biggest offenders. the cyber security company, of course, has been saying it's identified a hacking group in shanghai with ties to china's military and says it watched those hackers systematically steal information from more than 140 companies. china denying any involvement. and police still have no clue who managed to pull off a daring heist at the brussels airport. thieves managed to steal $50 million worth of diamonds from a plane on the tarmac. on monday night, two cars burst through the perimeter fence, the airport, sped towards the plane. authorities say the men were wearing police uniforms and were heavily armed. they were in and out of the airport within minutes. it is cnn's top international news story today. of course, we are talking about the olympic star pistorius. everybody is following this. everybody is talking about this. it is really quite amazing. another night we're going to spend in jail. we don't know the outcome, whether he's going to be released on bail. this is playing out. this is pretoria, south africa. the judge didn't decide on bail for the double amputee sprinter oscar pistorius. >> the funny thing is this sounds like a trial already. you're hearing all the evidence. the defense lawyers and prosecutors arguing over eyewitness accounts and various other pieces of evidence. got to remember, it's just a bail hearing to decide if pistorius should be free while the justice system does its thing. remember it's not even been a week since the olympic runner's girlfriend was shot to death in his home. cnn's robyn curnow is in pretoria following things now. >> reporter: more interesting details on what prosecutors say happened valentine's day morning and countercharges from the defense. according to prosecutors, witnesses heard arguing coming from the pistorius home for an hour before the shooting. the defense saying the witness's house was 300 meters, about 1,000 feet away. on the stand, the investigating officer says pistorius used a cricket bat to break down the bathroom door. that bat and a cell phone found splattered in blood. using a diagram projected on a large screen, the officers say pistorius aimed his gun at the toilet, pointing out that he had to turn and fire at an angle in order to hit the toilet. police also say a witness heard a gunshot, then heard a female scream, then more gunshots. the defense say no female screamed. defense attorneys pressed the police officer, who admitted that steenkamp's body had no signs of assault or signs of her defending herself. the officer also conceding he could find nothing inconsistent with oscar pistorius' version of events. pistorius said he thought he was shooting at an intruder. prosecutors say police found bullets in a safe in a home. they say that will lead to charges of possessing illegal ammunition. but later the investigator said they did not establish whose ammunition it was. authorities also say they found two boxes of testosterone and needles, which defense attorneys contend is actually herbal medicine. prosecutors say there's no way the killing of reeva steenkamp was self-defense. pistorius knew his girlfriend was in the bathroom when he opened fire. they cited two previous encounters police had with pistorius, saying he could be prone to violence. since they view him as a flight risk, he should be held without bail. with that, court is adjourned until tomorrow. >> and robyn curnow joins us now live from pretoria. as we said earlier, robyn, it sounds a lot like a trial. you hear the prosecution making their allegations. the defense shooting holes in it. what do you think? how is this looblliking like in terms of the chances of him making bail? >> reporter: this is actually quite common, this sort of trial within a trial within a bail hearing here in south africa. it's not unusual, particularly with such a serious case of premeditated murder, the charge being laid against him. it's heightened. the kind of information and evidence that has to be put forward. it just makes it all the more serious. added to that mix is the fact that oscar pistorius is, well, oscar pistorius. so that adds to that dynamic. will he get bail? it's been up and down. it's been like watching a football game today. one hand, early on this morning, it seemed like the state was making an incredibly strong case against him. by the afternoon of cross-examination, pistorius' legal team really shot down, kind of weakened, even discredited the case against the state. so it really is -- i can't call it although this is what an expert says. >> personally, i would like to see him receiving bail at this sta stage. the law can take its course, normal course. we shouldn't have a trial by ambush and shouldn't see immediate trial out there. let the evidence come forth. we've got a decent constitution. ultimately, arguably, we've got one of the best constitutions in the world, and that should be the test in an open society of irness and a decent trial. >> reporter: as you can see, it's dark here. the sun's just gone down. oscar pistorius has taken a few hours ago back to his cell. so he spent his seventh night behind bars. of course, let's not forget reeva steenkamp's family, who is spending their