This is bbc news. The headlines as one of the largest hospitals in the world opens in london to treat 4,000 coronavirus patients, people in the uk are being urged to stay at home this weekend to try to stop the spread of covid 19. Britains Health Secretary said the advice was not a request but an instruction. President trump has announced new recommendations for americans to wear masks when they go outside to slow the spread of the virus. Us Health Officials have advised people to cover their faces but to keep medical grade masks free for health workers. Although, mr trump stressed the suggestion wasnt compulsory. And the head of the imf has said the coronavirus pandemic had created an economic crisis like no other. Kristalina georgieva said that never in the history of the imf had the World Economy come to a standstill. More than 90 countries have asked the organisation for help. Now on bbc news, its time for click. This week dial up internet, apple releases the ipod, very tight suits and furry friends. It is clicks 20th anniversary and these are our greatest hits. Welcome to click, im spencer kelly. 0n the sixth of april 2000, a plucky new tv programme hit the air, promising to talk
about something that many people, many in the media thought was too scary, too nerdy technology. No one thought that programme would last more than a couple of years and yet 20 years later, click is still on air. Just. Because its impossible to believe that were celebrating our 20th birthday in a world that seems eerily similar to those dystopian sci fi films that we geeks grew up on. Like many programmes, were going to find it hard to stay but, for old times sake, because its our birthday, we going to forget about it all and take one last look at click through the ages. Get ready for 20 years in 20 minutes. Click 0nline. It is the age old story, bbc launches new. Com programme,. Com bubble immediately bursts. Was it ourfault . Probably. Yet stephen and his team were ready to take apart any tech they could get their hands on. Episode one featured two polar opposite housestyles, explaining how to copy photos of those newfangled digital cameras and a review of the upcoming playstation two, conducted on the boot of a car. The new millennium was often running with the latest pocket pcs, the very hottest fashion and a man trapped in a pda. Home computers were helping to make music, which could be listened to on whatever that is. And stored on sd cards with a massive 64 megabytes yes and thats not all. Slot the card in, stick in headphones on and youre away, free to jog, do whatever you want. Home internet was about to get a lot faster too is one of the Backstreet Boys showed you how to switch your computer from dial up to superfast broadband. By 2001, south korea was already going nuts for online games and injapan, shy boys were honing their chat up lines by texting computerised girls. Richard was exploring online markets while trying to buy a house online. £140,000 . Not a chance these days. And for a short time, this was the future. Wed all be living in three the world stressed in flashy close or penguin outfits. Then, along came apple to really rocked the world. The ipod was born and the decade it was defined. Its 2002 and were really hitting out right now. As are the robots. But in the days when 36 was still in its infancy, there was a cunning way some of you are getting online, by finding an unsecured Wi Fi Network using a metal snack tube and then war chalking it on the pavement for everyone else to find. Cunning. Richard went undercover in kong to infiltrate the world of software
and dvd piracy. And in fact, the whole spy thing looked like such fun that everyone played dress up and tried to do Mission Impossible on a budget of 10p. And as we try to explain what you could do with the worlds most powerful supercomputer, we enlisted the help of a young, rising star who was about to go universal. The idea is to look at a model of the global climate, the earth. At the moment, models away the atmosphere works and the oceans. They are based on dividing the earth into grids and then you can focus in on very small phenomena. Like your beautiful hair, brian. 2003 rolls around and before anyone was talking around the cloud, this chap turns up wearing it. Im not sure what happened to him, but the shirt lives on. Burned into the back of peoples residents to this day. David reid opted to get measured for a more sober costume, thats what he was awakened. And in your spare time, this was the amazing content that we were recommending online. You can even get interactive and play the panpipes using your mouth. Thank you sam, thank you partners. The budget wouldnt stretch to a horse. Kate rolled into town for the first time and rob was creating his own ringtones and chris and simon demonstrated the very latest, portable photo scanner. In 2004, we bought ourselves a dam. Here he is out looking for toilet roll and the only thing left in the tens goods iowas google soup. I tell you what we wont short of though, nokias. When three of us around the world owned a nokia who were surely going to be around forever. Talking of things vanishing
without a trace, here is richard in japan supporting pretty much the opposite of a high vis jacket. And here is Something Else none of us should have had to say. The proposal was another piece of technological creativity. I designed a flowery montage and beamed it to my pda when she least expected it. Ian hardys wedding report not at all toe curling. But at least we didnt have to see him in the bath, oh, there he is and areas again, this time appearing as a mekong on the Worlds Largest display in las vegas in 2005. Its the year we saw hints of tv on mobile and tv in animals. In india, we saw rural villages starts to get access to the internet, health information, and education. By the way, this is the best mobile phone there has ever been. 0k. But we also saw the dangers of sending out unwanted tech to poorer countries without thinking of the consequences. In the cities, indias poor scrape
