A climate change protest which blocked entrances to BP's head office in central London has now ended.

The Greenpeace activists had placed five large steel containers outside each of the entrances to the building in St James's Square.

Kitted out with food, a chemical toilet and internet access, each box contained two protesters who were expected to remain in place for several days.

But Met Police officers removed them in the early evening, making 10 arrests.

Earlier, four people were arrested on suspicion of aggravated trespass after protesters abseiled down side of the building to block windows and display banners.

The aim of the protest was to keep BP's headquarters closed "for at least the whole of this AGM week", Greenpeace said.

The company's annual general meeting is set to take place in Aberdeen on Tuesday.

Activists want BP to end exploration for oil and gas, and only invest in renewable energy.

In a statement, BP said: "We welcome discussion, debate, even peaceful protest on the important matter of how we must all work together to address the climate challenge, but impeding safe entry and exit from an office building in this way is dangerous and clearly a matter for the police to resolve as swiftly as possible."

Environmental activists from Greenpeace have blocked access to BP's headquarters to highlight what they claim is a lack of action over climate change by the oil giant.

The activists arrived at the St James' Square offices before dawn and stopped staff from entering by blockading its five entrances with specially designed containers each holding 2 people.

Greenpeace UK tweeted: "We're blockading BP's London offices because they're acting as if the #ClimateEmergency isn't happening. Instead, BP is investing billions in new oil and fueling the crisis that will harm billions ... there is no place for companies like BP in our future."

On Sunday evening, just as you might have been getting ready to wind down the weekend, me and my friend Jo did something a bit different - we climbed up an oil rig. BP wanted to ship this rig out to the North Sea to drill for up to 30 million barrels of oil. But we had other plans.

We're now occupying it - to shut down BP's business as usual, and prevent them from getting to more climate-wrecking oil.

BP's greenwashing

At their AGM this year, BP agreed with its investors to show how the company is "aligned" with the Paris Climate Agreement - the treaty tackling climate change. So drilling for oil, when we already have more than we can afford to burn, is a pretty odd thing to do - but that's BP in a nutshell.

They say one thing and do another. Just take a look at their social media channels - it's all wind turbines and rolling hills (they even have a video of a dog running through a field with wind turbines in the background - it makes no sense). Where are the images of oil spills and carbon billowing into the earth's atmosphere?

How you can help

Let's call them out publicly on their lies and green washing. Hit the button, comment on BP's social media posts and get them to tell the truth - they're tipping us over the edge into climate breakdown.
Stop BP's lies on Facebook Stop BP's lies on Twitter
We're running out of time to solve this. And if we don't, we risk more devastating floods, deadly fires and irreversible climate change - BP need to act fast, and we need to make sure they do.

Me and Jo are stopping BP from exploring for oil right now - and we're willing to stay here until they get the message. If they want to show the world they're clean and green this is a pretty bad way to do it. As I see it, they've got two choices: go 100% renewable or wind down business altogether.

You can get them to come clean too, just hit the button and tell them you're not convinced by their green washing - this is a climate emergency and they are pushing us to breaking point.

Some facts for some inspiration:

BP, we know that 97% of your spend is still on oil and gas - only 3% on renewable doesn't make a climate friendly company!

To stay below 1.5C warming, BP and other oil companies would need to leave at least 9% of the oil and 6% of the gas from their current wells in the ground

Tell BP you're not buying their clean, green story - it's time to tell the truth about the climate crisis.

We're here to stay

Jo comes from Scotland and is really not happy with these climate wrecking activities happening this close to home. We've got enough supplies to stay here for a few days and disrupt BP's plans. We've also got a decent internet connection and will be spending most of our time scrolling through the comments on BP's social media page - so it'd be great if you could give us something fun to read. Oh, and if you haven't already - now is the time to sign the petition demanding that the UK government wakes up to the u rgent situation we're living in and declares a climate emergency .

EE will not be selling the next generation of Huawei phones due to concerns about whether the devices could receive operating system updates from Google.

It follows news that Huawei's access to Android updates has been revoked by Google in accordance with sanctions issued by the White House.

A spokesperson for EE, which is the UK's largest mobile network, has confirmed to Sky News that existing Huawei customers are not affected and devices that are still in stock will still be sold.

But they added that the company won't be selling new Huawei smartphones as part of its 5G push until it has clarification on the situation with Android, as it could leave customers without security updates.

