U. K. Announced it will reverse its decision to work with weiwei on monday the country announced it will move to ban the tech giant from its 5 g. Network by 2020 summit Rachel Blevins joins me to break this all down rachel whats what are you paying officials saying about the move where you the u. K. Is quarter secretary was the one who made the announcement and he said that not only will the country not be working with wall way to establish its 5 g. Network but it also plans to Ban Companies from purchasing equipment from wall way by the end of this year take a listen to what else he said earlier the government agrees with the National Cybersecurity sense advice the best way to secure networks is for operators to use the new 52 to one way to prevent to build the new case future 5 networks so to be clear from the end of this year Telecoms Operators must not buy any 5 to equipment from her wallet and once the Telecom Security bill is passed it will be illegal for them to do so. Now this is a major change from what we saw back in just january when the u. K. Said that it was going to work with wall way on a more restricted basis where the tech giant was able to have access to up to 35 percent of the u. K. s network theres been a lot of back and forth with many countries but especially with the u. K. Like you said with this reversing of the decision why now what changed while theyre good allies the u. S. Has been pushing for all of its allies to also ban wall way for more than a year now and the u. S. Has gone as far as to say that it would cut off intelligence sharing with those allies based on National Security concerns now when it comes to the u. K. That would be a really big deal considering the fact that both countries are members of the 5 alliance and the u. K. Had responded and had said that it wanted to be able to make this decision on its own specifically however we saw the reports come out that noted that back in may the tramp in ministration announced new restrictions that stop foreign Semiconductor Manufacturers whose operations use u. S. Elsewhere in technology from shipping chips to walk away without 1st getting a license from u. S. Officials british officials noted that they consider this change because it could impact the quality of wall way equipment in the future along with that this week we have u. S. Officials in europe meeting with european officials and out of all of the topics theyre talking about that includes Foreign Policy with china and the future of 5 g. Well we dont china is not one to stay quiet theyre pretty vocal about their opinion about fair competition especially with wall away what have they said was spokesperson for Chinas Foreign Ministry did speak out and he noted that whenever it comes to this decision this is something that beijing is going to look at and its going to see it as a signal for whether it should continue to invest in the u. K. Take a listen. Whether the u. K. Can provide an open fair and nondiscriminatory Business Environment for Chinese Companies will be the touchstone of the trend in the u. K. Market after break as well as a barometer of the safety of Chinese Investment in the u. K. China will pay close attention to. Now their decision is a likely european one of its closest allies however its also likely to further increase tensions with china how time washington has already referring to its relationship with beijing as severely damaged thats exactly it already had some strained relations with the United States now possibly looking at the u. K. But thank you so much for that report our correspondent rachel thank you. Go deeper into the story and bring in film best cohost and investigative journalist fenceline bennett we seem to be talking about this for happy days on our own now we talked on monday and you mentioned that if this happens as it now has that it would be a complete reversal for Prime MinisterBoris Johnson is this reversal based on any new information or is it just a u. S. Pressure like rachel said yeah i really think its u. S. Pressure i dont see any reason for this now obviously you know essentially what the u. K. Is saying is that they went back and they did a 2nd analysis and they looked again with their Security Specialists and thats where the breach is decision if that is the case wouldnt the u. K. Come forward and say and here is what we have now found the technical specific information as to why while way is a threat they have not done that instead they simply turned around and said yeah were going to go along with what the u. S. Has been saying which is that to allow way to be part of our 5 g. Buildout is ultimately dangerous for the country its bad for the world the chinese will spy on us and yet no one saying how remember Boris Johnson originally said that while way would not be allowed to work on the components of the 5 g. Build out that could be compromised and instead would only use technology in what they called the core build out of 5 g. Essentially meaning youre not going to have access to be able to harm us in any way but now theyre saying something completely different without without showing any reason why theyve changed their point of view right its interesting to see how quickly they flip flop basically over this decision without like youre saying any evidence but the u. K. Does say that these sanctions and may against while they really triggered a new security riverview walk away and that that review was the reason for this u. Turn essentially are you buying that. I dont buy it look i we know that when this was