it was a glamorous but necessarily limited impression of the real person. now, nearly 20 years after her death in a car accident in paris, her sons william and harry have spoken in an itv documentary about diana, the mother who did so much to shape their childhood. we felt, you know, incredibly loved harry and i. we are grateful that they love still feels their. it was that love that, even if she was on the other side of a room, as a child you could feel it. the person who emerges from william and harry's description as a woman with a strong sense of fun. when everybody says to me, you know, so she was fun? give us an example. all ican hear she was fun? give us an example. all i can hear is her laugh in my head. and that sort of crazy love weather was just pure happiness shown on her face. one of her motto is to me was you can be as naughty as you want, just do not get caught. and they speak about them other‘s death. the recall the last time they spoke to her and they reflect on the overwhelming public reaction and how they coped with the weak and that in herfuneral. as they coped with the weak and that in her funeral. as william they coped with the weak and that in

to give blood after abstaining from sex for three months, instead of 12. hiv charities have welcomed the changes. our health correspondent sophie hutchinson reports. giving blood is not for everyone. rules on safety mean those at high risk of infectious diseases such as hiv and hepatitis or b and c are restricted from donating. but the rules are changing. gay men will no longer have to abstain from sex for 12 months. double reduced to three months before they can give blood. people who have had sex with high—risk partners or in a high—risk plays, will have the deferral period reduced to three months. and for the first time, sex workers will be allowed to donate blood after abstaining from sex for three months. technologies to pick up the presence of a virus and other infections of the blood have greatly improved. so we can now pick up viruses at a much earlier stage of the infection. therefore, it is much easier to tell if a blood donor has the virus. the reason for the changes that scientists say new testing techniques have established infectious diseases such as hiv and hepatitis b and c show up in the bloodstream well within three months. the changes have been welcomed by charities including the national aids trust um who say they we re national aids trust um who say they were based on the latest scientific evidence rather than prejudice. and we'll be speaking to the hiv charity, the terrence higgins trust, after seven this morning. some of the bbc‘s most high—profile female presenters have written to the corporation's director general tony hall, calling on him to

government. the equalities minister justine greening is setting out plans that would not require a doctor's diagnosis. she says she wants to streamline the process and make it less intrusive. at the moment, if you are a transgender person and you want to go about changing agenda, it is a very concentrated process. it is very concentrated process. it is very medically driven as well so you have to go to a clinic and go through a lot of psychological profiling and, of course, actually thatis profiling and, of course, actually that is something that makes it very difficult for people to access. a

yesterday. sunny spells and longer spells of rain. this is the area of low pressure which is weak but it will be enough to give disturbance to the atmosphere to a louder showers. we have had some mist and fog this morning. a dry start across the midlands southwards with early sunshine. further north, showers. into northern ireland, a dry start and at caulfield two things. ——a cool feel two things.

