0:00:01 > 0:00:09Now on BBC News, it's time for Click.
0:00:09 > 0:00:16This week, a phone is born and we are exclusively behind the scenes.
0:00:16 > 0:00:48Can artificial intelligence block the bullies? And driving monsters.
0:00:48 > 0:00:54Just across the water from Hong Kong, on the Chinese mainland, lies
0:00:54 > 0:01:04a city at the heart of the country's technological revolution. Welcome
0:01:04 > 0:01:09back to where stuff gets made. When you think of China's electronic
0:01:09 > 0:01:14scene, this might be what you think of. Thousands of factories and
0:01:14 > 0:01:22millions of people mass-producing billions of devices. More than 70%
0:01:22 > 0:01:26of the world's mobile phones are manufactured in China. Their
0:01:26 > 0:01:32components, also made locally, as Aust from the city's famous giant
0:01:32 > 0:01:36electronics markets, where everything is for sale. But all that
0:01:36 > 0:01:43industry is taking its toll on the city. As the buildings go up to
0:01:43 > 0:01:46accommodate the influx of businesses, this mob has come down
0:01:46 > 0:01:49to remind everyone of the price you pay for a rapidly expanding
0:01:49 > 0:01:57industrial economy. The middle-class here is also consuming more power.
0:01:57 > 0:02:05As well as demanding something else, good quality home-grown products.
0:02:05 > 0:02:12And Chinese brands are rising to the challenge, with names like ZTE and
0:02:12 > 0:02:16Huawei breaking out of China and becoming recognised and desired
0:02:16 > 0:02:25worldwide. One such grand is One Plsu it's already turned out a
0:02:25 > 0:02:31number of phones that have been compared favourably to Samsung
0:02:31 > 0:02:38phones and this week it unveiled a brand-new handset. With all the
0:02:38 > 0:02:45fanfare of new phone gets these days.Are you all excited?The
0:02:45 > 0:02:48secrecy that surrounds these phones prelaunch is intense and it's part
0:02:48 > 0:02:53of the hype. Look, it's another black rectangle! But as such it is
0:02:53 > 0:02:57really rare to get a look behind the scenes at the design, manufacture
0:02:57 > 0:03:03and the launch of a new device. But two weeks before the unveiling, we
0:03:03 > 0:03:06were given exclusive access to the inner workings of the production
0:03:06 > 0:03:15line on the run-up to D-Day. Now I'm qualified to serve you pastries.
0:03:15 > 0:03:19They make loads of different types of phones in this factory. To keep
0:03:19 > 0:03:23the 5T as secret from the other workers, every thing happens behind
0:03:23 > 0:03:33the blue shroud of secrecy. Are you ready? Thank you. Come on. Welcome
0:03:33 > 0:03:41to production line 27. The phone starts life as just a tiny camera
0:03:41 > 0:03:45there and then it is gradually assembled around this new shape the
0:03:45 > 0:03:50production line, which means by the time it gets to the end it's a fully
0:03:50 > 0:03:57featured phone just about there. This is the reason China has come to
0:03:57 > 0:04:01dominate electronics manufacturing. The supply of a disciplined,
0:04:01 > 0:04:08low-cost workforce. Each person here has one unique job which requires
0:04:08 > 0:04:13concentration, speed and precision. A single speck of dust in the camera
0:04:13 > 0:04:19lens and the finish phone will be reject it. What I found most
0:04:19 > 0:04:24surprising about this is it's all people. I would have thought with
0:04:24 > 0:04:29this kind of high precision job these phones would have been built
0:04:29 > 0:04:34solely by machine, but it's pretty much all humans. Each line can
0:04:34 > 0:04:41produce more than 90 phones and our. It's exhausting just watching this.
0:04:41 > 0:04:48-- an hour. Fortunately the staff get a two-hour lunch break and also
0:04:48 > 0:04:56suddenly at 3pm... BELL RINGS this might look weird,
0:04:56 > 0:05:00but having seen how intense this job is and how much concentration you
0:05:00 > 0:05:05need, this ten minute break is invaluable.
