World cup suffer a blow as they slump to a shock defeat against sri lanka at headingley. Life now gets much harderfor the hosts. Good morning. All quiet on the weather front, at least for today. Stormy days ahead and for some of us, hotter days. The full weekend forecast is on its way. Its saturday the june 22nd. Our top story. Borisjohnson is in the headlines once again this morning, this time over reports that police were called to his home in the early hours of friday morning because of a domestic disturbance. Mrjohnson and jeremy hunt are due to address Party Members in birmingham later today as part of their leadership bids. Our Political Correspondent Helena Wilkinson is in our london newsroom. Helena, what more do we know . We know police were called to his address. Just take us through what is known. We know this happened in the early hours of yesterday morning. This is a flat that mr johnson shows with his partner, carrie symons, and it follows reports from a neighbour who said they heard a loud argument. In the Guardian Newspaper, they say they have spoken to a neighbour who took a recording of the argument from inside there are flat and important to stress that we havent actually heard the recording ourselves but its reported in that recording that his partner says she could be heard telling mrjohnson to get off me and get out of my flat. Its also reported she told him he ruined a sofa with red wine and she goes on to say, you just dont care for anything because youre spoiled, you have no care for money or anything, and this neighbour tells the Guardian Newspaper she heard a woman screaming followed by slamming and hanging. We have had a statement from the metropolitan police who confirmed they went to a flat in the early hours of friday morning, responding to reports from a caller who is concerned for the welfare of a female neighbour and police attended and they spoke to the documents occupants and they were all safe and well. There were no concerns apparent to the officers. We asked borisjohnsons spokesperson for a statement and they said no comment, significantly thatis they said no comment, significantly that is not a denial but this story of course is all over many of the front pages today, headlines really that Doris Johnson front pages today, headlines really that dorisjohnson would want to do without. Today, an important day in the next step of who would be conservative party leader and prime minister. An important step. Today is the first of 16 hustings. These are debates where both of the candidates are going to face the people who are going to eventually voting for who is the leader. The members of the conservative party, they are going to have about 45 minutes each in front of them and then members of the membership are going to ask questions and put those questions to both of the candidates. But this morning, jeremy hunt is called on Boris Johnson but this morning, jeremy hunt is called on borisjohnson to take part in more Television Debates more often and sooner. The point im making is it makes an absolute mockery of this leadership contest for the conservative party if people will actually have started voting before they have a chance to see the two protagonists on tv. This process , two protagonists on tv. This process, the hustings, are going to ta ke process, the hustings, are going to take those across the country and will go on for a month so if you think weve seen a lot of the two candidates already, we will see a lot more of them in the next three weeks. Thank you. Hundreds of events are being held today to mark the First National windrush day more than 70 years since hundreds of caribbean migrants sailed over to help rebuild post war britain. The government made the announcement last year after it emerged some of the Windrush Generation and theirfamilies had been wrongly accused of living in the uk illegally. Today its been announced that a windrush memorial will be built at londons waterloo station. Churches could become safe spaces for children at risk of becoming victims of knife crime under plans to be discussed at next months general synod. A priest from south london wants parishes in Serious Violence hotspots to open their doors to Vulnerable Children during the period immediately after school and to provide knife amnesty bins. Charlotte gallagher has more. The tragic toll of knife crime in the uk. More than 100 people have been stabbed to death so far this year. Many, just teenagers. Scenes like this all too familiar. Now a london vicar says the church of england needs to do more to help children at risk of being attacked. Canon rosemary mallett, who is a vicar in brixton, says churches should open the door to pupils after school is finished, providing a place where they can relax and importantly feel safe. She is also suggested place facing knife amnesty things in churches to encourage more people to hand in their weapons. The proposal will be discussed by Church Leaders at next month s general synod and is knife crime continues to rise, more families grieve their loved ones. Canon mallett hopes her plan will save lives. Charlotte gallagher, bbc news. Schools should teach children about the dangers ofjumping into cold water thats according to the local government association. The number of young people who drowned accidentally in the uk went up by almost a quarter last year 31 died and the lga says lessons on water safety could save lives, as even strong swimmers can suffer from cold water shock. The uks self employed workers need measures to protect them from the impact of being paid late by some biggerfirms. Thats according to the organisation that represents them. It says the problem has been increasing, and that freelancers are particularly vulnerable. Heres our Business Correspondent katy austin. When london based, james does work for businesses, he asks for payment within a month. When that comes late, it has a big impact as he will