Cables, pipelines, topography as well. so, mapping the sea bed. not only are they able to map the infrastructure but they have built a fleet specifically to attack that infrastructure. in norway, this nrkjournalist has been tracking the routes of civilian vessels and in one case, he says a russian trawler crossed 130 times the svalbard cable before it was damaged. we don t know what caused that damage but we do know signals from this, one of the world s biggest satellite stations, do pass down the fibre optic cables. seperately, the bbc understands uk officials are aware of russian vessels moving around uk waters as part of this programme. it s also worth noting that reconnaissance of secret sites is not that uncommon and indeed, western nations may be doing similar things in russia.

And friday agreement. a speech in which the us president held out the promise of huge us investment if and when stable devolved government returns. he was careful though not to warn or threaten the dup as he called for a return to power sharing at stormont. as a friend, i hope it s not presumptuous for me to say that i believe democratic institutions established to the good friday agreement remain critical through the future of northern ireland. it s a decision for you to make, not for me to make, but it seems to me they are related. an effective evolved government that reflects an effective devolved government that reflects the people of northern ireland and is accountable to them, a government that works to find ways to hard problems together. it s going to draw even greater opportunity to this region. so i hope the assembly and the executive will soon be restored. that s a judgment for you to make, not me, but i hope it happens. ahead of his speech at the ulster university campus
