over the next few decades, the stress on that most essential of resources, water, is likely to become one of the biggest issues that many people around the world will face. already, 2 billion don't have access to clean drinking water. and for half of them, it would take at least 30 minutes to reach any. so nick kwek has been finding out how that safe water could be created out of thin air, literally. access to clean water is a human right, yet over half a billion

people die each year from drinking contaminated water. according to the world health organization, in only five years‘ time, half of us will live in a water—stressed area. thirsty for answers? i've come to south yorkshire to see a start—up with a novel solution. hogen systems is harvesting waterfrom thin air. water is extracted from the bottom of the evaporator, collected in the tray and pumped out for use for drinking. that's water in the tray there? that's water in the tray there, yes. that's come from thin air? that's come from thin air. ok, it's a giant dehumidifier, but the game changer here is the artificially intelligent device's adaptability. sensors all over the process that will detect, what is the real temperature, what is the real pressure, the real humidity, the control system will further refine its control to make that the best way to operate. keeping costs down is crucial, so using the least amount of energy possible is key. so the way this works is, air comes down through here,

gets sucked in through the evaporator which pulls moisture out of the air. the water then drips down into this water tray and the byproduct, which is cold air, gets sucked through there which could be used for air—conditioning in the summer. and another byproduct is heat generated through the condenser, which could be used to heat homes in the winter or wherever it may be used. brill, shall we give it a taste? well, why not? there we are, water from thin air. it does have essence of machine about it. it may do. it does have a somewhat metallic... i mean, if i were to lick that machine, i kind of feel like that's what that tastes like. yum, yum. but i'm assured after a few gallons circulate in the machine, it tastes much better and makes a banging brew. as well as large—scale units, hogen has also developed a more mobile version targeted for the military. so the more compact version has actually got two systems built

in for redundancy, so if one goes there is a backup option. we know of some customers in the middle east who are shipping drinking water by helicopter. the cost of shipping drinking water by helicopter is $35 per litre. but derek's units of course come with a pricetag. $5,000 up to $100,000, depending on the size and type of machine. they can usually recoup it within two years. for over 30 years, london fashion week has brought the latest trends and streetwear and couture to the capital. whether spring or fall collections, it follows the same format. catwalk shows from designers popping up all over the city. but in the near future, the catwalk could look completely different. the idea of gathering together to look at seasonal trends could be obsolete. like many other industries, artificial intelligence is shaping

the future of fashion. the designs, models and even the location of fashion week could one day be created by a computer programme. it is possible to generate these kind of captions with al algorithm. a new course at the london college of fashion is looking in detail at these issues, preparing future designers and merchandisers with the tools to work on this new world, influencing everything from pattern cutting to design. so if you know this type of algorithm, you canjust mine all over your database. these images were dreamt up by an algorithm fed by tens of thousands of photos. so this is a computer that is designing these dresses? yeah, so this is a generative adversarial network that has been fed many thousands of images so it begins to learn what a dress looks like. it's incredible.

and then design its own. so every single one of these is computer—generated. slightly terrifying. and similarly, this is taking thousands of catwalk images from men's fashion week and beginning to understand what catwalk looks like, what a model looks like, what the clothes they are wearing looks like, and generating its own catwalk images. are these real models? these are computer—generated. oh, wow. so this person doesn't exist? no. it begins to question what we even think a catwalk show could be. could we get to the point in the future where a computer—generated catwalk becomes as popular or as interesting as a physical catwalk? what do you think? it's not beyond the realms of impossibility. indeed, the ideas and projects the students are working on may have once have seemed

impossible, but they are certain the whole industry will soon change and having a background in al will be essential to their success. in all the industries right now, it's really important to be able to cross—collaborate, to be interdisciplinary and so i think this is really important to have a knowledge of everything that is coming up and how we can use that in fashion. so with al, we will have much more ways and options. like, instead of, i don't know, sketching 10 ideas, we could have thousands of them, you canjust select quickly what we find beneficial for our project. but others worry about losing originality in this process. i think there's a danger of it stripping out creativity, because there's always that argument that designers create something from their brain, there's newness that's not been done before but ai looks at everything that's been done before and creates something new so i think there's this, like, paradox. does it mean that we will end up

repeating the same things over and over, or does it mean we will be given new ways to create? in fact, the ai may end up being more creative than humans because it can process so many more images than we are capable of seeing. the course is also preparing students for job losses in their industry to artificial intelligence, especially in areas like pattern cutting and other repetitive work. this really is something we can't deny. it is coming and we need to be prepared for it. maybe these people can be educated in some sort of position where they will be using this al to do this job, but if it is something repetitive, if it can be automatised, it will be automised. the next experiment will be feeding this algorithm photos from architecture as well as the clothing, to see what fashion designs it comes up with. an exciting time for those able to adapt, but with implications for workers around the world, perhaps a need to think quickly about the direction of this

