this is g.w. newsline from both and hundreds of german politicians and public figures fall victim to a massive data breach private phone numbers documents and credit card details have been published on twitter also on the program concerns growth nearly fifty migrants dot com board to rescue ships off the coast of malta as european governments refuse to allow the vessels to dock the matter of the italian city of palermo defies his government and says the migrants are welcome in his time he'll be live on this program. he's only been president for three days but of brazil's jail balsa not

only has already begun a purge of officials who don't share his father ideology and move to give the police impunity some how far will he go. plus one of the world's great cities a risk of losing a unique part of its identity hong kong's famous neon signs of good lighting up the outlook for decades but cheaper and more modern alternatives are becoming more popular with the activists try to protect the terrorists beyond heritage. i'm. sure the program. the personal details of hundreds of german politicians have been stolen and published on twitter a german security agency is now investigating the data breach which includes cell phone numbers and credit card details the government says lawmakers at all levels have been affected journalists and celebrities were also targeted the identity of
7:02 pm
the hackers has not been established. even german chancellor angela merkel has been affected the leaked data includes a fax number e-mail address and several letters purported to come out of her office it's not clear yet if the leaked documents are authentic said sim file it does however even if a large part of the data concerned where authentic experience shows that in such cases falsified data by having. hundreds of other german politicians were targeted by the hackers from every german political party except the right wing populist party the cyber terrorists then use twitter to make public personal data such as phone numbers id documents chats invoices and even photos of their children germany's justice minister catalina barly condemned the leaks as an attack on the country's democracy the left's parliamentary party co-leader says he's deeply shocked. it's an attack on the social
7:03 pm
cohesion of our country. i've read and heard that many artists journalists and politicians are affected. the aim is obviously to create a climate of fear a climate of insecurity in our country and the leak was first discovered thursday evening however it appears the first document started appearing in december with a twitter account releasing information daily in the style of an advent calendar none of the internal documents that were released are reported to be highly sensitive at the moment there is no known suspect nor motivation. let's not kid ourselves there's no such thing as personal privacy and we're all vulnerable to attacks like this but they need to be stopped. and. it's not the first time the german politicians have been hacked russia was accused of a series of cyber attacks that stole data from computers in the german parliament
7:04 pm
in twenty fifteen and last year the german government's i.t. network came under a fresh attack russian hackers were allegedly also to blame. well let's get more on this from v.w. social media. chief political correspondent bill and clay welcome both let's start with you melinda the government says no sensitive data data has been linked to what does that mean that means that most of this data or so far all that has been reviewed appears to be personal data things like cell phone numbers facebook posts you heard in the report a number that supposedly is the chancellor's fax number this is not the kind of attack that we have seen here in germany in the past as just described attacks on the actual i.t. infrastructure of the german government of the parliament this appears to be quite different and for that reason possibly somewhat limited risk in comparison to
7:05 pm
those other attacks but again it's early days we don't know the full scope yet and what is being made of the fact that the only political party untouched by this is the right wing populist i have to say. well of course one of the first speculations that was put out there by some cyber experts and fellow journalists was that perhaps someone closely tied to that right wing party to the f.t. might be behind this there was also some initial speculation that this might be the work of russian hackers who perhaps in some ways also would be supportive of the party because it helps to destabilize germany but now there's increasing thought on the part of some cyber experts that the perpetrators of this of this crime actually maybe young german men who have right wing sympathies and who simply would like to
7:06 pm
