All of this comes ahead of a turbulent week in politics as mps opposed to mr Johnsons Brexit strategy are at attempt to legislate at breakneck speed to block the no deal brexit which mrjohnson says he will pursue if you cannot Reach Agreement with the eu by october 31. The room for manoeuvre, the mps opposing the no deal brexit, has been significantly reduced by mr johnsons decision to suspend Parliament Just days after mps returned from their summer break this week.

Historic homes might be a vital way of preserving british heritage, but maintaining them can be an expensive challenge to take on. We honour the cost of repairs but imagine if your house is massive. Repairs can be costly and time consuming and there are now 2,500 heritage sites currently at risk of disappearing forever. James dunn visited chavenage in the cotswolds, which has turned to unconventional ways of trying to stay afloat. Did i say that right . I hate when you get a place wrong and it is somebodys. You get a place wrong and it is somebodys. You you get a place wrong and it is somebodys. You got the panda names right. This is premium peddling. The stunning cycle through the cotswolds. A touch of champagne. And jazz on the lawn. Baby, hes crying for me. To the untrained eye this is a sunday cycle event but look at that backdrop. This is 5star fitness. People pay £150 a ticket and it is big business. We have already spent a lot of our hard earned cash in our heads in the tents so now we go out on the ride and have a think about which bike you want to buy. It is people with their toys, isnt it . Not because you need it, because you wanted. What do you think you have spent on this stuff . Probably about £3000 but it is worth it. This event isjust the start of big plans for chavenage house which is better known as trent with. For five series the cast of pole dark have trod the boards here but with the site are now over, it must now move with the times. Poldark. People used to come and visit and ask for cromwell and another coming asking for ian turner. Heat in this place is like burning £20 notes. We are hoping to build a Mountain Bike track and putting in stuff like shops, bike hire. It is a Huge Industry and it is growing, it is growing tremendously. Houses are up and down the country that are growing the kind of thing you may associate with big Historic Houses anyway, weddings and special events and filming and festival, but they are branching out into film studios and action role playing into film studios and action role playing and there into film studios and action role playing and there are all sorts of wonderful and wacky things happening to make the bills, to get this place is going for future generations. This is safari in sussex. Toys are showcasing british wildlife, tapping in a conservation 12. At cantwell hall, something different. There were Award Winning events bring in thousands of visitors every year. And with 5000 English Heritage sites at risk of disappearing for ever, new ideas are key. A lot of the building that risk that we have had uses that are now redundant, you know, they were factories or mills and are no longer have that function so they fall out of use and then fall into Poor Condition and you need the repairs to bring them back up, and a new use, you have to find a new way to breathe life back into these buildings. For homes like these, history cells. But to preserve the past, they must also embrace the future. Its like your place. Yeah, i wish. Its like your place. Yeah, i wish. It feels like autumn, doesnt it . Good morning, ben. Yes, good morning to you. The weather has an end of summer vibe today, things are really quite changing. Quite fitting given at the last day of august. Not a bad start to for some of us, checking the weather in nottinghamshire. But as weather in nottinghamshire. But as we go through today we will see some outbreaks of rain moving this goods and behind that band of rain it is going to turn significantly cooler. On the satellite picture you can see this type of cloud. We had some really wet weather across the north of the uk, that is going to move south this words. As it does, it opens the door to some much cooler air which is going to be putting down from the north west. Temperature is considerably lower than they were say, a week ago. But we start of the morning on a very 599y we start of the morning on a very soggy note in scotland, parts of western scotland have been close to 100 millimetres of rain and the rain continues here, blustery winds as well. Gusts of 40 45 mph. Rain moving eastwards across Northern Ireland, north west england, parts of wales, is far south west, that is, some areas of cloud around that some sunshine to start the day. As we go through east anglia and the south east we are going to hold onto a firm of dry weather through the morning, eventually, though, this cloud with abrasive rain pushes eastwards, rain fizzling the wild. Behind, the sun comes out but there are also showers that could be have heavy and glowing. These are the temperatures for saturday, 16 across scotland, maybe scraping the middle 20s across the south east. But as the remnants of that rain