twenty thousand dollars. china's building two point one billion dollars ai industrial park but don't let the numbers overwhelm. the only number you need to remember is one one just shows you can't afford to miss the one and only boombox. twelfth of may twenty seventeen overnight a dangerous computer virus has spread around the globe want to cry is the name of this type of criminals have given the virus was 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 the edge of bond 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 mode. how can one single know

where single tenuously paralyzed companies hospitals and even intelligence services all over the world beyond three 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 orthe

already from the townhome 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 martin child who managed the german government's i t. for eight years. the burden and voice learned isn't defacto upping it from microsoft in microsoft product and is that in its control guns when you go. microsoft is that stored as a dust adults and if somebody does manage on the vitals and on the soft einsatz income variety to quintile in microsoft or human body and i love microsoft poke around the bush would send why question and serve idea is that with microsoft's

software a lot of does he do it naturally too i know the virtue of hitching up in his kite just by the end of a can and that's not what's he know that's once he has a lot of it is already present he harvest does it up any fun i'd sit in he has to learn. afghan's idol admitted the two on his you on the exam. devil are on i t v cloud as a. state in the control is. the status in the sinai of ninety ima vita and one is of an cancer. in the lab is that it's a boy or tion is it shares my ninety physicians and their brothers and everyone at our destination or if it's on implement and the the veto yes my naivety to believe and is an answer of itas has been moving outside. 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 sas 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. simply plea of the mercy of the manufacturer for better or worse. most citizens data from text returns to finance through the state administration smarts data centers. we visit one of these top security service parks in hamburg the exact location of which we are not allowed to reveal let alone film. however the fences and locks are no protection against the open flank microsoft. still. does as they say and is that he said was one the standout i thought i knew this one then the other part is i know i'm so good as an eight hundred started going to learn a new woman on

a commune commune think of the man houses the status of i don't feel it as millions of its energy in my dreams one side effects of. an evil convention and next on insulin as it starts at the job. to get through this of a total have microsoft city often have i. met mines adds up in tennis austria and all over the all open source software is good but i see indian music. it is that's a great question why the stuff here is obviously the software can also are on microsoft's one head in order to reverse. this idea and it was a defacto watercourse of them to business yapping is titled see and listen we've seen a study again with happiness and confides a file of them in india and are up being called a scenic route by selecting still time microsoft percentage that was on a school killing a sequence of its own the microsoft eight cents in a little saying young only has all the content stuck on most microsoft isn't that

hot and also all of the gen is going to let you have the device on microsoft for the kind of limited microsoft product event i needed for level just a bit on an ocean i needed. a new hundreds are i now i new rooms cool too and you may have a smoke unless they are. naish there are also all of the identity of the social. these alternatives have been around for a long time they're based on a 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 programmers discovers and closes security gaps and efficiently produces state of the out software including the world's most widely used operating systems linux and. 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 that even if the straw man is not as markets once they've done that like a business i'm one others of theirs is not of their own windows its in the end was done nish the ovation started it was a stain on all the funnies up and his cards on the file is a don't miss this in and it is going to be the night of on and again as he does a lot of others with murder later on in the at least on this is obviously it's a toy on the right and sounds of us that gets out there the tiger both of us and us and our bond and i give it the home is us your thoughts ideas with of i as

a life that border on incentive yet what as two to one vote as a ton and a heart as data that's been soft as almost under us has led to calls of investment in status definition i guess in the us these is not by. one of or yes one for for one device this job and it is on the guns that interest the woods is that either the gun into the seats and just as it's even then. it is very valuable as if this isn't it but that's the idea the shaft 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 that's actually just an industry for life from microsoft has so much. and i'm one of the best that's really a to mean if i. introduce less the human. mind is on

the time an issue let's move to texas etiam have been so kind of. has its you all so different of us not to mention guns in the comment in the phone also from my son a bird it's a. vertical mental phenomena someone via target is to forget that some. escaped and permanent workflow meant 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 is the same someone seen as i was decked out funny when i finished up from them again the national demise none of that up front of me that's good but it's got its business and its a budget on the phone and i answer that argentina call what i have ordered for the . only steal it comes in on the internets than callin the dog but that's enough and it's as if it's just a sting and. moment if i demons i get damaged as the dean of the support and that is this is the as in for lived i seen the million alone on benefit in the good

thing is not as their goals if they give us it wasn't an unknown unknowns about going on and was. just going to church after and there's a vaccine for one for the woods and it is yas that morning on and for the. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy foundation let it be an arms race in this on off and spearing dramatic development only closely i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time time to sit down and talk.

with the troops to sleep while. my little course on the syria. rolls going to say i support a business with the most authority because. this is new with. a lot of slow slow slow slow slow motion i am. ok see that because the way that nobody else to look at the model you punish diplo it's most folks from the show such as the flu it's almost a. moon neutral when you. move.

