5:11 pm
a very in regimes this is often code for getting rid of the political opposition how successfully has he been either or both of these right i do believe that it has a dual function and i do think that the c.c.p. is very serious that actually stamping out corruption that it's identify this is one of the main mistakes that the soviet union made which actually brought it down on the other hand it's very it's a very useful tool to get rid of any opponents and to make sure that right now anybody who still is in the party is on board with paying i think we've seen we have seen some progress in terms of stamping out corruption but i don't know if it's sustainable we can definitely tell that it has been very successful at getting rid of any opposing voices and as you can see from the very. enthusiastic response to see dimpling at the party congress itself there's nobody right now would stand up and say. no he's not the man ok and now he's declared the start of a new era but he's already been president for four years so what do you mean by

5:13 pm
a. very very briefly then one wonders why it's taken them so long to do that. i mean you can you could see the signs that this was going to have they've been shifting their priorities for a number of years like in the past ten years you've seen some moves towards more equal development in the wind it isn't but it's very it's very very early that they actually do refit redefine the principle contradiction and previous leaders might not have the clout to do that he said he has it now but i can look for the cato institute john studies thank you. football now portuguese forward cristiana rinaldo has been named fee first best male player in the world for the second year in a row the first the best to want to take account of votes from fans coaches players on the media. it was supposed to be hollywood on the thames for the likes of ronaldo neymar. and leno messi all in their finery and hoping to