already have paid for parts. late, it has a big impact as he will already have paid for parts. If i paid on the 15th and you are not pay me straight after and using my own personal money and money have had to put aside for and bills. The group which represents self employed and freelance workers says two thirds have had trouble with late payments across all sorts of industries. Late payment in real terms means empty bank accounts. It means going into debt sometimes, it means you cant meet those essential expense payments such as your mortgage or rent payments and this can cause pretty serious blooms around stress, anxiety, depression and it can even cause problems within personal relationships. The government said this week that while the majority of businesses pay their bills on time, its looking at new measures to make sure that always happens. These include possibly giving the Small Business commissioner powers to find Large Businesses or introduce binding payment lands, making Company Boards more accountable for payment practices to Small Businesses and a new fund to encourage small firms to use technology which it says could reduce the time spent chasing payments. Labour has said the proposals dont go far enough but james welcomes any action that will protect businesses like his, as does ipse, although it says the government must follow through on its promises and ultimately some larger business businesses must change late payment culture. Katie austin, bbc news. Almost half of packaging used by supermarkets in the uk cant be easily recycled or recycled at all, according to new research. The Consumer Group which . Says a lot of material used to keep food fresh is unnecessary and more Sustainable Materials should be used. The British Retail Consortium say retailers are working hard to ensure all Plastic Packaging is reusable, recyclable or compostable. It says more Sustainable Materials should be used. It is clear that there is more supermarkets should be doing to make sure their product labelling is easily to understand for consumers and wherever possible, supermarkets should also do away with unnecessary packaging. The government should invest in better recycling infrastructure and across the board we would like to see better, more effective information for consumers so we can better, more effective information for consumers so we can make the right choices. Is it able to be made into compost . I think that is right. There are some words that are right. Nine minutes past six. Eltonjohn is elton john is here eltonjohn is here with the french president Emanuel Wright got the french president , receiving the legion dhonneurfor his french president , receiving the legion dhonneur for his work in the fight against age the fight against aids and his music. Do we have to pronounce it very french, the legion dhonneur . As long as we know. There is one story dominating the front pages. Reports police have been called to the london home of borisjohnson. A neighbour heard a loud argument. The police said there was no cause for police action. A spokesman for mrjohnson has said no comment. Lets see whats on some of the inside pages. I tell you, one of the stories, this is worth spending a bit of time on. The story on the times. This story. You know every once in awhile, people say their dream jobs, fly out to an island, there no one there. This is a teaching job. We are in the remote North West Highlands and there is a teaching post its fallen vacant. Three times in the past five yea rs, vacant. Three times in the past five years, a tiny school, there are five primary and five nursery pupils. Doesnt say much about the job people keep living it. 40 crofts strong across a sinuous peninsular and teacher salaries range between 26 and 40,000. A number of applications have been put in for the post apparently. The place itself, if you want to description of it, there is no hotel or cafe, there is not a church nor a shop. There really isnt much there. People go with the dream and on the face of it, you think, wow. Perfect. Its a job that you can do longer for a couple of years. How are you temper wise when you play sport . |j am temper wise when you play sport . am very measured and very calm. That was a bit of a moment. You see temper tantrums in various sports. Golf and football. Now the world of bowls has entered the sports or the same because tempers have become so frayed in lawn bowls, there has been an investigation, possible bands, recent incidents involving umpires and organisers. 0rganisers have sent to land sent a letter to all the clu bs. To land sent a letter to all the clubs. There is something about the juxtaposition of the calmness, the temper tantrums. And all that business about the tennis player, nick curiosity. Nick kyrgios. Even by his standards, he went over the top. Its the first ever windrush day today, marking 71 years since hundreds of caribbean migrants sailed here on the empire windrush to help rebuild post war britain. One of the last living passengers is alford gardner, whos now 93. Adina campbell has been to meet the former raf serviceman at a family get together in west yorkshire. I was one of lucky ones. Thats why im still here. There are four generations of alford gardners family eight children, 16 grandchildren, and more than 20 great grandchildren. I lived injamaica a long time ago. I dont know about you lot, but as a little boy, i was bright. And i knew it. Laughter. At the time, there was no work, especially in my field. Where did you hear about the ship and when did you go . My sister heard about it and sent me the news. So within days after hearing about it, my brother was off to book his ticket. I didnt have any money, so i had to ask my dad and he gave me the money. What happened on the ship . We had no problem. We had a bright happy ship. Not much to do. Just enjoy it. About three days out of england, we were told sleep as best as you can because its cold. We