► Apple, just the latest victim of hacking. The company says it was attacked by the same group that targeted Facebook- but that no data appears to have been stolen. Apple is releasing software to protect consumers against the malicious software used in the attacks. It comes as cyber-security attacks have been on the rise. Mandiant, a cyber-security firm - says a secretive Chinese military unit- located in this building- identified as the People's Liberation Army's Shanghai-based unit 61398- is behind hundreds of attacks. Though, currently there is no clear link to the Apple and Facebook attacks. Mandiant Vice President Grady Summers: SOUNDBITE: GRADY SUMMERS, VICE PRESIDENT, MANDIANT (ENGLISH) SAYING: "141 organizations targeted across 20 different industries and hundreds of terabytes of intellectual property have been stolen from these organizations over the last 6 years. That is a massive amount of research intellectual property plans for the next generation products that the United States and other Western companies would have been producing. All those really gone in the blink of an eye and so it's really clear that China was after the intellectual property of these organizations." Mandiant published details of the attack programs and dummy websites used to infiltrate U.S. companies- typically using deceptive emails. Here is how it generally works: The common way is to send emails with a link. When the unsuspecting victim clicks on the link, the software gives the hacker access to keystrokes, passwords, screen shots, and other data in hopes of finding information to access even more important data The Obama administration says it's brought the concerns to the highest levels of the Chinese government. Spokesman Jay Carney: SOUNDBITE: JAY CARNEY, WHITE HOUSE SPOKESMAN (ENGLISH) SAYING: "I can tell you that we have repeatedly raised our concerns at the highest levels about cyber theft with senior Chinese officials including in the military and we will continue to do so." Officials have expressed particular concern about the U.S. power grid and other critical infrastructure. Dmitry Alperovitch, Chief Technology Officer, at cyber-security firm CrowdStrike. SOUNDBITE: DMITRY APLEROVITCH, CHIEF TECHNOLOGY OFFICER, CROWDSTRIKE (ENGLISH) SAYING: "The Chinese have aggressively targeted the energy sector. They target oil and gas companies. They target green energy and stealing negotiation strategies, stealing intellectual property, in order to benefit their own companies. China continues to deny the allegations- and says it is the victim of U.S. hacking.

"Last but not least, I must say this concerning the great controversy over rifles and shotguns. The only thing I've ever said is that in areas where the government has proven itself either unwilling or unable to defend the lives and the property of Negroes, it's time for Negroes to defend themselves. Article number two of the Constitutional amendments provides you and me the right to own a rifle or a shotgun. It is constitutionally legal to own a shotgun or a rifle. This doesn't mean you're going to get a rifle and form battalions and go out looking for white folks, although you'd be within your rights - I mean, you'd be justified; but that would be illegal and we don't do anything illegal. If the white man doesn't want the black man buying rifles and shotguns, then let the government do its job. That's all." - Malcolm X

Truth of Islam have pointed out to him that the blind hatred for all white people was the wrong attitude, as if the same attitude by the whites against blacks. On his second trip to the Middle East in 1964, Malcolm X took a visit to Africa, the land of his ancestors. For eight weeks, he's meeting with Egyptian President Gamal Abdul Nasser, President of Nigeria Nnamoi Azikiwe, Tanzanian President Julius K Nyarere, Guinean President Sekou Toure, President of Kenya Jomo Kenyatta, and the Prime Minister of Uganda Milton Obote. He also met with religious leaders nationals African, Arab, and Asian, both Muslim and non-Muslim.
" I see the things I have never seen for 39 years live in the United States. I see all races and skin colors are brothers and worship the one God. It is true, in the past I hate all the white people. But I do not feel guilty with that attitude again, because now I know that there are white people who are sincere and willing brothers with blacks," he said.

The Interim Country - Kyrgyzstan. Despite being hailed as a model of post-Soviet reconstruction, Kyrgyzstan made international headlines in 2010 after the toppling of authoritarian President Bakiyev plunged this once peaceful country into chaos.
Just five years ago, Kyrgyzstan's Tulip Revolution was praised as a peaceful readjustment of a post-Soviet state. But the revolution was soon betrayed and Kyrgyzstan descended into authoritarianism under president Kurmanbek Bakiyev. This film chronicles the popular revolt that led to the toppling of Bakiyev in April 2010 and the chaos and interethnic violence that ensued. Since 2010 the lack of power and legitimacy of the interim government has prevented the country from stabilising. As tensions continue to rise and the economy deteriorates, journalists like Gulzat Egemberdieva ask if the dream of becoming the "Switzerland of Central Asia" will ever be realised.
