[000:00:00;00] ah, ah, facebook one south and instagram set for one of the largest outages in 10 internet he straight. meanwhile, rival platform suffer technical problems as well. you to massively increased traffic on that network, then locks and the agencies the greenlight to part of russia is an old string to gas pipeline. as your grapples with soaring fuel prices, i say the situation is stabilizing. no one's going to pretend it is completely back to normal. i wish it was, but it's getting it that way. while we're to shuffle down, play that own on going fuel prices. they've now deployed military forces across the country as a petrol stations remain, trying to you to panic,

buying with keys of iron. great. john, i was waiting to philip. ah . oh, you're watching the news or not seem to national with me. you national problem. hello and welcome to the program. 3 of the most popular online services were crippled by one of the biggest ever entered outages. facebook, what's up and instagram? well, offline, for more than 6 hours. those platforms run up shad infrastructure because they're all owned by facebook. with the problem being looked around the globe from the u. k to the u. s. and here in russia, facebook now says it's happy to report that h services are coming back online. my colleague colin bray discussed asia with also contributed nico though that some people were reporting that they can open their app. now, i actually could open my app as well,

but i've actually been able to open my app since this morning. i just couldn't refresh the page and the same thing for instagram. and that seems to still be the case. i did just check to make sure and there is a casto cam refresh from anything pat with there within the last 12 hours. so i'm not exactly sure what's going on there and the facebook domain is not working on the desktop. facebook. facebook dot com is coming up at all. so i'm not sure if they're finally able to fix the issue. and i'm not sure if they even know what exactly caused it, but that's what the updates are. have been so far. i don't see any of the official channels. i mean, especially as a result of twitter in order to try and keep that customers informed about what's happening. they've given no indication as to whether this was either deliberate or just an accident. no. and so far and no one has given any indication as to whether or not this deliberate or an accident. there haven't been any allegations of a quote unquote cyber attack, at least not by those 2 companies. but hey, we are in the us. so i'm sure you give it about 10 to 30 minutes. one of the

officials will come out and try to blame, trying to rush or ran in and in a very short period of time. i'm sure. so what are people doing in the meantime about 6 hours without being able to send any messages on? what's apple communicating on facebook or uploading the pictures of their lunch to instagram or whatever it is they doing instead? so some people have, some people have twitters picked up traffic significantly. some people were joking about saying, you know, if face says facebook down of twitter goes on next and they'll be posting all their rage tweets in food pictures on tinder instead. and, and other people, of course, that have tinder goes down along with all those other 3. well, they're not exactly sure what they're gonna do with their lives. because, you know, given all the shut down and things like that, people's love life is already hanging by a thread and of tender facebook and twitter girls. and i have no idea. i any one's gonna find her soulmate. and so it's pretty hard situation. but hopefully it does get reconcile because, you know, beyond the social aspect of facebook and instagram, there is a business aspect, and

a lot of people's businesses are on these platforms and do communicate using these platforms. and it will be pretty sad to see people lose a good marketing tool. you know, we do want to see facebook held accountable, but we do want them to be held accountable in the right way. not something that hurts a lot less natural slice. and john lessons commentator chadwick more, i hello that charlie. nice to see a welcome to auntie. so, what could have caused such a massive outage around the world? what can you say? we don't know, and i don't think we're ever going to really know what happens now. it's, they're not saying right now it was a cyber attack and it doesn't seem to be pointing to that facebook. oh is a one trillion dollar company and i like these outages happen a lot. it happened in april in june of just this year. you don't see google outages or any other big tech companies. apple happening quite so frequently. so it's a bit bizarre that facebook has a problem with this. it seems to be that all of their, these properties oculus, instagram, whatsapp,

and basically all run through some sort of similar server facebook as i was sort of saying they were making upgrades and, and, and program i got locked out or something. sounds fishy. sounds really strange. how do you have the biggest internet company in the world, perhaps, and something can just blink out so quickly and there can't be more of safeguards against it. of course it is especially facebook. is that hoarsely, not trans parents, and you know, why the congress constantly. so we'll probably never find out what exactly happened or if it was a mistake. and this is just a very badly managed, logically speaking, or if it was intentional, there are a lot of questions. lots of chatter, good spirit. he's on the internet. about the timing of this. there was a 60 minute interview last night on the news bags in 60 minutes about the facebook whistleblower following. the wall street journal's reporting on her leave documents and she's a poor set test by congress tomorrow. right, and all that comes i made

