Essex police said they would not comment on what they called speculation about the nationalities of those who had tragically lost their lives. Andy moore, bbc news. Andy is in tilbury for us this morning, where the container has been moved to. It isa it is a confusing picture, isnt it, but bit by bit, hour by hour, i guess the police are beginning, potentially, to work out what has happened here . Well, they are certainly making quite a few arrests, we are up to four now so 38 year old man, a woman also 38, arrested in warrington in cheshire on thursday night. 48 year old man arrested at Stansted Airport yesterday. Those three all being held on suspicion of people trafficking and manslaughter. Then we had the lorry driver who is 25, he has been held in custody now for four days, accused of murder. Now, as to those reports that there may have been vietnamese citizens on board the lorry, there is an organisation vite home who has been collating reports from families worried about loved ones viet home. They said they have nearly 20 photos of missing people, they say they are aged between 15 and a5, though of course we do not know that all of those people were of course on board the all of those people were of course on boa rd the lorry. All of those people were of course on board the lorry. The vietnamese and chinese embassies both say they are working with essex police. Thank you. We will speak to him later in the programme. In the next half hour, well be hearing from an anti trafficking expert in vietnam, to tell us why some people risk taking such a dangerous journey to the uk. Andy yes, much more on that story throughout the programme this morning. The governor of california has declared an emergency in two counties because of two rapidly spreading wildfires. The Emergency Services have struggled to tackle the fires that have forced about 40,000 people to leave their homes and left many more without power. David willis reports. Sophie long reports from california. High temperatures and dry winds spread flames and fear as california burns. With gus of up to 70 miles an hour, new places are sparked before others can be contained. The fire causing most concern is burning through famed vineyards at kincaid, about 70 miles north of San Francisco. You could actually hear the wind coming down the canyon. It sounded like a rocket. Another is the tick fire, about 30 miles north of los angeles. Tens of thousands of people were told to evacuate, memories are evoked of the devastating wildfires of the past two years that killed more than 100 people. The threat to human life here is real. Last year, the deadliest fire in californias history was sparked by the main Energy Company pg es cables. It cut off power to hundreds of thousands off power to hundreds of thousands of homes recently to prevent this from happening again but now it is a high voltage tower supported damaged close to where the kincaid fire started. It is infuriating beyond words to live in a state is innovative and extraordinarily entrepreneurial and capable as the state of california to be living in an environment where we are seeing this kind of disruption and these kind of blackouts. Much of california is under imminent threat of fire due to the hot, dry conditions, and the danger is increasing. Weather forecasts for the week ahead show winds could get even stronger. Sophie long, bbc news, los angeles. A second mans due to appear in court this morning, charged with a double murder at a house party in milton keynes. Dom ansah and ben gillham rice were stabbed to death last weekend. Earl bevans, whos 22, has also been charged with two counts of attempted murder. Another man, 21 year old charlie chandler, was remanded in custody on the same charges. At least a0 people have died in iraq after a fresh wave of Anti Government protests descended into violence. Reports say half of the victims were killed while trying to storm the offices of militia groups and the government. Protesters are demanding more jobs, better public services, and an end to corruption. Meanwhile, the dup Conference Begins in belfast today amid further signs of tension between the party and the conservatives over brexit. Leader arlene foster, who will make her speech this afternoon, has accused borisjohnson of breaking commitments he made when speaking to the dup conference last year. She added her party will consider this weekend whether to back the prime ministers call for a general election. I feel that he did not do what was best for the people of Northern Ireland and i mean everyone knows he was here last year, he made very clear claims and very clear commitments but he hasnt stood by those commitments. We want a brexit deal that is sensible and brings a deal that is sensible and brings a deal that is sensible and brings a deal that respects the territorial integrity of the United Kingdom and the Single Market of the United Kingdom. Unfortunately, he has moved away from that. I think the people of Northern Ireland felt he had broken commitments that he had made, not least here, after the dup conference last year. Arlene foster. If you are heading out to walk the dogs this morning, here is some inspiration for you. A man from derby has completed an epic 4,000 mile walk around the coast of britain in memory of his daughter, who died from a blood clot in 2011. He did not take a dog. Martin shipley began his amazing journey from Robin Hoods Bay in yorkshire in february. His wife maureen has been supporting him throughout the challenge and has walked 1,000 miles herself. Theyve raised more than £10,000 for charity. Well done to both of them. Absolutely brilliant. Leicester city have recorded the biggest away win in premier League History, beating southampton 9 0. 90 that 9 0 that is right the result equals the record score in recent history. Manchester united beat ipswich town by the same margin in 1995. Leicester are now second in the premier league, five points behind liverpool. Imean, i mean, astonishing result. I mean, astonishing resultlj i mean, astonishing result. I bet they were like can we just get another one can we get the absolute record and make it to ten, a nice round number. 0nly nine.

