an autumn garden, isn't it? it is really for autumn colour, and a bit of spring, but autumn is the magic up here. so, finding all the interesting trees and shrubs and so on that turn an interesting colour is half the battle. so, let's talk about that while we walk around but i would like to draw your attention to this because am i right in thinking that you planted this yesterday afternoon? i did, yes. this comes from finland, can you believe it? and i was given three of them because they are very rare. they are called curly birch and they have this extraordinary... oh, it's a birch? it's a birch tree but they grow very slowly and they sort of twist in some extraordinary way so the bark from the trunk gets twisted together. i shall be dead before i see anything! but i planted that myself. but this is a real passion for you, this gardening and horticulture, in general? it's an old man's obsession. that's what i wanted to ask because you called this prince george's garden, it's a legacy, an inheritance for your grandchildren. all of our grandchildren, if we've got them, if we are lucky enough to have them, will inherit the earth that we bequeath them, won't they? how worried are you about the state of that inheritance? deeply worried. it's the main reason i've spent a0 years or more... 50 years, i think. 50, if you look at my sort of rather hesitant steps at the beginning. but i have always felt that we are not understanding how much we depend on what nature provides. and also not understanding or having been somehow trained how much we depend on what nature provides. and also not understanding or having been somehow trained to believe that nature is a separate thing from us and we can just exploit and control and suppress everything about her without suffering the consequences. you've written a book about it, you talk about the lack of harmony, our loss of that sense of harmony between us and nature. what do you mean by that and what you think has been lost? actually, i tried to say in other areas years ago, there is the sense of the sacred. because when you think about the miracle, i think, of this earth sitting in the middle of the vastness of space and yet somehow everything works. how is that possible? it can'tjust be random chance. but if you look into the way nature operates, the universal principles, as islam understood that so well, having inherited it from the greeks and the egyptians is that underlying everything are fundamental patterns in the universe. and it's the most extraordinary thing when you look at it, the way the planets revolve and spin, the patterns they form as they create their orbits. and the way that nature itself recycles nutrients. everything. it's extraordinary. it is a complete virtuous circle but what we are doing is to disrupt nature by not following that circular pattern. it is a complete virtuous circle but what we are doing with our own economy is to disrupt nature's economy by not following that circular pattern. we have created a linear one which imagines that you can go on for ever, creating ever more growth and ever more changing without understanding that actually you have to fit together with nature and the way she does it. but because we haven't done that, we have caused mammoth disruption. now, we have disorganised and disrupted the whole planet's system of... climate regulation. ..climate regulation. i'm assuming that back in 1970, i think it was, when you gave your first speech that mentioned environmental issues, and you talked about plastic and oil pollution, you hadn't yet kind of come to these rather bigger understanding of the cycles of nature. what was it back then, can you remember, that made you anxious about nature, made you anxious about what we are doing to the environment? as i said before, many times, when i was a teenager, i minded deeply about what was happening. i'd witnessed, you know, the white—hot heat of the 1960s and technology, and getting rid of anything traditional, it was all ridiculous and outdated and irrelevant. so i witnessed, you know, hedges being grabbed up, trees being cut down, wetlands drained. i mean, you cannot believe it. so, i really minded about that and i felt this was going too far, throwing the baby out... you were in your early 20s, it is not normally the sort of thing that preoccupies... i happen to be one of those people who felt like that. i don't know where it came from but that is what i really minded about and i minded about balance and harmony. because i felt if you pushed things too far, you will always create an equal and opposite reaction, which is exactly what has happened. but in the meantime, if you're the idiot that suggests all of this, you're immediately accused of being an idiot. and that is exactly what happened. you got a lot of stick, if you don't mind me saying. i was accused of being anti—science. well, you got a lot of stick for kind of talking about nature, talking about the climate. i mean, you were teased, i remember, for talking to your plants. and that kind of thing. but you can't make a joke, you see, that's the other thing. did it hurt to get that kind of criticism and be parodied? it wasn't much fun! as you can imagine. and then of course because i suggested they were better ways of doing things, in a more balanced and integrated way, i was accused of interfering and meddling. this is what is so interesting coming back 50 years later and talking here in this beautiful garden of yours, that the narrative has changed. you know, lots of the things that you said are now mainstream... it's taken far too long. ..and world leaders are gathering in glasgow to talk about the kind of issues that you were... yeah, but they just talk. and the problem is to get action on the ground, which is what i've been trying to do for the last a0 years. by bringing people together from every kind of industry and walk of life, to try and create an awareness of what needs to be done. i spent an enormous amount of time at conferences, workshops, seminars, you name it trying to bring executives together for the last 35 to a0 years. can i say, you sound a little bit like greta thundberg who said exactly the same thing. you probably saw, its all blah blah blah. build back better, blah blah blah. do you feel she is onto somethin: ? _, , why do you think i've done all this for all these years? because i minded about, and always have done, the next generations. so, i've been doing this to make sure that my grandchildren, your grandchildren and everybody else's have some future. because the longer this nonsense went on, and nobody would address the issues... have you met greta? do you sympathise with her... yes, i met her at davos, when was it, lastjanuary. do you sympathise with the anger that she feels? yes, of course i do, yes! because i knew in the end people would get fed up and all