Now in a few minutes itll be time for newswatch, but first heres click. Hey, welcome to click and welcome to my new office. Its a bit small but it does have one advantage, and thats that it can be absolutely anywhere. Hiya, fancy seeing you here. Hello, nice pod. Are you avoiding me in there . As we start to talk about the future of workspaces post pandemic, the go pod is one idea. It could be placed in the middle of an open plan office or a public face like a coffee shop, giving people the opportunity to be able to book a safe and private space. Yeah, this is about a future where people are starting to work partly in offices and partly elsewhere too. This hybrid working that were hearing so much about. And go pod want to put these things everywhere so theres always one nearby, because its all very well working in a cafe but sometimes you do need to take a private call or have a private meeting. And to do so, you find the nearest pod via the app where you can book it and pay for it. Its fully ventilated, and the company is also trialling using uvc lights to kill off any bacteria and viruses between uses. Now, this is a 1 person pod. There will be 4 and 6 people pods coming too for when we can all share the same air again. But while were waiting, lara has been to see a different type of pod that really does move. Many people whove taken a breakfrom using Public Transport may feel a bit intimidated about returning to it. So ive come to take a look at the making of whats being called a post pandemic vehicle. This concept pod would sit somewhere between a bus and a taxi, both in size and cost, and could be booked, summoned and paid for via your smartphone. Itd be well ventilated, clearly labelled when safe to use, and moving screens would provide customisable sized carriages. One could imagine being downstairs on a bus or on a train, that the carriage could be configurable, so thats something were working with manufacturers on to look at how they can configure vehicles to make them more friendly for multi people use. And doing it via a mobile phone also means you havent actually got to touch anything. Exactly right. Pre covid, we were still using that user centred design philosophy, and what were peoples issues them . They were more interested in comfort, for example, or Motion Sickness . In autonomous vehicles, we can programme how gently they take off and what sort of acceleration and deceleration they give to the occupant in order to minimise that Motion Sickness dose, and so make the journey more co mforta ble. But wouldnt it be nice if you just didnt need to travel so far . Spencer yes, and that, my friend, is where Working From Home might morph into working near home. If the pandemic� s left you sick of typing at the kitchen table, then this new local desk booking app could be for you. Narau launched last year and it lists desks in 350 locations, including Co Working Spaces, offices and hotels. This is the closest workspace to where i live and narau says this is different from the tradition co working model where you would rent access to a dedicated Co Working Space on a longish term contract, maybe month to month, but with this service, individuals can lease out spare desks and workers can work for as little as an hour without a contract. They say its a bit like airbnb, but for desks. With many Office Spaces now sitting empty, a service like this could help Building Owners to monetise underused properties, with the app taking 10 of the fees and also giving users more flexibility on the type of place they want to work. So whether youre kind of relatively introverted, you might like to space that is quiet, and that might be more suited to you or if you might be more extroverted and want to go to a super creative space. People now dont need to go to an office space to show that they are working. And while its mostly being used by individuals, some companies are also using the app to help their employees work remotely too. For example, cherelle khassal, former Crystal Palace lara meanwhile, i dont normally mind getting my hands dirty at work but these days, its all about keeping them clea n. Well, were all pretty used to being greeted by a hand sanitiser anywhere we go these days. Your work past would have an rfid tag in it which sets off an alert if you walk straight past this, so a discreet text message would arrive on your phone, reminding you to go back again and clean your hands. There we go, job done. Just dont have your ringtone set to loud. Imagine the shame. Pre pandemic, savortex had focused on smart hand dryers that counted how many people used them compared to how many passed by. Some maybejust didnt dry their hands but many didnt wash them, yuck. And then covid struck. However the future of our workplaces may play out, one thing can be fairly sure, and thats that theyre changing. Pardon . I cant see whats happening outside. What are you doing . Im coming out 0k, right now, we are smack bang in the middle of euro 2020. Are you enjoying it . Yeah, you . Yeah, iam, actually. I like a good shout in front of the tv and, quite frankly, i need that right now. Indeed, but as the excitement heightens, there has also been growing evidence that playing the game may not actually be so good for you, as repeatedly heading the ball could actually, long term, lead to head injuries. So paul carter has been taking a look at one piece of Tech Researchers are using to learn more. Newsreel the west german attack had bite and purpose. 