a handful of swing states donald trump's most recent rally was in michigan the baidu in china wins when we win i barack go with. what a 16 michigan voted to fire this corrupt political establishment the new elected an outsider as your president who is finally putting america 1st. and i don't sound like a typical washington politician it's because i'm not a politician. and i don't always play by the rules of washington of the washington establishment is because i was elected to fight for you and nobody has ever fought harder for you. john hendren was at that rally he explains why michigan could be so important. or maybe as a state they don't trump won by the narrowest of margins in the entire united states the closes margin was right here where he won by 0.2 percentage points as about 10000 votes that's one of votes he can pick up with just a little exposure in this state and you know that he is going to be here today he's going to come back twice again tomorrow joe biden has been here yesterday so very candidates both recognize the importance of michigan 10 people have been killed as a powerful typhoon sweeps through the philippines the storm called goni is the strongest to hit the region this year submerging several villages and destroying homes heavy rain and winds of up to 280 kilometers per hour were recorded in eastern parts of the country hundreds of thousands of people a fled their homes. incumbent president on a somewhat a ha has taken an early lead in ivory coast's election winning in 20 of $108.00 electoral districts the country's opposition which boycotted the poll says it was not a free nor fair there are fears of more unrest after at least 5 people were killed during clashes on election day amid reese is in a budget he says the opposition candidate prescott. is calling for a civil transition. the position of his party and the opposition is such that they condemned the election as a flagrant abuse of the constitution or creation by what he called the illegal candidacy of president alyson water while talking about the election he said the election commission was never free and fair to all parties involved and that there were no local observers enough local of the street sure that these votes are credible free and fair he claimed that 30 people although we are hearing stories from other media or from other sources that between 2 and 4 people were killed in the election violence yesterday. your son says 30 people have been killed during the election and of course up to 100 have been killed since what are announced his candidacy he said officially they have recognized that the term of office of president water and that yesterday and that ivory coast will need a transitional government to organize free and fair elections to lead the country to democracy he is calling also on ivorians to stop president water from proclaiming himself as president just as these votes. are being counted at the election commission in various places especially in the capital as i shan't president has insisted russia shouldn't get involved in his country's conflict with armenia meeting with turkey's foreign minister said his forces and not threatening armenian territory both sides are accusing each other of targeting residential areas just days after they agreed with international mediators not to hit civilians . do stay with us the truth about 5 g. is up next morning after i finish. all over. the last man. if you want it why don't. you give me if you don't understand it. not have any. around the world and you protest movement is starting fear and anger. its fight is against the new generation of wireless technology known as 5 g. it's predicted to change our lives and this is going to allow a home revolution the way we live and all denies ourselves. it's going to really change the world because 5 g. can do things that 4 g. could never do. it really is going to be a game changer. despite its great promise opposition to 5 g. has in some places turned violent. suggest. it's fuel conspiracy theories that have quickly spilled from online into the real world by g. bloody murder. and they're a much bigger forces play. i think would be naive if we did not recognize the possibility that some of these crimes being generated by hostile governments while protest as rail against 5 g.'s spread another threat is looming a global technology war the race to fight jews are racists america must win it's a race that we will win this film investigates wants behind the growing global backlash against. 5 g. and why the world superpowers are vying for 5 g. dominance. story begins in a small town in a strange community where followers of a come to a cultural lifestyle tend to gather and this is a story that's also being played out in many other countries across the world. to me is a very diverse community it is a very old town a new farm here a lot of people that savvy very deep mistrust of government very health oriented and so a lot of organic natural foods here in n.c. g.m. b.n.c. fracking movement is probably the the n.t. backs capital of the strangers if not the western world. today they gathering for a protest campaigning on a variety of issues most of the people here to protest against 5 g. . i know not. how. well. that's hard to understand the marches reach their goal the town's sole telecommunications town. for months protesters have targeted this tower as the plans to upgrade it to the 5 g. network. they. say. the process is here or if that radio signals from 5 g. towns could be damaging their health not. and one of the human leverett. because that's what's happened that they're just