huge... when you say he was changed, he changed to fit in and that is what is so surprising, a brave story and interesting as well. it is later this morning but i encourage you if you get the chance, watch this film, like sheep, and we will talk to them later. —— black sheep. now it's time for the film review with ben brown and mark kermode. hello there and welcome to the full review here on bbc news, taking us through this week ‘s cinema releases is mark kermode. mark, what delights do you have? a mixed bag, we have the kid who would be king which is in our theory and update. we have a private war, a drama about a

real—life story. and jellyfish, a low—budget but ambitious extra. real—life story. and jellyfish, a low-budget but ambitious extra. so the kid who would be king, a kind of retelling of the legend of king arthur? yes, this is by joe cornish who make attack the block a while ago, louis plays this bullied kid named alex and he and his other equally bullied friend stumble upon a sword in stone and they pull it out and they take it back home and they realise that what they have stumbled on is the sword in the stone, the great our theory and story and now rises are cursed with morgana coming to threaten to recovery richard popovic and to ove rco m e recovery richard popovic and to overcome because they have to band together, much as arthur did, they have to pull together all of these rivals including the kids who once bullied them that they can overcome this rhetoric and evil. here is a step secular clip. everyone's vanished. it is like merlin said.

everyone's disappeared! alex, what are you doing? alex! run! alex! they are you doing? alex! run! alex! they are just made of bones. we can kill them! the right to more. we can't outrun them. what are we going to do? hey, can anybody drive? we lost one! it is catching up, on the left, oi'i one! it is catching up, on the left, on the left! get the last one! and everything will go back to normal! hold on! where did you learn how to drive? mario kart. the king arthur stories as you have never seen it

all before. exactly, the nice thing is there with spectacle, the kind of thing you expect from a harry potter movie but at heart this is closer to the spirit of the children's film foundation movie, it is aimed at a younger audience and it struggled to find an audience in america and i think it is because its sensibility is to make british but basically it is to make british but basically it isaof is to make british but basically it is a of disparate kids who have to put aside their differences in order to ta ke put aside their differences in order to take control of the future and i really like the fact thatjoe cornish as he did in attack the block really does believe that the future belongs to the younger generation and he seems to have great faith in the youngsters in his films and what i really liked about this was it was quirky and odd and it wasn't ashamed to be what it was which is a really sort of good, you know, romping movie with its heart com pletely know, romping movie with its heart completely in the right place and a younger audience with spectacle to spare and! younger audience with spectacle to spare and i suspect it will do a lot better here than it did in america because i suspect in america they just didn't quite get the jokes, didn't get the tone of it, but i was really charmed by it, do you know, i

thought it was, it had a magical speu thought it was, it had a magical spell to wit, i thought it was really charming, i really enjoyed it. all right, good, a private war, the story of marie colvin, a famous war correspondent who i actually knew a little bit. i will be interested to know what you think on it the film is based on vanity fair article from 2012, she went to the most dangerous place earth and start a huge price, it stars rosamond pica i think does a really good job of thinking her teeth into the role, i know people who knew her and say it isa know people who knew her and say it is a convincing corporate and there are two problems, the first is there has been some very good documentaries about colvin‘s under the wire i think recently played on the wire i think recently played on the bbc which is really i think it's to the heart of it. the second thing is it's not of the script isn't as good as the story is, finally enough it is written by the person who broke a corporate grace of monaco, the same writer, and the resourceful lot of clunky exposition and also the central idea that i think marie

colvin she never wanted to be the centre of a story. what she was interested in is getting to witness the in getting out there. that said, with those reservations, i think rosamond pica is terrific and in the current climate, any film that celebrates news journalist going current climate, any film that celebrates newsjournalist going in and getting a proper story at the time when ten pop despots are trying to unripejournalism, time when ten pop despots are trying to unripe journalism, i time when ten pop despots are trying to unripejournalism, i think it has ability. | to unripejournalism, i think it has ability. i interviewed matra hahnemann, the direct, and he was saying in a sense it was a portrait ofa saying in a sense it was a portrait of a session. and she was an obsessive. yes, and he says it is not a bio pic, it is a psychological paul tripodi comes from a documentary background, he made car tella bs documentary background, he made car tellabs which i think is extraordinary, this is less strong than some of his other work but i think this is good, not least rosamond's performance. jellyfish. this is a low—budget fish picture set in margate. leave hill is a young teenager, she has to work in an arcade to bring in money from the

