prince harry has been meeting well—wishers outside windsor castle, where he'll be marrying meghan markle tomorrow. the american actress and her mother doria have arrived at the hotel where they'll spend the night. the couple will wed at noon local time at st george's chapel in the castle. more than 100 people have died in a plane crash near hava na's international airport. three people have survived and are seriously injured. witnesses say the boeing 737 ran into problems shortly after take off and plunged into agricultural land next to the airport, catching fire on impact. a shooting at a high school in texas has left ten people dead and ten others wounded. the suspect, who is a 17—year—old student at the school in santa fe, has been arrested and charged with murder. he allegedly used a shotgun and a revolver from his father, who legally owned the weapons. now on bbc news it's time to click. it's time to pull the plug.

for the past decade, we've had our heads in our phones and our personal data in the cloud. on social networks posted by websites in other countries as status updates. and it has not gone well. as big businesses have repeatedly abused our trust. in 2013, all 3 billion of yahoo! ‘s uses 2013, all 3 billion of yahoo! ‘s uses data was komru miah is in a

hack. but it was kept secret from the victims for three years —— promotes. there were fined by the eu commission for using our data to push their own shopping comparison service. and no one is impressed with what cambridge analytica did after sucking up facebook users because data and that of their friends through and out. for many of us, all this data hoovering and harvesting has been done with very little transparency or accountability as to why, how, or what they are going to do with these things. well, this week click is taking a stand and saying it has all got to stop. sorry, can we try that again. it's. click, is it? this week, at the european union is taking a stand and saying it has all got to stop. enough is enough. good people, the time has come to reclaim our online lives. reclaim

oui’ reclaim our online lives. reclaim our personal data, let us not be fooled into handing it all over because we are cheated or tricked or given no choice. if you are with me, rise up and say no. know more! good. i think they got the message. in a few days we will have the tools to fight back, wherever our data springs up. this friday the biggest shakeup of springs up. this friday the biggest sha keup of data springs up. this friday the biggest shakeup of data protection laws for more than 20 years comes into force. it is the european union's general data protection regulation or gdpr. and it affects everyone who does business with people living in europe. and given the global nature of the internet these days that pretty much means everyone. so far you might have encountered gdpr through all those e—mails you have been receiving asking you to resubscribe to mailing lists, but lots more is changing than that come friday, and lara lewington has the

highlights. the gdpr affects the big internet players in the eu, but also smaller organisations and aims to protect users because personal data. at its heart it requires everyone to design data protection into their offerings, with privacy settings too high by default. heard this before? all calls are recorded for training and security purposes. well, that may not be adequate under the gdpr, which states you must actively give your consent, rather than it be assumed and that you can withdraw that consent at any time. so in this case the company needs to wipe that call recording if you ask them to. eu citizens get the right to access their personal data and also find out who the company has shared it with and how they got it in the first place. if it was acquired in a dodgy way you can ask the company to

delete it as well is any data that affects your fundamental rights. and the data must be deleted anyway if it is no longer being used so companies can't just hoard information on us for the sake of it. if it all goes wrong and the company fails to keep our data safe, then they must report the breach and tell us within 72 hours. know more keeping it hushed up. and if an organisation doesn't follow the rules, it can be fined up to 20 million euros, or as much as 4% of its annual worldwide turnover. for facebook that would be a whopping 100 times that 20 million euros figure. there are two moore writes that gdpr introduces. ever been frustrated when this happens... computer says no. from now on you will have the right to an explanation is an algorithm is left to make a decision about you. and you should be able to easily take

the personal data stored about you to give it to another company, should you wish to change service or social network. but how workable these last two points will be in practice remains to be seen. so that's out the new data rules are supposed to work. now we will go into more detail with dan simmons. so for a thing most of the concern has been around social networks and the apps that sit on top of social networks hoovering up all our data. but you have been looking at something else, that we use every day, that might be even more guilty. do you know what sort of data your browser holds about you? my search history, may address, i would browser holds about you? my search history, may address, iwould have thought. credit card details. maybe your ccd number, perhaps. the amount of personal information in a browser is unparalleled in so far as any other is kept on your computer. how it reflects on which were thinking and what you are doing. this man has

