this week: could ai spot the next best sporting talent? when it's easy it, that is. we find something fishy... and i get my hands and hips on some gadgets forfun in the hands and hips on some gadgets for fun in the sun. hello and welcome to click. this week, we have a summer themed specialfor you, themed special for you, although the weather isn't great, i'm hoping the rain is going to hold off. but what a summer of sport it has been. england may not have been able to bring it back home this

year, but this weekend is the start of the premier league season, and clubs are gearing up season, and clubs are gearing up to welcome the fans back to stadiums. but how these clubs discover talent could be about to change. instead of sending scouts to identify young football stars, and then after a trial, picking the best ones, artificial intelligence is helping take on the job, as omar mehtab has been finding out. some of the world's biggest football talents are cherry picked from a young age. as scouts scour the pictures to find the best of the best. well, they missed me. i have beenin well, they missed me. i have been in love with the beautiful game all my life. granted, i wasn't playing many sunday league matches, however in order to get spotted, what if you don't need to anymore? there is a new app that has p°pped there is a new app that has normed up, there is a new app that has

popped up, called there is a new app that has p0pped up, called ai there is a new app that has popped up, called ai scout, and it is all in the name. artificial intelligence is being used to identify and analyse videos sent in by whoever, wherever. it can be at your local fibre side, whoever, wherever. it can be at your localfibre side, or whoever, wherever. it can be at your local fibre side, or even just in your back garden. and you don't have to be a pro. the way it works is you follow the instructions given on the app. using objects such as balls or cones as markers for the ai using objects such as balls or cones as markers for the al to pick up. once you complete an exercise, you uploaded to the for processing.— for processing. anything they do with the — for processing. anything they do with the ball, _ for processing. anything they do with the ball, with - for processing. anything they do with the ball, with their i do with the ball, with their body, gets tracked. all the movements go into a system that has been built to identify what good football movement looks like an and that is referenced against benchmark data, academy data from clubs around the world. the players to be able to generate the same data without having to be on the right team or go to the right school lobby on the right country. we can actually generate that data and get enough of indication that someone can play football and they are worth a further look. we don't replace the scouts but we revolutionise their workflow.— we revolutionise their workflow. ., , ., , , ,

finding out more. since 2002 this studio has been pushing the boundaries of art installation by using a high—tech mixed media palette to create interact spaces. and for this year's olympics and paralympics in tokyo, the team has created an artwork inspired ijy has created an artwork inspired by traditionaljapanese zen gardens. one of the great things about this artwork is that it things about this artwork is thatitis things about this artwork is that it is designed to be experienced in person and in the round. but it is not until you get this up close and personal that you really get a sense of the scale. the project, called constant project, called co nsta nt gardeners, project, called constant gardeners, is a result of an open competition with the arts council tokyo and the tokyo metropolitan government. their idea was selected out of 21100 other entrants, and is paying homage to the athletes by representing their performances.- representing their performances. representing their erformances. ., performances. so we are looking at foota . e performances. so we are looking

in the creative realm two. hello and welcome to the week in tech. it was the week that samsung unveiled their new foldable smart phones. facebook took action to shut down an anti— vaccine influenza campaign. and a student prove that twitter�*s algorithm was biased towards lighter, slimmer and youngerfaces. the biased towards lighter, slimmer and younger faces. the company paid them $3500 reward as part of their algorithmic bug bounty. also this week we saw one of the biggest crypto thefts in history. a cryptocurrency lost over $600 million in one of the sector's biggest ever cyber heists. apple faced criticism after introducing an update which scans iphone pictures before they are uploaded to icloud. it was introduced as a tool which can flag cases of child sexual

abuse, but critics say it could be a privacy risk and a security back door. and finally, the search for life beyond earth continues. nasa announced its goals and objectives for mission dragonfly which will send a robotic rotorcraft to saturn's largest moon in 2027. it will be the first time a spacecraft explores the surface of titan which is the only moon in our solar system that could potentially harbour life. the truth is out there. as the united arab emirates goes from the uk's red to amber list this week, some seeking brits can holiday abroad that without having to quarantine upon their return. attractions like the lost chambers aquarium at dubai's atlantis palm is said to welcome tourists with a smart new feature. that's a lot

