in the voice, the only way i can be to create my own the see their house standing stories, me. women in asia, this weekend on d. w. ah, the city of the news and these are top stories. you care prime minister bars johnson has laid out planned to end to cobra, $900.00 restrictions. that's the spice arrives in infection rates across the country, driven by the more contagious delta variance. the measures include scrapping rules on wearing losses and social distance thing and allowing people to go back to the office. the changes are due to take effect on july 19th. the officials nigeria say 140 children have been kidnapped by armed men in the

countries northwest. police say the gunman shot wildly and overpowered. security guards at the baptist boarding school. it's the latest in a wave of master duction. around 1000 students have been kidnapped in jerry anderson's december. havana is under alerts, off the tropical storm elsa maids 9 fall in cuba, bringing heavy rains and winds of nearly 100 kilometers per hour. flooding has been reported in some areas for cost to say the storm will next head to florida. this is the w news from berlin. that's much one website. d, w dot com. ah, oh, the the united states just celebrated its independence day holiday with fireworks and

crowds and with the corona buyers, the delta variant is spreading and almost exclusively among the and vaccinated. on this side of the atlantic, the u. k. is preparing to mark what he calls freedom day on july 19th, the last pandemic restrictions in england will be lifted. if only the government could simply decrease the delta variance away. if only there were enough vaccines in people's arms to stop the spread. but there aren't in on july 19th, there will be either on bring gulf and berlin. this is the day the me we must be honest with us so that if we can't reopen our society in the next few weeks, when will we be able to return? to notate we choose, comes with 0 i,

we must reconcile ourselves sadly to move deaths. but i want to get away from these restrictions as quickly as i possibly can, and allow people to make informed decisions about how to manage the virus. the also coming up, the u. s. government has admitted that many u. f. o sightings cannot be explained, and washington is not ruling out. the possibility that you f o's could be from aliens. so what are curious earth links to do is the truth. is it really out there? look like i can find a way for me to our viewers on p b. s. in the united states into all of you around the world. welcome. we begin the day with reasons of freedom on both sides of the atlantic. one more view did then

the other in the u. s. american celebrated their july 4th independence day on sunday in ways that were banned and considered life threatening. just one year ago, even president biden said that the country was celebrating its growing freedom from the corona virus. but that is only part of the story. the delta variant of the virus is spreading across the us and it is spreading almost exclusively among the non vaccinated. that translates into millions of vulnerable people. about 69 percent of americans have had at least one vaccine shot so far heard immunity. it remains a hope. now the reality, the number of new delta cases delta vary in cases in the u. k. looks even worse than in the us. 24000 new cases were reported on sunday. that's the highest daily number since early february hospitalizations and deaths have not increased and that is important here, but that could easily change. and yet today, prime minister, boars, johnson said, come july 19th,

there will be no more pandemic restrictions. his message, we will simply have to learn to live with this buyers. don't forget that we always did say that would be a, a 3rd wave and, and the projections where we are lined the roadmap where sadly more limitations and sadly more, more debt. so i think that's the question that people have to ask themselves. as i said earlier on is if we don't go ahead now when we clearly done so much with the vaccination program to to break the link between infection and, and, and death if we didn't go ahead. now when the summer fall break is coming up the, the school holidays or the advantages that that should give us in, in fighting the arson? the question is, when would we go ahead? was born johnson speaking earlier date i'm doing now by mohammed veneer. he's a biologist. at lancaster university in the u. k,

it's good to have you back on the program. let me start with some numbers here, mr. mooney, or do you know what percentage of people being infected with the delta various in the u. k. are not vaccinated? is it 99 percent as is the case in the us? yeah, i mean thanks for having me. back on the show was the majority of the cases in the u. k. if you look on to the sequence they belong, but more than 95 percent of those positive kids in the you know, on an average more than $24000.00 cases. i'd love to just about it. but at the moment, we don't really have to figure that and break the one down that the new cases are either in the vaccination or non vaccinated people. because that is really not the static ablation, according to our own internal, that's not going to find a community walk. we will be on the ballot of millions or in either

people who are vaccinated with a single doors or not vaccinated at all. we know the numbers, i mean we can ignore the numbers 24000 new cases on sunday. i think 27000 on this monday. i mean, do you see the euro 2020 football crowds reflected in these numbers? yes, absolutely. but that, you know. busy over the wanted whole year into the top, we have witness that congregation and gathering either in the indoor particularly. but in close vicinity are really the feeling that can lead to emergent infections. and particularly when we talk about the variance such as delta very and there's a lot more cognitive going around with more than alpha wearing in average was predominant in the u. k. before the, before that doesn't have any that, that was 50 percent more transmissible then on wearing it. so all in all of these

