to get to brisbane, england had to cross the red sea. in auckland they were staring down at tonga's town. this stadium can hold a quarter of the nation, but england found an early break. wing play in this sport is about timing and jermaine mcgillivray is rarely late. by half—time they had it under control. gareth widdop scoring. the team looked safe and sound and john bateman's third score looked to have sealed it. england's try. it's looking as if it will be england in the semifinal. but the drama was just beginning. tonga's fans sing hymns from the stands and now the team had found something almighty. the chorus inspired them to three tries in the last seven minutes and in the final seconds, they were on charge for the line. fifita has lost it! he has lost it and

england have won it! tonga may never get so close to the top of world sport, but in the end, england's cruise control became survival instinct. tonga trauma overcome, it is australia next for the title. over in brisbane, england have a slim lead after day three of the opening ashes test but it was australia who turned up the heat thanks to captain steve smith's epic century before england lost two wickets in the final session. england finishing the day on 33—2, a lead of just seven runs. disappointed to lose two wickets, but it could have been worse. it was proper theatre, you know? proper test match cricket. fast bowling, batsmen playing it well, a few players taking blows, but tomorrow will be slightly different. we have to set up a try

and bat 90 overs tomorrow, make the bowlers bowl 20 overs each. it's a lot harder to continue with that sort of tactic through a whole day. lewis hamilton has broken the track record for the second day in a row in final practice for the abu dhabi grand prix. his mercedes team—mate valtteri bottas was second quickest. hamilton will be looking for the 73rd pole position of his career when qualifying begins in less than half an hour's time. that's all the sport — now it's time for click. this week: fighting fires... naked navigation... and a real—life rocketeer. on click we often look out for technology which can help

save people's lives. this week: fighting fires... for example, we went to rwanda to look at how drones were speeding up deliveries of blood and recently, closer to home, i looked at how the response times of the air ambulance in london were being improved by better connectivity. if you live in the developed world, you will probably take it for granted that you can dial the emergency number, someone will answer and help will arrive. well, in kenya, that's not the case. in the capital, nairobi, alone, there are more than 50 different numbers for different ambulance services and if you need a fire engine, well, that's at least a dozen more, and even then there is no guarantee they'll be able to get to you. well, kate russell has been to nairobi to meet a couple of entrepreneurs who have had the great idea of amalgamating them all into one service. think uber for emergency services.

for most living in a modern metropolis, calling an ambulance involves dialling a single short code. but in a city of more than 6 million people, nairobi has no functioning central emergency number. with five public hospitals and dozens of private hospitals and clinics all operating independently, you have to know who to call if you need an ambulance here and hope that there's someone on duty to pick up. caitlin and maria run a start—up in nairobi hoping to address this problem. you just take for granted that 911 exists and we did as well. both of us had lived here for years and we never even considered it and we'd worked in health and i never even thought what i would do in an emergency. we just started asking people, have you seen an ambulance before, who has an ambulance? we would go and meet and find ambulances in parking lots and we started a really simple tally of how many ambulances

we could find. we realised there were so many ambulances and nobody has any idea where they are. flare‘s aim is to connect emergency response vehicles on an uber style platform that can route calls to the operator that can get there quickest. when the call comes in i get to know the patient‘s location, i click on the location. we see all the vehicles that are within my range. i can select our ambulance service, which is six minutes away. let's click on the ambulance service i'm going to dispatch, it gives me the contact number and their current location and the estimated time. it also gives me the direct route for them. so you've been using this system through states of emergency, for example the first elections. we used it for the election of 2017, and we also had a backup for the radios.

we had the emergency services covering all the emergency situations that had arised. sorry, sorry? laya, emergency! a busy city hospital, we left patrick to his work and headed out onto the streets to see first—hand the traffic problems that make this kind of operator routeing a lifesaver. this was especially important when violence broke out during the october elections. fla re‘s ambulances were 33% busier attending to emergencies in these hotspots. the response times we've seen have gone down from 162 minutes, which is the average, which is nearly three hours, which is insane, to about 15 to 20 minutes. so far the platform has 30 ambulances online with a goal

to reach at least 50 by the end of january next year. an annual membership fee gives patients access to the emergency hotline and covers the cost of any callouts, which otherwise would have had to be paid by credit card before an ambulance is dispatched. the fee is currently around $15—20 but flare say this might change as the service matures. eventually flare wants to add more concierge style features for its members, like real—time updates and treatment information. the data being collected might also prove useful to help co—ordinate better service across the city. one of the things we recently learned is there's a lack of ambulances between 7am and 9am and the reason for that is that the night team is handing over to the day team so all providers are doing that shift change, so there's a delay in that happening so then there aren't enough ambulances online to actually respond to the emergencies. you can use that information and go

