Milderfrom the north. Ahead of that, frost and fog patches before it turns wet and windy later on. Hello. This is bbc news. Well be taking a look at tomorrow mornings papers in a moment. First, the headlines the woman killed in the London Bridge attack has been named as 23 year old saskia jones, a graduate of cambridge university. Her family said she was funny and kind and will leave a huge void in their lives. The universitys vice chancellor said he is devastated. This is an attack on our community, in many ways, and it was intended as such. It was meant to produce a form of terror and sadness, and it has clearly done that. New images reveal the bravery of members of the public tackling the convicted terrorist on the bridge and in the hall where his attack began. You get andy and lukasz starting a fightback. They used fire extinguishers, they used chairs, they used these narwhal tusks ripped off the wall in the heat of the moment, and they took the game back to the knifeman. Police say theyve arrested a man in stoke on trent following a review of the existing licence conditions of convicted terrorism offenders. It is not believed to be connected to the London Bridge attack. Maltas Prime Minister, joseph muscat, says he will resign following mass protests over the murder of an anti corru ption journalist. Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. With me are the independents deputy political editor, rob merrick, and Katherine Forster from the sunday times. Many of tomorrows front pages are already in. The victims of the London Bridge attack dominate the front of the metro. It says the pairjust wanted to make the world a better place. The mirror say the victims were failed by what it calls a cash strapped justice system. The guardian says that borisjohnson is being accused of exploiting the attack by turning it into an election issue. Meanwhile, the telegraph says that a close associate of the attacker, usman khan, has become the first convicted terrorist to be recalled to prison. And thats the new eu commisioner, ursula von der leyen, on the top of the ft. The paper says her Spending Priorities will be top of her agenda. Lets start of our chat. We will start with the front of the metro. Anybody looking at that picture, you feel so sad. It is horrendous. Anybody who dies before their time, it is always dreadful, but this is unspeakable. These two very young people with their whole lives ahead of them, jack was 25, saskia was 23, both graduates at cambridge, both had everything ahead of them, and it is particularly poignant because they had both chosen to go out of their way to help and do what they could for prisoners and people that most of society completely turned their back on, do not want to know about, to elses problem, but they we re about, to elses problem, but they were keen on helping the underdog, trying to do what they could, and sadly they have paid with their lives, and it is terribly sad. They seem so lives, and it is terribly sad. They seem so similarwhen lives, and it is terribly sad. They seem so similar when we read about them. Jack worked with inmates at a prison, and saskia volunteered, they both had the same passion, jacks father said he was the champion of the underdog. Lets have a different look at this terrible tragedy. The guardian is bringing the election into this, the pm is accused of exploiting the deaths, in what way . This links directly to jacks father, who urged politicians not to try and make Political Capital out of it. There is an election in 11 days time but the Prime Minister we nt days time but the Prime Minister went on tv this morning, saying the attack had been carried out because of a lefty government, he wrote an article for the newspaper saying only a conservative majority government could keep people safe. He appears to have done exactly what he has been urged not to. Furthermore he tells blatant untruths about what may or may not have led to the tragedy in terms of sentencing policies, he said he had been left with no option but to release khan, which is untrue. He claimed he had long been arguing for prisoners to serve their full sentences, he had only been prevented by a hung parliament, completely untrue, this is the first we have heard of it. Before that he was arguing for prisoners to serve two thirds of their sentences. When i heard that this morning, i only had the jacks father was not watching. I want to pick on the point that he had to be released, he said it was untrue. We spoke to a qc yesterday who said he had to be released because that was the law, because his sentence had been changed, so in what way are you saying it was not true . It was a decision of the court to overturn the original judgment that decision of the court to overturn the originaljudgment that he should serve an indeterminate sentence, but there were other decisions available to the court. There were extended sentences that could be imposed and we re sentences that could be imposed and were not. So it is simply not as simple as that. There is a strong argument that it is nothing to do with sentencing. It seems astonishing that the court made that ruling but then that was several yea rs ruling but then that was several years ago, but the parole board were not then involved when he was released last year, and he went straight from a high securityjail to being out. He had a tag, but he had not. He had gone from a very secure prison to being free effectively under some controls. It is astonishing that that can happen, and now we hear that borisjohnson is saying probably about 7k, a precise but vague number, convicted terrorists have been freed and now they have to investigate what is happening