and he hopes lifting of curbs will be "irreversible". but the national medical director for the nhs in england warns people not to "squander the gains" made against coronavirus ahead of restrictions easing on monday. the government says lorry drivers arriving in england from outside the uk will need to take a covid test within 48 hours and then one every 72 hours afterwards. prime minister borisjohnson is urged to "swiftly clarify" how many covid vaccine doses the uk is prepared to donate to poorer countries. the latest efforts to dislodge the ship that's stuck in the suez canal have failed — they'll try again on sunday. will bejoining viewers

will be joining viewers on the now, on bbc news, it's time for click. this week — connecting at—risk communities. throwing some shapes in the living room. so begins the end! and oh, good to see my mum's on tv again! growls. hey, welcome to click! i don't know what it is like where you are but things still feel a hit up and down to me at the moment. some are heading into new lockdowns, some are coming out of lockdowns, some have access to the vaccine and some don't. but you mayjust be feeling now like there is some light at the end of the tunnel. but of course for many, the impact on their mental

health has been huge, and that's not necessarily going to ease just because lockdown is. and, of course, people may have many other struggles to deal with as well. and that's what our first piece this week is about. it's from nick kwek in australia and it's about suicide, so it's going to discuss some issues that you may find upsetting. aboriginal and torres strait islander people are twice as likely to end their own lives as non—indigenous australians, and the majority of them are young men. some are even younger. now, the government and other organisations are looking at ways that technology could help. here's nick. there's been heaps of funerals. it's just a vicious cycle. there was one year here . in community where we had about eight or nine suicides. and itjust became the norm. and i feel like they're - getting younger and younger and when you hear about them, you know, nine, ten years old, i

committing suicide — - i remember myself as nine or ten years old, i didn't. even know what that was. suicide is the leading cause of death among young australians. for indigenous people, the statistics are even more shocking with almost one in 20 taking their lives. cultural dislocation, personaltrauma, ongoing disadvantage and racism are just some contributing factors. my mother's kamilaroi and my father's madi madi tadi tadi latje latje. quite often as an aboriginal person, the cards are laid out for you. there is a lot of stigma. you start to believe that you are no good or it is cursed to be an aboriginal person or they say it's cursed to be black and i suppose i wanted to build visual dreaming for our younger generation to be proud of who they are and to be comfortable in their own skin and to be in a world where we're all equal.

leanne is the founder of visual dreaming, an online social and support network where users set goals and receive encouragement from community elders who, in turn, connect them with tradition. you want someone to ask if you are ok but you cannot actually get the words out of your mouth to say "i'm not ok". and so from discussion with young ones, we found that they would be more comfortable to communicate that through their phone. cheryl has been helping develop the app. like we've done for thousands of years, our elders have guided our young people so... but there's just been a bit of a disconnect, so i think it is really important that we can start in some way to bring that back together. a really good friend of mine, a younger one, she killed herself and that was heartbreaking, you know? a young woman in her 30s, in the prime of her life. there's been heaps of funerals.

it's a problem within our aboriginal communities and it's everybody's problem and we just need to identify it and the app is the ideal thing to start educating community. i worked in health for 28 years. these younger people have got no employment, there's no incentive to get out of bed of a morning or anything like that, you know? it is just a vicious cycle. bernard ended up in the emergency department three years ago after a suicide attempt. do you think if you had an app like this back then, it would have made a difference? if i had something like the app and the connections with elders and stuff that i have now, it would have been night and day difference. if someone else can see that you are struggling and they reach out to you and go "hey, i'm noticing you may be be having a tough time", it sort of can break through the darkness and then go "oh, someone actually does care". so what was your inspiration behind starting visual dreaming?

when i used to hear about suicide, i used to be quite sad for the families, until you go through it yourself — oh, my god! — and you see how much a... how much itjust takes, um... just changes your world. when dallas passed away, i had been through my own mental health journey and i really got scared that i was going to get sick again and ijust turned my pain into solution to be able to honour him. we've just got to try something. leanne isn't alone. mental health non—profit the black dog institute has trialling similar support services like ibobbly with encouraging early results. using the app you feel like you're having a yarn with a family member. the institute has also rolled out classroom software in schools that aims to screen for depression and anxiety in teenagers, allowing counsellors to intervene.

