People in london. Is going to go. Live from moscow to the world this is r. T. International from the t. V. On myself. Hello and welcome. Chinese Telecom Giant weiwei sees its purred to sell the core code of its technology to any prospective western buyer firms or indeed nations could then reconfigure it prevent any possibility of a Security Breach the news comes amid continued claims by washington that while way works in cahoots with the Chinese Government its a quick one could be used to spy on users dont you hawkins has been taking a closer look at the companys offer. Is one of this years biggest spy scandals hallway the chinese telecoms giant accused of using cutting edge 5 g. Technology not for the good of humanity but for spying for beijing the United States has also been very clear with our Security Partners on the threat posed by way as chinese law requires them to provide beijings vast Security Apparatus with access to any data that touches their network or equipment so grave was the threat so real apparently the risk that american citizens privacy could be in danger the President Trump declared a National Emergency then like wildfire concerns spread around the world courtesy of u. S. Officials that any country cooperating with law way on building phone or Computer Networks would jeopardize their security so how real is this danger but not at all who always c. E. O. Shores us but he would say that right well heres the deal the company has come up with an unexpected offer to reassure its western clients when we transfer the tac they can modify codes on top of my tech once thats through its not only shielded from me its shielded from everybody else in the world u. S. 5 g. Will be their own thing theres no security concern the concern will only be the us keeping the American Companies who bought it in check so what does it all mean well who are we would sell its blueprints codes peytons everything needed for the client to rewrite the code and thus prevent anyone being able to get back door access keyword anyone once you open the source code you can actually make changes to it that are actually going to keep you with the teacher and make sure that even if there were that tools it would be very difficult and they wanted to persist with obviously upset there was that they exist and i think what were going to see continued patching with all the abilities that we as people continually seeking. To take it wont. But if they dont. Have a license theyre going to be the hackers theyre going to get a massive disadvantage to them about so if thats not enough always chairman even offered to sign a no surveillance pact with the countries in which the Company Operates no spying no back doors so with this unprecedented offer of compromise from the telecoms giant while the panic and harsh rhetoric well remember when we said anyone spying what access the source codes will hamper beijing spying it will be an equal blow for other countries as well the United States for example who are really who are going to blow it all and whoevers take it all to their license who are the source code. You need to be able to trust the organisation and there are any number of man of that result theyre working with this moment in time all of them have had vulnerabilities in the glass that existed and theyve been patched to different elements many of them still habitable it is out there that they havent touched yet and possibly havent been discovered but the question is are the actively Government Entities that have engineered that goes into this equipment will remember all those times washington got caught in the act by whistleblower Edward Snowden revealed years of interceptions by the National Security agency of servers routers and other Network Equipment made by cisco things were so out of control the companys management even went to the u. S. President to complain we simply cannot operate this way our Customers Trust us to be able to deliver to their doorsteps products that meet the highest standards of integrity and security so it always seems to have made an offer thats hard to refuse no spine full control for the Companies Involved and seemingly no more security concerns the ball is now firmly in the critics court. The british army is mulling replacing its fossil fuel guzzling equipment with eco friendly versions according to the countrys chief of general stuff and those polly boy who explains there is a wider trend of western armies trying to attract minority green conscious new recruits. They might be in the business of killing but they dont want to kill the environment while theyre at it the british army is going green general so mark colton smith has said that British Forces are going to be phasing out the use of thirsty gas guzzling military vehicles and equipment in favor of plugging in take cleaner technologies its all in a bid to attract younger and more environmentally conscious recruits not only will it give us considerable operational benefits reducing logistic grab but it will also get the army on the right side of the environmental argument especially in the eyes of our next generation of recruits who increasingly my career decisions based on a prospective employer is environmental credentials earlier this year the british Army Launched a new recruitment drive targeted at young people the campaign emphasise that the army could use the compassion of snowflakes the self belief of millennial the confidence of selfie take is and the focus of phone zombies and the push for a greener and more Inclusive Army isnt limited to the u. K. If u. S. Democratic Party President ial candidate Elizabeth Warren gets her way the American Army will be adding fighting Climate Change to its to do list we dont have to choose between a green military and then a factor one my plan. Servicemembers readiness and safety and the chief cost savings for american taxpayers together we can fight Climate Change and doing military exercises are notoriously bad for the environment munitions can take hundreds of years to degrade and toxic materials like lead. Can spill out and pollute ground