‘multi—generational‘ holidays. if you had rain yesterday it is likely it will stick around today as well. the top and tail of the country will see the best and brightest, but they could be some showers around as well. join me for the details. it's sundayjuly the 28th. our top story the government is now working on the assumption of a no—deal brexit, according to minister michael gove. mr gove, who's now responsible for planning for such a scenario, said his team still aimed to come to an agreement with brussels, but, writing in the sunday times, he added: "no deal is now a very real prospect." our political correspondent tom bartonjoins us now. tom, what does this tell us about the new government's approach to brexit? this is a change of tone, no doubt about that. michael gove, the man responsible for both planning for no deal, but making sure that the whole of government is getting ready for a no deal brexit, in charge of the cabinet office as the duchy of lancaster chancellor. he is sitting gci’oss lancaster chancellor. he is sitting across all of those departments, making sure that everybody is ready. and he is very clear in this article today. saying firstly that there is no point trying to get anything that looks much like theresa may's agreement through parliament, because it willjust get rejected, saying that you can'tjust reheat a dish that has been sent back and expect it will be more palatable. but also saying that actually if the eu stick to their guns and say they won't renegotiate, the government needs to work on that basis and assumed that no deal is the most likely outcome. saying then that planning for no deal is the number one priority of the government, and making clear that no matter what happens, if those negotiations don't go the way that is hoped, and of course they would prefer to leave with a deal if the eu will budge, then, no ifs or buts, no more delays, is happening. it is one thing for the government to agree on that but it is another getting it passed the house of commons, isn't it? yes, and there are big questions about whether mps would agree to allow a no deal brexit to happen. but there is a question about whether they are able to stop it. big questions in law, big disputes between those who think that no deal should be a realistic prospect, potentially something that actually happens, and those mps in parliament who think it should be stopped no matter what the cost. there seems to be in agreement that the only realistic way for mps to try to stop it would be to hold a vote of no—confidence in the when parliament returns in september, but the timeframes for that are very tight, and if it doesn't happen very soon, then no deal brexit could happen by default, because it is a very controversial area, and one where there isn't a very clear answer as to who is right and whether or not it's possible. senior diplomats from britain, france, germany, russia and china will meet representatives from iran later today to discuss how to save the 2015 nuclear deal. tensions in the gulf have soared since last year, when president donald trump withdrew the united states from the landmark accord, which curbed tehran‘s nuclear programme in return for an easing of economic sanctions. bethany bell reports from vienna. the iran nuclear deal is under pressure. since washington pulled out of the accord, it has reimposed punishing sanctions on iran. in response, iran has breached limits on its sensitive nuclear work. it is now enriching a root uranium to a higher purity, and has exceeded the amount of enriched uranium it is allowed to hold under the deal. tehran has threatened to take further measures if the remaining parties to the accord, especially european nations, don't help it to circumvent us sanctions. in recent weeks, tensions have escalated further, with a number of incidents involving tankers and drones. last week, iran impounded this british flag vessel in the gulf. the step was apparently in retaliation for britain detaining an iranian tanker in gibraltar. europe's foreign policy chief has called on iran to reverse its breaches of the nuclear deal, but iran says the steps are allowed as a response to us non—compliance. fresh protests are expected in hong kong today as the territory continues to be engulfed by huge anti—government demonstrations. in the latest confrontation, police fired tear gas into crowds as tens of thousands marched to condemn an attack on pro—democracy campaigners by armed mask men last week. it's still unclear how china will react to the increasingly violent demonstrations. it's emerged that a uk soldier who died in syria fighting the islamic state group was killed by friendly fire. it was previously reported by us officials that sgt matt tonroe was killed by a roadside bomb in 2018. however, the ministry of defence said the 33—year—old died as a result of "explosives" carried by allied american forces. democrats in the united states have renewed accusations of racism against president trump after he criticised an african—american congressman. the president accused elijah cummings, who's the head of a powerful committee, of trying to hurt innocent people while doing nothing for his baltimore district, which mr trump branded as "very dangerous" and badly run. mr cummings recently criticised the trump administration over conditions in migrant detention centres. a man and woman, aged 43 and 41, are being held by police after an alleged mass brawl on board a cruise ship. the p&0 britannia was returning to southampton after a week—long voyage around the norweijian fjords when the disturbance took place on friday. a witness said trouble flared when one passenger objected to another wearing fancy dress. a british teenager has won nearly a million pounds after coming second in the world cup finals of the online game fortnite. jaden ashman from essex was competing in new york in what was billed as the biggest ever e—sports event. joe tidy reports. they are as shocked as you are. laying the game they love has just earned them £2 million. it all ended ina hail of earned them £2 million. it