the third arab state to do so in two months. us president donald trump made the announcment and said he expects saudi arabia to follow soon. palestinians have reacted angrily to the announcement, describing it as another stab in the back. several countries in europe have reported coronavirus infection rates higher than during the first wave of the pandemic in the spring. in france, the government has imposed an overnight curfew on two—thirds of the country which will operate for the next six weeks. protests are spreading across poland — after a court ruling banning virtually all abortion — with exceptions only for cases of rape, incest, or where the mother's health is at risk. poland already has some of the eu's strictest abortion laws. the demonstrations are taking place despite tight coronavirus restrictions. now on bbc news, click talks exclusively with legendary uk

rapper stormzy about his appearance in the upcoming fa ct fact checking the presidential contenders. taking us through a ride on his hometown and chris texas through a red of his kitchen. welcome to click. i hope you're well. the world has some pretty big milestones ahead of the. in short term, the us election. the election always feels like the biggest yet. and this comes at the time when trust in

politics and politicians is at a real low. the final presidential debate has not taken place in the idea is that these debates should tell voters about the candidates policies and help them to make an informed decision at the ballot box. but as is becoming big mudslinging shouting arguments, the rallies and debates have also been riddled with untruths. we live at a time and disinformation is divided and entrenching us to the point where it is threatening democracies around the world. if you cannot believe what you see, read and hear, including what comes out of politicians mouths, how can you make the right decision? it has become such a widespread issue that some organisations affect checking services and companies around the world that

solejob is to companies around the world that sole job is to spot the lies. but keeping up with the volume of misinformation out there is a hard task. a part of a team of fa ct a hard task. a part of a team of fact checkers were recently tasked with monitoring the debate live. but not all of her tea m debate live. but not all of her team members were human. you need to be in a position bruton ta ke need to be in a position bruton take testing rapidly. sorting truths from half—truth to com plete truths from half—truth to complete fabrication is time—consuming, so she had help from an ai algorithm. if i were to manually fact check a claim, it will be on average two to three to manually fact check a claim, it will be on average two to three hours. which is minimum because we have to manually check all of the sources, make sure our sources are reliable, but when the ai steps in, our time is reduced by 70 to 80%. so, we can turn a claim around and around 15 to 20 minutes and

so and around 15 to 20 minutes and so that reliable information is spreading as soon as possible. the first presidential debate was the first chance to work with a live video feed using the software. you have promised to repeal and replace 0bama ca re to repeal and replace 0bama care you have never in these four years come up with a plan. the human and ai combination we re the human and ai combination were able to check 27 claims. the software performed two tasks. it translatable so that the text. which was no easy feat, so we did get a few things wrong. but for those it did manage to capture, it would then consult its huge database of pre—established facts that it had pulled out of thousands of articles from trusted sources. the forest fires in

the west are reaching now and they have been millions of acres. they were checked and verified by a machine alone. 0ur confidence score is 0.9. this means that the ai has also put ina this means that the ai has also put in a link against which the extracted claim matches perfectly. even with the ai is fairly confident of its findings, the check before published. for half of the remaining claims, the ai still returns results with less certainty and so they had to pass her expert eyes over the source material first. pass her expert eyes over the source materialfirst. the ai really struggled with eight out of the 27 claims which had to be fact checked completely by hand. this process still takes a little while, anything from two minutes up to more than 90 minutes for claims that have never been made before. so, i asked the man behind logical lea p asked the man behind logical leap whether there will be a

late—breaking truth that would allow the light to have its impact. when you are putting your whole wheat behind a claim in saying that this is true or false or based on presently available information. ithink something like that,, it was certainly begin with latency that they are not worth losing by getting things wrong every fiow by getting things wrong every now and then. a recent cambridge university graduate and she knows first—hand how misinformation can risk lives. my grandmother passed away prematurely. she read somewhere that if she gave up her meds prescribed to her from a proper doctor and started drinking the specialjuice of some kind, that she would live longer and she would have a pain—free death, etc and that was all false. and apart from the

misinformation health risks, the stories are a big political events in the past few years convinced and something had to be done. regardless of the outcome above the specific democratic events. it is a public process wise, something was breaking with how we as individuals interacted with information online and we were all being shopped into various filter bubbles and echo chambers digitally and these certainly were impacting the decisions that we were making in our personal lives, but also important decisions that were making a society. for now, fact checking services have become essential in this fight. but the defining change will ultimately come when the social networks are able to stop the stuff from going viral in the first place. i think it is time for a bit of star power. what

