in ten high—tech manufacturing sectors by 2025 has come under fire from european businesses. they fear china will swamp whole industries and spark a protectionist backlash. the arab news reports on the results of an ipsos mori poll, which revealed one in five people believe women are inferior to men and should stay at home, and that men are more capable at the workplace and at school. the global survey was released on the eve of international women's day. and finally, ‘dr robot will see you now‘. a new controversial nhs scheme in the uk will allow patients to consult a chat bot on their smart phone when they contact a non—emergency help line, and turn they will receive a diagnosis. joining us is stephanie hare who's an independent political risk analyst. nice to see you this morning. the

caa is not targeting everybody, but it could if it wanted to? —— cia. yes. i think the important thing is that the debate until now has been about whether and not intelligence agencies could break encryption that we saw in these different apps that people use to indicate like whatsapp oi’ people use to indicate like whatsapp or signal. what this is about is being able to break into your actual smart phone or into your smart television, in the case of the samsung tv. i think that is what is interesting here. in some ways, it confirms that they have still not been able, we think, to break encryption, and encryption between these outs. but now they do not need to because they can get into your phone and activate your camera and your microphone, and record all of your microphone, and record all of your communications, anyways. so it bypasses that cryptography problem. apart from the legal indications, there is also the philosophical debate about if you have not got

anything to hide, why would you be worried about it. that is worse when it comes to. some people are on one side, others are not. in the united states, we have had that of a prolonged time. it goes back to the bill of rights, it is about protecting privacy and not being up to walk into people's houses or businesses without a warrant. so even the united states is upset about this. so we have a ready had this debate in liberal democracies about whether you can spy on people without cause. how damaging is this, this information from wiki leaks, because we have talked about, as you have said, we've had this debate discussion before, and it came to be public knowledge that the us was listening to conversations of people like angela merkel, for example. we seem like angela merkel, for example. we seem to have gotten over that, and

moved on. will we just move on from this? or will this have an impact on what the cia does the future? you raise an interesting question about privacy, and obviously espionage is one of the most ancient professions. but it is morgan to be interesting is the response of the corporations who produce the products. so the ethical issue is if the cia knew about the so—called zero day issues, this is where the company is do not have any time to work on bugs, to fix them. the question is allowing default abilities to exist in products they can exploit them. that has other implications for cyber security risks, right? so people are using... this is the problem. when you are carrying around your smart phone, now, you are effectively carrying around your computer. you could be doing all sorts of things, like your corporate information could be on there. it is notjust you chatting with your mum. you can be chatting with your boss or your

client. so it would be interesting to see what apple says and what google says. samsung had already warned its customers that they had to be careful about talking because the voice activation component of their television can pick up and record conversations within your home. selby interesting for the indications for things like you want to have a smart homes do you want to be listened to? maybe you don't have anything to hide, but it might not be that you want to show everything, again. i think the bigger applications will be for business. yes. voice activated apps seem to be the thing that are particularly vulnerable. 0k, soap in the gulf news, we have the malaysia and north korea spat. north korea started out, and malaysia retaliated. does it seem that every action that north korea is taking after this, it is that they have signed a height? this

is an extraordinary story. —— something to hide. we had this murder in the kuala lumpur airport to reason. the idea that would not be investigated is riposte is. we are talking about a potential nerve agent they could have affected other people. what is the risk of this happening again? —— investigated is ridiculous. and now there are people out in officials being held effectively hostage in north korea. the question is how this will be resolved. malaysia was one of these countries that have rallied to promote relations with north korea. so the indications are that, this is not going to go away soon. —— one of the countries that manage to have positive relations with north korea. perry about them stuck in the compound in column four, this goes back to the story ofjulian aside. people caught out in embassies. and a debit really gets resolved. how long will this go on? if we have to wait five years before someone comes

out of the embassy, or maybe not? the financial times, of course they have the wiki leaks story as well. —— wikileaks. they also highlight the chinese national people's congress and future policy and what will be done there. and this idea that the chinese government want to create national champions in ten high—tech manufacturing sectors. and europe immediately concerned about what that means. they get nervous because i think it is really important thrust remember that china has a very different kind of competition model if you want to get access to china. they will demand that you hand over your technology. so you are handing over your crown jewels, effectively, in able to —— to be able to play and compete in china. the problem is that the chinese companies and the government will take that technology and then with you in the world market. sea can understand where a lot of

