in a bid to keep them going. hello, and welcome to inside out. how safe is your home? we're going to show you how hackers could get in through your smart devices. he's doing that from greece? yeah. so he's got control of the lighting system. meet the boy who's died twice. now thanks to a pioneering unit in cambridge, zach is learning to live again. the father, the son and the holy spirit... and helping to save our beautiful ancient churches. i spend a very hectic sunday with the super vicar from suffolk. the stories that matter closer to home. i'm david whiteley and this is inside out. hello and welcome to the programme. now, we're using the internet more and more to help us with stuff around the house. smart technology to help make our lives easier, but as we're about to show you, someone else could take control of your house.
1:31 pm
joe taylor investigates. adrian gardner is a bit unusual. he plans his week's viewing the old —fashioned way. unlike most of us, he has no wi—fi and no catch—up tv, so he has to get inventive. you haven't got iplayer or catch—up? no, not at all. i mean, it is possible to still get devices that record television. i don't have one of those at the moment, but if it's like a good drama or something i'll wait for the dvd to come out. you're very patient. at least his telly‘s not black and white. adrian's a technical operator at the bbc in cambridge. and so he does like his gadgets, just not any connected to the internet. he has no wi—fi. you made the decision about a year ago to come off grid.
1:32 pm
what does that mean? fundamentally, it meant disconnecting from the internet on a home basis. i mean, i still have to use the internet at work, but it was closing all accounts i had with online retailers and any online forums that i was using. for me, i don't want to be tracked and monitored with everything that i do. doesn't everyone think you're a bit mad? well, mixed reactions. some people think i'm a bit of a dark—age fossil. others find that it's a "oh, that's quite novel." adrian doesn't want any smart tech in his house. but is he right to be worried? we've come to the ultimate smart house to find out. going to let ourselves in here with an old—fashioned key. but if i owned it i'd just put my fingerprint right there. let's go. let's see what this house can do atjust the click of a button. with over 200 internet connected devices in it, this home seems to have it all.
1:33 pm
so, this is the kitchen. here we've got two ovens connected to the internet, so it can tell you anywhere in the world when your food has finished cooking. as well as the ovens, the coffee machine, water softener heating and lighting is all controlable by the internet. alexa. living room. evening, on. again, all linked to the internet. but could someone snoop on me through these devices? ken munroe and his team are cyber security specialists from buckinghamshire, and with the owner's permission they're going to see just how hackable this house is, notjust from here but from another country. hey, how you doing? yeah, i'm fine. how's the weather out in greece? it's rather snowy. i'm talking to my colleague who is based in greece and he's been having a look at the system that controls the smart house here. and we found a vulnerability in one of them that we think we can use to take control of a lot
1:34 pm
of the smart home tech here. so, how's about we have a go at taking control of the lighting system? let's see if we can turn the lights off. well, there you go. he has just turned the lights off, and then on again, in this house, from greece. that's really scary. and he's doing that from greece? yes. so we've got control of the lighting system. that's a start. how's about something a bit more sinister? do you think you could have a go at turning the heating off? yep, he's managed to control the heating too. so, what we going to do next? well, let's see if we can get access to the cameras. lots of people have got cctv and webcams in their houses. let's see if we can get access to one running on the front door. he hacks into the camera. and can now see us at the front door. what does this prove? this shows that anyone anywhere
1:35 pm
in the world can hack smart houses. you don't have to be next door. you don't have to be down the road — anywhere in the world. according to ken, it's down to a security flaw in the way the main smart system has been designed, not because the owner of this house has set up the security poorly. and there's other ways into this house too. another way is exploiting a streaming device called chromecast from google, and we can compromise that and send anything we like to your telly. ken is now controlling the tv and can send voice commands to alexa. alexa, living room, evening off. you can use this method to do things like set alarms for3:00 in the morning. you can say creepy things out of your tv to freak you out. i'm watching you. but the one that bothers me most is that you can use this method to order things on people's amazon accounts. and that's because if your amazon account is linked to your alexa, you can use voice commands to shop.
1:36 pm
so ken could, in theory, start buying himself some treats at someone else‘s expense. amazon say it's not their device that has been hacked. security measures have been taken and there are extra precautions people can take, like installing a voice pin for purchases and muting alexa when out of the house. google say they're working on an update to prevent attacks of chromecast, that an attacker has to be nearby for the hack to work, and network passwords aren't affected by the attack. ken and his team only managed to control six devices out of 200 in this house, because it's been set up so securely. the rest of us are leaving ourselves increasingly vulnerable either by buying tech that has security glitches or by not securing it properly ourselves. ken does a sweep of the uk to show me how insecure our devices are. it's getting worse.
