ah ah, but headlines for this hour here, one on t facebook stuff was one of its worst outages and history. for 7 hours, millions of people were disconnected from the world's biggest social network, along with the instagram and walks up. and even the company engineers had their electronic passes, denied a shocking revelation in france as a prob, flags more than 10000 cases of child abuse in the catholic church going back 70 years. now, an independent commission will be releasing as findings later today. and europe, energy crisis deepens with italy now bearing the brunt,

record gas prices are left. many people just unable to simply pay their bills. jeremy, i'm really shocked. i'm aware of what is going on, and i have to say we are upset, an absolute shame. the italian state, instead of protecting its citizens, does exactly the opposite. it is raised the tariffs of goods such as electricity and gas. what a shame ah. all right at noon on tuesday here at moscow, this is our t international, a very warm welcome to you today, and it's a movie crew right now, arriving in space. a saw use rocket has just lifted off from the bike and all cosmo jerome in kazakhstan, carrying expedition number 66, all the way opposite to the international space station. and we are showing you live pictures, hero nazi. this time it is a rather unusual trio on board. you have one, cosmo, along with

a russian at film producer and an actress. those 2 will be spending about a week on the i assess before returning to earth. and they're aiming to make the 1st feature length film shot in space, coils out of a challenge. and this launches the 1st time in 21 years that are saw use crew features only russian nationalist. and the rocket is expected to reach the i assess in roughly 3 hours from now. right now there are 7 people on board. the i assess to russians 3 americans with 2 other afternoon, including one from france and one from japan, a lease which is continue for you online at r t dot com. oh, so 7 hours without facebook, what's up and instagram, and a $7000000000.00 person or hit for c, e o. mark zuckerberg. a facebook's services are now back online after a global outage. and, and as a whistleblower edward snowden took the opportunity to imagine what life would be

like without the social media giant. the internet joins go flying today and never return. what happens tomorrow? a golden age dawns or collapse, and we dine on rats. so edward snowden, yesterday tweed out whether or not this is if all the tech giant swing down at the same time, would it be a good thing or a bad thing for society in surprising enough you overwhelming majority said that it would be a great thing for society, if the, the big tank giant were taken down permanently, i kind of tend to agree i would like of the ability to organize. but i guess if we still have telegram, we do have the ability to organize. so, but it was interesting to see how many people viewed detect, jives going down as a positive dang versus a negative. twitter is picked up traffic significantly. some people were joking about saying, you know, if face to face 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 of tinder goes down along with all those other 3. well,

they're not exactly sure what they're going to 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 gain 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 out accountable, but we do want them to be held accountable in the right way. not something that hurts a lot of people. we spoke with john listen commentator chadwick more. he question how such a vast company can be so vulnerable to a technical glitch? 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. busy happening quite so frequently. ready

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 facebook all run through some sort of similar server. facebook is now sort of saying they were making upgrades and, and, and program or gotten locked out or something. sounds fishy sound really strange. the fact that this in facebook, always the privacy problems and they always have problems there, and they always go offline. they've got one, so it's very suspicious. and it's also suspicious that facebook seems to have bigger problems than most tech companies with these issues. and i would whistle blowers as well. i cannot get back. 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 till these companies have it 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. well,

earlier in the program, i discussed that brief taste of a world without facebook and what's up with auntie is equal to was quite in quite an experience now was in and it was like going in some version of a cyber and a co chamber. if you like, and just, you know, completely, you know, muting out the rest of the, the rest of the world. yeah. it was, again, it was quite an experience. and in fact, it was one of the longest outages that facebook has experienced in its history. so yet it was long and there were long, tense hours because nobody seemed to know what caused the outage. how long it will last and well, we'll what we should all do with it. so well, it seems all seems back to normal now, but it wasn't easy because apparently when facebook service went down, they took along with themselves the so the infrastructure inside the, the, the facebook headquarters or wherever their service are located. so engineers, when they tried to get in, they found out that they have electronic cards, their passes simply did not work. so they had to literally forced their way into

the server room to manually rebuild them. so, and it took mark zuckerberg also hours to come forward and explain what was going on. facebook, instagram, whatsapp, a messenger 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. so again, there were hours of radio silence before that statement. maybe because mark was trying to, well, put out a statement on facebook, not realizing it was down, but that's just my wild guess. we'll eagle 11 window closes perhaps another window opens any other services out there. taking advantage of this historic crash for facebook. well, short answer, yes, but it's not that simple because you might think that it was just facebook, instagram and you know, facebook sister companies essentially, but no. a lot of other companies, a lot of other businesses that do not necessarily rely on facebook as a social platform, but rely rather on their technical or physical infrastructure like service. they

