deployments against russian forces and the extent of american spying on its own allies. our diplomatic correspondent paul adams has more. a week after the leaks first appeared an arrest on the suburban streets of massachusetts. with the media already naming the suspect, fbi agents would be in. the young man at the centre of the most serious breach of national security in years giving himself up without a jack teixeira is 21, he works for the intelligence wing of the massachusetts air national guard popular today the arrested jack teixeira in connection to alleged unauthorised removal, retention, of national defence information. the day began with mounting speculation. this morning, the washington post newspaper described the young suspect, who has now been named as a man working on a military

base, showing classified information with a small circle of friends, as far back as 2020 during the lonely months of the lockdown. his online friends, amazingly included individuals in ukraine and russia. one of the group spoke anonymously to the group spoke anonymously to the debbie post. his friend was, he said, not a whistleblower and not working for a foreign government. firm; for a foreign government. any claims that — for a foreign government. any claims that he _ for a foreign government. any claims that he was _ for a foreign government. sin; claims that he was a russian operative or pro—russian is categorically false. he is not interested in helping any foreign agencies with their attack on the us or other countries. he was a young charismatic man who loved nature, god, who loved shooting guns and racing cars. the material _ guns and racing cars. the material the, _ guns and racing cars. the material the, especially l guns and racing cars. the material the, especially about the war in ukraine, is hugely embarrassing for america and potentially damaging for ukraine itself. but it seems the suspect�*s motives may not have been political at all. we

have been political at all. we have an have been political at all. - have an individual who is leaking material because they want to develop personal friendships online. in effect, they are using the release of top—secret us intelligence documents as leverage to gain friendships with individuals in online chat forums stop and i think that the insider threat remains the same as always, but the motivation is perhaps different from what we have seen before.— seen before. but there are similarities _ seen before. but there are similarities with _ seen before. but there are similarities with previous l similarities with previous lives, and 2010 chelsea manning gave three quarters of a million sensitive documents to wikileaks, was specialises in class —— publishing classified material. should chelsea manning orjack teixeira, both relativelyjunior, have had relatively junior, have had access relativelyjunior, have had access to so much secretive information? the pentagon says is looking into how information is looking into how information is distributed, but says the rules were clearly broken. this was a deliberate _ rules were clearly broken. ti 3 was a deliberate criminal act to violate those guidelines and rules. in the same way that if you lock your front door and somebody came in your house and

took something, you follow procedures and altidore bazzoni came in your house and took something, that is what we're talking about here. that something, that is what we're talking about here.— paul adams reporting on its own. 0 high speed two gordon lawson. a former naval officer assigned to the defence intelligence agency and ceo of cyber security firm conceal. he told me what he thinks some of the underlying issues behind the leaks are. this social media this culture of celebrity is the other problem with this. we have a young person who i think wasn't internalising the consequences of breaching this trust and posting these items, it's going to result probably in a life in prison at this point, right. i think the other problem is we need to make sure that we are teaching people that go into positions in the military and certainly in the united states, but anyway, we need to make sure we are teaching them that there are severe consequences when you have these security clearances and you cannot abuse this. that is obviously a lesson that we have to make

sure we are reviewing as people come into these positions of trust. forsure, come into these positions of trust. for sure, the united states must do a betterjob of letting people, of making sure there is zero truss access, that you do not get to the things if you do not need to know. sure there needs to be an improvement in the systems. [30 improvement in the systems. do ou see improvement in the systems. do you see security levels being stepped up in the future? what do you think the changes may be going forward to ensure information is secure? absolutely. i think they will be a revamp of these ts sci computer systems, absolutely make sure that only vetted personnel, there are obviously hard copies, have to be frank, when i saw the postings and the security markings that were on these hardcopies that have been posted to the media, it's so disconcerting because they are the highest levels of classification. things like locking down the printer in a secure facility, itjust has to happen. and i think with any large bureaucracy, like the united states has with our dod,

sometimes these things, there are lapses. and don't know this is a very strong wake up call that these lapses are unacceptable, is unacceptable when it involves a ellaz visual, and involves the situation as serious as we're all facing in ukraine, but the devontae will be changes and think strong accountability with the leadership of this particular group.— particular group. that was gordon lawson, _ particular group. that was gordon lawson, former. particular group. that was i gordon lawson, former naval officer assigned to the defence agency and our ceo of a sub— security farm —— cyber security. to other top stories now, and president biden has become the fourth us president to address a joint sitting of the irish parliament in dublin. it came on the third full day of his visit to northern ireland and the republic. he said the uk should be working more closely with dublin to maintain peace in the north, as sarah smith reports. applause president biden says repeatedly that he feels truly at home in ireland. to be invited to address the irish parliament,

