SOUNDBITE: (Japanese) Professor Atsuo Takanishi, of the Faculty of Science and Engineering, Waseda University: "For a robot to be useful in human life, the robot needs to communicate with humans to do what humans command it to do. To achieve natural communication between humans and robots, expressing feeling is an important factor." 11. Wide of Takanishi and robot ROBOT GETS EMOTIONAL A walking humanoid robot that is able to use its whole face and body to express emotion was unveiled on Tuesday (23JUN09) in Japan. The robot was created by scientists at Tokyo's Waseda University and is thought to be the first of its kind according to its makers. It is able to express a range of different emotions, including happiness, fear, surprise, sadness, anger and disgust, by opening and closing its eyes, moving its lips and eyebrows, and using its arms and legs. The robot is installed with 48 "actuators" which allow its face and body to move in a variety of ways. It shows happiness by opening its eyes and mouth wide and raising its arms, and sorrow by drooping its head and covering its eyes. The robot's hands are covered with a soft material which is supposed to replicate the feeling of a human hand. Professor Atsuo Takanishi and his team at Waseda University's Faculty of Science and Engineering, spent the last two and a half years creating the robot, which they called "KOBIAN". Takanishi believes KOBIAN is the first robot able to express emotion with its entire body. He said the ability to express feeling was an "important factor" in achieving "natural communication" between robots and humans. The professor hopes robots such as KOBIAN could be used in the future to help elderly people with housework and in nursing homes. But he said the robot was still at the prototype stage and was not yet able to interact with humans emotionally apart from through its set of pre-programmed responses. Takanishi said it could be several decades before robots such as KOBIAN can be used to help people in their homes. Waseda University set up the Humanoid Robotics Institute in April 2000 to carry out research on creating new relationships between humans and machines. According to its website, the institute hopes to create a robot which will eventually experience the same patterns of thought and behaviour as a human being. Territory.

Boy throwing bucket of water at police officer riding on passing vehicle WET WEDNESDAY Residents of San Juan, a suburb of Manila, celebrated the feast day of the town's patron saint on Wednesday (24JUN09) by dousing each other with water. The festivities commemorate the feast of Saint John the Baptist, after whom the town was named. The revellers soaked residents and passers-by with water to depict the baptism, a Christian sacrament, which Saint John performed on Jesus Christ. This year there were fewer passers-by to be drenched as classes in the primary and secondary schools were suspended due to a coming storm. However, this did not dampen the celebrations as the residents continued splashing each other with water, an act they believe brings good fortune.

The portraits shot exclusively by photographer Rankin, kick off Oxfam's climate change campaign across the festival season. Also featured in the campaign are The Editors' Tom Smith, The View, Luke Pritchard from The Kooks, VV Brown and Get Cape. Wear Cape. Fly. Oxfam is asking thousands of festival-goers across the summer to paint themselves blue as part of a massive visual statement to the UK government to take action on climate change before it's too late. A video of the celebrity photo shoot will debut on the big screens at Glastonbury's Pyramid Stage during the festival this weekend, showing how Rankin captured Oxfam's most ambitious celebrity photo campaign since the famous Make Trade Fair 'dumping' pictures in 2005. The blue faces campaign marks Oxfam's sixteenth year at Glastonbury. Since 1993 Oxfam has signed up the support of 400,000 people for their campaigns at Glastonbury, raised ?2.7 million through volunteers' stewarding and ?522,000 through Oxfam stalls on-site. The blue faces petition will be presented to the UK government ahead of December's critical climate change summit in Copenhagen, with Oxfam calling for a global deal that keeps carbon emissions at a safe level, and offers fair support to the millions of people in developing countries already suffering the effects of climate change. Glastonbury festival in Somerset runs from 25-28 June.

Maya will stay with her eight-year-old mother Ronja for at least the first year of her life. Tapirs are an endangered animal and while they often look rather like pigs with trunks they are actually related to horses and rhinoceroses.

