give to co-host the olympic games in twenty thirty two seoul metropolitan council met to help formulate its bit. as well as the initial cost billions more will have to be spent on infrastructure in both careers in spite of the hefty price tag many here believe it's worth it. if we can co-host i think it will provide a good opportunity to move towards peace the only captain and then of course cost is a concern but there's around thirteen years to go and north korea could develop its economy to a considerable extent by then given its relative wealth compared to its much poorer northern neighbor south korea would probably have to bear much of the cost at least in the beginning offering an insight into how reunification might work one beat it will pass on in the long term if there is reunification there will be synergy with

committee with the highly volatile nature of into korean relations the question is whether the momentum of cooperation can be maintained a decision on hosting the twenty thirty two games won't be taken until twenty twenty five and who knows what relations between the north and the south will look like seven years from now rob mcbride al jazeera sold back to maryam thank you that wraps up the news hour but more news coming up very shortly a full blast and just a couple of minutes stay with us. call

against america and other nations in twenty charges true to the chinese government with targeting at least twelve countries. though i maryam namazie in london with al-jazeera also coming up on the program president has a deal to avoid a government shutdown off days denied money for his border wall her. aides now dead as protests over grise in crisis in sudan spread to hard to him and all the cities. and of the d.r. sees electoral board delays sunday's long awaited vote blaming it on a fire which destroyed voting materials in kinshasa. at a time of escalating tension between the united states and china

a new front has opened up in the war between the two leading economies cyber hacking and economic espionage the us is charged two chinese hackers for attempting to steal trade secrets and technologies and for compromising the computers of western governments and django are allegedly part of a hacking group known as advanced persistent threat ten which is linked to china's main intelligence service us government agencies including the navy and nasa have been compromised as well as american companies involved in aviation space and satellite technology at least twelve country was were targeted overall including brazil. canada india japan sweden and the u.k. the charges are unlikely to impact the alleged attackers though but to could have implications for the global economy actually call him explains from washington. at the justice department sweeping allegations against two chinese nationals accused of widespread hacking the victims included companies in banking and finance

telecommunications in computer consumer electronics medical equipment packaging manufacturing consulting healthcare biotechnology automotive oil and gas exploration and mining the government says the hackers were able to get into the computers of nasa the energy department and the navy stealing the personal information of one hundred thousand sailors they wouldn't name the companies that were targeted but did say many of the attacks were aimed at managed service providers you've all heard about situations where you see somebody essentially the cyber equivalent of breaking into a house this is more like breaking into and getting the keys from the maintenance supervisor who has keys to hundreds and hundreds of apartments and all the residents in those apartments according to the indictment the to work for the chinese government and are believed to still be in china meaning they are unlikely to actually be arrested but this comes at

a time of increased tensions between the u.s. and china after the arrest of a chinese tech executive at the request of the u.s. on charges of violating sanctions and the clock ticking on a ninety day window hope that ending the trade war leading to another bad day on the stock market as the u.s. injects even more tension to the over the front u.s. china relationship. al-jazeera washington earlier we spoke to jodi westby the chief executive of global cyber risk she said companies in government simply don't have the right security measures in place to stop hacking operations. these are highly experienced cyber criminals a reported lee working for the chinese intelligence agency or on behalf of the chinese government so they they're likely using malware and other types of tools that are out there on the internet but they may also be using specially developed. cyber tools of their own in any event they are operating in

a stealth mode meaning they're difficult to detect but the other problem too is that many of the companies and governments don't have the types of cyber security controls they need to have in place to protect highly sensitive information and intellectual property the other thing i think is that the governments do need to continue to make. these kinds of gestures certainly indicating this isn't just intelligence gathering this is economic espionage and it's criminal activity now and all the developments u.s. president ronald trump is still republican party leaders he will not sign a bill to fund the government because it doesn't include money for his proposed border war with mexico temporary funding bill must be signed by midnight on friday to avoid a government shutdown john wants it to include five billion dollars for his role but the budget for border security and fencing is one point three billion the government shutdown would see more than eight hundred thousand federal workers

pressure from the president's conservative base insisting on tough measures at the us mexico border has persuaded him to stand fast in saying that he needs a piece of legislation that will include spending for what he says should be an impenetrable border wall however many senators have already left and if they called a vote right now to try to pass a new version of a bill there aren't enough senators in washington to actually even hold that debate vote meanwhile house leaders saying that they're going to try to give donald trump what he wants which is a temporary spending bill including funding for the so-called border wall but even if the house members do pass their own version of this legislation it has to match whatever the senate has already passed out that match there can't be legislation sent to the president's desk the president himself is getting ready to leave for his own christmas break in southern florida on friday as of this there are little

more than twenty four twenty five hours to get all of this work done and so may people who work for the u.s. government are waiting to find out whether they're going to continue to get paid just as christmas and the new year's arrive. well a combination of mounting tensions between the u.s. and china and trump's threat of a government shutdown over the border will have been playing out in the markets the dow has sunk some five hundred points bring its losses since friday to over eight hundred points the nasdaq index is down twenty percent from its august peak christensen only has more on this from new york it was another difficult day on wall street in what has been a very difficult month the dow jones industrial average closed down more than two percent nearly five hundred points amid fears of a slowing global economy and the government shutdown investors are spooked at the
