And sarah Clive Sinclair, the Home Computing Pioneer has died at the age of 81. Live from our studio in singapore. This is bbc news. It is newsday. The Intelligence Steel announced his 2a hours ago between the us The Uk and australia has been created in very different ways, the White House has been outlining the advantages of closer ties in the western pacific, but for china, the extension of us power into what it sees as its sphere of influence is somewhat provocative, and there has been some Collateral Damage coming from france, which is serious at the deal which is serious at the deal which replaces its sale of submarines to australia with ones made in america.

The us might have led the exit from afghanistan, but this agreement shows its not turning its back on chinas growing influence in the pacific. Jonathan bl, bbc news. One perhaps unintended consequence of the Aukus Deal as its being called is the strain its put on relations between the us and france. Paris is angry at losing a multi billion Dollar Contract to Supply Australia with submarines. There have been harsh words and even the symbolic cancellation of a gala in washington. Heres the french foreign minister, yves le drian. Translation its a stab in the back. I we had established a relationship of trust with australia. But that trust has been broken. Theres a lot of bitterness about this cancellation. For more on this now is nomia iqbal, Our Washington correspondent. I asked her, how would you describe the french reaction. They are so angry about whats happened, and you have the secretary of state, antony blinken, trying to reassure france, saying, we still value you as an ally, this is about us deepening relationships in the indo pacific region. But the french are not buying that, as we heard there from the french foreign minister, as well. I dont think its just about the financial hit, either. Its about the political isolation, its about not being a part of these decisions that are being made and then, when you add brexit to it, i think its all a bit of an unholy mix for the french. And just on the foreign minister, what really struck me were the words. He said it was a unilateral, brutal, unpredictable decision like those of president trump. Former president trump. Comparing biden and his administration to trump and his administration, i dont think thatll go down well in the White House. No, not at all. But funnily enough, the words that were hearing from france, possibly echoing the words that were also hearing from china. China obviously very furious, seeing this as a targeted attack on beijing. Whats the us responses been to that, if anything . Theyve not reacted to what chinas said about this deal. Of course, america didnt really mention beijing by name when they were holding these discussions. But were in the era of the great Power Rivalry so on the one hand, you have the west saying, look, china is an undemocratic country, they dont play by the rules like the rest of us, they dont respect human rights, look at the uighur crisis, for example but on the other hand, this is also a strategic thing, as well, because the us is the worlds greatest superpower. And when you are in that position, you want to stay that way. And they look at china as a challenge. So, all these flashpoints become more Concrete Concerns so trade, whats happening in the south china sea, the military might of china these are all things that america takes really seriously, its really concerned about, not just the threat to america but to its allies, as well. And, as we heard there, chinas criticised this deal, describing this Security Pact as extremely irresponsible and narrow minded. Tough words from china, as well. Lets take a look at some other stories in the headlines. Two men have been charged with the murder of the journalist lyra mckee, who was shot during rioting in londonderry in Northern Ireland in 2019. The men, aged 21 and 33, were arrested on Thursday Morning and also a number of other charges including firearms possession, rioting and arson.

Fossil Fuel Combustion is causing Air Pollution, climate change. I think there are opportunities to improve existing sets of policies, for example, as the clip mentioned, there are Coal Power plants just 100 miles outside of jakarta. These plants are relatively dirty, in fact, they can emit three seven times more pollution than similar plants and china. In addition, Emission Standards for new Gasoline Vehicles in Indonesia Arent as strict as they are in india, so there are areas of improvement to be made. They can also do better in terms of enforcing compliance and penalising excessive polluters. That was him speaking to me earlier. If you want to get in touch about any of our stories, get in touch.

