Interviews with political figures and news updates.
finish line in the special, or whether he actually inspired more democrats to turn out and whether it was john kasich coming in late that helped persuade people in the suburban districts, in jackson county, well, it's okay to vote for him because governor kasich is popular and he says it's okay. >> the fact of the matter is a race that is so close that it looks like it's going to go to an automatic recount, there are many factors. for president trump to take credit, there's no way for him or any of us to know that that was the decisive factor. i think what this race shows is two things. one, it's that president trump, because of his unpopularity and his chaotic leadership style and the constant drama and chaos around him, is putting into play districts that never should have been competitive in the first place. the second is that you just don't know how much of an asset trump can be to candidates, and not because of his lack of
telephone as he was, according to the indictment, according to records, calling his son and saying, sell, sell, before it was publicly known that this firm was being basically wiped out by the failure of a medication. >> i have to tell you, in my time with chris collins, he did not hide the fact that he was stumping for this company. it is surprising that a member of congress can be on a board and have fiduciary ar responsibilities and still be a member of congress. when i came into congress, i actually terminated all of my board service, presuming that that's what you had to do. i didn't know that you could still be on boards. i assumed that, because common sense tells you that you shouldn't, you know, be able to preside over and oversee work that could inure to your benefit. i think here's the environment for democrats, is that democrats, what you see in ohio, you keep your head down, you run
your district, you talk about reform in a meaningful way, you put out bulk proposals for reform, because if anything is uniting the country, it is this need to have washington cleaned out. and i think there, the attitude of donald trump is baked in with a lot of people, it's even baked in with those of white house are vehemently opposed to him. that's why it's incumbent on democrats in all these districts, a much wider playing field, to play to their strength, which is on policy, on the concerns of their district, and making sure people know they're going to come in and be reformers. i think that's a winning strategy for democrats. what donald trump demonstrated in ohio is that he opened the playing field for us come november. >> but i should quickly point out that democrats as well as republicans are not calling for him to resign pending the trial, while he's got this cloud of an indictment over his head. and nobody is calling for that
because most recently, their own senator menendez was, you know, cleared of these charges and refused to resign. so nobody is making that call. the only call that we've seen is the speakerer h ehas stripped h his membership of a house committee, and the poorly named house ethics people, i can say that now that -- let's first of all, all listen to what rachel maddow's team uncovered last night, which was a surreptitiously taped audio recording of devin nunes at a fundraiser for catkathy mcmorri rodgers, she had a squeaker as well in that primary. >> if sessions won't unrecuse and mueller won't clear the
president, we're the only ones. which is really the danger. that's why i keep -- and thank you for saying it by the way, i mean, we have to keep all these secrets. >> he's basically saying in that clip that they've got to win because that's the only way to stop mueller one way or the other. >> and that's the only way to protect the agenda. the republican party -- >> protect the president. >> -- still supports the president very strongly. if the republicans lose the house of representatives it's katie bar the door from investigations by democrats. >> this isn't just another member of congress. he is chairman of the intelligence committee. i mean, contrast this behavior with the more traditional role that senator burr has taken, the chairman of the intelligence committee on the other side. >> no question that the senate has a more bipartisan, and i agree, better model in terms of this investigation than the house does. it's become a partisan issue in the house. >> it was devin nunes who went
surreptitiously at night to the white house and consorted with people on mike flynn's staff, the nsc, started accusing susan rice of all sorts of things that were completely unfounded. he has so politicized this. then after being forced to recuse himself, still stayed in the middle of it and blocked subpoenas from being voted on for key witnesses. >> i lay this at the foot of speaker ryan and now kathy mcmorris rodgers. this is so disappointing, knowing her. it lays bare the agenda, which is to protect the president. what i want to know is where in the republican leadership, whether it's from the speaker or from now their conference chair that says that our responsibility is to the people of the united states and not just to protect the president from an investigation that's closing in on him. >> michael, let me just ask you, you mentioned the republican agenda. and i'm trying to figure out what the republican agenda is. there's the trump agenda.
but the republican agenda that paul ryan used to have is no longer deficit reduction, that's for sure, they're outspending what democrats used to do. >> yeah, i mean, we do need to make the distinction between the trump agenda, which on immigration, on trade, is very different from the republican agenda. there's still protecting tax reform, increasing american energy production. the things bringing us record economic growth and a strong economic situation, those are worth protecting. >> let's talk about the reality tv star, omarosa, whose book is coming out. there's talk there are tapes of whatever sort. >> lordy. >> i mean -- "lordy" is right. first of all, her tenure in the white house, you covered that. she was fired. >> barred from the premises. >> although people from her camp
dispute that. obviously she got on the wrong side of john kelly. >> that's exactly right. it's also kind of -- this is so symbolic of the people that president trump surrounds himself with. somebody who is profiting off of the access to him. and you've seen that with the people who are now in a federal courtroom across the river. you've seen that with people who were on his campaign, who are now lobbying, who are now running pacs. it's just, there is no culture of ethics around this president. it's all about personal enrichment. and i think omarosa, by going out and selling this book, represents that. >> we'll have to leave it there for now. what an all star cast. donna edwards, jeremy peters, susan page, michael steel. this just in, first lady melania
trump's parents were sworn in today as new u.n. citizen. their immigration spoke, assuring the public that the first lady's parents did not get any special treatment. >> they have travailed a wonderful journey, like most have, millions have in getting citizenship and waiting the requisite period of time. the application, the process, the interview was no different than anybody else's. and coming up, punishing putin. the white house hitting russia with new sanctions for using a banned chemical weapon against a former russian spy in the uk. we will have russia's angry reaction, coming up next. stay with us. you're watching "andrea mitchell reports" on msnbc.

