0:00:10 > 0:00:15This week, a full body of key's favourites. A future head of state,
0:00:15 > 0:00:24and a bare bottom. -- gives' favourites.
0:00:43 > 0:00:47Today we are in Manchester, at the Children's Global Media Summit, a
0:00:47 > 0:00:51meeting of those who make the content that our children will be
0:00:51 > 0:00:56watching in the coming years. It is an event with some very important
0:00:56 > 0:01:00speakers.Parents, like Catherine and me, are raising the first
0:01:00 > 0:01:03generation of digitally immersed children. And that gives us many
0:01:03 > 0:01:08reasons to be optimistic about the impact of technology on childhood.
0:01:08 > 0:01:11And before the Duke of Cambridge gave his speech to the audience, I
0:01:11 > 0:01:15managed to grab a quick interview with one of the most talked about
0:01:15 > 0:01:24couples in the country. How are you finding the conference so far?
0:01:24 > 0:01:28Because, to be honest, my kids get more about the staff of the third
0:01:28 > 0:01:34Test a hotel than at the Palace that the behind the scenes. This will
0:01:34 > 0:01:37shape the kind of content that children will watch in the future
0:01:37 > 0:01:41and how content providers will meet the expectations of the next
0:01:41 > 0:01:47generation of viewers. Forget the generation X, generation Y, and
0:01:47 > 0:01:51generation Z, you are all over the hill, we are now talking about
0:01:51 > 0:01:54Generation U, the unlimited generation. Today's children will
0:01:54 > 0:01:59grow up expecting unlimited access to information and entertainment on
0:01:59 > 0:02:04demand. The big names are here seeking to educate by taking classes
0:02:04 > 0:02:11on virtual field trips. Under the water in a coral reef. If you want
0:02:11 > 0:02:17to know what children are up to, why not ask them? Kids split was inside
0:02:17 > 0:02:21runs anonymous questionnaires for 400 kids every week to gather data
0:02:21 > 0:02:25about the latest trends, hottest new characters, and online habits.
0:02:25 > 0:02:29Because it is not all about what kids need, there is a big industry
0:02:29 > 0:02:33that wants to make money here and target those young minds with
0:02:33 > 0:02:39messages and merchandise.We do find surprising the amount of children
0:02:39 > 0:02:44that are viewing YouTube without any parental guidance or oversight. We
0:02:44 > 0:02:48find it is probably about one third, maybe less than one third of under
0:02:48 > 0:02:53tens who are not having their Perras monitor what they are watching on
0:02:53 > 0:02:57YouTube.It is quite shocking. That is also if India. How to protect
0:02:57 > 0:03:02children from harmful content and stop them being exploited by the
0:03:02 > 0:03:05increasingly personal, interactive, and immersive technology is that
0:03:05 > 0:03:09they are using.I believe strongly in the positive power of technology,
0:03:09 > 0:03:16but I'm afraid I find the situation alarming. Meyler does not come from
0:03:16 > 0:03:20childhood immersion in technology, per se, my Al Ahram comes from the
0:03:20 > 0:03:24fact that so many parents have added your make up the rules as they go
0:03:24 > 0:03:28along -- my alarm. We have the most powerful information technology in
0:03:28 > 0:03:33human history into the hands of our children. Yet we do not yet
0:03:33 > 0:03:37understand its impact on adults, let alone at the very young.It is a
0:03:37 > 0:03:41massive concern for many parents, but there are moves to try and make
0:03:41 > 0:03:46children more savvy about online safety. As Lara Lewington found out
0:03:46 > 0:03:51when she went back to school. The opportunity for kids to access
0:03:51 > 0:03:55information and learn has never been bigger. But with that comes a
0:03:55 > 0:04:02challenge. The threats online are clear to see. But an increasing
0:04:02 > 0:04:06number of children are becoming aware of the dangers and how to
0:04:06 > 0:04:14steer clear.Never click on a link in an e-mail unless you are
0:04:14 > 0:04:18absolutely sure who it is from. Basically, these are how many
0:04:18 > 0:04:22attackers are coming in because the firewall is off.This week an
0:04:22 > 0:04:27investigation into paedophiles using live streaming apps led to nearly
0:04:27 > 0:04:31200 arrests, including... Including teachers, medics, and law enforcers.
