fire when that needs to be addressed at its core, we are in a race against the barrier and know what to say. we are all looking at the world as it is right now, not the world. we like it to be. the devil is always going to be in the house the bottom line when i was just there on me . ready hello, i'm barbara in london. these are the top stories on al jazeera is really far right . nationalists have held what they call the flagged march through occupied east jerusalem. is really police move dozens of palestinians from outside the cities, the mask escape before the controversial rally. 27 were injured, the rally was delayed from last month, but was given the go ahead by the new government. the policy in prime minister says they suppose haitian infection called for a day of rage against stephanie decker has more now from occupied east jerusalem. a

lot of security here, barbara, to say we had hundreds and hundreds of ultra nationalists far right. is ready. settlers coming in here and selling what you're seeing now is that it's back to normal policy unions are back in damascus gate. this is, of course, the hub and the center of life really unoccupied is through the market. there are shops around people go in and out of the city says the pictures that you saw just a couple of hours ago. incredibly different and credibly provocative what had happened. basically is that israeli police had reinforced the grounded about 2000 police. they had pushed all the palace thing and back even up the street surrounding the damascus gate area. there were some skirmishes they did disperse them as well. you said there around $27.00 injured, allowing for hundreds and hundreds of the settlers to come and fly their flag. terry was a bit, but was what was interesting is that there was an incredibly reinforce police

presence unusual because really this is a march that takes place on a yearly basis. and we noticed that there was really seem that there seem to be some kind of orders to make sure that it didn't escalate. so in general, they were concerned that this would again reignite tensions on the ground that we've seen over the last couple of weeks. the last month or so, but i think having now wrapped up, they were pushed away by the police after around 2 hours or so. and the date seems to have passed in the sense of without escalating the ground so far. certainly that hasn't happened. the e u and the us of resolve the 17 year battle over aircraft subsidies, the deal suspense, tariffs for 5 years for boeing, and they're about us. president joe biden calls that a major breakthrough and says it will help counter china's anti competitive practices in the nation. sector, the president of the european council council or so on their line was delighted with the result. we had an excellent meeting among friends and allies. and this

meeting started with a breakthrough on aircraft. the agreement, we have now really opened a new chapter in our relationship because we moved from litigation to corporation on aircraft and that after almost 20 years of dispute, it is the longest trade dispute in the history of w t o. climate change may have already passed and irreversible tipping point. that's the warning from a top arctic researcher marcus rex as presented the findings from the biggest ever expedition to the arctic. more than $300.00 scientists spend more than a year gathering data, they found that arctic ice is retreating faster than ever before. so come to the ice dr. waters to that is can the arctic year round ice be rescued? if you've seen the ailing and melting ice at the north pole in the summer of 2020,

then delta arise, there are several tipping points in the climate system which lead to irreversible sudden changes which are triggered when the planet reaches a certain temperature. and we have seen that we are on the verge of that tipping point, which will lead to the disappearance of the ice in the arctic summer. more than 600000 people have now died from corona virus in the united states. it's the 1st country to pass that number. it's also the country with the most cases, more than $33000000.00. but the vaccination drive is rapidly bringing down the daily figures. and the new president still hasn't been declared in peru more than a week after the election. right. when candid cake, maureen, risks, and imminent corruption trial for socialist rival federal kasteel hold onto is now we'll need a look now and how the spyware pegasus works. that's coming up next. the in al jazeera world, the spy in your phone. ah,

[000:00:00;00] ah . the in mid 2020 a mobile phone belonging to odyssey or arabic, was hacked over the next few months, working with an organization called the citizen lab between promoters, era unpacked,

and extraordinary story of some of the most advanced spyware in the world. and how it's used, not least on jazz ears, journalists, ah, with a click of a button. you can bring down nations to their news very rapidly if you so desire. and if you're willing to take them, because every system can be israel, manufacturers, pegasus, some of the most advanced spyware in the world. it 1st came to attention in 2016. since then, various governments have bought the spyware for their own use. questions today are, how does pegasus work? who is using it, and who it's victims? well, there's very little in the actual details behind the pegasus spyware. the code, the malicious code that was used, that's very,

very difficult to find out more about. that was a little early and living again, i'm out of food because of how do you live a month and then i can use i had a mobile. i can answer them from the mobile. how they on the know about her, been cut off and cut the 3030 here on the amendment. i've had these holes in, i'll just hear arabic investigative report time out on this high followed a complicated technical process to track this infamous spyware. over many months, he had one of his own phones monitored constantly with the help of citizen lab and international research laboratory based in canada, that specializes in data surveillance. citizen la was the 1st to expose the existence of israel's pegasus spyware. in 2016, they disclose details of what they called on exploit infrastructure. connected to

