Online scammers targeting 'sextortion' victims
Two people share their experiences of being targeted by sextortion scammers online.
Sextortion is demanding money from someone with the threat of releasing their online pornography viewing habits. Thousands of people all over the world have been receiving these emails from online scammers. These are different from normal scam emails because they often include a hacked password as part of the message. We speak to a BBC reporter who was targeted by one of these scams, and someone who took their sextortion case to the police.
We also hear the latest on the protests in India, where tens of thousands of farmers are marching to Delhi to demand the government discuss the agriculture crisis.
And the United Nations has put reggae music on its list of global intangible cultural treasures. We speak to a reggae enthusiast who is working to preserve sound system culture.