built a tool that can see everything your browser knows about you and you might be surprised. in many cases he says it is not very well protected, something the gdpr would not look too kindly on. so what is out there about us and what can others see? i visited the top cows and most popular websites globally and saw what information they stored about you in your browser. one of the things they store is geolocation information. if you go where cyber—stalking or cyber bullying are about, you might know where they live on the coffee shop they frequent, they pop up there quite often, having knowledge of where someone often, having knowledge of where someone is physically can open them up someone is physically can open them up to hold different attacks. his new toy can be delivered in a simple fishing attack. one missed it placed click and he can find what would he have been searching on. so have a brain dump of what you have been doing or thinking. with a! he thinks this could be enough to help swing a

purchase or a vote. there is a thing for a login. users save their login... that is for a login. users save their login. .. that is not your password. not any more. it was at one point. so the browser has your passport password. anyone storing information must take steps to keep it safe. he didn't hack facebook, though, he hacked the browser. in a similar vein we have the automobile entries. these are basically things that a user types in web forms and the browser help let us remember these for you. when you leave the browser, doesn't it get rid of that so that it is not available for a hacker to get older was no no, in general the browser keeps as information stored so browser keeps as information stored so that when you open up your browser again it can helpfully suggest the things you have already typed. let us look at what we already have on the screen here. we have e—mail address, fair enough, but we have what looks to me, possibly, a home address. there is one form called security question,

mother's maiden. and you have an answer. and this can be pulled from any browser. basically. iwill go one further, bank accounts, do we have details of people's bank accounts? yes, if you type the information in the form the browser can information in the form the browser ca n ca ptu re information in the form the browser can capture it for you. and that is protected in any way. most websites have an extra level of protection rate credit card numbers, if they can figure out it is a critic of, but that is to defeat. can you glean something like somebody‘s ccd number on the back of the credit card severely yes, yes. browsers tried to identify credit cards are severally -- ccv full. identify credit cards are severally —— ccv full. and found ccv numbers stored in the same way that you can stored in the same way that you can store your first name. and stored in the same way that you can store yourfirst name. and doing this to show just store yourfirst name. and doing this to showjust how easy it is to hack your data out of your brains for all what your browser knows about you —— browser. for all what your browser knows about you -- browser. both. he

thinks most people don't know about this huge wealth of very personal data that the browser has. and these new regulations coming in next friday will help people find that out. just to be clear, a lot of browsers already have a security setting you can turn on that will block a lot of this tracking and auto form filling domain. they do. there are options in there that you can go into settings and change. when i was in san francisco i decided to drop in on one of the big browser companies out there to get a us take on the new regulations. browsers are fundamentally an agent for you and me. when a browser doesn't help you make decisions we don't think it is doing enough work. they're not for profit mazzella runs browser firefox. the status quo on the internet right now isn't healthy. it needs to change. it is through legislation that looks like gdpr and it benefits individuals, individuals control further

information is a tractor with, that is better for the internet overall. one way to give us more control is firefox‘s recently introduced add—on race book container to stop the social network tracking us. when you use facebook it keeps all of the data that is being interacted with, your data, the cookie information, insider facebook. so when you leave the tab that you are interacting with facebook in you won't get those creepy ads that follow you around all over the internet. but will these must be enough under the new gdpr? tweaking privity options gives us more gdpr? tweaking privity options gives us more choice, but will all browsers need to go further? —— privacy. these options are offered by other companies as were. they're often difficult to find. how many people do actually use the don't track? it is a good percentage and it has been increasing quite a bit. is it majority or minority. it is a minority but it has grown.|j

