6 pro-democracy protesters in exile and chile's president received a frosty reception during his state of the nation address following months of political crisis and is for the owner of the milwaukee brewers says the major league baseball season could still be cancelled the warning comes as more games are postponed due to players testing positive for corona virus. welcome to the news we begin with the latest developments on the coronavirus pandemic because the global number of infections continues to accelerate so does the global race to find a vaccine now russia has announced that mass vaccinations could begin in october the health minister gave no details about the vaccine to be used and it's not clear if the treatment produces an immune response it comes as japan faces a resurgence in cases tokyo. you confirm the record of 472 corona virus infections
1:02 pm
on saturday and the capital's governor says a citywide state of emergency may well have to be imposed is a step that's already been taken in okinawa where an outbreak is suspected to have originated at a u.s. military base over in greece 6 ports have been reopened for cruise ships the global cruise industry has been one of the hardest hit by the pandemic of the ships had major outbreaks early on well joining me now is derek gatherer he's a viral or just a lecturer at the university of lancaster in the north of england good to have you with the search on the program one might sort of start by saying where has this vaccine come from in terms of russia you know we never knew anything about it developing one considering there are been other high profile vaccines sort of the research and trials stage. yes the russian vaccine it's been reported by a task news agency official news agency in russia is an add in
1:03 pm
a virus based vaccine so that's a similar technology to the one that's being developed here oxford university which is known as the child or vaccine so a child stands for chimpanzee and in a virus or expert the basic principle is that chimpanzee advice doesn't produce any pathology and humans or you can be invented with that and have new symptoms a troll and then that genetic range near so and have protein from the virus that you want to me nice against is inserted into the chimpanzee identifiers genome and then your immune system when it sees this common and vaccine virus will produce a lot sign to bodies to the protein that you want to immunize against and in the case of covert 19 that despite protein which is the protein on the surface of the of the group in 1000 virus in order to get the immune system a good chance to produce lots of antibodies against that and. produce resistance and who is that see the vaccine so although we don't know anything about the
1:04 pm
details of the russian vaccine the fact that they've announced it's identify this piece suggests to me at least that it's going to be a fairly similar technology to the oxford want to move probably work in same way. of seeing what's going on with your. scientific colleagues around the world in your opinion where all the most encouraging trials for a vaccination actually occurring a should we be looking to for vaccine you might see a breakthrough. there's over 200 scenes that in development in some stage and several dozen know that are in the clinical trials phase in fact that the russians have as well as announcing that this vaccine is very near to being being launched as a public vaccination campaign in russia also have another $22.00 vaccines of their own in various stages of development and 4 of them are quite near approval of the
1:05 pm
russian vaccine initially it will be russia although apparently they are seeking international approval from there from internationally to the boards which would enable them to to sell a vaccine or to co-develop vaccine with other countries but it would need to gates and international privily needs satisfying and world health organization and other boards that is actually more safe and if you keep. and so on there are there are 4 or 5 quite high profile accidents at the moment where i mentioned the china expects in which is being developed in the u.k. there's also a. vaccine that's been developed in the u.s.c. and the french fraxinus where they all have slightly different technologies that some some of the vaccines are killed and activated virus you're actually injected with with it with a date coronavirus are those are based on because they didn't take knowledge it right they had invited for chandra x. type vaccines and there are those that are are in
1:06 pm
a vaccine which means inject it with with vytorin any which itself is it will produce proteins that you can form an immune response against but can what. causes disease so there was a sort of 4 or 5 talk contained doesn't want to move and so in terms of the russian vaccine to be they're talking about less production in october in the old but sort of the u.s. infectious disease expert dr anthony felt she has already wall that there has to be stringent testing it has to be successful before less about sedation there's always a worry is there not about side effects. yes vaccines take a long time to develop and if you go back to the last pandemic that made the news nothing which is equivalent of spiking 2016 we still don't have a surprise that's ready for what we used to the some some of the early crossing results and in complications of rules the same that we've devised which is your vital storms are a difficult subject to develop vaccines against and we have
1:07 pm
a problems with other flu viruses so if you find a spike season past with current highest maxine's we've never tried to develop a vaccine to immunise humans against group of viruses that are some and move axes that have been developed vaccines against humans and for criminals is this this is the 1st one so this presents what problems under normal circumstances a b t several years for this to get regulatory approval but because of the international that you see lots of these processes which would not be run sequentially and over are now running in potlucks of france without that and governments are already placing orders for 4 vaccines and one on the off chance that one of them will pass regular trip brutal and then you know immediately be able to begin production of a large scale indeed we'll see what happens don't go there from the university of lancaster thanks for joining us from the u.k. . break of the japanese on the japanese
1:08 pm
