plus, take a look inside and you‘ve got a pair of true wireless earbuds. several people have been each part of the duolink go killed and many wounded speakerbuds has six hours‘ battery life, and the buds can in the austrian capital, vienna, during a terror attack be recharged when they‘re in the city centre, according sitting in the speaker. to the interior minister. i‘ve had a bit of a problem police say several gunmen with getting earbuds to fit opened fire in six different locations. at least one gunman and stay in my ears. now, as i‘ve often said before, is still on the loose. this may be because i have in the last hours before strange ears, but these ones election day in the us, actually fit very well, president donald trump has so they‘re great dismissed his poor poll for strange ears. this isn‘t the most amazing ratings as fake. audio i‘ve ever heard but for something so versatile at this price point, i don‘t think i complain. his opponent, joe biden, and now something says the country is tired for a quieter life. of the tweets, and what cocoon relax are claimed to be he called the failure the world‘s first sleep—aiding of the trump presidency. headphones, so they hope the hollywood actorjohnny depp to help you get a better has lost his libel action night‘s sleep but they could at the high court in london also give you a little bit against the sun newspaper of relaxation during the day. which had called him a ‘wife hm, i can‘t really beater‘. thejudge ruled that do it here, can i? an article which made yep, i got to rest the allegation — published two on thejob again. years ago — was ‘substantially true‘. they use cognitive behaviour therapy methods to provide his lawyers say relaxation as well as being full of biometric sensors. the actor will appeal. the device‘s eeg sensor aims to track brave waves along with monitoring motion and heartrate, combining them with info on the user‘s environment. this allows them to personalise the programme — for example, change the audio when you‘ve fallen asleep, or if there‘s some background sound, then add some white noise. you do, of course, have to buy into the idea that

now it‘s time for click. you would want to sleep in a pair of headphones. admittedly, they are extremely comfortable, it is just that halloween is here and this if you try to move away from your back, it is quite week, we have robotic tricks... hard to keep them in place. also, i do sleep pretty ..sailing treats... well and, to be honest, i don‘t really have much desire to relax — which maybe means i actually need to — ..eerie earbuds... ..and... so i‘m not sure i‘m screams. ..a presidential election! really their target market, but the thing i can see them being very useful for would be on an aeroplane, not that i‘m actually travelling anywhere right now. an earbud version is coming soon too, and there are plenty of other wearable sleep devices out there, including other earbuds aiming to help you get the best out of your slumber. here, i have the quieton sleep earbuds. one of the things they can do welcome to click. is use noise cancelling to get i hope you‘re 0k. rid of any snoring. listen, halloween might not be hopefully they can happening outdoors this year, but i tell you what — do that for my own. it‘s certainly happening i tried them at ces a little indoors — here, at least. while ago on the show floor, let‘s cross to lara‘s haunted house and see but now i can test what horrors await. a pair to go to bed. wow, you‘ve got lots with ten hours battery life, of halloween there! there‘s plenty of time for good night sleep.

uh, yeah. the noise cancelling turns out i do. and flattening did a greatjob of dampening down low—frequency sound and they were do you think i‘ve surprisingly and comfortable, overdone it slightly? but the one on the side oh, no, i love it! i was sleeping on kept you‘ve gone stylishly falling out by the morning, minimalist as always, i see. which is clearly a problem. yeah, all i could find was this skeleton in my closet. i don‘t really have anything else to decorate although maybe my strange the house with. do you know, i‘ve never eears are to blame again! been trick—or—treating. yes they do a better have you not? job than foam earplugs, well, look, many of us won‘t be but they do so with trick—or—treating this year but there are some people a pretty hefty price tag. who try to make it as safe as possible for the but if you simply want a bit kids who do pass by. of silence, or at least some of the time, then these prototype earplugs are trick—or—treat! an interesting proposition. this is luke keys from austin, texas and he‘s out to save the idea is you place them halloween. deep inside your ears — he‘s been finding ways to dispense sweets from a distance. as absurd as it sounds i actually had to watch the video to find out exactly how to do it because it‘s not at all instinctive — he‘s experimented with dropping but once you place them inside, them from a drone and even firing them further than i thought anything could actually fit in my ear, from an air cannon. byjust using this dial at the side, you can reduce but i think his star creation the volume around you by is this, artie the robot. between five and 38 decibels. to put that into context, after eight years of tinkering, the company claims that‘s losing around 80% of household its latest skill is sound at its highest. distributing socially and if you keep it on its lowest it barely makes d ista nt sweets. a difference and the reason that would be useful

