headlines on r.t. international we have an exclusive report from the italian poured out of my. being forced to work for local gangs and that's as the country is on the quote enormous pressure over the. crisis. china ships and jets to ward off a u.s. destroyer that sailed close to the disputed territory in the south china sea raising concerns relations between the two countries are now heading to a new low. branding the c.n.n. news donald trump throws out of the channel launching a hierarchy of tweets including a video of him wrestling against the media outlet. a

very well welcome to you from all of us here at the international in moscow we have your latest world news. well italy is getting rather angry as it seeks support from other european countries over the. crisis it's threatening to close its ports to rescue ships interior minister claims the country is under huge pressure and all of this the country has taken in hundreds of thousands of people who have crossed the mediterranean from africa now according to the un almost eighty four thousand people have arrived at italian ports since the start of this year and some estimates predict the number will reach two hundred twenty thousand by the end of twenty seven he. has been calling on his neighbors to help france's even use drones . trying to slip across the border between both countries. and the crisis gripping

italy reports of a merger that gangs have been increasing their influence in the port. by taking advantage of the refugees. travel to the port and in certain areas used a hidden camera to try and find out exactly what is going on. just behind me is where the famous sicilian. takes place. every day and wine in the day it's a hot spot for tourists in fact they're recommended to go and see the market is one of the things to do here when you're on the island of sicily but at night the market just something completely different and instead of selling fresh produce and fish what's being sold on the streets here dries and the majority of the people selling drugs. africa that's what we've been told by one. film in secret on the streets here that is. very. tough the.

drugs. need to use somebody for so drugs. so in this case in the spirit they are using migrants specific. migrants because there is true she believes in the mafia and the black cat sicily has a history of crime mainly perpetrated by the mafia what's happening now is the ticks teaming up with migrants to me and to tease the main that michael gang is black comics which is forcing new migrants to work for them. for. the new. life you know.

my for you know. my father took my. form. used. don't in mecca refused to join black acts and its activities since then to be bored. and to do. so the hundred spinnin come what to do so how can i feel myself selling drugs is not the only way many my current a force to make money we've been told that many young people are being used for trafficking and prostitution here on the island of sicily and we're told that if we just head down this main street here literally just off this main street is where many of the girls for lying to you in origin selling their bodies you know it's

often know it's the girls refused to talk to me but it's clear the majority are only teenagers for many the reason migrants of forced into this dark wood is the lack of help is available to them where a camp. beds and don't offer. it to the migrants the normal service there are like showers like food sometimes and often people inside these camps almost minors they use it to the side the four to be prostitutes but i think. there is a very strong connection between the condition in the camps and the use of these migrants because where there is a. mafia and all kind of crime organization could be.

there have been many investigations into the profile surrounding drugs only island as well as that of child prostitution but regardless of what the italian authorities. do nothing seems to be able to stamp it out on one of the reasons is because there is a constant source of my kids who are willing to take the place of anybody who's removed from the streets for prostitution or selling drugs this is a problem that seems to have no solution chill it even ski ulti sicily. china has ordered military vessels and jets to warn off an american warship there came within twelve nautical miles of triton island it's part of the disputed power cell island group in the south china sea which china considers its territory and that's why beijing blames the u.s. for violating its territorial waters under the pretext of navigation freedom the u.s. side once again sent

a military vessel into china's territorial waters this constitutes a serious political and military provocation the chinese side is dissatisfied with and opposed to the relevant behavior of the u.s. side the u.s. navy claims its maneuvers in the south china sea were carried out under the freedom of navigation act but it comes as u.s. china relations face a new low one of the trunk presidency and earlier i discussed this matter with r.t. is the. trump sold himself as the man to stand up to china economically he said he was going to bring back american jobs or rather take them back he was going to tax the chinese make it harder for them to make billions and billions in america money. we can't continue to allow china to rape our country at all in china dictating to me as also often happens with trump things quickly changed he's a businessman the chinese of certain you know they've got

a lot to add to america's economy and they can change the slew we became friends and it ended up with donald trump and she being. chocolate cake together i think we're. a tremendous brothers in a relationship with the relationship developed. as it is she and most of it is a. forward. to the future appeared as though all the nightmare scenarios had failed to materialize that all those dire predictions you know were wrong china and the united states were friends almost powells until now now the media is saying the honeymoon is over but are there any other factors potentially influencing what is being called by some a new low in ties between washington and beijing well that's exactly what happened over the last month we had a series of events starting with the chinese claim violation of its territory by

the united states would ship in spotty the islands which china claims in the south china sea then you had the united states listing china as one of the worst human trafficking offenders in the world and i think what really did it is the united states don't trump announcing and he does like selling guns he sold all rather they're planning a deal to sell one point four billion dollars. as with of arms to taiwan which is which china claims or you know says that it's part of china and that certainly the chinese don't are too high you don't be taiwan is an inseparable part of china and we firmly opposed the export of arms to taiwan and we stress that nobody can weaken our determination to uphold the territorial integrity of a sovereign state we oppose any external interference in our domestic affairs in the u.s. to stop arms sales to taiwan and military contacts to avoid any further damage to

our relations it's been something of a roller coaster it's gone from the campaign and dire predictions then to corporation and partnership and now over the span of a month where back down here and you know there's no telling what will happen next donald trump isn't exactly the sort of fellow you can predict this is part of a sparring campaign that i think is going to go on per quite a while this this dispute over who has sovereignty over the south china sea is going to be a with us for years it really doesn't have all the united states because it's on the other side of the world but the u.s. likes to show the flag but china has major interest here because it's got a billion people a huge energy. which it's spending a lot of its foreign earnings importing so a long range if there is energy found in this area it wants to lay claim to it and

of course the u.s. is basically saying we will we will challenge that so i don't know trump's taken of a swipe at the media by posting a mock video of a wrestling match between him and c.n.n. . it wants it will all in one thousand the pasta trump's repeatedly accused c.n.n. of broadcasting fake news about him and the possible ties to russia in a recent tweet he said he was thinking of changing the channels name to fraud news c.n.n. . the fake media tried to stop us from going to the white house when i'm president and they're not i or the fact is the press

has destroyed themselves because they went too far. the c.n.n. responded with its own tweet accusing the president of juvenile behavior and encouraging violence against reporters in the meantime twitter has responded saying the president's post has not violated any of its rules or c.n.n. is not the only one struggling with credibility problems at present as only a trunk over explains they only seem to intensify when it comes to the whole russian narrative. if only it were a fact that russia hacked the u.s. elections that would make some journalist lives so much easier here's something recent from the new york times the american intelligence community has said there were some interference is a fact not an opinion get it fact ok but you still have to explain why something's a fact they chose this report with its many high degree of confidence tags

attention judgments that don't imply that the assessment is a fact while the author of this and why times article got too carried away scroll down correction these says mom was not approved by all seventeen organizations in the american intelligence community though that's what millions of new york times readers were told in the original article at least it got caught with all those pesky fact checkers about life ain't that easy yet in school they taught me about the world's most respected news organizations like the times associated press but what do i see now on a.p.'s website that very same clarification correction for four stories over a period of three months you bet that correction didn't reach as many people and a piece of describers as the original four wires last week we got a glimpse into how stories with the hash tag russia and trump are done on c.n.n.

