Behind you because. You see this shouldnt be some sort of a political e. U. That sees us. Tussle what theyre trying to apparently parity. Under whats called this is about International Rules and the rules of the International Legal system being upheld draw good theyre good theyre well prepared. Also coming up today is a world day against Human Trafficking more and more people are being displaced and forced to migrate these are boom times for the criminals dealing in desperate soul. Left unchecked transnational organized crime can undermine governments address disrupt markets drain National Assets inhibit the development of stable societies and endanger our citizens generally. And to our viewers on p. B. S. In the United States and all around the world welcome we begin the day with a u. S. Request to germany that may be falling on deaf ears today here in berlin the u. S. Embassy confirmed that the u. S. Has formally asked germany to join a european led force to protect shipping in the strait of hormuz just off the coast of iran now this request apparently was sent out days ago getting no reaction from the German Government or making the request formal it will not make it any easier for germany to offer a reply germany is one of the European Countries still committed to saving the Iran Nuclear Deal now that deal has been put into question since the u. S. Withdrew from it last year tensions between iran and the u. S. Have been creased ever since germanys foreign minister has repeatedly stated that deescalation and diplomacy must remain top priority some lawmakers here have said publicly that joining the mission in the strait of hormuz to protect shipping would mean suddenly siding with the americans in a war with iran. Well iran has made it clear it is against any International Force moving into waters off of it sure saying the greater the military presence the greater the risk of a military confrontation iran makes constant efforts to ensure the seal of the persian gulf and the strait of hormuz remain safe passage ways for International Shipping the presence of Foreign Forces wouldnt help the Regional Security and if anything he would actually be the main source of tension. All right weve got complete coverage of this story tonight with me here in the studio is Nicole Redbird from the German Council on Foreign Relations and in washington is Bradley Bowman he is with the foundation for defense of democracies and hes a former National Security advisor to members of the Senate Armed Services and the Foreign Relations committees to both of you nicole let me start with you the u. S. Made this request to germany which were hearing is that the request was made several days ago for them to join this force and they didnt get an answer and today the embassy here said ok well make it official the request has been made official is germany ignoring and i dare say is germany trying to blow off the truck administration at this juncture actually a country to afford to be off the trumpet ministration because the whole german industry is dependent on the safety of the travel of the of the roots and the escalation industry affect the german economic sector in a way that unprecedented so there has to be an onset but the problem is the coalition and as you already pointed out. That. Part of the government so far has been pretty outspoken that it would not support the mission under u. S. Leadership and its still discussing the option off it in your mission and i think. Depict accountability of having 2 missions here and might might not be what come out at the end fell im pretty convinced that yet have to be something in the middle believe that its true that there were 2 missions in the last week were talking about a european led mission and weve also had the us trying to create a coalition an International Coalition and it seems now with this new British Government that maybe these projects are merging i mean who knows better let me ask you what do you think about the germans concerns that if they join this mission in the strait of hormuz that they will automatically have to side with the americans in the event of a war between the us and iran is that i mean is that fear is that concern. A legitimate one i think respectfully thats the wrong question i think the right question is what are germanys interests and what are americas interests there and the foremost interest which we share is in part defending the freedom of navigation and the unfettered flow of maritime commerce thats a u. S. Interest and thats a german interest that such interests we share as nato allies so while good allies can disagree on how we arrived at this point. The iran deal only u. S. Decision to withdraw from it we should be able to agree that we have a vested interest National Security interest and an economic interest in having commercial vessels transit the strait of hormuz and the goal on unattacked unmolested by iranians thats something we should be able to agree on and german officials whole titians have said so so the question i have for them is are you willing to help or what do you make of the fact then broadly that we have not received a firm yes from berlin. I think these things take time i understand these things have to be coordinated among the various components of the German Government just like they would have to be in the u. S. So you know i stand these things take time but i think if we focus on these interests that we have in common which are very serious economic and security interests the answer should be yes the question is how you