and the musician terence wilson — better knowns as astro from the band ubllo — has died after a short illness. he was 64. hello and welcome to our look ahead to what's being covered in tomorrow's papers. jo phillips is here, a political commentator, and nigel nelson, political editor of the sunday mirror and sunday people. lets take a look at some of sunday s front pages, starting with the sunday times. it splashes with a new investigation in the ongoing row over sleaze. it claims the conservative party has been offering multimillionaire donors a seat in the house of lords, if they give more than £3 million and take on a role as party treasurer. meanwhile, the observer says the prime minister is dealing with more sleeze allegations, this time around coronavirus contracts. the paper says the row is now hitting the tories polling figures, as opposition parties turn the focus on to deals made during the pandemic. the sunday telegraph claims to have seen a leaked document which shows the uk is willing to walk away from three eu science programmes — worth £15 billion to brussels — if relations with the bloc don t improve. elsewhere, claims of an exclusive from foreign secretary, liz truss, on the front of the sunday express. it says she s set out a vision for newjobs for britain as she embarks on a tour of south east asia. and the daily star trying to whip up some strictly come dancing gossip for its front page. it says dancer kai widdrington has met the family of her dance partner aj odudu — with some carefully chosen pictures of the pair dancing together. let's talk to our guests. good evening. he wants to start with the observer, the headlinejohnson�*s sleaze crisis deepens amid pressure on covid deals. sleaze crisis deepens amid pressure on covid deals-— on covid deals. neither one of us could wade _ on covid deals. neither one of us could wade into _ on covid deals. neither one of us could wade into this _ on covid deals. neither one of us could wade into this sleaze. - on covid deals. neither one of us could wade into this sleaze. this| on covid deals. neither one of us. could wade into this sleaze. this is not surprising, we have all heard whatjohn major had to say today, excoriating attack on borisjohnson, his cabinet and his way of government. but this is now a new twist on an old story, if you like. there are questions being raised about the fact that owen paterson, he resigned, caused all this rumpus, he resigned, caused all this rumpus, he was being paid £8,000 a month by a laboratory for about 16 hours work. that company was apparently awarded to covid testing contracts worth several hundred million pounds. and there are questions being asked about what was he doing, notjust being paid, lobbying for them but how this process happened without any proper competition. that is adding to the woes of sleaze which appears to be engulfing this government, like we haven't seen for a long time. government, like we haven't seen for a long time-— a long time. nigel, is this cutting throu~h a long time. nigel, is this cutting through to _ a long time. nigel, is this cutting through to your— a long time. nigel, is this cutting through to your readers?

yes being paid by, does it matter now he has resigned?— has resigned? yes it does. although the government _ has resigned? yes it does. although the government would _ has resigned? yes it does. although the government would say _ has resigned?

yes. if they have got any gumption then they need to start asking themselves, is this the man they want to lead their party into the next election? i can bet you there is a lot of tory mps who might have been having constituency surgeries or meeting with their constituents over this weekend he will have felt the tongue lashing and are discussed, i think, the tongue lashing and are discussed, ithink, of the tongue lashing and are discussed, i think, of the general public. this is, you are knee deep in it, it is absolutely endemic. the way borisjohnson tried to get round it by changing the rules and getting rid of the committee that was set up to police this, it is appalling and asjohn major said, he has bypassed parliament. lindsay hoyle, the speaker of the house of commons is said to be absolutely furious. there is a lot of people who are very very disappointed and angry, and probably worried about their futures when it comes to the next election. back to the observer. _ comes to the next election. back to the observer, headline _ comes to the next election. back to the observer, headline fury - comes to the next election. back to the observer, headline fury and - the observer, headline fury and optimism in the glasgow rain. nigel, tell us about the thousands who turned out today?

