and a slightly cooler feel here during sunday afternoon with some blustery showers. further south, still quite mild — ten or 11 celsius. but not for long, because as we go into next week, we start to lose the milder yellow colours — they become confined to south—western fringes and elsewhere, it turns colder again. now, on monday, the winds will slowly ease down, so lighter winds, a mixture of variable cloud and sunny spells. but aside from one or two showers across northern scotland, it should be a dry day. but everywhere starting to feel cooler — temperatures up to between five and nine celsius. and that's how the week continues in the week ahead. the temperatures will be starting to slide away. here is an idea of our city forecast over the next five days. by the end of the week, temperatures not much higher than six or seven celsius. so, for the week ahead, it will turn colder, a return of the overnight frost and some of the showers could be wintry. vegas at ces this is bbc news, the headlines:
1:31 am
president trump has said he won't declare a national emergency to build a wall on the border with mexico — meaning there's no end in sight to the us partial government shutdown. in 3.5 hours it'll enter it's 22nd day — becoming the longest shutdown in us history. seven people, including a nine—year—old boy, have now been killed in the extreme weather across southern europe. heavy snow is still continuing to fall, bringing chaos to a number of the continent's alpine regions. the government's controversial universal credit system has been dealt another blow, after four working single mothers won a high court challenge against their payments varying every month. the department for work and pensions said it would carefully consider thejudgement. now on bbc news, it's time for click.
1:32 am
this week, the big hitters the 2019. starring: bed rockers. skintight suits. the new click in turn, and... queen # we will we will rock you... well, sort of. 2019 starts with the consumer electronics show in las vegas. this is where you come to see all the big new tax. the crazy new ideas and the occasional polar bear.
1:33 am
anything to get attention, basically, which is vegas all over. but what does it all mean? what will the coming year look like? what is the coming year look like? what is the important tech that you need to look out for? we are going to try and tell the story of ces 2019 by bringing new 20 minutes of tech in 19 minutes. —— 20 bits of tech. that isa 19 minutes. —— 20 bits of tech. that is a lot of stuff in not a lot of time. ces is always a mix of big trends and stuff and nonsense, i leave you to work out which is which. reset the clock, and we will start with some embedded always be here, tvs. the big screen technology here, tvs. the big screen technology here is 0led, and lg display is the only company making large 0led screens. only company making large 0led screens. the tec has several advantages. it can be curbed, it can do really black blacks, or it can be transparent. it can also be very thin and it can eat eight k which is
1:34 am
all the rage here, four times the resolution of four k. the simple structure of 0led means you can attach excises to the back of the display. they are really thin things that turn the whole display into a speaker. there are about five excisors on the back of this screen, and it really does sound like audio is coming from the right part of the picture. it is amazing, because it is. and finally this year, we have seen actual practical uses of possibly 0led's coolest feature, it can be dandy. flexible displays, what will they think of doing with them next. anyway, 0led, we are off and running. he comes lara with number two. if you have been meeting for a while to getting around to having an eye test but have not had time, the solution could be this. this device attaches to a smart
1:35 am
phone and you can test your own eyes. what you do is you look through, one eye at a time, there is a green line and a red line, and you need to get them to move closer together, just tap this button on top to do it, and... barely go. i hope i'm not going to learn anything surprising. repeat the process on each eye and from there if needed, it you will be told your production, so it you will be told your production, so you it you will be told your production, so you can it you will be told your production, so you can order glasses online. but you will probably also want to know what the numbers it comes up with actually mean. this one means you have slight nearsightedness. not too bad, but you may want to go to the eye doctor and just check out your eyes. so the job hasn't totally been done with this. at least it is a start, and each time a tested the device it came up with a consistent results. —— each time i tested the device. the new year, and you need.