these young feel nothing is ever happening so of course they are going to get frustrated. i totally understand. and because nobody would listen and they see their future being totally destroyed. what about the people who protest? what about, kind of, extinction rebellion? can you empathise with why you might go out onto the street and say, "take this issue seriously!" absolutely. i'll tell you something. extension rebellion came and made a sit—in at my driveway at highgrove when i was on a tour two, three, four years ago. the marvellous thing was they left a letter behind saying very nice things and saying back in such and such a time, you said such and such, you were right. then in 19—something about that, you are right, you are right, you were right. they came to congratulate you. marvellous. that was the right kind of demonstration. do you understand why they go out? of course i do, yes. but it isn't helpful, i don't think — to do it in a way that alienates people. so i totally understand the frustration. the difficulty is, how do you direct that frustration in a way that is more constructive, rather than destructive. the point is that people should really notice how despairing so many young are. the other frustrating thing is i've known for years... because i have been involved in the community and with the private sector for so long that so many of these businesses and companies have obviously lots of young that they employ that they really mind about these issues. but they haven't quite got to the top. do you get the sense that they are beginning to get it, that the big corporations kind of know that this is something that goes beyond business and is about them ensuring there is an earth for us all. they are beginning now. but it takes a long, long time. what is it now they think? 60%, but there is another a0% that need a lot of pushing. 60% of businesses? 60% of businesses are... in the last two years or since january last year, there has been suddenly a kind of dam bursting, particularly with the investor community who are now being pressured by their investors, by their shareholders, by all of these people to make a real difference in terms of sustainable investment opportunities. i remember this is what you said at the g7 in cornwall, it is all very well talking to governments but governments can bring billions, corporations can bring trillions. the difficulty then is how do you unlock all of those trillions of dollars with the assistance of the public sector? that is the key, because at the moment, all the different solutions to the problems we face, technology and natural solutions, none of them are considered economic. so let me ask you this... is our government doing enough to make these things happen? i couldn't possibly comment. it sounds to me like you feel there is positive movement. are you feeling optimism, hope? i'm a realist. the interesting thing is having being ridiculed for so long, they suddenly want me to help convene them. i haven't got an axe to grind, i am only keen to get the damn thing sorted. i've got to ask you this because this happens. we are all struggling today with our own kind of dilemmas about our personal impact on the environment and it... it's true to say, you've got a pretty hefty carbon footprint. yes. put it like this... it must take a lot of gas to heat a palace. yes, yes. but i have tried for a very long time to make sure the heating is done in a way that is as sustainable as possible. you use trees from the estate? yes. but that is one way and then the solar panels which i've managed to get on to clarence house and highgrove on some of the farm buildings and every kind of thing like that, and sauce, pumps, things like that. trying to reduce as as possible. i've got electric cars, i can't do it single—handed. you are a bit of a clarkson, jeremy clarkson, a bit of a petrol head. not really. you have enjoyed cars. yes, yes. that was before we knew what the problems were, particularly. my old aston martin which i have had for 51 years, that i managed to convert. i hardly have a chance to drive it now, really, but that runs are now on waste products, it runs on, can you believe this, surplus english white wine and whey from the cheese process. i am keen to know what you think about electric vehicles. i think we mustn't forget the importance of hydrogen in this mix, it can't all be done with electric vehicles. i think we mustn't forget the importance of hydrogen in this mix, it can't all be done with electric vehicles. there are problems with batteries and, you know, how you source the materials, and can you recycle them properly? at the moment, there is a huge amount of waste which is really worrying. we should be able to reclaim it in some way and reuse. what would you say to people watching this, in terms of diet? should they be eating less meat, flying less? flying, hopefully, will become easier and more sustainable rapidly if the right moves are taken. but certainly... flying is being done much less, recently. most of the people have done things online, as i have been trying to do, trying to get used to that. the business of what we eat, of course, is important. for years, i haven't eaten meat and fish on two days a week, and i don't eat dairy products on one day a week. now, i mean, that is one way to do it. if you did that, if more did that, you would reduce a lot of the pressure on the environment and everything else. you're not saying, don't cut it out, be more moderate. the thing about meat is it is very important, where does it come from, how is it grown? if it is grass—based, the right breed, better quality but less often — that approach to farming is less damaging than the industrialised approach with intensive everything, you know, and causing huge pressures and damage. we talked about nutrient cycles at the beginning, there are arguments that cows and other ruminants can be part of the recycling. of course. because what they produce at the back end is of incredible importance to replenish and provide or restore fertility to the soil. all these soils around the world are so degraded now because of so many years of artificial fertiliser made from fossil fuels and chemicals that they have, you know, they have become useless. so, if you replace the lost nutrients and you put, restore the fertility, that will capture more and more carbon. what can you do if we are still have in place endless subsidies for insane agri—industrial approaches to farming which are a disaster in many ways, cause huge damage, and contribute enormously to emissions. and we still have perverse subsidies for fishing in the oceans, causing again a mammoth damage, trawling up the bottom. it's crazy. you have made a great case for why we need to take action on this, there are some governments that seem to be reluctant to accept the urgency of