S. Governments most significant act to protect competition since its groundbreaking case against microsoft more than 20 years ago. For more we are joined now by our correspondent in washington d. C. All of us out at all of a good to see you explain what google is being accused of. The allegation made against google is that the company is unlawfully maintaining a monopoly in essentially cutting off its rivals in the areas mentioned here are general Search Services search advertising in general surge text advertising so essentially all the areas google is known for and especially used for among users now this is a very significant law case as youve mentioned already its the biggest type of biggest off its time in the last 20 years since a very groundbreaking case against microsoft were also looking at one of the u. S. Governments most significant acts to protect the competition here now google has of course also responded already they say that this law case is deeply flawed they really stress today that people are using google voluntarily simply because they choose to not because theyre forced to and that also other options exist other search and engines that can be used other browsers of course as well and also made clear that theyre going to fight this the lawsuit has only been signed by attorneys general from the Republican Party whys that. Well thats right in those are 11 republican state attorneys general and if you look at where these state attorneys general conference come from then it is quite selfexplanatory because the states are are console florida georgia mysteries so those are all republican led states essentially and theyd joint these state attorneys general joint the department of justice as plaintiffs and you can consider this as a partisan move and it looks like theyre trying here to support the case of the department of justice and in the end of course support the Trump Presidency ok so we see a party link and its also happening so close to the election the president ial election can we draw connections in that le timely of course here is is particularly interesting as you said were getting ever closer to the election of President Trump promised his voters time and time again to punish Big Tech Companies for what he believes is a anti republican and by is that he alleges and of course hes trying to keep his promises is losing in polls right now and trying to gain some support here 2 among voters that could also be an opening salvo of this move ahead of other antitrust actions just think of facebook or twitter that have become under scrutiny by the republicans for moving against fake news against misleading information against conspiracy theories like you and on and trump as we know benefits from all that posting in retreating himself fake news and misleading information so critics to believe that this year also can be considered as an act of retaliation ok to be correspondent all of a sudden in washington thank you for that update.

In a Historic Mission a nasa spacecraft has briefly landed on an asteroid over 320000000 kilometers from. The osiris rex spacecraft touched down for a few seconds on the surface of the asteroid named benu to collect rock and dust samples you successful osiris rex will return with the samples to earth in 2023 scientists hope the mission helps them learn more about how planets formed and how life began lets get more on this joining me from washington is Keith Colleen is editor of the space news web site nasa watch dot com keith good to have you on the program the spacecraft has finally touched down on the asteroid 4 years after it was launched was this a successful Sample Collection it would seem that it was perfectly the spacecraft ki moon your this is the asteroid games graded touched made a little worse to be here grab some simple been backed off and everybodys happy everybody was jumping up and down nothing seems to have gone wrong everything seems to go right ok so whats the next set of challenges that we expect for this mission. Well its going to still study the asteroid its circling it right now but at some point it will come back to her itll take 3 years to get here and as it approaches earth it will open up in a little capsule will come out of it that will land on earth in utah and inside of the samples of the asteroid and then the spacecraft will can continue off to another destination and so weve got now exactly pretty much a 3 year wait to see whats inside and thing what and side what kind of insights do you hope to gain from this and time mission. Well when the asteroid was visited because its small its close to earth and so forth and it sucked to be rather old and what they discovered was some surprising things its materials on there that youd only expect on a world with a river of water but this world is the size that this is a skyscraper this is how big the asteroid is so they found evidence of stuff that youd expect in a bigger world so that sort of suggests that this was part of something that was bigger but they also phone chemicals on there that you would expect to be there with the origin of life so they did not discover life but they discovered the components that might cause it to arise that was a surprise as well so this even you a world. Surprised a lot of people and you know that there are many other asteroids like this so if this one which was just sort of picked at random is like this many of them are like this or maybe theyre different. This astroid bando as a serious matter and it could become dangerous for yet right. Yes it orbits the sun very simple route to the earth and it can get close and theres a possibility that towards the end of the century it might come close so if it might hit you might want to know what its made out of and by studying it they discover that its actually a collection of pebbles and so its kind of nice to know that as opposed to something thats really solid and hard as if it did come and hit the earth something its you know solid is it can make a big crater cause a bad day for the world but something is very fluffy and easily eroded might just not cause a problem after all but we have to go visit it to find out exactly what its made up ok hope its not about day for the world keith cowing editor of a space news web site nasa watch dot com and washington thank you for joining us thank you for the insight pleasure.

