in or a country or the government to to be suspicious of. and right now, i think in se asia, the region to withdraw lloyd austin will be visiting by tomorrow. first op singapore is to remind all partners here in the region that day should really be more watchful or not take, you know, chinese support that's coming into the region of capital in terms of chinese businesses coming into the region for granted that the be the sort of get an agenda behind that and everyone should be more vigilant at this point in time. it's all up to, you know, both aging and washington and officials on both sides of the fence to not to be you know, sort of distracted from what's really important, what's really common between all parties and they get caught up in these issues about, that's all trying to see and also of course, by espionage and all and, and the like, i mean these things are clearly important. but i think we also need to look at the more the,

at the areas of which more that cooperation can be forged right now. and come to these hotspots, i think that's not where i think you'll find the food. the french president has demanded an explanation from his room after an investigation revealed at spyware, was found on his own amenable macaroni, sewn along with other french government officials, as reportedly hacked, using pegasus spyware, developed by the israel based and a. so group, 10 governments, including the united arab emirates, are lead to a volt surveillance device to truck activists, journalists, lawyers, and politicians are the dilemma has more from west jerusalem. my new i like whole would have us enough fairly bennett to make sure that there's an investigation that would be happening. that certainly is well, should look a bit more closely into licensing. at the moment the licensee for any of these sort of cyber weapon companies are given by the ministry of the fence

and all any contract that the company like. and so there are several others that are based here in israel. they do exactly the same thing. well, any of those lies is, or any of the deals they gave has to be agreed upon by the ministry of defense. now it seems that the really government is going to look into that a bit more closely, a committee from the, unless it is in the words to see out, to review really all the license, how the licensing process goes on and to review, really the scope of these companies, whether they should be able to sell that kind of software to any country in the world or not. saudi arabia says it's intercepted and destroyed drones, launched by evans, who the rebels towards the kingdom south. the saudi coalition has shut down dozens of trains in recent weeks. german has been in gulf by a civil war since 2014 saudi arabia supports the exalt government and the war has killed more than