1:36 am
—— new year, new me will stop various senses are analysing my motion, and the idea is they will tell me if i am using the correct posture when using various exercises. so if i am not doing my lunges correctly they will give me a good telling off. accelerometers, gyroscopes and compasses inside the suit measure what i am doing, and how i am doing it. it uses the accompanying app to berate me. you have two wirelessly charged up but it is machine washable, thank goodness. there is something we cannot unseat. number four, goodness. there is something we cannot unseat. numberfour, self driving cars. we are nowhere near having we ought on as cars on the road yet, but here is a demo where i
1:37 am
can use an apt to make a fairly autonomous car reversed out of its parking space and drive to a preprogrammed pickup spot. you have to have driven the route first, so it can learn it, but it can deviate from the route enough to avoid hitting things or people. there is loads of self driving car tech here at ces, but there are other exciting things going on in car as well, and daveis things going on in car as well, and dave is one of them. audi thinks it has come up with an idea to keep us more entertained while we are travelling in the back of a car. i'll check it out. how are we doing? enjoy the ride! this vr system was made in collaboration with disney, and it monitors data from the car's actual movements. so when i pull away, i really feel it, because the car is moving. what we have created isa car is moving. what we have created is a new category of content, because it is the first time that it is something that works best in the
1:38 am
car. i'm shooting in the game, i'm looking around, the movement is determined by where the car is moving. so i don't feel in control of where i am going, but it does make it feel very physical. i don't know, something about the combination of virtual reality and whizzing around on a racetrack did not feel too good. you said it would not feel too good. you said it would not make me notches, that was a lie. 0n the ces show floor i found a different approach. this is an effort by intel and warner brothers to imagine how we might entertain ourselves when cars are self driving. monitors coming up in a dramatic fashion. this is very futuristic. there is also this safety ta blet, futuristic. there is also this safety tablet, it displays data on what is happening around the car,
1:39 am
like in the real world. what is happening around the car, like in the realworld. that what is happening around the car, like in the real world. that was dave in a car. how are we doing. five down, plenty more to go, but we are going to stop counting throw few minutes to bring you some of the big announcements from ces this year. this place is full of weird and wonderful stuff. some you may think is slightly over engineered. everyone needs a smart light sabre obviously! you can track your success on a smart phone? every year thousands of companies bn small flock here to show off their wares, but usually the big three are notably absent. —— each and small. google broke the tradition last year though, attending to the first time. and this year, it really went to town. unveiled here is the google assistant‘s new town. unveiled here is the google assista nt‘s new interpreter mohd. town. unveiled here is the google assistant‘s new interpreter mohd. 0k google... be my french interpreter.
1:40 am
speaks french. i speak a little bit of french. it does not get it every time, but it is pretty slick. speaks french. thank you very much, goodbye. amazon is showing off its echo auto, making alexa unavailable to most cars. apple may not be here but is making some noise. we are thrilled to share a true first. samsung customers in over 100 countries will be able to enjoy a tune ‘s movies and tv shows. —— itunes. this itunes appetite out is unique to samsung, but other manufacturers are getting airplay,
1:41 am
which will be built into other tvs. as usual the stands are full of right tv. —— bright. samsung is showing off a micro led display which delivers extra high colour definition. the screen is made up of many tiny micro led ‘s, tightly grouped together, which can light up independently. this feature allows for very high contrast and extra bright images. and it is modular, so bits can be added to change its size and make for different viewing experiences. here is a 200 inch one. most tvs on show here are 8k, but most of the content isn't. this is where a! comes to the rescue. manufacturers are building artificial intelligence into tv sets to up—res the content it receives.
1:42 am
and it is all about al this year. be on voice activation for everything, even your toilet, ai is featuring in many smart devices. and i no longer need to worry how much energy my smart devices are using, because i have found a treadmill that will harness the power of my workout. i mightjust need harness the power of my workout. i might just need to harness the power of my workout. i mightjust need to go a little bit faster. that was lara, and now time to restart the clock. it turns out nick is not the only one who has been to the gym recently will stop i am facing up to a very unusual opponent. truth be known, i'm not skilled boxer, more into on boxing if you know what i mean, but it is leading the land the occasional hit. it infrared sensor keeps track of me and its reaction times can be set to match the skill of the opponent.