originally announced in january right and we were talking about this back in january that essentially board. And shocked a lot of the world certainly shocked europe and definitely shocked the United States when he said we are going to use while we are a build out because he was trying to make good on a Campaign Promise to get to that 5 g. Technology and said that while wade was the world leader in it then we know that there was a threat that was made in january right after Boris Johnson said that from the u. S. Saying that if this happens the u. K. Would be barred from being a part of 5 intelligence sharing thats the United States the u. K. Australia and new zealand are all part of this you know 5 eyes organization that essentially involves itself intelligence sharing and stead of stepping back and saying well wait a minute were be essentially being threatened with not being allowed to share intelligence theyve just gone along with it on the us is probably patting themselves on the back for winning getting getting some momentum on this war against weiwei. Where these bands stand as far as other countries go where they expanded to and are there common links between those countries. Well i think the biggest common link as i mentioned were the 5 is right so when we talk about Australia New Zealand we talk about the now the u. K. All being involved in these bands we know that india is now involved in a band involving a while way and so what we see over and over is that every place where the u. S. Is able to exert itself politically or through intelligence sharing they how are having success in this and whats really interesting to me is look i know it comes off here as if im advocating for weiwei im really not advocating for awhile way dont care or alternately if the company survives or not but i do think its important that we advocate for honesty and for fairness and whats happening here is you have the Trump Administration saying and making accusations about wild way and im going to say it until they finally come forward with it without ever providing a single piece of evidence that while we is doing what they say what ways doing thats problematic because when you are using this influence to control what other countries are doing guess what u. K. Is not going to not have a 5 g. Buildout its now going to be pushed to state owned partially state partially private owned companies in europe thats where its going to go to so you have to call into question the technology here and you have to call into question the motivation behind this and if youre making a statement as a as a leader of a country you need to back up what youre saying right evidence not simply make a declaration well i would definitely talk to walk away a few times and a few people from there and i visited myself and asked them and they i may have you know invited officials of course that were not defending while we much like you said we want those that evidence and i remember a few months later some headlines said and read that we the u. S. Department of National Security said that they had the evidence but still it was not provided that we are calling for and we are wanting to see this part but part of this move it to remove a way as technology. From the u. K. Is to move it entirely by 2027 is that even possible. I dont think it is logo is weve talked about you know on the show a couple times before and very quickly here theyre talking about not just stop unified you go about they want to go back rip and replace for g technologies 3 g. And 2 g. Technology but what we as responsible for in the u. K. It will take years to do it will cost billions of pounds to do with and i dont think it will happen anytime quickly about a lot of expense it will be interesting also to see how the u. S. Moves forward when they said that they want to work with wall way for setting 5 g. Standards so thats another well have to keep an eye on and see what the United States comes out with to say who must cohost of us get a journalist bence want to thank you for your time today. There are things. Like sicko is the latest country with plans to phase out the use of glyphosate cancer causing chemical found in the weed killer round meanwhile a judge has blocked efforts in california to put cancer warning labels on the herbicide and there is backing out on part of its recent round of settlement deal to resolve lawsuits against the chemical giant legal journalist molly barrows contributor with americas lawyer joins us now to explain molly what changes as they are want to make in the settlement agreement. Well the main portion the part where they want to settle those lawsuits are the majority of those thousands of lawsuits for about 10000000000. 