11:00 am
looking forward to your bench with this is what happens. dimensions in brittany del, at this happens. you watch kaiser report. ah, facebook suffers walden, all it's the worst ever on integer is for 7 hours, millions of people were disconnected from the world biggest social network as well . as instagram and what's up even company engineers, how their electronic passes denied. all to coming out from the program, europe's energy crisis deepens. with it, lee bearing the brunt record gas prices. there have left many unable to paint the boots. or would you tell me, 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 its citizens, does exactly the opposite. it is raised the tariffs of goods such as electricity
11:01 am
and gas, what a shame systemic abuse and cruel indifference about is that doubling conclusion of our probe into the french catholic church, which claims over $300000.00 cases of child sex abuse up and during the 70 years and history in the making, a russian film crew arrives at the international space station to shoot the 1st ever feature length movie in orbit ah, just after 6 in the evening here in moscow on this, the 1st tuesday of october, hope we find you. well, i'm, you know, neil and this is art international. 7 hours without like facebook. what's up uninstall brown and a $7000000000.00 a personal hit for c,
11:02 am
e o. mark zuckerberg lundy. so one of the biggest outages in the tech giant's history, it disrupted business and social interactions around the world, which calls facebook alone, tens of millions of dollars in los revenue. it's engineering team us posted at mia copa. blaming a technical error for the web, apocalypse journalist on commentator chadwick moore questions how such a vast company can be so vulnerable to a technical failure. facebook. oh is a one trillion dollar company and i always outages happen a lot. it happened in april in june of just this year. you actually 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 basement all run through some sort of similar server. facebook is now sort of saying they were making upgrades and, and,
11:03 am
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 i would whistle blowers as well, could be acknowledging back. this has to 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 could just wipe out revenue, whether the shut that was intentional or it was just the mistake. and earlier my colleagues research shayhan eager to sit down off, discuss that brief taste of a world without facebook and waltz amp. was quite a, 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,
11:04 am
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 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 on. facebook, instagram, whatsapp, a messenger coming back online now. sorry for the disruption today. i know how much
11:05 am
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, 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 the lots of sites, a lot of services that were used to using they, well they went off line,
11:06 am
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, 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,
11:07 am
not well, accounting 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. it's a social networking platform, but a lot of businesses are who said relying on it. but imagine a much more in trend infrastructural attack. i'm not saying this was a cyber attack. in fact, i have a theory about what happened. but this shows you the fragility of the entire
11:08 am
digital infrastructure that we're relying on facebook and says this service i teach, it 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, or a guess gave us their views on where facebook the brand currently stands after all that. 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 league documents show is and understanding by facebook
11:09 am
officials, that crest of the wave is now headed downwards. that facebook is not infallible, and whatsapp 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 was absolutely that we should be very skeptical of the claims that facebook whatsapp. if you all the subsidiaries are for the moment, i keep their sites even on line. natural gas prices are still edging up in europe after hitting an all time record. italy is one of the worst effected with gas accounting for more than half of the countries residential energy consumption people. they're helping it by storing builds on they fear. it's 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,
11:10 am
instead of protecting its citizens, does exactly the opposite. instead of saving the citizens already condemned by the coven in the pandemic. despite this general economic crisis, it has raised the tariffs of goods such as electricity and gas. what a shame, the increase in electricity, gas, and petrol is 40 percent. i would say it is too much. many people have lost their jobs. many people have been penalized by the pandemic will have great difficulties . it will not be easy. what a drama about the future i see is quite bleak, negative. i would say that if things do not improve, there is a real risk of a social revolt. people are tired if they can't even pay these bills, things will get worse and worse, 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 with italy, the world 12th largest consumer of gas importing almost 91 percent of all it uses the government's warrant. consumers could be hit hard in their pockets. the prime
11:11 am
minister has a 93000000000 euro worth of subsidies to keep bills done. this winter over experts, one, it won't be enough and many locals won't far more drastic action a ground over. i bet you what i mean. 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 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 enough to pay for these increases. is that fair? but unfortunately, we can't do anything else on. while another country hit hard by soaring gas prices, his poland, which earlier refused to prolong its gas supplied contract with russia. warsaw hopes to cover its needs, what gas imports from norway as was liquefied natural gas applies from guitar and
11:12 am
the u. s. in any event, it's polish people who are having to deal with a steady rise in their bells on you to frost bichon. but this is the 2nd increase this year and a significant one. people, an average or lower income will truly fail it. i feel angry because they're more increases to come with rates go up in january and in spring, the lowest price is what hungary is prime minister. it looks like solution. he just signed along sunday with guys prom audio signing with rushes. gastorm is beneficial compared to the deal way in poland. tough with us, with shale gas on russian gas, as compared to the stable in supply more abundant and cheaper. we don't have a plan to make a deal with gas problem, so prices will remain high. it's about political move at the moment. we lack energy security. now bringing new meaning to the term star studded cast that russian film crew has docked at the international space station. they're hoping to create a 1st ever feature lent new the shot entirely in space. just moments ago, the hatches were opened on the crew of the sawyer spacecraft took their 1st steps
