more wet weather gathers towards the us later, conditions that northern half of scotland with some frost and ice going into sunday morning. also a very cloudy day for england and wales, southern scotland, outbreaks of rain, developing quite widely, persistent across parts of southern scotland with kingswood through england and wales, dry start and it will turn wetter here. hello, this is bbc news. the headlines... more countries are urging their citizens to leave ukraine immediately. the us warns that russia could invade within days. the uk's ministerfor armed forces says the situation is escalating. this risk is escalating in a way thatis this risk is escalating in a way that is really quite terrifying, the largest concentration of on the european continent in 70 years.

the uk prime minister boris johnson receives a legal questionnaire from police investigating lockdown parties at downing street and whitehall. large numbers of people have defied an injunction against the protests in the canadian province of ontario. police have intercepted hundreds of vehicles trying to enter paris as part of a protest against france's coronavirus regulations. now on bbc news... it's time for click. this week... i need your close, and motorcycle. terminator is on zoom. robert de niro is here and he is talking italian, and just one... neto. —— cornetto.

can you hear me? hello? yes, can you hear me? are you muted? no, are you frozen? all i'm getting is me back. i can hear me. hang on... sorry! hang on! what have you done? have you dropped the phone? yeah, sorry. i can hear you now. hello? you've got me? yes, there we go. i'm more used to talking to you like this than in real life now. yeah, and i'm more used to talking to you while you're walking up and down wherever you're going. did you know that a fifth of all zoom meetings last year took place while people were walking and running? and i reckon that's all you. all me — just think of the steps! but many people have been doing it a bit more horizontally. don't know what you're talking about! but listen, love �*em or hate �*em, these platforms really have kept us together during these tough times, haven't they? and i don't think they're

going away any time soon. it is some way towards seeing people properly, but of course it is not the same, especially with strangers, it can be a bit awkward. yeah, you think of the people that have joined the click team in the last couple of years. i mean, for a long time, they didn't know how tall we were, they'd only ever seen us from the waist up, they couldn't enjoy our sparkling company in person! lara chuckles but this is something that the big tech companies are addressing, and some of them are coming up with completely new ways to collaborate online. here comes osman iqbal with more. hi! one thing is certain — the future of work is hybrid, which means we need to start working out how to best collaborate between the real and virtual worlds. for nearly two years now, i've seen my colleagues on this screen. but that's so 2021! because, brace yourself...for holograms. this is cisco's webex hologram. i just need to put on this headset and a life—sized cullenjennings, who's based over 4,000 miles away, will appear in my study. hello there, cullen!

hey, good to see you, oz! how are you doing? i'm very well! so, it turns out that it's pretty hard to record a 3d hologram for tv. those black pixels around cullen weren't actually there during the call. you can go grab it here too as well and move it around. just reach out and grab it. oh, get out! right, i've got it! i've got it! it's in my world! i don't know if this will ever came across on screen. in a way, i should be amazed by the hologram. see that — see that is cool, that is. but really, it was the passing of those cad objects — that's the thing — the thing that really blew me away. it's one of the areas that i think this will be used a lot is when you're trying to do these design reviews,

understand what people are building, see something, see a part that you were designing and those types of issues. we are betting on the hologram as being the next big kind of immersive medium of communication. just for ease, to kind of help you out, make it a bit smaller. there you go. oop. what the hologram does is exactly the opposite of what others are working on, for example, with avatars, but what you want to do is make it very photorealistic, you want to make it very lifelike. wasn't expecting that. there we go. oh, that's terrifying! and what the technology that we're talking about and that we're working on does is fundamentally levels the playing field, so that an individual in a village in bangladesh has the same opportunity as someone in the heart of central london. say hi to auntie! oh, my gosh! i love you! and with other concepts like google's project starlight in the works, holograms may be with us sooner than we think. but for most of us, video calls will remain as our standard way of communicating, so nvidia have been using artificial intelligence to solve those day—to—day problems. and staring at a screen during an endless meeting is definitely an issue, so gaze correction can make it appear like you're always looking straight ahead — something that seems minor,

but is actually really important. let's say you're in an interview and you want to sneakily read some notes. or even in a not—too—interesting meeting, you can just look like you're paying attention. right. left. another obsession sweeping through the tech world is the photorealistic avatar. this handsome chap can even track my expressions in real time. it freaks me out a bit,

but let's see what the team thinks. have you ever seen max headroom from the �*805? i have not. i recommend you check it out because you're basically him. but those rugged good looks may be intimidating for some. yeah, i'd rathertalk to real people, i think. call me traditional! and whilst not as sci—fi, one vitally important thing that nvidia claims they perfected is removing all the background noise when we're talking on calls, no matter where we are. siren wails i persuaded the company to let me try this in the wild. fire engines, ok!

