a rape allegation in the united states. and our western countries have united in denouncing russia for cyber hacking attacks which they say are designed to undermine democracies in some of the strongest language used since the cold war britain warned russia had become a pariah state for its extensive campaign united states warned moscow must be made to pay the price for its actions beginning with the indictment of seven of its intelligence officers paul brennan has our report. the tools of the trade this spy equipment was found in the possession of four russian agents in a car parked outside the headquarters of the chemical weapons watchdog the o.p.c. w. back in april at the time the o.p.c. w. was independently analyzing the novacek used to attack script allen solsbury as

well as identifying the substance used in an attack against civilians in the syrian town of duma. the g.r.u. operation was aimed at hacking in infecting the y. find it work of the o p c w from close quarters we call that a so-called close access hack operation when they were discovered the russian spies trying to destroy some of their equipment but one of the laptops showed they had also been in malaysia trying to access the investigation into the shooting down of the passenger jet m.h. seventeen over ukraine allegedly by a russian book missile the timing of the dutch announcement came just hours after reports on russian hacking by the british national cybersecurity center part of the government's g c h q spy agency the n c s c assessment concluded that hacker groups calling themselves fancy bear sound werman voodoo bear actually just the russian military intelligence agency the g r u the russian foreign ministry spokeswoman

reacted scornfully to the british statements is going to us border indiscriminately in one file or maybe an ina richie fragrance file everything was mixed up g.r.u. cyber spies kremlin's hackers what a hellish perfume mix the vivid imagination of our colleagues from the u.k. has no boundaries indeed who comes up with all this. but the pressure on russia was further intensified at the meeting of nato defense ministers in brussels what we are doing by acting with our allies by actually isolating russia exposing the fact that these are actions of a state this is acting in a reckless an indiscriminate manner this is not the actions of a great power this is of actions of the pariah state and then the u.s. justice department weighed in indicting seven russian g.r.u. agents in connection to a series of hacking attacks as well as charges of money laundering wire fraud and

identity theft it is evident from the allegations in today's indictment that the defendants believe that they could use their anonymity to act with impunity in their own countries and on the territories of other sovereign nations to undermine international institutions and to distract from their government's own wrongdoing they were wrong most of the world's advanced spy agencies conduct cyber espionage but this wave of intense coordinates a diplomatic pressure on russia highlights the sense that even by the shadowy standards of international spying russia has overstepped the boundaries of what is acceptable paul brennan al-jazeera pool touched on briefly the russian foreign ministry has locked the u.k.'s claims saying the accusations are unfounded berish allan's has more from moscow. well there was an early burst of ridicule coming from moscow just after the united kingdom set this whole ball rolling with its

allegations of the g.r.u. being responsible for for hacking episodes cyber attacks that they hadn't previously attributed to the g.r.u. i'm talking about several others that they had already attributed to the g.r.u. well there is a car of a who is the foreign ministry spokesman personally here used her usual mocking style as saying that the u.k. had concocted a sort of hellish perth you she was alluding there to the bottle of nina ritchie her fume which was supposedly containing the novacek used to poison the script poles and souls bridge in march and but after that as we went through the day and the dutch got involved and gave so much information about forty are you agents or they have through another country in april well russia's representatives started to go rather more quiets their russian representatives the o.p.c. doubly so that it had no comment the russian embassy to the netherlands said that

it had no comment russia's sharjah affair in the in the netherlands was called into the ministry of foreign affairs there we don't know what happens but we don't expect that was a particular chord change. afterwards there wasn't really much from the russian foreign ministry it's except to say that western spying mania is gaining momentum so it seems like russia has been taken quite by surprise the level of coordination between all these western countries has put it slightly on the back foot other issue is usual denials. hundreds of thousands of people are still waiting for food and medicine a week after an earthquake and tsunami devastated the indonesian island of soon away z. the death toll stands at more than fourteen hundred people entire towns and villages have been destroyed now survivors are coming to terms with life changing injuries

and the deaths of their loved ones tremolando linda brown reports from pollen. and . eight year old wendy quite used to god and asks for forgiveness he was in the position of prayer his forehead on the mat when the earthquake struck and the mosque collapsed he's all there brother was able to pull him out but the rent he lost his hand. was going to be and that it was hard for us to look for a medical clinic. we have to look for two decent two nights. this is one that the hospital it holds the biggest number of injured survivors and some of them come from neighboring districts broke into abrasions here who say it took days before they got medical help but they are grateful they're still alive.