less chilly. we will have hang back of the cloud and some chilly northerly winds down the east coast. further west, in chilly northerly winds down the east coast. furtherwest, in the sunshine, it will

problems is popping up in london but would you take advice from an unqualified stranger? i'm not sure. a problem shared is a problem halved, also they say. but would you share your problems with a complete stranger? and would you share them spontaneously in public? that is what one clinical psychologist is helping. she launches a bold experiment in london despite challenging weather conditions the tea m challenging weather conditions the team create pop—up problem—solving booths and then invited members of the public to open up about the issueis the public to open up about the issue is weighing on their minds. so what is the big idea to time —— behind this? problem-solving booths is about people realising we can all help each other all the time. we don't have a culture or permission to ask. i am a trained clinical psychologist and a generally work in a clinic. at the end of the day i used to think, gosh, if only all the people i've met in private —— private in a clinic they could talk to it each other because they are suffering similar things. to it each other because they are suffering similar thingslj to it each other because they are suffering similar things. i keep waking up thinking i have to do this, do this, do this, every time it is more things. that is exactly what i go through. while i went there, there was a trickle of participants rather than adele huge but those who took part seemed to embrace the idea. ——a deluge. but those who took part seemed to embrace the idea. --a deluge. so many people in london have anxiety oi’ many people in london have anxiety

because of your up bringing, your parents? -- do you think. i thought maybe because i was more tolerant. trained psychologists are always on hand if serious cases emerge. the results of the scheme are still being assessed. it is about opening up being assessed. it is about opening up conversations around mental health and well—being just to destigmatise these things and get people talking and maybe do something about it. if successful, the scheme will be rolled out across the scheme will be rolled out across the country. interesting idea. is it an indictment on our society that we don't talk to each other? we don't go to the pub any more, do we. you might not. plenty of people do. i'm not allowed any more! we'll be back with the headlines at 6:30. now on breakfast it's time to join jane hill and mark kermode for this week's film review. hello and welcome to the film review on bbc news. to take us through the cinema releases, as ever, mark kermode. what have you been watching this week? a very big week, obviously. we have dunkirk, the new christopher nolan film, about which everybody is talking. we have city of ghosts, a very harrowing documentary from the maker of cartel land. and captain underpants: the epic first movie, which is really funny. everyone is talking about dunkirk. the scale and ambition of this is remarkable. it is and also the ambition of the release. it is the story of dunkirk told by christopher nolan who has made things like dark knight, interstellar and inception, and it is the story of the evacuation told through three intertwining strands that loosely follow land, sea and air. but although the story itself is fairly straightforward, it is told over three different timescales, one of the stories lasts one week, one of the stories lasts one day, one lasts one hour and these strands... if you know anything at all about nolan, you'll know that he loves to play with time. that temporal elasticity. the brilliant thing about this is that he does in a way that is very clear, you understand exactly what's going on even though it is quite a complex structure. it's shot on large format film and you're seeing from the images here, they are astonishing images, great big bulky cameras. plaudits to hoyte van hoytema, the cinematographer, carrying around these bulky cameras and doing really extraordinary work with them. the film is available in numerous different formats so depending on where you go to see it, you can see it in digital, in 35, in 70... and the picture will be different and look different. the advice i would give is that make sure you see it in the cinema that you know does the best possible presentation and sound. sound is very important, it plays a huge part in this. it has an extraordinary score by hans zimmer. christopher nolan has talked about this being a movie about tension, it is not to do with explicitly what you see, it is about the build—up and the score is like a rising tide and it builds all the way through the film. i think the most impressive thing, you know i am huge fan of christopher nolan anyway, the most impressive thing is that for a film on this scale, it is actually, the things you take away from it are the smaller images, an image of a man walking hopelessly into the sea, the image of kenneth branagh‘s face as he looks out over a lost horizon, it is a very, very impressive piece of work and it is great to see someone making a blockbuster movie that imagines that the audience are smart enough to keep up with this slightly complex structure. christopher nolan's whole thing has always been, the audience are cleverer than anyone imagines. that's really refreshing, actually. it