Our Headlines China responds with fury to a new Security Deal between the us, britain and australia, saying the move shows a cold war mentality. Landmark case in indonesia a court finds the prime Minister And Cabinet negligent in tackling Air Pollution in the capital, jakarta. The Uk Government is expected to announce changes on friday to announce changes on friday to the rules for international travel. Among them could be a simpler Traffic Light System for green, amber, and red listed countries, and a few attacks. Our reporter explains how the new system could work. The first Potential Change involves pcr test, you need them to enter The Uk. The Travel Industry says they are too expensive. The government says they are needed to attract new variants of concern, but some say that even with the current system it isnt being done properly. Listen to this the chair of the Uk Transport select back in february when fewer people travelled, about 50 of all Pcr Tests were sequenced positive, for the first part ofjuly, 500,000 people came back to this country, doctors, we had some covid positives, and only 5 were sequenced for variants of concerns. One of the changes under consideration is that those will be replaced by a lateral Flow Test for double vaccinated passengers. That might lead to some concern amongst public health experts, but the Travel Industry says that if these changes arent made, it could be a real problem. Look at this statement from the Trade Body airlines uk. The ceo says. The other Change Talk about is the Traffic Light System. That is the system that determines which countries you can and cant go to, and how you have to quarantine on arrival. It is speculated in newspapers that it may be simplified so that the Amber Category may go, and those on red may be hard or decreased significantly. There is concern amongst many people that the government needs to act now. There is pressure on the government to signify the system and encourage more people to be vaccinated, and look out for many thousands of jobs that could be at risk after the scheme and is at the end of the month. We understand an announcement will be made on friday afternoon, but the changes still need to be signed off. Sir Clive Sinclair, the british inventor who created one of the first Pocket Calculators and brought Home Computers to the masses has died at the age of 81. He launched the first affordable Consumer Computer in 1984 less than £100. The bbc� s Technology Correspondent reports. His Drive And Enthusiasm made Him One Of The Best known inventors.

The whole business of invention is nonmaterial. I of invention is nonmaterial. His fascination with gadgets started at school and, by his late teens, he was selling his own electronic kits by Mail Order and writing technical manuals. He then put a magnifying bubble over each digit to make it visible. This saw him launch his first Pocket Calculator in 1972. Soon, competition from cheaper japanese versions forced him to slash prices. The failure of his next innovation a digital watch brought his company to its knees. Undaunted, he Set Up his research company, and in 1980 launched a personal computer that was groundbreaking. It sold for under £100. It was its Colour Display that was its biggest success, credited with launching The Uks Computer And Video industries according to some. More money had been poured into his obsession with a new form of urban transport. This vehicle, launched in the winter of 1985 became something of a national drug. Many critics complained it was unsafe on busy urban roads. You try some is, they succeed, others dont. I dont look back on it and say to myself, that was a wild idea that failed, i dont think that is true. I dont think that is true. I dont think that is true. I dont think it was good enough to succeed, simple as that. Having run out of money, he was forced to sell the Computer Business to a budding entrepreneur. Undeterred, he continued his quest for a new kind of personal transport. An Electric Bicycle proved no more popular than the previous. His brilliant inventor who gave millions that is how he will be remembered. The Computer Pioneer Sir Clive Sinclair has died at the age of 81. Joining me now to talk about the impact of his inventions as our Games Journalist from Pc Game at magazine. Lovely to have you here. He is such a legend. What do you think was the biggest contribution to help kickstart The Uks Computer Industry . Definitely it was Sir Clive Computer Industry . Definitely it was sir Clive Sinclair it was sir Clive Sinclair always had a focus on affordability, and that had an impact on It Notjust the british industry but globally. Jack, the commodore founder, very important to american computing. He took inspiration from clive being able to launch things like the zx80. It also came even cheaper if you are able to solder it yourself. So clive, He Rated on that in 1981, 1982. You saw the Zx Spectrum that came in two models.

No, but that isnt really has a legacy. The c5 no, but that isnt really has a legacy. The cs was something that he poured a lot of money into, launched in 1985. It was a head of its time. Some of his inventions were ahead of their time. The reason he will be remembered as for the Spectrum Computers which led to british sovereign during the 805, widening the soldering industry, and it is why it is so healthy right now. What were the perceptions of clive when he was at the height of his fame . What did people think about him or talk about two that time . He was talked about as a tinkerer, there is a great british tradition of the inventor or a tinkerer, slightly eccentric. He fit well into that. If you look through his career, there are a lot of values, as well as the massive successes. You mentioned that digital watch in the 19705. He had massive success with the Spectrum Computers, then he goes into the c5 which is a massive failure. He remained, i think, slightly obsessed by this idea of personal mobility and electronics, so he did the bike in the 905. I think the last time he had something was the 2011 electronic scooter. Sorry. Indeed, we can see some of those pictures. Such a legend, as we have been discussing. Thank you so much forjoining us to talk about sir Clive Sinclairs legacy.
