one who falls in love with people like what? mm hm. is our top headlines here, one out into national facebook stuff was one of the worst and alpha juice in his history. for 7 hours, millions of people were disconnected from the world's biggest social network, along with the instagram and what's up ultimately providing a glimpse of a world without big tech. and another set book for facebook whistleblower reveals her identity off to palm shells leak suggesting the company prioritized profit over its users safety shopping. revelation in france. as a probe reveals more than 10000 cases of child abuse in the catholic church, dating back to 70 years, and an independent commission will be releasing its findings later today. and

europe. energy crisis, deeper with italy bearing the brunt record gas prices have left many just unable to pay that bills. oh jeremy, i really shocked i'm aware of what is going on and i have to say we are upset, an absolute shame italian state instead of protecting it citizens does exactly the opposite. it has raised the tariffs of goods such as electricity and gas. what a shame ah, it is tuesday, october, the 5th, and now just after 8 am here and most are from the entire r t news team. a very welcome to you. i'm rural restitution. almost 7 hours without facebook. what's up and instagram, and almost $7000000000.00 of losses for seo mob. zach

a bug. a facebook services have now come back on line off to global outage. and n s. a whistleblower edward snowden took the opportunity to imagine what life would be like without the social media giant. the internet joins go a flight today and never return. what happens tomorrow? a golden age dawns or collapse and we dine on rats. twitters picked up traffic significantly. somebody were joking about saying, you know, if face to face one 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 going to 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 of people. journalist and our common had a chadwick. more question is why it's always facebook that faces problems of this kind. facebook is a one trillion dollar company and these outages happen or what it happened in april in june of just this year. you'll see google outages or any other big companies, apple happening quite frequently. so it's a bit bizarre that facebook a problem with this. it seems to be that all of their properties oculus, instagram, what's happened based on all run through some sort of similar server. facebook is now sort of saying they were making upgrades and, and program or gotten locked out or something. sounds to she sounds really strange . the fact that there's always privacy problems and they always have problems and

there and they always go offline, they got one. so it's very suspicious. it is almost that facebook seems that bigger problems than most tech companies with issues and, and i would whistleblowers as well. i cannot get back, this has a look at the dangers of the monopoly if they can blink out that existed so quickly . hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue was lost in 6 hours today to these companies. so let's control so much power. they are monopolies and look at how they could just wipe out revenue whether they said that was intentional or that was just a mistake. let's get the full story now. artes eager as dana for joining us here on this tuesday morning. great to have you in the studio today eager. 2 you know, it was a huge disruption for facebook, but ultimately, you know, at one point last night i opened up my phone. i went on to social media. nothing worked. it was like the world had gone quiet. i know it's like getting into the silence chamber and you know, and finding yourself there in a bubble of nothing that's literally of technical you know, nothing,

nothing. there's no notifications, no whatsapp, no facebook, no instagram, like notifications. also all sorts of all sorts of stuff. but indeed we are, you and i coming of one of the longest, literally one of the longest will downtimes in all of history. and it wasn't just facebook, of course, and it says to services, it went far beyond that. so essentially, essentially it was, it was, it did not go quite unnoticed because right now it may seem that it is all fine apart from mugs about losing a fortune on this, on this outage. but well, it didn't take it, it wasn't easy bringing things back to speed, for example, because when or everything went down, it wasn't just facebook cape and it says to services like what's up instagram and so on and so forth. apparently the outage was so bad that it messed up the internal security systems in the building, in the facebook headquarters or wherever their servers are. so engineers when they woke up and they would, when they try to get into the building, they woke up to find out that their magnetic passes, their electronic cards,

they stopped working. so they simply, the physically could not get to the service to fix the problem. so the actually had to use a power, so of all things, a grinder to physically get to the service and manually re re boot and restart them . and after literally hours of radio, silence from mugs, zuckerberg, he released this statement, have a listen. facebook, instagram, whatsapp and messenger are coming back online now. sorry for the disruption today. i know how much you rely on our services to stay connected with the people you care about. well, it did take him a while to release this statement. i don't know. maybe he tried to put it out on facebook of all platforms when it was down. well, we'll never know, i guess. but along with facebook, as a said other services which used well, facebook's infrastructure not the not the website, but just it's service. for example. they went down as well from netflix, to zoom, to all sorts are well to even airline websites to bank apps. and the list literally

