News. Hello and welcome to New Day from the b.b.c. World Service sounds a lot ample walking quickly this was our correspondent John Sudworth who will be on the run fascinating report about camera surveillance and face recognition in China Jon goes around in a city of 4000000 people and tries to avoid the gaze of the security state also Indian politics on the way bitcoin in business and online safety All that coming up here on Tuesday. But we begin in Brussels for the Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu is there for breakfast is the 1st time in 22 years such a visit has taken place and the rumbling complaints in the background that he's rather invited himself to have breakfast with the E.U.'s foreign minister he got one invite from little weightier and then announced his trip in Israel's parliament that he was off to Brussels which came of such a surprise to the e.u. That they sort of in revenge of invited the Palestinian leader to visit Brussels next year to kind of make up yeah and in the background of course the last week's American recognition of Jerusalem as Israel's capital that has delighted Mr Netanyahu the dismays the foreign policy establishment the e.u. And its from policy chief Federici mothering he believes in the 2 state solution while Mr Netanyahu bluntly told French journalists Jerusalem has never been the capital of any other people so what do we expect today amongst the press pack following the Prime Minister on this historic visit is Towle Schneider she writes for The Globe's newspaper in Israel these are the prime minister is a is in a very good Norton products when the segment from the president really cold is surrounding on Twitter from talking about maybe's on investigation into a diplomatic issue is making for drama you could say with McCrone there wasn't agreement between the 2 but I think for the 1st conference yesterday in their words just prime obviously nothing. Now what I don't want to think old but very confident with self is he has now the very strong backup of the American president probably makes you feel good traveling around Europe like that the meeting was fixed before Trump's announcement what originally was he hoping what message was he hoping to get over is that still going to be the main message you know what that is very interesting thing the main topic was the 1st to be what's happening in Lebanon and what's happening with the Iranian attack inside Syria and Lebanon and with the good relationship that the president for Kron hold with Lebanese people is that we're on you know on the place where those 2 leaders but obviously since Wednesday with Annan and with respect to Jerusalem and things have changed and the focus has moved to Jerusalem consonant would be maybe a really good description for defense yesterday I think what is going to happen today is well we are now with the prime minister entourage in Brussels and it's now going to meet with Fredricka mongering and the rest of the European foreign ministers for an informal breakfast and it feels it almost like he's coming here to have maybe a decent fight or decent argument that's good for him politically back home you may want on that right now that's interesting because it really who's in charge of all foreign policy ve you has constantly fought with Netanyahu he apparently is true he managed to get himself invited to Brussels behind her back so it's kind of plenty disrespectful she's so annoyed that she's invited the Palestinian president to come next year so it's a little bit spicy is that it's sort of a maybe a little bit of a diplomatic capital after all she did at the end she did. Send out an invitation I think with remembering anything you know the prisoner relationships are Ok it's just that she always brings the form of policy decision off the euro and there are * disagreement within the party this is not a to Crist. On many fronts on the Iranian issue I'm going to see on settlements issue that the now actually heard just then I think you're going to hear today again that people here want some different settlements it's interesting though is know the Seems to be a bit of a split within the e.u. Particular between Western and Eastern capitals with regards to policy with Israel is he trying to take advantage of that because he has he has friends in the Czech Republic and Hungary and less so to the west is this what he's trying to do is trying to explore the variety of attitudes in the e.u. . I think definitely you got the important point here in Israel they keep saying you know with respect to Jerusalem you may see a different approach from Western Europe to Eastern Europe and never really had to step out and give Iran statement with respect to Jerusalem without the consent of the entire firm and that was interesting and why was that was because one of the Eastern countries said no actually we don't want to condemn the decision exactly actually before you came but if you would have come anyway interesting is a bit of a split within the e.u. That maybe Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is hoping to take advantage of his visit for breakfast with e.u. Foreign ministers in Brussels taking place very soon. Next to what China says it is building over the next few the world's biggest camera surveillance network across the country 170000000 c.c.t.v. Cameras already in place and then estimated 400000000 new ones will