1:43 am
along with how tired it gets overtime and how many mistakes it makes, to give one a fighting chance. at the moment for some reason they have got this set to amateur mode, but... you can turn the sensitivity all the way up. at which point they say "no human can actually put past. this do that now. 0k actually put past. this do that now. ok now it is impossible to hit, evenin now. ok now it is impossible to hit, even in slow motion. all right, let's get professional in here. this is alex, middleweight champion and marginally better than me. he is playing the boxer in knockout mode and is doing all right. johnny'sjim
1:44 am
knockout mode and is doing all right. johnny's jim has been knockout mode and is doing all right. johnny'sjim has been here in las vegas for 70 years, and the most famous ox is in the world have disbarred here. george foreman, muhammad ali, mike tyson, and maybe alex will be among those names, one day. we have asked him to try out something that is on show at ces for the first time, something that helps to detect a massive problem in boxing and in sport generally. concussion. isync uses a modified vr headset to track our accurately alex's eyes can follow moving points. same deal, followed the target positions. the system can then tell whether there might be an underlying brain injury to be concerned about. here, the results show that alex's left brain responds better than his right. nothing to worry about at the moment but something which can be worked on. it is in use already by the golden state warriors basketball team here in the us, and isync‘s creators say the system could also help look for
1:45 am
early signs of dementia. meanwhile, nick has met a difference alex, who has created something to prevent injuries in the first place. not in boxing, but in cycling. today we know the main areas that are impacted during an accident are the head, the thorax and the knack. so this is why we decided to develop this is why we decided to develop this vest which protects those areas. 0k, ok, let's put it to the test. 0uch. let's see that an instant replay. embedded sensors follow the rider's
1:46 am
motion so when the speed or angle doesn't add up, it inflates in one tenth of a second, cushioning the impact. now, does this act as a flotation device? health tech is a lwa ys flotation device? health tech is always big at the show, but this year there are a few companies offering medication free pain relief. hypno vr is one, with what they describe as medical hypnosis, although the pain i was subjected to testing it was pretty minor. that didn't really hurt, but i'm not sure how much it would have hurt if i didn't have these on. there is no doubt that was relaxing. the idea is that some procedures could possibly be done with local anaesthetic instead of general anaesthetic if people were feeling calm enough. it is hard to meet a judge because obviously all i had to do was lie here. nothing was being done to me. apart from somebody pinching my
1:47 am
hand. thanks for that. but hey, i feel relaxed. how clean is your drinking water? here we have six cups of america's finest filter water, and if! cups of america's finest filter water, and if i get the test drop probe, i can move it slowly towards this plastic cup and it gives me a blue light, which tells me it is ok to drink. the accompanying app gives mea to drink. the accompanying app gives me a chance of contamination of a0%. ifido me a chance of contamination of a0%. if i do this to each of the other cups, we can see that that one is clea n cups, we can see that that one is clean as well. what it is actually doing is measuring the differences in the electric field for water that is contaminated and is not contaminated. now, what we haven't told it is that this last couple of filtered water has been spat in by the boss. and look. red light. yeah, so there is a chance of contamination, 90%. it feels a bit
1:48 am
like witchcraft, doesn't it, but it does seem to work. 0k, next up it is chris fox, who has been out in the sun. cheers. this is no ordinary suncream spray. my body and the droplets have been a electrically charged to give me a flawless coating. here i am putting on suncream by hand in front of the uv camera. suncream by hand in front of the uv camera. the suncream by hand in front of the uv camera. the suncream suncream by hand in front of the uv camera. the suncream absorbs uv light, so it shows up like here and makes it easy to see if i have missed a bit. could electrically charged spray offer better protection. so, here is how it works. 0n the spray bottle there are two metal pads and when you squeeze them it puts an electric charge into your body. the droplets it sprays are attracted to your skin. it is a bit like when your hair is attracted toa bit like when your hair is attracted to a balloon with static electricity. company that has made this is called wagner. they are a german company known for their industrial sprayers, so they are more used to coating car parts. the prototype sprays factor six and factor ten sunscreen, so it doesn't
1:49 am
look as dark on camera, but when i pulled back my top i was really surprised. it did give me a smooth coating of suncream. there are still some problems to iron out the prototype. 0ne some problems to iron out the prototype. one of them is that after using it, if you touch anyone you give them quite a nasty static shock. the second one is that you're not really supposed to use it on yourface. not really supposed to use it on your face. the company did warn not really supposed to use it on yourface. the company did warn me that those statically charged particles will stick everywhere on your skin. they find your way up your skin. they find your way up your nose, they go into your ears, they get into your eyes, even if you got your eyes closed. it is notjust the sunscreen. the company also plans to offer things like body oil. you can appreciate the applications where this might be useful, as with the sunscreen more perhaps with a spray tan. where getting an even coating is absolutely crucial. despite the surplus products on show, there has been a lot of talk about sustainability this year, and that includes how are we use our smart homes. what i have here is a smart homes. what i have here is a smart socket. the idea is that you
