The scenes. Its friday, its six oclock, and its crackerjack the time its on may have changed, but little else has. Crackerjack is back with the same mix of games, gags, and gunge. First day on the job, most important thing, always give yourself time for lunch. And explained why it returned after 36 years. It is just such an iconic show, it is a bit of a no brainer. Iconic show, it is a bit of a nobrainer. Bbc suggested this to us and, and on a. A massive Family Entertainment show is what we love to do in the sticks all the boxes. Starting in 1959, it was hosted by
amon andrews. What do you think of the show so far . By the 1970s, audiences reached 8. 5 million, with co ntesta nt audiences reached 8. 5 million, with contestant including john balko. He lost. And then in the 805, there was due francis. When i remember it, it was all about catchphrases. Are you inventing some . Were going to try a few. One of the rules with catchphrases, because if you say this is our catchphrase people might 90, this is our catchphrase people might go, no its not its a catchphrase if it starts working. Its organic, they happen on the go. That is apparently now youre catchphrase. The crackerjack catchphrase will hopefully catch on, because anytime we say crackerjack, the audience i5. We say crackerjack, the audience is. Crackerjack this is a sure sign crackerjack has returned, a huge stack of foam pies. And the First Episode of the new Series Features a bunch of crackerjack favourites. 0ut features a bunch of crackerjack favourites. Out of the field to be back on the set . Brilliant. Way is at the right time to bring it back . I dont think there was a right time to ta ke i dont think there was a right time to take it away. If it aint broke, dont mend it. A blanket and woke up 40 years later and nothing has changed apart from my legs dont work like they used to. It was the best childrens show ever and somebody has had the bright idea to bring back top class television. Somebody has had the bright idea to bring back top class televisionlj think bring back top class television. think maybe they needed to wait for the right presenters and the two are
then. We need crackerjack. We need then. We need crackerjack. We need the kids to get off the iphone, get into the same room and watch this Event Television together. Crackerjack thats more like it. And as for the change in time. would love if there was some dad that gets on the iplayer and start it at five 25. Thats proper nostalgic and there was only one way we could end this piece. Crackerjack now on bbc news, click. This week, we are staring into the future. We are self driving around china. That is a bit creepy. And we are flexing our. That looks
painful not quite. Give me the chime, im doing it cars. They are always one of the biggest draws at tech shows and last weeks ces wa5 biggest draws at tech shows and last weeks ces was no exception there we re weeks ces was no exception there were plenty of innovations in5ide the vehicles and out. Say you wanted to rent this beauty for the weekend and when he returned and they were a few ding5 in the body how do you conclusively prove that you didnt do them. What you need, are a pair of these. These are check 5canner5. A french innovation that can inspect
a carfor damage in the a french innovation that can inspect a car for damage in the time a french innovation that can inspect a carfor damage in the time it ta kes to a carfor damage in the time it takes to drive through them stopping there are ten cameras on each side and Machine Learning has been trained to spot dents and scratches that can be compared to those that we re that can be compared to those that were there when you picked the car up. It is also for manufacturers to spot any imperfections and new cars and ina spot any imperfections and new cars and in a world where we are buying more and more things online at a distance, these could be useful for producing condition report for second hand car options. But much of the car innovation on display at ces was of the self driving range. After all, whoever steals a march in this area will be in the best position to tap into the billions that this sector offers. It is taking longer to perfect them than some realised, it is all about data from testing, testing, and more testing. Which is why, although private companies are at the vanguard, behind the scenes, the big nations are facing off to
provide the most favourable regulations. The big rivals here, you probably guessed it. The us and china. The us was initially quicker to grant licenses companies, but its superpower rival has also woken up with big deregulation plans of its own. The huge corporations on the frontline, alibaba, google, ford, and more are now battling to capitalise, to hone their algorithms and create the first truly autonomous road vehicle. Stephen beckett visited one of the Global Leaders and Autonomous Vehicles to find out more. This is the south of china. About 70 five miles upriver from hong kong it is one of chinas biggest and most developed cities. Home to around 40 million people, and now it is one of a handful of
cities in china running large scale trails of self driving cars on public street. This is pony ai. You may not have heard of them but here because have site in the area around their head office. 0ver because have site in the area around their head office. Over the last year they have been running and Autonomous Taxi Service in the city. At the moment, the trail is only open to selected family and friends of tony ai employees. Pretty good deal though if you can get access because it is completely free. With just a few taps on an app, and autonomous taxi will come straight to you. So this is operating all around the district, mainly the urban bit. So we have quite a lot of choice of where we can go. Which shall we go . That is a bit creepy. The driver has got his hands and a kind of ready to go position. There is some chap driving on the wrong
