9:00 am
we had no fears, jell changed pre fashion. 4 shots, different stories behind the bullets. ah, facebook surfers wall. all of its worse than ever. all it is for 7 hours. millions of people were disconnected from the world's biggest social network, as well as instagram and waltz up uneven company engineers out there. electric product is denied. europe's energy crisis deepens with italy, bearing the brunt record. gas prices have left many unable to pay the bills on duty. i mean, 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 it citizens does exactly the opposite. it is raised the tariffs of goods such as electricity and gas, what a shame also ahead systemic abuse and cruel into friends about the domain.
9:01 am
conclusion of a probe into the french catholic church, which claims over 300000 cases of child sex abuse during the last 17 years and history in the making. a russian, phil and crew arrives of the international space station to shoot the 1st ever feature length movie anywhere with for the afternoon. this choose the intrusion in bucharest on here in moscow. welcome to the news r and r t. i mean, and only 7 hours with on facebook, what's up an instagram and a $7000000000.00 personal hit for c, e o. mark zuckerberg. facebook services are now back online. after global i teach on an essay whistleblower edward snowden took the opportunity to imagine what life
9:02 am
would be like without those tech behemoths in her life. the intern joins go a fine today and never return. what happens tomorrow? a golden age don's or collapse and we dine on rats. so edward snowden, yesterday tweed out whether or not this, if, if all the tech died, swim down at the same time, would it be a good day 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 jives were taken down personally, 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 from twitters picked up traffic significantly. some people were joking about saying us if face to face were 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,
9:03 am
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 founder. so me. 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. well, we also spoke with journalists and commented her child with more. he questions how such advanced company can be so vulnerable to a technical college 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 companies. apple. busy happening quite so frequently, so it's
9:04 am
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 is now sort of saying they were making upgrades and, and, and program or gotten locked out or something. sounds fishy sounds 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. acknowledge, in fact, 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 to these companies at so much control, so much power. they are monopolies and look at how they could just wipe out revenue, whether the shut that was intentional or it was just the mistake or your,
9:05 am
my colleagues, royce, for shay and eager chatelle discussed that brief taste of a world without facebook, unwholesome, was quite and quite inexperienced 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 services are located. so engineers, when they tried to get in, they found out that their electronic cards,
9:06 am
their passes simply did not work. so they had to literally force their way into the server room to manually reboot 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 well guess. we'll eagle it 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 sista 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 physical infrastructure like
9:07 am
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 loss of the lots of sites, a lot of services that were used to using they, well they went off line, but one app seemed to take advantage over it and mainly to take advantage of whatsapp not work. and that's the telegram messenger. they s m m, their social media team even had their fun on twitter before twitter went down as well. and while they try to attract new uses, as i did well, they successfully did. so because it is estimated some 50000000 new uses 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 may hm. unfolding have a look. we're working to get things back to normal. telegram you single come over,
9:08 am
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, it underlines especially the fact that other businesses not, not well, apparently linked 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.
9:09 am
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. facebook insists the service outage did not lead to any user data being compromised, but it is just another setback, weeks after a former product manager claim the social network knowingly allows users to spread hate and misinformation are guess, gave us their views on where a facebook that brand currently stands but what's interesting about the leak documents of the wall street journal published is that they show quite clearly with facebook is in decline, and knows it's in decline. and so you see all these desperate measures of
9:10 am
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 officials, that crest of the wave is now headed downwards. that facebook is not infallible. and what's app is definitely not infallible. whatsapp also came under scrutiny because there were reports that even though they claim that they 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 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
9:11 am
are still edging up in europe after hitting an all time record. italy is one of the worst effected with gauss accounting for more than half of the countries residential energy consumption. people being hit by soaring bills on fear that it's just the beginning. oh, determined. 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 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 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
9:12 am
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 or with lee the world. busy twelth largest consumer of gas that equates to importing almost 91 percent at to service all users. the government has warned consumers could be hit hard in their pockets on the prime minister has their for announced 3000000000 euro worth of subsidies to keep bills done. this winter, however, experts warner won't be enough. many locals won't far more drastic action. a ground over. i bet you what i mean for the government should increase subsidies for the people. 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. what we only have one salary and we will have to make many financial sacrifices, nor it will not be easy. we are very worried. we will have to give up little things
9:13 am