0:05:05 > 0:05:10I think if I was doing this job I'd just want ten minutes to get my head
0:05:10 > 0:05:16down and close my eyes and reset my brain too. Now, these people are
0:05:16 > 0:05:21bringing together a design that has been anguished over, squeezed for
0:05:21 > 0:05:25efficiency and ultimately compromised to keep costs down. My
0:05:25 > 0:05:31meeting with one of the designers to get the inside track on how he has
0:05:31 > 0:05:34made this black rectangle ever so slightly different from all the
0:05:34 > 0:05:38others. For every new phone you come up with lots of different designs,
0:05:38 > 0:05:45like this.200.But my word! Do you think we've achieved peak design
0:05:45 > 0:05:55now?What doesn't interfere with the final product is something that we
0:05:55 > 0:06:02can't change. We are still making some sacrifices in favour of the
0:06:02 > 0:06:08exterior, still a little bit.Such as?Actually the best place for this
0:06:08 > 0:06:15would it directly on the corner. In our design we have this hangover so
0:06:15 > 0:06:20this doesn't allow us to put this year.If you could get rid of one
0:06:20 > 0:06:31part of the phone, what would it be? Maybe the shell.
0:06:31 > 0:06:38LAUGHS That's the best answer! Back at the factory, Simon would be
0:06:38 > 0:06:46horrified by what happens to his design. This is where an unlucky few
0:06:46 > 0:06:55phones are pulled off the production line to check extreme tolerance. It
0:06:55 > 0:07:06is not being dropped flat, is it? No. It is a more cool environment,
0:07:06 > 0:07:11five degrees. The components will be shaken little bit.Elsewhere, other
0:07:11 > 0:07:16test phones escape that big plunge, but instead are dropped 5000 times
0:07:16 > 0:07:20each. Others have their charge imports wiggled and buttons pressed
0:07:20 > 0:07:3010,000 times. And then there's the tumble dryer. Only about 70% of the
0:07:30 > 0:07:33sample phones start surviving this rigourous testing would have been
0:07:33 > 0:07:39deemed successful. For me this is a fascinating book at how a phone is
0:07:39 > 0:07:43born and now that it's being launched this small preproduction
0:07:43 > 0:07:47mine can expand once the company has an indication of how many orders it
0:07:47 > 0:07:56will get. And that's the secret. Not to produce more than you can sell.
0:07:56 > 0:08:01So when OnePlus decided to take on the big brands, it decided to sell
0:08:01 > 0:08:06its first phone by invitation only. What was the thinking behind that? I
0:08:06 > 0:08:11would have tried to make it as available as possible.Being a
0:08:11 > 0:08:14brand-new company and not making such a complicated product as a
0:08:14 > 0:08:17smartphone and being based here, we didn't really have the opportunity
0:08:17 > 0:08:21to test the product in all the countries where we sold it and
0:08:21 > 0:08:25adding to that we didn't know how many phones to make. If you end up
0:08:25 > 0:08:29having to many phones in your warehouse that you can't sell it so
0:08:29 > 0:08:33far.With the launch over, OnePlus will nervously await the first
0:08:33 > 0:08:39reviews and, more importantly, the advance orders. And they will decide
0:08:39 > 0:08:48whether these people will be joined by hundreds more or not.
