iwill do anything goes wrong, but it is driving itself. something i have never done before. we are doing 103 kilometres per hour on the motorway, and i will put a virtual reality headset on. here we go. i don't think anyone else has done this either. now, at the moment, i know i am driving along a motorway. but, because i have got the virtual reality headset on, i am actually flying over a valley. i can see la kes flying over a valley. i can see lakes beneath me. there are birds around me. umm, there is a large lunar landscape up around me. umm, there is a large lunarlandscape up in around me. umm, there is a large lunar landscape up in front. it is a com pletely lunar landscape up in front. it is a completely different world. what the company is trying to do is make you turn your mind to other things, relax, sit back, and enjoy the show. thank you so much for investing your time with us. i am driving away. goodbye for now. the top stories this hour: the us praises demonstrators in iran, but ridicules claims by iran's supreme leader that t

well, sally, iwill start well, sally, i will start with the numbers, samsung forecast profit for the willjump the final three months of last year will jump by 64% the final three months of last year willjump by 64% from one year earlier to about $14 billion. now, this would mark the third straight quarter they have posted record high operating profits, so that is really strong. most people think these numbers are due to the sale of galaxy smartphones, but they are mostly due to the sale of the chips inside the smartphones, as well as other intelligence devices. samsung with the world's biggest semiconductor manufacturer, and so while the numbers are good, we're actually seeing some mixed reaction because kjaersfeldt over concerns that the prices of memory chips will fall. thank you very much indeed. that pesky strong currency syndrome eating into samsung profits to some degree, a story that many companies around the world know well. let's look at the markets around the world, this is wall street the night before, every day this year the s&p 500 has closed at a record high, when will

iwill insinuating i should move out of the disabled bay. i will hold up my badge.ar window, trying to get me to move on, but again, you show them the blue badge, and then they will walk off but no apologies for it. if you looked at me, you know, in my situation, it is a hidden disability. it is only when i get out of the car and they see me with a walking stick that people can see the visual side of it. what would be your thoughts about extending the blue badge scheme to people with autism or dementia, again, not always obviously visible? do you think it could lead to more confrontation? i think it would be a fantastic idea, especially with people with autism and stuff because of the condition they live with, being ina of the condition they live with, being in a crowded area, for a start, it can be a big issue for them. but if they are then into get —— then going to get into a confrontational situation, it could impact that person quite badly with that condition. i think it will be a big education for everyone really. i guess it is making sure people don't judge an

and iwill say that natan met in the summer of 1974 in moscow. he was introduced to me as a spokesman for the dissidents and the refuseniks, and i looked at him, and said, you are the spokesman? it was not exactly what i would call at that time -- he was 26 -- i got to myself this is going to be a formidable enterprise, but little did i know. was arrested, charged with treason, sent to the gulag for nine years. and when he came out and went to israel and joined his beloved colleaguent with my bob bernstein, who was here before. is he still here? he was then the chairman of random house and founder of human rights watch. bob and i went to israel and persuaded natan with a check to write his memoirs for us, his prison memoir, which we published. and i"fear no evil," think it is one of the great books of its kind, because it represents in so many ways one person's ability, one person's ability to take on a system as formidable as the soviet union was at the time. when natan was arrested, taken to prison, charged with treason, stripped naked, nobody

iwill give you one. it is really easy.ome were, did not know who some were, some of you have said that the president had not know them, he has played golf. it is pretty simple and pretty basic. ages of employees. super easy to fact check. i am of employees. super easy to fact check. iam not of employees. super easy to fact check. i am not going to waste my time, the country's time, going page by page, talking about this complete fa ntasyla nd by page, talking about this complete fa ntasyland tabloid gossip. by page, talking about this complete fantasyland tabloid gossip. sad. pathetic. the focus of the administration is moving the country forward. the bbc‘s anthony zurcher is watching it all unfold and he's with me now. the president's spokesperson said this is total fantasy. the president's spokesperson said this is totalfantasy. how the president's spokesperson said this is total fantasy. how seriously should we take this?” this is total fantasy. how seriously should we take this? i think we should we take this? i think

iwill let you know. i even dropped to —1a in the next hour or so. i will let you know.nd the world held protests on the first day of donald trump's presidency. they marked the start of a year in which issues like gender equality and sexual harrassment were faced head—on in every industry, from politics to hollywood. today women from 250 countries will mark the anniversary by marching again. one of the events will be a rally opposite downing street. let's speak now to shola mos—shog—bamimu, one of the organisers. talk through what is happening today. amazing things. we are gathering in solidarity to make sure we are calling for action to bring an end to a number of issues that continue to prevail in our society and are unacceptable. you mentioned the word time's up, that is the hash tag. we saw huge numbers in protest in america. you hoping to attract large numbers like that here in london? the reality is we can't predict the numbers that evident from the masses of people that came last year, there is a strong number of people in the country that resonate with the issues