to maybe we did before, like going out for dinner and some holidays and some gifts. we'll have to give it up for them to pay for these increases. it's not fair, but unfortunately we can't do anything else on another country hits hard by soaring guys, prices is poland, which earlier refused to prolong its gas supply contract with russia. the polish government hopes to cover its needs with gas imports from norway, as well as liquefied natural gas supplies from katara and the u. s. in the meantime, polls are having to deal with a steady rise in their belts. anita frost, disown before this is the 2nd increase this year and a significant one. people in average or lower income will truly feel it. i feel angry because they're more increases to come with rights to grow up in january and in spring. the lowest price is what hunger is prime minister did looks like solution. he just went along someday with guys problem solving with rushes cause problems beneficial compared to the deal way in poland. huff with us for shale gas, russian cost is can partially stable and supply more abundant and cheaper. we don't
9:14 am
have a plan to make a deal with gus chrome, so crosses will remain high. it's about political move of the moment we lack energy security. bringing new meaning to the term star studded cast. a russian film crew hust dock. don't the international space station there hoping listen to this to make the 1st ever a feature length movie shot entirely in space and, and he just a short time ago there. so you spacecraft successfully talked with the i assess so a lot going on. let's get the low done then on all this from donal quarter. don indeed tell us say what's happening? you got a film crew at some lofty ambitions there. do you nod? right wise, you just said the psy use m. s 19 has just successfully docked with the international space station that was after launching a from the bike and or cosmo durham in cassock. stand early early on tuesday. now on your screen, you're gonna be able to see the actual docking process taking place leader and actually everything didn't go exactly according to plan. there was
9:15 am
a glitch in the automatic docking system, so the flight commander actually manually completed the procedure just in case. luckily though it was successful, everyone is safe and sound and we are expected to see the crew of these. i use m. s . 19. enter the international space station within the next 2 hours. now, this specific space flight is unique for one particular thing. it's actually the russian film director clim ship panko and the russian actress eulley a parasitic are taking a long for this one. they're going to be spending 12 days of or the i assess to film scenes of a fictional spaced drama film that's going to be called the challenge. and they're actually going to be the 1st movie makers, the 1st professional movie makers, to film a movie in space. now in the scenes, paris hilde is actually going to play a surgeon who was sent to the i assess to save the life of a cosmonaut and mind you. several cosmo knots that are already on the i assess,
9:16 am
are actually set to play roles in this fill, one of which is oleg novit ski. and he even sent on twitter. his greetings, after seeing the launch take place over the internet. but this movie specifically is even set to make history as the 1st feature film to be to be made in space. this, this is something that the russian team has been locked in a literal space race to accomplish with the american actor tom, cruise and director doug lemon. so a lot of cool information coming out of biking or in the international space station right now. yeah, it's extremely details, isn't it? about rough part he's going to be willing to attend to tell you that much. don't quarter. thanks pretty much bring this right off. the dates on exciting time to me up full string, it's barricades online. the british government is looking to spend big on a huge cyber war 1st center will be getting the latest from a correspondent in london, not more. ah
9:17 am
ah. with what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy confrontation,
9:18 am
let it be an arms race is on offense. very dramatic development. only personally, i'm going to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful, very difficult. i'm time to sit down and talk ah, hello again. hundreds of thousands of children have been abused by catholic clergyman in france since the 1950s. that's the claim of a report just released by an independent commission. it describes a culture of, quote, cruel indifference within the church to what was a systemic problem. this report rocking the foundations of the catholic church here in france. this is just the latest scandal to hit the church world wide, but showing the depths of depravity of those who were in positions of authority and
9:19 am
positions of trust. let's have a look at some of the main points now in that report, some 3000 feet of files uncovered, acting within the french church since 1950. and that is said to be a minimum estimate, some $330000.00 children who are abused by those who are affiliated with the church includes priests and the clergy. 80 percent of the victims were boys between the ages of 10 to 13, the head of the commission of that independent report said that the church was to blame for not doing enough sheesh good debbie. these until the 2000. there was a profound and even grew indifference towards the victims they were not believed, not heard. the church did not know how to see or hear. they did not pick up on signals or take the rigorous measures which were necessary. the institutions responsibility has to be recognized. punch your marie, so of
9:20 am
a wound that the problems had not yet being overcome each full. should the puck deal, we must get rid of the idea that sexual violence in the catholic church has been completely eradicated. that the problem is behind us. the problem remains. so this report that lines 45 recommendations. this includes listening to victims and also a psychological assessment to report that those who wish to join the church in the feature as well as looking at the governance of the church itself. as that report was being released, some of the heads of victims associations describe how they were feeling to the role fit. i know you've been through hell. you have explored the darkest and most object state the men, sometimes creating mind the president of the conference of bishop. so france reacted to that report. in the moments off that it was revealed, he said the time from beginning t, the time for naivety was over and he described the report as being overwhelming. he
9:21 am
asked for keeping this for the church, for what had happened to these hundreds of thousands of children on social media. there has been angry reaction to that report with many saying that the time had come for reckoning within the church. this organization, the catholic church, must be dissolved and bad. no other association company structure would not be dissolved, dismantled after such crimes. 330000 victims in churches. they should be dissolved chemical castration for all priests to take vows of chastity away and yet to hear how the vatican will respond to this. there has been a long list of scandals involving the catholic church now for the last 20 old years or more. we've had scandals in places like australia in australia, in the us, in germany, and now he in problems. but no matter how many times we get reports that are
9:22 am