The announcement was made as the company launched the first phase of its 5G roll-out, which will launch properly on 30 May in six cities around the UK: London, Cardiff, Edinburgh, Belfast, Birmingham and Manchester.

It said it plans to reach 1,500 sites by the end of 2019, including the "busiest parts" of Bristol, Coventry, Glasgow, Hull, Leeds, Leicester, Liverpool, Newcastle, Nottingham and Sheffield.

EE announced earlier this year that it would test its 5G mobile network during Glastonbury as part of its trials of the technology.

It said it will install five temporary masts across the Worthy Farm site, which will enable festival-goers to connect to 2G, 3G, 4G and new 5G networks.

The non-standalone 5G service still uses the 4G system's core network, although its radio antennas are the latest technology and are expected to provide a considerable boost to connectivity.

New phones which can support 5G connections from Samsung, OnePlus, LG and Oppo are also going on pre-order, although the company has paused the sale of Huawei devices.

EE expects that its standalone 5G network will be working in 2022.

The announcement comes just a day after a number of its customers were unable to make calls as the company's 4G network suffered an outage.

The network said only a "small number of customers were affected".

Huawei is a Chinese business which has grown to become the world's largest telecommunications equipment vendor.

Reports of its equipment being banned as nations seek to develop their 5G networks show little sign of stopping, and Western bodies including the EU and NATO have been called on to establish a joint position on their security risks.

In the UK, Theresa May approved the company's bid to help build Britain's 5G network - according to a leak from a National Security Council meeting - despite warnings about the risk it poses to national security.

Huawei's equipment occupies every step of the network chain between our laptops and phones through to the data centres hosting the content we want to access.

Although it sells laptops and phones too, Huawei's equipment is especially prominent in the parts of the network closer to the data centres, and it's this equipment which is raising concerns.

Network switches, gateways, routers, and bridges - the kit that controls how and where data is sent - is what Huawei really does. These core infrastructure devices touch everything traversing the internet and are critical to it functioning properly.

The company has been granted restricted access to build "non-core" infrastructure such as antennas, Sky News understands, but will be blocked from involvement in the most sensitive areas of the network with the main equipment it builds.
:: Concerns about Beijing

Three nations in the Five Eyes intelligence alliance, the US, Australia, and New Zealand, have effectively prohibited the installation of Huawei equipment as part of the next generation of telecommunications equipment.

The remaining two members, the United Kingdom and Canada, have not announced similar bans. Canada is expected to state its position within the coming months.
:: Listen to the Daily podcast on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Spotify, Spreaker
The UK has made the decision to allow Huawei equipment towards the edge of network - in the radio transmitters and receivers which other companies struggle to compete with the company on.

Elsewhere, nations including India and Germany have expressed their concerns about including Huawei equipment as they upgrade telecommunications infrastructure for 5G.

Two men working in the Polish telecommunications industry were detained earlier this year on suspicion of spying: a Chinese man employed by Huawei, formerly an attache at the Chinese consulate in Gdansk; and a Polish national who was formerly a counter-intelligence officer. The Huawei employee was immediately sacked for bringing the company into disrepute.

Huawei has been accused by US intelligence of being funded by Chinese state security, and almost a month ago the UK's National Cyber Security Centre said the company posed a threat to national security.

Despite this assessment, the head of the NCSC said the UK had established the "toughest and most rigorous oversight regime in the world for Huawei" and it would be capable of managing the risks the company posed.

The suggested restriction of Huawei's equipment to the edges of the 5G network rather than the core data processing and handling areas is potentially significant of how NCSC expects these risks can be managed.
:: Security connections

In the face of this criticism and suggestions of impropriety, the company has consistently pointed out that there has never been any evidence suggesting its equipment is more faulty or suspicious than that of its competitors.

Huawei was founded in China in 1987 by Ren Zhengfei, formerly an engineer in the People's Liberation Army. His connections to the military and to the Communist Party, alongside those of senior Huawei executives, have been cited as a security concern for foreign customers.

Alongside this, even if there is no evidence of bad action on behalf of the company, Western security officials have been especially wary of China's foreign policy, including its alleged ambitions to use business ties in foreign countries as elements of warfare.

Much of this wariness can trace its origin to 1999, when two Chinese Air Force colonels published a book of military strategy which was translated into English as Unrestricted Warfare and which described the strategy needed to win a conflict with the US.

It formulated the idea that non-military means can be used to challenge a rival nation, including attacking telecommunications networks, or what might be called cyber war.

