9:00 pm
how to go. hm. it is stunning by for us in care of and order a brush. johnson also saying that the invasion of russian invasion would be a political disaster, humanitarian disaster, and flies totally in the face of what russia is saying that it is acting in ukrainian interests. that yes, what boys johnson not saying anything new there. mean, he started his press conference by saying that he came to ukraine to face a grim reality, and that grim reality being the biggest show of hostility towards ukraine in our lifetime. ah, now, boys johnson went on saying that you gave will continue to support the ukraine. ah, because this is not only about russia and ukraine, but it's also about the bigger picture in europe about this, the future security architecture of europe. that's how he described it. but it's
9:01 pm
clear that when you listen to president, voted volley of the media zelinski rather than that, the question of what are vladimir is boot is in stench and is something they couldn't really onset. oh, zelinski was saying that, you know, they have seen before at their border does large number of russian tubes last i would being didn't 2021. and that right rush at the time said that they will be pulled out and they were and they were returned. so i think this is something that behind closed doors, you would find that you men discussing the different scenarios possible a while trying to avoid an explanation issuing those warning still was russia, but certainly brit, president zalinski wanting a more tone down rhetoric. he said it today, he said it 2 days ago and keeps repeating it for the past week. simply because of the impact. all of this is having on this country is destabilizing the country.
9:02 pm
it's making the economy more fragile. and he says that would be really a disaster for ukraine. should it have to at some point, face a military escalation, valencia, for his ponce, that's it at the moment having a strong and capable army, but which they will increase by 100000 troops. yes that he announced this morning that actually parliament possible to increase the military by a 100000 people over the last over the next 3 years rather. and zalinski to day do just now in the press conference was saying, we need to have our own army. we need to be strong by and stand on our 2 feet. this is the only way we will get the country out of this crisis. and this is the only way we can keep any kind of threats at bay. this is something that will actually bode very well with the ukranian people. they were complains back in 2014 that this
9:03 pm
army wasn't ready. and that's why it was taken by surprise. that's why and next in crimea was so easy. but now you have people who tell you that the army is much better trained, much better equipped, actually bar. as johnson was saying, this, britain alone has trained more than 22000 ukranian soldiers. and it had poured more than 2200000 pounds. and that's about $2500000.00 in the military aid. so all of that is happening at the moment is arming being boost up more personnel being added to it. something that ukrainians will appreciate very much. and i wouldn't be surprised if you find a lot of young men and women actually trying to get recruited or how to. thanks for that. uh huh. uh huh. in a key of well, russia's president says he hopes continuing talks and ukraine will avoid what he
9:04 pm
calls negative scenarios, including wall drive them, improve and also warn that the us and its allies have ignored the criminal main security demands. joining the diplomatic drive and using tensions who jeanette talks with hungry is that prime minister victor or been in moscow? bring it all it. but i'm going to put you in the putting that means that we are analyzing the response from the u. s. and i have already said that our concerns have not been addressed. we have not seen any guarantees that nato will move, its presence in our country also has a right to choose its own security. we cannot allow one country to increase the security at the expense of another country. let's speak to dosage a barrier correspondent his life was in most also this meeting with victor or band . what was the purpose of that? do you think and what more was it? well, according to the hungarian prime minister, it was to show that there is a peaceful way forward and that dialogue is really the only way through this crisis
9:05 pm
son's death. this was the 1st time of course that we heard from russian president vladimir putin who had very specific responses to what we've been hearing and actually guessing over the past few weeks about specific russian demands. am where things stand at the moment. now, there are russian president said that the 3 cheat demands at rushes, making from nato and the united states. about security guarantees are the following . the 1st nato does not expand any further and 2 new, 2000 and deploy weapons systems near russia's border as well as nieto returns to 1997 membership levels. that's when there was 16 countries in the alliance, and now there are 30. and he said that that when the russian signed the treaty with nato in 1997, there was never any mention of an open door policy, which we keep hearing about from the american. say the russians can't dictate who can and cannot join the have lottery put and was very as specific when he said that is not what we signed up for. that is very much not what we expect to have nato
9:06 pm