really is. and look how well he does. he makes movies, i mean, why be michael bay when you can have christopher nolan? ijust don't get it. i feel like saying, it is what everyone will be watching. it is. and stories of the terror of dunkirk and stories of heroism and there are stories as well in your next choice of some very, very brave individuals and i have to be honest, the more i read about this, another one i am not sure i quite have the stomach for, but important work. it is, it's a documentary by matthew heineman who made cartel land and it is the harrowing account of isis' brutality as seen through the eyes of a citizens‘ journalist collective documenting what was happening to their home in syria. they formed a collective called raqqa is being slaughtered silently and they decided that what they would do was document what was going on, to let the world know and they did that at great personal cost. here's a clip. the thing that i think the film does really well is that it pays great tribute to the bravery of these people who are doing this citizen journalism reporting. it does contain some truly horrifying images and there are several occasions on which, whilst i was watching, i had to look away. the bravery of it is that the people who were actually doing this, they didn't look away, they saw it as their responsibility to document this stuff. but as you quite rightly say, it is a documentary that takes on very, very difficult subject matter. i think it's really important, but it is absolutely necessary to say that there are things in this documentary, quite rightly, that are very harrowing, but it is a real tribute to their bravery, that they were trying to get the message out all the time, even though their own lives were under threat. and many of them now live in germany. yes, they do, exactly. and even there, of course, there is the sense that they are never completely safe. we approach the summer holidays so we move to entirely different matters and perhaps for a younger age group? or is there something for adults too here? do you know what? i am 54 and i love captain underpants: the epic first movie. this is based on the much—loved books. if you're familiar with the books, and i am, i've read them all, i was a bit worried about the idea that someone would make a movie but now they have. the story is, two comicbook—creating kids accidentally turn their headmaster into the eponymous captain underpants with the help of a hypno ring they got from a cereal packet. here's a clip. what's this? why, it's the paperwork to separate you two! it's really incredible. i could actually see the end of your friendship! george, do something. put the pen down or we will hypnotise you! what's happening? when i snap my fingers you will obey our every command! you're now the amazing captain underpants! tra—la—la! laughter. we've gotta stop him. why? 0utta the road, bozo! why thank you, vehicle person. you laughed all the way through that. we're both laughing! you've seen it a few times and you're still laughing so that's a recommendation. and here's the thing. i started laughing at the beginning of this movie and then i did not stop. the more it went on, the funnier it became. i was sitting in a room with critics who i think were enjoying it but critics tend to be quite well—behaved, i was laughing just like a hyena. it's really funny and how great that we have a family movie out that you can take young kids to see and you will enjoy it every bit as much as them. captain underpants is a real stand out delight. that is one day at least that's sorted with my nieces for the summer. and lovely, when there aren't always the best kids films around to see. it's nice when something works. it's very hard to find something that you think will work both for the young audience and also for an older audience. i would quite happily go and see this again tomorrow. i laughed all the way through it and you know what a fan i am of the minions. this made me laugh more. funnier than the minions and that's really saying something for me. that is all we need to hear, marvellous. what's best out? well, i've gone back to baby driver, it's still in cinemas and i love it. the fact is, edgar wright has managed to cross a car chase movie with a romantic musical and make this film which is funny and sharp and smart and as a piece of cinema, i think it is really worth seeing and i want people to see it in the cinema. 0bviously, it'll come out on home video at some point, but at the moment, it is one of those things. have you been to see it? it's a big screen one... have you gone? i'm going, i'm going, it's on the list. ok, you have to. i promise, it's genuinely on the list. you genuinely have to go. unlike you and your funny horror things that you want me to try and see, i am going to see this. 0k, all right, fine, but you need to see that ina cinema. that is your summer homework. that is my homework. 