t—mobile and sprint was given the green light by a usjudge. you remember, the japanese conglomerate owns sprint was that the deal is worth billions of us dollars and the firms claim this will help reshape the us wireless industry and build up the us wireless industry and build up america's 5g networks. critics say it is only going to lead to higher prices. michelle fleury explains. when you have fewer players in the market, especially in the telecoms industry, there is a concern that basically pricing becomes the very first thing to suffer. so becomes the very first thing to suffer. so consumers becomes the very first thing to suffer. so consumers ultimately end up suffer. so consumers ultimately end up paying more for their phones. but here is the thing. this deal has been years in the making. as you point out, it was very contentious. dozens of us states mounted a challenge on those lines that less competition would basically mean that people ended up paying more. the decision was such a surprise the approval, the share price of sprint is up 77%. it gives you a sense that

investors were really caught off guard by the fact it had been approved. i think what was interesting was that we had from an academic that said actually the merger of sprint and t—mobile, while it has been criticised for this idea that it could reduce competition, may have the opposite effect and enhance competition because sprint controls 13% of the market share. t—mobile,16%. look at controls 13% of the market share. t—mobile, 16%. look at the next two competitors. at&t has 40% of the market share, verizon 30%. the idea that you would actually create by getting these two companies together, something with a market share that puts them on part with verizon and at&t, when the telecoms industry has a lot of investments are made with 5g, the next big technology these companies are focusing on into the future. michelle fleury on the merger. let's day in the us. us officials say

huawei, which has been banned there, can covertly access mobile phone networks around the world through backdoors. monica miller has more on this. well, the us has not been shy in casting aspersions about the relationship between huawei and ageing officials, saying it is too cosy for their comfort. —— beijing. they have also said they want their allies to also be suspicious of theirs. the us said not too long ago they have banned us companies from using huawei technology in the given indications sector. but it is really tricky to do that right now. huawei is ahead of the game when it comes to sg is ahead of the game when it comes to 5g technology. so when they ask ukfor example, to 5g technology. so when they ask uk for example, not to use it, they decided, look, we can't avoid having huawei being part of this technology. what they decided to do — borisjohnson‘s technology. what they decided to do — boris johnson's administration said we wouldn't use core components of it but we do need to use this to build our 5g system. now, here is

the thing, though. the us has never proven why they have cast these aspersions. now us intelligence officials say they do have proof that they have technology that for more than a decade now has been gathering data from mobile plans all over the globe. monica miller reporting. now, to the coronavirus. the abacus was many businesses are needed to find alternatives to employees working in the office. some companies are asking their staff to work from home as a way to help prevent the spread of the virus. but what if you work in educational consulting? i asked geoffrey blumberg, an investment adviser in hong kong and teaches part—time at the university how he has been coping since the lunar year holidays. honestly, it has been a struggle. i usually work from home 1-2 struggle. i usually work from home 1—2 days a week, but now the biggest difference is also children are at home. so, it has been coping. your

job basically is face—to—face interaction. you are an investment adviser. you are a professor. you are talking to your clients and your students, compared to talking to them on and online chat? there definitely is a difference. last night we had ourfirst definitely is a difference. last night we had our first e—learning session through video chart with the whole student group —— video chat. someone was doing something else and forgot to mute the mic. it has challenges, yes. you can read more about that on our website on the business section of bbc news .com. samsung has revealed a new model with a 100 time zoom camera. it's

zoom. now, in the realms of using 100x, the camera uses ai zoom. now, in the realms of using 100x, the camera uses al to clean the image as well. 0k, it has definitely zoomed in but the images shaky. i think it really struggles to do this holding onto the phone. the question is, how much uses that photo? you certainly wouldn't want something like that on your mantelpiece. —— how much use is that? now here, if you can't decide whether you want a photo or a video ofa whether you want a photo or a video of a special moment, this allows you to do both at the same time and has some options to choose from at the end. so, let's give that a go. sorry, you are going to have to keep bouncing. now i'll have up to four videos and ten photos to take a look at. if i go into the gallery i can see them. here we have a normal steel. there is a spreadout version of what they doing. —— normal deal,

after surviving a rare form of brain cancer, i wanted to study business they gave me purpose in life. —— start a business. a 2a years old i was diagnosed with a rare malignant brain cancer that resulted in me having four brain operations in the space of two months. following that i had to evolve from zero both mentally and physically. post recovery, people came to me, 8—10 people saying how did you eat, how did you exercise, what was your mental and physical state? i realised there was this huge gulf of information available to people. i sat upa information available to people. i sat up a platform where people could access medical professionals and provide them with information that helps them recover as people do, especially with mental health

disorders. before my illness i didn't really have an objective or goal of what i wanted to achieve and it was quite simple. now i'm able to firmly identify the what i'm trying to achieve —— firmly identify what i'm trying to achieve. ceo secrets with bradley woodhouse. the biggest gain are so far is softbank which owns sprint. thank you for investing your time with us. iam rico you for investing your time with us. i am rico hizon, bye for now. you're watching bbc news. of commerce to become britain's first internet watchdog. —— 0fcom was that they will be given responsibility to

hold online platforms account for any harmful content. our media reporter has more. if you make a habit of asking young people across the country about their digital lives, you find a generation both addicted to smartphones and alert to the dangers. we just go past the terms and conditions, just press agree, but really, no—one actually takes time to actually read it. those dangers, which evolve every week and test parents‘ tech—savviness, have led to long—awaited proposals on online harms. its centrepieces are a statutory duty of care for companies that allow user—generated content and the appointment of 0fcom as the uk's first internet regulator. but there's still no detail on what the penalties will be for companies breaking the law. why would a californian tech giant worry about a slap on the wrist from a british regulator? well, because i think there are a lot of users in britain. they've got a big footprint here. there are many platforms who ideally would not have wanted regulation, but i think that's changing. i think they understand now that, actually, regulation is coming. we know that nine million girls in europe have experienced cyberbullying before the age of 15.

for a lot of people, this is long overdue. seyi akiwowo hosts workshops, like this one to local councillors, to help people with what she calls digital self—care. when i first suffered abuse, the response from tech companies was below par, and that's why i'm really excited about about this online harms white paper and this bill, because it's actually in our place and the duty of care on these tech companies. and it's now saying, actually, these multibillion—pound tech companies have a duty to all its users to enforce this idea of rights and responsibilities, and make sure everyone's safe. and one woman, whom we've called kay, described how her 13—year—old daughter was groomed by a 24—year—old man on snapchat and facebook. he then raped her. i don't think there was anything more that we could have done. and believe me, i've quizzed myself over and over and over. is there something i missed? i don't think there was. snapchat is one of the platforms he was using to message her. he admitted to the police the reason it was snapchat was because there are no chat logs. no evidence. the internet has morphed

from the utopian vision of its founders into humanity's digital echo chamber, full of dark corners. reducing online harm is a responsibility shared between citizens, companies, and governments. and these proposals could make britain a template for others to follow. the aim here is to give britain the toughest internet laws in the world, while protecting free speech and enterprise. yet, without clarity on the punishments for offenders, it's impossible to know if that's what we'll soon get. amol rajan, bbc news. that is it from me. hello, i'm gavin ramjaun, and this is sport today, live from the bbc sport centre. coming up on this programme: one of the shocks of the asian champions league so far — former winners al—ain are thrashed at home by iran's sepahan.