When jamie vardy scored the penalty it looked as though it was the winning goal that they celebrated it, but loved every minute, it was remarkable to see. What are the papers make of it .

The times headline uses the words of a vietnamese woman who is feared to be among the 39 people found dead in a lorry trailer in essex on wednesday. She texted her mum, saying she couldnt breathe. Such a poignant story, isnt it . The guardian also leads with the same story, saying that some of the vietnamese citizens on board may have been travelling on fake chinese passports. That may explain the confusion about their citizenship. New Strictlyjudge Motsi Mabuse has opened up to the daily mirror about the racism that she and her younger sister 0ti experienced while growing up in south africa. Motsi told the paper they struggled to find dance teachers during the countrys apartheid era. And finally, the daily express reports on how its columnist charlie pleasant will benefit from a new deal which allows the nhs to offer life changing Cystic Fibrosis drugs. It isa it is a big morning in sport this morning. Huge. England are playing Rugby World Cup semifinal and i bet there is plenty in the papers about it today. Everyone is trying to work it today. Everyone is trying to work it out and it is something that england had never managed to do in the world cup and i do not want to be the bringer of doom and gloom but it is much better to be the underdog going into a semifinal like this but yes, the pages are dominated with it and of course, england, as you say, trying to work this out, he is convinced they can do it. He says but constantly, through every paper today, they are confident. It will be an interesting game. |j today, they are confident. It will be an interesting game. I want to know what their plan is father haka. How do they respond . For the haka. Asi how do they respond . For the haka. As i say, it has not worked for them haka.

The other tactic is to keep their tracksuit tops on. Secret weapon . And then they have to go and get changed and it stops the momentum. It is quite clever. Someone has thought this through. 0h, someone has thought this through. Oh, yes, a lot of preparation has gone into this. I like this. Nostalgia. Richard and judy. 0n the sofa together on mike kelly.

Proper beetle has been named after Greta Thunberg in honour of her eco promotion fight for the environment. It was previously called. Locke, greta is easier to say. Have you seen this as well . There is a kangaroo, maybe, loose in nottingham. Look out of your window surely it wouldnt have to be hoppingham, but can you see . That is not a kangaroo why has someone decided that is a kangaroo .

The most appealing pose is standing with ones weight mostly on one leg with a twist in the upper body and it makes the waist to hip ratio seem smaller and that is a p pa re ntly ratio seem smaller and that is apparently how you should take a selfie. Who has the time for this . I think a lot of people on instagram have the time for this. You strike a pose like venus that is the first ever kind of like recorded. Ideally with clothes on. And not in a shell. Right. Those are this mornings stories. Some light relief there. No light relief this morning. But there is light at the end of the tunnel, if it is sunshine and dry weather you want. Dont turn off yet. Keep watching the forecast. For the time being we still have an amber weather warning in for heavy rain across south wales. If we look at what happened through the night you can see how relentless it has been already. A couple of inches falling in places, moving through the south west of england, across wales into the midlands and the north of england as well. To the far north, a scattering of showers. This is basically the story throughout the weekend. But weather front sinks south and east before the low pressure takes over and introduces something a little bit colder but a little bit drier. Before that we still have that wet weather to clear. We can split the country into three, actually, in the south east, it isa three, actually, in the south east, it is a mild but cloudy start with a little bit of drizzle. Temperatures overnight only falling down to those of 15 degrees. That rain will meander towards the south east, so eventually we will see an improvement. Still a couple of inches to go before it clears through. Behind it, decent spells of sunshine to scotland and Northern Ireland already. A few scattered showers and some of those showers turning wintry across the tops of high ground. Breezy, but not the strong winds we had last night. Through the day today, a real contrast in the feel of the weather. Cold temperatures struggling to get into double digits, but we are clinging onto the milder in the south east, because that front still has to clear, it will do so through the night, slowly moving away from that canned coastline, clear skies, temperatures tumbling away. Kent coastline. Still keeping some showers going. They will chiefly be enhanced into the far north by this little weather front, but look at the blue tones pushing right across the blue tones pushing right across the country. It is going to be a cold start to tomorrow morning. Something we have not been used to lately. But more importantly, we all getan lately. But more importantly, we all get an extra hour in bed. Dont forget to set the