it runs on arduino microcomputers, is the company‘s premise weighs in at about is that you would wear 140 kilograms, and has been shrunk down them all day. you simply adjust them to avoid scaring the kids. as to whether you want to turn up or down the volume say bye, guys! bye! of actual life. these are just the prototype, and i wasn‘t really sold on the idea that i would want just readjusting the lighting to something more sensible to keep them in all day, because straight after halloween, there is another but if you, do with no battery american horror story. and having been sitting never mind who wins, in the depths of your ear the run—up to the us canal, then you may be pleased presidential elections has been to know that they can be washed in soapy water. a political nightmare for many. wow, they look like two candidates yelling at each they go right in — other, misinformation did they touch your brain? completely clouding the very real issues that the country is having to deal with, and of course the debate over yes, i think so — it felt like it! whether masks are too 0k! now, you may remember a few scary to wear. weeks ago we took a look at the america‘s cup, a sailing now, for a long time there have race at the cutting—edge been attempts to try and engage of design tech. younger voters and also to make this week, we‘re going voting more accessible back to sea — for people with disabilities. in the us, a few states have this time for the start of a been running small trials round—the—world race to see whether technology can with a twist. play a part, and james clayton all of the sailors have to do has been to one of those states it completely alone. travelling 27,000 miles, to see it in action. it takes competitors 80 days of constant sailing.

america is about to hold they can only pause an election that feels like a crossroads for for 30—minute bursts of sleep. the country and already, so, naturally, this can tens of millions of people have impact their mental health. and one competitor is taking already voted either by postal on some tech that she hopes voting or voting early could come to the rescue. in places like this. but is there a simpler, zoe kleinman‘s been more technologically advanced way of voting? to the south coast of england to find out more. you can do your banking, even your tax returns online. so, why can‘t you vote digitally? this is pip hare. well, you might not know this but in some states, you actually can. she‘s taking part in this this is terra year‘s vendee globe race. from west virginia. she‘s been disabled i don‘t think there is another sporting event on the planet since the age of two. that asks so much it was very simple. of human beings. i mean, literally in less pip‘s trying to beat the world record set 15 years ago than 15 minutes, i had gone by dame ellen macarthur. online, entered the information, got my ballot, the challenge is physically voted, signed it, and sent it off. tough both on the sailor several companies are trialling mobile voting in this and on the boat. presidential election in a very limited way. those who are eligible are members of the armed forces but something that can be

overlooked is the mental health and people with disabilities. strain of being completely alone at sea for weeks on end. one called voatz does it by mobile. it is why pip‘s team is going to keep a eye another called democracy on her well—being. live uses web browser. so, how does it work? pip‘s boat is kitted out with every gadget you‘d expect on a 21st—century craft. autopilot, gps, led flares, when finished filling but what sets it apart is that out your ballot, select continue at the bottom mental health tech is also of the page to move on to the final step part of the package. where you will sign your ballot and review your ballot packet. i‘m really interested in how you‘re going to cope with being completely well, every state is different on your own for such a long period of time. but all of the pilots need some kind of verification so, it is a long time at sea that it‘s actually you. but i‘m really not alone, that could be facial id or a photo of your id i‘m well—connected. or a signature. i have two satellite systems, i can upload video, then, it acts very much i can whatsapp chats... like a postal vote. that‘s until you send it off. voatz uses block chain and this connection to shore to store your vote. is where this 20—year—old yacht democracy live keeps the data in amazon‘s cloud. truly becomes cutting—edge. a copy of your ballot pip‘s team plans to use artificial intelligence to understand how she‘s really is also printed out. feeling from the videos she shares during her voyage. the voatz app is being trialled in a county in utah. democracy live in west virginia, injurisdictions in oregon and south carolina. it's looking at the text that's been transcribed from anything anybody says, and it's giving us a sentiment about positive,

neutral, or negative, it‘s not a huge trial. about what's being said. at most, a few thousand and then it's also looking will vote this way. at your facial expressions the pilots are all being funded by this man, bradley tusk. as you are talking an early investor in uber, to identify emotions. he‘s got deep pockets anything from joy to effortful and big ambitions. thought to emphasis as well as things like you know, i‘m not doing this contempt and disgust. just because i want to make it easier for military to vote so, when pip uploads a video, or people with disabilities say something like this... to vote but because i want it‘s my last day in port today. to radically increase turnout overall so that we move things it ends up in a system that into the centre, right? looks a little like this, which picks up all of the different emotions and so that everybody votes, that she‘s experiencing. and that means having technology that can this then allows her team handle millions of votes. to work out how they might be able to help her. so, why aren‘t we all e—voting? why aren‘t we all voting on our mobile phones? it's really do...we sense well, it‘s because there are that pip isn't asjoyful a lot of people who are very as she has been over the past week sceptical of the technology, and do we want to have another and some believe there are some serious security flaws phone call that really tries with some of these apps. to lift her spirits? i caught up with michael — he‘s reverse—engineered these but to give it a fair trial, two electronic voting systems and says he‘s found security i thought i‘d have a go, too. flaws in both. and i don‘t think i‘ll be needing a pep talk any time soon — i seem pretty chipper. i'm definitely surprised back on land, this technology that it was as easy as it was. is used to do market research, i think there's a lot of things analysing video uploads they could have done to make it from customers.

