Oldest Intelligence Alliance in the world, and for the first time, they are going public together. They wanted to speak with 60 minutes about war, terrorism, and the country that they believe is the greatest intelligence threat in history. There is no country that presents a broader, more comprehensive threat to our ideas, our innovation, our economic security, and ultimately, our National Security. For more than five years, american businessman emad shargi was a prisoner of the Islamic Republic of iran. Last month, shargi and four other americans were freed in a deal that has drawn fierce criticism because of irans strident support of hamas. Tonight, shargi tells his story for the first time. I learned a lot about myself, about humanity, about what is important in life. Being thrown in a cell, its the closest you come to death. In order for pink to do this and this okay. Tighten up your stomach. She showed us she does this. Now sing. Where there is desire, there is gonna be a flame come on come on.

Im sharyn alfonsi. Im jon wertheim. Im cecilia vega. Im scott pelley. Those stories and more tonight on this special 90minute edition of 60 minutes. When youre ready to begin treatment for chronic lymphocytic leukemia, calquence helps you do the fighting. And you can do the exploring. You can do the splashing. The sightseeing. And the playing. Calquence is an oral targeted therapy for cll. More patients begin with calquence than any treatment of its kind, and calquence is proven to work better than chemoimmunotherapy in patients with previously untreated cll. Calquence may cause serious side effects, which may lead to death. These include serious infections with fever, chills, or flulike symptoms; and bleeding problems that may increase with blood thinners. Decreased blood counts are common and can be severe. New cancers have happened, including skin cancers. Heart rhythm problems with fast or irregular heartbeat, dizziness, feeling faint, chest discomfort, or shortness of breath, have happened. Tell your doctor if you have bleeding, heart rhythm, or liver problems; infection, or if you are or plan to be pregnant or breastfeeding. Calquence helps you do the fighting. And you can focus on the things youre loving. Ask your doctor if calquence is right for you. This is american infrastructure. Megawatts of power, rails and open road, and essential services of every kind. All running on countless invisible networks, making it a prime target for cyberattacks. But the same aipowered security that protects all of google also defends the systems running americas infrastructure. For these services. For the 336 million of us living here. [ sighs ] cant sleep .

Tonight, the bureaus director, christopher wray, tells us his main concern is not an organized attack, but lone actors inspired by the violence. We met wray wednesday for an unprecedented interview that included him and the intelligence directors of our englishspeaking allies. Together they know more about the threats in the world than perhaps anyone. Theyre known as the five eyes, and they have never appeared in an interview together. Theyre doing it now because theyre alarmed by china, which they say is the greatest espionage threat democracy has ever faced. But given the war, well begin with fbi director wray on the threat of terror at home. We have seen an increase in reported threats, but vigilance is heightened right now just because of the fluid and volatile environment in the middle east and the ways in which that could spin out in the u. S. Reporter by the time we had gathered for our interview, it had already spun out in the United States. In illinois, a 6yearold palestinian american boy was stabbed to death by a man enraged by the attack on israel. How do you stop that kind of thing . The key that weve found in stopping it more and more is trying to have the right eyes and ears out in the community. And so what we need to have are people in the community. When they see something starting to go awry, calling law enforcement. And the attacks that weve been able to prevent over the years have almost always included somebody whos made that phone call. And the attacks that havent been prevented have almost always had somebody who had that information, but for one reason or another didnt make that phone call. Reporter about 30 americans were killed in the hamas attack. Two american hostages were released friday, which left 10 still missing. Sources tell us its unclear how many of them may be hostages. Israel leads the hostage effort. The fbi is prepared to help. Were going to work closely with our partners, our israeli partners, our u. S. Embassy partners, the whole u. S. Government to do whatever we can to ensure that those hostages come out safe. But make no mistake, this is a dngerous time. Reporter we met chris wray with his fellow intelligence chiefs of the socalled five eyes. From the left, mike burgess of australia. David vigneault of canada, ken mccallum of the United Kingdom, and at the far right, Andrew Hampton of new zealand. The five Eyes Alliance was formed after world war ii to gather intelligence. But this was their first public appearance ever, and they did it in palo alto, california, Silicon Valley, to make this point. The Technology Secrets that are about to change the world in artificial intelligence, biology, and computing are falling into the wrong hands, stolen in a global Espionage Campaign