younger siblings and her mother who is basically incapable of looking after the family. the mother is also as it turns out incapable of going and signing on to the company is in great financial straits and she is carrying the burden of caring for herfamily —— carrying the burden of caring for her family —— the carrying the burden of caring for herfamily —— the family is. there isa drama herfamily —— the family is. there is a drama teacher at school who sees in her something that he think she should challenge all of this pent upa she should challenge all of this pent up a motion that she has into stand—up comedy. here is a clip. stand up. i am standing up. your act, stand—up, as in comedy? ten minutes, knows where words. jokes? i wa nt minutes, knows where words. jokes? i want to go figure out what comedy is. but sir... no buts. here. ten. here. write these names down. bill

hicks. richard pryor. george carlin. chris rock. frankie boyle. these guys chris rock. frankie boyle. these guys are... chris rock. frankie boyle. these guys are... all guys. joan rivers, victoria wood, catherine ryan. now what i like about this is the subject matter is bleak, it is about a teenager holding a great burden of responsibility who is put in positions that no—one should be put in but she is tough and as a set played by live hill, i think you really invest in her character, and the vivacity of the performance is kind of offset the rumours of the subject matter. and i think you really do believe in her situation, the river great films by hsu truce and her mum and i think you really see the dynamic of this, you know, this young woman carrying the weight ofa this young woman carrying the weight of a family, carrying the weight of the responsibility and somehow, this

idea of turning it into a stand—up act offers a possible motive redemption. i think it is a very interesting first feature from james gardiner, it might be a little bit ofa gardiner, it might be a little bit of a film i spoke about a few months ago called pincushion which was again, you know, very low—budget, it had a kind of a real honesty to it andi had a kind of a real honesty to it and i think that we should expect to see very good things from the cast and director of this film and the future. all right, thank you, best out at the moment? i love if peel street could talk, i think it is a wonderful adaptation of the book, i think it had real lyrical beauty to it and think it had real lyrical beauty to itandi think it had real lyrical beauty to it and i think — i really want people to go and see it, again i think it is quite hard to find an audience for something so low—key. and if you loved man like you would love this? yes, i think this is better than moonlight. it is absolutely wonderful. test dvd? first man, it is about the moon landing but kind of isn't. it is about coming to terms with grief and it is, you know, it is using a

spectacular backdrop to tell a story. i thought this was a really, really great film but i was delighted to hear that you have, since i last saw ducal useful leave no trace which was my favourite form of last year. what did you think? i thought it was stunning and actually ididn't thought it was stunning and actually i didn't know it was a favourite from from last year and i stumbled on itand from from last year and i stumbled on it and i'd never heard of it and it is stunning, it is a beautiful portrait of a father— daughter relationship and a guy who has ptsd who just wants to be a loan from the rest of the world. yeah, and they are living off grid in the pacific northwest and they are found that they are brought back into society and they have to sort of loan to reintegrate and what i loved about it, made by debra granik who made winter's bone and has been overlooked in the awards because i think best film, best script, best at the, best actress, but the thing i loved most was it does that show don't tell, the reason no point in it were to cast sits around and says he is. this is what this thing means, you mean this to me and i means, you mean this to me and i mean this to you. it doesn't do

that, it is all to do with looks. so you knew nothing about it? absolutely nothing. 0k. which is sometimes the best way to see a movie, you have not read reviews, no expectations, no word of mouth, you see it and you love it or you hate it. i'm thrilled that you love it, a com pletely it. i'm thrilled that you love it, a completely unbiased recommendation, idid not completely unbiased recommendation, i did not tell you to see it, you saw it by accident and you love it. your film of last year, saw it by accident and you love it. yourfilm of last year, my saw it by accident and you love it. your film of last year, my film saw it by accident and you love it. yourfilm of last year, my film of this year. i have onlyjust caught up this year. i have onlyjust caught up with it. it is out on dvd now, leave no trace, the film that should be at the oscars but isn't. it is beautifully simple and quiet, yes. mark, thank you so much, but as the us usable, but is it for this week and thank you very much for watching. from both of us, good night. hello. this is breakfast with naga munchetty and charlie stayt. good morning. here's a summary of today's main stories from bbc news. the family of shamima begum, who ran away to syria to join the so—called islamic state group four years ago, has urged the government to help bring her home. the 19—year—old, who is pregnant, says she wants to come back to the uk for the sake