national security analyst. juan, on russia reacting, this is dmitri peskov, kremlin spokesman, and he says such decisions taken by the americans are absolutely unfriendly and can hardly be somehow associated with the constructive, not simple but constructive atmosphere that there was at the last meeting of the two presidents. well, constructive for whom, the helsinki summit? >> the russians are reacting in the way that's predictable. they were hoping the summit at helsinki were usher in a greater openness towards russia. these sanctions signal two things, one, the u.s. officially blaming them for the nerve agent attack in london, and slapping on what are even stronger sanctions to isolate the russian economy and to affect even potentially the existence of russia/u.s. trade. the russians will not react well to this. keep in mind, the russians have always seen the arena of
economic warfare as part of the competition with the united states. so they see this as a bit of an act of war, another act of isolation of the russian economy. that's why they're reacting the way they are. they're threatening no doubt titanium exports and other things the u.s. needs. >> i guess i was not aware that we rely on russian government made engines for our rockets. i knew we were relying on them to bring our astronauts and supplies to the space station, but i didn't realize, clint, how reliant we were on them, or juan, first to you. >> what's interesting is how entangled we are with russia, and a lot of this playing out in terms of sanctions, why there's delay. the state department says we have to make sure u.s. businesses aren't affected by these sanctions. i don't think anyone really knew the impact or how integrated our economies are in many ways. at the same time, when we talk about deripaska and the aluminum
industry in russia, some of the sanctions could literally destroy those industries over there, which is why you do these things. so i'm not sure these sanctions were thought through, but they're a necessary step to combat russia. >> the president rhetorically seems to be on one track, certainly with his performance in helsinki with vladimir putin, but the rest of the administration, treasury and even the nsc and certainly the state department, are responding to pressure from congress, from republicans in congress, and trying to keep the pressure on russia. >> absolutely. and you saw this with secretary pompeo, making this official determination from the state department that the russians engaged in this nerve agent attack when then triggered these sanctions from a 1991 law that requires the u.s. government to put in place what are in essence two rounds of sanctions. the first will happen in two weeks. then there's going to be a 90-day period. that's where you have a menu of potential sanctions that the administration can choose from that are fairly draconian.
and so this is a really important point that you make, because i think the u.s. government continues to react to the reality of russian behavior and to use u.s. tools and laws to effect it, while the president has obviously been using softer language and diplomacy, as we saw in helsinki. >> and i should point out for our viewers, for anyone who doesn't know, juan ran the sanctions program under george w. bush, a very effective one, out of treasury and out of the ns krechl nsc. >> thank you. >> clint, there's talk that the white house is drafting an executive order possibly to preempt stronger congressional action to authorize the president to sanction foreigners who may interfere with u.s. elections. this may be an attempt to broaden the scope beyond russia, we hear the president saying there's other countries, china and otherwise who interfere with elections and could be hacking. yes, there are other hackers, but other than russia, we don't know of others who have hacked into elections. >> that's right, andrea, there's no evidence to point to any other country. if it did happen, i'm not aware
of it. i've not seen significant interest or influence coming out of any of these other countries. i think what's important to note from this is, you know, the repercussions of the helsinki disaster. we are seeing the white house essentially scramble over the last two weeks to maintain control of its own executive power. the legislative branch, congress, has essentially been the ones to push both these sanctions and the implementation of these sanctions. you saw congressman royce, a republican, really going at the white house about not following through on these sanctions. so i think the key thing to look at is, how do they keep control of election interference? the white house over the last week has had to demonstrate they're serious about this. we saw that somewhat bizarre press conference but at least a positive sign with all the agencies stating what they were going to do for election interference. i'm sure the white house is trying to come up with something to point to to say they'll take it seriously for 2018. >> secretary pompeo testifying before the foreign relations committee, dan coats in the white house that day, and also
of course in aspen, still saying nobody seems to know what happened during that two-hour private meeting. but the kremlin has been repeatedly putting out, day by day, their version, including relaxing sanctions. so the president talked about a lot of things, including a referendum, you know, in it ukraine that he may not really understand the significance of, the danger, of course, of these one-on-one meetings. briefly, clint, senator bill nelson who doesn't usually speak, you know, without knowing what he's talking about, and i know that congress has been briefed on a lot of this, he is talking about florida having been infiltrated, their election databases were -- now, he's up for reelection, but he's also on the armed services committee. do we know anything about the russians getting into the election hacking now in florida for the midterms? >> i ha've not heard anything substantial as of late beyond what we know from 2016. but florida is a key battleground state. it is one where we have significant competition, it will be very valuable in 2020.