using us to see if the climate was going to be ok and if we do i want to put so many of this. because i'm a warrior but i will keep us in the future. it's not going to have to get 5 g.'s safe enough. till strick operation is in a straight line telecoms provider which is planning to upgrade the town's most but for the last 3 months it's faced round the clock opposition including from sherry yeomans and her dog bundy. protecting the town to telstra my being a cherry picker we know the neighbor cherry pick out to upgrade to 5 j. so there's quite a time of us tag teaming a couple of miles for hours arriving not to protect the town from anywhere except. in march 2020 activists claimed victory when the local council passed a resolution calling for a halt to the upgrade but then stopped working on the town i think for telstra to roll out the installation of 5 j joining a pandemic in mullumbimby you know it was it was it i'm sure i thought they were very clever doing that but. i think it was a really bad move and i think it really played into people's paranoia around this and i and the conspiracy theory in that you know this is all moved to you know into the institute of technology that. is potentially. these types of protests are taking place across australia and the rest of the world telecommunications companies are spending vast amounts of money building networks that they say will transform how we live and work with no risk to our health. it's a battle for hearts and minds with telecoms companies aiming to convince consumers of the benefits of 5 g. what we're looking at here is a us with a 4 g. device and we're talking about downloading an edge the movie in minutes but this is 5 g. technology 5 g. is much higher internet speeds in existing technology what we can do is download an edge to movie in seconds so minutes versus seconds that's kind of the difference between the 2 technologies and is that absolutely how fast this is going to ever get this is only the beginning it's going to be twice 3 times faster than this in the next few years. 5 g. promise is a future where everything is high speed and interconnected from autonomous emergency response vehicles to drone technology. and remote surgery. just imagine a paramedic with far too technology you could for example have the paramedic using a pair of you know better reality glasses so what that paramedic sees you could transmit back to a specialist back in the hospital the person can then look at the patient as if they were there they can provide advice they can even send an instruction which you could be displayed on a heads up screen and that's the kind of thing which you can do in real time on 5 g. which you can today do in 40. 5 days not just about phone calls and ever increasing resolution of videos it's going to unlock the internet of things and this is where machines start metod talking to machines and this is going to allow a whole revolution in the way we we live and organize ourselves for example the smart city. coordinating traffic flow which is going to have safety benefits is going to have a mission benefits and beyond traffic is going to be coordinating air conditioning in buildings coordinating lighting in buildings all sorts of things when machines start sensing the environment and actions can be taken. to deliver the fastest speeds phone companies need to use higher frequency signals known as millimeter waves that millimeter wave signals can travel as fast as existing signals so for it to work there's a need for many more antennas installed much closer together. we would deploy a millimeter wave in a c.b.d. for example where there is a lot of traffic what it would probably look like to see would probably see a sell side in most street corners but because it is at that high frequency the antennas themselves are very small and almost invisible. at the heart of the health concerns expressed by 5 g. activists is what's called radio frequency radiation emitted by everything from radios t.v.'s and microwave ovens to why fine networks and mobile phones. activists fear that more antennas mean more of this radiation and that it will cause problems ranging from anxiety to epilepsy and brain cancer. do we want this do we want these towers blotting out do we need more radiation do we want. has asked for the consultation we're going to be a radiations suit that we cannot opt out of so at the moment we have choices once. it's implemented we no longer have any choice we are in a soup of radiation that we cannot escape. hardly audio frequency current comes from a crash. here that. saturday's my concerns about radiation have been around for more than 100 years in such a manner as to produce waves which travel through here doctors 1st wrote about what they called radio phobia as early as 903 to describe people who were afraid of radio speak yet anxiety is about power lines in the 1980 s. it was the radiation emitted by power lines they're invisible and just about everywhere do we play russian roulette with people's children should you be taking steps to keep your. the way from electromagnetic fields microwave cooking you know like those in the nasa lunar receiving laboratory there was a very big community concern when microwave ovens came out. it rises faster than you can eat it there was concern that food being cooked in it would be poisonous this is cooking by microwave cooking without. wind mobile phones came out there was concern in the public as we moved from 1st generation to 2nd generation or 2 g. phones from 2 g. to 3 g. 3 to 4 g. and now 4 g. to 5 g. we tend to get another wife of concern from the public