the morning c.n.n. constantly russia the first with. this ratings but honestly i think. it's just like. most of the you know we don't know and. john. proof this video was leaked after another c.n.n. online piece about trump's russia ties trump's associate has met a c.e.o. of a russian investment fund that headline would make the internet go. it's but guess what it turned out to be false the article was were cracked it completely no corrections had three c.n.n. staff members resigned well you can only learn from your mistakes just don't be so shy owning up to it the associated press news agency recently made clarifications regarding the serval stories have published on russia's suppose it meddling in the us elections we've also lost them to clarify why they repeatedly run stories

stating what they admitted to be at the end of the day as foldes fact so far we've had no response but all to tell it blames an overall fall in the quality of investigative journalism. sad fact of you know wife since about one thousand nine hundred nine is that instead of having newsrooms filled with empowered investigative journalists with budgets the mainstream media has cut back on that so that even c.n.n. doesn't really have that many investigative journalists there nor does the new york times i think that's evident in their reporting it's going to take a while to turn the trend around in the case of c.n.n. we are talking as regards trump and indeed as against the conservative elements of the united states of america of a nonstop this information campaign and when it comes to trump spewing fraudulent nonsense about you know what had happened in the election and after the election they have severely lost their way which is evidenced i think in the long term trend in their viewership but let's remember this is the network admittedly they later

fired kathy griffin for holding up severed head of our president and c.n.n. the same network his complaining about a cartoon i mean give me a break this is not international thanks for joining us so off the program today more news in just. in case you're new to the this is how it works mark economy is built around core reason preparation from washington to washington. voters elect. obama's come from business because. it's not business as usual it's business like it's never been done before. one of the biggest challenges that any investigators face in dealing with cyber

crime is. who did it where did it come from and as we've seen with many of these attacks i mean you've mentioned one across the recent run somewhere it's still unclear where that originated from so our clear message to government is to work together around the world to minimize this risk to grow those relationships and make sure that diplomacy is the key to everything. good to have you with us today wiki leaks chief julian assange has lashed out at a number of media outlets with which he claims have been calling for his assassination he made a number of posts on twitter under the hashtag tolerant liberal the whistleblower

e tweeted a number of articles and clips in which death threats were made against him he claimed the outlets a biased as they go along with the very worst elements of state power and that they love censorship he said he was simply being targeted for telling the truth former m i five intelligence officer believes the media is actually retaliating for hillary clinton's last in the presidential election. he's highlighting and i think it is that rather than the republicans in america who have always been calling for this now it will say what he calls the torrent liberals the democratic party type people in america saying exactly the same things because they feel that he damaged the electoral chances of hillary clinton in the election last year and despite what he says at them and despite other evidence coming out that it was in fact not a hack. the democratic movement in america seems to be pursuing him actually much more vigorously than i have in the past so he's probably feeling under threat from i see the republican establishment and the democratic establishment american

philosopher chomsky features in the latest episode of our contact program where he defines exactly what neo liberalism is the full interview of a liberal on our website and on r.t. america's you tube page basically the idea is private is reduce the rule of the public institutions. deregulate to. permit to infect encourage the growth of natural institutions the. policies of this kind of the ideology he claims it's increasing freedom so actually increasing. it means that instead of decisions and choices being made in the public arena we are the public in principle has something to rule the state to the degree that the state is democratic may be an actual rule shifting it to private

tyrannies corporate sector. the russian foreign ministry has condemned what it calls a smear campaign against the syrian government ministries spokeswoman barrios a however was referring to a video circulating online claiming to show the aftermath of a chemical weapons attack ordered by president assad. the social media smear campaign under the banner assad used chemical weapons has now started just as we predicted you'll see more of this fake videos over the following days the complain this plan to be on a grand scale it is purporting to show victims of a chemical attack started to flood social media on saturday and it came not long after the white house cues the syrian government actually preparing to use chemical weapons but syrian journalist i let you play him believes the accusation makes no sense mr. sarong issued a statement denying any use of chemical weapons saying that this actually is

a well known tactic used by terrorist groups according to the statement of the syrian army when these groups feel that they are on the fallback they try to stage chemical attacks to stop the army from advancing if we're going to discuss the circumstances surrounding these attacks but it doesn't make a lot of sense for the syrian government when swimming near the town when achieving actually substantial most regain to more than one from that it would do something that would enable the rebels to benefit from international support which would actually force the army to bring its operations into complete. so it seems there's just no stopping the german footballing machine the world cup holders have now added the confederations cup to their trophy cabinet after seeing off chile in the final sunday's game and some petersburg only sold one goal after germany seized on a mistake by the chilean defense right outside the box despite a number of decent challenges chances

a chile just couldn't seem to get themselves back into the game earlier in the day portugal beat mexico two one in extra time to take third place in the tournament and there was a charged atmosphere throughout the match which saw two red cards. and former england striker stan collymore who have been covering the championship will be looking at the best moments of our coverage they've also been meeting some of those who played a special part of the proceeds. come on. he's not. only not he's not. come see you i like the sound i. like the. clean. coal. suit you eat oh i really want to focus on the polls because we've had such good fun i mean

the last month we added great fun so let's just walk through this one last time before we head back over to england one of the highlights for you lots of different things to talk about fans the football cultural aspects even the food was very good she can say. twenty first century take a look at. the last election of. the snap. oh. this is the king state one of the most famous in the world rican say the way helped. form the race track over to i was mostly the kids. and the push here. from the sky. was.

full full the long haul. if you get caught up in the vote it's been great fun but we really have to go for me. to come here is as a tourist primarily a cut up white to come back and i will come back. i am. so sorry i just lost racists and here you can spend some other chances of a defeat. on the slate you know you expect you were told he would keep hearing the

race the hooligans they're everywhere looking where are they i mean we've spoken to people from the guardian we've spoken say family groups in the poll just ground the call in some places. you have to look at things in context all they're a group of in virtually every european country yes unfortunately going to the sports i've seen england fans misbehave on toll's red squares like this one pope's balls have seen german fans do it french fans do it i mean last year the whole narrative about russia being a bad place to call. is a round fifty two one hundred eighty it's tied themselves onto football clubs the only thing really left for us to decide is he gets to keep the ball those famous signatures the stan collymore signature michael and i'm just seeing now on e.-bay how much i can get you can you can help me with more you are so funny and so generous i tell you what stand will be able to string a few more presenters the senior policeman for the world cup thank you but you're definitely in the running to very well listen and say about

a fantastic song genuinely an aussie thank you for inviting me. to be able to do this all again at the world cup next year. thanks for joining us on this monday here on r.t. international europe's tourism is experiencing and i'm president of cities like venice boss alone or in dubrovnik can no longer cope with the crowds so we ask for the actual profit here. tourist go home next on this trip. here's what people have been saying about rejected in the us exactly just pull along awesome the only show i go out of my way to launch you know what it is that

really packs a punch. yampa is the john oliver of r t america is doing the same we are apparently better than two thousand. and c. people you've never heard of love redacted tonight not the president of the world bank though. because many send us an e-mail. seems wrong but all those just don't call. me. yet to shape out just. to educate and indeed try to be close to trail. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. deceptively peaceful. venice it's peaceful hours are numbered.

