:22:03. > :22:04.he must come here and give evidence on behalf of himself

:23:25. > :23:27.Security experts say criminals can disable the alarm and unlock
:23:28. > :23:30.the vehicle, and an urgent security update is essential.
:23:31. > :23:37.Our technology correspondent Rory Cellan-Jones has the story.

:23:43. > :23:51.Among them, a smartphone app that controls some of its functions.
:23:52. > :23:55.But one expert says the car is not secure.
:23:56. > :23:58.He's found that the Wi-Fi network on which the app depends
:23:59. > :24:01.Most cars use 3G, so they talk to the manufacturer's
:24:02. > :24:03.servers, the manufacturer talks to your phone.
:24:04. > :24:08.Unfortunately, this one uses Wi-Fi, so I can link my phone
:24:09. > :24:15.Unfortunately, the Wi-Fi key isn't strong enough.
:24:16. > :24:18.That means an intruder could switch on the lights or, more
:24:19. > :24:22.So, your colleague with a laptop has now hacked it, he's
:24:23. > :24:33.I can get in, though I'd still need to programme a key to drive away.
:24:34. > :24:36.But isn't this rather a remote threat?
:24:37. > :24:39.I'd say it's a ?15 piece of Wi-Fi kit you need to crack the key
:24:40. > :24:46.Because these Mitsubishis use this system, their locations can be
:24:47. > :24:49.tracked on a public site which maps Wi-Fi networks.
:24:50. > :24:52.Mitsubishi told us, "We take this matter very seriously."
:24:53. > :24:55.But, the company said, while it was obviously disturbing
:24:56. > :24:57.and would be investigated, there was limited effect
:24:58. > :25:03.If you haven't got one of these clever connected cars,
:25:04. > :25:07.But in a few years' time, just about every new car
:25:08. > :25:10.sold in the UK is likely to have an internet connection
:25:11. > :25:14.That will mean cyber security will be just as important
:25:15. > :25:20.Last year, researchers showed they could take control of a Jeep,
:25:21. > :25:22.even disabling the brakes - more proof that hackers could prove
:25:23. > :25:32.I think we need to be careful with a connected car.
:25:33. > :25:34.Obviously with hackers, we've seen it in the past,
:25:35. > :25:37.people can get into mobile phone devices, they can get into our cars
:25:38. > :25:41.now, maybe stealing data or maybe even controlling what they do
:25:42. > :25:44.Meanwhile, for worried Mitsubishi owners, there is a simple,
:25:45. > :25:50.They just need to disconnect the app and turn off the Wi-Fi network.

