the global crisis of 200789 german employment had a quite well actually because employers moved out employees to took part i was issued so you sort of laying them off the offer. was insurance and thereby you were able to reduce. global do you doubt actually more people and they expect that something similar will happen. next recession but if so then if the recession the last long there sooner or later that you know you're in unemployment figures or right thanks so much for your thoughts on that. well as we move towards 5 g. mobile technology there are growing concerns that with more devices connected to the internet cyber attacks could also increase and nothing exists in isolation you see the world leader in 5 g. technology is china's while away which is at the center of that trade war between the united states and china now the u.s. believes while weighs 5 g.
12:34 pm
technology could be used by china to spy on other nations in sensitive industries protecting our ability to surf the net to use our mobile phones and apps is $100000000000.00 u.s. dollar a year industry it's startling that 88 percent of businesses have experienced cyber attacks in the last year and alarmingly one in 3 of been breached more than 3 times in the last year according to research by cyber security company carbon black with the trade war a global economic slowdown and the president facing impeachment our economics editor caught up with the chief executive of carbon black he began by asking patrick morley whether the advent of 5 g. should concern us. in today's world there's an arms race going on and every time a large technology moves are made there's risk because there's a whole economy around cyber security and around attacker's and 5 g.
12:35 pm
is going to provide a lot of new capabilities that's going to help a lot of companies globally and consumers globally but it same time will introduce new risks and what do those risks look like well interesting thing if you if you look at other large technology moves that have occurred over the last number of years what we've seen continuously is that the the 2 primary groups that are driving attacks globally which is nation states which are countries like china and russia north korea and iran as well as organized crime quickly figure out how to leverage these next moves from a technology platform standpoint in order to advance their aims whether or not those aims are to go collect information about other countries to sway a geo political issues in those countries or if it's over organized crime to actually make money off of these new technology moves and so we don't exactly know 'd how 5 g. will introduce new risks we just know it will so walk away is one of the companies
12:36 pm
which is leading the field in 5 g. technology the united states believes that one way is the back door for the chinese state to spy on the u.s. it's not something that you agree with. well we certainly understand some of the concerns that the u.s. has stated and we also recognize that china from an attack standpoint is driving a lot of the attacks as to whether or not wall way actually has those back doors or not we haven't actually done the research to be able to say that but we certainly understand that there's concerns coming out of the political connection to the economic drivers that china has and obviously while weight provides a lot of the infrastructure globally right now for countries and and so we certainly take. the point of view that the u.s. must have some insight but we can't comment on ourselves and you know you mentioned
12:37 pm
china there are a lot says one of the leading nations where it's that's a coming from but does the u.s. use similar methods against the chinese state. well what we do know is that there are a number of attacks that come out of the u.s. as well most of those in our research are actually from an organized crime standpoint and they're also from what's called an island hopping standpoint which is other countries using the u.s. as a launching point for attacks we also know given some of what's occurred across the globe over the last few years that the u.s. leverage is techniques as well from an attack standpoint. and as to whether or not they're attacking china or not again when we look at what what we're seeing across the globe we can't comment specifically whether or not their government generated attacks coming out of the u.s. but we certainly see attacks coming from the u.s.
12:38 pm
and what ways integral to president trumps trade war with china. what's the impact on u.s. businesses from that trade will. well certainly what we've all seen is that there's concerns across the global economy on the trade war happening right now it's not just the u.s. that's impacted it's countries across the globe companies across the globe are all interwoven today and certainly you know there's recognition that the ongoing trade war right now is not necessarily good for any of the global economies whether or not those are the u.s. economy chinese economy or other colonies across the globe and when it comes to president trump himself as well we have a president who isn't afraid of calling out company c.e.o.'s or companies or the fed chairman. and he's now possibly facing impeachment how does that affect business this. uncertainty causes concern across global markets and for business
12:39 pm
leaders across the globe you have to ask yourself what the potential impacts are to you and to your company and what we see from an attack standpoint. from a cyber security standpoint is all of this uncertainty again creates opportunities for nation state attackers to leverage what's happening inside of different countries across the globe to drive their own agenda the political instability that's created by. by the impeach possible impeachment process is that healthy for the economy and it's a distraction for businesses well i think certainly any time there's question marks about the government in particular about the president it does call and it calls risk from for business leaders within that country and certainly we see a bit of that the u.s. having said that in the u.s.
