many gamers back — way back. in the same way as you hear a song on the radio to remind of a time in your life maybe you are aware of what you are doing. when you hear a piece of music for a videogame it takes you right back to that point in your life that you are out when you're playing game. maybe who you're playing game. maybe who you are playing it with. i’m you're playing game. maybe who you are playing it with.— you are playing it with. i'm in my sos- _ you are playing it with. i'm in my sos- if — you are playing it with. i'm in my sos- if i _ you are playing it with. i'm in my 30s. if i hear _ you are playing it with. i'm in my 30s. if i hear sonic - you are playing it with. i'm in my 30s. if i hear sonic i - my 305. if i hear sonic i immediately get put 5traight immediately get put straight into that christmas with me and my two— into that christmas with me and my two sisters got our first console _ my two sisters got our first console-— my two sisters got our first console. robert eames is a conductor— console. robert eames is a conductor and _ console. robert eames is a conductor and arranger - console. robert eames is a| conductor and arranger that console. robert eames is a - conductor and arranger that has worked on film scores and who has conducted previous proms based on experimental electronic music and sci—fi music. he takes a journey through the 80s, pokemon, all the way up to battlefield 2042. in order to recreate the sounds and feelings of these games, some of which are merged

right now. more music for you now and did you know that more than 5 million vinyl records were sold in the uk last year? sales are now at their highest for 30 years. these records are made from pvc, polyvinyl chloride, the material that environmental campaign groups and some music lovers would like to see less of in the world, not more. forsome like to see less of in the world, not more. for some music lovers, this experience is one of the best they can get. as a record collector and someone who cares about the environment, i am worried about how much plastic is being used. i've come to amsterdam to see how vinyl is made. and perhaps ljy how vinyl is made. and perhaps by a few records along the way.

amsterdam is home to one of the largest final presses in the world with millions being made here each year. the process to make one of these albums has been the same for at least 40 years. first the master disc is made of metal and converted into a stamper. then pvc pellets are loaded into the machine, melted, and pressed into the mould. but according to greenpeace, pvc is the most environmentally damaging of all the plastics. do you think about the environmental impact? a couple of years ago, the news it was that they found a plastic in the oceans, so the first thing of course that happens is you get a call, hey, can you press with the plastic from the ocean? it is or is difficult to explain to some people that we can use whatever to make things greener, while you want to keep the quality of the product as it is now. and

thatis the product as it is now. and that is impossible. impossible? welcome at _ that is impossible. impossible? welcome at one _ that is impossible. impossible? welcome at one company - that is impossible. impossible? welcome at one company not i that is impossible. impossible? | welcome at one company not far away in eindhoven agrees. —— disagrees. i away in eindhoven agrees. -- disagrees-— disagrees. i am from green vin l disagrees. i am from green vinyl records. _ disagrees. i am from green vinyl records. they - disagrees. i am from green vinyl records. they put - vinyl records. they put everything _ vinyl records. they put everything into - vinyl records. they put l everything into patenting vinyl records. they put - everything into patenting and developing a new press. taste everything into patenting and developing a new press. we have already succeeded _ developing a new press. we have already succeeded in _ developing a new press. we have already succeeded in making - already succeeded in making environmentally friendly vinyl records. we use no pvc, using 90% less energy. we don't have the label with the paper. it is a printed label. the labelwith the paper. it is a printed label.— a printed label. this is what is happening _ a printed label. this is what is happening now. - a printed label. this is what is happening now. i - a printed label. this is what is happening now. i am - a printed label. this is what. is happening now. i am moving the unit into _ is happening now. i am moving the unit into position _ is happening now. i am moving the unit into position so - is happening now. i am moving the unit into position so we - the unit into position so we can start injecting the plastic against my negatives. and every 20 seconds there is a record coming out. 20 seconds there is a record coming out-— coming out. this is so cool. after the — coming out. this is so cool.

