joining us from new york, thank you. this is bbc news, the headlines: ukraine's president zelensky has told the bbc that he echoes president biden�*s warning that any use of nuclear weapons would lead to armageddon. he's urged russians to stand up against the war. it comes as ukrainian troops continue making steady progress in reclaiming land occupied by russian forces. this year's nobel peace prize has been split three ways — to recognise human rights work in belarus, russia and ukraine. it's been awarded to the jailed belarusian activist — ales bialiatski — the banned russian rights group — memorial — and the ukrainian centre for civil liberties.

the king of thailand has visited survivors of a knife and gun attack in which 36 people were killed on thursday. in a rare interaction with the public — the king met the victims being treated at a hospital in the north—eastern town of nong bua lamphu. now on bbc news it's time for click. this week, the race to preserve ukraine's heritage and culture by sd scanning it's buildings. phone too big? display too small? spencer has been looking at the latest plexi screens that are coming around the bend. ., . ., �*

yesterday in my native kharkiv, there were schelling's and today as well, there were schelling is of a central area of the city and as far as they know, some historical monuments and buildings have been damaged. and of course, it is also very important to preserve the heritage and also to tell the heritage and also to tell the next generation is about that. now eugene's company is helping to get high—powered scanners and training to the right people so they can create these incredibly detailed sd scans. they hope it can be used at a later date to create exact replicas or in different ways in museums to display the history that has been lost in its physical sense. some of the technology they are using is already in use here at the british museum in london stopping the user to scan object allowing detailed replicas to be made or to help the experts to study them

buildings and generate huge amounts of data, but how much value does that actually hold? i think the key is how the data is used in the future. so digital preservation is i suppose the long—term challenge, but all bits of information are useful because culture is part of our dna, culture is part of our dna, culture is part of our dna, culture is part of what makes us human. it is precious but fragile and at times of conflict it is our duty to preserve and safeguard and promote it as far as we can. after so many months of fighting, the damage in ukraine is vast. it could be years before the true value of these scans and the information they can unlock is really known. one

of the brilliant things about technology has been how itjust keeps on shrinking. we can squeeze more and more power into a smaller and smaller space, and that is why you now have the power of a supercomputer in your pocket. but there is one thing that limits just how small these things can get. the screen. in theory, your mobile device could keep on shrinking on shrinking but the problem is the screen that is attached to it would have to keep on shrinking too. imagine the possibilities if your device could shrink to whatever size and shape you wanted and the screen could just roll out to be whatever size you needed. this is a rollout e—ink display from 2007, not 1975 as the leatherjacket might from 2007, not 1975 as the leather jacket might suggest.

but the advent of a led technology that has allowed bright multicoloured flexible screens. they have ranged from rollout springs from lg that remind me a bit too much of a garage door to some really promising hype within demos from a chinese company. but it has just taken longer than hoped to get around that final bend popular the problem is that the same properties that make them flexible are also the same properties that make them very easy to damage and so if you were to pull apart a flexible display like you see inside somebody smart phones or laptops, the actual layer that is doing the lighting up is very thin, you could perhaps even wrapped around a cocktail stick, it is so thin. but even wrapped around a cocktail stick, it is so thin.— stick, it is so thin. but that on its own _ stick, it is so thin. but that on its own is _ stick, it is so thin. but that on its own is not _ stick, it is so thin. but that on its own is not going - stick, it is so thin. but that on its own is not going to l on its own is not going to survive any kind of real—world environment. we survive any kind of real-world environment.— environment. we saw a permanently _ environment. we saw a permanently curved - environment. we saw a - permanently curved screen from samsung that you could twist but not bend and a screen from

lg that you could bend or flatten if you decided you didn't like it. coming later this year is the zenbook. it is a huge 17 inch touchscreen oh lead windows computer with separate keyboard but by night it's a 12 one half inch laptop. it comes with a shortcut that lets you pen different windows to different halves or wanderings of the display and it certainly is eye catching, although i can see myself still using that separate keyboard. i've been watching flexible screen technology unfold the more than a decade now and they get it, get a convenient of getting to have a big screen when you want to big screen and a smaller screen when you want a smaller screen when you want a smaller screen when you want a small one but right now it is just that bit in the middle that still worries me stopping at the touch on that middle head arejust about at the touch on that middle head are just about hit and miss and the idea of that big fold still worries me. don't

worry spencer, look, the henge as hard as nails, bendy as a banana, i don't know. they are keen to make the point that the folds are robust but the truth is, they are a point of weakness. phone manufacturers certainly are looking for anything that will help them stand out from the crowd. both huawei and doensen's products bends to a double width screen, albeit in opposite directions but they allow the phone to become a tablet. both companies also have new versions of the flip form but there are just so many opportunities to damage the inward folding screens and the inward folding screens and the outward folding screens. i don't think we know exactly yet what form factor affect the

display best works in stopping maybe it is a rollerball phone or a bendy phone but there is not enough experience they get with real—world people using these devices to really understand what form factor makes. ., ., ., ., makes. none of them are ideal, ou makes. none of them are ideal, you either— makes. none of them are ideal, you either get — makes. none of them are ideal, you either get a _ makes. none of them are ideal, you either get a smaller- makes. none of them are ideal, you either get a smaller device l you either get a smaller device for a bigger screen but you don't get both and you certainly don't get that fantasy of a screen that can be whatever you want to be. ok, time for a look at this week's tech news now. it is on, it is off and it's on again. elon musk changed his mind again and said he will buy twitter after all. he has tweeted that as part of a mysterious plan to create x, a so—called everything at that could incorporate a lot of services incorporate a lot of services in one, but like we chat in china may be. a search engine free of ads and tracking that hopes to take on google is now

