Now its time for click. I own the issue therefore for political gain that really further heavy showers, i own the voices on the issue is against the very reason why longer spells of rain wikipedia was really created. Across the north west and i should own the verdicts but the problem is that weve heard of the country. And then we will start to see some on the issues. Everything that china the same from facebook and other web more persistent rain pushing this week, microsoft boss is primarily interested in and concerned about is to defend to parts of england and wales its political positions. 2. 0 companies where theyre basically saying, well, it by the end of the night. Its all about china. Violates our terms and conditions. You notice temperatures Satya Nadella uncovering state led the anglo saxon worlds but people still do it. Primarily over the the past 12 14 in the south. Four decades has really framed turning much milder. The china story and the temperatures nine or 10 internet manipulation. And abominable animation. Interpretation of china based the overnight low for scotland on a western philosophy and northern ireland. And political, economic framework. The ace in the hole for wikipedia look at him. And i think today china does would be that theyre now passing the reason for the wet weather owe the world a china these links that weve sent them as we head on into friday and, story told by itself and all the evidence that we have indeed, into the weekend, hes a yeti. And from a chinas perspective. I think its not only to their tens of thousands is this weather front chinese privilege but is of Community Editors and volunteers. Which will be pretty much part really a responsibility. Wikimedia, the foundation is not some call it fake news, actually responsible across england and wales, for the content, that would be some call it disinformation, the volunteers themselves. We think, and it is going to bring we really dont know how widespread which of course is a huge a lot of rainfall throughout friday. Benefit for them. All this is across the vast expanse they can mobilise all these people tending to pile up of wikipedias multilingual entries. Into the hills of wales, and it is impossible for us around the world who will constantly perhaps the north midlands, to verify whether the chinese 00 01 35,251 2147483051 37 32,340 government really is ultimately 2147483051 37 32,340 4294966103 13 29,430 responsible for any of it. Patrol and protect the site. And in fact do return many of and northern england, the edits that we saw at least back to their original state particularly across actually quite quickly. The peat district. 50 70 millimetres of rain doesnt this come down to different definitions of the truth . By the time the day is out, of course its worth remembering so that could cause some issues, atrocious conditions on the road and some surface water flooding. Across the far south east, is online manipulation, that, at least in the eyes we could se a little bit of a brightness and dry weather, then it will be mild or even information warfare. Of the authors of the papers to the south of that weather we covered, they were simply front, friday afternoon. The tech giants call it coordinated 18 degrees will be the high. Inauthentic activity. Being motivated by desire to correct false news articles on facebook, western misconceptions around 15 or 16 and biases regarding china. On the weather front. You know, youve got but to the north of it, with wikipedia this kind of vision for scotland and northern ireland, of the open internet, bots amplifying questionable open knowledge, open source, where we will see sunshine but then in stark contrast you have and showers, cooler air mass, this another kind of newer perhaps 13 or 1a degrees. And for the rest of friday, but rising idea and that is looks like the showers opinions on twitter. The kind of increasing across Northern Areas power of states online. Begin to ease down. You know, the idea that geo perhaps the rain for england political battles will now and wales might ease down for a bit, be fought online too, and that places like wikipedia may before a new renewed bit of rain what we now know is that nation be becoming too important or too starts to push into the south west powerful for states to really ignore so that means, into the weekend, states have and are weaponising in their struggles over the truth and in defining what people believe. I think england and wales look like seeing most of the cloud these techniques to their own ends; carl, how absolutely fascinating. And outbreaks of rain russia to interfere with elections, thank you so much for the research. China to spread disinformation. Which again could cause some issues, but there is one place which hasnt hello and welcome with some surface water flooding. But a different story further north, been associated with deliberate disinformation recently. To the week in tech. For scotland and northern ireland, youll be in the slightly and thats wikipedia. Cooler air mass it was the week that and therell be a mixture facebook felt the power of sunshine and showers, its the largest collection of human of the European Court of some of which may be knowledge ever created, justice.

