a horse and if you agree you deserve to be deceived. for the past 50 years, the us in europe invested in the growing chinese middle class, expecting a dividend of democracy. it never happened. instead, trying to is mailed the world's 2nd largest economy and it's acting more and more like a superpower today and celebrated the 100th birthday of its communist party. and that democratic horse the west wanted to see it remains what it has always been a dear a communist dear. i'm burnt off in berlin. this is the day the chinese are people who are home justice and we're not intimidated by the force. we have never bullied oppressed or enslaved the people of any

of the country. the chinese people will never allow any phone forth to bully, suppress, subjugated long lives. the great, glorious and to really chinese people. me also coming up search and rescue crews at that collapse condo high rise near miami, had to stop their work today, fearing the remaining parts could give way. it came as us president biden arrived, promising more aid thing to know for room you all. because through as well as can be a lot of pain, anxiety, suffering,

and even need for st. logical health in a days and wants to fall to our viewers on p b. s. in the united states into all of you around the world. welcome. we begin the day with china's warning to the world. we will not be bullied. chinese president, she's in pain marked the chinese communist parties, 100 birthday today with 2 messages, one for the chinese people, the other for the rest of the world, especially the u. s. in europe to his compatriot president, she spoke in superlatives. the chinese communist party is the largest political party in the world. it started with 12 members in 1921 expanded by 20 percent every year to its present 92000000 members who control 1400000000 people. she's in thing delivered his address from tiana and square the irony last on

a generation that has been denied the truth about its own history. president, she said nothing about the 1989 to get them in square massacre of students who dared to demand democratic reform. and for the world president, she issued a warning that his country will not be bullied. and that any foreign powers attempting to do, so we'll run into a wall of steel. we have this report tonight. the it was a spectacle designed to impress, showing off the parties dominance. tiana mon square was packed with $70000.00 handpick spectators. putting on a show of patry arctic fervor, the cannons roared $100.00 times. once each year the chinese communist parties existence. you see the on the streets of beijing loyalists gathered to enjoy what

they could see of the celebrations of it's been 100 years since the party was founded. it is under authority. china has developed and people's lives have got better. of course i'm happy with this a good word, echoing the message of president. she jin ping, perhaps the party's most powerful leader, since it's 5 miles and i don't standing above my portrait and dressed in a suit to him and listened to the chem. and she praised the ccp for lifting the chinese people out of poverty. he hailed what he called the countries irreversible right from humiliation to global dominance. and he delivered a message of defiance to foreign powers, stronger than me. people will never allow any foreign force to bully subjugated shay, anyone who dares to try that will have their heads fasted in front of the great

wall of steel foods, with the flesh and blood of over 1400000000 chinese people hung up poll porsha. they all he thinks his language was perhaps chosen with the domestic audience in mind. but she backed up his warning with a pledge to beast, china's military might. and the promise to bring south governing, tie one under china's control. a vision of an assertive china impervious to western criticism and uncompromising on it strategic goals. i'm joined now by sarah cook. she's the research director for china, taiwan in hong kong. it freedom house, that's a washington based in geo. it's going to have you on the program, miss cook this massive spectacle on t ellamin square. knowing what happens there in 1989. what does this tell us about the power of the communist party to totally control the narrative?

i think it says a lot about the aspirations of the part of the control, the narrative and melissa control chinese people. because i think a lot of the political feeder is also to demonstrate that, you know, whether you would want to salute the party or not the party can make you do that. and i think one of the things we see on social media, we're obviously on tenements. where is the level of censorship and control and full mentation, an amplification of nationalistic narrative, like what the party would like, but very fierce depression. of anybody trying to remember? well, the alternative and very bloody history of the chinese communist party in china. do you think people standing on that square to day people born after 989? do you think many of them are even aware of the massacre that happened there? i think a lot of them are not. i mean, i think the thing to keep in mind in terms of the people on the square is that they

weren't handpick. and i imagine a lot of them are members of the communist youth league or others have been particularly protected from you know, uncensored information. but i think generally you do see situations where a lot of young people in china are not aware. and even chinese students who come here, i know students and people arrived and learned about, and to be honest, when they learned about it, it really changed how they think about china hardy. and that's exactly what the doesn't want people doing, which is why it hides that, that, that one piece of really all of the history of the party in china. so fiercely and guard is the we heard president, she's in being today deliver a very strong warning to the rest of the world. don't bully us or you'll bash your head and get it bloody. i mean, should the world fear this shiny that is acting more and more like a super power?