11:13 am
on board the i ss and indeed you're looking at live pictures right now with the entire crew, a bigger crew than normal up there. all gathered together for the 1st time talking to ground control. i would imagine right now with more on today's events. here is our teas donald quarter. well, the psy use m. s 19 just successfully docked at the international space station after blasting off from the bike and or cosmo drama in kaz. extend early on tuesday . now as you can see on your screen, this is lead docking procedure taking place. usually it's done by an automatic docking system. but this time, the commander of the flight and the actress on board took manual control to complete the procedure for part of a film that they're, that they're filming. now before the launch of the rocket, we heard from the commander at a press conference. he talked a little bit about what it's going to take to accommodate these new crew members about aboard the international space station with the spacecraft has been
11:14 am
reconfigured for it to be managed without an on board engineer. 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 foam set for these 2 weeks on september. now there is a unique thing about this specific space flight. actually the russian film director clim chapin co and russian actress uli a parasitic 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 paras 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,
11:15 am
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 think that the russian team has been locked in a literal space race to accomplish for a while now with the american actor, tom cruz and the director, doug lehman. so this is certainly some interesting news coming out of biking or, and the international space station can't wait to see how that turns out. this is art. see still ahead, bolstering it's barricades on the line. the british government is looking to spend big on a new cyber war for center. we look at why after the break. ah
11:16 am
ah ah ah ah ah, ah. blue with all i 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 or development. only. we're
11:17 am
fight that 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 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 to 13, the head of the commission. all of that independent report said that the church was to blame for not doing enough sheesh good, deeper these until the 2 thousands there was a profound and even grew indifference to was the victims. they were not believed in all 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. i know you've been
11:18 am
through hell. you have exported the darkest and most object state the man sometimes creates in his mind. the president of the conference of bishops of france, reacted to that report. in the moments after it was revealed, he said the time from beginning 30, the time for naivety was over and he described the report as being overwhelming. he asked for forgiveness for the church, for what had happened to these hundreds of thousands of children on social media. there has been an 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, $330000.00 victims in churches. they should be dissolved chemical castration for all priests who take vows of chastity. there has been a long list of scandals involving the catholic church now for the last 20 old years
11:19 am
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 abused, people are still extremely shocked across the channel. from there, the british government is preparing to funnel billions of pounds into a new cyber war 1st center, capable of a talking states that the u. k. views has hostile with more on what's known about the plans. here is artesia edwards thirsty well as being described hair by the government in a breton as a once in a generation opportunity and a real game changer and placing brits and back on the map as a global leader,
11:20 am
an influence are 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, particularly during all of this time we've seen in the k the pandemic. very difficult of 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. must be better equipped to defend itself, but also must be in a better position to launch these cyber attacks as well. some foreign states are waging cyber warfare not every single day, and we have the right on to international law and among ourselves to defend
11:21 am
ourselves. and one of the way see can 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 service has 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 non 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 winning a decisive advantage in information h military technologies. we know that russia has consistently denied any involvement and cyber attacks here in the united kingdom and says that london has
11:22 am
time and time again failed to provide any solid evidence to back up its claims against it. but still, the united can, the kingdom continues and is indeed setting up this new headquarters and its thing here, starting back from 2018. however, the video is obtained, allegedly only show about 40 of those cases. your organization says that according to these videos, the inmates were subject to violence, torture, abuse, rape, in order to get them to sign false, confessions, report on other inmates, and actually even carry out abuse towards other inmates. crowman spokesperson music is called has said that these allegations are very serious and they must be investigated in a common thorough manner to 1st of all can further reliability and truthfulness. now there are more videos to be released apparently, but investigators have reiterated that 1st of all, these videos have to be confirmed in the way of life of reindeer herders leading a traditionally nomadic lifestyle. and the tundra is similar to
11:23 am
a parallel reality. i wanted to mention of the hoods, women carry the weight of the household work on their shoulders. some of them will know he'd never this will set you close. no, i think it's nice. however, in the vast expanse of russia, there is a spot where a housewife could secure regular income and stunted. it's in the far north, soon escalate him until em human. i'm usually in with this is the kaiser report that show you love stacy. right, well i have an important piece here that i want to discuss because as it is, i got a lot of attraction from the blue check twitter crowd, mainly those who are more democratic, leaning liberal,
11:24 am
leaning economists. and they see this as a good solution. the headline of that topic we're going to get to is biden's spending bill won't save the middle class.