Evidence of a possible strategy they hope the hero 8 black will prove a success after mixed by the Chinese State to manipulate reviews for the hero 7. Wikipedia for its own propaganda aims. Osteoarthritis patients are testing the worlds first smart glove heres carl miller. For at Home Treatment thanks to a pilot run by hospitals in madrid. It can be programmed edit wars stemming from genuine by doctors to heat up, differences of opinion have been vibrate and perform physical therapy part and parcel of wikipedia since the very beginning. So is vandalism, which is why wikipedia has created ways to combat it, with a mixture of bots and editors with special powers patrolling the platform day and night. While patients rest at home. But whats to stop people or even worse, governments and regimes, from manipulating the site for their own ends . Its something thats bothered me instinctively for over a year now. The firm behind the glove says this makes it easier and cheaper for Health Services to treat patients. What first got me on this track and finally a bright eyed robot were these two documents. Assistant is helping out nurses both initially written at a hospital in texas. In chinese, but we had them translated into english. Made by diligent robotics, moxi uses al to recognise its surroundings one is written by and features a camera, sensors a chinese official. The other was written and gripper to pick up objects. By a couple of academics. Dont worry, the humanoid bot they present a playbook for how is only running errands at present, wikipedia operates strategies to influence the platform so no chance of a robot bedbath just yet. Your you school and argue there are strong were here at microsofts reasons for doing so. Future decoded event, which is looking at al and how it may change workplaces across the world. Strategies such as creating teams back in the day, microsoft changed everything with windows making itself the most valuable company to edit on the platform, and cultivating opinion leaders, in the world. And using different rhetoric to change and rebalance chinas image. And bill gates the richest both papers stress what a vital person in the world. But then things went a little wrong. Source of information wikipedia is for the people around the world mostly because microsoft missed who read it, but complain that it the mobile revolution and fell well behind apple and google. Contains misleading and prejudiced but then, as we told content against chinas national you earlier this year, and governmental image. This is bbc news welcome if youre but this isntjust a problem to be along came new boss confronted by volunteers, Satya Nadella with a master plan watching here in the uk, in the words of one of the papers, to return microsoft on pbs in america to its former glory. Or around the globe. The Chinese State should im mike embley. Act proactively too. Well, now dave lee has caught up our top stories one of the places mentioned is taiwan, situated to the south with the man himself to find out how that reinvention is going. East of mainland china. The island is regarded International Condemnation as turkey by china as a renegade invades kurdish controlled province, but many in taiwan areas of north east syria. This week, microsoft chief executive, Satya Nadella, for civilians across the border dispute this understanding. On the syrian side, this is going to feel like one was in new york to show off a range so if a war on wikipedia of new devices the firm more round of battle in an agonisingly long war. Has been working on. But before showing them is going to be fought anywhere, to the world, microsoft invited me to seattle and into their lab, a gunman kills two people a place where the firms devices near a synagogue in eastern germany, its going to be there. Are conceived and perfected Live Streaming it online. Armed with this information, i went in a number of curious and, to meet some taiwanese wikipedians as youll see, painful ways. At a hackathon in the capital city taipei. Out of tragedy, this is a very crazy year. Change comes to iran. Yeah, a lot of taiwanese engineers here are able on thursday Women Football fans wikipedians, we attacked and left. To prototype and make design will be able to fill the stands later on, they pointed me to some modifications on the fly. For the first time. Examples of the kind of manipulation going through many different iterations before settling they say is happening on wikipedia on the final design that will get and an online fight between the wives of two top on chinese related issues. Mass produced in china. One concerns the very nature but that doesnt happen until its gone through a series of taiwan itself; is it of extensive and unusual tests. An independent nation or in fact a province of china . They repeating editing power this is microsofts Human Factors lab, its here articles on the english where they test their new devices for how theyre going to look, and chinese wikipedia, how theyre going to feel and they wipe out the taiwan opinion including under different lighting and just keep the china one. Conditions like when youre at home or if youre in bright sunlight. The work that takes place in the Human Factors lab is a closely guarded secret. Repeating itself, in fact, its a closely guarded secret even once the products taiwan is part of china, theyve made are released a province of china. Its not like outright vandalism to the public. Its just like pruning the language. As far as these people shifting the language to kind of go are concerned, if theyve from one thing to another. Done theirjob properly, how long will it be you wont notice their efforts. Been going on for . Years. Years . This machine is monitoring my and examples kept flowing, brainwaves to see how much concentration it takes to perform such as the senkaku islands, certain tasks, such as typing. And this test is looking at how much a disputed territory actually, muscle strain i endure but which for a while was chinas when i open a laptop. Inherent territory, at least in mandarin on the wiki data pages. Although there are elected Office Holders with powers to take something that didnt down or lock articles, seem too strenuous to me some of taiwans wikipedians fear but is apparently very important. That these elections for these to find out what im going through, positions have been targeted amidst a wire the width of a human hair a general rising atmosphere of intimidation. So taiwanese wikipedians or people is implanted into my hand and then that voice anti chinese opinions on wikipedia, they get attacked and trolled monitored for activity. And abused and docs on wikipedia regularly attacked. What does wikimedia global and then we have our think of all of this . Ears to think about. Laughter. They dont care microsoft is following apple is it because theyre american and amazon and samsung and theyjust dont know . In coming out with its own so called smart earbuds. The hostile words are lost in translations. These are devices that you stick in your ear to hear things, obviously, but also you can use touch gestures to interact with your computer. What we have is a small