good morning. many of us have had a good days of rain from the showers and much—needed rainfall for gardens. the weekend does see something drier coming in progressively. still showers around for today and i will fill you in on all the details at around quarter to eight. it's saturday 11th may. our top story this morning. concerns over climate change might restrict the growth of flying in the uk, the government has admitted. a senior civil servant has said ministers may have to review aviation strategy, including plans to expand heathrow. the advisory committee on climate change recently said the uk's planned increase in aviation would need to be curbed to restrict c02. roger harrabin has more. flying is on the up and the government has been planning for it to continue to grow. what about climate change, you might ask? under current policy, industry will have to come more greenhouse gases so aviation can expand. but the government is now considering a plan to virtually eliminate emissions by 2050. and a civil servant has omitted in a letter to a green group that it may have to take noted advice from the independent climate change committee saying that although people could continue to fly while meeting climate change targets, it was not possible for aviation to keep on expanding. targets, it was not possible for aviation to keep on expandingm the end, i think the logic of this is completely inevitable. we know that we have to reduce our emissions urgently and radically and expanding them is going in the opposite direction. itjust does not make sense and i don't think the public wa nt to sense and i don't think the public want to see the government committing to a plan that is inconsistent with a safe and prosperous future for all of us. any policy change may affect controversial plans to expand heathrow. it definitely means the government will have to think hard about whether aviation can continue to grow at a time of what parliament calls a climate emergency. theresa may is expected to answer questions about her departure when she meets with conservative mps next week. the prime minister has promised to stand aside after the brexit withdrawal agreement passes through parliament, but is facing increasing pressure to go after disappointing local election results. 0ur political correspondent jessica parker can tell us more. you look a little peculiar. 0ur image of you looks odd but we sorted it out. just like that. good to see you. the issue around when theresa may will go is not an f, we know she is going. this bubbles along and every once in we talk about it more seriously. what is the latest twist? that is right. theresa may has said previously that she will go once the first phase, the divorce settlement of exit is done but some questioning as to when that may happen, when parliament will ratify such a deal and some wanted to set out a more unconditional timetable as a result. so graham brady, chair of the backbench 1922 committee has been backbench1922 committee has been speaking to a week in westminster and he says he understands to some extent her reticence on this issue. thank you very much for that. apologies for the technical gremlins which infected how you looked but we will sort that out and it won't be so will sort that out and it won't be so bad next time. we hope. we hope. and you can hear more of that interview with graham brady on westminster hour at 10pm tomorrow night on bbc radio 4. labour has announced plans to abolish the ‘youth rate' minimum wage and extend its real living wage of ten pounds per hour to under 18—year—olds. they say it will leave the average young worker more than £2,000 a year better off, but the federation of small businesses has accused politicians of competing tit—for—tat over wage increases. the united nations says the houthi rebel group in yemen is planning to withdraw its forces from three key ports over the coming days, in the first major step since a ceasefire was agreed in december. the un general overseeing the deal said the rebels intended to redeploy their forces over four days from hodeidah, salif and ras—issa. the yemeni information minister has dismissed the houthi offer as misleading. president trump says us—china relations remain "very strong" despite washington escalating the trade war between the two countries. the united states has begun the process of extending tariffs to almost all chinese goods after more than doubling them on many other products yesterday. beijing described the negotiations as "honest" and "constructive" and confirmed that further talks would take place. last night's episode of the tv panel show, have i got news for you, was pulled by the bbc after it was decided that it risked falling foul of 0fcom's pre—european election rules. the pre—recorded episode featured change uk acting leader mp heidi allen. in a statement the bbc said: "the bbc has specific editorial guidelines that apply during election periods." "because of this it would be inappropriate to feature political party leaders on entertainment programmes during this short election period, which does not allow for equal representation to be achieved." in repsonse hat trick productions, which makes the show, said: "we tried everything we could to get the bbc to broadcast it". broadcasting regulator 0fcom's election rules state, among other things, that neither candidates in elections, nor representatives of those candidates, are allowed to "act as news presenters, interviewers or presenters of any type of programme during the election period". an event aiming to reunite families separated between mexico and the united states has been cancelled after organisers said the american authorities refused to give permission. the gathering, called "hugs not walls", allowed families to meet in an area between frontier crossings near the texas city of el paso. the organisers have blamed president trump for the cancellation. david willis reports. along the dusty border that separates mexico from the united states, families are separated. migrants who enter the united states illegally would face arrest if they attempted to cross here, an annual event offered some respite and a brief chance of reunion, until now. called hugs not walls, families met at this canal between the mexican state of chihuahua and the american state of texas. but us border patrol has denied permits, and this weekend's event have been cancelled. translation: this is the real impact of trump's policies on the border. the agencies we have worked with have been inflexible. maria was one of many who had registered to take part in the event. translation: i would have liked to have seen the family on mother's