1:37 pm
it's horrific. so people are setting stuff up at home without doing strong passwords. the manufacturers are letting us down in terms of security in many cases, so the problem's getting worse. ken shows me the scale of the problem. we've got some cctv cameras here, so small businesses and large homes. and we found 15,000 of these in the uk alone... 15,000?! without security done properly. so you can click into these and see people's houses, businesses, inside their bedrooms — you name it. so, whose fault is that? the user because they haven't put a password on or something? no, in this case it's actually the manufacturer. they completely made a mess of the security of the camera. so anyone can come along, jump into it and see what's going on. and even in cambridge, the tech hub of the uk where you'd hope people got security right, we still found over 30 of these cameras out there ready for people to hack. we're just looking at one brand of one device. but there are billions
1:38 pm
and billions out there — at least a quarter of homes have smart tech in them. imagine how many others are vulnerable. it's impossible to know how often people get hacked, but ken has these tips for us to stay safe in the future. so, the first thing i want you to do is i want you to sort your passwords out. download a free password manager app that makes and manages all your passwords for you so you don't have to remember passwords again. no having to remember complicated things any more. make it really simple. next thing, check your wi—fi key, your wi—fi password at home. make sure it's not the one on the side of your home router, it's one that you've set that's long and complicated and only you know. and the last thing i want you to do is update everything — update the apps on your phone, update software on your phone. make sure everything is kept up—to—date. because software updates fix security bugs. many of us would rather take the risk and have the gadgets. but what about adrian?
1:39 pm
to be honest, no, i don't actually see the relevance and benefit to me. but if you ever win the lottery one day and have a massive mansion you might be tempted? i think if i ever win the lottery i'd probablyjust have a desert island somewhere that doesn't have any internet at all! here's a shocking statistic: every year around 40,000 children seriously injure their brain. people like zach, who died twice and was left helpless after a fall in the playground. but now a pioneering project in cambridge is getting startling results for zack and others like him. here's our science correspondent richard westcott. for most teenagers this would be a doddle. going to the shop and buying some cake ingredients. but is—year—old zach's just learning to shop alone. he rings mum kat for some reassurance. hi, darling.
1:40 pm
hey, ijust want to make sure i have the right things. granulated sugar, and self raising flour. no, you need plain flour. 0k. don't tell me you bought any chocolate. no, ididn't. are you sure you didn't buy any chocolate? after bagging them up and making sure he's got the right change, it's back home to bake the cake. another new skill zach's trying. george! did i hear my name? george. have i got the payment we agreed earlier? did you manage to get it? yes. thank you. i see, you get something and i don't! well done. don't you don't you go anywhere, you've still got to do some as well. a decade ago, zach was an everyday kid — sporty and doing well in class. then he banged his head at school.
1:41 pm
no—one knows how. kat says she was only rung several hours later. so, you know, we think of a brain injury. you think you're going to turn up there's going to be blood, there's going to be swelling. so there was no sign at all we'd hurt himself? the only son that it hurt himself was that he looked like a drunk person. he was like this, like really woozy, "mummy, i'm scared. "mummy help me." that's what i saw. then he vomited on me. that's when i thought it was concussion, because i thought "what can cause this?" you're thinking on your feet, you're in shock. you don't know what's going on. your son's all over the place and you're thinking — "what?!" without anyone realising, zach had damaged the blood vessels around his brain, and they were bleeding. by the following afternoon in hospital, he's died — twice. and a nurse said to another nurse, "it's a miracle" they didn't need to resuscitate him.
1:42 pm
he came back, he was brain dead, and he'd fought his way back. and he did. around 40,000 children injure their brain each year either through an accident, an assault, a tumour, an infection, or a stroke. i have three children, i love them all equally, but i couldn't imagine living without one of them. the brain is enclosed in a shell, isn't it? and you know what that equates to? a child is like an egg that could fracture so easily and it can only take one fall. like so many people who injure their brain, zack survived but his personality didn't. i've done my best. apologies. subside. 0k, right, now you need to add the zest. i had a highly intelligent child with a photographic memory. he was a natural sportsman, very happy all the time, to a child that was angry, to a child that was physical,
1:43 pm
to a child that screamed, to a child that had to learn how to use his limbs again. whoa! that was good catch. zach used to beat me up daily and swear at me and he used to say it was my fault, what happened. for a decade kat struggled, mostly alone, to piece him back together. then six months ago she found help that's transforming both their lives. too easy? clinical psychologist dr susanna watson put zach through his paces at the cambridge centre for paediatric neuropsychological rehabilitation. a complex name for a simple idea. when a young person has had an injury like zach's, they need all the expertise, and what's great for the families is they get to come to the service and they see everybody who they might need to see in one place, rather than having to go
1:44 pm
to multiple different services, which can take years sometimes. it's a one—stop shop to rehabilitate young people who've injured their brain. and the only service of its kind in the uk. it's one of just a handful in the world. the centre pulls together experts on the skills needed to rebuild a life for the children and for their families. the latest case — a girl who was hit by a car. and i guess some of the bits of assessment show she may well not be fully taking onboard things that are going on around her. i mean, it'sjust so devastating that her friends potentially may be going off to college and she may have to stay in school for another year in order to get the gcses. that must be really difficult for her. i think we need to think about what we can do, next steps. they said...
