Now on bbc news, click visits the aboriginal and Torres Strait islander communities in australia where Suicide Rates amongst young people are very high, to look at whether tech can offer some help. This week connecting at risk communities. Throwing some shapes in the living room. So begins the end and oh, good to see my mums on tv again growls. Hey, welcome to click i dont know what it is like where you are but things still feel a bit up and down to me at the moment. Some are heading into new lockdowns, some are coming out of lockdowns, some have access to the vaccine and some dont. But you mayjust be feeling now like there is some light at the end of the tunnel. But of course for many, the impact on their Mental Health has been huge, and thats not necessarily going to ease just because lockdown is. And, of course, people may have many other struggles to deal with as well. And thats what our first piece this week is about. Its from nick kwek in australia and its about suicide, so its going to discuss some issues that you may find upsetting. Aboriginal and Torres Strait islander people are twice as likely to end their own lives as non indigenous australians, and the majority of them are young men. Some are even younger. Now, the government and other organisations are looking at ways that technology could help. Heres nick. Theres been heaps of funerals. Its just a vicious cycle. There was one year here. In community where we had about eight or nine suicides. And itjust became the norm. And i feel like theyre getting younger and younger and when you hear about them, you know, nine, ten years old, i committing suicide i remember myself as nine or ten years old, i didnt. Even know what that was. Suicide is the leading cause of death among young australians. For indigenous people, the statistics are even more shocking with almost one in 20 taking their lives. Cultural dislocation, personaltrauma, ongoing disadvantage and racism arejust some contributing factors. My mothers kamilaroi and my fathers madi madi tadi tadi latje latje. Quite often as an aboriginal person, the cards are laid out for you. There is a lot of stigma. You start to believe that you are no good or it is cursed to be an aboriginal person or they say its cursed to be black and i suppose i wanted to build visual dreaming for our Younger Generation to be proud of who they are and to be comfortable in their own skin and to be in a world where were all equal. Leanne is the founder of visual dreaming, an online social and Support Network where users set goals and receive encouragement from Community Elders who, in turn, connect them with tradition. You want someone to ask if you are ok but you cannot actually get the words out of your mouth to say im not ok. And so from discussion with young ones, we found that they would be more comfortable to communicate that through their phone. Cheryl has been helping develop the app. Like weve done for thousands of years, our elders have guided our young people so. But theres just been a bit of a disconnect, so i think it is really important that we can start in some way to bring that back together. A really good friend of mine, a younger one, she killed herself and that was heartbreaking, you know . A young woman in her 30s, in the prime of her life. Theres been heaps of funerals. Its a problem within our aboriginal communities and its everybodys problem and we just need to identify it and the app is the ideal thing to start educating community. I worked in health for 28 years. These younger people have got no employment, theres no incentive to get out of bed of a morning or anything like that, you know . It is just a vicious cycle. Bernard ended up in the Emergency Department three years ago after a suicide attempt. Do you think if you had an app like this back then, it would have made a difference . If i had Something Like the app and the connections with elders and stuff that i have now, it would have been night and day difference. If someone else can see that you are struggling and they reach out to you and go hey, im noticing you maybe be having a tough time, it sort of can break through the darkness and then go oh, someone actually does care. So what was your inspiration behind starting visual dreaming . When i used to hear about suicide, i used to be quite sad for the families, until you go through it yourself oh, my god and you see how much a. How much itjust takes, um. Just changes your world. When dallas passed away, i had been through my own Mental Health journey and i really got scared that i was going to get sick again and ijust turned my pain into solution to be able to honour him. Weve just got to try something. Leanne isnt alone. Mental health non profit the black Dog Institute has trialling similar support Services Like ibobbly with encouraging early results. Using the app you feel like youre having a yarn with a family member. The institute has also rolled out Classroom Software in schools that aims to screen for depression and anxiety in teenagers, allowing counsellors to intervene. And in a research project, its also trialling computer assisted monitoring of cctv footage of A Sydney Suicide Hot Spot to ultimately prevent deaths. For every one suicide, there are over 20 attempts, so documenting these properly is crucial to understanding the issue. Addiction Research BodyTurning Point has been manually analysing Ambulance Records pertaining to suicide for years. Now, with backing from google, it is developing an Artificial Intelligence to help workers like melissa. We would be coding their desire to hurt themselves in this state as a suicidal ideation. The a has been trained on several million records and is able to filter out two thirds of them before they reach anyone� s inbox. At around 95 accurate, it is akin to a human annotator. Our a system is built on top of some very complex language models. So hes also had some alcohol, which we will code, and as far as a Mental Health screen, we will code that he is agitated. The project has enlisted the expertise