had a very good time. Very good time. But this wasnt his first time in the uk. He joined the raf at the age of 18 and served in the second world war. What was your first meal . Lamb chops and they were right little. My very, very first night, i had a problem. We had dinner, and there were some little bits of bone there, so i took a bit of the bone and by the time i sat down, they were onto me. I had stolen two young mens ration are you used to the cold yet, granddad . You never get used to it how old are you . My brother said im three. Youre three . Iam 93. Wow. 90 years more than you you wouldnt put him at 93, would you . Heres nick with a look at this mornings weather. It is warming up, im feeling so good about this weekend coming up. It is warming up, there are some storms in the forecast as well. If you dont like proper heat and humidity you may be happy with what is on offer today, because temperatures are just peaking in the low 20s, which is my perfect comfort zone, if you like, and there will be plenty of sunshine around to come. All because High Pressure is influencing the weather at the moment, so it will be settled. We have plenty of sunshine around from the word go for most of us. Cloud around parts of eastern england, northern scotland. Especially into this afternoon. For most of us it is plenty of sunshine, a fine day to come. Actually start in places but things warming up. A few spots in england in one getting to 22 degrees. If you are heading out, it stays fine. 20 of sunshine until sunset. A bit of patchy cloud overnight, one or two showers affecting northern scotland, increasing cloud down towards the south west of england. Not quite as chilly overnight and into tomorrow. Tomorrow starts promising, but it wont stay that way for all of us. Low pressure and these weather fronts are getting closer. High pressure moving away north eastward. A stronger breeze coming in from the south east tomorrow, and although there will be a lot of sunshine to start the day, increasing cloud, breezes as i mentioned, and outbreaks of rain. Far south west of england in south west wales, pushing into the south of england. It doesnt make too much progress eastwards, but it may start to turn thundery. Down towards South West England, 24 or 25 degrees. Yellow warnings from the met office for thunderstorms. Particularly in parts of east england and, there will be a big variety in rainfall totals as it moves its way northwards. The potential for problems, moves its way northwards. The potentialfor problems, pushing into scotland. It could be over 100 millimetres, maybe 25 50 millimetres of rain, all of which could cause some problems with potential flooding or lightning strikes. Some rough weather for flooding or lightning strikes. Some rough weatherfor some flooding or lightning strikes. Some rough weather for some of us, going sunday night into monday. Quite a stormy start to next week but there will be some warm or even hot sunshine in places, and some spots in the south 30 or 31 degrees is possible. Not everybody will see temperatures of that high, it will feel very humid. Now on breakfast its time for the film review with ben brown and mark kermode. Hello and welcome to the film review on bbc news. To take us through this weeks cinema releases is mark kermode. So mark, what do we have this week . We have brightburn, which is a horror movie meets superhero, we have toy story 4, a trilogy no more, and the flood, a moving drama about the refugee crisis. Something for all the family. Brightburn is like a dark superman. Its a very strange film, its produced byjames gunn who made guardians of the galaxy. A couple are trying for a baby when an asteroid lands outside their home in kansas. Several years later, they have an adopted son who they love very much and is hitting adolescents and starting to act up like all teenagers, but meanwhile there are a series of increasingly weird and violent events playing out around this small town. Heres a clip. Come on stupid piece of. 0k, time to go. Nope . No out of here stop you saw all the references to superman, the kids initials, everyone thinks of clark kent. There are lots of individual elements which remind you of the superman story, its like man of steel but with a darker twist. There are also influences like carrie, a young girl with telekinetic powers. It also reminded me of an old episode of the Twilight Zone called its a good life where a community are in fear of a child in control of everything, but what is impressive is how well and how long it managed to sustain just being a drama about two parents who desperately want a son and now they have one, but there is a secret in his past. Elizabeth banks is terrific as the mother who just wants to look after her son and wants to protect him despite the fact that she knows hes not like other children. Its not for everybody, a couple of people came out of it saying, i didnt get that at all, but i liked the way it played with the superman mythology. Im not a big comic book fan, but i knew enough to understand where it was going and i thought it was strange and quirky and there were moments in it that were quite nasty and moments that were quite funny. Id also say if you are really interested in a sideways glance at superman mythology, remember the old film punch drunk love . That is an allegory of superman as well so brightburn makes a good double bill with it. Its an intriguing idea, to turn the superman story on its head. One of the tag lines is, hes not here to save the world, and i like that. What if an adolescent had powers and what if it wasnt working out well . I like the fact it has horror elements, it has a superhero elements, but it also feels satirical and like its unpicking something with which we are all familiar and making it scary and challenging. Sounds intriguing. The latest toy story, number four. My problem in advance was that the original trilogy were perfect and the end of the third