area in russia and the japanese car manufacturer honda in great britain some hospitals even have to switch to emergency operational. how can one single mole where single tenuously paralyzed 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 in 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 word or excel almost every or for eighty 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. the more complex information technology becomes the deeper the state is trapped in the microsoft monopoly. no one knows this better than mounting child will manage the german government's i t. for eight years. the burden and voice sound isn't defacto opting it's from microsoft i deny michael's dying is that in his control guns we need to. build a dusk to dawn it's an exam i just manage on the vitals and on the soft einsatz income to go mental in michael spoiling the idea. and microsoft put on the bush

would send via. microsoft's software no from the sewage into english to i know it's not being it's kind of identification it's not saying oh that's once he has a lot of these all these prisoners harvest us made up any kind of fun i'd sit in his den one of the un's idle admits the thought is you won't because i'm a t. as has been developed home for nineteen deployed as an. artist in the control is. to stop this minute of sinai ignite imma via top and. it's provided support will tie and you see here is my ninety physicians and in the book of them every line that i want to spend on implementing the visit the veto as my nightie visibility i can design much of itas has been that there might be legal side of it. 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 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 command show hello world as taught in every beginner's programming course the same commands translated into machine code looks like this. microsoft makes the machine code available

to its customers but nobody understands it however the source code is kept secret by the company in order to protect itself from imitators this business model is called proprietary only the manufacturer is able to change improve correct and fix security gaps in the software but this means the user is completely at the mercy of the manufacturer for better or worse. all citizens data from techs returns to finance flows through the state administrations large data centers. we visit one of these top security server parks in hamburg the exact location of which we are not allowed to reveal let alone fill however the fences and locks are no protection against the open flank microsoft. so. as i stated i was there he said i was on the side out of all ideas when there

are other. is i know i'm sure that doesn't eights understand they're going to let many women on the know it all community community of the one houses they started. to do it as millions of it's kind of hidden. one side effects that. inhibit conventional takes on insulin in this diet said john fish last legacy of the good fruit but this of adults will have microsoft city up and provide. a good job at mines open tennis australia it can also be all open source of escape but i see india to propagate ourselves to. give it is that's a great question why the stuff here is obviously the software can also be fun like yourself when you know if it were true it is the i need to factor more of course or the good business yapping is tied to don't listen we've got a little machine or study games up in the sky and one fighter pilots of in india listen up i'm. bustle of things inside a microsoft percentage that was on a school killing the stupidest of its own microsoft intensely and that's the same

young as well the content stuck on most microsoft isn't that hot and also all of the gen is going to this year of the device on microsoft put them in microsoft product event i need that for their books just a. bit on any. one of the hundreds are i now i knew rooms had this most of us think of the nation also all of guys and that's even social. these alternatives have been around for a long time they're based on the fundamentally different principle called open source. in contrast to the proprietary software of microsoft and other companies open source software uses a source code that is publicly available. that's why hundreds of thousands of programmers around the world can improve it extended and fix bugs. the collective workforce of the swarm of program and discovers and closes secure. city

gaps and efficiently produces state of the art software including the world's most widely used operating systems linux and then droid. unlike microsoft windows linux is available free of charge. any organization or administration can customize it for its own purposes without asking the corporation for permission nevertheless most government team managers 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 get this from the many smart for once again the like of a design it's one of thousands not of the windows it's in the end was done nish to all patients start on all the fun is up in these guides on the find is a don't miss this in and it is because you're on the no of on and again as he does not of others will work later on in the at least on this is obviously it's a toy and survived on thousands of us by itself and the target of us and us and our

band and again with the home of us was your thoughts with of i as a life order on incentive yet were as two to one vote as a town. that's been soft as all mr under us has led to a cause of national debt and status definition i guess and does this and that's why my course of one of four us run for from one device that. is going to guns in the us the and stand with their feet and into the seats and just as it's and even then i'd never heard it is very knowledgeable in by the business as but that's this in your shaft time buys. today open source programs can easily compete with microsoft products as the company open exchange shows. these are software so i just consider office parkade from microsoft as it's because. in this office that's actually just industry flight from microsoft came here so much. and i'm one of the best for that

