i genuinely expected security. massive security, actually.e like manchester arena, to put counterterrorism measures in place. the ironic thing is, at any big venue, you have to provide so many toilets. there are laws on how hot the food has to be in the canteen, yet there is no law on securities, just a recommendation, and thatjust can't, cannot be right. the idea for martyn's law was born. a legal duty for venue owners to risk assess their premises and put appropriate security and planning in place to cater for the possibility of an attack. people need to be able to go about their business and enjoy the freedom this country offers in a much safer way. it doesn't mean you can stop every terrorist attack, but it means that the government is trying to do their best to keep the public safe. we live in times where terrorism happens, it needs to be in the forefront of people's minds. in its first report, the public inquiry has backed the introduction of martyn's law. i think this is a generational opportunity. i can't think of another piece of leg

they badge themselves as security, it's as far removed from securities you can get. from security asrience with a company unrelated to showsec. training standards are low. the course i was on was a disgrace. the trainer, quite openly, was saying, you know, "if you're going to hit somebody, make sure you take them up a back "alley where there are no cameras." that's assault. it's outrageous. absolutely outrageous. guys, just show us in your bags. all right, great, thank you, cheers. so, how do you know whether you're at a venue which is taking security seriously like this one? are standards the same everywhere? there are some places where they have security outside and people are always watching what's going on, but there also places that don't really take it as seriously. just arms out of the front pocket. if you go out to a bar or venue, you may have security checks, especially if, like this one, it's staffed by guards who are licensed by the security industry authority. is that enough to prevent terrorists targeting places like this? do you feel safe generally when you go out and a

cyber security efforts. additionally the cyber director occupies a highly physical position, one that should be expected to offer a clear unified voice in public communications and advocacy. supporting lines of effort must necessarily address the fact cyberspace isn't built and operated as a single centralized organization and that it is comprised of far more than technology. the central collaboration and integration will heavily depend on how the roles and responsibilities are defined and executed while the success of a national strategy will depend as much on the skills of our people as on the technologies that they employ. given those realities we must ensure the technology is built and deployed with security foremost in mind, the supply chains that support them are free from security risks and people are cyber literate and roles, responsibilities and attendant accountability are efficiently well defined and we remove the fissures and seams in the defenses that offer adversaries opportunities to find and

you asked about security. again, as i said, if you stick or if you stick a bunch of cash in a box and send it to grandma and, and salvador, you're going to worry that somebody's going to intercept that and open it up. but vast majority time, it's almost impossible as crypto currency. luckily, that also means that once grandma gets that cash, she can be swindled out of it pretty easily because of because of online fraudsters, et cetera. the real question for salvador, how are they going to manage taxation of this? and one would suspect that at this point, they don't have a good handle on that. and in the future, if they're able to use crypto, they may have a better handle on it, especially if they use some sort of centralized exchange by breaking crypto currencies. cryptic currency is supposed to be implicitly decentralized, right? there's not gonna be supposed to be one actor by breaking them and making one actor in that country. you could feasibly, you could feasibly make, have more control over it. okay? wel

security. you know, what i mean? right now, even under the current structure, it is the state's responsibility to prosecute most crime, most crimes as the crimes, unless they're federal crime. so assault, kidnapping, you know, all of these things, that's the crime. you don't get justice and security without justice. you don't get security without justice, right? but injustice is a part of the problem that is drive in the insecurity. because if somebody attack my fun and it's all my fun and nothing ever happens to them, right? which again, remember, is the responsibility to prosecute. yes, of course the federal police has to arrest that, but we need to be talking about why aren't we see more prosecution at the state level? because until you prosecute those people, you will continue to have clashes in somebody. i talk my front, nothing happens to them. the next thing i know i'm organizing people to go type them. and you see that's like over and over again. i'm just cautioning, like we say, you know, wasn't somebody in

security. to some degree, you can say bitcoin is very secure. if you send money, you know that money has been sent to that person. on the other end, if you want to stop transactions, you can say bitcoin is not what you want, and you may be looking for another type of cryptocurrency. i think this is what we are going to see when states develop their own cryptocurrencies. they will be public, everyone will be able to use it, but it will be permission. only the state or a handful of figures can track all transactions. the infrastructure behind block chain is very important. host: if you want to trust bitcoin as a currency, you have to buy into it as such. that is where the problem lies for the skeptics. successes for those that want to take a chance on it, and it is all about trust. >> that is a big debate. when the person wrote the bitcoin paper, they said bitcoin was a trust lists technology. that is saying it is that is saying it is act of the exact opposite. you do not have to trust a single person to trust the entire system. but i very much ag

the department of homeland security is confronting serious complex and dynamic threats to the security of the nation on a daily basis. under the administration we are aggressively pursuing efforts to address the most pressing security concerns from cybersecurity to domestic violent extremism to the pandemic and more. this is hard work but that is what 240,000 colleagues in the department of homeland security do every day. they are dedicating efforts to keep the community safe and secure and the resources afforded by this congress help to ensure we can effectively meet our mission and recruit and maintain the nation's most talented professionals. the president's proposed budget will invest in our broad mission set including preventing terrorism, securing and managing the borders, repairing the broken immigration system, safeguarding cyber and critical infrastructure and strengthening national preparedness and resilience. it will provide the resources we need to keep the country safe, strong and prosperous. while i'mil unable to address te specific details of the president's budget until

