2:05 pm
a safe harbor for those who hate. we were not true isn't for this act of violence because we can turn racism because we are an enclave for extremism we were chosen for the very fact that we are none of these things. sri lanka islam is zealots who it's a stretch to call the muslims slaughter hundreds of christians again men women and children prayer time as they celebrate easter revenge they claim for new zealand is going are this will be completely suppressed oakridge an environment of peace and freedom for the people of this country you know. san diego california a madman attacks jews in a synagogue on the last day of passover as

a problem with judaism and its ways claims he was moved to beat it by the massacre in new zealand have no illusions if it can happen in new zealand no where it's really safe. a lot of fear mongering and a lot of like. media soundbites that have created an atmosphere of despise for the other like that particular group out of out there want to take our lives they want to kill us and as a result we have to stand up and defend ourselves there is an environment that literally was already greetings kind of mindset however now they've incorporated the certainly bottom times that they reached out to i say and been inspired by the very same people that they hate the violent acts those so that's the way that i would personally explain the situation it's having
2:07 pm
a knock on effect and they're there inspiring each other which is absolutely crazy but this is why we are where we are hatred breeds hatred it's self-sustaining the thing with killing excusing it is being in the name of god is that it never ends it only gets worse the sri lankan government has banned face coverings in public following the easter sunday suicide attacks which killed more than two hundred fifty people emergency know what is now in effect and strong criticism from the country's sizable muslim community last hour we discussed whether it's a prudent security measure or likely to inflame religious acrimony in sri lanka. it is very much a person in most of their lives who put many muslims yes it is right muslim center and much more liberal compared to their counterparts but absence of the reality of the start and wonder this for that matter but the males are talking about their
2:08 pm
individual rights the rights of women to follow their specific religious obligations and where does it stop. is it not going to move into the decks and. afterwards when it cools down look out marriage and what denmark i'm also this gives a kind of lip service to the extremist goodness in the society who might target the muslims and arabs in the long run in the south atlantic this particular alright we'll have since the whole of the government is going to continue to get elected it was an extremist buddhists that carried out the massacres in sri lanka it was extremists islamicists let's get a couple of things clear here so isn't it absolutely reasonable that sri lankan government takes what ever measures it deems appropriate to secure the lives of sri lankan seven cents who is going to be. compromised by the very act of trying to
2:09 pm
make sure that security services can check the visibility of those people who could potentially be about to carry out a terrorist incident that's the reason for doing this you know and i think it's very sensible and i think it's really peculiar that anybody would oppose the state house the responsibility of looking after the interests of the masses on the basis of that it can take these mages but this should not become a long term because if it does extend beyond a specific period this emergency laws will become becomes a part of the states or part it and that clear division between sri lanka's multireligious religious fabric and let's not forget the muslims have been. the receiving end of the conflict in the civil war was from that side as well as a buddhist majority side so they might feel that they are being pushed out in this new twist and they are being regarded as the new enemies in the society but it
2:10 pm
wasn't and there is a certain degree of islamophobia this was an attack by a radical i did not see this the christians slaughtered them in their hundreds and you're talking about islamophobia c'mon listen if some muslim women in sri lanka feel you know at a disadvantage because of this particular temporary legislation then the people the blame or their coreligionists who carried out it's the atrocity not all muslims are terrorists i absolutely agree with this one but on this occasion all the terrorists were muslims you deal with an. american food and beverage giant pepsi co is facing a backlash after serving four small time protected supplies in india and with the local government now vowing to support the farmers it seems the multinational might face a battle the case marks a low point in a relationship that claims back to the late one nine hundred eighty s. when the first pepsi co potato plant in india was opened a partnership a company has been advertised. feels proud to partner with farmers all
2:11 pm
across india through various agricultural initiatives as they shared their experience of working alongside pepsi co. pepsico claims the four farmers grew a variety of pate potato which the company has exclusive rights over their biggest selling crisps brand allays it says the potatoes were grown without the company's knowledge or permission and was reportedly seeking damages of around six hundred thousand dollars the company however now says it's willing to drop the claim but there are conditions to the offer the u.s. corporation has suggested the farmers become part of a collaborative potato farming program this would mean they buy seeds and then sell the potatoes back at a agreed price if they don't agree the farmers would have to grow other potatoes varieties but the farmers say pepsi co is violating their freedoms and fabricating novels. i don't know why pepsi co claims that it's in the right according to indian
2:12 pm
law nowhere in india or in the world for that matter do you find a law that prohibits farmers from growing potatoes really pepsico get this law from sego has violated our basic freedoms with this lawsuit they see that we have broken their patent rights how can they dictate what we can or cannot grow. every year we buy seeds from within the farming community we never buy them from any specific company and have no agreement with any company came and told us we wanted to do business because they promised us a higher price and then filmed our farm they came as traders and were inquiring about the varieties we grow i told them we weren't sure of the variety but it's just white collar potatoes it's only when we receive the court notice that we realize who those people really work. you're a skeptic and right wing parties are on course for significant gains in next month's european parliament election if the polls proved right but research
2:13 pm
suggests that only a third of europeans are even aware there's a ballot at all let alone how they plan to vote. i europe correspondent peter all of a now reports on the election from the perspective of the blocks of biggest power germany. there's less than a month to go the citizens will elect the next european parliament and while there's expectations of a slight increase in turnout the e.u. pollsters have published that less than five percent of citizens so they knew when they're supposed to vote if you win during it's between may twenty third for the twenty sixth if you break down the euro per day theory into how those surveyed in
