meeting is still taking place the president is chairing that meeting the heads of the various security agencies as well as the army chief the caretaker interior minister as well the defense minister what we understand is they're discussing security developments as well as how to restore peace and stability you see the international the internal security forces they have been saying that yes we will allow people to peacefully protest but we will not allow them. vandalized public and private property and we will not allow them to assault the security forces what we saw over the past 2 nights well was the violent confrontations in the center of beirut where we are this is the security cordon outside parliament building what protesters were trying to do was try to storm the parliament building vent their anger towards an institution they believe is no longer legitimate they want lawmakers to resign they believe that those who have been in power for the last 30 years are responsible for the mismanagement of this country and they're responsible for the dire economic conditions in the country but at t

in of the big omissions their regulation is it does not apply to european government or security agencies. it only applies to private companies. we are seeing that this is somewhere where the u.s. and europeans agree that surveillance agencies should have widespread access to citizens data. to theset comes companies, there have been conversations that access to data could be an antitrust threat. it could be something that needs to be broken apart. what kind of threat does data access posed to the existence of these companies holistically moving forward? >> data is the new oil. we are to perhaps a greater realization that data is not only an asset but a liability. storing immense amounts of data on private citizens has its risks especially cybersecurity risks. not a day goes by that we don't hear about the next giant data breach. there is no real way for many americans to take measures to get themselves safer. perhaps a move toward model where we are protecting prioritizing data minimization which is the idea that perhaps companies should limit what types of information they are holding ab

do that in a more secret private way where they did not risk any repercussions from the harsh security agencies in the country and there's an example of a facebook group initially built as a way to sort of that perspective romantic crushes so all of these young women on facebook sharing images of young men and reaching out through the network and saying do you know dirt on him i should know of and anything i should be aware of and once the revolution started in the mass protests that quickly transformed into a crowd source intelligence agency and women or posting photos of men who had harassed them for their family members on the street and said can you identify this person and this security forces member so it's amazing how these almost networks that we have can be activated in moments of political crisis and achieve positive democratic -- spirit speaking to those networks does report acknowledge any efforts by them to curb some of these efforts with disinformation campaigns by governments, networks like facebook, youtube or instagram. >> guest: it's been fascinating to see over the years how

security agencies they presented the latest developments that took place since then and they went out with a series of measures the 1st measure was to protect peaceful protesters and to protect public and private properties as well as to be a tool to try to be able to detect test habitat what they called sabotage groups as since they said that they were in shooters who were among the what they called it to just be among students and they wanted to coordinate between security agencies and authorities to be able to solve all the violence that took place during that week and that. ok so we have to see whether these measures will help deescalate the situation but they have been months of protests in lebanon but as we saw in our report in the past week the anger has really intensified what explains that. the anger has intensified because it was the week that the protesters called that week afraid. for weeks for and those ignited prime minister has an adept to form his government to form. a technocratic government none that there was there wasn't a free nation so this made that i put this t

that's of the security agencies as well as the army according to the national news agency they're going to be discussing how to bring about peace and stability now we know what the position of the internal security forces is that yes we will allow protesters to vent their anger peacefully but we will not allow them to quote assault the security forces. damage public and private property but human rights groups are criticizing the security forces for quote their actions saying they use the excessive force excessive amounts of tear gas and the very fact that they the rubber bullets were hitting the eyes of the protesters their injuries to the eyes so security forces also coming under criticism for the way that they reacted to the protesters who in turn were provoking the security forces and what's being said by officials in on why there is through a delay in the announcement off a new government and a government formation. those in power the ruling alliance the politicians who the protesters want to leave power are bickering amongst themselves over shares in the next cabinet they're

the national security agency, the nsa, has discovered a vulnerability in microsoft's windows operating hackers. both the nsa and microsoft say they had no evidence that the flaw had previously been abused. this is the first time the nsa has publicly taken credit for finding a security flaw, prompting a software update. let's now tell you more. amazon founderjeff bezos arrived in india as thousands of small traders across 300 cities planned protests, claiming the firm is distorting the local retail market. arunoday mukharji has more from delhi. jeff bezos landed here in india on tuesday and one of the first steps —— stops he made was a memorial to pay his respects. amazon have been fairly tightlipped about the programme ofjeff bezos, we know he will be attending this event today as well as tomorrow. he is expected to be speaking here. his visit comes ina to be speaking here. his visit comes in a difficult time for amazon when the competition commission of india has launched an investigation into the steep discounts as well as exclusive offers on mobile phones at amazon has had to offer.