well, this isjoe biden was my idea of a really good time. well, mom... laughter. you said it would happen. he talked of the history, values and ideals that ireland shares with america, and of how international cooperation can support peace in northern ireland. on that, he seems to think the uk could do more. i think that the united kingdom should be working closer with ireland in this endeavour. political violence must never again be allowed to take hold in this island. applause the assembled politicians did hear rishi sunak say it yesterday he is ready to work with his irish partner is to try to get devolved he is ready to work with his irish partners to try to get devolved government up and running again in northern ireland as soon as possible. president biden is not here in ireland to achieve any kind of diplomatic breakthrough or to try and solve the deadlock in northern ireland politics.

he largely seems to be here to enjoy himself. his team that have come with him are just desperately hoping that he can do that without putting his foot in it. visiting the irish president at dublin's white house, mr biden says he doesn't ever want to leave, and wrote a similar sentiment in the visitors' book. as the irish saying goes, your feet will bring you where your heart is. other american presidents have come here to highlight their irish ancestry. president biden�*s tree will grow alongside others planted by presidents obama, clinton, reagan, evenjohn f kennedy. what a wonderful reception he's getting. he visited dublin 60 years ago, and claimed that trip was the best four days of his life. with the irish taoiseach, leo varadkar, mr biden talked about what they could do together. if it wasn't for america and europe working together, i don't know what kind of world we live in, so we really do appreciate your leadership and your personal leadership. it feels so good to be able to have this emerging stronger

and stronger relationship between the united states and ireland. with full fanfare, president biden is welcomed as the guest of honour at a banquet dinner in dublin castle, where he talked about his proudly irish american mother, and how she believed he would one day make it here. sarah smith, bbc news, dublin. in other stories for you today. brazil's president lula da silva is currently in shanghai on an official visit aimed at bolstering relations. ties between the two countries deteriorated under lula's predecessor, jair bolsonaro. on this trip, he's expected to sign some 20 deals with china, and on friday he will meet with chinese president xijinping. oliver stuenkel is a political analyst and a professor at the school of international relations at fundacao getulio vargas. he started by telling me what he thinks lula wants from the trip. the key goal will be to bear investment promises. brazil is

investment promises. brazil is in a very difficult economic spot. the outlook is not particularly rosy. the good news on the economic front for the —— will be very important for lula and i expect he can announce quite a number of big investments and infrastructure cooperation and technology, trade facilitation and all that. it will be mostly about economics. the other issue that they may talk about is brazil's peace proposal in ukraine. there is a bit of uncertainty as to what extent we will know the details, but lula certainly keen to gamble in big political questions of our time as well. you know, post the pandemic isolation era we have seen beijing becoming more prominent on the international stage, having meetings with leaders around the world, like brazil, for instance, do you see brazil becoming closer to beating in terms of geopolitical alignments as a result of these sorts of overtures? absolutely.

so if ou sorts of overtures? absolutely. so if you compare _ sorts of overtures? absolutely. so if you compare lula's - sorts of overtures? absolutely. so if you compare lula's trip i so if you compare lula's trip to washington in february, which was quite low—key and short, this one is really huge. it takes hundreds of businessmen and women with them, lots of members, lots of politicians. and in a way, i think, the economic dependence of zeal on china will increase. already china buys about one third of brazil's exports and i think there is clearly a trend there that the relationship will deepen and lula believes we are moving towards a more as centric world and i think is also making clear that he would like to participate in the process of adapting international structures to that new reality, which explains why, for example, he insists on increasingly avoiding the use of the dollar when articulating trade between brazil and china. haifa when articulating trade between brazil and china.— brazil and china. how do you see the us —

brazil and china. how do you see the us reacting - brazil and china. how do you see the us reacting to - brazil and china. how do you see the us reacting to all. brazil and china. how do you see the us reacting to all of| see the us reacting to all of this, notjust the economics of it, as you talk about that, but also the politics of it was yellow well, the united states continues to be important, of course, in latin america. but clearly brazil also utilises its deepening ties to china as a way to better manage a profoundly asymmetric relationship with washington. think the trump administration the us has tried to reduce actively chinese influence on america and sought to convince other countries to stop using huawei, for example, the chinese telecommunications firm, that has not worked. there is some concern about the economic complementarity between latin america and china. i think will be quite difficult for the united through jane it's difficult for the united throuthane its dominance through jane its dominance which throuthane its dominance which has had in latin america the past century.— the past century. that was oliver stuenkel _ the past century. that was oliver stuenkel professor l the past century. that was l oliver stuenkel professor of relations with the fundacao