do you reckon? are you up for a to of star dust? 0h, definitely. now, manya to of star dust? 0h, definitely. now, many a rock star and musician has swapped the mic for a go at being a movie star. madonna has done it, mickjagger movie star. madonna has done it, mick jagger has movie star. madonna has done it, mickjagger has done it, beyonce too. but today, video games are bigger than music and video combined. so one of the most famous names has appeared in games. stormzy is one of the most successful names in the music industry right now. but he is going to be swapping his next gig to the virtual streets of london in the video game. we met stormzy to chat about a game in his hometown and of the art form has grown up and is now tackling material that talks to the troubled times that we live in. stormzy new single rainfall has a new single rainfall has a new single with a bit of a difference. (music)

it features the musician is a video game character performing inside an actual game. soon to be released watchdogs. i'm about to meet him in the flesh. the game is appearing in the near future london and the game is appearing in the nearfuture london and has protest a nd resista nce nearfuture london and has protest and resistance keen to find out if he thinks this video game has any parallels the things that are going on in 2020. one of the games main themes as ordinary people bending together to resist and to fight back against an oppressive regime. do you think thatis oppressive regime. do you think that is saying anything about the world we live in right now? it is very reflective of the times in the sense of yeah, we as people need to be coming

together. you know what i mean? to capture that perfectly in the sense of like, your everyday person being more important than they realise, you know. so, yeah, definitely. a third person action title, watchdogs takes place in a dystopian version of the future london, controlled by corrupt corporate interests. the player can recruit and control any of the thousands of characters they encounter on london streets. performing missions that will ultimately bring down the authoritarian regime. stormzy plays a version of himself and at this fictional world, he is a rapper who is message of resistance is transmitted by a pirate video signal. he spent three days being performance captured at the toronto studio. so, following the gps, that should ta ke following the gps, that should take you there. whoa, whoa. i should not be doing that. absolutely recklessly. on the

back of there. it is so london, is it special being in the game thatis is it special being in the game that is set in london? it's the most. i am that is set in london? it's the most. iam london that is set in london? it's the most. i am london london is me. i feel, most. i am london london is me. ifeel, i'm a proper london boy through and through and so, it's my city and i love her dearly. it is a big part of ym asa dearly. it is a big part of ym as a man and an artist in my character. my bank is up there, literally. if i turn,. for people that don't know london, that's gibson co. , the same bank his majesty. broke, that is me. this is mental! not the only musician, hejoins a long list mental! not the only musician, he joins a long list of other artists that include the likes of 50 cents. and who can forget

david bowie. you are not the first video game player to get your soul trapped. this to be cashing and on star power, but sometimes as about an artist experimenting with the new medium. and there are some points of convergence between the two art forms. there is a long history of music being used for protest and to provoke change about things that are going on. do you think that video games have the power to do that as well? 100,000,000%. any platform wherever way shape orform, or whatever any platform wherever way shape or form, or whatever mediums we use as creators or artists, it's a platform for us to speak out against injustice, for it to be like pillars of truth or what not. especially with video

games. even down to the region video games is astronomical. yeah, ioo%, especially with the times we are in, anything can be applied platform to speak of. away from your music career, your universities the temperature is up and running. how important is it that you use your position when doing the things that you're doing well. i have so much reach and ifind well. i have so much reach and i find that my duty and responsibility to share what i have. so there is something wrong, that there is something that we need to think about things a little bit differently? of these things are set up to address the uneven injustices and these are of society. so, there's so many people of influence and artists in public figures doing these things to try to just, with

those who needed a bit. glastonbury headliner and not taking on the world of games. the south london star continues to shine. hello and welcome, it was the week that the us government filed a lawsuit against google, accusing the company of violating competition law for the online advertising. 2 million ads pricking political campaigning rules attaching false information warnings to a further 150 million posts and after just six further 150 million posts and afterjust six months, video streaming service is shutting down. the start up raised almost $2 billion for its launch, but suffered disappointing download and viewership numbers. it was also the week that nasa wanted a wi reless the week that nasa wanted a wireless 4g network on the

moon. propose cellular network is part of a plan to establish a long—term human presence on the moon by 2030. developers of the moon by 2030. developers of the covid—i9 contract tracing app for england and wales reassured users that none of their data will be shared to their data will be shared to the police. this followed news that contact details for people to self—isolate from the test and treat scheme in england are shared with the police on a case—by—case basis. developers say that the app operates independently of the system. and finally, with changes with the seasons, a researcher at yale has developed the fabric with sensors and variable stiffness fibres that show the fabric responding to changes in temperature. when the fabric is full, it will stiffen and in warm weather, they become almost liquid.

