a of a bit of a lot of ”if? once a world—renowned hay festival. once a small town of books hailed wide in... hosts thousands of visitors. hay is a great place to hear from walters, scientists and big thinkers and when you done all that, you can come and see us and when you done all that, you can come and see us too “— and when you done all that, you can come and see us too —— authors. for the third year in a row we've been asked to show off some cool tech in front of a live audience. of course, we turned some into communist vladimir lenin using vr. why wouldn't we? do you feel like you're their? year. i can turn round and i can see everything, i've got a whole room. we play mind games with dog that... even though you know it's the wrong way round, i cannot help

seeing that this is going the wrong way. another faces popping out but actually it's the back end of the mouse. i was put on the spot with a challenge that gave me shivers and flashbacks to my mastermind appearance. oh, god! oh my god! what does the g is stand for in gdpr? greg, it is general! the island of tuvalu, which lies in the pacific ocean, midway between hawaii and australia, is located at which popular domain popular with television channels. dot tv. then there was click‘s very own painted did shout the game that we call fever, as one half of the audience tried to push the other wind off a seesaw. tried to push the other wind off a seesaw. it's controlled using image

and speech recognition. to make sense of all the waggling and yelling, you know. were going to move on now and look at a piece of technology which aims to help blind people to navigate anywhere better. many blind people have fantastic spatial awareness that at events like these and at things that will catch you out. gary o'donoghue's been testing a new pair of glasses in washington, dc. excuse me, could you show me down the steps do you think? yes. thank you very much. very sweet of you. you having a good day? strangers often ask me how i cope with being blind. what i tell them is most of the time it's just a bit inconvenient. some of the time it's a bloody nuisance, and every now and again it's a total pain in the you

know where. it's not so much that stuff is impossible to do, it's just it takes a lot longer, all you have to ask for other people's help, so what if there were a pair of eyes you could call up at the touch of a button with a little help of some wea ra ble button with a little help of some wearable technology like this? hey, owen, how are you doing —— erin. i'm in washington, dc on the national mall right by the reflecting pool. this is one of washington's most popular tourist spots and even though i've lived here for more than three years, i've never been able to experience this walk alone, but that just changed. of course you have the reflecting pool on your right hand side and i can see we offer in the distance the washington monument. what's helping me do this is a service called ira. the name, a nod to artificial intelligence, and i'm told something to do with egyptian novel that you. egyptians aside, though, it has a dedicated

smartphone connected to new custom—made glasses with a camera to the lenses with an impressive 120 degrees field of view both horizontally and vertically. tap a button on the phone twice and you're connected to a trained cited agent who gets your video feed. while there are other apps that connects cited help to blind people, it's the combination of the tech and the quality of the agent that makes this feel different. the tasks it can help with can be as simple or as complicated as you want, from booking a car to helping you keep up with your social media presence. as a journalist, want to be able to access all platforms and now i can even independently post instagram. that is spot on, so it looks very centred, c l, oh, vand e. it took mea centred, c l, oh, vand e. it took me a long too... i won't say —— l o

ve. what other things have you been asked to do, give us an idea of the range of things? i think the simple tasks mean the most. pulling expiration dates on the yoghurt in the fridge to really serious things, like describing a daughter's wedding 01’ like describing a daughter's wedding ora like describing a daughter's wedding or a father's funeral. you can see how people were around him? and how the room was set up and what the flowers looked like. the ceremony was beautiful, and to give him access to that information that he typically doesn't have was sad but empowering. the services currently available in america and hasjust launched in canada and australia, with plans to expand to the uk. all the agents work from home and calls are priced per minute of their time. and they're working on a smart assistant that will automate basic like reading a text or identifying

barcodes, so you don't waste minutes there. and in some places like airports, it is free. the airports will sponsor the service to pick up the cost while you're there, and aira draws attorney general of end is around the location so you're not built for the time. every disabled person has their airport horror story —— a geode can. for this bit of tack... story —— a geode can. for this bit oftack... it says scan your documents barcode and go to the leftjust slightly and pause and select. this is actually the back of the receipt advertising for american express and now it's upside down, if you rotate it, perfect. it takes a little while but it's doable, isn't it? that's amazing. there's a bench here on the

right—hand side, you have a narrow path here, then you're going to have a bag on the left and a man on the right, so very narrow path here. i know everyone talks about independence, it's not independence, its choice, the issue is choice. normally when i go to an airport the most you can really ask of someone who is helping you, guiding you through, the most you can really asked of them is to show you where the lewis and possibly buy a bottle of water. after that, you're done. i wa nt to of water. after that, you're done. i want to shop. aira has adopted a subscription model and while the hardware is free, there's a sliding scale for monthly minutes. —— where the loo is. given most blind people are unemployed and those who work often earn less than average age wages, isn't that a bid out of reach for most people? as we saw the financial concerns we went to the businesses and we said these are your customers, can you

