Willkommen, bienvenue, hi. Welcome to ifa, europe's biggest tech show, where, every year, thousands of people pile into berlin's giant exhibition centre to grab a sneak peek at the latest. . . Well, everything. The press, business and the public can zip around more than two dozen halls full of weird and wonderful displays and demonstrations. You can play pingpong with foldable phones to somehow prove how tough they are. You can meet robot animals, stuffed pets. You might even catch a glimpse of a real live pussycat doll. Yes, even nicole scherzinger, lead singer of the aforementioned supergroup, was brought in to bring some bling to the tech discussions. Now, you'll find all of the techshow staples here. Robo vacuums and lawnmowers check. Flying car check. Not actually flying. . . Buzzer. . Check. Loads and loads and loads of screens check, check, check. Massagers for the whole body, orjust the ankles. . . Quivering: er. . . Now, although this is overwhelmingly a home appliance show, even if you are not wowed by white goods, there are still some very interesting innovations here. Just making myself a water smoothie at the moment. But here's a question for you. Where is this food processor getting its powerfrom? look, no cables. It's getting the electricity from the induction hob. What?! we're getting used to induction hobs in kitchens, where the hob doesn't generate heat, it generates electromagnetic waves, which causes the metal on the bottom of the pan to heat up. We're also getting used to wirelesscharging our devices, so you just pop it down on a pad and it sucks up the electricity and charges the battery. Well, this is a combination of the two. We're starting to see the arrival of more powerful kitchen gadgets which can suck their electricity up from the induction hob. Now, it needs to be a bit smart. The hob needs to know which device is on which hob so it can do the right thing. But apart from that, it sounds like a pretty decent idea to me. Anyone for a cuppa? this is a special year for ifa. Believe it or not, it's 100 years old. Now, the first few shows concentrated on the emerging luxury technology of the day the radio. Radio tunes in and out it is crazy to think that there was a technology expo of sorts here 100 years ago, and it did become a big deal. Back in 1930, it was opened by none other than albert einstein. The radio, and wireless technology in general, has been the springboard for so many of our modern devices, and there's certainly no shortage of new things to get excited about here. Here's an interesting phone. It's from tcl, and it's using tcl*s nxtpaper display technology, which means you have this matte finish. It's not a reflective screen at all. Erm, and it's designed to be easier on the eye. But when you flick this switch here, it goes into full epaper simulation mode. So it really does look like an e ink display that you'd find on your ebook reader. It's not epaper, it's still an lcd display, but, with the matte finish, it certainly is easy on the eye. First thing you notice is, the battery life has shot up to about 132 hours because it's not using wallpaper or anything like the processing power it has before. Most of the apps work, including, weirdly, youtube, on epaper. And from new handhelds to new laptops. This is honor*s new magicbook art 1a. It's an armbased laptop, and the first one that i've seen that keeps its webcam in a little pocket. You pop it out the side, magnet it on the top, and there's your webcam, only when you need it. He laughs but how do you grab attention at a big tech show like ifa? how do you stand out from the crowd? well, one way to promote, for example, your new portable printer for phone photos is to associate yourself with a cultural phenomenon that is guaranteed to turn heads. Of course, serious journalists like me would never be fooled by such tactics. The thing is, though, consumer electronics is a serious business. There is serious money involved, and shows like this have to take things incredibly seriously. And it's never a given that they'll remain relevant in the future. We watch announcements online these days, we do business remotely, and we don't want to travel as much. Ifa has yet another new ceo this year, and he's tasked with trying to keep the event in the headlines. How hard is it to organise and run a big tech show like ifa? it feels like you start to fly, but you build the plane within the flight. It's something like that. Yeah, yeah. Because you cannot wait. There are so many deadlines you had to follow. If you don't follow, there's a chain reaction. But nevertheless, we embrace the challenge. And we had a real. . . We're a new team and, you know, we are in berlin. Berlin is special. Ifa is special. Everything is a little bit crazx _ as we move into the future, which, by the look of this montage, feels pretty dystopian, what with the clockwork orange, robocop doing cycle crunches, and donnie darko in a space helmet. The new ifa boss says he wants to make the show a more citywide cultural event, attracting younger people, and perhaps broadening out beyond just straightup tech, a lot like the annual south by southwest festival does in texas, combining, as it does, tech with film, music and art. So, many things to change because we cannot wait. This