4:02 am
secret government documents it's also said to have carried out research to see how people would interact with certain government messaging picking up the story. cambridge on the ticket is seemingly everywhere apart from helping the campaign to victory by using information harvested from millions of facebook profiles it turns out the company's services have been used by the british government to cambridge on the parent company is called the f c l group the whistleblower who on earth the facebook data breach calls the two entities as c.l. and cambridge on the one in the say s c l used to be on the payroll of the british defense ministry thanks to a freedom of information request from twenty six d. we know that in two thousand and eleven the energy paid to s.c.l. for the provision of external training and in twenty fifteen it paid for psycho
4:03 am
social research to top it all off s.c.l. got the green light to hold british government secrets on its premise britain's information commissioner's already investigating cambridge analytic over the facebook data breach but in light of the defense contracts with its parent company as c l the chair of britain's home affairs select committee is now demanding a wider government investigation into the company's activities there are now growing concerns about whether there should be a wider investigation into the to reduce there are concerns about the implications for democracy about information being used in an illegitimate way and no one has the chance to counteract it and the traces real problems outside of the u.k.'s c l's and cambridge on the list of his client list reads like a who's who of contentious elections and political hot spots cambridge on the list who was hired by kenya's ruling party ahead of its elections last year the company
4:04 am
is accused of stoking ethnic tensions and manipulating voters online prejudices to help kenya's leaders stay in power the company's also accused of orchestrating political. ration zone their client's political rivals and circulating the evidence online among a seal's clients was ukraine it was hired by the kiev government to help recapture the self-proclaimed republic of donetsk. a seal was contracted to deliver a data driven strategy for the ukrainian government in pursuit of the goal to win back control of donetsk our findings replied to designed localized communications campaigns to erode and weaken the dinette people's republic this particular campaign didn't bear much fruit for the ukrainian government the website reveals yet another tie to the british government the ukraine report it says was delivered to kiev and shared with the u.k.'s ministry of defense i don't really believe the
4:05 am
ministry of defense should be involved in a company one arm of which at least is in gauge in a series of campaigns around the world of propaganda and manipulation apparently and political interference secondly i don't really see why the ministry of defense is in any case spending huge amounts of money on. the kind of propaganda work and finally the question of secrecy i mean apparently this company was given access to top secret information this seems to me to be an extremely. worrying revelation it's likely that the next chapter in the cambridge analytical scandal won't be its links to facebook but to governments around the world including the u.k. . donald trump revealed who will take over his new
4:06 am
security adviser the man being appointed is former u.n. ambassador john bolton who is known for his strong stance on north korea and iran the appointment was made in typical trump style on twitter the us president also made use of the social media platform earlier this month when he fired his secretary of state rex tillerson hill apartment has a look now at the new arrival through washington's revolving door. he is the third national security advisor to the donald trump administration in the last fourteen months and john bolton is a long time advocate of the use of force against iran and against north korea now those are two countries that are rather vital for the trumpet ministration in the coming months in may donald trump will have to weigh in on the iran deal whether or not it will continue and furthermore the usa is on the verge of carrying out the historic meeting the first meeting between a head of state of the usa and the leader of the democratic people's republic of
4:07 am
korea so at this point a lot of questions remain so the fact that john bolton has been selected is rather interesting i think they want to make peace i think it's time so it could be a long and unproductive meeting or it could be assured unproductive meeting we hope that these new measures directed at the arabian dictatorship will compel the government to really evaluate its pursuit of terror at the expense of its people well i think he's on the verge of making a mistake i think his advisors are pushing him in the wrong direction you know are destroyed the certification question is utterly irrelevant john bolton served as the u.s. ambassador to the united nations under the administration of george w. bush and his appointment was quite controversial at that time for statements he had made harshly criticizing the united nations can trail donald trump was quite critical of military intervention isn't by the united states saying that he wanted to stop toppling regimes however john bolton is
4:08 am
a long time advocate for military interventions around the world so big developments on the horizon regarding iran and north korea you know lots of reaction on this as you would expect including from former u.s. diplomat jim just trysts who told us the appointment of john bolton could aggravate the situation with iran. a lot of people mistakenly said that during the campaign trump said he would tear up the agreement because it was a very bad agreement he did exactly said that he said it was a very bad agreement but he likes to make bad agreements good i think he came in with the notion that if he was threatening and up we could get the europeans on board and pressure the russians or the chinese to say that we want to add missile technology and not threatening israel a lot of other things to the agreement to change the agreement to something he likes better maybe that's still their game plan maybe they think if they have somebody who is sufficiently bellicose they can scare the europeans and decided with the americans i'm changing the agreement and not have to pull out of it but i
4:09 am
have no doubt now that regime change is going to be a cardinal conscious goal of american policy and failing that there would be an attempt to do so by military means. protests are growing in the u.s. state city of sacramento after the release of bali video showing the moment u.s. police fatally shot an unarmed black man in his grandparents' back yard the incident happened last sunday when officers responded to a suspect breaking car windows in the area police say they mistook the man smartphone for a weapon that opened fire on him twenty times. nine one one what's ok and the emergency. the one that occurred. under the. you can find it change the subject after the back area. for that description other than melaka black. i got a guy at a back yard. when. i