end and that's not linked to important changes to what the actual technology is doing the actual physical agent the radiation that's being emitted by these devices is essentially the same as it so why is bain and essentially the same is as we've had around with radio for instance am an f.m. radio if many used to get you to hold on to the front of the cat. well i get the rest of the professor croft is chairman of the key international body that recommends safe exposure limits for radio frequency radiation this is one of the most researched physical agents in the world they're just thousands and thousands of papers out there that have gone into everything from epidemiology of cancer to simple doesn't make you feel bad agitated because the symptoms of any had any for. now but i'm going to get you to memory tasks that we were doing oh we believe there are get under the bar tree conditions tests are run on the effects of radio frequency radiation on humans. this test is simulating the radiation emitted by mobile phones. what we're really doing is setting people up putting electrodes on their heads looking at the brain activity the electrical activity caused by the brain and whether it's being influenced by the mobile oftens when we started we were looking for large changes in the brain thinking it could be a real problem but we just don't find as we don't see any changes in brain cancer which is something that we often hear activists complain about and. there's probably thousands of claims out there and none of them have actually bore any fruit in terms of being able to demonstrate that there is an adverse health effects due to mobile phone usage some people also say that particularly for the millimeter wave technology there is concern because it will mean more antennas all over the place and therefore more radiation out in the atmosphere that we will be exposed to what do you think about that claim. so far the research suggests that it's just not the case generally what what you do is you have more antennas so that you can reduce the reduce the actual exposure. the further you are from an antenna the more the antenna has to work the more energy it has to pump into the environment so it tests comparing for instance the latest roll out of 5 g. against 4 g. finds very similar levels and i'm not so the levels are generally about. 100 to a 1000 times lower than a permitted by the guidelines they are exceedingly small this is one of our labs and we're the only company here in australia that can do mobile phone testing radiation testing manufacture this. this laboratory tests how much radio frequency radiation is emitted by devices like mobile phones using highly specialized equipment that imitates the human body this set up here represents all it's simulating a human head we've put down on at the bottom of the table here that represents the year the phone starting the year and we've got this liquid that simulates the body mass and tissue within our head and this is going in at different parts of our head and measuring radio frequency energy coming out of the mobile phone and how much of that is being absorbed by our body tissue what we need to do this test this is the test that mobile phone manufacturer need to do to make sure that radio frequency energy coming out of their phone is meeting the australian government rules and regulation and limits that of those energies so in other words to make sure the fungicide absolutely to make sure that the phones are say to be used by general population. humans are commonly exposed to 2 types of radiation ionizing radiation which includes x. rays and known ionizing radiation which includes the radio frequency emissions for mobile phones or the 5 g. network. we know that tylenol is in radiation cause a lot of health effects not just cancer but other effects as well so you know that's clearly something that people would be concerned about you know radio frequency is in what's called the nano on eyes in. wavelengths of of radiation so it doesn't cause damage to genetic material and so on sorry but i think people here radiation and they think that you know it's something that's going. could potentially be harmful. the science of radio frequency radiation is highly contentious much of the concern stems from a landmark 2011 review by the world health organization looking at previous studies of the effects of mobile phone radiation malcolm sim was one of the authors we were invited from all different parts of the world to come together to review all of the scientific evidence so you now have you now particular area of expertise so my my area was primarily the human studies that have been performed. the w.h.o. routinely evaluates and classify substances that can cause cancer group one classification means carcinogenic to humans it includes alcohol and tobacco. group to a means probably consonant genic and includes red meat and very hot drinks. to be is possibly constant agenda includes things like car exhausts but also some contraceptive pills and pickled vegetables the expert panel decided to classify at radio frequency radiation in group 2 being. a group included taking the human evidence and the animal evidence together that there was limited evidence of radio frequency causing cancer in humans ready. i mean you've got a whole lot of scientists from around the world each with their own perspective on the dietary and often dial have their own interpretation and so there was not universal agreement about it being a classified as group today they were there was some members of the group who. thought it should be allowed a classification