A sweeping rollback of its plans to reopen after 4 Business Hours restaurants and places of worship are shut down again over a news search in the crown of a. Welcome to the program the British Government will ban walk away from having any role in providing technology for its 5 g. Networks from 2027 on with the company barred from providing any new equipment from the end of this year the u. K. Previously gave the Chinese Company the green lights to operate but following strong pressure from the trumpet ministration to band while they completely the government has made a dramatic u. Turn citing serious security concerns heres what the u. K. s digital secretary all of adult. Not to say the government agrees with the National Side security sense advice the best way to secure our networks is for operators to stop using new effect to while away to prevent to build the u. K. s future 5 g. 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 joining me now is emily taylor an associate fellow at Chatham HouseInternational Security program and really how significant is the decision to block walk away from the u. K. s 5 g. Network is very significant not just at a technical level and for the businesses of the mobile operators its also significant geopolitically both for the impact on the u. K. s relationship with china and with the us and of cool opening up distance between the u. K. And the rest of the European Union on this issue why has the u. K. Taken this decision now and is it justified there are a number of reasons why the u. K. Has taken this decision if you recall the u. K. Announced its position on wall way back in january and so to sort of cover a middle way if you like that would acknowledge that security concerns voiced by the us and other International Allies but also kept 3 the business as usual for the mobile operators the limits of 35 percent set back in january very much reflected the status quo. What were seeing now is a ramping up of tension there is a fairly respectable technological. Excuse if you like for a change in position and that is the unknown impact of u. S. Sanctions affecting Semiconductor Chips supply but there are lots and lots of other more political reasons both internationally and domestically here where a fair number of the of the governing parties representatives a very opposed to having while way a you just mentioned International Repercussions do you expect this decision from the u. K. To resonate resonate outside of the u. K. Very much so because part of the drivers for reopening the decision are about International Tensions china has already had very harsh words for the u. K. In response to hong kong and there are also tensions surrounding the chinese attitude towards the weaker muslims i think also the pandemic has played a part and certainly affected Public Opinion in the United Kingdom and a recent opinion poll done by the Financial Times suggests that 83 percent of british people dont trust china at the moment but this is clearly an effort to move closer in line with other 5 eyes partnerships 5 eyes being the intelligence sharing cooperation between the us australia and others but it will also cools problems with china at a point where the u. K. Is exercising the European Union seat making those ties weaker with European Partners and the european european other Member States have been doing their own thing with while away a display i call that you know for us for an overall policy and overall coordinated response in fact every country has been ripping out 5 g. In their own way and countries has been to use while they in some way im literally of Chatham House thank you very much thank you. The German Cabinet is set to decide whether to make it easier for intelligence agencies to install spyware on computers and phones to monitor encrypted communication messaging services such as whatsapp telegram and signal use end to end and corruption making it to monitor under the new proposed Law TechnologyTechnology Companies could be obliged to sense by way to a users device hidden as an Apple Software update which could access the users microphone camera and texts. Well the spyware proposal has cost Technology Companies and Civil Society organizations worried journalists groups say it could be used to monitor on reporters for example conducting sensitive investigation well our reporter told our has been following this for us joe why do German Intelligence Agency on these new powers well today many of us use apps for communication weve moved away from texts and emails and we use at such as whatsapp which has 2000000000 users worldwide and Facebook Messenger which is the 2nd biggest now both of these have end to end encrypted which means that its very hard to for those messages to be monitored either by hackers or Government Agencies and thats made them popular with protest organizers around the world as well as journalists communicating with their sources now Security Services might say that they can also be used by criminals and terrorists to send messages into each other now today if a German Security agency wants to monitor a device they have to get physical access to it to install spyware on it or they could trick the user into downloading a piece of malicious code that would then enable that to happen but however under this new proposal the german spy agencies want to make that easier they want to be able to install spyware to track encrypted communication without the user having to do anything at all. How would this work in practice then sure well under this proposal which is being discussed here in germany as the state trojans. Spyware proposal Technology Companies would be obliged to install Monitoring Technology in their very datta centers then spy agencies could use that to send a packet of malicious code to a users device and this could be very easily done by hiding inside an app update or a Software Update or even via an unsecure website then the device could be monitored including its camera its microphone and keypad entries and this would get around end to end encryption because essentially they could monitor a device from a users perspective now these kind of tools are already being used in other countries but not here in germany which has a very high valuation on privacy of course here and in fact Many Internet Service providers here in germany a valued by companies and users precisely because they operate under such strict privacy rules but now if this new opossum is those same companies could be conscripted to become part of intelligence operations its also very nifty solution 2 to 4 for intelligence agencies of course was everybody so worried well weve heard from both business and Civil Society groups that are against this for example the German Technology association bit call it doesnt want its members to have to be recruited into these kind of operation into essentially act as a middleman for the spy agencies weve also heard that journalists groups are very worried about this Reporters Without Borders says the interior ministry has given no explanation as to how state hacking of journalists would be prohibited under these new laws now we did us the German Interior Ministry for an explanation as to why these new laws are necessary we havent heard back from them as of yet now the German Cabinet is due tomorrow to decide on this proposal it will then have to go to the palm it to be approved but it could all end up in germanys Constitutional Court which has in the pos already ruled that germans have a right to be able to trust the integrity and privacy of their devices told don thank you very much for this update. And on to some of the other stories making headlines around the world today the u. S.

