alco region over the past 2 weeks. now, authorities in puerto rico say they're investigating what started a fire at a key electricity substation. 900000 customers were left in the dark because of this. several mayors declared a state of emergency and distributed ice and generators to those most in need. just before the blaze broke out, the private company. that's ron puerto rico electricity grid since last month reported a cyber attack, which has not yet been linked to the fire box. cyber attacks against major companies in the united states has been ramping up and it's disrupting people's everyday lives. colonial pipeline paid more than $4000000.00 worth of crypt currency to a criminal gang off the ransomware ta cultured fuel district distribution. and most of the east coast parking panic. buying in some states forties managed to recover around $2300000.00 worth of bitcoin. the world's largest meet producer j. b. s also

paid $11000000.00 in bitcoin to hack as after a cyber attack, halted operations in north america and australia threatening to disrupt food supplies and inflate prices. at least $18000000000.00 worth paid. pay to ransomware attacks last year, according to the security company. and the soft well joining us now for more in this, bob calvin, our oil and gas industry analyst. so these ransoms of being paid, but of course, all of this is happening in cyberspace. so will the criminals will, the perpetrators behind such attacks ever be caught? well, we don't know that at this point, but i can tell you this, the, my industry, the oil and gas industry is on high alert for cyber attacks from, from all angles. every company i know is, is, is being continuously probed for, for hacking and cybersecurity as could have become one of the main issues that

we've been facing since, especially since the colonial pipeline had got everybody's attention. it to our infrastructure is, is, is highly vulnerable to these kinds of attacks. so everyone's on high alert to, to prevent those from even happening. and why i mean, what is behind this rise in cyber attacks on critical infrastructure? i mean, i suppose if ransoms are being paid that's likely to, to fuel or to motivate further attacks. but what is the, why are these, why is this infrastructure being targeted particularly well clearly clearly money is what is one of the, the issues with all these, all the hacking has been going on, the cyber attacks that we've been experiencing. but i think the u. s. government for sure, i'm sure all the governments around the world trying to figure out if this is just

freelance criminals trying to, to, to extort money. or if this is a state sponsored cyber, it's actually state sponsored terrorism. you know, our infrastructure for energy is key to everything. if we don't have transportation, if we don't have communication, if we don't have power, then everything comes to a grinding halt. and the bad guys know that. and so that's why they're targeting this kind of infrastructure. and why the industry is moving so quickly to protect itself and protect the infrastructure. and we certainly seen that there has been some criticism or some can rhetoric back and forth between the us aimed at countries like china and russia, calling in on them to do more to prevent is sort of thing. but, but the latest attack that we were just talking about took place in puerto rico and it was 2 separate things, right? that was a fire, a key substation, but also there was a cyber attack. it's not care if these 2 things are linked. now, why would,

why puerto rico be targeted? well, this is the, this is a real conundrum. i think i've spent a lot of time, i've lived in work in puerto rico and have been there a lot over the last 45 years. in fact, the company i was working with there was actually had to evacuated staff during the hurricane, maria, and so i was down there 20182019 your most of the recovery, the power system there is extremely fragile through years of mismanagement by proper the, the puerto rican authority, but also because there's just not in the budget from the federal government to, to just to harden it. and so it's very, very fragile. the island is, is an interesting geologic situation because there's a mountain range that runs east and west down the middle of the island. most of the power generations on the south side where they can get supplies in but ship. but

most of the populations on the north side, so everything, all the power has to go over the mountain. that's why the system was so badly damaged or maria because maria destroyed that part of the island. i think in this particular case that this, this attack to me is very suspicious or the, the power outage. it only comes about a week or 10 days after luma has taken over operations from proper the government agency. my 1st reaction was that this was sabotage. i don't know that that's just that was just my reaction. that's what it kind of feels like. i don't know if the cyber attack caused it or was, is coincidental or just happened at the same time, or was somehow related. that's going to have to come from the investigation of course and was speaking the last time we spoke. i think it was about the colonial pipeline attack in the united states and panic buying and how it could affect energy prices. mean, obviously you can't compare the infrastructure in the resources of

a country like the united states with the island of puerto rico. and this is just when they're trying to vaccinate people against the krona virus. and those vaccines have to be kept, you know, they need the electricity to keep the vaccines cool. in order for them to work, you spend time living and working on the island. something like this could have a real mean lives could be lost as a result of this, this, it could have a humanitarian impact on people. it's debilitating. this. the power system in puerto rico is really hampers. everything in every kind of progress we try to make on the island. it hampers economic growth. it makes life miserable for many, many people. there were close to a 1000000 people without power before all this happened. that luma was trying to fix and the environmental, the environmental effects are great to almost half of the electricity there is generated. now by fuel oil. you know, they had coal plants that were damaged during the earthquakes of their where we are