a living by breaking down pcs and monitors. But what they dont realise is that the toxic chemicals inside, like cadmium and lead, can pose Serious Health risks. And as always, japan was a joyous glimpse of what happens when you embrace Technology Without fear. An attitude i think we could all deal with every now and then. Watch out, here comes 2006 with a new look, a new host, and some stunningly expensive special effects. We talk a rare peak into the new Technology Superpower that was, and is, china. Before the kindle, we are already looking at the e Paper Technology that would power it and as phone companies struggled desperately to become smart, we tried out some of the new designs, including a touchscreen device that was not a million miles away from apples forthcoming world changer. 2007 africa, and we were testing
cameras in the wild. Fortunately, we werent eaten by anything anonymous unless you count a giant pacman. Ill see you in london. Its that way, i think. In namibia, we tracked miles in crazy solar hats to try out our satellite broadband in the desert. Either it is going to blow up or a have a lock. This years hot topic was piracy websites and in particular, the protests outside the Swedish Parliament that wallowed the pirate bay being shut down. Chris used the age old coffee jar analogy to see which disc format was going to win. Hd dvd, or blu ray . The answer, streaming. We saw misbehaving furniture in San Francisco and then dan came across a Small Company that have something electrifying in its garage. It looked as another five years for tesla to start delivering its saloon car
but this one it really did set the balls in motion. Talking of balls, here is the beginning of live on set motion capture demonstrated by some idiot in a very tight suit. And then of course there was that new phone from that company. And that was when everything changed. In 2008, the rest of the mobile phone companies tried to play catch up. Touchscreens were everywhere, the mobile web was getting there but surely the iphone couldnt slay all of the established phone makers . And nokia, which sells more phones in one week than apple does in a year, will have its own touchscreen rival by december. Hmm. But as we started to spend more time online, our digitalfootprints were leaving behind significant clues about us. And we decided to show how your personal data could be scraped and used by anyone who knew how to write a facebook app. We wrote an evil application which secretly collected the personal details of you and your friends and sent them to us. Fortunately, facebook closed that hole and no one has ever used our personal data against us since. Hey there, and welcome to the week in tech. It was the week that the uks main internet providers agreed to remove data fixed line broadband during the current ice pandemic. A zoom customer is suing the video call company, claiming that a sharing of data to facebook is a violation of user privacy. We got in touch with zoom who said the Facebook Software Development Kit has since been removed from the up. And the owner of the video chat app house party has offered 1 million to anyone who can show evidence of who was the victim of a commercial smear campaign. As well as claims that downloading apps linked to other services such as netflix and spotify being hacked. It was also the week that robot cars started patrolling the streets of tunisia in an effort to enforce the countrys lockdown, remote controlled vehicles now approached people on the street asking why theyre outside. Engineers at stanford have developed an ankle exoskeleton that can be struck to a users leg to make running easier. It has a cable which runs up the back of the leg, extending the ankle as the toes push off the ground. And finally, is video calling getting a little bit boring now . Well, you could always, i dont know, chat to a goat . The sweet Farm Sanctuary in california has made their animals available online. Called gotomeeting, it also teaches appearances from other barnyard animals. Well, not such a bad idea. Right, lets get back to it. 2009 was patchy and japan was as brilliantly japanese ever. Augmented reality was a reality. Home internet
was getting so fast we couldnt think what we would need it for but then smart tvs arrived and it turned out the answer was, everything. 3d television had resurfaced like some blurry White Elephant with stupid glasses. We told you it would never catch on. I told that to this guy, too, but daneil ek didnt listen and spotify became anything anyway. I have no idea whats going on right now. If a new decade and 2010 starts with a bang. Well, a crack, actually, as dan is told this phone is completely unbreakable, so he broke it. Ive actually broke on the phone do not challenge us. A music with lightning . Check. Go skiing in the dubai desert . Of course. Make high tech fashion look cool as
denmark um. There is mark scavenging with his name. Now bungee is out of the halo business, what happens to the stars of its games . The spacefaring super soldiers, the spartans . Window cleaning and elevator attendance, apparently. But the year was once again dominated by apple, this time going big on ta blets. Apple, this time going big on tablets. But just the apple, this time going big on tablets. Butjust the next year, the man who had led the company from next to nothing to global domination left us. Steve jobs, next to nothing to global domination left us. Stevejobs, the biggest tech superstar of his time. Also in 2011, lara joined the team and immediately went for a lie down. The trouble is i often get up at 3 30am to talk about the weather. Good morning you remember the weather, dont you . Its the thing that is outside . And in the year of wiggly