much harder, but overall, those sorts of problems are not necessarily solvable it basically replaces the focus in using the current group and medallia claims that technology, which is one lets companies monitor emotional responses of the reasons why we wanted to their products. to take a look at this but when it comes to this race, i‘ll be interested to see just system in the first place. how useful it is. the team is still limited in what support here‘s the example he gives. it can provide remotely. remember the online banking comparison? well, this is why he thinks that‘s not a fair parallel. looking after pip‘s mental health includes helping her when you bank online, make good decisions you can actually see especially when she is tired. a transcript of how you, she plans to survive on just 30 minute bursts of sleep. you know, spent your money, it is not always easy and you can say, "hey, to understand how well that one is this transaction, my cognitive function, says that i spent how it might be impaired, or how well it is functioning. $500 in the uk, but i live in boston and have never been to the uk, so i am working with a company therefore this is obviously who specialises in monitoring fraudulent, right? " you can't really do rare health conditions the same thing with voting for patient management. and they have written me because if you can prove the way that you voted, an app that will help me if you can have this transcript, someone else can get a hold of it. assess my own cognitive ability while i am out there. i put some of these criticisms to both of these companies. for me if i am about to first, democracy live. at some point, we can‘t hold make a big decision, back the tide, right? maybe i might decide next—generation voters to have a bit of a sleep

are going to demand next—generation before i make the decision. voting technologies. we‘re going to learn this app called oxygen gives her regular promise lessons, right? that‘s why we‘re starting small to complete basic maths challenges, and responsibly with voters a bit like brain training and the speed that would be otherwise and accuracy of her answers disenfranchised. indicates how alert she is. we don‘t have all the answers right now. the academic community and the security community i get a notification don‘t have all the answers. through my wearable so there that‘s why you do smaller is a forward memory task responsible testing, where i recall the numbers learn the lessons, and then build from there. in a list going forwards. and that‘s what we‘re trying to do right now, and we‘re starting with groups that today would be otherwise disenfranchised. there is a backwards memory task, i put those same questions same againjust a little bit harder. to the founder of voatz. without the app i would just do it through mental arithmetic obviously, it's new, tasks but the app gives a bit so there will be criticisms. so, we welcome the scrutiny of regularity to what i am doing and then we‘re but at the same time, also collecting the data so that we can learn a lot of that is hypothetical. from it when i get back. it is crazy to think that the next time i come back i will have sailed just by looking at one piece around the world. of the system without actually transacting with the system in any meaningful way often that was zoe kleinman would lead you to incorrect with pip hare. we wish pip all the very best of luck for the race. that‘s it for click or incomplete assumptions. this week at halloween.

lara, what on earth?! so what did terra think of her experience of voting online? well, you clearly didn‘t think i like it for people with disabilities because it i was making enough effort, so i‘m now mixing you up gives us options and we need something in my cauldron. options, because some of us anyway, you can keep up just can‘t get out. with the team throughout the week — won‘t that be fun? we‘re on youtube, instagram, some of us require special facebook, and twitter tools in order to write @bbcclick. thanks for watching, or speak, and i think that it‘s and we‘ll see you soon. echoing: bye! a good option for people like that, but i am not necessarily an advocate of electronic voting without a lot more security around. both types of voting have been used before in local elections and both companies say they‘ve never been successfully hacked. is e—voting the future? hello. are voting stations the much advertised change like this the past? to drier, calmer weather well, not so fast there is still coming this week because even the advocates though for the day ahead of this technology it is still blustery out there. say that technology is not quite there yet, sunshine yes but showers some which does rather beg heavy but, in the wind, the question why is it will move through being tried in a us election? quite quickly. high pressure will finally

build in from wednesday but perhaps these small trials for a few days but, as that may help to one day offer another safe and secure form happens, there will be of voting in america — an increasing chance of getting some frost just maybe not quite yet. and some fog as well. but that may well be a better deal than the recent flooding some of us have been james clayton there. dealing with. of course, this isn‘tjust a chillier start in the morning, particularly a debate limited just in england and wales and a few to the us. areas of wet weather to contend with. the pandemic has played havoc one running eastwards across southern england, with elections around the world parts of the midlands, and the arguments for into east anglia — and against online voting systems have been some heavier bursts here. a bit of rain and hill snow given new life. into parts of scotland, but in one country, it has been gradually easing, as both a reality now for well areas of wet weather over a decade. ease, clear away. we‘re in the afternoon with sunshine and showers. the greater chance of cathting a shower would be in the west, way back in 2005, where some will be heavy, possibly thundering digitally—savvy estonia became in western scotland. the first country to allow it is still windy out there, online voting in elections. not as windy as it‘s been. these are average wind speeds. skip forward to their 2019 still some gusts around 30mph. general election and 44% of voters filled out more than that through the english channel and the far north of scotland their ballots online. as we go into the evening. and for many of us, temperatures hanging on into single figures as we go and there have been other examples of positive engagement on through the afternoon, with internet voting despite any sunshine around. across the world. back in april, the labour party still a few showers overnight and into wednesday morning