troops alongside our border. he said that these 3 main concerns were completely disregarded by the americans in their counter response to what we've been asking from our security guarantees from nato. he said that even though there is really no reason for any one to suggest that we want to invade ukraine, there is really that he doesn't see a solution to the current level of a crisis that we find ourselves. and he said it's very difficult to see what the solution is, but he also stressed that diplomacy must continue on the russians are actually going to keep talking about the security guarantees that they're asking for. so there were some glimmer of hope, but it's very difficult to see when a, where the positions would change because the americans have said they're not going to move on their position. nato has said, this is definitely not going to happen on their part and out. the russian president walton bentley makes the final decisions here. has said very much the same thing. eric put and also said that, imagine if a ukraine becomes a member of nato and that they want crimea back, what would we end up being in
9:07 pm
a situation where we would find a fight nato, it over crimea? this is something that is not possible to think about at the moment. so it was very much laying out the situation from the russian perspective. and he's still hasn't officially responded to the americans counter proposal that he got last thursday. he said that it's being studied by inter agencies here and then he will decide how to move forward. but having said that, he did say that diplomacy must continue and that russia will continue speaking to world leaders. and he also specifically invited french president emmanuel micron to visit moscow soon. so they can continue with their discussions. they've spoken twice now on the phone over the past week. and it seems that let me prudent is very much open to the idea for the french president to come to moscow, where they can discuss further how to possibly move through this crisis. are those only with every now thanks very much. had those jibari bay in moscow me while the your search, your state has held a franco, we rushes foreign minister said your lover of warning him and incursion into crime
9:08 pm
will be met with a severe consequences. let's bring to our white house correspondent kimberly hallett, who's in washington, d. c. o. part of this, a flurry of diplomacy we've been seeing today, and kimberly, what do we know about what was said? well, what we know is that the united states is essentially doubled down on a position that it laid out on monday. when you, as president joe biden said that should russia invade ukraine, the united states, along with its partners, its nato alliance would inflict swift and severe consequences. this is something that the united states has been saying repeatedly for some time. and we know that those consequences would be not only military in nature, but also would be financial in nature in terms of financial consequences in the form of sanctions that would be punishing and would target rushes. not only are artificial intelligence sectors, but also aerospace sectors. but you have to ask yourself,
9:09 pm
why is this message be repeated yet again, by the secretary of state. so soon after that has a lot to do with these proposals, encounter proposals and the confusion around them that seem to be occurring on monday as doors. it was mentioning russia put forward its security, put proposals to the united states. the united states gave its counter proposal, and then there seemed to be this belief at the state department that in fact russia had responded to the united states. it turns out where she says, no, no, no, we're still working on that. and so on the heels of that confusion, it seems that the bible administration felt it necessary to say, look at this is where we are in case there was any ambiguity. if you invade, there will be consequences. and so that is the position that was laid out. it was again reminded that there is a call for de escalation, for withdrawal of russian troops from their positions along ukraine's border,
9:10 pm
and also reentering once again the position of the west that they believe in the sovereignty of ukraine and the right to choose its own foreign policy and determined that and so these are not new positions, but it seems that the united states felt it was important to communicate this to survey lever off through the u. s. secretary of state. what again, in light of some of the confusion that had occurred just 24 hours earlier, i kimberly thinks about take him to hug the in washington d. c. i will come back to ukraine and later in the program, but 1st that heavy gunfire and explosions and guinea bizarre have been described as an attempt to qu by the west african regional organization. echo us there is no clue who was shooting as the cabinet meeting was held with the president and prime minister in the capitol beside. but let's speak to nicholas hackers. falling developments from docker in senegal joins us on skype. and nick, we've 1st got wind of this walk 2 or 3 hours ago, details was scanned,
9:11 pm
then any more information coming in. so the precarious call there's less of a gun to fire in the capitol. so am i witness? have been see soldiers going towards the television, the national television broadcaster, the national television channel, where i live, is he, he installations key buildings in the capital, whether it be the presidential hell is the government policy in the interior ministry and so, so those elements are in the hands of the military, the question now is, are the military acting under the order of elected president and bolo, or is this a qu, that's unclear, u, west african bonnie echo last season and attempting, and had called on soldiers to return to their barracks neg, how might we frame this in the context of what's been happening regionally? well, last week there was a current breaking up also, just in september,
9:12 pm