getulio vargas speaking to me a little earlier. north korea has described as latest weapons testis described as latest weapons test is a major step in its ability to carry out nuclear strikes. it has launched a missile it is never lodged before, the intercontinental ballistic missile is used solid fuel. such weapons are easy to store and transport than liquid fuel missiles. the launch drew international condemnation and join emergency alerts on hike either injapan where people briefly told to seek shelter. the missile came down in the sea. around the world and across the uk were watching bbc news. it's really weird that loads of people are going to see my aunt alongside all this other artwork. it's crazy, seeing it in a frame and having the little thing beside it with the name and my description that i wrote. fist

linked to cyber military, armies of vigilante hackers on both sides have caused chaos with websites taken down, private data stolen, and broadcasts hijacked. the bbc�*s cyber correspondent joe tidy travelled to ukraine to speak to those fighting in the cyberwar and found that the conflict has blurred the lines between cyber military and cyber criminal activity. from his flat in central ukraine, alexander devotes nearly all his spare time to hacking russia. he's one of the most prominent hackers in the it army of ukraine, a nearly 200,000 strong telegram group, which has been co—ordinating and celebrating disruptive cyber attacks for over a year. translation: one of the ones i remember as the chesney�*s attack. it's the one product authentication system for the whole of russia. we found the target, discovered how it operated, and came up with a way to stop it. manufacturers couldn't ship products. the economic losses, i think, were pretty high. greetings, citizens of russia.

large scale hacking by activists, or hacktivists, has been a major element of the cyber war that few predicted. hello. we are the kill net hacktivist community. this is the leader of the 100,000 strong pro—russian hacking group called kill net. he wouldn't agree to a direct interview, but sent us this video before breaking off communication. we devote 12 hours a day to killnet because the main thing is to monitor the situation in the world. then our actions come. i see no equal in the world to russian hackers. this clip shows a killnet attack on a nato website. at ukraine's cyber defence ho, they deal with cyber attacks from all angles, but say vigilante attacks are getting more sophisticated. they accused the russian military of working directly with vigilante groups. the russian authorities didn't reply to our e—mails, but kill milk denied his group is linked to any special services. however, it seems the lines

between vigilante hackers and military hackers have been blurred elsewhere, too. roman started as a volunteer hacker, carrying out disruptive criminal attacks as a civilian. now he's part of the cyber military. but even before he was recruited, he confirms his volunteer group did work with the ukrainian forces. we were kind of synchronising our operations and tried to help them. so they basically started to give us some targets and say what to do, when to do. mikaelo fedorov is minister for digital transformation. as the full scale war broke out, his department controversially set up the telegram group for the it army of ukraine. do you think the lines have been blurred between what is and was criminal hacking, and what is now accepted and encouraged by the government? translation: i am confident that we have the moral right to do everything to protect

the lives of our citizens. some predict that the severity of attacks will increase as russia struggles on the physical battlefield. thankfully, this cyber war has proven to be less destructive than the physical war, but the conflict is no doubt rewriting the rules of engagement online. joe tidy, bbc news in kyiv. fascinating report there. let's take a look at some of the stories in the headlines in the uk. tens of thousands of people have in protesting across france over reforms that will see the pension age increased from 62—64. on friday, the country's highest legal body will rule on whether the pension reforms comply with the constitution, but it's thought unlikely any major changes will be required. russia has reacted angrily to news that 15 members of staff from its embassy are being expelled from norway, accused of spying. the norwegian foreign ministry said the european security situation meant there was an increased intelligence risk from russia, and that the people expelled were acting against norway's interests.

the women's tennis association has said it will resume activities in china after suspending operations there over concern for the chinese player, peng shuai. she briefly disappeared from public view in 2021 after accusing a former political leader of forcing her into a sexual relationship. dame mary quant, who gave the world the miniskirt, and was at the forefront of the swinging �*60s fashion revolution, has died at the age of 93. she was at the forefront of the swinging 60s fashion revolution. twiggy said she had such an influence on young girls in the late 50s and early 60s. new york city has unveiled robotic dogs that it's rolling out to keep new yorkers safe. but this isn't the first time the city has tried to bring the robo—dogs into the fold, and last time, they were met with fierce backlash. the bbc�*s azadeh moshiri has more. meet spot, a digi dog that

the new york police department thinks could be a key asset when it comes to hostage situations and other situations where people's lives are in danger. now, that's partly because of stereo cameras that it's got in the front of the device, but also because of the fact that it can gather so much intelligence and handle intelligence gathering equipment at the top. but this isn't the first time that the new york police department has decided to roll out a robo dog. and it didn't go so well the first time. that was in late 2020. people were concerned that this would invade their privacy, that they didn't like the idea there'd be robotic dogs on the street. new york congresswoman alexandria ocasio—cortez called them a robotic surveillance ground drone. and so the new york police department had to put down the dog. one of the police officials said that he thought it was alljust a case of bad pr, and had the dog but named lassie, then maybe he would've survived. either way, the mayor at the time, bill de blasio, said through a spokesperson that he was glad the dog

