3:41 pm
up with how the ministry -- council is operating on that offer of elections in nine months time. not meeting that the processes demands have been courting full civilian rule purchase of course began back in january about -- prices bread prices itecame a move to oust omar al bashir the longstanding dictators who down he's now gone he was arrested in april. but the military many of them his cronies. now holding power would be given the situation. as it fell thanks again to jason i think in income. to thanks to live in paris tenement scrap. the events that rocked communist china and so bright protest to stand in the way of tanks. it happened thirty years ago. today no comment from beijing no memorials being held in today's china the memory of how little people stood up against ththe militatary migight. opoppressive regime little. i blankets of silence falls over china. and it's business as usual in tiananmen square.
3:42 pm
it was in this symbolic heart of the capital thirty years ago to the day. that thehe government ordered an army crackdown on its own peopl. many flocking to the square this tuesday said they'd forgotten the anniversaryy was takining pe all that they've never even heard of the repression of p pro dedemocracy protesters.. the e west however certainly hasn't forgotten. the e. . has calledd on n chino lift its veil of silence about the crackdown. and the second calls from the us secretary of state all political prisoners to be freed. we express our d deep sorts the family still grieving their lost loved onon including the courageous chinaman m mothers wo have never stop seeking accountability despite great personal r rk. the events o o thirty years ago still sterile c conscience. and the consciencnce of freedodm loving people around the world. those comments prompted an angry retort from the chinese foreign ministry. not yet sure for most of the
3:43 pm
wheeling these lunatic r ravings and b babbling are destined for the garbage heap of history. we advise these people to take a look in the mirror. and mind their own business stop attacking and smearing china and stop interfering i in china's internal affairs when they don'. well no commemoration is being tolerated in mainland china memorials all being held in hong kong and in taiwan. what the president has said that beijingg should b bmaking greatr in roads on its path to democracy? and should be doing more to improve its human rights record. thirty years after tiananmen square let's bring in such a rigid cynthia after the director of the asia division of human righghts watch for moree on thi. one so if you think about shut for joining us i'm. i'm wondering if from your perspective -- knowing what you know i'm looking inside china how things have changed the ordinary people. well the average s standardd of living for some people has certainly improved considerablby the human r rights situation h s
3:44 pm
actually deteriorated significantly. under president she's in paying in the fact of the matter is that thirty years after. nineteen eighty ninene crackdodn you're no more a able to start a political party or open and independent newspaper or really even express your criticisms of the government peacefully. free of the fear that you'll be prosecuted are persecuted for that. but in terms of how these anniniversary is being marked -- would have a right. in saying that in china it's very much something that isn't spoken about and the version of events the people have. isn't the one that perhaps we have. from the people who survived and now live outside of china. well i think that's the natural result of an authoritarian regime working assiduously not only to scrub the events of nineteen eighty nine out of the history books. but to silence and detain them to drive in exile people who participated in this there's a larger discussion about this issue.
3:45 pm
outside of china because their candy i don't think it should get held against the ordinary people in china. for not commemorating and events that they can't know about. in terms of how many people died sophie that clearly there is a a figure which is a fairly vague. one i'm just it will ever get to the bottom of exactly what happened exactly who was killed. well i think internally confidence a chinesese governmet would have e no trouble releasig that information and allowing for a full investigation into who died. and why and where and coupled with that would be if. you're holding people accountable for their role in the massacre and last but not least an end to the harassment of the family members and the survivors of nineteen eighty nine that goes on to this day. and i think it's a powerful statement about how paranoid she's government is that it feels the neeee. to round up and ship out of beijing you know the eighty year old parents who were still just trying to get
3:46 pm
accountability for the deaths of their children in. nineteen eighty nine so if you were to some of the human rights watch thank you very much indeed for joining us on this the thirty out of a sea of the at the end of the square. incident is how the refer to beijing. optical so we tend to know a lot more about it for the people to the skate can be forced so if we sang. at two welcome to exile from china. donna business simply say kate moody has joined us competing k. tomorrow at yet another brawl the gloomy. outlook for the global economy tell us more well it's not the first time nor i would say the last mark at the world bank is the latest international organization. to once again downgrade its forecast for the coming year. the global economy is pretty easy to expand two point 6% this year in two point 7% next. that's cuts of about three and 1% respectively us eurozone in japan are seen as weakening in part due to weaker exports and investmement. never more we can cross london and speak to francisco sorter
3:47 pm
lead author of that report and manager of the development prospects division at the world bank thanks for being with a lot on front. twenty four helping a role have trade tensions played in your latest downgrade. we had already expects to six months ago a sold on darkening skies of the global economy. and then it was a full costs now we really see it and the data that's static spends a two point 6% to a girl focus what. enty six t twenty nineneteen whh is a weakness in three years the last time we saw such weak growth was in. twenty sixteen so it's it's we have always expxpected was soldn that's a natural cyclical downturn from other stimulus induced high in twenty seventeen and eighteen but it would be that steep. was unexpected and that's what counts for oregon which revision and is really something up as broad based tax cuts across. the globe across. all groups of countries and you're right the weakness of global trade is perhaps the most striking feature.