well, i mean, i think the question of how china is acting if this is the way to act as a superpower is a question, right? because i think that a lot of people would have hope for more responsible stakeholder, i think that actually fall into a line. you know, ensure the agreement made for example, about hong kong or actually followed. but i think here what is signaling is the level of aggressiveness. and i think the issue in china is that you don't look beneath all of the palm is actually one. 2 of the security and was it's logan that really struck me as the parent of a young child was like, listen to the party, appreciate the party follow the part. you know, that's not something you have to tell people if they're actually doing those things . and i think that's just one example along others where you see that, you know, even though she's consolidate power so much, there are people, even in the party that are not really satisfied that the direction taken china because of domestic progression because of aggressiveness, internationally. and so there is an insecurity, but to be on it,

we've seen this with other authoritarian regime, that insecurity can translate into really dangerous military aggression. and so i think when we see this kind of militaristic language in quoting be that the taiwan, which i think is also a key audience for, you know, in terms of that particular statement and warning. also, you know, it's not only coming from the additional strength, it's also, i think, coming from position up in security and needing to nationalism to short the legitimacy of the chinese congress already within. yeah, and it will be interesting to see if taiwan indeed becomes the newest and long lasting flash point between china and the us. we will see sarah cook from freedom house. we appreciate your time and your insights tonight. thank you. my pleasure will still come on the day a u. k. royal birthday, forever bound to the tragedy of a young death and questions of what could have been today the late princess diana would have turned 60. there's never been any one like before and there's never been

anyone like her since. and i think people are fascinated with the enigma of this woman. who was she? what made her take? what made i do the thing she did? and also when someone leads on happy life on the public stage, i think they that it's an extraordinary thing as well. the search and rescue cruise to top the rubble of that collapse condo building, your miami were forced to pause their work to day. engineers say that the ruins could collapse even more. today us president joe biden was in florida, and he met with those crews who have risked their own lives, trying to find survivors. he then held a closed door meeting with the families of the victims and those still missing. here's what the president had to say. i just got back from the days they wonder whether we can do this. you're doing, i mean,

just simple. everybody doing whatever needs to be done. tell me what you need. how that goes for both the senators and anyone florida to pick up the phone real. i'm not joking. reassuring words they're from the us president. let's go to our correspondent now. oliver's. how are you standing by for is in sort of side, florida getting to you oliver president biden. he really had a delicate balancing act today. did me. that's right, brand, we can put it that way. the hours long meeting with the families that he just finished behind closed doors, where he on the one hand had to express his sympathies, but then also find some rather encouraging words. perhaps because many of those family members still have hope that some of the relative, some of their loved ones are buried alive. under the rubble of course, i know that wish and hope was reinforced today when we heard reports of the fire

department rescue worker said they heard the voice of a woman under the robber. they could not find her initial leave. that was then confirmed by the miami dade fire rescue chief. so everyone who's missing a female relative of course now putting his or her hopes up desperately hoping for a miracle here in surfside. you know, we know that people don't want to give up hope, but it is looking increasingly unlikely that anyone will be found alive isn't well, the last survivor brand was found in the early hours after the building came down on thursday. so a week ago and of course, rescue workers have been reiterating that it is becoming more and more unlikely with each passing day. and adding to that the rescue operation had to be paused earlier today. there's fear of a further collapse of the still remaining structure of another cha are there. that has been moving by several centimeters today. so there's

a lot of pressure on the rescue workers on the families on the residents as well. they told us, when we were filming, therefore, our report, how frustrated they are. especially now that reports emerge about the existing damages off the champlain tower. and that of course raises many questions, and here's our report from sort of size. it's hard to think about anything else for diana, a winner. every time she takes the dog out, she passes by the collapse chimplan tower and survived, but hopes of finding more people alive or fading. she believes the tragedy could have been avoided. i feel sad, i feel sad that people didn't really step up and say, it's time we need to, we need to pay attention to this and do what we need to do. it's too many lives and probably been lost as a result of it. for days, hundreds of firefighters were picking through the rubble. the rescue operation is

