5:03 pm
complex issues in the region as both israel and palestine have claims on jerusalem under international law east jerusalem is not part of israel and is considered occupied territory the us ambassador to israel has said palestinians overreacted to donald trump's decision in an ugly and anti semitic way that has trump's plan to relocate the u.s. embassy to jerusalem has sparked a global condemnation with protests held around the world and the overwhelming majority of the u.n. general assembly voted to reject the move. we've also followed the story of a palestinian boy who spent twenty days it is in an israeli prison under him many now for first two as a symbol of the resistance against israel. but i was in the area where there were confrontations and the demonstration to reject tom's decision when we were attacked with sound cannons and gas bombs i had no
5:04 pm
choice but to run away. my chest with a weapon and i was thrown on the ground then a group of twenty three soldiers attacked me they tied my hands and blindfolded me so i could not see anything and insulted me. to. me it's us for several minutes they hit us on the feet and hands i lost one of my shoes and the took the other one and poured such cold water must for. thousands of kurdish speaking news it is are still being kept hostage in iraq despite the fall of islamic state many of them are children who have been abducted and sold at slave markets artie's senior correspondent mark garcia reports on the

long way home from terrorist captivity. age ten location. ten thousand dollars russia age nine location turkey starting bid fifteen thousand dollars penis age eight location syria starting bid. thousand dollars. age fifteen. baghdad sold for two and a hot thousand dollars d was kidnapped by isis in mosul in two thousand and fifteen for near enough three years she endured horrible things things that new fifteen year old girl or any woman should ever have to endure two hours ago she was back by her family here in baghdad no one called the police no one wanted
5:06 pm
to risk her life she spent her first hour of freedom crying in the hotel room where in my isis tells its hostages that their families will kill them if they ever return but her arrest would be brief as to how she was shown a shot sufficient to look at the front of the little salute very seriously so many people are happy that she's. meeting her relatives took her shopping. she was rescued by a group of men who specialize in tracking down these e.d.'s kidnapped by isis they then either negotiate a sale or steal them back their big gun secrecy i don't and she got you know i says say that if we show the girl still in that position with their relatives apparent t.v. the deal will be off that they'd kill the hostages as such some of the. people involved
5:07 pm
didn't want to appear on camera but the stories i did chilling and if you could look at this one of the girls was kidnapped when she was sent a noise of rapes for is consecutive a house here where there are several girls san eleven twelve years old who were all raped gifted or sold as many as fifteen signs. if not for sexual pleasure isis brainwashes you see the children and sends them on suicide missions or sells them for money oh when isis fighters flee to turkey they sell their slaves because they need money to go back to their home countries. you may not know but when the u.s. led coalition and their allies in syria reportedly led hundreds of isis fighters need then besieged graca whose jihad took not only the guns and families but
5:08 pm
also their hostages and slaves the same people that are now being boarded back of the prices vary depending on where there are if they're in dangerous place you can be eighty thousand dollars otherwise around fifteen thousand. others also tracking down missing people one iraqi m.p. has made a name for herself rescuing children. she spend her own money buying out several of these kids and never have actually met one of the girls told me the story of her escape she and her aunts were in isis captivity two of the terrorists watched them day and night to prevent them from running away then the girl told one of them that she couldn't sleep and asked to see a doctor the isis fighters gave her some sleeping pills she kept them and put them
5:09 pm
in the the sea. terrorist fell asleep and she and her managed to escape the girl was eight years old and was too terrified to do anything so the girl told her let's try and run away they will kill us anyway and they escaped three thousand years e.d.'s is still missing hundreds presumed held by isis the international community no longer really cares they do the track the same ratings now that they aren't being slaughtered so it's up to them to recover their own children and to help them heal from what isis has done to them or our guys the odd see from the hawk iraq lot a contacted several human rights organizations about what's being done to help the victims of these crimes so far only a few have responded including the red cross. the battles in mosul and ramadi and
5:10 pm
fallujah all over iraq have yielded an overwhelming overwhelmingly large or high amount of missing people people who whose fate are unknown the families are still looking for them whether they are in captivity with islam mix a group or any other party in iraq families do not know the fate of their loved ones and if they have the right to know the fate of the loved ones whether they have been dead or are still alive somewhere in iraq being held by a certain party to a conflict what we do to assist because we know that the process to look and search for missing loved ones is a really painful process that can go on for many many years and we call on anyone who has a missing person in iraq to approach the international committee of the red cross and to report the missing case so that we can assist in the search and
5:11 pm
identification of people who are missing as was just mentioned many people went missing after the fierce battles the moans the despite the city's liberation more than five months ago it still looks like a war zone the red squares on the map showed just how much of mosul has been obliterated yet falling ice those defeat local three little effort has been made to rebuild what was once considered one of iraq's most beautiful stressing. the common in the. home. when we haven't received any aid from the government or any.