robots, holographic tv and cheap costu me robots, holographic tv and cheap costume hire, we went looking for the next big thing. Here it is. The truly portable smartphone viewing, this television heart. Sorry, here it is. Imagine wearable, bendable and colour changeable tech . The breakthrough could be a material called graphene. Down there, taking rare time on his now pathological need to destroy technology. In 2012, mark demonstrated the standard tween the games consoles using the medium of the spaghetti western. Special guest star, mario. And the rolling out a new universal id scheme farmers were altering their crops using Text Messages copyjust a shame that now wasnt up to much. We also saw elephant collars and smart
water pumps and could you make a film on a mobile phone in 2012 no absolutely not. So we did, with special effect. You are welcome. By 2013, 3d printing was churning out all sorts of weird stuff including bits for planes and space rivers. Talking of which, heres another numberfrom talking of which, heres another number from marks dressing talking of which, heres another numberfrom marks dressing up as he went full 2001 to look at the new xbox 0ne. Went full 2001 to look at the new xbox one. And yes, that is what he wears when he goes to the shops nowadays. Wouldnt save him from the attack of the giant robot spiders, though. But right now, when our biggest enemy is a tiny virus, i remember this trip to the deep frozen blood banks of iceland weird eco genetics were at the forefront of research into why each of us does 01 of research into why each of us does or doesnt suffer from certain diseases. Back in 2014, though, nothing could be furtherfrom our
minds, as we hopped on l1 wheels and headed to australia. They were also studying how bushfires behave to help the authorities predict who to evacuate, and when. Injapan, dan got his hands on the worlds first sg transmitter. This now fits in your phone. I did some air graffiti, la ra your phone. I did some air graffiti, lara did the windows and lj got a facelift. C, itold lara did the windows and lj got a facelift. C, i told you she was a cyborg. Talking of which. In 2014, drones were everywhere. They were literally falling out of the sky. In israel, jim scared the life out of a bmp israel, jim scared the life out of a lamp and we saw the first self driving car that could handle junctions. Unlike mark. Watch out mark, there is a visual effect straight ahead 2015 was a vintage
year. South korea served up robots that hunted jellyfish, and a sports tournament where the teams were kept inafish tournament where the teams were kept in a fish tank and flying hairdryers. And who could forget hugo, the robot that made me lose my faculties in the middle of a part copy in spain, we filmed a whole programme on mobile. Dont do it, it was awful. What do you mean everyone is having to do it, these days . Japan, brilliant. Full of fake cats and longplaying robots. I was even checked out by a dinosaur. Artificial intelligence was becoming huge and steve created one that learned to walk. Fear was going mainstream, kate was making it out of cardboard and mark was falling
for it in a big way. A actually try to lean on the table there. We thought nothing could top 2015, but then along came 2016. We saw the large hadron collider, and i had a moment. We went live for the first time and alcohol audience had one, and we became the first show to be filmed entirely in 360. We made brand new friends. Filmed entirely in 360. We made brandnew friends. Wow its. Lara lewington from bbc click. Never heard of that. We saw such inspiring stories, but for me one of the highlights was the sub athlon where disabled athletes and robotics engineers work together. By 2017 we were starting to get the sense that something was going wrong. Fake news was the talk of the town, and Cambridge Analytica were being accused of messing with our brains. Dont mess with daves the brain or he will mess with yours. And dont mess with kats or she will do serious damage. Talking of damage, this is the year the robots storm the castle. Thats the first guest we have lost as i recall. Space was hotting up with all kinds of plans to explore the solar system, and land on other worlds. Its bouncy and then there was fukushima. I climbed under a Nuclear Reactor and saw the robots that they are hoping will clean up the melted radioactive fuel. Nothing i can add to that sentence will make it sound any more impressive. But perhaps more than anything, this scene now sticks in my mind. The site of an abandoned nearby town. A scene that now seems uncomfortably close to home. What i am standing on is less than one millimetre thick, and it really feels it. Protecting the environment has become a more and more urgent tasks, and we have seen our fair share of green tag over the years. Green tech. Here is lara honourfloating solar farm in norway. In some ways 2018 was pretty wet all around. Steve did a vr waterslide because why not, and here is nick on a jet powered water board, because, jet powered water board. If we had let him he would have gone on this as well. He is off look at him go that is amazing see you later, i am off on the hover board. Not everything was as it seemed. Mark entered the largest green screen studio in the world and swears that he pulls this off first time. laughs and the crowd goes wild seriously, dont believe your eyes. The rise of deepfakes meant that face swappping was reality. There were anyone who thought this was the best way to demonstrate it needs their head examined. We did a lot in 2018, a lot of it in slow motion. But once again you have to headed to the japanese. This put Everything Else in the shade. Are they working . I can see your microphone, and i can see that you are smiling, and i can see there is a lady in the front with a red jacket, the guy next to her is wearing stripes oh my god its so amazing. Remember maisie . We do. She broke our hearts and mended them all in one go, as she got to read her favourite book for the First Time Since she lost her sight. 