:00:00. > :00:00.The album titles themselves are an indication of what you are about.

:00:00. > :00:00.One of your earlier - early ambient albums,

:00:07. > :00:09.Music For Airports, indicates you wrote something that you think would

:00:10. > :00:12.be suitable for people rushing from A to B, catching a flight,

:00:13. > :00:25.and your music could help them destress, calm down, I don't know.

:00:26. > :00:29.Even that, even worse than muzak, elevator music.

:00:30. > :00:32.I don't think there is anything particularly wrong with having music

:00:33. > :00:35.in elevators or airports, but I still think it is something

:00:36. > :00:39.When that idea appeared of elevator music, people just took

:00:40. > :00:41.already quite bad music and made it a little bit worse.

:00:42. > :00:46.I thought, what about taking this job seriously, just like, you know,

:00:47. > :00:49.you can have people just paint their wall with any old colour they

:00:50. > :00:52.want, or you can have people who think about it, interior designers,

:00:53. > :00:55.they're called, who think about, how could we make this really work well.

:00:56. > :00:59.What I am saying is, we use music in all sorts of places all the time.

:01:00. > :01:02.But most of the time we don't think very well

:01:03. > :01:08.So I want to say that composers should be responsible for that job.

:01:09. > :01:20.They should take the responsibility of that job.

:01:21. > :01:23.It seems to me there is another interesting thing going on with your

:01:24. > :01:29.music, and it ties into a wider cultural point you have been making

:01:30. > :01:33.for years now, which is that you feel there is a real sort of lack of

:01:34. > :01:36.attention span about so much of what we do and what we create,

:01:37. > :01:39.and I think you have been involved with the Long Now movement,

:01:40. > :01:42.which calls for a more measured, longer term approach to human life

:01:43. > :01:53.Your music doesn't really have a beginning, middle and end.

:01:54. > :01:56.It just feels like it could go on forever.

:01:57. > :02:03.And in fact, my ambition always, was to make pieces of music that are

:02:04. > :02:08.So I invented another word after ambient, which is generative,

:02:09. > :02:11.which is music that is made by a set of instructions, essentially, a set

:02:12. > :02:16.of rules, and somehow reproduces itself for a long period of time.

:02:17. > :02:19.This fascinates me because this is you, in recent years, using

:02:20. > :02:21.the latest computer technology and software, so you, in essence, load

:02:22. > :02:24.some thematic instructions into a computer, and then the actual music,

:02:25. > :02:27.the sound, is a sort of randomly generated... Variation on

:02:28. > :02:34.So you actually haven't written the specific sounds that emerge.

:02:35. > :02:38.And furthermore I won't ever hear all of it either,

:02:39. > :02:58.because the piece can carry on creating itself out of my presence.

:02:59. > :03:03.So you fundamentally undermine our notion of what the composer is.

:03:04. > :03:18.Again I was in the first person to do this.

:03:19. > :03:21.It was part of the brief of people like La Monte Young,

:03:22. > :03:24.Philip Glass and Terry Riley, all of those kind of composers, who started

:03:25. > :03:27.working with, not specific pieces of music, but with sets of instructions

:03:28. > :03:35.The idea was that that is like a little genetic message like,

:03:36. > :03:38.like a seed, you plant the seed and it turns

:03:39. > :03:41.into something, it can't predict what it will exactly turn into.

:03:42. > :03:43.On a philosophical level that is fascinating, on any given

:03:44. > :03:47.moment when you are hearing that sound it is unique and will not

:03:48. > :03:55.Philosophically that is really interesting, on a practical level,

:03:56. > :03:58.even the sort of subtlety and nuance that comes with this sort of music,

:03:59. > :04:02.which to a layman like me frankly can sound the same, on a practical

:04:03. > :04:04.level, what does an audience get out of these

:04:05. > :04:13.In the same sense that the seed of a flower isn't completely random.

:04:14. > :04:16.That seed is something that has slightly randomised a large set of

:04:17. > :04:22.instructions that have been carried on through many generations.

:04:23. > :04:29.It is not just any old set of sounds doing any old thing, it is actually

:04:30. > :04:33.quite a honed process, within which there is a certain amount of

:04:34. > :04:39.It can behave in some different ways and

:04:40. > :04:48.the permutations can be different from one moment to another.

:04:49. > :04:53.But the way I tried to explain it to people is, we tend to think

:04:54. > :04:59.of composers as sort of architects of sound, so an architect being

:05:00. > :05:02.someone who specifies every part of a building, every door handle...

:05:03. > :05:04.Every little bit is consciously created.

:05:05. > :05:07.That's how we tend to think of composers.

:05:08. > :05:10.What I am saying is that we should stop thinking of them

:05:11. > :05:13.as architects and start thinking of them as gardeners, people who

:05:14. > :05:16.plant things, and those things grow and have their own lives, separate

:05:17. > :05:24.I will be brutally honest, that sounds somewhat pretentious.

:05:25. > :05:32.Everything good sounds pretentious at first.

:05:33. > :05:34.You are a sound landscaper, not a composer.

:05:35. > :05:40.I would be quite happy with that description.

:05:41. > :05:42.Let's actually take some of those fascinating thoughts

:05:43. > :05:46.and apply them not just to sound, but the visuals as well.

:05:47. > :05:53.You actually went to art school, you came out in the visual sensibility

:05:54. > :05:56.before a musical one, and you have done loads of installations of art,

:05:57. > :06:00.using light in different ways, if we can bring up some shots here of an

:06:01. > :06:04.amazing project you did on the Sydney Opera House, is this

:06:05. > :06:17.You have, I don't know how many thousands and thousands

:06:18. > :06:20.of lights that you were projecting onto the sails of the Opera House,

:06:21. > :06:28.This was a three-week peice, I was projecting from a huge battery,

:06:29. > :06:31.a very powerful projector, onto the sails, and it was a generative

:06:32. > :06:37.If we just freeze that a moment -It looks like a fascinating piece

:06:38. > :06:40.of abstract art, but in fact, you had never seen that before.

:06:41. > :06:42.It came up from the instructions that you have

:06:43. > :06:55.I had seen individual parts of it, but never seen that particular

:06:56. > :06:57.Really it is to do with permutations.

:06:58. > :07:00.I make all the elements, but then of course the elements,

:07:01. > :07:03.since there are several 100 of them, can permutate in millions

:07:04. > :07:09.I let the process run, and it all happens quite slowly, which is an

:07:10. > :07:12.important part of it, while you are looking at this, you're not really

:07:13. > :07:23.Until you realise a few minutes later that it has changed.

:07:24. > :07:26.It just strikes me, with all of the ways you approach

:07:27. > :07:31.creating and your art, you are embracing the idea

:07:32. > :07:36.that it, um, it does not really have narrative.

:07:37. > :07:41.It is sort of just there as a sort of background and people can

:07:42. > :07:47.Most artists, it seems to me, are driven by a particualar unique

:07:48. > :07:50.vision they want to get down - whether it be on paper,

:07:51. > :07:57.I have a vision, but it isn't a narrative vision.

:07:58. > :08:02.My vision is very much to do with what for me was the great

:08:03. > :08:06.understanding about evolution theory that complexity arises out

:08:07. > :08:10.of simplicity and I think that is such an important message

:08:11. > :08:14.because I'm an atheist and one of the most difficult things that

:08:15. > :08:18.atheists have to say to the world is that all this complexity

:08:19. > :08:21.and all this beauty, came from the bottom up,

:08:22. > :08:26.Well, I want to make the kind of art that proves

:08:27. > :08:29.I want to say, "Look, here are the elements -

:08:30. > :08:31.they are quite simple, I'm being absolutely transparent

:08:32. > :08:37.about what they are and now I let them permutate and it makes

:08:38. > :08:43.It is absolutely the antithesis of the idea of the artist,

:08:44. > :08:46.the creator, as a sort of god-like figure in term of what he is doing.

:08:47. > :08:49.Here's where I want to, if you do not mind, look back

:08:50. > :08:55.It seems to me, in your primary business, your first real creative

:08:56. > :08:58.business which is sort of rock'n'roll, contemporary music,

:08:59. > :09:03.you worked with a lot of people - thinking early days of Brian Ferry

:09:04. > :09:06.and Roxy Music, but then your collaboration with Bowie,

:09:07. > :09:11.for example - who were, in a sense, the epitome of the sort

:09:12. > :09:16.of talented, arguably genious, individual artist.

:09:17. > :09:20.Try to get their vision down and you worked

:09:21. > :09:24.So you weren't out of sink with them even though

:09:25. > :09:28.they were sort of playing God in a way that you don't believe,

:09:29. > :09:30.certainly not for you - it didn't work for you.

:09:31. > :09:35.It is not what I want to do but I do not mind other

:09:36. > :09:38.I see those people as sort of theatrical presences,

:09:39. > :09:41.people who design themselves, in a sense, to be theatre,

:09:42. > :09:46.The theatre was the whole history of rock music,

:09:47. > :09:51.That is an interesting phrase - a theatrical player -

:09:52. > :09:55.but some would make much greater claims, for a man like Bowie

:09:56. > :09:59.and an artist who has passsed recently, Prince -

:10:00. > :10:04.the claims for those two would be they were transformative,

:10:05. > :10:14.Do you buy the idea that individuals, artists of that

:10:15. > :10:18.calibre, can be classed as transformative and geniuses?

:10:19. > :10:20.calibre, can be classed as transformative and genius?

:10:21. > :10:23.I think there are clearly some artists that make much more

:10:24. > :10:25.difference than others but I have another word,

:10:26. > :10:29.which is "scenius" and I think of that as the intelligence

:10:30. > :10:42.What I see, particulalrly in pop music, is that there are whole

:10:43. > :10:44.scenes of all sorts of interesting and fertile people interacting

:10:45. > :10:47.and occasionally they come up with something and that something

:10:48. > :10:50.can manifest in a David Bowie or a Prince, or a me.

:10:51. > :10:52.But in a way those people are manifestations

:10:53. > :10:56.They did not invent - as I would never claim -

:10:57. > :10:58.they didn't invent it all themselves.

:10:59. > :11:01.We are always looking at all of our history and making

:11:02. > :11:06.If I may intrude into your past a little bit, when you were

:11:07. > :11:09.working with Bowie - I think it was the late 70s,

:11:10. > :11:14.the Berlin Trilogy and albums like Heroes - seminal albums -

:11:15. > :11:17.would you call yourselves the producer on that album?

:11:18. > :11:32...sort of effort you are describing is fascinating.

:11:33. > :11:36.We think of Bowie and we listen to his music and we think that's

:11:37. > :11:38.Bowie's music but is it really Bowie's music?

:11:39. > :11:41.It is so hard to talk about this because really, especially

:11:42. > :11:42.in the popular arts, everybody draws ideas

:11:43. > :11:45.from everywhere, so whatever you're doing it is really repackaging

:11:46. > :11:48.of thousands of things you have heard and something that

:11:49. > :11:53.What you added might just be the way you put it together.

:11:54. > :11:56.How much did you add to what he did?

:11:57. > :12:00.First of all, I was not the producer.

:12:01. > :12:03.Tony Visconti was the producer of those albums.

:12:04. > :12:11.David had been listening to a particular album of mine,

:12:12. > :12:14.my first ambient album, called Discreet Music,

:12:15. > :12:17.for months before that and he had said that was the only thing

:12:18. > :12:23.This was when he was getting over a very problematic

:12:24. > :12:29.I was working...I was just at the beginnning of working

:12:30. > :12:34.with this idea of landscaping music and he wanted to go there.

:12:35. > :12:39.He wanted to do something like that and asked me to work with him.

:12:40. > :12:45.I would set up sonic scenarios for him and he would react to them.

:12:46. > :12:49.It is a fascinating discussion because it gets to the heart

:12:50. > :12:56.David Bowie is undisputedly is a fascinating and

:12:57. > :13:05.You also have done work on some of the great commercial pop albums

:13:06. > :13:10.of our time, from Coldplay, U2, a whole bunch of others as well.

:13:11. > :13:13.Is that a very different process or for you is that the same

:13:14. > :13:17.Going into something you know has partly been designed to sell

:13:18. > :13:23.I think they are inviting me to work with them

:13:24. > :13:28.They want to go somewhere different.

:13:29. > :13:35.People do not realise that artists do not just want to have the same

:13:36. > :13:41.The thrill of being an artist is going somewhere you

:13:42. > :13:45.If you have been in a band for a very long time,

:13:46. > :13:47.everybody gets into habits and things tend to turn

:13:48. > :13:52.We can hear that in a lot of bands' music.

:13:53. > :13:55.Yes and, of course, record companies generally

:13:56. > :13:58.used to encourage that because they wanted more hits.

:13:59. > :14:06.Yes, they would think, "Why can't you do another

:14:07. > :14:09.And they would hire producers who would say to the band,

:14:10. > :14:15.How can we make this song sound more like that song that was a hit.

:14:16. > :14:19.I was always interested to see what was new for the band,

:14:20. > :14:22.what was exciting for them, and to try and make

:14:23. > :14:26.So I think that is why I was asked to produce lots of records.

:14:27. > :14:28.You are still very busy, we talked about The Ship,

:14:29. > :14:36.Where do you see the most exciting, arguably most transformative music,

:14:37. > :14:39.maybe other art form too, happening right now?

:14:40. > :14:42.What really excites you as being new and innovative,

:14:43. > :14:45.taking creativity in a different direction?

:14:46. > :14:50.There is the whole lot of class of things that I have little

:14:51. > :14:54.contact with and do not understand very well which are complex games

:14:55. > :15:03.This is really the future, in a way, for some big

:15:04. > :15:12.I do not play them, my kids do, I would dismiss it

:15:13. > :15:17.as moneymaking commercial ventures...

:15:18. > :15:20.That is how pop music was thought of for very many years

:15:21. > :15:30.That is how everything is thought of...

:15:31. > :15:32.Are you getting into that creative sphere?

:15:33. > :15:34.Not really, I hardly understand it but I just know

:15:35. > :15:40.Not for my generation but I know where something

:15:41. > :15:51.I just realised I'm 67 and I am not going to start playing

:15:52. > :15:54.A final thought for you and it goes back to this movement,

:15:55. > :15:57.the idea that we need to think about a different timescale

:15:58. > :16:00.for the way we behave on this planet and the way we create also.

:16:01. > :16:04.I wonder, when we think in those terms, whether you think your music

:16:05. > :16:07.- and, my god, you've been prolific - will it stand the test

:16:08. > :16:10.of centuries rather than just decades?

:16:11. > :16:15.I am already surprised that it has stood the test of

:16:16. > :16:20.I would not have expected the Music For Airports,

:16:21. > :16:22.for example, would still be selling records -

:16:23. > :16:31.And even earlier things are as well so I'm already on the plus side...

