In the past week, Authorities Say more than 2000000 people have been affected by flooding and land slides brought on by ty, phone book, story in the east. And those who are headlines on al jazeera, the news continues right here. After algebra, 0 world the a a, a, the the, you know, the 2019 the head of a u. K based palestinian lobby group made an announcement outside the roll coats of justice in london. I speak on my behalf, and as i say, i dont mind seeing anything, since i dont see my bank account. Im that lawyer is representing mode you dial 0. Had reached an out of Court Settlement with a company hed been battling for several of the 15. The closing of our banking frustrated b. C, b o z. A. Had claimed that the Palestinian Return center had been rolling listed on the data base. And that this had caused some serious financial difficult about that we had the navy and the them to dismiss him by watch it on their secret that there is a do. Im misleading. I already gave you the world check data base is now also known as we send it to if its current toner, its no secret. Its one of the databases used by the banks to help them comply with government financial regulation. I know your customer is the term they used to identify exactly who they dealing with and hence avoid exposure to Financial Crimes. Anyway, say from the bank. Now your customer is an vice low cost of folks, the on boarding process that is taking on a new customer and maintaining that relationship. And it requires you to ensure that you know who that person is and that that is verified. And you understand the risk that that person brings to the bank in terms of Financial Crime of money. Data base is like vicinity, if, well, check, look for and collate data for the subscribers on individuals and organizations that might depose of financial risk. What they call politically, expos persons p ps, all pets, all names on the sanctions list, all who have attracted negative media coverage. In this program time around this, how the villages 0 is arabic channels examines these databases. The opponents of the global regulate to re framework is going to come back Financial Crime. But how transparent until they and what impact can they have on those that appear in the in terms of the bottom k t t is dominated by 2 main tires, which is dow jones and roof finicky, which used to be positive thompson. Reuters organization of in my experience, i come across both extremely frequently and a great many other providers on i c. And the engine of what they provide is us as a dow jones, as a preventative list. So they power lots of other providers lists as well. I think of them, i think preventative has probably the greatest reach in terms of the global things, but honestly they advise pretty dominant plans market. But individuals and organizations have sometimes found themselves on these databases without the knowledge it can come as a shock to discover theyve been categorized as being linked with, for example, terrorism as an American Security advisor called Chris Vickery. Got hold of a copy of the well checked data base in 2016, including what he called its terrorism blacklist. Tom earl ms. Hills spoke to vickery and asked how hed found the list of over 2000000. 00 names at the world check database by looking for whats known as couch d, be instances. Its a type of database that can be access through a web browser. And it runs on a specific port. So if something has Data Available on the couch, the, the port and its accessible to the public internet, you can browse it. Yeah, i was just lucky and found it. I guess persistence pays off when youre looking through lots and lots of data ever go to while you find some real gems. And of i found it downloaded because it was publicly accessible and open and available to the public mouse or a time or oswell. The vicar, his initial thoughts were when the very 1st big reaction i had was when i was looking through the different rose and i saw people marked as a terrorist. Thats when i knew that, oh my god, this is a list that is probably not something that is normally out there. And then i realized if this is a list marking people for things of that nature who created this list, you know, so i had to look and see who created world check, but they have a bad joints in founder, also executive chairman and world. A check will check was founded in 2000 by a south african born business man, called david left. The company was registered in london and started as a Risk Mitigation database. There was a whole host of scandals like sizes early ninetys that caused the banks to stop reassessing, how they managed risk. And at the same time it was a single, it looks like its a problem. Imagine. So all of these things conspired. The bank study to the multiple choice, the risk, and there was the formation of definitive Selection Task force, which is the level party responsible for, for providing the definitions of pets and for Staffing Bank seem to have to manage those risks. The market for data grew to include agencies and institutions. United reset to particularly off to the september 11th attacks in new york on the World Trade Center in 2000 the one a 3 minute all those days of bases widened significantly after 911. Probably because it forced the united states, particularly to focus much more on funding of terrorism. And it was an area that although had previously been legislative