that but the majority view was that they should be should be a group to pay carcinogen so it was picked up by a lot of media outlets at the time and there was a strong sense that yes this mating had shown that yes it was cause a cause of cancer in humans but that wasn't justified well i think it you need to understand the why that these things are classified sorry this is from our point of view of the people reviewing the evidence it was very limited evidence there we've looked at other compounds where the evidence is incredibly strong and consistent and you know they you very worried about them as a cause of cancer am the w.h.o. laser issued information about managed. the potential risk of mobile phone radiation. and so the approach at that time was for charger recommend a precautionary approach to take steps to reduce exposure the man exposure is when it's very close to your head so use a hands free device used to find that sort of thing when using the phone. i don't think the classification was very significant it's certainly been significant in terms of people's concern. to obtain that classification they don't require any research to demonstrate that mobile phones actually cause cancer what's required is that there is an association identified between cancer and mobile phone usage if you jamie logically that could mean one of 2 things it could mean that there is an association related to my boffo news or it could just mean that there is a spurious association and the subsequent research just hasn't shown that there is any relationship. the covert 19 pandemic supercharged activism around the 5 g. rollout in sydney australia and vax is anti lock down protestors bar right conspiracy theorists and anti 5 g. campaign as have united under the banner of freedom of choice. they've 19 how to cause an explosion in public no and probably don't make any hunkering down under house arrest made in a way they have taken today compared to us and think out of the question many of them for the 1st time. a registered nurse naomi cook helps run an anti by g facebook group one with an ever growing membership. if you are watching to go by j. . this means you don't understand it nothing else matters anymore. was . the architecture of thank you we saw in the 1st 2 weeks of lockdown an explosion in group members and i guess the most obvious reason for that is that people were at home and they had time to think and they had time to ask questions that perhaps they didn't have the headspace to do before that and then through asking their own questions and doing their own research perhaps some of them had the same concerns that we have about 5 g. and so they joined our groups and what sort of numbers did you say we went from probably around 8000 members 240000 in the 1st couple of weeks of lockdown. the number of anti 5 g. facebook groups changes all the time so the exact figure is uncertain what is clear is that this is an international movement heavily reliant on social media you know it's amazing it's all been completely spontaneous self organizing cross race and so there's no kind of rulebook that we go by but it what we do. we'll respect each other and there is no one single leader of this movement what world latest you know everyone has. and yeah so you know quite often someone wishes something in one group then it gets reset and another group. and to gather when a spread. rather coming up the claim by anti 5 g. conspiracy theorists linking new mobile phone technology with the covert 19 pandemic and the reaction to this claim from public health leaders base unfortunately a lot of very silly misinformation that day there is absolutely no evidence that 5 g. doing anything in the coronavirus by simon unfortunately for saved a lot of communication from these

of the top stories on our syria the race to be u.s. president is entering its last 48 hours with both candidates picking up the pace of the campaign president trump is holding rallies in a total of 5 states on sunday on his opponent joe biden will target pennsylvania but more than $93000000.00 people have already voted early a record total and one which posters think favors the democrats joe biden is maintaining a lead in national polls but the result could come down to a handful of swing states john hendren was at a rally and explains why michigan could be important. or maybe it is a state they don't try and one by the narrowest of margins in the entire united states the closes margin was right here we won by 0.2 percentage points as about 10000 votes that's a lot of votes he can pick up with just a little exposure in this state and you know that he is going to be here today he's going to come back twice again tomorrow joe biden has been here yesterday so very candidates both recognize the importance of michigan 10 people have been killed as a powerful typhoon sweeps through the philippines the storm called goni is the strongest to hit the region this year submerging several villages and destroying homes heavy rain and winds of up to 280 kilometers per hour recorded in eastern part of the country hundreds of thousands of people have fled their homes incumbent president allison water has taken early lead in ivory coast's election winning in 20 of $108.00 electoral districts of the country's opposition which boycotted the poll says it was neither free nor fair there are fears of more unrest after at least 5 people were killed during clashes on election day. is in a butcher he says the opposition candidate. is calling for a civil transition as about jon's president has insisted russia shouldn't get involved in his country's