5:12 pm
i feel completely destroyed i don't feel like coming back to its home i've lost all hope of living here after seeing all this devastation. i thought that installing the latest antivirus software would protect you from being hacks well think again even the leading fiber security career done my cafe has been hacked here's what happened.
5:13 pm
my count was hacked twitter has been notified it. was not me. well we can now hear from the man himself john mcafee who founded the mcafee software company good to have you on the program and though i guess you've had this a lot but some people might find it slightly ironic is that so renowned cyber security expert like yourself has been the victim of hacking can you tell us exactly how that could happen. well you know we rely on the number of people
5:14 pm
we want rely on our carriers the telephone carriers are on twitter so no matter what i have which is was is superb because i am a specialist in cyber security my phone was hacked through my carrier eighteen t. american is the largest carrier in america and what happened is this is brand new to me they managed to hack into a t.n.t. to move my phone number to another phone prior to being hacked my phone was totally disabled you couldn't call into it i could call out from it so everything coming in including my text messages went to another phone. so what they had done is a lot of tried to log on to twitter so i've lost my pass for i used two factor authentication meaning i have to give twitter my phone no they sent it to my phone number a special code so that i could get in but it wasn't me it was the hacker. this is
5:15 pm
something totally out of my control totally out of everyone's control hackers are becoming more and more proficient and more sophisticated in their hacking techniques it's just going to happen to me i promise you it can happen to him or it was quite worrying if it twitter even massive company out is eighty and take and they presumably spend millions on security fifty twenty to appen fave how concerned should we be about the other apps being thrown off things that they need basis. well it's not just all the apps or uses not just twitter what happened in my case i'm sure that it costs money i'm probably somewhat of a teensy had to be bribed why would they do that because i was issuing every day a recommendation the before that for the new alternative coins all sorts of good courts crypto currencies people who wouldn't invest hundreds of millions of dollars into these coins while the hacker did was a recommend is six different coins within six minutes and invested i'm sure much
5:16 pm
money before hand into those coins as the coins rose they have are sold as money they made made tens of millions of dollars it was worthwhile to spend what it would take to get my heck now if they can do it for me again they can do it for anyone i get i don't know where they bribe someone at a t.n.t. it happens frequently and i don't know whether they have some secret method of hacking into the a.t.m. see wireless system i'm still working on trying to find that out i went to haiti and see it this morning finally got my phone number back to my phone it took three days to do that or two and a half days to do that. and even when i was talking to the a sense that the account has been hand i got personally no response the chances of eighty n.t. . admitting that they were responsible is less than the chance of a spouse admitting to their spouse that they've been unfaithful it's just not going to happen until it happens many times over we're living in
5:17 pm
a new world of hacking and a new world of risks for all of us using the internet. and i'm not you me thing and about plans for a hack to create fluff and a pony to be released in it to three months from now could you tell us more about that and also at how incident could prove to be quite good but a promotion in full your new belief. i'm starting to piece of course. you recently on about plans for a hack proof smartphone which apparently is due to be released in just a few months from now could you tell us more about that and possibly confirm that this whole this whole hacking situation is probably going to be good promotion for your hog for a phone oh i don't think so at all because my smartphone could not help this nothing nothing could be done if the if your carrier is the one who's being hacked i don't care how through proof your smartphone is it's not going to work so my
5:18 pm
smartphone we're going to help in this case it wouldn't do anything if your charity if you know if someone has intercepted the single to your phone and they put it is shown to some other phone is something that my phone can do my phone going to help you from applications that get on your phone and know you can vote if you're going to this i mean that's nonsense. like you said just now because you saw a phone to your account to promote old coins your twitter account how much of a threat is this kind of activity when it's done there's like an ongoing craze right now of crypto jacking where hakas use people's computers to mine bitcoin is the huge threat. well it's not what happened to me is not a threat or there's a great threat to all mine this is a great threat to all people who oppose crypto conses most people do not keep their currencies on their own while they use wireless on the exchanges now former hacker trying to hack into wireless and get money i wouldn't search around the world for
5:19 pm
individuals that have their wallets no i would go to an exchange and the exchanges have billions of dollars in crypto currency so yes they're all a risk everybody says no we are secure that has been proven over and over and over again to be absolute nonsense beginning with melt gox a couple of years ago were hundreds of millions of dollars were lost this will continue to happen until people and that the owners of the exchanges understand that the world they are in is far more sophisticated in terms of hacking than they believe and i promise you every exchange will at some point in the near future become get hacked and if you have your wallet on those exchanges you will lose your money because they do not have the resources to reimburse you. so mcafee five of care is a pioneer thank you for your time and very much that's how efficient in the u.k. warning of possible sanctions against us tech giants because after all and most
5:20 pm
don't think i'm ok with. here's what people have been saying about rejected in the us is it actually just full on awesome the only show i go out of my way to lunch you know what it's really packed a punch. yeah it is the john oliver of party americans do the same we are apparently better than. you see people you've never heard of love jack to the next president of the world bank so take. it seriously send us an e-mail. a robot governments can be much more rational and lots more compassionate than the current oligarchs human governments that we have i suspect people will be more happy with that situation than they are with the.