12:40 pm
right now trump has been very aggressive about his willingness to call call out different organizations etc so i think the u.s. economy at least right now is a bit used to it. wildfires are still burning in brazil's amazon forests prompting a warning from some scientists that escalating deforestation could eventually turn the rainforest into a dry savannah despite present. caving into pressure and placing a 60 day ban on fires for clearing farmland wildfires are only just slightly down from the highest number in a decade the sinew and reports from the state of matter grosser. the. 60 year old agronomist. walks through the charred remains of his land for the 1st time since fire destroyed it all it does this is the sum these were my seedling beads or years of work here you would grab the dirt in it smelled it differently it had life now it's and. but governor applied

12:42 pm
spreading until a week ago all this looked like a kind of in chanted forest what scientists call an environmental corridor with more than 100 native species and not just trees but also animals like wild deer armadillos boars poulos and many many more are the fires that destroyed all this in some cases were accidental in others intentional but in all cases they were manmade . the mato grosso state environmental department argues that the number of fires is relative. compared to $28.00 tain which was a rainy year the. amount of deforestation will double this year yet if you compare it to other years it's quite everett's nothing extraordinary. but that's not really the veil says she's lived in the area for 20 years and says her family never experienced anything close to an wildfires came right up to their doorstep they

a century ago exploration and development in the area began recently and it has changed the life of as mall town located in the province of no can forever. game to find work she says thousands of others are doing the same. there is a real state deficit not only companies are bringing people to work here but there are others who come to find work because there is full employment here my grandson found a job in a few days that doesn't happen anywhere else in the country the oil and gas industries booming here and companies from around the world are flocking to walk on water which means dead cow in spanish it 4 provinces in the country covering an area of 30000 square kilometers. of the remains largely untapped and that's why argentina needs for incompetence to help explore and exploiting this area but the current economic crises and government policies oppose

a major challenge to this area that if well developed could help solve argentina's endemic economic problems last month that government announced that contracts would be paid at a set exchange rate far weaker than the market rate it also froze an increase in the price of fuel for $90.00 days now it authorized this morning crease but companies investing here i worried and some have in their operations he said what is the leader of the powerful workers labor union he says i'm one of the meets predictability. in this activity there cannot be uncertainty you need to give clear steps this business needs to be like everywhere else in the world why do we have to be different we all have this wealth and should be able to generate job stability we want to create legislation that the guy who is in power in argentina they cannot be changed in detail the business needs to be run by development in this area comes with a cost to get the oil and gas out companies use fracking last year greenpeace told

and british group shell of dumping highly toxic waste threatening wildlife and human health. the extraction of oil and gas is not ecological we have to begin with it has an impact on the environment and the residues of what they extract and up somewhere we have to develop more plants to deal with these residues and even more investment in these areas we have to mitigate the impact of future generations. is in desperate need of funds and he's one of the ways it has to get but only a serious long term government plan is what will guarantee that what is extracted here will change argentina's future for good. and that's our show for this week but remember you can get in touch with us via twitter use the hash tag a j c t c when you do. there's more for you

12:49 pm
iraq but no signs of a political solution to end the crisis. today is about authoritarianism versus the rule of law ongoing braces for more protests as more make us go to court over the wearing face masks during demonstrations. back in fashion the u.s. china trade war has led many american brands to shift production to bangladesh. welcome to the program north korea has broken off day new tries ation talks with the united states the chief nuclear negotiator kim yong gil said their expectations were not fulfilled delegations from both countries were in stockholm to discuss pyongyang ending its nuclear program in exchange for sanctions being lifted ellen fisher reports. in the chill of an evening in sweden a freeze returned to negotiations between the u.s. and north korea the 2 sides of been meeting in stockholm for the 1st time since previous nuclear talks broke down at
