showers around. most places will see at least one fine day this weekend. good morning. first, our main story. ajudge in the us has put a temporary nationwide block on president trump's immigration controls. it could means travel restrictions on people from seven mainly muslim countries should be lifted immediately. the white house is expected to appeal against the ruling by a judge in seattle. greg dawson reports. on america's east coast, another day of prayer and protests at kennedy airport as people voiced their opposition to donald trump's immigration ban. over on the west coast, that opposition was being voiced in a seattle court room. in the most significant legal challenge yet to president trump's order, a federaljudge issued a nationwide temporary block on the measure. washington state's attorney general said he expected the government to obey the judge's ruling. judge robart‘s decision, effective immediately, effective now, puts a halt to president trump's

unconstitutional and unlawful executive order. i want to repeat that. it puts a stop to it immediately. but the white house says it will fight the ruling and quickly seek to re—instate the order. in a statement, donald trump's press secretary sean spicer said... in the meantime, us customs and border protection has told airlines they can now board those passengers previously affected by the ban. chanting: no hate! no fear! muslims are welcome here! donald trump was quick to dismiss protests sparked by his immigration ban. dismissing the ruling of a federaljudge is likely to be a bigger challenge. the shadow chancellor,

john mcdonnell, will lay out plans this morning for closing what labour calls the gap in public funding between the north of england and the south. in a speech in liverpool, he'll promise that, under a labour government, ministers would be required to report to parliament to prevent regional imbalances. our political correspondent, chris mason, has the details. this is the expensive and rather long hole in the ground. when it is finished, trains will zip through the capital to essex in the east and berks in the west but what about the north of england? in a speech, today, john mcdonald will say... so what could this mean for the

north—east of england ? so what could this mean for the north—east of england? for yorkshire oi’ north—east of england? for yorkshire or manchester? mr mcdonald offers very little specific detail and does not say whether any extra money would come from. a spokesman said labour ‘s policy to borrow half £1 trillion would crash our economy. we'll be getting more detail on the plans from the shadow chancellorjohn mcdonnell, just after 8. three past and present employees from the electronic monitoring service, which fits offenders with tags, have been arrested by police. the sun newspaper claims the investigation relates to allegations that some staff in london were paid by offenders to deliberately fit the devices too loosely so they could be removed. a spokesperson for the service, which is operated by capita, said it had a policy of zero tolerance against any employees who undermined its work.

a man who tried to attack the louvre museum early on friday was an egyptian who came to paris on a tourist visa from dubai, according to the french authorities. the suspect was critically injured after he was shot by french soldiers, as he began his assault. our correspondent in paris, jonny dymond, reports. in the heart of paris, at the entrance to one of its cultural treasures, an attacker is brought down by the military. an egyptian, he'd come to the city eight days ago. he was stopped as he tried to enter the shops beneath the louvre. he shouted, "allahu akbar", god is great in arabic. and then swung at a soldier with one of the two machetes he was carrying. the soldier fired from the ground, all around confusion and fear. the french president in malta

at the eu summit said it was a terrorist attack. the situation, he said, was under control. translation: the threat is there. it remains, and we have to face it. that's the reason we mobilise these resources and will continue to do so as long as it is needed. for the authorities, this was proof that the high—profile security presence in the capital and across france really does work. it was also a reminder of the attacks that took so many lives here, and of the threat that remains in paris and beyond. by the end of the day the louvre was open again but paris and france remain on high alert. jonny dymond, bbc news, paris. cancer affects hundreds of thousands of people in the uk every year but one in ten patients

with the disease have no close friends to speak to about what they're going through. talking is on in port and part of dealing with an illness. a diagnosis of cancer is bad enough, researcher says just how difficult it can be to talk about the disease and get help. around 9% of sufferers, 230,000 people, had no close friends to talk to. around 4% said they lost touch with friends because of their disease. 43% said they could not cope without the support of their friends. macmillan also said it was difficult to talk to somebody who had developed cancer. a friend of someone with cancer. a friend of someone with cancer often said they did not know how to approach the subject, offers

