university and robert craig from the university and robert craig from the university of bristol law school. robert, you've been inside pretty much throughout watching the proceedings, can you give us any inkling as to what and how you think this might go? there appears to be a consensus forming amongst the legal community that the government is in trouble. but i think the government is more confident and perhaps the consensus might suggest but it could go either way. we can see some of thejudges were go either way. we can see some of the judges were genuinely troubled by some of the arguments put forward by some of the arguments put forward by lord panic and he is an outstanding advocate. the lawyer for gina miller. and he is one of the leading advocates. —— pannick. and if he manages to get people on his side, over the weekend there have been conversations going on and discussions between them and they managed to get themselves to a majority, it can go that way and if it doesn't it could it is extremely difficult to call. alison, i know you studied these things carefully, the 1

university. good morning to you both. jeremy, first of all, what are we expecting today and how important will today be in these proceedings? today is an absolutely critical day, particularly for the government. they had a difficult time yesterday. lord pannick was on his feet yesterday morning for gina miller, putting that case against the government as to why fluoridation was unlawful and why it effectively stymied parliamentary solidarity. —— why prorogation. today i think they will start with the question of where can the court get involved and where does the court will draw the line and say, this is actually not a legal matter anymore, this is about politics and policy, and that will be the real ci’ux policy, and that will be the real crux of sirjames eadie plus max emissions this morning. is that how you see it, alison young? yes, i think he will look at the legal standard that lord pannick suggested and say that there is no legal standard present. we have heard about proper purpose a

university. jeremy, will thejudges had to explore the grey area between the law and politics? galba absolutely, this is about the key issue of the prime minister's advice to the queen, whether it is just. it means it is the threshold of where the courts intervene. is it a matterfor judges or are some things in a purely political domain, high policy that the court simply say it is not for us to get involved in, there is no threshold by which we can measure this. this is not what the scottish court of session said and that is why today is so interesting, the supreme courtjudges will have to look at two different judgments supreme courtjudges will have to look at two differentjudgments on the same issue and come to one of you. allison, do you have a best guess, will they decide this is a matter for them to consider. this guess, will they decide this is a matterfor them to consider. this is within the realms of theirjustice ability? | within the realms of theirjustice ability? i think it has become a

so a duo of astronomers from university of cambridge and university of columbia have studied for years on a structure of building a space elevator. so they actually suggest that materials such as zylom polymer could allow us to build a tower or cable that could extend from the earth's surface to a geostationary orbit. it wouldn't be anchored directly to our planet but it would be in our orbit so we could do whatever we were going to do with this space elevator. >> i'll just take the stairs. so do you hate your job? are you looking for a new one? florida has one for you. they are looking for 50 brave souls to hunt pythons. that's right, it's called python elimination program. and the program pays extra for snakes measuring more than 4 feet. apparently they have a problem with these critters, they're an invasive species so they're looking for people to take them out. >> so this is like wildlife science. >> yeah, if you -- >> species that we're talking about -- >> you watch steve irwin and you think you can do a better job? apply down in florida. >> you don't like snakes? >> i do not like

of cambridge. martin rees such a pleasure having me on our program so we've got all the mic. you know. many of your colleagues are actually wording that technology may help human race advance and thrive and prosper but it can also. hinder many things and hurt humanity many horrible ways so why is it because where evil or technologies are just too dumb to be interested with it well there is a huge and growing gap between the way the world could be and the way the world is we depend very much on technology indeed the population which is double. couldn't all be said without the technology that's been achieved the longer life expectancy is much better in cetera so all these things are due to technology and of course we have a connected world. the internet and technology is but of course. many of us is that these technologies are getting more powerful therefore not only can they provide more benefits but they open up new dangers. worried also about the downsides to take an example we know already that c

in some universities, cambridge would be a good example, students will find a university that is really focusing on the data, analysing the scale of the problem, making sure they have a real handle on it, whereas in other places they don't even know how much they are spending. they are not maintaining and monitoring data, not collecting the data, and in that way, i think students' experience is completely inconsistent across the country. universities say they already plan a voluntary mental health charter and need the nhs to provide more effective care for students. liverpool university said it was deeply saddened by ceara's death, and is working with the health service on changes. branwen jeffreys, bbc news. the uk's former chief scientist, professor sir david king, says he's scared by the speed at which the climate is changing in response to global warming. speaking to the bbc, he's called for the uk to advance its climate targets by ten years. i'm joined by our environment analyst roger harrabin. tell us more about what he had to say. the interesting thing for me is the use of the wo

david garrow is a media professor at parsons university in new york. modeled for months to retrieve the data that cambridge analytical had on him. he was amazed by what he discovered . this is the excel spreadsheet that they provided it is broken into 3 tabs core data election returns and models the model on the one hand personal data that the firm has gathered from the web and then my registered now this is all the voter data here and this is what would normally be public in voter records but it it's all accurate it has the day i registered to vote it has figured out my birthday my address the zip code down to you know all of my address it's connected to census information and it's connected to all the different kinds of elections so u.s. congressional state senate state house state legislative then you have some consumer information here like the designated mark information and f i p s it is another kind of consumer voter code and when you're on the other hand the psychometric interpretation of his personality together that's how you can really 0 in
