well. you know. this is al jazeera. has a seeker this is the news hour live from doha coming up in the next sixty minutes several western governments playing russia for a series of cyber attacks moscow dismisses the accusations as absurd. mass burials in indonesia as recovery efforts continue after last week's tsunami on the island of sort always the. f.b.i. investigation into donald trump supremes court nominee is released to a very different reactions from republicans and democrats. i was out of

a job with and i'll tell you why the fight against isis is still continuing in the ambar desert and i'm paestum it with your supporters cristiana rinaldo continues to battle allegations of sexual assault of portugal and events football response to claims he raped a woman by saying his conscience is clear. but began early thursday in australia and has progressed across through europe and on to north america one western government after another moving against alleged russian cyber attacks the latest move came from the us justice department which announced charges against seven russian intelligence agencies paul brennan is live for us in london to take us through these developments so paul just explain to us what's become something of a globally coordinated move against russia here. indeed

a fascinating series of events and almost unprecedented in the espionage world what started around midnight weapons day with a report issued by the british national cybersecurity center which said that with almost certainty these are the quotes from the report with almost certainty they allege that organizations such as voodoo baron fancy bessie's hacking groups which previously many people of thoughts just be teenagers in the bedrooms acting malicious they were actually all parts of the french sorry the russian military intelligence group the g u and that they had been gauged in hacking groups such as the world anti-doping agency wada and a whole series of other actions now the response from the russians was swift marias alcove of the foreign affairs spokes person of the kremlin came out and rubbish the claims and said oh look they have no evidence it's all it's pure fantasy and then

with almost impeccable timing just a couple of hours later the british and the dutch gave a news conference giving very precise details of a plot by g.r.u. agents to hack into the o.p.c. w. the organization for the prohibition of chemical weapons effectively catching four g.r.u. agents red handed. 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. back in april at the time the o.p.c. w. was independently analyzing the novacek used to attack script palin solsbury as well as identifying the substance used in an attack against civilians in the syrian town of duma on the bush the g.r.u. operation was aimed at hacking in infecting the y. find network 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 wurman voodoo bear actually just the russian military intelligence agency the g r u the russian foreign ministry spokeswoman reacted scornfully to the british statements because i want to add i was bored indiscriminately in one file maybe in nina 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're 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 row. clisson indiscriminate manner this is not the actions of a great power this is a van actions of a 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 coordinated 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 so what's what's the strategy here does seem to be a real change in something where this sort of thing used to be dealt with behind closed doors but now they're there they're almost trying to show it to show them up in public. i've asked for size the attention i mean you heard from gavin williamson the u.k. defense secretary in the report just now and essentially you get the impression from the people i've been speaking to today that the the intelligence community and governments have just been increasingly fed up with the way that russia appears to be able to think at least that it can act with impunity of course yet the

litvinenko case the russian poisoned here in london back in two thousand and six then it all went sort of quiet and then of course you have the script balls who were poisoned with novacek in souls this year and the realisation that russia has been not quiet at all the allegations of hacking of go back three or four years and the calculation that's been made is that it's not good enough to deal with this quietly and behind closed doors anymore the governments and intelligence agencies are going to call out the russians when they whenever they find the evidence for us and actually put them on the world spotlight so that the actions when confronted with solid evidence as a simply undeniable paul brennan lie for us in london thanks bill. our signs of life have been found under the rubble of a hotel nearly a week after an earthquake and tsunami ripped through the indonesian island of sin always a glimmer of hope comes even as the death toll keeps climbing at least fourteen

hundred people have died and hundreds of thousands of others are in desperate need of help the military has been given orders to shoot looters on sight shortly we'll hear from andrew thomas in palo where people say it's not stealing but surviving but first we begin our coverage with wayne hay about forty kilometers north. which was the first area to be hit by the way. 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 palu the nearest city has been reopened but there's no sign of significant aid distribution. we have 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. 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 earth 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. i hope the government will take

care of us because we're tired of them making promises and not their leverage 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. wherever they can people are grabbing whatever they can a supermarket warehouse spared by the earthquake and tsunami has instead fall into looters they're taking not just food and water or essential they personally need but anything they think might have value bags of razor blades shampoo nappies even paint i know it's not food but i can sell it it would only have got trampled if i hadn't taken it yet we've had no help no ate nothing cash still buys things even in a disaster zone but few people are working fewer still being paid and with banks an

a.t.m. shut there's no way to access a things we've stopped some distance from that scene because over the last few days some media crews have been attacked for filming looting but those we've spoken to say they don't consider this looting or themselves as robbers but these are desperate times and they're not getting the racial help they need. where people aren't saluting they're begging the messages on the boxes read we are hungry with. our team gave a little but they and tens of thousands of others need much more. down by the water we found ambo soccer walking around where until friday afternoon his house and those of many of his relatives had been he wasn't home at five o two when the earthquake hits but his mother cousins nieces and nephews were some of the children ran to higher ground but he. his mother and five others saw no need they'd run after a previous bigger quake in two thousand and five when no tsunami had followed this