00 that still stands the wording that theyre doing away with has to do with Scientific Panel that was also part of the settlement deal they were going to have a joint selection of scientists that were going to determine whether or not glyphosate thats the main ingredient in the weed killer roundup if that was indeed carcinogenic and basically the future of other lawsuits the future of future lawsuits was going to be impacted by that Scientific Panels decision and so basically it looks as if that part is now next in taken out after some questioning about the fairness of that particular edition well and we hear a lot of mixed messages a mixed studies a scientific opinions on how toxic these this life is it actually is but it seems like mexico is going with the side of that its actually causing cancer is that why mexicos phasing it out. Yes you know mexico is joining a number of other countries including germany luxembourg youve also got vietnam 7 and theyre saying listen we have enough Scientific Evidence that we feel shows that theres a good chance theyve got to say it can lead to cancer so its being found in food like hummus we saw a recent report words being found in chick peas which of course is used to make comics and its one of the most widely used herbicides in the world so its not surprising that its turning up in these places but there are a number of tests which monsanto the original producer of round has fought and then of course when bear merged with monsanto in 2018 theyre fighting this these accusations in this litigation as well but there are a number of studies that say you know what it is a likely carcinogen it will could could potentially cause cancer even the e. P. A. Which is traditionally sided with monsanto and bear says that its unlikely to cause cancer if its used as directed why i dont know exactly what unlikely means but theres a lot of wiggle room when you use words like that and thats essentially whats happening with Different Countries different courts mexico said you know what we feel like this is a good move to make that its not just cancer causing it can cause other harm as well their body other Health Effects so they decided to go ahead and phase it out over the next 4 years well i want to go back to the california judge said that theyre not requiring cancer warning labels on roundup why is that. Well you know the state of california wanted to have those warning labels put on there because again going back to some studies that show show that there is a likelihood that it could cause cancer but because there are differing studies the judge ruled that it would be a violation of barriers free speech because of those differences in opinion and they have decided to rule with fair monsanto california their own Health Environmental officials feel like that the levels of glyphosate that are in round up alone warrant that that label should be there and when they tried to enact that bear bile back with a lawsuit of their own of the judge centrally sided with that saying no you cant put that label on there theres too many differing opinions its a violation of their free speech but of course environmentalist and prosecutors and california attorneys i should say in california are saying that that is a blight against the people of california that decision lee before we go i do want to get one more question and it california just want to get a graphic up right now we have a level showing the differences between the e. P. A. And california they all have different risk levels like you see there as far as the levels of glyphosate that are safe studies going back to 20000 if you remember when the weed killer was found in several kids cereals one of the w. G. Is saying that high levels are present in this. Yes so yes theyre finding high levels and hummus the chickpeas that are used to make a mess and in fact this really goes to a wider issue whether its the life of say its or c a so many chemical compounds that are used in a variety of ways whether its cooking or agriculture they make our way into our products that we ingest that make our way into the Drinking Water that make our way and make its way into animals that we end up running so you know to quote my crop attorney of americas lawyer he feels this is an ongoing problem youll see those differing levels of what the e. P. A. Except as to what other environmental officials accept and he would say that the e. P. A. Traditionally is in the pocket of a lot of these corporations because of their symbiotic relationship to the revolving door of jobs that go between the e. P. A. And a lot of these corporations that are supposed to oversee them so it is interesting to see that we are seeing glyphosate in more products around the world that were taking into our bodies and then youve got the e. P. A. Saying well its acceptable as long as you use it as directed and some attrition us are saying not to worry that those levels are safe but im sure there will be more news coming out from that molly barrows contributor with americas lawyer thank you so much for making time for us today. Thanks air. Time now for a quick break but hang in there because when we return russia breaks the ice well more so the news on its new Nuclear Vessel icebreaker is a continues its expeditions into the arctic plus j.

Russia has begun building the Worlds Largest and most powerful Nuclear Icebreaker the 1st battle of the so called leader project is now being constructed in russias far east while the country is keen to gain a foothold in the arctic region where gigantic Natural Resources are hidden under the sea bed and the cheapest way to take all the extracted wealth out is by water this is where the latest ice breakers come in handy paving the way for cargo ships to navigate the north sea route all your route of all artes your top of all are more the task of the leader class Nuclear Icebreakers is to provide year round as called of transport vessels in harsh conditions of the north sea route rushing tends to build at least 3 Nuclear Icebreakers of this class the flagship vessel that has just been launched will be named russia its expected to cost 1800000000 dollars and will become operational in 2027 the icebreaker will move with a commercial speed of about 1314 knots and cope with an average ice thickness of about 67 feet thanks to the new ice breakers of this class modern merchant s