support and offer a full range of information advice because they fear they might be giving the wrong kind of support, or might not be talking sensitively about the issue. but anyone who feels they are not getting the support, they are advised to seek help from the community. black sabbath — the band seen by many as the founding fathers of heavy metal — will play theirfinal gig tonight in the city where it all began, birmingham. (music playing). the group was formed nearly 50 years ago and went on to sell more than 70 million records worldwide. three of the original four members will be on stage, including frontman ozzy osbourne. he told our entertainment correspondent colin paterson that he's expecting it to be an emotional night. i have been happy, i have been a chief of and i never thought i

would. people asked me howl chief of and i never thought i would. people asked me how i would feel on the last note, it is a really... my emotions are flying all over the place. let's see what happens. do you think he will make a speech? i do not know. nothing is rehearsed. i have to say something. i whirlwind of emotions. i hope it is ok. it's 6:10. aweek a week ago president trump banned citizens from seven mainly in muslim states from entering the country. this morning there was a challenge to the ban. just explain to us what

this means? can people get on planes and land on the us that could not before? we are hearing that the government is complying with the order and it should mean that people could get on planes but i would emphasise what the court did today was temporarily blocked until it had a chance to look at the issue more closely. we are hearing the government will appeal and tried to stop government will appeal and tried to sto p eve n government will appeal and tried to stop even this temporary release. it remains to be seen what will happen but it is a welcome development. we have looked at the executive order at another court has found it unlawful. the federal courts are standing up to the president and re—emphasising that in the us the

law is paramount and even the president must obey a. you are saying it is temporary. is it long enough people to get into the country or could this change again in the next 12 — 2a hours? country or could this change again in the next 12 - 24 hours? it is possible. there should be a couple of days where people could get here but what happens after that remains to be seen. this government is saying they will take an emergency appeal and tried to block the court order. it is too soon to know exactly how long. we are hoping the appeals court will not take action and leave the injunction in place to allow people to come full while but it remains to be seen what the federal court will do. we are in for a long and a long protracted federal court will do. we are in for a long protracted legal matter. what

will happen next? i think we will see an emergency appeal. i think a lot of groups will file grief to make clear to the appeals court that the odd up was discriminatory and legislate on the basis on the basis of religion which is against the constitution. the appeals will have to make the decision whether to uphold the lower court. if that happens, we are hopeful the us government will comply and allow to follow the ultimate legality of the law. it could take many months. thank you very much for your time, that was a civil right lawyer. let's take a look at this morning's papers: we saw the rise in energy bills.

hiking electricity eyeing 15% and the gas prices will rise by 4.5%. annual bills with in power set to go up. —— npower. annual bills with in power set to go up. -- npower. barry gardner, the shadow international secretary —— trade secretary, allegations he received funds linked to the chinese. he is saying everything was declared openly and negate any

wrongdoing. you are watching brea kfast. wrongdoing. you are watching breakfast. the main stories:... an americanjudge has issued a temporary nationwide block on president donald trump's ban on travellers from seven mainly muslim countries. labour is vowing to "close the gap" between public funding in the north and south of england and end the "bias" it says there has been in transport investment. also coming up in the programme: find out how robots are helping humans work up a sweat when the click team check out the latest gadgets designed for big and small kids at the london toy fair. don't get to go there any more. i used to love that as a broadcast, doing it from the toy fair. i used to ride around the venue. but have a look at the weather forecast. nick's there.