of her unborn child. it's thought she understands she may have to face a police investigation and possible terrorism charges if allowed to return. thousands of criminals will be monitored 24 hours a day by new electronic tags that use satellite signals to track their exact location. the government says the scheme is designed to protect victims and cut down the need for short—term jail sentences. however, during a trial run wearers reported the tags were uncomfortable and caused heightened anxiety because of a fear of accidentally breaching the conditions. the funeral‘s taking place in argentina of footballer emiliano sala, who was killed when his plane crashed into the english channel. the 28—year—old had signed for premier league club cardiff city two days before he died. he'll be laid to rest in his hometown of progreso. the body of his pilot, david ibbotson, has not yet been found. a 27—year—old man has been charged with the murder of three elderly men in exeter.

the route is used by 300,000 people a day. passengers are being warned that journeys will be "significantly longer" and trains will be much busier than usual. nigeria's presidential elections have been postponed by a week, just hours before polls were due to open across the country. the independent national electoral commission blamed the delay on logistical difficulties, after reports of problems distributing voting material. but both of the main candidates blamed each other for orchestrating the postponement, as a way of manipulating the vote. universities in england would face a clampdown on pay for senior staff under a labour government, according to the shadow education secretary. angela rayner will today tell the lecturer‘s union that the office for students, which regulates universities, is not "fit for purpose". she says vice—chancellors should not be paid a salary more than 20 times greater than the lowest earner. the organisers of the oscars say they've abandoned plans to present four awards during the

ceremony‘s ad breaks. the decision not to broadcast the winners of categories including cinematography and film editing prompted hundreds to sign a petition in protest. the 91st academy awards take place next sunday. those are the main stories. it is 6:33 a.m.. it is time to talk to mike. time forand 6:33 a.m.. it is time to talk to mike. time for and upset? all the ingredients for a fantastic fa cup tie. the gulf between these two, when you consider the history, the x—files, newport, went out of business in 1989, and they fought their way back up —— exiles. it was in 2013 when they fought their way back. still a leak to team up against manchester city. you said about an upset, in the last couple of seasons newport have knocked out

leaves, leicester, middlesbrough, and they drew at home with spurs —— leeds. are they are strong as manchester city? no. but with a crowd anything can happen. manchester city? no. but with a crowd anything can happenlj manchester city? no. but with a crowd anything can happen. i would like anything to happen. it would be one of the biggest upsets of all time. when you consider the giantkilling pedigree that newport cou nty giantkilling pedigree that newport county have got at the last couple of seasons you would not put it past them, as they try to pull off what would be their biggest upset ever, according to their manager. the league two club from south wales will host the premier league champions manchester city for the chance to reach the quarterfinals. we have got to believe we have a chance of winning. they are exceptional. the first in, the second then, that they deem, i think the under—23 is ar—raqqah team as well. it is going to be a very difficult evening ——is really good as well. we have to go in there and play to the highest level that we can play at and hopefully a few of

them have an off day, because then it will get interesting. they are taller and stronger than us. they are taller and stronger than us. in some areas that they are better than us. and you have to try to bring our game and the way we are stronger than them. which team is going to control these areas or bring their own game in their own side, it will be an advantage to us. the weekend's action got under way last night. and watford are the first team into the quarter—finals. they beat qpr 1—0 at loftus road. etienne capoo, was fortunate that the ball fell to him, but then made no mistake once it did. the leaders of rugby union's premiership, exeter, had a bit of a shock last night. gloucester came from behind to beat them by 24 points to 17 — ben morgan scoring the try that ensured his side became only the third to beat exeter this season. and in the pro14, edinburgh fought off a spirited dragons side to secure a crucial bonus—point win, and stay in the hunt for a play—off place.

