Labour system is the mother of all reforms because he hopes it will unleash a confidence and optimism in the Economic System which will unblock the problems which the country has. He wants to work pretty fast on that. And have the reforms which are controversial on the statute book, by september. But this is where we come to the old french problem. Will that triggered the protest on the streets which the opposition are predicting . We will have to see. In his favour, he came to power saying he would do this, he has a big mandate with his president ial vote and now this big majority in parliament. The auspices for this kind of reform could not be better, if not now, you might wonder, when . Hugh schofield, he looks like he is seeking a bit of shelter from the sunshine, like many people. It has been the warmest day of the year so far, quite a few places above 30 degrees. And a fair amount of sunshine, but more cloud in North Eastern scotland and more cloud in North Western scotland. 0utbreaks Cloud in North Western scotland. Outbreaks of rain, as well. The cloud associated with the Weather Front has been sitting in the same place all weekend. And it will continue to sit in the same place this evening and overnight. Further south it will be dry with clear spells. Temperatures dropping no lower than 19 and 20 in the towns and cities. Into tomorrow, the Weather Front is still in the same place in the north and north West Of Scotland. There will be lots of sunshine for england and wales, pretty hot in the south east, 32, maybe 33, cooler and fresher further north, the cooler weather will spread further south as we head into tuesday and wednesday. That is all for now. Hello. This is bbc news. The headlines the leader of kensington and Chelsea Borough Council has been defending the way the authority handled the Grenfell Tower tragedy. Councillor Nick Paget Brown insisted there was now a coordinated Relief Effort on the ground. But residents say they are unsatisfied with the councils reponse. Church services are taking place across the country today, to remember those affected by the blaze. The queens speech to parliament next year is to be cancelled to allow mps more time to scrutinise brexit legislation. Its been described as an unusual move. A rapidly spreading forest fire in Central Portugal has killed at least 62 people and injured dozens more. The portuguese government has declared three days of mourning. This now on bbc news its time for click. Ok, lets play. This week, were punching above our weight. Driving round the bend. And dropping gunk in a bucket. Right, lets see. Dragons . Check. Singing pirates . Check. 0rcs . Yup. All of which can only mean its time for e3, the worlds maddest Video Games Expo in the heart of downtown los angeles. This is where new games are launched and new hardware is lauded. Its always big, loud and bright but this year, for the first time, its notjust open to those who work in the games industry. 15,000 members of the public have also been allowed in, each paying up to, get this, 250 for a ticket. You do the maths. All of which means things have got a lot busier. Personally, it hasnt affected my enjoyment of the show at all. But the question is, are this years crop of announcements worth the wait . Now, how exciting e3 is very much depends on whether the big Console Manufacturers have any big announcements or not, and this year microsoft generated the most excitement by announcing a new console. And marc cieslak got hands on. Welcome to e3 2017. And with that xbox head honcho phil spencer kicked off the Xbox E3 Press event. Its a big year for xbox, as its announced a brand new console, code named scorpio, is now called. The xbox 0ne x. Cheering. Its high end spec includes six teraflops of graphics performance. That compares to the ps4 pros 4. 2. Its capable of Producing 4k High Dynamic Range visuals at 60 frames a second, as well as producing dolby atmos audio. All of this adds up to a whole lot of horsepower for a console. Its been billed as the most powerful console ever, but is raw computational grunt enough to shift sony from its number one position in the Console Market . In an attempt to do just that, a parade of 4k Resolution games assaulted the senses, including a peek at the latest addition to the popular assassins creed series. Set in egypt, assassins creed 0rigins. You throw grenades. Tomorrow, youll be throwing cars. The expendables terry crews brings the smackdown to crackdown 3. 0pen world, smash everything in sight destructo fest. As well as Family Friendly platformer super luckys tale. All of these games will play on the old xbox one and will play with 4k graphics enhancements on the new xbox 0ne x. But leading that 4k charge for the new machine, racer Forza Motorsport 7. And anthem, a new sci fi Exosuit Actioner from the creators of mass effect, bioware. And, weirdly, a 4k enhanced minecraft, one of the few games where high end Lighting Effects dont really seem that necessary. A strong line up, then, for the new xbox. But is it Strong Enough . Well, that was long and loud, but microsoft did show off 42 brand new games. Very little, though, in the way a Fan Favourites or franchise games like halo or gears of war. Some of the favourites that people know will be coming at some point. Halo, gears of war, we didnt even show today. Now, last month, i was at both of those studios looking at the amazing work that theyre doing. We were able to fill up this arena with great games without even bringing, like you said, two of the biggest franchises in gaming here. Is more power that important when bringing out a new machine . Nintendos done pretty well with its new machine, the switch, which is arguably the least powerful console on the market. The power is incredibly important to the most discerning premium customer. But also you want games like luckys tale. I mean, we showed minecraft running in ak, one of the biggest games on the planets going to be playable across our whole line up of consoles connecting all the people