:00:00. > :00:08.Hello, this is Breakfast, with John Maguire and Sian Lloyd.

:00:09. > :00:12.A woman has killed and more than 30 people are injured in violence

:00:13. > :00:14.at a white nationalist rally in the United States.

:00:15. > :00:17.A car is driven into a crowd of anti-fascist protestors,

:00:18. > :00:25.following a day of clashes in Charlottesville, Virginia.

:00:26. > :00:44.Go home. You are not wanted in this great Commonwealth. Shame on you.

:00:45. > :00:48.Good morning, it is Sunday 13 August.

:00:49. > :00:50.Also ahead: Ecstasy and agony at the World Athletics

:00:51. > :00:57.Great Britain's men claim the 4x100m relay gold,

:00:58. > :01:03.but Usain Bolt pulls up in his last race on the world stage.

:01:04. > :01:06.It didn't go to plan for Sir Mo Farah, either,

:01:07. > :01:13.In his last major race on the track, he is beaten into second place

:01:14. > :01:22.And it has been clear enough for many to be able to see

:01:23. > :01:25.the Perseid meteor shower lighting up the sky overnight.

:01:26. > :01:32.Philip can tell us if it is going to stay clear on Sunday.

:01:33. > :01:39.Hello, very good morning to you. It is quite a cool start to the day,

:01:40. > :01:42.but I think it is going to be a very pleasant day across many parts of

:01:43. > :01:44.the British Isles. One or two showers in the mix. More details in

:01:45. > :01:46.15 minutes. First, our main story: White

:01:47. > :01:50.supremacists have been told to go home by the Governor of Virginia,

:01:51. > :01:53.after one person was killed during violent protests,

:01:54. > :01:55.when a car was driven Overnight, a 20-year-old man

:01:56. > :01:59.from Ohio was arrested More than 30 people have been

:02:00. > :02:16.injured at the protests, This is what you represent! Hate on

:02:17. > :02:22.the streets of this southern American city. Chaos and violence

:02:23. > :02:27.erupted after a planned protest by white nationalists. The day started

:02:28. > :02:32.in a tense stand-off, as the group was surrounded by antiracism

:02:33. > :02:38.activists. It then erupted into taunting, shoving, and outright

:02:39. > :02:42.brawling. This has been declared an unlawful assembly... The rally was

:02:43. > :02:48.cancelled before it even began. The police took back streets. The crowd

:02:49. > :02:58.dispersed. Then this. Our car ploughs through protesters. One

:02:59. > :03:02.person was killed. A state of emergency has been declared in

:03:03. > :03:08.Charlottesville, and a curfew is in place. Later, a police helicopter

:03:09. > :03:12.crash near a golf course, leaving two officers dead. It appeared to

:03:13. > :03:17.have been monitoring the protests. The US President said the violence

:03:18. > :03:23.is not just one-sided. We condemn in the strongest possible terms this

:03:24. > :03:30.egregious display of hatred, bigotry, and violence, on many

:03:31. > :03:34.sides. On many sides. But many, even within his own party, feel those

:03:35. > :03:36.words were not enough. Senator Cory Gartner directly addressed Donald

:03:37. > :03:50.Trump. The governor of Virginia had this to

:03:51. > :03:56.say to those who came to the city. And I have a message to all the

:03:57. > :03:59.white supremacists and the Nazis who came into Charlottesville today. Our

:04:00. > :04:07.message is plain and simple. Go home. The day of violence ended with

:04:08. > :04:09.a vigil for the victims. As many reflect on a city and nation

:04:10. > :04:20.divided. Al apology is therefore a brief

:04:21. > :04:24.interruption during that report on BBC One, but we will be speaking to

:04:25. > :04:28.a local newspaper reporter and giving much more on that story. We

:04:29. > :04:31.will be speaking to him in around ten minutes' time.

:04:32. > :04:35.It was a night of drama at the World Athletics Championships in London.

:04:36. > :04:37.Britain's men took gold in the 4x100m relay,

:04:38. > :04:40.while, to the surprise of those watching, Usain Bolt pulled up

:04:41. > :04:43.with an injury in his final race on the international stage.

:04:44. > :04:46.Earlier, Sir Mo Farah was beaten into second place in the final

:04:47. > :04:56.Our sports news correspondent Andy Swiss was watching.

:04:57. > :05:02.Rally has a single race encapsulated so many emotions. As the British

:05:03. > :05:08.relay team celebrated a dazzling win, Usain Bolt's career ended in

:05:09. > :05:14.calamity. It is Britain out in front. Usain Bolt's Jamaica were the

:05:15. > :05:19.defending champions but it was Britain who left the way -- led the

:05:20. > :05:26.way, and as they sprinted to glory, Bolt's Chase was cut agonisingly

:05:27. > :05:31.short. As Britain's stunning gold sunk in, Usain Bolt was on his back.

:05:32. > :05:36.Hardly the fairytale finish his career deserved. Eventually he was

:05:37. > :05:41.able to hobble away, but it was the saddest end to his swansong. For the

:05:42. > :05:46.British team, though, up picture of perfection. One of the fastest times

:05:47. > :05:51.ever on one of the biggest stages. We are world champions, it is crazy

:05:52. > :05:55.to think. We are so grateful to be in this team, and especially to run

:05:56. > :05:59.with Danny. We have some not so nice memories from 2012 in terms of the

:06:00. > :06:03.relay, and to run at how we ran today, we couldn't have done it

:06:04. > :06:07.without the support of the team. The crowd he has been fantastic. We just

:06:08. > :06:11.wanted to say thank you so much to everyone watching, and we did it.

:06:12. > :06:17.And they are in a position to challenge for the metal. Quite a run

:06:18. > :06:21.for Jamaica so far! And the women's team took silver. On a night when

:06:22. > :06:27.the relay team give them plenty to cheer. Great Britain and Northern

:06:28. > :06:32.Ireland and Jamaica. Silver medal for Great Britain, gold for the

:06:33. > :06:37.United States. He is going to take the gold medal. It is going to be

:06:38. > :06:42.Ethiopia at last. Mo Farah, thanks for the silver. There was also

:06:43. > :06:48.disappointment, no golden goodbye for Sir Mo Farah, having to settle

:06:49. > :06:51.for silver in his final race at a World Championships. It has been

:06:52. > :06:54.incredible, and a dozen had back until you actually compete here and

:06:55. > :06:59.finally, after crossing the line and having a couple of minutes to

:07:00. > :07:05.myself, realised this is it. So a case of agony for some but ecstasy

:07:06. > :07:10.for others. A night as unpredictable as it was unforgettable.

:07:11. > :07:19.It sounds like a night of high drama.

:07:20. > :07:27.what a night. Exactly, what an evening of absolute drama. I was

:07:28. > :07:31.lucky enough to be in that stadium last night, and the atmosphere was

:07:32. > :07:36.absolutely electric. I think my ears are still ringing, and my voice is a

:07:37. > :07:40.little croaky from cheering on all the athletes last night. It was just

:07:41. > :07:46.incredible. Even in the morning session, very, very busy. It will be

:07:47. > :07:49.the busiest session we have had so far at these World Championships.

:07:50. > :07:53.All the fans flocked into the stadium to get that glimpse of the

:07:54. > :07:56.legend, Usain Bolt, as he was running in the four x 100-metre

:07:57. > :08:01.heat. And in the evening this really was the hottest ticket in town. Just

:08:02. > :08:05.incredible. Around 80,000 fans screaming, shouting, on their feet,

:08:06. > :08:10.waving their flags, all for the athletes on this track. It was just

:08:11. > :08:13.fantastic and I wonder if anyone has actually measure the sound levels in

:08:14. > :08:18.this stadium when it really begins to get going, because it is just a

:08:19. > :08:22.cacophony of sound. The ghillie on the home straight, as you can see

:08:23. > :08:26.behind me. It was just incredible, the crowd really roaring on the

:08:27. > :08:29.athletes to bring them across the finish line. And all of the

:08:30. > :08:33.medallists, all of the British medallists last night, Sir Mo Farah

:08:34. > :08:39.and both of the relay teams, mention the crowd, and it seems to have

:08:40. > :08:43.worked. Three medals in the bag last night for the Great Britain team.

:08:44. > :08:45.High drama throughout. Lots more from you later on this morning.

:08:46. > :08:48.Thank you very much indeed. After 8:00am, we are hoping

:08:49. > :08:51.to speak to Sir Mo Farah, and those medal-winning

:08:52. > :08:53.GB relay teams. Two ministers who previously

:08:54. > :08:55.expressed opposing views on Brexit have written a joint

:08:56. > :08:57.newspaper article clarifying Writing in the Sunday Telegraph,

:08:58. > :09:06.Philip Hammond and Liam Fox confirm there will be a transition period

:09:07. > :09:08.to help businesses adjust, but it will only last

:09:09. > :09:12.for a limited period of time. Their comments are being seen

:09:13. > :09:15.as an attempt to show unity between rival sides

:09:16. > :09:23.in Theresa May's Cabinet. CCTV footage has emerged

:09:24. > :09:26.of the moment a house was destroyed A woman was inside the semi-detached

:09:27. > :09:33.house in Sunderland when the blast took place on Friday morning,

:09:34. > :09:36.but survived with minor injuries. It is understood that she was

:09:37. > :09:39.protected from the blast by a fridge Learner drivers are to be allowed

:09:40. > :09:44.on to motorways in England, Scotland and Wales for the first

:09:45. > :09:47.time from next year. The Department for Transport said

:09:48. > :09:50.lessons must be in a dual-control car with an approved

:09:51. > :09:51.driving instructor. More details now from our

:09:52. > :10:08.correspondent Tom Burridge. Learning to drive. Something many of

:10:09. > :10:14.us remember doing, mainly in quiet suburban areas. But from next year,

:10:15. > :10:18.learners will be allowed onto our motorways. The government says it

:10:19. > :10:24.will make us safer, occurs when people passed their test, they will

:10:25. > :10:28.all already have experienced of our biggest and fastest roads. It is a

:10:29. > :10:32.good idea, because normally as they are getting towards the end of their

:10:33. > :10:38.driving test, I think it is a good idea. If they are well supervised,

:10:39. > :10:42.obviously. We are looking for people who already know how to drive.