anotherfire engine! bus engine hums: all right, richard, there is a big bus going by — can you hear me? 0k. n0 bus noise: all right, richard, there's a big bus going by — can you hear me? now i hear only you! you keep saying there's all this noise, but i don't hear it! the smart gallery creates individual video feeds... but the big question is — what's zoom doing? their focus is now on using hardware to create hybrid video—calling solutions, like installing cameras in meeting rooms to enable in—person and remote participants to interact. right, and that's our mindset at zoom. it's like, you know, you can come up with a marketing video that talks about the metaverse and says, you know, the world's all going to be holograms some day, but what are you doing for me today? chuckles i have real problems right now that i need help with

and ijust want to be able to talk to my colleagues around the world, whether i'm in the office or i'm at home. can you help me with that? you know, rewind back a few years ago and it was — mindset was "i have to be in that room to be effective" and remote people are second—class citizens, it's very challenging to break in, to be heard. it's...they mayjust forget about me up on the wall. and now, it's reversed again, so how do i maintain my individuality when i'm in a group meeting space? where am i? where are you? over here. - come with me. but maybe we don't need avatars and virtual reality to get back that real—life office feeling. it could be as simple as this retro—looking platform, gather, where you can wander around and bump into colleagues. so, in the right virtual setting, maybe the chaos of office life can live on. half of my team have disappeared. can i interrupt this meeting

to point out we've just found there's a rooftop bar? crosstalk hello! so, am not i allowed to lock the doors? cheers. i have to say the digital drinks _ cheers. i have to say the digital drinks do — cheers. i have to say the digital drinks do not taste as good as real-life — drinks do not taste as good as real—life ones. our producer has 'ust real—life ones. our producer has just randomly wandered around nearby — just randomly wandered around nearby. you'll migrate for all the amazing — nearby. you'll migrate for all the amazing gossip, not that there is any _ amazing gossip, not that there is any but— amazing gossip, not that there is any. but sometimes it is not about what _ any. but sometimes it is not about what you _ any. but sometimes it is not about what you say about how you say it, and that _ what you say about how you say it, and that is — what you say about how you say it, and that is girly true when it comes to actual, _ and that is girly true when it comes to actual, so — and that is girly true when it comes to actual, so i've been taking a took— to actual, so i've been taking a look at — to actual, so i've been taking a look at how cinema has been getting an upgrade.

this is the work of a uk start—up whose artificial intelligence can create lip sinking when dubbing and can be reshot in different languages without losing the nuance of an actor's performance. this 'ourney really started * actor's performance. this 'ourney really started me * actor's performance. this 'ourney really started me when _ actor's performance. this 'ourney really started me when i h actor's performance. this journey really started me when i worked l actor's performance. this journey l really started me when i worked on it called heist. i saw foreign dubbing and they spoke a bit of the language that it has been dubbed into and i was kind of horrified because the dialogue that we have spent years working on had changed, the performance was completely different. this in itself was fundamentally altered. the technology _ fundamentally altered. the technology digitally captures the acting, transforming it into a 3d computer model. after training the ai computer model. after training the alto computer model. after training the al to learn a specific actor's facial and vocal performances, a

modified version is created that can precisely match the facial expressions create an entirely different language. robert de niro is saying ooh later in the film but it is needed early or so they actuallyjust replace so it is him saying it. aside from allowing film—makers to translate their films accurate, there is also the benefit to the audience who, let's face it, can be put off by port dubbing. it's a miracle you get to find it at all. and with the streaming giant is bringing us more international content than ever, this new technology be timely. disney, netflix, amazon _ technology be timely. disney, netflix, amazon have - technology be timely. disney, netflix, amazon have all - technology be timely. disney, i netflix, amazon have all created global distribution businesses but

without global content and we've created a tool that gives global content. it created a tool that gives global content. , ., , content. it relies not 'ust in capturing * content. it relies not 'ust in capturing facial h content. it relies notjust in j capturing facial expressions content. it relies notjust in - capturing facial expressions are active at some eating the same lines in another language. combining both creates a 3d model for that specific actor, merging the face with the lip movements of the person dubbing it. we create a dataset for each of the performance and essentially that dataset contains their idiosyncratic style, looking like exactly like they would have performed positive performance. flawless ai they would have performed positive performance. flawless a! says we will be seeing the first films using the thinning year, so maybe soon we will be watching programmes with no idea what language they were originally made in full dubbing subtitles are a barrier to enjoy the content. you don't really have seen them understanding of other cultures