goes on and people could not understand what was going on. so the stalks of i t companies of big tech companies, not necessarily facebook, apple as well, for example, they took a huge plunge. so the last, the last a lot for, for one day in their value. but it wasn't this, this dark cloud wasn't without it. so the lining at least for one company, because telegram apparently, which wasn't using any of this facebook service, it was performing surprisingly well. so in those hours of the representatives of telegram, they really reveal that some fight, some $50000000.00 new uses, joined that messenger, and it almost went down as well. but not because of the problem with facebook. but because of how many new uses it was, well, it was, it had to accept and registered will process. so it was, it was quite good for taylor of wood telegram. but this whole situation, it really, it really reveals how much and how,

how many big big companies rely on one company's infrastructure. and so if something goes wrong with it, then, well it takes down, along with, with itself a lot of other companies and businesses. millions of businesses rely on facebook now and many other many others use facebook in order to, to connect to other apps. it sends a huge warning across the bile because here we have a major social network site. but you know, this shows us the extent to which we rely on digital technology across the board. and cyber attacks of sorts can bring down whole systems. and facebook is just one. it's a social networking platform, but a lot of businesses as we've said, relying on it. but imagine a much more intrinsic infrastructural, so attack, i'm not saying this was a, a cyber attack. in fact, i have a theory about what happened. but ah,

this shows you the fragility of the entire digital infrastructure that we're relying on. so again, i want to underline one simple fact. this outage wasn't a result of some malicious intent. it was just an innocent technical full just some you know, that facebook was trying to update its algorithms as to how data travels through its data centers may be optimized that and well, something got messed up. so imagine the scale of a problem that we'd have on our hands and that facebook might have on its hands if it was a malicious intent. if there was a planned and carefully carried out cyber attack on its servers, then, well, the fallout could have been well, astronomically big, incredible house such a simple outer outage at the end of the day can affect so many people around the world on his acres down off, i'm sure i'll talk to you again soon. thank you. well, facebook insist that the service outage does not lead to any disclosure of any user data, but it is an additional setback just weeks after

a form of product manager claimed facebook knowingly allows uses to spread to hate and misinformation while covering tracks our guests gave us their fuse on the story . but what's interesting about the leak documents of the wall street journal published is that they show quite clearly that facebook is in decline and knows it's in decline. and so you see all these desperate measures of attempting to attract pre teens and children, i mean even children. so there is a kind of convergence of several bad instances. i mean, not just to shut down, but to any trust effort to break it up, coupled with now what these lead documents show is and understanding by facebook officials, that crest of the wave is now headed downwards. that facebook is not infallible. and what's up is definitely not infallible. what's that also came under scrutiny because there were reports that even though they claim that the user messages were encrypted,

that they were actually sending some user data to authorities in order to help with different types of prosecution. so if there's a message to take away from this, i think it is absolutely that we should be very skeptical of the claims that facebook whatsapp, your, all the subsidiaries are making about their ability to keep your, your data private. because clearly it seems like they can't, at least for the moment i keep their sites even online. the facebook whistleblower who leaked the bombshell internal documents has revealed her identity and her 1st interview, she slammed the tech john for putting a premium on hateful device. if on polarizing content, there were conflicts of interest between what was good for the public and what was good for facebook. on facebook over and over again shows optimized for its own interests, making more money. but francis hogan joined our facebook so civic intention, integrity too much, i say that was 2 years ago. taken the job on the condition that she would be allowed to work on combating misinformation. but she left the firm early this year,

and she took with her copies of internal memos and documents later leaking them to the media and handing them over to police. now she shared a series of documents with the wall street journal, which then publish them over the last 3 weeks. now, according to other whistleblower, the so called a facebook files proved that the company prioritized growth over safety. the fall show that the rules for content posting are different for celebrities. politicians on high profile uses, the former employee branded facebook's response to flagged information about human trafficking as quote week. and the revelations also suggest facebook knows it's instagram app is extremely harmful for teenagers, but has done nothing about it. and we discussed facebook's internal priorities with journalist and commentator a justin robert young. internally at facebook. there is a lot of question asking of exactly whether or not they're on the right side of history, let alone whether or not they are doing good in their day to day jobs. they are an

ad sales company. they are there to do whatever you want them to do, so they can show you ads in between. it is the goose that laid the golden eggs for them. what facebook cares about is being able to give you the most amount of things that you are going to click on. because they know by their metrics that the more that you click and the more that you comment and therefore are waiting to see of somebody else, comments. the more that they are going to be able to show you ads. in the intervening time, facebook has denied claims of inaction on harmful content and misinformation. the company started continues to make significant improvements and tackling that problem. long running probe and france has uncovered at least $10000.00 cases of child abuse at the hands of catholic clergyman. as i did today, commission will be releasing its findings, dating back 7 decades. sharla dubin ski reports from pears. the lid only