i think people would do very well to remember that - that story? i think people would do very well to remember that hours | that story? i think people would do | very well to remember that hours of us going into lockdown, the bbc stepped up to the plate with an absolute fantastic array of educational programmes to help kids who were out of school. i think it is really easy for people to criticise the bbc, because it is seen as bias, depending on which side you are on. this seems to me, nadeem doris, the government who love to take a pop at the bbc, we need to recognise it is one thing this country can be really, really proud of. at the moment are standing in the world is pretty low, so we should look after it and recognise the huge value for money that it really is. the huge value for money that it reall is. , ., , , really is. joe phillips, nigel nelson, thank— really is. joe phillips, nigel nelson, thank you - really is. joe phillips, nigel nelson, thank you very i really is. joe phillips, nigel i nelson, thank you very much. really is. joe phillips, nigel - nelson, thank you very much. that is it for the papers for this hour and we will be back at 11.38 for another look at what is making the sunday papers. this week, sustainability is the name of the game, which is why i'm on the eve ecargo bike. it's electric, it's made from natural and recycled materials, and it's usually used for inner city deliveries. but today, it is delivering me to the studio. nice wheels! oh, hello down there! hey! sinclair c5 — blast from the past! i know! an icon of the �*80s created by a computing icon. in memory of sir clive sinclair, i'm taking this for a spin, but it's really been souped up. inside is an escooter with some brand new batteries, which means i can go pretty fast! here! wait for me! cheering and applause. spencer chuckles. whoa! ah! 0h! good engines! that's how to arrive in a studio! hey! welcome to click! hello, hello, hello! oh, look at us! we've got a shiny studio! we have an audience! hello, audience! cheering and applause. and right next door, through that wall and across the river a bit, we have some very important neighbours. yes, we're here at bbc scotland in pacific quay glasgow and just over there, the united nations climate conference, cop26, is hosting leaders from around the world, along with 25,000 delegates from 196 nations. the question is will they agree to take the steps needed to tackle our climate emergency? the un says current systems won't suffice. we need new ideas and solutions to secure our future. and so in this show, we're asking what role do technology and innovation play in helping reduce our emissions? can technology save our world? so, let's start, and did you know that one of the biggest causes of greenhouse gas emissions is the agriculture industry? now, we know we need to cut down on our meat consumption and one of the reasons is that cattle are responsible for 10% of those emissions. yes — but it's not from what we think it is, is it? the back end? no, no, it's not, no. nearly all methane from cows — 95% — comes from the front and not the back. yep, it's all about the burps. 10% of our entire greenhouse gas emissions come from cow burps. and that means you, magenta — everybody, meet magenta, magenta, everybody. applause. she's appearing here alongside her her team and her showbiz agent eileen wall, head of research at scotland's rural college. eileen, welcome. hi, spencer, and hello, magenta. hello, magenta. can i ask you what is magenta wearing and why? magenta's wearing the latest in wearable technology for our bovine friends. she's got two bits of kit on her. one, a pedometer — kind of like what we all wear on our wrists — that measures what she is doing, lying down, sitting, walking around and how much energy she's using. and around her neck, she's got something that measures her head movements so we can know when she's eating and when she might be producing something out of her front end. and that helps you to work out how much methane she's producing? yeah, so methane is produced after she's eaten her meals, so if we know how much she's eating, how often she's eating, we'll be able to extrapolate her methane, as well as being able to measure it to compare it. and you have belch chambers, is that right? we do. we use those for research, that's not something we use routinely in the field, and we use it very infrequently to really get an idea of how the methane changes over time, how it might differ for this cow over another cow or eating different foods. is there any way we can find out how much methane magenta's producing right now? yeah, so the equipment that we have in the chamber is not exactly the same as this — this is a laser methane reader. right. that measures the parts per million of methane that might be coming out of magenta's front end at any one time. i'm going to get out of the way because it is a laser! there's a laser, and we all know how dangerous lasers are. so magenta, if you don't mind. yeah, don't listen, magenta! 0k. oh, she's licking it, she knows it's coming. she does not chase it like a cat does. oh, she's... and the reading is 18 ppm. so it's been a while since she's had a lot of food. ok, she's having a clean day. well, that went a lot more smoothly than it may have done! but what comes out of a cow can also be affected by what you put into a cow. this lot are eating feed created from seaweed found in the waters of hawaii, and its makers, blue ocean barns, claim it cuts emissions by 80%. but will it make your beef taste fishy? apparently not, because the thing is... bugs! come and get your lovely bugs! your tasty, crunchy, nutritious bugs! spencer, what are you doing? lara, welcome to my wondrous emporium filled to the brim with fine foods from the future. oh, great, because i am absolutely starving. 