be installed in the next 3 years many of them are faces with artificial intelligence including facial recognition technology are forced to work has been given rare access to one of China's new high tech police control rooms in the central city of yang. On adding. Greenwich takes up the whole wall of this giant control room images the flashing of a city. And as people walk through the train station turnstiles or across busy road junction. Their faces. Sweetly. And the computer catches each one of them. So I don't have to get the water now it's my turn or not well that's the police officer in the gray Yang digital control room set about showing me how their system worked something out a little bit disconcerting about lending my facial data to the Chinese state. Their vast digital database contains the image of every young resident great so that in the system now. Let's see how long it takes you to find me thank you very much let's go. You don't have to care for. The technology I'm up against is produced by Chinese companies like I will be by your side anytime anywhere it's already sold $1000000.00 facial recognition cameras in China and their Head of Research. Paints an extraordinary picture of what they can do in. The system can match every face with the NY Detox and a trice all your movements one week in time one can match your face was the car huge wife Batu with no relatives and the people you are usually in touch with him for the camera density is high enough which I know full you are regularly meeting. That I just got out of a car very close to the city center for the purposes of the exercise I'm going to head in the direction of the. Images All right. Even flagged to the authorities as a suspect and in theory it should only be a matter of time. Oh the pool of a whole lot for ordinary people we will only extract their data when they need our help to Yanis the director of go young the control center insists that the system will only be used to target criminals all the while sort of hold on if you have nothing to hide you have nothing to fear so yes that's just citizens don't need to worry but even those who make the technology accept that it raises big questions I ask the overseas marketing director for Dar Daniel Chow whether he feels comfortable with the idea of a society in which everyone can be tracked and monitored all the time. Honestly I don't feel very comfortable there's a certain level of discomfort for so I think technology by itself is a tool for human being just like a weapon if you keep in the wrong hands you might do very vexing I argue. China a country with no independent courts and very few privity protection is rapidly expanding its network plan eventually is to not only be able to detect criminal behavior but predict it to start our. Company now I think that somebody telling me on the left let's listen to this next shot and then divine from smack it's a facial recognition camera way young bus station that spots me the control room immediately sends in a group of nearby police offices. Around most of the art and it's all over in a city of 4000000 people it has taken less than 7 minutes. To find me the technology can help fight criminals of course but in the hands of a one party state it is a powerful new tool that dissidents and critics may come to fear to just take their in for a 2nd 7 minutes to find one man in a city of New 1000000 people here interesting that a little less we have the b.b.c. Printed on his forehead which you know as a as a as a corporate owners as a possibility I don't ask them a story we had an email have but yeah Southall stuff in China yeah Johns of us being tracked down willingly 17 minutes past the hour a quick reminder of the headlines that Venezuela story the 3 main opposition parties have been told they can't field presidential candidates next year's election the wildfires in California still go on the worst wildfires in the state's search history Firefighters say the area affected is now greater than that of New York City and another headline for us futures contracts for the digital cryptocurrency Bitcoin has begun trading in Chicago over with a bit of a bang for the time she's here to tell us more sized of futures that's dying on the promise of what you can sell it for in the future yes it can be viewed that way the easiest way to view it actually isn't to look at something like that coin it's a look at something like buy you can call potatoes or something like that now imagine your walk is Christe and you need to basically make crisps So you need to know how many potatoes you're going to be able to buy in the marketplace this time next year she can keep your potatoes flowing in completely smoothly and efficiently a little bit strange your brain because none of those potatoes even implanted yet but nonetheless people will buy and sell between one another contract so the brokers can ensure it gets the growing number of potatoes that's what futures are used and when it comes to Vic coin we've been talking about it going up and down and up and down so if you take a few trump it can. 6 months ago you'd have no idea where it was going to be absolutely no idea whatsoever I reckon the very few people would have got a price exactly right right now I can tell you today what has happened is the c b o e the Chicago Board of exchange has become trading futures over in the United States did it last night