a coo and get a b n later in the earlier in the year and model to cooper. this is a region where there's been a setback in democracy. you know, it's like clear what's happening in the south, but there is a long history of mistrust between an elected officials and the soldiers and the army. there are, there are underlying. 3 grievances that are linked to the multi ethnic nature of going to be south. so the leader of the, our, with our, with chief is a big enough and done with and was in spain. others been rumors that he died. he's at the bottom top and there are some think grievances there about trying to replace it with someone from the same ethnic group. so those are some of the underlying issues. then there's the issue about and the government. and so there was a dispute between the president and the prime minister, luna gomez, i'm young about a cabinet rashaw reshuffle with key minister losing the post. the issue here at
9:13 pm
hard is, is, although going to be, so is one of the poorest country in the world is considered according to the state department as a norco state, a place where latin american drug traffickers use video at the trafficking place to, to transport drugs like, ok in towards europe and the united kingdom. many soldiers are our senior officials in the army have been accused of being involved in this elicit trade. in fact, a couple of years ago. and they be cheap, was arrested by the americans involved in this trade. so there might be these types of grievances that might be underlying what we're seeing here, but make no mistake because there has been successful coo in the region. this is not a to some soldiers that they can just take over power. and this is something that is with a great fear, endanger for the west african body o'clock that will lead tomorrow regardless,
9:14 pm
president a democracy there seems to be a lack of trust because we did democratic institutions and the military and the people neg, nicaragua, reporting home, the situation committees. huh. thank you very much. well, it turned out from manuel a questioning who's a director of research at because he none international peacekeeping training center. and he says democracy in guinea pizelle was already fragile. but there all those who are taking advantage of rising discontent something has shifted dramatically. why is that in the last 10 years or so? says democracy was re established probably 15 years. you know, the, the, the benefits of democracy haven't trickled down. you know, corruption is so, and demi and to air on employment is probably a massive quality. ok. because she dubious and you know, there's this huge,
9:15 pm
you board, you which countries populations in the last decade or 2 have doubled or at least increased dramatically. so we have a huge you for population on educated or unemployed unemployable, but with access to decay through more than falls international news. and how at the used in other parts of the world are living. that is contributing to building up to frustration, particularly where the, how a political leadership that, that's most speak language and be in a way that reflects the aspirations and their hopes. and it is those frustration is that i would argue that be exploited by bills and, and increasingly, and demanding to add processes that gave us so much work about which is about i probably more head on the news are including amazon, nasa uses israel of apartheid saying is maintained a system of oppression,
9:16 pm
and domination of palestinians for decades under surveillance and el salvador, how government spyware packed into journalists, phones. and one of the great is nfl quarterbacks will time has decided to call time his career sorrow story coming up in school. so now the world health organization says it's still too early to declare victory against covered 90. it is urging countries to make their own decisions to ease restrictions and not just follow others and masses. pfizer by and tech is expected to ask you as regulators for permission to offer its vaccine to children as young as 6 months old, austria has implemented it's mandates re vaccine law for all adults. and that means everyone who's not medically exempt needs to be vaccinated or face fines of up to $4000.00. and denmark has become the 1st
9:17 pm
e u. country to lift nearly all its pandemic restrictions. and that's despite record numbers of cases was that russian has more from a vaccination santana in austria's capital of vienna. it's a very controversial policy and also quite far reaching. so the government has decided to this soft landing, so it will only take effect this mandatory effect nation by the end of the week, the upper house to approve it. and then the people will have time to get their vaccinations until half of march, because that from step 5 will be handed out up to 600, but even up to a few 1000 euros, if they're not vaccinated, lawyer already said there will be lots of lawsuits and court cases against this f controversial policy because people are saying come here in the, in the ref, around 20 percent still refuses to be vaccinated. they say are individual rights and they are rights to control the own bodies rights to self determination be
9:18 pm
inflated. so some extra say, maybe the policy is going to be counter productive. people are fusing to be vaccinated, are very determined, and you might even push them further away. but the government says it's the only way out of the pandemic. and individual rights have to be sacrificed for the greater good latrina from jeffrey lazarus, who's the head of the health systems research group of the buffalo institute for global health. he says the eating of all restrictions at once makes little sense. i think it's a bad move to left all restrictions. i understand the population is tired and many are thrilled that all restrictions are being removed, but it gives a false sense of security. i think that could have been a more gradual reduction in, in lifting. i think denmark, in that sense to setting a bad president, it's basically politics over public health. they could have kept face masks on, at least in public transportation. and i don't think many people would be
