it is half past one in the morning. you are watching bbc news. the latest headlines: britain is warned that the next stage of negotiations about britain's future relationship with the eu will be harder after the two sides reached a deal on the terms of the uk's departure. it provides for britain to pay a financial settlement, as well as agreeing to keep the irish border open and protect eu citizens' rights. palestinians have held protests in 30 towns and cities in the gaza strip and the occupied west bank, to protest against the us decision to recognisejerusalem as israel's capital. one palestinian is reported to have been shot dead. president trump has declared a state of emergency in the state of california where wildfires have destroyed hundreds of buildings. three firefighters have been injured and about 500 buildings destroyed. almost 200,000 people have left their homes in southern california. as always, there is a lot more

online. you can get in touch with me and some of the team on social media. duncan will be here at two o'clock. now on bbc news, click. this week, a full body of key‘s favourites. a future head of state, and a bare bottom. —— gives' favourites. today we are in manchester, at the children's global media summit, a meeting of those who make the content that our children will be watching in the coming years. it is

an event with some very important speakers. parents, like catherine and me, are raising the first generation of digitally immersed children. and that gives us many reasons to be optimistic about the impact of technology on childhood. and before the duke of cambridge gave his speech to the audience, i managed to grab a quick interview with one of the most talked about couples in the country. how are you finding the conference so far? because, to be honest, my kids get more about the staff of the third test a hotel than at the palace that the behind the scenes. this will shape the kind of content that children will watch in the future and how content providers will meet the expectations of the next generation of viewers. forget the generation of viewers. forget the generation x, generation y, and generation x, generation y, and generation z, you are all over the hill, we are now talking about generation u, the unlimited

generation. today's children will grow up expecting unlimited access to information and entertainment on demand. the big names are here seeking to educate by taking classes on virtual field trips. under the water in a coral reef. if you want to know what children are up to, why not ask them? kids split was inside i’u ns not ask them? kids split was inside runs anonymous questionnaires for 400 kids every week to gather data about the latest trends, hottest new characters, and online habits. because it is not all about what kids need, there is a big industry that wants to make money here and target those young minds with m essa 9 es target those young minds with messages and merchandise. we do find surprising the amount of children that are viewing youtube without any pa rental that are viewing youtube without any parental guidance or oversight. we find it is probably about one third, maybe less than one third of under tens who are not having their perras monitor what they are watching on

youtube. it is quite shocking. that is also if india. how to protect children from harmful content and stop them being exploited by the increasingly personal, interactive, and immersive technology is that they are using. i believe strongly in the positive power of technology, but i'm afraid i find the situation alarming. meyler does not come from childhood immersion in technology, per se, my al ahram comes from the fa ct per se, my al ahram comes from the fact that so many parents have added your make up the rules as they go along —— my alarm. we have the most powerful information technology in human history into the hands of our children. yet we do not yet understand its impact on adults, let alone at the very young. it is a massive concern for many parents, but there are moves to try and make children more savvy about online safety. as lara lewington found out when she went back to school. the opportunity for kids to access information and learn has never been

bigger. but with that comes a challenge. the threats online are clear to see. but an increasing number of children are becoming aware of the dangers and how to steer clear. never click on a link in an e—mailunless steer clear. never click on a link in an e—mail unless you are absolutely sure who it is from. basically, these are how many attackers are coming in because the firewall is off. this week an investigation into paedophiles using live streaming apps led to nearly 200 arrests, including... including teachers, medics, and law enforcers. a batch of leading brands are suspended advertising from youtube after suspect comments remained beside videos featuring children. this is not long after the site hit the headlines when its algorithm —— algorithms were found to be pulling inappropriate content into its kids out, which was then viewed by children. of course the company says it does all they can. age

restricting content in the main app as well is aiming to protect those using youtube kids altogether. in light of the most recent issues, it is also adding an extra 10,000 moderators to act alongside the softwa re moderators to act alongside the software aiming to keep kids safe. but with such a wealth of information out there, who can actually be held accountable for what is published? first and foremost the tech companies themselves need to be held accountable. and i mean at the ceo level. all of these platforms have an enormous responsibility to the kids and families in their audience, because they are making billions of dollars of them. second, we also need to see some kind of regulation that off, or others could provide that off, or others could provide that would say this is appropriate or not on these platforms. because if you think the tech companies will self regulate, then you are kidding yourself. parents have a huge role to play. it is not so much that you can say it is the industry's

problem, but as a parent you need to educate yourself. this is the same as teaching your kids how to walk across the street and not get hit by across the street and not get hit by a car. and this is really the what they are living in. but at the same time the benefits of this sort of online access can't be ignored. hirakthis online access can't be ignored. hirak this central london school, pupils are taking part in idea, the digital and enterprise version of the duke of edinburgh award. what are you up the duke of edinburgh award. what are you up to? the challenges are open and free to all ages to provide realise skills will stop and they can be done anywhere, any time. the pupils here at westminster academy are covering a range of subjects, including creating virtual reality, the importance of colour in photography... it is the different types of carlisle. —— colours. you would reduce the hue and saturation. as well are some of the more serious issues surrounding safety online.

