The Health Ministry has confirmed that the number of confirmed cases has surged past the 2 million mark. Its now the worst hit country in the world after the us. The brazilian president , Jair Bolsonaro, is among those whove tested positive for the virus. Despite that, hes encouraging the country to reopen and return to normality. Katy watson reports from sao paulo. In these frightening times, moments of comfort are everything. For two months now, this man has been in intensive care. He only has one working lung, its unclear if hell survive. Dr andre asks if hes experiencing pain. All he can do is blink to say yes. These are intense times for everyone. Andre works on shift with his wife, dr fernanda. They live this crisis together 21w. Even here, brazils top Infectious Diseases hospital, coronavirus has floored them. It was the first hospital to fill up in sao paulo and every day they are turning more people away. Its not physical, its psychological. Sometimes we fail and we have to deal with the family pain and theyjust couldnt see those patients, they are not here for them when they are dying. Its the loneliness that they feel, even if they are sedated. I feel safe here, more than outside. Really . Its a comment that says a lot. The president has shunned social distancing and regularly refused to wear masks, despite them being mandatory. The death toll keeps climbing and even now that he has the virus he is supportive of shops and restaurants reopening. There is little love for Jair Bolsonaro on this ward. I think he was the worst thing that we can have in this moment. He was, he is, in fact, irresponsible. He is a person without empathy, and he said, its not my problem. So, is it my problem . In the midst of grief, politics doesnt matter, but everyone is affected. Grave diggers tell me that their work has tripled. No longer do you have hearses bringing in a body, you have vans bringing in five. People often say that this virus isnt visible, but the suffering here is so easy to see. I meet ada nielsen in latin americas largest cemetery. He is exhuming bodies today. With burials rising, space is at a premium, so those whose loved ones died more than three and a half years ago are being asked to collect their bones. The only thing a grave digger is afraid of is getting covid, he says. He has been in thejob for 25 years. His hours are long and it has got personal. His uncle was buried here just a few weeks ago, a childhood friend was also lost to covid 19. Ada nielsen says hisjob nowadays is also that of a counsellor, telling families to stay home and stay safe. If people here understood the point of quarantine, we wouldnt be so busy, he says, things would be different. For those whove passed, little chance to rest in peace in these challenging times. Katy watson, bbc news, sao paulo. Russia has dismissed allegations that it has tried to steal research into a Coronavirus Vaccine and meddled in british politics. The uk, the United States and canada say hackers in russia have targeted organisations trying to find a vaccine. Separately, the British Government says its almost certain there were russian attempts to interfere in the uks last parliamentary election. Our security correspondent Gordon Corera has more. Today, the government lashed out at russias spies, accusing them directly of trying to steal vital uk research on the coronavirus pandemic. Given that the world is trying to come together to find a vaccine for our own people, british people in the uk, but also for people around the world, im afraid its pretty egregious behaviour and it deserves and it should be called out in the way were doing today. Oxford university has been leading the world in developing a vaccine. I understand its one of the labs whose Computer Systems have been targeted. British intelligence says its seen hackers trying to steal data from universities, labs and pharmaceutical companies. But its Cyber Security chief told me its been trying to defend them. Were working flat out to protect Vaccine Research because its so important to the nation right now. With our canadian and american partners, weve seen russian spies, who go by the name of cozy bear and the dukes, try to hack into the networks, undertaking some of our vital research. So, weve been able to detect it. This was russian tv news last night, saying their vaccine, developed jointly with the defence ministry, was nearly ready. The British Government is not saying it has confirmation that the russians have actually obtained sensitive data. Trials here are under way, and it is clear, though, that many countries are racing to find a vaccine, both for National Prestige and to avoid being reliant on others when its ready. These Cyber Attacks on labs are said to have been carried out by a group called cozy bear, part of the russian intelligence services. But today, we learned about another operation allegedly linked to russia. This one involved a more Shadowy Group called Sekondary Infektion, whose exact identity is less clear. Its alleged to have spread Information Online to interfere with last years general election. Applause. During the campaign, labour presented a leaked document, arguing it showed the nhs was on the table in us uk trade talks, but today, the government said it believed that the Russian Group was involved in spreading the document. The Russian ForeignMinistry Today mocked the allegations as confusing and contradictory, but russia has been long accused of trying to meddle, and according to the analyst who uncovered Sekondary Infektions work, the groups aim has been to sow division. Its the kind of thing where you can see theyre trying to drive wedges between Different Countries which are critical of the kremlin. And its interesting that when they did the initial leaks of the trade documents themselves, they didnt actually focus on the nhs. The way they presented the leaks was much more, heres another case of the americans bullying the british. Mr corbyn, do you have anything to say about russian disruption . In a statement today, Jeremy Corbyn said the claim was an attempt to divert attention from a long overdue parliamentary report on russia expected next week. Todays claims are a reminder that even during a Global Health crisis, hackers and spies remain active, and also that tensions between russia and the uk have not gone away. Gordon corera, bbc news. Lets get some of the days other news. The fbi has begun an investigation into the hacking of high profile twitter accounts as part of an apparent bitcoin scam. Among its victims were elon musk, barack obama, kanye west and bill gates. Twitter said the attack took place after employees with access to internal systems were successfully targeted.