iwill be com pletely small venues, i prefer. iwill be completely honest.ll connected together. in something like the arena it is so big and you don't have the space to connect. i feel like there is a sense of community at gigs and the bigger it gets, the more vast and anonymous it is. young kids going to these gigs are not going to be able to afford £50 for the larger venues, they need these venues. these are they need these venues. these are the venues that help them break out into play in, like, the bigger places i could poll arena.” into play in, like, the bigger places i could poll arena. i think it is important for artists to do live music, just because they get to meet people in person rather than listening to them online or whatever. it is good to see somebody in person rather than hearing them live. music writer and patron of the music venue trustjohn robb joins us now. are you concerned about venues having to be closed down?” are you concerned about venues having to be closed down? i think it isa having to be closed down? i think it is a really im

no, iwill tell you burst from our nearest lunar neighbour? in a marine theme park — mimicks words such as "hello" and can count to three. hello everyone — this is afternoon live. i'm simon mccoy. downing street has said it is prepared to release an economic assessment of brexit which was leaked earlier this week. the document looked at three scenarios, all suggesting brexit will leave britain worse off. ministers said they would not oppose a motion brought by labour for the details to be shown to mps and peers. mps are debating that motion in the house of commons right now. over to our assistant political editor at westminster, norman smith. it looks as if it will have to come out but it's been a difficult process. the brutal truth is you have to pick your battles in politics and the government decided this is one battle that was going to lose because all the signs were that the opposition mps were going to vote to have this report released, good number of tory remainders were shaping up to demand it was released and even some brexiteers were

gee, iwill not be about, really want a steering wheel, but it's going to be about how will this changeur lives? and at the same time, you're deliberate,d a very requirements-driven process for the regulatory and manufacturing and to ensure quality. what's the problem? from thisidea people side and the regulatory people from the other side of the room. what's the problem? these people hate each other. it's as simple as that. [laughter] the requirements people think the big idea people are babies, unrealistic, overpaid, dress funny. there's an endless number of things, but basically they shouldn't be trusted with any important jobs. suffice to say the big idea people think the requirements people drain the light force out of the room by showing up. [laughter] they don't even have to say a word. i put forth to you that we need to get both working together. it's starting to happen but not enough. there are still separate groups . visionary plan, but it's unrealistic and we can do it. retirement plan, but we will all be dead by the time the third draft of that requirements document is writt

iwill work up my stand up the routine.n to make changes to your own lifestyle on this and finally, drifting off topic, what do you make of the house of lords voting to muzzle the press. on the first point you made, yes i did obviously congratulate the daily mail, i think the daily mail has done a good job in alerting the publish to this issue. i think the blue planet serry has led teem to understand the impact of plastics. the daily mail has shown this is an important issue that they should ta ke important issue that they should take account of. today you were showing people the uses of plastics that couldn't be recycled and what people might do to change their behaviour. you asked about what i and philip are doing, we try to recycle as much as possible, i was discussing with officials about what plastics the can be recycled. we will be making sure we are recycling as much as possible. i'm proud we have put a barn owl box, bird boxes and bat box up in our garden and so we are trying to do our bit there as well. and as you

iwill ask to the shows, including those with hearing impairment.nts, concerts, theatre productions. you tell me they are very good at this in america but we are way behind in this country — why? three main factors, and the first is really a lack of deaf awareness. there are huge misunderstanding and misconceptions around the deaf community and british sign language needs. what is the biggest misconception? many people ask me why deaf people want to go toa people ask me why deaf people want to go to a music concert. they don't understand that, actually, deaf people can experience music on an equal footing to hearing people. deaf people can get goose bumps and crime. the interpreter is essentially a bridge between the music and the artist and the deaf person, so it is a connection so that the deaf person can essentially experience is exactly the same as a hearing person, but getting that across to the music industry is proving difficult. that makes sense, the way you describe that. would you agree with that, sally? once you have the dynamic interpret

umm, iwill not things that have happened to you in the past?he time in hospitality. it happens to a lot of my colleagues. can you give usa lot of my colleagues. can you give us a sense without going into details? well, it isjust things like inappropriate touching, advances, sexual advances, you know, real, you know, pushing... you know, sexual advances and inappropriate touching. propositions? yes. you are propositioned. it is a fairly normalised thing. what happens, you are employed, you do a job, you complain to an agency. you expect them to forward it on. have you had any feeling it has been dealt with? there is a lack of accountability. i have had situations with a lot of my colleagues complaining. nothing has happened because there is no real... there is no real democracy in the hospitality industry. there is no union president, there is no process which you can take. it is dominated by zero—hour contracts. that means if you do not want to appear like a troublemaker, you have to shut up otherwise you will not get the work. with this partic