all ended in a hail of bullets after a day of action watched by a packed new york stadium crowd. the prize purse for this, the first fortnite world cup, is the largest ever in a sport. even the second—place team became millionaires. jaden ashman from essex will share his winnings with his teammate. it hasn't really hit me what is going on. 2.2 5 million between you, what are you going to do without? i'm probably going to try to save most of it, i know that sounds cliche, but save maybe half of it and put quite a lot of it into a house and my family. of it and put quite a lot of it into a house and my familylj of it and put quite a lot of it into a house and my family. i have been quite against him gaming, pushing him to school, and i have thrown out and ex—boss, snapped a headset. we had a nightmare. bringing the fortnite world to the real world has been a major move. it has peaked in popularity. later today once again the arena will fill for the final event, the solo competition. i'm quite strict with my kids on ipad use, i'm thinking of reviewing that policy now! let's take a look at today's front pages. the sunday times reports on the new prime minister, borisjohnson, vowing to achieve brexit "by any means necessary", and his minister michael gove saying the government is working on the assumption that the eu will not offer a new withdrawal deal. the sunday telegraph follows a similar line, saying that chancellor sajid javid is funding preparations for a no—deal brexit. not all conservatives are behind that idea, though. the observer claims that former chancellor philip hammond has been talking to labour about plans to prevent mrjohnson forcing through a no—deal brexit. and the mail has done some polling which reportedly shows a10% increase in support for boris johnson, fuelling speculation that he might call an early general election. whether you're jetting off with the grandparents or sunbathing with the in—laws, it seems that more of us are going on holiday with our wider family members. for some, it's about cost. for others, child care. but most say that family trips are a great way to spend quality time with one another as more families live further apart. here's our consumer affairs correspondent colletta smith. james and jessica are having a ball this summer. it is notjust mike and his partner claire who are busy keeping them occupied. grandma stella and grandad robert are on hand to help out. it's not their first holiday as three generations. in fact, it's becoming something of afamily in fact, it's becoming something of a family tradition, for all kinds of reasons. we've got credit cards, so that's a benefit. grandma is always treating them! they know who to come to if they want anything. it is about spending time together as a family, you are making memories for yourselves, for the kids, everybody. now, businesses are adapting to meet the new demand. we need to make sure that the accommodation available is right for the people. if you are a large family you need extra space. plenty of open plan living for eve ryo ne plenty of open plan living for everyone to come together. it is important that they can have space together. it is notjust happening in uk holidays. we spoke to eight of the biggest names in the business. they all told us they had seen a rise in bookings for multigenerational groups, and in some cases, well over half of customer survey had already taken or wa nted customer survey had already taken or wanted to take a break with their grandparents. this is grandad and nanna, then we have mum and dad. some nights eat out, other nights one of us will cook, so it isjust helpful, isn't it? as family life evolves holidays are changing. as holiday companies compete for our cash, it will be up to them to adapt to this latest holiday trend. i bet that some people it's fantastic, but with others, with the in—laws, it could be a nightmare. we went on a holiday with the in—laws, and it was fantastic. you have to say that, on telemetry, don't you? fantastic. you have to say that, on telemetry, don't you ?|j fantastic. you have to say that, on telemetry, don't you? i genuinely mean it! if you are watching! we still have this weather front straddling central parts of the uk from western scotland down towards the south—east. top and tail of the country, they will see the best of the country, just like yesterday. quite a lot of standing water, minor flooding in one or two places, particularly the north midlands and into parts of north—west england. it looks like it will stay very wet, disappointing conditions throughout this morning. a little bit of mist and fog with human areas around parts of scotland, some dry areas but downpours are likely to develop through the morning and into afternoon. very different winds across the uk, across the north of the country, coming in from the east. that is why it is human and warm. we have the sunshine here, temperatures reaching the low to mid 20s celsius. a lovely day yesterday across shetland, 21.6 celsius. getting through tonight, that weather front will be fizzling out and becoming more confined to central areas. the rain will become a bit more showery and it will stay muqqy a bit more showery and it will stay muggy across northern and eastern areas, as temperatures come down to 10-12. areas, as temperatures come down to 10—12. heading into monday, the weather front continues to move north, tending to fizzle out. looking to the north—west, low pressure for this time of year. that will come into play late on monday and tuesday and wednesday, for some heavy downpours. not bad across parts of northern ireland and the midlands, a few showers in the north, but that said, lots of sunshine and warmer temperatures up to maybe six degrees. windier in the south—east, this area of low pressure will begin to push in north eastwards to the uk, showers and longer spells of rain coming with it. some downpours could be quite intense, initially in the south—western moving northwards, it tends to spread across much of england, so warm weather followed by torrential downpours. the best of the