4:42 am
the details must remain secret, but after weeks of investigation, jane says she has solved this case, finally bringing closure to the terms' grieving family. —— to the victims grieving family. in a country where there is significant distrust of the police private investigators can play an important role in securing justice. can play an important role in securingjustice. but can play an important role in securing justice. but how powerful have they become? by working with government and the police, jane is able to access huge amounts of normally private data. mobile phone call logs, text message history and banking records. so the issue of privacy, because everyone has their right to their own privacy. has their right to their own riva . , has their right to their own privacy.- where i has their right to their own privacy.- where is i has their right to their own privacy. yes. where is that line? when _ privacy. yes. where is that line? when it _ privacy. yes. where is that line? when it comes i privacy. yes. where is that line? when it comes to i privacy. yes. where is that- line? when it comes to privacy ou line? when it comes to privacy you have _ line? when it comes to privacy you have it _ line? when it comes to privacy you have it personally, - line? when it comes to privacy you have it personally, but i line? when it comes to privacy you have it personally, but if. you have it personally, but if you have it personally, but if you are a criminal, what

4:44 am
of individuals. one of the companies we approached was nairobi —based silva edge investigators. their website advertises a range of dubious services including mobile spying. the pictures of their team are fake, lifted from stock photos online. we wanted to test if they would be willing to break the law and breech people's privacy. so we sent an undercover journalist to meet with them. she poses a potential client, a woman who suspected her husband was cheating. martin told her he could hack her husband's phone after installing so—called spy software. he said he could
4:45 am
access the husband's bank transactions as well. the things he is willing to do are completely illegal, and it is troubling because private investigators are actually meant to be solving crimes, not seemingly willing to commit a crime. itjust shows you how broken this system is. the operative asked if it would be possible to honey trap the husband in order to capture incriminating photos. martin, again, said that he could.
4:46 am
martin's price for the whole package, hacking a phone, a bank account, social media profiles and a honey trap was just under $3000. all these actions are illegal here in kenya. i am slowly beginning to realise why some people believe that this industry is out of control. we restart to paul mwangi and silver edge for comment but they did not respond to our allegations against them. i want to know what seniorfigures in against them. i want to know what senior figures in the security world feel about jane

others have had had wintry weather, particularly in scotland. heading to the weekend and beyond, colder weatherfall weekend and beyond, colder weather fall parts of the uk, and further disruptive snow in the forecast. not everywhere will see it. we have heavy snow on sunday in eastern england. it is because low pressure is becoming established to the south—east of the uk, opening the doors for these cold easterly winds to pile in from scandinavia, bringing not only the cold weather but also significant snow and some strong winds as well. for the here and now the heaviest of the snow is across parts of scotland, with an amber warning in place for parts on saturday. up in place for parts on saturday. up to 50cm of the highest ground. disruption in parts of scotland with snowfall continuing. it will ease away on saturday later on. increasingly it will fall to lower levels across parts of scotland and falling over the higher ground of northern england as well. further south, heavy rain showers, mother air

4:58 am
perhaps a heavier and more prolonged spell of snow for east anglia and the south—east of england. temperatures only a degree or to either side of freezing, but with the easterly wind, it will feel bitterly cold. it will feel around minus eight degrees in norwich on monday. moving through into tuesday, no grey changes. we still have the easterly wind. the heaviest of the snow could be further north by we get to tuesday. forthe be further north by we get to tuesday. for the parts of scotland, wales as well. in the south, cloudy and cold as well with temperatures struggling to get above freezing, particularly where you see the lying snow. disruptive conditions through the middle part of the week. heavy showers for eastern england. some changes about the exact distribution and timing are to come, so keep your highs on the forecast. but certainly cold and disruptive snow into the middle of the week. next week
