Things one step at a time. A tempOrary ban on bailiff enfOrced evictions, introduced in england at the start of the pandemic, comes to an end. China announces that families can now have three children up from the current limit of two as data shows a steep decline in the number of births. 0pposition politicians in israel continue their talks and look close to a deal, which would end the premiership of benjamin netanyahu. People flock to beaches on Bank Holiday monday on what could be the hottest day of the year so far. Now on bbc news, its time fOr click. This week, mood moulding music. Dan drives dangerously. And tiny tot tootsie tech. Hey, welcome to click. This week, we want to make you feel good through the medium of music. I dont know about you, lara, but ive been listening to a lotta, Lotta Music in the last year. I love a good tune to run to, but i do find it quite difficult to decide what music i want, so i end up Downloading One Song and then just having it on repeat fOr the whole of my 5k. Do you do anything like that . Is that weird . No, i dont. And yes, that is weird. Its not that sea shanty, is it . No. Cos that would be, like, too weird. I tell you what, though, sometimes i do find myself listening to a really small set of songs. FOr me, its the amazing band chvrches, which i think have got me through lockdown, to be honest. I think youve got them through lockdown. Yeah, thats true. Thats true. Its a bit like musical comfOrt food, though. When im feeling down, i just want that familiar sound. Mm. I may not have been doing it, but of Course Anyone can make a playlist with any music to cater fOr any mood. Yeah. And that is Whatjen Copestake has been looking at Or listening to playlists that have been created specifically fOr you based on where you are right now emotionally and where you want to get to. Weve seen how Artificial Intelligence is being used to compose music from Heavy Metal algOrithms and competitions like the Ai Eurovision song contest. The way we consume music is also guided by algOrithms. Spotify suggests artists and playlists based on our listening patterns. But could this data be used in an even mOre medicinal way . Companies are explOring ways to use all of this data to create what theyre calling prescription playlists, which they hope could one day replace some painkillers Or even anti anxiety medication. The Warren Youth Project in hull provides mental Ort'>Health SuppOrt to young people between the ages of 16 and 25. BefOre the pandemic, it was already using music as therapy. Youll hear people talk about miracle drugs like penicillin, the breakthroughs down through the years, but, in actual fact, music is the Miracle Drug Weve always had. Being alone, being alone, being alone. A project called three minute heroes teamed young people up with local bands to make Music Videos based on their lyrics. I thought that life on this planet. We had hurdles, but we had them representing emotional hurdles, things like anxiety and depression, stress, loneliness. And over the course of the video, our singer, rOry, overcomes those hurdles. Is it something that you see in young people in hull, Or. . Its definitely something that we see in young people in hull, and especially at the pandemic. Its. You know, its multiplied several times. It can be isolation. It can be Drug And Alcohol abuse. It can lead to problems with education and employment. Jake is the first young person at the warren to trial medimusic, an algOrithm designed to pick the perfect playlist of songs to lower your Heart Rate. Music is academically proven to affect the brain mOre than any other stimulus. Its already been trialled with dementia patients in the Lancashire Teaching hospitals nhs foundation trust, with a repOrted decrease in Heart Rate of 22 . A trial is currently under way with A0 Nhs doctOrs and nurses at the same trust, who were wOrking in critical care during the pandemic. And can you talk us through those devices in front of you . Yeah, sure. So what weve decided to do is build our own device. Its what were looking to move towards. Its been designed to just focus on the delivery of music with no distractions that wed nOrmally get when looking at a smartphone. Then, at the bottom of that, there will be additional modules that measure Heart Rate variability, which is a good indicatOr of stress and hopefully ultimately, something that will measure cOrtisol via a wearable. FOrjake� s playlist, only six songs were chosen, but the algOrithm can handle up to 400. The music chosen is not necessarily what youd imagine. Cos it doesnt sound very relaxing. Like punch the clock. No. Well, thats what i thought, it didnt seem like relaxing music. When i went away and listened to the playlist, i think i definitely was calmer. I was definitely very engrossed while listening to it. Its a really easily accessible piece of kit. It has potential Tojust Help as an additional tool to alleviate those pressures and those concerns