And. Become specifically for the fish you know. And feasting and cattle is waters why its the perfect time for the seas gentle giants. I mean for you francis extend barely to the top of the its only in lead you very sure the points 6 goals were so short and those 7 points clear. Well we begin this news hour with wide ranging i. Q. Zation is of russian interference in the fields of both Health Research and politics the Cyber Defense organizations of 3 nations are placing blame on hackers associated with russias Intelligence Agency now brisson the United States and canada all say russian activists have been trying to steal information on covert 1000 Vaccine Research in Canada Spy Agency has now warned health. Ization is to take action to protect themselves from hackers meanwhile the u. K. Says russia also attempted to interfere in its 29000 general election by publicizing the leaked documents related to a planned Free Trade Agreement with the u. S. They were in turn used by jeremy corbins campaign against Boris Johnson and the kremlin is denying both of those allegations and all of this comes ahead of a much delayed report that the u. K. Is expected to release next week that looks into alleged russian interference in the 26000 bricks that Referendum Campaign and also the 2017 general election well lets now speak to paul brennan who is and london for us paul plenty to cover him lets start with this latest allegation of russian hacking around 1000 Vaccine Research and this is a very fast moving story what do we know at this stage. Well whats happened is that just 2 or 3 hours ago Britains National Cybersecurity Center issued an advisory its a 14 page document i printed off part of it and its an advisory to companies to say that there is a. Organization called a p t 29 it is most likely as in more than 95 percent probability linked to the russian intelligence agencies and during 2020 according to this advisory a b. 29 has targeted various organizations involved in covert 19 Vaccine Development in canada the United States and the United Kingdom whats important to say is that this advisory has been produced not just by the u. K. Its been produced in conjunction with the Canadian Intelligence Services and with 2 of the u. S. Intelligence Services National Security Agency on the part of Homeland Security as well and essentially what its alleging is that maybe 29. 00 sometimes known as the jukes otherwise known as cozy thats probably as most for a 1000000 a well known Hacking Organization has been conducting widespread kind of vulnerability scanning of large numbers of organizations governments think tanks health care. Some of the organizations that they are deliberately targeting during the course of 2020 organizations involved in trying to devise a vaccine for corona virus and on that basis this advisory has been issued and the reaction politically has been very strong indeed. Whos the foreign secretary of britain has described this as completely unacceptable he accused the pavior of a. B. 29 as it describes the selfish interests with reckless behavior and yes the a big backlash here about the revelations that have been included in this advisory paul there is so much else to discuss as well it does seem that moscow is very much on the minds of those investment stan downing street these days now allegations of poll interference in 26272019 can you break this down for us. Well its yes its a snowball and its a big snowball thats been rolling and gathering momentum throughout the day it actually started with dominic robb the Foreign Sector of the u. K. Issuing a unexpected statement before this advisory about a. P. 29 came out a written statement saying that there was evidence that Russian Hackers have been involved in trying to influence the outcome of the 2019 general election here in the u. K. On the basis of extensive analysis said mr robbs written statement the governments concluded it is almost certain that russian actors sorts to interfere through the online amplification of illicitly acquired a leaked government documents what were talking about here are leaked documents about u. S. U. K. Trade negotiations that were taking place those documents were seized upon during the general Election Campaign by the Opposition Labor Party and used to show what labor were claiming which was that the n. H. S. The Health Service would be up for sale in inverted commas if the conservative party won the general election which they did the allegation from the government is that the russians saw these documents online and tried to promote them try to give them a bigger audience in the hope that that would influence the outcome of the election and youre right theres a wider context here as well as in the sense that there is a report due out from the u. K. Intelligence and Security Committee a Parliamentary Committee a long awaited long overdue report so many will say about whether or not there was russians or parents in the bronx it voted 20162017 general election so thats 3 separate general elections sorry 3 separate votes elections where russians are either accused of or were waiting to see whether russians were involved in election tampering essentially paul brennan there for us in london breaking all of that down for us thank you very much paul well we can now speak to Patrick Diamond hes an associate professor of Public Policy at queen. Mary university of london and he was also the head of policy planning in 10 downing street under both tony blair and gordon brown he joins us now on skype from london and mr diamond i want to pick up where paul just left off there there are multiple allegations of russian interference on multiple fronts so starting with this report that were expecting soon its been kicking around for some time now but we havent yet seen it officially published you have a sense of just how damning its contents are. No its difficult i think to know in advance of the publication exactly how damning the revelations in the report will be but clearly the implications for british politics british democracy is very serious as you were just saying in the report this sense. I repeat series of votes in britain 2016201729 c. Ruled by potential interference by russian actors i think as explosive implications really for british politics and democracy is conducted i understand that its not just about exactly what activities russia pursued but also potentially about the way that theyve gone about things on social media with Cyber Espionage and i also say about influence through money potentially compromising institutions how damaging could this be potentially also for people in power. Well its as i say at this stage hard to know exactly what the revelations will mean for the careers of individual politicians and we should say at this time that theres no particular revelations being made for example about the Labor Party Jeremy Corbyn i think that the implications are more generally once the british politics and democracy under sense that perhaps our democracy is being threatened or imperiled by this russian interference it should also be said that its very unlikely