clocks back one hour before you go to bed, so we all getan hour before you go to bed, so we all get an extra hour, which is good news, and it is going to be a chilly start but a sparkling start to sunday. I havent said that for quite some time. Lots of clear skies, lots of sunshine coming through. Thats northerly wind driving in eighth in a few scattered showers into the exposed coast of scotland, but if you have outdoor plans, providing you have an extra layer on, you will not be disappointed with sundays weather forecast, 9 12 or 13 degrees. It looks likely this story is going to continue into next week. We keep that drier theme with some sunshine around but it will be chilly by day and also chilly by night. A little glimmer of hope, i like that. And an extra hour in bed. Marvellous. Everybody is a winner. Lets use it to go to the cinema. It is time for the film review. Hello and welcome to the film review on bbc news. To take us through this weeks cinema releases is mark kermode. Hello, mark. Hi. We have a very, very interesting week, we have the last black man in San Francisco which is a Sundance Film Festival hit. We have monos, an extraordinary feature from alejando landes. And black and blue, a thriller starring naomie harris. There is quite a lot of talk about all of these actually. There has. So, San Francisco features . This was a film that was funded initially by crowdfunding, they appealed with an idea and they did really, really well. It is co written by and stars jimmie fails who plays a man who is desperate to retrieve his family home in the upmarket filmore district of San Francisco. He has a very good friend who he tours around the city with and they have been pushed to the outskirts, and visit this house regularly which is now lived in by a white couple. He believes they dont look after the house properly, he turns up and starts painting the windowsills. Theyre going, go away its and he says, well, youre not looking after it properly. He arrives there one day to discover they themselves have been thrown out of the house, there has been an inheritance problem so the house is now empty. He decides were going to move back in and he goes to see his aunt to get all the furniture that used to be in the house before they moved out, heres a clip. Your daddy didnt send you here, right . No. You sure . I swear to god. Because i hope hes done dragging you into his schemes. Auntie, this is for us. 0k. Im proud of you. I really am. Thank you. I miss that city. 0h, ooh you still look good though, baby. You still look good. What i love about this, and i think you get a little sense from that, is it has a surreal comic element to it but it also has a lot of pathos and element of tragedy about it. 0n the one hand, it is about how place changes through gentrification because the whole thing is his grandfather made the house and they want to get back to it. 0n the other hand, it is about how any place changes depending on the way you look at it. There is a lovely thing about the two main characters skateboarding through the city and you see the city passing by them but you also see the bond between them, because one of them has to put his hand on the others shoulders, in orderfor them to skateboard together. And it is about how people and places are intertwined. The director described it as a love story between a man and a house. It is partly about history, partly about personal relationships. It has the most wonderful score by Emile Mosseri who i hadnt come across before. This score lends a fairy tale aspect to this story. 0n the one hand, it is a story about a prince being exiled from his castle. It could be quite an angry film because gentrification makes some people, you know, quite upset. Yes, and it absolutely isnt, although there is a thread of anger in the narrative but what is lovely about it is its actually strangely gentle, strangely serene, almost dreamy. I spent a long time watching it thinking the real genius of this on the one hand, the music is fabulous, and it has this look about it which is you get into the rhythm of the piece, you learn to slightly slow yourself down and attune to the frequency of the film. It is very rich, often very funny but also it has a real tragic comic dark heart to it. It is about a very real thing, something changing, about memory, about history and about gentrification, but also it is kind of a fairy tale. It was made from the ground up for very little money and it was backed by brad pitts plan b. Its really remarkable. Interesting. I dont even know how to begin to describe the second film, thankfully youre here i havent seen it yet. I am bemused trying to read about it. Monos almost defies description by words because it is a audio visual experience. It is directed by Alejandro Landes who is a colombian ecuadorian film maker. It is a story about teenage guerrilla soldiers in an unnamed location on the top of a mountain above the cloud line where they are being trained and looking after american prisoners. We dont have geopolitical details of where they are, even when this is and how this got there. At the beginning they are being trained by somebody called the messenger who leaves them to their own devices. There is a motive in the film of a pigs head on a stick which immediately makes you think lord of the flies. There is a lot of lord of the flies. There is a lot of