join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics sports business i'm showbusiness i'll see that. politicians do something to. put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected . so when you want to be president or injury. or something i want to. have to go right to beatrice dislikable for three in the morning can't be good. i'm interested always in the waters about how. this should be. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy on sunday shouldn't let it be an arms race based on often spearing dramatic to follow through

the only personally i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical of time time to sit down and talk. twelfth of may twenty seventh overnight to dangerous computer virus has spread around the globe want to cry is the name the title 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 royal network torture 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 mold. how can one single mold where simple tenuously paralyze 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 orthe or 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 id for eight years. and boyish and isn't defacto opting is for microsoft. microsoft dying as it stands could go guns when you go. microsoft. just adults and if someone does manage with the vitals and the skills to einsatz income to go mental in microsoft or even body and. a lot of microsoft put

on the bush woods and why the education and serve idea is that with microsoft's software a lot of them does he do it naturally to i know virtue of its not being it's kind of things outside of identification and that's not what's he know that's once he has a lot of these already has in his harvest does it up any kind fun i'd sit in here the land. of dines idle admitted the two on his you on the exam night he has been developed for ninety in the cloud as a. stay in the control is. the status in the sinai ignite ima vita and one is of and comes. in the lab is spiritual or tion is it shows my ninety six years into their brothers in the village and you know if it's on implement and they did the veto yes my naivety to believe and it is i know it's either as has been a movie needles that. 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 command show hello world as taught in every beginner's programming course the same commands translated into machine code looks like this. microsoft makes. 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 text returns to finance close to the state administration's large 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. saw. just as they did i miss that he said was one wasn't our fault i missed one then the

other thought is i know i'm so good as an eight hundred start a going to win any woman on a commune community got to be one houses. for the civilians and it's anything i wanted. a little conventional x. on leans on as. well as if you could prove this if adults had microsoft of i. agree on my mind it's open tell us off and all will be all open source of it but i see india is a pop it into software if it is the great question what is the software i can also are there for microsoft when as you know it is very few it is here and it was a difficult one of course the business yapping is trying to get its young listen before little machine or study game is happening on files of all of them in india and are up to a certain. things if i microsoft percentage that was on a school killing a sequence of i. that microsoft it's enslin that's all that's all that's what's at

stake and most microsoft isn't that hot and also all intel is going to this year if i don't like what's up with the guy that microsoft event i did it for level just out of. hundreds i know i knew. this day and age they are also on identity. 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 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 organization or administration can customize it for its own purposes without asking a 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 a not even dip this from the many smart folks once they've done that like a business i'm on the list of thousands of side windows it's the most done nish. patient start on that front is up and he's tried some to find this a don't be disunited this is going to annoy a ban and again as he does a lot of others with. me at least on this is obviously it's a toilet's of either of us gets out number of us and doesn't. home.

as a life of the order or incentive yet what it is to to a town. that's been soft under goals of investment and is doing this i guess and does this and then does my michaels of one of four of us run for from one device which. is going to guns in the us to the woods as if either the gun into the seats and just as it's even then i never heard it is if i am on his valuables it isn't as good let's this idiot the chef time buys. today open source programs can easily compete with microsoft products as the company open exchange shows. he's a software designer just council office parkade 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. introduce less the human. mind is that time let's to move to texas etiam have been so. on as it's all so divorced of us not to mention guns in the comment in the phone also from my son a bird it's a. permanent vertical mental phenomena someone via tech advised to forget that someone 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 evidence i also saw this team some unseen i was technology for this one upping the stuff on them like in the us not to my small but up front of me that's going to buy this got his business when it's a budget on the phone and i'm sort of argentina called what i have awful and i'll call. him is on then but not think i'll end up with what's enough and it's as if it existed and he owns out some of the moment if i deem it was

a good dom it does the d.m.v. office or supports even just as this isn't the as in for life i seem to alone is on going up and then the good thing is not as their goals this big. doesn't on on the one on ones from on on on on us most of us think some research of us is and desert evokes some from one of us it will spend. that money on and for the. politicians to. put themselves on the line. to get accepted or rejected. so what you want to express. want to be rich. but you going to be close it's like that before three of the people. interested always in the water.

the ship. could move through the streets of the space while. i look for something. in the course of business with the most of. these names with. a lot of fellows a lot of shall bust out albums i am. not . the case

in that book i know and that can be a bios to look at them out on the funniest diplo is most of it's own for most of the show such as the flu and so almost playroom you were doing in. the book. i've been saying the numbers mean something they matter the us is over one trillion dollars in debt more than ten light colored crimes happen each day. eighty five percent of global wealth you longs to be all for rich eight point six percent market saw a thirty percent slice 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 one distance shows you can afford to miss the one and only boom

bust. 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 were. it 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 allow 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. he said. he'd be on. this is all it's going to fit in full. and hides in his. sleestak stuck in the. he's and some nice. dodge no. sauce and fuck you fuck. you know it's experimental often a. good as he knew you did on this photo missed him pundits on fatigue and.

microsoft. microsoft it's an inability to. 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 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 death does 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 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 not know now we are going to meet. this month a month of the empty inside it with. my cousin i was already told. they are going to go on to do concerts as much as a text so good luck to go to. the. next hero of the contract with microsoft and you already negotiating a new contract to germs the plan is to go for a negotiated procedure with microsoft for the desk top layer. and for call 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 like that are different procedures foreseen by the procurement rules and of course the 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 we'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. 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 of 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 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 beastliness he walks am i. even went into it. and this man and i had business meeting who took me on this is i'd normally get on by. police and i was killing this whole gulf make it appear as

it causes passion for gale pushed into. the pit and is undone 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 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 menu. 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 some 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 who it was last august. it was lockers to go to. its fitted on window 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 i t. was poorly many. 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 heart and that about as good of it and cannot defend the school. as kid on children of it 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 for microsoft office does what they believe they have no guns and for long as a convert or a dose of art that we don't hender be dominant in fleeing orders for an explosion that aren't even more funny minutes but aren't as kind take a show called just put it tick on for hundreds musser. need to show bundle of excellence. and order to the. queen gets a dozen fencing ups that was acquitted so you wouldn't be. getting this lino spanking from. microsoft or something that makes them mobile go bust it would it does but

you know it's going to be shown in by a company microsoft and god sent. me so far out from sue me and will be didn't need to monotonously you know it's not going to and you know so without this. you know the incident book focuses. in twenty forty you know bloody revolution to crush the demonstrations going from being relatively peaceful political protests to be creasing the violent revolution is always spontaneous or is it just no war here i mean your list put in the new bill is that i'm new school in need of the former ukrainian president recalls the

events of twenty fourteen. those who took part in this state over five billion dollars to assist ukraine in these and other goals that will ensure a secure and prosperous and democratic. during the past thirty years lebanon has been subject to six invasions from israel . six invasions at practically every every every five years we are having. one and this is definitely the kind of thing to help leverage. it's hard to imagine decades after the war a nazi doctor was still active rich in a not in seventies kryten tell had as the chair of its board a man convicted of mass murder and slavery at ash was a german company developed thalidomide

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 minix a little mind victims i have to this day received no compensation they never apologized for the suffering that not only want the money i want the revenge. i've been saying the numbers mean they matter you have over one trillion dollars and. more than. ten point zero zero or more in tempe each day. eighty five percent of global wealth you long 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 that one rose to twenty thousand dollars. china's building two point one billion dollars a i industrial park but don't let the numbers

overwhelm. the only numbers you need to remember is one one doesn't show you know for two minutes one can only. play. leap.