side of the road just there. The car did slow down a little bit. Breaking, but seem to have got through that one unscathed. Some of the things just dont happen anywhere else in the world. But making sure vehicles like these are safe enough to rome free without a backup operator is the next big challenge for Autonomous Car companies around the world. This man leads the engineering operation here at pony so its hisjob leads the engineering operation here at pony so its his job to leads the engineering operation here at pony so its hisjob to make leads the engineering operation here at pony so its his job to make this at pony so its his job to make this a reality. Sometimes and each different city, the traffic and driving behaviours are totally different, then say in the us and usually they obey the traffic a lot more and attempt to lane change, but in china, the driving behaviour is
more aggressive so it is sometimes unpredictable, especially for cyclists, so you have to put everything into consideration. Its something that they keep telling me has to data is richer than data in the us. Right now, most self driving Car Companies are focused on getting their vehicles to work on their home countries but once that has figured out the rest of the world is next. And it could be that because trained on unpredictable chinese roads will stand a better chance in places like india and africa. Pony ai stand a better chance in places like india and africa. Pony al was founded in 2016, it is only three years old. Because the roads in america are a bit predictable than they are here in china, do you think men they will get to the self driving dream first because the problem is a bit easier in america . Actually, we think differently, because in china is of a challenge. I would say we drive one kilometre on chinese public road, it is like ten times more value than driving one kilometre in united states. That is why we can improve faster. This screen here is designed to give the passenger an idea of what the car itself can see. That car, this car in front of us is represented on here as a different coloured lock. 0h, here as a different coloured lock. Oh, you see, that was an interesting situation. These guys are pulling up, this car is coming up on our right, but the car managed to handle it stopping the driver didnt have to step in. We want to go here, i think that is why it is confused. This is a pretty confusing situation even for a human. You can see why it is confused because it wants to go
in here, and there is a lane of traffic there, so i think that is probably what i would have done as well. I am pretty impressed, probably what i would have done as well. Iam pretty impressed, it handled a view tricky situations, we had a guy on the other side of the road but it didnt do anything that felt dangerous which i think is the main thing. It wasnt exactly like a human driver, still some of the way it moves, the decisions are made, probably would feel a bit unusual to you if you were used to a human driver, but it is on the way. When it comes to technologies that are consumer facing, they dont have any obvious political impact or anything to do with content, the Chinese Government is very relaxed about letting entrepreneurs innovate first, seeing what happens and maybe regulating later. And that often is the opposite sequence to what happens in the uk or the us where governments will get ahead of
potential problems for example self driving cars, and permit regulations first and the industry follows. The reality is that for a long time, china was lagging behind and autonomous technology, but as we know, when china makes a decision to do something as it has here, things can happen very quickly. At the southern end of the Las Vegas Strip as the mandalay bay hotel. 0n 0ctober one, 2017 this was the scene ofa 0ctober one, 2017 this was the scene of a tragedy. The uss deadliest ever met shooting. A gunman in one of the rooms opened fire on a crowd of the rooms opened fire on a crowd of concert goers across the road. He killed 58 people and injured more than 400. The incident sparked a review of security across the city
but now it is being taken further. Richard taylor has been looking at whether technology can stop would be perpetrators in their tracks. Has the dilemma. How do you keep the Worlds Entertainment capital safe without turning it into a Party Pooping security fortress. Patriot one believes it has the answer. Using unobtrusive sensors which generate information feed which can be assessed to see if someone is carrying a weapon. This vegas casino resort is now rolling out of the technology which has been in testing for the past two years. We have got various bits of hardware here. The system various bits of hardware here. The syste m ca n various bits of hardware here. The system can be placed in a building entrance or a turnstile and unlike a metal detector, it creates an invisible fence he wouldnt even know was that copy fim carrying a concealed weapon on my person, with
still intent on an act of violence, the system as it is deployed here invisibly and these planters, the ai making a determination of whether this is benign and alerting security authorities to take the relevant action. The cat scan device works on several levels. The one thing emits residents frequency patterns that identify the shape of an object stopping another sensor creates a Magnetic Field and detect disturbances as an object passes through. But the real smart lie in the ai algorithms. Within seconds, they assess the data against its own database to figure out if weapons are being hidden. With daily shootings in the us and knife crime epidemic in the uk, the alloy to keep us safe is certainly set up. We wa nt keep us safe is certainly set up. We want to be in public schools,
hotels, university campuses. We are now in the business of rolling it out stopping the uk market will be extremely important to us, particularly when it comes to knives because of the knife crime crisis, and in fact knives are being used by terrorist groups for mass attacks. But groundbreaking is the tech is, it is largely unproven. How accurate is your system . Because when it comes to ai, the machine is only as is the data that you are feeding it. We have been out for a long time with tremendous partners who have allowed us to get a lot of data here stop at the university of north da kota ha 5 stop at the university of north dakota has been hugely supportive in that way. We have built sufficiently large Data Holdings that we now have confidence in the accuracy of our systems. Enough confidence that we are now into our first commercial deployment. 0ur early adopters also understand that the systems get better and better the more data is
