Dominating this years Munich Security Conference where officials from around the world attacking the biggest questions in International Affairs big names that among those addressing participants this saturday were the u. S. Secretary of state mike pompei oh and frances president mccrone the 1st go there as promised the people of our europe correspondent for missing it in the very capital hey yeah a lot of big names there and conflicting views from either side of the atlantic about how the west is fairing right now to. Indeed will come to those in just a minute because in the past few moments the Russian Foreign minister has just finished his address fact is currently taking questions right now on the stage but in that address is the law for all of said that russia was critical of what it sees to rewrite history when it comes to the 2nd world war he said that in this year the 75th anniversary of the end of world war 2 it was well the idea. Alliance was as important now as it being then he went on to talk about sanctions and protectionism being the key on the lies in destabilizing the world order at the moment it was a very rapid fire address for mr lavrov he fired through a whole load of different topics and he said talked about the the european side said that there was a well if they said that there was a crisis of trust there we have heard a lot from the european side at this security conference saying they wanted to have closer ties or at least try to attempt to have closer ties with russia mr lavrov saying this in europe they say nato expansion and military exercises of a 3rd of proportion right on russias borders well earlier on saturday we heard from french president in my new in my column he said it was important that europe had more autonomy when it came to defense so they could act independently of the United States. In one year when the point that we can see that there is a certain weakening of the west that has been observed 15 years ago we thought of ronnies would be universal values that would always ruled world i think were facing the hour of truth here we have a lot in common with the United States freedom and so on so this is why we fight together numerous was but is not quite what america wants we need to develop our own strategy. For us secretary of state my pompei always putting forward the view of washington he rejected that the idea that this be. The role of western nations on the world stage needed to evolve. To report that the death of the Transatlantic Alliance is grossly over exaggerated. The west is winning we are collectively winning the west is winning freedom and democracy are winning or winning the west will win lets keep out lets keep winning. Well both my palm peo and u. S. Secretary of defense mark esper gauged in quite a little bit of china bashing during their time at this stage they were critical of chinas actions in terms of its Economic Development also in terms of technologies that make us particularly critical of the chinese firm weiwei that was followed up of course by the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs wang he described these claims by the u. S. Side as world he said they were allies adding they always say the same thing wherever they go these accusations were not based in fact so thats the latest from here at Munich Security Conference still plenty to come though over the weekend don as you say the questions at the moment the Russian Foreign minister paid for now thank you also there the french president offering his thoughts on the economic penalties imposed on russia beginning 2014 and he also went on to identify several areas we thought there was scope for greater cooperation with moscow. I dont think we should lift the sanctions im just saying that the sanctions and counter sanctions didnt really work out we europeans suffer as much from the sanctions as the russians do in our Strategic Dialogue with russia we must take the opportunity to frozen conflicts and address cyber issues and talk about space and the militarization of space we also need to be able to talk about addressing conflicts like syria im not pro russian or anti russian im just pro european if you look at the geographic facts we need to build a Security Architecture based on mutual trust that certainly europe has to open talks to all powers in the world is the only way to exist to china russia and the United States and be a sort of a neutral police dealing with all these larger powers now we are not in this division of the west and the rest and a sort of imposition of International Order the stone the agreements of alpha this is all over the world these multiple or there are powers which are reclaiming their role like china and russia its the same level like the western countries so this is something difficult for the European Union to each is to redefine its reason to exist in its aids. The biggest digital defense contract in American History has been put on ice Online Retail giant amazon is taking on the pentagon in court after washington gave the 10000000000. 