Description: Following the deadly bombings over Easter, Sri Lankan authorities try to stem lies and conspiracy theories online. But are they making the problem worse? Plus, as the UK looks set to approve Huawei's involvement in its 5G network, has China won the argument over trust in its tech? And we talk to an entrepreneur trying to increase access to credit for small and medium-sized businesses in India. Presented by Rory Cellan-Jones, with BBC tech reporter Jane Wakefield, and technology researcher Stephanie Hare.
