china's lead a she gin, paying coals for military growth and defense. his policies on taiwan and hong kong and a major party congress. ah, hello, i'm having to think of this is edge, live from the house or coming up. the calling for change demonstrates us back on the streets. it's in is demanding, the president and his government stepped down. we follow the plight of people in nigeria who have lost everything after the worst flooding in a decade. and is her time nearly up mounting pressure on the u. k. prime minister, after just weeks in the job? ah,
10:02 am
president she g and ping. it says china must ensure hong kong is ruled by what he calls patriots. whose opening the twice a decade communist party congress in beijing, g to thousands of delicates his nation will strengthen its ability to build a strategic karen capability. on the issue of taiwan, china's leader once again warned he would not rule out using force to bring the self governing island under its control. she wouldn't fuji that she resolving the ty. one question is a matter for the chinese a matter that must be resolved by the chinese. we will continue to strive for a peaceful reification with the greatest sincerity and utmost effort. but we will never promise to renounce the use of force and we reserved the option of taking all measures necessary. this is directed solely. i didn't appearance by outside horses for patrick falk has more on presidents. she's speech from beijing. key
10:03 am
outlines and the key achievements of the party talking about how it had to successfully managed curve at 19 defended curve at 19 policy. that, of course, is very much in focus. it talks about raining in hong kong and bringing an end to the unrest and opposing taiwan separate his forces. he also talked about how the anti corruption, a ger drive, had achieved a resounding victory and had eliminated risks from the party. but all of this really is part and parcel one might argue, all trying to justify what was previously an unconstitutional 3rd term. and of course we are expecting present, she to secure that's a 3rd term at the helm. he did also say that the government approved the political system in recent years, and we are of course, expecting some potentially big changes to the political system. he said that the great rejuvenation of the chinese nation was irreversible. so that seems to put an
10:04 am
emphasis on the need for continuity. but she didn't thing is set to secure a historic 3rd term as leader of the world's most populous nation. adrian brown looks at his political rise. president, teaching pigs grip on power would now appear absolute. if he has enemies, did the hidden or unknown or both. but some of those who chronicled she's curious say, you don't get to the top of chinese politics without eliminating rivals and making enemies. he does, but it needs to be said that the congress has an active state pageantry. the fact that this congress is happening means that these rivals have already been largely pushed to the sidelines after becoming coming to party chief a decade ago. she vowed to route out dishonest officials, both high ranking tigers and low level flies. the campaign went down well with the public,
10:05 am
especially when it ensnared powerful and wealthy figures. bocce eli was the rising star of chinese politics. even tip as a future president. but within months of he becoming leader bo was serving a life sentence for corruption and abuse of power. no one was untouchable, including joe young kang, the man who'd been in charge of state security. he said he's also serving a life term for corruption and disclosure of state secrets, and the purge is not over and more than 4000000 people have been caught up in it. so it's been a very effective tool to fijian paying to both in still discipline with the communist party, but also clamped down on his rivals. other analysts say the continuing campaign against corruption ahead of his congress would ensure that she strengthens his hand over appointments to key decision making bodies. she has let china per decade
10:06 am
now he's expected to end precedent by being appointed to a 3rd term as party chief. so having seized control of the chinese communist party, said you can then seize control of china and china has become a lot less free, a lot more oppressive, far less open than it was. 10 years ago. it an accumulation of power unseen. since chairman and the leader since him has built a personality cold as strong adrian brown al jazeera, let's bring in victor gao in beijing. he is the vice president of the center for china and globalization and a veteran, political commentator on china. thanks for being with us. so what stands out to you from a she's speech and what does it tell us about china's future plans? well, i listened very carefully to the modern speech that she knew being made at the beginning
10:07 am
of the country of hearty congress. i think that over gates now are poring over his words and try to make their own contribution to possibly, you know, additional ideas. patients and advisory opinions as to how this speech eventually can be a better revised to become the official document for the communist party of china. this is part of the whole process of this party congress. and then in the coming days, there will be a major profound re shopping of the top leadership roles within the communist party in the central committee of the blue bureau. as well as the standing committee of the blue color bureau, i would say, as a result of the twenty's party congress, the communist party of china will be more united than ever before in recent memory . and the new central committee and the police bureau understanding too much of the
10:08 am
believe bureau will be a really, really dedicated c, b c to greater reform and opening to the outside world. because the coming 5 years will be crucial for china in terms of the growing size of china's economy, in terms of the growing impact of china as a country on the global stage. and also what child needs to do to stand the head we caused by the united states that particular and how to navigate through very great difficulties and challenges in china's general relations with the west blanche. all these are important things to be thrashed out at the party congress and eventually the decision is made will have impacts for the coming family as a b r. i want to ask you about the chinese covered policy because we didn't hear much from she didn't ping about the very draconian anti coven policy that the country has. but we did hear enough to know that there will be no change in our
10:09 am
policy. has been marked by frequent locked downs and has caused widespread frustration and economic damage to, to, to many chinese people. what should we make of that? first of all, the dynamic 0, a colleague policy in china is the most successful anti pandemic policy in the whole world. no country can even dare to do anything as close out what channel history this policy is based on science. and it's motivation is to save as many people as possible in china from getting infections or dying from the infectious in that case, can are saved as many people as possible. if you compare china situation with the united states on many other countries, not only in the developed countries, but also in developing touches, i think the chinese nation shall be as proud as they can be of the great achievements that china has achieved in fighting of this plan that meet now in pursuing this policy,
10:10 am
i do think there will be no inconveniences or hassles. of course they create inconveniences to many people, including people like me in our daily life. however, we all realize that there is a greater good for this dynamic 0 co policy because it's meant to save as many people as possible in china, including especially the elderly people in china. we do not want to see that elderly people or other people in other age groups. if get i can infectious. i think this is part of the human right. if i could just look, i could just jump in. if i could just jump in here, victor, because our time is unfortunately limited, i want to ask you about what he said about sam, taiwan. many people outside of china will, will view this as a kind of confrontational or what, what are the, what do you make of that? absolutely not in a china or has sovereign g over taiwan. there is only one. china and taiwan is part of china. china's policy ever since 1949 is to achieve national rena vacation.
10:11 am
you know the charlie's military is called the people's liberation army of china. meaning it wants to liberate the popularity of china. china now liberated everything everywhere in china's mainland. in 19491950 taiwan has been the only missing piece. eventually taiwan will be reunited ever since the beginning of the 1980 s child has been pursuing the peaceful re notification. it remains the dominant policy of charla in terms of how we want to achieve britain if occasion with taiwan. however, if there are people in try was, will still want to promote separatism, are independent of taiwan, aided and abetted by some foreign countries. of course, china we will get whatever means possible to bring victor. i'm back, victor, go, we're gonna have to leave it there. appreciate your perspective on this. as always, thanks for the night you

10:29 am
has done so far was a mistake to cut the top rate of tax at a period when we were asking every one to make sacrifices. and it was a mistake to fly blind and not to back up the economic plans that were announced with an independent forecast from the office for budget responsibility. while hunt says he supports growing the economy, he's talking of increasing some taxes. the only cuts will be on some of the spending. ministers and party grandees would normally look to number 10 for solutions and tactics. not now. it's number 11. jeremy hunt, the 4th chancellor. in a matter of a 100 days, he's got a strong background and it would appear. he has a mandate to rewrite large parts of important government policy. some and the conservative party say, trust has become a lame duck prime minister because she's appointed hunt. he is the dominant figure in the government. i mean, you could imagine, can you,