that young people have around their Mental Health well being. And fOr us, its imperative that we try and deal with these emerging issues as quickly as we can using any Or-oppOrtunity'>Methodology Or OppOrtunity that we can get our hands on. Music Swan Theme from Swan Lake by tchaikovsky there is very little doubt the Effect Music has on us and its ability to capture the mind. A Spanish Charity called music to awaken uploaded a Video Tribute to fOrmer Prima Ballerina marta gonzalez. She was suffering with dementia and suddenly hears the Swan Theme from Swan Lake. Further trials of its use are needed, but medimusic estimates its algOrithm, as well as reawakening imaginations, could cut the costs of some medicines by a quarter. That wasjen. Now, eight and a half years ago, after i had a baby, i tested a whole batch of Baby Tech. Some of it was really useful, but other items just seemed a bit questionable. How could a gadget know better than a Mothers Instinct . Yeah, i remember a Smartphone App which told you when your baby needed feeding. To be honest, i could never hear it over my baby yelling at the top of his voice that he was hungry. Exactly. So ive been taking a look at some of the newer Baby Tech thats out there. I didnt have a baby fOr it this time around. I enlisted the help of some other new parents. PoOr Sleep Isntjust a problem fOr the grown ups. Babies can suffer from it too. 0wlet� s connected sock collects oxygen and Heart Rate data via a light monitOring Blood Flow under babys little toe to let you know how well theyre resting. A camera can be linked to the system, too. As first time parents, in the night were quite prone to checking her all the time and so having itjust on the phone without having to disturb her was helpful. I definitely referenced it a few times a night to make sure she was still breathing and all that usual stuff. It does need charging every day, though, and in reality could cause some concern. You sOrt of can over check these things, i think, sometimes, you know, because youve got it there on your phone, the temptation just to look, i think we had it badly placed on her once Or i wasjigging her to get her to sleep and they couldnt get a reading. Tina. That could make you anxious. So can it reallyjustify its 280 Quid Price Tag . If you were really wOrried about your child fOr any medical reasons, then i think it could be quite reassuring. Data could help new mums with Breast Feeding, though. Some do feel really strongly about wanting to do it, but can face challenges. I think a lot of it is wOrrying because Breast Feeding is such that you dont actually see physical transfer. Its the process of wOrrying that leads to interventions that then result in reduced breast Milk Supply. So how about this smartphone connected scanner . It measures how established Breast Milk is via the levels of ions present. Basically, the motherjust takes a few drops of milk, introduces it into this tiny milk chamber, and then connects this chamber with the device. And then the device senses the electrochemical properties of this tiny human milk sample. This infOrmation is being transferred directly to the mothers smartphone to generate immediate insight. The algOrithms are based on data from over 800 milk samples, and Lactation Consultants have uploaded details of hundreds of feeds. Usually the device shows me that i was right, but it might help us see something earlier than the Human Eye would detect. Mothers also get to see how theyre getting on. Its very calming when you get the app and its all green and it gives you a scientific sign that youre doing ok because mostly you are doing 0k and its all in your head. And when its not, it tells you its not. And some other tools can track how much milk a baby is actually getting, like this smart nipple shield. Its app showing mothers how much milk is flowing past its sensOr without needing to express. How much milk does a woman on average in ireland versus russia Versus Uk versus brazil . Whats the typical Breast Milk volume . Nobody knows that. Countries with really good maternity leave, you know, are they producing mOre milk . The device is currently undergoing trials, but hopes to teach us mOre about the impact of things like polycystic ovary syndrome, diabetes and maternal bmi. If were able to say that, yes, this woman in the states who has these risk factOrs, her Milk Supply is down here, you know, we can prove it. Obviously, there are some benefits to having this kind of data. But on the flip side of this, could it not just cause mOre anxiety . There is a place fOr data. And having the data to reassure mums that you do have milk, youre doing great would be good. My wOrry would be if that comes from a Health Professional that makes it look as though we are advocating this device in place of you Breast Feeding naturally. There would be definitely, you know, a balance there, too. Hello and welcome to the week in tech. It was the Week Amazon signed an 8. 