island of okinawa has been blamed on u.s. troops but the force commander says there's no evidence of transmission to the local community the bottom line is our procedures for u.s. forces and our stringent they are affected and while we have seen a growth in cases in a couple of our bases of them managed they have been contained and there has been absolutely no connection of the that has been proven to show that there has been any spread from the costers on the bases to the local community. uncle pan is the president of the shin get soon news agency in the capital he says there's been an explosion in cases the rise in covert making cases across the country has been kind of steady for some weeks and it just hasn't and that trend upward trend has just continued on and on and now we're getting into more crisis levels in the case open now as specifically the there is concern that perhaps the reason why it's
1:09 pm
hitting that island particularly strongly is because u.s. forces particularly the u.s. marines have been able to come in and out of japan without going through immigration controls and until very recently without any covert 19 tests under the status of forces agreement but this link is strongly suspected by both the local government and the residents and now they're going to have to go into a more sort of a soft lockdown stereo in that prefecture that's for the spike it's really been coming steadily so it isn't you know it isn't one thing it is sort of something which has been spiraling slowly out of control over weeks and weeks and what one key thing to understand is that the national government has opposed any sort of lockdown or any sort of restrictions on people's movements to even promoted a national tourism campaign in the midst of the pandemic so what you have going on
1:10 pm
here is a lot of local governors including governor yuriko toy quite kate of tokyo who are essentially acting against the will of the national government which doesn't want any sort of restrictions at all. leader of the south korean church has been arrested accused of concealing underreporting coronavirus cases prosecutors say that he hampered the government's anti virus response the 88 year old in ezechias ations and says he cooperated with the health department more than a 3rd of south korea's infections have been linked to this church by reports now from and on city in south korea's north young son province. it was by far the most serious outbreak dating back to very nearly the beginning of the epidemic in february and march here in south korea accounting for more than a 3rd of the country's $14000.00 plus cases mainly in the southeastern city of daegu but also in neighboring provinces such as here north sang the church says it
1:11 pm
has hundreds of thousands of members but is regarded by mainstream religions as being more of a sect it's alleged that it held on to some of the lists of its members making the process of tracing and testing some of its congregants all the more difficult and in fact some of its offices were raided by the authorities but from the start it's leader liam and he and other church leaders have claimed that any sense saying that they have been cooperating with your thora tease throughout a spokesperson saying that the truth will come out in court. agrees is lifted his ban on cruise ships which will now be able to dock with some restrictions will be allowed into 6 major ports including prince roads and call through with but if only all passengers on board have tested negative for covert 19 the industry has been one of the worst hit by the pandemic most companies council months of trips and many won't restart until next year several have already declared bankruptcy
1:12 pm
governments including the u.s. and u.k. are still advising their citizens against cruise travel but some people are afloat in oil passengers of the roald amundsen ship are being told to self isolate after 4 crew members were permitted to hospital with the virus douglas ward spent 17 years at sea and is the author of the berlitz cruising and cruise ships 2020 joins me now from lymington on england's south coast could have you with us mr ward on the program let's just begin with greece to start with they have always had very tight covert 19 restrictions and done for a pretty good job in keeping a lid on infections and deaths but like many mediterranean countries with the cruise industry they need tourism revenue and it's either now or never. absolutely and it happened so happens that today is the 1st day when degree ports have announced that they will be accessible to cruise ships however that's only for courting ships which means that the cruise lines and the basting greece can home
1:13 pm
port and return to their homes so it's a greek domestic cruise and it will be full greek nationals at the moment but the good thing is that unleashed shows that countries are now willing to open up to cruising of course is important to greece in terms of that industry how important is the cruise industry unthought modes of transport to that particular country. well i think greece has so many items there is a huge ferry industry so people going on holiday will take ferries into island ferry but for cruising the good thing about cruising is that they can change the destination for you every single day so you can visit to us reports troops who iowans in a single cruise you can visit for 5 vote question nations so i think actually cruising is good and there's so much pent up team on. the danger i think at the
1:14 pm
moment it's where. companies with the launch cruise ships. try to enter the orient into the market to quickly. but you know i think there's so much tomorrow especially for cruising next year ok well when we say you know wait for example so it's interesting norway for example seeing one of their cruise liners infected customers under a scenario of track and trace at the moment because they've already disembarked it's ok for organized trips perhaps organized companies but increased as a safe ships like buses in the summer i mean how could also a tease keep that whole hygiene scenario. on track and also be able to track and trace where there was but one of the volumes is so immense. it is but greece doesn't have a big cruise industry at the moment it's been it's been waning over the last few years there are less companies now operating out or doing anything it's that the
1:15 pm
cruise industry has the protocols in place all the enhanced sanitation increased air conditioning and all the prescreening so it should be easy to trace person goes if anyone comes down with the virus. however just like any other place where there is an ice skating rink or it's golf course or pitch it so the environment where you have in the chamber and tracing everybody is a bit of a bit of a labor job. we've seen sort of the same problems in the cruise industry as we have in the airline industry where they need to try and change the business in terms of hygiene and by a security company such as carnival disney princess majestical moving forward now if they get to operate again we'll have to look at the airlines have done in terms of hygiene and bio security because they'll have to cut capacity perhaps and also think about health requirements those increased costs for the passenger.
