10:00 am
expectation, the life i sent a death, i accept the fact that i made that we had no fears. del changed pre fashion. 4 shots, different stories behind the bullets. ah, this ours headline stories facebook suffers wall of its worst ever. outage is for 7 hours, millions of people were disconnected from the world's biggest social network, as well as instagram on walked up and even company engineers and their electronic pulses denied. europe's energy crisis deepens with it's lee bearing the brunt record and gas prices have left many unable to pay the bill. 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
10:01 am
and gas. what a shame this their like abuse and cruel into friends belts. the dumb and conclusion of a probe into the french catholic church, which claims are worth 300000 cases of child sex abuse during the last 70 years. with history in the making, a russian film crew has arrived to out the international space station to shoot the 1st ever feature length movie in orbit ah. around the clock across the world, this is our t from the team and myself unit o'neill. hello, and welcome to the news our 7 hours without facebook. what's up uninstall from the $7000000000.00 personal hit for c yo mark zuckerberg. facebook services
10:02 am
are not back on line after a global i teach it's engineering team was posted. amy copa blaming a technical error for the web. busy apocalypse, and it's a whistle blower. edward snowden, meanwhile, took the opportunity to imagine what life would be like without those tech behemoths in her life. the internet 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, swing 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
10:03 am
a negative. twitters picked up traffic significantly. some people were joking about saying us if face to face, look 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're going to do with their lives. because, you know, i've given all the, 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 when a founder saw 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 spoke with a journalist and commented or chadwick, merle miss as well. he questions how such a vast company can be so vulnerable to the technical glitch. facebook?
10:04 am
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 of the big tech companies, apple happening quite so frequently. so it's a bit bizarre that facebook has a problem with this. it seems to be that all of their, these properties oculus, instagram, whatsapp, and basement 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 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 now with whistleblowers 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
10:05 am
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 shut that was intentional or it was just the mistake. what are your of my colleagues, rory, sushi and eager shut down, discuss 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, well, 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,
10:06 am
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 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 11 window closes perhaps another window opens any other services out there. taking advantage of this historic crash for facebook. well, short answer, yes,
10:07 am
but it's not that simple because you might think that it was just facebook, instagram and, you know, facebook says to 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 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 a lot of sites, a lot of services that were used to using they, well they went off line. but one apps seem to take advantage over it and mainly to take advantage of whatsapp not work. and that's the telegram messenger. they estimate their social media team even had their fun on twitter before twitter went down as well. and while they try to attract new uses, i, 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,
10:08 am
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, 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 you say spoke in order to, to connect to other apps. it sends a huge warning across the bile because here we have
10:09 am
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 intrigue, 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 we're relying on. or facebook insist this service on page did not lead to any user data being compromised, but it is just another sent back weeks after a former product manager claim the social network knowingly allows users to spread hate and misinformation, or a guess gave us their views on where facebook, the brand currently stand. what's interesting about the leak documents of the wall
10:10 am
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 league 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. the claims that facebook
10:11 am
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 and moving the program all. no natural gas prices are still edging up in europe after hitting on all time. it's lee is one of the worst effected with gas accounting for more than half of the countries residential energy consumption. people have been hit by swearing bills on fear. that's just the beginning. are 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 pretty condemned by the covert and 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
10:12 am
. 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. i'm done with him or with italy, the world's 12 largest consumer of gas importing almost 91 percent of its fuel for users. the government's warren, consumers could be hit hard in their pockets on the prime minister as an inch. 3000000000 euro worth of subsidies to keep those done in this winter or over. experts warn it won't be enough on many locals. one far more drastic action a ground over. i bet you what i mean for the government should increase subsidies for the people. i mean, it should help people who has no money over that 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,
10:13 am
