Its a lwa ys will wrap up a little bit. Its always exciting at the start of every test series. Especially in an ashes series. That is all the sports. Now its time for click. This week a phone is born and we are exclusively behind the scenes. Can Artificial Intelligence log the belize. And driving monsters. Just across the water from hong kong, on the chinese mainland, lies a city at the heart of the countrys technological revolution. Welcome back to shenzhen. This is where stuff gets made. When you think of chinas electronic scene, this might be what you think of. Thousands of factories and millions of people mass producing billions of devices. More than 70 of the worlds mobile phones are manufactured in china. Their components, also made locally, or sourced from the citys famous giant electronics market. Where everything is for sale. But all that industry is taking its toll on the city. As the buildings go up to accommodate the influx of businesses, the smog has come down to remind everyone of the price you pay for a rapidly expanding industrial economy. The middle class here is also consuming more power, as well as demanding Something Else good quality home grown products. And Chinese Brands are rising to the challenge, with names like zte, xiaomi and huawei even breaking out of china and becoming recognised and desired worldwide. One such brand is 0neplus. Now, despite only being four years old, its already turned out a number of phones that have been compared favourably to the top end samsungs and iphones. And this week it unveiled a brand new handset, the st, with all the fanfare that a big phone launch gets these days. Are you all excited . The secrecy that surrounds these new phones prelaunch is intense and, lets be honest, its part of the hype. Look, its another black rectangle but as such its really rare to get a look behind the scenes at the design, the manufacture and the launch of a new device. But in shenzhen, two weeks before the unveiling, we were given exclusive access to the inner workings of the production line on the run up to d day. Now im qualified to serve you pastries. They make loads of different types of phones in this factory, so to keep the st as secret from all the other workers, everything happens behind the blue shroud of secrecy. Are you ready . Thank you. Come in. Welcome to production line 27. The phone starts life as just a tiny camera there and then its gradually assembled around this u shaped production line, which means by the time it gets to the end its a fully featured phone, just about there. This is the reason china has come to dominate electronics manufacturing. A ready supply of a disciplined, relatively low cost workforce. Each person here has one uniquejob which requires concentration, speed and precision. A single speck of dust caught in the camera lens and the finish phone will be rejected. What i found most surprising about this is its all people. I would have thought with this kind of High Precision job, these phones would have been built solely by machines, but its pretty much all humans. Each line can produce more than 90 phones an hour. Its exhausting just watching this. Fortunately, the staff get a two hour lunch break and also, suddenly at 3pm. Bell rings this might look weird, but having seen how intense this job is and how much concentration you need, this ten minute eye break is invaluable. I think if i was doing thisjob id just want ten minutes to get my head down and close my eyes and reset my brain too. Wow now, these people are bringing to life a design that has been anguished over, squeezed for efficiency and ultimately compromised to keep costs down. Im meeting with one of the designers to get the inside track on how hes made this black rectangle ever so slightly different from all the others. For every new phone, you come up with lots of different designs, like this. Oh, my word do you think weve achieved peak design now . In the end, these are all physics. We are still making some choices, some sacrifices, in favour of the beauty of the exterior, still a little bit. Such as . Well, such as, actually the best place for this would be leaning directly on the corner. In our design, we have this angle here, so that doesnt allow us to put this directly here. If you could get rid of one part of the phone, to make your camera part better, what would it be . I wont tell. Maybe the shell. Thats the best dancer best answer. Back at the factory, simon would be horrified by what happens to his design. Dramatic screaming this is where an unlucky few phones are pulled off the production line to check extreme tolerance. That breaks my heart. It has not been dropped flat, has it . No. The components will be shaking a little bit. More hard. Elsewhere, other test phones escape that big plunge, but instead are dropped 5,000 times each. Others have their charging ports wiggled and buttons pressed 10,000 times. And then theres the tumble dryer. Only when about 70 of the sample phones start surviving this vigorous testing will a build be deemed successful. For me this is a fascinating look at how a phone is born and now that its being launched this small preproduction line can expand, once the company has an indication of how many orders it will get. And thats the secret. Not to produce more than you can sell. So when 0neplus decided to take on the big