together. So its about having content for everybody. Here it is, the most powerful console that microsoft has ever made. We do know what it looks like. Its actually quite slimline. Its smaller than the old machine, the xbox 0ne s. And we do know how much its going to cost its going to cost £a49. And we know that its released on november 7th. But we dont know what games are like when you actually power the machine up, grab hold of a controller and play them on it. To find out that, i have to go over there. Ok, now you might think that my driving here is a little bit scrappy, but there is method to my madness. By damaging the car, i can see the additional level of detail its adding. You can see individual raindrops. There is an absolute smorgasbord of different Weather Effects going on here, all of them to show off what this machine is graphically capable of. The first time that ive played a game on the new xbox 0ne x and ive just played Forza Motorsport 7, which is probably the most recognisable of all the titles that are going to launch with this machine when it comes out later on this year. What can i say about it . Well, graphically, its absolutely fantastic. Its a beautiful game to look at, as you would expect as it has 4k Resolution. But is there more to the xbox 0ne x Thanjust Producing Games which have incredible graphics . That was marc and, interestingly, no talk of vr at microsoft, but, never fear, muhammad spen lee is here. You hit me the cool thing here is that this is an htc vive running without the usual cables trailing to a pc. Now this has, until recently, been very, very hard to do, because theres just too much of a delay between your movements and what you see in the headset when you dont use cables, and that results in much motion sickness. But display link has managed to cut the cords and use its own compression technology, and a 60 gigahertz transmitter on the headset to reduce the latency to less than five milliseconds. Right, next up, nintendos big announcements at e3, and kat hawkins has the details. Nintendos not had the best couple of years. Its last console, the wii u, failed to connect with the public, selling poorly. But with the release of the switch and its success as the fastest selling console in ninty history, crowds flocked to its booth at e3 this year. Nintendo doesnt do big Press Conferences any more, instead choosing to make its announcements via an online presentation. Fun and battle, always locked together. Last year the nintendo booth was all about one nintendo icon, zelda. But this year there are games aplenty. And a lot of this guy. Here we go, off the rails Super Mario 0dyssey sees him travelling the globe in a wild and ambitious title that relies a lot on mario throwing his cap about. So what weve got in this game is completely new. Marios able to throw his hat, just like that, pop on a rocket and accelerate away. And its notjust rockets. His hat has become a key game mechanic used to break bricks, collect coins, ride around on chain chomps and even inhabit the body of anything his headwear lands on. As one of nintendos most popular characters is mario the ace up switchs sleeve . Translation certainly that is the case. Notjust with mario but with a lot of other things as well. Weve heard from people who maybe havent played a nintendo system since the n64. Some havent played since the super nintendo, but they have those wonderful experiences from childhood and they see something in the Super Mario 0dyssey that will pull them back in, and thats a wonderful opportunity to bridge to a lot of new experiences that we are offering as well. Marios the star of the show again in another game, mario rabbids. Famously covetous of its characters, ninty has allowed another games company, ubisoft, to create this game, officially sanctioned by Gaming Legend shigeru miyamoto, mr mario himself. I said, whatever you do, dont try to make a jump game or a mario platformer, try to make a mario game that has never been made before. While its not unheard of for nintendo to work with other studios, it is amazing to see it handed so freely to one outside of japan. And there was lots more, including a kirby, metroid and one that got a lot of fans hearts racing, a pokemon rpg. But with no release date announced, we could be waiting awhile. Translation when will that come out . Well, id like to know that myself. With the switch taking main stage at this years nintendo event, it seems as though this is clearly their present and theirfuture. And as the switch has got portable capabilities, what does this mean in the long term for nintendos other hand held devices . Hello and welcome to the week in tech. It was the week that apples tim cook revealed the compa nys developing a self driving car system. Roaming charges ended for uk mobiles within the eu. Just make sure you read the small print following months of scandal and reports of sexism and harassment within the company, ubers ceo, travis kalanick, announced he will be taking a leave of absence. And a bt ad featuring Ryan Reynolds was banned after claims over its great value were found to be misleading by britains advertising watchdog. Sleep tracking device hello says goodbye. Despite raising £i. 9 million in crowdfunding, followed by a staggering 30 million further investment, its curtains down. A robot has been composing its own music. Researchers at Georgia Institute of technology have been working on shimon, the marimba playing bot. It uses deep learning to create its own works after having listened to over 500 tunes and millions of segments of sound from artists including the beatles and beethoven. And finally, ever thought fish dont hold enough power in this world . Well, tech artist neil mendozas latest work has created a solution. As smashy swims, hes tracked by a webcam with software calculating the velocity needed to translate his moves into powering the hammer. Apparently it empowers fish to break peoples stuff. Now although gaming is massive, the fact that they are video games operated