which pulled up took a personal opinion, was moving on the shore, still summarizing, please ah ah. top stories, the saddle serving images coming in from the gym berg or knife wielding attack. a kid was 3 and leaves and other 6 injured before being detained by penny. toppy you figures and said resist calls from european power france and germany for a political stomach with russia. bruce, it is more important to maintain this agenda on russia, ties and preserve unity as division makes us a week. he was also split on whether to force british tourist quarantine, france and germany again, leaving the course of the restrictions and piling pressure on tourist hotspots and southern europe to do the same.

ah, good evening, it's 11 o'clock. harry, moscow, you without international 3 has been killed and 6 injured and a stopping rampage in the german city puts berg, police say they have detained the attacker. a 24 year old immigrant from somalia state and terry minister did add that the man has a history of mental health issues and that terrorism was not a motive for the assault warner from all europe correspondent, people oliver, in burly. well, before we come to images that we can show you from the scene, i must warn you that there are a disturbing images coming out from the city of void, spoke in the wake of this. while this attack that has taken place. it's claimed a number of lives, the main and only suspect, please telling us in what seems to have been a rhetoric incident that taken place on friday afternoon. he was shot in the leg

and is now in custody. and what we know about him, what he's left in his way, is at least 3 people bed, according to media on the scene, what is being called a knife rampage and a pedestrian area of the city of border book, those. those images, particularly, particularly shocking use in the the, the main suspect coming face to face with a member of the public brandishing is fists trying to push back the man who has a clearly has a knife. in that footage of the said, the very much a developing story, one that will be keeping on top of getting as much information. what we can tell you from the police in the very latest is that they consider this incident to prove no further risk or the no way they looking for anybody else involved in what has happened on the streets avoid spur. but what don't seem to have happened is a number of people being reported. 3 people have been killed on friday afternoon

into friday evening. a number more 6 people were hearing, have been injured in a knife attack in the streets of the southern german city, a votes book that he has failed to come out of talk with a united position on kick, starting direct relations with russia. despite his 2 leading members, france, germany being open to a reset, i'm wanting a summit. sanctions against moscow are also discussed with the details. his shot davinsky, confirmation that that sanctions against russia by the you will not be prolong. the sanctions have been in place since around 2014 following the referendum in crimea. they normally action didn't last for about 6 months. those sanctions will continue . according to the council president, show michelle on areas such as energy, the financial and industries, as well as personal sanctions against

a number of russian individuals. well, the announcement just came out, was off. the leaders signed a joint declaration on a number of issues, including looking at relations with russia in which they suggested to the e u commission that they wanted the commission to look at the possibility of further sanctions against russia. now it did seem as if the e u was putting on the united front, but already cracks are appearing. we know that some countries like france and germany, had gone into this summit saying what they really wanted was a summit with russia to open dialogue. but that was shut down by other countries, including poland, who said that they didn't want that to take place as such. there isn't any mention of a summit in that communique, just the idea of looking at relations with russia in the future. i'm america, german chancellor still thinks that dialogue is the way forward. lucas,

i'm to see. so i don't see these talks as an idea of giving the russian president any kind of reward. i would like to remind all of us that even during the cold war there was always dialect and channels of communication are open and it's better if the commission and the council president have a channel of communication open with russia instead of individual countries going it alone because after all, we would like to have a coordinated and concerted view that is express towards russia. i believe there is no drummer in the fact that there is no consensus on arranging the summit soon. it is more important to maintain this agenda on russia, ties and preserve unity as division, makes us wico despite their comments, the commission precedent us lavonne delaine is still suggesting that europe is putting on a united front. we are right now in a negative spiral, and we need to brace for further downturn. so we agreed to push back. when russia

targets the european union on what we stands for when it violates human rights. to constrain russia, when it attempts to undermine our interests. and we will engage russia when it is in our interest to do so to achieve our goals. for example, if we talk about climate change, or if we talk about public health, we'll russia for it's part had said it was open to the idea of a summit and it also believes that dialogue is the way forward. russia also saying that he's committed to improving relations with the european block. however, the idea of moving that summit off the table as a possible way food was described as not being particularly helpful. my, the spokes person for the russian foreign ministry. the russian federation regret that you are structures evade professional dialect with moscow on the topics that caused them. concern for relations between russia and the you have been frosty for

some time. diplomats on both sides have been expelled from various countries. and of course, those sanctions have been in place for a long time as well as now that being the cool for potential new sanctions against russia. all leaders may have signed that declaration saying that they know essentially looking for summit with russia in the near future. but it is clear that some countries may decide now to go alone and do their own thing. particularly with chancellor anglo merkel saying that for her dialogue was important. and even without summit, they were other formats that could be pursued and explored brussels based on political analysts. professor john brickman does say that conflict with russia also ends up hurting the you should also look at what the boozer you're saying. we are not going to elevation we unless they give up on me or they give back can do thing,

