i use them to drive my car. but these are quite different to what you might find on a road car as they're tuned for a racing environment. but a racing team is more than just the drivers, and building systems like this into already finely tuned machines isn't a straightforward process. and so you obviously work with different iterations of these controls. how does that process work and how did you get to where you are now? well, first of all, we start with looking at the drivers and seeing what their needs are, you know, what their disabilities and what physical limitations they've then got. and then we start, from there, with the ergonomics of the control system that we're designing, and by that i mean the paddles that are on the steering wheel. and when we started designing this, we started with a very different steering wheel to the one we've got now so we're constantly improving it and developing it based on driver feedback. definitely challenges there, and a lot of that's integrating our system with the car

this tactic of using emojis and using emoticons as a way of abating hate speech moderators has been used for years. we have an entire chapter of our book about myanmar, and how facebook was told over and over what was happening with hate speech. butjust by using little emojis and gifs, people are able to evade some of that censorship that facebook said it would impose to prevent real—world violence in the streets there. despite knowing that this is happening, despite knowing these emojis and whatnot are invented on the fly each time to try and perpetuate hate speech on their platform, facebook cannot seem to get a handle on it. ijust have a statement here from facebook, who own instagram. they told us no one should have to experience races abuse anywhere, and they don't want to own instagram. they quickly removed comments on sunday and will continue to take action against those who break their rules. mayowa, i wanted to ask you why a footballer would want to be on social media. can you explain the upside for them? there are many. you don't have to look any further than marcus rashford.

and it's actually quite simple to use. first you point your phone at something — like my cat, here, neo. you press search, and then from there, the app asks google assistant what the object is that i'm pointing at. and it gives me an answer! it tells me he's a black cat, and, funnily enough, being a black cat, he might actually be good luck. didn't know that. so the lens app itself can translate text in front of you, where you can buy a shirt, and it can even help you cheat on your homework. and with google�*s insanely huge data bank, after years of searching and info gathering, the apps computer vision is pretty accurate, with machine learning in—built in case the algorithm misses anything. and lens is impressing in other unique ways. so, what i'm gonna do to test this out is take a picture of this view in front of me, zoom in a little bit, get past the trees, and there we go — the london skyline. and a lot is going on here. what lens is doing is it's tapping in to google earth's 3d representation of the planet, i

now, mr speaker, three weeks ago, the health secretary told us that unlocking would make us healthier, and he promised us it would be irreversible. but today, we have some of the highest infection case rates in the world — and the mayor from jaws has decided to reopen the beaches, recklessly throwing off all restrictions with no safety precautions in place, like mandatory mask—wearing. he wanted to know more about sunday's rapid u—turn. because we know the prime minister's and the chancellor's plan was to dodge isolation. so, can he tell us how this "random" clinical trial that so helpfully "randomly" selected the prime minister, the chancellor, and the chancellor of the duchy of lancaster was set up? can he tell us what exactly happened between 8am and 10:38am on sunday morning that persuaded the prime minister and chancellor to withdraw from this presumably valuable clinical "random" study? ministers are no longer taking part in the scheme. the snp said the government was going against expert opinion. last week, over 1,200 scientists, doctors, i and disease experts said. that

give us your thoughts. this is a valuation must more consistent with the technology company than a bank. if you look at the valuations on the traditional banking sector, particularly in the uk, around ten times earnings. the technology space — 25—80 times. so, not everyone will be familiar with revolut, it is valued as a technology company. you are right, there is some nervousness, particularly with the cryptocurrency exchange. the confidence that consumers might have to take a broader range of services rather than just fx transactions or taking loans out, that is what the investors are gambling on — that that transition will happen. there needs to be confidence that the underlying entity is sound. when will the transition happen because we have had some of these apps around for many years, people are more confident and familiar, but they are used more often as a sideline next to an old—fashioned bank where you have your mortgage and salary going in. there are two big drivers to that customer transi

that made us women angry. of course, the japanese parliament is dominated by men, that's why a medication for impotency was approved straightaway and why we had to fight for decades for the pill. japan's population is shrinking. the birth rate is among the lowest in the world. translation: the government says| we have a low birth rate and we need to have more babies but the japanese system still doesn't support women to have babies. it is directly related. people don't want more children because they can't afford them. education, it's so expensive. i went into politics because i wanted to change the law so a woman can live a life she wants. and marry who she loves and raise the children she wants to have and be financially independent. there are still not enough women in politics, but better representation is the only way to make sure women's issues get addressed. yoriko madoka highlighting the need for more women injapanese politics. let's head to 1945 now and the second world war when an atomic bomb was deto

that is allowing us to go ahead. keir starmer said a high infection rate could mean millions of people being "pinged" to self isolate. the financial times estimates this morning that that could be around 2 million people per week. the mail says 3.5 million people a week. eitherway, it's a massive number. it means huge disruption to families and businesses just as the summer holidays begin. borisjohnson said the government would be moving away from self isolation towards testing. and he accused keir starmer of "trying to have it both ways". on monday he seems to say he was in favour of opening up onjuly the 19th, now he is saying it's reckless. which is it, mr speaker? maybe i can help a little. just to remind us that it's . prime minister's questions. if we want opposition questions we will need to change - who is standing up. a labour mp reminded the prime minister of the human cost of the pandemic. mr speaker, my grandmother, whom i love dearly, was lying on her hospital deathbed and none of us were allowed to be t
