this is bbc world news, the headlines: with increasingly good weather expected both here in the uk and europe — people are urged to stick to the strict lockdown restrictions to help tackle the coronavirus — with authorities saying they will crack down if necessary. spain has recorded its lowest number of coronavirus deaths in a week, suggesting the outbreak there is stabilising. a total of 809 people died from the virus in the past 2a hours — down from 932. china has come to a standstill for three minutes to remember the victims on a national day of mourning. the outbreak began in hubei province in december. the country has recorded more than 3000 covid—19 related deaths. the us government is now urging all americans to wear face coverings to help stop the spread of the disease, but donald trump says he won't follow the advice. announcing the new guidelines, mr trump repeatedly stressed that they were voluntary.

now it's time for click. this week — dial—up internet, apple releases the ipod, very tight suits and furry friends. it is click‘s 20th anniversary and these are our greatest hits. welcome to click, i'm spencer kelly. 0n the sixth of april 2000, a plucky new tv programme hit the air, promising to talk about something that many people, many in the media thought was too scary, too nerdy — technology.

no—one thought that programme would last more than a couple of years and yet 20 years later, click is still on air. just. because it's impossible to believe that we're celebrating our 20th birthday in a world that seems eerily similar to those dystopian sci—fi films that we geeks grew up on. like many programmes, we're going to find it hard to stay on air during the lockdown. but, for old times‘ sake, because it's our birthday, we going to forget about it all and take one last look at click through the ages. get ready for 20 years in 20 minutes. click 0nline. it is the age—old story, bbc launches new .com programme, .com bubble immediately bursts. was it ourfault? probably. yet stephen and his team were ready to take apart any tech they could get their hands on.

episode one featured two polar opposite hairstyles explaining how to copy photos off those newfangled digital cameras and a review of the upcoming playstation 2, conducted on the boot of a car. the new millennium was often running with the latest pocket pcs, the very hottest fashion and a man trapped in a pda. home computers were helping to make music, which could be listened to on whatever that is. and stored on sd cards with a massive 64 megabytes — yes! and that's not all. slot the card in, stick in headphones on and you're away, free to jog, do whatever you want. home internet was about to get a lot faster too as one of the backstreet boys showed you how to switch your computer from dial—up to superfast broadband. by 2001, south korea was already going nuts for online games and injapan, shy boys were honing their chat—up lines by texting computerised girls.

richard was exploring cheap picture in picture effects while trying to buy a house online. £140,000? not a chance these days. and for a short time, this was the future. we'd all be living in a 36 world stressed in flashy clothes we'd all be living in a 3d world stressed in flashy clothes or penguin outfits. then, along came apple to really rock the world. the ipod was born and the decade was defined. it's 2002 and we're really hitting our stride now — as are the robots. but in the days when 36 was still in its infancy, there was a cunning way some of you are getting online, by finding an unsecured wi—fi network using a metal snack tube and then war chalking it on the pavement for everyone else to find. cunning. richard went undercover in hong kong to infiltrate the world of software and dvd piracy. and in fact, the whole spy thing looked like such fun that everyone

played dress—up and tried to do mission impossible on a budget of 10p. and as we tried to explain what you could do with the world's most powerful supercomputer, we enlisted the help of a young, rising star who was about to go universal. the idea is to look at a model of the global climate, the earth. at the moment, models away the atmosphere works and the oceans. they are based on dividing the earth into grids and then you can focus in on very small phenomena. like your beautiful hair, brian. 2003 rolls around and before anyone was talking around the cloud, this chap turns up wearing it. i'm not sure what happened to him, but the shirt lives on. burned into the back of people's retinas to this day. david reid opted to get measured for a more sober costume, and showed us what he wore on the weekend. and in your spare time, this was the amazing content that we were recommending online.