brands, which can all afford to fail, it decided to sell its first phone by invitation only. What was the thinking behind that . cause i would have tried to make it as available as possible. So being a Brand New Company and not making such a complicated product as a smartphone and being based here, we didnt really have the opportunity to test the product in all the countries where we sold it and adding to that we didnt know how many phones to make. If you end up having too many phones in your warehouse that you cant sell, its over. With the launch over, 0neplus will nervously await the first reviews and, more importantly, the advance orders. And they will decide whether these people will be joined by hundreds more or not. Welcome to the week kim text. It was the week of the us pop makers boston dynamics showed off this horrifyingly agile backslapping monster. What . Facebook announced it is testing out a trust indicators to help stop fake news. Mary 0gilvie destined for hollywood. Nintendo are in talks with the Animation Studio behind despicable me about bringing the gaming legends to the big screen. Lets hope it goes better than last time. Video games publisher ea was in hot water this week with its star wars battle for two title. To unlock top characters like Luke Skywalker and darth vader, gamers originally had to pay large sums of credits. Register for either with real cash or earned by spending tens of hours playing. Due to complaints, yay initially reduce the number needed by 75 , but has now put a hold on all real world transactions. And finally, in competition with amazon and google, chinese Search Engine giant by do revealed its own voice controlled smart speaker. The raven h has a detachable promoter that comes with an led display. You can see that wherever you are in the room, there isa wherever you are in the room, there is a robotic arm version, too. The uks anti bullying week is now coming to an end, but behind closed doors, computer screens and even smart phones, the bullying that some encounter in the School Playground still lives on after hours. After i did come out, i then received Online Anonymous messages from an account set up to message me, telling me i should kill myself, because obviously they didnt agree with my sexuality. It destroyed me because not only was the bullying happening at school, it had followed me to my home. It followed me to my room, my safe space where i feel happy and i am myself, i suddenly couldnt be any more. Thomas moved schools and went on to become one of facebooks anti bullying ambassadors, a scheme funded by the social network to train up pupils to provide peer to peer support within secondary schools. Its really important to have someone there because its someone they know they can come to as well. And with the ambassadors being their generation, children are more likely to come to us and know that theyre there for them. Because we are their age, we have similar interests so they can come to us much easier. But with so many different places to communicate, the problem is hard to police, hard to monitor and hard to solve, as those at the frontline of dealing with Cyber Bullying attest. 0ur concern is just how awful the things are that people write. Its very sad, but we do regularly see those sorts of comments about everybody hates you, go kill yourself. Those sorts of things, which i cant imagine would happen in a face to face environment. As the big and small players try to overcome the issue, one British Company has big ambitions. They want to get their software on every single childs device before they use it for the first time. Safetonet dont like to refer to their software as parental control because they feel that could put people off. Some of the functions, though, could be considered that. For example, monitoring the amount of time that your children are online and limiting that however you see fit. You can block devices and websites, but it also is planning on upping the game of what these sorts of products can do by adding a bit of Artificial Intelligence. By later this year, its going to be aiming to track the behavioural changes, so they can pre empt any bullying before it actually happens. It aims to understand context, providing triggered alerts for parents, rather than letting them actually spy. One of the ways that we identify when children are trending sad and maybe even depressed is they stop posting selfies of themselves because theyve lost that self confidence. So our software is designed to be able to pick up those trends and recognised, again, theres a change in behavioural patterns. So we are identifying Cyber Bullying, abuse, aggression, sextortion, grooming and other predatory risks. Great if it works, but of course its all really about human behaviour. Culturally we obviously do have an issue that young people believe that you can behave this way online. We need to send a clear message, you dont, and i think it takes all of us to work together, educators, parents and tech companies, to make sure children understand that. So whilst none of the solutions may be foolproof, maybe these ideas together could make Cyber Bullying a lesser problem in the future than it is today. Apple has been massively popular here in china. But that popularity has started to wane and thats mainly thanks to an increase in good quality chinese