this is bbc news. we will have the headlines and all the menu stories for you at the top of the ala, straight after this programme. —— top of the hour. this week, how robots are

helping the british army stay safe in hostile environments. it's not only about going into a building knowing that there is going to be an enemy threats inside there, it is what else is in there as well.- inside there, it is what else is in there as well. lara puts chatgpt _ is in there as well. lara puts chatgpt through _ is in there as well. lara puts chatgpt through its - is in there as well. lara puts chatgpt through its paces. i is in there as well. lara puts l chatgpt through its paces. no time between the super stats to stop, do i do quickly need to look at my phone. we look at how ai is helping doctors diagnosed neurological diseases. and we need an inspiring sportswoman who is using tech to help her stay at the top of her game. i using tech to help her stay at the top of her game.- using tech to help her stay at the top of her game. i can put the top of her game. i can put the glasses — the top of her game. i can put the glasses on _ the top of her game. i can put the glasses on and _ the top of her game. i can put the glasses on and obviously i the glasses on and obviously watch training as normal, but i almost get live captions as well. rigorous training to hone modern soldier skills is essential, as at any time they can be thrown into the heart of a war zone or humanitarian crisis. yes, so mark has been to meet the soldiers of 16 air assault brigade to see how technology is helping to train troops.

for these soldiers from second battalion, the parachute regiment, anything could be waiting behind this door. i have always wanted to join the army, as long as i can remember. there was nothing else i wanted to do. experience in places like iraq and afghanistan has taught the british army that entering a building in a conflict zone can be extremely dangerous. i know i have got great faith in my team because we are all highly trained professionals, you trust them out in front of you trust them out in front of you and behind you to do their jobs at a very high level. colchester in essex is home to the elite 16 air assault brigade, the british army's global response force, specially trained and equipped to deploy by parachute helicopter and air landing. ready to be sent anywhere in the world at a moment's notice and able to perform

a wide variety of roles from war fighting to providing humanitarian assistance. as a result, the troops here, like the soldiers of 2 para, are constantly training. british military training adapts to new threats all of the time. this might look like a mannequin that's been repurposed as a target, but this target shoots back. this is 16 air assault�*s new urban training facility. you don't know who indeed is in inside those urban areas, whether it be an enemy threat, whether it be a different actor, whether it be civilian. so you need to be aware of all different eventualities. it integrates a host of technologies, including cameras, sensors and speakers which monitor and create environments designed to prepare these paratroopers for real world operations.

this facility provides the integration of improvised ied explosions, different noises, dogs barking. it provides all of this realism that the soldiers would face in an urban environment on operations. so it's not only about going into a building knowing that there's going to be enemy threat inside there. it's what else is in there as well. this is called a figure 11 target. it's made of paper and wood, and it's been used by the army to hone soldiers' marksmanship skills for decades. called sim—striker, this sensor—laden smart target aims to crank up the pressure on troops that it comes up against, notjust by shooting back with small plastic bibs. sharp! it also simulates as much of the real world experience as

possible, eating including shouting and alerting the rest of its robotic team in different rooms to the threat posed by human troops straining against it. the target is programmed to be able to detect noise and also detect movement. so when the individuals are moving into rooms, whether they're opening doors, if these targets hear anything like that, they become alert. when these targets are then alert, they will then speak to each other. when you're then coming into a room, they're already preprogrammed to know the likelihood of the entrance that you're going to come inside. and as soon as they detect that movement, they will then start to engage towards your direction. it does make the individuals going through the facility, make them think about their skills, there drills, their positioning, the fact that they can't just walk into positioning, the fact that they can'tjust walk into a room, they have to consider but before coming in otherwise they will be engaged.— if troops are preparing for a deployment to a specific location, the sights, sounds and even smells that they might find on the ground can be recreated inside this space. all of the walls are modular

and can be reconfigured and moved around to create a wide variety of different environments. instructors debrief the soldiers in a nearby control room, analysing their performance and data on the accuracy of their shots, all captured by cameras and sensors in the sim stryker and the training facility centre of mass for those shots as well, in case they've got body armour. sim stryker and this training center which is called a smart facility are the work of uk company called ghd. founded by military veterans, the tech they have designed has been informed by their own experience in the field. the physical aspect of this activity sets it apart from purely tech based training solutions like virtual reality simulators. we really recognise that virtuality offers huge potential when it comes to training, delivery and exposure, but it's got to be applied properly.