expose the private details of people they don't sympathize with people they don't like be their politicians be they sports stars be they television anchors and that in fact this is to some degree a sort of a mischief attack as opposed to something like politically motivated russian hacker . this is not just politicians caught up in this yeah right i mean we've been looking through the information that's contained in here and as we heard in the report as belinda mentioned it's it goes beyond politicians i mean we're seeing. some german actors a german t.v. presenter who is well known for bowling pranks on the far right and interestingly a lot of journalists as well as forty different journalists are also had their personal information exposed here in this hacking. so most of these figures they're german and they're well known for sort of left leaning political views what happened here is really it's called dox ing and if you haven't heard about that
7:07 pm
this is releasing personal information on purpose so your phone number your email your home address and the intent here is often to get people essentially to harass you on your private number in fact we heard reportedly martin schulz of the s.p.d. he started getting phone calls from. arrangers on his private number that was how this was first revealed it's easy to speculate but what i've heard is well you know overall this hack seems to go out of its way really to target people with left leaning left wing views in germany now as frustrating to it looks like there's this leak happened early in december. but no one in government noticed until yesterday so. even the media we just caught on to this yesterday as well i mean this is been out for weeks it's likely that whoever was behind this had trouble getting people to notice what they were doing they were really trying to get attention and they couldn't and we suspect that because of the twitter accounts that were tweeting out this stuff and take a look here's one of those accounts there were two main accounts associated this is
7:08 pm
one they've both since been taken down by twitter but you can see this had nineteen thousand followers we suspect though that many of them were bots that these were not real people take a look at the way that it was releasing information as you heard this was in the form of an advent calendar every day in december another bit of information was released along with a link to that information so it was organized it was designed to get excitement going but no one cared i mean look at this tweet for example it supposedly is offering some dirt on german actor till she has the link there but look only one retreats five likes it just wasn't getting traction in fact most of these links on the twitter account were not clicked on it all when first published in december eventually these perpetrators had to hack another account with two million followers start tweeting from there that was how they got this attention again speculation here but given the what we see from that it's not likely that this was tied to a larger organization they would have had that much trouble getting this info out there. melinda cry and this does seem to keep happening to german politicians whose
7:09 pm
job is it to keep data secure what are they doing about this latest breach there is a cyber defense body that has now been convenient and it brings together security officials and police if. bills from the federal local regional level officials concerned with domestic policy as well as officials who look to security issues abroad all of them are now working to try to uncover and investigate what happened here we also are hearing some of the political parties calling on their members to be more careful with their passwords and their personal data the fact is to some degree many germans including prominent politicians and others are rather careless in terms of their online behavior but of course that goes for many of us citizens as well and i think this is always a wake up call to be very careful what you're putting out there and how you're

migrants they are in limbo in the narrow confines of the two ships operated by eight organizations see watch and see i q a p n countries have so far refused to let them disembark but mayors of several large italian cities refused to obey the country's official tough anti immigration law slamming it as unconstitutional. says and. we apply the laws only if they conform with the called secure. thus the constitution prevails are the ordinary laws and if people's rights are restricted according to the color of their skin the constitution must prevail. and this official letter to majesty offered to let the watch come to the heart of naples assuring them that the refugees will be able to disembark. but according to see watch this is easier said than done official rescue centers have to assign
7:22 pm
available ports and the weather conditions are simply too bad deeply affecting the people on board. but the biggest problem is also that our guests the thirty two people that we have here on board know already for thirteen days. the show mental problems. florence and palermo as well as several german cities have also offered the migrants refuge as more and more official to unite in solidarity with the refugees hoping creases for those in desperate need of help. well i just heard the mayor of palermo as one of several italian massive subway stranded rescue ships off malta are welcome in their ports and leo luca orlando joins me now from welcome to day mr man what are you doing to make this happen well thank you for your work. just to say. the first.

