so google grew out of the ph d. program at stanford right they have this affinity for academics they view themselves as academic a little bit nature their campus looks like a college campus so google provides a ton of fun and. 4 academic institutions individual academics all around the world so we found something like $300.00 papers that were funded by google in some way that's a part of google's policy positions they like to say hey we have the country's foremost academic experts behind us and what they're not telling in the public is the fact that they're actually funding these so-called independent expertise so what independent academics where shows have time for congress about whether or not google is a monopoly she was relying on an academic study to bolster his point they didn't disclose at the paper with actually funded by google. are you concerned that your company has been called exerting enormous power internet traffic in ways that hurt many small world businesses and local extremely good and well meaning

to get people on to google and off of google out into the open web as quickly as possible and largely they're really successful about that the success of google led to in many ways the success of the open web in this explosive growth in startups and innovation during that period google had developed this incredible technology called page rank unveiling what was known for the back row about them and it was your sleeps and bounds ahead of services like yahoo altavista and quickly became the clear winner in the space just from a technology basis and what does is it spiders around the internet instead of being a directory service like yahoo was it's taking pictures of web pages and analyzing the links between the web pages and using that to make some assumptions about relevance and so if you're looking for some history of abraham lincoln and there's a bunch of links to cross the web pointing to a particular site that must mean that this page is the quote unquote most relevant . now they had to figure out how do we make money off this we've got an index how do we make money well they figur

and then google see this is so google was saying no actually we're going to keep your data. and we're going to organize society you know how to improve enough to muster world. there are a couple trends i think lead google off of its path of being the the place that just match people with the best information on the web and led them off into the internet and that was the birth of smartphones steve jobs unveiled the i phone in the rise of facebook and this notion that time spent on a site where users doing lots and lots of time on facebook became really important metrics that advertisers are paying attention to and so google's response was basically to deviate from that original eat those in becoming a place were they were trying to keep people on google so they very rapidly started to branch out into other areas they were getting a lot of information from people using the search engine but if people went directly to a website. that's bad because now google doesn't know that so they developed a browser which is now the most widely used to browse around the world chrome by gett

google realized that the federal government is using google docs they're using google tools in some cases there are even linked to g. mail so google has fused itself with our federal government in so many ways the government's motivation for using it is well google's already done it and they they have this thing that works it seems to be working pretty well for consumers so the idea behind it was one very well let's just put some government agencies on google . you know will use google cloud for something they lack the expertise to have the necessary security on it and then it becomes a big embarrassment afterwards to try and keep it out of the media because people would rightfully point out there is a huge security risk so members of congress are calling for an investigation of google for secretly tracking i phone users all over the internet even users who thought they had blocked that kind of surveillance were you see this pattern emerging over and over again so look at google street view google agreeing to pay $7000000.00 to settle what $38.00 states are street new cars collection of d

dent google 's omnipresence. we will keep a close eye on that and how it develops. cornelia will be back in about half an hour to review the main stories being covered by the global media. in the meantime let's go to other stories. a number of exit polls from india's general election suggest the current prime minister, narendra modi, and his hindu nationalist party, the bjp, is set to win a second term in office — although they've been wrong in the past. the votes from the vast electorate, of 900 million people, won't be counted until thursday. talks have resumed in the sudanese capital, khartoum, between the transitional military council and the opposition protest movement over the formation of a transitional government. the council, which is currently in charge of the country, had suspended negotiations for three days demanding that the protesters take down new roadblocks and allow train services to run. the russian military has said that its syrian government allies have ceased fire unilaterally in the nortw