iwill close on this note, would like to also point toward hollywood and music and the movies that theyake attribute a lot to this. unless black leadership, those who have positions of the mayor, congressmen, senators, whoever, address the socioeconomic ills, we will never correct the racial part of it. along socially and economically i would care less about the race. host: there are headlines this morning out of montgomery, alabama, an advertiser celebrating my mother can junior day, a caricature or drawing of dr. king with the quote that is famous, "i have a dream." also available on the front page. atlanta journal-constitution, story about dr. king's classmates recalling the young leader. and if you go to the pages of the st. louis post dispatch, his voice were sound, a picture from earlier on. a story about that in the st. louis paper this morning. dallas, texas, a discussion about racial tensions. hello. caller: thank you for taking my call. i think race relationships are at an all-time low. dr. king had a very good thing when he said, "i have a dream." but the people of the world,

iwill southern half of the country —— storm eleanor. i will have your full forecast at 6:15am.cial report on how the opening of the uk's first dedicated treatment centre for people with rare genetic conditions could change the lives of people like james. conditions could change the lives of people like james. over the last three orfour people like james. over the last three or four years we have noticed a huge difference from bandages to experimental treatments and research thatis experimental treatments and research that is going on. whether we streamed it, downloaded it or bought a cd, we consumed nearly 10% more music in 2017 than the year before. i'll have the details shorlty. in sport, manchester city are back to winning ways and are 15 points clear at the top of the table once again. they scored after just 39 seconds last night, comfortably beating watford. good morning. first, our main story. health chiefs in england have insisted there's no crisis in the nhs, despite their decision to extend the postponement of all non—urgent operations and routine outpatient appointmen

iwill say, mind your thought was, hell, i am still in the air! it was absolutely colossal. i haven't been hit that ha rd colossal. i haven't been hit that hard since my mum caught me swearing, as a kid! can you explain that more, it hits your whole body, presumably because you are in the kayak. does it hit the kayak first, and then, do you go a considerable distance under water when you hit the base? exactly. what you are aiming to do is like a hideout of the diving board, aiming to pace through the water and the accelerate slowly by going as you can. if you've done a belly flop you don't go deep in the water and it hurts. i impacted it at the best possible angle i could have and i was tucked up angle i could have and i was tucked up hard that it was still a massive impact. i was so winded at the bottom. the next parisse tasered felt like i'd been in a car crash and it hurt to turn my neck. but at the time i was so and relieved i thought it was great. with extreme sports, i'm glad everything worked and you have the record. yet presumably in the p

i will take iwill take up i will take up that last point. they have told us then? quite a lot of fixes are available already. that is why they have waited to tell us. if you use a windows computer or a mac computer, the fixes are available. they may have been installed already. you should check and see if there are any update on your laptops. what has happened? tell me what you can rather than what others might benefit from. the detail is quite subtle and it is definitely a complicated enough problem. there are weeks and months ahead of really thinking about what this might mean for us in the coming yea rs. this might mean for us in the coming years. because the problem is in the microchips themselves, we can'tjust change some software and the problem goes away. the reality is that all over the world it companies are changing their software now to really just plug some changing their software now to reallyjust plug some of the gaps in the damn, if you like, rather than fix the problem. these chips are pretty much in everything, aren't they?

give me, iwill callthem. hello. one minute and they will come here. thanks, mohamed. hi, tony.od to meet you. looking forward to seeing your place. yes, my place. how many countries have you visited before ? i have visited 124 countries. oh, my god, yes, nice. you are like ali baba. i like to travel. have you done much travelling? no, just here. it is not easy to move or to travel in another country. so you get travellers to come to you. yes. you have steps here. this is actually couchsurfing, so in theory, you stay for free. you have steps, 5. you live in a castle. yes. you find people on it, they have profiles. and if they want to meet travellers or want to travel,

yes, iwill urgent question in the commons today.f david mellor as a nonexecutive director. -- david mellor. but also, questions to be asked about ministers from the department for education, the financial times have claimed were invited to the event, it has been admitted that one has attended. the number of prosecutions in england and wales that collapse because of a failure by police or prosecutors to disclose evidence increased by 70% in the last two years. last year, 916 people had charges dropped over a failure to disclose evidence, up from 537 in the year before. recent collapsed cases have highlighted a failure to share evidence with defence solicitors. i'm joined by the barrister and former conservative mp. jerry hayes, who was the prosecutor in the case of liam allan, who faced 12 counts of rape and sexual assault before new evidence came to light and the case was dropped. remind us what happened, you were the prosecution, you blew the whole thing! absolutely, we hadjust started the case, the defence counsel said, have we a
