With armenia. Come specifically for the fish. And feasting and cattles waters why its the perfect home to the seas gentle giants. And its for real madrid are on the brink of winning the Spanish League title a win against the rio will ensure the championship for a record 34. 00. Now the British Government is blaming hackers associated with russias Intelligence Agency of targeting Corona Virus Vaccine Research as well as its democratic processes while britain the United States and canada all say russian activists have attempted to steal information on covert 1000 Vaccine Research in all 3 countries Canada Spy Agency has warned Health Organizations to take action to protect themselves from hackers or britain also says that. Russia attempted to interfere in last years general election by publicizing leaked documents related to a planned Free Trade Agreement with the us they were in turn used by jeremy corbins campaign against Boris Johnson the kremlin is denying both allegations britains government is also expected to release a long delayed report next week on alleged russian interference in both in the brics that referendum 4 years ago as well as the general election in 2017 well we can now speak to our correspondent paul brennan who is in london for us paul i want to start with this latest allegation of russian hacking around the covert 19 vaccine just what do we know about whos behind this. Its a fascinating report thats been published and circulated by the u. K. s National Cybersecurity center gives it extra credibility is that its not just the u. K. Thats produced this report has been done in conjunction and in collaboration with the Canadian Intelligence Services and 2 of the american us Intelligence Services department for Homeland Security in the National Security agency as well so this for agencies involved in this what its looked at is the activities of a group called a c t 29 otherwise known as the jukes perhaps best known around the world as cozy bet that done some high publicity high profile attacks in the past this latest report on that tactics and what theyre up to says that throughout 2020 theyve been targeting a whole range of organize ations diplomatic Governmental Energy organizations but among the groups and organizations that have been targeted are bodies that are involved in the search for a vaccine coronavirus the covert 19 virus why would they be involved in searching for vulnerabilities in those kind of organizations well according to the reports its highly likely with the intention of stealing information now the u. K. Is very angry about this and the foreign secretary dominic robb has come out the staff than in and said frankly it doesnt matter what the motivation was the actions themselves were reprehensible were not entirely sure but it feels in any event as if its being done for their own purposes whether its commercial or otherwise in any event as i said given the world is trying to come together to fight a vaccine for peoples british people here in the u. K. But also for people around the world im afraid its a pretty egregious behavior and it deserves and it should be called. And all we have had rather a lot more from today is wow. Yes i mean. You wait an hour for a bus and then 3 come up once you 89 months for russia reports now due to be released next week and 3 come along at the same time you have the u. K. National cybersecurity report today youve got done like rob also talking about asians that there was russian involvement in the 2019 general election through whats described by the Foreign Office as amplification of leaked illicitly leaked documents specifically as you mentioned in the introduction documents relating to the u. S. U. K. Trade negotiations and whether or not the National Health service would be up for sale in inverted commas after brecks it as well as that of course we are waiting for a report due to be published by a Parliamentary Intelligence Committee next week or whether russia was also involved in trying to have some kind of intervention meddling if you like in the brics it voted 2016 on the 2017 general election served 3 major vote 3 major polls in this country important to say at the end of all of this russia is of course blanket lee deny any involvement at all to me to peskov who is sorry is violent putins personal Spokesman Says weve got no information who could have been behind these hacks we can only say this russia has nothing to do with these attempts we dont accept such accusations nor groundless allegations of interference in the 2019. Election so that theyre issuing a very strong denial but the evidence being put forward by the u. K. And their allies pretty strong as well paul brennan there across all those developments for us from london thank you very much paul well ali i think he is a former Deputy NationalIntelligence Officer for transnational threats at the u. S. Central Intelligence Agency and he told me about the steps that countries should be taking in defense against cyber attacks. We know its not a secret now that for decades. And since then russians intercepted literally every telephone call me in the United States and with computers you can process. Identify words that are of interest and so on so this is just routine we also know that even after the fall of the berlin wall of and because of that the russians maintained as many Intelligence Officers operating in the United States as the cia employed globally so their effort has not diminished whatsoever and theres no surprise at all that they are theyre stealing things that they want you need a robust Counter Intelligence service in the case of the United States as the f. B. I. To do you need to have an aggressively informed and. Careful private sector you need to engage with google and amazon and choose the company and they need to have very robust in particular in todays world Cyber Protection measures and then the 3rd thing is that you also have to exact a cost you dont just say oh please stop this we have found your hand in the cookie jar you can