A very good idea lets do that so they have put forward their subpoena for documents from the Vice President and in that letter saying we want these documents theyve also said that failure to comply by october the 14th would be considered to be an obstruction of justice 3 very important whats important because that is whoa they managed to get Richard Nixon it wasnt the cover up well it was the cover up but it was blocking documents going to oversight congress so theyre saying to mike pence look you hand over these documents theres every chance that youre going to be charged with obstruction of justice which means impeachment for you as well so this hasnt been a good week for the white house friday hasnt been a good day for donald trump and mike pence and the reality is things are probably only going to get worse from this point all right alan fischer with the latest from washington allan thank you. When you were head of the news hour and clearing strength and numbers and syria had as rival factions joined together as part of the National Army. Reporting from the waters off the coast of French Ground right of the migration routes of wales and all the marine species as we listen to the sounds of this. And sport bar has details of a golden night for host qatar at the world athletics championships. And there are reports u. S. President s Reelection Campaign is among accounts targeted by a Hacking Group linked to the iranian government the Reuters News Agency says attempts to access trumps accounts were unsuccessful microsoft has confirmed hundreds of accounts were targeted by the group known as phosphorous they include those of current and former u. S. Government officials journalists and prominent iranians living abroad pedicle hain has more from washington. This is a pretty unusual move but it shows how much things have changed for Tech Companies since the 2016 election microsoft making this announcement saying for the 1st time in this new election cycle that they believe a Foreign Government backed hackers tried to get access to a president ial campaign other not saying exactly which campaign and again this is microsoft alleging irans involvement without actually providing any proof but the allegation is that it wasnt just the president ial campaign it was former and current government officials journalists prominent iranians in america and they said it wasnt a very sophisticated attack of the almost 2700 people they tried to identify what their emails were they were able they say to target about 241. 00 of those people but only succeeded in 4 attack 4 accounts being hacked and microsoft says none of those were government officials or the president ial Campaign Still it does send a message that things are different this time around and Tech Companies are sending the message to hackers especially those associated they believe with governments that theyre not going to stay quiet when carl is a former cia officer he joins us from boston is skype appreciate your time so much can you put in perspective just how big of an issue this is the fact that hackers continue to try to to influence elections. Well the issue of Cyber Attacks by Intelligence Services is probably the number one challenge facing the governments Intelligence Services today and Going Forward there are literally if you have to exact number but literally thousands of attacks per day on american official facilities now they range from the 13 year old student who wants to play up to the russian or in the Intelligence Services and other ones the crisis is that theres really almost no way to stop this its very encouraging however that google has taken a step because the experts assess that almost the only way to have some real effect in minimizing or at least reducing the effectiveness of these attacks is that have all of the Different Companies and industries and individuals sensitized and taking countermeasures on their own no government can stop this from happening it has a lets talk about those companies. How did this issue get away from them if its something that that caught them off guard is it something that they just chose not to manage well i think there it has been a default attitude since the birth of the internet in favor of free access without government stiction to which is based on the american 1st amendment free speech and free strange ideas and thats all very laudable but it also allows scope almost into so for a line evil hostile pardons its only in recent years in the last several years that there have been. Theres begun to be an awareness of the extent of the problem and a shift i think in attitudes with respect to the internet realizing that total freedom means that everybody is vulnerable so how do you make it there be consequences are there are consequences for hackers or the consequences for the companies that dont know enough monitoring i mean what what is it that can rein this in well thats the great question and unfortunately so far then the United States and all countries are spending your huge resources on how to address parity these problems and the u. S. Is spending billions of dollars a year in its Defense National security assessment on trying to address Cyber Threats and the assessment so far so far as im aware is that there is no single or even this series of their defenses that are really effective and that the best defense that one has devised so far is to have a very strong potential oftens and that is mutually assured destruction fear that will say other parties hands for fear of retaliation or are suffering consequences themselves thats not a happy situation and doesnt protect us but that seems you know status right now all right glenn karl thank you so much for your insight we appreciate it. All Rail Services in hong kong have been suspended operators say it is due to malicious bandoliers and by protesters demonstrators have remained defiant against a new ban on face mass chief executive carolan invoked a claudio era law to enforce the bad and gang greater powers to clamp down on the protesters scott heiler reports from hong kong.

Hong kong is not in a state of emergency and we are not proclaiming that hong kong is entering a state of emergency.

Other so that might stop some demonstrators but the banner wont help end the crisis possibly having the opposite effect goes i think some people with the afraid of bearing the legal consequences and are not going to protest in the future i also think that such a hot line approach is not going to work in the long run might come the dia this group of protesters the has been moving about here in the central financial district called started with a march of thousands now its pared down to the hundreds so what theyre doing is theyre bouncing between main intersections and blocking them off after work hours the number of protesters swelled into the thousands again.

Edward the littlest southern white rhino in the San Diego Zoo safari park born at the end of july hes already of big boy is adorable he is fantastic we are just so lucky to be able to have him adorable little eddie is the 1st southern white rhino born through Artificial Insemination in the north america thats an important step toward bringing back another rhino subspecies from the brink of extinction this is nola a female northern white rhino she died in 2015 the animals have been hunted to obliteration in the wild and today there are only 2 northern white rhinos left in the entire world both elderly females living in captivity so the subspecies seems do or maybe not part of biologist barbara durants job involves giving ultrasound exams to pregnant rhinos not an easy task when your patient weighs about 1600 kilos so.

A stem cell is a cell that has a potential to be any other cell in the body eventually they will we want to differentiate him all the way to sperm eggs but theres a big catch female rhino anatomy it turns out is complicated the cervix which you have to go through to deposit the semen is very convoluted it looks like a series of rings like this so we have to go in a series of switchback turns so were going to have to have something that is very flexible that can go around all those curves and thats where engineering Professor Mike comes in he wasnt thinking about impregnating rhinos when he developed this flexible robotic catheter for microsurgery but it turns out its perfect for the job weve developed the robotic tool that is very thin long flexible device that we can very accurately steer through these narrow channels so that we can get very deep into the rhino uterine body and the posit the specimens needed the ultimate goal of this project is to produce a selfsustaining herd of northern white rhinos 1st in captivity and then return to the wild in africa that goal is decades away and direct says she may not live to see it happen but thats ok if we dont lay the groundwork its not going to happen so i think that what were doing now is extremely important for the long game for the long haul dedicated scientists and a bold plan to save one of the worlds rarest creatures rob reynolds aljazeera escondido california still ahead on aljazeera troubled waters on the nile while my egypt and other countries are worried by the largest sand and africa.
