back at the royal society of arts, i finally got my robotic heart to beat a bit faster. personally, but our collective lifestyles have been affecting the world that we live in. it's one thing to talk about climate change and its effects on the environment, but it's another thing to actually see it in action. this is a simulation of the c02 that was in the atmosphere in 2006. the redder bits are the most c02 heavy. what's really interesting is, have a look at the difference between the north and the south. just look how much c02 is covering china and the united states. if, indeed, that's what i'm looking at, because you really can't see it under all the c02. this work was created by the uk's met office and the natural environment research council. the scientists mashed up historical weather data with information coming from all sorts of modern sensors, including things like air—traffic data, to try and predict the world's climate in the future. they're wanting to see how all different components that affect the climate — the oceans, the atmosphere, the land and ice — how

welcome to the royal society of arts, in london, which this week was hosting its annual summer scienceeek only, universities from around the country gather here to bring their cutting—edge science experiment out of the lab and into the public‘s imagination. oh, you see, it's great being a kid! in another room, i got to feel the difference between a healthy heart and one suffering from cardiomyopathy. the robotic heart's beating in sync with my own heartbeat, which is being detected by the monitors on my wrists. you feel this one‘s beating quite regularly. this one is... it's beating faster and it's beating weaker. so if my heart was diseased, it would feel more like this one. which is a good incentive not to get one of these! oh, and by the way, if you were wondering who the next doctor who is going to be... two hearts. right, time to get them beating a bit faster. whether you love or loathe a trip to the shops, retail is changing, but there's more to it than people just shopping online instead. can i just see what colours there are downloaded? here's an idea that takes shopping online

it have a walk down here and chat to russell foster, a fellow of the royal society. so getting that information out to the broader public. and really we want people to come here. tonight, for example, we don't close until 9pm, we are open until 6pm at the weekend, so please come and see this extraordinary science going on here. thank you very much indeed, let's have a look at this extraordinary science. what are you doing here? we are demonstrating one of the techniques which is part of the npl grand challenge, a surgical technique for detecting cancer. so this allows people to detect cancerous tissue as opposed to other tissue. yes, allowing better outcomes for surgery, so we have a la pa rosco py outcomes for surgery, so we have a laparoscopy tool here, demonstrating what surgery is like for people. and you are from the national physical laboratory. why is this important? so we are developing a google earth la ke so we are developing a google earth lake view of the tumour, so we can map from the organ scale, right down to an individual sell, so we can make better di

a review carried out by matthew taylor from the royal society of arts.ng at what is happening inside this gig economy, people self—employed, but working for lots of different companies. there have been legal challenges, whether they should be getting benefits. really topical, first of all because the gig economy is growing at such an explosive rate. more than one million people employed this way. companies like uber. some people are able to exploit loopholes. it sits some people. timothy page tax, which suits some of the companies. different people, different categories of people within this type of workforce. what you don't wa nt type of workforce. what you don't want is the people in effect exploited, the 1's labour talks about on zero—hour contracts. people on zero others contracts he wants to them, other people would rather have security of employment. the detailed report will be quite important, getting it right will again be difficult for the reasons you alluded to. there is a need to try and protect some people from exploitation in the workplace.

i have someone with me from the royal pharmaceutical society. what is your reaction?” pharmaceutical society. what is your reaction? i am pleased to see the change of heart but it is good this has opened up a debate about access to the morning after pill and access for women to have took control over their fertility and sexual and reproductive health. they seem to be saying that women would be irresponsible. that cannot be the case because pharmacists have to ask a set number of questions so if women are trying to regularly use the morning after pill they are not allowed to have it. what is the position across the country on access to the pill and to the consultation? you can get it for free? you can in some places. it is a postcode lottery. some pharmacies will be able to provide under certain restrictions the morning after pill and in other areas that will be a set number of pharmacies, so will be a set number of pharmacies, so that is difficult because it means access is so that is difficult because it means access is not so that is difficult because it means access