bossa luna is also steeling itself in the early morning. three unique cities in europe with one problem the skidding woods all the time. that we have but yes you know what i'm that benny hill. there's not so many things that you put it yeah. i did a city did to close but could play in fifteen zero with colds of tourists every day the whole year round the peak season in some cities in europe results in the state of emergency. the best they became national get out because of this and also china caused the share going to. place

a couple stories on the. local residents suffer from the mass of this it's because they feel pushed out robbed of their own city how worried by noise and simply swamped by phone too many visitors. to. go to resume is going beyond old bell it's not just in venice but the locals are not giving up without a fight. if they're for the. moment. to show you how bob made you feel. city tourism in europe is booming as never before fueled by aggressive pries

dumping budget flights and the sharing economy trend which offers cheap accommodation worldwide. how all the authorities dealing with the onslaught in one post so i could get i'm not sure because i want to combine you have fema cousin releasing it to the national council basically combining fitness fish as the only juggler to fit the fish or the rest of it in the city as an expanding business model with customers instead of this it has but how many tourists can a travel destination cope with without losing its identity its all them to city and does the enterprise end up in profit. up your baby. that the cat outlook on our clothes and all that. just. change on me only the elderly de beauty. and the city coffers despite must tourism so what happens to all the money brought by the millions of visitors that is embodied the man until that one at that at what

is the got that will have an app that adds up or break the sense that we're s.t.l. when i get out when i see oh yes. it went just back when i see oh isn't that anyone that actually has a. tourism in europe generates four hundred billion euros a year of the ratios market and the whole of shady business of roads and gamblers of gambling with few winners and many lose. the bustle and they to destruct one swarm of boss alone as poorest in shabbiest areas the photographer he sends for now knew the place when it was still home to three thousand fishermen. bustling nato was always a workers district which attracted people from outside looking for work so. strangers are actually nothing new but in the meantime things have gone too far for the fifteen thousand inhabitants of bustling may to be senseful now understands his

neighbors concern. but are not out for a festival offer for i didn't write it no more name and tombstones anymore if there's nothing in your and i need a good example it tears up high traffic. i mean i know that's good damn good battery acid i'm back and if. there's one thing i don't ask i'll never use when i get in there aren't enough. but mass tourism has not come about by chance a lot of people have lived in wasilla netto all their lives now they're worried about their district which for a long time was not touched by tourism in the last fifteen years though bustling data has developed into a magnet for tourists because it's a perfect combination of city and see since the beach and brahmananda were remodeled bus of the native has become a favorite destination and not just for the local population young people and

particularly often come for a weekend trip to party. their lines of a flights to barcelona for less than twenty euros online websites like abby n b provide cheap overnights in private homes the slogan welcome home. photos by the sense for now document the changes in his district. a couple of years ago one of his photos made him famous overnight. a group of male tourists fooling around. the photo when global as far as australia the problems of mass tourism in the mediterranean city were brought into sharp focus in boston. anita the picture spotted outcry the last straw for the locals. from.

you know the medici. want to show off. but we're. going to. have money for us that she oughtn't. but i want to i don't know but i am sure. the defeat to send a clear signal tourists are destroying the neighborhood they should respect the district or else. the locals particularly angry that. saw turning into home today apartments and that's pushing up rents the banners cool and visitors to stay in hotels and leave the flats for the locals. so that either one of yours are either

from the government but i'm leaving the country that you're not. with your agreement with the project but the. better you. can read the. section. most inhabitants of boss of and awarded that they'll soon no longer be able to afford their own district a justified concern since in other districts a bus alone a single whom's are providing two dwellings for tourists as in the old quarter for example in derry go to one outspoken critic of the situation has been an activist and is now the new mayor of bus alone i guess that we're going to put him back make them not get caught up with him accept that a massive. that it's better that i say that i'm more than that what is much of a policeman myself like that when his mother said that. i meant that i may address

on another as yet you stick up see no they're not facts but i was pushing that i am somebody yes you talk as if we've got as my colleagues at school my desert at the high peak and generally it was an enormous will visit us. venice theme park the fears of other callao meet with incomprehension from venice is man. they took it up his quota joining this into their butts alone a problem a bit i thought i could lay for about a mile of force even to get at it but being the sort of a man. named as it will show that it was only on our own that is born this year what about your national accord that all the levy thousand we. are they want to bet us that she thought she called the mandate she felt at home by the out of the what they could but they no closure of all go away. but does the

man knew his own city he's been in office for a year he's an entrepreneur and then is his first man who doesn't live in the historic center but on the mainland venice is way beyond the phase basile in there is currently undergoing the number of people living in the historic center has steadily declined since nine hundred fifty from one hundred seventy five thousand back then to just fifty five thousand today the swamped by the stream of visitors how many actually come nobody knows for sure the city only counts overnight stays no day visitors. of it still have meant about going into i said that i did then get up the suggest i said me if you want us to get a c. and if we need to come here. one day in the. noise made you want to. think you're done had manage about kind of last minute we need to find them and i need a massive. damage. being that of us about. the figure

is confirmed by the nature conservation organization italian nostra the millions of visitors don't bring in much to the city's coffers the mainly daytrippers who don't pay tourist tax that's only due for stays above twelve hours but the private sector has a massive turnover one point eight billion euros a year and that's official. venice has always been a popular destination but it was the advent of mass tourism and changed the city forever the foundation for this was laid by men. in one nine hundred ninety s. he propagated privatization as a way of relieving the city's strained finances venice opened its doors to global capital that. petra risky is

a german journalist and although who's lived in venice for twenty five years she's witnessed how the city has sold off its palazzi prada properties chinese investors benetton and many others. are also needed to mountain benetton it's going to get down off by. the dutch and. doubt that would entail i saw founded as a school that's inside thinking janya it's on. for novels but for risky conduct research into mafia circles into the quagmire of political troops and corruption. she knows the tricks investors use to turn to the updated housing. protected buildings in venice into gold mines the magic phrases change in designated use but this requires political approval.

the boy had to have the help convent in the senate they had to. invent much what's in the deal and specially in this. stuff dad is a nixon spitting and not. done to shaft me demanding the name of the law relating to the change in use councils the protected building provision doesn't regulate what can be sold in the venerable building so the world heritage site is true with stuff. you think that you. legal. and that you. need to. cheat any cure them. that. they.

now want to see that i'm not still. here all. we need. a lot of. money. plus the. magnificent. food. they mustn't be really nice and friendly in my conformance they're welcome and. thing. there you go it's pretty good pretty good the good guys does think it is not a very enjoyable place to be in the middle of her friend like a pole but i see any size that doesn't come close to you the number one little

baby's amazing relates to some basic go through each step good coach go sell yourself there nice little girl over here we're very glad that the fires have been here which are there still think i'm still. a bachelor sudden passing i've only just learnt you worry yourself in taking your last turn. you're at caught up to us we all knew it would i tell you i'm sorry for me i could so i write these last words and hopes to put to rest these things that i never got off my chest. i remember when we first met my life turned on each breath. but then my feelings started to change you talked about war like it was a cave still some are fond of you those that didn't like to question our ark and i secretly promised to never be like it said one does not leave a funeral the same as one enters the mind gets consumed with death this one quite

different i speak to you now because there are no other takers. to the claim that mainstream media has met its make. one of the biggest challenges that any investigators face in dealing with cyber crime is a profession who did it why did it come from and as we've seen with many of these attacks when you've mentioned one across the recent one somewhere attack it's still unclear where that originated from so our clear message to government is to work together around the world to minimize this risk to grow those relationships and make sure that diplomacy is the k. to everything. the cities direction seems to have been decided on hope. yes despite negative headlines . for years and vironment activist thomaso cut charlie

who lives in venice has been consumed with the negative consequence scrooges tourism has for his city. and i mean they're going to. get an all. good done all i'm doing. a lot of joe committed a lot of watching c.n.n. ok though of this quality mentality. we mad soul spall still no body. being told what part of the handle the strain that they think that she made to be doc why depended on the starts. giving little spin control that should. be going to relieve your biological drive from them into it believing going on a national. level that. the vast wash still is up the muddy seabed undermining again and again the foundations of the city is built on piles. and the city itself is not the main profit maker from cruise

