amna: welcome to the "newshour." in a landmark ruling, a federal judge has found that google broke antitrust awe laws to google controls 90%. it could upend how americans get their information online and change the way big tech companies operate. i'm joined by a professor at vanderbilt law school. how big a deal is today's ruling? >> it is a really big deal. the biden administration has five major cases going right now against google, meta, a.m.a son and apple. they have won. and they are one-for-one. >> they sued google accusing it of illegally this search

dominance by paying companies like apple and samsung to make sure that google was the default search engine. what changes with this ruling? >> well, didn't say about a remedy yet. and we can expect both sides to fight hard. very likely, there will be a remedy the way we engage with search on our phones and devices and hard to overstate what a big deal this is. the biden administration has been trying in different ways to come after competition in the big tech sector. and this is a real sign that antitrust is up to the task and not stuck in the smokestabbings and this could be a turning point of how we think of competition tore big tech. amna: are there broader and how they are operating as a result

of this ruling? >> i think it will. i mean, this case applies to google but there are breadcrumbs that other litigants can take up in cases. lots of holdings that are relevant to the cases i mentioned before and other challenges to how tech is conceding. i would be very concerned if i were thinking about how the competitive land scape is going to look in the future if i were a tech company. i wouldn't have the monopoly and dominance i have enjoyed for the last 10, 20 years. not going to be as secure. amna: what are some of those breadcrumbs. what stood outs to you? >> he said that this is a zero-price market. people don't pay for search and yet that is not something that is a defense that zero price

markets can bemon appliesed. defining the market. he doesn't have any problem of defining the markets. the tools that the tech companies are using are trying to combat their problems are becoming more suspect after this case is on the books. amna: no remedy is and should users expect any difference? >> not in the short-term. the remedy will be months, if not years away and there will be a difference in the way we engage with google, but not in the short-term. the big thing is the precedence it sets for the big tech companies, what the rules of the rules of the road. amna: the last big antitrust ruling against a tech company is more than 20 years ago, we are

entirely new internet age. when you look at this ruling what does it say about the government's potential role when it comes to regulating big tech companies? >> it goes to the sherman act of 1980's and how it has abdicated that role and this is a turning point in that story. i think this does say the government has an important role to play even in emerging and network tech industries. amna: rebecca joining us on this landmark google ruling. appreciate your time. and in other major business news. global markets started in a tailspin that the u.s. economy could be sliding. on wall street, the dough jones had the worst day in nearly two

rates and a lot of those people were caught short and had to sell short. but as you mentioned, the recent signals about the u.s. economy has been discouraging. the jobs market report last friday showed it weakening and corporate and those two things are are happening and the backdrop the wider war in the middle east can't help people spirits. amna: and data points, the weaker jobs report and unemployment triggered fierce of a recession. are those fierce overblown or justified? >> the recession has gone up but not most likely outcome. and easy to get freaked out and say what do they know and is the

end of the recovery at hand. but the economy has been strong. employers have been hiring. and i don't think there are signs of a recession yet. is the economy slowing more quickly than the fed expected and the fed behind the curve and a lot of people think that was a mistake. >> when you look at the tech markets they were the worst. and fell 5%. apple took a hit. berkshire hath a we sold it and why is tech industry hurting the most? >> they had a huge climb. and they make these semiconductor chips, down 20% in the past month but still more than doubled what it was a year ago.

facebook loss and up 50% over the last year. couple of things going on. the tech bubble got a little bit out of hand and climbed the mountain and the prices have come down the mountain and not back to where they are. there is less you for yeah of the benefits of a.i. and the companies are going to be printing money. amna: 30 seconds i have left, every day investors are worried about their retirement savings, should they do anything right now? >> a day like this is absolutely the worst time to make big decisions to buy or sell. it is a reminder, the stock market goes up and stock market goes down, people saving up for a house and it's not a good idea to have all your savings in

stocks. amna: david, always good to see you. thank you. >> you are welcome. >> here are the latest headlines. the prime minister of bangladesh has re-signed and fled the country. sheik hasina was the country's longest serving leader and her resignation came after protests that have left 300 people dead. today, thousands of demonstrators stormed the official residence. u.s. state department offered condolences for the lives lost and pushed for an orderly transition. >> it is vital we have investigations to ensure

that harris set. >> some say she is a d. e. i. hire. >> very important to question what those things mean because you are saying she is black or because she is a black woman. and will not be able to handle the responsibilities of the job. >> i'm not sure i'm giving oxygen to these schoolyard antics. that being said, there is an addage in our community we have to work half as hard. but when we get in position, we must still perform and she is more than capable. >> in the past, we have seen sexist, racist remarks. are you concerned at all just about the road that vice president harris faces?