to all the providers and say, maybe stagger your times? completely, or make the handover process more efficient so that doesn't even occur. fire means even bigger problems for emergency callouts in nairobi. as well as the fractured co—ordination issues seen with ambulances, there's a desperate shortage of trucks and water supplies. tragedies like this in nairobi's vast clothes market, gikomba, are all too common and often left burning for much longer than they should be because of a simple lack of access to resources. 999 goes directly to the police headquarters, to the police control room. once you call the police control room, they start looking for the nearest ambulance service or the nearest fire service. there's no radio linkage anywhere. the phones they have belong to four individuals.

the fire and ambulance service are controlled separately by different players. ict fire and rescue is the first firefighting school of its kind in kenya. i went to visit them and got to try out some training. flare is working with the school to add as many firetrucks as possible to their nairobi coverage, as well as locating available public and private water supplies to add to the map. there are enough hydrants in nairobi theoretically, they were planned for, but a lot of the hydrants have been built on top of so we are surveying nairobi to see where there are publicly available hydrants and where there are private hydrants are that we can actually tap into. at this stage it's unclear how the membership funding model will play out for fire cover as callout costs could be radically higher and more variable than ambulance work. flare has high hopes of becoming the 911 equivalent for the whole

of kenya in the future. kate russell in nairobi solving a problem that really needs solving. i have to say that's not always the case in the world of technology. take, for example, smart cities, which we haven't really proved we actually need, so far. but authorities in canada have teamed up with a massive tech name to develop a smart neighbourhood that it says will massively improve sustainability and affordability. paul carter has been to toronto to find out more about google‘s grand designs. google‘s parent company, alphabet, has its fingers in many technological pies, from home automation, to search, to life sciences and autonomous vehicles but now the company has an even bigger idea — it wants to build a whole new city. well, sort of.

authorities in ca nada's largest city, toronto, have announced a partnership with google stablemate sidewalk labs to design a new waterfront area known as quayside. sidewalk labs say they want to see a city built from the internet up. what does that look like? streets will come alive with a vitality we expect from sort of the greatest urban environments in a way that has never actually been seen before. the plans include modular buildings that will automatically adapt to wind and rain. robot delivery services, underground rubbish disposal trains, heated roads to melt the snow, digital navigation systems, smart traffic, self—driving buses. so far, sojetsons, but will any ordinary people actually be able to afford to live there? what's really interesting when you sit down with the sidewalk people is that a big part of what they want to do and a big part of the advertisement they

present for themselves is that this will lower the cost of living. they're trying to find ways to reduce your cost of mobility, so, for example, you don't actually have to have a car at all. these plans also rely on data and lots of it. sensors in all aspects of the development — buildings, roads, open spaces — will measure how and when people use the environment. in a week when it was revealed android phones were sending location data back to google, should people be concerned about their privacy? they have a profit motive and a business purpose for existence that you have to make sure at all times you safeguard the public interest and that's our job on everything we do. they made it very clear that even though they are part of the alphabet organisation, which includes other technologies, like waymo is their driverless car autonomous vehicle, they are under no pressure or no directive from alphabet to have to use their technology. they believe that to

fulfil their objectives, they want to get the best in class, the most innovative technologies, wherever they may be. both waterfront toronto and sidewalk labs now have a year to thrash out the finer details of the plan. any time you do anything complicated, i was deputy mayor of new york for the six years right after 9/11, my responsibilities included the rebuilding of the world trade center site, you're never going to get unanimity, but that's what the democratic process is all about, about putting ideas out there, getting feedback, adjusting them and ultimately hopefully winning over enough people that you can move forward. at the moment this smart city of the future exists only in drawings and documents. city planners and technologists from around the world will be watching with interest to see if google‘s grand plans ever make it from concept to construction. hello and welcome to the week in tech.

