this is the w. news live from police in new york investigates another suspected to mail bomb this time a suspicious package was addressed to trump critic robert de niro it's the latest in a string of incidents targeting the president's most outspoken opponents also on the program the european parliament is almost over next themself ukrainian filmmaker says she is suffering prize for human rights award on your list by european lawmakers describe him as a prisoner of conscience he's currently in prison in russia after being convicted

of terrorism. on the tiny block of the home of a giants disputes we go to lake victoria to neighboring countries are fighting africa's smallest. unforgettable welcome to the program new york's a police department has removed a suspicious package from a building in the tri back neighborhood it's understood to have been addressed to the u.s. to robert de niro was not spoken critic of president donald trump the incident comes a day after the f.b.i. revealed it had intercepted at least seven pipe bombs some of them addressed to the leading democrats including barack obama and hillary clinton. let's go straight to new york will. be correspondent. abbi what more can you tell us about this developing situation. good morning still there was

a call to the new york police department about henri after an employee at this restaurant said that they seem nice packages on yesterday and this was just like that it was the same model as a cloak the same tax the spelling mistakes the same for current address and they hurt their response was quickly deployed to the restaurant they now know as you just mentioned it's called by actor robert deniro and investigators are treating this as part of a wider at that station based on what happened yesterday with multiple devices mailed to c.n.n. and other democratic officials the packages out to get to a site in the bronx will be examined at visual believe could be a functional pipe bomb and once again are treating it just as they treated the packages yesterday and now could be here the similarities between the devices that today de janeiro and what was received by the media organization c.n.n. and the obama to clinton yesterday who have been critical of trump in the past what i'll say about suspects

a friday on the day demotivation. well at the moment that there are any suspect it's just a nation wide that hunt for the person or the people who made and sent the packages there have been no injuries but clearly the suspects are aiming to inflame or kill and that's the conclusion being drawn by a lawn ornament based on how these devices were built and package as i mentioned the examine these devices all work together clues to help identify and that's done anything from fingerprints d.n.a. evidence to also to track the origin of these packages to figure out where exactly they came from and they'll be able to do that because the u.s. postal service which is one of the services that was used to send these devices had an imaging system and i can help here it photograph each piece of mail that's cost us and that can help determine where it was sent and even the most careful person could potentially be behind some kind of genetic material some of the packages or even can deliver there was no post on them and there are many many cameras in the

city of new york so already they are confident that they will potentially be able to spot someone or people who left these packages behind the president's term has just tweeted the following a fairly big part of the congo we see today he says it's caused by the focus the phones and inaccurate the force of the mainstream media but he seems to be suggesting that recent mail bombs because of the media is this view finding any traction that. well you know it's not surprising i think to a lot of people that you saying this i mean yesterday he did call the country to unify called on other politicians democrats to adopt a more civil tone but these two years how do you feel to call the c.d.n. any of the people in the class his own a for quite some time as you do is now outright a suggestion and students today after your organization than what the party yesterday i mean it could be shopping for many critics critics and then will say this is exactly who he has clearly shown he's not going to change his behavior even when

lives are at risk i'm not angry tweet like this rather hate it will certainly with his base of completely agree that the mainstream press is against hands and that they're against than bill greatest friends brought it upon themselves exactly what he's saying democrats supporters of that party or should be horrified by a country like they generally expect the president to do he's basically going on with the census placing the blame entirely elsewhere so i think you have a saturday in new york thank you. and as for old bombings are the latest ingredient in a feeble a mid terms a mixed i have also said to play a key role migration president from two thousand and two on the twitter that he is bringing out the ministry to protect the u.s. border that as a caravan of migrants tracks north towards a country i missed some says the harboring gang members and what he called middle eastern is a place to which he admits he has no proof but the men women and children walking

from central america say they are fleeing desperate poverty and criminality. they set off in darkness because when the day heats up their trip becomes even more difficult the goal is to travel forty kilometers a day heading north towards the us where they hope for a new and better life after we started on our journey because the situation in our country is on bearable. it's a message they carry with them for the world to see the violence poverty and intolerable living conditions in their home country make the trek to the us the only alternative. is known to be one of the most dangerous countries in the world with the highest murder rate. at home mario was a bus driver terrorized by criminals he received death threats. just leave me but if i had to leave gangsters at home target bus drivers last

