sanctions against iran and with industrial espionage the charges are linked to the arrest in canada of chief financial officer may who is also the daughter of the company's founder the move comes at a time of heightened trade tensions between washington and beijing due to a simmering trade conflict the announcement was a long time coming if you believe the rumor mill the u.s. has officially cuse chinese telecom giant huawei of a bevy of crimes a grand jury in new york has returned an indictment alleging thirteen additional crimes committed by walk away it's c.f.o. it's affiliate in iran and one of its subsidiaries here in the united states the criminal activity alleged in this indictment goes back at least ten years and goes all the way to the top of the company the u.s. justice department accuses while these top brass of using a hong kong based shell company to funnel telecommunications equipment to iran in

violation of international sanctions investigators also accuse wall ways engineers of stealing trade secrets from cell phone provider t. mobile including robotics plans using t. mobile cell phone testing. the u.s. is also seeking the extradition of hallway see a full main one for her role in the alleged sanction violations she was arrested in canada late last year in connection with the u.s. investigation. while we has long been suspected of having close ties to the chinese government. a cause for concern for some international observers. however both the company and the chinese government deny the accusations. just as a foreign ministry said with no evidence they're using their state power to discredit and attack designated companies this sort of behavior is unfair and immoral really . the chargers are likely to throw a fresh spanner in the works washington and beijing are set to reopen talks over

their simmering trade conflict later this week. stephen beardsley from d.w. business has been following this story all along good morning steve the u.s. indictment against wall way it has lots of parts to it break it down for us what are the main allegations or is the main allegations here are some of them that we've already seen one man one joe the chief financial officer was arrested and they include trying to circumvent sanctions u.s. sanctions against iran misleading banks as part of that and then some new ones and probably the most explosive one is that huawei executive who tried to cover up these efforts and that could play into the effort to extradite her from canada the us when these new charges come out as well as her bail and then of course there's a trade secrets as mentioned there that was part of a civil suit actually between t. mobile and huawei and now it's become part of the criminal charges so some stuff we've seen and some new stuff based on internal e-mails and memos from what the indictment say industrial espionage part i find really important or interesting at

least colorful the idea of certain way employees apparently going into labs of t.v. . and grabbing a robot arm trying to take it or supposedly there was an incentive actually from the company sort of a bonus program to see who could go the furthest with this interesting very serious charges when it gets down to it what's the reaction from china direction from china is that this is part of a long term effort by the u.s. to undermine chinese companies so they say that this is the term was unreasonable suppose. chinese companies is what the u.s. is practicing and obviously that would point to the correlation here between what the u.s. is trying to accomplish trade wise what it's trying to accomplish in terms of prohibiting while way from being active in the five g. market which is something you and i were just talking about a big part of always business in the future and what the department of justice is doing they see a lot of they see something that they're uneasy dollar very angry about when you talk about five g. just in case any of our viewers don't know what we're talking dealing with there it's the new telecommunications standard that gets really fast internet on

a mobile basis and it could have huge implications everybody wants it it being rolled out where it's going to be rolled out and by whom is there's a lot at stake there what does this indictment mean for huawei in business terms it's not good i mean this is further this puts further pressure on nations were considering who to go to for their rollout of five g. and how to go about those things because the u.s. has already had a pressure campaign on a lot of nations especially its allies and other nations maybe in the middle including germany who are still deciding where to deliver these contracts so it's not good and a lot of these nations though do want to see more evidence and maybe with this and some of the other allegations that have been thrown around put in the rest of executives in poland will start to see some of the evidence actually made public timing here very interesting briefly if you can what does this mean for the trade talks between china and us i mean you know the trade delegation from china was either in midair on its way or had just landed when this came out you can't imagine that that's a coincidence and look at mun one shows arrest this was also after the ninety day truce in the trade if you was announced there's obviously it seems that there's

sort of this pressure game being played whether it leads to the result the u.s. wants we'll see stephen thank you so much for stephen barely from did not be a business. now to some of the other stories making headlines around the world today the u.s. attorney general says special prosecutor robert miller has almost finished his report on russia's involvement in the twenty sixteen us elections he's investigating possible collusion between the trump election campaign and the kremlin has already indicated indicted rather senior campaign officials and trump associates. the u.s. has imposed sanctions on venice whalers state oil firms curbing the country's crude exports it's the administration's latest move on it in its effort to oust venezuela's president nicolas maduro the embattled leader called the sanctions illegal accusing the u.s. of wanting to steal but as well as riches and its territory. police in cameroon

have arrested the country's opposition leader maurice conto has been leading anti-government protests since losing what he says was a project in selection in october to claims to have won the vote his arrest comes after police put down demonstrations against longtime president paul b. over the weekend. pakistan's supreme court is reviewing its acquittal of b.b. the christian woman was charged with blasphemy in the islamic republic and spent eight years on death row but in october she was found not guilty a ruling that sparked outrage among religious hardliners the supreme court usually dismisses reviews of its verdicts but given the nature of bibi's case today's outcome is tar from certain. she's one of the most talked about women in pakistan. pictured here shortly after her conviction in twenty ten the christian mother of five was sentenced to death for leisure marks but islam generale with fellow farm

workers that refused to share their glass of water with a non muslim now free she lives in hiding no longer on death row but still in constant fear for her life. and this is why hard line islamists calling for had to be hanged. her acquittal in october last year triggered days of nationwide demonstrations. who are who in every corner of the country the sons of islam have voiced opposition to the supreme court verdict by going on to the streets. what kind of a verdict is this from the supreme court of an islamic republic which is troubling muslims but satisfying infidels. the. demonstrations were any cooled off when the government agreed to bobby v. from leaving the country pending today's verdict but this is a case already linked to the killings of at least two people. the governor of