know i understand there are limited military assets that germany can sound but theres different ways to support this it could be ships aircraft Surveillance Drones it could be monetary support you know i think we have to focus on the freedom of navigation of a free unfettered flow of commerce aspect of nested if the goal is the void war with iran and avoid escalation now what we should be doing is deterring additional iranian attacks on those things and you know ive spoken with many members of the German Parliament of the German Government and they agree with what bradleys saying was lets talk about our shared interests and then they immediately say to me nicco that shared interest was the j. C. P. O. Way the Iran Nuclear Deal which we negotiated together which the u. S. Unilaterally then turned its back on so these shared interim you know how and how salient are these shared interests when it comes to you know joining a coalition in the strait of hormuz now i mean the fact that the interests basically the same effect here and as you said many many politicians in the Coalition Government agree but still the fact that the u. S. Left iran diyala somehow limited the option of negotiating with iran you know what what would be the next step and here the German Government doesnt want to provoke the iranians even more by having a mission on the u. S. Leadership which might not help in the negotiation process with iran and. Again they might be another solution to it because the german kept abilities pretty limited you know karen. It is not to be a player when it comes to defense issues so if for example the americans and even the british the french would really rely on German Military support i doubt that but there has to be something outside and more than just a guess chair there has to be a clear commitment to support the safety of this this very important area where youre talking about policies that bring predictability and thats the thing thats lacking in the trumpet ministration thats what we hear time and time again from german lawmakers abroad they offer that to you what should these lawmakers do i mean they tell was time and time again that they are dealing with a u. S. President who was unpredictable who can change policies with a tweet and they dont want to commit to something as serious as a force in the strait of hormuz something that would agitate the iranians when that when they know that could easily be turned over on its head by this president. What do they do. Thats a reasonable concern that has been heard before thats a concern that some here in the u. S. Share but i dont think the question is are they willing to sign up to the trump ministrations or ron paul say you know are they willing to sign up to the max Pressure Campaign thats really not the question on the table in berlin the question in berlin is what is germany willing to do protect its core National Security and economic interests with respect to freedom of navigation an unfettered flow of maritime commers roughly one 5th of the worlds all goes through the strait what is germany willing to do and the goal is to avoid war in the gulf which no one wants no one wants the best way to do that is to deter additional iranian attacks on International Shipping where we will see if if that is the conclusion of the German Government fully and then went in the next day or so the covert with the German Council on Foreign Relations and Bradley Bowman with the foundation for defense of democracies to both of you thank you very much. Youre watching the day still to come brazils president wants to fight crime by making it easier for everyone to own a gun well hear from brazilians he believes more guns equal more so you can if you can see the more guns we have the more secure williams listen to the police cant be everywhere at once was at least now its easier to buy weapons and make them you into. The United Nations is using today to draw attention to Human Trafficking its a worldwide problem with more than 40000000 people thought to be trapped in some form of slavery almost half of trafficking victims are women men account for about a 5th nearly a quarter are girls and and you see 70 percent are boys of the trafficking process can take many forms one of them is Child Marriage where children are married and they simply disappear some are forced into working in brothels the n. G. O. S justice in here says that girls are being raped sometimes as much as 20 times a day in brothels. Some girls end up as domestic slaves and then there is you know the topic of forced labor when people many of them children as young as 8 years old are forced to work hard physical labor for long hours for little or no reward and this can be happening right before us right in front of our eyes in nail salons factories in agriculture and even in car washes which children make up most of those forced to work as a result of Human Trafficking in africa and in the mekong region the one thing that all Human Trafficking victims have in common is their vulnerability. Joining me now from london is christina everlovin shes the director of european operations for the anti trafficking in geo justice and care its good to have you on the program the numbers of Human Trafficking over the past 10 years that we received from the u. N. Today i mean they do not paint a pretty picture why has the situation become worse. Good evening thank you for inviting me on your show emma gusty a question that a number of presents the freedom of movement has increased weight with more conscious being able to travel