and. now blatter is not going down quietly. the fifa scandal could actually help futbol take off in the united states. ♪ revealed four million current and former u.s. federal employees were hit by a cyber attack last month. the u.s. says it's china but the u.s. embassy in china but says it's irresponsible. >> likely the largest theft of u.s. government data in the history of the united states and here is what we know the office of opm it's called was hacked and discovered it in april of this year and opm is like the human resources department for the entire federal government and also do security background checks for people who want to get security clearances so for

million people former and federal employees had their information compromised to give you a sense of the breach there are over four million federal employees right now and they will be contacting these people and offering a credit monitoring service for a year and a half and what information was stolen was it social security or federal id or they are not saying. >> we will talk to a cyber security analyst and is live from cambridge from skype and the first question is how easy do you think this attack was to be launched and to have been so effective. >> good morning. so these attacks are generally quite simple in nature and they are either through somebody sending a malicious e-mail enticing people to click or

download a piece of malware or a weakness in the system or great vulnerabilities that have been out with logos or a lesser vulnerability. >> it's quite an extensive breach that is for sure and does it suggest to you that u.s. federal authorities don't have their spy walls up to strach and need to have a much better ways of fighting this kind of attack? >> it's very difficult to tell because it's not announced how the attack happened but generally what you find is infrastructure growing and it's difficult to protect everything as we see huge explosions in the size of infrastructures as we maintain good level of security is incredibly hard and may have got good controls in place to reduce the data exposure and

filtration but everything can be very difficult. >> and so how easy is it therefore to discover where this hacking has come from, is it easy to find out who is behind it because americans seem pretty sure? >> they do. and the attribution of any attack of this type is incredibly difficult. we must remember that attackers can very easily manipulate where the tractor came from and approach for breaking in and also the code as well and when we look at the breach the americans came out and said it was north korea and this is flimsy with evidence and an attack of this type to any nation or group of individuals it should not be done until all the evidence has been collected. >> thanks very much and very interesting to talk to you, thank you. india food regulator asked

nestle to stop the production and sale of nine different types of maggie instant noodles with dangerous high lead in some samples and earlier the global ceo said in new deli that maggi is safe to eat and it's withdrawing the product from selves and at least six india states have banned its sale and raids are happening in many parts of the country. >> translator: the nestle was raised and seized products and collecting samples from around the state and tests being conducted and until we get a report of the products we ordered a stop on the sale of products. >> reporter: they confirmed the death of a fourth person in an out break of out break respiratory syndrome or mers and went to 41 and an effected south

korean doctor came in contact with more than 1500 people and harry faucet has more from seoul. >> reporter: at a time when the government is taking measures to stop the spread of mers the news that emerged overnight about one doctor is that on the 27th of may he was treating a patient with mers and two days later he developed what the health ministry said was mild symptoms and told not to come to work but not quarantine himself and the next day he attended a meeting of an apartment complex in seoul which he is one about redeveloping this place, 1565 attendees at that meeting. the seoul city government says that they were not properly informed of this by the health ministry and they came out, the mayor came out in an overnight press conference to publicize

this fact and saying that they would be contacting each of those people and issuing them with instructions to quarantine themselves. the government, the health ministry says they have a different judgment over the kind of exposure these people would have been liable to the exposure wasn't prolonged or close contact enough for mers to be a real transmission threat at that meeting but there is a difference of opinion of the sewell government and national government and the concerns are growing more widely about the spread of this disease. four asylum seekers four from iran and myanmar are starting their lives again and hoping to settle in australia but relocated to cambodia on a multi million transfer deal and we report from the capitol. >> reporter: they arrived with little ceremony hidden inside a van. the governments of cambodia and

australia were equally sensitive with not official content but they were more vocal. >> the ethics of compassion and hospitality and justice from a very rich country with lots of space leave a lot to be desired. >> reporter: refugees refused going to australia and on the pacific island are given the option to be moved to cambodia and promised start up money, a home and job and access to schools and hospitals, the only problem is it's cambodia. one of asia's most immoverished nation and dealing with asylum seekers. >> and camp -- cambodia saying

