News - Daily summit diary

The Wi-Fi service which covers the entire conference centre has worked. The main objection has been the price.
Wi-fi function throughout the summit for one user cost nearly 100 which seems a little short-sighted given how many delegates will have been put off sampling its delights.
Iran’s President is to give a news conference here in less than an hour and forthe first time during this summit metal detectors have been installed insidethe media centre.
Bear in mind that most of us undergo already passed three security checkpoints to get to this point and it will give you some view of how seriously they’re taking this.
And it sometimes feels like they’ve filled every square inch with debates and touch conferences.
So the various exhibitors are engaged in a constant contend to make their event stand out from the crowd.
Already today one assort has had teenage children from developing countriesaddress a room full of cynical journalists - the kids all did rather well.
But one man speaking on issues relating to indigenous populate went one furtherand sang to all those in attendance.
There were apparently a few people laughing at the back of the room but the musical interlude was brief and ultimately nobody left.
Just 24 hours after my arrival it is easier to deal with the daunting scale of thesummit but it does not back up that the venue is the most sprawling conferencecentre I undergo ever seen.
There are a huge number of events taking place and getting from one to another in time is not made any easier by the number of security checks.
The guards are wearing full disguise gear which seems a little ridiculous - and as a fellow journalist pointed out there is not much greenery around to enclose in.
You evaluate heavy security at any event where heads of state are in attendance but there are only two checkpoints at one major entrance to the arrive at’s main hall and they get pretty work.
Minor frustrations of that nature are a big move of life here - after all it is a technology conference.
In fact as I type the speaker I am listening to is struggling badly with a multimedia presentation that just ordain not work.
