6:06 am
going to be right up there with the chancellor really reaching out to the younger generation who absolutely feel that they don't have the same opportunity to get onto the housing ladder as their parents did. today in the sunday times, hammond said he is staging an intervention on housing where there is planning permission but no building is going on. he has got a really strong message for constructing firms saying if you are hoarding land, if you are speculating, places that have planning permission, you need to get on and build on it. away from housing, as you say, yes, a package of measures for artificial intelligence and driverless cars. something other countries in the world a re really something other countries in the world are really forging ahead on. he will introduce new regulation that will allow developers to start testing these driverless vehicles sank what was once an inventor‘s drink will now become a reality but
6:07 am
make no mistake, this will be a difficult budget and he can't afford any controversial measures because of course the government only has a very fragile hold on power without slim majority. mr, thank you very much. —— emma. after 3a years at the helm, the sinn fein leader, gerry adams, says he plans to step down. during this time, he persuaded the ira to call a ceasefire and pursued a political settlement in the form of the good friday agreement. his decision to resign brings to an end the longest party leadership in britain or ireland. we have never been stronger. this is oui’ we have never been stronger. this is ourtime we have never been stronger. this is our time will stop leadership means knowing when it's time for change. that time is now. i will not be standing in the next election. investigators are continuing to probe the causes of a mid—air collision between a helicopter and a plane after the bodies of the four men who died were recovered. police and air accident experts remain at the scene of the wreckage in woodland near buckinghamshire,

6:10 am

6:11 am
let's take a look at the weather forecast. it looks like a cold start down a large part of the country this morning. i would have put some numbers on this to give you a sense of how chile to start is. a different story out of the south—west. it is as warm as 10— out of the south—west. it is as warm as10— 11— out of the south—west. it is as warm as 10- 11- 12 out of the south—west. it is as warm as 10— 11— 12 in some parts because you never lost the cloud overnight. 0ther spots certainly did and that is leading to that breitbart frosty start to the new day on sunday. there still is some speck of rings of showers across the far north—east of showers across the far north—east of scotla nd of showers across the far north—east of scotland but wind nowhere near as strong here on land at least as it has been for the past few days. still fairly blowing across the north sea. here we are, mid afternoon, quite a bit of clout
6:12 am
coming back into the western side andi coming back into the western side and i suspect that by this stage, the sunshine will be really rather hazy across central and eastern parts and there is no escaping the fa ct parts and there is no escaping the fact that across northern ireland, the western parts of scotland, they may be enough clout to that be the odd piece of rain. despite the sunshine, i should odd piece of rain. despite the sunshine, ishould point odd piece of rain. despite the sunshine, i should point out, odd piece of rain. despite the sunshine, ishould point out, in odd piece of rain. despite the sunshine, i should point out, in the east, as was the case yesterday, live, six common set of degrees will be the best. ——7. we will push the rain into the cold air and initially we could see snow down to 200 metres as more mild air comes in from the atlantic, we will lift the snow level of onto the highest roots so it stays pretty cold across the north. it comes the flood of mild air across the south and as many of you start the new day on monday rate, yes, pretty wet, gas, but it will be very mild as we get through the door. bits and pieces left behind. i'm afraid it's one of those. the plus is, scotland, you
6:13 am
never really get into the mild air. it's not close enough. i'm afraid it is go to the one of those days for a good part of scotland, really rather grey. as the country the week, more mild airfrom the grey. as the country the week, more mild air from the atlantic but a price to say. no more the bright, frosty sparkling start to the day, it is pretty wet and windy fare and i could break it to you gently but i'm not going to, that's going to be the way that a good many of us are a good part of the week. volunteers restoring the last paddle steamer to be built in britain are appealing for help to track down artefacts and equipment which disappeared from the ship. the maid of the loch was left derelict on the banks of loch lomond after it was mothballed 35 years ago. now, a group of enthusiasts are hoping to see her set sail again. 0ur scotland correspondent, lorna gordon, has been aboard to take a look.
