thank you. a great pleasure to have you here. you have just written a book, power and progress, which goes through the impacts of some of the great technological shifts in human history over the past millennium. would you say that artificial intelligence, the supremacy of the algorithm, represents one of those transformational moments for humankind? i'm not sure that it does. but there is a fair chance that it will have transformative effects. it is all commonplace to compare it to the fire, or to the rise of industrial machinery starting in the 18th century, it remains to be seen wh...

this week... is it a boat or is it a plane? i'm onboard the ferry that can fly. why has nobody made an electric hydrofoil flying ferry before? i think the main reason is that it's freaking hard. we're in india, where solar dryers are battling food waste. and an eye in the sky on energy use. nice outfit, by the way. thanks. i've been taking the temperature with the world's thermometer to assess the climate impact of all our actions. stockholm, capital of sweden, and a city of islands, 1a of them to be precise, which makes water transport a big thing around these parts. so today i've d...

couldn't i sit farther back? sir anthony hopkins playing an ordinary man with an extraordinary story. sir nicholas winton was just 29 in 1938 when he embarked on a campaign to bring hundreds of refugee children from prague to london. for 50 years, he didn't talk about his efforts until they were revealed by the bbc tv programme that's life. if they hadn't been rescued and brought over to england, these children would have been killed by the nazis. i'm the bbc�*s culture editor, katie razzall, and for this edition of the arts interviews, i interrupted sir anthony's busy filming sche...

the perfect look. but beneath the surface lies a murkier side. for every pristine peak, broken boards and piles of cheap polystyrene dumped on our beaches. it's really disheartening to see this amount of waste come forward. surfers may enjoy the fresh sea air, but the industry relies on toxic chemicals, producing suits and boards derived from oil. and living that dream of being at one with nature is getting more and more difficult. we do want to encourage people to get outdoors, but at the same time, at what cost to the planet? so i want to know, can surfing clean up its act? i've su...
