12:01 pm
a fresh blow from the united states as tech china google says it's cutting ties with the company and the consumer has to be the one to lose out the most. and after 6 weeks of voting india's matam election is finally over it's been a wonder referendum on privatised in the interim or d.c. so is he headed for a 2nd tell. hello and welcome to you i'm a touchy we begin in ukraine revealed to me is the lenski has been sworn in as president in his inaugural speech selenski announced he would immediately dissolve parliament and hold of the elections. fortunately great. the former actor and comedian takes over after defeating petro poroshenko in
12:02 pm
a landslide victory last month but he does not command a majority in parliament. now the job is nick ali joins me now from the ukrainian capital of kiev nick quite a bombshell in the president's inauguration speech is dissolving bottom line as it is said why is it taking this step that often i'm rich or well you can definitely tell that is an experience showman he knows how to keep an audience on the edge of their seats this inauguration ceremony started very conventional with the pomp and ceremony of states yank them being sung the great seal of the nation being handed over to him so far so traditional words about national unity and then within a few minutes of the end of the whole event he told all the planes politicians who were sitting in front of him that he would indeed be dissolving parliament not only that but he was giving them the 2 months before those elections are expected to happen to pass a law to strip themselves of immunity from prosecution not only that he fired
12:03 pm
several of ukraine's top officials the head of security services they too sitting just a few meters away from him lots of bemused expressions there the camera zooming in on the people who had just lost their jobs live on t.v. so that definitely was a pretty dramatic climax this event he didn't give a reason in this speech for why he used to open parliament but it is clear he will need a majority in parliament the court has no political force no policy behind him who's going to set one up to be able to translate on his very ambitious agenda so while he's still riding high in the polls he obviously wants to bring home that advantage and get that majority in parliament to allow him to really translate on that 73 percent presidential when almost 3 quarters of ukrainians giving him their votes and expectations riding exceedingly high here that's right and of course that is given face many challenges as president you covered his campaign before to continue let's 1st take a look at your reports on his election victory. was. it was
12:04 pm
a result that even zelinsky himself seemingly couldn't quite believe 73 percent almost 3 quarters of ukrainian voters had put their trust in him the political near a man who had only announce his intention to run in just a few months before a face familiar to almost all ukrainians from television but someone who had never been involved in politics let alone run for office. for incumbents petro poroshenko it was a stinging defeat losing to zelinsky in all but one ukraine's regions his pitch to the nation as commander in chief as the man who had kept ukraine in its army together in the face of russian aggression had fallen on deaf ears simply in the weeks since his sensational victory selenski is kept out of the limelight making only a handful of appearances most of them on social media as ukraine's parliament squabbled over the timing of the inauguration but what is it the ukrainians are really
12:05 pm
expecting the new president to do. i don't really know what to expect but i'm hoping for the best i've had enough of the old face and politics. heavy to face corruption in our country is that's the main thing. exactly mrs aris the puts alinsky let's see what to expect from him as president. he speaks of the inauguration as president in this series 17 people zelinsky charms his audience by throwing stuff the protocol of google and refusing to speak will behave like a politician. whether the real presence alinsky will manage to pull off the same feat only time will tell but one thing is already clear he's captured the country's imagination and he won't be the last showbusiness star weighing in on ukraine's politics as the country's most famous rock musician says he too plans to launch a new party. so they get this on your report zelinsky is a comedian who played the president how well is he doing so far
12:06 pm
a big the real thing. it's very early days but i think he is astounding some critics and naysayers who were rather skeptical about how well he do at the back door the kind of behind the scenes politics he definitely seems to have pulled the right strings in terms of getting these these pushing for these new elections so fast coming out all guns blazing not giving his opponents time really to react. making his announcement live on t.v. in front of the ukrainian nation all those foreign guests watching that inauguration that definitely seems like quite a canny move beyond that i think the big dilemma for him will really be trying to stay true to that promise he made during the election campaign one of his slogans was become president but stay an ordinary guy his pitch was that he wasn't like the rational politicians he wouldn't be selling his interests away behind closed doors but he will have to deal with his basic opponents people who've been around the
12:07 pm
block and trying to engage with them while not disappointing his audience his voters will be the real test of his presidency and of course all the big challenges will be how to deal with russia what are the in this case plans on how to approach relations with its big neighbor. well in this speech he didn't make any direct reference russia but what he did put at the center of his speech was bringing back east and ukraine under the control of the ukrainian government bring those people together with the rest of ukraine's population and that obviously necessarily means dealing with russia because it's russia that's supporting those separatists in eastern ukraine i think there's very little chance for now at least of him getting on a plane and trying to kind of pull off some kind of bilateral diplomacy looking into. trying to find some kind of understanding there after 5 years rather of conflict in the east of ukraine of crimea that really won't go down very well with
12:08 pm