by china. The peoples republic of china represents the defining threat of this generation and this era. There is no country that presents a broader, more comprehensive threat to our ideas, our innovation, our economic security, and ultimately our National Security. We have seen efforts by the Chinese Government, directly or indirectly, trying to steal intellectual property, trade secrets, personal data, all across the country. Were talking everything from fortune 100 companies all to smaller startups. Were talking about agriculture, biotech, health care, robotics, aviation, Academic Research. We probably have somewhere in the order of 2,000 active investigations that are just related to the Chinese Governments effort to steal information. But all countries spy. Reporter mike burgess of australia. Yes, absolutely, all countries spy. Our countries spy. All governments have a need to be covertly informed. All countries seek strategic advantage. But the behavior were talking about here goes well beyond traditional espionage. The scale of the theft is unprecedented in human history, and thats why were calling it out. Reporter they were calling it out this past week in private meetings with 15 top Silicon Valley executives and stanford university. This is not just about government secrets or military secrets. Its not even just about critical infrastructure. Its about Academic Research in our universities. Its about promising startup companies. People, in short, who probably dont think National Security is about them. Reporter ken mccallum is director general of mi5, the uks fbi. So we see the theft happening in a range of ways. One is that we see employees within those companies being manipulated. Often in the first instance, they are not aware of what is happening. We have seen, for example, the use of professional networking sites to reach out in sort of masked, disguised ways to people in the uk either who have security clearance or who are working in interesting areas of technology. Weve now seen over 20,000 examples of that kind of disguised approach to people in the uk who have information that th Chinese State wishes to get its hands on. You have the biggest Hacking Program in the world by far, bigger than every other major nation combined. Stolen more of our personal and corporate data than every nation, big or small, combined. Are you saying that it is a threat to the way of life of democracies . It is a threat to our way of life in a number of ways. The first is that when people talk about stealing innovation or intellectual property, thats not just a wall street problem. Thats a main street problem. That means american jobs, american families, american livelihoods, and the same thing for every one of our five countries directly impacted by that theft. Its not some abstract concept. It has flesh and blood Kitchen Table consequences. Reporter heres one example. When china stole the Technology Secrets of one american wind turbine company, the company lost its competitive advantage, sales collapsed, and it laid off nearly 700 workers. When you encounter a company that isnt sure that it wants to cooperate with you, what do you tell them . I would say that if you are operating at the cutting edge of tech in this decade, you may not be interested in geopolitics, but geopolitics is interested in you. And you would be reckless, not just with my secrets, but with your own companys viability, with your shareholders capital if you didnt think about what that means. We all came into these meetings with the mindset of we want to figure out how we can better help protect you, your innovation, your intellectual property. They all came into the conversations with ideas of ways they can help us help them. Reporter the intelligence chiefs told us Chinese Companies are overseen by the communist party, and for many, espionage is a sideline on behalf of the prc, the peoples republic of china. Is the Chinese GovernmentBuilding Industrial sites in your countries that are actually covers for espionage operations . Reporter David Vigneault of canada. We have seen in the past acquisition of land, acquisition of Different Companies where you when you start to dig a little bit further, you realize that its there is another intent. And we have seen and blocked attempts by the prc to acquire locations near sensitive, strategic assets of the country where we knew that the ultimate purpose was for spying operations. And director wray, have you seen that in the United States . Weve seen a variety of efforts by chinese businesses, in some cases stateowned enterprises, in some cases ostensibly private companies, attempting to acquire, businesses, land, infrastructure, what have you, in the United States in a way that presents National Security concerns. Reporter including investigations recently of Chinese Companies purchasing land and building plants near u. S. Military bases. We welcome business with china, visitors from china, academi exchange. What we dont welcome is cheating and theft and repression. Reporter political repression is another target of the five eyes. They told us theyre fighting chinas meddling in elections and violence aimed at silencing chinese dissidents living in their countries. We had a case that we that was indicted not that long ago where there was an actual congressional candidate who was very critical of the Chinese Government. The efforts were initially to