but first the headlines. families are told to buy their own oxygen as india hits a record number of new coronavirus cases for the fourth day in a row. the uk is sending more than 600 pieces of medical equipment to the country in a bid to help — including oxygen concentrators and ventilators a senior minister declines to say whether borisjohnson was ever lent money or sought donations to help pay for the redecoration of his downing street flat. england's biggest football teams — and the sport's governing bodies — will stage a four—day boycott of social media from next friday — to campaign for social media companies to crack down on online abuse. and, as la gears up for tonight's oscars, we go behind the scenes at the ceremony�*s new venue — union station.

hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are polly mckenzie from the think—tank, demos and the executive chairman of the cicero group, iain anderson. tomorrow's front pages, starting with... i'm starting with. .. always i'm starting with... always so envious at how tidy your i'm always so envious at how tidy your homes are. i'm always so envious at how tidy your homes are. the ft leads with calls from some credit suisse shareholders to remove its risk chief over archegos and greensill fallout. uk aid shipment begins itsjourney to india — the metro reports on the aid being sent to india to help it fight its wave of coronavirus infections. also reporting on aid being sent the india — the guardian leads on downing street ruling out an urgent inquiry into pandemic mistakeswhile the express reports calls from mps for the prime minister to �*plough

on in winning the war against covid' and rise above attacks by his former aide dominic cummings. also with number ten — the mail leads with reports on claims borisjohnson said he would rather see bodies pile high in their thousands than order a third lockdown. the widening gap in wealth leads on the front of the yorkshire post. and a flat renovation on number ten. a flat renovation on number ten. so let's begin... the metro race to get aid to india. but in sending quite a bit of equipment and. india but in sending quite a bit of equipmentand. india is but in sending quite a bit of equipment and. india is saying he needs help from other countries too. yeah, for me, this is the most important story right now. the race to get aid to india. the sense that perhaps we just waited too long to support and get support to india.

the numbers are truly horrendous. 350,000 cases just on saturday, at least 2700 deaths, there may be more. just watching earlier some pictures of the funeral pyres, tragic, tragic scenes. but help is on the way it would appear. hopefully not too little of ventilators and oxygen i think that really needs to be all of our focus and the focus in terms of international aid right now. fix, international aid right now. a situation where a hearing right now is somebody in delhi is dying every or minutes. there's a black market in oxygen cylinders, unimaginable. yes, the footage that you've been showing _ yes, the footage that you've been showing in— yes, the footage that you've been showing in others have been showing and the _ showing in others have been showing and the pictures are just horrible. i thihk_ and the pictures are just horrible. i think lots— and the pictures are just horrible. i think lots of people fell for what the indian — i think lots of people fell for what the indian government fell for was a

been criticised for coding our prejudices into its products. so it needs to get things right right? people fixing the world has been looking at how you can create facial recognition systems that work for everyone. you know those passport gates at the airport? the you know those passport gates at the airort? , :, ., airport? the thing is for me that often don't _ airport? the thing is for me that often don't work _ airport? the thing is for me that often don't work as _ airport? the thing is for me that often don't work as well - airport? the thing is for me that often don't work as well as i airport? the thing is for me that often don't work as well as they| often don't work as well as they should — often don't work as well as they should. sometimes he could take me 5hould. sometimes he could take me several— 5hould. sometimes he could take me several goe5 before i finally get 5everal goe5 before i finally get through — 5everal goe5 before i finally get through. and sometimes they don't seem _ through. and sometimes they don't seem to _ through. and sometimes they don't seem to work at all. it's a little bit annoying and i'm not sure why it's going — bit annoying and i'm not sure why it's going on or why. at least the issue _ it'5 going on or why. at least the issue at— it's going on or why. at least the issue at the _ it's going on or why. at least the issue at the gates i5n't affecting my livelihood. i travelled to meet

facial recognition is slowly seeping into everything we do. while it can be a convenient way of interacting with tech for some, it has been creating problems for others. you know those passport gates at the airport? well, the thing is for me, they often don't work as well as they should. sometimes it can take me several goes before i finally get through, and sometimes they don't even seem to work at all. it's a little bit annoying and i'm never quite sure what is going on, or why. but at least the issue at the gates is not affecting my livelihood. uber introduced this face—recognition technology. they sent messages out, saying that "occasionally we are going to ask you to take a selfie of yourself". they compare against the profile picture you have got on there. so it is quite dark and i had a cap on and i took a selfie and i got an e—mail about 11 o'clock, saying "your account has been deactivated due to not being recognised. we have chosen to end our partnership with you. i hope you understand this." you know, iwas shocked at the time — i did not know what to do. sahir has since sent dozens of messages to uber eats, and he has got a similar generic response each time. he asked for his case to be

reviewed and whether it would be acceptable if the mcdonald's manager where he usually picks his deliveries up from could vouch for him. he got nowhere. so all of these messages were sent by you? mmm—hmm. and that's the first message that got back? yeah, but as you can see, it's a generic message. uber says it believes the picture provided to its system... ..an assertion sahir denies. when he pleaded with the company to be able to appeal the decision and asked for a review of his file, uber told him the decision was final. five months on, sahir is still waiting for a response to his letter that he sent to holland, where uber�*s appeal team is based. since we have taken on his case, uber has agreed to share the image captured on the night of the incident. so 22 of our members have been dismissed by uber eats for substitution, and that is through a facial recognition software system that uber eats use. of that figure, 12 of them were bame and four of those were from a brazilian—portuguese heritage. we've since spoken to another