on that in the us, they probably werent as robust as maybe have in europe where the easier the European Union had already instituted some strict rules. They give us often item pasta, think of the country attacked, and it specifics that he caused the price of focus on the funding of terrorism as much as money, long drinking and organized crime, so changed the landscape definitively. David left hand declined to be interviewed. Partly because in 2011 well checked was acquired by Thomson Reuters as part of the governance risk and compliance union. Representative will check is still registered to the same address as Thompson Reuters in the canary will Business District of london. Such an october 2018, which has announced the sale of a majority of its will check shares to the private equity group. Blackstone in 2018 thompson. Reuters sold costs of the state in west check, so they sold 55 percent of the company to investors. But some, some noise is still owns 45 percent. Oh, for finishes, which is the new name of the company that of 12 check. Thompson reuters is a Canadian Media conglomerate, but its made several dates are related. Acquisition function voices is a Financial Service agency and it has an interest in making money out of Financial Services. Well, childcare is a very profitable business. Subscriptions can run into the millions of pounds. There was a lot of money to the 9th and the set up as well. Check is a tight space of millions of people and organizations around the world who claims to be high risk people because of some connection with terrorism or crime or because of the political position. And this is a system that banks around the world to use to check that customers to find out if theyre doing business with somebody who could pose problems for the bank later on in an online brochure, resend it to the world, checks thats out and subjective. Unlisted, its different areas of activity, including sanction screening, monitoring, politically exposed to persons, anti Money Laundering, countering the financing of terrorism on mt, bribery and corruption it said it covered 240. 00 countries. How do a full 100 Research Channel is . Until its about the number of sources used and rate quotes help of the use, its grown and grown. Until today it has 3000000 people and organizations listed. And its owned by and Large Companies and, and is used by most of the banks around the world for a long time. The contents of the state space have been kept secret. And its only in the last few years, thanks to the work of john list and campaign is that weve begun to learn a little bit more about some of the issues with the state space. So for example, Finsbury Park most had their account closed, and they eventually discovered that listing and well check that was still connecting them with terrorism. Even though the most have 9 more connection with terrorism. The finsbury paul, most skews in ne london, is attended by hundreds of worship is afraid a noon today its considered a model of community relations, but its attracted an adverse media and the Police Attention in 1997. When jacob comes around muscling known so his radical views became a mo most was closed in 2003 for his perceived links to terrorism. And reopened in 2005 with a new Management Team and supported by the Muslim Association of britain. The changes at the mosque and now widely perceived as a success story. Clutching 2014, the management was shocked to discover that the names were on well checks, data base. As being linked to terrorism. Well check was still on the Thomson Reuters ownership of that time. And the, and the whole by the a, the, they call the big jelia on, which was the, the com with me. He is out of community as well. My not in motion, the sort of the most viewed when our what the he, b, b, a, b, i mean, the and the whole most of the case. But at cosette to comb my work to check. Oh cool. Some of the Community Center buried in the bank. Ach sbc. So they will not be in the if you 7 my case and say its on the level one, then she had a li, the bit office, the each of the is bank of for the, for the she said live most you one a physical that im where they moved with the if you, savage, it is by the and some of the Lessons Learned them in as bbc and then what else and bbc and what all of them and them upon. But if he hasnt moved off the thought, well, have on female life, imagine holiday and what else if you that you can look at the health of the and the, as with most with on the fact that i have the most assessment, have them some, some sort of way to upload, but i will check peter available and 1st broke. The sco make for the bbc. I got the bbc to make a radio program. And i presented this we discovered the existence of a confidential data base. It was called world checked and by Thomson Reuters at the time to see how any have one catch, a big cold temp service which is a very serious thing is we all know very, very serious. If you kind of deal with people the link to covers. Uh and uh and so we discovered that the rest of the status report mosque was listed service from memory. I think thats the cause. Bob was very shocked as he should be. So and, and those ill be rang up. Well check on. We spoke to. Ringback check and i had a conversation and i said that they said that we always go should have the correct procedures. So Something Like that, like comfortable, never ejected content. When