station. arriving there. worldwide news around the clock this is live with me rule reese to show you in moscow welcome to the program. cyber war were sounding rippling across the internet a dutch web hosting company has allegedly launched the largest ever cyber attack against a geneva based spam fighting group which had put it on its blacklist now according to the victims of the assault it's so powerful that it is even slowed down the worldwide internet access. explains how the web went global.
8:02 am
this is actually just a fight among two companies one geneva based spamhaus which is a nonprofit but has bases all over the world they actually provide security services to keep bad things from going through the internet than the other so we have cyber bunker a company a dutch company who is very open about being able to do whatever they want on the internet they can hold us lots of material and they don't like being told what they can and can't do online and what has erupted is a battle on the web that has in some instances actually crippled internet traffic internationally i think we're seeing something that's a little childish it's between two groups who just don't don't quite get along what's happening as a result of this is a whole internet is slowing down and so it could have some pretty dangerous repercussions of happening for an entire week now and is you know under investigation and as we saw earlier when we were talking to cyber bunker it seems like that that group isn't exactly ready to just sit back and go ahead and throw in
8:03 am
the towel here well there's no better place than the internet for minimal damage to turn into an epic disaster given how much crucial data are stored on the web as also you told me just a bit earlier in the program cyber attacks are increasingly becoming a very very powerful weapon. well certainly cyber attacks are not as lethal let's say as cluster bombs they would not kill people but in our times they're becoming much more effective in terms of damage to the infrastructure and that happens every day besides if we compare the cost for instance of one missile which would make us like hundreds of thousands of dollars this is cheap and completely untraceable let's take for instance the recent stuxnet virus which was equated by the nato official story use of force which was aimed at disrupting the your in your nuclear program imagine something went wrong there and nuclear facilities started exploding the death toll would have been enormous or the another and growing cyber attack from a known islamic organization on banks in the united states of course this is not
8:04 am
killing people but definitely causing huge financial damage loans are being canceled accounts are being killed so definitely cyber attacks are getting stronger and stronger and more dangerous every year you know you talk about accounts being online a lot of us have banking online banking a credit card information maybe even medical information as well it would almost seem that that many of us could be a victim just by waking up to a problem the next morning but what about the bigger picture what about a big cyber attack on a government they have already been cases of intergovernmental cyber attacks in twenty eleven pentagon was reportedly attacked by other government was a specified which government that was but twenty four thousand sensitive files were stolen and made public only god knows what consequences there were following this attack on the pentagon alexy talk about at the pentagon being a cyber attack to you talk about hacking you talk about online economic warfare me to some the web might potentially seem to be a the new front for global warfare definitely this is getting boring especially
8:05 am
that some of the frozen conflicts ongoing conflicts and disputes are already being affected by the cyber cybernet warfare in particular the south korean north korean dispute with saul claiming that they suffered thirty two thousand cyber attacks over the course of last year and that north korea masterminding those attacks and even creating. special militarized unit to lead the cyber warfare something which is already happening in the united states according to u.s. officials they are having some kind of regiments of cyber warriors and recently the u.s. defense officials upgraded the threat potential threat from cyber attacks to a higher level than attacks by al qaeda which is something that first have happened since nine eleven definitely this speaks volumes as to how serious this whole situation is and how serious the concerns are where you can tell us exactly what you think of this large scale internet battle by just going to our web site and taking part in our current online poll or from r.t. dot com let's see how the numbers of stacking up here so what will be the fallout
8:06 am
ultimately of the hack attack on the web top position here thirty six percent of all voters saying well it's a new age of cyber warfare coming in fairly close second position though about a third of the votes the governments will strike back at cyber hackers then down to nineteen percent saying there are new tough web rules ahead of us then a very the minority here fourteen percent in the green as you can see the internet security as we know it has gone dot com we are still taking your votes right now don't hesitate to get involved. the alleged world's largest ever cyber attack hits the internet. in the u.s. the f.b.i. is facing a court case over claims it's using. technology to suck up huge amounts of data from. the russian parliament is set to be extreme right. before the.
