cremated on monday. at a ceremony attended by top leaders from the communist party, 96 year old, died in shanghai from leukemia and multiple organ failure. patrick falk has more from hong kong. got a copy of today's oriental daily news with john in black and whites as a mark of respect is remembered in hong kong. of course, as the leader who oversaw the cities a hand over from britain, back to china was appeared of great optimism among many people here. many people were excited about the trajectory that china was on to day. 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 b formation yesterday huge and tao is jones. the predecessor made his 1st public appearance since he was controversially removed from the communist party,

the congress, and you know, in many ways gens that death. the timing of his death was remarkable. 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. elizabeth alara's is the author of politics and society, and contemporary china and the president of e lara's consulting. she explains how shines, leadership changed, china's political and economic landscape. some of the problems that came out, his no holds barred economic growth of the 990 s was tremendous income disparity, tremendous rural urban disparity as well as coastal interior disparity, anti china. jenny coefficient, that's a common measure of income disparity reached record levels. so he try

to address that in his later years with something called develop the west. that is to develop chinese interior and also a scientific approach to income equality. but that was in later years is quite different from see japan, though, in that he embraced market forces in the economy much more we see under siege and pay the re introduction of a very, very, a strong hand to the state in the economy. and the party in businesses, again, by anyone trying to get in to beijing international airport will now no longer require a negative coven, 1900 test result. testing requirements have also been removed for people to enter most public places. in shanghai, it is the latest easing of pandemic restrictions prompted by widespread protest across china. media reports their suggest, a new set of nationwide rules will be announced

indonesia. so parliament has passed a new criminal code which makes sex outside of marriage, illegal, and punishable by up to a year in jail. the revision applies to both citizens and foreigners. it also bans unmarried couples from living together. opponents of the law say it allows the government to police morality and crackdown on free speech. the code will come into effect in 3 years time. up up a little bit about them is we have done our best to accommodate all input and concerns. but in the end, we have to take a decision, a historical decision to leave the dutch colonial criminal law behind. don't go let spring in narvie, teresa santana. she is a lecturer at st. jen, tara school of law. she joins us now from the indonesian capital jakarta, thanks very much for being with us. so 1st off, your assessment of this criminal code. yeah,

so ah, we listened just now that the family member said factor from the old colonial code. but we would say that it's not a departure from the colonial paradigm because in, in just recently pass code, you know, actually articles that have been this whole nearly the paradigm because they are articles such as the one that was criminalized people who criticize the president and the vice president, that's one example. and then also as he mentioned before, the application and sex outside marriage is also punishable under the new pass code. and also the important article about the dissemination of marxism. and let me use them that are the ideal of being to be

again, the same ideology off by just the last. so those are a mom, 18 articles that are in my opinion again. and again human rights. so this is actually for indonesia, democracy. i want to talk a little bit about women's rights. what are the implications of this, this new law for women's rights in your view? yeah, this also will have that effect on women's rights because there is an article that live in law and in some locality nisha i recognize as crime. and there is research published by the national commission on women's rights. there are more than $400.00 local regulations that are actually

necessary against women. so we are afraid that with the article said that living law is recognized as some articles in my crime. then those kind of local relations can also be a leak above and as research national committee on women's rights. those local religions are mostly women. but when women cannot be outside the house or the women cannot leave it on public officials and all that. so let, that's one thing and then there's also an article saying that education showing contraception is also considered as

showing some sexual con thing. so it's also punishable and for act then, you know, it's also will have implication on how sex education will be provided in schools and also to women. so this is one of many things that what do you think this is happening now? i mean, you mentioned that this, this originate from the color new era. and many people will say that indonesia has made great strides since then, and also over the last 30 years in terms of democratic freedoms and so on. but from what you're saying, it does seem things are going in the other direction. now what, what do you think is pulling indonesia in this direction for the fact that there's also very good group in indonesia at

this moment. just like in many other countries, i believe really just groups. and there may be one of the politics records my as well by the politicians. so they have quite a strong bargaining position. that's one thing. and then the 2nd one is the development of that the current government has at this moment. so having this kind of code which basically will shut down any criticism against the government, will make it easy for the government to fund that further development which, which might destroy the environment against him arrives. but also this having to sign off, you know, god will be very handy for the government to punch all the elements. good to get your horse on this. the b t s. is 70 in jakarta,

thanks so much for being with us. thank you. i still ahead on as an attempt to store mongolian government pallet thousands protest against corruption and inflation in the capital. ah well every day makes it more and more when she cross. virtually all are here. it looks as though it's quite missing. to be honest, your underneath, it probably feels that way gray and cold quite often. but the incoming change is taking place from the up to this really cold and strong normally is going to bring a massive snow 1st to norway. then eventually, i think answered the north seat of the low countries, just adding your churning up what is really gray weather at the moment in, for example, poland and the baltic states that will turn into proper snow,

but remain cold as wind chill this as well. attempt is well below where they should be london, and example though the warm, any snow of any significance here. it will stay cold for the next 5 days or so. ok, let's get out of the warm a bit where rain will be spread again to few showers in portugal and spain, temperatures in teens, and especially cold. we've seen flooding rain here before. no come beg him to clean the golf, but the more immediate worry might still be in italy in the creation coast where this rains been persistent, already been flooding down the west coast richly and sicily and look at what's coming into west increase as well at the same time, more rain is coming into the algol. generally, the western side of portugal burst the rate is now gone from north africa. the mountains come in, dusty and hot, ah, in