Close Ed McMahon star on Hollywood Walk of Fame 'TONIGHT' SIDEKICK ED MCMAHON DIES AT 86 Ed McMahon, the loyal "Tonight" show sidekick who bolstered boss Johnny Carson with guffaws and a resounding "H-e-e-e-e-e-ere's Johnny!" for 30 years, died early Tuesday (23JUN09). He was 86. McMahon died shortly after midnight at Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center surrounded by his wife, Pam, and other family members, said his publicist, Howard Bragman. McMahon broke his neck in a fall in March 2007, and battled a series of financial problems as his injuries prevented him from working. On Hollywood Boulevard in Hollywood on Tuesday, workers placed flowers and a wreath bearing McMahon's name on top of his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Cameramen and reporters gathered as onlookers -- tourists and locals -- remembered McMahon. "He was a great sidekick to Johnny Carson. 'Star Search' -- a lot of stars became famous because of him," tourist Kim Ward said. "Publishers Clearing House -- he could've came to my house and said 'Hey, you're a winner! Ten million dollars!' He was just a great guy." Tom Schriber, another tourist, said: "I mean he was almost as important I think as Johnny himself in those shows. You know, the shows always began with Ed saying at some point along the line 'Here's Johnny!' A very important contribution, I think. Sorry to see him go. I understand in recent years he had fallen on hard times." McMahon and Carson had worked together for nearly five years on the game show "Who Do You Trust?" when Carson took over NBC's late-night show from Jack Paar in October 1962. McMahon played second banana on "Tonight" until Carson retired in 1992. McMahon's medical and financial problems kept him in the headlines in his last years. It was reported in June 2008 that he was facing possible foreclosure on his Beverly Hills home. By year's end, a deal was worked out allowing him to stay in his home, but legal action involving other alleged debts continued. Born Edward Leo Peter McMahon Jr. on March 6, 1923, in Detroit, McMahon grew up in Lowell, Mass. He got his start on television playing a circus clown on the 1950-51 variety series "Big Top." But the World War II Marine veteran interrupted his career to serve as a fighter pilot in Korea. McMahon and Clark also teamed up as pitchmen for American Family Publishers' sweepstakes, with their faces a familiar sight on contest entry forms and in TV commercials. McMahon was known for his ongoing commercials for Budweiser as well. Besides his wife, Pam, McMahon is survived by children Claudia, Katherine, Linda, Jeffrey and Lex. Bragman said no funeral arrangements have been made.

Trailer, 'Fight Night Round 4' SNOOP OUTBOXES MIKE TYSON -- ON AN XBOX 360 Will Smith once released a song titled "I Think I Can Beat Mike Tyson." Now another veteran rapper really has. Snoop Dogg outboxed the former heavyweight champion on Monday (22JUN09) night -- on a video game console. Tyson is featured on the cover of Electronic Arts' new "Fight Night Round 4" for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, and Snoop Dogg has an unlockable character in the game named Malice. Tyson said outside the event he was glad to make the cover, with another former champ, Muhammad Ali. "Egotistically speaking, I thought I should've been on the one previous to me. I was jealous and a little upset," Tyson said. "I'm just totally fulfilled to be on the cover now." Inside the House of Blues on Sunset Strip, Tyson faced off against Snoop in a four-round match of "Fight Night" on a big screen. The two have been friends since meeting in 1993, according to Snoop. Snoop said he was a 10-1 underdog but used his jab to knock out Tyson's character: "Fundamentals. Got him in the body. Knocked him out in the fourth round." Tyson has been resurgent in pop culture in recent months, with the release of a documentary about his life, his appearance in the nation's top movie for two straight weeks, "The Hangover," and Jamie Foxx talking about starring in a biopic about him. "I mean, it's great to see his evolution come back around and for him to get what's deserved as far as his notoriety, his respect, his love and you know credibility for who he is and what he's done for the sport of boxing, for humanity, just for people in general," Snoop said of Tyson. "His struggle is our struggle. I'm a fan of his, a friend of his. I'm just happy to see him still relevant after so many years." Tyson has faced highs and lows even in the past several weeks. He married for the third time this month, just ten days after his 4-year-old daughter died in a tragic treadmill accident. He appeared at the "Fight Night" event with his new wife, whose maiden name was Lakiha Spicer. "You know, the growth and development that he's went through," Snoop Dogg said. "Ups and downs. It's part of life. You know, a career where he's had highs and lows, a life with highs and lows. And now he's back on top again, you know. That's where he's meant to be." "Fight Night Round 4" is out this week for Xbox 360 and PS3.