fed in, so they are equally allowing us fed in, so they are equally allowing us to ingest data for training the system. The system isnt what hundred accurate or foolproof, and a salad may well get into the premises and way entirely or the weapon may be hidden in Something Different like a metal box. An additional security layer is needed. If im openly brandishing a weapon, that is where the eyes of the system kick in, a so called Machine Vision where a Security Camera can make an assessment based on what is in my hand based on what is in its database hand based on what is in its data base and if hand based on what is in its database and if it finds it is likely to be a weapon, then it will trigger a relevant alert. The idea of augmenting human eyes with this months of Computer Vision is catching on globally. A number of outfits promising enhanced security for a person and object detection. Understandably, that leaves many people uneasy. We are very conscious of the fact that people dont want to live in a mass Surveillance Society but there are very two different ways in which we conduct
two cover data. We dont capture any personal information or store or distribute personal information. We are looking for objects, people are of no interest to us unless they are carrying a freight object. What our ai has been trained to recognise is the difference. It is not making any determination on people and two or capturing personal information ordering body image. That puts us on the right side of that line between too much surveillance and not enough security. Hello and welcome to the week in technology. It was the week that us President Donald Trump clashed with apple over the tech giants data encryption rules. Apple refuses to unlock iphones in relation to criminal investigation citing privacy concerns. Microsoft and its support for windows seven after ten yea rs support for windows seven after ten years many support for windows seven after ten yea rs many users support for windows seven after ten years many users will no longer receive security updates. Uks
national Cyber Security centre is recommending windows seven users replace the unsupported devices as soon as they can. Londons Heathrow Airport is following a new anti drone system that will allow it to pinpoint and operate aircraft and their pilots. Move comes at airports are looking to increasingly prevent drone disruption following a temporary closure at gatwick at 2018. Tesla cars are being unable to talk to pedestrians in a baffling british accent. In true knight rider fashion, Tesla Ceo Elon musk tweeted a video to die, because speaking speaking to passers by. The feature will be used to talk to other road users and pedestrians as well as provide a flatulence function. What a time to be alive. And finally, if youve ever wondered whether your pet pooch would enjoy a podcast, its modify has introduced a new range of personalised playlist for pets. At playlist is a new variance west modify playlist can get a curated playlist for their pets based on their tastes and character
attributes. It sounds anybody . Pet sounds. There is just so there isjust so much there is just so much to see here that ive been getting my hands on, is and eyes and nose and mouth onto wea ra bles. Is and eyes and nose and mouth onto wearables. First up, know this is not a wearables. First up, know this is nota pairof wearables. First up, know this is not a pair of goggles it is the prototype of an air purifying mask. The finished product will look like this. With claims it is 50 times more effective than at the market leading cycling mask the a0 air uses nanotechnology and at pressure to filter out harmful particular matter. 0nce described as a multistage filtration system, it provides the process of our being sucked in. That air will then be cleaned and pushed out the front, creating your own environment of qr, clea n creating your own environment of qr, clean air. Currently, the prototype
isa clean air. Currently, the prototype is a lot less comfortable than the finished version and this is a size too large and i need a smaller ones. I feel like my nose too large and i need a smaller ones. Ifeel like my nose is being held andi ifeel like my nose is being held and i probably sound like that. It will take some getting used to but it is actually adjusting according to my respiration rate to right now the fan speed is at 16 . I can make the fan speed is at 16 . I can make the fan speed is at 16 . I can make the fan go up more if i want more airto be pumped. I the fan go up more if i want more air to be pumped. Ifeel like at the dentist. Imagine what i could do. I certainly couldnt run like this but may write a bike. I dont know. It is not just about the device may write a bike. I dont know. It is notjust about the device but also about collecting data, localised air quality data and also respiratory information. There are some plans to use that for some Health Technology in the future, particularly in regards to meditation. It has five hours battery life and in time, the device will be militarised. Despite the fa ct will be militarised. Despite the fact that i thought i looked com pletely fact that i thought i looked completely and utterly ridiculous, it is actually made it to the catwalk, featuring in new york and seoulfashion weeks. Back catwalk, featuring in new york and seoul fashion weeks. Back on the show floor, there was also the sixth
vendor. This is a device for people who have limited mobility in 1 handed so could be due to a stroke or Something Like that. The way it works is that you position the bad hand where it needs to grab something and this joystick, which will be held in the good hand, is used to be able to close the device so you can actually pick something up. One of the other benefits of this is that it actually encourages somebody to use a hand which is an functioning problem, properly rather than holding their arm in a position where it is likely to get stiffer. In the depths of something slightly more secret, came this view into the future. This is a contact lens that provides augmented reality. Apparently, it its like any other scleral or semipermeable contact lens. This could be used for translation where the words would come up when you are having a conversation with someone. The idea is that this is all about invisible computing, that Something Like this should be less intrusive than having