0:08:53 > 0:09:00Welcome to the week Intech. It was the week that US automakers Boston
0:09:00 > 0:09:02Dynamics showed off this horrifyingly agile back flipping
0:09:02 > 0:09:09monster! What? Facebook says it is testing a trust indicated to help
0:09:09 > 0:09:14stop fake news and Mario could be destined for Hollywood! Nintendo are
0:09:14 > 0:09:20in talks with animation studio behind Despicable Me, about bringing
0:09:20 > 0:09:24the legend to the big screen. Hopefully it was better than last
0:09:24 > 0:09:30time! Videogames publisher EA was in hot water this week with its new
0:09:30 > 0:09:35Star Wars title. Characters like Luke Skywalker is and Darth Vader,
0:09:35 > 0:09:41gamers had to pay large amounts of credit. I do with real cash or by
0:09:41 > 0:09:45spending tens of hours playing. Due to complaints, EA originally reduce
0:09:45 > 0:09:51the number needed by 79%, but now needs to hold on all real-world
0:09:51 > 0:09:55transactions. Finally, in competition with Amazon and Google,
0:09:55 > 0:10:00the Chinese search engine giant revealed the voice controlled smart
0:10:00 > 0:10:07speaker. It has a detachable remote that comes with an LED display, see
0:10:07 > 0:10:11you can see that wherever you are in the room. There is also a robotic
0:10:11 > 0:10:11arm
0:10:19 > 0:10:24The UK's anti- bullying week is now coming to an end, but behind closed
0:10:24 > 0:10:28doors, computer screens and even smart phones, the bullying that some
0:10:28 > 0:10:34encounter in the school playground still lives on after-hours.After I
0:10:34 > 0:10:40did come out I then received online anonymous messages from an account
0:10:40 > 0:10:44set up to message me, telling me I should kill myself, because
0:10:44 > 0:10:53obviously they didn't agree with my sexuality. It destroyed me because
0:10:53 > 0:10:58not only was the bullying happened at school, it followed me to my home
0:10:58 > 0:11:03and my room, MySpace where I feel happy and I am myself -- my safe
0:11:03 > 0:11:09space.Thomas moved schools and went on to become one of Facebook's anti-
0:11:09 > 0:11:14bullying ambassadors, a scheme funded by the social network to
0:11:14 > 0:11:17train up pupils to provide peer-to-peer support within
0:11:17 > 0:11:22secondary schools.It's really important to have someone there
0:11:22 > 0:11:29because it is someone they know who they can come to. With the
0:11:29 > 0:11:32ambassadors being their generation, children are more likely to come to
0:11:32 > 0:11:36us and know we are there for them, because we are their rage and we
0:11:36 > 0:11:41have similar.But with so many different places to communicate, the
0:11:41 > 0:11:48problem is hard to police, monitor and soul. As those at the frontline
0:11:48 > 0:11:53of dealing cyber bullying attest. Our concern is just how awful that
0:11:53 > 0:11:59things are. It's very sad but we regularly see those kinds of
0:11:59 > 0:12:04comments. Go kill yourself. Those sorts of things, which I can't
0:12:04 > 0:12:08imagine would happen in a face-to-face environment.As the big
0:12:08 > 0:12:12and small players try to overcome the issue, one British company has
0:12:12 > 0:12:17big ambitions. They want to get their software on every single
0:12:17 > 0:12:23child's device before they use it for the first time. They don't like
0:12:23 > 0:12:27to refer to their software as parental control because they feel
0:12:27 > 0:12:31that could put people off. Some of the functions but could be
0:12:31 > 0:12:35considered that. For example, monitoring the amount of time your
0:12:35 > 0:12:38children are online and limiting that however you see fit. You can
0:12:38 > 0:12:43block devices and websites, but it is also planning on upping the game
0:12:43 > 0:12:48of what these sorts of things can do by adding artificial intelligence.
0:12:48 > 0:12:53By later this year it will aim to try to track the behavioural
0:12:53 > 0:12:56changes, so that they can pre-empt any bullying before it actually
0:12:56 > 0:13:03happens. It aims to understand context, dividing triggered alerts
0:13:03 > 0:13:07for parents, rather than letting them actually spy.One of the ways
0:13:07 > 0:13:12that we identify when children are feeling sad and maybe even depressed
0:13:12 > 0:13:17is they stop posting selfies of themselves because they've lost the
0:13:17 > 0:13:21self-confidence. So our software is designed to pick up those trends and
0:13:21 > 0:13:25recognised the changing behavioural patterns. So we are identifying
0:13:25 > 0:13:30cyber abuse, bullying, extortion, grooming and other predatory risks.
0:13:30 > 0:13:35Great if it works but of course it's all really about human behaviour.