3:48 pm
of the car and drove off off of the current economic intellect namik environment. the trade growth in twenty nineteen that we currently expect is the lowest since the global f fancial cririsis. it is even lower than a twenty sixteen was was a troubled here for the global economy. and part of it again it's just a simple cyclical slowdown but on top of that. trade tensions all policy uncertainty more broadly as really wait on manufacturing industrial production trade and investment especially in emerging markets in developing economies. how are emerging economies faring in this trade war which for now as in golf the u. s. -- china the eurozone. how are smaller economies farin? yes i made my remarks is available economies also facing gross gross is likely to be on the order of 4% this year and we've also revised to don was five point three percentage points. the challenge was the current bilateral trade tensions.
3:49 pm
is that it is happening between the largest economies in the world to the u. s. in china for example a code 420% of global trade on one side of global gdp. so if these tools giants in the global economy have disagreements. and this agreement such could put in question door rules of trade old viability of supply chains. that is something i've reverberates around the global economy and actually around. what banks client countries as well emerging markets in developing economies? your report also highlights the growing problem of late government debt loads up what should being be done to tackle that issue. yes the government debt in emerging markets in developing economies has grown by fifteen percentage points since. two thousand seven and that's a broad base issue is not just focus on a few large countries in 60% of emerging markets in
3:50 pm
developing economies. government that is now ten percentage points of gdp higher than it was in two thousand seven that's it means that these countries are no less well prepared or theyy would face great. challenges in meeting the next financing shock when it comes what can government do that's three options. one should borrow more that's question one and that really depends on the country some country it's kind of folder others cannot. even of all of them need more investment second. candy bar a better and yes most countries con borough better they can borrow. in a more transparent fashion become borrowed longer time they can borrow it from a local currency rather in foreign currency. and the question is can they go beyond boring what can you do beyond boring and that is really about finding resources for growth and haunting expenditure. beyond boring so that's raising domestic revenues. that's increasing expenditures efficiency shifting expenditures from unproductive towards closing han sing expenditures.
3:51 pm
systems order of the world bank thanks so much for joining us i'm from twenty four this evening. just in titime for the closing word on n wall street now we saw huge gains for us stocks their second best a session of the year. dow jones jumpedd five hundred points up over 2% % on the clots at thehe tech heavy nasdaq gaing two and two thirds or percent. vecess were boosted by comments from the head of the us federal reserve t the central bank would be open to cutting interest rates agagain if economic conditions warranted it. we saw slightly more modest session here in europe posted by the auto sector though at the frankfurt dax outperforming up one and a half percent on the clothes earlier on mark. okay thank you from the kennedy without all the basics. next we cross the studio but james cretan is awaiting us james the kamarck off that mediawatch franklin to use -- now then -- see was matters thirtieth anniversary of the tiananmen square. incident because the cold in beijing buttons the greater -- speculating comes in what's been
3:52 pm
happening around the world and you started with the iconic image that became known as tank man this is the man who stood in front of the chinese tank a and refused to move. and the video the video was really extraordinary and the and the climbing on the tank. and a real moment -- a real david versus goliath moment. and it's still as it's your time this. article points out a mystery as to the identity of this man which it. adds that this quote says you know in an age of cyber sleuthing and intense movies greek media scrutiny. the fact that humans anonymous is quite. intriguing i bought dot moments i was recreation today mark on up. paris is plus selected to be king of this was an action by. a french -- in g. l. o. an ngo rather against torture on the death penalty at b. calm tenth month was the idea of the whole thing. and so what they did is they they replication it's a sort of a time keep and see here. and invited people to pose in front of us with shopping bags our eyes at the original tank
3:53 pm