actually two things i would say first of all the advanced google lands in google search the tool is not only helping to search for thing stats you need but it also helping you place them in your place like for example when you're looking for shoes you can not only have a look at them but you can also place them in the your room to see if they match with the rest of your clothes another tool with google lens is that when you put the camera on a sign a text or a command google ends can translate the text into low you language and it can also read it out loud that's of course very help for poor people who cannot read or have problems with reading another thing that i found quite amazing what the new next generation of the google assistants that is according to google ten times faster and now better and it helps you navigate through different apps and you don't even have to say hey google any more. fascinating developments there but this isn't just a chance for google to present hardware in products but it's also an opportunity for google to tell the world where it's going so what do you th

convey the google community was excited about its new products and the new fast so google assisted but for that company the real challenge will be to keep growing and history experiencing mounting competition and growing criticism. designs and let's talk more about tech firms in taxation i'm joined now by clemens forrest president of germany's info institute where later today the international monetary fund will present a new paper on this topic lemons joins us from munich suppose your institute is opposed to a digital tax why. the digital tax proposal is the unilateral introduction of a tax on turn over it is totally incompetent but with the international tax system so it is true that digitalization raises difficulties in the tax system but the digital tax proposal by the european commission is the wrong answer that's why we are against it and you are making the business argument here but are you losing the popular argument that is the one of inequality the people angered over tax dodgers and in the words of bruno lemaire front france's finance minister that they want fiscal justice.

so google grew out of ph d. program at stanford right they have this affinity for academics and it will mean the small business. we are in the rankings business and so these are the. as a winner and so forth i am satisfied that the vast majority of small businesses are extremely well served served by our approach and as i said earlier it's an evolution i do believe that they do anything our system moves into the small business of the larger businesses because it gives them a hearing in a rule they would not otherwise have is the nature of the way the algorithms for. google has a blacklist and the biggest blacklist they have is called their quarantine list. now i'm guessing very few people have ever heard of this list and yet i'm telling you it not only as a tool of censorship it is by far the biggest and most dangerous list that google maintains for the purpose of controlling information the quarantine last is a list of websites that google doesn't want you to visit are there a 1000 items on this list you know t

google is saying google play and the security protections from google play will continue to function on existing huawei devices. we will keep you up—to—date here on bbc news. hello there. the weather is not looking too bad over the next few days. a mixture of dry spells and a few passing showers but the temperatures are going to be doing reasonably well over the next few days, pushing into the low 20s in the next four spots. we will look at what happened yesterday weatherwise and we had plenty of showers around, stretching from dorset across the midlands and into lincolnshire is where we had the heaviest downpours caused by the winds bashing together, the air forced to rise, making these big showers that were heavy and slow—moving in nature. the rain coming down so heavily in warwickshire that it was bouncing off the roads on the pavements. why am i telling you about this? we will see similar things setting up later on today, i will explain more in the moment but over the next few hours, a lot of cloud around, fog patches, lincolnshire, north—east england, and eastern areas o

allows google to avoid u.s. taxes that's the real problem here but this is not a problem the european commission can solve if the americans don't want to collect taxes from google that's that problem do you believe you believe there is a case to be made for alternative forms of taxation however given this. argument of inequality unfairness there are other options besides digital tax are there not. absolutely so it is correct that tax avoidance by multinational firms and digital print in particular tax for direct runs is a big problem these companies can easily shift their ip to tax havens because this is immaterial property and something needs to be done about that that's true but we need other measures in particular source taxes on license payments or other payments to these tax havens one big problem is that the european union is not coordinated so we have rules preventing individual countries from fighting this tax avoidance and we need to change those rules not introduce a new tax a tax by the way that would

google is restricted anyway to a great degree, isn't it? yes, what you pointed to is the history of google in mainland china, a decade ago it operated in the search business but pulled out because it wasn't willing to abide by the very, very restrictive censorship restrictions that the chinese government puts in place and google hasn't been here in terms of search for the last ten years. that is another part of the business, gives you an idea of the context of google operating here in china. gmail, you can't use that, you can't use youtube without a virtual private network which circa the chinese government censorship restrictions but google wants to operate on the chinese mainland, it's had project dragonfly would is talk of a project to get back into search but for the time being that's not going anywhere but in terms of the handset market china is the biggest market in terms of handsets and huawei is the second biggest builder of those smartphones and of google says you can't use the android operating system going forward it's plainly a

