We have a special report. President trumps pick to become the next director this week, we get our teeth into of National Intelligence withdraws his name just days after being chosen. Future food, meat free burgers bursting with flavour . And some celebrating in puerto rico as the islands governor resigns rotten food for four. Thought. I after weeks of protests. Desperate efforts to shore up the dam thats still threatening a british town authorities warn of a substantial risk to life. And a swedishjudge orders the release of the american rapper asap rocky. Love food. Who doesnt . Unlike Everything Else in lives, food has become globalised. We have access to a multitude of cuisines, out of season, a multitude of cuisines, out of season, a a multitude of cuisines, out of season, a thing of the past. But the true cost of this indulgence is becoming apparent. With a spiralling Public Health crisis and environmental destruction. I have been to a facility in north london where our discarded foods and up. In this country, Household Waste makes up this country, Household Waste makes upforat this country, Household Waste makes up for at least 70 of what is thrown away. Currently only half the uks food waste is being processed. If it all came to a place like this it could power 350,000 households. This this place receives about 30 lorries a day. Full of waste, mostly coming from homes. This whole operation is powered by the waste that comes in here. And, surprisingly, there is actually only one machine. That is because what arrives here is just food waste in plastic bags. So all that needs to happen is the plastic separated from the food. But that shows how important it is that we do our bit at home first. After the food is removed from the bags, a kind of soup is created. It even has its own recipe to make itjust right for the next bit of the process. These tanks behind me are actually called the digesters and they work like the human digestive system, breaking down food in just the same way. In fa ct, down food in just the same way. In fact, the temperature inside there is 37 degrees, the same temperature as the human gut. 0nce is 37 degrees, the same temperature as the human gut. Once the food is broken down, the gas produced is turned into electricity and the rest dissent as manure to the surrounding farm. But there is no denying that aside from the waste we need to be creating more food to be able to feed the worlds growing population. And to be able to do that, we need to find ways of creating sustainable and efficient farming. So we took a trip to the 0rkney and efficient farming. So we took a trip to the Orkney Islands off the coast of scotland to see how 56 is being used to do just that. 56 networks are starting to pop up in uk cities. But for many rural areas, even getting a basic signal remains a challenge. Including in the 0rkney islands off the north coast of scotland, with a population ofjust 22,000 people. In the past, an argument against setting up remote mobile towers and Remote Networks was the cost of construction. But this could be about to change. In a revolutionary move, the u. K. s communication regulator is opening up communication regulator is opening up the airwaves to anyone who wants to use it. At cost price on a first come first served basis. Mobile operators want to provide Service Across the country. Some places dont use all the spectrum, we are hoping that innovations will come out of it and new industries will develop. Industry will not be constrained by bits of wire. Experiments to build local networks are already under way. The 56 rural try has brought sg capabilities to different projects across the 0rkney islands. 0ne different projects across the 0rkney islands. One of the most remote and under connected parts of the uk. But while remote, the islands contributed significantly to to uk exports of salmon and whiskey. Salmon is one of the uks biggest food exports, with more than £700 million a year. Many salmon farms are located offshore in scottish waters. With up to 25,000 fish in each cage there is a lot of data that needs to be collect the. This box monitors sensors in the water that include temperature sensors, salinity sensors and oxygen sensors to get a seeing how oxygen is going to get a seeing how oxygen is going to the fish. The oxygen levels affect when and how much the fish are fed. Automatic feeding systems work of that data on a wi fi net work of that data on a wi fi net work over a 56 connection, with four feeders running at once. Just that feeders running at once. Just that feed off your laptop . Yes. I am connected to the computer via screen connected to the computer via screen connect which is a benefit to us because we can be out on site and ready to feed the fish rather than have a man sitting and feeding them all day. He can be working with us and helping us. And some processes are still done by hand, like checking for sea lice. That could change as well. We will be doing Health Checks on them and make sure they are nice and clean. That one is beautiful. So if you had a 56 connection you may not need to do this, where you remove the fish from the water . No. We would have hd cameras that could monitor the condition. 56 brings a couple of elements. It is ahead of ag, with higher bandwidth. But it also brings low latency, meaning that the time the signal takes to go back and forth becomes a much faster. We can deploy it in areas that we may not have been able to before. It is all now coming together into a single infrastructure, providing solutions that may be over ag was only a dream. While only 22,000 people live in 0rkney, a further 200,000 tourists come to visit its whiskey distilleries and famous neolithic sites every year. Many arrive by cruise ship including this disney one, dropping of hundreds of passengers. By selling access to bespoke wi fi networks over 5g, the local community could pay for the master needed to get Network Access all year round. So we are standing in the middle and you can see two masts from here. If you look over here, there are two masts at there. We are running from that right now. Can we see . So. That is us connected now. That is the signal. Number 15 is queueing up. Connected now. That is the signal. Number15 is queueing up. Signal strength is impressive. 