prison or straight is from minister says his country has been hit by a major cyber attack best song it is all levels of government and businesses scott morrison says a sophisticated state based actor is behind the campaign but stopped short of identifying the culprits there's speculation the attacks may be part of a growing rift with china but morrison did not confirm that. simply confirm is there not a large number of state by state as they can engage in this type of activity and it is created by strongly advise that we have received that this has been done by i started by stichter with very very significant type abilities taken to gauges in the australian capital camber and she says the attack is widespread. from health and education through to critical infrastructure organize ations and this is something that the prime minister says is happening more frequently and on
12:04 pm
a lot just scale and he said the reason why he was announcing it to the public wasn't to concern them but to say for all of those organizations they should be making sure that they have the critical infrastructure in place to thwart an attack but of course the big question here is who is behind this and already many analysts are pointing to the potential of china being the watch source all these threats interesting leave much of the rhetoric from scott morrison's press conference seem to be more aimed at the international community rather than the astray in public he was saying that needs to protect its sovereignty its national interest and he stopped short of bringing china into this he said that he wouldn't be saying who the government thought was behind this but of course this comes at a time of heightened tensions between cound and beijing there have been trade
12:05 pm
issues in the agricultural sector where the beijing and chinese government have been putting trade sanctions on bali imports so interesting way this is really raising the focus on beijing and a strike relationship even though we don't know who was behind this attack david vaile is a simon law and data protection specialist in the law faculty at the university of new south wales he says this attack is unlikely to be isolated. it's aimed at the moment to have been prepare a trio sort of approach being a tech trying to identify public facing web services there's a particular tool that been identified called tarryl teller rick at the front end of certain sorts of websites this is so it's not really designed to do anything
12:06 pm
in particular at the moment it's designed to get into to find where the the chinks in the where the access points are particularly experimental or testing services or old ones things that nobody's really looking after too closely and once that's done they try to steal the credential so they can come in through the front door posing as someone legitimate and all of this looks like it's a preparation for something lighter on the other hand it is also sending a message that it's. while it's not easy to attribute. i'm sure the people in teligent services and government more confident about where it's coming from and it is in that sense potentially sending a message. in other news u.s. secretary of state mike on pale has accused former national security adviser john bolton of being a traitor is reacting to bolton's new book which says president trump tried to end this to help a foreign leaders to win reelection olten is now being targeted on social media
12:07 pm

12:08 pm
a weak job of an author and this is despicable that he chose to publish this book without fully going through the review process chromos top treated visor a personal attack by the it's the washington swamps equivalent of revenge where he got fired because he did not obey the chain of command because his views were totally out of sync with president don j. trump with respect to how to how to handle international fears john bolton's been working on the book for months the president's long serving pick national security adviser was present during key moments of the truck presidency the summit with north korea and singapore the meeting with russian president vladimir putin in finland g 7 g 20 a need to gatherings around the world. old bolton says trump is easily flattered by authoritarian leaders who try to manipulate him and america's strategic interests are less important than winning reelection so in a longer interview to iran american t.v. this weekend he says donald trump isn't fit to be president i don't think he's fit
12:09 pm
for office so i don't think he has the competence to carry out the job there really isn't any guiding principle that i was able to discern other than what's good for donald trump's reelection borton was called to give evidence from congress held impeachment hearings but donald trump legal steps to avoid doing that the democratic leader of the house of representatives says he's no hero telling his stories no president trump is clearly ethically unfit and intellectually unprepared to be the president of the united states that doesn't seem to matter to the republicans and the united states senate didn't seem to matter to john bolton he chose royalty over lot over patriotism the trumpet ministration is taking legal action to stop publication of the book which is due to hit the shelves on tuesday but there are many copies already in circulation and it's rare for the court to issue such injunctions in the next few weeks another book on trump is expected to
12:10 pm
be published it's written by his niece who is also a psychologist and it's expected also to be highly critical of the president alan fischer al-jazeera at the white house. and president trump has lashed out at the supreme court after a board against him for the 2nd time this week the judges brought trump's bid to end a program that stops hundreds of thousands of immigrants from being deported by can i reports from washington. and crowds gathered outside the u.s. supreme court many here are so-called dreamers the children of undocumented immigrants who are now assured of the right to residence for the. or see a book you chose between 7 and 800000 people are affected by the supreme court decision i've had dark eyes since i was 15 and 16 years old and it's allowed me to go to college and see i mean to get a full time job that could have all been stripped away had the corner decided
12:11 pm
different you were joining the celebrations was the senate minority leader chuck schumer this is just the beginning you are going to become american citizens and great american citizens. there was a vastly different reaction from a disgruntled president who lashed out on twitter do you get the impression that the supreme court doesn't like me he asked plaintively these horrible and politically charged decisions coming out of the supreme court or shotgun blast in the face of people that are proud to call themselves republicans or conservatives he continued we need more justices we will lose our 2nd amendment and everything else in writing the majority decision chief justice roberts made clear he offered to administer to failures in the trump legislation not the policy itself this is similar to the trump travel ban that was rejected by the court for the same reasons
12:12 pm
but then approved when it was reintroduced in an amended form theoretically the administration's lawyers could read draft the repeal to address the court's concerns and then introduce it again the only long term guarantee of the dream has rights is immigration reform in congress we need real solutions you need real relief from congress and from all parties because that's the only way that we can. get our path to citizenship and actually can't full acknowledgment of all our contributions to this country. this is a minimally acceptable program and congress cannot feel good about themselves that even throughout this that throughout this entire period they have failed to produce comprehensive immigration reform so we are we are still going to continue to hold them accountable but that is all in the future of the earth day at this place it's

leaders right but the nigerian military as you know has claimed victory against arm in the past but the group still poses it seems a major threat even beyond nigeria's borders why is it why is it so difficult for the nigerian army to to defeat it. well basically this is a question many nigerians have been asking remember nigerian military operations in liberia bring in 2 and the war in that country nigerian soldiers also significantly help to end the civil war in sierra leone and a lot of people have been asking why are the nigerian soldiers not able to bring in this insurgency for an end after 10 years a lot of practice play now a lot of people think that the military is under prepared to deal with this new guerrilla warfare on their doorsteps and these attacks for example is coming on

investigative mechanism would be both the simplest and strongest basis for promoting much needed accountability in libya given the ongoing serious violations occurring every day in the country the establishment of such a mechanism would be important while the human rights council met in geneva libya was also being discussed by the un security council at a virtual session run from new york the high commissioner for refugees spoke on the day that the un declared there were now almost 80000000 people forcibly displaced around the world felipe program day said libya was one of the places that concern to most what a noise that we put we must continue to focus or so on the situation of libyan civilians and of refugees and migrants the detention has decreased at least in the detention centers where we have access we we estimate that migrants and
