the one the borders are close most of the time and the suffering incredibly economically. and basically, it's the people, especially young people, demanding the government to, to end the corruption and to devise the wealth of the country among the people. there will be differently people who will have to resign over or in this case. but i am not sure whether it will be as high as the primary or the present. then i would say brother, maybe some members of the parliament or some ministers or the heads of the department. people are incredibly frustrated and angry over over this case. because we'll do that, they will, they were a primary problem is when the whole mining sick the started was the wealth of the country we'll, we'll be also shared with them. and so far it's being more than 20 years, and they have not seen anything out of out of the 6. they're trying to it holding

a public memorial service to honor its former president john the men who died last week and says, president, she's paying giving an address at that memorial service right now. john was cremated on monday at a so many attended by top leaders from the communist party. the 96 year old died and shanghai from leukemia and multiple organ failure to speak now to patrick folk . he live for us in hong kong and budget. how is jung some in being remembered in hong kong? hello. i'm calling. we'll be observing 3 minutes of silence as part of the memorial today as will people across china. and he is being visited with this site here at the liaison office in hong kong and being by some people come in to pay their respects

and to bow before the former chinese leader beneath the chinese national flag. the proceedings are being ed and community centers across the city, and i felt a copy of today's oriental daily news with john and black and whites. as a matter of respect, you remember in hong kong, a force as the leader who oversaw the cities a hand over from britain back to china. it was appeared of great optimism among many people here. many people were excited about the trajectory that china was on today. perhaps many people feel differently. it is a sensitive time. and as far as we understand, there is a continued heavy police presence in cities like beijing and shanghai as well. notably at the formation yesterday, huge in tao. is jenks a predecessor made his 1st public appearance since he was controversially removed from the communist party congress. and you know in many ways gens that death. the

timing of his death was mark book, not only because it came so soon after that highly politicized moment, but also because it's come amidst this unprecedented wave of civil disobedience in china. and so authorities are on high alert. they want to avoid a repeat of the unrest that's been over the past few weeks. dung, them in the and the conference and she's in ping to very different leaders. how are people comparing young to see here? that's absolutely right. a lot of comparisons are being made and you know, it's interesting talking about this protest movement is happening in china right now. a lot of people are calling it the biggest wave of civil disobedience that that's been. but if you remember back a few decades ago, the aftermath of 1989 sentiments were incident. you know,

there was a protest involving 10. 7 1000 members of the fallen gong religious movement to stage a. sit down, strike outside john john, man. hi. that is the single biggest demonstration that's been in china in decades. and of course it led to this severe crackdown on the fallen gong. generally minisey has been responsible for that in some experts i've spoken to have argued that that was really the starts of the government taking back control of that civil society falling appeared of which was seen by many people as being a relatively liberal period in china. but this is a moment of the style, just so lots of comparisons are being made between jonesy been and, and present. she jan, paying and of course the period that john ruled was appeared of a huge economic boom for china. and so there is this sort of strong sense of nas

job salvage, as i say, among people in the country. okay, patrick thought for moment. thanks very much me. ruby leave is sing the stories little later in the program at the moment. thank you. now south africa's parliament has delayed a session to discuss embattled presence around the pays as future setting will now take place next monday to allow employees to attend in person area ruling party posted indicated they will vote against adopting a report which accuses family, pays of misconduct. i jam june reports from janice bag the on a day that had the potential to feel serial. rama poses feet. supporters of the embattled south african president came out to sing his praises. as the executive committee of the ruling african national congress met to discuss findings from an independent panel that mister rom oppose may have violated his oath of office.

these members of the agency had their own message. i'm saying we want to continually building up the car to say we need to bid this country and the agenda if you need to and the new one. but not everyone in this small crowd was there to express support of the re. a mr. must mr. rom, a poser, who showed up to recuse himself from the proceedings in the middle of an ever growing political scandal that's been dubbed farm gate. it concerns the theft of at least $580000.00. from paula paula, his private game form, and allegations that mr. rama poser attempted to cover it up. for days, it was unclear if the a n c is top leaders would back mr. ramos closer or ask him to step down. but after hours of deliberation,

that question was finally answered. let the blades in quinton, with responsibilities on 2 sides of time that all this process, it requires that he can continue. mr. roemer poser, who continues to deny any wrong doing, his filed court papers challenging the findings of the independent panels report. some analysts believe the agency's leadership ultimately decided to support mister m a poser. not because they believe he's innocent, but because there are no credible alternatives, there is currently no untainted contestant for leadership of the party. and so they're deciding to back mr. m. oppose that largely because of both the political and economic fallout that might result. if they went ahead with an impeachment process, parliament was originally set to meet on tuesday debate the panels findings and potentially vote on setting up an impeachment procedure. but that session has been

postponed by a week. and since the a and c has the majority of seats and parliament president rams plaza, who's been assured of his parties backing, may now have a lot less to worry about. how much of drama 0 johannesburg still has head on out to sarah. so don's military rulers reach a deal with civilian leaders to end the political crisis. but some groups stay away . ah, anticipation is rising. and so is the atmosphere a you read the with most of my cattle aways? well finally it's got cold in east asia. not the shock of it all might mean you think this is kotik stream, but if you look at these terms, the more or less where they should be for december, it's just been so high for the last many,