heart of darkness and by extension, coppolas apocalypse now. Also, this reminded me of a strange movie about child soldiers called johnny mad dog which is very hallucinogenic, very moving, very upsetting and horrifying. I also saw echoes of other films. It is a film which is so kaleidoscopic that despite the fact it is about, on the one hand, child soldiers, it is about so much more. It is a coming of age story. It has this universal feel because you never know where the story is taking place or when. It is about the Group Dynamics between this cast fracture and splinter. The cast is made up of, on the one hand, people who have never done any on screen work before and on the other hand, at least one cast member was a regular on Hannah Montana and is the comic lead in kings of summer, which is my favourite coming of age movie, and who i did not recognise until halfway through the film. It has a score by mica levi, that is quite the most astonishing thing i have heard in years. It is brilliant, it is absolutely brilliant and indescribable. I was about to say defies description. Yes. The third choice, naomie harris, i love her. She is great. Tell me its great, please. Shes the best thing in it. It is a very nuts and bolts thriller with a nice set up. She is a rookie policeman, there is racism in the force. But the film is called black and blue, and she is told she has to decide between being black or blue. Now she is blue, she is a policewoman. Very early on she sees her colleagues committing an appalling act which she accidentally films on her body cam. Then they are after her and she is in an area in which the criminals are after her as well. She is on the run from everyone. Heres a clip. Hello . Its me, its me. The hell is going on . Is that blood . I need sugar. Look, i dont know whats going on but you cant be in here. Ive been shot. What . What do you mean . Can i use your phone . Who shot you . Can i use your phone . You got to go. I dont want no part to this. The police is riding around here all the time, theyll help you. It was the cops that shot me. Thats a great set up and she is really terrific and she elevates it from being essentially a nuts and bolts b movie thriller into being something more than that. Narratively theres a weird echo of do you remember that film set in belfast called 71, about a british squaddie who is suddenly separated and finds himself trapped in this area where he doesnt understand the situation, doesnt understand the landscape. It takes place over one night. This has a similar sort of claustrophobia to it. It is very efficiently put together, there are some very tense set pieces. As the narrative goes on, it becomes slightly more and more unbelievable and in the end it becomes rather ridiculous but all the way through it, you believe in her. Because you believe in her, you believe in the story. I am a real suckerfor a well executed picture. A well executed stripped down picture which is what this is. It may well be more at home on dvd or in streaming. I dont think it will be a huge cinema hit but i think she is really great and it is done efficiently by someone who understands. The director comes from a horror thriller background, and that is a great thing, thats a really good training ground, and i think she really elevates it to the next level. 0k, best out is probably something we all need to cheer us up in these dark times. 90 minutes of pure goodness, the shaun the sheep movie, farmageddon. I am a huge aardman fan anyway. Me too. Ijust smiled and laughed and giggled all the way through. It is a shaun the sheep movie with a kind of et twist. It doesnt matter what age you are, it is just so charming and funny and moving and made with real care and love, and i am a huge silent movie fan. There is no dialogue in it. So much is to do with silent movie humour. Incidentally, the combine harvester is a setup for a gag which i laughed about for about three minutes. Honestly, it will make everyone feel the world is a better place, it is so lovely. I think we should have that on prescription then, the whole nation. Really should, dont feel very well, see farmageddon you will feel better. Quick talk about dvds. Very quickly, brightburn did not take a huge amount of money in cinemas. It is a dark take on the superman origins myth. I do not know much about it and consequently i really enjoyed it. I like the idea of taking a story that people know quite well and flipping it. It is not the most original thing in the world, it takes a lot of influences from predecessor writing and also films, but i liked the strength of its convictions and it seemed to take itself seriously enough to work. It is a dark take on the superman origins myth. I know you have a certain fondness for superhero movies. Im certainly married to someone who loves all of that. That will be on our shelf. Exactly. But farmageddon, farmageddon, farmageddon. Double bill, farmageddon and monos, your mind will be blown. Thats my weekend sorted, thank you very much. Enjoy your cinema going, whatever you see. Really, really interesting week. Thanks for being with us, see you next time. Hello and welcome to breakfast withjon kay and sally nugent. Good morning. Heres a summary of todays main stories from bbc news. A fourth persons being questioned by police in relation to the deaths of 39 migrants found in a lorry container in essex.