ban clear arrays we go through tonight we will see some clearer spells. So is backing into the north west that overnight temperatures are cooler than were used to, recently 7 11 degrees. Oh, a decidedly cool starting sunday morning. Through the day we should get some sunny spells but we do have cool, north westerly wind pushing through. The odd one wishing into east anglia, not as many showers the further west you are. Temperature is just 12 many showers the further west you are. Temperature isjust 12 degrees in aberdeen tomorrow, 21 in london the first day of september and it is not going to be a warm start to the month. Sunday night could be particularly chilly as this area of High Pressure builds in, temporarily. I say temporarily, its a frontal system, so we will see thickening clad on monday, outbreaks of rainfall Northern Ireland, and scotland. Thickening cloud. Actually, as we look ahead to the coming week it is going to stay pretty cool. There will be some dry weather, some rain at times as well. Soa weather, some rain at times as well. So a big change to come, john and steph. We will see you in a bit. Thank you very much. I was getting sunburnt earlier. Maybe its a good chance to catch up on the movies . Now its time for the film review with james king and jane hill. Hello, and a very warm welcome to the film review. This week we have james king with me. Good to see you, james, what have you been watching . Well, its been enjoyably intense week at the cinema. Im going to be talking about taylorjohnsons epic, a million little pieces. And mark jenkins wonderfully minimal bait. Plus, joanna ponders wonderfully addictive drama, the souvenir. Its like a venn diagram of topics this week. A million little pieces, quite a controversial little book. It was a controversial little book. It was a bestseller. So this is Sam Taylor Johnson directing it, adapting it and producing it with aaron taylor johnson, he is also in it, so its very much a family project, with his husband. Its about james wright, its semiautobiographical, its about his drug rehabilitation in america. Aaron taylorjohnson and Juliette Lewis who plays his therapist in the clinic stop coffee . Sure, thanks. Thats yours . No, thats my boyfriends. I write. Yeah. Ive been riding for about ten years. Ride. It turns out theres a way to feed the soul, not just destroyed. Destroy it. |j a way to feed the soul, not just destroyed. Destroy it. Igo a way to feed the soul, not just destroyed. Destroy it. I go on Fishing Chips every now and then trips, im good with a rod, but a drink like a fish. We are all aaa here, everyone who works in this joint from the janitors to the counsellors joint from the janitors to the counsellors we are all aa, we are all addicts. Juliette lewis, makes me think we dont see enough of her. That is what i thought. And i also thought what a great voice she has. One of the great voices. The supporting cast are really interesting. Billy bob thornton is in there as well, another patient at this clinic. Like chalk and cheese characters him and aaron taylor johnson. Like a father figure to him, really. The supporting cast are really good and provide the lighter moments. A lot of it is very intense and dramatic, gutsy. It felt to me like it was almost Sam Taylor Johnson who has previously directed fifty shades of grey, saying forget that, this is the kind of thing i really want to be making. Obviously that was a big movie but not particularly critically praised. And i dont think its something that she enjoyed that much making as a film director. This is the kind of thing she wants to be doing. This is her saying i can really do character pieces. I can do movies where the actors really have to act. Intense, gritty . He is full on method, broken and bruised, you can see him just fading away in front of you as this addict. Is it a tough watch, given the subject matter . Absolutely. But two things make it enjoyable. One is the acting because it is so good and two is the supporting characters. They are there just when you need the mood to be lightened. Just when you need. I am treated by the second choice this week. This is a wonderfully expelled mental drama from markjenkin, cornish director. It is about a feud in a cornish fishing village between locals and tourists. And he shot it on a 60mm camera using old monochrome film, he then processed it himself, there are glitches in the film, there are scratches in the film, and what you get actually is a film that on the one hand looks and feels a bit like it was made a long time ago. It looks like that for sure. Like it was something from the early days of cinema. But the flipside is that it feels excitingly sentimental and ava nt garde in some respects. Because so much of it is about a traditional way of life, the old way of life, for these cornish fishing men, the fishing industry, and they are all techniques and methods, i think actually a way that the film looks work beautifully with that. It also creates a lot of tension. Its creepy sometimes because there is a building tension between the weekenders, the londoners, the second homeowners in this fishing village, and the locals. Thats