Its army today said the killing of seven aid workers in air strikes this week was a grave mistake due to mistaken identification, errors in Decision Making and a serious violation of army procedures. The convoy, belonging to the charity, World Central Kitchen, was struck in central gaza late on monday night, survivors running between the remaining vehicles before being hit again and then again. The army said its forces had mistaken the bag one passenger was carrying for a gun, after Spotting Gunmen at the warehouse earlier. It was a visual confirmation of a gunman, first of all, on one of the trucks that then conducted shooting from one of the trucks. And when they, indeed, reached the hangars, there were more gunmen identified on the location and it led, basically, to the entire miscalculation, misidentification and the failure of what shouldve happened.

But technology can help. And Shiona Mccallum has spent a day on a rose farm in naivasha to find out more. Our years are punctuated by times that we want to buy flowers valentines, birthdays, christmases. And the chances are, when you look in your bouquet, one of the stems would have been grown here in kenya. But like most places, this part of the world is not immune to the problems that Climate Change is bringing. Rising temperatures, extreme droughts and flash floods are affecting the crop yields. In fact, just a couple of years ago, some Kenyan Flowerfarms reported losses as high as 50 due to the impact of heavy downpours. So thats where the Technology Comes in. Artificial Intelligence Company lima labs is providing a Machine Vision system using drones, which they say makes the farming smarter and more predictable. We use a camera on the drone to take images of crops in the farm. And then once weve gotten those images, we send them to the office and then were able to process them and