try to see if they could come up with dirt on the candidate to derail his candidacy, then to try to concoct dirt, just fiction about the candidate. And then if that didnt work, there was even discussion about the candidate befalling a horrible accident. Reporter that candidate was yang xiong, a chinese american who served in the u. S. Military and protested chinas crackdown on hong kong. Last year he lost the democratic nomination in a new york congressional race. In court filings, prosecutors say a chinese agent hired an American Private investigator to discredit yang and left the investigator a voice mail saying violence would be fine. Beat him until he cannot run for election. Is that the threat of violence in the United States that we face from the Chinese Government . We have seen over and over again efforts to really stop at almost nothing to intimidate people who would have the audacity here in the United States, where we have freedom of speech, to express criticism of the regime. While we have the allies around the same table, let me ask this question. The catastrophe in the middle east, russias invasion of ukraine, chinese espionage on a scale thats never been seen before are all of you stretched too thin . I think one of the strengths of the five Eyes Partnership is that we share some really fundamental values as countries and as agencies. Reporter Andrew Hampton of new zealand. Part of how you respond to that is by working together as likeminded countries. Part of how you respond to it is partnering across our own countries, as weve talked about, with community groups, with the private sector. Theyre our biggest strengths. Reporter for its part, china said this about the five eyes point of view. We firmly oppose the groundless allegations and smears toward china. Mi5s ken mccallum told us never in his nearly 30 years in intelligence has the threat been so complex. Iran, russia, terrorism. But it was china that was the first to get the five eyes around this table and before the eyes of the public. I mean, essentially what you have with the Chinese Government is the autocracy and repressive regime of, you know, east germany combined with the cuttingedge technology of Silicon Valley. And the combination represents a daunting first of its kind threat for the United States and for our allies. You seem to be saying that the Chinese Government is running a criminal enterprise. Well, i would say the Chinese Government, if they want to be a great nation, its time for them to start acting like one. And that includes abiding by its own commitments not to steal innovation. That includes not exporting repression to other countries. That includes working with all of our countries and all of the other countries that we work with all the time who have common threats like cyber crime, fentanyl trafficking, money laundering. It means not working with criminals but rather working to uphold the rule of law. I remember when i first started flying, and we would experience turbulence. I would watch the Flight Attendants. If theyre not nervous, then im not going to be nervous. Financially, im the Flight Attendant in that situation. The relief that comes over people once they know theyve got a guide to help them through, i definitely feel privileged to be in that position. Andrew just saved big on a laser hair remover at amazon. Because less hair, more air. heres liz, whose bladder leaks drop in uninvited. But instead of period pads, she brought poise ultra thin. So she can bounce on with poise protection in a fresh new look. Okay george, this one is for the prize . Intenso. No, cool. Definitely iced. Nespresso, what else . Rsv can severely affect the lungs and lower airways. But im protected with arexvy. Arexvy is a vaccine used to prevent lower respiratory disease from rsv in people 60 years and older. Rsv can be serious for those over 60, including those with asthma, diabetes, copd, and certain other conditions. But im protected. Arexvy is proven to be over 82 effective in preventing lower respiratory disease from rsv and over 94 effective in those with these health conditions. Arexvy does not protect everyone and is not for those with severe allergic reactions to its ingredients. Those with weakened immune systems may have a lower response to the vaccine. The most common side effects are injection site pain, fatigue, muscle pain, headache, and joint pain. I chose arexvy. Rsv . Make it arexvy. Now Margaret Brennan on assignment for 60 minutes. Reporter for more than five years, 1,975 days, american businessman emad shargi was a prisoner of the Islamic Republic of iran. He spent much of that time in the countrys most notorious prison in a dreaded ward run by irans revolutionary guard. Last month, shargi and four other americans were freed in a complicated deal involving 6 billion in restricted iranian oil revenue. The deal drew criticism at the time for granting Financial Relief to a regime the u. S. Government considers the Worlds Largest state sponsor of terrorism. It drew even more scrutiny after hamas, which is financially supported by iran, attacked israel two weeks ago. With more than 200 hostages remaining in gaza, including some americans, shargis ordeal is a stark illustration of the difficulties and perils involved in bringing american citizens home. This story should have never happened. But i didnt waste 5 1 2 years, margaret. I learned a lot about myself, about
