[Allen:] Welcome back. 40,000 riot police are on standby in the capital of Indonesia following deadly post-election unrest. At least six people were killed, hundreds injured, when protesters faced off against security forces. More than 250 people were arrested during a night filled with tear gas, rocks and fireworks, as you can certainly see there. The violence was triggered when election officials certified president Joko Widodo as the winner of last month's election. Opposition leaders allege the voting was rigged and say they plan to file a lawsuit challenging the results. The results of India's six week national election should come into sharper focus over the next few hours. The main question, will prime minister Narendra Modi and his party, the BJP, keep their majority in Parliament when the final tally is announced. CNN's Sam Kiley is live for us at BJP headquarters. Hello to you, Sam. When are the results expected and what is the anticipation where you are?
[Sam Kiley, Cnn Senior International Correspondent:] Well, Natalie, no official seats declared but all the indications are coming from the Indian electoral commission that the BJP is well in the lead with some 290 seats drifting their way; none formally declared, as I stress. But they are in the lead in 290-plus constituencies, which means that they are well over the 272-seat threshold that they need in the Indian parliament to form an absolute majority. Back in 2014 it was the BJP which won the first outright majority in about 30 years with Mr. Modi at the helm. Over the last election, we have seen this very much concentrated in an American style election, if you like, with Mr. Modi being the center of attention rather than focus being on his party. He has managed also to duck some of the failures, the opposition would have said, in terms of his economic policies, with declining support in the rural areas, for example, where a lot of his support traditionally came from mainly because of a bump in his security credentials as a consequence of India's reaction to what they say it was a Pakistani inspired bombing in Kashmir when 40 security forces were killed. And India struck back inside Pakistani territory with airstrikes, allowing him to campaign with the slogan that he is the guardsman, the watchkeeper, if you like, for the security of the nation, very much focusing attention on himself rather than the party. And that seems to be paying off with him in a clear lead, not only in the exit polls, Natalie, published on Sunday but now in the early stages of the actual results coming out, though, as I stress, no seats have actually been declared but the broad trajectory is for an overwhelming BJP majority here in the Indian parliament. This is the biggest exercise in democracy in the history of mankind. More than 600 million voters turned out, 900 million people potential, 67 percent of the population, a big turnout in this country of 1.3 billion people Natalie.
[Allen:] That is an impressive turnout. All right, we will wait and see the results. Sam Kiley give us the perspective. Sam, thank you. The U.S. blacklisting of Huawei is already having a global domino effect. Mobile networks in Europe and Asia are dropping deals with the Chinese telecom giant. This comes after Google says it can only service existing Huawei phones for the next 90 days. And popular apps like Gmail, YouTube and Google Maps will not be accessible on Huawei's new phones. That freezes out ride hailing and food delivery apps, which rely on services like Google Maps. China has accused the U.S. of bullying Chinese companies for political reasons and is demanding fair treatment from its trading partners.
[Lu Kang, Chinese Foreign Ministry:] We have repeatedly expressed China's position as opposing the United States' abuse of national power, to willfully smear and suppress other countries' companies, including Chinese companies. China has always required Chinese companies to abide by international norms when investing abroad but, at the same time, we always demand that other countries give Chinese enterprises fair and nondiscriminatory treatment.
[Allen:] Our Sherisse Pham is in Hong Kong with more on the wide- reaching impact of the U.S. blacklisting that Huawei is having.
[Sherisse Pham, Cnn Business Correspondent:] Global companies are pulling away from Huawei. Top mobile carriers in Japan and the U.K. delaying the launch in sales of new Huawei phones. EE and Vodafone in the U.K. pressing pause on Huawei's new 5G phones, Vodafone saying in a statement today, "We are pausing preorders for the Huawei Mate 20X 5G in the U.K. This is a temporary measure while uncertainty exists regarding new Huawei 5G devices." Over in Japan, NTT Docomo has stopped taking reservations for Huawei's P30 Lite phone. KDDI and SoftBank saying they will delay the launch of that phone. Now these moves come after Google signaled that Huawei's latest smartphones will not have access to Google's popular apps and services. That makes Huawei phones a lot less attractive to international consumers. It means they won't have Google Play or Gmail or YouTube. Also a lot of third-party apps, like Uber and Deliver Route, rely on services like Google Maps. Without access to Google's ecosystems, Huawei phones lose a lot of their functionality. Huawei is the world's second largest smartphone seller. They said they were going to overtake Samsung in the top slot by next year. All of that now in doubt, as the Trump administration cuts off access to U.S. tech and products. Beijing defending Chinese companies today, calling the U.S. actions "an abuse of state power meant to smear Chinese companies" Sherisse Pham, CNN, Hong Kong.
