5:14 pm
how do you justify the enormous wealth devoted to this kind of rich persons? amusements? morrow demands are more powerful than allowing the super rich to become even richer. as for example, they have over the last 18 months even while the rest of the world was struggling with the cold. busy dead pan demik still in the mix of the upcoming stories here is rarely developed phone by where has been used by government worldwide to potentially snoop on john list politicians, a priest. so it also, the french president will give you more on that in just the the, the is your media,

5:16 pm
the ah, could a box down here in moscow? israeli developed phone spyware was used to keep tabs on the french president emanuel macro. that is, according to new revelations, relating to the pegasus hacking tool brought to light by a group of investigative journalists, a several other top french officials were also targeted. the iliad says, has taken the claims very seriously. just a short time ago, i spoke with ortiz, charlotte, 2 months game president mac call of france may have been one of those that were targeted by this is really spying software that now via the peg. is this project also not just him, but 50 members of his government from back in 2019 now this spyware,
5:17 pm
which was still valid in israel, essentially, attacks of phone. and when it's on the phone, it allows the people who are spying you, to turn on your microphone and to turn it off. i will, meaning they can record your conversations. they would also have access to all of your messages on applications such as what's up or if you have an iphone on your message and allowing them to basically search through all of the data in your phone to uncover pretty much anything that they want it. now this data breach was revealed initially by a french group. they're called forbidden stories, and they've been working with a series of newspapers and media outlets around the clay with the last few days, revealing this huge leak of numbers from across the world. it even includes close relatives of those who were ministers in mac. cohen's government, including the wife we understand of the french prime minister,
5:18 pm
former french prime minister edward felipe. now this is just the tip of the iceberg though, because those data leaks so far, health revealed around a 1000 individuals came in france will potentially targeted by the software by spice services, intel services by countries such as morocco and they included human rights activists, politicians even journalists around $180.00 journalists across the world were also targeted in this attack by this use of pegasus and hearing from it included the human rights activists, dominique simon on. she do mean the fact that dominic seminar was spied on means that almost all important journalists in all tauriel offices in france could be spied on if that's what's important when it's not just why attempting this means that absolutely any information leak out. this is a violation of the fundamental right. so most important companies as well as it is that some of the big publications will roll. so apparently targeted by this peg.
5:19 pm
this is spice software. and as a result of that, the paris prosecutor has now opened an investigation into some of those potential data leaks. and those individuals that believe that they was spied on who had their phones checked and verify that they have this spite software on that. and in that least across will, there are some 50000 numbers that have been revealed just in this database leak. but that could just be one small portion of the number that are truly been infected by the spice software. now that includes that $50000.00 list includes 13 heads of states including the president of south africa, president manuel mac and also the prime minister old pakistan. but on top of that, there are military heads of defense. they're all too much foods he for countries.
5:20 pm
so this is a real, huge leak and a huge scandal of individuals that apparently have been spied on for the last several years now. and i so which is the group behind the developing of the software, maintain the idea that this software is not being used maliciously by state active enter. so group family denies false claims made in your report, many of which are uncorroborated theories that raise serious doubts about the reliability of your sources is what is the basis of your story? and if so, group has also stated that president and manual my goal is as far as it's aware, not a tall gauge of customers. people that it's sold this software to, even though his number appears on the list, it says that he's moving ticketed that he was selected for surveillance. but you could imagine there will be a lot of concerned individuals heads of state journalists, human rights activists,
5:21 pm
as more and more details about this data lake and who exactly has been targeted for this spice surveillance software is revealed. they're branded as the global war on terror sunglasses with a marketing ploy by the show manufacturer. oakley, has created an army of angry us veterans. the issue centers on a ribbon, on the rim of each pair, representing the metal us soldiers receive. the problem is they got the colors wrong. to make matters worse, the metal itself is seen by some is nothing more than the equivalent of a participation trophy, given alpha, simply joining the military. and we spoke to a former us marine sergeant who feels vets being exploited for commercial gain. veterans are constantly being taken advantage of. and $250.00 oakley. glasses are just one really dumb, petty example. sadly,
5:22 pm
to the extent that we have a militarist paradigm in the united states, there was also, there will always be a market for these kinds of, you know, crap products or the whole of exploitation claims come made growing. alarm over the problem is that veterans do face day to day. the latest data shows an increase in the suicide rate of vets, which is one and a half times higher than among civilians. with 18 to 34 year olds, particularly vulnerable. and it's toward those figures may even be larger as the study doesn't get take into account the impact of the pandemic. atom cash again believes that government ignores the basic needs of veterans. it's not a challenge to get people to recognize that you served it's challenge to get people to care about the bigger problems and the fact that better ends commit suicide rate of $22.00 per day, more proportionally than the general population. and the v a is more interested in
5:23 pm
pushing pharmaceuticals that have suicide listed a side effect. then actually effective treatments for p t. s. d, and other things experienced by veterans homelessness, unemployment, all of the challenges that go along what the government does. by contrast, the u. s federal government spent $86000000.00 on housing for illegal immigrants, and 0 for homeless veterans. and this lab in the faith from oakley sunglasses is just little bit of icing on the cake. the corruption trial of south africa is for my president, jacob zoom has resumed his jailing last week, spock the worst violence seen in the country for decades. the head of the zulu nation, south africa, the largest ethnic group told us the reason don rest on looting came as no surprise . we see a country that has so much going for it. been destroyed completely. because my
5:24 pm
view is that what is happening now actually should no surprise us because this country was a radio and it's nice grosinger reason, john state because because of the mismanagement of the economy by the government, every striking sort of you can every strike that is to envision so because now or is newton. this is what is heavily now. in a smaller scale, haven't you stand is the approaches we can calculate you purchased, but they don't end up, you know, just for testing. they didn't route and they're doing good already. nice, good. but it came from the policies of the agency who said the country must be made and governor, or the former president, jacob's whom i was sentenced to 15 months in prison for contempt of court after refusing to appear before judicial inquiry and investigating corruption during his
5:25 pm