6:14 am
in the grey drizzle of an autumnal day, the last paddle steamer to be built in britain. she's not sailed for more than 35 years, moored up and, for part of that time, left to rot — until steam—ship enthusiasts saved her from rot — until steam—ship enthusiasts saved herfrom sinking. rot — until steam—ship enthusiasts saved her from sinking. it's a thing of beauty, but it needs a bit of work. absolutely, it sure does. it needs a lot of work, and a lot of money spent on it. the obvious things are that the paintwork and all that kind of thing... things are that the paintwork and all that kind of thing. .. bit of rotten wood there? rotten wood. all of that will be replaced or renewed. the paddle boxes will be bright and sparkling again. in her 30 years of service, royalty and heads of state we re service, royalty and heads of state were amongst the millions of passengers who graced her decks. 0n a saturday night, there'd be entertainment. and on a summer's day, it would be full of families who'd come from glasgow to see loch lomond. in its heyday, the maid of
6:15 am
the loch would have been packed with passengers enjoying a day out on the water. many of those who are helping to restore it have fond memories of this ship, and want a new generation to enjoy it too. was it exciting, as a boy? 0h, to enjoy it too. was it exciting, as a boy? oh, yes, fantastic. never seen anything like it in my life. there's a wonderful feeling about watching the power — i mean, this is power. this is raw power. all these pistons — the two pistons going backwards and forwards, turning the shafts, making the paddles go through their cycle, making her go through their cycle, making her go through their cycle, making her go through the water... it's just — i mean, "magic"‘s the only word there is to it. hard work by volunteers has erased some of the damage caused by the years of neglect. but with anything of value stolen, any metals that could be melted down sold as scrap, they now need help in tracking down any artefacts that still exist, like this recently returned ship's wheel. the ship was
6:16 am
stripped bare before we took it on. but over the years, we've had one or two things back. the most important one is the ship's bell. you want to hear it? yeah, go on, then... you need to give me a hand...! if i lift it, you can give it a ding... bell dings there's lots of other ones that people have taken off. no recriminations, we just need to know that, if they're safe, would people please give them back? securing the heritage of this historic ship, and moving one step closer to seeing the maid of moving one step closer to seeing the maid of the loch raising steam and sailing once again. that'll be a landmark moment, when she gets a full head of steam once again. time now for the film review. mark kermode joins jane hill for a look at the latest cinema releases. it is good to see you.
6:17 am
mark joins markjoins us. what have you been watching? we have film stars don't die in liverpool. an awards—level performance by annette bening. justice league — batman and wonder woman are back. and mudbound — a drama set in 19405 mississippi. it is an interesting week. i'm dying to know what you think of ourfirst film. set in the ‘705. yes. based on the memoir by peter turner. bening is superb as gloria grahame. jamie bell's character, a twentysomething actor becomes infatuated in the late ‘705. he discovers they are sharing digs in this house and he is bewitched by her presence, as we all are. here's a clip.
6:18 am
hey. you're the next—door guy, right? which makes you the girl next door. have you seen the movie saturday night fever? yeah, actually, three times. so, you like disco dancing? oh, god. i like drunk dancing. so, if i make you a drink, do you want to be my partner for my dance class? if you fetch me a drink, i will clean your bathroom. i already love it. you can see there is real chemistry between them. the film divides its time between the story of the rise and fall
6:19 am
of their relationship. and a few years later on, when she falls ill and calls on him to bring him back to liverpool, when she falls ill and calls on him to bring her back to liverpool, she feels she can get better in liverpool, it was directed with warmth and passion. paul mcguigan made a film called gangster number one at the turn of the century which was exciting. i love the slipping back and forth through time. the performances were wonderful. bening is transfixing. you believe in her as someone with a real film star past. the voice that she has adopted, the rest a touch of marilyn monroe. referred to as the other blonde. she was a movie star and had a movie star presence. what the film does is it makes them feel like they are genuinely in love with each other. despite a very big age gap. interestingly enough, what the film does is invert the usual age and
6:20 am
gender relationship. it does not make a big deal out of it. there is a time when she says i want to playjuliet and he says do you mean the maid? she says to you see me as an old woman? and the lovely thing is he doesn't and editors the film and neither do we. i feel like her performance is brilliant. and there is a joke about that. i feel like the performance is brilliant. it is 0scar time. a lot of it is to do with the attention to detail. it is really well done. if you have a period setting and people get things wrong, it takes you out. it is charming and sweet and i was moved by it. it is touching. a love story beautifully told. it reminded me of the film making of terence davies, and i don't say that lightly. i do not say that likely because i love him. yes. praise indeed. i think you will like it. it has everything. justice league. i live with someone
6:21 am
who wants to see this. it is big in our house. superman is dead and everyone is in mourning. batman needs a new team. they need to fight the villainous steppenwolf. aquaman, the flash, cyborg. this had a troubled history. personal tragedy meant the director had to step down and joss whedon stepped in. i think they did two months of free shoots. halfway through, the producers ecided they had to make it less dark and more funny because wonder woman was doing well and dark ones were not doing well. it is a total mess. this makes batman and robin look positively shakespearean. before the screening started, i read on the internet it was two hours and 15 minutes. someone said that is a mistake. it felt like four hours. it felt like a directors cut without beautiful scenery. it has too little characters and nothing for them to do. there is no reason to care about these indestructible people
6:22 am
who can do anything. it is a complete hodgepodge. they can fly or at least, as they said in toy story, the full with style. amazingly, for a film with so much stuff in it, it is stunningly dull. it is really, really turgid and boring. at no point does the film making lift itself. you want to be engaged and absorbed in the fantasy and i spent the whole time thinking "are we there?" it started and then it stopped and i left. you have to wait until the end credits. there was one character i was thrilled was not in the film and at the end they were. that is two hours of your life you will never get back. would you say the same for mudbound? i liked it. a very powerful drama set in 19405 mississippi. based on the novel by hillaryjordan. directed by hillaryjordan.
