Its time for click. This week spotting early signs of dementia, giving the banks the finger, and man falls off skateboard. Theme music. Here is something that splits opinion, you either love these or you hate them. Depending, really on whether you ride one, or whether youve had a Close Encounter with one. These e scooters are powered by electric motors and that leads to something really interesting that not many people know in the uk, these things are not legal on public roads and they are not legal on public pavements. So although they are getting more and more popular, and companies are hiring them out to ride on private routs like here at the Queen Elizabeth olympic park in london, where they are and speed ltd, the law there is hugely around the world geofenced and their speed is limited. These can reach 30 miles an hour, which is very cool, or very dangerous, depending on your experiences with them. Not long ago, presenter emily hundreds died while riding an is scooter. It was the first fatal collision involving one in britain hartridge. In france, there have been three personal light electric vehicles three e scooter deaths, and they are completely illegal in los angeles. Is scooters, skateboards, there is a lot of confusion over the legality of these new modes of transport. Here, at one of the busiest intersections at london, police are on the lookout for electrically powered scooters. These eco friendly and easy to ride vehicles have exploded in popularity and are rapidly transforming the make up of road traffic in cities around the world. However, as spencer pointed out earlier, with tim e scooters e scooters easily available to buy in stores, many people dont know that they are illegal to ride on the road. Why didnt the shopkeeper tell me . These e scooters are electrically powered, so e scooters are electrically powered, so they are classed as motor vehicles, so you cant ride them on pavements or bike lanes. And to ride them on roads, you need insurance, which you cant get for these like of type of vehicles. If you get caught in the uk, you could get up to six penalty points on your license and a fine of up to £300. Its about education, about letting them know you cant ride these things on the road, you cant use these things on the road. Recently, just down the road, there was a collision involving and is scooter and a 195 cc scooter. I think it sends a message that this needs to stop and the vehicles can only be used on private property or land. But, there is some confusion in the uk. The law states that personal transport devices powered by motors are prohibited for use on roads, pavements and cycle lanes. However, in the different categories listed, they dont specifically mention e skateboards, and that is catching some people out. This man was stopped by the police on his way to work, given a written warning and, while he got away without the hefty fine, he was informed that his east edward was illegal to ride. The electric skateboard is in a grey area. The police told me and i was like what . I bought this, it cost me a lot of money, ive been writing for nearly five months now, no issues at all, nothing. No issues. And now from tomorrow, from this afternoon, i cant use it. There will be queries regarding electric skateboards as well as other types of new transport. We recognise it was a growing trend with the use of e scooters around london and awareness that people werent necessarily educated that they are illegal to use on the roads and footpaths. So we have issued a numberfines and footpaths. So we have issued a number fines and also seizures of e scooters, but we have taken that message that we would like to educate the public first and foremost and speak about why they actually are illegal to ride on roads, footpaths and cycling lands. However, the uk isnt the only country grappling with restrictions on light electric vehicles. In paris, authorities have put down strict regulations. From next month there will be a 12 mph speed limit and a 135 euros fine for riding on the pavements. There is even a fine for antisocial parking. But, for enthusiasts, these restrictions are the last thing they want to hear. So, ive come to an event paris to find out what e skateboarders from around the world think about the regulations imposed on them. The are so regulations imposed on them. The are so many different types of boards here, some can go up so many different types of boards here, some can go up to 50 mph i dont know why you need to go that fast. People canjust dont know why you need to go that fast. People can just ride them and get to work, go shopping, do their normal lives. It is just such a better way to do these things. We wa nt to ta ke better way to do these things. We want to take because of the road, we wa nt to ta ke want to take because of the road, we want to take pollution of the road and have electric vehicles in. This is the future. Regulations around the world are starting to tighten up stop there are limits to 20 kilometres per hour. Can you imagine . There are no bike lanes in the city, and in paris there are no bike lanes in every street, so it is very difficult. Going 20 kilometres per hour on the street . Your board can go 50 kilometres per hour . Thats crazy it is crazy, but you do have to have full production. Protection. In melbourne, for instance, which is a really big scene in australia city, there is a policeman in that electric writers group, he cruises with everyone and there are no problems. What he says is as long as you are a reasonable citizen, youre behaving yourself, you wear protection, you are causing problems, nobody cares. Its safe, its good as everyones happy. So how safe are they . It cant be that ha rd to how safe are they . It cant be that hard to ride one of these, right . Im doing that . Ok. Hard to ride one of these, right . Im doing that . 