time they didn't hear a siren and saw nothing strange happening to the sea twenty minutes later it was much too late to run i didn't want to. i want to see what's left of my home maybe i can salvage something we've had no help from the government just some water and noodles from people who have given to the charity. one thing the government says it is addressing is a chronic lack of fuel it's brought in three weeks normal supply of diesel and a week's worth of petrol and is flying in one hundred petrol pump attendants to get people through queues faster right now it takes fifteen hours to reach the front andrew thomas al-jazeera palu indonesia. oh plenty more ahead on the news out they left venezuela to escape the economic and political turmoil but now some of facing eviction in neighboring colombia. diplomatic crisis brewing between turkey and saudi arabia with the disappearance of

a prominent saudi journalist. and coming up later in school we'll tell you how the defending n.h.l. champions did in their first game of the new ice hockey season. well that's still ahead but first the democrats are slamming it as an incomplete whitewash the republicans say they stand vindicated an f.b.i. report on u.s. president donald trump supremes court nominee has deepened the partisan divisions on capitol hill f.b.i. investigators will look into sexual misconduct allegations against brett kavanaugh he denies the allegations the senate is expected to vote on his nomination on saturday patagonian is live for us now from washington so patty one report two very different reactions from the senators some seen it. exactly and i have to tell you this is probably the most divided that political analysts will tell you this

country in this capital has ever been just to give you a sense of what's happening here in the capitol complex we just saw thousands of anti-capital protesters marched from the courthouse where he now works past the capitol building to the supreme court demanding that senators vote down his nomination at the same time you're seeing republicans dig in their heels they say look the f.b.i. investigation happened and it didn't turn anything up the big debate now is did the f.b.i. do enough to the white house basically stymied them in their investigation the white house says they identified ten people that they wanted them to talk to they did talk to nine of them but that didn't include christie dr ford she's the one who testified in that very public very. wrenching testimony about what she says was of assault by him when they were both in high school so the f.b.i. didn't talk to her or his other cruisers or any of the people they say could corroborate their accounts that though is now weighing very heavily on republican senators here's what both sides of the aisle are say. what i can say is that the

most notable part of this report is what's not in it it looks to be a product of an incomplete investigation that was limited perhaps by the white house i don't know but the white house certainly blocked access to millions of documents from judge cabin on his record i know that and ensured that ninety percent of his e-mails and memos weren't available for the senate or the public in the hearings. so what we are one of the facts and the evidence tell us after seven. and us to go through the fact is that these allegations have not been cooperated with all of the allegations have been corroborated by the seventh. not in the new

f.b.i. investigation not anywhere so patito to what extent is this whole cavanaugh story kind of a window on the whole mood of the country and the way things have been there for months now. it really i think just shows how big the divide is we do know that the presidency of donald trump has really divided this nation what we saw though is that leading up to the cabin on nomination republicans and paul said that they were actually all that excited to vote that's why democrats are predicting that they take back the house possibly even the senate one thing that this chemical kavanaugh nomination is done it is awoken republicans conservatives both men and women who say that they feel like he is being unfairly accused of the democrats are playing dirty so this really has if you can look at social media you can look on facebook you can see friends openly arguing more i think than the election of donald trump this has served to cement where both sides are betting al hane in

washington thanks that's now us vice president mike pence is accusing china of trying to undermine the trumpet ministration comes just a week off to the president ledge china was interfering in the upcoming midterm elections to help his democratic rivals beijing is employing a whole of government approach to advance its influence and benefit its interests its employing this power in more proactive in coercive ways to interfere in the domestic policies of this country and interfere in the politics of the united states the chinese communist party is rewarding or coercing american businesses movie studios universities think tanks scholars journalists and local state and federal officials and worst of all. china has initiated an unprecedented effort to

influence american public opinion the two thousand eighteen elections and the environment leading into the twenty twenty presidential elections to put it bluntly president trumps leadership is working and china wants a different american president. oh i saw is no longer in control of towns and cities but its fighters still operate in the desert regions around the iraq syria border iraq's military has launched another offensive to target eisel sleeper cells long after the group lost territory. got rare access to the vast and barred desert of some of bin javid reports from the border town. even after i flew has been defeated the safest way to get to the border between iraq and syria is by air this is about empty quarter the desert which spans most of iraq's more than six hundred kilometer long border with syria isis fighters are still holed up here. and