and to popular google apps such as g. mail and you tube. internet giant google has announced it will stop providing services to while away the world's 2nd largest producer of smart phones the chinese company will no longer be allowed to use full versions of google's android operating system on its devices the decision is based on a van created by washington u.s. president trump says foreign telecommunications companies pose a threat to u.s. national security analysts say the new comers department rules are aimed squarely at huawei google's decision deals a potentially heavy blow to the chinese company way along with the chinese government has called the move an inappropriate and excessive restriction will formally confirm this matter and follow the situation closely at the same time china will support its own enterprises to take necessary legal steps to defend their legitimate rights and interests. current while way smartphone users will no longer automatically receive android security updates otherwise the restrictions w

we have a statement today from a google spokesperson that is very did add and google new avenue for complaints of any kind recently in response to these protests, but is google saying anything else about these specific cases or this protest in particular? google has said regarding the cases we talked about, the specific ones involving these leaders, that there was not retaliation here, and as you said, they have said throughout that they do not retaliate. keep in mind, federal u.s. labor companies from retaliating against workers for their involvement in trying to organize around their working conditions. people often think of that as a law that is about unions, but it is actually a law that is much more broadly about work or collectiveorker action tied to all kinds of issues in the workplace, so we have seen examples of workers going to the national labor relations board, filing charges alleging that there has been some form of retaliation. another of those was filed just in the past several days, so this will be fought out in that forum as well as in the public forum where, of course, the id

the bigger picture here is that google ‘s android software is just one picture here is that google ‘s android software isjust one piece of american—made technology that huawei makes use of and so, imagine this problem, perhaps matt was applied several times or stop some a nalysts say applied several times or stop some analysts say that huawei might —— tab on mac when be able to continue without using american products in some way. as tensions between iran and the united states run high, president trump has issued a blunt threat against tehran on twitter. in a tweet, he said that if iran wanted to fight, that would be the end of the country. those tensions have seen a pair of us warships head towards the gulf in recent days. a rocket was fired a few hours ago into baghdad's heavily fortified green zone, which houses government offices and foreign diplomatic missions. who fired it isn't known, but the us has accused iran of meddling in the region. i asked steve herman, white house bureau chief of voice of america news, what the impact of president trump's tweet might be. it certai

have had of google as well. emily: meantime, union workers were spotted handing out flyers outside of facebook's offices in san francisco. what can you tell us about that? >> there is an allegation being made in leaflets by organizers at facebook that these subcontracted cafeteria workers have been retaliated against for their activism. these are workers who want a union. this is one of a slew of victories for hospitality and service worker unions in the bay area organizing not people who are considered employees of these tech companies, but subcontracted workers who other companies provide to those companies. people like shuttle bus drivers, cafeteria workers. some of these companies have moved toward facilitating or staying neutral or giving their blessing to those subcontracted workers unionizing. here is a case, though, where some of those workers are saying that that vendor company been retaliated against them. emily: it is always difficult to gauge how much protests like this represents sentiment at the en

out to, is it google or huawei, the retailerfrom i out to, is it google or huawei, the retailer from i bought out to, is it google or huawei, the retailerfrom i bought —— for i bought my phone from? huawei has said it will continue to support security patches and phones but it's unlikely they will get access to code from google, google has an android patch every month and it means its competitors can update devices faster than huawei and that's a big problem for them. if you spend 999 euros and a brand—new device it's gutting to have that taken away, that kind of security. after two months of owning it. good to talk to you, thank you. let's take a look at some of the other stories making the news a group of footwear firms, including nike and adidas, have urged president donald trump to take footwear off a proposed list of tariffs to be imposed on shoes imported from china. it comes after the us hiked tariffs on $200bn worth of chinese imports to 25% from 10% earlier this month. us car giant ford has announced it will cut 7,000 jobs globally by the end of august in an effort to