0k. No, no, no. 0h no as you see, it isnt the easiest thing to use. And, even seasoned riders can have trouble staying on. This is the thing. People can just get a board, you dont need a license, you dont need insurance, it is that make it safe enough to drive out in the road, on the pavement . Do need training or something first . I would just like to have a piece of paper that could say i can operate this thing safely, otherwise you would grass into something or someone. Back in the uk, we contacted the department of transport and they told us they are actively examining how these late electronic vehicles can be regulated for safe use on the roads. But, for now, they are still illegal. So, this is michael. Hes the one who first introduced me to e skateboards and he is part of the community. So they are illegal to use on the roads and pavements. They are wrong. As a mechanically propelled vehicle they are illegal on the road because we dont have things like insurance or licenses is devices. The problem is, there is no legislation out the moment for that, we cant get licenses or insurance and the raid that these boards are being used, legislation needs to be put in place so we can get insurance. Its not that we dont want to, if that we cant. Whatever the cost, if it is legal, i would say go for it. Wright, michael, thank you for chatting with me. Appreciated. This is the bbc, its private land. So im out of here hello and welcome to the week intact. Its the week that Face Recognition Software was found being used in kings cross, described as alarming by some, Property Developer argent says it uses the software to ensure Public Safety but could not reveal further details. Just a few hundred miles outside of hollywood, nasajpl limos lima robot has been hard at work, scaling the steep wilds of californias death valley. And from outer space to inner self, meet this robotic buddhist priest. Douglas adams was right. The electric monk now exists and is located in a kyoto temple in japan. It now exists and is located in a kyoto temple injapan. It is hoped that the robot will be able to attract more people to the essence of buddhist teachings. And prepare for a heavy night raving with a dj orbiting the earth. A life that was paid from the International Space station to a ship full of clubbers. He said he wanted to celebrate the common language of music. Imagine being there when the base dropped from 250 miles. All right, lets talk money now, and more specifically, plastic. The last Time Technology does one of these things was more than ten years ago when they made them contact list. Nfc or Near Field Communication technology is really convenient, but not exactly secure. Anyway, that is why they limit contactless payment to £30 or the rough equivalent in other currencies. That could be extended by quite a chunk of a new security feature is added. Dan simmons has been invited to test the uks first avocado can read your fingerprint. Its a big moment in the world of money. Now western rbs star launching this natwest, although the real life ones will probably be smaller. And this should help wave goodbye to freud. What we are learning from customers as they want experiences to be simple and easy. This means they dont have to remember their pin, it means a safety a nd remember their pin, it means a safety and security perspective, they dont have to worry about standing it just point they dont have to worry about standing itjust point and someone seeing what their pin is. And within customers are seeing what their pin is. And within customers a re really seeing what their pin is. And within customers are really going to the experience. They not get an imprint . It isnt csi, it doesnt work that way. So a photograph . Ifi go higher, they go, yes, enough pixels there . That wont work. On a glass, like Police Evidence kind of things . The powder . That doesnt work. No, sorry, your television dreams are shattered. If i find somebody has got my money but they shouldnt have, will you give it back to me . You can always block your card. Is that a yes . We review on a case by case basis. That a yes . We review on a casebycase basis. Right. Ive got sort of like a card reader and the ca rd sort of like a card reader and the card itself. Im going to need that Little Black Box to kind of register my thumbprint onto the finger print reader. Ive been invited to take pa rt reader. Ive been invited to take part ina reader. Ive been invited to take part in a three month trial. The small battery and the reader is enough to power the card. After seeing my thumb from five different angles, its happy its got my print. Now, of course google and apple pay systems using our mobile phones linked to our debit card and credit card offers similar biometric security payments. But your phone costs a lot more, needs to be charged and is a lot bigger. My new ca rd charged and is a lot bigger. My new card is no thicker than a standard debit card. A step downstairs whats going on. On the right is the fingerprint reader, there is no battery inside, instead an inductive loop shown in red acting as an aerialfor the card to loop shown in red acting as an aerial for the card to receive power from the card terminal. The six dots at the top are the programming port. It is here, in the microcontroller, when my fingerprint is stored and verified. All in the card, so our biometric data never leaves our hand. A copy please. Now using the card is much as easy as it is at the moment, except you have to put your thumb, is at the moment, except you have to put yourthumb, or is at the moment, except you have to put your thumb, or whatever finger you register, over the golden box, so it can recognise it when you make the payment. A green light flashes to show all is ok, and then my plastic is not in some trick the tv producers hands. Now the other big bonus i found is my new spending limit. Normally, Contactless Payments out at £30. But this allows me to spend up to £100 because of the additional security, and i am told that by the time it comes to market that limit could be limitless, which means i could get my weekly shopping, fill up my car, and buy a bikejust my weekly shopping, fill up my car, and buy a bike just with a tap of my card. So knowing all that, will the ca rd card. So knowing all that, will the card be secure . The centre we use is dynamic, which means that each time it reads yourfinger dynamic, which means that each time it reads your finger print there needs to be a 97, 90 8 match. If there is a scratch on your finger it will take that into account so next time it knows that will be there. But does then allow for someone with a similarfingerprint to but does then allow for someone with a similar fingerprint to get into the system . Not at all, the variation