00 deal to rival microsoft a lawsuit argues donald trump was biased in his decision against dams and supreme a jeff bezos in a feud between them stretching back to trumps 1st president ial campaign. He wants political influence so that amazon will benefit from it if i become president oh do they have problems take it outside of my view is thats not an appropriate way for a president ial candidate to behave or using the Washington Post for power so that the politicians in washington dont tax amazon like they should be taxed finally tracked by donald trump will still reserve him a seat on the blue origin rocket send donald to space so sorry to hear about the news about jeff bozo being taken down by competitor reporting i understand is far more accurate than the reporting in his lobbyist newspaper the amazon Washington Post. At the end of last year bezos stressed the importance of the military project with the pentagon but nexus kellam open report sees no hindering on the deal one by microsoft. Remember when jeff bezos called out his tech rivals for not stepping up to the plate when the country needs protecting and my view is is big tech is going to turn their backs on the department of defense this country is in trouble this is how were going to do it we are going to support the department of foods this country is important the Silicon Valley tech giants love to walk hand in hand with the pentagon but their employees not so much google workers protested a Program UsingArtificial Intelligence for drones and microsoft employees have voiced their concerns about a 10000000000. 00 contract with the pentagon to offer Cloud Services but lucky enough for the department of defense amazon led by jeff bezos americas richest man has stepped up to the plate they say amazon is happy to do business with the pentagon were going to continue to support the d. O. D. This is a great country and it does need to be defended so it turns out that when amazon didnt get that contract 8 and microsoft got it instead they as ows was angry he took it to court citing bias from donald trump the preservation of Public Confidence in the nations procurement process requires discovery and supplementation of the administrative record particularly in light of president trumps order to screw amazon the question is whether the president of the United States should be allowed to use the budget of the department of defense to pursue his own personal and political and but the irony is that jeff bezos with his legal action as double crossed the very same entity he swore to protect as a result of the lawsuit the entire program which the pentagon says is necessary for National Security has been put on a hold the military brass is unhappy were disappointed in the ruling and believe the actions taken in this litigation have unnecessarily delayed implementing department of defenses modernization strategy. Deprived our war fighters of a set of capabilities they are generally mean the Us Department of defense says it will lose 5. 00 to 7000000. 00 every month the program is the lead users changing as opinion in a way that serves as pocketbook is not necessarily or may serve a spark of book is not particularly a surprise i think theres a debate to be had on the degree to which these social media Tech Companies and Search Companies are able to sway the assuage problem opinion change Public Opinion restrict debate these are big issues that i think are the balance when people think about it or theres going to be a drive i believe a populist drive to lessen the power of big tech the cuts across the political spectrum well apparently for the worlds richest man the country only needs National Security protection when hes getting a share of the Defense Budget caleb happen r. T. New york. University of virginia in the us is coming for sharp criticism online after one of his students claimed to many white people using a Multicultural Community center on campus or videos posted on social media words garnered nearly 4000000 views partly theres just too many white people in here this is these are people of color so lets be really harmless they are the space that youre taking because it does make some of us feels comfortable with easy to anyway when youre the whole point of multiculturalism is for diversity that includes all cultures but the university of virginias new Multicultural Student Center is apparently just for people of color thats not multiculturalism thats racism imagine if you white person stood up and announced there were too many black people in the room and the mic other white people uncomfortable how is this not considered racism. To many white people so this is why so many of our ancestors fought and died for freedom and equality just so we can have a blacks only area really. The center was opened in late 2016 with a view to supporting under represented the marginalized communities but conservative students say this video just saw documents a clear case of racial intolerance forcing the university then to clarify that everyone is welcome it said facility is small reaction from legal and social commentators. The video is crazy but what it is it shows to me is that multicultural just means quote unquote people of color now why is it doesnt really mean cultures which is what i would think that it means it should be a space for everybody in college but it is not really seem to be that way at least to some students that were right there in the center even if it were not a Multicultural Center and it were lets say a black area or an asian area or an expanding area you see a b. Star and so exclude certain people everybody should be welcome in these particular spaces the cuckoos will say because if youre not welcomed them are going back to time in a pass of segregation and jim crow and separation and i dont think we want to go backwards in time we want to go forwards in time if you want to have a place where people learn to be more tolerant one of the key aims of such a place is supposed to be explaining everyone can come here and everyone is going to be tolerated it apparently is the case that not just this center but the university communicated that there are places that are preferred for some racial groups over other racial groups and that is in fact not a marketing problem not a language problem but a fundamental rejection of what our country stands for every american is local regardless of their racial group