was gone. but now, there is a new mayor in town. mayor eric adams has insisted that digi—dog is out of the pound. two digi—dogs are going to be rolled out, and they have also got a new companion. that is the k2. a robot by night scope. now k2 has been around for some time. it is often been a compared to r2—d2. but, it's had its own series of mishaps. in 2017 it was hired to patrol and office building in washington, dc, but it somehow ended up in the fountain. an employee nearby tweeted, we were promised flying cars, instead we got suicidal robots. the year before that, a robot was hired to patrol a shopping centre. and instead, ended up running over a toddler. the toddler was not seriously injured. the fact is, mayor eric adams wants to cut spending. he's directed several agencies in new york to do so.

and he thinks of these robots are potential solutions for the new police department. but others, especially critics, think this could be a step in a scary future. when you think of the history of printing you probably think of printing you probably think of names like gutenberg or caxton but the oldest known book printed on a mechanical press originated in korea. it was published on the 14th century and now it is going on display in paris for the first time in 50 years. this is no ordinary book. nearly 650 years old, it is a collection of buddhist teachings. but it is so much more than that. translation: this is the oldest known dated

typographical print in the world. it is an absolutely exceptional document printed in coria. what is quite remarkable about this document is that it uses a technique gutenberg would use 70 or 80 years later. johannes gutenberg printed his bible in the late 15th century. william caxton began using his printing press not long after butjikji predates them by decades. only one volume survives and it is held by the national library of france. this public appearance is incredibly rare and for some, incredibly rare and for some, incredibly special. translation: i incredibly special. translation: 4' , ., translation: i think there is a big difference _ translation: i think there is a big difference between - translation: i think there is a big difference between seeing l big difference between seeing all the objects in pictures and seeing them in real life, said this man, and it is very moving to see them in person. h0 to see them in person. no examples _ to see them in person. no examples of— to see them in person. no examples of the printing press that created the book exist, so

it never became widely used or widely renowned butjikji was the first of its kind and many in coria hope one day it will return home. —— korea. a severe storm has made landfall in western australia, cyclone isla is said to be one of the most strict of storms to hit in decades. those remaining have been told to seek shelter in their homes. just before we go a reminder of our top story for you at this hour. investigators investigating a huge leak of classified documents have made an arrest. he was led away by heavily armed officers, he was the head of an online chat where the

secret material emerged. lots more on the bbc news website, that's it from me, do state with bbc news. thursday brought us a day of sunshine and showers, many of the showers came from these big cumulonimbus clouds looming over the skyline of hastings. not too far away in kent we had a heavy downpour that brought some hail, two centimetres pail was reported and temperatures came down to about one celsius as well so a sudden drop in temperatures as that storm went through. at the moment we have still got a few showers left over across scotland but otherwise some clear spells around, bit of rain starting to edge back into south—west england, southern parts of wales. a chilly start to the day with images 1—3 . this area

of low pressure moves ran across southern wales, southern of england and dives into northern france. i think away from that for scotland and northern ireland there is another day of sun phone and showers, some of them slow—moving as is that low pressure works on two fronts it changes the wind flow and we get this zone of convergence whether winds bash together, a big line of form. maybe we will get an odd funnel cloud even from that kind of area. highs to the skies. sunshine comes out even though temperatures will be below everywhere, probably won't feel too bad but where cloudy, ten, 11 degrees, that is not going to feel too great but on into the weekend we go and the prospect is the weather is going to turn drier, sunny and a good deal warmer as pressure rises and we start to get these milder southerly winds blowing their way across the country both saturday and into sunday as well. weatherwise not a bad start to the weekend, most of us will see some spells of sunshine, still a few showers left over for eastern areas of england and there is the threat of it turning about cloudier

for northern ireland into the afternoon maybe with an odd patch of light rain in the extreme west. to get warmer and 15 degrees given the light winds for glasgow and london, it should feel pleasant with the sunshine you will have. a lot of dry and reasonably sunny weather i think for most of us on sunday. that said probably a bit more in the way our cloud across north—western areas with an odd spot of light rain, temperatures continuing to climb. 15 in liverpool and manchester, 17 in london and that should feel pleasantly warm. high—pressure hangs around next week so a lot of dry weather to come with some warm april spells of sunshine but fairly brisk winds developing in the south—west towards the middle part of the week.