this. australia, for example, what would you say to the government of australia that seems reluctant to take on board the need to take really serious action on this issue? well, i mean, you gently try to suggest there may be other ways of doing things. in my case, anyway. otherwise, you lot accuse me of interfering and meddling. scott morrison, the australian pm, isn't even sudden he can make it to the meeting in glasgow. is that what he says? he says he has spent enough time in quarantine. what you said to world leaders about why they should come to glasgow? that is what i'm trying to say all the time. and the point being that this is a last chance saloon, literally. because if we don't really take the decisions that are vital now, it is going to be hard to catch up. there will people watching this you will be sceptical and they will say, listen, the uk produces 1% of world emissions, other countries aren't doing their bit, why on earth should we make this huge effort and hobble our economies for something which ultimately will be useless? what would you say to them about why this is urgent and what is at stake for them but also for the world? it will be a disaster. it will be catastrophic. it is already beginning to be catastrophic. because nothing in nature can survive the stress that is created by these extremes of weather. so, i know from looking at trees and everything else that the moment trees are stressed from being either starved of water or too much water, that is when they start to exhibit disease and everything else. human beings, the whole of nature is so dependent on this balance and harmony, if you see what i mean, that the more we disrupt it, the more impossible it is, so what chance have we got to grow things we need if we don't sort this out? you have a lot of rowan trees here with the lovely red berries, they are quite a good example, aren't they? i think alan your gardener were saying they can't germinate now because the winters are too warm and they need a period of below freezing and he's now taken the rowan berries and put them in your freezer. this is the thing, there is so much more to life and the world than we think. so, we are busily destroying, still, through deforestation, the destruction of habitats that are so rapidly dwindling, you know, we are destroying our future by making extinct things that have not been discovered by science. we have set up something called the circular bio economy alliance which is now we've got a living laboratory are being established now in south america, brazil and colombia and madagascar and so on, ghana, to demonstrate on a smaller scale to start with what can be done with an integrated approach biodiversity regeneration using an approach that no longer has monocultures of trees but is much more diverse, but also integrated with regenerative agriculture and agroforestry techniques which are critical, all of which can be again integrated with community, rural community enhancement and working with small farmers. we've got this big, critical vital conference happening in glasgow, world leaders coming together to make decisions about what they are going to do in terms of tackling climate change — what would a successful outcome be? well, as i've been saying, to unlock the vast amount of money and investment opportunity there is to make the transition to a more sustainable and circular economy happen quicker. i promise you, there are all these people wanting to do the right thing if we can just, as i say, the governments, all they need to do is give the market singles, the mandating, and the catalytic finance and blended finance, they call it, which could underwrite the riskjust to get those things started, things moving, on the ground. there are island states and the pacific and caribbean and the african countries, nigeria, a vast problem there, the president was telling me yet last year about all the problems they faced there with deforestation and agriculture, a lot of what they produce is wasted because of the lack of distribution and refrigeration but these are huge investment opportunities. having discussed these issues, what would your ideal for a future britain look like? what do you want britain to become? beyond our lifetime, 50 years�* time. i don't want to offer a hostage to fortune. i shall be held, "oh, it didn't happen. give usjust an idea. for instance, there is a hell of a lot of what it could be like and i think we should be leading the way, in terms of how we could... as an island, i have always felt that we could have an enormous impact as somewhere which was renowned for its environmental quality, the way we farm, and the kind of products we produce and how they are related to telling a story about the place, the people, you know, the culture and the traditions of these areas but also that we have restored lost habitat. so the wetlands, the wild flower meadows, the hedgerows, the trees, the ancient woodlands — we could restore all that, but notjust planting great big forests everywhere but looking, for instance, at replacing, replanting hedgerows where they were taken out. so, a lot of parts of britain arejust prairie farms. if you put hedgerows and trees, they would catch a lot of carbon. plus, avenues. one of the things i want to do is help plant avenues of trees which could commemorate all the people who have died during this pandemic. in fact, there was a wonderful example in australia, after the first world war, when they planted avenues of trees to commemorate all the people who had died in active service. and when you think what a difference, you know, urban trees make, and yet at the moment, councils keep cutting them down and say they are getting in the way or they are blighted, but avenues could be another way, and they are wonderful in the landscape as well. we are in this wonderful arboretum, we have talked about trees, can i ask you, what is your favourite tree variety, if i may? and why? what do you look for in a tree? why the trees here, for example? well, the trees are here, particularly, because of autumn colour. the colours are absolutely incredible. and liquid ambers which go red and scarlet. we see the beginning of it here. we've just got autumn coming. the azaleas go wonderful oranges and reds up here. i was talking to alan, the gardener, and i said, how much interest does his royal highness take in the garden? he says, listen, i can't even put a shrub in here, i have to send him a memo if i want to put a shrub in. is that right? absolutely. don't worry, nothing happens here without my say so. this really is your garden? yes, i designed it, iworked with somebody who helped find some of the trees and i have been finding ever since. as i say, it is an old man's obsession so i spent my life pruning and planting. can we have a look at the...are they called chokeberries? aronias. aronias, yes, i