one is like the end of winnie the pooh when Christopher Robin says goodbye. A trilogy is never enough for hollywood suddenly toy story 4 and i thought, really . I went in with a heavy heart and thought we were retreading a certain amount of ground. The child goes to kindergarten and the toys are left in the cupboard but things pick up when the young child makes a new friend, literally makes a toy out of a spork and pipe cleaners which then becomes animated but thinks it is trash and there is an existential question, is it a toy or trash . Then we meet up with an old acquaintance and suddenly the drama goes off into a whole different area and suddenly it found its feet again. I think whats interesting about toy story 4, nobody was more trepidatious about it than me, was once it got going it had me laughing and crying like the first three but also of all the toy story films, this is the one thats actually about the toys. The toy story mythology is about children and parents and separation anxiety. This sounds pretentious, but it was closer to the kind of concerns of Steven Spielbergs ai in which the robot child wonders whether or not it is a real boy, the pinocchio story. I thought it was original and unexpected, there were a good 20 minutes at the beginning when i thought it was retreading old ground but once it got going, i was back there and pixar cast their spell again. Its really funny and very moving and i laughed and i cried. I admit by the end, we did need another one. I really thought we didnt. I was wrong to be trepidatious. I dont think ive used that word before ive probably made it up if you have, it is now in the dictionary. The flood is about an immigration officer who gets a high profile asylum case. This is a topical story with refugees and asylum seekers. Lena headey is an immigration officer who has a reputation for being hard nosed, shes heard lots and lots of stories but she is unmoved by them and what her superiors like about her is she is not sentimental, she is basically the person who will deal with things in an unemotional and rather callous way. Heres a clip. If you passed through any other countries prior to your arrival, why did you not apply for asylum there . I dont know. When did you arrive in europe . I dont know. It was dark. Let me help you out. Where did you arrive in europe . Greece. She seems to be very cold and then what happens is she gets presented with a case and she starts doing the same thing with him, she is told to process it quickly, but she starts to hear his story and then we start to see his story of his journey and the trauma of his journey in flashback and we start to learn things about her that she has troubles in her own life, that shes getting divorced, is separated from her child and has a drinking problem. She starts to see the story from the other side, she starts to feel empathy because up until this point she has been trying to avoid it. It reminded me of a film from 1990 called journey of hope. The subject matter is kind of different but the aim of the story was to make you see what the journey looks like from the other side and i think this actually manages to do that, occasionally the drama is a little too on the nose and contrived with how itjuggles its mirroring situations, but i found myself very gripped by the performances, they are terrific and its got a lot of heart and its made with real commitment. I think its also very technically well made, the way in which the music is used to distinguish flashbacks from stuff we are seeing in the present day, the way you can feel the two worlds are seeping into each other, i thought it was very intriguing and very moving. It reminds me of up in the air with George Clooney where he flies around the United States sacking people and suddenly starts to feel empathy for the people he is a sacking. Best out at the moment . Dirty god. I know it is playing in a small number of cinemas but its a terrific movie about a woman who survived an acid attack and rebuild her life and it has a star making performance by vicki knight. In ten years time, vicki knight will be part of the furniture as far as acting is concerned. We will all know she is a very versatile actor. This is where it began. She is astonishing, she is a real star in the making. You heard it here first. Best dvd . The kid who would be king. It reminded me of a childrens Film Foundation movie which we used to get in the 19705, but with harry potter special effects. A modern day kid finds king arthurs sword. He has to get his enemies and bullies to reunite. I thought it was really enjoyable. It didnt do well in the cinema, i think it should have done better and i hope it will find a dvd audience. Its really charming and its message is, you know, weve all got to just pull together and Work Together and the young people are the future and we have faith in them. Its wonderful, its a film with its heart is really in the right place. Not a bad message to end on mark, thank you very much indeed. Thats it for this week. Thank you for watching. Forehead sick hello, this is breakfast with Charlie Stayt and naga munchetty. Good morning, heres a summary of todays main stories from bbc news. Police were called to the home of borisjohnson after a police were called to the home of Boris Johnson after a neighbour reportedly heard a noisy row. The Guardian Newspaper says a neighbour recorded some of the alleged argument. In which the partner carried something, saying get off me. The metropolitan police has no offences have been committed.

