the us wants us to ban huawei. i see a threat from the communist party in china over the next decades, and that threat could be implemented through huawei gear. but huawei says the us doesn't know what it's talking about. translation: we have a country here that virtually uses no huawei equipment and doesn't even know whether our 56 equipment is square or round. so, tonight on panorama, can we trust huawei? whenever you're out and about, your mobile phone communicates with the rest of the world through these. calls, messages and data are sent from masts like this to hundreds of phones within a few kilometres, and each of those phones send calls and data back again. it's a lot of work for one mast to do, and it kind of explains why, if there are too many phones in any one area, things start to slow down. but it won't always be like this. our next mobile network will be the fifth generation, called 56, and it'll be very different to what's come before. 16 was about the analogue phone, allowing us to make calls to one

will they trust huawei? welcome to bbc news — broadcasting to viewers in north america and around the globe. my name is mike embley. our top stories: with two—thirds of the votes counted in israel's general election, the likud party of prime minister benjamin netanyahu appears to be on course for a narrow win. britain's prime minister meets germany's chancellor to discuss a short delay to brexit. there are signs the eu favours a longer extension — which could mean more trouble for mrs may. still awaiting more details from the mueller report. the us attorney general says he'll let congress and the public see a redacted version ‘within a week'. no pause in the protests in algeria as a new interim president is sworn in.

huawei is been able to do this. this is a strategic realization of an objective of the country of china. their operating costs are subsidized by the government. that allows them to offer a very good product at below market values. our own free markets have allowed them to assume the driver seat because they did offer a very good product more cheaply than we can get alternatively. and now they are in the catbird seat. when we talk about the baby bells, or local telecommunications country in the united states, significant portions of them have huawei infrastructure. when the federal government comes to local municipalities and says, hey, this is a problem. they rightly look back at the federal government and say, well, i cannot afford to rip everything out and replace it. by the way, you let them in there. we have a genuine problem. this is a genuine challenge. chinese companies in general, and huawei in particular are closely aligned with beijing. they are required by law, this is a quote of chinese law, to support,

huawei is not providing that data. at some point the british decided they were going to push very hard on this and there were very, very stern discussions at huawei at the center, which pushed back strongly. when they pushed back, the uk government said, all right, thank you very much for coming. however, having said that, we are in a brexit period. a period when british politicians and the british public are concerned. we're adrift from the continent politically. we know that the lack of the market access is coming. we're drifting towards the indo-pacific, something that i've been working on a little bit to find if that presents us with alternatives in terms of market access. so huawei is very cleverly plugged into this causing more investment up to $2 billion if we go with things the way they were, they insist all the changes uk government wants would require five years panned maybe $5 billion in costs for themselves. where is that money going to come from. so anyway, i'm working on something that will go -- feed int

the story about huawei needs to be seen the story about huawei needs to be seenin the story about huawei needs to be seen ina the story about huawei needs to be seen in a markets context, with european countries the reasons way germany, for example, is not simply going to play along with us administration pressure to block huawei, is not because they don't share concerns about security. they do. every country wants to make sure there is data integrity. the reason they are cautious about it and want to move forward is because they want to move forward is because they want to have that latest technology and affordable cost to increase the speed of that data provision, growth and services economy. if you look at how germany is managing it, it is quite progressive. they are saying huawei will have to share their source code in cyber security labs in germany. it would be a good role model for other countries and helped to push back sufficiently on huawei that we can solve this issue around whether or not enough evidence has been provided by the issues. huawei has been providing technology to

huawei equipment is good. it has vulnerabilities but huawei is known for being attentive to come -- to customers. good customer service, good equipment at a huge discount, why wouldn't you do it? there is disagreement over how to reduce that risk. i don't think you will see many more countries adopting a complete ban. that you will see some kind of partial ban and some sort of exclusion of huawei equipment. >> the light has has yet to produce its own executive order that would affect huawei. you have written it is past time for that. what is the delayed to you think? >> those people say that -- i don't know if this is true, but it is plausible -- that people are waiting for the trade deal to be finished. that make sense. we know the chinese have raised aspects of the huawei problem in the trade talks. putting on an executive order, an effect of slowing down or damaging the trade agreement. i think the general theory is that, get the trade deal out of the way, then think about what to do with huawei. >i is a pr

