this is the deputy news live from berlin the u.s. president declares a national emergency over foreign id threats president trump signs an executive order which bans business with foreign telecoms believed to pose a national security risk the director does not name any specific company but is believed to be targeting the chinese tech giant wall way also on the show. a massive push is underway to boost turnout in the upcoming european parliamentary elections but there's concerns e.u. efforts to counter or and does information campaigns may be too little too late.

and here in germany are radical far right parties campaigning for the european elections which has marches evoking the thoughts of your critics warned in action by local authorities allowed the group to gain visibility. i brian thomas thanks so much for joining us president trump has signed an executive order declaring a national emergency giving his administration extensive powers to ban the activities of foreign telecoms white house says the measures not directed at any specific country or company but the move is widely seen as targeting the chinese telecom giant while way. the u.s. government has long viewed the chinese company as an espionage threat and has

sought to keep while way from playing a major role on the u.s. telecommunications infrastructure market. this new move is likely to prevent it from supplying the equipment being used to set up cutting edge 5 g. networks donald trump's decision has come at a key moment in negotiations with the chinese government about future trade relations between the countries where having a little squabble with china because they've been treated very unfairly for many many decades or actually a long time and yet have been handled a long time ago and it was then why handle it now i think it's going to be i think it's going to turn out to be well we're in a very strong position we are the piggy bank that everybody likes to take advantage of or take from and we can't let that happen any more the executive order makes it easier for the u.s. government to directly regulate foreign telecoms which could theoretically exploit

back doors and systems to pose a threat to communications and national security in addition the u.s. is place to walk away and 70 associated companies on a blacklist firms on it have to be granted licenses from the u.s. commerce department to use components made by u.s. firms in their technology the restrictions will come into force in the next few days. and his own from business desk is here to talk more about this good morning ben does this mean that all u.s. communication technology will now be coming from the message american providers this is trump strategy america 1st and it's working to a certain degree. while the way though is very important to the regional market to local operate is the big ones have already cut ties with way in line with what mr trump wants. but it could be a setback for the 5 g. network in total

a lot of these local operate is as i said use switches and gear from away from said t e as well and far away at the end of the day is the leader in this technology it can make it faster it's more innovative it can do it cheaper but it also works a little sloppy it than the rest it's not as precise as say a swiss engineering firm and this is the worry here not that it may have links to the state but that it could leave gaps in it's hard with the hackers to infiltrate ok so this will also hurt some american companies that rely on wall wave particularly ok now how much of a setback is this for awhile way and it's push to become a major player in the global telecoms market ok this is interesting because in the u.s. that it's u.s. business is only a fraction of its global business as i said it's the leader it's a huge company also with hands that it's not so much in america but elsewhere in the world this will be a setback for a while way in that it relies on mary many american suppliers for pots within its

hardware that's the tricky part where working in a globalized world and all these companies a so into link and have been for years have been for years now and that's something that's difficult to on ravel look at the timing of this move as well if it comes at a critical juncture in the trade talks with beijing right now a very important i mean we saw this already with trump and said t.v. which i mentioned the other manufacture which is sort of big in in china and in the world trump stepped back when he banned said he insulted the company was about to flop basically because of so much. and that was overturned and here we come again with this band not directed at any certain company but obviously at wild way and said he according to analysts ok no no the term for an ever search is very interesting as well we don't know who that is exactly. potentially could be european country companies in the future as well. it's difficult is difficult to

say who this can be applied to exactly exactly and it's a really tricky situation and hard to gauge exactly what the trumps what term strategy is here and how this is going to pan out because there are so many bugging chips that he does have and that he is effectively using i mean his strategy isn't bad if you talk to many adolescents and he's actually getting some way on on china in the way china does business because the way china does business is unfair with the rest of the well we're talking about state capitalism versus regular capitalism and ben thanks very much for coming in on this let's preview now some of the other stories making news at this hour the saudi led coalition in yemen has launched airstrikes on the rebel held capital sana'a saudi arabia has confirmed the strikes which reportedly targeted 9 military locations in and around the city this comes 2 days after insurgents claimed responsibility for drone attacks on 2 saudi oil

pumping stations. so dan's military council has announced it has suspended talks with protestors on civilian rule that after clashes in the capital khartoum military council says the suspension would last $72.00 hours and said a number of conditions or negotiations be resumed including the dismantling of barricades arrested by protesters. and protesters a battle with police in rio de janeiro after a day of demonstrations there against government budget cuts the administration far right present airballs n r o has announced cuts of one and a half 1000000000 euros to the country's public education system those cuts mainly affect universities. it's all here in europe a massive vote gets underway next week with 28 countries and 400000000 voters people across the european union will be deciding who will represent them for the next 5 years of the european parliament now here's how it works the number of seats