9:19 pm
complaining about that. i do think it's a lot about the politics and being, being able to say, you know, we were the 1st to do this. we were, and we were the government in power, but i think it's sending the wrong message to that population. so cases are higher than ever, and hospitalizations actually going up. the numbers in the intensive care units is, is not going up. so that's a good sign. but i mean, you're hospitalizations are going up, which is quite worrisome when you look at the unvaccinated. i'm so that's the population that, that's ending up largely in, in hospitals. i think it's one about trying to get people to get vaccinated, but it's also, they're not everyone is, is boosted and even people who are vaccinated can get infected and some of them can go on to have serious consequences. so i do believe that there were gradual reduction of restrictions would make good sense in denmark, but to lift it all in one go doesn't really make good public health sense. go to bar to punk honda is a senior clinic electra at the university of extra medical school. and he explains
9:20 pm
why there's a drive to vaccinate younger people. now that we have got ample vaccine supplies, it is perfectly feasible to immunize across all the age groups. before we had ample vaccine supplies, it was imperative that we immunized the wonderful people, the people, the clinical doctors and nurses, and health care workers, and other essential workers. but now that there is enough global supply, it is perfectly okay to give vaccines to the younger age group, as well as immunize in other parts of the world. richer nations must really improve their games because of they've already gone on to their 3rd vaccines. and in some places for vaccines, and they will not get better and they will not be any more protected unless they also protect the rest of the world and suppress infections in other parts of the world like africa. otherwise, variance of concern will keep on arising. i used to talk to my patients,
9:21 pm
i used to explain to them are the issues, address all their concerns and fears. sure to them that on balance the vaccine is safe for any protects them. and then my patients invariably made a voluntary decision to be immunized. so i think public health government health needs to up their game and educate, inform, and allay people's fears about the vaccines and take them with them. i miss the international is the latest human rights group to describe israel as an apartheid state because it's treatment of palestinians. israel is denouncing amnesty is reported full spots and anti symmetric make and social discrimination that amounts to oppression and domination of the palestinians in the areas it controls. in short, it says a system of apartheid. we are here today to call on the international community to take resolute action against the crime of humanity being
9:22 pm
perpetrated in order to maintain the system of up outside. the throughput highlights, last year's tensions ever threatened displacements of palestinians from their homes and the shake draw neighborhood of occupied east jerusalem, and the military and coming to violence that followed. it sets out a catalogue of instances and techniques whereby palestinians have been displaced from land in israel, and in the occupied territories. a settler has confiscated thousands of hector's while palestinian shepherds can't grades their sheep. we want protection for our herders from the settlers, but it goes much further back in israel's history, analyzing basic laws and long term policies. it says designed to guarantee a jewish majority. and jewish control of israel's government says that is an attempt to paint israel itself as an inherently racist endeavor. in other words, it's an example of anti semitism. instead of seeking the truth and this the echoes, the same lies shows by terrorist organizations. 5 minutes of serious
9:23 pm
examination would be enough to know that the so called facts in the report published by amnesty this week, delusional and disconnected from reality. i'm just the calls that a diversion will not questioning the fact that there is an intent or a desire to create a jewish state. what we are saying is that a jewish state must respect and protect of all people on the territory. this is the 3rd report within the last year, accusing israel of a party. after is ready rights group at selim and human rights watch reached similar conclusions. honestly says the events here in shakes your in 2021. a further evidence of the conclusions that it was making in its report and evidence of the need for such work to be done. it also says that one of the 1st things that israel can do to start on picking what it calls an a party system is to protect and restore palestinian homes such as these. amnesty also wants the findings from this
9:24 pm
