cuts now everybody knows and as of where of the need for oil prices to move lower the global economy is struggling and it's facing headwinds at six thousand once and there is a multitude of different external challenges so the longer term picture is actually that oil prices should come back and sullen mansome but not in so it is known and confirmed where this cut in supply from iranian oil being sent off will be filled so this is why over the longer term picture many still remain negative on oil prices which is why our everyday viewers everyday consumers do not have to worry too much but over the net some some chip political risk has been priced to back in soil this is why over prices are rally and they fit the highest level of two thousand and nine scene but it's still a dramatic distance away from what oil prices were a couple of years ago so no need to worry no it's a panic buts we do need to monitor the day to day news narrative around oil prices and specifically what happens next door is what happens next isn't it jim

a lot made to join us from kuala lumpur thank you so much for your time and still ahead on counting the cost why musicians at iraq's national symphony orchestra are trying to hit the right note. right now though the battle and it really is a battle over the next generation of mobile technology on the one side you've got china's huawei love for its phones but feared over a perceived threat of chinese spying which the company's always said is totally untrue and on the other side the likes of australia canada denmark new zealand and the u.s. who've all banned the company from their networks but in the u.s. there is a really curious tale of his involving while away a u.s. stocks up some so-called unbreakable glass and an f.b.i. sting operation john hendren picks up that story now from goni illinois this is a story about a small american technology start up a giant chinese conglomerate and industrial espionage she. it starts here in

illinois where adam kahn formed a company a con semiconductor where they make a kind of glass for cell phones that is said to be six times stronger than the industry standard so you can drop it and it won't break and it looks something like that he was looking for a manufacturer to make it and among the companies he talked to were hallway of china they had a facility in california so he sent them a sample with two provisions first they could not damage it that's standard protection against industrial espionage and second they couldn't take it out of the country because it's made with a kind of industrial diamond like material that has military properties and is illegal to export from the united states nevertheless it was returned months later and broken that was when the company thought perhaps they were being ripped off by the chinese so they spoke to the f.b.i. you examined this sample and determined that it had been cut by a military strength industrial laser and there were pieces missing which suggested

the chinese had held on to them to examine it and the f.b.i. went one step further they asked officials at a con to become spies to meet with chinese officials at an industry conference in las vegas which they did wired for sent chinese officials there said that in fact the sample had been taken to china and they questioned out loud whether the u.s. government was listening to that conversation and that is where that case lies but it's part of a wide ranging probe into huawei by companies and the u.s. government in fact the c.f.o. of qual way faces charges in brooklyn the company just settled a suit in washington state where it is alleged to have stolen part of a robot owned by t. mobile the robot was called tapi by the way and the trumpet ministration is urging american companies not to use while weighs five g. technology that's because they're afraid that the company is installing a backdoor that would allow them to listen to americans and possibly engage in

cyber warfare as for the a con technology you see here you might look for it one day soon on a cell phone near you. and we'll have more on that story in the coming weeks and counting the cost because this new mobile technology five g. as it's known it is coming it is worth billions the competition over it is fierce and while it's right at the center of it as you already see it is a company which attracts a lot of attention and controversy just this week it came out fighting against allegations that it is funded or controlled in any way by the chinese government report is in chains and we're told there is no state capital in the company at all while they also filed a lawsuit last month against the u.s. government's restrictions on its product saying congress has acted unconstitutionally as quote judge jury and executioner cases ongoing it did appear to have a partial victory in the u.k. however where a leaked report indicated huawei would be used to build some of the u.k.'s new five g. mobile infrastructure but it would still be excluded from the more sensitive parts

of the rollout and despite all the pressure the company did report first quarter revenues were up thirty nine percent to nearly twenty seven billion dollars all goes to show how significant the five g. race is and the concerns about china gaining any first mover advantage we have to talk about debt now and the extremely profitable yet morally questionable practice of making money out of bad debts now take the case of mozambique one of the world's poorest countries there is a huge pool of natural gas offshore but on shore the country's been on the brink of financial collapse mozambique's economy has been reeling from a debt crisis triggered by two billion dollars worth of hidden loans that were never approved by its parliament this was the so-called tuna bond scandal we've covered in the past money raised to fund a fishing fleet which never caught me fish and plunged the country into a crisis it is now hugely expensive for mozambique to borrow and yet it is still borrowing it owes money to everyone from china to libya and for the people living

