my my name is ben bland. the headlines: president trump says he'll raise the disappearance of the saudi journalist jamal khashoggi with king salman as the saudi authorities face growing pressure over his alleged murder. mr trump told reporters he had not spoken to the saudi ruler yet but would call him soon. washington insists no deal was done with turkey to secure the release of the american evangelical pastor andrew bru nson. he's flying back to the us via germany after a turkish court freed him. president trump said he'd welcome mr brunson at the white house, most likely on saturday. rescue workers are still searching through debris for people who may have been trapped or lost their lives when hurricane michael tore into the south—eastern united states on wednesday. 16 people are now known to have been killed by the storm in florida, virginia, georgia and north carolina. now on bbc news, it's click. this week, is beauty really in the

aea of the beholder? eight but i'd camera, and bringing colour to the great war. —— ai. —— a bug—eyed camera. this is christie ‘s auction house in london, and at the moment, it is home to a curious painting. it's called edmond de bellamy. and it is not what it seems.” it's called edmond de bellamy. and it is not what it seems. i like that at first blush it was acapulco. the frame is all part of that. you assume it is like everything as you have seen. and then when you read

the label and read that in fact it has been created by an artificial intelligence programme, then i think thatis intelligence programme, then i think that is the real shock. this is the latest image of a type that we have seen before on click. images that have been created by a type of artificial intelligence. as as i understand it, the computer split itself into and one half of the computer looks through 5000 or 15,000 portraits, lives with a portuguese, and then makes its own version. it is creditable to based on the rules that it is learnt. and then the other half of the computer picks through all the portraits, and if he can pick the one that has been generated by the computer, it reruns that and reruns until it can't detect which is credit by human and

which by the computer. this is the first piece of aea art to go under the camera at a major auction. —— ai. the camera at a major auction. —— al. the picture generating our rhythm was trained by collective called 0bvious. three guys that live in an unassuming flat in paris. one of the most important aspects is to have great ingredients. i guess for what we do, feeding data through our rhythm is according to the data is crucial. if we cease to be the data that speaks to us, we believe that it will speak to other people too. edmond de bellamy is one of a family of computer—generated pictures. here is another one, compte de bellamy,

owned by another collector who lives ina coding owned by another collector who lives in a coding school in paris. translation: were truly astonished me about 0bvious translation: were truly astonished me about obvious is that they have created a hybrid between a start—up and artist. what was great, we realised art was, was that a form of art that was subversive was brought into the school, which has a subversive spirit. the discussion goes on about whether computer—generated works can ever be considered art. 0bvious actually told us that the images themselves are important, they are making conceptual art. and you need to understand the concept. which in this case is the artificial intelligence behind the scenes. it would remove the mistake as some have done to compare the work of 0bvious with the masters of the early 20th century. instead, but there should be converted to more modern artists. and maybe the skill

lies with the inventor of the generative adversarial network method. ian goodfellow of google was one of the researchers find this model. we dig it makes our work more accessible because it is more traditional to have a physical piece and people can relate to it. just as facebook —— visual galleries that this posting has me not have physical paintings in it at all. and that will make these printed pieces by 0bvious that will make these printed pieces by obvious the exception that confers the rule. last week we confirmed of the new full frame

grille as cameras being shown off injury to make —— in germany. dan simmons play with the latest creations from canon, nick bond, cerney, and lumix. —— nikon, sony. you don't have to shake it, but it is part of the culture. it is really being driven by the youth market. we have seen enormous growth in the la st have seen enormous growth in the last couple of years. this year alone we expect to sell 10 million instant cameras. it is not shared. it is away from the digital world that they are appreciating more. you can tell your phone down and really enjoy the moment but still capture the moment. you get something amazingly tangible with a natural photo. how long will something like this last? a good 20 years that it can last. this does have a selfie

mode. surely have a go? a little bit closer... are you ready? there we go. a nice holiday snap from dan who was with us now. so this is clearly a move away from digital. do you think it is a fad or difficult last? is the only sector of the camera market that is actually growing, apart from the merrill as cameras that we saw last week. but if it doesn't, it seems that fujifilm has go with something new. —— mirrorless. this is the same as that, but it has a screen on the back and takes video. why does it ta ke back and takes video. why does it take video? is not a video camera. but when we start going here, we're just recording of a bit of omar there. and then we can stop it. on there. and then we can stop it. on there will be about 2030 frames that we can scroll around in between. and we can scroll around in between. and we can scroll around in between. and we can decide which one of those we end up wanting to print. so there is no more kind of pointing, shooting,