wasa chemistry, it depends. If theres a lot feed per diem, because the other board, the chip, when i pick that up on you from and nothing shall be in the whole half. Im on a comma, shelly, cut this on sort of like has been a few thought a minute when it was such a basement. Im in that have to go to have all that had the had with some organizations i would was the said, what could not at the end of one know if was and if you have the and for the a come as you send us to his lovely and a susceptible football field, and thats what to on him and then then my son and then so that it kind of difficult and the whole number leave it normally we have the are probably gonna win if we havent seen that. The honda has been a stephanie much and then i think for some following defense brief called must case. Other organizations and individuals did take legal action against the world check including magic l z, a head of the palestinian Retention Center and loved the ill say a decided to basil a civil action against will check after hes own the sense has Bank Accounts with both closed the p o c provides a media platform for the palestinian diaspora. In 2015, it was given consultative status of the un or as a Non Governmental Organization or the center campaigns to increase awareness of the palestinian cause and for the human and legal rights of palestinian refugees. But well check and put the center and manage it out there in the countering terrorism funding category of its data base to which mister i was in took exception. However, in january 2019 as a as lawyer is reached and out of Court Settlement with will checks then owners, Thompson Reuters. They agreed to remove his name from the terrorism category to pay him 13000. 00 us dollars in damages. Its an ego, and if ive done to the purchased legal system, the judges and the quotes prefer people to federal cases. So to be honest with you, the majority of cases like this we would expect to settle in well trucks case. So far we actually have settled every single case. So in other words, theres never been a full cold case against oil change because all of them they said like they did with this one with mr. Margin novia, they normally agree that the classification was a breach of the data, protection of their pay, some compensation, and they offered to pay the legal costs. And thats it. When the time on elizabeth caught you map or best mountain ali. Uh, that was the night out, and how about a 5 year old or no mazda tim alamba infinity park, most of the behalf of the, the, the amount of weight that is female out of the lot of check as well as that. And after the behest in california, i can see it in the yes button. Only my cousin i with the rest of your thoughts on my next step is mama loves you. Can get started with 5, well call the get since bit off. But if most was out and a half by 11 s mt, and what was you with them twice and yeah, look, personally can have the, well i have, i remember that your 1st and then and getting it and youre going to have the final, hasnt it that i said if last im with a get of it was all about and as you the why fi and why im and that had to, you know, me and the ice costs about it, cuz it was the only my cousin i would see available. But i remember, but not the sort of like a film so much. Thank you. Have a lot the last of via if its enough but thats the yes yes, but of course youll see a lot of fear and thats all about it. I just oh, but was as i have not done what i just, thats good cause thing with the how, what have you applied to how to turn in, what are you those the, my adult life and why so . So what, how thats helping you, im not gonna be doing the home is that mine, im actually a little hot memory here for how well happy every. What in, how will that ship we havent even was that. I know distribution was as a once the Palestinian Returns and to was on the list. What low check tends to do is that all the direct us or the senior people also get listed individuals. So mr. Imagine those, it was listed only because of his connection to the Palestinian Return center. What the time around this, how asked how easy it was to communicate with will check at that time. It is possible to have some email communication with them. But generally speaking, then not easy people to me to talked about. And i put in that faith is back in my what this we have problem over. Yeah. But it doesnt have enough about what about what level for the bottom that came up when i picked this up. But really back to me, this is whats called the statement in of and cold. In the case between mode you dial 0 and royce has limited who had the majority share and well check up the time it set. So the rule which is also to settle, mister l z is claims the damages vegas. And that royce has agreed to move his profile from the terrorism category of the database and pay his legal costs. Really just also agreed that it would list mister l. Z is denial of any personal connection to how much of the Muslim Brotherhood. And he believed that their inclusion on the so called terrorism list by israel was politically motivated. However, the 2 parties also agreed that quote, mr. L z is profile, can continue to include references to his designations by the is really minister of defense. As a main operative of how much departments in europe, how much headquarters in europe, and how much office in europe tomorrow miss. How also