:10:43. > :10:47.Mainly new drivers, they still cause problems. But when we talk about

:10:48. > :10:51.people, about learners, that would be chaotic, and I don't think it is

:10:52. > :10:55.the right idea. Learners will only be allowed onto a motorway with an

:10:56. > :10:59.approved driving instructor, and only in a car weather front

:11:00. > :11:03.passenger has petals as well. Road safety groups and the agency that

:11:04. > :11:08.represents driving instructors have all welcomed the move. Driving on a

:11:09. > :11:12.motorway will not initially become part of the practical driving test.

:11:13. > :11:17.Learners will be that just during training. One aim is to reduce the

:11:18. > :11:18.disproportionate number of young people killed and seriously injured

:11:19. > :11:21.on our roads. The Perseid meteor shower has been

:11:22. > :11:24.seen over parts of the UK, giving stargazers the opportunity

:11:25. > :11:27.to spot scores of shooting stars The shower was due to peak

:11:28. > :11:34.in the UK on Saturday night, in a display also visible

:11:35. > :11:37.in other parts of the world. Stargazers took to social media

:11:38. > :11:40.to say they have seen the display, in which 100 meteors had

:11:41. > :11:48.been expected an hour. We will be talking about that later

:11:49. > :11:53.in the programme. So rad to get clear skies -- so rare.

:11:54. > :11:55.Far-right protesters who gathered in Charlottesville have been told

:11:56. > :11:59.to go home by the state's Governor, after a day of violence.

:12:00. > :12:02.One woman died after a car rammed into a crowd of people trying

:12:03. > :12:06.Chris Suarez works for the local newspaper, and joins us

:12:07. > :12:31.It is good to talk to you, Chris. Tell us what is the mood like

:12:32. > :12:36.Barratt moment. Can you repeat that? I didn't hear you so well. Chris,

:12:37. > :12:44.tell us a little bit about what the mood there is like at the moment.

:12:45. > :12:53.The mood, pretty sombre. It is... You know, I was driving around town

:12:54. > :13:00.trying to find people for the story this evening, I had heard rumours of

:13:01. > :13:04.a vigil which might be organised by the Black Lives Matter movement, on

:13:05. > :13:08.the grounds of the university in Charlottesville, it is the biggest

:13:09. > :13:15.industry in this city of 50,000 people. People say it is not much of

:13:16. > :13:20.a city without the university. But it was raining, I think a lot of

:13:21. > :13:29.people were really exhausted from the date and mostly decided to just

:13:30. > :13:35.go home. We are seeing some pictures that were taken earlier, during the

:13:36. > :13:39.protests that, and I understand that you were there today, as you are

:13:40. > :13:48.just telling us a bit about it. Can you explain what you saw? What I

:13:49. > :13:56.saw... This rally was supposed to take place from 12pm to 5pm in what

:13:57. > :14:02.is called Emancipation Park, which was renamed, previously named Lee

:14:03. > :14:15.Park for Confederate general Robert Ely, -- Robert E Lee, Confederate

:14:16. > :14:23.general in the American civil war. So I arrived at 9am in downtown

:14:24. > :14:27.Charlottesville, and you had these columns of different facets and

:14:28. > :14:33.white nationalist groups coming into this park. You know, police had

:14:34. > :14:43.already been deployed, and it got pretty nasty pretty fast between

:14:44. > :14:50.these anti fascist activists. A while to charge my phone at a cafe

:14:51. > :14:54.nearby, and I watched a live stream for a while while waiting for my

:14:55. > :14:57.phone to judge and there was a lot of violence already. They declared a

:14:58. > :15:04.state of emergency, or an unlawful assembly. So they had to take it to

:15:05. > :15:11.a Federal Court case this week to allow it in this park, and police

:15:12. > :15:16.came in, riot police came in, and made everyone leave. So by noon,

:15:17. > :15:21.when this rally was supposed to start, it was already being shut

:15:22. > :15:26.down and people were milling about. By 2pm, 3pm, everything kind of

:15:27. > :15:31.return to normal to some degree. There was still an air of tension.

:15:32. > :15:35.There was a police presence, National Guard, state police, local

:15:36. > :15:42.police everywhere in the city. So it was kind of frightening. And unreal,

:15:43. > :15:47.in some ways. And very briefly, can you give us any update on those who

:15:48. > :15:51.have died? We know that there was an incident with the car, and also a

:15:52. > :15:57.helicopter as well. But briefly, is there any update? I am not sure how

:15:58. > :16:02.much you have heard at this point, but yes, the woman had died, a car

:16:03. > :16:07.ran into a group of protesters on the pedestrian malt near the

:16:08. > :16:13.downtown area. In 19 were injured. I hadn't heard of any other fatalities

:16:14. > :16:18.-- pedestrian mall. And it is very bizarre, but the state police

:16:19. > :16:24.helicopter had crashed by around 5pm. The helicopter had been

:16:25. > :16:29.monitoring this rally, and the police haven't really said much.

:16:30. > :16:42.Thank you very much. Here's Phillip with a look

:16:43. > :16:55.at this morning's weather. How are you? Well rested. Our

:16:56. > :16:59.viewers were probably up catching amazing scene like this. This is a

:17:00. > :17:05.slice of the action over the Isle of Wight. It was quite a chilly start.

:17:06. > :17:11.Nowhere more so than Northern Ireland. You will notice many of the

:17:12. > :17:16.towns and cities are down into single figures. At least it equates

:17:17. > :17:20.to a glorious sunny start of the day the many locations across the

:17:21. > :17:24.British Isles. Not without the chance of a shower but at least we

:17:25. > :17:28.got rid of that more persistent rain which was a bit of a nuisance across

:17:29. > :17:34.the south-eastern quarter of Scotland. A sprinkling of showers to

:17:35. > :17:39.be had. One or two further south and as you move into Northern Ireland,

:17:40. > :17:43.maybe a passing shower but I suspect many of you will stay driver the

:17:44. > :17:47.greater part of the day and you can see -- you can see the extent of the

:17:48. > :17:54.dry weather. With the sunshine pouring through, not too much on the

:17:55. > :17:59.way of breeze. A great way to what has been a really interesting few

:18:00. > :18:03.days of athletics at the World Championships. I don't think the

:18:04. > :18:07.weather is going to get on the way. It's not too hot for the Premier

:18:08. > :18:15.league football is trotting out at St James's Park at Old Trafford

:18:16. > :18:20.later in the day. What about Monday? Not too many dry days in a row. The

:18:21. > :18:25.northern and western parts of the British Isles, the cloud and rain

:18:26. > :18:31.into many western parts as you see. Further east, that bit driver that

:18:32. > :18:38.bit longer. A high of around 24 degrees. Up towards 25 degrees in

:18:39. > :18:42.the south-east, East Anglia, all tied in with this set of front is

:18:43. > :18:48.easing their way. Quite a few showers. Some of them quite sharp.

:18:49. > :18:53.He might even hear a rumble of thunder. That is how we are going to

:18:54. > :18:57.deal with Tuesday. A bit of a lull in proceedings and we move into

:18:58. > :19:01.another rather unsettled spell of weather as that area of low pressure

:19:02. > :19:06.eventually closes into the western side of the British Isles as you

:19:07. > :19:10.move on to Wednesday. A bit of a mixed bag over the next few days.

:19:11. > :19:19.Some rain at times and in some warm sunshine. When Phillips says Monday

:19:20. > :19:22.is looking a bit mmm, you know we are in trouble.

:19:23. > :19:39.Now it's time for the Film Review with Jane Hill and James King.

:19:40. > :19:42.Hello and welcome to The Film Review on BBC News.

:19:43. > :19:45.To take us through this week's interesting cinema

:19:46. > :19:53.I've been watching Charlize Theron in a spy thriller that's 007

:19:54. > :20:05.From the Academy Awards to the afterlife, Oscar winner

:20:06. > :20:07.Casey Affleck returns under a sheet in A Ghost Story.

:20:08. > :20:10.And get ready to tap, clap and stomp your way

:20:11. > :20:21.through an uplifting new dance documentary, Step.

:20:22. > :20:24.Quite an eclectic mix this week, James.

:20:25. > :20:27.Let's start with the big blockbuster.

:20:28. > :20:30.Yes, Atomic Blonde, so Charlize Theron stars in this.

:20:31. > :20:33.It's a spy thriller directed by a guy called David Leitch.

:20:34. > :20:37.Previously he's worked on a movie called John Wick with Keanu Reeves,

:20:38. > :20:39.that was a big hit a couple of years back.

:20:40. > :20:41.There are similarities, they are both very stylish.

:20:42. > :20:48.Very violent, very polished, very cartoonish.

:20:49. > :20:54.But Atomic Blonde has some basis in real events because it is set

:20:55. > :20:57.in 1989 after the fall of the Berlin Wall.

:20:58. > :21:04.Charlize Theron is a spy sent there by the British government

:21:05. > :21:06.to track down a list of missing agents.

:21:07. > :21:14.So, is this your first time in Berlin?

:21:15. > :21:19.Well, it is a remarkable time to be here.

:21:20. > :21:21.Superb nightlife, marvellous restaurants.

:21:22. > :21:26.You must try the central cafe for a drink.

:21:27. > :21:37.You remember Mr Abramowitz, don't you?

:21:38. > :21:48.We can kind of guess what happens after that.

:21:49. > :21:51.It has been hard to find clips of any duration

:21:52. > :21:54.She's quite adept with her stilettos, is Charlize.