the victim is twenty two year old stephanie clark he was a father of two both his children are under the age of three his brother described him as an entrepreneur. well the overall picture is a bleak one more than eleven hundred people were killed in twenty seven alone by us police it was reported that throughout the whole year only fourteen days when without a fatal police incident now in response sacramento police have placed the officers involved in the fatal shooting on paid administrative leave the cases are treated locals who are demanding justice demonstrations took place city hall the sacramento kings basketball arena a major hauling way was also blocked during rush hour the black dog's mother movement is calling the incident murder and demanding answers we spoke to sonya lewis from the movie. they don't take any value black life because we
4:12 am
are collateral damage we've always been when it comes to this kind of grease history at the end of the day the motive has always been a lack of value for black life or black bodies and so it's easy to shoot first ask questions later sort things out after the facts come up with near to the evidence that doesn't fit what actually was taking place during the time of the incident so when you come out with the story and say yes he had a good or at the in the next story was he had a tool bar or crow bar then the next story was he had a branch to find out that he was shot with a cell phone in his hand we want to see those officers prosecuted or their decision to shoot their guns twenty shots we could no longer live with and be satisfied with officers being fired or given slaps on the wrist for murdering people in our. debate over the history of the holocaust has reached a boiling point in poland the father of the current prime minister who is
4:13 am
a former politician and self has sparked controversy with recent remarks. do you know who chased the jews away to the warsaw ghetto do the germans you think know the jews themselves when because they were told they would be an enclave that they would not have to deal with those nasty poles the polish government was quick to distance itself from the comments but the interview was slammed in israel and by paul's as well with many saying that such comments are offensive to the memory of those who died at the hands of the nazis. the issue of the holocaust was again a main focus in poland after a new law was adopted there last month now it made it illegal to accuse the nation
4:14 am
of complicity in the atrocity prohibited the use of the phrase polish death camp we spoke to professor israel charny from the institute for holocaust and genocide. i'm going to have the opportunity to make at least one pro polish position statement and then is that the concentration camps in poland i agree they should not be called the polish concentration camps they were nazi concentration camps in poland but beyond that the insistence on the creation of a law that is it is illegal to discuss what the poles did in the holocaust is an insult to humanity. the poem's did many things on both sides of the fence all of the truth should be brought.

a plus a fight us program the targets potential terrorists by revealing it has essentially burden the operation the anti virus lobby explained its aims to protect people against such malware and gave its own warnings about the malicious program falling into the wrong hands but had to act and remain eate all forms of malicious programs regardless of origin or purpose furthermore the company does not whitelist any malware samples not even malware used for so-called legal surveillance one can easily imagine the situation in which such malware falls into the wrong hands and can be used to launch attacks against law enforcement we're just regular users. well a cyber espionage program is allegedly code named slingshot undersea able to steal a large amount of data including images and passwords from infected computers using internet writers now the sophisticated mobile war it's thought to have been online

for over half a decade all ready targets of the ball were have been discovered in africa and the middle east with over one hundred three attacks believed to be on yemen and kenya generally targeted the computers of individuals but in some cases it may have breached government institution we can confidently say that it is a digital accounting used for digital currencies. transactions are recorded in blocks that are linked together in a chain each block has what's known as a hash a unique code that's like a fingerprint also stores the hash of the preceding block in the chain one reason this technology is so secure is that if you tamper with a particular block it's hash will no longer match up with the one on the next block block invalid finally each block containing some data typically this consists of transaction details receiver and the amount of crypto currency sent there can be some surprise data finds for example. was found to contain the mandela photo.
4:20 am
logo and the tribute to cryptographer lens sassaman but some of the surprises a nasty german research has uncovered that the bitcoin block chain contains hundreds of links to child pornography as well as an indecent image of someone who looked under age having a copy of the block chain this will be illegal now that's a bit worrying as another aspect of the way blocking technology works is that everyone who uses it gets a copy of the entire block. so users could unwittingly be breaking the law of course the problem isn't peculiar. cryptocurrency use the same. acknowledging their users are just as vulnerable any time we're talking about the abuse of a child or child pornography that's you know that's a serious issue that people should take serious regardless of what it involves this is an issue that should be looked at and i hope investigated and whoever's
4:21 am
responsible for it can be held accountable this is a serious case but it's not and where a problem in the block chain itself even if there is some sort of problem on the big chain where perhaps they could come up with measures to prevent this sort of thing from happening alternately the technology can be used in any number of different ways and i'm sure there's somebody out there already who's thinking of how to use the technology for the good that it provides but also to provide some sort of security measures that can prevent this kind of thing from happening. share prices have plunged and fears are growing of a global trade war after beijing announced plans for reciprocal taras on imports from the u.s. it comes in response to double trump hitting china with trade penalties the american leaders signed an order on the new tariffs in the white house saying it was necessary to counter all known for competition from beijing well the move targets more than one hundred types of chinese goods ranging from clothes to

electronics it's estimated to be worth up to sixty billion dollars over the past year trump's unpredictable approach to china has left many scratching their heads. the money they take. we can't continue to allow china to rape our country. if you have this. relationship you know there's going to be conflict but we have a very good relationship people say we have the best relationship of any president president we had the most beautiful piece of chocolate cake that you've ever seen president she was enjoying it i view them as a friend i have tremendous respect for president she. we have a great relationship what trump is doing now and saying that he thinks trade wars are great and they're easy to win i think poses a real danger of. economic consequences this is going to raise the prices for a lot of goods to people for people here and the whole presentation by the trumpet
4:23 am
ministration that somehow china is raping the united states is just ludicrous it was china of course that suffered from really horrible the horrible effects of imperialist intervention in domination for trump presents is the answer whether it's anti immigrant or tariffs or a trade war are really only going to do damage to the same people many of the same people who voted for trump and were deceived by his message. switching gears are t. is busy preparing to launch a large scale digital project called the romanovs one hundred through thousands of personal photographs it tells the story of russia's last royal family there for century reign ended with the revolution in one thousand nine hundred seventeen and the digital music of four thousand photos will begin appearing across social media from april the it that date marks one hundred days before the centennial