you can even get interactive and play the panpipes using your mouse. thank you sam, thank you partners. the budget wouldn't stretch to a horse. kate strolled into town for the first time and rob was creating his own ringtones and chris and simon demonstrated the very latest, portable photo scanner. in 2004, we bought ourselves a dan. here he is out looking for toilet roll and the only thing left in the tinned goods aisle was google soup. i tell you what we won't short of though, nokias. when one in three of us around the world owned a nokia who were surely going to be around forever. talking of things vanishing without a trace, here is richard injapan sporting pretty much the opposite of a high—vis jacket. and here is something else none of us should have had to see. the proposal was another piece of technological creativity. i designed a flowery montage and beamed it to my pda

when she least expected it. ian hardy's wedding report not at all toe—curling. but at least we didn't have to see him in the bath, oh, there he is! and here he is again, this time appearing as a mekong on the world's largest display in las vegas in 2005. it's the year we saw hints of tv on mobile and tv in animals. in india, we saw rural villages starts to get access to the internet, health information, and education. by the way, this is the best mobile phone there has ever been. 0k... but we also saw the dangers of sending out unwanted tech to poorer countries without thinking of the consequences. in the cities, india's poor scrape a living by breaking down pcs and monitors. but what they don't realise

is that the toxic chemicals inside, like cadmium and lead, can pose serious health risks. and as always, japan was a joyous glimpse of what happens when you embrace technology without fear. an attitude i think we could all deal with every now and again. watch out, here comes 2006 with a new look, a new host, and some stunningly expensive special effects. we took a rare peak into the new technology superpower that was, and is, china. before the kindle, we are already looking at the e—paper technology that would power it and as phone companies struggled desperately to become smart, we tried out some of the new designs, including a touchscreen device that was not a million miles away from apple's forthcoming world—changer. 2007 — africa, and we were testing cameras in the wild. fortunately, we weren't eaten by anything anonymous unless you count a giant pacman. i'll see you in london.

it's that way, i think. in namibia, we tracked miles in crazy solar hats to try out our satellite broadband in the desert. either it is going to blow up or a have a lock. this year's hot topic was piracy websites and in particular, the protests outside the swedish parliament that wallowed the pirate bay being shut down. chris used the age—old coffee jar analogy to see which disc format was going to win. hd dvd, or blu—ray? the answer, streaming. we saw misbehaving furniture in san francisco and then dan came across a small company that have something electrifying in its garage. it took another five years for tesla to start delivering its saloon car but this one it really did set the balls in motion. talking of balls, here is the beginning of live on—set motion capture demonstrated by some idiot in a very tight suit. and then of course there was that

new phone from that company. and that was when everything changed. in 2008, the rest of the mobile phone companies tried to play catch—up. touchscreens were everywhere, the mobile web was getting there but surely the iphone couldn't slay all of the established phone makers? and nokia, which sells more phones in one week than apple does in a year, will have its own touchscreen rival by december. hmm... but as we started to spend more time online, our digitalfootprints were leaving behind significant clues about us. and we decided to show how your personal data could be scraped and used by anyone who knew how to write a facebook app. we wrote an evil application which secretly collected the personal details of you and your friends and sent them to us. fortunately, facebook closed that hole and no—one has ever used our personal data against us since...

hey there, and welcome to the week in tech. it was the week that the uk's main internet providers agreed to remove data fixed line broadband during the current ice pandemic. during the coronavirus pandemic. a zoom customer is suing the video call company, claiming that a sharing of data to facebook is a violation of user privacy. we got in touch with zoom who said the facebook software development kit has since been removed from the app. and the owner of the video chat app house party has offered $1 million to anyone who can show evidence of who was the victim of a commercial smear campaign. as well as claims that downloading apps linked to other services such as netflix and spotify being hacked. it was also the week that robot cars started patrolling the streets of tunisia in an effort to enforce the country's lockdown, remote—controlled vehicles now approached people on the street asking why they're outside.

engineers at stanford have developed an ankle exoskeleton that can be stapped to a user's leg to make running easier. it has a cable which runs up the back of the leg, extending the ankle as the toes push off the ground. and finally, is video calling getting a little bit boring now? well, you could always, i don't know, chat to a goat? the sweet farm sanctuary in california has made their animals available online. called gotomeeting, it also teaches appearances from other barnyard animals. well, not such a bad idea. right, let's get back to it. 2009 was patchy and japan was as brilliantly japanese ever. augmented reality was a reality. home internet was getting so fast we couldn't think what we would need it for but then smart tvs

arrived and it turned out the answer was, everything. 3d television had resurfaced like some blurry white elephant with stupid glasses. we told you it would never catch on. i told that to this guy, too, but daniel ek didn't listen and spotify became a thing anyway. i have no idea what's going on right now. it's a new decade and 2010 starts with a bang. well, a crack, actually, as dan is told this phone is completely unbreakable, so he broke it. i've actually broken the phone! do not challenge us. play music with lightning? check. go skiing in the dubai desert? of course. make high—tech fashion look cool? um... there is mark out scavenging with his aunt. now bungie is out of the halo

