the future wars w richard water explores evolution of digital warfare, making military law more efficient, deadly. those algorithms survive interest scenarios. as future wars starts june 10th, w the global authority is landa, very. the blows in the fight against online crime and international state has seen hundreds of arrests worldwide after criminals were tricked into using an app run by the f b i plus the authorities in the u. s. say they've closed back most of the money paid by colonial pipeline joining a ransomware attack. coming up,

you're paying firms operating in china. say that be down to the country. swift recovery from the found demik. however, level politics means there's a sense, fast trouble could be on the way to be a business on rob watson berlin, welcome to the program. police have dealt a huge blow to global organized crime, arresting over 800 people in an international sting involving encrypted phones during the joint action by the authorities in the u. s. and australia, criminal gangs were tricked into using a messing messaging app that was being secretly run by the f. b. i. arrests were made in more than a dozen countries and drugs, weapons luxury vehicles in cash c without news. swiftly followed another victory in the fight against criminals, lurking online. the us justice department says it's recovered most of the ransom paid by colonial pipeline when it was hit by

a cyber attack last month. long lines outside gas stations, up and down the east coast. a consequence of a hack on colonial pipeline. the operator of the largest gasoline pipeline in the united states. the russian cyber criminals called themselves dark side and used a ransomware attack to gain access to colonial data, and then demanded 75 bit coins to release it. about $4400000.00. the company ended up paying and investigators have recovered a large part of the ransom about 64 bit points worth based on our investigation into dark side and incredible work with other u. s. government partners. we identified a virtual currency wallet that the dark side actors used to collect the payment from a victim. using law enforcement authorities, victim funds were seized from that wallet, preventing dark side actors from using. cyber attacks are on the rise just

a few days ago. the world's largest neat packers j b. s. fell victim to a ransomware attack. the company was forced to shut down meat factories in north america and australia. according to cyber intelligence company group, i b in 2020. the number of ransomware attacks increased by 150 percent compared to the previous year. and new record is expected this year. and let's discuss this further with isabelle, who is a cybersecurity specialist of your p and school. the management and technology. thanks for joining is the fact that in this case, to investigate, investigators did manage to recover these bitcoin. that's a big deal for the fight against ransomware, isn't it? yes, that is indeed a big deal. i think it will send signal to other ransomware, cyber crime groups, and we can declare the success for us investigators. the us investigators the f b,

i see the big coin from a wallet of the dark side runs were group which was responsible for this. ransomware attack on colonial. and the wallet is basically a piece of software that you can use to manage the coins. and also provides and anonymous address from which to send and receive bitcoin. so the f b, i was able to trace these addresses this wallet through a maze of 23 different electronics to currency accounts which belong to that group . and so in that sense that we'll send a clear signal, but we can also see that the bind administration has really put this issue of ransomware as a top priority onto the u. s. political agenda. yes, the i've been busy hasn't it's we've also been hearing about the sting bio authorities worldwide. you manage the trick criminals into using an f b. i run messaging up all we getting better at tackling criminals online?

yes, so the other operation that you also briefly mentioned, the operation of the f b i and the currently federal police forces running this encrypted and allegedly secure app called and it is spectacular. it is a different kind of operation. again, 5 a crime. so i think what we can see is cyber crime is becoming an increasingly huge challenge actually for our economy. it's going to cost around $10.00 trillion dollars annually by 2025 according to estimates. and so in that sense, long foresman agencies really need to step up the game. it's kind of like a cat and mouse game because criminal become more sophisticated. so law enforcement agencies need to become more sophisticated to, to keep up. and the operations that we have seen today are just 2

examples actually have been other examples in recent years of you know, countries, law enforcement agencies cooperating around the world, also coordinated through international bodies like europe or interpol to take down dark market places that fell illegal goods like drugs or also to disrupt cyber crime services such as the image tests take down in the beginning of this year actually. so we can see that in law enforcement is getting better, but of course, cyber criminals will probably also become more sophisticated. so this is not caffeine mouse, like you say, is from the european school for management and technology. thanks a lot of your time. thank you. now, research suggests european businesses are feeling increasingly up, be about operating in china, because the country bounce back from the pandemic,

