China's Great Firewall fails
The Great Firewall of China is meant to suppress dissent - so why didn't it stop this week's protests? How robots can help spot infections - and happy birthday Grand Theft Auto.
This week journalist and author James Griffiths explains how the Great Firewall of China works - and why it failed to stop the recent wave of protests there. Reporter Alasdair Keane meets the robots that could provide a helping hand to the most vulnerable. And game developer Colin Macdonald reflects on the unlikely origins of Grand Theft Auto, as the game franchise turns 25.
