Out of their compensation payments, following the case of Andy Malkinson who served 17 years for a crime he didnt commit. More than 50 people have been detained in pakistan for protesting against ex Prime Minister imran khans three Year Prison Sentence for corruption. Arrests were made in cities including peshawar, lahore and karachi. President Volodymyr Zelensky says a russian guided air bomb has hit a Blood Transfusion Centre in North Eastern ukraine. Now on bbc news, click. This week laras checking out some fast food sort of. Ive just been told to stand back as things might get messy. Dont know how messy. The Laundry Making Fast Fashion greener. And. Oh, no er, yeah, i think thats fast enough, thank you. Pizza baking, burger flipping, salad tossing. Over the years, weve seen food robots chop, fry and saute their way across the kitchen, saving us from one job at a time. Im such a lazy chef. I love eating the food but i want to make making it as quick as possible. See, i dont mind cooking, as long as you dont mind eating the same stuff every day. Well, i think theres a solution for both of our problems. Right lara over the years, weve seen more and more things become automated in the kitchen with various gadgets but now, the Robotic Kitchen may be upon us. This is the first to Market Robokitchen from moley robotics. Its a fully reliable product which you can put, actually, at your home or restaurant, everywhere, and its safe. Its time for lunch. What are you making me . Today, we actually want to make omelette. Choose the recipe. Its arm sets the temperature, grasps items and moves with Military Precision to deliver ingredients. Next operation is pour the egg. And it knows how much to measure . Look, its got the egg in the ladle and its just trying to get any extra bits off so it doesnt drip. Got to keep the kitchen clean, otherwise a human� s got to do that cleaning. Yes. Pre training with recipe data and sensors teaches the arm exact amounts and actions. And now, its taking the next implement. Hows it going to mix . In a slightly robotic way but its doing the job of course, you dont have to stand by and watch but for the first time, at least, its pretty mesmerising. Its off to get the cheese ah, it dropped a bit. Still a bit stuck to the tongs. Its going to shake that off and then, the tongs back there tidier than any human would ever be. Also, its designed for constantly cooking, so it can cook without stopping in the hotel or in senior house or in restaurant. I wants to serve for ten people at two oclock, for example, and it can Start Cooking to be able to serve ten or 15 people at two oclock. A human does still need to do the dishes, though. There we go so far, so good. And now, to try it. Lovely and the big difference between this and my own is this should turn out the same every time so far, ten chefs have contributed to over 50 recipes to the moley database, ranging from stir fries to curries, and more will be added when it becomes available in september. But there is still manual labour involved. A lot of chopped up vegetables here, which looks like a human has done most of the work already. Yes, but these vegetables and this container could be delivered from a Delivery Service as a pack for this particular recipe. Ok, so you could even avoid the chopping. Dishes like this Sweet Potato Soup can be personalised and, in future, youll be able to input your own recipes as well. I dont eat garlic or onion, so ive asked for it to be taken out. Though it does take the robot several days to get the new recipes right. Like anything, you know, you usually need time to perfect anything which you are making. Thats right. Practice makes perfect, even for robots. Now for the liquid. Thats stock, spiced coconut milk and some seasoning. Ah, time for salt and pepper. Laughs. That looks like such a clumsy stir it is impressive, but costing a whopping 50,000 quid, whos going to shell out for this spectacle . First of all, its a lot of place when the chef doesnt want to work for example, night shift, because nobody wants to sit down during the whole night and wait the order, you know . Or if he wants to have a nice dish in the middle of nowhere and, for example, a chef doesnt want to work there, he wants to work in the centre of london, so that could be also the good options. I can imagine it being used in the commercial space but i do struggle to imagine many people actually having it in their home. The strategy of the company is continue working on the machine and continue to make it more and more affordable so, one day, for sure, as we promised before, it will cost much less maybe 25, maybe 30k, so thats our goal. Thats still quite a jump from a standard kitchen and it will sometimes need a wipe down. Ive just been told to stand back as things might get messy. Dont know how messy. I normally make more than that, to be fair. For me, its been totally effortless, but the real proof is not in the pudding, but in this soup. Mmm delicious oh, its got a bit of a kick to it. Mmm, yeah, its really good. Very well blended by the robot and the blender. Yeah, and the chef who create this recipe. And the Software Engineer that trained the robot what to do theres more people involved in the making of this soup than id have thought. Good, though spencer now, then, the race is on not on the race track, but in our city centres. See, lots of companies are vying to lead the way in remote controlled cars full sized ones, this is with tests being carried out in the uk, estonia, the usa and germany, where Alasdair Keane has been behind the wheel. Alasdair this car might look like its moving on its own, but the secret behind it is a team of drivers based in an office on the other side of berlin. The