these totally secure banks are privilege. a target for both state sponsored argos and also cyber criminal gangs. and i could use a, so call it a 0. the exploit to target the any system and has a great unlikely you the success of your, the flow that the computer system that he's not to know at the time of the attacks . these means that defenders have no idea of a bargain. the system and the talks exploit the thing, no order to reach into the target they talk. you must also consider the initial, they say doctors like russia was, are whether it was said and usually have a multiple view the exploits in the us. and for the reason the friends from the attacks is not simple. canada's prime minister is called a growing protest movement against current virus measures. a threat to the economy, truckers have created a blockade on

a vital border crossing with the u. s. as they protest, vaccine requirements and pandemic restrictions, the so called freedom convoy also continues to good luck the canadian capital for a 2nd week. john 100 reports on the american side of the busiest land crossing between the us and canada. not a wheel is turning. traffic on the basset or bridge had been stopped in both directions. now on the other side from canada to the us, just a trickle of trucks is allowed through. on monday, hundreds of angry truckers disrupted north america's most bustling international commercial connector and they said they'll keep it up until vaccine mandates and other covered 19 restrictions are abolished on both sides of the border in a heated exchange and candidates parliament. prime minister justin trudeau insist canada won't. like you can't. and a pandemic with block hates your head. and a panoramic by decreeing you can even ended by legislation. you

need ended with science you need and with an even as canadians are tired and impatient for it's and we're going to continue to be there for them to support them through it and to make sure we do everything necessary to and her, oh the protesting truckers say they'll continue their blockade as long as it takes so far, police have been reticent to cleared the roads as domino effect when to stop added up with these guys. save each day, hundreds of millions of dollars in commerce crosses the ambassador bridge including 25 percent of canada's total global exports. so with billions it stake each hour and each day the chance of a confrontation between police and protesting truckers increases in the us. and in

canada, patience is wearing thin. it will have to be resolved one way or the other. not saying i to suggest, you know, big one battery ramson else police officers that may not be the solution. but there has to be a resolution. it was were possible. obviously united states, canada, as the stand off wears on it remains to be seen whether the 1st to lose patience will be the protesting truckers or police john handwritten al jazeera on the u. s. canadian border. there are reports, a civil approach has convoys planned and the u. s. white house press secretary jan secchia says washington is closely monitoring the situation and working with canadian officials. ambassador fridge is canada busiest link to the united states and accounts for about 25 percent of trade between the 2 countries. and so the blockade poses arrest to supply chains for the auto industry because the bridge is a key conduit for motor vehicles, components and parts, and delays risk disrupting auto production. we are in close contact. we've been

doing a great deal of work on this. alicia wood randall, our homeland security adviser convened a meeting just today. though in the united states, a growing number of democratic lead states are rolling back face mask mandates. on wednesday, the governor of new york state said its indoor musk policy for businesses would not be renewed when it expires on thursday of the state of illinois and massachusetts, and some mask requirements by the end of the month. mosque mandates have been a hot political issue with state cities and schools all using a range of policies will try and clean this up for she pretends to correspond. that is standing by 1st in washington dc. and she had, i mean, i'd say some governance considering removing the mask mandate while the decision may be well, a controversial one. what's the science saying in the us where it's about are signs. it's also a matter of public health policy. the metrics that the centers for disease control uses the federal organization here in

d. c is rates of transmission that so looking at when they decide on their recommendations for masking mandates, because all the cronies, so transmissible those rates are really, really, really high. so that's why the head of the cdc said that the cdc is not ready yet to recommend loosening vaccine mandates and entry points to arrive to statistics, which are very, very we're in new cases and still it's around 240000 a day in the us daily depths of 2500, a day or hospitalizations were sent over about 100100000 patients. having said that, but with these statistics because of all the problems trans, mr. but there isn't babs very there is no specificity about how many of these cases actually specific coded cases. and how many people are people who went to hospital or something else and were found to have all mcroy and so on. the chronicle cause cycled, i can remember at the time was actually now, but anyway, that wasn't really, i was just trying to be club of that. but the point is that,

you know, there is that, that probably differentiation, incidental cases that you go, the brain is working, incidental cases, even though of course covered, can, can exacerbate existing conditions. i, what we're looking at as a debate about the use of those metrics is a part of the metrics should be different, especially when you're looking at different regions of the country. so instead of looking overall transmission rates should we be looking at overall hospital capacity? because in the end it's all about saving the public health system. and about vaccination rates in particular areas. is that real worry among some public health officials there is that went on the chronic spreading and such a right. even when you're wearing mosques, because it's producing so much virus, that them people are going to not really believe much in my city more so therefore when a new veteran comes up, for example, which is just as, as transmissible, but it's really, really deadly. then how are you going to make people wear masks then? so these are the sort of debates and the guy own underwear. and there really isn't that sort of consensus about what the best way for it is. well, she has,

i'm sure of you as to appreciate a couple of old brains working on this subject at any time of the day. thanks for joining us from washington d. c. now, u. k prime minister boys johnson has indicated the last remaining coven 19 restrictions. may be scrapped early and that includes ending the requirement for people to self isolates. if they test positive, johnson says he'll reveal it plans are what he calls living with the virus later this month. his leadership is still under pressure that the site is that showing more possible violations during the cobra. 19 locked down hope has more westminster . it was a big important, an eye catching announcement by the prime minister in the house of commons at the start of prime minister's questions when he confirmed his intention to lift the remaining covert restrictions when the house returns. on february, the 21st after half term recess, important because at the moment some 2000000 britons in self isolation following a positive covey test that would come to an end. and it was met with

a roar of approval by back bench tory m. p 's. some of whom, of course, are among the prime ministers, harshest critics having called for his resignation over the party gate affair. if you are cynically minded, you might suggest this was all part of a concerted effort to shore up his leadership, along with senior staffing changes inside downing street in recent days. and certainly, as much has been suggested by some in the scientific community who call the move in cautious at a time when a few 1000000 britons are unvaccinated and deaths are still hitting 300 or more on some days. well, if that is the case, then the prime minister may feel he has good reason. the latest bombshell photograph shows boris johnson sitting at a downing street desk in an office with an open bottle of per seco near by staff members in the room wearing christmas party decorations allegedly taken in december 2020. when office parties were strictly banned. well,