tale transmissible virus fighters with no quantity of the teacher that is required to in fact the people and in congregated places are really the very worrying moment for moving forward. and would certainly feel more cases as we move along with the course. you know, we're seeing more cases, the number of cases rise and yet hospitalizations and covered 1900 deaths in the u . k. are not rising. how do you explain their yes, absolutely. that is good, we say that the vaccine play is playing the role. we have seen a massive between the, in the hospitalization, but also on to the death back is really the indication that the vaccines are working. but that is the caveat in there is that person has to be double vaccinated this mean, all those people who have gone 1st lacking job need to go to 2nd guess. so that the production i think is possible. that would be great. but that also means that the risk is always there because even in the countries like pop up over compilation,

including children are not vaccinated, which means any gathering or any opening up at the, at the time when we have a very good at all, i would certainly be at the backside of you is really do you think that the u. k. would have this problem with the delta variant? if it had rolled out 1st in our, in a vaccines instead of the astrazeneca vaccine, would that have made a difference? well we know that most of the vaccines that we are. busy defined currently on effective against many readings, including delta variance. so i think at this moment, the important thing is that we maximize the company population at the level where we can achieve be heard community, or at least the community that did the not to break the transmission chain within the community. because the initial delta only for a few occasions, back in february, march, and from then all the communities that has gone high. and if we have

a really good back in photo with both those that we can certainly break this one down. now look what the dental reading it but also in the future reading because there will always be a certain level of protection sufficient to reduce costs when the prime minister says we will have to learn to live with this virus. what is he saying is the corona virus going to become endemic like the flu virus? well, that is a very dangerous, in some sense, because i don't really think that we will be able to live with this wider because this is a lot of low waters. and if we live with this virus, it will kill us. and the only way we can live with this, what is harmony, not conflict, and the hominy is that we keep all what we can control the infection while taking the break off. but the government credit seems to be changing. it's a take the break off and see what happens, which isn't really what most of the infraction. ok when the or is always mr. money, we appreciate your time and your insights tonight. thank you. thanks for having the for the past few weeks,

european football has been at the center of protests of laws designed to curtail the rights of l. g, b, t q. people. of those protest seem like a luxury when compared with what is happening in the former soviet republic of georgia at the moment. the o g b t q community there had planned to hold a pride march, but the march was cancelled after protests against it turned violent. protestors clash with police and activists locations across the capital city to bleaching, including parliament and the united nations representative. a group of demonstrators also attacked the offices of the l g b t q group, which tried to organize the march. it's opposed by leading figures in the georgian orthodox church. the prime minister of georgia also criticize the plan wide event as being an acceptable to march sections of georgia to sign or join. now by ross moves andries and he is a member of the european parliament for the german green party,

he's also been vocal in his support for the pride march in tbilisi. it's good to have you on the program with me tonight. i'd like to draw our viewers attention to what you posted earlier today on twitter. your tweet today said this, this is simply not acceptable fund ally and joseph burrell should call the georgia authorities to protect the tbilisi pride to protest for equality and human rights is a fundamental right if georgia wants to be european partner, they should act hash tag tbilisi pride 21. are you expecting the european union to do something here? well, 1st of all, let me say, thanks for having me and it's good that you are taking this up in your program. we what we could see today and simply see at the price is quite hurtful and painful, not just for me, but for the old l g

t i community across the whole world. and from my perspective, this is not just junction issue. it's about fundamental, right? and about protecting them, and this is why i think the european union needs to address this. what do you think the european union is going to do something? well, we could see a lot of embers just there from european states, but also from the u. s. calling the jobs authorities to act. and i think the next logical step would be to have a political involvement to have the national government, but also to have for europe in commission on it. and having some serious talk with the judge and authority and the government. the european commission, you say, last month you signed it open letter calling on george and authorities to protect tbilisi pride protesters and to ensure their universal right to freedom of expression in peaceful assembly. i noticed that those who signed with you from the

