It is very sad but it seems that details of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine have been hacked from the servers of the European Medicines Agency.  They have not said yet who is responsible and whether this will affect the vaccine in future.  But there have been a series of cyber attacks on different agencies developing the vaccines and in the supply of the vaccine.  They say it is not random hackers, it is the actions of a country which is trying to disrupt something which can save world lives.  Sad.
Arguments in USA over Facebook.  They say it is too big.  Facebook owns Instagram and WhatsApp.  US Government is trying to take legal action against Facebook.  They say it was illegal to buy up smaller local businesses.  They want to break up Facebook and make it into smaller companies.
Australia still has a refugee problem.  In 2013, Australia said that refugees who come in boats would not be allowed in.  So when people tried they refused them and put them in camps in islands away from Australia.  Most of them are seeking asylum.  Seven years later, people are still kept in the camps and not allowed into Australia.  About 1,000 were allowed in for medical treatment or to help a sick person, but then they are kept in other camps.  They are trying to settle but are told they can be sent back at any time.  It is not a good story and Australia has not offered a solution.