:21:55. > :21:59.However, I think there is some fun to be had with its ridiculousness.

:22:00. > :22:02.Firstly, Charlize Theron is great and there is a pairing

:22:03. > :22:08.that she has with James McAvoy, we didn't see it in that clip,

:22:09. > :22:12.but he's a fellow British agent in Berlin and he's crazy and over

:22:13. > :22:16.the top and she is ice cool and very measured so they have this great

:22:17. > :22:19.She's such a watchable actress, isn't she?

:22:20. > :22:23.Looks great in this, of course is an Oscar winner,

:22:24. > :22:27.I wouldn't say she particularly has to act that much in this,

:22:28. > :22:34.And the style is great, this industrial punk

:22:35. > :22:36.aesthetic to it, this pumping 1980s electro soundtrack.

:22:37. > :22:39.We can see a bit of action, the car chases and the fights

:22:40. > :22:46.With it being visually striking should it remind us of Pulp Fiction,

:22:47. > :22:49.is that what he's after, the slick look with the violence

:22:50. > :22:58.What it does not have that Pulp Fiction had

:22:59. > :23:04.It is easy to be snobbish and say the plot is flimsy and stretched.

:23:05. > :23:10.It means you can get away with quite a lot.

:23:11. > :23:14.I think it relishes its own silliness and pulpy quality.

:23:15. > :23:18.It acknowledges that and when a film is shameless about it it can get

:23:19. > :23:32.Is it a missed opportunity because the time period

:23:33. > :23:36.in which it is set, Berlin, such a great city, it could be

:23:37. > :23:41.A slightly missed opportunity but still worth seeing,

:23:42. > :23:44.a male fantasy of a female spy, I don't think many spies are six

:23:45. > :23:51.foot tall former models wandering around in stockings and suspenders.

:23:52. > :23:55.But there is just enough awareness for it to get away with it

:23:56. > :23:58.and I would happily watch another, that movie hasn't done really well

:23:59. > :24:03.but if there is a sequel I wouldn't complain.

:24:04. > :24:06.We move to something that could not be more different.

:24:07. > :24:09.I am intrigued that this was shot in secret, is it apocryphal

:24:10. > :24:12.that the director was so concerned about how it might end up

:24:13. > :24:21.that he thought, I just won't tell people I am making it.

:24:22. > :24:27.This is David Lowery, last year he moved into the mainstream

:24:28. > :24:32.because he made a film with Disney called Pete's Dragon,

:24:33. > :24:41.But that was out of character for him.

:24:42. > :24:47.He's much more of an independent, low budget film maker,

:24:48. > :24:51.This is a ghost story as the title suggests.

:24:52. > :24:55.Casey Affleck plays a recently deceased man who returns in spirit

:24:56. > :24:57.to his home to watch over his grieving

:24:58. > :25:01.He is still wearing the sheet that he had placed

:25:02. > :25:06.Talking about difficult clips to find, it is hard to show you any

:25:07. > :25:09.clips out of context because pacing and the rhythm of

:25:10. > :25:14.There are many takes were seemingly not much happens,

:25:15. > :25:26.There's probably more music than dialogue in it.

:25:27. > :25:30.It's even shot in the old 4x3 ratio, the square TV ratio to make it

:25:31. > :25:36.I can understand why David Lowery might want to keep it secret

:25:37. > :25:49.You have to take a bit of a leap of faith to get into its rhythm

:25:50. > :25:52.and slowness but when you do it is rewarding and a film about

:25:53. > :25:57.OK, I am a bit worried the trailer might put people off,

:25:58. > :26:05.People use the word 'feelgood' too much, to the point of redundancy

:26:06. > :26:08.but this is genuinely a feel good movie.

:26:09. > :26:11.A documentary about a girl's dance troupe, called The Lethal Ladies

:26:12. > :26:13.working out of a high school in inner-city Baltimore.

:26:14. > :26:16.The film focuses on three of the girl dancers in particular,

:26:17. > :26:21.Trying to break the cycle of poverty they come from and get out

:26:22. > :26:25.Very charismatic leads, the people in the film

:26:26. > :26:37.Actually, I'm going to make you watch me step.

:26:38. > :26:40.I'm going to get my step, it's going to get up in your grill.

:26:41. > :26:43.I'm going to take you by your neck and you're gonna

:26:44. > :26:50.That's what you're supposed to project, every time you get

:26:51. > :27:00.If you're not stepping on it, sit down, go home, good night.

:27:01. > :27:07.Stand to attention and give me that face.

:27:08. > :27:16.I like that teacher, I am not missing with her.

:27:17. > :27:24.She's brilliant, everyone is brilliant.

:27:25. > :27:28.It's uplifting because it does not scrimp on the hardships.

:27:29. > :27:31.These people that we focus on have had tough lives.

:27:32. > :27:34.There is a lot of anger and it's set among the backdrop

:27:35. > :27:37.of the Black Lives Matter movement and the female empowerment movement.

:27:38. > :27:42.That makes it all the more feel-good when the highs come along

:27:43. > :27:50.It's not really a film about stepping as a dance.

:27:51. > :27:53.If you don't know much about stepping, very popular

:27:54. > :27:59.in American colleges, but it's not about the technique

:28:00. > :28:03.Really it's a film about what dance means to people

:28:04. > :28:06.I'm really looking forward to that one.

:28:07. > :28:10.And for Best Out this week you have delighted me because it is a reissue

:28:11. > :28:14.and what a pleasure it was to watch this film so many years later.

:28:15. > :28:18.Re-released, a movie about playwright Joe Orton,

:28:19. > :28:20.rereleased for the 50th anniversary of his death, the film

:28:21. > :28:24.actually came out in 1987, so the film itself is 30 years old.

:28:25. > :28:27.Stephen Frears is the director, Alan Bennett is the writer,

:28:28. > :28:30.based on the diaries of Joe Orton, which we see in the movie.

:28:31. > :28:34.We see John Lahr who was the editor, played

:28:35. > :28:43.And then it flashes back to the life of Joe Orton.

:28:44. > :28:48.I am always reminded of a couple of things,

:28:49. > :28:51.first that time in the 80s when Gary Oldman and contemporaries

:28:52. > :28:55.like Daniel Day Lewis and Tim Roth were the angry young men of British

:28:56. > :28:56.cinema and the future of British cinema.

:28:57. > :28:59.Now Daniel Day Lewis has announced his retirement!

:29:00. > :29:01.And Gary Oldman will be playing Winston Churchill!

:29:02. > :29:06.Secondly, more importantly, what Alan Bennett did with this

:29:07. > :29:08.script is capture the whit and boisterousness that made

:29:09. > :29:11.Joe Orton such a great playwright in the 1960s.

:29:12. > :29:19.Gary Oldman great, Vanessa Redgrave, for me, it is Alfred Molina's movie.

:29:20. > :29:23.He plays Kenneth Halliwell, Orton's lover.

:29:24. > :29:27.They had an ultimately tragic and shocking relationship.

:29:28. > :29:34.But what is so striking, as you say, the film is 30 years

:29:35. > :29:41.old and it is a litany of wonderful actors because the mother of Orton

:29:42. > :29:45.is played by Julie Walters and his sister is played

:29:46. > :29:51.by Frances Barber, these people are part

:29:52. > :29:55.Alan Bennett has become even more part of the furniture.

:29:56. > :29:58.What he does brilliantly is give us movies that feel traditional

:29:59. > :30:01.but they are pretty out there when you look

:30:02. > :30:07.Raw, Belgian/French horror movie about a student who goes to vetinary

:30:08. > :30:12.college and discovers a cannibalistic tendencies.

:30:13. > :30:20.Determined to freak you out with the acting, performing

:30:21. > :30:24.It is like Carrie directed by Salvador Dali!

:30:25. > :30:31.James King, thanks for being with us and that's just

:30:32. > :30:52.Hello, this is Breakfast, with John Maguire and Sian Lloyd.

:30:53. > :30:54.Coming up before 7:00am, Philip will have the weather.

:30:55. > :30:57.But first, at 6:30am, a summary of this morning's main

:30:58. > :31:04.One person has died and more than 30 others have been injured after a day

:31:05. > :31:06.of violence between far-right protesters and anti-fascists

:31:07. > :31:11.A 20-year-old man from Ohio has been arrested after a car was driven

:31:12. > :31:14.into a group of people trying to prevent a white nationalist rally

:31:15. > :31:23.The BBC's Joel Gunter is there for us.

:31:24. > :31:42.So a lot of white nationalists, white supremacists, and various

:31:43. > :31:46.other so-called alt-right groups descended on Charlottesville, many

:31:47. > :31:52.arriving on Friday. Early on Saturday they gathered at

:31:53. > :31:59.Emancipation Park, formerly Lee Park Park, home to the statue of Robert E

:32:00. > :32:03.Lee which is at the heart of this tragedy. They were surrounded by

:32:04. > :32:08.antifascist protesters and there were violent skirmishes around

:32:09. > :32:14.Emancipation Park, and in the end National Guard in and dirt rally was

:32:15. > :32:20.over before it could begin -- the rally. We are hearing news of

:32:21. > :32:23.fatalities as well. In terms of what the police and National Guard tried

:32:24. > :32:28.to do, what were their tactics? Obviously to keep the sides apart,

:32:29. > :32:35.one assumes? Well, early on there was very little police intervention

:32:36. > :32:38.at Emancipation Park, where most of the violence was taking place on

:32:39. > :32:43.Saturday morning. The police that were they are largely stood back,

:32:44. > :32:46.until after a few hours a state of emergency was declared by the

:32:47. > :32:50.Virginia Governor and then the riot police and after that the National

:32:51. > :32:55.Guard started to move in. They pushed people out of that area

:32:56. > :32:59.around Emancipation Park, to the surrounding areas. There were

:33:00. > :33:04.sporadic skirmishes and violence and as you mentioned at the top, two

:33:05. > :33:09.locks away this fatal incident with a driver ploughing into the crowd.