it's hard to imagine decades after the war a nazi don't it was still active rich in the nineteen seventies crittle had as the chair of its board a man convicted of mass murder and slavery at auschwitz 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 paul you know she said is just cut short arms many so they don't mind victims have to this day received no compensation they never apologized for the suffering that not only want the money i want the revenge. in a world of big part of the new law 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. 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 crime tamping each day. eighty five percent of global wealth he longs to be ultra rich eight point six percent market saw 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 numbers you need to remember is one in one business show you can afford to miss the one and only. the use of open source software has long been standard practice for private corporations. the global giants of the digital economy. such as facebook google 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 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 deal. he's in some nice. sauce and fuck you fuck. you know it's expose them and often it is so good as you know you did not miss photo missed in hundreds on fatigue and. microsoft. microsoft it's.

just. you know. it's not that simple e.u. legislation expressly prohibits the preference of individual companies in public. procurement as well as the use of brand names and invitations to tender a lawyer specializing in i.t. and public procurement mature 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 attend or they usually know that it finally its 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 and now we are going to meet. the sponsor of the empty inside. michael sam 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 to 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 they don't that are different procedures foreseen by the picture of materials and of course the procedure is open courseware tender but then the negotiated procedure is a procedure that exists in the rose. 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 optimal situation because they are so dependent on working with microsoft that they are even thinking that they. function without the microsoft software it says more about their own organization then. the topic of law because it basically means that they have no problem they have to fix but it doesn't mean that their current disregard for human law what does the procurement law exactly say well the procurement law describes. so well 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 mayor christian 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 lehman was considered a grey. 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 still use the works am i. 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 as it causes

passion for gale pushed into the don't and this and done in the final debate the mayor rejects the arguments of the opposition about independence and data security with the linux system and our news in his closing words in a very personal way how this must be he could return 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 sitting down. is to look at the microsoft he can listen to him for the full article distortion concerns it's not mentioned in these i had four hundred give distances to get to stupidity even if it was youngest was no it was

over the last just as bills were eighty it was lockers to go to consort to secure its fitted on window to begin to. start. according to a survey the vast majority of city employees are quite satisfied with lima. however the experts found that the eighty 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 is that. 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 hard on it about it as good of it and cannot be for the long as. a lot of these are phones and as if you don't switch and hit on 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 we have no guns and for lughnasadh converts or years of art that we don't hender to be dominant in fleeing or does return to an explosion in the dark and even more just for fun if the minutes of us aren't as kind take a show called just put it tick on for hundreds musser. it's. pretty easy to shove under the leadership. and order could this put you. against a dozen fencing ups that was accordance you were going to seize. this lino spanking for. microsoft something that makes them both. does but

you know. you shouldn't buy companies microsoft didn't. know. me so fought for and sue me and. you know it's not going to he and you know so little of this. you know that the incident book focuses. on twenty forty you know bloody revolution to the demonstrations going from being relatively peaceful political protests to be creasing the violent revolution is always spontaneous or is it still or here i mean you know liz put video it's really really neighborly is that i'm you pulling me to the former ukrainian president recalls the events of twenty four. of those who took. this to do over five billion dollars to assist ukraine in these another ensure

a secure and prosperous and democratic. politicians to. put themselves on the line they get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president. some want. to go right to be approached this is what before three in the morning can't be good. i'm interested always in the waters of my house. question. it's been seventy years since the united nations adopted the universal declaration on human rights but in many places it remains a declaration and not a reality how to bridge the divide between practice and preaching.

i've been saying the numbers mean something they matter you have over one trillion dollars in debt more than ten white collar aren't happy this. eighty five percent of global wealth you want to be ultra rich eight point six percent market saw 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 one business show you can't afford to miss the one and only boom but. it's hard to imagine the decades after the war a nazi don't tell was still active rich in the nineteen seventies current intel had

as the chair of its board a man convicted of mass murder and slavery at auschwitz a german company growing until it develops a little mite a drug that was promoted as completely safe even during pregnancy and it turned out to have terrible side effects what has happened to my baby is anything ball. she said is just cut short arms are many samit of mind victims i have to this day received no compensation and never apologized for the suffering that i did not only want the money i want the revenge.

heads of state from around the globe gather in france to mark the son territory of the end of world war one one hundred years ago today the guns of the war fell silent for a. crucial midterm elections entrenched the deep divisions in the u.s. over trump's presidency it's a split town as the democrats seize the house and the republicans hold on to their senate majority we break down what it all means. for the midterms keeps on coming with women in texas slammed for betraying feminist values after voting in favor of the republican candidate. i'm very tired of being castigated.
