A Global Cyber Gang Accused Of Industrial Scale Fraud has been busted by police. Its accused of offering a service to criminals which allowed them to steal from victims using fraudulent Text Messages. 37 people worldwide have been arrested, 24 of them in britain. Its estimated that 70,000 people have fallen victim to the scams, which saw them put their personal details into a website hosted by labhost. Our correspondent tom symonds has the details. Its 5am in south london the end of a two year investigation. This was one of a series of coordinated raids, targeting cybercrime in 17 countries, masterminded from the uk. One man was arrested here and 23 others around the uk. And this all began about two years ago when Security Experts for the Banking Industry spotted on the dark web criminals offering other criminals a service a way to make money using phishing with a ph. Labhost provided the technology and training for other criminals to carry out Phishing Attacks sending fraudulent Text Messages to get people to hand over their personal data. The police say there were an estimated 70,000 victims in the uk, bombarded with messages linking to 47 fake websites usually seeming to be online payment or shopping services. 480,000 Payment Card Numbers have been stolen and 64,000 pin numbers. And if you thought only older or less technically savvy people get scammed, well, youd be wrong. The victims in this case have been aged between about 25 and 45, predominantly. Pretty young, then. Digital natives. Well, its people who live their lives online that perhaps do their banking online, that shop online. Theyre more likely to fall victim to this because their use of the internet is just so prevalent. As the arrests were taking place, including at luton and manchester airports. You have been identified as involved in labhost. Police were also contacting 25,000 victims theyve identified, giving details of how theyve been scammed and giving them advice. As for labhost, well, yesterday, this was the moment it was shut down and replaced with this message from the police to the scammers. Tom symonds, bbc news, south london. The Scottish Government is expected to ditch its flagship target of reducing Greenhouse Gas emission by 75 percent by 2030. The bbc understands that the governments annual Climate Targets could also be scrapped, but the final goal of reaching net zero by 2045 will remain. Our scotland editor james cook explains. The Scottish Government, led by humza yousaf, prides itself on ambitious Climate Targets, pledging to reduce emissions to net zero by 2045, five years earlier than the uk government. That 2045 target will remain. But this afternoon the Scottish Government is expected to confirm that its scrapping an interim target of a 75 cut in emissions by 2030. Even before the formal announcement, one snp minister expressed her disappointment. The Committee Said that they had their concerns on it. Im disappointed, i have to say. I have to admit that i am disappointed by that. Disappointed with that. The move comes after an independent report said the Scottish Governments policies and plans to hit the 2030 target fell far short of what is needed. But the decision to actually ditch the target has still left some environmental campaigners frustrated. So if the Scottish Government scrap these targets, it would be the worst environmental decision in the history of the Scottish Parliament. The 2030 targets could and should have been met. We need urgent Climate Action this decade, not more delays like this. The snp and its partners in government, the scottish greens, are now under pressure to explain in detail how scotland can credibly meet its 2045 emissions target without hitting the 2030 milestone. James cook, bbc news. We can go live now to our bbc scotland Political Correspondent andrew kerr, who is at holyrood.

So kwe this has been other parties in scotland . So kwe this has been a other parties in scotland . So kwe this has been a really other parties in scotland . So kwe this has been a really interesting. This has been a really interesting day here at the Scottish Parliament because of course here in edinburgh, the greens, as james was pointing out, are in government with the snp. So, this has been a day, as the scottish conservatives have been saying, of Abject Humiliation for the snp and the greens in government. Now, of course, they are still hoping to reach the 2045 net zero target, but they are dropping this interim target. What makes it perhaps particularly embarrassing for the governor here is that they have been quite boastful in the past of having these world leading targets, as they have been described. The former First MinisterNicola Sturgeon said they were the most stretching in the world. And it will be interesting now for us to wait and see not only the reaction from the Opposition Parties here, but also the reaction from green party members, too, the greens, who are in government with the snp. Some people have also said this might be the lib dems moment for the greens, of course, the lib dems were Income Addition with the Conservative Party at uk government level from 2010 to 2015, and i think lib dems here are wondering if this might be the tuition fees moment, the moment when people perhaps turn against the green party, as people maybe turn against the lib dems. Turned. But we also heard from jamess package about the reaction from environmental groups greenpeace, saying this is like lighting a match in a petrol station, it is a very dangerous step to take. At oxfam were saying, this is an acute global embarrassment for the Scottish Government. Embarrassment for the Scottish Government embarrassment for the scottish covernment. , ~ , government.

Yes, of course, alex salmond, the former First Minister, | salmond, the former First Minister, who started to set up some of the, quotes, world leading targets, perhaps slightly more achievable ones, and of course mr salmond is no fan of the snp, despite being a former party leader, and of course in particular he is no fan of the scottish green party, either. He feels in particular they are dragging the snp over perhaps to the left, being in favour of such things as trans rights, which mr salmond is perhaps not so keen on talking about. He thinks that some of these issues are talked about too much and there should be more of a Focus On Business and growth, for example, from the Scottish Government. So, mr salmond, no fan of the present Scottish Government, and of course the former First MinisterNicola Sturgeon, saw that criticism has come far and wide. But when you look at what the Scottish Government are saying, they are blaming the United Kingdom government for backpedalling on their own environmental commitments such as delaying or stalling when the ban on petrol and Diesel Engines should come in. So, this is a very significant day, very embarrassing day, perhaps, that the government are hoping to get over. The House Of Lords declined to back down on its requirements for changes to the law on sending migrants to rwanda. We arejoined now by to the law on sending migrants to rwanda.

But in this most recent development, the amendments that were successfully tabled in the House Of Lords, theyre not bill wrecking amendments, they are actually fairly modest, one is to prevent the relocation to rwanda of people who have assisted the British Military in the past, for example, afghan interpreters. And the other one is to allow the Home Secretary to be able to change their mind in future as to whether rwanda is safe, because the bill as currently drafted says, implies, that rwanda is safe forever and always. So, these are quite modest amendments, all eyes now on the government to see if they are going to throw the lord a bone that the bill can pass next week.