5:21 pm
twenty eight is coming the big countdown the ball is going to drop new year starting resolutions will be created it's all so very exciting let's check. back in the u.k. facebook and twitter i could face sanctions if they don't tell the parliamentary investigation into alleged russian into ferentz and the brags that it's the head of the so-called fake news inquiry and paid damian collins has now given the social media giants almost three weeks to hand over all the information he's requested. they need to be able to tell us what they can do about it and what we need to be able to do is say to the companies we recognize that you are best placed to militar what is going on your insights but if you fail to police the search effectively and
5:22 pm
deal with highly problematic contant then it has to be some sort of sanction against you damian collins the chair of the department of culture media and sports select committee in the u.k. parliament he's leading this investigation into so-called alleged russian interference in the e.u. referendum and he's really slammed these tech giants the social media giant saying that they aren't handing over enough information and that the information that they are handing over is the same that they handed over to the electoral commission earlier this month and we can look at some of the numbers of come forward facebook for example handing over information which says that story russian ads were taken out with only two hundred views or two hundred people viewing those ads and the total cost of ninety seven cents spent on the damian collins saying that no work has been done by facebook to look for other fake accounts and twitter as well
5:23 pm
handing over information saying that only six tweets from r.t. accounts at a cost of a thousand dollars again mr collins saying that twitter the information that they've shared is completely inadequate now we've spoken to facebook they've told us that they are closely cooperating with the electoral committee but that they don't have any evidence thus far of russian actors attempting to influence the brig's that vote but this all is very similar to the types of inquiries we've been seeing in the us and looking into the presidential election there and again alleged russian interference and we've also heard from the us senator mark warner who's also been very critical of those social media giants i was concerned at first. the social media platform companies did not take this threat seriously enough i believe they are recognizing that threat now they've provided us with information because
5:24 pm
these social media giants they've continuously stress that the number of ads in the reach of the ads taken out by russians or anyone linked in any way to russia is very small in comparison to other adverts taken out and of course very little has been spoken about for example president obama before the briggs's referendum came to the u.k. he gave a speech and told people how to vote very little attention there given to seoul called american interference so many people making those points as well well r.t. contacted facebook for a comment on that warning it told if it had responded fully to all the inquiries of the electoral commission independent political commentator adam garry thinks all the inquiries into alleged russian meddling have reached a point of absurdity. to sign of desperation isn't to have someone that wants to go to a very nice restaurant in the no tables if the guy is really desperate to get in the can you check again or are you sure you don't have any tables it really is just
5:25 pm
ridiculous they want to prolong and prolong and on scandal when frankly all they need to do is look at the facebook ads it's all about for a public record and yes the fingers might get a bit sore scrolling down through the past but it doesn't take you don't need to be some sort of super james bond in order to conduct this it really comes down to irresponsible corporate governance irresponsible political governance and a lack of transparency on both sides and in order to stir hoodwink the public about this of this sort of back scratching competition which occasionally draws blood they need a destruction it's either a sex scandal it's russian meddling. the first ship carrying russian produced gas has reached the u.k. under a new energy deal such a story wouldn't normally make headlines however the gas is produced by a company which the u.s. person it functions list and i move strongly supported by london at the time the
5:26 pm
first round of washington's sanctions were imposed in twenty fourteen and response to russia's alleged involvement in the ukraine conflict the us has always been critical of russia's gunther applies to europe thing they undermine europe's energy security with moscow using the energy sector as a foreign policy tall a view that person has backed it's not in europe's interests it's not in our interests it's also a political rather than a commercial undertaking there is an existing framework in place for the e.u. to take more aggressive action on north stream two and similar projects if it wished to do so politically we have seen how countries such as putin's russia use their gas supplies is a tool of foreign policy threatening to cut off supplies addressed equal increase prices. however the end of twenty seventeen has seen the u.k. out in the cold and in need of russian gas it all started around three weeks ago when the most important pipeline to person was shut down due to
5:27 pm
a crack and then one of the biggest hubs in europe suffered an explosion which led to a record spike in gas prices in the past four years moreover britain has faced an unusually cold winter with snow blizzards and freezing temperatures we discuss this with international oil and gas expert mundo selami why is the european union and britain sub borked you are sanctions when it comes to their own needs they can put aside or a share of these sanctions for their own benefit and that is the situation with the united kingdom now russia is reliable supplier to europe so i think that will continue of course the united states would like to be able to reduce europe's dependence on russian gas and russian oil but they cannot they might try through sanctions doing please their supplies of. the euro