weather into scotland and western england, that looks like the best. watch out for these heavy and thundery showers. some torrential downpours. bouncing down. a good excuse to stay indoors. there was so much sport to watch. we have all the details. an interesting day for the two difference as well. that is coming up with gavin. —— tour de france. it is all about heavy metal and knitting. finland recently hosted the first ever heavy metal and knitting world champions. natalie in edinburgh was the first to ta ke natalie in edinburgh was the first to take to the stage. here she is. my my name is natalie and i was the first—ever person in the world to be on stage knitting to heavy metal. heavy metal knitting is basically what it says. a mixture of heavy metal and knitting. someone had the brilliant idea to combine them both and create this first heavy metal knitting world championship. it was absolutely an amazing act variance. everybody was so warm. although it was a competition, to be quite honest, it was about your tribe and making new friends. it was just a real metal feeling. knitting can be seen as quite a conventional, traditional pastime. what i do is i need with unusual materials to take it to a new dimension. pretty much 90% use recycled materials. it is quite thick. you can't make it to them because it might break or stretch. but it makes it really quite tough to net. it is also quite smelly! a lot of people have told me, what the hell are you doing? what?! knitting? heavy metal? how does that linkup? andy knitting or crochet or any textile work, there is a kind of rhythm to it, which goes very well with metal. i think next year will be just with metal. i think next year will bejust mega. it with metal. i think next year will be just mega. it is brilliant that people are interested in trying things out and just let go, let loose, just go for it. annette! —— knit! speechless. whatever floats your boat. that worked well. you can get more stories like that and a variety of other stories every weekday evening at nine o'clock or on the bbc iplayer. we will be back with all the headlines at 630. now it is time for the field — make the film review. and this week, jane hill and jason solomons take a look at horrible histories and the current war. hello and welcome to the film review on bbc news. to take us through this week's cinema releases, jason solomons. so, jason, what do we have this week? this week, we're going back in time, we've got the horrible histories team and their little take on rotten romans, roman britain in the rule of emperor nero. boudica, the celts, lee mack and nick frost — those well—known ancients. someone also had a bright idea of making the current war, a starring drama out of michael shannon as george westinghouse, in a battle for the best light bulbs in america. illuminating. and we escape to the greek island of hydra for a love story that lasted 56 years and inspired some of the most heartbreaking and famous songs 1960s, marianne and leonard: words of love. horrible histories — is this something i should be taking my nieces to? horrible histories was a boon for parents and families and something that everyone could watch and enjoy. it had great success on tv, where it has more of a sketch format, they'll do romans and victorians and the greeks and the 19405 and wartime. this is them just doing one thing, rotten romans, where they make the transition to the big screen and concentrate on one aspect. it hasn't got the original cast, so if you are a fan of them, they're not really in this. some of them make cameos, but they have got a bit starry for this, with a lot of famous faces. every kid studies roman britain, so the young emperor nero, played by craig roberts, dominated by his mum, kim cattrall — from sex and the city — she's not in the original! she sends atticus, atti, off to the wilds of the empire, the untameable stain of the empire, which is here, britain, where boudica is rousing the troops to rebellion and inspiring young women all over the place to take up arms, much to the disappointment of their fathers. here, young 0rla, played by emilia jones, has captured atti and nick frost is not happy about it. now, who says i'm not ready to be a warrior? what have you done? taken a roman prisoner. all on my own. see? told you i could do it. you're just going to have to take him back. what? i thought you'd be pleased. you can't keep a prisoner, it's hard work! you have to feed it, you have to exercise it. who's going to clean up after him? i am here, you know. he's my prisoner, i found him and i want to keep him. 0k, fine. you'll get bored soon enough and then someone will have to get rid of him. there's no pleasing some people. good fun? i like it. what i like is that we're so used to these pixar films that are perfect, honed, the jokes are perfect, everything looks great and it is perfection. and this one looks like it's been shot in the local park. i like that ropiness, there's an adhocness to it — a nice latin phrase! there are lots of funny gags, lots of fart gags, alexander armstrong, nick frost, people pop up and making cameo performances, derekjacobi. i really enjoyed it. high vs all round! derekjacobi being in it is funny to me! that gets the parents in. the current war, which i kind of feel should be good? look at the cast! benedict cumberbatch as thomas edison, michael shannon, always brilliant, playing george westinghouse. you're saying, who are these two? it's billed as a battle for the future of america, it's about whether you will use alternating current or direct current to light up america. that's exciting, isn't it? it should be! it was quite important. it was. in a way, it feels like vhs versus betamax, lycos versus google, the way the big brands battle now — i suppose that's what was supposed to be interesting about it. i feel there is a but coming. i didn't really know why. there was light—bulb moments all round, and the person who greenlit this film — i'm going to do some lighting puns — there's no heart to it, you don't know what they're arguing about. there is the invention