12:50 pm
a field summit in vietnam in february but it quickly became clear the 2 are dramatically far apart the us raise expectations by offering suggestions like a flexible approach new method and creative solution is but they have disappointed us greatly and dampen are enthusiastic for negotiation by bringing nothing to the negotiation table both sides agreed to restart the talks after donald trump's remarkable visit to north korea in june at the end of the g. 7 in japan he met the north korean president kim jump in at the demilitarized zone the area marking the border between north and south korea and then took the dramatic step over the border the 1st u.s. president to do so there was hope fresh talks might make progress after president trumps national security adviser john bolton was fired he was seen by the north as an obstacle to a deal he admitted he was deeply skeptical they would ever give up their nuclear weapons and the day after the new talks were nice pyongyang confirmed it had test
12:51 pm
fired a ballistic missile designed for submarine launch a step forward in technology and a clear message to the americans. even a few hours before the talks broke down u.s. secretary of state mike pompeo was confident of a breakthrough there were 4 pillars that the 2 leaders agreed to and we were very hopeful that we will make some progress we're mindful this will be the 1st time we've had a chance to have a discussion in quite some time in a statement the state department said the united states and the d.p. r. k. north korea will not overcome a legacy of 70 years of war and who still a-t. on the korean peninsula through the course of a single saturday these are with issues and they require a strong commitment by both countries the united states has that commitment the u.s. says it is accepted an invitation from the swedes to return for more talks in 2 weeks time for their part the north koreans see the denuclearization of the korean peninsula is still possible but only when obstacles that threaten their safety and
12:52 pm
check their development are removed completely without a shadow of doubt that suggests that until the u.s. starts to ease sanctions on north korea they won't be going back to the negotiating table alan fischer al-jazeera washington. well scott snyder is a senior fellow at the council on foreign relations he says north korea will not budge on its nuclear ambitions regardless of washington's bargaining tactics. the biggest reason i think is related to president trump's appearance at the demilitarized zone you know following hanoi the north koreans were facing their own failure and the meeting at the d.m.z. really rewrote that script and made it look like president trump was the one who was calling on kim jong un. and combination with the perception that president trump as talked about a new process you know indicated possibly he keeps on playing up the
12:53 pm
relationship with kim jong un it's true that president trump has met 3 times with the decision maker in north korea but we haven't gotten the decision that the u.s. wants national security adviser bolton notably thought that kim jong un is moving in the opposite direction kim jong un is actually sending opposite signals domestically because he's spent a lot more time with the scientists than he has with the businessmen in north korea in recent months and so i think that north korea is signaling that they want to keep their nuclear program in fact. and as we all know they've also ramped up testing in various areas that would suggest that they're really trying to drive a hard bargain and really intimidate the u.s. into accepting north korea's nuclear power and i think that that's a bridge too far even for president from. as
12:54 pm
a more anti-government on the rest on live fire in iraq's capital baghdad officials say at least 5 protesters have been killed after today curfew ended it takes the number killed in the last 5 days to almost 100 with thousands more injured a number of t.v. stations have also been attacked him and can has more from baghdad. despite the internet being cut off across most of the country iraqi protestors have found a way to upload videos on to social media sites that appear to show live fire and take us clouds these are pictures iraq's government doesn't want you to say they paint a picture of what's happening on the ground and help explain why they have been many deaths and injuries over the past few days. the process is not holding anything in their hands except for iraqi flags they calling for the most basic of rights employment and services we need safety and an amnesty law that takes people out of the secret and public prisons iraq has become full of secret prisons the
12:55 pm