is it majority or minority. it is a minority but it has grown. i am taking from that not many people switch these privacy features on. they don't. i asked for clarification on a minority of users. and they say a low percentage. that is not good then.|j am assuming that under gdpr is to make sure they are turned on by default. the regulations as high privacy by default. it was a that is where we are going by this. but they also use cookies that live outside the browser to personalise the browsing experience. can't we personalise that? you remember the personalising hack i did with ryan, the interesting thing then it was that most of that information is unencrypted. it seems that websites are preferring to leave the information inside the browser rather than take responsibility for locking it up in a separate cookie and having destroyed themselves. i have been speaking to a security expert who has headed up security in big banks like credit suisse, like deutsche bank, like most recently

ba rclays deutsche bank, like most recently barclays bank, and he has a theory about why that might be happening. the suspicion has to be that this is actually link to the gdpr rules, that organisations feel that if they hold the date in their own databases they then need to put an entire management flew around it to control that date. but if they send it to the browser and request the browser to send it back every time the user connects, it is no longer best to manage. 0k, what do people do if they are not happy about the way they are not happy about the way they think their data is being handled. if they want to complain any to do it to that national data protection authority, in the uk it is the ico. steve is not a big fan of the asio. he does not think they will be ready come the big day when the new revelation comes into force on friday. the general public is very unhappy with the way their data is being used at the moment. i think there is a likelihood that lots of people are just waiting for gdpr to come in and enable one to take some action. i think my concern is that

the ico isn't really ready for this at the moment. strong words they are from steve. let us put those two nigel holton from the information commissioner ‘s office. do you have enough resources to actually enforce gdpr? we certainly do. we are ready and have been preparing for this for and have been preparing for this for a couple of years now. we know what we wa nt a couple of years now. we know what we want to achieve and we want to get the message out to the public that we are better protect their rights and get the message out to organisations that they need to abide by the laws which aren't meant to punish them, by any means. they are there to help them strengthen their credibility with the public. we deal with a of cases. our status has increased by about 70 or 80 people —— our start. we are getting ready to recruit another 100 and the people every similar period. we know there will be more complaints. what kind of approach are you going to ta ke to kind of approach are you going to take to enforcing and punishing? be ico has always been pragmatic. the commissioner has been of the opinion

that encouragement and education is the way to go. we would rather use the way to go. we would rather use the carrot than the stick. as to this talk of big fines, it is nonsense. that is not what the ico is about. that is not the way we wa nt to is about. that is not the way we want to work. those types of sanctions will be for the most wilful, deliberate, and continuous companies that flout the laws and regulations. do you think this is going to breed a new era of scrapping the rules, gaming the system ? a new era of scrapping the rules, gaming the system? they won't get away with it. you asked me about recruitment, one of the things i'm looking at shortly doing is recruiting artificial intelligence to look at deliberately at algorithms, particularly on paper ones, and how we can investigate and build frameworks around to order them properly so we are well aware of what is coming and we are prepared for it. hello and welcome

to the week in tech. it was the week that facebook confirmed that mark zuckerberg would meet members of the european parliament to discuss privacy concerns and the fallout from the cambridge analytica scandal. microsoft showed off their adaptive controller. an xbox console controller designed for disabled gamers. the device features two large buttons and 19 ports to accommodate extra devices is due to go on sale later this year. and the vatican provided social media advice to nuns. asking them to engage in an online news and social media with discretion and sobriety. it was also the week that boston dynamics showed off its new robot, going for a job. but for thejob. it off its new robot, going for a job. but for the job. it also announced its mini will go on sale in 2019. and if those who don't want to look after an actual dog. and finally, if your main problem with the idea of han solo film is a lack of certain scruffy looking harrison ford, then

the photographer has digitally swapped the iconic ford. interesting if not a little scary. two words— nicolas cage. the new european data laws will affect everyone from this friday. and simply getting prepared for them has taken over the lives of many people in all walks of life. it was last summer we first started to hear about them and hadn't got a clue how important they would be, why they would matter, if they would matter. a growing sense of oh, gosh, this is quite a big thing and it applies to us quite a big thing and it applies to us and we're going to have to do quite a lot of work around it. it is important in the sense that we hold all what of sensitive data about children and families. it is a responsibility we have always had