soon after we took off this happened. the u.s. military's blackhawk helicopters threw through the altitude the pilots didn't tell us what they were shooting out and we didn't see any moving targets they had planned on their failure four years ago and bar was their final destination if this caliphate did not work out which it did not a u.s. led coalition is still helping iraqi forces but it insists its role is to aid and assist and not engage in the fight. much of that comes in the shape of intelligence sharing and training iraqi soldiers and nuts of critical importance in hard to reach areas such as province iraq's open desert has valleys and dunes i suppose trying to create safe havens on the rough terrain let me tell you that now we have great knowledge of the desert and we have secured areas eisel has launched multiple attacks in the past two months and killed at least seventeen iraqis including soldiers and shia militia fighters iraqi security officials insist that the

clearance operations are not just a comic anger but a genuine effort to maintain security as well conducts up to five attacks a month and we call dispose of forces in every area and when iraq forces concentrate one busy part to another vacant area iraq plans to spend more than three million dollars to build a fence. had gone through and watched hours to secure the border against who are also known as they are holding a geographical area across the border on the other side. this is very important not just for the coalition forces book really for the iraqi security forces and for iraq to prevent any kind of from the fighting in syria and coming into coming back into iraq. and to root out isolate point is the coalition backs iraqi troops on one side of the border and the mostly good is syrian democratic force on the other side.

this forward operations bases run inside iraq by the u.s. led coalition but the french artillery is hitting targets inside syria. the fighting has taken a major tool in iraq's infrastructure and it's not over yet iraqis in remote parts see that security forces may control the daytime but the night still belongs to iceland and the real challenge is to counter rising from regrouping in either side of the euphrates river osama bin. the iraq syria border. is a visiting fellow and not immune averse sense of a conflict security and terrorism joins us via skype now from nottingham thanks very much for being with us so how much of a threat does isaw remain while it operates in these desert areas. well it's a it's ironic it's the drought it isn't. concentrated in territories like it was in the past and certainly not. thirty miles from baghdad as it was and in

twenty forty or so what it's doing really is reverting to its reaps if you call i salute i wish to mouth wrong what was known as of iraq by people like us and the whole muslim ones or. and during that time it conducted with terrorist operations attacking those living or ones in cities and that is what is reverting to now it is just continual. and bomb attacks against soft target civilian targets there was an attack just or only twenty four hours ago needs a huge number of people were killed a total of seventy people have been killed in september and early july hundred injured so it's reverting to type converting to its roots and how long should you the u.s.

troops who are training iraqi forces stay in the country or should or is it would things be better if they left are they part of the problem their presence there. well of course their presence there inspire those are always use to justify some of these terrorist attacks but to be quite honest when u.s. troops were virtually nonexistent when. or isis only came into a position of territory and the question about a whole lot of the troops would remain very much depends on the approach that the iraqi security forces have been near approach to the iraqi government has a hell of a lot more troops for now in two thousand and four and for many years thereafter training the iraqi security forces and i'm fortunately for a number of reasons including corruption they weren't able to provide the security or own country and they were the knees of my own are i still.

excluded in iraq so now it's very much a case of our sunni iraqi security forces feel confident that they have a lot of the training but also have systems in place and particularly in terms of leadership to ensure that the event a resurgence of damage or any other similar terrorist group. in nottingham could speak with you. by india has deported seven men the first time it's taken action like this against the muslim minority from myanmar its top court as rejected a petition to allow them to stay the opposition is accusing the government of using the issue for political gain for elections next year but on a honda has more. that been in india for about ten years six of them in a jail charged with a legal entry now these muslim or hindu me in iran they way back to

a country with they say they endured firelands and persecution. they told india's supreme court nothing has changed for them and me and ma but failed in their petition to force the government to let them stay unfortunately the cork did not listen to this and has dismissed the abnegation that's even the way part of their their court case and. the seven men are some of the estimated forty thousand who have crossed into india escaping what they describe as years of persecution by me and mass government it culminated late last year in a government crackdown that forced hundreds of thousands of returned to flee into neighboring bangladesh the united nations called it a textbook example of it nick cleansing the government of young sons who denied any atrocities happened and said it was defending itself against armed groups. so.

india's prime minister not interim adi's government says undocumented revenger are illegal immigrants who pose a national security threat and are a drain on the country's resources state governments were told late last year to keep track of them and now for the first time maltese government is moving to deport them india's opposition accuses the ruling the j.-p. party of stoking the issue to harness anti muslim seem to mint ahead of elections next year the un says the decision to forcibly remove the revenger violates international law and that it is not safe for them and me and my but the indian government seems determined to forge ahead maybe on one hand which is here. still ahead on al-jazeera a new force of nature researches try to decode the mystery behind what's called dark matter. and we visit the red carpet at one of the ages most important film

a little bit better but still quite cloudy across much of that area down here towards hong kong well thirty degrees views are not looking too bad and also dry 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. we're. i have dedicated almost my entire professional life

to the bench and fight against corruption and what i have learned is that we need champions we need also to shine the light on those shampoos and this award bridges that gap that existed in this. nominate your own version of your own child to light on what they do and to have not shine a light on your hero with your nomination for the international space award two thousand and eighteen for more information go to isa war dot com.