john higgins' bid to retain the welsh open snooker title is over. the four—time world champion was beaten in the quarter—finals byjoe o'connor, who's number 102 in the world. he only turned professional last year and this is the furthest he's made it in a ranking tournament. that is a big upset. just over two years ago british sprinterjames ellington, was injured in a road accident, alongside fellow sprinter nigel levine. the pair were riding on motorbikes when they were involved in a crash in tenerife. reports at the time suggested that ellington's injuries were "career ending", but he's made a remarkable recovery, and is ready to return. a lot of people going he has already achieved it. but in my head, for me, i have always done athletics to be, kind of, i want to be one of the best in the world, or i want to be the best. i love the sport, but i don't want to do itjust to keep it.

so when i come back, that is not a question, i will be back. but that is not my goal. my goal is to come back and be the same if not better than i was before. amazing recovery. more athletics for you shortly. you will like this. the russian president vladimir putin, took a break from his duties to take part in a friendly ice—hockey match alongside the president of belarus, alexander lu kashenko. he showed off his warm—up skills, as the two political heavyweights, took to the ice in the russian resort city of sochi, after a meeting on culture, education and sport. both presidents played on the same side — and beat the opposing team by 16 goals to one. you don't think they were letting them win, do you? do you? powerful presidents on the other team. oh

dear, another one has got in. what a good shot that was! he has been very busy, mr putin. i will tell you this later on. he is grappling with a judo olympic medallist. i will let you decide who won, who ended up flat on their back. oh. he has a fine tradition in those situations. everytime there is only one winner. it is the it goes. do is to argue? the athletics season gathers pace today with the muller indoor grand prix at arena birmingham. it's live this afternoon on bbc one and alongside some of the biggest names in british athletics will be a rank outsider, myself in lane four for one of the 60 metres. it's an experiment to see how fast the elite athletes are compared to a fan off the sofa. i've had some coaching at the winter training camp in tenerife. we came to tenerife for the winter

sun, but not like most to sit on the beach. owed it, no, right in the centre a stadium of hard work and sweat, where the warm weather helps our athletes run fast in the season ahead. for us, we want to get some speed working and get our legs working. it make such a difference coming to conditions like this. working. it make such a difference coming to conditions like thism is all about your mood, not just about your training. is all about your mood, not just about yourtraining. in is all about your mood, not just about your training. in the sun yue feel a lot better and if you feel better you perform better, trained at, perform better. iwas better you perform better, trained at, perform better. i was having some summit with a spring in my head. my introduction to sprinting was a rude awakening. before i could even start there was an hour—long warmup. # this world can hurt you... lam # this world can hurt you... i am getting pulled off balance.- times i thought i had stepped onto the dance floor. you look like you

are ina the dance floor. you look like you are in a cabaret dance. we are going to move forward with it. or entered into the ministry of silly walks. all this was essential, though, because sprinting is all about explosive bursts. and unless all my muscles were ready i would risk an injury stayed away. building a loss of muscle groups. you wouldn't believe that i don't go to the gym that often. laughter. a couple of weeks were, maybe. then it was time to learn a whole new way of running. as he sprinted into strappy floor with a straight leg. you start off with smaller steps and worked up into bigger steps ——as you sprint you tend to hit the floor.m is totally different to the longer distance plotting i am used to, which is why you don't often see sprinted out for a job.|j which is why you don't often see sprinted out for a job. i am doing a one milejob with sprinted out for a job. i am doing a one mile job with my wife in the park in 2016, and after 800m i ate cramped up ——job.

park in 2016, and after 800m i ate cramped up —— job. my body is finally junta to cramped up —— job. my body is finallyjunta to sprinting in reducing the power. when you see it close up you realise how explosive and what a different way of running it is. and this is going to be some experiment to see how any event, a mere mortalfrom the experiment to see how any event, a mere mortal from the sofa experiment to see how any event, a mere mortalfrom the sofa gets experiment to see how any event, a mere mortal from the sofa gets on over 60 metres and how far i can get left behind. i would say you would bea left behind. i would say you would be a roundabout two seconds to 2.5 seconds, which might be about 25 metres, 20 metres. the main thing is we need to teach you how to get out of the blocks properly, because it isa of the blocks properly, because it is a little different to a standing start. i would be responsible for setting down my blocks and they're not falling over as a arch into position. 78 steps, just head down. rising to it. -- seven or eight steps. the next time i would be doing this would be in lane four in the stadium in front of a sellout crowd. really impressive. head down,