Some of the families have been wrongly accused of living in the uk illegally and today its been announced that a windrush memorial would be attached to londons waterloo station. A priest in london is look suggests that churches should provide an after School Century for Vulnerable Children and knife amnesty things. The church of england will discuss the proposal next month. Schools should teach children about the dangers of jumping into should teach children about the dangers ofjumping into cold water. This according to the local government association. The number of people who drowned went up a quarter last year. 31 died. The lga says lessons on water safety could save lives is even strong women swimmers can suffer from shock. The uks self employed workers need protection from being paid late by biggerfirms. The protection from being paid late by bigger firms. The organisation says the problem has been increasing and freelancers in particular are vulnerable. Almost half of packaging used by supermarkets in the uk cant be easily recycled or even recycled at all, with Consumer Groups saying at all, with Consumer Groups saying a lot of material is unnecessary. The British Retail Consortium says retailers are working hard to ensure all stick packaging is reusable. More sustainable and clearer labelling should be used. It is clear there is more supermarkets should be doing to make sure their recycling labelling is easy to understand for consumers and wherever possible, supermarkets should also do away with unnecessary packaging. The government should invest in better recycling infrastructure and across the board, we would like to see better, more effective information for consumers so we can effective information for consumers so we can make the right choices. Eltonjohn has so we can make the right choices. Elton john has been so we can make the right choices. Eltonjohn has been rewarded the legion dhonneur by the president of france. He was praised by the president for his contribution to work music and his efforts to fight aids. Mike, you will enjoy the story. He is the oldest person to cycle from lands and tojohn 0groats. Its mavis patterson. She set off on her record attempt. Taken up set off on her record attempt. Taken up the challenge. In memory of her three grown up children who have died. Real tragedy that spurred her on. The final 20 miles. We are talking to her. I looked it up on its 15,000 metres climbing. She is effectively riding the tour de france. The mind boggles. She has some physical issues but she says being on the bike has helped. The power of sport and exercise. Cant wait to hear from power of sport and exercise. Cant wait to hearfrom her later. Power of sport and exercise. Cant wait to hear from her later. We need some good news because when it comes to the cricket. I thought we were fine. So did all the commentators. Jimmy anderson said england should make light work of this total. Sri lanka, the term used was strangled. They just couldnt get lanka, the term used was strangled. Theyjust couldnt get the runs. It leaves a bit of a sticky patch now. Still three games to go in this group phase. The top four at the end of this group phase goes into the semifinals. England effectively need two more wins. The problem is, the la st two more wins. The problem is, the last three games in a group stage, australia, new zealand and india, none of which theyve beaten the world cup since 1992. They got a lot to do. A big surprise. Andy swiss was watching. Sunny skies, an in form england, against a struggling sri lankan team. What could possibly go wrong . Well, not much at first, as englands bowlers seemingly set them on course for victory. It all seemed so easy. 0ut, good catch. The catches stuck, the wickets tumbled, and sri lankas total of 232 seemed substandard. But sri lanka have lasith malinga, the slinger as hes known, and he slung his side back into contention. His remarkable action cutting through the england batting. Huge shout, the finger goes up by the time jofra archer became the ninth man out, england still needed nearly 50 runs. It seemed all over. But then a late twist. Ben stokes with a barrage of sixes. Single handedly he clobbered england in sight of their target. Withjust 21 runs needed, though, mark wood edged. What a win for sri lanka and sri lanka erupted. The shock of the world cup so far. England can still make the semifinals but theirjourney may have just got a whole lot harder. Andy swiss, bbc news. You look at the basics of a run chase, partnerships are very important. We struggle to get enough partnerships going. There are individual ending individual innings but thats not enough to win a game. We get eaten, we tend to come quite strong. We tend to resort to being aggressive, smart, so we hope thats the case on tuesday. Englands women have taken a 1 0 lead in their twenty20 series against the west indies. Batting first, england set their opponents 181 to win. And the west indies fell 42 runs short, ending on 138 9. Its a 14th win in a row for the england women, a new record. The third and final t20 is on tuesday. Hayley turner has become only the second female jockey ever to win at royal ascot and the first in 32 years. She won the sandringham stakes, on thanks be, ahead of the queens horse, magnetic charm which was beaten into second. Shes the first female, winning jockey, since gay kelleway, in 1987. Her celebrations were muted, a little though, as she was given a a nine day ban for using her whip too much. Meanwhile, Frankie Dettori continued his impressive few days at ascot with his seventh winner of the meeting. He was on board advertise, which won the commonwealth cup. Andy murrays second match since his comeback, was suspended due to fading light at the queens club. Murray and feliciano lopez, won the first set against dan evans and ken skupski, but the players had to leave the court, just before nine, with evans and skupski 5 4 ahead in the second set. The match will continue today after the singles semi finals. Theres live coverage from queens on bbc one from one oclock. Its the start of the knock out stage, at the womens world cup in france. Germany face nigeria this afternoon, and later in the evening norway play australia. Then tomorrow, england face cameroon, in valenciennes. The lionesses won all three of their games in the group stages. Much