under a hang is our asia correspondent is in singapore for us and how much room will this finance ministers meeting in japan give the u.s. and china to find a trade resolution. well ben without a doubt that tree tensions are going to be at the top of the agenda at this meeting and quite a lot of a quite a lot is banked on this meeting on the outcome of this meeting in fact $300000000000.00 worth of chinese goods to be exact because that's how that's that's the latest scare that trump is planning to set tariffs on now the world bank has already recently cut its growth forecasts for the global economy and that's scaring people away so the consensus is that the meeting will be more focused on how to deal with the consequences of the tensions rather than the 2 leaders finding a solution which we all know is not going to happen at this meeting so no one's

hitting the panic button just yet but this could throw a spanner in the works china is russia she calling putin his best friend and they joining forces against the u.s. . well a lot of analysts are saying that the china of russia bromance is nothing more than a show in reality the biggest thing that they have in common is oil and gas and not the individual tree expects with trade and political spends with america so china depends a lot on russia for their energy needs and. even recently signed a new deal one of the largest are on the china russia cooperation so that being sit china and russia see each other more as buddies in the energy market rather than brothers in arms trading for us on romances and trade disputes in

the best best experience is 3 men and changed we all work together when we sell it cost them are always our partners to sayto these. in the sun as possible time the company has announced it could seek to create its own version of android to help maintain its customers user experience. but google says that could make the operating system more vulnerable to attacks it's reportedly lobbying the u.s. government to allow it to continue to work with wolli over the security concerns. so how could a hallway o.-s. endanger google's android ecosystem cutting off while the phones from using android couldn't theory help limit chinese influence to phones manufactured by huawei in china but it would also cut those phones off from google security updates and huawei would be free to distribute those unsecured phones around the world and if a phone running a secure version of android communicated with a phone running in insecurity that could open the ecosystem up to attacks but it's

unclear if u.s. regulators will be swayed to allow google to continue working with wall way. joins us now financial correspondent in frankfurt it's still full steam ahead we have to point out for a while way elsewhere in the world it struck $46.00 commercial 5 g. contracts in 30 countries and regions. that's right that's what who always said this week after signing another deal with russia but you know this wide range of the country makes the scenario even more dangerous for the americans but i have to say also for many other security experts in the west the concern is that by allowing who a way to provide the core of the future 5 g. network the technology for this network the switches we would effectively allow this company which has its origins in the chinese people's army to eventually