she is an elected member of the royal society of canada. here's a sampling of the phrase for her and her book. in a review, library journal says, she presents a new neuroscientific explanation of why people are more swayed by feelings than fax. she offers an intuitive theory echoes against out on the popular understanding but also that of traditional research. emotions don't arise, rather, we construct them on the fly. furthermore, emotions are neither universal nor located in specific brain regions. they vary by culture and result from dynamic neuronal networks. "scientific american" calls the book remarkable for its freshness of its ideas and the "wall street journal" calls it fascinating. in another star review, booklist says quote that secretive selfie of the brain is brilliant. please help me welcome lisa feldman barrett.

the review was led by matthew taylor, chief executive of the royal society of the arts and former adviser in what's known as the gig economy should receive new legal protections, and their employers should make national insurance contributions. and that strategies must be put in place to make sure that workers do not get stuck on the national living wage. mr taylor said flexibility in the labour market was a good thing, but that exploitation had to be tackled. 0ne—sided flexibility is where employers seek to transfer all risk onto the shoulder of workers in ways that make people more insecure and makes their lives harder to manage. it's the people told to be ready for work, or travelling to work, only to be told none is available. it's the people who spent years working for a company on zero hours contracts, but who, without the guarantee of hours from week to week, can't get a mortgage or a loan. it's the people who feel if they ever raise legitimate concerns about their treatment, they will simply be denied the hours they so desperately need. theresa may welcomed recommendations that wo

let me show you this tweet from paul rose, from the royal geographical society.ling us plastic pollution risks near permanent position of our natural environment. that is a response to a us report today estimating that since the 1950s human beings are produced more than 8 billion tonnes of plastic. any number of ways we could try to illustrate how much thatis could try to illustrate how much that is but it is enough to cover argentina. an awful lot. one of the multiple problems were told us plastic is that for one we to use a lot of it only once and throw it away. what can individuals do send response? this is a plastics specialist. the individual consumer can take our own coffee cups, we can bring our own bags to the supermarket. we can shop in places that provide the products in accordance with our values. if we don't want a lot of wallet. i eff—f £777 is we are seeing, but there are smet is we are seeing, but there are many things that each and everyone of us do, and that is a real difference with the plastic pollution problem. it is a solvable, tractable prob

caroline: that was theresa may speaking today at the royal society.loomberg's managing editor or brexit is with us, and joining us is michael purvis for weeden. you are with us from new york. let me get your point of view first. when we talking about political posturing, the markets, i'm looking at my bloomberg, looking at the outperforming currency, which is the british pound, but i feel it is moving more on what we may see out of the bank of england. >> i would agree with that. i think the monetary policy story in the u.k. has become interesting. we have had a number of bank of england speakers pointing to the possibility of an interest rate hike. markets are believing them more than we --they were earlier in the year. there's also a sense of financial markets that there is an opening to a softer brexit eventually. that is probably somewhat supportive of the pound overall despite the fact that the economy is actually showing mixed developments. caroline: certainly, consumer sentiment on the downhill. do you believe politics plays into all this? mayb

possession and use should not be the subject of any criminal penalties at all, and that is also the royal societyth organisation, and the government's own advisers. they have called for non—criminal sanctions for possession offences. this report welcomes —— claims to have an evidence—based policy approach, but the acm di's recommendations on something like decriminalisation are ignored. in fact they are swept aside. they say we are not going to the granada strikes because they are bad for you. so there are recommendations by the government's own advisers on issues like supervise consumption facilities and heroine are describing, that are ignored or marginalised. so this is a politically motivated and terribly disappointing new approach, not an evidence—based one. it is the same as the last strategy, which has failed. we do have this crisis of opiate related overdoses, which have doubled but nothing has changed. thank you very much. we're taking you to paris, where they bastille day celebrations are coming to an end. you can see temp —— president macron, and president trumpjust end. you can see te