the other big futures and options exchange over in the u.s. The c m e is going to begin on the 18th of December but everybody was watching the 1st one just to see what was going to happen there are what are called circuit breakers that happen when the market moves up too quickly or down too quickly and you can bet that yes Bitcoin futures immediately started breaking out those circuit breakers there were 2 minute pauses in the trading that happened when the futures went up 10 percent it was a 5 minute hold in trading when they went up like 20 percent these are the hopes in the trading of their cause everyone to cool down and have a little bit of time for reflection while they decide what they do what they did immediately afterwards was valued in more. So they kept going up with up and up and up and up there actually they ended the day up issue around 25 percent interesting to people we said you know the danger because it is you know you can get a bubble sounds like a bubble Yes Well it certainly does the best way to look at it and there are obviously 2 times the song and those that say that they call in should be have another 0 on the end of the price and should be up even more in those obviously the think it should be going down people said the pick owing was in a bubble when it went from around $1.00 a couple of years ago up to $689.00 middle of last year and of course said they were predicting massive public because it's gone up so much it's gone from that $1000.00 back in the beginning of this year to well at the peak last week $17000.00 so any more of a bubble or not it's impossible to say something's worse for people of willing to pay for just this sort of follows the principles of. It has become supposed to be an alternative currency one that didn't do all the things that ordinary currency is doing here it is doing exactly what currencies it's a little bit it's a little bit of a mixed bag on that front 1st of all none of the money that gets traded becomes of a complicated but none of the money that has traded in futures actually ends up in the coin market because they can't take it imagine the 1st football game is taking place and you saw your everybody else in the room right now has bets between one another on going to win the football cards who are betting around the football game none of the money we're betting with because anywhere near the football game futures markets a little bit like that for my son should be for a puncture with a consciousness speaking of football in future contracts for the English Premier League title race is over. Looks like it's December as it seems that ridiculous but that doesn't interest the city's $21.00 jobbie win at Manchester United on Sunday the result extended their laid at the top of the table to 11 points and broke a record so they are the 1st game now to win 14 successive English top flight gangs in a single season but more interestingly I think right now is there are reports of bust up between City and United players and staff after the match with The Guardian newspaper suggesting police officers and stewards had to separate the opposing groups and the newspaper described the scenes like a pub rule the times have a more detailed account of what happened saying that the car test was left with blood running down his face following the men I said involved 15 people water and milk was trying Marina and that came about because Marina was unhappy with the city's supposedly over the top celebrations none of this is being come said by both clubs we haven't had a statement yet so I'm sure something will come out in the next few hours as everybody wakes up and tempers have cold that tempers die well also on display after the mid east side job a which ended in a one old role the Liverpool manager at York and club gave a spy. Test match because he was unhappy with the penalty that led to Wayne Rooney's equaliser full editing basically tell reporters that he only wanted to talk to someone with an understanding of football that was just him being polite and in Spain Basile a No one at the area because 5 points clear at the top of the league Many thanks now let's go to India where the most famous political party is going to appoint a member of the country's most famous political family as its leader 47 year old rock who the name you have heard before will be named as party president so can he revive the fortunes of the Congress party what about the future of domestic politics and talk to India reports of rural towns in Kolkata 1st off just remind us the candy family how long does their influence stretch back Dynegy. Right Lawrence from India's independence Neris with the 1st prime minister of this country with a from the candy family that we had in drug and the then we had her down the way we had her stand Rajiv Gandhi very different role and then now we obviously have Rahul Gandhi as well there was a bit of Indian politics and again the family didn't rule the country and we had a different Congress Prime Minister Manmohan Singh but even then again he was in the background of probably controlling the string theory didn't want to take over because he was Italian so in terms of world politics I don't think there's been another family in any country on this planet that has had the influence over a democratic nation like the Gandy have had over India probably for about 75 to 80 percent of this country's independence