Protests. 3 years since the blockade of qatar by its neighbors we look at how the dispute continues online. All creatures great and small we look at the role biodiversity plays on our planet and the unprecedented threat its now facing. Im going to get your skill with the sports including. And so on and i will do better and i will be part of the solution and if our star quarterback drew brees say shes another apology after being criticized by fellow athletes for his comments on u. S. Race protests. Some breaking news out of libya where its Deputy Defense minister says Government Troops have taken control of top thats the last stronghold a wall of. In western libya about 65 kilometers from the capital tripoli on friday the un recognized government announced it had regained full control of tripoli heartens forces still hold a large swathes of territory in the east and the south of the country. Sami harmonies the editor in chief of the online Magazine International interest is joining us now from london sami good to have you with us as always discover send indication why tell who not particularly is so important to have those offensive on no tripoli had 2 key strongholds it which was launched from 2 key strongholds the 1st was that what the base that was taken not too long ago and the 2nd was that. After the fall of a lot the half those forces knew that they could not hold on to. Tripoli offensive so they began to withdraw some of the troops and dont want to know the news from total one of comes after the g. N. A. T. Went to moscow and after the meeting between and again and said i was the president of the g n a where its believed that turkey and russia are now negotiating a framework of cooperation so i dont know today its unclear whether it fell because of the military attack by the g. N. A. T. Forces or whether this is part of a negotiated exchange between the russians and between the turks with regards to libya but in terms of its significance it means the end complete end of half that as tripoli offensive and the military solution that has to offer it to those powers that wanted a military solution is no longer on the table and were back to the status quo as it was before the beginning of the tripoli offensive east and west this summer you say that this is significant in terms of the balance of power by to have to are still control significant parts of libya itself so what happens next are we likely to see some sort of resurgence from hotels forces. I think it its important not to get carried away with i dont know theres a lot of people very happy with the end of have those military solution and anybody who wants to negotiate a political solution should celebrate the fact that half that is triply offensive has failed however as you said its important to put it into context this is the end of half that is bid to completely win in the civil war this is what were seeing today is a return to the status quo the stalemate that we saw for many years between east and between west and this prospect of an military campaign eastwards is very unlikely and the reason i say this is that the biggest dynamic is not necessarily in the military terms the biggest dynamic is the change in power brokers its no longer you its not only European Countries its not only u. A. E. Your egypt all these countries its now russia on the eastern side and turkey on the west and say almost a repeat of syria in the sense that these are the countries that are going to be pushing the parties to decide what the future of libya should look like and thats why were hearing talks of partition talks of autonomous regions talks of a status quo whereby west will be turkey influence g. N. A. T. And east will be took influenced russia so in other words what were seeing today is not to completely alter alternating of the dynamics of the war were seeing a return to the status quo that was in 2001000 before the start of the tripoli offensive and the road ahead to find some sort of solution to the war is still very long and if anything even more complicated now because of the of the ferocity of the International Struggle a resurgent u. S. A very angry france a confused germany and italy that is scrambling russia which is asserting itself turkey which is now the dominant power in other words it looks far more complicated and far more complex than it looked through 2 or 3 years ago lets talk about the potential political solution what role if any kind Khalifa Haftar hope to have in that political solution. Its interesting that the d. N. A. Or members of the d. N. A. Have actually called for the m. P. s and tobruk to come and join them in other ways this idea of trying to merge the 2 institutions what is also interesting is that supporters of the g. N. A. T. And supporters of the government have absolutely lambasted the suggestion with many supporters of jenny saying that too but it should be held to account for the crimes that it has done and it is these attitudes that are very worrying the attitude that isnt doesnt hasnt change from 2011 where we saw revenge attacks reprisals we saw punishment this idea of compensation that 80 made to them polarize Libyan Society and created an environment for 25. 