that speak to kieran in southampton from the royal pharmaceutical society. ish the course. what do you think? thank you for inviting me on this morning. i‘m representing the royal pharmaceutical society and we do welcome this opening up the debate into the correct course line for antibiotics. alexander fleming did notice the risk of resistance being selected if courses were stopped to briefly. we have since learned that we can reduce the courses that we currently prescribed probably to a short typical duration and we welcome this opening of the debate, as i‘ve said. however, the message from the society is consistent with the chief medical 0fficer. at the moment, we recommend patients continued to take their antibiotics exactly as prescribed by the doctor, but that doctors and patients should be mindful that research is likely to emerge in coming years that recommend shorter treatment courses and that they should not be concerned that those shorter treatment courses will resort the macro result in increased resistance. the mantra is you have to finish the cou

the government has asked matthew taylor, the head of the royal society of arts and a former adviser to she is with us this morning. all of the clea ners with us this morning. all of the cleaners who work for you are technically employees so you pay them a little more. is a more difficult to compete with other countries are companies that don't. i began this business four years ago and when i began i felt quite strongly that all of my should be employed. i think if you go to work every day you need to make sure that you are protected and you have employment rights, the right to thick pay and holiday pay but also that you have the race to make right to grievance and hills and safety training. it was important to me that all of those factors were part of their working life. u nfortu nately, of their working life. unfortunately, what it means, particularly in the domestic side of the business, there is a huge black market economy where there are many cash transactions, workers going into people's homes on recommendation. we are also up against the new gig economy, digital platforms that li

she asked matthew taylor, the head of the royal society of arts, to look at this issue.mum wage and rights to sickness benefit and holiday pay, for example. that has been the controversy, that people who work in this very flexible way, delivering food and driving taxis, seem to have to sacrifice the benefits we get as full—time employees for working flexibly. i think mr taylor will suggest that that should be changed. thank you for that. firefighters have been tackling a blaze overnight at london's popular camden lock market, which attracts 28 million visitors a year. 70 firefighters were sent to the scene after the fire broke out at around midnight. london fire brigade says the situation is now under control but the cause remains unknown. there are no reports of any casualties. wildfires are raging across the us state of california as a record—breaking heatwave sends temperatures above 40 degrees celsius in many areas. more than 2,000 firefighters are attempting to contain nearly 20 large blazes which have forced hundreds of people to evacuate their homes. officials are

the royal college of nurses are seeing their staff have low morale because of low pay and not being valued and this is being echoed by the societyfor example, the health foundation recently put out a report suggesting that brexit has dented the confidence of eu staff working in the nhs, and the number of nurses and midwives registering to work from the eu may have dropped. the nursing and midwifery council say they have brought in tougher english language tests for nurses coming from the eu, so there are so many reasons nurses coming from the eu, so there are so many reasons behind this. but it is worth saying that more than 1 million people work across the nhs in england, so we have to put that 86,000 over that quarter from january to march this year and the context, the department for health is saying that since 2010 thousands more doctors, 11,000 doctors and 12,000 nurses have been brought in, and they say staffing is indeed a priority. good to have that context, thank you. housebuilders may be banned from selling new houses in england as leasehold, under new government proposals. a public consultation has begun on the issue,

royal arms of the king of england. we also have objects that introduce you to british heroes. so the upper right, a tavern sign, and this is on loan to us from the connecticut historical society, a wonderful historical society with amazing collections that generally placed this on loan to the museum. you see general wolfe. this was a british general who died after being mortally wounded at the battle of question back in 1779, helped to capture french canada for the british empire. and he was elbratcelebrated by americans. it was held by israel putnam, famous as a general in the american revolutionary war, part of the battle of bunker hill. the second part of the gallery we titled the price of victory. more empire, more problems. so after the british victory and the seven years' war with this vastly expanded empire, particularly in north america, britain faced this challenge. of course everyone is excited about having this larger empire but there are now tens of thousands of new subjects. and so the objects in here and the media piece really pull that story apart. so for native people, for instance, in 1763, they're the first group of people to sort of rise up and push back aga
