1:41 am
1:42 am
this is bbc news. we'll have the headlines and all the main news stories for you at the top of the hour, straight after this programme. lara: as thousands of tech companies l descended on las vegas this month for the consumer electronics show, we've been bringing you
1:43 am
some of the highlights. spencer: but this week, we're getting away from the show floor. i've been made to work up a sweat and he's been sent to freeze. but first up, we're going below the bright lights of the strip with james clayton as he checks out an unusual way to get from a to b. james: las vegas convention center is huge. it can take half an hour to walk across it. however, there's a new way to get around — tunnels with teslas in them. this is what elon musk claims is the future of transport, so we're here in las vegas to check it out. the station looks like a cross between a taxi rank and a subway. i've never been here before, and it's very pleasant. it kind of feels quite cool. but the most obvious thing that you notice is that there aren't fumes here, and you kind of realise,
1:44 am
first off, that this would absolutely not be possible without electric cars. but this isn't quite what elon musk had envisaged when he created the boring company. elon musk�*s initial idea was incredibly ambitious, that people in teslas would be transported into this huge network of tunnels and they'd be transported at more than ioomph using its autonomous features. this emphatically isn't that. however, even though this is pretty far away from what elon musk said he wanted to create, many people at ces loved it. excuse me, madam. i'm from the bbc. we're just asking people what they thought about the loop just now. i love it. you loved it? it's really cool. how much would you give it out of ten? ah, ten. well, not quite everyone. it'sjust like the classic meme of, like, oh, let's reduce- the number of drivers i by linking them together and make it more efficient. by putting it on a steel wheel and bubble loading platforms,
1:45 am
and they're just - reinventing the subway. there's also a much more fundamental question, which is — is this actually a good idea? if you look at the number of teslas here that are all being driven by expensive humans, it kind of begs the question — why notjust use a train? we didn't want to just be able to move people around our campus in an efficient way. we wanted them to kind of have a smile on their face at the end of the day, and so when you see the lights in the tunnel and the energy of the music, there's a big love for teslas that really came together in an exciting way. and to be fair, this kind of does work, at least for a las vegas convention centre. it's fun and a bit different. but is this really going to revolutionise transport? the boring company had announced projects in la and baltimore and washington. however, these projects appear to have disappeared from the company's website. over ces, the boring company

claimed nearly 100,000 people used the loop. that's a lot. and there's hope the cars will soon be autonomous too. however, its real test will be in the years to come. can it go from a gimmicky convention centre ride to a genuine travel game changer? many will be watching here in las vegas to see whether this is yet more elon musk hype or something genuinely important. and when it comes to elon musk, it's often hard to tell which that is. lara: back in vegas, i we've been checking out some of the sports tech on show at ces. spencer: let me tell you about the time i ended up making a complete fool of myself on frank sinatra's golf course. mind you, it all started indoors. this is phigolf, an app and accompanying weird club ball hybrid thing that certainly does have about the right weight. the sensors in the ball tell the app how far your shot

would have gone, and the app allows you to play online with friends wherever they are in the world. oh, there we go. straight down the green. more immersive is golfplus, a vr game that turns your controller into the club. i like the way my controller really does feel like a club. as i tap it on the ground, i can feel the controller vibrating. nice touch. once you've got the hang of it, you can play on replicas of golf courses around the world. i tell you, this vr lark really is getting quite realistic. it's pretty immersive and it does feel like i'm kind of on a golf course, but i think it's time to try it for real. it don't mean a thing if you ain't got that swing, as ella fitzgerald once said. not sure how much she knew about golf, but it was certainly more than me.
1:48 am
talking of swing, i'm going to get mine assessed. erick schlimmer is a pga apprentice and stanford golf instructor, and he's been helping to test a new online golf tuition service called golfhow. the app uploads videos of your swing to the cloud, where software analyses it and sends suggestions on changes to your posture. it'll have its work cut out with me, because i've never played a round in my life. not bad. it moved. so...let�*s have a look. "keep your back straight and tilt straight forwards." there's a model of the perfect swing and that is broken down into pieces all over the body. so itjust kind of overlays you on that perfect model. is the perfect swing the same for everyone, regardless of how they're built? there are no two swings that are the same. right. it's like a fingerprint. now, you may have seen

