enacting restrictions that would make it more difficult for huawei to do business with us counterparts. and now google has taken the step of limiting its business with the tech giant. a spokesman said: sacred games was the first netflix original series from india. how different was that filmmaking experience compared to other bollywood productions the bbc understands the suspension you've been part of? would see huawei immediately lose first of all, it's challenging, access to some updates it's nicer because you are doing something, to googles android operating system. you're not worried about words new smartphones made by the company or certain content, you are open would also lose applications and openly expressing. i do feel that this and services, such as freedom is very, very, very important so i think that's one google play store gmail. though it would still be able to use a version of the android operating system available through the open source license. aspect and i just think the trump administration believes huawei's smartphones and network equipment could be used by china to spy on americans. that the benefit of marketing and doing huawei has repeatedly publicity, netflix was denied thse claims, very well organised. there was a lot of violence and use saying it is independent of the government. of expletives in sacred games though the google suspension and love stories had is likely to be a major blow a lot of sexual content. such content would normally face censorship issues in india. what has your experience to the company, making been like with the country's certification board? its smartphones less attractive i don't think there should be to western consumers, the censore board in this sense.
4:03 am
i understand a and u it's also likely to further enrage but i don't understand these beijing which has already suggested bans on censorship. any resumption in trade talks what we need is more sex education, between the two countries would be meaningless not banning things. unless washington changes course. caroline rigby, bbc news. everything is available, you can go watch whatever you want. our technology correspondent, dave lee, told us why this might be what you need is sex education, not the other way around. happening now. one of your films, parched, did tremendously well i'm so sure that many on the festival circuit but not so well at the indian box office. has netflix or amazon prime or other people with huawei them. services such as that given those that means that american companies kind of films a different can't do business without byway without having a specific distribution model? licence first. i know when you have a film google doesn't have one of those licenses and it means the android or a series on a digital software that it provides to huawei, now you might have heard that includes gmail, much about the debate in the united states around large amounts of student debt — abs, youtube and security but there was a wonderful surprise updates for huawei phones, in store for the students it means they can't provide of morehouse college that to the company. two of the huge maker in atlanta georgia. on behalf of the eight generations of smartphones, it has surpassed apple as being the largest vendor of my family who have been in this in the world and android is the software that country, we are going to put a little fuel in your bus. huawei phones use. i've got the alumni over there, this is a challenge to you, alumni.
4:04 am
so from now on going forward, they this is my class, 2019. my family is making a grant to eliminate their student loans. won't have theirs latest features, applause. the right the security features and it's a massive blow because of course using google software is what many consumers want on the device. so as you say, an escalation here will doctor david thomas, because this is using an american president of morehouse college company, huge american company as a told me how he felt as the news of this incredible surprise gift began to sink in. well, thrilled captures it. potential bargaining chip you could i was also amazed. say between china and the us. what i had no idea. is this mean for people who have no idea that robert smith was going to make that announcement. i was thrilled and amazed and gratified by his generosity. bought from the company in the past it means so much in year or people you have a google nexus phone whether hardware was made by them. the implications are quite large for people with these the lives of our students. phones and in the immediate, nothing will change in the device but in the future, quite the nearfuture will change in the device but in the future, quite the near future you will find security updates that google has provided will not be how unusual is it available on huawei phones, you will for an alumni of this find updated versions of apps, they university or indeed any university or college to do
4:05 am
something like this? won't be available on huawei phones. it's unusual. i've been in academia is a professor, a dean, this is going to have a massive impact on the security of people and a president for over 33 years and i've been to many graduations devices potentially in google will and i've never seen a gift offered like this at a graduation to erase be looking at the scene, this is the student debt and it's awful lot of our customers are going particularly important be affected by this. having spoken for morehouse because over 95% of our students leave toa be affected by this. having spoken to a source at google, there are with some student debt to support their college education. very very keen to get this solved. they don't want to be taking the action and they are talking to the us government to try and solve this as quick as possible, to get that access to the customers they have that have the smartphones. and very briefly, how devastating is this a blow for business? the bigger we saw some of the students picture here is that google ‘s android software is just one reaction, they seemed picture here is that google ‘s android software isjust one piece of american—made technology that huawei makes use of and so, imagine thrilled and disbelieving at the same time. what of students said to you since this problem, perhaps matt was applied several times or stop some a nalysts say applied several times or stop some analysts say that huawei might —— tab on mac when be able to continue without using american products in some way. this announcement was made?
