twelfth of may twenty seventh overnight a dangerous computer virus has spread around the globe want to cry is the name the cyber criminals have given the virus with which they blackmail their victims by blocking their computer data the ransom three hundred dollars to be paid in bitcoins. more than two hundred thousand computers on all continents are affected by this attack from the german rail network to the ministry of the interior in russia and the japanese car manufacturer of honda in great britain some hospitals even have to switch to emergency operational. how can one single know where to move tenuously paradise companies hospitals and even intelligence services all over the world the answer has a name microsoft all the victims use the same software all are vulnerable from the same way all are dependent on one single company as is every state administration

in europe. what are the consequences this is what we've the team of journalists from investigate europe wanted to find out the results are alarming. this is about the data of all citizens everyone is affected and the dependency is much deeper than just the use of microsoft would or accept almost every author or a team from the town home to the vehicle registration office and the tax office works with software specially written for their purposes. these many thousands of special programs are written for the windows operating system and the mocha.

information technology becomes the deeper the state is trapped in the microsoft monopoly. no one knows this better than martin child of. the german government's i t. for eight years. the burden deutschland isn't defacto upping it for microsoft but in my course of political timing is that miniscule comes we need to. start as a dust addicts and if someone does manage on the vitals and on the soft einsatz income divide he took women to and in microsoft for human body and microsoft put on the bush would send via the education and serve idea is that microsoft's off to a lot of the sewage into a little i know it's not in his kite field satisfy the end of a can and let's not say no that's once he has a lot of these already presume he harvest does it up any fun i'd sit in he has to learn. afghan's idol admits the two and as you own the exam night he has been

developing for nineteen the cloud as a. whole shalamar stay in the control is. the stuff that is in the sinai and ninety ima vital and man in the film comes. in the lab is a spiritual altay and he says yes my ninety six years and here they're brothers in the village and you know if it's on implement and it is in the veto yes my naive to believe in this is i don't feel like this has been a good movie. dependency is the result of a business principle with which the major software manufacturers and in particular microsoft have created monopolies worldwide keeping the source code the secret. modern software is written in programming languages the exact recipe of a program or an entire operating system is created the source code every i.t.

specialist can follow the source code however the computer and its processes count so the source code has to be converted by a translation program into machine code but this can only be read and understood by computers. this is the source code for the cultures believe that in public administration there is no alternative to microsoft even though this is long since become a profitable industry. does this guy know it or not even the piss from the man is now law is not for it's once it's gone up like a business i know it's one of us off thousands not of the windows it's in the end was done nish to all patients started it was a stain on all the fun is up in these cards in the file this i don't mean this in and it is going on the i know of on and again as it does a lot of others work later on when the at least on that as i was it's a toy and of items on the bus by itself now the target of us not what's another know about. and. home. as

a life of the border incentive yet what it is to to. a town. that's been soft. goals of the national. i guess and does this michaels of one of four u.s. run for from one device that. is going to guns that in just the woods is that either the gun into the seats and just as it's even then i'd never have a device on his role in by the visit and it's but that's this idea the shelf time buys. today open source programs can easily compete with microsoft products as the company open exchange chose. to use a software so i just consider office parkade from microsoft as its income. in this office has actually just industry for life and microsoft came has so much. and i'm one of the best that's really a ten mean if i give up. the human. mind isn't

that time only so let's move to texas etiam ben so. as it's your own so do most of us not to mention guns in the comment and the fun also from going to because it's a. vertical mental phenomena someone via target is to forget that someone is kept in permanent workflow but i know. this consider him a gun is maximally doctors can be so busy ness and saying cling to us i was just on lots of fun events i office software what is this team some and seen as almost a cloud furnish went up any stuff under my. demise none of that up front of me that's good but it's got his business when it's a budget on the phone and i answer that argentina call what i have order for the. phone still it comes in with on the internets thing callin the dog but it's enough and it's as if it's the system that's my home the moment you have demons i gave us the. involved assume and support even just as a statement is in the as in for life scene the four million alone is on going up

and then the good thing is not as their goals is being given it wasn't an annoyance of the money going on. it was doing some research of the us is and there's a vaccine for one for us it would send. annoying yawn and for the. join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics sport business i'm showbusiness i'll see that.

the use of open source software has long been standard practice for private corporations. the global giants of the digital economy such as facebook amazon google pay pal only work with open source they would never give their competitor microsoft access to their information technology by using their software yet european states continually surrender to the old monopoly through contracts. in these microsoft and governments come to an agreement on the conditions whereby

government institutions may use the software giants programs the german ministry of the interior is legally bound to allow inspection of such contracts however the ministry has blackened all the essential parts like prices conditions and security requirements the reason given trade secrets as claimed by microsoft in other words the corporation can decide what the public may learn about its dealings with taxpayers' money. with the framework contracts governments all state institutions from local authority to parliament to obtain software directly from microsoft resellers this is legally questionable because this type of treaty overrides european law.

accordingly public authorities are prohibited from buying products and services exceeding the value of one hundred thirty five thousand euros from just one supplier there has to be a public invitation to tender the german government's head of i t p t but appears to have no problems with this how does he justifies circumventing public procurement. of mission and done on them but. this is all as if i don't want to fit in for. him. and hide under them his dollars least of the stock in the idea. he's in some nice. dodge nothing to. source and fuck you fuck.