union who have said that their members, too, have faced similar issues. so basically, uber launched a new system to check the real—time id. they have blocked my account for — on that time. it's very bad for me because i have no other source of income. in a statement, uber said: these stories show us just how crucial it is to get this right. these systems have got to be robust and they've got to work for everyone. a key part of the problem is often within the data sets these algorithms have been trained on. they are often built from images scraped from the web — images

of celebrities in the media or pictures on social networks. even our data sets predicting a wedding dress will show, you know, the western christian wedding as the prediction for that, because it's very heavily influenced by western media. so as a result of that — of course, western media, it is not very diverse, does not feature people of colour in a lot of tv shows. the problem of doing it this way is no way to the diversity of the people. that's overly white and overly male. so now some companies are hoping that al could solve the problem. using the might of generative adversarial networks. or ganz for short. to see how it works we even embarked on a little experiment. these are the faces of the clique team which we fed

directly into an off the shop ganz software for video. on the right is the image of the person the software already knows. and we are on the left. the algorithm starts by comparing the facial features it knows to the new image that is looking at. after hundreds of iterations it's able to look up what makes that facebook the way it does. at least mathematically, anyway. once we have this digital replica that we could start playing around with different features. we can fiddle with age, ethnicity and mixed faces. but most importantly create people that don't exist at all. this technology is used to create large databases of faces which is then used to trade facial recognition systems. by creating faces in this way isn't eat now. if you want to create something that works and treats everyone more equally the real images you feed into the ganz have to be representative for life.

after all we wouldn't be looking straight into the camera in the real world. this is a photo shoot by generate a photo shoot in the us. a company specialising in a company specialising in creating gan images. it spent several months taking pictures of thousands of people. these models were specifically chosen for their diversity, but they are also being captured doing all sorts of things. so do you think that gans can totally eliminate bias in an area like facial recognition? totally is probably a very strong term, but i think they can mitigate significantly, yes, i think so. i would say that if you do collect more real data,

if you are able to do that, then you should do that. this technique should optimise how these systems work, but what is more important are the people behind the code. the reality is that technology always reflects the biases that exist in society. and just changing facial recognition tools to make them more accurate isn't going to change that. how did it feel back in october when you realised that you were going to lose your livelihood? it was horrible, i can't even explain it. sleepless nights, things were going on in my head. "what am i going to do now, how am i going to survive?" photos ju5t stories like sahir�*s show us just how important it is to have people on the other side that you can easily talk to and reason with. ethical debates around how these technologies are used and deployed need to continue, and life—impacting decisions shouldn't be left to machines alone.

seen barely any rainfall throughout the entire month so far. now this week a return to some scattered showers. we won't all be seeing them, but there is, thankfully, a little bit of rain in the forecast. and things turning a bit colder as well. we've got a small, slow—moving area of low pressure moving in from the north, slowly slipping south over the next few days. so monday morning, then, starts off on a bit of a milder note. particularly for scotland where we've got more cloud. still likely to see a frost across parts of england and wales, particularly in the north. monday morning, then, initially quite a bit of cloud in the south but that will tend to break up so quite a lot of sunshine coming through. there will be more cloud for scotland with some patchy showers heading in and they will be heavier during the course of the afternoon for parts of eastern scotland. one or two into northern england and northern ireland. further south in the sunshine it's also less windy than recent days as well, so we are losing that biting easterly wind. still a bit of an onshore breeze making things cooler around the east coast, but further west temperatures for the likes of cardiff and belfast are up to about 16 degrees on monday. and then as we move through monday night into tuesday this area of low pressure still with us as it

moves its way south we will start to see some showers rotating around that area of low pressure. so hit and miss scattered showers on tuesday, but they will probably avoid east anglia and the southeast where we could really do with a bit of rainfall around. staying quite mild in the south, up to about 16 degrees in the sunshine, but turning colder from the north as the winds start to come in from a northerly direction. just seven degrees or so for aberdeen. into wednesday i think the focus of the showers probably for wales and the southwest of england. fewer showers around elsewhere, perhaps one or two around these east coasts where it is, again, going to feel chilly. just seven degrees for the likes of aberdeen. but could well be 15 or 16 for southern parts of england and wales too. but as low pressure drifts off towards the near continent that's going to open the doors for these cold north or north easterly winds, once again coming down from the arctic. so temperatures in the cold side towards the end of the week for thursday into friday, just about getting into double figures by day but do be prepared if you've got gardening plans, we could well see a return of frosty nights. bye for now.

this is bbc news with the latest headlines for viewers in the uk and around the world. international aid is being sent to india as oxygen shortages drive up the coronavirus death toll. we report from delhi. we've seen body after body being brought in. it's hard for anyone to keep count, but what workers have been telling me is that the real scale of deaths caused by covid—19 in india is a lot higher than what official numbers reflect. the missing indonesian navy submarine is found split into three pieces on the sea floor. this is the scene in los angeles where celebrities are arriving for this year's oscar ceremony. it's scaled down, but still the biggest most glamorous night

of the award season.