quicker than other markets companies. bottom lines were not as badly affected as initially anticipated relate to european business in china. confidence survey shows optimism is high there also preparing for potential storms on the horizon. as the pandemic kept chinese consumers from traveling, those who had money to spend did just that. and many european companies profited from retailers to carmakers. far from buckling under the crisis. a clear majority of the 585 respondents of the european business in china. business confidence survey reported positive earnings. 14 percent of those surveyed broke even and only 13 percent saw losses. but even as the bottom line in china appears safe for now, growing e u, china tensions could threaten business. last month, the parliament throws ratification of an investment deal with china originally

approved in december, after beijing refused to draw retaliatory sanctions on u officials and other figures. many china observers in europe urge continued scrutiny. i think that europeans, by and large, are quite still quite naive when it comes to china. i think the situation is gotten better, but i think your opinions hadn't looked too closely at china. they've sort of assumed that they understood what was going on, but it's been a very shallow impression really about doing business, for example, and not about taking seriously the government political developments in china. that the chinese government self means extremely seriously. and i think that you said sort of re gear itself a little bit to focus more in that still the numbers show european companies are more committed to the chinese market than ever with only 9 percent of those surveyed saying they're considering shifting investments out of the country a 10 year low in the studies history. political developments,

notwithstanding. european firms are staying firmly point a speak to charlotte roller from the european chamber of commerce. china compiled this report. the feeling is very different this time compared to a year ago isn't yes, it is indeed actually last year we stated that we were navigating in the dark and eventually we navigated this darkness and the revenues are decreasing. so the numbers are increasingly all actually surprisingly good. compared to what we would have expected. so 42 percent of our members reform increase in revenue. but then we also some changes. and those are the most noticeable one. we companies willing to further or fully on shows our supply chains and companies strengthening our positions in jason's and doing so due to an increasingly politicized business environment. you to show politic contentions that are increasing and makes

a risk of disrupting supply chains or operations. and all the know what doesn't change is the tradition of topics. we are the market access or level playing field . yeah, you took this changing political business environment increasingly politicize things the way it was put in the report. what form is that taking in terms of its effect on businesses? well actually we had the impulse and the recent exam. so you china sanctions and the survey that we fell from jointly with all off and rolling berrago was done before the sanctions. there were also them, it was also them before actually the attack against you retail goes over for favor come sounds shown. so it's likely that the number would be higher today. so that's correct. early 40 it was having an a one percent. yes. for syncing increase, but it decides environment shit. so it could be pushing on to sort of more than

half, maybe by now, but was the idea tangible in the right? so it was the tangible impact, the businesses feel when a very politicized environment actually the so in terms of business, we had no report of changes right now. so actually we have the very visible sanctions and that's much extensions. but we had also the impact on you retain those that i was mentioning so about from that we don't see that much. but what we see is that this risk is more and more taken into account, which needs to gain further on sharing supply chain. actually, the coupling china operations from global operations more and more. right. so companies and making sure that they can source everything they need to within china without having to rely on moving stuff across borders. i suppose i want somebody to

try as much as possible. yeah, that's a panoramic obviously has been a major issue over the past year as it less some businesses less able to operate in china than they were before need. yeah, indeed. so actually when we see revenue increase, we, she'll also revenue decrease, as i mentioned, overall reason use our, the creasing and the most impacted world one most exposed to jacoby 19 restrictions . l shut down like iris face and as ation of food and beverage. and obviously we have a major concern to well to foreign workers. it's difficult to get them back and even solve the companies who could get them back to 61 percent. and then consider that it's a substrate issue in terms of retaining for incentive for any work number or self. no, i think current ma shot rule from the european chamber of commerce. china, thank you very much for joining us on business. thank you. and just finally, amazon found a jeff bay's office says he's heading to space on the 20th of july. he'll be on the