tourism as the v t p come live. a private offshoot of the public pool to authority. that. is three percent of the stuff is the infinity and see me through the senate has come up multiple given x. yet in the what i've said a veto that you. see is being split up and that's when the switch it up and i see only what i think that. a ballot but all of it for but she didn't say it of a. look at him with the mathematics finance the id. switch it up it's the only but i'm de meo in the a widow. but i get a bum. you know. the precise tune of is kept dark the portal thora he chose not to comment. is hardly surprised since he too

gets no information from them that's why he's helped set up an action group in venice. its slogan. a new crew ships demonstrating on the banks of the g. deck or come out which is passed through up to twenty times a day by ocean going giant is entering and leaving the pool the protesters want to stop the huge ships sailing through the lagoon all together they should use an alternative route and outside the city today the activists are planning a secret rather precarious operation but i love the time lol well mary knocked up go out me with a now the. great thing now be settled down the better. but they're not all bad so no if true going on at all thank god i think all three made me feel enough to fill me the rest and now be so knocked up i'll get out on the

green and look up when you want to quit but now the green they need to be so disobedient to make what the to be to me don't come all the equipment now the demonstrators intend to block the canal and prevent three cruise ships leaving. it's not only in venice that cruise tourism is seriously damaging the environment german is nature conservation union has criticised the lack of exhaust purification on the ships worldwide the fuel by heavy oil which emits a hundred times the pollutants of standard truck diesel. we get a phone or a good dinner at a mob. they don't jordan not being opened by. me yes and if the. they were definitely finance the idea that abby that. it was bad for the logic that if richard that he. then isn't alone in choosing

a private sector structure for its poor. lowness pull out europe's biggest for cruise ships is also partially privatized the city was not always so attractive to tourists the turning point was the one thousand nine hundred two olympic games around two billion was invested in road building hotels and remodelling the coast. with twelve international concerns the city undertook the biggest marketing program in its history. it was not long before property prices rocketed. one example in one thousand nine hundred four the ritz carlton group opened a luxury arts hotel the building cost one hundred thirty eight million euros twelve years later it was sold to a single pool based international consortium for four hundred seventeen million euros over three times as much but has meant that council dinners and yet we're

going to leave adelaide to see only a phenomenon that i've had to see out i'm going to split because it was here last fall democrat at the gas company of asked i want to split us finances a couple of deals. that russell dallas cannot deny look at and i said m.p. so i'm not interested i'm saying marci and honest that it got out of that office here that we know as they want to have better manners than us and the sun and all the while i see it that a couple dozen then and i think that's not a couple of fit once again as i think that has put the us. in the meantime property prices have also risen in other districts of boss alone the result of gentrification as in every major city districts change the character new restaurants open up and. the place is such a cool. if in addition the city is this popular tourist destination this bus aluna the tourism intensifies the effect.

that a city with that misandry x. if i didn't blatter got a look at is that they don't have a sample that i'm blessed with that i'm as i don't go out can i buy from café i cannot afford the twenty asked and i am old i mean that will. last is a classic i don't buy sad story steve i'm most but i was caught he seems pretty big but i was my age that i see it that easy i'm glad he's gotten back at the sets but now you cannot that i have able to get out of sight out there that last a man ima get up enough to get him an effective i surely am that i don't bad mouth that ugly smile. broke out of all that matter what but definitely i meant no hissing ghettoes yesterday steps that i don't believe i'm going to see it that same but at the very same but i'm up a lot of the don imus who is right if i'm able to use this stuff. the catalan architect daveed bravo still regularly comes to the boulevard on my best then

sprawl. and i have seen enough and see up this morning voted on by pull it off and show nails i don't like it as premises of conflict that is you know that must happen is that i me then. got there also and i guess i must because of the respect i showed up and. people were laughing that in all interconnects them a good reason not just because of. the number of visitors to barcelona just keeps on rising in the year two thousand and three million and twenty seventeen the city is expecting. ten million tourists. an additional problem is that the tourists tend to keep to a small area they stay in the old center stroll up and down the rumble us and visit

the famous market nearby for tourists it reflects everything they expect from an authentic mediterranean place but they rarely come to buy vegetables meat all fish for the week. a lot of stool holders have already adjusted their range of goods you can only survive here if you adapt to the needs of the tourists. the whole hampshire takes are often just for decoration and photo ops some traders though i'm resisting the trend especially those who still remember how the market used to be. like this and.

opened in eighteen forty. wasn't too recent is the main market for the inhabitants of dos alone dotted bravo like shopping in the market hold steeped in tradition nowadays he only comes to conduct studies. i mean men. but i get people out of the. one man's hand if i want to. ask. you about it you know it's all coming. out and. i want to. i want to say i want to say i'll start messing up. one public space is increasing. strict id and globalised cities lose an important cultural resource and ultimately then i teach you to life.

saturday morning in the historic center of dubrovnik only a thousand people live twenty years ago it was five times as many. one of the few people to have lived abroad and returned to their home city is cultural anthropologist to haleigh. she's interested in the effect of mass tourism has on the cultural identity of citizens and represents to both make in the european cultural parliament at the weekend she likes to get to know the market traders personally for us though is that fair price is that the local must sell to tourists in the south what they sell if they sell things i wonder whether they give me food though that i don't like the wrong side of. like parts of. venice the old quarter of. the city wools is

a willed cultural heritage site the city was already a popular tourist destination before nine hundred ninety since the end of the croatian war it's rapidly developed into a magnet for visitors april to october sees an average of one point seven million tourists up to fifteen thousand on some days most arriving on cruise ships. would only cost me some that for example chanel get out of their cars are such even more. putting out because i just don't only. see it come back amazing that stuff of a chill i miss it a stunningly. just in that moment only focus on the slash and get out of them in such a. zen now as to the government chiming in on straight. then after the physics come back i'll be all going to chair class and i'll post a diagram having a lot of i do mostly symbolic like i do from montana chan are saying that

a couple of months ago on them you would look like a mess when i was really sad to go then it had to go to not someone i was real. goes through sleeman i feel more you turned it over on me can i would she feel the studio now to negotiate the much of this will be able to own some. stimulus will start a war suppose oh to all someone who would only be there when they put him you know i'm not in a good an aerobic would never take up too easily put a chance to see most of them the president should know me be not to get it so this was of to roast it was speak. with lol make this manufacture consent to stick to the public well. when the ruling classes protect themselves. with the final merry go round listen to the one percent.

we can all middle of the room sick. real news group. yet there is a saying. i think they're on the cheap too now and then through and through all the country stuff let's ideas in their right to go to a skeptic he said cheerfully give them everything to do the best. in. this country. this is what we don't understand how we are in such as. country.

similar. to the us if you feel. the middle of not that got. to with the phone about the couple with the plane. would come to the place story you'd have to see. the best to keep you moving. welcome to the wonderful world of blood donation i come here every three weeks to get my transfusion to be specific i receive immunoglobulin my body gets and some bodies that i cannot produce itself around the world giving blood is seen as a symbol of generosity no one does this because it helps people it's just that one of the side effects is that it. applies more. to put money on your car radio we don't have all plasma based drugs today come from private

companies and are produced from paid plasma small conference in rome or. one of the risks of paid donation in it then is proof that the frequency of pathologies is much higher in paid donations and it. if i was lying when i. moved over two years old he will go get the money from the federal and who runs the blood business. same prong. just don't call. me. yet. to shape out. comes out to it and it. equals betrayal.

when so many find themselves worlds apart. just to look for common ground the one. headlines international we have an exclusive report from the italian. migrants are being forced to work. outside the country is under enormous pressure over the. crisis. china ships jets to warn off. that sailed close to disputed territory in the south china sea raising concerns relations between the countries are now heading to a new low. and after branding c.n.n. news donald trump throws an uppercut at the channel launching a. video of him wrestling against the media outlet.