. to mean if i give up introduce less of the human. mind isn't that time let's move to texas etiam been so kind of. unpleasant so do most of us moms human tendency to comment on the phone also from us on the because it's somebody. on the end of vertical mental phenomena someone via tech advice to forget that someone. is kept in permanent work flow meant i know. this consider him a gun is nothing more that doctors can be so busy ness and saying things as i was just on lots of fun events i office software what is this team someone seen as i was technology for this one upping the stuff on them like the national do mice none of that up front of me that's good buys it's got his business and it's a budget on the nines and i'm sort of at odds and tina called whatever. comes in on then but not cynical and not dealt with it's enough and it's as if it's the system and. moment if i deem it was i gave the d.m.v.

office and then support the justice system and is in the as in for lived i seen the loans on been up and then the good thing is not was their goals this big it wasn't an annoyance of my going on was this. was going to miss much of this is and definitely of oxenford one for us it would send good as yas that money on and for the. you know world of big part of the. conspiracy it's time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that made stream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smarter we need to stop slamming the door. on the back and

shouting past each other it's time for critical thinking it's time to fight for the middle for the troops the time is now for watching closely watching the hawks. i've been saying the numbers mean something they matter the u.s. has over one trillion dollars in debt more than ten white collar crimes happen each day. eighty five percent of the global wealth you loans to the ultra rich eight point six percent market saw a thirty percent rise last year some with four hundred to five hundred three per second per 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 number you need to remember is one to one business show you can't afford to miss the one and only.

joining the boston city is lebanon has been subject to six invasions from israel. six invasions at prestigious every day and every five years we are having. one let's say and this is definitely the kind of thing to help lebanon. there's now a build around pray here in rwanda to know why says terrorists from. their own bad memories. twenty four years ago this country's soul a real look at the end of the world. after the genocide there a moment women in rwanda that man. it

fell to women to fix what the men had broken. join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics small business i'm show business 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 paypal only work was open source they would never give their competitor microsoft access to their information technology by using their software yet utopian 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 giant's 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 of 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 law. which. he said microsoft coughed mission and done on them but. this is all it's if i don't win if it in full partner i'll just have to invent. and hide under the history lalas least of the stock and the. reason it's a nice. d. . source and fuck you fuck.

you know it's expose them and often it is just and that's as good as you know you did on this photo in this. microsoft. microsoft it's a. it's not that simple e.u. legislation expressly prohibits the preference of individual companies in public procurement as well as the use of print names invitations to tender a lawyer specializing in i.t. and public procurement mature 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 are going to say since you know why are you doing this the people responsible for

a tender they usually know that standard file it's european law but they will say well even the european commission itself is doing it. how is it possible that. 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 we are going to need. to spend some of the empty inside 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 you would i be negotiating a new contract the plan is to go for

a negotiated procedure with microsoft for. this top layer. and for full for tender. for microsoft doesn't the practice to negotiate this framework contract violate the rules of procurement which demands open competition no doubt that are different procedures foreseen by the procurement rules and of course the digital to procedure is called for tender but then the negotiated procedure is a procedure that exists in their own and it's fully legal and the conditions are that there is only one provider that can provide this particular solution the technical solution so there is no other possibility and what we've seen is that we if we didn't do call for tender an open call for tender for provision we would land with microsoft anyway and it would be much more expensive because what they're doing now is negotiating a price list together with microsoft which gives us huge discounts well it sounds

very reasonable but this actually means that they have a problem within their organization. because they are open locked in. they are in a optimal situation because they are so dependent on working with microsoft that they are even thinking the. function without the microsoft software it says more about their own organization then. the topic of law because it basically means that they have internal problem that they have to fix but it doesn't mean that there can't disregard for human what does the procurement law exactly say of the procurement law describes. social situations in which you can ask for

a brand name being locked in is not an excuse to disregard the procurement rules. there is another way in munich under the leadership of former s.p.d. mayor christian peter the city administration has converted eighty percent of all microsoft computers to the open source operating system linux since two thousand and four the project called lean looks was considered a great success and was also copied in other european cities. in twenty twelve detail writer at the time head of economics in the city government negotiated with microsoft to relocate their german headquarters to munich in twenty four team writer himself became the mayor since then he's been working with the alliance of social democrats and conservatives to bring the city administration back into the arms of the monopolist if you steal us if you want am i. feel differently.

