Now its time for a look at the weather with nick. Storm or is bringing some windy weather across parts of the uk at the moment. Storm dennis. This is especially across wales and england for example. These are the gusts of the next hours into the evening, and we are likely to see some close to 70 mph around some exposed coasts, and lots of wet weather running gcioss and lots of wet weather running across northern ireland, Northern England and scotland through the evening and overnight. Some rain and hills know our round, elsewhere showers could be thundery with hail in places. Temperatures above freezing, it is so windy out there. Tomorrow, further rain and hill snow in scotland, giving significant accumulation in places. Sunshine and showers out there, on another blustery day, but the gales slowly easing as we go deeper on into the day, so the wind is not as gusty by the end of the day, and it will feel quite chilly out there, as will much of the week ahead. The sunshine and showers and frosty nights. Goodbye. Hello this is bbc news. The headlines. The first case of coronavirus contracted in the uk confirmed in surrey and this afternoon, three more positive tests, bringing the total to 23. An emergency meeting in france, where the government has banned all events with more than 5,000 people after detecting 16 new cases. And in tenerife, a fifth case has been confirmed at the hotel thats been on lock down since tuesday morning. The most senior Civil Servant in the Home Office Sir Philip Rutnam resigns and says hell sue the government for constructive dismissal after a public dispute with home secretary priti patel. I have been the target of a vicious and orchestrated briefing campaign. It has been alleged that i had briefed the media against the home secretary. This, along with many other claims is completely false. More than 80 flood warnings in place across england and wales, as many already struggling communities brace themselves for storm jorge. More news at the top of the hour. Time now for click. This week. How can this fit in here . And is the new folding huawei up to scratch . And its my entry for eurovision. Heart rate, temperature, steps, diet, these days we can track all of our vitals. All of this data can help us to understand and tweak our lifestyles, but its also moved way beyond the basics, allowing smartphone connected devices to monitor conditions like asthma or diabetes from home. Lara lewington has been to meet someone whos using something a little bit more advanced a smartwatch to monitor his health. Hes had a tiny computer inserted into his heart. Around 26 Million People worldwide are suffering from heart failure, where the heart is struggling to pump blood around the body. For some time now technology has been used to keep track of heart conditions. So ive come here to hammersmith hospital, where an innovative procedure is being carried out. 71 year old retiree andrew lives with heart failure, requiring precise medication to keep him well. Whats stopping you, it is breathlessness or is a pain in the chest . Well, its breathlessness. But its not like a fit persons breathlessness. I was having a monthly appointment with consultants. And, of course, with walking is always a problem, because wards a quite a long way apart. I can walk 15 yards and then i have to pause and gather breath. Today, though, andrews having a tiny microcomputer inserted into his heart. What we want to offer you is a device that will sitjust on here thats able to monitor the pressure in the left atrium. It will give doctors access to continuous data so any changes to his condition could trigger an alert. Getting prior warning would keep me out of hospital and would mean i could be treated at home. This is the second procedure of its kind in the uk. Up until now weve never been able to get this data in a patient whos not in an operating theatre with a catheter positioned in the heart. So this is, potentially, a major step forward. It means we can adjust the medication in the early stage, which reduces symptoms and, critically, reduces admissions to hospital. The device is threaded through the veins into the heart. Once in place, its wings will open, securing a sensor inside the left atrium. And the really cutting edge bit a microcomputer in the right. To reduce the size of the implant, we developed a proprietary technology that enabled digital transmission of the data without a battery. It charges a bit like a phone with a wireless charger. The belt powers the device as well as sucking the data from it so it can be sent to the cloud. From there, ai algorithms interpret the readings to flag if a doctor needs to take action. The more data we will gather throughout the time, the better our ai based system will be. Finally, its time for andrew to go into surgery. Doctors use ultrasound probes and x ray vision to see inside his body. Equipment is fed through his veins and a central wall in andrews heart is pierced so the device can be put in place. This is usually the riskiest part of the procedure. The device is now going into the heart. Fortunately for andrew, all goes to plan, as this is the only way to get data directly from the left atrium. The device has now been released from the catheter and is sitting on the septum. You can see the two sides of the umbrella of the device are attached to either side of the septum to secure it there. The procedures gone very nicely. Its a perfect result. A month after the operation, we met to look at the data that had been collected and how useful it seemed. These look like perfect traces, like the traces we would see if we had an invasive catheter at the time of a procedure. So this is very, very good quality data. What does this mean for the data that youre looking at long term . We will be able to see changes within the pressure in andrews heart. And this is likely to be before he develops symptoms, so we can adjust his medication to try to prevent worsening of his symptoms. And that way we will be able to keep andrew as he is now, nice and stable. How has this changed your life . Emotionally it has. In that i can see a future now. I felt id just been put in a filing cabinet, just waiting for something nasty to happen. But now theres