and china continue over trade, how much is huawei going to say president trump has said huawei could be part of a deal but it's unclear that will make it into the final deal. >> we appreciate those thoughts. thank you so much for the update on huawei. when we come back, two terrible accidents in one month, both involving dangerous chemicals, both in the state of texas and both may have something in common the stake of the large scale disasters, why they're rising. >>> taking out the trash on this merger to the tune of $2.9 million. changes to your next delta airlines flights that might make your trip a little more uncomfortable. more after this. what's a target date fund? what's a hedge fund? a mutual fund? an index fund? what should i ask my investment professional? how do i know if they're even legit? edgar? who's edgar? how do i read a 10-k? what about fees? what's an etf? 529 plan? 401(k)? how do we plan for retirement? where do i start? empower yourself with the free tools and resources on investor.gov. before you invest, investor.gov. so, every day, we put our latest technology

huawei isa much everywhere in the world. huawei is a totemic issue because it is identified with china in a way that for example the united states is trying to get its allies not to take pa rt trying to get its allies not to take part in an asian investment bank. they are not as caught as national security interests as huawei is. this attempt to distance itself from the chinese government by having a chinese minister saying everything is fine is bizarre. i wonder how this story plays out. i was in glasgow this week for the gchq summit where we had a slight softening in the us position on how much they will stomach the uk involving huawei in 56. ithink much they will stomach the uk involving huawei in 56. i think may be an accommodation that is arrived at. an interesting insight. where shall we go to next? the sunday times. i want you to tell me more about this. cash for lords, crackdown in, quote, new cold war. a lot on that headline. this is essentially the fact that peers must reveal a ny essentially the fact that peers mu

and more on huawei. china‘s huawei says it welcomes reports that britain would allow limited use of its equipment in new 5g networks. a security source said britain will allow the chinese company some restricted access to non—core parts of the 5g network, but ban it from installing equipment in so—called core parts of the system. more on that shortly. and how about this for a job vacancy? the government has advertised a job to replace mark carney as governor of the bank of england. he steps down from the £a80,000 a year post, at the start of next year. for the first time the government has hired a recruitment firm to help with the search. send your entries in if you want thatjob. sales at fast fashion chain primark were down 1.5% like for like but a much higher profit margin meant that profit was up 25% compared to the same time last year. primark is not the only retailer reporting strong profit. online chain boohoo.com reported a 53% increase in gross profit in their full year results. i spoke wi

that is the allegation from the united states which huawei has consistently denied. in an interview with me a couple of months ago the firm's founder was categorical when he said that they would never do anything to hurt their customers and these sorts of results, i think, underline the fact that huawei is a company that is still very widely used, at least in this part of the world. don't forget, their smart phone business is also doing quite well. i was going to say. in terms of how much they are relying on for future growth, either relying on infrastructure or smart phones? they've been quite clear that this isa they've been quite clear that this is a two pronged strategy. they've been very successful with the smart phone business, originally the accusation was that huawei copies of phones from other more successful firms and tells them up half the price. i don't think you can naturally say that today. a lot of a nalysts naturally say that today. a lot of analysts have said to me if you look at the kinds of phones that huawei is releasing on the market, they are ex

using huawei. they're still not asking for them to be banned. why? joshua: this is an interesting part about the politics of huawei. vodafone knew about this and continues to work with huawei, is not pushing for huawei to be banned. the fact is that while way provides product -- huawei provides products at a cheaper price point. even if you don't want to buy from huawei, to have huawei bidding on projects allows you to get a super price from the other company. the carriers are really kind of -- they're torn about how they feel about huawei. caroline: when they have to build out the 5g infrastructure, it could be very difficult. great to get your expertise on this story. joshua, thank you. alphabet has tumbled the most in seven years in its share price after first quarter revenue missed analyst estimates. fears that advertisers are shifting some spending away from google. what a move in the share price. >> the most since 2012, a pretty significant drop. it's been clear google is up still this year,

and germany to ban huawei. mobile networks known as 5g. his daughter was arrested in canada in december at the request of the u.s. government so huawei has found itself dragged in almost against its will to the u.s./china trade war. i asked him if he thought huawei was a pawn this was his response. >> translator: if the u.s. thinks we can be used as a pawn, i'd say they probably have the wrong person we cannot help resolve the china/u.s. roots because we don't sell in the u.s. >> reporter: even though he doesn't feel like huawei can be an answer, they think that huawei could be parter of a u.s./china deal. what's clear is technology it's about 5g, about all of these critical pieces of infrastructure that are going to determine our future technologies over the next ten years. we know the u.s. is very concerned about the power china may wield. mr. wren wasn't taking any of it sitting down he said the u.s. has been great for the company gaining business the reason the u.s. is hitting huawei so much, it's because t