6:23 am
it follows two families whose lives and fortunes intertwine. one is jason mitchell. he goes off to fight in world war two. he returns to mississippi after the war to discover that nothing has changed. here is a clip. you used the back door. son, we don't want no trouble here. go on. you know what, you are right. when we were overseas, they did not make us use the back door. general patton put us on the frontline. yes, sir. do you know what we did? he kicked the hell out of hitler. you are all safe and sound because of that. what i like about this, you can tell from the scene, the tension in that scene is really, really well done. the film covers events and actions which are really horrible
6:24 am
and really tough. but it has a genuine poetry to it. we hear the voices of several different characters telling their story. the movie is keen to tell the story from different angles. beautifully shot by rachel morrison. she does a greatjob with the cinematography. you can feel the land and the environment and the mud of the title. the entire ensemble, not a foot is put wrong. the film manages to bring you into the world and intertwine personal and political stories about racial and economic tension, but always making it feel like it is a personal story. and it is very difficult to do that without... you know, without feeling like you are doing it. with this, you really are involved in the lives of the characters and you feel the personal and political completely intertwined. as i said, it has a poetry to it.
6:25 am
yeah, the people who say it is remarkable but actually too bleak, is that fair? i don't agree. there is genuine poetry. notjust in the lyricism of the visuals but in the way that the form is constructed. that the film is constructed. obviously i know a lot of people will sit with the netflix release. but i think you need to see it on the big screen if you can because it has real cinematic scope. and i don't think it is too bleak. it has heart and tenderness. it has a poetic quality which is key to the films. interesting. see it on the big screen. if you can. and next is florida project. you will love it. have you seen this yet? i have been away. i am a bit behind, it is fair to say. a great story about a family living on the poverty line in these motels beyond the walls of disneyland. it is like east of eden. it has naturalistic performances. the whole world is seen through the view of a six—year—old. the film manages to capture that child's prospective. yes, it is poverty in a themed hotel
6:26 am
which is now a motel for those on minimum wage. and yet, it is summer break. these children are running around and to them, it is like wonderland. the film mixes economics with a child's eyes. some people did not get it at all and i am surprised. i think it is one of the best films this year and many people feel the same way. yes. if people want to stay at home they can watch this. one of the big hits of the summer. the big sick. it is a really lovely film. it is stirring and written by kumail nanjiani. it is inspired by a real—life story of him being unable to commit to his girlfriend until a mystery illness landed her in a medically—induced coma. it doesn't sell my perfect subject matter is a comedy. it is really funny and deals
6:27 am
with subjects like commitment and racism and racial prejudice and arranged marriages. to do it all through these characters as well, who you get to like and love, i mean, it is genuinely laugh—out—loud funny. it is a movie where the comedy is born from the fact you recognise the characters and you are not living in a completely unbelievable environment. you believe in the situation they are in. i laughed all the way through but was also moved by the melancholic edge to it. it is all given another layer by the fact there is a certain amount of poetic licence to say it is based on a true story. he is telling his own story and doing it really well that is an interesting week. a really interesting week. and going now with your review ofjustice league. i have a domestic battle on my hands now withjustice league, though. see you next week. apart from that, a reminder that you will find more film reviews on the website.