Francis celebrating its National Holiday busty day but this year probably celebrations have been cancelled or scaled back in the capital paris for the 1st time since 1945 authorities have counseled the traditional parade along the shores in easy instead a much smaller event took place featuring a tributes to Health Workers representatives from 4 European Countries including germany were also present as their governments took in 161. 00 french virus victims at the height of the corona crisis. At home president mccall has been facing a lot of criticism only recently he reshuffle his cabinet but that its not going down well with everybody either especially when it comes to the appointments of Justice Minister and interior minister. Lets go over to paris straight away where w. s lisa lewis has been following todays events for us lisa what stood out for you. Well it was a very special ceremony not only in that it was confined to the plaster like concord instead of the you know thousands of troops marching down the songs easy as in previous years but also because there was this special tribute to health care and front line workers at one Point Health Care workers came down from the grandstand and marched across the square towards them on my car and they unfolded a huge french flag and while they were walking past lots of people were clapping they were standing up and they were really paying tribute to the effort these people have been doing during the coronavirus knocked down and the ongoing crisis at the 14th of july in france is normally a day where the french pay tribute to the nation and say we are resilient in the times of crisis and this year this obviously has a very special taste to it. Right after the ceremony michael gave an interview to French Television what it is. While he was repeating that the Coronavirus Crisis was still ongoing he said the government would introduce an operation to wear masks face masks inside public spaces they you know inside public buildings as well and he also announced that there would be an economic an unprecedented economic crisis looming with up to 1000000. 00 addition an Unemployed People he said that the government would try to support companies here in the country and also announced a new plan to hold a young people find jobs about what he didnt do really was an economic turnaround he said i will stick to what i announced in 2017 when i came to power and thats his trial really to say his attempt to say you know this really works just give me a chance ive got another 2 years to go until the next president ial elections and hes obviously hoping that he might get reelected at that time the macross being criticised for his handling of Coronavirus Crisis and hes just given Health Workers a big pay rise how much will that help shore up this public support that he needs. Well absolutely he promised 8000000000 years additional 8000000000 years to help hospitals you know you will raise salaries for nurses for example even create and disha 15000 jobs and some of the unions and hospitals have been quite happy felt the announcement but others have already today been demonstrating against that plan they are saying you know its just not enough we need 100000 additional jobs we need not a payer eyes of about 200 years but about off at least 300 years to be at least on the same level as other similarly developed countries around us so yes its a 1st attempt has also been announced havent been announcing other public Spending Plans but it doesnt look like it will just take away the criticism of him out of my cause he will again face an uphill struggle to win over Public Opinion here in france lisa lewis reporting from paris thank you. Now for 1st time in her chance or ship german chancellor Angela Merkel is attending a couple a meeting of the bavarian State Government merkel arrived rather im usually in the or strong coffee he was invited by the various state premier marc was one of the favorites to succeed chancellor he hasnt officially announced his ambition bucks into a recent survey over half of germans would like to see him run for the job. Well because of your Political Correspondent kate brady is following this for us kate is the very end leader. And picked successor. Well far from it at least thats according to the comments that we heard in the press conference after their meeting in the covenant meeting in bavaria today mackel was very much keep in show more on that topic saying that all she had to say was that varia had a good state premier here and invited her down there today and and that she would not be commenting further on that topic but as you say popularity or rather served as popularity has shot up through the polls particularly during the coronavirus pandemic according to one recent poll more than 60 percent of germans now see marcus as being fit to be the next german chancellor of course he hasnt yet officially thrown his hat in the