Academics including Ofer Fridman, an expert in modern warfare, have suggested that the translated title is more incendiary than the original Chinese phrase - which could be read "warfare beyond boundaries" - but the assumed sentiment has influenced Western thought about China.

Economic warfare also comprised a section of the book, and in December, the Five Eyes alliance and others collectively condemned China for its active cyber espionage activities, declaring that it was engaging in the hostile theft of intellectual property.

Although a spokesman for the Polish security services said the allegations in the Polish espionage case related to individual actions and were not linked directly to Huawei, the ability - as alleged - for the Chinese state to place a spy within the company's staff will further worry Western nations over the potential risks posed by working with Huawei.
:: Spying or worse

Huawei's networking equipment could potentially facilitate espionage, although it has not been detected doing so, and any evidence that Huawei equipment manipulated or monitored the data it routed would lead to an immediate response from all companies using it. It would have to be a single-time action.

This has prompted the concern that the equipment could be made to not function by the company, or the Chinese government, to essentially take down telecommunications infrastructure during a time of international crisis. Such a move would inevitably compound the crisis and potentially have a critically damaging impact on the West's ability to respond to Beijing's action.

As described by the Australian government, Huawei was "likely to be subject to extrajudicial directions from a foreign government" and as such it would not be capable of resisting directions from Beijing to include a capacity to bring down the network or to manipulate the traffic its devices handled.

Certainly it seems as if Western nations assess that Beijing harbours such intentions, and this then is the risk that Western nations are being forced to measure: Can they include Huawei's equipment within critical national infrastructure and be confident that it would not be used against them?

Google has barred the world's second biggest smartphone maker, Huawei, from some updates to the Android operating system, dealing a blow to the Chinese company.

New designs of Huawei smartphones are set to lose access to some Google apps.

The move comes after the Trump administration added Huawei to a list of companies that American firms cannot trade with unless they have a licence.

Google said it was "complying with the order and reviewing the implications".

Huawei said it would continue to provide security updates and after-sales services to all existing Huawei and Honor smartphone and tablet products, covering those that have been sold or are still in stock globally.

"We will continue to build a safe and sustainable software ecosystem, in order to provide the best experience for all users globally," it added.

In a press briefing, China said it "supports the relevant company [Huawei] to defend its legitimate rights according to law".

What does this mean for Huawei users?

Existing Huawei smartphone users will be able to update apps and push through security fixes, as well as update Google Play services.

But when Google launches the next version of Android later this year, it may not be available on Huawei devices.

Future Huawei devices may no longer have apps such as YouTube and Maps.

Huawei can still use the version of the Android operating system available through an open source licence.

Ben Wood, from the CCS Insight consultancy, said the move by Google would have "big implications for Huawei's consumer business".

UK mobile trade body Mobile UK said it was "working closely with relevant authorities to understand the implications of the US Department of Commerce's placement of Huawei on its Entity List."

What can Huawei do about this?

Last Wednesday, the Trump administration added Huawei to its " entity list", which bans the company from acquiring technology from US firms without government approval.

In his first comments since the firm was placed on the list, Huawei chief executive Ren Zhengfei told Japanese media on Saturday: "We have already been preparing for this."

He said the firm, which buys about $67bn (£52.6bn) worth of components each year according to the Nikkei business newspaper, would push ahead with developing its own parts.

Huawei faces a growing backlash from Western countries, led by the US, over possible risks posed by using its products in next-generation 5G mobile networks.

Several countries have raised concerns that Huawei equipment could be used by China for surveillance, allegations the company has vehemently denied.

Huawei has said its work does not pose any threats and that it is independent from the Chinese government.

However, some countries have blocked telecoms companies from using Huawei products in 5G mobile networks.

So far the UK has held back from any formal ban.

"Huawei has been working hard on developing its own App Gallery and other software assets in a similar manner to its work on chipset solutions. There is little doubt these efforts are part of its desire to control its own destiny," said Mr Wood.

What are other companies saying?

US chipmakers including Intel, Qualcomm and Broadcom are reported to have told their workers they will stop supplying Huawei, according to Bloomberg.

Intel would not to comment to the BBC.

Rosenblatt Securities analyst Ryan Koontz said Huawei would be "seriously crippled" if it did not have these "key US components", although the Chinese firm is believed to have stockpiles in place.

California-based Xilinx said it was aware of the order by the Trump administration and was "co-operating" but had nothing to add.

Outside the US, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) is continuing to deliver to Huawei.