now halted as expanding cracks in other instabilities in the structure post danger till their lives digging was already slow because of the risk of further collapse for workers. emotions are another obstacle. it's very sad the times that i've been going up on the pile and use find strollers and baby bottles. stuff. it just brings a sense of reality to you know, it's very touching because i have, i have kids, myself, a 2018 inspection warranty, structural damages to the building. the focus is now on similar, high rises in the county, 40 years, and older inspectors are now checking 40 other high rise buildings for damages, a large effort that could still be enough if the owners don't have enough money to get the necessary work done in case of the template and towers,

the necessary repairs could have cost $100000.00 us dollars per unit. darrow arnold, who lives opposite the chaplain tower, is believe something has to change his own theory on why the building was repaired, despite the findings of structural damage. what happened in this case is the city official inspector said that there was nothing to worry about imminently and people. brett breathed probably a sigh of relief because they didn't want to find the money to deal with the problem. i assume that's going to change in light of this incident and you're going to have much more care and caution going forward. much healing is needed in surfside, florida, but for now, the beach community is reeling from this historic tragedy. oliver, have we learned any more about the possible cause of this building collapsing?

brenda, initially it looked like this building came down with no warning, just like that in the middle of the night. over the last days. however, we're seeing a somewhat dramatic different picture really, especially if we look at the 2018 inspection of those reports, they're saying the structural damage of the building was known. and then we also learned a few days ago that the president of the condominium association, roads to its owners, in a letter about the significance, a deterioration of the conditions there. he said that $15000000.00 us dollars and even to repair the building. and now if you look at the situation, there's a lot of senior citizens living in those condominiums and might not have this money as you heard in the report up to $100000.00 per unit. the city inspector had a different account also. he thought it was less urgent and that's probably what the owners went with. so it looks plow plausible, certainly. but we have to see what the final investigation will say,

and that will take several months from now. and what about this concern that other buildings in the area may be at risk of collapsing? i mean, how widespread is that for you? certainly some conservative, you speak to people, you're on the street. the many live in similar buildings tell you that they, they haven't, they don't have a good feeling right now. of course, there are many older buildings of that type along the east coast of the us and many of them are checked right now are inspected. 40 of them just in this county where we are. the problem is that we've learned, we've learned that lesson from, from surf side is knowing the damages of a building doesn't necessarily mean that they're being fixed in the hopes that many people have right now is that some legal action will follow. i spoke to a board member of another condominium building and she told me that they should force owners to sell their apartments if they can't afford the repairs, which would certainly be a very tough measure. but perhaps one to avoid

a situation like we've seen here in source. drastic for sure. you w. oliver's now with the website florida. tonight oliver, thank you. the trump organization and its long time chief financial officer today pleaded not guilty to tax fraud charges. new york prosecutors are accusing truck organization cfo alan wizell burg, personally, avoiding taxes on $1700000.00 of income drums company allegedly ran a quote, sweeping and own daisha scheme to keep executive pay off the books are. these are the 1st criminal charges filed against the trump organization. the former us president himself is not facing charges at this time. ah, the brittany

spears. it was only 16 years old when she released the smash hit the baby. one more time. her the hardest amount of the pump news it 20 years later, a court in the united states has denied the request by the senior to remove her father from a guardianship arrangement. that gives him control of her fair fears, testified just last week, that she has been abused under the arrangement and a another star making news, things to the court us. comedian bill cosby was released yesterday from prison after pennsylvania supreme court overturned his conviction for sexual assault. the court ruled that a prior deal with the prosecutor board cause be from being charged. the former comedian was convicted in jail in 2018 for drugging in sexually assaulting a woman at his estates are k j. matthews is an entertainment journalist following these stories for us. she joins me from los

angeles. can even g u k. j. it's been a busy week, the world sees bill cosby go free and many say if he had not been a celebrity, there would have been no deal and he would still be in prison. you know, that's a fair statement. that's a very fair statement, and a lot of people here in the u. s. have been saying the same thing or are saying it quietly, so to speak, you know, bill cosby, rich bill cosby is famous. bill cosby has the money as a multimillionaire to hire a big team of attorneys. they can fit through this appeal process. you know, from the moment that he was found guilty about 2 to 3 years ago, he's had a team of attorneys that have been filing various paperwork to try to get him out of prison on appeal. so he's had the right team with the right lawyers doing all this. however, many people have said if he was another person of color, possibly black implored the u. s. he would really be under the thumb of

