jersey morning new york the football club pulled the plug on the controversial manager after the worst start to the season in nearly thirty years and thousands of anti-government demonstrators in budapest rallies for a fifth night in a row the protesters want controversial overtime waiver loss drops in a return to an independent state media. thank you so much for your company everyone china's president xi jinping has told rivals to respect beijing's growing role in the world in a speech marking forty years of market reforms she warned the west beijing would not be dictated to even as he tried to play down fears of china trying to become the world's dominant superpower while i was a defiant message at a time of heightened tensions with major trading partners like the united states.

it was an impeccably choreographed event designed to showcase china's transformation from an inward looking farming based society to the economic giant it is today. the country's president xi jinping credited forty years of course he terms socialism with chinese characteristics for lifting people out of poverty and pushing china on the international stage. but the stage now more than ever is fraught with tension in a thinly veiled reference to his country's months long trade dispute with the united states she has this to say so. there's no text book of rules to follow for the reforms and opening of china a country with five thousand years of history and civilization and with a population of more than one point three billion people no one is in a position to dictate to the chinese people what should or shouldn't be done. no

one not even seemingly the leader of the most powerful economy in the world this footage shows using paying having dinner with u.s. president donald trump at the g twenty summit in argentina earlier this month the result was an agreement to a ninety day truce in their trade conflict. but the arrests since then of a top executive of chinese tech equipment giant twelve way has left that truce on shakier ground than ever. the tone coming from beijing today was defiant china won't be pushed around. are all joining me now in the studio is maximillian the current felt an expert in china in the chinese economy with the market or institute for china in studies that thank you so much for being here in person with us china has come a long way in four decades and i think that's an understatement i mean the progress

has been staggering to say the least what struck you about president she's speech today two things first of all as the previous segment just said he was defiant but at the same time is quite cautious so you would think that after forty years of the so-called reform again agenda it would offer new concrete reforms which he didn't instead he was he'll reasserted the needs the socialist core values and he was generally quite careful i think so i think this in a way it shows that he's on the pressure from the inside to show that to show a strong side to the outside world but i do think at the same time he's is pressured and it's hard to make more reforms of this moment right so they're sticking to their policies they're not changing course for the moment judging by this by this speech today now of course there was that stark warning that the president issued there you know basically saying you know we won't be pushed around and nobody can tell china what to do who was the intended audience here well i think the only one who's telling china what to do the moment is to us or at least

to loudly doing so such as hard for me to think that it would be a name that anyone else in the u.s. writes and in particular president trump you think i guess right. china has grown massively by huge leaps in these past four decades but it hasn't always been very smooth sailing do you think this fight what the president said today that they're sticking with their policies that they might have to re-evaluate if they want to continue on this path of growth well so nothing lasts forever and so china town has been growing tremendously from for a very long time but us. china but as any country becomes more advanced the growth rates tend to slow down as you invest in your country build infrastructure but eventually it sort of you become a little bit saturate the less things to invest and so on so if china wants to you can just build new subways all the time you have to have to think of new ways to grow your country have to go up the value chain and so on and might require reforms right and well let's talk about reforms as well but of

a different kind of course we've seen china implemented these phenomenal economic reforms in these past forty years and a lot of allison observers probably like yourself thought well you know the political reforms will then also follow in tandem that has not materialized right absolutely a mite of you might actually said is going the opposite way especially with the removal of the term limits for the president. well i think in a way it's a very optimistic message to think that the as a country grows it will eventually become democratized and so on but perhaps it's also a little bit of a naive message. russia's not of the marketplace country and that's so i think we we have to think is to we have to change our way of looking at these things that we shouldn't necessarily think the growth is it's not a must democracy right on that note thank you so very much max and i am carne felt with the market or institute for china studies. our aid and some big news now in

the football zero world where english premier league giants manchester united have parted ways with the manager jose marino with immediate effect the club released a statement thanking him for his work and wishing him success in the future the firing follows the manchester united set three one defeat to liverpool this past weekend leaving them we get this twenty six points after seventeen premier league games it's the club's worst points tally at this stage of a season since nineteen ninety. art while something had to give him a break cambridge for the tories were desperate joins me now to discuss that big decision for manchester united good to have you here with me ed marino under a lot of pressure i mean they were piling pressure on pressure on him for some time so what was the thing that made them decide to finally pulled the plug well i think

there are so many things that play here but as you've just said this was months as you know it was starts to a premier league campaign for twenty eight years they find themselves nineteen points off the top spot in the premier eight and it's not even christmas yet so i mean that would be enough to get most managers fired you know much as you know about just five by this stage anyway but it's compounded by the fact he spent close to four hundred million euros on players to join the club in twenty sixteen one of those players pulled for culture of that one hundred five million euros and he's no it didn't in the team of late so you can understand why the board might be reluctant to hand him another huge barrel of cash in january. so a lot of things have gone wrong elsewhere young players have been getting a chance now bringing hugh through academy prospects is a tradition woven into the fabric of matches you know it's a nice simply not done that and on top of all of that he has repeatedly called into question the attitude of his players and we've got an example of that now coming against valencia early in the season calling out his players publicly so sometimes

what you see is not what you get so you don't think they don't care. i think that some care more than others. you obviously know. typical so he doesn't want to say who there but a lot of football fans a certain that he was talking about a few players one of which is paul pope but now suspiciously or perhaps not as soon as the announcement was made today paul pogba actually sent a tweet from his personal accounts with a smirk on his face which was removed almost immediately and the club came out and said oh it was a prescheduled marketing suite it was nothing to do with paul pogba personally be you have to say that was rather suspicious timing yeah or poor timing if there were you know so how will he be remembered martin you're the special one what exactly i mean a lot of fans were expecting so much when he came to the club finally the special manager who at least believed that he had the ability to restore the club you know

the top table of european when it hasn't worked out like that however he did win a couple of trophies in his first year and he has cemented his reputation in my opinion at least as a manager for the short time he won the league cup and the road played he's not a silver tongued winning machine anymore they can bring success in the short term hartwell let's let's focus now on manchester united and you know what way forward now what are they going to do next well the reports in the english press at least the swelling around saying the only gonna social will be appointed on an interim basis now a lot of fans will remember him as the man who scored the winning goal for manchester united in the one nine hundred ninety nine champions league final so loved by the fans he hasn't had the most successful manager jiri a career after it's been done well enough with mold but now long term decisions zenaida's have done is one of the coaches in pole position i would say to take over from the start of next summer now he's won three champions league titles with real madrid we can see now on the screen a real a real coach a pedigree and an incredible player but another front runner a lot of matches united fans want to see. the spurs boss take charge and we're

going to see him coming up there he is he plays fast attacking football very different to the drab style that marino implemented at manchester united he might cost a lot of money whether or not he'd be willing to leave tottenham hotspur at the start of next season or any time. is a question on everybody's lips but he would be a real fan favorite if they're spoilt for choice thank you so much of the cambridge from the or thank you. next stop or we're going to have to our other major story of the day trade unions and hungry have been threatening to press ahead with nationwide strikes if the right wing government of viktor orbán does not revoke controversial new labor laws or bond says the laws are crucial to address a labor shortage in hungary's manufacturing sector but the us had a nerve and have prompted thousands of people to take to the streets in protest late monday they turned out to show their support for opposition m.p.'s who'd been