and in a research project, it's also trialling computer—assisted monitoring of cctv footage of a sydney suicide hot spot to ultimately prevent deaths. for every one suicide, there are over 20 attempts, so documenting these properly is crucial to understanding the issue. addiction research body turning point has been manually analysing ambulance records pertaining to suicide for years. now, with backing from google, it is developing an artificial intelligence to help workers like melissa. we would be coding their desire to hurt themselves in this state as a suicidal ideation. the a! has been trained on several million records and is able to filter out two—thirds of them before they reach anyone�*s inbox. at around 95% accurate, it is akin to a human annotator. our a! system is built on top of some very complex language models. so he's also had some alcohol,

which we will code, and as far as a mental health screen, we will code that he is agitated. the project has enlisted the expertise of monash university and is part of australia's first national self—harm and suicide monitoring system. as well as informing government policy with emerging trends in hot spots, it is hoped the data will lead to better targeted responses. a real concern — and we have to share this — is that the ai, in its operating, is going to maybe throw away some critical records. we have to tune what we call the �*confidence�* — the deep network has to know what it doesn't know. but — and i think we are seeing it in our data — they can actually improve on the humans. so it comes from the... down the road, researchers hope that ai will also be able to frontload difficult and limit intense records to reduce exposure and fatigue.

and with australia's suicide rates continuing to rise, this is an issue where innovation could prove truly vital. nick there with some sobering stories. and if you have been affected by anything you saw in his report, services that offer support can be found at bbc. co. uk/actionline. now, throughout the course of the pandemic, many more of us have been making digital doctor's appointments and it seems that this is a trend which is not going away. as restrictions ease, it should be getting easier to see a doctor in real life but video consultations, which went mainstream in the pandemic, are here to stay. the likes of push doctor and babylon have offered digital consultations through the uk's national health service for some time. but new specialist services are on the up too. this instant messaging app provides immediate reassurance

and guidance from experienced paediatricians. first—time mum hannah started using juno after having twins leo and xander. i thought there may be something going on that they'd caught between them, and ijust felt a bit isolated and i really wanted some real—time advice. sometimes, all you need is to be able to say "is this normal?" so we're trying to really filter the things that parents don't need to worry about and escalate the things that they do need to worry about and actually, instant messaging is a really good way of doing that. until now, juno has been free but it is due to become a subscription service, and its 12—hours—a—day support is set to become available 2a—7. there is definitely a chance that parents might overuse it and create more worry. there is also no guarantee that you will get the same consultant every time. but the check—up i did for my 8—year—old daughter's

eczema did go smoothly. i uploaded some photographs — you can upload video as well if you want to — and the consultation did provide me with a really useful treatment plan. the only issue was that if i was then to use the cream i needed, well, istill would need a prescription from a doctor to be able to get it. but this is notjust about healthcare for kids. lots of nhs apps now help with specific conditions, connecting you to experts and other patients going through the same illnesses. so googling to find resources and find information for your condition topic can be a wild west and it can be scary. the social network health unlocked has 700 condition—focused online communities, and they are all monitored by official health charities. so you are connecting with a group of thousands of other patients with a collective experience of, you know, many, many years.

the charity partners of the communities also provide that extra level of access to resources and knowledge and understanding. of course, there'll always be times when visiting a gp is best, but perhaps the worried hours spent searching symptoms online could soon become a thing of the past as expert answers could just be a few taps away, too. hello and welcome to the week in tech. it was the week that an ex—aide said former president donald trump could launch his own social media rival to twitter in the coming months. elon musk announced it is now possible to buy a tesla with a crypto currency bitcoin. and a new image showing a sharper black hole with a clearer view of surrounding magnet fields was released by the event horizon telescope team. it was also the week that facebook discovered that chinese hackers have been targeting uighurs living

outside the country. the social media network said the malicious activity was coming from a group called evil eye. malware was spread through fake websites mimicking popular turkish and uighur news pages. facebook is banned in china. slack released a feature which allowed direct messaging between people at different companies, but said it made a mistake and quickly removed the ability to send a message to people alongside e—mail invitations. concerns were raised that this could lead to harassment. nintendo and niantic, the company behind pokemon go, announced a long—term deal to collaborate on augmented reality apps. their first release will be a new pikmin mobile ar game, which is due later this year. and finally this week, researchers have revealed they've found a way to deliver drugs using microscopic robots into the brains of mice. published in the journal science robotics, microbots coated in e.coli tricked the immune system of the mice into attacking them. the microbots managed to cross the blood—brain barrier to deliver drugs targeted

at hard—to—reach tissues. these ultra close—up photos were taken on a smartphone with a microscope camera. this is the oppo find x3 pro, and the company says the micro camera can pick up things you cannot see with the naked eye. it is good enough to get right down into the individualfibres of my shirt here. to use it, you need to be about i—3mm away from whatever you are trying to take a picture of, which is very close, so i found it easiest to sort of lean the phone on the item that as i was trying to take a photo of, and then just rock it back and forwards to try to find the sweet spot so you could get everything in focus. obviously being that close to the object blocks out all the light, so the lens has a little ring light around it to illuminate the subject. now, obviously, the first thing i did when i got this was shove it in my eye and try to take an iris photo. this was the best i got. but then i went around the house, taking pictures