00 to thrive it appears that many genie supporters have not learned the lessons from 2011 if we want to political solution the g. N. A. T. Now has a golden opportunity to present a unified front this idea of a unified libya but it needs to have the magnetic miti in order to set aside those grievances and it looks like the g. N. A. T. Will not be able to do that and this is why a political solution will look more distant we have to remember that a political solution cannot come about until the narrative on libya changes until it becomes one in which all the libyans have grievances all the libyan suffered all the libyans suffered under 2011 and it needs a leadership that recognizes that not a leadership that believes in its right to rule and not the leadership that believes that it has the right to take revenge on other sections of the libyan population the g. N. A. T. Has a golden opportunity to bring about some unified stance to invite the people of the book but i fear that the genie has not learned the lessons of 2011 and whereas it now has an opportunity to reach out to the east to reach out to the libyan people it seems that g. N. A. T. Understandably so very caught up in their own grievances very caught up in this in this midst of this victory that theyve secured on the military type that they are about to lose a golden opportunity to help facilitate a complete altering of the socio political dynamics that none of the International Powers could ever hope to bring good to get your thoughts on this as always sammy hyundai we appreciate it thanks very much indeed. Of course were going to keep bringing you the latest on this story were also going to be speaking to our correspondent on the wall head live from tucker and i later in the program ok lets go to the u. S. 10 nights of nationwide protests have given way to a somber Memorial Service for george floyd as life was celebrated in minneapolis by civil rights leaders and family members while thousands of others across the u. S. Paused to remember him his last words i cant breathe ive now become a rallying cry against Police Brutality and systemic racism john hendren reports from minneapolis the Minneapolis Police chief took a knee as the hearse bearing george floyd passed a barrel of respect for the man whose death at the hands of his officers launched a national movement. Inside a minneapolis Memorial Service george floyd was remembered as a family man a gentle giant who would doored his 6 year old daughter giana now fatherless its crazy. All these people came to see my brother and thats amazing to me that he touched so many people hawt. He was also remembered as the spark that set off often fiery protests in more than a dozen cities across the u. S. A movement the reverend al sharpton urged mourners throughout the country to continue its time for us to stand out in charges made and say good job and meet. This crowd of hundreds of people didnt come with invitations they came to pay their respects to george for it and theres such a demand to do so that there will be multiple Memorial Services one in his state of birth North Carolina on saturday another in his former hometown of houston on monday and then a funeral on tuesday. As the memorial took place a key demand of the floyd family was fulfilled 3 of the Police Officers who detained floyd in his final moments faced hearings for new charges of aiding and abetting 2nd degree murder the 4th officer derek children who knelt on floyds neck saw the charges against him elevated from 3rd degree murder to 2nd degree a charge that suggests the killing of floyd was intentional but for those mourning the 46 year old man the charges mark just the beginning. Of this going on. With the floyd needs to live soon as floyd family prepares to take him from his adopted home city for the last time the demonstrations that began when he uttered his final words i cant breathe continue john hendren aljazeera minneapolis. Well tensions have eased in many cities across the United States one time instructions have continued theyve been largely peaceful and some nighttime curfews have been lifted brunells reports. Large peaceful protests like this one at the Martin Luther king memorial in washington continued around the u. S.

Rallies marches sit in and other forms of protest filled the streets in new york city in Houston Texas philadelphia and Pittsburgh Pennsylvania and Charleston South Carolina among many other cities. There has been more fallout from the heavily criticized order for police to violently clear the streets outside the white house before President Donald Trump performed a staged photo of 2 republican senators broke ranks with following a scathing rebuke from former Trump Defense secretary james mattis who blasted trump for deliberately seeking to divide the country and undermining the constitution by threatening to deploy the military to crush protests general badasses letter was a stunning and powerful general mattis is a man of extraordinary sacrifice hes an American Patriot general john allen the former commander of u. S. And nato forces in afghanistan also harshly criticized trump stunt saying it quote may well signaled the beginning of the end of the american experiment unquote House Speaker nancy pelosi sent trump a letter demanding to know what federal Law Enforcement agencies are confronting protesters personnel from agencies that never deal with protests have been thrown into the mix in washington raising an outcry in congress i think we know that many of the unmarked security.