:16:32. > :16:36.You know, when Prince died, they found thousands and thousands

:16:37. > :16:41.of bits of music of unheard and unpublished music.

:16:42. > :16:48.I have an archive which is enormous.

:16:49. > :16:55.I work pretty much all the time and I always make a little mix

:16:56. > :17:00.Even if it is just a silly little experiment to try out

:17:01. > :17:09.Oh, I hope not, there is some trash in there.

:17:10. > :17:12.Well, Brian Eno ,the world would've enjoyed hearing you on HARDtalk.

:17:13. > :17:16.We have to wnd there but thank you so much for being on HARDtalk.

:17:17. > :17:45.Well, temperatures in the last few days have been up

:17:46. > :17:49.and down a little bit but, generally speaking, closer to what we would

:17:50. > :17:53.But now there is some cooler and much fresher weather

:17:54. > :17:57.Friday is still going to be quite a warm day, particualrly

:17:58. > :18:05.These northerly winds you can see here are going to introduce much

:18:06. > :18:08.fresher conditions to the northern half of the UK for Friday itself.

:18:09. > :18:10.First thing in the morning on Friday,

:18:11. > :18:16.That cold front, which you can see here, will be sinking southward

:18:17. > :18:21.That is the leading edge of the cooler air to the north of it.

:18:22. > :18:24.So let's start with In Scotland, four o'clock in the afternoon,

:18:25. > :18:26.you can see just how much lower these values are,

:18:27. > :18:31.Cooler along the North Sea coast, for sure,

:18:32. > :18:35.particularly in that breeze out of the north or the north-west.

:18:36. > :18:39.We are still hanging on for a time to that warmer weather in the south.

:18:40. > :18:43.Perhaps even touching 23-24 degrees in the south-west, and a chance

:18:44. > :18:49.The sun will be very strong on Friday.

:18:50. > :18:55.You can see how high the UV levels are across a large chunk of the UK.

:18:56. > :18:57.And even moderate there across parts of Scotland.

:18:58. > :19:00.Remember, you can burn regardless of what the temperature is -

:19:01. > :19:04.it's all to do with the strength of the sunshine and the clearer skies.

:19:05. > :19:07.Now, into Saturday, we are going to see that cold front reach

:19:08. > :19:11.That means that on Saturday morning, dawn, you can see

:19:12. > :19:15.the temperatures really nippy across quite a large part of the UK.

:19:16. > :19:17.Down to freezing perhaps in rural spots as far south

:19:18. > :19:22.as central parts of Britain, down into Wales, for example.

:19:23. > :19:25.On Saturday itself, at times it will be cloudy, particularly

:19:26. > :19:31.Overcast from time to time in coastal areas.

:19:32. > :19:33.Further west it should be brighter and fresh conditions,

:19:34. > :19:38.How are we doing compared to the rest of Europe?

:19:39. > :19:40.Actually, Madrid won't be that much warmer - only 19 degrees.

:19:41. > :19:44.Quite a few downpours across many central areas of the continent, from

:19:45. > :19:47.the south-east of France, across the Alpine region and into eastern

:19:48. > :19:53.Back home, on Sunday, we still keep that northerly air stream.

:19:54. > :19:56.It will feel particularly cooler along the North Sea coast.

:19:57. > :19:58.Best and brightest of the weather will always be

:19:59. > :20:13.The weekend will be largely dry, fresh with some fine days,

:20:14. > :22:09.clear evenings but, as a result, it will be chilly overnight.

:22:10. > :22:15.I'm Sharanjit Leyl in Singapore, the headlines: Defeated but defiant,

:22:16. > :22:23.Brazil's President is ousted as her successor vows unity.

:22:24. > :22:26.It's urgent to pacify the nation and unify Brazil.

:22:27. > :22:40.It's urgent to form a government that will save the nation.

:22:41. > :22:42.China attacks a UN tribunal set to rule

:22:43. > :22:54.Coming to the aid of the party, top US Republicans appear to make

:22:55. > :23:04.their peace with Donald Trump, but there's no word of 'endorsement'.

:23:05. > :23:06.The influence of Asia, how Singapore and Hong Kong are changing

:23:07. > :23:47.It's 8:00am in Singapore, 1:00a, in London and 9:00

:23:48. > :23:50.in the evening in the capital of Brazil, where the country's

:23:51. > :23:52.acting President, and his cabinet, have been sworn in following

:23:58. > :24:01.The new man, Michel Temer, has vowed to restore confidence

:24:09. > :24:15.minutes after being formally told of her suspension from office.

:29:56. > :29:56.for sometime but eventually lies even repeated 1000 times will not

:29:57. > :30:19.become truth. In recent months, it has gone around

:30:20. > :30:26.to some of the countries with which it has a strong financial

:30:27. > :30:29.relationship such as Cambodia, Lau and Yemen, to receive some support

:30:30. > :30:33.for their position. Most international lawyers agree that the

:30:34. > :30:37.tribunal has jurisdiction. The tribune or certainly has

:30:38. > :30:42.jurisdiction, but if China refuses to accept the court's judgement,

:30:43. > :30:50.what can be done? Can China force the issue? How does the US see it?

:30:51. > :30:56.The theory is that if the court ruled in favour of the Philippines,

:30:57. > :31:01.then China will redouble its actions in the South China Sea. They have

:31:02. > :31:07.built three large artificial islands, large enough for a military

:31:08. > :31:12.length airstrip. They also have a zone in the South China Sea which

:31:13. > :31:15.would say that China has to be notified before any planes can be

:31:16. > :31:20.flown over the South China Sea. There is a real risk that China will

:31:21. > :31:24.lash out if the ruling goes against them. You mentioned the Philippines,

:31:25. > :31:29.one of the countries that have claims to one of these islands. They

:31:30. > :31:33.just had an election and the man who is certain to become president has

:31:34. > :31:40.some very strong words on the topic. Good matters change if the president

:31:41. > :31:45.takes office? Well, his rhetoric has been very colourful art are not

:31:46. > :31:50.particularly clear. He has said that he would ride a jet ski out to one

:31:51. > :31:57.of the islands in the China South Sea and plant the Philippine flag,

:31:58. > :32:02.that he has also said he is open to multilateral discussions. They seem

:32:03. > :32:06.to believe he might be a man that China can do business with. It is

:32:07. > :32:10.unclear what the position will be. He doesn't have a strong

:32:11. > :32:16.relationship with the United States, as the outgoing president had. We

:32:17. > :32:18.have to wait and see what will occur.

:32:19. > :32:24.Last month authorities in Lebanon released an Australian mother

:32:25. > :32:27.and a 60 Minutes TV crew accused of kidnapping two children involved

:32:28. > :32:31.The mother of the two children, accompanied by the 60 Minutes TV

:32:42. > :32:43.in the attempt to recover the children continue to be detained.

:32:44. > :32:45.One of the men, Briton Adam Whittington,

:32:46. > :32:48.was expected to be released on bail earlier in the week but the

:32:49. > :32:52.process is still ongoing, his family say he has been hung out to dry.

:32:53. > :32:54.Let's get more on this now with our correspondent

:32:55. > :32:58.As we heard, most of the people around this case have been released,

:32:59. > :33:02.including the mother, Sally Faulkner. Why are Mr Whittington and

:33:03. > :33:07.his colleagues still in jail? They still have to answer charges that

:33:08. > :33:13.are being considered by a judge in Lebanon on, and lawyers for the

:33:14. > :33:20.British man who is still in custody of Lebanese authorities, and

:33:21. > :33:24.Whittington, is saying that he has been hung out to dry. This all

:33:25. > :33:30.happened last month when a team from the Australian Channel nine network

:33:31. > :33:33.and Sally Faulkner were involved in a botched operation to recover all

:33:34. > :33:41.Dutch, depending who you believe in this story, two children in a route.

:33:42. > :33:45.The team and Sally were released, Adam Whittington remains behind

:33:46. > :33:49.bars. He was not part of the deal that for the Australian journalists

:33:50. > :33:56.released and allowed to return to Australia. He is now trying to apply

:33:57. > :34:03.for bail, that is where his current case is. It has been stored in that

:34:04. > :34:07.court in Beirut. As you said, Mr Whittington said he has been hung

:34:08. > :34:11.out to dry. We have heard from his wife who has given interviews as

:34:12. > :34:18.well, accusing Channel nine of having abandoned him. Can you

:34:19. > :34:24.explain that? We know the details involve quite a lot of money being

:34:25. > :34:28.paid to Adam Whittington, according to reports in Australia. We

:34:29. > :34:34.understand he was the main operator in the operation to try and retrieve

:34:35. > :34:38.these two children from the streets of Beirut. When a deal was struck

:34:39. > :34:43.between Channel nine and Sally Faulkner, there was no mention of

:34:44. > :34:47.adding adding Whittington or any of his colleagues. That is where the

:34:48. > :34:51.anger lies at his end, his family are wondering why he wasn't part of

:34:52. > :34:58.the deal that brought the custody of the children and mother, as well as

:34:59. > :35:03.a journalist, to an end. His lawyers are still trying to win his freedom

:35:04. > :35:07.and apply for bail. Whether he will face further charges down the track,

:35:08. > :35:12.we don't know. It certainly seems that the deal for Adam Whittington

:35:13. > :35:18.reported is continuing. Still to come on the programme: The

:39:50. > :39:56.Oxford English Dictionary told me I think that the addition of these

:39:57. > :40:07.new words is very important, first linguistic scholarship, the one that

:40:08. > :40:14.we apply to all the words that we include in the Oxford English

:40:15. > :40:17.Dictionary as words that come We are talking

:40:26. > :40:28.in Singapore or char siu in Hong Kong, these are now in the Oxford

:40:29. > :40:31.English Dictionary because they are Yes, they are essentially part

:40:32. > :40:40.of the English language and, as you know, the Oxford English

:40:41. > :40:42.Dictionary is the world's foremost Meaning, it is not just

:40:43. > :40:51.a dictionary of definitions but one that shows the whole history

:40:52. > :40:55.of th eEnglish language. And since Hong Kong and Singapore,

:40:56. > :40:59.for many decades, have been part of the development of English language

:41:00. > :41:02.and we find it is important to also include the words that Singaporeans

:41:06. > :41:07.spoken about wanting to get rid of in, say, the UK or in the States is

:41:08. > :41:20.correct - how do you do that, then? Yes, I think that, since

:41:21. > :41:23.the OED is such a respected lexical resource, I think just the fact that

:41:24. > :41:27.you're adding them and you're giving all this attention to these words

:41:28. > :41:30.kind of shows the people who speak English in places like Hong Kong

:41:31. > :41:33.and Singapore that they do not really need to speak like Americans

:41:34. > :41:35.and like British people in order for their language to be

:41:36. > :41:44.considered as correct. I mean,

:41:45. > :41:46.these words have become part of English because it shows something

:41:47. > :41:49.of the culture of these places. These are words that are needed to

:41:50. > :41:52.be expressed using these new words. I think it is something

:41:53. > :41:54.that is very legitimate. It is something not happening only

:41:55. > :41:57.in Hong Kong and Singapore but in other places where English is

:41:58. > :41:59.spoken. It is a chain that has been going

:42:00. > :42:04.on in many parts of the world especially since

:42:05. > :42:06.English is such a global language and it is someone that should be

:42:07. > :42:13.celebrated rather than decred. Doesn't this highlight the dominance

:42:14. > :42:17.of English - the fact that other languages are maybe lacking somewhat

:42:18. > :42:21.or are being lost a little bit? Not exactly lacking because

:42:22. > :42:24.if you look at many of the Hong Kong and Singapore additions that we have

:48:01. > :48:21.stay with BBC World News. Well, temperatures

:48:22. > :48:23.in the last few days have been up and down a little bit but, generally

:48:24. > :48:26.speaking, closer to what we would But now there is some cooler

:48:27. > :48:31.and much fresher weather Friday is still going to be quite

:48:32. > :48:35.a warm day, particualrly These northerly winds you can see

:48:36. > :48:39.here are going to introduce much fresher conditions to the northern

:48:40. > :48:42.half of the UK for Friday itself. First thing in the morning

:48:43. > :48:44.on Friday, That cold front, which you can see

:48:45. > :48:50.here, will be sinking southward That is the leading edge of

:48:51. > :48:55.the cooler air to the north of it. So let's start with Scotland,

:48:56. > :49:00.four o'clock in the afternoon, you can see just how much lower

:49:01. > :49:03.these values are, Cooler along the North Sea coast,

:49:04. > :49:16.for sure, particularly in that breeze out

:49:17. > :49:19.of the north or the north-west. We are still hanging on for a time

:49:20. > :49:23.to that warmer weather in the south. Perhaps even touching 23-24 degrees

:49:24. > :49:36.in the south-west, and a chance The sun will be very strong

:49:37. > :49:41.on Friday. You can see how high the UV levels

:49:42. > :50:07.are across a large chunk of the UK. And even moderate there

:50:08. > :50:09.across parts of Scotland. Remember, you can burn regardless

:50:10. > :50:11.of what the temperature is - it's all to do with the strength of

:50:12. > :50:15.the sunshine and the clearer skies. Now, into Saturday, we are going

:50:16. > :50:18.to see that cold front reach That means that on Saturday morning,

:50:19. > :50:22.dawn, you can see the temperatures really nippy across

:50:23. > :50:25.quite a large part of the UK. Down to freezing perhaps

:50:26. > :50:28.in rural spots as far south as central parts of Britain,

:50:29. > :50:30.down into Wales, for example. On Saturday itself, at times it will

:50:31. > :50:33.be cloudy, particularly Overcast from time to time

:50:34. > :50:36.in coastal areas. Further west it should be brighter

:50:37. > :50:38.and fresh conditions, How are we doing compared to

:50:39. > :50:41.the rest of Europe? Actually, Madrid won't be that

:50:42. > :50:44.much warmer - only 19 degrees. Quite a few downpours across many

:50:45. > :50:47.central areas of the continent, from the south-east of France, across

:50:48. > :50:50.the Alpine region and into eastern Back home, on Sunday, we still

:50:51. > :50:54.keep that northerly air stream. It will feel particularly cooler

:53:16. > :53:35.business news live from Singapore. News and takes the helm at. We'll be

:53:36. > :53:57.scanned a payoff -- Nissan takes the helmet. Is it worth the payoff

:53:58. > :54:02.spotlight is on the shares of Nissan and Mitsubishi. They have spent

:54:03. > :54:08.money to become the biggest shareholders in the small vehicle

:54:09. > :54:15.market. We saw shares surging 16% on Thursday. This is where they are

:54:16. > :54:26.right now. Nissan is currently higher. It fell at -- it fell

:54:27. > :54:32.yesterday, we will keep an eye on it. Mitsubishi admitted that it had

:54:33. > :54:40.been cheating on fuel economy tests for 25 years. Nissan's boss said it

:54:41. > :54:45.is a win for both companies, but I put that question to an auto

:54:46. > :54:53.analyst. It's a low price to pay to control the interest and get an auto

:54:54. > :54:57.maker that has a fairly local reach. It's the move to restore confidence

:54:58. > :55:03.in Mitsubishi, which is critical this time. In this particular deal,

:55:04. > :55:11.you have a very experienced executive who has been able to

:55:12. > :55:14.successfully navigate through a complex alliance such as that with

:55:15. > :55:22.Nissan. This will be a piece of cake by comparison. The consolidation

:55:23. > :55:28.that is needed in the industry, it is a great benefit in distribution

:55:29. > :55:33.especially in South-East Asia where Mitsubishi fills gaps in the Nissan

:55:34. > :55:41.portfolio. There are a lot more worries about how the scandal could

:55:42. > :55:46.potentially become wise, isn't this a huge risk for Nissan? There is

:55:47. > :55:51.risk in any deal, not just the fact that there are liabilities here. I

:55:52. > :55:58.think this is a calculated risk. China has faced many allegations of

:55:59. > :56:02.hacking websites of American governments and companies, officials

:56:03. > :56:08.met again this week to try and reach some sort of agreement, with not

:56:09. > :56:12.much luck. A leading security expert from China is that they should work

:56:13. > :56:16.together. Our correspondent attended a rare event where some of the

:56:17. > :56:23.smartest hackers in China compete against each other. It's the

:56:24. > :56:28.gambling capital of the world. China's rich come here in the hope

:56:29. > :56:38.that they will leave even richer. But some want to be consistent.

