Last year, bangladesh saw civil unrest from garment workers at other hire and pants on fire. Factories, demanding better treatment from their employers. And introducing more automation could have the unintended consequence of moving jobs away from Garment Manufacturing hubs. This is already happening in the united states. Back in dhaka, he recognises the need to engage International Retailers in these over the last decade or so, important discussions. Fashion has gotten faster. Cutting edge design techniques coupled with a huge reduction in the cost of production and the growing success of Online Clothing sites means new designs and trends can be turned into low cost clothing much quicker wejoined him at two of his conferences, the denim expo than just once a season. And the sustainable apparel forum. Technology is a big theme here and Companies Like this one have advanced laser machines as a result, more thani million for garment finishing. Tons of clothes are now bought every this Italian Company year in the uk. The thing is, as fast fashion has grown, so has fashion waste. Provides high tech laundry. With everyone wanting to update their wardrobes more regularly these days, it means were throwing away hundreds of thousands of tons of clothes every year. As the high street piles them high and piles them cheap, we buy more and more. The environment and the waste produced by fast fashion is just one issue facing the industry. Another is how these clothes are made in the first place. In order for us to get such cheap fashion, much of it is made in countries where some think this will open labour costs are low. Up new possibilities bangladesh is a case in point. For bangladeshs workers. They can have a betterjob, for example, they can become an engineer and learn it employs millions of people how to use the machine. In this industry but is faced they can become a designer. Do you think it is feasible for 4 with regular calls to improve million low skilled workers . Its working conditions. Yes, it is going to create other jobs in other industries. Some now think that adding robots to the factories may help for sure, i see it but at what cost . As a positive thing. But others are not so sure. I dont think automation is going to benefit any worker in any industry. Automation is basically this is a very live example a replacement of the worker by a machine which the owners of the automation versus jobs of factories would really love argument that we hear so much about. And it stabilises costs. It stabilises working conditions. Jen has been to bangladesh and has it solves a lot of problems. Been given very rare access to the industry. Bangladesh is second only to china in producing clothing for the world. Its ready made Garment Industry and the women who make up is critical to the economic success the majority of the workers may be of the country, providing jobs disproportionately affected by these advances. For over 4 Million People so really, you prefer that these the majority of whom are women. Women have jobs than automation. Estimates vary as to how manyjobs automation will displace this man is on a mission to transform the future of fashion here, starting with his denim factory in the southern port city of chittagong.

In the industry but some recent reports say up to 80 of simple garment work could be at risk in asia in the next five years. The creation of new machines has brought a once distance prospect of automating workflow in garment factories sharply into focus. Hello and welcome to the week in technology. It was the week microsoft had a deja vu moment issuing a second final windows 7 update just days after saying there would be no more patches for the decade old operating system. The uk decided it would permit the use of huaweis tech in its 56 Network Despite pressure from the us. Restrictions limit the chinese giant. And 15 football teams were struck by a hacker group. The groups targeted twitter and Facebook Accounts to show that Internet Security was still low. In london, the metropolitan police is rolling out its first live operational facial recognition cameras amidst scepticism from human rights groups. Police say it is al who identify suspects wanted for serious crimes with 70 accuracy, yet one watchdog previously warned of a less accurate result. The british developers, ndemic creations, issued a warning to players of its pandemic game plague inc after linking a spike in popularity to chinas coronavirus outbreak. The studio reminded fans that while the game is realistic, concerned individuals should turn to real Health Authorities like the world health organization. And finally, retro arcade games like asteroids could be back with a crash as vintage games maker atari makes an unlikely turn into the hotel business, promising vr and ar spaces alongside game streaming studios. Who fancies a blast from the past with a side of room service . The idea of renting cloths is nothing new, neither is doing it online. Companies like this one have been in the us for over a decade and has met success in the uk. But the popularity of many of these platforms has rocketed since the newfound interest in sustainability has made throwaway fashion feel like a bit of a rubbish idea. But the desire for an evolving wardrobe hasnt gone away. So ive been taking a look at a few of the uk start ups that are using an extra bit of technology to bring this idea up a level. This app brings peer to peer lending to mobile phones, adding a spot of al to the mix. We have got two Machine Learning tools that weve built. The first one is to show listers or lenders when they are listing items. They tag retail photos which are an infringement of copyright laws. The second thing we have built is helping people to tailor their looks. If youve rented a black dress, we will match a pair of green shoes and a green bag with it. Next up, the company is working on Machine Learning to overcome the issue of variable sizing. Over 8,000 users or rotators as they are known, like kat here, already benefiting from adding an extra spot of cash off their belly or finding some wardrobe variability themselves. I got into the whole sustainability and