0n they came again. Concussion is a growing concern in professional sport, but its not always as obvious as being knocked out cold. Theres also growing concern about the potential for much longer term damage. Football is a sport increasingly coming under scrutiny in this area. A recent paper by Glasgow University found that Ex Footballers are 3. 5 times more likely to die of dementia potentially caused by heading the ball. Its due to what is called sub concussive head impacts, lower impact hits that, frequently repeated, can have a residual effect. When Football Players head a ball, we can detect that you get changes in the electrical circuitry. To what you call the sub concussive hits, youre not getting any symptoms and, in many ways, thats more sinister because you can have these sub concussive hits week in, week out over a number of years and not detect them. The effect is starting to show in Football Heroes of the past. 5 out of the ii man 1966 world cup winning squad developed dementia in later life. These kinds of impacts arent just a concern for seasoned pros, they can affect anyone, professionals, amateurs and especially children and teenagers. The effects of Sub Concussion is far greater in children. You can see it in severe cases. The Recovery Time is far, far longer. But edinburgh based company hit has come up with a piece of technology they think might tackle the problem by measuring how much impact an athlete sustains to the head when taking part in sport. I went to their lab at Heriot Watt University to see their final stages of testing. And what were doing is were basically calibrating the accelerometer thats in the back of the head in the hit device to give us a really good indication of kind of how sensitive the accelerometer is and if we need to maybe alter that or if its all good to go. Would that be kind of the equivalent of the sort of impacts people might be getting in a real world situation, or are you sort of going beyond that . So what were doing here, the 60 gs is our threshold impact. What we would do there is put an adult rugby player, or an adult, anyone thats not wearing a helmet, and that is risky, its dangerous. We want you to be checked out. For this one, youre seeing that movement down, the bang of the head similar to when you get whiplash with your head off the ground. Godspeed, mr head. Three, two, one. That looks pretty dramatic. So youve got the numbers there . Weve got the numbers here. Youre seeing the impact. So youre seeing the impacts. We are able to count all of your impacts in a traffic light system. 0bviously 9 gs, anything up to 20 at the moment, is deemed safe. Amber is when its getting a bit risky and red, we want you to come off and get checked out for any symptoms. Seeing it in the lab brings home how hard these impacts actually are, and how we overlook them in the speed of the game. Its certainly not something i would want to happen to my head. But to understand how this transfers onto the pitch, we met with some members of the heriot watt womens Football Team who are trying out the device. There we go, so its picked up this first header. There was a 10 g one, so its gone up now, so thats the new highest one, as were watching. But thats still sort of within safe. Within the safe range, of course. Its the accumulation. Youre seeing research at the moment suggesting 20 headers or 15 gs is showing a change in brain that would take 2a hours to recover from your baseline. When we go outside to play sport, how often do we think about the hidden costs to our heads . Its particularly easy to see how this technology could be used with children to really understand the impact young heads are taking playing games at school. Being able to see the hits that we are sustaining when playing sport may well help us consider how much we are putting are brains through. I really do think that real time sensors is the way to go. We can act quickly, quantify concussion better, Sub Concussion better, and take action to prevent early onset dementia. But all this does raise the question should we really be using our heads at all . Thatisif that is if the shortcut version click.

Hello and welcome to newswatch, with me, samira ahmed. The euros are on but why do they get to push around that length and timing of Bbc News Bulletins . And should the tournament occupies so much airtime and prominence in the news . Its that time of year again, when Sports Events disrupt television schedules, to the delight of some and then infuriating of others. Since that euro mens football tournament started a fortnight ago we have had complaints from the latter group, including this from Terry Pearson on monday last week, when scotland played their first game. Since then, other News Bulletins have been shortened or delayed, including a day of scotlandsecond game last friday. Because of live coverage of another match that afternoon, the news at six that day was actually the news at 7 05pm. Day was actually the news at 7 05 m. ,. , 7 05pm.

The first 12 minutes of that programme previewed the england scotland match, and the first 12 minutes of that nights news at ten looked back on it, a pattern that was repeated on tuesday when both teams played their last pool games in the tournament.
