this is bbc news. the headlines. it's that time of year again. we head on our annual the husband of islamic state bride pilgrimage to the world's shamima begum tells the bbc biggest mobile event — he wants them to live in the netherlands, with their son, in peace. mobile world congress in barcelona. when you say you're the stands are filled with an array a victim, that s sickening. i lived a miserable life. of gleaming rectangles. i was imprisoned. i was tortured. but, on the whole, i lived in fear. they look quite similar — on first glance at least. police name 17—year—old yousef ghaleb makki as the teenager well, there are plenty who was stabbed to death of great phones here, but mine does a lot already, near altrincham last night. so would i really want to upgrade just for a slightly bigger screen yemen's peace process and a slightly better camera? is in the "last chance saloon" — a warning from the foreign secretary. well, probably not. eight brexiteer lawyers, and it seems that plenty of other including seven mps, set out their demands from the eu, people are in agreement with me. in order to support two of the biggest brands, theresa may's deal. both apple and samsung, have seen sales slow down. a new astronaut capsule successfully guides itself into the international space but where there has been innovation, station. more gold for britain at the world indoor athletics like 56 or foldable screens, the prices are eye—watering. huawei showed off its mate

10, which has an eight inch amoled display. when we saw the device fold it was a wow moment. the screen is thinner than rival samsung's, as the company proudly pointed out, most of the components live to the side. with no release date yet, it did feel very much like a concept phone, though. we were told to keep our mitts off, but on a brief moment of holding it did feel a little weighty. but if you're loving the idea of getting that extra real estate on your phone, but you don't want to indulge in buying a full foldable, well, lg have a dual display. although it will initially be sold as one package, it's actually a phone case that has a second screen as part of it, allowing you to maybe play a game with a separate control pad or simply message a friend your location two apps open.

but if you don't want to fork out thousands on your device, then this is what's happening elsewhere. as always, camera functionality is where everybody is trying to make a splash. so the back of the devices are adorned with an increasing number of lenses. the nokia 9 pureview really went for it, with five cameras — two colour and three monochrome lenses — all working in unison to capture an image so the focus can be changed after the fact. some devices attempt to do this with the help of a depth camera, but the results are less precise. and it's been all about minimising the notch, that black bit at the top, to provide an unobstructed screen, samsung and huawei upped the ante by introducing the discreet punch—hole, which other

manufacturers will no doubt follow soon. another illustration of how hard it is for big players to stay ahead of rivals like oneplus. this is their latest model. and it looks and feels pretty much like one of the high end phones. it has facial recognition, almost an edge to edge screen, and it has a fingerprint sensor built into the screen. but this uses an optical sensor instead of the more premium ultrasound sensor found in the galaxy $10. and more chinese brands are expanding into the west. xiaomi started selling its handsets last year. and oppo showed off its latest high—end device. i do believe this is what you have been waiting for. oppo's first 56 smartphone. as the market gets more crowded

with similar looking phones, the battle to cram in more functionality continues. a few sg—enabled phones are hitting the shops this year, but 56 is not really about a faster connection with our mobiles. it's more about connecting the things that we've never connected before. stands were full of ideas about what that could mean for the future. a robot that can instantly mimic its driver's moves. imagine this happening when they are thousands of miles apart, and this is the kind of collaboration that sg promises to unlock. wearing ar goggles can let you interact with the same 3—d environments, but without the kind of uninterrupted connection 56

should provide, the experience will always fall short. so frustrating. this collaborative game is set up on wi—fi at the moment, the reason being to demonstrate how the ha ptic feedback is a little bit delayed. whereas once it's on 56, well, it should all be happening at the right speed, exactly as i do things — although i don't think it's going to improve my skills. and it can truly unleash the power of ar. we already have ai capabilities in our devices. image recognition, for example, helps to enhance our photos. i played a simple game which shows the speed that our devices can recognise an object in an image. i'm really trying my best here, but no matter how quick i feel like i am, the computer is a lot quicker. the only thing is, at least i get it right every time. if you pull it all together with 56, suddenly you have a very, very highly performing device that's

connected to the cloud with a very low latency. so you can actually have almost immediate responses based on where you are, your context, and that changes the way your device interacts and what you can do with it. for example, if you were actually going on a run and you actually — now, your phone is capable of giving notjust canned exercises, but training as you go along, that is tuned to how your body is responding to it. 56 might make the relationships with our phones a bit more personal. on a grander scale, the entire travel infrastructure around us could be transformed. this is part of millbrook proving ground, the place where cars and their components are put through their paces. but right now, it's serving