they have been governed by that Jap brand dandy and one of the public of the family now with the approach of be a sort of appointment as leader of Congress abroad. I think it's an interesting one really because brand is not as strong as it used to be that because India is a very young country most of the people here are under the age of 25 and they don't really have the memories of the older generation to the. Son as well as he was governing this particular country we've got another brand in Indian politics now. Being the most inspiring of leaders of the Conquest party in spite of having a very good name and the reason for that is that he's often become the butt of jokes of comedians except he just seems to be a very reluctant politician but I've been out on the streets of Calcutta this morning asking people is still relevant it's definitely there I don't think. I think. That brings behind things. That is important. Person to do the job in the current and probably most of the people. But the question then becomes. If you want my honest opinion I don't think he really is even though we've seen a little bit back at the moment he has a sister who seems to be a lot more popular than his grandkids problem is people don't like very much at this particular point in time I've been speaking to Adam. Says he thinks the system which. I would Priyanka Gandhi. And thereupon he decided that Ok. Dr. Will be the face of the party. Around Priyanka Gandhi campaign. Which. I think she would be to judge your own brand Ralton reporting for us on the return of the Gandy dentistry to the top of the Congress party in India and their prospects for the future. You say from the b.b.c. World Service here's something you might not know one in 3 Internet users worldwide is a child and in a report which has just been released the us children agency is warning that to just leave being done to protect them from the dangers of the digital world Unicef director of data research and policy is Lawrence Chandy Well I think about this issue is that the Internet was wasn't really created with children in mind but. Users worldwide are children and that share is growing so it's forcing us to think about the benefits and risks for child uses Now when we say that one in 3 uses the Internet as a child their act isn't the same across the world there are big differences in quality depending on whether your acts in the Internet you know from your own laptop or whether your sharing access with your siblings on a someone other than maybe you have a kind of a strict. Kind of quality isn't shared by one certainly but the numbers of users is increasing rapidly around 170000 children a day come online for the 1st time and when they come online they're often supporting the show identities and so it's really a huge phenomena and it sort of forced us as an organization take a step back and think about the implications on one's face simply on young African children they seem to have according to a report less access to the instead of actually thought the converse is true untold young Africans have smartphones you know things lines in banking are really big in Africa names of our phones the big so of course surprise me we've reached pretty much saturation in the west some places like Europe where virtually all children are online and just a small number not connected yes. Only in court. On Sunday afternoon in the African continent the share of people who are online is less but you know you bring up a really interesting point which is that if you are young African oil co your property connecting fire a phone number of school desktop or not your parents laptop will want an instant cafe and when you go online you know you're not going to browse or you're not going to the right you know random what you usually accessing the Internet via some sort of platform that could be face call you know Twitter or Instagram whatever it might be but for me that's a really critical point because it links this issue around issues like then as a 1st time you're right on those on that site it asks you What's your name what's your date of birth What's your agenda and forth with the child to start to rating this issue I think just defend id they may be from the government social security or national insurance number the kind of things which kind of identity we normally think of that is UNICEF's director of data research and policy policy I should say no one's Chanda You're listening to news day from the b.b.c.

World Service Laurence Pollard and pull his whistle as developments for democracy in Venezuela on the way a report from our correspondent also the issue of mob violence and how to address this in Nigeria China's spreading influence via the Internet all interference via the Internet in the eyes of Australia and Germany we got support and chocolate from Nigeria why that's a good business idea. Flags at half mast flown by the United Nations all around the world today in memory of those killed and injured in the attack on un peacekeeping mission on the Democratic Republic of Congo it was the deadliest single attack on a un peacekeeping mission in the early 25 years rebels in eastern Congo killed 14 peacekeepers one is still missing and wounded dozens more in an assault on their base its attacks the attacks to highlight not only the lack of stability in the d c but also the situation of the you in and and their role it