football. the keepers and kickers. and football fails. sorry... -- this week. —— robokeepers and kickers. can intelligence be created artificially using silicon? will organic living to elect the human brain forever be the only way to support such powerful processors? is a question we often explored here on click. artificial intelligence
1:32 am
researchers around the world insist that silicon voters will already need its organic rival. but i have one thing to say: paul the octopus. because during 2011 world cup, this animal oracle put the argument firmly and decisively to rest. ‘s organic brain correctly predicted the results to eight world cup games ina the results to eight world cup games in a row. an extraordinary feat. it brought him worldwide fame, and something not artificial intelligence could hope to match. sadly, paul then demonstrated the problem with organically housed intelligence, and died if you months later, taking his incredible so they get with them, and leaving only this memorial to his remarkable talent. but now as the world cup 2018 gets under way this week, one thing you
1:33 am
don't need to be an octopus to predict is the fact that the world is yet again about to football crazy. yes, as nations around the world shutdown at the next party octopus is waiting to be discovered, we would look at some of the technology behind the beautiful game. and we start with the brawl. every single tournament they unleashed a brand—new model of the things. i know. it isjust a bell, right? well, no, a lot of workers into the design and manufacture of these things. we said kat hawkins to ta ke these things. we said kat hawkins to take a look. the new adidas telstar 18. i wanted to find out what goes into the design behind us. this year but they design is 80 new version of the iconic adidas bois—franc the 1970 world cup, the telstar. but if just as the victim. this university have been almost 20 years. hello.
1:34 am
the team used a roboleg to replicate the impact on the ball. we have the fertility of a human player but the repeatability of the machine. even the best player in work cannot and a ball the same way twice. if we want to know how web all respond, we need the robot. let's seen in action, then. i am the robot. let's seen in action, then. iam impressed the robot. let's seen in action, then. i am impressed at the foot appears to be in front of the ball. three, two, one... 0k, appears to be in front of the ball. three, two, one... ok, so it is fast. from our point of view, it would be understanding how long the boot is in contact with the ball, how the ball the forms, and how it stores the energy and recovers that energy, and then that results in
1:35 am
this sort of forward velocity and spend that is imparted on the ball into its flight. but what we have just seen on the roboleg really has to make sense in terms of the players. and so capturing what a players. and so capturing what a player does when they kick a ball is the inference we need to control the kicking leg is vital. so done here we have a motion capture space where we have a motion capture space where we can actually capture a player kicking a ball in all the details we need. as well as robotic legs and motion capture technology, the team here work on computers and relations in football so try to figure out how they will respond before they are physically made. we are simulating certain aspects of the brawl. in this case, it is how it performs under certain gigs or on different surfaces. perhaps modelling the flight surfaces. perhaps modelling the flight to be possible in the future,
1:36 am
but now, the way do that is to look in the wind tunnel and experimental aerodynamic studies. beaufort street is something of the scale of what was involved in a time like this, so if we come outside, and you get a scale of the scale. this is the air at those expelled and here it too severely the speed that 80 play will kick out. i was not expecting this. the goalkeepers who have played with the new toaster 18 have ready complained. david haye said it was strange, and his mate pavic rayner at to be changed. players just want to perform at the top of their game. but what the fans had to say about it will be found when it starts. but what the fans had to say about it will be found when it startslj am it will be found when it starts.” am surprised many people doubt. the
1:37 am
tournament is such a major tournament. it causes all kinds of emotions. heartache and delight and everything in between. but we are interested in the game and the game works when it is balanced, word is a fair competition, where every player on the field has an opportunity to shine. and our motivation in developing the right is that we have and it is that we have is to give a fair representation to all the different uses of the ball on the field and make sure that their needs are considered. that was cut. 0k, paul dunne. but it is notjust about what we kick. like many sports this day that make these days, data is dipping into every part of the game. fifa has been notoriously slow and allowing technology to football, but this will be the first world cup weightings are given tablets to