having people in headsets with gaming controllers, whilst it can be good for some things we don't think is actually representative of the soldier training in a physicalfacility. to change a magazine, for example. it's still a very dexterous skill that requires lots of practice. where we're taking it is being able to blend the virtual world and blend the physical world. so because we collect data inside of our facilities, we can use that data to provide a real time virtual picture of everything that's happening inside of that facility. from that, we can start to introduce assets like drones, for instance. so it's bringing virtuality into the physical world, i suppose, is what we would do with it. but how do the soldiers themselves feel about being troops trained with the help of all of this tech? as a team leader, gives you a lot to think about, it's a lot of options as you go through. you've got a lot to consider with the layout. the best place to put your troops, not to put them at more risk. a lot more than perspective, that— a lot more than perspective, that there is going to be something firing back at you when — something firing back at you when you opened a store. it is a good — when you opened a store. it is a good talk it, because it

allows_ a good talk it, because it allows us to perform our level. this sort of kit looks set to become a bigger part of military training. agd has a deal with the us army and is preparing to roll out more training facilities like this one with the british army as well. for the military in training and in real—world operations, one thing is certain — recent events prove preparation is crucial, as you never know what threat could be around the next corner. now, onto the topic of ai, and what have your ai adventures been this week? it what have your ai adventures been this week?— what have your ai adventures been this week? if i'm honest, my social _ been this week? if i'm honest, my social media _ been this week? if i'm honest, my social media feed - been this week? if i'm honest, my social media feed these - been this week? if i'm honest, i my social media feed these days seems to be full of exciting new business opportunities opened up by chatgpt and i'm worried it is getting a little bit overhyped.— worried it is getting a little bit overhyped. well, i have taken ai — bit overhyped. well, i have taken al to _ bit overhyped. well, i have taken al to the _ bit overhyped. well, i have taken al to the place - bit overhyped. well, i have taken al to the place that l bit overhyped. well, i have taken al to the place that i | taken al to the place that i love the most don't hate the most at the same time, the gym.

if we are to believe the hype, ai chat by chatgpt can write just about anything. so i have tasked it with making exercise plan, pitching it up an actual workout app. both use ai plan, pitching it up an actual workout app. both use al to determine what best exercises i should do given my height, weight, goals and injuries. the difference is that chatgpt is free, and works based on the likelihood of what word should follow another. so i wonder if what it creates will be any good? first up, the app. this ai regime is tweaked by a personal trainer and there are videos to show you what to do, it will cost you 65 quid per month, though. and chatgpt has come out with a similar start. first ten minutes, welcome a bit of a lightjog, some dynamic stretching from my arms. then i'm going to do a plaintiff, a gluten bridge, a

bird dog, a side point, some squats, it looks like a fairly similar workout, let's give it a go. so this is pretty similar to the sort of work out i do by myself, really. of course, neither of these methods actually have a trainer with you while you are doing the exercise, so you've got to make sure you do it properly. both of the app and the chatgpt version focus on safety. right, what's next? dumbbell front rack squats, elbows under weights, lengths against upper chest. state a bit wider than shoulders, toes slightly pointed out. the video of yourselves. quick look at the video. let me see if i can do that. he is going very low. i wouldn't have thought i needed to do that, based on the temp —— based on the text, so there is a good thing there is a video. the first thing that comes to my attention during the chat gpt workout is that i have a whole list of exercises,

most of which can just be done here on the mat. of course, the system doesn't know what equipment i've got access to. and if i don't know how to do any of those exercises, well, i'm going to have to search for videos online. and the very first one is a plank that i need to do for 30 seconds, then rest for 15 seconds, so i do need to set a timer. so what does a human personal trainer make of it? does a human personaltrainer make of it?— make of it? they are both decent workouts, - make of it? they are both. decent workouts, however, make of it? they are both - decent workouts, however, this one, it does have a bit more just abs and lower body base, was this what has your upper body and your core and your resistance as well, whereas in this one it is just bodyweight. and how about the issue of making sure you are doing things properly? i making sure you are doing things properly?— making sure you are doing things properly? i think the videos and _ things properly? i think the videos and explanations - things properly? i think the| videos and explanations are really important. it is so easy to do something a little bit wrong and you are hitting the wrong and you are hitting the wrong muscle. find wrong and you are hitting the wrong muscle.— wrong muscle. and you don't think peeple _ wrong muscle. and you don't think people will _ wrong muscle. and you don't think people will be - wrong muscle. and you don't think people will be put - wrong muscle. and you don't think people will be put off. think people will be put off seeing a personal trainer from this kind of experience with chat gpt? i