we have to look at this hacking and interference and what we've done to essentially protect the integrity of elections. what has always been i think a little misunderstood is people have said, how did the russians know how to do this? you can watch any cable news program and you'll know what the swing states are and which states are the most valuable. whether it's 2018 or 2020, a simple hack in one of these contentious states, whether it's florida, pennsylvania, ohio, these key locations, it's creating great concern in this country. people can't believe their vote is actually being counted, they can't trust in the institutions. to secure democracy, it's something we have to take far more seriously in the coming months. and this is of course there's a key senate race in eveand everyf those key senate races could determine who controls the senate. north korean officials are issuing another angry rhetorical blast at the u.s. in recent days, accusing secretary of state mike pompeo of upping american demands for
denuclearization without sanctions relief they say they were promised. by all accounts, the talks are stalemated, contrary to president trump's triumphant claims of success after the singapore summit with kim jong-un. but there is one small gesture, a gesture from kim's regime. it's not so small for the two sons of an american sergeant major who never returned from the korean war. a single dog tag finally making a long trip home. >> the identification tag of your father. >> charles and larry mcdaniel, charles a retired army chaplain, larry a former football coach, were only 2 and 3 years old in august of 1950 when their father, a decorated world war ii veteran, was suddenly deployed to fight in korea. they never saw him again. >> i think you grow up, you deal with grief and you push it aside. i remember as a boy, sometimes it surfacing a couple of times, and crying. that hasn't happened for many,
many years, obviously. you don't think it's there, then someone calls you on the telephone and tells you a story about the finding of a single dog tag, and all of a sudden those feelings come back, rushing out from a very deep place. so i shed a few tears. i can say that. but it's a mixture of feelings too. there's some relief and some at least partial closure that actually my father for sure died. that seems much more probable. >> he simply represents a whole generation of people who love the country, were patriotic enough to go sacrifice their entire life for us. i think if anything comes out of this, it should be that, that people of generations that have followed should be more attuned
to what those who went before them have sacrificed. >> their father's dog tag may or may not be connected to 55 sets of remains returned in a solemn ceremony last week. the first returned by pyongyang in 11 years. and the pentagon now says that new dna technology provides some more hope that families like the mcdaniels may get answers in the coming months after waiting a lifetime to find out what happened in that battlefield half a world away. we'll be right back. george woke up in pain.
lawyers in open court, in front of the jury, when he learned that their expert witness had been in the courtroom throughout the duration of the trial. now, the prosecutors had asked permission for that, it's actually fairly common to have an expert witness in the courtroom, because they're not testifying about fact or giving an opinion, and they need to know what has been said so they can give an opinion about it. the judge said it's not his policy and he scolded them in open court yesterday in front of the jury. overnight the government filed a motion for a curative instruction. they supported it with the part of the transcript where the judge said they had permission to do that. and so today the judge did say to the jury that they should disregard and set aside the statements he made to the jury, because he may have given that instruction in the past. but he did apologize and move on. i think that was a good moment for the prosecution, because you worry that the jury is taking all of these statements from the judge in a negative light. >> and i know he has a reputation for doing this in the
past, most often against the prosecution but against both sides at times. but the evidence still, at least the weight of the documentary evidence, seems pretty strong on the prosecution side. we'll wait to see what the defense does next week. >> yes, so now we're getting to the part of the case where in a very methodical if not tedious way, the prosecution is putting in evidence of all the bank fraud. they're putting in bank documents, loan documents, income statements, through bank witnesses. they're very credible. they're really just walking through, describing what their job was. but in the course of this, demonstrating what the lies were. yesterday, the judge had said he would not permit the prosecution to put in e-mail messages that paul manafort had sent about this unless the witnesses themselves had some connection with it. they could be admitted but not shared with the jury at that moment, which is a very difficult situation for the prosecution. and now today, he is letting those in. so it may be one of those situations where if you push back against the umpire enough,
you might not get him to reverse his call on this decision but maybe it affects decisions down the road. >> barbara mcquade, thanks so much again for your take from alexandria, at the courthouse. 44 years ago at this hour, at noon eastern, president nixon resigned to avoid being impeached because of the watergate scandal. nixon and his wife pat walked across the south lawn to marine one where he famously turn around in the doorway of the helicopter and waved his farewell. and lifting off from the white house for the very last time. before that departure, president nixon bid an emotional farewell to his staff in a speech in the east room. >> always give your best. never get discouraged. never be petty. always remember, others may hate
you, but those who hate you don't win unless you hate them. and then you destroy yourself. h. before you and your rheumatologist move to another treatment, ask if xeljanz xr is right for you. xeljanz xr is a once-daily pill for adults with moderate to severe ra for whom methotrexate did not work well enough it can reduce pain, swelling and further joint damage, even without methotrexate. xeljanz xr can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis. serious, sometimes fatal infections, lymphoma and other cancers have happened. don't start xeljanz xr if you have an infection. tears in the stomach or intestines, low blood cell counts, and higher liver tests and cholesterol levels have happened. your doctor should perform blood tests before you start and while taking xeljanz xr, and monitor certain liver tests. tell your doctor if you were in a region where fungal infections are common and if you have had tb, hepatitis b or c, or are prone to infections. don't let another morning go by without talking to

the shooting and the response, a surge in political activism was sparked by local residents. this week, voters took another step in that direction, a big one, ousting long time incouple went st. louis county prosecutor robert mccullough who faced national scrutiny and criticism after he declined to indict the officer who shot and killed brown. mccullough's democratic opponent, city councilmember wesley bell, a former public defender, ran on a platform to reform st. louis county's criminal justice system. with no republican challenger in november, bell is poised to take over the county's top prosecution office. wesley bell now joins me from st. louis. thank you very much, congratulation s on your victor. what is the larger meaning of you inhabiting this place, instead of a career prosecutor? >> well, we ran on a campaign that was predicated on bringing people together, inclusion,
making sure that everyone had a voi voice. i think that resonated in addition to the issues and ideas that we also ran on. i think it represents an acknowledgement that there is a need for criminal justice reform. there's a need to address issues like mass incarceration. but there's a lot of divisiveness not only in the region but around the country. and that's why i think it's so important for us to strike that tone of bringing people together and working together if we're going to really solve the issues and problems that we face. >> four years ago, the whole nation was absolutely gripped by the emotions and by the frightening results of the anger that the community felt and the police response. who knew that local police departments had this kind of brute force, well beyond what the national guard would even have, normally.