and we have always taken seriously. we don't feel we have an accurate picture of exactly the minimum standard we need to be meeting, we have to decide that, i very much feel the responsibility of getting it all right and i don't know that i will ever know the sure if we have done enough and i read one article that estimated it was a three day a weekjob, this data protection, offers a role in a large school. that is impossible to find, you know, that is not feasible, so we have to think about how we can realistically manage the workload without it impacting them. well, thatis without it impacting them. well, that is a lot of work for people who, quite frankly, already have a dayjob. who, quite frankly, already have a day job. exactly. most firms will need to have or pointed at a protection officer. right. this is where it gets interesting. i've been speaking to a number of security firms who reckon there could be a new form of cyber attack ace in the confusion that businesses have around how to be compliant with

gdpr, especially given as 20 million you refined. take a look at this. although it will help companies defend themselves that also brings out the new possible way of attacking them by basically forcing them to pay a ransom fee so for example if i broke into a company and stole information from them they have a couple of choices, i could sell won the money or give it back to the company and say unless you give me £100,000 i will publish as inflation on the incident and force you to pay a fine your gdpr non— regulation. that is an awful thought. yes, it is, isn't it? there area thought. yes, it is, isn't it? there are a lot of good players but also a lot of bad players looking at the new regulation and seeing how it will hit. a lot depends on how the regional and national data protection authorities choose to interpret these new rules, that will be key. good point, thank you, dan, get it this way, i will go this way because as dan said gdpr is not all upside. this is robert coalville. he is the director of free—market think

tank. you think there are problems with gdpr as well, don't you? it is supposed to pull these large american firms into line. what is wrong with that? irony is that the only people who can cope with the perfectly well are the large american firms, partly because they can american firms, partly because they ca n afford american firms, partly because they can afford large legal departments and public of it in somewhere deep in the moat around them, people who are in the moat around them, people who a re really in the moat around them, people who are really struggling with this hall and medium—sized businesses. are really struggling with this hall and medium-sized businesses. earlier we looked at how artificial intelligence had also combing through the tons and tons of data that they are. i mean, surely we need something like gdpr so we get to find out what is going on inside the black box, how the algorithm has made that very important decision about us. data has a value, the fact that i want to have a chinese meal at the moment and i am searching for that isn't terribly interesting, the fa ct that isn't terribly interesting, the fact that i tend to like chinese restau ra nts fact that i tend to like chinese restaurants is slightly more interesting, the fact that people of my age and type you living this sort of area tend to like chinese food and then in 20 years time i going to

die ofa and then in 20 years time i going to die of a heart attack because they like chinese food is valuable and that you can only get by smashing together really quite a lot of data in the make that gdpr makes it harder to do. robert, thank you for your time. that is the view of a sceptic but now we are going to look at how gdpr could work. in the future. lara lewington has been checking out some new transparent innovative solutions. think about data as the ingredients of the cake. in isolation, neither useful lord to valuable. but combine them just right and you have baked something worth biting into. the trouble is most of us don't want to hand over all of our data on a plate. so maybe it is time that we take ownership. this company hopes to help us do just that, collating the data from the apps and services we use, you can see it clearly within the apple now device and an encrypted copy is stored on the cloud of our choosing.