exposing what happened for decades. what was known by senior members of the church when you see the sheer scale of what happened to people, the numbers and how they were abused. people are still extremely shocked. the british government is preparing to funnel billions of puns and to a new cyber warfare center capable of attacking states that the u. k. c's as hostile for more. oh not. let's cross live now to ortiz shoddy. edwards dusty shouty. hallo. officials in britain seemingly getting pretty excited by these plans, what's known? well, it's being described as a once in a generation opportunity, a real game changer in placing britain on the map as being a global lead to an influenza in the cyber security world. such a huge priority then a full, the british government that it's setting aside a whopping 5000000000 pounds to build this new digital digital wolf a h q,
9:23 am
with the capabilities of launching and offensive, or, and data cyber attack, a gangs hostile powers like dr. russia or indeed china and the government is really having a motivation that it's only right that the united kingdom is better equipped to defend itself. the national cyber false will help confront aggressive behavior from malign actors and demonstrate that britain is investing in next generation defense capability to protect help people and help our friends count to cyber threats. well, the united kingdom is yet to suffer what they deem as a tear won catastrophic cyber attack. but the government simply says it would be a dereliction of duty if the united kingdom was not in a position to launch an attack of such a similar scale. they also comes as 2021 has been much defined this year as a year,
9:24 am
that there's been repeated warnings even as early as march from experts. the russia and china prisoners acute an immediate threat to the united kingdom in cyberspace. russia has combined military and non military means to alter the mob attempting to change the balance of power and undermining the cohesion of all societies through disinformation, russia and china gaining a decisive advantage in inflammation. h military technologies. interesting leave this year. the united kingdom has also invested millions of pounds to how vulnerable countries in areas in the indo pacific and africa, i to help them build up their own cyber defense is to prevent china and russia really filling this cyber space vacuum. and so it seems as though a, russia and china are indeed in the spotlight when it comes to the united kingdom. now, that was some warning of all of this, the united kingdom set out. and it's integrated review this year,
9:25 am
which sets out its global vision. and indeed, provides a strategic threat assessment at the top of that is of course, russia and china. and the main takeaway really is less of the traditional forms of warfare like that of tanks all soldiers and shifting it with the focus lying really on cyberspace and technologies. and plus with this latest news of setting up a new digital wolf, a h q, here in the united kingdom, it's not just ramping up his rhetoric, but the government is clearly a ramping up his capabilities to live from london. this, our ortiz shut, it was dusty. the kremlin sees a major investigation is needed if video showing inmates allegedly being raped and tortured in russian prisons proves to be true. russia's prison services currently probing the claims. we come to show you the disturbing images for understandable reasons, but we can get more on the story now with our correspondent,
9:26 am
dmitri polk. dmitri some pretty horowitz accusations there. i think it's fair to say, what are we learning about what occurred? well, right now, there's a team of investigators that have been sent from moscow to the serrato region where one of these videos allegedly takes place now of the organization that released these, these videos and globbed out nat, their organization dedicated to protecting the rights of inmates throughout russians, russia presence, now they're the ones who released his video. however, so far it's not been confirmed, which is why the investigator has been, have been sent there. but the head of the organization lead immunization has now said that he has actually received over 40 gigabytes of videos and other materials, largely showing that the this abuse and violations, they were wide spread across several prisons that inmates were tortured, raped, abused by penitentiary, service workers, throughout several prisons across russia, a, here's what the have the organization said about how he actually obtained these videos
9:27 am
. we managed to haul out of rush or a person who for 5 years served to sentencing one federal penitentiary service establishment. he's a programmer, underwent beatings and torture himself, but then they decided to use him for his professional abilities. for 5 years he had access to federal penitentiary service computers in c, c t, v, and the security forces headquarters of the prisons, tuberculosis hospital in saratoga. now the organization claims that over 200 people, 200 inmates have been the victim of all this abuse over the course of several years . however, the vios obtained a allegedly only show about 40 of those cases where inmates were tortured, abused rapes, and it was all used as blackmail to force them to sign forged confessions, report on other inmates. and among other things, non response across spokesperson a. neither his gulf has said that these allegations are serious and require a common thorough investigation. and 1st of all, these videos need to be authenticated and proved to be actually true. ah,
9:28 am
now not all of the videos have yet been released. however, investigators reiterate that only after these videos have been confirmed that a serious large scale investigation against those responsible could be launched. yes, across that story ortiz to me tree ok. absolute john pack boom bus coming your way next from the pandora papers fall off to trade concerns and northern ireland reverberating across europe. stay close. it's a good a there is an end. again, you can only collateralized the same thing. so many times you can only sell the same, don't it so many times before somebody figures out that, hey, there's no, don't it here that's just the whole. and that's what's happening in america. they're trying to survive on the whole in the don't it. and they're saying, we sold this whole in the, don't it 15 times it goldman sachs and we got rich because we got paid
9:29 am
a fee on the collateral ization of the whole and the don't it. and now that everybody else in america is broke and they don't generate enough income for us to tax, to pay down the debt that we incurred by deregulation. and they're in this training, going back to reagan. now they're out there can non drums, they're like, what do we do? ah, it was the most basic or could i feel that video go he did, who bought? i bought a dial. tomato, a couple of pretty, then you quite buy that politicians to athletes and movies does to musicals, does it seem to every big name in the world has been here? let's see. okay, but you can look up a budget when you get the call when you finish with give me