what are the main things you feel you have come away from the server having learned? for all my devices use either the same password. if the hackers new one of my passwords they would be able to get anything. so i learned that and i tried to change my password is everything, even the school website. so i am just going to carry on with the badge. are there any negatives you feel from there any negatives you feel from the fact that everything is out there and available? you just have to be careful of false news. there are always these clickbait articles that pop up. i have realised it does not really sound right. it is a new problem, really, the fake news issue. how do you see this will play out in the future? with you always bea out in the future? with you always be a bit wary when you resubmit as to whether it is true or not? undoubtably. at that is one massive advantage of having it. we have become more critical as a society. we are less likely to be susceptible. it is notjust about

whether or not you have done gcse computer science, it is about can you actually manipulate or apply the knowledge? so what we're to do, and do it in such a way that they have the opportunity of learning at themselves, was at the centre making themselves, was at the centre making them aware of the dangers and pitfalls that we'll see —— while at the same time. over 100,000 of these bronze awards have been achieved. the silver to be released next april. and in a world where fake news has dominated the headlines, targeting us on what to think or buy, there will be a category called critical thinking, focusing onjust that. it will teach the importance of how to substantiate, verify, and trust sources. and at the children's global media summit, the bbc also announced a scheme teaching how to avoid fake news. up to 1000 secondary schools and sixth forms in uk will take part, with mentoring in

how to sift out fact from fiction. but the real news right now is that while there may still be a way to go for things to be totally safe online, kids are becoming more aware and maybe at some point soon will be the ones educating the grown—ups. you see, it is... how can you see, it is so small. yes, i have finished the badge. how are you feeling? this year marks ten years since kenyans started using mobile money, that has transformed the lives of millions of people, allowing access to financial transaction services in even the most remote parts of the country. mobile money is linked to your phone number and allows those without a bank account and make payments via text message. even if poorest can top up as little as ten shillings, that is the equivalent of

ten us cents. what has been interesting is the infrastructure and services that have developed off the back of is mobile money payments. kate russell went to the slums of nairobi to meet a young family who are benefiting from the latest feature to be linked to the platform. almost half of nairobi's 6 million people living in slums. there existed a daily grind to put food and even water on the table. —— their existence. the vast majority of kenyans don't have any health insurance. and in areas like this, or where the poorest are often overlooked in society live, finding enough money to pay for basic healthcare can fall pretty low on the list of priorities. susan lives in this slum, the whole family, including four kids, sharing a single room. despite this trouble, she has made a commitment to save money for her baby's healthcare using electronic wallet m—pesa.

translation: windy day for me to go to the clinic came, i had managed to save 210 shillings. i was able to use that for my treatment. i chipped my account balance and found that it was taking care of by a bonas out of my savings. the money remained in intact. i was motivated to save more and more and saving up for my maternity fee. the service runs on a m—pesa. it encourages people to save by offering bonas credit for savings and ring—fencing funds to be spent only on healthcare services from one of the country's 6000 registered clinics -- of the country's 6000 registered clinics —— bonas credit. of the country's 6000 registered clinics -- bonas credit. we have seen the numbers of people not affording to pay for healthcare going down, because we encourage them to users. we see about 500 kids ina them to users. we see about 500 kids in a month. that is compared to

about 100 children a month we were seeing. previously when they got sick what did they do? you would see, most of them, they would probably use a self—medication or some of them are just wait until it is too late. when they go to the hospital probably the condition has gone so far away. susan's sister—in—law works as a hairdresser in the city. she wanted to help out with the new baby's medical expenses. and m—tiba allowed her to tra nsfer expenses. and m—tiba allowed her to transfer money from her own three wallet. translation: we chose m-tiba because of its benefits. for example, if you save and hit a target of 100 shillings in a month, you get a bonus of 50 shillings. that is why we preferred m—tiba, because also there is no savings limit. in just over one year, m—tiba has gained over one year, m—tiba has gained over1 million users and processed more than 100 million shillings of medical transactions. but it is also

collecting data that can help clinics like olive link plan a better provision of service and stop when funding and storage space is limited. right now we get some very good aggregated data, in terms of people's health utilisation habits, even transaction data, how much does treating maybe a malaria case cost? this helps a lot even in planning and also at policy level, because then we are able to influence the politicians of our country. susan is just one of many kenyans who have realised the importance of preventative care through the targeted incentives and advice offered by m—tiba. targeted incentives and advice offered by m-tiba. susan is like many others out there, previously they have not always had this tool to be able to plan and put some money aside for their healthcare, but now, with their mobile phone, they are able to do this. hello, welcome to the week in tech.