interesting. The editing is radical at times which helps to build that up, as does the acting. So, its certainly it is not everyones cup of tea, i can appreciate that, but it is not like anything else at the cinema at the moment. Even though it not back to olderfilms, it feels very new. 0k. Interesting. Not fishermans friends. No, very different. The souvenir, little choice for this week which i think is a really interesting film and i need interesting in a good way. Yeah, absolutely. Interesting is always the films critics way. Of hedging their bets. This is from joanna hogg another minimal film maker. British film maker about a young film student, julie, partly based on joanna hoggs life and a relationship each begins with an older man who seems on the face of things very confident, very well spoken. Very charming. Hes actually hiding a secret. So honour Swinton Byrne stars in this. He can hold a cigarette better than anyone else in cinema. Lets have a look at theirs. Did miriam play the cello . No. The violin . No, she wasnt at all musical. She wasnt even pretty, actually. Thats. Not true. Well, she had other qualities. Like what . Darling, i cant tell you in here. Thank you. Excuse me . Im just playing, julie. Stop torturing yourself. Im not torturing. Stop inviting me to torture you. Ugh. Ugh. Eurgh thats exactly how you make me feel when youre being like this. Thank you. It all gets much darker though doesnt it . Dont be fooled by that clip. It gets grittier. What i really like about it is that it doesnt feel like it is really pushing you in any one direction, it is not bullying you as an audience to think one thing or another. It has a distance about the whole thing. It lets you find for yourself what you want to think. A lot ofjoanna hoggs films do. So you actually build your own opinions rather than the film telling you what to think. It is a subtlety about it, complexity about it, and some wonderful performances. Honour Swinton Byrne you might recognise, she is Tilda Swintons daughter. She plays Tilda Swintons daughter in the film. And she is great. Look out for richard ayoade. He steals his scene. It is slow, complex, eerie at times. Quite unsettling at times. But i think that is very rewarding. I found it quite. Maybe, particularly as a woman, quite a stressful watch because i thought you have got to leave him now you really have to leave him this is really stressing me out. But it is about someone who is only in her early 20s who doesnt have the confidence and maturity to see that. Yeah, and she plays it perfectly and tom burke plays it perfectly. I think he has a bafta nomination in the bag. He was amazing. I would hope so. He is particularly sleazy and unpleasant to watch. I think it is the pinstripe suits. They are unsettling. We both loved pain and glory. Reuniting with antonio bandar abbas banderas. It is a semiautobiographical story about a director struggling with creativity, pain, literal pain, back pain and looking back on his childhood. Looking back on his life. Some very familiar themes for the director, the mother son relationship, sexuality, film making. Gorgeous, bright colours that is how you know youre watching one of his films. But i think the difference is that personal side, it feels even more honest. He is always honest in his films but this feels even more so he is opening his heart. I think he hit 70 in a few week and it certainly feels like hes a man who is now looking back on things. Yes. I think its glorious and banderas is glorious as well. A quick thought about dvds and streaming . Amazing grace. Aretha franklin recorded the album, it was filmed, the film never came out, it was never edited, never put together but that much until a few months ago, last year in fact. Its a live recording of one of her performances in a gospel church. When, after 46 years, they finally put together this documentary of aretha singing this album and that is what this is. It is 90 minutes of Aretha Franklin and the Southern California coming to a choir singing gospel. Very simple, that is the joy. So pure and so simple and it is Aretha Franklin at the height of her powers. Everyone i know who estimate says it is very uplifting. Even if you dont like soul music, you can witness the passion of singing. You might not like gospel but watching it, you will fall in love. Thank you very much james with all your recommendations for the weekend ahead. Enjoy your weekend whatever you go and see. See you next time. Goodbye.

Dan evans, though, is out of the mens event after he was beaten by 5 time champion Roger Federer. Adam wild was watching. In one of the games greatest arenas, this was dan evans for the first time. Intimidating enough, even more so when you are greeted by two of sports biggest superstars, basketball legend kobe bryant only stayed around for the coin toss, Roger Federer seemed equally in no mood to hang about. Starting on a charge, but will take into the first set, evans unable to keep pace. Photograph aimlessly once described taking on evans as like playing a mirror image a compliment but no time to reflect. Here he was firmly in his shadow. Outplayed, outclassed, dan evans is out.