Scientists have warned that rising Global Temperatures will increase the risk of people suffering heat stress. This is more thanjust feeling a bit hot. When the body cant cool down, it can lead to a range of Serious Health problems. Its already a big problem for those who work outside in hot countries, but medical staff have experienced similar problems wearing ppe during the coronavirus pandemic. Our science editor David Shukman has this report. In the Tropical Heat of singapore, the medics are dripping with sweat, literally. Theyre caring for patients with covid i9 but theres no air conditioning and the personal protective equipment makes them even hotter. Im actually drenched with sweat inside the ppe. The risk is that hospital staff just keep working, but then collapse from whats called heat stress, where the bodyjust cant cope. Heat stress can happen when theres a combination of two different factors. The first is a High Temperature and the hotter it gets, the more the body tries to protect itself by sweating. The evaporation on the surface of the skin helps to keep the body cool. But, if at the same time theres a high level of humidity, with a lot of moisture in the air, well, then that process of the sweat evaporating cant take place, cooling doesnt happen, the body becomes overheated. That can lead to anything from dizziness to fatigue, to failure of the kidneys. This device measures that combination of heat and humidity and the worry is that as Climate Change makes the world hotter, working conditions for many will become even tougher. This matters for millions of people, especially in developing countries. From brick makers in india, risking their health out in the open to earn a living. To construction workers in the already sweltering gulf. Scientists say that heat stress could become the next big threat after the coronavirus. I see this pandemic almost like a full dress rehearsal for what is to come. This Climate Change, global warming, will be a bigger monster and we really need coordinated efforts across nations to prepare what is to come. Luckily, there are ways to help. Resting in shade is the most obvious solution for people working out of doors, along with fans to keep the air moving and having plenty of water. Researchers have found that simple steps make a real difference. If you can take a complete break, sit down and rest, take on some cold water and be seated in the shade with some air flowing through and allow yourself some recovery during that work day, we are seeing that have a Significant Impact in the health of the workers that were working with. Back in singapore, the hospital lays on semi frozen drinks to help the staff cool down. Many other employers dont think about the impact of heat of heat on their workers, but theres growing evidence that theyll need to as Global Temperatures rise. David shukman, bbc news.

The latest headlines Coronavirus Infections have passed the 2 million mark in brazil, making it the worst hit country after the United States. Western governments say Russian Hackers are trying to steal the research of scientists working on a covid i9 vaccine. Lets stay with that story. Dave masson is from the Cyber Security firm darktrace. I asked him what led britain, the us and canada to the conclusion that russia was trying to steal information. Theyve obviously amassed a lot of intelligence and potentially evidence over a period of time since covid first broke out thats now become serious enough for them to actually combine together for this unprecedented statement. Its very unusual for any nation state to point the finger at another one. The australian Prime Minister wouldnt do so about a month ago when he spoke about australia being under attack. But on this occasion, three canada, the uk and the usa have felt that whats going on and the damage that may well been done was so serious that they decided to come out and make this very public and global statement. And in that report we saw from my colleague gordon, he talked about who these hacking groups might be. He talked about cozy bear and Sekondary Infektion as some of them. They sound like cuddly names, but they certainly dont sound like theyre cuddly in what theyre doing. What do you know about these groups . Theres another one called fancy bear, would you believe . Theyre both linked to russian external service and the gru, which is the Russian Military intelligence service. And in the statement thats been put out by our three nations, theyve actually said that apt29, the cozy bears, also known as the dukes, are working for the russian intelligence services. So, this is attribution in their boldest term right at the russians. So, youre saying this goes right to the heart of the kremlin . It goes right to the heart of what drives russias National Interests. And with these attacks, theyve considered that its in their National Interest to try and get a hold of the research thats gone on around the world, and in this case in the uk, the usa and canada, into covid i9 research. Now, dave, i was reading that canada had warned that biomedicalfacilities could be vulnerable a few months ago. Can you tell us more about that . Yes, back in march, our equivalent of the ncsc, the ca nadaian centre for Cyber Security, warned canada there was potential for attacks on Biomedical Research related to covid i9. Now, that has subsequently come to light. Weve had Biomedical Research facilities attacked. Weve had universities whove been given grants to carry out research into covid i9 suffer a large number of attacks, so the warning has proved to be true. The us attorney general, william barr, has accused hollywood and us tech firms of collaborating with the Chinese Government to do business there. In a speech, mr barr said such actions risk undermining the liberal world order. His intervention is the latest criticism of china by white house and other us officials. And every year at the academy awards, americans are lectured about how this country falls short of hollywoods ideals of social justice. But short of hollywoods ideals of socialjustice. But hollywood now regularly since there own movies to appease the Chinese Communist party. Over the yea rs, communist party. Over the years, corporations such as google, microsoft, yahoo and apple have shown themselves all too willing to collaborate with the ccp. But if disney and other american corporations continue to bow to beijing, they risk undermining both their own future competitiveness and prosperity as well as the Classical Liberal order that has allowed them to thrive. The killing of george floyd in minneapolis continues to resonate around the world, even as far away as australia.

Its not far from where he grew up, but a far cry from keenan mundines own childhood. Thats where the incident happened with my friend. Taken into care aged six, keenan was locked up injuvenile detention for the first time at 14 for theft. He then spent much of the next 15 years behind bars. I turned 18 in juvenile custody. Yeah, i remember that. You just want to be around your family, you just want to be loved. You just want to feel normal. Keenan says the Justice System unfairly targeted young, Aboriginal People like him and that this hasnt changed. I live in constant fear of my children being put in the same positions that i was and having things happen to them that were out of their control and traumatising them for the rest of their lives. I worry about them growing older and being arrested by police, being taken to prison. The numbers back up his fear. Aboriginal australians make up less than 3 of the population, but they represent more than a quarter of adult prisoners here. And in youth detention, more than h
