a virtual meeting with members of the u.k. parliament the chinese firm recently stressed that it poses no threat we are the most probably the most inspected. company in the world in the u.k. probably is what you hear and there is no evidence of the nation's. doors in in our products despite years or true. but in the west way is widely seen as being compliant with the chinese government and for these experts who are always involvement in 5 g. was always going to be problematic in 10 years time the danger is that having that back to access would pose once we're driving autonomous car to the top to traffic lights once we've got people who are experts in their fields on the other side of the world the world doing remote controlled surgery because of the lower latency in the connection there is that when we're going to have problems britain's rethink

there are many areas where we should be cooperating fully with china and but there are certain areas where we must prioritize our own national security interests and find the chinese response and how tough it will be hard to predict but many countries are doubtless watching carefully as they to weigh up the future of chinese technology in their vital infrastructure. al-jazeera london. iran is asking south korea to release billions of dollars it goes for oil exports and transactions dating back several years speaking to our tour at the foreign ministry spokesman so that iran is currently negotiating with seoul i mean. we will explore all legal and diplomatic avenues to bring this money back to the country it's held illegally in south korean banks and their reasoning is totally illegal and irrational the us is putting pressure on them that's not related to us it's between them and the us our nation wants the money it earned through illegal trade back

we've had a historic and traditional relationship with south korea but these actions have negative impacts on this relationship so it's been more than 3 years since for arab states impose a land sea and embargo on cutter it's illegal bid to remove the blockade now hinges on a ruling by the international court of justice to be given on tuesday i somehow reports . for qatar is this has been a long battle on many fronts the international court of justice is the issue its verdict on a dispute over space riots. it began in june 2017 when sandy arabia u.a.e. but her reign and egypt severed ties with qatar and imposed a land sea and blockade qatar took the case to the un calling on the international civil aviation authority to declare the blockade illegal as part of

the dispute the blockade in countries have barred qatari aircraft from entering their space which qatar says violates the convention on international civil aviation referred to as the chicago convention the blockade in countries challenge the qatari move saying the u.n. agency doesn't have jurisdiction to handle the case but into a $1018.00 the international civil aviation authority rejected that claim insisting that it does have jurisdiction to mars stone but we are not there yet in terms of qatar's progress because while qatar will move a step closer into regaining airspace access that they like the rest of the world are entitled to fly over actually i k i have never dealt with anything quite like this in over their 70 years of existence then you can expect running in parallel to this a separate case that will be seeking compensation this isn't the 1st legal fight

between qatar and its neighbors in 2018 the qatari government took legal action against the u.a.e. at the hague based court accusing it of a series of measures targeting qatari nationals those measures broke up families denied qatari students access to universities and medical facilities in the u.a.e. the court ordered the u.a.e. to allow families to be reunited and qatari students to be given the chance to complete their. nation in the emirates but i think that's part of the strategy. has used that as a very sensible strategy to adopt is that. you need to have a solid legal basis for saying that the blockade was was our law and the consequences of blockade result in in legitimate legal action being taken

international efforts to mend fences between qatar and the blockade in countries have so far failed and the international community has long been concerned that the blockade of qatar has undermined stability in the region. hundreds of sailors in california battling a fire in the u.s. warship for a 2nd day crew have been trying to keep the flames away from nearly 4000000 liters of oil on board the u.s.s. bonhomme richard fire suppression system was knocked out when the blaze began on sunday or the ship was docked in san diego. the pressure is growing on other top u.s. sports teams to change their names after a move by the washington redskins redskins of the american football team is it dropping the redskins reference and its logo which had been long considered racially insensitive to native americans it's been in place for 87 years but

pressure has grown during the black lives matter movement and protests against colonialism and racism ok sponsors have asked the team to change its name and nyc stopped selling the team's merchandise well earlier we spoke to the n.f.l. broadcaster michael costa about the name change and he spoke about the red tails idea that there are other options. the most likely names would be either the warriors which would allow the team to keep presumably their logo or something like the red tails or the red tail hawks which would let them keep the red part of their nickname so they could keep their team song and things like that that also was the name of an air squadron in the 2nd world war of black pilots from the tuskegee institute now bama so there's not really a local connection but there is a national connection behind that the problem is and the reason why they haven't announced a name is that most of these names have already been trademarked by people they call trademark squatters and there's one guy in particular who has trademark

something like 15 or 20 different possible nicknames for the team and they're probably having to negotiate a deal with him to get that trademark there are other names like the kansas city chiefs american football team the atlanta braves baseball team where they look at that nickname as being something that honors the warrior spirit which is another reason why worriers might be the prime runner for the washington team but this is taking place in colleges in america already for example florida state are the seminoles with the approval of the seminole tribe who are flora who are natives of florida and never surrendered to the u.s. government others in north dakota say to sioux nation was divided on whether to continue to be the nickname of north dakota university to fighting sioux but the legislature in that state changed it anyway because i think the point is if you're offending a certain a certain percentage of any ethnic group why is it worth fighting to keep the name

why not just why not just say look we're going to stop offending you and we'll choose another name i think is for it will take months the city has been cleared to play in the season's champions league off to winning the appeal against it's a european ban european football's governing body a ruled in favor of that city breached a financial fair play rules the court of arbitration for sport found that says he did not overinflate this suit contributions although they did fail to cooperate with the case and the courts cut the funds from 34 to 11 $1000000.00. so this is out there these are the top stories and the united states has toughened its stance on china's disputed claims to offshore resources in most of the south china sea calling them completely unlawful the chinese embassy in washington is accuse the u.s. of trying to stir up trouble in the region to try to you has more from beijing.

china all issues of territory are a red line and they they've become farias at this statement now we haven't heard from beijing as yet but we have had a statement from the chinese embassy in the u.s. quite a lengthy statement saying that they firmly oppose the u.s. secretary of state's comments saying that he's trying to stir up trouble in the region that he's intentionally sowing discord between china and its neighbors and that is also exaggerating the problems in the region the world health organization says the coronavirus pandemic will worsen if countries fail to adhere to basic health care precautions it says too many nations are heading in the wrong direction as the number of infections worldwide passes 13000000. restrictions are being reimposed in the u.s. state of california to combat a surge in corona virus infections businesses including gyms bars and movie theaters been told to close it's one of several u.s. states which have seen a spike in cases. of brazil's president says he's feeling well and will return to
