the czech republic's top security cyber security official said tuesday that chinese telecom giant huawei will be left out of more state contracts in fact more european nations are debating what to do with the firm as they build out their mobile networks critics of huawei chief among them the us one of the companies the trojan horse for the chinese government and the bling espionage war plan disruptions telecom carriers say it's a necessary supplier germany hasn't yet moved to prohibit huawei but chancellor angela merkel has suggested the company needs to reassure its customers speaking before an audience of university students in japan german chancellor angela merkel had this to say about the security risks posed by chua way the most money that's something that needs to be discussed with china that the company doesn't simply hand over data to the government but that german consumers can be sure the chinese doesn't get access to data on all chinese products that are sold in germany. that

he needs to to cry from con her comments will be scrutinized japan's government has already prepared to be used if wildly network gear the us tonight says europe is the top priority in its effort to ban while i use among like nations. britain and canada are considering bans astray and new zealand have already moved ahead with them germany traditionally a close u.s. ally would be expected to follow suit but it's not so simple german carriers have said they contra place far away without raising network costs or delaying building . angering china is a risk as german firms seek more access to chinese markets and u.s. tech firms have themselves been tied to american surveillance programs experts say germany must first consider its own needs and that there are safeguards against using any one particular company that could mean. a central role in any network issues.

in this confrontation plenty to consider germany try to navigate the latest in a growing list of u.s. china disputes. and over a wall street where google parent company alphabet posted strong profits in the fourth quarter but saw shares slip after its monday earnings report before they improved again on tuesday the firm's eight point nine billion dollars in profit beat analyst expectations revenue was up twenty two percent from the same period a year ago but the glowing earnings report was overshadowed by concerns that the company is spending too much too fast in research and development among other areas shares an alphabet slid more than three percent following the announcement. and with that let's go now to our financial correspondent in new york quarter alphabet taking a hit there after the earnings report despite what appear to be strong revenues what happened. well what happened is said some costs went up and some prices

went down and that's not necessarily a good combination looking for the next couple of months over google for example has to spend more to make companies like apple for example having their google search engine being one of the main ones on their devices and the other side. online ads are not selling at the same prices as before so some of those prices went down that might possibly be due to more competition from companies like amazon for example and that's why we saw a pretty mixed reaction here on wall street for the year by the way the stock of every alphabet this doing pretty well after the last year has been a flat one for the stock price of alphabets and it looks like today was another strong day on wall street with stocks going up how long can the good results last.

and that's really interesting to see because the news flow again was rather thin we saw the same on monday but still on both days blue chips went up by a good one hundred seventy points so we are on our way to have the seventh consecutive week of gains here on wall street and even if for example if we look at the earnings reports they are not all picture perfect but wall street seems to ignore all the negatives take apple for example last week they came out with mediocre earnings report but still the stock since the earnings report is up by more than twelve percent and apple by now again became the most valuable company on the planet goldman sachs for example the analysts they believe that there is not is not so many more. price increases to be expected for the reminder of the year if

you look at the overall market especially if you look at earnings growth that is probably going to. decrease or slow down sharply and with this environment it is hard to imagine that we really going it was this feeds in the next couple of months so there's maybe starting to thin there quarter for us in new york thank you yes. how does europe strongest economy stay strong in the face of billions of chinese investment as well as the u.s. is dominant position in digital tech germany's economy minister peter altmire unveiled the first draft of a new plan. arm a german companies like siemens and thyssen krupp against hostile takeovers that's the goal of the german government's new investment strategy which elevates industrial success to the national interest after recent years or china by one company after another germany's economic affairs minister says berlin can't afford to sell its high tech peyton's to foreign powers. but there's fear

and i think that when certain countries and specific companies use very aggressive tactics to expand their market share then we have the right responsibility to respond as we have done all of this originally. so argue and hugh carnegy minister sees a greater role for the state and greater relief for businesses in areas like energy costs or taxes merges should be made easier but critics warn of too much government involvement in a response got equivalent to guaranteeing the existence of individual businesses because there are some outstanding firms that rake in profits but there are others that are frankly pretty wobbly the guys from barclays and. mile also said german companies need to lead the pack when it comes to innovation in new technologies like artificial intelligence or driving systems for cars of the future and is planning to help kick start that development with billions in new investment which should also help protect german jobs. earlier we asked clemens first from the eye

of institute one of europe's leading business think tanks whether he thinks germany's economic situation was so dire that required a national strategy like the one presented today here's what he said it's not bad at all but this is about the future the question is whole sustainable is the position of german industry and here they're read. as far. as the issue of the car industry the diesel technology may be phased out in the future so i think it is true that germany needs to think about the future the question is though what the right strategy is. the european union is likely to block a merger between the german industrial giant siemens and france's all star the two companies were set to merge their railway businesses from their perspective the tie up would have enabled them to take on foreign rivals the european commission expressed concerns for the competition across europe despite siemens and also offering to let go of four percent of their assets to push the merger through.
