that it is midfield. the problem is that it is a big paul pogba shaped problem in the centre. if you get the best out of him and can do that every week, then you don't have a problem, but it isa then you don't have a problem, but it is a big if. it is a kick-off at eight o'clock here. mikel arteta took on manchester united five times as an arsenal player and he never against them. a goal in one of the 5:30pm kick—offs with gabrieljesus giving manchester city the lead against everton. that's it. next on bbc news it's time for click. are you well? that was great. trying to give spencer direction. we just did a stagger through which is about three hours behind schedule. hopefully it's all going to work out in the end when we go live at five o'clock. no pressure. fingers crossed it's all going to happen.

i'm just changing bits, i hope he doesn't mind. like that? yeah. i just want these to be in. it was quite nerve racking at this point but i'm excited. there's a bit of a buzz, isn't there? been looking forward to it for weeks. why are you guys here tonight? ijust want to learn, really, and see all the new stuff going on. are you sure we shouldn't be there already? trust me, we're going to get there on time. but dundee's 500 miles away. the train's going to take hours, even a flight‘s going to take too long.

there is no way... seriously, i had a word with a guy, he knows a guy and he said there's a shortcut. all we need to do is use this. you need to get out more. we just need to press start. goodness, spencer, are you 0k? yeah, just, just, just go with it. go with what? what the—? right, follow me. ok, this is weird. come on. are you sure this is the most direct route? pretty sure, yeah. can we at least stop and ask for directions? no need, i've got a map, it'll be fine. over here. ah, um, oh. oh, you had it upside down, didn't you? little bit, yeah. ok, this is more like it.

dundee, we should only be a couple of blocks away now. blocks. nice, i see what you did there. yep, there it is. v&a dundee. here we come! announcer: from v&a dundee, this bbc click live. please welcome your hosts, lara lewington and spencer kelly. yes, it's that time of year again where we leave the comfort of the click offices and go live to the world, or at least to a crowd of very eager tech fans. v&a dundee was the spectacular location for a show that took in everything from artificial intelligence to facial recognition. the museum not only celebrates the past but also looks

to the future. most people's idea of robots are shaped by the robots they see in science fiction so in a film or tv or video games or music. but robots are a bit more real than what we think. so most children now will grow up with siri or alexa or some kind of smart helper in their life and i think in the future that's just going to increase. we're going to have more robotic helpers helping our children and helping us and increasingly more and more in an everyday basis. currently on display is the exhibition design between human and machine. so rather than robots coming in and replacing us and replacing our jobs, i think the future is a bit more of an optimistic one. we've got an amazing structure commission that's being specially built here for us at v&a dundee and this is all about the idea of humans and robots collaborating together to create something amazing and wonderful and i think that's a bit more what the future will be like, so, slightly less pessimistic than what we imagine.

in recent years, dundee has become something of a digital powerhouse. it's synonymous with video games like lemmings, grand theft auto and yes, minecraft. dundee has the honour, we believe, of being the city in the world with the highest per capita volume of games developers. that's come around for a number of reasons. it started off back in the 1980s, there was a lot of us programming away on sinclair spectrums that happened to be made in the city, so you could always pick one up ex—factory when they went slightly wrong for less than they cost in the shops. some amazing video games came out of the city at that point and that gave a lot of us the inspiration to set our own companies up. the world's first video games degree was offered here by abertay university

all the way back in 1997, so we thought we'd check out some of their more recent work. all in the name of social interaction, of course. why is abertay university so hot on gaming? at abertay, all the staff have either previously made video games or we currently make video games and we are all part of a research lab called abertay game lab that make really fun, experimental games that push the boundaries of computer gaming in different ways. so you've got some other students playing some other of your games over there. that game was created by dr mona bozdog, who's sloped on with lara. now, mona, there are a lot of different games here, all telling interesting, different stories. can you tell me a bit about what you've created here. yes, so, the game you see is called assembly. we're all in dundee and the year is 1981 and there's thousands of women in the timex factory assembling the first ever computers, so the zx81 and the zx spectrum. these computers changed the face of games. that's basically a recreation of the assembly line. so we have the women workers trying to assemble the zx spectrum

computers from populating the boards to actually packaging and shipping the zx spectrums. this is a actually a bit of social history here as well, isn't it? yes, it is. it is what we usually call herstories. because they're the alternative histories, they're the hidden figures of the video games industry and the video games history, and it was the women who assembled, they were tremendously skilled and they basically brought us the first computers. speaking. at. professor annalu waller has dedicated 30 years of her life to researching technologies that improve

communication for those who have difficulty speaking. it's very much like the predictive text on your phone, but as we saw when we invited her onto the stage... words... it can be a very slow process. limit... telling a story in real time is laborious, time—consuming. a lot of our focus on communicating aids is on typing eight to ten words a minute. how on earth do you conduct a real conversation at that speed? annalu's team, in partnership with cambridge university, has created a new system that remembers what you've typed before and offers up whole sentence chunks in one go.

