of an expletive. president trump has warned that he'll re—impose sanctions on iran in less than four months — a move that would undermine the agreement under which tehran curbed its nuclear programme. he now wants the us and europe to impose new restrictions on the iranians. facebook has announced what it says is a major change to its news feed — prioritising posts from family and friends, over those from advertisers and media organisations. the change follows criticism that too much fake news and misinformation has been ending up on the social network. in a few minutes on bbc news — newswatch, first, it's click. i've had enough. enough of old tech. it's all going obsolete, or so it seems. even the days of desktop computers are numbered. right.

let's see what they've got for us this year. the consumer electronics show in las vegas is the place to find out. it's where the new products and concepts launch for 2018 and some of them might just change the world. one of the highlights of ces for me is always finding out how bendy lg is. previously, they have been slightly bendy and this year, i think they have nailed it. a; it? $332? illfif’éfig like a retractable garage door. you can actually choose how far the screen rolls out as well as a widescreen tv which can

be used as a thin notification bar, a wider format 21x9 cinema screen and of course nothing at all. the argument is that you can make use of the space behind it when you're not using it. and in south korea, a lot of people live in high—rise blocks. can you imagine lugging a tv like that up the stairs? much easier if you can roll it down into a handy tube. elsewhere, plenty of other things to see and play with here at ces. here is a telephone from chinese company vivo that does not have a fingerprint scanner on the back, because it has one built into the screen. the oled display shines light on to your arm and an optical scanner buried underneath registers what it sees. here is the link flow fit 360. a necklace with three cameras that

together live—stitch to make a full—person video. you can record a true first person view so others can feel like they were truly there too. now, it's important to catch the eye at shows like these which is hopefully what this thing is doing. this is the hypervision display by kino—mo and is capable of projecting life—size images high above the show floor. all right, sexy, that's enough from you. here is the science bit. we have 2a rapidly spinning led strips. they are flashing different colours as they go around. it gives you the illusion of a persistent image. in the flesh, i have to say, it does really look rather good. don't build up your part. oh, good grief. enough flimsy flimflam from me.

let's get lara lewington now with some of the big announcements from this year's show. and what a week it has been with news from tech‘s biggest players. including the likes of intel saying it will release software fixes to repair security issues surrounding its chips. good morning, dave. we've had press events that have gone wrong with disobedient robots from lg. chloe is not going to talk to me, she doesn't like me evidently. and sony's robot dog wasn't that responsive either. aibo is an autonomous robot and will quickly become a member of yourfamily. right? he ignored me. meanwhile, a lack of female keynote speakers has caused controversy amongst attendees. a situation which has led to raised eyebrows, compounded by the inclusion of robotic pole dancers at a strip club near the event. and on the show floor, as usual, tvs were everywhere but this one really stood out.

samsung wall is 146 inches wide and can be made even larger by adding modules. and finally, toyota has unveiled its new autonomous e—pallete vehicle, to be used for ridesharing, deliveries or even a moving storefront which comes directly to you. that was lara. now one of the big things at the moment in wireless charging. that normally means putting your phone on a pad but it is also is possible to send power through the air. one of the problems with wireless power is that that power is sent in every direction at the same time so wherever your device is, it only receives a tiny fraction of that power. well, here is a system that gets around that by sending focused beams of power to one particular point. the power transmitter can be built into ceiling tiles,

walls, tables or parts of the furniture. all it needs to know is which direction to point the power in. here is the science bit. to work that out, the device needing the power sends out low—power signals in all directions, most of which are blocked by nearby objects. but the signals that do bounce around come and reach the transmitter come in at particular angles. by sending the power back at exactly the same angles, that power bounces about and eventually gets back to the device. the makers told us they can achieve 2 watts of power from a distance of one metre which is impressively about half the power of the smartphone charger. i'm using this light to detect the power beams between the transmitter and the blackbox transceiver. think about your home where you have smoke detectors. it starts beeping at night when it runs out of battery. you can charge it remotely,

