of sexual assault. christine blasey ford said judge kavanaugh tried to rape her when they were both teenagers. british prime minister theresa may has delivered a defiant statement about her plans for brexit. she has called on the eu to show britain more respect. european council president donald tusk said he remains convinced they can still find a compromise. a bbc news investigation has found that police are struggling to combat child grooming taking place on a smartphone messaging app called kik which is popular with teenagers. kik has played a part in over 11—hundred police investigations into child sex offences over the past five years. but officers say the company won't help identify predators unless they overcome major bureaucratic hurdles. we will have more news at two o'clock. now on bbc news, click. this week, a stage in delhi, a

screaming crowd, and a man with my face on his shirt. india. a technology superpower in waiting. half of the 1.2 billion people here are aged 35 or under. in the years that we have been coming here, we have seen a change from an it outsourcing work out to a place of innovation and start—ups. and although click has a huge audience in india, and although we have

brought indian story to the world, we have not been able to bring the world to india. so it is high time we put that right. we have taken the click light show on the road, to the beautiful setting of new delhi. new delhi! thank you forjoining us! are you well? cheering and applause. and it is here that we wear out audiences with the coolest tech we have seen on our travels. we painted colours in the air, tickled their yea rs, colours in the air, tickled their years, took them to the future, and to the distant past. this is hampi, and by the 16th century it was the second largest mediaeval era city in the world. since 1565 it has laid in ruins but over recent years this unesco world heritage site has been

3d scanned by several different organisations. not only does this mean that what is still there can be digitally preserved but it has also meant that historians have been able to reconstruct a virtual model of how it would have looked in his heyday. we are going to take a walk—through of the temple site. to do that we need a project which will sign down onto the model and a camera up sign down onto the model and a camera up their which will watch for the routes that i want to describe, and this is how i will show it where i want to go. once you have described your route it takes you on a virtual tour, and while you enjoy the scenery on the screen you can see exactly where you are on the model is well up if you digitally preserving this you are keeping it for future preserving this you are keeping it forfuture generations, to be able to really see what used to be existing. the laser pointer and footprints are just the first experiment into how others might experience this kind of virtual tour. it is crying out for a virtual reality set up obviously. this

technique would also be useful to explore sites other than those from times gone by. this kind of technique i think would go very well when you are looking at visualisation is of new architecture, new buildings, where you have people who are exploring things. seeing a physicalform and a virtual form together, things. seeing a physicalform and a virtualform together, it things. seeing a physicalform and a virtual form together, it will really help people to be able to visualise things and also maybe change, digitally you can change anything, so that is exciting. one of many start—ups that has been sprung out of the 23 indian institute of technology, universities that provide education for tens of thousands of young indians and provide integrators for their research after graduation. one of the visions of iit was to perform world —class of the visions of iit was to perform

world—class research in world—class technologies, and it has some global success technologies, and it has some global success story. this includes the ceo of google and bert co—founder of flipkart, binny bansal, who founded the site in 2007, before and is on. when walmart recently bought most of the company, the deal made binny ba nsal the company, the deal made binny bansal a billionaire. while in new delhi i could not resist grabbing a few minutes with the man himself to get a snapshot of the indian tech industry. how have you seen the indian tech scene change in the last 20 years? the indian tech scene really started evolving in the last 10- 12 really started evolving in the last 10— 12 years. 20 years back there was not really at tech scene, the tech scene was people you would graduate and go to the us, work in

data companies, we didn't have indian data companies, there were a handful, you could count them on your fingers. handful, you could count them on yourfingers. so it really handful, you could count them on your fingers. so it really started changing in 2011 when a lot of start—ups started coming out of india. ithink start—ups started coming out of india. i think in the last ten yea rs, india. i think in the last ten years, there has been destined explosion in the number of start—ups and people working in... why is that? multiple reasons. we have a lot bigger market, like vigor economy, we have a lot more people on the internet. ten years back we had 15— on the internet. ten years back we had 15- 20 on the internet. ten years back we had 15— 20 million people on the internet, now we have more than 350— 400 million people connected. that has created a huge market for indian entrepreneurs 110w, has created a huge market for indian entrepreneurs now, to take, really dream big and execute. what you think india is really good at?”

think india is really good at?|j think india is really good at?|j think india is really good at producing global leaders, if you look at companies like pepsi, microsoft, a lot of ceos are indian. and that gives you hope that one day in the future we will have the next google or microsoft coming out of india, because indian entrepreneurs and their leaders can scale businesses globally much better than maybe their chinese counterparts. what do you think india is not good at? given our evolution, that we have had, when things are broken, we need a mindset change. artificial intelligence, good or bad for india? i think both. it is very hard to protect which side the penny falls.