8:07 am
holocaust denial jail time. information on the web site. more accusations of mistreatment are being hurled in the guantanamo bay detention facility the inmates who are refusing food over the harsh conditions in america's most torrid notorious prison and they claim that personnel there are now depriving them of drinking water and keeping the temperatures inside the camp near freezing point despite fears the hunger protest could soon lead to fatalities we spoke to us air force lieutenant colonel barry when a military lawyer who's right now he told us about his own clients desperate plight . i've never seen anything in all my five years coming one kind of. more than fifty constantly. talk about you know you forget whole.
8:08 am
part of folk playing that week he went from one forty seven down to one hundred seven i mean he was only one third of body weight and he continued. i can always find you on whether or not he prepared to die but i can tell you that after eleven years of the region can charge an opportunity to defend himself it's a very low point here and one out of the. movement performed think of one hundred sixty six individuals out here in the clear to be told. no way and in the process of being released from your mind. you don't meet your own hundred. only cleared not cleared from kuwait from countries we support. the radio. the people of all of that mean that if it turns out that people begin to die here then i think it will go into a different but i can tell that it didn't come to that people. are
8:09 am
we've been robbed probably we were told if we get military commissions well you know we don't even have trouble let alone an opportunity to get him out represent him only because the former. minister has been willing to give him a trial or try but now he has no courage and for me to defend that i can totally try to keep hold of it department complete complete straight up an extension of the concept and then we will. for the rest of their lives without ever having an opportunity to defend. a leader of a country indefinite detention will be applied to guantanamo bay well that's when you got the fact that you will have to break trippy. and the worsening situation at the guantanamo bay prison has drawn closer attention from the red cross which brought forward a planned visit of some of its staff at the military claims more than thirty people
8:10 am
are taking part in the hunger strike more lawyers and activists say the figure is many times higher than talking to us here at odds the spokesman for the international committee of the red cross in north america simon shore know he said that poor legal regulation is to blame for the inmates suffering from our observations of the eagles tensions and and this anguish that he needs or experience and he's clearly related to the lack of a clear legal framework in guantanamo and this is now obviously a real impact and as an impact for the phillies for some time on their mental health on their emotional for us would be the issue beyond just what you know we are seeing right now in guantanamo is this issues that lawyers are talking about the issue of the legal framework that that regiments the detention at guantanamo and this is the issue that administration must address and the white house has broken its silence and finally issued its first comments on the strike which has been going on now for seven weeks it's a spokesman said the u.s.
8:11 am
government is keeping a close eye on the situation in remains committed to closing the facility but obama's former assistant secretary of state for public affairs p.j. crowley he told r.t. the president hands his hands are tied. having worked for president obama i thought that president obama had the right policy approach when he came into office in two thousand and nine to close guantanamo within one year the united states civilian justice system has for decades been able to handle terrorism cases we've had a number of them in recent months and years however as the president had signed an executive order pledging he had to close guantanamo congress has prevented him from doing that there was a secondary effort through the state department for those. detainees who were judged to belong to no longer pose a threat or have been mistakenly brought to judge quantum in the first place to transport those back to home countries third countries and that has simply had
8:12 am
tried that over time made the challenge smaller unfortunately the state department has been forced because of funding issues to close that office down it really is the nicest congress that has basically frozen you know the situation in place the president is right now unable to move forward but you can check out find out how the hunger crisis at guantanamo has been developing day by day and what reactions it has as well we've got the full time line of for you there it's just a click away well for now a cypriot banks have reopened it with a slew of restrictions on what people can do with their money caps on with drolls monthly limits and a near ban on any large transfers means that the business is investors and pension is much of that cash is still frozen and still very much at risk of entirely being fulfilled did test our city of reports from nicosia. you can see behind me that is
8:13 am