0k. well, i tell you what, get your lips around these delicacies. um, ok, i'm actually thinking that because our audience have gone to the trouble of coming here to join us today, that they may be more deserving of this than me. i'm sure you'd love to try some, wouldn't you? just here, we've got the first course for you. help yourselves. did we fill in the forms for this? i'm sure there were forms. listen, trust me, they're not bad. i've eaten roasted mealworm in china and it never did me any harm. see, in the future, we might be eating more insects than meat. they are cheap, they are richer in protein, calcium and iron and have less fats than beef, pork or chicken. best of all, there are bazillions of them. yes, i heard — there are 1.5 billion per person on earth. what do you think? how do they taste? they're very crispy. crispy. you don't look too impressed. and you? like roasted chickpeas. ok, that's not bad! interesting. do you like roasted chickpeas? love them, yeah. 0k! fairenough! how about... ..these? ok, that actually looks borderline appetising. hmm—mm. do you want to try? i think i may be asking you again. yeah, right, ok. just behind here you will find that. all right. just have a taste of that. there we go, anytime you're ready, and i will tell you that these are — drum roll — spicy crickets. yes, these dishes are made from insect packed by a british firm called bug — who love bugs, obviously — and they say that bugs use less water, they use less land than animals, they need less feed than animals and, in fact, they can be fed on the things that we throw away. but are they delicious? weakly: they're quite spicy! clears throat. 0k. a bit of a kick! right, i do not think you're impressed by any of this! i think it's like _ sweet—and—sour chicken. ok — again, that's not bad! you'll eat anything! chickpeas and sweet and sour chicken! i think you've got dinner here sorted, haven't you? totally! now, it's all very well having tasty stuff to eat but in terms of the climate, how our food is produced is key. and our very ownjen copestake is in a greenhouse for us. jen. yes, i'm here in the norwich greenhouse and it looks completely different than it did on my last visit. it's absolutely filled with plants now. there are 378,000 tomato plants here, and that represents 5% of the uk's consumption of tomatoes. last year, we saw this world—first project being built using an environmentally friendly heating system. a typical greenhouse would burn fossil fuels to create the heat that you need to go through these rails. but our greenhouse takes waste heat from sewage treatment works. we use that heat instead of burning fossil fuels. the hard hats and hi—vis gear we wore last time have been replaced by coveralls to protect the crops from bringing in external bugs and viruses. workers here have their clothes cleaned on—site. and how many people are working here now? because when i came before, there was nobody. yeah, so we have about 50 people currently working in here on picking. so these tomatoes are going out to the shops? yes, yeah, they're being picked, ready to be packed and you'll see them in the supermarket soon. and we see different varieties of tomatoes, so can you explain what's going on? as we've got here, this is ready to be picked. these ones are just starting to get some colour on, so they'll be picked within the next ten days. we introduced predatory insects. at the beginning the year, we introduced macrolophus pygmaeus, which is a true bug. it's a predatory insect that feeds on anything like whitefly, aphids, commonly known as greenfly, spider mites. there is one of my macrolophus. ah! hello! so we do not want to damage him? he's fine? he looks like a greenfly. yeah, he's just searching away, looking for something to eat. because we're coming to the end of the crop, we've taken the top of the plant off. so this would have extended all the way to the top of the greenhouse? up to the top of the wire, the string here. oh, wow. so we keep a buffer over the top of the greenhouse we can control the atmosphere and the climate within here. and more produce is growing in a greenhouse just next door using the same green technology. how many cucumbers are you growing here in the other greenhouse? the other greenhouse here is m million cucumbers. 11t million? 22 million peppers. 