:26:10. > :26:17.It wasn't planned, but then the best parties never are.
:26:18. > :26:19.This was the moment Northern Ireland's manager
:26:20. > :26:21.knew they had qualified for the European Championship
:26:22. > :26:27.Before flying out to France, Michael O'Neill told me of his pride
:26:28. > :26:32.It's an incredible achievement for the group of players,
:26:33. > :26:37.not only to qualify but to go there as group winners as well.
:26:38. > :26:41.I think the sense of optimism and euphoria
:26:42. > :26:43.in Northern Ireland is down to the fact that people
:26:44. > :26:51.We're not Brazil, we're Northern Ireland - Michael O'Neill!
:26:52. > :26:53.Their achievement has put O'Neill in the spotlight.
:26:54. > :26:57.But his award-winning career in management nearly didn't happen.
:26:58. > :27:01.When he retired from playing, he became a financial advisor.
:27:02. > :27:04.That changed one day in a department store, ten years ago.
:27:05. > :27:06.We were in Edinburgh, on a Saturday afternoon,
:27:07. > :27:10.My wife and I were looking at jumpers or something
:27:11. > :27:15.I just felt like there was something...
:27:16. > :27:18.I thought, it's Saturday afternoon, I shouldn't be here,
:27:19. > :27:22.this isn't what I've spent my life doing on Saturday afternoons.
:27:23. > :27:24.O'Neill took a part-time job at Cowdenbeath before
:27:25. > :27:26.building his reputation at Brechin City in the
:27:27. > :27:33.When he took them into Europe on limited resources,
:27:34. > :27:37.Northern Ireland decided he was the man for them.
:27:38. > :27:39.Northern Ireland may be rank outsiders, but they arrive
:27:40. > :27:46.here in France as the tournament's form team, on a 12-game unbeaten run
:27:47. > :27:48.that's given this squad a real sense of belief.
:27:49. > :27:52.O'Neill has managed to change results without changing the squad.
:27:53. > :27:54.We just go that extra mile, just for him,
:27:55. > :28:02.This is his reward, at the end of the day, obviously.
:28:03. > :28:04.Their first taste of the tournament comes on Sunday against Poland.
:28:05. > :28:08.Ukraine and world champions Germany are next.
:28:09. > :28:10.You know, it's taken me ten years to get here,
:28:11. > :28:12.and it's been ten years of hard work.
:28:13. > :28:14.But it's immensely rewarding, when you get the opportunity
:28:15. > :28:18.to lead your country to a major tournament.
:28:19. > :28:21.And, if Northern Ireland continue to defy expectations,
:28:22. > :28:24.O'Neill may struggle to stay under the radar much longer.
:28:25. > :28:32.The playwright Sir Peter Shaffer, described as one of the greats
:28:33. > :28:36.of British theatre, has died at the age of 90.
:28:37. > :28:40.He enjoyed success in the UK and on Broadway, with plays
:28:41. > :28:43.including Equus and Amadeus, his drama about the composers Mozart
:28:44. > :28:47.and Salieri which was turned into an Oscar winning film.
:28:48. > :28:51.Our arts editor Will Gompertz looks back at his life and career.
:28:52. > :28:57.A scene from Equus, Peter Shaffer's 1973 play about a teenage boy
:28:58. > :29:02.who blinded six horses with a metal spike.
:29:03. > :29:06.This way and that way, his neck comes out of my body...
:29:07. > :29:09.It had huge success on both sides of the Atlantic but not
:29:10. > :29:13.The playwright said it caused a scandal in the UK
:29:14. > :29:16.because it was cruel to animals and a scandal in America because it
:29:17. > :29:22.Tragedy is not for me a conflict between...
:29:23. > :29:24.Or for anybody, I suspect, between demonstrable right
:29:25. > :29:29.It is a collision between two different kinds of right.
:29:30. > :29:39.I think that is what I was trying to do in Equus.
:29:40. > :29:41.I think each of them is incomplete and damaged.
:29:42. > :29:44.I look at pictures of centaurs trampling the soil of Argos
:29:45. > :29:46.and outside my window, that boy's trying to become one
:29:47. > :29:50.In 1977, his screenplay of Equus for a film starring Richard Burton
:29:51. > :30:00.He stands for an hour in the dark, sucking the sweat of
:30:01. > :30:06.Many of Peter Shaffer's plays were given their premiere
:30:07. > :30:08.at the National Theatre, including Amadeus in 1979,
:30:09. > :30:10.his tale about the rivalry between composers Antonio
:30:11. > :30:12.Salieri and Mozart, who was played by Simon Callow.
:30:13. > :30:15.It was a sensational experience because it was a very
:30:16. > :30:19.Many people were very, very shocked by it but Peter's
:30:20. > :30:22.brilliance was that he shocked them and then he made them fall in love
:30:23. > :30:24.with him and finally, to be very deeply moved
:30:25. > :30:30.The play was directed by Sir Peter Hall, who witnessed
:30:31. > :30:32.the painstaking and to some, painful way in which
:30:33. > :30:36.Peter Shaffer is a wonderful writer but he writes by constantly
:30:37. > :30:44.He would sit in rehearsals scribbling away, while the actors
:30:45. > :30:47.looked out of the corner of their eyes and thought, "Right,

:31:04. > :31:06.My great pleasure is that Mozart has now reached millions and millions
:31:07. > :31:08.of people who had not heard him before.
:31:09. > :31:10.Peter Shaffer was a funny, intelligent, cultured man,
:31:11. > :31:13.whose childhood interest in the theatre turned
