Control over, into this experience that you can control, so you get power and it loses power. Experts say the trial, published in the lancet psychiatry, is impressive, but add that patients will still need to take medication. This treatment is specifically designed for those with treatment resistant auditory verbal hallucinations, or voices, so you wouldnt be looking to provide it routinely, i guess unless patients particularly wanted this kind of approach. The other rider to consider here is that its quite a high tech approach which, thus far, is only available in a couple of centres in the uk. Making an avatar of your imaginary voices is still an experimental therapy. Further trials are now needed to see if it could become a powerful new way of treating schizophrenia. James gallagher, bbc news. Now on bbc news, its time for click. This week fighting fires. Naked navigation. And a real life rocketeer. On click we often look out for technology which can help save peoples lives. For example, we went toa peoples lives. For example, we went to a wonder to look at how drones we re to a wonder to look at how drones were speeding up deliveries of blood and recently closer to home, i looked at how the response times of the airambulance in looked at how the response times of the air ambulance in london were being improved by better connectivity. If you live in the developed world, you will probably take it for granted that you can dial the emergency number, someone granted that you can dial the emergency number, someone will a nswer emergency number, someone will answer and help will arrive. Well, in kenya, thats not the case. In the capital, nairobi, alone, there are more than 50 different numbers for different ambulance and as is and if you need a fire engine, well, thats at least a dozen more, and even then there is no guarantee theyll be able to get to you. Well, kate russell has been to meet a couple of entrepreneurs who have had the great idea of amalgamating them all into one service. Think uber for Emergency Services. For most living in a modern metropolis, calling an ambulance involves dialling a single short code. But in a city more than 6 million people, nairobi has no functioning Central Emergency number. With five Public Hospitals and dozens of private hospitals and clinics all operating independently, you have to know who to call if you need an ambulance here and hope that theres someone on duty to pick up. Caitlin and maria run a start up in nairobi hoping to address this problem. You just take for granted 9 11 call exists and we did as well, both of us had lived here for years and we never even considered it and wed worked in health and i never even thought what i would do in an emergency. Wejust even thought what i would do in an emergency. We just outed asking people, have you seen an ambulance before, who has an ambulance . We would go and meet and find ambulances in parking lots and we started a really simple tally of how many ambulances we could find. We realised there were so many ambulances and nobody has any idea where they are. Claires aim is to connect Emergency Response vehicles on an uber style platform that can route calls to an operator that can get their quickest. When the call comes in i get to know the patients location, i click on the location. We see all the vehicles that are within my range. I can select our service, which is six minutes away. Lets click on the Ambulance Service on going to dispatch, it gives me the Contact Number and their location and the estimated time. It also gives me the direction route for them. So youve been using this situation, system through states of emergency, for example the first elections. For example we used it for the election of 2017, and we also had a backup for the radios. We had the Emergency Services covering all the Emergency Services. Sorry, sorry . Layer, emergency a busy city hospital, we left patrick to his work and headed out onto the streets to see first hand the traffic problems that make this kind of operator routeing a lifesaver. This was especially important when violence broke out during the october elections. Flairs ambulances were 33 busier attending to emergencies in these hotspots. The response times weve seen have gone down from 162 minutes, which is the average, which is nearly three hours, which is insane, to about 15 to 20 minutes. So far the platform has 30 ambulances online with a goal to reach at least 50 by the end of january next year. An annual membership fee gives patients access to the emergency hotline and covers the cost of any callouts, which otherwise would have had to be paid by credit card before an ambulance is dispatched. The fee is currently around 15 but flare say this might change as the service mature is. Eventually flare wants to add more concierge style features for its members, like real time updates and treatment information. The data being collected might also prove useful to help co ordinate Better Service across the city. One of the things we recently learned is theres a lack of ambulances between 7am and 9am and the reason for that is that the 19 is handing over to the date team so all providers are doing that should change, so theres a delay in that happening so then there arent enough ambulances online to respond to the emergencies. You can use that information and go to all the providers and maybe stagger your times . Word completely, or make the handover process more sufficient that doesnt even occur. Fire means even bigger problems for emergency callouts in nairobi. As well as the fractured Co Ordination issues seen with ambulances, theres a desperate, desperate shortage of trucks and Water Supplies. Tragedies like this in nairobis last clothes market are all too common and often left burning for much longer than they should be because of a simple lack of access to resources. 