think the american term is chokeberry. i've never come across these before. they are now becoming an mad keen health food. are these the edible ones? the extraordinary thing is none of the birds eat them. there are different varieties of them. i wouldn't, no... there are better ones. they are a bit tart. they are slightly astringent. your royal highness, can i say, that was a fantastic interview, thank you very much indeed for spending so much time with us. and it was lovely to see this wonderful garden. it was such a treat to be in the prince george garden. thank you very much indeed. ijust hope he appreciates it one day. i'm sure he will. i don't know. people get older and they suddenly change, don't they? your priorities change as you get older, don't they? you suddenly see the value in... hello, we've got some cloudy and damp weather around on sunday. some of us got decent sunshine through saturday, the best of it through midlands and east anglia. in the far north of scotland as well. later in the day, rain started to come down in dunblane and that was the first signs of this band of rain showing up on the radar picture, pretty extensive and heavy across scotland and northern england and northern wales. it will probably pick up a few patches of rain across the south of wales and south—west england as well, leading ? leaving south—east england largely try, a fair bit of dry weatherfor the england largely try, a fair bit of dry weather for the far north of scotland over the last few hours. 11 to 13 degrees widely, legacy of cooler air clinging on across the far north of scotland where it should be a bright start. 0therwise, extensive cloud starts the day on sunday, the rain initially heavy in scotland but turning lighter and patchy through the morning but i think across northern ireland, scotland and northern england, these areas will be prone to spots of rain even in the afternoon so for some it will stay on the dump side but at the same time, we should start to see the cloud opening out in the south with a few sunny spells, southern england, southern wales and the south midlands. 0n southern wales and the south midlands. on monday, we start to get some stronger south—westerly winds moving in south—westerly winds moving in so monday will be windier, but if he across western areas with layers of cloud and outbreaks of rain spilling in. much rain in the east but if you do see sunshine, it is likely to be very hazy, they will be a lot of high cloud in the sky so bright rather than sunny and those drier moments. temperatures are mild, 15 to 18 degrees pretty mildly ? pretty madly and milder on tuesday. then we got the slow—moving weather front bring in some intense bursts of rain and some of the hilly areas in the west, perhaps across wales, perhaps across cumbria, some of these areas could see localised flooding issues. eastern areas not seen much in the way of rain, we could see some sunny spells breaking free. if that happens, we could see temperatures up to 21 celsius. very mild indeed, that mild weather stays with us for the first half of the week before temperatures gradually get closer to normal towards the end of the week. this is bbc news. i'm rich preston. our top stories: a man suspected of killing the british member of parliament, david amess, has been named as aliously been referred to a counter—extremism programme. all the prime minister and leader of the opposition paid their respects at the scene of the attack — as a review begins into the threats faced by politicians. we live in an open society, democracy. we live in an open society, democracy-— we live in an open society, democra .~ ., , democracy. we cannot be cowered b an democracy. we cannot be cowered by any individual _ democracy. we cannot be cowered by any individual or _ democracy. we cannot be cowered by any individual or any _ by any individual or any motivation, people with motives, who stop us from functioning. russia records more than 1,000 deaths from coronavirus in a single day — for the first time since the start of the pandemic. mass protests in rome — as tens of thousands

ali harbi ali, is thought not to have been put on a watchlist of subjects, of interest to the security services. russia has recorded more than one thousand deaths from coronavirus in a single day for the first time since the start of the pandemic. the infection rate has also continued to soar as the authorities struggle to persuade people to get vaccinated. tens of thousands of italians have marched througn the centre of rome, calling for a ban on the neo—fascist forza nuova party. it's leaders were among those arrested after the headquarters of the nation's oldest trade union was stormed in a riot, a week ago. now on bbc news, it's time for newscast. hello, we've got a slightly different kind of newscast for you today. i'm at kensington palace to speak to the duke of cambridge. and we are going to talk about his earthshot prize, where he is going to give £1 million to the best ideas to fix climate change, boost nature, clean our air and our oceans and to reduce the amount of waste that we all use. he has also made a big, prime—time documentary series with sir david attenborough, which in a totally non—cringing way i'm going to make him watch. newscast from the bbc. hello, it's adam in kensington palace, which i can't still believe i'm actually saying. and william in a small room that is very well ventilated at kp. welcome to newscast. this is a significant upgrade to normally what we do on this podcast, so it is very good of you. it is good to see you, adam, nice of you to be here. i've explained the basics of what the prize is to people already. but for you what was the eureka moment when you thought, "i've got to do something about this?" where were you? so, it's been in the back of my mind for quite a while, you know, the whole climate change debate, environmental issues, pollution, so i've always felt very strongly about it and i've been watching very carefully what others have been doing, and for me over the last few years, the sort of urgency and the positivity, particularly the positivity around the debate, has been missing. it's been very negative. understandably, it's such a large issue that everyone feels completely overwhelmed by the facts, the scale of the problems and things like that. so we wanted to break it down and try and work out how could we add something that was going to create action and create positivity, create energy towards actually solving some of these problems? i think for me it sort of formulated and it cemented itself a bit in my mind in namibia about three years ago. i love community conservation and namibia had been some of the world leaders in community conservation. for people who don't know what that is, it is effectively the locals, wherever you are in the world, taking