2:14 pm
member states of the question do you know when your country will vote in e.u. parliamentary elections well top of the class is multi where seventy three percent of those surveyed got it exactly right staying behind for extra lessons though while it's the netherlands where a paltry twelve percent of those polled knew which dates they should be voting on almost forty percent of germans nailed the e.u. pollsters question however a separate poll taken domestically by hugo found that almost half of people didn't know who any of the nine leading candidates for seats in the european parliament were which isn't great when you think about the important job they do in the impact they can potentially have on everybody in the use life i'm a one out of four people could pick a month for adventure out of the lineup the c.s.u. man is only standing to be the european commission president one of the most
2:15 pm
powerful and important jobs in the whole of the european union in similar territory on twenty six percent we have nicholas of the free democrats doing a little better though we have alternative germany's your might and on thirty five percent of those who were polled being able to pick him out of a lineup and then on thirty nine percent we have the social democratic parties catarina we can only presume that ms bali the current justice minister. recognition due to the fact that she showed willingness to appear on different media outlets to put across their argument europe as external and internal enemies these include all who seek to weaken at the cross the new a good of those polled said that they were definitely going to vote i asked people here on the streets of what they made of the surveys and whether they intended to cast a ballot. will you take part in the european election. yes
2:16 pm
yes i have no clue when it comes to politics do you know when the parliamentary elections will be held but i don't know when exactly it's on the twenty sixth of may i think sometime in the spring or summer zeevi you know who this is no. and the next one. is that they're not really in the spotlight for the most part these are candidates no one's ever heard of three weeks ago until the european citizens will elect the next e.u. parliament or at least they will they remember which date they're supposed to turn up to vote on peace for all of us. one of the contenders for the top job who peter just talked about is causing a stir in political circles a time in germany man a friend of abba has said that if elected as european commission president he'd use his power to block the major north stream to gas project designed to deliver
2:17 pm
russian fuel directly to europe it puts him at all where the official stance on the pipeline. i'm against this project it's not in the interests of the european union because it will increase dependence on russian energy resources as the head of the european commission i will use all available laws to block a new dream to unfriend there has been at the helm of the center right european peoples party since twenty fourteen it's a collective of other parties which hold seats in the new parliament under his tenure he's called for mechanisms to control quote wayward e.u. states who go against official european positions he's also known critic of the ease perceived dependency on russian energy that his latest remarks against military into has come under fire at home in germany. i find it rather strange that manfred weber let us germans know that he is against this project through a polish newspaper and we're talking about our country's interests name to reliable
2:18 pm
and i think we shouldn't play with the future of our country. ever does have a supporter of a north stream to germany's green party has called the project dubious from a geo political point of view not stream to is currently under construction and is designed to deliver gas from northwestern russia to northeastern germany the pipeline supporters say the block in the project would lead to gas shortages and higher prices earlier we talked to a political analyst at the berlin center for caspian region studies who says it's a bit of a stretch to claim europe is hoped on russian gas. these and out of electoral campaign to attract voters and you know there are a lot of countries in eastern europe us and sars europe who are not in favor of not streaming to game the votes of those waters he is you know campaigning against we are not depending on russian gas this is completely do some formation in my opinion because russia has only
2:19 pm
a small share of slightly sort of sort of five percent of the. gas supply so you have so many other suppliers i mean be. a lot of other g. travel notes in europe which are you know only used by thirty percent we have as a key supplier from the dos we have still the netherlands we have also africa from the south so we are not much dependent russia is dependent on the european market. the u.s. is ready to ramp up recent warnings to the u.k. over allowing chinese tech giant weiwei to help build its five g. network cyber security officials in washington and saying they could be forced to withhold intelligence from britain we know that a disruption to services or a disruption to the ability to store access information that that transmits between those routes across the atlantic war pact all of us so it indeed is not just about the sharing of intelligence or the cooperation on information sharing it's about
2:20 pm
all the services that we're providing across the atlantic what we really have here is a loaded gun is something that western democracies who values human rights should think very carefully about if they want to give that to an authoritarian regime with very different values about the use of data. despite concern in washington while way has already conducted child in a number of european countries including france and germany forty commercial contracts were confirmed last month with the chinese firms with seventy thousand to five bases set up and globally now we're joined by earl arise missin the executive vice president of the eurasian center thanks for coming on to the program to discuss this now in your opinion could there be more than just security reasons why do you think the u.s. is so keen to halt any cooperation between wall way on the five g. network. well manure there's there's a lot of reasons and i would i all the security is. the consideration i think the
2:21 pm
main reason is. is technology and competitiveness i mean basically the u.s. is behind on five g. technology while he's leading the area it's growing one of the top networking companies communication companies in the world and just over came apple is the number two cell phone provider it's leading the way substantial and five g. technology which is the next big thing so i see this more as a as kind of. a portion of the trade war or the. trade. trying to influence allies or other countries. not to not to join join while wade and lead at least ahead technology in a five g. area primarily because of the competitive reasons latest technologies it means in china and will is why why do you think the u.s.