is so small, there is no two people that would be within that level of variation. This would be the biggest change to payment cards ina the biggest change to payment cards in a decade, if the banks packet. Back it. So the uk based rbs and natwest trial finished on wednesday, you met Georgina Buckley in the film, georgina, the trial has finished, what have you learned . We had great engagement from customers which was the purpose of the trial, they really enjoyed the look and feel of the card and the green led light when it works, that was positive from customers. And some of the retailers Technology Needs to be upgraded to take biometric authentication which we did not expect. Making these cards cost a bit extra, and you ask customers whether they would be paid for this. We did, we had mixed results from customers, some said they would be happy to pay a fee to have that increase authentication, and others we re increase authentication, and others were not. Hopefully as we are able to roll it out more widely the average cost will come down, but we just have to see how that goes. Assuming it all works, what is the next step of the plan . We are now going to launch biometric credit cards, we will launch that pilot next month, and slightly different experience, we are not going to put a limit on it, so you would be able to use your biometric fingerprint up to use your biometric fingerprint up to the limit of your credit card. Slightly different and we should get different feedback from customers, and again learn the positives, and the negatives and then use the pilot to fuel our innovation portfolio. And when can we expect these cards to be deployed for everyone to use . Hopefully we can process the learnings later this year and then look at a broader rollout next year. There are currently an estimated 850,000 People Living with dementia in the uk. And while the most commonly assumed symptom is forgetfulness, spatial awareness, perception and the ability to read faces a re perception and the ability to read faces are also hugely affected. Laura has been looking at some logical approaches to better understand this condition. For those with apparent who have had what is known as frontal lobe dementia there is a 50 50 chance of them developing it to. But a new study hopes to offer some promise for those at high risk by again defying brain analysis, and an earlier diagnosis would mean the chance to try and treat the condition sooner. Gamifying. Early detection of the manager is important because we understand that by the time people start to notice the symptoms of dementia like memory loss, it might actually be quite extensive changes in the brain. This app is actually developed for 30 and ao year old people to use, to help diagnose the possible early stages of dementia stop i have to say, i was a little bit nervous about doing this, because i was worried i was going to find out the thing i didnt wa nt going to find out the thing i didnt want to. But it seems that because it is still very early days of the trial, right now this will alljust come down to some anonymous data, so i wont actually get that answer back. But the questions are a mixture of whether you will get it right, the time you do it in, or whether you are going to be able to finish each section in time. And it is from that that the decision as to whether you already have early stage dementia or not can be made. Whether you already have early stage dementia or not can be madem whether you already have early stage dementia or not can be made. It is a series of 18 different games which effectively test different cognitive functions. It might be executive function, visual, language, spatial, arithmetic, so the games are designed to test different areas of the brain. You also get symbols about benefits such as being able to measure timings and accuracy of when people answer things and how they enter things. So by being much more sensitive than paper based testing system, again, you have got a hope of treating things. This is pa rt a hope of treating things. This is part of a year long study. The test is taken every three months, as well asa is taken every three months, as well as a paper test at the start and finish. 20 of those taking part already have symptoms. The others are those with a 50 chance of developing frontal lobe dementia. we can show efficacy in the wider dementia population, then that might be something that can be used at the front line by gps, but it is very important to do that alongside genetic counselling and all the other implications of a diagnosis. Genetic counselling and all the other implications of a diagnosislj have other implications of a diagnosis. have real hope that the app can help people with frontal lobe dementia by measuring sensitive changes in their cognition and as part of a wider study, that can be used to measure the effects of new and novel types of treatment and drugs to see if they are actually having a benefit or performance on these type of tests and apps. And of course it is not just the tests and apps. And of course it is notjust the patient tests and apps. And of course it is not just the patient whose life tests and apps. And of course it is notjust the patient whose life is affected. The loved ones it can be a hot racking and frustrating journey. And often one that is hard to comprehend. This is a Vr Experience that aims to put you in the position of the person who has dementia. To be able to help you provide a bit more empathy for a loved one or simply understand more about the condition. Use this voice. My daughter is talking to me, but the voice is saying they cant hear her. I feel very disconnected and im not sure if that is a deliberate part of the experience just because she is a person in virtual reality. Why is she chatting on the phone. She is agitated and talking about dad again. Is she talking about me . I think this is how not to treat a relative with dementia. No, i dont think it is time to be thinking about a home. Apparently i have misheard and i want to go home, i dont feel safe. I have become a bit muddled, it certainly stirs up quite a reaction. Ifelt frustrated, a bit confused at times, anxious and actually quite hurt by the way i was being dealt with by my daughter. So i think there is a lot going on in the experience to thi
