Microsoft has written to the government asking for it's help in removing more barriers which it says makes it difficult for District Health Boards to use cloud-based services. The company also says it wants to dispell perceptions in the health sector that the cloud is inherently less secure than using in-house servers. Nine to Noon speaks to Ben Creet from Internet New Zealand and to Microsoft's Asia Director for Health & Social Services Gabe Rijpma.

10:05 What killed the Bronze Age?

Before 1177 BC there was a network of large, powerful nations like Egypt, Assyria, Minos and Troy trading. They'd survived for thousands of years but within a matter of decades all but one of those civilisations vanished and the sole survivor, Egypt, was irrevocably changed. Dr Eric Cline has spent his career picking through the rubble of ancient cities and his take on this highly controversial period of history is the subject of a new book 1177 BC: The Year Civilization Collapsed