a report leak of private data from one of the hub villains phase. the keys is do you think there's a connection? i mean, yeah. again, the timing is so suspicious. the fact that this is basically always a privacy problems and they always have problems there and they always go offline $1.00 to $1.00. so it's very suspicious, and it's also suspicious that facebook seems that they are problems and most tech companies with these issues. and i would whistleblowers as well, so we will see what we, you know, like i said, there's tons of conspiracy theories floating out on the internet from the more reasonable to the more outrageous. but i don't think that we're ever going to get a clear answer and, you know, look at the economic impact. this has a look at the dangers of these monopolies. if they can blink out of existence so quickly. hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue was lost in 6 hours today. with 4 basic itself, it's walk billions in the stock market. what are people who depend on these companies for their own revenue? small businesses, influencers,

news organizations. so these companies so much control, so much power, they are monopolies and look at how they can just wipe out revenue, whether the ship that was intentional or it was just the mistake. right. and how costly will this be for facebook? now i could, the company is not going to take, can patch says then it's interesting because they didn't take a shoe to step in the stock market today. in the last of what i saw, they lost maybe $7000000000.00, which is weirdly enough. nothing to facebook considering how much their work. but you know, you know, the other social media turn it up like telegrams, lot you'd like and traffic with all your psychopathic so, so i'm not sure facebook might actually lose market share of their investors probably aren't too happy. but you know, people are so addicted and hooked into their social networks that i don't know what we're really cause facebook to humble in terms of users, you know,

people or their lives are there they've been, they've been sucked into it already and they're dependent on it in many ways, right. and could that be any repercussions from the u. s. government or any other countries of the day to leak is can fund and would it be the biggest in the history of cyber security? if, if, if it, if it is confirmed, i should say, i'm not sure it seems like it might be among the biggest, if not the biggest, if it is confirmed, i wouldn't doubt this administration is going to punish been 2nd any serious way. they think that obviously a got some job on like that. they're absolutely no real in washington to rain and, you know, it wasn't too long ago 19 eighties that we had to break up, that congress was a huge congress cell phone companies. it looks like we're in a similar situation like this. the big tech spends more money than anyone lobbying washington and last administration, which was very much a, gets big tech and censorship in their tactics couldn't do anything about it. i

don't think we're to see anything happening here. there's simply to rich and simply too powerful. all right, and chad with more and john lessons come and take that child. thank you very much indeed for your insight. i appreciate it. thank you. dan monks and the change as a has clear part of russia's nills trying to gas pipeline full peroration and he is on a year of correspondence p, tony with well, we're not quite there yet, but this is a step along the way to this gas pipeline. eventually being up and running, what has happened is the danish energy agency has given its rubber stamp to the 1st string of the node stream to gas pipeline ad. that means that it is undergone air pre commissioning. it's also the hardest number of tests carried out on it, and it's passed those tests in the eyes of the, the danish energy agency. there's still some way to go yet bow before the pipeline will be open running to its fullest extent. the 2 strings were tied together in the summer of last this year. there was, of course,

much delay due to sanctions and everything that came with that at all of the, the political wranglings they are now in the past. it would seem as we're into this stage of going through the compliance and certification for the infrastructure project. and ultimately, once the 2 strings have been given the approval, they will be able to see gas flow through them. what is going to happen now with this 1st string that's been approved by the danishes that they'll fill it up with gas very slowly and gradually to essentially make sure that it takes all of those boxes as well that it can carry the load that it's opposed to the 2nd string of nord stream to well that is currently undergoing its air pre commissioning. you would imagine that once that's gotten begun that then it also goes through the ad, the certification stages, that the 1st strings being going through. eventually, when all of this is connected up, it will start the working light for this pipeline stretches over 1200 kilometers from russia into germany on a, on the,

at the baltic sea coast there. and it could pump as much as 55000000000 cubic meters of gas into germany every year. that's enough to heat $27000000.00 european homes every year. gas, of course, in high demand across europe at the moment and coming with high prices. lot of people looking to nod stream to, to wealth fill the gap when it comes to that gas and hopefully, hopefully see some of those bills go down. and as peter says, the whole european union is on the brink of an enter crisis. gas prices continue to head record highs, surging to over $1200.00 per 1000 cubic meters. and with wind to looming, there i can sense of how the block is monitoring. the crunch reporting from paris has charlotte davinsky. there is a lot of finger pointing going on as the block faces this unprecedented energy crisis. that winter crunch is looming and according to some, this is