2020. and so they've had to revert back to fuel oil, which is an old deal. we don't use fuel oil in the us at all anymore. the puerto rico probably 40 percent of it right now is being generated with, with oil. the real answer, there's natural gas, but that takes billions of dollars of investments in order to build gas far place, low generation. it's got to be supplemented by solar and by wind. because those 2 elements are very, very abundant in puerto rico and should be used much more than what they are now. thank you very much for joining us there from easton bob cavanaugh, be with you. united nations human rights chief is warning of the catastrophe, and me and mar, shall bachelor says civilians have been used as human shields in kaya state, where the military is shelling homes and churches forcing more than a 108000 people to flee. meanwhile, hundreds of people from to some of the villages have taken part in the late his

protest against the nation's military rulers, villages deliberately avoided main roads, to dodge confrontations with security forces. and he and mon government has brucely crank down on any descend since seizing power in a coup on february 1st health work as administering the polio vaccine and pakistan on high alert off the 2 police escorts were killed. officers were accompanying vaccinate is going door to door and northwest is if you have my done on wednesday, this is the 2nd such attack could take place this year on group c vaccine. as a conspiracy to sterilize children, now plans for a film depicting prime minister jacinta od dunn's response to the cry stretch. mosque attack has drawn criticism in new zealand. the film is reportedly set to focus on message of compassion after the mass murder of thousands of muslims by a white supremacist in 2019. but critique se focusing on the leader is completely

insensitive. glenn meyers, a muslim writer and human rights advocate from new zealand and parts of a group that created a petition to shut down the film showing just fine sky from york. you tell me more about why there is there. is this opposition to the film? yeah, i think, you know, firstly the news of the film in itself really came at a shock to many of us in the muslim community, despite the creators announcing that this was something that the muslim committee had been consulted on. so, you know, just reading through the main focus and what you just talked about before being i felt that centers the prime minister essentially was something that many of us have felt was insensitive not appropriate. and just absolutely

distasteful. not sure if you've had much of an opportunity to speak to the victims, relatives, and what they have to say. but i mean have a what is their opinion on this part of me? yeah, go ahead. are very much been in touch actually with some of many of the victims family directly on the ground. in fact, many of them have commented on our petitions to indicate why they are finding and behind this you know, it's quite clear that everybody is obviously objecting to care of such a thing. they are all off the view that you know, the muslim community and the victims and their families are the stories that should be centered. most importantly. but i think also just, you know, more than that, what really happened is that the phone itself is quite problematic. you know, it focuses on the response in itself, according to the film organize this and,

and really, i think there are many voices that are really now starting to actually see that beneath the initial days in the commendable actions from our prime minister. just done that actually the, her government has been, you know, not quite fulfilling after power on many of the problem says that her government said they wouldn't let her on giving this is indicative of a worldwide industry that often fails to understand the muslim experience or to train muslims often in a negative light or in a way that reinforces stereotypes and misconceptions. as to lily co does it just completely more than anything feeds into this white savior mentality complex. you know, that's what the rest of the world. so and in years really, and it's very much a different playing field when it comes to the struggles that the families and the

victims still face. i mean, many of the witnesses and the victims themselves inside that mosque still not receiving mental health support that day. so rightfully deserve there. i still many failings from the government perspective. yet here we have a film that glorifies the actions of a white woman and don't get me wrong. i don't know any leader around the world that would have responded to a tragedy that had been impacted against muslims. like the way our prime minister did in those days. but to be frank, that's her job. and you know, while the bomb made the really low internationally, i think the prime minister herself, while she's distance herself and that, that she has no involvement. you know, the reaction has been a total uproar and you will not stand for the same. she has to come out and, and denounce it and say that it's just tasteful because that's what we need right now in order to shut down this phone. and we,

we often see the tragic event like this, receiving worldwide attention when it happens, very little coverage of the aftermath of the consequences it has for those that have survived. you briefly mentioned that the mental health issues at the trauma. of course there is that the emotional loss of people of those who lost loved ones in that attack and then also the victims who have been who is probably still dealing with injuries. absolutely. this is a lifelong sustaining thing. we've always said in the days in the weeks following the attacks, that you know, how long will dissertation before you know, when christ church had been even new zealanders and the whole world as a whole, were shocked that such a thing could occur. but, you know, we question, how long was that attention for, was that you know what happens when we're no longer in the headlines?

