japanese entrepreneur has gone to bottle clocks tick waste one bottle of time. this is the domain of business by unpaid ferguson welcome we begin in the united states where prosecutors have charged 4 members of the chinese military for taking part in a major hock of credit reporting agency equifax in 2017 days have belonging to nearly 150000000 american citizens was stolen in what's being called one of the world's largest ever data breaches official said it took over a year to track the suspect through the dozens of servers they used to hide their tracks earlier i spoke to our reporter daniel wynter to find out more. equifax is a credit rating agency a credit history agency so if you want to take out. alone with your bank the new bank might contact them to see if your credit worthy now at the time and 2017 u.s. authorities were of course outraged at this and the c.e.o.

richard smith was forced to resign and those u.s. authorities find equifax $700000000.00 a huge amount of course but the announcement today was much more about the actual attackers themselves ok and on that so we know what equifax is doing with all this data what do the hackers want to achieve well i mean a start aside from you know stealing trade secrets and an intellectual property u.s. attorney general william bah so that the aim of the hackers was something quite a bit more mysterious so let's take a listen to him. this data has economic value and these pfaff's can feed china's development of artificial intelligence tools as well as the creation of intelligence targeting packages you know so a seems to be the reason that now apparently after several big attacks the u.s. suspects that china wants to kind of build a picture of u.s.
4:19 am
intelligence networks the people who work for them the people who are associated with them so for example with the equifax data it could be that china wants to target certain members of the public who might be vulnerable to blackmail or bribery ok it's also potentially from a huge amount of cases there what is the u.s. actually hoping to achieve with this investigation well i mean it's clear that they can't just go to china under arrest these people but the f.b.i. deputy director david bowditch said that the case was more about putting pressure on those who commit crimes against the u.s. and i think we can take a listen to a clip of him as well. some might wonder what good it does when these hackers are seemingly beyond our reach we answer this question all the time we try to we can't take them into custody try them in a court of law and lock them up. not today anyway but one day these criminals will slip up and when they do will be there so it's clear he's just calling out china
4:20 am
for its crimes i quite publicly that seems to be the real point really but let's look at the broader picture here this comes at a really offensive time for us chinese trade to tie in the recently seen the signing of a phase one trade deal phase 2 it up coming up is said to contain all the me see if stuff is there any trust left at all between the 2 countries well i mean this seems to be a lot of cognitive dissonance that's the big problem but david bowditch we saw just that he himself said that just because of this case doesn't mean that we have to stop doing business in china or hosting chinese businesses in the u.s. yet this is one of several chinese cyber attacks against the u.s. including on the cia a health insurer and a hotel company and all trying to build up a picture of u.s. intelligence operations but it seems the u.s. is able to separate these things out and continue to do business as usual with trying to defend and indeed anyone to thank so much for your insights. businesses in some parts of china have reopened as the period of self-imposed closures juta

4:22 am
more on this i spoke to our correspondent in new york ian squat to i started by asking him about the chances of opec production. well it's open we have opec on one side and then we have the so-called opec plus group on the other that includes $23.00 nations also russia and especially russia seems to be hesitant to actually cut oil production because what we have seen in the past is when opec plus did cut oil production the u.s. did not actually the united states were pumping more and more oil when opec plus stabilized the prices and well we've seen it in the past couple of months that the united states actually became the biggest oil producer on the planet and so as i said especially russia might be hesitant to cut rates again. ok and say look we're seeing the price of a barrel of crude already under $50.00 how low do you think that this can actually
4:23 am
go well it is clearly possible that we could to retest the lows that we saw at the end of 2018 so all big ben was at around $45.00 so that is the best years intermediate that trades here in new york so that would mean another drop of 10 percent is clearly possible and what we see what's happening with all right now it's not just the demand side out of china we also have less demand here in the united states by the way also for natural gas because we have an unusually mild winter and then when we come on the supply side so we have the united states pumping and pumping and pumping oil so it's that mixture that drives prices higher for quite some time for oil we already had the weakest generally for oil since 1991 and prices just continue dropping yes clinton will change thank you.
