2:01 pm
hello, i'm sarah campbell. a 21—year—old us air national guardsman will appear in court later today charged with the most serious leak of secret intelligence documents in years. jack teixeira is expected in court in boston in the next few hours. the leaked material first appeared on, an online chat forum, and has exposed details of ukraine's war plans. the man in connection with a leak. arrested by the fbi, he is 21 euros jack teixeira. he is charged with the unauthorised removal and transmission of classified documents. these were highly sensitive intelligence assessments prepared by the pentagon'sjoint star. he had access to them and is accused of posing them on an online
2:02 pm
chat forum for gamers and good lovers. that forum included members in ukraine and russia. before long, the one secret documents went public. beyond the present question of how did somebody so due to get access to such sensitive intelligence is the wider question of what is a lasting effect of this leak? how much damage will this do to america and its allies? the documents give details of friction between russia's intelligence and defence agencies, so the kremlin now knows which of its communications are being eavesdropped on, and it will take countermeasures now. on ukraine, the documents reveal in great detail the strands and dispositions of its weaponry, most damaging of all they suggest ukraine is running out of air defences. this could now tempt russia to make more use of its air force, potentially changing the entire course of the war. , , ., , changing the entire course of the war. h, ., , ., changing the entire course of the

2:04 pm
to quite a big database. he was serving on something known as the otis database in massachusetts. obviously he was not only able to access the stuff, but take it home. the us doesn't seem to have learned its lessons from previous leaks of intelligence by edward snowden and chelsea manning. there is a culture within the pentagon of giving relatively young operatives a lot of responsibility. and 99% of cases, thatis responsibility. and 99% of cases, that is fine, but in this case, whatever betting he was subject to didn't pick up on the fact he was essentially a loose cannon. i won't prejudice his trial whether was deliberate or not, certainly the us government says it was, his friends say it was different. but clearly the system is at fault because this is acutely embarrassing for the
2:05 pm
united states. it is embarrassing for its allies who had their conversations eavesdropped on, somebody goal as well is of course russia, which will be putting patches on the communication being listened to by the us. that patches on the communication being listened to by the us.— listened to by the us. that is about auanti of listened to by the us. that is about quantity of information _ listened to by the us. that is about quantity of information out - listened to by the us. that is about quantity of information out in - listened to by the us. that is about quantity of information out in the i quantity of information out in the ether. can you decide from your perspective which is the most significant, orare perspective which is the most significant, or are there too many? without question, the most damaging is when it comes to ukraine because thatis is when it comes to ukraine because that is an ongoing war. yes it is embarrassing about south korea, china, israeland embarrassing about south korea, china, israel and each of, but the stuff that really matters is the combination in these intelligence assessments that ukraine is running low on aired offences. this is the weaponry it has which shoots down russian planes and missiles. you
2:06 pm
probably noticed there isn't much aircraft activity in the ukraine war, and the reason is that both sides know the other sides has missiles which can shoot them down. if ukraine no longer has those missiles after may, there is nothing to stop president putin from unleashing his powerful air force, and if he does that, it will change the course of the war and it was ukraine's counter strike before it gets off the starting blocks. this is damaging, and ukrainians will be furious. it shows the us intelligence community can't be trusted to keep secrets.- intelligence community can't be trusted to keep secrets. thank you. i would trusted to keep secrets. thank you. i would like — trusted to keep secrets. thank you. i would like to _ trusted to keep secrets. thank you. i would like to go _ trusted to keep secrets. thank you. i would like to go to _ trusted to keep secrets. thank you. i would like to go to detroit - trusted to keep secrets. thank you. i would like to go to detroit now- i would like to go to detroit now and speak to the us federal defence attorney ronald chapman. thank you forjoining us. i will ask the same question as frank, because it is a thing people can't get their heads
2:07 pm
around, how does a system work that somebody he was just out of school, how can they have access to such sensitive information? it essentially comes down to a loss of control with respect to classified information. the classified information, you aren't allowed to bring a cell phone or outside electronics, i do on supposed to bring anything out of that we understand this person was copping downloads originally and then started taking photographs of classified information. whoever was monitoring the facility failed to ensure information was not leaving the facility, and then there is the question, how did he get access to top—secret or potentially top—secret information? that would only come through access granted on a need—to—know basis. through access granted on a

it's really horrible looking back at it now. it was like blood vessels bursting underneath the nails. i was embarrassed, really embarrassed about them. some of them i'd had to trim them right down to, like, half the length. it had a really negative impact on, like, how i felt. i thought people would look at me and think i was dirty. the damage to laura's nails and fingers was caused by an allergy to the gel nail polish that she'd been using at home. the british association of dermatologists first warned that gels were causing allergies in 2018. dr deirdre buckley is a consultant dermatologist and co—author of that report. she says they're now seeing a big increase in cases. i and all of my colleagues who work in cutaneous allergy are seeing patients most weeks with this problem. it can range from the nails loosening to falling off. it can include a severe rash on the face, the neck, the upper chest, which is mysterious. the consequences are severe. in worst cases, there can be respiratory symptoms. these issues are being caused