great cause it can solve healthcare at stale, it can solve education at scale, it can solve societal issues at scale. i can imagine that happening. bad because it is going to ta ke happening. bad because it is going to take away a large number ofjobs, so to take away a large number ofjobs, so that becomes, i think that is the problem that can be solved with the right intentions. the right solutions. so i am more optimistic than pessimistic about al. thank you for your time. back at the live show, and we were not creating the world's greatest selfie or playing the world's best game, we spoke to the world's best game, we spoke to the pioneers of india's burgeoning space industry and asked the question on the minds of over1 billion people —— can self driving ca i’s billion people —— can self driving cars via india's traffic was make over the past few years we have been developing the technology, that you

can see without radar, that we have developed software to deal with the chaotic traffic in india. it is a ha rd chaotic traffic in india. it is a hard problem and so far we have done some test, but it would take us a lot more to go into indian cities and deal with the traffic in india. not quite as crazy as you first thought. welcome to the week in tech. this was the week of the world's first hydrogen powered train rolling into a station in germany. sony revealed either a very small playstation or a very big hand. a robot jellyfish bobbled playstation or a very big hand. a robotjellyfish bobbled onto the scene. elon musk has been getting into trouble over his tweets. on monday he was sued by the reddish cave diver that he had accused without evidence of being a child abuser. then the us department of justice ( in into financial tweets made last month. in good news,

spacex has had its first passenger to the moon. space debris has been ca ptu red to the moon. space debris has been captured for the first time. the object was snared in the net from a distance of six metres. the weight of the net will drag the debris into the atmosphere where it will burn up. mit has revealed its intention to create 3—dimensional sculptures from 2—dimensional videos. the system from 2—dimensional videos. the syste m ca n from 2—dimensional videos. the system can recreate the three dimension of version of the scene but they can be rotated and explored. the hope is that the technique could help dancers and athletes learn more about how they move. and what weekly news round—up would be complete without a record—breaking two ton spider robot. dubbed mantis, this hexapod isa robot. dubbed mantis, this hexapod is a british work, this is the first to win the accolade of largest rideable hexapod robot. with a top speed of 0.6 mph, you can run it in

person, if not your nightmares. —— out run it. not sure if you know but as well as being broadcast around the world in english, click is also remade specifically for 110 million farsi speakers in iran, pakistan, tajikistan and uzbekistan. and now we are expanding further. one of the main reasons we relied in new delhi was to celebrate the upcoming launch of click in several different languages, and to introduce the people who will be hosting them. are you ready! the face of the bbc's indian operations is here in delhi, it is the largest bbc hub outside the uk. it is here that all the language is come together to generate their own stories and share content between each other. you have hindi, tamil, punjabi and more. this is one of the bbc‘s studios here,

the presenter is currently rehearsing for click in tamil. it is brilliant. in fact, rehearsing for click in tamil. it is brilliant. infact, click rehearsing for click in tamil. it is brilliant. in fact, click tamil launches in the next two weeks. and it is not just launches in the next two weeks. and it is notjust about india either, eventually click will be broadcast in more than 20 languages. the great thing about all of this is notjust that we will be able to reach huge audiences in there and languages, but we will be able to bring you stories that these guys are discovering on the ground. stories like the app that helps to donate food to the poor, and artificial intelligence that helps implement and recruitment, or even a smart chessboard. and then there are the drones being used to prevent poaching in india's national parks. here isjust a poaching in india's national parks. here is just a taster of that story. these are pictures from a jaipur

national park. they have been filmed from a drone flying at about 30 metres. the drone is cooked with a zoom camera, part of the system being tested here. in the park spread across 32 square kilometres, many spread across 32 square kilometres, ma ny towers spread across 32 square kilometres, many towers have been installed. eachis many towers have been installed. each is fitted with a high resolution camera that can rotate at 360 degrees. and these can be monitored from a control room which is situated several kilometres away from the park. in case any movement is captured on these static cameras, the drones can immediate these swing into action to further monitoring. if there is any danger to any animal 0!’ if there is any danger to any animal orany if there is any danger to any animal or any illegal activities observed, the drones can monitor the situation, till forest officials reached the spot. recordings of cameras can be seen on a reached the spot. recordings of cameras can be seen on a portable device with the help of real—time tracking, it is easy to reach the location. at present, drones have