me day in moscow thanks for joining us it's r.t. international. italy is getting rather angry as a seek support from other european countries over the ongoing migrant crisis it's threatening to close its ports to the rescue ships now the interior minister claims the country is under huge pressure well all of this as the country has taken in hundreds of thousands of people who have crossed the mediterranean from africa according to the u.n. almost eighty four thousand people have arrived at italian ports just since the start of the year and some estimates predict the number will reach two hundred twenty thousand by the end of twenty seventeen and italy has been calling on its neighbors to help france has been using drones and dogs to hunt down those trying to slip over the border between the countries. so with a crisis gripping italy reports have now emerged that mass gangs have been

increasing their influence in the. early by taking advantage of the refugees. who travel to the port and in certain areas used a hidden camera to find out exactly what is going on. just behind me is where the famous sicilian. takes place. every day and while in the day it's a hot spot for tourists in fact they're recommended to go and see the market is one of the things to do when you're on the island of sicily but at night the market turns into something completely different and instead of selling fresh produce and fish what's being sold on the streets is hard drugs and the majority of the people selling drugs. africa that's what we've been told by one local journalist francesco. we film in secret with him on the streets. trafficking. drugs. need

to use. they are using. specific. to sicily has a history of crime mainly perpetrated by the mafia what's happening now is the ticks teeming with migrants to kerri-anne criminal activities the main gang blackouts which is forcing new migrants to work for them. of my my for. my for to.

to it's my. for. don't in mecca refused to join black x. and its activities. to do so how can i feel myself selling drugs is not the only way many my current a force to make money we've been told many young people are being used for trafficking and prostitution here only in the system and we're told that if we just head down this main street here literally just off this main street is where many of the bills for line to origin selling their bodies know it's often know it's the girls refused to talk to me but it's clear the majority are only teenagers for many

the reason migrants of forced into this dark wood is the lack of help is available to them where a camp. beds. to the. migrants and enormous service like there are like showers like food sometimes and often people inside these camps almost miners are using. the four to be prostitutes but i think it is. there is a very strong connection between the condition in the camps and the use of these migrants because where there is a. kind of crime. could be war there have been many investigations into the procul surrounding drugs on the

island as well as that of child prostitution but regardless of what the italian authorities do nothing seems to be able to stamp it out on one of the reasons is because there is a constant source of migrants who are willing to take the place of anybody who's removed from the streets for prostitution selling drugs this is a problem that seems to have no solution chill it even ski ulti sicily. china has ordered military vessels and jets to ward off an american a warship that came within twelve nautical miles of triton island it's part of a disputed power cell island group in the south china sea which china considers to be its territory and that is why beijing blames the u.s. for violating its territorial waters under the pretext of navigation freedom the u.s. side once again sent a military vessel into china's territorial waters this constitutes a serious political and military provocation the chinese side is dissatisfied with

and opposed to the relevant behavior of the u.s. side u.s. navy claims as maneuvers in the south china sea were carried out under the freedom of navigation act but it comes as u.s. china relations face a new low one to trump's presidency the earlier in the program i discussed this with artie's my dad goes to. trump sold himself as the man to stand up to china economically he said he was going to bring back american jobs or rather take them back he was going to tax the chinese make it harder for them to make billions and billions in america money. we can't continue to allow china to rape our country at all in china dictating to me as also often happens with trump things quickly change he's a businessman the chinese of certain you know they've got a lot to add to america's economy and things change they slowly became friends and

it ended up with donald trump and she jinping eating chocolate cake together i think we have. a tremendous brothers in a relationship with the relationship. as it is she and most of it is a stay. for the big. or the future appeared as though all the nightmare scenarios had failed to materialize that all those dire predictions you know were wrong china and the united states were friends almost pounds until now now the media is saying the honeymoon is over but what are there any other factors potentially influencing what is being called by some a new low in ties between washington and beijing well that's exactly what happened over the last month we had a series of events starting with chinese claim violation of its territory by the united states will ship in spotty the islands which china claims in the south china

sea then you had the united states listing china as one of the worst human trafficking offenders in the world and i think what really did it is the united states don't trump announcing and he does like selling guns east sold all rather they're planning a deal to sell one point four billion dollars. as with of arms to taiwan which is which china claims or you know says that it's part of china and that certainly the chinese are too high you don't be taiwan is an inseparable part of china and we firmly opposed the export of arms to taiwan so we stress that nobody can weaken our determination to uphold the territorial integrity of a sovereign state we oppose any external interference in our domestic affairs in the u.s. to stop arms sales to taiwan and military contacts to avoid any further damage to our relations it's been something of

a roller coaster it's gone from the campaign and dire predictions then to cooperation and partnership and now over the span of a month webb back down here and you know there's no telling what will happen next donald trump isn't exactly the sort of fellow you can predict this is part of a sparring campaign that i think is going to go on for a quite a while this this dispute over who has sovereignty over the south china sea is going to be a with us for years it really doesn't involve the united states because it's on the other side of the world but the u.s. likes to show the flag but china has major interest here because it's got a billion people a huge energy. which it's spending a lot of its foreign earnings importing so a long range if there is energy found in this area it wants to lay claim to it and of course the u.s.

is basically saying we will we will challenge that donald trump's take another swipe at the media by posting a mock video of a wrestling match between him and c.n.n. . i on two thousand in the past traumas repeatedly accuse c.n.n. of broadcasting fake news about him and all the possible ties to russia in a recent tweet he said he was thinking of changing the channels name to fraud news c.n.n. . the fake media tried to stop us from going to the white house. when i'm president and they're not. the fact is the press has destroyed themselves because they went too

far. with c.n.n. it responded with its own tweet accusing the president of juvenile behavior and of encouraging violence against reporters in the meantime twitter has responded saying the president's post has not violated any of its rules well c.n.n. is not the only one struggling with credibility problems these days as if a trend or explains they only seem to intensify when it comes to the russian narrative. if only it were a fact that russia hacked the u.s. elections that would make some journalists lot of so much easier here's something recent from the new york times the american intelligence community has said there were some interference is a fact not an opinion get it fact ok but you still have to explain why something's a fact they chose this report with its many high degree of confidence tags attention judgments that don't imply that the assessment is

a fact while the author of this and why times article got too carried away scroll down correction the assessment was not approved by all seventeen organizations in the american intelligence community though that's what millions of new york times readers were told in the original article at least it got caught with all those pesky fact checkers about life ain't that easy yet in school they taught me about the world's most respected news organizations like the times associated press but what do i see now a.p.'s website that very same clarification the correction for four stories. over a period of three months you bet that correction didn't reach as many people ed a piece of describers as the original four wires last week we got a glimpse into how stories with the hash tag russia and trump are done on c.n.n. live on c.n.n. constantly write russia the structure the. business ratings but honestly if you

think. it's just like. it's mostly the right you know we don't have. john. proof this video was leaked after another c.n.n. online piece about trump's russia ties trump's associate has met a c.e.o. of a russian investment fund that headline would make the internet go nuts but guess what it turned out to be false the article was were cracked it completely no corrections had three c.n.n. staff members resigned well you can only learn from your mistakes just don't be so shy owning up to what. the associated press news agency recently made clarifications regarding several stories are published on russia's supposedly meddling in the us elections we've also asked them to clarify why they repeatedly run stories stating what they meant it to be at the end of the day folds facts

we've had no response so far but all the child will tell blames and overall for all in the quality of investigative journalism sad fact of you know wife since about nine hundred ninety nine is that instead of having newsrooms filled with empowered investigative journalists with budgets the mainstream media has cut back on that so that even c.n.n. doesn't really have that many investigative journalists there nor does the new york times i think that's evident in their reporting it will take a while to turn the trend around in the case of c.n.n. we are talking as regards trump and indeed as against the conservative elements of the united states of america of a nonstop this information campaign and when it comes to trump spewing fraudulent nonsense about you know what happened in the election and after the election they've severely lost their way which is evidenced i think in the long term trend in their viewership but let's remember this is the network admittedly they later fired kathy griffin for holding up

a mock severed head of our president and c.n.n. the same network is complaining about a cartoon i mean give me a break quarter past the hour here in the russian capital julian asked sanchez the lashed out of certain media outlets in the wake of assassination of threats that story right after the break. i. i.