of the electric chair and neither of them really want to be associated with that so there is a moral element. there is no danger orjeopardy involved, and you wonder why, with this cast, tom holland, nicholas hoult, matthew macfadyen. .. again, it should be good, but... but the current war, it's a turn—off. end of lighting puns! take us to your third choice. just as it's holiday time, let's go to greece, the island of hydra. marianne is a beautiful woman, leonard is leonard cohen, who became one of the most famous, depressing songwriters of the 1960s. this was when they met on the greek island of hydra in the 1960s. it was sort of taken over by poets and artists and hippies and there was lots of free love. it's kind of love island in the ‘60s, but with people who can actually read. into this comes the documentary maker nick broomfield, who we know, he's a ratherfamous documentary maker with his t—shirt andjeans and boom mic and recording equipment. he asserts himself into the story in a way he's never done before, he actually becomes marianne's lover. here is nick broomfield recalling those heady days of the ‘60s in hydra. i was mesmerised by the island's beauty, and had never before met so many golden, sun—kissed people of either sex having so much fun together. it felt like anything was possible. marianne gave me my first acid trip, which she said had come from a friend of leonard's in london, called malcolm. and she took these pictures of me the morning after. i had no intention of leaving, but then one of marianne's other lovers unexpectedly showed up on the island, and i found myself hastily boarding the next boat back to athens. reference to other lovers sort of gives you a sense of the time and what was going on. free love, i think it was called. there's a moment in this that you think, gosh, that sounds great! i wish they could be attained, but it obviously can't sustain itself. this was part of the hippy trail, so there was too much, there was an excess of poetry and drugs and lying around and sun, sea and sex and all of that — you can't sustain it. they had this love affair, marianne and leonard, that did then sustain each other for 56 years. he became a rock star or pop star and was rather promiscuous around the world, leaving marianne rather hurt, but they had this love story and it kept coming back to this in the career. i think it's rather brilliant, a film that makes you remember those fleeting love stories. what it is about love that endures and obtains. they had a pure love, even though it was caught up in many different things, but there was a gorgeousness to this, an idyll that has preserved. it is very much about a holiday romance that lasted almost a lifetime. it is about what love really is. it looks very beautiful, do you need to like his music, need to be interested in him as a musician, or is that really secondary? it's very secondary. you hear a bit about leonard cohen, i don't know much about him myself, but it was more about her. it became very personal. you insert yourself into the story and i remember people who were influential on me, i remember moments in my own life, and turning points, and that's what it's about. i think it's one of the best films of the year and one of the best that nick broomfield's ever made. this is certainly the most emotional, i was welling up at the end of it. a love story in the form of a documentary. and another love story is the best out this week, the best for you? it is such a good british film, doesn't even look like a british film, it looks french! i love british films. it has a european sexiness and freedom to it and confronts issues. again, it's about the difficulties of maintaining love through the travails of trying to conceive, through the travails of health. the actor is about to be prince charles in the crown, so if you want to know what prince charles looks like without any clothes on, you have to watch only you. it is directed by a woman who brings an excellent touch to her very first film. if you can find it, please do. it is really worth it. very beautiful, a simple film and lovely. and a quick thought about what we should be streaming? just dropped on netflix — everywhere else, they're released. 0n netflix, they're dropped. it is the great hack, about the harvesting of our data. all our likes, our dislikes. they used these to create the political shocks of our time, trump and brexit. cambridge analytica come under the microscope here, other whistle—blowers are featured. you see the injustice of it, because all of us have been played by this data harvest that has been going on. watch if you dare, perhaps? there's nothing much you can do about it, your data is probably being harvested as you watch it on netflix! it isa it is a very, very fine film. we are all susceptible to it, particularly film critics. thank you very much, jason. see you next week. enjoy your cinema—going. bye— bye. hello, this is breakfast with ben thompson and nina warhurst. good morning, here's a summary of today's main stories from bbc news. the government is now "working on the assumption" of a no—deal brexit, that's according to minister michael gove. mr gove, who's now responsible for planning for such a scenario, said his team still aimed to come to an agreement with brussels but writing in the sunday times, he added: "no deal is now a very real prospect." meanwhile the chancellor sajid javid has confirmed he will soon announce extra funding for no—deal preparations. an emergency meeting will take place later today to try to save the international deal with iran, designed to curb its nuclear programme. senior diplomats from britain, france, germany, russia and china will hold talks with representatives from tehran. tensions in the gulf have soared since last year when president trump withdrew the united states from the landmark accord and re—imposed punishing sanctions on iran. in response, tehran has breached limits on its uranium enrichment. more than a thousand people have been arrested at a protest in moscow, after some opposition candidates were barred from standing