punjab province summoned his ia seen here on the right who's assassinated by his bodyguard in twenty eleven i'm speaking in defense. later the same year the federal minister for minorities shahbaz bhatti was killed off to calling for her relief. today is that it's likely to do little to appease those who threaten with another thing less than having a death sentence reinstated. following the story from asia desk and he joins us now shut me up bibi has already been acquitted what are the chances that the court will now allow that acquittal to be challenged on appeal well i think it is highly likely that bugs on stop this myth that beat against all the b.b.c. quit and. the appeal by hardline islamism was accepted by the court to make sure

that all legal requirements often and i think. mr non-fans the government also wanted to buy some time to make some political or just and so i believe that pakistan's top court the supreme court will dismiss the appeal. bibi's acquittal last october sparked by lindt protests what's the mood in anticipation of today's hearing. well the islamist and he can look back balti this lama spotty as the judge is known to give board the goal judicial relief to be. hundreds of islamist supporters stoop to the streets to protest b.b.c. acquitted in october last year but at the moment most of the and that is in the gulf and. that is why i do not think they will be able to create many problems at all the government is different. what does this case tell us about the way

pakistan interprets the country's blasphemy laws. b.b.c. tragic ordeal reminds us that the issue of blasphemy to mean this extremely extremely sensitive in pakistan. rights groups criticize the blasphemy laws that the cia used to mistreat religious minorities in the country. but i do not think that any government in pakistan can repeal or amend the blasphemy laws as. violent protests from islamists and i also think that the common people would not accept that so it is a sensitive issue. as i said earlier it is very likely that the supreme court will dismiss the review petition that will pave the way for b.b.'s a departure from focused on she could be out of the country. like eat today.

thank you very much for your analysis. thanks very much for having me on the show. well to london where later today the u.k. parliament is set to vote once again on the government's bragg's that plan in a vote just two weeks ago lawmakers rejected the deal today they're supposed to decide what changes they want the prime minister to seek to win parliamentary support for the date for britain's exit from the e.u. is just two months away and signs that the country's division over the issue will and are just not there and you can see those divisions everywhere including a london restaurant run by immigrants where. it's lunch time for even him dos in his restaurant westminster kitchen he arrived in london from the kurdish region of turkey twenty five years ago the recent breaks a debate in parliament made him decide to do something. but i did end up writing on my till system

a message for the receipts to say bricks it is but immigration makes britain great and they've also cooked and served food today. not even him small act of protest in his restaurant didn't come without consequences overnight nasty messages started appearing on social media. traitors within gallows in which basically it's given your message to gargle dealing with this so telling you what they might do to you there's posted threatening to burn the place down or to demonstrate in front of the restaurant most of her hands employees are from all over the world some arrived as refugees others to work like chef taric personally i'm not really feeling very good at the moment just you know things get in charge we can hear on the news all the time talking about the people have been called in aussie it and saying positive things about her and according to tarik boss abraham there is one clear reason for this change. since the brits it was the divisions in

our country have grown up so there's more division than before the brics that will took place so the fruits were receiving. unacceptable unpleasant and it's becoming . that the government created has been a bit hostile and recent surveys show that around two thirds of the british think breaks it has made people angrier and this same amount believe their country isn't on a good path as the date of britain's exit from the e.u. ever closer or. well it could be tough being an immigrant getting used to a new country learning a new language and of course finding a job but here in berlin finding employment is being made a little bit easier by the fourth annual jobs fair for immigrants thousands of them attended the event along with representatives of hundreds of companies seeking recruits just went along to see how it worked out. he's originally from syria but yes dan has been living in germany for

a year now he's still going to school but he's already looking towards the future he's trying to make contact with prospective future employers he's come to a job fair for refugees and there are plenty of contacts here around two hundred companies and institutions are looking for candidates and offering information on career opportunities yes then already knows what he wants to become a pharmacist as. in my home country there are people who can't afford medication. and this would be good i want to help them by becoming a pharmacist and the take up that there are representatives from the health industry at the job fair like this contracting firm from the berlin hospital germany is desperately looking for caregivers that's why young migrants who have a good chance of gaining residency are in demand here. except my sort of indians and i think it's a win win situation meaning we have the chance to find new and motivated

apprentices at the same time these people have an opportunity to gain a foothold in the german job market condition of its markets to the most job opportunities for refugees in germany change over time and depend on how long they remain in the country one of the biggest hurdles for recent arrivals is not being able to speak the language. the language is difficult so was finding work oh. it's often looking for work is difficult. would you have to know german well. yes dunn is working hard on his german some day he wants to study but perhaps before that do an apprenticeship going to the job fair is important to him and then come here in four months and here you can get all kinds of information before you have a job. and the people here are really nice. it's an experience that both helps and motivates visitors on the long road to finding

a job. staying in berlin german chancellor angela merkel has stressed the need for greater international cooperation in standing up to the rise of populism she made the remarks while being awarded the fulbright prize for international understanding joints a prestigious list of recipients including nelson mandela bill clinton doctors without borders first. it was the first time the food crisis a.c.s. and awarded its prize for international understanding outside the u.s. and they chose the german capital and the german chancellor. they selected angle a macro for what the association called had remarkable compassionate leadership during the ceremony she was praised for her controversial decision during the twenty fifteen refugee crisis to keep forward as open angela merkel set the standard for how we in the rich world can and should treat almost desperate