Martin shipley began his amazing journey from Robin Hoods Bay in yorkshire in february. His wife maureen has been supporting him throughout the challenge, and has walked 1,000 miles herself. Theyve raised more than £10,000 for charity. What an amazing achievement. Before we go to sport, i will talk to you about a story we spoke about yesterday. That was the planned new facilities at st andrews clubhouse, and we have had a response from them, a little bit of clarification that i would like to share. They say, while there are still some yea rs say, while there are still some years away, the r and a say the facility is currently in use at st andrews are modern and well equipped changing rooms and they overlook the 18th green. The ladies who are using those rooms, they are all used by members, and they definitely are not using a portacabin. It isa it is a huge day at the Rugby World Cup today. Massive day for england, the semifinal weekend, england, cup today. Massive day for england, the semifinalweekend, england, new zealand today and well take on south Africa Tomorrow and to task in hand, though. The all blacks england have never actually beaten them world cup. That in itself is a scary prospect, especially when you consider new zealand have not lost a world cup since 2007. We thought today this was all he would going to be talking about but then we had some premier League Action last night with a little bit of history made, Leicester City thrashing southampton 9 0 and the biggest away win in premier League History but in terms of the overall record, it equals that record set by Manchester United against ipswich in 1995. Now, quiz who was the goalkeeper . Good question dont know. Bearing in mind to the goalkeeper was last night, it was Peter Schmeichel in 1995. Caspers dad. Family history asi 1995. Caspers dad. Family history as i say, we will be heading to japan ina as i say, we will be heading to japan in a moment. First, lets focus on that much. But first, the record for a premier league win was equalled last night as leicester thrashed southampton 9 0 at st marys. The win takes them above Manchester City to second in the table. Austin halewood reports. A night for the premier league purists, torrential rain on the south coast, a warning of the nightmare about to come. Because these visiting foxes pack one heck ofa these visiting foxes pack one heck of a bite. Soon enough, southampton we re of a bite. Soon enough, southampton were cut to pieces, ben chilwell finishing the move for leicester. And for the saints, a double blow, this tackle in the build up from Ryan Bertrand spotted by var, the fullback shown bread, southampton down to ten. After ten. And it only got worse. Much, much worse. I skoll for the foxes in the hampshire rain, two minutes later, they were in again, iuse two minutes later, they were in again, i use a perez hammering in the home fans already heading home. Lester knew a win would take them second and they were determined to get there with a bang. Perez got his second before of course jamie vardy joined the party. The foxes with five before half time. And in the second half, it was the same, pa rents second half, it was the same, parents with a hat trick before vardy got his second, the foxes running riot in southampton. Perhaps the pick of the goals came from James Maddison with this free kick. Before jamie va rdy James Maddison with this free kick. Before jamie vardy finished his hat trick from the spot, and made it nine, the biggest away win in premier League History, lester could not do another leicester, could they . Austin halewood, bbc news. We are just a couple of hours away from england rugbys biggest match for 12 years. Theyre taking on the mighty all blacks in the semifinals of the Rugby World Cup injapan. Theyve never beaten new zealand in the competition. 0ur Sports Editor dan roan is in yokohama for us now. We have just been talking about this. Dan, the all blacks havent lost a match at the world cup since 2007, so how do england beat them . Im sure their fans think this is the side to do it. I think possibly yes, absolutely, because england have been in decent form at the world cup. Their injuries have cleared up as well, they are pretty much close to full strength. They we re much close to full strength. They were pretty good against australia, wont they, last weekend in the quarterfinal, scoring 40 points against them, so they could not wish for a better build up to this monumental clash. Any game against the all blacks especial when you add to it the tantalising incentive of reaching the World Cup Final itself, it really does take on epic proportions. Thousands of supporters are making their way to yokohama stadium behind we of course for the game. Im joined by stadium behind we of course for the game. Imjoined by mark, tim, an all black fan as well. Mark, tell me what it means to be here for this occasion. The most special thing i have done in my life and lucky to be here following england and it has been amazing, the japanese have been amazing, the event is amazing and i have loved every minute. You are quite happy to watch them watching this but before them is much the aussies. And you are here for this as well. We are capable of winning the world cup. Tim, do you agree . I think it will be a good game but i think it will be a good game but i think the all blacks are so strong and they have the strength up front and they have the strength up front and they have got the skill out wide, they can turn any opportunity into points and scoring and i would expect them win, not comfortably but i would expect them to win and i hope it is a good game. Id and detecting an english accent in your voice. I was born in england but i have been in new zealand for 20 years and i was at the world cup in new zealand and i expect them to ta ke new zealand and i expect them to take the trophy away this time and hopefully three times when you have won it, you can keep it, cant you . Isnt that how it works . If you win this today will make up for being