:33:10. > :33:10.Thank you very much indeed for the latest from Charlottesville -- two

:33:11. > :33:12.blocks away. Two ministers who previously

:33:13. > :33:14.expressed opposing views on Brexit have written a joint

:33:15. > :33:16.newspaper article clarifying Writing in the Sunday Telegraph,

:33:17. > :33:20.Philip Hammond and Liam Fox confirm there will be a transition period

:33:21. > :33:23.to help businesses adjust, but it will only last

:33:24. > :33:26.for a limited period of time. Their comments are being seen

:33:27. > :33:29.as an attempt to show unity between rival sides

:33:30. > :33:40.in Theresa May's Cabinet. A Danish inventor who built

:33:41. > :33:42.the world's largest privately made submarine has appeared in court

:33:43. > :33:45.in Copenhagen charged with killing Peter Madsen, who is 46,

:33:46. > :33:48.has denied the manslaughter of the woman, who disappeared

:33:49. > :33:51.on Thursday after a trip CCTV footage has emerged

:33:52. > :34:03.of the moment a house was destroyed A woman was inside the semi-detached

:34:04. > :34:14.house in Sunderland when the blast took place on Friday morning,

:34:15. > :34:17.but survived with minor injuries. It is understood that she was

:34:18. > :34:20.protected from the blast by a fridge Learner drivers are to be allowed

:34:21. > :34:25.on to motorways in England, Scotland and Wales for the first

:34:26. > :34:28.time from next year. The Department for Transport said

:34:29. > :34:31.lessons must be in a dual-control car with an approved

:34:32. > :34:32.driving instructor. Road safety groups,

:34:33. > :34:35.as well as the agency that represents driving instructors,

:34:36. > :34:41.have welcomed the move. Shooting stars littered the sky last

:34:42. > :34:44.night, as the Perseid meteor shower 100 meteors were

:34:45. > :34:48.expected every hour. The Perseid meteor shower happens

:34:49. > :34:50.every July and August, as the earth passes debris

:34:51. > :35:09.from the Swift-Tuttle Comet. Did you see any when you woke up?

:35:10. > :35:17.Know, did you? My eyes only open about two minutes before six a.m..

:35:18. > :35:24.And the skies a bit cloudy, but you had plenty of high drama there last

:35:25. > :35:28.night. Exactly, what a night of drama. And actually, it was this

:35:29. > :35:42.time yesterday that we were hyping up the fact that Usain Bolt and Sir

:35:43. > :35:45.Mo Farah would be on the track. It was the British men in lane seven

:35:46. > :35:47.who won gold. After all the hype, both Usain Bolt

:35:48. > :35:50.and Sir Mo Farah missed out on the golden goodbye

:35:51. > :35:53.they were hoping for here News of Sir Mo's silver medal

:35:54. > :35:57.in a minute, but there was agony for Bolt, and sheer

:35:58. > :36:00.joy for Great Britain, The British team of CJ Ujah,

:36:01. > :36:04.Adam Gemili and Danny Talbot had put Nethaneel Mitchell-Blake

:36:05. > :36:06.in a fantastic position Bolt, who was running

:36:07. > :36:10.the anchor leg for Jamaica, pulled up injured,

:36:11. > :36:11.while Mitchell-Blake held off America's Christian Coleman to win

:36:12. > :36:14.Team GB's second gold The crowd erupted to celebrate

:36:15. > :36:17.a truly fantastic performance. We're world champions,

:36:18. > :36:19.it's crazy to think. Especially - I feel so grateful

:36:20. > :36:23.to be in this team, and especially We have some not-so-nice memories

:36:24. > :36:31.from 2012, in terms of the relay. And to come here and actually run

:36:32. > :36:34.it how we ran today, we couldn't have done it

:36:35. > :36:37.without the support of the team. We just wanted to say thank

:36:38. > :36:42.you so much to everyone watching, Joy for the British team,

:36:43. > :36:46.but it wasn't the end to Usain Bolt's track

:36:47. > :36:48.career that he wanted. His final-ever race ended with him

:36:49. > :36:52.crumpled in pain on the track. His career ended with eight Olympic

:36:53. > :36:55.golds, 11 World Championship golds We may never see his like again,

:36:56. > :36:59.but it wasn't the way Bolt would have wanted to end

:37:00. > :37:04.his glittering career. It wasn't quite the farewell

:37:05. > :37:07.to a major track championships either that Great Britain's Sir Mo

:37:08. > :37:10.Farah would have hoped for. The four-time Olympic champion

:37:11. > :37:13.will compete in a couple more track races, before switching

:37:14. > :37:15.to running marathons. But this was his last chance

:37:16. > :37:18.to win another gold medal, and he gave it everything

:37:19. > :37:20.in the 5,000m. But Ethiopia's Muktar Edris did

:37:21. > :37:22.what Farah usually does The Briton just didn't have

:37:23. > :37:26.enough left in his legs He signed off with a silver medal,

:37:27. > :37:51.and happy to share the moment It is very special. At the time they

:37:52. > :37:55.were in mum's tummy. And at the same time Rhianna has grown up. It

:37:56. > :37:59.doesn't hit until you compete here, and finally after crossing the line

:38:00. > :38:03.and having a couple of minutes to myself, realise this is it. The

:38:04. > :38:05.better man won on the day, but I gave it all. I didn't have a single

:38:06. > :38:11.bit left at the end. There was another silver medal

:38:12. > :38:15.for Team GB in the women's 4x100m relay, a thrilling run

:38:16. > :38:17.by the British quartet of Asha Philip, Desiree Henry,

:38:18. > :38:19.Dina Asher-Smith and Daryll Neita. The 100m world champion, Tori Bowie,

:38:20. > :38:23.anchored the USA to a gold medal. Jamaica were third, their only

:38:24. > :38:28.sprint medal of the championships. No such medal success for Britain

:38:29. > :38:31.in the high jump, though. Both Katarina Johnson-Thompson

:38:32. > :38:34.and Morgan Lake cleared 1.95m, but it was only good enough

:38:35. > :38:37.for them to finish in fifth Australia won their first medal

:38:38. > :38:44.of the Championships, in the women's 100m hurdles -

:38:45. > :38:47.Sally Pearson, returning to London, where she won gold in the 2012

:38:48. > :38:50.Olympics, becoming a world champion So much drama here at the athletics,

:38:51. > :39:01.but plenty going on in On the first weekend

:39:02. > :39:05.of the new season, defending champions Chelsea were beaten

:39:06. > :39:07.by Burnley, while newly promoted Huddersfield Town sit

:39:08. > :39:10.at the top of the table. Ben Croucher has the

:39:11. > :39:21.best of the action. So how many of you expected to be

:39:22. > :39:26.waking up with Huddersfield leading the Premier league this morning?

:39:27. > :39:31.Well, that is what you have got. No fluke either. A diamond display at

:39:32. > :39:35.Crystal Palace in their first top-flight game since 1972. 34

:39:36. > :39:41.Huddersfield, and a dream start to their Premier League chapter. For

:39:42. > :39:46.Burnley, there was delight, there was disbelief, and a deserved three

:39:47. > :39:50.points as well, stunning the champions in their own backyard.

:39:51. > :39:56.Three first half goals condemned nine man Chelsea to a brutal defeat.

:39:57. > :40:03.On the south coast, the Seagulls had soared into the Premier league, but

:40:04. > :40:08.Brighton's home game capsized. Aguero on target in a 2-0 win.

:40:09. > :40:12.Liverpool fans will have to keep their heads up. They were heading

:40:13. > :40:17.for victory, at an injury time equaliser salvaged a 3-3 draw. And

:40:18. > :40:24.that Goodison Park there was only one name on everyone's blips. It is

:40:25. > :40:28.Wayne Rooney! 13.5 years since his last competitive goal for Everton,

:40:29. > :40:35.Wayne Rooney scored the winner against Stoke. We know the name.

:40:36. > :40:37.Wayne Rooney! So here is a full list

:40:38. > :40:40.of yesterday's results. Everton winning 1-0,

:40:41. > :40:42.thanks to that Wayne Rooney goal, while West Brom beat

:40:43. > :40:45.Bournemouth by the same score. Southampton were held to a goalless

:40:46. > :40:50.draw by Swansea City. The big result in the Scottish

:40:51. > :40:53.Premiership was St Johnstone beating That result put them top

:40:54. > :40:58.of the table on goals scored, just ahead

:40:59. > :40:59.of champions Celtic. Elsewhere, there were wins

:41:00. > :41:01.for Hamilton, Hearts, And Kevin Kisner is leading

:41:02. > :41:11.the US PGA championship The American is looking

:41:12. > :41:19.to win his first Major title, and has

:41:20. > :41:21.a one-shot lead after three England's Paul Casey had

:41:22. > :41:28.a poor end to his day, dropping back to level-par,

:41:29. > :41:32.but remains the highest placed

:41:33. > :41:46.British player, And we will be speaking to all of

:41:47. > :41:52.the British medallists. It will be exciting. Stay tuned for that. We

:41:53. > :42:00.will be back with you later on. Looking forward to all those chats.

:42:01. > :42:03.Sir Mo Farah's silver medal from last night just adds

:42:04. > :42:07.Amongst his achievements, he's won four Olympic medals

:42:08. > :42:09.and he's broken records all over the world.

