The freeman foundation. By kudy and peter bller foundation; pursuing solutions for americas neglected and by contributions to this pbs station fr viewers like you. Thank you. Welcome to outside source. Britain, the u. S. , and canada say hackers working for the russia state are trying toave Global Research for the virus. We are all trying to find a vaccineo people around the world can benefit from it. The russian government engaged in that endeavor needs calling out. Yay celebrations in the u. K. As some is some of restrictions remain on social gatherings. A special report on a controversial blue nile. It starts to fill the reservoir. E closest ever picture of the sun. And a warm welcome. Thank you for joining us. S,hack almost certainly working for the russia state come are trying to steal n research vaccine for the coronavirus. They did not specify which orednizations have been targ or whether any information had been sthlen. They saiVaccine Research had not been hindered by the hackers. Correspondent h been speaking to the head of the National Cybersecurity center whabou they found. We are working flat id to protect what is so iortant to the nation right now. We have seenussian spies with names like cozy bear, trying to hack into the Vaccine Research. What were doing today i calling it out and publishing Technical Details so that as well as the organizations already working with, anyone in the world can see what this looks like and protect themselves from it. What are they after . I think any country now, if they can getold of Vaccine Research, with less sophisticated scientic base, they would like to require the same sort of research that as in the u. K. We have to be on high ert. That is why we we detected this when we worked really closely with institutions doing this research and we are on high alert during these attacks. The director has more on the group behind the alleged Vaccine Research attac this group involved, they to target over the last few years government organizations. So it fits their modus operandi and it is not surprising. We have been in the Security Community for ths last few mobout the real real risk and desire they have to compromise Vaccine Development centers. It is a great way to destabilize the countryscresponse to the is and these environments that of production, they are on mys these days. There are two goals. One is to steal intellectualak property and sure whichever country is perpetrating it has the same access to Vaccine Research, and the other is to hamper the response to the vaccine. There is a patent a few months ago, a contractor for building the hospital in london, they were attacked. At that was slightly mysterious. Just the record of all the ntracts working with the some people speculated that this might be part of a slightlye me elabortionstate campaign trying to undermine systematically our response to the virus. The u. K. Government has announced that it is almost certain thatruhat it called ian actors sought to terfere with the electio social mediaeak some confidential papers. Igheres the fosecretary. We are in a position to say we believeou know with reasonable confidence that russian actors were involved in trying to interfereith a 2019 election, principally through trying t spread and amplify online, illegally obtained leaked documents on the u. S. Trade negotiatns. Is important to wait on specific attribution but we reserve our right to take opapate measures. Between 19 election is not the only photo pressure is interfering wi. European union is believedhe to be targeted by the author. Yet to publish it. This is from november of 2019. She says the report names nine russian Business People who have doto the conservative party and britains intelligence agencies were understood to be furious with the delay in releasing the report. Seven months later, the report has still not been published. The conservative paouy kicked one of their mps after he was elecd as head of the Intelligence Committee in charge favor of the preferred candidate. A government source accus mr. Lewis of colluding to secure the position. Tno impressed, he said on twitter. In october, the remmittee had a rt ready to publish about russian interference. In novembed in the general election campaign. A round of applause for downing street, everne. Lets get some reaction from olga, russian services. She ins us live. Going back to theseio accus, the allegations, the vaccine for coronavirus. Spwhat has russias se been so far . A spokesman of russia pauses president said today they have and do not know why. It comes as no surprise because for saying that these folks, it is like a winchun a witchhunt, and no evidence has been provided. On the one hand, all of these things connected to hackers, it is really hard to attribute certain actions to certain people. Evenarder for state actors. On the oth hand, all of this without all of those big allegations, not backed by we do not see why these conclusions were made. This only heah mr. Put to listen, providing this, saying allegations, it is slight is easser for them to depict ru as surrounded by enemies. Backing it away. When it comes to the u. K. , w have talked and awful lot about this report that we arein expepotentially next week, about alleged russia interference over the brexit vote. Is that getting as much or if any attention in russia . Definitely not that many attention. Once again, the russia state is not paying much attention to that. They are way more interested in black lives Matter Movement than unrest, connected to that one, for example. But this report is alsote were because names elite, names of russian businessmen, some had all the ttroubles in russia and h so definitely, is not that simple and a little everyone is looking forward to seeing the names and conclusions. It is never as simple. Many thanks. Lets talk about the potentials coronaviccines being developed. There are 23 in Clinical Trials right now. They encourage earultsopment. Results from some clinicalarly trials. People with the vaccineave to be exposed to coronavirus in their daily life without being infected. It w could bel into next year before that actually happens naturally. Some scientists want to speed up the protestsis. S an open letter signed by more than 100 prominent figures. The Organization Behind itma is up of mor than 30,000te wouldbe voluns from Different Countries who say they are prepared to take parin what are called challenge s ials. If challenge trin safely and effectively speed up the development progress, their use would require a compelling ethica justification to overcome. It would speed things up. I have sat and watched, about 10 years ago, some volunteers being deliberately infected withof typhoid as par trial. That was in oxford, after they had been given a new vaccine, they we knew what letting themselves in for. Th that particular illness, there was a very effective treatment had they fallen ill, but would have record from beingvi sick, with coros and covid19, though they are beginning to have some treatments, there is not a guarantee. This group one day sooner, in the u. S. , is saying that really, the risk to young and for 20 euros from covid19 is so small, smaller than the risks of donati a kidney, but the potential benefits to society fr knowing very quickly which of the 23 vaccinesde currently trial actually works, we could save tens of thousands of lives if we one of these challenge trials. Thatn is the lateste vaccine. We will start right here in the u. K. The government announced that a city will remain under lockdown, though some restrictions will be eased. While the situation has improved this month, the rate of infection is well above the national average. Here is the Health Secretarys announcement. From 24th of july, we will remove restrictions o and early years childcare and take a more child a more other restrictions like travel and only having social gatherings of up to six people, will remain in force. Not long before that statement was made, the u. K. s chief scientific advisor was being questioned by mps on britis handling of the crisis in general. It is very difficult to know exactly where we stand at the it is clear that the outcome has not been good in the u. K. The u. K. When he says the outcome has not been good, this is what he is talking about. U. K. Repted more cases and deaths than any other country in europe that is almost 300,000 infections, 45,000 deaths. Globally, only the young states and brazil have a worse death toll. The opposition here is asking the question, did the u. Kwn lockarly enough . They have drawn attention from this statement today. When they saw that the doling time had gone down to three days,hich was in the middle of march, tt is when the advice which was issued was the remainder of measures introduced as soon as possible. I think that advice is given on let me recap that. Of march. Vehe said the ments advisory body issued a recommendation as soon as possible on egypt either march 16 or 18. Those dates are important because they di not have a lockdown until march 23. Th is five days, possibly four weeks after he was advised to do so. The Health Secretary defended the governments response. The 16th of march was the dad came to this house and sai that all unnecessary social contact could should cease. That is precisely when the lockdown was started. U t. Government start did start encouraging people to stay home but not exactly the same as a full on lockdown. Spain has the secondhighest number of cases in europe and has reported more than 250,000 infections and 28,000 deaths. The country took timeout to pay tribute for those victims. Memorial services outside in madrid. Remembering those who passed away. I would like to share deep condolences. I would like to share with them our affection and great emotion.

