Thank you very much, stephen. It s a pleasure to be with you again. It s great to talk to you. It s two months now since venezuelans voted in the presidential election.

But some have made it to safety, having run for their lives. My name is mehdi ahmad and my years old is ten years old. And what has been happening in the last two days? you had to
Announced they will be rolling out facial recognition cameras across the country. Chief Constable Jo Farrell says it would be an Abdication Of Her Duties not to be using it we were given a very good demonstration of it through the summer. Retrospective facial recognition tracked down many of those taking part in the riots. Even those who were masked but is it becoming too intrusive . Even those who were masked. But is it becoming too intrusive . The software that identifies ourfaces is now being developed for authentication, we use it on our phones instead of a code. British telecom are currently trialling that same technology to improve cybersecurity, so that only authorised workers have access to critical systems and data. There is a lot to consider.
