US Government Cyber Security Comes Under Scrutiny
Big Boss InterviewAvailable for over a year
US Central Command's Twitter and YouTube accounts are suspended after being hacked by a group claiming to be supporters of Islamic State. It comes as President Obama gave a speech on cyber-security. We'll hear from the US Government Accountability Office which says government agencies need to pay more attention to security. Cambodia's biggest dam came into operation on Monday supplying 338 megawatts of hydro-power. Is this unqualified good news or should environmentalists be worried? We'll also take a look at the new Sri Lankan government and ask what its future relations with China and India might be. Our special guests are David Kuo of The Motley Fool in London and Alexis Goldstein of The Other 98 Percent who joins us from Washington. They'll be discussing politicians' pay and business jargon.