0:04:31 > 0:04:36A batch of leading brands are suspended advertising from YouTube
0:04:36 > 0:04:40after suspect comments remained beside videos featuring children.
0:04:40 > 0:04:45This is not long after the site hit the headlines when its algorithm --
0:04:45 > 0:04:49algorithms were found to be pulling inappropriate content into its kids
0:04:49 > 0:04:52out, which was then viewed by children. Of course the company says
0:04:52 > 0:04:57it does all they can. Age restricting content in the main app
0:04:57 > 0:05:01as well is aiming to protect those using YouTube kids altogether. In
0:05:01 > 0:05:06light of the most recent issues, it is also adding an extra 10,000
0:05:06 > 0:05:10moderators to act alongside the software aiming to keep kids safe.
0:05:10 > 0:05:14But with such a wealth of information out there, who can
0:05:14 > 0:05:19actually be held accountable for what is published?First and
0:05:19 > 0:05:21foremost the tech companies themselves need to be held
0:05:21 > 0:05:26accountable. And I mean at the CEO level. All of these platforms have
0:05:26 > 0:05:30an enormous responsibility to the kids and families in their audience,
0:05:30 > 0:05:34because they are making billions of dollars of them. Second, we also
0:05:34 > 0:05:39need to see some kind of regulation that off, or others could provide
0:05:39 > 0:05:43that would say this is appropriate or not on these platforms. Because
0:05:43 > 0:05:47if you think the tech companies will self regulate, then you are kidding
0:05:47 > 0:05:52yourself. Parents have a huge role to play. It is not so much that you
0:05:52 > 0:05:56can say it is the industry's problem, but as a parent you need to
0:05:56 > 0:06:00educate yourself. This is the same as teaching your kids how to walk
0:06:00 > 0:06:04across the street and not get hit by a car. And this is really the what
0:06:04 > 0:06:08they are living in.But at the same time the benefits of this sort of
0:06:08 > 0:06:11online access can't be ignored. Hirak this central London school,
0:06:11 > 0:06:16pupils are taking part in Idea, the digital and enterprise version of
0:06:16 > 0:06:22The Duke of Edinburgh Award. What are you up to? The challenges are
0:06:22 > 0:06:29open and free to all ages to provide realise skills will stop and they
0:06:29 > 0:06:32can be done anywhere, any time. The pupils here at Westminster Academy
0:06:32 > 0:06:36are covering a range of subjects, including creating virtual reality,
0:06:36 > 0:06:42the importance of colour in photography...It is the different
0:06:42 > 0:06:50types of Carlisle. -- colours. You would reduce the hue and saturation.
0:06:50 > 0:06:54As well are some of the more serious issues surrounding safety online.
0:06:54 > 0:06:58What are the main things you feel you have come away from the server
0:06:58 > 0:07:04having learned?For all my devices use either the same password. If the
0:07:04 > 0:07:09hackers new one of my passwords they would be able to get anything. So I
0:07:09 > 0:07:12learned that and I tried to change my password is everything, even the
0:07:12 > 0:07:16school website. So I am just going to carry on with the badge.Are
0:07:16 > 0:07:19there any negatives you feel from the fact that everything is out
0:07:19 > 0:07:25there and available?You just have to be careful of false news. There
0:07:25 > 0:07:32are always these clickbait articles that pop up. I have realised it does
0:07:32 > 0:07:37not really sound right.It is a new problem, really, the fake news
0:07:37 > 0:07:41issue. How do you see this will play out in the future? With you always
0:07:41 > 0:07:45be a bit wary when you resubmit as to whether it is true or not?
0:07:45 > 0:07:48Undoubtably. At that is one massive advantage of having it. We have
0:07:48 > 0:07:51become more critical as a society. We are less likely to be
0:07:51 > 0:07:56susceptible.It is not just about whether or not you have done GCSE
0:07:56 > 0:08:00computer science, it is about can you actually manipulate or apply the
0:08:00 > 0:08:05knowledge? So what we're to do, and do it in such a way that they have
0:08:05 > 0:08:08the opportunity of learning at themselves, was at the centre making
0:08:08 > 0:08:14them aware of the dangers and pitfalls that we'll see -- while at
0:08:14 > 0:08:21the same time.Over 100,000 of these bronze awards have been achieved.
