tens of thousands of romanians have been protesting in the capital, bucharest, and other cities against government corruption and low wages. police fired tear gas and used water cannon to disperse crowds as some demonstrators threw missiles. more than 200 people, including police officers, have been injured. donald trump says the us is doubling steel and aluminium tariffs on turkey, amid worsening relations between the two countries. it adds further pressure to turkey's economy, the lira fell to an all—time low after the announcement, losing 20% of its value in 2a hours. in a few minutes it'll be time for the film review. but first, here's click. the sun is shining, the temperature's soaring. and the robomows are mowing. the science says we are going to have more and more of this weather in the future and fortunately, the uk heatwave is less punishing than many places so we have done that british thing

of dressing inappropriately and letting the robots do the work. they do know this is astroturf, don't they? stephen beckett has been cooling off the only way he knows how. welcome to therme erding, nestled in germany's bavarian countryside, one of the largest thermal baths in europe, the perfect place to relax, have a drink, maybe do some pool yoga. oh, and did i mention, there's also 27 waterslides? there's a water slide, there's another one, that's a water slide too. yes, this is also europe's biggest waterslide park. but with 4,500 people visiting here every day, is 27 slides enough? what if you could change the slides at the flick of a switch? it's time to get my swimming trunks on for some serious journalism. to go on one of the newest rides in the park, i will need more than my togs and a tube, though,

i will need one of these. i'm going backwards! whoa! it was actually amazing. i was a bit sceptical. i think i need a bit of practice, i was going backwards and forwards and didn't feel totally in control. essentially, i went down that slide with my eyes shut. i am no slide connoisseur, but that was good. and because it's a vr slide, how about sliding through the snowy mountains, outer space, or this alien planet? that's four virtual slides all packed into the twists and turns of one real slide. sometimes people, especially older ones say, i like it more without glasses, because they are overloaded with the system,

but the young people, the kids and the young peoples and families we have here, about 10—29, they like it and they love it and they say it's the best thing they ever did in their life and so now we get about more than 50,000 visitors used than we are. normal landblubbing vr headsets have already got a bit of a rep for being compared to use so getting the aquatic version to work well has for being complicated to use so getting the aquatic version to work well has been a challenge. it was very difficult, the first thing we have to convince the owner that we want to do it. and we made the first tries, and then the owner of the therme erding tried it and after two tries, he was sick and he said, no, i don't like this, i don't want. plus the difficulties if you go on the slide in the left side and in virtual reality, you go on the right side, you get this motion sickness. and to see how to solve that problem, first we need to get rid of some of this water.

all along this slide are these sensors and that is so the virtual reality headset knows exactly where you are at exactly the right time because you want what you're seeing to be the same as what you're feeling. get that wrong and you could end up feeling a little bit sick. stephen greenwood and his team spent months building and crucially testing the system. we did hundreds of tests going down the slide, each one of us has ridden the slide hundreds of times, because we had to make sure that we got it right. just off for a dip. stephen's next plan is to take the vr offers slides and into the wild. so this is a diving mask version of the same thing i tried earlier. there's a phone in there, so you've got a virtual reality headset. you can also dive. the idea of this is that people need to practise diving, like equipment repairers or evern astronauts, like equipment repairers or even astronauts, can train in one of these, but i'm just going to go to a shipwreck. when you combine that sensory feeling of being in a different environment and that

virtual world of the rise, it's a powerful combination. i think there is a huge potential for military and marine technician training. these prototypes still need some work. for me, the image wasn't perfect and, more importantly, the waterproof phone that is hidden inside only knows where you're looking, not where you're moving. solving that problem is the next big challenge and in terms of the slide, well, they've got plans for that too. we are considering adding more features like sound and other sensory elements. i think there is a big therapeutic factor, there is a lot that we can do with physical therapy, meditation, rehabilitation, and some of the psychological benefits that you can have from just floating in water and having a relaxing experience in front of your eyes. it sounds like this could just be the start of aquatic vr.

until then, though, i think the best i can do is just help out with the testing. wow, steve, that seemed like a really tough assignment. it was hard, it was difficult, i did it for you guys. so you've done a lot of work with vr over the last two or three years and it seems at the moment we are talking more about vr coming to these theme park areas than to the living room. the thing is, headsets are still quite expensive, they are getting cheaper but they are quite expensive and are still difficult to use so in a themepark environment, it can be controlled and managed and this is the thing, not everyone has a rollercoaster or a waterslide in their home. that's true, yeah. it does seem that adds to the experience, doesn't it? it adds to the sense is because vr doesn't do that at the moment. the promise of vr that we see in sci—fi films is that vr will totally immerse us but at the moment, vr only fools two senses, oui’ eyes and oui’ ears, and it doesn't do that particularly well so maybe this is the first step of the sense of motion, the sense of touch. did you enjoy it, stupid question? i did enjoy it.