what are your flexreflections n four years later, on what happened those days and nights? >> you know, it's symbolic of how important the relationship is between law enforcement and the community. serving on the council, you hear -- city council, you hear about people being upset about their streets. and they can get angry, let me be clear. but once that street is fixed, everything is good. but when someone has a bad encounter with law enforcement, that doesn't go away so easily. and that's why it's so important to continue to push for initiatives, community policing initiatives, continue to push for better relationships between our men and women in law enforcement and members of the community. and so i think that's just something that we've got to keep on working on and keep striving too, because there's no relationship more significant and important than between law enforcement and the community. >> what difference does the national government have in that
four years ago, i don't need to tell you, you had not only president obama and the civil rights division in the justice department, but you had eric holder coming to ferguson, and you had action taken at the national level. >> yeah, and there was. and when you look at issues like this, they can't be siloed. criminal justice reform is a national issue that needs to be addressed on all levels, locally, statewide, as well as federally. so it is heartening to see the call to action around the country, to start addressing this issue, because again, we're dealing with people's lives. >> and i think your father was a police officer, your mother a county public servant. as you come from a life of public service, what are your immediate goals as the new county prosecutor? >> first i have to say he's a retired police officer. he reminds me of that almost every day. >> okay. >> but, you know, our goals are first and foremost to help
people and keep st. louis county safe, which is the job of the county prosecutor's office. one way we're going to do that is by increasing and better utilizing our divisionary programs for nonviolent offenders. we know when people get the treatment they need, the tools they need in the toolbox, they're less likely to reoffend. it also saves us taxpayer dollars. most importantly, it helps people, it helps families. that's one of the things that we're going to start addressing, day one, or actually before that, as we start putting our transition team together. >> wesley bell, congratulations, we look forward to seeing what you do in the future. >> thanks so much. coming up, lost in space. is america falling behind our military adversaries while the president focuses instead on creating a space force? last night, jimmy kimmel launched his own recruitment drive for the new branch of the military. take a look. >> we're the strong. >> the brave. >> we are the space force.
>> the space force. >> the united states space force. >> we're not entirely sure what we do. >> but whatever it is, it sounds totally bad ass. >> i hope i get a light saber. that would be lit. >> that would be lit. >> so we fight aliens, or -- >> i have no clue. just shut up until we get the spaceship. >> we get a spaceship? >> the country is joining on you to join the space force. it's donald trump's idea. i never count the wrinkles. and i don't add up the years. but what i do count on... is staying happy and healthy. so, i add protein, vitamins and minerals to my diet with boost®. new boost® high protein nutritional drink now has 33% more high-quality protein, along with 26 essential and minerals your body needs. all with guaranteed great taste. the upside- i'm just getting started.

try head and shoulders two in one. the president has been outspoken going after china for its trade violations. but an even greater threat to america's national security may be from china's military modernization. "the washington post's" david ignatius writes in part america is still largely wedded to legacy weapons of the past, superbly engineered but super expensive. aircraft airiers, bombers, fighter jets and submarines. the chinese are happy for the united states to keep building carriers and bombers so long as they deploy the more advanced
technologies that can disable these systems. msnbc political contributor david ignatius joins me now. david, tell me about your concerns. you've been talking to a lot of experts and know a lot about this. what are the real weapons we should be focusing on? >> what i'm hearing the most about is the way that artificial intelligence systems, a.i. is our shorthand, are being applied increasingly to weapons of war by the chinese, by the russians, and at a somewhat slower pace people fear by the united states. this is the future of warfare. every expert i talk to says that. and there's a real concern that the chinese that are spending billions and billions of dollars are really focused on this and are ahead of the united states and we're just so wedded to these systems of the past that we love every aircraft carrier, but those aircraft carriers are vulnerable and will be increasingly in the future. >> i know the former defense secretary, ash carter, tried to
move this along with silicon valley and other research institutions, but it slowed down. now, is that because of the sequester, is it because of lack of support in this administration? >> i quoted in my column about this several days ago senator john mccain, who spoke of the military industrial congressional complex. there are such strong interests that are wedded to the procurement, processes and weapons systems of the past which represent dollars for contractors, votes for congress, things for admirals and generals, it's just hard to break that. it's going to take leadership from secretary mattis, from the white house, if the united states is really going to step up to this challenge. i heard that over and over again, andrea, from some of the top experts who i was just meeting with this last weekend. >> let me just tell you how far back this goes. i think you may recall this as well as i do.