:42:10. > :42:12.His running potential was spotted at an early age by his PE teacher,

:42:13. > :42:26.It is lovely to have you on Breakfast this morning. We were

:42:27. > :42:33.willing him to gold and now that the dust has settled, how do you look

:42:34. > :42:36.back at his Silva? It was a fabulous performance. If you look back at

:42:37. > :42:45.what he had been through through the week, he is getting on a bit, not as

:42:46. > :42:49.old as me yet. But he was suffering from that 10,000 metres, and like he

:42:50. > :42:54.said, he gave absolutely everything. You couldn't fault his performance,

:42:55. > :42:59.really. And did you watch the race in the stadium? I was in the stadium

:43:00. > :43:03.with my eight-year-old son. With two laps to go he said I have a bad

:43:04. > :43:07.feeling about this. I said don't worry, it will be all right. And to

:43:08. > :43:13.be fair, it was all right. He had the Silva and had to back off that,

:43:14. > :43:18.but scores like that, there is always someone in your career who

:43:19. > :43:22.will do better than you, and unfortunately for Sir Mo Farah, that

:43:23. > :43:27.was last night. The atmosphere must have been electric. I watched it on

:43:28. > :43:31.TV and you got a sense of the atmosphere from that. You must be

:43:32. > :43:36.very proud of his achievements. Yes, I mean, incredibly proud. You might

:43:37. > :43:40.be able to hear that my voice is struggling a little bit. I wondered

:43:41. > :43:46.last night if I would be able to talk. What he has done is absolutely

:43:47. > :43:50.remarkable. From being a boy that was going to come over here at eight

:43:51. > :43:54.years of age with no endless language at all, and not an awful

:43:55. > :43:58.lot going for him in terms of the likelihood of doing anything

:43:59. > :44:02.academically, or anything at all, it is just a remarkable story. And it

:44:03. > :44:08.just shows that you should never give up on anybody. And, you know,

:44:09. > :44:12.hopefully everybody can reach their potential. And you played a part in

:44:13. > :44:17.helping him reach his potential, didn't you? How did you spot that at

:44:18. > :44:23.that early age, when he came over? How did you see what he was going to

:44:24. > :44:28.become? Spotting the running talent wasn't too difficult. It was pretty

:44:29. > :44:34.obvious. He kept winning races. The higher you would put him up in

:44:35. > :44:40.levels, he would win those races as well. The thing was finding ways to

:44:41. > :44:44.make sure that he became motivated by it and it wasn't long before we

:44:45. > :44:51.saw it was a real opportunity for him to do something different. And

:44:52. > :44:55.he really grabbed that opportunity, which was great to see. That is a

:44:56. > :45:00.big part of it, having the talent, but having the drive, and grabbing

:45:01. > :45:04.that opportunity, and being able to achieve and keep going at it. He

:45:05. > :45:07.said that this now is the end of one chapter, but he is going to be

:45:08. > :45:12.beginning another one with the marathon. How do you see him

:45:13. > :45:21.approaching that in taking that on, really? I don't think Mo knows

:45:22. > :45:24.another way to approach things, that is besides giving everything to it.

:45:25. > :45:28.If he can be successful in a marathon, there is no doubt he will

:45:29. > :45:32.be. With his work ethic, you can have as much talent as you like but

:45:33. > :45:36.if you don't work you are never going to be the best. And he knows

:45:37. > :45:41.that. He will give it his absolute or. And if it is possible, then I

:45:42. > :45:45.have no doubt whatsoever he will do it. Thank you very much for joining

:45:46. > :45:48.us this morning. It is great to have you on the programme, and get

:45:49. > :45:50.another cup of the mouth or your voice. I can imagine you were

:45:51. > :46:03.cheering a lot. We are going to go back to the

:46:04. > :46:09.stadium now. Look at that, doesn't it look fantastic. Blue skies there

:46:10. > :46:14.morning. So much athletics to reflect on the programme this

:46:15. > :46:22.morning. Nerve -- now we will pass over to fill it. We will hand on the

:46:23. > :46:29.baton. Oh, no. Yes. Good morning to you. Those clear skies helped if you

:46:30. > :46:33.work out and about looking at the Perseids last night. A superb

:46:34. > :46:40.picture here, capturing a slice of the action. We've gone on down to

:46:41. > :46:44.the Sussex coast. A chilly start. A number of locations well down into

:46:45. > :46:50.single figures but let's focus on the positives. That Sun will soon

:46:51. > :46:55.warm things up -- warm things up. It is not a wall-to-wall but certainly

:46:56. > :46:58.as we come into the northern half of the British Isles, you increase your

:46:59. > :47:03.chances of seeing passing showers across Scotland but even here, many

:47:04. > :47:07.areas could stay dry. Similar prospects into Northern Ireland.

:47:08. > :47:12.That is about as many as you are going to get across England and

:47:13. > :47:16.Wales. A dry day. I don't think many of you are going to get caught out.

:47:17. > :47:21.There may just be enough in the way of cloud across the high ground for

:47:22. > :47:27.a passing shower. Away from that, across the south-east, 23, 24. Just

:47:28. > :47:35.as we get on towards the evening, this will cool down a bit. At the

:47:36. > :47:42.Olympic Park, for the World Championships. Into Monday, if

:47:43. > :47:47.you're on holiday, the most of it. There is an active weather front

:47:48. > :47:53.coming in. When that pushes through, things will turn quite showery.

:47:54. > :47:59.Ahead of that, a pretty warm affair. Somebody could be looking at 24, 25.

:48:00. > :48:02.There is no escaping the fact that the response had to work their way

:48:03. > :48:09.across the British Isles. Tuesday could turn out to be a showery do.

:48:10. > :48:14.That little ridge of high pressure. We waste some of that overnight into

:48:15. > :48:22.Tuesday. More cloud and rain eventually piling in. That feature

:48:23. > :48:29.is going to be dominant across a good part of Britain. And indeed, on

:48:30. > :48:36.into Thursday. They could be a hint of the autumn word about it. A bit

:48:37. > :48:40.early for that, Philip. We don't want that yet.

:48:41. > :48:42.We'll be back with the headlines at seven o'clock.

:48:43. > :49:06.This month marks the 25th anniversary of the self checkout.

:49:07. > :49:10.The first one was installed in New York on 5 August,

:49:11. > :49:17.So what does its inventor, Doctor Howard Schneider,

:49:18. > :49:27.I hadn't gone shopping much, so I went to the supermarket

:49:28. > :49:35.And I started looking at people checking out,

:49:36. > :49:38.and my stopwatch went "Click, click" - it was a mechanical one.

:49:39. > :49:41.And, you know, I said wow, what a great environment.

:49:42. > :49:46.Good luck with any machine doing it, and I said, this would be a great,

:49:47. > :49:50.And then I started building a machine in my garage.

:49:51. > :49:53.I actually spent every cent I had on parts,

:49:54. > :49:57.See, I love self-service checkouts, but then I'm a control freak.

:49:58. > :50:03.Until they go wrong, at which point they become a right

:50:04. > :50:08.The technology in the machines now is less than it was 25 years ago,

:50:09. > :50:09.using 286 computers, using MS-DOS 3.3.

:50:10. > :50:13.I had better technology 25 years ago than what you see now,

:50:14. > :50:19.which is the reason for a lot of frustrations.

:50:20. > :50:23.Please remove item before continuing.

:50:24. > :50:26.So now people are thinking outside of the shopping basket,

:50:27. > :50:29.to try and update the self checkout and reduce the delays further.

:50:30. > :50:30.In Japan, Reggie Robo takes your basket and bags your

:50:31. > :50:38.The system, which was trialled at the beginning of the year,

:50:39. > :50:41.scans the RFID tags on all the items at the same time.

:50:42. > :50:48.Since December, the Amazon Go shop has been undergoing

:50:49. > :50:52.Once it is working, shoppers should be able to pick up their items

:50:53. > :50:56.Swedish cafe company Wheelys is working on a similar idea.

:50:57. > :51:03.Although this staff-less shop will even come to you.

:51:04. > :51:07.Here at Canary Wharf, in London, something less spectacular,

:51:08. > :51:12.but which seems to me more workable and more scalable.

:51:13. > :51:16.Grab and Go has been invented by Barclaycard.

:51:17. > :51:19.The app scans bar codes as you grab items off the shelf,

:51:20. > :51:35.Payment is taken from the card that is linked to the app,

:51:36. > :51:38.and the receipt is sent to the phone, so you don't have

:51:39. > :51:43.But, with all that grabbing and going, are you thinking

:51:44. > :51:47.In the future, if you're scanning things and then just putting it

:51:48. > :51:51.in your bag, and then just walking out, and all the doors are open,

:51:52. > :51:53.I can see more people stealing more stuff.

:51:54. > :51:59.So you can basically very easily pick up some item and then can walk

:52:00. > :52:03.out, but on the way you have CCTV, you have a man on the ground

:52:04. > :52:09.So it's no more secure than a self-scan checkout,

:52:10. > :52:12.but I do wonder how many people would just accidentally miss that

:52:13. > :52:15.barcode, and leave with a lot of unpaid stuff.

:52:16. > :52:17.Although, even here, technology might be able

:52:18. > :52:22.Supermarket giant Walmart has filed a patent to incorporate facial

:52:23. > :52:24.recognition, blood pressure and heart rate monitoring

:52:25. > :52:27.into its stores to try and understand customer

:52:28. > :52:31.It might improve customer service, but previous trials of the tech have

:52:32. > :52:40.been used to try to spot shoplifters, raising a few security

:52:41. > :52:44.In fact, just this week, the supermarket announced it is also

:52:45. > :52:47.trialling a scan-and-go solution, but this one relies on shop

:52:48. > :52:48.assistant approval before you can leave.

:52:49. > :52:52.In China, which is home to several unmanned stores like this one,

:52:53. > :52:55.you need your face to get in the front door in the first place.

:52:56. > :53:05.Like Barclaycard's Grab and Go, customers scan items

:53:06. > :53:08.using their phones, and they can even heat up their grub

:53:09. > :53:11.Speaking of heating things up, a similar Chinese idea,

:53:12. > :53:15.Bingo Box, ran into problems when one of its glass clad stores

:53:16. > :53:19.Now, as it was unmanned, it wasn't until customers began

:53:20. > :53:22.to complain that the sweltering temperatures were ruining the food

:53:23. > :53:30.It is now back up and running, and everything is cool.