of fish. the sea life centre has designed a web app to help guests identify species within its 6500 strong 65,000 strong marine life population. so you put up on your web browser and you press scan fish. oh, big stingray. takes a snap and pulls up information about that fish. to help distinguish dolphins from dogfish, the artificially intelligent app uses image recognition technology which should get smarter with time. the technology which should get smarter with time.— smarter with time. the hard work is mapping _ smarter with time. the hard work is mapping those - smarter with time. the hard i work is mapping those species. so that is the process we are going through now, and testing, to make sure that when you focus on that particular species, that fish, it is the right information.- species, that fish, it is the right information. the ocean tails platform _ right information. the ocean tails platform then - right information. the ocean tails platform then tells - right information. the ocean tails platform then tells you | tails platform then tells you things like where the animal can be found in the wild, its endangered status, and about different conservation projects in the works. but do we all

want to be glued to our phones while at a real—life aquarium? this app really is about educating our guests on the welfare of species or mammals. atlantis aims to incorporate this new tech into its existing main app for resort —goers which provides targeted services and crucially encourages them to open their wallets. back by the tanks, i have decided to go alone and rely on my own as opposed to artificial intelligence. the majestic sea lion! ah, the majestic sea lion. after the year we have had, i think it is after the year we have had, i think it is time after the year we have had, i think it is time for after the year we have had, i think it is time for a after the year we have had, i think it is time for a bit after the year we have had, i think it is time for a bit of fun in the sun. the weather may be a little bit changeable but you get the idea. i have got my hands on a whole heap of gadgets that i am hoping i going to make me a little bit cooler. first up, this. the

motus orbit plus. and yes, it is like a smart hula hoop. the good thing about this as it doesn't drop like a regular full of her. you make it the right size to fit you, and it will only lend on your hips and you can keep going and going. you really do need to stop to see how many times it has gone round, which does feel counter—productive. but the weighted caller hoop concept itself was better than i expected, although i'm sure the novelty would have worn off after not long. ow, surely that is enough. it does file cardio after a while, but in the house i was worried about it hitting anything around me or a small child. but out here it certainly feels like exercise. i'm a bit hot after that! but luckily at the moment there is a trend for next fans. this is

the yoshfan. you can choose how hide you want the van to go, or there are temperature sensors inside it so you it can determine the right temperature. my head doesn't get stuck in it, but if i move my hair out of the way, i could probably fill it a bit more. i suppose it looks like a pair of headphones around your neck. but still, the concept itself does feel a little bit over the top to me, or maybe i wasn't born to be this call. and rather conveniently the son has just come out for my next item. i have shown you before on the programme audio sunglasses where you can listen to music or talk on the phone via your glasses. this pair has a bit of difference, though. this prototype is called dusk and it is a pair of smart transition lens glasses so you can change

the colour of the lenses according to what you are up to. maybe you are reading, maybe you are driving, and maybe you are driving, and maybe the sunlight around you is changing. at the moment you can do it by a button on the side, but eventually they will connect to a nap and you will be able to do it on there. they just won't stand the right position. but i guess they are just a prototype. if you wonder what this is, this is my caller box. as you can see, it has speakers i can connect that to my phone to play a little bit of music or maybe an old episode of click. you need to open this to turn it on, which is a bit difficult. this me. there we go. easy. turn it on, i cannot connect it to my phone's bluetooth and it is connected. recognise that? lovely music. the sunnylife

caller box charges via usb and can also play radio or can connect to your devices via a lead or bluetooth to provide sound. omar is calling. there is no motor —— microphone though. i is no motor -- microphone though-— though. i am talking to a bride! though. i am talking to a bridge! it _ though. i am talking to a bridge! it is _ though. i am talking to a bridge! it is always - though. i am talking to a | bridge! it is always lovely though. i am talking to a i bridge! it is always lovely to hear from — bridge! it is always lovely to hear from omar. _ bridge! it is always lovely to hear from omar. if - bridge! it is always lovely to hear from omar. if you - bridge! it is always lovely to | hear from omar. if you want bridge! it is always lovely to i hear from omar. if you want to catch all that summer fun on camera, here i have the latest take on the polaroid. —— fridge. i remember how much my dad loved his polaroid camera when i was a little girl. now it is much, much smaller, it is rechargeable, and of course it has a selfy mode. the brands latest release is the polaroid go. it can do double exposure shots and has a timer. how did it go? it looks like a

