Cyber security here in the United States currently is an absolute joke.

Earlier this week, a settlement was reached with Yahoo for the world's largest data breach

that took place in 2013 and 2014 and affected close to 200 million people here in the United

States.

Three billion, actually, worldwide were effected by the hack that took place with Yahoo accounts,

2013 and 2014 and to make it worse, the company actually kept it a secret for two years before

finally letting users know, "By the way, your address, your name, your phone number, your

date of birth and other personal information, yeah, that's all been stolen by hackers and

that was actually stolen a couple of years ago.

Oops.

Our bad."

The same thing, I think, with up to 50 million users affected here in the US just happened

with Facebook.

A couple hundred million people also had their personal data breached with Equifax about

a year and a half, two years ago almost.

These hacks and these security breaches have become the new normal with online internet

service providers, email providers, social media sites, credit monitoring organizations,

they all have such poor security.

The United States is in absolutely no position to put any kind of security up there that

our data is permanently at risk.

If you're on Facebook, if you've got a Gmail, if you've got a Yahoo email account, if you

subscribe to one of these crediting monitoring services, your data is currently at risk.

We have seen too many stories like this come out in recent years and here's the biggest

problem.

The reason why we're not seeing any action on cyber security is because of the lobbying

and campaign money coming from these organizations who actually profit off of it.

Equifax is a great example.

They did not lose their government contract even after they leaked all of our personal

data that we never gave them, actually, and that's one of the worst things about it.

We didn't give them our data.

They actually got it from the government and then accidentally leaked it and then got another

government contract after it was revealed that they did this.

Then companies like Equifax actually profit even more when other groups like Yahoo or

Facebook accidentally let our data get stolen because as part of this new settlement with

Yahoo, which still has to be approved by a district judge, that's coming up late November,

they're gonna offer people $375, assuming you can prove that your data was stolen and

you had to spend your personal time dealing with the fallout from that.

If you can't prove that you had to deal with anything from it, you get $125 but nonetheless,

that money is actually supposed to be spent paying a credit monitoring service to make

sure nothing bad happens with your data.

You don't even get to keep that money from the settlement.

That actually goes back to these other corporations, most of which are actually subsidiaries of

big banks here in the US so they profit again off of your stolen data.

That's how it works in the United States, that's why we have such poor cyber security,

why cyber security laws in the US are lagging so far behind the rest of the world because

we don't care enough to let corporations be punished and instead, we actually reward them

when they put everything you have worked for for your entire life up for hackers to grab.

That's what's happening in the United States and unfortunately, it appears that all of

our internet service providers, our cell phone providers, social media sites, all of them

are vulnerable because the US continues to fail to act.

Octavio Solis on growing up a 'skinny brown kid' on the U.S.-Mexico border - Duration: 5:47.

JUDY WOODRUFF: With immigration at our southern border very much in the news, we finish tonight

with a perspective that takes a longer view.

Jeffrey Brown recently spoke with playwright Octavio Solis about a new memoir chronicling

his childhood along that border.

OCTAVIO SOLIS, Author, "Retablos: Stories From a Life Lived Along the Border": They're

naive art painted by an artist for a specific person.

JEFFREY BROWN: They're called retablos, small, simple paintings of Mexican folk art, often

religious in nature.

OCTAVIO SOLIS: Like, in this one here, this man has been stung by a bee.

JEFFREY BROWN: Octavio Solis has collected them for years.

OCTAVIO SOLIS: Each one of these is like a flash fiction story.

JEFFREY BROWN: Flash fiction?

OCTAVIO SOLIS: Because it's all encapsulated in one image with a little writing in it.

JEFFREY BROWN: "Retablos" is also the name of Solis' latest work, a collection of stories

about his childhood along the Texas-Mexico border.

OCTAVIO SOLIS: That's what revisiting El Paso is like for me, like walking into a retablo

with a rusty surface for a sky and misremembered family and friends for saints and supplicants,

and the lost, distilled moments of my border past for miracles.

JEFFREY BROWN: Octavio Solis, author of more than 20 plays regularly performed around the

country, is one of the leading Latino voices in the theater.

We're not on the border anymore, are we?

You're not.

OCTAVIO SOLIS: Oh, no, not at all.

