last week youtube revealed for the ist timejust last week youtube revealed for the ist time just how much cash it is making parent company google. that was $15,000,000,000 last year. it announced its results for the ist time, seeming like a right of passion. it has grown up and is standing on its own to feed. dashmac passage. i visited their london office to find out how it has come office to find out how it has come of age. kevin, youtube used to be the place where video went viral. but now it seems a lot of that happens on facebook or tiktok. how do you think things have changed? the internet is bigger. it is easier

to make a more beautiful video now thanit to make a more beautiful video now than it was ten years ago. when you look at now what the most popular videos on youtube are, they are not viral hit videos, but coming from channels producing lots of content regularly and that have large audiences. i think youtube has moved from this unintentional kind of quick video thing which we all associate with the early years of u—tube to this sort of new world in which you have creators who have businesses and build audiences. few could have predicted some of the most successful genres. —— youtube. tell me about asmr. it is short for autonomous meridian response. these are whispered videos where people whisper or do things quietly to make audiences react. what sort of things might they do? they might whisper or

cook or rub things on the microphone. it is a very unusual form of entertainment. but it is not designed necessarily to make you laugh or do the things that we think about for traditional entertainment. it is designed to help you relax or come down. another big trend is recipes. making something the old—fashioned way recipes. making something the old —fashioned way can recipes. making something the old—fashioned way can be time—consuming and fiddly. so some of the videos online, particularly many have gone viral, make it look very simple. but isn't always possible to do what you are watching? chris fox has been finding out. you have probably been seeing food hacks like these online before. top tricks for tasty treats. but are they too good to be to? —— true? millions of videos like this have turned up on youtube and facebook. but do the tips worker will they just waste your time and ingredients? here is a milk carton plan from the lifestyle channel

blossom. this video has had 17 million views. you put the ingredients in the carton, michael levitt, call it, and out pops a perfect carton plan. i followed this video step—by—step. i've used the exact same quantities. the first problem came when i tried to put this in the microwave because the milk carton was to tall, it wouldn't fit. that got me thinking, how do they fit their milk carton full of ingredients in the microwave? and it looks like they didn't. because if you rewatch the video you will see that they actually just cut the bottom of the milk carton. not to be deterred, i put the mixture into a gym shaker and followed the rest of the video, put it in the microwave to boilfor ten minutes. and did i get a plan at the end of it? no i did not. next up, gummy bear hacks, a recipe from so yummy. three point to million views. melting the gummy

bears in the video turns into jelly. here is me copy what i saw in the video. it turns out gummy bears are actually thick and loopy when they are melted, not runny like liquid jelly. will my spoon go into the jelly. will my spoon go into the jelly just as effortlessly as in the so yummy video? well, know it will not. as you might expect, this gummy mixture at the bottom of the glass is rocksolid. let's have one more. this is from five minute crafts. why not shove an ear of corn in the microwave to make some popcorn? i don't need to tell you that if you put an don't need to tell you that if you putan earof don't need to tell you that if you put an ear of fresh corn into the microwave it will not come out as popcorn but would just be hot corn. but i was going to be proved wrong. i tried it out in the name of science. when it comes out it is warmer than before. i am not the only one who has been intrigued by this. and riordan is a food

scientist and runs a regional on youtube. she has been investigating. —— are one. youtube. she has been investigating. -- are one. this is fake news, faked making. —— c. it is more clickable and clickbait is currently working on youtube and facebook. ann has been trying these recipes. there is one recipe where kickboxing is used to make ice cream. ann tried it and it didn't work. i also tried it and it didn't work. i also tried it and it didn't work. having a food size degree, i know what property things have and whether they will work. it is not visible to whip up ice cream, because even if you get the most luxurious ice cream you will get, it will not whip and make frosting. that is an example of the faked ones. but there are now some which are going to dangerous territory as well. there is one on five minute

crafts when they put a strawberry bleach to make it white. if a child did that, they would consume a lot of bleach. it is not good for them. there is another video where molten caramel is put over was to make a sort of nest. modern caramel is hot. it is hotter than melted water. they put plastic wrap in front of an animal to write to it. those melted caramel cake decorations i showed, thatis caramel cake decorations i showed, that is not the best way to make those either. it takes a long time to not one sweet and usually they just burn and stick to the pan. the professional and just as easy way, according to five minute —— ann is to use greaseproof paper and to put it in the oven for a few minutes. that is an easy way to make caramel ca ke that is an easy way to make caramel cake decorations that you can try at home. that was chris. and chris is here now. you did not bring me lunch, though, did you?” here now. you did not bring me lunch, though, did you? i should have said you some of the eggs plan! it didn't look appetising. what are

