year after being promised information about hillary clinton. the british government is to review laws on buying and carrying acid, following a spate of attacks in london. two boys aged 15 and 16 have been arrested in connection with assaults on five people on thursday night in which acid was sprayed on theirfaces in order to steal their motorbikes. the boss of a yachting company has been found guilty of failing to ensure the safety of one of its vessels, the cheeki rafiki, after four crew members were lost at sea. the yacht capsized in the mid—atlantic in may 2014. douglas innes was convicted at winchester crown court. in around ten minutes you can see newswatch — but first here's click. this is adam jensen,

star of the video game deus ex: human revolution. set in 2027, the poor chap has to undergo extensive cybernetic modifications after being severely injured. well, just ten years before those events might occur, that plot line doesn't seem that far off. for years now people have been body hacking, giving themselves extra abilities and, as our understanding of robotics has advanced, so has our creativity. meet rob spence.

like the cyborg in the video game, he too has a bionic eye. it doesn't have terminator vision like this, yet, but it does record video. inside a prosthetic eye, which is an odd shape, they're not a sphere, a prosthetic eye, they're actually like a very thick contact lens. inside that is a battery, a video camera and a video transmitter all attached to a circuit board so they can talk to one another. the camera is turned on and off with a magnet. it doesn't look at all comfortable, is it in anyway comfortable? yeah, it's fine. i know it looks uncomfortable. the first configuration that looks the most uncomfortable, it looks like a ‘90s imac, you can see all the goods inside. like the battery and the wires, but that's covered by smooth plastic that, you know. so it's not like that. i don't have open wires and batteries, you know.

0h! that kind of made my stomach drop a little bit when i saw that. rob damaged his eye when he was nine and in 2009 began exploring the idea of a bionic eye. as a film—maker himself, he was fascinated with the idea that his eye could become a camera. it's like an absurd toy for a one—eyed film—maker. i used to watch the bionic man when i was a kid, the $6 million man. i had the action figure, you looked through the back of his head, through his bionic eye. i was looking at my nokia flip phone at the time i was like — this is pretty small. that's in fact who i called, i called nokia. they said — well, we'll call the camera module people in china. this is how you begin these things. it's very small, it's very challenging. we in fact used analogue technology. it does visual dropouts, which is the visual language of all video from the future, including princess leia asking for 0bi—wan‘s help.

exactly — the future is analogue! yeah! since the initial prototype, rob and his engineers have gone through several upgrades. he now has one eye that glows red when it films and another camera eye that looks a bit more normal. i get calls from and emails from moms whose kid hasjust lost an eye, because it's some sort of fun thing to show a kid this maniac running around on videos and glowing red eye cameras and stuff. it's fun for them to look at that. they're now looking working on ways to transfer the technology to other people's prosthetic eyes. we're doing 3d scans of those now and then that creates a space that you can take into software to map on the technology that we're increasingly able to reproduce. some people golf, i like to make fake eye cameras and, you know, film things with it. activate eyeborg — now!

0h! uae, that will go down well with users. step aside, here is with khalifa, taking the coveted crown of most watched youtube clip it has been viewed a staggering... 2.9 billion times. elon musk launched the new all electric tesla model three. a pricetag of $35,000 it is supposed to be more affordable than

their previous effort which cost 200 grand. rival automobile company has scrapped its plans to build a billion—dollarfactory scrapped its plans to build a billion—dollar factory in the us state of nevada. this leaves a big question mark over than launch next year of the new model. no, this is not a digital version of the ministry of silly walks but this is google ‘s deep mined attempting to learn how to walk. the research has been conducted in virtual environments that one day it should help robots learn how to navigate complex spaces. and, finally, a former nasa scientist to build a super soaker, giant sized. former nasa scientist to build a supersoaker, giant sized. it former nasa scientist to build a super soaker, giant sized. it is so big you will at least see him coming. almost everyone in the world who works pays tax on the money

they earn, but at this restaurant in san francisco there are no waiting staff and robots plate the food. that work is currently not taxable and politicianjane kim is now looking into how this is changing the city's economy. so what we're seeing is after automation that you can hire less people in order to deliver products maybe quicker and more affordably. but it's one of the questions that we have, it's true this is really convenient, but at what cost? it's notjust restaurants, this picture is now seen across the city, from hotels and hospitals to the latest addition to the autonomous family, self—driving cars. policy makers have noticed, every time a robot takes human job, potential tax revenue is being lost. the research is showing us thatjobs are going to get lost over the next ten years and if before the great depression we could have predicted what would come afterwards, if government could have prepared for the job loss that occurred, wouldn't we do that? that is the level at which we are looking at potentially over the next ten years, in terms ofjob loss for this country.