to them and apparently there are a number of other people whose term will be up shortly. There is so much confusion, a lot has been lost in translation as to the process of this release, the rehabilitation. Some of it the pa role rehabilitation. Some of it the parole board sometimes have a role, depending on whether it is a determinate or indeterminate sentence. We heard from the independent body of probation officers and they were saying they had carried out all the checks. We are learning a lot. But is this a risky move for notjust mrjohnson but alsojeremy risky move for notjust mrjohnson but also Jeremy Corbyn to risky move for notjust mrjohnson but alsoJeremy Corbyn to make it an election issue, to be talking about in this way . It is very risky the way the Prime Minister has done it. It is bound to be argued about, or the election is bound to intrude into arguments, the election is 11 days away in crime is a crucial issue, and i am so it is in his mind what happened two and a half years ago when we had terror attacks in the days leading up to the election, it was commonly agreed the arguments about funding cuts were on the up and that Jeremy Corbyn benefited from that because he was making the argument for higher spending, but there has to be a better way of having that argument. Then what we saw this morning, explicitly on a lefty government. We have all agreed it is very complicated issue. Lefty government. We have all agreed it is very complicated issuem lefty government. We have all agreed it is very complicated issue. It is interesting that we are hearing about toughening up sentences, longer sentences, but part of this issue as we have been finding out is the rehabilitation that takes place while they are in and the supervision once they leave and we are not hearing about that, ill we . Certainly, there have been very significant cuts in Prison Services are under massive. Lets turn into the independent. The blame game will 90, the independent. The blame game will go, it is unfortunate that it has been politicised so soon, but it is also inevitable, but both sides will fling blame, conservative cuts have been widespread and deep and will have had an effect, but then on the other hand you will have a lot of voters looking at jeremy other hand you will have a lot of voters looking atJeremy Corbyn and thinking, do we trust you as Prime Minister . You have been friendly towards quite a lot of terrorist organisations, do we want to put you in charge . A lot people would be unimpressed with both sides on this issue. Austerity . This is our story tonight. It is striking that this political row was going on but it is clear with the experts are siding, against the government, they are pointing to prison patient cuts. Yesterday we had a former crown prosecutor who said three years ago he personally warned the Prime Minister that there was no serious effort to de radicalised prisoners. He was not Prime Minister at the time. But he became Prime Minister. He was warned that that was being iuii. He was warned that that was being run. And according to this prosecutor there was no money. Today, we had a man who led a review of the threat in prisons from extremists for the government, he said most of the recommendations we re said most of the recommendations were condensed rather than properly implemented, and he had extraordinary criticism, he talks about crazy austerity cuts at the heart of it, the destruction of the prison and the Probation Service being at the heart of it, he said ministers reaped what they sowed. Do you have knowledge of some of those recommendations put forward . |j you have knowledge of some of those recommendations put forward . I am afraid i dont. We know probation have said, decimated, because it has been part privatised. Lets turn to the financial times. Been part privatised. Lets turn to the financialtimes. So, i did not know there were activist hedge funds but apparently they are, and one of them miss tci, and apparently the bosses saying, we will punish directors of companies if you dont disclose your Carbon Dioxide emissions, so he has warned Companies Like airbus, chartered communication, and we know these Big Companies never do anything because it is the right thing to do, they will always look at the bottom line, this is purely about money, but it just goes to show that Climate Change is going up peoples agenda and it is really starting now to effect more widely when companies are starting to think, this is really important, we need to Pay Attention to this because people feel strongly about this. I think it is great. Hopefully it will be the start of more. But the reasons for it are start of more. But the reasons for itare fairly. Start of more. But the reasons for it are fairly. Mercenary we think hedge funds are out to make a quick buck and not worry about the consequences, buck and not worry about the consequences, whether it means being an activist hedge fund means they are goody goody goodies were just ahead of the game in terms of calculating the consequences for companies if they have the spectre of Climate Change hanging over them, they are making investments that will not be worth what they are in the future because we have to stop burning fossil fuels, im not quite sure. It reminds me of what labour has been saying in the election campaign, so if there is a labour government, then they will expel they say from the Stock Exchange companies that are again failing to calculate their Climate Change emissions, failing to do anything about those emissions, they could be removed from the Stock Exchange entirely. Lets turn back to the guardian. Maltas pm said he will stand down, but people have been