Storyline
Newsnight, aired 20th July 2017 on BBC2 featuring a special report by Richard Watson on new "face recognition" surveillance technology, aimed at recognizing and picking out potential high risk terror suspects from a crowd. Whilst the technology is ready for implementation, political approval is called for, keeping in mind public safety, currently at 'critical' verses civil liberties. —Essa Zahir

Great Newscasting
This is a British gem and also a late night wake up call - because they do not let the politicians get away with anything and chase up an answer until the politicians go blue in the face (or red with embarrassment) Paxman is a legend and Gavin Hesler is a great 2nd in command - and believe me these boys are in command of their world and space! Michael Crick makes a quirky addition to the team and also pumps in an original energy but also there is mark Urban, the analyst and respect by US Generals when talking about Iraq and its battles/hot spots. I hope one day that they make a film about the legend that is Paxman - Yeeeesss!!!!
Keep up the good work BBC2 - that's what you were created for!!
