7:20 pm
2nd place was taken by jeremy hunt the foreign secretary we had 43 so a $171.00 vote difference between the 2 the question is of course. contenders are gradually eliminated and their votes of them passed on to the front runners will any of the 2nd or 3rd place front runners be able to make up that gap between boris johnson and those who are also hoping now to beat him the likes of michael gove the environment secretary as well who came in 3rd in the 1st round boris johnson has very much appeal to members of the conservative party to tory m.p.'s who all fed up with bracks it not being delivered he's been uncompromising in his stance when it comes to ongoing talks with the e.u. and has said very clearly we have a without a deal the u.k. will leave the e.u. on october 31st is seen by many if there is a general election at the end of all if they are the only person who may be able to unite the party and continue to get support from across the country as well to
7:21 pm
avoid the conservative party being completely decimated further down the line all they saw of course still has to be decided over the next few days yeah and do tell us what happens over the next few days how long will this process take. well from start to finish 6 weeks in total but specifically talking about this week they'll be secret ballots by conservative m.p.'s every day until thursday by thursday the hope is it will be a 2 horse race the predictions are of course that boris johnson will be one of the 2 in the final race then it's opened up to members of the conservative party these subscribers for full fee paying members of the tory party you'll be able to vote by post or vote only 4 weeks after that sort of around the week of the 22nd of july we have an idea of who the next prime minister will be they will of course of a massive impact on bricks it but also on british politics for many months and

7:23 pm
failure is. well if it goes a certain way but really the problem is that they're not naming any names they're not saying who on the u.n. country team or who in new york was responsible for this the problem we have here is that this is a report about accountability where no one is held accountable alternately you know everybody blames the system everybody said that there needs to be better coordination there need to be better communication this is almost a parody of discussions about u.n. reform where you know the system is always to blame but no one is in charge of the system well i think that actually it should have been the un resident coordinator the person who is in charge of the u.n. country team in myanmar who presided over this mess and continually downplayed the severity of the crisis i mean she was basically silencing colleagues who wanted to talk up the issues of human rights and increased warnings about the situation rakhine state instead she's been promoted she's now the un accord and india so i
7:24 pm
mean i think once again we see that talk about accountability in the u.n. but really this is a check the box exercise trying to. basically protected myanmar from the kind of sanctions it should have faced from the u.n. security council you know there should have been refer all of what happened in rakhine state to the international criminal court but you know trying as blocking that to so i mean trying to is defending crimes against humanity and genocide by the burmese military and unfortunate because they're a permanent member of the u.n. security council they get away with it hong kong's leader carry now has offered what she calls her most sincere apology for the way an extradition bail has been handled she's under increasing pressure from protesters of organized inspirations demanding his resignation not my primary for some. with anger still festering in spite of a statement apologizing for handling of this controversy hong kong's leader kerry

7:26 pm
afternoon we put a stop to the legislative exercise by informing the legislative council that the bill will no longer proceed to 2nd reading debate but what caroline is offering still falls short of a complete withdrawal of this bill that it seems could be too much of a loss of face for her by association for beijing but that's exactly what her opponents are still demanding an alliance of pro-democracy and student groups are promising to continue their campaign of opposition carry lamb is actually presenting to the rest of the word that administration it's going to be a lame duck and ministration because she would have a very hot line in governing hong kong from now on after last sunday's unprecedented march by an estimated 2000000 people opposition groups do not want to lose the momentum but possibly using the expanded ranks of activists in more
7:27 pm

hit before it's been more than 15 years since the british french concorde stopped flying it was a feat of engineering it could only fly over the sea it supersonic speeds though because of the very noisy sonic boom and despite his popularity it never broke even financially challenges all that the computer world has changed as concorde. environment restrictions noise so thing around airports have a much stricter so how does that fit in on the other hand compensate structures materials see if the modeling engine technology they've all improved. this could be interesting to see how it turns out if supersonic travel becomes a reality again the 7 and a half hour flight between paris new york would be hard and a new generation of people could experience travelling through the sky at breathtaking speed it's all just 0 paris. facebook is
