Transcripts For BBCNEWS The Papers 20240714

So our week ahead looks a little different from the weekjust gone, much pressure, and some pretty sharp showers at times. Hello. This is bbc news with lukwesa burak. Well be taking a look at tomorrow mornings papers in a moment first the headlines. Riot police in hong kong clash with thousands of protesters who defied a ban and marched through the streets for an eighth weekend. Part of the riot Police Coming in here. Tear gas, rubber bullets, pepper spray, and every week it seems to get worse. Michael gove, the minister who has to prepare the uk for a no deal brexit says its a very real prospect. Getting ready for it is now the governments number one priority. Democrats in the United States have renewed accusations of racism against President Trump after he criticised an African American congressman. Rain causes chaos at the german grand prix, Lewis Hamilton spins, while Max Verstappen wins. Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. With me arejohn rentoul, chief political commentator at the independent and the broadcaster lynn faulds wood. Many of tomorrows front pages are already in. The Financial Times reports car maker vauxhall will close its uk operations if brexit hits its profits. The metro has a picture of two men wanted in connection with a homophobic assault in london. The daily mail says a growing population and an nhs recruitment crisis is making it harder to get a gp appointment. The telegraph reports the government is going to launch a Public Information campaign about the effects of a no deal brexit. The guardian leads with a warning from a think tank that a no deal brexit would make the governments domestic spending pledges unaffordable. The mirror says british holiday makers are at risk of violence in some popular holiday destinations. So a varied set of front pages, lets take a look at some of them in more detail. I saw you frantically looking at them, it is brexit heavy. The papers have dropped a bit late for us to scrutinise them totally but already im thinking, where are the women in this . Lets start with the express. Its all about beefing up. Well come onto the second biggest Advertising Campaign since the second world war. On the front page of the express weve got the Cobra Committee which sounds like it should be something exciting. All it stands for is Cabinet Office briefing greens. They talk about a bunker. They are just briefing rooms. Boris wrote a book on churchill so maybe he thinks this is going to work well for him but max hastings said he was less churchill and more alan partridge. As a woman im offended by the fact the six men are going to run the country now, officially, it looks like and also that they get all this match own language. What do you think is a man . I dont like it very much. What puzzles me is how borisjohnson thinks hes going to overcome the opposition in parliament to no deal brexit. You can prepare for it all you like but if parliament wont let you like but if parliament wont let you do it, hesjust going to be wasting money. Theres a lot of scenarios about how he can get around all of this. Its magical thinking. Where is all this money coming from and the magic money tree that will deliver all the things hes promised . Its the money that Philip Hammond the previous chancellor put aside in hate make a case of a no deal brexit, Boris Johnson is spending it put aside in case of a no deal brexit. Johnson is spending it put aside in case of a nodeal brexit. We have this on the front of the telegraph, the ad campaign. This is about sending leaflets to all the households in the country to terrify the life out of european negotiating partners. The aim of this is to convince europeans that Boris Johnson is mad enough to take us out without a deal in order to get some compromise on the brexit arrangements. I dont know that its going to work. Do you get the impression, cobra briefings every day, money throwing at it, is it coming across weve got a handle on this, the headlines he wants to show that hes managing it . Its coming across as great headlines for him because working very well in a lot of the papers, giving him very good press. I dont know where all this money is going to. It might be raiding the war chest that was meant to be helping britain survive all of this. At the same time, hes giving money to towns, 20 million each to towns in labour areas. It looks to political commentators like you that theres an election brewing. He claims hes not going for an election but it might be forced upon him and you can only think a lot of this is sweeteners to soften us up. Hes going to be in scotland tomorrow, offering to spend more money. Good luck turning to the guardian, there is a warning for him not no deal brexit would leave Spending Plans in tatters copley thats the argument against a no deal brexit because it would be huge economic disruption. And it would put all the government Spending Plans out of kilter. Thats why so many conservative mps are opposed to it. The fact is, i dont see how borisjohnson can opposed to it. The fact is, i dont see how Boris Johnson can actually ove ico [t] e see how Boris Johnson can actually overcome the opposition in parliament to this. I think the opponents of a no deal brexit led by Philip Hammond and others will find a way to stop it. The guardian have this institute of government. That isa this institute of government. That is a think tank, there are lots of think tanks out there, left, right, once from dubious places. This one is very respected and they are saying there is no such thing as a managed no deal. They use, im going to call him mrjohnson now not boris because boris makes him sound cuddly. Max hastings says, if you think hes nice, youve never met him. Max hastings really doesnt like him. Youre right, we shouldnt