polaroid. oh, the nostalgia. but we're so used to doing pictures on our phones now that if you got your eyes shut, it is a bad picture, you just take more. and each one of ez print is pretty expensive, so you sort of want to get every picture right. yes, over £1 a photo. let's go for the selfy. so maybe you want to capture as much as you can each and every time, whatever you're getting up time, whatever you're getting up to summer. and that you have it. your summer gadgets are sorted. but maybe on a rainy day you'd like to be taking a trip to the cinema. well, a new movie that focuses on characters from gaming that obviously you can't actually play them, because their characters a movie — is hoping to be a box office success. much as i have been talking to the producer and star ryan reynolds. i

when i seen its possible to be very creative when you're doing a videogame adaptation, but you are never completely unshackled. you are always beholden to the law and expectations of the game. so with free guy i got to create an original film with free guy i got to create an originalfilm and i got to create the rules of the game within the film. so that gave me maximum freedom, which i have to say was liberating and something i wouldn't have had if i were making a more literal adaptation of a videogame. audiences will be able to determine for themselves if free guy takes movie and videogames mash ups to the next level when the film hits cinemas. great stuff. and that's all we have time for. as ever, you can keep up with the team on social media on youtube, facebook, twitter, and

instagram. but we may be quiet on there because we are planning on taking a couple of weeks for the summer. we will leave you with some repeats but in september normal service will be resumed. enjoy your summer and will be back then. goodbye. hello there. it's going to be one of those weekends where we get a bit of sunshine and a bit of rain, as well. it looks like saturday will be a much drier day in scotland, where we've had a lot of shower clouds on friday. we'll see more cloud coming in from the south—west, as well — and that is due to this area of low pressure that'll just hang around, really, through the weekend. it means as we start the weekend, we've got quite muggy air across the south of england, south wales, 15 celsius here. it's cooler air that we've got in scotland with those showers in the north, 10—11 celsius.

the showers in scotland do to become fewer, mind you. a bit of a dull, misty, damp start across parts of wales and the south—west of england. and this cloud gradually working its way northwards. more in the way of sunshine across scotland as those stars become fewer, but the cloud will be increasing in northern ireland and northern england, bringing a bit of rain and drizzle especially later on in the day. could be a bit damp still across the north of wales, even across to the north midlands into east anglia. but to the south of here, we should get some sunshine through, especially in the southeast of england. temperatures reaching a pleasant 23 celsius, and we could make 19 or 20 in the sunshine in the central belt of scotland. now, that area of low pressure moves slowly into the uk. a few weather fronts on the scene — all pretty weak, mind you. this one here will bring more in the way of showers, wetter weather into the north and northeast of scotland. could be some rain first thing on sunday in southern scotland and northern ireland, moving its way southwards into northern england.

find it brightening up, as well, across southern scotland and northern ireland. but a few more showers and more cloud coming into wales and the south—west. head further east towards the east anglia and the east, again, the best of the sunshine. for many, temperatures aren't changing much, but it's getting colder in northern scotland. southern europe, though, sees extreme heat through this weekend, could see temperates hitting. could see temperates hitting 48 celsius. by contrast, it's a cooler northeasterly breeze heading our way for the start of the new week. probably won't be much rain — overnight rain clears away from southern parts of england, we're left with a few showers. probably quite a bit of cloud streaming our way, as well, and that colder air that we're seeing in scotland is pushing its way southwards across the uk. so top temperature 20—21 celsius in hampshire. as we head further into next week, it's fairly quiet, settled a few showers. a lot of cloud, mind you, and it's not looking particularly warm for this time of year.

welcome to bbc news, i'm lewis vaughanjones. our top stories: crisis in afghanistan. taliban militants capture the country's second largest city and fears are mounting that the capital kabul, may be under threat. for a majority of the population, they are waiting to see how things will unfold, with a mixture of fear, anger and resignation. president biden is still insisting that pulling us forces out of the country was the right decision, but is facing growing criticism. when the decision was announced months ago, i said ifeared we would come to regret this decision, and we already are. this again is a nightmare. in the uk, a vigil has been held to remember the victims

of thursday's mass shooting — the country's worst since 2010.