day, but now it is not possible on mother's day. i have to accept, i can't cross the border, ijust have to accept things. thousands of migrants have arrived in mexico in recent months up most of them from central american nations where poverty and violence is rampant. president trump has declared them "threat to national security", and it was announced that $1.5 billion has been allocated from the us defence department to help fund his much—vaunted wall along the southern border. a boycott of social media companies may be the only way to force them to take down images of child abuse, that's the view of the uk's most senior police officer with responsibility for child protection. chief constable simon bailey argues that platforms have failed in their responsibility to keep children safe and, for the likes of facebook, even substantial fines are "little more than a drop in the ocean". simon armitage has been named as the new poet laureate, a role that lasts 10 years. he has pledged to give away his salary of $6,000 a year. he says he wants to use the role to ensure poetry embraces major global issues, including climate change. here's our arts editor, will gompertz. i wanted to offer my daughter a taste of the glazier, a sense of the world being pinned in place by a diamond like cold. simon armitage reading the present, his opponent about climate change. reading the present, his opponent about climate changelj reading the present, his opponent about climate change. i think it is absolutely essential that poetry responds to that issue and i'd like there to be some kind of platform or competition or award that recognises those themes and topics. time in the brain cells sweating like a nail—bomb, trouble with the heartbeat spitting like a sten gun, cut to the chase, pick up the pace; no such thing as a walkabout fun—run, what, simon, do you think the role of poetry is in 2019, contemporary society? my feeling is that it is more valuable and more relevant than it has ever been in this world that we live in, which is a very confused and confusing place — over—information, over—communication — that poetry is time out from that. did it cross your mind even for a moment when you were offered the post to say, actually, i don't think this is one at this stage, for a white male. maybe somebody from a different point of view or background would be better for this role at this moment? i come from a sort of an outside position. i've got no formal education in english literature at all. i understand, to a lesser extent, what it means to come from outside the establishment, even if i have arrived at a certain established position. time now is ten minutes past six and we will have the weather coming up for the weekend and michael be here with all the news from sport. and simon armitage will be with us after nine this morning. in just 12 days time voters will be asked to elect 73 representatives into the european parliament. the delay in a brexit deal being decided means the uk is obliged to take part in the european elections on the 23rd may. tim muffet has been to grimsby, which overwhelmingly voted to leave the eu, to see what businesses and residents think about next week's vote. gutted. that's how john gutted. that's howjohn feels about the uk's dissipation in the european elections. i think it's absolutely disgraceful and i think we should have been out now. will you take pa rt have been out now. will you take part in the elections? no. what is the point of voting when that is not what we want to do. this is the alfred and will be smoke house in grimsby. the way we traditionally smoked haddock and salmon is unchanged for centuries. the tannins and the flavours within the fabric of the building are part of that taste. when it comes to the european elections, for some employees there is also a whiff of anger. elections, for some employees there is also a whiff of angerlj elections, for some employees there is also a whiff of anger. i don't think we should be in europe in the first place. it is a waste of time and a waste of money. in the 2016 referendum, grimsby was one of the most pro brexit parts of the uk. 70% of those who voted, did so to leave the eu. for this company, of those who voted, did so to leave the eu. forthis company, eu of those who voted, did so to leave the eu. for this company, eu rules and regulations play an important role. we have a protected geographic indication and that is something thatis indication and that is something that is given not easily by europe. things like, ham and champagne. in lincolnshire there is only one protected name and that is grimsby traditional smoked fish and it took several years to get that. how do you feel we will take part in the european elections? we do need to be engaged. if we stay in, and there is every chance we may, we want someone in there who will represent our interests. the fishing industry in grimsby dates back over 1000 years. the legend has it that the town ‘s name came from a danish fisherman named grimm who settled here. today it lies within a european conceptual. they have not delivered on brexit. it isjust a big circle whether common man is not being listened to. those who voted to remain will be more serious this time. do you think there has been a change since the last european election because of the referendum? yes. i don't really know about europe, ijust yes. i don't really know about europe, i just know yes. i don't really know about europe, ijust know about brexit and what we were supposed to get and what we were supposed to get and what we were supposed to get and what we did not get. this constituency elects six meps. last time it picked two from labour, three from ukip and one conservative. this time they will be up conservative. this time they will be up against english democrats, liberal democrats, change uk, the green party, the yorkshire party and the brexit party. confused. you don't know what direction to look in. it is probably not in everybody's face as it should be.