there was a former budget director named cap weinberger who was ronald reagan's defense secretary. when i asked david stockman, who was then the budget director, why they couldn't cut the budget, he said cap has placed these defense contracts in every key congressional district. >> it is the system. the military services are brilliant at lining up votes to preserve the existing programs that they have. they understand that we're in danger of losing a step in this next phase of defense technology, but they almost can't stop themselves. what we watched today with the space force and vice president pence as an example, the air force is so concerned about its fighter jets that the argument is that they just haven't been paying attention to space the way they needed to the last 10, 15 years. >> at the same time, there's a
lot of opposition not just from entrenched bureaucracies. this is mark kelly, former astronaut, just in the last hour with chris jansing. >> my comment that i made about seven weeks ago. you know, the air force space command already does this. at peterson air force base in colorado, they do this with about 20,000 people. might sound like a lot, but compared to the size of the other branches of the military, it's relatively small because -- and it's sized the way it needs to be for the threat. >> do we need the whole civilian bureaucracy that would support another branch of the military just to move in this direction? what is the point? >> so the point is to break the resistance to giving space the importance that it needs. it is unfortunately a fact that our space systems on which the
united states depends absolutely to project power, we can't do anything anywhere around the world without the space systems that are communication, command and control. those have been left essentially unprotected because the air force did not see the threat from russia and china coming. my sources tell me that the russians and chinese now have weapons in space that could disable our key space assets if they wanted to do it, if they wanted to start a conflict and prevent communications. so the question is how do you organize to deal with this better than the air force has been doing. i understand the argument that you don't want to have a terrible bureaucratic turf war, you don't want to create new bureaucratic positions and obstacles, but something, andrea, has to be done better than it's been done. i've been at peterson air base and seen the existing officers and programs. they're good, it's just in an air force that's still dominated by the cult of the fighter jet,
it's hard to break through if you're in another part of the air force's culture. >> david ignatius, a fascinating debate. thank you so much. thanks for being with us today. more ahead. we'll be right back. the line between work and life hasn't just blurred. it's gone. that's why you need someone behind you. not just a card. an entire support system. whether visiting the airport lounge to catch up on what's really important. or even using those hard-earned points to squeeze in a little family time. no one has your back like american express.
so no matter where you're going... we're right there with you. the powerful backing of american express. don't do business without it. don't live life without it.

our topic this week is cyber crime a first report takes us to the philippines where a ring of online fraudsters was busted last year and a massive operation the perpetrators exploited people's hopes dreams and greed and sweet talk them into handing over shoot sums of cash. on june sixth twenty eighteen a special police unit raided a call center near manila and detained almost five hundred people working there. the outfit was allegedly involved in a scam that cost unwitting people around the world hundreds of millions of dollars . they'd all received a phone call campaign where you get. a small amount of the from. the other. an elevator or the brick wall they get.
there. and that is that the whole make model. a former member of staff turned whistleblower and told the philippine national police and the cyber crime group how the scheme operated. the police then spent months gathering evidence before moving in and shutting the operation down. they money for people who are showing interest to invest so they receive emails that if they want the best they can they they can provide assistance such first day we offer. minimum of two hundred fifty dollars us dollars us as the start of the investment they will see their money growing from day to day and when they show interest on investing more does the find that they will for that's. the people accused of running the scam come from
israel and twenty sixteen they set up the call center in the philippines called marketing the operators allegedly persuaded elderly people in south africa new zealand and australia to invest in nonexistent assets and in the process gained access to their bank details money from the scam ended up in a bank account in denmark none of it has been returned. in a moment it took time for some of the cole center operators to realise they were involved in a scheme to rip people off. but i mean that in order reselling it we weren't selling anything that. the agents were selling dreams that's what the company said. we were supposed to encourage clients to make a deposit to invest. in manila alone around five thousand cyber crimes are reported to the police every year. it's hard for even the
specialist unit to keep up with what the scammers are doing their tricks are evolving all the time. so it's really a difficult case not only this case but most of most of the cyber crime cases it's something new from the law enforcement do to the judge just the to the prosecutors it's something new. according to one estimate and twenty seventeen close to a billion people worldwide were cheated out of around one hundred forty six billion europe's common tricks include stealing passwords by means of phishing emails setting up fake online investment platforms where potential targets leave their names and phone numbers direct tacking into computers and networks and online romance scams which in the u.s. cost victims some one hundred twenty seven million euros last year the thing is are you buying into the right people are you investing to the right people are you
investing for the right company is or the company you're only having your concessions on like you don't see these people you don't see them in person you don't know where they are that's the characteristic of. you know. so i think it's the reason why there's a lot of big names of cyber crime in investment. the dark depths of the internet that's for cyber criminals usually hide sometimes they break into your computer directly that requires a fair bit of know how and that's where the hacker comes that the stereotype is the skilled computer whiz kid for whom a fire wall is just another hurdle to hop over but who are hackers really and what motivates them we broke it down for you take a look. hackers are they good or bad in one thousand nine hundred two in the us a group of six teenagers calling themselves the four one force broke into some
