his platform has been very vague. he has said very little. he hasn't had a huge public presence during the campaign period. but there is a sense that his favorite, because the general public has really one thing on their mind and they want some change from the moderate reform us government. they've been over the past 8 years. there is a sense such as the economic situation in the country is not going to change anytime soon. so they're hoping with approaching bracey, they will be some kind of a change take place in iraq from i because president the wrong back has returned home 10 years after being expedited for war crimes. he was dr. acquitted by the international criminal court. the charges dates back to 2010 when he refused to concede defeat the presidential election. israel says if lauren says strikes on garza targeting how sites it says it was in response to incent, re balloons being floating, israel 3rd day is putting pressure on a sci fi with us, which came into effect almost a month ago. that the no let up to the violence in mere non videos posted on social

the in november 2020, i'll just, you know, arabic contacted the top is really cybersecurity official to find out more about data and cyber cooperation between israel and the u. e. the official refused to speak on camera, but said he had just returned from an official business trip to the us be designed to promote high profile official coordination between the 2 countries. according to lead to a port is really moratti's cyber cooperation developed significantly around this time. the arrangement seemed to be that full security coordination between the 2 countries allowed and exchange of information. while the u. e invested millions of us dollars in the israeli spyware. the benefits, what allegedly governed by rules set by the israeli intelligence services of carlo

j yob. blair. i see milly, she mean the gleam of the lot so she adore, does it. as i call in a sub a, she gave me the national hon. him double, couldn't zoe, me a lever hooley shove she is she simply sh me any money? she will not be loot a gold tale now said the medical c mine is a gum. let them at your solution. the logo, they only some bullshit. mission el camino log eoc, a lava so deep, or line me a lot. all in the hallway or limits, you know the hill ball gum. she ish hoshal sh. she said position was and they did not like a law cove. l a r e z. my names yolanda yolanda and i got a fish wish and they gave me she was usually on the me by off a little bit of dark matters and emma rattie

company that is seen as the main player in the u. e. cybersecurity market. dark matter. it's a very interesting case that the company, based in the united arab emirates, and they do sort of both defense as well as often there was this great reporting from both foreign policy as well as reuters, which looked into their offensive operations, meaning hacking. so what, what these reports were able to establish is that there was this group of n, s, a former, an essay and former cia intelligence officials from the united states that went to go work for the u. e. government, under the auspices of this company, dark matter and just to fall into that and be clear, dark matter was not employing former and say officials to spy on americans because that would obviously be a federal crime in the united states. we don't do that then it's, it's not within our mission and i would like sort of distress this point is to

enable the societies and economies to sort of pursue the agenda of smart and safe digital. so the way it would be country to our mission, and you can categorically say that that doesn't spy on you. a citizens. we don't do that. that's not within our capabilities. so kathy corey, we don't do this work. lion, they're lying. it's the only thing that had no massive data for them. i designed these mathematical programs. we had no upper limit on the capacity to handle data. not there was no, no problem at trillions, quadrillion of data, doesn't matter. we had no mathematical limit that i could see the american investigative website, the intercept published a report and it took 2016. based on the experiences i'm going to tell you in cybersecurity, research approached by dark matter. the report claimed that dark matter had discussed plans to hack any device it wanted to in the u. e. at the press of

a button. the report also cited a number of dark matter. employees who were former u. s. s a and intelligence officials. the employees said they were asked to carry out offensive operations under the banner of protecting u. e. z. national security. dark matter dismissed. the researches allegations saying it preferred quote, talking reality. not fantasy dammit on this home, that the author of the report, gen mclaughlin, who has investigated the work of dog matter extensively around 2015 the u. a. b. and it's company essentially linked pretty closely to its own defense defense services. dark matter. wanted to get some of those employees into their own roof so they could do a lot more things more freely because some of those u. s. contractors were restricted by us laws. they were drawn by massive salaries. promises of staying in beautiful places, pool villas,

yachts even some time. so once some of these employees arrived in, in dark matter, they were sort of ask questions about how to use those skills in an offensive manner. in order to do that, they would also have to have their see, the corner it says would be held by, by that contractor in a skip. but the approval for those the clarence would come from an essay that was against the eye if it was human and so on, so that agencies would approve it. so that implies that everything that they're doing with his contractors is approved. i think cybersecurity firm, in the regent, dark matter, we're covering really the whole spectrum of security. we've also grabbed a lot of people all around the world. moto, very moderate alicia came from, had dark matter and don't know where i am in the center. i know who and how the sen module that supply the b b,

then to be the one to senior monitor. within the last few years i returned to i would be for a defense conference and i got the chance to speak to some of my sources and others that i've met since. and they told me that all the negative attention on dark matter from my reporting and subsequent reporting from writers and others really drew a lot of attention that the royal family was not interested in. and as a result of that, members of the royal family, extremely high ranking officials sort of went to dark matter and said, you need to change the names of this, remove it, get it out of here. be a lot more discrete. i think from my perspective, ok, having a contractor us contract or working for a foreign government means they are now an agent that, that foreign government not, not a us agents. and having them come from a place like in a say where they're dealing with classified activities and then going over and

