who went into restaurants and bars to to have joy in the last evening before the lockdown which will start at midnight so that i want to say people can't go home because the streets are closed and as the speaker of the the minister of interior affairs has said before there were even 6 places not only in the center where there were shootings and incidents and police and special forces even the military has been called in the town and now at the moment the action is still going on they are hunting for the attack is one they have caught he was shot as they say but there for sure several others who are still on the run the streets are empty now because police has asked people to stay in their homes or in the bars or restaurants where they were when the shooting started so it's a very dangerous situation still there were several men who ran to through the streets and shot on people as i said in 6 different places so we still do not know what is behind that attack what kind of group it is police is desperately hunting for them and i think then when they identify them will one of them perhaps or know more about the motivation behind any us president and his rival joe biden are making their final pitches to voters with just hours left before the 1st polls open on election day a record 907000000 americans have already cast their ballots any more than 2 thirds of the total number who voted in 2016 but combine biden as to how busy making a last minute push in st sec could be crucial for their path to victory. this time you're right this country there's an amazing thing about this modern art history on the water and revenge of the bigger threats through we are what we believe. in our lifetimes but our hand our futures never been more promising. from scratch that he left at 9 years old and that's ok it's ok but these guys are stone cold phony hand and actually use that equipment lead to be. huge and everybody and their foreign leaders go let me say and the serious in afghanistan at least 22 people are dead after the gunmen stormed kabul university sparking an hours long battle with security forces soldiers were shot in their classrooms as they tried to flee the scene eisel says it was behind the attack. through president is facing his 2nd impeachment trial in less than 2 months martin vickery has been accused of accepting bribes worth more than $600000.00 from 2 companies that won public work 10 days he denies the allegations several countries across europe by imposing tougher restrictions as infections judical the 1000 continue to rise france report is another record jump in new cases on monday with more than 52000 cases confirmed in tanzania police briefly detained opposition presidential candidate tunis on monday over a call for protest destructing last week's elections is the rest came hours after the chair of his party and other officials were detained on terrorism charges as in john michael fully secured a 2nd term in the vote but the opposition and i just fought and tanzania is semi-autonomous region of sands boss on its new president in hussein wienie was elected to govern the islands but the opposition rejects since his votes. coming up next i'll just air the truth about 5 g. to status. all over it and i will not stand. if you want it why don't you give me if you don't understand it now matter if any. around the world and you protest movement is stuck in 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 far 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 soon the usage of. its fuel conspiracy theories that have quickly spilled from online into the real world by jaybird imber. and there are a much bigger forces like. i think would be naive if we did not recognize the possibility that some of these crimes are being generated by hostile governments while protesters 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 australia community where followers of a come to 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 and you find here a lot of people that's having very deep mistrust of government very health oriented and so a lot of organic foods here in n.z. g.m.o. b.n.c. fracking movement it's probably the the n.t. backs capital of the strangers it's 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. . how. hard he had 10 to the marches reach that gold the town is sold telecommunications time. for months protesters have targeted this tower of the plans to upgrade it to the 5 g. network. and. they. say. the protest is here or if that radio. signals from 5 g. towns could be damaging to health i don't want to be human leverett. because that's what's happened that they're just using us to see if it was going to be ok and if we don't i won't because so many of us. 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. 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 cherie yeomans and her dog bundy. protecting the town to telstra my being the cherry picker we know the neighbor cherry pick out to upgrade to 5 j. so it's quite a time of us tag teaming a couple of miles for hours arriving not to protect the town from anywhere. in march 2020 activists claim 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 and 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 5 of us so with a 4 g. device we're talking about downloading an edge the movie in minutes but this is 5 g. technology 5 g. is much higher internet speeds than 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 but 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 a far g. 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 to 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 fogey 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 we can start 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 and cells 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 wife i 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 to 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. implemented we no longer have any choice we are in a soup of radiation that we cannot escape. her body. comes from a crash for fear 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 the air 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 why 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 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 that so why is bain and essentially the same is as we've had around with radio for instance am an f.m. radio of many is to get you to hold on to the front of the cab. while 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 does it make you feel bad agitated cause you symptoms of any any for. now we're going to get you to memory tasks that we were doing oh we believe there are good 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 play. 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 excess 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 role that a 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 there 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 of 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 had we've put down 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 set for 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 non 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 their radio frequency is in what's called the nonaligned. 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 you now have in our 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 2 a means probably cause and agenda and includes red meat and very hot drinks. to be is possibly consonant genack includes things like car exhausts but also some contraceptive pills and pickled vegetables the expert panel decided to classify it radio frequency radiation in group 2 being. a group included taking the human evidence and the animal evidence together there was limited evidence of radio frequency causing cancer in humans. 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 i'm 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 her to recommend a precautionary approach to take steps to reduce exposure the main exposure is when it's very close to your head so use a hands free device used to make a phone 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 to me 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 super charged activism around the 5 g. rollout in sydney australia and vax is anti lock down protesters are right conspiracy theorists and anti 5 g. campaign as have united under the banner of freedom of choice. cause an explosion in public no and probably didn't make any hunkering down under house arrest men and women have taken today. and began to offer questions many of them for the 1st time. a registered nurse naomi cook helps run an anti 5 g. facebook group one with an ever growing membership. if you are watching to stop by j. . this means you don't understand it nothing else matters any. particular right 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 leaders you know everyone is. and yeah so you know quite often someone pushes something in one group then it gets reset in another group. and yeah awareness spreads. 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 there is 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 received a lot of communication from these conspiracy theories smiths so it is complete nonsense 5 g. has got nothing at all to this. south of the economic heartbeat of a thriving brazil but boom times mean rising rents and the lack of public housing isabel is just one of thousands looking for a place to call home was no

