00:00Tech giant Apple has launched a fresh legal challenge against the UK government over its
00:05use of surveillance powers in a continuing dispute about encrypted customer data.
00:10Reports say the case relates to government requests for access to information protected
00:15by Apple's highest level of iCloud security.
00:18Apple says it's never created a backdoor to its products and never will.
00:23The government says it supports strong encryption but believes law enforcement must be able
00:28to access communications when necessary and proportionate to investigate terrorism, serious
00:34crime and child sexual abuse.
00:36The case will now be considered through the courts with privacy campaigners and technology
00:42experts watching closely.