you know it's expose them and often it is just and that's as good as you did on this photo missed in hundreds on fatigue and. microsoft good sense and microsoft it's. just kind of. you know. it's not that simple e.u. legislation expressly prohibits the preference of individual companies in public. as well as the use of brand names and invitations to tender a lawyer specializing in i.t. and public procurement matures pops has been examining this practice for the past four years at the netherlands university of groningen so do framework agreements with microsoft violate e.u. law yeah yeah that's very clear it violates european law and when you ask organizations you know why are you doing this the people responsible for ten or

they usually know that that file it's european law but they will say well even the european commission itself is doing it. how is it possible that top e.u. or thore are breaking their own rules my colleague maria majority from the journalist team investigate europe has been a long time correspondent in brussels and knows who to ask. ok who are we going to meet now and now we are going to meet. this month to month of the empty inside it with. my cousin i was already told they are going to sign a new contract with microsoft next year so good luck to those in. the. next contract with microsoft and i you already negotiating a new contract tell janice the plan is to go for a negotiated procedure with microsoft for. this top layer.

and for full for tender with a reseller. for microsoft doesn't the practice to negotiate this framework contract violate the rules of procurement which demand open competition no they don't that are different procedure look at some microsoft even less to infinity for lack of them distortion concerns it's not mention these i know it's hard for hundred distances to get to stupidity. youngest was know it was going to last just as soon as ready it was lockers to go into it or. it's fitted on window to be very very few. according to a survey the vast majority of city employees are quite satisfied with lima however the experts found that the i t. was poorly managed partly because the heads of departments were allowed to make their own decisions about how to use the programs but there was no fundamental

technical problem as the previous head of munich's i t department told the industry news service. we can't interview the employees of the administration because they are not allowed to talk to us however an expert from the municipal department is prepared to talk to us anonymously so is there some truth in the claim that the open source system in the munich administration didn't work properly isn't it isn't touched them enough as it ought to still have a heart and that about it and cannot be for the long as. a lot of phones and as it's been discontinued to harness that same thousand formula. very often the software in the past has it and it's meet in small noise for log system for microsoft office does what it believes where nobody comes in for long hours and converts or years of art that we don't hender. fleeing or just for an explosion that aren't even more funny a minute but aren't as kind take

a show called just put it tick on for hundreds musser. and. again. that was accordance you wouldn't be. getting the sleep. microsoft. does but you know. microsoft. from sunni and. you know it's not going to here and you know this. you know the incident.

to imagine decades after the war a nazi don't tell was still active rich in a not in seventies croteau had as the chair of its board a man convicted of mass murder and slavery at auschwitz a german company developed a little mind a drug that was promoted as completely safe even during pregnancy it turned out to have terrible side effects what has happened to my baby anything paul you know she said she's just. mimics a little mind victims who have to this day received no compensation they never apologized for the suffering they. not only want the money i want the revenge. because there's no power in libya that is powerful enough to take over the country all of them just want powers they can fight for ever and they do it really over the

last four or five years that's what they did they just kept fighting and fighting and fighting and nobody was able to win in. the only thing we know from one of those is destruction of the country is the killing of the young people and the innocent men under the knife of the good became so miserable to come to because of faulty. medical use downs to leaks doors lead guarded cardio. period. and when you.

look at the distance was most of the book called this a but. it's going strong it's the it's about scene i mean there's. just a little. you know it's amazing that america people all join a group on the say nine dollars on sushi with their friends on dubai and using the group a fact to buy health care but he said you know why why that group bought logic to health care so that you can afford health care at all make you bankrupt like the socialism but that you that they get all that because they've been trained by the

professional media cocker see industry and propagandists to run the big media outlets. people have a trigger response to affordable health care equals communism. in twenty forty you know bloody revolution to correct the demonstrations going from being relatively peaceful political protests to be increasingly violent revolution is always spontaneous or is it still oil here i mean your list put me in the new bill is that i new school in the middle of the former ukrainian president recalls the events of twenty fourteen. those who took part in this today over five billion dollars to assist ukraine in these and other goals that will ensure a secure and prosperous and democratic. led. you know world

a big part of the new lot and conspiracy it's time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that mainstream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smarter we need to stop slamming the door on the bats and shouting past each other it's time for critical thinking it's time to fight for the middle for the truth the time is now we're watching closely watching the hawks. look. at the list and. i'm going to say that i said this is your money and. so there are a lot of bills still. in and they have the right and the question now but then you

. look a little tough for the little guy. now that the modern i don't want to allow. something doesn't really work. mr need to. own. it and they shuffle stem and we have to find out on the way there you know but a little warmth in the end i will see. oh. my god shall i do you so i don't know what this i don't say that. i've been saying the numbers mean something they matter to us is over one trillion dollars in debt more than ten like hard times happy each day. eighty five percent of global wealth you longs to be rich feet point six percent market saw thirty

percent rise last year some with four hundred to five hundred three per circuit first second and bitcoin rose to twenty thousand dollars. china is building a two point one billion dollar a i industrial park but don't let the numbers overwhelm. the only numbers you need to remember is one in one business show you can't afford to miss the one and only. the the you. are

. our headline stories this hour donald trump. owner ordered to immediately release classified documents regarding the f.b.i. and government officials involved in the russian probe. also ahead this hour the u.s. state department accuses the syrian government and its assisting terrorists in the country we examine whether the claims correspond with the reality on the ground.