speak now to Chris before who is a researcher on Central Africa travels to the region regularly has written a book called Congo's violent peace this year tell us a little bit Chris about the Allied democratic forces the a.d.f. The rebel group which is thought to be behind this it seems very organized very deliberate Who are they and why they've done it. A.d.f. Is one of the oldest. Active undercover released territory and it's rare for more than 25 years active and region the border area let's say victory in Congress and you know again it is in the 1st place in its origin an opposition group against president loses 70 and in the latest years developed. An Islamic agenda at least this is thought by many people because. It's it's leadership. It's Islamic so far is that it has been difficult to really points point out that there are links in the broader Islamic Islamised movement and it's very active How important is that ideology is it actually just one of the many criminal gangs bent on self enrichment whatever their political or religious justification. I think it's really one of the many armed groups. Partly political mainly economic agenda. And it has been. The focus of it has been the origin of a lot of violence in in and around beneath since October 2014 so what happens now. Fixed rate in a violent recent history that the intensity of the action has been much higher than not we have seen before now what we've seen recently of course is the u.n. Adopt a far more proactive mission in the area as well they're able to strike back sort of well they have more discretion to use violence to take on the u.n. In their group is sort of where they're based seems remarkably bold and very confident the people who were killed what terms an eon were they killed for being un or being Times in Ian. They're killed for being un. The attack was against the 10 genuine talian of the recent. Brigade. Which indeed has a much larger mandate. G.d.s. Stunning part of happened. And is indeed the scale of it and the attack was much heavier than what we thought you could expect from a.d.f. And why they're for Has it been done because surely they must fear some kind of repercussion are they acting with impunity do they not think anything's going to happen to them. Yes it's older has to be investigated of course in the 1st place it has to be investigated exactly as responsible. Because if you have an importance and live in the area but not the only one it could be a larger coalition there are also other areas in eastern Congo where we see recent attacks of armed groups which are better organized better armed better structured with with more with with with more. Joint action that could be part of this. Reason might be to discourage. Money it's good to try to. Try to convince them they need to withdraw for instance we don't know that but that's that's possible. So far money school remains an important. Factor in reducing the chaos in Congo if when the school would withdraw its Dunsany I would withdraw we might fall in more chaos and maybe that's the aim right so the interesting question now is the UN's response will they be will they stand strong against this kind of attack what can they do. Is the key question of course is the key question. I. Definitely hope that that. Would not reduce its presence and it's actually it would be the wrong moment Congress sliding into more. More violence in eastern also in other places as we have seen in sight at this all linked to the uncertainty of the political agenda that said people are not sure of what will happen in the near future and motivates a lot of actors and gooding armed groups still to to to just take position and reinforce them selves and this is what's happening and it's not good for the people it's not good for the country and it's not good for the process and I presume it just makes the likelihood of an election in the area even further away Crystal votes many thanks indeed author of a book Congo's violent peace. Next on New Day we go to Venezuela where President Maduro has said that the opposition parties the boycotted the Merrill elections won't be able to participate in next year's presidential elections it comes as pro-government Candide it took a majority of the more than 300 Merril seats up for reelection across the country and South America correspondent Katie Watson now reports from the city of Bucky the matter but on top of what happened I don't see him to help out if you are my people if you're going to sit on a feeling that somebody isn't accused in the Do I was to find a party that is going to be elections could no longer participate in future events he said they disappear in a political map this revisionist parties will see such as a state in this weekend's elections because they said the electoral system was biased This is Mr the do as well as retaliating one of the main tank a to come you know.

We are writing to the challenge of the demands imposed on us by your national government as well as the opposition they are imposing sanctions to damage and block our economy. Outside the very contentious is the crowd gathering and people are registering this thing called a kind of name in a party and it effectively called it being in peace by the government to vegetation benefit so the idea is he coming to read Felix out with it and you'll get $500000.00 believe it got around $10.00 on the unofficial paper saying.

