Show Notes

The NHS is trialling a new drone delivery service, to send chemotherapy drugs to the Isle of Wight. It’s working with drone firm Apian to send the drugs to the island, which will cut the travel time from 4 hours to just half an hour. 


Google is warning Windows users to update their Chrome browser immediately. It’s because of a bug which has been given ‘zero-day’ status - which means it's possible, and highly likely, hackers know about the issue and are actively exploiting it.