in local elections. the opposition say they were barred for political reasons. demonstrators were dragged away from the city hall as security forces used batons against the crowd. the eu foreign affairs spokesperson condemned the detentions. fresh protests are expected in hong kong today as the territory continues to be engulfed by huge anti—government demonstrations. in the latest confrontation police fired tear gas into crowds as tens of thousands marched to condemn an attack on pro—democracy campaigners by armed mask men last week. it's still unclear how china will react to the increasingly violent demonstrations. it's emerged that a uk soldier who died in syria fighting the islamic state group was killed by friendly fire. it was previously reported by us officials that sgt matt tonroe was killed by a roadside bomb in 2018. however, the ministry of defence said the 33—year—old died as a result of "explosives" carried by allied american forces. democrats in the united states have renewed accusations of racism against president trump after he criticised an african—american congressman. the president accused elijah cummings, who's the head of a powerful committee, of trying to hurt innocent people while doing nothing for his baltimore district, which mr trump branded as "very dangerous" and badly run. mr cummings recently criticised the trump administration over conditions in migrant detention centres. a man and woman, aged 43 and a1, are being held by police after an alleged mass brawl on board a cruise ship. the p&0 britannia was returning to southampton after a week—long voyage around the norweijian fjords, when the disturbance took place on friday. a witness said trouble flared when one passenger objected to another wearing fancy dress. a british teenager has won nearly a million pounds after placing second in the world cup finals of the online game fortnite. jaden ashman, from essex, was competing alongside his gaming partner in new york, in what was billed as the biggest ever "e—sports" event. the singles contest takes place later today. from digital sports to real sports. the tour de france in its final stages today. yes, processional stage, so egan bernal will be crowned winner today, because nobody challenges the leader on the final day. it's a big day for egan bernal, the 22—year—old set to become the youngest winner of the tour de france in 110 years, and the first colombian. he's got the leader's yellowjersey going into today's final stage in paris, which is mainly processional so he won't get challenged. his teammate and defending champion geraint thomas is second. let's go to the alps, and say good morning to gareth rhys 0wen, from bbc radio 5 live's bespoke podcast. lovely moment yesterday as bernal and thomas crossed the line hand—in—hand, this tour has been a perfect example of teamwork in action? absolutely. team ineos, formerly tea m absolutely. team ineos, formerly team sky, is undoubtedly the strongest, the wealthiest, and the best tea m strongest, the wealthiest, and the best team in the peleton. geraint thomas and egan bernalfirst best team in the peleton. geraint thomas and egan bernal first and second on the podium, but egan bernal, this is notjust about money, he is the real deal. 22 —year—olds do not win grand tours, they are too young, they haven't got enough miles in the legs, but this man isa enough miles in the legs, but this man is a very special talent. leave me, he will go on to win plenty more races such as the tour de france if he continues with the development he is showing right now. tell us a bit more about egan bernal. would anyone have fancied his chances going into this? many people would have fancied him even when he burst onto the teal seen a few years ago. as soon as he arrived on the world tour, you could see that this man could climb. he had the skill set, he learnt initially as a mountain biker, but then of course he grew up at altitude. 2700 metres, high in the colombian mountains, and he has the talent as well. he has the ability, he is also very calm and assured. he looks like a 15—year—old, but when i looks like a 15—year—old, but when i look at the bespoke broadcast, when i spoke to him, you are struck by how assured and confident he is. he doesn't suffer. gladly, but he is very polite. he is a special individual and will go on to dominate the sport if he continues in this vein. wright very quickly before we finish, how open has this yea r‘s to have before we finish, how open has this year's to have been, with no chris froome going into it? it has been fabulous. 0ne froome going into it? it has been fabulous. one thing that is ideal for sporting drama is uncertainty. right until the final few days in the alps we clearly did not know who is going to win the tour de france. we've had a bit of everything. racing, drama, and chaos in the alps. more importantly now we have a deserved winner. lewis hamilton will start today's german grand prix from pole, but he's not been well. the world champion says he felt so ill that at one point he thought he might have to drop out of the race weekend altogether. so to then come back, and take pole position at hockenheim is no mean feat. he was given a helping hand though, after both ferrari's failed to make it through qualifying. i don't know how we did it today, i'm not quite sure what happened to the ferraris, but it is such an important race for us, 25 years of mercedes and it is incredible to celebrated this week. just four days to go until the start of the ashes and, as expected, england have named world cup winnerjofra archer in their test squad for the first time. the fast—bowler only became eligible to play for england earlier this year but took 20 wickets in their world cup—winning campaign to force his way in. ben stokes meanwhile is reinstated as test vice—captain. he lost the role after that incident outside a nightclub in bristol in 2017. arsenal are expected to break their transfer record with the signing of the lille winger nicolas pepe. they'll payjust over 70 million pounds for the ivory coast international, who is 2a years