the best . this is judy of the news coming to you live from berlin. he was a comedian and now he's the president of ukraine 41 years old of under presidents he has promised to be a new type of leader but more to his plans and how he meets the many challenges facing the country we talk to a correspondent in kiev. coming up. chinese smop full makeup is just a fresh blow from the united states as tech china google says it's cutting ties with the company the consumers really wants to lose the most to. us and of us 3
2:01 pm
inches the document at the core of the country's democracy. was inactive 70 years ago to examine what it means for germany today. i don't have a warm welcome to you. former comedian vaulting resilin ski has been sworn in as the president of ukraine this gave me to announce he would dissolve parliament and hold a new election in 2 months time he said his 1st challenge was to end the conflict would russia and the east of the country. i picked a whole lot of ms lewinsky and for as many supporters. the beaming president elect on his way to being sworn in embracing the enthusiastic crowd you know gracious
2:02 pm
a reality check for me not so long ago played the role of president in a popular t.v. comedy show. yes i have been voted in on the promise of change. and the country do not have to wait long for the new president to shake things up as he does of parliament only moments after being sworn in the present great justice scalia i dissolved the whole of nevada of the convocation didn't get called for elections which i hope will get a majority in parliament if a new president meets a backing off the house to tackle the cranes not means that a fucking economy and to make good on his promises to tackle corruption. another pressing issue is a simmering conflict in the us just claim $13000.00 lives to date so let's get already called for a ceasefire with the russian backed separatists but it's not clear if russia has a dialogue with the protesting president. so that's been caught in the support of
2:03 pm
the people but he also has to live up to their expectations. society expects him to destroy the corrupt system that has developed in ukraine over the last 3 decades. but for trouble taking away politicians immunity ending the war and fighting corruption those are the 3 main things that need to be done. be sure to lend looking good i hope his actions match his watch if they do i think ukraine will live in peace and plenty. tough challenges lie ahead and the former actor will find that it's much harder to run popular as an actual president. and. the county joins me from the ukrainian capital kiev left the new president did away with some of the from honesty if you know gratian as we saw in our report a lot of fun things he and i also say is going to dissolve parliament how did that go down that well i'm rich he could see
2:04 pm
a lot of heads being scratched and lots of fairly confounded expressions on the benches of ukraine's parliament just couple of meters away from the landscape he made that announcement he really had kept the tension going initially going with all the normal protocol and you have the anthem being sung and seal of state being handed over lots of pomp and ceremony and then yes he says he would be taking this opportunity to dissolve parliament and then the 2 months that now between today's date and those elections at least if things go to his plan he wants the members of parliament to pass a law stripping themselves of immunity from prosecution not only that he also wants to change the electoral system and live on t.v. with most of ukraine watching he fired some of the heads of ukraine's top security services the prosecutor general so it really was a morning of great political drama and seeing a sign that you know he knows how to play this game having those parliamentary elections is crucial because he doesn't have
2:05 pm
a party yet he doesn't have that support in parliament and if he's really wants translate on those huge expectations that people have on him he will need to have people in parliament and obviously he wants those elections to happen while he's still riding high in the polls as a lens is a political novice make for many who voted for him that spot of his shot but what is expected to be the focus of his presidency. well exactly and that was the worry among many observers here that he might be good at campaigning but that he wouldn't be too good at day to day politics it's very early now to tell how well he'll do based on today's performance he's pretty canny operator he really took that opportunity with everyone watching to really put his opponents of an ultimatum put him in a position they couldn't really get out of in terms of the issues well he really he campaigned on a platform of very sort of broad brushstroke change and you generation a new tone a new approach to politics fighting corruption and allowing ukraine to kind of move forward and really this is a country that has failed to make good on its huge potential it's the 2nd poorest
2:06 pm
country in europe despite huge resources in terms of the details there's been a lot of criticism that he hasn't really given us a lot of detail that he stayed very vague but it seems that isn't hurting him ukrainians are wanting that message of change and for now they're expecting the fact that he's not giving them too much in the way of small print. and nic in ukraine has a child relations with russia what's the reaction from moscow been to the inauguration of the new president. was a very very you couldn't say catty snide response from the kremlin from vladimir putin's press spokesman saying that. woods. congratulate his ukrainian counterpart when he when he zaleski were had shown that he had brought about improvements in the russian ukrainian relationship and had done taken steps to improve the situation so a very provisional and very big grudging message there from moscow i think in terms
2:07 pm
of these relations we didn't hear anything direct about russia from zelinsky his speech but he did say that don't bason ending the war the conflict there would be his priority and obviously given that those separatists are backed by russia there's no way around the kremlin i don't think will seize alecky getting on a plane and trying to talk one to one man to man with putin. ukraine's society off to 5 years of war really wouldn't accept that so there's a pretty narrow path that he can take now without angering all those people who have been at war and who have kept this country going and he'll probably be looking to get the west europe in the u.s. on his side to join him in those negotiations with the kremlin and not go there alone and risk as many observers have said being taken of on shore by vladimir putin who as we know is a very experienced and very shrewd political operator right and economy in kiev thank you very much will take from that. now a chinese tech company huawei has been dealt a fresh blow after google said it was cutting ties with the firm the u.s.
2:08 pm
internet giant says it's just funding to a decision by the trumpet ministration to categorize huawei as a national security threat the move means that in future owners of flavia's smart phones will have only limited access to google services and this comes as the u.s. and china and gauge an ongoing trade dispute which shows no signs of easing. 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.