22 million peppers?! i don't know how many tons of tomatoes, but a lot. it's done better than we'd anticipated in its first year, if i'm honest. yeah. um, but, you know, great. so this project has proven that you can grow a large scale of produce in a low—carbon way — you just need to be near a waste heat source, and there are plenty of those around the world. thanks, jen. of course, once our crops have been harvested, they need to be stored safely so they don't spoil. an estimated 630 million tons of grain goes bad each year, which is such a waste. well, doctor lorenzo conti thinks he might have a solution. doctor lorenzo, what is it? what we have developed, lara, is the world's first subterranean drone and we're using it specifically to help the grain storage operators maintain the quality of their stock. you called it a drone but it doesn't look much like drone. that's right. since there wasn't a word in the dictionary to describe what it is we have come up with one. we call it a crover. how does it work and what does it do exactly? it swims through grain in storage, like in silos and sheds, monitoring the conditions of the grain like temperature and moisture and helping maintain quality. how does this vary from conventional methods of looking after your grain? well, traditionally you would need a farmer to physically walk on top of the grain bulk with a heavy spear and taking samples at a few points which is dangerous and in some situations not possible to do. ok, that sounds like a biggerjob. so do you think farmers are going to use this? right now, we're focused mostly on centralised grain storage hubs which are usually owned by grain merchants and port operators but we'd like to develop in future a version that is suitable for farmers as well. ok, and i'm hoping when it's used in the real world, it doesn't mix up the grains like that. i can hardly look! thank you so much, dr lorenzo. thank you, lara. and that is it for our click specialfrom cop26 in glasgow. as ever, you can keep up with the team throughout the week. find us on social media, on youtube, instagram, facebook and twitter @bbcclick. thanks for watching and we'll see you soon. bye— bye. hello. only one part of their weather picture and the other was a strengthening wind. northern scotland will get off to a stormy start on sunday morning. they could be some travel disruption as severe gales move through and still some outbreaks of rain. much of the rest of the uk, although breezy, it will get off to a dry start, cloudy skies in the west and temperature is around six to 11 celsius. focus on the winds on sunday morning, particularly across orkney and north east scotland. gusts up to 60 to 70 miles an hour, it may be more on the exposed coasts and hills and large waves on the coast as well. strong winds to stop the day and easing as the day goes on. maybe one or two showers with the cloud across the western side of the uk. most places as high pressure moves in it will have a dry sunday and the best of any sunny spells on the east. these temperatures are down on saturday's readings but on the mild side of average. as we go through sunday evening and night, clear spells to eastern parts of scotland and eastern parts of scotland and eastern side of england. it will allow for frost as temperatures drop close to freezing. we will keep the cloud in the west and temperatures holed up here. it is a mainly dry night to come. one of the weather system coming our way, this area of low pressure and the weather fronts around it. they will take this weather fronts outwards across the uk. it will take a lot of the week to do so. they will bring in outbreaks of rain across northern ireland on monday, into scotland and especially the north and west and we could see some reaching into parts of north—west england and wales, whereas the rest of wales and england will stay mainly dry with some sunny spells in eastern england, 11 degrees here. in belfast, up to m degrees. the breeze freshening across north—western areas. here comes the weather front moving slowly southwards as the week goes on. we will maintain a westerly or south—westerly flow into the uk so for the week ahead, things are looking mild. a lot of cloud around, if you sunny spell you'll delete that the spells gradually spreading southwards as the week goes on. hello, this is bbc news. i'm victoria with your headlines from the uk and around the world. nearly 100 people have died in an fuel tanker explosion in sierra leone, after the lorry collided with another vehicle in the capital, freetown. the former british prime minister sirjohn major says parliaments reputation has been trashed at home and abroad — after the government tried to block the suspension of an mp who broke lobbying rules. i think the way the government handled that was shameful and wrong, and unworthy of the best or indeed any government. rapper travis scott says he's "absolutely devastated" by the deaths of eight people, including a 11t—year—old, at the texas festival where he was performing. tens of thousands of people are marching around the world

and the musician terence wilson — better knowns as astro from the band ubllo — has died after a short illness. he was 64. hello and welcome to our look ahead to what's being covered in tomorrow's papers. jo phillips is here, a political commentator, and nigel nelson, political editor of the sunday mirror and sunday people. lets take a look at some of sunday s front pages, starting with the sunday times. it splashes with a new investigation in the ongoing row over sleaze. it claims the conservative party has been offering multimillionaire donors a seat in the house of lords, if they give more than £3 million and take on a role as party treasurer. meanwhile, the observer says the prime minister is dealing with more sleeze allegations, this time around coronavirus contracts. the paper says the row is now hitting the tories polling figures, as opposition parties turn the focus on to deals made during the pandemic. the sunday telegraph claims to have seen a leaked document which shows the uk is willing to walk away from three eu science programmes — worth £15 billion to brussels — if relations with the bloc don t improve. elsewhere, claims