old and scored 22 goals in the french top division last season. warrington will play st helens in the final of rugby league's challenge cup. warrington were made to work for their victory by a well drilled hull fc side but eventually won by 22 points to 1a. joe philbin going over the line late on, to send warrington through to the final for a third time in four years. the other semi—final always looked to be a mismatch on paper, but part—timers halifax put in a really resiliant performance to frustrate st helen's early on. but saints proved too strong in the end, running in four tries to win 26—2, qualifying for their first final in 11 years. and leeds rhinos won the women's challenge cup for a second year in a row. they beat the same team, castleford, in the process. it was pretty close for a while, 10—10 before courtney hill went overfor the rhinos with 20 minutes to go, 16—10 the final score at the university of bolton stadium. rory mcilroy looks like he's returned to form after missing the cut at the open championship last weekend. he leads the wgc invitational in memphis after shooting an 8—under par 62 in his third round. he birdied nine holes, including four of the last five, to leave him 12—under par overall, leaving him one shot ahead of us pga winner brooks koepka. staying with golf, and the 5—time 0pen champion tom watson will retire from competitive golf after today's final round of the senior open at royal lytham & st annes. the american turns 70 in five weeks' time, and says he just doesn't "have enough tools in the toolbox to compete successfully." when it comes to swimming, there's always someone who absolutely dominates at the olympics. think michael phelps, ian thorpe and, going a bit further back, mark spitz. well, for tokyo next year, remember the name caeleb dressel. he's been in scintillating form at the world aquatics championships in south korea. the 22—year—old had already broken one of michael phelps's world records, and yesterday, he won three goals in one session — in the 50 metres freestyle, 100 metres butterfly and the mixed ax100m freestyle relay. he leaves the championships with six gold medals in total. in the swimming, you tend to see one or two do very well, and i think this guy will be one to watch. yes, they dominate when they are young.|j think the peak tends to be in the early 20s. had they worked out why he is so good? i haven't looked into the exact specific dynamics, but if you look at adam peaty it is the wingspan in the water, and the spring when he jumps wingspan in the water, and the spring when hejumps off as wingspan in the water, and the spring when he jumps off as well. i think this guy will have more power as well. can't wait to watch the champs—elysees. as well. can't wait to watch the champs-elysees. it is a great shot when they cross the line, it is so good to see egan bernal, so young and enthusiastic! the mayflower famously sailed across the atlantic ocean in the 17th century, taking the pilgrim fathers from plymouth to the new world. when they landed, they set up home in what's become the american state of massachusetts. now, a full—sized replica of the ship is being assembled in north devon to mark 400 years since it set sail, but the people who built it will set it alight and burn it to the ground next year as part of a traditional ceremony. sarah ransome reports. ina quiet in a quiet corner of devon, a ship is taking shape. but this one will never take the high seas. it's a life—size replica of the mayflower, which carried the pilgrim fathers from plymouth to america in 1620, and injust from plymouth to america in 1620, and in just over a year's time, from plymouth to america in 1620, and injust over a year's time, it will all go up and injust over a year's time, it willall go up in and injust over a year's time, it will all go up in smoke. this is very authentic. because it is mayflower 400, it is identical to the mayflower ship that sailed to america, and they have done their homework on it and it is to scale, and it is brilliant. it makes me feel very proud, actually. we are coming up on deck, andy, and... wow! this is huge. from bow to stern, this is what the pilgrim fathers would have seen when they were standing on the quayside in plymouth? yes, this is 10096 standing on the quayside in plymouth? yes, this is 100% built to scale. from the originals, we have had to rescaling from 800 millimetres ship to 100 foot, the dimensions of. i can't imagine the calculations you must have had. there was about a year of them being all over my front room while my wife and daughters were trying to watch telly! what started as pub talk 50 yea rs telly! what started as pub talk 50 years ago has grown into a group that regularly builds and then burns, all in the name of charity. two years burns, all in the name of charity. two yea rs in burns, all in the name of charity. two years in the planning, and another three in the building, it is another three in the building, it is a labour of love for these men, who give up theirtime a labour of love for these men, who give up their time for community projects like no other. it is all down to the 20 odd guys that turn up every weekend and do it. it is one thing to have the plans and another thing to have the plans and another thing to have the plans and another thing to come out here in all weather and do it. it is the latest ina weather and do it. it is the latest in a series of huge replica structures they have satellite. a few years ago, thousands came to see a massive mediaeval castle go up in flames. on the night that you set fire to it, you will see grown men cry. it is quite emotional, you have spent three or five years in this case, putting it together. and afterwards people really feel that there is a hole in our lives. this band of brothers don't do things by halves. they dream big and then deliver. with just over a year to go they are confident this bonfire will be the biggest and best yet. it seems incredible, doesn't it? to build their. did you see the mediaeval castle? it is obviously building — like bringing in the