an interest in the management of the wildlife, nature, the environmental assets around them. so they very much manage them, they protect them, they nurture them for their own prosperity. and for me i came away having met loads of good people there and i felt really inspired, really energised by what i had seen, but then coming back to the uk and seeing the headlines around the world, and the media also like to concentrate sometimes on the negativity and i felt, "you are losing people every single time you have those headlines." we all get that there is a really big, urgent message and i'm not saying we shouldn't talk about the urgency or the big issues, but ultimately if we want to tackle this, if we want to get on the front foot, we have got to bring people with us. people have got to feel like there is hope, there is a chance we can fix this. that is what the prize is about, providing solutions to some of the world's biggest environmental problems. and so is the dream that the award show calendar goes baftas, oscars, earthshot? i think it should go earthshot, baftas, oscars. but, hey... it depends when your year starts. exactly. the idea is to make the earthshot prize the biggest, global, environment prize in history. i think we've got time on our side, this is the right time to do this. we've got ten years of critical time where we have to make inroads in finding solutions and inspiring people that we can fix the solutions because, past 2030, things will get rapidly worse very quickly. of course it's called the earthshot, and as soon as you hear earthshot, you think, "0h, moonshot, jfk." absolutely. so the original genesis of this is to try and capture the ingenuity and the problem—solving and the ambition of the moonshot. and so based onjfk's idea to get a man on the moon all those years ago and all the technology and all the advancements to try and get a man on the moon, like solar panels, cat scanners, all that sort of stuff, we are trying to galvanise and push solutions forward. i think for me particularly, the idea that the space race is on at the moment, we have seen everyone trying to get space tourism going, it's the idea that we need some of the world's greatest brains and minds fixed on trying to repair this planet, not trying to find the next place to go and live. i think that ultimately is what sold it for me, is that that really is quite crucial, we need to be focusing on this one rather than giving up and heading out into space to try and think of solutions for the future. having said that, though, would you like to be a space tourist one day? do you know what? i have absolutely no interest in going that high. i'm a pilot, but i'm a helicopter pilot, so i stay reasonably close to the ground. i've been up to 65,000 feet once in a plane and that was truly terrifying. and that's high enough. do you go weightless at that point? not quite, but the sky is black above you and you can see the curve of the earth. that's close enough to space for me. cos you can come back down again. it's in the orbit, so it's ok. i dread to think of the carbon footprint of a rocket going into space for ten minutes. that is also a fundamental question. and is the idea that basically you are a technological optimist and actually in an ideal world, technology, politics and business can look after all of this stuff for us and you and i as individuals may be actually might not need to change our lives that much? absolutely, adam. so that is the key, it's about inspiring and finding solutions that can be around us right now and hopefully in the future, rather than just the debate concentrating on what we need to give up, what we can't do, which is very negative. all of us, as much as we will try, even if all of us did a little bit here and there to change our ways, it still isn't going to be enough. that's the thing i think we have to get across, that this is a big challenge, this is a big task we are about to take on. and i think we need heroes, we need those people who really have got vision, ambition, energy, to step up, come forward, and give us solutions. it is notjust about technology, as you pointed out. the earthshot prize is not just about technology. there are plenty of technological solutions we can celebrate, but it is about thinking differently, it's about thinking outside the box, it's about doing stuff in a different way that makes us richer, healthier and happier in the future. you talked about future generations. we are always in this debate talking about what it means for our kids. i don't have kids, you have kids. what do you say to your children about this? i think they are living and growing up in a world where it is much more talked about than when we were growing up. so that has benefits and it has negatives as well because we are seeing a rise in climate anxiety. young people now are growing up where their futures are basically being threatened the whole time. it's very unnerving, it's very anxiety making. growing up, you've got to worry about a job, you've got to worry about family life, housing, all these things, and you are putting in the climate, the very thing that we live, breathe and walk around, on top of all of that? no wonder we are having a lot of mental health concerns and challenges coming along. now, i also believe that the younger generation are going to lead this and are going to dominate this. we can't not. and wherever we go and speak to young people, they are all very concerned about the environment. they love it. children love being outdoors, they love getting muddy, they love playing, chasing and playing sport and all that stuff. i think they have a truer appreciation of what we are going to miss and what we are letting go of than actually many of the adults. that is where a bit of the disconnect is happening. those adults in positions of responsibility are not channelling their inner child to remind themselves, to remember, how much it meant to be outdoors and what we are robbing those future generations of, that outdoor childhood. have your children got to the age where they are starting to nag you about this? quite often, that is the way round it works. george at school recently has been doing litter picking, and i didn't realise, but talking to him the other day, he was already showing that he was getting a bit confused and a bit sort of annoyed by the fact they went out litter picking one day, and then the very next day, they did the same route the same time and pretty much all the same litter they picked up was back again. i think that for him, he was trying to understand how and where it came from. he couldn't understand it. he was like, "we cleaned this. why has it not gone away?" and if we look at it like that, you start to realise that if you go back to childhood, "wow, yeah, this is where we should be at." we have got to be asking