|j don't care. i'm not interested. can't be fixed and all that, anyway. if brexit has made some more engaged with politics, it is had the opposite effect with others. political changes across the north sea leave many here cold. you can find out more about who is running in the european elections on the bbc news website. helen's here with a look at this morning's weather. we have had much rainfall. we needed those showers to water the gardens. not everyone likes the sunshine but it looks more promising this weekend. still some showers around. a northerly breeze, not so warm. but it will gradually turn drier and warmer. low it will gradually turn drier and warmer. low pressure moving it will gradually turn drier and warmer. low pressure moving away and high pressure slipping in. we have a bit of a northerly breeze, never a warm direction for the uk but very clea n, warm direction for the uk but very clean, crisp airaround. some warm direction for the uk but very clean, crisp air around. some frost in the north—west of scotland. by this afternoon, plenty of sunshine. more than yesterday. very few showers into the central lowlands. northern ireland, predominantly cloudy in the last few days, northern england much drier. mostly dry into the show was as intense. the outside chance of a thunderstorm and not as widespread. for most of us are and not as widespread. for most of us are fairly promising day. 0vernight, under the clear skies, colder more widely. a frost across the scottish glades and temperatures elsewhere close to freezing under the reach of high pressure because of the air is colder than you would expect. we can't offer the northerly airflow however so gradually things will warm up. it will be chilly first thing in the morning, some mist and fog around but it please add eight or nine o'clock and then we get the sunshine and tomorrow's temperatures that do not look much higher but actually because the winds are lighter i think it will feel warmer tomorrow. next week we will keep the high pressure around. having seen lots of rain and temperatures below par this week, next week warmer south—westerly ‘s, much drier weather because we're sat underneath the area of high pressure. four or five days of mostly dry weather however, as i mentioned earlier, we have this weather system just drifting towards the north of scotland so not plain saving for all. quite widely into the midteens. it looks like wednesday, possibly the warmest day of the week. temperatures getting towards the 20 mark, perhaps 21—22. not a heat wave given it has been pretty chilly, we will now have a period of more settled weather but not today with heavy showers around just not as widely and not as many intense ones. next week is looking quite nice. time now for this week's film review with mark kermode and ben brown. hello, and welcome to the film review on bbc news. and taking us through this week's cinema releases is mark kermode. so mark, what do we have got this week? something for everyone, hopefully. we have the hustle, which is a new take on a familiar story. we have pokemon: pikachu detective — i know you're a huge fan. high life, a science fiction film directed by claire denis. that a was very telling look. i know you're a huge fan of the hustle! did you see dirty rotten scoundrels? yeah. funny, not really. that was already a remake. now we get another version of the same story, in which we have a gender flip. so now we have rebel wilson, who is a low level scam artist, who meets anne hathaway's much more upmarket con woman on a train. they are both headed to a similar destination. their paths cross. they are forced against their will to work together through a strange mixture of coincidence and blackmail. and what they will end up doing is working together, but also against each other in a competition. here's a clip. i work alone. i get it. but what you're not getting is that a girl like me can make it real uncomfortable for you in this town. itjust takes one phone call. hello, interpol? tell me, penny. why are women more suited to the con than men? because we're used to faking it? it comes down to one universal truth. no man will ever believe a woman is smarter than he is. we'll always be underestimated, and that is what we use. does this mean you're going to teach me? i'm teaching you now. yes! wait, what was that last part? i couldn't hear you, you were talking into the ocean. i'm loving anne hathaway's very posh english accent. it's a terrible english accent! which is weird because she can do great accents, but it's kind of ear—scraping. here is the thing — when comedy doesn't work, it is like the worst thing to happen. particularly when a film's been made almost with gaps in the dialogue for the laughter to happen. and the strange thing with this movie is — its two stars who i really like who are really funny and really sharp in other movies, and it is a story that has been done a couple of times before. but what happens is there's laughs in the first 5—6 minutes, and you think, "this is great, i can turn my brain off". and then suddenly, it all stops. and there is like 90 minutes of arid, desert — tumbleweeds blowing through the auditorium as gag after gag just fails to land. there is nothing like being in a pretty packed cinema and watching a comedyjust suffocating, just sucking the air out of it. it's one of the unfunniest mainstream comedies i've seen in a long time. sometimes mainstream comedy, i'll find stuff gross or offensive, or annoying, but this was just completely dead. you have a test, don't you? six laughs? six laughs. did it get any laughs out of you? what is weird is that in the first five minutes, there was a couple of parts i thought, "this is fine — two laughs". but then — finished. as i said, comedy is really hard, and i think it comes down to directing. you and i were speaking before we came on air about how sometimes a movie that bad can get. it's because a script can look funny, the cast can looks funny, the setup can look funny — but when you actually get it into the editing room, it is all to do with timing. is the script funny though, or is itjust the directing? you know... i would like to say that the script is funny, except now that i'm thinking of it, i can't think of a single funny line in it. so the script is awful, and the direction is awful. it is terrible. detective pikachu? it isn't terrible. so i'm not the target audience for a pokemon movie. noram i! this has been hailed as — this sounds like damning with faint praise — it's been hailed as the best—reviewed live action film adaptation of a video game, which is pretty damn specific, frankly. but actually, it's pretty good. the story is that you have a young man who has to team up with pikachu, played by ryan reynolds, in order to follow the trail of his father, following a tragedy. and it takes place in this future city in which pokemon and humans live side—by—side, but there is still an underground wargame going on. one of the reasons it works is that ryan reynolds is basically doing a much more pg orfamily—friendly version of the character that he did to some extent in deadpool. there's a certain amount of the live action animation interface — do you remember who framed roger rabbit? remember the first time you ever saw, that it was astonishing, what they were doing with it? actually