investigation into the alleged saudi hacking ofjeff bezos's phone stop good morning, asia.lo, world. welcome to asia business report. 17 people are now confirmed to have died from coronavirus and 571 have been infected. the debts are from provinces around wuhan which is now shut down all transportation links. wuhan is home to 11 million people and nearly half of the well‘s 500 biggest companies have investments in the area. following the outbreak, we sure shares in chinese drug manufacturers rising sharp while airline and hotel stocks took a dive. it's because vast numbers of people are travelling for the lunar new year holidays. close to 7 million chinese tourists travel overseas for the celebrations in 2019. and it reminds us of the outbreak of sars in 2003 which had a major impact on the global economy. the virus has been confirmed in japan, thailand, south korea and the united states but over the past hours, the world health organization announced it will not yet declare an international public health emergency over the outbreak. the decision about whether or not to dec

and this is what bezos wrote in early 2019. he clearly had his suspicions. bezos wrote...et's bring in agnes callamar, the un special rapporteur, and iyad el baghdadi, author of the forensic report. you just heard the response of the saudi government who said you have no hard evidence. let me clarify first that i am not the author of the forensic report. the forensic report was prepared by fti. i have i'io report was prepared by fti. i have no relations with them. but however idid no relations with them. but however i did work very closely with bezos's security team ahead of commissioning the report and i had my eyes on the saudi information network as far back as october 2018, right after the murder of my friend jamaal khashoggi. my team had an idea that something very serious was going on months before we establish a relationship with bezos's security team. it is common for world leaders to have a twitter account, he was up account and somebody in their office might be sending out messages. why do you think the crown prince knew what was going on? it is clear to us right

, which technical experts say infected bezos' phone. khashoggi was killed in october by saudi government officials with the cia concluding with high confidence the crowned prince was behind the plot the next month a photo is texted to bezos to the phone with an image resembling a woman with whom bezos then marry was having an affair. it was later exposed by "the national enquirer." bezos confirmed the affair and said the saudis had access to his data including embarrassing photos. the saudi foreign minister denying it all today. >> the idea that the crowned prince would hack jeff bezos' phone is absolutely silly. >> reporter: the spyware company also denies involvement if the crowned prince attacked bezos' phone, is anyone safe >> the saudi regime has no fear of attacking a u.s. citizen and not any citizen, the head of a major u.s. company. >> reporter: tonight bezos tweeted a picture of himself at khashoggi's memorial, even as activists ask why the president he will sxwrekted mounting intelligenc against the saudi crowned prince in kha

the idea that the conference would havhack jeff bezos's phone is silly. my understanding of the u.n. report, it is not a report from it is a statement by a private company that is not vetteed an conclusions, no hard evidence to substantiate the claim. laura: the u.n. is calling for an investigation what itnalled the cr prince's direct and personal efforts to tarpot perceived nents will jeff bezos, the owner of "the washington post," responded with a tweet syriz simply saying #jamal. ttmark fischer has w about this for " the post" he joined me a short time ago.what does ii conference that he was linked to the hacking of jeff bezos's phone? marc: certainly very troubling for the kingdom of saudi arabia. we have heard from people close to crown prince mohammed that an aide installed the mal tre jeff bezos. they're trying to create some distance witthis act. but the what makes a strong circumstanal case at least that there was an enormous amount of information taken, extracted from jeffs bezos' cell phone a by an toaccount that belongs to the crown prince. la

extramaritalinffair and that uded information that bezos believes came from the saudis. laura: the u.n. said that this was done to influence the ng"wasn post" reporting of saudi arabia. did that happe?at a marc: certainly there was no influence. when we heard is this was a reaction to jamal khashoggi's columns in "t washington post" and the aggressive coverage in the aftermath of his mder. the timing is such that the initial infection of bezos's phone came five months before the khashoggi murder. whatever falling out tre was between the crown prince and jeff bezos took place before the murder. y certaiter the murder there was a concerted campaign by the saudis' online tweet campaign against bezos and against his company amazon and the newspaper hewns, "the washington post." laura: marc fisher, thanks for being with us. the city of wuhan in china has close all public transport as officials tryhe to halt spread of a new virus. 17 people in china have now died from the coronavirus, and there are more tcln 440 cases ing an american who traveled to china. for vulnerable peopl

soon after, the "national enquirer" broke the story of bezos' affair, and bezos blamed the saudis.ay the saudi foreign minister denied his government's involvement in hacking bezos' phone. >> i think "absurd" is exactly the right word. the idea that the crown prince would hack jeff bezos' phone is absolutely silly. >> o'donnell: what do we know about how someone would gain access to bezos' phone? >> reporter: this was spyware, and we're told bezos didn't have to click on it to sweep up his information. it can get your passwords, text messages, even have access to your phone. now the u.n. is calling for the u.s. to investigate. the f.b.i., though, is not commenting. >> o'donnell: and raises questions about how one can protect themselves. >> reporter: exactly. >> o'donnell: thank you, jeff. tonight, five major american airports are ramping up screenings of passengers coming in from wuhan, china, a city now on lockdown because of the spreading coronavirus. the world health organization is having emergency meetings as they decide whether to label this a global emergency. the death toll

saying you'd like some more information about the hike that jeff bezos has been talking about he says that this is part of a growing trend of saudi arabia hacking using tools to try and get information the timeline here is very important jeff bezos believes his phone was hacked around me 2800 that's a number of months before the death of jamal khashoggi although he was writing critical comments critical columns in the washington post at that time but it's also our own that time that jeff bezos was doing a tour around in the middle east because he was talking about citing a large share of put a farm somewhere in the area and sodium arabia was very keen to land that $1000000000.00 project so there is the real possibility that his phone was hacked because the saudis wanted to get information who else was he talking to what

democratic senator from oregon he has said that he would like to get some more information from jeff bezos because he says this is part of a growing trend with so dear arabia using cyber truly to hike into foreign so you've got to remember the kind scale of this jeff bezos believes he was hacked sometime around may 28th teen so that several months before the murder of jamal khashoggi but it's exactly around the time when jeff bezos was in saudi arabia talking about the possibility of putting a massive sever farm somewhere in the middle east this is a $1000000000.00 project and so the saudis would have been very keen to find out who else he was speaking to what sort of information they could glean what they could possibly use to their advantage if there was anything that they could offer so jeff bezos that was being offered by anyone else and certainly it's interesting