and this man and i had business immediately on this is i'd normally get on. my police and fire i was killing this for you i'll take it to our career here as it causes pleasure for good crescendo don't he pitted and this undone done in the final debate the mayor rejects the arguments of the opposition about independence and data security with the linux system and argues in his closing words in a very personal way all this must be crude pre-term and when it does well isn't seen as truth in the answer may provide shifts beginning in this ng by consequence really the mental as an institutional is clearly. trying to refrain. dimon is limited if he. can do it if he merely soup it wasn't here for him dunk. is to look at some microsoft taking

lies to him for the full article distortion concerns it's not mentioned in this i had four hundred give distances to get to stupidity even if it was youngest was know it was going to last just as phil's ready it was lockers to go to consort to. it's fitted on window to get if you start. according to a survey the vast majority of city employees are quite satisfied with lee marks however the experts found that the i t. was poorly minute. 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're 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 others in touched him enough as it ought to still have a hard on with about a test that good of it and cannot be for the long as. a lot of phones aren't as it's been discontinued of us what's in thousand formula. very often the software in the past presidents made in. noise for a long distinguished even 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 does return to an explosion in the dark and even more just for funny a minute buzz on sky and take a show called just put it tick on for hundreds musser. need to show one part of the show backslidden and or queen is put. in

against a dozen for it's own up snake was according to one of the seas. getting to sleep no spanking for. microsoft the next of them will go bust it would have does it do you know if. they should have bought a company's micro self-indulgent. missile fobs from sunni and be do need to. you know it's not going to be here and you know this. you know that the incident in book focuses. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy confrontation let it be an arms race off and spearing dramatic development is only

going to exist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time time to sit down and talk. it's hard to imagine decades after the war a nazi doctor was still active rich in the nineteen seventies crittle had as the chair of its board a man convicted of mass murder and slavery. a german company develops 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 is anything. you know she said is just cut short arms minix a little mind victims i have to this day received no compensation then never apologized for the suffering that not only want the money i want the revenge.

in twenty forty you know bloody revolution appear to crush the demonstrations going from being relatively peaceful political protests to be creasing the violent revolution is always spontaneous or is it your goal here. is put. the former ukrainian president recalls the events of twenty fourteen. of those who took part in this state over five billion dollars to assist ukraine in these another that will ensure a secure and prosperous and democratic. it's been seventy years since the united nations adopted the universal declaration on. human rights but in many places it remains a declaration a note a reality how to bridge the divide between criticism preaching.

and there's now a building around pretty clear in rwanda no one says terrorist. memories . twenty four years ago this country's soul a real muslim to the world. to the genocide there a moment women in rwanda the man. it fell to women to fix the broken. stock buybacks are basically corporate you know the circling of money totally in a way that doesn't reflect the business they're not in the business of except for

the business of fraud and this is rampant throughout the entire s. and p. five hundred it was that day of reckoning comes as it seems to be happening now you can see it air drop of the market down forty or fifty percent you know in a way can people like oh my god what happened well that's going to linger for years because they're engaging in massive open account of fraud. could move the troops to someplace fulfill. my little course under the syria. rolls here to say they were the business with the most to. lose the. please. help us out all the time.

ok see that was the way. to look at them on the funniest diplo it's so beautiful but just trust the fluid souls that. you are when you. look. at least.

not without. more divisions emerge in the u.s. this time over a video involving c.n.n. reporter jim acosta some claim the material has been doctored in order to justify the bombing of the journalist from the white house. saudi arabia posts a tweet in support of the yemeni children where the u.n. warns tens of thousands die every year as a result of the saudi bombing campaign. also coming up on the program this hour the syrian army rescues over a dozen also just from the. law makes state while a u.s. report reveals american aid money is ending up in the terrorist pockets there.