hoping. i thought that was part of the phone, to be honest. and what does you have? 100 megapixel camera. this is just does you have? 100 megapixel camera. this isjust a model of does you have? 100 megapixel camera. this is just a model of the does you have? 100 megapixel camera. this isjust a model of the moment. it comes out next year. i asked why we would need 100 megapixels. better clarity and wider tonal colours and also when you are working in black—and—white, more natural black and white as well. i would say about a3, a2, a1, that is when you sow the seed difference. but even in smaller size use start to seek better detail and clarity. —— start to see. —— you start to see. woody dig of these? this is a 100 forensics into the camera. when the two wide—angle lens is probably transforms into a 3—d stereoscopic camera. so you get a super wide shot that appears to have more depth when you play back in one of these. and couples are facebook

and youtube already supporting playback of those files. so is that on sale yet? no. that is a prototype goes on sale next year. but we do have a piece of kit that when a sale just about two days ago. this is the in start 360 1x. increases from a 4k toa in start 360 1x. increases from a 4k to a 4k. that has stabilisation are unlike anything as seen in another camera. “— unlike anything as seen in another camera. —— 4k to 5.7k. it also doesn't ring us that we have not seen doesn't ring us that we have not seenin doesn't ring us that we have not seen in any other camera on this programme. can you guess what that is? -- programme. can you guess what that is? —— it also does something else. can its like? yes, it can. -- can it fly. what it did there was as it went through the air it is taking video, and then they can be slowed

down slow motion and you get this beautiful arc shot of something that you have shot below. you can direct that because of his 360, and you can say you will downwards, is something in the air. but if it lands on the ground, it is a $400 piece of kit that you properly deal not want to damage. $400 is a? -- you say. hello and welcome to the week in tech. it was the google announced it would shut down its social network google plus following a bug that they have exposed a half a million of its users' details. more on google in a bit. and sony confirmed plans for a successor to the playstation four. it is also the week that augmented reality for magic leap others' conference. guests out leapcon saw a variety of content, including bottles a nd

variety of content, including bottles and battles. and while the next robot might not like, it can certainly get some air. the salter 1p buses on one leg, and, like in india, it can bounce across several different services in a row. two tiny propellers on top the funny hopper allowed to hot midair. —— 4k. and finally the creepiest robot ever have been released by the police researchers. you can wait itself up and down ladders with ease, potentially sending shivers down the spines of window cleaners and the hour i enthuse us everywhere. pedal—powered, the only predator it has is the fearsome off switch. back

now to google, which is we forget about its potential data breach and be dazzled by a new line—up of devices in under this week. new smartphones like its pixel three and pixel 3l have bigger screens. they also sport a second front facing wide—angle camera lens intended for easier selfies. this isjust what the world needs. more features than you can shake a stick at. and a new member of its much bigger range was unveiled. the pixel 3l comes with the google assistant and a seven inches play. it is competitor to the amazon echo. you can watch cavity is

a new tube while cooking dinner. —— cat videos. if you are to be seen around the house, facebook offered its new portal video chat gadgets. not the greatest of time and giving its recent data breach scandals. com plete its recent data breach scandals. complete with camera lens covers, the tablet like devices can trek around the room and zoom in on you. they have amazon's alexa velten, used as a message of the calls, and come with augmented reality overlays, so you can pretend to be a pig- overlays, so you can pretend to be a pig. technology at its fighters. —— at its finest. that was neck. this month, —— this month is 80 88 the awareness month. —— home hub. a study from king ‘s college london is looking including the disorder with different as the technology, including gaming, which is ironic,

because technology is often seen as an aggregator. we set sarah, who has had adhd since childhood, to be the resurgence. iam sarah i am sarah mit, and i iam sarah mit, and i have i am sarah mit, and i have adhd. that sense for attention deficit high bracket of the disorder. like most people, i have thoughts buzzing round my head all the time. the's very much like trafalgar square. except with adhd it's very difficult to prioritise which thought should come first or which thoughts to focus on. it is usually the one that is most emulating. right now, stood here, it is definitelyjumping on the line. it can become a vicious circle with more and more ideas and thoughts presenting themselves as the most important, until gridlock. studies of the brains of people with adhd show abnormalities in the right

prefro ntal cortex, adhd show abnormalities in the right prefrontal cortex, the area responsible for self—control and attention. research is now using technology to affect neurological changes to this region. by activating this, which is often less engaged in the brains of people with adhd, researchers are hoping to improve concentration. it also enhances the activity of this right frontal area. but the medication has the problem that has side—effects, people don't like the side—effects, of course. and it has a longer term effects have not been shown. they have shown that the brain at —— adapts to the drug. when the brain adapts to the drug. when the brain adapts to the drug. when the brain adapts to be drop the drug does not work any more. that is why the want to find alternative brain therapies for adhd. there are cognitive training apps, known as brain training apps, known as brain training apps, known as brain training apps, that you can buy off the shelf, but none of them uproot to help with adhd. but now pioneering new treatments are on the

