Where theres no such thing as too much. This city has spent more than a decade making a name for itself for the outrageous buildings that its created. But now it seems it wants to be known for technology too. A while ago, i paid it a visit during its drones for good challenge and met some of the local innovators who dubai hopes will contribute to its new tech power image. But drones are not the only thing is taking to the skies. This hover bike designed for the police force may one day be whizzing Police Officers to the scene of a crime. Copper chopper anyone . The officers can be using the hover bikes across the city to provide the service in the right spot and even a fast response. And these werent the only high tech additions to the force. Back in may, the dubai police got some new recruits and these werent your ordinary newcomers, these guys were made of the hard stuff, and kate russell went to meet them. Like so much of dubais over the top ambition, the police force wants to be seen to be using the latest crime prediction and Surveillance Technology to watch over the people. We have our cameras, our drones, our remotes. We are going to live in a Science Fiction movie. Artificial intelligence based predictive crime systems, autonomous patrol vehicles and unmanned police stations are just a few of their futuristic initiatives. Robot i am a humanoid service robot. Planned to be built in all of dubais neighbourhoods are the worlds first smart police stations, which will be completely unstaffed. Citizens can pop in for a safe driving lesson, a quick coffee or even to report crimes. They can also meet dubais own robocop. I am the latest incorporation into dubais police department. But unlike the movies. Hello. Hell kill you with kindness. You have really pretty eyes. I think im getting hit on by a robot do you think im beautiful . Yes. I love talking with you. Thank you. You are absolutely astoundingly gorgeous, but its the least interesting thing about you. Myer sensors detect the paparazzi among us. Guess who it is . Its him. Flirting aside, the head of Artificial Intelligence for dubai police sees the future with al and robotics very much at its heart. Behind it is the Artificial Intelligence, so it can see you, it has a facial recognition so it can identify the person in front of them and send all the live feed to the command and control system. We have a project what we call the dubai eye where we have integrated all the cctv cameras across the city, and on top of that were going to build smart system where it has a facial recognition. Its so difficult to monitor more than 10,000 cameras in the city, so we have an Intelligence System that can analyse live feeds from those cameras and it can also predict also and identify all kinds of activities, especially the ones of people. Although this unmanned facility currently still needs a human on Conference Call when it comes to reporting a crime. So i would like report a crime. There is a robot here and hes stolen my heart. Hes stolen your card . My heart. Your heart weve recently seen chicago pds crime predicting algorithms and now dubais police are turning their focus to preventing crimes before they even happen. This application analyses past crime and tries to predict where and when the next crime in that zone could happen in the future. Another one of the Smart Services offered to citizens in dubai is the ability to register if you have a history of cardiovascular problems. You can see on the map there represented by hearts. Now, this means that when an ambulance is called it will instantly know that it could be attending a heart attack victim, and they say that this has allowed them to reduce the number of fatalities by more than 50 . Thats an impressive statistic, but is this widespread surveillance reminding anyone else of a certain sci fi film . People are going to equate this to minority report, what kind of protocols do you have in place to make sure the data is used in ethical ways in the future . We dont predict who would commit a crime, we predict where it could happen and when it could happen, so we can prevent it and reduce the rate for the crimes. With one in three crimes being successfully predicted this time last year, the benefits of using Artificial Intelligence are, well, predictable. Whats more surprising is that the drone team here in dubai would like to see it taken even further. They believe they can use drones to spot a potential criminal like so many of dubais big plans, all this stuff seems to have one foot in ambitious reality and the other in well intentioned fa ntasy. Its a place worth keeping an eye on, though, and you can be very sure theyll be keeping an eye on us. Now, fashion week season is upon us. New york next week will kickstart the most important month in a fashionistas calendar, as i well know. But there is a group of people who do not see themselves reflected zero people with disabilities. London fashion week last year made some progress when two disabled models opened the show for one of the designers. Now a new york Fashion School is hoping to continue that, combining tech and fashion by designing bespoke clothes for people with disabilities. Paul carter paid them a visit. Buying clothes is something most people take the granted. You like the look of it, you try it on, you buy it. But what if your choices are much more limited because of an impairment or disability . Ive come to a fashion lab here in new york who are using tech to make fashion more accessible. 0pen style lab was is a non proft organisation in new york established to make clothing for disabled people which is both functional and fashionable. Operating in partnership with Parsons School of design, they have combined with many to solve these problems. Our goal is to make style accessible for people with many abilities. Disability, injury or facing ageing. By 2025, through design and technology. A year ago i was looking for a coat i could put on without the use of my arms. Seven years ago, my arms became paralysed and i needed a coat for the brutal new york city winters. I was one of the participants in open style lab for a semester and i fell in love with open style lab and became a board member this year. The team has access to a wide range of tech to assist in the design process in the design process and the clothing they create. I went to meet some of the people on the receiving end of this fashion innovation. I am an adult survivor of Paediatric Cancer and it used to be called a forequarter amputation, i think they take part of your arm, shoulder, a bit of the collarbone. Theyre designing a bag, i guess, that doesnt carry exactly like a backpack and that doesnt destroy my shoulder. Jason da silva has multiple sclerosis and has difficulties with speech. His design team were creating a shirt with integrated microphone and loudspeaker to amplify his voice. Theyre creating a sensor system so i can talk louder than i would normally. Its a speaker system for people to use. An emerging area in Fashion Design being utilised by open style lab is conductive fabric. This is material that can be stitched into clothing to create working circuits and garments. This allows switches in clothing which can be used to operate inbuilt items like lights, heaters and even electric motors. This one, i havent moved it on but what its doing is using a microcontroller chip and ive pretty much asked it to do the same bait switch, the conductive fabric inside, so when you touch one of the pockets, it will send a signal and i did it for the microcontroller to send a signal if it is left or right and these are some of the prototypes that was made for a woman with Breast Cancer to see the range of motion, so this is one of my first iterations of putting on the chip and using conductive thread to figure out how the circuit lives inside a garment. Completed projects created by open style lab in the past include a waterproofjacket shaped to fit a wheelchair user and a seamless top for a young girl whos autism made her hypersensitive to stitching because of autism. The work shows what can be done when technology and lateral thinking meet a social need. With a bit of luck, fashion of the future will all be designed with this much style. We live on throughout the week on facebook and twitter bbcclick. Thanks for watching and well see you soon. Hello and welcome to newswatch with me, samira ahmed. With the Prime Minister on an important trade mission to china, did the bbcs Political Editor ask the wrong questions . And how well has the bbc reported on President Trump and his first year in power . The purpose of the Prime Ministers trip to china this week was to promote trade. But at a News Conference on wednesday, the bbcs Political EditorLaura Kuenssberg had matters closer to home on her mind. To get things done, leaders have to be able to lead. The Prime Minister says she will fight on but concedes something has to shift. Prime minister, on the journey here, you acknowledged that you and your government have to do more to be convincing. What is it that you plan to do differently and will you stand up to your critics . Several viewers felt that was not the time and place for such a question. Barbara fierek put it like this and paul smith added on friday, and paul smith added on friday, Laura Kuenssberg pursued the same theme in an interview with the Prime Minister. People are asking you again and again to be clearer about your priorities. How long can you stay on, do you believe . Well, lets be very clear about this. Ive set out what my vision is. Ive set out and ive said to people that at every stage where we can fill in the detail, we will do so and thats exactly. But how long can you stay on . That line of questioning prompted more complaints, including this from tony webb on tuesday night, donald trump addressed a joint session of the United States congress in his first state of the union address, just over 12 months since he took office. To say its been a newsworthy and controversial first year