music. testing the connection methods of solar cell to the textile. other projects are more about the emotional, for example a denim jacket which gives you the sense of a stroke on your back. do you want to try it on? this is four small vibration motors that give you the feeling of a gentle touch, basically. we started exploring solar technology in textile backin solar technology in textile back in 201s with the aim to bring solar technology closer to our bodies.— bring solar technology closer to our bodies. what i like when this sample _ to our bodies. what i like when this sample is _ to our bodies. what i like when this sample is it _ to our bodies. what i like when this sample is it gives - to our bodies. what i like when this sample is it gives you - this sample is it gives you such— this sample is it gives you such an _ this sample is it gives you such an immediate visual feedback when you put your hands — feedback when you put your hands on it.— hands on it. this was pioneering _ hands on it. this was pioneering at - hands on it. this was pioneering at the - hands on it. this was. pioneering at the time hands on it. this was - pioneering at the time because smartphones were rising, everyone was struggling with charging their phones, especially when they are out and about, and this t—shirt could actually solve that issue. you can play with texture, with colour, with translucency by weeding, and also this very early one with a very different filament as

doesn't match up with traditional silicon panels, it has a much more holistic and aesthetic objective and generate much more social and cultural acceptance. generate much more social and culturalacceptance. if generate much more social and cultural acceptance. if we were to retrofit an existing building with this textile as a facade, we would create enough energy to power its lighting over the course of a whole year. ten years ago intelligent textiles were may be nice to have, but today with all the challenges of sustainability and emotional well being, textiles are really the solution we need. that was pauline with _ solution we need. that was pauline with some - solution we need. that was pauline with some smart i pauline with some smart clothes, some very smart clothes. clothes, some very smart clothes-— clothes, some very smart clothes. , ~ ., ., clothes. yes. i know how bored ou aet clothes. yes. i know how bored you get when — clothes. yes. i know how bored you get when you _ clothes. yes. i know how bored you get when you go _ clothes. yes. i know how bored you get when you go shopping | you get when you go shopping because — you get when you go shopping because i have been with you. do you — because i have been with you. do you usually shop online? you think i would. _ do you usually shop online? you think i would, but _ do you usually shop online? you think i would, but i _ do you usually shop online? ym. think i would, but i can't because i need to know that my clothes fit right and feel right and hang right, so i can't. ., ., ., ., can't. you have hit the nail on the head, _ can't. you have hit the nail on the head, because _ can't. you have hit the nail on the head, because the - can't. you have hit the nail on. the head, because the problem is when — the head, because the problem is when the clothes arrived, i don't — is when the clothes arrived, i don't tend _

but now one start up here in the heart of amsterdam's fashion district is hoping to change that by using digital models to help online retailers clean up their act. this is lalaland. instead of painstakingly using cgi to create one or two digital supermodels, it uses artificial intelligence that can make all kinds of digital bodies in minutes. kinds of digital bodies in minutes-— kinds of digital bodies in minutes. , ., ., minutes. basically we are going to have you _ minutes. basically we are going to have you considering - minutes. basically we are going to have you considering your. to have you considering your own fashion model, generating the synthetic models using artificial intelligence that then consumers can relate towards, which solves a massive problem of people feeling underrepresented while shopping online. the underrepresented while shopping online. ., , ., ., online. the idea is a retailer can make — online. the idea is a retailer can make digital _ online. the idea is a retailer can make digital models i online. the idea is a retailer i can make digital models basic shoppers will want to see,

hello there. brief respite on the horizon across the whole country to start the weekend, thanks to a ridge of high pressure building in. that'll settle things down to bring quite a lot of sunshine around and lighter winds on saturday for all areas. but it will be turning wet and windy again on sunday across scotland and northern ireland, tending to stay drier further south. so here it is, our area of high pressure, building in for saturday. fewer isobars on the charts as well, so winds will be lighter, as well. so it's a chilly start to saturday, maybe a little bit of mist and fog across southern areas, but plenty of sunshine around. however, the far north and west of scotland will tend to remain breezy. more cloud here with a few showers at times, and there could be the odd shower, northern ireland, north—west england too, but most places dry — temperatures reaching 14—17 celsius. feeling quite pleasant in the south, with lighter winds. through saturday night, conditions start to deteriorate across the north and west of the country. winds pick up, cloud starts to push in, so temperatures recover, but central—southern eastern england could be really quite chilly by sunday morning with some

mist and fog in places. well, the temperatures recover across the north and the west because we've got this area of low pressure sweeping into scotland and northern ireland throughout the day on sunday. so it turns much wetter here, winds picking up to gale force, maybe even severe gale force and exposure. few showers getting into the north and west of england, and into north—west wales at times, too. but for the rest of england, it'll stay dry with plenty of sunshine after that chilly start. a breezier day in the south, but very windy across the north and west with gales or even severe gales, like i mentioned. those temperatures ranging from around the mid teens in the north, again up to 17—18 celsius in the south. that band of rain spreads across all areas during sunday night, but into monday, it will eventually clear away from the south—east, and then we're into another ridge of high pressure. so, many places will be dry across central and southern areas on monday. a bit more of a breeze, though, across scotland, perhaps northern ireland, the far north—west of england, one or two showers here. we've got the low teens here, quite a cool feel —

in fact, up to 16 or 17 celsius further south. the area of high pressure continues to bring fine weather through tuesday and wednesday in the south—east. but areas of low pressure start to turn things more unsettled again in the north and the west as we move deeper into the week. so, i think by the end of the week, all areas will be turning cooler and more unsettled with wet and windy weather spreading in at times.