monday they almost killed me i barely escaped with my life. mario is traveling with the sister a driver stops helping to make their journey a bit easier. mario doesn't want to be an illegal immigrant he wants to apply for asylum in the u.s. but he is aware the trump doesn't want him to give you a little pay hurts it's humiliating but we're still moving on god gives us strength fighters. when the caravan arrives at one of the checkpoints supposed to stop migrants from travelling to the us border the mexican authorities allow them to pass unhindered. later however the police forbid private drivers from carrying migrants mexico is conflicted between its own open migration policy and u.s. political pressure. because i know you're mexican and i feel for them we have to

support them. not just as barely able to stand to do the heat but the mother from guatemala will not give up the journey is nothing compared to what she left at home. with nothing in the area where i live is so dangerous i can't even leave the house every day someone is murdered you know where they will not come to that yeah you. shortly before the town of my pasta pack where they planned to spend the night villagers distribute food and water a small moment of relief for the seven thousand weary migrants before the unknown challenges ahead. but to some of the other stories making news around the world saudi prosecutors are describing the killing of journalist jamal khashoggi as a premeditated crime the state run sorry press agency says infested gates has reached that conclusion after reviewing evidence provided by turkish officials the revelations contradict the government's initial statement which claimed that he was

killed in a fistfight while inside the culture less. the large scale massacres rape and oppression of ranger muslims by mid march military is still going on according to un investigators who are calling the security council to take action on bassett just as the country's not committing genocide but carrying out what it says are legitimate counter terrorist missions. aside you led coalition air strike has killed nineteen civilians as an outdoor market in the yemen's port city of data this happened yesterday according to yemeni officials the strategic red sea port has been a lifeline for international aid deliveries to the war torn country. ukrainian filmmaker sense office won this year's prize the prize awarded by the european parliament is considered one of the most prestigious human rights awards at all those groups or individuals for their fights for human rights or freedom of thought

across the globe a vocal critic of the kremlin and a fierce opponent of moscow's annexation on his way to crimea has become russia's most famous prisoner he's currently serving a twenty year jail term charged with plotting acts of terrorism a sentence he says is politically motivated this year he staged a one hundred forty five day hunger strike in protest of russia's human rights record the european union describes this case as a breach of international law. from. hoffman. welcome max why. well thank you very much phil you know what the question is suppose is better placed with the man who actually had the idea to nominate and that is the man standing next to me which is he's a member of the european peoples party and he went forward and said we need to nominate this man successfully in the end why did you come up with but i'm deeply moved and

grateful that this decision has been taken i think. the first european laureate since ten years deserves this prize because it is closest to the spirit of understood her off he stood for freedom of expression and i like sense of peacefully expressed his opposition to the illegal. occupation of his home crimea and therefore was sentenced to twenty years so i think he is the one who should get the price you remember the moment when you said this man really deserves it this is enough we need to do something well it was the time when he had. been already sentenced and then started his hunger strike and. for us it was important also to save his life and to make the world and europe aware of the situation and fortunately stop this hunger strike i think he should live for ukraine and not to

die because of putin and what's your message to russia because this is a clear message going beyond the borders of the european union here said this person free and all ukrainian political prisoners sense of started his hunger strike not on his behalf but on behalf of all those who are detained in russia because they are opposing the occupation and do you feel like this might actually change something that you feel like the prize has developed the weight and the impact to change things. we have this year we saw the nobel peace prize to dr mcgregor and and the somali woman. and no one and those two had got sort of prize twenty fourteen and twenty sixteen so and so far the parliament with his views has been pacemaker in a way to get people also and on the other awards and to have this political impact it is

a political decision clearly and we have taken it because there is this sense of urgency to change course in russia thank you very much michelle golland especially if i may add at this point of course the world has become a place where freedom of thought and freedom of speech isn't become more rare and more difficult to achieve so back to you. now it's no big football pitch but the island game goes proving a giant headache for east african neighbors the island is little more than a rock in the middle of length but it's become the scene of a heated dispute exactly where the border between kenya and uganda is because desperate fishermen have set up shop. hoping to boost their catch in the disputed waters around it. this tiny rock justing out of lake victoria bustles with life the overlapping rusty shacks home to around five

