not return on the float it's more residuals from their. list traditionally. the arab the be above the end. this is coming to life from the man the u.s. president declares a national emergency over foreign tracts president trump sounds an executive order which bans business with foreign telecoms believed to close a national security of the director of does not mean any company is believed to be targeting the chinese. also on the program. boris don't place for any

charge you get one in 5 live inconstancy areas that's a warning from the age group save the children as it marks a 100 years of it service. and a massive push is underway to boost voter turnout in the upcoming european parliamentary elections but. enough to counter far with this information campaigns aiming to influence the code. above. all else. hello i'm of the thought of a warm welcome to you. u.s. president has signed an executive order to declare a national emergency giving as administrator an extensive oust banned the activities of foreign telecoms the white house says the measure is not directed at any specific country or company but the move is widely seen as targeting the trying

these telecom giant flyway. 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 wobble with china because we've been treated very unfairly for many many decades for actually a long time and it should have been handled a long time ago and it was then why analysts now. 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 our way and 7 the 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 and their technology the restrictions will come into force in the next few days however one way executives are taking the pressure from washington in stride. so. you put up early on that our business in the united states is not that big due to our global operations which any change in one country has little impact on our global business or me me me in the face of the possible challenges of cyber security in the future who quote way is a positive contribution not a destructive force somewhat it's only for the one we are looking forward to the future willing to continue to invest more from innovation to cooperation as usual

but i want to. but for now it seems while way won't be cooperating with many of its american partners. and for more of the story i'm joined by alan tilton from business desk welcome and 1st of all what do you make of this u.s. move to declare a national emergency so its ministration can target big telecom companies well right now it's kind of hard to see exactly if it's a justified move or not because i mean a cynic could say this is just another step in the ongoing trade conflict between the u.s. and china and that donald trump is attempting to use while way to get a little bit more leverage over beijing however you also have to realize the concerns about security that have been raised regarding huawei are nothing new i mean they 1st came up in the u.s. context in 2012 under the obama administration and if you look around the world other countries are taking these allegations of security holes or even possible

espionage quite seriously in a street in new zealand taken steps to ban their technology as well as japan but that's also coming in the face of u.s. pressure now the united states for its part claims that it has information saying that huawei is engaged in a close information exchange kind of information with us i think we really don't know according to court documents there has been some some information gathered by intelligence resources however that's under lock and key we haven't seen it we don't know if the u.s. international partners have seen it so it's really hard to understand exactly if this is a justified move or not but it's a political or a security move but you seem to share the view that this is targeting the chinese a telecom now does this mean if that huawei is banned that all kind of communication technology will come from domestic providers in the u.s. well we don't really know however i wouldn't bet on it because at the end of the day you know price in the market is going to decide and if you look at it in the

only $2.00 domestic makers of 5 g. technology in the switches that are necessary when it comes to united states so at the end of the day is where it's going to be making the cheapest technology out there and that's actually something while we keep pointing to know for a long time they have been the market leader they. reduced in the infrastructure and they are insane you know look this does this decision will have knock on effects inside the united states because especially in rural areas some of the smaller internet service providers are dependent upon sheep solutions because the end of the day they don't have as many clients as their you know big city competitors and they have to turn to companies like quality now if that technology isn't actually available in north america they'll have they could have a lot of problems actually expanding their 5 g. networks and were actually created in the 1st place and bringing them to more rural communities i mean what chua way has shot off the whole thing saying its presence in the u.s. is fairly small but how much of a setback is it for the company which has huge global ambitions well i mean it's definitely if you take it as a bellwether it's not a good indicator i mean here inside inside the e.u.