one of the biggest challenges that any investigators face in dealing with cyber crime is. who did it where did it come from and as we've seen with many of these attacks and you've mentioned one across the recent run somewhere attack it's still unclear where that originated from so our clear message to government is to work together around the world to minimize this risk to grow those relationships and make sure that diplomacy is the key to everything. thanks for joining us for the program wiki leaks chief julian assange chose the last hour for the number of media outlets which he claims have been calling for his assassination and made a number of posts on twitter under the hashtag tolerant liberal for the whistleblower reid tweeted a number of articles and clips in which death threats were made against him he

claimed the outlets are biased as they go along with the very worst elements of state power and they love censorship he said he was simply being targeted for telling the truth and former m i five intelligence officer an emotional believes the media is retaliating for hillary clinton's loss in the presidential election highlighting and then which i think is that rather than the republicans in america who have always been calling for this now it will say what he calls the torrent liberals the democratic party type people in america saying exactly the same things because they feel that he damaged the electoral chances of hillary clinton in the election last year and despite what he says that and despite other evidence coming out that it was in fact. democratic movement in america seems to be pursuing him actually much more vigorously than you have in the past so he's probably feeling under threat from both see the republican establishment and the democratic establishment. american philosopher chomsky features in the latest

episode of our on contact program where he defined exactly what neo liberalism is and the full interview available on our website and on our t.v. america's you tube page. basically the idea is private is to reduce the rules of the public institutions. to regulate to. permit to infect encourage the growth of natural institutions the. policies of this kind as the ideology claims it's increasing freedom so actually increasing. it means that instead of decisions and choices being made in the public arena we are the public in principle has some role in the state to the degree that the state is democratic maybe an actual shifting it to private. corporate sector. but if

asked here in moscow the russian foreign ministry has condemned what it calls a smear campaign against the syrian government the ministries spokeswoman marie are so hot i was referring to the videos circulating online claiming to show the aftermath of a chemical weapons attack ordered by president assad. the social media smear campaign under the banner assad used chemical weapons has now started just as we predicted you'll see more of this fake videos over the following days the complain this plans to be on a grand scale the videos purporting to show victims of a chemical attack suddenly flooding social media outlets on saturday ok not long after the white house had accused the syrian government of actually being prepared to bring in preparation to use chemical weapons that syrian journalist alibris him believes the accusation it just makes no sense. mr cleaver command of the sarong issued

a statement denying any use of chemical weapons saying that this actually is a world known tactic used by dong terrorist groups according to statement of the syrian army when these groups feel that they are on the fallback they try to stage chemical attacks to stop the army from advancing if we're going to discuss the circumstances surrounding these attacks but it doesn't make a lot of sense for the syrian government when swimming in achieving actually substantial most real games are more than one from that it would do something that would enable the rebels to benefit from international support which would actually force the army to bring its operations into a complete halt. there's no stopping the german footballing machine the world cup holders have now added the confederations cup to their trophy cabinet after seeing off chile in the final sunday's game it's in petersburg only saw one goal of the germany seized on a mistake by the chilean defense right outside the box despite a number of decent chances a chill

a just couldn't get themselves back into the game earlier in the day portugal beat mexico two to one in extra time to take third place in the tournament and there was a charged atmosphere throughout the match which saw two red cards. neil harvey and former england striker stan collymore who have been covering the championship have been looking back at the best moments of our coverage they've also been meeting some of those who played a special part in the proceedings. i'm all the time but i. see my. family now my name is not. from c.l. i like the stone i think this place is clean. coal. they say cheap easy oh i really want to focus on

the polls because we've had such good fun i mean the last month we added great fun so let's just walk through this beautiful spot one last time before we head back off to england one of the highlights for you lots of different things to talk about fans the football cultural aspects even the food was very good she can say. point to her saying trying to take a look at. the last election. was a snap. oh. this is making state one of the most famous in the world rican say wait. for the race truck over to i was the beautiful see the kid says. the push here. from the sky. we could

see. the. full full the long haul. it's been great fun but we really have to go for me. to come here is as a tourist primarily a cut up white to come back and i will come back. i am. so sorry i just. clicked. on the slate you know you expect you were told to keep hearing the racist

they're everywhere. spoken to people from the god. family groups in the pub just ground the cold in some places. you have to look at things in context all they're a group of in virtually every european country yes unfortunately going to the sport of seeing england fans misbehave on red squares like this one pope's balls obscene german funny french fans do it. the whole narrative about russia being a bad place to call. these around fifty to one hundred eighty it's the attack themselves. of basically sold a very very strong team and. we're all going to get you when you step off the plane i'll leave it to you to decide no ax to grind with any russian vietnamese american british or french and i find out for myself we. russia we

thought maybe the bad. if they were still. friendly. he. would come back. the only thing really left for us to decide is he gets to pull those famous signatures to stand for michael. just see now in the bay how much i could get that means you can if you can help me with more question you all so i'm so generous i'll tell you what stand will be able to sing if you will present just to see not listening to the accompaniment and you would definitely be in the running if you don't very well want to listen inside about a fantastic song genuinely and all say thank you for invoicing make me no she won't be able to do this all again the next you'll. be. wanting us here and also international is coming up next a sufficient announce a cyst on with the un cyber security chief to discuss how to protect yourself from

various forms of hock attacks thanks for watching. here's what people have been saying about redacted in the night the senate is full on awesome the only show i go out of my way to launch you know what it is that really packs a punch simply yampa is the john oliver of r t america is doing the same we are apparently better than food. and see people you never heard of love redacted tonight not the president of the world bank so ok because many serious like send us an e-mail. in case you're new to the game this is how it works not the economy is built around corporations perforations from washington the washington post media

the media the. voters elect who is meant to run this country business because. you must it's not business as usual it's business like it's never been done before. welcome to so sam killen sophie shevardnadze digital technology unprecedented opportunity in our lives but it also creates more targets for cyber criminals says everything iran to us is connected it all can be hacked so will our reliance on gadgets make us fatally to cyber crime will i ask neil walsh the u.s. cyber crimes are. a touch after attack cyber

criminals are plunging government into chaos paralyzing corporations and disrupting people's everyday lives as more and more devices and services go online becoming an easy target for hackers worldwide so how vulnerable are states and businesses to the actions of crypto criminals can critical infrastructure be protected from online assaults and what happens if malicious software into the wrong here. neil wallis chief of the united nations global program on cyber crime welcome to the program it's really great to have you with us now neil de lay has been a crime story has been they want to cry attack in a federal lots of countries and damage key infrastructure but the software the cyber weapon behind the want to cry virus was actually reportedly devout by the u.s. government and stolen by hackers so why aren't cyber weapons guarded as tightly as

missiles or tanks. sophie thanks for giving me the time to talk with you today i think you raise an important point i obviously couldn't give you any specific detail on the original of the exploit because that's simply something that's been reported in the press and i have not seen the original of that however would have dos show us i think is the need for governments to work clearly together to help minimize the risk of exploitation of difficulties in technical attacks on software well i mean a cyber weapon is basically finding a flaw or a hole in software right so if the government develops a cyber weapon it knows about software issues why not tell its allies why not tell the software company why make a weapon out of it i think that's a question that you have to address to individual governments where that was the issue but i think the creative point that comes across with all of this is the need