This is what football used to be like for logan, watching his brother play from the sidelines. Unable to do so himself, because he relies on a frame to get around. He kept asking his mum why he could not play. So she contacted parents of other youngsters with Cerebral Palsy and then after a day working on a plan with different coaches at st georges park, the game of frame football was born. Logans skills with the football have improved to such an extent that he can now do a rinaldo shot. Look at that he turns ona rinaldo shot. Look at that he turns on a sixpence and he is getting very competitive. These sessions have turned this team into one of the best in the country after winning against him across the uk, even the world, but crucially, it is help them develop their skills in everyday life as we see arthur running up for the ball now. Everyday life as we see arthur running up for the ball nowm gives him a bit of exercise, it strengthens him more. Just about being with your friends as well. It gives them a sense of being independent, like say the big thing is just to be independent, like say the big thing isjust to be in independent, like say the big thing is just to be in the same as their friends. What is your best bet . My shooting. Do you have a hard shot . 0h he shooting. Do you have a hard shot . Oh he has beaten me on the far post. It gives him his chance of walking, really, that he did not have before, and playing football has definitely helped him strengthen that and be more confident in doing that, so. What is your best bet . Scoring goals. Well done. What i wa nt scoring goals. Well done. What i want you to do is bring the balls into the middle. There are now framed football matches playing in all the countries and also across the world, but also the frames that can be used to hit the ball. It is carnage, it is a fierce game, it gives us a chance to be like the rest of them, however life has set us back, we can always play football, and that is what Frame Football Association is doing. Yes they are developing their Co Ordination and balance is huge in this as well so when they try to turn and they are developing strength and getting the body moving in ways they probably wouldnt if they were not up and about and moving and everyone loves football. It puts a smile on my face every other sunday. Where is the goalkeeper . I did my best to keep the score down but there was no way i was getting stuck in the middle of all of those crunching tackles. As the beautiful game opens up to a whole new team. I love the description by one of the kids saying its carnage out there. Sounds the ruling. Its 6 44am. I think we need to move on. Should we skip it . No, then we would never do that. No, ben. Heres ben with a look at this mornings weather. Its the last day of august. Meteorological autumn starts tomorrow and the weather well, the weather is getting cooler. Some of us getting off to a relatively bright start. There is some cloud around as well but as we go through the day we will see some rain moving eastwards and its behind that rain that temperatures begin to dip away. This is the satellite picture. We had this type of cloud sitting across North Western areas. Over the last 24 hours weve seen some rain falling, that nugget was south eastwards, and that will open the door to some much cooler air which is going to be working its way down from the north west. So, this is where we start off on saturday morning, and as you can see its a 599y morning, and as you can see its a soggy start for some of us. There was some heavy rain across scotland, and without some brisk winds as well, we could see wind gusts of 4045 well, we could see wind gusts of 40 45 mph for a time. That rain moves eastwards across Northern Ireland, size of something brighter as we had through the morning, this band of range of north west england, down into wales and dangling in the far south west as well. To these devout, a few spots of cloud, some bright spells. Were going push that fairly narrow band of rain eastwards, fizzling as it goes. The rain across scotland becomes increasingly in confined to the far north east and as we move into these north westerly winds, some spells of sunshine yes but some showers as well, some of which can be heavy and hungry. Parts of scotland in the north, 12 or 13 in the afternoon, thatis north, 12 or 13 in the afternoon, that is your lot. In the south east, movies raping into the middle 20s celsius. Into the evening tonight we lose what is left of that band of cloud and touchy rain, we see simply as does. Still some showers going into the north west but is going to bea into the north west but is going to be a cooler night than were used to lately. Temperatures between 7 11 degrees. Certainly quite a fresh start to tomorrow. We should see some is because of sunshine but we still have this north westerly wind feeding showers into Northern Ireland, scotland, showers topping down across Northern England and perhaps into east anglia. Perhaps some spells of sunshine but a fresher field for all of us, temperatures may be 12 degrees in aberdeen, 21 in london, it isnt that long ago earlier this week we we re that long ago earlier this week we were open into the 30s. And no real signs of anything much longer through the coming week is this area of High Pressure temporarily builds in. Monday morning its likely to start off unequal note indeed and then we keep a lot of cool weather coming to the coming week, its fairly mixed with some sunshine but also rain at times. Those temperatures heading downwards over the next couple of days. Steph and john. Now its time for click with spencer kelly. A warm welcome to click. Welcome to click. Welcome to click, i am spencer kelly. Finally we have reached a very special milestone. We have been on air every week of every year, without a break, since we launched in the year 2000, which means this week you are watching season 1, episode 1000. And to celebrate, we are making a world first. Doing new things is in our dna. I am floating on air. Which is why we dont just show you the tech, we use the tech to push the boundaries of whats possible on tv. Heres the team. Its marc on camera one and two, simon on camera three and four, jen on five, nima on six and seven, ben on eight and this is thalia on nine. This was the worlds first full tv programme to be filmed and edited only on mobile devices. Fyi, it was a nightmare. This weeks click has been filmed entirely in 360 degrees. This was another world first, where we reinvented how tv was made, for an audience that could look in any direction at any time. And this week, for click 1000, we have really gone for it. Do i explore the cave, or do i look behind the tree . Ill explore the cave. So turn to page 84. This is how i spent a lot of my childhood, reading books where i could choose my own adventure, where at every point, i got to decide what happened next, and every time i read it, the story changed. I absolutely