The Nikkei reported that TSMC had said it owned a "complicated and sophisticated export control compliance system" and "based on the data in the system we are not changing our shipping practice for the time being".

Short-term damage for Huawei?
By Leo Kelion, BBC Technology desk editor
In the short term, this could be very damaging for Huawei in the West.

Smartphone shoppers would not want an Android phone that lacked access to Google's Play Store, its virtual assistant or security updates, assuming these are among the services that would be pulled.

In the longer term, though, this might give smartphone vendors in general a reason to seriously consider the need for a viable alternative to Google's operating system, particularly at a time that the search giant is trying to push its own Pixel brand at their expense.

As far as Huawei is concerned, it appears to have prepared for the eventuality of being cut off from American know-how.

Its smartphones are already powered by its own proprietary processors, and earlier this year its consumer devices chief told German newspaper Die Welt that "we have prepared our own operating systems - that's our plan B".

Even so, this move could knock its ambition to overtake Samsung and become the bestselling smartphone brand in 2020 seriously off course.

What about the US-China trade war?

The latest move against Huawei marks an escalation in tensions between the firm and the US.

The company is facing almost two dozen criminal charges filed by US authorities. Washington is also seeking the extradition of Huawei executive Meng Wangzou from Canada, where she was arrested in December at the behest of American officials.

It comes as trade tensions between the US and China also appear to be rising.

The world's two largest economies have been locked in a bruising trade battle for the past year that has seen tariffs imposed on billions of dollars worth of one another's goods.

Earlier this month, Washington more than doubled tariffs on $200bn of Chinese goods, prompting Beijing to retaliate with its own tariff hikes on US products.

The move surprised some - and rattled global markets - as the situation had seemed to be nearing a conclusion.

The US-China trade war has weighed on the global economy over the past year and created uncertainty for businesses and consumers.

UK-based chip designer ARM has told staff it must suspend business with Huawei, according to internal documents obtained by the BBC.

ARM instructed employees to halt "all active contracts, support entitlements, and any pending engagements" with Huawei and its subsidiaries to comply with a recent US trade clampdown.

ARM's designs form the basis of most mobile device processors worldwide.

In a company memo, it said its designs contained "US origin technology".

As a consequence, it believes it is affected by the Trump administration's ban.

One analyst described the move, if it became long-term, as an "insurmountable" blow to Huawei's business.

He said it would greatly affect the firm's ability to develop its own chips, many of which are currently built with ARM's underlying technology, for which it pays a licence.

These are used in the Chinese company's 5G base stations and computer servers in addition to its smartphones.

Cambridge-headquartered ARM had been described as the UK's largest tech firm until its takeover by a Japanese fund. It employs 6,000 workers and lists eight offices in the US.

In a statement on Wednesday it said: "ARM is complying with the latest restrictions set forth by the US government and is having ongoing conversations with the appropriate US government agencies to ensure we remain compliant.

"ARM values its relationship with our long-time partner HiSilicon and we are hopeful for a swift resolution on this matter."

Huawei has issued a brief statement of its own.

"We value our close relationships with our partners, but recognise the pressure some of them are under, as a result of politically motivated decisions," it said.

"We are confident this regrettable situation can be resolved and our priority remains to continue to deliver world-class technology and products to our customers around the world."

What is ARM?

ARM is a chip designer founded in 1990. In September 2016 it was acquired by Japanese telecoms giant Softbank, but remains based in Cambridge, UK.

ARM does not manufacture computer processors itself, but rather licenses its semiconductor technologies to others.

In some cases, manufacturers only license ARM's architecture, or "instruction sets", which determine how processors handle commands. This option gives chip-makers greater freedom to customise their own designs.

In other cases, manufacturers license ARM's processor core designs - which describes how the chips' transistors should be arranged. These blueprints still need to be combined with other elements - such as memory and radios - to create what is referred to as a system-on-chip.

As a result, when you hear talk of a device being powered by a Samsung Exynos, Qualcomm Snapdragon or Apple A11 chip - or one in a Huawei smartphone - it is still ARM's technology that is involved.

ARM's US headquarters are in San Jose, California, and the firm has offices in Washington, Arizona, Texas and Massachusetts.
Read more: What is ARM and why was it worth $24bn?
'Unfortunate situation'

ARM's staff were informed of the decision on 16 May, following the US Commerce Department's move to add Huawei to its "entity list" of companies with which American firms could no longer do business.

The BBC has also seen a company memo dated 18 May detailing the implications of the export ban.