a problem that has been years in the making. let's have a look at some of the main issues across europe at the moment. and we'll start here in france, where there has been a price increase this month of 12.6 percent in gas tariffs that follows several months of other rises. the prime minister shall cast excess, they will not be a freeze and they will not be any more increases. but of course, that doesn't mitigate the months of increases that people have already seen on their household bills. then in spain, where price is they have tripled in the last year. i mean, we know that the spanish government is made emergency measures to try and mitigate the worst impact on the poor. but small business unions are just saying, this is an impossible situation. coming after the cobit crisis. businesses just cannot take any more. and then in italy, we're price is a sector. so by 40 percent, italian government is announced to package over 3000000000 euros to try and aid

that. and then in germany, we also heard last week that one, the power plant had to completely shut up shop. and it's not the 1st time at all to do the same a number of times in september. why? well, because it couldn't get enough coal. this crisis when it comes to natural gas, has pushed more people towards buying coal, depleting those stocks as well. so it seems like this is a double whammy. so what's behind this looming catastrophe? well, the e, you cannot agree on that, but some member states see that this is a problem that he was cause itself because it's pushed too fast too quickly to move to greener energy and at the same time as moved away from fossil fuels. and essentially what it done is, is last the entire book exposed in the g price is the currently soaring across the u, and putting unprecedented pressure on both energy companies and all our citizens. when designing energy and climate policies,

we have to ensure their social acceptability. otherwise we risk their failure. well, the e u flatly denies their sit with checks. it says actually this crisis shows that the problem is there is too much dependence in the you own, of fossil fuels. and the reality is that the only way to mitigate crises like this in the future is to move harder and faster towards green energy. instead of being paralyzed, those slowing things down because of the price hike though in the energy sector, we should speed things up in the transition to renewable energy. so the affordable renewable energy becomes available for everyone. well, as the e u is scratching its head over what to do, it's also looking potentially for a scapegoat. and some have suggested that russia is to blame for this crisis, saying that it is holding back on natural gas reserves. russia says that's not the case. in fact, russia says it's willing to step up to the hour of need of it to you,

repeat neighbors and increase the supplies of gas to meet those needs. those demands. but what needs to happen for that to take place is the certification of the nord stream to pipe. this is a pipe that was completed last month and would see natural gas be able to be delivered directly to germany. but before that can happen, that certification needs to take place. that is something that you find out. some illnesses are likely to discuss this week as they meet to discuss this entire crisis. but the idea that you finance ministers are discussing bread and butter subjects like energy bills and how people are going to pay them really gives you a sense of how this crisis is. and as they scratching the heads, looking for a solution, there are tens of millions of households who are concerned about what this winter is going to bring. the difficult choices that they will have to make in detail the heat their homes or feed their families all the while. it is wondering how it will

keep the light so on and brussels based journalist luke over bay predicts that prices will soon be back to normal. and that north trim to can play a key role here. there is no lack of gas in the world. and a good example of it is the fact that the price of gas is not increased by one euro cent in the united states over the last year. but while can europe, it has increased by more than one percent over one year, which is of course a lot. so now is the time to support the customers, the consumers, the end consumers to will order a price hike. now in the winter, but by sprain, this will be finished. everybody knows that the easiest is of course, to get the gas from russia, from an old stream to. and again, there is gas, everywhere in russia is not stopping this gas from being the liver thing is that we need to finalize all stream to and it's

a matter of months at most well across the channel. there's a crisis in the balance in the u. k. as well with petrol stations, they're still running, try and angry tribe is forming huge keys, the government's deploying militia personnel nationwide to get supplies moving shadow edwards dash to reports now from london. but at this way, as day 10 now of the petrol crisis situation and the united kingdom is still seeing many cars backed up outside of petrol stations. people waiting hours to fill up that tanks and even the public transportation is being diverted away to avoid all of this, the gridlock things have gotten so bad. now, the minute tree has now been deployed and drafted in to try and get the fuel to the petrol station. i think it's also really important. we can actually call in the military at a time like this for that extra support to give that confidence and have a sense. so as a measure that's there as a precaution, because as i say,