but should this future be made in china, and by this company, huawei? washington has been arguing that the risk of china spying on or switching off 5g through the company is too great, and today, a top us diplomat told me there would be consequences to using huawei. if countries put unsecured, untrusted vendors into their 5g networks, in any place, we're letting countries know that we're going to have to consider the risk that that produces to our information—sharing arrangements with them. it was here last week that the uk's national security council met to decide what to do about 5g. details of those discussions promptly leaked, leading to an ongoing inquiry. but it reportedly decided that the risks of using huawei could be managed. that is a view washington won't be happy about. the chancellor has been in china in the last few days to encourage trade, and deciding whether to give huawei a role involves balancing the economic benefits with the national security risks, as well as the potential of falling out with washington or beijing. i think the br

and that huawei story isjust not going to go brings us to huawei. and that huawei story is just not going to go away. it is talking about notjust story is just not going to go away. it is talking about not just the leak but what the position will be. i think leak but what the position will be. ithink ben leak but what the position will be. i think ben wallace, the security minister, he says that action is needed to change these parliamentary rules. what i think is somebody reporting on united kingdom around the world, and living in this country, i think it's very interesting that he talks about the uk media being extremely vibrant, strong, holding the government, companies and society to the mainstream media, very strong, holding them to account. he says this is extraordinary that in politics this is not cleaned up. it is also interesting is he particularly think about salisbury and the nova choc attack and the attempted murder of a former russian spy' attempted murder of a former russian spy, sergei skripal and attempted murder of a former russian

dealing with huawei is about more than one company. it's about how western countries deal with the rise of china and the spread of its technology, and the uk's decision is one that will be closely watched at home and abroad. the conservative mp johnny mercer has denied doing anything wrong in accepting a private salary from a company linked to the firm that marketed a failed investment scheme. mr mercer receives £85,000 a year from crucial academy on top of his parliamentary salary. it trains military veterans and has been funded by surge financial limited which marketed a bond scheme that lost investors more than 230 million pounds. the committee which represents backbench conservative mps has decided not to change rules which require a 12—month delay between confidence votes in the party leader. it means theresa may cannot be challenged until december. but the group has demanded the prime minister set out a clear timetable for her departure if her brexit deal is rejected. scotland's first minister nicola sturgeon wants to hold a s

it is possible that this includes huawei. is the secretary of state aware as to whether there are allegations specifically involving huawei? and if so, should we be doing business with a company that engages and that sort of activity? of course, as the right honourable gentleman says, the concerns that we have about huawei are at least in part due to the potential interlocking nature of what they do and what the chinese state does. that is at the heart of our concern. it is very important that while this might possibly become the subject of a criminal investigation, that we all — both within and outside the house — choose our words very carefully when talking about what clearly happened yesterday. my right honourable friend speaks with the experience on this, we cannot — we cannot exclude the possibility of a criminal investigation here. and everybody will want to take seriously that suggestion. when the foreign affairs select committee was in beijing recently, everything everyone we spoke to made it absolutely clear th

so what were the options have been for the uk if not huawei? there are various companies around the world, some european, some from other parts of the globe, which do make kit for 5g networks, but the telecoms companies say 5g has some of the most advanced technology, and when the national cyber security centre did look at the security of huawei kit, they didn't give it a clean bill of health, they didn't say everything was fine, but they did say that there were ways of limiting the risks posed by the technology. rob, thank you very much for that. we will be talking to the chair of the government's foreign affairs committee later on. we are just going to take you live to vladivostok. the russian port city. where in the last few moments, the north korean leader, kimjohn hunt, has arrived on his armoured train for his first visit to russia and for his first visit to russia and for his first meeting with the russian president vladimir putin. there he is, kimjong—un getting off the train in the last few moments. the two team say they plan to disc