'cause i didn't do well on homework last week so i must do better. ah, dvd as well for those who want to stay in. well, as i said last week, you need to see the levelling. that's also your homework but the thing that's out is get out, which is this great horror thriller from writer—director jordan peel, who incidentally is one of the voices in captain underpants. no. yes, absolutely. he comes from a comedy background. what this does is, it's kind of inspired by the books of ira levin, you know, the stepford wives, and tells a story about racism in white middle—class liberal america and it's more of a psychological thriller than a horror movie, although there are moments of horror in it. it is sharp and satirical and really, really well played and what i loved about it was, again, it's one of those films where you couldn't quite see where it was going. it's got great performances, it is very wry and i didn't know much about it when i went in and i was really surprised and i love ira levin's books anyway. i know this isn't directly adapted from them but the ghost of ira levin hangs over this and it is a really fine piece of work. but, try not to read too much about it before you see the film. ok, that's a good tip. thank you very much, as ever, mark. i have made a list of my summer homework. there is a lot of it but i'm going to do it. start with the levelling because you will love the levelling. i'm very excited about that one. thank you very much. good to see you, as ever. and a quick reminder before we go, you can find all the film news and reviews from across the bbc online at bbc.co.uk/markkermode — including mark's top ten films of the year so far. so i have to go on and see whether i've seen your top ten. all our previous programmes are on the iplayer as well of course. enjoy your cinema viewing, it is a very good week. thanks for being with us, bye—bye. hello, this is breakfast, with christian fraser and tina daheley coming up before seven we'll get the weather from stav. but first, a summary of this morning's main news. princes william and harry have given a candid insight into their relationship with their mother princess diana, and have revealed that they last spoke to her in a brief phone call on the day she died. speaking in a documentary to mark the 20th anniversary of her death, the princes said they regret the rushed nature of that conversation, but fondly recall their mother's loving nature and her mischievous side. 0ne one of her motto is to me it was you can be as naughty as you want, just don't get caught. she was one of the naughtiest parent. she would come and watch us play football and smuggle swedes into our socks. literally, walking back from a football match with five packets of starbursts. the rules on blood donation are to be relaxed in england and scotland to allow more gay men and sex workers to participate. experts say there is clear evidence it is safe for those groups to give blood after abstaining from sex for three months, instead of 12. hiv charities have welcomed the changes. some of the bbc‘s most high—profile female presenters have written to the corporation's director general

police said the man was followed on foot after officers tried to stop a car in kingsland road, hackney on saturday. he was "taken ill" after "trying to swallow an object" and was pronounced dead in hospital a short time later. the independent police complaints commission has been informed. a prison guard has suffered minor injuries during trouble at hewell jail in redditch in worcestershire. the protest is believed to have been caused by a smoking ban, which is due to come into effect tomorrow, as well as restrictions placed on inmates because of staff shortages. the scottish and welsh

storm. mel and sue are to host the return of the classic eb show the generation game. # love is the name of the game and i want to play the game with you. i promised you the theme tune, didn't i? it has been commissioned for an initial four show run. the new show will combine aspects of the original series and new games. did you watch that? i vaguely remember it. i think i am too young... oh, great. thank you very much. i remember the generation game. what was the other one? three, two, one? look what you could have one? we are going to about cycling now. i will talk about chris froome it is amazing. four men have won it on five occasions. he could win his fourth today and who knows how far he could go. some people say it has been easy for him that he has not won a single stage this win and his previous win has been under a much longer gap. it should be at big daily for him. great britain's chris froome is set to win his fourth tour de france title today. he extended his lead to 54 seconds in yesterday's time trial in marseille, and that won't be challenged in paris this afternoon. the sprinters will contest the stage win, but froome will be able to look forward standing on top of the podium on the champs elysees for the third year in a row. imean, i mean, there have been ups and downs over the last three weeks but i think it has been very much a grand tour in the sense. it has really been about the three weeks and doing those three weeks in the most conservative but efficient manner. it was not about one single stage. that is what grand tour racing is. earlier in the day britain's lizzie diegnan finished second in la course, the women's race organised by the tour de france. the race was won by the netherlands cyclist annemiek van vleuten, who crashed during last year's rio 0lympics road race. the americanjordan spieth will take a three shot lead into the final day of the open championship — and the chance to win his third major. victory today would make spieth only the second player afterjack nicklaus to win three of golf‘s four majors before the age of 24. and the players who'll be challenging him won't be british, after disappointing rounds on day three. ben croucher reports. 