campaigning for this and do not have much confidence. We think we have got problems in this country he has an alleged involvement in the murder ofa an alleged involvement in the murder of a journalist. It is an extraordinary story. This guy has also been up to his neck in the Panama Papers which was the last scandal to hit mortar. So this has beena scandal to hit mortar. So this has been a long running story, the tragically blown up journalist. But this story has been getting closer to home for the government. Maltas richest man, property tycoon, he was charged with her murder, he wanted muscat. A couple of days ago his chief of staff resigned because of allegations made by this tycoon against him. And here we are, he is having to quit as well. There are many tributes paid to daphne. An incredibly brave woman who knowingly continued with her investigations, aware that she was at considerable risk and paid with her life. It was a car bomb over two years ago now, so a car bomb over two years ago now, so it has taken a long time for them to hopefully get the right man, but of course this goes all the way to the very top. Thats it for this hour. Dont forget you can see the front pages of the papers online on the bbc news website. Next on bbc news, its click. I lost my sight seven years ago. Navigating the world can feel like a huge challenge, even with my gorgeous guide dog, olga. I usually use my guide dog willow to get around, but today, were trying out a new device the wewalk smart cane. I think olgas a bit confused with the cane. She laughs. The device has a round sensor to detect obstacles. Ive paired it with my smartphone and airpods to send me directions. So my airpods pick up the information from my phone and the Navigation System reads it out to me. When we got there it said, starbucks now on your right. And, yeah. By then we could smell it anyway, couldnt we . When i was using the cane, it was always vibrating. Thats buzzing a lot. Is it . Yep. Yeah, the buzzing got really quick. So i knew that i was in front of something that was quite a large obstacle. This might be an improvement for some cane users, but, personally, ive found the feedback slightly overwhelming. I could imagine it could probably get quite difficult to detect whats important and whats not important. I was excited to show maisy an app named microsoft soundscape that uses 30 sound to point you in the right direction. You can hear the sound as if its around you and its like youre in the software almost. Phone facing southwest along world piazza. When youre tuned in to the app, it will name nearby shops and restaurants. It even highlights whats on the pavement. Is there bike parking in front of us . One useful tool is the ability to set an audio beacon, say, if you want to find your local supermarket. 65 metres west. Its making this tip tap sound. Tapping sounds help guide us in the right direction, although we did manage to walk past the shop door. I think you dont quite believe that its to the right of you. At least we had our guide dogs to help us find the entrance. At home, some of the simplest tech can actually be the most useful. Beeping. But big tech companies, like apple, google and amazon are also trying to make their Technology Better for people like me. Most of the time, i use my smartphone and apple watch. Its so great that it can connect to my apple tv and you can get it to play your favourite moments. Lots of smart speakers now have audiobook services. One new and particularly unusual audiobook is called unseen. Its the first ever audio comic book. When you hear this sound. That is so cool. Cover the word unseen in bold letters. Oh, amazing no one ever does that thats the typeface. Describing the pictures and each panel, which is the big part of comic books. I cant wait for unseens creator, chad allen, to release the next segment. I dont know who the hell you are. Imitates i do not know who the hell you are i was also excited to try a new device from Bristol Braille technology. This device that i have in front of me is called the canute and this is the very first ever several line braille display. It sounds like a typewriter using buttons at the base of the device, you can upload books, pdfs and documents. The multi line layout is great forfeeling diagrams. Its an easier and quicker way to read. Thats nice that you can use Something Like this and not have audio on constantly all the time. Are we reading braille . Yes. I was even more impressed with the next device we tried a pair of orcam smartglasses. These use a camera and Artificial Intelligence to read the text around you. And you can use touch, voice and gesture commands to change its settings. So what are you doing, maisie . So i have a magazine, and if i point ata line. Reads i always say that there are. Its reading it we surprised maisie with a book from one of her favourite authors. Kaitlyn dunnett. Cool the orcam tells you the time. The time is 3 29pm. Yay and can name who is standing in front of you. Of course, i wanted to see if we could get it to recognise maisie. The device does this by remembering the unique points of a persons face, a bit like a map. Maisie. Oh, yeah high five, blind girl high five. We also tried a new feature the ability to scan food product barcodes. This was a hit. Tomato cup a soup remember to hold your item about a foot above the counter top. Alexa, what am i holding . I was really excited to test the new amazon echo show feature. You hold a food item in front of the screen camera and move it around until the device tells you what the item is. It was difficult knowing whether the item was centre screen, and this threw up some less than accu rate results. Show