it's hard to find whole sentences to use as i speak. as humans, we always retell stories. so what i'm telling you now, i've told many people before. and this is where it gets even more clever. a body worn camera observes where annalu is and who she is speaking to. it can then suggest sentences that are relevant to that situation. so, this is the computer vision brain behind the system. the camera i have in my right hand here is the one the person wears around their neck, so the camera can see what they can see. they can see the person they are speaking to. at the moment it sees me and you can see on the screen, it picks out my face, to identify whether i'm a known person, whether i am a friend, and if it knows me, who i am. it takes a guess from

the whole environment it can see to say where are we. are we in a cafe, at work? and this information, we then use to predict the right sentences i might want to say in this environment with this communication partner. the more annalu uses it, the more it learns and the faster the system becomes. the system might think we are in a museum, i'm talking to a person i've ever met before. person i've never met before. that might be an opportunity to talk about my work. it will bring up sentences i have used before to talk about my work so i can access them again. stories are important because they provide the fundamental essence of being human. we are our stories. we are all very boring people. i know people that repeat themselves over and over again.

we all do. i mean, i know people that repeat themselves over and over... laughter. we all do. applause. three, two, one, push. a click live show wouldn't be a click live show without waving, shouting and generally getting a bit overexcited. all that remains is to thank everyone who turned up to see us live, and of course, you at home for watching. from all of us here at click, we hope you have a very happy new year. go, go, go, yes.

hello once again. a day of contrasting fortunes across the british isles to start the new year. for some, a lot of cloud around, sitting quite low in the atmosphere to say the least. and yet elsewhere there have been really decent breaks in the cloud, particularly across the north of wales, the north of england, eastern side of scotland as well. but overall it's been a fairly quiet start to the new year. for that we have to thank the big area of high pressure still dominating the scene not 1 million miles away on the near continent, but not again 1 million miles away up towards the far north—west of scotland, we've got a weather front, that will loom large as we get into thursday. with all the cloud overnight and the southerly flow and quite a bit of it as well, there will not be an overly cold night. at this stage we are still swathed in relatively mild air, but notice this creeping ever closer to north—west quarter of scotland, cooler and fresher conditions behind

these weather fronts, which will be a real player in the weather across scotland, northern ireland, as you see the first part of thursday. not one, but to weather fronts gradually seep their way ever further towards the north and west parts of the british isles. it will be a pretty gusty day across all parts of the british isles. winds at their strongest perhaps in the western isles of scotland. given the direction and all the cloud, it will not be a cold day. a slightly milder day, i would have thought, then was the case in the first part of the week. thursday night and into the first part of friday, we complete the transition of introducing those cooler airs. it's not a raging northerly by any means for friday. brighter, yes. that's the thing you will notice across many parts of the british isles. a raft of showers getting into the far north of scotland and some of them wintry across the highest ground. but those temperatures really not plummeting away. yes, single figures for many, and just holding on for a time tu double figures in the south.

starting the weekend with a ridge of high pressure that comes in to kill off some of that shower activity across northern scotland. for many, it's a reasonable weekend in prospect. a lot of dry and fine weather across the greater part of england and wales with more cloud for scotland, northern ireland and a wee bit of rain in the far north—west. again, temperatures a degree or two either side of 10 degrees or so. and into sunday, a mild day throughout, but i think it still stays pretty breezy.

this is bbc news. the headlines at 7:00: bushfires have killed at least eight people in south—eastern australia since monday and destroyed more than 200 homes. we have a very real challenge at the moment with a couple of isolated communities, where we've got reports of injuries and burn injuries to members of the public. we haven't been able to get access via roads or via aircraft. the mother of the british teenager found guilty of lying about being raped in cyprus backs calls for tourists to boycott the country. two men and a woman — who all worked for british airways — are killed after a lorry collides with a car in stanwell in surrey on new year's eve. in their new year messages, the prime minister says brexit will mark a ‘new chapter‘ for the uk, while the archbishop