as a testbed for 5g, and what that could mean for autonomous and connected vehicles. while 4g radios still need to be used at the moment, the rest of the trial sees movements and interactions tracked on a 5g network. it replicates what could in the future keep traffic safe and well managed. the number of cars today which have sim cards in them, that will evolve into algorithms that help those sensors connect. i think the really key thing is how are you going to use the data to be able to help make the end user's life easier? and that is what's being looked at here. can we get the vehicle to be connected, can we make sure that we're transferring the data? can we do that in a safe and secure environment, so that the data itself is secure? then, can we make sure that the cars themselves are secure from each other, but also are they secure from unexpected events? the much—talked—about low—latency aspect of 5g means no delay,

and that is of course vital when we're talking about moving traffic. this mclaren is travelling at 160 mph. within a 200 metre radius the cars would be able to wirelessly track each other too. even here it feels like there were a lot of vehicles moving very fast, but of course, in the grander scheme of things, these are just a few. we're looking at all of the vehicles on all roads being tracked in this way, and that is a big job. when we talk about millions of devices to be connected to the network per kilometre square, then we talk about cars, homes, streets, hospitals, factories. what we are exploiting here, the technology, it's parallel computing and parallel signal processing. so we have a large number of processing units in parallel, to do the number—crunching in the minimum amount of time.

in terms of ai, when we talk about the automation part of the 5g, when robots are connected or devices are connected, ai plays a very important role in terms of understanding what the device wants to do, or what the device should be doing, and forecasting and predicting in future. but, if all of these vehicles and all cars on the road are relying on that mobile phone network, what happens if it goes down? well, i think what we do as a mobile operator is we continue to look at our network. we did suffer an outage with one of our partners, and that was quite public. we're looking constantly at how we can make sure our network is more resilient in the future, and i think one of the things that will come out of here is how do we make sure that the vehicles themselves are resilient, from a network point of view? before we reach a state of fully connected autonomy, though, 5g could have its work cut out

on road and rail, providing more accurate live tracking and information. we know that, from some of the work we've done on our smart cities report, that from a train transportation point of view, rail sensors working on preventative maintenance can take out £450 million of lost productivity, and that equates to about 2.6 hours per commuter per year of time saved. and then, from a road point of view, having a really good, connected 5g road management system could help take out 10% of time waiting in traffic. and that, you know, for 5.6 million commuters on the road, that would be a real saving. well, that's it for the mwc special. you may not be able to do it on the hour, but if you want to keep track of the team throughout the week, you can find us on facebook and twitter on @bbcclick. thanks for watching.

good evening. storm freya is bearing down on the uk now, bringing a stormy end to the week, so that is destructive winds, heavy rain, and even a little snow. the wendy's what thatis even a little snow. the wendy's what that is across england and wales, of course it was by the north across scotland. it was a telltale sign hanging with them notjust those strong winds, but heavy rain and potential of snow to clear the way for northern ireland in england and wales. locally, gusts of 70 mph, enough to bring down some trees. winter weather is gathering around northern england, by morning, the strongest winds will be confined to

eastern and southern areas, still blowing a gale. severe gales, overnight. the skies clear later in the night, but of course by that stage, the low pressure, storm freya, is into the north sea. these come down. there will be plenty of sunshine to start with, but the day of heavy showers, quite a brisk wind. quite pleasant in the sunshine, but expect some of those that some hail and thunder with them as well. that is because that low— pressure as well. that is because that low—pressure sitting close by to our northern shores, it will still be down on tuesday. another shower every day on tuesday, longer spells of rain at times. cold enough at the attic to be a little bit wintry at the top of the hills. later in the day, we get the next spell of wet weather gathering to the south and west, which means that tuesday night

into wednesday, it will turn progressively wet and potentially quite windy. you can see the area of low pressure, quite a large and dominating feature of the eastern side of the atlantic. that could be some snow over the hills as begun until wednesday. lots of heavy showers following behind. fairly u nsettled showers following behind. fairly unsettled week as you can see. relatively mad at the south, but we have that cold air around the northern half of the uk, particularly for scotland. a stormy into the week, pretty unsettled as we got to the new week, with some of the latest and windiest weather following.