seems like this for some of us over the next few days. some frosty mornings and a chilly feel this weekend and some of us will get to see some sunshine. there is the risk of some fog, especially tomorrow morning, compared with this morning. looking at the big digit, you may be drawn to this low pressure producing stormy weather in france. it will hit south—east england, with outbreaks of rain. low pressure giving hills no pushing northwards through scotland, becoming confined to the northern scotland. gales through the north, north—east and northern isles. southern scotland will try to knock. northern ireland has a few showers in the west. there are scattered showers in wales, north—west england, south—west england, which will tend to fade. we will get sunshine and there's low pressure in france. a glancing blow for south—east england and in the east anglia. that should cater for the possibility of it clearing the

wave in the afternoon. —— clearing away. rain pulling away from eastern parts of england. a fair amount of dry and sunny weather to come. temperatures 5— nine celsius. later more showers coming back in western parts. the six nations rug be back in action. twickenham will be under clear skies this evening and it will turn chilly. into this evening we have this rain moving through south—west england, wales, pushing into the midlands. for wales and north—west england it could fall as snow on high ground and temperatures dip away again, so the risk of icy patches. apache fog developing as well and it could mean more cloud around tomorrow for england and wales, compared with today. where any fog lingers, and it could do, it will be a cold day. dry in northern ireland and a sunnier day in scotland. temperatures again will be

in single figures. fairly chilly this weekend, most of us will get at least one fine day. 0ne fine day, that's good to hear! time now for the film review. this week, mark kermode joins ben brown to guide us through this week's cinema releases, including loving, gold and the german comedy toni erdmann. hello, and a warm welcome to the film review on bbc news, and taking us through this week's cinema releases is mark kermode. mark, what delights do you have for us this week? well, we are, as you know, in awards season, so we have loving, an oscar—nominated drama. we have gold, the new film starring matthew mcconaughey. and toni erdmann, oscar—nominated two—and—three—quarter—hour german comedy.

i look forward to hearing what you have to say about that. loving first of all — a true story about a couple who helped change the law in america. it is a true story, absolutely. ruth negga is up for a best actress 0scar for her portrayal of mildred, the pregnant bride of richard loving. this is in the 19605 in virginia. the couple get married in washington, dc, because there is less paperwork. they come back to start building their home only to be arrested, imprisoned, and forced to leave the state, which does not agree with their marriage. they are not allowed to be married. and so they have to move away. they write a letter to bobby kennedy and this gets passed onto the aclu. despite the fact that they are very private people, and the film is a keen to point out how much they wanted to keep themselves to themselves, the next thing they know they find themselves in the middle of a battle which is going from court to court, and apparently all the way to the supreme court.

here is a clip. you go to the virginia state court next, right? yes. are you nervous? i suppose. the lawyers told us not to expect much. you think you'll lose? well, yes. but i think it's all right. we may lose the small battles but win the big war. michael shannon there is the photojournalist grey villet, and ruth negga, brilliant as mildred loving. what i really like about this film is that it is basically a love story between these two people, who are ordinary people finding themselves in extraordinary circumstances, and they didn't really want to be part of something that became a huge nationwide case. whatjeff nichols does — and in the past he has directed take shelter and mud, he resists any form of grandstanding. as the story goes on it becomes apparent this is a really

important case which will have really significant effects. but he keeps us focused on them and their relationship. it is hard to remember the last time a film... i mean, the opportunities for grandstanding — in the courtroom, banging tables — are so many. and yet he doesn't do that. he keeps his focus on them as the central couple. and joel edgerton is actually terrific as richard loving. and he keeps it small scale, which means that as the larger machinations happen, you stay focused on the central couple and their relationship. you believe in them, you care about them and invest in them. and it becomes that most brilliant of things, a very personal story that tells a much wider message, but doesn't feel the need to wave... it is very apparent what is going on through the detail, through a scene in which they hold hands, in the car, through a scene in which he talks about his dream for building their home. i thought it was very well played and very well made, and admirably understated. that is a rarity nowadays. let's move on now to gold. not understated.