of literally anything i could find. 0ppo says this is offering 60 times magnification, so it's not close enough to see the individual cells in your skin or a plant, but it's still very cool. of course, now the novelty of running around my flat taking pictures of everything has worn off, i am left wondering how useful this is. i can think of some examples where it could be useful if i'm being generous — perhaps if you're trying to identify the stamp on some jewellery, or need a super close—up of a circuit board to check on your soldering. maybe there's someone who watching this will be like, "0h! "this is exactly what i've have been looking for on a smartphone! "that is perfect for taking photos of my butterfly "collection!" i don't know! 0ppo is promising two versions of android and at least two years of security updates for the phone. i remember when apple added a super—wide camera to the iphone and social media was flooded with very mundane super—wide shots of people's living rooms. i imagine if this catches on, we'd see lots of super close—up photos on social media,

at least for a few days, but it is always nice to see something new added to a smartphone. i'm sure people will get creative with something like this and maybe some people will even find it very useful, too. oh, you're employees? spencer and romana. well, head to the boardroom. dave will see you there. off we go. are we going backwards? today, we are popping into our new office to see what all the fuss is about and oh! here's the boss. can either of you help me to understand these lacklustre results ? run! that's the meanest chicken i've ever worked for. ok, this is corptopia — an interactive live play over zoom. actors take you through the story and every so often,

you get to use your facial expressions and hand gestures to play some games. now, before we started, we were asked to download special animated virtual backgrounds and also facial filters, which are run through the free app snap camera. this is a format it could work for escape rooms, it could work for crime drama, it could work for education, it could work for kids' shows. giving a stream of work to actors and musicians and production staff, where people could remotely work anywhere to put on these shows regularly. this nutty experience was started through creativexr, a 3—month acceleration program which helps artists to create new, immersive projects for the arts and culture scene. it's given funding and mentorship to several projects which begs the question are there any even more immersive experiences in the works? the answer? of course there are! oh, what the heck!

i'lljoin in. which is why later that day, i'm in my living room prancing about in my dancing pants. disco music plays. 0h, hello! chuckles. i'm experiencing dazzle, where i'm getting on down with some monochromatic movers. some are human, some are kind of a cross between the stay—puft marshmallow man and the gorignak rock creature from galaxy quest. i'd say it's a, you know, spectacular, dazzling immersive experience which combines elements of performance and costume and sort of theatricality and it's a really like a — the dazzle ball, the original was a huge party, and we're just trying to give you that kind of experience at home. 0oh. this is big psychedelica. talk of big psychedelics, that is big psychedelia, i assume! my goodness, you're enormous! there are four scenes to experience, each with a different feel. here i am accompanied by gianta ross and the supremes, and in this one — which feels i'm on the set of a broadway melody film from the �*30s — i get to cancan with some spirals and ballet dance with an enderman

from minecraft. we've been developing a sort of plug—in, and this enables us to capture in real—time performers in our motion capture studio and we can beam live mocap into the virtual spaces. so instead of seeing pre—recorded movement material, you are actually getting live performers. it is a crazy pastime for crazy times and it is an opportunity for artists and performers alike to try something new on a captive audience. a quick reminder, though — vr may be immersive but you are not really there, you are really here, so don't get too carried away. ijust punched the ceiling! 0w! ah, it's all very well that you can mark our your boundaries in vr in the room, but it doesn't account for ceiling height. no, it doesn't! and i put a hole in the plasterwork. don't tell anyone! anyway, let's move on! lara lewington, i know how you love a good superhero movie! i was in one — superman returns! this is true, actually!

i'd forgotten this! gather round, everyone. this is lara's best story ever! i don't know about that. i was presenting the weather on the monitor in the daily planet newsroom. show business! well, anyway, superman returned again injustice league four years ago, along with wonderwoman, batman and others, and the response from the audience was... ..a bit meh. the problem was as the crew finished filming, director zack snyder stepped away from the project for personal reasons. the movie was eventually completed, but with significant changes from snyder's original vision. the fans weren't happy, snyder wasn't happy and since then, those fans have been piling on the pressure for zack snyder's version of the film with a massive internet campaign. the hashtag #releasethesnydercut trended everywhere. and in perhaps the biggest piece of fan service since sonic the hedgehog's design was changed, the studio listened and snyder got