0ther applications like augmented reality guides are being tested, which tourists can also purchase while visiting. As a possible to see you have a signal or a connection to a network here . No, ijust have emergency calls. I have no ag, no 3g. Emergency calls. I have no ag, no 36. This emergency calls. I have no ag, no 3g. This is a 5g connection. 0h, wow is this something you would wa nt to wow is this something you would want to use . Yes. Especially if you have children as well. For important sites at this, yes. The 5g network is also being tested on windfarms to the 0rkney is also being tested on windfarms to the Orkney Islands produce over 130 of its electricity demand through Renewable Energy, selling the access back to the national grid. With sustained winds over 100 mph during the winter and farms in remote locations, having sensors delivering data in real time to a Central Point can help keep the turbines running in dangerous conditions. These turbines are now connected to a smart grid which mixes Renewable Energy with battery technology. Before they were connected by copper wire to telephone lines, making them vulnerable to damage from lightning strike. We hope that the 5g system will minimise the amount of outages that the project can have. You can imagine that if we were connected by a simple wire, that can fail and it. Generation. And we do not want that. We wa nt generation. And we do not want that. We want to be able to provide power whenever it is windy and send it to scotla nd whenever it is windy and send it to scotland where it can be used to all these projects are still in the pilot stage. With off, opening up the airwaves, they could soon become reality. In some places like orkney where spectrum is not fully used, we wa nt where spectrum is not fully used, we want people to be able to use spectrum as a way of deploying new services, be it in rural areas where people are doing new and innovative things or in factories or enterprise officers as we go toward more industrial real reality, we want to use 5g. Each bid for the part of this shared spectrum will be assessed to assure ensure there is no interference. It will start taking bids towards the end of the year. Hello and welcome to the weak tech. It was the week that i had gone Financial Services firm capital 0ne compromised detail for 106 Million People across the us and canada. Researches the google found five floors in the imessages softwa re five floors in the imessages software that could make the device vulnerable to attack. And in nice work if you can get it news, a us teenager won 3 million by becoming World Champion at fortnight. Facebook announced a breakthrough in its mine bending plan to create a device that allows people to type i thinking. A study funded by facebook users electrodes on the brain. s book hopes it will pave the way for a non invasive wearable device that can a non invasive wearable device that ca n process a non invasive wearable device that can process a hundred words a minute. If at first you dont succeed,. His previous attempt to cross the English Channel saw him fall into the water halfway across while trying to land on a refuelling vessel. In the heatwave may have passed but it does not make this device any less cool. Sony have developed a wearable air conditioning device that, using air conditioning device that, using a certain effect, will call you by up a certain effect, will call you by up to 13 degrees or heat you up by up up to 13 degrees or heat you up by up to 13 degrees or heat you up by up to eight. All of a single charge. And, finally radio developers have created device to help you find mosquitoes in your room, even in the dark. It uses lasers to identify and pinpoint literally the location of the bug. You will still need to get your swatter out. To make the whole Food Industry more sustainable, we are also going to need to broaden our diets. So i have come here to copenhagen to visit ikeas research and development laboratory. And see what they have in mind. What we are exploring in our test kitchen is not necessarily going to end up in the ikea restaurant. 0ur starting point is feeding 10 billion people in a sustainable manner and without compromising deliciousness. What am i eating . This is a douglas hotdog. We use carrots instead of sausages and we have poached them in a mixture of apple juice and carrot juice and then we have dry them in the oven for about 1. 5 hours so they shrink and they turn chilli. Are like me to. Much of what we have come up with is plant based because know that turning to a vegan diet is simply the most sustainable thing you can do as an individual. But beside that we need protein and in that we have explored everything from inset, not only because they are environmentally friendly but also because they are delicious. We have explored microalgae or spiritual inner. The only problem was very lean is that it tastes like lg. So we are trying to find ways of making this taste good. We will start by putting this cure, this paste of pumpkin seeds in the bottom of the hotdog and then we will add the carrot and our beetroot catch up. The carrot and our beetroot catchup. So time for a taste test. Do you like it . It doesnt taste like a normal hotdog but it tastes a lot better. The flavour of all the source, so many different tastes, and they are all quite intense. 0k, it isa and they are all quite intense. 