Promise now 13000000 people across those countries who need humanitarian assistance including 2000000 people whove been forced to flee their home just in the last year or so and problems have a series of underlying causes poverty and Development Rapid population growth Climate Change which means that. You know its impossible to the sunshine times of people to make a living in traditional nomadic pastoral lifestyles who are in subsistence agriculture. And into that are coming extremist groups and these the extremist groups really. Forcing huge numbers of people to flee their homes or a baby to deal with the short term you have to deal with the long long term causes as well right Food Insecurity in this a hell region has increased massively at more than 500. 00 the same in mali for example what all the root causes of hunger in the region. Well its the same sorts of things really i mean people are hungry when they dont have incomes and when theyre very very poll the well produces more than enough for everybody to go to bed each night well nourished the problem is that in some places theyre all people who have the means to purchase the fate now they say he and region has not developed in the way many of the policies that well to have over there asta few generations and so theyre very reliant on forms of agriculture. And then subsistence agriculture which the very large growing populations are too many people to really rely on those forms of being in an era of Climate Change. Now the 1000000000. 00 that that that youre trying to raise its in multiple 2020 what about and they get off to that well i am confident today we will raise hundreds of millions of dollars set in and one thing i am expecting is that countries coming to this conference and im very grateful to germany denmark and the European Union for hosting it i am raised the confidence that people will make pages which go into 20212022 because youre right they problems that were dealing with have courses that will take a long time to address and we need to be prepared for the whole.

Falls on that a long time sway of terrorists and extremist groups and organized criminals more and more people be displaced to flow out into neighboring countries the regions could become a santa for all souls are bad problems organized crime refugee flows migration but also be exposed to terrorism and violence and so its in the interests of the region but also the neighbors in europe is this regions main important neighbor is in europes interest and the interest of the wider world these problems to be dealt with primarily for the people of these cuts for the wider world as well right perhaps the aussie i mean aid can only ever be a stopgap solution what really needs to change in the salad so that in the long term people can live full and Productive Lives or i can buy time and help the National Authorities do the right thing at the single most important thing is while the National Authorities in the local authorities and local organizations and local people can do to support their own development and build a future themselves the wider world should have a leadership role hes really in the region all right that small local you know in emergency relief coordinator mr thank you we appreciate your time here on africa thank you very much.

The United States files an trust lawsuit against google the company is accused of abusing its market position to fend off competition look at the reaction from new york. Also coming up through dons economic fortunes could be about to change as the u. S. Plans to remove the country from terrorism blacklist. And are then becomes the 1st country to go into a 2nd lockdown as the government fears hospitals it wont be able to cope with the surge in corona virus infections. This is the domain of business im Kate Ferguson thanks for joining me the United States has filed on trust lawsuits against google accusing the company of illegally using its market power against its competitors the government says google has bought its success by paying mobile phone makers and others to make it the diesel to Search Engine its the biggest challenge the u. S. Has launched against a tech Company Since a lot to mark ace against microsoft back in 1998 lets talk to the financial correspondent to in new york know how yes this is a pretty big deal whats behind this lawsuit. You know well i mean the whole lawsuit to was about one year in the making and the big question is if google actually violated antitrust laws here in the United States google is self is saying is that its not forcing anybody to use their Search Engine or do advertising with google on the other side there is this claim that the Search Engine is preinstalled and that many devices and just sort of one of the reason so that this might be a blocking competition and was that at the end also innovation and so for hurting consumers and hands reactions to this case how thing pouring in a ready stay with us for a moment were just going to take a listen to what one allah says this could mean for a big task i mean this is something that i think investors should not take lightly and i think as we get into actions depending on a blue we are no i think we can start to see more and more pressure against big tech giants from Business Model tweaks so obviously break ups is the more extreme i think this is going to be a long battle but ultimately i think this is a 1st step towards going to be yelling many chapters against big tech yancey whats your take on this do you think this could be the beginning of a broader u. S. Cracked eye on these huge tech companies. Regulatory pressure is already underway for quite some time in this case so google could be seen as the guinea pig and lets say google would lose this case what actually might take quite some time to play out that could increase pressure on other tech giants and as well but even these sites and this lawsuit as i mentioned the regular rick perry pressure is high and probably we might see changes overall untrue trust law says im not mistaken the main changes to and to trust laws came even before world war one so lawmakers all over the place and all over the parties are looking forward to change that so yes we can definitely expect more pressure on tech giants like google like Facebook Like amazon. But we will wait and see what actually will change if lawmakers will try to pressure those companies to break up if we might see fines if they have to change their Business Practices but yes there is definitely increased pressure on those tech giants Google Mckinney if they cant cut in new york thanks so much. The United States says it will remove sudan from the list of state sponsors of terrorism on conditions the country pays more than 300000000. 00 to american victims and their families the move could prove a major boost for the sudanese economy and neighboring the country to access foreign loans and investments. Many in the capital khartoum see moves by the u. S.