45 billion deal to buy mgm, the Hollywood Studio known fOr releasing the James Bond and rocky franchises. And after being tested in several countries, instagram now lets users all over the Globe Hide likes to reduce Social Media pressure. Uber and lyft started offering free shOrt rides to people in the united states travelling to get a Covid I9 jab. Whatsapp has sued the indian government in a bid to block new rules. It claims these rules will lead to Mass Surveillance by fOrcing Social Media platfOrms to hand over private infOrmation about their users. A new app that bans selfies is blowing up online. Paparazzi only allows users to take photos of other people and has no filters, follow accounts Or captions. Poparazzi. The Apps Debut is already being compared to the launch of Popular Apps like clubhouse, snapchat and even facebook. And finally, a robot is helping paramedics save lives by giving cpr. A Uk Ambulance service is using the Device Called Lucas to carry out chest compressions, freeing up the Emergency Team to carry out other vital procedures on Heart Attack patients. Truly a case where robots can help fix a broken heart. I cant be the only one thinking that home is dustier than usual, maybe because weve been spending mOre time at home during the pandemic. So i thought id try out some Air Purifiers to see if they would help. Now, befOre i get any comments about living in squalOr, let me tell you, my mum is german and i was raised on the ideology of luften, which is to open your windows and ventilate every mOrning without fail. I obviously also vacuum regularly, but even so, i felt like theres mOre dust, maybe because im at home mOre, so im creating mOre dust Or im at home mOre and im noticing mOre dust. Either way, i wanted to fix it. I started off by putting an Air Quality Meter in my bedroom that can detect dust and other Fine Particles in the air. Basically, what that little box is doing is measuring how much dust there is in the air every 15 minutes and then giving you an Air Quality Index Or Ore'>Aqi ScOre. Its using a us scale. Basically, the higher the number, the wOrse the Air Quality, and it goes all the way from good to hazardous. Here are the results from my first seven days. And you can see that the Air Quality fluctuated a lot, but the baseline was typically in the moderate zone with a few spikes all the way up to hazardous, which i guess is not great. So i started Logging Everything i did in my bedroom, so hopefully i could explain some of those spikes in the Air Quality reading. And then it was time to start the experiment. FOr my first high tech intervention, i just opened the window fOr 2h hours to see whether luften really would make a big difference. And here are the Air Quality results. Now whats cool about this is that all the Dust Spikes match up exactly with the log i was keeping. So you can see the Air Quality improved overnight. The Dust Levels went down. You can see exactly when i woke up and got out of bed and kicked up a load of dust. This is where i was sat on my bed doing some wOrk. And then you can see later when i went to bed to go to sleep, again i kicked up a load of dust. What was surprising here was that the Air Quality results actually looked a bit wOrse with the Window Open fOr 2h hours. I dont know if that was just because there was a breeze coming in and so the dust was kept agitated and floating around fOr longer. Its hard to say, but if you look at the next days readings with the window closed and no other interventions, overall, the Dust Spikes were lower. Anyway with that out of the way, it was time fOr some tech. The first filter i tried was the tcl breeva. I wanted to include a low Cost Device so this one doesnt have an Auto Mode and doesnt have any Air Quality measuring. You just turn it on Or off and you can set the timer fOr as long as you want, so i left it running on medium fOr 2h hours. Heres the Air Quality data from saturday with no intervention. And here it is from sunday with the Tcp Breeva running fOr 2h hours. As all the other days, the Air Quality improved while i was asleep. But with the filter running, the aqi went all the way down to zero and you can see exactly where i got up and kicked up a load of dust again when i got changed in the mOrning. Later in the day when i had a nap and again wasnt moving around the room, the Tcl Filter got the Air Quality Index all the way down to zero again and fOr a low Cost Device, i thought that was pretty impressive. The second filter i tried was by south Oreas-dynair'>KOreas Dynair and this one caught my eye because it used Ultraviolet Uvc to kill airbOrne viruses. Its very appropriate in these times. The machine has an automatic mode and built in sensOrs. So when it detects a lot of dust in the air, the light turns red and the fan kicks in, which it did as soon as i got up in the mOrning and kicked up a load of dust. Heres the Air Quality data from monday with no intervention. And heres tuesday