of Monash University and is part of australias First National self harm and suicide monitoring system. As well as informing Government Policy with emerging trends in hot spots, it is hoped the data will lead to better targeted responses. A real concern and we have to share this is that the ai, in its operating, is going to maybe throw away some critical records. We have to tune what we call the � confidence� The Deep Network has to know what it doesnt know. But and i think we are seeing it in our data they can actually improve on the humans. So it comes from the. Down the road, researchers hope that ai will also be able to frontload difficult and limit intense records to reduce exposure and fatigue. And with australias Suicide Rates continuing to rise, this is an issue where innovation could prove truly vital. Nick there with some sobering stories. And if you have been affected by anything you saw in his report, services that Offer Support can be found at bbc. Co. Uk actionline. Now, throughout the course of the pandemic, many more of us have been making digital doctors appointments and it seems that this is a trend which is not going away. As restrictions ease, it should be getting easier to see a doctor in real life but video consultations, which went mainstream in the pandemic, are here to stay. The likes of push doctor and babylon have offered digital consultations through the Uks National Health Service for some time. But new Specialist Services are on the up too. This Instant Messaging app provides immediate reassurance and guidance from experienced paediatricians. First time mum hannah started using juno after having twins leo and xander. I thought there may be something going on that theyd caught between them, and ijust felt a bit isolated and i really wanted some real time advice. Sometimes, all you need is to be able to say is this normal . So were trying to really filter the things that parents dont need to worry about and escalate the things that they do need to worry about and actually, Instant Messaging is a really good way of doing that. Until now, juno has been free but it is due to become a subscription service, and its 12 hours a day support is set to become available 2a 7. There is definitely a chance that parents might overuse it and create more worry. There is also no guarantee that you will get the same consultant every time. But the check up i did for my 8 year old daughters eczema did go smoothly. I uploaded some photographs you can upload video as well if you want to and the consultation did provide me with a really useful treatment plan. The only issue was that if i was then to use the cream i needed, well, i still would need a prescription from a doctor to be able to get it. But this is notjust about healthcare for kids. Lots of nhs apps now help with specific conditions, connecting you to experts and other patients going through the same illnesses. So googling to find resources and find information for your Condition Topic can be a wild west and it can be scary. The social Network Health unlocked has 700 condition focused online communities, and they are all monitored by official health charities. So you are connecting with a group of thousands of other patients with a collective experience of, you know, many, many years. The Charity Partners of the communities also provide that extra level of access to resources and knowledge and understanding. Of course, therell always be times when visiting a gp is best, but perhaps the worried hours spent searching symptoms online could soon become a thing of the past as expert answers could just be a few taps away, too. Hello and welcome to the week in tech. It was the week that an ex aide said former President Donald Trump could launch his own social media rival to twitter in the coming months. Elon musk announced it is now possible to buy a tesla with a crypto currency bitcoin. And a new image showing a sharper black hole with a clearer view of Surrounding Magnet Fields was released by the Event Horizon telescope team. It was also the week that facebook discovered that chinese hackers have been targeting uighurs living outside the country. The social Media Network said the malicious activity was coming from a group called evil eye. Malware was spread through fake websites mimicking Popular Turkish and uighur news pages. Facebook is banned in china. Slack released a feature which allowed direct messaging between people at different companies, but said it made a mistake and quickly removed the ability to send a message to people alongside e mail invitations. Concerns were raised that this could lead to harassment. Nintendo and niantic, the Company Behind pokemon go, announced a long term deal to collaborate on augmented reality apps. Their First Release will be a new pikmin mobile ar game, which is due later this year. And finally this week, researchers have revealed theyve found a way to deliver drugs using microscopic robots into the brains of mice. Published in the journal science robotics, microbots coated in e. Coli tricked the Immune System of the mice into attacking them. The microbots managed to cross the Blood Brain Barrier to deliver drugs targeted at hard to reach tissues. These ultra close up photos were taken on a smartphone with a microscope camera. This is the 0ppo find x3 pro, and the company says the micro camera can pick up things you cannot see with the naked eye. It is good enough to get right down into the individual fibres of my shirt here. To use it, you need to be about i 3mm away from whatever you are trying to take a picture of, which is very close, so i found it easiest to sort of lean the phone on the item that as i was trying to take a photo of, and then just rock it back and forwards to try to find the sweet spot so you could get everything in focus. 