now on bbc news, click. welcome back to las vegas. this week we are _ welcome back to las vegas. this week we are bringing you more. now, this place is a tourist hot spot. it attracts travellers from all over the world because it's unique. the architecture is quite something. it's got the sunny skies and if you want to party, well, there's nowhere like vegas. there certainly isn't! but the way people visit these places may be changing. and paul carter has taken a trip into the future.

paul: las vegas welcomes over a0 million visitors every year. that's over 110,000 people every single day. and all of those travellers need somewhere to rest their weary heads after experiencing everything this city of excess has to offer. as well as the home of ces, las vegas is the city of hotels. there are more hotel rooms in this city than anywhere else on earth. so where better for a new property that's powered entirely by ai? and i'm here to check it out. 0tonomus is a new hotel just a few minutes away from the las vegas strip, and its founders claim it's the first true ai—powered hotel in the world. in reality, many hotels are now integrating ai into their operations. but the team behind 0tonomus say their hotel has it baked into every aspect of a guest's stay, from the ground up. for us, ai is not

for the sake of ai. it's really using technology to bring back something timeless, which is human connection, right? ironically, using advanced systems to provide the simplest, most beautiful feeling, which is feeling that somebody truly understands you, right? and that's the power of ai for us. once your reservation is made, the hotel will begin gathering as much information about you as it can. it will ask a series of questions about your preferences, and will also scrape the internet and social media sites for information on you, using that data to personalise your stay and build a digital avatar. as with many modern hotels, guests will be able to check in and access their rooms without any human interaction. so this is the check—in process and it's all handled through the phone. so ijust need to complete it on here and do a little bit

of identification verification first, which i'm just filling in now. and from there, ijust need to scan my face to prove that it's me. there we go. and we're done. 0k... and i'm in. the hotel also features what it calls an e—butler system, whereby everything from room service to fresh towels can be delivered to the guest via the room panel or a smartphone without the need to speak to or even see a member of staff. featuring one—bed rooms up to six—bedroom suites,

that is unlocked. here are my nice clean towels. they have a combination of rooms, depending on the customer. this is one single apartment, but we have booked the apartment next door and the system knows that we have both apartments and unlocks this interconnecting door so i can walk through to the next one. of course many of these features already exist in different hotels. but what the team here say they are trying to do is combine the services

and more and bring all of the data together to build a complete digital profile. they say this will allow them to customary aspect of the stay. but will people be comfortable with the hotel knowing every aspect of their personality? the guest is in full control of all the data, so first, they can opt out of the data from the first second, or they can opt out of the data at any time during the journey. but, also, you can go back and delete all the data that you want. so we're only a custodian of the data, and the guest is in full control of all that data. the purpose for us is strictly and simply to offer a better stay. and with so many hotels concentrated in one place, why choose las vegas to launch such a concept? what's a better place to launch a hospitality concept from las vegas, you know? the heart and the epicentre of hospitality, globally,

and especially when you have a layer of tech and you have the ceo of the biggest technology show in the world here in vegas, so everything comes together. that's the right place for me to go head—to—head against 200,000—plus rooms with a unique product that we're offering that hotel basically cannot offer. so if we make it in vegas, which we will, we're going to make it globally. and that's a proof, a very powerful proof of concept and that's why las vegas for me is the right and special place to launch it. smart glasses are often touted as the next step

i've got a pair for the sun here. they also come with clear lenses. their main aim being to create content, so you've got cameras here that can film and microphones in them. they can also be used as audio sunglasses if you want to listen to music, or if you want to have a chat with someone on the phone. but new features are coming soon and they're all based around ai. first up, it's time to translate a book from spanish to english. hey, meta, translate this book. nojoy at first. i wonder if it's cos i keep looking at the camera. let's try again. hey, meta, translate this book. it thinks it's a blank book. holding it up in front of my face mightjust do it. hey, meta. translate this book. electronic voice: for a moment, the cameras are stuck— on peter's downturned gaze while everyone assimilates what he just said. it's reading it like an audiobook. may have been a glitchy start, but this is great. you can also just keep the ai function on for half an hour and do all sorts of things. hey, meta, tell me