1:45 pm
i can go into school next week, just find out you know how she's managing that one to two hours, whether an increasing that time is realistic at this time. i can work with school to come up with some sort of reintegration plan. they need all the expertise of the people in this team. they need to be seen under the lens of a neurologist, a psychiatrist, an educational psychologist, an occupational therapist, a speech and language therapist. we need all of those people's expertise to make sense of what that means for them now, for what that means for their ability to access the curriculum, to make friends, to be able to participate in the same way as their peers. they draw up an action plan for each patient and critically they show the child's family and school teachers how they can help with the recovery. for zach's mum it's been a lifeline. susanna, i would say, is the first person that understands and understanding is so important
1:46 pm
to feel understood and to be helped. if they don't get help people with a brain injury can become isolated and struggle to control their impulses, and society pays a high price. studies suggest they're far more likely to commit a crime and wind up in prison. shockingly, around 60% of young adult offenders say they've suffered a brain injury. it can happen very young. yet the full effects lay hidden for years. neuropsychologist fergus gracey describes a brain injury as a biological earthquake. so you could injure your brain at around the age of say five, and you might see some difficulties there. but what you won't see is the difficulties that child might have at the age of say 15. so, five, ten years down the line we might see an adolescent who uses inappropriate language,
1:47 pm
whose behaviour is not right for the situation, who misses social cues. and that might be put down to that person's sort of bad behaviour, if you like. but really it's a consequence of the injury that they had back when they were five. get the cake out of the oven, put it oi'i get the cake out of the oven, put it on to there. the child will never be their old self again, but with this combined help they can learn to cope with everyday life and so can the people around them. the support i get from cambridge centre is amazing and it should be available to all parents whose children go through this sort of experience, because i've done a lot on my own, yes, and got quite far. but i've always felt very isolated. now i don't feel alone. oh, it's good, isn't it? the sights, sounds, and cosy feel of a lazy sunday morning breakfast.
1:48 pm
the scene replicated across the land. but it's never been a day of rest. if you're a vicar. sunday is busiest day of the week here, and for the man whose breakfast we've interrupted, it's exceptionally busy. he hasn't gotjust one church to look after not two or three. he's a supervicar, overseeing nine churches in his part of suffolk. is it quite difficult thinking you've got to get to all these different churches to do all these services? yes. and i'm leading worship. so i want to be in a place where i'm worshipping as well. you have to feel connected yourself to god, otherwise you're not going to be able to conduct the service. yes. so rather than just
1:49 pm
rush and kind of "go", you want to be there for the whole service to spend time with people and feel that you're leading them and you are worshipping yourself as well. i do cheat a little bit and they all have the same sermon because it's three different churches. it's a different audience. so i can use the same sermon over and over again. now, reverend phillip may look after nine churches in suffolk but he won't be conducting services in all of them today. however, he will be holding five services throughout the day — three in the morning, one in the afternoon, and one in the evening. he can't do all nine. the others willjust have to wait their turn. why do you have to look after so many churches? because they are small populations. each individual parish would struggle to raise the money to pay for a priest of their own. so they grouped parishes together so that they could afford to pay the ministry. philip arrives at his first church at 8:15 — it's tight but he's made it.
1:50 pm
however, the congregation is small — just three. supervicars like philip are helping to keep churches alive, but the stark reality is congregations like this one are dwindling. therefore, less money is donated for the church's upkeep and ultimately some churches may have to close their doors for good. although the numbers here are small, the congregation still feel this church is the heart of their community. obviously you're a very small congregation here, but it's obviously very important for you to keep the church going. yes, very, very important to keep the church going it's been has such a long time. and what does it mean having reverend philip come in? he's a bit of a supervicar. he's flying to get to different churches. you know they have to spread themselves very thinly which is a bit sad because it means they can't really spend a lot of time in each parish.
