you are up—to—date with the headlines. it is now 3:30 am. now it's time for panorama. huawei — it's the chinese tech giant that's taking over the world. very soon, our government will decide if the company will be allowed to build our next generation mobile network, which will transform the way we live. it's like going from earth to mars. it's not a faster world — it's a different world. but huawei is also a controversial company. look, we have met the enemy, and it is huawei, and it is china — make no doubt about that. the fear is that they could take down our country. we've got to be sure, we've got to be certain, otherwise, in 10 years, 20 years, that could just come back and bite us really badly. 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 panor

. i would like to ask a question. i would like to ask a question about huawei. the us is closing a door to huawei while the uk and germany are open to doing business with the company. what did the panel think about the us asking other countries to reject wildly over security issues? if they approved innocent by us courts what impact would that have on the us relationship with china —— are proved. what do the panel think about the us lobbying other countries to reject huawei because of concerns about security issues? victor? if the united states government is really serious about its allegations about huawei, come up its allegations about huawei, come up with the evidence. in the united states, as with western civilisation, the presumption of innocenceis civilisation, the presumption of innocence is the core of the political system. if you take away that pillar then it will collapse the whole civilisation. therefore for huawei come up with the evidence, substantially your accusation with real evidence otherwise nobody will really believe you and that is what is happening in germ

spoke about concerns regarding the chinese telecom company huawei, and whether it's involved in spying and economic espionage. >> all right. we're going to go go ahead and get started here today. thank you all for coming out to heritage on this rainy thursday morning. we have some very big topics to cover in today's program. some weighty topics from 5g in china, to the future of digital infrastructure and the five bots alliance which joins australia, canada, new zealand, and the u.s., in an arrangement for sharing sensitive intelligence. we have an expert panel ahead to discuss these issues but first we have a special keynote speaker, congressman mike rogers, former congressman from michigan, who chaired the house permanent select committee on intelligence, from 2011 to 2015, where he oversaw a budget of $70 billion, which funded the nation's 17 intelligent agencies. notably, he led a bipartisan investigation into chinese telecom's firm's huawei, and a congressional report issued in 20, a declassified version of which you can see. before that, he served as an army officer, and as an fb

of the things you wrote recently is once a nation installs huawei, it loses control of its national information infrastructure. james: there is a hilarious story that i think most people know about now about the chinese building as a gift the headquarters of the african union. do you know the story? >> go ahead and tell it. james: the african union noticed after a couple months that every night at 2:00 a.m. there was a huge outflow of data from their computer networks. when they looked, they found the outflow was to shanghai. if you install chinese equipment, you run the risk that you may be more open than you would desire. the other fear is that there is an intelligence espionage, espionage advantage from buying from huawei. there is also the risk of coercive effect. could they turn off your phones? could they degrade service? those are the two things that worry people. most major capital goods these days connect home, whether it is the jet engine or big electoral -- electrical generator. not just huawei, but most people, because software is important, there is a continuous connect

-- as huawei? does services do the heavy lifting? julie: i believe apple tends to have a very loyal base of consumers. what's difficult here is you can't parse out that 1.4 billion. as julie, how many devices do i own versus how many new customers are they bringing into the apple ecosystem? the values of the services and the devices goes up the more devices i own. both numbers need to continue to grow for apple. many interesting results tied to china. they blame all their problems on china, particularly the following iphone sales -- falling iphone sales. china is down about 22% in terms of year-over-year sales. how much of a worry is it that china seems to be not quite the growth focus has been? julie: so, i think it's always-- it's somewhat of a concern because it's the largest market in the world. there is a strong competition from the local players in the chinese market. bigger picture, when we look at where new smart phone sales are coming from, they are going to come from economies like china and india and indonesia and wage area. -- and nigeria. it's going to be hard for apple