0k, it is a bit messy eating on camera but beyond the ingredients, ikea is also hoping to reduce its carbon footprint, introducing hydroponic farming in all stores. This method creates the perfect environment for growing plants using their food waste as fertiliser. But we could all be getting a little more creative with our waste, it seems. Take leftover creative with our waste, it seems. Ta ke leftover grou nd creative with our waste, it seems. Take leftover ground coffee, for a start. Because you only use 1 of the nutrients in the coffee grounds when you make a cup of coffee, we actually use some of our coffee grounds for growing oyster mushrooms. Will they be caffeinated, . I mushrooms. Will they be caffeinated, . I dont know. I dont believe so. One issue we hear a lot about is the need for a sustainable alternative to meet that could mean alternative to meet that could mean a plant based alternative or something created in elaborate tory. But are they really more environmentally friendly . We have grown so accustomed to eating meat every day that Global Consumption is almost five times higher thanjust consumption is almost five times higher than just 50 years ago. Reaching a staggering 330 million tons every year. And that is a problem. At yonder meet in la they have designed the generation of meat substitute by analysing it at a cellular level. They then went hunting through the plant kingdom for enzymes, fats and proteins that behave in the same way as the elements of the meat. In this case, extracted from peas, potatoes and with beetroot for blood. I know its not meet, and im going to taste it soon, but just from not meet, and im going to taste it soon, butjust from the not meet, and im going to taste it soon, but just from the juice not meet, and im going to taste it soon, butjust from thejuice it feels like a burger. The result is a duty burger patty that even looks like well meet, complete with marbled fat and succulent booze when you bite into it. As well as the visual appeal, scientists examine the components of aroma so they can be manic in the lab. Im going to do it the way you do a burger, straight m, it the way you do a burger, straight in, trying to get it oozing of my fingers. It is dripping down my hands. And oozing in a very burger like way. What you have here is an assembly of amino acids, lipids, trace minerals, vitamins, water, which is also the composition of Animal Protein or meat. So what we are doing is essentially bypassing the animal, and ourjob is essentially to recreate me greatly from plants. If you look at the amount of water use, we used 11 less water, we use half the energy. If you look at the emissions we provide, we are about 90 fewer emissions. And lastly on land, it is an important one for the farmer, we use 93 less land. If you are a farmer with 100 acres you can now grow on seven acres what you use to use all 10a. There is still one major drawback for your average meat loving family. Where a pack of fresh beef burgers might be priced around £a a0 per kilogram, the beyond meat alternative is currently around £23 for the same weight. If what i am saying is true that we are so much more efficient, wildly more expensive, that doesnt make sense. Reason is it is a new industry, we arejust building our reason is it is a new industry, we are just building our supply reason is it is a new industry, we arejust building our supply chain out, so as we are able to build our supply chain further and further, we will be able to drive our price below that of Animal Protein. This burger substitute is 100 vegan, but while vegetable substitutes struggle to recreate the meat, there is one company who have decided to just grow it in the lab. Aleph farms is creating what is used known as cultured meat, using animal cells. This meat does not develop any Agricultural Land with gas and livestock and no animals need to be slaughtered. We use less resources, less input to feed the cells, than to feed the animal, but also addressing issues of animal welfare, the use of antibiotics, which is one of the key drivers for developing the superbugs, meaning resistance to antibiotics. The potentialfor creating a world more Sustainable Way to feed the planet is huge. But again, the price, at around £2000 per kilogram right now, whats this way outside regular household food budgets. There is also the not so little matter of getting approval from food safety authorities before you can even think about selling it, which could take years. For many, switching to a meat free diet is partly about sustainability and partly about sustainability and partly about sustainability and partly about better health. But beyond the marketing hype, are these heavily processed foods actually achieving either goal . With cultured meat you are in many cases trading off reduction of methane for potentially substantial increases in the c02 potentially substantial increases in the co2 emissions. Potentially substantial increases in the c02 emissions. There is a lot of debate and uncertainty around if highly processed food is intrinsically bad for you or not. Actually look at what is done to that food on the way to you and how much energy is added to it in the course of processing and our many polluta nts course of processing and our many pollutants are produced, is an essential thing. There pollutants are produced, is an essentialthing. There is pollutants are produced, is an essential thing. There is still a long way to go to produce an effective meat substitute that is both delicious and affordable. But with one third of brits already stating they lead a mainly vegetarian life, it is a booming market attract a lot of investment to design the perfect meat replacement. That was kate. So we have seen how new ways of farming and even creating food in a lab can solve one problem, but we still need to be wasting less at home. So i have been looking at some technology that aims to help. These smart tags and containers are still in preproduction. They are designed to send you reminders about your leftovers. As for your supermarket shopping, you can track that using apps like no waste or macro kitche, which alert you when is about to go off and keep our much your waste is causing you. Snapping a picture of your receipt creates a digital pantry. Kitche did seem better at design deciphering the text in no waste. Kitche also suggests recipes for cooking soon to expire food although you would need to add more ingredients as well result made this seem a bit of a novelty to me. We have seen a few smart