of an exclusive from foreign secretary, liz truss, on the front of the sunday express. it says she s set out a vision for newjobs for britain as she embarks on a tour of south east asia. and the daily star trying to whip up some strictly come dancing gossip for its front page. it says dancer kai widdrington has met the family of her dance partner aj odudu — with some carefully chosen pictures of the pair dancing together. let's talk to our guests. good evening. he wants to start with the observer, the headlinejohnson�*s sleaze crisis deepens amid pressure on covid deals. sleaze crisis deepens amid pressure on covid deals-— on covid deals. neither one of us could wade _ on covid deals. neither one of us could wade into _ on covid deals. neither one of us could wade into this _ on covid deals. neither one of us could wade into this sleaze. - on covid deals. neither one of us could wade into this sleaze. this| on covid deals. neither one of us. could wade into this sleaze. this is not surprising, we have all heard whatjohn major had to say today, excoriating attack on borisjohnson, his cabinet and his way of government. but this is now a new twist on an old story, if you like. there are questions being raised about the fact that owen paterson, he resigned, caused all this rumpus, he resigned, caused all this rumpus, he was being paid £8,000 a month by a laboratory for about 16 hours work. that company was apparently awarded to covid testing contracts worth several hundred million pounds. and there are questions being asked about what was he doing, notjust being paid, lobbying for them but how this process happened without any proper competition. that is adding to the woes of sleaze which appears to be engulfing this government, like we haven't seen for a long time. government, like we haven't seen for a long time-— a long time. nigel, is this cutting throu~h a long time. nigel, is this cutting through to _ a long time. nigel, is this cutting through to your— a long time. nigel, is this cutting through to your readers?

yes being paid by, does it matter now he has resigned?— has resigned? yes it does. although the government _ has resigned? yes it does. although the government would _ has resigned? yes it does. although the government would say _ has resigned?

yes. if they have got any gumption then they need to start asking themselves, is this the man they want to lead their party into the next election? i can bet you there is a lot of tory mps who might have been having constituency surgeries or meeting with their constituents over this weekend he will have felt the tongue lashing and are discussed, i think, the tongue lashing and are discussed, ithink, of the tongue lashing and are discussed, i think, of the general public. this is, you are knee deep in it, it is absolutely endemic. the way borisjohnson tried to get round it by changing the rules and getting rid of the committee that was set up to police this, it is appalling and asjohn major said, he has bypassed parliament. lindsay hoyle, the speaker of the house of commons is said to be absolutely furious. there is a lot of people who are very very disappointed and angry, and probably worried about their futures when it comes to the next election. back to the observer. _ comes to the next election. back to the observer, headline _ comes to the next election. back to the observer, headline fury - comes to the next election. back to the observer, headline fury and - the observer, headline fury and optimism in the glasgow rain. nigel, tell us about the thousands who turned out today?

the un says current systems won't suffice. we need new ideas and solutions to secure our future. and so in this show, we're asking what role do technology and innovation play in helping reduce our emissions? can technology save our world? so, let's start, and did you know that one of the biggest causes of greenhouse gas emissions is the agriculture industry? now, we know we need to cut down on our meat consumption and one of the reasons is that cattle are responsible for 10% of those emissions. yes — but it's not from what we think it is, is it? the back end? no, no, it's not, no. nearly all methane from cows — 95% — comes from the front and not the back. yep, it's all about the burps. 10% of our entire greenhouse gas emissions come from cow burps. and that means you, magenta — everybody, meet magenta, magenta, everybody. applause. she's appearing here alongside her her team and her showbiz agent eileen wall, head of research at scotland's rural college. eileen, welcome. hi, spencer, and hello, magenta. hello, magenta. can i ask you what is magenta wearing and why? magenta's wearing the latest in wearable technology for our bovine friends. she's got two bits of kit on her. one, a pedometer — kind of like what we all wear on our wrists — that measures what she is doing, lying down, sitting, walking around and how much energy she's using. and around her neck, she's got something that measures her head movements so we can know when she's eating and when she might be producing something out of her front end. and that helps you to work out how much methane she's producing? yeah, so methane is produced after she's eaten her meals, so if we know how much she's eating, how often she's eating, we'll be able to extrapolate her methane, as well as being able to measure it to compare it. and you have belch chambers, is that right? we do. we use those for research, that's not something we use routinely in the field, and we use it very infrequently to really get an idea of how the methane changes over time, how it might differ for this cow over another cow or eating different foods. is there any way we can find out how much methane magenta's producing right now? yeah, so the equipment that we have in the chamber is not exactly the same as this — this is a laser methane reader. right. that measures the parts per million of methane that might be coming out of magenta's front end at any one time. i'm going to get out of the way because it is a laser! there's a laser, and we all know how dangerous lasers are. so magenta, if you don't mind. yeah, don't listen, magenta! 