business, what happens to the stars of its games? the spacefaring super soldiers, the spartans? window cleaning and lift attendants, apparently. but the year was once again dominated by apple, this time going big on tablets. but just the next year, the man who had led the company from next to nothing to global domination left us. stevejobs, the biggest tech superstar of his time. also in 2011, lara joined the team and immediately went for a lie down. the trouble is i often get up at 3:30am to talk about the weather. good morning. you remember the weather, don't you? it's the thing that's outside? and in the year of wiggly robots, holographic tv and cheap costume hire, we went looking for the next big thing.

here it is. for truly portable smartphone viewing, check out this tv hat. sorry, here it is. imagine wearable, bendable and colour—changeable tech? the breakthrough could be a material called graphene. down there, taking rare time on his now pathological need to destroy technology. more testosterone overload in 2012, mark demonstrated the standard tween the games consoles using the medium of the spaghetti western. special guest star, ennio marioni. and the rolling out a new universal id scheme farmers were altering their crops using text messages copy just a shame that now wasn't up to much. we also saw elephant collars and smart water pumps in kenya, and could you make a film on a mobile phone in 2012? no, absolutely not. so we did, with special effects.

you're welcome. by 2013, 3d printing was churning out all sorts of weird stuff, including bits for planes and space rovers. talking of which, here's another numberfrom mark's dressing up box, as he went full 2001 to look at the new xbox 0ne. and yes, that is what he wears when he goes to the shops nowadays. wouldn't save him from the attack of the giant robot spiders, though. but right now, when our biggest enemy is a tiny virus, i remember this trip to the deep—frozen blood banks of iceland, where eco—genetics were at the forefront of research into why each of us does or doesn't suffer from certain diseases. back in 2014, though, nothing could be further from our minds, as we popped on our phone skirts, hopped on our one—wheels and headed to australia.

they were also studying how bushfires behave, to help the authorities predict who to evacuate, and when. injapan, dan got his hands on the world's first 56 transmitter. this now fits in your phone. i did some air graffiti, lara did the windows, and lj got a facelift. see, i told you she was a cyborg. talking of which... in 2014, drones were everywhere. they were literally falling out of the sky. in israel, jen scared the life out of a lamp, and we saw the first self—driving car that could handle junctions. unlike mark. watch out, mark. there's a visual effect straight ahead!

2015 was a vintage year. south korea served up robots that hunted jellyfish, and an e—sports tournament where the teams were kept in a fish tank and flying hairdryers. and who could forget hugo, the robot that made me lose my faculties in the middle of a car park? in spain, we filmed a whole programme on mobile. don't do it, it was awful. what do you mean, everyone's having to do it these days? japan, brilliant. full of fake cats and ping—pong—playing robots. i was even checked out by a dinosaur. artificial intelligence was becoming huge, and steve created one that learned to walk. vr was going mainstream. kate was making it out of cardboard, and mark was falling for it in a big way. i actually tried to lean on the table there.

we thought nothing could top 2015, but then along came 2016. we saw the large hadron collider, and i had a moment. we went live for the first time, and the whole audience had one. and we became the first show to be filmed entirely in 360. look out, we're behind you! we made brand—new friends. it's hacker tfrom cbbc! wow, it's... lara lewington from bbc click! never heard of that. we saw such inspiring stories. but for me, one of my lifetime highlights, was the cybathlon in switzerland where roboticists and athletes worked together to one day make disability a thing of the past. by 2017, we were starting to get the sense that something was going wrong. fake news was the talk of the town,

and cambridge analytica were being accused of messing with our brains. don't mess with dave's brain, or he'll mess with yours. and seriously, don't mess with kat's, or she'll do some serious damage. talking of damage, this is the year the robots storm the castle. that's the first guest we have lost, as i recall. space was hotting up, with all kinds of plans to explore the solar system and land on other worlds. it's bouncy! and then there was fukushima. i climbed under a nuclear reactor and saw the robots that they're hoping will clean up the melted radioactive fuel. nothing i can add to that sentence will make it sound any more impressive. but, perhaps more than anything, this scene now sticks in my mind. the site of an abandoned nearby town, a scene that now seems uncomfortably close to home. what i'm actually standing on is less than a millimetre thick, and it really feels it.