he will interview brandon wales, acting director of the cyber security and infrastructure security agency at the department of homeland security. we thank you so much to you and your amazing team for making today's event possible and your huge support for this groundbreaking summit. now over to you. >> i appreciate that. excited to speak with you today and listen to the insights you have on the most important topic we have as a country. jump in, i know there's a lot of mainstream news on cybersecurity, shifts in policy of the biden administration, thinking about the future of cyberpolicy and share your perspective on the long-term future. >> thank you for hosting this event. anytime the community can get together and talk about new ways of looking at the challenges we all face, the better we can all be. when it comes to the future of cybersecurity i think about three primary acts. the first is we need more defensible architectures. there were conversations about 0 trust, that's a long-term goal and the question is how to make steady progress with the goal of reaching 0 trust architecture.

today in terms of the security situation, then obviously we can see a huge amount of security personnel. what is the situation of the airport earlier you were talking about young men who are climbing walls and fences? do you see any of them now? has that been resolved and they still have other stuff, so yeah. come on, i can. the camera cannot turn, but again, if you look at to my left, there are dozens of them outside the wall of the airport and in front of me behind the camera. of course, a lot of people, young people on the walls trying to have a glimpse of the president who is coming home after 10 long years now from bullets and gas firing on the streets of our b jones. we begin to hear some music welcome music, which is traditional in this country. dignitaries like that when they arrive. they are greeted with music, some form of happiness, but someone important has come home. so that's the situation now. but inside the apple itself, there are dozens, dozens of security forces, especially policeman on plain to detective who are here to keep the situation safe as possible. now the con

the security situation.and under—delivering. he said in 2015 that boko haram had been technically defeated. and now look what's going on. you've still got all the kidnappings and the ransoms and the killings going on in the north—east, because of boko haram. zeinab, boko haram is in the north—east. when the president took over, there were 23 local governments in the north—east that were threatened. some of them were completely taken over by the insurgents. there's none right now that's taken over by the insurgents. they come in from the bushes, they attack, they run away and hide. at that time, we had people who hoisted their flags with some of those local governments. there is none that the insurgents have taken over now, so that is progress. the president's own party are angry about the security situation. senator smart adeyemi from the ruling apc said in april this year, "insecurity is threatening us. the nation is on fire. the president must rise to the occasion and bring in people to save this country,

shipping products safely and securely is what we do. the product we transport accounts for nearly half of the consumed fuel on the east coast providing energy for more than 50 million americans that rely on us to get fuel to the pump and we supply fuel for operations such as airports, ambulances and first responders. the safety and security of the pipeline system is something we take very seriously and we operate with the interest of our customers and the country first in mind. one month ago we were the victims of a ransom where attacked by a cyber criminal group and that attack encrypted our systems although the investigation is still ongoing we believe they exploited the legacy profile that was not intended to be in use. they had a financial payment in exchange for the key to unlocking the systems. we had a cyber defense is in place but the unfortunate reality is those were compromised. this forced us to make difficult decisions, choices in real time that no company ever wants to face. i'm proud of the way people reacted quickly to is

and with the security council with the post-world war ii. that obviously the politics are fraught and include the g4 nations. but what are things to bring that security council into the t century? >> that's a tough question. we are all trying our best to make the un security council more efficient, more effective, function better and also address the reform issues to include expansion. a lot of that depends on coordinating with the other members of the security council. we actually support some expansion of the council particularly as nonpermanent members. but the chinese probably agree with us but any other security council number will get the veto but give up the veto power because we do see that as an important and then to be promoted at the security council. >> . >> so global fragility and one of the best tools to focus on women and girls and one of our best tools is addressing the issue of pregnancy and that women have full reproductive rights and we're making a big push to get rid of the gag rule that the work fda does is with syrian r

adem: one is security.other places, it is principally logistics and allegations of electoral mishaps , particularly in somalia, the fourth largest region in ethiopia. it is a combination of security, logistical challenge, and electoral mishaps. it is important to know that except for tigray, elections and the remaining parts are planned for september. if everything goes well, that will be before the next parliament is supposed to start. the ladies -- the delays are unfortunate but do not necessarily undermine the legitimacy of the elections. but the fact that tigray will be out of the election and we don't know how long, there has to be a way to ensure that their interests will be represented. there has to be a mechanism for that to happen. mohammed: william, why was the decision made to go ahead with elections when there are so many areas of the country where polls have been delayed for various reasons? is this more about the fact that it would look like a failure after the elections prior to this day or i

it's for clues on how national security cases will be conducted going forward. there's already concern that this case will undermine the very wanted and respected rule of law in hong kong. as you sat there for one thing, there is no jury in this court criminal cases. discourse customarily have a jury and also court and concern is the fact that the 3 judges overseeing this case have all been appointed by hong kong chief executive phone. kid is only 24 years old. he is accused of robbing his motorcycle into a group of policemen. and carrying a flag which had the words liberates hong kong revolution of our times, which is now seen as the secessionist phrase. and on that basis, he has been accused of violating the national security law on for to session on charges of the session. and the alternate charges of terrorism. what makes this so much more poignant? had he done the same actions 24 hours before? it's worth noting that on the day was the july 1st protest that was the 1st day the national security law had come into place. had he done this before, he would have