me another side. It looks like vanilla coca cola. Oh, my god. Thats cool. I have done that so many times like, ive picked up cherry diet coke by mistake. Yeah we also have been told that that wasnt vanilla coca cola and just regular coca cola. You would have to really nail getting your snapshots correct to find this useful. It was so great to try all the technology throughout the day. The wider the choice of tech, the better for everyone. Not everything today was a complete success, but the impact that blind tech can have continues to surprise me. Im really excited about the future of accessibility tech. Some fantastic innovations there, spen, and one thing becoming clear in this programme isjust how much is out there enabling people to be more empowered and to live more independently. And for people with learning disabilities, for example, there are plenty of innovations to help them do just that. Paul has been to meet someone for whom the internet of things is helping to make life just that little bit more easy. This is adam. Adam has Downs Syndrome and lives in his own home, which includes some specially designed technology to allow him to live more independently. Here he is using a tablet that contains a range of bespoke applications to help him with tasks in everyday life. In this instance, cooking. So can you show me what youve got on here, adam . App sift three cups of plain flour into a big mixing bowl. Make a well in the centre of the flour. It shows step by step instructions with pictures. But the Technology Goes much further than just recipes. Its part of a project called connected living a partnership between the learning Disability Charity mencap and Telecoms Company vodafone. The platform utilises a range of technologies bundled together under one roof literally. App i am afraid. From smart home devices and iot based sensors to more simple reminders, to do lists and instructions. A lot of it is stuff that quite a lot of people are familiar with. Smart lighting is not a particularly new concept, smart locks are not a particularly new concept, but what we have done is we have packaged it altogether and put it into this user interface which has been tailored very specifically so it is user friendly and it is intuitive to use. We started off with a very, very long list of things these can be quite small things but things that people might want to achieve, and then we gave the list to vodafone and we said what are the Technological Solutions to that . We whittled it down to the things we felt and we heard were most commonly going to be of importance to people. Technology is in all our lives, really, at the moment nowadays and will continue to be so, so we want to make sure people with learning disabilities are not disadvantaged by not being able to access technology. It is designed to be customisable to each individual user, with the hardware and software tailored to their needs and personal abilities. App i am thirsty. The platform blends smart Home Technologies with things adam can use outside the home too, such as video calling a support worker if he needs assistance, or as a communication aid. Hi there, you all right . Yeah, you . Good. What would you do with the options on this screen . Ok, so you can tell them where you want to go. Which are your favourite . What do you like to do the most . App lets go to the pub. Sounds good to me. Is that good . Do you like that . Laughter. Thats good we like tech too there are 4. 1 Million People in the uk with learning disabilities who could use this, but also there are wider applications. If you think about people who go into homes as they get older, they still want to be independent, they still need their flexibility, this can help them. You and i, we want to be independent, we want to do our own thing and, actually, if technology can help people to do that, then it means that you have greater control, you are feeling more independent, and the amount of confidence that has really increased in people is fantastic. Most importantly of all, though, how does adam feel about his smart connected home . Supported, yeah. Mmm, supported. That was adam and his mum. Truly, truly lovely stuff. And we will continue to keep across all of this area of Inclusive Design and technology throughout the year, as we always do on click. This is the short version of this weeks click. The full version is waiting for you right now on iplayer. In it, you can see paul in iceland, looking at the design, manufacture and testing of the iconic prosthetic running blade. In the meantime, you can contact us with your thoughts of what youve seen on instagram, youtube, twitter and facebook. Thanks very much for watching and we will see you soon. Hello there. Its been a cold start to the new month. Theres some more frost on the way tonight, perhaps in different sorts of areas. There is more cloud spilling into Northern Ireland and scotland with patchy rain coming in. These are the temperatures by the end of the night, nowhere near as cold as last night, nowhere near as cold as last night in scotland but across widely for england and wales. A slight change in the weather because we are still underneath his coat area of high pressure, shifting southwards though allowing the mother air the cumin over the top of it bringing atla ntic cumin over the top of it bringing atlantic air. Some rain for the highlands and islands. Some of the cloud will push its way over the irish sea. Eventually with the sunshine hanging on after that frosty start. 6 7d once again, milder in northern scotland with the rain. Ahead of that rain though, the risk of patchy frost and fog before it turns milder, wetter and windier. This is bbc news.