year is the starting point, _ getting more in the direction that we are more innovative and getting even bigger. Being the most important technological show in the world. Would you say ifa is different this year? and would you say that it's going to be different from now on? everything that you feel with ifa is totally different. Why? because we want to give a visual signal to everybody that there is a change. Ifa is getting younger, more innovative, front of the wave of trends, and we are more a cultural event than a typical tech show. One thing that's changed is the name. It's still ifa, but it doesn't stand for internationale funkausstellung any more. No, these days it's innovation for all. Another thing that's changed is that al, something that's supposedly been in everything here for years, might now really be able to make our homes smarter. It goes from room to room and controls appliances. And iot devices. Not only is there this continuing promise that our devices will learn our habits and make our lives more efficient, but with the arrival of large language models like chatgpt, we might finally get that home assistant that we can have an actual conversation with. Hey, ballie, can you show me the status of the devices in the house? assistant: sure, iwill show. You the status in 3d map view. But neither lg's nor samsung's anklehigh home help bots have been released yet, and i do find myself wondering which one i'll trip over first. Talking of which, samsung has by far the biggest presence here, with an entire hall dedicated to many of the big themes of the day, including sustainability, with its energy monitoring system, wearables, with rings that put your house to sleep when you drift off, and accessibility, with tv displays that allow for viewers of differing levels of eyesight. Keeping highprofile names like these interested and happy to keep coming back is one of the challenges big shows like ifa will continue to face. You'll find many of the massive household names here at ifa, but also this show has its fair share of tiny startups, which may have had the next big idea. I'll show you some of those later. But what does it take to be an entrepreneur and develop that idea into something that could change the world? well, in sweden, alistair keen has been to meet two brothers who formed a company called plasticfri. Hi, how are you doing? good, thanks. And you? good, thank you, yeah. Nice to meet you. Likewise. What's the biggest risk you've taken? i would say to be an entrepreneur, maybe. He laughs the biggest risk of my life. But at the same time, the sweetest risk of my life. Plasticfri is a green tech company based here in sweden. We have developed a breakthrough technology, which is based on the multistep processes, in order to develop i and offer ecofriendly and plantbased alternative to plastics _ this is one of the products that we have developed a paper cup which is not like the other paper cups in the market, because there is no plastic film inside, and it is also certified recyclable as paper. Normal paper cup has a film inside, and this film is made of plastic. So imagine when you are drinking a coffee. Like, any time that you sip, you are bringing microplastics into your body. And what we achieve with our plasticfree paper cup is that we eliminate completely that film in order to protect the paper there and be separated from the liquid inside. So, basically, in thisjar, we have some examples of the plantbased resourcesl that we are using. It is agricultural waste. It is nonedible plants. It is also partly wood fibre. It is even some leaves that we see here. Some of these plants, we use and extract the ingredients i that we need in order to create our base raw material. When you have the agricultural waste and nonedible plants and wood fibre, then we extract the ingredients that we would need in our processes. . When you have the extraction, you have a mixing process, then it goes through fermentation, and then you have several steps of the process in order to convert that to an end product like this. I lots of us have been there with a paper straw, where, halfway through the drink, it goes mushy and we can't finish the product. What's different about your straw? so, if we look at the normal paper straws, the way they are being manufactured is that l you roll a piece of paper, you dip them to a glue bath, and then you take them up, you let them dry. _ and the reason that they get soggy is that when you put them into yourdrinks, the glue actually is dissolved into your drink. _ with our technology which is the same for the cups, bags, i ecommerce mailers, and the straw we eliminate completely the glue _ we only use heat and pressure. Costwise, how does it compare to a traditional plastic bag? yeah, so, plastic industry has been around for tens of years now, quite a well established industry, and it is obvious that it will be cheap. Our technology is very, very highly scalable, which means that, in large volumes, we can be competitive in pricing with the traditional plastics. Any time that we talk about sustainability, environmentally friendly, automatically, people think about, oh, yeah, we have to pay more. As a consumer, we want to shift that change as well in order to offer premium products at a nonpremium