last week lara ventured into her garden. this week we have both been let loose into the outside world. how was it for you? it was great, i have been on an electric bike and i managed to not fall off, unlike last time. how was it for you? i have to say, i really enjoyed filming out and about again. we have both done this bike then, which you will see later in the programme. one other thing i have done this week is i have been to a comedy gig online, which was really funny. good thing is that the front row of the audience, if you like, had their mics alive throughout so you could hear some of the laughter which really helped, and i really enjoyed it. that sounds great, and who would want to be on the front row of a comedy gig normally? no, not me. as we start to move toward some sort of sense of normality, one of the things that was delayed during lockdown was elective surgery. in england the nhs had to free up 12,000 beds for covid—i9 patients. and that meant the delay of 2 million operations. it means that people are waiti

and that's it from me on this over and lara with the tomatoes. i'm just linking this over and lara with the tomatoes. i'mjust linking my plants tomatoes. i'mjust linking my plants to the app. indeed. you can keep up with the team throughout the week on social media on youtube, instagram, facebook, and twitter @bbcclick. thanks for watching. and we will see you soon. bye-bye. hello there. there's no sign of our weather settling down anytime soon. and this weekend it stays certainly unsettled with cloud and rain on the way and there will be some strong winds as well, particularly as we head into sunday. scenes like these, i think, be quite commonplace over the next 24 hours. you can see extensive cloud racing then across the atlantic, but this area of cloud in the west atlantic — a puny area, a weak area of low pressure at the moment but it's going to rapidly deepen as it races towards the british isles and by sunday it will be bringing gales across northern areas. the winds strong enough to bring down some trees, so there is the risk of some tra

from me on the sofa, and from lara at arrivals. you can keep up with our team throughout the week on social media on youtube, facebook, and instagram. thanks for watching, and we will see you soon. goodbye. hello there. the heat is continuing to build across much of the country. it's going to be a short—lived heat because the wind direction changes again by the weekend. but a southerly breeze on thursday and bags of sunshine in the south lifted temperatures to 30 degrees around london. further north, you can see much more cloud where there is some rain too, only 16 in the central area for scotland. that rain is moving away and we have clearing skies and we start with these temperatures, 17 in liverpool, 18 in london, 20 or so in the channel islands where the heat is coming from. we are drawing all of that heat from france out over the channel, heading its way northwards across much of the country. that heat comes ahead of a weather front here, which is slowly pushing in western areas through the day. so, it is not going to be hot

and that's it from me on the sofa and lara with the tomatoes. i'm just syncing my plants to the app. very 2020. indeed. well, of course, you can keep up with the team throughout the week on social media on youtube, instagram, facebook, and twitter @bbcclick. thanks for watching. and we will see you soon. bye— bye. hello, the first half of the weekend was grey and breezy for most of us. the second half of the weekend is looking thoroughly windy, unusually windy for the time of year. expecting gales and places through the day ahead. it should be a bit of sunshine but also some showers. low pressure firmly in charge of the scene. this looks more autumnal than summer. lots of white lines you can see on the chart, isobars, with the wind is strong throughout the day. a frontal system bringing patchy cloud into the south—east first thing, which will clear quickly, and then a fair amount of sunshine. some showers as well, some of those will be really heavy. particularly across parts of northern england, northern england and scotland. there could be

and that's why today, lara is not at home, she is at an airport. yes, that's right. i'm not going any further than heathrow airport, though. i have to say it is amazingly quiet, here. wow, so what are you up to, then? we've been given some behind—the—scenes access to take a look at some of the technology that is being used to help keep the airport covid safe. 0k, we'll have more on that later in the programme, so see you in a bit. first we are going to return to something we often talk about on this programme, the battle that social media companies are fighting against extremist content and hate speech. normally companies like facebook, twitter, and more recently tiktok are the ones making the headlines, but there are other outlets for extreme views, too. for example, it is totally possible to buy racist and far right products from some of the world's biggest online retailers. james clayton has been investigating. it's a sad reality that racism is alive and well online, but it might surprise you that some of the biggest companies in the world are selling racist m

from me on the sofa, and from lara at arrivals. you can keep up with our team throughout the week on social media on youtube, facebook, and instagram. thanks for watching, and we will see you soon. goodbye. hello there. so far this month we have seen temperatures around or below the seasonal average. quite a lot of cloud and rain at times too. but by the end of this month, friday, a hot spell is likely for much of the uk and we could see the hottest day of the year so far on friday. we could see temperatures reached 3a celsius. pressure chart shows for thursday we have low pressure to the north and west. that will bring more cloud and outbreaks of rain for northern ireland and northern england and perhaps north wales. that rain will be pushing into scotland as we move through the day. some of the rain will be quite heavy as it exits northern ireland. but brightening up for northern ireland and southern scotland, for england and wales, though, a fine dry day from the word go. with sunshine turning increasingly warm and humid with th