6:28 am

of the good friday agreement. his decision to resign brings to an end the longest party leadership in britain or ireland. republicanism has never been stronger. this is our time. we will grow eve n stronger. this is our time. we will grow even stronger in the future, not leadership —— but leadership means knowing when it is time to change. that time is now. i will not be standing in the next election. the argentine navy says it has detected signals from a submarine which has been missing since wednesday with 44 crew on board. the sanjuan was on a routine mission off the southern tip of argentina when it lost contact with naval command on wednesday. the defence ministry is now working with a us company to trace the location of the seven failed satellite calls received on saturday.

6:32 am
will face colour. some big matches to come but this one looks like it is going to plan. england has dominated this match in melbourne. well england have dominated this match in melbourne and they did so from the off. jermaine mcgillvary has been their best performer in the tournament so far and he added another try there, before he and kallum watkins combined for another shortly after as well. england have scored four tries in total, alex walmsley and ben currie with the others. 20 points to six the score after an hour. and these are the live pictures of that match. you can follow the closing stages over on bbc two. we will keep you updated throughout the morning. in rugby union, england continued their dominance against australia under head coach eddie jones. they got their fifth straight win over the wallabies at twickenham scoring three tries in the final ten minutes of the game. danny care going over for the final score to seal a record win by 30 points to six.
6:33 am
england face samoa next weekend. well, you know, ithought well, you know, i thought early on that we were probably a little bit sloppy in our attacking situation. we hit some wrong options. defensively we were good most of the game and dropped off a bit at the end. having had so many players come in and out of the side, i was really pleased with the performance. the game of the day though was in scotland — they came within one converted try of a first ever win over new zealand, but they were beaten 22—17 in a thriller at murrayfield. fly—half beauden barret scored this breath—taking try for the all blacks to put them into what looked like a commanding lead, but scotland pushed the world champions all the way. in the final minute of the match stuart hogg thought he might‘ve broken through to win the game, but he was just forced out of play as the clocked hit full—time. we spoke in the week, you don't get
6:34 am
too many chances because of scheduling and injury and non— selection. this is one of the best teams in world sport, notjust by. teams in world sport, notjust rugby. let's not forget that. what we have done is pretty good but we are very proud with the effort. an experimental welsh side hung on to beat georgia 13—6 at the principality stadium. wales made 1a changes to the side that lost to australia last time out. young winger hallam amos got the only try of the game. and a below—strength ireland beat fiji in dublin — but only just. they started well and were 1a points ahead at one stage, but needed a late ian kearney penalty to finish the match off, 23 points to 20. manchester city still look unbeatable as they preserved their big lead at the top of the premier league. they beat leicester 2—0 with a couple of special goals in the process. manchester united, chelsea, liverpool and arsenal all won as well.
6:35 am
ben croucher has the pick of saturday's action... sitting constantly, it is as cosy as it gets for manchester city at the top of the table, playing the kind of football that you can live with. with the latest to come up against the side having their own goal of the side having their own goal of the season competition, gabriele finished off a flowing team move. provided the individual resinous —— williams. —— brilliance. rola to give more distance from three contenders and they were going to keep going. still a point clear of manchester united who rediscovered their swagger against newcastle. man of the match paul pogba back from injury, back on the scoresheet. still daylight between the manchester clubs, just a point between those in north —— north london. chelsea have jumped
6:36 am
between those in north —— north london. chelsea havejumped above spurs. they thrashed west brom 4—0. theirfans made spurs. they thrashed west brom 4—0. their fans made an spurs. they thrashed west brom 4—0. theirfans made an early spurs. they thrashed west brom 4—0. their fans made an early exit. the manager followed. the important thing is doing the right thing for the football club. whether that is me staying and —— or whether it is a change. they will have to make that decision but the decision should be made to the benefit of the football club, not the benefit of any individual. what west brom wouldn't give for a win. liverpool now have three in a row. muhammad scored three in a row. muhammad scored three in a row. muhammad scored three in a row. it is equally sweet for burnley. three straight wins as well. it keeps on seventh and keeps swa nsea well. it keeps on seventh and keeps swansea sitting leicester treaty in the bottom three. in scotland celtic look unbeatable too. 64 games its now been since their last league defeat but they had to wait until 12 minutes from time to beat