possibilities of further treatment. What would you say to anybody else in a similar situation to you about the trial what youve experienced so far . Consider it. I think it will improve their life. Hello and welcome to the week in tech. It was the weak concerns over coronavirus wiped more than 238 billion off the stock value from the five biggest us tech firms. The uk broadcasting regulator ofcom found that radiation levels of 5g are well within health and safety limits and a us enquiry found that the death of a tesla driver, while his car was in self driving mode, was caused by the drivers over reliance on the autopilot system. In is that really necessary robot news, how about searching for a book with an autonomous librarian . The around bee is a service bot that guides you to books youre looking for. And, if youre suffering from carrying just a few too many, will carry them for you. If youve ever thought a robot could do with a softer touch, a jellyfish would probably agree. This silicon fingered robot helps pick up jellyfish and other deep Sea Creatures without accidentally squishing or harming them. The handy soft bot also seems to cause less stress to the animals. And, finally, researchers at Japans Osaka University have developed a robot that can feel, sense, and express pain. But, for someone unthinkable reason, theyve made it look like a child. The disembodied robot is programmed to smile, grimace, and wince. Its hoped that teaching it to recognise pain will help the Artificial Intelligence learn empathy and so better care for humans. Lets just hope it doesnt learn to feel revenge. The end of february every year is a big time for us. Having painstakingly planned for months and fought thousands of other journalists for access to the big stories, we head to barcelona for the mobile world congress. Its where the Big Companies launch their big new phones and the Small Companies show off clever new innovations that may one day change the world. Only this year, as you may know, mwc is off. Cancelled because of concerns over the spread of the coronavirus. Its proved a nightmare for the telecoms industry but our chris fox, who was due to cover, thinks hes going to get a week off, however, not everyone has cancelled. Some companies have gone to barcelona anyway. So ive got a bit of news for chris. The cancellation of mwc has been nothing short of a nightmare, especially for me, i couldnt cancel my flights at such short notice and id been left stranded here in barcelona with no work to do. It turns out huawei hasnt cancelled its flights either and are still doing a press conference right now. With the venue already booked and huawei executive richard yu already in town, the company decided to do its launch event anyway. Only this time it was pre recorded a day early and played out on the big screen. The big reveal was the follow up to its first folding phone. And here it is. The folding huawei mate xs. If i open the instagram here, theres some pictures of dogs, and if i open the phone out, the pictures expand to fill the view. One thing i cant show you is google maps, because the phone still doesnt have those google apps. In fact, huaweis now added its own app gallery which it says will be a competitor to the Google Play App store. Snapchat, tiktok, they are on there, the Sun Newspaper is on there, and bbc news, but some big ones are missing, of course. Now, the concerns with folding phones as that displays might be easily damaged because theyre flexible. Now, huawei says since the original mate x it has made the screen more resistant. Although i have seen a display screen with a big old scratch on it. Huawei says there will be cases available. Also revealed was a smart speaker. Here it is, its called the soundex. All you do is tap the phone here to pair and then you can play your music, including from spotify, because that is in the app gallery. So here we go. Loud music plays thats quite loud. Oh no. So one thing they did tell me was you can put your hand over to silence the speaker if its too loud. And that should have silenced it then. Now, the company says the way the speakers here are configured is one faces this way and one faces the other way so the vibrations cancel each other out. So they say you can turn it up twice as loud as the apple homepod without it vibrating itself off the table. And that was very loud. While we are here, can we talk about product names . We have the matebook, the matepad pro, and the m pencil. I wonder where they got their inspiration from . On the outskirts of town, toothbrush giant oral b pressed on with an immersive dinner and light show experience, and if you are why wondering why a toothbrush company is at mobile world congress, well, their toothbrushes have bluetooth in them. Obviously the new oral b io has a magnetic drive, they say, is whisper quiet, although to test that i have to go somewhere silent and i knowjust the place usually at this time of year this place is full of the worlds mobile phone industry but i cant think of a quieter place, this time, to test the toothbrush, so, here we go. I will hold at the same distance from my mic, so this is the regular oral b. Whirring. Very noisy. This is the new one. Whirring. Also, fairly noisy and they said in the presentation this is the toothbrush that whispers but i am not convinced that is a whisper. The ultimate test is, of course, whether you can hear it through the bathroom door and whether it will disturb your partner so we tested that in the hotel and the resounding results of our very scientific test is, yes, you can still hear it through the bathroom door. Honor also went through its new Product Launch the new view 30 pro phone has a dual view recording mode, so you can take videos with a wide angle lens and close up lens at the same time. Realme was planning to come to mwc for the first time this year, though but they did it in madrid instead. The x50 pro comes with a new focus mode that lets you lock yourself out of the phone for a few minutes and listen to relaxing sounds. Perfect to combat the stress of reorganising your plans because due to coronavirus. A new event has risen from ashes of this years mwc. The phoenix event is a chance for companies, whose plans