:02:09. > :02:15.Welcome. I understand that this group of politicians consulted with
:02:16. > :02:19.you to a degree before putting the report together, but you have read
:02:20. > :02:23.it and feel it is already out of date? It does seem out of date, and
:02:24. > :02:26.what is unfortunate is that it does not seem to take into consideration
:02:27. > :02:32.how much the UK government has evolved with these companies and how
:02:33. > :02:36.much the international community has evolved. That is where we see
:02:37. > :02:40.positive progress. It is not about doing more for the sake of doing
:02:41. > :02:45.more. You need different sectors partnering together so that social
:02:46. > :02:49.media companies understand the state of play with counterterrorism
:02:50. > :02:56.efforts and that civil society gets involved to provide a credible voice
:02:57. > :03:00.and counterculture to what we see. At the social media companies doing
:03:01. > :03:04.enough? They could be doing more. They are definitely doing even a lot
:03:05. > :03:09.more than they were two years ago. But they can't do more and have it
:03:10. > :03:12.be as effective unless it is done well with other sectors. They don't
:03:13. > :03:18.have the expertise in-house. Takedown is not just the answer. We
:03:19. > :03:24.have seen that censorship alone are not only doesn't help but sometimes
:03:25. > :03:28.works against us. Then we see the migration to less regulated, more
:03:29. > :03:32.encrypted platforms, which means we lose people to encrypted networks
:03:33. > :03:38.and we are not able to help. Censorship alone is not the answer.
:03:39. > :03:43.It is not just about the Internet, either. It is not just an online
:03:44. > :03:48.phenomenon, radicalisation. We have to work both online and off-line.
:03:49. > :03:54.There is also a fine line between what we are talking about in terms
:03:55. > :03:59.of extremism and unwelcome behaviour. How do you measure what
:04:00. > :04:05.is termed as extremism and possibly terrorism, and what is just
:04:06. > :04:12.unwelcome behaviour? That continues to be defined. Extremism does not
:04:13. > :04:19.necessarily mean illegal. There is extremism that is not necessarily a
:04:20. > :04:24.legal. We have seen at in some of the attacks recently, the
:04:25. > :04:28.perpetrators have been arrested and not convicted. The government has an
:04:29. > :04:31.issue in trying to define that concretely. You can understand why
:04:32. > :04:38.social media companies struggle working in that grey area of legal
:04:39. > :04:43.versus illegal speech. Yes, very interesting. The devil is in the
:04:44. > :04:49.detail. There is a lot more on our website about this, so take a look
:04:50. > :04:50.at that. Staying in the digital
:04:51. > :04:52.domain, 520 days. According to a new study,
:04:53. > :04:58.that's how long it takes for Asian companies to discover a data breach
:04:59. > :05:00.in their computer systems. Rico Hizon is in our
:05:01. > :05:03.Asia Business Hub in Singapore. Rico, this is pretty
:05:04. > :05:13.shocking, isn't it? That is hard to believe? Yes,
:05:14. > :05:21.unbelievable, right? Hackers can unroll the computer systems of Asian
:05:22. > :05:26.companies and government officials for that long! Very concerning.
:05:27. > :05:32.According to a study, hackers breach popular targets such as government,
:05:33. > :05:36.education and energy companies, aerospace, defence and healthcare,
:05:37. > :05:40.as well as financial institutions, those other favourites. Most
:05:41. > :05:45.breaches never became public in the region because unlike markets with
:05:46. > :05:50.greater security measures such as the United States, most governments
:05:51. > :05:59.and governing bodies in the region lack effective breach disclosure
:06:00. > :06:07.laws. Asian organisations are often unprepared to identify the attackers
:06:08. > :06:11.because they lack the basic response process as well is the plans and
:06:12. > :06:18.expertise. The bottomline is that you need to invest in Internet
:06:19. > :06:26.security. Organisations that much of band together with -- organisations
:06:27. > :06:31.must band together. It is all about money and investment to be able to
:06:32. > :06:36.protect yourself these days. Thank you very much. It is often about
:06:37. > :06:41.money and investment. There seems to be a theme around today's programme,
:06:42. > :06:41.the worries of terrorism and security.
:06:42. > :06:44.It's been a tough year for tour operators trying to provide
:06:45. > :06:46.affordable holidays in Europe's traditional holiday destinations
:06:47. > :06:48.despite a growing number of security alerts.
:06:49. > :06:50.Speaking to BBC local radio, Thomas Cook CEO, Peter Frankhauser,
:06:51. > :06:59.told Emily Unia how travel habits have changed.
:07:00. > :07:11.In terms of destinations, this year we saw a massive shift. Two metre is
:07:12. > :07:18.closed for us, we cannot fly there. In Egypt, Schar Mel Shaikh is still
:07:19. > :07:29.closed. Turkey had a difficult time with the terrorist attacks. We also
:07:30. > :07:33.moved a lot of our capacity. There have been some big upheavals in
:07:34. > :07:39.Turkey, terrorist attacks and a failed military coup. How safe is it
:07:40. > :07:44.really for people to be going now? -- Sharm el-Sheikh. We rely on the
:07:45. > :07:51.intelligence services of the UK, and they tell us it is safe to go. As
:07:52. > :07:55.long as they tell us that, we are offering the flights. At the end of
:07:56. > :08:01.the season, we will have had about 1.8 million customers who still want
:08:02. > :08:08.to go to Turkey. That is a lot. We took the decision, at first, to move
:08:09. > :08:16.our capacity of seats. We cut that capacity in early January and moved
:08:17. > :08:25.them into Spain. This is where we see, this year, the customer demands
:08:26. > :08:32.is changing. Spain is very packed, so the whole industry had a problem
:08:33. > :08:37.that the capacity was running out. Moving on to the Brexit, overall,
:08:38. > :08:45.how has that upheaval affected business? We don't see any impact in
:08:46. > :08:55.terms of customer demands so far. If you book with us, we are hedged on
:08:56. > :09:02.fuel and till 2017, the same with currency. I don't think it will have
:09:03. > :09:04.a big impact. The chief executive of Thomas Cook. A look at the markets