0:08:21 > 0:08:25The silver to be released next April. And in a world where fake
0:08:25 > 0:08:30news has dominated the headlines, targeting us on what to think or
0:08:30 > 0:08:34buy, there will be a category called critical thinking, focusing on just
0:08:34 > 0:08:39that. It will teach the importance of how to substantiate, verify, and
0:08:39 > 0:08:44trust sources. And at the children's global media Summit, the BBC also
0:08:44 > 0:08:50announced a scheme teaching how to avoid fake news. Up to 1000
0:08:50 > 0:08:54secondary schools and sixth forms in UK will take part, with mentoring in
0:08:54 > 0:08:59how to sift out fact from fiction. But the real news right now is that
0:08:59 > 0:09:04while there may still be a way to go for things to be totally safe
0:09:04 > 0:09:08online, kids are becoming more aware and maybe at some point soon will be
0:09:08 > 0:09:15the ones educating the grown-ups. You see, it is...How can you see,
0:09:15 > 0:09:23it is so small.Yes, I have finished the badge.How are you feeling?
0:09:23 > 0:09:30This year marks ten years since Kenyans started using mobile money,
0:09:30 > 0:09:35that has transformed the lives of millions of people, allowing access
0:09:35 > 0:09:39to financial transaction services in even the most remote parts of the
0:09:39 > 0:09:44country. Mobile money is linked to your phone number and allows those
0:09:44 > 0:09:49without a bank account and make payments via text message. Even if
0:09:49 > 0:09:53poorest can top up as little as ten shillings, that is the equivalent of
0:09:53 > 0:09:56ten US cents. What has been interesting is the infrastructure
0:09:56 > 0:10:00and services that have developed off the back of is mobile money
0:10:00 > 0:10:04payments. Kate Russell went to the slums of Nairobi to meet a young
0:10:04 > 0:10:08family who are benefiting from the latest feature to be linked to the
0:10:08 > 0:10:16platform. Almost half of Nairobi's 6 million people living in slums.
0:10:16 > 0:10:21There existed a daily grind to put food and even water on the table. --
0:10:21 > 0:10:26their existence. The vast majority of Kenyans don't have any health
0:10:26 > 0:10:30insurance. And in areas like this, or where the poorest are often
0:10:30 > 0:10:33overlooked in society live, finding enough money to pay for basic
0:10:33 > 0:10:40healthcare can fall pretty low on the list of priorities. Susan lives
0:10:40 > 0:10:44in this slum, the whole family, including four kids, sharing a
0:10:44 > 0:10:49single room. Despite this trouble, she has made a commitment to save
0:10:49 > 0:10:55money for her baby's healthcare using electronic wallet M-Pesa.
0:10:55 > 0:11:03TRANSLATION:Windy day for me to go to the clinic came, I had managed to
0:11:03 > 0:11:07save 210 shillings. I was able to use that for my treatment. I chipped
0:11:07 > 0:11:12my account balance and found that it was taking care of by a Bonas out of
0:11:12 > 0:11:17my savings. The money remained in intact. I was motivated to save more
0:11:17 > 0:11:24and more and saving up for my maternity fee.The service runs on a
0:11:24 > 0:11:29M-Pesa. It encourages people to save by offering Bonas credit for savings
0:11:29 > 0:11:34and ring-fencing funds to be spent only on healthcare services from one
0:11:34 > 0:11:39of the country's 6000 registered clinics -- Bonas credit.We have
0:11:39 > 0:11:42seen the numbers of people not affording to pay for healthcare
0:11:42 > 0:11:49going down, because we encourage them to users. We see about 500 kids
0:11:49 > 0:11:55in a month. That is compared to about 100 children a month we were
0:11:55 > 0:11:59seeing.Previously when they got sick what did they do?You would
0:11:59 > 0:12:03see, most of them, they would probably use a self-medication or
0:12:03 > 0:12:09some of them are just wait until it is too late. When they go to the
0:12:09 > 0:12:13hospital probably the condition has gone so far away.Susan's
0:12:13 > 0:12:17sister-in-law works as a hairdresser in the city. She wanted to help out
0:12:17 > 0:12:21with the new baby's medical expenses. And M-TIBA allowed her to
0:12:21 > 0:12:25transfer money from her own three wallet.
