reason we know of the decision is from an apparent ministerial leak at a meeting of the national security councilch has only served to raise public concern whilst undermining the integrity of our security agencies. so let me be clear, from the side of the house, if a minister did leak the information, they are not fit to serve in the cabinet — and are certainly not fit to be prime minister. we heard last month in a report chaired by the head of the ncsc that they still have only limited assurance that the long—term security risk presented by huawei can be managed, and they are still identifying significant issues. ultimately the chronic lack of investment by this government has meant that we are without thriving digital or manufacturing industries capable of producing this equipment, leaving us reliant on foreign suppliers. jeremy wright said no final decision had been made, but he did agree with her about the leaking of information from the national security council. officials including the security intelligence agencies referred to in her remarks — which i'll come back to — need to feel that th

have you leaked important information from the national security council?hing is ridiculous to my mind, i don't know how you would go about doing this, maybe ijust don't understand it. the idea that you can get people's mobile phones and asked them to account for their movements, if someone is determined to leak this information they are not going to do it in this information they are not going to do itina this information they are not going to do it in a really obvious way. it is not going to be the kind of paper trail you would expect, they are going to delete messages or they could use encrypted services anyway. there are lots of ways to do this now electronic me that can't be traced, and so basically you are hoping that someone will confess. that seems unlikely. has the dialogue been approached by the investigation —— has the telegraph been approached by the investigation? i don't know, that is above my pay grade. it does bring up wide implications about press freedom and people being able to blow the whistle, we felt this was in the public interest and

when it was set up in 2010, the national security council, was designed to be a space where senior officialseville—jones, who came up with the idea of the national security council. can you give me your impression of what has happened here in the severity of what's happened? what has happened here in the severity of what's happened ?|j what has happened here in the severity of what's happened? i think what is serious about what has happened is that in the national security council which is dedicated to solely to security issues and security issues of importance, when the confidentiality of that committee is reached, it means not only is potentially the national security of the country prejudice but it means the information that allies exchange between them and the trust with a great level of trust involved, it means that more so that is potentially prejudiced and then our allies upon whose exchange of information and so on ultimately we all depend for our safety, that is also put at risk. it is a serious matter when this kind of information is leaked into the open. i have to say on this occa

you are number two on the national security council. p, who wasn't, why i wasn't. as we spoke the security forces raided a bomb—making factory in the east of the country where they found a giant so—called islamic state flag. huge quantities of ball bearings, and explosives. this was the safe house of the easter sunday bombers, a major breakthrough in the investigation. but with a dysfunctional ruling elite, the desperate hope is that this country's leaders can unite to beat initial thoughts are that this was probably the safe house for another series of devastating attacks somewhere here in sri lanka. at the moment we understand that there is an ongoing gun battle in that area. this episode in the hunt for the easter sunday bombers is far from over, sophie. clive, thank you. it is just after quarter past six. our top story this evening: police release new images of the man they believe killed the journalist lyra mckee in northern ireland last week. coming up: i am at anfield where liverpool have a chance to go top of the table in what is

have become almost a customs to leaks from this government, leaks from cabinet, but the national security councild confidential material regarding our national security and i think the widespread expectation is that downing street will have to launch some sort of enquiry to establish how these discussions were passed on to the daily telegraph. joining me as dominic grieve, the head of the intelligence and security committee. give us a sense of what the significance of these sort of leaks are. the leak itself, the content of it, something that was likely to come into the public domain 24 hours later may not be particularly significant but the principal that what is discussed at the national security council is kept totally confidential is really important, and that that should have been breached in this fashion and i cannot think of any other occasion when it's happened before, i think is deeply worrying. the consequences for whoever leaked it, i presume, they would be sacked, but do you have any sense of the likelihood of who, because the security council has both ministers and officials. who is

the government is now angry that story got leaked into the press from a national security council meeting the nsc scene since its inception in 2010, it isa scene since its inception in 2010, it is a weekly meeting minister holds that brings together the armed forces, intelligence, and senior cabinet ministers. how did this happen? clearly, things could not get out of nsc meetings. there will be an inquiry into that. it will not be an inquiry into that. it will not be ita be an inquiry into that. it will not be it a criminal inquiry, it will be done by senior civil servants, but it shows you the gravity, and there are three big issues, number one was whether it was a smart idea to use huawei and i think we discussed that on beyond 100 days yesterday and the second one is what does this issue do for the way the uk‘s allies feel about the uk, that things could leak out from the holy of holies, and the third issue raised is, what on earth has happened to discipline in the uk cabinet in british politics? the idea that something could leak out from there is very serious, and you could say that,

the united nations security council has adopted a heavily watered down resolution on sexual violence n conflict the measure was originally put forward by germany as the centerpiece of its security council presidency but russian and chinese objections led to extensive rewrites before the u.s. threatened to veto the resolution entirely critics say the end result does not do justice to the victims of sexual violence in war. women in syria are a hinge a muslim women women in all wars throughout the ages allegations of rape as a weapon of war spring up wherever there is armed conflict rape is a war crime under the geneva convention but enforcing its prosecution has long remained unattainable german foreign minister who has brought this issue front and center turning germany's term as chair of the un security council. also coauthored an opinion piece in the washington post with actor angelina jolie urging the perpetrators of sexual violence be brought to justice while presiding over the council germany introduced a resolution which would make it easier to prosecute rapists and help victims