you never have to charge the battery again. but with high power beams bouncing around your home, you have to wonder if it is safe. this technology is entirely safe. we look to get fcc a pproval for safety. if you have accepted wi—fi into your home, accepting this technology would be the same. in the future, the power receivers could be made into any shape including that of a aa battery and that means ordinary devices could be converted to wireless power without any modification at all. for a long time, bricks and mortar shops have been trying to keep up with online retailers but the added benefits of keeping track with customer habits as well as providing very easy ways of paying. here is one way that we could see some of those features brought into the real world,

by retrofitting existing stores. aipoly uses off—the—shelf cameras, one appeared to track customers and one to take a look at the products and the customers interactions with them but the real work is happening here in the ai algorithms were it is recognising all the products off—the—shelf and their customers interactions with them. but the ai is using the main camera to keep track of customers. it can recognise faces, identify clothes and follow their movements. through the combination of the customers being recognised, and the products they pick up being identified, when they get to the checkout, they don't even need to scan the items. theyjust need to pay. and if they agree to be remembered for next time, then all they need to do is go and pick up their products and take them away. i'm

having my nails done. this is the 02 nails printer. choose any image and they will print it onto your nail. of course i chose a picture of myself. 0k, richard taylor and nick kwek, beat that! that was dave lee and there'll be plenty more transport on next week's refreshing! this device is actually creating a vacuum in my mouth. it's sucking at my gums and at the same time circulating a flow of water around my teeth. it's intended for users with reduced mobility or people who have difficulty brushing their teeth. it replaces the need to brush and floss too. the guys are working on integrating sensors into future devices so that oral hygienists or dentists will be able to diagnose and treat for gum disease. and it's quite tickly too. ces can really take it out of you and i for one am already pretty sleep deprived.

so what i have in front of me here is a device that's packed with all sorts of technology and the claim is it will provide within 20 minutes the equivalent of 2—5 hours sleep. there will be some electrodes that are put behind my ears here, effectively through this device, that are transmitting signals up to my brain. so i'm going to try this on and i'll see you in 20 minutes. i'll tell you what, richard's got the right idea. walking around here, i'm absolutely exhausted. i'm definitely feeling more relaxed than i was, like, 26 minutes ago. of course i don't know how relaxed i would have felt with just a 26 minute power nap, but i'm ready to rock ‘n‘ roll! ah, vegas. home to world—class talent, and singing superstars. and then there's richard taylor and me. this karaoke box uses professional

autotune on your voice, which, frankly, makes you sound a bit like cher on a bad night. # sweet home alabama...# next stop, caesars. # lord i'm coming home to you...# that is it for the short carts this week. more in the full—length version which is up on i play for you to watch right now. we will be backin you to watch right now. we will be back in the us, specifically vegas, next week. don't forget to check us out on twitter for backstage videos. hello and welcome to news watch with me, samira ahmed. the bbc‘s china editor accuses the employer of unlawful plea this conversation. —— discrimination. and a growing number of patients are not being seen at d&d within the target for hours but

does the bbc know exactly a number that is? it was one of those weeks on the bbc itself became the story. presenting radio 4's today programme withjohn presenting radio 4's today programme with john humphrys was presenting radio 4's today programme withjohn humphrys was carrie gracie who until the day before was the top —— china editor. her resignation appeared on the front pages of several of the day ‘s newspapers and lead to discussions in parliament as well as media. so how did it come to this? the row comes from the publication of the bbc‘s salaries. carrie gracie with an annual pay packet of £135,000 did not appear on the list but she noticed that two other international on air editors did, jeremy bowen, earning 150 and £200,000 and jordan sobel with 200— 250,000. having thought that she had secured pay parity with men in equivalent roles when she took up the post, she then initiated a

grievance procedure against her employer and frustrated with its lack of progress on sunday said she would be leaving china and returning toa would be leaving china and returning to a post in the london newsroom. bbc management refused a request for someone bbc management refused a request for someone to discuss this on the programme, pointing us towards this statement. carrie gracie was not satisfied with the bbc‘s response. carrie gracie was not satisfied with the bbc's response. this is what she had to say. the bbc talks about a gender pay gap but what i'm talking about isn't a gender pay clap ware sometimes men and women are in different roles which explains the differences in pay. what i'm talking

about is pay discrimination which is when men are paid more to doing the samejob or a job when men are paid more to doing the same job or a job of equal value. that is illegal. what to our viewers think about this? michelle bruce e—mailed. —— gross. colin robertson agreed.