0:12:25 > 0:12:30TRANSLATION:We chose M-TIBA because of its benefits. For example, if you
0:12:30 > 0:12:34save and hit a target of 100 shillings in a month, you get a
0:12:34 > 0:12:39bonus of 50 shillings. That is why we preferred M-TIBA, because also
0:12:39 > 0:12:47there is no savings limit.In just over one year, M-TIBA has gained
0:12:47 > 0:12:51over 1 million users and processed more than 100 million shillings of
0:12:51 > 0:12:57medical transactions. But it is also collecting data that can help
0:12:57 > 0:13:01clinics like Olive Link plan a better provision of service and stop
0:13:01 > 0:13:06when funding and storage space is limited.Right now we get some very
0:13:06 > 0:13:11good aggregated data, in terms of people's health utilisation habits,
0:13:11 > 0:13:16even transaction data, how much does treating maybe a malaria case cost?
0:13:16 > 0:13:20This helps a lot even in planning and also at policy level, because
0:13:20 > 0:13:27then we are able to influence the politicians of our country.Susan is
0:13:27 > 0:13:31just one of many Kenyans who have realised the importance of
0:13:31 > 0:13:33preventative care through the targeted incentives and advice
0:13:33 > 0:13:40offered by M-TIBA.Susan is like many others out there, previously
0:13:40 > 0:13:44they have not always had this tool to be able to plan and put some
0:13:44 > 0:13:48money aside for their healthcare, but now, with their mobile phone,
0:13:48 > 0:13:56they are able to do this.
0:13:57 > 0:14:04Hello, welcome to the week in Tech. It was the week Pokemon Go announced
0:14:04 > 0:14:10it would be adding weather effects to mimic the real world, and plans
0:14:10 > 0:14:17for sad poop OG were flushed away. And Facebook released a new chat app
0:14:17 > 0:14:21for children under 13. Messenger Kids has parental controls and
0:14:21 > 0:14:26Facebook says it will not collect data or display ads on the service.
0:14:26 > 0:14:30Critics warn it could get kids addicted sooner. Plans to launch
0:14:30 > 0:14:36robot taxis in Japan. They will be summoned via an hour from March next
0:14:36 > 0:14:41year. And electric black cabs were launched in London in an attempt to
0:14:41 > 0:14:46improve air quality. However, some say the extra £10,000 cost to buy
0:14:46 > 0:14:52one may put cabbies of going green. Over 31 million users' data was
0:14:52 > 0:14:57leaked after a third-party smartphone keyboard app left a
0:14:57 > 0:14:59database without password protection. It allowed access to
0:14:59 > 0:15:04phone numbers, e-mail addresses and text typed using the keyboard. And
0:15:04 > 0:15:09finally, the Mona Lisa has been recreated on a microscopic scale,
0:15:09 > 0:15:16using a process called DNA origami. The technique folds a long strand of
0:15:16 > 0:15:20DNA into a set shape and has previously been used to create a
0:15:20 > 0:15:26miniscule version of Starry Night by Vincent van Gogh off. And here is
0:15:26 > 0:15:32what I made earlier. Back at the children's global media Summit, we
0:15:32 > 0:15:36are talking about the future of storytelling, and which technologies
0:15:36 > 0:15:40content makers and commissioners might be using to capture children's
0:15:40 > 0:15:45attention in the future. Will it be VR? Will it be interactive stories?
0:15:45 > 0:15:48Will it be narrative is driven by Artificial Intelligence? After the
0:15:48 > 0:15:54panel, I caught up with one of my guests, the creative director Fulvia
0:15:54 > 0:16:03at visual effects house Frame Store. VR is so immersive, you can tackle
0:16:03 > 0:16:06these big issues. But there is also a danger with children. They are
0:16:06 > 0:16:10glued to their phones and TV is but to stick them in such an immersive
0:16:10 > 0:16:14environment, what do you have to think about?There are so many
0:16:14 > 0:16:18things. When it comes to kids that at a number of characters we have to
0:16:18 > 0:16:22think about and we have to be cautious with what we are doing.
