It is seven in singapore and midnight in london and a huge cyber attack is continuing to spread Around The World. It is freezing Computer Systems and demanding that a ransom is paid. It began in ukraine and has a ready hit Global Companies including wpp, the british advertising agency, and merck, the american pharmaceutical company. The first signs came in ukraine. Systems went down this morning. Some people tried to take money out of bank machines, found they couldnt. Even the radiation Monitoring System at the Chernobyl Nuclear plant was briefly taken offline. The scale was enormous. We had the virus spread, cyber virus on the transport, bank, media, infrastructure of ukraine, in government and in the co operative sectors as well. But during the day, it became clear that the problem was not contained in ukraine but was spreading. Reports came in of companies affected from russia across europe to the uk and also the us. Those affected included oil producers, shipping and pharmaceutical companies and a london based advertising group. They were all faced with a screen like this, telling them theyve been locked out of their computer and needed to pay a ransom to get back in. Computer systems which have not been upgraded or patched are usually the most vulnerable. Todays ransomware has some similarities but is not the same as that which struck the nhs last month and, so far, theres no sign of Health Services being affected. Experts say the new attack in some ways is more sophisticated, but the aim is still to make money. Well, ra nsomwa re is very effective because attackers can sit at home, in the comfort of their own living rooms, somewhere possibly on the other side of the world, and mount these attacks with very low risk to themselves and very high upside. In many cases theyll make hundreds of thousands of dollars out of an attack like this. China has reacted angrily after the us placed it on its global risks of the globe offenders on Human Trafficking. The us has accused north korea of providing workers to countries like russia and china. The us Secretary Of State explained more. Lets ever listen to him as well as chinas response to him. Many work 20 hours a day. Their pay does not come to them directly but goes to the government of career which confiscates most of that, obviously. The north korean regime receives hundreds of millions of dollars from the fruit of forced labour. Responsible nation simply cannot allow this to go on and we continue to any nation that is hosting workers from north korea in a forced labour arrangement, to send those people home. Responsible nation s also must look at china. It was downgraded in part because it has not taken a serious steps to end its complicity in trafficking. Translation China Resolutely opposes us remarks about our work with trafficking. We are willing to fight against the crime of Human Trafficking with all countries but only on the basis of mutual respect. We will be speaking to Amnesty International for we will be speaking to Amnesty Internationalfor more we will be speaking to Amnesty International for more later in the programme.

Lets return now to the story in china been declared among the worst defenders on the Human Trafficking. We are speaking to the east asian director of Amnesty International in asia. Thank you forjoining us. Why has the us put china in this category for the first time . Is Human Trafficking really serious in the mainland . Human trafficking really serious in the mainland . Human trafficking is a long standing issue in china. Both trafficking of people into china from vietnam, lagos, burma. Labour is coming from north korea, working in very difficult conditions. As well as trafficking of wives, babies, so china is a very serious offender. Why the us is deciding out to downgrade china and put it on the list of worst offenders alongside countries like iran and north korea, is consistent with a strategy by the us to show that china is vulnerable are on the human rights front and that the us will use this to gain leveraged on other issues. But we have just heard of the chinese government, they have reacted angrily to these accusations and they are saying that they are fighting Human Trafficking . China is fighting Human Trafficking . China is fighting Human Trafficking but it is not fighting it seriously enough. It is not fighting it in a transparent manner and it is not fighting it by allowing ngos and Civil Societies to play a significant role that they play a significant role that they play a significant role that they play a round the world. So china is vulnerable on this issue and the fa ct vulnerable on this issue and the fact they reacted angrily to Human Rights Criticism should really surprised no one. They are trying to turn a genuine Human Rights Issue into china versus the west narrative which is efficient with their domestic population but does absolutely nothing to address an issue that is extremely serious. Baby trafficking, kidnapping, live trading. But could this be politically motivated on the part of the us because they want to Pressure Beijing over north korea . Well, governments are always politically motivated and very often when it comes to human rights, even more so but i think what we have to see is the Trump Administration has made several movements with respect to the rights in china and crackdowns on Human Rights Activist and politicians. This is something that we will continue to see. The question is whether china can show that it question is whether china can show Thatitis Question is whether china can show that it is demonstrably actively fighting these issues instead of just playing a diplomatic game. So far we have not seen china take the steps that it needs to take. Tech giant google says its considering appealing after being fined a record 2. 7 billion dollars by the European Union for breaching anti trust rules. The company has been found guilty of abusing its power, rigging Online Shopping searches by promoting its own shopping Comparison Service at the top of its web page while the results of competitors are buried much further down. Google has been told to end its practices within 90 days orface more fines. Amol rajan has the story. Theyre the new masters of the universe. Googles products have changed our lives forever but, today, the company was brought Down To Earth in the brussels headquarters of the European Commission. After a seven year investigation into googles business practices, commissioner Margrethe Vestager delivered a brutal verdict. Google has abused its Market Dominance as a Search Engine by giving illegal advantages to another google product, its shopping Comparison Service. If you search google for something that you want to buy say, for instance, my new cricket bat several ads appear here at the top of the screen. These are clearly marked sponsored and are part of a Service Called google shopping. Each time i click on one of the ads, The American Tech Giant earns some money. But today, the European Commission ruled that this prime real estate gives google an unfair advantage. Kelkoo is one of the companies that brought the case. It says google needs to be reined in. It said, right, im going to take over this marketplace and im going to demote you all and put myself at the top of the listings. Anti competitive. They cant do that when they have a 90 share in general search. They use that power, and thats wrong. Google said it respectfully disagreed with the decision and would take the 90 days granted by the commission to find a solution. 0ne former Google Insider says the company is being punished for its success. The reality is, google is all about creating a great user experience. The reason why people come back and we use it probably on a daily basis is because it enables us to find what we are looking for as quickly as possible, its a frictionless experience. And they need to stay competitive. For years now, european officials have been itching to subject tech giants to fresh regulations. But over in Silicon Valley, many leading innovators believe social problems usually have a technological, rather than legal solution. One of the great mantras of Silicon Valley is, move fast and break things. I dont think that many people would characterise eu bureaucracy as having that kind of spirit. There are two very different Worldviews America and europe. And they have very different attitudes on competition, on access to data, even on very fundamental things like the profit motive. Whether its a good thing or not. What i think is fascinating about this case is it really shows a very different attitude. Through remarkable innovation and engineering, google has become integral to our daily routines. This record fine is a reminder that it is at base an advertising company, which uses our personal data to sell us things. If you dont like the search results, well, theres always yahoo .

The chinese Artist Ai Weiwei is an outspoken champion of human rights, views that led to his own detention in china in 2011. This week hes in washington, promoting one of his most significant works, lego brick portraits of people he calls freedom fighters. His works on display at the hirshhorn gallery, where jane 0brien caught up with him. Ai weiwei came up with the idea for trace, a sprawling port project, when he was incarcerated by the trainees in 2011. He uses lego bricks to create x rated images of 126 people he considers to be prisoners of conscience or free speech activists. Pixelated images. They are very brave and in most circumstances they know they could lose their life. They know that lost all they have. Most of the people you portray here have been imprisoned by repressive regimes. But some of your portraits are of people who have been imprisoned in the United States. How do you think visitors will react to that . For many visitors they wouldnt be surprised. Very often we think we are living in a free world or free society. I think this is a very shallow thinking. For me, Chelsea Manning is so brave. Trace was constructed by others following his design.

Audiences may not sympathise with the motives of eve ryo ne sympathise with the motives of everyone portrayed in trace, but the broad aim of his work is to raise questions about the nature of freedom and how it is protected or violated by governance.