loved them. Not only was i in a different world, but because i was in charge of the story, that story came to life. It felt so real. Come on then, spen. So, after choose your own adventure books, came computer adventure games, first with text, and then with amazing graphics. But both would let me explore vast worlds, bigger than any book. The problem is tv doesnt let us do that. It tells one story, it makes one set of choices, and we just sit back and watch. Until now. I demand freedom imagine if everything that you watched was interactive, and if you could change your experiences depending on your mood, your desires, or even how much time you had. If you go online at the address thats on screen now, you will find a special version of this programme that is interactive. You get to choose which tech stories you hear about, and in how much detail. As you watch, youll be given options to dive deeper, or maybe to look at things from a different perspective, or maybe to skip one entirely. The Technology Used to make this possible is known as object based media, or obm, and it could be the future of how we watch video content. Broadcasters have been developing the tech for years now. Bbc r d has explored the concept with various online tutorials. The step by step nature of obm is particularly useful there. Netflix has had a dabble with its puss in boots, and more recently, with Charlie Brookers interactive bandersnatch. And now, premiering the bbcs first ever obm tv show is us. To say its been a tricky, brain melting minefield would be an understatement. Its a little bit like trying to pick up ants from space using tweezers with a blindfold on. These are all the plans that weve made to figure out how were going to structure this episode. Doing obm is really different because you have to think of the story in different ways, because people might have seen other bits of the story, they might have chosen different path through the story. I have been told to create 700 million versions. It has taken more brainpower than any episode i have ever worked on, and more teamwork, to get the thing out there. Trust me, were not talking to each other the moment. What does that stand for . Wizard. But we couldnt have done it without r ds otherworldly expertise. Matthew and his team have been devising an obm strategy for the last few years. A couple of years ago we decided we wanted to try and transfer this capability to create this stuff. We were busy engineering it, but we didnt have any tools. So we decided to build a story kit, essentially. Custom made software can handle hundreds of pieces of content, like video, audio and text, and put them together on the fly, as viewers make their choices. So its a tool that is aimed at producers who have no hot Software Development skills, so the whole idea was to allow these people to then easily use an interface like a drag and drop interface like story former, to create those experiences. All in all, we think we have 148 different chunks of video, which to my mind makes about a gazillion different paths through the content. Also tons of footage, and weve used up every hard drive that we have. I suppose its been keeping me up at night, thinking are we going to get it finished in time . It really has been a challenging process. Theres been times when i had to dojust like. But we think, we really think, its been worth it. Putting you in the driving seat will mean, hopefully, you at home can enjoy the show more than ever before more. At the core of being able to give you all these choices is the idea of branching narratives, possible options that lead onto the next bit, or reroute you to a park where the story can flow from there. To get advice on how to create a multiple choice click, i went to create one of the creators of the fighting fantasy books i grew up with, Ian Livingstone. It involves writing multiple storylines at once. And how i used to do it was create a map, on which i kept a record of all the encounters as you went through the adventure. Its giving you a choice like do you want to turn left or right, which is a simple choice, or do you want to try and tiptoe past the sleeping goblin or attack him with your sword. And the choices are quite varied. So when im writing i have to keep a record of where the reader would go. So if you make this choice, i need to make sure that they can actually get out of there, and then these are all the encounters. They find gold, they find treasure, they find magical items. Can i show you our version of an adventure map . This is the layout of this actual interview, which is multichoice. What do you think . Minimalist. Not too many options, so we should be done in less than four hours. Because it can take you days to get through a fighting fantasy game book. Good luck on your adventure. That was Ian Livingstone talking to one of his biggest fanboys. But with great power comes great responsibility, i mean, do you really want to make decisions about the tv programme and films that you watch . Would you rather just sit back and relax . And also, if you want to talk to your friends about what youve seen, theyve seen a different version of the show, you dont have a common ground. And then theres another thing. Through interactive experiences, its possible to get tabs on viewers habits, and you may be giving out more information about yourself than you think. Heres more. Extrovert or introvert, open to new experiences, or more comfortable with tradition . Were using the data you collect while you watch the obm show to deliver a specific advert to you. The choices you made gave us an idea of your personality, its certainly not scientific, but when you try it out, see if we were right. Researchers have worked out that even simple data leaks can give indications about your personality. With just 75 facebook likes being as illuminating as asking a work colleague about you. And with 300 likes, they can be as accurate as asking a partner about you. You can infer private stuff from data you might think is not too meaningful. So peoples personality, peoples intelligence, peoples political views, religious views, sexuality, just because you like camping and a few other things. Of course we all recognise when facebook, google and instagram do this, showing adverts tailored to our behaviour. Which can be good if youre looking for a specific item, but can also be a bit unnerving. So people say Online Advertising is creepy, you are talking to a friend, then later on you see an advertisement for the same thing you were talking about. It mayjust be that you were talking to your friend, but then the fact you are talking to someone else, they may search for something, and then suddenly you are seeing an ad for something that theyre interested in. Because they infer you are friends and therefore probably have similar interests. If all this creeps you out a bit, well look to see some of the tools online that may help obscure your data trail.