all went down to from well tended to netflix to zoom, to literally websites of airline companies and, well, bank apps as well. so a lot of the lots of sites, a lot of services that were used to using they, well they went off line. but one apps seem to take advantage of it and mainly to take advantage of whatsapp not work. and that's the telegram messenger. they eserman their social media team, even had their fun on twitter before twitter went down as well. and well, they tried to attract new uses and well they successfully did so because it is estimated some 50000000 new users join telegram and it almost went down as well, but not because of the facebook thing, but because you had to process so many new accounts being registered, so yeah, and there were a few funny reactions on line to this whole mayhem unfolding. have a look. we're working to get things back to normal. telegram, you're single,

come over, the servers are up and my parents aren't home. so yeah, being a little tongue in cheek, the s m m team, they're by probably well capitalizing on the whole situation. but in general, this whole thing, it underlines especially the fact that other businesses not, not well. a pankey linked which didn't appear to billing to facebook, that they experienced troubles. it really points out how much people on the gerald, massive massive companies rely on the infrastructure of one particular tech giant. millions of businesses rely on facebook now and many other. ah, many others use, say, spoke 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 are who said relying on it. but imagine a much more in trend, sick 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 were relying on the facebook consists. the service outage did not lead to any use, a data being compromised. but it's an additional setback, just to weeks after a form of product manager claimed facebook knowingly allows users to spread hate and misinformation our guests gave us their views on this story. 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. if you, 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. natural gas prices are still edging up in europe after hitting an old time record. and italy is now one of the worst

effect as it relies on gas for more than 2 thirds. it was entire energy needs. people therapy hit by soaring bills and the fear that is just the beginning. oh, determined i am really shocked. i'm 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 per cent. 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,

their basic goods. you can't pay for gas or electricity that much. i fear that very bad things could happen. people could become violent. mm hm. damage them to break italy's government is warned that electricity bills could rise 40 percent over the next 3 months. the prime minister has an out 3000000000 euros of subsidies to keep gas and power bills down this winter. however, experts wanted won't be enough. and may the citizens want a more drastic intervention? a go out of it. i bet you what i mean. so the government should increase subsidies for the people. i mean, it should help people who has no money or it should make a policy not to raise these rates, but i know it's too late. now, this was very difficult situation, where we only have one salary and we will have to make many financial sacrifices. 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. a long running probe in france has

uncovered at least $10000.00 cases of child abuse at the hands of catholic clergyman. later today, a commission will be releasing as findings at date, back 7 decades investigating in paris ortiz charlotte who can scale 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 here. 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. ah ah

oh, 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 bow, not pray. 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. tales of 22 cases have been reported to the police. 40 other cases have been flagged up to the church where some alleged offenders are still employed. however, for the majority of victims, that may be no redress. 9 out of 10 people cannot get justice because the statute of limitations is passed or the perpetrator has died. financial compensation has been suggested as an option by the french catholic church, but the victims, i mean, the 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 shall at

even ski arty paris, the french or catholic church is not directly committed on this upcoming report coming out later today. but it did post a prayer on twitter, on behalf of the victim. on in the wake of bricks it summon poland a wondering whether they should or follow the you case example and head for the exit. a warsaw is currently locked in a series of disputes with the european union. as peter oliver now investigates, politicians from the ruling law and justice party in poland, talking about the country's future inside the european union. so even suggesting the potential of a pokes, it time for an honest assessment, whether the british path is better for poland. poland fought the german, occupies in the 2nd world war. it fought the soviet 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 party is that while savor, 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. how's 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. bullen does one of the most subsidized countries in the e. u. sold by making our contribution to the ear 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 alif presses for european integration and a creation of a united states of europe, we should think carefully about that because the policy of some french or 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 poll 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 to stays full opposition. activists don't think there's any real plan to take poland out of the a you says orange as the spices will 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 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 are sold to come here on arte international. a u. s. sports channel goes into daniel's control mode after an obscene chand targeting president biden is broadcast, live, honor will cover that story. and the reaction, of course, as well. we're back in about 60 seconds. ah ah ah ah ah ah,

i know, ah ah, so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy confrontation, let it be in arms. race is on offensive, very dramatic development. only personally and getting to resist those 3. how that strategy will be successful, very political time, time to sit down and talk ah, it is good to have you with us today that political gestures to become a familiar sight at sporting events in america with athletes either taking the ne,