conflict with armenia with turkey's foreign minister. said his forces are not threatening armenian territory both sides are accusing each other of targeting residential areas just days after they agreed that international mediators not to hit civilians. there's a top stories do stay with us the truth about 5 g. continues next on the back of the news hour after that. the health of humanity is at stake a global pandemic requires a global response. w.h.o. is the guardian of global health delivering lifesaving to school supplies and training to help the world's most found mobile people uniting across borders to speed up the development of test treatments and a vaccine working with scientists and health workers to learn all we can about the virus keeping you up to date with what's happening on the ground in the ward and in the land advocating for everyone to have access to essential health services now more than ever the world needs w.h.o. making a healthy a world for you in. everyone. in the. telecoms providers across the world are gearing up for 5 g. the fastest internet connection yet one the promises to revolutionize many lives. at the same time a global movement in opposition to 5 g.'s taken off driven by social media conspiracy theorists and other protest as belief 5 g. must be stopped at all costs some say causes cancer others that it's a deep state mind control experiment others still link it to coronavirus a claim lacking scientific evidence. recent online posts from one and t. 5 g. group include a strategy on how to lobby your doctor over 5 g. members of the group also regularly share some of the most extreme conspiracy theories about 5 g. on the internet technology. your and i like. your world more new. to me than you. are doing your weapon already. in australia protest as against 5 g. teamed up with an anti vaccination group. so is the joint rally a deliberate strategy to make it look like far more people were interested in each of the arabs than was actually the case who that's sad no these were separate groups with very important issues that they were passionate about uniting them one day yeah no i don't think so i mean certainly you know in our groups for example we never said this was a 5 g. rally you know no i don't think so you'd have to be pretty dishonest to do something like that so i don't think it was a strategy it was any strategy i've didn't sniff out anything like that. these protesters of united around a range of benefits from anti vaccination to 5 g. and some have an eye on politics. i'm livin is crying all the time so as all movement gras is having a political party almost create a pot full and that may be conducive to bringing about change so from that perspective i think is a very bad way to tackle the 5 g. problem. i think for the n.t. 5 g. groups but also many other conspiracy theorists a pandemic like this a crisis like this is very useful to draw attention to their cause because they can link the pandemic in this case with whatever they causes whether it's 5 g. whether it's anti vaccination whether it's on the typical conspiracy stories so they can connect this crisis with whatever it is that they're focusing on and say aha we knew it all along something was coming here it is now and so no you must listen to us because we've been correct all along what. the coincidental arrival of covert 19 and the rollout of 5 g. networks sparked a surprising conspiracy theory that corona virus was caused by 5 g. the theory soon went viral around the world. its 1st known appearance online was in january 2020 when this was posted on twitter. disease in ruhani city of 8500000 people han has 5000 plus 5 g. base stations now and 50000 by 2021 is it a disease or is it 5 g.b. . and it was picked up just over a week later by the far right conspiracy theory website info was it made the jump to a larger audience 5 g. causes flu like symptoms. interesting. by february the level of misinformation about corona virus was so great the united nations warned of an inflow demick frankly it was spreads fast and more easily than this virus and is just as dangerous. within weeks the 5 g. conspiracy theory gathered more traction when it was raised by a controversial us dr thomas cowan at an anti vaccination conference there has been a dramatic and quantum leap in the last 6 months for the electrification of the earth and i'm sure a lot of you know what that is it's called 5 g. cowan was on probation like after being found guilty in 2017 of unprofessional conduct by the medical board of california and i'll finish with anybody want to make one just as to where the 1st completely play kitted 5 g. sitting in the world was. exactly. so when you start thinking about this we are in an existential crisis here folks. days later this video of the late show was promoted by u.s. pop singer keri hilson to have 4200000 followers on twitter. then rapper wiz khalifa fueled the conspiracy theory with a tweet to his 36000000 followers other celebrities shared the theory to putting woody harrelson john hewson and m.i.a. . celebrities really become super spreaders and over this they have millions if not tens of millions of followers via their various social media accounts. and so once they start posting about these conspiracy theories even critically that makes them much more visible and reaches a much larger and more diverse audience. hi guys do you have that i may tell you. that you well soon the conspiracy theory make the leap from online to the real world to him think of it as if i'm g. technicians in the u.k. began reporting being abused and threatened with violence. that you