1:16 pm
yes they are they all have to be passed on and it's not only the decrease in passenger numbers yes we had a german german ship from to recruit this week sailing with 100 passengers instead of the usual 2900 passengers so you can see that the cruise industry really huge complying with all the latest scientific and health advice so it just remains to be seen as long as the cruise lines don't jump the gun and try to enter the market too quickly and of course this does play havoc with the economies and the not only the economies of the cruise lines themselves but i'm always afraid that the crew members need to be resourced a lot of the crew members we have over 200000 crewmembers now that are out of work and many of these crew members and their families rely on the cruise industry to
1:17 pm
help them find work indeed we will see how that all pans out in the days months ahead for the moments douglas will thanks for joining us from lymington england south coast you're welcome. plenty ahead here on the news hour including answering protesters demands iraq's prime minister says an election will be held a year sooner than planned. and going hungry a bunch of lebanon could soon struggle to feed its very untrue to. put in support top model when installed as a back playing in the united states for the 1st time since the code of honor small term. donald trump is trying to use his presidential powers to bar the chinese own social media platform to talk from the u.s. the signal that he didn't support an american takeover of the company amid reports that microsoft is in talks to buy tech talk and we see. it's still latest rift in
1:18 pm
the escalating tech war between the u.s. and china for weeks u.s. officials have raised security concerns over the chinese owned video tick-tock saying it can help aging spot on americans and now president donald trump threatened to fan it all together well look here that we may be bending we may be doing some other things a couple of options but a lot of things are happening so we'll see what happens but we are looking at a lot of alternatives with respect to. trump stepped up his rhetoric following reports that he may sign an order forcing chinese parent company might dance to sell the u.s. portion of take talk microsoft was set to be in talks to acquire it but neither start confirmed any deal in a blog post earlier this week to talks chief kevin mayer says his company is not being treated fairly he says it's receiving more scrutiny because of its chinese
1:19 pm
origins and insists it is not the enemy talks estimated to have 800000000 active users worldwide a 10th of them in the u.s. experts say banning it would be challenging i think it's very unclear what a ban would look like and what it would mean you know it's very hard to ban something that's popular among the use it's just you know if your parents tell you not to do something it makes you want to do it more in june a video that went viral on tech talk was seen as one of the reasons behind the poor attendance at trump's campaign rally in tulsa oklahoma forcing a wildly popular app off the smartphones of millions of americans could prove to be an unpopular move ahead of trump's reelection bid and they sue. well fine gold is an asia political risk analysis is joining us from taipei taiwan good to have you with us ross on the program again how much of a political move rather than one based on the science that talk is
1:20 pm
a national security threat to the usa. well certainly there's a political aspect to this the trip administration has taken a series of actions pretty much over the course of the time it's been in office but it's stepped up these actions within the last few years targeting chinese behavior whether it's the corporate world the chinese corporate world or government entities individual sanctions. you know this you just the latest in a pattern of actions that the u.s. government has taken to try to level the playing field whether it's on trade issues or data security intellectual property theft concerns so yes there's a heavy political element but it does fit into a pattern of actions that the trump administration has been taking this is not something started. on a sudden that reports on another want to say it's a young person's kid singing talking showing their entirety bedrooms cooking showing how make up even goes on i mean when one does what the chinese can actually
1:21 pm
gone from they secluding to the insinuations being made by the american president. well there is a concern about data security and it's not the 1st time this is arose with chinese internet companies that either had a presence in the united states or attempting to enter the u.s. market and it's a concern that u.s. user data might be stored in china obviously tick-tock has dried us away denied that they store user data and if tick-tock or its owners decide to challenge the action of the united states government that will be the key issue to have the u.s. government provide proof that data is being stored overseas but keeping in mind the extraordinary number of users who we're talking 70000000 people to the extent that this risk does exist that data might find its way into china and it's understandable that the u.s. government would be concerned even if we are talking about oh sure fun video clips