beaten in the cricket world cup a few months by england . Technically, we did not lose, i think it was a draw. Talking about the trophy. Yes, no, we will make up for that, england are coming back to tour soon in new zealand so it will be a quick return. You are one of tens of thousands of fans from england who have made their way here so what has it been like to be part of this year injapan, the first time in asia. Special. You can tell the japanese have embraced it and made you feel so have embraced it and made you feel so welcome. It has been the most embracing country i have been two and a sporting spectacle, phenomenal. What does it do, you think, for the sport back home of england could be in the final since 2007, first time . Rugby at home is growing and this would help. It is the verb the best thing since 2003. Tim, what would it be like backin 2003. Tim, what would it be like back in new zealand. What are these occasions mean to your country . Rugby is huge, the national sport, the whole country gets behind it and everyone watches it and they would be so excited. They would expect the team to win, they are that good that they expect them to win every time they expect them to win every time they go out and play. The level of commitment those guys have is amazing. Incredibly fit, incredibly skilful. Gents, thank you for your time and have a great day, a special occasion here in yokohama, england lost to new zealand by one point last year but maybe this time it could go the other way. We will soon find out, thank you, speak to you later. You are not really a new zealand fan if you do not have an inflata ble zealand fan if you do not have an inflatable kiwi on your head. Well, that wins heart of the day, anyway. Well, that wins hat of the day, anyway. For the first time in 12 years, the Great Britain Rugby League Lions will take to the pitch this morning. You can watch them play tonga in hamilton in new zealand on bbc two from 8 oclock. Captainjames graham will earn his 50th cap, making him only the fourth british player to reach that landmark. It looks as though Lewis Hamilton may have to wait until next weekend to secure his sixth formula one world title after struggling in second practice for tomorrows mexican grand prix. Ferraris Sebastian Vettel topped the time sheets, and he was almost a second quicker than hamilton, who could only manage fifth. The briton needs at least a third place finish and 14 points more than his Mercedes Team mate Valtteri Bottas to claim the title. Scottish boxerjosh taylor takes on the usas Regis Prograis tonight, bidding to become the unified super lightweight world champion. The pair weighed in yesterday, but the american was 1 ounce over the 10 stone limit, so he dropped his briefs to make the weight. Thankfully, a towel was on hand. No problems for taylor, who made the weight with his pants on. Both the ibf and wba titles are on the line. Hopefully everyone will have their clothes on. Every ounce counts. Every ounce matters back to our main story. The deaths of 39 migrants discovered in a lorry in essex this week has highlighted the lengths people will go to to come to the uk. Making the journey can involve paying thousands of pounds to smuggling gangs and being vulnerable to human traffickers. Mimi vu is an independent anti trafficking expert based in Ho Chi Minh City in vietnam. In Ho Chi Minh City in vietnam. Mimijoins us now. Thank you so much forjoining us. What has been the reaction to this story is more developed . A lot of the details are still unclear but, you know, what is obvious is that 39 people have died in terrible, terrible circumstances. Well, i think it is quite shocking for the vietnamese. Trafficking is not something that is new here. Just because there is the largest trafficking trays of vietnamese is to china and so that is something were used hearing about but what the country and people are not used to hearing about is the trafficking of vietnamese to europe or the uk because most of the people who do go only come from a handful of provinces and what has changed about this story is that there is actually a face, you know, the face of the young woman and the last text m essa 9 es young woman and the last Text Messages she sent to her mother. She isa messages she sent to her mother. She is a potential victim, it has not been verified yet, but there is a fear that not just her been verified yet, but there is a fear that notjust her but other vietnamese were also in the truck. But for the vietnamese, this is a culture and a country that is based around family. You do everything, you sacrifice everything for your child and your child sacrifice is everything for the family and so those last Text Messages that she wrote to her mother, you know, calling out for her mother and basically, you know, she knew she was dying and she was giving out her address basically so that in the hopes that when she was found, but her body would be sent back to vietnam so her parents could conduct a proper burial. It is something very visceral that has touched every Single Person in this country because you can relate, this could because you can relate, this could be your daughter, your sister, your best friend. They are notjust numbers or abstract people anymore. As you say, there is still details to be confirmed and verified and all of those people to be identified. What are the families waiting for news, waiting for identification, told the bbc yesterday that they paid £30,000 for a young person to try to get to the uk one of the families. But is a huge amount of money here but in vietnam, it isnt even more massive of money. Yeah. Could you put it into some sort of perspective for us. In vietnam, what is not worth, £30,000 . |j perspective for us. In vietnam, what is not worth, £30,000 . I mean, that is, 30 years of salary for someone living in a rural area. Maybe even more. £30,000 is not highest number i have heard being paid to get smuggled into the uk or europe. I have seen and heard and interviewed people who have paid as high as 