pricing. You guys have a lot of passion for what you're doing, built on your childhood and built on your surroundings. Give us a sense of how much you're putting into this startup. Within the past five, six years, we've been working at least 100 hours per week, which is an insane amount of work. I but that's also connected to the passion, _ because we think the negative effect of plastic pollution. On human beings, on the whole ecosystem, it has gone too far. I can't imagine working with any of my siblings as closely as you two work together, let alone having a business. How do you manage that relationship? of course, as human beings, we are different. There are ups and downs in the world of siblings as well. But what makes a team quite as strong is really these different opinions. If we think the same, then we don't have a panoramic view of the strategy. There can be conflicts, but this is part of the game. What we want to achieve is that, actually, to remove more than 10 billion plastic articles by 2026. So we're expanding very fast because we know the time is quite short and we cannot wait for tomorrow. We need to take action today. Time for a look at this week? tech nears. It is notjust in berlin that new products have been popping up. On monday apple launched its latest iphone. It comes in a new range of colours and has a new camera button. The big news as it runs apple intelligence, a company's new ai. Apple intelligence will change the way users edit photos and respond to messages. The new phone comes with more powerful chips and enhance privacy features. Sony has confirmed it is to launch a more powerful and much more expensive version of its hugely popular playstation five console. The ps five pro will be able to show more advanced graphics and display the most demanding games at higher more consistent frame rates. But the added power comes at a cost, in factjust over $900, just under 700. It will launch in sony's major territories on 7 november. Finally, scientist at the max planck institute for intelligent systems and a team at zurich have developed a robotic leg powered by artificial muscles made by oilfield plastic bags that resemble everyday freezer packs. Two muscles composed of four oilfield bags are partially covered on each side with electrode patches and when it is time to begin leaping, the team starts shocking. Time for a bit of music. I've come to london's maida vale studios, where many really famous artists have performed, to see one of the uk's upandcoming bands play live. This is strange, though. Where is everyone? at the moment, it looks like noone's in the venue, it looks like noone has arrived to see the show, but i think someone is about to arrive. Hopefully a whole crowd. In fact, there is no other real life audience for this show. Radio 1's new music portal. And don't worry if you're listening to the radio, it's fine. You just hear it like a normal gig. # like the back of my car on a sunny day # you're the song on the radio i never play. . . # good neighbours are behind me, performing live on radio 1, but i'm alsojoining them virtually here. I can move all around the virtual stage. I can get a front row position. My avatar, beat engineer there, is ready to dance. I've got some moves! a bit of cheering. There we go. My finest dance moves. This performance, a radio1 live lounge, is being simultaneously turned into an interactive 3d virtual event, one that giant exhibition centre <\/a>to grab a sneak peek <\/a>at the latest. . . Well, everything. The press,<\/a> business and the public can zip around more than two dozen halls full of weird and wonderful displays and demonstrations. You can play pingpong with foldable phones to somehow prove how tough they are. You can meet robot animals,<\/a> stuffed pets.<\/a> You might even catch a glimpse of a real live pussycat doll.<\/a> Yes, even nicole scherzinger,<\/a> lead singer of the aforementioned supergroup, was brought in to bring some bling to the tech discussions.<\/a> Now, you'll find all of the techshow staples here.

I can move all around the virtual stage. I can get a front row position.<\/a> My avatar,<\/a> beat engineer <\/a>there, is ready to dance. I've got some moves! a bit of cheering. There we go. My finest dance moves.<\/a> This performance, a radio1 live lounge,<\/a> is being simultaneously turned into an interactive 3d virtual event, one that anyone canjoin <\/a>on their laptop or mobile device.<\/a> It's part of a joint venture <\/a>between the bbc*s r&d department and software <\/a>company condense. But what's it all about? what we are so excited about with condense is we can take, you know, stuff the bbc is really good at and been doing for a long time live music, live performance and take that <\/a>and put it into these ingame environments where audiences are spending more and more of their time. Do you think this is also something about the fact that radio 1 <\/a>audiences are more likely to be of a particular age, that they'll engage with this? or do you see there's a whole crosssection of content for all ages that you can make immersive in this way? i think radio 1 <\/a>really wanted to reach out and build relationships with these audiences in these spaces. I do think the same technology can apply across a number of