JEFFREY BROWN: He lives in rural Oregon now, but in "Retablos," he looks back at himself

as what he calls a skinny brown kid.

OCTAVIO SOLIS: That's what I was growing up there, and with everything that comes with

it, all the hangups that come with being a young man who's unsure of who he is and what

he is as an American growing up in El Paso, Texas.

JEFFREY BROWN: You describe a family that is in some ways living on the border of legality

as well.

OCTAVIO SOLIS: Oh, yes.

JEFFREY BROWN: You're born in the U.S., your mother not, but she becomes legal.

Your father's not at first.

OCTAVIO SOLIS: We saw people crossing all the time around our household.

They looked exactly like us, but they weren't us.

We always found a way to kind of create distance.

But we were so much like them.

And there was -- that distancing didn't work at some point, because Border Patrol would

always stop us and ask us for -- like, where do you live?

Can you recite the Pledge of Allegiance to us?

JEFFREY BROWN: So, you always felt that?

OCTAVIO SOLIS: I always felt that.

That never left me.

JEFFREY BROWN: Those tensions have often been a theme in his work, including a new version

of "Don Quixote" that was staged this summer at the California Shakespeare Theater.

ACTOR: To fight for the unemployed.

(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)

OCTAVIO SOLIS: Using the "Quixote" spine, the spine of that story, I was able to tell

a new story about the border and about the Border Patrol and about the immigration issues

that we're dealing with today.

I feel it incumbent on me, in these times, to address the issues that I feel are endangering

Latinos in this country.

JEFFREY BROWN: So your Quixote is going through that landscape on the border?

OCTAVIO SOLIS: And instead of fighting -- tilting at windmills, he's tilting at surveillance

drones that the Border Patrol puts out around the desert there.

JEFFREY BROWN: Recently, Solis had a chance to reach and teach an audience of millions,

as part of a team of cultural consultants hired by Pixar for the blockbuster hit "Coco,"

an animated film about a boy and his family in Mexico.

OCTAVIO SOLIS: They had us look at every aspect of the film.

We became the firewall between something that could be cooked up just for sales and something

that was authentic to the culture.

JEFFREY BROWN: Authentic to the culture, meaning?

OCTAVIO SOLIS: To the culture, meaning a story that would accurately depict the Latino, the

Mexico culture in Mexico in the film.

So...

JEFFREY BROWN: Which doesn't often happen.

OCTAVIO SOLIS: Doesn't often happen at all.

And films seldom bring consultants in to say -- to check, is the dialogue sounding authentic?

Is this correct Spanish?

Would a character dress this way?

JEFFREY BROWN: Solis says he was pleased with the final result, and the popularity it enjoyed.

OCTAVIO SOLIS: It was a way also for general American audiences to relate to someone who's

colored like me in a way that is so immediate and visceral and humane.

That's what's so puzzling and so disturbing about the times that we're living in, that

a film like "Coco" can attract such a wide audience, and yet at the same time, a lot

of that audience is demonizing us.

It's really -- it's very hard.

It's very hard to sort of see that.

I don't understand.

JEFFREY BROWN: These days, with wife Jeanne and their daughter Gracie, there are chickens

and goats to tend, and also new plays on the horizon.

One is called "Mother Road," a kind of sequel to John Steinbeck's classic story of migrant

workers, "The Grapes of Wrath."

The nearby Oregon Shakespeare Festival will stage it as a world premiere next summer.

For the "PBS NewsHour," I'm Jeffrey Brown in Medford, Oregon.

Scott Wallace on 2018 U.S. House election for PA 1st District - Duration: 3:34.