0k. it has been compared to wolf of wall street. matthew mcconaughey, great actor. put on a load of weight, i think, for this, didn't he? yeah and, in a way, you have basicallyjust done the review there. laughter so that's it. i think the wolf of wall street or, you know, a sheep in wolf of wall street's clothing is the better way of explaining it. so matthew mcconaughey plays a central character who runs a mining company, on hard times. he decides to invest all his money in a dig in indonesia. they strike gold, the next thing you know champagne corks are popping, the stocks are going up, and this can only end one way. and there are moments in it which seem specifically to refer to wolf of wall street, but it doesn't have anything like the dazzle of that film. what you do see, yes, matthew mcconaughey, as you say, he seems to have put on a lot of weight and lost a lot of hair, and he looks genuinely bedraggled in certain scenes. but that's not enough for the film. for the film you need to be involved in the character, in the story, and not keep thinking, "i have seen this done before

"and better elsewhere." i did spend an awful lot of it thinking, you know, this is a kind of showcase for that performance. and that's not enough to build a film on. you keep expecting it to kick in and engage your sympathies, it never does. it's got all the potential but, in the end, it isjust a bit... meh. and, i confess, a little bit boring. yeah, because he was in dallas buyers club and so brilliant. no, he is a really really good performer. but itjust doesn't work in this movie? the film itself is only as good as the script. originally the script was apparently pitched as treasure of the sierra madre. to which i can only say, yeah — in its dreams. all right, so that's gold — not 24 carat, i think, is what you're saying. absolutely not. let's move on to toni erdmann, a german comedy, which might not appeal to a lot of our viewers, but convince us. ok, so, sandra huller is the star and she's absolutely brilliant. a career woman with a rather soul crushing job working for a consultancy firm,

working for an oil company, and she's on business in bucharest. she is very distant from her father winfried, played by peter simonischek. he suddenly turns up on her doorstep, apparently to give her a present. she humours him, sympathises with him about the death of the dog, then says, "now it's time to leave". but he doesn't leave. what he does is he puts on a wig and false teeth and reappears as toni erdmann, turning up at her business meetings, amongst herfriends, insisting to all her colleagues that he is a life coach, a businessman, an ambassador. whatever he is, he is an embarrassment to her. here's a clip. you can see from that it is a very painful form of comedy. if you think about a vintage episode of the office or abigail's party, that kind of humour which is excruciating. on one level it's a satire about europe. on another it's a warning about globalisation. it's also to some extent about a battle between 60s hippy idealism and optimism, and 21st—century cynicism.

but at the centre it's a tragi—comedy about an estrangement between a father and a daughter, in which a father is deperately reaching out to contact her, but doing so in a way which is completely inappropriate and really awkward. and at times you laugh, at times you want to cry. at times you want to bury your face in your jumper because it's so embarrassing. there's one sequence which involves a rendition of the song the greatest love of all. i cannot remember having glowed with embarrassment so much. but the best thing about it is it's written and directed by maren ade, who does a brilliant job of getting exactly the right moment. as i said, she is superbly aided by these great performances. sandra huller in particular never puts a single foot wrong. you sit there marvelling at the changes of tone, the way in which it is melancholic and poignant, it is awkward and painful, but it's also funny and cruel and yet tender and loving. and it's nothing that you would expect from when you hear the description of it,

which is that it's a nearly three—hour comedy about a bloke with a wig and false teeth annoying his daughter. it's a really, really fine piece of work. i know it will not be for everybody, but i just loved it. toni erdmann. sold. thank you very much. let's go to best out, mark, which is t2 trainspotting. yes. danny boyle said it's the scottish star wars. yeah, he was talk about how trainspotting had become sort of an institution and how they had an awful lot to live up to with this sequel. i think they've done it rather brilliantly. it catches up with the characters 20 years later. it has a melancholy middle—aged malaise to it. it's really well directed, i think he is a very fine director. it's a very good script byjohn hodge. the lovely thing about the film is it kind of seems to be designed for people who grew up with trainspotting. my only question would be i don't know what it would be like if you weren't of an age when you saw trainspotting the first time around.

