2:02 am
may be happening now? while was student debt and it's particularly important for morehouse because over 95% of our students leave with some added to that entity list from the us government. that means that american companies can't do business student debt to support their without byway without having a specific licence first. google doesn't have one of those licenses couege and it means the android software that it divides to huawei, that student debt to support their college education. we saw some of the students reaction, they seemed includes gmail, abs, u—tube and thrilled and disbelieving at the security updates for huawei phones, same time. what of students said to you since this announcement was —— u—tube. it means they can't provide that to the company. two of made? exactly that, that they are the huge maker of smartphones, it has surpassed apple as being the largest vendor in the world and thrilled. i've also had students talk about the ways in which this android is the software that huawei phones use. so from now on going will help them make choices they forward , might not otherwise have made. for phones use. so from now on going forward, two won't have those latest example, many of our students want to go into education and some have features, they won't have security features, they won't have security features and it is a massive blow because of course using google chosen to take jobs that are much softwa re because of course using google software is what many people want on more lucrative than education and their devices. it's certainly an now they are rethinking that. others escalation here because it is using
2:03 am
an american company, a huge, successful american company as a potential bargaining chip between china and the us. what does this we re now they are rethinking that. others were thinking about delaying going mean for people who might have to graduate school because they knew bought a huawei phone in the last year or people who have a google they would have to take on more couege they would have to take on more college loans and now they are nexus phone where the hardware was speeding up. they are speeding up their path to go follow their passions. it's hard to understand made by huawei? the implications are quite large for people with huawei phones. in the immediate term nothing will change on the device, but in the rather near future you will find that google created softwa re will find that google created the magnitude of this short of gift software updates and security updates won't be available. you without understanding student debt could find that updated versions of apps like u—tube won't be available on huawei phones. this could affect in the us, it can run into the a lot of peoples devices potentially hundreds of thousands. can you in google would be looking at this explain how crippling it is to some and sang a lot of our customers are people? some of our students, if you going to be affected by this —— i
2:04 am
spoke to a worker at google and they combine the debt that they take on as individuals. some of our students are very concerned about this and and their families leave with over wa nt to are very concerned about this and want to get it solved as soon as possible. —— they might not have updates for youtube. eight how devastating a blow as this to huawei oi’ devastating a blow as this to huawei or its business? i think the bigger picture here is that google and and merck —— android software is just one piece of the problem. this has 100,000. they leave with a mortgage multiplied several times over. some hanging over their head. they really a nalysts say multiplied several times over. some analysts say huawei won't be able to wa nted hanging over their head. they really create any of its devices without wanted to complete their education ata using american products in some way. wanted to complete their education at a school like morehouse. it's an this could be hugely impactfulfor extraordinary place. an extensive education proposition. and then if huawei stop thank you david lee keeping us updated for all things google and huawei. as tensions between iran and the united states run high, president trump has issued blunt threat against tehran on twitter. in a tweet, he said that if iran wanted to fight that would be