trying to solve. the start—up has created an ai tool which it says could help understand and track the progression of alzheimer's, parkinson's, motor neuron disease and multiple sclerosis much better than traditional methods.- sclerosis much better than traditional methods. both my grandparents— traditional methods. both my grandparents died _ traditional methods. both my grandparents died of- grandparents died of alzheimer's, so this is a very meaningful voyage and mission to transform the lives and people of families who suffer from these terrible neurodegenerative diseases. it system uses a computer with a webcam. that is it. we use standard video to compensate for low flame rate and other limitations of video and other limitations of video and create a signature of both its disease and its progression. it its disease and its progression. its disease and its rouression. ., , progression. it looks how it is behaved when _ progression. it looks how it is behaved when it _ progression. it looks how it is behaved when it has - progression. it looks how it is behaved when it has stimuli l progression. it looks how it is i behaved when it has stimuli and measures its characteristics over time to stop the goal, to ultimately diagnose disease much sooner than it is today from years down to months. and i'm having a go of their test.

follow the red dot and you will see itjumping on the screen and your task is simply to follow it. what we are measuring is the response time and the ability of the brain to calculate ahead of time where it needs to reach at the end. right, 0k. by digitally mapping my face and features it is able to trace my eyes' movements without actually my head in a fixed position. the test is designed to be quick and painless and accessible for people even in remote parts of the world. but the company is some way from fda approval. it is looking for partners to validate its technology. how do you know that this, you know,... you know that this, you know. - - -_ you know that this, you know,... . , ., ~ , know, . .. that this works? yes. will there _ know, . .. that this works? yes. will there are _ know, . .. that this works? yes. will there are over— know, . .. that this works? yes. will there are over -- - know, . .. that this works? yes. will there are over -- many - will there are over —— many papers published showing the progression of these diseases and ocular monitors. there are four trials on going right now.

all results we have coming in specifically from parkinson's and als are mind—boggling. not only are we able to differentiate between healthy and sick patients but actually monitor and model the progression of the disease, showing different variants of the disease. while those trials are ongoing, my results are in. 187 is 100 ms below the average. don't worry, you are actually really good. eye tracking _ actually really good. eye tracking is _ actually really good. eye tracking is just _ actually really good. eye tracking is just one - actually really good. eye tracking is just one technology being used to understand neurodegenerative diseases. videogames and even vr experiences are all playing a part in helping diagnose the condition. 50 part in helping diagnose the condition.— part in helping diagnose the condition. _ , ., condition. so the symptoms for diseases like _ condition. so the symptoms for diseases like alzheimer's - diseases like alzheimer's diseases like alzheimer's disease really, really broad. it can affect things like how we are walking, your memory, your speech, your navigation and its different for everybody. that makes a real challenge and is really

in front of your eyes using a pair of smart glasses. so we've asked one woman who's also an elite rugby player, to put them to the test. my name isjodie ansley. i'm 22 years old, a professional rugby player for exeter chiefs. i was born premature and i became ill quite quickly. and then we soon discovered that i was profoundly deaf. the only information was given was that they probably won't speak. she'll struggle in education. job prospects will be bleak. of course, we now know that none of that is true. when i was 13 months old, i had a cochlear implant fitted on the right side. it's no cure. it's not normal hearing. itjust allows me to hear some sounds and mostly read. as i grew up, i learnt more about my deafness and obviously going through school. that's when i sort of faced

challenges and struggled a little bit more. and then i discovered rugby when i was around 15. i actually wanted to give it a go when my younger brother started but my parents wouldn't let me play because of potential risks to the cochlear implant. 0ne potential risks to the cochlear implant. one was the electrical device on the ear that can break but the bigger risk is the implant in the head which is in the skull and a really bad impact could potentially dislodge that. i thought, we shall have one session, not like here and that will be out of a system. so we came down here to the rugby club in wakefield where she was too nervous to get out of the car. i was personally more worried about what if i miss things on the pitch? what if the coaches don't really understand that i'm deaf? and therefore, what if

the players don't really know how to react? after some encouragement, she came out, had a session, went really well. couple of years later, here i am, you know, being a professional rugby player. at exerter chiefs, we have a whole range of different players from all over the world, and there's one player called tricky who has a very thick irish accent. and even, you know, my hearing team—mates struggle to understand sometimes, never mind the deaf person. and there were one time i was just having a conversation and we were making a joke saying, oh, if only you had live captions to so that we could understand what you were saying. and i kid you not, literally a couple of days later, scrolling through my phone on instagram and then the x ray glasses came up and i saw a reaction video. and i couldn't believe — i messaged tricky, i was like, can you believe this is actually subtitled glasses? it was quite surreal. you get through your life and it's a struggle on a daily basis, but you just crack on.

