a dictatorship that wants to stamp out all forms of opposition. i think that i was outrage and really not surprised this is such an outlandish claim that somehow they have jurisdiction an american citizen lobbying an american government is just completely out of line i think i'm not the only person who's out ritually up spoken to a number of congressional offices and i as i said from the very beginning when the law what if they're going to come after me they must love marched down to capitol hill and the rest speaker pelosi said senator rubio said and everybody in the white house because they too have been under this law and articles you know that it is using to charge people like me. a session and colluding with foreign powers and that i think is what they're both not understanding is that they're creating really a perception of how desperate and house they are global international influence and

pressure i think that this is what dictators do one day know that they have lost the hearts and minds of their people they go out and disqualify opposition leaders who they issue or and address before decisions and they delay any sort of democratic practices and process and elections because they want to saw what is. productive and i think that they might be able to lead us more in here all of that are really doing is growing their movement and reinforcing the commitment all of us have that will once again be a free city one day. president on top is leading u.s. pressure on chinese company bite downs to sell the american arm of its popular video up to talk us media are also reporting microsoft is in talks to buy tech talk

the u.s. government's about he data collected through the app could end up in the hands of china's government we're looking back we may be bending down we may be doing some other things. but a lot of things so we'll see what happens but we are looking at a lot of alternatives with respect to their. interference the chief technology correspondent of the u.s. news website x.t.s. and she says the apps connection to the government in beijing is murky. there is a concern that the 2 companies are very tightly tied even though the app is very separate they have to talk for outside of china and then a separate app inside arena they rely on similar technology so i think there is a large question of how divorced these 2 companies can be these issues have all become very jumbled security privacy national security it's very hard to separate at the moment certainly there are concerns that tick tock would either send data to china or give american users info they have said obviously that they're going to

keep all that data outside of china that no tick tock users data goes to china. you know it's all about trust at this point and trust is pretty low pretty well on both sides of the u.s. china dispute you know in the u.s. i think it's very unclear what a ban would look like and what it would mean you know it's very hard to ban something that's popular among the youth it's just you know if your parents tell you not to do something it makes you want to do it more. but you know we'll see we'll see i think before we see a band i think we might see fresher as we appears to be coming out today to celtic talk when you know that may well happen there is an investigation underway by the u.s. treasury department syfy is to look and see whether a 2017 deal that paved the way for tick-tock could be reversed 3 people including a teenage boy have been charged over a huge twitter act the targeted high profile uses the juggler accounts belonging to

whatever amount you pledge i will double it and essentially using the big corn accounts belonging to these 3 people to line their own pockets the 17 year old who was arrested here in florida on friday is said to be the mastermind behind this he's only 17 so we can't name him for legal reasons but he only just graduated from high school here so this is a sophisticated hack on a level and a scale that hasn't really been seen before and prosecutors announced charging the 3rd the 17 year old with 30 felony charges. mexico has overtaken the u.k. as the countries where the world's highest 3rd highest coronavirus death toll more than $46.00 and a half 1000 on friday a multi-billion dollar agreement with the united nations was announced to buy medical equipment and supplies an old apollo has more from mexico city. but mexico is a country in desperate need covert 9000 has killed more than 46000 of its citizens

so on friday president under this manuel lopez obrador signed an agreement with the united nations for international assistance the $6800000000.00 deal will cover a wide range of medicines medical equipment and future back scenes from global suppliers is to see me this means we are going to obtain all the medicine from countries across the world good quality medicine at low prices and without corruption. officials also announced the creation of a new government agency tasked with the distribution of those medicines as the health crisis continues to worsen nationwide the epicenter of the corona virus outbreak in mexico is here in the country's capital were locked down restrictions have been lifted and many non essential services have been allowed to reopen. many now fear worsening contagion will force local officials to announce new law down measures in the days to come but i think one of the indicative that it's important for it to be now and if we don't change the trend than that could be exponential