I would not say that we agree on climate I would not say that we agree on guns

There's so many differences. Number one he takes endless corporate PAC money and

I do not I will not take a dime from a corporate pack or a lobbyist he's taken

a million bucks he is anti-choice he wants to defund

Planned Parenthood I believe in a woman's right to choose

I believe in Planned Parenthood on guns he says he wants to prevent gun violence

but he is for the NRA's number one legislative priority: concealed carry

reciprocity which is allowing someone from Texas from out of state come into

Pennsylvania with a concealed weapon that is legal in Texas and walk into a

church or a school here in Pennsylvania no matter what Pennsylvania law says

that's Brian Fitzpatrick's priority on guns

I think Democrats that everybody needs to take a deep breath and wait for

Robert Mueller to do his job. I am running to get a seat in the US Congress which

will in essence be a jury on whatever Robert Mueller decides you don't get on

to a jury with your mind already made up to convict or to acquit let's wait

The biggest challenge for our criminal justice system is switching what we

measure, switching the metrics instead of measuring just convictions let's measure

crime prevention. Let's count our successes at getting a drug addict off

drugs, at getting someone with mental illness the treatment that they need

someone with PTSD getting them the proper treatment we must focus more on

preventing recidivism than simply locking people up

Yes, I believe drugs must be treated as a health problem and the number one

mission should be harm reduction we have to reduce the amount of addiction the

amount of disease and the more the government can regulate and see the

harms that are being caused and play a constructive role in making them more

healthy and perhaps intervene with access to treatment the better off

society will be less drug abuse and less crime

I support of reconfiguring of our tax system which currently is skewed toward

the very top end the tax bill that we just enacted two trillion dollars the

vast majority of it went to wealthy investors, 40% of whom by the way are not

American so $400 billion was shipped abroad in the form of boosted

value of stocks that were bought back by the companies we can do so much more if

we target that four hundred billion dollars or that trillion dollars or the

next three trillion dollar bill that the Republicans have teed up targeted

specifically to creating jobs building infrastructure raising wages fund the

Department of Labor to improve working conditions and strengthen unions so that

they can collectively bargain for better wages and working conditions for the

working people of America

The Midterms Minute White House women stump for Republicans US news - Duration: 1:51.

The Midterms Minute White House women stump for Republicans US news

In today's politics news: Andrew Gillum faces questions about FBI investigation; moderate Republican hangs on in Florida; Mississippi special election heading for runoff

In today's politics news: Andrew Gillum faces questions about FBI investigation; moderate Republican hangs on in Florida; Mississippi special election heading for runoff

Good evening, I'm Ben Jacobs with the latest from Washington and beyond. If you're not already receiving the Midterms Minute by email, sign up.

Some of the top Republican surrogates for the midterms have been female White House staffers. Kellyanne Conway, Sarah Sanders and Ivanka Trump have all spent substantial time hitting the campaign trail. In fact, although Sanders has only held two press briefings in the past two months, she has appeared at a dozen events for Republicans this fall.

Why them? First of all, because they are not Donald Trump. While Trump is popular in deep red areas, many of the battlegrounds in 2018 are suburban areas where Trump is deeply unpopular. Further, they are women and Trump is viewed unfavorably among female voters, something that was not necessarily helped by the confirmation fight over Brett Kavanaugh.

Andrew Gillum, the Democratic nominee for Florida governor, has long faced scrutiny over an ongoing investigation about ethical lapses while serving as mayor of Tallahassee. New questions were raised on Tuesday when it was revealed that he had accepted a free ticket to the musical Hamilton from men whom he believed to be property developers trying to do business in Tallahassee and were actually undercover FBI agents. Gillum has insisted the ticket was paid for by his brother.

Is this a big deal? It could be. Before a major infusion from out-of-state billionaires, Gillum's campaign in the primary had floundered over the corruption investigation in Tallahassee. Although Gillum has insisted he was not a target, it has still raised major questions about his ethics.

Republican Carlos Curbelo is the model of a moderate Republican who has been able to win in a Democratic-leaning district. The two-term congressman from south Florida won by 12% in 2016 while Hillary Clinton won his district by 16%.

Is this unusual? Yes, and Curbelo is still holding on this year while other Republicans in similar districts like Barbara Comstock in Virginia and Mike Coffman in Colorado are in far greater political peril.

The special election for US Senate in Mississippi may be headed for a runoff. A new poll of likely voters in Mississippi has shows the incumbent Republican Cindy Hyde-Smith with 38%, Democrat Mike Espy with 29% and hard-right conservative Republican Chris McDaniel with 15%. The election will be held on 6 November but if no candidate gets 50% of the vote, there will be a runoff on 27 November.

So can Democrats win? It's still Mississippi and a poll of a runoff had Espy losing to Hyde-Smith by a margin of 50%-36%. It will certainly be an uphill climb for Democrats. However, the party did win a special election for Senate in Alabama last year.