We saw there in the banana plantations, a lot of people we talked to them and then we just mixed many things. I mean, the accent was completely invented. That was really fun to do.

Clip Trailer ' Rudo and Cursi ' SIBLING RIVALRY AND BROTHERLY LOVE ON 'RUDO AND CURSI' Diego Luna and Gael Garcia Bernal play half brothers who love football and have a problem with each other, in 'Rudo and Cursi'. Noticed by a talent scout, they are both picked to turn professional - but are soon distracted by other temptations. The film follows their move from working on a banana plantation to playing for teams in Mexico City and sees how the characters are seduced by record deals, women, gambling and drugs. The tale is written and directed by Carlos Cuaron, who co-wrote the first film his stars made together, 2001's acclaimed 'Y Tu Mama Tambien'. That film's director - Cuaron's brother Alfronso - is one of 'Rudo and Cursi's producers. The shared history between the filmmakers and their stars helped to make shooting the new movie a positive experience. "It made it easier, at least for me, you know, the fact that we are all close friends, that we know each other so well, that we are like this family of friends," said Carlos. "It saves you a lot of time, but also its just the trust, you know, and the camaraderie that happens and the whole atmosphere during the shooting was amazing." "And everybody there for the same reason and you know, with the same goals, it was very easy," adds Alfonso. "At the end, everybody was there because they really wanted to be there." 'Rudo and Cursi' is the first release from the production Cha Cha Cha company formed by some of the best known directors in Mexican cinema - Alfonso Cuaron, Guillermo del Toro ('Pan's Labyrinth') and Alejandro Gonzalex Inarritu ('Babel'), who are all producers on the film.

SOUNDBITE: (Japanese) Professor Atsuo Takanishi, of the Faculty of Science and Engineering, Waseda University: "For a robot to be useful in human life, the robot needs to communicate with humans to do what humans command it to do. To achieve natural communication between humans and robots, expressing feeling is an important factor." 11. Wide of Takanishi and robot ROBOT GETS EMOTIONAL A walking humanoid robot that is able to use its whole face and body to express emotion was unveiled on Tuesday (23JUN09) in Japan. The robot was created by scientists at Tokyo's Waseda University and is thought to be the first of its kind according to its makers. It is able to express a range of different emotions, including happiness, fear, surprise, sadness, anger and disgust, by opening and closing its eyes, moving its lips and eyebrows, and using its arms and legs. The robot is installed with 48 "actuators" which allow its face and body to move in a variety of ways. It shows happiness by opening its eyes and mouth wide and raising its arms, and sorrow by drooping its head and covering its eyes. The robot's hands are covered with a soft material which is supposed to replicate the feeling of a human hand. Professor Atsuo Takanishi and his team at Waseda University's Faculty of Science and Engineering, spent the last two and a half years creating the robot, which they called "KOBIAN". Takanishi believes KOBIAN is the first robot able to express emotion with its entire body. He said the ability to express feeling was an "important factor" in achieving "natural communication" between robots and humans. The professor hopes robots such as KOBIAN could be used in the future to help elderly people with housework and in nursing homes. But he said the robot was still at the prototype stage and was not yet able to interact with humans emotionally apart from through its set of pre-programmed responses. Takanishi said it could be several decades before robots such as KOBIAN can be used to help people in their homes. Waseda University set up the Humanoid Robotics Institute in April 2000 to carry out research on creating new relationships between humans and machines. According to its website, the institute hopes to create a robot which will eventually experience the same patterns of thought and behaviour as a human being. Territory.

Boy throwing bucket of water at police officer riding on passing vehicle WET WEDNESDAY Residents of San Juan, a suburb of Manila, celebrated the feast day of the town's patron saint on Wednesday (24JUN09) by dousing each other with water. The festivities commemorate the feast of Saint John the Baptist, after whom the town was named. The revellers soaked residents and passers-by with water to depict the baptism, a Christian sacrament, which Saint John performed on Jesus Christ. This year there were fewer passers-by to be drenched as classes in the primary and secondary schools were suspended due to a coming storm. However, this did not dampen the celebrations as the residents continued splashing each other with water, an act they believe brings good fortune.

