coming up in around 10 minutes�* time we'll have newswatch, but first here's click. that is it from us from ces. we'll be back in vegas from next year. we'll be back in vegas from next year-— we'll be back in vegas from next ear. ., , ., next year. not act can see no or convention _ next year. not act can see no or convention centre - next year. not act can see no or convention centre insight. | or convention centre insight. -- not— or convention centre insight. -- not a _ or convention centre insight. —— not a casino. thundering, powerful music plays. welcome to ces 2022 from vegas! it's been touch and go but we made it, and there's plenty of tech here. yeah, not as much as we were expecting, though, to be honest. in fact, quite a few big names pulled out quite late in the day due to you—know—what, which does mean that the world's biggest tech show feels somewhat smaller, doesn't it? there are still plenty of gadgets, though. yep, true. i'll be looking at a few for the home in a minute but in the meantime, do you fancy a brew? i think it's time for a tea break, don't you? you've been working hard already, clearly. very hard, yes! this is the bru tea maker. now, you can put in any loose tea or tea bags and then you set it for exactly how long you want that tea to be brewing for, so it'll hopefully make you your perfect cuppa. my perfect cuppa is i'd say about 3.5 minutes. can you do that? ok, i shall try and oblige. it's got quite a handy self—cleaning function in there as well. with these machines, that's often the hassle, isn't it? 0k. set up a 3.5—minute interlude, please. yeah, actually. not a bad cup of...tea. where... ? 0h! she's gone. that should keep him busy for a bit. now, these days, we're having more food deliveries than ever, so could this be a solution? fresh portal allows you to set it to hot or cold so your delivery should be kept atjust the right temperature. the finished product will have uv—c lights to sanitise it and a camera to monitor yourfood, but the problem is you do need to cut a big hole in your house to put it in. and here's today's delivery, which is rather unusually some yoguhrt. one issue with deliveries as they often come with way more packaging than you need. that i'll be after later. but clear drop hopes to overcome the problem of not enough soft plastics being recycled with this, a device that compresses them. you can either put in there plastic bags like this or any soft packaging. this isjust a prototype — the finished product will be about two—thirds of this size — but this is what happens. and this is what the plastic comes out looking like once it's condensed. i've been told that this is probably the quantity that your average family would come up with over the course of two months and being like this instead of big, puffy bags does make it a lot easier to be ground down at a recycling facility. anyhow, i'm going to pop that there because i need to get to the kitchen. as it happens, i'm not much of a fan of plain yoghurt, but there is a reason that i've got this here. first of all, let me pour some into the bowl. this is spoontek, and the company claims that through a mild electric current that runs through it, yourfood should taste better. now, when i am using it, the food will be covering this silver dot here. and when i'm eating with it, my finger will naturally cover that silver bit at the back. so this light will come on to show that it's definitely working. to test it, i'm actually going to be blindfolded so that i can't tell the difference between this, the functioning spoon, and these two that don't. i'm going to put this on and omar, can you come over and just mix things up a bit so i don't know what spoon i'm using? 0k. it's here somewhere, i think. bleep. ok, this tastes like yoghurt. that tasted exactly the same as it did on the first spoon. um, strangely, that mouthful maybe sort of tasted a bit better? but i don't know. if i wasn't really thinking about it, i wouldn't notice a difference. it's not like you feel an electric current or anything. but i'm going to guess that this is the right spoon. musical flourish. it is. 0k. i was genuinely not expecting that! 0k, well, let's give it a go again. bleep. i think this is the spoon. buzzer blares. no. no! and i really thought it wasn't the first one. maybe it was luck, i guess, the first time. let's do it again. bleep. not feeling so sure this time. i'm going to go for this being the spoon. and it is! ok, that was two out of three. and it could be luck but i don't know! it was two out of three. the difference was so small, i wonder if it would be more substantial with something that tasted a bit stronger but i don't know! there's my really scientific test. and when it's time to leave the house, especially if you're going to be away for a while, then you may be concerned about security. and here's something that's taken things on a level from the old timer switch that makes it look like someone's in when the lights go on and off. let me just set it up. there we go. simple. it's got a sensor in it so it knows if its day or night. done. home shadows aims to create the illusion that there