US authorities open probe into SolarWinds' cyber breach

Available for over a year

The US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has begun the inquiry into last December's cyber attack on the IT provider, media reports say. It will ask whether some companies failed to disclose they had been affected. Our technology correspondent Rory Cellan-Jones explains the story. Sweden's leader Stefan Lofven has lost a confidence vote following a rent control dispute. The BBC's Maddy Savage explains the background, and we get analysis from Jonas Hinnfors, professor of political science at the University of Gothenburg. Also in the programme, the BBC's Manuela Saragosa asks how Gaza might go about reconstructing, following last month's violence between Israel and Hamas. (Picture: The SolarWinds Corp. logo.