of the discussion over the last week, though, was around var, after scotlands dramatic exit, when argentina retook a penalty, after scotland goalkeeper Lee Alexander stepped off her line. England manager phil neville, says its not var thats to blame. What weve been told will happen if the ball is not on the line, its going to be retaken or a penalty would be given so actually the referee in va has actually worked. The bigger discussion is whether that rule needs to be implemented in the first place. That is the major issue, not the fact that the referee issue, not the fact that the referee is doing hisjob or herjob or the vey va only doing ourjob as well so vey va only doing ourjob as well so ive got to say, i think va are as good for the game. Its all gone horribly wrong for englands promising under 21 team. Remember, some of these players were World Champions at under 17 level. And had high hopes, but a crazy six goals towards the end in italy last night meant they lost 4 2 to romania, and so theyre out of the european championships, with a game still to play. Two goals late on from Florinel Coman sealing victory. Ijust i just dont usually see you being so i just dont usually see you being so outraged. What is phil neville saying . The jumping rule so outraged. What is phil neville saying . Thejumping rule on the line shouldnt matter . I must admit, i couldnt hear. Can you explain . He was basically saying, in that instance, you cant blame the technology. Its up to the rules being enforced. I will listen more carefully next time. Its one of those mornings this morning. Hosts egypt made the ideal start by beating zimbabwe in the opening game in cairo. Two men produced to be in january . Mercedes hope to continue their dominance in france today ahead of tomorrows grand prix. Valteri bottas was quickest in the second practice session, with lewis hamiltonjust behind him. The british World Champion had been fastest in first practice. Practice three gets under way at 11am today with qualifying starting at two. You can listen to it live on radio 5 live sport. Theres no stopping the top two, in rugby leagues super league. Warrington remain second after beating wakefield while the leaders st helens continued their dominance with a 36 10 win over struggling leeds rhinos. Louis mccarthy scarsbrook, with two of their tries. There were wins too for salford and wigan. Its considered to be the ultimate test of sporting prowess. This week the modern pentathlon World Cup Final takes place injapan and the british Team Includes the current mens World Champion. But, if all five events feels a bit out of reach, theres now a safe way to try out the last two disciplines running and shooting. Ive been to bath to join the british team and find out more. How is your running and shooting . I am pretty good at it. Its one of the oldest 0lympic sports in the century was developed to test the skills of the ideal soldier, the ability to run to and from battle, should your opponent, put them to the sword, to swim with power and speed and to get on an unknown horse and clear whatever obstacles get in your way. This is where my pentathlon challenge would end. In fact showjumping might put any of getting involved in the sport now there is a way for all of us to get a taste of what the athletes do. Now there is the laser run. Its still the finale for the elite paint athletes from team gb here but its also a sport in its own right which is on tourfor everyone also a sport in its own right which is on tour for everyone to have a go at it this summer. It simply running and shooting lasers. Youve got 50 seconds to hit the target five times. In the athletes have already gone. Running and shooting used to be separate events in pentathlon but they are now combined to make the last stages more exciting. Athletes have to run, hit five targets and repeat three more times. A scaled down version of laser run with shorter distances will now be taken around with shorter distances will now be ta ken around towns with shorter distances will now be taken around towns and cities this summer taken around towns and cities this summerand taken around towns and cities this summer and the lasers are so safe, the athletes can run behind the targets as they lapped me. Its a fantastic sport because its relatively quick, there could just provided for you and the safety of the lasers is early on, you can host it in schools in town centres and get a great atmosphere. Its the entry drug we hope for modern pentathlon long term. We are hoping with all these youngsters coming in to try laser run, they will then get the idea of trying three or four different sports and that ultimately leading onto trying modern pentathlon. The athletes make it look so easy but once ive been running making the targets turn green with an accurate shot was show much of a challenge. Its exciting because you can see whether winner or the leader is got your ion you are trying to catch them but youve also got to keep the composed in the shooting because it can be won or lost on the shooting range. Before they even get to the laser run, theyve already been put through the rails starting with a 200m swim. Many of the british team heading to the world cup in tokyo this weekend started swimmers. 0nce theyve dried off they have to face 35 other opponents in the fencing. Its one strike now and you win. You have to be very tactical and committed for that one hit in one minute. Its over, the bell has gone. Well done. These days, all five events are held one stadium over five these days, all five events are held one stadium overfive hours these days, all five events are held one stadium over five hours and with the laser run finale, it often comes down to the wire like World Championships last year when jamie cooks opponent just started celebrating a fraction too early. can remember a lot of pain, thats all i can remember. 