On Monday 20 May, US government officials issued a 90-day reprieve on some of the restrictions in order to minimise immediate disruption. But ARM believes that the temporary licence involved does not apply to it.

A spokesman for ARM declined to offer any additional clarity about the current status of its Huawei contracts.

According to one memo, ARM staff were instructed to suspend all interactions with Huawei and its subsidiaries.

It advised staff to send a note informing Huawei (or related) employees that due to an "unfortunate situation", they were not allowed to "provide support, delivery technology (whether software, code, or other updates), engage in technical discussions, or otherwise discuss technical matters with Huawei, HiSilicon or any of the other named entities".

ARM staff that come into contact with employees at industry events must "politely decline and stop" any conversations about the business, the guidance said - stressing that individuals could be held personally liable for breaking the trade rules.

The ban also appeared to apply to ARM China, the China-based company in which ARM Holdings owns a 49% stake. It was set up as a joint venture with a Chinese investment consortium last year in order to enable ARM to develop, sell and offer support for its products in the region.

'Insurmountable obstacle'

Huawei told reporters on Tuesday that its "plan B" for software would be to develop its own operating system, something it has already been working on for some time. However, it will be significantly more difficult for the firm to source home-grown components of sufficient quality.

Huawei currently sources some of its chips from HiSilicon, which it owns. However, while produced in China, HiSilicon's chips are built using underlying technology created by ARM.

While HiSilicon and Huawei are free to carry on using and manufacturing existing chips, the ban would mean the company could no longer turn to ARM for assistance in developing components for devices in future.

HiSilicon's upcoming processor, Kirin 985, is due be used in Huawei devices later this year. According to a source at ARM, it is not expected to be affected by the ban. However, the next iteration of the chip has not yet been completed - and is likely to need to be rebuilt from scratch, the source said.

Huawei also uses ARM's designs for its recently unveiled Kunpeng chips. These are used to power its TaiShan-series computer servers, which are designed to provide cloud computing and storage to clients.

In addition, the company told analysts in January that the Tiangang chip at the heart of its 5G base stations is also ARM-based.

"The problem of the whole telecoms industry is that so much of it is based on the exchange of technology between different companies - whether that's chip companies, software providers or the makers of other hardware," commented Alan Burkitt-Gray, editor-at-large of the telecoms news site Capacity Media.

He added that Huawei would likely face other problems licensing 5G-related tech from others, and in turn US-based companies would now be unable to licence the Chinese company's 5G inventions.

"This will carve out a chasm in the industry between Huawei-originated intellectual property and the rest of the world's," he said.

"It's just a total mess and it's happened at a critical time for the rollout of 5G."

The relationship between ARM and Huawei engineers is tight - earlier this month Huawei announced its intention to build a research centre only 15 minutes from ARM's headquarters in Cambridge, UK.

"ARM is the foundation of Huawei's smartphone chip designs, so this is an insurmountable obstacle for Huawei," said Geoff Blaber, from CCS Insight.

"That said, with an abundance of companies in Huawei's supply chain already having taken action to comply with the US order, Huawei's ability to operate was already severely affected."

What is not yet clear is whether ARM is acting on its own interpretation of the US rules, or whether it has been advised by the Commerce Department.

"If that interpretation is correct, that's going to affect every semiconductor company in the world," remarked analyst Lee Ratliff, from IHS Markit.

"They're not going to be able to easily replace these parts with new, in-house designs - the semiconductor industry in China is nascent."

The failed bid to merge with rival Asda cost Sainsbury's £46m, the supermarket giant has said.

In April, a proposed merger between Sainsbury's and Asda was blocked by the UK's competition watchdog over fears it would raise prices for consumers.

Sainsbury's said that like-for-like sales growth continued to slow in the fourth quarter, especially over the Christmas period.

It added it would accelerate investment in its store estate and technology.

Fourth-quarter sales fell 0.9%, having fallen 1.1% over Christmas.

In the year ending 9 March, profit before tax fell to £239m, from £409m the previous year. Costs for the year included the failed Asda bid, restructuring costs of £81m and defined benefit pension expenses of £118m.

Chief executive Mike Coupe told the BBC's Today programme: "Well, we draw a line under the past... The authorities blocked the deal, but we think our business is adapting to the changing world of retail, and we will will carry on investing in our business."

Mr Coupe said Sainsbury's would invest in 400 supermarkets over the next year and would continue to invest in online sales.

He added that he would be "sticking to the company" when questioned about whether he had been asked to step down after the failed merger.