1st crude flight of the new shepherd. that's the rocket ship made by his space, the blue origin. his brother mount bay, thus will join him as will the winner of an ongoing ocean for a seat on the ship or the 5000 people have bid on the price to receive bits of more than 3000000 dollars. i think i'll wait for the price to come down of it as over me on the dw business team. thanks a lot for joining us to check out our website. dot com ah the fight against the corolla virus pandemic. how has the rate of infection been developing? what does the latest research information and contact the corona virus? because the 19 special next on dw,

like in immigrants, police will stop them. that the road is illusion. their flight could be fatal, but going back is not an option. i'm on and nobody are stuck in the spanish border area there. they're waiting for a chance that will probably never come. shattered dreams starts june 18th, on d. w. the children may seem well equipped to deal with cars at 19, but the pandemic is leaving. it's mark school closes and isolation from friends a bad enough. but some kids are forced to face the and demik alone. the research shows over a 1000000 children have lost at least one caregiver during the crisis,

robbing them of critical support, and exposing them to poverty and abuse. me, i'm ben for school and nice to have you along. the pandemic has put some kids in an extremely risky situation. as you'll see in our report in a moment. india's emerging from a deadly wave of infections. it's claimed tens of thousands of lives and created a broken generation children and teens orphans and exposed to not only emotional drama, but exploitation for 9 years now, the people that had worked with children from under previous communities on a daily basis. she deals with children who have experienced creek laws and forced to grow up before they're ready. but since the outbreak of who with 19 their numbers are growing, children are being made to quit education and pick up household responsibilities and are also being pushed into child labor as their families have lost income.

secondly, since they are spending a lot of time at their home, now many cases of child abuse are also coming up. having already been disproportionately affected by over 19, many children are facing another tragic fall out of the fund and many have lost mothers or fathers are both, leaving them extremely one that says last year the angel will be the work has provided support to talking children who have been often new to call the one team by helping them settling with their extended families. so no opposing the founder of the organization says that while children who have been often how much tougher and need immediate attention, a more holistic approach is needed to address every child in distress. there is a lot of conversation about corporate office, but honestly, on the ground in such cases are probably 5 to 6 percent. the other 95 percent cases that we're looking at is where the bed, the very best of these children are pushing them into sexual trade,

transactional sex and child labor. the real issue really is to look at the vulnerability mapping of which child is in massive distress. and woodside needs more support that there is a need for a more comprehensive approach is something that an iraq can do the head of the daily commission for protection of child. right. also, i'm looking for something for 3 things need to happen. one, these schemes that provide financial assistance to these families so that the basic subsistence is insured. the 2nd thing that needs to happen is the government have to explore ways of keeping the children in school, the toward either ensuring a livelihood for the family, or ensuring that they're just starting different existing schemes of the government could be a russian or whatever. but ensuring the, the family has adequate means as an immediate urgent step. the commission has started a health line for children in distress. back at the center pretty says that many

children she meets with are in crisis. right now. we've got a home because of over the years of hard work that we and the children had put in seemed to have gone waste our home. we are now trying to get them back to their studies and 2 different activities. we are trying to heal them and had them come out of the difficult situation. we're still brief. he says that despite their best efforts, it will be a long while before the children are able to cope with the heart. and the trauma that the fun to make hasn't flicked it. the rain sure is a clinical psychologist and works closely with national and international agencies . she joins us from london in india. they're talking about a broken generation. are we seeing this elsewhere? absolutely. it is occurring elsewhere. but your question is always seniors, and i think people are focusing much today. there's treatment. so for every adult who comes to covert,

you would have often heard for their children. and in the fall, grandparents where it's discussed with an older generations, you have co residing and caring grants, parents for children dramatically. and we need to show from alan's to them just what sort of magnitude are we talking about in some parts of the world? well, it's high, we have a paper coming out in the last couple of weeks that tries to create a model to quantify it. but it's related to the fraternity weights, the size of families, and the burden of co good. and they're kind reporting. we are seeing figures globally, probably in excess of the auto 1000000 children and growing and growing. we know in countries with hydrogen to more to fix it. and very often they're going to take to low income countries. so looking at countries like india, as he said, south africa when it's true coffee usa, i'm a coffee, you k in brazil,