european parliament, they are either greens or social democrats. i didn't see any one from the conservative block in parliament. and isn't that where europe ian, commission, president ursula, the underlying feels most home that. i mean it makes me wonder how much support there is in brussels in strossberg really for what you'd like to see. well there is a lot of plot for l g b t i right? especially in the european parliament. i know a lot colleagues coming from the conservative family, all the liberals, some of the supporting goes issue. i don't know why it is time to let are we, we address to the georgia authorities last week, but still when it comes to protecting l. g, b, g, i, right worldwide. there is a lot of support. but my feeling is that we need more than just strong work. we need to see the european commission acting, and this is what, what we would like to see. now, when it comes to drugs or we can see that there has been lots of issues also in the

past, whenever the government and especially also the orthodox church, was discriminating or was discriminating. l g b, t i in georgia. and this is why i think it's time for politician to act, mister andres. and when you see these images of people being attacked in tbilisi, does it make you think that the l g b t q. community is the last minority in societies where it is still acceptable to, to discriminate against them. and even in some places to be openly violent against them. well, at least it's not acceptable to have l g, b, t i. people no matter where they are living at tech, just because of their sexuality because they want to protest peacefully in places like social,

but also other place in the world. the community is still facing a lot of struggles and they need to also lived there to know. and this is why i think it's important that we are taking those issues up in europe. when you look at what is happening, for example, in poland, hungary and then you consider what the situation is for gays and lesbians in russia . and now you see what's happening in tbilisi, georgia. do you, do you feel like you're finding a losing battle against the hate? no, i don't think so because the history had so many parts of the world and from germany, but also looking at the us of the parts of europe that the political 5 minority community had to take in the past, build a successful strategy and ultimately to support but there are still some countries where those issues fall into this why they need to. we also need some

support the community and also other minority communities in some countries so that they can live at the same freedom in the same freedom like we can live. and then ross was on trains and member of the european parliament for the german green party, mister andres, and please come back and talk with us again. we would like to follow the story and see what the european union. in fact does, we appreciate having you on the show tonight. thank you. i would appreciate it. thank you. the z hackers enforced hundreds of swedish supermarkets to close by mailing a cyber attack on their computer. systems are demanding $70000000.00 us dollars in crypto currency. in exchange for stolen data, the latest ransomware tax targeted a us company that provides services to some $40000.00 businesses around the world.

no customers allowed, and that's because hackers were able to penetrate the supermarket cash register system. there was out, hundreds of sweden, court doors were shot last weekend. it's the single biggest global one somewhere attack on record. the hack hit 40 companies in at least 17 countries. they all use software from the u. s. based services company gave a security expert suspect russian hackers, us present biden has ordered a probe into the attack. the fact is directly to tell the community gimme a deep dive on what happened and i'll know better tomorrow. and if it is either with the knowledge of and or consequence, russia, then we will respond. what is clear is that the hackers used case and software to hack the company's encrypted important data. and now they are demanding $70000000.00 encrypted currency to release it. the federation of german industry is

one such attacks are increasing. ransomware attacks rolls during the call, the 1900 pandemic, but at least 5 percent according to insurers. we will work as you in the pandemic have also been an easy target slackers for items in deeply optimization and level. private computers are a problem. they have anti virus software, but it doesn't offer sufficient protection. it will fall is cyber security experts are linking the attack on affiliate of the russian revel, gang known for extorting $11000000.00 from mit, packer and j. b. s. in may. the hole in case you missed it, believers in extra terrestrial visitors to earth marked world u. f. o day. this past weekend, the event is held to mark the day that some people believe a u. f o crashed at roswell, new mexico, back in 1947. this years, gathering dream crowns of enthusiasts to what they regard as the alien capital of

the world. this year, the anniversary had a little extra spies following the release of the us intelligence report on sightings of dozens of mysterious and identify flying objects. well, that report said there wasn't enough information available to attribute incidence to specific explanations. the u. s. government did not rule out the possibility of extra terrestrials, maybe our next guest can help us understand that maybe clear this up force mc west is a british american science writer. he's known as being a bunker of conspiracy theories. he joins me tonight from sacramento in the state of california. it's good to have you on the program tonight. i am assuming you were not in roswell, over the weekend. i was not there, but i think a few of my friends might have been, i know a lot of people in the community and it's a fairly tight knit community. and i actually know people who probably attended that there is a large community isn't there, and i'd like to take a look at this map that we found

a few f o sightings from the early 19 hundreds to current day. and what you notice is that the us, maybe we can pull the map, there's the map, the u. s. and the u. k. and a little bit of australia are where most sightings take place is. is there an explanation for that? i mean it's, it tells us that maybe x was rest, rails would seek out english speaking countries to land. i mean, how did you explain that? well, that particular map is actually from data collected by new fork. when you national, you are reporting organization, which is an american organization. so it's very centered upon reports in america. people in china are not going to send in their reports in new york. so it's kind of slanted towards the, the english speaking world and america and the u. k. in general. but that's not to say that there isn't a kind of a bias. we do have a very strong tradition of the u. f. i was here in the united states and to a certain degree in the u. k. so there's certainly

