totally secure banks are privilege a target for both state sponsored august and also cyber criminal gangs. and talk 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 breach into the talk and they talk. you must also consider the initial, they say doctors like russia was, are where he said, and usually have multiple the are the exploits in the us. and for the reason, the friends from the attacks is not seen of us as a key rush of escalating tensions by planning more military exercises and bellow. ruth drills are planned for thursday. russia says it's training to repel any attack on its borders or that celebrate. but it comes as the pentagon says moscow been

deploy more troops, so it borders with the crane. now the 1st called voice coming u. s. military equipment of arrived in romania for a 1000 american troops. i had it in the coming days of l. join $900.00 service personnel already stationed, that is part of an additional true deployment that president biden orders. now there's been an attack called the interim at libyan prime ministers. convoy in the capital tripoli of the hammond. the bay was returning home at the time when his call was find a pump, but he escaped of hurts. now the incident comes a day before libya's house of representatives is due to hold a session on choosing a new prime minister. ah, counted as prime minister as cold a growing protest movement against crone of iris 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 con boyle, so continues to good luck, the canadian capital for 2nd week. as john 100 reports on the american side of the busiest land crossing between the u. s. and canada, not a wheel is turning. traffic on the ambassador 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 say they'll keep it up until vaccine mandates and other covert 19 restrictions are abolished on both sides of the border in a heated exchange in canada, parliament, time minister, just to to go and says, canada won't be bullied. you can't end a pandemic with blockades. you can't end a panoramic by decreeing you can even ended by legislation. you

need to ended with science, you need. and oh, and even as canadians are tired and impatient for it 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. you know, domino effect when to stop added up with these guys. to save each day, hundreds of millions of dollars and 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. will have to be resolved one way or the other. not saying,

i just suggest you know, better and rams and, and police officers that may not be the solution. but there has to be a resolution to get the pricing on impact on the united states and canada as the stand off. whereas on it remains to be seen whether the 1st to lose patients will be the protesting truckers or police john henry and al jazeera on the u. s. canadian border. bessler money is a professor at the university of waterloo. she says the truck of the wrong be taking credit for the evening of restrictions in canada. we're seeing the peak of alma crohn that went through canada mostly throughout january and we are seeing restrictions being lifted every day throughout the country. and so the timing is there to sequence and removing some of these restrictions, but indeed you're seeing these, these truck convoys taking a lot of credit and that is very, very dangerous. i think it sends a signal to, to many that indeed french movements and occupying public places like they are

throughout auto today and many other, you know, junction points. and it works. and that's really a very sad testament to wait the way things should happen. and particularly politics, it's really interesting because, you know, the vast majority of canadians, of course, support restrictions in a sense that they're very much in supportive vaccines. much of those in terms of the truck or convoy and the movement are vehemently against vaccines. so very much the messaging that we're seeing coming from these convoys an occupation groups don't match the reality of most canadians, but that's not to say that canadians are tired. everybody's tired of coven, let's be real. and there are restrictions are very much limiting or everyday life. so there is, if you will, and you know, absolute, a support for the fact that we want these restrictions to be released and relieved as media, you know, as soon as possible. but i do think that there is far more support for prudence here and not for the messaging that's coming out of the convoys. the repulse, a similar approach has called voice plans in the u. s. white house press secretary

gen sac. he says, washington, his closely monitoring situation. i'm working with canadian officials, ambassador bridges, candidates, 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 advisor convened a meeting just today. in the united states, a growing number of democrat lead states are rolling back face mask mandates. on wednesday, the governor of new york state said its indoor math policy for businesses would not be renewed when it expires on thursday. and the state of illinois and massachuset say the bell and some mask requirements by the end of the month. i must monday have be they help political issue with state cities and schools all using a range of policy shepherd. townslee has more for washington,

dc. it's about signs. it's also a matter of public health policy. the metrics, the, the centers for disease control uses the federal organization here in d. c is rates of transmission. that's what they're looking at when they decide on their recommendations for masking mandates. and 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 monday to then she points to, you know, around the 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, with these statistics because of all microns trans admissibility, there isn't that 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 a lacrosse? what we're looking at now is a debate about the use of those metrics. it's perhaps 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, there's a real worry among some public health officials there is that when on the chronic spreading, it's such a right even when you're wearing mosques because it's producing so much virus that then people are going to not really believe much in my city. most well still had hail and al jazeera, we won't our racism. we won't tolerate discrimination if the head of the national football league admit that falling short when it comes to racial diversity. do better. also police and indonesia being condemned for cracking down on villages. fighting to stay there, likelihood story after the break. ah,