0:16:22 > 0:16:26There is an age limit on headsets, it is 13 plus, and that is there for
0:16:26 > 0:16:30a reason. When we are designing an experienced our audience it is about
0:16:30 > 0:16:32understanding our audience and understanding how long and
0:16:32 > 0:16:36experience should be. Because they get uncomfortable after a while.
0:16:36 > 0:16:39Does it affect their behaviour? Does it affect their interaction? And I
0:16:39 > 0:16:43think all of those things we take into consideration. And part of why
0:16:43 > 0:16:48we are working with Goldsmith is we want to tackle those issues head-on
0:16:48 > 0:16:53in terms of a great VR experience. An amazing story can actually do a
0:16:53 > 0:16:57lot of good. And so we are bringing the art in the science together.
0:16:57 > 0:17:01What kind of via projects are you working on for children, at
0:17:01 > 0:17:09Framestore?We recently worked with Warner Brothers and JK Rowling on
0:17:09 > 0:17:13Fantastic Beasts and where to find them. That is an audience that
0:17:13 > 0:17:17starts with three -year-olds, that love the wizard in world, all the
0:17:17 > 0:17:20way the 80-year-old grandparents. And ultimately what great
0:17:20 > 0:17:25storytelling about this -- is about is taking someone to the heart of
0:17:25 > 0:17:28the story, and that is really, really powerful.Is it more than
0:17:28 > 0:17:32just VR, though? Are we fooling ourselves to think that the future
0:17:32 > 0:17:35of storytelling is virtual reality? There are many other technologies,
0:17:35 > 0:17:39should we be thinking about all of those?Since the time of cavemen we
0:17:39 > 0:17:43have been wired to tell stories. What is happening with the is it
0:17:43 > 0:17:49becomes another medium, another platform on which to tell a story.
0:17:49 > 0:17:53It is never going to replace a book, it is never going to replace going
0:17:53 > 0:17:57to the movies and watching an amazing Star Wars film with your
0:17:57 > 0:18:00parents. It is never going to happen. But what it does allow us,
0:18:00 > 0:18:03as storytellers, as artists, as directors, is a blank canvas.
0:18:03 > 0:18:08Another canvas to help engage people. I mean, why do we tell
0:18:08 > 0:18:13stories? We want to somebody another world. We want to bring to light. We
0:18:13 > 0:18:17want to scare them, we want to educate them. All of that is
0:18:17 > 0:18:21storytelling, and what VR allows us this amazing new platform that has a
0:18:21 > 0:18:27profound affect on how we feel. So VR adds this new layer of
0:18:27 > 0:18:31excitement. And I think it is part of the future of storytelling. It is
0:18:31 > 0:18:38not the future, it is part of the future.Here is a nice little AR app
0:18:38 > 0:18:45for kids. You download and print off your favourite character from
0:18:45 > 0:18:48CBeebies, colour it in however you like, and then you pick up your
0:18:48 > 0:18:54tablets, and look. There is the duck. You can draw other characters
0:18:54 > 0:18:59as well. For example, here is my favourite, who has the power and the
0:18:59 > 0:19:06speed, and she zooms away. Not that I am a fan or anything. And from
0:19:06 > 0:19:10some pretty decent visual effects they are to some absolutely top of
0:19:10 > 0:19:14the range visual effects now, in the form of one of the biggest films of
0:19:14 > 0:19:21the year, Paddington two. Don't just take my word for it. Ask rotten
0:19:21 > 0:19:25tomatoes, where it scored 100%. We sat down with the man who is
0:19:25 > 0:19:30responsible for bringing Paddington from Peru to the big screen, for a
0:19:30 > 0:19:35world exclusive look at how he did it. Parents, spoiler alert. We are
0:19:35 > 0:19:42about to take Paddington a part. What's this?This is London.One of
0:19:42 > 0:19:51the key areas that we began with his pre- visualisation, it is working in
0:19:51 > 0:19:54an extremely low five fashion, to be able to practically explore camera