the situation is stabilizing. no one's going to pretend his completely back to normal. i wish it was, but he says it's getting that way. so the government says that this shortage is easing the problem is get from vassar, the prime minister, also reiterating cited javits comments. just that the all the being deployed is simply a precautionary measures. now around 200 military personnel getting involved in this operation. they're trying to focus on is london and the southeast region. they argue that these are the worst affected it for myself. personally, i'm a little bit worried because in my journey, on the way to work this morning, my call was flashing red at me. meaning i need to get to a petrol station as soon as possible, but of course, i'm not the only one a tool. millions of people are now affected. in fact, it's such a hot topic that discussing the pectoral situation is as common as discussing the weather. here in the united kingdom, which goes to show just how many people affected,

particularly those people working on petrol pump stations. if you're going to fuel a 6 or 7 narrative developing peaks and troughs, one minute, one day you're, you're flucker. nearby taking returned is not normally the next day you run a fuel and they're looking for the, the things like some which isn't true. it just doesn't get sold because nobody comes, it will. the last 10 days have also be defined by a bit of a blame game on the one hand journalist of being attacked, saying that the media is really reporting on big headlines and then on the individual level as well. people pointing the finger of blame directly at those people panic, buying all of this patchwork. but can jonas the blame for simply reporting the news? no. can the public really be blamed for simply buying depleting? results is neither seems of remotely irrational, especially at the crux of all of this is the very fact that a 100 a 1000 laurie drive is how now has now had

a mass exodus at leaving the united kingdom. there are many reasons for that, particularly things like breakfast with these laurie, dr. is saying in the e u countries that they are from. so this seems to be a direct result of numerous things, particularly, like breck said, and it doesn't seem that it's going to be a quick fix for the united kingdom. donald trump is demanding that they put it surprise, board strip new york times on washington post journalists oh dab wards for what he calls the now proven fossil that russia gave coverage over his 2016 election. when, as has been widely publicized, the coverage was no more than a politically motivated force, which attempted to spin a false narrative that my campaign supposedly colluded with russia. despite a complete lack of evidence underpinning this allegation, i would expect that you will take the necessary steps to rectify the situation, including stripping the recipients of their prize and retracting the full

statements which remain on the pallets of website. reporters picks up the 2018 prize for almost to don articles linking trump selection campaign to moscow, and yet later trump demanded their watch should be rescinded. alternate instigation into the conspiracy found no evidence to the to prosecute the president. the special council's investigation did not find that the trump campaign or any one associated with it, conspired or coordinated with russia in its efforts to influence the 2016 u. s. presidential election. so concrete, her 8 at his demand to take away the award after a former clinton campaign lawyer was indicted on charges of lying to the f. b i. when talking about supposed connections between trump and russia, although the attorney has pleaded not guilty, trump believes that indictment was proven his has proven his point. unless now crossly to legal analyst, jennifer braden, jennifer, nice to see welcome to our see. so do you think it's possible to pull it surprise

board could fulfill trumps request of course is possible. it's their board is their award. it's their own website. i mean the pulitzer prize can do what it wants is their own entity. so they could revoke these awards, they could issue a statement, retracting their formal statements or former statements. it could accurately state that their prior award was based on what's clearly now been reported by actual legal sources and misinformation. so they could do all of these things, but the question is, will they do it? they could do it, but will they? and i think we know that the answer is no. because again, you know, we only know what we're allowed to hear. and so while there are outlets like r, t and others, that had tried to report extensively on the, the molar for the more investigation findings. and now the new during indictment, the i g horwitz reporting on, you know, we can try to talk about this all day long. but those kinds of voices are the ones that are kicked off or censored from social media. and of course,

i'm intermediate as a report on it. and so the, the public at large, the american public is only, is only going to feel what the mainstream media tells them to feel of the mainstream media. just completely stop talking about russia after a molar pilot. there was no ordination or collusion between russia and the trump campaign in 2016. then the american public will just think, well, i guess it really didn't happen and move on. and so, but pulitzer prize were to revoke the award and issue a statement, then that would, of course become a story and then people would now be bringing it up again while they really did live. but of course, those mentioned need. allison cells are not going to report on how just how wrong they were and how griffin atrocious it is. and with social media censoring on accurate and use an acura already, there is no way that people are going to be able to feel, you know what the media does not tell them to feel or that kind of outrage. and that's what bullets are, wants to avoid. to protect their people like the new york times, washington post. so and with that,

