China and Hong Kong national security authorities launch 1st publicly known joint operation
HONG KONG — China's national security authorities in Hong Kong and the city's police launched their first publicly known joint operation, raiding the homes of six people on suspicion of colluding with foreign forces to endanger national security.
The police's statement on late Thursday did not disclose the identity of the six people suspected of breaking the 2020 Beijing-imposed national security law between November 2020 and June 2024. Beyond their homes, officers searched the office of the organization involved and seized exhibits such as bank documents and devices for further investigation, according to the statement. The six people were required to surrender their travel documents.

At least 270 bodies recovered from Air India crash site in Ahmedabad
At least 270 bodies have been recovered after a London-bound Air India plane crashed in the western Indian city of Ahmedabad, as a rescue team continues to search the site of India's worst aviation disaster in three decades. The Boeing 787 Dreamliner, with 242 people on board and 125,000 litres of fuel, lost altitude seconds after takeoff on Thursday and crashed into a residential area, killing all but one on board and at least two dozen others on the ground. Dhaval Gameti, a doctor at Civil Hospital in Ahmedabad, told The Associated Press news agency on Saturday that they have received 270 bodies so far. Most bodies were charred or mutilated, and the local authorities are working to identify them by matching DNA samples as their relatives waited to perform their last rites. Authorities said it normally takes up to 72 hours to complete DNA 10 bodies – not of the passengers – found at the crash site have been returned to their families after identification, a local official told Al Jazeera on condition of anonymity because he was not authorised to speak to the media. Of the 242 passengers and crew on board the Air India plane, 169 were Indian nationals, 53 were British, seven were Portuguese, and one was Canadian. The lone survivor, Vishwash Kumar Ramesh, 40, is under observation at the Civil Hospital for his impact wounds. Gameti said he was 'doing very well and will be ready to be discharged any time soon'. India's Civil Aviation Minister, Ram Mohan Naidu Kinjarapu, said the flight's digital data recorder, or the black box, was recovered from a rooftop near the crash site by the Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau (AAIB), which is leading the investigation into the crash. He said the government will look into all possible theories of what could have caused the crash. The AAIB said it was working with 'full force' to extract the data, which is expected to reveal information about the engine and control settings. Meanwhile, forensic teams are still looking for a second black box. Jeff Guzzetti, an aviation safety consultant and former crash investigator for both the US National Transportation Safety Board and Federal Aviation Administration, told the AP the investigators should be able to answer some important questions about what caused the crash as soon as next week as long as the flight data recorder is in good shape. Guzzetti said the investigators are likely looking into whether wing flaps were set correctly, the engine lost power, alarms were going off inside the cockpit, and if the plane's crew correctly logged information about the hot temperature outside, and the weight of the fuel and passengers. Mistakes in the data could result in the wing flaps being set incorrectly, he added. There are currently about 1,200 of the 787 Dreamliner aircraft worldwide, and this was the first deadly crash in 16 years of operation, according to experts. The United States planemaker Boeing, whose planes have been plagued by safety issues on other types of aircraft, said it was in touch with Air India and stood 'ready to support them' over the incident.

GCHQ inter took top secret data home, court told
A GCHQ intern endangered national security, risked exposing 17 colleagues, and 'threw away' thousands of hours of work when he took Top Secret data home, a court has heard. Manchester University computer science student Hasaan Arshad, 25, was in 'flagrant breach' of tight security rules when he used his mobile phone to remove material from a computer system and transfer it to his private computer on August 24 2022. Arshad, from Rochdale, Greater Manchester, pleaded guilty to an offence under the Computer Misuse Act which carries a maximum penalty of life in prison. He also admitted two charges of making an indecent photograph of a child in relation to 40 category A images and four category B images found on his personal phone following his arrest. He appeared at the Old Bailey yesterday, Friday to be sentenced by Mrs Justice McGowan. The court was told that part of the hearing – including a detailed assessment of the harm caused – would be outlined behind closed doors in the absence of the press and public. However, the court was told that Arshad's actions 'lost a tool' being developed at GCHQ, risked exposing the identities of 17 GCHQ colleagues, and undermined the trust of partners. Opening the facts in open court, prosecutor Duncan Atkinson KC said: 'His actions created a significant risk of damage to national security for reasons that can only be fully explained in a private hearing. 'In short, however, his actions compromised the security and utility of the material and the role it played in the national interest, and he also in the process put the safety of intelligence agency personnel at risk.' The Government Communications Headquarters – known as GCHQ – is the UK's intelligence, security and cyber agency and plays an important role in keeping the country safe, in conjunction with MI5 and the Secret Intelligence Service (MI6). The highest levels of security are needed for GCHQ to carry out its work to gain information about threats to the UK from 'hostile states or terrorists' by using lawful covert tools and techniques, the court was told. Mr Atkinson said: 'Put bluntly, if hostile states or terrorists were aware of how GCHQ was able to gather intelligence about their plans, they would be able to prevent the intelligence community in the UK from learning of those plans at a stage and to an extent that allows the intelligence community to thwart them.' At the time of the offence, Arshad was coming to the end of an industry year placement with a technical development team which required him to work at a secure GCHQ site near Cheltenham, Gloucestershire, and use computer systems. The court heard he was part of a team that worked on the development of 'tools and techniques' to obtain information about threats to the UK. Arshad had undergone GCHQ induction and was required to sign the Official Secrets Act. Former GCHQ intern Hasaan Arshad pictured previously leaving the Old Bailey (Image: Ben Whitley / PA) It was made 'abundantly clear' to Arshad that his access to top secret material had to be in controlled circumstances at 'an extremely secure location', Mr Atkinson said. He went on: 'In flagrant breach of those obvious and necessary restrictions, the defendant used a mobile handset provided for his use whilst on his work placement but with strictly confined scope as to its permitted use, to remove Top Secret material from the top secret network of the technical development team to which he had been attached. 'He then transported that material from the secure location where he had been working to his home, risking it falling into the wrong hands or being lost, and downloaded it onto a removable hard drive which formed part of IT system that he used at his home address. 'This home computer system wholly failed to match the necessarily exacting security requirements of GCHQ's systems, and therefore exposed this Top Secret material to the vagaries and risks of an unsecure computer system connected to the internet at an insecure location. 'This significant security breach compromised lawful intelligence related activity that was being undertaken in the national interest. In doing so, he threw away many thousands of hours of work, and significant sums of taxpayers' money.' Mr Atkinson said his actions had damaged 'confidence in UK security' because the data included the identities of a 'significant number' of GCHQ colleagues and put others' safety at 'direct risk'. Following his arrest, the defendant admitted removing data without authorisation 'out of curiosity'. He said in a statement that he had no intention to hand over the data to anyone else. He told police: 'I would like to apologise for my actions. I removed the data simply out of curiosity. 'I'm sorry for my actions and I understand the stupidity of what I have done.' Arshad said he 'went out of my way' to ensure the data was stored locally and not in the cloud. Asked if he had breached the level of trust and confidence by removing the sensitive data without authority, he replied: 'No comment.' Mitigating, Arshad's lawyer Nina Grahame KC said the defendant had been 'reckless' 'thoughtless and naive'. His internship had involved working on a 'specific project' which he had been unable to complete before the end of the placement, she explained He took the data home because he wanted to 'continue and complete the most exciting and challenging work the defendant had ever undertaken' in the hope of gaining future employment at GCHQ, Ms Grahame said.
