europe help heal the wounds of covert 900 for more on that let's go to our brussel to brussels our correspondent barbara visa barbara all significant e.u. leaders were at the memorial in madrid today what's the sign brussels is trying to send to madrid. they really desperately are trying to cya to send a sign of solidarity because the european union failed in march when the crisis began when the demick slowly begin to spread many member states turned their back to the neighbors this their borders they hoarded medical equipment they hoarded pharmaceuticals so it was not good they had a really bad beginning of the crisis and then later in april they sort of got into the trucks and now they're really trying to change the image because not only in italy also in spain there are many people who said after that experience what is europe really doing for us now spain is supposed to have around 80000000000
1:05 pm
euros out of this recovery fund that could be a much needed economic boost at least for the country that is pretty much on its knees at the moment. as you mentioned the special summit among other things the corona aid fund starts tomorrow how much help can spend expect in relation to other uses also suffering on the crown of spain would yet abstain and that's the astonishing thing would really be the biggest beneficiary off off this fund it's all goes according to plan we don't know this because we know there are tremendous resistances from the frugal for the northern countries who don't want the fund or who want to really burden it was very strict regulation and control so spain would get a big chunk of the money and looking at the economical economic situation in the country i mean the e.u. has forecast and spain and especially communes going to shrink 11 percent this year
1:06 pm
this is a big hit the debt burden on the country would rise above the 100 percent marker which is also sort of really going into the red so the spanish government is in dire need of help and the. trying to provided but whether it all goes according to plan we don't know yet we will see it's going to be a hard 2 days at least in brussels until all this is figured out and agreed upon you said you expecting days negotiating this special summit so you expect rather discord than unity and who are the main opponents. there's going to be tremendous discord i mean there's going to be put it bluntly i mean there's going to be the usual haggling is going to be blackmailed is so going to be all the dark political art that brussels knows so well from these events because when you know the talk start about money and this event like huge amounts of money
1:07 pm
then all friendships are forgotten and nastiness really comes in so i'm going to merkel who's the president off the council at the moment is going to have her hands full keeping things together the northern countries object to spending so much money to giving the money is grants they want strict controls the eastern european countries are one things for themselves poland for instance it was hardly hit by corona and is supposed to be the 3rd biggest beneficiary of the fund there's going to be opposition against that hungary will blackmail everybody else as per usual so everything is going to be just horrible and catastrophic till hopefully after $12.00 or 3 days of negotiations until america can emerge as a winner and have signed agreement in her hands are not we shall see. america clearly has her work cut out there thank you very much barbara bizzle in brussels.

a massive hack that people into making bitcoin donations affected some of the network's most high profile accounts including those of former u.s. president barack obama and a practical venture candidate joe biden microsoft founder bill gates and firms including apple and twitter is investigating the matter and has called it a major security breach it says them access targeted some of its employees who have access to its internal system. dollars for further into this and for that we're joined by sven happy's director for international cyber security policy at the think tank shift photo here in berlin he's works it works with various governments on cyber security issues when the question everyone is asking is my twitter account safe. well it is a safe and well as it was before because the problem was is wasn't really a heck of a reach as far as we know was the employees of twitter helped outsiders and
1:22 pm
criminals to make money out of it so what twitter has to do is not only to change some of the technology but also their processes procedures and international structure which might take a bit longer. but some huge names were hacked the encoding joe biden what does this do to twitter's credibility and reputation as a way for petitions to communicate with voters. i mean definitely on the run up to the presidential elections i think allotted for the reputation of twitter but the. as far as we know right now through the help of the employees the insiders in twitter would have had access to all the accounts on twitter if they wanted to so they chose only certain high profile ones but they would have had access to every account they wanted to so who do you think was likely you mention criminals well who do is likely behind this attack on you exclude political actors. well you can never really exclude them but if you look at it and invoke ockham's razor theory which is a simple solution as most probably the most likely one is they basically use high