1:38 am
access data and analytics in game. does that mean the data analyst will become the new star players? we said paul carter to fifa to find out. at this year of that world cup finals in russia, data is set to play a bigger role than ever before. like you are not, data is ready and integral part of modern football. you can watch a televised game without being bombarded by all kinds of statistics. that make you can't watch again. the first time, fifa are providing a technical package in oui’ are providing a technical package in our technical staff analyst at indicate throughout matches in real—time. the snappily titled electronic tracking a performance system will provide data on player metrics, such as distances run, speed, and position information. crucially, each of the 32 countries competing in the tournament will be provided with two tablets. 0ne competing in the tournament will be provided with two tablets. one for data analyst in the stands, who will
1:39 am
be of the committee could with the second device user, on the bench, possibly occur to assistant manager. we are using an optical tracking system. so we have optical tracking cameras in all the stadiums. when it be pleasantly ball that a window when the players and the ball are times in the match. it is up to the data analyst are they want to use this. with resources available for technology differing between countries, fifa. .. technology technology differing between countries, fifa... technology will bridge the day to divide. it will bring the digital haves closer to the digital have—nots. bring the digital haves closer to the digital have-nots. a lot of the teams are ready you started. we are expecting a lot of the teams to bring their own setup. but we want to use — at least offer the same to all teams. in the fifa system, the data analyst will have access to a tax on lap, allowing them to add drawing to a live video field. stills can then be sent to the dugout. with goalline technology,
1:40 am
videos to referees, and now disco at this year's world cup looks to be the most advanced ever. with the technology, what is the risk of losing the rural spirit of the game? the role of the data analyst is simply to support the coaching decisions. i think there are some key insights they can be found in the data. but the football will a lwa ys the data. but the football will always be 20 to pleasantly pitch. and the coach will always be the one making the decisions. at the end, what technology is really fought bitterly to support. at the end, the 22 players plus the reverie, they are the main actors. 90 minutes. —— referee. so that is the excitement. i think technology can only add additional help, optimise processes, optimise or provide additional information. that is what technology
1:41 am
is about. hello and welcome to the week intact. it was a week which aces has announced a phone so powerful they offered a calling them a cooling fan. —— asus. microsoft tested cooling efficiency of 0rkney, and facebook said it it has developed state point liquid cooling, allowing it to put data centres in the desert. facebook needs cooling off after the uighurs had. became a journal of the boss was again grilled by mps about its use of data gleaned from facebook users, and facebook itself was accused of handing over its data to chinese mobile phones. facebook says it do to improve its handset facebook spirits, and has since stopped sharing quite so much. chinese virtual audi specialists can with a simple gadget that is both cameras weerarathne have on our mobile phones into superwide 180

ages. it is not to be clear time for new hardware to be announced. today is all about software. but it is a chance for apple to show what is in the pipeline. the next version of ira is, i was 12, the pipeline. the next version of ira is, iwas12, will the pipeline. the next version of ira is, i was 12, will be out later this year. you will be autistic your tongue out with animated the motives, and do more with syria, which, let's face it, is not the most useful right now, but it might be. when i leave work, i couldjust save heading home. you will gather in one hour. i said a message to cheryl. your thermostat is said to 70 degrees, and i turned on the van. playing kqed radio. multiplayer augmented reality will soon be possible. both players he can see the same virtual scene through their device. it is a mix of lego made from physical bricks and an interactive game laid on top.