by often quite complex controllers means that if you have a disability they are quite difficult to play. Kat has met up with one guy who has made it his mission to improve accessibility and make Games Playable for all. I received a challenge recently, come and play me at killer instinct. Fight on. It did not say if you dare, but it might as well have done, because as it turns out, ben is somewhat of a combo expert. Ok, now youre punishing me. I cannot do anything. Ben, have mercy. This is unbelievable. Just unbelievable. Ben has taken me out in about 20 seconds. I could have done it quicker than that if i did not screw up my inputs at one point. Were playing killer instinct, a five year old combat game. It is a big e sports title with players competing for millions of dollars each year but it is not only its popularity that makes this game stand out. There, kathleen has blocked low. The only reason i know she blocked low is because i heard that thunk sound that you heard there. Ben is relying on his hearing because he is blind, which makes this win even more impressive. If you throw a fireball it travels. And that rather satisfying Connection Sound at the other end, when it hits the opponent. When i say, do you realise youre fighting a guy who cannot see . They are like, no, i did not realise at all. They are like, how does this work . That starts conversations in itself about how games are and are not accessible. Youre passionate about taking that conversation further now . I think it needs to go further because gamers without sight are being left in the dust. Things like being able to tell your Friendly Team and your enemy team apart. Different footsteps. It can be done. It is not an impossibility. Audio only games have been around for many years. It is only now that sound designers are starting to harness the potential of modern hardware. I am now beginning to understand how crucial sound design is to accessible gaming. I was intrigued. Where do you even begin and what if the thing youre designing for is as iconic, visceral and downright scary as alien . I am at the bafta winning sound Design Studio creative assembly, getting a behind the scenes look at what went into the xenomorph of alien isolation. Metal creaks. There are bits of the game where the alien will be an event above the corridor and you will not know hes there apart from bits of slime that will drip down. The sort of thing we would do for that would be to drop handfuls of it into the bucket. Look at that, we have got Wallpaper Paste and porridge and we are creating the sound of an alien. Obviously the visuals are incredibly important but without sound, they become kind of. There is no weight to them. It is incredible to see the mess and extremes that went into the sound of the game. Creaking. It has got a good creak in it. No but despite all this, someone like ben would still struggle to play alien isolation. And the reason for that is the menus are not visible to him. Episodes, clips, gadgets, spencer kelly, about click. 0n the web, a Screen Reader speaks out the menu options. It took years of the internet before Accessibility Features like this became commonplace and it is still not 100 . And as for games consoles, currently blind gamers have to memorise the menus within games. That is what their real big barrier is. It is the middleware, the tools people use to make games, they are not compatible with the software that blind people use to operate technology. If that barrier could be removed, we will see a big increase in the amount of blind accessible games there are. Ian hamilton has produced Accessibility Guidelines for games developers. His mission is to make gaming more inclusive. Accessibilitys job will be done when people stop innovating with technology. There is always going to be some kind of new barrier that needs to be overcome. Ian has been working with people like ben for years but it is really now down to the Console Makers to bring about change. We want to make sure the games and consoles we build are accessible to any kind of player, whether it is somebody who has sight issues, hearing issues. We are working with apis with our controller, we announced co pilot mode, where two people can use two controllers to play one version of the game. If somebody maybe cannot use all of the buttons there. Microsoft is really leading the way now when it comes to accessibility for blind gamers. They have released a new Text To Speech api which means, for the first time, in game menus will be read out. Lets see what ben thinks about this news. If other developers, so sony, nintendo, anybody else, if they want to make their content more accessible using in game menus and spoken ui elements, that is brilliant. If i can buy a game on day one without having to worry about how much i am paying for it versus its accessibility, that would be ideal. Games, games and more ps4 games. Sony kicked off its playstation press event with a bang, thanks to a trailer from Developers Naughty dogs latest adventure, uncharted the lost legacy. You dont like anything. Thank you. Im slipping. The crowd certainly liked that sony made it snow in sunny la for robo dinosaur mash up horizon zero dawns expansion, frozen wilds. And everyones favourite, friendly neighbourhood spider man swung into action in a new game which features an innovative use of spideys athletic abilities and his web slinging. Hi. Is this the flight to newark . And unlike xbox, who did not even mention vr, playstation renewed its commitment to techno worlding goggles, sorry, virtual reality, by showing off a host of vr games, like platform adventure star child. Join me. And an utterly bonkers final fantasy vr fishing game. Final fantasy 15, monster of the deep. Playstation is riding high at the moment with its Ps4 Outselling its rival, the xbox 0ne. But with the super powerful xbox 0ne x on the horizon, will things like vr help sony to maintain its lead . I think that over the long term it really is an opportunity to create a new entertainment