each country gets is roughly proportional to its population germany of course with the greatest population 82000000 people roughly gets 96 seats while the smallest country in the e.u. guess which country that is it's malta it has 6 so-called m e p's to represent its population of less than half a 1000000 now once elected the members of parliament join trans national groups with similar views at the moment there are 7 such groups representing the center right socialist greens euro skeptics and others the m e p s vote on new laws in importantly the improve the e.u. budget now they also help choose the powerful president of the european commission the current commission president is this man jog claude younger now the favorites to replace him right now are the german conservative m.e.p. advaita and the dutch politician fons timmermans now he's comes from the party of european socialists. ahead of the vote the you has made

a major push to boost turnout already stunned by the brics a referendum bloc also faces growing euro skepticism and there are concerns over online foreign this information campaigns trying to confuse voters last year the you commission launched a task force to step up its response to those foreign and e.u. campaigns but critics say these efforts may be too little too late whoever you are wherever you are you can get involved european union institutions have poured enormous resources in to get out the vote campaign but have they invested enough in stay out of the vote efforts in ways to prevent malicious meddling it's not like there was no warning 5 years ago the kremlin's internet research agency in st petersburg was revealed estimated to spend more than a $1000000.00 a month pumping out anti western spin 3 years ago u.s.

elections were the target of that russian troll farm yet the european commission waited until just 6 months before the european parliament elections to launch its action plan against this information we should have been doing much more kalinski spent 3 years in the european commission's struck on task force a communications unit created in 2015 to counter russian efforts to smear the e.u. now with an independent think tank kalinski says brussels is way behind expecting that we will solve the problem in the last 2 months before the elections or even in the last month of the elections when the russians have been working on it for the past 5 years i think it's very naive facebook google and twitter have a role in the commission's plan pressed to better verify users' identities and remove fake accounts faster and to make clear who's paying for advertising and content facebook has just opened its own war room and dublin to target in authentic activity ahead of elections let's go in or from. use external action service says

there has been progress it's not as much as we would have liked to but we have seen in terms of transparency rules are things are really moving and i think the platforms understood that they also need to take a much closer look at what is happening there but not everyone is counting on bureaucrats and big tech to lead the battle out in the quiet flemish countryside is what you might call an antique troll farm with a staff of one. martin to a welcome sight martin shankly debunks false online stories on his own website lead stories dot com and also as part of fact check e u a collaboration of european media outlets working to keep the record straight ahead of the elections anything that looks suspicious take a closer look at that. smell for me. especially the kind of story that makes people angry or upset or. confirms people in their bias like i knew

it was a limb of this or a neutral but after showing brand speak content with a big red banner on his website he also formally notifies days book which immediately reduces the items visibility in its news shank is convinced even small doses of dissent from asian can be dangerous for democracy if you can swing a few 100 foods in a certain district or in a certain state. that my balance and you cannot make this coalition of death go listen because of one seat that's moved. so it will undoubtedly have an influence with so much at stake across 28 countries experts say we're likely to see intense just information campaigns right up until the final votes are cast. let's bring in the correspondent now put that report together for us teri schultz good morning terry terry can you tell us what's what's the kremlin's and game in this

what does it want to achieve with its this information campaigns what the kremlin wants is for voters to be confused it doesn't necessarily need to convince them of anything in particular simply to make them doubt their leaders doubt their media doubt each other even to not know exactly what their future might hold and in that situation the kremlin thinks perhaps they'll be more likely to install authoritarian leaders who are say they'll keep them safe and maybe more amenable to the kind of tactics that moscow likes and remember it at e.u. level it only takes one vote in many cases to block things like sanctions or energy projects so as martin shank explained i mean sometimes all you need is a few 100 votes way this way or that way to make a really big difference but to be fair it's not only moscow doing this i'm big big hacking campaigns have been traced back to iran to china to north korea and of course extremists in in europe and the united states are all using exactly the same

playbook it's just that we happen to know perhaps the most about the russian efforts because they were so successful in the 2016 u.s. election and in the exit campaign as well ok terry your report points to the powerful internet players facebook and google being enlisted in the effort to prevent a foreign political meddling but there are plenty of reasons to ask of silicon valley corporations or the right partners or europe to help protect the integrity of its elections. sure there's a lot of discomfort about who would decide what stays up and what's gets taken down what's the law and what's the truth and nobody really wants google or facebook to be making that kind of decision about political content but you cannot do this without them and that has certainly been proven by the fact that there are millions and millions of fake accounts floating out there who are reaching just untold numbers of of voters and so what has been done is that the big platforms the social media giants have signed a code of conduct with the european commission that says they're going to be more proactive about taking down the fake content about making sure they know who paid

for ads who paid for articles and importantly there they need to change the way they put fake stories in their algorithm so if you've got a fact checker saying and they've proven a story is false then facebook in working with some of these consortiums will then drop that story down so it makes it more difficult for people to see the fake content and make it go viral and hopefully that's having an impact search shows for us from brussels thanks so much terry for your report for coming in this morning and checking out all of this for us or we've been talking about social media being used to spread disinformation countries around the world also face the online spread of violent extremism the leaders of france and new zealand have been holding a special summit of paris to tackle that issue being comes of response to the christchurch attacks which were shared in real terms real time rather by the shooter on facebook. when the right wing extremist in new zealand shot and killed 51 people in 2 mosques in christ church he live streamed the act on facebook. the