:56:39. > :56:41.Behind closed doors, teenage hackers, too young to bet downstairs

:56:42. > :56:49.are competing. What do you like about hacking? I love it, and I love

:56:50. > :56:54.cyber safety. So much so that he practices one day a week. At 16, he

:56:55. > :56:58.thinks he may have a career in it. They raced against the clock to

:56:59. > :57:07.access a smart phone or a wireless router. It's all above board. A

:57:08. > :57:16.filmmaker and retail giant Alibaba Abbe is here to learn. Organisers

:57:17. > :57:18.insist that this is about exposing vulnerabilities and helping

:57:19. > :57:21.manufacturers make their technology more secure. They say it is

:57:22. > :57:25.definitely not about sharing the information with governments. It is

:57:26. > :57:30.better say that there are plenty of people who are very interested in

:57:31. > :57:36.what is going on inside this room. China's government works hard to

:57:37. > :57:42.control the Internet within its borders. Hacking as a weapon of war,

:57:43. > :57:47.that is a very sensitive issue. The geeks competing here want the focus

:57:48. > :57:53.to be on security and working with, not against, countries like the US.

:57:54. > :57:58.TRANSLATION: The department I am working for has found and solved

:57:59. > :58:04.many problems for international companies like Microsoft. Today we

:58:05. > :58:11.fixed 32 bugs which were found by my team this month. The best hackers in

:58:12. > :58:15.the world are apparently not in China. One of the organisers told me

:58:16. > :58:21.that Russia, Israel and America are leading the way. These competitions

:58:22. > :58:30.show that China is trying to catch up, all in the name of Internet

:58:31. > :58:34.security. To our special series on the beef

:58:35. > :58:40.trade in India. It supplies about 20% of all worlds beef, but it is

:58:41. > :58:45.the topic of religious debate. A ban on slaughter and consumption has

:58:46. > :58:48.been extended to all members of the cow family because of Hindu beliefs.

:58:49. > :58:58.It affects not just farmers but associated industries.

:58:59. > :59:09.These leather sandals are an iconic product of this region. They support

:59:10. > :59:14.a huge industry here. Over the last year, a ban on cow slaughter in the

:59:15. > :59:20.State was extended to the main source of the leather used to make

:59:21. > :59:25.these slippers. This has squeezed the supply of Labour, pushing up the

:59:26. > :59:34.prices. That is making customers unhappy, say retailers. Business has

:59:35. > :59:38.come down by 40%. Customers used to buy four or five pairs, because the

:59:39. > :59:45.shoes were so good. Now they complain that the prices are too

:59:46. > :59:51.high and by just one or two pairs. It's hard to believe that factories

:59:52. > :59:56.like this once made products sold in markets, and in the US or Australia.

:59:57. > :59:59.It is no longer as lucrative to be in this business, it's getting

:00:00. > :00:07.harder to find younger workers who want to learn these skills. Once

:00:08. > :00:11.employing over 100,000 workers, the traditional slippers industry now

:00:12. > :00:17.has less than one tenth of that number. This man learnt his skills

:00:18. > :00:24.as a child and has been making shoes for 55 years. Working 12 hours a

:00:25. > :00:30.day, he makes just $30 a month. His sons still want to be in this trade.

:00:31. > :00:33.The industry is dying. We don't have enough to make ends meet. We don't

:00:34. > :00:42.even get good leather any more. How do we make good shoes? All of us

:00:43. > :00:45.will be out of jobs soon. The industry was already shrinking, and

:00:46. > :00:52.the beef ban seems to have been the final blow. Many worry it will be

:00:53. > :00:54.difficult to recover from. A piece of local history, along with these

:00:55. > :01:07.livelihoods, might be lost for ever. It's a show that is normally

:01:08. > :01:14.synonymous with Las Vegas, but the Consumer Electronics Show is being

:01:15. > :01:20.held in Shanghai this week. It brings the world's biggest names in

:01:21. > :01:57.technology together. Can China compete with the US in

:01:58. > :02:03.terms of innovation? We are joined by Jeremy from Shanghai. Describe

:02:04. > :02:10.the show to us, how busy is it? Is it as big and exciting as it lost a

:02:11. > :02:17.counterpart? That is the big question. The gig me if I sound a

:02:18. > :02:24.bit strange, it is very loud. It is not as big as the Las Vegas

:02:25. > :02:30.exposition, which is enormous. Las Vegas is preposterously big. This is

:02:31. > :02:34.a more manageable size. The show producers have told me it is twice

:02:35. > :02:39.as big as it was last year. You can see that many of the booths are on

:02:40. > :02:47.the same scale as the ones in Las Vegas. They are showing of all the

:02:48. > :02:52.latest gadgets. Tell us about the gadgets. What do you think will be

:02:53. > :02:58.the next big thing? The biggest buzz word is virtual reality. There are a

:02:59. > :03:03.number of headsets you where, you put your smart phone in and you are

:03:04. > :03:07.in another world. There are a dozen companies selling them here, so

:03:08. > :03:15.there are a lot of products. The latest I have seen are a pair of

:03:16. > :03:20.sunglasses, they look like sports sunglasses but they pack the

:03:21. > :03:24.technology in there. We are seeing a number of Chinese companies, about

:03:25. > :03:31.40%. Is this a real innovation, there is criticism that they could

:03:32. > :03:35.be copying? It's a loaded question, but a good and important question.

:03:36. > :03:42.The virtual reality headset for example. Samsung and HTC did it

:03:43. > :03:46.originally, but you also have Chinese companies doing the exact

:03:47. > :03:51.same thing. Are they copying? I would argue that the sunglasses are

:03:52. > :03:56.innovation, but the others are maybe just knockoffs. There was a lot of

:03:57. > :04:01.stuff going on behind you, but thank you so much for coming on the

:04:02. > :04:06.programme. That is it for this edition of Asia Business Report.

:04:07. > :04:12.Thank you for joining us. The top stories this hour:

:04:13. > :04:14.Defeated but defiant, Brazil's President is ousted, as her

:04:15. > :04:25.successor vows unity. Top US Republicans appear to make

:04:26. > :04:37.their peace with Donald Trump, but The owner of a car, swallowed-up

:04:38. > :04:42.by a sinkhole in south east London, says he's thankful that his family

:04:43. > :04:45.and no passers-by were hurt, in what Investigations are under way

:04:46. > :04:56.into what caused the crater. Not the usual start to a Thursday

:04:57. > :05:00.for this man. After parking his car outside his brother's home last

:05:01. > :05:05.night, he got a very unwelcome wake-up call this morning when his

:05:06. > :05:12.brother told him his car had been swallowed up by a six metres in

:05:13. > :05:17.cold. It was a surprise, and I asked for anything like, was somebody hurt

:05:18. > :05:30.or was there anyone around? No one was there. Just the car. I said,

:05:31. > :05:36.thank God it's only the car. The whole appeared at about 3am, and

:05:37. > :05:47.neighbours didn't think anything of it. I just thought it was a big

:05:48. > :05:52.hole. It woke you up? It did. The water board joined the scene. Once

:05:53. > :05:58.the area was deemed safe, work to remove the car got under way. There

:05:59. > :06:01.was speculation that wet weather or heavy traffic could have been behind

:06:02. > :06:08.the collapse, at it is not yet known what caused it. I am worried about

:06:09. > :06:15.if this happens again in the future. We parked all over this area. They

:06:16. > :06:19.should do investigations. Residents are bound to feel rather nervous

:06:20. > :06:22.about what has happened, but we can assure them that we are doing

:06:23. > :06:26.everything that the council needs to do to maintain their safety.

:06:27. > :06:33.Greenwich council will investigate what caused the collapse, and then

:06:34. > :06:34.the road will have to be repaired. It could be closed for up to ten

:06:35. > :06:54.days. An enquiry has found that the youth

:06:55. > :06:56.justice board was incorrectly handling young offenders. There were

:06:57. > :07:01.failures at the Medway secure training centre where BBC Panorama

:07:31. > :07:35.Could Kenya be banned from this summer's Olympics?

:07:43. > :08:00.And how eating dog food almost cost Serena Williams a place in the

:08:01. > :08:02.quarter-finals of the Italian Open. A World Anti-Doping Agency committee

:08:07. > :08:09.of their rules, in a move that could prevent the country's athletes

:08:10. > :08:11.from taking part in Kenya has missed two deadlines to

:08:12. > :08:15.show they are tackling the problem and WADA officials have

:08:16. > :08:18.now said that recent efforts made to improve its anti-doping capability

:08:19. > :08:19.were inadequate. Here's our sports editor, Dan Roan,

:08:20. > :08:33.with more. What we know is that last month can

:08:34. > :08:40.you pass legislation, finally, after months of pressure being applied by

:08:41. > :08:45.the anti- doping agency, to create an operational new national anti-

:08:46. > :08:48.doping agency. You might think they would have won, but they don't. This

:08:49. > :08:56.new bill went through Parliament, driven by the President himself, so

:08:57. > :09:01.that is how serious they took it. It went through Parliament, everybody

:09:02. > :09:08.breathed a huge sigh of relief, not least Kenyan athletes who have been

:09:09. > :09:17.training hard for the Olympics. But, what I understand is that they made

:09:18. > :09:28.amendments, without telling the agency. This might not necessarily

:09:29. > :09:33.mean a ban, so what might happen? Yes, the number a non-compliant but

:09:34. > :09:36.that doesn't mean they are completely banned. Russia is banned

:09:37. > :09:39.from track and field, but that is because the IAAF has made it choice

:09:40. > :09:44.to ban them from international competition. There is a big decision

:09:45. > :09:50.pending about whether they will reinstate them in time for Rio. It

:09:51. > :09:59.is reputational egad, it doesn't look good, but crucially it is the

:10:00. > :10:06.IOC to write to prevent a country from -- crucially it allows the IOC

:10:07. > :10:12.to prevent a country from competing. What better way of demonstrating

:10:13. > :10:20.that deterrent than to actually prevent a leading country like Kenya

:10:21. > :10:26.from competing? Given how much pressure has been applied, listening

:10:27. > :10:27.to athletes, this will be the last thing Kenyans will have wanted to

:10:28. > :10:29.hear. Premier League side Everton are

:10:30. > :10:31.looking for a new manager after sacking Roberto Martinez

:10:32. > :10:33.on Thursday. The Spaniard was fired less than 24

:10:34. > :10:36.hours after a 3-0 defeat at Sunderland, but it's

:10:37. > :10:38.the club's home form which has been They've won just five league

:10:39. > :10:42.games at Goodison Park. Our sports reporter David Ornstein

:10:43. > :10:56.says Martinez has been under It is not a huge surprise, their

:10:57. > :11:10.form has been poor. Roberto Martinez came into proceed David Moyes, so it

:11:11. > :11:16.was a surprise that Everton picked him as their new manager. He is

:11:17. > :11:24.first season went fantastically well. The second season not so good,

:11:25. > :11:30.finishing 11th. Although they have got to two cup semifinals, they

:11:31. > :11:37.haven't been able to push on and get to the finals, which has got the fan

:11:38. > :11:40.base on his back. The new majority shareholder is wielding greater

:11:41. > :11:42.influence now, he has money behind him and he will want his own man in

:11:43. > :11:45.place to lead Everton forward. Well the bookmakers' favourite is

:11:46. > :11:49.Frank de Boer, who resigned as head coach of Dutch

:11:50. > :11:51.giants Ajax earlier on Thursday. Stoke City manager Mark Hughes,

:11:52. > :11:54.a former Everton player, is second favourite in the betting,

:12:06. > :12:32.in England, saying he's enjoyed Of course, I have enjoyed the

:12:33. > :12:35.experience. Not only because of the title won, but also because I said

:12:36. > :12:42.this is the best league in the world, for the fans and the

:12:43. > :12:49.players. The stadiums are always at full capacity, so it is a very

:12:50. > :12:51.competitive league with the six biggest teams being very close to

:12:52. > :12:57.each other in the amount of money that they spend, and the potential

:12:58. > :13:01.of their squad. So it is very difficult to win the title, and

:13:02. > :13:06.after that it is very difficult to play every game because all the

:13:07. > :13:09.teams have very good players so is very competitive.

:13:10. > :13:11.One manager who's not going anywhere is Tottenham's Mauricio Pochettino.

:13:12. > :13:14.He was photographed having lunch with Alex Ferguson this week,

:13:15. > :13:17.prompting rumours he could be a target for Manchester United,

:13:44. > :13:46.The American posted a video on social media on Wednesday

:13:47. > :13:50.showing the food she ordered for her pet dog Chip at their hotel.

:19:02. > :19:03.Remember, you can burn regardless of what the temperature is -

:19:04. > :19:07.it's all to do with the strength of the sunshine and the clearer skies.

:19:08. > :19:10.Now, into Saturday, we are going to see that cold front reach

:19:11. > :19:14.That means that on Saturday morning, dawn, you can see

:40:53. > :40:54.damaging for the UK and its population.

:41:06. > :41:10.Ministers have proposed a new board replacing the BBC Trust,

:41:11. > :41:12.with the majority of its members appointed independently.

:41:13. > :41:14.The BBC's director-general, Lord Hall, broadly welcomed

:41:15. > :41:17.the plans but he raised concerns that not enough had been done to

:41:18. > :41:20.Our political editor Laura Kuennsberg explains.