0bviously being that close to the object blocks out all the light, so the lens has a little ring light around it to illuminate the subject. Now, obviously, the first thing i did when i got this was shove it in my eye and try to take an iris photo. This was the best i got. But then i went around the house, taking pictures of literally anything i could find. 0ppo says this is offering 60 times magnification, so its not close enough to see the individual cells in your skin or a plant, but its still very cool. Of course, now the novelty of running around my flat taking pictures of everything has worn off, i am left wondering how useful this is. I can think of some a fee examples where it could be useful if im being generous perhaps if youre trying to identify the stamp on some jewellery, or need a super close up of a Circuit Board to check on your soldering. Maybe theres someone who watching this will be like, oh this is exactly what ive have been looking for on a smartphone that is perfect for taking photos of my Butterfly Collection i dont know 0ppo is promising two versions of android and at least two years of Security Updates for the phone. I remember when apple added a super wide camera to the iphone and social media was flooded with very mundane super wide shots of peoples living rooms. I imagine if this catches on, wed see lots of super close up photos on social media, at least for a few days, but it is always nice to see something new added to a smartphone. Im sure people will get creative with Something Like this and maybe some people will even find it very useful, too. Oh, youre employees . Spencer and romana. Well, head to the boardroom. Dave will see you there. Off we go. Are we going backwards . Today, we are popping into our new office to see what all the fuss is about and oh heres the boss. Can either of you help me to understand these lacklustre results . Run thats the meanest chicken ive ever worked for. Ok, this is corptopia an interactive live play over zoom. Actors take you through the story and every so often, you get to use your facial expressions and hand gestures to play some games. Now, before we started, we were asked to download special animated virtual backgrounds and also facial filters, which are run through the free app snap camera. This is a format it could work for escape rooms, it could work for crime drama, it could work for education, it could work for kids� shows. Giving a stream of work to actors and musicians and production staff, where people could remotely work anywhere to put on these shows regularly. This nutty experience was started through creativexr, a 3 month Acceleration Program which helps artists to create new, immersive projects for the arts and culture scene. Its given funding and mentorship to several projects which begs the question are there any even more immersive experiences in the works . The answer . Of course there are oh, what the heck illjoin in. Which is why later that day, im in my living room prancing about in my dancing pants. Disco music plays. 0h, hello chuckles. Im experiencing dazzle, where im getting on down with some monochromatic movers. Some are human, some are kind of a cross between the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man and the Gorignak Rock Creature from galaxy quest. Id say its a, you know, spectacular, Dazzling Immersive experience which combines elements of performance and costume and sort of theatricality and its a really like a the dazzle ball, the original was a huge party, and were just trying to give you that kind of experience at home. 0oh. This is big psychedelica. Talk of big psychedelics, that is big psychedelia, i assume my goodness, youre enormous there are four scenes to experience, each with a different feel. Here i am accompanied by gianta ross and the supremes, and in this one which feels im on the set of a Broadway Melody Film from the � 30s i get to cancan with some spirals and ballet dance with an enderman from minecraft. Weve been developing a sort of plug in, and this enables us to capture in real time performers in our Motion Capture Studio and we can beam live mocap into the virtual spaces. So instead of seeing pre recorded movement material, you are actually getting live performers. It is a crazy pastime for crazy times and it is an opportunity for artists and performers alike to try something new on a captive audience. A quick reminder, though vr may be immersive but you are not really there, you are really here, so dont get too carried away. Ijust punched the ceiling 0w ah, its all very well that you can mark our your boundaries in vr in the room, but it doesnt account for ceiling height. No, it doesnt and i put a hole in the plasterwork. Dont tell anyone anyway, lets move on lara lewington, i know how you love a good Superhero Movie i was in one superman returns this is true, actually id forgotten this gather round, everyone. This is laras best story ever i dont know about that. I was presenting the weather on the monitor in the daily planet newsroom. Show business well, anyway, superman returned again Injustice League four years ago, along with wonder woman, batman and others, and the response from the audience was. A bit meh. The problem was as the crew finished filming, director zack snyder stepped away from the project for personal reasons. The movie was eventually completed, but with significant changes from snyders Original Vision. The fans went happy, snyder wasnt happy and since then, those fans have been piling on the pressure for zack snyders version of the film with a massive internet campaign. The Hashtag Releasethesnydercut Trended everywhere. And in perhaps the biggest piece of fan Service Since sonic the hedgehogs design was changed, the studio listened and snyder got a chance to make his version. He was given an extra 75 million to complete the movie, and a large chunk of that went on special effects. And now, zack snydersjustice league has been released. But the question is how different is it to the original . This world will fall. Like all the others. Steppenwolf first showed up briefly. The current design, the zack snyder design in the post credit scene on batman versus superman. So that was a nice thing for us that that, just, you know we didnt