i had reservations about going down down the slide with my eyes closed but once you get over that, it's fun, it's good. well done, take a long deserved break, it was arduous. it's been hard. we've been in the water — time to go for a bike ride now. gone are the days when you could slap on a cycling helmet, and pootle around the roads and the cycle paths. these days you have to load up with the latest cycling tech. it's the law, and that's what lara lewington has been doing with the help of click‘s own boss, simon. meet simon — a regular cyclist and the editor of click. first off is coros smart cycle helmet. it connects your mobile phone via bluetooth and thanks to phone conduction technology, you can hear any sound from your phone — that can be directions or music — without blocking out the sound of the road around you. be safe.

thank you. it can be controlled via a remote or its app which allows you to save routes and share data with friends. it also has a wind—resistant microphone designed for calls if you consider chatting on the phone while cycling is a good idea, that is. we had a nice chat on the phone there, the sound was amazing. it was so clear. definitely the best thing i've tried on a bike like that, just in terms of the quality of the call. with this, you've got the added dimension of making sure that the bone conduction things are in exactly the right place. it's quite a feeling. getting jawbone right is always a difficult and with this, really after a couple of weeks of trying to perfect it to get the perfect signal, you kind of have to get it so tight you are almost garrotting yourself. when you are in the middle of london and there is loads of traffic, it's kind of difficult to hear, i suppose, but i guess some people would say, it's better to hear the traffic than it is the music anyway.

this is r—pur, an antipollution mask for cyclists and motorcyclists. the replaceable filters claim to to keep pollution, pollen and viruses and bacteria at bay and based on where you've been cycling, the app will access pollution data and figure out when you need to replace the filter. you looks slightly menacing in that. it's also 30 degrees in london today. it's pretty hot, yeah. it's better than some i have tried, i have to say, in that regard. it's a lot more comfortable than some. i've tried before and it's a slightly nicer design, perhaps. that said, it's very expensive compared to other masks. how about the idea that it connects to an app and aims to track the pollution that you're going to be encountering? to me, that sounds like a classic bit of tech overdesign. really, i think you can use commonsense a little bit to know when to change filters.

finally, we have blinkers which are claimed to be the next generation of bike lights. they can shine a laser light in the street and they also provide the normalfunctions you'd expect from a lith but the question is, the normalfunctions you'd expect from a light but the question is, are they any better? they are all yours to give a go. so the conclusion? you've got the brake light, which lights up as you slow down, presumably because it's got an accelerometer, which is really impressive and when you're a cyclist, you do worry that people not noticing when you're coming to a halt. left—right indicators — there are so few cyclists who use that as a method of indication. i don't think i've ever seen any, to be honest, and the instructions say, don't rely on this on its own, you've also got to use your arm. i'd worry that i'd have too much stuff to think about, almost. that would concern me. they are very, very bright lights. there is almost an arms race in cycle lights today — they get righter and brighter — and these are very impressive

in daylight.. the ease it for the short click. we live on facebook and on twitter. after such an intense summer of sport, next week we are going to look back at some of the new tech brought into play in the last few months and we will leave you with one more thing which we hope illustrates the perils of filming someone illustrates the perils of filming someone going down a vr waterslide. enjoy this, our cameraman certainly did. laughter.

hello and welcome to the film review on bbc news, and taking us through this week's releases is jason sullivan. what have you got for us? this week, we go to beirut in 1982. it's mad men in the middle east, wherejohn hamm tries to negotiate the release of a hostage in the negotiator. and there's a big goldfish, an angry one coming up. there it is, jason statham getting his teeth into the meg, and a prehistoric shark is on the loose. can he save us from it? and we take a rare cinematic trip to paraguay for a film called the heiresses. it's about late flowering freedom found amongst older women. so let's start with the negotiator. this has been billed as sort of bond or bourne meets mad men, in beirut. that's right, bourne is a particularly good example, because it's written by tony gilroy, the scriptwriter who wrote the first four bourne films and directed

one of them himself. so he's very good on the shady operations of the cia and the negotiations that happen, and mad men, because donald draper, one of the great tv characters of our time, was played byjohn hamm, who left the television after that series to go to the movies, and i don't think he's ever quite had a part that matches don draper — there are very few around — until now. he plays mason skiles. it's not as good a name as don draper, i'll give you that. but he is enjoying the high life in 1970s beirut, when a terrorist incident ruins his life and family. ten years later, he's a washed—up alcoholic settling small trade disputes in notown, america and propping up the local bar, which is when he gets a strange tap on the shoulder and the cia, in shady form, try to recruit him again. $6,500 and a first class ticket. i wouldn't go back to beirut if it was the last place on earth.
