a long time coming if you believe the rumor mill the u.s. has officially accused chinese telecom giant while weight 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. its 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 what ways engineers are 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 hoisting a full man long for her role in the alleged sanction violations she was arrested in canada late last year in connection with the u.s.

investigation. huawei 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. will just as the 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. and. on this story he joins us now so i mean this u.s. indictment against weiwei it really has multiple parts aaron just break it down for us one of the main allegations well i mean the u.s. just department has leveled twenty three specific charges against huawei and i'm

not going to go into all of them specifically but basically the crux of the matter is they accuse wall way of using a shell company that is supposedly sold in two thousand and seven to smuggle illicit telecommunications technology to iran basically who always said they sold the company two thousand and seven they don't have a controlling interest so they can do what they want to u.s. justice department says they actually kept control of that company and were directing it specifically which would then be in violations of the iranian sanctions so that's on the one hand on the other hand they've accused them of industrial espionage specifically to an attempt to misappropriate technology from t. mobile and use it in the production of their or no cell phone technology in fact supposedly why we even put up. with in its own companies and people would get additional bonuses if they could steal current technology from t. mobile for very serious charges and china's reaction well of course unsurprisingly china has denied it and huawei is also denied the accusations as well as we heard there in the report at least one member of the chinese government said this was an illegal and immoral attempt to actually influence and put the matter disadvantage

and also recently the. way said that he doesn't have any connections to the chinese government and wouldn't be. passing on technology information them which has been a long standing accusation and what does it mean for huawei in business terms well you're really going to have to put this in context of what's going on globally yes specifically this is a very very tricky matter but always under a lot of pressure from the u.s. government now who always trying to be the leader in five g. technology which is basically the one has established a new backbone of internet technology which will kind define how we do business and communicate moving forward well the u.s. government says huawei has a lot of connections to the chinese intelligence services and they're not comfortable with the fact that allowing huawei into this internet backbone would potentially give china a great military a technological and business advantage moving forward that's why we're seeing the american government a lot of pressure on international partners kind of nip this in the bud at an interesting time we have to mention because they're about to sit down for trade talks the u.s. and china yes they are and it's really kind of an open question in terms of how

they actually hangs together now we know the initial a rest of the chinese executive in canada came at a time when trump wasn't actually aware of it he supposed to have reacted quite angrily when he found out that in the midst of these trade talks the justice department was actively going they can swallow way now we've also seen a hallway and honestly why i mean china actually react by arresting several canadian citizens kind of in a tit for tat exchange so it really comes at a distance that disadvantaged does advantageous time for these talks between beijing and china. business thank you thank you let's get a quick check of some other stories making news around the world the u.s. has imposed sanctions on venezuela's state oil firm curbing the country's screwed exports it's the trump administration's latest move in its effort to oust venezuela's president nicolas maduro the embattled leader called the sanctions illegal accusing the u.s. of wanting to feel better. and its territory. police in

cameroon have a rest of the country's opposition leader or it's come to has been levy anti-government protest since losing what he said was a fraudulent election in october he claims to have won the vote as arrest comes after police put down demonstrations against a longtime president. over the weekend. a helicopter being used to fight a fire in southern australia has crashed into a river it's three person crew managed to escape from the wreckage swimming to safety they were battling one of the blazes burning in the country's south east the fires have been stoked by weeks of hot dry weather that has set new records. to london now where later today the u.k. parliament is set to vote once again on the government's breaks 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 but the date for britain's exit from the e.u. is just chew months away and signs of the country's division over the issue are

everywhere including a london restaurant run by immigrants. because it's lunch time for those in his restaurant westminster kitchen he arrived in london from the kurdish region of turkey twenty five years ago the recent great city pates in parliament made him decide to do something. or did in the pricing system. to say bricks it is but immigration makes britain great. for today. not even him small act of protest in his restaurant didn't come without consequences overnight nasty messages started appearing on social media. truth is written. in which basically it's given your message to gargle dylan movie it is. telling you what they might do to you there's posted threatening to burn the place down or to demonstrate in front of the rest. surat most of her hands

