in washington, who called the list an �*unreasonable suppression of chinese companies'. tencent is a key player in china's technology sector, operating the wechat super—app. while catl produces roughly a third of ev batteries sold globally. there shares are trading lower today. apple says it will issue a software update to a new ai feature which has published several false news alerts. the service uses artificial intelligence to summarise stories from various sources. one recent notification, listing bbc sport as a source, incorrectly told users that the spanish tennis star, rafael nadal, was brazilian, and had come out as gay. the bbc has called on apple to urgently address the problem, saying that accuracy of its news content is essential in maintaining public trust. to another big story, us steel and nippon steel have filed two lawsuits, after president biden blocked the japanese firm from taking over the american steel giant last week.

biden said he halted the deal, worth nearly $15 billion on national security grounds. andrew astuno who has previously represented institutional clients in filings with the committee on foreign investment in the united states, took me through the key aspects of this case. the party is now after the president issued a blocking order, the party is now taken both the committee of foreign investment in the united states and the presidents and several other named officials in the us government, to federal court, asserting that that decision was in violation of legal principles and they raised a number of interesting arguments therein. talk us to us about these legal challenges now at play?

basically not make the party is now after the president issued a blocking order, the party is now taken both the committee of foreign investment in the united states and the presidents and several other named officials in the us government, to federal court, asserting that that decision was in violation of legal principles and they raised a number of interesting arguments therein. the first argument that they raised, it falls under the due process law which says that no property or liberty can be taken from someone without having due process, the right to be heard. and in this instance, the parties have alleged that given president biden's outward public decision or statement in april of earlier in 2024 when he said that he would block the deal, he would block nippon steel's acquisition of us steel, that was a predetermined outcome and the filing and process that occurred subsequent to that statement and medication

proposals they were also asserted by the party subsequent to that statement, that in essence, the decision was already made and the proof is in the putting so they made a number of arguments , is in the pudding so they made a number of arguments that the basis that due process were violated, there was incredible evidence that the presidents relied upon before making this decision and several arguments that i'm happy to summarise for you. meta in india has appealed against an order of the country's anti—trust watchdog which had imposed a penalty of nearly $25 million against the tech giant last month. the bbc�*s arunoday mukharji isjoining us from delhi, arunoday, can you explain what's happened? meta has essentially appealed the tribunal and if the matter is going to be heard on the 16th ofjanuary is going to be heard on the 16th of january now urgently. essentially this stems back to

a new privacy policy from 2021 when essentially the social platform came up with an update which shared user data with other meta apps. the commission order said that whatsapp cannot do that for a period of five years and also imposed that penalty. the argument that competition commission gave is that it undermined uses autonomy because they did not have a choice in actually choosing the update or not choosing the update or not choosing the update in order to access that platform. that is the argument the commission made. the matter is going to be heard on the 16th of january. meta has always maintained that this new update did not change or effect any user privacy as far as their messages were concerned that this is now going to be taken up on a bigger platform and just a reminder that why this is

important is because india continues to be one of the biggest markets for whatsapp with over 500 million active users followed by brazil and the us so clearly a very important hearing coming up. meta has elected the boss of ultimate fighting championship — dana white — to its board of directors. white is also a longtime friend of incoming us president donald trump, who previously had a tense relationship with meta's chief executive mark zuckerberg during his first term in office. in a facebook post, zuckerberg said that he admires dana white as an entrepreneur and how he built the ufc brand. the tech giant has also elected two other board members including a former microsoft executive and the boss of exor — an italian holding company. before we go, a recap of our top story: nvidia chief executive jensen huang unveiled a new family of gaming chips based on the company's latest ai technology.

the new chips, which will cost as much as $2,000. we will have more in the hour ahead. see you soon.

hi—ya, i'm betty with the catch—up. tonight — the vivienne, the golden globes and a chinese ice festival. tributes have been pouring in after it was announced that james lee williams, better known as drag queen the vivienne, has died aged 32. the vivienne, my queen. here. is there anything you'd like to say? it's been absolutely great, it's been tremendous, thank you. laughter. rupaul has said his heart is broken. police said there are no suspicious circumstances surrounding the vivienne's death. fellow drag race winner kyran thrax shared how the vivienne inspired them. i was 19, i think, and i haven't even started drag, at that point. just the theatre that she has in her, she has so much talent, she just embodies all these different characters and impersonations and that's something that always inspired me.

some other stories now — yellow warnings for snow, ice and flood remain in effect across scotland, wales in large parts of england. while these conditions are very serious, some are trying to keep a positive outlook, like this man who is wakeboarding down a road in leicestershire. next up, the golden globes, the film emilia perez was a big winner this year, taking home four awards. and 62—year—old actress demi moore gave an impassioned speech as she accepted her first ever award as an actor. but that question on everyone's lips was is that an engagement ring on zendaya's left hand? according to tmz, it was. time now for ten seconds of an ice festival. the annual harbin ice and snow festival is now in full flow in china. memebers of the public can explore these incredible sculptures and exhibitions. honestly, i don't think i would ever leave. you're all caught up now. have a good night.