More than half a 1000000 people have fled violence in democratic republic of congo in just 9 months thats according to new numbers from the United Nations more than 1300 civilians are being killed there and almost the same amount of time attacks by armed groups and retaliate every operations from the military of marjah the countrys keep the region the u. N. Says some of the incidents could amount to crimes against humanity. But about ahead on the news hour including iran releases an American Navy veteran days after i know rainy and scientist is freed by the United States and disney world becomes the happiest place on earth for basketball fans as the n. B. A. Announces we start whats coming up with joe the sport. 23 years since an air land and sea blockade was imposed on qatar by egypt bahrain and its neighbors the United Arab Emirates and saudi arabia but despite recent efforts to deescalate tension theres no end in sight to the worst political crisis the gulf region has seen reports. May the 28th 2017 donald trump arrives this sunday rabia his 1st trip abroad as u. S. President trumps aim was to have wealthy gulf nations join the u. S. Bid to defeat i still to help and the war in syria and contain what the u. S. Described as irans growing influence but that was a short lived hope 4 days later the website of qatars news agency was hacked and fabricated statements posted tributed to the emir of qatar critical of u. S. Policies in the region the Washington Post subsequently cited u. S. Intelligence officials saying the u. A. E. Orchestrated the hacking that was just the beginning on june the 5th saudi arabia the u. A. E. Bahrain and egypt severed diplomatic ties with qatar and it posed a land sea and blockade which continues until now. The qatari government strongly denies allegations of supporting extremism qatar also condemned a list of demands from the quartet as a breach of sovereignty the 13 demands included big relations with iran closing a Turkish Military base and shutting down the Aljazeera Media Network there is no appetite at the moment in the International Community to to get involved in the gulf crisis the covert 19 condemning it has really consumed pretty much any policymaking capacity in western capitals and other International Capitals everybodys looking at dealing with that pandemic any insecurities across the middle east and the gulf crisis just one of many crisis in the middle east have been put on the back burner this is the man widely seen by qatar as the architect of the blockade mohammed the crown prince of all the b. And effectively the ruler of the United Arab Emirates benz date and saudi arabias crown Prince Mohammed bin said man both strongly oppose calls for democratic reforms that have gained momentum in the region since the arab spring uprisings 9 years ago this is the law and were going to do that to small to live on the challenges are huge were talking just not about the. Challenges then but i guess that we are talking about. Well. You know you can are mix. And that mix social environment and all of these as well as of course the hard security all of these only. Reason works together as well you know. Qatar has ruled out withdrawing from the g. C. C. And says it welcomes talks with its rivals but only when the blockade is lifted. According to the wall street journal trump has recently called on sandy arabia and the u. A. E. To and their ban on Qatari Airlines using their space but this was turned by the saudis and emirate is who believe the wrist riches are their only leverage to extract concessions from qatar the role kate has left lasting wounds for qatar raise they hope their gulf liable as well manned the diplomatic rest one day but the sandy lead quartet remain divided over a wide range of issues that reconciliation may take a long time how about aljazeera doha well as you heard there one of the incidents that led up to the blockade was the hacking of qatars news agency 3 years on this Information Networks are still active spreading rumors that tend to jump from twitter to newspapers printed and located in countries most are aimed at discrediting qatars ruling royal family in the past few months for example carter has denied unconfirmed reports it was planning to leave the Gulf Cooperation Council before that there were rumors of a coup attempt all based on a fake video in april saudi owned a lot of bia sky news arabia and b. B. C. Arabic all reported that a qatari dissident had been killed in a door her prison all have since deleted their reports the qatari government told the a. F. P. News agency that the 1st this Information Campaign back in 2017 was unprecedented but that people no longer take them seriously now lets talk to aljazeera senior political analyst Marwan Bashar here in doha as always good to have you on the program lets talk about the descent from ation campaign 1st of all what do we read in read into the fact that this campaign seems to have intensified over the last few months. Well look theyre lost but theyre continuing to gamble. On many factors some progress some make sure none 5 think that as a pretext to bring along the not that states and others in order to isolate the besieged in order to bring it down to its knees that did not work so theyre continuing its clear from the last 3 years that the plan has not worked at that scale but its very hard you know with 4 strong these 3 of them strong countries and able to. Constrain humiliates we can and defeat a much smaller country proper once they are continue with the same disintegrates and hoping for that but that unfortunately for them its not working out how much of this is about the original issues that instigated the blockade in the 1st place and how much of it is now essentially about trying to get out of this situation and save face for everybody. But this is a very important question and its very important because now we have to hit sites. So what do we actually know about what happened why it happened and why does it continue to happen what we know for a fact is that the 4 block creating countries presented 13 conditions. On. The 3rd of them is my favorite as you know rob which is to close out just 0 and the 13th the amount is that cut that would be under