0bviously with the altitude in mexico city, i was really suffering. He looked at me afterwards and said, i was so stupid. Isaid, afterwards and said, i was so stupid. I said, i afterwards and said, i was so stupid. Isaid, i cant afterwards and said, i was so stupid. I said, i cant disagree with that. Jamie would settle for a similar close finish and victory in the european championships here in bath this august. Good luck to all those competing in the laser run tomorrow. Its all happening in the pentathlon. Heres nick with a look at this mornings weather. If you have something happening next week, the weather is looking kind for you. It is looking sweaty, lots of humidity around, and some warm sunshine. Today, it is looking like a gorgeous summer day. A little bit chilly first thing but temperatures are heading up, and the sunshine, most of us will see that. High pressure in control, and when you see that you know it will be settled. But ignore these weather fronts for now, they come into play later tomorrow. After the chilly stuff it will warm up in the sunshine. A bit of cloud across parts of south eastern england, northern ireland, northern scotland, where there will be one or two passing showers. But for the majority it is a dry saturday to come. Plenty of sunshine on the way as well. Temperatures of around 1821, 22 in the as well. Temperatures of around 18 21, 22 in the warmer parts. A stunning saturday on the way, still fine as we go on through this evening. A bit of cloud in northern scotla nd evening. A bit of cloud in northern scotland producing the odd shower. The breeze picking up in South West England and south west wales, some cloud moving in, a little bit chillier tonight. For part two of the weekend, the weather fronts are getting closer very gradually. High pressure beginning to pull away. The flow between the low and the high means we will be getting a stronger breeze tomorrow, more of us will notice the breeze from the south east. Cloud increasing after a sunny start. The odd shower breaking out, one or two more into northern scotland, but this is rain, perhaps thundery rain, moving towards cornwall, cambridgeshire and parts of northern ireland. It will stay east during the day, but warmer into south east england. Around london may be up to 25 degrees. There are warnings for thunderstorms in force later on sunday and monday and into tuesday even. 0n later on sunday and monday and into tuesday even. On sunday night, england and were seeing some thundery rain, producing 20 30, maybe up to 50 millimetres in some areas. Central and eastern scotland, maybe 20 50 millimetres, again, the potential for some flooding and disruption, thunderstorms elsewhere are possible. Quite a stormy start to the week next week, but it wont be stormy everywhere. It will also be stormy everywhere. It will also be spells of sunshine, and it will turn out to be quite hot for some of us in that sunshine, but quite humid as well. 30 or 31 degrees across some southern parts, not everyone will get a temperature that high but it is looking warm to hot, and humidity will be building as well. Some storms around to start the week. Now on breakfast its time for click. The Global Learning xprize, at it was named, was the brainchild of elon musk. Its aim was to teach children maths and literacy in their own language that would deliver results at least as good as it would have been if they had the chance to go to class. It was an outrageous amount of money to give away for a competition a 10 million prize, but some would say its a small price to pay, because the challenge was to find the best way to teach children remotely. The results have been impressive. Last months in los angeles, two winners were announced, picking up 5 million each from elon himself. Dan has been back to africa to talk to one of them about what they achieved, and what might be next. Rooster crows. The walk to school, and back to where it all began. It was here in this village where seven years ago, 0nebillion handed out its first devices, before any of these children were born. Some of them are still in use. Andrews charity is now working with partners in south africa, uganda, the uk, tanzania as well as across malawi, but to its founder, this place is special as is winning the xprize. On a personal level, we just felt enormous gratitude. Weve built on the expertise of so many people from around the world. 0bviously 5 million is very, very useful. Its really given us this opportunity to show that we have a quality product that can achieve this recognition from xprize. In tanzania, tablets were given out to 4000 schoolless children in 150 villages, most of whom scored zero when tested in maths and literacy at the start of the trial. 18 months on, and the results were stark in many cases, better than would have been expected if theyd gone to school. And interestingly, with little difference in results between boys and girls. I think its the biggest Educational Learning trial anywhere in the world. We saw children making very significant gains in letter recognition, in reading words, in maths, recognising numbers, number discriminations. What this shows to us is that there is a solution to the Global Learning crisis. Those positive results are reflected here in these 30 Minute Community sessions held at this village house. I have a daughter, grace and in the past, she was not doing well in mathematics but when the gadgets come, she is doing good in school. Schools in malawi, you will get one classroom with over 150 children. I know one school where there is 200, 250 children in one classroom. If you put in place, for example, what were doing here, using the tablets, it will actually ease the tension in class. Can you imagine how many hours it takes to mark 250. You have a lesson of 30 minutes and then four hours for marking. 