protecting the environment has become a more and more urgent task, and we've seen our fair share of green tech over the years. here is lara on a floating solar farm in norway. in some ways, 2018 was pretty wet all round. steve did a vr waterslide because, well, why not? and here's nick on a jet—powered water board, because jet—powered water board. if we'd let him, he would have gone on this as well. he is off! look at him go! that is amazing! see you later, i'm off on the hover board. not everything was as it seemed, mind you. mark entered the largest green screen studio in the world and swears that he pulled this off first time. laughs. and the crowd goes wild! seriously, don't believe your eyes. the rise of deepfakes meant that face swappping was reality.

although whoever thought this was the best way to demonstrate it needs their head examined. we did a lot in 2018. a lot of it in slow—mo, which makes everything look cool. but once again, you have to hand it to the japanese. this put everything else in the shade. are they working? i can see your microphone, and i can see that you are smiling, and i can see there is a lady in the front with a red jacket. the guy next to her is wearing stripes. oh, my god, it's so amazing. remember maisie? we do. she broke our hearts and mended them all in one go, as she got to read her favourite book for the first time since she lost her sight. 2019 was an emotional year, really. we hit a continuous run of 1,000 shows, celebrating by making an interactive adventure that was the hardest programme we've ever made. 50 years after the arguably greater achievement of landing on the moon, lj bounced her voice off it.

hello, moon people. and we got to see the vehicles we'll be travelling to space in next. feel the forces in your tailbone... oh, i feel the forces in my tailbone! as could 0mar. plenty of forces there, i would have thought. yeah, i'd say there's nothing we won't do for click, a programme that has allowed us to live out our wildest, most childish dreams, and which has driven us mad and kept us sane every week for longer than anyone would have imagined. for however long you've been on this journey with us, i hope you've enjoyed the ride. such great memories. it's been a huge privilege for us to see these incredible things, and share them with you, over the past two decades. the world has changed a lot in the last 20 years, but right now, it's changing in a way i don't think many of us have seen in our lifetimes.

and that means that click has to change, too. like many of you, the team are now separated and isolated, and that means it's going to be nearly impossible for us to make a weekly programme. so we've taken the difficult decision... ..to flipping well carry on. in the last 20 years, we have pioneered ways of making programmes in bizarre and impossible circumstances, so if anyone can do it, we can. you've given us 20 years. it's the least we can do for you. i don't know what next week's click is going to look like yet, but i promise you this. there will be a click next week. so thank you, from all of us. thank you for watching,

thank you for being there, and we will see you soon. good afternoon. for most of us, warm, dry and increasingly sunny throughout the day. we have had some clown around with this weather front in the north, we will see cloud approaching from the west as we go

through tomorrow as well. most notable is the southerly wind drawn up notable is the southerly wind drawn up from africa, we will see temperatures well above the should be for this time of year. even if we keep the rain, the temperatures will be above from yesterday by two or three degrees. increasing amounts of sunshine as well. then through the night time period, dry air, strengthening winds pushing the rain only to the north. although we will have clear skies for many, because of the wind, we should largely escape a frost, just holding our temperatures above freezing and preventing pockets of mist and fog that were around this morning. more time trying to start for scotland and northern ireland, things and hazy tomorrow morning with the arrival of some rain in the afternoon. strengthening wind notable tomorrow, stronger than today, up to go force through the

irish sea and the western isles. 0therwise, temperatures will be two 01’ 0therwise, temperatures will be two or three degrees above those today, well above average, but also with high levels of tree pollen. for england and wales, it is predicted to be high across the board tomorrow. through tomorrow night, this weather front pushes eastwards, it looks like it bug of some heavy rain, it may stall across parts of south—east england and east anglia before clearing away so it could be quite wet for the morning here at the start of the afternoon. it freshens up and showers following behind, temperatures falling away into the afternoon. then right into the western atlantic flow before high pressure builds back up, most of the showers and rain will be in the far north—west. high—pressure builds as the week goes on and temperatures rise once more. more on the website.

good afternoon. sir keir starmer has been elected as the new leader of the labour party. the former director of public prosecutions — who's only been an mp forfive years — took 56% of the vote — defeating rebercca long—bailey and lisa nandy. a spokesman said sir keir has already talked to the prime minister and accepted the offer to meet next week for coronavirus briefings — adding that sir keir offered to work constructively with the government in a time of national emergency. here's our political

correspondent, helen catt. keir
