From the hacking of the US and French elections, to the WannaCry ransomware attack - we assess cyber threats.



Garry Kasparov, the former chess world champion turned Russian opposition political activist, explains the Kremlin's motivation in interfering in other countries' democracies, and what he thinks the West should do about it.