1:22 pm
of mostly young people in everyday activities if there is an executive order against this. organized by the president himself is there any technical way around it full people who want to maintain and keep that to talk accounts. at the ultimate result there probably would be a force yalit again it's not the 1st time that the u.s. government has forced the chinese own app company to sell their u.s. assets grindr being one of the more prominent examples but if the u.s. borders it to be banned you know there are a lot of questions about how that would play out in practice but it will disappear from the app stores pretty quickly because the app stores are talking to challenge the federal government in that regard where you wouldn't be able to update it other than taking a very extraordinary measures to do. it would probably very quickly become a product that you could not use it would be feasible to use it in the united
1:23 pm
states and it's always possible as is common in the internet world that another product will come along anyway russ feingold always good to speak to thanks for joining us from taipei a chinese paramilitary group accused of torturing weaken muslims is having its american assets frozen by the u.s. government the treasury department says the sheen gen production and construction coal is involved in mass imprisonment the u.n. says more than a 1000000 illegal is on in prison comes china calls them reeducation camps necessary to counter muslim extremism police in hong kong demanding the arrests of 6 pro-democracy activists living in exile they include former british consular work assignment showing he says he was tortured by chinese agents for information about antigovernment protests also on the wanted list as prominent opposition sit in nathan lord now he fled to london in fear of persecution under the new national security law imposed by china it's the will to be the 1st time
1:24 pm
police have targeted activists outside the tent a tree under the new legislation has concerns over to view the problem a correspondent in hong kong is monitoring events exile really is no protection against this national security law so what's the idea behind even charging people who are out of the territory. now china has always maintained that foreign interference is behind the dissent in hong kong and the protests that we saw last year or so seeking the arrests of these activists abroad just underlines that point one of the main tenets of this national security laws that hit us no boundaries anyone whether you're hong kong resident or not whether you're in hong kong or not can be arrested for violating this law but analysts say china is trying to achieve other goals too with this for one thing it's trying to stir up nationalistic sentiment as the country tries to recover from the coronavirus pandemic and one of the ways of doing this is fight tightening its grip
1:25 pm
over hong kong and the hong kong people but beijing seems to also want to send a message to the international community and of you recall many countries including the u.s. and the u.k. have criticized it not condemned the move to implement that national security law with some even threatening tariffs so this is china telling them that they are not going to be intimidated and that their reach would even x. tend to soil international soil beyond the jurisdiction of hong kong and china also many countries have recently suspended or cut their extradition treaties with hong kong hong kong has separate agreements from the rest of china china is once again sending a message saying that this is of no matter to them and in the latest germany has just suspended its extradition treaty with hong kong incidentally one of those activists which are wanted by the hong kong national security police force is
1:26 pm
currently seeking asylum in a germany's a pro in the pendants activist and a protester. was obvious from locals and you. so is a us citizen activists wanted by the whole cold police and he told his or the chinese government is acting like a dictatorship the walls to stamp out all forms of opposition i think that i was outrage and really not surprised but this is such an outlandish claim that somehow they have jurisdiction an american citizen lobbying an american government is just completely out of line i think i'm not the only person who's out ritually up spoken to a number of congressional offices and i as i said from the very beginning when the law what's. going to come after me they must love marched down to capitol hill and the rest speaker pelosi said senator rubio said and everybody in the white house
1:27 pm
