cup. but that's it from me. back to you. that's it. sir keir starmer in on the andrew marr show tomorrow morning at nine. but from me, and the team, have a very good night. hello, and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow morning. with me i got the political editor of the people and the sunday mirror and also the political commentatorjoe phillips. we have had a few technical issues here this evening, so we only have a small selection of tomorrow's front pages available, butjoe and nigel of course ever the professional is doing their best, thank you very much for that, now looking very quickly at the saarte front pages, the sunday telegraph says boris johnson urges haulage firms to raise drivers' pay and it's the labour party conference this week, the sunday mirror has a pledge from keir starmer that he will tax primary schools in order to help porous children. the energy shortages forcing the government into approving a new wave of nuclear reactors. and the sunday people has a plea from marcus rashford to the government not to cut universal credit by £20 a week, so that is a little flavour of our many paper reviews, lovely to see you, jo and nigel. jo, we will start off at the front page of the telegraph, johnson demands a pay rise for truckers. this is the government pushing it straight back to industry to try and solve this crisis, this shortage of fuel drivers. it's interesting, i was interesting your —— watching your interview with leslie 0'brien, saying they had met the government three months ago and asked the drivers to be put onto the emergency shortage list and the government refused, so whatever is happening, whether you put wages up, whether you get retired drivers to come back to work, whether you train more or whether you have a programme which is supposed to be announced, it was still not solve the immediate problem, and the knock—on of this is deliveries of everything, it's not just fuel because there is not a shortage of fuel, it's the shortage of drivers.- at _ shortage of fuel, it's the shortage of drivers.- at the -

here is at the moment. let's turn to the sunday mirror and of course the | the sunday mirror and of course the labour conference kicked off today, kicked off by angela rayner, what did you make of that, jo, and also the front page of the mirror, sir keir saying he will tax private schools to help poorer kids? i’m schools to help poorer kids? i'm sure nigel— schools to help poorer kids? i“n sure nigel will talk more about the mirror story given it is his paper. but unfortunately the labour party seems to have shot itself in both feet by creating a completely unnecessary internal row about how to elect a leader, keir starmer�*s bid to stop another left wing takeover, but of course it has created huge divisions, he has had to row back on it, there is already talk of angela rayner pitching for the leadership, she did very well in the leadership, she did very well in the house of commons earlier this week when she was standing in port said car because the prime minister was away, so it is the two deputies, but this is a headline that is pretty meaningless about taxing private schools. actually, there is a crisis about energy prices and job shortages that we have been talking about, there is a crisis looming for the 5 million families who will lose £200 a week of universal credit, thatis £200 a week of universal credit, that is the sort of thing that the labour party really need to be talking about, not something that may or may not come to fruition. they just don't seem may or may not come to fruition. theyjust don't seem to get it and they have so many opportunities with so much chaos going on around them, and the government fighting on all fronts. this does not seem to me to be the right pitch to take.— be the right pitch to take. nigel, this is your _ be the right pitch to take. nigel, this is your paper, _ be the right pitch to take. nigel, this is your paper, did _ be the right pitch to take. nigel, this is your paper, did you -

businesses. let's turn to the sunday times, so many options we have - businesses. let's turn to the sunday l times, so many options we have been hearing about following the energy and gas crisis, one is on the front page of the times, energy panic ushers in a new nuclear age, jo. it's quite an interesting story because rolls—royce are leading a consortium to develop what they are calling many nuclear reactors, and they are expected to get the go—ahead from the business secretary later on this week. and it does seem to me that this is a change of focus and the government is certainly seem to be changing its focus towards nuclear energy because what we have seen is we don't have the storage capacity for gas, and we have seen what has happened with that in the collapse of various energy companies in the last week and the prospect of rising fuel, but it has to be said, the government... previous governments were warned about this lack of storage capability more than ten years ago and in 2017 our biggest gas storage place was closed down, so all of this stuff is great, nuclear processing plants and nuclear processing plants and nuclear energy might be the way to go but all of this reeks of last minute not thinking, and i'm afraid we are entering a time where the focus very much should be on green, clean not least because of cut, but it's about having long—term plans and looking at —— looking out for the future, so this might happen but none of them would be up and running until 2050, so it's a long time. it's a case of firefighting. nigel, it's a case of firefighting. nigel, i would like to get to the last paper, seeing as we only have four. the front page of the sunday people, and its marcus rashford axing the £25 benefit cut now. he and its marcus rashford axing the £25 benefit cut now.