Here are the headlines: Clashes in Egypt between police and

demonstrators calling for the resignation of President Mohammed

Morsi have left at least one person dead and many others injured. The

police responded to protesters with a water cannon and teargas.

The United States has condemned a suicide bomb attack on its embassy

in the Turkish capital as an act of terror. A security guard and the

suspected attacker or put killed in the blast. The Prime Minister has

blamed an outlawed Marxist Group. Heavily armed French soldiers are

continuing their advance into northern Mali after the capture of

many areas from Islamist rebels. Preparations are underway in

Timbuktu for the arrival of the French President, who is due to

visit French and Mali soldiers there.

Now it is time for Click. You have loaned me a box to keep my

things in. But what have I put This week, we get inside the new

creation from one of the internet's most colourful and controversial

characters. But will his new file storage site protect the pirates

were just 10? -- or just Tim? Of we will also get our hands on

the new BlackBerry devices hoping to hold off the tides of the iPhone

and Android devices. What happens if you ignore the

million most relevant answers? Welcome to Click. Why pay for

something when you can get it for nothing? That has been the opinion

of quite a few people in the cast of the latest movies and music. The

creative industries have been trying to shut down websites that

promote the illegal sharing of copyrighted films, games and

applications. Last year they had some success. Shutting down one of

the biggest free for all swapping sides. But now the internet beast

is back. It is a service that the onus has cannot be touched. We have

been trying to find out what is in the box.

This is the moment last year when New Zealand police stormed the

mention of Kim Dotcom. Armed with assault rifles and backed by the

FBI, dozens of computers and hard drives were seized. Fighting online

piracy has never been so dramatic. Although the courts have some

steamed it illegal, Kim Dotcom is still fighting extradition to the

US, maintaining he has done nothing wrong. It was this website that

sparked the raid. It works much like a standard opera. It allows

you to store your digital files security online. That could be

anything from your photographs to that novel you have been working on.

But it is when movies or music or anything that you do not own the

copyright to his shared that these websites risk falling foul of the

law. It is like leaving the door to your locker open. Anyone can

download a copy. It is called file sharing. Where movies or music is

concerned, it is called piracy. me in three internet users

accessing a pirate service on a regular basis. We think, why not

come over to the legal services that we have? It is certainly still

an issue. Megaupload was the site of choice. At one point it had more

than 50 million visitors every day. Sharing a staggering 25 million

gigabytes of data. It was not interested in being a cloud locker.

It knew exactly what it wanted. It wanted popular content. It was even

prepared to split money with users who offered particularly popular

files. When it was shut down, the creative industries breathe a sigh

of relief. It has a massive impact. That relief lasted until last month.

In typical extravagance, Kim Dotcom launched his latest file storage

project. It was simply name to make up. This time he is hoping to take

on mainstream cloud locker services with 50 gigabytes of free storage

up front. What is more, Kim Dotcom, insists it is not a way of getting

back at the establishment for the demise of his last business. This

is not some kind of finger to the US government or to Hollywood. This

is innovative people that have been wrong taking the time they have to

create something new. How is the new venture different? Gone are the

financial incentives to upload popular files. There is the ability

to produce a larger locker and download more each month. But the

big difference is when you start uploading a file or stop it is

encrypted on the fly. It has no idea what you are storing inside

your cider locker. How do you show your files? You can click on this

link in the top right-hand corner of the screen. That will generate a

unique link with in your browser that you can share with your

friends. It includes the keys to unlock your files without the

website ever having to know what you have stored there. Legally

there is nothing there that could be used to shut us down. The

website is just as legitimate and has the same right to exist as

Dropbox and other competitors. movie and music industries are not

so sure. Like Megaupload before it, if users want to share their files

widely it, they will probably publish the links on forums and

websites. Much to the frustration of the industry, these can often be

found using standard search engines. A sadly, if you do a search on

Google today for the words Adele and MP3, you'll find results from

illegal sources. Not from legitimate sources. Kim Dotcom says

he has, in the past, and will continue to, respond to specific

requests from copyright owners to take down material if there is

evidence of piracy. But while some other cloud storage or websites

like CAPTCHA automatically cross reference files uploaded, a process

known as fingerprinting, it appears that it will not be able to do this.

