Nel quarto episodio di Te Tiriti per Italiani Miriam Sessa, Davide Castorina e Angelo Tedoldi parlano dei giorni precedenti al trattato di Waitangi e dei personaggi fondamentali del momento: Lord Normanby, il Segretario di Stato per le Colonie, Capitan Williams Hobson, luogotenente -governatore, che arrivò solo qualche giorno prima malato in Aotearoa, and James Busby. Il 5 febbraio 1840, più di 500 Māori si riunirono a Waitangi per discutere il contenuto del trattato proposto dalla Corona britannica. La versione Māori del trattato fu letta ad alta voce da Henry Williams e suo figlio Edward, missionari che avevano tradotto il testo in te reo Māori. Il trattato veniva proposto da William Hobson per stabilire un'autorità britannica e creare un accordo legale con i capi Māori. L'obiettivo, secondo i britannici, era di portare "ordine" tra coloni europei e popolazioni indigene. Tuttavia, i capi Māori avevano preoccupazioni profonde. Molti di loro erano esperti negoziatori e leader politici, consapevoli delle conseguenze di firmare un documento che avrebbe potuto limitare la loro sovranità (rangatiratanga). Altri capi, tuttavia, riconobbero i vantaggi potenziali di un accordo con la Corona. La discussione durò tutto il giorno.

This week: should the assisted dying bill be killed off? Six months after Kim Leadbeater MP launched the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill, a group of Labour MPs have pronounced it ‘irredeemably flawed and not fit to become law'. They say the most basic aspects of the bill – having gone through its committee stage – do not hold up to scrutiny. Dan Hitchens agrees, writing in the magazine this week that ‘it's hard to summarise the committee's proceedings except with a kind of Homeric catalogue of rejected amendments' accompanied by a ‘series of disconcerting public statements'. With a third reading vote approaching, what could it tell us about the country we live in? Dan joins the podcast alongside the Revd Fergus Butler-Gallie, who provides the Spectator's diary for the week. (1:34) Next: where are all the rabbits? If you've noticed fewer rabbits across the countryside that might be due to a killer pandemic that has appeared on Britain's shores. Henry Williams raises awareness in the magazine this week about Rabbit Haemorrhagic Disease (RHD), which has a mortality rate of between 70 and 100% and has already left rabbits endangered in countries like Spain. The disease can kill suddenly and is particularly prolific within wild rabbits, which are less likely to be vaccinated than household pets. How concerned should we be? Henry joined the podcast to discuss. (20:56) And finally: are creme eggs delicious – or disgusting? ‘How do you eat yours?' asks the famous Cadbury's advert for creme eggs. James Innes-Smith, writing his notes on creme eggs in the magazine this week, responds ‘stamping on them in disgust'. James might not be a fan but most of the British public are – over 220 million of them are sold in the UK each year. Even more astonishing given they're only available to buy for a third of the year. Why are they loved so much? James joined the podcast alongside The Guardian's Lucy Mangan, who makes the case for creme eggs. (27:09) Presented by William Moore and Lara Prendergast. Produced by Patrick Gibbons.

There's a big security loophole affecting plastic payment cards—called a replay (or pre-play) attack. Banks have known about this loophole for years. But they may still blame you, the victim, if a scammer makes use of it.In a 2022 fraud, a former British soldier holidaying in Brazil found that £20,000 had been charged to his bank card in eighteen separate transactions. The ex-soldier, Henry Williams, said he'd only used his card once and that most of the money had been taken from his account without his knowledge.His bank, a well-known British high street name, initially refused to compensate him, arguing he must have authorised all the payments. Only a year later did the bank agree to refund him—partially and with a grudging apology.Even after one of the UK's best-known security experts intervened on behalf of the victim, the UK's financial ombudsman, which is supposed to settle complaints between consumers and financial services businesses, sided more with the bank.How does a replay attack occur? Most plastic debit (or credit) cards contain a chip which is used to identify and authenticate the user. The chip comes into action when the user taps the card on a contactless payment terminal (or inserts the card into the terminal and then enters a PIN code).At this point, the payment terminal generates a number that is supposed to be unpredictable, ensuring that each payment transaction is a fresh one. Unfortunately, payment terminals can be tampered with and the supposedly unguessable number can be manipulated. This opens the door to replay attacks—and to more paydays for criminals.As many as half of all payment cards and half of all terminals may be vulnerable to exploitation, says my Unseen Money co-host Timur Yunusov, who demonstrates a card replay attack in this YouTube video.In the latest episode of Unseen Money from New Money Review, we explore replay attacks: how they occur, why the vulnerability is still there more than a decade after it was exposed, and why the payments industry is so reluctant to address the issue.