supervision or not monthly or quarterly supervision so that for the next years and years and years the market because that it would basically at the airport who. Nonstop. Now these technical dishes are walking about roads or intention eggs and now we can talk about 3 years basically watered down there are certain conditions that could read. Genesis one. They wanted. When that did not work out they accepted the nomination a couple why not because of chris and got more of a reason to reasons its because they wanted to score 2 and get those fortune or god or number of years could be voting with their dollars and the one paid basically to rob. Or which fortune was excessive for the reason why would they want to do that especially that i feel like so is the anything in the United Arab Emirates of which countries are ready well they wanted to do what you will their regional courts they had the regional project after they have a spring which is to make sure that it never ever happens again come to watching the way along with. Recission and and toward and then to be able to redesign the middle east to fit their own objectives to kill the idea of the arab spring they need to continue to qatar the way and then you think its fortune in order to fuel any regional project themselves that it is and thats a very important for in line with israel none of the. Objectives where that was not occupied was not dominated its fortunes its own and i dont see it could take years to boil against authoritarianism and really good to get your thoughts on this is always a moment thank you very much indeed for joining us. Irans foreign minister is expecting further prisoner exchanges with the United States and the u. S. Secretary of state said he wont rest until every american wrongfully detained in iran is freed a u. S. Navy veteran has flown home after almost 2 Years Imprisonment an iranian scientist acquitted of stealing u. S. Trade secrets returned to attack iran on wednesday victoria getting reports. A free man Michael White arrived in 08 on his way home to the United States the u. S. Navy veteran had been held by iran for almost 2 years i would do want to extend my personal thanks to the president for his efforts both diplomatically and otherwise in making America Great again and for whats going to happen here in the future white was released as part of the deal that saw Washington Free american iranian scientists sirus askari hes now back in tehran irans foreign minister tweeted that another iranian american baiji to harry had to say being released from u. S. Custody to go shooting with the iranians is never a linear process theres a lot of stops and starts we have to be very patient this is a regime that has been taking americans hostage for 41 years and our diplomacy has been successful and were going to keep working at it its the 2nd prisoner swap dail in 6 months in december iran released the u. S. The chinese american student held for 3 years on widely disputed espionage charges in exchange for the release of a detained iranian scientist President Trump spoke to white once hed landed in switzerland and tweeted his thanks to iran saying it was proof a deal was possible with 10 friends trump pulled out of the Irans Nuclear cooled and imposed crippling economic sanctions he says he wants to negotiate a new deal tensions hit crisis point in january when a u. S. As strike killed a rainy and general kassam son the money Near Baghdad International Airport the prisoner swap is a rare example of cooperation between tehran and washington but deep divisions remain victoria gates and aljazeera. So there is a professor of Political Science at the university of tehran hes joining us now via skype we appreciate you giving us your time when all is innocent thank you very much do you think that these prisoner swaps give an indication that there is room for why you are negotiation between the u. S. And iran secondly. It proves that you spied. From iran because of the pressure of the. Iranian modernist willing who may promise that. Magic and in order to there are some up pressure but you must remember that you must bear in mind that whatever. Whatever negotiation which is going on the be or otherwise there are between there are not an option. Must be scree because more than one year is Iranian Elite is. Being. A medic and. Joy ready if they call or. Eat their meat that they have seen the. Negotiate in. America ringback. We just heard a moment ago that irans foreign minister says hes expecting photo of the prisoner exchanges but it is true to say that if a country is holding foreigners prisoner then it does give them some sort of leverage over the countries from which those people come is it really realistic to assume that were going to see a pattern of prisoner exchanges between the 2 countries. Yes it is that a possibility but you must bear in mind that although the Iranian Office is when they have when they have. Sent to they have always maintained that they are they are a spy or they have been involved in them in espionage is wrong wrong wrong i know that but the point is that no. On no. Asian or no try. There has been proved that they are actually that they have been involved in a spying i know the point that they must bear in mind that the hard liners. Are actually becoming much stronger i thought that the political position. Is said to them on soko save on the parliamentary election they rule that they are on the on match that. Hold the indications on to the fact that next hair lection the phone line there is no the point is that when our grinded out in charge you can use that and that any media that you make then they are not lying roll on me or if told me that i need them with topics on that like a hard liner sort of very popular and we are appreciate your time and aljazeera thank you very much.

It has produced flooding which is good for the children to play in but its in india and once again i think thats over in our story at this time the in the middle east is the heat and yes then today received 48 to fiftys. Luckily its very low relative humidity otherwise it would be unbearable brooke thanks very much indeed still ahead on aljazeera coronavirus lockdowns are causing a spike in cyber crime.