there are telecoms who are saying that there are issues with weiwei technology now they're not actually bringing up spying but rather saying that while ways a little bit sloppy when it comes to security in terms of their own technology and saying that they could that that those little holes that are in there could be abused by nefarious parties and hackers well and this is something wall way has actually admitted to in saying that they're going to invest in 2000000000 in the coming years to try to make their technology a little bit tighter in a little bit more secure. taking it back to the u.s. context i mean you have to realize supply chain is massive it's huge and while they may not sell as much technology inside the united states as they do elsewhere their supply chain still runs the united states so that means this could throw kind of a monkey wrench in that many of the partners in the united states will have much more difficulty doing business with them and that could make the cost of production for hallway go up in the years to come adult in film business says thank you very much for that analysis thank you. let me now bring you up to date with some other

stories making news around the world as strikes by the saudi led coalition have killed at least 6 civilians in yemen's rebel held capital sanaa according to a health official events the insurgents the strikes reportedly targeted 9 minute 3 sites around the city and they come today is often surgeons claimed responsibility for drone attacks on to solve the oil pumping stations. saddam's military council has announced it has suspended talks with protesters on civilian rule after clashes erupted in the capital khartoum the military council said the suspension would last $72.00 hours it's said out several conditions for negotiations to be resumed including the dismantling of barricades erected by the testers. risk is have pulled 11 people alive from a collapsed building in china's financial hub shanghai at least another 9

as dangerous for children as places at all. of it because on that story again later in the tour the david we talk to all the directors of save the children as the organization marks 100 years since its founding. now europe goes to the polls next week 28 e.u. countries with 400000000 voters will decide who will represent them for the next 5 years at the european parliament head of the poll the e.u. has made a major push to boost turnout in the face of growing euro skepticism in some countries there are also concerns about online dissin from nation campaigns trying to confuse voters last year the e.u. commission set up a task force to deal with this threat but critics say its efforts may have been too little too late. you whether you are wherever you are you can get involved the 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 effort 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 he 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 to 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 in dublin to target in authentic activity ahead of elections let's go in or from the e.u. is 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 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 and farm with a staff of one. wrote almost every insight martin shanking debugs 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 that we take a closer look at that. smells funny. especially the kind of story that makes people angry or upset or. confirms people in their bias like i knew muslims this or i knew trumpet that aftershock brands speak content with a big red banner on his website he also formally notifies piece book which immediately reduces the items visibility in its news feeds shank is convinced even small doses of dissent from asian can be dangerous for democracy if you can swing a few 100 photos in a certain district or in a certain state. the balance and you cannot make this coalition or that coalition because once it has moved so it will undoubtedly have an influence

with so much at stake across $28.00 countries experts say we're likely to see intense disinformation campaigns right up until the final votes are cast. and that report was by a t.v. show in brussels joins me now from there terry what do those who are carrying out these just information campaigns really want to achieve. all they really do need to do is to sow distrust and to meet people doubt what they know to make them uncertain about their leaders their communities the media and in that way these actors hope that perhaps the vote for more authoritarian leaders and if we're talking about the kremlin or or extremist groups they think maybe those leaders will be more amenable to their aims and so remember if you if you get all the way up to e.u. level major policies can be blocked with just one vote something like sanctions or

energy projects so you really can make a big difference just by sowing distrust and that's what they're aiming for and what kind of specific information campaigns have been identified and have fact checkers been taking them down yeah we've seen a lot of campaigns debunked here in the days before the european parliament elections the fact checker that i visited martin shank which you saw in my story he showed me how he took apart a claim that a muslim had been seen a man in white robes had been seen perhaps setting the noted on fire now you know how much emotion that event caused and what martin did is simply to find a longer clip of that video and then you could see very clearly this was a fireman not somebody wearing a long robe you know not some somebody that was was there. with malicious intent and the noted on fire and the other big successes have been have come from the

online activist group avaaz who has hired its own elves to take down many many pages reaching millions of users spreading fake content they take this information to facebook and facebook takes the pages down given all of this how much of a credit could this information pose to the integrity of european elections next week. well the european union institutions have been warning for years that these elections have a huge bull's eye on them and who can blame the bad actors you've got 28 countries 750 seats very powerful positions of course they're going to try to meddle but it therefore begs the question of why they waited until 6 months before this vote to launch their dissent from ation plan counter disinformation plan and i think that we won't know until the very final days what exactly the big plans are of the of the dissent from asian campaigners experts tell me that it could be just a day or 2 before the vote where we see some huge drop of information that nobody