the live action animation stuff works really well here. actually, it is designed really nicely. some of the cityscapes look — dare i say it — a little bit blade runner—y. and for someone who has absolutely nothing invested in the idea of watching a film based on pokemon go, ifound myself laughing — i laughed more times in this than in the whole of the hustle in the first ten minutes of it. it's a little bit shambolic and a little bit ricocheting in terms of the plot, but i enjoyed myself and nobody was more surprised than me because i had thought at the beginning of the week, "i'm going to like the hustle, i'm going to endure detective pikachu". it was completely the other way around. life is full of surprises. it really is, and good for it. so is the cinema. high life — i'm rather intrigued by this, actually. it's a sci—fi drama, convicts sent into space, part of a social engineering experiment. it's a science fiction film directed by claire denis who made trouble every day. funny enough, his does have a connection to trouble every day, because at one point claire denis was thinking of vincent gallo as a lead for it. as you said, it is — this strange cargo freight—like spaceship which is heading towards a black hole. there is some form of social experiment going on. because the story is told nonlinearly, we are told information out piecemeal. an awful lot of the film is to do with you having to put together what order the story is in, how all the characters fit together. what we know is that robert pattinson is on board and he leads this kindke of monk—life celibate existence. juliette binoche is the doctor who is running strange reproductive experiments. as they move towards the black hole, the crew starts to fall apart. they all start to fragment, and it becomes a sort of existential film in which outer space is really inner space. here's a clip. do you have the baby dog? i had to leave it. why didn't you take it? we could have kept it. we couldn't have kept it. i wanted dog so bad. you know what? step away from the door. i've got to clean myself, i've got to disinfect. he'lldie in there. it is cruelty! what do you know about cruelty? you don't know anything about it. i have to clean — i have to disinfect myself. step away from the door. move away from the door! get out. i love the, "what do you know about cruelty? you don't know anything about it." whenever you see this type of science fiction film, you automatically think about things like solaris, which is the perfect embodiment of outer space and inner space. and black holes have been something that science fiction has used since the discovery of black holes. we recently saw films like interstellar, and there is that idea that if you move towards an abyss, it will reflect yourtself back to you. it is the case that if you try and do a simple linear version of what happens in the story, it doesn't make a whole lot of sense. what i liked about it was that, as i was watching it, i found some of it frustrating and some of it really mesmerising. i found some of it a bit chilling. afterwards, ifound myself sifting through individual fragments of the narrative and finding connections with claire denis' work that i hadn't initially seen. the first thing is — it is a film you need to give time. second thing — this is a very good cast — i think robert pattinson is really good. ijust take great pleasure in looking back at the twilight movies and looking back at the amount of sniffiness they got from mainstream critics. and when you look at the two key players in the twilight movies, they have forged paths where they have sought out proper film—makers who make challenging movies. they have used their high profile to work in projects that could really benefit from that high—profile involvement. and they are both willing to take risks. i think pattinson — i have always been a fan of him. if you look at him in david cronenberg's cosmopolis, a strange, deep and tortured movie, he is great in it. i think is really great in this. i don't pretend to understand what the whole film is about. there are things in it which are ludicrous, but i don't mind any of them because i think the film is reaching for something which it occasionally manages to grab. i find it hard to believe you didn't understand what it was about. i thought you knew everything! what's the best 0ut? have you seen eighth grade? yes, i really loved it. isn't it great? tender and beautiful. directorial debut of bo burnham — doesn't it look like a film made by someone who's been making films all their life? the anna meredith score is great, really gets into the head of its central character. but the most important thing is — both you and i are nothing like the central character, but didn't you feel the depiction of the anguish of being a 13—year—old was universal? absolutely. it felt like me as a 13—year—old. yeah, which is astonishing! when you think of it — it's13—year—old growing up facing problems that neither you or i know anything about on a first—hand level, it puts you right in the middle. i loved it. highly recommended. best dvd? the favourite is out on dvd. we should always remember that the dvd and home viewing market is enormous, particularly compared to cinemas. the favourite was a big winner at awards season, and rightly so. many people will be seeing it for the first time now. it is a historical drama, but it's the least historical drama i remember seeing. and anna meredith, who does the score for eighth grade — some of her experimental music turns up in the favourite, so the two are connected. i enjoyed that one a lot as well, also very highly recommended. thank you very much, that is it for this week. thanks for watching and goodbye. hello, this is breakfast with charlie stayt and tina daheley. good morning. here's a summary of today's main stories from bbc news. concerns over climate change might restrict the growth of flying in the uk, the government has admitted. a senior civil servant has said ministers may have to review its aviation strategy to curb carbon emissions — including plans to expand heathrow. the department for transport says that heathrow expansion would "provide a massive economic boost" to the uk while still observing "environmental obligations". theresa may is expected to answer questions about her departure when she meets with conservative mps next week. the prime minister has promised to stand aside after the brexit withdrawal agreement passes through parliament, but is facing increasing pressure to go after disappointing local election results. the chairman of the 1922 committee of conservative mps, sir graham brady, says he understands her tactics: i don't