ukraine's public we saw that in the elections there was a candidate who flew to moscow before the 1st round elections he came in 4th place so it's really pretty narrow path that awaits alinsky he can't really afford to go off that path too far i think he'll look to ring reengage with a kind of multilateral formats bringing in the europeans the americans to basically hold his hand and to prevent the russians from putting on too much pressure but for now that so very difficult to see how that's going to play out and many analysts here don't see much progress happening in a hurry. thank you very much for that assessment. now the chinese tech company huawei has been dealt a fresh blow off to google said it was cutting ties with the firm the u.s. internet giant says it is responding to a decision by the trump administration to categorize huawei as a national security threat the move means that in future owners afai slothful will
12:09 pm
have only limited access to google services and this comes as the u.s. and china engage in an ongoing trade dispute which shows no sign of ending. forget g.-mail view chub google's chrome browser on the play store on your smartphone those apps a likely to disappear from future huawei handsets outside of china and that's not all huawei will also lose access to updates to google's android operating system google is taking direction from the u.s. government which has added to the chinese telecoms company to a trade blacklist triggering restrictions that will make it difficult for huawei to do business with american companies and it's not just google that has cut ties with while away the chinese company won't be able to buy u.s. made chips for its devices any longer. right now quire way buys about $67000000000.00 worth of components each year including about $11000000000.00 from
12:10 pm
u.s. suppliers like intel qualcomm xilinx and broadcom according to the nikkei business report. tech experts have questioned why ways ability to continue to function without cooperation from the united states the u.s. government considers the company a national security threat and has warned its allies not to involve the chinese for in their 5 g. networks the white house claims beijing could use the technology to spy on the west huawei has repeatedly denied that allegation it says it's going to fight back against what it cost the strangling moves of the u.s. why now plans to use backup chips it's been developing for you. is it insists the impacts will be limited. and to get both on the story and the context want to go jim from either of these businesses joins me welcome monica so how much of a setback is this for the chinese tech companies and users who are using their phones would you buy a sure way
12:11 pm
a smart phone right now under the circumstances i think that in the in the short term certainly this is going to have a big impact on sure ways of business because consumers will think twice whether they should invest in a smart phone that very soon might not have access to services to apps that we're used to that we take for granted like you tube or google maps of course both google i'm sure why they're both insisting that the already existing to a smartphone uses they still will be able to update apps and push through security fixes up to google play service and so forth but one school launches the new on droid version and that'll be later this year then that is not certain anymore so i think it should sink that in terms of sales smartphone sales this will have an impact and it'll certainly knock us ambition to overtake samsung to become the best selling smartphone brand in the 2020 so that will be sort of a do you rail to that plan. even though your way has come out now in
12:12 pm
a statement and saying that it will continue to build safe and sustainable software ecosystem for users globally whether that helps or not in the short term i have my doubts in the long term though this could actually lead to the creation of an asian rival to android it's because your way certainly has signaled that it's prepared for the eventuality of being cut off from american know how earlier this year the company's consumer devices chief told german daily debate that we have prepared our own operating system that's our plan b. so we'll have to see how that plays out and how fast exactly meanwhile is just google that's broken off with the way. no there are several other names emerging now very quickly one of them of course german semiconductor manufacturer infinium which says that they suspended shipments to your way technologies and that just shows that washington's crack down on a sure way is now causing ripples beyond you as a borders there's also
12:13 pm
a growing backlash from western countries possible risks of course when it comes to using a sure way for 5 g. the next generation. technology for mobile networks which everybody is very keen on she way is the leader of 5 g. technology most advanced and very cheap but now it's questionable whether people will go for it or whether they look for alternatives there's also a european business lobby in europe so far has been quite sort of calm about it but they now say cases of european firms forced to transfer technology in china are increasing and that they think the regulatory environment in china is bleak it's going to be difficult for where here and a lot of dimensions to this issue and also how to play into the trade dispute between china and the us monica jones from business desk a pleasure to have you with us let me now be yukked it with some other stories making news around the world for the 1st time since the ousting of saddam is
12:14 pm

12:15 pm
a referendum on more of these leadership we'll go live to our correspondent in india in just a bit but 1st a closer look at what's being called the largest exercise in democracy. as indians went to the polls for the final phase of voting prime minister nuri injury modi went to the mountains he hiked through the hills and then visited to hinder shrines taking a spiritual retreat after a chaotic few weeks. the country's general election was a member of the task according to election guidelines voters should not have to travel further than 2 kilometers to cast their vote nevertheless many still had to line up and sometimes massive queues when they got there. people cast their votes at roughly 1000000 polling stations across the country from the highlands of the himalayas to downtown new delhi. prime minister modi and his b j p party hoped his record on national security would
12:16 pm
win him a 2nd term in office he projected himself as a watchman i feel its leader who needs votes to keep the country safe. i think about us not for a while terrorists use explosive devices as a weapon or the weapon off their work or say as a voter id. nor one for gosh i said i believe that the power of photo id as much greater than an i.e.d. what are your thoughts but the election period was mugged by outbreaks of violence in kashmir suspected rebels carried out a grenade attack on a polling booth and several were injured in clashes between modi supporters and his opponents and west bank. prime minister modi and his main rival the head of the opposition congress party raju gandhi exchanged skating verbal attacks modi labeled gandhi's assassinated father a former prime minister himself as corrupt the opposition leader didn't hesitate to