because we don't access the materials or the other stories, see them from that point of view so we have a very waldorf version of our view of the world. hello, it is your 92nd round—up. user data on us servers. the uk government said that adult websites will be legally required to verify the age of users after new internet safety laws and the $31 billion deal to acquire a uk chip firm is off. the company cited regulatory challenges. robot caterers showcase their agility at the beijing winter olympics. things are one of the dishes served to people on site and winter sports fans can use an app to

tune into a nagging of interactive action from home. drones have been helping to clean up the belgian port. this sleet uses machine learning to scan and detect floating waste so companion trollers can rubbish efficiently. and finally it gets everywhere, even science fiction book is. these are not great with them generated using the online database image net and machine learning tools trained on millions of. the british artist mindy project also used a natural language processing to generated titles so these techniques could blend in. i totally read that.

when i was 13, i was speaking to a woman online. i thought we were making friends. of the conversation progressed, she was asking lots of questions about myself, where i lived, what my hobbies were, who my friends were. and she told me i was pretty, i was beautiful, and she told me i could be a model. and a few hours into the conversation, she asked me to send a topless photo. i sent her a topless photo and everything changed at that point. she wasn't nice and complimentary any more, she was threatening and she said that if i did not send more photos, she was going to make sure everybody saw the photo that i had already sent. the next morning, a man came to my house, he sexually assaulted me in my bedroom and he took more photos of everything that happened. luckily, i didn't see him again after that day. six months down the line, the police contacted me and

said they had found the photos and my information on this man's computer. rhiannon now works for an organisation that supports children who have suffered sexual abuse via the internet and technology. it is one of a number of groups including barnardos and the nspcc which has advised adult backing a uk government campaign called no place to hide. the campaign encourages the british public to pressure companies like meta, formerly facebook, not to bring end—to—end encryption and services like facebook messenger and instagram direct messenger. formerly the ceo of a national cyber security centre, kieran martin thinks the government has got it wrong on this issue. encryption has been a source of tension between government and industry end encryption as a specific form were previous forms, there is no actual key, so

historically you can go to a provider of communication service, whether it is post—or high—end internet communication and you can say, we need access to this. with end—to—end encryption, the company can say there is no way of giving that access, so privacy campaigners and many in the tech industry will say this is a very good thing because that means that hackers, hostile foreign governments and so forth cannot get at these types of communications. meta owns whatsapp which already uses end—to—end encryption and had planned to use more features by default to facebook and instagram's messenger services however it has pushed back its encryption plans until 2023 after campaigning by child welfare groups. we now see more grooming offences on instagram than any other platform on the market so we have a situation where the highest risk platform, instagram, is now proposing to put on a blindfold and at a stroke

eliminated its ability to even see what is happening on site. to come to matters, the government campaign has provoked a uk information commissioner's offers say end—to—end encryption serves an important role... it strengthens children's online safety by not allowing criminals and users to send them harmful content or access the or location. we find ourselves in a position where two public bodies are on opposing side of the argument and the information commissioner bought my office and be national crime agency. the nca points to the case of a convicted six offender david wilson who posed as teenage girls online blackmailing 52 boys into sending him images of themselves. wilson was jailed for 25 years for his crimes. it was facebook asked wilson details to the nca. the

information commissioner was my office at one foot messages and already has sufficient investigative powers. there is a result of the information you receive tech companies that mean you're currently arresting a suspect one between the nca and uk policing and safeguarding 650 children, so the input we get from the tech companies through the material that is being found in internet is quite substantial. if we run a whole debate through the prism of one very important, very emotive idea than you're likely to get solutions which are not proportion and is not actually going to solve a real problem. do you think there is a solution to the street to keep child safety advocates? with

a solution to the street to keep child safety advocates? with images beint child safety advocates? with images being created. _ child safety advocates? with images being created, i _ child safety advocates? with images being created, i particularly - child safety advocates? with images being created, i particularly want. being created, i particularly want privacy. i do not want those images to be circulated around the internet. it is not privacy versus protecting shall we can have both of these things and we need to be moving to that. it has become a very binary debate, you're either on the privacy side or the child safety side. we need to start building bridges and moving closer together and working towards a solution that worked for both. that and working towards a solution that worked for both.— and working towards a solution that worked for both. that was rhiannon mcdonald and _ worked for both. that was rhiannon mcdonald and if _ worked for both. that was rhiannon mcdonald and if you _ worked for both. that was rhiannon mcdonald and if you are _ worked for both. that was rhiannon mcdonald and if you are concerned. mcdonald and if you are concerned about any of the issues raised at, bbc action line has links to organisations that can help. —— any issues raised in the report. now, earlier, we talked about how movies may be changing and it got me thinking, do you know what makes watching any movie more enjoyable! ice cream. it is no surprise it is