to lions says she was near the sea when the earthquake struck she waited for a moment and thought everything was fine until the tsunami swept her away it took three days before her family found her. i thought i was going to die i swallowed a lot of water and then a man pulled me up by my arm the tsunami hit the town of polluted on friday three strong waves swept away hundreds of homes schools government facilities all wiped out in an instant and days since the disaster struck many believe the true extent of the damage has yet to be seen the number of people killed is expected to rise a twenty minute drive from the main town is where hundreds are buried mass burials have become a daily reality some of the bodies buried here are unidentified the indonesian government says a quick burial is necessary to prevent the spread of communicable diseases entire

families who once lived full lives cut short by a tragedy they have been reduced to this and no one has come to say good bye. dugan al-jazeera central sulawesi indonesia. well help is not arriving fast enough for some communities that have been largely cut off insular ways he almost seventy one thousand people have been displaced many are in coastal areas north of palo and are among the first to feel the full force of the tsunami when he reports. the people of dongola have been largely left to fend for themselves their villages have disappeared and there's little else to do but search for anything that may be of value to the tsunami swept down this coast destroying everything in its path for days there was no communication with this area meaning the fate of almost three

hundred thousand people was unknown the main road to the nearest city has been reopened but there's no sign of significant aid distribution. we need more food blankets and milk for babies because there's a lot of babies here and people have nothing to do because this is a fishing community and everything is gone and we're going to get it. so far the government says more than one hundred fifty died in dongola which would have been much worse had the villages not been so close to higher ground the epicenter of the earthquake was further up the bay on the other side so this was the most significant population closest to us and clearly the people here felt it very strongly they say when that strike they had just two minutes before the first wave came. some who couldn't escape are still unaccounted for but there's no search operation and no heavy equipment the people say they feel neglected in what can seem like hopeless situations they look to leadership for help and in this case

it's the indonesian president who visited on wednesday the remains of a house carry a message pleading with joko widodo not to leave behind. he promised just over three thousand dollars for each family to rebuild probably going to die i hope the government will take care of us because we're tired of them making promises and not they're moving i hope this time the president is listening to us. right now there are more immediate concerns than rebuilding for the people along this coast it's still about survival wayne hay al-jazeera indonesia u.s. vice president mike pence has accused china of interfering with american politics and technology it says beijing is using economic and military tools as well as propaganda to advance interests in the u.s. let's go live to our white house correspondent kimberly hellcat in washington d.c. so some quite strong criticism of china coming from pence. yeah and it's quite

a departure from what we saw in the early days of the traffic ministration where we saw the u.s. president even hosting president xi at my his mar-a lago home in florida saying that he wanted a very warm relationship even reaching out to president xi in the hopes that china would in some way influence efforts to forge a new relationship with north korea but the comments coming from the vice president a sharp departure from the warmness we saw of the troubled ministration in the early days the vice president accusing china not only of intellectual property theft but also human rights abuses even influencing the twenty six twenty eight teen u.s. election that is set to take place in november with a decision from ation campaign and then of course doubling down on some of the u.s. president's were recent comments with respect to trade saying that in fact there is a need for the tariffs that have been put in place with china because of the massive trade deficit that is in place in the united states as

a result of the growing g.d.p. of china one that the u.s. is making the argument that it is a result of its open economic policies in the past but take a listen to what the vice president had to say because well he said there was a genuine openness or desire for openness in the future and the u.s. is now fighting back these and other actions taken as a whole constitute an intensifying effort to shift american public opinion. and policy away from the american first leadership of president donald trump but our message to china's rulers is this this president will not back down. the american people will not be swayed and we will continue to stand strong

for our security and our economy. even as we hope for improved relations. so the united states essentially saying that china has been waging a multifaceted campaign through this dissin for mation efforts not only in hollywood in academia but also an aggressive military campaign as well talking about some of the concerns the united states has with the deployment of anti ship an anti air missile the south china sea so what is the united states doing about it well according to the vice president taking some very strong a swift action not only pointing out that under president trump the united states has increased its defense spending by historic proportions not seen since ronald reagan in the one nine hundred eighty s. but also using that money to modernize its nuclear arsenal as well threatening more

tariffs given the fact that the u.s. has already put in place some two hundred fifty billion against chinese goods the vice president saying that more at the ready and that there is an intense effort underway to stop the theft of intellectual property theft that the u.s. is accusing china as a sensually what the united states is saying is that this decision from ation campaign the u.s. is accusing of they say they're well aware of and they are now in deploying efforts and employing efforts to stop it while at the same time trying to forge new partnerships to counter this flu it's across the globe not only with india but also samoa it certainly is striking in terms of the posture of this administration given what we saw in the early days when donald trump first came into office commute thank you very much indeed. still to come on the program why india's government is being accused of putting politics ahead of its morals as it prepares to deport seven range of men. and could be brutal days ahead for the koreas with the bush

conditions well across much of india to the north we're looking at dry conditions for the south though unfortunately we are still seeing quite a bit of rain now the big problem over the next few days is we are watching a tropical storm winds down here just off the coast what that is going to be doing is bring some very heavy rain showers across carola over the next few days and that is potentially going to leave us with maybe two hundred to two hundred fifty millimeters of rain so flooding is going to be something we're going to be watching especially as we go towards the beginning of next week up here towards the north well quite dry and warm new delhi at about thirty four degrees and crutching about thirty six degrees for you. it's jealousy that she just exquisitely. very classy it's part of our culture. our very. special. people when you spend money everything you