0:19:54 > 0:19:59angles, moves, using... Working with animators who have a familiarity
0:19:59 > 0:20:06with Paddington himself. Filming without Paddington, it makes the
0:20:06 > 0:20:12process extremely abstract, that's for sure. And so we employ a variety
0:20:12 > 0:20:18of techniques. For the best part, there is a stand-in called Lauren
0:20:18 > 0:20:23who is about Paddington's height, and she will give us, everyone on
0:20:23 > 0:20:28the set, a brilliant insight into Paddington's presence. You don't
0:20:28 > 0:20:32want to make the work in post very difficult or expensive by having to
0:20:32 > 0:20:36paint blots out, so you try and minimise what is in the place of
0:20:36 > 0:20:42Paddington on the shot. I think the things that are most difficult I
0:20:42 > 0:20:46wear Paddington is interacting with objects or people in the plate. So
0:20:46 > 0:20:51you always need somebody to do that, to create either the, you know,
0:20:51 > 0:20:57touch the cloth that is going to be touched. There is statistic that if
0:20:57 > 0:21:01you put all the man hours together it would be 75 years of someone's
0:21:01 > 0:21:05life to do all the visual effects on Paddington, so that sort of gives
0:21:05 > 0:21:10you a bit of perspective. On how much work is involved. Fundamental
0:21:10 > 0:21:16was that he lives in... That you would believe him, he had to be
0:21:16 > 0:21:20hyperrealistic, he had to live in a real space. You know, we are always
0:21:20 > 0:21:24very careful to not reveal too much whites of the eyes, to have eyes
0:21:24 > 0:21:30that sort of look too cartoony. To contain all the gestures. Often an
0:21:30 > 0:21:33animator will first pick up Paddington and they will go for very
0:21:33 > 0:21:36obvious statements, and Paddington is not about that. You take it all
0:21:36 > 0:21:40away, it is all in what is absolutely necessary, and it is a
0:21:40 > 0:21:45sort of small shift of the brow here, and a dart that that tells you
0:21:45 > 0:21:50he is thinking. And I think, you know, once you get into that, the
0:21:50 > 0:21:54small, then you can start engineering these sort of...
0:21:54 > 0:21:58Carefully placing these sort of beats. That is when it starts to
0:21:58 > 0:22:03feel genuine, and live and breathe as a real character, and something
0:22:03 > 0:22:08that you can hopefully fall in love with. The train chase obviously is a
0:22:08 > 0:22:13particular set piece, was inordinately complicated. But even
0:22:13 > 0:22:16within the prison, you know, the ceilings have been extended, and the
0:22:16 > 0:22:23atrium. There is a huge amount of set extension, when we are lifting
0:22:23 > 0:22:30off in the balloon, and he is escaping with Knuckles, the entire
0:22:30 > 0:22:34prison exterior is a fabrication that is CGI. Simple little scenes
0:22:34 > 0:22:38like the one where he travels through the prison, it is
0:22:38 > 0:22:42transforming, and you are seeing his effect on the place on and everyone
0:22:42 > 0:22:48is making cakes, that was a massively complicated sequence,
0:22:48 > 0:22:52because of the very partisan sort of way in which we wanted to make this
0:22:52 > 0:22:59prison transform and that sort of Michel Gondry like musical
0:22:59 > 0:23:04appearance to all the things. It took many, many... A lot of
0:23:04 > 0:23:08planning, with many passes on motion control, back and forwards, an
0:23:08 > 0:23:11exploration of what would work, doing things on and off. Almost
0:23:11 > 0:23:18infinite possibility, that we needed to play through. But no, there is a
0:23:18 > 0:23:21lot of augmentation, always through the film. I think probably almost
0:23:21 > 0:23:25every shot you could point to something and go, OK, well, that
0:23:25 > 0:23:28photograph has been inserted in that frame and that sky has been changed
0:23:28 > 0:23:34there, or that Reg didn't exist, you know. And there is a lot of that
0:23:34 > 0:23:47stuff, all very understated.Ow. Thank you, Mr Brown. And that's it
