| Huawei exec's extradition hearing pushed to March Posted: 29 Jan 2019 02:13 PM PST  The extradition hearing for a top Huawei executive at the center of a diplomatic row between Ottawa and Beijing was pushed back to March on Tuesday, after the US unveiled sweeping charges against her and the Chinese tech giant. Meng Wanzhou, Huawei's chief financial officer and the daughter of its founder, was indicted along with Huawei and two affiliates in a US case related to alleged Iran sanctions violations that has inflamed tensions with China. In Meng's first court appearance since being released, the judge moved the start of her extradition hearing to March 6, a month later than previously scheduled, in order to allow the defense time to review the evidence in the case.

| No deal Brexit could ‘weaken’ UK and EU, top US intel chief warns Posted: 29 Jan 2019 10:10 AM PST  America's most senior intelligence chief warned on Tuesday that a no deal Brexit could "substantially weaken" the United Kingdom and the European Union. Dan Coats, the US director of national intelligence, warned that there would be "economic disruption" if London and Brussels fail to reach an agreement over the terms of departure. Mr Coats expressed the concerns in prepared remarks to the Senate Intelligence Committee as he and five other intelligence chiefs discussed "worldwide threats". "In Europe, political, economic and social trends will increase political uncertainty and complicate efforts to push back against some autocratic tendencies," Mr Coats said. "Meanwhile, the possibility of a no deal Brexit, in which the UK exits the EU without an agreement, remains. This would cause economic disruptions that could substantially weaken the UK and Europe." Mr Coats is a former Republican senator who serves in Donald Trump's cabinet. He was formerly US ambassador to Germany under George W Bush. The role he holds was created after the September 11 2001 attacks and oversees the work of America's 17 intelligence agencies. Mr Coats's warning is starker than most public comments on Brexit from Trump administration figures, who tend to stress that the decision is one for the UK Parliament. Mr Trump, the US president, has done little to hide his criticism of Theresa May's Brexit deal, which was voted down by MPs earlier this month. He has repeatedly questioned whether the agreement, which keeps Britain closely aligned to Brussels in terms of trading goods, limits the ability for a major UK-US free trade deal after Brexit. The US president is yet to comment on the current impasse in Parliament since Mrs May's withdrawal agreement was voted down by the House of Commons. Last week a senior official at the Office of the Director of National Intelligence – Mr Coats's department – told this newspaper that the UK-US intelligence sharing relationship was not expected to be impacted by Brexit.

| UAE ridiculed for gender balance award ceremony which features no women Posted: 28 Jan 2019 09:56 AM PST  The government of the United Arab Emirates has been mocked for posting pictures of winners of awards for gender balance, which featured no women. Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Dubai's ruler, was shown congratulating the recipients of Best Personality Supporting Gender Balance, Best Federal Authority Supporting Gender Balance, and Best Gender Balance Initiative. Lt Gen Sheikh Saif bin Zayed al-Nahyan, the deputy prime minister and minister of the interior, was recognised as the "best personality supporting gender balance" for his efforts to implement maternity leave in the UAE's military. Two other senior male officials received the rest. Eyebrows were raised after photographs from the event were posted on the Dubai media office's Twitter account. . @HHShkMohd honors the winners of the Gender Balance Index 2018. The Index features three categories: Best Personality for Supporting Gender Balance, Best Federal Entity for Supporting Gender Balance, and the Best Initiative for Supporting Gender Balance. #UAEpic.twitter.com/qE5GkYHzTo— Dubai Media Office (@DXBMediaOffice) January 27, 2019 "Awesome initiative. How do you define Gender Balance Index? Obviously one gender is missing. Asking for a friend," tweeted one account. Daniela Tejada, whose husband Matthew Hedges was recently released from prison in UAE after being sentenced to life in prison for spying, tweeted: "The reason why neither Matt nor I ever represented a reputational risk to the UAE is because the UAE represents a reputational risk to itself. Once again, actions speak louder than words." Sheikh Mohammed was quoted as saying: "We are proud of the success of Emirati women and their role is central to shaping the future of the country. Gender balance has become a pillar in our governmental institutions." The Twitter account later released some pictures of the winners posing for pictures with a handful of women, though it does not appear they were themselves recipients of any awards. A statement by the official Dubai Media Office meanwhile cited Sheikha Manal bint Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, president of the UAE Gender Balance Council, as saying it had achieved a goal set in 2015 to reduce the gender gap across all sectors of government. But last month the country was ranked 121st out of 149 countries overall in the World Economic Forum's 2018 Global Gender Gap Report and 134th in terms of economic participation and opportunity.

| US reiterates 'all options on the table' as John Bolton accidentally flashes plans for troops to Venezuela border Posted: 29 Jan 2019 02:10 AM PST  US National Security Advisor John Bolton was photographed on Monday holding a notepad that included the handwritten line: "5,000 troops to Colombia." Bolton spoke to White House reporters while holding the yellow notepad and discussing the crisis in Venezuela, where the US now recognizes opposition leader Juan Guaido as the country's interim president. It was not until after the briefing that observers spotted the black scrawl. Speaking on condition of anonymity, a US official said "we are not seeing anything that would support" a potential troop deployment to Colombia, which neighbors Venezuela. The Pentagon referred a query back to the White House. John Bolton was caught out holding a notepad saying '5,000 troops to Colombia' Credit: Win McNamee/Getty During the briefing, Bolton would not rule out use of US troops in Venezuela. "The president has made it clear on this matter that all options are on the table," he said. The US military's Southern Command did not immediately respond to requests for comment. Bolton's notepad also had the line: "Afghanistan - welcome the talks" - a reference to a potential breakthrough in discussions with the Taliban.