6:38 am
everything he needs to do and i have done everything i need to do. we are setting up one final day. who would have predicted this final of the atp world tour finals at the start of the week? grigor dimitrov against david goffin. belgian goffin sprung the biggest surprise of the finals by beating roger federer in three sets. he said the win gave him so much happiness while federer suffered only a fifth defeat this year maybe never reached my best level. the first set was all right. he didn't play very well in that set. so it's pretty disappointing but at the end he did play extremely well and he was the better player on the court so i feel like it's ok like this. dimitrov beat the americanjack sock in three sets for a shot at the biggest title of his career. the bulgarian faces goffin in london later this evening. the match is live on bbc two, coverage starts at 6am. carl frampton's homecoming fight

in belfast was a successful one after a points victory over mexican horacio garcia frampton did go to the canvas in the seventh round but his solid work at close range throughout the contest gave him the edge of the judge's scorecards. he's now targeting another attempt to win back a world title british speed skater elise christie has won the first world cup short track event of the season, taking gold in the 500 metres in seoul after she made a false start. earlier this year, christie became the first british woman to win a world championship gold, she's now one of britain's best medal hopes at next year's winter olympics. what a busy morning in sport! let's look at the rugby union. it is 24— six at the moment. they look safe now. papua new guinea has been a surprise package. stronger than what
6:40 am
most people would have had them done for. home and dry, into the semifinals. after rugby league world cup. don'tjinx it! robert mugabe, the president of zimbabwe, will this morning meet with the military leaders who have taken control of the country, it is expected that that they will try to persuade mr mugabe to stand down. his zanu—pf party, will also meet to discuss stripping him of his title. let's speak now to alex magaisa, a former adviser to the country's opposition leader. thank you for taking the time to join us this morning. we are very grateful to you. is this the end of robert mugabe today?” grateful to you. is this the end of robert mugabe today? i think this is the end of an era. the pressure against mr mugabe is just relentless and if he does not understand it, i think he will end up being pushed out and it will be quite disgraceful
6:41 am
for him. we saw the scenes yesterday with so many people out on the street. is it just with so many people out on the street. is itjust the sentiment finally allowed to express itself after so many years when people were afraid to speak out? absolutely. yesterday, we saw the convergence of many forces. it doesn't mean that all of these people agree on all of the things that they certainly agreed that it is time for mr mugabe to go. and what the vendor for the future? you know more can change arrive, he was part of the government for a period of time. zimbabwe has a lot of potential and talent. there is a lot of potential and it is important to be used to create space for democracy. —— morgan tsvangirai. is there that
6:42 am
robert mugabe can hang on? he is a very stubborn man. he will try to fight until the last but the pressure on him isjust too much. he cannot stop the tide. presumably, when you say he will try and fight and hang on, the army have gone against him now so how can he hang on? he has lost the army, he has survived because of the army, he survived because of the army, he survived because of the army, he survived because the military powers has been behind him especially since 2008 when he almost lost an election to mr morgan 2008 when he almost lost an election to mrmorgan tsvangirai. 2008 when he almost lost an election to mr morgan tsvangirai. he will try to mr morgan tsvangirai. he will try to use all of the tricks in the book to use all of the tricks in the book to survive but on this occasion, those supporting him have taken over the power and that a big bet is any potential to survive. where will he go? what will happen to him?|j potential to survive. where will he go? what will happen to him? i would like to think he would not leave the country. he is a very power —— proud man. if you'll is that he is
6:43 am
entitled to zimbabwe and feels as he is entitled to do as he wishes. i think the longer he stays and love he tries to resist, he is reducing his options to stay in zimbabwe. whoever takes over, will they be happy for robert mugabe to live safely in zimbabwe in the future? icho said even those behind this military —— option do have sympathy and respect for him. these are people that have been together for more than 50 years. i suspect that some of them might want to give him that dignified exit and have the continued negotiation. they think maybe they will keep him inside the country that he is reducing his opportunities that because of the stubbornness he is exhibiting. it's 6:45am, and you're watching breakfast from bbc news.