the bank of cyprus there has been a lie that had gathered before the baghdad open but i have to say that the people there have really remained calm and also the fact is there are a lot of media here if you could just pan there's a lot of media here and the people there the crowds have gathered also just to see what is going on so it's really quite hard to gauge who is actually going to the back and who is not but as far as the live right outside the bank they have been called hoping i'm happy that the bags of finally opened after two weeks and also have to know that a lot of them are older people they say they don't have a.t.m. cards so they have to actually go into the back to gather their casual let's just talk about the restrictions that have been imposed those capital controls the first time in the euro zone now the people here can only get three hundred euros per person per day per bank and also if anyone is traveling out of cyprus they can only bring a cash amount of one thousand euros maximum and if they are abroad and they want to charge to their credit cards the maximum limit there is five thousand euros now really for the for many for the past two weeks people have been cash strapped and they tried to make the cash and had
8:14 am
a fit and all of this of course we know is it falls under that e.u. i.m.f. bailout plan to cyprus agreed agreed upon so this is being imposed in order to get the ten to billion euro deal now as far as the european leaders are concerned they think the business saved the country for bankruptcy but the people here many of them really feel that they did not get the best solution that they could get and i've been speaking with a lot of locals and here is my report like many in cyprus. this is simply stunned at the speed and man who will finish the banking crisis in his country seems to be spiraling out of control he shows us his wallet you know cash a little lottery tickets a single parent unemployed and caring for his sick mother in raveling of cyprus's financial woes couldn't have come at a worse time but. with a pension of my mom all of your life is coming up so you don't you make a plan for the future people are younger and.
8:15 am
your whole country. so. you standing with an empty hands. a sentiment echoed throughout the tiny island nation. scenes like these becoming a daily occurrence another day in nicosia cyprus another protest though this one in particular is a gathering about the police of the country's largest lender the bank of cyprus but they worry that the company is headed for collapse and they may eventually lose their jobs though many cypriots are told me that they are well aware that this is just the beginning of a long hard road i believe that. europe is germany's told because we're a small economy they felt that the consequences would be minimal what they don't know is that the president has been said and what happened today in cyprus could
8:16 am
easily happen tomorrow to italy to front june to spain we just want to be left alone to pick up the pieces and get on with our lives he is part of your peer european union system files and for. paying the money through the european union to have. the other two contras you may embarrass. no but this process have probably already. or softened as economic drama continues with politicians and bankers drawing up painful measures to execute the his own i.m.f. backing bailout plan it's all too clear to ordinary cypriots who is going to be bearing the brunt need this is mother for example have a monthly pension cut from one thousand one hundred eighty nine year olds to just over one thousand a month ago why they cut from people who have special needs they cut from the
8:17 am
people for his part allies question all cypriots would like answered as well. does or sylvia r.t. because c.s. cyprus. and the protests in cyprus and tense a five day by day and go from people from all walks of life someone it may all spill into violence. it is financial governance over europe i don't think they care what the citizens of europe the five hundred million people of european continent feel about how this crisis or these crises are being handled it is governed by crisis to the extent extreme you know they were polite and said we're going to date you early on in this crisis four or five years ago now they're making a very bold statement they're not asking any more they're just going to take it if someone's trying to rob you then it would make sense that it could certainly lead to violence i mean that is the ultimate outcome if somebody is trying to get access what is theirs you know their money so they can put food on their table and they're

a drone operators do play a real important role in modern militaries and there are already u.s. military medals for things that don't involve people shooting at you the antarctic a service medals given by the department of defense for service between fifteen and thirty consecutive days in antarctica although the cold down there is potentially deadly no penguins are going to storm the base with kalashnikovs the homeland security distinguished service medal has also never been issued to anyone on the battlefield because thankfully for america there haven't been any invading armies in the homeland so is there precedent for a medal like cyber warfare battles i mean yes just there is but when you think about it giving someone a medal for using a mouse to blow up blips on a monitor really seems to devalue the medals of the guys who are brave enough to storm the beaches on d.-day or slog through disease and sneak field swaps and vietnam so maybe for the sake of the prestige of the of their medals let's just let the cybersecurity one go but that's just my opinion.