The Republican governor of Illinois, Bruce Rauner, who is down by double digits in his re-election bid, has a new negative ad out hitting his Democratic opponent JB Pritzker for his ties to Democratic party boss Mike Madigan. It features a wedding with an actor depicting Madigan, who is also the state house speaker, tying the knot with billionaire heir Pritzker. At the conclusion of the ceremony, the actor depicting the minister pronounces that "Illinois is [bleeped]."

Will it work? Doubtful. Rauner has long tried to tie Pritzker to Madigan, who is deeply associated with Democratic machine politics in the state. However, facing a massive deficit in the polls, it's unlikely that even this unconventional ad will make a difference.

Has anyone reacted? LGBT groups have and they have condemned the ad for treating same-sex weddings as "a joke".

Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick on 2018 U.S. House election for PA 1st District - Duration: 3:19.

Roots in the district, for sure. Been from the district and voting in the district

my whole life where he just voted for himself the first time this year in the

primary that's a big difference certainly our economic status I'm living

in a one-bedroom condo he's got properties all over the planet self

funding his campaign I think he's worth about you know seven hundred several

hundred million dollars but I would say the biggest difference is our approach

I'm a problem-solver I'm in the problem solvers caucus he's criticized that

caucus he's more of a party line guy and I'm more of a bipartisan approach to

government

Supporting a livable wage which we talked about this before I don't like

using the term livable wage rather than minimum wage identifying what that wage is

and attaching it to the CPI the Consumer Price Index and allowing it to track

inflation so the real purchasing power stays the same I don't think that

anybody in this country who is working should be not able to sustain themselves

from a food standpoint, from a clothing standpoint, from the basic necessities, so

I would support anything that would advance that

Ultimately moving to a public financing system. I think the money politics is a

huge problem. I was in the FBI when Citizens United when the decision came

down I believe it was April of 2010 if I'm not mistaken I was working for then

Director Mueller and my reaction of the case was it was going to lead to more

corruption. Having worked in the corruption unit, money is a root of all

problems including including especially in politics leading to corruption and I

think the more we can get that out of it and we'll have more parity and get the

the influence of special interests out the better we'll be

I think it's a bad idea. You know, I keep an open mind on virtually literally

everything and myself, Josh Shapiro has come to the same conclusion you know you

never discount anything but I think that this would be a problem on a whole host

of fronts obviously the goal with anyone in treatment of recovery is giving them

that light at the end of the tunnel. I think with something like that it poses

far too many problems. There'd be too many unintended consequences, you

know there's two things that Josh and I had discussed: the PDMP program and the

IMD exclusion issue I think those if we focus on that that's really the way to

go here

Well I got endorsed by Mike Bloomberg, Everytown USA, and Gabby Giffords

for this very reason. I've been a leader on gun safety. The Problem Solvers Caucus

has a whole slate of legislation that starts with universal background checks

gun violence restraining orders, no-fly no-buy, repealing the Dickey amendment to

allow NIH funding to go towards gun violence research there's a whole slate

of bills that you can go to the problem solvers website they're the bills we

endorsed it finds that balance between constitutional protection and community

safety they are not mutually exclusive we can advance both together

Obama, Clinton among those targeted in attempted US bombings - Duration: 7:42.

Packages containing homemade explosive devices have been intercepted en route to the homes of former US presidents Barack Obama and Bill Clinton in a wave of apparent politically-motivated attacks

New York Mayor Bill de Blasio on Thursday morning (AEST) confirmed a similar package had been sent to his offices, calling the attempted bombings of prominent politicians and public figures an "act of terror"

CNN reported that a package intercepted in its mailroom was delivered by a courier and addressed to former CIA director John Brennan, an outspoken critic of President Donald Trump and frequent commentator on the network

Another suspicious package was intercepted at a Congressional mail screening facility in Capitol Heights, Maryland near Washington DC

FBI Miami said a potential bomb addressed to Democratic Congresswoman Maxine Waters was intercepted in Sunrise, Florida

after being incorrectly mailed to the office of Democratic Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman-Schultz

CNN"s home at the The Time-Warner Centre in Manhattan was evacuated and nearby streets were cordoned off as bomb experts swept the building

