the headlines on bbc news: a gunman has killed five people and injured eight others in a shooting at fort lauderdale international airport, in florida. the alleged gunman, named as 26—year—old esteban santiago and believed to be an iraq war veteran, is now in police custody. us intelligence officials have released a report saying russian president vladimir putin ordered a comprehensive cyber campaign to help donald trump win the presidential election. the president—elect insists hacking had absolutely no effect on the poll. michelle obama has delivered her final speech as first lady of the united states, with an impassioned call on young people to have hope and fight for their rights. in a tearful speech at the white house, she said the role of first lady had been the greatest honour of her life. in a few minutes, samira ahmed is here with newswatch. before that, it's click.

right, let's get 2017 started in style, shall we? flashing lights. check. modest, understated hotels. check. lots of people queuing for photos of a sign. check. a motorcycle vest with built—in airbag? 0h! check. every january, las vegas hosts the massive consumer electronics show, and if you have a product to launch, you want to launch it here.

and that's why i am being followed by a drone, specifically, the hover camera passport drone. first one i have seen which follows you not by tracking a signal from your mobile phone, but instead by locking on to a face in its camera view. come with me. you can tell it which face to follow by tapping on it in the accompanying app on your phone. and the latest version will let you scan and upload your face to the drone so it can find and recognise you automatically. the theory is that you then don't need the phone at all. the drone knows and loves your face, just like a loyal puppy. and, with guarded blades and sensors underneath to help it steer clear of obstacles, it certainly seems safe and light enough to fly in amongst other people, or indeed to grab it out of the air

and fold it up. hence the name — passport, you see. unbelievably, ces is now in its 50th year, and in that time it's got big, very big. the show has spread beyond the walls of the las vegas convention centre to the surrounding hotels, and we have seen all sorts of ideas come and go in those five decades. the event might have grown, but the technology, of course, has shrunk. the tv screens have got so thin that they blend into the walls, so thin you can peel them on and off. and in amongst the major companies

area number of and in amongst the major companies are a number of tiny companies. marc has been checking some of them out. most people understand that if i do this with my fingers it means give me a call on the telephone. however, if i am wearing this strap when i make that gesture my hand becomes part of the telephone itself and can send and receive calls. the strap has a little body conducting unit in here which sends vibrations down my hand and when i stick my finger in my ear, they become amplified sound. there is a microphone just in the strap there, so i can talk into it. let's just see if that works. and it does. so this is the prototype. the finished thing looks like a normal watch strap and can be fitted to any old watch. now, when you want to hang up, that's simplicity itself. all you've got to do is take your hand away from your ear. health is once again a big theme here at ces. and, whilst more people than ever are following gluten—free, dairy—free or other sorts of specialist diets, they don't necessarily need to be unless they've had a proper medical diagnosis.

and that's something that this device aims to overcome by helping people create the perfect diet for their own personal digestive system. air connects via bluetooth, and its mission is to miniaturise a breath test that gastroenterologists have been using since the ‘90s. it analyses reaction to various forms of carbohydrate, such as lactose or fructose. this is based on the idea that, if you consume a food that you can't break down, then it will ferment in the gut, and from that point chemicals will disperse into the bloodstream. that blood will be making its way into the lungs, and then when you breathe out you'll be able to analyse how well that food has been digested. so, once it learns what works for you, it should be able to help you customise your diet as the finished app's food database indicates how likely you are to react to any given food. so, if you find the answer, all that's left to do is actually

stick to the lifestyle and diet you need to. now then, i'm officially calling it. this year's big theme at ces was cars. and, as always, it's often the most outrageous concepts that grab all the headlines. rinspeed has previously proposed a car with its own deployable drone. well, now it's got one that has a space—age cockpit, with more glass than a greenhouse, which is quite fortunate because it has a garden in the dashboard. yes, that's a garden in the dashboard. why? well, so you get a nice smell when you're driving, of course, and you can even take part of it with you when you go shopping. don't forget to switch the fan on, so you get that lovely whiff. actually, a lot of the more serious car stuff is happening in small steps, incrementally, so it's harder to grab the headlines. that said, marc cieslak has just been for a couple of extraordinary drives. there's a certain german car—maker

that boasts of building the ultimate driving machine. but here at ces 2017, most of the motor manufacturers seem intent on building the ultimate self—driving machine. it isn'tjust motor manufacturers that are showing off self—driving vehicles here. they're doing it with the help of tech companies, as well. this vehicle is fitted with a system called bb8, which has been created by nvidia, a company most famous for manufacturing high—end graphics chips. artificial intelligence software which learns helped by sensors have trained bb8 to be able to make driving decisions. here, an obstacle hasjust appeared in the route that we were going to take to get to the other end of this track. the car has decided that they'd