6:44 am
here's philip with a look at this morning's weather. what a beautiful night's sky. clear sky for us to what a beautiful night's sky. clear sky for us to get what a beautiful night's sky. clear sky for us to get clear what a beautiful night's sky. clear sky for us to get clear skies what a beautiful night's sky. clear sky for us to get clear skies like that? indeed so. this was the scene across one part of cumbria. quite widely, i suspect, across one part of cumbria. quite widely, isuspect, last across one part of cumbria. quite widely, i suspect, last night, across one part of cumbria. quite widely, isuspect, last night, once the overnight rain had gone. it's led to that sort of temperature profile first up — minus 5 in cumbria but, out west, a bit of a different tale. more in the way of cloud here, because that weather front is not a million miles away. the mist and fog is not a widespread problem, but worth thinking about for the next hour or two if you're on the roads. through the day, this veil of cloud will creep further towards the east. ever—present, and in fact it's thick enough in one or two spots across the south—west already that there'll be the odd spot of rain. never amounting to very much on its southern extremity.
6:45 am
you're going to have hazy sunshine, i would have thought, across central and eastern parts of england and wales. further north, there is a bit more about the cloud and, consequently, the rain here as well for the south—west of scotland into northern ireland too. further north and east in scotland, you are the drier —— the drier your day will be until you get to the northern isles and far north—east, a breeze and one or two showers. 0vernight, this relatively mild air will push into the cold air across scotland. as a consequence, the snow will fall to about 200m initially, then rise, as more mild air comes in. well, that doesn't look very mild but, compared to where we've been last night, it is much milder, and very much milder across the far south—west. as we get on through monday, much of the bulk of the rain will gradually drift away, but it will leave behind one of those days — lots of cloud, bits and pieces of rain and drizzle. the good news is — it will be mild for
6:46 am
many. for scotland, it will be one of those raw, grey sort of days, because the mild air doesn't quite make it in towards the northern parts of scotland. so it's a mild, grey day for many, and that's the way it stays as we get into the middle part of the week — frontal systems coming in from the atlantic. wet and windy for many tuesday and, indeed, on into the middle part of the week. see you later. 0h, indeed, on into the middle part of the week. see you later. oh, dear. not what we want! philip, thank you very much indeed. not too bad. wet and windy. it's winter. actually, no, it's autumn. we'll bring you the headlines at 7:00am. time now for this week's click. just across the water from hong kong, on the chinese mainland, lies a city at the heart
6:47 am
of the country's technological revolution. welcome back to shenzhen. this is where stuff gets made. more than 70% of the world's mobile phones are manufactured in china. but all that industry is taking its toll on the city. as the buildings go up to accommodate the influx of businesses, the smog has come down to remind everyone of the price you pay for a rapidly expanding industrial economy. the middle—class here is also consuming more power, as well as demanding something else — good quality home—grown products. and chinese brands are rising to the challenge, with names like zte, xiaomi and huawei even breaking out of china and becoming recognised and desired worldwide. one such brand is 0neplus.
6:48 am
now, despite only being four years old, it's already turned out a number of phones that have been compared favourably to the top end samsungs and iphones and this week it unveiled a brand—new handset, the st, with all the fanfare that a big phone launch gets these days. are you all excited? the secrecy that surrounds these new phones‘ prelaunch is intense and, let's be honest, it's part of the hype. look, it's another black rectangle! but as such it's really rare to get a look behind the scenes at the design, the manufacture and the launch of a new device. but in shenzhen, two weeks before the unveiling, we were given exclusive access to the inner workings of the production line on the run—up to d—day. now i'm qualified to serve you pastries. they make loads of different types of phones in this factory,
6:49 am
so to keep the st as secret from all the other workers, everything happens behind the blue shroud of secrecy. are you ready? thank you. come in. welcome to production line 27. the phone starts life as just a tiny camera there and then it's gradually assembled around this u shaped production line, which means by the time it gets to the end it's a fully featured phone, just about there. this is the reason china has come to dominate electronics manufacturing. a ready supply of a disciplined, relatively low—cost workforce. each person here has one uniquejob which requires concentration, speed and precision. a single speck of dust caught in the camera lens and the finished phone will be rejected. what i found most surprising
6:50 am
about this is it's all people. i would have thought with this kind of high precision job, these phones would have been built solely by machines, but it's pretty much all humans. each line can produce more than 90 phones an hour. it's exhausting just watching this. fortunately, the staff get a two—hour lunch break and also, suddenly at 3pm... bell rings this might look weird, but having seen how intense this job is and how much concentration you need, this ten minute eye break is invaluable. i think if i was doing thisjob i'd just want ten minutes to get my head down and close my eyes and reset my brain too. wow! now, these people are bringing
6:51 am