when i was running the Or'>Dynair FilterfOr 2a hours. Once again, it brought the Air Quality Index all the way down to zero with no dust detected. And when i did kick up some dust, it quickly brought the levels down again. The Final Machine i tested was the Dyson Purifier hot and cool fOrmaldehyde, which is called that because it not only removes dust from the air, but can also break down fOrmaldehyde. One thing i did like about This Machine is as well as being a passive airfilter, you can also use it as a fan on a hot day to blow air at you and cool you down, which the other two didnt do. And i think if youre going to have something this big and i think if youre stood around in the home, it may as well be dual purpose. Iran The Machine fOr 2h hours in Auto Mode and here are the results. Heres the first day with no intervention. And heres the day running the Dyson PurifierfOr21i hours i noticed with This Machine the Aqi Reading never went all the way down to zero. And i think the reason fOr that is because accOrding to the app, the Target Wasnt zero. The target was to keep the Ore'>Aqi ScOre firmly within that good range at all times. And if you look at the data across the day, it did exactly that. Crucially, has all this made a difference . Well, ifeel like it has. I certainly feel like there is less dust around. The Air Quality metre says there is less dust around and taking a look at the actual Air Filters shows you how much dust they have captured. Hopefully the biggest change will be getting out of the house mOre as restrictions are relaxed. But when it comes to Air Filters im a big fan. That was Chris Fox helping us all to breathe easy. But next, we have something which mayjust take your breath away. MotOr racing is huge, but its notjust The Professionals that you may see on the telly. In the uk, over 30,000 people have whats known as a competition licence, and lots of others just head to the tracks fOr fun. All of them are trying to go faster, drive better and crash less. And now theres a new piece of tech out there, which might just give them the edge, and Dan Simmons has been taking it fOr a spin. This is thruxton race circuit. Its the fastest track in the uk where Ordinary Road Cars can take cOrners at over 100mph. Now, fOr most drivers, what makes the biggest difference to their speed isnt tweaking the car, its about their driving skills. I put way too much curve in there, didnt i . Yeah. And that usually means getting an instructOr to help us improve. And then back the other way. That is until now. Garmin have come up with the catalyst. It wants to make me drive faster. My question is, can it make me the next Lewis Hamilton . And mOre to the point, is ben here out of a job . So far, my best time around the track was a 151. 6. I was getting faster, but could the catalyst make a difference . Now, when youre driving a car around a track, youre aiming to do one thing take cOrners really well. Its all about timing, braking in the right place and trying to keep the car on the fastest line. To help with this, the catalyst uses a camera fitted to the dashboard, along with gps and accelerometers, to wOrk out where you are on the circuit. After three set up laps, it analyses where it thinks improvements can be made and then coaches you in real time as you continue round the circuit. What did it say there . Good job on braking harder. 0k. So thats what it wants me to do . Apex later . It says, nice wOrk, so its sOrt of encouraging me a little bit. This is my session summary, and the catalyst has picked out some places that it thinks that i can improve on, that i didnt really expect it to. I thought it would go fOr the twisty bits, but it hasnt. Its gone fOr the long, sweeping fast cOrners. Look at that church, it thinks i can improve on, that run up The Hill fast and sudden braking into the chicane. It thinks that i can do much better. So all it needed was a few mOre laps. That was good. Good turning i said it first you did, ben, ill give you that. The results were in. It did help me go faster. It helped me straighten out the cOrners and actually give a little bit mOre gas in some cases, where i was quite willing to sometimes lift off. Would i replace a live instructOr with this . Probably not. Hes aware of all sOrts of things going on in the car, including whats going on fOr me, whereas at the moment this isnt. So its better than nothing, but it doesnt replace ben. People need to understand the limitations of what it can do and understand what it cant do, and as we experience through the day, the tyres get hot and then they go off slightly. So the lap you did three laps ago, youre not going to get there again. And so, the unit telling you to keep trying fOr that time maybe isnt the safest thing to do. Theres also one other feature, which is wOrth mentioning. Its very easy to set new tracks using the device. You just have to drive the same route three times and that could be anywhere, including public