of the country's classified computer systems including one that a nuclear weapons research lab. public was alarmed the f.b.i. investigators and the perpetrators were identified. some of them went on trial for the intrusions and the term hacking began to be associated with crime. but hackers are not all inherently bad the computer security scene differentiates between good hackers and bad ones white hats have a legitimate agenda for instance they look for security flaws in computer systems to reveal all correct them. gray hat hackers haven't quite made their minds up they search for vulnerabilities and systems and occasionally exploit them. the black cats are bad they're often motivated by greed to damage computer systems or steal data. like in the two thousand and eight cyber attack on one of the world's biggest payment processors the hackers in that case wrote their own software smuggled it
into the payment firm's computer system and made off with up to one hundred thirty million credit card numbers. but distinguishing the color of a hackers hat isn't always easy when it comes to hacking what's right and what's legal is not always clear cut. sometimes illegal behavior can end up revealing other illegal behavior. a good example of this is the panama paper scandal in it gray hat hackers accessed millions of documents illegally then they used them to expose tax evasion and fraud by well known and influential people. back in one thousand nine hundred two with the four one for hacking was in its infancy now it's become a massive it's you in a digital networked world. and in a virtual world just as in the real one the dividing line between good and bad sometimes very hard to define.
now when companies get hacked it can cost them dearly not only if sensitive data gets stolen but also because huge amounts of share value can be wiped out estimates say that the global cost of cyber crime related incidents currently amounts to some five trillion euros a year access to sensitive corporate information can occur through spongy fire walls or outdated operating systems however more often than not it's employees and they're easy to remember twelve thirty four fifty six password that provide a crucial gateway. the weakest link in every computer system is the people that work with it. and employees are much easier to trick them technology they can help you break through a company's security shield nearly hard for all hacking cases are linked to mistakes made by employees. in most books spoof emails are
a classic where hackers pose of someone else or leaving a u.s.b. stick lying around that someone sticks in a company computer or a compressed p.d.f. file sent in an email disguised as a drawback occasion it gets printed on the back against control of the printer to. try as an employee can become a gateway to my employer's network. unlocking peyton's and business ideas hacking is big business bigger than ever in fact computer security for mcafee as the maids it may have amounted to six hundred billion dollars in damages last year that figure includes companies liability risk and damage to their reputation my passwords and no match for cyber criminals. a leopard is passionate about online security back in the nine hundred ninety s. he kept stumbling on the data of unsuspecting users who didn't take enough care so he went into business advising firms on how to protect their data. it's like taking
all the money out of your company's bank account and piling up the cash in the yard for all to see it's basically the same thing everything's at stake because no company today works without computers and phones and you and cyber attacks can be costly last month alone million giant norsk hydro was attacked its share price plummeted wiping forty million dollars off the company's value hotel chain marriott also had it systems breached exposing the data of millions of guests including credit card details and passport numbers. paper can even rarely hear about the most spectacular cyber attacks because they're spectacularly good ideally the victim will never even know about it that's the mark of a successful hacking so you don't read much about it in the media from in. one's head cars are in they have two key objectives industrial espionage aimed at quietly
stealing as much information as possible without being noticed or extortion malware is used to shut down an entire system which can be reactivated only in exchange for money refused to pay up and you lose your data that's what aims to prevent materials kozlovsky is a member of his team and his best headcount today he's testing corney coming alters cloud services on behalf of the company if hackers were able to break into the cloud they could quickly access sensitive documents and customer data. to first we analyze their web site. we want to test out all the standard weak points. and i can then use those results to find other errors or security loopholes that could be used to carry out further attacks on the system. kuntar. corney coming alters i t security chief of staff are now wants to acquire additional external security for
the company and that's needed. we have tens of thousands of attacks every day some of them dangerous so far we've averted the more and we want to keep it that way. so is the firm's clout foolproof after all. we found nothing that could have been directly exploited. the biggest risk here too is posed by the employee news. and that's not our social engineering is skyrocketing with hackers seeking to. see the employees in suits divulging their passwords so they can penetrate the system and with him on something. this kind of social engineering or human hacking works well in the age of social media where we all tend to give away more information and we should. once we've been hacked we become accessories whether we like it
or not. now as we've learned there are the black hats who do a shady business at the white hats who might use their skills by working for an i.t. company or for the government like for germany's foreign intelligence service for example where master hackers are urgently needed a license to hack that's how the agency is trying to recruit a new generation of computer whizzes but seeing that young hackers usually don't have the most approving attitude towards the concept of nation states and governments who would have a resume here well we found one hacker that was willing to talk. spending hours days weeks trying to get into a system and getting nowhere can be very frustrating but when you finally succeed it's an amazing kick. interviewing lucas is an amazing kick for me to look at
this isn't his real name and we can show his face the work he does is highly sensitive. he works in cyber espionage at germany's foreign intelligence agency the b.m.d. but no one is supposed to know that. we hardly allowed to film anything including handing in our cellphones and passing through a number of security checks. we need lucas in a distant corner of the building the press box person and the safety officer i present throughout the entire interview. what exactly do you do you know obviously i can't go into detail about what exactly it is i do basically i'm a hacker that i intrude into i t. systems to gain information that it's true that the typical cases involve figuring out what's happening abroad. you might want to know what's going on in country x. or y. . for example you want to find out about weapons and defense technology somewhere