genres, but, you know, what we've seen already is, actually, musical performances are well established in these spaces. We want to deliver this experience in a way that is native to those environments and makes the best use of the forms of interactivity that it allows. We want to increasingly build an interactive conversation with our audiences, and this is a great way to do that. To see how it works, i had a good nose around behind the scenes before the show started. This rig is where the virtual stage is created. There are ten cameras around that are doing the volumetric capture. There's also a 360 camera here, and on this screen, the band can interact with the audience. You can see them jumping, clapping, dancing, and they can get a bit of the atmosphere back from those who are watching virtually. The performance is transformed into a realtime 3d model <\/a>and streamed into a virtual venue, which is called the new music portal.<\/a> It can be viewed from any angle and from anywhere. Fans can interact with the band and artists can interact with the avatars of their fans. Good neighbours is our guinea pig band <\/a>today, so what's the experience been like for them? # so i put you in some rollerskates # the perfect way to play it safer, yeah. . . # very space age.<\/a> It's kind of like we're in a musical prison right now, but a nice one. I was trying not to focus because otherwise i'd just be staring at that the whole time. Well, it could be quite distracting, couldn't it? yeah. You can still see when people are, like, into it and wandering around and being active. Because obviously it's not the same as seeing a whole crowd of fans in front of you. Sure. But comparing this to what it's like doing something on the radio where they can't see anything. I guess it's like. . . It's definitely a heightened experience of that, because when you do see people actually moving as beings on the screen, that definitely fills you with a bit more confidence. But what about the audience? we're aiming for an experience that makes people feel like they're getting even a small part of the live, i the real live experience. So when you're watching online, it's passive _ when you're watching through our tech, you feel like you're part of something. And it's interesting. When we talk to people about what they've experienced i after our events, they say, oh, i loved being there. I i attended. I was part of it. # it's the place i go when i start slippin* # darling, won't you take me home? # and eventually, i guess you can have people doing this in augmented reality with vr headsets <\/a>and. . . Yeah. a whole different world. What do you think this means for the future of music and how you guys are going to perform throughout your career? i definitely think it's going to help bands like us that are on their way up, where maybe we don't have the budget to go to, like, brazil or somewhere across the world. I think it's going to open up a really good relationship with fans. Well, that's interesting. Because it's notjust about the fans travelling, it of course means you don't have to travel. Yeah, true. Yeah. I guess that you can sort of reach a wider audience straight away and they can actually see live shows. So in a way, it's bringing live shows back. Ok, let's finish up back in berlin at the 100th ifa electronics show.<\/a> Now, a lot of ifa is given over to home appliances like washing machines <\/a>and robo vacuums. But this is hall 27. It's called ifa next.<\/a> And this is where the weird stuff happens. It's a place for startups to show off their prototypes and big new ideas. And if ifa is to stand for innovation for all from now on, well, this is where you'll find it. Now, everfancied being your own dentist? muffled: the tool is fine, i'm sure. My technique, not so much. What are you smiling at? it's a nasa cat carrier <\/a>for your space cats.<\/a> 0ne design problem,<\/a> though a bit too breathable, if you know what i mean. Houston, we have a problem. Time for a new hairstyle. Here's a smart mirror that's got some suggestions. First thing you've got to do is have your photo taken. Beautiful. Right, and now the magic begins, yes? yeah. Now, what this is doing is actually analysing my face and it's, first of all, going to remove my actual hair, so prepare yourselves. 0hhoho! that's marvellous, that is. That's me at the end <\/a>of ifa. The mirror allows you to change the colour of your virtual hair and even the texture. Oh, you can kind of stroke it into position! oh, well, that's made it all better now. Is that. . . ? that's *90s boyband. That's backstreet boys.<\/a> Do you know what? i've been thinking about changing my hairstyle for years, and now i'm not any more. Like everything at ifa, some of these things might hit the big time.