the, the, this is the w news. why from berlin? the head of a global cyber security firm issues and apology after a flawed software update disruption i to services world wide. the outage has caused chaos at airports, banks and hospitals in several countries. in israel and investigation is underway after a weird rhone attack, killed one person in injured several more in central television. around back with the rebels in yemen, have claimed responsibility for the stripe. and in spain, health authorities, a warning people to stay in doors, as the country is hit by a severe heat with

the unlike local welcome, global computer systems are slowly coming back online after a massive tech outage costs chaos and confusion around the world. from broadcasters to bank stock exchangers in airlines. the outage also affected health care systems with many hospitals forced to cancel surgeries, the head of the cyber security from which costs the crisis says he's deeply sorry for the disruptions which would trace back to a flawed software update. the so called blue screen of death. this dreaded error message indicates a complete system crash on the microsoft windows computer. and suddenly it's all over the globe. in airports, a supermarket,

even at disneyland, an update rolled down by cyber security from crowd striking has been linked to the outage. the unintentional disruption has caused cale simple hospitals around the world is currently in the middle of this microsoft outage, computers are block, we have the screen of death. we do have one camera phones that are i phones which were allowed to give medications on. but other than that, we don't have access to patient charts, and this is the 1st time you have to imagine that in the hospitals have, don't know which a patient is actually lying where, what, what medication he's receiving coming, what operation, his plan to this information is simply not available and then it needs to frugal. the cyber outage also disrupted global air travel, massive cues, and frustrated passengers, as thousands of flights were cancelled and tens of thousands delayed. i arrived at the airport and saw this long queue. the staff informed us that the system was down

and there was nothing they could do. no, we just had to stand and wait on people. but sounds like once they've been worrying, is that one company has such an impact on the global economy and the life of the planet that the, the, the ceo of that one company quickly issued an apology, were deeply sorry for the impact that we've caused to customers to travelers to anyone affected by this, including our company. so we know what the issue is, we're resolving and have resolved the issue. now it's recovering systems that are out there. but given the sheer scale of the impact, it is unclear just how long it will take to recover those systems. to get more answers on this story, let's cross to his friend happy. he is the lead for cyber security policy and resilience at interface. a european think tank specializing in information technology. he joins me now from berlin. welcome to dw, spend,

even though the situation has improved in the past 24 hours, much of the world is still suffering. the consequences of this mishap, as we speak. how long till things get back to normal in your opinion, as i think it can take quite some time the, some of the systems that can automatically be updated that will revert back to functional mode. some of the things need to be done manually. and some of the pages where it's difficult to access them, where it will take maybe days more weeks. and then on top of that, of course you asked the operational days, x cause work and but you have to work on all the backups that you have. so we're going to see like days and weeks of burning back to normal. i would say in the simplest terms possible, how could it routine software update go so wrong? well, the update was not the error free and it was tested before. busy it was pushed all

the computers gold. why something that's a pretty is done a process that shouldn't be done here. and that's why in the end of the day, they pushed all of the company pushed all of the update that was able to bring all the computers and what you have to know about i p secuity software is they are deeply rooted in the computer science model. privileges, and that's why they can cost of travel. so let's be really clear about this. what you're saying is essentially they didn't follow the normal procedures. well, as it looks right now, this should have never passed equality test. so you can assume that they didn't do the quality test or they didn't do it correctly. and there was a reference to this in our report, but the question bears repeating, how can it be that one company essentially has enough power to bring down so many of the world's computers? it's the stuff of hollywood movies. well, i wouldn't look at it like that. i would look at it like we did it like every single lives and everything runs of software and most of the software is done. and

i still use microsoft running, microsoft running a lot of different software that deep access, especially i to security software. and when this company's on the so many computers, when something goes wrong with the software, it would cost an arrow world like, but does not depend on this $1.00 software. i'll just click on any other i to security software. which likely to happen with this company. as well, the question um they're, they're facing, liability depends on the initial loss of the where they have to pay fines and everything. i think as of now, it really stands to reason that, that this company will survive it. but what's the damages will be within the days and weeks to unfold. uh, definitely a huge blow to their reputation and the trust that governments and companies have them the company. spend one more question for you. how do we ensure that this doesn't ever happen again?

i don't think i don't think you can do that. i mean we know that quality assurance is a huge carlton software update. if they haven't done it, there's nothing more you can do. if they don't photos dollars, you can find them good regulated. but in the end of the day, it can happen again and we was like, you see it happen, get it all that stuff. that is us friend, happy cyber security expert from berlin. we thank you very much for your time and most especially your perspective. thank you. a quick look now at some of the other stories making news around the world as we speak. bangladesh is government has imposed a nationwide curfew and deployed the army after days of student protests that have left dozens dead authorities in the capital doc or the epicenter of the violence of also banned all public gatherings. protesters have been marching for weeks to demand changes to a quarter system for government jobs. so, this according russia has sentence. wall street journal reporter evan goose go back