there it has die of consequences not to mention the terrible devastation and loss of life brought by site clone i recently which again require. foreign cash to help recover from well surging clifton's joining us now from london she is the director of the jubilee debt campaign it's a u.k. charity working to end poverty called spike just dead it's nice to see sarah jane i am going to play devil's advocate here i'm going to play the part of a modern day capitalist who simply says this is how it works the country or the institution which has the money loans to the one that doesn't it's the way the world goes round present the other side of the argument for me well i suppose to some extent we wouldn't necessarily argue with you we're not opposed to that we think it can be useful for by people and countries and businesses to spread the cost of payments for large purchases of countries things like infrastructure. the issue is if it's commission responsibly and spend it responsibly for countries

whether it's invested productively so if it's invested in things which can regenerate generate or generate sufficient cash to repay that that unfortunate in the case of mozambique this isn't what we saw. secret you were talking about a two billion dollars u.s. as he sat they went to mozambique's parliament they were publicly disclosed to the people of mozambique and what we found out is a large amount of the money is believed to have gone missing various of the bank officials involved and it's important to note that these loans were issued by two london based banks so some of the bank officials involved on the government in question fish was involved are now under investigation by u.s. authorities say so authorities and mozambique coast are ities let's go back to the point you made about responsibility is it a case of there just being more transparency so we can see and everyone can see exactly which money is going where or is it actually the practices which need to

change or actually the books so this is a quite unique case we think hidden relation to mozambique we're worried that there are other cases like this but they just have. and come to light yet because of the secrecy that there is around a lot of lending and borrowing we think there's a kind of there are two issues here really the transparency accountability but there's also the wider structural issues which are pushing a lot of countries like my sam big into that crisis in the first place so we live in a world which is still very unequal with large amounts of resources concentrated in some countries and not in other countries we've seen countries in the west not really deliver so far and the commitment to either mobilize enough finance and development to poor countries to help their mates just a little development goes well mobilize enough climate finance symmetry that has been a basis of progress on tax dodging but not really enough by any means so that's still a lot of illicit finance out of poor countries developing countries so there's

still a very strong need for the countries to do that based development because there are no other sources of funding available so actually tackling that crises in the situation that countries like mozambique find themselves in a quiet progress on these much bigger structural issues we believe but then we also do need to look at every sponsible and corrupt lending and borrowing that's happening i think transparency has to be the starting point so that at the moment there's no obligation on banks to actually disclose the money that they're lending to governments pushing for action at the international level but also in the major global financial centers in the u.k. and u.s. and spending you're probably this is the point you made as well before about the infrastructure of the things actually making sure that the money gets used properly and i believe your research is showing that it's not in many cases that that's true we are seeing. a lot of the borrowing not translate into gains in terms of positively in investment in public services. but we do think that the big issue

here is the finance gap it's the lack of development finance available for countries to actually spend in. sustainable development and the fact that they are having to to borrow as a result and then how there is the debt crises which. pairing how that being that way by the end fashion situations certain clips in a pleasure talking to you thank you for joining us thank you very much finally this week iraq where musicians at the national symphony orchestra are locked in a pay dispute the government i haven't seen a paycheck so far this year some of left but those who haven't so they will continue to perform despite the odds and sounds like a name has their story now from baghdad. a ballet studio with peeling floors of the clay or of dust and ramshackle chairs is that her sole space for the iraqi national symphony orchestra somehow the musicians maintain their focus

seemingly oblivious to the inevitable power cuts that have become common in iraq since last year the orchestra has been involved in what the conductor calls a war with the ministry of culture the staff hasn't been paid so far this year and spent most of twenty eighteen without a paycheck until they were eventually paid in what weapons at the staff of the ministry of culture acts as if they are living in another world they are disregarding the fact that the musicians haven't been paid we have suffered and we are still suffering there are one hundred ten musicians and support staff with the iraqi national symphony orchestra their average salary is eight hundred dollars a month since the pay dispute began last year ten members have left. for years the conductor says the government has attempted to slash the annual one point four million dollars budget of the orchestra then in two thousand and

eighteen an anti-corruption law was implemented it banned staff from working a state job and also getting paid to work with the orchestra since the one nine hundred seventy s. members had been granted a waiver i mean the government should be you know supporting us like because we are to be the you know cultural you know front of the whole country i mean we're the only symphony orchestra in the country and we were one of the first symphony orchestras that were established in the middle east still but you know of course they wouldn't consider it that which is really devastating. the ministry of culture says it's at the bottom when it comes to federal funding and is struggling to pay for its entire portfolio. about reaching an accurate oval agreement with the musicians and noble the ministry of culture needs to have an inclusive vision for the future of their i.q. symphony orchestra need to overcome their outstanding issue in order to rise up