a very american flavor to the whole us story. the us government's report on you oppose it was released last month. you did not deny the existence of, of aliens or you have those, but i've been following your twitter feed. you've posted what could be evidence that could explain cases of u. f. o sightings that the government did not attempt to explain in the report. for example, you say, jet ploot or oil rig flavors could explain some sightings. all of this sounds very plausible, but why do you think the government shied away from these plausible explanations in this report? well 1st of all, we don't know what analysis for government is actually done. if you look at the report, they mention almost no details whatsoever. in this report. they gave one example where they determined something was a balloon, but in the rest they didn't tell us what they actually did. now a lot of the stuff dive investigated has been these videos that came out from the us navy. and these are generally fairly blurry. small videos and things that far

away and what people, what happened was people made very specific claims about them that they showed something that was novel, something new to physics, something that could only be really some kind of advanced technology like aliens. and i analyze these videos and i think i showed reasonably conclusively that they all had much more mundane explanations. however, i haven't actually specifically identified exactly what's behind each thing. just that is not some kind of advanced technology or alien craft. and because the u. s. government doesn't want to give you any details or very investigation because usually involves some kind of classified technology. they just don't tell you those details. so they probably come to a very similar conclusion to what i have if they really looked into them in any depths. you tweeted a page from a book by carl sagan that was written back in 1995. they got my attention and you highlighted what say good wrote about the intellectual health of americans. and he

says that americans are falling back into superstition in darkness because the technological powers controlling the world seems so great. and they are also so poorly understood by those who are supposed to represent our interest. e, you know, our politicians. is that what is happening in your opinion to our world when it comes to wanting to believe in us foes and not pushing more fervently for a scientific explanation as you do in your twitter feed? well, i think this is kind of an intractable problem, really not everybody is going to be very interested in science. so there was always be elements of the population who fall for the more kind of mystical explanations. but a lot of people who believe in us is fairly well versed in science. so it's not simply that i think the really is a preponderance of, of these people who actually want to believe they actually think that the alien

hypothesis is the best type of assess now they've arrived assets. and that basically trying to defend it. and i think what we're seeing here with is this, you know, report and other things that have come out recently is a little bit of that type of wanting to believe that people who are more credulous believers kind of intersecting with government. there are people who are in positions of power, like politicians, like send a harry receive sample who actually got these things actually rolling. and part of it was because they personally were people who were really interested in the us phenomena. they wanted an explanation. that's why this report was prepared, but the report leaves you with this, this feeling of i guess you're not satisfied with what the, the government or the u. s. military, the pentagon, whoever or, or offering. how do you explain that? how do you explain also that people want to believe so badly that there are extra terrestrials, like just

a very enticing solution to what's going on in the universe, people to see things in the sky and the idea that they might actually be aliens. i think just fills people with a great deal of excitement. people grow up reading science fiction, they see in the movies. and this is just, this is great explanation if you grew up with a notion that close encounters of the 3rd kind was a semi documentary about things that actually happened. then the idea that it's actually coming to fruition is kind of a validation for number of people, people believe and number a number of years that this might be happening and they feel like it's happening now. so the very enthusiastic but the report it doesn't realize aliens, but the reason it doesn't realize aliens is that it's literally impossible to realize aliens. something's an identified, you can't tell that it's not aliens because it's an identifier. so that's just really the media trying to put an alien spin on things. i've got 30 seconds. let me ask you, do you think that we're under the spell of the x files generation that we,

we want to believe? i think some people do want to believe that the evidence really is of that and that kind of kind of reaching a little bit at the moment. okay. make west very good talking with you. good to a voice of rational thinking into this debate. we don't get that all the time because we appreciate you joining us tonight. thank you. thank you very much. well, the day is almost done, but the conversation continues online. you'll find us on twitter either at the w news or you can follow me at brent golf tv and remember whatever happens between now and then tomorrow is another day we'll see you then everybody. ah, the news? the news?

the news, the news he's broke in a new time rec, making linda's legal history. he has no intention of stopping progress live and dusky. how did it all begin? and want me to see, let's try to take the kick off. next on d, w. nature's wonder is under threat. northern