1:50 am
can charge or devices through this and as soon as they are fully powered, it will automatically switch itself off. not only does this make things safer, it will also mean that you should use less electricity. the one right here is the european version. it looks a little bit messy with all of the adapters we have attached. later this year there will be version is released for the rest of the world. while right now, the main use for this might be for laptops offer phones, the company hopes that in the future, people are going to be using it for electric bikes or cars. there is this smart switch, which, onceit there is this smart switch, which, once it is set up, doesn't need any leads any recharging. and at the touch of a button it can operate your sonos or your phillip hughes lighting. the nuemo click has energy harvesting which it claims to provide enough power byjust doing this to make it work. but for those who are more interested in
1:51 am
convenience, this infrared charging transmitter is hoping to help. a light signal is transmitted to be y charge receivers, which can either be in the form of plug—in chargers are actually embedded in the company's are actually embedded in the compa ny‘s own devices. are actually embedded in the company's own devices. but while this kind of charging may prove less energy—efficient, the company does hope as it will be used as part of an hope as it will be used as part of a n ecosyste m hope as it will be used as part of an ecosystem which makes it simple to turn this off whenever it is not in use. 0k, to turn this off whenever it is not in use. ok, that was sustainability item 12 of 20 done. right, let's rattle through some more. if you do come to ces don't forget to check out eureka park. this is where the new new ideas are being formed, including this. a fully customisable keyboard with an electronic ink display behind it, which means you can have, chinese, japanese, whatever you fancy. this is also whether —— weighed you will find your new companion robot. they are another big thing here this year.
1:52 am
this one is on the japanese external trade stand. meanwhile, in the french area, you can grab a drink and a snack from the butler box known as the fresh jeffrey 0rr france. that is the freshjeffrey of france. that is the freshjeffrey of france. it is a desktop dishwasher. you don't need to plug it in. just fill it up with a gallon of water, hit the button on the right, and it does your dishes. the bumpy roof looks cool, but it also disburses the water for a looks cool, but it also disburses the waterfor a more looks cool, but it also disburses the water for a more even clean. next, take some coloured plaster seemed, make a model, scan it with the client app, and then hit the arm eight button to bring it to life and rejoice as your monstrosity helps its way across the floor. —— clone app. that is augmented reality, number16, app. that is augmented reality, number 16, done. pretty app. that is augmented reality, number16, done. pretty cool, hey? but not as cool as nick kwek‘s. away from the show floor, i am going subzero, to test out a nifty new
1:53 am
wearable. better crank that up to 11. this is the amber wave wristband. it acts like your own personal air—conditioning unit, but instead of a, it uses a thermoelectric modules at a like heater. it is you regular pulses of heat, which will apparently change your body temperature, up to five degrees. i certainly need it in this baltic environment. 0k, degrees. i certainly need it in this baltic environment. ok, so it is not really suitable for such harsh conditions. it is intended more for the sudden temperature changes during the morning commute, or to improve your individual temperature in communal areas. heaven forbid you open a window or put on more clothing. may be warming up my wrists, but my toes are absolutely freezing. time to get a little warmer, i think. freezing. time to get a little warmer, ithink. getting freezing. time to get a little warmer, i think. getting a freezing. time to get a little warmer, ithink. getting a bit freezing. time to get a little warmer, i think. getting a bit too hot now. that's better. these show floor can get really exhausting. i think i need a lie down. while. that
1:54 am
feels a bit strange. there is a motor inside, moving it from side to side, and actually, this was the creation of somebody who had been on a cruise and enjoy the rocking movement so much they wanted to recreate it. and then hopefully, you will sleep like a baby. it's weird. it feels awkward when i close my eyes, it feels better to have my eyes, it feels better to have my eyes open, which is no use whatsoever for sleeping. maybe the bigger problem right now is that it is really a bit noisy to sleep around here, but luckily, i've got these, some active noise cancellation earbuds, which are specifically for sleeping. so, you put them in like this. the microphone in them will pick up the sound around you and will create some antinoise. so it feels like you can't hear anything in them as it drowns out the other sound. now, of
1:55 am
course i can still hear there is something going on here, it is this isa something going on here, it is this is a very loud environment, obviously nobody is going to sleep among noise like this. but it is definitely quieter. this sounds sounds a lot flatter. but the question is, can you get used to sleeping with this in your ears? and are they going to stay in? let's have a fidget around and see. and a huge round of applause for lara, with the number 19. the big clappers here, make it 20, we've done it, and thatis here, make it 20, we've done it, and that is worth a big hand to. these things are from japan. enough said. that is ces two to 19 all wrapped up. 20 things in 19 minutes. these are the only things that you need to bother about in the next year. u nless bother about in the next year. unless i'm wrong. in which case we will see you next week. hello.
