2:47 am
fiji gave the australians a scare in their opening game on saturday, but ended up losing. they need to beat uruguay to stand any chance of reaching the quarterfinals from a group that also includes wales. wednesday's match is being played in the small town of kamaishi where over 1,000 people died in the 2011 tsunami. to think of what happened when they had the tsunami, and to see, as i said, the redevelopment going on, it's quite incredible. i believe rugby's. .. you know, it's bigger than the game and it is important for our team to interact with the community. now, all this week on sport today, we're building towards the world athletics championships in doha, which get underway on friday. we'll have exclusive interviews with some of the stars from around the world, who are set to challenge for medals. we start with three long and middle distance runners. they're all from norway and they're all from one extraordinary family — jakub, filip and henrik ingebritzen. what does it mean to be an ingebritzen? um...
2:48 am
we're bad losers. super focused. jakub is really the running progeny. henrik is a loud person. —— prodigy. henrik is a loud person. filip only cares about himself. selfish. the relaxed guy. but in a good way. before the ingebritzen family were running, it was you that was the superstar. for me, i didn't really focus on anything other than just running as fast as i could and, of course, at that point, i was doing it by myself. it was quite lonely, but of course it's better now to have company. the best people in the country are all under one roof. how has that been? before we were, like, the best guys in norway, we were all training the same way, trying to push each other
2:49 am
to be better. we had big goals and wanted to achieve things and really enjoy the sport. it's strange but for me it was just the normal life. that's the only thing i knew, i wanted to race as fast as them and i wanted to beat them and of course if they're some of the best runners in the world, you will also be one. are they still your brothers or are you trying to beat them? i think it's always in the back of your mind. i don't want to ruin their race to give myself a better opportunity in the competition. i always feel like a responsibility for my younger brothers, to help them and to, you know, guide them a little bit. being beaten by filip and jakub in competition doesn't matter that much. i love to race, i love to compete, but most of all, i love to win. for me, that's all that matters. if we fast forward to doha, what would be success for you? if we all reached the final, i think we could be happy as a team. all of us are dreaming about medals. let's get you a comprehensive update

with offending words automatically deleted, indeed, in some countries, this happens today. digital authoritarianism is not alas the stuff of dystopian fantasy, but of an emerging reality. the reason i am giving this speech today with its slightly gloomy programme is that the uk is one of the world's tech leaders, and i believe governments have been simply caught unawares by the unintended consequences of the internet, a scientific breakthrough far more reaching in its everyday psychological impact than any other invention since gutenberg, and when you consider how long it took for books to come into widespread circulation, the arrival of the internet is far bigger than print, far bigger than the atomic age, but it is like nuclear power in that it is capable of both good and harm, and of course it is not alone. as
