The Detention Center holes, many of Iran Political prisoners vessels, other has more for me to run. It was a pan p. M. Local time on saturday, inter around when the fire broke out in the prison and quickly spread across the other. The other was right after that they have heard the shot guns and also exclusion, like songs that were just just around while the smoke and the fire was, was rising, abode the abode in the prison. So officials are seeing that there was a fight between the prisoners as some of the prisoners said the fire on this shooting workshop in the prison. That is the cause of the fire right after that the Security Forces added to the scene and brow distribution on the control the, the governor off their run, my my suit. He said that the fight was between the prisoners who were convicted because of the taft or the financial throat, and that no Political Prisoners have been involved in this over at the moment. It is quite difficult to really where to find that right off the eastern to police in the prison. We have seen that all the old roads around the prison were blocked by Security Forces, but there had been some support reddick protests also taking place around that. And also the families went in front of the prison and they were very much concerned about the safety of the relative, but unfortunate today, some of them have received a bad news on president a by, by you see, has accused his u.

Now he opened the Party Congress where his life it is co, a 3rd term is defended, his government 0 recovered policy saying it put lives 1st. Adrian brown reports. 2 2 a day that offers a glimpse into the secret world of chinas communist party. For a few hours, the media are allowed into beijings great hold of the people for a tightly control pageant. The opening of the Party Congress held every 5 years. And this ones being closely watched. Normally, chinese leaders stand down after serving 10 years in office. But cheating ping is expected to break convention by being appointed for another 5 years. He presented himself as a humble servant of the party, but a party thats been re made in his image says one expert. So having seized control in the Chinese Communist party sees him, can then seize control of china, and china has become a lot less free, a lot more aggressive, far less. And then it wise, 10 years ago the Congress Comes at a turbulent time for china. Shes 0 cobit policy has trapped millions of people in a series of stop start, lock, downs, borders remain close to most foreigners. Many overseas investors of fled. Shes focus here though, was on the positive food. Shell either sing for aging. We adhere to the principles of people 1st life 1st, and also firmly adhered to the dynamic 0 cove. It policy to carry out the fight against the pandemic, the peoples war to protect peoples life and physical health to the maximum. By the time this Congress Ends sheeting, pings grip on power will likely be absolute without the people of china having their se, adrian brown al jazeera, she used his opening speech to raise the issue of hong kong, saying it must be ruled by what he called patriots chem entered ship. We will fully faithfully and resolutely implement the policy of one country to systems under which the people of hong kong administer, hong kong and the people of macau, administered macau, both with a degree of autonomy, we will remain committed to law based governance in hong kong and macau will ensure the Central Government exercises overall jurisdictions over the 2 regions. We will see that hong kong and macau are administered by patriot log. Jessica washington has reaction from hong kong. Well, the congress is being received here in hong kong with varying degrees of interest. Some organizations here in hong kong, organized events for people to watch president. Shes speech for many others are just going about their normal daily life. Its worth noting that this Congress Takes place as hong kong has experience. Some rather dramatic changes in recent years under president sheet and paint leadership, namely the introduction in 2020 of a National Security law in response to the unrest that the city experienced in 2019 over concerns about aging growing influence in the city. And then in 2021, some changes to the home homes electro system. So what were likely to see over the course of the congress is a reiteration of the past. The staging sees as being most appropriate for the city and the, the parts of the city is already on. China has been accused of taking advantage of developing countries, especially those in african lex explore that. Now with michael and now hes interesting senior fellow at the London School of economics in joins now from chatham, in se thing that mr. Mary could have you back on the program and me, chinas influence and postering and asia pacific is very of that. And its that role to see, but theres been sort of a distinct policy change when it comes to influencing africa. Since colonial powers, you might say, withdrew from sort of the mid fiftys. Yes, i just said, i mean, because the point where working partners were not willing to support development financing, but you can leave in and have me infrastructure. But when it comes to heavy development infrastructure, for example, or to have those efforts, growth bridges, hospitals are kind of have an instrumental in mickey. So that actually was able to be done in africa in the last 20 years, at least. Indeed, i mean it just in the research from the Foreign Policy research institute, it published in january this year. I mean, i could talk for every day about the statistics. They gave it how much investment china has made in africa and how much money they plowed in just in terms of Foreign Direct Investment up to 2015. It was about 55000000000. Was the strategic move for china in investing in a constant continent like africa . When most of its you might say strategic political of mil tree view is really of asia pacific. What does africa give them . Yes, good question. I think come, its a win win situation with tanner in africa. Were africa gift china is natural resources, for example, crude oil, mineral resources. And, and were asked if i get from china is development. Financing for heavy development is for structure, as ive mentioned earlier. And its quite a positive win win, you know, relationship that has the on bay for the past 20 years. Nothing. Both families are quite content with whats happening. So family. But maybe there are a few kids along the line where the death distress and with mean bass, it becomes a little more challenging for so african can fish to do so. Overall theres a win win situation between at the current time. If thats the case, then obviously an issue there was a moment where the former secretary of state john bolton under the trump administration, had talked or characterized Chinese Investment in africa was predatory. And i quote, he says, as trustees, strategic use of debt to whole states, nafrica captive to beijings wishes and demands. Weve seen site murmurings of this with sort of sri lanka. And its a port switch have been, you might say, bought or controlled by china kanyes. Railways, weve just seen some pictures of that on our, all our Television Screen here, sort of Financial News that america sort of beats china over the head wave. But america has never on the west has never really, as you say, finance those big, heavy industrial structural support programs, africa needs to develop thats right. And thats the very reason why i think congress happy to benefit him from the Development Finance that hes getting off from china. I mean, he would expect on board to, to speak along those lines. Nothing. We are aware of the global competition between the United States and china, but i think africa is more interested in working with Development Partners for its on progress. And its not so much interested in the competition between china and the u. S. As its where it is, africa interests with china that really matters the most. And i think china also has an interest in getting the not true sources that you need. And i think that combination works well for both partners. I and most importantly also that i saw of the Development Projects are quantum builds or, or k r, the very fast rate, which is exactly what after carlos will needs as well to be able to have those they, for structural base to actually get on with its projects, particularly now granted in to be an off across in the continent of free trade. And theres quite a lot of heavy trust what infrastructure across countries that really have to be ready for his takeoff. How bus roads, networks, bridges, one cross counties and all that. And i think that its a win win situation for china in africa the moment it could fit your inside, michael, a bertha from the London School of economics. Thats the joining us. Thank you. Since you had here on the news are including the some of the smaller part of the call is a big change in the country. Politics and francis takes aim at the u. N.

And also a thermal power plant was hit and power blackout resulted from boss. And in the last several months, these sorts of attack sometimes by helicopters from time to rockets and sometimes explosions, the russians were not explaining, have been continued and people fled in. There are thousands tourism has been effected, airports have been closed, and the russians are saying that russian people are saying that this situation cannot continue. And the leadership has to offer the questions about it. And it has to take drastic measures to stop this type of things. Because the war in the 1st place came to protect russia from outside, the aggression of the rhetoric goes here. And a large part of ukraine have now being next russia also in the name of protecting russia, against, against aggression. And they are saying that this cant continue. You could, the military has, we taken dozens of villages in the south, but it says russian falls is trying to push back against its counter offensive.