have to do anything from scratch. It was just kind of a realisation of that design that already existed and making sure that was up to scratch and visual effects, you know, four years is an eternity so making sure since 2017 that it was, looked a plus as far as 2020 technology goes, and then a nice thing from that was so we we did work on the look of him and the way his metal looked in every, uh, and that but i think the most interesting thing was the character was such a different character in this movie that that has a Knock On Effect of facial animation is different and then his body motion is different, hes got this aggressive, active armour and that that turns into being more aggressive in his motion and being, like, Reallyjust Leaning in to him being a different character. One year to the next, we changed the way that we work, we changed the tools that we use tojust keep on iterating and making the end result look better and better, so taking something from, like, three, four years ago and then updating it is actually a huge amount of work. The biggest even in shots where we were supposed to just take steppenwolf and swap him out with a new one. First, nothing ever is ever that easy in visual effects, you know . You pull on a thread of a shot and some, you know, there were a lot of shots we had to just redo completely and then a lot of shots where we just did the whole thing, you know, we had a lot of shots that were just brand new brand new work that needed to be in the movie to tell that story correctly. Zacks got the chance to go back and do his sort of Original Vision for it, which is very big i mean, the movie is nearly four hours long, right . So even scenes that we did have already done in 2017, like the themyscira attack, like the History Lesson scene, those are massively expanded from what they were last time around. So theres shots that were completely new to us, there were shots that were taken to a certain stage in 2017 before they got before they got put on hold, got put on ice, so actually just updating, filling all of that out is a huge amount of work. Darkseid, he actually existed already as well. He was he got to a reasonable point in 2017 before he was cut out and then replaced in those couple of things with steppenwolf. Darkseid was was already developed as a concept, as a character design, fairly early in the process four years ago so really, it was a case of us just, you know, bringing him up to scratch, as kevin was saying and so i guess, yeah, i think the iterations you see, like changing from trailer to the final version of the movie, still is essentially the same character, itsjust we just had a bit more time to finish him off rather than, you know, getting something out for the for a trailer. Its actually more like six months rather than a year that we had to do had to do the work, so itis even a shorter amount of time. Visual effects like being strapped to the front of a speeding train. Both chuckle. And you cant you cant you cant reach the brakes and thats, thats here comes the deadline. 0h, every show, its always like that. The time. Is now. Whats funny is this version is four hours long. Now, i dont think you would get that in the cinema, but in a world of streaming where you can pause and go to the loo if you need to, it seems to be totally 0k. Or you could just split it over two nights or is that not allowed with a movie . Dont suggest that the fans will eat you alive for goodness� sake anyway, that is it from our mere 24 Minute Programme for this week. Which, of course, you should watch in one go but if youre missing us throughout the week, you can find us on social media on youtube, instagram, facebook and twitter at bbcclick. Thanks for watching and well see you soon. Bye bye. Hello there. As the clocks spring forward, the temperatures prepare to spring upwards. Some warm weather on the way for the next few days, although if you are in the north west of scotland, prepare for heavy rain which could cause some localised flooding. The rain has already arrived, a band of rain to start sunday across parts of northern england, wales and northern ireland. That will move north through the day, so sunshine and showers will be replaced by cloud and persistent rain, especially heavy across high ground in the west. Some brightness for north east scotland. Further south and east, a bit of brightness, the cloud should break up across eastern england, it will be windy with gusts of 40 50 mph, maybe Even Stronger in places, but my even warm in places with temperatures up to 16 degrees across parts of yorkshire and lincolnshire. As we head through sunday evening, further rain up towards the north west. Remember, the sunset will be later, nearly eight oclock across parts of northern ireland. 7 47pm in penzance, west cornwall. Through sunday night, we will see further rain, becoming focused across those Western Parts of scotland. That is where we could see flooding. Exceptionally mild night across the central areas, temperatures for some staying in double digits. Monday, the Wriggling Frontal System will continue to bring rain towards the north, but to the south of the weather front, we will import some very warm air for the time of year. Monday, cloud and rain in northern ireland, but especially across western scotland. Eastern scotland, some brightness. England and wales, spells of sunshine, cloud broken up, and if you see sunny skies, temperatures could reach 21 degrees. Temperatures have further to climb. Tuesday, rain still in north west scotland. Over the next few days, we could see 200 millimetres. But further south, with the sunshine, tuesday is when temperatures could reach 23 degrees. But dont get used to it. From mid week, this frontal system will push southwards, opening the door to some colder air to push in from the north in time for the end of the week. London, 23 on tuesday, just 10 degrees on good friday. 00v its a this its a is bbc news, with the latest headlines for viewers in the uk and Around The World. Im Lewis Vaughan jones.
