in expectation of record breaking low temperature. here watching d w news still to come on the program more on the economic challenges that led many of iranians to protest against the government and security experts have discovered a major flaw in computer chips leaving them open to hacking could your device be at risk. all that more coming up in just a minute ben physical and has business i'm sorry kelly in for a land from all of us here at c w thanks for watching us and expect. the nation makea has no children which makes her feel worthless and incomplete.

in a society that expects them to be her children this is a burden many married childless women in niger suffer from. a wife is only fully accepted upon motherhood. a very personal film about the suffering of childless women in niger. fruitless tree starting january fourteenth on d. w. . at the. panic over the security of computers and mobile devices the discovery of a major floor in chips has experts trying to find a fix acas could be stealing a pos would send all those sensitive done. and a week ago. deadly unrest in iran underlines the growing anger over dashed hopes

and dreams of economic prosperity. i've been fizzling let's do business the scramble is on to find a fix for serious flaws in computer chips around the world the witness could affect billions of computers and smart phones experts i've spoken to say this could well involve everyone security researchers discovered the problem affecting computer processes built by intel and other chip makers some time ago now but the news has only just surfaced intel is still hush hush about it all will be joined in a moment by someone who knows exactly why but first here's what we know so far. the intel security flaw could allow hackers to access to passwords encryption keys and other sensitive data the newly announced vulnerability could affect every processor released in one thousand nine hundred. at the moment there's no way for you to detect a breach which leaves no trace international logfile some security experts are

calling it the worst flood ever found by the computer industry not least because the problem may be even bigger than initially reported. in a statement intel said recent reports that these exploits are caused by a bug or a flaw and are unique to intel products are incorrect based on the analysis to date many types of computing devices with many different vendors processors and operating systems are susceptible to these exploits. researchers who discovered the security gaps a computer is powered by a r. and a.m.d. are also affected a claim that a.m.d. has tonight software updates will be released to help protect against security gaps these could cause computers to run more slowly with some estimates indicating a dip of up to thirty percent. but intel says that ordinary users are likely to see a performance hit of no more than two percent. to raise

a lot from the tech magazine motherboard deutschland it reports on the intersection between technology and society let's start about this discovery itself because you've uncovered some quite interesting details about the research teams involved in uncovering these flaws in chips yeah it was three separate teams they discovered this this flaw and it's known since june two thousand and seventeen and they independently verify it first the two flaws one is called spector and the others called meltdown and this discovery could also mean that very well funded or capable threat agents could have uncovered that at the same time in the wild there is no way of knowing if this exploit has been used by anybody else so far because the locked out is not affected so you can't really say it has been exploited but hackers have zero vs lee from what you're telling me they've had a long time to exploit it if they've known about it what about the people at intel

who knew about it themselves well in tow and a couple of other tech companies have been secretly working to patch this thing but something very interesting just came out now which is the intel c.e.o. has sold his shares in november a seventeen or so as many shows as he could then came out today saying this is all perfectly normal while knowing about the security flaw for months and months ok this could turn out to be a real financial scandal or corporate scandal intel shares have already died overnight is this news has come out and he knew that and of course when are we going to get a fix if they've been working on this for months yeah is it going to take months many more. there are two flaws one of them is relatively easy to patch and there are already some fixes available but use a search should just sit tight and patch patch patch patch. stuff and the other one specter is much harder to execute but also much harder to patch and it basically dissolves the boundaries between programs so even as if one application is designed

perfectly and the other program isn't perfectly this bug enables the program to read out each other start and steal secrets basically this has not been patched so far people working on it i expect the first patches to be out in in about couple of days three or four days so it's basically not even enough just to change a password is not at all know this is a fundamental hardware design flaw it's not a software flaw it's so hardware buck so the design of the chips and these chips they go as far back as one thousand nine hundred five intell chips but also a n d even though they were denying it at first but is also affected basically every modern ship set in every device and every computer and every cloud storage tablet smartphone can hear fact that by cloud services such as the big ones google apple microsoft they have already patched and upload a suffer patches to this service if if you know patch what should people do that they should wait for patches and apart from that there the problem or the problem

with the panic about it is there isn't really a threat business model yet so people don't have to really go to through the trouble of hacking someone independently yet he's looking thank you very much for the information very interesting indeed. and moving on to iran now it's declared the end of deadly unrest there are fewer reports of demonstrations as government supporters take to the streets officials now trying to turn attention to addressing the economic concerns that fueled the protests when international sanctions on iran started lifting many iranians hopes their lives would improve and twenty fifteen foreign companies did invest some two billion dollars in iran foreign direct investment increased almost three and a half billion french energy giant to top it clinched the deal with billions with tehran to pump natural gas comic as page one renault plans there and german

companies are also in there it all adds up to a sixty five percent increase in foreign investment but the current wave of protests comes in no small part because many iranians feel the economic upswing bypassed them others fear the ties they were able to establish with the west may now unravel. so doctors general manager of term in charge of a primarily female team the tehran based company imports medical devices to supply hospitals and clinics that specializes with high quality products and sources them from european partners known for innovation and reliability. they're not looking to just sell a product and then just as you choose and not following the customer the fall of the customers make sure that they get trained because the believe if my customers happy with my for that and it's a happy customer it's going to bring more customers. would like to contribute

towards making iran into a medical tourism destination it's planned availability of state of the art technology to attract well off patients from foreign countries. it's part of iran's economic renewal following the lifting of international sanctions in two thousand and sixteen iranian businesses and erstwhile western partners reached out to each other hungry to pursue investment and trade opportunities but the economy is still struggling unemployment and corruption are rife inflation is running at near ten percent and the current armrest could scare off potential investors. took it reacted furiously on thursday to the u.s. fold conviction of a turkish banca the verdict came after an explosive new york trial over iran sanctions busting that implicated former turkish cabinet ministers and even president rich a better one on wednesday a jury found met a qana t.-a deputy c.e.o. of turkish blend found guilty of bank fraud and conspiracy in

a scheme that allowed iran to trade billions of dollars of oil and gas for a gold star witness testified everyone had given his blessing to the deal the turkish foreign ministry branded the trial as unfair and a shame of low oil prices are trading at a three year high due to concerns that iran's oil supply could be limited by the unrest there analysts say raney an output of over two million barrels a day is not presently under threat but political protests added to the uncertainty in the market right now the uptick comes as opec extends production caps in an effort to tighten the market let's talk about this with our financial correspondent neta by spaf who's in frankfurt and how much of this oil development is because of iran. well there's a big chunk of that all development now due to the situation in iraq because people

are not knowing how this is how the situation there will unfold and how that potentially might also impact the oil production and also the old exports from iran if iran is the second biggest oil producer among those opec members so it's a huge force in the market in if bad force might actually be disturbed that has will have an immediate impact on the oil market but for now prentiss up by well it's a flight of bed to stand right now trading somewhere about sixty eight dollars a barrel in levels not seen as you were saying early on since three years the main drivers are iran but also the cold weather in the states and overall all general better demand can you give us a bit of an idea of the twenty eighteen outlook for the oil price people you've spoken to. here it's very interesting how the mood actually swings very

rapidly on the commodity markets before everybody was talking about huge inventor is when it comes to oil and now people are sort of afraid that there could be supply constraints because inventor is going down and that also might build well for two thousand and eighteen the oil price many analysts are expecting that the oil price will keep on going are also now during the first quarter of two thousand and eighteen because the supporting driving forces will prevail in a device but thank you very much for the analysis from frankfurt. and i. see you again very soon here on.