it was the week that us prosecutors charged an iranian man with hacking into hbo, leaking scripts for everyone‘s favourite tv show, game of thrones, and demanding over £4 million in ransom. elsewhere, skype disappeared from app stores in china after the government said it did not comply with the local law. the long—running net neutrality debate took another turn this week as us regulators rolled back the laws that were brought in under president obama. the chairman of the federal communications commission said the changes would stop the federal government micromanaging the internet. critics argue the changes could lead to unequal access to the internet. and humans and machine have once again been pitted against each other, this time in the battle of the drone pilots. researchers at nasa's jet propulsion lab set up a time trial between their artificial intelligence and drone pilot ken loo. loo was the winner when it came

to speed but was less consistent overall than the ai system. it wouldn't be click news without a robot. this fine specimen stands at 5'1" and calls itself thrc3. the bot is designed to mirror the movements of its human overlord and may one day be used in locations too dangerous for humans. that's all fine before it gets fed up and goes on strike, citing an inhospitable working environment! earlier in the show we saw how a smart city can be built from the ground up but you still need to be able to find your way around it. i've been looking at some of the latest augmented reality that aims to help but first, i need to go and find the man who knows all about it. but he is not the only person i am meeting. hotstepper is a way—finding app that uses this scantily clad character to guide

you to your designated destination. it is doing so by combining ar, geolocation data, and mapping, and while it is not the only app to overlay directions on the real world, it certainly has a unique character. he isjust doing a dance. as people are walking past the pub. you must be luke. lara, good to meet you. you too. why am i following this man around? why have you designed him looking like this? after the year we have had in 2017 i think we needed some humour so i wanted to make it more interesting to get from a to b. there are lots of navigation apps out there, why are people going to choose this one? some people find maps on their phones quite complicated to use. we have also put in gigantic sd arrows at the end of the roads you can follow him and see from the arrows where you want to go.

there are some challenges, we don't actually know where a road begins and a pavement stops we have to kind of do our best to calculate where we think it is. to make it look as believable as possible, what we do is try to find out where we think you are, what the weather is like where you are, if it is sunny or cloudy and then specifically, the location of the sun and if we can work out where the sun is, we can render his shadow naturally to where it should be. but when you are not having fun on foot then maybe you are trying to find a place to leave your car. ar measuring app air measure are prototyping a function to help you parallel park. not something you would want any inaccuracy on. in the meantime, it can be used for measuring furniture, creating a floor plan, or seeing how tall you are. but if you are more focused on finding your way around and have taken a shine to hotstepper, just don't lose your friend or you may lose your way. ok, you cannot miss the arrow but where has my man gone? where is he? the way we talk online has changed

in the last decade and i'm not talking about the rise of social networks like facebook and twitter, but the even bigger explosion in mobile messaging apps like whatsapp, line and wechat depending on where you are in the world. since 2014 we have been using them even more than the big social networks. and with all of those people spending all of that time chatting, rather than browsing, it is not surprising that companies are desperate to talk to us too. and i can only mean one thing — bots. chat bots. and plenty of them. modern bots promise to connect with us and understand us in more ways than ever before and that means they could potentially do more than just sell us stuff. for example, they may even change lives. dave lee has been looking

at a unique project in seattle which is using chat bots to help women working in the sex industry to stay safe. this is aurora avenue, north seattle, a long, straight road full of liquor stores, worn out car dealerships, and cheap motels. it is known as one of the traps in the area and that means it is a popular place where women would come and be involved in street prostitution and men come to basically drive up and solicit for sex. as day passes into night, we see only a handful of working women walk by. just because this street isn't as busy as it perhaps once was doesn't mean this business has gone away and in fact it is quite the opposite. the scale of the job to save these women who are now behind closed doors is incredibly overwhelming. like just about every business you can think of, the sex trade is now almost completely online.

powered by listings websites which do little to prevent abuses. it makes the women caught up in this dark world much less visible than ever before. i was in the life for ten years. i had a pimp, it was very violent, i have a quota i had to meet every day, and if i didn't make the quota, there were punishments for that. i stayed sometimes in hotels for weeks, months at a time, the same room, not leaving, maybe just to smoke a cigarette or go to the vending machine to get a snack. those four walls and i remember the tv playing just so there was noise going, right? i do remember sitting in there and thinking the whole world had forgotten about me. and what would have shifted if i have looked down on my phone and someone would have said hey, this is jackie from rest, i used to be in the life. i have resources, do you want to chat? real escape from the sex trade, or rest, is a group that seeks out and helps women trapped

in the sex industry. this is a centre for those taken out of the life. it is temporary, safe accommodation. the organisation is backing a new initiative developed with the help of microsoft that uses chatbot technology to intercept anyone considering buying sex. the team places fake sex ads on popular sites. when a potential customer texts the number seeking to buy, it is a chatbot that replies. in this case we have set up the bot so it is simulating a 15—year—old trafficking victim. this is asking me questions like how old am i, $100 per hour, what service are you looking for. we work with survivors of trafficking to ask them how a conversation like this would go? what would you say? what are the tipoffs that this would maybe not be a bot but a law enforcement officer?

