Country has weaponized its Cyber Capabilities as maliciously and it responsibly as russia. The Us Justice Department charges 6 members of Russian Military intelligence over alleged white scale cyber times thousands in bangkok to fire a ban on protests for a 6 day forcing a change of tone from the Prime Minister. And more than 50 u. S. Lawmakers demand the release of political activists and journalists facing dangerous conditions in egypts prisons. So the number of people around the world who have contracted coronavirus is now exceeded 40000000 a quarter of those are still active cases iran has reported its highest ever daily death toll at least 337 people have died of covert 900. Past 24 hours and that brings the total number of fatalities up to more than 30000. 00 and more than 10000000. 00 cases have been reported across latin America Brazil argentina colombia theyre among the top 10 worst hit countries in the world and other nations across europe including poland and italy are imposing more restrictions to tackle the new wave of infections and wales is going into a nationwide lockdown for 2 weeks that starts on friday its one of the worst hit areas in the United Kingdom well lets hear from john hall now in london who says the world down did not come as a surprise. Whales of course already under restrictions much of the country and on friday to the rather unprecedented step of banning people from travelling to wales from high infection locations in england and scotland other parts of the United Kingdom of course and then mark directed earlier in the day today thats the 1st minister in the devolved ministration in wales announcing this 2 week lock down to begin on friday thats the beginning of the state schools hard to break itll last for 2 weeks it is pretty deep this locked down almost as much as the one the national locked down across the u. K. Earlier in the year thats the picture of wales of course wales is not the only place enduring these sorts of restrictions at the moment the north of england the midlands of england in particular having an uphill battle lots of cities up there University Cities have seen infection rates going up exponentially in recent weeks after the return of students to campuses in September Liverpool under tears 3 lock down restrictions us the highest here in england the mayors of other cities like manchester newcastle and so on resisting government efforts to put them into tears re saying of the science doesnt stack up and the money isnt there to compensate for the loss of jobs and the businesses that will go under as a result of a big battle underway with downing street its ended in deadlock in meetings today the minute the mayors saying they wont do it downing street responding saying look your infection rates are out of control your hospitals are going to be full by the middle of november if you dont text sept the money and the new deal that weve got on the table now will force you under these restrictions or well do it without the extra cash incentive. On a Global PublicHealth Expert and a senior fellow at University CollegeLondon School of pharmacy and she says theres hope that multiple vaccines could be ready by the 1st quarter of next year. We do have some 200 candidates currently 42 are human trials so the robot pipeline is robust which is great means we have different types of platforms being used as well its likely that it wont just be one vaccine but multiple that are going to be distributed all around the world and there is positive developments with after zeneca so we do hope that by the 1st quarter 2021 there should be ability to get those 1st doses out but still if we look at who thats going to go to it just simply wont be possible to do it all at once so it is going to have to be a staged approach in the dont we chose working with gavi and set b. And countries to help prioritize create a framework so the vulnerable and healthcare workers have access purse but it wont be readily available to people straight away which creates an opportunity for falsifying medical products to men entering the markets and thats one concern Going Forward weve already seen a shift of criminal activity to warrant st p. P. E. Fake tests and all these other complications are unintended consequence. Well theres news about an experimental vaccine in brazil so lets cross over to Rio De Janeiro where you know if you have his life for us and want to tell us about the news about that experimental vaccine and what the picture is across the country right now. Well this is just one of many vaccines that are being tested in brazil its produced with the Chinese Institute so nowak its called corona vaccine it was already administered 2 doses were already administered to 9000. 00 volunteers and there werent too many side effects but now the question is how effective will the vaccine be. I we just spoke recently to were a researcher who said that hopes are that they were it will be like 50 to 60 percent effective besides this this vaccine which is being tested in some bottle which is the richest state also by the end of the year they were hoping to have the russian vaccine into other brazilian states thats the sputnik 5 vaccine and finally theyre also testing here the astra zeneca vaccine with dogs for so theres at least there are many vaccines that are now being tested but the one thats ahead of all of them right now is the corona vaccine from china right and that you cant come soon enough to move in 10000000 cases being reported across lots of america and as you say the brazil argentina colombia among the top 10 worst hit countries in the world given the broader picture if you would across the tumor. Well yes brazil is like a still the 2nd largest world hotspot after the United States its reaching 154000 dead more than 3000200. 00 infections the president the 1st lady and one of the. Have been among the infected they were they they were cured but still. Argentina which had a much serious much more serious lockdown then brazil where the covert 19 and that macwas minimized in argentina no they took a very strong stance but still the infections are rising which is very worrying and then you also have of course peru and colombia which are among the largest the ones that are having more contamination now so its a pretty gruesome scenario. Going to be there for many thanks very much thats a picture from Rio De Janeiro you know. I was talking about United States where the number of you infections has reached the highest levels since july since late july in fact over 70000 cases reported just on friday thats the highest since the countrys peak this summer hospitalizations are increasing in more than 40 states the current surge is different from previous ones because its spread across several states many states at this point the ship returns used live for us in washington d. C. Deeply troubling these figures. Right especially since they seem to be occurring slightly before what was expected to be a surge in numbers as winter truly hits the United States d people going indoors and so on this is all happening slightly before the Winter Weather has really hit and thats why its particularly concerning when the winter was supposed to be the 2nd search but what are we saying now in that case as you said that that the 70000 cases reported in just one day on friday is particularly concerning i want to. Use you with with numbers but at least 17 states reported record covert code cases last week and there is that number that you just pointed to hospitalizations going up hospitalizations increasing in some 39 states 40 states perhaps at least reaching a weakling new peaks in 6 states thats particularly concerning because the mayor bit of sun so we get more numbers of testing improved but there was a hope that most people would be asymptomatic wouldnt be feeling feeling the effects of covert 170. 