1:44 am
following in the footsteps of goodwill, apple is releasing a futile to try and make you use this thing a little bit less. like google, apple thinks that tell you how much you are using and giving you the jazz to set limits could be the big trick to curtailing your social media addiction. it will monitor what you're doing and for how long, but it is still ultimately up how long, but it is still ultimately up to you to exercise restraint. if you are a proud, however, you can impose tighter rules on what works on top's device at certain times. but no sooner were apple telling us how it would help us be less addicted to our phones it was adding addicted to our phones it was adding a whole new load of features to the apple watch that demanded your attention. but that is the biggest announcement was perhaps the least glamorous, but meeting figure could have a huge impact. apple says it will make it much more difficult for companies that collect data, specifically facebook, to find out information about who you are. and
1:45 am
that will make it much harder for them to sell advertising. if you use them to sell advertising. if you use the safari browser. it will now tell you is suddenly you're about to do, like tapping into, spot, will send data to a company like facebook. this year, we are shutting down. not only that, apple make it difficult for companies to know who you are by greatly reducing the mud of information it is possible for a company to gather about your computer as you visit certain sites. companies that rely on targeted ads to make their money companies that rely on targeted ads to make their money will companies that rely on targeted ads to make their money will no companies that rely on targeted ads to make their money will no doubt find a weight to retaliate and work around these measures. but now, it is apple one, advertisers mill. —— meal. next, jane is finding out how often laws can transport themselves into virtual rout shall —— virtual

matches. but first, she tries to out with a classic piece of goalkeeping tech. he may not look like much, but robo keep that can stop manchester's test players. —— best. his two cameras ta ke players. —— best. his two cameras take up to 90 photos per second. if a football is kicked up to 100 kilometres an hour, that leaves robo keep a jaziri .3 seconds to save the ball. bbc! bbc! here we go! there are some great facilities in manchester as you might expect from one of the world's great footballing cities. no —— normally practice requires that each, players, football players. but what if you can bring all of this into your living room? can bring all of this into your living room ? we can bring all of this into your living room? we have come to salford city football ground because there
1:47 am
is the latest in virtual reality. first collecting data with stats boards, they are working at the world cup with eight national teams including england. using a heart rate monitor and gps device fixes when our shoulder blades, we are sent a run to collect data points. virtual reality platforms transforms this data into vr amazingly quickly. that position that you were running, we have sent it back onto the pitch, so as we we have sent it back onto the pitch, so as we move forward, if we stream that data live from the gps we will be able to stream it live into this platform. so theoretically if you are in half—time at the world cup, you will be able to review live tactics, positions those of this is the future of connecting those dots. there have also created pressure drills in vr. lucy is captain of sunderland ladies and was shortlisted for the women's fa goal of the year.
1:48 am
smashes! the game realism is spot on, the defenders, ifelt real pressure. even just fine tuning skills, some of that outside the box, even the competitive edge in working on that was all good. another incredible development is being able to put yourself in any position in any game. obviously we're bringing sterling is, given that he is a fast player, he has the advantage coming in, the defender would have to turn their heads and try and turn it that way, i suppose. lucy is watching a real match, she can place herself in any position, in the stands, on the roof, and even become the manager. right now i have
1:49 am
a clear view of what went wrong in term of the left back‘s position. a clear view of what went wrong in term of the left back's position. do you see more detail of the players and their bodies... yeah. i think so, because you are on their level and there is so much value in appreciating what they saw. so for the first time this is all portable. you can bring the matter analysis loaded on an sp tower at us beef pick onto the headset —— usb stick. so you can review the opponent's tactics from anywhere on the pitch. but to play against their virtual goalkeeper you have to be backed on the wired version. vr, especially in contact sports, it ta kes vr, especially in contact sports, it takes out any chance of injury and it is more controllable and the fatigue level can be lower. i think
1:50 am
it is really cutting edge, and we are glad to be getting involved in that space. you did quite well. spencer with the nation's hopes on his shoulders... it is the last minute of the world cup final, and this penalty will win it. can he handle the pressure? he goes... if you are not a longtime fan of us ican if you are not a longtime fan of us i can tell you that is as good as i get a football. but i wonder if technology has an answer for this. we sent click‘s second worst player,
1:51 am
la ra we sent click‘s second worst player, lara lewington to find out.” we sent click‘s second worst player, lara lewington to find out. i am certainly nowhere near ready to head toa certainly nowhere near ready to head to a football pitch, i need some sort of training first. but luckily we have come across this robotic leg which aims to help. i can see what the first problem is. this robot originally built for factory work has already got football boot on. the idea is that it can repeat a human's move and so they can be watched back and learn from, or it could be copying and teaching to kick of a star player from anywhere in the world. so here we have the setup. a kinect which will track the human's movement, and the robot can replicate it, and we have a goal, and we can't do without one of these. that is the theory anyway, but it didn't gauge the angle of my foot very well, and even i know you are not meant to keep the ball with
