i'm simon pusey. the headlines: in the united states, another 6.6 million workers of bardwell employment in the last week. that brings the number of claims to almost 17 million injust three weeks. new figures also show that up to 60,000 americans could die with coronavirus, down scaling the earlier estimates. as infection rates and death tolls begin to soar, researchers are working around the clock to develop a coronavirus vaccine. an australian team from the university of queensland has reached a new base of testing, partnering with the dutch company for preclinical studies. in the prime minister borisjohnson who is receiving treatment for coronavirus has been moved out of intensive care ata has been moved out of intensive care at a london hospital spokesperson said his recovery is at an earlier stage. earlier, a lifting of the lockdown across the uk has been ruled out for the time being. now bbc news, victoria derbyshire

has more information on health i'll this week, dial—up internet. apple releases the ipod. very tight suits, and furry friends. it's our 20th birthday and these are our greatest hits. welcome to click, i am spencer kelly. on the sixth of april 2000, a plucky new tv programme hit the 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 an airstop air stop because it's impossible to believe we are celebrating our 20th birthday in a world that seems eerily similar to those dystopian sci—fi films we grew up on. we are going to find it hard to stay on our during the lockdown. but for old times sake, because sub birthday. we are going to forget about it all and ta ke are going to forget about it all and take one last look at click through the ages. get ready for 20 years in 20 minutes. 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 off and 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. the new millennium was off and 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 3g 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 3g 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 iop. and as we try 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 areas again, this time appearing as a me—con 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 talk 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 enormous 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 followed 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 caps on fixed line broadband during the current virus 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. this follows 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

strapped 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 goattomeeting, it also features appearances from other barnyard animals. well, not such a baa—d idea. right, let's get back to it. 2009 was a packed year 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. this follows 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 strapped to a user's leg to make running easier. it has a cable which runs up the back of the leg, 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. and 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. dan there, taking rare time out from his now pathological need to destroy technology. bo0m more testosterone overload in 2012, as mark demonstrated the stand—off between the games consoles using the medium of the spaghetti western. special guest star, ennio marioni. i thank you. india started rolling out a new universal id scheme and farmers were watering their crops using text messages — just a shame satnav 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 one. 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 decode 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. to see plans to bring down space debris using lasers! 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 5g 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... can you imagine my eyes looking at your from the bottom of the bed? laughs anxiously 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. click theme music 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? laughing mit in boston had excellent ideas and 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. was that entirely necessary? i think it was. it added something. artificial intelligence was becoming huge, and steve created one that learned to walk. hololens was on the scene and vr was going mainstream. kate was making it out of cardboard, and mark was falling for it in a big way. laughter right, 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 t dog from 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 disabled athletes worked together to one day make disability a thing of the past. jarring music 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 stormed the castle. that's the first guest we've 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 sight 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's 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's off! he is off! ride of the valkyries plays look at him go! that is amazing! see you later, i'm off on the hoverboard. 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 faceswapping was a reality. although whoever thought this was the best way to demonstrate it needs their head examined.

we did so much 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. maisie, are they working? yeah! i can see your microphone, and i can see that you're 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. radio: 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 omar. 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's 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.

spencer sniffles hello there. most parts of the country will be dry and warm today. yesterday was the warmest day of the year so far in wales with temperatures of 23.5 degrees in cardiff, similar temperatures again today and some parts of southern england may reach 25 degrees. yesterday under the cloud

in newcastle was only 9 degrees so today will be warmer, a bit warmer across central and southern parts of scotland. over the weekend we will see the high temperatures getting squeezed down towards the south—east of england, we will start to see cooler from the north, significant change for all of us on monday with cool and northerly wind. these are the temperatures that we start off with on friday so mild even in the south where we have so mild even in the south where we have clearer skies. much milder across northern scotland this time but there will be rain to clear away from the northern isles and then we see some sharp showers coming in across scotland, perhaps the far north of england before it brightens up and we get sunshine, the rain holding off until the evening. sunshine across england and wales and the high—temperature is likely to be in the midlands, wales towards the south—east of england 24 maybe even 25 degrees. some of that heat could trigger thundery downpours late in the day across north wales moving to northern england and there is also wet weather coming into parts of scotland as well. there will still be showers around on saturday morning across scotland and the north of england. those should tend to fade away and they should all brighten up again and for much of the country should be dry into the afternoon. a few sharp showers developing in wales in the south—western that

means the high temperatures are more likely to be in the south—east of england. 26 degrees as possible. more significant changes are coming in on sunday. northern parts of the uk will be cooler and cloudier, further south we will have some sunshine but there is more likely to be showers developing across more southern parts of england and wales. those could be heavy and thundery. 22 degrees still possible in the south—east with the heat is beginning to ever way. and that is because we have a change in the wind direction. while we will see the back of the showers eventually it is a cold area of high pressure moving down from the north and ringing with it more northerly wind and some stronger wind overnight and into monday. it may blow in more cloud across the eastern side of the uk, sunshine further west but the high—temperature this time is 14 degrees, for many temperatures are below average for the time of year.

welcome to bbc news. i'm simon pusey. the headlines: a further 6.5 million us workers file for unemployment as president trump announces plans to reduce the economic impact of coronavirus. in the uk, a massive rise in the number of reported deaths. prime minister boris johnson out of intensive care but staying in hospital as the uk government says there are no plans to lift block down. s. america st traders defying orders to stay indoors to feed theirfamilies. mission control: and liftoff. and getting away from it all —