— and its marcus rashford axing the £25 benefit cut now. he is “oining a chorus of £25 benefit cut now. he is “oining a ohous of row i £25 benefit cut now. he is “oining a chorus of tory and h £25 benefit cut now. he is “oining a chorus of tory and labour _ £25 benefit cut now. he is joining a chorus of tory and labour mps -

will leave it there for now, but we will leave it there for now, but we will have another papers edition, hopefully a longer one with more papers, but for now always a pleasure, thank you very much, see you later. and thank you forjoining us, we will be back again at 11:30pm, i'm back at the top of the hour with more news, coming up next, click. in the middle of the otherworldly landscape of iceland, something strange is going on. 130,000 barley plants are slowly making their way from one end of this greenhouse to the other. it is in the food chain but it's not food for us and it's not food for animals, no. this is something much, much weirder than that. this grass is a host. it's been genetically modified to carry a special protein called a growth factor in its seeds. once the plants reach the end of theirjourney, these seeds are harvested, milled and purified and the resulting growth factor protein can be used to help produce something very unexpected. meat, in a lab, without the animals. i think we will reach the point where it's not, like, nice to have. i think we have to have it. the earth is not going to grow, we're not going to get more agriculture area, the population is rising, and we have to feed all of the people. the argument for growing meat in labs without living animals is that the process will eventually require less land, less energy and produce less harmful waste. and it takes more agricultural land to go grow feed for the animals that we eat. we are are essentially bypassing that. so we don't have to kill all these animals, we just have to take the stem cell from them and i think this is a more viable and more environmental, much better option. companies using cow stem cells to make lab grown beef burgers and even lab grown steak are already trying out growth factors made here in iceland. and although the first—ever growth factors came from animals, it's hoped that this barley plant method will be cheaper and scalable because nature can do a lot of the heavy lifting. but at the moment, research is still ongoing to come up with the barley that produces the very best growth factors, which is why the volcanic and geothermal peculiarities of iceland are an ideal place to experiment with different growing conditions. they're growing the barley in this which is volcanic pumice from mount hekla which is somewhere over there. the good thing about pumice is it is inert so it doesn't really release any nutrients into the plants itself and that means these guys can completely control the nutrient mix that the barley gets. we are here in a high—tech greenhouse that is using geothermal energy for heating and for the electricity. we are using hydroponic cultivation. the computer decides when to open windows, when to turn off lights, went to pump in c02, what nutrition to feed these plants and so forth. but eventually these carefully programmed plants will have to be harvested in regularfields to produce enough growth factor for a global label lab grown meat industry, and barley specifically has been chosen because it can grow in many different climates and it also doesn't cross pollinate with other plants around it. the typical farm in iceland, which is about 150 hectares, could actually produce about 10,000 tons of meat. that's if lab grown meat is indeed the answer. after all, aren't we all supposed to be eating more greens? well, not too far away another company is tapping into iceland's geothermal power to put us on an altogether different diet. this is food for us, or at least it will be one day. it's not something we're currently used to eating, mind you, but tastes change. it's algae. i know — sounds kind of ewww, doesn't it? but the microalgae growing in these test units are rich in protein and omega 3, much more so than traditional crops grown in a field, and they also consume way fewer natural resources too. in these systems, we can grow a ton of protein and using 300—400 timesj less water and 14—1500 times less land than the best thing _ that we know today. and, in fact, because algae is a plant, it has another environmental benefit — photosynthesis. we get the c02 from the power plant, we get into our system, _ i we use algae to actually fix that. c02 into biomass and they breathe out oxygen, so oxygen - is actually our only byproduct of this product. which is not a bad byproduct, really. the health authorities don't seem to mind. i he laughs. so, right here in geothermal iceland where electricity