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 to maybe we did before, like going out for dinner and some holidays and some gifts. we'll have to give enough for them to pay for these increases. it's not fair, but unfortunately we can't do anything. alvaro, another country hit hard by soaring gas prices, his poland, which earlier refused to prolong its gas supplied contract with russia. the polish government hopes that cover it's needs with gas imports from norway now as well as liquefied natural gas applies from guitar on the u. s. in the meantime, if that works out pulls, you're having to deal with a steady rise in their bills. anita frost desanto. this is the 2nd increase this year and a significant one. people on average or lower income will truly fail 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
10:14 am
solutions. he just went along sunday with gas prom. sony with rushes cause promise beneficial compared to the deal way in poland. tough with us for sale goes on russian ghost as compared to the stable in supply more abundant and cheaper. we don't have a plan to make a deal with cause problems. so process will remain high, it's about political move or the moment we lack energy security. right. definitely my favorite story, the day now on bringing new meaning to the term star studded cast. the russian film crew has dr. the international space station near hoping to make the 1st ever feature length movie shot entirely in space and a short time ago, the saw you spacecraft successfully docked with the i s as old as a nervous moment, but all went well we believed. let's get the low done on all that know from don't know, quarter, don't i put a to the pressure for an actor and not to fluff her lines as just reach new heights . tell us more indeed about what's happening up there. while you in and like you said, the m. s. this i use m. s 19 has just docked with the international space station
10:15 am
after launching from the bike and or cosmo jerome and cassock stand earlier on tuesday. now, on your screen, you can see the docking process, which actually did not go exactly according to plan. there was a glitch in the automatic docking system, so the flight commander had to manually complete the procedure himself. now luckily everything was successful, everyone is safe and sound and the, the entire crew is set to board. the i assess within the next hour. but earlier we heard actually at a press conference from the commander and he talked a little bit about what it's going to take to accommodate these new crew members. on the international space station will do better with and we'll get up with the spacecraft, has been reconfigured for it to be managed without an on board and no, but i think that as soon as we get to the space station, a lot will change there because we've got so much vital equipment for shooting the movie, a lot of photo video equipment, lights, et cetera. the international space station will be transformed significantly. the russian unit will turn into a film set for these 2 weeks. now there is
10:16 am
a unique thing about this specific space flight. actually the russian film director clim chapin co and russian actress uli a paris hilde are tagging along. they're going to spend a 12 days aboard the international space station where they're going to be filming parts for a fictional space drama movie called the challenge. and this is actually going to be the 1st professional team of movie makers that will be filming in space. now, several cosmo knots on board. actually in these scenes, i wanted to say that paris sealed will be playing a surgeon that was sent to the international space station to actually save the life of a cosmonaut and several of the cars, not already on board. the i assess, are actually playing rolls in this movie, like oleg novit sky, who actually sent his greetings over twitter right after watching the launch from space. now, the movie itself is even set to make history as the 1st feature film filmed in space. this is something that the russian team has been locked in,
10:17 am
a literal space race to accomplish for a while now with the american actor tom cruise and the director, doug lehman. so this is certainly some interesting news coming out of biking or, and the international space station. yeah, very interesting. few days ahead. that's fillum should proceed. don't. thanks very much don. quarter till head on the r t bolstering it's barricades online. the british government is looking to spend a big on a new cyber, a war 1st central will be getting a lead us from our correspondence in london and more after the break. ah ah
10:18 am
ah . so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy confrontation, let it be an arms race is on offense. very dramatic development. only personally and getting to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful, very clear to kill time time to sit down and talk with
10:19 am
019 minutes past the hour. a welcome back. hundreds, thousands of children who've been abused by catholic clergymen in france since the 1950s. now this, 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 were for 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 positions of trust. let's have a look at some of the main points now in that report some 3000 p to files uncovered, acting within the french church since 1950. and that is said to be
10:20 am
a minimum estimate to 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 $10.00 to $13.00. the head of the commission of that independent report said that the church was to blame for not doing enough. she should debbie this until the 2 thousands. 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 on shore marie, so they warned that the problems had not yet been overcome. for should he thought keel, 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
10:21 am
report outlines 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 described 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 bishops of france, reacted to that report. in the moments off that it was revealed, he set the time from beginning to you. the time for naivety was over and he described the report as being overwhelming. he 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
10:22 am
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. and we have 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 or 2 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 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 used. people are still extremely shocked.