amna: 2024 race for the white house has been upended in the last few weeks as we wait for the announcement of kamala harris'. amy walter of the cook political report and tam ra of n.p.r. kamala harris is expected to appear with her running mate. the top contenders are these three men, josh shapiro, governor walz and senator kelly. that is going to come in this context and the poll shows a statistical tie nationally and battle ground states between harris and trump. when you look at those numbers, could the advise presidential

pick move those numbers? >> we talk about the vice presidential pick, it's an important moment especially for a new candidate. she is not new. but we haven't seen her as a presidential nominee and first action. the second thing, it allows her to do is have another good week if everything goes right and rollout. this is the do know harm theory. and she is able to own another week of the media coverage and that transitions into the d.n.c. and three weeks of the harris campaign set the tone for the debate and narrative and what she has to choose between those three, progressives are very, very much pushing for the

governor of minnesota. the more progressive moderate wing of the democratic party said you have to go with shapiro to set the narrative for you. if cam ma laharries is -- cam laharries is too -- >> when you look at these men, what do they bring to a ticket? what is she prioritizing? >> she is prioritizing someone someone on her team who is a gomping partner and someone she can work with and chemistry. many of these people she has longstanding relationships with. she is looking for someone who will do know harm and will be safe and theory will get out and campaign and drive the message

and what we have seen over the last week is the audition of all three of these men. tim walz wins the cable audition because he has used this term weird to describe j.d. vance and president trump. and they are saying i'm not weird, you are weird. and people are giving tim walz, credit for that. amna: the polls and what they tell us, because the race is still tied and the ticket has changed and saw this surge in financial support for harris. the fund raising showing she has $300 million and trump campaign has $140 million. does that surprise you? >> can i make an argument, which

is, you know in this day and age in this very polarized area, a surge is moving a race from one where trump was up by 3 to where harris is up one point or tied. that is a four-point shift. that is a big deal and that matters a lot. what we have seen the race has shifted from where trump was ahead and his race to lose to one where this race is a tossup. where it isn't is where in 2020 at this time where biden was up in the polling by eight points or something and ended up winning by four. this is much closer but a heck of a lot better. the thing about the money is that democrats and spent it on

biden and didn't do anything. now harris and her campaign have an opportunity in many ways say the same things, although it's different and a changed candidate that biden wasn't. and she is a prosecutor, trump is taking us backward and never going back. the candidate that can also deliver that message with her is going to be very important. amna: what we are hearing from the campaign and campaigning in georgia. sounds like they are struggling to and senator graham said focus on her record. trump goes into questioning her racial identity. is there a strategy? >> is that off script?

i guess we will never long for sure. but the cycle of people, oh, trump, don't tweet, just watch your mouth. his supporters have said that every day that he has been on the political scene. so i they they are in the throwing spaghetti at the wall phase and what sticks. they tried san francisco liberal and will try more of that in the days and weeks to come. and tried to say she was tough prosecutor and not enough. she doesn't know her racial identity and different person to different people and trump has trade to crazy. sort of shrouded in familiar tropes for female candidates and candidates of color. what sticks, who knows, but they

tr trying different messages. he spent his rally in saturday complaining about the crowd size and wasn't allowed to have the people. complaining about the crowd size and complaining that she had a rapper and really that wasn't -- they were there for the rapper and not for her. and really trying. >> i have to ask you but the impacts of the third party candidate. robert kennedy is polling at 2% and a series of weird headlines. the brain worm, dead bear in central park, is there an impact on this election? >> these battle ground states that are going to be decided he

can siphon some votes. his drop is coinciding with harris' rise. the campaign of r.f.k. junior who were not never trump voters but interested in sending a message, i'm not going to vote for trump. r.f.k. hasn't run any ads. not that surprising to see his drop. amna: great to see you both. amna: the killing of a tom hamas leader struck the middle east. the past 10 bloody months have

galvanized palestinian populations beyond the west bank especially in lebanon. factions have made it home and we gained rare access to its operations there for this report. >> a show of defiance, the lebanese city after israel's killing of chief. >> the resistance will remain strong and will continue until the israeli occupation and defeat of the occupation from the palestinian national fer tower. >> it has been taking place since the population and his demise will not weaken hamas or its struggle. a liberation these men and women have awaited for decades. they are refugees, palestinians expelled when israel was

created. and this woman is 23 years old and never set on palestinian land but no less attached to the cause. >> since our childhood, it has influenced us a lot. our leaders told us we should hold onto the resistance. hamas' october 7 attack on israel was denounced as terrorism by the united states, and palestinians haven't felt in decades, hope. >> we had the hope of returning and living in our homeland. >> i want to know if this is a broader trend in lebanon and home to the largest refugee camp. it crossed into another country.