<\/a> Many won't, and some of the underlying ideas and technologies may actually form the basis of something completely different. Can i tell which is which? well, after 20 years on thejob. . . . . No. And that's it from us from ifa100. Hope you've enjoyed our whistlestop tour. I certainly have. Thank you very much for watching, and we will see you soon. Hello there. Earlier in the week it was just getting a little colder each day and it was getting colder each night as well. Thursday night <\/a>was the coldest of this cold spell,<\/a> where we saw temperatures as low as 3 and there was a pinch of frost quite widely, unusually cold for this early in autumn. But things are changing now and we are pushing away the pool of cold air,<\/a> replacing it with atlantic winds <\/a>which will draw in milder error and lift the temperatures. It will bring with it a bit of rain. We have a lot of cloud and wind <\/a>to start the day in scotland and northern ireland <\/a>on saturday, a bit of sunshine breaking through the car to have the rain arriving in the northwest. Some cloud in england and wales, it won't be as windy and there will be sunshine as well, and for all of those temperatures will be higher on saturday, 17 or 18 in scotland and northern ireland, 19, perhaps 20 across eastern parts <\/a>of england. Here we have high pressure <\/a>in charge keeping it dry,<\/a> the weather front will bring rain in the northwest and push very slowly into the highpressure, into england and wales, so this is where we have this band of cloud and patchy rain. Should move away from northern england,<\/a> could get more wet in wales, some patchy rain for the midlands and southwest of england, but to the north becomes dry and we get more sunshine, it won't be as windy. Still as mild as it will be on saturday and we have similar temperatures elsewhere, we will be getting up to around 20 in the southeast, each should stay dry here until late in the day. With high pressure <\/a>around the weather front continues to weaken. There are more weather systems <\/a>trying to come in from the atlantic, but increasingly this seems to be getting further and further away. A lot of dry weather on monday, the weak weather front still producing some cloud for a while in the south but that should break up and it should be seeing some spells of sunshine across the uk. And the winds lighter as we head into monday, temperatures 18 degrees again, for scotland and northern ireland, but 21 perhaps in the southeast as the cloud breaks up later on. Highpressure will be dominant as we head into next week, it pushes away all these weather fronts <\/a>and areas of low pressure up towards iceland, it takes the stronger winds away as well, just a few spots of rain left in the far north of scotland for a while on tuesday, otherwise it is dry and could be quite sunny, a little bit breezy along the south coast <\/a>of england and through the english channel,<\/a> those temperatures getting up to 20 even in scotland on tuesday.<\/a> Highpressure still around for the middle part of the there is the tail end <\/a>of the there is the tail end <\/a>of the weather front approaching the weather front approaching the far northwest of scotland, where the winds will be a little stronger, there will be a band of cloud <\/a>here but little or no rain. 0therwise a band of cloud <\/a>here but little or no rain. Otherwise it is dry under the high, again breezy across the south of england, could be some missed and fast mist and fog <\/a>patches earlier across the uk, temperatures widely 19 or we could reach the mid 20s <\/a>across some southern parts of england and wales around the middle of the week. The next question is, how long will it stay this way? some models like to bring this rain a bit <\/a>further north but we are sticking with the dry theme dominated by highpressure, again whether winds are light they may well be some mist and fog <\/a>around in the morning. But it is not too cold overnight, for many, minimum temperatures will still be in double figures and by day we have wide temperatures 19 21 so a bit different from what we have seen over the past few days. Live from washington, this is bbc news. The uk prime minister <\/a>has been visiting the white house <\/a>with support for ukraine top of the agenda. In ukraine russian strikes have killed at least 11 civilians. Plus: thousands of boeing employees are on strike. It's another setback amid major financial losses. Hello, i'm ros atkins.<\/a> Uk prime minister keir starmer <\/a>and us presidentjoe biden <\/a>have been meeting in washington, dc. The war in ukraine was top of the agenda. And one key question was whether the west will allow ukraine to use longrange missiles to hit targets in russia. The us in particular has been relucant to ok this for fear of retaliation and escalation <\/a>from moscow. And there's been no indication that the issue is resolved. First here's keir starmer at the white house <\/a>earlier. Well, we've had a long and productive discussion on a number of fronts including ukraine, as you'd expect, the middle east,<\/a> the indopacific. The only one reason we are having these discussions and that's because vladimir putin <\/a>has invaded ukraine and the quickest way to resolve this, obviously, lies through what vladimir putin <\/a>does because it's fu him to end this but","publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"archive.org","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","width":"800","height":"600","url":"\/\/ia804606.us.archive.org\/15\/items\/BBCNEWS_20240914_003000_Click\/BBCNEWS_20240914_003000_Click.thumbs\/BBCNEWS_20240914_003000_Click_000001.jpg"}},"autauthor":{"@type":"Organization"},"author":{"sameAs":"archive.org","name":"archive.org"}}],"coverageEndTime":"20240914T12:35:10+00:00"}