That the last stronghold for all of 24 in western libya on thursday the u. N. Recognize government announced that it had regained full control of the capital tripoli. Memorial services have been held in the United States for george floyd 10 days of black lives matter protests halted as tributes were paid including in minneapolis where he died in Police Custody 4 policemen have been sacked and charged in connection with his murder. By u. S. Navy veterans flown home after almost 2 Years Imprisonment in iran Michael Whites release followed the return of iranian scientists it was a study who was acquitted of stealing u. S. Trade secrets. And the u. K. Braggs it is back on the agenda and things are not going well a week of talks between british and european officials has ended in deadlock and recriminations on both sides with time running out the u. K. Insists it will still finally say goodbye with without a trade deal by the end of the year live in dorchester in the south west of england lawrence it sounds very much that now that the covert situation has changed in the u. K. Its back to business for the government and nothing seems to be going right. No no and as you said the just concluded a full week of talks and they got up so you know where from the sound of it Michel Barnier who is the that european the ghost editor to give a press conference and often our cells see what his moods like but the repeated complaint from the europeans has been that the british say they want a deal but then keep setting impossible terms and so they can get anywhere remember june was supposed to be the final deadline for a framework for a deal which would allow the u. K. To leave at the end of the year with some sort of date and so time is now vanishingly short and of course youve now got the pandemic to deal with at the same time and as its turned out with a no deal brecks it looking increasingly likely you find supporters of that no deal brics it saying increasingly well look if we can deal with a pandemic then brics its nothing for a 2nd almost trying to make a virtue out of it and its here on the feels of england really that all humans is being played out. Its once pick itself and they have to get a move on because this company produces a 1000000 bags of salad leaves a week for years workers from poland have harvested it but just as this season began old yes space closed and they couldnt come faced with a crisis on its hands the farm did something it has never done before british people to do it i was pretty determined i was going to lose the crop say yeah it was if it was on the cards yeah theres no dire if you dont get the team in and you dont have the stuff the machinery that we harvest with operate this team then is made up almost entirely of british workers like james hes a Fitness Instructor but with gyms closed and a wife and baby at home he needed the cash yeah i mean were outdoors all day long so were probably in the best environment not in h. S. Well because hes you know so confined spaces with the a. P. And all the rest of it so i. Think for myself very lucky to be out here and of of good job. Was the idea of a british land takes to world war 2 and that patriotic spirit underpins this current t. V. Ads as well its part of a campaign called pick for britain and they even recruited royalty for it now i do no doubt that the work will be on glamorous and at times challenging but it is of the utmost importance at the height of this Global Pandemic you will be making a vital contribution to the National Effort so british workers are helping feed the nation in the middle of the pandemic supporters of rex it will say if we can do this we can do anything disruptions of Food Supplies has always been one of the strongest arguments against a no deal brecht state and yet since the pandemic came here has been panic buying queues for hours to get things with supermarkets and yet the Food Supply Chain has remained remarkably resilient quite by accident it seems a pandemic might have given the british. Governments an argument as to why a no deal breck saves money not be said about off the rolls. But if these people go back to their old jobs next year then who does the job then the u. K. Wants are strict numbers of seasonal fruit or vegetable think is to just 10000 when in reality the country needs 7 times that many the estimate is be more than 70 thousands maybe over the whole season over the country so you know we just need to make sure that the arrangements are there so that if we do need people to come in they can. Withstanding there are very many people on both sides of the English Channel who say it would be the heights of madness for the u. K. To push ahead with bricks its a hole in the middle of the Biggest Health care crisis for 100 years the collision of bricks in the virus promises to make the british governments position even more controversial so the talks have gone into a deadlock what happens next. Well frankly it isnt clear partly because the pandemic has sucked all the air out of everything and so its hard on the news to to be honest with you in this country which is extraordinary given his prominence last year in that sense supporters of no deal are getting a bit of a free pass at the moment but it is very concerning apart from putting food on the table the other thing thats absolute chaos of the moment is manufacturing and there is not a week goes by without a very big Company Rolls royce of the size announcing thousands of redundancies in april the u. K. Manufactured a grand total of 197. 