emailed hsbc . The bank that closed the accounts of the p o. C. And the Finsbury Park most to ask about the closure of those accounts. But he never received a reply. One of the come to complaints against these, this is the reason why people cant get access to the Banking System that has some merit, but its not entirely true because it is not the role roof in the safe or that jones to decide in a binary. Yes. No, not, no way that people should have access to banking the road is to provide information to the best of the city to find who then apply what we were told that im Risk Appetite to that information. Tom uh, contacted, representative and spoke to the head of communications, but he declined the request for an interview however, and elected to well just see the dates of the 13th of june, 2019, the legal representative said of the finsbury comp most we are not to way of any evidence that its bank account was closed. As a consequence of the most inclusion on the database and the quotes did not approve any such suggestion. Tell me or ill miss how, then looked at a completely different case. Thats a british full magenta list. Peter Humphrey Humphrey run a Risk Advisory firm in shanghai. But he and his wife were arrested and found themselves imprisoned in china for 2 years. After his release, humphrey concluded that being listed on the well checked data base had led to the closure of his Bank Accounts in 2015. Im all right, and my wife were released from china in, in the middle of june, 2015. So i was trying to find a new bank who would actually accept my money and i went to several private banks in london. But i also went to a citibank in london and sat down with them and said, you know, this is my situation. I would like to open that account so i can move my money from hsbc to a new account. I was very helpful bank officer with setting up an account for me and then he said he had to run some, some checks on the system. And all of a sudden that is all the alarm bells ringing on his computer and the red flag was popping up. Um and he said, oh is not letting me do this is not letting me enroll you as a customer. And i said, well, why can you show it to me . So he turned his computer monitor around to let me see it. And there i could see a day is that by system showing red flags on certain newspaper headlines from chinese newspapers about our case. And i asked him which databases the bank was using, and he, he mentioned, well check. And he mentioned lexisnexis to me humphrey soul. The data bases had web links to news reports of an investigation he conducted for the pharmacy to coal company. Black. So smith klein, alger 0 us, we sent it to if it wish to comments on the pizza humphrey case. But they declined the coming up in port to the source as these data bases use a role in the Public Domain. But how reliable all day as a means of identifying potential Financial Crime with all the reputational damage that can entail. If a story is counted, lets say by voice is already paid associated reprice. So, or also try with these organizations. You can reasonably accept that taken care of, of the factual content within that story. If its on some of these wordpress plug, so you have to be more cautious about that. So impacts the expected to apply judgment to those of how does the same from a smaller league draw the bigger crowds . Why does the irish flag fly size discoveries club . What is it about celtic that has to weld over ceiling . Them all . All of texasfootball to find the problem with the a pre estimate around the world, the defense who makes football on the, the latest news as it breaks the fires keep spreading. Weve been talking to fire fighters. Theyre saying that theres very little they can do with these heavy when we detail coverage with hopes of a decisive victory on the buffer got on savings. The initial altitude seems to be changing from around the world. Every child on the set of still receives a nature of elk each day. The states capacity to see the vulnerable from sanctions because administer the, the im sorry, a venue in the hall with your top stories on else as 0. From the says it will firmly support efforts by the west african original block eco was to reinstate new jersey to post the president mohammed by zoom. The block is given to prove leaders until sunday to return to civilian rule. The regions defense ministers have drawn up a plan for possible military intervention. A luminous azure, a new pre are indeed consent to see how the situation is developing. We hope that through dialogue we can resolve this issue thats still time to comply with the ultimate template. The deadline is sunday, we still hope the negotiations will prevail, that they will not necessarily be military intervention. Were still hoping that the cooley does who are holding our comrade. President mohammed by zoom release in the party of pakistans, former Prime Minister and run con, has calls a nationwide protest of to con was sentenced to 3 years in prison for corruption. These no been arrested in the city of la for weatherbug assign. You jumped the kid, but im up that going to go my fellow practice, tony and i saw that tom, this message will reach you. They would have arrested me and i wont be in jail. I have one request from you, an appeal of what you do not sits in your hands quietly. What several im doing is not for myself. Im doing it for more practice studies and for you to do it for your childrens pets of future. A good off of who can be any kind of if you do not stand out for your rights, you live like slaves, slaves have know, lots of their own long flights to like its on the ground. Or at least one person is in a Critical Condition following the shooting. And he is really city of Tel Aviv Police. Say the attacker has been killed. Hes reported to have opened fire and security guards for funeral has been held for a palestinian teenager killed by his really settlers in the occupied west bank on friday. The 19 year old was shot in the village of work near ramallah. 