is it one for the kids? teenagers? hey, what do i know about teenagers? i'm 78. i think if you hadn't seen the first one it wouldn't make any sense, but then why would you not want to have not seen the first one? it's one of the greatest british movies of the last 50 years. all right. best dvd? de palma. a documentary about brian de palma, who made carrie, dressed to kill, body double, that kind of thing. in it, he accounts for himself and his films. what's interesting is he is pretty much the sole interview. he's been accused of being a misogynist, of ripping off hitchcock, and he is a terrific speaker. he's very irascible. he says, you know, "people say i rip of hitchcock — i do, but i am the only director who properly rips off hitchcock. i am the only properly hitchcockian director around." it's a really interesting piece of work, made with great affection, and great authority. because nobody knows brian de palma's work better than brian de palma. whatever you think about his films, it is a really interesting time in the company with someone who, for better or worse, is very singular and has cut their own path regardless of what anyone else has said.

i suppose he's not a household name to many people. it depends. if you are a genre fan, which i am, then he is absolutely a household name. but i think he is not a name that is... people say the only recognisable names are spielberg and kubrick. but he has an extraordinary career. he has made massive hit movies, and movies that have gone straight to dvd. mark, thank you very much indeed, as ever. a quick reminder before we go that you'll find more film news and reviews from across the bbc online at bbc.co.uk/film. and you can catch up with our previous programmes on bbc iplayer. that's it for this week, though. thank you very much for watching. goodbye. hello, this is breakfast with charlie stayt and steph mcgovern. coming up before 7:00, nick will have the weather but first at 6:30, a summary of this

morning's main news: a federaljudge in the us has temporarily suspended the travel ban imposed by president trump. it means the executive order stopping people from seven mainly muslim countries entering america should be lifted immediately. the white house insists the restrictions are "lawful and appropriate" and it will challenge the court's ruling. judge robart‘s decision puts a halt to president trump's unconstitutional and unlawful executive order. the shadow chancellor, john mcdonnell, will lay out plans this morning for closing what labour calls a gap in public funding between the north of england and the south. in a speech in liverpool, he'll say london and the south east have disproportionately benefited from projects such as the new crossrail train line through the capital. the conservatives say they are spending 13 billion

pounds alone on transport in the north. three past and present workers with the company that puts electronic tags on offenders have been arrested by police investigating the misuse of the devices. the sun newspaper claims the investigation relates to allegations that some staff in london were paid by offenders to deliberately fit the tags too loosely so they could be removed. a spokesperson for the service — which is operated by capita — said it had a policy of zero tolerance against any employees who undermined its work. a man who tried to attack a soldier at the louvre museum with a machete on friday was an egyptian who came to paris on a tourist visa from dubai, according to the french authorities. police are trying to establish if the man acted alone or under instructions. the attacker was critically injured after he was shot by french soldiers in a bid to stop him. there has been a big leap in the number of cancer patients turning to crowdfunding to pay for treatments not available on the nhs. data from justgiving shows the more than £4.5 million was raised

by these appeals in last year compared with just over £500,000 the year before. doctors say the number of patients bypassing the nhs is "very worrying". nhs england says it's investing three hundred and thirty million pounds to improve cancer services. the american football super bowl takes place in houston this weekend but even veteran quarterback tom brady would struggle to make a throw this far. astronauts span a ball down the length of the international space station, which orbits earth at 17,500mph, making the pass more than half a million yards long. the trouble with watching the game from space is that no matter how exciting it gets, there's still no atmosphere. laughter. it is mesmer rising

watching that. —— asthma rising. lovely spend to get it through the 95p~ a huge weekend of sport ahead with the start of rugby union's six nations tournament. who will bring england back down to earth? reigning champions england are out to defend their title and continue their 14 match winning streak. they take on france at twickenham this afternoon but despite their excellent recent record, captain dylan hartley says its all about getting their mental approach right. the concern is, when you prepare so