0k. oh, she's licking it, she knows it's coming. she does not chase it like a cat does. oh, she's... and the reading is 18 ppm. so it's been a while since she's had a lot of food. ok, she's having a clean day. well, that went a lot more smoothly than it may have done! but what comes out of a cow can also be affected by what you put into a cow. this lot are eating feed created from seaweed found in the waters of hawaii, and its makers, blue ocean barns, claim it cuts emissions by 80%. but will it make your beef taste fishy? apparently not, because the thing is... bugs! come and get your lovely bugs! your tasty, crunchy, nutritious bugs! spencer, what are you doing? lara, welcome to my wondrous emporium filled to the brim with fine foods from the future. oh, great, because i am absolutely starving. 0k. well, i tell you what, get your lips around these delicacies. um, ok, i'm actually thinking that because our audience have gone to the trouble of coming here to join us today, that they may be more deserving of this than me. i'm sure you'd love to try some, wouldn't you? just here, we've got the first course for you. help yourselves. did we fill in the forms for this? i'm sure there were forms. listen, trust me, they're not bad. i've eaten roasted mealworm in china and it never did me any harm. see, in the future, we might be eating more insects than meat. they are cheap, they are richer in protein, calcium and iron and have less fats than beef, pork or chicken. best of all, there are bazillions of them. yes, i heard — there are 1.5 billion per person on earth. what do you think? how do they taste? they're very crispy. crispy. you don't look too impressed. and you? like roasted chickpeas. ok, that's not bad! interesting. do you like roasted chickpeas? love them, yeah. 0k! fairenough! how about... ..these? ok, that actually looks borderline appetising. hmm—mm. do you want to try? i think i may be asking you again. yeah, right, ok. just behind here you will find that. all right. just have a taste of that. there we go, anytime you're ready, and i will tell you that these are — drum roll — spicy crickets. yes, these dishes are made from insect packed by a british firm called bug — who love bugs, obviously — and they say that bugs use less water, they use less land than animals, they need less feed than animals and, in fact, they can be fed on the things that we throw away. but are they delicious? weakly: they're quite spicy! clears throat. 0k. a bit of a kick! right, i do not think you're impressed by any of this! i think it's like _ sweet—and—sour chicken. ok — again, that's not bad! you'll eat anything! chickpeas and sweet and sour chicken! i think you've got dinner here sorted, haven't you? totally! now, it's all very well having tasty stuff to eat but in terms of the climate, how our food is produced is key. and our very ownjen copestake is in a greenhouse for us. jen. yes, i'm here in the norwich greenhouse and it looks completely different than it did on my last visit. it's absolutely filled with plants now. there are 378,000 tomato plants here, and that represents 5% of the uk's consumption of tomatoes. last year, we saw this world—first project being built using an environmentally friendly heating system. a typical greenhouse would burn fossil fuels to create the heat that you need to go through these rails. but our greenhouse takes waste heat from sewage treatment works. we use that heat instead of burning fossil fuels. the hard hats and hi—vis gear we wore last time have been replaced by coveralls to protect the crops from bringing in external bugs and viruses. workers here have their clothes cleaned on—site. and how many people are working here now? because when i came before, there was nobody. yeah, so we have about 50 people currently working in here on picking. so these tomatoes are going out to the shops? yes, yeah, they're being picked, ready to be packed and you'll see them in the supermarket soon. and we see different varieties of tomatoes, so can you explain what's going on? as we've got here, this is ready to be picked. these ones are just starting to get some colour on, so they'll be picked within the next ten days. we introduced predatory insects. at the beginning the year, we introduced macrolophus pygmaeus, which is a true bug. it's a predatory insect that feeds on anything like whitefly, aphids, commonly known as greenfly, spider mites. there is one of my macrolophus. ah! hello! so we do not want to damage him? he's fine? he looks like a greenfly. yeah, he's just searching away, looking for something to eat. because we're coming to the end of the crop, we've taken the top of the plant off. so this would have extended all the way to the top of the greenhouse? up to the top of the wire, the string here. oh, wow. so we keep a buffer over the top of the greenhouse we can control the atmosphere and the climate within here. and more produce is growing in a greenhouse just next door using the same green technology. how many cucumbers are you growing here in the other greenhouse? the other greenhouse here is m million cucumbers. 