think it is about an intention of staying indefinitely as prime minister or leader of the conservative party. the reticence is the concern that by promising to go ona the concern that by promising to go on a certain timetable may make it less likely that she would secure parliamentary approval for the withdrawal agreement rather than more likely. and you can hear more of that interview with graham brady on westminster hour at 10pm tomorrow night on bbc radio 4. labour has announced plans to abolish the ‘youth rate' minimum wage and extend its real living wage of ten pounds per hour to under 18—year—olds. they say it will leave the average young worker more than £2,000 a year better off, but the federation of small businesses has accused politicians of competing tit—for—tat over wage increases. the united nations says the houthi rebel group in yemen is planning to withdraw its forces from three key ports over the coming days, in the first major step since a ceasefire was agreed in december. the un general overseeing the deal said the rebels intended to redeploy their forces over four days. the yemeni information minister has dismissed the houthi offer as misleading. president trump says us—china relations remain "very strong" despite washington escalating the trade war between the two countries. the united states has begun the process of extending tariffs to almost all chinese goods after more than doubling them on many other products yesterday. beijing described the negotiations as "honest" and "constructive" and confirmed that further talks would take place. a boycott of social media companies may be the only way to force them to take down images of child abuse, that's the view of the uk's most senior police officer with responsibility for child protection. chief constable simon bailey argues that platforms have failed in their responsibility to keep children safe and, for the likes of facebook, even substantial fines are "little more than a drop in the ocean". fly—tipping has increased by almost 40% in the past five years according to councils in england. the local government association said nobody convicted of fly—tipping since 2014 had been given the maximum penalty of a 50,000 pound fine, or a year in prison because of funding pressures. the government says they've strengthened local authorities' enforcement powers and made it easier for vehicles suspected of being used for fly—tipping to be stopped, searched and seized. those are the top stories. mike's here with the sport. lei nster leinster meet saracens in the pinnacle of european club rugby. very ha rd to pinnacle of european club rugby. very hard to call this one. they both have the top try scorers in the league so it is a matter of who makes the fewest mistakes. both teams have an extraordinary record in this competition as well. so two european giants meet in newcastle later. leinster are the defending champions and they're hoping to lift the trophy for a record fifth time. saracens have won all eight of their matches, in this competition coming into the final — and they're aiming for their third title in four years. we have a load of respect for lei nster we have a load of respect for leinster and the quality of the player that they have stop it is stacked with british lines and international players. it is obvious that the experience that they have and we have some big match experience ourselves and i think that's why everyone is so excited. when you go for match ups across the board, both teams are full of internationals and if there is an overseas player he is normally 18 international as well. i think it is a fantastic testimony to both clubs that we have both reached the final and everyone is looking forward to it. well, the second tier competition was decided last night — and an all—french affair was won by clermont auvergne, who comfortably beat la rochelle 36—16, with scotland scrum—half greg laidlaw kicking 18 points, and wesley fofana, scoring the last of their three tries. that's a record—equalling, third challenge cup title for clermont. tottenham manager mauricio pochettino says he would be "stupid", to stay at the club without a clear plan for the future. he's been in charge for five years now and he says he'll be looking for assurances from chairman daniel levy this summer, that spurs are serious about building on their recent success — they're into the champions league final, of course. the race for promotion, to the premier league takes centre stage today, with the first legs of the championship play—off semi—finals. aston villa face west brom at lunchtime, while derby take on a leeds side, who for much of the season, looked to be heading for automatic promotion. we focused on ourselves and we mustn't forget the fact that we have been here twice, the fact that they finished points above us in the league. they are a strong team who looked a certainty to be promoted at one point. the competition is great and they dropped out that i still expect a great challenge. we prepare as we would for anyone, we watch them and focus on what we can do. the scottish premiership has already been decided, but third place is still up for grabs with a europa league place at stake — and aberdeen moved into position, last night after a 2—1win over hearts. greg stewart scored the decisive goal. lewis hamilton will be one of the men to catch, in qualifying this afternoon for the spanish grand prix. his mercedes, looks like the fastest car, at the circuit de catalunya, but it's his teammate, and championship leader valtteri bottas, who set the pace in friday practice. mercedes have finished 1—2, in all four races, so far this season. matt wallace, has a one shot lead, going into the third round, this of the british masters golf. the englishman hasn't dropped a single shot in his two rounds in southport, and leads on 12 under par ahead of compatriot ross fisher — and sweden's niklas lemke, who came close to equalling the european record for consecutive birdies. but felljust one short, with eight in a row. it's the last 16, of rugby league's challenge cup this weekend. three teams already into the quarterfinals. halifax and wakefield are joined by hull, who eased past castleford tigers 28—12 in the all—superleague game. three more matches today. the pick of them sees bradford bulls aiming to upset leeds rhinos. there'll be no mouthwatering semi—final match—up in madrid, between novak djokovic and roger federer because the 20—time grand slam champion, was knocked out by dominic team. —— thiem. federer had match points, before losing in three sets. rafa nadal will play stefanos tsitsipas in the other semi—final. and simona halep, remains on