:41:21. > :41:31.The BBC has been everywhere for all our lifetimes,

:41:32. > :41:38.And you will know what the top stars get paid.

:41:39. > :41:41.You could get a lot of people to host them and the shows would

:41:42. > :41:45.still be successful, because the base product is of such quality.

:41:46. > :41:50.If I was in charge I would definitely have

:41:51. > :41:59.The Culture Secretary, who once said he was tempted to abolish the BBC,

:42:00. > :42:04.Mr Speaker, the BBC is and must always remain

:42:05. > :42:09.We want the BBC to thrive, to make fantastic programmes

:42:10. > :42:13.for audiences, and to act as an engine for growth and creativity.

:42:14. > :42:20.The BBC trust will be replaced with a new independent board,

:42:21. > :42:31.as many of half of its members appointed by the government.

:42:32. > :42:33.It will be ruled by regulations of impartiality and neutrality.

:42:34. > :42:36.And for the first time, Ofcom will regulate it.

:42:37. > :42:38.The government will not stick its nose into schedules, and the

:42:39. > :42:46.The big issues, the future of the licence fee

:42:47. > :42:49.and how it competes with its rivals, you have ducked the questions?

:42:50. > :42:53.No, I think these changes will have a significant effect, and ensure

:42:54. > :43:08.that the BBC excels even more of what the BBC does that are prized

:43:09. > :43:11.by audiences across the country, and also put in place a completely

:43:12. > :43:15.It will be much more involved in the day to day running, the board.

:43:16. > :43:17.Why should half of them be government appointees?

:43:18. > :43:19.The BBC benefits from ?3.7 billion of public money,

:43:20. > :43:22.and I think the government is entitled to have representation.

:43:23. > :43:24.But there is a fear the BBC would have tipped

:43:25. > :43:30.This is not a state broadcaster like you get in the Eastern bloc,

:43:31. > :43:34.it is an independent element of free speech.

:43:35. > :43:38.Why does the government have any right to put anyone on that board?

:43:39. > :43:42.If you get your drama fix only through iPlayer,

:43:43. > :43:46.you will have to pay the license fee, and for new services there

:43:47. > :43:51.I think the white paper's main message

:43:52. > :43:56.about distinctive, high quality programming is exactly what the BBC

:43:57. > :44:01.If you are being really honest with yourself,

:44:02. > :44:05.do you have even a tiny inkling that somehow the BBC got away with it?

:44:06. > :44:08.I don't think the BBC got away with it.

:44:09. > :44:13.I think if you look back at where we were a year ago,

:44:14. > :44:17.the debates and discussions that have been had involving the part

:44:18. > :44:21.of government, some of it in public and some behind closed

:44:22. > :44:27.doors, are exactly the discussions and debates you should have.

:44:28. > :44:30.For months there have been all sorts of suggestions

:44:31. > :44:34.around here that might have changed what you see and hear.

:44:35. > :44:41.Today's plans will change how the BBC is run, but it is more

:44:42. > :44:44.tinkering under the bonnet of the organisation itself than

:44:45. > :44:54.But with the days of huddling around the TV set disappearing fast,

:44:55. > :45:01.There will be disappointment in the commercial sector that

:45:02. > :45:06.the BBC has not been reduced in scope and size, I'm sure that

:45:07. > :45:10.will be the case, but the emphasis on innovation and risk-taking is

:45:11. > :45:21.At times it seemed the BBC could have been served an ultimatum.

:45:22. > :45:24.It will face more pressure, but these talks have come to

:45:25. > :45:36.In Florida the Invictus Games have come to a close.

:45:37. > :45:39.Founded by Prince Harry - they give wounded service members the chance

:45:40. > :45:46.An American athlete made headlines when she gave one of her gold medals

:45:47. > :45:49.back to the prince, asking him to give it to the British

:45:50. > :45:56.For many here, this has been the week of their lives.

:45:57. > :45:58.They've often gone through the toughest of times, some getting

:45:59. > :46:06.Now they've competed with athletes from around the world.

:46:07. > :46:08.Lieutenant Kirsty Wallace broke her back while training

:46:09. > :46:13.The spirit of the Games are just amazing.

:46:14. > :46:17.There is banter between all the different teams,

:46:18. > :46:20.getting to know the other countries, all the competitors.

:46:21. > :46:23.Prince Harry is such a huge ambassador for this event.

:46:24. > :46:28.The banter he has between him and us, the team, is fantastic.

:46:29. > :46:33.He is willing to come up and give sweaty hugs at the end of a race.

:46:34. > :46:36.And Prince Harry, who served in the Army for ten years and came

:46:37. > :46:41.up with the idea of these Games, has been a huge presence here.

:46:42. > :46:43.Earlier this week, he was interviewed with American

:46:44. > :46:46.swimmer Elizabeth Marks, who at the first Invictus Games in London had

:46:47. > :46:52.They saved my life there, so I'm very grateful it happened

:46:53. > :46:55.where it did because they provided me with excellent medical care

:46:56. > :46:58.and things might not have gone as well had it been somewhere else.

:46:59. > :47:07.But when he did, after she won gold in the pool, she handed back

:47:08. > :47:10.the medal to Harry, telling him to give it to Papworth Hospital

:47:11. > :47:15.in Cambridgeshire, where she had her operation two years ago.

:47:16. > :47:19.Support for this year's event came from Olympic stars.

:47:20. > :47:22.The ability that the athletes that are here, that they have to inspire

:47:23. > :47:27.kids but also the wider community is a tremendous gift that they have.

:47:28. > :47:31.This is when sport is at its very best.

:47:32. > :47:35.The hope is this also inspires other sick and injured soldiers

:47:36. > :47:37.everywhere, fighting their own personal battles.

:47:38. > :47:48.And you can get in touch with me and most of the team on Twitter -

:47:49. > :48:12.Well, temperatures in the last few days have been up

:48:13. > :48:15.and down a little bit but, generally speaking, closer to what we would

:48:16. > :48:19.But now there is some cooler and much fresher weather

:48:20. > :48:23.Friday is still going to be quite a warm day, particualrly

:48:24. > :48:28.These northerly winds you can see here are going to introduce much

:48:29. > :48:31.fresher conditions to the northern half of the UK for Friday itself.

:48:32. > :48:33.First thing in the morning on Friday,

:48:34. > :48:41.That cold front, which you can see here, will be sinking southward

:48:42. > :48:47.That is the leading edge of the cooler air to the north of it.

:48:48. > :48:49.So let's start with Scotland, four o'clock in the afternoon,

:48:50. > :48:52.you can see just how much lower these values are,

:48:53. > :48:58.Cooler along the North Sea coast, for sure,

:48:59. > :49:01.particularly in that breeze out of the north or the north-west.

:49:02. > :49:04.We are still hanging on for a time to that warmer weather in the south.

:49:05. > :49:09.Perhaps even touching 23-24 degrees in the south-west, and a chance

:49:10. > :49:15.The sun will be very strong on Friday.

:49:16. > :49:21.You can see how high the UV levels are across a large chunk of the UK.

:49:22. > :49:23.And even moderate there across parts of Scotland.

:49:24. > :49:26.Remember, you can burn regardless of what the temperature is -

:49:27. > :49:30.it's all to do with the strength of the sunshine and the clearer skies.

:49:31. > :49:33.Now, into Saturday, we are going to see that cold front reach

:49:34. > :49:38.That means that on Saturday morning, dawn, you can see

:49:39. > :49:41.the temperatures really nippy across quite a large part of the UK.

:49:42. > :49:43.Down to freezing perhaps in rural spots as far south

:49:44. > :49:48.as central parts of Britain, down into Wales, for example.

:49:49. > :49:51.On Saturday itself, at times it will be cloudy, particularly

:49:52. > :49:57.Overcast from time to time in coastal areas.

:49:58. > :49:59.Further west it should be brighter and fresh conditions,

:50:00. > :50:04.How are we doing compared to the rest of Europe?

:50:05. > :50:07.Actually, Madrid won't be that much warmer - only 19 degrees.

:50:08. > :50:10.Quite a few downpours across many central areas of the continent, from

:50:11. > :50:14.the south-east of France, across the Alpine region and into eastern

:50:15. > :50:20.Back home, on Sunday, we still keep that northerly air stream.

:50:21. > :50:23.It will feel particularly cooler along these North Sea coasts.

:50:24. > :50:25.Best and brightest of the weather will always be

:50:26. > :50:37.The weekend will be largely dry, fresh with some fine days,

:50:38. > :51:54.clear evenings but, as a result, it will be chilly overnight.

:51:55. > :51:59.The latest headlines from BBC News. I'm Mike Embley.

:52:00. > :52:01.The acting Brazilian president, Michel Temer, has urged

:52:02. > :52:04.the country to unite behind him as it emerges from a political crisis.

:52:05. > :52:09.In his first speech since replacing Dilma Rousseff, who

:52:10. > :52:12.was suspended to face an impeachment trial, Mr Temer said Brazil had to

:52:13. > :52:18.rebuild its credibility and get the economy growing again.

:52:19. > :52:21.Top US Republicans appear to have made their peace with presidential

:52:22. > :52:25.election frontrunner Donald Trump - but there's no word of endorsement'.

:52:26. > :52:28.Leading Congressman Paul Ryan said they had a productive conversation

:52:29. > :52:35.The US Navy says it has fired the commander of ten American

:52:36. > :52:37.sailors who were briefly captured by Iran in January.

:52:38. > :52:39.The sailors had strayed off course in the Gulf

:52:40. > :52:42.and were held and questioned in Iran for 15 hours.

:52:43. > :52:44.A US Navy official said the commander had failed to provide

:52:45. > :53:15.Hello, and welcome to Thursday In Parliament. On this programme, the

:53:16. > :53:19.government sets out plans for the future of the BBC, urging it to

:53:20. > :53:23.focus on distinctiveness and diversity. Just how many people are

:53:24. > :53:28.coming to the UK from the rest of the EU? Ministers are urged to iron

:53:29. > :53:31.out the wrinkles in the figures. And a former Labour leader fears a

:53:32. > :53:36.calendar clash between EU referendum and the Glastonbury Festival. It

:53:37. > :53:42.would be an awful pity if instead of voting, they were rocking, my God.

:53:43. > :53:45.But first, the culture secretary has unveiled the blueprint for the

:53:46. > :53:51.future of the BBC, saying the broadcaster needs to focus on

:53:52. > :53:55.distinctiveness and diversity. John Whittingdale dismissed earlier plans

:53:56. > :53:58.to reduce the BBC's independence and funding as the hysterical

:53:59. > :54:04.speculation of left-wing lovelies. Under the plans, the licence fee

:54:05. > :54:07.will continue for the next 11 years. People watching BBC programmes

:54:08. > :54:13.online will have to pay the licence fee. The BBC will be overseen by a

:54:14. > :54:16.new unitary board and regulated by the broadcasting watchdog of com.

:54:17. > :54:21.And there was news about the highest-paid individuals, including

:54:22. > :54:25.star names. The public has a right to know what the highest earners the

:54:26. > :54:30.busy employees are paid out of their licence fee. The new charter will

:54:31. > :54:33.require the BBC to go further regarding the transparency of what

:54:34. > :54:38.it pays its talent and publish the names of all of its employees and

:54:39. > :54:44.freelancers above ?450,000, which is the current director general

:54:45. > :54:48.salary. John Whittingdale said the government was not saying the BBC

:54:49. > :54:54.should not be popular. Some of its most distant of programmes --

:54:55. > :55:01.distinctive programmes had wide audiences, but it wasn't for the BBC

:55:02. > :55:06.to create popular shows. New programming should be asked

:55:07. > :55:10.consistently if it is innovative and high quality rather than simply how

:55:11. > :55:14.will it do in the ratings? So we will place a requirement to provide

:55:15. > :55:19.distinctive content and services at the heart of the BBC's overall core

:55:20. > :55:25.mission of informing, educating and entertaining in the public interest.

:55:26. > :55:30.For the last few weeks, we have had to read and increasing avalanche of

:55:31. > :55:33.briefing to Conservative supporting newspapers, especially those

:55:34. > :55:38.newspapers hostile to the BBC, which appears to have been emanating from

:55:39. > :55:42.his department. The fact that most of his wilder proposals appear to

:55:43. > :55:46.have been watered down or dogs or delayed by the government of which

:55:47. > :55:51.he is a member is a reflection of his menacing influence and lack of

:55:52. > :55:55.clout. He has not got his way in most things, and I welcome that. She

:55:56. > :56:00.was concerned about the appointments to the new board. I am still worried

:56:01. > :56:05.that the government is seeking unduly to influence the output and

:56:06. > :56:10.editorial decision-making of the BBC, or can be see to be doing so.

:56:11. > :56:16.So will be Secretary of State now promise that all government

:56:17. > :56:18.appointments will be made by a demonstrably independent process?

:56:19. > :56:23.Overseen by the commission for Public appointments, which prevents

:56:24. > :56:26.there being any suspicion that the government seeks to turn the BBC

:56:27. > :56:32.into something over which it has more control than is currently the

:56:33. > :56:35.case? I do have some sympathy for the right honourable lady, who had a

:56:36. > :56:40.dry run at this yesterday. She rehearsed all of her lines of attack

:56:41. > :56:43.only to wake up this morning to discover all of the concerns she

:56:44. > :56:50.expressed were based on ill founded hysterical speculation by left-wing

:56:51. > :56:56.lovelies. A view shared by a voting Conservative. Every fox she expects

:56:57. > :56:59.to see running has appeared to be shot, and the hound she expected to

:57:00. > :57:04.release appears to be running around in confusion. I'm sorry to say the

:57:05. > :57:09.British people will not be fooled by his words today. There might be some

:57:10. > :57:15.fantasy foxes being shot this morning, but the fact is, by Sunny

:57:16. > :57:18.at a budget when this is being called over and we look at the

:57:19. > :57:24.detail, I believe this will be a deep, dark day for the BBC, and the

:57:25. > :57:30.British public... OK, the people supporting Brexit who want to hate

:57:31. > :57:34.the BBC and Europe, the fact of the matter is this will be a champagne

:57:35. > :57:39.night for Rupert Murdoch and Richard Desmond. The BBC is better than

:57:40. > :57:44.that, and it is owned by the British people, not this government! Is

:57:45. > :57:49.despicable, the BBC have struggled with diversity on screen and off

:57:50. > :57:52.screen for far too long. I absolutely welcome the enshrinement

:57:53. > :57:56.of diversity into the new charter. It is the right and wise thing to

:57:57. > :58:00.do. Does the Secretary of State agree with me at attracting the

:58:01. > :58:04.brightest and most diverse talent will actually improve the content of

:58:05. > :58:10.the BBC's offering and also ultimately the ratings? Alan Grant.

