A british woman who went to syria to join eisold when she was a schoolgirl wins the right to return and challenge the removal of her citizenship. And im proud of how much now have all the sport including. Theres a 33. 00 draw against south. Title in a row. Europeans top court has scrapped data sharing privacy agreement with the u. S. A decision that could have far reaching implications for businesses the case was brought by austrian privacy activist max sram so over the way that facebook sent personal information around the world now the ruling ends whats known as the previously shield its supposed to protect you or penes data when its transferred to america the court says the deal is no longer valid because many u. S. Tech companies are obliged to give some access to government surveillance the u. S. Says its deeply disappointed adding it still studying the decision to fully understand its practical impacts. Well the case began washrooms challenge facebooks data safeguards he says some personal information hasnt been protected when its transferred from europe to other parts of the world but this case has wider implications it could shake up the way thousands of european and american businesses transfer data overseas in 2015 sherms one another case ending a similar e. U. U. S. Deal called safe harbor both cases stemmed from revelations by american whistleblower Edward Snowden of mass surveillance by the u. S. Basically the court of justice says all necessary transfers are still possible so there is not going to be a situation where you cannot message your friends in the u. S. Anymore but you have to separate for example messages within europe and messages that actually go to the u. S. And then have to say ok only messages to go to the u. S. Are actually sent to us servers but messages between 2 people in the end of for example have to state somehow in europe i think the only solution that we can possibly see is serious surveillance reform in the u. S. Because that now becomes a business interest the Silicon Valley will simply realize that either u. S. Laws are going to be changed to a certain extent or they will literally have to move a lot of their operation to europe and even split their systems into 2 parts are going to go on to is codirector of the maastricht tech lab and she says the ruling is going to have far reaching consequences. The case is basically about 2 decisions of the European Commission one from 2016 and one from 2010 and particularly the one from to sept 2016 that has been squashed by the court this is the Privacy Shield that you were referring to earlier this has been seen as the way in which the European Commission has bowed down to u. S. Influence and marks has been mentioning that this case really shows how the European Union as a whole really needs to take into account that u. S. Surveillance laws needs need reform and need serious reform so in a nutshell this case is about the 2 very procedural decisions but from a practical perspective its about the situation when a user concludes a contract with facebook which is going to be Facebook Ireland for users from the European Union and then the question is how can it facebook us get access to data from things were carland so the answer to that is that its not going to be that easy. None of us are going is under way into a major hack of twitter which sell fake messages posted from some of its most famous users the social Media Company says hackers targeted employees to gain access to twitters internal systems among those affected were former barack obama and a muslim boss jeff bezos were told to get reports. The fake tweets were only on screen for a few minutes but long enough for people to capture screenshots of several before they were removed which is confirmed and identified hackers broke into the accounts of high profile politicians tech company 1000000000 as and celebrities in a scam apparently designed to leo people into sending money to an anonymous bitcoin account twitter followers will offer 2000. 00 for every 1000. 00 they sent 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 bitcoin is 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 talent that might also be a demonstration of twitters weak Security Control as campaigning steps up for the president ial election in november a contest in which twitter is likely to play an influential role u. S. President Donald Trumps account which has more than 83000000. 00 followers was not among those hacked chief executive jet doocy said tough day for us at twitter we all feel terrible this happened we diagnosing and well share everything we can when we have a more complete understanding of exactly what happened i think were probably very lucky that people who took it very chose to use it as a crude scam really i think it could have been very much more impactful. I cant really imagine different ways they could have played out i think were quite lucky that responsibility has been surfaced in way that was relatively benign the bitcoin account mentioned in the fake tweets received 12. 9 bitcoins by the end of wednesday equivalent to around 114000. 00 roughly half that in bitcoin was withdrawn from the account the same day the story a gay to be aljazeera. Azerbaijans foreign minister has been sacked for what the president calls meaningless negotiations with neighboring armenia and that says more fighting broke out on the border despite both sides saying theyre trying to find a peaceful solution both countries say their villages are being shelled by Opposition Forces at least 16 people have been killed since sunday and tension between the former soviet republics has been escalating for several years over the disputed region of not cornel cut a buck or robin for us ian walker has covered the conflict extensively and hes joining me live from tbilisi in neighboring georgia robin just bring us up to date with what the latest is particular with the foreign minister. 