report used in investigations currently being undertaken in the international criminal court. and united nations. harris was at algeria occupied east jerusalem. dozens of journalists knights of his in el salvador, se military grade spyware. technology has been used to hack their phones, john, home and reports not from the capital san salvador government critic say it's the president latest tactic to silence opposition. julio everett, these phones have been acting strangely. she re, lives the moment she realized for sure that it was bugged. well, i was writing and i remember that i got the 1st email in but that mom and we were confirmed that they got it was targeting pegasus. the spine software only sold to governments with julio was one of $22.00 staff. is that the new site l photo, who had the phones repeatedly infected, according to the university of toronto citizen lab for she says, many of the tax came as
9:25 pm
a photo published expos. a's on the government of el salvador, headed by president naive. bu kelly will, can they pull out of it during an attack? everything they can see, for example, what the message that you are typing, or they can get access to your context here. ah, images your videos. it's like to have enough unlocked cellphone in your hand. it's the, it's the jelly cell father went the only ones. other media outlets and civil rights figures would bug to says, citizen lab including transparency, lawyer, halsy maldonado. i think this is also a sign of the times a sign of this government. this is a government which is intolerant to critics, is intolerant to public scrutiny, is in fuller and through accountability. and while there's still no, no hard evidence that the, the spine came from the government. everything seems to point to the doorsteps of a similar in government. it which strongly denies the fund bugging. but there have
9:26 pm
been worrying signs that the president doesn't have democracy, the top of his agenda. se critics starting from 2020 when he march soldiers into congress. a shock for a country which only escaped civil war 30 years ago. the president, in turn, is accused independent media outlets like hell. photo of lying and attacking his government. 2020, he announced the outlet was under investigation for money laundering. and el salvador, many people were on his side, his approval ratings are in the eighty's. he, i see the in the working class body of sundries 3 color vasquez puts out that they still t is and tells us why. thing me though my i like it helped more than the other government it for them it was only in the campaign only then they remembered our neighborhood like that with him. no, he hasn't forgotten us. he always remembers asked the poorest neighborhoods less dangerous. under bouquet. has been cash to help them through the pandemic,
9:27 pm
even laptops for her boys to be able to keep studying. she dismisses the meteor exposes as fake news and montages, like many others. she believes the president just walking around this neighbourhood san luis 3. you understand why president bush kelly is so overwhelmingly popular with the majority of salvadorans, his given the money has given them food has even given them computers for their children during the pandemic. and what all that means to them is that he, someone that is concerned about them, the poor salvadorans in a way. the other presidents haven't been who kelly promise is these people he will take care of them. would he do the same for the countries? journalists, lawyers, activists, all those were critical of him in el salvador. that's the burning question. john homan, ow does it? so hey, there are now to 0 whistle blow accuse. this is ready, spyware, firm and offering bags of cash exchange for access to mobile networks.
9:28 pm
from the cap to the leaf, how all galleries in paris to paying tribute to a french fashion and japan then saudi arabia's hopes of automatic world. so i will be here with that story in a hey there, thanks for joining in. welcome to your world's weather report. for the middle east, we've got some high temperatures, a southerly push across the van, so gas high of 20 degrees. it's the opposite around the golf. we've got a wind blowing from the north, so that's press and down temperatures. madame at 1900 degrees. del hi. $22.00, so not so bad, but those winds will be whipping up to about 55 kilometers per hour. that's going
9:29 pm
to swirl around the sand in dust and impact. the visibility here, high temperature is also for southern boston karachi, a high of 30 degrees, a shield of snow, cutting across half gone. it's done and pretty quiet right across iran on wednesday . really, the bulk of the activity is around the g and c. so what, whether for western turkey, southern turkey, and also some gloomy and what conditions for is stumble with a high of 11 degrees for southern africa flooding, very likely across central eastern portions of namibia through the northern cape western cape and eastern cape. in some of these storms could be severe. as we head toward the weekend, we have an incoming tropical storm looking to make landfall along the east coast of madagascar, and very likely to produce some more severe flooding in this area is still trying to recover from its last spout of flooding. ok, that's all for me. we'll see you soon take care. the
9:30 pm
for quite a few decades casa, has been dealing with political and economic turmoil. and its people struggle to access essential needs, like adequate quantities of potable water, a sufficient number of beds for pregnant mothers, and limited access to up to date information for students. and in huzzah. the ground water is not sufficient to meet the daily needs of all of its residents. this led to the development of the new water treatment facility and han eunice slowing down further pollution. the extension of as shift as medical facilities was accomplished to provide expectant mothers with a safe and reliable opportunity to get the care they needed. the kuwait library at the university college of science and technology is not only a repository of knowledge but an access point to the world beyond.