to the businesses and we said these are your customers, can you start to pay for the aira service. what we then did was added the guest programme. today you can sign up as a guest forfree programme. today you can sign up as a guest for free and use programme. today you can sign up as a guest forfree and use it in places that you go. with the big breakthrough be getting people like how care, health insurance companies to pay for it? we have active, satan is right now, an estimated 300 million people globally that are blind —— active conversations. everyone should have aira in their hands and have this ability to have insta nt hands and have this ability to have instant access to information any time, anywhere. this is one of a number of things out there to help people with visual impairments get around and identify objects. be my eyes recruits volunteers who you can connect with to interpret your surroundings. microsoft's seeing ai app can do text recognition, ba rcodes app can do text recognition, barcodes and other tasks and research is at caltech have got a new app for blind people. they say it takes advantage of the device's

real—time spatial mapping technology and it uses the hollow lens speaker to give directions. so am i've persuaded? there's to give directions. so am i've persuaded ? there's no to give directions. so am i've persuaded? there's no doubt being able to do even small things at the time of your choosing feels great, but it's still expensive —— so am i persuaded. do i want to show a stranger my bank statement? in the meantime... i'm told there's a little ice cream store not far from where i am. absolutely, let's go exploring. it's about time i got my long—suffering producer a treat. looks good. we've got those here as well! at hay we've been very busy and we met up with helen from the oxford internet institute to discuss digital platforms and her thoughts on where they might go in the future. i think the key positive thing about digital platforms and the fact that we spend so much of our lives on digital platforms, digital data intensive platforms, is the fact that they make, sort of,

small amounts of things, tiny acts of participation in new domain is possible. they make it possible for us possible. they make it possible for us to doa possible. they make it possible for us to do a little bit of politics or start... have a little bit of a business and be a bit of a taxi driver on uber. that has a potentially democratising, equalising effect. you're here at hay not just to equalising effect. you're here at hay notjust to talk equalising effect. you're here at hay not just to talk about the positives, you're here to give us a warning and hopefully some kind of a solution? of course, because the phenomenon i described also applies to bad things. it makes hate speech much more accessible to people who, in an earliertime, much more accessible to people who, in an earlier time, might havejust indulged in dark thoughts in the privacy of their bedrooms. because these platforms are so embedded in our political lives, our social

lives, our economic lives, there is a real need for our institutions, our systems of governance to catch up. is there a solution? i think the situation has got to come... —— solution. it has to be a mark pollock —— multilevel approach. it's about educating at all levels. of users, education of users or education of the companies, saying this is how you should act?|j education of the companies, saying this is how you should act? i was thinking first of all of people, boo weekley gower children the right things and schools? we teach them various skills like how to prepare a cv -- various skills like how to prepare a cv —— do we teach our children. educate the educators. educate the educators, certainly. finally we need to educate the policymakers. forfar need to educate the policymakers. for far too need to educate the policymakers. forfar too long need to educate the policymakers. for far too long policymakers need to educate the policymakers. forfar too long policymakers have been allowed to pollute all along, say, oh, i'm a technophobe, i don't really understand any of that stuff

—— poodle. you can't be a decent legislator, a decent policymaker if you have no understanding of data intensive digital platforms based on algorithms with all that entails. it's not an option any more i think. they should have to do all sorts of tests on their understanding of these things otherwise it can't... you can't be governing effectively. and welcome to the week in tech. it was the week the tate kaesler in autopilot mode crashed into a police car in california, the driver sustained minor injuries after deciding to take a break from the wheel. the catering uses could see a fine if they do not undertake an online safety test before taking to the skies. and virgin galactic has completed its second supersonic test

flight completed its second supersonic test flight in two months. yet again sparking talk that an out of this world trip could be edging closer. if you are a street performer, london may be the place to be. buskers in the city can accept payment via contactless as well as small change. thanks to a partnership between usk in london and the now paypal own swedish tech firm by zettle. wonder if it is worth installing solder panels? or‘s project aims to help homewares in the uk find out what savings they can make. it combines machine learning with google earth and maps data on the local weather information and pretty features like the angle of your roof. and finally, ever wondered how tight compression bandage should be? engineers at mit have created a colour changing one to help. i transmitting fibres are woven into a conventional bandage causing it to change colour according to the pressure levels.