50,000 dollars to go and they continue to incur debt on the journey. So it is an astronomical sum but it is a song that for pa rents sum but it is a song that for parents who take up a loan from loan sharks orfor parents parents who take up a loan from loan sharks or for parents to send their child over or to go themselves, for them it is worth it because they believe that this is the best way for them or their child to have a better future. To make for them or their child to have a betterfuture. To make enough money to then send back home to the family so to then send back home to the family so that the family back in vietnam can have a better future. Clearly there are enormous risks. But in that Family Decision would be made, the calculation would be made, but the calculation would be made, but the risks were outweighed by the potential benefits, notjust to that individual but, as you keep saying, to the family . Absolutely, absolutely. Again, vietnam is a very family centric culture, and everything is done for the family. Pa rents everything is done for the family. Parents sacrificed their children, children sacrifice for parents. Pa rents children sacrifice for parents. Parents sacrificed for children. But in these situations, the only people who benefit other traffickers and the smugglers. The dream is that you send, parents send their child overseas so that the child will then earn a living doing nails, for example, in the uk. And once the debt is paid off, they will be able to start sending money home, and that money will then be used to build a house or buy a new motorbike or sent the younger children to school. So it is all done, it is communal living, almost. Thank you so much for your insight this morning. I think whatever happens and whatever details are confirmed in the next few days, it has opened everybodys eyes to something we we re everybodys eyes to something we were not fully aware of. More rain to come and forecast, it has been fairly relentless overnight. Amber weather warnings in force over south wales. General weather warnings, the lowest tier denoting you need to be aware we are going to see more wet weather. It is pushing in from the south west across wales and into the north of england, and behind it, this area of low pressure bringing a scattering of showers into the far north of scotland. The wet weather will slowly start to sink south and east and we will really split the country into three. Starting off cloudy, getting drizzly, incredibly mild into the south east, 15 or 16 degrees. That wet weather will slowly push its way towards the london area by the end of the afternoon. That frontal system will slowly drift south and east. Behind it, temperatures really falling away. We keep those showers going into the far north west. The blue tones descending right across the country asa descending right across the country as a northerly wind kicks in, so it is all change for tomorrow, quite literally all change. Because, yes, a chilly start and we will see some sunshine, but also, all change on the clock front. Tonight is the night we actually put the clocks back. Great news, because we get an extra hour in bed, and great news because it will be dry, settled and sunny for most of us, as you can see quite clearly. Lots of sunshine and forecast on sunday. A scattering of showers into the final. But those could continue to stay pretty wintry, across the tops of higher ground. Just remember, it stays dry and settled, cooler for all, ground. Just remember, it stays dry and settled, coolerfor all, top temperatures 9 13. That is betting thatis temperatures 9 13. That is betting that is to continue into the week ahead. Lots of dry weather and the forecast. I can hear you saying, hurray, but it will be cooler for everybody. Its time now for all the latest Technology News with click. Every single day we upload 4 million hours of video to youtube. We send 682 million tweets. We post over 67 million instagram pictures. 4. 4 billion of us use the internet. And collectively, we create 2. 5 exabytes, that is 2. 5 million tb or 2. 5 quintillion bytes of data every single day. And a significant proportion of all of that data, searches, social media, video streaming, goes through here. This is telehouse north, one of the most important parts of the internet backbone. It is one of four buildings here in london full of computers, cables, cooling equipment, and sheer geekery. The internet was built on many earlier ideas but the big one happens exactly 50 years ago this week. The work had origins in 1969 when the American Defence department, specifically the advanced Research Projects agency, decided it needed a network to connect about a dozen University Computer systems together in order to promote sharing of information and acceleration of research and Artificial Intelligence. And so they promoted the design and development of a packet switch network which they call arpanet. October 29, 1969, at 10 30 in the evening, the first message was sent. A computer at the university of california in los angeles sent a word to Stanford Research institute in San Francisco. The word was log in. Although the system crashed before they got to the g. Nevertheless those two nodes became hundreds and then thousands and then millions of connections. A Global Network of networks now consists of over 1. 