all sorts of cool graphics and shot analyses turning up on tv coverage of your favourite sports and that expertise is now being used to help amateur players too. this app is called golfboy. what you do is point the iphone straight down at the green, it will auto—detect the ball and then what's really clever is thatjust by looking straight down, it can have a good guess at how far the ball is going to go and how high. now, that wasn't bad. the app takes 240 photos per second and uses them to give you your estimated stats. 0k, look, i'm nota golfer, so i think i'm going to leave this rather chilly course and go for a different kind of drive, one that leads to the 19th hole. lara: it's that time of year when many of us
1:50 am
want to get in shape, and i prance about testing some of the latest fitness gadgets. this is the i—percut, a smart punchbag cover, which you can put over any punch bag. at the moment, i'm in free mode, which means that i can decide what i want to hit. but you can also set it to guided mode where it'll light up in each of the sensors and make sure that you're hitting in the right spot. having to see through the full workout and competing against yourself did feel more motivating than just punching at random. but it is harder work than it looks, even doing it like this. i'm a bit slow with this. i'd be in terrible trouble if there was a person punching. and as with any activity tracking, you can be surprised by its findings. bit exhausting, really. but i'm done for now. i'm looking at the data and there's some
1:51 am
surprising news here. generally very weak, not very skilled — but apparently with my knees, i was pretty strong and i thought i was doing much better with the upper body. but it's my lower body that i was much stronger at. i was particularly weak at the top, although i did keep going and i think the stamina element is also quite important. so it's notjust about how hard you hit, honestly. here's another for the reflexes. blazepod is a workout for the mind and body that's shifting from use by professional athletes and coaches to any of us. the idea is that these pods light up different colours and you've got to move quickly from one to another as they light up, each one assigned for a different exercise. now, you set it all through the app. there's loads of different workouts you can plan and then you just tap your foot on here to get started. 0k, green is starjump. red is... what was red?
1:52 am
red was...push—ups! now for another workout, i have to tap each one as it lights up at speed. this involves less thought, but more needing to move fast and hit it properly. a bit stressful. reminds me of that dance game i used to play. there are also multiple player options and the system is recommended for rehab, where testing memory and reaction times can be pivotal for recovery. 0h! please tell me this is over. after all of that, i think i deserve a break. so now i'm testing a breathing coach. 0xa is this device which comes attached to a loungewear bra and connects to an app.
1:53 am
i'm wearing one now and it's going to monitor how calm i am, my breathing rate and my heart rate. the aim is that overall it makes you feel less stressed and sleep better. but right now, it's time for some meditation. i could go to sleep, but i don't think i'm meant to. of course the whole idea of meditation is that you've got to keep doing it. um, let's see. my journey to calmness. it's worked! i've become calmer since i've been doing it. my score has gone up from 66 to 72. my average calmness is that i'm relaxed. she sighs 0k, every time i test any stress—related device, it tends to indicate that if i was any calmer, i'd be dead. but at least there was some change here. and if i want to get all worked up again, well, i definitely know how to do that too. oh, the push—ups, they're the worst ones. groans

tell you what, i wouldn't mess with you after watching you box. mm, the kicks were a bit clumsy, though, but it was a workout and it was fun. it depends on your definition of fun, i suppose. anyway, that's it from us, from las vegas. thanks for watching. we'll be back next week. see you. hello there. at the moment the weather is not quite as you expected to be. it is much milder across north was about of the uk, cold in south—eastern areas. not to get to thursday that things even out. we are going to keep the block of cold air until
1:55 am
south—eastern errors. until then the milder atlantic as struggling to break through the cold air that we continue to see in southern areas. we do see in southern areas. we do see some sunshine, perhaps over more of england and wales across monday. some mist and fog perhaps low to live in a place of a cloud in east anglia and the south—east. further north and east we are in the milder atlantic air, that means a lot of cloud, maybe not as thick as it was on sunday. could be sungshan around the moray firth, generally 10— ii moray firth, generally 10— 11 degrees in scotland and northern ireland but struggling to three or four across southern england our best. the milder atlantic air coming in around the top of high pressure, it is underneath at area of high pressure that things are quite still and we have got the cold conditions. a real mixture on tuesday across southern parts of the uk, some low cloud around, mist and fog, sunshine beach binta break through perhaps, as you had further north we are with the generally cloudier skies, northern england, visit scotland, northern ireland, some donors and drizzle coming

from the out, should be bright in eastern scotland, temperatures 11 degrees here only four or five in the midlands. as we head into wednesday we start to see the weather changing a little because we find this weather front moving down from the north, pushing away some of that area of high pressure. we have a band of cloud and rain, not much rain, most in the hills in western scotland, followed by some sunshine and a few showers in scotland. quite a change in the weather here, temperatures will be a bit lower perhaps. as you head down into england and wales ahead of the band of rain we have got a lot of cloud misty weather, and still quite cold in east anglia and the south—east. weather front moves followed by a northerly wind, not particular cool because the winds originate from the middle part of the atlantic around that area of high pressure. we will find a bit more sunshine around on thursday. could be a chilly start, the risk of a touch of frost here all there, one or two showers during the day, on the whole dry was spells of
1:57 am
sunshine and tempted by this stage our evening out. typically eight or nine degrees. as we head towards the end of the week we are still dominated by this area of high pressure from the atlantic. coming into what we have another weakening weather front moving down from the north—west. they will eventually bring rain into north—west scotland and stronger winds. with the area of high pressure coming things down once again for many areas it will be variable cloud, chilly start, mist and fog badges, and maybe a bit of sunshine coming through. and we end the week as we start the week with the highest temperatures in western scotland and northern ireland. as we had further on, this is thejet as we had further on, this is the jet stream pattern through friday. it will not change too much into the outlook as well because we will keep this area of high pressure anchored to the south—west. weather front and areas of low pressure will topple their way around the top of that area of high pressure, so occasionally we will get a burst of rain followed by some showers, mainly affecting scotland, perhaps northern ireland. forthe
1:58 am
scotland, perhaps northern ireland. for the most part for the outlook we have a north—westerly wind, not a cold wind by any means, and is temperatures are pretty mild for the time of year, typically around 8— ii for the time of year, typically around 8— 11 degrees. don't expect a great deal of sunshine in the outlook.
