vaccine research has denied any involvement. arthur more now this could i were correspondent in washington. good evening to you on what exactly are these allegations are we talking about espionage and theft or just as be enough. both here as you pointed out. if you did 29 or cozy bear are also known under the duke this organization related and affiliated to russian military and spy agencies or stands accused of not only spying but also trying to steal secrets in terms of corona virus research remember the wording there in this community from the brits the united states and canadian authorities that they targeted

allegedly organization so that doesn't mean just state players but also private companies and labs who are involved in covert 19 research and vaccine research for coronavirus yeah this announcement was made by the u.k. today in london has there been any reaction from the u.s. president. there's nothing coming from the white house so far you might remember that the president always prides himself with having a very good and special relationship to vladimir putin and to russia remember a few years back a press conference and right there week where the president managed to pin his own intelligence service cia against what mr putin said and at the time it was that russia as well as this organization. had nothing to do with spying on the democratic process and the elections here in 2016 it was very this this very

organization who stood alleged at the time to hack into the democratic d.n.c. their record national congress service at the time anyhow hard nothing from the president right now the n.s.a. came out with a statement saying that it stands the national security agency that is. stands ready as always ready to protect the integrity and to security of state secrets as well as research secrets from organizations against outside players like a.t.p. 8029 and. i mean this story tells us that there's definitely a global race to be the 1st to develop a vaccine. but if we were to take the competition the money out of the equation wouldn't it be more in the interest of global helps if science around the world were sharing their research and fostering better vaccine research that way.

you know i think you're right i mean you said it would should could and that's the problem here a little bit i think most of scientists and researchers involved in this reacher would agree but unforeseen doesn't work this way never probably work this way but there is a lot of money involved in this there's private companies big pharmaceutical companies smaller less venture capitalist state players government players countries interested in securing the best possible most effective vaccine against coronavirus and any other may be future virus threats which may translate into into all our lives and that's the problem so to get a leg up on this spying and then securing secrets from other countries is something what state players agencies it's just these succumb to chinese russia the u.s. is probably doing the same thing in one way or another so yeah there is no there is not all tourism here it's very true stefan's in months in washington tonight with

leader in one of his articles but you joel and his defense argue it's an unfair ruling because a high court had already found all these articles will and the turkeys constitution which guarantees press freedom that's good reached out 6 days court ruling is in breach of the constitution because it ignores the earlier ruling nobody to talk to you joe has already served a year in a turkish prison he says he was tortured there though ankara denies that use will up trees or lace one of germany's best known turkey correspondents who left the country he says he couldn't expect just to stay because the president had already condemned him. shots of the. president tied anyone had already publicly declared me a terrorist in a suit by myself i had family in isn't it that would have meant that he himself breaks the law by condemning me. that which is

a friendship will quote i look. triggered a crisis in germany's relations with turkey when he was jailed in his already criticised the slightest court ruling saying it sends a false signal for rights in turkey. spain today recorded its highest daily increase in corona virus infections in almost 2 months 580 confirmed new cases and the news came as the country paused to remember what it has lost since the pandemic began at a ceremony tribute was paid to the 10s of thousands of corona virus victims and the medical workers who have died. it's been a difficult time for this country king philippe and his wife mean that she said presided over the solemn and dignified ceremony for the 28000 spanish victims of the coronavirus. or usually get on showed what emotion and rest of