0:13:35 > 0:13:38Culturally we obviously have an issue that young people believe that
0:13:38 > 0:13:42you can behave this way online. We need to send a message, it takes all
0:13:42 > 0:13:48of us to work together, educators, parents and tech companies, to make
0:13:48 > 0:13:52sure parents understand that.So while none of the solutions may be
0:13:52 > 0:13:55foolproof, maybe these ideas together could make cyber bullying
0:13:55 > 0:14:01are less troubled in the future it is now. -- vanities today.
0:14:08 > 0:14:12Apple has been massively popular in China, but that popularity has
0:14:12 > 0:14:16started to go down, mostly because of the increase in good-quality
0:14:16 > 0:14:21Chinese smartphones. That has caused a problem for small businesses
0:14:21 > 0:14:26dependent on the obsession with iPhones in China.We have spent some
0:14:26 > 0:14:29time with one of the country's unofficial genius Bar workshops who
0:14:29 > 0:14:39have become dependent on the success of Apple.No waiting for these
0:14:39 > 0:14:42migrants from southern China. 10 years ago they moved to Beijing to
0:14:42 > 0:14:47join the technology boom. For this family run business, they are linked
0:14:47 > 0:14:53to the rise and fall of the popularity of the iPhone. They fix
0:14:53 > 0:14:57more than 10,000 iPhones a year. TRANSLATION:We can basically fix
0:14:57 > 0:15:02any problem, big or small. The main business to upgrade iPhone storage.
0:15:02 > 0:15:08We have seen many customers. Many do not want to change their phone, but
0:15:08 > 0:15:15want to update storage.China and Apple have had a up and down
0:15:15 > 0:15:19relationship. This is the second biggest market. But Apple has lost a
0:15:19 > 0:15:23lot of its lustre in China to be until recently, they faced
0:15:23 > 0:15:26back-to-back declining sales. It is losing ground to Chinese
0:15:26 > 0:15:32competitors. TRANSLATION:Other brands have taken some of the market
0:15:32 > 0:15:37share from Apple. That is why Apple sales are not as good as they were.
0:15:37 > 0:15:44One possibility is it is much more expensive than Chinese brands. At
0:15:44 > 0:15:48the same time, Chinese brands are also made well and good quality, so
0:15:48 > 0:15:56many people choose Chinese brands. This means fewer customers for the
0:15:56 > 0:16:04family. TRANSLATION:It is just too expensive. IPhone eight is the same
0:16:04 > 0:16:12as iPhone 7. The only difference is wireless charging.Apple generates
0:16:12 > 0:16:1735% of its profit in China. The launch of the iPhone can marked a
0:16:17 > 0:16:24return to growth in the country. -- 10. Chinese made apps are dominating
0:16:24 > 0:16:30the market. Many users are now opting for cheaper Chinese brands
0:16:30 > 0:16:37equipped with high-end features. TRANSLATION:People in cities with
0:16:37 > 0:16:44low consumption, four tier cities or below, choose cheap Chinese brands.
0:16:44 > 0:16:56People tend to get lower ones.It is still the fifth selling phone in
0:16:56 > 0:17:02China, but now Chinese phones are moving into the international
0:17:02 > 0:17:09market.Some are selling overseas, like Huawei. They are quite good.