your phone in front of you. Wow that is incredible in our way, the fa ct that is incredible in our way, the fact that there is little enough information for a not to be totally distracting makes it better. I think they put too much up it would become too overwhelming. While i wasnt allowed to wear it, just holding it up, icould allowed to wear it, just holding it up, i could see some simple starts right before my eyes. Which havent been sceptical in advance, i was pretty blown away by. How is it possible to fit all of this into the lens . We had to build our own wi reless protocol lens . We had to build our own wireless protocol between the contact wireless protocol between the co nta ct le ns wireless protocol between the contact lens and another wearable a ccesso ry contact lens and another wearable accessory because we had to manage power and data and size of chip and that accessory connects to your mobile phone or the cloud, to access additional computer information. It is very comfortable and correct your vision when you wear it. If you have a prescription, we build up a script and into the lands. Heart rate data,
speed, and even with your eyes shut, you would able to see this because it is lit up and obviously the lens is sitting beneath your eyelid stop it feels seriously a sci fi. And there you have it, what to wear to see and feel the future. There, never take that before. Think about coming to las vegas straight after christmas is you eat lots of food followed by lots more food. And chris has decided that he is going to use technology to help knocking back into shape. This is what he has found. These three new apps are designed to help with your fitness goals using Image Recognition, Machine Learning and motion sensors. Are any of these apps advanced enough to replace a personal
trainer. Ive come to the gym to find out. First up, is based sports which uses Image Recognition and a stealthy camera to make sure youre doing the exercises properly. You choose a trainer and put the phone a few metres away and follow the instructions in your head spun two headphones. Rate i can see you. Get into the starting position. Based on what the camera says, the app gives you feedback to correct your form. You call that a wrap, your hips are too high up. Also counts how many reps you do properly so you can trap your progress. Reps must work. The app only works of body weight exercise at the moment so to move on to wait training im trying this app which is over jewel to wait training im trying this app which is overjewel trainer to wait training im trying this app which is over jewel trainer you to wait training im trying this app which is overjewel trainer you can talk to. Im done. Rest for two minutes. How many wraps that ten. Well done lets do another set. The app creates a bespoke workout tailored to your goals and it
remembers how well you did last time so you dont have to log your workout or write anything down. wa nt workout or write anything down. want you to add another five kilograms to each side of the bar. Hit when you are done. To relax, finishing off with some yoga stop this is yoga not sure which uses motion tracking sensors to correct my position and my form which fair warning is going to be terrible. Not quite. Give me the chime, im doing it. I got a chime, quite. Give me the chime, im doing it. I gota chime, i did it quite. Give me the chime, im doing it. I got a chime, i did it right. Im not sure whether setting up their senses every time will take some of these and out of yoga although the company says it is more accurate than using Image Recognition. 0h, on. These apps certainly add a layer of interactivity to a workout but can they match the kind of encouragement you get from a human Personal Trainer . You can train just as effectively barren mind that it is able to process huge amounts of information very specific to you and it is with you all the time stop and
there you have it, the downward facing dog from a forward facing fox. Was much easier . I know, we are in vegas. Although next week, we wont be. Were to los angeles. And with 05car season just around the corner, for us, that means we start our very corner, for us, that means we start our very special look behind the scenes at the best, most innovative work in visual effects that is up for awards this year. I cannot wait please dojoin us for awards this year. I cannot wait please do join us then, for awards this year. I cannot wait please dojoin us then, in for awards this year. I cannot wait please do join us then, in the meantime, you can find us all across social media, youtube, instagram, facebook and twitter at bbc click. Thanks for watching and we will see you in los angeles. Hello. Friday was a day of sunny spells and some blustery showers, but that weekend is upon us and there is a change. Drier and sunnier throughout. Some night time frost is the other face of winter that we havent seen much of so far this year. Still a north westerly ushering in showers to the north and north east of scotland, but elsewhere, after a chilly start with frost for some, it is a dry, fine, crisp day. Forget all about the double figure temperatures, despite the sunshine, six, seven or eight will be your maximum. A widespread frost to get you into the first part of sunday. The one exception, the southerly breeze and the cloud, will keep things on the mild side. Maybe a wee bit cloudier across the north and north west of scotland. Elsewhere it is another gloriously sunny day. Again, those temperatures around 6 8. The southern half of the uk sees another frost on monday morning. Watch out for some fog patches. Another dry, bright day for many. Training the system. Welcome to bbc news, im simon pusey.