the company say? five minute crafts did not reply to my email. and first media who run blossom and so yummy invited me to their studio to see, and they invited me to come and see how they do it, but not to film. we tried it and they didn't work. and the food scientist, ann, she said some of those recipes would not work evenif some of those recipes would not work even if you follow the instructions and use the most luxuries ingredients. so why are people so busy sharing these videos? they are very visual. they are nicely produced. companies would say that the purpose of this is entertainment, to give you cooking ideas and inspiration. crucially most of the people who watch these videos will not try these recipes, they just like the videos will not try these recipes, theyjust like the visuals. clearly. and this is what happened when i asked kevin at youtube about this. you seem to love these videos and share them a lot, but they are

clearly not trying to make the food. for a lot of life hacks or kitchen hack videos, it is not about trying to ta ke hack videos, it is not about trying to take the fact or hack and use it in your life, it is just satisfying to see a plan in front of you. it is another form of entertainment. it's true that thing of past?” another form of entertainment. it's true that thing of past? i think truth is not a thing of the past, but i think that there is some contexts in which pure accuracy, perhaps, is not always paramount. keeping up with the pace of technological change can be difficult at the best of times. particularly for parents, who want to be able to keep track of what their children are doing, how much screen time they're having where all the content is appropriate. and never has this been more true than when it comes to video games. so mark cieslak has been looking at this problem with a well—known face from football. but there are three

and ex managers united and england footballer rio ferdinand is fronting a campaign to encourage parents to learn about the parental controls they can use in their children's videogames. i was someone who is been fairly involved in gaming throughout my adult life. and my children play. we feel we have a good balance in our house. you do your chores and school work, you have a balance between the gaming and being outside. but having an understanding of what your children actually doing is so invaluable to me, to understand what i can actually do in terms of actually controlling what type of games they are on. do you think parents need to ta ke are on. do you think parents need to take more responsibility as far as videogames and the children are concerned? you need to take an interest. like you take an interest in your child's school life, take an interest in a gay lie. it is an integral part of their life nowadays whether you like it or not. the get smart about play campaign provides

guides about controls on consoles and computers. it can help limit children spending rearward money on items. we know that more than half the parents in the uk in particular have concerns about the amount of time their children and people in their care are spending playing games and on screens in general. this is part of an overall society digital literacy agenda. other setting boundaries, how to protect yourself, how to protect your privacy, it is part of a wider thing in society that i think we need to pay attention to. research suggests that up to 99% of children in the uk between eight and 18 play videogames regularly. compare that to research conducted by the nspcc which shows only 19% of parents between the age —— with children between the age of five and 15 years parental controls which connect to the internet. at some parents think that the games industry should bear a greater response ability. —— controls on as

was connected internet. are they passing the buck? they have a purpose and responsibility to protect the well—being of our children. that is part of their role asi children. that is part of their role as i said. every company that is producing content for our children has to take that responsibility. features in games like boxes with items that can be bought with real—world cash are under scrutiny in the industry. so does it need to clea n in the industry. so does it need to clean up its act? we are businesses, at the end of the day. these controls are important, because you can turn of a games ending. it is a shared responsibility. while learning about parental controls im proves learning about parental controls improves digital literacy, perhaps pa rents improves digital literacy, perhaps parents who play gives the children could enjoy the experience as well. hello and welcome to the week in

tech. it was a week that google started its appeal against a to billion pounds fine but european commission. is accused of favouring its service of others. —— two. the mobile washer conference has been cancelled over coronavirus concerns. high—profile companies, including nokia, lg, and vodafone are out of the event. in speaking of the coronavirus, in times where new york a robot has been providing information to curious passers—by about the virus. us and german intelligence services were outed for spying on governments through the control of a swiss encryption firm. from the cold war era up to the to thousands, crypto ag provided including devices. the first human clinical controls of a blood during

