technology to any prospective western buyer firms or indeed nations could then configure it on prevent any possibility of a security breach the news comes amid continued claims by washington that while way works in cahoots with the chinese government it's a quip meant could be used to spy on users on the hawkin's takes a closer look at the company's offer. it's one of this year's biggest spy scandals hallway the chinese telecoms giant accused of using cutting edge 5 to technology not for the good of humanity but for spying for beijing the united states has also been very clear with our security partners on the threat posed by way as chinese law requires them to provide beijing's vast security apparatus with access to any data that touches their network for equipment so grave was the threat so real apparently the risk that american citizens privacy could be in danger the president

trump declared a national emergency then like wildfire concerns spread around the world courtesy of u.s. officials that any country cooperating with huawei on building phone or computer networks would jeopardize their security so how real is this danger not at all who always c.e.o. shore's us but he would say that right well here's the deal the company has come up with an unexpected offer to reassure its western clients when we transfer the tac they can modify codes on top of my tech once that's through it's not only shielded from me it's shielded from everybody else in the world u.s. 5 g. will be their own thing there's no security concern the concern will only be the us keeping the american companies who bought it in check so what does it all mean well who are we would sell its blueprints codes peyton's everything needed for the client to rewrite the code and thus prevent anyone being able to get back to iraq

cess keyword anyone once you open the source code you can actually make changes to it that are actually going to give you the teacher and make sure that even if there were that tools it would be very difficult and they wanted to persist with what was the absolute there is that they exist and i think we're going to see that it's continuing to catch up with all the abilities that when people continually seeking . to take it want. but if they don't open source code well it's. going to be that the hackers are going to get a massive disadvantage to them about so if that's not enough always chairman even offered to sign a no surveillance pact with the countries in which the company operates no spying no back doors so with this unprecedented offer of compromise from the telecoms giant while the panic and harsh rhetoric well remember when we said anyone spying what access the source codes will hamper beijing spying it will be an equal blow for other countries as well the united states for example who are really who are

going to blow it all and whoever's take it all to their license who are the source . you need to be able to trust the organization and there are any number of man of the actual result there or it working at this moment in time all of them have had vulnerabilities in the glass that existed and they've been patched to different elements many of them still have got rebuilt is out there that they haven't touched yet and possibly haven't been discovered but the question is are they actively government entities that have engineered that goes into this equipment will remember all those times washington got caught in the act by whistleblower edward snowden revealed years of interceptions by the national security agency of servers routers and other network equipment made by cisco things were so out of control the company's management even went to the u.s. president to complain we simply cannot operate this way our customers trust us to

be able to deliver to their doorsteps products that meet the highest standards of integrity and security so who always seems to have made an offer that's hard to refuse no spine full control for the companies involved and seemingly no more security concerns the ball is now firmly in the critics court. moving on what started as a peaceful picnic protests in the french city of nods quick. he switched to chaos this may with yellow face protesters turning violent and smushing shop windows police used tear gas to disperse the crowds. i. i. i run 100 people joined in the. presence of money from this government against what they describe as living standards the yellow face movement all started back in november last year against

a hike in fuel tax but has since become much broader against the french establishment it is the 44th consecutive weekend of protests in treaty. demonstrations have also been taking place in the french capital just outside of the police the orderly international airport that's over the possible privatizing of 2 or ports and parts unofficial online referendum could yet block the sale of fairly short of the cool with opposition lawmakers needing 4700000 signatures to prevent the deals going through. reported around 700 people have signed their support to its petition. ok the british army is mulling replacing its fossil fuel guzzling equipment with eco friendly versions according to the company's chief of general stuff polly boyd who explains there is a wider trend western armies trying to attract minority and green conscious new

recruits to. they might be in the business of killing but they don't want to kill the environment while they're at it the british army is going green general so mark colton smith has said that british forces are going to be phasing out the use of thirsty gas guzzling military vehicles and equipment in favor of plugging in take cleaner technologies it's all in a bid to attract younger and more environmentally conscious recruits not only will that give his considerable operational benefits reducing logistic drag but it will also get the army on the right side of the environmental argument especially in the eyes of our next generation of recruits who increasingly make career decisions based on a prospective employers environmental credentials. earlier this year the british army launched a new recruitment drive targeted at young people the campaign emphasise that the

army could use the compassion of snowflakes the self belief of millennial zz the confidence of selfie take is and the focus of phone zombies and the push for a greener and more inclusive army isn't limited to the u.k. if us democratic party presidential candidate elizabeth warren gets her way the american army will be adding fighting climate change to its to do list we don't have to choose between a green military and then a fact a one my plan prove all servicemembers readiness and safety and the chief cost savings for american taxpayers together we can fight climate change and doing military exercises are notoriously bad for the environment munitions can take hundreds of years to degrade and toxic materials like lead can spill out and

