World Headlines; Google Addresses Harassment Allegations Detailed in NYT Report
KRISTIE LU STOUT, CNN NEWS STREAM SHOW HOST: I'm Kristie Lu Stout in Hong Kong. You're watching "News Stream." These are your world headlines. U.S. authorities haunting a serial bomb maker are examining a mail facility near Miami, Florida. All 10 pipe bombs sent to prominent Democratic figures, CNN and others went through the U.S. mail system. Investigators are treating the incident as domestic terrorism. In China, at least 14 children have been wounded in a knife attack at a school. Video circulating online shows the victims being rushed to a local hospital. Police say a woman stormed into the school and stabbed kindergartens as they return from morning exercises at a nearby park. It happened in the city of Chongqing. The suspect is now in custody. Cathay Pacific Airlines is under fire for waiting seven months to reveal a massive data breach. It affected more than nine million passengers. The airline says back in March, hackers accessed personal data including names, passport numbers, birthdays. Some credit card numbers were hacked. No passports were compromised. China is denying a New York Times's report that claims it is listening in U.S. President Trump's phone calls. Mr. Trump reportedly uses unsecured phones against official advice to make personal calls. In a tweet, he says this, that the Times wrote a boring article that was so incorrect he did not have time to point out the errors. The report alleges both China and Russia routinely listen to the president's conversations this way. A spokeswoman for China's foreign ministry dismissed the claim of Chinese's eavesdropping as fake news and appear to offer some cybersecurity advice.</s>HUA CHUNYING, DEPUTY DIRECTOR, FOREIGN MINISTRY INFORMATION DEPARTMENT OF THE PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC OF CHINA (through translator): Reading this news report makes me feel that some people in the United States really are sparing no efforts to contend for the Oscars for best screenplay. For those who fear iPhones are being hacked, Huawei mobile phones can be good alternative.</s>LU STOUT: Cliche (ph), OK, but are the U.S. president's phone habits a threat to national security? Earlier, CNN U.S. security analyst Samantha Vinograd spoke to my colleagues Amara Walker and Michael Holmes.</s>SAMANTHA VINOGRAD, CNN U.S. SECURITY ANALYST: When I worked at the White House, all of our personal cellphones were locked away in a special box whenever we were at the White House. And President Obama had a very specific government-issued cellphone that didn't really have a whole lot of services on it, so that he would minimize a risk of a foreign intelligence service being able to access what he was doing and who he was talking to. This president since day one has worn his Twitter heart on his sleeves which really signals to foreign intelligent services what he is up to, what gets under his skin, and what makes him tick. And if he is using his personal cellphone, he is literally opening up the line to highly advanced foreign intelligence services from Russia and China, which of according to his own director of national intelligence, have the most advanced counter-intelligence capabilities than anyone in the world.</s>LU STOUT: Insight there from CNN U.S. security analyst Samantha Vinograd. Google has addressed the harassment allegations detailed in "The New York Times" article. In an e-mail to employees, top Google executives including its CEO stressed that the firm is "dead serious" about providing a safe and inclusive workplace. This comes after "The New York Times" published a report saying that Google stayed silent about sexual misconduct allegations against three executives over the past decade. One of them, the creator of Android, Andy Rubin, who left the company in 2014 with the reported $90 million exit package. A shipwreck thousands of years old in a virtually perfect condition is captivating archaeologists around the world. Why it is so uniquely well- preserved and what researches have learned about it. That's next.