1st of all start with the peace on the ground where there had been a fragile. Truce or a situation in hostilities which was broken during the night again both sides accusing the other of starting the latest salvo of rockets and how its shells this took place at about 3 or 4 oclock in the morning again both sides reporting some extensive damage not just on military targets but on civilian infrastructure i was in touch with someone in the Armenian Village of he said that the gas supply had being cut and they had been woken up in the night with that shell fire situation on the ground and now were hearing this Serious Development with the foreign minister mr. Longstanding since 2004 being dismissed by president. Hes going to be replaced by the former education minister. But out of had a lot of experience as foreign minister he was. Obviously leading all the head guy when it came to negotiations over the disputed region of. The president s has been expressing his frustration in recent weeks and again yesterday with the formats of diplomacy he said he had had enough of passive diplomacy he wanted more offensive diplomacy so an indication of perhaps. His frustration with the way things were going and his need to stir things up to try to move things forward because he is there hes expressing their repeated frustration with the fadia the peace talks to bring any resolution to this longstanding dispute over nagornokarabakh and the fighting thats taking place now on. International borders very much i think being driven by that frustration on the as airy side. In neighboring georgia thank you very much indeed. Well another 1300000 unemployment claims have been filed in the u. S. Last week new jobless claims have been mostly steady over the past month after falling over may and early june as many states opened up their economies but now a real openings are being posed amid a surge in coronavirus cases well lets go live to our White House Correspondent Kimberly Hall could kimberly this happening of course at a time for an additional federal funding for unemployment is expected to expire in a couple of weeks. Yeah that is being exhausted and it doesnt appear that there is anything imminently in the works to help out the millions of americans that still find themselves unemployed and also those that are filing new claims as you just reported 1300000 Americans Last week now this number is as you reported largely flat really just down about 10000 from the previous week but what is notable is the fact that there have been almost 3 months or more of steady declines in the number of jobless claims that have been filed and so this is a real concern for this white house because they had been hoping to try and reopen this economy to really get americans back to work to lift their spirits even though the u. S. President has been pushing very hard to reopen the schools something that is also getting pushed back why because weve have these spikes along the socalled sun belt of the United States the south and the western states that as youve reported are positing theyre reopening what does that look like its restaurants its jim its movie theaters places that people like to go to get out of their house now not able to do because of this rising cope with 19 cases so that has made the claim numbers very steady and in fact many bracing in terms of the possibility that they could go back next week so this is a real concern again as i mentioned for this u. S. President because of course he was hoping to cruise to reelection in november on historically low unemployment now all of those gains have been wiped out as a result of covert 19 and also a problem for this president is some of the turmoil thats happening within his campaign specifically we learned in the last 24 hours that he has replaced his longtime Campaign Manager Brad Parr Schell after there really been tension between the 2 since the rally in tulsa oklahoma notably the fact that its one of these southwestern states that of course has had a rise in cope with 1000 cases many people poor. To that rally as being one of the reasons why but the 10 is there was very low when the president was very unhappy about that now theres been this staff shakeup it kind of mirrors some of the staff shake ups weve been seeing at the white house for quite some time and very quickly we should point out that joe biden the Presumptive Democratic nominee he did have some Campaign Shake ups too but they happened much earlier in the campaign and what weve seen now that hes stabilized Just Campaign staff weve seen his poll numbers rising and the president really struggling so this is not good news for the president whether his poll numbers whether its his jobless claims that reelection that once looked so easy for President Trump now really appear in quite difficult as the latest numbers so hit show him behind his rival joe biden by double digits thats our White House Correspondent kimberly halakhah china is the 1st major economy to report growth since the start of the covert 19 pandemic government statistics show an unexpected 3. 2 percent increase in the 2nd quarter and thats after the worlds 2nd largest economy suffered its worst slump in nearly 50 years during a lot done so ministers are nearly back to normal but Consumer Spending remains down. The epidemic is still spreading false data sees the restarts recovery of the World Economy and trade has been very difficult domestically the recovery of. The pressures of stabilizing and surprises and safeguarding residential employment a huge return to you has more from beijing than how the government explains the economic turnaround. Well the Chinese Government has attributed it to being able to control the corona Virus Outbreak now we did have a new cluster in beijing at the end of may beginning of june that was very concerning so many neighborhoods put back into lockdown but since then some draconian measures put in place by the government seem to worked and now were back to Single Digits in terms of no local transmissions in the last few weeks also the government has been ramping up their spending of infrastructure as well weve seen new rail projects of the building projects subway stations built in beijing and other major cities and the government has also been making it easier for businesses to borrow money from banks to invest in their businesses so these a the reasons that the government is stating that weve seen this 3. 2 percent increase in g. D. P. Growth which is quite a sharp turn around from the previous quarter where we saw 6. 8 percent in terms of a contraction the 1st in decades Chinese State media here today on those they are celebrating this saying its a success it proves that the chinese measures to contain the current virus have worked and its also a beacon of hope for other economies that are struggling at the moment but of course we have to take this figure with a grain of salt because its impossible to verify these government figures but it is true if you walk around the major cities here in china certainly in beijing it does appear to be business as usual shops and restaurants are open many people are back to the office and even Domestic Travel is starting to resume. Plenty more ahead in the news hour including a life or death social Media Campaign how a hash tag that went viral halted the impending executions of 3 antigovernment protesters in iran.
