Corruption is the biggest threat faced by our party we can only get out of the historical cycle and ensure the long term stability of apology and a country if we persevered in the continuous fight against corruption to deal with that our government its officials and policies. While critics accuse she if using his Anticorruption Campaign to purge political opponents hes already seen as chinas most powerful leader in a generation the ruling politburo is expected to be stacked with his allies when its named next week wasnt just clean politics she touched on what also the dangers posed by Climate Change saying china must cooperate with other nations to as he put it ensure the survival of mankind adrian brown has more from the congress in beijing. Well president xi jinping spoke for incredible three and a half hours which proves if little else hes in good Health Healthy enough to perhaps rule china for the next fifteen twenty years even president xi jinping outlined a number of important issues during his address he said that china remained committed to fighting Climate Change you also warned against independence for taiwan and on the economy rarely he warned that china face severe challenges in the years ahead he also said that socialism with chinese characteristics the formula that has underpinned chinas economy for the last three decades was now entering a new stage he also warned that the campaign against corruption would continue that corruption has so far purged more than one point four Million Party members the party really has been through a very tumultuous time in the past few years and the r. P. Evil is by no means over but on wednesday we got a picture of choreographed unity this congress of course is all about president xi jinping and the fact that he could emerge Even Stronger the party has been told that an important amendment will be made to the constitution which could possibly mean to the thoughts and writings of xi jinping will become the partys guiding ideology in the future now we should know if thats going to happen next week when the Party Congress closes on wednesday and thats when the new leadership will also be unveiled but if she jinping gets his way he will emerge as the strongest leader china has had since chairman mao who led the communist to power sixty eight years ago victor gao is the director of the China National association of International Studies he expects she to have an impact on chinese politics for decades to come. There is generally expect asian that new amendments will be written into the communist party of chinas constitution and it will include them are other things the major initiatives that president xi jinping over the past five years have. In china and on the global stage and we still need to wait until we see the final version of the amendments and whether they will be adopted by the Party Delegates as to for example where there will be major changes in the structure of the leadership of the communist party of china as well as for example the limitation of the terms of office for example and i would say the general believe is that these new amendments will enable president xi jinping to become a more effective leader not only in the coming five years but most likely probably beyond the second term and into the future years and possibly even decades the iraqi army says its sheaves its goals in the operation to take back her it is held territory in the north its now in control of areas around mosul province including the mosul down Kurdish Forces pulled out of several towns and oil fields in recent days forced by an Iraqi Military advance the towns were seized by the Kurdish Peshmerga over the past three years as part of the war against i saw the iraqi offensive began on monday when iraqi troops moved into the contested city of kirk Prime Minister hi there labadee has ordered his forces to say by kurdish held areas lying outside the autonomous region that are bad he says kurdish hopes for an independent state are now a thing of the past trial stratford has more from erbil.