2 is really settlers have been arrested. One of them reported to be an aide to a far right lawmaker. Russian Officials Say one of their oil tankers has been hitting a Ukrainian Drone attack and the black sea, its reported to have happened near the crimea region. This is the 2nd attack on the russian ship in as many days. And those are the headlines here on houses 0, then use continues. Of the als is 0 world in the global fight against Financial Crime companies, including banks, are required to carry out checks on customers to ensure their only dealing with legitimate businesses and low binding individuals. So they subscribe to data bases, which harvest information, companies, organizations, and individuals that might pose some kind of risk because of that politics being on a sanctions list, or simply by having attracted bad publicity. Dow jones lexisnexis and representative will check run such databases. But tell me, are on this home level, just wanted to examine how they gather their information and what sources they use. Journalist tom wills kept a copy of the 2014 well check database when it was made public in 2016. He searched for 2 organizations that had taken legal action against well check in the u. K. The palestinian Retention Center of defense recall most to find out what sources the database that you when listing in there since its magic as easy. Yeah. So we can see that he was listed in the terrorism category in 2014 and says countries listed palestine and associates, the director general of the palestinian resend center in london, which is essentially the city i sent to the Homeless Office in europe and to the most in brotherhood. And then thats a series of link stance web pages where theyve drawn this information. So weve got websites, quotes, local, and b welch and another one called global and b reports. And weve also got 2 websites from israel. Weve got c is randy governments website and a organization that calls itself terrorism info as well. But many of the governments around the world do not agree business rails classification of who is a type of list. So the question is, why is a London Company that is providing information to the bank . So like, well, its facing, its information on the side of just one country. So the data base is do use Information Published in the online news articles, a sources. But tell me or ill miss how wanted to dig a bit deeper and talk to someone with inside knowledge of a database to understand exactly how they use online sources. So he went to miami to meet kenneth richer. Theyve done some consultancy for well check any commercial database, any commercial off the shelf database of high risk individuals must use open source materials. That means news and magazine articles. That may mean court cases open source is necessary because the Banking Client must be able to demonstrate on demand to regulate wire. The information came from that he potentially used to make a decision about a client british journalist peach. A oval had already gone into the use of open source data in some detail. This is a very serious problem with us highlight, you know, you see weve done a lot of this search and you find the organizations, heres a picture of the story ive written about this. You know, websites that show accused of promising file arrives and these them a feedback agendas that being that being used as sole sees on the web check websites. Organizations like the us think tank like gate, state Institute Organizations like g had watch the david horowitz, freedom sensor. These are organizations which is judgment cannot be trusted or relied on and have a it might view an audiological agenda, in which case it gets irresponsible to use organizations like, but ive used them as sources using websites like these. Those Public Domain sources is problematic when they have their own political agenda. The examples peter own used a note for their anti is lemming views. So tell me or examine the number of arable most lim, names listed on the well check database leaked in 2016. He found thousands of names from all over the world. One of the issues that you had for the 2nd with the sanctions last time was the adverse news that comes from it is that it is disproportionately targeted towards a terrace. And thats because i found the way our service, so ill tell you to tell me about, and i say, i say, so whatever you want to call it, a significant population solve that list in a way that might be why supremacy. So either jewish supremacy. So whether or not its going to be me, it should be be as an investigative journalist whos written for online news outlets and worked as an investigator for the human rights and geo retrieve, as well as for the International Committee of the red cross fund. We want to check as i think the