it was the week pokemon go announced it would be adding weather effects to mimic the real world, and plans for sad poop 0g were flushed away. and facebook released a new chat app for children under 13. messenger kids has parental controls and facebook says it will not collect data or display ads on the service. critics warn it could get kids addicted sooner. plans to launch robot taxis in japan. addicted sooner. plans to launch robot taxis injapan. they addicted sooner. plans to launch robot taxis in japan. they will be summoned via an hourfrom march next year. and electric black cabs were launched in london in an attempt to improve air quality. however, some say the extra £10,000 cost to buy one may put cabbies of going green. over 31 million users' data was lea ked over 31 million users' data was leaked after a third—party

smartphone keyboard app left a database without password protection. it allowed access to phone numbers, e—mail addresses and text typed using the keyboard. and finally, the mona lisa has been recreated on a microscopic scale, using a process called dna origami. the technique folds a long strand of dna into a set shape and has previously been used to create a miniscule version of starry night by vincent van gogh off. and here is what i made earlier. back at the children's global media summit, we are talking about the future of storytelling, and which technologies content makers and commissioners might be using to capture children's attention in the future. will it be vr? will it be interactive stories? will it be narrative is driven by artificial intelligence? after the panel, i caught up with one of my guests, the creative director fulvia

at visual effects house frame store. vr is so immersive, you can tackle these big issues. but there is also a danger with children. they are glued to their phones and tv is but to stick them in such an immersive environment, what do you have to think about? there are so many things. when it comes to kids that ata number of things. when it comes to kids that at a number of characters we have to think about and we have to be cautious with what we are doing. there is an age limit on headsets, it is 13 plus, and that is there for a reason. when we are designing an experienced our audience it is about understanding our audience and understanding our audience and understanding how long and experience should be. because they get uncomfortable after a while. does it affect their behaviour? does it affect their interaction? and i think all of those things we take into consideration. and part of why we are working with goldsmith is we wa nt to we are working with goldsmith is we want to tackle those issues head—on in terms of a great vr experience. an amazing story can actually do a lot of good. and so we are bringing

the art in the science together. what kind of via projects are you working on for children, at framestore? we recently worked with warner brothers and jk rowling on fantastic beasts and where to find them. that is an audience that sta rts them. that is an audience that starts with three —year—olds, that love the wizard in world, all the way the 80—year—old grandparents. and ultimately what great storytelling about this —— is about is taking someone to the heart of the story, and that is really, really powerful. is it more than just vr, though? are we fooling ourselves to think that the future of storytelling is virtual reality? there are many other technologies, should we be thinking about all of those? since the time of cavemen we have been wired to tell stories. what is happening with the is it becomes another medium, another platform on which to tell a story. it is never going to replace a book, it is never going to replace going

to the movies and watching an amazing star wars film with your pa rents. amazing star wars film with your parents. it is never going to happen. but what it does allow us, as storytellers, as artists, as directors, is a blank canvas. another canvas to help engage people. i mean, why do we tell stories? we want to somebody another world. we want to bring to light. we wa nt to world. we want to bring to light. we want to scare them, we want to educate them. all of that is storytelling, and what vr allows us this amazing new platform that has a profound affect on how we feel. so vr adds this new layer of excitement. and i think it is part of the future of storytelling. it is not the future, it is part of the future. here is a nice little ar app for kids. you download and print off your favourite character from cbeebies, colour it in however you like, and then you pick up your ta blets, like, and then you pick up your tablets, and look. there is the duck. you can draw other characters

as well. for example, here is my favourite, who has the power and the speed, and she zooms away. not that iamafan or speed, and she zooms away. not that i am a fan or anything. and from some pretty decent visual effects they are to some absolutely top of they are to some absolutely top of the range visual effects now, in the form of one of the biggest films of the year, paddington two. don'tjust ta ke the year, paddington two. don'tjust take my word for it. ask rotten tomatoes, where it scored 100%. we sat down with the man who is responsible for bringing paddington from peru to the big screen, for a world exclusive look at how he did it. parents, spoiler alert. we are about to take paddington a part. what's this? this is london. one of the key areas that we began with his pre— visualisation, it is working in an extremely low five fashion, to be