idea behind vay is that in a city, you wont need to own a car simply order one to be delivered to you whenever you need it. With vay app, then, the car is being remotely driven by the teledriver to the customer, so the customer doesnt need to search for the car. Just get into the car on the drivers seat, drive themselves to the destination and, at the destination, they just get out without the need to search for parking lot, etc. Theyjust get out because the teledriver can then take over control until it drives the vehicle to the next customers. That took us about 30 minutes to get here. This is a telestation, where they drive the cars as they move all over the city of berlin. And in a television first, theyre going to let me have a shot. Alina is one of the drivers. Shes moving a car around the streets of berlin, controlled from here. As i prepare to take over the wheel, i cant help wondering if its easy to forget youre in control of a car. It looks just like a normal car. The Steering Wheel has all the buttons that i recognise but, of course, theres this big red button. Exactly. What does it do . Thats an additional Safety Measure which vay implemented in case something happens with the session, then the teledriver is trained to react to that by pressing the brake very hard and at the same time, the emergency button, which basically will also bring the vehicle to a safe stop. So, thats me now in drive. You have full control. 0k. Foot off the brake. Yeah. And were starting to move forward. There we are. Ifeel like im getting very close to these cones. Yeah. 0h its very strange, the spatial awareness of where the cones are. Yeah, its something that you have to get used to. Yeah. Perhaps my Driving Reputation came before me but while i was behind the wheel, there was a safety driver, just in case things didnt go to plan. So, chris in the car is telling me to take my time. Yeah. At this point, ifeel like im speeding around the track but the car is going less than iokm h. Just as im getting confident. Oh, no i think i have a lot more training to do before i get let loose on the roads. Drivers here go through hours of training, including theory and practical. Controlling these cars relies on 4g and a signal between the car and the driver. We all, of course, have been there, where weve not been able to get a signal for whatever were doing. What happens if one of these cars loses a signal . Its a very good question. What we have built is like that, as you know from your private experience, that some Network Providers in this corner have better quality than the others, so what were doing, we have redundancies, meaning were not only relying on one network carrier, we have, like, four multiple carriers, so if one falls, we still have three and so on. And in the unlikely scenario that all drops, the vehicle detects this in real time and comes to a safe stop. And then, depending whether they recover, we can resume operation. In hamburg in the north of germany, vay are the First Company in the eu to have permission to run this tech on the roads with nobody in the car. You can imagine seeing a vehicle on public streets and theres no one inside. People, like, their reactions vary from disbelief to enthusiasm and excitement, and what we have learned is that they actually trust this technology when they understand theres actually a human that controls this vehicle and not a computer. And i think this is, like, very important because it also shows the opportunity and, like, paving the way towards an autonomous future which we believe in. There are still hurdles to overcome not least Building Trust in this tech. But as connectivity gets better, we could be seeing more remote controlled cars on our roads in no time. And now, its time for a look at this weeks tech news. X, formerly known as twitter, is facing a bill from local authorities in San Francisco after an Unauthorised X was placed on the roof of the companys headquarters. Authorities said that the company did not have permission to put up the sign and will be charged for the cost of its installation and its removal. The Scottish Island of 0rkney has become the first place in the uk to have mail delivered by drones. Thejoint operation by royal mail and Drone Company skyports will initially run for three months but has the potential to become permanent, due to the islands landscape. All Three Islands are within close proximity so we can use something called extended visual line of sight flying so, effectively, you rely on people track to see eyes and ears of the pilots flying the drone. Youtube has announced an expansion of tools for its short video platform youtube shorts. Some of the features include adding effects and stickers, going live and collab, which allows a creator to record a video with another video next to it. And nasa is launching its first on demand streaming Service Called nasa plus. The platform will allow viewers to watch live coverage and enjoy new series on nasa missions. Nasa plus will take off later in the year. Lara in february this year, a devastating earthquake hit turkey. But whats been barely reported is that google was operating an earthquake Early Warning system, which it claims had sent out millions of alerts to people before the quake hit. However, a bbc investigation failed to find evidence that this warning was actually received by most turkish people in the earthquake zone. Anna foster in turkey and James Clayton in San Francisco have more. James it was one of the most deadly earthquakes in modern times. Februarys quake happened in the middle of the night. Many people died where they were sleeping, in their beds. 50,000 people were killed. However, there was an earthquake Warning System run by google