organized crime or of course terrorism these are all areas in which there's a serious demand for hacking. he makes this sound very normal lucas is about thirty that says much as he's willing to say. hacking skills by himself and sent it on spec application to the b. indeed a few years ago. now he has a job he can't tell anyone anything about. i usually tell people i have an office job in i.t. and then people usually don't bother asking any more questions it sounds like all i do is install printers and so on and no one's interested in that. so you know. the b.m.d. is an urgent need of people like lucas and i t experts with an unconventional approach. a glossy p.r. campaign is designed to improve its image and the service is deliberately targeting
job fairs and university students the trouble is potential candidates know their skills are in demand and that they can earn more in the private sector. at first glance that is at a competitive disadvantage we do try to be an attractive employer. that is what the spokesperson says what does lucas say. i get to do things that aren't legal in the outside world i also get to feel i've done something useful my contribution ends up in a report and makes a difference that it's not just the standard security tests that companies carry out. but actually has consequences in terms of foreign policy. which are consequent i enjoy that out and it's worth getting paid less for a low in fact the pay is pretty decent. look at can't imagine working anywhere else he's a civil servant so doesn't need to worry about getting fired but anonymity is
everything. a few people know what i do know my immediate family and some close friends know it too. but in general the responses ok you work for the foreign intelligence agency this time obviously you can talk about it and that's it. sharing nothing of my life i'm not sure that would work for me it's not talking about your work when you get home can be hard but i knew what i was letting myself in for. but doesn't make it any easier but i can live with it. and i'm good friends with two or three of my colleagues so if i really need to i can always drop by their offices and let off some steam scots. it must be strange leading a double life knowing things the general public will never be aware of i feel like i got a sense of what it's probably like but have i learnt anything not really the india
is a secret service is very good at making sure that what it does stay secret. many of us have gotten used to digital solutions to our real world problems missing the right shoes to outfit order them on amazon don't want to bike to work in the rain just open your car sharing up well our next report is also about finding digital support but for a serious situation despite recent pushes for empowerment women in india still face a great deal of harassment and abuse in dark alleys villages. and entrepreneurs hope sir found a way to help. there was more. i did boy very very and
i'll get him to get out from a life. it was the one kind of clothes. these women a speaking out about a subject that's often brushed out of sight india is one of the world's most dangerous countries for women. elza marie desilva knows how it feels for years she didn't like going on business trips by herself. when she was fourteen a stranger groped her on a train. sexual harassment and assault are part of everyday life a many girls and women in india. in twenty twelve a brutal gang rape on a bus in delhi shocked the nation and triggered protests suddenly the vast problem of sexual violence took center stage. to silver
discovered that there was no reliable data on the extent of the problem she resolved to change that and to devote herself to helping women she gave up her business career to do so. school for social entrepreneurship in berlin she wanted to meet to silva and learn about her organization before i started doing this work i have not shared my story and once i started doing this i said to myself if i'm expecting some. story then i should be ready and i think that's also what you want to achieve on the big scale with your organization. the power to what has happened and through share their stories absolutely because you know we are talking about young girls who feel they can achieve anything and. you know they don't see the differences between them and the boy but as they are growing up you know society put those.
you. go out in the night except. fear can constrain women's lives parents keep their daughters at home men don't want their wives to take public transport to work professional opportunities amassed this is the kind of thing aims to combat with the online platform she established safe city it crowd sources personal stories of sexual harassment and abuse and aggregates the data on a map it works worldwide but has so far called sean in about fifty cities not only in india but also in kenya cameroon and then pull for example. the aim is to raise the pressure on authorities to take action as well as to encourage girls and women to speak out and stand up for their rights. i did open the doors
did happen to me. did not mean. it never. and you still always be. no matter how much it haunts me. no matter how. good i am even now. i still have the guts to face the world and tell them that this happened to me and yet be unfazed because now we know it was not very forward. these young women are really confident because the big can stand up for themselves then nor their rights it makes me feel really proud that i've been part of creating
the space for dialogue on this issue and bringing confidence to these women so that they don't feel afraid to access their rights or access opportunities and these young women are going to change the world because of their confidence. india has a long tradition of wrestling one of many activities reserved for men throughout the century but according to. society is slowly changing many younger people simply do not accept the constraints women have to endure it's normal that. it's a new normal. money and for other young engineers have developed a device worn on a respond that transmits location details to emergency contacts and also records. that start up has won prizes for the device which is called safe approach for the team has secured funding and is now manufacturing it. first this as soon as you put
it it gives me a friends and family people ok. one major problem really know what though. the sport. has a lot of safety security got these three thousand companies and they've got it. and there are seven million people employed in that so that's made up everything they do where we are building a sporting goods their group of people who can actually come in and see people out . he says the police alone cannot guarantee women's safety he wants to set up a platform to transform the security market first in india then worldwide this illusion that tech they are crucial intelligent and. i think however we can let's use those technologies to create influence and change at a level where we can but let's not think that those are the only solutions we also
have to think about other ways much more grassroots ways of how we can change mindsets too and violence against women. changing attitudes is also central to elsa married to silver's agenda also need to ploys high tech to make city safer for women she also wants to empower women at home because danger does not only lurk in public spaces most finance against women occurs within that families. so new technology can not only be used to clean our bank accounts it's also there to help and support people around the world and that's a positive note on which to end this edition of made for me and the entire team here thanks for watching.
