For the second day, many websites around the world — including those of government agencies and banks — are down. These are due to vulnerabilities in PHP — a programming language that much of the internet relies on. One government cyber security official in Finland tells us how his government is preparing for cyber-attacks. We go to Virginia to speak to a housing realtor about the housing market. Have interest rates made home ownership unaffordable? And we ask the co-founder of France's first literary AI prize if it sets a dangerous precedent for authors. Presenter: Leanne Byrne Producers: Neil Morrow & Neggeen Sadid (Photo: "Cyber Attack" phrase and PHP code appears in this illustration taken October 22, 2026.