water back in 2017 the u. S. Government put out a request for the development of environmentally friendly training bullets both the u. S. And u. K. Militaries seem determined to put the eco into warrior and recruit some of them at the same time thats great brilliant good for them i dont know if thats necessarily thing thats going to attract young people necessarily i think they i dont i maybe we were some people. I wouldnt be a part of the army but im sure it would be better if some people like green eggs. Ive never thought about. But i dont consider that likely but i think well you know me to be honest seems to be dog but. Not doing very. Well going green is a good idea. You know try young people at the end of it do you want to be put in a foreign mine and get killed you know it doesnt matter what you drink you coffee or over what you got this money out of i am all for eco friendly and being full scene of an art of that but personally the fact that during an army doesnt kind of speak to me in theory it sounds like a good idea but whether it would actually work you know really money whos going to go in. And thats what we need to do you know. Not very well have across. South korea has filed a complaint with the International Olympic committee over japans player to use a particular flood during next years games in tokyo seoul insists the rising sun is no better than the nazi swastika represents japanese colonial rule and atrocities associated with it but i took a top official in charge of the 2020 olympics see no problem with flying the Imperial College it was that all of takes a look now after a decades long feud between so took. This flag is the thing setting apart south korea and japan for almost the whole past decade you might not see anything wrong with it but for more than a 1000000000 korean and Chinese People its no different to a swastika during the 2nd world war the japanese empire made this image of the banner for atrocities which rival the darkest crimes of adult hitler. The row over the flag largely dates back to 2011 when the nations football teams met on the pitch to witness the image being literally waved in their faces and since then so has repeatedly asked tokyo to abandon the symbol the latest being their request for the 2020 olympics which japan rubbished the flag itself is not considered to be a political statement so it is not viewed as a prohibited item so now so has reached out to the International Olympic committee directly we emphasized that the use of the rising sun flag during the tokyo lympics would be a direct violation of the olympic spirit promoting world peace and love for humanity and at the International Olympic committee should have the Tokyo Organizing Committee prepare strict measures to prevent it from being brought to stadiums just last week tokyo snubbed an International Fleet review in south korea over the demands to abandon any hoisting of the controversial image symbols of nazi germany have been outlawed and to this day on solon occasions berlin speaks of its continued repent at the same time the japanese flag over. Old korean and chinese rooms repeatedly according to a lesser by south korea. And plenty of South Koreans agree with the official line one of the reason for doing olympics is hes so if you or anyone of his you saw the news the flex its shave or whatever doesnt like that i think they. Saved on the want to rebuild the relationship because they deny our forecasts i suppose koreans or even governments opinion i suppose. News is that. You know little big or other are. Inferior out there to feel heard. The only one to. Receive a call if they should all pull the sincerely to not only koreans but. To. The countries. Which they affect or concord i think 1st of all people have to know about the history and the Abbott Government that made them forward. And maybe we can. Get better relations.

Join me every thursday on the alex simon show and ill be speaking to guests of the world of politics sports business im show business ill see you then. Just approaching 19 minutes into the hour welcome back the Trump Administration has announced the repeal of whats called the clean water route regulations that control lease of chemicals in your water sources now the idea is to greatly ease the bureaucratic burden on firms but at the same time its brought to the surface fears it will undermine u. S. Water security. Like most of Us Donald Trump enjoys the occasional refreshing glass of clean water. But he doesnt seem as keen to keep the water clean as his predecessor trump has recently lifted obama era restrictions and regulations on the spraying of chemicals and pesticides near streams wetlands and other bodies of water in new wood is a definition that provides hardworking americans the ring the tories certainly the need to invest and develop and build new projects that improve lives in the environment so what has changed well during the obama era if you wanted to use certain chemical pesticides and sprays in your body of water you need a permit now you dont theres certainly going to be a lot of rejoicing about this from certain sectors Many American farmers and manufacturers felt that they were being crushed by the obama era regulations intended to curb Water Pollution it would be great if farmers didnt have to hire an army of consultants and lawyers just to be able to farm now the new rules are being criticized as overly vague with the decision about what bodies of water get protected being decided on a case by case basis now the farmers are overjoyed but that feeling is not being shared by people in communities that depend on streams and rivers many c. T. s and towns to live in with unsafe. And its very important to us that now its not the time to cut back on clean water protections that the American Farmers havent been too keen on donald trump lately due to his trade war with china so perhaps rolling back these clean water regulations will help when im some point with the Agricultural Sector regardless environmentalists are up in arms but as many gamblers have said before you cant win them all up and r.
