I the movement started over a bill that would have allowed extraditions from hong kong to Mainland China it was permanently show. But the movement grew and intensified mainly because of what protesters have said is the heavy handed treatment by police as a crackdown on the protests and an authorized marches for the majority of this authorized marked. Through Central Hong Kong here the protesters faced little resistance from the police the police were there but there really wasnt any confrontation it was when they got close to the government complex here their final destination where there have been kind of frontlines theres been confrontation and then a push back and then another front line is been established the police just on the other side and thats one of the front lines here on one side of the government complex.

I say gender is not listening oh yes actually you did also know. That for years the director said oh yes arent we just going to get our johnson has a strategy now of saying bracks is a matter of people versus paul events but then hes a blocking the will of the people to deliver bricks its the trouble is that augment doesnt really work in manchester in sunrise is quite a controversial choice for the conservatives to try to hold that conference in manchester for 5 days and they say see their own labor people here dont like the conservatives they dont like Boris Johnson i dont really like bricks its only the. Johnson is trying to keep a grip on the agenda visiting the hospital to publicize a policy of putting more money into health care but what he calls or once explained is how he will ensure the u. K. Leaves the e. U. At the end of october while simultaneously abating a law passed in parliament the says hes not allowed to without an agreement what we are going to do is work very hard to get a deal and then. If we cant we will make sure we come out on october 31st but probably better if i. Focus on getting the deal rather than discussing the hypothesis of what happens if we if we cant it is entirely the protesters who are on the move over the coming days while the conference is sitting opposition m. P. s are likely to finalize plans to bring johnson down in a vote of confidence looking like hes in charge is no easy task for this Prime Minister lawrence lee aljazeera manchester.

Hes lost a significant number of his own m. P. s who are unhappy with his aggressive strategy and also his language in the house of commons but at the same time he is going to speak to a conservative party that is broadly united in wanting to deliver corrected as quickly as possible and his strategy or switch is now. Reflected in the slogan get rex it done is going to be focused overwhelmingly this week on keeping those conservative members on side the vast majority of conservative voters and the overwhelming majority of conservative members are pro brett said but of course what Boris Johnson is really doing by doubling down on this for exit strategy is he is reshaping the conservative party. Has not only reach shaping britains well a ship with europe it is also making the conservative party a little bit more pro bracks and what does that mean Boris Johnson is attracting more working class voters and hes attracting more voters in the north of england and traditionally labor areas and so hes losing some of the more middle Class Program main voters in the south and fundamentally i would argue he is changing the dynamic of the conservative party electorate.

The Vice President who owns the cars teodor and obiang is also the president s son president Teodoro Obiang is the longest serving african leader in power for 40 years both father and son have been accused of widespread corruption and embezzlement of public funds equitorial guinea is the richest country per capita in africa g. To its massive oil reserves yet more than half of its population lives below the poverty line and it sits near the bottom of the u. N. Human Development Index with low Life Expectancy and low education rates the 51 year old Vice President lives a life of luxury through super super yachts and lavish holidays he was convicted in 2017 by a paris court of siphoning public funds to buy assets in france. And reduces do know who is a business and Human Rights Research are at Human Rights Watch and she joins us now live from new york sara thank you very much for joining us what more do we know about the president s son i gather he was being prepared for power in the country. Thank you very much for having me so this swiss case is the most recent in a string of international question best occasions against him as you mentioned the. French convicted him in 2017 there was a u. S. Investigation that results in the complication of 35000000. 00 and he he has known wealth exceed 500000000. 00 his only known profession is only known job has been posts in the in the government. And at the same time that he has. Amassed this enormous wealth the people in equitorial guinea live without access to Quality Health Care Education safety and Drinking Water and so these Corruption Cases are an effort to bring to take the money that is stolen and repatriate it for the benefit of ordinary a trail of canadians you talk to the poor of the year but no given the distinct difference between those at the very top of the ladder in the country and those at the bottom surely the people must be outraged ordinary people on the streets of the country. Well its very difficult to know if theyre outraged or not because there is no tolerance for any sort of criticism for the government there are people sitting in jail right now in preventative its detention without having had any trials because they criticize government spending. At the same time the i. M. F.

These verdicts in these various cases against them theres offenses actually quite incredible for quite a few of these cases the government or the person accused has argued that there is no offense to the crime of corruption of taking money from public contracts. For minister is not actually against equitable can in law and so they argue that it cant be corruption because there is no. Violation of any crime within the country and so that not only has there not been any internal investigations into somebody like tutoring who has been accused and actually convicted of corruption in equitorial guinea but he has actually gone up through the ranks now he now hes Vice President of the country which means under the constitution if is if his father who is about 70 years old becomes incapacitated or retires or dies then tutoring would become president.