a public defender, where they're fun, come from taxpayer. so he wouldn't have the best legal defense. so yes, there probably are many people in this country who have had deals thrown at them from various district attorneys, and maybe what to, to present or with the jail. and just simply didn't have the resources to fight it . so that is a fair assessment. let me ask you about the judge's decision not to revoke the conservative ship of brittany spears. do we know why the court said no? you know, it was very weird. li word it, but to the best of my knowledge, it sounds like what the judge was saying is that he's feel is concerned about britney spears being acceptable to fraud and being taken advantage of financially. and because of that, at this point, he would like to, or the she, the judge would like to keep brittany spears father attached to the financial conservative ship to make sure that he's not taken advantage. set people are over

spending most of her money and the things are still going steadily the way they have been for the last decade. for now. now the judge still hasn't made his final decision as to whether or not this conservatorship will end in the near future. that will only come after brittany spears attorney officially file a resolution to in this conservative ship, which she has not done yet. and then of course, the judge would have to make a ruling on that. so that will come a couple of months down the line. you know, we talked about this last week wondering if we really know all sides of this story . and apparently there is much more that is not public much more maybe that brittany spears is not disclosed. yes, yes. i mean apparently we're hearing that she actually has been trying to in the servitor ship for years. i think people thought last week when they heard her with her 1st time coming forward, saying i want out of this, but she's actually been fighting back and been wanting to grab this conservatorship for years. and that there are

a number of reasons she gave us 25 minutes last week of why she was very angry and why she was unhappy and why she wanted the conservatorship to in. but that's not everything. we still don't know a lot about her mental health. we know that at one point she was forced to get on, lithium and lithium is usually to use to treat a lot of disorders like bipolar disorders, depression mania. but we still don't know exactly what she's been diagnosed with and what she's currently on and why whatever she is on or taking in addition to therapy, would not be enough to send her on the road to recovery and possibly in the conservatorship at some point. so there are so many questions that are still to be answered, that we don't know everything just yet. yeah, that's true. that's very true. matthews, in los angeles, there's always k j. it's good to talk with you. we appreciate the insights. thank you. thank you. the

prince william and prince harry haven't built a statue of their late mother. diana was killed in a car crash in paris in 1997. the ceremony held in the gardens of kensington palace, briefly were united the 2 brothers who were at odds over allegations of racism within the royal family. today would have been diana's 60th birthday. we can say with certainty tonight that she would not have been happy over her son's being of strange from each other. her love for them was undeniable. one can only wonder what her sons would be like today what the royals would be like today. what would princess die be like today? had she lived? one can only wonder. well, the day is almost done, the can conversation. it continues online. we could find us on twitter either at

the w news or you can follow me at brent golf tv. and remember whatever happens between now and then, tomorrow is another day, sealant ever use . use the news.

the news, the news to the point, a strong opinion, clear positions, international perspectives on the one hand, there's inclusion and pride on the exclusion hatred and violence issues surrounding the l. g. b t q. community on the political agenda. so low possible and how can we create the divers future find out on to the point? sure. to the point the the

the whistles miller, the here for just a traitor. juliana assumes that's probably the once in hiding then arrested. but he continues to fight. a film team has been following him up close for 10 years. in 45 minutes on w ah, cruise william had been on the list when i was, you know, if i had known that the would be that small and i never would have gone on the train. i would not have put myself in my terrace danger. got in the middle of leave away love and that one's i think is, and i had serious problems on

a personal level and i was unable to live. there wasn't ah, you wanted to know their story into migrants verified and reliable information for my grants. the how much freedom the members of the l g b t q. community enjoy? well in recent weeks gay pride marches and countries around the world have underlined the full receipt in the community, discrimination violence and even the fee. so part of the global agenda of hate has been angry criticism of hungary, new anti l g b t q law. and the european suckers blocking of the use of the movements rainbow colors. that's a big european championship match in music. so on the point on to the points we.