in turkey, and the Company Claims millions of people got a warning before this earthquake. It works on any Android Phone thats about 80 of all of the phones in turkey and this is googles explainer on how it works. Android phones have these tiny accelerometers built into them which can sense earthquakes. People will now be able to have their phones become part of this network of mini seismometers looking for earthquakes around the world. We call this the. When the phone detects an earthquake, it sends a message back to googles servers. When enough phones do this, google can pinpoint the epicentre and send out an earthquake warning. And so youll hear it go. Phone chimes. It looks like this, and it says, drop, coverand hold. So its pretty loud. Its pretty loud. This is micah berman, the product manager for the system at google. If it was on do not disturb, it would override that . Exactly the same behaviour that you just heard, no matter what state your phone is in. You should get that warning . Yes. The further you are from the earthquake, the more notice the system can give you, up to around a minute enough time to try and find a safer location. So our system did activate for both of the major events in turkey, as well as for a number of aftershocks. Heres my colleague anna foster, whod been reporting on the ground from the earthquake zone. I was really puzzled by that claim, because i was here on the ground in turkey in the hours and the days and the weeks after the earthquake. And nobody had ever mentioned in any interview with me receiving an alert before the earthquake. So we decided to go to three cities that had been impacted adana, osmaniye and iskenderun. I simply asked people whether theyd received an alert. Everyone youre about to hear from has an Android Phone. So when the earthquake happened, the first one that happened in the night, did you get this alert on your phone at the time of the earthquake . No. And what about. . So it looks like that and it makes a sound. Phone chimes. No. | no . No, no, no. No . No. We spoke to dozens of people on the streets. Most people hadnt even heard of googles system. No, no. No . Funda lost 25 members of herfamily, including her sister and nephews. So you didnt receive any alert, nothing on your phone . In all three cities, despite our attempts, we didnt find one person, not one, who got a warning for the first earthquake. I put our findings to google. How sure are you that, firstly, it did fire and secondly that it actually got to people during this earthquake . Im as sure as we can be that the system activated and that we did send alerts. Its possible, you know, that given all of the. Like, the massive impact of the first event that this just quietly happened in the background while users were really paying attention to other things. At the end of the day, i think thats probably the most likely explanation, that users were focused on Something Else and might not even have noticed if they got the alert. Have you spoken to anyone who got it . I have not, no, though i dont speak turkish and, you know, im not in turkey so. I would love to. Has google spoken to anyone . I dont know. Harold tobin is a professor of Earth Sciences and director of the Pacific North west seismic network. These systems are extremely new, right . Theyre at the cutting edge of whats possible. I feel that if you are delivering an essential sort of. Life safety, Public Safety piece of information, then you have a responsibility to be transparent about how it works and how well it works. We cant be sure that no one got this alert, but we can be sure that many people didnt. There was no Blanket Warning a warning that could have saved lives. Now, we know that fast fashion isnt great for the planet, yet many stores still sell trendy cheap clothes that are here today and gone tomorrow. But there are ways to make this trillion dollar Clothing Industry more sustainable, as Francesca Hashemi has been finding out. Millions of tonnes of clothes are sent to landfill every year, making the industry a major contributor of Greenhouse Gases and a massive consumer of a finite resource water. Fashion is the second most polluting industry after aviation and shipping. It accounts for 10 of Global Carbon emissions, and its very water intensive. From Manufacturing Textiles for Cotton T Shirts to washing or dry cleaning clothes, the industry relies heavily on h20. But some people are trying to change that. Here at acs, we also use water, were large laundry. We believe that, in the next 12 months, we will get to a stage where we wont take any water from the mains. This fashion hub rents, resells repairs and sanitises pre loved clothes from the high street or luxury brands. But how sustainable is it . Even though we might be working with some of these fast Fashion Brands, were wanting them to help change their consumer mindset, so in being able to rent or get second hand fashion, rather than this kind of model of just consuming constantly. So working with these brands, we are helping them to increase their sustainability credentials, and were stopping garments from ending up in landfill. The way in which we handle the clothes on site and how we are carbon neutral, how we have gone through a process to minimise our Co2 Emissions on ourjourney to net zero, on our reduction of water, we know that how we handle them here is a much more Sustainable Way than what we all do in our own homes. Talking of water, the entire operation once used about 20,000 litres of the stuff every day. About 50 , thats 10,000 or 11,000 litres, that was used in laundry. But theyve managed to halve this by using something scotland has plenty of. Acs now harvests rainwater from the roof, then recycles it to