from me on the sofa, and from lara at arrivals. you can keep up with our team throughout the week on social media on youtube, facebook, and instagram. thanks for watching, and we will see you soon. goodbye. hello. after a saturday which brought us some torrential downpours, some thunderstorms, even a tornado, sunday is looking a little bit quieter by comparison. a lot more in the way of sunshine around for many of you. some will stay dry, but there'll still be a scattering of showers to hide from every now and again. and one or two showers have continued through the night into the first thing in the morning. a fresher feel, as well, but still temperatures in double figures. and with the sunshine on your back across england and wales, that won't feel too bad in particular. plenty of dry, bright weather here to begin with. a few isolated showers in the west in the morning, developing more widely into the afternoon. showery morning followed by a largely sunny afternoon for northern ireland, southern and eastern scotland. but more pers

from me on the sofa, and from lara at arrivals. you can keep up with our team throughout the week on social media on youtube, facebook, and instagram. thanks for watching, and we will see you soon. goodbye. we have a fairly unsettled weekend on the cards. showery rain and there is glimpses of the blue skies out there as well. this was the picture in cambridgeshire a little bit earlier on, but for most of us today will be a fairly cloudy affair. some of the rain particularly through the afternoon could be quite heavy and possibly thundery at times as well. cast your mind back one year ago today on the 25th ofjuly 2019, the highest temperature ever recorded in the uk was recorded in cambridge, 38.7 celsius. today, for many of us, about 20 degrees cooler than that. we are dragging in the air from the atlantic, this cool westerly air, following behind the cold front bringing outbreaks of rain through many parts. low pressure driving the weather, sunny spells and showers rattling around that low pressure. south—east, the rain this aft

and that's it from me on the sofa and lara with the tomatoes. i'm just syncing my plants to the app. very 2020. indeed. well, of course, you can keep up with the team throughout the week on social media on youtube, instagram, facebook, and twitter @bbcclick. thanks for watching. and we will see you soon. bye— bye. hello there. if you cast your minds back to last weekend, you'll remember we had an area of low pressure which brought some wet and rather windy weather to the british isles. this weekend looks even windier and unusually windy for the time of year, particularly into sunday, with a risk of widespread gales and all of us will see some rain at times as well. before we reach that very windy spell, it looks like it will be a breezy day for saturday. winds coming in from the west and south—west, driving a lot of very warm and humid air off the atlantic. going to be a rather cloudy and muggy day today, thickest of the cloud always across the western hills of england, wales and scotland, a bit of low cloud, some murk as well through the af

from me on the sofa, and from lara at arrivals. you can keep up with our team throughout the week on social media on youtube, facebook, and instagram. thanks for watching, and we will see you soon. goodbye. we haven't seen any prolonged, settled summer sunshine for a long time now. the next couple of days stay pretty unsettled by the rain or showers and unseasonably windy for the time of year but for wednesday onwards, high pressure builds in quietens things down for a few days at least with temperature warming up in the south. so far today, the strongest of the winds and rain have been through scotland. a cluster of showers further west. some of these will drift further inland throughout the remainder of the afternoon. sunny spells and scattered showers to close out sunday with temperatures peaking between 14—23. to the evening some of those showers will start to fade away but there is another area of low pressure going to push on from the south—west and thatis to push on from the south—west and that is going to bring a spel

and, i don't want anyone to panic, right, but lara has left the building. she's gone rogue... is that the outside? it's the outside world! i've been allowed out. and you may be next week! oh, no. no, too scary. too scary! what're you up to? well, i was actually inspired by last week's food special to grow some of my own veg. but seeing as i can't even keep a cactus alive, i've gone for a spot of technology to help — of course. 0k. so what's that all about then? ok, so welcome to my smart garden. this is actually called click & grow. good name! seriously? brilliant. yep, absolutely. now, this is actually a spot of verticalfarming. although i've been setting it up outside it will live indoors, and the device provides exactly the right amount of light and water that the plants need. plus the plants all come like this in little sachets where you have the seed for whatever plants you want, but also what the company calls smart soil, which means thatjust the right amount of nutrients should be within each pod so there should be no problem in creating perfect crops. now, this devic