ring but it seems that the support is there and there were even people waiting outside the palace today down in bavaria with with posters describing him as the next chancellor candidate so where is the support coming from why is it is so popular in germany at the moment across germany at the moment. Well on the 100 not only has he helped to heal some wounds between the 2 conservative policies here in germany but hes also been very prominent during the coronavirus pandemic not only is he the state premier all of bavaria but he also chair as the council all of germany 16 state premiers and so thats been key in how germany has responded to the coronavirus pandemic in the measures in the walk down measures that have been taken but also how theyve been slowly relaxed very early on decided to take some rather drastic what seemed like drastic measures at the time some of the earliest closures of sports clubs and schools that we saw here in germany and at the same time on the other side as we came out slowly of lockdown of the lockdown measures that were imposed here in germany he took a lot more of a cautious tone a lot more cautious rhetoric we heard from him similar again to chancellor Angela Merkel so it seems that they all very much on the same page which is far from what can be said of necessarily for a long time between machall and surges pretty decisive as well so watch this space and see in the coming weeks whether he does indeed throw his hat into the ring to become germanys next chancellor we shall watch this space definitely brady thank you.

Funny for char reports. Californias governor is ordering thousands of businesses to shut down off to briefly reopening restaurants bars some places of worship across americas most popular. State the decision comes after a new surge in reports of covert 19 cases across a number of u. S. States large metropolitan areas in california including los angeles and San Francisco are among those affected. Back to square one california shuts down most of its public life for the 2nd time back in march it was the 1st u. S. State to impose a strict stay at home order even closing down its beaches parks and campsites but now that more is known about how the virus is transmitted the state has shifted its policy allowing Outdoor Activities to continue while closing most indoor facilities today we are announcing additional state wide actions as a relates to our stay at home order here in the state of california we are now effectively rather affective today requiring all counties to close their indoor act tities their indoor operations the governors acting on the fact that nuke over 1000 cases in the state have surpassed 8000 a day more than twice as many as a month ago this could soon overburden hospitals in rural parts of california beyond bars and restaurants the governor has also called for the closing of gyms hair salons churches and nonessential workplaces in most counties but even those lucky enough to work in an area where businesses like these remain open dont know for how long. If we dont make no no money to pay the rent the leno show for 2 so everybody has a problem yeah and also we dont have any income and then the family our family the problem to me with more than 7500000 californians already filing for Unemployment Benefits since the pandemic hit the latest shutdown could mean the final blow for countless livelihoods. Well here are some of the other main developments in the global corona crisis the World Health Organization has warned that the covert 900 pandemic will worsen if countries fail to follow Strict Health care precautions its chief as warned there will be no return to the old normal for the foreseeable future the u.

Mission of the kitchen in the restaurant x. Is this the future of food. Hes an artist and a pizza made by machine. Robots are shaking up the Restaurant Industry all but removing humans from the equation. For some the technology is the ideal antidote to the threat posed by pandemics. Also this is the only way you can actually offer to completely contact us and see if that experience to consumers so. There is a pandemic you can maintain the Business Continuity you can keep Offering Food Service without shutting down. Deficient and hygenic. The makers of this robot say it can learn from its surroundings and even collaborate with kitchen staff staff whose numbers could windell if machine replaces man. But will people still create automated dishes post pandemic. And what about the art of cooking. Not everyone is convinced. And when we automate away the act of cooking preparing presenting and sharing food i deeply believe that we lose a lot thats inherent so that mean all to that experience and to what it really means to feed and be fed. Food connoisseurs may turn their noses up at robotic chefs but some believe they could become a necessity. Well lets hope not this is the wu news heres a reminder of all top story this hour.