been operated manually, but in future they can operate on their own with the help of artificial intelligence. as soon as the target is to take dead at the mission control centre, a drone will automatically take off and reach the localised position. -- detected. so it is possible that in future these drones not only talk to each other, but will also be able to take decisions related to surveillance on their own. the company that ma nufa ctu res their own. the company that manufactures these drones claims that he system is less that of a mobile phone and this is safe and all is intent of radiation. but one cannot rule out the possibilities of bird hit. the state government of rajasthan plans to introduce this

and other national parks as well. they believe this will help in not only strengthening the safety and security of wildlife but will also help with research and better planning. one of the big themes that came out of click live in india was the power of click live in india was the power of artificial intelligence and its impact on people's work, especially on theirjobs. one company hoping to ride the aia boom is imerit. it needs a human workforce to train at the algorithms in the first place they clearly annotating training images like these. could you explain to everyone here what imerit does? in orderfor ai to everyone here what imerit does? in order for al algorithms to work, they have to be trained. it's like computer programming. if you just put a computer there and they work

it doesn't work. so you have two programme it. that is called a training aia. what we do is train ai and enrich the data so that our clients can get the best results out of their ai algorithms. so you have a huge human workforce training aia. we have some examples of the kinds of things they all workers do that we will put up on the screen. these are some examples of what you humans are some examples of what you humans are doing to create this training date up. that is right. we are called humans in the loop. humans in the loop of ai. it could be as simple as taking different cars in a parking lot, doing boxes around them, no one which cars have damaged, so being able to look out automatically picking that up and sending back is like an insurance investigator would do. this is where we have probably done the most work. we have done more than 15 million images for self driving autonomous cars. we work with a variety of car

manufacturers. and if you look at this, it is called bounding boxes and polygons. it is like at pixel level. it is dense pixel segmentation. think, for example, there are a few toes the crosswalk. how do you know whether that belongs toa how do you know whether that belongs to a cat, a cat, a small child, there is a wad of paper on the street, do you know if it is a rock ora street, do you know if it is a rock or a wad of paper? so when we do this pixel segmentation it is very complex and you can have up to 50— 70 different things you are marking. just to be clear then, you are training the aia, this is a person, this is a car, it goes away and loads from that? so when a car looks at the street scene, we have trained the ai algorithms so that their computer comp —— can learn from it. the first and we have technologies in al that can be used for crucial

societal applications, particularly like healthcare. there are, in the amount of data, healthcare is about amount of data, healthcare is about a third of the date. and the ability we have, as you can see that, this is our work, where you actually can go in and look at cancer cells and we actually annotate them in these images and use this to train the ai algorithms will stop and if you think about this in a broader societal sense, this can be taken to a large number of people who do not have access to this kind of care and you can do pre— scheming for cancer cells. what is really important is the type of person you employee. so that, i think, the type of person you employee. so that, ithink, is the type of person you employee. so that, i think, is the call, i would say the core contribution of imerit. imerit has about 1500 people, we are

hiring 200— 300 people per quarter. so it is creating jobs. 50% of the workforce are women. yes. applause. and 80% of the workforce are coming from lower income backgrounds. they could be young muslim women, we have a centre called the centre of excellence for computer vision. as for image processing. it is four young muslim women. we so you can imagine this is creating jobs that right from the beginning is inclusive of the workforce. it has diversity. and it has a loss of moral ethics that go with it. -- lot of. the streets of new delhi were designed at the beginning of the 20th century as india's capital moved here. and, compared to much of the development that has followed

since, there is one thing that you really notice. trees. in this part of the city itjust really notice. trees. in this part of the city it just feels really notice. trees. in this part of the city itjust feels that bit cooler and that bit more pleasant because of the shade provided by these tree—lined avenues that were planted way back then. in fact, it in delhi fierce battles rage would be thought of chopping down trees is even suggested. air—quality here, as you probably know, is terrible. and trees are seen you probably know, is terrible. and trees are seen as you probably know, is terrible. and trees are seen as at least part of the solution. and now, get this, plans are fought to build a green wall around the city. a ring of more than 3 million trees to protect against dust storms and other pollution. and it is notjust here in delhi that trees are big news. david reid headed for the troubled forests of shimla, which has seen huge amounts of illegal logging. the question is, good technology help?

