In the city is still partly in shutdown we have more than half the Railway System the empty awesome power lines we got 50 empty shots but the clean up has started another rough place have already cleared out most of these protesters but we have pockets still going ahead the title is a difficulty that began peacefully we had tens of thousands of people rally at where we are now which thing called by by and conduct a peaceful march all the life from here into central and thats when things started to unravel when the place just a stop at their disposal but these protesters had one i am and that was to upset will spoil beijings 70th anniversary celebrations and thats exactly what they did. Well despite the violence chinas capital is marking the anniversary with mass celebrations. Will beijing is topping off a day displaying its military might sway with these parades and to show you how much has changed since the start of communist rule 70 years ago the message is intended to be one of wealth and power matheson has more now from beijing. Aircraft funded through the skies above beijing of Armored Vehicles rumbled through china square a display of chinas military strength as president xi jinping calls for economic and political confidence and sends a message to hong kong. We have to maintain their peaceful united one country 2 systems principle to keep hong kong and macau to long term prosperity and stability 70 years ago when gentleman square communist Party Chairman mao tse dong announced the founding of the peoples republic of china. In the following 27 years socalled great leap forward plan to boost farming and Industrial Production led to famine and the deaths of an estimated 30000000 people his cultural revolution clampdown and dissent a year after maos death in 1986 new leader dench helping declared china would open up internally and to the outside world the china of today bears little resemblance to the china of chairman mao the new middle class is getting wealthier and the countrys transformed itself into an economic global power but one of the central messages of things celebrations today seems to be a cautionary one yes we should have knowledge what china has achieved so far but there could be tough times ahead. For president xi as centralizing and strengthening control in beijing some of the president s political rivals have been swept up in his crackdown on corruption. As well as the ongoing protests in hong kong and allegations linked to human rights the trade war with the us is forcing chinas economy to slow. This is not a adversity of hiatts the taishan is going to be very glorious in the near future its an anniversary in which we look back on what china has been able to attain and we talk about a new era of sacrifices and struggle in 198910 and one square saw bloodshed when prodemocracy demonstrators stood up against tanks in 2019 china is determined to show that its military is stronger than ever but the success of president xi jinping his leadership may depend on how he handles chinas newfound perspire to matheson. Beijing. Well jeffrey biebers history is ambassador to china from 20702011 he says beijing is using the anniversary to highlight its successes but its challenges remain. I wouldnt overstate the Economic Issues the economy is still growing somewhere in the range of 6 percent which for a major country thats been going through 4 decades of uninterrupted Economic Growth is still an impressive figure peoples capita incomes will still double in 1314 years if that type of growth rate sustained the trade war with United States is a headwind but it actually feeds nationalist sentiment and the way she has played it i think hes been playing to his strengths in the Party Strengths and reminding people that its a hostile world out there and that Chinese People need the communist party to stand by them and defend their interests so. Whilst her head winds are the biggest and biggest challenge to she of course is hong kong and shes enemies of the leader at the at the top of leadership in china will be watching how he plays this very carefully because of course she has created many many enemies with ease and Corruption Campaign the use of that to lock up political opponents removal from power there are many enemies who are waiting to pounce and hong kong i think that is a touchstone for she and whether it provides an opportunity for his enemies to attack him. North Korea Says Nuclear negotiations with the us will receive on saturday the countries have agreed to talks which would break amongst long stalemates and kim jong un failed to reach an agreement on denuclearize sation on the Korean Peninsula when they met back in february and kim spoke again in june a historic meeting at the Demilitarized Zone between the 2 koreas. Now its been revealed that the u. S. President sought the help of another foreign leader for political gain donald trump asked a straight as Prime Minister to help the Justice Department investigate the moeller inquiry which examined russian interference in the 2016 election history then government admits its agreed to help reports. For us President Donald Trump right now its all about the investigations the impeachment investigation into his dealings with ukraine and now another one published reports say that the president reached out to australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison for help looking into how the investigation into Russian Election interference got started and hes not alone his attorney general william barr reportedly did the same with the United Kingdom and italy if true this would be unprecedented u. S. Officials asking allies to help them investigate u. S. Intelligence agencies and the congressional investigation into the ukrainian controversy is speeding ahead on monday new subpoenas for trans confidant Rudy Giulianis documents and his dealings with ukraine giuliani responded saying he might testify but is still claiming he is trumps lawyer which could imply Attorney Client privilege but analyst jeff hauser says giuliani has publicly said something very different Rudy Giuliani has said that he has not actually trumped personal attorney is doing essentially emissary work on behalf of trump as an. If you on the Trump Campaign and that does not provide any sort of privilege which would protect his documents from going to congress the president has been taking to twitter and to the cameras to pronounce hes done nothing wrong the response from democrats in congress will find out and fast political gain aljazeera washington for more lets cross to avoid has correspondent Kimberly Hall kits in washington d. C. Kimberly just how damaging is this sanctions allegation for president trump. Well a view sort of take from it the president s reaction the fact that part of me he continues to tweet feverish sleaze trying to set the tone in the narrative in his defense i would say that is pretty damaging at least thats perhaps how the president is perceiving it he has continued to tweet about this even in the last hour or so once again calling his telephone call with the leader of ukraine blood amirs lenski perfect in his view and is continuing to try and press for the identity of the whistleblower now this is certainly concerning to many on capitol hill and in fact its prompted in the last hour one of the top senators on the Senate Intelligence committee a democrat by the name of mark warner to call for the acting director of National Intelligence to publicly say that he would be willing to protect the whistleblower so that those that do come forward to expose fraud waste abuse in this case alleging the president abused his president ial powers to try and get some negative information on a political adversary that they would be protected the president is also making the case that this could have blowback for democrats and one of the tweets he sent out Tuesday Morning he simply sent out a map mostly colored in red with pockets of blue saying try to impeach this what the president is saying is that red generally represents the Republican Party blue the Democratic Party in essence arguing that this is only helping his Reelection Campaign in november of 2020. The u. S. President s putting up a few years defense own twist to the rest of the Republican Party indeed how are the public at large viewing this. And theres a challenge for the Republican Party in all of this because donald trump has typically been his own spokesperson the rest of the party has found itself floundering a little bit and so there was an effort over the weekend to try and unify that message the 2 talking points republicans are pressing right now is number one in the edited transcript of this telephone call that there was no quid pro quo in other words no promise to ukraine that military aid would only come if there was an investigation of Donald Trumps political adversary former Vice President joe biden the other talking point theyre making is that this does not as a result rise to the level of impeachment but i can tell you the ordinary voting public according to latest poll doesnt see it that way up 8 points from last week his support for the democrats impeachment inquiry kimberly hold for now thank you very much indeed. Theres lots more still to come on aljazeera including indonesias swears in a new government despite a might offer violent protests.