were disrupted, to meet and pitch their ideas. I dont think anything will substitute the person to person interaction. I was having this conversation with someone at a networking event this morning and itsjust, when you have a physical connection, i think business is just different. In the end, the wmc week was not a complete disaster for everybody. Theres also some interesting 5g innovation going on underground, just in time for mwc week, as omar mehtab found out. Recently, it has been impossible to avoid 5g at mwc. Well, this year you can because there is no show, so, the city and these train halls are eerily silent. But one project looking to make its debut for this years event has still gone ahead and it is all happening below the surface. And before showgoers even reached mwc, they were going to experience the superfast mobile Network Coverage on the underground on the way there. The 5g Barcelona Initiative was set up to provide the city with the next generation of mobile broadband. It is currently available between four stations of barcelonas Train Service, including europa theatre, the closest station to where mwc takes place. But 5g isnt just available on the train platform. Its also available in the tunnel as the train travels, becoming one of the first in the world to do so. Lets see how fast the coverage is down here. I was getting around 1. 1 gigabytes per second on average on the platform but it was quite a bit lower when travelling on the train. The speed does differ between going down the tunnel and being in the station. Its slightly lower in the tunnel and it does vary. Sometimes it can be as high as 500 meg or it can be as low as 170 but, saying that, you are still getting decent coverage down in a tunnel and it meant i could watch a bit of click with barely any loading time whatsoever. But how is this achieved . Well, we waited until the Train Service was closed so we could get into the tunnel and check out the 5g antenna. Each set of antennae are roughly 500 metres apart with 15 currently installed between four stations, but only vodafone provides 5g coverage in barcelona, and they own all the masts on the train line but the plan is to this for the entire train network. However, there is no clear date when this will happen. 5g requires more masts than Previous Network connections, so this setup can be quite complex. These are the first steps. Very difficult for us to make all the installation at this moment. It is expensive. But we think it is a good investment for the city. If other networks come in and say, we want to do 5g down in the rail network, then will vodafone share the masts or will they have to install their own masts . We want to provide different operators and Different Networks our services with vodafone. Perhaps this is possible, of course, because vodafone is the owner of this network. You have to hope they say yes . We have to be prepared for this situation in the next furture. But, until then, this 5g set up will act as a test lab for companies to create and test their apps, both to improve their Railway Logistics and what travellers can do on their phones whilst on theirjourney. It looks like 5g is becoming part of the daily commute here in barcelona, but we did hit a little bit of problem. When testing the speed of the 5g network, we hit the data limit, we used about ten gigs in about an hour, so you might want to switch to an unlimited plan this is a piano and this, quite frankly, is all i know how to do. Play these four chords over and over again until you get a massive hit trust me, it works. But learning an instrument properly takes hard work. It takes skill and it takes a great teacher, none of which i have, but take a look at this. This is ar piano. You point your phone at your keyboard and, hey presto you get a virtual virtuoso to show you how to tackle complex piano pieces and the interesting thing is you can slow it right down and get really close, so you can see how you are supposed to shape your hands as he moved from one note to the next. The problem is im not quite sure how to hold the phone with one hand and get both hands in to copy what he is doing, so. There is a way to get more hands on, though, or more accurately, hands in. Lj rich tried a prototype which its makers promise can teach anyone to play. This little keyboard wants to teach you how to read music. So many people come up to me and say, i really wish i had learned to play an instrument but its too late for me now, and i really dont think thats the case. Certainly, with some technology, it could be easier than you think to play your favourite song. Music company roli took me inside their hq to show me its prototype keyboard, a lumi, a light up bluetooth device aiming to give everyone an opportunity to learn their favourite song. Now, light up keys are available on quite a few entry level keyboards but the lumi has multicoloured leds so it can make it easy to find where you are if all the c notes are, red, for example. Sheet music has stayed the same for hundreds of years, originating from writing down hand movements the choir master. The ceo of roli, amongst others, feels it is time to bring reading music into the 21st century. Still, most people today, when they learn to play music, they learn to read music with a traditional score. That is a quill based technology. Even the shapes of the notes, even though they are not perfect circles, has to do with a quill pen and how you would write with that and that kind of calligraphy from 500 years ago. It is remarkable that that form of notation and system is still what we use today. The device connects to an ipad and with the help of an app and something that gives you a little bit more than just notes on a page. There is an element of intimacy or even privacy with the music learning experience. If you have a lumi and the lumi app and put on your headphones, you are in your own learning word and go at your own pace and the app will give you feedback. It is between you and the instrument and you do not feel like necessarily you are being judged in a way that you may if you had a teacher or parents looking over your shoulder. It is likely the software may prove more lucrative than the hardware. Choose is a son