course, to reclaim the world number one spot, after beating belinda bencic, to reach the final, where she'll play kiki bertens. victory would take her back above naomi 0saka, in the rankings. after a washout on wednesday, england will be hoping for sun in southampton today, for the second one—dayer against pakistan. james vince could press his case, for a world cup spot on his home ground, ifjason roy fails to recover from a stomach injury. first and foremost try and win the series and loco say, if i do get another opportunity try to stake my claim and do as well as i can. if i can end up in the world cup squad, that would be great. afghanistan won their world cup warm—up match against scotland, edging to a two—run victory in a rain—affected one—dayer in edinburgh. that meant defeat for scotland's new coach shane burger, in his first game in charge. the world cup starts at the end of this month. when it comes to british sporting success stories over the last decade, taekwondo is right up there. have either review been inspired get into the rink? not tae kwon do, but certainly kickboxing. but that was about 20 years ago for me. brits have won 0lympic and world championship gold medals in this korean martial art and this coming week, the world championships are coming to manchester. so i've been to take a few kicks and punches from the british stars in training. britain's tae kwon do athletes standing taller than ever before, especially as they now have one of the world ‘s tallest martial artists who is six foot nine. he is only 21 but is mere presence can take you to kick higher but it is also easy to ta ke to kick higher but it is also easy to take me down. the british team are hoping to make the most of home advantage this week and include a defending world champion. bianca knocked me over with a new technique. it's a new hair flick. it does not work for me. the best thing kids love about it is that you can literally shout and scream and kick each other. you can pretend that you area each other. you can pretend that you are a superhero with superpower in your leg and hands. that is the joy of being a kid, expressing yourself and going free. and you still have that in a child in you when you are older. this appeal along with their championship success means that people attending tae kwon do classes has risen to 17,000. the sport hopes that hosting the world championship in manchester will give it another step. london 2012, the home olympics when that was my baptism of fire. i managed to get a bronze medal there and super excited to be back in the uk competing in front of an electric home crowd. our achievements are getting better and better and now forjust a relatively small team we are smashing it out of the park. the beginning it all starts with a game of tag. proof that this career martial art is more technique than strength. the speed of reaction in tae kwon do is like in no other sport. goodness. i am bamboozled. flexibility and agility helps you score points. i am good at the present. body to body and then your leg comes out of nowhere and hits the person in the back of the head. soa the person in the back of the head. so a big shout. that is the important part. a pig is good but the shout is more important. very good. very good. i scared myself. and if you spend before kicking like a donkey you get an extra point. and seeing it up close means you get the full force. down and out. i know people think i went down to easy there but the explosive power. it just sends you to the floor. and the quy just sends you to the floor. and the guy you were sparring with, he is six foot nine?! exactly. it is mostly six foot nine?! exactly. it is m ostly a n six foot nine?! exactly. it is mostly an advantage with his kicks and his ridge but against agile players it can be an issue. you can watch it on the bbc on the red button online from wednesday. see if britain can continue their success. idid like britain can continue their success. i did like your sound effect at the end. it shout. goodbye, we will see you later on. if you go to the hairdressers for a trim you would expect to sit in front of a mirror, at least to ensure they do not take too much of the top. in one salon that is not an option. they offer a different experience instead. they want customers to engage with modern art. this hairdressers in south london may look normal but inside and you will realise there is actually something a bit different about it. customers are getting their haircut without any mirrors in front of them so you cannot see the progress of your haircut. however, there is a good reason for this. customers are expected to contemplate modern art and design exhibitions instead. because this places part hair salon, pa rt because this places part hair salon, part art ellery. no time for small talk about plans for the weekend. led by a curator, the staff hold regular meetings to agree things to discuss with customers. your first experience of getting your hair cut in front of art is the weirdest thing in the world. i was anxious and scared about what my hair would end up looking like. in fact, the hairdressers themselves are finite graduates. another aim of the shot is to give struggling artists a steady income. it is nice to be engaged in that sort of conversation, compared with the sort of typical chat you might have in a more conventional salon. the shop is the brainchild of this artist, who also cuts hair. it has been getting people who come for a haircut who would normally not go to an art gallery. for that reason, the salon has attracted funding to display art from public bodies. has attracted funding to display art from public bodieslj has attracted funding to display art from public bodies. i don't go to exhibitions in london. it was nice to just exhibitions in london. it was nice tojust sit exhibitions in london. it was nice to just sit there and stare for a really long time at the strokes. i never sit down for that long and stare at anything. the business was a p°p‘up stare at anything. the business was a pop—up shop for four years and in that time it has already posted 50 exhibitions. now in a new permanent home it hopes it can entice more people in for an unusual encounter with i assume you do get to see it in the end. it's a nice idea. time to look at the weather for the weekend. it is not a bad looking weekend with sunshine to be found. lovely sunrise here in north yorkshire. a bit of mist and fog around but it does not ta ke mist and fog around but it does not take long to clear this time of year. the reason we say goodbye to low pressure and allow high pressure in so we do need the rain but we have had a good dose