horizon. this isjust pioneering new treatments are on the horizon. this is just to pioneering new treatments are on the horizon. this isjust to dampen the noise. i volunteered myself to act asa guinea noise. i volunteered myself to act as a guinea pig. the research being done here affects the plasticity of the rain, the ability to change by reorganising itself and forming new connections. —— brain. 0ne reorganising itself and forming new connections. —— brain. one possible consequences improve concentration and self—control. for the first experiment i climbed into a brain imaging scanner that is calibrated to pick up the activity in the brain's right prefrontal cortex. the scanner brain's right prefrontal cortex. the scanner is an mri machine connected toa game scanner is an mri machine connected to a game that sends a rocketeer up into space. when my mind is focused on the area of the brain being scanned, the rocketeer goes up. the more i use that area of my brain be higher he goes. so i am enhancing my own brain activity. ready for the brain stimulation? yes. next up, a different exercise distillate my brain. the difference is this is a

double whammy. at the same time as gaming, my will also receive external stimulations through small electrical signals that are delivered by bristles at the side of a helmet i will have to wear. but like any good scientific experiment, i had to do like any good scientific experiment, ihad to doa like any good scientific experiment, i had to do a before and after test to see how much my concentration had improved as a result of the exercise. so first a baseline test to establish my current level of concentration. i feel like my to establish my current level of concentration. ifeel like my brain is trying to find a pattern. and there isn't one. what was only a six minute test felt like an eternity. soi minute test felt like an eternity. so i can only guess that my concentration on the before test is pretty appalling. now for the actual exercise. using small electrical currents to stimulate my prefrontal cortex, i was put through my paces once again. i am really bashing the ipad. sorry. it is definitely fun and games, i just ipad. sorry. it is definitely fun and games, ijust hope it is doing me some good. very good. i have

earned a medal. now for the final test to establish whether my concentration has improved. for the stimulation you had almost 40% m ista kes stimulation you had almost 40% mistakes —— before. after the stimulations and had only 25%. and on top of that you are much faster. for me, the way i felt was very important. i didn't really mind how the data showed, but actually looking at it, i feel really proud of myself. is a huge difference. the neural feedback, like the one you did with the rocket, that is a pilot study and we found the effect lasts for one year. you are training the brain. it makes sense. it changes the brain and therefore it has a more lasting effect than an external peel more lasting effect than an external peel, which you just, which is a positive thing, you get the bill next day the effect is back. —— peel it's like the first time that dorothy steps into the wonderful

world of oz. black and white photos turned into glorious technicolour. but artist marina has used technology, not magic, to digitally added 200 pictures for her new book, the colour of time. sainters? she has colour as voters from some of the greatest moments in history, —— colourised. it is very similar to watch traditional painters do. i need to select every detail of the photo by hand. i need to go building layers upon layers of colours and mixing them and trying to capture the original atmosphere. the project is about using colour to connect us to the past, helping us to relate to the people and the emotions captured in the images. it is only now that technology has allowed marina to do this in so much detail. technology has allowed marina to do this in so much detaillj technology has allowed marina to do

this in so much detail. i think that we have photoshopped and also digital tablets that we have now facilitate the process a lot. when you are colourised in movies, for example, the person is very different. that is because colour raising 34 frames for every single second of footage was far too time—consuming to do well. until now. to mark the 100 years since the end of the first world war, bv director sir peterjackson has worked on a project to colourised films. we caught up with him at the imperial war museum. they shall not grow old is a new documentary film about the first world war, directed by academy award winner so peterjackson. using audio recorded in the 1960s and 70s, vetera ns recorded in the 1960s and 70s, veterans of the western front recollect their wartime experiences. you knew what was going on within your vision, beyond that you haven't got a clue. these told over footage

of the war which has been painstakingly restored, colourised, and converted into 3—d byjackson's tea m and converted into 3—d byjackson's team at wingnut films in new zealand. audio has been added in places, but the film develops entirely from the soldiers blip was perspective and in their own words. their stories are told in an imaginative and startling way. the film clips from the patriotic fervour of a better is because accou nts fervour of a better is because a ccou nts of fervour of a better is because accounts of their enlistment to walk to the brutal and shocking realities of day to day life and death in the trenches. some of these stories are told in an amazingly matter—of—fact way. you wore any uniform, bits that you like, and nobody worried. all they were concerned with was that you were fit to fight. peterjackson and his team trawled through over 600 hours of audio and 100 hours of film footage, provided by the imperial war museum's archive in order to construct the film. the