important industry. people love playing video games, but making them is a different matter. the art of creation used to require quite a few skills, not least the ability to code. but over the past few years, content creation tools have become a lot easier for those who are creatively minded to be able to make their own games. guildford—based developer media molecule enjoyed huge success with its user—generated little big planet games. the titles allowed the player to create their own mini games and levels. it's an idea we have seen revisited most recently with nintendo with mario maker 2. for the past few years, media molecule has been working on something which it hopes could take that user—generated effort up a level. marc cieslak‘s been

finding out more. you can make a lot of different stuff in dreams. stuff like this, and this. and even this. all that stuff was made using the same software. it's an ambitious idea, give everybody the tools to make a videogame or a film or even a 3d sculpture, all made using a games console. dreams is a playstation game which allows anyone to create, whether it's a game or a movie. i think of it as the world's interactive sketchbook. folks at home have been able to tinker with a version of dreams for quite some time, so the online catalogue of content created using the kit is already packed with stuff made by the public. jamie breeze was one of those early access content creators. his work impressed the team at media molecule so much,

they gave him a job. i pinch myself almost daily, it's the most incredible thing ever. because i used to teach, which is a lot of hard work. and then coming into here, it feels like i can do my hobby for a living now. it is the best thing ever, i love it so much. but dreams‘ main event is making stuff, and could these tools ultimately end up being a source of inspiration for a new generation of games designers, filmmakers and artists? have you thought about collaborating with educational establishments? with schools, universities, game design courses? yeah, education and outreach to different groups is huge because i think dreams is a tool for educating people about storytelling, game making, programming. it's brilliant, i have a little story. i saw a kid at a show playing dreams and his mother said to me, "i don't really understand what he is doing," and i said, well, he's basically doing a—level electronics, then and there on the screen. he was a young kid and i said, seriously, don't worry about it. this is a great mechanism.

if he can do that in dreams now, he will sail through whatever he wants to do later. but i was saying that to her and at the same time, a penny dropped in my head, that yeah, this is teaching stuff, kids don't even know they are learning, they are just enjoying it and that is wonderful. well, that's it for the short version of the show. as ever the full—length version can be found on bbc iplayer. throughout the week you can keep track of what the team are up to on youtube, instagram, facebook, and twitter at @bbcclick. thanks for watching. hello. notjust rain, but some snow for some of us to start monday morning. the gap between weather systems is all too brief.

yes, we've been seeing a bit of sunday sunshine in places today, but that next weather system is on the way. this area of low pressure. it will make for more wet weather, wherever you are in the uk. as it runs into colder air, there will be some snow around. northern england, northern ireland and scotland in particular. here's the story of the weather through this evening and tonight. rain moving north into the colder air. northern ireland, northern england, southern scotland, the central belt. snow to quite low levels in places in t and wales he colder air. more significant snow across the higher ground and certainly in scotland as it moves further north. this makes for a really difficult morning commute. it will be messy. even where you see the weather clearing away, snow falling into the higher ground, it may drift the strong wind. the higher areas are going to be worst affected and certainly in scotland as the snow feeds ever further north.

rewind the clock, see what else happens, to start the day, a band of rain pushing through england and wales. clearing to brighter skies. clearing the fourth south—east well on into the afternoon. a few showers following on behind. gusty wind. it will be a blustery day. a range of temperatures from north to south. it will be colder where you have some of the snow falling. even into the evening rush—hour in scotland. monday night, eventually, snow clearing from scotland. it will be icy in places to start tuesday but tuesday and wednesday, a flow of cold air coming from the north—west. some sunshine, yes, but also showers, rain, sleet, snow, some hale and rumbles of thunder. but there will also be some dryer moments. looking at the extended forecast into the week, colder showery spells midweek and towards the end of the week, low pressure is coming back bringing the prospect of longer spells of wet

weather yet again. some rain at times, especially early and late in the week and then we'll see some showers and turning colder, often blustery. notjust rain. as we've established, there will be some snow for some of us, too.

this is bbc news. i'm lukwesa burak. the headlines at eight. four of the cruise ship passengers taken to the wirral test positive for coronavirus, and are transferred to specialist infection centres. the virus has spread to 21 countries. six people have now died in south korea, and a third death has been confirmed in italy. politicians in south wales write to the chancellor to demand more help for those affected by the country's recent floods. in las vegas, tyson fury produces the best performance of his boxing career to become the new wbc heavyweight world champion. when i came here, they said i can't punch. deontay wilder himself said that i've got two pillow fists. but you know, not bad for an old fat

guy who can't punch, eh?