0na day on a day when the opening gave us plenty to smile about, this man may just have been beaming more than any. jordan spieth will tee off this afternoon with a three shot lead following a near faultless showing. no bogeys, three birdies, a shower of stability, culminating in a demonstration of why he has already won two majors before he turns 24. it will take an almighty effort to stop him claiming a third. is the chasers tripped over themselves. rory mcilroy was my shots behind the american. i don't know what the weather will bring but if i won a chance in this tournament only bad weather and i need to play well. ian poulter needs plenty of that as well. is two under alongside michael roy. to wait for a british champion continues. and while many waited for the heavens to open, we witnessed the heavens to open, we witnessed the amazing grace. branden grace with the lowest round in men's major history. enough to raise a grin from most. come tonight, jordan speith may be raising more than that. almost eight years to the day since he first won an individual world title at the age ofjust15, tom daley has won a second — in the same event — the ten metre platform at the world aquatics championships in budapest. in a really competitive final daley led from the first round but was pushed all the way by the olympic champion chen aisen from china. it all rested on his final dive. but he was awarded two maximum scores to secure the gold medal. it has been such a tough year getting over that competition in rio where i was out of the final and i was unable to compete and show my best. tough work after the olympics with how i was feeling and to come out the other side of it are still superb. i am excited to be able to finally go on a honeymoon now with my husband. and what a day it was for daley, because earlier, he and his partner grace reid won silver in the mixed three metre springboard final. afterwards, reid said the pair had been "winging it" because they hadn't been able to practise together all week. it was another golden night for britain's pa ra—athletes at the world championships in london. there were three golds and a silver for british athletes. sophie hahn took gold in the t38100 metres. she beat off competition from kadeena cox who took the silver in second. hahn set a new world record for the second time after she did the same in the 200 metres last weekend. another double world champion is georgie hermitage. she added to her gold in the 400 metres with victory in the t37100 metres. her time of 13.36 seconds is a new world championship record. after the year i have had i was wanting to win the 400 because that is my event. the one i knew was a lwa ys is my event. the one i knew was always going to be difficult. i thought i might have been squeezed out of the medals. to come and do that and under that amount of pressure. . . and the third gold of the night came for aled davies in the shot putt. he threw a massive 17.52 metres to break his own world record and finish three metres clear of the rest. england's women won the bronze medal at the lacrosse world cup, beating australia in the third place play off game in guildford. the scores were level at nine all at full time so it went to a golden goal decider and it was megan whittle who grabbed a dramatic winner for the home side, prompting wild celebrations. the united states won gold beating canada in the final. mark sampson says his team are ready for the dark arts of spain when the teams meet at the women's european championship this afternoon. england thrashed scotland six mil in their opening game of the tournament. spain won their first group match and beat england at the last european championships. scotland have their own injury worries ahead of their match against portugal, they're already missing three key players and they'll be without manchester city forward jane ross. after their opening game defeat to england, the scots need to bounce back if they're to progress further in the tournament. england's women's cricketers will aim to win their fourth world cup trophy today when they face india at lord's later. it's a sell out with more than 26,000 people expected to attend. england have won six consecutive matches but they lost the opening match of this world cup campaign to india. it isa it is a very romantic game as well for the public. we know the impact it will have on india and to get women's cricket going in india will bea women's cricket going in india will be a special thing. and we lost to them as well. we are in a much better placed as a team, we said we would grow as we went along. we worked hard as we did that and we are ina worked hard as we did that and we are in a better place, and we can achieve what india achieved against australia. as we've been hearing this morning, a scheme to resettle unaccompanied child refugees in the uk has been criticised for bad planning and failing to meet its target. concerns have been raised by the scottish and welsh governments, who say that children are being put in danger. let's talk to beth gardiner—smith from the charity, safe passage. so, earlier in the year we heard about the scheme. 0riginally there we re about the scheme. 