:58:11. > :58:14.That statement was repeated a short time later in the House of Lords. My

:58:15. > :58:16.Lords, surely it is there to congratulate the government on

:58:17. > :58:20.dropping some of the more unacceptable proposals that they

:58:21. > :58:25.have floated over the last few weeks? And to congratulate them on

:58:26. > :58:29.abolishing the BBC trust, which should never have been established

:58:30. > :58:34.and the committee of this has actually said ten user go should not

:58:35. > :58:40.be. -- ten years ago. The test for me today is does this white paper

:58:41. > :58:45.leave the BBC more independent or less independent than it is today?

:58:46. > :58:48.And my fear is it is less independent. Many of us are very

:58:49. > :58:53.concerned this is the thin end of the wedge and will prevent the BBC

:58:54. > :58:58.from competing in prime time with commercial broadcasters, and is

:58:59. > :59:02.deliberately designed to do so. What assurance Kenny Minister give to

:59:03. > :59:09.this has that that is not the intention and that will not be the

:59:10. > :59:13.case? ! Can the Minister give? I can assure my noble friend that is not

:59:14. > :59:17.the intention. It is something the BBC has fully recognised and

:59:18. > :59:21.embraced. The BBC's borough to general has been a driving force

:59:22. > :59:28.here. He has highlighted he wants to see a system that only holds our

:59:29. > :59:33.feet on destructiveness, and that is what the white paper proposals will

:59:34. > :59:41.deliver -- director-general. My Lords... My Lords, the register

:59:42. > :59:44.declares my interest as a member of an endangered species, but is now a

:59:45. > :59:54.member of a condemned species, namely the BBC trust. Knowing the

:59:55. > :59:57.great interest that they is in this house, can I welcome the

:59:58. > :00:03.government's commitment in the white paper to ring-fencing of the BBC

:00:04. > :00:07.World Service? That is important. That presents a solid guarantee for

:00:08. > :00:13.the years ahead as well as a certainty provided by an 11 year

:00:14. > :00:18.charter. My concerns, however, other the proposals to protect the BBC's

:00:19. > :00:21.independents do not go far enough. We'll be Minister assure the house

:00:22. > :00:27.that the government will provide sufficient guarantees that its

:00:28. > :00:30.future decisions about the BBC and especially about funding and

:00:31. > :00:34.appointments to the board, made clearly and transparently and

:00:35. > :00:41.without compromising the BBC's independents? The lady said pointed

:00:42. > :00:47.it out would be debated in the weeks and months ahead. The government has

:00:48. > :00:49.urged MPs not to distort discovered seas between national insurance

:00:50. > :00:57.numbers and long-term aggression others. Figures for the office for

:00:58. > :01:02.National statistics show just over 250,000 migrants from other parts of

:01:03. > :01:07.the EU were recorded as coming to the over the last year. More than

:01:08. > :01:13.650,000 national insurance is reissued during the same period.

:01:14. > :01:16.John Redwood called on ministers to get a grip, think the difference

:01:17. > :01:21.between the two figures had had implications for public services.

:01:22. > :01:25.But answering an urgent question, the Immigration Minister said the

:01:26. > :01:29.gap was due to short-term EU migration to the UK. National

:01:30. > :01:33.insurance numbers can be obtained by anyone working in the UK for just a

:01:34. > :01:36.few weeks, and the ONS expense clearly why the number of national

:01:37. > :01:40.insurance registrations should not be compared with migration figures

:01:41. > :01:46.-- explains. They measure different things. We must now be careful not

:01:47. > :01:50.to distort these figures following their clear statements. Doesn't it

:01:51. > :01:55.show all the time we stay in the EU we cannot control you migration in

:01:56. > :02:00.the way we promise to do in the general election? Doesn't he share

:02:01. > :02:03.my wish to get a grip on it so we can properly plan our public

:02:04. > :02:09.services? I find the note slipped out, but fortunately this big lad

:02:10. > :02:14.and urgent question, does not allow discovered sea ordeal would this

:02:15. > :02:18.fundamental point that if someone works in debt and national

:02:19. > :02:22.insurance, we need to provide public facilities for them. The minister

:02:23. > :02:27.argued within the EU would not have the effect was to Redwood believed

:02:28. > :02:30.it would. This idea that somehow on the outside it would be better, I

:02:31. > :02:34.find it inconceivable that we would have access to the Sigel market and

:02:35. > :02:42.not have those issues of free movement -- single market. He quoted

:02:43. > :02:45.the head of the ONS. National insurance registrations are not a

:02:46. > :02:49.indicator of long-term migration. It shows many people who register for

:02:50. > :02:55.National Insurance stay in the United Kingdom for less than a year.

:02:56. > :02:59.Which is the minimum stay for a long-term migrant according to the

:03:00. > :03:05.internationally recognised definition. The publication of these

:03:06. > :03:11.numbers is simply one more confirmation that there is no

:03:12. > :03:15.chance, zero, of us fulfilling our promise to the British people on

:03:16. > :03:17.immigration to reduce it to the tens of thousands unless there is

:03:18. > :03:22.restriction of remembering of Labour within EU. Since the Minister

:03:23. > :03:26.mentioned the renegotiation, will he tell us why the government did not

:03:27. > :03:30.attempt in anyway to get a reduction in that free movement as part of

:03:31. > :03:34.that renegotiation? The real migrant crisis, which he and these country

:03:35. > :03:38.face at the moment, is the problem of how to deal in a civilised and

:03:39. > :03:42.effective way, would be fired of people coming from war and anarchy

:03:43. > :03:47.in the Middle East and North Africa, and the problem is not Polish

:03:48. > :03:51.construction workers and remaining nurses who make a valuable

:03:52. > :03:57.contribution to the economic life of this country. The Prime Minister was

:03:58. > :04:02.telling us unless he got his way on migration, he would consider leaving

:04:03. > :04:07.the EU. This was a minor change in migration figures and controls. He

:04:08. > :04:14.now says if we leave the EU might indeed be a third world war. Doesn't

:04:15. > :04:16.the mismatch, and we can see, I brought this graft silicon to the

:04:17. > :04:21.difference between the figures, we have no idea what net migration is.

:04:22. > :04:25.It is out of control and we need to get control back of our borders.

:04:26. > :04:29.That is what he should have done. I don't think these national insurance

:04:30. > :04:32.registrations are a reliable indicator on their own for measuring

:04:33. > :04:37.long-term international migration. Migration is a global phenomenon not

:04:38. > :04:42.just a European issue, and it is very much a 2-way street. In

:04:43. > :04:46.Scotland we are all too well aware that for generations, migration has

:04:47. > :04:49.meant many citizens have had to move abroad, and even now some of our

:04:50. > :04:53.most highly qualified young people leave to build careers in other

:04:54. > :04:56.parts of the world. Every EU citizen and their dependents has the right

:04:57. > :04:59.to come here, and the government has no means of excluding them even if

:05:00. > :05:05.they are criminals and terrorists. These figures clearly laid bare that

:05:06. > :05:06.the government is powerless to control EU immigration for the

:05:07. > :05:12.benefit of our public services. I came into the chamber hoping

:05:13. > :05:15.to see conspiracy exposed over National Insurance numbers

:05:16. > :05:17.and there is no conspiracy, Meanwhile, in the Lords,

:05:18. > :05:21.there were bad tempered exchanges over the causes of

:05:22. > :05:22.large-scale migration. A Liberal Democrat wanted to know

:05:23. > :05:25.what evidence the government had to support its claim that pull

:05:26. > :05:27.factors are responsible for the mass movement of people

:05:28. > :05:30.from the Middle East The causes of migration

:05:31. > :05:38.are many and complex. But are commonly described

:05:39. > :05:40.as consisting of push factors, that make people want to leave

:05:41. > :05:42.their own countries, and pull factors that make them

:05:43. > :05:46.choose particular destinations. The Government does not claim that

:05:47. > :05:49.pull factors alone are responsible for migration, but there is good

:05:50. > :05:52.circumstantial evidence that demonstrates language,

:05:53. > :05:56.benefits and work opportunities I can see from the Minister's reply

:05:57. > :06:05.that the Government still insist I am glad to see that he has now

:06:06. > :06:09.accepted that there are some That pull factors, by which I mean

:06:10. > :06:14.higher wages and benefits, Given that these have remained

:06:15. > :06:21.relatively stable over many years, what does he believe is the reason

:06:22. > :06:24.behind the very large increase in numbers

:06:25. > :06:30.of refugees in recent years? The Government has always recognised

:06:31. > :06:34.there are both push and pull factors Indeed, historically,

:06:35. > :06:39.that has been well established. We can go back to the Goths moving

:06:40. > :06:42.into the Western Roman Empire With regards to more recent

:06:43. > :06:47.migration, there is no doubt that a great deal

:06:48. > :06:51.of it is economically based. Indeed, statistical flows to Italy

:06:52. > :06:54.between January and April this year show that the top nationalities

:06:55. > :07:00.entering across the Mediterranean have been Nigerian,

:07:01. > :07:03.Gambian and Senegalese. Would not the Government

:07:04. > :07:10.accept that it is wars, repression and instability that

:07:11. > :07:12.primarily lead to the mass If those seeking to come

:07:13. > :07:16.from Europe, from the Middle East and North Africa are simply economic

:07:17. > :07:20.migrants, then why is it after every outbreak of violence

:07:21. > :07:24.and repression we get, a new wave of people from the area

:07:25. > :07:30.that has just had that outbreak? Listening to Labour pine

:07:31. > :07:33.on the matter of immigration and immigration control,

:07:34. > :07:35.is rather like listening to an arsonist on the subject

:07:36. > :07:46.of fire prevention. I cannot answer the question

:07:47. > :07:54.unless I'm given an opportunity Now, the position is this, yes, yes,

:07:55. > :08:00.push factors increase when there is violence

:08:01. > :08:03.and instability but push factors There are push factors and pull

:08:04. > :08:08.factors and a simple It takes the second-highest number

:08:09. > :08:14.of asylum seekers from North Africa and the Mediterranean area and yet

:08:15. > :08:17.has the borders furthest away You are watching Thursday

:08:18. > :08:23.in Parliament with me, Now, do you have a Smart meter

:08:24. > :08:31.in your home monitoring how much The Government has committed

:08:32. > :08:38.to getting 53 million of these devices into homes and businesses

:08:39. > :08:41.by the end of 2020. Smart meters send information

:08:42. > :08:44.on energy usage directly back to the supplier

:08:45. > :08:49.and there are concerns Concerns were raised with the Energy

:08:50. > :08:56.and Climate Change Secretary who told the Commons

:08:57. > :08:58.that the new meters were vital to putting consumers in control

:08:59. > :09:02.of their energy use. Consumers need to have ready access

:09:03. > :09:05.to the data from their Smart meters if we are to achieve this goal,

:09:06. > :09:08.and that is why all households will be offered an in-home display

:09:09. > :09:11.that will allow them to see the energy that they are using in

:09:12. > :09:16.real near-time as well as its costs and why it will also add suppliers

:09:17. > :09:19.to trial new and innovative Yes, Smart meters can transform

:09:20. > :09:27.domestic energy consumption and literally help save the planet

:09:28. > :09:29.but only if consumers are giving secure, controlled

:09:30. > :09:35.ownership of their own data. The display option she refers

:09:36. > :09:38.to will still allow Smart meters to be a back door into our homes

:09:39. > :09:42.for hackers so can she, before it is too late,

:09:43. > :09:47.overcome her ridiculous complacency and announce measures which will

:09:48. > :09:50.give consumers the digital The honourable lady should know that

:09:51. > :10:00.privacy is absolutely protected and at the heart

:10:01. > :10:05.of the Smart meter programme. She should be careful not to put

:10:06. > :10:09.fear into the hearts of people The data is protected and the data

:10:10. > :10:12.belongs not to Government, which some people might not

:10:13. > :10:14.unreasonably fear, So we will make sure that we always

:10:15. > :10:19.reassure consumers that privacy is at the core of delivering safe

:10:20. > :10:23.meters in the future. According to government's

:10:24. > :10:26.own calculations, they reckon that with Smart meters installed,

:10:27. > :10:28.we could as a nation save some ?17 billion on our collective energy

:10:29. > :10:33.bills over the next 15 years. Does the Minister recognise that

:10:34. > :10:36.if consumers have access to their detailed data usage,

:10:37. > :10:39.this would put them in a good position to share with third

:10:40. > :10:42.parties, should they want to, and this could improve competition

:10:43. > :10:45.which is something the Government Yes, Mr Speaker, the Government

:10:46. > :10:50.will be glad to see the fact that competition and market authority

:10:51. > :10:54.have said they are going to make available in a controlled way,

:10:55. > :10:57.the details of people who have not switched, who have to make sure

:10:58. > :11:01.it is done in a way which doesn't result in consumers feeling

:11:02. > :11:04.overwhelmed by suggestions. They have yet to come out with final

:11:05. > :11:09.solution on this point but I'm confident they will do so in a way

:11:10. > :11:13.that is measured and it will help make sure that the people who have

:11:14. > :11:15.not been switching have access to switching

:11:16. > :11:17.and the opportunities There was one item not

:11:18. > :11:21.on the Commons agenda on Thursday which many MPs had been expecting -

:11:22. > :11:26.a statement on Syria. The Leader of the House Chris

:11:27. > :11:28.Grayling suggested last week that there would be a statement

:11:29. > :11:31.before this session So a Labour MP asked the Speaker

:11:32. > :11:36.when it might now happen. Quarterly reports, Mr Speaker,

:11:37. > :11:39.as you will recall, were part of the motion agreed in this House

:11:40. > :11:42.on the 2nd December, 2015 and as the first few weeks

:11:43. > :11:47.will be taken up of the new session for the Queen's Speech,

:11:48. > :11:50.I wanted to see your guidance as to when would be the very first

:11:51. > :11:54.opportunity that we would be able to have a statement

:11:55. > :11:56.from the Government on the situation Realistically, it seems to me that

:11:57. > :12:12.a statement cannot be made to the House for at least a week

:12:13. > :12:16.and it may be somewhat I take very seriously the point

:12:17. > :12:24.of order the honourable I am bound to say that I did recall

:12:25. > :12:31.what was said last week and therefore I had rather

:12:32. > :12:34.anticipated that there was to be The House had been

:12:35. > :12:39.told there would be. There may very well have been some

:12:40. > :12:42.private understanding reached between the front benches on this

:12:43. > :12:46.matter, I have no Although I would just say,

:12:47. > :12:51.whether that is the case or not, that there has to be a respect

:12:52. > :12:55.for the rights of the House and its legitimate

:12:56. > :13:00.expectations as a whole. This is not just a matter

:13:01. > :13:02.of what front benches may or may not have agreed,

:13:03. > :13:05.so I confess I was looking forward It seemed to me a very important

:13:06. > :13:10.matter and the Government Chief Whip is unfailingly courteous to me

:13:11. > :13:15.and to all members, is in his place and he has heard what has been said