better not drive into that obstacle, so it's driven around it. driving around a car park is one thing but how do these autonomous vehicles perform out on real roads? electronic supplier delphi has partnered with driver assistance and sensor outfit mobileye and created a mini fleet of autonomous audi suvs which are driving around vegas during ces. there are 2a different sensors spread out across the body of this car which allow it to drive autonomously and what i am struck by is that you don't notice any of them. you can't really see any of those sensory devices. they're hidden. this car is an indicator, if you like, of how autonomous vehicles will look in the future, which is pretty much like any car does in showrooms today. those sensors include lidar, radar, and cameras all around the vehicle. here, we can see what the car sees through them. identifying other vehicles as well as pedestrians, and behaving accordingly,

as it weaves its way through traffic. so, i'm a rear passenger in the back of this self—driving car. and so far zero dramas, apart from looking forward and noticing that the driver doesn't have his hands on the steering wheel. i could be forgiven for thinking that i am actually being driven around bya human being. the thing is, we've been driving around in prototype self—driving cars for a couple of years now. how long is it going to be before cars like this are available to buy in showrooms? there is quite a wide consensus among the industry that 2021 is the time where the technology will be ready, and after a number of years where society will start gaining confidence in this kind of technology, then society would be at the point where the driver can be completely out of the loop. with that 2021 goal in mind, mobileye announced that, in partnership with bmw and intel, it will be testing a0 autonomous vehicles on real american

and european roads in the second half of this year. so, the countdown has begun. autonomous automobiles are most definitely on their way. now, if you are someone who prefers the wind to be rushing through your hair, ces also offers plenty for riders as well as drivers. this is surely the most fun you can have on a beach with your clothes on. the super 73 is an electric bike that can hold enough charge to travel for more than 25 miles. its top speed is 27mph, which on newport beach is certainly enough to get the wind in your hair. you have the thumb here. don't press on itjust yet and you have the two brakes right here. two brakes right here... so are you ready to go? you go first and i will follow you. follow me. go.

0h! ha—ha! the bike was funded via kickstarter, where it raised almost $500,000, and now each bike is being carefully crafted here in orange county california. we have every machine needed to create an entire bike. there's some days where we have got, you know, 30, a0 bikes being welded in a single day. that's to ensure that everything is done properly, safely, and will hold up for a lifetime. the batteries in these things are getting more affordable, they‘ re getting lighter, so it means at ces this year we're seeing a host of interesting ways to help us get around. chinese company leeco unveiled these bikes. they're powered by normal pedals, but they have the android mobile operating system built in so you can track your progress. and then there is things like the movpack. this is a regular backpack, that with one movement you can turn it into an electric skateboard, that's actually easier to ride than a regular skateboard. but it's perhaps more futuristic ideas like this one from honda that really get the imagination going.

this concept car is more about having something that you don't necessarily own, but you kind ofjust call it up whenever you need a vehicle to pop to the shops or do some of those small errands. it will drive itself to you, pick you up, and when you are done with it you canjust let it go itself. and we will have to stop consumer electronics show coverage right there because this is the shortcut of click. we are back in vegas next week. in the meantime you can follow us on week. in the meantime you can follow us on twitter. thank you very much for watching and we will see you $0011. it, hello and welcome to the first newswatch of 2017 with me, it, atch of 2017 with me, samira ahmed, where we'll be rounding up some of the comments you've made about bbc news since we went off air before christmas. coming up: jill saward died this week, but should the bbc news website have described her in its headline as a campaigner

rather than as a victim? and the year of celebrity deaths ended with several more, including that of george michael. did the bbc lose perspective over the extent of its coverage? first, the new year has brought no respite from the terrorist attacks that have become a regular feature of news broadcasts. on sunday came the latest atrocity, targeting those enjoying a night out at the reina nightclub in istanbul. news reader: less than two hours into the new year, a gunman opened fire outside, bullets ricocheting as he shot a policeman and a civilian. another camera showed people cowering as the attacker struck, before he stormed the club. inside, his killing spree continued, turks and foreigners murdered, others jumping into the freezing bosphorus to escape. 39 people have died in the attack and the coverage of it raised

questions we have heard before from newswatch viewers over similar incidents. william boyes had this to say... now, how much tv news coverage did you want