shoulders were good. how to make sure we get the reaction right. i think ready to go. you look like a powerhouse. only little legs, though. little steps. sometimes they can get you out of the blocks quicker. you might surprise us. 0k, let ok, let us is that the marker. rhys prescott, the british number one that we saw, two weeks ago he ran 60 metres in 6.53 seconds. the second in the world this year. what do you think? for you? we in the world this year. what do you think? foryou? we want in the world this year. what do you think? for you? we want to show you some of the fastest movers in the world. a formula one car, then you have a cheater, the ostrich, usain bolt, although he doesn't run 60 metres. the tort is, pretty quick for a waters. 214 seconds. what is your guess? obviously between those

outliers. i will go for15 your guess? obviously between those outliers. i will go for 15 seconds. 15?! is that quite bad? it is quite slow. you are being realistic or stop if i burst out of the blocks and pull something...” stop if i burst out of the blocks and pull something... i am genuinely just pulling numbers out of the air. for seconds. is that more reasonable? i think you will do surprisingly well. this is my gamble. ithink surprisingly well. this is my gamble. i think you will go at about 9.1. ithink gamble. i think you will go at about 9.1. i think i could do 9.1. gamble. i think you will go at about 9.1. i think i could do 9.1.|j gamble. i think you will go at about 9.1. ithinkl could do 9.1. i like you, charlie. you are believing in me. i know you have a peculiar sort of determination. albeit that the second fastest man in the world described you as, what was it?m that it was like a powerhouse. slightly overweight. it could come. who knows, in the moment, with the crowd ? who knows, in the moment, with the crowd? i had a dream last night that jeremiah and michael false started, brandinjo jeremiah and michael false started, brandin jo fell over, and jeremiah and michael false started, brandinjo fell over, and i came in third and got a bronze medal. these

are the ones you are racing against. they are all under—23! are the ones you are racing against. they are all under-23! laughter. what if they get to the start line and look across and wonder what is going on. that could work in your favour. that could mess with their heads. they could be expecting prime competition. suddenly they could be really faced by seeing your, no disrespect. there is a challenge ahead for the commentator to try to keep a straight face. he will. i'm sure they will absolutely embrace it. a little teaser, left it hanging. we were talking about vladimir putin playing hockey and the team perhaps winning. he was up against a judo olympic medallist, you know, how do you think ended up flat on the back? the way you look it up flat on the back? the way you look itupi flat on the back? the way you look it up i guess it is the gymnast. no. vladimir putin ended up on his back. he was sent flying during the

session. he jumped back he was sent flying during the session. hejumped back to his free —— feet, but the pictures of him sprawled on the match were a p pa re ntly sprawled on the match were apparently censored. there is a surprise. is she ok? i am sure she is fine. she is tough. what time is the race? the coverage starts on bbc one at1:15 p.m.. the race? the coverage starts on bbc one at 1:15 p.m.. we will show you on breakfast tomorrow if they haven't already. i think i while the temperature and news from matt and i mean that in the nicest way, there are a lot of contrasting temperatures. good morning. we saw a degreejump temperatures. good morning. we saw a degree jump of 19 degrees from —3 two plus 17 in a few spots, plus 16, 17 was the ultimate high in north wales. today, not so extreme, not as cold out there and temperatures will get what is high because we have cloud. but it stays mild, breezy,

mostly dry, and some rain in the forecast. certainly more cloud is mentioned today compared with yesterday, rain bearing cloud, it held off the atlantic but the cloud we have in scotland, northern england produces patchy rain and drizzle. some breaks here, the morning sunshine, east anglia and the south—east has a touch of frost, wilder than yesterday morning and through the day, the cloud will come and go with cloud and conditions across southern and go with cloud and conditions across southern areas and go with cloud and conditions across southern areas in the afternoon so no complete blue skies like yesterday but perhaps brightening across the channel islands and a few bricks here and there but temperatures at the highest above east anglia 13—14, a south—westerly wind, north england seeing sunshine in the afternoon, sunny spells and one or two showers, the morning drizzle in scotland clears into the afternoon the best of the front—runner in the eastjust a few showers in orkney and shetland called here for the rest of the country as you saw double—figure temperatures into the teens in the

