Vladimir putin the kgb operateive and cloak and dagger espionage has used those effectively. interfering in elections. solar winds attack against us and allowing the russian criminal cyber groups to homestead on russian territory and attack our critical infrastructure. an arms control negotiator used to say the soviets used to put the bolder in the middle of the road and charge us to remove it. putin could reduce the effectiveness of these cyberhacking groups but he will want a price for doing t...

Many of these methods will actually render this electrostatic layer ineffective so the type of technique that you used to process and deactivate the covid virus, it is important you dont damage that internal layer so we are trying to develop methods that will do that that will not destroy that layer that at the same time are cost—effective and can be deployed cost effectively in countries around the world so a developing country for example. presumably ouve country for example. presumably youv...

That you were consistently a hawk against putin, consistently warning about vladimir putin. so youre a perfect person to ask this question, does he really -- is there any hope of containing vladimir putin? does he have any incentive to play by the rules the rest of us play by when you look at what hes gotten up away the past 20 years, keeping one president after another chasing him. >> i think theres a very fair question whether authoritarian rules believe in playing by anybodys rules other than...

One of the reasons for the four—week delay is to hit those targets of offering all adults at least one jab by the time restrictions are lifted. and weve seen more positive news about the effectiveness of those vaccines. the latest data from public health england shows that the pfizer vaccine is 94% effective against hospitalisation after the firstjab — this rises to 96 % after the second, while the astrazeneca vaccine is 71% effective against hospital admission afterjust one jab, rising to 9...

Clues from around the world. we can see first of all whats happening here in the united states. the numbers of the newly-diagnosed people, whats the likelihood that theyre diagnosis will be due to the delta variant. its sort of roughly doubling every couple of weeks or so. thats exactly the same sort of pattern that we saw with the uk or alpha variant. so, if something is more transmissible, this appears to be about 60% more transmissible than the uk variant which was more transmissible than the...

>> yeah. and on the point of vaccines, if folks see that the vaccines are slightly less effective against this covid variant, someones going wonder should i get a vaccine in the face of this. does it mean its not protect -- vaccines arent protecting us at all against this variant? help us with that. >> no, it doesnt mean that. remember, vaccines are most powerful because they prevent moderate and severe disease. whats severe disease? hospitalization and even death. so if you have an 80% efficacy...

Over the _ weaker than it once was. however over the last week we see hospitalisation start to rise, up by 15%~ _ hospitalisation start to rise, up by 15%. thankfully, the number of deaths — 15%. thankfully, the number of deaths has not risen and remains very low — deaths has not risen and remains very low. sadly, before the vaccine we saw _ very low. sadly, before the vaccine we saw a _ very low. sadly, before the vaccine we saw a rise in hospitalisations inevitably— we saw a rise in hosp...

Number of deaths. thats why we are doing it. at the end of that period, byjuly the 19th, we do think that we will have built up a very considerable wall of immunity around the whole of the population. at that stage, on the basis of the evidence that i can see now, i am confident that i can see now, i am confident that we will be able to go forward with the full step four, the full opening. of course, that doesnt exclude the possibility, im afraid, and weve got to be honest, the possibility that ...

United states might easily look very different. again, theres nothing that can be done thats going to create confidence around that issue, and that not only limits the effectiveness and alignment of the g7 but also gives the chinese the second most powerful country in the world, but far more consolidated, far more, dare i say politically stable today. it gives them a lot more running room that none of them want to see. >> thats very telling, the one thing i noticed over the past, during the trum...

Billions of dollars in financing at the g7. its late, its not as much as we should be doing but its by far the biggest leadership we have seen since the pandemic has started. china is the second biggest issue out there. theres discussion about china. with russia, theyre not bringing it up. i get the fact that an actual face-to-face with biden and putin is a place he will personally be tested, thats why hes not doing a joint by joint press conference, the media may make a big deal about it. its p...