smartphones. Thats caused a problem for the thousands of Small Businesses here which have become dependent on chinas obsession with iphones. We have spent some time with one of the countrys unofficial genius bar workshops, who have become dependent on apples success. No one waiting. Migrant workers from southern china. Ten yea rs Migrant Workers from southern china. Ten years ago, they moved to beijing tojoin chinas tech ten years ago, they moved to beijing to join chinas tech boom. Ten years ago, they moved to beijing tojoin chinas tech boom. For this family run business, theirfortunes are links to the rise and fall of popularity of the apple iphone. They fix more than 10,000 iphones per year. We can basically fix every problem, big or small. We fix apple products. Our Main Business is to upgrade iphone storage. Lots of customers dont want to change their phone yet but once you upgrade the storage. China and apple have had an on and off relationship. This is the second biggest market for the american text berm. But apple has lost much of its lustre in china. Until recently, the company faced back to back declining sales. It is losing ground to chinese competitors. Other brands has taken certain market share from apple. Thats why apples sales had that great any more. A lot worse than before. One possibility is that its much more expensive than Chinese Brands. At the same time, Chinese Brands. At the same time, Chinese Brands are also made well, good quality. So many People Choose Chinese Brands. This means fewer customers. It is just too expensive. Iphone eight is the same as iphone seven. The only difference is wi reless seven. The only difference is wireless charging. The tony isnt popular. Iphone seven isnt a popular. Iphone seven isnt a popular either. Apple generates 2796 of its profit in china. The launch of its profit in china. The launch of the iphone ten marks a return to growth in the country. But chinese made apps are dominating the market. Apple has struggled to integrate into chinas ecosystem. Many users are now opting for cheaper Chinese Brands. Equipped with high end features. People in cities that have low consumption, a0 cities or cities below, would choose Chinese Brands, cheekbones, mostly. The countryside iam from, cheekbones, mostly. The countryside i am from, people tend to buy low end phones like. I am from, people tend to buy lowend phones like. Apple is still the fifth bestselling phone in china. But now Chinese Brands are aggressively moving into the international market. Aggressively moving into the international marketlj aggressively moving into the international market. I feel some Chinese Brands are selling overseas. For example, those being sold to Foreign Countries which are quite good. Two years ago, china was expected to overtake the us, becoming apples biggest market. Workers are hedging their bets. How big a market share apple is going to ta ke big a market share apple is going to take in china is difficult to predict. If apple can keep its system and its looks at the same time changed to be more attractive to customers, it was all have quite a big market share. No one can live without a phone. So would you work on the phone industry, you will have a market. Even back when china was just known for manufacturing other countrys devices, it was still growing some pretty strong tech brands to serve its own enormous population. This is an app used by nearly 900 Million People here in china. It is a bit like what sap but you can do so much more with that. You can order a taxi, a food delivery, even take part in a spot of dating. But what is amazing is where you might struggle to use a credit card is here, even the smallest shops will accept payments through this act, even when they dont take cash. This is the easiest peer to peer Payment System i think i have seen. To pay someone else, you just get the app to generate a qr code which the other person scans. The money is transferred from your account of errors. Behind the app is one of chinas biggest tech companies. Probably the Biggest Company that you have never heard of. Just like facebook, google and the like in the west, 10 cents is racing to develop ways to make sense and make use of all the interactions, words and pictures that are shared on the Service Every second. The brand new Artificial Intelligence lab here in change and is full of young minds trying to apply Machine Learning research to understanding images. And theyre coming up with similar results to those we have seen previously from companies in the west. Here is an app that is learning how to identify different objects in a picture. At the moment is, just rectangular books. But here is one which tries to work out what you are wearing a presumably so it can sell you more of the same. As soon as you can isolate objects within the image, you can give them special treatment. That could be for the novelty reasons, and the like what we see is nacho do, orfor more reasons, and the like what we see is nacho do, or for more useful things like intelligently applying different effects to different art of the image, only to darken the background and light on the subject. Ina background and light on the subject. In a video chat, it is bases that are surely the most important parts of the picture. I spotting and isolating them, they can be turned into 3 d