has seen before coming from stolen e-mails or something like this we've certainly seen that in the u.s. elections and then it could be days weeks months even years after the elections until it's all unraveled what we do know is there will be some influence it just remains to be seen how great the regency teri schultz in brussels thank you very much. now we've been talking months social media being used to spread disinformation countries around the world also fifi online spin to violent extremism and the leaders of france and new zealand have been holding a special summit inbounds to tackle that issue the meeting comes in response to the christchurch terrorist attacks. when the rightwing 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 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 but it's a question called action an action plan for change it's a global response to a tragedy did a kid on the shores of my country but we're also met liefeld around the world fundamentally it ultimately commits assault to build a more humane internet which cannot be misused by terrorists for their hateful people says 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 violence 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. yes jim the a small radical far right party is trying to boost its support with marches evoking the country's nazi past called a victim of a the 3rd baath the group is running candidates for the european parliamentary elections our reporter ruth trouser went to a town where this extremist group has found funny was amid chords that it should be banned. this is plan in eastern germany and the office of the political party or 3rd path. they sell secondhand clothing here for germans only the party cast

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 say german women should have more children and immigration should be stopped. deal germany is a place where politicians have the final say and they always have 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 reich the torches flags and drums. party has polarized the people of.

torches to our uniforms it was creepy i find it a bit frightening. some of their ideas you can't. it's horrible that they've set up base here and 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 is 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 the marches are repeatedly allowed. because it's on a cell phones it's about rights and the rule of law and i think it's important the playing field both legally and judicially is extended as far as possible though sometimes i would like to see more courage from local authorities political scientist says just restricting the neo nazi demonstrations is not enough he is

calling for a complete ban on the party. even though they are a small group i think they need to be banned because they audiology and they orientation is fundamentally the same as national socialism reasons and he's 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. that's been a draw in a political correspondent rupa to be there in the studio welcome you but listen to the report you feel this body should be unconstitutional how active moves to ban this well there are reasonable voices as we just heard who say we need to ban this chapati this policy is clearly unconstitutional it's clearly says we want to overthrow this political system but we have seen 2 attempts in the recent past to

extremist right wing extremist parties in germany and both times the constitutional court said well it's not enough that the party is clearly unconstitutional it also has to have the power to really overthrow the system it has to be big enough and this party here we're talking about is a micro party and spoke with very few members it's not likely they're going to gain any sort of electoral success at the next elections for instance at the european elections so the chances are very high that another attempt to ban the party like this would fail so it is a micro body but how much of support does it have in terms of its ideology well what we have to see is that this party. very likely is not going to have any success at any elections and in the near future not that the european elections look at the regional elections which are coming up within the next 2 months but that's not the ideal the idea of this party is to have a party as a potential scheldt in the end the because if you are

a political party in germany you have protection from the constitution and you can do very much as we have already seen and these troops these neo nazi groups know that very good and they want to have this party as a shell to pursue their ideas they are in public and that's the actual idea being a party for them then there was a some reports that this body of the old nazi party as you called it has links with the far right if tea party which is the main opposition in germany what you can tell us about that but we have to be very clear 1st that the f.t. always denies that they have any links to right wing extremists whatsoever and they've they've been is a resolution within the party that says if you have been a member of a right wing extremist group in germany in the past you can't be a member of the a of d. pot but that some post moldings and that have become evident in just last year for instance in kemet that we have seen racists riots last year by

a dealing just walked together with these off party members right from the desk thank you very much for the assessment on this issue. you're watching the news coming to you live from berlin here's a recap of the top stories at the funding for you u.s. president dollar trump has issued an executive order that bans u.s. companies from doing business with foreign telecoms to pose a security risk it's thought to be aimed at the chinese tech company. and don't forget you can order was good news on the gorgeous download an app from google or from the apple store that will give you access to all the latest news from around the world as witnessed push notifications for any breaking news and you can also use the duty of the app to send the photos and videos which you think might be of interest to us. and they remember you can