hundred fishermen crammed in among them are a few bars brussels and shops they can go is only the size of half a football pitch but the island is the cause of a longstanding london spirit between kenya and uganda. and. the kenyans like to say this is kenya we don't know who owns the silent we've just come here to make money and that's why we left our homes. the island africa's largest lake it began gaining attention in the early two thousand while fish stocks woodwind ling along the shores of lake victoria the deep waters around making go teamed with putt. when kenya and uganda us and security forces to claim the valuable island in two thousand and nine they almost triggered africa's smallest war. the latest spot fled in september when

kenya tried to hoist its flag on the island despite the tensions people from across east africa still drawn to making go. came here years ago because there were lots of people and plenty of fish. while islanders get on with their lives in cramped quarters a joint commission from kenya and uganda is trying to agree where the border lies for now they co-manage making go a rocky marriage of convenience. well to tell his son germany. has boosted her chances of reaching the last four of the season ending w t a finals in singapore by battling past the home of soccer in three sets this tournament of brings together be years eight best players. for much of this match and her at the top of the screen looked in control always making her opponent play

another shot she was the more composed of two of the season's grand slam champions . but things got shaky at the end of the second set with german missed a chance to serve out the match naomi osaka breaking twice in a row to send it to us with decider. thanks. but curt but again and showed the kind of grit that often brings opponents to their niece. after losing her first match in this tournament to the three set win means karabakh has qualification in her own hands i. saw him stephens's out next because the talented if inconsistent american stephens's won two out of two so far the final sat spurts helping her to her latest victory over kiki burton's whichever

woman triumphs in friday's match is guaranteed a place in the semifinals the losers fate is a lot more uncertain. there's issues with. now and i hiking another attack on a major airline that's right hackers have gained access to personal data of nine point four million passengers off on calls cathay pacific airways the carrier says there is no indication of any data having been used for criminal purposes but has yet to explain why it has only just reported the incidents seven months after the attack. but checking with potential. the serious consequences the un authorized access to cut a pacific was uncovered during routine checks on its internal i.t. system the hong kong authorities were informed of the incident on wednesday. the data exposed includes passenger names physical addresses and passport numbers cathay is now the third major airline this year to reveal it suffered

a large scale data breach. last year alone cyber attacks cost companies an estimated four hundred fifty billion dollars in a growing wave of data breaches. the biggest revealed so far was in twenty thirteen when the data of three billion yahoo users was stolen. the second most serious breach involved friend finder in twenty sixteen when the passwords and e-mail addresses of four hundred twelve million users were leaked last year a cyber attack on american credit bureaus equifax leaked the social security numbers birth dates addresses and driver's license numbers for one hundred forty five million people data that enable criminals to apply for loans in other people's names. a growing number of attacks now involve ransomware which disables computers in charge of production lines docs and hospitals generally those targeted have to pay or some of the cryptocurrency to restore access. the news from cathay pacific

has millions of customers now worrying about the misuse of their personal data. on itself is under pressure to explain why it took seven months to make such a massive data breach public. one of those questions i'd like to discuss with there is a local she's not here but writing for vice germany welcomes to the tourism how serious is this breach it is pretty serious there are over nine million costs of affected and. has a lot of personal. in these accounts that were exposed. it is not that serious in the regard that there are only expired credit card information . being exposed this time around but nevertheless attackers could pass these data around the dock where for example and also build comprehensive does he is that could be used for fishing tax fraud or other criminal activities this is this

brings me to my next question what can actually be done with this kind of days or who buys this is it is it money is of money in serious money in a sure what can we can they can be sold on on the dock where particular forum specialized. leaked out on heck data. and they can be used for a fishing for example if you say have a cow and an airline you bought a ticket you have a phone number connected to it maybe you are a corporate customer and you have six or more credit cards thing to your account these accounts can be used to create a fake identity and to steal your identity. these hackers could for example call up at the airline call up at the credit card and use the phone number as a back up to then create a new identity and link new payment details to to an account so what customers should be do or what people affected should be do is be wary of phishing attempts if they are affected and the airline will probably. we get in contact with them and

