But into the Program Egypt is seeking urgent clarification from ethiopia about whether it started to fill the reservoir of africas largest dam on the blue nile ethiopians state television reported on wednesday that the filling of the ground renee salts dam had begun the 5000000000. 00 project is the centerpiece of ethiopias dared to become africas biggest power exporter egypt and sudan the fear reduced Water Supplies downstream one didnt want the river down and until they reach an agreement with ethiopia last month egypt told the un it faces an existential threat from the down Charles Trafford reports now on the complex regional politics surrounding the project. Its taken 10 years to build and cost close to 5000000000. 00 u g o p s flagship Infrastructure Project is a great source of national pride. But the grand ethiopian renaissance dam on the blue nile has caused tension with downstream countries sudan and egypt from the start be coping government says the hydroelectric dam is vital for the development of this immense landlocked country which is a population of around 108000000 the country plans to expulsion kristie across the region and says the dam will stop seasonal flooding in neighboring sudan. But egypt says there are a number of outstanding legal issues that need resolving and filling the reservoir too quickly could reduce its water supply and may pose an existential threat egypt does have legitimate concerns i mean that egypt relies on the nile for 90 percent of its fresh water needs and the largest share of the river runs through each direction territory and what we have has had in egypt is a situation where they have a significant gap between the amount of water they produce and the amount of water they can shoot. And with the rapidly growing population of iran 100000000. To this problem only getting worse ethiopia also has strong claims because its the source of the blue nile the largest of the river gnarls tributaries ethiopia was never included in a colonial era agreement between egypt and sudan the gives the lions share of water to egypt there are many finally balance calculations including internal political ones.

Strikes on yemens northern province and killed at least 25. 00 civilians including children and thats according to heath the rebel controlled Ministry Says a Coalition Aircraft hit several homes in the district while a family celebration was taking place at least 7 other people were reported injured hussain of a hearty as a yemen and who the Affairs Analyst he says the u. N. Must do more to hold the saudi u. A. E. Coalition accountable for civilian deaths. In this it is not near any frontline. I didnt think that this would be any excuse for the saudi why they target this is because from the beginning of the war they have killed by died if the strike more than 17000 yemeni civilians and it just hit in some media as they have always say that this attack came after. Has targeted saudi arabia with ballastic missile and drone on monday and actually that attack on so you on monday it came as a retaliation i thought because on sunday the day before a saudi has killed 910 civilians including 5 children. But i believe that one main point that that actually given that i would agree like to continue this type of attack against civilians is that you insecurity generality could 30 remove all of the name for all children. Killers of children about 2 weeks ago they did this many times before that so i think if the United Nation will not help so i would be responsible for this killing i believe that thats all we can continue.

Twitter is scrambling to fix a major hacking of its system seen the fake message posted on some of the most followed accounts in the world they become appearing a few hours ago asking followers to donate to a bit coin account with the promise their amount would be matched among those hacked with the former u. S. President barack obama where the message says donations would go to those affected by covert 19 president ial nominee by amazon boss jeff bezos microsoft founder bill gates apple and tesla have also been hit. You know fleet is the chief Technology Correspondent for she joins me now from San Francisco good talking with us again on the Program High Profile public figures would often be targets of the hack but seemingly so many and why is twitter the target well i think you know this was an account all about opportunity and what youre seeing is you know very high profile people reach a lot of people very quickly bit corny as something that can be turned into cash very quickly anonymously so i think somebody found a very clever way to extract a lot of money from people in a very quick amount of time i was going to just mention about bitcoin why has bitcoin been the legal. I mean largely because its unlike you know currencies or other things where there might be recourse you know if i did a credit card scam you know you could reverse the charges or whatever bitcoin whoever holds it owns it and so i think the key here is you can scam it and potentially hold onto it even if you get caught or even if people figure out how it was done which at this point we still dont know when you have major influences or philanthropist slike brock obama or bill gates to mention some of the potential victims is it probable that just as many members of the public come forward for this ruse of the last few hours. Well i mean certainly more people dont fall for it than do but i think when it comes from twitter and twitter caused a little bit of this problem they verify certain high profile users and say this is who you think it is and so that added to the problem is these were for the most part verified account so you look at it you say oh this really is this person and is it a little unusual that barack obama is asking for money yes but in the context of comit really maybe not so much now with bill gates and some of the others it seemed a little more out of character but you know you think of the your typical email scam and this is actually more plausible than that now again it does say you know you should be where you should think twice and you should never donate money indirectly you should always go to the charity you think youre going to go and that was posing really my next question about what you should look out for with scums like this if approached or if you read something that you really want to get involved with so i have a general policy you know if somebody calls i say you know im happy to read more information but i dont donate over the phone and i think the same should go over twitter or email you know even if you want to donate if you learn about something over social media great but when you want to go ahead and donate really make sure that you go directly to the source that you want to give the money to because anything in between could be potentially misleading and unfortunately there are people out there that are looking to take advantage of peoples goodwill and if there are you know feet always good to have you on aljazeera thanks very much for your time thank you.
