Egyptian migrants rescued

Big Boss Interview

Available for over a year

The Egyptian authorities have arrested four members of the crew of the boat carrying migrants that sank off the coast of Egypt. Survivors say there were about 550 people on board when the vessel capsized. Internet company Yahoo has confirmed hackers stole information from about 550 million user accounts. The company said it believes the attack had been state-sponsored. The stolen data may have included email addresses and passwords. But Yahoo said it didn't believe payment card or bank account information was involved. Mike Johnson asks US Economist Irwin Stelzer how safe our bank accounts are in 2016 following news that the US bank Wells Fargo is to be investigated over a scandal involving as many as two million fake accounts that thousands of employees set up in customers' names. Alex Ritson discusses the issues with two guests on opposite sides of the World - Ralph Silva of the Silva research network in Toronto and author Phanella Mayall Fine in London.