amount of prototypes that it took heather ford has researched political edits on wikipedia. To design surface earbuds. Whenever you have a group of motivated and well resourced and it was a long journey people who are taking a particular political line on wikipedia it was roughly three years. Articles, that they can very easily overwhelm the volunteer 00 06 57,291 4294966103 13 29,430 efforts of wikipedia. We scanned thousands of ears and we took data from that. We also took the approach ofjust trying it on. I mean, we can take a tonne of data from the ear scans and inform us of general shape, but it really comes down to making the prototype and putting it in peoples ears, so hundreds and hundreds of people will come through this lab, try it on, give us feedback, and then we go through another iteration. Microsofts big secret at the new york event were these two folding devices the surface neo, the surface duo. The neo is essentially two tablets hinged together running a modified version of windows designed to work either across two screens or on two screens independently. And the duo is essentially two smartphones together running Google Android instead of windows. The overload is much less. Im staying in context on a web browser on one side im using edge on one side and im looking at my neo on the other. I have a calendar on one side i have my mail on the other but its structured in a way that youre actually optimizing and feeling good about being productive. The devices have been a long term passion project hes very attached to this idea. The devices wont come out until late next year. Before then, a few glitches need to be ironed out. Ill open mail here. Its a pen. It just touches a little bit better with a pen. Oh, yeah. Microsoft has taken a different approach to their rivals. Samsungs galaxy fold, for example, is already on the market, and that has a screen that goes all the way across the hinge. Although some users have complained that that screen isnt particularly reliable. This is the biggest range of hardware microsoft has ever launched in a single year. Adding new lines to the side of its business that, in less than a decade, has become worth more than 5 billion a year to microsoft. We were the first to create the two in one category where no one thought that that could be done. We then created even the desktop that could become a canvas for creativity with studio, we created holo lens that brought what was digital and physical together. And weve continued to innovate, and so therefore this two screen innovation is what we think is fantastic for the kinds of things that we care a lot about which is productivity, creativity, pen input. To be able to have teams on one side and then to be able to take notes, like, thats an everyday scenario. But samsung bendy screen, theyve pulled it off with a few reliability issues, they seem to have done the same thing huawei. So was microsoft trying to do that . Or did itjust take a different route to a different direction . A different direction. In fact, ive been using even the samsung, its a beautiful device. Weve worked very closely with them on getting our software on samsung and so we think that thats a Great Innovation too. So i celebrate whenever new computers and new computing is created, because i think thats what the world needs if anything. One of the other things we want to sort of do is that consumption is great, right . I mean more browsing, more shopping, more binge watching, all as you and i do. But also more creativity and more productivity is also great. We want that balance to some degree. The last ten years has been more about consumption, less about creation, and we want to swing that balance to the right place. That was dave lee. Here on click you know we love keeping tabs on the latest movie making techniques, especially cgi and animation. So kate russell has gained extremely rare access to dreamworks studios in los angeles. To look at the secrets of animated film making with a look at their latest release abominable. Of course really . No. Shrek, kung fu panda, how to train your dragon, just a few of the film series created by Dreamworks Animation studios. Hey what are you doing out here . And their newest film, abominable, has released in the states and topped the weekend box office. As animation techniques improve, the amount of time it takes to make these movies increases exponentially. Take this guy for example. The original shrek in 2001 took six terabytes of data and around five million hours of render time. For abominable, we had 150 terabytes of used space thatll be archived, and then we had another 150 terabytes of temp space just for effect simulations and all that data. And we used about 181 million render hours. Work on abominable began seven years ago. So why does it take so long to get the original idea from paper to screen . Making an animated movie is almost like youre making a live action movie. And all the technicalities of a camera in live action are now incorporated into animation. Before we used to do all in 2d, we used to film with a camera locked up and on top of a table, so everything had to move down on the paper. But with this kind of technology, the cameras inside the drawing and we move the camera around the drawing, in that we find the character, and we have to build the whole world that way. Back in the shrek days, you would basically try and light and render a scene, and you would wait and wait and wait to see an image, and then you can make your changes and you wait and wait again. And so the feedback loop, which is critical for the artists, has really improved. So this is a moonray interactive render, and as you can see, i can interactively move the character around and space change the camera but i can also go through and actually start making lighting changes, and as i do that, the feedback is almost instantaneous. But the overall time has increased. So thats why the overall render hours has increased, because were just doing much more complex lighting calculations. So how animated films are made here has changed massively over the last couple of decades, with more data meaning more detail. The shot is around 120 frames or 220 frames, and thats about 14 feet of animation. So that means this shot should take an animator two weeks to do. Technology might be at the heart of realising an artists vision, but very often the soul of an idea comes directly from the natural world. Take these koi carp in the lagoon here at the dreamworks campus. They were an inspiration for the amazing cloud koi flight scene in the movie. Heres our final image which touches on the lighting for the sequence. They really did an amazing job. And the results were far from abominable. Guys, what are you doing up here . Get away from her. Im calling the police. Hes not dangerous. Look at him. Hes a yeti. Brilliant that was kate in la. And thats it for this week. But dont forget, as always, you can find us throughout the week on facebook, instagram, youtube, and twitter at bbc click. Youll also find us on wikipedia. 00 14 20,156 2147483051 43 54,793 look it up. 2147483051 43 54,793 4294966103 13 29,430 thanks for watching
