Australian PM Seeks Access to Encrypted Messages
World Business ReportAvailable for over a year
Australia's government wants to force tech firms to provide access to encrypted messages. Nicola Whiting from cyber security firm Titania tells us if the bid is likely to succeed. Also in the programme, Somalia endures almost three weeks of data deprivation after a ship cut through its internet cable. Bidan Tahir from the BBC's Somali service has been monitoring the situation. Su Burtner from Tennessee tells us how she managed to get a cricket emoji added to our mobile phones. Plus we look back at all the week's big business stories with Matthew Campbell from Bloomberg, and Robin Wigglesworth of the Wall Street Journal. (Picture: Australian PM Malcolm Turnbull.
