6:00 am
ah ah pet lines, but it's our live on our t and facebook stuff was one of his worst outages in its history. for 7 hours, millions of people were disconnected from the world's biggest social network. along with instagram and watson and even company engineers had their electronic passes, deny systemic abuse and cruel indifference. that's the damning conclusion of a probe into the french catholic church, revealing 216000 cases of clerics abusing children in the last 70 years. and europe, energy crisis deepens with italy, bearing the brunt record gas prices are that many unable to simply pay that bills. oh jeremy, i'm really shocked. i'm aware of what is going on. and i have to say we are upset,
6:01 am
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 what a very good afternoon to you from. all of us here at aunty internationally. moscow was now just after 1 pm on tuesday. so 7 hours without facebook, what's up and instagram, and a $7000000000.00 a personal hit for ceo mazacco bug. facebook services are now back online after a global outage. and i say we're still below edward snowden took the opportunity to imagine what life would be like without the social media giant. the internet joins go a flying today and never return. what happens tomorrow? a golden age dawns or collapse, and we dine on rats. so edward snowden,
6:02 am
yesterday tweed out whether or not this, 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, overwhelming majority said that it would be a great thing for society if the, the big tank jaya 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. twitters picked up traffic significantly. somebody were joking about saying us if face it says facebook down of twitter goes on next. and they'll be posting all their rage tweets in food pictures on tinder instead. and in other people, of course, that of tinder goes down along with all those other 3. well, they're not exactly sure what they want 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
6:03 am
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 out accountable, but we do want them to be held accountable in the right way. not something that hurts a lot of people. below we spoke with john list on commentator chadwick mole. 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, 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
6:04 am
saying they were making upgrades and, and, and program got locked out or something. sounds fishy sound really strange. the fact that this and facebook always a privacy problems and they always have problems there, and they always go offline. it went down to one. so it's, it's very suspicious. and it's also suspicious that facebook seems to have bigger problems than most tech companies with these issues. and, and i would whistle blowers as well. acknowledgement 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. earlier in the program, i discussed that brief taste of a world without facebook and what's up with ortiz ecosystem was quite a, quite an experience now was in, and it was like going in some version of
6:05 am
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 glossed and world will 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 services are located. so engine is 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
6:06 am
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 eager that 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 sr companies essentially, but know 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 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,
6:07 am
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 joined 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 there by probably, well, capitalizing on the whole situation. but in general, this whole thing,
6:08 am
it underlines especially the fact that other businesses not, not well, accounting linked to which didn't appear to billing to facebook. that they experienced troubles, it really points out how much people and in general, massive massive companies rely on the infrastructure of one particular tech giant. millions of businesses rely on facebook now and many other, 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 intrinsic infrastructural, so attack, i'm not saying this was a,
6:09 am
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. facebook consists, the service outage does not lead to any use a data being compromised, but it is an additional setback just weak software. a form of product manager claim that facebook knowingly allows uses to spread to hate and misinformation, i guess. so give us the views 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 preteens 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 leak documents show is and understanding by facebook
6:10 am
officials, that crest of the wave is now headed downwards. that facebook is not infallible. and what's app is definitely not infallible. what's apples that came under scrutiny because there were reports that even though they claim that use your 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 was 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. well, a natural gas prices are still edging up in europe off the hitting an old time record. italy is one of the worst effected as gas accounts for more than 2 more than half i should say roughly 2 thirds of the countries residential energy consumption. the people have been hit by soaring bills and they fear is just the beginning. are determined, i am really shocked, i'm aware of what is going on,
6:11 am
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. it 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. italy's government has worn that electricity bells could rise 40 percent over the next 3
6:12 am
months. and the prime minister has announced 3000000000 euros of subsidies to keep gas and power bills down this winter. however, experts warn it won't be enough and made a citizens want a more drastic intervention. a ground over, i bet you what i mean for the government should increase subsidies for the people. it should help people who have no money. it should make a policy not to raise these rates, but i know it's too late now. it's 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 to maybe we did before, like going out for dinner. some holidays, 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. well, it's nearly hard to believe at least 216000 children have been abused by catholic clergymen in france since the 1950s. and is the key finding of
6:13 am
a report just released by an independent commission describes a culture of cruel indifference within the church to what was a systemic problem. sharla do buskie fall this report from paris? 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. noon
6:14 am
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. 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
6:15 am
continue teaching children for his crimes. he was sentenced to 5 years in jail. the head of the independent commission says, details of 22 cases have been reported to the police. 40 other cases have been get 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 the victims ami 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 it even ski arty paris? the french catholic church has not directly commented on this report,
6:16 am
but it posted a prayer on twitter, on behalf of the victim. caught up on the out here and moscow in the wake of rex it some in poland. a wondering whether they should follow the you case example and head for the door of warsaw is currently locked in a series of disputes with the e. u. as peter oliver now reports, 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
6:17 am
prime minister mateusz. moreover, 340 is that while safe, 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. 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 allies dresses for european integration and a creation of a united states of europe,
6:18 am
we should think carefully about that because the policy of some french or german governments, but also the european commission towards poland is harmful to us and causes 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 stay small opposition. activists don't think there's any real plan to take poland out of the 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 you 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
6:19 am
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 coven aid money yet, while some other member states already spending. there's not 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 some lit uplands. upon leaving the european union, peter oliver r. t. berlin. are plenty more still to come here on the program on our
6:20 am
6:21 am
mm. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy confrontation, let it be an arms race. it is on offense. very dramatic development only personally and getting to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful, very difficult time time to sit down and talk with ah oh, well, it's good to have you with us. welcome to the program here in our t international, just entering the 2nd block for you. now, political gestures have become a familiar sight at various sporting events in america with athletes taking the new
6:22 am
york, just refusing to sing the national anthem, but now there is a new trend emerging with fans chanting obscenity against the increasingly unpopular president. oh, oh, oh. well the challenge went viral after appearing during an nbc broadcast about nascar race and alabama. and b. c reporter who was interviewing dr. a. brandon brown, try to limit the damage by suggesting the crowd were actually saying, let's go brandon. well, nascar shared the video with an all of a sudden deleted it, was more than 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. joe knows,
6:23 am
have a difficult job to keep licking dems and bite. and as per that channel bosses, we spoke with george simoli from the global policy institute in london, he gave us his perspective on joe biden. but ultimately, also why he's become a figure of ridicule for so many americans. american people like the president to have a certain swagger a so for sure, i'm so by and just doesn't inspire last one aspect of it that we're talking about. sports fans, you know, young people, they cannot relate to a kind of a dog ring. ok, man, you know, this is frank of civility. his policies are unpopular. 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,