1:56 am
the weekend is upon us and there will be some spells of sunshine around, like there was to end the day on friday in portsmouth. it will also briefly be feeling a little bit milder, but also increasingly windy and there will be a few showers around as well. in fact, for western parts of scotland, some persistent spells of rain. and that comes courtesy of this cold front which we can see here, already delivering some persistent rain across the western isles through the early hours of saturday morning and slowly sinking its way south and eastward, so for much of the uk, it will be a fairly cloudy day on saturday. increasingly windy, a few showers sinking their way southwards but tending to dissipate as they do but the showers will give way to a more persistent spell of rain initially across the east of northern ireland and later in the day across northern and western scotland and some of that rain just arriving into the far north of england as well. quite a windy day, particularly across scotland. that's an idea of average strengths but gusts could well touch 30 or a0 miles an hour.
1:57 am
but for many, a milderfeeling day, temperatures into double figures, around 10 or 11 celsius. 0vernight, it's cloudy, windy, a bit damp in places with some patchy drizzle but more persistent rain pushing its way across northern scotland and then slowly sinking its way southwards to arrive perhaps into the far north of england by dawn on sunday, but it will be a mild night — temperatures not much lower than seven or eight celsius. so here is how sunday shapes up. noticed how the isobars are really quite close together. it's an increasingly windy day. this cold front will be sliding its way southwards, tending to weaken as it does, just bringing a few showers. we'll see plenty of showers, though, piling into northern and western scotland. a much cooler feel to the day here. further south, some bright or sunny spells. increasingly windy, though, and this is an idea of average gusts through sunday afternoon — quite widely 30 or a0 miles an hour. for northern and western scotland, gusts up to 50 or 60 miles an hour and a slightly cooler feel here during sunday afternoon with some blustery showers. further south, still quite mild — ten or 11 celsius. but not for long, because as we go into next week, we start to lose the milder yellow colours — they become confined to south—western fringes and elsewhere, it turns colder again.
1:58 am
now, on monday, the winds will slowly ease down, so lighter winds, a mixture of variable cloud and sunny spells. but aside from one or two showers across northern scotland, it should be a dry day. but everywhere starting to feel cooler — temperatures up to between five and nine celsius. and that's how the week continues in the week ahead. the temperatures will be starting to slide away. here is an idea of our city forecast over the next five days. by the end of the week, temperatures not much higher than six or seven celsius. so, for the week ahead, it will turn colder, a return of the overnight frost and some of the showers could be wintry. welcome to bbc news,
1:59 am
broadcasting to viewers in north america and around the globe. i'm reged ahmad. our top stories: when the united nations made the request of us that we grant ms al-qunun asylum, we accepted. the prime minister of canada confirms his country has offered asylum to the saudi woman who had fled to thailand in fear for her life. president trump says he won't declare a national emergency to build a wall on the border with mexico, meaning no end in sight to the us government shutdown. it's the easy way out. but congress should do this. this is too simple, it's too basic, and congress should do this. heavy snow causes more widespread disruption in many parts of central europe, with some mountain villages evacuated.