roads. Now, the device discourages this through an on Screen Warning set up, and garmin told the bbc that it doesnt encourage any fOrm of illegal activity. But what is interesting is that the Devices Design Team havent used Geo Fencing to restrict its use to race tracks. Back on track, we wanted to see what it was like with a pro, so we sent in 2017 british Gt Winner Seb mOrris around fOr a spin. He laughs. When we think of cars of the future, we think autonomous self driving machines. Just told me to apex later. So it means im obviously turned too early into the cOrner. And befOre, my optimal best was what i thought was my absolute limit, but actually i have decreased that lap time. But perhaps this tech presents a better picture fOr those who enjoy driving a collabOration between human and machine to create a better driver. But im surprised Garmin Hasnt taken the oppOrtunity to cross reference the data with the drivers� biometrics, using something like their Watch Range to make things safer, suggest brake times perhaps, and get even mOre from man and machine. What was his time . 1. 29. 9. 0h, ill have to do mOre practice oh, no, youre going to have to go round again, dan, what a shame that was dan a reasonably priced star in a car. Thats us out of here fOr this week. As ever, you can find the team on Social Media, youtube, instagram, facebook and twitter. Thanks fOr watching and well see you soon. Bye bye. Hello there. As far as Bank Holiday weekends go, this has been one of the better ones. We did have some cloud fOr a while earlier on today, particularly through the midlands, but that has melted away plenty of sunshine through the rest of the day. A bit of cloud just flirting with some of these Orth-sea'>NOrth Sea coasts. Another warm day, temperatures typically into the low 20s, could make 2a Or 25 in the london area. Heading into this evening, then, a fine end to the day, plenty of sunshine to end the day. 0vernight, many places will keep clearer skies, not expecting as much of that low cloud to push inland, mainly affecting parts of yOrkshire, lincolnshire and to some eastern areas of scotland. After the warm sunshine of today, temperatures fOr many overnight should remain in double figures as well. Heading into tomOrrow, there will be some areas of low cloud to start the day, but those should tend to lift and break up, the sunshine come through in the mOrning. Still there may be some of these Orth-sea'>NOrth Sea coasts, nOrth east england, Eastern Scotland could stay cooler and cloudier, otherwise lots of sunshine once again. The winds will be light. And those temperatures could be a shade higher than today. So we are looking at 25, maybe even 26 degrees around greater manchester, merseyside, london and the South East. But it is going to be strong sunshine we have again tomOrrow. Uv levels will be high. If you are near the coast and want to cool down a little bit, you certainly will be able to that in the sea. These are the sea temperatures. Not very high at this time of year of course. Highest of all through the English Channel and southern parts of the Orth-sea'>NOrth Sea. So some mOre warm sunshine, high temperatures on tuesday. Heading into wednesday we start to see the weather changing a bit, because lowering pressure, moving up Orm-biscay'>FOrm Biscay is going to bring some showers into the South West of england and wales. These could be heavy and thundery. Eventually we could get a few showers coming into nOrthern ireland, across To Hampshire and even merseyside as well. Ahead of that it will be dry, sunny once again. It will be warm fOr many areas. Highest temperatures all the way from Western Scotland down through the midlands, towards the South East of england. It will be cooler around those Orth-sea'>NOrth Sea coasts, and a breeze coming in off the Orth-sea'>NOrth Sea. That Wind Wont be as strong on thursday. By thursday what is left of the showers and they are mOre hit and miss and a band of cloud moving up heading into scotland. Sunny spells following on behind. The Air Wont be as warm on thursday, but in the sunshine it is still quite pleasant, highs of 22 Or 23 celsius. This is bbc news. The headlines the fight against cOronavirus steps up a gear, with englands largest Mass Vaccination Centre opening with the potential to give 15,000 doses in one day. It comes amid warnings from some scientists that the final stage of unlocking in england, due onjune 21st, should be delayed by a few weeks. The government says its taking things one step at a time. A tempOrary ban on bailiff enfOrced evictions, introduced in england at the start of the pandemic, comes to an end. China announces that families can now have three children, up from the current limit of two, as data shows a steep decline in the number of births. 0pposition politicians in israel continue their talks and look close to a deal, which would end the premiership of benjamin netanyahu. People flock to beaches on Bank Holiday monday,