they can be the intelligence agencies, the cia, the fbi, the military, the national security council,he bankers, and the globalists, the fossil fuel companies, or unspecified elites. but they almost always have or are pursuing some sort of effort that undermines the government. the message over and over again is that this cabal is either illegitimate itself, it is making the government illegitimate, or it is in cahoots with illegitimate unelected forces, and those bad actors must be opposed and uncovered for the nation to return to its true course. one of the things i always found interesting about it is the arguments really span the political divide in this red and blue state america. you can find common usage of the deep state on both sides. today, we are mostly about it from president trump and his allies in the republican party who want to cast out some motivations on the law enforcement agency, the fbi, judges, at times the cia. but it was not too long ago when left-wing critics were alleging there was a deep state alliance between, say, halliburton and the oil companies and the

>> it's not clear whether it will be the fbi but certainly the national security agency which is closelyg that russian military intelligence unit that conducted the hacking according to this private security group. certainly the nsa will have a lot of intelligence about this. whether they will give all of that to ukraine remains to be seen but they are closely watching this whole scenario and what this shows is that the russians are back at it with the same techniques trying to get the pass words out of people and steal all their e-mails and in this case it looks like it was targeted at joe biden because this is the company that put it on the board. and the other really scary thing is once they get e-mails from that company there's nothing that stops them from concocting fake and bogus e-mails and information that they could then release and suggest something amiss about joe biden when in fact it could be false. >> seems to me this is the find of thing that could have long political legs. imagine a world in which e-mails are the new clinton e-mails coming out in october of this year. is

checks and balances on the so-called of a kid that you talked about the law enforcement the security agencies that actually sized their power in very oblique ways those the introduction of those checks and balances would make the russian government far more transparent than it is now is that really not a good thing. well 1st of all wish would not speak about checks and balances in real sense ways should speak about kwasi checks and balances wage will somehow in the bowl to come trawled. next president who will not because they have powerful as putin looks know that will enable somehow to balance the powerful institution saying on 1st of all what. agency is exactly and so wouldn't that make russia by extent more democratic even though even if that's serving put in its own personal goals if one does make this system more balanced and more democratic well speaking about balance in this system where should be for a bit when balancing from outside from it's of citizens all balancing from inside and no with to see the changes switch leading to these balancing from the inside to providing the kind o

days ago there was a meeting that was chaired by the president including heads of the various security agencies and the army and what they said was we will continue to support and protect peaceful protesters but we will take action against those who vandalized public and private property or assault the security forces people are angry the anger is only escalating a government was formed late yesterday not everybody sees this government as a representative of the people the people have been in the streets for the past 3 months demanding change demanding a new leadership so the citizens of this state versus the people playing out on the streets of central beirut central beirut has been a battleground for a week now every single night we've seen scenes like this but today it is quite different it started much earlier the people did not wait before they start. to provoke security forces usually they hold a protest for a few hours before they provoke and start hurling stones at security forces and today it's much more aggressive people are much angrier so it's not clear how this is going to pan out

people who claim that there isn't balloted simply because they have been arrested by any of the security agencies and they've been asked to go through or due process but i know their support is in this government does not volatile but is right if it's not a matter of policy why have there been so few investigations the un investigators spoke about the absence of meaning effective investigations the absence of meaningful prosecution all of which are compounded she said by the lack of transparency over the vast majority of security issues that accusation about lack of transparency and effective communication strategy goes straight to your door minister doesn't it you are the minister of information serious criticism here but what i do know is a fact that. several. pieces of abuse of you know rights really against soldiers have not only be investigated but people have been punished and have been made public how many how many people i don't know of had but i knew the minister of information was of course i can know everything but i knew for i know that the military or so is very jealous of his reputa

defense department,the uniformed, intelligence committee, law enforcement because the national security agencies are actually substantially less diverse in terms of race, religion, sexual orientation, national origin, you name it. every mention of diversity and certainly gender diversity, then is the overall federal service more broadly. and we cared about that not just as a matter of principle or policy preference. we, in the obama administration, and president obama himself, viewed having diverse talent around the national security decision making tables, to be itself a national security imperative. and the reason is, whether you're in government or in the corporate boardroom or in the nonprofit sector, all the studies show that better decisions derive from more diverse decision makers. and the evidence is irrefutable. and when it comes to national security, when you're interacting with peoples and countries and issues that are so complex and involve the entire world and we have literally the most diverse country on earth. we have people here from every corner of the earth with every perspecti

the national security agency in the us has been watching them.g, you have to pay up, and that there is an issue for travelex, should they pay 7 issue for travelex, should they pay up? what should they do? the natural inclination would be to pay up, get out of the curve and resolve issues with customers as quickly as possible but if they leave the payment there is no guarantee that this will be resolved and the gang could come back and say we want another $6 million to resolve this situation. if travelex plays as other companies have in the past, it shows a gang is similar to this one that this is a great way to make some serious money. the flip side is that companies like travelex, when these messages come out, that they should have deployed these patches to make sure that they deal with these threats, take them very seriously. we are in london, a great city for cyber companies who can help organisations like travelex to get ahead of the curve. why didn't they do this, is one of my questions. in las vegas, exciting times at ces. two things have c