pollute groundwater back in 2017 the u.s. government put out a request for the development of environmentally friendly training bullets both the u.s. and u.k. militaries seem determined to put the eco into warrior and recruit some of them at the same time that's great brilliant good for them i don't know if that's necessarily a thing that's going to attract young people necessarily i think they i don't know maybe where we were some people. sure would be better for some people. i've never thought about. but i did say that i like that i think to be a need for seems to be door but. what do. i know well going green is a good idea. young people at the end of it do you want to be put in

a foreign mine and get killed you know it doesn't matter what you drink. where eco friendly. that but neither. kind of speak to me and period sounds like a good idea about whether it would be really. really. who's going to go. and that's what we need is. not very difficult. korea has filed a complaint with the international olympic committee over japan's plug to use a military flowing during next year's games in tokyo so. the rising sun emblem is no better than the nazi swastika represents japanese colonial rule and he's associated with it took it was top official in charge of the 2020 olympics sees no

problem with flying the imperial colors it takes a look now at the long running feud between south korea and japan. this flag is the thing setting apart south korea and japan for almost the whole past decade you might not see anything wrong with it but for more than a 1000000000 korean and chinese people it's no different to a swastika during the 2nd world war the japanese empire made this image of the banner for atrocities which rival the darkest crimes of adult hitler. the row over the flag largely dates back to 2011 when the nation's football teams

met on the pitch to witness the image being literally waved in their faces and since then so has repeatedly asked tokyo to abandon the symbol the latest being their request for the 2020 olympics which japan rubbished the flag itself is not considered to be a political statement so it is not viewed as a prohibited item so now so has reached out to the international olympic committee directly we emphasized that the use of the rising sun flag during the tokyo lympics would be a direct violation of the olympic spirit promoting world peace and love for humanity and that the international olympic committee should have the tokyo organizing committee prepare strict measures to prevent it from being brought to stadiums just last week tokyo snubbed an international fleet review in south korea over the demands to abandon any hoisting of the controversial image symbols of nazi germany have been outlawed and to this day on solemn occasions berlin speaks of its

continued repent at the same time the japanese flag over. old korean and chinese rooms repeatedly according to a lesser by south korea. and plenty of south koreans agree with the official line one of the reason for doing olympics is he's so if you or anyone of his use of the news the pledge. to save or whatever doesn't like it i think it's a faith on the want to rebuild the relationship because they

deny or they cast i suppose. governments opinion by so for. that. you know little big or other or. inferior out there to feel heard. the only one to. restate their policy they should all pull the sincerely to not only koreans but. the countries. which they affect or come close i think 1st of all people have to know about the history and that the abbott government have made their forwards. and maybe we can. get better relations.

to hong kong where pro and anti government protests have erupted in the city state for yet. other weekend the 15th in a row scuffles have broken out between the opposing sides of a shopping center in the city let's take a look. i was. here we believe police are still at the scene dealing with the incident the initial demonstrations were sparked by an extradition bill put forward earlier in the year but quickly grew into a wider pro-democracy movement while it was announced that the bill will be withdrawn protesters still wait for their other demands to be met but includes the investigation into alleged police brutality during rallies on the release of those arrested. now the protests began after the end of march since then activists have been blocking key sites every weekend they have targeted the port subway station

shopping centers and also major roads local as well as foreigners are no avoiding those areas in fact on an additional note the unrest has severely hit hong kong's tourist trade there's been a 40 percent drop in visitors in august compared to the same month. last year. over the past few months the local social unrest particularly the continued vandalism and disruption to the airports and roads has damaged hong kong's image as a safe city the tourism retail and hotel sectors are suffering the most. yet the finance minister we just heard from also noted that hotel occupancy rates dropped to about hough in some places indeed some of the city's busiest districts are not. much another but hong kong indeed this is a split screen of currently on the left what's happening and then on the right

previous years it was bustling was very very busy in hong kong local business owners say they have been hit hard by they don't rest. but it's a night this industry has indeed been he has all of us minds only medium sized travel agency but it still has quite a few 2 groups to handle. the most important thing is that this is no will so we don't want these rights to destroy our society we hope things are resolved as soon as possible and then we can work to try and win back the confidence of tourists to visit. my drivers have made no money for 3 consecutive months and i hope things can be settled as soon as possible so peace can be restored to hong kong then our tourism industry can get back to normal we should promote hong kong and get it back to what it was before so that people feel hong kong is the safest city and the best this nation for tourism. so what's the kobold the program including figures for us water security bubble to the surface after double trouble drops regulations where