and hot water are both essentially clean, green and on tap, growing this algae ends up being carbon negative. it pulls more c02 out of the environment than the electricity puts back in. but in order to feed the world, these algae farms would need to be placed around the globe. and not everywhere's on top of a volcano. the system itself is always carbon negative because we take in c02,| we fix it in biomass - and we breathe out oxygen. but if you're having to use electricity that's generated through coal... exactly. ..then the system is generating c02 as well... yes, yes. and can then you connect the pipe from the powerstation, straight back into the algae and suck it back in? that is actually a possibility. this is what we're doing right now. these guys, they need c02, - so we could actually take whatever c02 into the system, theoretically. and, in fact, vaxa is thinking even further ahead than improving the environment here on earth. growing food in small spaces with limited water and producing oxygen as a byproduct sounds like a pretty useful thing to be able to do, i don't know, in a moon base or on mars. if the colonists can stomach it, that is. all right, let me ask you a question, what does algae taste like? um, basically, the medium it's in. so this algae is a cold seawater algae. - salty, then? so it's salty. the problem is, thisl one is fairly robust... by fairly robust, you mean a tough chew? it's a tough chew, yeah, it is. he laughs. 0k, i've been made an offer that i can't refuse. kiti said, would you like to drink some algae? of course i would! oh, my life! for real, or? 0k. i can do it first, if you want. you're not having a laugh? i can do it first. yeah, it's fishy. yeah. needs a little, um... what's it called? a lie down afterwards, that's it. 0k. hmm, maybe it will take a more creative chef than me to be able to sell this straight onto the plate. the streets of san francisco are home to many self—driving cars so naturally the sky above the city is home to a self—flying plane. this is xwing, a company that has developed an autonomous flying system that handles everything from taxiing to take off to landing to parking. the system is similar to self—driving cars and uses a lot of the same tech like lidar cameras and sensors to navigate the skies. while a command centre on the ground helps the autonomous system communicate with the humans in air traffic control. and now that i'm suited and booted, let's see this thing in action. so this is basically a beta version of what they're working on, which means it will also make always require a safety pilot on board but the company is working to be entirely autonomous meaning none of these by the end of next year, and they're also hoping to get faa certification in 2024. all that the human pilot on board has to do is physically turn the plane on, check that all systems are go and press the button that activates the autonomous system. then it's up to the plane. it does have to liaise with a human in the ground control centre while it's making its way to the runway for takeoff but that's just to ensure its safe to cross certain parts of the strip. during takeoff, it's almost like an ghost is in control because all of the parts are still moving but i'm not saying what's moving them. once you've trained a robot once, you can build as many robots as you want, they all do the same thing, right? yeah. some of what the sensors are picking up is augmented over a realtime view of three cameras mounted on the exterior of the plane. the purpleish bits off to the side are other planes that are in the area, while the bluish coloured lines in front of the plane are the flight path. on our way back to base the team decided to let me fly the plane. so we're taking control of the aeroplane. so he's out of the loop because he doesn't know what you are doing. all right. i don't know what i'm doing. perfect. after a quick lesson on xbox controller, i was flying a plane for the first time ever. sure, i was just controlling the direction and the altitude but it was a lot of fun. they even let me go as far as a 45 degrees tilt. aeroplanes have been equipped with autopilot systems for years already but the system xwing has developed takes that to the next level. if i was just a passenger in this plane, i would have never known it was being flown autonomously. the ride, takeoff and landing were as smooth as any other flight i've been on. i've always wanted to get a pilot's license, but maybe tech like this means i won't ever need to, but it's still likely a ways off before we see widespread adaptation and faa approval of unmanned aircrafts. and that's all we have time for in the short version of click for this week. the full—length version is brilliant, check it out, please, it's on iplayer and it's waiting for you right now. and don't forget you can catch up with our latest exploits on social media whenever you fancy. we live on facebook, youtube, instagram and twitter @bbcclick. thanks for watching and we'll see you soon. very warm this weekend for the time of year. _ very warm this weekend for the time of year. rather— very warm this weekend for the time of year, rather gloomy _ very warm this weekend for the time of year, rather gloomy for _ very warm this weekend for the time of year, rather gloomy for many -