summer were dropped during the night, particular northern ireland heat from a strong northerly wind, oppressive rain developing later in the night most will these guys gradually clear a bit flow cloud into the morning across parts of north—east england but we all should be frost friend till tomorrow, temperatures ranging from 5— 10 degrees. we have got low pressure towards the west but it is getting close enough to push the weather front our way. a weakening weather front our way. a weakening weather front as we go through the day producing wet conditions in the morning in northern ireland but you will see sunshine into the afternoon. the rain hits parts of western scotland, showery rain pushing into wales western areas of england before fading some parts of central eastern england staying dry through the day seemed to the eastern scotland and western areas, better into the day then you start with sunshine around. wild, temperatures peaking 15 or 16. monday, perhaps cooler, windy across the north. winds close to 40 or 50

miles an hour were, outbreaks of rain and drizzle comes and goes. future was in northern ireland and one or two for england and wales but again, dry weather, temperatures 10-13. with a again, dry weather, temperatures 10—13. with a westerly or south—westerly wind but dominating throughout next week, we will stay on the mild side and really for the rest of february, it doesn't look like the cold weather will return in any great hurry. let's enjoy this weekend while we have it. i am loving all of the faqs you are sending through, can you remember the one you told me in august? temperatures 28 degrees? 1936! one degree in the morning and then up 27 in the afternoon. 28, yeah, over 28, it is because i am fascinated and a few people are in the temperature disparities we are seeing across the day and it isn'tjust disparities we are seeing across the day and it isn't just a disparities we are seeing across the

day and it isn'tjust a february thing. it can happen at any time of the year in the uk and it certainly makes for big wardrobe dilemmas wherever you are. that, thank you. i the only one talking about temperatures before i the only one who was confused that we are talking about temperatures in august? we are talking about huge temperature disparities, not only in the winter but also in the summer. so while we do temperatures for every month of the year? if we have to, we will! now on breakfast, it's time for click. massive attack's teardrop plays. it is pretty far out there, but it really suits the music

and what they're about, i think. in his birmingham studio, artist harley davies is painting a unique work that is much, much more than meets the eye. it's mind—blowing to think that, when you consider how much data there must be out there. it's interesting for the future, i'd say. the artwork is the album cover of the hugely popular and influential mezzanine album by massive attack. and to celebrate its 20th anniversary, the band agreed to have this music encoded in dna and then added to several spray paint cans. it means harley's painting will hold thousands of copies of the album and to find out how, i have come here to a lab in zurich, to meet one of the pioneers of using genetic codes to store data. and so here's the freezer where we keep the dna. right, ok, this is where the magic happens. exactly.

so in here. it comes in an enormous box, all really cold. and you buy in dna? we buy in the dna. dr grass has encoded the music already to be sequenced into the dna. that work is done by one of several companies now offering genetic code to order. so they make the dna in the sequence that encodes for the album. so we have the sequence of a, c, t and g and so they take a and then the other c and the other t so that will encode for, i don't know, 0010 something like that. and then you have to make — because the album is much more than just a few zeros and ones — you have to make a lot of those dna sequences. so the whole album is distributed over the tubes so there is no particular order. it starts at the beginning and at the end and so, every tube contains a million different short dna sequences and every sequence has a number stored in it to tell us where it sits in the overall picture of the album.

so inside this tube is effectively about the equivalent of one of the tracks on the album. and how much does this cost? 50 megabytes, $1,000 per megabytes. that's about $15,000 to store the album. it's a lot but you only have to do that once and then you can make enormous amounts of copies of it, because one key advantage of dna, i think, over all storage technologies we have, that essentially for free — nearly for free — you can make billions of copies. i don't know if you see it, it's a very small blob. oh, wow, ok. so that — there's an opaque section at the end of this tube. in there, there's billions of very, very small glass particles and in the glass particles, we have encapsulated the dna.

so we have grown glass around — we've directed glass to grow around the dna. and it protects the dna. very similar to what you know from amber. right, and the amber is protecting it from decaying for potentially millions of years. exactly. and here, for millions of years, in our dna in the glass, for probably 1,000 years, it protects the album from decaying. so you can still hopefully play it in 1,000 years. how many copies of the album are inside here then? just the one? no, so we put a million copies inside. even if you don't spray with the whole can, you certainly have a copy of the album in there. so harley's picture paints much more than a thousand words. it's not only the first album cover artwork to actually include the album. a painting this size could store enough data to hold every album, picture, photo, book and a recording, audio and film ever created in the history of mankind.