from the showers and we will not be without showers and we will not be without showers today, we have already had quite a few in eastern areas, but they will be more limited today in their intensity and how widespread they. scotland has been quite wet in they. scotland has been quite wet in the last couple of days, particularly if the lowlands. but despite the frost first thing this morning, temperatures are rising to up morning, temperatures are rising to up to 12 degrees. a northerly wind lowing so it will not feel much warmer. northern ireland and the south—west, very few showers. the welsh marchers will receive some. but again they will be hit and miss. —— welsh marshes. temperatures getting down to frost level with chilly air. a touch of frost in the countryside greeting many of us tomorrow morning as well as some mist and fog. but high—pressure establishing itself will cut off the northerly breeze which means that the strengthening may sunshine will influence the temperatures. five fewer showers tomorrow. perhaps one in the afternoon in the south down and the yorkshire moors. as we go into next week, the really establishes itself and we believe into this warm air, coming right all the way around from the ocean. a bit cooler in the eastern times but generally, after what has been a week below par, the following few days do look mostly dry. but then it will change again towards the end of next week but temperatures should get up. not a heat wave. by wednesday, you might start to see 20, possibly 22 in a few spots. wednesday possibly the warmest day. after the rain, we can get out into the gardens again. watch out for the nighttime frost. time now for the latest technology news in this week's click. in the uk, police are pushing ahead with live facial recognition, deploying specially equipped vans to events such as london's annual notting hill carnival and major football games. i am completely comfortable that the activity we are doing in the trials is lawful and appropriate. but this has become a highly controversial issue, with civil liberties groups claiming that the technology is inaccurate, intrusive and infringes on an individual‘s right to privacy. for the last year, jeff white has been following the uk police's deployment of facial recognition. the frontline in facial recognition. police cameras in an east london street — everyone gets scanned. if you refuse, here is what can happen. if i want to cover my face i'll cover my face, don't push me over... this man didn't want to be caught by the police cameras, so he covered his face. police stopped him, they photographed him anyway, an argument followed. how would you like it if you walked down the street and someone grabbed you? officer: calm yourself down, or you're going in handcuffs. woman: what's your suspicion? the fact he has walked past a clearly marked facial recognition thing, and covered his face... i would do the same, i would do the same. ..gives us grounds to stop him. no it doesn't! the police said this was disorderly behaviour, so they gave him a fine. the chap told me down the road, he said they got facial recognition. so i walked past like that, it is a cold day as well, soon as i have done that, the police officer has asked me to come to him. i have got my back up, i said to him, (bleep) off, basically. i said i don't want my face shown on anything. if i want to cover my face, i will cover my face. no—one is going to tell me not to cover my face. i have a £90 fine, look at that. £90, thanks lads, £90, well done. he was caught up in the last of ten trials carried out by the metropolitan police. the met have had successes — there were three arrests from facial recognition on this test day alone. but the trials have proved controversial. 0pponents say they are taking place in a legal vacuum. there is nothing in uk law that has the words "facial recognition." there is no legal basis for police to be using facial recognition. there are no legal limitations on how they can use it, no policy, no regulation. this is a free for all. we don't know who's on the watch lists, we didn't know how long the images were going to be stored for, and the police are kind of making up rules as they go along. my ultimate fear is that we would have live facial recognition capabilities on our gargantuan cctv network, which is about 6 million cameras in the uk. if that happens, the nature of life in this country would change. it would mean that everywhere we go we could be identified, tracked, that we would be leaving a location data trail, that your face could be searched and a detailed record of your movements gained. police argue that in a time when every smartphone camera has facial recognition, why should they be left behind? i believe, as does the commissioner and the management board of the met, believe not trialling such technology would be neglectful. we ought to explore all technology to see how it can keep people safer, how it can make policing more effective. however we are completely aware of some of the concerns that are raised, and what we're doing with these trials is actually trying to understand those better, so we can actually protect human rights but also keep people safe at the same time. we're reviewing all capabilities in terms of live facial recognition, and absolutely the technology is there for body—worn or smaller devices to be fitted with facial recognition technology, as is cctv. so absolutely we will look at that, but again the right safeguards and the right reviews and learning have to be put around that. it is notjust cameras on vans. last summer, outside one of london's biggest shopping malls, police cctv scanned thousands of shoppers — aimed, they say, at spotting known criminals. this is all about making our streets in our communities safer. people who are unlawfully at large may well be reoffending, and it's really clear that we need a tactic, another tactic, which is why we are deploying this technology now, to apprehend these individuals and bring them to justice. that is what the people want and that is what we are responding to. i want to be absolutely clear. the technology is very accurate and reliable. the human intervention side is the safeguard we have got in place. despite the warning signs, many passers—by do not know what was happening. when they found out, the reaction was mixed. some thought it was an improvement on current policing methods. it is better than stop—and—search. that's a good point. it is better than stop—and—search. at least that would be discriminative. it is a bit creepy, i have to say. i wouldn't like to feel like i am being watched all day long. it is notjust in london that the tech is being tested. south wales police have carried out more than a dozen trials, including at the champions league final, using similar equipment to the met. after you, hop inside. it is quite cosy, isn't it. let's have a look. so we have two cameras on the roof of the vehicle, one at the front and one at the back. both 360 ability, so we can control them from in the vehicle. focus all around the vehicle. when tested on a member of police staff, the system quickly spotted herface and matched it almost instantly to a file photo, even though the two were quite different. here, heading to our headquarters, it has picked up, it has come up withjulia gardiner, it shows her name and almost instantly generates an alert. 