crowds. let's check in with the weather. how are things looking? it was pretty torrential yesterday. it has been horrendous. you have the right end of the weather front and it has been stationary. waking up this morning, a lot of rain around like this photograph shows here in lincolnshire. it has been heavier further west of lincolnshire. parts of the midlands into the north has been incessant, a lot of standing water around because of this weather front. you can see where it is stretching from northern ireland into the south—west of scotland through north—west england, north wales and into the north midlands. it will be slowly pulling away from east anglia in the south—east through this afternoon but still remains quite heavy across this north midlands and north—west england area. to the north, dry weather but a mist and fog to start. a few thundery showers starting. the best of the weather the south—west quadrant of the country, the highest temperatures generally into the early to mid 20s. cool under the reign band, 16 and 17 degrees in some places. watch out for some minor flooding some places. watch out for some minorflooding as some places. watch out for some minor flooding as the some places. watch out for some minorflooding as the rain some places. watch out for some minor flooding as the rain will continue to be quite heavy in places. the weather front will slowly ease as we had through tonight, although the wet weather will be confined to the north of england into southern scotland and turning a bit dry across the south—east. clear spells and temperatures into the low teens. still quite muggy across parts of scotla nd still quite muggy across parts of scotland and north—east england. it is fizzling out. we turn our attention to the area of low pressure moving from the south—west, a deep feature that will bring windy conditions with some heavy showers. for monday, it is not looking too bad. a nice day to start the week. plenty of cloud and sunshine. a few showers as a weak weather front continues to destabilise the atmosphere. temperatures around 20 degrees. further south, 24 to 26. much warmer on monday. this area of low pressure moves up from the south—west monday night into tuesday, bringing windy conditions, 40 miles an hour gusts on tuesday. pretty harsh for any holidaymakers down there, and heavy showers. there will be some sunshine in between, but the showers will be heavy and thundery as they spell north into wales. the best of the weather, the far eastern side of the country and across scotland where it will stay largely dry. 22 to 24 further south. for the rest of the week, that low pressure will be with us for quite a while so it will continue to generate heavy and thundery showers. watch out for the risk of flooding as well. stay tuned to the weather. back to you. still that combination of shorts and umbrella. that very british summer attire. what more could you need? take everything with you just in case. you are watching bbc breakfast. now on breakfast, it's time for click. it's the hardest problem in technology and one that could change everything. this week, we're in arizona, the self—driving capital of the world, to ride in the latest robotic vehicles and to find out what happens when the tech goes wrong. when california told uber that there were going to be some new regulations that they needed to adhere to, governor ducey, in a public announcement, said... california may not want you, we want you to know that arizona does. we are a state that is open for business. we are a state that welcomes business and new people and technology. 0ur governor, governor ducey, had basically opened wide the arms of our state to welcome them there and it was a no—brainer. chandler is a hub where autonomous vehicles are growing and having more miles mapped on our roads than any place else in the galaxy. it's kind of great to be the centre of that. well, chandler, i believe, was chosen because it has very wide streets, very clean streets, they're on a grid, and the people would be very accepting of this kind of technology. and so it was that the technology that will one day change our society, our landscape, and our lives found a home in arizona. the makers of self—driving cars have flocked to the town of chandler, which has fast become the industry's testbed. today, i'm taking a ride in one of the most prolific types of self—driving cars here, made by google's subsidiary waymo. now, self—driving cars come kitted with loads of sensors so they can see in every direction, and sometimes in ways that we can't with our eyes. on top, we've got loads of normal cameras looking in every direction. and the fact that there's loads of them means that they can judge distances by seeing how different objects move in relation to each other. now, there's also radar — four of those, one on each corner, and these spinning things, these are the interesting things — these are lidar sensors. there are five a round and a big one in the black bump on the top, which can see three football pitches ahead and behind. right, let's go for a ride. 0oh, we have our safety driver. 0k. and away we go. computer: please remember to buckle your seatbelt. we've just pulled out in front of quite a fast—moving car there. we made it. i call that quite a human manoeuvre. companies like waymo are experimenting whether their technology can avoid hitting you. i mean, that's the experiment. when you go out on the streets here, when you cross on the crosswalk, and there's a waymo, waymo is actively testing whether or not its cars can avoid an accident, and avoid an accident with you if you happen to be on the roads. and some people also are, clearly, offended by that notion. and last year, the fears of the community became a reality. a self—driving uber vehicle failed to detect her crossing an empty road at night and the safety driver failed to hit the brakes. it was the first case of a pedestrian being killed by a self—driving car. the uber was — the vehicle was a volvo again. it was a self—driving vehicle. it was in the autonomous mode at the time. and our