7:31 pm
a year countries are refusing to accept the aid agency saying the health is deteriorating. it was only sworn in this week but brazil's new president should have both sonata has started a purge of the public service he's authorized the dismissal of some three hundred public servants on temporary contracts since taking office on tuesday as sweet targets officials who don't share his administration's thought ideology his own chief of staff has described the move first claiming the house. no not tomato is from the institute for latin american studies of the for university in balad welcome to the doubly let's start with these dismissal so three hundred civil servants gone partly ideological grounds so how does that work. so words like we've seen for many dictatorships so they are they have been working for their workers' party and they are considered to be allied with socialists because most of naras government has created this
7:32 pm
a me that he was going to free brazil for socialism and that's what he started doing of although we know that there was never a socialist government in brazil so the this is the situation in brazil is what the civil servants work for political parties because it's aims of the president would come in as i will or everyone who worked for the last lot you've all got to go to actually they are civil servants they say. at the state a state officials they are state officials but they have commissioned. responsibility adults they are commission for specific leader roles and for that you get. nominated by the government so you can have a responsibility post. or something because they don't recall drugs they can just say right thank you you can all go they go they go back to the ministry and they will probably have no political role they would just minutes of just. getting paid
7:33 pm
i think to bring down brazil sky high crime rate was also one of his campaign pledges now he's asking for laws to protect police and soldiers from prosecution went on active duty. again to european is this this sounds outrageous is he likely to get his way i think we already had an experience in that direction doing the military intervention in vegas and they had a this last year where police killings increased and i think. might be able to advance its. possibilities a legal possibility of doing that but what we he will probably fail to do is to reduce violence with violence because actually he's not fighting the causes of criminality the high social inequality the lack of opportunities the lack of will give a chance he's only been in office three days let's see but he already within three days brings is the ministry of education and next to the measure to abolish the
7:34 pm
secretary for diversity which fights for. more opportunities for women for blacks for indigenous education for instance ok so this is a man who took fifty five percent of the votes he sounds like quite a divisive figure you know what are you expecting from brazilian politics and over the next five years i think even the opposition still taking its time to organize their opposition. the media's house of being attacked by both journalists were not allowed to follow all the steps in the inauguration. join a list were encouraged not to move brusquely because they could be sought so i think most institutions that would control this government is still trying to understand how his power of the exercise so you cannot do predictions are not easy
7:35 pm
to do and the prognostics are sort of fit either way it's going to be an interesting year few years thank you so much for joining us ross a martyr from britain's institute for latin american studies thank you. japanese court says it will hold a hearing into the case of carlos car next tuesday after lawyers for the foreman if sound chairman requested an explanation for his continuing detention gone has been in prison in tokyo since authorities arrested him in november on charges of financial misconduct. carlos ghosn has been behind bars in this tokyo prison for the last six weeks japanese prosecutors accuse the former nixon boss of financial misconduct the specific accusations against him include under reporting his salary for years enabling him to avoid paying tax on us using company money to
7:36 pm
pay for personal expenses and shifting seventeen million dollars worth of his own losses on to nissen goan denies the allegations. the charges follow a glittering career in the auto industry in the mid one nine hundred ninety s. going to go over at the helm of the embattled ran no and oversaw a cost cutting program that turned the company's fortunes around a few years later he performed a similar feast at nissen when it entered an alliance with iran no mitsubishi later joined the read-only sun alliance and the group became the biggest carmaker in the world if found guilty go on could face years in jail. now just before the holiday season rowe managed to clinch a budget deal with brussels that will avoid disciplinary steps against a city but doubts over the tally in economy continue and many italians are growing tired of the e.u. use fiscal policy so we went to northern italy to hear the opinions of some entrepreneurs there. this company and be tense are has been processing natural
7:37 pm
stone and marble for more than one hundred forty years but since two thousand and six revenue has dropped by eighty percent i believe i do that if we used to have higher profits that allowed us to invest in the workforce and on materials but nowadays with high taxation and banks that explosions we don't make the same profits anymore there's no lack of work it's the taxes that are killing entrepreneurship they're too high with us or. basically slow economic recovery since the financial crisis still weighs on entrepreneurs some say they're tired of living under the e.u.'s strict fiscal rules. and i still think that the e.u. is a good thing. but even asking too much of a silly i don't see this is a good thing. but leaving the e.u. i don't know. despite growing disaffection with the e.u. most entrepreneurs would prefer to stay in the common marcus'. political problem
7:38 pm
