his eastern ukraine muslin jordan picks up the story for us from from washington. on the sunday public affair shows here in the united states. it was the white house national security advisor jake sullivan, who was arguing why people should be worried about a potential russian invasion of ukraine on his way back to the white house on sunday afternoon. u. s. president joe biden spoke briefly with reporters about the situation. ah, i'm not going to speculate on that with i think baby cannot get on monday, the u. s. president will welcome to the white house, the new german chancellor, old schultz. they're expected to talk about the risk of a russian invasion in ukraine and the potential impact that could have on germany's

energy supplies. a un reports as the north korea has stolen tens of millions of dollars of crypto currency to help finance it's nuclear, a ballistic missile program. it says the pyongyang stole more than $50000000.00 through cyber attacks between 2020 and last year. a separate study indicates that as much as $400000000.00 may have been stolen, both korea conducted mine ballistic missile tests last month. i want to see was rob mcbride reports now from sol. they still follow a pattern. we do know that north korea has been accused now for years of being involved in all sorts of nefarious international criminal activity as a way of getting much needed foreign reserves to basically let it survive. it has been involved, for example, has been accused of being involved in international narcotics in illegal sales. but it does seem to have found a lucrative avenue in cyber crime with another report in 2019, for example,

from the un suggesting that north korea had managed to accrue $2000000000.00 worth of digital assets in recent times. with the current economic, dire straits that your career is in, it seems as though it's not going to desist from this cyber crime because of course, it faced his international sanctions. the impact of 2 years of basically being cut off from the outside world. by the pandemic, it is very difficult to di, economic straits, or talk of food shortages in north korea. and as we get into 2022, it's still the same question of how to deal with north korea, especially given this flurry of missile launches. jim addison is a tech expert and ceo of social flow. he says the crypto currencies aren't as hard to trace as people think. in many ways crypto currency as a criminal's dream or a rogue nation. if you want to look at it that way because it is anonymous and you

can't find it, but the very fact that it's not backed by a government means it must be traceable. and so i'll use, for example, a us $100.00 bill like this. it's got a serial number on it, but good luck trying to understand who's used that $100.00 bill. crypto currency is actually traceable and your anonymity is dependent on you getting it right every single time. if you're anonymous for a 1000 transactions and you slip up just one time, then all the sudden, not just the transaction you slipped up on every single prior transaction is no longer anonymous. so i think it's a lot less ideal for road nations or criminal than you might think. so when you talk about these exchanges, if i have a crypto currency in an exchange and i have to log in, what do i have to use? i have to use a username and password and that is almost always the biggest point of vulnerability you. you launch a fishing attack against me. i don't really realize that i give you my credentials . i mistakenly log into what i think is my crypto currency exchange. but it's that if it's a server hosted by somebody malicious all the sudden they have my username and

password and within minutes if not seconds, you know, they can drain my wallet, transfer that crypto current to somewhere else that i can't get. and again, it's, it's not backed by a government, so it's, it's very effective once they've hacked and gotten your credentials. and i strongly suspect that that's a big, big portion of how they've managed to do the tax. australia is to fully reopen its borders, maybe 2 years after the government closed the country off to the rest of the world . from february 21st, fully vaccinated travelers can enter the country, means the tourists can finally return a study. it was only allowing in a limited number of citizens and permanent residents, making it one of the harshest border closures in the world. while making the announcement from mister scott morrison alluded to the deportation of unvaccinated tennis plan. that joke of its last month. but we just want to stress that you will need to provide that proof of vaccination. your visa is one thing that your entry into strive, yes requires you also to be double vaccinated. and i think events earlier in the

year should have sent a very clear message. i think that every around the world that that is the requirement to enter into astronomy of the philippines has begun to fascinate children, aged between 5 and 11 against cobit 19. it's going ahead, despite a legal challenge by 2 parents who want to stop the program, general allan doug and reports now from manila. the 1st day of the vaccination of so dread looks like a festive affair. here in manila, it's done and a newly renovated manila 0. there are mascot and kansas for children who are afraid of injections. but for the government, the vaccination of kids between the age of 5 to 11 couldn't come soon enough. that's because the recent data of the department of health shows nearly 70 percent of coven cases. among the pediatric group last month were from age 0 to $11.00.

i know that he was up a was a lot below asking all fathers, all mothers to convince your relatives and neighbors all your acquaintances tell them to have your children vaccinated to that your children will soon have a normal life. this is extremely important. and although colvin cases have been slowing down over the past few days, here in manila, the situation is different. in many provinces, across the country. still for the parents are bringing their children for vaccination to day. they remain hopeful that this would finally be the weight for the reopening of school and their return to normalcy for their children. again. japan's prime minister for bianca shita says that he wants to double the cobra plan to boost a short program to $1000000.00 versus a day by the end of the month. restaurant 5 percent of the japanese population was received vaccine booster shots, nation wide infections driven by the other con variant surpassed 100000 for the 1st time on saturday. hong kong strict 0 cove,