that the interventions had any significant effect on the result you were just discussing for example the 2019 general election where of course the Opposition Labor Party used documents had allegedly been acquired through russian sources to try to undermine a conservative policy on the national Health Service of course the conservatives then went on to win that general election very successfully likewise in the 2016 referendum on breaks it where of course again its alleged that there was russian and ference its very unlikely that the outcome of that referendum is in any way explained by that russian intervention so i think we should be somewhat cautious about simply as humane that these kinds of interference is necessarily have a definitive consequence for democracy in politics so well is aiming and then on implications of british politics this report has been delayed for nearly a year now and is really only being released amid a bit of political wrangling within the Intelligence Committee how does this play out for the conservatives here. Well be the circumstances in which the report has been borks. Clearly has race a lot of questions about why exactly the. Report was not released earlier the author of the report of course Dominic Grieve who was an attorney general in the previous conservative administration is now lacked parliament and who got into a series of arguments with Boris Johnson and the current government over breaks it there is a loss of control to see a lot of speculation about why the report has been held back as long as it has having said that though there are many who speculate that the the revelations wont be particularly significant will damning the report tell us probably many things that we know already had to have done and then associate professor and Public Policy at Queen Mary University of london great take you inside here on out of there thank you for joining us a pleasure thank you. Well speaking of hacking twists is investigating a major breach of its systems which allowed the posting of fake messages from some of its very famous uses they include u. S. President ial contender joe biden former president barack obama and amazon boss jeff bezos hackers from a big coin scam operation targeted employees to gain access the joy of getting the 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 were offered 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 because you know 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 a very 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 it 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 Victoria Gate and b. Aljazeera. Now facebook the e. U. And the u. S. Say theyre studying a ruling by europes top court which scraps a data sharing privacy agreement the decision prevents Tech Companies from transferring european citizens material to the u. S. Alexei obrien reports the case was called Facebook Ireland and shrooms 4 words that could have major Global Implications sram says all that and privacy activist meke shrimps so were really really happy with his judgment he launched legal action against facebook and its European Headquarters in ireland arguing his darter wasnt protected when it was transferred to the social media giant servers in the us. The case went from ireland to europes top cotton oxenberg where judges agreed with him 5 Commission Implementing decision e. U. 2016 well of on that 50 is invalid. The court has ordered the scrapping of an agreement called the previously shield which was supposed to keep the doctor of european customers safe when it was transmitted across the atlantic not because many u. S. Tech companies are obliged to give some access to government surveillance the court found that safety cant be ensured this has been seen as the way in which the European Commission has bowed down to u. S. Influence and the court of justice claims that this is not enough so what happens now with the Privacy Shield is that a lot of data transfers are going to have to be stopped. Max rahms has been here before this is the 2nd major data deal thats been spiked because of him the 1st was previously shields pretty serious are called safe harbor the cases stem from revelations by whistleblower Edward Snowden that the u. S. Government was snooping on peoples online data and communications i think the only solution we can possibly see is serious surveillance reform in the u. S. Because that now becomes a business interest in the Silicon Valley will simply realize that either in the us 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 the u. S. Government says its deeply disappointed by the latest decision on facebook in the European Union a study in the ruling i know such as us and businesses seeking surance today on both sides of the atlantic so let me be clear we will continue our work to ensure the continuity of safe officials. Who are doing up hold another global data sharing mechanism used by thousands of companies for things like Cloud Storage payroll and finance while the e. U. And the us must now work out a new way to share data the court stressed that all previously watchdogs must do more to keep users material safe elixir brian al jazeera. British court of appeal has ruled that a schoolgirl who travel to syria to join eisel shouldnt be allowed to return to the u. K. I mean a baguette who is now 20 years old had her citizen or about has citizenship revoked back in 2019 she wants to return to challenge that decision. Is hanoi and he believes the u. K. Will have a hard time arguing that she poses a real threat or i think is for the government to convince the court shes such a Security Threat that. She mustnt be allowed into the u. K. Laws without losing her citizenship and thats going to be somewhat difficult when the u. K. Government accepted 400. 00 resumes some of which were male voices and who salvage a bed in itself in poem and accepted some of which were not in significant risks themselves so when you compare the people the type of people who are governments admitted have come back already as a 15 Year Old Girl who went to school to isis and by all accounts spent her time as a housewife if 3 children. Then one has to wonder what is the Security Risk that that person poses and some of the leaders feeding the issue is well which country would take somebody in these circumstances where. The u. K. Government has expressed this strong desire not to have back the all been about this is whether its even legal more than potentially quite innocently be burdened with somebody who is not their problem so unfortunately s. D. F. And the Kurdish People find themselves having been allies of the u. K. Or america burdened with u. K. Citizens and foreign citizens whove got nothing to do with. There is plenty more ahead for you on this news hour including how state television and ethiopia got it wrong about the giant new dam which is infuriating the neighborhoods. Bouncing back from the coronavirus slump its better news for chinas economy but whats the problem with Consumer Spending. And in sports and night of celebration in portugal as the Football League title is decided.