2:22 pm
is so i'm only hiding under the security visas that. well it's easy because the special with with european union with the u.k. with australia all of five i think countries intelligence sharing is very very very critical to them and so that's much easier. to hide underneath the security aspects and the six and ten chill security threats even though. nothing has been found in a while with equipment we've got separate testing facilities set up in the u.k. and in europe and there's been no instances of whatsoever but could they be used potentially yes just like cisco equipment in the us could be used. you know could trying to potentially spy or you throw up you know just like it's been shown on fact i'm just watching them just finished watching a movie called snowden which everyone familiar with that the u.s.
2:23 pm
spies on. not just the adversary but allies its own citizens and as we've discovered recently even opposition political candidates so. you know what. the security blanket is much easier to kind of use to manipulate. otherwise you're going to have to throw out sanctions and everything like that and secondary sanctions which which can bounce back at them even more but but that's the that's the initial attack i think is through the security area but i do believe it's primarily focused in the competitive area. look it's going to have a quick listen to an expert in washington and his assessment of the chinese firms involvement in the five g. infrastructure and then we'll come back to this just take a quick listen long way and the chinese government have repeatedly denied us allegations that one way equipment poses a security risk claiming that the u.s. has not offered any concrete evidence what is your strategy in countering those
2:24 pm
claims the way we look at it is there is a combination of intent capabilities and opportunity. and you've talked about intent you know the possibility that any of these providers could could be using and you know for security breaches and the question is it seems to be you know who wants to be the top dog in this plight got to great the same could be set aside for any country couldn't if we look at that plant. absolutely not here absolutely and in fact and you know you you hear about and i think there's a statement my someone saying well it's going to the intent of the capability might happen more easily with. in china or offshore tyrian regime although sometimes i wonder what what kind of what country you would say is authoritarian. but what that can easily happen here i mean look at the number of national classified
2:25 pm
secret national security letters and. the letters that we've sent to communication providers to access millions and millions and millions of files conversations correspondence even voice communications unbeknown to the users on either side i mean afghans will merkel or. our president the former president of brazil the main routes off if they knew. that the phone conversations were being with and then done so. yes any country could write to any country and into consideration but it's not something i think you can you can mitigate and you can put in place precaution . and i do not think. it's a justification to to allow yourself to be controlled and to limit your core mission from potential market development and in profit and benefiting their own
2:26 pm
community with the new emerging technology ok we'll leave it there listen these activities present all of the great talking on the program thing so that you. americans face of diplomacy secretary of state to my pompei it has claimed that alleged russian interference affected the twenty sixteen us presidential election and will continue to be a threat for decades to come. the russians interfered it happened in the run up to the election in two thousand and sixteen that we have that we have the mission now to make sure this doesn't happen in two thousand and twenty there were three after elections ninety seven before. they interfered or elections in the eighty's and we should expect in two thousand and fifteen twenty fifty the russians will be at it still. wasn't the only target for mike pompei as he spoke with janis iran was on the list to terrorism has been facing us strong arm tactics and extended sanctions since washington with two from the twenty fifteen you can't deal last week the trumpet ministration also ended all the temporary i mean you know importance
2:27 pm
including china and turkey and pompei a promised unbearable conditions for anyone looking to continue trade with the middle eastern nation. trust ministration recently announced sanctions and no more waivers ok and turkey and china have said there are going to be undeterred so what now sovereign nations make their own choices individual businesses inside of that will make their own choices what we can do is prepare a sanctions regime that makes it. a costly. case of bullying run amok the u.s. is opposing the tick tock on the rest of the world trumps isolationism means that he is to a great extent at war with the world he is hostile to only to all countries how on earth he wants to use them he wants to put u.s. interests. first and foremost in the narrowest sense of the term the u.s. interferes massively in other countries elections mean venezuela being the the
2:28 pm
latest example but there's there's hardly a time when the u.s. has not been intervening in other country's elections that time is now on the back and about half an hour with our next world update to stay with. us. what is it calling. magic the new type of digital currency the centralized digital scarcity chancellor. of second or bank that's called the genesis blog for reason to calling it civil disobedience a source of optimism because i can control my own financial destiny it's just a new way of coming to consensus it's a game changer in the human history this is columbus discovering
2:29 pm
a new world this paradigm shifting technology that transforms economics and finance in a heartbeat the apollo eleven landing on to the max and stacey. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy. let it be an arms race. spearing dramatic development only really. i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk. i'm after a time to know what you're going underground while we're away we'll be screening