11t million? 22 million peppers. 22 million peppers?! i don't know how many tons of tomatoes, but a lot. it's done better than we'd anticipated in its first year, if i'm honest. yeah. um, but, you know, great. so this project has proven that you can grow a large scale of produce in a low—carbon way — you just need to be near a waste heat source, and there are plenty of those around the world. thanks, jen. of course, once our crops have been harvested, they need to be stored safely so they don't spoil. an estimated 630 million tons of grain goes bad each year, which is such a waste. well, doctor lorenzo conti thinks he might have a solution. doctor lorenzo, what is it? what we have developed, lara, is the world's first subterranean drone and we're using it specifically to help the grain storage operators maintain the quality of their stock. you called it a drone but it doesn't look much like drone. that's right. since there wasn't a word in the dictionary to describe what it is we have come up with one. we call it a crover. how does it work and what does it do exactly? it swims through grain in storage, like in silos and sheds, monitoring the conditions of the grain like temperature and moisture and helping maintain quality. how does this vary from conventional methods of looking after your grain? well, traditionally you would need a farmer to physically walk on top of the grain bulk with a heavy spear and taking samples at a few points which is dangerous and in some situations not possible to do. ok, that sounds like a biggerjob. so do you think farmers are going to use this? right now, we're focused mostly on centralised grain storage hubs which are usually owned by grain merchants and port operators but we'd like to develop in future a version that is suitable for farmers as well. ok, and i'm hoping when it's used in the real world, it doesn't mix up the grains like that. i can hardly look! thank you so much, dr lorenzo. thank you, lara. and that is it for our click specialfrom cop26 in glasgow. as ever, you can keep up with the team throughout the week. find us on social media, on youtube, instagram, facebook and twitter @bbcclick. thanks for watching and we'll see you soon. bye— bye. hello. only one part of their weather picture and the other was a strengthening wind. northern scotland will get off to a stormy start on sunday morning. they could be some travel disruption as severe gales move through and still some outbreaks of rain. much of the rest of the uk, although breezy, it will get off to a dry start, cloudy skies in the west and temperature is around six to 11 celsius. focus on the winds on sunday morning, particularly across orkney and north east scotland. gusts up to 60 to 70 miles an hour, it may be more on the exposed coasts and hills and large waves on the coast as well. strong winds to stop the day and easing as the day goes on. maybe one or two showers with the cloud across the western side of the uk. most places as high pressure moves in it will have a dry sunday and the best of any sunny spells on the east. these temperatures are down on saturday's readings but on the mild side of average. as we go through sunday evening and night, clear spells to eastern parts of scotland and eastern parts of scotland and eastern side of england. it will allow for frost as temperatures drop close to freezing. we will keep the cloud in the west and temperatures holed up here. it is a mainly dry night to come. one of the weather system coming our way, this area of low pressure and the weather fronts around it. they will take this weather fronts outwards across the uk. it will take a lot of the week to do so. they will bring in outbreaks of rain across northern ireland on monday, into scotland and especially the north and west and we could see some reaching into parts of north—west england and wales, whereas the rest of wales and england will stay mainly dry with some sunny spells in eastern england, 11 degrees here. in belfast, up to m degrees. the breeze freshening across north—western areas. here comes the weather front moving slowly southwards as the week goes on. we will maintain a westerly or south—westerly flow into the uk so for the week ahead, things are looking mild. a lot of cloud around, if you sunny spell you'll delete that the spells gradually spreading southwards as the week goes on. hello, this is bbc news. i'm victoria with your headlines from the uk and around the world. nearly 100 people have died in an fuel tanker explosion in sierra leone, after the lorry collided with another vehicle in the capital, freetown. the former british prime minister sirjohn major says parliaments reputation has been trashed at home and abroad — after the government tried to block the suspension of an mp who broke lobbying rules. i think the way the government handled that was shameful and wrong, and unworthy of the best or indeed any government. rapper travis scott says he's "absolutely devastated" by the deaths of eight people, including a 11t—year—old, at the texas festival where he was performing. tens of thousands of people are marching around the world