investigation did not show at this time that there were significant signs of the vehicle slowing down. the uber vehicle hit elaine herzberg at 38mph. this was a huge moment for the burgeoning industry, which led to uber having to immediately halt their self—driving programme. so, what exactly happened and whose fault was it? we went to the site of the crash in tempe, arizona, with the news editor of the phoenix new times, ray stern, to find out more about the incident. ok, it's on the other side. she took her bike from this area, walked it across this lane and then entered this lane. the uber vehicle was in this lane. and itjust kept staying in this lane even though the pedestrian is here. it should have swerved. it had time and place to swerve, but it didn't. so, before she made it to the sidewalk, it impacted her. i absolutely would have seen elaine as she started to cross the road and i would have absolutely braked for her. most reasonable drivers would have. in fact, any driver who was paying attention would have not hit elaine herzberg. in order to entice uber and other companies into arizona, governor ducey relaxed regulations, which meant companies faced no requirement to disclose anything about their programmes, including crashes. basically, the governor invited uber in. that was one problem. they were operating here without any real transparency in terms of what they were actually doing, when the vehicles were in autonomous mode, what their criteria were for it. and then, so the vehicles were doing whatever they wanted and uber had free reign. tempe police called the crash "entirely avoidable" after investigations found that the safety driver was watching television on her phone at the time of the fatal incident. ms vasquez could still face charges of vehicular manslaughter. she looked down, they estimate, 160 times during the circuit that she was doing. the evidence showed that she was streaming the view, which is a tv show, on her phone at the exact time of the impact. so, what exactly went wrong with uber‘s self—driving technology on that night? it can't really be to do with poor visibility, can it? one of the messed up things about this whole incident has been the video that was released by uber after the accident. and if you've seen this video, it looks like this street is very dark and then at last second, the woman on the bike suddenly pops out of the darkness — right before the impact. in fact, this area is not as dark as this video shows. this drive—through at night follows the same route as the uber vehicle. it shows that the street lighting makes the road clearly visible far into the distance. the new york times reported that uber were not living up to expectations before the crash. as of march 2018, uber was struggling to meet the targets of 13 miles per intervention in arizona. as a comparison, gm—owned cruise reported to california regulators that they went more than 1,200 miles per intervention and waymo said that their california test cars went an average of nearly 5,600 miles before driver intervention. reports said that the uber vehicle actually detected elaine herzberg six seconds before the crash, but the perception system got confused, classifying her as first an unknown object, then as a vehicle and, finally, as a bicycle. those volvos came from the factory with an accident avoidance system, one of these new semiautonomous systems that a lot of the new cars have. 1.3 seconds before impact, the self—driving system realised emergency braking was needed. however, uber had disabled the emergency braking system on the volvo to prevent conflict with the self—driving system. nevertheless, prosecutors have determined that uber were not criminally liable in the death. if uber hadn't disabled the technology, then, potentially, the vehicle would have detected the pedestrian even without the uber autonomous technology, just with the volvo technology and stopped the vehicle. but uber disconnected that because apparently the vehicle was being a little too jerky in its motions, and it didn'tjibe correctly with the autonomous vehicle system that uber had in there. a safety driver supervising an imperfect system should ensure its overall safety. however, that only works if they're paying attention. with self—driving cars being tested live on busy streets, accidents are inevitable. so, this may not be the last incident that we see on the road to a driverless future. but the number of accidents involving self—driving cars is very low for the millions of miles of testing that have taken place. while the advancements that we've seen in the last few years are more than impressive, getting a computer to fully understand the real world and drive safely through it will be a monumental achievement. they're not saying it's done, because it's not. this not a solved problem, it is a hard problem, it is many years before you can buy a car that has no steering wheel and you can say, "i'll have the car with no windscreen," and it has the same functionality as your car does now. to start with, they will have subhuman capacity and superhuman capacity in other things. subhuman in their ability to reason, about all the extraordinary things that can happen on a road that has nothing to do with driving. superhuman in their ability to concentrate and never ever, ever get distracted. to see in ways that humans don't see with radar and laser, to sense distance, extraordinary things and above all, the ability for these vehicles to share and acquire competencies, not because of their own experience, but because of the experience of all the other vehicles everywhere else in the world — that is an extraordinary thing and that is the compelling reason why these vehicles are coming. they will be better than us, because there is nothing in our evolutionary history that makes us good at controlling 1.5 tons of metal at 70 miles an hour. here in arizona, i've seen the benefits of — and the resistance to — the idea of the machines taking over another part of our lives. so, i think the question is not if or when this will happen, but will we let it?