and as long as the u. P. A. Is a taxpayer funded institution it not only must adhere to that it ought to be championing that. France now theres been a major plot twist to the french equivalent of the oscars the entire says our academy has quit just 2 weeks before this his glittering ceremony in paris correspondent china dubin ski explains why. This is a would see as being played by. Allegations from a lack of diversity in the candidates weve been using that has sag over the last couple years aspect oscar so why this year the oscars they havent you have say oscars wider than ever do a lack of the fairer sex hollywood is stuck in the 1970 s. The criticisms a may have been like water off a ducks back of the boards of the british and american academies but here in france theyve taken its heart 2 weeks before the french oscars are due to take place in toilet bowl it has resigned to honor those men and women cinema happened in 2019 to find call and ensure that the festival film remains just that a festival the board has an animist we decided to resign this collective decision will allow complete renewal of the board this is a new name here in france have come under fire off it was revealed the convicted child rapist and fugitive from the us Justice System polanski topped the nominations list the director who fled to france in the 1970 s. Received the nords for his historical drama but. She says its only. Because. The film has received rave reviews from the critics and even had a standing ovation for its premiere at the Venice Film Festival the feminist groups have picketed some of those premiers after they found out that if this is up they would feel to celebrate an abuser like polanski is to support the system of a punitive for male violence and silence the voices of the victims the riaa would then deepened when hundreds of actors directors movie produces and personalities demanded profound changes the says to me they were unhappy off to a female director and the female writer was snubbed in an open letter to the academy they did not stay. As being dysfunctional with the screws tightening the board took the decision to disband but even that decision has come under fire imagine what happens next new college of voters with our male selfesteem opacity and sexism who will eventually stop cheering the rapist peter criminals on the run so how has it gone down here in paris is a film more important than those who make it its something. I believe the story of polanski is ridiculous its existed for 30 or 40 years dont they have anything to do except protest is there nothing else in france now really. More soft in my opinion the 2 figures are United Artists and men season indulge so he should assume the consequences of his actions. This is to me this is a board resigned rate for them and maybe these resignations can fix the issues and this is what im hoping for the actors the artists or the directors for everyone. But i think he has an artistic side beyond comparison with other artists from the human point of view its not good what he did but its past and we cant mix the aspects. Story rumbles on chinas now accusing the u. S. Of deliberately forcing its companies out of the Global Market as washington ramps up the pressure on telecoms way with 16 new charges now including conspiracy to steal secrets the us has been misusing its National Power to oppress Chinese Companies with no proof of any wrongdoing such practice is disgraceful and immoral and it is beneath the status of the us as a major country. Well u. S. Prosecutors allege that while we as engage the Systematic Campaign they say to steal intellectual property from at least 6 u. S. Companies since 1990 you can see if in there they also claim staff were encouraged to actively obtain Sensitive Information from competitors including codes and manuals and then fresh charges were made under a federal law which bizarrely you may think has been historically used to prosecute mafia members really the which way of course along the way. As long but under pressure from the trumpet ministration which is accused of spying on behalf of beijing and along the way while way has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing including with this whole thing over 5 g. In the u. K. It also said the latest charges are without merit suggesting the u. S. Is simply trying to remove a serious competitive despite the u. S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi doubled down on the latest american allegations. China is seeking to exploit its digital autocracy through its Telecommunications Telephone giants while a threatening economic would tell the nation against those who deny. Their technology this is the most insidious form of question this is a Major Development thats going to have far reaching implications its very clear that Trump Administration the department of justice wants to implicate. Broadly as a criminal organization and one has to ask what what are the what are the broader implications does that mean if its part of the Chinese Government as the as the u. S. Claims that the Chinese Government is a criminal organization or that if you do business with wall way that you are doing business with a criminal organization what were looking at here is it is a new step forward in terms of Great Power Competition or cold war 2. 0 or decoupling what do you know pick asians for these Major Global Companies that are doing business in china in other words the United States costly makes allegations that the chinese judiciary is highly politicized what happens if it becomes tit for tat it could have a very compelling. Outcome for both you know at the International Level but at the at the economic level in terms of the specific industries.