ourselves these questions. why is that ok for that litter to come straight back 2a hours later? but did he also then start to ask questions about how he lives his life and the resources he uses and what his impact on the planet is? like we are all having to do. i think a definite sense of realisation and understanding, so the education piece is really key. so, for instance, not overusing water, being careful with our resources, turning off lights, things like that, which was instilled in me growing up. these things, we are now having to extrapolate them bigger and bigger. so, yes, he is acutely aware, more so than the other two at the moment. charlotte is still a little bit young, she's still not quite sure, and louisjust enjoys playing outside the whole time, he lives outside, but i think it is slowly dawning on them that these things matter. but when you are that young, you just want to have fun and enjoy it, and ifeel bad. i don't want to give them the burden of that worry. i suppose going in the other direction, your dad has been worried about this stuff for a very long time, and people used to take the mickey out of him a little bit for it. absolutely. i think it has been a hard road for him. my grandfather started off helping out the wwf a long time ago with nature work and biodiversity, and i think my father sort of progressed that on and talked about climate change a lot more very early on before anyone else thought it was a topic. yes, he's had a really rough ride on that, and i think he has been proven to have been well ahead of the curve, well beyond his time, in warning about some of these dangers. but it shouldn't be that there is a third generation coming along having to ramp it up even more. for me, it would be a disaster if george was sat here talking to you or your successor, adam, in 30 years�* time, still saying the same thing because, by then, we'll be too late. can we get very existential for a minute? yes. we always talk about net zero by 2050. in 2050, there is a very high chance you'll actually be the king then. is it the done thing in your family to think about that moment and about that being the case? i think 2050 is locked in my head for the net zero targets and things like that, that is what we are all working towards. i think by 2050, we should have had a very clear picture of what the world is going to look like, and if we haven't tackled some of these issues by 2050, then it's going to be not a fun year to be around. i found myself saying the phrase the other day there, "oh, yeah, we've had some really important pre-cop ndcs unga." pre—cop... pre-cop ndcs unga. and that is all about the whole cop26 process. what do you think when you look at that process and you hear all that stuff? well, for instance, there's a lot of acronyms. yes. a lot ofjargon. a lot of people won't understand what is going on. ithink... again, people like to confuse one another with clever acronyms. it happens all the time. and i think for cop to communicate very clearly and very honestly what the problems are and what the solutions are going to be is critical. we can't have more clever speech and clever words but not enough action. that is why the earthshot prize is so important because we are trying to create action. are you going to go to cop? i will be at cop, and hopefully, the finalists for the awards will be at cop, too. and you have been on all our tv screens with the five—part documentary you have done with sir david attenborough which has been on bbc one. yeah. it was very good. and it is all on iplayer. and i thought we could now do the second half of the podcast, which i am calling it's a royal box set, which if you don't know the reference to it's a royal knockout, you would not believe it if i told you what it was. i never watched it, but i gather it did not go down that well so, yes, thank you for bringing that up, adam. so yes, we are going to watch some of the highlights of the series. it's very meta. we are going to film ourselves watching you being filmed talking about ea rthshot. there is nothing uncomfortable about that at all. it doesn't get more newscast than that! yeah. sounds awesome. right, let's watch you on tv. so five episodes, this is some of the highlights. i'll do the remote control. also, i should say, this isn't your tv, this is our tv, so if i scroll down, i'm not going to get your recently watched. that's good. which would have been fascinating to see. at least you might know how to work it, adam. yes, we'll see. right, so this is the episode about climate change. each episode starts with you doing actually a little bit of action man stuff. yes. and this is you going to see an offshore wind turbine. it has taken a bit of time, but there's now no doubt that we're entering a new revolution, a sustainable revolution. the david attenborough music. this field of turbines of the east coast of england... no david, sadly. he could do this a lot better. this is pretty good for a first—timer, actually. and today, britain's offshore wind farms that supply the electricity needs of more than a third of its homes. it's a small step in the right direction. but across the world, we need to do so much more. cool shots. bit of slow—mo. love it. the climate is changing faster than ever. which is why fix 0ur climate is one of the five goals of the earthshot prize. there's you standing on the top. yeah, takes about half an hour to get up there. we will award £1 million to a project that will help us to achieve this goal. so, yeah, is that a bit of an adventure, going up there? that was, yeah. i'd never been up a wind turbine, funnily enough. not your sort of average wednesday afternoon activity. but, yeah, it was really cool to talk to the guys who operate it, who work there, and just seeing the scale up there. i mean, how big is it? i've actually never seen one up close. i mean, i don't know what the stats are on how high it is, but it took us half an hour to get up the ladder. there's a tiny, narrow ladder inside and you have to get roped up and harnessed up and everything and there are tiny doors you have to sort of navigate through. right. and at the top, these big, giant doors open up. they have to, you know, stow the actual cell and then you climb out on top and it was an amazing view. luckily, i don't get too bad vertigo because you are literally on the edge, clipped in. helicopter pilot. exactly, yeah, it does help. but, you know, it was cool, the drone, we had a big drone for the day, so it was quite fun watching them do that. they had to try to land the drone on a really rocking boat and i think it was like £20,000 worth of kit that the bbc quite, you know, didn't want to splash in the water or smash onto the deck. so there was a lot of sweaty moments. but, no, it was really fun working with the team and filming that. you know, i don't do a