traveling and large crowded convoys of buses are they taking individual measures when they're doing that? what's happening after the games, when people leave the stadiums, are they going into a crowded balls and puts to watch the matches? if this mixing is happening among people who are not fully vaccinated, and there is the presence of the virus, there will be cases. this problem isn't restricted to the u. k. finish or authority, say at least 300 fans were infected while following their national theme. mostly at that 2 matches instant petersburg that's contributed to a sharp rise in new cases at home. but despite these connections between euro 2020 and covey, the outbreaks you a for is pressing ahead with increased stadium capacity for the semi finals and final, at wembley. and politicians in several countries, a furious german interior minister, host they offer, accused the governing body of putting profits over public health issues.
1:04 pm
i think that you wafers position is utterly irresponsible. absolute for them to enter. but association should say, clearly we don't want it this way. and we're reducing the numbers of spectators at wembley on sunday, one group of fans will be celebrating their countries great sporting success. but without further restrictions in london, fears of a coven hangover will only rise. let's give off and dr. chris smith. he's a consultant here. ologist, university of cambridge, he also presents the naked scientists podcast. welcome to d. w. do share the w h o concerns about the, the euros potentially increasing covert infections across the content. the current of ours is a re spirit tree infection and it spreads by close contact with an infected person and an infected person who's susceptible to the infection. and any kind of contact
1:05 pm
between people will increase the risk of more cases. and so if you have math gathering, you will get more context between people and you will get more cases. but really, the question boils down to what level of risk are we willing to tolerate? and at what point will we regard ourselves a sufficiently safe that we will regard acts and events like this mass gatherings for football matches to be say? and really that's what it boils down to. and it's up to policy makers to come up with policies that they think a safe than the rest of us follow. it's not already down for the football association to come up with the rules. so let's, let's, let's look at that because you sort of bring me on to my next point that you're sitting that in the country with a high rate of vaccination, which is now seeing fewer kobe deaths. so you have a health secretary there who says that, given those circumstances, covey should not be treated like something like the the flu is that is he writes,
1:06 pm
in your opinion, will influence a result or spirit tree infection that makes a grand tour of the globe every year arriving in most countries in line with their winter and causing seasonal outbreaks. occasionally, it also causes pandemic. and then those pandemic turned into evolving seasonal outbreaks. after that, we have a surveillance program keeps knowing where flu is going around the world and then updates the vaccines. we have to make sure that those vaccines are still current and will work against the circulating strains of the flu. so in many respects it's a really good analog of where we see ourselves with the current of ours going forward. because this is a respiratory infection. it probably will become a seasonal infection. it will serge and winter and then disappear in summer for the same reason. the flu does, and it will evolve as it goes around the world. and as it evolves, it means that it may change in such a way that we have to update the vaccine. so i think regarding this as a flu like illness or base at the moment, causing us more of a headache than flu does, but in the future, it will probably be less of
1:07 pm
a headache than the annual flu search is probably a good way to go. we can use the learning we have from how we cope with flu and combat and control flu and apply that to current of ours going forward. and are we? yes, as a point with corona, virus vaccines where we can tweak it to take in the variance because we are seeing the variance and health authorities around the world are worried about these variances concern. the vaccines, fortunately, are very easy to update and change to reflect changes to the virus because of viruses change. and we had anticipated that this one would be no exception and would change over, mutate and it has done. luckily, the vaccines can be changed easily. what can't be done easily is to roll out those vaccines to the 1000000000 people on earth every time we want to update the vaccine . so really the needs to be a real push quickly now to catch up to get as many people protected as possible and drive down the amounts of viruses, circulating establishing
1:08 pm
a degree of immunity and protection in the population. and then we talk that up on perhaps an annual by annual policy, but 5 yearly basis, depending upon how immunity lost in response to vaccination, what the bars is doing to keep the most vulnerable people protected. but at the moment, the vaccines do work, they work incredibly well. and if you look at the, the way the curves a diverging on the graph between where we were in january with a certain level of cases translating into a predictable number of hospitalizations and deaths. that has now been broken, so we'll see very significant number of cases, but they are not translating into casualties. ok, good talking to that's very clear. thank you so much. smith consultant ologist at the university of cambridge. let's take a look at some of stores making a news around the world. now we'll start in south africa, where for the present, jacob summa is defining a court deadline to surrender to authority. it was found guilty of contempt last week for refusing to attend the hearing and conduction inquiry and sentence to 15

months in prison is appealing. at least one person has been killed dozens, engine after a massive explosion at a factory making foam and plastic pellets on the outskirts of bad car. dozens of homes would also damage with horses and all the evacuation of the area around the plan to meet the fears that leaking chemicals that cause more explosions to a house. one in assembly to draw up a new national constitution to replace the legal framework from the era of ministry dictated to peter say, the process was delayed as protested, clash with police on the streets of santiago. they're demanding freedom for people in prison during social unrest. 2 years ago, a criminal gang behind the latest massive ransomware attack is demanding $70000000.00 in crypto kind of say, this hack is exploited vulnerabilities in management software by u. s. i t f. casea attracted thousands of computers in at least 17 countries. most
1:10 pm
of the swedish grocery chain copes $800.00 stores were for to close. on friday, after the attack, a blocked access to its check. i was, i was security linking it to affiliate of the russian revel gas, which is best known for storing $11000000.00 from meat packet j b s. in may. we can take a closer look at this research upon the chem beula from d w. business who's been following the story, welcome to ponder. so what are these i must say about right evil is i always it revel. i think it's pronounced evil vivo. i prefer evil, but real good with what you say reboot. well, these are evil people holding hostage that companies would pay $70000000.00 to get back. well apparently, cuz they had said that 40 companies were targeted or where actually reached and this attack. and essentially what revival or rebel, whatever you wanna call it, has done is what they did,