for governments to work together and within the united nations office and drugs and crime that's what we do we bring governments together from around the world from iran political persuasions to try to minimize these sorts of risks and help those conversations to occur but i mean your work is part of your work also convincing people who are placed higher actually to work in communication with their analysis and not guarded secrets for themselves and maybe use it later i think there's a mixture. of that. the way we work is that we for example we hosted the intergovernmental expert group on cyber crimes and governments around the world sit on that it met most recently in april of this year and it's that sort of opportunity where we create the mechanism for governments to talk to each other to work together to grow relationships and ultimately all of this is about minimizing the risk to the public from saw the crown but how hard is it to give for the government to make the

governments give up those findings. i think the way that the u.n. works we don't interfere directly in the issues of us over a member state when we do is to create that atmosphere and the capability for governments to work together and i think what we seek to encourage are those sorts of relationships where governments from across the world from across political divide do sit together to try and work their way through some of the most challenging of issues in cyber it's a ten something how damaging can a cyber attack be i mean what's the worst case do you have to hack into the military to hold onto you you have to hack into military computers to do lots of damage or a kidney mass where the infrastructure and step shut down an electricity grid or a phone network for example yeah i think it's a really important question and the context of that is exceptionally important because depending on which country that that happens is in depending on what their critical national infrastructure is you could have

a really serious impact we've seen where smaller countries more developing nations have suffered from attacks that have for example crippled the internet for a period of time i was speaking with representatives of just last week and they were explaining from their analysis and from their data the attacks on critical infrastructure have changed in the past year so instead of energy attacks being the priority we've seen a rise in water and of water infrastructure coming under attack but looking at a different way you may be for a country that depends on tourism as your primary source of revenue so for example if an attack occurred the took the tourism industry offline hit hotels hit the infrastructure for bringing tourists around the country can be exceptionally grave on an economy as well so it really is can text really dependent. london based think tank assess the u.k.'s trident nuclear submarines can be hacked into which could potentially lead to the horrors of its weapons being launched u.k.

government has repeatedly denied any possibility that tried an operating systems can be hacked what's your take on that. i've got nothing really that i could comment on that i have no knowledge of trident i have no knowledge of any member states operating systems for for nuclear weapons or anything like that so i think you need to ask the government concerned now what. is it theoretically possible to hack into something so huge that would unleash a catastrophe again without having any knowledge of that system or how it's built i really couldn't give you an honest answer on that it's not only anonymous hackers from the deep live seeing states use like stuxnet add on adversaries already cyber war the battleground of the future as it all going to be done with computer programs i think what we see so few from cyber crime and cyber attacks is that it has made things easier whether it's a state by satanic whether it is an organized crime based attack or off in the gray

areas in between and within my program what we seek to do is help member states from across the world on their request to build the capability to investigate such attacks and minimize that risk but i think as the internet of fame is so devices that are connected to the internet grows that there needs to be a must much stronger posture of cyber security around the world both from industry governments to help minimize that risk and the public are key to minimizing that risk what scale does a cyber attack have to be in order to provoke a real live military response to be seen as an act of war. i think again all of this is contextual it would depend on the country involved and depends on what the nature of that attack would be one of the biggest challenges that any investigators face in dealing with cyber crime is attribution who did it where did it come from and as we've seen with many of these attacks i mean you've mentioned one across the recent won't run somewhere attack it's still unclear where that originated from so

our clear message to government is to work together around the world to minimize this risk to grow those relationships and make sure that diplomacy is the key to everything and then there is also how governments use the internet and hacking and his own advantage like in qatar its neighbors cut ties with it partly because of something the emir sat and now they're claiming it was a hack but with it being so hard to identify the perpetrators are the unseen hackers becoming a convenient political scapegoat again it's a really good question sophia and it brings me back i think to the previous response that after of you should is the most difficult bit and that's where we need to ensure that governments across the world across political divide have the capability to investigate and deal with cyber crime attacks because without that it is exceptionally difficult to draw a conclusion on the original of that and to work on the policy that goes around

he's intelligent and lawmakers are considering investigating. software because they think that moscow can use it to do bad things do you thing that stick to diligence are or is it politics actually compromising security and really just your personal take on that i have do understand your position working at the u.n. you need to stay neutral but it's something. that has to be your take what's your take on that so i think in all of this and i wasn't aware of what of it or you said there about a of a conspiracy if we look at the we look at other other russian companies group by b. for example they work with industry that work with law enforcement and government in lots of different bits of the world so for example if you're a pole law enforcement agency group all you'd be are a critical guidance factor to the european sovereign problem center and i think that shows to me how important the collaboration between industry alone for us mint

is and that's the sort of thing that i would certainly advocate for him push much more for the importance of industry in being a preventive measure home sahlberg on helping governments around the world today with these issues is absolutely fundamental there is too much of sauber crime to investigate it way out of the row with industry have protection under investigation is going to continue to grow irrespective of where they're based now the n.s.a. and major media outlets reported on the alleged russian hacking of and then you i met clones complain as fact and now we're getting information from french intelligence that russia had nothing to do with it the us claimed that russia attempted to influence the vote in austria and now vienna itself is denying it what's up with the n.s.a. expertise i mean how could they get it so spectacularly wrong. again having no experience of vienna or the substance of what you're discussing it's exceptionally

difficult for me to comment on that with any with any real substance sophie what i do think this shows again and again is the necessity for diplomacy at the heart of countering state based of cyber i think the way that we work at the un by bringing governments together and we're seeing a very good constructive process there is something that we need to continue to do and governments around the world are committed to doing that it's all role model to help make that happen so alex running voting safe enough nowadays are shit countries just go back to good old paper ballots i think like anything we see in cyber there are elements of protection elements of security that you can put around anything there is no such thing as one hundred percent security and each individual member state has to make very own decision on what's right for them and we see some government some countries that choose to use paper based systems we see others that choose to use our tronic and really that is a decision for them the key to all of this is making sure that there is confidence

in in the system that's in place right now we're going to take a short break right now and while we're back we'll continue talking to you they had of the united nations global program on sabur crimea whilst on how to fight cyber crimes more effectively a statement. when lawmakers manufactured him sentenced him to public wealth. when the room in closest to protect themselves. in the final merry go round certainly the one percent told. to

ignore middle of the room see. the real news is really low. there's a saying. there won't be cheap but then all the countries let's . go. live to. this country. this is what we don't understand how we are in such.

a. similar. if. not the god. with the phone. with. come back to the story you have to see.