assisting in classify that similar classified activities in another country. means there's foreign spies. now they're not us citizens. in the couple months after i felt publish my 1st story in between publishing my 2nd at foreign policy magazine, i was contacted by sort of mysterious source to offer documents that i was never able to verify and who had been telling me that within the company they had already been debating whether or not to hack me, but i mean years later the intercept, after i had left confirmed that the intercept was the target of the government. according to a number of reports, dog matter, try to hack the intercept website. a report published by the intercept in june 2019 said that dog might have brought x national security agency hackers and other us intelligence and military veterans to compromise the computers of political dissidence at home and abroad, including american citizens. according

to the intercept, dog matter headquarters is located in this building in abu dhabi. they had a problem analyzing data on us citizens from another country as a us citizen. see. so that's, that is illegal, i'm sure, under title 18 laws governing, you know, classified material and classified activities. later on, citizen lab demonstrated that dog matter was the main operator of the israeli pegasus spyware. in the us, besides it's american staffers, dark matter, also employed x is really officers in branches in the u. e. cypress, and singapore. the company is reported to have paid millions of dollars for their services. both i'll just hear arabic and odyssey are english, contacted dark matter and offered them the opportunity to respond to all the

allegations made in the film. they declined to comment to either request. i say more, the michelle violent me slay. because for the total thumb, michelle, me them, or must gold gold, no condition level that love the money, the tv on the a multi 6 image the machine, but all nozzle. so you're selecting vs and stuff vs me. style am bowman, los sham shoe. but all nozzle negative, negative, negative always be my poor little shallow zeal, my torture. really good politician mark of on the team. but all, we certainly do see that israel as a hub if not in the world, and certainly in the region for this sort of cyber technology. and i think one of the things that we're going to see more and more countries like the u. e that have these big ambitions in cyberspace are going to try and replicate that sort of

talent pipeline in their countries. it's very scary, especially when the targets are journalists, civil society, dissidence, these sorts of people being spied on by foreign governments or their own government . in some cases, it's really shocking, and i think it's an abuse of the spyware. the reason that the governments are interested in spying on them is for intelligence purposes, to figure out what they're up to, what they might do next. and if they can figure out what someone's doing, what they're about to do, then they can put a little bit of pressure on people and try and influence and shape the way that events unfold. ah, i'll just be contacted. many alleged victims of these spyware hacks. they declined to appear in film for fear of their and their families, safety mcmahon. and nemo boy and you know, running greedy is a london based journalist working with a lot of the tv. her phone was hacked by pegasus spyware. between october 29 and

july 2020 they had been doing a lot of the she knew how about it in the mama stood ahead. she was, who need be once it's in love with them a bit, it was on the mama musson and one of my heavy what on the engine of the bucket fall on me and walk off to talking with them. what about the been says, you know, i'm really the torn ligaments and can exit said sealed up in the home button in the bottom is just as biggest truce jani. my family to duck him a food min mclean. what's what we've been, it's been sort of in, in a half a year, but this is a lot of spanish if you look in oxford. oh and it says manage, i'm sure. listen, he may,

if i'm shocked among other com the car bigger than the shuttle. but why not? because then a fearful in one of the home model, there's lots of journalists that get targeted, hacked, but for fewer of them are willing to come forward and tell their stories. so i think that, you know, if you were to look at some of the top media organizations in the world, maybe you'd find other other instances of people getting hacked or targeted. you know, we had a case of course, back in 2018, where the bay route bureau chief of the new york times been hubbard received a text message linked to pegasus spyware on his phone. my how did the on the yet a little for 150. so the question is, with this advanced technology, how can people ensure their devices a safe and wish pegasus for? for example, it would have been very hard to find out that your phone had been hacked. the best thing you can do is keep your phone up to date. if you have an always install the

updates when your phone says it's time to update. if you get a text message with the link that you're not expecting, don't click on that link. if you get an email with a link or a file that you're expecting, don't click on that link. don't open that file. if you do have something very sensitive to talk about, the best thing to do is to leave your phone at home and go on a walk. oh, fun have sees on them. and they said no, they will get patched by apple, an android and so on. but there are going to be fun abilities on those devices that are unknown yet. and therefore any device is will have a weakness. so it can be exploited don't, i'm sure there are organizations away the world looking for those funds to exploit in the future. and no doubt it won't happen again, is the case of when electronic frontier foundation

e f. f is us based organization whose goal is to technically and legally defend journalists and civil society activists who face cyber crimes committed by governance e. f. f has documented a rise in the number of pegasus associated cyber crimes against journalists and activists. working on sensitive cases. we fight against a government, a view of surveillance and uses that are inconsistent with human rights. and that was using mexico. the thought of it like coming say, which is a very famous in the, in the country. and we have seen also the use of sale, pay gases in mexico targeting activities who were fighting corruption and who are fighting a campaign against corporations for the use of of shook our so we have seen these also against many other job monies who are doing get their