FBI Special Agent in Charge C. Bryan Paarmann said the intercepted devices appeared to have been pipe bombs and were taken away to be inspected

There were no injuries.All the confirmed bombs appeared to come from the same person or persons, John Miller, the New York Police Department's head of intelligence and counterterrorism, told reporters

The package sent to the home of former secretary of state Hillary Clinton and her husband Bill Clinton was intercepted outside their residence in Chappaqua, New York

The package sent to Mr Obama was sent to his office in Washington, the Secret Service said

 "We will not allow these terrorist thugs to change the way we live our lives," Mr de Blasio, a vocal critic of US President Donald Trump, said

 Mr Trump described the attempted bombings as a despicable act, calling for unity

 "I just want to tell you that in these times we have to unify, we have to come together and send one very clear, strong, unmistakable message that acts or threats of political violence of any kind have no place in the United States of America," the President said

Mr Trump said "the full weight of our government" is investigating the packages and will "bring those responsible for these despicable acts to justice"

Mr de Blasio called on Mr Trump to bring down the rhetoric in public debate ahead of the US mid-term elections

 "For everyone's sake, the President, the Senate, the Congress, the governors, bring down the rhetoric," he said

CNN staff staff continued broadcast operations Thursday morning from offices and hotel rooms outside the Time Warner Centre

"We are working with authorities to determine the severity of the situation," CNN president Jeff Zucker said in a statement

Mr Zucker said the company was checking other bureaus worldwide for explosives as a precaution

Mr Brennan said in August that Mr Trump's actions were "treasonous" and described him as "drunk on power

"Former president Bill Clinton was at home when the package sent to his residence was found, according to news reports

Former secretary of state Hillary Clinton was campaigning in Florida.The Secret Service said the packages were identified during routine mail screening procedures

Neither of the Clintons nor Obama were at risk of receiving the packages, the Secret Service said

The Secret Service, along with New York and Washington law enforcement agencies, are investigating to determine who sent the packages, which were similar to one found on Monday at the home of the billionaire liberal activist George Soros in New York

Mr Clinton thanked the efforts of the secret service and law enforcement officers in a tweet

 Soros' foundation on Tuesday linked the packages to "hateful rhetoric" dominating US politics

The White House said Mr Trump would attend a planned political rally in support of embattled Republican Governor Scott Walker in Wisconsin later Thursday

Martial 'poised to sign new £160k-a-week deal with Man United' - Duration: 1:58.

Anthony Martial is 'ready to turn down Juventus, Paris Saint-Germain and Bayern Munich and sign a new contract at Manchester United

'The French striker has been linked with a number of leading European clubs after his relationship with United manager Jose Mourinho became strained

Martial had left United's pre-season tour of the United States to return to Paris for the birth of his son, leading to criticism from Mourinho that he didn't return quickly enough

That came after Martial, 22, fell down the pecking order at Old Trafford following the signing of Alexis Sanchez from Arsenal last January

But despite signals that Martial was ready to leave, United are now increasingly confident he will commit to a new five-year contract, according to ESPN FC

His current contract expires in 2020 though a one-year extension would be triggered if negotiations for a new deal fail

Martial had already rejected a number of contract offers from United but has now indicated he would be open to signing one worth £160,000-a-week

He returned to form with two goals in United's 2-2 Premier League draw at Chelsea last weekend and now has four goals for the season and 40 in 146 matches for United overall

Trump says Saudi crown prince may be behind Khashoggi death ... Bolton confirms US withdrawal from nuclear treaty ... far-right nationalist's wife accuses him of physical abuse

Good morning. I'm Tim Walker with today's headlines. If you'd like to receive this briefing by email, sign up here.

The caravan of more than 7,000 Central Americans moving steadily north through Mexico has become political ammunition for Donald Trump, who calls it an "assault on our country". In Huixtla, David Agren hears migrants' stories – of lives made impossible by violence, poverty and corruption – and Lauren Gambino reports on the Republicans' midterm strategy: fear and racial division.

Tech support. Tech firms including Microsoft and Amazon are making millions from surveillance, detention and deportation tools under the Trump administration's anti-immigrant agenda, according to a report.