vodafone said to have found huawei security flaws from 2009. vodafone and huawei, as we said many times, say the vulnerabilities were resolved. the story is that we learn those vulnerabilites existed beyond 2012, and what happened after that remains less clear. that is the story this morning. let's get stocks to watch from around the newsroom. bp.a, let's get to you on maria: bp in line with expectations, net income at $2.36 billion, very much what the street expected. cash flow, a key metric, look at that in the context of the bhp acquisition. jumping about 600 million dollars. ceo bob dudley said his strategy has paid off. we will hear more from him when we speak to him later on bloomberg tv. matt: let's get to joe easton on airbus. what is the story? first-quarter quarter earnings were slightly better than analyst expectations, driven by the a-320, the competitor to the 737 max from boeing, which we know was grounded. however, airbus cautioned they aren't likely to see a huge sales, given that these orders are made a few years in advance and

germany said it will not exclude huawei from its network. italy also said they can participate in their 5g. huawei is trying very difficult to convince governments in these market that it's still responsible and so far it's been successful in several markets but several markets have also block it had out. huawei is really turning its attention to the markets that are welcoming. it's taken the offensive to the u.s. earlier this year. it filed a lawsuit against the u.s. government claiming that bane on its products is unconstitutional. so it has come out over the past few months on the front foot, the ceo here at huawei actually came out swinging in this interview. he said the u.s. is scared of huawei and actually all the criticism it's received from the u.s. has been a great advertisement for the company. they're not taking this battle with the u.s. sitting down. >> yeah, the intricacies are certainly in focus. thank you for joining us from shenzhen. >>> european markets set to close shortly. sima modi joins us now with the breakdown. >> hey,

and by this company, huawei? washington has been arguing that the risk of china spying on or switching off 5g through the company is too great. and today a top us diplomat told me there would be consequences to using huawei. if countries put unsecured, un—trusted vendors into their 5g networks in any place, we are letting countries know that we're going to have to consider the risk that produces to our information sharing arrangements with them. it was here last week that the uk's national security council met to decide what to do about 5g. details of those discussions promptly leaked, leading to an ongoing inquiry. but it reportedly decided that the risks of using huawei could be managed. that's a view washington won't be happy about. the chancellor has been in china in the last few days to encourage trade, and deciding whether to give huawei a role involves balancing the economic benefits with the national security risks, as well as the potential of falling out with washington or beijing. i think the british

dealing with huawei is about more than one company. it is about how western countries deal with the rise of china and the spread of its technology, and the uk's decision is one that will be closely watched at home and abroad. gordon corera, bbc news. our china correspondent john sudworth is in beijing. john, how has this news gone down with the company, and does it change in any way the debate around this company and the chinese government? huawei is treating this as a victory but in reality it's only a partial one. as you heard in gordon's report, the company could provide some equipment but we would be locked out of the uk's core 5g infra structure, and that's because huawei has a fundamental problem. it doesn't matter how often it says its independent of the chinese government, proving it is quite another matter. this is a country, a society, in which the communist party exercises almost total control over the courts and wields huge influence over company boa rd rooms. in the end, though, this may have been a decisionjust in the end

the uk has approved huawei to providing components for its new 56 network. huawei is vast chinese tech firm — and the us has such concerns about its connections to the chinese government, its urged all countries not to work with it. but the uk is going ahead. this article in the telegraph says theresa may has agreed huawei having access to what's called ‘non—core‘, or periphary equipment. before we go any further, here's an explanation of 56 and what non—core means. next up is 56. now what we want from 56 is to be able to allow objects around us, you may have heard of the internet of things, to talk to each other. we want to do things like control cars remotely or have them driverless. we might want to do robotic surgery remotely and for that we need lower latency and that basically means everything happens much, much more quickly. one of the reasons that happens much more quickly is because the antenna and to a degree some of the computing power, will be much closer to where we are. at the moment, ag marks can stick one up and it does ten miles in

would you have huawei building part of your 56 network? it is really a decision for each country to make. in terms of the amount of risk they are willing to accept. it sounds as though the uk government has come down with a kind of mixed decision, so they clearly have some concerns about the security risk that having huawei participate in their network presents, and they think they can mitigate the risk of having huawei participate in the non—core aspects of their infrastructure. 0k, i've got the message, thanks forjoining us. suzanne spalding, former undersecretary for cyber and infrastructure in the united states, thank you for your time. thank you. we will pause and take a look at the weather. thank you. some places saw someone sunshine to labour on the whole it was called up with more cloud, wet weather and thunderstorms. this has moved away from south—west england, heading across wales, arriving in the south—east but ahead of that, we have had sundry downpours moving from the midlands but continuing in the next hours in northern