know you're doing a length fighting. evil lies that a. lot of. us going to the. next 25 g. activists began burning phone telus. by may 2020 more than 70 mobile phone towers have been attacked in the u.k. and more than a dozen more across europe north america new zealand and australia soon a sick joke. for. government the new world order. to terrorism place of a drawer seen following international attacks on fine detail was linked to conspiracy theories the 5 g. networks bridge coronavirus. has caused extensive damage to a fine terrilyn monette self. at one and down 5 g. was again linked to corona virus. hello everyone. this prompted a sharp response from public health latest round of arson days unfortunately a lot of very silly misinformation out there there is absolutely no evidence about 5 g. doing anything in the current of our spice i am not unfortunately. saved a lot of communication from these conspiracy theories miso of it is complete nonsense 5 g. has got nothing at all to do with corona virus. this investigation suggests the global spread of misinformation about 5 g. is no accident there's growing concern that more sinister players may be involved and that some governments may have exploited the movement for their own interests. there is misinformation circulating about 5 g. including the entirely fallacious crime that it has adverse health impacts and more recently the crime that it's linked in any way to covenanting or the corona virus and i'm making the relighted point that it is well accepted by commentators and experts in the subject of misinformation and disinformation that there are known state actors involved in circulating and generating disinformation. and what sort of interests what that did it creates division it creates disruptions it creates protests it creates possibly move people disobey ing and lockdown orders and the social distancing orders and of course that then further. damages the economy damage damages the population in the 1st place by by spreading the virus further so it weakens ultimately the countries that they're addressing. the original tweet linking 5 g. to corona virus came from and anonymous account that regularly posts pro russian government content that tweet link to an article by the russian state owned news outlet. formerly known as russia today. is there a catch there is just a small one it might kill you good to know so you archie america has broadcast widely discredited health fields about 5 g. it just really sold as is being awesome but the downside is that with this rollout it will be impossible to exist in a city or to walk outside without being exposed. another source of anti 5 g. misinformation is a candidate based conspiracy website global research which has been accused of spreading russian and chinese propaganda. one global research claim is that 5 g. is quote a weapon system disguised as a consumer convenience and might be quote killing all the insects. i think would be naive if we did not recognize the possibility that some of these crimes are being generated by a hostile government or by others who have a motive to try and create instability. and disorder in. democracies like australia we know that d.c. information and misinformation has been an issue in elections in other countries and so that cannot be ruled out in my view as a possible driver of some of this some particular people in relation to this issue of talked about russia potentially being interested in doing that would you agree that that's a possibility i'm not going to be commenting on any individual nation i simply make the general point that it is pretty well accepted in the commentary and analysis on this issue that there are there's a high likelihood that state actors are involved and when you look at something which is entirely without any scientific basis and where there appears to be. a systematic effort to try and. rise concerns that are in fact without substance this appears to be what is occurring or at least one of the factors in relation to misinformation and disinformation in relation to 5. is the better. way to. look with a good environment of maturity explore thoughts. we are leading by so much for the world superpowers 5 to use developing into a major technological arms race the race to 5 g. is a race america must win and it's a race frankly that our great companies are now involved in we've given them the incentive they need it's a race that we will win because as you know some people got ahead of us we should have been doing this a long time ago. in the race for technology dominance a new leader. is emerging china is on the rise. if we think about technology innovation we think about us silicon valley and yet there is seems to be a sense that u.s. is not ask comparative at the moment. there are communities in the u.s. thinking that china is beating us america's lunch it is losing a technological advantage it is looking losing markets it is losing also influenced . some security specialists fear that a 5 g. world dominated by china make of it the ability to shut down entire countries in times of conflict. what are the potential vulnerabilities for a country with 5 g.b. when everything in our society relies upon connected technologies for mass or for markets to our electricity generation and distribution to our hospitals our traffic lights banking and finance mains if those technologies fail or are turned off that would have catastrophic consequences you would lose lives there is no doubt in the most extreme end of the scenario. the us is traditional rival russia has chosen its side in 2019 president putin announced