well, you can be complacent going into a game. we have had a really good week this week at training which is a good thing. a greasy ball, drop walls, keep you on edge. the challenge is now mentally to build up because of the physical work is done. it is all about mental preparation from here on end. so the favourites are ready, but first it's scotland and ireland. that match kicks off this year's tournament at murrayfield. it is an exciting start. ireland are at home, they have beaten australia and south africa. they are not one off games they are winning, they are consistently good team and we get a chance to measure ourselves against them. this one, i can feel nervous as within the group. they know it is as within the group. they know it is a big game and they are ready to

roll their sleeves up. the women's six nations is already up and running. scotland came seconds from securing their first point in nearly seven years last night, but lost out to a last gasp ireland try. scotland just needed to get the ball out of play to seal a 15—15 draw but ireland's jenny murphy crashed over for the game's decisive try. the davis cup tie is level at one all heading into today's double tie. dan all heading into today's double tie. da n eva ns all heading into today's double tie. dan evans is leading the side in the absence of andy murray and shows why he is currently the most improved player. he saw off denis shapovalov in straight games. kyle edmund was in the other game. its another big day

in the premier league with the pick of the days ties kicking off at stamford bridge at lunchtime with leaders chelsea taking on third place arsenal. the gunners are looking to repeat their victory earlier in the season whilst a win for chelsea would take them twelve points clear. we play at home. we have our fans to push a lot and for this reason we wa nt to push a lot and for this reason we want to play a good game. we want to play for a win for sure it will be a really tough game and we must play with attention. the british national cup diving is going on in plymouth this weekend — and olympic champions jack laugher and chris mears marked their return to action — for the first time since rio — with synchronised 3m springboard gold. the pair comfortably won on their first appearance back while laugher also won the individual one metre title. another 0lympic medallist tom daley won the 3 metres springboard synchronised gold with grace reid but was suprisingly beaten in the mixed platform event,

partnering tonia couch. i love watching diving. i did not know they did a mixed diving events. yes. thank you very much. mixed doubles in tennis is well established.. you might remember from yesterday, mike told us he had an exclusive opportunity to play tennis withjo konta and the rest of the fed cup team. and someone else wanted in on the action. yes. i managed tojoin them also, where we spoke to her about her success at the australian open as she put us through our paces. from facing serena williams in a grand slam quarter—final to serving to charlie in a warmup for the fed cup. a fortnight could be a long time especially when she had myself

happens. do you think you will make a speech? i do not know. nothing is rehearsed. i have to say something but i am no good at speeches. i will say something. it is a whirlwind of emotions. i hope it is ok. do you feel immortal? no. i feel lucky emotions. i hope it is ok. do you feel immortal? no. ifeel lucky to be alive but not immortal. i have done some pretty damn crazy stuff in my life. i do not drink, smoke cigarettes or do drugs at all. it has been five years now. you have reached the end of your final ever television interview as a member of black sabbath. god bless you. how does it feel? great. isa does it feel? great. is a real character. he really is. the gig taking place tonight into birmingham.

it's nick with us this morning taking a look at the weather. good morning. a chilly start of the weekend. temperatures close to freezing, just above in many cases, but they're still ice scraping to do ina but they're still ice scraping to do in a couple of spots. more so tomorrow morning it is looking fairly quiet this weekend. not so much in france, with this low pressure producing some stormy weather to begin the day. a glancing blow in south—east england. some of us blow in south—east england. some of us will have rain for a time. another area of low pressure is producing stronger winds and rain and hill snow to start the day in scotland. here is how it looks at nine a.m.. becoming confined to northern scotland this afternoon. gales in the far north and northern isles. southern scotland will brighten up a little bit. clad in northern ireland. some showers in the west. showers in north—west england, wales, some into the

south—west, which will fade for a time and we will get sunshine. all the while we've got dull weather in the while we've got dull weather in the south—east england and east anglia as the glancing blow from the low pressure system takes place. in the —— this afternoon it will edge eastwards and some of us will get the sunshine back before sunset. still the rain and hill snow in northern scotland. a lot of fine weather elsewhere. some sunshine around. temperatures about 5— nine celsius. for the six nations rugby kicking off again, we've got drying up kicking off again, we've got drying up in edinburgh after some early rain. it will turn chilly this evening at twickenham under starry skies and there will be some frost setting in in many places tonight. and the risk of icy patches. this weather system working in from south—west england, into the south—east and the midlands. some outbreaks of rain from vat and hill snow in wales and the midlands adding to the pennines tourism might. it is cold enough for that