they can clear the problem. >> reporter: the burden of cambodia is dealing with the cash they represent and the agreement is worth $40 million over the next few years, money australians are putting up and since being signed last september these are the only first four volunteers making them look like expensive imports. they helped in the transfer with what the newcomers will receive here and if the deal is so good why so few takers? >> they want to come here and we don't know how many more will be convinced to come here but the important thing to emphasize is no one is coerced to come here and it's voluntarily and it's not what they want about want to be in australia but better off than they were home. >> reporter: they will be able to ponder how much better off

and they will have time to think about it in a place they never thought they would call home. they crack down on human trafficking and it's trying to end being a transit point for people smugglers and following the discovery of mass graves along its border last month and the thai prime minister is making this a preer -- priority and more from thailand. >> resent exposure of camps of traffic people between thailand and floating on the west coast have put to issue human trafficking in thailand on the international agenda like never before and there have been events like this in the past to mark the day and in the past they have been talking to each other and patting each other on the back and they suggest this issue is being taken more

seriously and he was keen to point out this issue is one of his government's top three priorities and officials handing out the list of amendments of antihuman trafficking laws with much tougher penalties on those caught with human trafficking and the issue is if this will announce prosecutions because the record on that is poor 104 people were successfully prosecuted last year and that is lower than the previous year despite the consensus this is getting worse for thailand and not better and sessions like this all very well but unless they have a threat from the ground they are not worth that much. no hope of finding any more survivors disaster teams have fully righted the cruise ship that capsized in the ynngtze on monday and most were elderly tourists and adrian brown is

here. >> reporter: and the star is appearing to be a salvage operation as it continues and began late on thursday night and the rescue operation has really been helped by a vast improvement in the weather conditions here and remember we had rain for the past few days and cranes are on either side of the vessel and a series of cables are being used to support the vessel and this gives the jibs on the crane something to attach to and a vast net is in the operational area to catch debris or bodies that fall into the water. this operation of course is confirmation that the authorities now accept that there can be no survivors. relatives and families of the missing have been arriving in the city of gin lee and now are some 1200 of them and last night in the city there was a candle lit vigil by this community

which has been so traumatized by the events of the past few days and feel sorrow that something so tragic happened so close to their city. lots more to come in the program including opec cartel gather in vienna as prices are on a downward slide and did the former government know where the chief bomb maker was hiding and allegations made to al jazeera suggests they did. ♪

hello again and the top stories here at al jazeera, india's food safety regulator has asked nestle to recall nine varieties of maggi noodles because of lead and the ceo said in new deli that maggi is safe to eat and it has been revealed that four million current and former u.s. federal employees were hit by a cyber attack last month and the u.s. suspects china and the chinese embassy says such accusations are irresponsible and the health ministry confirmed the death of a next person in the mers and the number of infected people has risen to 41 and it has emerged an infected south korean doctor has come into contact with more than 1500 people.

let's go to the opec meeting the organization of petrol currently meeting in veinna and not expected to change output but there is a lot to talk about and relatively low oil prices have really hurt some country's finances and destroyed many jobs in the oil sector and there is a question of iran oil coming back to the international market and we have this report. >> reporter: in vienna the powerhouses put on a happy face. none more so than saudi arabia's ail minister, looking comfortable in the spotlight he was very clearly the star of this show. he and other allies projected an air of calm and an aura of confidence.

>> the possibility are all encouraging. >> reporter: being held at a meeting optimism flowed as fast and thick as the oil these countries produce and the outcome is predictable and unlike november when ail prices fell sharply they are expected to remain unchanged. >> this will be a difficult day for a lot of us to figure out what to say about something where i don't see anything happening at all. there is just no drivers for them to make any change for them at this point. >> reporter: if they do what is expected at 30 million barrels per day oil prices will stay 50% lower than they were at this stage last year a decline that has been detrimental to venezuela and seeking to bring together opec and not opec to stabilize the market one experts say will make very little

difference. >> i would call them the coalition of the unable and unwilling which is they want cuts to take place but they don't have the capacity to do that whatsoever so it's exercises. >> on this day nothing got in the way of the niceties and increased production of u.s. shale oil seen by opec as such a threat last year is being tolerated. geo politics and conflicts rarely rear their ugly heads but vent advances by aisle and iraq are certainly cause for concerns and if attacks on oil continues with the growth expected to rise it could wreak havoc with the marketplace and the wild card is iran and if allowed to reenter the market could have uncertainty and worries that may be real but amid this back drop it may be undiscovered crude, al