work in my work, we have studied similar mobile phone against journalists in conflicts and human rights defenders and opposition moses and conduct and civilians in lebanon, and on the border of living in syria being spied upon by their various governments in israel, loya, my husband represents a number of phone hacking victims who have decided to file lawsuits against the israeli. and s a group probably on a fair amount of money at the biggest source. yet him and i'm probably only mom, i'm but he got pro corporal in fenway, her father lee. how can you hear where he in and either they and they had a dad, dad who had a and

a couple little and we'll get caught in february of the year. wow. the he'll heavy or should a kia, a shut academy leo colonial camera and the lady come in this lee and whoever is vicky and with diet, i'm and i can only dial s s a little too heavy. shotuko who are not coming from us . if we be head of a way to live, where they can be at the opposite. and that is, that we, a handle mostly almost wanted to know by the legal liability towards the victims of hacking, lies with the manufacturer on the purchaser of the spyware justice. these companies are saying that they only sell these to government and that they only sell it to investigate federal re organized crime. but

as they don't sell it to government who don't respect human rights, but that's the true, you know. and that in go systems it's, we are, i learned national law is inconsistent, in our opinion. also with a cost to ship only need a concert. we have review the the law. i personally know it doesn't solve events. the tell a bill, tell us the text interest only yields to the availability of such intelligence. capability name can see of a little court. i just emer letty. it's a legitimate vehicle, commercial thought book in san juan for half a year. was that of on them on the scene? well at the sub to what all that and then look, i have got down the living. oh my home, a bad man. you're going on and the who know a little talk about it in 2020 and is really caused by the media from publishing

any details about these cases. and the interest of protecting israel's national security. odyssey or arabic, contacted the n. s a group requesting an interview with senior management to give them the right to reply to allegations made against the company. in this film, the company sent a short reply, declining the interview request. how's your english contact a d n a so group to give them the right to reply to allegations made against the company. in this film, they did not respond. will come into play lead, shut to get in. this all is leah hannibal, however, with the output, with all feel, the connie or the biggest was a don't f e l l i'm doing it is a most buck woman also call a daughter. she's me because i will not develop formulas live for the daily cool fall with comb with to be heavy shut again. my a. p l. allen. house a lot, almost all the called what was forgot formally. so earlier,

we're going to develop amnesty international, also to legal action against pegasus. the accused party this time was the israeli defense ministry itself being the official body that approves and authorizes the selling of spyware. we are disappointed. we will have to see what the court decides with the ruling on the case itself. now we hope that the court will decide the way it should and revoke, and those security like this and is really court dismissed the case. amnesty international said, quote, a mountain of evidence was ignored and called the court rubber stunt to the defense ministries, impunity to human rights violations. my reaction to the court's decision was obviously disappointment. it was a, it was a very strong judgement that didn't take into consideration the evidence that we

put forward, or the legal arguments that we felt were important. and, well, we are disappointed in the judgement. we still think it was a very important case. in the growing evidence of shows, misuse of technology or the misuse of n as those technologies by our clients. and we hope that by bringing this case and supporting this case, we're bringing to attention the very serious issues and potential human rights impacts for technologies like and as those pegasus and others that are being used with impunity around the world by repressive governments and governments who have a terrible human rights record, a c clean late let's be all to negative. bought bagels bought in his own burglar, now. should only go few miss williams from school to them on him. by no means more amnesty. i will tell alia sick we got on the spot, they slid him key, but there, on the spot, they saw him. w, you'll move all below for me calling runny ashley's on the lava. foothill been more

responded to the old gala, or the mod medium lose the bishop. she's a michelle, that thing to be the whole low michelin do not belong to me, but not least of a y in yon. how does your english contacted the governance, israel kingdom of saudi arabia and the united out of emmett and offered them the opportunity to respond to all the allegations made in the film. they did not respond. i actually would also like to know a little bit more about what happened in the rejection. i think there's a few different things at play here. one is that it's very difficult to know the relationship between the ministry of defense and, and i, so there seems to be a lot of crossover at high level staff. the ministry of defense in israel is the, is the ministry that approves all exports. and basically, our case was saying either the ministry of defense is not giving export licenses in

line with international human rights standards. or they are giving exports in line with international human rights standards. but they have, they have a company in their jurisdiction who is acting outside of the legal export license compton. because we leon, for thomas on this are and others whose phones have been hacked. the question is, what recourse if any, do they have? i'm ready to start hardy. this sort of evidence does show that your phone was hacked and shows that there was a connection to n s o group. if you wanted to bring a legal action, i will say that there are other targets that have been engaged in legal process in israel, in cyprus, and most recently in the u. k. of a b l call arguing la la la la, in this elaine this over to the national ames is totally collegial and goes loose on the bio today. because all of them last week,
