street has the answers, and brazil says it's making gains in the fight against illegal gold mining, but affected community say, the damage is already done. it's that time again, d w. business, welcome. is it a harmless video sharing app or a means for the chinese communist party to track your movements and spread propaganda? the head of tick tock was on the defensive in washington speaking before a u. s. congressional committee. c. e. o. show chew faced intense questioning by law makers who fear that beijing is using the app to hoover up sensitive data on millions of americans. to said that the aps owner bite dance as a private company that does not work for the chinese government, but admitted china based employees would be forced to cooperate with state intelligence agencies. stephens humans has been following the story from washington for us, and dan ives, as

a tech analyst from wed bush securities should have on. let's start with you. set the scene for us. how did the hearing today go for mr. chu? well, to be frank, i don't know anybody who wanted to be in the shoes of mister shoe. i for sure, wasn't willing to do this. why? because it was really aggressive. it was a proverbial blood bath almost. um i, i think he didn't even stand a chance and why? because there were some really unified democrats, as well as republicans. in this committee deb drive to really almost put this into absurdity at some point. it didn't really matter what the tick tock c o said at the end. it was all about proving that there is no independence of tick tock at no guarantee. it will ever be totally independent from the chinese parent company by dance. and that is a concern for a lot of lawmakers, of course,

there's a ton of other issues which they could have asked any other tech company, instagram, twitter, or facebook slash matter is cetera. but it is all and was all about that. and they were aggressive and they didn't that go in at the, at the end, it seemed like really it doesn't really matter. and it didn't matter. was it that tick tock, c o said it was a done deal. they don't trust a tick tock and they kind of wanted bent. and dan, you've described his testimony as a disaster. how serious is this for tick tock? so i don't think there is a disaster and it sets the scene where a tick tock likely is going to get back in the us and you're forced to be sold or spun off. i think there were just no concrete answers on the data around china and i think you are tight room. and this is ultimately something we're doing now in the clock struck midnight from tick tock. 7 in the u. s. current form. and then how

justified are the concerns of the committee? i think clearly there's no us china, cold tech, we're going on. they become the person child. there are with gentlemen concerns around the data, the access, the don't know where it all familiar plea is and i think, you know, you come out of this, i think ultimately more questions and answers in terms of from the china beijing data there. component ok. but then pick talks, pledge to separate us citizens data. so you know, all of the servers would be based in the us and overseen by a 3rd party. in this case, the computing from oracle. don't you think that would be enough to lay the concerns of lawmakers, book 50 it says study back for years. right. and i think that's really the next step in terms the ruling from there about how secure that would be, or call it's one of the best brand stalwart through the us. so that's clearly that

was there sort of way to sort of rectify the situation. but he was like, the way this is playing out that that's probably not going to awesomely alive those theory next. the issues here. so you mentioned city as the committee on foreign investment in the united states that interviewed or, or heard the testimony from mr to just now stephan. i'd like to go back to you the final word. what happens next in this case? well, there will be more questions from the committee members or forwards via email, or in any other means to of the, to clark c e. o. and he has a, a time for him to answer those. and then there will be at some point, maybe another hearing or if the committee decides they heard enough a recommendation to put a put possible ben or to vote on the, on the floor to the house house of representatives, or keep in mind. and this is what everybody needs to keep in mind. those committee hearings are serving

a political purpose for the committee members who are playing of course, and use this as a platform to play, to their own constituencies and to rally their troops. but keep, also in mind, and that's the bigger picture. this all matters also for 2020 for the presidential elections because national security, china is an adverse or adversary to the united states. as the other year said, tech cold tech course between u. s. and, and a china, these are top topics in the presidential election, 2024. so they have it. that is also why president biden in the white house and by an administration says we sell it or you get bent and uncertain future for take talking today certainly didn't help stephens a month in washington and dan, i'm in sunny california. thank you very much. staying in the us, ford says it's electric vehicle division has lost $3000000000.00 over the past 2