they should just be very wary the attackers also sometimes sent out e-mail to test these phishing attempt so they should be checking twice whether the email asking them to check their account actually comes from the line. is this clever policy by the way to keep everything on the cob under wraps until seven months later i don't think it is a very clever policy for example in the late to start to bridge that an element of where alan was affected i think it was british airways they inform customers right away. seven months is a long time and a lot can be done with this in the meantime and i think it also hurt their shares very briefly to raise more and more hundreds of lives why is that. airlines are very attractive target for cyber criminals because they host a trove of information of customers who are not only affluent but also have credit card payment information is linked to that and also passport information so there

are more and more options to create just use or to steal identities of thank you very much. bargains in a slum today in tokyo the nikkei two to five dropped three point seven percent and hong kong's hang seng fell one percent from a just sell off on wall street on wednesday asian markets are now on track for their worst full months since the global financial crisis weaker runnings for u.s. companies are stoking fears of a global economic slowdown also geopolitical uncertainty rattled investors who have already had to put up with the ongoing trades between washington and beijing many are now seeking safer havens for their money. let's bring in the birds from the for instance talking to james also had trouble sort as asia how is your of doing at the moment. against expectations europe isn't actually

doing so bad it's bucking the trend after starting the low this morning lots of indices recovered and are now positive and even the news that the european central bank isn't going to change its interest rate only made a minor dent why is that why is europe so different from the other markets even analysts are at a loss to explain and really one possible explanation might be that european markets have lost quite a lot in quite a short time in the past weeks the dax itself lost over a thousand points in a few weeks and is at a two year low was at a two year low yesterday and sometimes there are just these bounce back that happens because short term actors need to put their money somewhere that doesn't mean it can't change within hours. with the frankfurt thank you. we're going to the philippines where for six months the most famous tourist destination was shut down to rehabilitate the years and years of mass tourism

damage the once pristine beaches nearly beyond group that so the national government put on the emergency brakes to the detriment of local businesses this friday. is said to reopen to tourists again our reporter went to check on the island. has waited six months for visitors to. bursting years of environmental mismanagement over tourism might take more time than the ready or not however the island is reopening i mean efforts clearly ongoing buildings have had to be raised and declared don't build zones or move to make way for you grow it's on a beach workers race to complete an overhaul of the underground sewage system was overloading the two hundred waste water being dumped into the ocean one key issue that led to its closure last year more than two million tourists came to this tiny

island of just over ten square kilometers more than half of them for it now the tourism authorities are warning incoming visitors to manage their expectations and you can see why as it turns out fixing an island isn't easy here. it's been hard on business owners fernando doris tried to teach the shop open during shutdown but major road work displacing electricity posts had led to frequent hours on power outages that's set to continue and i'm going to pick that effect on us is that we struggled we made very little money and my staff suffered i couldn't feed the so they left so i'm experiencing. first some of the closure and the island's complicated recovery is wholesale punishment for the misdeeds of a few but others see it as a sign of political will returning to broccoli after years of poor governance. corruption is the main reason why you know the negligence of. our leaders so we are all part of this kind of

misery and painful journey of closure of bra and how we all be learn our lessons from from this mistake and this is a wake up call for every filipino that is doing business in the country. then you come. so with a new set of rules like strict arrival limits authorities hope fewer people will keep it sustainable to stop businesses from cutting corners to keep up with demand but some worry a lack of accountability would be the sacrifice was for nothing i only call it if those who violated regulations were shut down on blacklisted others would be afraid to follow suit but what's actually happening is that no one has been arrested for violations no one's been punished no one knows how much was paid in the penalties. it's possible brock i could be made. because no one went to jail i'm not. there's

strong support for the idea here that the national government had to go to extremes and deprived iraq eye of its tourism revenue for a while in order to save it that the rescue continues as tourists return represents a new test for the island but by. reporting that that is a reminder of the top stories we're following for you here on d w police in new york have removed a suspicious package addressed to robert de niro the actor is a prominent critic of president the whole trump string of trump's opponents have been signs of possible bombs in the past few days. this is the news live from berlin there's more news coming up top of the outlets from washing up on.