and the risk of some icy patches and patchy fog developing. some fog around to start the day tomorrow. it might be slow to clear. more cloud for england and wales. 0r sunshine for england and wales. 0r sunshine for scotland compared to today. it may be dry in northern ireland and temperatures about 5—9 celsius. that's the whole weekend of whether. —— weather. here's click. for decades, scientists all around the world have been trying to create a machine that can match our intelligence. and nowadays artificially intelligent algorithms can perform many tasks much better than us.

for a long time scientists have been using games like chess, drafts and go as benchmark for testing ai. and that's because all these games have a certain amount of unpredictability built into them. namely, their human opponents. but this week the ai community has been celebrating a big win after a poker playing algorithm called liberatus defeated four top human players in a 20 day match of heads up no limit texas hold ‘em poker. i've been using poker as a benchmark for 12 years. now the best ai has surpassed the level of the best humans in the strategic reasoning under imperfect information. but even at this big win is only a little step towards creating a general artificial intelligence. 0ne that's capable of sophisticated thought across a wide spectrum of areas, and solving problems just as well as a human can. it's an incredible time.

and it's very hard to forecast. you know, what can these things do? it's a hard thing to think through, and has really incredible possibilities. but it's...| think it's impossible to forecast accurately. speech has been another big challenge for al researchers. personal assistants and chat bots are becoming more sophisticated, but they so far can't fool us into thinking that they're human. but what if you thought you were talking to another person? konnichiwa. do you speak english? speaks japanese would that make you more likely to trust it? and develop a relationship? well, two researchers at the london school of economics came up with an experiment to see if we would communicate better with al if its messages were delivered to us by a human. they call this computer human hybrid the echoborg. and to explore the concept, jane copestick found herself

becoming an echoborg herself. the echoborg was inspired by research from stanley milgram. he is the professor behind the controversial experiments on obedience in the 1960s, to see if people would deliver electric shocks to others if instructed to buy —— by an authority figure. milgram also studied body perception, to determine if we hold preformed opinions of other people based on their looks. by using hidden earpieces, people could speak someone else's thoughts through their own body. the echoborg has updated this research for the 21st century, to see if people will react better to artificial intelligence. such as the messages from an online chat bot, if they are being delivered by a human. i'm in the first stages of testing this out by becoming an echoborg myself. i'm starting my speech shadowing practice. the first step in becoming a fully fledged echoborg. the professors have told me this process will take at least eight

hours for me to get any good at it. i'm starting my first practice withjk rowling's harvard commencement speech. members of the harvard corporation and the board of overseers... by shadowing speech, i should be able to quickly repeat back the messages from a chat bot so that people won't realise they aren't my own thoughts. it may seem something paradox, but there's horses in the cow... i did something and scuttled somewhere. now, to put it to the test, i'm meeting creator professor alex gillespie at the london school of economics. hello, how are you doing? great to see you, coming. —— come on in. and kevin corti, who called in on skype. so that goes round your neck? that goes around your neck. first step. kevin is using a chat bot called rose, which is not preprogrammed. the most noticeable problem in becoming a convincing ai are the delays while rose thinks of a response to the question. where do you come from? i was born in san francisco. really?

in the united states. when were you born? a couple of years ago. just a couple of years ago? are you a chat bot? i'm a human. i thought for a moment you might be a chat bot. republic of ireland and croatia and france. my mother's from ireland. really? a magical place full of rain and crazy people. she says. well... that was... uh...interesting. weird. what you notice is they tend to be quite disconnected. it takes each sentence as a stand—alone sentence. some of them will speak like they are artificial intelligence, and some will pretend not to be. so this one's pretending not to be? yes, although last time i spoke to it it said it was artificial intelligence. oh, it's confused.