models which might form your avatar for times when the video link wont work. In fact, they are working on the whole body here, identifying limbs and joints which can also form part of a 3 d reconstruction. Just dont ask to see the raw data. Delightful. For times when the video is not clear it is too compressed, here is some work to increase the resolution. Adding backin to increase the resolution. Adding back in missing detail i looking for clues of what was lost over several frames of video. But this lab aims to go further than just understanding the images on our social leaves. Before the playing was invented, people couldnt imaginea time was invented, people couldnt imagine a time where humans could fly. 0nly imagine a time where humans could fly. Only after its invention, we now understand that it is possible. The same needs to happen with al will stop inside of improving efficiency of what we do today, we need a big breakthrough that will go beyond our imagination. Need a big breakthrough that will go beyond our imaginationm need a big breakthrough that will go beyond our imagination. If nothing else has impressed you, then here is a new feature which will analyse your photos, write a description of them and then wrapped them. Yes, wrap them. Words, to your mother. It seems that 10 cents is working really ha rd to seems that 10 cents is working really hard to catch up with the west, exploring als applications in lots of areas at once. These lunchtime power naps are commonplace here in china. And probably necessary to enable workers to keep working late into the evening. They will certainly need a loss of energy, because 10 cents is trying to break out of china. It has bought a stake in stature, and also in has love. Which is itself working happily on Image Processing to help its fleet of semi Autonomous Cars you understand the world around them. And by notjust talking about semi Autonomous Cars, no, it has let now has a new track. Here is david lee in los angeles. Youve really got to hand it to elon musk, when people were telling him he cant do something or that hes doing too much, what does he do . He goes and launches an enormous electric truck. Here it is. The tesla semi. He says it will go 500 miles on a single charge. Carrying the heaviest loads allowed on us roads, it will do zero mph in 20 seconds. The thing that looks like its not moving. Is a diesel truck. As you might expect, it comes filled with a host of tesla technology, including autonomy. This thing will change lanes on its own. Now ladies will track is twice as expensive as a tesla semi. If you move from diesel to electricity, which is significantly cheaper, those costs will be the big youtube and these tracks the paper themselves in a couple of years in derry. 0ther themselves in a couple of years in derry. Other companies are trying to pull off the literature. Cummins is a truck firm that has been around for more than 100 years. It unveiled its own electric truck recently. But that one only has a range of 100 miles per charge. Of no interest to any serious trucker. In classic steve jobs style, elon any serious trucker. In classic stevejobs style, elon musk any serious trucker. In classic steve jobs style, elon musk and any serious trucker. In classic stevejobs style, elon musk and one more thing for the tesla faithful. The tesla plans you can here today certainly expected to see a lorry. But they werent exciting to see was a new roaster, and that certainly got this energetic crowd extremely excited. The bad news for tesla fans is that the roadster wont be on the road until 20 20. And thats it from china for the moment. There is absolutely no doubt that we will be back here is too soon. In the meantime, you can catch all the backstage fun and photos on facebook and twitter. Axl watching. We will see you soon. No great rush about the weather for saturday. There is a lot of wind across the north east of scotland, some showers here. A lot of dry weather across northern parts of britain. Averages in single figures. Cloudy and miles across the south. The prospects for a son at least. That prospect dragging its way towards the south west. Elsewhere, as the skies begin to clear, it ends up as the skies begin to clear, it ends up being quite a frosty night. Down to a. Up being quite a frosty night. Down to a. At up being quite a frosty night. Down to a. At least that gives the prospect of dry and fine, settled weather to start the new day. But the sunshine in central and eastern parts. Through the day, eventually there will be rain will western scotland, northern ireland, maybe the north west of england, four north wales. Despite the sunshine, five to 7 degrees in the east. The problem is pushing mild air into cult stuff across the heart of scotland, said could be some snow elsewhere. A mild started the week. Good afternoon. Tens of thousands of people have taken to the streets of harare in zimbabwe calling for the resignation of president robert mugabe. Hes been under house arrest apart from one public appearance yesterday since the army seized power on wednesday. 0ur senior africa correspondent, anne soy, reports from harare. This is not the typical coup, its more like a carnival. Zimbabweans here are already celebrating the end of president Robert Mugabes rule. This is an unprecedented show of defiance against the strong man