999 goes deck directly to the police headquarters, the Police Control room. Once you call the Police Control room they start looking for the nearest Ambulance Service medal the nearest Ambulance Service medal the nearest Ambulance Service medal the nearest fire service. Theres no radio linkage anywhere. The phones they have belong to individuals. The fire and Ambulance Service are controlled separately by different players. Ict fire and rescue is the first byjo players. Ict fire and rescue is the first by jo firefighting players. Ict fire and rescue is the first byjo Firefighting School of its kind in kenya. I went to visit them and got to try out some training. Flare is working within the school to add as many firetrucks as possible to their nairobi coverage, as well as locating public and private Water Supplies to add to the map. There are another hydrants in nairobi theoretically, they were planned for, but a lot of them hydra nts planned for, but a lot of them hydrants have been built on top of so we are serving nairobi to see where their publicly available hydra nts where their publicly available hydrants and where their private hydra nts a re hydrants and where their private hydrants are that we can actually tap into. At this stage its unclear how the membership funding model will play out for fire cover has callout costs could be radically higher and more variable than ambulance work. Flare has high hopes of becoming the 9 11 call equivalent for the whole of kenya the future. Kate russell in nairobi solving a problem that really need solving. I have to say thats not always the case in the world of technology, ta ke case in the world of technology, take for example smart cities, which we havent really proved we actually need so far. But authorities in canada have teamed up with a massive tech name to develop a smart neighbourhood that it says will massively improve sustainability and affordability. Paul carter has been to toronto to find out more about googles grand designs. Googles grand designs. Googles Parent Company alphabet has its fingers in many technological pies, from home information, automation, search, Life Sciences and Autonomous Vehicles but now the company has an even bigger idea, it wa nts to company has an even bigger idea, it wants to build a whole new city. Well, sort of. Authorities in canadas largest city, toronto, has announced a partnership with googles they will make to design a new waterfront area known as quayside. They say they want to see a city built from the internet up. What does that look like . Streets will come alive with the vitality we expect from sort of the greatest urban environments in a way that has never actually been seen before. The plans include modular buildings that will automatically adapt to wind and rain. Robot delivery services, underground rubbish disposal trains, heated roads to melt the snow, digital navigation systems, smart traffic, self driving buses. So far, so jetsons, but will any war blair people actually be able to afford to live their . Whats really interesting when use it down with this and more people through it is a big part of what they want to do and a big part of these advertisements they present for themselves is this will lower the cost of living. Theyre trying to find ways to reduce your cost of mobility, so for example you dont actually have to have a car at all. These plans also rely on data and lots of it. Sensors in all aspects of the development, buildings, roads, open spaces, will measure how and when people use the environment. In a week when it was revealed android phones were sending location data back to google, should people be concerned about their privacy . They have a profit motive and a Business Purpose for existence that you have to make sure at all times you safeguard the Public Interest and thats ourjob on everything we do. They made it very clear that even though they are part of the alphabet, alphabet organisation, which includes other technologies, like their driverless car autonomous vehicle, they are under no pressure or no directive from alphabet to have to use their technology. They believe that to fulfil their objectives they want to get the best in class, the most Innovative Technologies wherever they may be. By the waterfront technology, toronto and the lads have a year to thrash out the finer details of the plan. Any time you do anything complicated, was deputy mayor of new york for the six years after 9 11 , mayor of new york for the six years after 9 11, my response included rebuilding the World Trade Center site, youre never going to get unanimity, but thats what the democratic process is all about, about putting ideas out there, getting feedback, adjusting them and ultimately hopefully winning over enough people that you can move forward. At the moment this smart city of the future exists only in drawings and documents. City planners and technologists from around the world will be watching with interest to see if googles grand plans ever make it from concept to construction. Hello and welcome to the week in tech. It was the week that us prosecutors charged an iranian man with hacking into hbo, leaking scripts for everyones favourite tv show, game of thrones and demanding over £4 million in ransom. Elsewhere, skype disappeared from app stores in china after the government said it did not comply with the local law. The long running Net Neutrality debate took another turn this week as us regulators rolled back the laws that were brought in under president obama. The chairman of the federal Communications Commission said the changes would stop the federal government micromanaging the internet. Critics argue the changes could lead to unequal access to the internet. And humans and machine have once again been pitted against each other, this time in the battle of the drone pilots.