renting thing and buying secondhand in the middle of last year and then i found there were some rental platforms and i was like, that is amazing. I have a lot of stuff and all of my friends want to borrow things for weddings and events and i was like, may as well make some money for it. What percentage of the price of the dress are you renting it for . There is a suggestion in the upper bit but i usually. I think if the dress is like 330, its between £12 and £15 a day and then you offer a discount for a week or a month. If theyre going away for ages, you can offer them a 50 or 70 discount. Ive done it a few times and you make back money. One app hopes to create an entire ecosystem around this idea. Save your wardrobe allows you to create a digital version of your entire wardrobe. To do this, some of this will be a matter of it scanning your e mail for receipts for clothing. Other items you may need to photograph to input. Youll also then make a note of how regularly you form them. Youve worn them. Now that means that if there are any items in the back of your wardrobe that you havent touched for a while, it could suggest ideas on how you rent them or sell them. As well as that rental element providing a partnership with by rotation, cleaning companies and garment preparers will also be recommended and linked to. Our Competitive Edge is that we create an ecosystem of services as a way to upcycle and extend the life of garments. Logging your whole wardrobe does sound quite time consuming though. We managed to squeeze the time to a few seconds when it comes to e mail scanning. So, building the wardrobe through e mails should take a matter of seconds and the Computer Vision is Strong Enough to recognise the category, the colour, the brand. You do need to add the size yourself, though. So, basically, we are building, on the ai side, what spotify is doing with your music or netflix is doing with your movies, learning what your taste is by actually looking at what youre wearing before then suggesting other things that you might not have in your catalogue. So, if the idea of tracking our wardrobes like we track our steps takes off, maybe passing fashions could become a thing of the past. That was lara. And were going to change tack now. This weekend sees american footballs showpiece event the super bowl watched by millions across the us and around the world. The sport is starting to gain popularity in the uk too. In fact, london plays host to several matches throughout the year. Now, from a tech point of view, this fast paced, aggressive sport is swimming in data and being able to instantly analyse it, whether youre a coach or a player, is key to the action. Earlier in the season, omar mehtab went to check it all out when the Houston Texans met the jacksonville jaguars. The National Football league is celebrating its centenary this year. 100 years of nfl, busy reflecting on the history of the sport. But its also looking to the future through a partnership with Technology Giant microsoft. So, alongside the speed, showmanship, violence and beauty of the game, the sport is being transformed by technology. Microsoft has created a purpose built tablet to aid players and coaches with instant tactical information, which, in a game that is essentially like chess but with real people, minor adjustments can be the difference between winning and losing. These tablets are standardised for all 32 teams in the nfl. Each team has 25 of them. 13 on the sidelines and 12 in the coaches booth. As you can see, you can check out the same play by play at different angles around the pitch. But also, the screen is a lot brighter, and its a bit more rugged just in case tensions run high and the coaches decide to chuck it down onto the pitch. With more information and Data Available to players immediately on the sideline, how does it affect the game . The tempo is a lot faster. The offence is changing constantly. The defence is doing the same thing cause they have the same tablets on their sideline. And so the speed of the game and, really, the tempo of the chess match just moves much quicker. Right, up here, were in the coaches booth, and before, what they used to do is get a birds eye view of things and write it all down on paper, and then take that paper down to the dressing room to be able to communicate with the team. But from up here, they can make the changes on the tablet. At half time, theyll run down, leave the tablet here, pick one up in the dressing room, go to their profile and show the team the notes that theyve made. And the nfl believe this is really helping teams. When you can make an adjustment in real time, then it becomes the player has to outperform that other player, because now they pretty much know what each player wants to do, on both sides of the ball, so the individual players skill really has to become involved. Technology never stands still, much like the march of sport. Microsoft have added something to the game. Its subjective whether it improves it or not, but one thing is certain, technologys drive to improve athlete performance will continue to develop. There is so Much Technology thats being introduced now, to our wearables, so in our uniform, gps trackers, monitors, heart rate monitors, things like that. A lot of stuff for player safety. Theres technology thats going into helmets to track concussion, and see if theres anything going on with brain activity. So i think in the next five to 10 years, the game could be completely different. Uniforms and the actual hardware that we wear is changing every year. So, i would expect a lot of technology to be integrated into more of what we wear on the field and what we play. Absolutely brutal, that sport, isnt it . That was omar mehtab. Now, its oscars season at the moment and every year, we like to look at the visual effects behind some of the awards contenders. This week, it is the epic crime drama thats made made Robert De Niro young again these are the secrets behind the irishman. Frank, i want you to meet my cousin, russell bufalino. Better watch this, theres a lot of tough guys around here. Did he tell you . Youre not afraid of tough guys, are you . I did not think