which means that they want to have good relation to this guy coming. he sees the end of the guy and i just never up and so pretty good as be on the lead. you sort of suit a lack of diplomacy and also on the boat it's nothing. it's the generic. i don't think there is any economic passion behind that because it will be much better for them to question my call. you see my cost is more important to maintain the union, but nevertheless, i'm going to have a relationship with putting these i want to. so in fact, it just means that you have these making. that's what it means. i pretty holiday make is the face growing threat is spending best summer at home here up with germany at the forefront again is considering a 2 week quarantine for tours from the country. mid phase. the delta very there is spreading fast, but some in the you aren't happy. shoddy edwards dashti exploits. well, holidays for brits abroad may be in doubt this summer despite the u. k. joseph

yesterday announcing more countries added to the case, greenland stops. now, as the power lies totally with europe, they're quite fearful that the whole continent is almost treading on thin ice with the rise of the delta variant. and they're blaming the brits for it as a result that questioning, contemplating and considering and forcing this mandatory quarantining for any british taurus movement them on ling off in our country. if you come from great britain, you have to go into quarantine. that's not the case in every european country, and that's what i would like to see. we must be vigilant because the much talked about delta variance is coming, which spread much more rapidly than the other variance and affects people who are not vaccinated or who only have had one dose. for me, one of the issues of discussion is to be really taken coordinate to decisions in terms of opening borders to 3rd countries. so france and germany are leading that

push to try and punish britain for the spread of the dell to variant. and that also doing all the e u member states to follow suit as well, but it is raising eyebrows because yes, the indian delta variant is much more prevalent here in the united kingdom, but it's don't like it doesn't exist in those countries as well. in fact, the indian varian accounts around 70 percent of cases in some parts of the region in france, and many hotspots, like greece, spain and portugal. they still have issues themselves with the delta v r, and yet they are still welcoming brits into the country. now portugal vo says it will do anything with the e. u decides wilds. countries like spain, hence it's even prepared for a bus stuck with the block. if it tries to deny brits entry, hopefully we can begin to receive british tourists and we don't have any restrictions and tourists from the u. k. the moment they're the ones who are placing restrictions on so when they return, so out of balance,

it may seem like it makes sense to try and impose this quarantine for british tourists. however, when we cross checks, things like the testing regime here in the u. k. with other countries, it's totally in comparable. apparently the youth has testing around 10 times more people than in germany. therefore, inevitably, more people will be recorded as infected, much less so than in other countries, but not testing as much. now, visa be the u. k. testing program is of course the vaccination rollout as well, which is doing incredibly well at this point. around 43000000 people have received the dose of the vaccination with the government. still maintaining the vaccine roll out program is the ticket out of the pandemic. currently, it is down to individual e u member states to decide on the rules governing that borders. we are moving its speed throw vaccination program to help us cub this latest fair. and we will continue to have discussions with our european partners on the reopening of

international travel. but we're very confident the tar vaccination program is providing a good way forward. so pressure on europe to kick start their economy once again. and of course, tourism is very much the heart of it, but there's also pressure on the european union to have a united front. and that could see the brits are going to have some counseled again, well the show, the institute of traveling tourism told us he does expect britain to fight for it. citizens right to holiday abroad is very disappointing. germany, poland, and italy have unilaterally imposed currency and restrictions, and it is disappointing in the life of the the e u announcement of an e u digital. cobit passport, which is going to start on the 1st of july, which will enable any of the $27.00 countries or inhabitants of any of the country, 7 countries to travel with complete freedom and impunity from one country to

another. now billy went out of the you, but i would very much hope that our government would be given the fact that we've, we've got the best vaccination roll out, that our government would be pressing the you to say ok for our citizens that are, that are double jam, please, please, please can we have the same same recognition facility to travel the u. s. media have become the world's least trusted and have seen sharp falls to and views and readers according to a study by oxford university. the poll of almost 100000 people around the globe found that finland is actually left into top spot with 2 in 3, they're believing their media. by contrast, they research you said that coverage of the pandemic by us let contributed to less than 30 percent. not trusting them at the moment. i'm not collapse, does mark a massive drop in just a few years because 4 years ago, almost 4 and 10 americans still had trust in menus, organizations, journalists,

and r t host. chris hedges says that us media, i putting i put pleasing their audience above telling the truth. the commercial model of the us media is to cater to a specific demographic with the rise of the internet in all turn, it is source it. these traditional news outlets could no longer reach abroad audience because they didn't have a monopoly. and therefore they decided to go after a particular demographic. and now what you've done is pit demographic against demographic, whether it's m s, nbc fox news, cnn. they become partisan catering to their particular demographic and what it wants to hear, but often at the expense of the truth they ought to do. universe, he report confirms that americans are deeply divided on each media. let almost as