footage went viral. now a new zealand's prime minister just in the are done and french president and manuel mccrum are taking a stand against hatred and violence online the end of the christ church call for action is to prevent the spread of extremist content on social media. what happened in christ church was not merely an unacceptable abject terrorist attack it was a transformation of the internet into a full on propaganda machine that aims to destroy any form of cohesion in our societies was in christchurch called action an action plan for change it's a global response to a trade you did it. on the shores of my country but we're also not liefeld around the world fundamentally it ultimately commits us all to build a more humane internet. which cannot be misused by terrorists for their hateful

pisses earlier facebook founder mark zuckerberg announced new restrictions for the online platform if users break certain rules they will be blocked from transmitting live material in addition a research project aims to improve the analysis of images which is especially important in recognising videos with terror related or other violent content if these measures had already been in place the perpetrator would not have been able to broadcast it live participants say this is only a starting point they want to gainst overly optimistic expectations of the christ church call. here in germany a small radical far right party is trying to boost its draw with marches in the country's. 3rd path the group. for the european parliamentary elections. to the east german town of. members of this extremist group amidst the calls for. this is in eastern germany and the office of the political party or 3rd path

they sell secondhand clothing here for germans only the party caste itself as being a party of the people the german people the party also shares information here on its program it wants to see the german borders shift back to where they were before the 2nd world war and cut right through the middle of poland they said german women should have more children and immigration should be stopped when. my ideal germany is a place where politicians have the final say and they should always act in the interests of germans we support closing the borders and we believe this foreign infiltration cannot continue. again and again the 3rd path has marched through plow and most recently at the beginning of may there marches are reminiscent of hitler's 3rd the torches flags and drums.

the neo nazi party has polarized the people. they were allowed to carry torches to our uniforms it was creepy i find it a bit frightening. some of their ideas you can't fault. it's horrible that they've set up base here and even worse the people indulge them. whether groups are allowed to demonstrate here is up to the local district office if demonstrators wear uniforms or if there's the threat of violence then a rally can be banned but so far authorities haven't acted local authorities have often been accused of not using the full extent of the law against far right groups many say they downplay the threat they pose or turn a blind eye to the marches are repeatedly allowed. it is about rights and. i think it's important that the playing field is extended as far as possible for

sometimes i would like to see more courage from authorities. political scientist says just restricting the demonstrations is not enough he's calling for a complete ban on the party. rights and the rule of law it's important the playing field be extended both legally and traditionally i'd like to see more courage from local authorities. but that's still far off because it's difficult to do so under german law so the 3rd path party is running in next week's european elections. correspond to balls here now to talk more about this good morning report is the 3rd pass unconstitutional if so shouldn't be banned there are moves afoot right now to bad that it is clearly a neo nazi party just clearly unconstitutional and it's clearly a party that openly says we want to overthrow this political system but i'm there

and there are reasonable voices as we have just heard him say we have to ban this policy but the big hurdles to do so there's a huge fresh old has been built up by the constitutional court here in germany in do in banning parties be hot to attempt to ban right being extremist parties in the recent past both of them failed because the constitutional court said it's not enough just to say oh it's a party that wants to overthrow the system you also have to look do they have to power to do so. with a party like the. we clearly have to say it's a micro party they have very very very very few members they don't they don't have a big fellowship and but they don't have many people that vote for them so they don't have the power to overthrow the system and i think i'm afraid you have to say . ok now. saying they have small numbers but do they have a potentially larger draw could they become

a force in german politics well it's not a party as of just said that it's going to be successful let's say of the upcoming european elections or any other elections nationwide or even in the original state of saxony and that's not the idea of the party the idea of this party is to use the protective shell of the law which is giving them the rights of the party of a democratic polity. to pursue their ideas their neo nazi ideas they know for sure that if we are a party the cons do anything to us they combine us and that's what they want to do they don't want to be successful at elections they want to be there and push your ideas ok now parties on the left here in germany claim that there is a relationship between extremist groups like this and the far right if de the alternative for germany that's something we'll turn to for germany vehemently denies are there any connections absolutely as you just said the a he denies to

have any ties to extremist groups in germany they even have a resolution saying it's impossible to be a member of the alternative for germany if you have any ties to extremes troops on the other side you have to see that our personal ties between leading a 50 put a titian's to extremist groups as we have seen last year in cabinets do they have been riots in camden last year after a man was stepped to death allegedly by foreigners or refugees on the protest they came up with off what they were led by extremist people people from extremist party like. people needing the close ties between these parties put personal ties between these parties though the deal was says we don't have anything to do with rupert thank you very much that riverview devolved on this morning and welcome. let's move on to some sports now and every year the german football world selects a coach whose social involvement abroad has made