:53:31. > :53:33.So it's not all plain sailing for these souped-up shops,

:53:34. > :53:36.and it will be a while before we buy our weekly groceries

:53:37. > :53:39.in the store without some form of human interaction or intervention.

:53:40. > :53:46.But, as our patience wears increasingly thin in this age

:53:47. > :53:48.of grabbing and going, it's no surprise that Bingo Box

:53:49. > :53:51.plans to open 5,000 more stores in the coming year.

:53:52. > :54:02.Premier League football starts again this weekend,

:54:03. > :54:04.which I'm reliably informed is important to some people.

:54:05. > :54:07.Seriously, though, fans will be excited to see what their club's

:54:08. > :54:13.But how do you know if a new player is going to be right for your team?

:54:14. > :54:21.Well, one company is using virtual reality to identify talent,

:54:22. > :54:23.and also help players to recover from injuries.

:54:24. > :54:30.I'm in Manchester, home of great football, to check out a small

:54:31. > :54:33.start-up that is joining up with Premier League clubs

:54:34. > :54:35.for an idea that's only eight months in the making.

:54:36. > :54:40.This VR system helps scouts recruit players by using statistics

:54:41. > :54:52.from virtual gameplay to decide whether or not the player would work

:54:53. > :54:59.But it separately is also being used to help injured players get back

:55:00. > :55:00.to full fitness, mentally and physically.

:55:01. > :55:04.You have injured players who will often spend anything

:55:05. > :55:07.from six months to ten months, years out of the game.

:55:08. > :55:14.And the scientists, the physios will work with them,

:55:15. > :55:17.but we do not know what they're going to do in a situation,

:55:18. > :55:30.what decisions they're going to make.

:55:31. > :55:33.Now, they can play games, as well as having the treatment,

:55:34. > :55:36.the movement is limited, but they can feel a part

:55:37. > :55:40.They are using an HTC5 headset, with the usual hand controllers

:55:41. > :55:43.And the kit is wireless, crucial for football drills.

:55:44. > :55:46.As well as this version, they are also working on one

:55:47. > :55:49.for goalies, which will require an extra pair of sensors.

:55:50. > :55:52.Several Premier League clubs are signing up to use the VR system,

:55:53. > :55:55.because it promises to bring players back from the bench faster.

:55:56. > :55:59.And the first question they ask - does it feel like a real ball?

:56:00. > :56:02.You do feel like you're really hitting the ball,

:56:03. > :56:06.I don't know if't is the sound, or the visuals,

:56:07. > :56:13.And I know people always use that word for VR,

:56:14. > :56:15.but it does feel as though you are hitting it.

:56:16. > :56:20.And because you are not, it's important players don't try too

:56:21. > :56:22.hard, and injure themselves even more, especially when they've cost

:56:23. > :56:27.Part of the problem is to make sure that they are not hyper-extending.

:56:28. > :56:44.We had a player last week who is not allowed to kick a physical ball.

:56:45. > :56:46.And the scientists, the physios will work with them,

:56:47. > :56:50.but we do not know what they're going to do in a situation,

:56:51. > :56:53.what decisions they're going to make.

:56:54. > :56:56.Now, they can play games, as well as having the treatment,

:56:57. > :56:59.the movement is limited, but they can feel a part

:57:00. > :57:07.The player, with his injury, he can't do it. It was basically a

:57:08. > :57:14.case, psychologically, it is massive.

:57:15. > :57:18.I am now in the rehab drill and there is a man to my left

:57:19. > :57:23.Now, I cannot do that, because my balance on these

:57:24. > :57:25.prosthetics just is not there, sorry, physios!

:57:26. > :57:28.But I can see how that would be very useful for injured players,

:57:29. > :57:30.but not just injured players, in hospitals.

:57:31. > :57:32.Players will complete a set of exercises and drills

:57:33. > :57:35.which will be scored, and their fitness can then be

:57:36. > :57:38.Elsewhere in the sport world, American football

:57:39. > :57:41.STRIVR there is a company out of Stanford University,

:57:42. > :57:44.currently working with seven NFL teams to allow players to practice

:57:45. > :57:46.anytime, anywhere, without the same physical tolls.

:57:47. > :57:49.And in the Netherlands, another VR company, Beyond Sports,

:57:50. > :57:52.has a contract with both Arsenal and Stoke City for match analysis

:57:53. > :57:56.But, back in the UK, a man who won Premier League titles

:57:57. > :58:06.as a player and coach with Manchester United thinks

:58:07. > :58:08.the new technology could really help.

:58:09. > :58:10.I think it benefits both amateur, professional and grassroots.

:58:11. > :58:18.You can put pressure into the situation.

:58:19. > :58:26.Football, possibly, have had a reluctance to use it,

:58:27. > :58:31.But the kit they are offering is not cheap, with packages starting

:58:32. > :58:33.at ?5,000, and increasing to more than ?20,000 a month.

:58:34. > :58:37.But the potential benefits of VR to the football clubs that can

:58:38. > :58:41.Coaches want to train and test footballers in the most effective

:58:42. > :58:45.way, by recreating the pressure and intensity of performing

:58:46. > :58:54.So what would the manager with the most Premier League titles

:58:55. > :58:56.under his belt, Sir Alex Ferguson, think about it?

:58:57. > :58:59.Do you think Fergie would have been up for it?

:59:00. > :59:10.He was open to all that sort of stuff, as long as it made a bit

:59:11. > :59:13.Or sometimes it's what people like, you know, players like it.

:59:14. > :59:21.Top clubs are big businesses, and the money in football is only

:59:22. > :59:26.And, as it does, teams will be looking for any way to improve.

:59:27. > :59:29.As you watch your team this weekend, remember that last-minute winner

:59:30. > :59:32.or fingertip save might be the result of some hard hours spent

:59:33. > :59:43.And that's it for the short cut of Click this week.

:59:44. > :59:45.The full version is waiting for you on iPlayer.

:59:46. > :59:49.Over the next couple of weeks, we are going to give you the chance

:59:50. > :59:53.to rewatch two of our favourite shows from the year so far -

:59:54. > :59:56.We'll be travelling across the country, to meet

:59:57. > :59:59.the people working hard to change lives, save lives,

:00:00. > :00:10.I hope you enjoy watching them as much as we enjoyed making them.

:00:11. > :00:13.Do not forget we are on Twitter and on Facebook.

:00:14. > :00:35.Thank you for watching, and we'll see you soon.

:00:36. > :00:38.Hello, this is Breakfast, with John Maguire and Sian Lloyd.

:00:39. > :00:42.A woman has killed and more than 30 people are injured in violence

:00:43. > :00:44.at a white nationalist rally in the United States.

:00:45. > :00:47.A car is driven into a crowd of anti-fascist protestors,

:00:48. > :00:54.following a day of clashes in Charlottesville, Virginia.

:00:55. > :00:58.You are not wanted in this great commonwealth.

:00:59. > :01:16.Good morning, it is Sunday 13 August.

:01:17. > :01:19.Also ahead: Ecstasy and agony at the World Athletics

:01:20. > :01:25.Great Britain's men claim the 4x100m relay gold,

:01:26. > :01:31.but Usain Bolt pulls up in his last race on the world stage.

:01:32. > :01:34.It didn't go to plan for Sir Mo Farah, either,

:01:35. > :01:41.In his last major race on the track, he is beaten into second place

:01:42. > :01:48.Learner drivers will be allowed to have lessons on motorways

:01:49. > :01:54.And it has been clear enough for many to be able to see

:01:55. > :01:59.the Perseid meteor shower lighting up the sky overnight.

:02:00. > :02:03.Philip can tell us if it is going to stay clear on Sunday.

:02:04. > :02:11.It is quite a cool start to the day, but I think it is going to be a very

:02:12. > :02:13.pleasant day across many parts of the British Isles.

:02:14. > :02:22.First, our main story: White supremacists have been told to go

:02:23. > :02:25.home by the Governor of Virginia, after one person was killed

:02:26. > :02:27.during violent protests, when a car was driven

:02:28. > :02:31.Overnight a 20-year-old man from Ohio was arrested

:02:32. > :02:35.More than 30 people have been injured at the protest.

:02:36. > :02:40.Laura Westbrook's report contains some disturbing images.

:02:41. > :02:48.Hate on the streets of this southern American city.

:02:49. > :02:53.Chaos and violence erupted after a planned protest

:02:54. > :02:58.The day started in a tense stand-off, as the group

:02:59. > :03:01.was surrounded by anti-racism activists.

:03:02. > :03:11.It then erupted into taunting, shoving, and outright brawling.

:03:12. > :03:14.This event has been declared an unlawful assembly...

:03:15. > :03:16.The rally was cancelled before it even began.

:03:17. > :03:31.A state of emergency has been declared in Charlottesville,

:03:32. > :03:38.Later, a police helicopter crashed near a golf course,

:03:39. > :03:45.It appeared to have been monitoring the protests.

:03:46. > :03:48.The US President said the violence is not just one-sided.

:03:49. > :03:50.We condemn, in the strongest possible terms, this egregious

:03:51. > :03:55.display of hatred, bigotry, and violence, on many sides.

:03:56. > :04:03.But many, even within his own party, feel those words were not enough.

:04:04. > :04:16.Senator Cory Gardner directly addressed Donald Trump.

:04:17. > :04:20.The Governor of Virginia had this to say to those who came

:04:21. > :04:25.And I have a message to all the white supremacists

:04:26. > :04:28.and the Nazis who came into Charlottesville today.

:04:29. > :04:37.The day of violence ended with a vigil for the victims,

:04:38. > :04:48.as many reflect on a city and nation divided.

:04:49. > :04:50.Two ministers who previously expressed opposing views on Brexit

:04:51. > :04:52.have written a joint newspaper article clarifying

:04:53. > :04:56.Writing in the Sunday Telegraph, Philip Hammond and Liam Fox confirm

:04:57. > :04:58.there will be a transition period to help businesses adjust.