the be. the be. the be. subject.
to the be. small cuts in smaller the changing the people making it possible to go to africa. fantastic right. as they set out to save the environment. that i learned from one another the book and work together for the butcher. cooking up for. w. . and.
i think it's everything first i'm a muslim. school much different culture between here and the. so challenging for everything. from the syllabus i think it was worth it for me to come to germany. shop and got my license to work as a swimming instructor here to share knowledge to children nothing to it's just one of us to just assume. that's your story take part share it on info migrants dot this. this is a fifteen year old girl. being gang raped. this teacher is beating a boy for talking back and class. for the rest of the class once as.
i'm sure a toddler is being hit by his mother. breaking up lots. of child sleeps in the streets because her family through her. fear. online bullying. pushes a teenager over the edge. just because you can see violence against children doesn't mean it isn't there make the invisible visible of us might violence against children disappear.

here in new york. >> reporter: tonight, a look inside the cavernous javits convention center in manhattan, now the largest hospital in the nation. teams of military doctors taking in patients, checking temperatures, monitoring ventilators. but new york governor andrew cuomo says even this will not be enough. he's calling for the navy hospital ship the comfort to start accepting covid cases. today there are only about 40 patients of any kind on the massive ship. >> i'm going to call the president this afternoon and ask him to shift the comfort from non-covid to covid. >> reporter: the surgeon general says the u.s. is now entering the period we have all been dreading. >> the next week is going to be our pearl harbor moment. it's going to be our 9/11. it's going to be the hardest moment for many americans in their entire lives. >> reporter: in new york state, more than 4,700 have died from the coronavirus. >> it is very hard to see the
number of deaths we are having. it's frightening, it's disturbing, that amount of loss. >> reporter: still today, a glimmer of hope. the death rate here may be slowing. the rigorous social distancing possibly paying off. the governor saying new york is nearing the apex and the curve may be flattening. >> the total number of hospitalizations are down. the icu admissions are down. and the daily intubations are down. those are all good signs. >> reporter: but cuomo also warning -- >> we get reckless, we change, we are not compliant in social distancing, you'll see the numbers go up again. >> reporter: but even so, hospitals here are overwhelmed. pushed to capacity and beyond. >> pretty much the entire emergency department is a hot zone at this point. >> reporter: dr. john marshall took abc news inside maimonides hospital in brooklyn. >> i sent out the ventilator update for the morning. there are 50 right now. >> reporter: the doctor's team

effectiveness against the virus is unproven. so basically people started buying out hydroxychloroquine? >> my pharmacy had it, but it was pulled. but a dear friend of mine found a pharmacist in beverly hills, and i finally got it. >> matt with us live from los angeles. as that woman told you, hydroxychloroquine is hard to find because so many people with the virus, desperate to try anything. the president expressing hope on this, but the doctors on his team have been careful about what they're saying about it. >> reporter: everybody is. it was originally designed to treat malaria. now it's treating lupus and rheumatoid arthritis. and we've spoken to people across the country who believe the drug contributed to their recovery. we don't know if that's the case. and the scientific community is saying it could take weeks or months before studies can prove that the drug is effective against covid-19. david? >> matt, thank you.
and new developments after the navy captain was relieved of duty. after sounding the alarm about the safety of his own sailors. the captain himself has now reportedly tested positive. and the acting navy secretary who fired him, addressing the crew on the ship. describing the former captain as stupid. you can hear the shock from the sailors. here's martha raddatz. >> reporter: these are the videos posted by sailors from the roosevelt just days ago, cheering in support of their departing captain brett crozier. a scene causing a major embarrassment for the navy. the acting navy secretary who fired crozier flying to guam to address those same thod, overhehip's bl one of the rooms and shared with the media site task and purpose. modly belittling the captain. >> if he didn't think that this
information was going to get out into the public, in then he was either "a," too naive, or too stupid to be a commanding officer of a ship like this. >> what the [ bleep ]. >> reporter: several times in the recording you hear voices on the ship sounding disgusted with modly's accusations. although he would not have heard them at the time. >> it was a betrayal. and i can tell you one other thing, because he did that, he put it in the public's forum and it's now become a big controversy. so think about that when you cheer the man off the ship, who exposed you to that. >> reporter: president trump has been critical of the captain for writing the letter as well. but a short time ago, he said he's going to look into this. saying the captain's career has been very good before this. and he doesn't want to destroy somebody for having a bad day. david? >> martha, thank you. there was news on possible tests to see if you've had coronavirus. to check for antibodies. dr. jen on that in a moment.