use for cleaning and preparing clothes for customers. What we have is, theres three pipes. The first pipe is actually the reused water, so this is the water from the laundry, and what its done is, at the end of one of the final cycles, its actually pumped out, and you can see along the pipe, and pumped into this tank. The computer inside the laundry knows when the next cycle starts. It activates the pump that pumps the water out the tank, brings it up and brings it in at that inlet there. The second pipe that you see is actually the reused water from the coolant system. Theres a tank in the floor above thats a hot tank, and that water is actually pumped in, activated by the computer in the laundry machine. Thats actually hot water in there, and what it does is, it means that we dont have to heat it and then the next one is for cold washes, and that water is the rainwater harvesting, which is actually, again, stored in a tank upstairs. So all the water collected for use on the laundry, its not always clean if youre reusing it. How do you deal with that . You can see the waste pipe there, and the waste pipe goes through this very large filter, and it takes all the microplastics out. And the waste water then goes into the normal drainage system, the mains, and then what its done is process the way that normal water would be processed. The team partnered with the university of west of scotland to create a digital twin of their Water Consumption, and some of their findings are pretty interesting. So at the moment, acs utilises 5. 5 of the roof area, which is about 1,000 litres of water per day. If it utilised the whole of the roof area, it would be able to collect around 18,000 litres per day. This would almost be sufficient not to utilise anything from external sources. The entire operation being self sufficient in terms of their Water Consumption is aspirational and, of course, variable. But its also a great example of what one clothing hub is doing to increase their sustainability credentials. But in this fast moving fashion economy, what more could the industry do . In terms of technology, we need a lot more data in the fashion industry. Currently, the majority of Fashion Brands will only publish tier one suppliers on their website, so the people who manufacture and make the clothes. When it comes to tier two, which is things like the making of the fabric, and then tier three, which is your raw materials, the majority of brands dont know where thats coming from. And i think, moving forward, thats the type of data were going to need to be capturing in order to avoid greenwashing. Thats all weve got time for. Thanks for watching. Well be back next week. See you. Hello. After saturdays weather, ill tell you straight away that the outlook is looking significantly better for many parts of the uk over the coming days. Even sunday will bring a delightful start to the day, with some sunshine. Now, storm antoni swept across southern parts of the uk, but affected mostly the southwest in terms of the severe gales. Its still clipping early in the morning, east anglia and the south east. So more of a breeze here, perhaps a few showers through the early hours and maybe through the morning, into the afternoon, but for the vast majority of us, its a quiet start to the day. These are the temperatures around 8 00 in the morning, a little fresh out there, ten in the lowlands of scotland, 12 or 13 in the south. So through the morning and the afternoon, a bit of a breeze there on that lincolnshire coastline and into the south east and east anglia. Showers will develop through the course of the morning, into the afternoon. But many of us should miss the showers and, actually, compared to what weve had, its not going to be bad at all. Temperatures still a little low, around 16 18 degrees, maybe 20 or 21 in the south east. But the good news is that sunday evening is looking fine and it should be a calm end to the weekend. How about monday . Well, High Pressure is trying to push in that weather. Its trying to settle down. But this little area of low pressure is also sneaking in at the same time. Now, this isnt gale force winds, but it is a fair amount of cloud and perhaps some rain reaching south Western Parts of the country. I dont think its going to be particularly heavy. And actually, for many of us, mondays looking absolutely fine across scotland, all through Northern England and into central parts of britain as well. Sunny spells and just a few showers. Now, lets take a look at that jet stream, because its all about the jet stream, isnt it . Its sort of meandering across the atlantic, pushing the weather systems. But look what happens through the middle to end of the week. It sort of diverts to the north and it opens up the doors to warmer air. A little more settled weather coming in from the south. Now, were not expecting anything particularly extreme in terms of the temperatures, but they are going to rise, perhaps mid or high 20s. Doesnt always mean itll be sunny, but at least better compared to what weve had. Bye bye. Good morning. Welcome to breakfast with Rachel Burden and ben thompson. Our headlines today people who are wrongly imprisoned will no longer have their living costs taken out of their compensation payments, following the case of Andy Malkinson, who served 17 years for a crime he didnt commit. I thought to pay these people for doing what they are doing to me is the most sickening abhorrent, repugnant thing eye could imagine. President zelensky says russia has bombed a Blood Transfusion Centre in ukraine, describing the attack as a war crime. After 60 years of trying, england will play a netball World Cup Final today. Australia stand between them and the sports biggest prize
