Obama says Sony was wrong to cancel the release of ‘The interview’ following a cyber attack. Plus the Franciscan religious order is embroiled in a financial scandal.

The Franciscan religious order is famous for its vow of poverty, but now they have become embroiled in financial scandal involving up to tens of millions of dollars.

Plus we'll find out how independent Toy retailers are coping with the online competition in the run up to Christmas and we try out Skype's new translation tool.

Discussing these stories, we are joined by Professor Danny Samson of the University of Melbourne.
