Restoring US Government websites since Trump came to power

Since January 20th this year there has been a significant reduction of content on US government websites, following directives from the Trump administration to eliminate extensive data and resources, particularly those related to health equity, equity, diversity, and inclusion, or any other topics the administration considers excessively "woke." In response, groups of volunteers have come together to archive these websites before they become inaccessible. This effort is monumental, not only due to the vast amounts of data involved but also because of the technical challenges associated with backing up such large websites. Among the volunteers is Lauren, a dedicated research scientist who, despite her demanding day job, has been working late into the night on this initiative, alongside other public health experts, web developers, and Python programmers. Lauren is specifically focused on preserving information from one of the government's primary health websites, the CDC and she is on the show.

Innoora – the avatar communicating in Arabic with deaf people

A new avatar, which can ‘read’ webpages in sign language could help Arab deaf children across the Middle East and North Africa. Innoora is a startup that aims to transform communication for the deaf with AI-driven sign language translation, voice recognition, and emotion analysis. Ania met up with founder Basant Amr at Web Summit Qatar.

The programme is presented by Gareth Mitchell and the studio expert is Ania Lichtarowicz.