authorities are building prisons are only they're not building hospitals or schools being to trinity bettin they have a curfew has been removed that decisions made by the head of parliament and the prime minister applied on the ground because iraqi people have become bored of all the promises that these decisions are applied. the protesters are angry over what they say is government corruption and lack of access to basic needs a curfew that's been in place in baghdad has now ended but the situation is still tense despite the lifting of the ban here in baghdad where the focal point for the protesters is nowhere near as busy as it should be as you can see there's a big heavy security presence now while the protesters are doing is they gathering in streets around tucker a square which is what they've done in the last few days what they're trying to do is get a critical mass together and come into this square the protests are not just in the
12:56 pm
capital but across the south and central parts of iraq and now there's also a political crisis brewing. paul who wants to convene for an emergency session to discuss the protests it never met. 3 major political blocs refused to let their members of parliament sit iraq you know requires a minimum number of m.p.'s to be present before a session can begin instead the speaker of the parliament mohamed el b.c. held a meeting with people who claim to represent the protestors late on saturday he held a news conference surrounded by his party loyalists it was like a campaign rally than a press conference and with coals for an election from protesters and other parties i hope to see set out a range of economic reforms and social reforms he says his party will introduce. loans will be given in the form of credits bank credits be initiated for the purposes of establishing factories and providing equipment this will enable us to
12:57 pm
stay away from any corruption so facilities will not be given in cash loans yet will be credit for the establishment of factories the speaker is not alone in trying to appeal to the protesters iraqi politicians of all stripes and religious leaders appear to be throwing their support behind the protest movement but it's not clear if the protesters will accept them given the fact that they blame the same politicians for the di economic situation that sparked their protests in the 1st place and the government for violent scenes like these and ron paul how does a baghdad. well fine sell alister bodies a former iraq a u.n. ambassador he says it's difficult to see how new elections could make a difference my fear is that a new set of elections while possible under the iraqi constitution under iraqi law . would 'd not result in a substantially different enough different parliament than the one that we have and
12:58 pm
it's extreme and and elections in iraq are a rather difficult to organize so it's difficult to see you reluctant on a short term basis to deal with what is in fact already a crisis in the country. that there's a there's a peaceable and rational outcome from all of that i was here is that the political class is so disconnected from the rest of the country that it may believe that we've had demonstrations before so the political class may be gambling is not well this is these will just peter out as they happened prior year. the on the other hand. the number of casualties are mounting such a rate that started so may become an impetus for the demonstrators to continue to go to the streets 2 so you've got to sort of competing forces one against the other and when you're going through it as we are now it's difficult to tell whether we
12:59 pm
are you know in the one scenario where they'll just peter out again and be back to business as usual for 'd the political elite or whether in fact this is gaining a life of its own that will come to threaten the very political system. a court hearing is taking place in hong kong over the face mask ban put in place by. hundreds of people demonstrated against the ban on saturday despite the march of history being canceled by organizers was called off the hong kong's rail network was closed because of what authorities called malicious vandalism on friday crowds set fire to metro stations during rallies against the ban on a group of pro-democracy legislators heading into the hearing say they've applied for an injunction on the mosque as a undermines the rule of law today is about offshore terrorism 1st rule of law i would say this is one of the most important constitutional cases in the history of
1:00 pm
hong kong are we facing off or terry where the government can say whatever is law is law and that whatever it is apply and we say when they would be repealed then we would be repealed or is that the case that hong kong still have to the rule of law that we still governed by the rule of law and the common law principles of the separation of powers and that is why the legislative council is here asking the court to make a determination on the legislative roll off the legislative council. has more now from hong kong. a march in some sporadic protests here in hong kong on saturday much less than what we've seen over the last 48 hours and much less than we've seen in previous weekends and peaceful for the most part on saturday that's what we saw a very different picture on friday night and part of the violence that took place on friday night after this mass ban was announced for the empty.