On German officials and politicians possibly recruit them as well the German. Chinese intelligence has used the link to contact at least 10000. Strain relations between our. And China which is its biggest trading partner speaking Mandarin the Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull has used unusually strong language to criticize China or over alleged interference in domestic affairs Let's go live to Sydney and speak to our correspondent Phil Mercer Phil good morning to you what is causing this friction. Well it's over alleged foreign interference in Australia's domestic politics there is a feeling among senior members of the Australian Government that China has been meddling in Australian affairs defense analysts have been saying that they believe they joining is trying to bully Australia now last week the government here announced a ban on foreign donations to political policies and laws that could see those who meddle in Australian democracy on behalf of another nation actually go to prison and the prime minister Malcolm Turnbull's speaking in both English and Mandarin said when it came to dealings with China Australia wouldn't be intimidated modern China was founded in not in 40 not with these words jungle room and gunshy lie that Chinese people have stood up it was an assertion of sovereignty it was an assertion of pride and we stand up and say I was out I run my own country liveliest right and people stand up so unusually strong diplomatic language there from the Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull one of his cabinet colleagues has accused an opposition Labor senator of sailing his duty to the Australian Parliament the senator in question it's Sam Dastyari he is in the spotlight in quite hot water over his links to a wealthy Chinese political donor and Sam Dastyari is defense of China's policy on the South China Sea and defiance all his own party stance the policy in opposition here the Labor policy and Australia's Immigration Minister Peter is Datsun is accusing Senator density arre of being disloyal that Sandusky arre is a double agent and he can't be of use trying to sell it he can't play the way agents $22.00 countries if your instructions printed on your 1st duty is to be a strong title and Sam Dastyari has filed that Judy So that is a sir. When Immigration Minister Peter Dutton feel that I can imagine the Chinese if they are happy with these accusations What if I had to say that China says it lodged an official complaint over Mr Turnbull's remarks Beijing saying that they are prejudicial and this terse response from China's foreign ministry spokesman gang she wearing shows just how clearly the Chinese are not very happy over all of this when they are they are lowering your way our standard by the relevant remarks of the astray in later such remarks simply cater to the irresponsible reports by some astray in media without principle and full of bias against China it poisons the atmosphere of the China Australia relationship that is going shrug and Chinese new Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesperson adding that report by filmmaker right now. After the music talk talk that we decided to talk shop that we're talking cocoa beans usually if you talking West African cocoa beans the association is with Ivory Coast being the dominant supplier of course but there's also and has been for one large industry in Nigeria which may be rather overlooked by the world in the studio we have someone from the oldest cocoa plantation in the country who's on a mission to revive its role and the role of his region as well to the power of chocolate delighted to say welcome to his royal highness over Thompson who's a traditional leader of the only community an ocean province in the southwest here in London to promote a new edgy only branded chocolate and serve welcome 1st of all I did you say it's the oldest cocoa plantation how long. The Brits said 121 years. Of constant production of cocoa on the last week and that remark progress that's an all specious occasion how would it compare to those in Ivory Coast would say that their cocoa is the best how is yours comparatively. Where we have the. Consider what we call the cliffs in their original beans What do you have in Ivory Coast is probably the high yield. Apologies for what you have a strictly come these in High Street shelf All right so yours is more sophisticated tell us more then yes what we. After the war between 878886 my great grandfather of. The coming into everything on me and found he needed to build. A new economy for this community and in the course of the war before before the war he came across the particles traders and brought in cocoa beans from South Hermie which are regionally brought in from Brazil in 18 forties now that's interesting because I know people who are very into their chocolate and they say that the suffer from South totally is some of the best chop that you can find so yours has the same lineage it's from there originally Exactly and the plantation has been the same since then since it was established well it's got about 30 different varieties of been about we still have the original ones and we still try to preserve if I'm not aware of what the tea and the Chocolate I've come on now this is interesting what do you do just mean obviously one of the great economic stories in Nigeria is the fabulous resources there not resigned did Nigeria you export your resources and then they go back so what do you do with your beans are you able to make the chocolate in Nigeria or does it have to go abroad and then come back Ok what we do you need is not exactly the ball we still own the bins we don't sell our bins we bring out bins in promise if we don't use the clip which is a clear another in.

Or it's going to be chocolates while we're looking at doing these I proffer the fact that it's Africa that produces when looking at it as a social impact products for Shared Value prophecies I'm quite interesting to that means you've got 2 or 3 something points you've got the quality and the heritage of the beings and you've got where the money goes and the fact that your in control of the manufacture exactly what would you hope to do with it make a lot of money or make a lot of people happy. And I certainly provide make everybody happy it's a win win for the patient because I'm the end of the day it's not about me going to my bother people it's more about the social services the infrastructure and that's where the money goes the money goes back to sort of says that your cousin doesn't make it to make me happy does it just took me in the morning. You know would you interpret it then go on give us give us your trying to act I'm not very good at explaining talk I think is it I just feel chocolate is it you feel or how you think I'm feeling I'm feeling a flurry.