2019 was an emotional year really, we hid a continuous run of 1000 shows, celebrating by making an interactive adventure that was the hardest programme we have ever made. 50 years after the arguably greater achievement of landing on the moon, lj bounced her voice off it. Hello moon people and we got to see the vehicles we will be travelling into space in next. Feel the forces in your tailbone. I feel the forces in my tailbone as could 0mar. Plenty of forces there i would have thought. I would say there is nothing we wont do for click. A programme that has allowed us to live out our wildest, most childish dreams and which has driven us mad and kept us sane every week for longer than anyone would have imagined. For however long you have been on this journey with us, i hope you have enjoyed the ride. Such great memories. It has been a huge privilege for us to see these incredible things and share them with you over the past two decades. The world has changed a lot in the last 20 years,
but right now it is changing in a way i dont think many of us have seen in our lifetimes. And that means that click has to change too. Like many of you, the team are now separated and isolated, and that means it is going to be nearly impossible for us to make a weekly programme. So we have taken the difficult decision. To flipping well carry on. In the last 20 years, we have pioneered ways of making programmes in bizarre and impossible circumstances, so if anyone can do it, we can. You have given us 20 years, its the least we can do for you. I dont know what next weeks click
is going to look like yet but i promise you this, there will be a click next week. So thank you, from all of us, thank you for watching, thank you for being there. And we will see you soon. Yes, our weather is turning warmer this weekend, but of course we follow the rules, we stay at home and we improvise. Whatever your view on the weather outside, it will be sunnier by sunday and out there it will be warmer, it will also be windier as well with pollen levels heading up. The big picture shows High Pressure to the east of us, low pressure approaching
from atlantic, and ahead of that will strengthen the southerly flow, of course that is a warm direction, so it will be a warm wind on sunday, lifting temperatures in the sunnier parts of Eastern England to around 20, maybe 21 celsius. That said, there will be a touch of frost in places as saturday begins, cooler than this in the countryside, so some spots close to freezing. There will be a few mist and fog patches out there, more especially towards the midlands in southern england. Some rain in northern scotland will set on across the northern isles, still the odd shower in scotland and northern england, from what will be a good deal of cloud, some sunny spells, elsewhere in england and wales there will be increasing sunshine as we go through the day. While all parts are going to be milder, it is particularly across england and wales where we will notice those temperatures into the mid teens. But also a freshening southerly wind, a sign of things to come as we get deeper into the weekend. 0vernight and into sunday morning, although there is plenty of cloud around, enough wind to stop the temperature going down too far so we are frost free as sunday begins, and sunday will deliver plenty of sunshine. While most places will hold onto that sunshine, the further west you are you will see it clouding
over and it may well start to get a bit of rain later in the day, northern ireland, parts of western scotland, the far west of england and wales, some uncertainty about the timing of the arrival of any rain from the area of low pressure i showed you earlier. What is certain is that the wind will pick up more on sunday, gusts across Western Areas later in the day near 50 miles an hour but it will be warmer across all parts, particularly in that sunshine, across eastern parts of england we could see around 21 celsius. But pollen levels will be higher and particularly in england and wales. Into next week, sunday night into monday, we will see from that area of low pressure a band of rain spread east across the uk, behind that as it clears on monday, sunshine returns, it will be cooler before temperatures head up again as the week goes on. This is bbc news, broadcasting to viewers in the uk and around the world. Im simon pusey. Our top stories one of the Worlds Largest hospitals opens in london to treat 4,000 coronavirus patients, and theres a stern warning for people in britain to stay indoors this weekend. This advice is not a request. It is an instruction. Stay at home, protect lives, and then you will be doing your part. As the us suffers its worst daily death toll from coronavirus, Americas Health watchdog says people should wear face masks when they go out but the president doesnt seem to agree. So, with the the masks, its going to be really a voluntary thing
