a free bus ride in this indonesian city we take a look at what's prompted the new swap system. the book. and well our thanks so much for your company everyone well we start off with the growing package probe in the u.s. where a nationwide search is currently under way for a suspected serial male bomber and new developments law enforcement officials investigate more suspicious packages discovered today one what was addressed to american actor robert de niro and outspoken critic of u.s. president donald trump two others were reportedly addressed to democrat former vice president joe biden and were intercepted in postal centers in delaware incidents come just one day after the f.b.i. revealed it had intercepted at least seven pipe bombs some of them sent to other leading democrats including former president barack obama and former secretary of

state hillary clinton. and. you have a son is in new york city right outside robert de niro's restaurant in try to becca who has also been targeted abbi what have you learned have there been new developments. well at this time right now new york police have confirmed that the device that was found here via cloying in the very early hours of this morning has now been traced faithfully transported to a facility in the bronx and now the employee found that this package and recognized right away that it looked very similar to the packages that you see on top of vision yesterday it was this a manila envelope the same markings the same spelling mistake even so he called the police right away and now of course it's in the bronx and they will examine this package to see frank similarities to the other packages that they found they will also look to see how this device was built and packaged and also importantly

they'll be looking for genetic material in a straight hair sweat can provide who still clues to the who could potentially be behind these incidents and now there is a great sense of urgency here because as you have mentioned there has also been a package that was intercepted it was addressed to vice president joe biden and that was intercepted at a mailing facility in delaware leyla and that was very early days in the situation still very fluid but i think everybody knows that actor robert de niro is a vocal critic to federal investigators believe that that's the reason why his restaurant was targeted. there have been any confirmation of that as you say now there is a pattern emerging here that the intended recipients have been critical of the president for example democratic heavyweights like the obama's and the clintons and robert deniro has of course been amongst them in his criticism of president trump and he was critical of him when he was a candidate you called him

a national disaster before president even took office and just in june of the tony awards he you know criticized him once again and not gotten a standing ovation from the crowd and of course ben responded in kind so robert deniro has been critical of the president but there is no connection at this time despite the fact there's a pattern that's emerging here that this is the reason that this package was sent here to try. back out to a restaurant that he called on and that is a very important point that you make there abbie yesterday c.n.n. new york office had to be evacuated and the area around columbus circle was a cordoned off today de niro's restaurant had to be cleared out our new yorkers rattled well i'm going to tell you this the stereotypes the stories that you've heard about new yorkers are absolutely true they are on base that their concerns are not showing it governor cuomo has made the comment he said it best when he said new yorkers are top they're resilient they will not let people whoever is behind the incident affect the way that they've been living and that's exactly what i'm

seeing this morning here and try to fact that people are heading off to work they're grabbing a coffee at the cafe next door they don't seem to be fazed whatsoever and of course this could be in part due to the fact that none of these devices actually detonated which is of course the great sense of luck because they are unstable rudimentary devices but due to the fact that perhaps nobody has been injured or have fatal there hasn't been much of a reaction yorkers are tough as the governor has said and not being on our right and they are of course also very resilient to abby could have a son reporting from new york city thank you. mike to bring you up to speed with some of the other stories making news around the world. as thousands of central american migrants continue their trucks through mexico towards the united states the pentagon is planning to send hundreds of troops to the border president trump has accused the caravan of harboring criminals but the men women and children

twenty one civilians at an outdoor market near yemen's port city of data on wednesday all this is according to the united nations humanitarian aid agency the strategic red sea port has been a lifeline for international aid deliveries to this war ravaged country. this year's sakharov prize has been awarded to ukrainian filmmaker all accents off the prize for scented by the european parliament is considered one of the most prestigious human rights awards it honors groups or individuals for their fights for human rights or freedom of thought across the globe a vocal critic of the kremlin and fierce opponents of moscow's an expansion of his native crimea all expense off 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 at russia's human rights record the european union describes this case as a quote breach of international law. and with me in the studio is our very own nick conley you are very well versed in all things a ukraine so we're very happy to have you here with us. this scribe to us put into context for us how significant is it that the e.u. picked him specifically and tell us little bit more about sets off well this is a very difficult time for him because as you mentioned he's just ended his long hunger strike unsuccessfully for him he didn't achieve what he wanted he wanted freedom not any from self but on the ukrainian presence in russia he's a filmmaker who is native to crimea when rush took over he was very vocal in his opposition to that and within a few months he was as you said charged and also convicted of terrorist offenses