you're just refusing to sing the national anthem, but now there's a new trend emerging with fans chanting obscenity against the increasingly unpopular u. s. president. oh, ah. the charge went viral after appearing during an nbc broadcast of a nascar race in alabama. and nbc reporter, who was interviewing dr. brandon brown, try to limit the damage by suggesting the crowd. we're actually saying, let's go brandon. well, nascar shed video and then all of a sudden deleted it. that was certainly enough time 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. journals have a difficult job to keep licking them some bite. and as per that channel bosses, we spoke with george mueller from the global policy institute in london, he gave us his perspective on joe biden. and ultimately, why he's become a figure of ridicule for so many american american people like their presidents to have a certain swagger, a certain self assurance. so this doesn't inspire that. so, i mean, that's one aspect of it that with sports fans, you know, young people, they cannot relate to a, a kind of a dog ring, a man, you know, with civility. his policies are on pocket. i think the, the afghan debacle is unpopular. i think people are getting very concerned about the, the signs of inflation in the economy. i think the of the border. busy which is completely out of control is very on popular, but the voice. well,

let's get some other stories now, making headlines all around the world for you. we start briefly in bolivia. ah, riots are continuing in the capital. let pass over the crop used to make cocaine a police you take asked the disposed cocoa, farmers who responded by throwing stones. a several arrests were made. a farmers have been protesting for months over what they see as a government monopoly on growing the crop, which is legal, but heavily restrict look at these pictures right here. nice. i'm sort of a major volcanic eruption is now into it's the 3rd week and la, paloma and spain's canary islands. authorities are closely monitoring the area after part of the crater collapsed, unleashing a cascade of fast moving lava. a one point was more than a 1000 meters wide as we on. so as we understand at this point, so far regarding the damage, a 1000 buildings have been destroyed. to new york for

a moment here where hundreds of teachers have protested against compulsory vaccines . as office staff are put on paid leave of failing to get a shot. protest was held up banners denouncing what they called her was m. 7 a donald trump is calling for 2 newspapers to be stripped of their pulitzer prizes for their reporting on russia gate. the former u. s. president wrote to the prize board denouncing the new york times and washington post for falsely accusing him of colluding with moscow. as has been widely publicized, the coverage was no more than a politically motivated foss, 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 pool. it's

a website. the 2 papers were jointly awarded the prestigious prize in 2018 for almost 2 dozen articles, and linking trumps 2016 election campaign to russia. but a year later, an investigation led by special prosecutor robert mila concluded there was insufficient evidence to prosecute the president. the special councils investigation did not find that the trump campaign or any one associated with it, conspired or cold united with russia in its efforts to influence the 2016 u. s. presidential election comes to renewed attack on the liberal newspapers comes weeks after a diving revelation against the democrats in the russia guide case. last month, the full my clinton campaign lloyd was indicted on chargers of lying to the f. b i . when talking. ringback about alleged links between trump and russia. and we discussed this with our legal analyst at jennifer dom hasta, who things the new york times and washington post these days of becoming more like propaganda outlets. both surprised him do what it was as their own entity. so they

could result ease awards, they could issue a statement, retracting their formal statements or statements. it could accurately state that their prior award was based on what's clearly now been reported by actual legal sources as misinformation. so they can do all of these things. but the question is, will they do it? the problem is in new york times and washington post, i become propaganda outlets of either the democratic party or whatever. now he's or narrative fits their board, their owners not only people stop researching for themselves, but a lot of times they'll just read headlines, even if the article sel might have clarified information still just read dana g headline and so that's where it becomes dangerous and no russia collision, irrational is a lie, but the mainstream media did not report on it when all of their anonymous forces and fabrications were found out. you got a lot of stores to get through for you today here with archie international. if you

missed anything on a, i just catch it online at odyssey dot com for the meantime. we are back at the top of the home. mm hm. who's 100 mic? no said, you know, borders a tease and you guys as a merge, we don't have a therapy, we don't have a vaccine. the whole world needs to take action. that would be many people are judgment. 2 common crisis with we can do better, we should be better. everyone is contributing each in their own way. but we also know that this crisis will not go on forever. the challenge is great to response

has been massive. so many good people are helping us. it makes us feel very proud that we are in it together. a this is boom, bought the one business show you care to coordinate a branch of boron washington coming up. be pandora papers have shaken global leadership circles as investigated reports. i've uncovered how many heads of state

hide their funds offshore. straight ahead. we dive into the back.