12:17 pm
hit back not in the never never and i'm only going to be spread hatred wherever he goes he tells lies now the polling is over it's a waiting game for the official election results to on may 23rd. and he's obviously if i make and joins me now from the indian capital delhi so here's what exit polls say about the likely outcome of this election. hi i'm with so you know several exit polls here in india have really predicted big wins for prime minister the rhythm of these bitches be led national democratic alliance now many of them see the b.g.p. is likely to win anywhere between $280.31 seats in the indian parliament which they did bottom and with their members a total of $545.00 seats now if these these are big numbers and if they're correct of course it puts the b.g.p. on course to win this election comfortably form a government and of course it would return prime minister in the more the 2 2nd
12:18 pm
term in power but i think we really have to be careful that i mean the sealed words it was said that you know these exit polls tad being the tortoise the unreliable they have did way off the mark in the pasta so i think the only thing we know for certain is that india really faces a kind of no jangling a couple of days now until the official counting really begins on may 23rd that's out of the election was staggered so it was 7 faces a to accommodate the 900000000 people who were eligible to vote now what was the campaign like this and did voting go smoothly across the country. well i would say for the vast majority of the country it did go off smoothly though there were a few glitches you know there were reports of malfunctioning tampering of electronic voting machines in some some states in india the other problem here was there were a lot of complaints against the election commission now this is an autonomous body that the stylus with conducting this election and many opposition parties have said
12:19 pm
that the election commission decided it was biased in favor of the ruling b.g.p. party it said that all amounted to giving more the really unfair advantage in this election and the other problem of course has been the outbreak of violence especially in the state of west bengal you know yesterday and finding uprooting clashes broke out between b. should be supporters and t.m.c. support of the regional party in power there and all of course is a state with a b d p is trying hard to make inroads and boost its share of seats and we've also seen violence elsewhere in parts of maharashtra and these scarred you know so-called red belt areas where the indian government has been battling maist and insurgency for decades as you said for now the of a vote counting south of the 23rd of main that's been really know more about the outcome of this big election so if on the can delhi thank you very much. just to hold snap elections in early september following a corruption scandal involving one of the parties in the governing coalition secret
12:20 pm
video recorded at a resort on the island of in 2017 shows vice chancellor finds christan shakur of the far right freedom party frankly offering government contracts to a person posing as a russian investor in exchange for political favors struck are designed after the video was released by 2 occasions. joining me now is our correspondent bob in austria now both of these developments have caused quite a scandal in austrian politics what did the freedom party saying today's press conference. you would have expected for the freedom party to come out and be extremely contrite however they strode down the gauntlet to chancellor the prime minister of austria chords because what they say is we've done such fantastic work in government we don't deserve to be kicked out the whole thing turns about of
12:21 pm
keeping the home ministry the minister for home affairs in office and of course wants him gone and the freedom party says if he has to step down then everybody steps down and so we are at an impasse really waiting for is a passing chords to declare what he is going to do hot the funny thing here is that the freedom party is still fighting for its political survival especially if you listen to the new leader norbert hofer he was talking as if he had been called through fabric softener the press to ask for the press to be sort of decapitated now we appreciate their work did we ever receive that big party do nations know the biggest was like 10000 euros nothing really so they are still out there in trying to sort of force their version of events on the public and pretend that nothing happened and love a new elections have been called but what does this mean for chances sébastien course what are his options. his options are quite clear he needs to
12:22 pm
get rid of the freedom party in government and then he can probably try to cleanse himself off the dirt that has been accumulating over the last months because it's not only the eva saw scandal it was sort of right extreme right wing connections connections to i didn't terry and. clearly is sort of neo nazi connections off to freedom party and in the us repressed it was just one scandal after the other every few weeks courts had just looked away all the time and pretended that there was nothing to see and he needs to now to take a step away from that if he wants to survive politically we all expect he's going to do that very shortly but for him the choices are quite clear if you carries on was the freedom party then the election for him the elections for him in fall could be relatively dire and how do you think these developments are going to play out in the european elections on sunday barbara. supposedly the voters of the
12:23 pm
freedom party they will be reduced to their core of votes but they will stir still turn out so they will still have some seats in european parliament but the political inroads they could they could make it during the last 2 or 3 years into conservative territory that will probably be lost so they will very likely receive beaching and it's not quite clear yet whether the opposition parties all whether the conservatives themselves can profit from that right bob levey still in vienna thank you very much for bringing us up to date on the latest on the a strain politics combat it. ok enough a since 4th in german football and all the action on sunday was in the 2nd division cologne finished the season 1st but the question was who would be joining them in the top flight next season going into the sea compatible one was sitting in 2nd one point ahead of the on the lead that yvonne got over the line but only just after a fabulous finale have