racing to be crowned champion in the next generation console wars. nintendo has done something very nintendo and said, never mind that ultra high definition gaming, how about some augmented reality recent cards. this is mario ka rt recent cards. this is mario kart life home circuit, which ta kes kart life home circuit, which takes the best—selling nintendo game and turns your house into the race track. and the way this works pretty clever. it contains a camera that streams live footage of your living room to the nintendo switch consol which she uses the remote control. and for a book report its coming and set them up report its coming and set them up around your home and whatever configuration space will allow to form your racetrack. the software can recognise the gates as you drive through them creating the go. we also give his cardboard arrows that will augmented with animations. what she was set up, it's like a —— which are set up it's like a

regular game of mario kart. but it's all taking place of your own living room. you can also raise up to four of these cards together to play multiplayer your living room if you got the space, so it will need a nintendo switch council for each one. it goes about saying that you need a fair bit of space to set this up, but you can arrange it in a modest sized living room and that is because once on screen it looks like a cars zooming around the racetrack, and the real world, the card is just crumbling around the living room fairly slowly. it can also make some pretty sharp turns, so you can set it up in a smaller room, although i think you get more out of this the more space. there are some limitations to the sufferer. not all the power ups worked in the way you expect them to an irregular mario kart game. you cannot hold a banana behind your car to protect yourself from shelves, even though bullet bill exterior around the track automatically, which i think is quite impressive, it cannot detect obstacles, sea and depression quite a lot. so, the

augmented reality layer doesn't, so it is always overlaid on top of the camera feed. so, here with the track should disappear behind the sta ble should disappear behind the stable like, it doesn't that mean you tend to crash more than you would expect, although thatis than you would expect, although that is a part of the madness and we do crush, your character reacts and we do crush, your character rea cts o n and we do crush, your character reacts on screen. the big question for all augmented reality applications is how much do you actually get out of this but once you were over that initial moment of this is cool? most of the place i know are still playing pokemon go and have turned off the camera effects because even though they look cool, they ultimately add very little to the gameplay andi add very little to the gameplay and i think that may also be theissue and i think that may also be the issue here. but, with all augmented reality games, how is this different than playing the consul game, ultimately i think it is not. it'sjust consul game, ultimately i think it is not. it's just different. it isa it is not. it's just different. it is a different take on mario ka rt it is a different take on mario kart and it is a different take on mario kartandi it is a different take on mario kart and i think that's fine. whether this love the same enduring appeal is the traditional council game, but mario kart is the best—selling game of the nintendo switch in

if any consul can take a are mainstream, it is probably mario kart. turning his floor into a race track. how cool was that? brilliant. in because we cannot all go out as much as we would like to. our homes have had to become our cinemas, our works pa ces had to become our cinemas, our workspaces and our playground. it knows what laura has been working out this week. are you need is a protector. —— all you need. there also some quirky options as well as some that will provide cinema on go. it wasn't long ago that the idea ofa wasn't long ago that the idea of a turning any surface into a touch—screen basically like a ta blet touch—screen basically like a tablet would have seen the stuff of science fiction, but thatis stuff of science fiction, but that is what this does. take a look at this. this projector uses deep learning, gesture

control object recognition and what he calls skeleton recognition to be able to identify and focus on its surface as well as respond to a humans touch. i was not holding up humans touch. i was not holding up high hopes for the accuracy, especially came to typing on a keyboard like this, but actually, i found it keyboard like this, but actually, ifound it was pretty good. the system runs on android and to be paid within android and to be paid within android or ios device. as well as being able to search the web and use built—in apps, there is ina and use built—in apps, there is in a high—powered education to with letters and blocks that he can recognise. a kitchen function is coming soon too as well as a fitness feature that is being claimed to track your moods, letting you know whether they are right or not. you can also use it to project on a wall, but when you do that, you'd know about the touch control available. it also is to be very close to war because if you do too far away, he accidentally shined it on the ceiling wonder what is going