Clip Oxfam Blue Climate Campaign STARS PAINT THEMSELVES BLUE FOR CLIMATE CHANGE CAMPAIGN Jarvis Cocker, Little Boots and Fatboy Slim are among the stars who have painted themselves blue for an Oxfam campaign ahead of this weekend's Glastonbury festival in the UK. The portraits shot exclusively by photographer Rankin, kick off Oxfam's climate change campaign across the festival season. Also featured in the campaign are The Editors' Tom Smith, The View, Luke Pritchard from The Kooks, VV Brown and Get Cape. Wear Cape. Fly. Oxfam is asking thousands of festival-goers across the summer to paint themselves blue as part of a massive visual statement to the UK government to take action on climate change before it's too late. A video of the celebrity photo shoot will debut on the big screens at Glastonbury's Pyramid Stage during the festival this weekend, showing how Rankin captured Oxfam's most ambitious celebrity photo campaign since the famous Make Trade Fair 'dumping' pictures in 2005. The blue faces campaign marks Oxfam's sixteenth year at Glastonbury. Since 1993 Oxfam has signed up the support of 400,000 people for their campaigns at Glastonbury, raised ?2.7 million through volunteers' stewarding and ?522,000 through Oxfam stalls on-site. The blue faces petition will be presented to the UK government ahead of December's critical climate change summit in Copenhagen, with Oxfam calling for a global deal that keeps carbon emissions at a safe level, and offers fair support to the millions of people in developing countries already suffering the effects of climate change. Glastonbury festival in Somerset runs from 25-28 June.

Maya will stay with her eight-year-old mother Ronja for at least the first year of her life. Tapirs are an endangered animal and while they often look rather like pigs with trunks they are actually related to horses and rhinoceroses.

Close Ed McMahon star on Hollywood Walk of Fame 'TONIGHT' SIDEKICK ED MCMAHON DIES AT 86 Ed McMahon, the loyal "Tonight" show sidekick who bolstered boss Johnny Carson with guffaws and a resounding "H-e-e-e-e-e-ere's Johnny!" for 30 years, died early Tuesday (23JUN09). He was 86. McMahon died shortly after midnight at Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center surrounded by his wife, Pam, and other family members, said his publicist, Howard Bragman. McMahon broke his neck in a fall in March 2007, and battled a series of financial problems as his injuries prevented him from working. On Hollywood Boulevard in Hollywood on Tuesday, workers placed flowers and a wreath bearing McMahon's name on top of his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Cameramen and reporters gathered as onlookers -- tourists and locals -- remembered McMahon. "He was a great sidekick to Johnny Carson. 'Star Search' -- a lot of stars became famous because of him," tourist Kim Ward said. "Publishers Clearing House -- he could've came to my house and said 'Hey, you're a winner! Ten million dollars!' He was just a great guy." Tom Schriber, another tourist, said: "I mean he was almost as important I think as Johnny himself in those shows. You know, the shows always began with Ed saying at some point along the line 'Here's Johnny!' A very important contribution, I think. Sorry to see him go. I understand in recent years he had fallen on hard times." McMahon and Carson had worked together for nearly five years on the game show "Who Do You Trust?" when Carson took over NBC's late-night show from Jack Paar in October 1962. McMahon played second banana on "Tonight" until Carson retired in 1992. McMahon's medical and financial problems kept him in the headlines in his last years. It was reported in June 2008 that he was facing possible foreclosure on his Beverly Hills home. By year's end, a deal was worked out allowing him to stay in his home, but legal action involving other alleged debts continued. Born Edward Leo Peter McMahon Jr. on March 6, 1923, in Detroit, McMahon grew up in Lowell, Mass. He got his start on television playing a circus clown on the 1950-51 variety series "Big Top." But the World War II Marine veteran interrupted his career to serve as a fighter pilot in Korea. McMahon and Clark also teamed up as pitchmen for American Family Publishers' sweepstakes, with their faces a familiar sight on contest entry forms and in TV commercials. McMahon was known for his ongoing commercials for Budweiser as well. Besides his wife, Pam, McMahon is survived by children Claudia, Katherine, Linda, Jeffrey and Lex. Bragman said no funeral arrangements have been made.