medium, but i do stress that it is over the long term. In the last six months to a year, we have seen a little bit of overhyping of the category out there. Certainly not by ourselves. We saw this as the start of a very long process of bringing vr into the mainstream. You will see lots more technology innovation. I think content makers, game makers and others, including folks making television programmes, they are really only starting to learn what the tools are to make really good vr content. Microsoft launched the xbox 0ne x yesterday. It is an enormously powerful machine. It sony in danger of being left behind in terms of producing the most powerful console out there . I think the consumer will have to look at both systems and make a comparison. Obviously there is a significant Price Differential between the two units, which plays somewhat towards our advantage and i also think that with Playstation 4 pro, you get some additional tangential benefits if youre interested in vr. Well, that was marc at sony, and now three more people playing video games. Actually, two playing games, and one watching a movie, all on the same screen. But depending on where you sit, you get a different view. The secret is actually in the special reflective screen, which only reflects the light from this projector straight back in this direction. That means no one else can see this. You can have a load of projectors all shining different stuff at the screen and each person only get that light reflected back. The result is ok but i could see traces of the other viewers images. Maybe there is a bit more work to do. There are a few things you can guarantee at e3 every year, bright lights, lots of noise, and lots of sequels, too. These are the Fan Favourites which seem to get a new iteration every 12 months. It has long been said that these franchises are in danger of getting repetitive, but this year, some franchises have thrown up a few surprises. Video games publishers, like movie studios, love a sequel. It is easy money. All you have to do is take your popular title, make a few tweaks to it and push out an annual refresh. Money in the bank. However, at this years e3, there are a couple of sequels which are having to work a little bit harder than usual. Time to show what youre made of, soldier. A good example is call of duty. Gone is the Fan PolarisingSci Fi Settings of the last couple of games and it has been replaced by the period in history which originally inspired this series, the second world war. Who needs ray guns, robots and Energy Shields . Ive got a rifle, a steel helmet and the determination to take this beachhead. The gameplay is chaotic, noisy, frantic. It is everything you want from cod. And that is it from click at e3. We are back in the us next week. In the meantime, you can follow us on twitter. And on facebook. Thanks for watching and we will see you soon. Its been the warmest day of the year so far. Temperatures into the 30s in places, and that warmth is going to be quite persistent through the week ahead, especially in southern areas, some the week ahead, especially in southern areas, some escape the week ahead, especially in southern areas, some escape from the warmth close to the coast, Refreshing Sea Breezes but also plenty of sunshine. In the north west, a band of rain and a Weather Front which has brought outbreaks of rain in the north West Of Scotland. The small chance in the evening of shower across east anglia and the south east driven by the heat, but most will stay dry. Temperatures at eight oclock around 26. We are likely to see some low cloud in North West England and the isle of man, maybe south west scotland, and north west scotland, still cloudy, much cooler, Northern Ireland ending the day fine with sunshine. In the evening we still have the Weather Front in the north West Of Scotland moving very slowly. Bringing some pulses of wet weather. Further south, dry, low cloud, and it will be quite a warm and muggy night especially in the towns and cities. The centre of london, maybe 19 20. Tomorrow, not much changes, the Weather Front in the far north, and away from here we have sunshine and the temperatures might climb further, 32, maybe 33 towards the south east and there is a slightly greater chance tomorrow of a few very isolated showers and thunderstorms. Through monday night the Weather Front makes progress south and there is fresh air to the north, but hot air will never be far away and we will still be in southern parts of the country very heart. Temperatures not farfrom southern parts of the country very heart. Temperatures not far from 30 degrees very hot. Cooler away from the south, and where the Weather Front sits, it could drive a few heavy downpours. Wednesday, some showers from the west, but we are still struggling to move the heat out of the way in southern areas we are out of the way in southern areas we a re close out of the way in southern areas we are close to 30 degrees, and always cooler towards the far north. It could be a very hot day in southern and eastern areas on thursday, fresher further north west and eve Ryo Ne Fresher further north west and everyone will turn fresher by next weekend. This is bbc news. The headlines at four oclock the leader of kensington and Chelsea Borough Council insists the local authority is helping victims of the grenfell fire. Councillor Nick Paget Brown said there was now a coordinated Relief Effort on the ground. By by the time i got there just after 3 30am on wednesday it was clear that no one local authority in london would be able to cope with the enormous challenges facing a huge number of displaced residents. Iam huge number of displaced residents. I am told the council is never in evidence, that was not my perception this morning. But the mayor of london, sadiq khan, says more needs to be done to help the community. They are showing a Community Coming together to grieve, but also a community frustrated and angry, not simply at the poor response in the days afterwards from the council and