on. that isjust ceiling wonder what is going on. that is just wrong. ceiling wonder what is going on. that isjust wrong. though it is quite cool. imagine turning up at your friend's house with this, no, it is not a drinks cooler. it is a 4k projector and pretty much everything you need should be built into the box. it streams for content and has high—quality speakers you can even operated through google home using your voice. this vibrantly projects a million pixels. the speakers provide clear crisp sound, but maybe not up to the volume that the picture might beckon. and the device that is trying to do so much, so to get up to achieve full functionality did feel overcomplicated though. and clearly the standout feature here is that it is a portable 4k projector. at the lower end of the scale of the sprocket projector which can connect

directly to wi—fi or your phone, maybe you want to do a slide show. and other project is on the market, your expectations do you need to be managed. getting set up a simple, with a dial to focus and the ability to deal with a range of file types. i did start of the few issues, some issues with the apps but the sound quality is different and it isa sound quality is different and it is a versatile device and at this point, it is ok. and here's one for the kids, it comes with a portal so the pa rents comes with a portal so the pa re nts ca n comes with a portal so the parents can keep it i am of the children are watching and seeing anything that they should and if a child comes than 60 cm of the light here, it automatically turns to protect their little lives. it also has all of the streaming services built and as well as the ability to connect via hdmi

or bluetooth, providing a screen of up to 100 inches. it isa screen of up to 100 inches. it is a small but solid device. it is a small but solid device. it is really slick, the picture quality is sharp and the sound was pretty decent for the speakers. but, the price is high in the device indicates, it may be too high. there you have it. if you are the latest ways of bringing entertainment home. unless, you'd rather entertain yourself to spend your hard earned cash on a virtual screen. that projector was amazing. yes, go for more attention to your house the most of the gadgets on cortes day. my husband was fascinated, i'm sorry you haven't had a chance to play. one day. one day. most of them projecting things on the services to projecting things into the sky with lasers. back injune, we

told you that leaves her maestro had been showing his appreciation to carriers and nhs staff by projecting love and thanks across his home city of britain. after a trial earlier this month, lisa lake city is happening this weekend in leeds. but cities under lock and local autumn light shows unable to happen, the idea here is that 25 lasers mounted on buildings around the city will put on a show that residents can see regardless of restrictions on social gatherings. created all the control software himself, but this is an interactive show, meaning thousands of people we re meaning thousands of people were able to log onto a special website and take control of the lasers. changing the colour, shapes and direction of the beams which can be seen up to miles away. as the dark nights draw in, he is hoping they can light up more cities and bring a little laser sparkle to this unusual autumn evening. anyway,

thatisit unusual autumn evening. anyway, that is it for this week. you can find the team online throughout the week on youtube, instagram, facebook and twitter @ bbc click. thank you for watching and we will see you soon. goodbye. hello. if you are hoping to get out about this weekend, the weather may have an impact on your plans. it is looking decidedly unsettled. it will be windy, some heavy rain at times but not all the time. some drier and brighter moments as well. low pressure in charge of the weather at the moment. quite a big low and deep low as well. a lot of white lines and isobars quashing together. it shows we will have strong winds and the strongest of those will always be in association with this band of rain. the wet and windiest

weather to start saturday across the western side of the uk, the rain ban will push it eastwards through the day and you can see the bright green and yellow colours showing up, a short and sharp burst of really intense rainfall accompanied by the really squally winds pushing eastwards as we go through the day. largely dry in the southeast. sunshine and showers from the west. windy for all and strong winds along the lines of the rain band. and temperatures 17 degrees across the southeast. turning cooler and fresher from the northwest as the rain band clears its way through. the rain will persist across east anglia and the southeast for a good part of saturday night. clear spells and showers follow on from the west and don't forget, the clocks go back an hour through the early hours of sunday. the end of the british summertime and as the weather goes, summer has long since left us, and it's an autumnal wea hter chart that takes us into sunday. low pressure again up

to the northwest of the uk. pretty brisk winds on sunday, not quite as windy and it would have been on saturday. some swells of sunshine and showers as well some spells of sunshine and showers as well and the most frequent and plentiful across the western areas. i think we will also see quite a few run again across the english channel coast. as i mentioned it will be windy, strongest winds across the west of scotland. these are the average wind speeds. quite a cool feel as well, with temperatures between 11 and 1a degrees. we head into the new working week, low pressure still with us. it will lose some of its intensity as we go into the monday. the winds will ease a little but still some showers and rain around. and it is looking like a very unsettled week ahead. that is it from me for now. enjoy your weekend.