a phone belonging to an activist from the united arab emirates. the infiltration, the heck led to the arrest of madmen saw remains in prison to this day. the new hacking technique was called a 0 day exploits, and pegasus was, the spyware used to infiltrate months whose phone bill most acts from citizen lab, has worked for several years to expose pegasus. so what happened in 2016 started with this man. madeline sword, the activist in the u. e. and he noticed some suspicious messages on his phone and that he was getting the s m s. he thought they were weird because they came from unknown numbers and they were promising information about human rights. so he forwarded them to me at citizen lab. we had known each other for a while. i got a burner phone, not obviously my, my real phone,

a burner phone and clicked on the links. and while i was doing this, i was recording the internet traffic and recording the activity on the phone and what was installed. when i clicked the link was a very sophisticated spyware payload. and the interesting question was, well, who could be behind us? who might have programmed the spyware who might have sold it, who might be using it, and the process to figure that out is called attribution. so what we did in the report is we noticed that when you clicked on the link a 2nd time, it wouldn't cause the infection. it was only limited to the 1st click and the 2nd click would send you to a d y website to try and make it look innocuous or benign. so we clicked on the 2nd time we got redirected to google, but it wasn't just any redirect to google. it was a very specific piece of code. someone had sat down and written on their computer. so we figured, well, maybe this is part of this spyware. somehow and if we can scan the internet,

we can find other servers that had the same weird redirect to google. so this is exactly what we did. we use the popular open source v math program. we scan the internet and found 149 other servers, and this is where it gets interesting because this 2nd redirect to google was also . busy returned by 3 servers and s o q a dot com q a n q a dot com and mail one dot and s o group dot com and the name here. and so group we found in a brochure in these really government's website. they had a brochure for this company in a so group, which is based in israel and sells a product called pegasus, which is spyware, for mobile phones. in the case of pegasus citizen lab did very good work and was very, very conclusively able to say that pegasus had been written by an over. but it's actually stream lea rare that we're able to get that sort of concrete attribution

and say this malware was written by this company. the n s o group is a technology company based in hatch layer in israel founded in 2010. it employs over 500 cybersecurity experts, package spyware is viewed as its most important product use. israel is one of the most sophisticated cyber actors in the world. and i think that a lot of this is because the israeli army is training people to do this sort of offensive, packing for you know, in their military service. more of them allow me in if he how he should go home, how do you men wish that some tele, within the huff a way the way is done the list is what alaska really value element will be. the customer, well,

hold on her should it gets more talk about leo harbor was off at the thought was a little slightly r n a say, which is called unit a 200. it's pretty big. we allow them to create companies. and we, and order for the companies to develop, they need to make what they need to make money. they need to make money. thomas almost house spoke to william benny, who for over 30 years, worked with the us national security agency, a former cryptography, and later a whistleblower common benny was the n. s. a technical leader of intelligence, many has a high level understanding of the agencies data collection systems. what that means is, any i phone or any phone in the world 1st connecting to the network when you want to use it, you're immediately known worldwide. i mean,

all the switches have you and capture your ip and all, and your phone and mac numbers and all that. that's how they bill you. so that also is the known by the network and the implants, computer network exploitation implants, they have around the world over this was in 2004 or 2010, somewhere in that range. they had over 50000 implants and all these switches, servers and networks worldwide. i mean that means they own the entire network. so that if you, your phone comes on the air, then they can, they can know who you are and where you are. when you citizen loud, exposed to n. s. so, and it's peggy of spyware. in 2016, it attracted worldwide control, oversee and so claims its mission is to develop technology for government agencies to quote, detect and prevent terrorism and crime. however, the nature of its targets, the individuals whose phones happy packed,

raises questions about these claims. when pegasus was released a few years ago, it was mainly targeted on human rights activists, journalists, and politicians, and targeted people maybe of people with high wealth. but it's never really going to be used on the, on joe public if you were to target everyone in mass net, i don't think that would be as important to the people behind it. they didn't want to see my day today. that was your day today going off to specific people. the danger of such cy ram is its ability to infiltrate every piece of private information. and hacked a targeted device to the most used applications. in 2019 whatsapp owned by facebook accused and so of hacking the popular communications to this waste fear,