able to practically explore camera angles, moves, using... working with animators who have a familiarity with paddington himself. filming without paddington, it makes the process extremely abstract, that's for sure. and so we employ a variety of techniques. for the best part, there is a stand—in called lauren who is about paddington's height, and she will give us, everyone on the set, a brilliant insight into paddington's presence. you don't wa nt to paddington's presence. you don't want to make the work in post very difficult or expensive by having to paint blots out, so you try and minimise what is in the place of paddington on the shot. i think the things that are most difficult i wear paddington is interacting with objects or people in the plate. so you always need somebody to do that, to create either the, you know, touch the cloth that is going to be

touched. there is statistic that if you put all the man hours together it would be 75 years of someone's life to do all the visual effects on paddington, so that sort of gives you a bit of perspective. on how much work is involved. fundamental was that he lives in... that you would believe him, he had to be hyperrealistic, he had to live in a real space. you know, we are always very careful to not reveal too much whites of the eyes, to have eyes that sort of look too cartoony. to contain all the gestures. often an animator will first pick up paddington and they will go for very obvious statements, and paddington is not about that. you take it all away, it is all in what is absolutely necessary, and it is a sort of small shift of the brow here, and a dart that that tells you here, and a dart that that tells you he is thinking. and i think, you know, once you get into that, the small, then you can start engineering these sort of...

carefully placing these sort of beats. that is when it starts to feel genuine, and live and breathe asa feel genuine, and live and breathe as a real character, and something that you can hopefully fall in love with. the train chase obviously is a particular set piece, was inordinately complicated. but even within the prison, you know, the ceilings have been extended, and the atrium. there is a huge amount of set extension, when we are lifting off in the balloon, and he is escaping with knuckles, the entire prison exterior is a fabrication thatis prison exterior is a fabrication that is cgi. simple little scenes like the one where he travels through the prison, it is transforming, and you are seeing his effect on the place on and everyone is making cakes, that was a massively complicated sequence, because of the very partisan sort of way in which we wanted to make this prison transform and that sort of

michel gondry like musical appearance to all the things. it took many, many... a lot of planning, with many passes on motion control, back and forwards, an exploration of what would work, doing things on and off. almost infinite possibility, that we needed to play through. but no, there is a lot of augmentation, always through the film. i think probably almost every shot you could point to something and go, ok, well, that photograph has been inserted in that frame and that sky has been changed there, or that reg didn't exist, you know. and there is a lot of that stuff, all very understated. ow. thank you, mr brown. and that's it from the children's global media summit. did you enjoy it, dm? yes,

me too. don't forget we live on twitter and on facebook where you can find all the latest tech news throughout the week. thanks for watching, and we will see you soon. hello there, good morning. friday was a cold day for all of us, but large parts of the uk stayed dry and sunny. we got some heavy snow showers in northern ireland and into scotland, a covering of snow across parts of wales, and the west midlands, north—west midlands, into western parts of birmingham, badly affected by the early snowfall too. now, there's still some snow falling through the night and into the morning, but it's not as widespread, it's not as heavy. but, with the frost more widespread, icy conditions could be more of a problem into saturday morning.

we start with some wintry showers, possibly moving away from wales, but heading more into the north—west of england. a few wintry showers perhaps for northern ireland, more likely to get some snow across northern scotland. many places will have a dry day. it'll be a sunny day. we'll see cloud increasing in the south—west, signs of some rain. here we've got the highest temperatures, but a cold day across the uk. winds not as strong, so may not feel quite as cold. but we have drawn down colder air across our shores, and coming into the cold air, well, we saw it briefly in the far south—west, there's some wetter weather from these weather systems. and that brings problems as we head overnight into sunday. so very cold, very quickly, on saturday evening. wet weather coming in from the south—west quickly turns to snow, perhaps for northern ireland, more especially for wales, the midlands, perhaps into east anglia, and moving northwards into northern england. and it's across these central areas that we have the amber snow warning

from the met office. ten centimetres widely, perhaps more on higher grounds. the worst of it comes later in the night and early on sunday morning. although snow may continue into the afternoon, it becomes much lighter, probably turning drier across northern ireland. dry and cold across most of scotland. certainly cold underneath that snow mix there, but across the southern parts of england and wales, it does become milder. sunshine and heavy showers, and some strong winds too. so some snow again on sunday. it tends to peter out later on in the day, but there's a storm coming in from the atlantic. that will bring some stormy winds into parts of spain and france, and that deep area of low pressure having an impact on our shores. it's the south—eastern half of the uk that's more likely to get rain, heavy rain, some really strong winds. there's the risk of some snow, with that undercut of cold airstillaround. lots to play for on monday. that system moves away, and things calm down a bit on tuesday. most places will be dry and bright, but still cold.
