days. it originally blacklisted the company in may, citing security concerns. it then granted a temporary permit. that was due to expire on monday. well, everybody's had plenty of notice, there's been discussions with the president and the president has made clear in his announcements yesterday that he is very concerned about more dealings with huawei. mr ross also said another 46 huawei affiliates would be added to the us entity list. huawei said it was opposed to the decision and felt it was politically motivated. earlier i asked brock silvers from a private investment firm why the extension was granted. the extension is a bit difficult to explain, i think.

the extension is a bit difficult to explain, ithink. look, the us the extension is a bit difficult to explain, i think. look, the us is trying to make it easierfor compliance for us companies, but thatis compliance for us companies, but that is sort of flying in the face of calling huawei a national security issue. if it really does represent a national security risk, should we be easing out of that? i don't know. it's very complicated and although i can understand the trump administration's position, the positioning seems a bit inconstant. use a inconsistent, butjust how badly do technology companies in the us need huawei and its technology? how difficult is it to wind them off it? well for some companies it's quite easy. there are smaller networks around the us that do probably hope for an extension, but if huawei is a national security risk, those companies should be encouraged. it's really a confused message, i think,

encouraged. it's really a confused message, ithink, and it's hard encouraged. it's really a confused message, i think, and it's hard to see where this is connected with last week's stock market worries as well. twitter and facebook have taken well. twitter and facebook have ta ke n ste ps well. twitter and facebook have ta ken steps to well. twitter and facebook have taken steps to block what they describe as a state backed chinese misinformation campaign to sow political discord in hong kong. well, earlier the bbc‘s dave lee gave us the details from san francisco. this is a big effort from both of the companies to work together to find this activity that was happening on their network. twitter were able to buy 936 accou nts twitter were able to buy 936 accounts that had been creating posts, designed to undermine the political message of those protests in hong kong and facebook found a much smaller number, only five accou nts much smaller number, only five accounts created and several groups. they found this level activity on the networks, reminiscent of what we saw from russian efforts directed at people here in the us. it's something that these companies are

getting familiar with. we have's been pretty open about the process here, they said a big list of all those accounts and a big list of all the tweets they've removed and therein notes two minds about it. they say these accounts were originated in mainland china —— they are not in two minds about it. these accou nts are not in two minds about it. these accounts originated in mainland china and were intended to sow disinformation in hong kong and the rest of the world as well. to what extent rest of the world as well. to what exte nt d o rest of the world as well. to what extent do you think it was surprising they uncovered this quite concerted effort by the chinese mainland? yes, well, there are a couple of points of view on this. 0ver couple of points of view on this. over the weekend, twitter was heavily criticised for accepting money from chinese state broadcasters to advertise tweets on the system to promote tweets from them on their network. in particular, there are a couple of tweets that were very critical of the protesters in hong kong that twitter promoted after taking money

from those broadcasters backed by china. now twitter has said they are going to stop doing that, but i think all of this action, both the discovery of those accounts are now the blocking of state—controlled ads is in response to the intense criticism it has had and continues to have on the network. that is the bbc‘s technology reports are dave lee. 0ne bbc‘s technology reports are dave lee. one of america's most powerful business groups has abandoned the shareholder first business groups has abandoned the shareholderfirst idea business groups has abandoned the shareholder first idea that has driven capitalism for decades. the pursuit of shareholder interests is no longer the central purpose of organisations according to the group. hong kong's richest family is buying uk pub giant and brewer green king for 3.3 billion us dollars. it adds to the vast stable of businesses that are part of the sprawling global empire cold by