so how can we read the information? well, that's one fly in the amber at the moment. this machine takes 17 hours to do it. it's come down from about a week but still, imagine pressing play and waiting that long. so we may be several years away from dna being practicalfor storage but at least it will hang around for thousands of years, and in a format we will always recognise when we see it. or hear it. a few weeks ago, we visited the amazon spheres — part of the tech giant's headquarters in seattle. we met the people behind its voice recognition tool, alexa, and saw what else we'll be talking to soon. as the tech gets better, it could one day become the way

that we interact with our devices. now, that prompted this question from a viewer: thanks, simon, that's a really good point and, yeah, apple homepod gives some control to deaf users through the use of a touchpad, but nowhere near enough to really use it. google's assistant can control a smart device by typing requests on a smartphone, and the captions feature is available on the versions of alexa with a screen — news, weather and climate can be activated with tap. all of this is quite basic.

so abhishek singh has decided to show them how it could be done. he's created a simple algorithm to do this. the camera sees what he signs and turns it into text that alexa can understand and respond to. now, it only does a few words but the point is to inspire the big companies into action. last month, google released a couple of new accessibility apps for deaf users who use its android devices and laura and click trainee, maddie, have been putting them to the test. i lost my hearing when i was seven and about a year after that i got a cochlear implant which has helped me a lot, but even now in certain situations i find it really hard to hear. so when i'm in noisy cafes, or at a dinner party, my hearing is not the best. we've deliberately come to a coffee shop where there's real everyday noise all around us to demonstrate these. maddie here has been testing them

in various different environments. we are going to start off with google live transcribe. and it does what it says instantly and simply creating a script of your conversation. it can do so in 70 languages and dialects, with quite impressive accuracy, it seems. yeah, it seems to do really, really well with people talking. with one or two people talking, it works really well. obvoiusly, the further away you get from it the worse it gets and the closer you get, the more accurate it becomes. so the underlying technology is automatic speech recognition technology and what that is is that's a way of us taking all sorts of known speech from recordings and basically training algorithms on top of it so that it learns all the nuances, all of the contexts that we understand as people. we also have here google's sound amplifier app.

you need to attach a pair of headphones to the device and from there, it can turn up the volume on different elements of what you are listening to. so it may be the quieter background noise you want to make louder, while keeping the main sounds you are listening to at the time, which could be some music, at the same volume. now, how useful did you find this was, maddie? i thought it was quite cool that you could play music and still hear stuff from the outside world at the same time. the phone's microphone picks up the ambient sound and, from there, the machine learning and artificial intelligence isolate the elements. that could make it possible to, say, make speech louder and the sound of an air conditioning unit quieter. people with worse hearing, it would be much more useful because it just boosts that noise around you. so when you're less comfortable with your hearing, it gives you that little bit of security that you could have that little bit of extra volume. it took be a good 30 minutes,

just focusing on the app, playing with all the toggles, because it builds into the settings on your phone, so it took me a while to find the right settings for me. these are what i would call accessibility first applications, in that we're not taking an existing product and making it more accessible. we're making, in both cases, the real world more accessible using these technologies that exist on a smartphone and in the cloud today. the big game changer was back in 2014, when the first hearing aids with the ability to communicate with and iphone came out. that then opened up a lot of possibilities. because you've not just got the processing power of the hearing aid, you've got the processing power of the smart phone as well. apple added similar functionality to their airpods last year, with live listen allowing you to place your phone or ipad near the sound you want amplified. and now starkey, one of the leading hearing aid brands, will be adding full detection and a virtual assistant to their device that already features live translation

and activity tracking. a live translation feature is promised, along with activity tracking, and an app to host a whole lot of data. it looks at your constant communication with other people and therefore, it's measuring how much social interaction you're having. and there are also sensors inside the hearing aid, so motion sensors inside the hearing aid, which are looking at how much motion you've got. there has been found to be a relationship between cognitive decline and hearing health. but when it comes to google's latest releases, even if they're not proving quite perfect yet, they do harness the power of the fiercest weapon most of us have on us all the time. that's it for the shortcut of click for this week. the full—length version is up on iplayer, waiting for you right now. and don't forget, we also live across social media —