campaign to stop huawei is not working. >> no, it's not. i will tell you, here's the scary part about this. huawei is reaching a critical point to where they will have so much penetration in the market, lou it's a geeky thing. you should understand when you get that much markets chair you get to set the standards. when you set the standards everybody has to build the equipment to the way you built it. it means they will get their features and they are the way they want to do stuff. my biggest concern is that they put this infrastructure out there, they will surround us. we'll have this data flowing over the equipment made by china, set by standards set by chinese and we will just have to live with it. a lot of people are taking the long view and taking the security issues. they are looking at price and huawei is getting big discounts and subsidies from china to be this competitive. lou: is the number of people say, huawei is the people's liberation army. no question about it. meanwhile, i was talking with the head of the fcc, he is very exc

huawei, the chinese telecoms giant, welcomes

china is an enemy of the united states huawei is an arm of the chinese government it is attempting to create a monopoly of the 5g networks to allow them to control all telecom with western europe and the united states talking about cybersecurity it is out the window if huawei builds the 5g network now you have a obama national security official in charge of cybersecurity going to work for huawei the equivalent of the cia director or nsa director leaving government service. and going to work for them. working with a foreign power that is an enemy of the united states. >> what shocks me is the continued apathy and a refusal to identify that china with disregard and with that lobbying the legalized bribery that is three.5 billion-dollar industry and the telecom industry is the fourth largest and of those top lobbyist but saudi arabia in terms of the fiscal influence so we can all continue to understand this power and last point don't forget a federal grand jury indicted huawei on ten counts including theft of trade secrets. this is outrageous. steve: coming up one republican governor has

dealing with huawei is about more than one company. it's about how western countries deal with the rise of china and the spread of its technology, and the uk's decision is one that will be closely watched at home and abroad. gordon corera, bbc news. and joining me now is the director of the alliance for securing democracy, laura rosenberger who formerly served on the national security council. thank you for coming in. first of all, is the uk government right when it says it is going to ask huawei to work on some of this but it is going to limit its involvement in the process. is that a satisfactory security response? i do not believe it is satisfactory. i am not a technical expert myself but i have done a lot of studying with technical experts and a lot of conversation with security experts as well. the challenge is that the way technology is constructed, there is real questions. one is about how you can contain certain things to parts of a network and also, it is really important to note that 5g is going to enable an enormous amount o

and more on huawei. china's huawei says it welcomes reports that britain would allow limited use of its equipment in new 5g networks. a security source said britain will allow the chinese company some restricted access to non—core parts of the 5g network, but ban it from installing equipment in so—called core parts of the system. and how about this for a job vacancy. the government has advertised a job to replace mark carney as governor of the bank of england. he steps down from the £480 , 000—a—year post, at the start of next year. for the first time the government has hired a recruitment firm to help with the search. let's talk about boeing because what are they telling us about how much they are in trouble following the much—publicised problems after two crashes? there were a lot of attention on these results for that reason but boeing has said it still does not know the full extent that the crisis over those 737 max 8 models will have on its profits. you might remember in march a max 8 pla

and those countries like australia, for example, ruled out huawei with its sg, example, ruled out huawei with its 5g, have felt the brunt of it with the chinese government, the same can be said for, look at the canadian a nalysts be said for, look at the canadian analysts who‘d been put injail, essentially, as retribution for a huawei executive being picked up in canada, facing extradition to the united states. anything to do with huawei can actually, well, it can hurt relations with china because of the closeness between this tech giantand the closeness between this tech giant and the chinese communist party but critics would say that‘s not a reason to necessarily trust huawei when there are questions in terms of its capacity to build in back listing devices and have you. when it‘s running out 5g networks all around the world. stephen, thank you. assaults are still increasing in half of the ten prisons which are being given extra support to address high levels of violence. there were over 34—thousand assaults last year — that‘s up sixteen percent on the year before. the pris