be calling him boris, mrjohnson. Prime ministerjohnson. Yes, exactly. Possibly our final brexit story is on the front of the Financial Times. This is a real. This story has been worrying people for some time, the idea that voxel in Ellesmere Port might move the Astra Vauxhall in Ellesmere Port might move the astra. Its made in Ellesmere Port and the mp there is justin madders, he was asking theresa may about it the other day. This is an if story. If the brexit fallout effects the profitability of that plant then thats 1000 jobs at risk. But thats not necessarily a no deal brexit story, that isjust a brexit story. If brexit leads to a lost of profitability in the plant then those jobs are at risk. 80 the then those jobs are at risk. 8096 the of cars produced in the plant go to europe so it is doubly at risk. The society of Motor Manufacturers and traders who represent all car dealers were warning a couple of weeks ago that this could be catastrophic for britain if we go for a hard no deal, catastrophic for britain if we go fora hard no deal, hard catastrophic for britain if we go for a hard no deal, hard brexit. Lets turn to the daily mail. Why is it so hard to see your gp . Because the numbers of people going to their gp have risen dramatically. In some areas of the country like kent, they see numbers of people wanting to sign up with their gp go up by 31 . One of the problems we had was that people were going straight to a e and a e was getting full of people. They were trying to stop people do that. Now the gps are. Ive tried to see my gp, i have to wait a couple of weeks. Its a good job my leg is in dropping off stop me this story says there are fewer gps. Said the inevitable result is its harder to see them. In the way the nhs works is, youve got to go through yourgp to gain works is, youve got to go through your gp to gain access to health care. And gps take years to train and these days its too complicated and these days its too complicated a job. Youre expected to know everything and you cant. Gps also are expected to run their own gp practice more than theyve ever had to, so youve got a perfect storm of gps having to do a lot of other stuff. Going back to the front page of the telegraph, i didnt realise this was a first. Its been set by the duchess of sussex. This is her going to edit vogue magazine. The duchess of sussex. This is her going to edit vogue magazinelj would going to edit vogue magazine. would have thought guest editor would have thought guest editor would have thought guest editor would have been in that position a long time ago but its a first. Shes not putting herself on the cover because that would be boastful, she says, but the issue is including 15 inspiring women, including 15 inspiring women, including Michelle Obama and doctor jane goodall the primatologist. Youre good at doing fashion stories, have you thought of doing more of this . Laughter shes on the front page of several papers. What do you think of her being guest editor . I think its great because the editor is black and a man, so theres two firsts for vogue magazine. To comment. Does she have the credentials . Who has . Laughter its not for me to say but the daily mail has got her feminist icons and asks its readers if they agree with her is modern choices stop she has form on rights and feminism. Maybe we could ask you to join cobra. Laughter thank you. Lynn and john will be back at 11. 30 for another look at the papers, and dont forget you can see the front pages of the papers online on the bbc news website. Its all there for you seven days a week. And if you miss the programme any evening you can watch it later on bbc iplayer. Next on bbc news its click. Its the hardest problem in technology and one that could change everything. This week, were 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 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. Welcomes business and new people and technology. Our 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. Its kind of great to be the centre of that. Well, chandler, i believe, was chosen because it has very wide streets, its very clean streets, theyre 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 industrys testbed. Today, im taking a ride in one of the most prolific types of self driving cars here, made by googles 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 cant with our eyes. On top, weve got loads of normal cameras looking in every direction. And the fact that theres loads of them means that they can judge distances by seeing how different objects move in relation to each other. Now, theres 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, lets go for a ride. Ooh, we have our safety driver. 0k. And away we go. Computer please remember to buckle your seatbelt. Weve 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, thats the experiment. When you go out on the streets here, when you cross on the crosswalk, and theres 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, its 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 didnt. 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 ubers Self Driving Technology on that night . It cant 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 youve 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 that 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 hadnt 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 didntjibe 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 theyre 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 weve 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. Theyre not saying its done, because its not. This not a solved problem, this is a hard problem, it is many years before you can buy a car that has no Steering Wheel and you can say, ill 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 ex