nick who volunteered for this and he has volunteered to see about freezing your own stuff at home. ok, admittedly, this is a pretty sweet gig — see what i did there? the average american gobbles over 20 litres of ice cream per year, compared to the paltry seven for us brits. so i've come to the suburbs of boston to set the record straight. i'm actually here to see a new type of appliance reminiscent of those coffee pod machines advertised by george clooney. wouldn't change a thing. now, the way this works is that each pod has its own unique qr code, and when i put it into the machine, a camera scans it and tells the machine what the product is — if it's a cocktail, a coffee or an ice cream — how long it should freeze it for, and to what consistency. we're all set up for all kinds of stuff within the same space. andrea has invited me to the test kitchen to conjure up

my very own flavour. 0h... it's good. yeah? yeah. i mean... what would you do to make it better? you can't improve this. you can't improve it? this is going straight to the shops. we're done. the ones that have been a struggle or challenge has been the smoothies, because we want them to be healthy. we're adding nutraceuticals, which are like plant — food ingredients that have benefit — nutritional benefit. creating a combination that tastes good, that's healthy, that's shelf—stable is a challenge. cold snap aims to overhaul the frozen treat industry from how food's made, to how it's stored, to how it's shovelled down my throat. the way ice cream is made today, it's frozen in the factory, it's kept frozen in the grocery store, you rush it home, you keep it frozen in your freezer. all the while, you're putting energy and cost into that pint of ice cream before you consume it. there's a lot of carbon

emissions associated with that that's going up into the atmosphere. our technology, with cold snap, we just freeze it when we need it, and so, we think we can reduce the carbon emissions associated with making ice cream by, like, anywhere from 50% to 75%. it could mean less waste, but will come with a hefty price tag of around $2,000 — or £1,500 — but is initially aimed at the commercial sector. cheers. everything has been designed from scratch, right down to the unique caps on the pods. we wanted absolutely no ice cream touching the machine. we wouldn't be able to use a regular soda can style, so we developed our own top. the aluminium cans are important because they can be recycled, but they also allow for good heat transfer, so the liquid inside can be chilled quickly on demand. by being able to churn the ice cream and draw air into the can as it's freezing, you can actually create the ice cream. at the risk of stating the obvious, the technology actually affects the taste of the ice cream. we're intentionally making the ice crystals smaller than anything you can buy on the market today. so it's — in addition to being 14% buttermilk fat, we control the ice crystal size, and you essentially get a very dense, thick, creamy dessert. i guess you could say the proof is in the...pudding?

but is this one machine too far in the age of convenience? do we really need this? then again, do we really need ice cream and frozen cocktails? ohhh, it's been a tough day. oh, it's enough to make you feel hungry, isn't it? ohhh. and, conveniently, we can eat something now, because that's it for the shortcut. and don't forget you can check us out on social media any time you fancy. we live on youtube, facebook, instagram and twitter — @bbcclick. thanks for watching. and we'll see you soon. bye— bye.

hello. while for some of you it will be a rather soggy saturday afternoon, for others they try and write. in part east anglia and the channel islands, hazy sunshine between the showers and west of scotland and northern ireland but for south—east on the northern england to wales and the south, the rain becomes heavy for a time increases in towards the midlands, searching towards the afternoon. winds quite blustery, touch and go, and temperatures a bit milder than yesterday. it will ease through some of you. clear as conditions in the northern half of scotland risking some frost and ice as we go through sunday morning but sunday will be a very cloudy day for england, wales, much of northern ireland, southern scotland, too, without breaks of rain developing widely and more persistent across parts of southern scotland through sunday losing its way through england and wales with a dry start, turning wetter year with driest and brightest of all the far north of scotland. you later. —— see

you later.

great starter but sometimes the speed just drops away as we can see there, 17th good afternoon. russia could invade ukraine at any time, the white house has warned. many nations, including the uk and the us, have urged their citizens to get out of the country. this morning, the government said they will not be able to rescue any british citizens left in ukraine if russia does attack. paul adams has been talking with some of those affected.

how