and we're back with mia walsh chief of the united nations global program on cyber crime neil welcome back now you've been saying that close international cooperation is needed to fight cyber crime but it already exists in some form so is it more that those countries don't really want to coppery. no i don't think that's the case the whole world we see on a daily basis both at a policing and law enforcement level through to diplomacy is the real desire to work together we had over ninety member states from the un in vienna a few weeks ago discussing sauber crime discussing matters of policy and diplomacy that's working there's more to be done but it is working and that alone for some level we see cooperation bilaterally so between states a multilateral

e through institutions like interpol in europe whole and that is working i think there is that desire that we're about working together we're about keeping countries and citizens safer from song. but you're still saying that there is more a need it right there's always more that can be done i think to enable closer working together to build those relationships and build trust across different bits of lone foresman organizations so m i six has been reinforcing its cyber security squats with hundreds more stuff does that mean that intelligence agencies will rely upon internet and social media war and bond style agents. again a good question but having no knowledge of m i six or how that structure would work i think it's a question you'd have to refer to the u.k. government but looking at the broader sense of that i think where we see if we look across crime cyber crime as a whole seeing that delineation between what happens online and offline is becoming

increasingly blurred one of the biggest risks the most deal with around the world is online child sexual exploitation and abuse and as adults we might often have a perception of what a risk might be but when we speak to kids when we speak to younger teenagers their understanding of what happens online and offline really has become a very grey area that there is no separation between online and offline it's just life so it means the we as investigators diplomats we have to have a different approach an approach that recognizes or children assess the risk to be someone something and this i'm sure you know a sadder crime separate from ordinary crime i mean is it really geeks and nerds and darkened rooms or is an organized and much tighter like a mexican cartel. the really good question we tend to look at cyber as being cyber dependent so where you need a computer to do something so for example hacking a computer system or cyber enabled let's look at

a traditional black card for old ten years ago i would have needed to stay your credit card to do it whereas now i could send you an e-mail and socially engineer you to give me your bank card data so really there is that broad mix of stuff that you need a computer system to do it and then other things that can happen generally sometimes it'll be an individual kid or adult with a coding capability other times we look at i think a growing risk what we call cyber crime as a service where highly technical highly experienced cyber criminals will offer their capability to other organized criminals even individuals so for someone with no capability if they want to become a cyber criminal they don't need to learn how to do it they can just pay someone to do it ok give me an example how exactly can sabur capital any help irregular criminal operation like an extortion ring or a drug smuggling yeah absolutely there is a case that's in the press from a couple of years ago where there was a large drug trafficking group operating from south america through to northern

europe through the port of antwerp in belgium cyber criminals help the organized crime group to move their large amounts of cocaine to have cocaine from south central america through to antwerp and by manipulating the computer systems within the the doc the port based companies and the container based companies where this was moved it helped the organized crime group to traffic a large amount of drugs without detection for a period of time and this is where we see that cyber criminals can help other organized criminals to reduce their risk and to really try and make a difficult venture much much easier. cyber crime or about hacking meaning is it mostly technical or is it about making people do things like clicking on a bad link being them into doing something silly blackmailing i don't know if you remember they were banned in virus that was simply an email asking you to just delete important files are the public the weakest link in cyber security. again an

excellent question and something that we hear regularly you can look at it two ways you can say the public is the weakest link because you put in infrastructure or technical protection into everything you've gold. but still someone could come in and maybe put an infected u.s.b. stick in or click on an infected e-mail already or an infected website the alternative is to look at the public can be your strongest link with the public can be the most important part of your defensive armor by education by empowering the public we can help to minimize the risk of cyber crime within my program or on the world in guatemala el salvador coke where educating the public and how to stay safe and how to become that critical part in keeping structures and infrastructure saif they want to cry tat made a lot of noise they didn't make make much money for it those behind it is big money mate quietly and cybercrime and how i mean can you give us an example of how it's

done. that's a good one across the first it's a great example of something that didn't work it's attracted so much public attention from around the world and political attention i think if there's a good news story out of one across is that it's broad run somewhere to the top of the cyber crime political agenda something bad loan foresman and diplomacy has been talking about for some is the internet organized crime threat assessment a europe whole publishes has been pushing run somewhere as a critical threat now we see governments around the world talking about it even in russia as you know seventy five percent of victims of want to cry were based in the russian federation so we see that as a crime group or a criminal trying to make money and as you rightly say they haven't made much money a toll in fact only around fifty bitcoin which is around one hundred thousand euro has been sent to those criminals bitcoin addresses and they've not been able to actually see or take that money yet so in effect want to cry has made the creators

of the disseminators over no money at all so a criminal business model with. didn't work where we look and where we see making real money is the attack on banking infrastructure and institutions and sometimes on business as well there is still often a reluctance of big business of selling to report if they have had a breach if they have lost an amount of money that may be because they're afraid of a reaction from shareholders or boards of directors but we really encourage business to work with loan foresman to try and counter that threat if it's simply written off for fear of embarrassment that cannot help law enforcement it can also help the government to help minimize the risk to true economic prosperity in the society so when we see money like that being made if we don't counter that we don't come to the narrative of it that's for sauber criminals continue to exploit it so the cyber crime is also made possible due to need characters like bitcoin that you mentioned this is the ultimate crime enabler or can actually trace stand recipients

of the currency. sure i'm not sure i would call it the ultimate crime enabler it's just another way of doing business in many ways no different to some informal ways of moving money bitcoin and other cryptocurrency seek to be anonymous so semi anonymous however the work that we're doing within the united nations office on drugs and crime where we're building the capacity of investigators around the world to counter sauber crime we can investigate block chain bit coinbase transactions and we are very good at working with partners such as china as to identify where those transactions are and who the users behind them are so are you anonymous if you use bitcoin can you get away with it no you can't. can be done completely anonymously or is leaving a digital fingerprint inevitable can someone believe that fake fingerprint on purpose again another good question and it's back to that conversation about after

abuse who did it some criminals some cyber crime advanced persistent threat groups will seek to try and anonymize where they are or to pretend to be coming from somewhere else and the challenge for investigators is to try and identify those digital footprints as you rightly call it to try and work out who they are and where they are trying to identify on those occasions where someone is pretending to be somebody else or pretending to be in a different place it's not easy but it's not necessarily impossible either but it takes time threats and may once more government regulation of the internet following the latest london attack but with that do any good i mean if a person wants to hide online they will so are those kinds of current proposals an overreaction or a lack of understanding about how the web actually works. i think the key point in all of this sophie is than the says there's a the absolute necessity of government governments to sit together work together

and talk through these issues the risk of cyber crime the risk of terrorists exploiting the opportunities on the internet. is a global phenomenon it's not just a unique to the u.k. we see it around the world so i think for us at the u.n. to host the forum give the the opportunity for governments for internet service providers for social media companies to sit together discuss these problems and come up with workable solutions that's the key to it according to threat metrics cyber security firm fifty percent more cyber attacks originate from europe and any other part of the world over the last couple of months overtaking the united states for the first time how do you explain that how do you claim this shift. sure again back to the attributions are where it's coming from who's doing it awarded we identify where those that attacks have arisen from sometimes i think we see where there is a poster from lone foresman that shows cracking down on

a specific geographic area or a specific threat area then we sometimes see a shift in where those attacks are where those crimes originate from so i think when we see from like you say from us to europe we see a shift that will be for a period of time and then we'll see it move somewhere else as well something we're very conscious of very aware of is the risk of a jurisdiction of risk so a country or an area where cyber criminals seek to exploit a weakness in the just listen or a weakness in investigation or enforcement capability and that's where our role with the u.n. working with others like interpol if you're a folk hero polled by luttrell governments is to try a capacity to minimize those risks now you worked in actual law enforcement and you fought terrorism with the f.b.i. and you worked with interpol can do you an organization you work on the advise others on how to fight cyber crime or can it actually fight as well. the united

nations office in drugs isn't an investigative body our role is upon request to go to countries and help them build their investigative capability so we don't get involved in the investigation of an offense we don't get involved in the prosecution well we can do what we do do is to build that capability to investigate helping the infrastructure get in place helping a government policy to get in place helping investigators to grow their capability to investigate we help them get in touch with other countries to build those relationships and to build that capability to do something but the actual investigation process is a role for each individual country to do and we wouldn't seek to get involved in that whatsoever all right mr walsh thank you for taking time to talk to us today were discussing cyber security with me whilst chief of the united nations global program on cyber crime that's it for this edition of sophie and co i'll see you next time.
