jerusalem. we really need to address the 2 aspects here that social media platforms in general to are lacking and falling behind and these 2 things are transparency of their policies insensitive and content on that platforms and accountability for actions such as as the actions that we've seen in the last 24 hours and in the last few days and mainly in relation to social media platforms concern miti with governments asking or putting requests to social media platforms to sense that contents and users of of this tend to these government policies and actions social media platforms are conferring with or has as you know an element of confirm a t. when one governments actually pressure them illegally in many you know contacts and
7:09 am
many national contacts to censor users and content without the knowledge of the individual users so i think this is worse social media platform needs to revisit their own actions and their own way of operating and i think the activists in the cases that you're doing a list have just highlighted and that effort was successful in making these social media platform giants you know going back and kind of like. stating the fact that we didn't need to do this it was a technical glitch. at least 55 people mostly schoolgirls have been killed in multiple blasts outside the school in the afghan capital kabul more than 150 others were injured president bashar vanny says the taliban was behind the attack but the armed group i saw rather i saw this to blame fellow contre for e has more from car when we should warn you

7:20 am
a senior research fellow at the university of southern queen learns institute for advanced engineering and space sciences joins us by skype from 21 bob good to have you with us so you know there was a lot of speculation and concern about this falling debris how dangerous is falling debris. yeah it's a really good question short answer is no one knows large bases can reach the ground but it doesn't happen too often and certainly not really we're in populated areas today. how big were the pieces that riggin to all of that i know in this case they landed in the ocean so it probably wasn't too much of a concern. once again there's a lot of uncertainty around that so the main base that entered the atmosphere was about 20 tons and 30 meters long so that was certainly the single piece that
7:21 am
entered the atmosphere once it entered the atmosphere it would have broken up into many smaller pieces previously and one match 5 b. is being reported to have dropped a piece that was 12 meters long so you could imagine if there were people around that it would be dangerous but again it landed in the ocean and that's where most of the space debris doesn't back and land. is it not possible to better predict all model where the space debris is going to fall this is very dependent on the launch of all that of what's happening so this chinese long match is one of the 1st rockets and exactly the 2nd of its type it's being launched by the main stage of the rockets at a very large component actually when autumn so this means it's all getting around the earth and that's what we've been tracking for the previous few days normally these rockets would be disposed of in a manner that means they drop into the ocean surely quickly after the launch and don't go into an uncontrollable that like this one well that's interesting why did china then if we know decide to launch such
7:22 am
a large component into orbit rather than as you said keep it over. well i don't really know it's a performance thing. by launching the singular when the set up they've got they can put more mass into orbit so the actual space station about launching their own to get more of that into orbit corrales a cost both in mass and dollars and the result is of course that we have this one piece left over afterwards is this a general trend where you think you know economics of. of space technology is going. no i don't think so so for example the work space x. are of course really lending everything so they can reuse it and that seems to me like the international global trend that's happening the single use is not really
7:23 am
seen anywhere else outside of china so hopefully it won't be continuing in this line all right thanks so much good to get your thoughts on that thank you very much top us fuel pipeline operator colonial says it's shot its entire network after a cyber attack the company's knighthood transports 2 and a half 1000000 barrels of fuel today through almost 9000 kilometers of pipes across the u.s. colonial says its it took its systems offline to contain what it called a threat the phone hasn't said when operations will resume but it's launched an investigation into the attack jodi recipe is chief executive of global cyber risk in washington she says more u.s. companies are being hit with cyber attacks has become more sophisticated the officials have initially concluded this had something to do with eastern european cyber gangs that of course nation states act and cooperate with these criminals
7:24 am
we don't know yet if the nation state is involved but it's a serious and at the track that it cost to shut down its entire pipeline system. and i'm sure part of that reason is because when you don't know what's happening within its gate a system like this there could be a very serious disruption or perhaps the perpetrators could actually begin controlling the pipeline so shutting it down until they can determine what is going on i'm sure is part of this but the other part they just say this assist occasion of the ransomware and how far it has spread through the system it's not really known right now so they have sophisticated tools and they have now. made these ransomware checks so they're very multi-pronged attacks they can come in and they can look for your backup data delete the backup data they can correct data they can excell trade a large amount of data very in
7:25 am
a very stealth mode and then they can start encrypting data then they can demand a ransom to get a key to decrypt the data or also start demanding extortion payments for them to give you the data they excell traded back or at least to hear they will not post on the internet or send it to customers so this is probably a very complicated attack most of them recently have been and companies are really struggling with how to respond to them it's crippling them. now the death toll from a brazilian raid in rio de janiero has risen to $29.00 families of started burying those killed during the operation on 1st day the action targeted suspected drug traffickers one of the city slums relatives are calling for justice saying their loved ones were victims of police brutality police denied carrying out the exit queue sions and say they acted in self defense you don't get the best. i

7:29 am
have to change their minds rather than rather than in like the people i bring people together so you would have to have to change their entrenched positions which might be my. prime minister boris johnson has consistently ruled out a 2nd referendum the 1st in 2014 was lost by a 10 point margin some think he believes should have put the issue to bed for a generation. but then brix it happened which scotland voted against by a large margin in 2016 being taken out of the e.u. against their will as many see it as reinvigorated the drive to leave the united kingdom what it all serves to demonstrate this election intervening event since 2014 of the declining influence of unionist parties scottish labor look in services is just how divided this country now is split pretty much right down the middle there may well be a pass to a 2nd referendum now but still no way of predicting the outcome if it happens and