probably not so great if you are colour blind, though. the hay festival is a place to share ideas, to collaborate, and to think about the future. one project which debuted this year was transmission from the uk's natural environment research council. leading scientists we re research council. leading scientists were paired with award—winning artist to create works that would shed light on the science. children's author and illustrator chris horton works with climate scientist doctor emily shuttra to create an animation looking at her work and provide a warning on climate change. over time, this land packs together, it crashes under its own weight so tightly that it becomes solid ice. but it isn't com pletely becomes solid ice. but it isn't completely solid, it contains tiny bubbles. the research base, they haveice bubbles. the research base, they have ice cores from all the way through the years that they have

taken. i saw ice that was 140,000 years old and all that has like tiny little air bubbles in it so they, well, they do lots of different measurements from the eyes but with the air bubbles, they measure the c02 and other parts of it and thought of chart them through the ages. so what are the c02 levels we are recording today? they are much, much higher. this project is a great thing, you are trying to tell the facts but yet do it with some motion and make, allow people to connect with this information a little bit better —— emotion. with this information a little bit better -- emotion. there are ways we can reduce our emissions and that the same time improve the quality of our lives. psychosis is a mental health problem which causes sufferers to perceive the world differently to those around them.

and it can be a symptom of problems we have heard of like schizophrenia or severe depression or bipolar disorder. but now technology is being used to try to spot the early signs of psychosis and other mental health problems, as paul carter has been finding out. ect in the early days of the distressing business. the days of mental health problems being dealt with large in the brutality of the asylum are tha nkfully brutality of the asylum are thankfully now mostly behind us and now we see mental health of something to be treated and managed ina much something to be treated and managed in a much similar way to physical health, aided by early intervention. and now some fascinating research is using technology to help detect early markers of certain conditions. researchers in bristol and exeter attracting hand movements of volunteers, seeing if they can devise early markers for psychosis. the hand movements are fed into mathematical models the catalogue features such as how many long and short movements a person has, along with this lead and duration. we have then putting altogether this

information and this allows us to represent this movement as an individual motor signature. and eve ryo ne individual motor signature. and everyone has a different motor signature? if we were to record your movement after three weeks later, it would be able to tell that this is your movement and not somebody else's. we can compare the motor signatures of healthy people with people with different mental disorders, in this case psychosis. this study is based on previous research involving long—term schizophrenia patients, trying to see if it could also indicate people who are in the early stages of psychosis will not although brain is working on the project as someone with previous experience of psychosis, just looking at the results but i doesn't tell you anything. using like appropriate mathematical tools we can really understand this movement in a lot of detail and then find the differences in the details between different of people. elsewhere the research is looking a possible early markers about mental illness in children and

young people. this random group of volu nteers young people. this random group of volunteers are taking part in the study to see whether via is a reliable way to detect if young people could be at risk of developing mental health issues. the experiment involves taking a virtual walk around the school canteen. what is special about virtual reality is that if you are immersed in this situation, giving havens think exactly the same as you would in real life. it is a way of more objectively measuring how people react in this kinds of situations. through the students responses, researchers are able to look for signs of social anxiety and low—level paranoia. it feeds into a wider study looking at risk factors that can lead to mental illness. meanwhile this experiment has thrown up meanwhile this experiment has thrown up some fascinating results, like 64% of the students who felt anxious have also experienced bullying. and those who are, had a long period of feeling lonely during their childhood are much more likely to feel anxious and had thought of

low—level paranoia in the canteen application. or is it seems to be more prevalent that they feel more kind of anxious in this kind of situations. that is interesting. it is against what were expecting. while early signs that mean that person will definitely do want to develop mental health problems researchers believe it is certainly worth keeping an eye on. 5096 of all aduu worth keeping an eye on. 5096 of all adult mental health problems begin before the age of 15 and something like 75% begin before the age of 18. it is really important to thoroughly understand what may be, risk factors may be protective in order to develop interventions. back in bristol, brad is trying to move like an avatar with what the game looks like simple tracking it is actually taking and producing detailed information. at this point, brad was trying to predict the robot is going to turn but actually, this didn't happen, we are looking at all of this details of how fast you are

like making this decision, how well you are following the movement of the robot. someone who perhaps might be suffering from psychosis, would you expect to see much more deviation between the two patterns? you really need like mathematical analysis to find these differences. if they were like you know really obvious it would be necessary to use any sophisticated tool that could just look at the person on the street and tell that they are suffering from some kind of disorder. looking at the accuracy of both movement test, there are no false positives. subi haven't classified anyone who hasn't schizophrenia as a person who has it. the 9396 accuracy, that is a very high number, 93%. it. the 9396 accuracy, that is a very high number, 9396. it is on the level of rain imaging studies. projects lead the hopeful for the role of technology in developing these early indicators compared to traditional pen and paper tests. of course the problem with mental health disorders and psychiatry in general is there is no blood tests are any of these