seventh night without their daughter. >> robyn, what is it like inside the courtroom? i know it's a different legal system, a judge and a couple of advisers. who's actually in the audience there? are those family members and friends? is pistorius any different than he was yesterday? >> reporter: absolutely. i think we've chatted about how yesterday he really seemed broken, physically unable to sit up, bent over crying, sobbing into his hands. i mean, just uncontrollable at times. today definitely more composed, and that might be because his defense team really seemed to hammer the state. i think there was a physical sense of him sitting up straighter. his family were in the court behind him. he has a large family, and they tend to fill up a lot of the seats behind him, behind the dock. so there was a palpable sense of optimism that grew throughout the day. it's obviously going to see tomorrow how that changes. you've got final arguments from both sides start around 4:00 eastern time. when your viewers wake up in the morning, they might have a better sense of the decision the magistrate makes. >> robyn, very quickly, the prosecution was thinking him a flight risk, and, again, the defense shooting that down. tomorrow we are going to get a decision or you don't know? >> reporter: i would say we're going to get a decision although i'm not going to put money on it because these things tend to fly away with you. basically, i think there's a sense that closing arguments, there will be a decision. the magistrate will sort of rule on it. i think a lot of people want to see this speeded up. in terms of the flight risk, that was also shot down. it was fascinating. the chief inspecting officer who's leading the investigation said, no, absolutely, he should -- he's a flight risk. he has a house in italy. he has offshore bank accounts. and oscar pistorius' lawyers came back and said, well, how do you know he has a house in italy? and the investigating officer says, well, i just heard about it. so it's that kind of information that came from the investigating officer that really didn't hold up at all. there was one tweet today in court where one of my colleagues said, you know, i have no facts. it's really not a helpful statement coming from the man who leading the investigation like this. >> robyn is a smart woman not to put money on any of this. this changes from hour to hour. >> it does. good to see you, robyn. robyn curnow there in pretoria. extraordinary thing. fighting an invisible enemy overseas. the u.s. is now preparing to do just that, unveiling a plan to take on hackers. they have been attacking american companies, stealing valuable information. >> the white house scheduled to release its battle plan this afternoon. we already know china is going to be the main focus of this cyber fight, and american cyber security firm, we told you about this yesterday, traced an entire hacking network to shanghai. not just to shanghai, to a building linked to the chinese military. david mckenzie went to that building where the hacking is reportedly taking place. >> reporter: driving in the northern part of shanghai, this is the hub of low tech industry, but it's allegedly also a high tech hub of corporate and potentially government espionage. the allegations come from a group called mandiant from the u.s. they say there are tens, if not hundreds of chinese hackers working in conjunction with the chinese government to hack into most of the u.s. companies and steal data and corporate secrets. mandian said, after years of investigations, they pinpointed the hacking to this group of buildings. they said that the hackers would go in to an institution through back door means and spend potentially years there stealing secrets. some of these industries were national security industries, like aerospace, high tech, and i.t. it's clear that this installation of buildings is closely watched by the peoples liberation army, and the allegation is that they're working in conjunction with civilian hackers. as we got closer to take a look, we got in trouble. keep driving. drive away. drive away. we've had to move out of sight of that facility. the question is was that response because it's a military installation, or is there something more here? is this a secret center of chinese bloggers working for the chinese government and attacking u.s. institutions? that's certainly what mandiant is saying, but the chinese government says that's not the case. they say that's a baseless accusation and, quote, irresponsible. chinese say that 14 million computers are hacked every year here in china, and they blame the u.s. the question is is this just the next salvo in a cyber war? aaron mckenzie, cnn, shanghai. >> here's more of what we're working on for this hour of "newsroom international." what's the retirement package like for a pope? haven't had to work that one out for a while, a few hundred years. we're going to take a look at what life will be like for benedict after he steps down. and later, picture yourself stretched out on this baby. that's right, the biggest yacht on earth, pretty fantastic, worth $1.5 billion, that's billion with a "b." what kind of money does that buy you?