Rug ia try steal Coronavirus Research from britain and around the world. Egypt, out of ethiopia, which is starting to fill a resvoir beyond a controversial on t blue nile. Satellite Images Released this week show water battle backing up. Now reporting reduced water flow in its section of the nile river. They are worried the dam will reduce their access to water. In the latest weekly report,y here is whegypt and ethiopia cannot agree on the nile dam. This is the dam that ethiopia built across it. To transform the country, and the reservoir is starting to fill. So i can ethiopia and egypt agree on the nile dam . This stand up standoff is about water, history, politics, and who sets the rules. The egypt president says the nile is a question of life, a matterf o existence for egypt, to which this is thely r the nile is as important to japan as it is sudan, the source of livelihood. No one doubts the wealth in the water, it is how you divvy it up. Work began in 2011. These pictures were from 2018. Eforthiopians, this is personal. They pay for the dam through hedonations and loans and goal is to give electricity to more than 65 million of them who do not have it. This is a grand ambition. In the words of the manager, to cowreck to eradicate on enemy. It cannot . Done without creating poverty somewhere else. The dam is on the blue nile. It joins the white nile in sudan and flow nth to the nile in egypt. Whose present intertwined with the river. From farmers to the foreign minister, issue actions argue if the river changes, everyt ng there is no w egypthout water. We either have water or there is no future for us. Decreasing the water share will kill us slowly. Roct could endanger the survivabili very of the entire nation. Britain recognized egypts historical rights to the river and gave it the power to veto any future construction upstream. That was reinforced in 1959, neither made any allows for ethiopia. Perhaps not unreasonably, that still rankles. An egypt and sas a portion between the two of them. Nothing for ethiopia. But egypt argues the s stillcal agreement vali g callis the most absurd thing you ever heard. It helps explain what the economist describes as the toxic mood iboth countries. It says egyptians have cast ethiopia as a thief bent on drying up their country. In ethiopi it iportrayed as a power on not sovereignty. None of which sounds promising. We ask who can resolve this. The trump administration, the u. N. , and the African Community have all tried to mediate. Here is the evidence. This satlite images from the end ofune. Note the water from the dam. This is mid july. Ethiopia has confirmedrv that te rer is filling up. The key stumbling blockal to the s even the opios reluctance to put a figure on how much water it will release. Egypt wants a guaranteed amount even during drodahts. Also wants guarantees. It says that signinan agreement is a prerequisite for us before filling the dam. Sudan has the right to demand it. Maybe, but ethiopia knows it tthe slognts egypt and suggests that ethiopia is rather enjoying the shift in e power dynamic. Ethiopians, they have been uploaded to tip tiktok. Ifpi the sudan, and south sudan, egypts share is poure out anthe and wiped clean. This leaves ethiopians with a decision, whether to compromise. The dam is theirs but the river is not. The Security Council was told recently, no nation. Is an island if the opera pot ethiopias reemise tgnize that. His political approach is often described by a word which means coming together, rejecting dogma, and promoting compromise. His commitment to the idea is being tested. Thanks. New detailsave been revealed in the sons surfaces by the most detailed pictures ever ken. This is a joint mission between nasa and the europeans baseden space. Here is our science correspondent. Our son seen in remarkable closeup detail. These images reveal something we have never seen before. Small solar flares across the camp fire. Hich some have called seeing these for the first time was breathtaking. We were able to see explosions happening all throughout this atmosphere. That and that is the beauty of it. Seeing the sun in a new way that we had never imagined. The spacecraft started a mission in february. Designed to cope with extreme temperatures as it nears our the earth is about 93 million miles from the sun. Other missions have taken pictures from just above our planet. On the first pass, it got much closer. Within 48 million miles. Over the next two years, it is heing closer still, within 25 million miles of the sun. This will give us a totly new view. In the next few yeae , we willle to pull up and look down on the sun, and a leader at the south pole. We have never done that before. We have never taken pictures. It could be dramatically different. Adrian a glimpse of what is to come. Extraordinary pictures. It would be nice to see a little bit of it down here on earth. Ynot v good in the u. K. At the moment.