with, from propaganda and managed manipulation to the collateral, contemplating the listening post reveals the powers behind the media and the impact on, on life. it's one of the biggest reasons why iraq is back out of democracy. there's no accountability. oh now to sierra lou. ah, again, you're watching, i just hear a reminder of our top stories. this out. rushes defense ministry is accusing ukraine of drone attacks on to of its air bases. hundreds of kilometers from their

shared board of moscow sate 3 servicemen were killed, has been note confirmation from keith china, as held a memorial service to honor its former president jang zemett, who died last week. at the age of 96 sirens sounded across the country in indonesia, parliament has passed a new criminal code which makes sex outside of marriage. illegal and punishable by up to a year in jail will come into effect in 3 years. time. monday nights. well come action saw 5 time champions, brazil breeze park, south korea with a confident for one sam, a voice now proceeding to the quarter finals where they next faced croatia early. a 20181, croatia beat japan, 31 on the penalties of the full time school in that game ended in the 11 rule.

and in today's no count matches. morocco will be looking to qualify to its 1st well cup or the final when it faces spain at 15 g m t. that game will be played in education. city later. 19 gmc portugal take on switzerland at the lou sales stadium. now saw a high that is at the soup work if an adult ha ahead of morocco's game today with spain, and that saw the big day ahead then for the atlas lines that is true. now most americans the clock which is very quiet usually in the mornings, but we're starting to see moral, constricting, and now there's a lot of pressure on morocco playing against fame. it's quite a strong team or more kind of been one of the biggest surprise teams of the world

cup they had to group the top of it. they've been top of that group against semi find this place. that was probably the one thing that i have argued now, one of the things that the markins are oh, when morocco made it through to the knockout. thank just they weren't the only ones celebrating. oh, it's the 1st time 36 years in our nation has got this far as a won't cut. the wind was for the entire region of to the other 3 middle eastern countries, catins nicea, and saudi arabia went out in the group stages. are sort of a lot of this is an honor for all of us. morocco represents us arabs in a good way. this shows the european and the american teams at the world cup is not just for them. it's morocco's. oh,

but marcia working at american restaurants in central cats are, is enjoying the outpour of support. it makes her feel less homesick jelly. a lot of me and i read the american community and cut that felt great pride to meet our people coming from around the world. they went to challenges and difficult flights to meet us residents living here. they made us forget the pain of being way moroccans make up one of the largest communities in cattle with many working in the food and beverage industry. couple of money that the vehicle when morocco one, wherever you went, you would find people congratulate and cheering for you from different arab nations, even for foreigners to it gives the person so much pride and happiness that the moral consumed rich the last 16th. no matter if the atlas lions can be spain and get to the quarter finals, moroccan say they're proud to represent the arab bulls last hope to make it to the world cup final well, it seems i had some audio problems earlier, but it's, it's all been sorted out now, because we have abdullah who is from morocco, i'll tell,

are you going to be attending the game later? yes, 0. and how are you feeling about that? actually we're excited more work with him, qualified this round since 86 in mexico. and we're all ready for the game and we're very confident about it. i mean, spain hasn't, may be doing as well as maybe it should have, but it's a strong team. and if there's a possibility of going to a penalty shootout, the spanish coach says that they're prepared. ha, ha, ha, do you think your team is going to fail? you've got some really fantastic elite players that are playing in elite football in europe. actually we're, i'm really confident about our team. i don't think we will go to the penalties though. we play the game spin in the last world cup 2018. it was a tough game where america, the minutes of the whole game were winning and the equal eyes in the last minutes spanish for the most of us. so i'm really confident and if we go to the penalties, we've got a really good a goalkeeper born or which is i was the best bookkeeper the last season in alaska.

he plays for severe, so i'm really confident i don't think we will go to the penalties and hopefully not if the morocco certainly has the support, not just from markers, but as you heard earlier from the whole of the region, after lots of pressure on one team shoulders, but they seem extremely confident as you just heard from on the leather. all right, yeah. should be a fascinating gave their side a height i live 1st there and the suit work if in the now in other news, south africa's parliament has delayed a session to discuss. embattled, the president, sil, ram of posts as future. it will not take place next tuesday. earlier party bosses indicated they would vote against adopting a report which accuser on a post of misconduct. how much i'm doing reports now from johannesburg. the on a day that has 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 visit the country and you, if you need the and the new one. but not everyone in this small crowd was there to express support of the re. a mr. i'm a must mr. i'm a poser who showed up to recuse himself from the proceedings, is in the middle of an ever growing political scandals that's been dubbed farm gate . it concerns the theft of at least $580000.00 from fall apollo. his private gained form and allegations that mister roma poser attempted to cover it up for days it

was unclear if the a n c is top leaders would back mister roman, closer or ask him to step down. but after hours of deliberation, that question was finally answered. the letter contained with different responsibilities. until such time that all this process it requires that he can continue. mister, i'm a poser who continues to deny any wrong doing. his filed court papers challenging the findings of the independent panels report. some analysts believe the agencies leadership ultimately decided to support mr. ramos jose. 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 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 as the majority of seats in parliament, president ra, a poser who's been assured of his parties backing, may now have a lot less to worry about. how many bedrooms, 0 johannesburg, are. the congolese government has accused and 23 rebels, a mass screen, 272 civilians in the north, kiva, province. people in the city of go math, been calling for justice for the victims and of how vigils. the attack happened last week and the dental was originally thought to be around 50 people and 23 fighters had denied responsibility. mark web is live for us in nairobi. so mark, what is the latest that you will hear it from there?