elected their new leader in parts of scotland, running down into in an online ballot northern england. in which a 70% of its 550,000 many places though will be dry members voted. and clearand, as the winds turn lighter further south, across england and parts of wales, frost on the cards for some and for some of us the first, of course, this way of voting of the season. makes a lot of sense — so a chilly start on wednesday it‘s less expensive but a bright start. than the traditional in—person plenty of sunshine around system and for many it isjust easier. although most will stay dry, and could online voting a bit more cloud runnig be the way to engage into northern ireland, a younger generation? especially scotland, as time goes on, online voting and some rain pushing will become more and more important for young people. in to the far north of scotland on through the afternoon and into the evening. because society will become again, frost and chance of fog increasingly digital, increasingly online, whilst in parts of england and wales, at the same time our voting system will look exactly as thursday begins. the same as those that existed in the 1800s. that could be slow to clear. some areas of cloud therefore you are going around parts of scotland and northern ireland to have a big divide but you can see the extent of the dry weather on thursday. between democracy and the way that people live their lives. we can have elections, but there are still thousands fog could be rather more wide of people who can‘t physically vote, and therefore we have spread as we start the day elections but we‘re on friday and going into the weekend, high pressure is moving away, low pressure starts not a full democracy. to edge in from the south. a chance of rain increases again, though temperatures head up with a milder southerly wind. although there is a chance however, many claim that online voting is still too vulnerable of rain over the weekend,

to cyber attacks and it does not look anywhere near as wet or as windy security breaches. as it has been recently. malware could tamper with votes before they reach government servers, and hackers could create mirror versions of an election portal, steal voter credentials, or even attack the computers that count the ballots. but in estonia, there have been no serious security issues. however, crucially, online voting is linked to the country‘s state—of—the—art electronic id cards, which estonians use for everything from paying taxes to accessing health records, and not every country has such a solid digital infrastructure in place. and some countries just don‘t want to take the risk. after years of testing, for example, switzerland was hoping to push forward with online voting — but in 2019 decided to end trials after flaws were uncovered in the proposed system. regardless of whether you‘re for or against internet voting, all would agree that the stakes

could not be higher than in major elections where there can be zero doubt cast on the outcome. so we may have to settle for waiting in line at the ballot box for a little while yet. hello, and welcome to the week in tech. it was the week that harley—davidson revealed its electric bicycle, the serial! will go on sale next march. the ceos of google, facebook and twitter, face hours of questions from us senators on censorship and misinformation on their founders, and alibaba founder jack ma‘s new online payment group detailed his plans for a stock market debut next month. it‘s said to be the world‘s largest ever. it was also the week that spacex satellite internet service started recruiting beta testers with low expectations to test its broadband. for a fairly steep $1199 a tester will get a router and terminal to connect to the satellites, giving access to what an e—mail describes as "better

than nothing" internet service. the release of the highly—anticipated game cyberpunk 2077 has been delayed again until december the 10th. a letter from the developers cd project red apologised for the further delays and said they knew the announcement would raise emotions and questions. spot, the boston dynamics robot dog, was sent to chernobyl to help sniff out radiation. 3a years on from the disaster, 200 tonnes of radioactive fuel is estimated to still be in the area. welcome to bbc news — and finally, we met another i‘m mike embley. our top stories: robot named spot who‘s also learning to behave like a dog. manhunt in vienna — a team from johns hopkins at least one armed suspect university are training this at large after terror attack in the city centre. robot using dog training two people are known to have techniques of positive been killed and several others reinforcement. injured during assaults in six different locations. when it performs a task well, the robot gets a treat. on the eve of the us presidential election — researchers say it can achieve joe biden and donald trump make in two days what would usually a final push for votes. take a month of training. and an extraordinary story of survival — the three—year—old girl pulled from the rubble days after the earthquake in turkey. the headphone market is seriously overcrowded, so companies are having

to get a little bit more creative these days. take a look at this, for example — it looks like one speaker, and it is in this form, you call this party mode, but you can also separate them into two and place them up 00:15:14,309 --> 2147483051:44:21,869 to 22 feet apart to 2147483051:44:21,869 --> 4294966103:13:29,430 create stereo sound. a manhunt is underway in the austrian capital vienna