what's in front of me. in front of me is a person — that's yasmin filming — two chairs, some things on the table, including some promotional material, which is a ces magazine. that was seriously impressive. and the sound quality was absolutely amazing too. there are three to four hours' battery life available on them, but the case also charges them. it can give you an extra three charges throughout the day. halliday�*s glasses have a different focus. i've actually got a screen in my field of view over there, which allows me to read words. so it can translate, it can help me answer questions if i'm having a conversation to make me sound really clever, because it connects via your phone to the internet. to control what function you're using, you can either swipe the side or, through this ring, there's a little touchpad on the back, and so you can scroll up and down. now, i'm going to put

it to the test with a spot of translation. so you're going to speak in mandarin and i'm hopefully going to see the words come up here in english. he speaks mandarin it seems to be a bit behind and the screen keeps going off. he speaks mandarin "i'm talking to you in chinese right now. "can you hear what i'm saying?" i can not only hear it, i can understand it. how's the battery life? the battery life lasts longer than 12 hours... oh, wow. ..so you can use it for an entire day. that would be a very long conversation. there were some challenges with internet connection and noise on the show floor, but even when the projected screen worked well, it never really felt comfortable to look at. a proof of concept, yes, but a perfected experience? not quite. now, most glasses are meant to aid your eyes. but how about your ears? there are many people who could benefit from wearing a hearing aid, but they don't, sometimes because they simply don't want it to show. so, how about an invisible solution that can be combined with a pair of glasses?

these are the nuance audio smart glasses, which also have speakers on the side, but this time, to amplify all the sound around or boost people's voices. the accompanying smartphone app allows you to choose the right settings for your environment. let me demonstrate. what did you have for breakfast this morning? i got some eggs and a cappuccino. now, that sounded louder to me whilst the background noise didn't, and that's because there are directional microphones so whatever i'm looking at is what i'm going to hear louder. now, the sound quality is really clear. it can be a little bit tinny, but we are in quite a difficult environment here in the middle of the show floor. the fact is they do isolate the voice, they do make it louder, and they do what they say on the tin. smart glasses can clearly provide an array of benefits — perhaps some you never even knew you wanted. chamelo's glasses are all about colour change, so this pair can be worn

with lenses or you can have a sunglass version, and byjust tapping the side, you change the colour of the glass. pink. . . blue. ..orange. ..clear. so whatever the weather conditions are or whatever you're getting up to, you can make it appropriate. and there is a microphone and speakers and you can adjust the brightness. if you're in bright light, you move it and the lenses become darker. when things get darker, there you 90, things get darker, there you go, you can see better. as the early days of tech trends go, some of them seem impressively up to the job already, whilst others feel like an early generation of an idea to be built upon.

shows the centre of the low pressure, but i want to draw your attention to what is happening here. we can see this hook of cloud developing and we may see another small scale area of low pressure forming and that would bring strong winds overnight tonight. but it is windy through the afternoon. a band of rain pushing north. some very heavy thundery showers following on behind. as we get into this evening there is still even at this short range some uncertainty in the forecast. the centre of the low pressure will be to the west of us. but some compute irmodels allow this separate and small scale area to develop and bring heavy rain and flooding. but we could see a swathe of very strong winds up to 80mph. but there is uncertainty about where that feature may track

its way northwards across england and wales. we may see some wet and blustery weather in eastern scotland tomorrow morning and that could give some significant snow over high ground. tomorrow, this band of heavy rain will move north. that could some snow mixed in. a lot of showers to the south. another windy day, the strong winds, gusts up to 70mph in the south and west of the uk. temperatures probably the least of our worries, six to nine degrees. that area of low pressure will track eastwards into tuesday. that low weakening and filling somewhat. tuesday won't be as windy, but still some showers or some longer spells of rain. we could see some wet weather in the south on wednesday. it turns calmer for the end of the week.

live from london. this is bbc news.

the palestinian militant group islamichhad has told the bbc it will free israeli civilian hostage arbel yehud — on friday — in exchange for the release of 30 palestinian prisoners. for the release of 30 it could pave the way for israel to allow tens of thousands of palestinians to return to their homes in northern gaza — where many have been waiting since saturday. president trump says he'd like arab nations to take in a million and a half gazans — calling the strip "a demolition site" where "something needs to happen". i would like egypt and jordan to take people, you are talking about probably 1.5 million people and we just clean out that whole thing. lebanon accuses israeli soldiers of firing at residents trying to return to their homes. officials say at least 22 people have been killed. chancellor rachel reeves hints a third runway at london's heathrow airport could get government