muslims of disproportionately affected by this kind of service simply because most things are more generally the victim of accusations, aboard bunch accusations, unfounded accusations. And what of service like . Well try it does is it shows us any kind of online accusation. Without much scripts and the about the source of the accusation, i dont find any particular of unusual focus on muslims or arabs in any of the 4 major commercial off the shelf database is a high risk individuals. But as a matter of practice, theyre going to contain more and more of the entries of arab nationals and most of nationals because of the global war on terrorism. I think what we can say is that this faith space for the risen in the post 9, and thats in climate paranoid about terrorism. And of course that is some things that impact so im listening most of them. And i think what well check is done. Unfortunately, is tight and some of the less lives in the windows about muslims, from the doctors corners of themes. Net ne free package, that thats where live the information. I think thats very concise and a letter dated the 13th of june 29 team. Preventative will check the legal representative said in response to the suggestion that will check targets mostly as well as quote, offensive, unholy, unsubstantiated. There is no question of well check talking to any group and to suggest otherwise would be entirely inaccurate. Individuals entities have been identified by government to spring fund or in the watch list. For example, this would be reported in well check. Now me, it should be be further questioned how much time . Well checks research. Im a list covering 240 countries and territories around the world would have available to collect information. When i spoke to various lo check list cards and full amount and the organization, i was astonished alone. That the standards for the creation of profiles were very low. Let me give you an example. One profile review or i spoke to said that they reviews 3 to 600 profiles every single day. Now and only 10 to 12 hour day shift. That means youre spending less than 2 minutes reviewing a profile. Its no wonder that youre unable to track the underlying source information, all the allegations against that person or organization. You dont have the time to resend it to his lawyers responded by saying that these allegations, what quote simply wrong say, bend no resemblance to the amount of time spent by well check analyst creating and reviewing records. And the allegations demonstrate to fundamental lack of understanding of the operation of the database. Mischaracterized has to well Check Research and Quality Assurance processes. In summary, considerable k. Its taken by a client and ensuring the accuracy of its reports. It is impossible to create records in well check in 2 minutes. An old on the list, research is supplemented by but q a checks and use of technology to ensure a High Accuracy standards on and change across the world. All sorts of news, media report stories, some of them do so robustly as a guide to the care and attention and others may be less. If a story is covered, lets say by voices or a Fee Associated reprice or other type with these organizations or New York Times of Washington Place of the times the needs of whatever you can reasonably accept. So theyve taken care of the factual concept was in that story. If its on some of these wordpress books that you have to be more cautious about it. So in fact uh, expected to apply just to those things. So the principles subscribers to data base is like chris and the chief. Well check dow jones and lexis nexis. But the overall market for that services is now much bigger. I found that i have a 300. 00 Law Enforcement and intelligence agencies across the world. We use them as of us. I lost a number of, of the process Going Forward agencies, including metropolitan police, comsearch on command, the National Crime agency, and the city of mountain police. An old comes on to me that they have i to strips and still all check. You also have various mortgage provide disease and thats of these are screening services. You have to utilize charge the commission screening potential beneficiary charges against the state device and also the department for international development. One of the key Services FinancialRisk Assessment data base is alpha is what they call sanction screening. All you sanction, and that means is there anywhere in the world that prevents the bank from doing business with you because they have either a central, youre paying or they got, they are involved in terrorism. That could, you could be from my country, which is functions like iran, m o for businesses sanctions and us to buy, you know, for both terrorist activity and politically sanctions as well. There are all kinds of countries as that. And organizations who for reasons of that i put i describe that folks organizations, theyve done life as towers. So for example, the united, our adverts has a habits of describing organizations connected to the most Muslim Brotherhood wold issac thinks that is connected to most and brotherhood as service. With that, not that even the types of piece of. Ringback the nice ations and so they classified as toes and so on inside these already be or i believe does the same and so on. We embrace them, which the claims to be a decent fact country should not tolerate. Tom, i wanted to look