so much speculation being dismissed now on newspapers such as such as the washington post and new york times remaining relevant, ben you see the thing is it journalism, investigative journalism? any kind of journalism reporting is always relevant. we need that in society and inform society is the only one that can thrive or have any chance and have it at obtaining or remaining in some kind of a system of either a republic or democracy. where, where people are free to, to know information, what's going on that isn't basic journalism or reporting. the problem is in new york times and washington pose had become propaganda outlets of either the democratic party or whatever mouth piece or narrative fits their board, their owners, what we don't realize and what's now thankfully good reported work at these mainstream alice in the united states are owned by 5 or 6 corporations, 5 or 6 of the exact same entities that meet together to decide whatever narrative

they want to push and more and more like with the trump russia, a complete fabrication. it's being found that there is no substantiation to these stories. and so it's really just propaganda. the problem is because we've been in society where we have relied and we put so much faith in the stories, not only have people stopped researching for themselves, but a lot of times they'll just read headlines even if the article itself might have clarified information. they'll just read a damaging headline and so that's where it becomes dangerous, and people need to start taking more personal responsibility to research these items, these facts in depth. but no, there is no place of work for when washington post or new york times when all they can do is publish propaganda from anonymous sources. because all you're doing is creating more discord, division, and chaos with in your civil society. rather than actually reporting facts because they are not a kangaroo court. and that's if there's as guilty not guilty which they tried to

because they're there to report actual truthful facts. but instead, they become this, the sort of arbiter of what truth is, and that's not that's not attaining more so people need to start looking at that personal responsibility and how politicized on the allegations against trump concerning russia. then completely, everything has been politicized from day one. on the left social media and the media outlets tried to undermine the presence the donald trump, or the day he was elected. that's why this entire thing was politicized. thankfully with the indictment assessment and his ties to the clinton campaign. we see the john jones investigational go and i think we're true about that is going to come to light sooner than we think if the policy credible if it's been awarded for such a controversial piece. so i think people are starting to, even if they don't state or look into it much people are starting to look at these awards like say the academy awards or the any is or whatever, hollywood red carpet of what anyone does. it's just a bunch of people,

it's about our propaganda and, and word themselves for that propaganda or whatever worked better. i mean, we've seen it in hollywood so such a large majority of, of mainstream hollywood films have political propaganda messages. and, and there war themselves on the read are bit, you know, massless and everything else that they can do it. same thing with some of these mainstream journalists. and it seems unfortunate that the sort of narratives are the same were, have been the same, especially in the last few years. and that's why these, these awards are really starting to discredit themselves. because by not issuing a statement by not retracting those pulitzer prize awards, the pulitzer prize itself is saying, no, we're going to people warning people that have blatantly false information. but the clincher is this. at the end of the day, there's the old adage, if a tree falls in the woods and nobody hears it, did it actually fault the mainstream media in the pulitzer prize? want me to say no, it didn't actually box. you didn't hear it, but it did fall and that's the same thing with the molar. we're at the germ investigation. we know russia collision original. it was a lie,

but the mainstream media did not report on it when all of their anonymous sources and fabrications were found out. and so that is why that is why the, these reports themselves are becoming completely and had an antithesis to everything that we expect in journalism and reporting. and that's why we need to get that back, reclaimed that and know the full surprise is certainly not the beacon of truth that it used to complain. it was all right, jennifer braden, legal analyst and jennifer, thank you very much indeed for sharing of use with a thanking you. you're up to date. no news in about 7 minutes time, stating ah, look forward to talking to you all. that technology should work for people. a robot must obey the orders given by human beings, except where such order is

a conflict with the 1st law show your identification. we should be very careful about artificial intelligence. and the point obviously is to race trust rather than fear i would like to take on various job with artificial intelligence. real, somebody with a robot must protect its own existence with oh, when i want shown the wrong one, i just don't move any well. yes. to see out the same becomes the african and engagement. it was the trail. when so

many find themselves will depart. we choose to look for common ground. ah, ah, ah. hello and welcome to cross stock were all things are considered. i'm peter lavelle . one would think the humiliating withdrawal from afghanistan would be the start of a washington wine down of the forever wars. is this really the case? also, you tubes war on creators, and it's not only about so called cobit misinformation. ah,