and what we're seeing is turning a blind eye to the plate that is actually being faced right now by many of the victims. but yet the international depiction of us and muslims experiences in a place like new zealand. and just generally, we as a country is, is really, really different from what it is like on the reality and film like this is very problematic because it continues to feed into that narrative and continues to raise the voice of not just the victims. and the immediate family and the survivors of this atrocity but muslim communities more widely around the country as well. good. mar. thank you very much for joining us from new york. thank you. me. organizers of the pulitzer prize are honoring the teenager who recorded the murder of george floyd donnelly. fraser filmed his death at the hands of a police officer on her mobile phone footage taken last year. last year in may,

sparks, a public outcry, mass protest, and it also helped secure conviction. pulitzer is the highest prize in american journalism. and on friday old members awarded a special citation to miss fraser was in jordan has more on this now from washington. kayla surprises are perhaps the most prestigious in american print journalism. and this award for darnell of fraser. the 17 year old at the time, who used her cell phone to record the murder of george floyd. at the behest of derek show, then the former ra minneapolis police officer earned her a special citation essentially because she performed as a journalist. she recorded that moment and she said that she suffered great emotional trauma because of it. but she also was said recently that because of what she did,

it was possible for derek children to be convicted of george ford's murder and to be sent to prison for the rest of his life, a pending appeal. it's also worth noting that her hometown newspaper, the minneapolis star tribune, did when the breaking news prize for its coverage of george floyd's murder and of the immediate impact on the twin cities community in the state of minnesota. and indeed, nationwide, that is the 2nd highest ranking fuel at surprised. but number one prize went to the new york times for covering the other major story of 2020, here in the united states. and of course, around the world, the cobra pandemic. it's worth noting that most of the awards either dealt with the cobit pandemic, the institutional, as well as the personal impact or dealt with the very difficult question still of race relations here in the united states. more set to head for you on the news out

of europe and championships kickoff, and we'll have all the action from leah in for the with

me. ah ah, the now he think a traffic is bad where you are try living in the mega metropolis. that is lagos. nigeria is largest city is infamous, grinding to hold for hours at a time. the problem is become so bad, the government's pushing to get more people off the roads and on to the water from lagos, ahmed interest explains investment bank mc joker. tele moved to lake us from nigeria

capital 4 months ago to foss truck rise in her career. but she soon found she has to treat certain comforts of our previous office to realize her dream in nigeria as most popular city, it's access, i had a lot. then i'm supposed to be also doing, i'm young. so most of the time i just consider myself the weekend is almost, it's almost just which is saturday to flip it all like millions of lakers residents, she must endure long hours in traffic getting to and from work experts say the city's population continues to grow faster than any other in the country, passenger safety is a concern, and that's pushing many residents to buy their own cause. which are probably what you said, that is reliable that you saw what the doctor says, and then it will. without that we will contribute to how traffic problems in they

got it. well, as long as the population is high. last gosh, we pull out able to afford private cars that are more than 6000000 motor vehicle. yeah. and they got a 50 or more than 20000000 people, and that means traffic congestion, which perhaps what not surprisingly, can affect business. so the government here is in roughly in water front or in attempt to take some of the pressure off the little i de luca jetty, isaac albany to print 2 minutes to get to work by boat. that saved him 3 hours. if you were to take a bus on a normal day out for 30, what's that way? you will go see everybody's on your everybody's on, you know, so we living above the core, do i'm some what you are privileged to be. he had this by the increasing number, taking boat, the gridlock on leg us roads continue to defy solutions,

legal stuff. it was so many stuck in traffic nigeria as 1st traffic radio station tries to lighten the mood and provide regular updates on congestion. was staff receiving information from offices on the road when they give us information on august 4th, information. our job is to go, so really house to be forgiving. the power reduce that is also interactivity as drivers and commuters calling to report incidence. businesses in the city continue to count losses in labor hours and revenue. and with the population growing, there are fears, nigeria, commercial capital may soon reach breaking point decreased. i'll just see that lagos, nigeria, time raffle, the sport with leo. the news.

let's start with footballs. european championships, the biggest sporting events since the start of the pandemic has finally kicked off after a year's delay. 11 cities are hosting games and all started at the said, the olympic goal in rome, where italy, we're up against turkey in front of $15000.00 fans. it was a goal is the 1st half, but italy took control of the game after the break. they went in front thanks to an own goal from turkey's medic demerell. and then italy doubled their lead with a rebound goal from drake or geo immobile. and it wasn't long before he got another, make it 3 now and mixture of the victory, italy when extends their unbeaten run to 20 games and secure their status as one of the favorites for the trophy holds very early in the turn me tournament. but here's how group a looks after that. italy go top with 3 points with turkey at the bottom. the other 2 teams in the group, wales in switzerland, they play on saturday. supporters gathered up fan parks all over europe to watch