more than 2 thirds of the toll number of voters in 2016 atrovent biden is still making a last minute push in states that could be crucial for their path to victory in afghanistan at least 22 people are dead and several injured after gunmen stormed kabul university students were shot in their classrooms and as they tried to flee the scene i saw says it was behind the attack bruce president is facing his 2nd impeachment trial in less than 2 months martin vis carra has been accused of accepting bribes worth more than $600000.00 from 2 companies that one public work 10 days he denies the allegations and several countries across europe ryan posing tough for corona virus restrictions as infections continue to rise france reported another record jump in new cases on monday with more than 52000 cases hospital admissions have also hit a 4 month high those are the headlines the truth about 4 g. continues next on al-jazeera stay with us. telecoms provide is across the world are gearing up for 5 g. the fastest internet connection yet one that 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 on those 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 cues on how to lobby your dr 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 i like. your world are more new. to me don't you think you. are doing your weapon. 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 protest as if united around a range of benefits from anti vaccination to 5 g. and some have an eye on politics. on this one is crying all the time so as all movement grow is having a political party almost creates a platform that may be conducive to bringing about change so from that perspective i think as of right valid way to tackle the 5 g. problem. i think for the young. the 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 causes because they can link the pandemic in this case with whatever their cause is whether it's 5 g. whether it's anti-vaccination whether it's all of 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 now you must listen to us because we've been correct all along. the coincidental arrival of covert 19 and the rollout of 5 g. networks sparked a further 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 and disease or is it 5 g. . when 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 info demick frankly who spreads faster and more easily than this virus and is just as dangerous. within weight. 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. how it 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 gasp as to where the 1st completely blanketed 5 g. city in the world was almost 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 cusack and m.i.a. . celebrities really become super spreaders know all of 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 time to school eons. hi guys q after that i may tell. you soon the conspiracy theory make the leap from online to the real world to simply find g. technicians in the u.k. began reporting being abused and threatened with violence. if you know what you're doing by a length 5 g. . the realize that you got. you know for. us going to. next and the 5 g. activists began burning phone time was. by may 2028 more than 70 mobile phone towers had been attacked in the u.k. and more than a dozen more across europe north america new zealand and australia soon as a joke. virtually. new world order. to terrorism place of bin protein following international attacks on fine town was linked to conspiracy theories the 5 g. network spreads khurana of arms. has caused extensive damage to a fine tariff preventing that i felt. at one and down 5 g. was again linked to corona virus. hello everyone. this prompted a shop response from public health latest round of arson days unfortunately a lot of very silly misinformation at there there is absolutely no evidence that 5 g. doing anything in the qur'an are aspies i am not unfortunately for saved a lot of communication from these conspiracy theories missile 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 play is maybe 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 cover 19 or the corona virus and i'm making the real life that point that it is well accepted by commentators and experts in the subject of misinformation and disinformation that there are 9 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 disobeying a new 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 but 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 an 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 us as 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 being generated by hostile governments 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. the better. way to. look with a good environment of maturity explore thoughts. we are leading by so much for the world superpowers 5 g. is 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 just look at losing markets it is losing also influenced. some security specialists fear that a 5 g. world dominated by china may give 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 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 a network that would give them the capability if they try it has to very seriously and gravely disrupt 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 our founder is said 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 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 back out 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 well 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 convinced 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 is 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 its readership 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 as 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 vijay. activists in the smallest radian town showed no sign of giving up their fight at the local mobile mast 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. the weather's looking lousy fine a dry across much of north america we have got some basin places a plateau rolling across ontario quebec and it was canadian maritimes in northeast off the u.s. will also see some basin places of cloud and right around new england but that's a side of election day looks fine and a brisk wind up towards the northeast but not bad for most it's pretty much wall to wall sunshine it is looking good because some wetter weather around the pacific northwest into that western side of canada that will slide across the rockies as we go on into were when the state is pushing across the mountain states here but for many as you can see the fire weather continues and if anything the temperature is recovering so things started cheering quite nicely in terms of the temperatures certainly plenty of sunshine around not so much sunshine across the caribbean we have what is now hurricane isa making its way across the western side of the caribbean just been upgraded from a tropical storm will see that wet weather punching its way into one nicaragua some parts could see maybe 600 millimeters of rain over the next few days staggering amounts of rainfall and that is a lot it's a lead to life threatening floods then that wet weather stretches from panama into honduras with wet weather threats to for much of jamaica. minus signs up on the boat on the false image. the sound of the maids in the country it seems. if you go to the lead to mechanic watch all you will see dad soon . to be. my night falls to produce 1st remember one cannot think of. my nigeria women are strong we need. my nigeria on al-jazeera. the story of love family and freedom calling them i was 8 years old you were at school we heard the sounds of large explosions. and the hardships faced in captivity they came for me at midnight they told me to leave my son i said how can i sing my songs so much pain in the eyes of the other female prisoners. on the our pricing. on al-jazeera. for 4 weeks america in goal didn't protest every day all over the u.s. even as the country faces the continued threat of a deadly pandemic. and it morphed into a movement calling for police reforms sometimes it was violent. but mostly it was peaceful we asked people to describe what america is now feeling i think people want change. and i think that by willing to do whatever it takes to get there on friday billions of people in america are expected to celebrate what's called june 13th at an official holiday commemorating the end of slavery in the united states this year in the wake of the nationwide protests there is a growing number of calls to make it an official federal holiday. as people see it as a great opportunity to take to the streets to continue to let their message be heard . several gunmen opened fire in central the u.n. a in what's being called a terrorist attack at least 2 people are dead and several are those in jets. you're watching al-jazeera live from doha with me fully back to bill also coming up one last.