amongst other things and sentenced twenty years in jail he's now north of the arctic circle north of the arctic circle all right. a lawmaker. he explained a little earlier on why the use legislative body awarded oh i good sense often with the prestigious sacrifice he spoke today about your news or earlier and then we're going to continue our conversation. i think sense of the first european laureate since ten years deserves this price because it is closest to the spirit of understood her off he stood for freedom of expression and all expense of peacefully expressed his opposition to the legal an accession and occupation of his home crimea and therefore was sentenced to twenty years it is a political decision clearly and we have taken it because there is this sense of urgency to change course in russia. very transparent they're just admitting you know we are taking sides here i'm just wondering i mean is this largely

a symbolic gesture because it will just fall on deaf ears i mean how much of a difference is it going to make really or potentially even maybe the opposite of what they want to achieve given the kremlin's track record in not wanting to be seen to respond under pressure they don't want to be seen to be allowing themselves to be dictated to from brussels there have been signals there from moscow from various officials that they could maybe consider a pardon for him but that's not going to happen because all expense of says he's innocent he refuses to even recognize russia's authority to try him so that way if you can situation is not on the cards how is all i sense of how is he doing do we know we get very little information he's not seeing his family he sees his lawyer occasionally we understand from his lawyer that he doesn't even know yet that he's won this prize the only way he can learn of that is by letter which can take weeks from his family he was definitely very crushed at the end of his hunger strike he felt like he'd let the other ukrainian prisons down and he said he only did it

because he'd been threatened with force feeding and the russian doctors had quote threatened to turn him into a vegetable so it seems like a very tough time in this obviously as a symbol as a symbolic move from brussels to try and prop up his morrow and he probably won't even know about it locked up thank you so much nick callie for bringing us up to speed thank you. and next up we had to in the news which is estimated to be the world's second biggest plastics polluter after china but one of its largest cities has come up with an innovative way to clean up its plastic waste bus isn't there a buy on now accept it as a form of payment in a scheme that has writers paying less but needing bigger wallets. they say one man's trash is another man's treasure. bus riders and can now swap these thrown away bottles for free ticket it's all part of the city's goal to rid itself of plastic waste by two thousand and twenty. five. plastic bottles pile up

cathay pacific is the third major carrier this year to reveal a large scale data breach airlines are prime target for cyber criminals they host a trove of information off customers who are not only affluent but also have credit card payment information is linked to that and also pos point information so that one war options to create. to steal identities last year alone cyber attacks cost companies an estimated four hundred fifty billion dollars in a growing wave of data breaches the biggest tech revealed so far was in two thousand and thirteen the data of three billion yahoo users was stolen the second most serious breach involved online dating site friend finder in two thousand and sixteen when the passwords and e-mail addresses of four hundred twelve million users were leaked and last year a cyber attack on american credit bureau equifax leaked the social security numbers birth dates addresses and in some cases driver's license numbers of one hundred

forty five million people data that enabled criminals to apply for loans and other people's names a growing number of attacks now involve ransomware used to disable computers for production line stocks and hospitals usually those targeted have to pay a sum in a crypto currency to restore access to news from cathay pacific has millions of customers worrying about the misuse of their personal data the airline itself is now under pressure to explain why it took seven months to reveal such a massive data breach. mark tidd should ski is good founder of the technical take the lead based ngo that deals with data security why is targeting lights over the whole why how because i thought getting the data because that's the chaos of the day after is probably because easy maybe they don't respect certain rules and maybe they neglects the rules and so forth and they have enormously important personal

data about his abode you know dates of birth addresses possible numbers id numbers for the card numbers etc and high value also if you're interest in a specific movement a specific group of people you may have different kinds of hackers who may be interested from the political resumes to seeing what does groups are doing and that's also super very level they decide what can they do with the data set though what will can they do with your credit card number without the security number for example what can they do with your passport number without the actual photo sure of the number of the card reveals the name of the bank and even if the card is involved and doesn't have to give you number as is the number of the field you can still pretend to be done first and because you know the name you know the e-mail address and you know the name of the bank ok so you can ask for the code and x. is a set of these people and so forth but i like two different ways of using the data or should three first is that you purposefully want to date of said people i want to know would be that state that sort of data is that you can sell for those who

can force you more access to more information and us it's and so forth it's up to and then he reaches rather market were people can start pretending to be you or fishing for more information you have access to more services because unfortunately we use the same bus was for all of us to be system so it's easy to pretend the post were if we hope for the pattern of birth date name address and so forth we've heard this time and again that companies haven't revealed these breaches for months why has cathay pacific. waited so long seven months and you can see how a base is a panicking this is falling by as much as six and a half percent today now and they should be panicking because that's actually illegal right now according to g.d.p. our budget the new regulations that are valued in europe from made this year what exactly the hike happened is that a company that is not revealing the fact that they were bridge or lake daytimes so ford has only seventy two hours to report on in the first place if they do not