amongst the huge numbers of global users and fort sab, especially at a time when some targeted victims appeared to meet with dreadful consequences. it came, she left a la softly darville visit phone. mister mostly listened lane with the bell. so did the little house fuji, a quarter of a swirl of dogs, the la garza, my uncle, share mon cortez. my will mail the bustle of most of them. he saw, i saw, nor was there something makes me quite up on me. there was mexico visual to be on. i mix economy, there's a lot at the nozzle, whole on the layer a cou away. it will ny she or do i will be called to mr. la la, la ray, oh my god do. when they alarm. so if you do think that you are someone who is an important target, you're likely to face scrutiny by some government in the middle east or elsewhere. and you are a journalist, an activist, or

a member of civil society. i'd recommend that. yes. please do get in touch with, with citizen lab or other researchers who work in this space or any other trauma and michelle, i wanted to know how difficult it was to monitor the phone, suspected or being hacked. and here how many a santa basically it involves installing an app on the phone, which allows us to inspect the internet traffic. and we do this for some period of time, depending on what the user would like. we can do it for a short time. we can do it for a long time and try and identify suspicious patterns or evidence that the phone might be hacked me ah, while working as an investigative journalist almost housed with swipes and other suspicious messages through different apps. the threats increased over the months ramping up. as he worked on more sensitive region of subjects,

he decided to install a tracking up on his work phone, developed by citizen lab to trace possible hacking. the conventional way to hack a smartphone is to send a suspicious message to the targeted form that includes a short text and a leg. when the user clicks on the link, software takes control of the phone and thus makes the device accept any commands sent through the link. the device is then automatically connected to a server used by the hackers, and that is how the spyware gets installed on the phone. the user doesn't see the spyware on their phone, which is already being hacked. the hackers can then control the device and all its functions. the main challenge for spyware is to find a vulnerability in the targeted phone,

particularly as modern smartphone security protection techniques have developed significantly. pegasus managed to advance this capability considerably to be able to penetrate various kinds of smartphone. once the infection happens, the malware itself did the same stuff that we see a lot of malware do, which is a spy on phone calls, spy on text messages and what's messages and any other encrypted messages you're sending and turn on your microphone and turn on your camera, what made it especially sophisticated was that they were willing to use brand new exploits for i phones to infect their victims and some of these exploits could cost upwards of a $1000000.00. ah, each supplier package, the spyware, to its clients, cost millions of dollars, and it can only used for a limited period of time. that means targeting a large number of smartphones for a long period of time,

cost hundreds of millions of dollars. this extremely expensive cost raises questions. who can afford this spyware? who are n s o groups, main clients, on its website, and as a group says it, spyware is quote, used exclusively by government intelligence, as efficiently requested by the governance themselves. does this mean that pegasus cannot be purchased by other parties? when people leave the israeli military service, they have all this very specialized, very highly sought after well paid knowledge. and so they take it to private companies such as an s o group, right. and then they, they sell it to countries that are known to violate human rights. because, you know, even though they are perhaps very intelligent about computer security, they clearly haven't thought so much about the human rights implications of what

they're doing or maybe they don't care. thank us all up or teach it eat doing that you more likely will finish me more. michele holt: she'll be the honcho medina, old or of a 100 years ago. only got go my name on the lawyer. they are, the more hell it is a lot on them. so a lot of a l. i'm a higher electrical law. got the same love a so deep widely, whole day meal it and the me a holler or the columbia of bell them, or mid bo lome. working on this investigation time on this house so many signs of hacking attempts on his phone. the one he had fitted out to track any infiltration. after 7 months, the 19th of july 2020, he received a phone call from citizen lab informing him that the phone had been hacked.

the hacking happened a few days after he had erred an investigative documentary about an indian tie. truth which disclosed controversial legal documents about the ty coons linked to the you eat and his flight from the country are miss hall. had used the same form to communicate with officials and individuals in the u. e. in order to give them the right to reply to the allegations and the film. so the 1st thing that we saw on your phone was on july 19th between about 103311288. m g m cheap. there were a very high number of connections to apple servers. now usually your phone will just communicate with one apple server for icloud, for your backups, for your contact syncing the information. but in this case, in less than an hour, we saw your phone and communicate with 18 different apple servers. and this was very unusual. you don't usually see those on phones,

so that was the 1st clue that something suspicious was going on. and immediately after this communication stopped, we saw your phone reach out to this website regular hours dot net. in other words, your phone connected to this website, and this website stands out, because we know from our research, a citizen lab that regular ours dot net, this website is linked to an s o group pegasus spyware. so we saw your phone reaching out to this, and if so, packets of spyware server, which let us to suspect, and then later conclude that your phone was infected. so what we can see from the recording of your internet traffic. so let's go to this point in time here, 1129, where the phone communicates with the packets a server. and we can look beforehand to see what was going on immediately before that. and the only thing that we see is this communication with icloud, with apple servers. we don't see any evidence that you pressed on