:13:16. > :13:18.and I very much hope, let's just put it like that,

:13:19. > :13:22.it was a very good commitment the Government made,

:13:23. > :13:24.I very much hope we can have that The cause was taken up

:13:25. > :13:33.by a Liberal Democrat who picked up on a phrase used by the Speaker

:13:34. > :13:35.at Prime Minister's Questions the day before when he had

:13:36. > :13:38.said the party leader, Tim Farron, should be heard,

:13:39. > :13:41.however irritating he might be You will be aware that I have been

:13:42. > :13:47.pursuing this issue of the Syrian quarterly statements

:13:48. > :13:49.for some months now, in a dogged and possibly

:13:50. > :13:53.irritating fashion. I accept of course that

:13:54. > :13:57.the Government have made a number of statements on this matter,

:13:58. > :14:01.whether it is the siege of Aleppo, the Russian intervention,

:14:02. > :14:07.the humanitarian conference, but they have rarely focused

:14:08. > :14:10.on the matter which I think the Prime Minister promised

:14:11. > :14:14.to report on, and that was quarterly statements in relation to the RAF's

:14:15. > :14:24.action against Daesh in Syria. Periodically, people

:14:25. > :14:28.irritate other people, I am always happy to hear members

:14:29. > :14:37.and I'm very happy to hear the right honourable gentleman's right

:14:38. > :14:39.honourable friend yesterday. In fact, so keen was I to hear

:14:40. > :14:42.the right honourable gentleman, that I called him something like ten

:14:43. > :14:45.minutes into injury time, so I'm sure he won't have any

:14:46. > :14:48.complaints, he is He can look after himself and he has

:14:49. > :14:53.a good sense of humour in any case. I don't think I can offer

:14:54. > :14:56.the prospect of a statement on Wednesday of next week, I think

:14:57. > :15:01.that is simply not practical. I think that we have to balance

:15:02. > :15:07.the understandable disappointment on the part of many members

:15:08. > :15:12.that there isn't a statement today with a degree of reasonableness

:15:13. > :15:16.as to when that statement I don't think we would serve

:15:17. > :15:21.the House by interrupting the Queen's Speech debate

:15:22. > :15:27.on Wednesday of next week. Now, are you registered to vote

:15:28. > :15:32.and what about anyone you know under In the Lords, many Peers

:15:33. > :15:38.were concerned that with the EU referendum just weeks away,

:15:39. > :15:40.many teenagers and university A former Labour

:15:41. > :15:46.leader wanted action. Will the Government therefore make

:15:47. > :15:49.major efforts, in addition to the commitments they have so far

:15:50. > :15:58.undertaken, particularly through the online communication

:15:59. > :16:00.that was mentioned and through social media to ensure that young

:16:01. > :16:07.people know that the final date for voter registration

:16:08. > :16:09.and for getting a postal vote Does the Minister agree with me

:16:10. > :16:17.that this kind of information is specially vital when

:16:18. > :16:21.polling day coincides with the Glastonbury Festival,

:16:22. > :16:28.which through broadcasting, could rather preoccupy the attention

:16:29. > :16:32.of millions of young people, whose votes are not only

:16:33. > :16:36.vital to their future, It would be an awful pity

:16:37. > :16:45.if, instead of voting, I think the answer is in

:16:46. > :16:48.the question. I think the noble Lord should get

:16:49. > :16:53.a group of their Lordships together, appear on stage, and sing,

:16:54. > :16:58.no satisfaction, unless Which nod to the Rolling Stones

:16:59. > :17:05.brings us rumbling to the end The session closed with a

:17:06. > :17:13.traditional ceremony of prorogation. It begins with the Lords gathering

:17:14. > :17:16.with the Leader of the House, Lady Stowell taking centre stage

:17:17. > :17:18.as senior Peers gather Black Rod is then summoned and asked

:17:19. > :17:27.to go to the Commons to summon MPs. Just as with the Queen's Speech,

:17:28. > :17:31.Black Rod, General David Leakey, And having passed through

:17:32. > :17:35.Central Lobby, he arrives Black Rod delivers his message

:17:36. > :17:41.to MPs who then leave their seats and slowly process out

:17:42. > :17:44.of the Commons chamber and down the corridor to gather at the bar

:17:45. > :17:49.of the House of Lords. When the MPs arrive,

:17:50. > :17:51.there is a ceremonial doffing of hats before the Leader

:17:52. > :17:54.of the Lords tells MPs that while the Queen

:17:55. > :17:57.is not present herself, she has given her royal assent

:17:58. > :18:01.to a number of acts. The names of the bills which have

:18:02. > :18:04.recently been passed are then read out and the Clerk of Parliaments

:18:05. > :18:09.gives royal assent in Norman French. After which, MPs return

:18:10. > :18:19.to the Commons before finally leaving Westminster, shaking hands

:18:20. > :18:22.with the Speaker John Bercow So that is it from us but do join me

:18:23. > :18:30.on Friday night at 11pm for a full round-up of the week

:18:31. > :18:33.here at Westminster, when among other things,

:18:34. > :18:35.I'll be talking to two Westminster watchers about the art

:18:36. > :18:37.of the political U-turn. But for now, from me,

:18:38. > :18:54.Alicia McCarthy, goodbye. Well, temperatures

:18:55. > :18:57.in the last few days have been up and down a little bit but, generally

:18:58. > :19:00.speaking, closer to what we would But now there is some cooler

:19:01. > :19:04.and much fresher weather Friday is still going to be quite

:19:05. > :19:08.a warm day, particualrly These northerly winds you can see

:19:09. > :19:13.here are going to introduce much fresher conditions to the northern

:19:14. > :19:17.half of the UK for Friday itself. First thing in the morning

:19:18. > :19:18.on Friday, That cold front, which you can see

:19:19. > :19:27.here, will be sinking southward That is the leading edge of

:19:28. > :19:32.the cooler air to the north of it. So let's start with Scotland,

:19:33. > :19:34.four o'clock in the afternoon, you can see just how much lower

:19:35. > :19:37.these values are, Cooler along the North Sea coast,

:19:38. > :19:43.for sure, particularly in that breeze out

:19:44. > :19:46.of the north or the north-west. We are still hanging on for a time

:19:47. > :19:49.to that warmer weather in the south. Perhaps even touching 23-24 degrees

:19:50. > :19:54.in the south-west, and a chance The sun will be very strong

:19:55. > :20:01.on Friday. You can see how high the UV levels

:20:02. > :20:08.are across a large chunk of the UK. And even moderate there

:20:09. > :20:10.across parts of Scotland. Remember, you can burn regardless

:20:11. > :20:13.of what the temperature is - it's all to do with the strength of

:20:14. > :20:17.the sunshine and the clearer skies. Now, into Saturday, we are going

:20:18. > :20:20.to see that cold front reach That means that on Saturday morning,

:20:21. > :20:25.dawn, you can see the temperatures really nippy across

:20:26. > :20:28.quite a large part of the UK. Down to freezing perhaps

:20:29. > :20:31.in rural spots as far south as central parts of Britain,

:20:32. > :20:33.down into Wales, for example. On Saturday itself, at times it will

:20:34. > :20:36.be cloudy, particularly Overcast from time to time

:20:37. > :20:40.in coastal areas. Further west it should be brighter

:20:41. > :20:44.and fresh conditions, How are we doing compared to

:20:45. > :20:49.the rest of Europe? Actually, Madrid won't be that

:20:50. > :20:52.much warmer - only 19 degrees. Quite a few downpours across many

:20:53. > :20:55.central areas of the continent, from the south-east of France, across

:20:56. > :20:59.the Alpine region and into eastern Back home, on Sunday, we still

:21:00. > :21:04.keep that northerly air stream. It will feel particularly cooler

:21:05. > :21:07.along these North Sea coasts. Best and brightest

:21:08. > :21:10.of the weather will always be I think in London 16 on Sunday.

:21:11. > :21:16.Further north typically 11-12. The weekend will be largely dry,

:21:17. > :21:20.fresh with some fine days, clear evenings but, as a result,

:21:21. > :22:10.it will be chilly overnight. Welcome to BBC News, broadcasting

:46:17. > :46:22.they say they do not get it and it looks like retention is nonsense?

:46:23. > :46:26.The more effort that you put in to considering an artwork, the more you

:46:27. > :46:32.will get out of it. I do think that because of the work of all four of

:46:40. > :46:45.that it will be a very exciting and dynamic exhibition. -- I feel. The

:46:46. > :46:51.audience will be able to start just by enjoying the energy as they walk

:47:42. > :47:46.for the country to unite. He said the Olympic Games will allow Brazil

:47:47. > :47:55.to show the world its true economic position. He replaced Dilma Rousseff

:47:56. > :47:58.after she was suspended after facing a trial. She says what is going on

:47:59. > :48:00.is a coup. And you can get in touch with me

:48:01. > :48:04.and most of the team on Twitter - Well, temperatures

:48:05. > :48:11.in the last few days have been up and down a little bit but, generally

:48:12. > :48:15.speaking, closer to what we would But now there is some cooler

:48:16. > :48:19.and much fresher weather Friday is still going to be quite

:48:20. > :48:23.a warm day, particualrly These northerly winds you can see

:48:24. > :48:28.here are going to introduce much fresher conditions to the northern

:48:29. > :48:32.half of the UK for Friday itself. First thing in the morning

:48:33. > :48:34.on Friday, That cold front, which you can see

:48:35. > :48:41.here, will be sinking southward That is the leading edge of

:48:42. > :48:46.the cooler air to the north of it. So let's start with Scotland,

:48:47. > :48:49.four o'clock in the afternoon, you can see just how much lower

:48:50. > :48:52.these values are, Cooler along the North Sea coast,

:48:53. > :48:57.for sure, particularly in that breeze out

:48:58. > :49:01.of the north or the north-west. We are still hanging on for a time

:49:02. > :49:04.to that warmer weather in the south. Perhaps even touching 23-24 degrees

:49:05. > :49:09.in the south-west, and a chance The sun will be very strong

:49:10. > :49:15.on Friday. You can see how high the UV levels

:49:16. > :49:20.are across a large chunk of the UK. And even moderate there

:49:21. > :49:22.across parts of Scotland. Remember, you can burn regardless

:49:23. > :49:26.of what the temperature is - it's all to do with the strength of

:49:27. > :49:29.the sunshine and the clearer skies. Now, into Saturday, we are going

:49:30. > :49:32.to see that cold front reach That means that on Saturday morning,

:49:33. > :49:37.dawn, you can see the temperatures really nippy across

:49:38. > :49:40.quite a large part of the UK. Down to freezing perhaps

:49:41. > :49:42.in rural spots as far south as central parts of Britain,

:49:43. > :49:45.down into Wales, for example. On Saturday itself, at times it will

:49:46. > :49:49.be cloudy, particularly Overcast from time to time

:49:50. > :49:55.in coastal areas. Further west it should be brighter

:49:56. > :49:57.and fresh conditions, How are we doing compared to

:49:58. > :50:03.the rest of Europe? Actually, Madrid won't be that

:50:04. > :50:06.much warmer - only 19 degrees. Quite a few downpours across many

:50:07. > :50:09.central areas of the continent, from the south-east of France, across

:50:10. > :50:12.the Alpine region and into eastern Back home, on Sunday, we still

:50:13. > :50:18.keep that northerly air stream. It will feel particularly cooler

:50:19. > :50:22.along these North Sea coasts. Best and brightest

:50:23. > :50:24.of the weather will always be I think in London 16 on Sunday.

:50:25. > :50:31.Further north typically 11-12. The weekend will be largely dry,

:50:32. > :50:36.fresh with some fine days, clear evenings but, as a result,

:50:37. > :52:00.it will be chilly overnight. Brazil's acting president,

:52:01. > :52:03.Michel Temer, has urged the country to unite behind him as

:52:04. > :52:06.it emerges from political crisis. He's just replaced Dilma Rousseff,

:52:07. > :52:09.who's been suspended and now faces Mr Temer, who used to be her

:52:10. > :52:13.vice-president, said Brazil must rebuild its credibility

:52:14. > :52:21.and get the economy growing again. Senior Republicans appear to have

:52:22. > :52:24.made their peace with the US presidential election frontrunner

:52:25. > :52:26.Donald Trump, but there's no word The most senior elected Republican,

:52:27. > :52:30.Paul Ryan, said in spite of their differences he was "encouraged"

:52:31. > :52:32.by a productive conversation. The US Navy has fired the commander

:52:36. > :52:43.in the Gulf and were held and questioned in Iran

:53:01. > :53:03.into what caused the crater. Not the usual start to a Thursday

:53:04. > :53:13.for this man. After parking his car outside

:53:14. > :53:16.his brother's home last night, he got a very unwelcome wake-up

:53:17. > :53:28.call this morning when his brother told him his car had been swallowed

:53:29. > :53:32.up by a six metre sinkhole. It was a surprise, and I asked

:53:33. > :53:35.for anything like, was somebody hurt The hole appeared at about 3am,

:53:36. > :53:54.but neighbours didn't think anything Basically just a big clash og

:53:55. > :54:07.thunder. Once the area was deemed safe, work

:54:08. > :54:15.to remove the car got under way. There was speculation that wet

:54:16. > :54:21.weather or heavy traffic could have been behind the collapse, but it is

:54:22. > :54:24.not yet known what caused it. I am worried about if this

:54:25. > :54:27.happens again in the future. They should do

:54:28. > :54:50.investigations. Residents are bound

:54:51. > :54:52.to feel rather nervous about what has happened, but we can assure them

:54:53. > :54:56.that we are doing everything that Greenwich council will

:55:01. > :55:04.closed for up to ten days. This week I am finding out what it

:55:05. > :55:08.takes to be a real-life ninja I don't think ninjas

:55:09. > :55:10.are meant to giggle. Jo is trying to catch up with a man

:55:11. > :55:14.walking every street in New York. And Tommy has a suitcase that

:55:15. > :55:17.charges his phone, and tells It is a bit like travelling with my

:55:18. > :55:28.wife, except without the arguments. The ninja, a mysterious

:55:29. > :55:54.undercover agent in feudal Japan. Skilled in espionage

:55:55. > :55:55.and assassination, Far from hiding in the dark,

:55:56. > :56:04.the next generation Full-time, central Japan,

:56:05. > :56:14.salary around $US1,600 a month. Hundreds of people applied

:56:15. > :56:17.and auditioned for the jobs, It is part

:56:18. > :56:29.of a mighty tourism push before the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, to bring

:56:30. > :56:32.in more tourists to the region, and in particular the city of Nagoya,

:56:33. > :56:36.which visitors often pass by. TRANSLATION: The aim

:56:37. > :56:38.of this is to bring in We have brought in ninjas

:56:39. > :56:44.because they have a historical They will perform, and they

:56:45. > :56:55.will mix with the tourists. And these are some

:56:56. > :56:58.of the chosen few, the new ninjas. I think it is every foreign

:56:59. > :57:13.kid's dream at one point. Every kid,

:57:14. > :57:15.every kid dreams about becoming a For me, I just held onto that dream