1:52 am
your toe. but i did still need a little help from a human experts to understand what else it was suggesting i did wrong. if we look closer to the robotic, we can see the ankle here is very flexible. so it is actually copying every movement you are doing. so the first album you have got is, when he kicked a football you have to open your arch. i follow the advice, it went to the right point of the net, i almost a professional! i have made it to an actual football pitch, albeit a five aside one and i am joined by the click team, what you think about it? i need to do a bit more practice. they are kicking the ball around the old —fashioned more practice. they are kicking the ball around the old—fashioned way that i have a smart football year, andi that i have a smart football year, and i have an outward some augmented reality. —— an app with some
1:53 am
augmented reality building. i have never done this in my entire life. toetapping. it brings you training suitable to your ability. after placing the ball in position the apple scan it and assess your every move. “— apple scan it and assess your every move. —— the apt will scan it. a heart strangely it did not seem to think i had done too badly. i am assuming these grades are for trying ha rd assuming these grades are for trying hard because clearly i was absolutely ridiculous. it was quite fun but i am not sure i really exercise any sort of skills will stop the apt works beautifully, it is lovely to look at, but i don't think i was born to play football. now i have the moves, or not, it is time to learn some tactics. i need to be able to play the game. the mixed reality is here to help. this is soccer training on the microsoft
1:54 am
hololens, teaching the rules through a mix reality game, a lot of words and checks to make sure you are paying attention. there is text that i can't read it properly. it is not quite right position. there is the goalkeeper and it explains the offside position. premise is good, i like the virtual players running about but it feels like hard work to watch because naturally you want to watch because naturally you want to watch the people, but you need to be the words. so i tried to kick a ball around, thinking about everything a robotic, smart football and microsoft hololens experience had taught me. but through no fault of the attack, i am still one immensely useless. stephen, look overthere! yes! i had to find some way! that is it for our world cup show. next week we will be in the united states for the g3 videogame show in los angeles, and elsewhere in the country too. in fact either time you see this we will already be there.
1:55 am
we will be on twitter, have a look, see what we are up to. thanks for watching and we will see you in the states. hello. it looks like a fairly decent weekend ahead for many of us. we had very few showers through the course of friday. we had a good deal of sunshine, as well. and is very similar picture for saturday. it is warm, it is muggy, there will be some sunshine, but, at this time of year, you cannot rule out the chance of a shower. a lot of the showers fell across northern ireland. this was a photograph taken yesterday here, as you can see, at lurgan, and that was because we have a lot more sunshine, or we had a lot more sunshine, across northern ireland and scotland. and those high temperatures, the sunshine, triggered some
1:56 am
heavier, thundery showers. we also had the remnants of a weak weather front sitting across parts of england and wales. there was more cloud across northern england and parts of wales during friday. a similar story for saturday. some dry, brighter spells to the south. so as we dawn saturday morning, still chilly in the north—east of scotland. a lot of low cloud having returned back in off the north sea. that will clear away. one thing worth pointing out again is the very high levels of grass pollen, particularly for england and wales, but for northern ireland, as well. so unfortunately no sign of respite as well. so for the day ahead, plenty of sunshine to start across northern ireland. mist and low cloud clears away. if anything, the showers will be more prevalent for scotland. and we will take a while to get that cloud clear back to the coast. it could linger across, as you can see, shetland. but around morrey, we have some of the study is whether, yesterday, so we could well see that again. if anything, the showers will be more widespread over the hills. heavy hail and thunder, perhaps fewer showers for northern ireland. one or two for northern england, wales, south—west, and the odd homegrown one as well, potentially, across the home counties. they can't be ruled out.
1:57 am
but for many it is fine and dry after a murky start, potentially. through the evening and overnight, temperatures will fall away again in the north and the east. a few showers to continent with. if anything, there will be focused eastwards, across scotland, the north—east of england, as we go through the day on sunday, perhaps a few more across northern england and wales and the south—west again. we will watch developments to the south, in the channel islands, and just one or two elsewhere. but if anything, temperatures will be just a little higher on sunday. but there is a lot of warmth close by. some exceptional heat at the moment across scandinavia. high wildfire risk here. whilstjust a little cooler across iberia. but without heat and low pressure moving northwards, as are mentioned, some showers crossing into the channel islands. of course, that would trigger some sharp showers that could be because of interruptions at roland garros. it looks as if it will be kept at bay for a while and, actually, our main rain, that will start to come in the atlantic as temperatures dip away from midweek onwards. as ever, plenty more on the website. have a good weekend. welcome to bbc news, broadcasting to
