easing a little bit as it does so but behind it still not warm perth only getting to 16 school force in the southeast as well with melbourne just getting to around 18 but at least it's not too windy here on like new zealand it's been incredibly windy the winds have been gusting nearly $150.00 kilometers per hour in places but they are now beginning to wind down so for many of us that should be a little bit better as we head through the next few days so lots of cloud a fair amount of rain for the south island on thursday but i think that she clear away for friday and then there should be more in the way of drawing weather up towards the northern parts of asia plenty of dry weather here the latest system is now working its way away from us in japan. anything you say tight brows can be held against. food lines investigates how governments are using israeli software to turn critic cell phones into the ultimate

was spoken about some secrets related to the torture united arab emirates they tell us that mostly for me to click on the link. that the u.a.e. had bought a powerful spyware called pegasus that can break into almost any smartphone i want to target opens an attached link at the bottom line to the government to your is to enter i divison certain individuals open trista. months or is now serving a 10 year prison sentence in the u.a.e. for publicly criticizing this government. not only people in jenin but that would also cause some people to be killed or. assassinated in. this case was the 1st detective hack of its kind. in the last 4 years pegasus has been used against activists and journalists around the world. in this

episode of faultlines we investigate how governments are using pegasus to turn their critic cell phones into the ultimate tools of surveillance. in 2015 pegasus showed up in mexico. among the 2 dozen targets was mexico's most famous investigative journalist carmen. team it just revealed a major corruption scandal involving the president at the time in reeky opinion. the story shocked the nation and soon our stock you felt the backlash. that brought this young escapee and then yeah to me even in this money. 2 months

after the revelations and her teenage son started getting strange text messages with enticing links. but on this same as them inside his case. i love the. media who got of on the. job but. i'll give people the goes right out. there is a mother with a lot of. get us out of it as a woman. you know they look at the enemy they left on. this last 4 and there's a nice combine you know pretty says the one about us cyber security researchers in canada determine there are a sticky and her son emilio had been targeted with pegasus at the time emilio was a 16 year old high school student studying in the u.s. we're supposed to look at this up with a in the in the in there they know her but there is

a going on not only saying they not in the upper case that he will grow. no escaping stevie. those right you and i that have made up my your when those t.v. set is the only style ornate i mean even through seaver when i mean them lupul that osa bought us of it at the overlook yes in being able to get our notice in the. study of any hope get ill is doesn't get in beside i one mile out of anatomy. to find out more about the use of pegasus in mexico we came to our 3 d. the digital rights group that has helped shed light on the cyber attacks here how many pegasus infections have you found in mexico. we know that at least 30 people have been targeted in that on those where human rights defenders journalists politicians even international investigators but we know from the contract that has been made public is that mexico acquired that really to infect $500.00 targets so

we know that there probably were. many many many more targets. because this is the creation of an israeli spy ware company called an a so group. the mexican attorney general's office recently disclosed his contracts within a soaker from 2016 in 2017. to show the office had paid at least $32000000.00 for pegasus have you seen anything like this when it comes to surveillance on this scale. we have seen other types of malware we have seen some cases here and there we haven't seen the scale of the use with them our 2 less powerful as these one. one of the things that makes pegasus so powerful is that it can access information on a phone before it can be encrypted. encrypted protects the user's privacy by securing the data on a device. lots of authorities for legitimate and illegitimate purposes want to be

able to crack by looking at the devices before that information is encrypted in the 1st place. i guess is takes total control of phone he can get access to pictures chats the contact lens the can open the mike open the camera with the you know dissing it records everything you type. in a soaker it says it only contracts with governments and law enforcement agencies to buy criminals and terrorists. and that their technology has helped thwart terror attacks and save thousands of lives but they won't say how some of the people that seem targeted clearly they're not suspects what why would they target them the government was trying to silence them he was trying to make them not resist. acts and by tomorrow rights violations corruption lies and when a target is particularly difficult to target they call to your immediate circle so

in no ways an attack on all sides. you know so group says that it can remotely cut off a client's access to pegasus if their abuse it but more had to report it in mexico after the pegasus scandal blew up in. 2017 in the state of sinaloa home to one of mexico's most powerful drug cartels javier valdez was gunned down just blocks from his office. he was a reporter payments for his unflinching coverage of narco violence here. and not a fake tan. i am ente. kind of sign yes and i know that i could put our set. brazil the tree owner is the widow of valdez she's a journalist and activist and so lower. risk companion as man. must.

be when they hear more of them and they are christan last seen to somebody yes he and quite appalled a home here. already. just days after the shooting triana got strange text messages that included links fish hair some water on me that the sea natalie here where this where. is the messiah who met here for one of these years this was an animal that i read and the link here is a bit early b. i t. l. y. so that's hiding with the actual late this is sent to and this is so specific to you. john one candle for. release here on joy i love. this and up ahead way komisar

nasional they simply that. the feet. joined us but immediate access saw. us. here at the supply at the scales at amity. and dawn service misson d b r lather. to evolve as his colleagues at the cinema were based newspaper rio dos say also received pegasus impacted links within days of the murder. audrey's heriot was one of them. why do you think you were targeted benson was a go we had opinion which up but he supporters or their ilk us or how we have border that then sure maybe at the good good boy gus will. then inform us your little star that our handle on the door the at among the soldiers who for media also is must have guns quite a lot of meals i must put a stop that import them is to have

a good start in the maybe at the mint they spoil that as is he not but. why would they need to secretly illegally surveil your phone is the implication that they think you didn't tell the truth or you're holding something back and this is a still making course in the just cause us get up and demand this one inexpert governess know conformant back the name best us your correct it up and seem bleak as they ain't there all that most well there but it will stop when the as i said. help us out on which will be as this was a lesson that both of you had to fight on before only many apps do you worry about more the authorities or the narcos. so no soloed no are you there and that it. is more you dave you. get a lot also make it quick we have to say they are. 2 men were arrested a year after the murder but the mastermind was never apprehended. 99 percent of

crimes against journalists go unpunished in mexico. it's unknown if paul does get a similar message just before his death his killers took his phone and laptop. do you think your vote is tapped now. just like a me and how about i thought my state that better does man ask can i see. sense has they. sent data mail said of either. in 2017 under pressure from the public the mexican attorney general's office launched a criminal investigation into the hacking of journalists and activists. this is the same agency that bought pegasus so far no one has been held accountable. earlier this year the mexican government claimed that it no longer uses pegasus. the 1st people to discover what pegasus is and does were researchers at citizen lab

a digital rights group at the university of toronto. they investigate abuses of pegasus worldwide one of the biggest selling points of this stuff is that its way can be hard to find there's a cat and mouse game. they hide we seek they were able to associate the links that were sent to months or are stacking or signed triano in many others within a so groups servers. the 1st time that we learn about pegasus about this or get in touch and says. ok let's try to take you straight to sudan's capital now a spokesman for the minute she's holding a press conference that's listening to what they have to say we hope and pray that their families. and. loved it supports. very important.

one. of the key the allies of the believe. you can change.
