Astronomy as Prime Minister says his country is being targeted in a sophisticated cyber attack however Scott Morrison stopped short of saying exactly who was behind it he wouldnt be drawn on whether the attacks are part of australias increasingly hostile rift we have china what i simply can confirm is there are not a large number of state by state actors that can engage in this type of activity and it is created by strongly advise that we have received that this has been done by i started by stacked up with very very significant type abilities lets bring it down to 0 as nicola gage who is live from canberra of via skype the strain is capital nicola what more do we know about this cyber attack well this was brought to the attention of a strangely and by the Prime Ministers morrison in an urgent press conference which is quite chilling in it so some analysts are already saying well maybe this press conference was more directed at the International Community robert than a strike against well this is going to hades but in that press conference he did say that right now several organizations are being targeted by what he called a sophisticated state based. To act and this is to tackle and go my large scale up close Many Industries and sectors including Health Education Critical Infrastructure all denies ations and he said the reason why he came out and made this significant announcement was to encourage organizations and businesses across the country to seek expedited boss to make sure that they have the infrastructure in place so they will not be hot he did say that at this stage there doesnt seem to be any major privacy breaches but he did cite that hacking attempts only arise in a strike and obviously this comes at a time of increasing tensions between beijing and destroy the have been. Tried tensions in the agricultural sections with tarps on bali but right now we dont know whos behind that attack obviously the microscope is being put on china the council of Foreign Relations says the top 3 state suspected of sponsoring Cyber Operations is russia iran and china this is what morrison was specifically about of beijing and whether it could be behind this and he said he would not be getting into that if he was to speak publicly about whether the government was behind this it would only be for the National Interest but all of his comments have been around a straggly a protecting its saltburn see a National Interest and it really was a message to the International Community and whoever is behind these attacks that its trial it will stay strong and defend itself sorry but right now Many Organizations are making sure that they have the infrastructure in place so that they can protect their privacy and as there is no clear gauge reporting live from camera in astronomy thanks deepika. Iraq has told turkey to pull its troops from the north of the country earlier this week ankara sent soldiers over the border to target kurdish fighters from the armed group the p. K. K. The Turkish Air Force also carried out air strikes baghdad says that it was a violation of its sovereignty turkey considers the p. K. K. A terrorist Group Al Jazeera has some other faultiness in baghdad and says its not just the turkish ambassador whos been summoned over Northern Iraq. At the same time the ministry of Foreign Affairs is also someone that the Iranian Ambassador over similar operations that have gone on in the north and that is quite unusual because iran is a country that is seen as wielding quite a lot of influence over past governments here in iraq and someone in the Iranian Ambassador is quite a departure from previous foreign policies and it signals that the new Prime Minister most of them is trying to create some sort of equivalence in treating all of iraqs neighboring countries in the same way insisting that they have to respect iraqs sovereignty now lets remember what happened during these operations we had 2 separate events going on in the northern kurdistan region and one was an attack by turkey which consisted of both air strikes and the ground incursion and on the Iranian Border with iraq we also had artillery strikes against an area called in and in fact we heard today that those strikes resulted in at least one civilian casualty as well as other people being injured so some morning they are in an ambassador is quite quite a relevant but also significant step now it remains to be seen how much effect these decisions will actually have because lets remember the dad does not control these areas theyre controlled by a semi autonomous Kurdish Regional government in the north the federal government does not have any troops to really enforce its requested that these attacks on Northern Iraq stop so the diplomatic channel to try to request the neighboring countries to respect iraqs sovereignty is really all that the ministry of Foreign Affairs here can do but those areas under the control of kurdish parties and those kurdish parties although they have not officially said so are likely to welcome these operations because they target the p. K. K. And the kurdish authorities are very much also likely to be keen to see the depart from kurdish areas.

His story is not unique to just him this is the story of many black men here in the United States and the challenges that they face with our criminal Justice System here in the disparity issues that we deal with throughout our entire criminal Justice System young black men in the United States are arrested at higher rates than whites they are charged criminally at higher rates they are convicted at higher rates and they usually receive longer sentences for similar crimes his story is not unique to him it is the story of many black men who are trying to get on their feet and get ahead of being tangled in tangled in our criminal Justice System is an ingrained culture within policing in the United States that is resistant to the changes the people like you are trying to make. Oh absolutely. Weve been trying to effect positive change here within our criminal Justice System mainly policing here in the United States for a very long time for decades many people still fail to realize that during my lifetime we can go back to the 1950 s. When i was a child. In this country black men who entered into policing couldnt even ride in a police car in many of these cities so as a Police Officer a black Police Officer wearing the uniform couldnt even carry a firearm couldnt even police in White Communities and they couldnt arrest white citizens its not that very long ago internally within policing here in the United States we have a serious racial issue racism is prevalent weve been trying to deal with it weve been trying to eradicate it for a very long time and if we cannot rid our own ranks of racism were certainly not going to make any advances in our community relative to police and policing and our communities so if you say there are lots of Police Officers that are trying to change the culture from within where is the blockage why isnt that happening but as prom gentleman speaking with the police union. Let me let me explain something to you. Here in the United States we have many employer groups of color we have the National Black Police Association which came about in the 1970 s. We have been National Organization of black Law Enforcement executives the National Lead pino Offices Association Hispanic Officers Association asian peace Officers Association even associations for women in policing and the reason for that is the old guard which is the fraternal order of police. Is what i consider the reservoir for racism within policing today. Fraternal order police have been around for a long time in these organizations that i mention the one of the ones of color came about because. People Police Officers of color and women could not get proper representation from the established for turn order of police the major police union here in the United States and it is that union that holds all into. Not going to publicize it but they hold on to the racism that we currently see within american policing today. Until we do something about the unions until we do something about the political power and control that they have over our elected officials its going to be very difficult to move forward in american policing in ridding it racism its pretty good still to really appreciate your work giving us your time many thanks indeed major neil franklin.