are people moving around in the room and to me, it did just look like a bit of a glitchy light, which i suppose would indicate someone was in. but it doesn't exactly look like this. welcome to cs where there is always something you can see. including this cabinet we can make anything float. they have put perfumes and watches in here for retail shops, but today they have put my microphone inside. the founders are magicians — they won't tell me how it is done. i am going to need that back. 0k, there you go! it is magic. laughs. this as always, more and more things are getting connected to the internet. this is a smart tap, i can ask my voice assistant. alexa, ask for 500 millimetres of water. there we go. exactly 500 millilitres, very clever. if this means the wi—fi goes off, i can't make a cup of tea? absolutely not. you always have tea, the motion control sensor will continue to operate. this is battle racing, a start—up from colombia which i think was inspired by an italian—japanese plumber. i can even leave little traps here for the people racing behind me, and then off i go! this is flying magic cleaner. the idea is once you have vacuumed your carpet you can suck some more dust out of the air. there is a few companies here this year doing facial recognition for dogs. so let's give it a try. here's a dog, you hold that to the camera, and it's identified asjohn. and what about this dog, with the pretty hair clip? is this a different dog or the same dog? that is alsojohn. laughs. what do alcohol and bitcoin both have in common? every high is followed by a crash. i have just met cecilia. this is a robot bartender. i put my cup here. show me your id. she's asking for my id. obviously i look under 21. cecilia, i will have a metaverse please. oh cecilia, you are breaking my heart, you're shaking my cocktails daily. oh nice, is that pomegranate? and this is the perfect gadget for if you have been doing sports or exercise orjust walking around ces all day. it is cryosocks, and it will give me instant deep calling on my muscles from this canister here, so ijust give it a press. 0h! oh, it's very cold. that was chris, and we haven't quite finished with weird and wonderful yet. oh good! you know that nice feeling you get when a baby nibbles yourfinger? no. me neither. but someone does, so meet amagami ham ham. yourfinger in its mouth. that's strange. tell us what it is like? oh, it is squeezing the end of my finger. you enjoy that while i read the press release. it's designed to recreate somewhat pleasing sensation you get when human babies and pet animals softly bite on the fingers. it uses a special algorithm to randomly select from two dozen nibbling patterns to keep users interested. are you still interested? fascinated. most people like the nibbling sensation but know they need to teach their children or pets to stop it or they'll bite with full force, eventually. amagami ham ham frees humankind from the conundrum of whether to pursue or not pursue the forbidden pleasure. how is that for you? can i take my finger out? on that note we will leave it for ces for this week. it is good to be back, though, isn't it. it is good to be back. super. su er. as ever, you can keep up with the team on social media, find us at bbc click. spencer, are you ok? thanks for watching, we will see you soon. hello, and welcome to the first newswatch of 2022, with me, samira ahmed. why, just after ghislaine maxwell's conviction, did bbc news interview jeffrey epstein's former lawyer, who has himself been accused of abuse? and was it right after that guilty verdict to hear from ghislaine maxwell's brother, ian, who insists she is innocent? the trial of ghislaine maxwell on charges of helping the latejeffrey epstein to abuse girls was avidly followed in the media around the world. so when she was found guilty in a new york court last week, it was, of course, breaking news on the bbc news channel. a few minutes after the verdict came in, the channel interviewed this man. the government was very careful who it used as witnesses. it did use as a witness the woman who accused prince andrew, accused me, accused many other people, because the government didn't believe she was telling the truth. in fact, she, virginia giuffre, was mentioned in the trial as somebody who brought young people to epstein for him to abuse. although this was not made clear on air, alan dershowitz used to be a lawyer forjeffrey epstein, and as he mentioned there, he has, along with epstein, been accused of abuse by virginia giuffre, a charge he denies. many viewers expressed shock at the interview, with michael mcelfresh contacting us to say: and john moyes added: well, the following day, the bbc acknowledged that those criticisms had a point, putting out this statement. there has been no further word yet on that, but in the meantime they have been more objections to another bbc interview about this case, and it took place on new year's eve on radio 4's today programme, and clips of it were shown during the day on the news channel. the guest: ghislaine maxwell's brother ian, who challenged the version of events set out in court by her accusers.