cause them pain too and its a its a cool reality through mutually assured pain danger that other countries may have a 2nd thoughts well i ben is going to take to all of that hes the lead expert at the center for actual politics that said moscow based think tank and he says the countries havent presented hard evidence of russian involvement. Of course those reports are not being verified by a direct solid evidence provided in the court of Public Opinion so the british. Security services are making a statement about that but at the same time theyre not providing card evidence that would boost their case both domestically in britain and internationally and that is quite expect the logical the moscow denies any involvement in that now in the past few years as you know russia has been accused of meddling in the number of elections both in the United States in the 2016 president ial election and in elections in the europe and other regions of the world russia has consistently denied taking a new partner meddling in those elections at the same thing moscow has offered to hold the talks on Cyber Security and talks on not meddling in each others internal affairs though the United States the American Government cares if used to making your public official pledges of not meddling in russias internal affairs and so at this point its a its at the stand still moving on now and the u. S. Attorney general says americans have become overly reliant on chinese goods and Services Including coronavirus protective equipment william bar joined the growing chorus of u. S. Officials publicly criticizing the Chinese Government in recent days he went on to say china was engaged in an economic blitzkrieg campaign to surpass the u. S. As the worlds preeminent superpower or lets go live now to our White House Correspondent kelly halkett to speak a little more about this can be some really tough talk there from bill barr. This is what weve seen from the trumpet ministration for days even weeks now this is an administration angry particularly the president that covert 1000. 00 this hit the United States decimating its economy an Election Year and looking for someone to play with cues in china if not being more transparent thats manifested itself as you point out today in the strong words from the attorney general william barr taking about hollywood taking aim at Tech Companies like microsoft apple accusing them of essentially collaborating with the Chinese Communist party saying that what theyre doing is a sense szell essentially self censoring their product in order to make sure that it does not upset them in any way to hang on to that very lucrative market in china and the 1000000000 more than a 1000000000 people that live there so this words from the attorney general are essentially look at why not use your power stand out for stand up brother against those that violate human rights heres what he had to say and every year at the Academy Awards americans are lectured about how this country full sure of hollywoods ideals of social justice but hollywood now regularly censors its own movies to appease the Chinese Communist party i suspect it will disney would be disheartened to see how the company he founded deals with foreign dictatorships today can he does seem like things continue escalating there are now also reports that the u. S. May ban members of the Chinese Communist party what are you hearing. This is something that is being considered internally thats what im hearing is that this is in a draft form this could potentially be some sort of a form of a president ial order and what this would do is essential it would ban millions of people from entering the United States anyone and their families affiliated with the Chinese Communist party now already weve had reaction from china from the Foreign Affairs ministry saying that this is in their words pathetic but what we can expect from this should it go ahead is potential tit for tat measures that weve seen already whether its the china trade war or more recently and some of the actions that have been taken by the United States met with displeasure by china now in terms of how this might play out what were expecting is that this could take the form of much luck what we saw in 20171 of the 1st executive orders of the u. S. President with regard to its travel ban for some muslim majority countries the argument being made legally is that there are certain security requirements that need to take place in order for people to have these reciprocal agreements and that china would be in violation of those agreements and therefore that is why this ban would be put in place but again still in a preliminary form we understand not presented to the president but certainly one of many measures that are being considered we will watch carefully to see as the White House Press secretary holds her briefing in the coming hour what more she might have to say we will indeed candy how cant they with all the latest from the white house thank you very much kimberly well speaking of china its the 1st major economy to report growth since the start of the kovac 1000 pandemic Chinese Government statistics show an unexpected 3. 2 percent increase in the 2nd quarter to the 2nd largest economy suffered its worst a slump in nearly 50 is cheering up downs now some industries and a back to normal but Consumer Spending remains down. The epidemic is still spreading faster sees the restart recovery of the World Economy and trade has been very difficult domestically the recovery have to modest slow the pressures of stabilizing and surprises and safeguarding residential employment a huge correspondent katrina you has more from beijing on just how the government is explaining this 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 work to now were back to Single Digits in terms of 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 they are celebrating this saying its a success it proves that the chinese measures to contain the corner 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.