so think of it like this, the services that we use the most are going to have the largest slices of our data, so that could be google or facebook. and then, the information collected from, say, our activity trackers would provide smaller pieces. digi.me believes if we are in control of our data, we may be willing to share more slices. so the companies accessing it would get a more accurate picture of us and at the same time, we get to a proved exactly what we are sharing and withdrew. the everything we do in the future requires more data. you are the only person in the world who can bring all of that data together about you. the only place it can come together. so if you want to do more with our data, which we do, we wa nt to more with our data, which we do, we want to have personalised medicine, recommendations, then we need to bring the data together and businesses need to be able to ask us. businesses need to be able to ask us. but it is not private companies that we share so with. lara has

volunteered to install sensors in her office hoping to reduce noise in her office hoping to reduce noise in her neighbourhood. the council collect the data from a number of months, before agreeing a gp at the would decrease traffic, thus noise pollution in the area. sharing data can be very powerful, for example, if we all shared our health data we could find cures to many diseases, new treatments, but the problem is whether that data can be exploited by others for means that you didn't foresee. now, i want by others for means that you didn't foresee. now, iwant to by others for means that you didn't foresee. now, i want to shayrat on own terms. the barcelona council has partnered with decode, a body that aims fora partnered with decode, a body that aims for a more transparent way of sharing data. through its platform residents can see the day to the city has lament and crucially, who has access to it. so they can set permissions as they see fit. we want to move the world where the data is decentralised, citizens have proper

sovereignty and ownership and they can collectively share the data, create data commons, with their terms and condition to access the data. this is what we call social rights to data. and if we are in control of our data, then why not try to make some money out of it ourselves? data on any habit has its value. even your water intake. datum isa value. even your water intake. datum is a service that would you share reached directly with the research company for a bit of dosh in return. the worst of all of our smart device information could really add up. the all these fledging ideas may allow for both the personalised services and the control over our privacy that we desire. it was lara and that is gdpr all wrapped up. now i guess we alljust have to wait and see how it all pans out from friday onwards. don't forget if you get in touch

with those on the end twitter too, we live at @bbcclick. thank you for watching. we will see you soon. hello there. we ended the week on a lovely note, thanks to this big area of high pressure which will still be with us during the weekend and for many of us into next week as well. weather watcher photos pouring through of the glorious sunset up and down the uk. you can see how beautiful the skies were to end friday. as we head on into the weekend we are going to see more of the same for many of us, strong sunshine and a bit warmer as well. as we head into the early hours of saturday there will be a bit more cloud across northern and western parts of scotland. more of a breeze here as well. not too bad with temperatures around double figures, i think, for most.

further south, particularly in eastern areas, it is going to be another chilly start to saturday, maybe even a touch of grass frost in places and also a bit of mist and fog too. there is a big area of high pressure with us to start the weekend. keeping these weather fronts at bay for now, until we reach sunday. a glorious—looking day for the royal wedding in windsor. a bit of cloud around, temperatures should rise with your strong sunshine. it's looking pretty good for the scottish cup final and the fa cup final, with temperatures reaching 19 or 20 celsius. this is the picture for saturday. you can see there is plenty of cloud in the sky to start the day across england, wales and southern scotland. high cloud developing here and there which could make the sunshine hazy at times. across the north—west corner of scotland is where we will see the thickest of the cloud, so temperatures will be 15 or 16 at best. eastern scotland, 20 degrees, england and wales looking at 21 or 22. that area of high pressure shifts further east. it will influence the weather across much of england and wales, but these weather fronts will be allowed to push in across northern

ireland and much of scotland. we will see more of a breeze and outbreaks of rain, particularly across north—western scotland. the north—east of scotland shouldn't be too bad, with some sunshine. elsewhere across the country, another fine—looking day, with top temperatures of 22 or maybe 23 degrees, and lots of low cloud across the far south—east, but that should burn up as you go north up the coast. on monday, this weather front across parts of northern ireland and northern and western scotland will stay put. persistent rain there. elsewhere, a fine day once again. good sunny spells, but a few sharp showers or thunderstorms developing across southern areas later on in the day as temperatures reach highs of 23 or maybe 2a celsius. that weather front will continue to plague much of scotland and northern ireland for the week ahead. high pressure will dominate the scene elsewhere. plenty of warm sunshine but always the threat of heavy showers. welcome to bbc news, broadcasting to viewers in north america on pbs and around the globe — my name is nkem ifejika.