disorders so it is just my impression of somebody else, somebody else's behaviour or actually what they are choosing to tell me. and obviously there is a whole raft of problems with that. this may be more objective to actually get through some of those inherent bias answers and if it works, it will be very important because the first summer will be able to measure these abilities with some degree of accuracy and objectively. well, i could hay, it is deep concentration here in the scribblers heart. it is a digital animation and video mapping workshop run by mash cinema. we are creating monsters. and then we are going to animate them. we are using a free app called tactful on these ipads comic you draw the monster first and then you

animate it. the idea is it is teaching these children more about the art of animation. the software is fairly intuitive. the animating function records the motion of your hand. because it is done on an ipad you can literally create a 2—d digital creature or animated graffiti whenever inspiration hits. the results are a function that let's you collaborate on artwork with other tag tool uses. i thought all the monsters here were equally scary, although here are some of our favourites. but it was after dark that they really came to life. the tea m we nt that they really came to life. the team went into gorilla mode, predicting the creatures all over the festival site. —— guerrilla. and that's it from click at the hay

festival 2018. hope you've enjoyed it. next week, it is world cup times we will be talking about the technology behind football, which a p pa re ntly technology behind football, which apparently is a sport. in the meantime you can follow us on facebook and on twitter, we live at bbc click. if watching and we will see you soon. bbc click. if watching and we will see you soon. “— bbc click. if watching and we will see you soon. —— sank you for watching. —— thank you for watching. hello there. friday was another day when we had plenty of thunderstorms around but this time they were mainly focused across the northern half of the uk. flashing away across the north of wales, northern england, northern ireland and scotland, where we had some localised surface water flooding issues as well. what catches my eye on the satellite picture at the moment is this area of cloud extending out

from europe into east anglia. it is bringing outbreaks of rain. most of it's quite light but i think this will have a bearing on the weather forecast across eastern counties of england, as i'll explain in a moment. for the time being, a few spots of rain for the next few hours across some of these eastern counties. not as murky as it has been, particularly across southern england, although around coastal areas there are still some patches of mist and fog. perhaps a few patches of mist and fog in the pennines and north midlands, we have the most humid air. thunderstorms developing through today. i think they will be mostly in scotland. one or two for northern ireland, one or two for east anglia. so this is how the day starts. we will see this cloud and light rain working in across parts of norfolk, moving across lincolnshire and in across yorkshire. that might get to northumberland and durham as well later in the afternoon. what that area of cloud will do is stop temperatures rising so high. further north we can see some sunshine, with heavy thundery showers. a risk of localised flooding here, but it's not certain these showers will develop across eastern england. that cloud that i showed you might

actually stop the showers from falling here, it could be a few thunderstorms, though, to the south in east anglia. southern counties of england and across southern wales, this is where the driest weather is going to be with the best of the day's sunshine. the heaviest of the downpours, i'm pretty sure, will be across scotland and maybe into east anglia. those showers will fade away through the night. on sunday a lot of dry weather for the second half of the weekend. but completely dry. a few showers around. —— not completely dry. a few showers around. northern england, parts of southern scotland, those would be the favoured areas for catching those showers. quite a bit of cloud around the north sea coast of scotland. the best of the sunshine further south with a ridge of high pressure keeping the weather settled there. and it will be a bit warmer. temperatures could reach 25 degrees around london and the south—east. on into the early stages of next week. this area of high pressure to the north—west of the uk is going to start drawing in north—easterly winds. there will be some cloud coming onto the north sea coast.

it might well start out cloudy on monday before that cloud tends to thin out. it will burn back to a degree, with some brighter and sunny spells, but it will certainly be a bit cooler and fresher. temperatures in london around about 20 degrees on monday. that's your weather. welcome to bbc news, broadcasting to viewers in north america on pbs and around the globe — my name is nkem ifejika. our top stories: hand delivered to the white house — a personal letterfrom kimjong—un — as president trump confirms the singapore summit is back on. i think we're going to have a relationship and it will start onjune 12. after weeks of political uncertainty — italy has a new prime minister — giuseppe conte leads a controversial populist government. europe, mexico, and canada pledge to hit back at america's new tariffs on steel and aluminium imports — promising retaliation. the german state of bavaria imposes a new law requiring a christian cross in the entrance to every public building.