Thats all fine before it gets fed up and goes on strike, citing an inhospitable working environment. Earlier in the show we saw how are the city can be built from the ground up but you still need to be able to find your way around it. Ive been looking at some of the latest augmented reality to help but first, only to go and find the man who all about it. Who knows. But he is not the only person i am meeting. Step is a way of finding out that uses the scantily clad character to guide you to your designated destination. It is doing so by combining a, geolocation data, and mapping, and while it is not the only app to overlay on the real world, it has a unique character. He is dancing. As people are across the in the pub. You must be loop. Lara, good to meet you. Why am i following this man around . What is he look bike this . After the year we have had in 2017 think we needed some humour so had in 2017 think we needed some humoursoi had in 2017 think we needed some humour so i wanted to make it more interesting to get from a to b. Were lots of at such bare, bible people use this. What the people find maps on the phone is quite complicated to use. We have also put in gigantic 3d use. We have also put in gigantic 3 d arrows at the end of the roads you can follow him and see from the arose where you want to go. Or are some challenges, we dont actually know where a road begins and the pavement stops we have the kind of do our best to calculate where we think it is and to make a look as believable as possible, what we do is try to find out where we think you are, what the weather is like where you are, if it is funny or cloudy and then specifically, the location of the sun and if we can work out where the sun is, we can work out where the sun is, we can work out where his shadow should be naturally. But when you are not having fun on foot then maybe you are trying to find a place to leave your car. They are measuring air measure, a prototype function, to help up our role park. Not something you would want any inaccuracy on. In the meantime, it can be used for measuring furniture, creating a floor plan, or seeing how tall you are. But if you are more focused on finding your way around and have taken a shine to hot up, dont lose your friend taken a shine to hot up, dont lose yourfriend or you taken a shine to hot up, dont lose your friend or you may lose taken a shine to hot up, dont lose yourfriend or you may lose your way. Ok, you cannot miss the rope at where has my men gone . Where is he . The way we talk online has changed in the last decade and im not talking about the rise of social Networks Like facebook and twitter but even bigger explosion in mobile messaging apps like whatsapp, we chat and line. Since 2014 we have been using them even more than the big social networks. And with all of those people spending all of that time chatting, rather than browsing, it is not surprising that companies are desperate to talk to us too. And ican are desperate to talk to us too. And i can only mean one thing box. Chat box. And plenty of them. Modern bots promised to connect to us and understand us in more ways than ever before and that means we could potentially do more than just sallust stuff. For example, they may even change lives. Baguley has been looking at a unique project in seattle which is using chucked bots using women working in the sex industry to stay safe. This is a avenue, north seattle, a long, straight road full of liquor stores, worn out car dealerships, and cheap motels. It is known as one of the trucks in the area and that means it isa trucks in the area and that means it is a popular place where women would come and be involved in street prostitution and men come to basically drive up and solicits sex. As day passes into night, we see only a handful of working women nearby. Just because the street isnt as busy as it perhaps once was doesnt mean this business has gone away and in fact it is quite the opposite. The scale of the job to save these women who are now behind closed doors is incredibly overwhelming. Like just about every business you can think of, the sex trade is now almost completely online. How would buy it with things and websites which did little to prevent abuses. It makes the women caught up in this dark world much more invisible than ever before. Caught up in this dark world much more invisible than ever beforelj was in the life of ten years, i had a pimp, it was violent, i have a quota i had to meet every day, and ifi quota i had to meet every day, and if i didnt make the quota, there we re if i didnt make the quota, there were punishments. I stayed sometimes in hotels for weeks, months at a time, the same room, not leaving, maybe just a time, the same room, not leaving, maybejust a smoke time, the same room, not leaving, maybe just a smoke a cigarette or go to the vending machine to get a snack. Those four walls and i remember the tv playing just there was noise going, right . I do remember sitting in there and thinking the whole world had forgotten about me. And what would have shifted if i have looked down on my phone and someone would have said hague, this is jackie, on my phone and someone would have said hague, this isjackie, i on my phone and someone would have said hague, this is jackie, i used to be in the life. I have resources, do you want to chat . Real escape from the sex trade or rest is a group that seeks out and helps women trapped in the sex industry. This is a centre for those taken out of the life, it is temporary, safe accommodation. The organisation is backing a new initiative developed with the help of microsoft that uses Chatbot Technology to intercept anyone considering buying sex. The tea m pla ces anyone considering buying sex. The tea m places fa ke anyone considering buying sex. The team places fake sex ads on popular sites that when a potential customer text the number seeking to buy, it isa text the number seeking to buy, it is a chatbot that replies. In this case we have set up the bot so it is a 15 year old victim. Case we have set up the bot so it is a 15yearold victim. This is asking me questions and how old am i, 100 per hour, what service are you looking for. We work with survivors of trafficking to ask them how a conversation like this go . What would you say . What are the tipoff that this would maybe not be a bot brutal Law Enforcement officer. It is told you it is 15, how does that sound . Is told you it is 15, how does that sound . Thats where is told you it is 15, how does that sound . Thats where the hammer drops. Wow it is a really shocking feeling. Somebody who thinks they are anonymous and can go when the internet and buy another human being, it is a wake up call. Internet and buy another human being, it is a wakeup call. The bot isnt being used to arrest people. Instead it is intended to work as a deterrent. Similar Artificial Intelligence technology is being used to scrape websites and rich women who may be need help. Outreach