many, many countries across the conference. it's a global phenomenon. while another concern is the panoramic scene of inches, clothes and children sent back to their communities. what, what happens then? well, it's a complicated story because we know that often digital probably not going places for 5. we noticed before the panoramic and sadly amongst the h. harvey, academic, we saw the mushroom where we do have very good evidence. the family care is best for children. so we, we all of your programs to close orphanages and to families for example. and you can do this an excellent program and i wonder but the plans closer, very interesting issues. so we could jump now and support the families we. we, complet children go unsupported,

no resources. and maybe some of the policies on child care and child care and the fundamental rocks, absence of adult care needs to be bought and focus with resources where we, we shouldn't forget that this is kind of casualty. as well. lorraine, have we learned anything from other pandemic? absolutely, so in a bota and in h i, v and aids we saw the mushrooming of children and huge t. we also know that the phone with energy exams lifelong. so once you've lost a parent or a child experience, often hood, we know that it matters who dies it. if it's a grand parents, it has a mother if it's a father and we know the multiple, but i mean like double opening oh multiple off it in both really poorly for the child. and we often are the age matters. her younger, the child,

the more dramatic effects and care responses crucial for the immediate care and the ongoing, sustains care and all kinds of disruptions like schooling and being, need to be tags. if the child is to, again, we also know that if you do pushing vengeance, they work. so we have to be very cautious of poor quality care of it. accessible finance and abuse such children and having national and government supported good program and with a short plan from children. a range share their clinical psychologist. she joins us from london. thank you very much for being on the show today. pleasure. time now for our science correspondence, derek williamson out of your question about how the virus affects young adults. oh, how does it 19 tend to check in the notes?

there are 2 fits of this, this multifaceted question that i'd like to talk about. the 1st is of course, the straightforward issue of what the virus does physically to an average young adult as compared to someone who is older and they are the statistics. tell a pretty clear story. cobra 1900 mortality, increases dramatically with age. let's look at recent data from the u. s. more than 4 and 5 deaths there have occurred in those over 65 and fewer than one into 100 reported deaths had been and people under 30. but as vaccinations rise among the elderly in countries like the u. s, doctors say that the average age of patients who are being hospitalized with the disease is dropping dramatically and that many of those younger patients will end

up with conditions like crippling damage to the lungs or the heart. so, although cobit 19 is a lot less likely to kill a young adult, there are still really pressing reasons to get vaccinated because getting it can have devastating long term health consequences. the 2nd important facet of this question is, is the pandemic, emotional, social, psychological, and economic impact. it's affecting every one of every age, but is experts say in many ways, hitting young adults especially hard and, and that a key time in their lives. there are no warning that due to lock downs and other measures generation cove, it is facing shortfalls in opportunities for, for crucial self development. many young people are rising to the challenges but,

but psychologists and other therapists in many places like like here in germany are also currently being overwhelmed by this tidal wave of young adults in need of help . and. and a lot of those professionals now say that even the serious toll taken by infection in today's young adults could in the long run, be overshadowed by the impact coven 19 has on the groups mental health. me. derrick williams. i keep sending in your questions, just use youtube channel. finally, some good news for residents of delhi and will by the government is eating lockdown restrictions. there is new infections in india full to a 2 month low shopping centers. reopening with some restrictions in place. how the transport is operating again at reduced capacity. restrictions came in april law

through india was hit with most of the a corona outbreak. the date in india, one of the worlds was hit countries with around 29000000 registered cases. despite easing restrictions, authorities are wanting residents against letting down infections, maybe falling, but coded related deaths remain at high levels. thanks for watching. stay safe and see you again. ah . the news. the news