jazeera, vienna. >> live to mohamed who is live at the meeting and you mentioned the prospect of the iran people coming back in a big way because we are expecting sanctions to be eased on them by the end of this month, how relaxed are opec members about the prospects of increased oil supply coming from iran? >> it's a very good point there is certainly an under current tension about the issue and when and if iran does reenter the oil market by opec it may add as many as a million barrels a day and could inject volatility in the market that finally is stabilized but here at this conference especially the gulf countries and especially the saudis and others they seem to be saying we are not really

focusing on that right now and they don't seem to be worried. this is something that will be dealt with later especially because the negotiations the nuclear negotiations are still going on and john kerry is still meeting with his counterpart zarif and because that is going on it's not expected to be a decision made about it in the conference and it's being shuffled to the side and iran delegations are here and even though they are making noise saying we are going to have to be dealt with at some point and ready to inject oil in the marketplace and they say the iran people have millions of extra oil in floating and not floating ready to be released when sanctions are lifted and it's a question to be dealt with and could inject volatility into opec and could finally put a

wedge in this really unified front that opec is trying to projoekt the last few days but it's not expected there will be any decision about it here today. >> great, thank you very much. mohamed there our correspondent in vienna. now allegations made to al jazeera suggest seven yemen government officials knew where al-qaeda's chief bomb maker was hiding and he is a wanted man and he became a government informant and told al jazeera investigative unit that he exposed it. >> one of the world's most wanted men thought to be al-qaeda's top bomb maker and this was in some of the daring attacks and the underwear bomb on delta airlines 253 christmas

day 2009 and printer on a cargo plane a year later. >> translator: and this al-qaeda informant told the government where he was hiding. and he says he informed on al-qaeda from 2006 until 2009 and had been a member of the group since the late 90s and fist claim he met them in 2008 in yemen. and he says he was training many

al-qaeda's fighters and informed numerous officials in the security services including president saleh's nephew deputy director of the national security bureau. he could not be reached for comment and he says he was fooled and so was the united states and many western governments. today he has still not been caught and the threat of a bomb on a plane remains. jordan with al jazeera. you can watch a full

afghanistan and the valley they decided that this should be the first one. but in many ways though this is a symbolic largely symbolic naming of a cultural capital because there are major security concerns and this weekend we have a huge delegation of hundreds of officials from across afghanistan here for the inauguration and also expecting some south asia high officials and ministers to come here to celebrate it as well but we have just heard from local officials they won't be coming because of security concerns and that is the real issue and challenge for afghanistan and that issue is how can it secure the country to actually be ready to receive foreign tourists here to try and bring investment and development and create a tourism industry. >> reporter: now the u.s. has taken the lead in cleaning up futbol to make the game more popular and andy gallagher

reports from miami in florida. >> blatter is not going down quietly. >> reporter: not easy when they talk about futbol and call it soccer but it's a sign of a sport growing importance that so much paid attention to the u.s. led investigation into fifa. the phone lines at the radio station have been lighting up and host andy slater says the scandal will not stop fans from watching a sport that is steadily growing in popularity. >> people expected and knew that it was going on and there is that side and we have the actual sport side which some people are into and they separate ray the two and care about the sport and corruption on the other side by itself. >> reporter: in many big u.s. cities these days sites like this are not uncommon over the past few decades futbol leagues have growth and more north

americans than ever tuned in to watch a sport that many perceive is struggling to gain a hold here and futbol in the united states could never rival the popularity of baseball or american football but demographics are changing and 2015 expected a third of the population will be hispanic and many believe all the attention could help the sport grow. >> blatter resigning and new blood stepping into positions may allow some of my non-soccer friends or friends that are not big on soccer may have it change. >> the change may help how sports grows in the united states. >> reporter: futbol is far from challenging mainstream sports but it could soon change, a generation that was introduced by the game of soccer moms are growing up fast and futbol is no longer met with difference and it may be a distraction for now