many months. snow is still likely in the mountains and hong shewn. how kind not to any great degree now, but it's like to be repeated. showers, sunshine is out elsewhere. would it make little difference to the temperance itself? just feel a bit better. i think you feel the children have color cross tied pe because the breeze is blowing quite steadily and quite strongly. little difference between tuesday, wednesday different maybe a degree or so in temperature for the south. with the enhanced that ne monsoon, we've seen more rain down the coast to vietnam, there will be more still we did see and still have warnings out for the potential in the south of thailand because of the persistence that right. but the heavy stuff mostly got short towards the bay, bengal as circulation, which we probably ought to watch, as it runs towards her lanka tumble, nodded by the end of the week. it could be causing flooding. here. obviously for the rest of india is quiet for the north and for pakistan. the yes to still cause he's suffered is pretty poor every now again, you can improve things. for example, if you bring snow, shouted as is the case nascar on the west,

brazil the far time will champions hammering south korea here at stadium $97.00 fool. as they march they way into the quarter finals wake croatia all waiting has been mixed opponent. joining me here is one wrong to discuss this fixture. one in modern football, defense obstruct is all really, really tight. and oftentimes it's very difficult to break them down. but tonight we saw a little bit of eco, a little bit of room our own little bit or on will be a little bit of coca. this was good to see, wasn't it? yeah, it was. and you started to see around in the press area, how they would say that you started hearing of those at goes up 1982, but 1982 with the intention of being able to go and get to a final and also 1982 with some offensive prowess. so again, you start to see this brazil side all of the attackers lucas bucket done name, marvin issues junior. so and he sadly so all were integral to the victory here. a very fundamental, a very, very impressive victory for brazil. who can say the argument right, of saying,

you know what, we are probably the best team in the certainly right out. clearly the case know before the game, we were talking a lot about name or to know inside 15 minutes for know before half time. how important was he in the, in the created, he attracted, he started to be able to create spaces and opportunities for everyone else. that's how brazil ends up being. yep. name, are you the numbers he's one of goes away from from equal impel is a number of goals in there. there with the national team. you start to see a brazil that opens up a bit more. he shot a lease on has more space finishes. junior has more space up being, it has more space on and on and on it, because of name are in his movement and his ability to understand that he is the one that attracts i, he's a magnet in the middle that attracts a vendor to and fro but it's always good talking to you, we'll speak again closer to that quarter. final brazil versus croatia. it's coming up on friday, monica jada keanu was watching back home with brazil,

fans and sao paulo. oh. c i'm with to be on friday against a wall with my which is a star with get a name hearing. so really, the last day that i saw areas are very, very read with where a player was born a ball many all depends on is important,

is like the environment. you don't need one percent of its way to cancel. and speaking of cancer, who is, are in the hospital, had tweeted earlier that he was watching the game from the hospital that he was sharing for brazil. and many attributes were, were paid to been there by the people that were narrating the game year in brazil. there are has he's battling cancer but also. 2 we had a good 19 infection which led to more serious mind infection which led him to being hospitalized. then people were afraid that he was like, facing the very last moment. but his daughters came out in an interview and assured that no, he is in good spirits. he has been watching the world company is still in the

hospital being treated for the infection. but his reacting positively to the antibiotic. so all in all, it was a very, very happy day. here in brazil in san paula where we are now. just having finished watching the game, thousands of south korean fans turned out to watch back home and sol, that's despite the temperature drops to minus 3 degrees celsius. spare a thought for this poor. a supporter in particular who looked sad at seeing her team beaten by brazil. i suppose there's always sex. i'm assuming they can qualify for the world cup in 2026. so as we said, brazil with a so croatia in the quarter finals thoughts after crecia one the 1st penalty shoot out of the tournament. thanks to the heroics of their goal keeper. putting an end to japan's magical ron in this world cup. krasier had a chance early on the shot from paris. it being saved. japan channel,

the samurai spirit, and the 43rd minutes. already dyson made us for it to give his team their 1st leader the tournament. her way should tie things up in the 55th minute. the parents that chatter his 1st goal at this world cup. luke, a moderate shot, almost went in, but japan says so each i gandhi's stretched himself to save that one. the game said one, all after 90 minutes, going into the 1st extra time of the tournament creation goalkeeper, dominic live, a coven emerged as a hero. stopping a 3 penalties in the pseudo raised her through the quarter finals after winning 3 to one on penalties. and next up, the face, brazil. journey me in the studio for the show is football analyst. usher. kamesia are brazil beatable the think. i think it's very difficult to stop this brazil side at the sternum and they've looked incredible. they come in to the tournament with

so many scoring options and they've shown that correlates in front of gore, but against croatia they fess aside that has kept to clean shirts and has only conceited 2 goals in the tournament. and that sort of a performance is what you have to be scared about and you talk about liver coverage has been incredible in or saving 3 penalties in one single panel to shoot out is not a very simple fit that he has achieved. so i think it's gonna be very difficult for, you know, brazil to play against croatia, but they have a chance and i think for many of their friends of course are waiting. they'll be novice going into that game. but i think they should trust philos. out to deliver. all right, we'll see. thank you. usher. so we're now nearly 3 with the last 16. the final 2 teams will be known after tuesdays games. the hopes of africa rest on morocco, they play spain at education city and portugal will look to bounce back against switzerland after their last to south korea in the final agreed game earlier in the week. so plenty to look forward to hearing katara. and our team will have it all