00 cars so you know the pandemic has absolutely decimates its. The whole Manufacturing Sector and then this week nissan which employs thousands of people in the north of england came out and said if theres a note they will have to shut down in the u. K. As well and so you get the collision of these 2 things and it is really scary but as i said to full there is not very much time left now at all to salvage any sort of trade deal with the european union. Giving us that update from the south west of england thanks lawrence well an influential medical journal has retracted an article which says an anti millennia drug increased the risk of death for covert 1000 patients 3 of the 4 authors raise doubts over data provided by a health care farm which was used in this study published in the lancet the research prompted the World Health Organization to suspend testing of hydroxycut according the controversial drug has been touted by u. S. President donald trump as possible treatment for corona virus. Brazil has overtaken italy to record the 3rd highest number of covert 900 deaths in the world after it reported a record daily death toll for the 4th day in a little more than 1400 deaths were confirmed on thursday pushing the total above 34000. 00 brazil is latin americas worst affected country president s job also narrow has been widely criticized for dismissing the risk of the virus saying on tuesday that death was put everyones destiny argentina has extended its lockdown until the end of the month as it struggles to control the spread of covert 19 it includes restrictions on movement and businesses in the capital want to say it is but measures will be relaxed in other parts of the country argentina reported its highest daily number of new infections and weapons states the total is now past 20000 that have been more than 600 deaths. Coronavirus Restrictions Mean people are living more of their lives online whether banking or shopping or using Government Services and scammers are ready to explode that in turkey the Police Cyber Crime unit there has seen a massive increase in the number of phishing sites and of course the other reports from istanbul we can look down this travel bans closing businesses and staying home these measures to contain the koran a virus across turkey have led to an increase in attempts by cyber criminals to exploit people as many sort to make payments online the government says phishing size imitating government institutions corporations or banks have tripled in 2 months. Film director morata clicked on the what appeared to be a sponsored advertisement for his bank on instagram that promised a 5 for your credit card for your refund. If. I thought i was using my banks app i even received a Security Code im kind of an obsessive person so i called the bank to check whether my application was on track to my surprise it was all fake the bank said i got swindled they froze my accounts canceled my cards but 1600. 00 were already gone to launch Legal Proceedings against such operations and Turkey Police need the approval of a judge but courts have been closed since late march and will not reopen before mid june and thats believed to have encouraged the fishing criminals. During the coverage crisis phishing sites have been exploiting the need for government and schemes set up to support the Stay Home Campaign so theyre imitating the most trusted platform the state after which people used to apply for state aid but the real app never asks you for your payment details. Is some the police say they dealt with 30000 cyber crime cases in 2090 but in the 1st 5 months this year the number reached 20000 the internet makes it easy for phishing criminals to operate from servers or wrote. Cyber police say says more people use it homers than just the crimes are rising they say they are doing their best to catch phishing swindlers but the most the fact of the fence is a security conscious and using 68 percent of people in turkey spend an average of nearly 3 hours a day on social media and a while other forms of crime have fallen by a quarter during the penned that make its helping cyber crimes escalate because so little aljazeera assemble. Well since countries impose lock down measures street crime has declined but in other areas criminal activity has increased the u. N. Says cyber crime is on the rise and its reported a 600 percent rise in malicious emails when march in europe poland interpol seized 34000. 00 counterfeit surgical masks theres also been an increase in violence against women the u. N. Registered a 60 percent rise in calls reporting Domestic Abuse and asian people are being blamed by some for the spread of covert 19 u. K. Police say attacks against the community have increased threefold but david wohl is the chair in criminology at the university of leeds school of law in the u. K. And hes joining us now thanks very much for the indeed for being on the program how significant is the fact that the criminals seem to be able to react so quickly to a situation like covert 19. 2nd question i i think this is this is not this is not actually new. The criminals have been very adaptive to. Prominent news items for quite a number of years now but the code 19 years has drawn everything together in quite a sort of condensed fashion and people bring concerns a much broader range of people are very concerned about this but we saw spikes for instance in tsunami in 2004 we saw spikes Michael Jacksons death Patrick Swayze through cancer so these things happen all the time but weve not seen such a volume of change since cope with we had a couple of examples in cinemas report just theyre related particularly to the banking but how are criminals using covert 19 and the concerns around that to scam people at home well basically the 1st the 1st group. First approach is to send out arms which are based on the call with 900 virus the and theyre just designed to get you to respond to give your personal information or open malicious attachment or links to websites that may.