1:51 pm
but philip really does his best. yes. time waits for no—one, even supervica i’s. it's one service down, four to go. how do you encourage people to come into church? this is something i think about quite a lot. because the churches are loved, and there are quite a few people in each of the churches who come in and will clean on a regular basis, they will do flowers on a regular basis. but they don't worship on a regular basis. has religion has taken a downturn yes. people often say that they are suspicious or they don't want to get involved in institutionalized religion. between 2011 and 2016 the church of england saw an 8% reduction in funerals.
1:52 pm
a 17% drop in weddings, and the number of baptisms fell by almost a fifth. some people may say that there's an argument for closing some of these churches that you cover, and get you to concentrate on the ones where you've got a larger congregation, and encourage people to go to one instead of keeping the other ones open. if we were a business that's what we would do. and if you talk to some people in the congregation they will say clearly we need to do this, but you will talk to other people in the congregation and they'll say no. we need to have a local church. phillip‘s made the three mile journey to brampton managed to beat some of the parishioners.
1:53 pm
thank you, tracy. # my saviour god to thee... it's sing, pray, repeat. now, we've spent one sunday morning with reverend phil and he's a very busy guy. but all the congregations are small which means less money is being donated to the churches and ultimately these buildings, these wonderful historical buildings, can fall into disrepair because donations are the main way in which churches are paid for. we've currently got 111 churches in our region on the historic england at risk register. one of those in suffolk is on phillip‘s rounds. he's meeting laura, who is an adviser from a government led pilot scheme called the taylor review.
1:54 pm
it aims to help churches which need a bit of tlc, by offering advice and sometimes small amounts of money for repairs. it can feel very overwhelming. looking after a historic building. because you're not trained in historic buildings, not trained as curator of objects of buildings. that's where hopefully we can offer help and advice to try and get you on the track that you need to be on. it's fortuitous that suffolk has been chosen as one of only two places in england where this scheme is being trialled. there's a lot of challenges with a building like this. you can see just looking round internally there's lots of issues with the plaster and the masonry. a lot of these issues are actually stemming from the outside, looking at getting a building watertight is a fundamental key to looking after the inside of the building. for suffolk, there's 50,000 available for minor repairs grants, ——250,000 and there are a few things that we could potentially help with. some people looking at this will say, come on. the church of england got plenty of money.
1:55 pm
why can't the church of england put some money into the buildings to save them? the church of england is asset rich, cash poor. we've got beautiful buildings like this which, in terms of an insurance value, are in the millions of pounds. if people want these buildings to be here, they've got to help to support them. good afternoon. a bit more cloud across the uk today but it is still staying mild, right the way through the weekend and probably beyond. but through this weekend we will find freshening wind. it will eventually blow rain into western parts of the uk tomorrow. you can see the thick cloud heading our way. it has not reached us just yet. that's where the front there has been very weak and responsible for these misty and
1:56 pm
gloomy skies in guildford, for example. north it is a different story. lovely in scarborough with sunshine and mild. the best of the sunshine and mild. the best of the sunshine is probably across northern england. highest temperatures there, 14-15. england. highest temperatures there, 14—15. also across southern england and east anglia. dry and bright across scotland and probably for northern ireland, though cloudy with wind picking up. but a mild day. as we head through this evening and overnight, southerly wind continuing to strengthen. cloud thickening in northern ireland and scotland to give outbreaks of rain. elsewhere, cloud pushing away into the north sea so cloud pushing away into the north sea so skies will clear. shouldn't get too cold, 4—5. tomorrow, the best of the weather in the morning across the eastern side of the uk. a sunny start across the south—east of england, into east anglia and the midlands, a ping to

the north—east of england. eastern scotla nd the north—east of england. eastern scotland as well but rain across western parts of scotland. drips and drops across northern ireland, too. a windy day for all of us. rain across western areas pushing eastwards. clouding overfrom the eastern side of the uk. then the sunshine comes out on the western side of scotland, england and wales. a blustery wind tomorrow. mild again. as we head into the beginning of next week, we start with a fair bit of cloud in the south—east. brighter elsewhere but a blustery wind will bring in an increasing number of showers for scotland, northern ireland and the north west of england. potentially hail and thunder. temperatures are still mild but not quite as mild as this weekend. we will keep those temperatures for tuesday and wednesday. breezy as well. cloud and
1:58 pm
rain mainly in the west and north of the uk. this is bbc news. the headlines at two o'clock: as her family ask the government to help bring shameema baygum home, the justice secretary says the main priority has to be the safety of the public. a 27—year—old man appears in court charged with the murders of three elderly men in exeter. thousands of criminals are to be monitored 2a hours a day using gps tracking technology. the funeral of footballer, emiliano sala, who was killed when his plane crashed into the channel, is taking place in argentina. and in half an hour here on bbc news, african diaspora diaries takes a look at what it's like being born to immigrant parents, in a country where there is growing support for anti—immigration parties.
