is that google is the enjoyed operating system controls eighty percent of global smartphones and google is a data machine was there was google chrome on all of those smartphones with the search engines they collect a vast amount of data and they can use those data again for advertising so if the european union union could force it to google to change those practices then it really would become problematic for google but always wall street obviously is not quite convinced that this is eventually good really going to happen because the stock of google or the mother company alphabet didn't really move that much here in the winter session ok so investors are a bit skeptical it seems moving on u.s. the u.s. car industry is pushing back against import tariffs were they the ones in the car industry that trump wanted to protect. well but then again the us president also wanted to protect steel and aluminum makers and events on the other side increases costs for the car industry not just the car makers but also also flyers car dealers they actually are out with open letters here on wednesday and

has a has a view on this that google was abusing its market position. did did we the consumer suffer as a result of this suppose it market abuse well that's difficult to tell really because it's unknown hypothetical we don't know what sort of rivals mice have been able to come up and really challenge google in these particular services if they haven't been shut out by it's become past practices focus on three billion euro that's a lot of money explain to us whether where that figure came from and how much of a dent it's likely to make in google's deep deep pockets well the reason that the figure is so high the commission said is that the abuses have been going on since two thousand and eleven and also because they're very very serious they shut out huge companies from very very cool parts of the day to day computing lifecycle of us use mobile phones for most of our computing needs of sort of work certainly. in terms of how much this will hurt google it's a lot of money certainly and dollars five billion dollars just of but the more important thing is th

google is appealing the ruling. they would not get into how it would impact the business going forward. however, they are going to accrue this over the quarter. google ceo sundar pichai talked about where they stand right now. take a listen. we will always take constructive approach. we will appeal the decision and take the process available to us, but we look forward to finding a solution that above all preserves the enormous benefits of android users and so on. there is more work to be done, and i think it will become clearer as we go along. but i'm confident we can find a that android is available to use at scale for users everywhere. course, at the level of revenue we are talking about, the fine and self really would be significant -- really would be a drop in the bucket. what really would be significant, if the rules change the way that google does business. kathleen: what about the impact of general data protection regulation on the company? emily: this is really interesting because we had potentiallyr to have

right now for the tech area this news out of google is very positive >> so google is now sort of out of the way what is next on your key market radar? away from these technology stocks, what is going on in the trade wars, tariff concerns. for me that falls into the currency markets people have been saying there's only so much china can do. they can't fight back like we can. they certainly can't in terms of tariffs but they can in the currency markets we see what happened with the yuan versus the dollar there's a major move, they're devaluing their currency that's going to be a concern as they move further into the second half of the year. so watch that closely. same thing with the yen. everybody has been talking about how we've been concerned about the fed tightening, the ecb has tapered back on their qe program. now there's rumors going around and they're sening o sending ous that they may taper back as well if the bo swrshgs doj does that indicate less liquidity in the system >> we called it the economic bazooka of the currency devaluation in china a few weeks ago, wouldn't that al

for google. wall street is obvious he not quite convinced this is really going to happen, because the stock of mother company alphabet did not really move much in the wednesday session. daniel: moving on, the u.s. car industry is pushing back against import tariffs. aren't they the ones that trump wanted to protect? jens: well, then again the u.s. president also wanted t to prott steel and aluminum makers, and that increases costs for the car industry. not just carmakers, but also suppliers, car dealers. they are out with open letters on wednesday and thursday in some u.s. publications to make a case that those tariffs, if they come, they will be hurtful to the u.s. car industry. it will increase prices and eventually even lead to job losses. when of the complaints from the u.s. is that people in germany or japan do not buy enough cars. that would really change if we put tariffs on zero remains to be seen. but obviously the car industry is not happy with the trade policy of the current administra

and then google going big on cloud business. but there are two other areas where they can play massive offense and gain revenue and margins. number one is ams, the amazon marketing services. that is a very high profile and high-margin business for amazon. it is growing rapidly. measurable technique for consumer goods getting in front of shoppers. the other is the grocery business, which having acquired whole foods, it is starting to pick up momentum. we saw, even on prime day, that is a big opportunity for revenue. emily: also amazon saying on the call that whole foods is bringing new prime membership, thatn prime day, even with glitch, they sought more subscriptions than ever. >> i think the pace is accelerating at a smaller than expected pace, to be honest. but it is actually a very big market. the opportunity is there. they have to build infrastructure first. emily: are there any red flags? >> i do not see many at this point. even slower revenue growth could be a strategy in terms of starting to capitalize on some of the prof

facebook, google, they don't know. facebook adoptr more journalistic styles of deciding what is news and what deserves update status? facebook try to offload all responsibility for their decisions in these two algorithms. and say, it is not us we did not talkedory x or story y, it out the rhythm about it. they will continue to do that until they are forced not to. it is crazy to think that a newspaper could publish a story that was defamatory and then just say, well, that was just the classified section. don't talk to me. are responsible for what appears on your platform as a newspaper publisher. more likely than not, on the internet especially facebook and social media platforms, they will wind up being held to the same standards. it will become obvious that they are media companies. at that point they will no longer hide behind the outer rhythm because they will not be able to afford to. >> this goes back to the question of twitter and public square. people get banned. people think of twitter as an extension of their