decades of abuse by the catholic church in france is about to be blown wide open following scandals in other countries. an independent commission was set up pare it spent 2 and a half years investigating the clergy hotline opened in 2019 and it received more than 6500 calls from those who were victims of abuse or witnesses to it. the scale is horrific. noon noon from 1950 to 1970. the church is completely indifferent to the victims. they don't exist. the

suffering inflicted on children is ignored. mm. while the full details of the report won't be released until late on tuesday, it's expected to seriously sent shock waves through the vatican. it will have the effect of a bomb. this report will show the collective responsibility of the church. we will finally have figures on the scale of the abuse collected scientifically. we have been waiting for this for years. some french priests have already been tried for abusing children, including bernard prey now now $76.00, he was found guilty last year of abusing boy scouts. his victims were aged between 7 and 14 accusations that go back to 1991. but the church allowed pri not to continue teaching children for his crimes. he was sentenced to 5 years in jail. the

head of the independent commission says d of 22 cases have been reported to the police. 40 of the cases have been flagged up to the church where some alleged offenders are still employed. however, for the majority of victims, there may be no redress 9 out of 10 people cannot get justice because the statute of limitations has passed or the perpetrator has died. financial compensation has been suggested as an option by the french catholic church, but for victims a me amount of money will never be able to repair the damage that they suffered at the hands of peter files often protected and hidden by the church itself. charlotte, even sky r t. paris, while the french catholic church has not directly commented on the upcoming report, but it did post a prayer on twitter, on behalf of the victims. well,

natural gas prices are still edging up in europe after hitting an all time record of $1200.00 per 1000 cubic meters. italy is one of the worst effected as it relies on gas, more than 2 thirds of its energy needs. and people there have been hit by soaring bills and the fear that is just the beginning are determined. i am really shocked, i am aware of what is going on, and i have to say we are upset, an absolute shame the italian state, instead of protecting it citizens, does exactly the opposite. instead of saving the citizens already condemned by the cove in the pandemic. despite this general economic crisis, it has raised the tariffs of goods such as electricity and gas. what a shame, the increase in electricity, gas, and petrol is 40 percent. i would say it is too much. many people have lost their jobs. many people have been penalized by the pandemic will have great difficulties . it will not be easy. what a drama about the future i see is quite bleak,

negative. i would say that if things do not improve, there is a real risk of a social revolt. people are tired if they can't even pay these bills, things will get worse and worse, there are basic goods. you can't pay for gas or electricity that much. i fear that very bad things could happen. people could become violent from them. italy's government has warned that electricity bills could rise 40 percent over the next 3 months, and the prime minister has an out $3000000000.00 euros of sub subsidies to keep gas and electricity bills down this winter. however, experts warn it won't be enough, and many citizens want much more drastic intervention. a go out of what i busy, what i mean, the government should increase subsidies for the people. i mean, it should help people who has no money over it should make a policy not to raise these rates, but i know it's too late. now. this was the very difficult situation where we only have one salary and we will have to make many financial sacrifices or it will not be easy. we are very worried. we will have to give up little things that maybe we

did before, like going out for dinner and some holidays and some gifts. we'll have to give it up to pay for these increases. it's not fair, but unfortunately we can't do anything else. water, 40 percent increase, it's much more than what we paid before level let. i hope things improved, but i'm very worried when you, but i mean, the funny part here at moscow in the wake of breck said some in poland, a wondering whether they should follow the you case example and had for the exit a war source guaranteed locked in a series of disputes with the e. u. peter oliver has the story. politicians from the ruling law and justice party in poland talking about the country's future in site the european union. some even suggesting the potential of a polk set time for an honest assessment, whether the british path is better for poland. poland thought the german occupies in the 2nd world war it fought the soviets occupiers. we will also fight the

brussels occupies with warsaw and brussels bumping heads over rule of law in poland . the polish constitutional court may well be set this week to rule that it's domestic law, supersedes that of the european union. the problem for the firebrands and polish prime minister mateusz. moreover ski 40 is that while saver, ruffling about the country's willingness to remain in the you may send out the message they want. it doesn't strike a popular court with the polish people almost 90 percent of those polled. busy said that they are in favor of you. membership supports risen steadily over the last 18 years. poland has the lowest levels of unemployment in the e u. it's the 3rd most attractive member state for outside investment and inside the block it's an important supplier to others. here's what people have to tell are see, it's better if we stay in the european union. bond is one of the most subsidized countries in the e u. so by making our contribution to the