because they too have been under this all articles you know that it is using to charge people like me. a session and colluding with foreign powers and that i think is what they're both not understanding is that they're creating really a perception of how desperate and house they are global international influence and pressure i think that this is what dictators do one day know that they have lost the hearts and minds of their people they go out and disqualified opposition leaders who they issue or and about press before dissidents and they delayed any sort of democratic practices and process and elections because they want to saw what is with the production and i think that they might be able to lead us more in here but all of that are really doing is growing their movement and
1:28 pm
reinforcing the commitment all of us have that will once again be a free city one day. iraq's prime minister has announced a general election next june which will be a year earlier than churchill's was to far and it had a me promised an early vote when he took office in may lots of anti-government demonstrations demanded early elections protesters want to government over a whole and to corruption and to sectarianism the higher that monsoon is the director of the iraq initiative at the u.k. think tank chatham house and he says the prime minister's ambition to push through forms wasn't in line with the protesters key demand for early elections most of them the me as you know not even been prime minister 400 days yet he came in promising reform and a whole host if you look at his government have a whole host of different types of reform he didn't really talk as much about elections early elections as you were trying to wipe corruption and those bigger
1:29 pm
demands when i think it's been a very rocky sort of premiership. in his time he has seen assassinations increase with for example a sham of hashim use assassination a few weeks ago then last monday here square in protest of you know his forces shot at what has to think you know report that's there's so very clearly his bigger ambition for reform is bigger ambition to try and within the 2 years that he had to try to do something different was not working and i think this kind of was his hope that option to some extent ok i need the public you need he's trying to gather public support by going to what has been there may be a man on the beginning and you like sions. time for the weather to his robin it's incredibly hot over europe it is as you know it's never reliable to clean the north and that's true now as well so behind it for the color of the over the whole map the deeper the red of the hostilities that the heat did reach in then i always got to scotland to be honest which whenever it happens people just get out on the
1:30 pm
beaches the south coast of england and coast central london just examples of where the sunshine was very much enjoyed and the temps are actually nearly even up quite broke a record so it is important record that he's our airport that's point one celsius off the july record all the hotter as a record but not that much we're not going to break it tempers are already dropping it was really hot course in france that 42 so a little bit high wasn't a temperature that was measured in the shade however for 2 would be a new record for paris for july obviously equally joyed now as i say it's not reliable in northern europe so this will streak of cloud here's a cold front that's doing what it says it's bringing colder air all things being relative it's not it's just not as hot as it was the forecast for london down about 25 degrees and down to 22 so just dipping a little bit below the average now usually you lose this heat inordinate with other thunderstorms that's eventually going to be the case more spectacular think over
1:31 pm
the alps but probably not until sometime late on sunday so thanks so much rob. still ahead here on the al-jazeera news getting on the korea louder in britain is becoming even harder. and how a teenager and barack obama are connected any twitter hacking scandal. also installed the american basketball player who chose to stand apart from his teammates during the pre-game national anthem and it will have the details to me up . came from the countryside to cairo and became. part of a. this a just role is different from being the doorman al-jazeera world meets the man who's been keeping a close eye on residential life in the big cities for decades but who may now be passing into history. will see for movies he wasn't dormant but he's now managed by
1:32 pm
a security company the doman of egypt on al-jazeera. the u.s. is always of interest to people all around the world this is been going on for a number of those with tear gas being used to push the fight back ugh you know reports story from an international perspective to try to explain your global audience why it's important how did could impart their life at the height of the storm the water was too high it would be above my head this is an important part of the world people pay attention to what we're going to hear now does it is very good to bring the news to the world from here. to move.
