a winter training camp is in full force with title favorites dortmund and firing munich gearing up for the second half of the season. i'm sumi so misconduct it is good to have you with us victims of a massive data leak here in germany are asking why it took so long for them to be informed personal information from hundreds of german politicians and celebrities was published online back in december but only became public knowledge yesterday that was posted on a twitter account over four weeks in the style of an advent calendar now the leak impacted politicians at all levels including the german chancellor angela merkel the foreign minister of mohsin also the president of the bundestag balkan choice in fact there were very few politicians who were not targeted most were from medicals conservatives also from the center left social democrats. the left party but

notably the far right after it was accepted from the us the party confirmed yesterday that none of their lawmakers were affected german authorities say the government's i-t. network was not compromise and are looking at where the information came from the intent remains unclear as some politicians are demanding action but what i heard shocked me this is a grave attack on democracy in our country. there are massive problems in the digital security architecture we put tensions have looked off as enough in recent years the government has gross and neglected that. we have to take action this is a turning point. right this is a turning point a need for action very clear message there from german lawmakers we have our political correspondent maximiliano with us here in studio she's following the latest developments on the story for us max what are authorities saying about this hack and this leak what are they saying about what's been published and what they

found out so far who's behind this by the german federal information security agency has said yesterday they have been meeting with intelligence services and they've also we know been working together with for example the american intelligence services to investigate that data leak it was quite significant is that this leak already happened make december as you said yourself it was a part of a sort of german christmas adam calendar but only yesterday the agency came forward and said we're looking into this investigating it and the problem is that was a publicly circulated link and security experts say that was quite problematic because people who are accessing the link keen to know what information can i get about politicians and public figures could potentially have gotten mail web by opening these links and going through these files what we know about who's behind it we don't know much about who's behind it yet we know that the twitter channel over which these links were circulated. been suspended already and there is spend

some concern that this tour to china was linked to the rights that have been some discussions but also that china which was found in two thousand and fifteen was in active for a while so it could also have been hacked itself what about the fact that the authorities essentially kept victims in the dark for weeks so why is that well one thing is always that investigators in some cases of criminal activity keep the public in the dark to be sure like to get ahead of the investigation but what is quite different about this attack is that this wasn't a data breach for example of a system like it happened in two thousand and fifteen with a german bunds talk attack where the german infrastructure system was hacked and then the data leak happened this was more like a data so that of publications a lot of data has been accumulated over several years even this is a lot of the data is even coming from older hacks and then put into profiles of these public figures what about the far right and we mentioned that none of their

lawmakers were targeted what is the party saying about that we spec'd to the spokes person of the parliamentary group yesterday and they say they claim that the reason why the party hasn't been affected is because it hasn't been in parliament before two thousand and seventeen as i said a lot of the data that has been published part of this data league has been from previous hacks from example dating back to two thousand and twelve so the party wasn't a parliamentary member in the derma national parliament by then and of course there is the conclusion for from some that this is something happening because of a far right motivation but one should be always careful about that because one thing security experts say is that attribution in cases of data hacks of data or leaks is always something that can easily manipulated and something that therefore shouldn't be jump to conclusion that quite quickly brought a lot of questions still to be answered there are a political correspondent like so many and of course i thank you so much. now five teenage girls have died after

a fire broke out in an escape room game in northern poland typically these games involve locking participants inside a room where they find clues and solve riddles to get out as scape rooms have grown in popularity but now people are questioning whether they are safe it was supposed to be a unique birthday party experience for a group of fifteen year old girls but it's unlikely any of the teens locked into the escape room ever thought they might not make it out alive and in missions we joined the families of the victims in their grief the fire broke out at five in the afternoon in one of the escape rooms enclosure lynn used to be in. all five of the teens in the room died in the fire. an employee of the game center where the room was located suffered severe burns polish media reports show people had already voiced concerns on the game center's website complaining of a strong gas smell inside while others said the set up was little more than a decorated garage the local fire department has called for immediate changes.

opportunity to make the money that i that i anticipated on the way to. the most visible effect of the shutdown is the closed national museums and parks this affects tourism which affects the local economy and in most quarters the shutdown is thought of as a purely political move one without any actual ramifications in the real world but it's not just government workers who are getting shorted on their checks the ripple effects of people being out of work are being felt across the district especially by small business owners. even local stores that don't depend on tourists have to survive on the government workers who live in the neighborhood. that sam works at this local dry cleaner's and he said business has been extremely light since the shutdown. i have to shape my my life a little different now because i never know what's going to happen next and i never know when you know my boss might say. i don't have that much i don't i don't need
