Jimmy Wales, the creator of Wikipedia tells us how he thinks he can combat fake news online. Plus, Joshua Benton from the Nieman Journalism Lab at Harvard University gives his take on Google's attempt to present more truthful answers to search queries.

And Jane Wakefield visits the TED conference in Vancouver, Canada, where she meets Richard Browning, the inventor of a jet-powered flying suit.
