What is the most glaring or salient way in which the transatlantic relationship is likely to change with the incoming biden administration. Well biden also people have picked for his cabinet and his kind of close coworkers are very committed to transit lantus as spies having that said we have to keep in mind that it was president obama who came out with this doctrine leading from behind and this is something President Biden will continue to do he will ask your own people ask. Germany to pay their fair share in the Defense Community to pay more money for their own military equipment so its gonna be a tricky part for President Biden because for sure he doesnt want to send back troops overseas and hurt military families that wouldnt be good policies either so its going to be tricky but i think it is fair to say that hes very committed to stable and consistent transatlantic relationships. Washington bureau chief in his poll reporting to us there from the u. S. Capital thank you and as bangladesh has started moving when john refugees to a camp on a recently formed island that critics say is vulnerable to cycling and dangerous flooding almost a 1000000 live in crowded camps on the mainland the United Nations says no refugees should be moved there against their will many of pin their hopes on what bangladesh has promised is a better situation. Refugees every journey is a step into the unknown these are all hinge or have been on the move for use seeking safety since fleeing myanmar now they are being shipped to another uncertain situation. And i heard of that. That we are not citizens of any country and so we are moving to wherever there are more facilities for us than we have had. We were not happy at the camps we heard from seniors as well as the television that we will get more from the facilities. Of. The island of passion charge is to be their new home by camp built by the Bangladeshi Navy to house 100000 people. The silt island formed just 20 years ago critics say the low lying land mass is prone to flooding and dangerous cyclists some families say their relatives are being moved there against their will.

On the island flood defenses have been built to keep back the threat from rising seas but so far no independent inspectors have been allowed to visit the facilities the United NationsRefugee Agency is demanding urgent access to see if the island is safe for habitation.

The senegalese port city of number 4. This is one of the main points of departure for migrant boat bound for the Canary Islands. These 2 brothers tried it they barely survived as the bow caught fire they say they were lucky of more than 200 on board only about 50 are still a life back of the world in 85 i wasnt that strong yet when a petrol tank exploded in the us and i left my bags and jumped into the sea. Some people who didnt know how to swim grabbed on to me we swam and all around us people were drowning it was all filthy if we carried on swimming like that we go decides its not your time you survive. Despite this gruesome story many here say they also consider the journey across the sea most live a fishing here but they say fish stocks have to windell. They blame asian trawlers and the allocation of fishing licenses to european vessels plus the coronavirus pandemic has made life harder and strengthen the urge to leave in search of opportunities while feel whenever they need a good idea and that it is a high if we go fishing and when we come back what we earn barely covers what we have to spend theres nothing for us here and thats why we prefer to leave it all behind and its the only way to help our parents and our families with that in league a good example is a new idea but its only one when the huddle. Khalifas mother paid a smuggler the equivalent of 600. 00 euros to arrange his crossing. A fortune for the family gone to waste as the vessel ran out of fuel and food and never made it to europe and all too common experience many migrants fall victim to the greed. Traffic is the senegalese government initially slow to respond now says it is putting measures in place to stop the trend to be usual to keep for sure that their regimes have been on the ground for 10 days here in our in sound we or in the south trying to work out how many have left how many have survived and how many are preparing to go see the state is also putting measures in place to dissuade young people from leaving most importantly stopping the traffickers because lets face it they are criminals and we need to treat them as such but it could be an equally critical to. The government also says it plans to boost its will cation of retraining programs to help the senegalese youth build a life in their home country but despite the high risk of death many still cling to the ideal that a Brighter Future lies across the water. With several vaccines against covert 19 poised to get approval countries the world over are preparing to roll out what will rank among historys largest vaccine campaigns now i. B. M. And the u. S. Government a warning that on line attacks on the infrastructure behind Vaccine Distribution are increasing the intentions of the cyber criminals is still a mystery but Online Security experts warn they are trying to gain access to the cooling technology and distribution chain used to ship back scenes and that could cause problems as governments prepared to ship vaccines world wide joining me now is the g. O. P. Reporter erin tilton who has been following this story erin what exactly are the hackers up to here well according to i. B. M. And the department of Homeland Security theyre sending out phishing emails which are targeting the companies that are directly involved the production of cooling technology that will be critically important to actually distribute these vaccines that were talking about you have to remember they need to be cooled up between minus 20 and minus 7 degrees so keeping them cold is incredibly important now we dont know exactly why the hackers are attempting to gain access to these companies or i. T. Infrastructure there are 2 main theories either one that theyre attempting to disrupt the distribution of a future vaccine or what seems more likely that their time attempting to prepare a ransomware style attack and thats an attack where basically these hackers Block Companies access to their own computers and demand large sums of money to give them that access again and we dont know exactly why theyre doing this but could have a major repercussions for it and it comes distributing vaccines in the coming months the next most glaring question is who could be behind these attacks well as i said theyre using a phishing email and thats basically a fake email that goes out to these companies c. E. O. s and supposedly its coming from a Chinese Company looking to buy some of their technology now thats a pretty good indication that we shouldnt be looking at china because its. Not really that probable that the Chinese Government would allow their own hackers to use basically fly their fly when theyre preparing one of these attacks thats why many people are actually looking at countries like russia and north korea specifically if this is iran somewhere style attack you know that would basically indicate it could be coming from north korea because there have been several high profile similar Ransomware Attacks coming out of chung young in recent years actually one of them targeted german hospitals a couple years ago and actually did some extreme damage to the German Health care system so thats why a lot of people tend to be focusing more on russia north korea at the moment my understanding is this is not the 1st time that hackers are trying to gain information to Vaccine Information you know thats thats definitely true in the in previous months weve seen them targeting vaccine producers and you know its basically kind of a rogues gallery in most of the countries you assume are involved in Cyber Espionage i mean the you know there was an accusation that iran is attempting to you know have pfizer and Similar Companies china north korea russia eccentrics cetera but this is the 1st time weve really seen focus on the supply chain involved in Vaccine Distribution so its kind of taking on a new dynamic right now well as a vaccine race continues this is likely not a story thats going to go away anytime soon Aaron Chilton deja vu thank you so much thank you. Lets have a look now at some of the other developments in the coronavirus pandemic joe biden says hell ask americans to wear a mask for 100. 