robot has started this week. researchers at rutgers university found that it performed as well or better than human clinicians. and, finally, some people are heavy—handed. i know! finally, some people are heavy—handed. i know i am. but now there was a robotic hand they can do there was a robotic hand they can do the heavy lifting as well as have a delicate touch. it is capable of handling various objects and tools like an egg and playing the piano. it is expected these hands will be used in industrial sites as well as everyday life. this week saw samsung's unpacked event. yes, it's a phone launch time again. here i have the samsung galaxy z flip. now, where whether you find this appealing or not, i have to say on click ‘s been to a fair few phone launches and it's quite refreshing to find one that doesn'tjust look like a rectangle. this is samsung's second foldable

phone and is a more compact offering than the first, even though its ultra—thin foldable glass opens up toa 6.7 ultra—thin foldable glass opens up to a 6.7 inch screen. and on the front here you have a display where it can give you all your notifications, when you get phone calls or texts, they'll pop up there and there's a camera so you can take selfies without even opening the device. but once you do open it, well, some apps are optimised to be able to provide you with a viewing zone and an interaction zone. it wasn't long ago that the motorola razor was announced and one of the criticisms that that's received is that the line in the middle where the phone actually folds is a bit too prominent. now, how much that crease would bother me if that was my regular phone, i don't know. i can't see a line there but it is a folding phone, so i don't really know what you'd expect. 0h, know what you'd expect. oh, and it would set you back £1300, by the way!

here i have the samsung galaxy sa 20 ultra. now, samsung say the main reason people upgrade their phones is to get a better camera and that's definitely the focus here. in fact, it has up to 100 times zoom. if you ta ke it has up to 100 times zoom. if you take a look behind me, there are two small figurines. i'm going to try taking a photograph using this device, zooming in and seeing how clear it's going to be. the camera has ten times optical zoom the camera has ten times optical zoom and beyond that moved into digital zoom. now, once zoom and beyond that moved into digitalzoom. now, once you're zoom and beyond that moved into digital zoom. now, once you're in the realms of using the 100 times, the realms of using the 100 times, the camera engages ai the realms of using the 100 times, the camera engages al to clean up the camera engages al to clean up the image as well. ok, it's definitely zoomed in but the image is very shaky so i think you'd really struggle to do this holding onto the phone is on a tripod it still looks like this, but you can see more, you can get a clear image of what you're looking at but the question is how much use is that photo? you certainly wouldn't want something that looked like that on your mantelpiece, would you? this

shot has been taken using the 48 megapixel camera and the ai shot has been taken using the 48 megapixel camera and the a! has helped make a clear shot. let's compare that to this image taken using the 108 megapixel camera and then after the photo was taken the picture was zoomed in on. that one is sort of clear in a way. this one looks more like a work of art. over the past few years, rwanda's become a hub for technology in sub—saharan africa. jane croad stake has been to look at a unique project hoping to bring electricity to the whole country and possibly avert disaster. kaje kevius in rwanda is one of east africa's great lakes. the beautiful landscape is attracting tourists for kayaking and fishing with hopes of generating a lot of revenue for the country, but something even more valuable is hidden deep within this lake. we are

going offshore to a project where they extract methane gas and below they extract methane gas and below the lake. the only project like it in the world. this barge took seven yea rs in the world. this barge took seven years to in the world. this barge took seven yea rs to construct in the world. this barge took seven years to construct and lies on the lake's border with the democratic republic of the congo. the engineers here work 2a hours a day in 12 hour shifts, monitoring the conditions of the lake. kevu is highly saturated with gases, including methane and carbon dioxide from millions of yea rs of carbon dioxide from millions of years of decomposition and volcanic activity. these gases are kept under pressure at significant depths. the la ke pressure at significant depths. the lake is 480 metres deep, however, any disturbance to the lake from seismic activity or alaba flow could result in the gases leaking out. is one of only three known lakes in the world where the specific conditions for this catastrophic event could occur. they are known as the killer