let's talk about google. google's annual developers' conference is taking place near its headquarters in mountain view, california. the company announced a new device, the nest hub, a small screen with a camera that people can use for video calling and to control their smart home. but how much control will users have over what data google scoops up from the device? our north america technology reporter dave lee spoke to rishi chandra, google's lead developer for smart homes. every feature you have on the camera isa every feature you have on the camera is a choice you can make. you can choose to turn it on, you can choose to turn on things like basil detection, you can choose to turn off the camera features. are they on by default? is it up to me to say i don't want this, turn it off, or is it up and it to say i want this, turnit it up and it to say i want this, turn it on? they are all off i default —— by default, and even for the video: you need to into turn it on. if i'm talking on a video, is google ta

such as google play g. mail and you tube. there is dismay in europe at the news that many google services will no longer be available on who are with smartphones in rome businessman argue opera philly has lost faith in the chinese manufacturer but you know then you know i was very much get angry at huawei who sold me something that doogal doesn't recognize anymore i will send it back via registered mail. with. the us government has added the chinese company to a trade blacklist which munich resident he finds hard to accept any of us wouldn't you clearly know this sort of thing is unacceptable it's again the customer that has to suffer because of some argument the americans have with chinese companies i think it's totally unjustified and it's a wonder they staged back in beijing chinese foreign ministry spokesman lou kang said the chinese government would defend chinese interests in the face of the decision. china will confirm this and will look into it and pay attention to it and at the same time china supp

its android devices from updates to google apps and services. the move comes several days after the us commerce department announced it was blacklisting huawei over concerns that its equipment could be used by the chinese government to spy on american networks. we are nowjoined by our tech reporter, david lee. hejoins us from san francisco. i'm so sure hejoins us from san francisco. i'm so sure that many people with huawei them. then we start with why this may be happening now? while was added to that entity list from the us government. that means that american companies can't do business without byway without having a specific licence first. google doesn't have one of those licenses and it means the android software that it divides to huawei, that includes gmail, abs, u—tube and security updates for huawei phones, —— u—tube. it means they can't provide that to the company. two of the huge maker of smartphones, it has surpassed apple as being the largest vendor in the world and android is the software that huawei phones use. so from now

android operating system google is taking direction from the u.s. . government which has added the chinese telecoms company to a trade blacklist triggering restrictions that will make it difficult for huawei to do business with american companies and it's not just google that has cut ties with while away the chinese company won't be able to buy u.s. made chips for its devices any longer. right now huawei buys about $67000000000.00 worth of components each year including about $11000000000.00 from u.s. suppliers like intel qualcomm xilinx and broadcom according to the nikkei business report. tech experts have question to our ways ability to continue to function without cooperation from the united states the u.s. government considers the company a national security threat and has warned its allies not to involve the chinese in their 5 g. networks the white house claims beijing could use the technology to spy on the west huawei has repeatedly denied that allegation is says it's going to fight back against what it cost the strangling moves of the u.s. hua

they certainly want to talk about being a helpful google. and certainly messaging here is google's utilities, you use search, maps, voice assistants, that help your life. they are trying to contrast themselves with social media, which is associated with addiction and a lot of negative qualities. earlier today, there was a plane with a keynote banner that said google control is not privacy. that is a pretty strong rebuttal from a group that is supporting local journalism. they still have critics. emily: you've got some very googley activity with people jumping behind you, trying to get a good photo, mark. android, only 20% of devices are running the latest operating system before the latest operating system. we don't know how many are running the latest operating system. so brand-new devices, they are not up-to-date. that means security and privacy aren't being utilized. how big of a problem is that? mark: yeah. this is been a problem they been trying to address. you could read the pixel as a strategy of google saying we have control over thi