0riginally there were 3000 people coming under this scheme and then that was reduced to 480. today you are saying not even 480. today you are saying not even 480 are coming. now, sadly not. parliament passed this law over 15 months ago and, yes, we have still only seen 200 children assisted under the scheme, and, really, only seen 200 children assisted underthe scheme, and, really, i think the message from both the scottish and welsh governments today is clear. it says let's get on with thejob. there are is clear. it says let's get on with the job. there are children at risk across europe, our field the job. there are children at risk across europe, ourfield teams in greece, in france and italy work with these unaccompanied onion to make young people every day and every day we leave them were waiting. they are missing out on a child will, on an education. is the letter says there is a lack of information. what kind of information. what kind of information do you need and why is ita information do you need and why is it a problem that you do not have that information? we could help the government identify the children eligible. they are there, they as sleeping and cancel sleeping rough because they do not have access to accommodation centres. they are at risk every day. the information is there, the children, we know where they are, it is just a question of getting on with the job now. the government was my point is that continuing the programme indefinitely would act as a pull factor. well, um, the independent human trafficking foundation last week had an independent enquiry that looked at this question. they said they found no evidence of a pull factor. really, the only evidence there is is that there is a push factor. a push factor is violence, warand factor. a push factor is violence, war and instability in the countries that these children are fleeing from. frankly, they are here. they are in europe. we where they are but they are great risk of being taken by people smugglers and traffickers who will traffic them into modern slavery. and we would not leave a child in that great a risk if they we re child in that great a risk if they were here in this country. the government's point, i will reach what the immigration minister said, he said they are committed to resettli ng he said they are committed to resettling 23,000 people directly from regions of conflict. year we we re from regions of conflict. year we were granted protection to over 8000 children. the point again, which he is making there, if you take the children directly from the camps in the conflict zones, they have less reason to try and risk these very crossings to europe. we have really supported the government in the work that it has done in terms of taking children and families from the region and helping those in the region. i am region and helping those in the region. iam proud region and helping those in the region. i am proud of what britain has done, but it is not an either or. we can do both. in the 1930s we took 10,000 jewish children refugees who are fleeing nazi persecution into this country. i am incredibly proud of that legacy. i think we can do something like that again. we are not actually saying as many as 10,000 children. this is a tiny number in comparison. we can do it. we can do both. we can help refugees in the region and we can also help the children who are desperate risk in europe right now. in italy they 11,000 refugees arrived injust in europe right now. in italy they 11,000 refugees arrived in just five days. europe is still dealing with the refugee crisis and britain can do its bit in europe as well is in the region. very grateful for your time. thank you. time you're watching breakfast from bbc news. the main stories this morning: prince william and prince harry have given a candid insight into their relationship with their mother, in a documentary marking 20 years since her death. the rules on blood donation are to be relaxed in england and scotland, to allow more gay men and sex workers to participate. here's stav with a look at this morning's weather. lots of rainbows this morning. this one is even bigger. there will be showers today and longer spells of rain such as —— like yesterday. a few things going on. there is an area of low pressure complicating things. it will bring wet weather to eastern scotland through the day and it will sink southwards. in towards wales, much of england. when we have showers pushing into south wales, sarah sanders sunny spells around to the midlands and the southern parts of england. any mist and fog should clear away. we have had the rain through the midlands which will fizzle out through the morning. northern ireland, a cloudy start but it will rake up and the sunshine will appear. western scotland has the sunshine. central and eastern parts will turn cloudy, misty and wet with an onshore breeze. this is the weather front i was talking about, sinking southwards into north—east england and central southern scotland would see showers developing. brightening up behind it and for england and wales, it is sunshine and showers. some heavy ones and maybe longer spells into south—west england and south—east. in the sunshine, 20 or 21 but when the rain arrives, the showers will feel cool. the last day at royal birkdale, they will be further spells of rain or showers. some sunny spells and more breezy than yesterday. for the women's world cricket at lord's, the clouds will gather through this afternoon with showers around so they could be interruptions unfortunately. as we head into the evening, the band of raid thinks southwards and generally wea ke ns. raid thinks southwards and generally