0:17:09 > 0:17:12Two years ago, China was expected to overtake the US, becoming the
0:17:12 > 0:17:21biggest market of Apple. Workers are hedging their bets. TRANSLATION:How
0:17:21 > 0:17:27big a market share they will take in China is difficult to predict. If
0:17:27 > 0:17:31Apple can change to be more attractive to customers, it will
0:17:31 > 0:17:36still have quite a big market share. No one can live without a phone. If
0:17:36 > 0:17:41you work on the phone industry, you will have a market.Even back when
0:17:41 > 0:17:47China was just 93 manufacturing the devices for other countries, it was
0:17:47 > 0:17:50still growing pretty strong technology brands to serve its own
0:17:50 > 0:17:57enormous population. Take WeChat, an application used by nearly 900
0:17:57 > 0:18:02million people in China. It is a bit like WhatsApp, but you can do so
0:18:02 > 0:18:09much more with it. You can order a taxi, order food, and even get like
0:18:09 > 0:18:18on Tinder. -- date. Is in the smaller shops accept payment through
0:18:18 > 0:18:28WeChat, even if they do not take cash. -- even the. This is the
0:18:28 > 0:18:33easiest peer to peer payment scheme I have ever seen. The money is
0:18:33 > 0:18:39transferred from your account to that. Behind WeChat is one of the
0:18:39 > 0:18:44biggest companies in China, Tencent, possibly the biggest company you
0:18:44 > 0:18:51have never heard of. And just a race book and Google in the West, they
0:18:51 > 0:18:54are trying to make sense and make use of all of the interactions and
0:18:54 > 0:18:59words and pictures shared on the service every second. The brand-new
0:18:59 > 0:19:04artificial intelligence lab in Shenzhen is full of young minds
0:19:04 > 0:19:10trying to apply machine learning to understanding images. They are
0:19:10 > 0:19:15coming up similar results we have seen previously from companies in
0:19:15 > 0:19:19the West. This application identifies different objects in a
0:19:19 > 0:19:23picture. At the moment, just rectangular books. But here is one
0:19:23 > 0:19:28that tries to work out what you are wearing, presumably so it can sell
0:19:28 > 0:19:32you more of the same. You see, as soon as you can isolate objects
0:19:32 > 0:19:39within the image, you can give them special treatments. Now, that could
0:19:39 > 0:19:44be for novelty reasons, a bit like what we have seen Snapchat do, or
0:19:44 > 0:19:46more useful things, like intelligently applying different
0:19:46 > 0:19:56effects to different parts of the image, like lightening. Is a video
0:19:56 > 0:20:00chat, the faces the most important part. By isolating that, they can be

0:20:23 > 0:20:28data. And for times when the video is not clear, or it is too
0:20:28 > 0:20:31compressed, here is how they increased the resolution, adding
0:20:31 > 0:20:35back in missing detail by looking for clues of what was lost over
0:20:35 > 0:20:42several friends of video. But this laboratory wants to go further. --
0:20:42 > 0:20:50frames.Before the plane was invented, people could not imagine
0:20:50 > 0:20:56flying. Only after that invention do we understand it is possible. The
0:20:56 > 0:21:00same thing has happened with AI to be instead of just improving
0:21:00 > 0:21:03efficiency, we need a big breakthrough going beyond
0:21:03 > 0:21:07imagination.If nothing else has impressed you, here is a new feature
0:21:07 > 0:21:11which will analyse your photos, write a description of them, and
0:21:11 > 0:21:27then wrapped them. -- wrap. No, rap them. It seems that Tencent are
0:21:27 > 0:21:34working hard to catch up to the West, innovating in many areas.
0:21:34 > 0:21:37These lunchtime power naps are commonplace in China and probably
0:21:37 > 0:21:41necessary to enable them to keep working late into the evening. And
0:21:41 > 0:21:45they will certainly need a lot of energy, because Tencent is trying to
0:21:45 > 0:21:50break out of China that it has bought a stake in Snapchat and also

0:22:00 > 0:22:05Tesla. And I am not just talking about semiautonomous cars, no, Tesla
0:22:05 > 0:22:11now has a new truck. Here is Dave Lee in Los Angeles.You really have
0:22:11 > 0:22:17to hand it to Elon Musk. When people say he cannot do something, he is
0:22:17 > 0:22:21doing too much, he goes and launches an enormous electrical truck. And
0:22:21 > 0:22:30here it is. The Tesla Semidays, it will go 500 miles in a single
0:22:30 > 0:22:36charge, carrying the heaviest loads on the roads, doing 0- 60 miles per
0:22:36 > 0:22:44hour in 20 seconds.On the left, the thing that looks like it is not
0:22:44 > 0:22:49moving, that is a diesel truck.As you might expect, it comes filled
0:22:49 > 0:22:55with a host of Tesla technology, including autonomy. This thing will
0:22:55 > 0:23:01change on its own.Now, a diesel truck is twice as expensive as a
0:23:01 > 0:23:07Tesla Semi.Moving from diesel to electricity, it is more cheap, and
0:23:07 > 0:23:11they could pay for themselves in just a few years.Other companies