employees are from all over the world some arrived as refugees others to work might shift 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 calling austere and saying positive things about us and according to tarik boss abraham there is one clear reason for this change. since the brics 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 threats we are receiving in unacceptable unpleasant and it's becoming to the environment that the government would see created has been a bit hostile to recent surveys show that around two thirds of the british think breaks it has made people angrier and the same amount believe the country isn't on a good path as the date of britain's exit from the e.u. draws ever closer. and joining us now from london is our correspondent matt so here

we have an important day here for braggs it for the british parliament walk us through what's at stake. well the prime minister to resign may you fight it in reports he's trying to basically better the situation for the country however this is really not very easy here in westminster in the house of commons she is backing a move by m.p.'s from their own party to renegotiate the withdrawal agreement which is the basic agreement that she has negotiated before the european union but many in her own party have said they called back it they are seeking some further changes and prime minister may has made clear that she will go behind it it's the talk of alternative arrangements regarding the future of northern ireland which is the so-called backstop an insurance policy of what happened with northern ireland if there is no node free trade agreement so it's very very complicated many people

in the country don't read. i understand what's going on but nevertheless politicians here in the house of commons are trying to solve and it looks like they're going to centuries or may back to brussels to open up the withdrawal agreement that she has already negotiated with the european union so just break down what that could mean because in the meantime the clock is ticking the u.k. scheduled to leave the e.u. in just two months and there's no deal in place to manage that transition so these votes in parliament today what do they do to change that. well at the moment they doing to anything without any agreement by proselyte and what we have had from brussels as already a reaction to to what's being negotiated behind closed doors here in the house of commons is that they are not very keen on opening up this deal it's took them a long time to to to actually get that with the u.k. and the e.u. and they're not very keen so whatever they decide here needs to go then back to

brussels and needs to be agreed and yes the default option if there is no agreement if there is no deal is really in in two months there is the u.k. crashing out of the european union and it's of really of a lot of concern too to too many here in the u.k. and a lot of politicians really want to avoid it because it would mean enormous economic consequences for the u.k. but also for the european union and many are hoping here in london that well if it's just before the the end of march or maybe just you know if you weeks before the deadline that then the e.u. might be a little bit more willing to compromise because there be adverse consequences of course also for european businesses not just for the u.k. and today's vote what does it mean for theresa may. forty reason may well she hasn't looked good in this because she has been ridiculed by europe but also

here in the country party has been fighting over her they have tried to get rid of her have not been successful she has shown a lot of resilience and even. she is not a day in immediate risk because now she has thrown the ball into the parliament's court now it's up to parliament to actually come to some sort of conclusion come to some plan of action then she will have to go to brussels and then it's going to be back in parliament it's a hugely complicated process but today is not high noon for tourism a i don't think . it's fair to mass in london thank you. to brazil now where the death toll after last week's a dam collapse has risen to sixty five but that number is expected to rise further as authorities estimate hundreds more people are still missing under the debris as rescuers continue their search anger is mounting for the mining company responsible for the tale. the search

for a sign of life in devastated. here rescuers located a bus that was filled with passengers when the flood of mud and mining waste hit no one could be saved but they have to try. in this type of event any loss of life that we have is enormous so it doesn't matter if they are one to dozens or hundreds of victims we are doing our best it's possible to provide some relief to the families and we are always working with the hope of finding someone alive. for the families of the missing the past days have been a nightmare. really. my son my brother in law the husband of my niece. my friends they were all there and we have no news if any of them. by the stories give interviews and talk of numbers but

nothing else really. and it's not just the families who are demanding answers in sao paolo environmentalist staged protests outside the headquarters of the mine's owner the company is already facing legal action over another similar collapse in twenty fifteen. we're seeing more and more such disasters every time the environmental impact is worse and so is the economic impact because post disaster for the municipality becomes poor it destroys agriculture it destroys fishing it affects commerce and resource this witness list and. it's not clear yet what caused the damming brandy new to burst it had passed safety inspections just last year meanwhile hopes to find any most of by this bird under the mud are fading . now in the semifinals of football's asian cup japan came away