120,000 people live here in perpetual exile in half a square mile. now that frustration has found an outlet, a hamas fighter requested anonymity. >> do you think since october 7 there is greater support for armed resistance? >> yes. there was support before but not as much we are seeing now. there was mobilization. all of these camps. >> rising support is visible in plain sight and this was co-founded by as ar i can't rememberra fat. but -- ya rmp a fmp at. it is green colors.

green flag of hamas and other symbols like these symbols have spread throughout the camp and armed support in areas not dominated by hamas. >> and accusations of rampant corruption and its failure to achieve palestinian states in the wake of the oslo accords. and renounced violence and authority to govern. never laid down arms. the most senior military official. >> we participate in military inside the west bank in the face of israeli occupation. >> a branch of fattah. he points to israel's continuing

occupation and setment and palestinian land is evidence that the oslo accords have failed. >> negotiations have been tried for 30 years and will not give the palestinian people anything. the plip people have no choice to take their rights by force and blood. we need to get rid of this occupation in the land of palestine. >> and finding ground. the mobilization inside the camp is a delicate matter and joins israeli air strikes and jailen ated. to get a dplimpes into this process i visit a mosque. a local hamas official tells me that hundreds of young men have approached him sips october

ready to take up arms against israel what they call zionist entity. >> they want to go through the recruitment process and wanted us to get weapons to fight the zionist entity. >> new recruits are vetted. instruction is at the very core of joining hamas. >> first of all, he has to be committed, pray and take lessons. his foundations and goals should be, he will go out to the second stage and take a special lesson. >> military training where it gets more complicated. hamas doesn't have protected status and isn't allowed to have an armed presence. one who took part of the

training exercises,. >> how to take them apart and put them together. these kinds of things. >> and inside the camp or outside the camp. >> we go out and come back. i went out three times and came back. >> have your friends joined hamas? >> a lot. all were encouraged after october 7. >> they are capitalizing the death and destruction in gaza are a price we're paying. >> the zionist en entity are betting that adults would die and children would forget. the massacres, the killing and the destruction, there is no

alternative except palestine. >> the assassination has dashed hopes for a ceasefire as the only way forward. for the pbs "newshour". >> team u.s.a. continues to dominate, the most decorated american athlete in track and field alison felix to her name is also in paris to change the narrative of mothers. she joins us. thanks for joining us. amna: tell us about this effort, you partnered with pampers to

create a nursery in the athletes' village for the games. first ever olympic facility of this kind. why is this space needed? >> when i came back from competition after having my daughter, i had a hard time traveling with her and competing. when i was appointed on the i. o.c. i wanted to support mothers and thought of the olympic games and something that should have been done a long time ago. and now there is a space in the athlete village and bring your babies and young children and bond with them and get away from the pressures of the olympic games. amna: you had your first daughter in 2018 and competed in tokyo, what was hard about that? what were the challenges? >> when i went back to

competition, it was going to competition, sometimes being assigned a roommate or wash bottles in hotel rooms. some of the smaller things that were challenging and want to figure out a way how can we show up and make it easier so mothers know they are capable of having big-time performances after child birth. >> this is the first ever facility of its kind. why did it take so long? >> lack of mothers at the table and people paving the way, pieces in place and it came around. i was shocked that when i brought it before the commission it was well received. but i think we need more voices, more stories amplified and we are seeing athlete mothers competing and doing so well we

are trying to shift the culture. >> you are one of those leading voices that mothers need and having a baby in track and field was once called the kiss of death that your competing career was over. you have two children but you called out your sponsor nike for their maternity po cyst and wrote, quote, if we have children we risk pay cuts from our sponsors during pregnancy and afterwards. the rules are mostly made for and by men. you forced nike to rewrite their maternity policy. but how hard was it to come out a say what you did? >> i don't like to rock the boat and i haven't been outspoken and going through this real life situation that i have to say

something. i had a traumatic experience with my daughter and that gave me that bit of courage and push that i needed to say i'm not going to allow my daughter to take on the same fight. i wanted to stand up for myself and others. amna: you had a condition that puts black woman at five times a higher risk of death than white women in america. you were awarded $20 million in a grant. what do you want to do with that? >> i was humbled to able to deploy these funds and focus on black ma term health. and i want to find organizations that are doing important urgent

work and have an impact on the communities and the people who are most at risk. i am most excited to put these funds at use. amna: at these games as a expect tater and noaa lyles and what is some of your favorite moments? >> those have been special. just cheering everyone on. i got to go out to gymnastics and simone biles and bring my daughter. watches these games through her eyes has been special fun. amna: thank you for taking the time to chat with us. take care. and we have much more coverage of the olympics online and the number of men and women
