meanwhile on wednesday night leverkusen put on a dominant performance away at cologne winning 4 nil a free kick in the 8th minute got the party started with mitchell visor driving home a shot to open the scoring sebastian bar and i was headed clearance flew straight to the foot of visor and put leverkusen on talked to state. i did have your business with monica jones is up next it's a church. why did this person. there are.

laws that can be done to. make up your mind. cyber attacks are on the rise the u.s. has issued an emergency warning after a string of hacking attacks on government agencies and multiple companies was discovered we talked to a cyber experts to find out more also coming up list the. hot seat of electric vehicles right now china. holds the biggest market share here but europe is

determined to catch on. and argentina's economic ailments the list is long and the latest numbers die out we'll look into ways out of the price. come to someone who could jones and glenn good to have you with us the u.s. government acknowledged a major hacking campaign against multiple agencies including homeland security and the state department at the center of the attack is a private u.s. software company so love wins or the threat of cyber attacks is big and small is growing cybersecurity for mcafee expects for one global cost of hack attacks to reach $1.00 trillion dollars this year and that's a rise of 50 percent in just 2 years google says it had to block between 101-2000 government sponsored potential cyber attacks every quarter this year ensure alliances the biggest threats come from data breaches attacks interrupting business

and ransomware where hakas lock uses out of their own files is aside from the attacks themselves companies driscol of huge regulatory penalties and private litigation if they don't protect themselves from hackers well for more i'm joined now by. head of international cyber security policy at s. and d. that is a nonprofit sick tank working on current political and social challenges posed by new technologies so he's just the man to talk to right now good to have you with us so the coronavirus pandemic we've been hearing the whole year is actually boosting digitalisation which means more people than ever are using the internet that must be paradise for hackers. yeah that's what we also saw but the current statistics show that for germany for example there's only been a marginal increase in the attacks. but even those of course people are using less secure devices companies were forced to adapt to remote offers very fast and of

course where you work fast you make mistakes and that might show actually in next year's statistics that's true and what really bothers me is when we hear that the most attacks on government. what do we know about that. well you could actually look at it as a modern spy game so every almost every government in the world wants to continue that game so there's very little discouragement of other governments to stop doing it if they go overboard if they do something too serious and they might be reprimanded but other than that most governments want to keep the ball rolling they want to conduct their own cyber espionage operations so they they don't really want to deter other governments from doing that but serious threat right now that we see is actually cyber crime which cost billions and billions of damages and we don't hear a lot about it because it's less sexy then saying oh we had the government to parliament . but it was a lot of money of course and what puzzles me is i mean for years and i don't know anyone who doesn't have an. program installed and keeps updating it as well doesn't

do any good it seems. well if we talk about companies the security infrastructure gets very complex but for us as a single user. virus it's just the basics you need backups which are hopefully disconnected from your computer might even use back ups if you have to you need to enable to talk to authentication where you don't need to password and username but also because if you get sent to your device to make it more secure your accounts at facebook or whatever and you need to use strong passwords and you need to be aware of what you're clicking even if they only if you do all these things then you have a very easy 80 percent or more to. get through to breaches and. then having just very briefly how well protected do you feel. depends on what we're looking at again socrates i feel ok get nation state it was not so much when her pick their head of international cyber security policy it s. and the thank you so much for your time this morning thank you. and now to

battery makes up a 3rd of a car's value the e.u. has been asleep at the wheel now it's responding with billions of euros in economic development aid 3 years ago but 3 production system in europe was non-existent and i think it was very clear that we will very sore no not import only the batteries but the if you want change the course you will very soon be importing elec the cars so it would be really a danger for the whole european car industry. not fold once mass production here to begin in 2021 and a further plant is in the planning stage other companies are also lining up for a piece of the action the e.u.'s to be self-sufficient in battery production in 5 years time or in the mean of this transformation or revolution the way you like to look at it and it's very very exciting and it's also exciting to see europe taking a leading role here where china has been kind of dominant up to now but that europe