:04:59. > :05:01.Our political reporter Jonathan Blake is in our London

:05:02. > :05:21.Good morning to you. It seems as if peace has broken out in the Cabinet.

:05:22. > :05:24.To a point, at least. You have two big beasts representing different

:05:25. > :05:28.views on different sides of the argument about Brexit, burying the

:05:29. > :05:33.hatchet, putting their differences aside and saying they are united, to

:05:34. > :05:38.appoint at least. Philip Hammond, the Chancellor, who campaigned to

:05:39. > :05:42.stay in the EU, and Liam Fox, the trade Secretary, one of the most

:05:43. > :05:47.enthusiastic Brexiteers, have put a couple of issues to bed, at least.

:05:48. > :05:50.On Britain leaving the EU they are clear we will leave the customs

:05:51. > :05:54.union and the single market, so no more free movement of goods and

:05:55. > :05:57.services once we leave the EU. And they will be a transition period

:05:58. > :06:02.after March 2019 so we don't all wake up on 31 March 2019 not knowing

:06:03. > :06:06.how to trade with other countries, not knowing what the travel

:06:07. > :06:10.arrangements, with no new system in place. The so-called cliff edge that

:06:11. > :06:15.many businesses have been worried about. But crucially, they are also

:06:16. > :06:19.saying that the transition will be time limited, so this is not away

:06:20. > :06:23.for the UK to stay in the EU the back door. Lots of details to be

:06:24. > :06:28.worked out, so how long the unity last, we can't be sure. -- lasts.

:06:29. > :06:31.A Danish inventor who built the world's largest privately made

:06:32. > :06:33.submarine has appeared in court in Copenhagen,

:06:34. > :06:35.charged with killing a Swedish journalist.

:06:36. > :06:37.Peter Madsen, who is 46, has denied the manslaughter

:06:38. > :06:40.of the woman, who disappeared on Thursday after a trip

:06:41. > :06:44.CCTV footage has emerged of the moment a house was destroyed

:06:45. > :06:51.A woman was inside the semi-detached house in Sunderland when the blast

:06:52. > :06:54.took place on Friday morning, but survived with minor injuries.

:06:55. > :06:58.It is understood that she was protected from the blast by a fridge

:06:59. > :07:07.Learner drivers are to be allowed on to motorways in England,

:07:14. > :07:14.car with an approved driving instructor.

:07:15. > :07:22.More details now from our correspondent Tom Burridge.

:07:23. > :07:26.Learning to drive - something many of us remember doing,

:07:27. > :07:32.But, from next year, learners will be allowed

:07:33. > :07:38.The Government says it will make us safer, because when people

:07:39. > :07:41.pass their test, they will already have experience of our biggest

:07:42. > :07:58.It's a good idea, because normally, as they're getting towards the end

:07:59. > :08:00.of their lessons, towards their driving test,

:08:01. > :08:04.If they're well supervised, obviously.

:08:05. > :08:07.We're looking for people who already know how to drive.

:08:08. > :08:09.Mainly new drivers, they still cause problems.

:08:10. > :08:12.But when we talk about people, about learners, that would be

:08:13. > :08:21.It would be chaotic, and I don't think it is the right idea.

:08:22. > :08:24.Learners will only be allowed onto a motorway with an approved

:08:25. > :08:27.driving instructor, and only in a car where the front passenger

:08:28. > :08:31.Road safety groups and the agency that represents driving instructors

:08:32. > :08:35.Driving on a motorway will not initially become part

:08:36. > :08:38.Learners will be there just during training.

:08:42. > :08:43.people killed and seriously injured on our roads.

:09:39. > :09:40.Let's discuss a night of surprises and drama

:09:41. > :09:42.at the World Athletics Championships, in London.

:09:43. > :09:44.Britain's men took gold in the 4x100m relay.

:09:45. > :09:48.But it didn't go according to plan for Sir Mo Farah or Usain Bolt,

:09:49. > :09:51.as they brought their careers on the track to an end.

:09:52. > :09:53.Our sports news correspondent Andy Swiss was watching.

:09:54. > :09:56.Rarely has a single race encapsulated so many emotions.

:09:57. > :09:58.As the British relay team celebrated a dazzling win,

:09:59. > :10:03.Usain Bolt's career ended in calamity.

:10:04. > :10:11.He is going to be chased by the great man.

:10:12. > :10:14.Bolt's Jamaica were the defending champions, but it was Britain

:10:15. > :10:17.And, as they sprinted to glory, Bolt's chase

:10:18. > :10:22.As Britain's stunning gold sunk in, Bolt was on his back -

:10:23. > :10:24.hardly the fairytale finish his career deserved.

:10:25. > :10:28.Eventually he was able to hobble away, but it was the saddest end

:10:29. > :10:32.For the British team, though, a picture of perfection.

:10:33. > :10:40.One of the fastest times ever, on one of the biggest stages.

:10:41. > :10:47.We're world champions, it's crazy to think.

:10:48. > :10:50.Especially - I feel so grateful to be in this team, and especially

:10:51. > :10:56.We have some not-so-nice memories from 2012, in terms of the relay.

:10:57. > :10:59.And to run it how we ran today, we couldn't have done it

:11:00. > :11:06.We just wanted to say thank you so much to everyone watching,

:11:07. > :11:10.And they're in a position to challenge for the medal.

:11:11. > :11:16.And the women's team took silver, on a night when the relay team give

:11:17. > :11:25.But the champion in the 100 comes away.

:11:26. > :11:27.USA, Great Britain and Northern Ireland and Jamaica.

:11:28. > :11:30.Silver medal for Great Britain, gold for the United States.

:11:31. > :11:43.There was also disappointment - no golden goodbye for Sir Mo Farah,

:11:44. > :11:47.having to settle for silver in his final race at a World

:11:48. > :11:52.It's been incredible, and it doesn't hit until you actually compete here,

:11:53. > :11:54.and finally, after crossing the line and having

:11:55. > :11:57.a couple of minutes to myself, realise this is it.

:11:58. > :12:00.So a case of agony for some, but ecstasy for others.

:12:01. > :12:04.A night as unpredictable as it was unforgettable.

:12:05. > :12:07.One man who knows how it feels to win relay medals for his country,

:12:08. > :12:10.albeit in the 400m version, is Iwan Thomas.

:12:11. > :12:13.He was watching the action at the London Stadium last night,

:12:14. > :12:17.and he is back there for us this morning.

:12:18. > :12:28.Good morning to you. Let's kick off on those relay team results. Because

:12:29. > :12:34.they were unexpected. How important were they for the team's medal

:12:35. > :12:38.tally? So important, for the morale, for the people of London as well.

:12:39. > :12:42.The atmosphere has been great, but it went up to another level last

:12:43. > :12:46.night. I think the girls were really confident after the heats. I

:12:47. > :12:50.thought, if I am honest, perhaps a bronze but to get the silver, and

:12:51. > :12:55.then when the guys came out you could see they meant business. It is

:12:56. > :13:02.a great example of it is not about four individuals who can run fast

:13:03. > :13:06.times, but getting that baton out safely. And the first leg was so

:13:07. > :13:10.quick. I thought at that point we are going to win this. And the

:13:11. > :13:14.delight on their faces, it has been a tough road to get here so to be

:13:15. > :13:19.crowned world champions really did lift the spirits of the whole team,

:13:20. > :13:23.and the nation, I hope. Absolutely, really exciting results there. In

:13:24. > :13:28.terms of Usain Bolt, it wasn't quite the ending we had been expecting for

:13:29. > :13:33.him, though. No, quite sad, actually. Individually, for him

:13:34. > :13:37.personally, I felt really sad. I think if you could have looked in a

:13:38. > :13:40.magic crystal ball you would have said leave after Rio, leave at the

:13:41. > :13:44.top. But for an athlete at the highest level it is very hard to

:13:45. > :13:47.determine when is the right time to bow out. And after seeing his

:13:48. > :13:52.documentary, he does get injuries, and this year is a year too far. And

:13:53. > :13:57.to go out with an injury is devastating. I don't think it will

:13:58. > :14:01.undermine his career whatsoever. He is a pure superstar, and Usain Bolt,

:14:02. > :14:04.we salute you, because everything you have done for the sport has been

:14:05. > :14:09.tremendous. Every time you see him that he is on the back of your next

:14:10. > :14:16.pick up. He is something special indeed. And another superstar, Sir

:14:17. > :14:21.Mo Farah. I think I caught you having a chat with him having so

:14:22. > :14:24.many pictures with different people in the audience and talking to his

:14:25. > :14:30.family. It really says it all when we are talking about disappointment,

:14:31. > :14:37.when he had silver. Yes, but for me it has been an honour to know Mo. I

:14:38. > :14:41.gave him a medal in 2013, and said he had some talent and to see him

:14:42. > :14:46.come through the ranks as a junior for Britain, and what he achieved on

:14:47. > :14:49.the track, a bit like Usain Bolt, I don't think we will remember the

:14:50. > :14:53.silver. He has literally been unbeatable and the only way he was

:14:54. > :14:57.beaten last night was for his opponents to run against him as a

:14:58. > :15:01.team. And that is what they did, they ran out of him. And it was

:15:02. > :15:05.disappointing for him because I could see on his face how much he

:15:06. > :15:08.wanted to get double gold. When he has time to reflect the will look

:15:09. > :15:13.back and realise what he did for this nation and for track and field.