00 the death rates are far lower at their peak earlier in the year but if hospitalizations are going up about that that is very very about wiring as well. This goes without saying we have to mention how this all keys into the u. S. Election. Right but what a fascinating a fascinating dichotomy in that survey from Donald Trumps public pronouncements he seems to think that his approach to covert is no a winning one over the weekend he was very scathing about joe biden for quote listening to the scientists and closing down the economy joe biden responded in a tweet to a one word tweet today saying well yes. Trump it appears thinks that his argument that we dont want to lock down the United States is a winning one that that is a clear choice that he can win in fact just today he was railing against. The us is leading Infectious Disease specialists this is the quote from donald trump a Campaign Goal a few hours ago people are tired of curve it people are saying whatever just leave us alone and people are tired of hearing found tree and all these idiots hes been here for like 500 years hes like this wonderful sage telling us well if we listen to him wed have 700800 deaths and he also said you know every time he goes on television theres always a bomb but theres a bigger bomb if you fire him but trump seeming to suggest that theres a fear that there is this pandemic fatigue that he could actually key in to make a winning a winning argument a winning Closing Argument if you will this close to the election. Thanks a lot so she ever times there in washington d. C. Lets head over now to iran a dorsett you parys in tehran and she says that many iranians just cant afford to take restrictions that seriously. One of the main reasons and that is one of our also the cause of concern for Health Officials is that people are not taking these restrictions seriously in the capital despite the fact that many people are asked to stay home in the schools or close in your verses are all closed there is still a lot of people that are going about their daily routines the malls are open restaurants are still open and they are not hearing to the words of the Health Officials who are urging people to limit their movements in the city this is also one of the reasons that one of the main reasons for that is that many people dont have the luxury of staying home they have to earn a living there is no help Financial Aid from the government thats being offered at the moment so many people that weve spoken to say staying home for them is just not an option they have to make a living so the traffic that we see on a regular basis in the capital one of the busiest provinces in the country continues despite this outbreak even though people are the majority of people that we see across the city where masked there are still many people who go about their daily business and they try to earn a living in many of the taxi drivers that we spoke to say they just cant afford to stay home they have to earn their days wage because there is absolutely no help Financial Aid from the government during this pandemic.

And in sport the Los Angeles Dodgers are on their way to the world series people have. Now the u. S. Justice Department Says they have challenged 6 russian Intelligence Officers for the lead roles in multiple Cyber Attacks that spanned over 4 years washington says the individual known some of the worlds most destructive malware the group is. Accused of attacking ukraines prime a grid in 2015 and disrupting the 2100 Winter Olympics and. Time no country has weaponized its Cyber Capabilities as maliciously and it responsibly as russia wantonly causing unprecedented Collateral Damage to pursue small tactical advantages and fits of spite the defendants in this case were all members of the military unit 74455 of the russian Main Intelligence Directorate known as the g. R. U. The department previously charged members of the same unit also known to Cyber Security researchers as the sand worm team for their role in russias efforts to interfere with the 2016 u. S. Elections. When it can be how could joins us from washington d. C. And can you tell us more about what is alleged to be this litany of malicious cyber times. Yeah well in terms of the charges that these alleged hackers face that includes Computer Fraud conspiracy and this group known as sound were also is known in the intelligence and security circles by a few other names including tele bots voodoo bear and even hades now apparently these 6 individuals in their twentys and thirtys have a very long rap sheet if you will in allegations of a ledge tax that they have participated and you mentioned a few of the big ones but according to the u. S. Justice department really theyve had a number of Major Political as well as financial and even athletic targets some of them not getting as much press as the ukrainian power grid or the interference in the Winter Olympics that took place back in 2018 now in terms of the current election 2020 u. S. Election the set to take place in just a day more than 2 weeks from now no mention about any potential interference in that and you also heard the justice official talking about separate charges that were laid against 12 individuals for interference in the 2016 u. S. Election this really tends to be more to do with some of the infrastructure as well as again political and financial targets still the concern about this group is the kind of the damage that has been done in the billions of 1. 01 justice official saying that this is one of the most dangerous and aggressive groups out there and while there have been in the past some sanctions u. S. Sanctions as well as the e. U. Sanctions against russia for some of the routes of where they are responsible for allegedly this is the 1st time that weve seen individuals being charged right in the lympics the Paralympic Games are prone to the tokyo 2020 limits which would cause a split and rules are targeted you wonder what was russia who can to achieve by talking to the school to put slogans. Well what the u. S. Justice Department Says is that there is a reason that there is such a broad range of targets is that essentially given the fact that this group works for the g. R. U. Or the military intelligence in russia that this was any group or person or individual that may have in some way slighted russia so in other words if there was sort of a militia tweet or a perceived malicious tweet or even something much larger in scale those individuals or groups potentially would become targets or it can be thanks to that can be how can reporting from washington d.
