the same goal, which is in the best interest of the country. the major political parties could try to challenge the legality of food and appointment at any policies. her new government tries to enact without the suspended parliament's consent, a decent national boot and is a name of prime minister. but she served at the pleasure of a president who rules by decree, what real power she has to act independently remains unclear. the prime minister will be under pressure to move quickly to seek financial support for a budget and debt repayment. talks with the international monetary fund were put on hold in july after president side power grant bonus era, and people in china's northeastern province is being forced to rely on torches and generators. as power cuts into a 2nd week, co shortages and local government attempts to curb electricity use of left homes and factories without power. people on social media express their concerns about

not having electricity or heat as winter approaches. stake media says local governments have signed long term cold contracts and railways of stepped up deliveries to prevent more out and use a rub. my bride joins us live now from hong kong. rob, so what's causing these power cuts in china and how wide spread? ave it is a combination of factors, it's past partly the cost of coal. it's also the system by which coal is used in energy generation in china and how that's charged. but it's the coming together of a number of different factors that has caused these rolling power cuts across something like 2 thirds of the provinces of china. it's affecting don't only domestic supply. so people are having to endure power cuts, but they're also now really impacting industry, especially the energy hungry industries like cement production of the number of cement plans to close down. but also some high tech production such a test because apple is also been impacted. companies that rely upon simple

mechanical components, for example, further down the supply chain from china. so that is being impacted. so it is a real concern. in fact, some predictions for the g d p growth for this year in china. now having to be revisited with predictions that it might be a full half a percent less than was anticipated. so the government is taking various measures to try to deal with it. it is introduced cole rationing, also looking for other supplies from neighboring countries like russia or the parts of asia. but it doesn't necessarily mean that the price of the coal is going to be the less. the fact that's part of the problem is the system in place. in china because the government controls the price at which electricity is sold to the country as the price of coal has risen, that's made it harder for the power generation companies to actually make a profit. so they've had to cut, they've been cutting back production. and in some cases, even closing down unprofitable coal generation electricity generating coal fired

power plants and rob it's national de, in china tomorrow. other power cuts then like the effect celebrations. they will probably not affect it in physical terms. this is not as big a celebration as, for example, 2 years ago when we have the 70th anniversary of the founding of the payoff. see, but he does come. the timing is unfortunate. china never wants anything to overshadow. what should be a day of celebration, but more importantly, it is more it does point up the conundrum. full. the chinese central government in particular for president she g and paying, he has made it his mission to try to turn china into a good environmental example to the world. a good environmental stewart. and as part of that, that means cutting back, weaning itself off the consumption of coal. and so for example, is the outline that the un general assembly, they, china wants to see peak coal production and carbon emissions by 2030. and after

that start transitioning to a green that cleaner economy. but in order to do that, it has to cut back hold carbon emissions. and the problem seems to be the disconnect between central government and some of the provinces. because provincial governments have been set these targets of cutting back on carbon emissions. the easiest way of doing that is just to cut down the amount of coal being burned, which then leads to these problems. and the biggest concern for october, the 1st is that that is the start of golden week when literally hundreds of millions of people across china start traveling for a very important national holiday, which again puts a further strain on energy supply. all right, i wrote mcbride live 1st there in hong kong. rob, thank now the death told from a battle between rival drug gangs prison in ecuador has risen to at least a 100. it took police and soldiers 5 hours to regain control to the facility. or last, america edit elissia newman reports. it was