years and it says it expects to lose another 3000000000 dollars this year with more to come after that it's as the losses stem from necessary investments as it brings production facilities online in the u. s. telling investors to see the car maker like a startup. and teddy austro is in new york with more on this forest. teddy. how does ford explain this massive loss? well, you're right daniel. this is a massive loss in the department of the company, bigger than the last 2 years of losses combined, certainly sent the stock down about 2 percent. that ford is trying to make the case that this is the cost of doing business. after all, ford is one of several automakers that are vying for a top spot in the green energy transition. they would like to be selling only 0 emission cars by 2040. now they're doing this through investment investment, big $50000000000.00 through the end of 2026. now this is in developing new models. this is and building factories that actually build these cars as well as the

electric batteries that fuel them. now it's important to know that ford actually isn't losing money. this is the, this has to do with their e v department. they are expecting to do better than last year, just among their combustion engine vehicles. so they're doing fine overall. but what's for the plan to start turning around is e v manufacturing business? well, let's remember, the tesla actually lost money for the 1st decade of its existence and now is the top e v manufacturer. ford is number 2 and has a long way to go. they are trying to jump started through these investments of this start up like department. it's actually a part of a larger shakeup at the company. they're trying to fund these investments through their combustion engine, vehicle sales, but of course they have stiff competition. us automakers, foreign automakers, and of course capital in

a big hurdle will be the cost of batteries which are sky high. they will hope that to see them decrease, but they're quite optimistic forward to saying that they will be manufacturing $2000000.00 automobiles, electric vehicles per year by the end of 2026. and they're hoping for pretty hefty profit margins will test. are always argue that it was more of a tech sub and now seems ford is doing the same. teddy austro on the new york stock exchange. thank you. illegal gold mining has long been a problem in brazil, a new government agency is now fighting back and report so that's making good progress. but for many indigenous communities in particular, it's a stubborn scourge. and they're worried that the damage has already been done. brazil's federal police are calling it a new era in the battle against environmental crime and in defense of indigenous people in the rain forest. the newly created environment and amazon department of

the federal police says it ousted nearly all of the illegal gold miners from the yano mommy people's territory in northern brazil. illegal gold and other mineral mining has devastated the region which is about the size of portugal. not just polluting rivers and scaring off wild game. miners have also threatened indigenous people with firearms. that's all lead to higher numbers of malaria, malnutrition illnesses and does poly so central to the community. they are 180 communities and approximately 14215000 gentle mommy, people in a state of emergency stuff. the jamaica federal police say they focused on seizing equipment, including dredging raf, speedboats, and plains equipment is often and also destroyed. please say this engine was used. any legal gold mining authorities say they've confiscated $1.00 kilos of gold and

it's gold and other precious metals that bring illegal miners like this one to the region illegally. mind source is account for roughly half of the gold exported by brazil. the government is considering laws to crack down on gold laundering, but that would require electronic receipts. i shouldn't, but he sees it the hell. we need a structure that isn't based on good faith deposit. it has to be on the proof of for origin and a robust legal tracking system through text document and sort of the, the hash, the lead gow or vision and the police were i will support whenever there is suspicion that legal parameters were not followed after bought it saved go over once. policy us the gifts spot, arms, leg and foot off in the indigenous people are suffering immensely due to illegal mining. how well a federal police say they are now conducting an investigation into what could be

a genocide of the yano mommy population. but many miners have not been arrested. and the fear is they'll move on to other regions of the amazon to continue their illegal operations. before we go, a reminder of our top story, tick tock ceos appeared before us congressional committee to answer questions about the apps use of use a data the law makers are considering whether to recommend an outright ban of the app in the us and you're up to date with a d w business from me and the team here in berlin. thank you very much for watching conflicts own with sarah kelly as the fighting rages in russia's war of aggression against ukraine. the international criminal court has issued a warrant for putin's arrest. my guest this week on conflict zone has called the deportation of children, a genocide and the man justice ukrainian, m p and chair of the parliamentary committee on integration of ukraine for the