00 days once he becomes u. S. President the south korean capital seoul is imposing a 9 pm curfew on most establishment thats after the city reported nearly 300 new cases of the virus in one day and germany has reported more than 23000 new infections thats one of the largest daily increases in europe just after russia and italy Germanys Health minister is calling for tighter measures in areas with the highest spikes. As the Holiday Season approaches many countries are weighing how best to allow for festivities without spreading the coronavirus here in europe people are breaking with tradition as a change their plans to accommodate restrictions. Normally we travel to madrid on Christmas Eve and stay for a few days this year we have to celebrate at home but well have entertainment from our grandson where there are children there is christmas for him learning i know you dont really want them but wed like to organize a big party with our friends but i dont think thats possible so family thats all there is to it. That and that youre dickerson and usually we celebrate with many relatives from all over my big extended family this year it will be only our closest circle my daughters and my husband might even go here in this venue or city of the Christmas Lights that you see behind me stay off at the moment even at night the City Administration is the rage of big crowds that might come in to watch the general restrictions for christmas in spain im not clear yet but Everybody Knows this would be a very different Festive Season even in my own family which is partly german and partly spanish we dont know what to do yet and if we will be able to meet each other its. Not true if youre out of doors it would be nicer to go to the Christmas Market but i think these measures are sensible and more important now next year we can catch up on our traditions again so i have no problem with the 3 of us its difficult we usually celebrate with my husbands side and also my site together now we have to split everything up so that she her households come together already as a pharmacy employee i always have to be very cautious not to bring the virus home and so theres no choice but to split things up they say here. With my family weve all agreed to take coronavirus tests before we meet at home and if they all turn out negative we come together if. Not them now or in smaller groups. Kind of with a smirk and i want to hug my family. Here normally at this time of year the place behind me would look totally different that would be lots of Christmas Market stands and the smell of roasted elements everywhere to get you in the mood but what i personally miss the most this december is meeting friends in the evening and drinking mild wine together the only thing that cheers me up this year as mall trying to go serious and merry christmas. To coronaviruses also fronted a major rethink from Warner Brothers for 2021 shares and cinema operators have nosedived after those studios said it would simultaneously debut all of its films next year both in cinemas and on its new streaming service for now this policy applies only to the u. S. Market its a plot twist that many in the Film Industry say they didnt see coming. Times call for creative solutions. Warner brothers executives described their historic gamble. Revealing that they would be releasing their claim to 21. 00 blockbuster movies in theaters and online a similar. In a major shakeup for the entertainment industry. For the way it is the latest salvo in the streaming wars which pits warners video on demand service h. B. O. Mocks. Netflix. Plus. Film fans welcomed the news is a Great Company have always liked that. I think thats a great idea for their Profit Margins i guess so i dont have anything against it i think its good. To have said the strategy would be in place for just one year offering a glimmer of hope that lucrative Box Office Revenues will return and already hard hit companies plunged you know once it comes back i think people are going to be looking for that kind of a theater experience because quite frankly they already got enough of the home theater experience you know to. The Warner Brothers bit marks the beginning of a new chapter for hollywood the question is will it change habits forever. And for more on this unprecedented move im joined by scott. Culture correspondent scott its good to see you all the film buffs and big budget cinema fans out there help big a deal is there. Its huge i mean obviously anyone whos in the us and is a fan of fan of film probably think you know this is amazing to be able to pay 15. 00 a month and i can get i think if you clue do wonder woman the new wonder woman of 18 Warner Brothers films big films for not no no extra charge and thats a huge huge deal but if you look at the broader picture and look at cinema this is devastating for the cinemas were hoping were counting actually on on wonder woman in the United States suit which was supposed to come out of christmas as a way of maybe bouncing back recovering a bit of the losses that they made through this year for some months of being shot. This new model that Warner Brothers presenting basically undercuts their business entirely because you know why would people pay 15000. 00 to go to the movies if they can you know sit home on their couch and watch the exact same movie at the exact same time so its really interesting to see what impact this this has on the whole industry and whether or not this is a temporary measure as Warner Brothers is still saying its going to be that theyre just doing this for the krona time period or if this is a marks a sea change in in the in the whole industry and if this is the way will be released Going Forward but im just curious as i hear you talk you know for people like me who just want to watch stuff. Its just another platform to watch it isnt it good news for consumers theoretically yes sure it means you have better access and easier access but the whole movie industry is based on a sort of a certain economic model which is based on premium presentation instead of us where you have to pay a lot of money to get very exclusive high end content and then goes down through a series of other platforms where you pay less and less and less if you know from from pay t. V. All the way down and in d. V. D. Buying buying them on disks all the way down to free t. V. Where you get the the films for free and you have to watch commercials and all. Page of that those of that system the studios make money and all that money flows back into making films which means the films get bigger and bigger and more spectacular and so forth more more expensive if you start cutting away sections of particular that top premium section coming away the cinemas with this a lot of money in all the trickle down and you wont have the amount of money to make these these big films a lot of these films are looking at doing for example 200000000. 00 movie a wonder woman 1400000000. 00 movie its going to be very very difficult for warner to make that back just on its Online Platform so will will have to say. Thank you so much really appreciate it.