:57:16. > :57:23.a little longer than most people. And I know you have just started,

:57:24. > :57:26.but what is it I thought I could come to Japan,

:57:27. > :57:33.find a ninja clan, become a ninja, But it is a constant progression

:57:34. > :57:37.of learning, of studying, We have been allowed

:57:38. > :57:51.in to watch the ninjas train. There is also

:57:52. > :58:14.a history to be learned. It will be an intensive month,

:58:15. > :58:17.ahead of this modern-day ninja It is only a training session,

:58:18. > :58:21.but there is already a lot And for me, it feels

:58:22. > :58:25.like there is a reality TV or talent But not everyone is buying

:58:26. > :58:28.into the hype. Some purists are worried that this

:58:29. > :58:31.sort of campaign is sending a distorted image of the Japanese

:58:32. > :58:37.icon to the rest of the world. TRANSLATION: The main thing

:58:38. > :58:40.about ninjas is the mental side, In the entertainment industry,

:58:41. > :59:07.the physical side is exaggerated, I would rather other people see what

:59:08. > :59:14.real ninjas do, and then decide Back in Nagoya,

:59:15. > :59:19.the region's seven newest ninjas are training at the castle, and they are

:59:20. > :59:21.already drawing in the crowds. But how close is this to the

:59:22. > :59:26.revered life of the ninja of old? Two hours from Nagoya,

:59:27. > :59:29.I have been told this is So hundreds of years ago,

:59:30. > :59:32.real-life ninjas trained So I have come to this ninja

:59:33. > :59:37.training camp, to try and get Iga Forest, or Ninja Forest,

:59:38. > :59:50.has been set up to cater to I might look the part, but can

:59:51. > :59:54.I cut it as a real-life ninja? To my relief, we started the day

:59:55. > :59:57.with some prayers and meditation. Then it was time to leave

:59:58. > :00:00.the safe surrounds of the temple, I don't want to fall flat

:00:01. > :00:28.on my face and embarrass myself. Time to say hello to

:00:29. > :00:30.the assistant chief ninja here. First I learn the art

:00:31. > :00:39.of the shuriken, or ninja star. TRANSLATION: Shuriken was a weapon

:00:40. > :00:42.that was only used as a last resort. They would put poison on

:00:43. > :00:59.the tips here, to kill the enemy. So you clench your fist,

:01:00. > :01:10.and then just between the thumb. This is actually more

:01:11. > :01:13.difficult than it looks. So the rope would help

:01:14. > :01:27.you get over the water? OK, I don't think ninjas

:01:28. > :01:59.are meant to giggle. And then, the skill

:02:00. > :02:08.of scaling walls undetected. You don't expect me to do that,

:02:09. > :02:10.do you? I wouldn't say it was easy,

:02:11. > :02:38.and I definitely didn't say it was OK, so this wall is

:02:39. > :02:49.definitely taller than me. Time to let go of any dreams I

:02:50. > :03:38.have of becoming a true ninja. Let's go to southern Spain, now, to

:03:39. > :03:41.meet a man whose skill with a knife could beat even the finest ninjas,

:03:42. > :03:44.and who has dedicated his life to The ham master is so important,

:03:45. > :05:45.because after five years working, in two hours you can break all this

:05:46. > :05:47.work. When you are a ham master,

:05:48. > :05:50.you are professional person that The kind of slice you have to cut,

:05:51. > :05:55.how to put in the blade, how to serve, is a very important

:05:56. > :07:02.moment in the life of a ham. Still to come on the

:07:03. > :07:05.Travel Show: Tommy is seeking out This week,

:07:06. > :07:19.a security camera that knows who is And Jo catches up with

:07:20. > :07:23.a man walking every inch The Travel Show, your essential

:07:24. > :07:38.guide, wherever you are heading. Welcome to another instalment,

:07:39. > :07:40.for all First up is a suitcase unlike any

:07:41. > :07:46.other I have come across, because the makers claim that this

:07:47. > :07:48.one can weigh itself, it has smartphone access, and will

:07:49. > :07:51.even send you a text message We have seen quite

:07:52. > :08:02.a few smart suitcases launched over the past year, and Floatti has now

:08:03. > :08:05.added itself to that list. It is loaded with hi-tech features,

:08:06. > :08:08.including a smart handle, which can There is a built-in charging dock,

:08:09. > :08:12.a digital weighing scale, And as you can imagine,

:08:13. > :08:24.with all that technology, it can be It has been really well thought-out,

:08:25. > :08:35.with you, the traveller in mind. This is the kind

:08:36. > :08:38.of case that communicates to you. It even tells you when it is

:08:39. > :08:41.a little bit the heavy side. It is a bit like travelling with my

:08:42. > :08:45.wife, except without the arguments. The number of home security

:08:46. > :08:49.remote surveillance equipment out Competition is really fierce

:08:50. > :08:53.but what that means for us is manufacturers are trying

:08:54. > :08:55.to find unique ways Here's one that not only tells

:08:56. > :09:01.you what is going on at home but you can also teach it to know who

:09:02. > :09:06.you'll friends and families are. It claims to give added peace

:09:07. > :09:09.of mind while you are travelling away thanks to

:09:10. > :09:12.its facial recognition technology. It offers a usual remote monitoring

:09:13. > :09:15.system and alerts you when anyone passes in front of the camera but

:09:16. > :09:21.the big sell here is it also claims to know if a familiar face has

:09:22. > :09:28.entered your home or a stranger. It does need a strong Wi-Fi

:09:29. > :09:31.connection and some people back at home may not like the idea

:09:32. > :09:34.of getting an alert every time they Although, I couldn't

:09:35. > :09:39.possibly imagine (LAUGHS). I really like the slick,

:09:40. > :09:41.non-obtrusive design of this. I mean, it does not look like a

:09:42. > :09:44.piece of home surveillance kit and already the way it can integrate

:09:45. > :09:47.into your life is changing. My advice is this, work out what it

:09:48. > :09:55.is you need from your home security and before you part with

:09:56. > :10:04.your money do your homework. We all know that nothing beats

:10:05. > :10:08.a good book when you are on your travels but carrying

:10:09. > :10:10.around an e-reader or a tablet is Well, that was the case

:10:11. > :10:18.until this came along. The new Kindle Oasis is

:10:19. > :10:20.a neat little e-reader. Its makers claim that

:10:21. > :10:22.its design is the biggest jump They say it's smaller,

:10:23. > :10:26.more ergonomically friendly, it's got far better battery life

:10:27. > :10:29.and the display is much brighter. At first glance it looks like you're

:10:30. > :10:32.just getting a mini e-reader 60% more LEDs, 30% thinner,

:10:33. > :10:44.20% lighter. You can really feel the difference

:10:45. > :10:47.when you take it away from This is significantly dearer

:10:48. > :10:52.than existing models. Who needs a BBC cameraman

:10:53. > :10:57.when I can even give you this? I bet your camera cannot do that,

:10:58. > :11:00.can it, hey? All of this without even moving

:11:01. > :11:06.my feet. It also captures stills

:11:07. > :11:10.and produces CD hand-held videos, giving your holiday home-movies

:11:11. > :11:14.the professional touch. Its makers that claim it is

:11:15. > :11:17.a step up from your regular action cameras and gives you TV-style

:11:18. > :11:22.footage without the big budget. Ergonomically, it is really

:11:23. > :11:25.well-designed and super easy to use. Mastering it will however take you

:11:26. > :11:27.a little bit longer The downside has to be

:11:28. > :11:36.the battery power - we're using so much of it on the Osmo and

:11:37. > :11:40.on my smartphone but think of the views you can capture - 360 degrees

:11:41. > :11:43.without having to spin on the spot. Which means I can save this move

:11:44. > :11:46.for the dancefloor. New York is home to some

:11:47. > :11:55.of the most iconic and photographed And those that visit will often have

:11:56. > :12:05.a checklist But what if you want to get under

:12:06. > :12:25.the skin of this enormous city? We sent Jo to meet the man that is

:12:26. > :12:28.a getting completely different We are here in Flushing,

:12:29. > :12:39.in New York, half-an-hour's drive from the main tourist attractions

:12:40. > :12:42.in the city and I'm here to meet someone who has taken sightseeing to

:12:43. > :12:49.whole new level. I'm trying to find Matt Green,

:12:50. > :12:54.the man who was made his mission to walk every street

:12:55. > :12:57.on this map of New York. Plotting his progress in red

:12:58. > :12:59.and photographing whatever catches He's been walking since

:13:00. > :13:05.New Year's Eve, 2011. But as he is constantly moving,

:13:06. > :13:08.it is proving difficult to catch up Don't worry,

:13:09. > :13:12.we will get back in the car! It is very suburban

:13:13. > :13:18.but hopefully he will be knocking So I can join you

:13:19. > :13:50.on your street walk today? Now that we have found him,

:13:51. > :13:54.the next challenge is filming I...working

:13:55. > :14:02.on this project every day, of it has kind of overtaken

:14:03. > :14:14.the walking part because I've gotten You really are walking every

:14:15. > :14:31.metre of this place, aren't you. Well,

:14:32. > :14:33.when I was drawing out the map, I was kind of, "I walk this block" if

:14:34. > :14:37.I really cut the corner, you know, I It's funny, when I finish a walk,

:14:38. > :14:43.and I go home, walking from the subway to the

:14:44. > :14:47.apartment, I still have it in my But I'm off the clock,

:14:48. > :14:56.I can walk like a normal person. In 2010, Matt quit his job as an

:14:57. > :14:59.engineer and walked across America, pushing a cart of his belongings

:15:00. > :15:02.and camping along the way. When he finished that walk,

:15:03. > :15:04.he decided that instead of seeing a million places

:15:05. > :15:07.for a minute each, he wanted to spend a million minutes exploring

:15:08. > :15:21.just one place - New York City. I want to go out and take photos

:15:22. > :15:24.of whatever catches my eye. To be open to different things

:15:25. > :15:27.and not think it this something Does this have historical

:15:28. > :15:37.merit or cultural importance? It gives me this very personal

:15:38. > :15:47.connection to the city. I do not know what

:15:48. > :15:58.the total will be. I take a photo

:15:59. > :16:07.of every 9/11 memorial I see, which is an interesting view to how

:16:08. > :16:09.people deal with grief How people physically expressed

:16:10. > :16:14.their grief and the kind I would have thought that initially,

:16:15. > :16:23.you would see more anger So that is just one little window

:16:24. > :16:28.into the millions of aspects of We finish the walk in the heart

:16:29. > :16:36.of Flushing's Chinatown. Most of the day we spent

:16:37. > :16:41.in this Flushing, You can see where the red lines are

:16:42. > :16:52.not is where I still have to walk. Mark reckons it will take him

:16:53. > :16:55.at least another year to achieve his goal of walking every single

:16:56. > :16:58.street in the city, by which time he thinks he would

:16:59. > :17:01.have covered more than 8000 miles. It is certainly not the speedy way

:17:02. > :17:04.to sightseeing but I cannot imagine A wonderful but exhausting

:17:05. > :17:14.way to see the Big Apple. That is all we have time

:17:15. > :17:20.for this week. Coming up next week: Chris is going

:17:21. > :17:23.deep underground in Hungary, I think I'm supposed to paddle

:17:24. > :17:29.the water and not the walls, I hope you can join us for that

:17:30. > :17:35.if you can. All details for social media are

:17:36. > :17:38.on the screen now. From me all the rest of the

:17:39. > :17:41.Travel Show team, here in Nagoya, Well, temperatures

:17:42. > :18:18.in the last few days have been up and down a little bit, but

:18:19. > :18:21.generally speaking, closer to what we would

:18:22. > :18:23.expect at the height of summer. But now there is some cooler

:18:24. > :18:25.and much fresher weather Friday is still going to be quite

:18:26. > :18:29.a warm day, particualrly But these northerly winds you can

:18:30. > :18:34.see here are going to introduce much fresher conditions to the northern

:18:35. > :18:37.half of the UK for Friday itself. So first thing in the morning

:18:38. > :18:39.on Friday, Still mild weather in the south,

:18:40. > :18:47.12-13. And that cold front, which you can

:18:48. > :18:51.see here, will be sinking southward That is the leading edge of

:18:52. > :18:56.the cooler air to the north of it. So let's start with Scotland,

:18:57. > :18:58.this is 4:00pm in the afternoon, you can see just how much lower

:18:59. > :19:01.these values are, Cooler along the North Sea coast,

:19:02. > :19:05.for sure, particularly in that breeze out

:19:06. > :19:08.of the north or the north-west. But we are still hanging on for a

:19:09. > :19:12.time to that warmer weather in the perhaps even touching 23-24 degrees

:19:13. > :19:16.in the south-west, and a chance Now, worth mentioning the high UV

:19:17. > :19:20.levels. The sun will be very strong

:19:21. > :19:22.on Friday. You can see how high the UV levels

:19:23. > :19:27.are across a large chunk of the UK. And even moderate there

:19:28. > :19:29.across parts of Scotland. So remember, you can burn

:19:30. > :19:31.regardless of what the temperature It is all to do with the strength of

:19:32. > :19:39.the sunshine and the clearer skies. Now, into Saturday, we are going

:19:40. > :19:42.to see that cold front reach So that means that on Saturday

:19:43. > :19:47.morning, dawn, you can see the temperatures really nippy across

:19:48. > :19:50.quite a large part of the UK. Down to freezing perhaps

:19:51. > :19:52.in rural spots, as far south as central parts of Britain,

:19:53. > :19:55.down into Wales, for example. On Saturday itself, at times it will

:19:56. > :19:57.be cloudy, particularly Overcast, I suspect, from time to

:19:58. > :20:03.time in coastal areas. Further west it should be brighter

:20:04. > :20:06.and fresh conditions, And how are we doing compared to

:20:07. > :20:11.the rest of Europe? Actually, Madrid won't be that

:20:12. > :20:13.much warmer, only 19 degrees. Quite a few downpours across many

:20:14. > :20:16.central areas of the continent, from the south-east of France, across

:20:17. > :20:19.the Alpine region and into eastern Back home, so this is Sunday, we

:20:20. > :20:25.still keep that northerly air It will feel particularly cooler

:20:26. > :20:30.along these North Sea coasts. The best and brightest

:20:31. > :20:32.of the weather will always be I think in London 16 on Sunday.

:20:33. > :20:41.Further north typically 11-12. It will be largely dry,

:20:42. > :20:46.fresh clear evenings but, as a result,

:20:47. > :22:09.it will be chilly overnight. Welcome to BBC News, broadcasting to

:41:38. > :41:40.The government says it plans to build a massive new waste

:41:41. > :41:50.Environmentalists say it can't come soon enough for at least one

:41:51. > :42:04.We have come down to the Ganges, and the hope was that we might be able

:42:05. > :42:05.to spot the incredibly rare Gangetic dolphin.