to life a design that has been anguished over, squeezed for efficiency and ultimately compromised to keep costs down. i'm meeting with one of the designers to get the inside track on how he's made this black rectangle ever so slightly different from all the others. for every new phone, you come up with lots of different designs, like this. 200. oh, my word! do you think we've achieved peak design now? we are still making some choices, some sacrifices, in favour of the beauty of the exterior, still a little bit. such as? well, such as, actually the best place for this would be leaning directly on the corner. in our design, we have this angle here, so that doesn't allow us to put this directly here. back at the factory, simon would be horrified by what happens to his design. dramatic screaming
6:52 am
this is where an unlucky few phones are pulled off the production line to check extreme tolerance. elsewhere, other test phones escape that big plunge, but instead are dropped 5,000 times each. others have their charging ports wiggled and buttons pressed 10,000 times. and then there's the tumble dryer. only when about 70% of the sample phones start surviving this vigorous testing will a build be deemed successful. for me this is a fascinating look at how a phone is born and now that it's being launched this small preproduction line can expand, once the company has an indication of how many orders it will get. and that's the secret. not to produce more than you can sell. so when 0neplus decided to take on the big brands, which can all afford to fail, it decided to sell its first phone
6:53 am
by invitation only. what was the thinking behind that? ‘cause i would have tried to make it as available as possible. so being a brand—new company and not making such a complicated product as a smartphone and being based here, we didn't really have the opportunity to test the product in all the countries where we sold it and adding to that we didn't know how many phones to make. if you end up having too many phones in your warehouse that you can't sell, its over. with the launch over, 0neplus will nervously await the first reviews and, more importantly, the advance orders. and they will decide whether these people will be joined by hundreds more or not. the uk's anti—bullying week is now coming to an end,
6:54 am
but behind closed doors, computer screens and even smart phones, the bullying that some encounter in the school playground still lives on after—hours. after i did come out, i then received online anonymous messages from an account set up to message me, telling me i should kill myself, because obviously they didn't agree with my sexuality. it destroyed me because not only was the bullying happening at school, it had followed me to my home. it followed me to my room, my safe space where i feel happy and i am myself, isuddenly couldn't be any more. thomas moved schools and went on to become one of facebook‘s anti—bullying ambassadors, a scheme funded by the social network to train up pupils to provide peer—to—peer support within secondary schools. it's really important to have someone there because it's someone
6:55 am
they know they can come to as well. and with the ambassadors being their generation, children are more likely to come to us and know that they're there for them. because we are their age, we have similar interests so they can come to us much easier. but with so many different places to communicate, the problem is hard to police, hard to monitor and hard to solve, as those at the frontline of dealing with cyber bullying attest. 0ur concern is just how awful the things are that people write. it's very sad, but we do regularly see those sorts of comments about "everybody hates you, go kill yourself". those sorts of things, which i can't imagine would happen in a face—to—face environment. as the big and small players try to overcome the issue, one british company has big ambitions. they want to get their software on every single child's device before they use it for the first time. safetonet don't like to refer
6:56 am
to their software as parental control because they feel that could put people off. some of the functions, though, could be considered that. for example, monitoring the amount of time that your children are online and limiting that however you see fit. you can block devices and websites, but it also is planning on upping the game of what these sorts of products can do by adding a bit of artificial intelligence. by later this year, it's going to be aiming to track the behavioural changes, so they can pre—empt any bullying before it actually happens. it aims to understand context, providing triggered alerts for parents, rather than letting them actually spy. one of the ways that we identify when children are trending sad and maybe even depressed is they stop posting selfies of themselves because they've lost that self—confidence. so our software is designed to be able to pick up those trends and recognised, again, there's
6:57 am
a change in behavioural patterns. so we are identifying cyber bullying, abuse, aggression, sextortion, grooming and other predatory risks. great if it works, but of course it's all really about human behaviour. culturally we obviously do have an issue that young people believe that you can behave this way online. we need to send a clear message, you don't, and i think it takes all of us to work together, educators, parents and tech companies, to make sure children understand that. so whilst none of the solutions may be foolproof, maybe these ideas together could make cyber bullying a lesser problem in the future than it is today. that's it for the short cut of click in china this week. the full—length version is on iplayer right now. i promise we will be back in this fascinating country very, very soon. in the meantime you can check us out on social media. thank you for watching, and we'll see you soon.
6:58 am