0nce checked that alert can be relayed to an officer in the street, who can approach the suspect and verify the match. the system is incredibly sensitive. the starting point is the eyes, the eyes are really important in terms of facial recognition technology. 0ften those eyes are visible with face coverings, to include motorcycle helmets, so the technology does work with motorcycle helmets as well. using facial recognition is not new for the police. what has changed is that systems like this one work in real—time and across massive numbers. the system acts as a big filter, it enables the officers to find that needle in a haystack. if you have got hundreds of thousands of people walking past the camera, it would be incredibly difficult with the human eye to spot one of the 700 you are looking for. so it gives the officers an indication, so it could be that individual. the system works by matching the camera footage to a database of file photos, and that is part of the controversy. so—called intelligence data bases include people who have never been convicted, as does the police national data base, which includes more than 10 million photos. that database then could include people who were found not guilty, perfectly innocent people. at the moment, but they can have their image removed. but only if they apply to? only if they apply to, but measures are afoot to automate the process. south wales police and the met have finished their trials now, but in the meantime both forces are facing legal action from privacy campaigners over their use of facial recognition surveillance. one of my concerns, i don't know how you feel about this... london assembly member baroness jennyjones has strongly backed the legal challenge and has had personal experience of the issue. the police national database has all sorts of people like me, and you do not have to have committed a crime, not even be arrested to be on that database. that suggests to me that it is an extremely flawed way of trying to keep track of people, and once you are in it and once that information is on there, you have to request that it should come off, which is what i did finally. but you have to know that it's on there. if you don't know it's on there you can't get it removed, because you can't make the request. and that means that there would be all sorts of false positives on the system. so for me this is a very foolish move. and what is even worse is that it is so inaccurate that on previous trials it has been 2% accurate, that means 98% inaccurate. so the policejudgement at times is very poor, and i can sort of see why they think this might be a good thing to do, but actually it is disastrous, and the sooner they listen to people who are saying "you've got to, if not stop completely, at least row back a bit, have a pause, and actually make sure you are using it in the right way." that was baroness jones finishing jeff's report, and jeff, facial recognition is really controversial yet the police are still going ahead with it. yes, i mean theirargument is that this isn't anything new. police officers have always had the usual suspects in the back of their mind, they're looking out for them on the street. what is different here is the speed and scale. so this is no longer about a police officer looking out for a few people in a hundred, this is cameras scanning hundreds and thousands of faces and comparing them insta ntly to data bases of thousands of people. and that is what has campaigners worried. you mentioned the usual suspects, which implies police are only using previous suspects' images. but where do they get their facial data from? this is the other controversial bit — a lot of police forces are using the police national database. this is a stash of millions of images police have accumulated over the years. there are controversies over how they have accumulated it, whether that database should still exist, and controversies about who is on it, some of these are people who have been arrested but cleared of any offence. another problem we hear about with artificial intelligence is the problem of bias in the training data, where a lot of ai is trained on white men, and so it's not as good at recognising the more diverse range of people that exist in the world. are the police aware of any biases in the training data and what are they doing about it? as part of this investigation we have found that police have on several occasions had golden opportunities to check how well the software and systems deal with black and minority ethnic faces, and on each occasion they have failed to investigate that. the problem there is that there are already problems with power police deal with these communities in terms of stop—and—search, if that rolls into facial recognition there is another point of controversy brewing for police in the future with this technology. jeff, thank you for your time, thank you for those brilliant reports. and if you have any views on the subject, which i'm sure you will, why not get in touch with us on facebook or twitter at @bbcclick. that's it for this week, thank you for watching, we'll see you soon. good morning. welcome to breakfast with charlie stayt and tina daheley. 0ur headlines today. concerns over climate change could restrict air travel in the future — and raises questions around heathrow expansion plans. the prime minister could give a clear timetable for her departure from downing street when she meets conservative mps this week. after a week of drama in the champions league, it's time for club rugby's equivalent, with saracens and leinster bidding to be crowned kings of europe in newcastle this evening. and i've been trying taekwondo ahead of the world championships — which kick off in manchester on wednesday. good morning. many of us have had a good morning. many of us have had a good dose of rain from the showers with much—needed rainfall for the gardens. but that we can see drier coming progressively
