Card image cap



let's start with the metro. it says there's a growing backlash against borisjohnson over the westminster lobbying row. the same story makes the front page of the i, with the prime minister facing mounting conservative anger over the handling of the owen paterson affair. the former health secretary matt hancock is calling for nhs workers to be legally required to get covid vaccinations before the winter. that's in the telegraph. the guardian reports that a watchdog had to prevent ministers breaching a code on political neutrality and independence during the search for new chairs for the bbc and the british film institute. and the ft says paris prosecutors are probing the french operations of sanjeev gupta, the uk metals magnate, over allegations of "misuse of assets". those are the front pages. we will begin our chat. caroline and tony, lovely to see you both again. caroline, could you kick because of plays, the storm in a sleaze cap on the front page of the metro. i plays, the storm in a sleaze cap on the front page of the metro. i think we will be seeing _ quite a few funds over the next few days because once again, boris johnson is kind of being hit by allegations that he has been somewhat, what shall we say, casual with his privileged position at the top of the ladder of power in this country so obviously needs a recap of the events of last week when his tory colleague owen paterson came underfire and this tory colleague owen paterson came under fire and this coincided with obviously a restructuring of the standards committee is obviously thatis standards committee is obviously that is all still having ricochets throughout the parliamentary characters as even many of his tory mps are starting to complain their mailing boxes are full of complaints saying, why should i ever believe you when you stand any card and devote with the tory weight when it is a u—turn? —— stand in the corridor and vote with a tory whip. topped up by allegations in the

unprecedented and we see that the tories are where they were referring to go on a couple points up. i appreciate we are all talking about is because we follow these things religiously. ijust don't know it beyond this media bubble of concern about this, i think we still have to wait and see. we have had so many examples of things we thought would break this chain and perhaps inspire some self

make some gesture but if you think how many of the tories come up to 30 parliamentarians, according to this newspaper are earning between 180000 and 100s of pounds a year. hundreds of pounds is not sound much, but they already have an £82,000 salary as an mp in the house of commons and the house of lords, there is an allowance. obviously there will be some exceptions and anybody who sees somebody going off and doing a medical chef, a hospital chef, no one will argue with that. it obviously adds to the knowledge and experience —— medical shift or hospital shift. those who sit on some board, have a nice lunch, pocket a large sum, it is called the revolving door, you will make policies while you're in parliament, sitting on what is meant to be independent committees, you revolve back out into the real world and enjoy the benefits of that decision making. this is a basic entry—level page one of the corruption handbook, or at least it looks like it could be open to that. i

erstwhile important person, such a big spread on its front page. but yes, he has waded in. you could argue he has in the past and is perhaps still has access to important knowledge and he seemed to be doing a fair to middling attempt at thejob of be doing a fair to middling attempt at the job of health secretary before he was so abruptly thrown, defenestration to borrow tony's lovely word, and he has waded in to make it mandatory for nhs that they have the covered mac vaccination before winter hits. this would validate the passage of care workers already having it —— covid. we will see if the government see fit to follow this. if the government do, the paper says it will not be until spring next year. by, the paper says it will not be until spring next year.— the paper says it will not be

other side of the room, this is all going on and it shows no signs of going on and it shows no signs of going away. what is theirs, it is handbags at dawn or beginning to look that way. how many years ago tony and i sat here and i think one of us intelligently say, must have been tony, that it was always going to be a contradiction between saving the union of northern ireland and saving of the union of northern ireland and the uk and embracing the principles of brexit and here we are. of course, it has not been working on the threat is that article 60 will have to be triggered, but it is on, the onus is on one side of the other to show societal homes and disadvantages —— article 16. it looks like that is happening as far as the uk is concerned and judgment day will happen, article 16 will be pulled by the end of this month. it looks like both sides are preparing to that. john major saying it would be absurd if that happens, tony. it john major saying it would be absurd if that

something up. that is what is being happening. people are not good or bad, theyjust like being told what to do and for it to be convenient, so it is going to require systemic one—off massive scale decision—making on behalf of corporations. i think if you leave it to the individual, we all have that little drop in the ocean, little pebble on the beach, what is the point of me doing anything? i

and caroline frost will be back at 11.30 for another look at the papers. goodbye for now. 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's 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 doesn't 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'm 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... oh, right, ok, yes. ..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're 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 'em, 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, yeah. 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 insects 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 don't 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 ourfood 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? cos 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 introduce predatory insects. at the beginning the year, we introduce 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's 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 so 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 in the other greenhouse? the other greenhouse here is 14 million cucumbers. 14 million? 22 million peppers. 22 million peppers?! i don't know how many tonnes of tomatoes, but a lot. it's done better than we'd anticipated in its first year, if i'm honest. yeah. and, 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 tonnes of grain goes bad each year, which is such a waste. well, dr lorenzo conti thinks he might have a solution. dr 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 the 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 special from 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, monday morning gets off to a chilly start, a touch of frost around parts of eastern scotland and down the eastern side of england. milder air poised to move back in with a set of atlantic weather fronts bringing in a rush of air. central and eastern and southern parts of england clouding up about saying loudly dry during daylight hours. a chilly feel in norwich but up hours. a chilly feel in norwich but up to 15 degrees in belfast. the breeze picking up with the rain moving in as well. further outbreaks of rain across scotland, northern ireland overnight into tuesday and pushing into parts of northern england. to the south of that, largely dry and much milder on monday night. tuesday, some patchy rain in northern england, especially to the west of the pennines for wales. pushing to the midlands and south—east england. sunny spells in scotland and northern ireland, if you share is moving their way southwards. mild does it will be for the rest of the week —— a few showers. welcome to newsday, reporting live from singapore, i'm karishma vaswani. the headlines... iraq's prime minister appeals for calm — after surviving a drone attack on his home in baghdad. the uk's prime minister is accused of "corrupt and contemptible behaviour" by the opposition labour party — after he tried to protect a former cabinet minister who had broken lobbying rules.