| China must tread fine line as US fires latest salvo against Huawei in 'new Cold War' Posted: 29 Jan 2019 05:07 PM PST  The US charges against China's Huawei are the latest salvo in an escalating "new Cold War" that is developing between the two superpowers. In a move that ratchets up tensions between Washington and Beijing, the United States on Monday charged the Chinese technology giant, its chief financial officer and two affiliates with bank and wire fraud to violate sanctions against Iran. Separately, the Justice Department also accused two Huawei subsidiaries of 10 counts of stealing trade secrets, wire fraud and obstructing justice for allegedly stealing robotic technology from carrier T-Mobile US. "These indictments are a sign of new geopolitical contest between the US and China which will be similar to the Cold War, but quite different," said Brendan Thomas-Noone, a researcher at the United States studies centre at the University of Sydney. "We will need to come up with a new term to describe what is happening." The US move drew a sharp response from Beijing, which has already lashed out over the arrest in December of Huawei's chief financial officer, Meng Wanzhou, in Canada. Acting Attorney General Matthew Whitaker speaks flanked by U.S. Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross (L) and FBI Director Christopher Wray (R) during a news conference to announce indictments against China's Huawei Technologies Credit: Reuters China hits out at 'strong political motivations' "There are strong political motivations and political manipulations behind the actions," ministry spokesman Geng Shuang said in a statement, urging Washington to stop "the unreasonable suppression of Chinese companies including Huawei". Meng was detained at the behest of the United States, where she is wanted for violations of Iranian sanctions. US authorities plan to formally file for her extradition by a deadline on Wednesday. In apparent retaliation, two Canadian citizens have been detained on national security grounds and another was sentenced to death for drug trafficking. "The Chinese government's response to the arrest of Meng Wangzhou, with threats and taking hostages, has demonstrated the extent to which Huawei is linked to Beijing's national ambitions and objectives," said Elsa Kania, an analyst at the Center for a New American Security (CNAS). People hold signs in support of Meng Wanzhou, chief financial officer of Huawei Technologies Co., outside of a bail hearing at the Supreme Court in Vancouver Credit: Bloomberg The charges come just days before US-China trade talks are set to resume in Washington, although Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross said the two cases are "wholly separate" from the trade negotiations. But the negotiations mean Beijing will have to tread carefully in how it responds to the US charges. "The timing of these indictments puts a lot of pressure on Beijing to think hard about its response, if any," Mr Thoman-Noone told The Telegraph. "Arresting American citizens, or closing American companies from operating in China, will be a much tougher decision than going after Canada." Huawei 'offered rewards for trade secrets' Donald Trump has cited China's theft of intellectual property as one of the main issues in his ongoing trade dispute with China. Tom Uren, a senior cybersecurity analyst at the Australian Strategic Policy Institute, said there had been a concerted effort by China to steal trade secrets and intellectual property. "One of the striking allegations in one of the Huawei indictments was that Huawei China had a formal policy to reward employees who stole confidential information from competitors," he told The Telegraph. "I'm not aware of this kind of brazen and large-scale state sanctioned intellectual property theft being perpetrated by US companies or the US government. Or even occurring elsewhere, really." As the world's biggest telecommunications equipment maker, Huawei is at the heart of a developing battle between China and the West. What is 5G? | At a glance The main issue in recent months has been to do with 5G technology, for which Huawei is seen as a world leader. Despite its technological advances, however, countries have either been reluctant to use its technology or have banned its firms from using it altogether. The Trump administration is trying to prevent American companies from buying Huawei routers and switches and pressing allies to do the same. US security experts are concerned that the equipment could be used to spy on the United States. "China is becoming a technological powerhouse with the potential to challenge US leadership in today's strategic technologies," Ms Kania said. "In some respects, the controversy over Huawei is emblematic of this techno-strategic competition." China warns of 'Cold War mentality' Writing in The Telegraph at the weekend, Liu Xiaoming, China's ambassador to the UK, stressed that national security fears are "groundless and misleading". "The UK owes its economic and social vitality to a profound tradition of openness and inclusiveness. I hope and believe that it will remain committed to this tradition, and reject regression, seclusion, confrontation and a 'Cold War' mentality," Mr Liu wrote. Yet this "Cold War" differs greatly to the one waged between the US and the USSR. For starters, as the trade talks shows, the two countries are far more entangled economically. Asian markets were lower on Tuesday after the U.S. Justice Department unsealed criminal charges against China's Huawei Credit: AP Where the Armageddon scenario was historically a nuclear war, the atomic option for China is the more than $1.1 trillion in US securities that Beijing holds. Were it to sharply reduce those holdings, it would hurt the US significantly - but it would also sustain heavy losses itself. And while the Space Race dominated the "Cold War" (and continues to be a prominent battleground between major powers), advances in technology is a key priority for the two rivals now. "China seems to recognise that technology is important for competition and growth and has a strategic focus on improving its competitiveness in certain important technologies like Artificial Intelligence, robotics, information technology and others," Mr Uren said. "We are certainly seeing a clash between the values and behaviour of Western liberal democracies with that of the Chinese communist party." And while the US was currently ahead in the tech race, "China has both government focus and a plan to challenge in the longer term", he added.

| Stephen King is straight up trolling Trump on Twitter now Posted: 28 Jan 2019 04:07 AM PST  For a while, Donald Trump had Stephen King blocked on Twitter. Not anymore, though.
