developing their robots the winner of the 2018 competition with the team from southern china university of technology. all of china some a place of their success. they're also excellent initiatives in germany is one example of this. so called indian expo in hanover around 300000 students come here within a single week it's the largest transfer and in europe. young people are introduced a new tax plan how to program and design new circuits and they seem to numbers. but in contrast to china german media hardly take notice. germany talks too little about its successors we too can keep up with the global i race if we want to but we really have to step on the gas. children are now growing up with smart phones internet and intelligent toys. but what is the danger children women sign testify on the internet get to discuss. following research in boston she's currently working in berlin. the generation after the internet generation generation. they're growing up surrounded by our i like alexa program. you know this device was not designed for children right this device was designed for households so families

these reports, originates from south china university of technology. how much credence do you give the report? >> we have to give those reports a lot of credence. and reason is there is a lot of science that goes both ways about origin of the outbreak. we have to remember that beijing has done its best to prevent foreign community from actually studying this. the world health organization team, that went to wuhan, was there for only part of a day, they allowed just part of a team to go to the source of the outbreak. we have to be concerned that china is hiding something, when china hides something we have to assume the worse options are possible. lou: we have been skeptical, you and i, from the very beginning. the degree to which the intelligence agencies have waited before offering their assessment as the intelligence community did today, given at least reportedly, to the white house last week. that there has been distortion, concealment, deceit when indeed head of world health organization a number of from united states gave great support for the chin

speaking of the chinese government, on february 6th scientists from the south china university of technologyploaded a paper on the origins of coronavirus. where did it come from? this offers some clue. at the time the official death toll in china from coronavirus was 564. the paper made a number of notable observations and claims that are worth knowing about and that's why we are telling you. we want to be clear that we are endorsing any of these conclusions, we have an independent confirm to them, we can't. but these findings come from chinese scientists who work for a university that is controlled by the chinese government. so whatever else they are, what you are hearing is probably not chinese racist propaganda. first the scientist confirmed what scientists around the world have said they believe. the virus most likely came from an animal known as the intermediate horseshoe bat. there are no known colonies of this bat nor are there any evidence that they were sold in the wuhan wet market despite many claims made by the american media. including this one by the way. last night we did a seg

charles lieber got $50 million to develop products he took to china under the thousand talents program and was working with the university of technology in that famous place now called wuhan and was paid generously over the years for selling for pennies on the dollar, technology that american taxpayers had paid tens of millions of dollars to develop. we've got to stop that and i think chinese students in the scholars i know before they leave china are all told if you come across any commercially valuable information in the united states, you should seize it for the motherland and you should bring it back to china or you should work in place and continue taking the technology and transferring it to china. >> laura: we haven't even gotten into the new chinese technology that has been developed during this crisis, that's being used against innocents around the world, people who have done nothing wrong and it's spying in tracking people's every movement. we'll talk about that next time, thanks so much for joining us tonight. here's a question, why do well-heeled companies and institutions get stimulus money that was meant for struggling s

the china university of geosciences in wuhan, that "newsweek" reviewed requirements were updated so that scientists would need to have their study approved by china's ministry of science and technologyore publication. it sounds like china is still hiding something. >> yeah, it's very concerning. any time you see scientists being censored. we want free inquiry into scientific matters. we want the researchers in china to be able to investigate everything about this virus, and i do think that this type of an action where we still don't understand how this emerged, where it emerged, when it emerged, who patient zero might have been is going to add to the mystery and fuel more conspiracy theories that detract from the response. i think it is in china's interest to allow research to freely be done, without permission on this topic >> well, one of the questions is why is there so little of the disease in china? i mean, wuhan is where it apparently broke out, but cities like beijing, which are not that far away, are not severely impacted by all this. meanwhile, italy is thousands of miles away. the united states, thousands of miles away, and we've got tremendous problems. why? >> i think it

of stealing american technology, trying to influence our political system, trying to steal secrets at our research universities and so forth. >> who's the bigger threat to america's election security? russia or china>> in my opinion it's china. and not just to the election process, but i think across the board, there's simply not comparison. jesse: last three years on saysed with russia but how many died from russia hacking campaign and how many american job were lost? china is a much bigger threat. they've stolen our factories and trade secrets, shipped deadly into our beautiful land and now we lost precious time while they covered up virus and said it wasn't contagious this is ten times worse than russia election interference and left is silent on china why? it rather blame the american president. >> tens of thousands of people who will die in the or have some hope have already died more are still going to die because of donald trump incompetence and lack of leadership. >> they'll kill people to stay in power. literally -- >> trump knew this pandemic was coming these additional deaths many of them are unnecessary. they're than competence they're death of science denial and guest of inequality. j

technology, trying to influence our political system, trying to steal secrets in our research universities and so forth. we are focused on it. something called the china initiative, we brought a lot of indictments, something we also have to expose letting the business community exactly the nature of the threat. >> laura: given what you know today of the panoply of abuses internationally against the united states, who is the biggest threat to america's election security. russia or china? >> in my opinion, it is china. not just for the election progress, but i think across the board. simply there is no comparison. china is a very serious threat to the united states geopolitically, economically, militarily, and a threat to the integrity of our institutions given the ability to influence this. >> laura: are premier academic institutions, our top schools across the country have welcomed in chinese students to learn and partake in research. we had documented abuses, ongoing federal investigations now, indictments in boston against harvard university professors for conspire conspiring with the chinese allegedly. any thoughts on the ongoing federal grants, institutions, this is an all-out b

universities have published similar guidelines restricting the publication of research about this deadly disease. now, we've reached out to the ministry of education, the inindustry of science and technology. haven't gotten a response from china we've talked to a number of medical researchers around the world and they say this smacks of censorship and it will restrict sharing information about this deadly pandemic, crucial information from china with the rest of world. it also fits a pattern of the chinese government shutting down doctors and researchers who first tried to sound the alarm about the disease, like the doctor summoned by police and later got coronavirus and died in hospital in february. >> john and alisyn? >> ivan, thank you very much for alerting us to what's going on there. thanks for the reporting. >>> back here, the first batch of stimulus checks have been deposited. what you need to know about what you can expect, next. connected. committed u so you can keep your patients cared for. your customers served. your students inspired. and your employees closer than ever. our network is resilient. our people are strong. our job is to keep your business connected . it's what we've always done. it's what we'll alway