1:33 pm
welcome back you're watching al-jazeera news hour with me said the reminder of our top stories russia has announced that mass vaccinations against corona virus could begin as soon as the health minister gave no details about the vaccine to be used and it's not clear if the treatment produces an immune response donald trump is vowing to use his presidential powers to ban the chinese own social media platform to talk from the u.s. the president is against microsoft's reported takeover attempt of the firm's u.s. operations. and police in hong kong are demanding the arrest of 6 pro-democracy activists living in exile is the 1st time police have targeted activists outside the territory under the new national security or imposed by china. president has announced a ford a half $1000000000.00 boost for the economy to help soften the blow of the pandemic so i made the announcement during his state of the nation address latin america at the newman reports from santiago. everything about this year's state of the
1:34 pm
nation address was a normal starting with the fact that it was delivered more than 2 months late because of the pandemic the president's problems began much earlier. these last 9 months have been very difficult and demanding for everyone and they have been very extraordinarily difficult for me. but like many chileans not in the past and was taken aback that he barely mentioned one of the most important reasons 9 months ago a nation wide social uprising brought millions of chileans out onto the streets to demand profound reforms protests then and rage fanned by police brutality seemed unstoppable. instead the president focused on efforts to confront the pandemic and to help the poor and middle class ride out a steep economic recession. you know dana says she hasn't received
1:35 pm
a cent even though she's been out of work since april when i hear him speak i cannot trust a word he says he has lied to so much and the things he should be talking about it i don't believe what is promising. others weren't listening at all. in this middle class neighborhood resident or even waving the president. already banging on one. show their discontent. here we are hearing reports that another part of town in the low income neighborhoods the demonstrations of just pretend to have a home or violent. appealed for understanding. i want to tell those families who are still waiting for help to arrive there we'll do everything in our power to correct our mistakes finally i want to tell you that a house divided cannot prevail. but dos had been hoping to hear the presidential
1:36 pm
more humility even as his leadership is questioned even by some members of his own conservative coalition were clearly disappointed you see in human al-jazeera sente out all. of those restrictions have been reimposed in parts of northern england after an increase in infections pubs restaurants cafes and gyms remain open but some people feel they're being unfairly targeted by the new rules john holmes joins me now from manchester a journey the last latest set of localised measures to control the virus are now in place in the north of england how is the community responding to the. work well with a pretty fair degree of skepticism i think we can say extending to outright anger particularly among the large muslim population up here in the north in the affected areas around greater manchester parts of east lancashire west yorkshire leicester and that is because these new measures specifically state that different households
1:37 pm
groups could no longer mix under the same roof they could no longer mix in private gardens and that is specifically what muslim families would seek to be doing on this weekend as they celebrate the 1st of all of eden that has led as you mentioned there to voices within the community suggesting very loudly that they are being unfairly targeted by these measures particularly as they look out and see the crowded pubs as they look out and see the beaches full to bursting in the summer heat. localized restrictions affecting millions of people in northern england who have come at a worse time for the large muslim population they came into effect on the eve of each other one of islam's holiest dates i had phone calls all night all of it is a lockdown kind of. you know what is was going on with another log that really confused people that. it's faith leaders say the community feels let down having
1:38 pm
done everything possible to mitigate the spread of the virus there is kind of confusion. and i want to say hate but i would say that the people are shocked with that kind of immediate action that's taken place the prime minister has warned of the need to act fast in the face of rising infection rates a possible 2nd wave he said it was time to put the brakes on a return to normality our assessment is that we should now squeeze that brake pedal squeeze that brake pedal in order to keep the virus under control i know that the steps that we're taking will be a real blow to many people everyone obviously whose wedding plans have been disrupted or who cannot mouse celebrate ied in the way that they would wish and i'm really really sorry about that but we simply cannot take the risk the deputy
1:39 pm
leader of oldham council one of the areas affected says the measures are necessary even if their introduction was mishandled the model messages from national government are just not helpful at all the create a lawful society and in the way that they've been delivered what he has done is create division in our communities and that is something that's i'd really don't appreciate the opposition says it's a new low in government communications during this crisis though there's no denying that infection rates are on the rise but among the questions the muslim community here has is why private households are a problem while drinking in pubs and bars is not. i think if it was in the pub it be fine i think that's really the message they sense i think if indeed it was on the seaside it would be fine and i think what we need to really do is address the question why is everyone feeling angry and it's not some people in the community is everyone everyone feels that it's been targeted at them this was the scene during friday's heat wave on the english south coast some call it prejudice
1:40 pm
others pass it off as incompetence but it does seem that in parts of the country code 19 and the government's handling of the crisis is opening up bitter community divides. situation up here in the north of the country as far as the rising infection rates are concerned anyway is not confined to the north of the country infection rates are said to be on the rise now nationally for the 1st time since may and it is clear the government is extremely concerned now about the possibility of a 2nd wave it prompted boris johnson in the last 24 hours to warn that if people don't faithfully uphold the rules of the lockdown the remaining rules will then they risk the return of a full blown a lockdown nationally and that's not very good news when you consider that the latest poll research suggests that only 14 percent 14 percent of adults in this country actually have a fine tuned idea of what those lock down rules are and remember that in
1:41 pm