again i believe that the problem with the e.u. is the one size fits all rules from member states but we're all in different situations we need more flexibility different situations of every state need to be taken into account when you think that you're playing is that. her company produces sparkling wine exports to the e.u. account for thirty percent of sales. so. i hope our politicians will think of companies out of those of us who don't want to leave the european union. the italian government has backed down in its budget standoff with the e.u. but until the country finds a way to boost its economy more confrontations can be expected. back until now taking a look at bright lights in a while relatively small city. thank you we're talking about is famous for its iconic signs they've been lighting up shops and restaurants on the island for
7:39 pm
decades but as well the. risk of losing those private lives unless activists can say. mucci car is one of the last to master craftsmen of neon sign it in hong kong business people bring him their hand drawn designs that he makes the neon signs that hong kong is famous for. he works with glass tubes which he painstakingly bends into shape it's precision work who found his profession by chance. it was the summer holidays when i was eighteen my father thought i was doing nothing so we got me a job with the neon sign make. who was offered the opportunity to stay on and he decided not to go back to school it's quite a challenge to form the complicated chinese characters the work has remained the
7:40 pm
same bending the glass attaching the ignition coil. and filling the tube with fluorescent gas all is done by hand but for wu much has changed and. up until fifteen or twenty years ago i worked every day for seven or eight hours making me own cherubs so. today it's maybe four or five days a month. so. his incl now comes mainly from other jobs the neon signs that used to be hong kong's trademark are becoming a rare sight carden china has been documenting those that remain. this is closer to. the hong kong i used to. she runs a group that hopes to protect hong kong's neon heritage many old signs have been taken down because of new safety regulations and a cheaper alternative to meon is replacing those that remain. here and the blue and
7:41 pm
yellow one. after the l.e.d. and one day i think you just knew you could actually see the signs symbolize wealth in a city that once set trends for the rest of the continent for chan a part of hong kong's identity is fading. from cause such a i was. concluded a day maybe. it may not be. hong kong is a changing city many people from hong kong fear a loss of political and cultural independence carden chan wants to keep the craft of bending the young glass alive so she's planning workshops with master craftsman i. am going to see things change we have to accept this.
7:42 pm
i think the key is for us to find new uses for neon lights. for example using them as lamps and decorations. interior design. perhaps wu's vision maybe the best way to avoid losing an artform so closely linked to hong kong. piles of rubbish along the coastline yeah i root for straightening presidents and uniting them since twenty fifteen the lebanon has been struggling with a garbage crisis as its land fills the beach capacity of the military even had to be called out to put down riots over the smile now across the city activists and entrepreneurs looking to rise above sectarian divisions come together and do something about pollution. the beaches of the lebanese capital beirut could be beautiful if they weren't so often drowning in garbage. it's something these young people want to change with the motto run and clean they combine exercise with their
7:43 pm
commitment to the environment eighty bit torrent is n.-g. o. live love beirut are joining in on the action for the fourth time. young people in particular are no longer willing to accept the lack of action from local politicians when it comes to the environment. this is part of the outcome of the crisis that we have a few years ago we see that people are more and more concerned with all the problems facing the environment in lebanon and we are very happy to see that all the people young people families use are all coming all together in order to remove all the trust and to be part of any kind of solution this commitment to cleaning up has united the young people of beirut both christians and muslims sectarian divisions in the country i mean it seems like this have not been the norm. and there is a lot of. lebanon so we could do anything just so we can. help
7:44 pm
the local authorities are absent when it comes to waste management and i think we should put it on. record that while we were running to clean this part of the meets the coast we saw the mayor walking in the opposite direction and we asked him to come help and need by example and he said he was too busy in two thousand and fifteen and two thousand and sixteen a waste management crisis had the streets of beirut covered in meter high garbage operations stopped after local residents forced the closure of a large local landfill. works in environmental protection at the american university in beirut she says the government ignored all warning signs that led up to the crisis it would happen again because we don't from the government plan to. waste management. recycling containers have since been set up by private businesses run by people like c i b chucker he says since the waste crisis for many people
7:45 pm
simply throwing rubbish away is no longer enough. people have really embraced. it asking us for more and more the occasion separating household waste has proved big business for the entrepreneur last year at the checkers company sorted some twenty tons of trash every day here syrian refugees separate metal textiles paper and plastic garbage is completely recycled eleven on the very high organic component of the trash is turned into compost the problem was before the crisis is that all this waste would go to a landfill when the crisis happened this was the instigation to build a facility like this one when you have to sort of thing and go boasting and we have nothing goes to that end of the insanity the entrepreneurs idea of a circular economy can be sitting on the roof of this refugee center. have a check or makes these so-called eco boards from plastic waste they are then filled
7:46 pm
