Huawei banned from UK 5G networks in major government U-turn – BBC News

Published

on



The UK has banned the Chinese company, Huawei, from its 5G networks, saying keeping the country secure has to be its top priority.

It’s a major U-turn after the Prime Minister said in January that the firm could be allowed a limited role in the new era of faster technology.

But Boris Johnson has come under pressure from the United States to change course. China has called the decision wrong and disappointing and questioned whether the UK can provide a fair environment for business.

The decision means that telecoms firms in the UK will be banned from buying new 5G Huawei equipment beyond this year. Existing Huawei technology will be removed from the UK’s 5G networks by 2027.

It could mean the rollout of 5G is delayed for two to three years in the UK and may cost an extra £2 billion. It has also raised questions about the future of wider Chinese investment in the British economy.

    It seems that the UK is willing to be spied on by the US, hey, after all, it's all one big family, Right? We have no secrets with the US, they can read the UK like an open book but when it comes to Huawei, where there is NO back door, the UK doesn't like it because it's used to have one and adjusting it would not be an option.😂😂

    it reminds me of the weapon of mass destruction lies fabricated by both American president George W Bush and UK Tony Blair. Both of them are war criminals but because of the control they have towards media and countries, none of them has been brought to the court yet. Back to Huawei 5G, it is not about security, but politics. Only the fools would believe in lies from the west.

    What a shame. British Empire got replaced by American Empire after WWII and yet UK has been following US like a loyal puppet dog. Some said it is the Anglo Saxon bonding mindset but don’t throw away your independence and dignity for it.

Sir Keir Starmer is fighting to stay on as prime minister as the pressure mounts | BBC News

Published

on



Three members of his government, including Home Office minister Jess Phillips, have resigned, whilst scores of Labour MPs are calling for him to quit following a disastrous set of elections for the party last week.

Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood is among a number of cabinet ministers urging the prime minister to set out a departure timetable.

Sir Keir said he does not intend to quit and threw down the gauntlet to potential rivals to formally challenge him as Labour leader.

No MP has yet launched a formal bid to challenge him, which requires the backing of 81 colleagues or 20% of Labour MPs, according to party rules.

US hits ‘dozens’ of Iranian sites in strikes, as Iran targets US bases in region | BBC News

Published

on



The US said it has hit “dozens” of Iranian military targets in overnight attacks, in response to Iran hitting commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz.

The military said it struck “air-defense systems, coastal radar sites, missile and drone capabilities, and small boats”, using aircraft, ships, and drones – including “one-way attack sea drones for the first time”.

“The Strait of Hormuz is a vital maritime corridor for global trade,” the US military said. “Iran does not control it”.

In response, Iran said it targeted US bases in Jordan, Bahrain, and Kuwait and also radar systems in Oman.

Trump demands 20% toll on cargos passing through strait of Hormuz | BBC News

Published

on



President Donald Trump has said the US is reinstating a naval blockade of Iranian ports and will impose a 20% charge on all cargo shipped through the Strait of Hormuz following days of escalating strikes between the two countries.

He said this would stop “Iran’s ships or customers” from entering or leaving the key oil shipping route, but “all other countries will have fair and open use of the Strait”.

Iran’s foreign minister later said whoever provides safe passage “should be compensated for this service”, but Iran would remain the strait’s “GUARDIAN” – using Trump’s word.

Tehran and Washington clashed over the strait’s control after exchanging strikes in the region overnight and on Monday.

The US said it carried out strikes against military targets in Iran, targeting air defence systems, coastal radars, and missile and drone sites. Iran said it responded by striking US military bases in Kuwait, Jordan and Bahrain, and radars in Oman.
