On Russian superyacht linked to Putin ally, Hong Kong leader says 'no legal basis' to act on the vessel

<p>United Kingdom intelligence chief warns that China's use of technology is a threat to global security as Beijing wants to use new technologies to repress dissent at home and spread its influence across the world.&nbsp;</p>

<p>According to the extracts of Jeremy Fleming's scheduled speech, he thinks that China is using its financial and scientific muscle from digital currencies to satellite systems&nbsp;to manipulate technologies. Fleming is the head of Government Communications Headquarters (GCHQ).&nbsp;</p>

<p>"They see nations as either potential adversaries or potential client states, to be threatened, bribed, or coerced," the speech, which will be delivered by UK's spy chief on Tuesday in the annual security lecture at the Royal United Services Institute think tank, added.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Fleming will also say that China's "great strength combined with fear is driving China into actions that could represent a huge threat to us all" and will also include that Beijing's leadership was driven by a fear of their own citizens, "the whole open, democratic order and the international rules-based system."&nbsp;</p>

China's use of technology is a threat to global security, warns UK spy chief

Very rare moment amid Ukraine war: Russian and US troops pose for pictures, exchange greetings on Syrian soil

Done with work from home? Working from pubs can become new normal for Britons

<p>A software company in the United States violated a Dutch worker's human rights by forcing the remote employee to keep his webcam on during work hours, a court in the Netherlands has ruled.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The Florida-based telemarketing company Chetu fired the employee who refused to be monitored "for nine hours per day", a programme that needed his webcam to be streamed and also sharing of the screens, reported TechCrunch.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Chetu said that the firing was done because of the "refusal to work" and "insubordination", but the worker said otherwise. He reportedly said the fact that he was being monitored all day made him uncomfortable, and he thought it was an invasion of privacy.&nbsp;</p>

<p>As quoted by the court documents, he said: "This is an invasion of my privacy and makes me feel really uncomfortable. That is the reason why my camera is not on." The report also stated that Chetu did not go to the court hearing.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Both journalists apparently went inside the building and started filming. They were even charged with trespassing and unauthorised photography of a crime scene. Later, the allegations against them were dropped.&nbsp;</p>

<p>After an initial investigation, they both were fined for working&nbsp;while on tourist visas. They also issued a video apology, which appears to be shot inside a police station. The video has been extensively shared on social media forums.&nbsp;</p>