., talk about huawei, talk about 5g. how revenue has increased. many people begin to notice huawei. continuously repeated by the u.s. vice president, president, secretary of state. what they are talking about, cybersecurity. they notice that this phone is so nice, there are a lot of nice features. i think credit was built -- a reputation has been built in the past tens of years, a political allegation can damage. for now, we are still confident in our future business development. emily: that was huawei's chief representative to the european union, abraham liu. coming, tesla output for the next 12 months. what this could mean for the company and his relationship with u.s. regulators. later, there are now 486 electric vehicle manufacturers registered in china, more than triple from a year ago. in e learning about demand the region next. is this bloomberg. ♪ this is bloomberg. emily: this is "bloomberg technology." i'm emily chang in san francisco. well, elon musk has already been warned about his twitter use, but that has not stopped him so far. he tweeted another production forecas

there is reputation damage to huawei. side, it is a big advertisement for huawei as well. months, huawei business revenue has increased by 30%. our callings whenever expect this. at the beginning of the year, our annual budget has only increased 20%. , due toirst two months the huge advertisement by the u.s., we are seeing huawei talk about 5g. our revenue has increased. many people begin to notice huawei. -- presidentnies or secretary of state. what is that they are talking about? they are talking about cybersecurity. and then they check with labor -- they notice there are nice features and people share to each other. they credit it to what is built by reputation. reputation has been built in the past years. political allegation can damage for a while, but i think we are still confident for our future business development. huawei's chief representative to the eu speaking to maria tadeo of bloomberg. vonnie: time for our stock of the hour. a stock in france up 1.5%. the company is pushing further into digital marketing by buying escalon, a unit of allianz data systems. the

kingdom to comply with the ban on huawei how much will it cost the united kingdom to whip out huawei from its extending to make existing sg from its extending to make existing 3g network. it would take years it would delay the united kingdom being able to build a 5g network for the country. but the intelligence sharing relationship is a legacy from the second world war, the closest intelligence sharing system that we have with one of its most important allies. as impaired taking a very important thing to give up. sharing intelligence the uk over the some of the united states seems to be taking us to the wire, the fact that these telecom operators are having this briefing and he keeps upping, the almost doubled down their rhetoric. every time. this is going to put a huge amount of pressure on theresa may and the prime minister and her government to justify the decisions they keep huawei in the network of that is the dealer they want to do. let's remind you of our main stories, what is going on in venezuela, there is a lot that is unclear at the situation because we have seen people ou

so farasl huawei is behaving themselves. so faras i am huawei is behaving themselves. so far as i am aware, they haven't found any obvious examples of abuse. that opens up the question which some argue, including some of the intelligence agencies, we can manage the problem but others say the risk is too great and we must not do that. in a sentence, given your examination of this issue, where it is yourjudgment like in terms of whether or not this proposed idea would be a good one are not?m whether or not this proposed idea would be a good one are not? if i was 011 would be a good one are not? if i was on the national security council i would actually look to the intelligence agencies, particularly gchq, to intelligence agencies, particularly gcho, to give me the technical advice which only they can guess as to how confident they are they could manage huawei's involvement, that huawei, even if it was instructed by the chinese government, couldn't carry out abuse without being found out. the last thing he where we want to do is found to have been abusing their position,

reports that relations have soured around the huawei situation. earlier, we found out about the importance of this meeting. earlier, we found out about the importance of this meetinglj earlier, we found out about the importance of this meeting. i think it isa importance of this meeting. i think it is a significant meeting for the prime minister. it's the first time a new zealand prime minister has been to china in three years. it comes at a time when there is a number of issues in the relationship. i don't think it's on the rocks or anything like that but it's certainly a good time to go and get some face time and open up the largest embassy that new zealand will have overseas. two major issues that will be discussed and are at the top of the agenda. we have free trade discussions and of course huawei's five g technology. let's tackle the free trade agreement. what will happen here? the free—trade agreement has been successful for new zealand's relationship with china. it is from 2008 so some of it is out of date. the agenda will be keeping the

there is a huge debate and discussion about huawei, what it provides, what it doesn't provide, whether it's an agent of the chinese authorities or not, whether it is an independent international operator. us and the australia —— and australia have imposed bans on huawei equipment and when it came to light through leaks in the papers last week, meetings in cabinet and private meetings amongst senior officials in government in the uk about working with huawei, it was a huge furore. how bizarre is that? leaks already coming out, it's too underlined the insecurity in using such a firm. in the us, — in the uk and the us we are automatically sharing intelligence, this is a big deal because we have got the us — china trade talks which are going on, that's got a lot to deal with the use of technology firms and use of technology information and intelligence. so, you know, it's a hot topic right now. it is a hot topic and we will keep an eye on whether the us will follow through on those threats and what the relationship with huawei may be in the future, because that is not clear right n