10:23 am
the british government is preparing to funneled billions of puns into a new cyber warfare center capable of attacking states that the u. k. deems hostile . for more on this, let's cross live to ortiz. shadier edwards dash is shandey. hello. the u. k. government partly has some really big plans here, both in terms of the amount of money earmarked on the potential global impact. what will worse known well as being described to help find the ga, meant in a breton as a once in a generation opportunity and a real game changer and placing britain back on the map as a global lead, an influence or in terms of cyber security in fact, it's so much of a priority for the government that it's setting aside a whopping finds a 1000000000 pounds to set up this new headquarters for cyber warfare in the united kingdom. many eyebrows, though, raised at that amount of money,
10:24 am
particularly during all of this time, we've seen the kind of pandemic, very difficult, a financial past 20 months, not least looking at current affairs to like the fuel shortage here in the u. k as well. so that's a huge amount of money, but the defense secretary is defending this amount of money on the move in general, saying that the u. k. ah must be better equipped to defend itself, but also must be in a better position to lower c cyber attacks as well. some foreign states are waging cyber warfare not every single day. and we have a right on the international law and among ourselves to defend ourselves. and one of the way see could do that is to dismantle the tools that i used against you. for example, with the hostile state is using a server to deploy ransomware against you, spyware. using disinformation, you could use offensive side, but to deal with those servers. now the united kingdom is yet to suffer what's
10:25 am
deemed as a tear won all catastrophic cyber attack from these so called hostile regimes. bought the u. k. it's it says it would be an error election of duty if the u. k. was not in a position to strike back against these rogue states. plus it's been on this trajectory for some time now. in fact, the national cyber force has been in operation. it was established since at least november of 2020. but what we do know is in the past few months now in 2021, a british officials have been hinting at who these hostile states really are. namely russia and china. russia has combined military and no military means to alter the map, attempting to change the balance of power and undermining the cohesion of all societies through disinformation, russia, and china, and gaining a decisive advantage in inflammation h military technologies. now all of this was discussed earlier in the year in the
10:26 am
government's integrated review, which provides a strategic threat assessment. the main takeaway really was a movement away from the traditional forms of wool fam, like soldiers and tanks and guns on a shift towards cybersecurity and technology. now at the top of that threat, assessment is indeed these hostile states, russia and china. but of course, we know that russia has consistently denied any involvement in cyber attacks here in the united kingdom and says that london has time and time again failed to provide any solid evidence to back up its claims a gang stead. but still, the united can kingdom continues and is indeed setting up this new headquarters. and it seems as though the u. k is not as ramping up as rhetoric, but it's clearly ramping up its capabilities as while johnny, thanks very much for taking us through all of our to ortiz, shonda edwards dusty in london. the kremlin sees
10:27 am
a major investigation is needed if a video showing inmates allegedly being raped on tortured in russian prisons is proven truth rushes present services currently probing those claims. we can't show you the disturbing images for understandable reasons, but we did talk earlier with hearty cross, clint, dimitri oak. moscow has sent a team of investigators to serrato's where the videos emerged from allegedly showing how inmates were tortured, abused, raped. now the video was released by gulag dot net, an organization dedicated to protecting the rights of inmates throughout russia's prison system. now they were the ones who released this video. however, now investigators must confirm whether these videos are actually authentic. however, the head of the organization lead immunization has said that he is really received over 40 gigabytes of videos and other materials. allegedly showing that the abuse was widespread, that inmates across several russian prisons were the victims of abuse, torture,
10:28 am
rape. here's how he described how he actually received this footage. we managed to hold out of russia, 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 and cctv, and the security forces headquarters of the prisons tuberculosis hospital in saratoga the organization claims that some 200 inmates have become victims of this abuse over the years since 2018. however, the videos obtained only apparently show about 40 of those cases aware of the inmates were violated, abused, tortured, and all that was used to blackmail them into signing fours confessions, report on other inmates. among other things. now the chronic spokesperson to me through pascals has reacted the situation. he has said that these are very serious allegations that require a thorough and calm investigation. so confirm whether or not these videos were
10:29 am
actually true or authentic or not. now not all the videos have been released yet, but the investigators do reiterate that only after they've been confirmed can a real large scale criminal investigation be launched against those responsible for these series of abuse. time in moments for another visit to the news views at hughes studio. stay with us for the up and i'll see you again at the top. bye for now. with ah