4:06 am
as tensions between iran and the united states run high, president trump has issued a blunt threat against tehran on twitter. in a tweet, he said that if iran wanted to fight, that would be the end exactly that, that of the country. those tensions have seen they are thrilled. a pair of us warships head i've also had students talk about the ways in which this towards the gulf in recent days. will help them make choices a rocket was fired a few hours ago into baghdad's heavily fortified green zone, which houses government offices and foreign diplomatic missions. who fired it isn't known, but the us has accused iran they might not otherwise have made. of meddling in the region. i asked steve herman, white house bureau chief of voice of america news, what the impact for example, many of president trump's of our students want tweet might be. to go into education and some have chosen to take jobs that are much more lucrative than education it certainly doesn't help calm worries across the world about a possible clash between the united states and iran. it should be noted it is not and now they are rethinking that. the first time that trump has made such a blatant threat in this manner. there was a similar tweet back in july 2018. others were thinking about delaying going to graduate school because they knew we're really not sure what prompted they would have to take on more it on sunday afternoon here, college loans and now they are speeding up.
4:07 am
perhaps it could have they are speeding up their path been that rocket into to go follow their passions. the green zone you mentioned. you can reach me on twitter — it might have been some of the other actions taken in recent days i'm @regedahmadbbc. in the region that are blamed on iranian proxies. hello there. the weather is not looking too bad it could have been some intelligence that the president was privy to, over the next few days. this afternoon, and reacted a mixture of bright spells and a few passing showers but the temperatures to out of concern to get are going to be doing reasonably well over the next few days, tehran to back off. pushing into the low 20s or it could be recent news reports in the next four spots. that sort of portrayjohn bolton, we will look at what happened the national security advisor as the real hawk yesterday weatherwise and we had in the administration plenty of showers around, and trump as more of a dove. this line of showers stretching or it could be a combination from dorset across the midlands of all of the above. and into lincolnshire is where we had the heaviest it sounds like it could be anything. downpours caused by the winds we've been seeing in the last few kind of bashing together, the air forced to rise, days and weeks an attempt making these big showers by the white house that were heavy and to calm things down. slow—moving in nature. the rain coming down so heavily a really calm the rhetoric down in warwickshire that it was bouncing between iran at the us and to say we don't off the roads on the pavements. really want a war. why am i telling you about this? how much store can be put we will see similar things into a donald trump tweet that seems setting up later on today, i will explain more in the moment to say the opposite?
4:08 am
as you can recall, we had that whole but over the next few hours, a lot of cloud around, rollercoaster with north korea fog patches, lincolnshire, north—east england, and eastern areas of scotland. still a few showers where we went from "fire and fury" in the north—west but it's not going to be a cold start to the day. threatened on pyongyang, to the president praising temperatures 8—12. as we go through monday morning, letters he was receiving most of us will start on a cloudy and the subsequent two summits. note, the weather again and will slowly brighten up with some sunny intervals breaking so to predict how this out, probably the best of these is going to end is really very across wales and south—west england. these convergence zones, difficult at this point. one of them affecting east scotland, this is where you are most and just to remind us likely to catch a shower, of the big picture here. slow—moving, heavy, these tensions between the us and iran, where do you think it is going as those sanctions on iran really start to bite? thundery as well. they are definitely biting. that is something that is pretty easy to fathom. but what we do have is messages there could be a few showers from tehran, riyhadh and washington, for northern ireland and wales. the one message that all three aside from the showers, where the sunshine does come parties are in agreement of, through, it should feel reasonably pleasant. looking at the weather is they are saying publicly picture into tuesday, that they don't want war pressure does start to build and they don't think across western parts of the country
4:09 am
and at the same time, there will be war. a weak weather front across the far voting has ended in the seventh and final phase north of scotland, bringing thicker of india's general election. cloud and threatening rain mainly a number of exit polls suggest the prime minister, into the northern isles. narendra modi, and his bjp party will win a second term in office — although they've been wrong in the past. it's another day where we could see the votes from the vast electorate few showers popping up, of 900 million people particularly across eastern won't be counted until thursday. areas of england. 00:09:16,775 --> 2147483051:41:23,103 more of us should enjoy more 2147483051:41:23,103 --> 4294966103:13:29,430 in a way of dry weather, here's sangita myska in delhi. the way in which exit polls are conducted in this country is literally someone standing outside a polling booth and asking people who have voted which party they have chosen. as you know, this is not entirely reliable. having said that, the four biggest exit polls, three of them show that narendra modi and his bjp party will be returned to government with a majority. back in 2014, mr modi achieved that, it was the first time in 30 years that any party in india had won an absolute majority. the question is — can he do it again in 2019? well, of course, thursday is the day
4:10 am
that the votes are actually counted and then for sure in our elections — in our election special here on bbc world we will be bringing you that final result. just to remind you, the bjp, mr modi is a hindu nationalist. and what his critics will say is over the last five years in power he has not delivered on policy, instead, he has played identity politics, that india is more divided than ever along hindu caste lines, along religious lines. but his supporters will come back vehemently and tell you that he is the only man who will be able to deliver sustained development here in india and the only person who has taken solid steps towards dealing with corruption. as i say, the results will be out on thursday, we will be bringing those to you. 17 people have been injured in an explosion that hit a tourist bus in the egyptian capital, cairo. the blast detonated close to a prestigious new museum near the pyramids. it's not yet known who was behind
4:11 am
the bombing, but islamist militants have attacked tourists in egypt in the past. sophia tran—thomson has this report. it is not the experience tourists come to egypt for — their tour bus windows almost completely blown out. the bomb went on sunday, near the country's famed giza pyramids, just a few hundred metres from the new grand egyptian museum, due to open next year. security sources say the roadside bomb, containing nails and pieces of metal, exploded next to the bus, wounding 17 people, mostly from south africa, and causing injuries to egyptians in a nearby car. officials say most of the injuries were minor, while three people were treated in hospital. it is not yet known who was behind the bombing but islamist militants have attacked tourists in egypt in the past. it is the latest blow to the country's tourism industry, after three vietnamese holiday makers and their guide were killed in a similar blast in december. the sector has slowly been recovering in the wake of the 2011 uprising and the 2015 bombing of a russian passengerjet.