the opener, including in st. petersburg, russia, the city is set to host 7 games, including russia's 1st match of the tournament on saturday, against the world's top rank team belgium. and although fan numbers are limited at the euros football journalists, mark, doyle told us that staging the event is a victory in and of itself. is mentioned, there is just beforehand that does the stadiums use capacity. that was the big struggle, particularly in italy here. i mean, if you had asked me 2 or 3 months ago if roma this to stay with us, but not the numbers were still too high, and i mean it's difficult to find someone who hadn't been deeply attractive. but just in terms of the last, the last one had the virus last, you know, super to can obviously because their job, the rest of the business or whatever. so there was all these factors and because we've had a restriction on travel, we only just coming out on a job. coaches on the, i guess,

in the mind of the restriction. and only now can you, can you really move really around the place. so i mean that in itself just getting into the state and i think it's a massive g. okay. we're talking about, you know, what, this is a been a problem across, you're only in budapest likely to see the hassle state. and so it's something that you want to do the credit for pulling together 3 time winners. spain have sent in the army to vaccinate their players ahead of their opening game. medics administered the jobs at the teams training base in madrid. they needed special permission to do it, since under forty's are still not eligible for the shot to spanish players, including their captain, tested positive for coven 19, and were, and officials were worried that an outbreak could derail their campaign. spain's 1st matches against sweden on monday, and sybil. most of it is a brilliant, what are they going to say and we are privileged and lucky to get this vaccine. we have many questions, especially about the short term side effects. so close to the competition. this is the situation and we had to do it now. i hope we won't be affected for the game.

you will. spain has also given special permission for its athletes to be vaccinated ahead of the tokyo olympics with just $45.00 days to go until the much anticipated games organizers in japan have announced that $18000.00 olympic workers will be vaccinated starting next week. they include referees and volunteers who have close contact with athletes. a decision on whether domestic fans will be allowed in is expected to come in by the end of the month. all right, now it's something that has happened not too often in sport. rough on the doll has been knocked out of the french open. he was beaten by the world. number one, novak jock a bitch in the semi finals at roland garth nador, one. the 1st set, jock of which took the next 3 to in the spaniards west, the what would have been a 14 french open titles doc of it now has the chance to close within one grand slam

of nador and roger federer who each have 20 major title he will be up against almost the past and sundays final grease. his 5th seed was cruising against germany. alexander is very winning. the 1st 2 said 6 games to 3, but very far back and one the next 2 sets to take it into a deciding 5th. it looks like it could be a famous come back victory, but it wasn't meant to be that the past recovered to claim the victory on his 5th match point. the 22 year old is the 1st ever greek player to reach a grand slam single final. and the youngest man in the final, since an adult won the tropi in 2008. really happy with myself. i think you know, sean good discipline. so far. i've been progressive. there is the final which is exciting and i'm looking forward on living my entire

body on the court. well, i'm not a state anymore. we're a great mattress or something that i'm satisfied with. so today nothing. i lost, i'm not in the final was a good match. yeah. but in the day, i'm going to fly home tomorrow and there's nothing positive for me on that. let's switch over to cricket and new zealand open, batman, devon conway has once again impressed against england. after smashing a double century. and the 1st test he had 80 in the 2nd match to help his side take control. well, young also scored a 50 in zealand close day 222943. just 74 runs behind england with 7 wickets in hand. the winner of this match will claim the overall series victory already. that's it for me hearing though. hinge you back over to mary. i'm in london. thank you very much. leah. well, that concludes the news. al, but i'll be back in a moment with a full list of news for you. i'll see you couple of minutes. bye for now.

a me news, news. news. news on the counting the cost agenda inequality, it's always been there when it comes to employment. and now the pandemic made it worth. we've got the numbers on just out disproportionate job loss of the beam. and the discussion on what needs to happen to reverse these troubling trends. counting to come on out of the room. a city defined by military occupation. there's never

been an arab state. he with the capital of jerusalem. everyone is welcome, but the default structure that maintain the call on a project that's what we use was one of the founders of a settlement with this and the story of juice through the eyes of its own people, segregation, occupations discrimination, injustice. this is i thought, side in the front for century truth to them, a rock and a hard place analogy 0. on june 16th, the leaders of the united states and russia meet face to face the meditative trained relationship from ukraine to the jailing of a criminal critique. and i think climate change there is much will that bite? and putin stomach mark the warming of the coal p. join. now his era for all the days event, an in depth analysis with bang energy and change to every part of our universe. or small to continue

the change all around shape my technology and human ingenuity. we can make it work for you and your business. ah, guiding the world out of the corona virus pandemic. g 7 lead as promised. a 1000000000 vaccines for poor countries. but a criticise for not doing more. ah, hello, i'm mary. i'm new, my z in london. you're watching algae 0 also coming up on the program, disappearing before our eyes, new figures show the destruction of the amazon rain forest is accelerating.