la kes. occur. they are known as the killer lakes. in 1986, a similar lake in cameroon suffered a carbon dioxide leak. the resulting gas cloud killed over 1700 people in nearby villages and all other living creatures in its path. in the gases —— if the gases lake kevu escaped it could be more deadly, it is 1700 times bigger than the one in cameroon and millions live around it. in lake kevu there is a lot more concentration which is far more than in the one in cameroon, so this is why it's very important to embark on such a project to reduce the content of the gas on the lakebed. there are 300 billion cubic metres of carbon dioxide and 60 billion cubic metres of methane in the late. safely extracting the methane will help generate electricity for rwanda, something it desperately needs —— the lake. this project is

contributing about 20% to the need of the country. 30%, that's of the country. 3096, that's impressive. that 30% wasn't there before? which was not there before, exactly. large pipes below the barge bring in the gas saturated water. this water is forced into a separator and at a certain depth of the gas starts to separate from the water. the phenomena there is one we would liken to the opening of a bottle of champagne. when you are allowing the water to be siphoned upwards, then it also boosted by the late pressure and it is pushing the water upwards. water with a mixture of carbon dioxide, methane and hydrogen sulphide is sent to the barge's hydrogen sulphide is sent to the ba rge's watchtowers hydrogen sulphide is sent to the barge's watchtowers and clean. the carbon dioxide and hydrogen sulphide are removed and the degas walker is returned to the lake and methane is delivered by a suspended pipeline to

the shore based... this is the definition of innovation. building the project right from the design stage up until construction and now into operation. currently 51% of london's have access to electricity. by 2020 for the government hopes that will rise to 100%. the project plans to deploy three additional barges here to help the country reach this ambitious target. now, over the past few weeks, we've been showing you some of the films nominated in the oscars are best visual effects category, but we have saved the best for last, and this week we have sam then des' ethic first world ward drama 1917 in store for you —— first world ward drama 1917 in store foryou —— sam first world ward drama 1917 in store for you —— sam mendez‘. this is the one that took the oscar and if you haven‘t seen it yet, what pretty remarkable is the way the film is supposed to look like one continuous

shot. your orders are to deliver a message calling off tomorrow morning‘s attack. if you fail, it will be a massacre. what sam has always wanted to do is have the idea that the audience be m, have the idea that the audience be in, sort of, a part of the story instead of being in a window to the world of something, it gives the idea that the audience is travelling and going along with the story as an extra character. that in itself brings in some really difficult challenges. 91% of that film has a visual effect in it, from digital doubles, environment extensions, atmospherics. we put in houses or trees or bushes or canals, and it works at this angle and the camera carries on and we looking at the reverse angle and aesthetically it doesn't work so we had a lot of logistical issues to work out. what

we talked about really was feeling. it's a strange word to use because obviously with visual effects... to quantify it, we're breaking down into shots and this gets digitally stitched together but actually it's more about a feeling of a sequence or more about a feeling of a sequence ora more about a feeling of a sequence or a beat. go, go, more about a feeling of a sequence ora beat. go, go, go! it's a really interesting sequence, no man's land, because it sets the tone for the journey. this was all shot in england. one of our primary ideas or principles was to make sure that it looked like the north of france. npc created cg horses, we did environment extensions, fake barbed wire, added a huge amount of craters. sam had this vision for his... the end seen. three, two, one, go, go! our work is really to tidy up and emphasise what had already gone on because a lot of it was all in canberra once again, we

we re was all in canberra once again, we were only adding a little bit to the story but we weren't dramatically changing anything apart from adding a few more dangerous explosions closer to our heroes and obviously the 500 extras in the shot at that point. we were really adding a little bit more danger and making sure that from a cinematic point of view, it was visually a beautiful scene. there‘s only one way this ends. well, that‘s it for this week‘s show. you can keep track of the team throughout the week on instagram, facebook youtube and twitter @bbcclick. thanks for watching.

hello. storm dennis is fast sending its wind and rain towards us. it‘s going to be a weekend of rain, messy at times and dangerous weather. dennis a very deep area of low pressure. the winds are going to be strong and disruptive at times but also several spells of heavy rain coming through, particularly affecting parts of england an wales. not clearing in the south—east until late on sunday. even behind the rain, heavy blustery showers in the north—west with squally winds. the met office has a few amber warnings in force where going to flooding, particularly in parts of southern, western and northern england, wales and rain and snow melt in southern scotland could bring flooding. head online to find all the details and what they mean for your area. saturday starts actually with dry weather around and outbreaks of rain for the south. it will turn wetter,