fridges that let you take a peek inside remotely, but those will set you back thousands. Fridge cam is trying to give the same convenience for a couple of hundred went. The idea is that it will snapping every time you close your fridge door, so you can see what is inside them anyway. It also uses Image Recognition to keep an eye on the product that is the aim anyway. In reality, and this type of fridge at least, can reviewjust wasnt wide enough to show more than one or two shelves. The camera view. As for those snaps, it will tell you has been opening the fridge. These apps may encourage us to think about how we use our food a bit more, but changing our lifetime shopping and eating habits might be a harder nut to crack. Well, its lunchtime, and there seems to be some food here. This exhibit at the barbican s life rewired event is a creative look at how the future of Sustainable Food could play out. Visitors vote on which they prefer. This looks like a brace. It is a brace, you put it on and we have a sensor inside of it, that takes information of your inta ke that takes information of your intake of food, the saliva you have in your mouth, and keeps an overview of the hygiene of the teeth. That information can connect to your phone, so we can link this information to your activity tracking and see when you run, how much you run, so we can optimise the food so you can get to the best self you want to be. Do you think it will taste good . It will taste delicious. It looks like a teabag. It is a carrot and tea bag, it looks like a teabag. It is a carrot and teabag, you can cook it yourself. These Food Computers could be used to grow crops anywhere, at our offices, kitchens or even bathrooms. It is an enclosed habitat for the crop, so what we do is we set up weather, climate inside, so for example, have managed to grow pineapple in nine months, so before pineapples were grown into years, but here we can set up costa rican weather, with all the humidity, perfect humidity as in costa rica, so the pineapple will grow faster. That is one of our biggest inventions. We have a massive crisis on our hands, so the answer to that is monomial. This is something we believe everyone should have in their homes. Just like you have water coming from the tap we believe you should have a source of this coming straight into your home. What is it made from . We discovered the entrance it is made from, az fibre, 32 carbohydrates, 12 protein, 3 fat and 2 sugar. This means no more food, this will be three meals a day, thats it, no more enjoying food ever again . The way we like to put it is the enjoyment you get out of having a fair and equal world is much greater than the enjoyment you might have in your present of eating Fried Chicken or Something Like that. Ive got to put my vote somewhere, and i am thinking, that we dont need to go this far hopefully, and maybe there is a Sustainable Way of going for Something Like this where we can still enjoy healthy food, and hopefully everybody can enjoy healthy food, and this could be the future, rather than the semolina for brea kfast, future, rather than the semolina for breakfast, lunch and dinner. And thats it for a Sustainable Food special. You can keep track of the tea m special. You can keep track of the team on youtube, facebook, instagram and twitter, and of course we will be back next week, thanks for watching. Friday saw a respite from the rain for many parts, although the severe Flood Warning remains in force at Whaley Bridge dam. And we do have more rain in the forecast later in the weekend, and into the new week. However the day should start of the many dry, bright, a little bit of mist and fog inland now the lights are getting longer, and it could be murky for a time near the east coast before the sunshine gets to work and melts that cloud away. But notice as we go through the day there is a chance of some showers for Northern Ireland, primarily, but there could be the odd heavy, thundery one across the hills of scotland, and perhaps the odd shower across northern england, north wales, but largely dry and fine in the south and east, it is worth stressing that many places will stay dry with spells of strong sunshine through the day today. So there is reallyjust an outside risk of an interruption from a shower to edgbaston nevertheless, that risk is real. For most of the time it should be dry and fine. But as time goes by through the coming evening, this low pressure advances on further east, there is an increasing risk we will start to pick up the cloud, drizzly rain and then, by the time we are heading towards morning, some heavy rain coming into Northern Ireland. Ahead of that we are pulling in a southerly wind, so that will increase the temperature and humidity, so it will be warmer, if anything, through the coming night, temperatures 15 degrees in the central belt of scotland. With that extra humidity comes the risk of some more significant rain on sunday. Bands of slow moving, heavy and thundery showers are forecast for scotland, for Northern Ireland for a time, northern england, north wales, really anywhere from the midlands and lincolnshire northwards, but again, southern and eastern areas, largely fine and warm, warmer still, 26 27 on sunday. But given the risk of further heavy downpours in those areas, already affected by flooding, the met office have issued that warning ahead of time. And actually it looks more unsettled then again in the next week, almost as if the weather is repeating, low pressure comes in and become slow moving, and throws further spells of rain at us. We start that way on monday, that clears up the way, some respite, heavy showers follow back into Northern Ireland, it will feel fresher on monday with that humid air clearing for a while, pick up more of a south westerly wind for the start of the new week. But again come tuesday, it looks as if they will be some rather large and heavy showers around with some hail and thunder in there as well. So it is one of those we need to keep our eye on, 00 28 08,776 4294966103 13 29,430 there is more on the website