suddenly to have these glasses where i'm speaking to someone and not having to solely concentrate on lip reading, i was able to almost relax a little bit more and just see the subtitles come above me. there's loads of different functions, but the one i mainly use is obviously the live captions. what has it been like to watch me play professional rugby? we have a software there, upload the training footage, our game footage, and then our coaching team will do like a voiceover. obviously you can't see the face, so you just hear

the voiceover whilst watching training back. so that's quite difficult for me to pick up sound without being able to lip read. so i feel like i'm focusing more on trying to listen what my culture is saying rather than focusing on the footage. but obviously with the x—ray glasses, i can put the glasses on and obviously watch training as normal. but as my coach is speaking, obviously i get live captions as well. that might sound so simple and so little, but that's like a massive thing for me because then obviously i can focus on the rugby and not focus on what i'm missing. i think people think that you have to do drastic things to make it easierfor notjust deaf people, but anyone with a disability. it's just little tweaks and just that openness and honesty.

and yeah, my teammates have just been brilliant and supportive really. it's so exciting to even see x—ray glasses, to see where it is now that pretty much at the start of the journey and it's already amazing. so to even think about where it could be in a couple of years' time, it's it's quite scary but also really exciting to think about. how willing is that. the app is only available on andrew dodt —— android at the moment. will some exciting news aboutjodie, it is just been announced she will be starring in the bbc�*s gladiator series, she is going to be called fury. and i'm afraid that's it for the short cut of click we should be back next week. thanks for watching. see you.

hello there. it's been a pretty good week to have been on holiday in the uk and now, we've got the bank holiday weekend in prospect, so looking good again. not too many changes — a lot of dry weather, sunshine. it may turn a bit cooler as the weekend goes on. essentially, high pressure is still in charge, keeping it dry for the most part. the only fly in the ointment — and it's a small fly — is that weak weather front that's coming down from the north—west, and stronger winds will bring more cloud down into scotland and northern ireland, but not much rain, as you can see. some sunshine in the north—west later on. south east scotland — dry, bright and quite warm. some patchy cloud for northern england. sunnier skies further south for england and wales and not as windy in the south on saturday. it's going to be a warmer day for england and wales — temperatures widely reaching 22, 23 degrees. cooler weather, though, arrives in the north—west of scotland, and that cooler air follows that weak weather front that's heading

out into the north sea. high pressure builds in behind that and that cooler air topples down from the north so, as we head into sunday, maybe some changes to come. starting off quite sunny in most places but increasing amounts of cloud with the best of the sunshine hanging on across the western side of the uk. the highest temperatures are getting squeezed towards the south—west. it's cooler in northern and eastern areas — a significant drop in temperature, i think, for the north—east of england on sunday. but we've still got the high pressure around, so it's keeping it fine and dry. differences in the amounts of cloud from day to day. we've got a few more isobars on the chart by monday in the south, so it's going to be quite windy here, i think, on monday, and quite a chilly wind coming in off the north sea as well. now, there may well be some cloud for a while pushing its way into england and wales. that will move through and away from northern scotland, there should be a lot of sunshine. so, sunny skies for england and wales but a cooler wind

in the south, and temperatures on the whole will be lower in england and wales. starting to warm up again in northern ireland and particularly into western parts of scotland. a similar sort of scene, really, on tuesday. perhaps more cloud coming in on those brisk winds from off the north sea into central and eastern areas of england. the best of the sunshine in the west and the north and again, the highest temperatures are likely to be into the low 20s across western areas of scotland. again, west is best, i think, as we head into wednesday. there's our area of high pressure, not changing very much. more isobars in the south. still that brisk wind blowing across southern parts of the country. this time, we may be looking at bluer skies. not much cloud around on wednesday but again, it's going to be cooler around some of those north sea coasts. highest temperatures in the west, reaching the low 20s again, 22, 23, maybe even a little bit higher than that where the winds are a bit lighter. looking further ahead, high pressure's still close by. it's not retreating as quickly but there is falling pressure in the south. that's coming from spain and portugal, across france, and it brings the potential

next weekend maybe for a few showers across southern parts of the uk. but because the high pressure is not declining so rapidly and there's warm air in that and coming up from the south, that colder air is not coming into the north—east of the uk quite so quickly. it looks like it'll continue dry and warm with plenty of sunshine. temperatures could get beyond the mid 20s for a while, but there could be a few showers in the south next weekend.

live from washington, this is bbc news. welcome to viewers on pbs in america, and around the globe. is a deal on the us debt limit close? president biden believes it might be. things are looking good, very optimistic. i hope we will have some clearer evidence tonight. an attack on ukraine describes a medicalfacility, killing at least two people. we will have the latest from our correspondence at the scene. the shooting of an 11—year—old boy in mississippi raises new questions over police practices. aderrien murry had actually called officers for help, only to be shot himself.