into peter owns point in more detail and did a search for sanctions issued specifically by arrow countries. He found that in 2014, the analogy that are of them are said issued a list of sanctions against over 80 islamic movements and organizations around the world. One of the groups listed on will check in the countering terrorism funding category is the federation of islamic organizations in europe, all the f i o e in brussels. Its made up of 27 separate islamic organizations in different european countries. Time i noticed that this listing was made by will check immediately of to the s i o e was included on the use list of sanctions groups published in 2014 he asked the president to the f i o e, about the connection between the u. I e list on his organizations, inclusion on the well check data base on a website. And thats the point on what most of the work you have gotten method you might want to have them all read. My nephew is that he has the most of the time that he would check why they then why mean . Well, how do you know of worship . We know what else and ed and well check you out. The new uh yeah. Within my father, the shut the whole bank, my them as that the most of them as that the well of a and miss when i the, and the, the when bass, my head, the items that i, that thats the, it wouldnt be heavy and then play mad well, most of the home is that, so the, the, how is it yet, the engineer and most of that one of the month and that is that it had and that it also, and how soon are you the jimmy . What i look, i meant to have the check then no it have. Yeah. And then well check, ill just call name is timothy timothy. Have a daddy cuz human was a system of with a few heavy and then call email claimants name of fat and the, you know, the thief and those leaves and they wont take covey. Im based, copy and paste, but do financial risk data bases, taking enough responsibility for the information they provide to the clients. It is important to note expect, well check is designed to a lot to use as to possible risk to situations with further scrutiny may be appropriate. This does not mean that subjects included in, well check necessarily test risk. The point they need to understand is there any Bank Compliance officer using a commercially available database, takes all the information with a grain of salt. He needs to look at the references at the bottom and see where did the information come from. The end of the day a Compliance Officer is going to look at the entire background of an individual not just rely upon a, a, a sanctions list or, or negative information which appeared out of a non democratic country. The thoughtful said or no, the boy or no, these are not the one on the mission show us call to make real if youll do on that sheet of who she who do some of these, erica, this is douglas. See who they said to give us a good the very few minutes of how much you middle should you know, says up on my so 1st boss up does that for myself. Sure. No cellphone, as soon as long as it sounds like she actually booked it, it goes, it goes it over to the Tab Department and they said the problem, julie did sync up on the 6th of difficulty. Wonder if, if i should go through, you know, do the vpn is f, im us, im sure. Dont you treat both both sides. It is what you saw as a sub i said, ill see is all ill be assessed. All good. The, do you just say the shop, the 1st most everything personal service ticket, the no it still has most of the boy is that how much will get for the the web of the provide is of this information roofing as a boundaries another is all in the why a, a culture of a similar situation that some of the social media companies, they are a platform provide. They are an aggregation with other peoples use. And that means they have to include waivers to say that while they take care of that, what the end of the night device, they are not responsible for the content that they are actually getting to me out. They are merely aggregate to you. Im presenting it to the things to make their own judgments on so they have to be careful to assess the human impacts. This kind of have time i had so far relied on the 2014 well checked database that Chris Vickery had found. But eventually he was able to view will checks 2019 database with the help of the world checking side to to agree to help on condition that he remain anonymous. He found businessmen, politicians, journalist activists and opposition leaders in different arab and islamic countries. On the 2019 database the source as well check, used to list some individuals and organizations. Oral funds have lloyd news websites with their own agendas and known for their anti islamic views. When they searched for several well known muslim organizations, some had been included under will checks countering Terrorism Financing category template, then checked the listing of some of the contributes as to this program. The entry for the federation of islamic organizations in europe had been updated in april 2019 but the f i o e was still listed in the terrorism category and the source was still the u. I. E. Sanctions list, the files of margie dallas here of defense brief hold most has been changed as co, their relative quote settlements. They being removed from the funding terrorism list, but added to the individual and organizations, categories visit nothing really helps the finsbury pump most. As a bank which