2:09 pm
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 u.s. suppliers like intel qualcomm xilinx and broadcom according to the nikkei business report. tech experts have question to our 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 in their 5 g. networks the white house claims beijing could use the technology to spy on the west huawei has repeatedly tonights that allegation it says it's going to fight back against what it cost the strangling moves of the u.s. huawei now plans to use backup chips it's been developing for years in see. the impacts will be limited. and to get both on the story and the context want to go
2:10 pm
juice from leader of this business this 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 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 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 the both insisting that the already existing to a smartphone users they still will be able to update apps and push through security fixes update google play service and so forth but once school launches the new on droid version and that'll be later this year then that is not certain anymore so i think i should think 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
2:11 pm
bestselling smartphone brand in 2020 so that will be sort of a do you rail to that plan. even though your way has come out now in 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 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 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 oil we know there are several other name. emerging now very quickly one of them of course germans any conductor manufacturer in finian
2:12 pm
which says that they suspended shipments to your way technologies and that just shows that washington's crackdown on a sure way is now causing ripples beyond you as a borders there's also 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 your 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 so it's going to be difficult for where here and a lot of dimensions to this issue and also how it will play into the trade dispute between china and the u.s.
2:13 pm

2:15 pm
right interior minister as it really expected its bills. a 5th of austrian vice chancellor. allegedly offering government contracts for campaign funding he has since tended his resignation. it was this video released by a german news outlets to speak it and as you touch that site on the broad austria's governing coalition to its knees in an elaborate sting operation chancellor heads because judged the austria's far right party f p earlier is heard and seen offering government contracts to a fake gresson backer in return for campaign help while the video was filmed in 2017 it didn't become public until last friday. resigned in disgrace and chancellors about 10 courts responded by calling for early elections but courts question whether the interior minister habit kiko also from the far right party should stay on in the meantime kikuyu would be in charge of investigating this scandal despite being the head of the far right party at the time of the sting the
2:16 pm
far right party however said their ministers would collectively step back should their interior minister be sacked. and have me join our correspondent bob levy is that who is keeping track of that story in vienna mom of the austrian chances suboxone courts was on the pressure to sack is interior minister and he's on the far right feet of body but he's refused to do this do we know what the strategy is . it seems the nation was waiting with bated breath and particularly the austrian and the international press here in vienna but it seems that sebastian course is still playing technique a tactical games it seems that he still doesn't want to take responsibility to sensitive freedom party from his government and from the coalition himself enough and he puts the responsibility for that onto the president and he says that he doesn't want to sort of take the decision away from him and speak before the
2:17 pm
president would to sort of come out here and say what he wants and how he wants to proceed which of course is just an excuse so he's still playing games he's still sort of trying to keep things alive and trying to somehow keep contact to the freedom party freedom party it is a very different picture than what we have seen from sebastian chords in the past always the sort of like a strong word very quickly and comes out with strong pronouncements not so in the scandal he somehow seems to still feel fear the fallout on the hill and the far right freedom party also addressed journalists what did they have to say. oh they said that they had done fantastic work in government and that everybody should really thank them instead of sort of scampering as the coalition government and that the necessary steps had been taken collins shy head to head to step down and
2:18 pm
more or less things were over and particularly not particularly the contentious interior minister who by the way among other problems that he caused sort of endangered security cooperation was neighboring countries like germany for instance because there is no trust in security services in watch he does kill came out and said none of this is my fault i'm the best interior minister ever and i want to stay in office so they are fighting and they are checking in stead of being contrite and saying we have very sorry about this they say we are sorry but somehow they say it doesn't matter we can continue both of these and thank you very much showing us up to date on austrian politics in vienna. now the german constitution a basic law market 70th anniversary this week the constitution came into effect in may $949.00 after being put together under the supervision and vision of the victorious and i. its aim was to ensure that after years of nazi dictatorship and
2:19 pm
the destruction of the war the new germany was built on solid democratic foundations 40 years later when the west and east were reunited the constitution was adopted in the new arena fine. but how relevant is the constitution in today's germany article one for example states that human dignity is in viability as fodder for our series it's my right and next story looks at what dignity means to a german man who was homeless for 10 years. also specific the bush going to the toilet taking a shower there normal things for everyone but how can you do this when you're homeless it's not so simple. dominick clone lived on the streets for 10 years boys on the move looking for something to eat somewhere to sleep he says it was
2:20 pm
a life without dignity. i don't ache was 16 when his mother threw him out the streets of st paoli became his home the red light district of hamburg. would beat each other up for a sleeping bag it's a fight for survival and then there's a sadistic violence and contempt where people come in they don't treat you with dignity but like dirt. they pee on your sleeping bag or better use something. there might not be a tomorrow maybe someone will set me on fire beat me to death you end up living just for the here and now and trying to stay alive. yet dominic's got his high school diploma and volunteered in
2:21 pm
a clothing to pay for refugees people even worse off than him he sees this kind of thing all the time please wake up a sleeping homeless man and tell him to move on. this is also a question of dignity cool among us who sits down somewhere at lunchtime expects to be approached by 3 police officers and you see how they put on gloves because they're disgusted that's no way for people to treat each other. dominic is working to offer homeless people some dignity he's collecting donations to pay for a shower bath a bathroom on wheels with a dressing room full of clean clothes he learned what hygiene can mean to a person when he was living on the streets. body and soul go hand in hand at some point if you're physically dirty you turn inwards and feel in the end that you yourself are dirt has a lot to do with dignity and feelings of self-worth these are things that are lost
2:22 pm
on the streets i hope this bus can help taking showers to people who need them. dominic got his life in order he's 30 now and for the 1st time his existence is fairly secure he has work he has goals. and he has friends most importantly he says. i have an apartment and i appreciate what that means for me it's a luxury to be able to sleep in my boxer shorts or to wash myself whenever i feel like you know i need a shower. the. people have dignity and that's inviolable and that should apply to everyone washing is a large part of that. now news from the world of sport and preparations for the 2020 soccer world cup in full swing and got the but the