all the practice didn't you put the device on around your neck like this, connect to the smartphone app, put these in and it is time to relax for ten, 20 or 30 minutes. you can choose the soothing music you listen to while the device uses what is called infra sound resonance which is carried via bone conduction technology and aims to train the vagus nerve. while there is no medical validation for sensate it is claimed that the device, which is based on science will, over time, strengthen that nerve and in doing so improve resilience to stress. it does provide a rather comforting harm which i think does feel relaxing so i may not fellow been on holiday after using it but possibly this is how you feel after meditation. now time to spend some energy. this is a smart

jump some energy. this is a smart jump boat that connects to your mobile phone so you can track your skipping for a bit of cardio anywhere at any time. the rope connects via bluetooth and is meant to be tracking skip time, a number of skips, calories burned and tangles. for me, more of the latter. another minute is up! ok. let's start again. that was a little bit rubbish. i'm going to try freejump. less pressure. free jump. less pressure. caught freejump. less pressure. caught a fewjumps on camera. once you get into it it is all right although feel like i have done a hard workout, about 20 jumps only and if you are already good at skipping, if you can'tjump over the rope thatis if you can'tjump over the rope that is a problem. even though it has a nice system of making it has a nice system of making it the right length and it

feels like a decent rope. i just need to be swapped in for someone else. definitely enough of that. this pair of devices are called j—lo frames and you attach them to the side of a pair of sunglasses or regular glasses to turn them into audio glasses to turn them into audio glasses and they are a lot cheaper than buying the glasses that do the job. they have eight hour battery life and they also have a microphone speakerjust here so you can talk to anybody and listen and you can even summon a virtual assistant. they feel a little clumsy to wear but you get used to it soon enough and the sound quality is pretty decent. it is just what i really choose wearing these over a pair of when it comes to it? and, finally, to choose what to listen to on a fine summer's day. lyndhurst is an app that takes non—fiction books and breaks them down into 15 minute worth of content would you can either read or listen to. each

chapter, or blink as it is called, sums up a key message from the book and, yes, i know this concept is not for everyone. all for all the time. of course there are times when you want to listen to or read the whole book and i am worried that sometimes it does stop me but generally this gives you an opportunity to learn about subjects that you may not want to invest so much time in. so there you have it. maybe all there you have it. maybe all the relaxation, entertainment and activity you could possibly want without needing to go anywhere. or... maybe not. basically you just want to play with some toys?— basically you just want to play with some toys? yes. but i only aet with some toys? yes. but i only net to with some toys? yes. but i only get to do _ with some toys? yes. but i only get to do it _ with some toys? yes. but i only get to do it twice _ with some toys? yes. but i only get to do it twice a _ with some toys? yes. but i only get to do it twice a year. - with some toys? yes. but i only get to do it twice a year. at i get to do it twice a year. at ces in the summer. i should have practised the skipping more off—camera because it was a little clumsy. but more off-camera because it was a little clumsy.— a little clumsy. but that was the best bit. _ a little clumsy. but that was the best bit. listen, - a little clumsy. but that was the best bit. listen, that i a little clumsy. but that was the best bit. listen, that is| the best bit. listen, that is it from us. thank you for watching and we will see you

soon. hello. well, let's see what the weather's got in store for us this weekend. and as you might expect, a lot of warm sunshine, but a bit of rain in the forecast, too. not where we really need it, though — in fact, if we have a look at the rainfall accumulation over the next five days, most of it will fall across western parts of scotland, just dribs and drabs in the northwest of england, and no rain at all for many parts of wales and england further south. and, in fact, the longer—term outlook indicates that the next ten days across southern parts of england will probably be dry, possibly the next two weeks, which is farfrom ideal. ok, let's have a look at the short term, then — so here's the cloud and the rain

heading towards western parts of scotland. but for england and wales, the early hours are clear. a bit of a nip in the airfirst thing in the morning, temperatures will range from around 8—12 celsius in towns and cities, and in rural spots, it'll probably be a little cooler than that. now, the first half of the day may be quite overcast across more northern areas, but come the afternoon, the sun should poke through the clouds. but showers may continue in the north of scotland all day long. here, 15 celsius, 19 for newcastle, 22 for birmingham, and around the mid—20s expected in london and the south—east. that was saturday — this is sunday, and more of the same in scotland, thicker cloud, occasionally some rain, but really not an awful lot. elsewhere across the country, it is looking dry and turning warmer. temperatures perhaps in the mid—20s pushing into the peak district and yorkshire, around 27 expected in london. now high pressure will build across the uk and much of western and central europe as we head into next week — and that will also open up the doorway for hot air to stream in from the near continent, all the way from spain, france,

and then into the uk. so let's have a look at the outlook, then — london, birmingham, cardiff, and manchester, very warm if not hot. in fact, temperatures into the 30s, possibly even the mid—30s by the end of the week across some southern parts of the uk. further north, also warming up, but it'll be far more comfortable, and here always, perhaps a little more cloud. that's it from me, have a good weekend.