e budget and what we can get out of it, as well as receiving funding for various projects, this is a better option for us. we gain more than we lose. if the european leaves dresses for european integration and a creation of a united states of europe, we should think carefully about that because the policy of some french, german governments, but also the european commission towards poland, his harmful to us and cause his losses for us. we must be ready to implement our own bold exit plan. if such a departure would be necessary for us. nobody wants to leave the european union. if someone says they want to leave the you, they probably lost their mind. a lot has changed. our country looks different thanks to the you, but this union should love us to. currently it's been keeping us on the side. it's a bit distasteful opposition. activists don't think there's any real plan to take poland out of the a. you does own justice bicycle, hit the wall if it keeps escalating the dispute with the you. as soon as money's involved, ideology takes a backseat and there's plenty of

e. u. money already involved. warsaw is the largest beneficiary of the e u. cohesion fund. and it's set to receive 75000000000 euro over the next 6 years . add to that tens of billions in subsidies and cheap loans and the idea of warsaw quitting the u. club looks less and less likely. all of that is at risk. if poland continues to fight the european union on the rule of law case, warsaw hasn't received its covered aid money yet, while some other member states are already spending there's. that may be why the prime minister is putting himself over in a far more diplomatic fashion than some of his m p's on this issue. i think we will be able to clear all doubts without create an unnecessary tash and here, of course, there is no talk of pol exit while. glancing over to the united kingdom, the only country to leave the e u club may provide more of

a cautionary tale and been careful what you wish for than any shining example of sunlit uplands. upon leaving the european union, peter oliver r t. berlin. that would come on the program here on our t, afghanistan's thinking income poverty after the taliban takeover and us pull out the horrific practices and merging of families, selling the children were reporting about in just a moment here on our t internet. join me every thursday on the alex salmon. sure. i'll be speaking to guess what the world politics sport business i'm show business. i'll see you then. oh,

my savings were exhausted formula. they said some people got some aid here. hodge, but the others did not. my pockets are empty now and i have no option left but to sell some of my kids and to fight for the survival of my other kids with the money i get that way. we get him from the human face. when your stomach is empty, you can't think about the dark side salarous of, of energy. i'm forced to sell a few of my kids to feed others. there is no option left from the previous government did not help me, but i hope this new one will support me. i'm not asking for support for myself alone, but for all these people living here like they are all from my tribe. but in michigan, all of us refugees here are one families. i asked for financial help for everyone, says jacobo. all right, in brief, a global snapshot for you, riot sa, continuing and bolivia over the crop that is used to make cocaine. and police use tick asked to dispose, coca pharmacy responded by throwing rocks around this town. several arrests were made, of farmers have been protesting for months of what they see as a government monopoly on growing the crop, which is legal,

but heavily restricted. the major volcanic eruption is now into his 3rd week in la paloma in spain's canary islands. authorities are closely monitoring the area off to part of the crater collapsed, unleashing a cascade of foss moving lava, and now we understand more than a 1000 meters wide. so far lava flows have destroyed more than a 1000 buildings. and to new york, where hundreds of teachers are protesting against compulsory vaccines. a sofa, a staff were put on, paid leave of. failing to receive a cobit shot, a protest has held up banners denouncing what they called coercion of political gestures, who become a familiar sight at sporting events in america with athletes. taking the neil refusing to sing the national anthem. but now there's a new trend emerging with fans chanting, upset its ease against the increasingly unpopular president. oh,

oh, oh, oh, the tune went viral after appearing during and b. c. broadcast of nascar race and alabama. and b, c reporter who was interviewing dr. a. brandon brown said that john actually sounded like, let's go brandon. well, nascar shared the video then deleted it without any explanation, but that was enough to trigger a barrage of jobs on twitter. this sounds literally nothing like, let's go brandon. can't wait for the see. and in fact, checks to tell us that the crowd was in fact saying, let's go. brandon jonas, have a difficult job to keep licking them some bite. and as per that channel bosses, well, we did speak with a georgia molar from the global policy institute in london. and he gave us his perspective on joe biden and why he's become a figure of ridicule for so many americans. american people like their

presidents to have a certain swagger a so for sure, i'm so bike and just doesn't inspire that. so, i mean, that's one aspect of it with sports fans, you know, young people, they cannot relate to a, a kind of a dog ring. ok, man, you know, this is frank of civility. his policies are on pocket. i think the, the afghan debacle is unpopular. i think people are getting very concerned about all the signs of inflation in the economy. i think the of the border. busy which is completely out of control is very unpopular. that discussion on joe biden continues right now online at r t dot com. well, thanks for joining us. it's early morning here at moscow about a half pod 8. we are back in half an hour with more of your world wide use. have