mounted on tiananmen square thirty years ago to interest people coming along and posing in front of at that time. in a bid to draw attention i suppose the heroism of the more harel with them all of the moment and all that it represents. actually the results in attempts to have at that image at saved in a bind. at a memory bank act unesco here in paris at the john gently who was one of the demonstrators there that day. he is making nas and paid for it to be a registered in the world and memory bank so it there you go a i suppose. it's all about memories this past has been arranged on the memory of most chinese people what's the issue could this not discussed is that you know that they tooook it as an incident i- which sits it touches something that shook the entire foundations of communist china and this one man whose story i think illustrates the extent to which this at this wall
3:54 pm
forgotten he's he's a an artist a dissident artist. by that his his name or at least in any goals by is how do you how or body of choke. today he revealed his face for the first time mark because even was based in australia he he his work is quite a critical of the chinese powers that be and this was how we normally appeared. no actually. recently just before his first solo exhibition in hong kong he learned that the authorities in china. hi china trucked in his family and becausese it uncovered as hs identity and then approach family members. and they were asked to pass on a message to him cancel the show or there will be trouble. so it shows the extent to which there is still a climate of fear there know this mon actually says that the change that the turning point for him. in terms of becoming an art artist cartoonist an activist was in two thousand and seven so i had many years after the incident when he was a law student. and he came across as a baby with with with with his roommates in the dormitory i they were watching a pirated movie when suddenly a call to a documentary that was apparently split stand. on the documents we spoke about what happened but so we learned
3:55 pm
about us. i mean that's pretty telling if he was a student so an educated young man and you know on aware of this a big historic mom picked up at shows extent which had been a race from the memory. of people he went on then two at for example -- partiticipate in all sorts of actions you can see this image here in the city of adelaide or he's dressed up as tank mine that's in -- twenty sixteen in a performance art piece of the chinese authorities at not such a fan of his and of course another artist who gets a lot of a lot of media attention on the board as a way way this was in the guardian. today mark and that what he was that he had harsh words. for the authorities to in the west and around the world for i suppose compromising on values of human rights and all our e. set the tolerance the tolerance of injustice. and distorted information is an act of encouragement and complicity and we will all pay the price for this failure in other words. and i think this cartoon compliment stock quite well mark
3:56 pm
this is a cartoon by. as a swiss german cartoonist and it shows i suppose at the as with the with the what would you say they at the end of the game. as i see it the containers that pressing chinese business interest how that's grown and boom done that goes on the world wants to do business with china regardless of the human rights issue press push the one side and the certain things in back channels russia could happen if anybody. happens so that's not me that what was seen as the world yes it is standing against as transplanted against the child has as a monster coming forward in that it is a replication of the tank man image as well so this notion of david versus goliath but that that. the strength of china and the fear of the summer diva merging might of china which is quite shinning human rights principles john and what is this time his business muscle is getting in the way completely that's writing it on a compromising values completely completely. i'm state media's different spin on things without without of course are not sort of you knoww sort of slow thihings of well equipped and anyway that sort of
3:57 pm
reflects what what we know at least now well even if if this is the global times which is essentially mouthpiece expose. far the government in the and in beijing june the fourth. immunized china against turmoil and they say the communist party of china and the chinese government to determine the nature of the incident chinese society has also made a comprehensive summary of it. dropping the incident there are after has been aimed at helping the country leave the shuttle behind avoid disputes and help all chinese people face the future. a big one he goes on to say in conclusion all of these noises from the rest of the world i have no real impact on chinese society the actions of the external forces are completely in vain very nice they're still kick people those whose kids went missing that. day yeah i don't know what happened to this they don't know where they are they don't know you know what happened to the bodies of anything right and that's the thing that really you know smells of something. that's it's it's the brushing it under in washington on the cartridges. that's it and that's it james thank you very much and as much of a change created by the media to fix the cable business as