many distrust cnn as trust the left leaning network. the figures are almost identical to for it's rival m s m, b, c, m. folks, you suffers one of the worst trust ratings of all chris hedges, again says, policies around the making matters worse. it's going to get worse because the commercial model, and these are commercial enterprises depends on not only catering to that a particular demographic, but also demonizing the other demographic. well, these media outlets are designed to polarize the public because commercially, they're designed to loop back to feed back to their viewers, or listeners or readers what it is they want to hear their own proclivities, their own prejudices. and that's the commercial model that's been created. it's kind of, you know, hate versus hate. whether that's sean hannity, one side or rachel mat on the other. they all do the same thing. but it's not

journalism. it's just, you know, burlesque or vaudeville masquerading, his journalism. watching out, he began to take a quick break. now we'll be back with more stories in a couple of minutes. the russia, china relations are strong and getting deeper. we are told this is dangerous for the washington lead world. is it? why are moscow in beijing moving closer together? isn't miscalculations of the washington consensus? have anything to do with it? is that china russia a liar made in america? ah

ah ah, i use the welcome back and i ran some where the victim should no longer pay hackers the head of the f. b. i has told the us senate in the way of high profile attacks, who would discourage paying the ransom because it, it encourages more of these attacks. and frankly,

there's no guarantee whatsoever that you're going to get your data back. among other things, where the bureaus recovered most of the millions of dollars encrypted currency pay to the hack is behind. last month's ransomware attack on the colonial pipeline, the biggest ever of its kind, the instant lead to widespread fuel shortages on the east coast. and then this month, the justice department placed ransomware attacks on a par with terrorism. so lots to discuss. and we got a very good guess to do that. and i were joined by previously activists and technology expert, bill mew, and also dr. michael rectum. moment he's a retired professor of liberal studies at new york university and also the author of the book, google archipelago, the digital lag on the simulation of freedom. you buy very welcome. thanks for coming on. thank you. patients to bill. if i can start with you, the question is to pay or not to pay now the f b, i think that's a simple one for them. they say don't pay ransoms because it really that simple.

it's incredibly difficult situation for many of the companies, for those companies talk to be a difference between so valuable all not faced with going out of business. then you can understand what are some of the will buy you the ransom, and the attackers try to make it appear loose. this is the only option, or it's certainly the quickest and easiest option. but people who understand the why is that the schemes work and the way that the decryption works will tell you that it's not necessary the quickest all the easiest way, and you will be definitely left out of pocket, probably left with data problems logo you ok, we'll come on to possible solutions in a minute, but my cool what the f b i says is look, money private companies are part of critical infrastructure in the us. and of course, if you pay a ransom, you just asking to be targeted again and perhaps

a target of the companies to it's not a strong argument. i mean, the question about paying the ransom should be understood in terms of the fact that you don't have any clue who is actually that the hacker who are the cyber hackers here. and in fact, there's no way to tell because they're all using each other software. i mean, it's been revealed by wiki leaks, for example, that the cia uses software from the russian federation. so we don't even know who, who is doing the acting so entrusting them with money and hoping that you're going to get your data back to us just last cause i think and you know, the fact that the f b, i was able to recover funds for the planning on pipeline i was like curious, in my opinion, i think if these packets were so sophisticated that they're able to hack into the

databases, why weren't they sophisticated enough to protect their own money using cybersecurity themselves. but just michael, just on the point of paying around, send me a for or against that i'm against. i think it's the fault. it's a full there to do. so i think you're just sending your money into a black hole. you have no idea where it's going and who is, who's on the other end of the path bill. he brought up earlier issues you saying, look, it's not that simple and you have to look at other ways of deterring attacks. i mean, what other ways are the market we're saying? it's very complicated. it's hard to know who's doing the attacking. what can you do to deter them? what do you need to look at? what actually happened is if you choose, 1st of all you want funding best during the time. so you're actually, if you're willing to criminal enterprises, will people being backed? secondly, i think you'll, you'll be surprised say,

look in the colonial attack. they paid for boy boy 1000000 in terms of around the d correct vision so that they will give them was so slow. but when they tried, they would take 4 to decrypt data ended up restoring back and taking the approach. we'd recommend you take anyway. and instead of paying a month for each often, even if you pay the rent and you're not better off the decryption could be incredibly slow, it could be like the data could still get corrupted. what is more, something like 80 percent of those that i run somewhat hits again within a year, because if they know you're going to pay you straight to a mugs list of people that are also magically the top of everyone's target list. and on top of that, you don't know whether they've left a trojan bullying to enable them to do that sort of thing. or we've rather this one