>> that's the thing. >> what could he possibly spend his money on? i think it's covered, yeah? >> it's play money. what does a retired pope need play money for? the imagination can go wild. >> taco bell, go wild. >> he'll be sneaking out. a group that protests whale hunting says its boats attacked by japanese ships, calling it the worst incident they've experienced in a couple of years. japan conducts this annual whale hunt despite a worldwide ban on whale hunting. >> they use a loophole. they call it scientific research. this group is well-known down under, sea ship. they say their ships were rammed by japanese ships, fired water cannons, threw concussion grenades at them while they were refueling. concussion grenades are designed to stun, not kill. the group claims japanese ships violated international and australian law by intruding into international the wa ers. japanese and australian governments looking into these claims. and this video is rather extraordinary. this is on youtube. it's showing u.s. troops and the president covered up with flames as well as harsh language. this was posted by north korea's propaganda agency, not surprising. the text says, "united states uses gangster tactics" and that north korea's military is now getting stronger. just a couple of weeks ago, you might recall a similar north korean video showing new york city in flames over this musical soundtrack. obviously, they're trying to show a little bit of bluster, little bit of muscle, if they can, as they conduct these kinds of tests. >> that's the old propaganda unit at work. meanwhile, sounds like something out of a movie. eight armed masked thieves dressed as police officers, which we didn't know yesterday, stole $50 million worth of diamonds from a plane while the passengers were on board. >> are you serious? >> yeah. >> no shots were fired, fortunately. nobody got hurt in all of this. but this happened in brussels airport in belgium on monday night. dan rivers shows us it only took a couple of minutes for them to actually pull this whole thing off. >> reporter: it required chutzpah, inside knowledge, and very fast driving, one of the biggest gem heists ever, and the question is who did it? who would dare to steal $50 million worth of diamonds from a supposedly super secure european airport? it all sounds like the plot of a hollywood blockbuster, a rather unbelievable hollywood blockbuster, the sheer audacity of this heist is breath taking. they simply drove into brussels international airport, flashed their guns, and drove off with tens of millions of dollars worth of diamonds -- and all without a shot being fired. at 7:47 local time monday night, the gang cut through a perimeter fence near a building site and drove parallel to the busy runway in two cars. they knew where to go, stopping a swiss airliner holding three people at gunpoint, stealing bags of uncut diamonds that had been unloaded from a brinks security truck. >> they have returned to the car and sped off again, left the airport perimeter exactly 11 minutes after they have entered. the operation at the airport has taken exactly 3 minutes. so this was a very quick hit and run, very well organized. >> reporter: the diamonds were being transported from antwerp to zurich. antwerp is the world's diamond capital. $200 million of the stones are transported through this airport each day. traders here say they fear damage to their status as a world hub could be significant amid rising concerns over security, but experts say the mastermind of this heist will be tough to uncover. >> i imagine whoever commissioned the heist would keep as far distance as he can, as far as identification is concerned, between himself and the people who actually carried out the robbery. >> reporter: the thieves were reportedly dressed in uniforms to make them look official. with europe's open borders, they could have driven to any one of two dozen european countries by now with the loot that's extremely difficult to trace. dan rivers, cnn, brussels. imagine this. you're sitting at a stop light. have a look at that. that happens. we're going to take you inside a rash of car robberies that went down in broad daylight. this happened in peru. chances are, you're not made of money, so don't overpay for motorcycle insurance. geico, see how much you could save. the delightful discovery. the sweet realization that you have a moment all to yourself. well, almost. splenda® no calorie sweetener. splenda® makes the moment yours™. welcome back, everyone. visiting israel today, the junior u.s. senator from florida and possible 2016 candidate, marco rubio. >> he's getting quite an audience, all the big wigs. holding talks with shimon perez, prime minister benjamin netanyahu, as well as palestinian prime minister salim folead. he sits on the senate intelligence and foreign relations committees. imagine sitting at an intersection, michael. you and i saw this video. unbelievable, right? somebody just bursts into your car, takes all your stuff. your wallet, your purse, anything of value. this is lima, peru. it's not just one guy doing it. a whole bunch of them. rafael romo to explain all of this. i assume their cars are unlocked, these guys, they take advantage of the moment and swoop down on people you would call unexpecting. >> it's a crime of opportunity. they see the opportunity because this is a very busy street. they see people stuck in traffic. they look at the car and see if there's somebody vulnerable, elderly people, people who are infirm, they take that moment, go into the car as fast as they can, and you see the consequences. what you're seeing right there is part of the good news in this really scary news, which is they were caught, and this is the actual police operation when they were caught. i'm glad to say -- and i'm sure the peruvian national police will be glad to say this too. all four suspects were caught. one surprising thing about this, all the suspects were very, very young one was 23. the other three were 18, just barely over the legal age. this is incredible. >> does this happen a lot? >> the good news is that people were probably beaten up a bit, but nobody died. that's the good news. and it seems like -- it seems they were working, according to what police told me, they were operating around that area, which is this neighborhood in peru, as far back as mid-january. police were estimating based on witnesses and where people told them, and they could have stolen as much as $46,000 in just the last few weeks. >> we're seeing young women in the video kind of running around there. are those people who got out of their cars and started chasing these guys? who are those young women in the video? >> police are now looking at the possibility that they had lookouts, young girls, so to speak, accomplices, and were helping them kind of target victims, kind of spot who was vulnerable and who would be an easy target for them to attack. >> one message that lock your doors, people. >> exactly. thank you