estimations of how manyjobs will be wiped out vary widely from study to study, but a recent report especially has stuck in jane's mind. it's estimated that robots will replace 37% ofjobs in the united states by the early 2030s. so the biggest concern is mass job displacement, lack of true, meaningful, high wage work. we are already seeing a decrease of that in san francisco where we have the fastest growing income gap in the country and a wealth gap that is akin to the country of rwanda, accord to our own human services agency data and so we have a shrinking middle—class and we have this growing imminent threat that many of our meaningful, working—class and even middle—class jobs may go away to robots and automation. at cafe x, again a human worker has been replaced by a robot. an americano with milk, served by a robot. now, the human has a different role, advising on coffee beans and showing customers how to use the tablet

to operate the robot. the owner is not sure about the idea of a tax on the replacement. i guess i find it a little odd because what robots are supposed to do is to increase productivity. that means it allows a shift in labourfrom doing highly repetitive, low productivity tasks to more useful things. it's not about eliminating people. actually, we have quite a big team. so in order to have this machine operate, there has to be a lot of engineers on software, hardware and manufacturing to build something like this. jobs like this require training and that's what supervisor kim wants in these povertyjobs and make them truly living wage

careers for people. this would mean a robot tax potentially subsidising low paying, but essential jobs, so that the human employees would earn a living wage. currently, many people are working but not earning enough to live, leading several politicians around the world to float the idea of a universal basic income. this would be expensive for governments and supervisor kim is suggesting an automation tax could be a solution. if there's one thing that san francisco is known for, it's leading the conversation on technology and innovation, but as harder and harder questions are asked about automation and what this really means for people's jobs it seems appropriate that this city, which has added so much to the problem, is also grappling with what could be the solution. but the rise of robotic workers is playing out on a global scale and san francisco is not the only place trying to lead the conversation. in the eu, a proposal to tax robots

was voted down earlier in the year and one of the commissioners who did so says robots will create more jobs, not reduce them. they are worried because they say robots they will take theirjobs, but i believe in progress. progress always created more jobs than progress used to destroy. the train is moving and speed is high and now it's up to us to be on that train or to stay and to wave to the leaving train. concerns about automation replacing human jobs has been felt sense the industrial revolution and more recently workers in the manufacturing industry have seen jobs disappear as automation takes hold. as the issue of a robot tax begins to spread further, a fundamental question still needs to be answered — what even is automation? in the context of robots of course automation is much broader and we have to find this definition.

they gave this definition more than 100 years ago. politicians can no longer ignore the robots creeping into the workplace and while many of the big questions are still being thrashed out, it's clear that the issue of robot workers is becoming more and more of a political one. and this's it for this week. you can follow us on twitter @bbc click throughout the week and like us on facebook, too. thanks for watching and we will see you soon. welcome to newswatch. wimbledon fans have been glued to television screens this past fortnight, but should tennis take priority over the news? and would a male politician have been asked if he had shed a tear on election night? we are coming to the end of the wimbledon fortnight, an annual treat for tennis fans but the source

of frustration for others. never mind the many hours of live action on bbc one and bbc two, the tournament has featured strongly over the past two weeks on breakfast, the news channel and news bulletins. there have been features on the famously long queue for spectators to get into wimbledon, the condition of andy murray's dodgy hip and discussion of the baby his wife has on the way. a number of injuries sustained by other players in matches, the state of the grass on court and of course the progress of our great british singles hopes, all lapped up by the aficionados. but not by sceptics likejosh. he wrote: on tuesday night, it wasn't a question of tennis featuring in the news as, instead of the news,

specifically some local news bulletins, as it came up to six o'clock, the british number one woman johanna konta was battling it out on centre court in her quarterfinal. and it was decided to keep showing that match on bbc one instead of the scheduled news at six. and on bbc two they had abandoned their planned wimbledon coverage for unscheduled repeats, as rain meant no other matches were being played. confused? john wilson did not understand the logic. another viewer pat brown was also annoyed by this and recorded this