i'd like goals near water sources we break that story after the break. what politicians do something to. put themselves on the line they get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president. for something i want to be. actually going to be cross it's like a reasonable people. i'm interested always in the waters about how. things should be. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy confrontation let it be an arms race

based on scary dramatic developing only i'm going to resist i don't see it out. that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk. 20 minutes into the program welcome buck the trumpet ministration has announced the repeal of the clean water rule regulations that control the use of chemicals near water sources the idea is to ease the bureaucratic burden and firms but it's also brought to the surface fears that u.s. water security could become promoted just like most of us donald trump enjoys the

occasional refreshing glass of clean water. but he doesn't seem as keen to keep the water clean as his predecessor trump has recently lifted obama era restrictions and regulations on the spraying of chemicals and pesticides near streams wetlands and other bodies of water in new wood is a definition that provides hardworking americans the regulatory certainty they need to invest and develop and build new projects that improve lives in the environment so what has changed well during the obama era if you wanted to use certain chemical pesticides and sprays in your body of water you need a permit now you don't there's certainly going to be a lot of rejoicing about this from certain sectors many american farmers and manufacturers felt that they were being crushed by the obama era regulations

intended to curb water pollution it would be great if farmers didn't have to hire an army of consultants and lawyers just to be able to farm now the new. rules are being criticized as overly vague with the decision about what bodies of water get protected being decided on a case by case basis now the farmers are overjoyed but that feeling is not being shared by people and communities that depend on streams and rivers. even with unsafe. and it's very important to us that now it's not the time to cut back on clean water protections now the american farmers haven't been too keen on donald trump lately due to his trade war with china so perhaps rolling back these clean water regulations will help whenever some point with the agricultural sector regardless environmentalist are up in arms but as many gamblers have said before you can't all. art see new york all right let's get a quick run through know of some of these other headline news or run the world starting in saudi arabia where there are huge fires at 2 major state run oil

facilities hutu rebels in neighboring yemen save a deployed nearly a dozen drones to attack besides the saudi interior ministry house and specified whether there are any casualties seeing an investigation is ongoing the saudi led coalition intervened in yemen in 2015 to fight the rebels who had seized power in the country. they were also 1st floating nuclear power station has arrived in far eastern russia will supply electricity to 50000 people and businesses in a remote area in the siberian region replacing a lot on base reactor and coal powered generator named after the 18th century russian scientists maciel. longer than 4 football pitches to nuclear reactors on board. pakistan's prime minister has branded his indian counterpart cowardly and run council speaking on

a must row you against india's recent decision to change the status of the speech to kashmir region more in the pakistan would have to receive. into any hostility coming from india and sees who will raise the kashmir prices at the un general assembly later this hour india insists it has full sovereignty over kashmir and the right to them in the regions constitution. chef and 3rd activist and calendar is creating a stir over alleged racism in western table manners that offer little girl was told she was not allowed to eat rice with her holes in a school cafeteria suggesting that a child who eats with their hands has no manners is an echo of european colonial powers looking to tame the wildness out of the people they controlled these european table manners were imposed on conquered people in an attempt to civilize them the idea of a single standard of acceptable table manners is just one of

a host of strategies used to grow and promote racism or thoughts have been hard to digest in some quarters though the article by just was published in a canadian purging legacy she argues that table mothers should be updated to be more diverse including in schools but it's left a sour taste with many. another nail in the caffein of the word racism having any meaning left whatsoever shame of colonisation food activist stick a fork in it's we're done no wait not a fork that's racist culture isn't a race when will people learn the difference between culture and race. you know we all have different cultural norms and certainly if when you come from a certain from a certain country there are variations of customs depend on where you live children they learn their customs and culture a city in that their own table so when they travel someplace else especially young

children they are not going to know now as adults we do our homework and if we are conducting business in another country we certainly want to learn customs and we all have basic rules of conduct at the table when you visit another country you always want to do your homework in advance much like the way that we drive much like the way that we tip in different society in different cultures because it all varies if someone comes to another country and they have a different a different mannerism or a different custom we don't want to berate them for using their customs we as as guests at a table always want to be accommodating to fellow guests and we want to treat everyone with respect and i think that's what it boils down to is being respectful of another person. delving into the murky spirit of corrupt global arms deals or documentary shadow world that's the extraordinary product this is made of

cullman place. we was a cattle republic because we think it would be fair to our people and we want to contribute to the welfare of europe into the european values of democracy of equality of dialogue of peace and we think that we are ready to contribute. to this new europe but this part of the euro mean the european community and constituency of the big deal what's the problem why can't we accept that possibility in the 21st century.
