Chinese firms sell 40% of global surveillance equipment, so we look at the implications. Sarah Pope who manages the CCTV monitoring centre for Southwark Council in London discusses the benefits of surveillance technology. Steven Feldstein of the Carnegie foreign policy research institute in Washington tells us how China has come to be dominant in artificial intelligence-powered surveillance tools. Melissa Chan of the New York Times explains what she discovered in Ecuador, reporting on the country's purchase of an entire national video surveillance system from China. And Olivia Zhang, US correspondent for Caixin, the Beijing-owned business and finance media company considers the impact of a recent decision by the US Commerce Department to add 28 Chinese companies to the Entity List, restricting their ability to do business with American firms. Also in the programme, Indonesian investigators have told relatives of those killed when a Lion Air Boeing 737 Max plane crashed last year that mechanical and design issues were among the causes of the disaster. Our Asia business correspondent Karishma Vaswani fills us in on what the relatives heard. Plus US school student Saya Ameli Hajebi of the Sunrise Movement discusses their ambition to see green economy legislation introduced in the US in the form of a green new deal.
