sandringham estate in norfolk. areas. we could see some rain at daniela relph, bbc news, times, some uncertainty in the details of the rain. it will at the chelsea flower show. probably turn claudia and breezy the series finale of game of thrones through the weekend. that's your i would probably go for the other phone. how important do you think things like google maps, youtube, all those applications are? has drawn record viewing figures, weather. —— cloudier. very important, to be able to have access to them on your phone on the move. so, if they didn't offer that, according to hbo. it would put me off using around 19.3 million viewers in the us tuned in to the final the phone completely. today, a huawei spokesman admitted episode on sunday. hbo said sunday's live television future access to some popular apps audience and viewers on its apps couldn't be guaranteed. it's just a question of what's exceeded the previous series high going to happen in the future of 18.1; million for the penultimate episode a week ago. with updates and we're at this the series, which began in 2011, stage not quite sure how that is going to pan out. is set among warring families 00:03:31,566 --> 2147483051:38:30,498 in the fictional kingdom of 2147483051:38:30,498 --> 4294966103:13:29,430 westeros, and is hbo's biggest hit. but in the fullness of time, we'll be more sure. is this a security issue, or is this a trade war? it absolutely is not a security issue, this is all tied to the china—us trade negotiations, and i've every hope and every expectation that this will come to a rapid conclusion. not everyone agrees. huawei is the world's biggest manufacturer of the network equipment that promises to connect hospitals, power stations, driverless cars, and having a chinese company at the centre of that is a concern for some. security concerns first raised in the us and echoed by spy chiefs at mi6 have arguably made huawei the most important company in the world, thrust onto the front—line

of a new technological and economic cold war, a cold war that's coming out of the security shadows and into our everyday lives. is this another move in a game of chess between china and the us? huawei think so and hope that the tit—for—tat trade war will ultimately be resolved. but the red flag of national defence is a hard one to lower. once you start to raise concerns about security, it's much easier to sow doubt to see than it is to rebuild trust. these are very complex devices, complex software, and it's almost impossible to know what they're i'm kasia madera. this is bbc news. doing in every possible scenario. our top story. the us, along with australia huawei says it's been and new zealand, have already shut caught in the middle of a global trade dispute. huawei out of their the chinese tech firm looks future network plans. the uk hasn't made up its mind yet. to reasure its customers that there's no security issue with their devices. it's after being added to a list i share some of the concerns that american companies cannot trade of our allies, and at this point with, without a specific licence. iran increases uranium enrichment i think it is important to take all of that into account, while stepping up its war to remember that these are some of the closest intelligence relationships we have in the world, look at the evidence, of words with the us president. and then come to a final decision. the iranian foreign minister says donald trump should learn when the world's two biggest from iran's history and stop economies are at each other‘s throats, other governments and now with the "genocidal taunts". consumers can get caught and no surprise that the series in the middle. simon jack, bbc news. finale of game of thrones we will be hearing from a journalist is trending on bbc.com. it was watched by a record from the tech magazine wide later audience in the us. on. let's take a look at some of the day's other news. figures released by broadcaster hbo show that 19.3 million viewers tuned

12:06 am
happened or will happen, but if it does it will be met, obviously, with great force. we will have no choice. donald trump is speaking a short time ago. the war of words continues. also making news today, venezuelan president nicolas maduro has proposed early elections for the opposition held national assembly. they won a majority in the legislative body in 2015 , and it's headed by opposition leaderjuan guaido. the reports come as maduro's supporters gathered to commemorate the one—year anniversary of his re—election for a second term. a 35—year—old french national has been sentenced to death in indonesia for drug trafficking despite prosecutors asking for a 20—year prison sentence. felix dorfin was convicted of carrying large amounts of ecstasy, crystal meth, and marijuana in a suitcase to the island of lombok. his lawyer says he'll appeal. the singer rod stewart says he's donated £10,000 to a british model

12:08 am
white house's order will be implemented in practice. google pulling android really raise questions as to the degree to which this would impact huawei in terms of their network infrastructure technology versus the degree to which it will impact consumers and the products they use every day. what did you think will happen over the next three months? could this band be just totally lifted ? the next three months? could this band be just totally lifted? yeah, it is unclear. i mean, of curse, huawei is concerned about this, have said they feel it may be anti—competitive, that these initiatives may be illegal, and they are trying to push back with every means they have available ——of course. but it is unclear how the us government is going to reconcile the different interests that are pressing on this issue. but if,
12:09 am
indeed, this banner materialises after the three months. this could affect consumers. yes, certainly for huawei it could have a major impact. there is also a lot of concern about the trickle—down effect to other businesses that work with huawei, distributors, they just businesses that work with huawei, distributors, theyjust could be a lot of impact, you know, economic impact, and consumers good really be feeling the squeeze on how well their devices work in practice. and what are the alternatives for huawei going forward and huawei phone owners in terms of operating systems ? owners in terms of operating systems? yeah, so in terms of current phones, at least google has said that these changes will not affect existing phones and for the future huawei has talked about the idea that they have been developing an operating system, a mobile
12:10 am
operating system as an alternative in case something like this ever happened. so, potentially, they could roll that out. they could partner with other companies. 0nce that have android infrastructure like samsung. another company to refill some of those are slots that would be empty, in terms of features, because of the lack of ability to work with google directly. but it is really unclear how this will all play out. and the news from the commerce department makes it even more complicated and more unclear what will happen. that was lily hay newman speaking to rico earlier. lots more on the website. austria's far right freedom party has seen all its ministers resign, as the fallout grows from a corruption scandal involving its disgraced leader. freedom party leader heinz—christian strache was caught on hidden camera offering an alleged russian investor government contracts in return for party funds. a snap election has now been called by the chancellor sebastian kurtz who represents the freedom party's coalition partner.