a link or clicked on anything or went to any website. so what we think happened is that these communications with the apple servers delivered the initial exploits to have your phone. in other words, you didn't click on anything. your phone was automatically hacked, a so called 0 click, like we said 0 click exploits delivered through apple servers. this is a very expensive export. yes, this is if you think about the sophistication of exports to break into phones. this is as good as it gets 0 click means hacking, without clicking on any links. pegasus does not require any action by the user or a click on any suspicious links. the user receives a call from an unknown caller through the internet, and the phone gets hacked, even without answering the phone call. after that pegasus spyware is installed on

the targeted phone. taking full control of the device was definitely the most sophisticated attack i've seen in the last few years. the fact it was able to be installed on a target device without the target increasing what i think. so 0 click attack. this is incredibly impressive. and i could say very rarely thing to better do that. it so sophisticated. but as it is rare, it's difficult for us to really know much more about it is something of this method she was able to be conducted to still such data is a bit of a worry she had that struck 0 cliff tom. i don't miss how i wanted to know if the 0 click process enabled, complete access to all the applications and content on his phone within the island you had as far as we know, they can access everything on the phone. we saw from looking at the log files on your phone that they were able to access the media framework so they were able to

turn on the microphone turn on the camera. if they wanted to listen into meetings or conversations going on around your device. they were also able to tap into the key chain on the phone, and this is where your passwords for email accounts. social media maybe stored the fact the citizen lab was tracking tamara's phone helped him take precautionary measures to prevent sensitive information being accessed. the most important thing was for him to discover the moment the hacking took place and who else was affected . we found working together with l just here as i t team is that your case was not the only one. there were at least $36.00 other cases inside ultra 0, a phones that we're communicating with servers that we linked to and s o groups, packets of spyware. in other words, there were many different people at odyssey or who were hacked and target is not just you all miss holland,

the team from citizen lab analyze the data connected to the hacking technology which targeted these devices. the hack appeared to be part of an organized campaigns targeting symbol teeniest, the mobile phones of dozens of all just a journalist in order to spy on them. according to citizen labs technical report, israel's pegasus spyware, was used to infiltrate these phones by looking at the links and the accounts, the hacking of the phones was carried out, mainly in the e and saudi arabia. the 2 countries that most use this advanced israeli technology in the region. well, what we saw with the infection inside l g 0, is that about half of them were from this operator that we call monarchy. if the code name that we give these operators when we refer to them inside citizen lab,

and this operator is spying mostly in saudi arabia and cutter, but not very many other countries. so this tells us, well, if they're spying mostly in saudi arabia, maybe it is, in fact the saudi arabian government and the other half were from this other operator that we call smithy castro inside citizen lab. and this operator seems to be mostly targeting inside the united arab emirates and color. so this tells us that the government, in this case may be the united arab emirates government, in other words, to different governments. it, like we're behind this campaign, ah, deals to purchase pegasus spyware on no longer a secret. many reports claim that saudi arabia and the u. e. have spent hundreds of millions of us dollars to buy packages from israel. such deals seemed to be

reinforced after the recent us brokers so called normalization deal between the us and israel ah, the demand for low price is celebrating at high speed. that's absolutely great by 2030, the industry will expand by an additional 60 percent. i'll just take a detailed look at disposal fashion. we want to calculate it exposing the hidden human and environmental costs. why was a company give free what she's never been there? no doubt it had boss fashions or knowledge of a city defined by military occupation. there's never been an arab state, he with the capital of jerusalem. everyone is welcome. but the default section that maintain the call on a project,

that's what we refuse. was one of the founders of settlement with this and the story of juice alone through the eyes of its own people, segregation, occupations, discrimination, injustice. this is tied in 21st century truth and them a rock and a hard place analogy 0. the latest news, as it breaks from a bio in many parts of the country, becoming increasingly real detail coverage conditions aren't really clean until a local administrator said that they've already detected several cases of from around the world. a couple of 100 migrant children have been found places on the mainland to alleviate pressure in theater. hey say that's come and check out this guy. hopefully up to skip are receiving crucial weather navigation or data from me to keep his crew and passengers safe.

everything looked ship shape. oh, he's happy of an official with a net full of pose through all to look thanks to me. he's on the video cool with his wife to tell her about his promotion. i kept in asheville, sat space to deliver your vision. oh hello. and barbara, here in london, these are the top stories on al jazeera is really far right. nationalists have held what they call the flagged march through occupied east jerusalem is really police moves, dozens of palestinians from outside the cities, the mask escape before the controversial rally. 27 were injured. the rally was delayed from last month but was given the go ahead by the new government. the palestinian prime minister says it's a publication and factions called for