1:11 pm
or the people affiliated with rebel. they took data from these companies encrypted it and now they are holding onto it. so basically they have inflammation that these companies might need for their, you know, regular runnings and operations. and they are holding onto it until they're a paid $70000000.00, which is basically the run phone. so they are holding onto this data. as you know, as like a ha station, right? okay, so, and this is, this is a big deal. so big in fact that you as president joe biden has weighed in on this. let's hear from him and come back to you. the fact is directly tell me a deep dive on what happened and i'll know better tomorrow. and if it is either with the knowledge of and or consequential pressure and we will respond to some serious problem. the jim brought to tell us more than about to the people
1:12 pm
behind this attack. well, it is said to be an affiliate of revel, which was involved in the colonial pipeline attack. and also the g, b, f one and in those both and bills run from where attacks the companies that were involved paid the run films. so obviously the next one which is much higher, significantly higher than the $11000000.00 that j b s paid would be of course the prize. and so that's why it is attractive, perhaps for these companies and gangs to get more, you know, as much as they can in terms of money and they are from russia, supposedly, at least in the 1st cases they were and experts i saying that it is a rush and gang affiliated with rebel that is involved in this attack. of course, it points to the methods used and also the payment be asking for a payment in bitcoin, which is similar to what happened about those $2.00 shooter tax and may as well with colonial pipeline early may and j b s. at the end of may, yet,
1:13 pm
let's talk about those because, i mean, when you mentioned the colonial pipeline that the j b. s. we had a whole city of municipalities at close down by the cyber attacks. are we seeing more of them and what is so why? well, obviously we rely heavily on computer infrastructure and software, and a lot of that software is in the cloud. in terms of the attack that we've seen, which is affected like 40 comes in 17 countries. what you have is essentially these companies are using a software that is provided by kids. they are, when these run some of these hackers, basically when they target certain vulnerabilities, that means they can, you know, reach a bigger group of people because of course, that or companies that software is not specific to one company. it's specific to more than one user. and that makes it easier. another another reason is, of course, the pandemic people working from home. and then of course vulnerabilities, even if you have like an anti virus software on your home computer. it's easy to
1:14 pm
exploit that because of course, the different networks that are involved as a result of that. so those are all vanderbilt is that are also happening as a result of the pandemic. ok, and she ponder shampoo from dataflow business. thank you will say in the us for our next story recovery cruise of resumed work, the size of a collapse, department tower and side florida. just hours after the part of the remaining structure was demolished. with tropical storm elsa approaching authorities decides to bring the demolition for 24 people. 24 bodies have been found search crews and still trying to locate 121. missing people. the width carefully placed explosives, demolition teams brought down what had remained of champlain tower style damaged and unstable. after last month's initial collapse, they were fears the structure might not withstand the winds of an oncoming tropical

1:18 pm
been placing full page political advert in some of europe's leading newspapers. today, the ad appeared in germany's best selling tabloid build. it accuses brussels of building its own super states that nobody authorized and lists hundreds proposals for the future of the european union. these include the strengthening of national parliaments and standing against it closely. european integration claims a you citizens must also be safe from what it calls the dangerous challenge of migration. number of newspapers say they refused to run it. let's get more from the w political correspondent hands. brant. welcome hunts a. why is victor all been doing this? well, i think one could say there's 2 reasons, an international sort of global per the reason and an internal domestic reason. you remember that just over a week ago there was a big international dispute concerning l g
1:19 pm
b t writes in germany and connection with the european championships and football hungry had just passed a law restricting l g b t writes and certain situations. and there was an international protest against that which also reflected on the you, on the european championships after that, victor alba has been international the under a lot of pressure. and now he is in a sense, hitting back against this international court criticism with these ads and european newspapers, the domestic reason concerns the fact that there will be elections early in the new year. early in 2022 in hungary, and the situation at the moment does not look good phobic to all gone and his ruling party. so he is trying to gonna support at home by presenting himself as a fighter against international criticism, against attacks from foreign countries. someone who stands up for hungary itself. where else in germany and europe of these ads appeared that has only as
1:20 pm
far as i know appeared and besides the largest tabloids in germany, but elsewhere in europe, it adds, appeared last week and major conservative newspapers in spain, for instance, in france and denmark. and also in the czech republic, one of them were identical with the same wording much there were several newspapers, for instance, also in sweden and in belgium, who refused to run these ads. and in fact, a paper in belgium ran an ad of its own promoting l g b, t, rise for promoting liberal values, which it said were the basis of european union togetherness as well. so there were a number of points in this ad does, does mr. o'brien have any support across the block for any of them but what he's saying in a sense is that european integration should be stopped. there is in fact a basis for this in the european basic treaties,
1:21 pm
according for the ever closer union. that's the key phrase victim all born and hungary do not want this. and in fact, he does have support, especially in eastern europe, countries such code and the czech republic, slovenia. and so here are on a similar line and one can say that they are right to the populace across europe. also in western europe in france, and here in germany. that which support such a line. but they are no close to being in control of the various countries. so in the end, it's sort of both, if you want to call that that's from eastern european members of the european union . thank you for that. the w political correspondent hands brand now to turkey, where president irvine is famously fond of mega building projects. and he's recently launched his biggest and boldest ones completely. if stumble can now well run for 45 kilometers parallel to the bus for a straight,