european companies are saying we cannot do the same things. this is not an equal competition. that is really concerning. —— so you can see. you can drive european companies out of business. and then to get into china again, other international companies asked to subsidise, for instance, make local reduces battery powered cars. this could violate decrees of the world trade could lack organisation. they could take years to resolve.|j trade could lack organisation. they could take years to resolve. i think it is fascinating. but look, this is just incredible. so this was an ipsos mori bulk that was included —— poll that included thousands of people from countries all over the world. and one in five people from around the world say that women are inferior to men. i have two daughters, and then actually stunned about. what is fascinating first of all is that half of those polled in

china, russia, and asia, that are saying that men are superior to women. so part of the statistic there has to be treated with caution. because in some countries and cultures, women are treated more equally. in others, they have not evolved quite as well, which is what we would like to see, quality. i think there is a little bit of trolling, because there is something here about eight saudi general boxer. and she is kicking a heavy punching bag and looking pretty fit. soi punching bag and looking pretty fit. so i kind of like that. but we are talking about the gender pay gap. —— a saudi. this is, the matter matter is that countries that do not get women into the workforce in equal numbers and earning as much will fall behind. so i think this attitude is increasingly going to be one that countries cannot afford to have. sexism is not economically efficient. absolutely. it hinders a

country. well put. i don't think i have anything to say. you have 30 seconds to talk about robot doctors. this is an exciting story. this is about forgetting your gp, the robot will see you now. it says that no human brain can hold the 300 million pieces of knowledge and does that adbi fatah dini system. —— data. and thatis adbi fatah dini system. —— data. and that is true. —— of knowledge that are fed into these systems. you can have a conversation with a human, work it out, figure it out...|j think we always need to have technology pad with humans. the fact that we can put away with humans? i don't think it should happen, could happen... thank you very much indeed. hello, there. good morning. tuesday was a decent day for the eastern side of the uk.

we've seen more cloud, though, coming in from the west, and all our weather is coming in from off the atlantic at the moment, all this cloud spilling across the uk. it's driven by an area of low pressure that's running between iceland and scotland, with these weather fronts too. the rain across the northern half of the uk is running across fairly quickly, but to the south, things grind to a halt towards the end of the night. so after the rain across the northern half of the uk we get some showers rattling into the north—west of scotland early on in the morning, and again, there could be a bit of snow across the mountains. there'll be a strong wind, gales probably for northern scotland. by the morning, sunshine is out across northern ireland, and the cloud continuing to break up across northern england, brightening up quite nicely as that rain is out into the north sea. but across east anglia, southern england, perhaps the south midlands, mid and south wales, we've got more cloud. quite low cloud, quite mild. but there will be some rain in the air as well. it's never really going to clear away for much of the day. rain on and off across mid and south wales, perhaps the midlands, east anglia, and southern england.

much more sunshine, though, arriving across north wales, northern england, northern ireland, and it is quite windy here in scotland, again, across the north and there will still be a few of those sharp showers. temperatures will be that bit lower. highest temperatures probably in the south—east, where we have all that cloud and the threat of rain. still some rain around across southern parts of england and wales on wednesday evening. that rain eventually transfers southwards into the english channel. but to the north, we'll see the showers pepping up again across northern ireland and then into scotland, again, there could be some snow over the high hills. a drop in temperature later in the night perhaps in northern ireland, scotland, north—east england but nothing too cold out there. as we head into thursday, though, showers across scotland become fewer and lighter, largely confined to the north—east as the wind eases down. for many places, thursday will be a dry day, some sunshine around. more cloud, though, towards the south and south—west, with that rain sitting through the channel, and it threatens to come back northwards again overnight and into friday on a fairly weak weather front taking rain across the northern half of the uk primarily. and then behind that weather system, we're drawing in our air

from a long way south. so this is really quite mild air, but it's going to be accompanied by a good deal of cloud. so little if any sunshine around on friday. but the uk at least, not much rain at all and temperatures as high as 13 or 14 degrees. now, as we head into the weekend it looks pretty unsettled, at least to start with. outbreaks of rain on saturday. quite a mild day as well. getting more showery on sunday, but then temperatures beginning to slip away later on. hello, this is breakfast, with dan walker and louise minchin. the chancellor prepares for his first budget, with an upbeat message on the economy. there is expected to be extra money for social care, but there will be few other giveaways. all this week i have been hearing from different generations about what they want from the budget. today we are talking to the post—war

baby boomers and beyond so i am at a retirement village in bournville. good morning, it is wednesday 8 march. also this morning: lord heseltine is sacked as a government advisor after rebelling in a vote over brexit.