0nebillion is launching a new robust, low cost tablet building on what theyve learned so far. These tablets often can be damaged by the usb plug, if someone doesnt know youve got to put them in one way round, they can force it and it can break. So we use a magnetic connector rather than usb, and it can be charged from solar. This adapts to the child. The software now has a chaos start up mode, where it can assess the abilities of any child who picks it up in the background and build a learning plan on the fly. Andrew is keen to work with education officials and experts on the ground, allowing them to tailor the curriculum to each community. You say you are keen to work with partners. Would that be any partner . If google or microsoft came along with a large amount of cash, would you welcome that . We believe that the child, particularly at primary school, needs to be in a sanctuary where they are not being observed, and data is being extracted about them. All of us know that Big Tech Companies are gathering data on all of us now. I mean, google probably knows where we are sitting now in the middle of malawi, and that information is monetised. I am fearful, i think we must protect children from being seen as a product in any way. An hours drive north of lilongwe and the potential of the Software Becomes clear. Dzaleka refugee camp is home to almost 40,000, fleeing war orfamine. Here, 0nebillions partner, vso, is delivering hour long classes. This is Integrity Church in the heart of the refugee camp. 50 or so children are here. The tablets have been in for about a month. Its a little too early to assess the progress but the interest, you just have to look at the faces. The xprize has shown this open Source Software works, and that its one of the best at delivering these results. Given the right funding, it seems hard to imagine why tablet schooling wont become more widely adopted. These days, fitness gadgets are about so much more than just tracking our activity. Yes, of course, they want to make us exercise more, but they also aim to help us get injured less and sometimes, even have a spot of fun too. Some of the latest gadgets certainly dont pull any punches. A set of connected boxing gloves. Now, the sensors are embedded here in the wraps, there is one in each hand so they can track how many punches you make, and also the force of those punches. Its eight rounds. So take a deep breath in. Fightcamp hopes to get you fighting fit by running you through a variety of workouts in the app. The accelerometer based sensors track your moves in realtime, recognising the differences between the warmup exercises and when you are pulling a punch. Probably a good job this was a 1 way match, as my lack of skill was pointed out by a professional boxer who happened to be to hand. Ok, this is how you do it. Although the wraps are the pivotal part of the kit, there are options for an entire set up with punch bag too. How good at teaching boxing do you think this is for someone whos never boxed before and is just trying to exercise . You start off by kind of doing it at the lower level, because obviously it has levels, so start off at the lower level until that becomes comfortable, like anything else. Its going to take time and dedication, but its easily accessible to learn, as long as you take the time. Or maybe you prefer a simpler spot of weightlifting. This is a connected kettle bell, and it has six different weights built into one device. You can change them byjust pressing a button. Jaxjox uses a rotated weight stacking system. It locks in the number of plates needed to create your chosen weight, ranging from 5. 5 to 19 kg. 0ne charge of the device will last you up to 14 days. It syncs to a mobile phone app where you can keep track of all the sets and reps that youve done as well as note how much rest youve taken, and then you can keep on competing against yourself. Meanwhile, away from the blood, sweat and tears of this gym, ive been looking at something a little more scientific too. Here at the university of brighton Sports Science physiology lab, there is all sorts of kit and this rather intimidating looking treadmill could be used to help analyse my gait. But instead of doing that, were going to head outside with these, which are the gait up sensors. Inside them, there is a gyroscope, an accelerometer, even a barometer but its not about the hardware, its the data that they are actually collecting which is important and how that can be analysed to help me move better. And the new algorithms doing that are being used here for a collaboration called the sub2 project to try and help elite runners break the 2 hour marathon mark. Lets go it seems i wasnt quite as wonky as i thought i was. When we look at you, you are quite a fit and good runner. Not elite for sure, but not at specific risk to anything that we would do is fine tuning. My colleague says i run like an elephant. Do i not run like an elephant . Can i tell her i do not . They might think that visually its the case, but the data show its not the case. Visually the case, oh dear. But the analytics, and thats the new bit here, not the hardware, do provide a clear report of your running. Contact time, strike and asymmetry are the focus factors, allowing professional level tracking for consumers although with a current pricetag of 1500 quid, i cant imagine them hitting the mainstream just yet. And while much of this tech mayjust seem overengineered and overpriced, maybe its just early days for a fully connected workout experience that can really pack a punch. Thats it for the short cut of click this week. The full version is up on iplayer for you to watch right now, if you fancy. Next week, we have a special programme for you on the subject of sustainable tech. Cant wait for that. In the meantime dont forget to join us on social media throughout the week on youtube, instagram, facebook and twitter at bbcclick. Thanks for watching, and we will see you soon. Good morning welcome to breakfast with Charlie Stayt and naga munchetty. Borisjohnson saw police come to his house after reports of a domestic disturbance.