after google suspends co—operation with chinese tech firm. iran announces it has quadrupled production of its low—enriched uranium — as president trump sends a threat to tehran on twitter. let's take a look at some front pages from around the world. we start with the straits times, which reports that police are preparing for protests in indonesia's capitaljakarta. the country's electoral commission earlier announced that the incumbent president, joko widodo, won 55.5% of the vote. 32,000 security personnel will be deployed to guard the demonstrations. the japan times front page is leading on positive economic growth figures, which show the country's economy grew by a surprising 2.1% in the first quarter of this year. however, the newspaper is warning that the introduction of a consumer tax later this year may offset
12:15 am
some of this growth. and finally, a disappointing story for game of thrones fans in the south china morning post, no spoilers of course. they didn't get to see the final episode of the series, because it didn't air on the chinese mainland. the distribution company for the show in china, tencent video blamed a media transfer issue. a ship stuck on a reef in the solomon islands for three months has finally been refloated but the oil it leaked could result in lasting environmental damage. the hong kong—flagged carrier, solomon trader, was stuck at kangava bay, on rennell island. the area is a unesco
12:16 am
world heritage site. it's the world's second largest raised coral atoll and is home to several species not found anywhere else on the planet. at least 75 tons of oil was spilt before the leak was plugged. locals say the oil has poisoned their water and fishing areas. the clean—up bill could be as much as $50 million dollars. the solomon islands government has said that the ship and finally does make that they can finally conduct a damage assessment now that the ship has left. we know so far that the slick extended about six kilometres. that there has been heavy oil washing up on the beaches. dozens of dead, poisoned fish have washed up and the locals are very frustrated so we and the locals are very frustrated so we know it had a devastating impact on the environment but now we
12:17 am
can finally find out just how impact on the environment but now we can finally find outjust how bad it has been. 0ne glimmer of good fortune and this is unesco saying, it hasn't actually reached the world heritage area just —— area but it has got very close to its boundary and of course outside of the world heritage area, it still quite a pristine ecosystem are there. how have the local people been affected? drinking water, things like that. we know initially, it took a month before people got to the ship so it was sitting there on top of the region — make on top of the reef, lead ching oil into the sea. ——0n top of the reef. locals rely on it for their food as well as livelihood. the dead fish means they have been relying on food rations. we have heard complaints from locals they have been breathing in the fumes of illnesses from that so it has had quite a devastating effect on the locals and again, the response took so long as there was a
12:18 am
lot of touring and throwing from the ship ‘s owners, the mining company and the solomons government over who is -- and the solomons government over who is —— whose responsibility to cleanup actually is. and that it took a while before anything actually happened. the locals felt frustrated and forgotten and they we re frustrated and forgotten and they were angry about how slow the response has been at it really wasn't until, you know, it got an international impetus from the australian government mostly that anything happened. now three months later the ship has finally gone. they are still dealing with the impacts, the locals. just briefly if you would. the ship was chartered by an indonesian mining company. what is being said about the solomon islands mining laws when it comes to this particular disaster? mining is very controversial in the wider solomon islands as well as this particular island. 0n the one hand, it provides an income for companies due. —— who do not have a lot but it
12:19 am
has scarred a pristine environment. you can see the red gouges throughout the island from where the mines have been. after the spill of the former prime minister in april, he said the country had not seen a single cent from mining in solomon islands, no tax had been paid. the benefit largely comes from the mining company building a road from the port to the mine site but locals can use “— the port to the mine site but locals can use —— that locals can use. 0r maybe they will build a school. locals are seeing fewer of the riches. climate change is having a serious impact on one of south korea's most beautiful islands. rising temperatures mean that the island ofjeju is losing many of its flora and fauna and some species are becoming endangered. as a result farmers there are having to adapt what they grow.
12:20 am
global warming is changing everything. we need to grow new pla nts everything. we need to grow new plants and use it as an opportunity. translation: its very good that can eat new plants injeju because of it wasn't possible before. there are more thicknesses in tropical weather so we can't was the plans without pesticides but since we are in the north, there are fewer bacteria and thatis north, there are fewer bacteria and 00:20:58,605 --> 2147483051:47:14,486 that is good because we don't need 2147483051:47:14,486 --> 00:00:00,078 pesticides.