it has told you it is 15, how does that sound? that's where the hammer drops. here's the message. wow. that is a really shocking feeling. somebody who thinks they are anonymous and can go on the internet and buy another human being, it is a big wake—up call. the bot isn't being used to arrest people. instead it is intended to work as a deterrent. similar artificial intelligence technology is being used to scrape websites and reach women who may be need help. outreach comes via a text message, something that is much easier to hide from a pimp than talking to a charity worker in the street. with text outreach, we can reach so many more individuals on these phone numbers that we are pulling from online ads and when a girl gets a text message, she can respond to it in a time and a place that is safe for her to do so. impressed with what they've seen so far, law enforcement agencies in seattle are now using the tech with encouraging results.

there are thousands of buyers online at any time of the day or night. when we post a fake ad posing as a person involved in prostitution we will get 250 responses in the first two hours and there is no way that law enforcement has the capacity to respond to that. a chatbot allows us to connect with and deter all of those buyers online at any time. we've never able to do that. yet this issue needs a more permanent solution to stop websites being used to sell sex. that is what is being worked on here at the us senate. it is time to say no more. new anti—sex trafficking measures have bipartisan support here but some tech companies have raised concerns that the new rules could be too broad. ok, here we go, we are going up.

it will be able to fly as fast as a0 kilometres an hour at an altitude of 2500 feet. on a single tank, it should last for about 30 minutes, covering distances of 20 kilometres, carrying about 100 kilos. and the company says it will be used for far more than just fulfilling the dream of human flight. translation: what can we do if there are people stranded in a high—rise fire? this jet pack can reach places a helicopter cannot. a helicopter requires space but with a jet pack you can get very near and hose the fire down. martin aircraft has been developing flight technology for over three decades and previously thought it would start selling these by last year. now, the company hopes the chinese financial boost will finally be enough to get it off the ground. back at my vr demonstration, i am starting to realise i may not be the idealjet pack pilot. that is quite enough from us for this week's click

but there is plenty more happening on facebook and twitter. thank you for watching and we will see you soon. hello there. autumn is doing a very good impression of winter this weekend, certainly as far as the weather is concerned because some of us started the day looking like this. a blanket of snow for this weather watcher in the derbyshire peaks. stirling started off with some snow on the ground but a beautiful sunrise and generally speaking the further east you are today, this was north—east england earlier on, the fewer showers you will see and the more in the way of sunshine you will get on what will, for all of us, be a cold

and windy day. the wind is particularly strong across northern scotland, gales likely here. showers continuing to feed into the north—west. the further east you are, fewer showers and more of that crisp autumn sunshine to enjoy. here is a closer look at the weather this afternoon and across northern scotland we will continue to see some rain and sleet and snow over high ground. very windy in the far north and temperatures struggling, three degrees in inverness and glasgow, that is about the best you can expect. still some wintry showers in northern ireland and north—west england and into the midlands and wales. most of the snow over the hills and mountains at this stage, at lower levels more likely rain and some of those showers will be heavy but not many getting into the south—east. here a lot of dry weather, but some of the showers continue to feed into the south—west and over the hills and moors, still the potential for some snow. heading into this evening and overnight, the showers continue to affect western areas particularly, further east staying

largely dry with clear spells. more of a breeze than there was last night so it might not turn quite as chilly. towns and cities close to freezing, the countryside a little below and i think there will be a widespread frost tomorrow morning. on first glance, tomorrow is a repeat performance with lots of crisp sunshine, largely dry in the east, some showers in the west but then things start to change. cloud rolls in toward northern ireland and other western fringes and we will see some more persistent rain here late in the day and with that temporarily the temperatures begin to nudge upwards little bit. some slightly milder air will be associated with this set of weather fronts swinging through during sunday night bringing outbreaks of rain but as soon as this frontal system clears away, we get back into the cold air. temporarily milder in the south on tuesday and through the week ahead it looks chilly with a mix of sunshine and wintry showers. good afternoon. more than 300 people are now known to have been killed byjihadists at a mosque in egypt. air strikes have been carried out against suspected supporters of the group that calls itself

islamic state. the authorities say up to 30 armed men were involved in yesterday's attack. from cairo, sally nabil sent this report. confusion, chaos and despair. here, the closest city to sinai, people
