At the World Service we are changing the science programmes. Budget restraints mean that we have to cut them in duration and end the main documentary strand, but at the same time keeping the daily slots really prominent in our output.
We are also changing the way we make them so they have space to help shape the day's news agenda. Our audience is mostly young - keen to understand the world and question why we live the way we do. The range of science we offer from pure research to practical application, we hope works for all our audiences around the world. From today,Digital Planet is renamed Click - matchingits sister programme on World TV. They remain separate programmes, separate presenters and in many ways their own individual take on technology.

Ask anyone to recall a three-letter acronym associated with the web and they will probably trot out LOL, OMG, WWW and perhaps even WTF.
But quiz them on what SSL stands for and you are likely to get blank looks.
Yet those three letters and the technology they refer to are more integral to the web than almost all of the other acronyms.
SSL stands for Secure Sockets Layer and, along with the associated TLS system, it is the method by which traffic between a website and anyone visiting it is encrypted to prevent eavesdropping.
When connecting to a secured site, a user's web browser is able to automatically verify its authenticity.