2 million kilometres of submarine cables, sometimes laid as deep as Mount Everest is high. These connect massive server buildings and immeasurably more smaller cables connect those to individual computers. An interconnected network that was named the internet. Its important to understand that the internet is not the World Wide Web. The web is a great invention, its the way that data, webpages and services and documents are arranged, accessed and addressed but all of that sits on top of the hardware that is the internet. Which allows many, Many Networks to talk to each other in a really clever way. So say you want to watch a cute video of a cat. Well, your request to send a video shoots out of your device along regional networks, and races through telehouse north. And off across the globe to where the video is stored. And this is where is gets really clever. Sending the whole video in one go down one route will likely mean it will get stuck in traffic and take ages. So the video is torn apart, broken up, split into little packets and each one makes its own way back down different routes. And when they start arriving back at your device theyre juggled into the right order and once enough of the start of the video has arrived there as your cat as cute as you want it. My name is vint cerf, i am Vice President and chief evangelist at google but people know me as one of the co inventors of the internet. First of all, the good part, as the world wide we emergered, there was this enormous desire in the general population that had access to the internet to share information that they knew, and the World Wide Web was a tremendous facilitating means by which this could be done. Then in the 20005, we start to see the arrival of social networking. But those platforms have been essentially subverted by some people who like to use them as a way of injecting this information and disinformation into the system for either political or other nefarious purposes. So we have a tough problem ahead of us which is to try and help people distinguish good quality information from bad quality information. Some people hope that this could be done algorithmically, i am not as sanguine about that. Algorithmic detection, misinformation and disinformation is not so easy. The expectation that Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning and Computer Programming will somehow solve all these problems is an expectation which cant be fulfilled. Some people will say the country should have rules and enforceable rules that suppress misinformation and disinformation. Just make all that bad stuff go away. That particular practice has a very dark abusive side. It is called censorship which is intended to suppress access to information that the general public should have. There are regimes in the world that view any information which is critical of the regime is unacceptable and therefore should be censored. I actually think that the best tool we have for dealing with misinformation and disinformation is called wetware and its up here. Its exercise in what is called Critical Thinking where you ask questions like where did this information come from . Does it have corroborating references from legitimate sources . All those things should be top of mind, should be part of a Digital Literacy we need to have as we use these online technologies that are so global in scope. One thing that we know you will see, im sure you will see, is the expansion of the internet off the planet. Way back in 1998, we began asking ourselves, what would happen if we had a network that was the size of the solar system that could support Space Exploration . So we now have a set of protocols that together create an interplanetary backbone network. Its in operation beteween earth, mars and the International Space station. So you can anticipate there will be an evolving interplanetary backbone over the next several decades to support man and robotic exploration. This exhibition at londons barbican provides an insight into a data training. Huge numbers of pictures like these are needed to create artificially intelligent algorithms. From apple to anomaly, attempt to show visitors how something so simple to categorise, for example an apple is an apple, we all agree on that. But some concepts are a lot harder to explain. And the algorithms that we create have to deal with these abstract ideas. Even as a human it can be quite tricky to identify what an artist model or a creep may look like or in fact many of the concept set up here. Yet people are having to create these categories and then teach what they believe to be the right answers to the machines. Its a database that is organised into concepts and each of those concepts have pictures associated with them. But as you go further through the installation the concepts get more abstract, we move through apple pickers, other things having to do with apples but at the end we arrive at anomaly. The concept of an anomaly seems very abstract and yet abstract concepts like this are still built into technical system. You have a concept like a bad person i think for example, that indicates a certain worldview. The whole point of this is that we may think that al is all about technology, algorithms and statistics but actually it has human bias at the heart of it. Take the search term 0bama for instance. 0bama shows up like a figure in many many different categories. Its almost like a wheres waldo . kind of thing, labelled by the people that made the training set as good person, a bad person, a greedy person, a leader, a loser, what you find and i think what the example of 0bama speaks to, is that you have a kind of underlining bedrock of sludge and contradictions and absurdities quite often, that the ai systems are built on. To make this installation, i pretty much sat down and looked at 14 million images that were organised into tens of thousands of categories. The database that the installation is drawing from was made by researchers who went and scraped the internet so they collected tens of millions of pictures, they put those images together and then hired online workers on the amazon platform to sort those pictures into many, many thousands of categories. All of this leaves me feeling there are so many different ways of seeing the same thing and as a person you add some contextual and cultural judgement to that. But the question is, can we train a machine to do the same . And im afraid thats it for the shortcut of click this week, the full length version is up on iplayer and is waiting for you right now. This isjust a quick reminder you have less than one peak left to register for tickets for click live, its in dundee in scotland this year and if you can be there on november 19,