comply the visceral ation they will be fine up to twenty million euro or four percent of the turn over from a previous year so obviously the two are panicking because they are expecting that they will be fine just explain how the hackers are actually doing well has been doing this in a way so first of all they may purposefully sick for access to other mean privileges to be able to access a system that scale i'm not talking about small you know bridge that i get into your account because i'm going to come to kind of access to anything of only one percent four point one perform million people accounts that means that the other mean privilege used to access that data set so for that you either and have some of it inside or if he was this axis or it's been revealed by neglecting you know principle forms of protection security etc so of course whoever done it may not want to attribute it because that's. the job immediately. thank you very much explaining it all for coming in today interesting stuff.

east african neighbors kenya and uganda are locked in a longstanding dispute over part of their border both nations lay claim to an island in lake victoria a piece of land surrounded by valuable fishing waters kenyon local politicians even lobby the government to seek help from the international court of justice but to no avail the fishing home has attracted a growing number of people trying to earn a living. this tiny rock justing out of lake victoria bustles with life the overlapping rusty shacks home to around five hundred fisherman 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 between kenya and uganda.

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 sits in 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 host its flag on the island despite the tensions people from across east africa still drawn to making go. came

a years ago because the 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. here in germany a far right opposition party the alternative for germany or d. is encouraging children to monitor their teachers at school he has launched a slick website where students can report instructors who express political views in the classroom you have you know this visited a school in eastern germany where the party's campaign has many educators worried they could be named as targets. all rika fisher a teacher and dresden enjoys lively discussions with her students including politics she says it's the only way young people will become involved in civil

society when they grow up but she could land in trouble if the far right parties online portals succeeds and at the will when i first heard about this for a holding platform i was outraged this type of platform is from innocent of a time when a culture of denunciation was widespread alric official remembers that time she became a teacher before german reunification when dresden was still part of communist east germany. back then teachers risks being denounced by students if they didn't toe the party line. you can't express any political views and public anymore i can do it privately with my family but not in the open. the f.t.'s website invites students in the state of saxony to anonymously report teachers who voiced political views the initiative aims to ensure germany's neutrality code isn't forced it prohibits teachers from using their authority to influence students

political attitudes. we want to use this portal not just for party politics but also to see what else is happening in schools if there's discrimination against girls or discrimination against german students by foreigners which is increasingly happening because of migration and we want to intervene quickly so we don't have the same situation that we have in schools in berlin or humbug where islam has already gained a foothold in discrimination begins in the classroom and it is continuing to begin the a.f.d. perceives danger everywhere in germany muslims immigration and teachers taking a stand against rightwing nationalism. as it is grotesque nonsense to accuse the teachers of this sort of thing i strongly reject it i need informed interest sponsible teachers who can lead discussions in saxony schools not the kind the if he wants. all rika fisher is certain that the neutrality code is just

a pretext the platform aims to identify the teachers who are critical of the f.t. and get them fired but she's not scared of her students. some of the students have indicated that they know about the platform of us when aware of it that's been taney as reaction was don't worry we won't say anything bad about. authorities are looking into the legality of the f.t.'s online portals for now the platform doesn't appear to have been terminated teachers like all rika fisher. in the champions league were certain to have gone clear at the top of group a after their spectacular four nil victory against at lasik zero madrid on wednesday while dortmund led just before half time through a belgian midfielder accel that still in the second half rafael girl scored twice

while his fellow substitute jade in the sound show took his first ever champions league goal and don't mention remain unbeaten in all competitions this season. and elsewhere in the champions league liverpool knobbly and by the senate are battling for qualification from group c. while liverpool inflicted a four nil defeat on a red star belgrade to go top of the standings after three games while peers rescued a point against not only to keep themselves within touching distance while liverpool reached the final last season but coach you're going club insists their qualification is far from sealed with three games group games still to play we are not through yet so this group of is these days exciting until the end to that. i thought pretty clear immediately after the draw but we're going to

do more than win your games and then the situation change. in your favor if you intend that i'm snide but it doesn't say too much about the group to be honest. you're going club speaking there and a reminder before i let you go of our main headline of this hour police across the united states are hunting for a suspected serial mail bomb or more suspicious packages have been intercepted one addressed to act to robert de niro and another to former vice president joe biden parcel bombs have been sent to a string of presidents from so opponents over the past few days. you've been watching it over here the news continues at the top alex need a. good move. to. move to.