4:12 am
before this incident, tourism peaked with a record influx 01:14 million visitors. but last year only half that number entered the country. timing is critical, with little more than a month before egypt hosts the african cup of nations. all eyes will be on security. sophia tran—thomson, bbc news. the family at of emilio sulla said they thought he was abounded. he was transferring, french foot club to play for cardiff city. those close to him say he was already a cardiff player. the most clubs insist the tra nsfer player. the most clubs insist the transfer was never completed. the death of emiliano sala in a light plane crash at the end of january shocked the footballing world. among those at his funeral in argentina were officials
4:13 am
from sala's new club, cardiff city. the 28—year—old was the player who cardiff had hoped could save their season. but no sooner had his body been found, recriminations began. cardiff refused a demand from nantes for the first instalment on sala's £15 million fee. in the provincial town of progreso where sala grew up dreaming of becoming a footballer, feelings are running high. almost everyone here believes that at the time of his death, emiliano sala was a cardiff city player. they saw pictures of him signing his contract. they heard the cardiff city manager neil warnock, at this very ground, describing sala as "my player". sala's best friend now bears a permanent dedication to the footballer‘s memory. he wants accountability for his friends death.
4:14 am
much of the anger is directed at arrangements for sala's last fateful journey, at night in bad weather and with a pilot, david ibbotson, who it appears wasn't qualified to make the flight. his body has never been found. one of the hardest decisions a pilot takes is making the decision not to go. it's a single engine flight over a long stretch of water, in winter at night in icy conditions. i think most pilots would not have done that flight. as more details emerged about the flight, at home in argentina, there was indignation. horacio sala sadly died a few days after he spoke to us. nantes insisted they supported sala throughout his career. cardiff city said they offered a seat on a commercial
4:15 am
flight, but he declined. but in a statement, the club said: emiliano sala's mother has urged the two clubs to resolve their dispute. wyre davies, bbc news. you stay with us on bbc news. still to come — we hearfrom one of bollywood's upcoming stars, radhika, and her take on film censorship. this morning an indian air force plane carrying mr gandhi's body landed in delhi. the president of india walked to the plane to solemnly witness mr gandhi's final return from the political battlefield.

ireland has voted overwhelmingly in favour of gay marriage. in doing so it has become the first country in the world to approve the change in a national referendum. it was a remarkable climax to what was surely the most extraordinary funeral ever given to a pop singer. it has been a peaceful funeral demonstration so far but suddenly the police are tear gassing the crowd. we don't yet know why. the pre—launch ritual is well established here. helen was said to be in good spirits butjust a little apprehensive. in the last hour, east timor has become the world's newest nation. it was a bloody birth for a poor country and the challenges ahead are daunting. but for now, at least, it is time to celebrate.

this is bbc world news, the latest headlines: google is cutting huawei from using some of its android mobile services days after the us announced it was blacklisting the chinese tech firm. president trump warns tehran that if it wants to fight the united states, it will be the end of iran. it's a case that's galvanised france — and symbolised a passionate debate about the right—to—die. vincent has been a vegetative state since a motorcycle accident in 2008. but now he's set to be denied the essential care that keeps him alive. andy beatt reports. a life or death battle that split a family and the whole of france. outside the hospital at the centre of the storm, a final stand for protesters. inside, 42—year—old vincent lambert — paralysed, brain—damaged and in a state of minimal consciousness after a traffic accident more than a decade ago.