sbc it off on the assessment of his, of how one of the websites have model for about them to have called the in the a safe. Im not eliminate that he other than a better. Let me at the house on that again and pass along is that all of the item is give me some of the trustees to whom when that must be something hot. What do you mean by the visual mouth of jenny . I wish we should stand off against the specifications. We shouldnt allow Foreign Countries to use that the power of the state to the flat. Its political opponents terrace. I mean, i love them to be punished in this country too because they like somebody that go to buy it kind of as a result of a cluster classification by a foreign country. So i really think its a terrible problem. I think it needs to be taken up politically share to prevent this sort of highways, but very severe iris means of it as some people is. The effect of these classifications representative will check had declined, ill just say are, are a big sofa to appear in an interview on when given a further opportunity, biologist era in 2020 they again declined. However, in april 2020, the legal representatives did issue this long statement. It said that, well, chuck is one of many sources used by banks and other businesses to help them meet the regulatory requirements and the identified potential financial and related crimes, such as Money Laundering on the financing of terrorism. It went on to highlight how big a problem Money Laundering is between 2 and 5 percent of global g d p and well check is not secret. Neither is it a blacklist nor a Law Enforcement function. It provides information on individuals and organizations collected from reliable and reputable Information Available in the Public Domain. And it does not prepare reports on individuals independent of this public information. It said, well, check is governed by the 2018 british Data Protection act. And that these Data Protection laws expressly provide for information relating to suspicions of fraud, Money Laundering, and terrorist financing to be exchanged to allow banks to comply with relevant legislation thats included. It said being regulated by the u. K. Data protection agency. The Information Commission is often. Busy and it said its applies objective criteria when including information in the Public Domain, political judgement, clothes are not made. And it is inaccurate to suggest. But while check assist and a government in their agendas, a continued that it does not offer opinions and to that terms and conditions require our customers to conduct that own investigations when using information in well to check. The statement ended by saying that anyone can request copies of data held about them and ask for it to be updated or corrected. So is there an argument that financial Risk Assessment databases should be directly regulated rather than simply by association with the Banking System as a whole. The database is themselves on regulated at the moment losely because of the consumption of those data bases is from the folks who are themselves regulated. And this type of a, i mean there is plenty to slice the out of it should be regulated possibly. And to ensure that they apply robust controls, but that would come with the cost and then that would be reflected into the charges that i apply to the bank. And that would then be reflected into the challenges i applied to you may, it is really important that these funds existence of what they do because the banks would struggle to avoid new clients without it. And therefore, they do need to be able to make a commercial return on that very significant investment. Data protection is another key element of this debate. The installation commission, as office in the u. K is the independent until authority dealing with Data Protection reporting direct clicked upon them. And its told al jazeera data has an Important Role to play in helping Financial Firms identify individuals and organizations that seem to use the Case Financial system to loan the proceeds of crime and fund. Terrorism should take reasonable steps to ensure the accuracy of the data they use to base their decision on we have been carrying out detailed inquiries into this issue and the work is on going through these types of ice. Hes always guessing guys requesting this off a lot in the onto stating cuz its not by human beings of human beings of this, from my experience and i have to have worked inside institutions interact with the is this, they are pretty responsive and have good mechanisms for letting them know what the information that they carry is, right. It is not perfect. The existence of financial risk databases raises several questions that should concern, as or is it legitimate and say, for a private company to collect data, which although its in the Public Domain, comes from sources that may very well have the political agendas. Is it reasonable for that data then to be made available to subscribe . Its unbeknown to the individuals and organizations concerns . Oh, for that data potentially to be used to close Bank Accounts and seriously affect the financial status of those involved the all of the regulatory safeguards of the Banking System. A low sufficient to cover these data bases, and to protect the rights in Good Standing of individuals and organizations who may on which emily be caught up in the eval, whitening net of fig financial data.