Trailer, 'Fight Night Round 4' SNOOP OUTBOXES MIKE TYSON -- ON AN XBOX 360 Will Smith once released a song titled "I Think I Can Beat Mike Tyson." Now another veteran rapper really has. Snoop Dogg outboxed the former heavyweight champion on Monday (22JUN09) night -- on a video game console. Tyson is featured on the cover of Electronic Arts' new "Fight Night Round 4" for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, and Snoop Dogg has an unlockable character in the game named Malice. Tyson said outside the event he was glad to make the cover, with another former champ, Muhammad Ali. "Egotistically speaking, I thought I should've been on the one previous to me. I was jealous and a little upset," Tyson said. "I'm just totally fulfilled to be on the cover now." Inside the House of Blues on Sunset Strip, Tyson faced off against Snoop in a four-round match of "Fight Night" on a big screen. The two have been friends since meeting in 1993, according to Snoop. Snoop said he was a 10-1 underdog but used his jab to knock out Tyson's character: "Fundamentals. Got him in the body. Knocked him out in the fourth round." Tyson has been resurgent in pop culture in recent months, with the release of a documentary about his life, his appearance in the nation's top movie for two straight weeks, "The Hangover," and Jamie Foxx talking about starring in a biopic about him. "I mean, it's great to see his evolution come back around and for him to get what's deserved as far as his notoriety, his respect, his love and you know credibility for who he is and what he's done for the sport of boxing, for humanity, just for people in general," Snoop said of Tyson. "His struggle is our struggle. I'm a fan of his, a friend of his. I'm just happy to see him still relevant after so many years." Tyson has faced highs and lows even in the past several weeks. He married for the third time this month, just ten days after his 4-year-old daughter died in a tragic treadmill accident. He appeared at the "Fight Night" event with his new wife, whose maiden name was Lakiha Spicer. "You know, the growth and development that he's went through," Snoop Dogg said. "Ups and downs. It's part of life. You know, a career where he's had highs and lows, a life with highs and lows. And now he's back on top again, you know. That's where he's meant to be." "Fight Night Round 4" is out this week for Xbox 360 and PS3.

We saw there in the banana plantations, a lot of people we talked to them and then we just mixed many things. I mean, the accent was completely invented. That was really fun to do.

Clip Trailer ' Rudo and Cursi ' SIBLING RIVALRY AND BROTHERLY LOVE ON 'RUDO AND CURSI' Diego Luna and Gael Garcia Bernal play half brothers who love football and have a problem with each other, in 'Rudo and Cursi'. Noticed by a talent scout, they are both picked to turn professional - but are soon distracted by other temptations. The film follows their move from working on a banana plantation to playing for teams in Mexico City and sees how the characters are seduced by record deals, women, gambling and drugs. The tale is written and directed by Carlos Cuaron, who co-wrote the first film his stars made together, 2001's acclaimed 'Y Tu Mama Tambien'. That film's director - Cuaron's brother Alfronso - is one of 'Rudo and Cursi's producers. The shared history between the filmmakers and their stars helped to make shooting the new movie a positive experience. "It made it easier, at least for me, you know, the fact that we are all close friends, that we know each other so well, that we are like this family of friends," said Carlos. "It saves you a lot of time, but also its just the trust, you know, and the camaraderie that happens and the whole atmosphere during the shooting was amazing." "And everybody there for the same reason and you know, with the same goals, it was very easy," adds Alfonso. "At the end, everybody was there because they really wanted to be there." 'Rudo and Cursi' is the first release from the production Cha Cha Cha company formed by some of the best known directors in Mexican cinema - Alfonso Cuaron, Guillermo del Toro ('Pan's Labyrinth') and Alejandro Gonzalex Inarritu ('Babel'), who are all producers on the film.