david attenborough impression, you know, he would have done a better job, but i really enjoyed kind of explaining a bit about what, you know, the awards and things are about. yeah. this is a really dweeby question, but do you have a favourite renewable energy? because i think everyone has a favourite. that is quite a dweeby question. erm... you know, i don't really know, no. i don't know the stats well enough. i like all renewables. they all come together. if you go on that website and the national grid tells you what the energy mix is like every second of the day, that's really cool. right, shall we watch another episode? yeah. now, this is where we get introduced to the legend that is sir david attenborough. good. here in the british isles, over the centuries, we have long since turned our natural wildernesses into a tamed, orderly landscape. that reminder that, like, nature isn't actually natural sometimes. yeah. well, we see all the farming. and this has consequences. a less wild world is a less stable world. and that is a world less able to support all species, including ourselves. that's why i agreed to join the earthshot prize council. we can protect and restore the natural world, and as we do so, we start to bring stability to our planet. and so is basically sir david the yoda to your luke skywalker? yes, i would say he is yoda, although i am not sure how many kickass moves he's got, but his voice is extremely kickass. you know, he was one of the first names on the list for the council and we have got this earthshot prize council, so we effectively, having gone through a number of filter processes, through expert advisory panels and everything else, it comes to us as the council members to sign off the winners, and david was the first person on the list along with christiana figueres. we needed their expertise, their sort of global interest, to kind of test it on them. i remember, the first meeting with david, discussing about the earthshot prize, and he would sit there and, you know, he would look at me very sincerely and nod along and then he sort of, he looked around and thought about it for a bit and then he said, "yeah, i think this is exactly what we need" and that was my little moment where i was like, "do you know what? this is ok." kerching, yeah. has he given you just an amazing piece of advice that you can just link everything to? he has been a constant support through all of this. he has never once said no or, "i wouldn't do it like that." he has steered in his gentle david way. and we have navigated a few things together. and, you know, he was brilliant with the children, when he met them. he brought out his fossil collection and showed the children that. george at the time absolutely adored all of the dinosaur fossils. he has always been as you see him on tv, he isjust a fantastically charismatic and experienced man and, you know, you can't but stop and listen to him. and you want to ask him another story — and that voice, you know, it isjust legendary, isn't it? i hear that he does not do e—mails? well, he has never e—mailed me, so i can't comment. right, now we are going out to sea, and i think this could be this year's cute polar bear rolling down in the snow moment because it is a dog on a life jacket, basically wearing sunglasses. yeah. diving into the sea, looking for whale poo. that is a new thing for newscast. the best way to understand what is happening inside of| a whale is to look i at what comes out. that means studying killer whale poop, or scat. - take the evidence where you can find it, don't you? she says killer whale poop. well, she's american. right, here is the cute dog. he's in his life jacket. ..by using our scat detection dog iba on the front- of the boat to help us find those samples. l such cool sunglasses, they will definitely catch on. it is a dog in... it looks more like a ski mask, doesn't it? it does, doesn't it? kitted out with protection from the salt spray and the sunshine, iba takes command. the amount of dogs you see now when people go out paddle boarding and everything on the coast, all the dogs are chilling on the front of the paddle boards. they love it. she will whip around i to the side of the boat in which that scent is coming from. i that can be up to a mile away that she can smell that. - and it is interesting because remember when sir david did blue planet and everyone was talking about plastic bags in the ocean and it was the most important thing that year, do you think oceans have become less important as we now focus on the climate change bit of the problem? it all adds into the bigger picture. you know, the oceans are huge carbon sinks themselves, so everything is intertwined. what i am so pleased is one of the finalists for the earthshot prize, in fact, two of them, one of them is about regrowing coral, which is an incredible achievement, and the other one is about protecting 30% of the world's oceans, which will have a massive effect. you know, it is getting across this idea that these protected areas will benefit future generations because of the sustainability of it. it is not robbing fishermen of their livelihoods. it is increasing their livelihoods and increasing the reliability of those future generations being able to fish in the same places for years and years. it is reallyjust trying to get across that positivity of what these solutions can bring. right now, this is the episode about air pollution and for me, i think this is the a star is born moment. yeah. this is venetia, who is 16 years old, lives in india and she has come up with a really cool invention. actually, before we watch it, because i didn't understand this until i saw this... yeah. ..what is an ironing cart? so, good question. i think, and this is the point is that many things happen around the world that we maybe don't understand. and in india, they have ironing carts. so effectively, it is like a street vendor. so you take your ironing out, your washing out, and it gets ironed while you wait. genius idea. and she's got mobile phone adapters there so people can do calls and work whilst they are having their clothes ironed. the thing i did not appreciate was, there are 10 million ironing carts in india. right. that's just india. i mean, there are others in other countries, but india have got 10 million, all charcoal—fired. so huge polluters, massive co2 emissions all day long, and she has come up with this genius idea to turn it solar—powered. |the story started when i was 12 years old and i wasjust coming back home from schooll and i noticed the ironing vendors in my street using charcoal. - i knew there was somethingj wrong about it, so i did a bit of research and i figured out that charcoal causes air - pollution, respiratory. diseases, and all of this is linked to climate change. in 2019, with a lot of homework, as well as the