twelfth of may twenty seventh overnight a dangerous computer virus has spread around the globe want to cry is the name of the cyber criminals have given the virus was which they blackmail the 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 georgia 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 operation all. how can one single nowhere single taina sleep 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 to 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 xo almost every or thore 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 operate. system. the more complex information

technology becomes the deeper the state is trapped in the microsoft monopoly. no one knows this better than martin child will manage the german government's i t. for eight years. the burden and voice learned isn't defacto upping it from microsoft by in i understood my course of political timing is that spin is could be nigga. michaelson showing its vote as a just the dots in x. and y. does manage when the vitals are not in the soft einsatz income divide he took women to and in microsoft for human body and i love microsoft poke on the bush would send via the education and serve idea is that with microsoft's software a lot of them does you're going to unleash too i know virtual fishing up in his kite and feel satisfied and we can and let's not say no that's once he has a lot of these already present he harvest does it up any fun i'd sit in here stolen . afghan's idle admitted the two and as you well know because i'm a t.

that has been deaf a lot when i t. in the clouds as in. when the ark stay in the control is. the stuff of sinai and night ima vita and when one is off and comes. in the lab is that it's a boy or tion is it shows my ninety physicians and their brothers in the very last minute hour and he know if once on implementing the the v.v. toy as mine i t. visibility into designs of items has been a movie need outside of it. dependancy 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 operator. 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 command 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 fines 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 it was one of our daughter ainus one. other thought is i know. you are only starting going to learn any allman on the night i'll call community of the one house is. a civilian that. i please once i. leave here because agent x. on insulin as i said if you are. to get through this of adults only. microsoft's

idea of i. agree on my mind it's open tennis australia it can also be all open source of. india to propagate ourselves. if it is that's a great question but here is the software i can also argue of if unlike most of you know it it. is a difficult one of course a good business yapping as i didn't see and listen very valuable achiness try to gain it up in the face of i love to begin with and i've. seen a. microsoft percentage that was on a school killing the stupidest of it's own the microsoft it's ensley and it's all sane young only has all the content stuck on most microsoft isn't that hard and also all on its own it's going to let you have it if i don't like most of what the guy that microsoft looked at and i did it for level just out of bed on an ocean i needed. hundreds are i now i knew. this they are also all of guys and not 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 the 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 programmers discovers and closes security gaps and efficiently produces state of the art software including the world's most widely used operating systems linux and . unlike microsoft windows linux is available free of charge. any organizational administration can customize it for its own purposes without asking the corporation for commission 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 kind of i cannot even get this from the many smart folks once again that like a business i'm on the list of thousands of side windows it's a. done deal patients starting to move on that front is up in these cards and to find these they don't mention this in the new disk is going to annoy of on and again as it does a lot of others with murder later on in the at least on this is obviously it's a toilet of either of us by itself number of us. in the home. as a life of the order or incentive yet what it is to to a town. that's been soft. goals of a national. definition i guess and does this and that's my michaels of one of four us run for from one device which. is on the guns that induced the woods as the

feeder the gun into the seats and just as it's even then i'd never heard it if i had no knowledge of all invasive isn't as good let's this in your chef 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 part came from microsoft as its income. in this office has actually just industry for life and microsoft came here is so much for you. and i'm one of the best for that's really a ten mean if i saved it introduced last the human. or the aim is on that time let's move to texas etiam have been so. on as it's you all so do most of us not to mention guns in the comment and the fun also from going to because it's a. permanent vertical mental phenomena someone via tech advised to forget that some

risk is kept in permanent workflow but i know. this consider him a gun to my family doctors to. so busy ness and saying cling to us i was just on lots of fun of it so i also saw it as the same someone seen as always technology funny one upping the stuff on them like in the rush not to myself i love that i phone who was going to buy this got his business when it's a budget on the phone and i answered it i bought some tea and a cold water that. comes in and emails on then but nothing but notes and other notes as if it's on the stand until knows that someone holds a moment if i do you know if i go down that does the day in office and then support even just as a statement is in the as in for life i seen the loans on going up and then the good thing is not was their goals this big it wasn't i don't know i don't want the money going on us most of us think some research of us is and desert evokes the one for us it will depend. on and for the.

break here in rwanda the isis terrorist. memories. twenty four years ago this country song. the one. after the genocide. in rwanda. to fix the broken.