if you like trees, you will love shimla. pines sprout from the tarmac, houses are built around them. the forest department numbers every tree, so they know if any go missing. many do. one reason is because constructor for land here missing. many do. one reason is because constructorfor land here is so scarce because constructorfor land here is so scarce and costly. property fetches a premium on the market, a massive amount of pressure on trees to cut them down and turned that land into land that can be built on. now the forest department is turning to technology to fight the felling. like a radio frequency identification, the tags shops used to stop people stealing stuff. the earlier method was to number these trees physically on the ground. but

now we can put this tag so that it can be monitored for oatley. twitter for hours a day. you set up a radio network that are effectively dense you an alarm if it is being tampered with. yes, exactly. even if they trees being cut or an axe is being used on the street, the vibration gets into this. so what is to stop me from just pulling off the tag and cutting the tree down? how is it going to work? there is a pin inside? yes. if you look at the reverse of this rfid tack. there is a small pin that comes out if the tag is pulled out. then a signal goes to the receiver. we took to the woods to see a spot where trees may have been illegally felled. a local lawyer who let us there believes tree protection has to be through technology and is taken out of the hands of people. they can be bought.

we wa nted hands of people. they can be bought. we wanted a system that is not based on trust. it is a trust list system based on objective factual reality, which can only come from reality. —— truss tree. while he believes this property has been clear to enhance its value, elsewhere organised crime is involved. you see these trees behind me, they are himalayan sieders, they are very valuable commodities. the black market price is around £5,500. certain areas of the himalayas there is an active mafia. they have guns and they are violent people. for them we need drone surveillance. we are taking an added view of the images and from that we are sticking them together and running it through our artificial intelligence engine. so this becomes of this, allowing investigators to id and locate individual trees. if this area is

missing some trees we can also get the latter and long of that place we can go there and check whether it really happened. rfid and drones, a long way from numbers daubed on bach. for the forest department is about sharpening their performance and is topping the creams sharpening their performances. if you cut a treat there is the might escape. if using this technology there is no chance of escape. if you cut a treat you can't escape any more. and from david in shimla, back to an excited audience here in new delhi, from what i can tell onstage, had a pretty good evening. and that is if for now from india. thank you so much for watching. don't forget we

live on facebook and twitter —— twitter. you can see loads of extra backstage photos and fun. but from now and from this wonderful audience, it's goodbye and we will see you soon. “— audience, it's goodbye and we will see you soon. —— for audience, it's goodbye and we will see you soon. —— for now. hello. very mixed weather for this weekend, some improvements on the way for next week. storm bronagh swept away and following that we had a cold blustery wind on friday with some showers and plenty of rainbows. this weekend it is going to be wettest across southern parts of the uk at cool for all of us. we have seen bronagh heading up towards scandinavia, battering here with gales and severe gales, the cool showery airflow being replaced by this cloud coming in from the atlantic. quickly that cloud is coming into england and wales and northern ireland.

thickest cloud in the south—west. outbreaks of rain in the south—west into wales, perhaps into the south midlands and later into the south—east of england as well. sunny spells and a few showers to scotland, but not very warm anywhere really. 13—14 degrees at best. under that rain in the south—west it will be a miserable day, could get more rain through the midlands, east anglia during the evening before it fades away and then more rain returns from the atlantic and this time it moves further north. still cold air to scotland and northern ireland, temperatures in scotland down to two or three degrees. into sunday sunshine and showers to scotland, improving in northern ireland but rain for england and wales, miserable day, as it clears away we get the sunshine, watch out for the strengthening wins on the back edge of that rain, it could be gale force, and it will be a cold day. 11—12 degrees in some places. that area of low pressure deepens as it leaves our shores, takes the wind and rain with it, and allows high pressure to build in from the atlantic. that means the weather is going to settle down. there will be showers

across northern scotland where it will be quite windy still on monday, then some showers. away from here, light winds, a fair bit of sunshine around. pleasant enough on monday but still not that warm, 16 degrees at very best. we are getting high pressure building on across the uk because the jet stream is moving north. as we saw over the past weekjet streams pickup areas of low pressure and these areas of low pressure will be steered to the north—west of the uk. that is where the wind and rain is. on tuesday the wins will be lighter everywhere but after a chilly start, some sunshine, temperatures rising in the south, we may see some rains arriving in the north—west. later on tuesday and beyond tuesday as well. the centre of the high—pressure drifts further south allowing that bridges to rise in the southern parts of the uk, but towards north and northern scotland in particular we could get some wind and rain. welcome to bbc news,

broadcasting to viewers in north america and around the globe. my name is lewis vaughanjones. our top stories: senators' ultimatum to the accuser of supreme court nominee — reach a deal to appear, or we vote without you. after the british prime minister's defiant speech on brexit, the european council chief says we can still find a compromise. us secretary of state mike pompeo tells the bbc that north korea is still a nuclear threat — though plans for a second summit are under way. it's in the works, we're hoping everything falls together. it makes good sense here, before too terribly long. and new research suggests one in 20 deaths globally are caused by drinking alcohol.