attention and support of india's national innovation foundation... she strikes me as somebody who does not have to be nagged to do her homework. no, i think she's quite diligent, definitely. the cart has solar panels forming its roof and these are connected to a battery. it takes around five hours of bright sunshine to fully charge. yeah, and i suppose that sums it up, doesn't it? it does. the whole mission. that's the next generation leading the way and showing solutions. and in that case, that is what is so interesting because that is, for her, that is a massive achievement, but it is not a huge revolution in terms of how you think. she has come up with a really clever solution which is going to have a massive impact and can be scaled. you know, there aren't ironing carts all around the world, but there are a number of, you know, ironing carts in the east and asia, so that in itself is her doing her bit and making a big contribution. when somebody does win, then actually, what specifically happens? so on the awards ceremony itself, it is going to be projected, we are going to go, hopefully, if all the it works, we are going to go in—country where they have won and we will see and meet the winners themselves and have a chance to have a quick chat with them. the key point we hope to do is translate as clearly as we can the science and chemistry and physics in some of the things to a mass audience that isn't full of jargon and abbreviations. and then the winner, like, what actual stuff do they get alongside...? just explain to us the process once you have won. so once you have won, effectively, you will get £1 million prize money. that sounds great, and to some of these people and organisations, it will make, you know, a big difference. but the key thing, the reason why you want to win the prize is because of these global alliance members, these massive companies around the world, who will basically come along and provide a tailor—made support package for you and effectively give you mentorship, maybe some more product design work, just a pure scalability factor which they could never access and never be linked up to before. so we are effectively pumping large venture capitalists towards the solutions and saying, "right, over to you guys. make these things as big as they can be and make them work and make them so that everyone can understand." you clearly love the prize—giving bit and are learning about the issues. did you enjoy the tv presenting bit? i am not a natural tv presenter, funnily enough. i think you are pretty good, actually. well, you are very kind, adam, but i think for now, david is the man for the job, but i really enjoyed learning more about it and going and seeing some of these places and it sort of focuses the mind. we're all so busy that unless you stop and focus on this for a time and talk about it, it does not sort of sink in. so i am hoping people can find enough time to sit down and watch the series and hopefully it brings it to life. it is interesting because it is a different way of being a member of the royal family because, like, we see your grandma on christmas every year, but we don't see her going up a wind turbine or doing a tv show or hosting an award ceremony. i am not sure she's ever been up a wind turbine, but that is not to say she wouldn't. well, she did jump out of a helicopter. that's very true, yeah. yeah, i think it isjust, now i have got children as well, and speaking to other parents, you know, it is a bit of a cliche, but you do start to see the world differently. and i want the things that i have enjoyed, the outdoor life and the sort of nature and environment, i want that to still be there, notjust for my children but everyone else�*s children, and we... if we are not careful, we are robbing from our children's future with what we do now and i think that is not fair. so i am trying to use my little bit of influence, my little bit of profile, to highlight some incredible people doing amazing things, and who will genuinely help fix some of these problems. well, this has been brilliant, so thank you very much. thanks. newscast. newscast, from the bbc. cloudy and damp weather around for the first start of sunday, because we got some decent sunshine through saturday, the best of it across southern england, the midlands, wales and east anglia and the far north of scotland as well. late in the day, we did see some rain start to come down around dunblane, that is the first signs of this band of rain showing up on the radar, pretty extensive and heavy across northern scotland and england, getting into north wales as well and even further southwards, a few patches of rain across the south of wales in south—west england as well, across the midlands, south—east anglia, and some dry weather north of scotland for the next few hours. a mild start to the day on sunday. ii to 30 degrees widely, a legacy of cool and clinging on across the parts of northern scotland, but otherwise extensive cloud to start the day on sunday, the rain initially heavyy in scotland, but later and patchy quickly to the morning but across northern ireland, scotland and northern england, these areas will be prone to spots of rain even in the afternoon so for some it will stay on the damp side but at the same time we should start to see some gaps in the cloud opening out in the south with a few sunny spells in southern england, southern wales and the south midlands. for monday, we will start to see some stronger south—westerly winds moving in, so monday will be a windier kind of day, particularly across western areas with layers of crowd and outbreaks of rain spilling in, but if we do see some sunshine, it is likely to be very hazy, and a lot of high cloud in the sky, so bright rather than sunny in those drier moments. temperatures will be mild, 15—18 degrees and it gets even milder still on tuesday. the winds coming from a long way south, and then we the slow—moving weather front bringing some intense bursts of rain to the west. perhaps across wales, perhaps across cumbria. some of these areas could see localised surface water but eastern areas not seeing much in the way of rain, but we could see some sunny spells breaking through, and if that happens across the south—east we could see temperatures climb to 21 celsius, very viry mild indeed, and that mild weather stays with us for the first half of the week before temperatures gradually get close to normal towards the end of the week. welcome to bbc news. our top stories: i'm rich preston with a summary of the bbc world news. british detectives now have until next friday to question a man arrested on suspicion of murdering the mp, sir david amess. he'd been holding a constituency meeting at the time of the attack. bbc news understands that the 25—year—old suspect, aliamme several years ago. daniel sandford has the latest.