hello again you're watching al-jazeera a reminder of our top stories this hour western governments are uniting to condemn russian cyber attacks the u.s. is indicting seven russian intelligence agents the netherlands details of oil that attempt to hack the un's chemical weapons watchdog and the u.k. accused russia of conducting a global campaign of malicious attacks russia is denying the allegations. and nearly a week after the earthquake and tsunami that devastated the indonesian island of siena way see hundreds of thousands of people are still in need of help the death toll has risen once again and now stands at one thousand four hundred twenty four looting has become a huge problem and the military has orders to shoot on sight. the chair of the u.s.

senate u.s. senate judiciary committee has said there is no hint of misconduct in the f.b.i. report into supremes court nominee brett kavanaugh and senate democrats say the report into sexual assault allegations is incomplete senate the full senate is expected to vote on his nomination on saturday sean zoller is the deputy editor of the congressional quarterly magazine he joins us now from washington thanks so much for being with us so how do you view what does what appears to be a very partisan atmosphere in washington over this whole story and how does it compare with what you've seen before. we've been mired in a very partisan atmosphere in washington for many years now but i can honestly say i've never seen it worse than it is right now the level of distrust between the two

parties is at an extreme level republicans feel that democrats have tried to railroad their nominee for the supreme court brett kavanaugh democrats feel that republicans are trying to ram him through without an adequate investigation so where do you see this going then. i mean because it really did the votes it didn't really come down to is sort of a game of numbers here as to who to to wet weather kavanaugh is going to be confirmed them on to the court on the right if all the democrats vote no the republicans can afford to lose just one vote and but at this point it's not clear who that one vote would be much less the two votes that would sink cavanagh's nomination we had susan collins the moderate republican senator from maine today say that she had looked at the f.b.i.

report and had not seen anything that raised concerns for her and we had jeff flake the arizona senator who is not seeking reelection and who demanded the f.b.i. investigation and got it saying much the same that leaves just lisa murkowski the alaska senator who is seen as someone who might vote no but if only she does it won't be enough to stop brett kavanaugh confirmation and one implication is all of this going to have for the upcoming in midterms regardless of whether cavanagh is voted on to the court. well democrats think it's going to help them certainly in the elections for the house of representatives where a lot of the competitive seats are suburbs outside of cities where educated women's vote is going to be very important and the educated women are very upset about this whole situation on the other hand republicans feel like this is going to help them

in some key senate races democrats are seeking reelection in conservative places like north dakota and west virginia and the republicans have been suffering from an enthusiasm gap they're not confident that their voters are going to turn out in the numbers democrats are well this fuss over brett kavanaugh this fight over brett kavanaugh has certainly they believe fired up the republican base good to speak to you. sean zoller thanks very much for being with us thank you for having me on now let's return to one of our top stories the devastating earthquake and tsunami that ripped through de indonesian island of sin the way see some of those lucky enough to survive a faced with life changing injuries and the loss of their loved ones and doug and spoke to some of them. eight year old when declines to god and asks for forgiveness he was in the position of prayer for head

a lot of water and then a man pulled me up by my arm the tsunami hit the town of pollute late 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

researches in italy have launched an ambitious search for a new force of nature the can help explain the mystery of what scientists call dark matter the experiment could allow physicists to identify commonly invisible objects in the universe reports from outside run. we live in a world of matter all the things we can see and touch but the best theory of reality physicists have only explains a tiny amount four percent of our observable universe at least national institute of nuclear physics scientists

a lot ching an experiment to discover the rest including so-called dark matter it's known certain road to unlocking the secrets of the universe. and this is where it begins with a particle accelerator and a theory we just select off of them are often thought if i think of a beam of positively charged subatomic particles called positrons is fired at a target a diamond away for a tenth of a millimeter thick and this is the divine one monk that when the positive particles smash into the negative electrons in the diamond wafer they produce photons light but every now and again the collision between positrons of electrons could produce a dark potong the invisible twin of ordinary light dark matter we are going to have a living in between these huge. power it's more normal or is it fair to call this the bridge between the c m b m c if the me yes the

problem it's. like night for the allows you to see what you see you normally. use to see what is in the dark it's called the positron annihilation into dark matter experiment or part may the short for star wars fans pov may also happens to be the dark lord darth vader's console it's no coincidence so how do scientists even know to look for something that they can't see well after studying galaxies they believe that there's a force much stronger than gravity holding those galaxies and all the star systems within them together a dark force. now up and running the experiment will last for several months if successful it could create an entirely new realm of physics much to the delight of the scientists very excited and not because then we have. to do it if you're for a few weeks he's. already paid for it it's now down to the experts to share their