google has hinted at charging for services it did not charge for before. , ry: google insists they are good for consumet the eu is determined to curb their -- what it sees as their abuse of their domance. rory cellan-jones, bbc news. laura: you are watching "bbc world news america." still to come on tonight's program, remembering nelson mandela when hundred -- 100 years after his birth. we look at why the south african leader's legacy is more complicated than you might think. the election in mexico was a landslide victory for left wing lopez obrador. there was a huge shift to the left. biggest casualty was the party that ran mexico for 17 years. t in the president' hometown. here is will grant. will: these are the faces of defeat, losing candidates in the worst election result in their party's history, still hanging over that headquarters. the memory of their crushing defeat at the polls cannot be right away so easily. for -- theyned here have governed here for years, and party ac avists smarting at the defeat. >>iv iualism was a big part of the problem. eh previous years everyone used

right now google is saying in order to get access to the google play store they must install the google search app and google chrome. that's not fair to somebody like another browser that wants to be on android phones, if you want to have access to the google app store you have to have these preinstalled on your phone. that's not really fair and that makes a lot of sense. they are also being barred from making payments to manufacturers to exclusively preinstall the google apps. not allowing them to install any browsers on the devices. google is saying they haven't done that practice since 2014 but the antitrust lawyers in europe say you can't do it anymore at all now even if you have stopped. they also want to stop google from deterring manufacturers from being able to install alternate versions of android on the phones. right now google is the sole approver of what kind of version android operating system can run on phones. 80% of the phones worldwide.>> last year the eu hit google with a fine, this is the second time consecutively but this is all about their anti- competitive practice

google was fined last year. more significantly, it could be any order from the eu freeing up manufacturers to choose non-google apps to install on android phones. >> when you buy a small -- from samsung or sony, you're also getting the android operating system. google gives the android platform to the manufacturers for free. they come preloaded with google services. android runs on 77% of the world's smart phones. the european union says google is stifling competition and hurting the development of android applications. the idea is to use a stick with the default often. and may be less likely to seek out other products like -- from companies like microsoft or --. it is the second of three google's robes into business. last year, google was fined for reaching -- for breaching antitrust laws. the size of the penalty for the latest ruling will grab headlines, the bigger impact will be decisions on how google should address the eu's concerns. it could be ordered to remove or renegotiate contracts with smartphone man

very dominant google maps is and ways which is also owned by google the dominant mapping services google is the dominant search engine chrome is the dominant web browser all google products book that was also widely believed when the you took action against microsoft back then internet explorer and the vast stranglehold on the p.c. browns the market now chrome is the dominant web browser it may allow companies to produce their own versions of android which they've been prevented from doing the only really outside of china the only people who have done that successfully are amazon on their arms and fire tablets they have their own app store and the disadvantage there is that you don't get a lot of google services on it and you don't get the same range of apps it's very much a subset of the whole set of apps so it'll be interesting to see what emerges but the answer is nobody knows it might be something revolutionary and wonderful it might be business as usual well we'll have to wait and see i suppose and perhaps invite you back to and was what has happened thanks for the good to speak to

google's ad revenue could be hit hard. so the internet giant says it will appeal the fine. big machines big profits aircraft are state of the art products with sky high price tags. manufacturers like airbus and boeing take orders in the tens of billions and looking to the future boeing estimates commercial airlines will need over six trillion dollars worth of new aircraft over the next twenty years. projections like that make airline companies fairly optimistic. i don't think global demand is being put out there will always be demand for our travel because this is the must say first then easiest way to travel from country to country and. that i was forecast and the industry monitor i utter forecast that there will be a broad passenger traffic especially in the region where we are situated. and not just in the middle east of boeing study predicts that in ten years china will replace the u.s. as the world's biggest domestic travel market. boeing already exports a quarter of its production to china but the escalating trade dispute between the u.s. and china could easily cloud

russia ruled that google had been breaking antitrust laws by inserting google search and google chrome within android smartphones, and since then, since they have been forced to offer on android platforms, you are starting to see a pickup and -- in other rival searches. you have seen yandex go from up to 42%down to -- in terms of market share. this does shift the dial. we could see more movement to different search engines and therefore, slightly less advertising dollars going google's way. it will be interesting to see how much of an effect it will have. many feel it is too little too late. when you have more than 90% search dominance, there is not much that can shift the dial. emily: mark, is there anything backing the claims? that the u.s. is being taken advantage of? google said that in the past. that there are no strong tech players in the eu, and rather than competing on a level playing field, they are taking this measure as a retaliatory measure. i think certainly google can now point to the president's tweet and public positions and say that, to republicans that have come out a

google has denied any wrongdoing, and plans to appeal the ruling. our technology correspondent rory cellan—jones has the latest. advert: if you believe in innovation from everyone, then welcome to android. it sees itself as a benevolent giant that just wants to help us communicate. the eu has a different view. google has engaged in illegal practices to cement its dominant market position in internet search. google's android operating system runs on three quarters of europe's mobile phones. it is free for phone makers, but the eu says that google applies conditions which promote its own interests at the expense of rivals. there are three complaints — that phone makers must preinstall google search in cut if they want to use the app store. they are paid to promote google search by installing it and not other search engines. and that they are effectively banned from creating alternative versions of android. as a matter of principle we could ourselves look up another search engine, but only i% of us who has a android phone says, "oh, i do something