Family ties. Nevada gubernatorial hopeful Adam Laxalt is the latest Republican midterm candidate to be publicly disowned by his own family, 12 of whom wrote a critical op-ed in the Reno Gazette.

Donald Trump has admitted for the first time that the Saudi crown prince Mohammed bin Salman, a close ally of his administration, could have been involved in the brutal murder of the journalist Jamal Khashoggi. Trump's comments, in an interview with the Wall Street Journal, came after the Turkish president, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, called for the "highest ranked" of the Saudis responsible for the killing to be brought to justice.

Arms trade. Justin Trudeau is unlikely to cancel a sale of Canadian armoured personnel carriers to Saudi Arabia. But Australia's foreign minister refused to rule out a ban on arms exports to the kingdom.

Brief encounter. With the murder still casting a pall over Riyadh, Khashoggi's son was summoned to meet the crown prince in a brief, stage-managed encounter.

John Bolton, the US national security adviser, confirmed on Tuesday that the US would withdraw from its Reagan-era intermediate-range nuclear forces treaty (INF) with Russia, after meeting with the Russian president Vladimir Putin at the Kremlin. Speaking in Moscow, Bolton said Russia had long flouted the treaty, and the US decision to withdraw was based on the "new strategic reality" of China's rise as a superpower.

Nuclear-free. The INF treaty, which was signed in 1987, is widely credited with having kept nuclear missiles out of Europe.

The wife of the prominent far-right figure Richard Spencer has accused him of emotional and physical abuse in divorce filings. Nina Koupriianova says Spencer repeatedly said "the only language women understand is violence," choked her, dragged her by her hair and tried to punch her while she was pregnant. The couple have two children.

Violent tendency. Matthew Heimbach, another leading US neo-Nazi, was arrested on domestic violence charges in March.

As part of the Guardian's week of stories from Atlanta, Khushbu Shah visits Stone Mountain, the site of the nation's biggest Confederate monument – aka "the KKK's Mount Rushmore" – to ask whether it's time to tear it down.

Global markets plunged further on Tuesday, spooked by the prospect of a US-China trade war, rising US interest rates and the budget dispute between the EU and Italy.

Hurricane Willa made landfall on Mexico's Pacific coast near Mazatlan on Tuesday night, bringing 120mph winds and threatening up to 18 inches of rain in some areas.

Tall people are at greater risk of cancer simply because they're bigger, and thus have more cells in their body at risk of dangerous mutations, a study has suggested.

The endangered Malayan tiger is facing the destruction of its Malaysian forest habitat, to make way for plantations to satisfy China's appetite for the infamously smelly durian fruit.

The old west at a new frontier: the most realistic game ever

Rockstar's latest blockbuster, the Western adventure Red Dead Redemption 2, took seven years and hundreds of millions of dollars to complete. It's a far cry from Pac-Man. Keza MacDonald goes behind the scenes of the most realistic video game ever made.

Apichatpong Weerasethakul: The director with an exploding head

The acclaimed Thai director Apichatpong Weerasethakul suffers from "exploding head syndrome", a condition that informed his new film with Tilda Swinton. He tells Hannah Ellis-Peterson about his work and its relationship to Thailand: "This country is so repressive, but is also very liveable – and I'm fascinated by that contrast."

How New Hampshire became a battlefield for voting rights

It may not be the first swing state that comes to mind in a conversation about voting rights, but since Republicans took control of New Hampshire in 2016, they have targeted the voting rights of about 90,000 college students – or so say the young Democrats running to reclaim the Granite State.

The Trump administration is reportedly considering rolling back trans rights by defining gender as fixed biology, based on genitalia at birth. Alex Myers says his own long fight for recognition tells him he'll be one of many thousands ready to resist.

The government wants to deny who I am. Wants to erase my identity. Wants to tell me who and what I can be, based on how I appeared at birth

The Red Sox outmatched the LA Dodgers in the first game of the World Series, winning 8-4 at Fenway Park, powered by a three-run homer from pinch-hitter Eduardo Núñez.

A dominant Cristiano Ronaldo helped Juventus to their 1-0 Champions League victory over his old club, Man Utd, at Old Trafford, with Utd manager Jose Mourinho admitting the Italian team were at a "different level of quality".