situation, they can double in groups, your software or your data. so the, you pay one, right? so you get so far in unimed printing it and then you find you're faced with the same problem all over again. yeah, michael, lemme what can be done? the authorities have bought a big problem haven't days, or very well saying don't pay rents and but what, what can be done to protect companies? because many people would argue, look, if you put ransomware and this sort of attack on a level with terrorism, you're on a slippery slope because authorities will be able to buy on many more areas. much more previously will be intruded upon. it's very difficult balancing. what, what do you think authority should be doing? well, i mean it's a, it's almost impossible situation. once we've moved into the digital age. we have opened up the indoor bosses and they're really almost impossible to close. and no matter what kind of protection you have, it's not sufficient. there's always

a way and, and hackers will find a way they're, they're spending all their time learning all the tricks they do so. so it's almost as if the, it's going to be kind of the lateral damage of having entered a digital age in which everything is digital. and there is no way of protecting it . but it should, we be concerned about privacy is an individual or even companies when we're trying to tackle cybersecurity. if you look what happened off 911, of course everybody was consumed by fair, many, far reaching laws got past you. afraid of a similar thing here. what is our reality? we've never been on technology. we've never been so interconnected and we've never been so vulnerable and we can't ignore it. but, but this is a one way direction. we're going to be more and more reliant on technology in the future, and that we need to look well, how do we protect ourselves?

how do we come or risk? because many people are aware that these things are happening. know, taking the very necessary, sensible chapter to ensure protection to ensure prevention and also to our back, which are absolutely essential. and therefore, there are a couple of things we really need to focus on. first of all, i think it is counter productive to be able to our cyber insurance. it will tell you the run. so i think this should be out load because if you can, i had your problems just by taking out the insurance policy part just the premiums are gradually going to go up more and more. it's probably just fueled. and that brought think we need to prevent that. we also need to mandate some sort of reporting on the nature of the value of the data that we've gotten.

some areas companies are being forced to do this already. if we had a better idea of how much data it was, what value it, how do we need to put a value on it? then we actually might suddenly become aware of bowman realty, in the amount of our data value. this is riskier, we need to draw the risk awareness in order for the board level decision we made to put in place the sensible requirements that we need to know. so training in terms of multi factor authentication in terms of backups, really, very straightforward stuff that is actually going to put you all better position to prevent and then respond. so any one of the talks? no, i mean, it's a good point, isn't it michael? many things can be done at a very low level at a very simple level. just 3, for example, can be very simple things to protect yourself on the internet. but when you look at some of the hacks, it really is incredible. the sort of passwords they use, etc, seem to be very simple. it seems strange to me, the, the f b i goes in, it's such

a high level when it could go in educating people about security or, or is that a my missing the point where you were brought up the question of privacy. and i think that's of an, a very important one, and i hope that the f, b i and the c. i don't use this as a pretext to further intrude upon our privacy as you were asking about before. and this would be an issue. i think our privacy can be protected and that means our data, but it's going to take, i think, some new technology for frankly, the brakes are yeah, there are low level technologies right now. that can be used to help to some extent . but i think it's going to take him technological breakthrough, frankly, perhaps a paradigm shift to, to surmount this particular difficulty that we're in just wrap up

bill, but last 30 seconds, do you think there's a public appetite just to accept everything that sort of authorities tell us we need to do to, you know, ensure own previous that, sorry, our own protection on the internet. do you think people we concerned about seeing their sort of their own rights and privacy rights, being eroded? i think we've seen with g d. p r, a massive threshold has been reached, where people are suddenly massively where the privacy and i think that as such as open a door, right? so that we don't go back. people are going to be far more exacting about what companies and what do about nothing. that is a good thing. but this is separate from the security issues where a lot of people all sufficiently risk with the way that they run the companies that they run their own personal technology in terms of putting in place the necessary protect your technology do exist to put for really sensible protection in that

direction, but not enough. companies are taking it seriously. there was a complete lack called cyber awareness in terms of the real risk buildings. everyone, michael, would you go along with that? what could really help is basic education? yes, i think extensive education would be the 1st step. indeed i have to concur bill. okay, well look on that and i will leave it. we appreciate your time saving, but that was bill you previously, activists in technology square. no to that was talk to michael rec to moment he's an ortho river, google archipelago, the digital give lag on the simulation of freedom. thanks for coming on. thank you . i'm thank you for watching. just coming to half 11 in moscow. back again at the top of the me

a me with the hello and welcome to cross off. were all things considered? i'm peter lavelle. russia china relations are strong and getting deeper. we are told this is dangerous for the washington lead world. is it? why are moscow in beijing moving closer together? did the miscalculations of the washington consensus? have anything to do with it? is the china russia alliance made it america? ah, the cross talking.