This is due to encryption of every file before it reaches them.

decision has been made to be blind to their content for whatever

reason. We have seen that the claim is that this is to protect users

privacy. We will see. inscriptions are entirely to give

Kim Dotcom plausible to my ability. It does not protect movies and

music. Our focus is on the people making large amounts of content

available. That is the best way to hit at piracy. Much will depend on

just how sick sure the encryption service turns out to be. While Kim

Dotcom insists that it is not going to be part of the piracy problem,

the emphasis on secrecy will undoubtably get some to share

copyrighted content. Content and the creative industries say should

be paid for. The ins and outs of a mega, which

can be used to share legitimate files. It can also be used to share

illegal content. We will speak to the news editor of

intellectual property magazine. In your experience, what is a feeling

about mega? Will it succeed where Megaupload has failed? It depends

on how tightly the legal team has been around the loopholes. Sir the

men loophole you are talking about is this idea of encryption. The

owners of the website so they legitimately do not know. The new

website has this different from Megaupload. Is there any legal

precedent to a cider locker been deemed a legal or illegal? They

have been several cases with cider lockers. In Germany in particular.

It offered a surfers almost identical. It was an internet

storage content website. It allowed people to upload and share content.

In Germany it was found that the basic business model of the website

was legal. The German courts deemed that RapidShare was not responsible

for monitoring the content. But as long as it complies with taking

down content discovered by others, then it is working within the law.

Is there any evidence that different parts of the world will

deal with this in a different way? How does the West differ from

Europe? The US have been proactive in taking down foreign websites.

They based their jurisdiction on those cases. The service could be

stored in the West. Or it could have a US Registry. They use those

kinds of legal rights they have to go after these people. Does that

mean if you just moved Europe storage service to a country where

the war is more relaxed, you're OK? That is what is happening. Kim

Dotcom has new servers on an island. It has a New Zealand registration.

It gets around US laws. Surely the world would be a simpler place if

countries could just tell internet service providers to block that

website. It would be a simple place. But only if the internet was that

simple. That seems to be the crux of the problem. The internet is

incredibly difficult to govern. In Europe, where governments in Sweden

have tried to block websites like Pirate Bay, you can still log on to

Pirate Bay with any ISP on any connection in the UK. You get a

different approach in the US. They have been trying to take down the

websites themselves. They take a much more aggressive, invasive

approach. Thank you for your time. This is obviously a hot topic. We

space of time the BlackBerry went from being a must-have device to,

must I have one device? Like many companies in the smartphone

industry they were caught off-guard by the iPhone when that came along

with its advanced technology and large touch-screen. BlackBerry was

not able to keep up on the technology front with those changes

Quite a mixed picture of weather this weekend. We begin on a chilly

note, a widespread frost this morning. Temperatures below

freezing. At least there is some sunshine around. Let's get into the

details. Temperatures dipping below freezing. A bright start to the day.

Temperatures in London around three degrees. Two degrees for Ipswich.

Along the coastline there are some showers. Rain along the coast.

Further inland we could see a bit of sleet or snow. Maybe a few

centimetres, not causing us concern. For inland areas of Scotland it is

dry and bright at 9am in the morning. It is a chilly start to

the day across Northern Ireland. A few showers, but they are mostly

rain showers. Temperatures in Plymouth on Saturday morning four

degrees with the sunshine around. A brisk wind takes us through

Saturday. We might see a little bit of higher cloud around with some

hazy sunshine. There is that breeze taking the edge off things. It is

noticeable for the Six Nations matches. Wales against Ireland,

England against Scotland. Temperatures around five degrees.

Coverage right across the BBC. Temperatures generally 3-4 degrees.

We are hoping for seven degrees in Cardiff and Plymouth through the

afternoon. An early frost on Saturday night. Temperatures will

climb later in the night as the cloud will thicken and we begin to

see rain moving into the north-west. Temperatures by the end of the

night 6-7 degrees. We have the frost to begin with in East Anglia.

Some early brightness, but it will cloud over in the south-east with

some patchy rain late in the day. Behind that system it will be a

little bit drier and brighter, still quite a brisk wind coming in

from the west. The winds strengthen even further on Monday. Quite a

chilly wind at that. Further south and east it looks like it should be

mainly dry and bright. We have got temperatures from 5-9 degrees. The

isobars stay tightly packed on Monday night into Tuesday. The