a chance to make his version. he was given an extra $75 million to complete the movie, and a large chunk of that went on special effects. and now, zack snyder'sjustice league has been released. but the question is how different is it to the original? this world will fall. like all the others. steppenwolf first showed up briefly. the current design, the zack snyder design in the post—credit scene on batman versus superman. so that was a nice thing for us that that, just, you know — we didn't have to do anything from scratch. it was just kind of a realisation of that design that already existed and making sure that was up to scratch and visual effects, you know, four years is an eternity so making sure since 2017 that it was, looked a—plus as far as 2020 technology goes, and then a nice thing from that was so we — we did work on the look of him and the way his metal looked in every, uh, and that — but i think the most interesting thing

was the character was such a different character in this movie that that has a knock—on effect of facial animation is different and then his body motion is different, he's got this aggressive, active armour and that — that turns into being more aggressive in his motion and being, like, really just leaning in to him being a different character. one year to the next, we changed the way that we work, we changed the tools that we use tojust keep on iterating and making the end result look better and better, so taking something from, like, three, four years ago and then updating it is actually a huge amount of work. the biggest — even in shots where we were supposed to just take steppenwolf and swap him out with a new one. first, nothing ever — is ever that easy in visual effects, you know? you pull on a thread of a shot and some, you know, there were a lot of shots we had to just redo completely and then a lot of shots where we just did the whole thing, you know, we had a lot of shots that were just brand new — brand new work that needed to be in the movie to tell that story correctly. zack's got the chance to go back and do his sort of original vision for it,

which is very big — i mean, the movie is nearly four hours long, right? so even scenes that we did have already done in 2017, like the themyscira attack, like the history lesson scene, those are massively expanded from what they were last time around. so there's shots that were completely new to us, there were shots that were taken to a certain stage in 2017 before they got — before they got put on hold, got put on ice, so actually just updating, filling all of that out is a huge amount of work. darkseid, he actually existed already as well. he was — he got to a reasonable point in 2017 before he was cut out and then replaced in those couple of things with steppenwolf. darkseid was — was already developed as a concept, as a character design, fairly early in the process four years ago so really, it was a case of us just, you know, bringing him up to scratch, as kevin was saying and so i guess, yeah, i think the iterations you see, like changing from trailer to the final version of the movie, still is essentially the same character, it'sjust we just had a bit more time to finish him off

rather than, you know, getting something out for the — for a trailer. it's actually more like six months rather than a year that we had to do — had to do the work, so it'is even a shorter amount of time. visual effects like being strapped to the front of a speeding train. both chuckle. and you can't — you can't — you can't reach the brakes and that's, that's — here comes the deadline. oh, every show, it's always like that. the time... ..is now. what's funny is this version is four hours long. now, i don't think you would get that in the cinema, but in a world of streaming where you can pause and go to the loo if you need to, it seems to be totally ok. or you could just split it over two nights — or is that not allowed with a movie? don't suggest that — the fans will eat you alive! for goodness' sake! anyway, that is it from our mere 24—minute programme for this week. which, of course, you should watch in one go! but if you're missing us

throughout the week, you can find us on social media on youtube, instagram, facebook and twitter at @bbcclick. thanks for watching and we'll see you soon. bye— bye. hello there. as the clocks spring forward, the temperatures temperatures are higher today than yesterday, but as we've seen already, a lot of cloud around, some areas seeing rain and drizzle. very wet in the cumbrian hills. the rain in wales should be easing a way through the afternoon, still rain continuing in northern ireland, and rain pushes north further into scotland. for england and wales, away from the north—west, it had

become dry and bright, may be sunshine towards the south—east, but a windy day wherever you are, particularly gusty winds over snowdonia and the pennines. temperatures a few degrees higher than yesterday, 15 or 16 celsius across lincolnshire and east anglia. this evening and overnight, more rain for a while across north wales and england, heavy over the hills stop the rain works into northern ireland and gets much wetter over the high ground in western areas of scotland. i mild, windy night for many areas. temperatures in the far north of scotland and the far south of england will be lowest under clear skies. wet weather over the next few days. that weather front doesn't move much. we are drawing in warmer airfrom the south doesn't move much. we are drawing in warmer air from the south or south—west, so temperatures will rise. the wetter weather should be moving away from northern ireland during monday and continuing terrain across many areas of scotland.

sunnier across england and wales. the winds these, and temperatures will be rising, even across eastern parts of northern ireland, north east scotland, 19 or 20 celsius. on tuesday, more rain in the north—west of scotland, more cloud in scotland and northern ireland, rain threatening to push back in here. sunny skies and lighter winds for england and wales, and it continues to warm up, temperatures widely 20 or 21 celsius, though it could hit 23 or 2a celsius in the south—east of england. we will be tapping into some tropical air by the end of the week ——, though by the end of the week ——, though by the end of the week we are drawing in arctic air. high pressure but northerly winds. it will be drier and colder by the end of the week.

good afternoon.

the government says it's "on track" to ease the lockdown in england and deliver on its vaccination targets.