effects wiza rd ry order to construct the film. the effects wizardry smooths the movements of images, removing any jerky pictures —— cfx. movements of images, removing any jerky pictures -- cfx. it is an unusual method of storytelling. that struck me straightaway. it feels different to almost any war document you have seen in the past. the brief that they gave me was, on the serve as it was very simple and very wide open, itjust that as it was very simple and very wide open, it just that you as it was very simple and very wide open, itjust that you can do anything you want. but we would like you to use our archive film in a way thatis you to use our archive film in a way that is unusual. so the first idea i had was i will get them to send me some to case gerrans, material, three orfour minutes, some to case gerrans, material, three or four minutes, send some to case gerrans, material, three orfour minutes, send it some to case gerrans, material, three or four minutes, send it to some to case gerrans, material, three orfour minutes, send it to me in new zealand where we have our big visual effects department, i thought can we restore this film. that blew me away. we were able to restore this film. that blew me away. we we re this film. that blew me away. we were able to restorative way better than i thought we would. it took as a while to figure out all the techniques, because we were taking it further than anyone had with the restoration before. how did you ensure that the colour raising process and the 3—d didn't overwhelm

the story and the stories that were telling and enhance the stories you we re telling and enhance the stories you were telling? i wanted it to be in colour. they saw it in colour. we think of the war as a black and white wall. but it wasn't a black war to them. they did not see black and white, so we —— why should we shotin and white, so we —— why should we shot in black and white —— black and white wall. in doing so, the same as we did the restoration, it had to be the best colourised haitian we have seen. the best colourised haitian we have seen. the longer you spend on the better gets. 0nce seen. the longer you spend on the better gets. once you restore it, the thing that happens is that it becomes about people, human beings, the faces of these guys and the nuances and the humanity. it comes out at you like a freight train. they shall not grow old will be shown on full on the bbc. it will also get an outing on the big screen as part of the london film festival. it is not the only work at the festival which provides a window

into the past. the british film institute has been digitally restoring 128 rolled victorian films will stop unusually, these movies we re will stop unusually, these movies were shot on 68 millimetre film —— 120—year—old. were shot on 68 millimetre film —— 120-year-old. it is ajoy were shot on 68 millimetre film —— 120-year-old. it is a joy to restore these films. you are dealing with this large format picture with an enormous amount of detail. the only problem is that it is so fragile. so you have to iron roll it really carefully, because otherwise the emulsion can peel off. the films themselves are only about a minute in duration, depicting events like a royalty party at clarence house. while their runtime may be small, the size of the original film means it can be blown up and will be projected onto an imax screen as pa rt projected onto an imax screen as part of the festival, allowing us a little glimpse of the past on the big screen around. that was mark talking to so peter jackson. that is it for this week. don't forget we live on facebook and

twitter at bb cyclical stock thank you very much for watching. we will see you soon. —— at -- at bbc —— at bbc .co icsa. hello there. friday was a windy day across the country, thanks to the influence of storm callum, that's bringing not just the strong winds but also heavy rain around too. this was the picture taken by one of our weather watchers earlier in the day at salcombe. this is storm callum pushing into the north—west of the uk, but we have is trailing weather front, which will be the main trouble maker in the next 24—48 hours. this will bring more heavy rain across parts of south wales. some areas have seen 100 millimetres already. we could see 160 millimetres over the hills by the end of saturday, causing problems with flooding and travel

disruption, too. elsewhere, it will be a very mild night. those temperatures at about 17 or 18 degrees in the south and east, cooler and fresher further north—west. heading through saturday, we have all this rain which is going to be ploughing in across parts of south—west england and wales. those totals mounting up. it is notjust the rain but the strong winds. widely the 40—50 mile wind gusts. to be east, things are dry and very mild. there is that heavy rain in southern scotland and england, but northern ireland and north—west scotland largely dry through the course of the morning. through the morning, the rain pushing across northern ireland at times, too. in south—east england it will stay mostly dry. that wind will bring warmer temperatures, 25 degrees in some spots. we are breaking records of this time in october. moving through saturday evening, given all the rain in the north and west, it will ease for a time. heading through sunday, eventually this front pushes further east. by the early hours of sunday, we see the rain arriving in the south—east of england. still mild here, but things turning cooler and fresher from the north—west. during the day on sunday, then, we have this frontal system across the uk. it is pushing away towards the east. so an improved day for western parts of the uk, particularly northern ireland, for instance. we should lose the rain fairly quickly. the sunshine reappears for western parts of scotland,

wales, and england. in the east, much cooler than saturday, with outbreaks of rain. but at least the winds would be a strong. some of us are about 10 degrees cooler on sunday compared to saturday. looking ahead into next week, after all the wind in the rain, things are looking quite for monday tuesday. but much cooler than they have been in the past few days. goodbye. welcome to bbc news, broadcasting to