:42:06. > :42:08.Within minutes of arriving, I saw the dorsal fin of one

:42:09. > :42:13.The real challenge I think is going to be filming them.

:42:14. > :42:16.We have hired a little boat, this is it.

:42:17. > :42:17.And this is Sanjay, the cameraman.

:42:18. > :42:23.How difficult do you think it will be to film the dolphins?

:42:24. > :42:27.It is quite tough because they pop out suddenly.

:42:28. > :42:29.This is an expert on these dolphins, who works for the

:42:30. > :42:41.One of their programmes is to protect them.

:42:42. > :42:43.The Gangetic dolphin is an endangered species,

:42:44. > :42:56.But today, there seemed to be dolphins all around us.

:42:57. > :43:00.They have to surface every two minutes or so to breathe,

:43:01. > :43:06.the challenge is guessing where they are going to be.

:43:07. > :43:09.But after a bit, Sanjay gets his eye in, and then, just look at this.

:43:10. > :43:15.I never expected to see anything like as many dolphins

:43:16. > :43:21.And it is such incredibly good news, because what it tells us is that

:43:22. > :43:26.this river is capable of supporting these wonderful animals.

:43:27. > :43:30.And it also shows us what is at stake, why it is so important that

:43:31. > :43:40.the Indian government's efforts to clean up this river succeed.

:43:41. > :43:43.The US is taking China to the World Trade Organization over what

:43:44. > :43:46.it claims are illegal trade barriers to its chicken,

:43:47. > :43:53.Rarely eaten in the US, they often end up in animal food.

:43:54. > :43:57.But in China they are a delicacy, and the US is licking its lips over

:43:58. > :45:11.We can't continue to allow China to rape our country, and that's what

:45:12. > :45:16.they're doing. It's the greatest theft in the history of the world.

:45:17. > :45:18.In Florida, the Invictus Games have come to a close.

:45:19. > :45:21.They were founded by Prince Harry, to give wounded service personnel

:45:22. > :45:23.a chance to compete in different sports.

:45:24. > :45:26.An American athlete made headlines when she handed one of her gold

:45:27. > :45:29.medals back to the Prince, asking him to give it to the British

:45:30. > :45:43.For many here, this has been the week of their lives.

:45:44. > :45:45.They have often gone through the toughest of times, some getting

:45:46. > :45:51.Now they have competed with athletes from around the world.

:45:52. > :45:53.Lieutenant Kirsty Wallace broke her back while training

:45:54. > :46:00.The spirit of the Games are just amazing.

:46:01. > :46:03.Everybody's got smiles on their faces.

:46:04. > :46:05.There's the banter between all the different teams,

:46:06. > :46:07.getting to know the other countries, all the competitors.

:46:08. > :46:10.Prince Harry is such a huge ambassador for this event.

:46:11. > :46:13.The banter that he has between him and us, the team, is fantastic.

:46:14. > :46:18.He's willing to come up and give sweaty hugs at the end of a race.

:46:19. > :46:21.And Prince Harry, who served in the Army for ten years and came

:46:22. > :46:24.up with the idea of these Games, has been a huge presence here.

:46:25. > :46:27.Earlier this week, he was interviewed with American

:46:28. > :46:30.swimmer Elizabeth Marks, who at the first Invictus Games in London had

:46:31. > :46:38.They saved my life there, so I'm very grateful that it

:46:39. > :46:40.happened where it did, because they provided

:46:41. > :46:44.and things might not have gone as well had it been somewhere else.

:46:45. > :46:52.But when he did, after she won gold in the pool, she handed back

:46:53. > :46:55.the medal to Harry, telling him to give it to Papworth Hospital

:46:56. > :46:58.in Cambridgeshire, where she had her operation two years ago.

:46:59. > :47:02.Support for this year's event came from Olympic stars.

:47:03. > :47:08.The ability that the athletes that are here, that they have to inspire

:47:09. > :47:13.kids, but also the wider community, is a tremendous gift that they have.

:47:14. > :47:15.And this is when sport's at its very best.

:47:16. > :47:18.The hope is this also inspires other sick and injured soldiers

:47:19. > :47:20.everywhere, fighting their own personal battles.

:47:21. > :47:38.And the main international news: Brazil's acting president has urged

:47:39. > :47:46.the country to unite behind him as it emerges from political crisis. He

:47:47. > :47:51.has just replaced Dilma Rousseff, who has been impeached. She claimed

:47:52. > :47:55.a coup was under way. It is alleged she concealed the size of the Budget

:47:56. > :47:58.deficit to win an election. And you can get in touch with me

:47:59. > :48:09.and most of the team on Twitter. Well, temperatures

:48:10. > :48:12.in the last few days have been up and down a little bit, but generally

:48:13. > :48:15.speaking, closer to what we would But now there is some cooler

:48:16. > :48:22.and much fresher weather Friday is still going to be quite

:48:23. > :48:26.a warm day, particualrly But these northerly winds you can

:48:27. > :48:31.see here are going to introduce much fresher conditions to the northern

:48:32. > :48:34.half of the UK for Friday itself. So first thing in the morning

:48:35. > :48:36.on Friday, To still mild weather in the south,

:48:37. > :48:42.12-13. And that cold front, which you can

:48:43. > :48:46.see here, will be sinking southward That is the leading edge of

:48:47. > :48:52.the cooler air to the north of it. So let's start with Scotland, this

:48:53. > :48:56.is 4:00pm in the afternoon. You can see just how much lower these values

:48:57. > :49:00.are, 10 degrees in the lowlands. Still relatively mild in Belfast,

:49:01. > :49:01.15. Cooler along the North Sea coast,

:49:02. > :49:03.for sure, particularly in that breeze out

:49:04. > :49:06.of the north or the north-west. But we are still hanging on

:49:07. > :49:09.for a time to that warmer weather In fact, well into the 20s,

:49:10. > :49:13.perhaps even touching 23-24 degrees in the south-west, and a chance

:49:14. > :49:16.of a shower from that heat too. Now, worth mentioning the high UV

:49:17. > :49:18.levels. The sun will be very strong

:49:19. > :49:20.on Friday. You can see how high

:49:21. > :49:24.the UV levels are across a large chunk of the UK, and even moderate

:49:25. > :49:27.there across parts of Scotland. So remember, you can burn regardless

:49:28. > :49:30.of what the temperature is. It is all to do with the strength of

:49:31. > :49:33.the sunshine and the clearer skies. Now, into Saturday, we are going

:49:34. > :49:36.to see that cold front reach So that means that on Saturday

:49:37. > :49:46.morning, dawn, you can see the temperatures really nippy across

:49:47. > :49:48.quite a large part of the UK. Down to freezing perhaps

:49:49. > :49:51.in rural spots, as far south as central parts of Britain,

:49:52. > :49:53.down into Wales, for example. On Saturday itself, at times it will

:49:54. > :49:56.be cloudy, particularly Overcast, I suspect, from time to

:49:57. > :50:00.time in coastal areas particularly. Further west it should be brighter

:50:01. > :50:02.and fresh conditions, And how are we doing compared to

:50:03. > :50:07.the rest of Europe? Well, actually, Madrid won't be that

:50:08. > :50:11.much warmer, only 19 degrees. And actually quite a few downpours

:50:12. > :50:14.across many central areas of the continent, from

:50:15. > :50:17.the south-east of France, across Back home now, so this is Sunday,

:50:18. > :50:24.we still keep that northerly air It will feel particularly cool

:50:25. > :50:29.along these North Sea coasts. The best and the brightest

:50:30. > :50:32.of the weather will always be It will be a largely dry and

:50:33. > :50:47.fresh weekend, with some fine days, clear evenings but, as a result,

:50:48. > :51:55.it will be chilly overnight. Brazil's acting president,

:51:56. > :52:01.Michel Temer, has urged the country to unite behind him as

:52:02. > :52:05.it emerges from political crisis. He's just replaced Dilma Rousseff,

:52:06. > :52:08.who's been suspended and now faces Mr Temer, who used to be her

:52:09. > :52:13.vice-president, said Brazil must rebuild its credibility

:52:14. > :52:19.and get the economy growing again. Senior Republicans appear to have

:52:20. > :52:21.made their peace with the US presidential election frontrunner

:52:22. > :52:24.Donald Trump - but there's NO word The most senior elected Republican,

:52:25. > :52:30.Paul Ryan, said in spite of their differences he was "encouraged"

:52:31. > :52:35.by a productive conversation. The US Navy has fired the commander

:52:36. > :52:38.of the ten American sailors captured The sailors strayed off course

:52:39. > :52:47.in the Gulf and were held and A US Navy official said

:52:48. > :52:51.the commander failed to provide Welcome to HARDtalk,

:52:52. > :53:06.I'm Stephen Sackur. My guest today is

:53:07. > :53:08.a hugely influential contemporary music maker, once styled

:53:09. > :53:10.the brainiest man in pop. Except the word

:53:11. > :53:13." pop" doesn't fit Brian Eno. He was a member of Roxy Music

:53:14. > :53:15.in the early 70s, but he went his own way, developing

:53:16. > :53:23.ambient music, audiovisual installations and collaborating with

:53:24. > :53:25.a host of big names, His output has been prolific

:53:26. > :53:38.and varied, but what is he - musician, composer or

:53:39. > :53:40.an artist impossible to label? You have got a body of work,

:53:41. > :54:16.musical creativity that spans almost And yet you have

:54:17. > :54:20.in the past described yourself When I started using that term,

:54:21. > :54:32.I had appeared at a point where there was a huge

:54:33. > :54:35.stress on musicianship, and there were bands playing, very things with

:54:36. > :54:38.their backs turned to the audience. I didn't come into music from that

:54:39. > :54:42.route, I did not come into music from learning an instrument and then

:54:43. > :54:45.standing up and writing songs on it. I came out of painting,

:54:46. > :54:52.that is what I studied. I realised that contemporary music,

:54:53. > :54:54.contemporary studio practice in particular, was really a way

:54:55. > :54:56.of painting with sound. It was quite a natural

:54:57. > :54:59.transition to move into music. Plus, at that point,

:55:00. > :55:01.you had recording studios, a whole set of new instruments,

:55:02. > :55:13.electric instruments. You still had to have some basic

:55:14. > :55:16.musicianship to begin with, I very poorly play the guitar,

:55:17. > :55:21.and keyboards. But most of

:55:22. > :55:32.the people I know can't read music. It is fascinating to think of you

:55:33. > :55:40.seeing music as meeting painting and Can you explain to me more

:55:41. > :55:44.about that sensibility, When you are creating a sound,

:55:45. > :55:54.are you seeing it? And I'm thinking in sort

:55:55. > :55:57.of pictorial or sculptural terms, Thinking of a musical space of some

:55:58. > :56:03.kind, and what populates that space. I'm not usually thinking

:56:04. > :56:06.in terms of, this is in A Minor and that is a G Sharp, and I don't

:56:07. > :56:10.know what these things mean. I am just thinking back to the

:56:11. > :56:25.beginning, I know you often say, I don't like to look back, but I can

:56:26. > :56:29.still picture you in Roxy Music with the long hair, alongside Bryan Ferry

:56:30. > :56:32.and the others, playing music. Do you not believe

:56:33. > :56:39.in performing any more? I don't particularly

:56:40. > :56:41.like doing it myself. Most of what I do

:56:42. > :56:44.in a recording studio, it is quite It is a little like asking a painter

:56:45. > :56:50.to do a picture on stage for you. It is not a performance art,

:56:51. > :56:52.painting. And what I do isn't really

:56:53. > :56:54.a performance art. I make music in

:56:55. > :56:56.the way someone paints a picture. I add things, take things away,

:56:57. > :56:59.stretch them very much I tell you what, let's begin

:57:00. > :57:16.by actually listening to you, the You have an album out,

:57:17. > :57:19.called The Ship. Let's get a flavour

:57:20. > :57:28.of what you are doing. Is that what most

:57:29. > :57:48.of us would now know as ambient Ambient is

:57:49. > :58:06.a word that I came up with. I cannot really say I invented

:58:07. > :58:10.the music, more and more people had been trying to work in an area of,

:58:11. > :58:13.sort of, spacious, environmental type of music,

:58:14. > :58:15.I gave the movement a name, really. I can't claim that I invented

:58:16. > :58:19.the music, but I did identify it Listening to it, the features

:58:20. > :58:28.of it that struck me are... It's the sort

:58:29. > :58:31.of music that doesn't really seem to One gets the feeling you could

:58:32. > :58:37.listen to it and then sort of zone out for a bit and pick it up

:58:38. > :58:41.again, is that the idea of it? You don't sit and look

:58:42. > :58:48.at the painting all You can do something else

:58:49. > :58:51.and turn away. The picture is always there

:58:52. > :58:54.but your attention is not always I wanted to make the kind

:58:55. > :59:02.of music that operated more like that, that did not demand

:59:03. > :59:06.continuous, focused attention. But in a sense, I have never before

:59:07. > :59:09.come across a musician who, if that is what you call yourself, and you

:59:10. > :59:12.debate that, somebody who creates a sound, that says, I create this

:59:13. > :59:15.sound deliberately with the idea that people often won't

:59:16. > :59:19.really be listening to it. If you don't mind me saying,

:59:20. > :59:23.that sounds absurd. Why bother if you don't

:59:24. > :59:26.really want them to listen? When they do listen it

:59:27. > :59:28.is very rewarding. That is different with what is

:59:29. > :59:31.happening with muzak, which is when you do start listening

:59:32. > :59:34.to it, there is not much happening. Isn't that what a lot

:59:35. > :59:41.of your critics claim you have been The album titles themselves are an

:59:42. > :59:58.indication of what you are about. One of your earlier -

:59:59. > :00:00.early ambient albums, Music For Airports, indicates you

:00:01. > :00:02.wrote something that you think would be suitable for people rushing

:00:03. > :00:05.from A to B, catching a flight, and your music could help them

:00:06. > :00:18.destress, calm down, I don't know. Even that, even worse than muzak,

:00:19. > :00:27.elevator music. I don't think there is anything

:00:28. > :00:30.particularly wrong with having music in elevators or airports,

:00:31. > :00:33.but I still think it is something When that idea appeared

:00:34. > :00:37.of elevator music, people just took already quite bad music

:00:38. > :00:39.and made it a little bit worse. I thought, what about taking this

:00:40. > :00:49.job seriously, just like, you know, you can have people just paint

:00:50. > :00:52.their wall with any old colour they want, or you can have people who

:00:53. > :00:55.think about it, interior designers, they're called, who think about, how

:00:56. > :00:59.could we make this really work well. What I am saying is, we use music in