9:31 pm
lou ah, but again, you're watching out 0 our reminder of our top stories and heavy gunfire and explosions and give me bizarre, of being described as an attempted cood by the west african regional organization. it's not clear who was shooting it was a cabinet meeting, was held with the president and prime minister in the capital. bizarre rushes president says he has continued talked on ukraine, will avoid what he calls negative scenarios, including war. vladimir putin also want to you as soon as our lives have ignored the kremlin main security to mars. of britain's prime minister flutes, ukraine's capital keep to discuss the security packed force. johnston and president
9:32 pm
vladimir zalinski warned that any russian incursion would be a massive strategic mistake. they'd take the story all we can speak to summer romani who's an associate fellow and the role united services institute joins us live from oxford via skype and samuel. so we've seen this se flurry of diplomacy today really any further forward in settling this peacefully. do you think well, i think the diplomatic settlements, i basically had an impasse on this issue because of the expectations on both sides . the russians want nato to rule up membership to include ukraine in georgia and also to roll back nato's strategic military deployments. in all countries that had joined after 9 candy 7 including romanian bulgaria. the americans kadijah insist along with the british near pans that the russians are on the risk invading ukraine and the russians are same as not happening. so as long as there's that chasm, i just don't see diplomacy having any success. so if prudent doesn't get what he
9:33 pm
wants, what should the u. s. and europeans do, in order to enable him to back down and put his troops out? well, 1st of all, i think the americans in the europeans said, need, have a coordinated response, and that needs to be a coordinator as bonds and sanctions, packages against russian leads against the russian economy, especially of areas like energy where germany's pushing for exemptions and other countries are pushing for more expensive sanctions. there should be greater coherence in unity around the supply, a defensive weapons grain, and it should be more security assurance as to the ukrainians. that's why i think moves like the britain, poland ukraine, trilateral access is a positive step, but it's not enough if it's not complemented by other western countries, and talk about a coordinator response. do you think nato and the e u. c. ice williams? why do you think nato and the european union at the leadership level? so at the end, so some burg level, for example, they'd definitely see i'd, i on the needs each are russia and then each you contain not just the threat of
9:34 pm
russian military intervention, but also russian cyber attacks russian disable ization. but individual nato member states have different views. you really have the americans, the british denmark, romania, poland, coming out in the hawkish end of the spectrum. and then you see other nato members and italy, france, and germany carving at a mill round, which is more focused on diplomacy and others, the croatian hungry outright, saying that they're not going to either allow nato chip deployments or really participate it needed to transmission. so those divisions are quite problematic. it ultimately is, it's not simply putin's plan to create an uncertainty, an instability, or put his plan over here is probably not to invade you grant domestically. there isn't that kind of appetite for warlike, resigned 2014. in 2015 people are much more concerned about the economy. so she economic issues cove at 19 and the rush, the state media is emphasizing more. i mean, there knows that the last,
9:35 pm
not the domestic situation inside you rent. so i think that brushes and game is exactly the con instability in ukraine and also uses brinkley jap as a way of getting concessions on security guarantees from the west regarding nato. and it seems like an apo struggle, but it's something that he's gonna keep doing. it, when it's hard to say for the muscles point of view, you could argue, couldn't you that the right to say they feel threatened by a native positions? well, her ma, at that point of view, is that this important to keep in mind that rush has not necessarily encircled by nato. like the apt and claim. i mean, there's only need of forces directly on the border in estonia, lat, bn lithuania. there is that no ret, real risks that ukraine or georgia going to join nato. not least he has. these countries are fragmented. i mean, don, bats and crimea are not in the control of ukraine. georgia has got fragmentation and france and germany are not going to accept them. so i think that this sat concern about nato and circle back from the russian side in the partial concern. but it's a very exaggerated concern as aimed at what the app and he americanism at home.
9:36 pm
right. interesting get your perspective in some romani, appreciate that. thanks a lot, summer romani from the role united services to join us. thanks. thank you very much . a whistleblower says that executive, it's annotated group offered a u. s. based mobile security company bags of cash for access to cellphone uses around the world that's according to report by the washington post. the complaint was made to the u. s. department of justice and the allegation dates back to a 2017 meeting between the as rainy firm at a u. s. telecommunications company and so denies the claims. so let's take some, we can speak to connie rogers, who's a country contributor the tech policy press. also author of the book, a cyber activism and citizen journalism in egypt, she joins us live now from washington dc. so what do you, what do you make of this morning? you know, well, i think that this is just the latest in a series of revelations about the misuse and abuse of the sophisticated
9:37 pm
surveillance technology. which the and i so group claims as only used by governments to target a legitimate terrorist entities. but we know that that's not the case. so this type of have a backhand deal asking for unauthorized access to surveil and mobile phones is really disturbing, given the history of this company's facilitation of human rights abuses around the world. and i'm, what exactly does having unauthorized access to surveilled mobile phones enable companies like this? to do well, it allows them to trap people around the world, including and countries that might have better privacy protections than others and allows them to surveil, anyone who was targeted by this technology and while, and a so group claims that it only works with legitimate entities like law enforcement and ministries of defense. and what we've seen is that in many countries,
9:38 pm