a major deal with the chinese tech giant while waiting for 5 g. equipment. there answering money is a town that's pushing her away from the global market some call it the 1st technological of the new digital era. while we was founded by chinese billionaire wrenching fake form a civil engineer with the chinese people's liberation army. the company has grown to become a global leader in 5 g. technology even showing off its prowess by rolling out 5 g. on mt everest. whatever you say well everyone knows that we have a world leader when it comes to fight. we spend billions of dollars in research and development by the time 5 j came around we were clear later but in aug $2801.00 ways attempt to break into the a straight the in 5 g. market was thwarted by a government decision. chinese tech died while away has been effectively banned from building a status 5 g. network because of national security concerns australia banned high risk vendors for vendors 3rd domiciled in high risk countries of which clearly china is one because of its national security laws that compel organizations domiciled there to cooperate with and assist their intelligence agencies. the reality is that if we were to have high risk vendor was from trying or in this context who provided our 5 g. technology the technology that underpins the network and fit in if it builds the network that would give them the capability if they chose to very seriously and gravely disrupt our our economy and infrastructure. industrial activities economic activities financial activities it's a it is it would be it's a very very profound capability. central to the israeli and government's concerns was a 2017 chinese law that compels companies to support provide assistance and cooperate in national intelligence work if you believe that there is a risk that you could get into a conflict you know a time of tension a time of conflict where pressure may be sought to be bought brought upon you then you've got to say well we'll just hague there and we won't have those hard risk vendors providing 5 g. in australia so it's not identifying a smoking gun it's identifying a loaded gun. we've had legal advice inside china and outside china sees that that law doesn't pertain to us it's directed at operators rather than vendors but even if it was and we were asked by the chinese government to do something to go against our customers rein our founder of syria he would say no he would rather see the company fold over noite then actually do anything to risk the trust that we have by our customers no matter what our way no matter what the management think they will not be making the decision ultimately if the communist party leadership in beijing decide they want y. our way or to want to use his capabilities in a manner that is adverse to australia it will happen. australia was the 1st country in the world to ban while away from its 5 g. network weiwei has blamed pressure from the united states. mr prime minister thank you very much the. united states has been very public about the call for countries to ban while why we know when prime minister malcolm turnbull went to washington in february of 2006 months before the while why ban the us and boys team but i did not want y.-y. in australia as far i mean i was so adamant in it it was late to the media at the time so essentially the saying you belted to us pressure did you know said that that is completely untrue in fact the 5 g. issue was raised by me. with the americans and that was that that is that is that assertion by our way is utterly false. it was raised by me when i was in discussions with the administration and it was something that we made a point about it was of a matter of very keen interest to us but i want to say the proposition that we were directed or advised to keep out of network by the us is simply not true we convince many countries the u.s. has banned huawei from its 5 g. network as has the u.k. from 2027 and donald trump others to follow it's an unsafe security risk it's a big security risk there's no u.s. company that does wallace so what we're saying is the u.s. asking can trace to essentially ports and white for a catch up because there's a gap between the u.s. ability to do wallace technology and companies like. the west really in an absence of mind allowed it's related in wallace technology to be lost and that was a massive failure. of the. west and particularly obviously in washington where i work excuse the pun asleep at the switch. the promise of 5 g. was to create a more connected world instead one of the biggest technology revolutions in a century but leave it even more divided. at the extreme the concern is that this technological competition or tech war can result in so-called technological iron curtain where we have a technology divide world where certain countries will use chinese provided technology and others who won't so there will be a lot of disconnect pushing that our way back and is seen as in many countries a seen as asking to choose sides do you want to be with team the us are you want to be with team china. these concerns are far from the front line of the other 5 g. . activists in the smallest radian town showed no sign of giving up their fight at the local mobile. the vigil went on. when not putting a time limit on this ideally we would like something concrete from telstra sign they won't be any works happening that's basically what way whining harkins point in time they want a way that's going to take absolutely we're not going anywhere no way here and we're not going anywhere. november on al-jazeera. who will be the next president of the