weakens. —— rain. into the start of the new working week, we have the hang back of the weather front in central and eastern areas gradually clearing away becoming confined to the south—east. a cool one of northerly winds down the east coast but further west, sunny spells and feeling quite warm. the dry weather spreads across most of the uk and on tuesdayit spreads across most of the uk and on tuesday it looks settled with light winds. good sunny spells but make the most of it because behind me, this weather system will make inroads for wednesday to make for a pretty wet day. we will be back with the headlines at seven and now on breakfast, it is time for click. there are sharks all around me! virtual reality. it's action—packed. it's immersive... argh! there's a mouse! it's terrifying. argh! it's collaborative... laughter. it's a knockout! ok, you hit me. it's... oh, god. it's frozen. it's... ..frozen. it's fun, but it's not going to change the world... it's not going to change the world... it wouldn't fit in as much as, say, my phone would. it wouldn't fit in... it's such a shame, it's so annoying. it's annoying. not really what you want to hear when you are talking about vr. especially since the technology has actually been around since the 1960s. this helmet is from the mid—1990s. but it wouldn't be the first bit of amazing looking tech to simply fade into novelty. one of the problems is the media goes mad over it and then everything gets overhyped, not that we would be guilty of that of course... this is amazeballs! but the truth is, sometimes stuff gets overblown and the people who buy the thing end up getting disappointed by the thing. well, this week, the bbc, in partnership with ipsos mori, has published research into the reality of virtual reality. 16 ordinary people were given samsung gear vr headsets for three months, and asked to use them in their free time at home. and for any long—term observers of tech, the results probably aren't surprising. let's start with the sheer faff. actually finding your headset in the first place, it might be shoved in a drawer or somewhere, under your bed, dust it off, it might be dirty, it might not be totally clean. getting your phone and putting it into the headset, if you have a mobile—driven vr headset, and making sure that the phone has high battery because that will often be drained very quickly. finding a piece of content to actually watch, the phone might overheat and the experience will then stop. you might be a family, friends or flatmates pranking you as you are doing it so you will feel self—conscious. your hair might be messed up, or your make—up, or whatever. and all of those various barriers come to be quite significant behavioural hurdles to get people to do this. these things just aren't ready for prime time yet. they are not easy to use and they are not easy to share. for example, as soon as i take this off my head, it switches off to save power, which means i cannot get something going and then give it to someone else to enjoy. it will switch off and they have to navigate to the content all over again themselves. it means i've ended up putting a sticker over the sensor so it doesn't know when it's been taken off, which is stupid! look, a doggy! there's really no argument that vr can blow your mind. i'm on a roller—coaster! look, i can go down! but after those initial experiences, keeping people interested is another huge problem. once they are exhausting the key experiences, the novelty experiences around the roller—coaster rides, and the horror experiences, those kinds of things, then their enthusiasm ebbs away quite quickly. and one of the reasons why people get bored is that there was not much new to watch. with vr content, i think there is a bit of a chicken and egg situation. obviously, to encourage more people to buy vr headsets, it would be good to have more and more vr content. but it costs a lot of money to make and you don't necessarily want to invest in making the content unless you are confident a lot of people will see it. so, it is difficult to put a lot of money into something if you do not know that people will buy the headset but then to convince them to buy the headset, maybe you have to do that? it's a problem that's also beset blu—ray, 4k, and 3d tv. we've moved incredibly far in the last two years in terms of what has been produced, but there was a lot of interdependent things here. there is consumer uptake of headsets, technology needs to be betterfor production, tools and things to produce that. all of these things are happening at once and incredibly fast, but not fast enough. this might explain why last week facebook cut the price of their 0culus headset for the second time. it's a lot to shell out for something that mightjust end up being a novelty. by reducing its prices, 0culus will probably appeal to more people who were already considering buying the headset, but i'm not sure it will convince many people to buy it, to try it. it is still a lot. it still costs about the same as a games console. and it's notjust the price of the headset itself, you need to have a pretty high—end machine to run these things on. and even sony, the company that provides a high—end playstation 4 with its vr headsets, which has sold 1 million of the things, told us not to get too excited about it. i think that, in the last six months to a year, we have seen a little bit of overhyping of the category out