now what we do know is that the home isolated good chance of being called is going from town to town causing while i'm on a date. and things like that explosion days going public anger that the government is not seeing much of the situation is harming the country and most infectious was never on me as a cia agent and just to be explicit further i mean more important but what constitutes a class is a constant has been about which i am also a critic of course now that this storm is going to be formed over my glasses. well you have to take it does not feel much from the government all of us are the people to come and he spoke only after much damage was done didn't get the time i wanted but people do not have much 7 months really only and they're urging the government

to step up that difference. between the countries. just generally what are people saying about what needs to be done if they don't believe in the government's ability to step in here about what needs to be done to ease the tensions between the longer buddhist likable majority of course and then a christian and muslim minority. president think there is not much faith in this government because they have been thinking with science more than we actually need to see these guys have been having getting to get infected from any q a you get me that me because he's trained for a while and to maintain calm to maintain a piece of us obviously is not facing much because yesterday we saw one of the worst to actually right now must be our whole thing is that the image of c. does in fact up there for us people who just suck communicating with each other much i beg of you common sense does it show their government. but there. are people

you lot. from me. if i could go through that there are a lot of people actually who. are we don't know if there's a lot of peace because they're coming out so he said really the result of the fear of much stronger always. gentlemen thanks so much for that jamila national dean from colombo force thank you now too that major security breach at one of the world's largest communication apps whatsapp was out has discovered a vulnerability that allows remote spyware to be installed on mobile devices a british newspapers reporting that and israeli security firm n.s.o. group developed that surveillance software the group the report saying a u.k. attorney evolved in a lawsuit against the n.s.o. group was among the selected targets whatsapp is urging its 1500000000 users to

install the latest update as a precaution immediately. ok so what do you need to do let's talk about that and much else with max he's a tech expert and investigative journalist thanks for coming in max can you tell us about 1st of all the whole group which apparently breached whatsapp security systems well and it's oh group is a company that operates on a quite opaque gray market little is known about but they are one of the largest players in the business of developing surveillance tools or hacking tools and they're used in israel in tel aviv they're an israeli company allegedly $500.00 people and these tools that they develop they can sell for hundreds and thousands of dollars ok and who they have been selling them to well there is also little known about that and they wouldn't be the ones that deploy the tools they allege

that it was only used to capture drug drug kingpins or terrorists. there was also human rights activists that say otherwise ok what are those human acts. saying who was targeted in this breach how many users are we talking about well we're talking about a very small number of people that's important to know when we talk about this breach this is a targeted attack that would only be used to capture a high profile target so that means research as in human rights advocates are saying that a saudi dissident a qatari dissident a lawyer based in london mexican journalists were targeted by the software so this is not the type of attack that attacks 10 thousands of people ok but it could be sold to a group that would be interested in my dad or your dad or any of our viewers out there for you say what to say that you were such a high profile target yes but it's a quite complicated attack that you conned scale to a very large amount but nonetheless it's a very dangerous attack and it's

a dangerous sign that this software can be out there used on a platform like what's ok so the company is urging its users to update their apps the 1500000000 people on this planet. to have whatsapp are being told to update their. versions right now will that restore confidentiality to conversations i update my app well. there is a system in place called enter and encrypt in which ensures that the content of your text messages and pictures and everything you send encrypted so that not even the company want to but self can read it so that content is protected even though supposedly targeted by the software but nonetheless it's a very good idea to always keep your systems updated and so in this case update what's the update your operating system and you're safe ok not just update what else would you recommend for viewers out there for for everyone listening or watching right now to do well the tragedy here is that this is not something that

is a user can do in this case to prevent against the spying of this high profile level of a company with 500 people developing that stuff so it's a political question actually where politics need to do something to stop this type of global export of hacking tools ok so moves on to the political a political level after today your today from getting a onwards tech expert investigative journalist. thanks very much max thank you. check out some of the other stories making the news at this hour president trump as met with prime minister viktor orban at the white house president praising orbán hardline and the immigration policies of top democrat in the us criticizing the president for quote embracing authoritarian figures over democratic outlets. the american actress felicity huffman has pleaded guilty to her role in a university admissions cheating scandal off then admitted she paid $15000.00 to

pump a oh we are living in a crucial moment where. the most relevant. attitude to take the most responsible attitude to take is should be and that is not sinister maximum restraint avoiding any escalation on a military site let's get some analysis now with cornelius. from the think tank the german council on foreign relations he's in our brussels studio mr author bar thanks so much for being with us eve foreign ministers have expressed concern about the possibility and i'm quoting here of an accidental military confrontation between the u.s. and iran in the gulf is this a real danger. well what we saw last week is the continued military buildup by the united states in the persian gulf there was a briefing by the pentagon of sketching out options for

a military escalation including more than 100000 troops u.s. troops which would be needed in such a conflict so there is real and serious planning being done on the u.s. side is that it appears and this is what worries everyone else the europeans in particular but also the other signatories of the steel the russians and the chinese and certainly everyone in the region so yes we should not discount this possibility and that's why it was important for the europeans to show once more their position to the u.s. that is a position of what they call maximum restraint as opposed to maximum pressure which the united states is trying to put on iran ok the beans might be calling for maximum restraint but the u.s. secretary of state is pushing europe to toughen its stance on iran will this impact the e.u. position. by what happened yesterday judging by what happened yesterday not so

much i mean it was a surprise visit was only a couple of hours before you landed that the european foreign ministers were told about his visit they tried to accommodate him in the sense that way he would not get the photo opportunity with all 28 which that could be used signaling support because if you just look at pictures and don't know what was being said it looks as if the europeans and americans would be on the same side so they were trying to accommodate their own schedule with his presence in brussels they had one on one meetings with the british the french the german foreign minister with federico mcgreevey the high representative and they all delivered the same message that there is no room for escalation and they should know there should be no room for an arrow for a mistake an escalation which which just happens because of so much military in the region ok pompei is continuing his shuttle the diplomacy he'll be in softly russia

today for talks and sergey lavrov his russian counterpart what will pompei will be looking for from russia when it comes to iran. well with russia the picture is a bit more complex its 1st visit to russia since he had become the foreign minister secretary of state so they have an entire range of issues to talk about from venezuela the situation to the arctic to iran also lover of in advance of the meeting said that he doesn't he would like to understand what is the u.s. ration nail behind this military buildup the russians are certainly not supportive of it they see the pressure as counterproductive and in that sense they are on the side of the europeans russia is part of the agreement russia wants to stay in the agreement russia wants iran to stay in the agreement to prevent a nuclear bomb from being build so it will be. a conversation between 2

sides who disagree on on most things and find little agreement including on the iran ok we'll see what comes out of that meeting over later today colonel us out of our from the german council for foreign relations thanks so much for being with us thank you brian. a court malta is due to issue a verdict in the trial of the refugee rescue ship lifeline the vessel's captain. is charged with using the boat in maltese waters without proper registration the captain denies the allegations in june of 20 team he and his crew rescued more than $230.00 refugees in the mediterranean but the lifeline was not allowed to enter an italian harbor after a number of days at sea vessels allowed to dock in malta where it was confiscated by authorities. to. now to a series of killings which is puzzling police here in germany authorities in