so. The movie starts with Robert De Niro lets say at, i dont know, 28 or 30, then he goes 36, then he goes 42, then a7, then 55, then 62, then he moves on. Marty said to me, be careful what you wish for because these actors are not going to want markers and helmet cams or any kind of little cameras in front of them. They also are going to want to be on set, with theatrical lighting, and we are not going to go somewhere else. When we started developing this new way of capturing performances, there was Nothing Available for us. I mean, the only way to capture performances were through a marker system, so we had to find a way to find Something Else beside the markers. We did a test with Robert De Niro in new york, which we recreated a scene from goodfellas. There was a film camera in the centre for the director, and then two witness cameras on the sides. We found out really right away that the software acts better if there are no shadows but, i mean, when you are on set, you always have shadows, because generally youre lit from the side or from back. How do you neutralise the lighting without angering the director or the director of photography . That means that maybe we flood the set with infrared light that the human eye cannot see but the software can. We Work Together to come up with the rig, which was a 3 camera rig. It was important that the witness cameras were part of the director camera. Normally in visual effects, the witness camera dont get ta ken care of. Everyone is in front of them and nobody cares. But if theyre attached to the director camera, wherever the director camera goes, these cameras go, so its like, ok, then we get all that information with us and then we work with re to get those two cameras to be completely infrared, and then we threw infrared light onto the actors. And the software took a look at all that information, the infrared and the rgb information from the central camera and created geometry out of that. If you naturally get rid of the markers, then you start seeing Incredible Movement on the face. Things that we didnt see before. Micro movements were deforming the geometry that were creating to match the background, the real performance. What you see on the screen are real renders, 3d renders, replacements of their faces with minimal involvement with performances. Basically, we made them younger, but thats it, we did not change a blink, because marty didnt want us to do that. We did all this for the actors. I mean, theres an incredible amount of stuff that we got from it. Even if we, you know, had a bunch of burden all over the production section, it did not impact the director because there was nothing that the director did that was stopped by the technology and also, the performances were phenomenal. I am here to defend you, right . Right. What do you want to know, you want to know if i did it or not . Wow, i loved that film and we wish it all the best when the oscars are announced next weekend. Talking of which, next week we will be back in la, with an entire programme dedicated to technology and the movie industry. Its going to be a blockbuster. Hope you canjoin us. In the meantime, dont forget that we live on social media, on youtube, instagram, facebook and twitter at bbc click. Thanks for watching and well see you back in la. Hello. Well, the second half of the weekend is looking pretty changeable across the uk on the weather front, so weve got some rain on the way. That should be sweeping across the uk through the morning. Theres actually a little bit of sunshine in the forecast as well. So, lets have a look at the forecast through the early hours then. So, rain already across the south west of the uk and through the nights, making its Journey Towards the north of the country, but never reaching scotland. In fact, most of scotland, that is, at 5 00 in the morning is clear, and theres also a touch of frost. But in the south, its a different story. Its mild and its wet you can see where the heavy rain is around 5 00 or 6 00 in the morning. Now, by that time we get to around 5 00 or 6 00 in the morning, the weather will have improved already across the far south west of the country, and then by mid morning, weve got some sunshine in the midlands, and by late morning, even some sunshine getting into parts of yorkshire. But the far north of england and scotland in for a wet morning and afternoon, and also the possibility of a bit of temporary snow there falling across the scottish hills. A very mild afternoon in the south, around 1a degrees. Now, we also have some showers in the forecast in the west of the country. Those will continue into the evening hours on sunday. Now, the forecast for monday, and a nasty area of low pressure is forecast to sweep across scotland. That means severe gales on the way and the winds will be picking up early on monday across the Western Isles of scotland, touching gale force very soon in the morning, and then basically through the morning into the afternoon, those winds will build. You can see some heavy rain sweeping through too, possibly some snow across the mountains. To the south of that, its drier and brighter, maybe the southern counties getting a little dose of snow, but were going to focus on those winds, very strong indeed, possibly up to around 80mph in gusts around the Western Isles of scotland, and then monday evening into early tuesday, were expecting the worst of the weather to transfer to eastern parts of scotland, and here, you can see gusts of around 70mph, for example, for murray, aberdeenshire and its expected to be very windy inland, through the lowlands as well, and these winds could cause some delays and some structural damage in places as well. And then thursday, in the wake of this weather system, again, some nasty winds possibly affecting eastern parts of the uk. So this is thursday. That High Pressure is going to build, but not until the following day on wednesday. So, some very windy weather to come through monday and tuesday and then calming down across the uk come wednesday. Thats it from me. Bye bye. This is bbc world news. Im maryam moshiri. Our top stories the Coronavirus Claims its first Death Outside china.