there. certainly not by ourselves. we saw this as the start of a very long process of bringing vr into the mainstream. you will see a lot more technology innovation. i think content makers, game makers, and others, including folks making television programmes, they are really only just starting to learn what the tools are to make really good for your content. everybody knows it will take some time before we produce really good and compelling content, but we are inventing a new medium here and that is obviously going to take time. but unless we start somewhere, we will never do it. so we need to wait a few years while you guys get it right, so there is something worth watching? hmm... laughter you can't develop anything unless it is in conjunction with the audience too, so if we have no audience, we'd never be able to create something and make it really work for them. this little fellow is called sea turtle. designed to move, like, you guessed it, a sea turtle, his arms are shaped like the fins found in nature. he has been developed by researchers at arizona university to detect landmines, and sadly for him, detonate them. unsurprisingly, current de—mining bots on the market cost a pretty penny, but sea turtle has been made on the cheap. powered by a raspberry pi zero computer and constructed from cardboard, this disposable device is £50 a pop. not bad for a machine that learns as he goes. we put a robot in front of a camera and every time a robot makes a good move, then it essentially gives itself some positive reinforcement, in terms of, maybe i should try that again. if it gets a negative or it does not do very well in trying a new type of control then it is a negative reinforcement, and so it doesn't try that type of motion again. in reinforcing it, by giving it good or bad feedback, it was able to learn to walk upon its own. not only could the lightweight robot potentially save lives here on earth, he could also be used to further research in space. one of our goals is to use this in order to manufacture robots in space. the idea is, rather than iterating over the design of the robot here on earth, where we actually don't have the environment in which it is going to be deployed, we can actuallyjust ship the materials into space and manufacture the robot on the spot. currently battery—powered, sea turtle gets fairly tired after about three hours on the trot, so researchers aim to add solar cells to his back so he can charge himself. they also plan to manufacture loads and automate them, so swarms of bots working together could quickly cover large areas. this robot is really good at paddling through sand, so not just landmine detection, but applications such as farming, or anywhere where you do not want a very expensive robot interacting with very dirty environments, this robot is very good and well tuned for that. speaking with stutter: my name is gareth. i'm studying at nottingham trent university. i've had a stutter ever since i was six years old. i don't let it get in the way of things that i do. although a stutter isn't curable, gareth‘s dedicated his masters degree to finding a way to treat it as best he can through virtual reality. i'm creating virtual reality exposure therapy. it is aimed to benefit people who stutter and to also treat social anxiety. gareth is using a headset called the fove which has the ability to track eye movement — something that can be severely affected when somebody is stuttering. the eyes can close, flicker or fixate on a certain space and adjusting one's eye movements is part of established speech therapy for stutterers. by analysing the eye movements of his subjects, gareth is able to suggest similar exercises and techniques and in the future he hopes his research might be used by speech therapists in official treatments. when the person is in the environment, they will see an animated avatar and they are to talk to the avatar about a certain topic like their favourite holiday, and over that time, i'll be tracking their eye behaviours and seeing what they do when they stutter. i will be advising them what to do and how to improve their speech as well. gareth has previously used a more basic headset to improve people's confidence by simulating an entire audience for them to speak in front of. and although he is only addressing the eye movement and not the speech element directly, he hopes this research will be able to improve the confidence of those who stutter and indeed those who don't. and that is it for the short cut of click for this week. the full—length version is waiting for you at iplayer right now. don't forget to follow us on facebook and twitter throughout the week @bbcclick. thanks for watching. we will see you soon. hello, this is breakfast, with christian fraser and tina daheley. princes william and harry speak candidly about their mother — ahead of the 20th anniversary of her death. probably a little bit too roar up until this point. it is still raw. they open up about diana's loving and mischievous nature — and reveal details of their final conversation. good morning, it's sunday the 23rd ofjuly. also ahead: the rules on giving blood in england and scotland are to be relaxed — allowing more gay men to donate. the hospital treating baby charlie gard has called in the police, after some of its staff received death threats. a fourth tour de france title for chris froome — he goes into the final stage almost guaranteed to win.