our final test for the echoborg was to bring it on stage in front of an audience of several hundred people at the bbc future conference in australia. a question a lot of humans find difficult, what is the capital of australia? canberra. 0k, good. and what is 235 multiplied by 676? i think it's 158,860. that's pretty impressive. here and now, how do i know you're human, how do you know i'm human? because i believe. you believe? because i appreciate beauty. because people saw me in the room. go ask them. in fact, some of the audience members were fooled. one thought it was a real conversation with a human, not an artificial intelligence. it was based on my appearance.

some people thought you didn't want to talk about artificial intelligence. that you were trying to avoid the question, they really thought you were trying to avoid the questions. someone even said, had it been a man would it have been perceived differently? i think so. without becoming fully fledged echoborgs, we are already giving a voice to artificial intelligence everyday. through the algorithms guiding our news consumption, to our shopping habits and online searches. we're bringing al to life more and more. projects like the echoborg let us reflect on what this means for our ai future and perhaps even what it means to be human. where are the gadgets? 0h, play time was never like this in my day.

i've been taking a look at some of the latest toys hoping to light up the faces of children and grown—ups. and, inevitably, a few of them could be found at london's toy fair. this looks like a drone in a cage and that's because it is. it's also a proof of concept for a toy that's going to be available later this year. its inventor here is wearing this glove, which means you can control it via gestures. let's take a look at what it can do. i can catch it! it all looks pretty simple, but i know you've been studying robotics for 15 years, so there's quite a bit more to this than meets the eye, isn't there? yes, absolutely. once the science of gestures has been codified, and that's what we've been able to do, as you can imagine we can bring out all sorts of robotic toys

and consumer devices. the brain itself is in the glove, it's in the circuitry and electronics and the algorithms embedded in the glove. the drone is merely a conduit for the gestures being recorded on the hand. there was also a clear trend towards giving kids a deeper level of control when it comes to toy gadgets. this is a robot that aims to help kids learn to code. they can operate it manually via the app, or setup sequences of the functions they'd like it to carry out. as you can see, it looks pretty raw where you've got all these leads and buttons, so it really is giving kids a chance to develop something. i also recently got my hands on a drone that kids can programme, spending time tweaking code at a computer or using drag and drop blocks. ijust had a play around with some of the drone's functions, so maybe that shows who the real kid is. first of all i press w, which should get the drone up and running. this is a spot of that well—known activity —

drone bowling. and back a bit. we need to go down....ah! down, other way round! oh, no, no, back. oh yeah! yes, the skittles are down here on the floor. the bowling is here, and i've done it! it's notjust about flying, though, you may want to do a bit of driving. to do that, you swap the wings for wheels. last year we learned quite how much of an appetite there was for augmented reality in gaming. so how about adding a robot to the mix? and give the big kids a chance for some play, too. there's the enemy. if i can turn around quickly enough... 0h! i'm just trying to turn around.

i'm going to shoot. that's it...and i've hit. this gaming robot, much like virtual avatars, becomes stronger as you use it. it's also customisable and upgradable, with the ability to add wheels or even take on another robot in the room. or if you want to get yourself moving, how about a personal training robot? this prototype has limited functionality, but still managed to put me through my paces. not that it fought too hard when i decided i'd had enough. that's it for the short version of click. the full—length version is ready and

waiting on iplayer right now and you can waiting on iplayer right now and you ca n follow waiting on iplayer right now and you can follow us on twitter for gossip. we live —— thanks for watching and see you we live —— thanks for watching and see you soon. hello this is breakfast, with charlie stayt and steph mcgovern. a usjudge orders a temporary stop for president trump's ban on travellers from seven mainly muslim countries. the president's controversial order is overturned by a court in seattle meaning the ban has been suspended across the united states. judge robart's decision, effective immediately, effective now, puts a halt to president trump's unconstitutional and unlawful executive order.