comes via a text message, something thatis comes via a text message, something that is much easier to hide from a pimp and talking to a Charity Worker in the street. With text outreach, we can reach so many more individuals on this phone numbers that we are pulling from online ads and when a girl gets a text message, she can respond to it in a time and a place that is safer to do so. Impressed with what theyve seen so far, Law Enforcement agencies in seattle are now using the technology that encouraging results. There are thousands of buyers on my day or night and were we post a fake at posing as a person involved in prostitution we will get 250 responses in two hours and there is no way that Law Enforcement has the capacity to respond. A chatbot allows us to do it with and deter allows us to do it with and deter all of those buyers online at any time. Weve never able to do that. Yet this issue needs a more permanent solution to stop websites being used to sell sex. That is what is being worked on here at the us senate. It is time to say no more. New anti sex trafficking measures have button bipartisan support it at suntec companies have raised concerns that the new rules could be too broad. While Tech Companies and legislators iron out the detail, amanda s work saving women continues daily. Just yesterday i had a young woman come up to me he was living in a Residential Programme and she is like amanda, i have a car, a licence, insurance. Like, insurance, legit. Those of the moments that make it more worthwhile and less overwhelming because we know we are making a difference. Whenjames know we are making a difference. When james bond know we are making a difference. Whenjames bond used a jet pack to escape the bad guys in thunder ball, the world with jet pack mad. But the us military designed bel rocket belts that he used was later scrapped due to its high price and limited flight time. Almost 60 years on, Science Fiction is finally becoming science fact. Several companies and even individuals around the world have taken to the skies in recent years to show off their version of a jetpack. And recently, i was invited to strap myself into one. Fortunately, this was only in vr. Ok, here we go, we are going up. Ok the real thing has been built and tested by new Zealand Company martin aircraft which is now being bought by the chinese Science Company quang chi. Typically, it isnt a jet pack, its liftoff using two ducted fans which are powered by a petrol engine. It is still in testing but the team hopes that by the time it is ready, it will be able to fly as fast as 40 kilometres an houratan able to fly as fast as 40 kilometres an hour at an altitude of 2. 5 thousand feet. At a single tank, it should last for about 30 minutes covering distances of 20 kilometres, carrying about 100 kilos. And the company says it will be used for far more thanjust company says it will be used for far more than just fulfilling the dream of human flight. Collation macro what can we do if there are people stranded in a high rise fire . This chip that can reach places were helicopter cannot. Helicopter requires space that with a jet pack eking get very near and toes the fire down. Translation . Martin aircraft has been developing Flight Technology for over three decades and previously thought it would start selling these by last year. Now, the Company Hopes the chinese financial boost will finally be enough to get off the ground. Back at my vr demonstration i am starting to realise i may be may not be the idealjet pack pilot. It is quite enough from arthur this week but there is plenty more happening on facebook and twitter. Thank you for watching and we will see you soon. Hello, there. Its going to be cold this weekend, thats for sure, but many places will stay dry and see plenty of sunshine, so if you wrap up it wont be that bad. Plenty of showers in the north and west. Certainly overnight plenty of showers in the north west of the uk, with wintriness mixed in, some cumulating snow over the hills, which will lead to an ice problem in many northern and Western Areas to start saturday. A cold and frosty start. The wind will be a feature on saturday. That will make it feel colder than it actually is, and there will be plenty of showers to start saturday morning. Even longer spells of rain perhaps in the north and north east of scotland. Gale force winds as well. Wintry showers into Northern Ireland and down on the north west england. Snow again on the hills. Some of these showers running through the cheshire gap and into the midlands already at 9am on saturday morning. Plenty of sunshine in the east and south east, but still a few showers into west wales, cornwall and devon, so you get the picture. It will be a cold start, but some areas seeing lots of sunshine. Central, southern and eastern parts will stay dry all day. Lots of sunshine where showers continue in the northern and Western Areas, again with snow on the hills. Quite blustery as well, with the strong winds. Values of 3 7 celsius. Add on the wind and it will feel even colder than that. But at least you have the sunshine to compensate further south and east. Thats the area of low pressure bringing the Gale Force Winds to the far north east of the uk. That slowly moves away and we start to see the influence of this High Pressure from the west. Then the weather system moves in during sunday night. It looks like with that influence of High Pressure the showers will ease down somewhat. Fewer showers in Western Areas on sunday. Wintriness over high ground, but emphasis on dry and bright weather in northern, central and eastern areas before things turn cloudy across the west. There is the arrival of the weather system. Another cold day on sunday. This weather system is moving across the uk on sunday night and by monday morning it will be across southern and eastern part of the uk. A brief surge of milder weather with the rain as it runs across southern areas. Behind it, though, sunshine and showers follow on, again turning colder as arctic air pushes down. Double figure values for a time on monday morning. The orange colours move away and then a surge of arctic air returns across the uk pretty much throughout the rest of the week.
