now on bbc news, it s time for click. this week, more on the war against climate change. we ve got buildings that love the sun. a sub that loves the waves. and robots that love rubbish. the world s population continuing to rise and across the globe, more housing is needed. but these buildings themselves come with their own environmental cost. of course, building and running offices and homes contributes massively to our carbon footprint more than 13 billion tons of c02 a year. that s nearly 40% of the world s total carbon emissions. so how about making buildings that are part of the solution, not the problem? maybe it s time to rethink renewable energy, the construction materials that we use, and what happens to them at the end of their life. later, we ll see how demolished buildings can be sorted and salvaged using what s in here. drum roll, please. all the rubbish is being tossed around and eventually, the smaller items will make it through one of these tiny holes. just w

in wold war two, is making a comeback after 20 years. norton was bought by the indian firm, tvs motor, after going into administration last year. the company is now opening a new factory in birmingham just a few miles from where they first started over a century ago. rob mayor has more. a new home, just a stone s throw from where it all began 123 years ago. norton supplied a quarter of all motorcycles to the british army during the second world war and enjoyed success on the racetrack. in recent years it fell on hard times, entering administration last year. after a break of almost 20 years, this famous motorcycle brand is speeding back into the west midlands under indian ownership. at full capacity, this factory will be building 8000 bikes every year. tvs motors bought the company for £16 million and say they have already had more than 5000 customer inquiries. norton is, for me, one of the most exciting motor brands in the world. it is about dna of racing, it is about innov

hutchinson, one of the few republican candidates who has been critical of trump s legal problems despite the fact the former president seems to be gaining, not losing political strength with each and every indictment. we re keeping also a close eye on the security situation surrounding the courthouse as a mix of federal and city law enforcement blanket the area ahead of trump s rapidly approaching arrival. we re also learning new details about the latest indictment that appears to rely on testimony from high level trump administration officials including former attorney general bill barr and of course former vice president mike pence. so let s start the hour with nbc s aaron gilchrist outside the court, peter alexander and kristen welker, the cohosts of weekend today, former fbi general counsel, andrew weissmann, kristy greenberg, and former u.s. attorney chuck rosenberg on set with us. so aaron, kick us off from outside the courthouse. what s the atmosphere out there as we