you know world of big partners. 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 back 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. because there's survival guide books they seem to start simply medical research. you don't see him. repatriations king look at the rest the seven there's. still

a separate there's kaiser report. join me every thursday on the alex simon show and i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics sports business i'm showbusiness i'll see that. it's hard to imagine decades after the war a nazi doctor was still active and rich in the nineteen seventies crittle had as the chair of its board a man convicted of mass murder and slavery at ashes the german company gruntal developed solidified a drug that was promoted as completely safe even injuring pregnancy it turned out to have terrible side effects what has happened to my baby is anything paul you know she said she's just got short arms many solidified victims have to this day received no compensation they never apologized for the suffering that. not only

want the money i want the revenge. 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 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 law. in the.

microsoft 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 and the idea. he's in some nice. gotcha nothing to. its source and fuck you fuck. you know it's expose them and often it is a stand up so good as you know you did on this photo missed in hundreds on such a big. microsoft. microsoft it's. just. you know.

it's not that simple e.u. legislation expressly. it's the preference of individual companies in public procurement as well as the use of brand names and invitations to attend 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 corning 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 attend or they usually know this that it's fine 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 tory t's 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. the sponsor of the entity in time to. my cousin i was already told they are going to sign a new contract with microsoft next year so good luck to both of you. next. week microsoft and i you already negotiating a new contract 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 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 and 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 sub optimal situation because they are so dependent on working with microsoft that they are even thinking that they can't 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 that doesn't mean that there can't disregard for human what does the procurement law exactly say on the procurement law describes. social situations in which you 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

markers of computers to the open source operating system linux since two thousand and four the project called leme works 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 fourteen 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 failure of take it to our career here as it causes passion for gale crescendo. he pitted and and 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 here grouping tom and when it does well isn't seen as truth in the answer may provide shifts bikini inducing by cancer press release them a new president in full is clearly. trying to refrain dimon is limited if he. can do it if he merely super's wilson here dunk. is to look at some microsoft thinking lies to him for the full hour go home 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. it's fitted on windows to begin to. start. according to

a survey the vast majority of city employees are quite satisfied with lee marks however the experts found that the eighty 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 it isn't touched them enough as it ought to still have a hard on with about it has got good of it and cannot be for the long as good of control room of a lot of phones and as it's been such a hit on us what's in thousand formula. very often the software in the past

presidents made in. noise for logs distinguished even for microsoft office does what it believes we have no concern for along with some converts or years of art that we don't hender. fleeing or does return an explosion that aren't even more fun if the minutes of us aren't as kind take a show called just put it tick on for hundreds musser. the. police are show abundant. and or could this put. queen against a dozen for its own ups that was accordance you wouldn't be. getting to sleep even for. microsoft sitting next to the mobile. does but you know. michael self-indulgent.

me so far from sue me and. you know snark intrusion here and you know a little of this. you know the incident book focuses on. it's been seventy years since the united nations that don't did the universal declaration on human rights but in many places in remains a declaration and not a reality how to bridge the divide between criticism preaching. the truth of. my love for something and the syria.

rolls confusing for the business with the most of. these new. problems no more than i am. our. focus in that book i know is that the bios look at the model and the funniest blog post and so much more of a show such as the fluid souls of. the moon you were doing you must. do for. i've been saying the numbers mean something they matter to us as over one trillion

dollars in debt more than ten white collar crimes happen each day. eighty five percent of global wealth you longed to be ultra rich eight point six percent market saw thirty percent rise last year some with four hundred to five hundred three per circuit first shuckin 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 one business shows you can afford to miss the one and only. when the make is manufacture consent to stick to the public well so. when the running club to some protect themselves. when the financial

merry go round lifts only the one percent. we can all middle of the room signal. going around anymore you don't even really follow. joining the boss thirty is lebanon has been subject to donors six invasions from israel. six invasions. breast exam every every five years we are having. one that's and this is definitely coming through the health of a. stock buybacks are basically corbridge you know 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 in a parent 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 kill them for years because they're engaged in massive open the telephone. in twenty forty you know bloody revolution to correct the demonstrations going from being relatively peaceful political protests to be creasing the violent revolution is always spontaneous or is it you know who could do it but i mean you know liz put video through me in the new bill is that i knew split needle the former ukrainian president recalls the events of twenty four g. and. those who took boat you've invested over five billion dollars to assist ukraine in these and other goals that will ensure a secure and prosperous and democratic.