and want to be able to travel across the globe and that the money for 7 states has also increased so we consistently request cheap services cheap products and so. The mando have to be a supply but also greed money this is all about money saw the criminals and carrying out his activities will have a bold move goal which is to make enough money to pursue their criminal business in a cruel modeled and we know that bringing these criminals these perpetrators to justice thats a daunting task many times its really only the victims word. Thats the evidence because of being in slavery it can make it impossible to collect evidence for a Court Procedure what would you say what can be done to make it easier to prosecute. There are again a number of. Things that we can do in terms of the Law Enforcement and victim support. For the collaboration we we need to be able to talk to each other freely without any restrictions or time delays are when we got the evidence we have to take into consideration their the witness itself with all the traumas that have gone through and offering adequate support in such a way that he strengthens. And a carriage and leads to to pursue justice but themselves and for others but alternately it does fall down to how the countries operate and how the entrees communicate with one another as if we take your own for example we rely on europe or we rely on the euro just to support Member States talking to each other but very rarely these investigations reach such a high level it is at the low level at a local level the investigations are not carried out adequately that the office and investigators are not trained appropriately and quite often resources are not available to just and actually investigate this kristie let me just ask to of course weve got it weve got about half a minute left here Climate Change is expected to force more and more people to leave their homes theres going to be more migration is this a perfect storm for the criminals who benefit from Human Trafficking. Its our its part of a perfect storm its what if its going to help to create the perfect storm absolutely and the poor conditions from the home countries await the societys needs and requests for full but the lives will will allow the traffickers the time to vote will individuals vulnerable communities and will freely and more openly or right christina govern lovitz with the anti trafficking in justice in care christine we appreciate your time and your insights tonight thank you. Thank you. For the u. S. Financial Services Company capital one has revealed that the personal information of more than 100000000 people was still in during a cyber attack at risk and names addresses and phone numbers of credit card applicants in canada and the u. S. Including yours truly a suspect we understand was arrested on monday capital one says the hacker exploited a weakness in its systems thats how they describe it lets talk about that now from our d. W. Business Stephen Beard so stephen this what theyre saying one person has been arrested in connection with this but this is as you correctly have said this is a case of walking the door after the horse has left the stable right in this case this is something with a person whos arrested the crime is the fact that this alleged perpetrator broke in and took these files released them but obviously more crimes can happen with all this information thats out there and thats the biggest concern is that its not over for people the fact is this is the new reality in a world where Financial Institutions have access to massive databases and we live in a world where of course theres no way to prevent a vulnerability from occurring it will always occur in this case it looks like there was a faulty fire wall that someone who had an incentive to try and get in manipulated so she got in because she wanted to but also because there was a mistake so what happens is theres such an onus that falls on consumers to be protective thats more of a burden for us we have to put up fraud alerts we have to get credit checks things like this if so much falls on us what you have to hope is that companies will begin to be more vigilant as well just look at equifax right this was the biggest data leak data breach in the history of the u. S. 147000000 consumers affected from this Credit Ratings agency which was selling personal information but hackers gained access to a lot of that information and. The Companies Sell to. Not report it as soon as it should have didnt make people aware and they just settled for 700000000. 00. And they will have to spend have to amount of that paying for people themselves who are affected by this so you hope that through that they will learn to be more protective oh whats capital one going to do to reassure its customers that you know theyre not about to be the victims of Identity Theft and who knows what rights was offering things like free credit monitoring 1st we should mention that they do say that no credit card account numbers themselves were released and that no log ins were compromised and there is plenty of personal information that does get out there though and so emails for example so youd want to do is be vigilant phishing emails for example someone trying to get your information further report that capital one they say but again go with fraud alerts things like that there is sort of a step by step procedure to protect yourself against these things and one says otherwise this was a mistake and theyre running it on let me ask you what were talking about data privacy we hear toda
