Summary

Elon Musk speaks to the BBC about Twitter, tackling hate speech and not posting after 3am. Adam is joined by the BBC’s technology reporter, James Clayton, and culture and media editor, Katie Razzall, to dissect the hour long interview. And with the news that 248 phones are stolen in London a day, Adam speaks with consumer champion and watchdog presenter, Matt Allwright, to discuss why the police don’t investigate these crimes and what people can do to protect their devices. If you’ve had your phone or other device stolen, the Met Police says: “It’s important victims contact the police as soon as a robbery occurs, the ‘Golden Hour’ after a robbery is critical to catching robbers.” Today's Newscast was presented by Adam Fleming. It was made by Cat Farnsworth with Cordelia Hemming and Rufus Gray. The technical producer was Mike Regaard. The senior news editor was Sam Bonham.