:15:14. > :15:17.Mo is amazing and I wish him all the best in the future, on the road, and

:15:18. > :15:22.no doubt he will be just as good on there. And it was fantastic to see

:15:23. > :15:28.how much time he spent with fans, having selfies, writing autographs

:15:29. > :15:33.and making the moment for them. You mentioned the next chapter on the

:15:34. > :15:37.road. How do you see that doing for him? He is bound to throw everything

:15:38. > :15:41.at it, because that is what he is like. Hopefully he will have a bit

:15:42. > :15:47.of time off, because we know how hard he works. You set a date, Mo

:15:48. > :15:51.leaves nothing behind. He is a perfectionist, and I don't think he

:15:52. > :15:55.would be turning to the road unless he knew he could become the best in

:15:56. > :16:00.that as well. I have no doubt we have not seen the last of Mo Farah,

:16:01. > :16:03.and you said he spent so much time with friends last night. He knows

:16:04. > :16:07.what the sport needs to others, and he knows what he has done for the

:16:08. > :16:12.sport. He always takes time out for his fans and I think it would be

:16:13. > :16:16.very deadly on the road. I think you will be tough to beat. I wouldn't

:16:17. > :16:19.want to run against him. And how do you reflect back now and the

:16:20. > :16:23.competition is? I think it has been great. A lot of people have said

:16:24. > :16:26.they thought we would get more medals, but don't forget we have

:16:27. > :16:30.quite a few coming today. Tom was worth in the walking, Lindsay Sharp

:16:31. > :16:34.in the final. And you never know, we could get a couple more medals. I

:16:35. > :16:37.think it has been brilliant and I thank the people of Britain and

:16:38. > :16:40.London who have turned out in their thousands. We have had nearly

:16:41. > :16:42.700,000 spectators in the last ten days. That is pretty amazing. Thank

:16:43. > :16:52.you very much. With so much athletics this morning

:16:53. > :16:55.we are using athletics puns to get us into the weather. Ready, set, go,

:16:56. > :17:04.Philip Avery. Looks like you're on your own there,

:17:05. > :17:07.only the love and support of your colleagues that gets you through the

:17:08. > :17:12.morning! Here's a Weather Watcher getting down and dirty with this

:17:13. > :17:15.glorious shot from earlier this morning and those shots widely

:17:16. > :17:20.available, skies clear overnight, reflected in the templates but

:17:21. > :17:25.equating to a lovely start in most parts of the British Isles --

:17:26. > :17:30.tempts. Looks fantastic out there, I'm envious you are there and I'm in

:17:31. > :17:33.here but someone has got to do it! Looks like there will be a few

:17:34. > :17:37.showers in northern and western parts of Scotland but many central,

:17:38. > :17:41.southern and eastern parts could get away with a dry day. The odd passing

:17:42. > :17:45.shower and that's the extent of it for Northern Ireland and then in the

:17:46. > :17:50.greater part of England and Wales, a lovely day. The chance of a a few

:17:51. > :17:54.showers in the high ground of Wales and Mr west of England but in the

:17:55. > :18:04.east, the sunshine keeps on pouring on through -- south-west of England.

:18:05. > :18:08.Good day for the World Championships. Conditions set fair,

:18:09. > :18:13.we could see some impressive performances. Not such an impressive

:18:14. > :18:17.performance from the weather. On Monday, this area of cloud and rain

:18:18. > :18:20.all tied in with new weather fronts coming in from the Atlantic, they

:18:21. > :18:24.should push through Northern Ireland quite quickly, leaving behind the

:18:25. > :18:28.prospect of heavy showers and may be a rumble of thunder. Notice the rain

:18:29. > :18:32.doesn't get to the eastern side of England until really like on in the

:18:33. > :18:38.day on Monday and before that front arrives, some could see 23, 24, 25,

:18:39. > :18:42.feeling very summery. Push those weather fronts through during

:18:43. > :18:46.Tuesday, so the persistent rain giving way to the odd hefty shower

:18:47. > :18:50.and then those tending to die away as we go through to the evening and

:18:51. > :18:54.on through the night and into the first part of Wednesday, that ridge

:18:55. > :18:59.of high pressure suppressing those showers. What it won't do, though,

:19:00. > :19:05.I'm afraid, is hold at bay that area of low pressure. Notice the number

:19:06. > :19:08.of isobars, later in the day the western side of the British Isles

:19:09. > :19:14.again looking wet and windy and that sets us up for a windy spell from

:19:15. > :19:17.Wednesday into Thursday, so make the most of the day, it's looking super.

:19:18. > :19:20.Thanks, Philip, see you later! You're watching

:19:21. > :19:21.Breakfast from BBC News. Time now for a look

:19:22. > :19:27.at the newspapers. Astrophysicist Carol Mundell

:19:28. > :19:30.is here to tell us what's We'll speak to Carol in a minute,

:19:31. > :19:37.but first let's take a look at some Brexit dominates the

:19:38. > :19:50.papers this morning. A picture of Mo Farah on the Sunday

:19:51. > :19:55.Telegraph immediately after the race, his head in his hands, but the

:19:56. > :20:02.lead story, Britain will not stay in the EU by the backdoor the Cabinet.

:20:03. > :20:08.They will leave the union and the customs union in 2019 and not stay

:20:09. > :20:13.in the EU by the backdoor. That was an article jointly written by Philip

:20:14. > :20:17.Hammond and Liam Fox. The same subject, different spin in the

:20:18. > :20:22.Observer front page this morning, David Miliband, Ed's brother, it

:20:23. > :20:27.says he makes a dramatic entry into the debate about Britain's exit from

:20:28. > :20:33.the EU, calling for a second vote on the detail of the Brexit deal. Lots

:20:34. > :20:38.to talk about there I'm sure. The Mail on Sunday is leading on

:20:39. > :20:42.Theresa May, saying she's going to head off a threat to sack her as

:20:43. > :20:47.Prime Minister by making a public plea to Tory supporters to give her

:20:48. > :20:50.another chance, she will make a grovelling apology, they say, the

:20:51. > :20:56.Conservative Party conference will show her apologising for the loss at

:20:57. > :21:00.the General Election. She will be apologising.

:21:01. > :21:03.A frantic week of ripping open envelopes and going into schools and

:21:04. > :21:10.colleges and checking online with exam results coming up. The Sunday

:21:11. > :21:14.Times goes with the story schools fear chaos over tough A-levels. It's

:21:15. > :21:20.the first time the new exam system has been put to the test. The Sunday

:21:21. > :21:24.Times is saying that the marks required to secure top grades in the

:21:25. > :21:26.first new tough new exams have been lowered to avoid a dramatic fall in

:21:27. > :21:28.standards. A nerve wracking time of year.

:21:29. > :21:31.Astrophysicist Carol Mundell joins us now.

:21:32. > :21:37.You've been going through the papers and a story you've chosen in the

:21:38. > :21:44.Telegraph, which is about Nasa to probe Pluto. What's happening there?

:21:45. > :21:47.This is Nasa's New Horizons programme and it's been travelling

:21:48. > :21:52.through the solar system for the last 13 years. It reached Pluto

:21:53. > :21:55.earlier this year and sent back spectacular photos of the planet and

:21:56. > :21:59.scientists put it into hibernation for the last five months to save

:22:00. > :22:03.energy and it's carried on travelling through the solar system,

:22:04. > :22:06.to the most distant reaches humans have ever reached directly with a

:22:07. > :22:10.probe and what they will do on September the 11th is wake up the

:22:11. > :22:17.probe and then it will have a five-month journey to a mysterious

:22:18. > :22:21.region of the solar system called the Khyber Belt and the idea is to

:22:22. > :22:24.study a new object we found with space satellite telescopes around

:22:25. > :22:27.the world. We think it is to rocks or a double rock stuck together, 12

:22:28. > :22:32.kilometres across, 4 billion miles from Earth. That will be the first

:22:33. > :22:37.time we've ever studied the building blocks of the solar system with a

:22:38. > :22:43.probe. -- probe. How fundamental? Very. It's about studying the

:22:44. > :22:47.origins of the solar system, how are formed and how we got here today. It

:22:48. > :22:53.could answer the questions? New Horizons literally. Your eye is

:22:54. > :22:57.always going to be drawn to science stories and maybe even science

:22:58. > :23:05.fiction stories. This is a piece in the daily Star this morning. This is

:23:06. > :23:10.Jeremy Kyle, TV presenter, he's coming to a show that uses

:23:11. > :23:14.artificial intelligence to resolve real-life dilemmas. It sounds like

:23:15. > :23:19.science fiction but it is becoming science fact, many people already in

:23:20. > :23:24.counter artificial intelligence, sat navs, mobile phones with apps, the

:23:25. > :23:27.idea of this show is to see whether artificial intelligence can provide

:23:28. > :23:31.the human Interface. Scientists have been doing work on this, but the

:23:32. > :23:35.technology and the ethics behind it are quite controversial and some

:23:36. > :23:39.studies show for example children suffering from autism can benefit

:23:40. > :23:43.from this technology but of course there are other ethical issues in

:23:44. > :23:47.terms of replacing people's jobs so it's an active area of research for

:23:48. > :23:52.scientists working in AI, it will be a trusting to see how well it will

:23:53. > :23:58.do compared to human dilemmas. Absolutely. The Observer saying

:23:59. > :24:02.Harry Potter and friends, bad news for owls. There's a downside to

:24:03. > :24:07.everything that's wonderful! I'm sure many of your viewers are fans

:24:08. > :24:12.of Harry Potter, I am and so are my children, but unfortunately it's

:24:13. > :24:18.fuelling a global illegal trade in birds like Hedwig the owl so

:24:19. > :24:22.poachers are selling them to those who want to live the Harry Potter

:24:23. > :24:25.fantasy. Don't buy these birds and certainly don't buy from

:24:26. > :24:29.unregistered sites. Thanks very much, you will be back

:24:30. > :24:33.in an hour with more bits and bobs from the Sunday papers.

:24:34. > :24:35.Also talking about meteors. We will look forward to getting your

:24:36. > :24:35.thoughts on that. We're here on the BBC News Channel

:24:36. > :24:39.until nine this morning, Britain's Sir Mo Farah will join us

:24:40. > :24:44.from the London Stadium We'll also be joined by the gold
