eunice is live for us. this is his big final speech, so reading in sort of between the lines almost is very telling. it's the legacy he's trying to cath. and what less gassy is that? >> many here believe what he is saying is significant in that it is his final farewell. he really was just reading through the work report to talks about the achievements, the economic and political achievements that the party has had. and also to outline the future challenges. one of the first challenges you had already addressed is the issue of corruption. he said the government needed to do more to root it out. >> eunice, we're having trouble with your sound. we'll get the bite rolled as soon as we can. when we hear from -- i'd like to go back to eunice if we can to stay on this issue. but there's been a lot of focus in the last couple of days as to whether china's next leaders will be reformists or conservatives and just what the influence is of some of the older party leaders. so should investors actually be bracing not fo

eunice is in beijing with more. just run us through how this pans out and what we sort of know at the moment. do we know any more details on numbers of that bureau? >> reporter: well, they're supposed to be about 25, but right now we're in a very critical period in this leadership selection process, because the central committee, which is a very powerful committee, has already been chosen. that happened this morning. and the 200 or so people who are on that committee are now going to be deciding on who is going to be in the innermost circle of power. as well as the upper elite, so those people are among the standing committee. so the current vice president as well as the vice premier are likely to be on that standing committee if they are indeed going to be elevated to the position of party chiefs, which most people expect. but at this stage, we know that there's a lot of jock i canning for position at this stage. because the country is at a kros road -- crossroads. many people expected him to really try to have a l

eunice has more for us this morning. it sounds like a pretty signature consolidation of power under xi. >> definitely is a consolidation of power. he'll get a very strong mandate as you had mentioned to run this country the way that he wants. he gets the three top titles, the most powerful are party chief, president as well as military commander. that is very significant because it allows him to have more control over his own agenda. when he went to meet the press this morning, he was looking very casual, looking a about folksy. when he was youtd lining the challenges ahead for the nation. >> our party faces many challenges and there are many pressing problems that need to be resolved. the problems among our party members of corruption, taking bribes, being out of touch with the people, undue emphasis on formalities must be addressed with great efforts. the whole party must be vigilant against them. >> the problem is, though, that it's still unclear how he's going to tackle all of those challenges and just how aggressive

kelly, over to you. >> eunice, thank you for that. sticking with china's economy for a second, we did get mixed news on the strength of its domestic economy. private survey of china's services sector slipped in october to a reading of 53.5, down about a point from the month before. over the weekend, china's special services gauge which includes the construction sector picked up from a two year low in september. analysts say the data shows china's growth slowdown may be bottoming out. over to india now where the picture is more clear. service sector growth slowed down in october to its slowest in six months. europe's recession and america's sluggish economy played a large role in cutting demand for india's services. the sector makes up 60% of the country's economic output. >> ministers and central bankers are meeting in mexico day one of the summit saw a focus in the debt woes and weighing's fiscal cliff. ministers pushed the u.s. to act decisively to solve the debt ceiling impasse calling it the biggest short term threat to global gro

nora smith there and her full interview with eunice actually coming up on air fifteen thirty g.m.t. well more news still to come for you head off the break stay with us. a lovely quiet morning a family gently sleeps in district heights maryland when fifty armed f.b.i. agents storm the house guns drawn despite the family pleading that they were unarmed the law enforcement agents opened fire on a weaponless teenager my usually thankfully sholay suffered minor flesh wounds but the key issue is that it rates unknown as to why the house was stormed so here in america for no reason guys in black uniform storm someone's house all alone and some rounds i left with no justification or explanation yes the family still doesn't know why this happened the f.b.i. is remaining silent you know i understand that there are some very bad individuals out there doing some very bad stuff at home but if you don't even really know whose house you're storming or why you're storming it then maybe you should lay off the siege for a while you know what take a few minutes to think it over have a cup of coffee a

after that and legendary coach eunice cause allows gus was replaced with another familiar face at torrey messina will help the team with the euro league twice in the last six years and finding the right balance with the new squad was his primary task from the first day of his return to moscow however whether the roster is half . you are not winning everything is almost a requirement for anyone supporting the army in men's uniforms knowing you are going to scare us but that the fight them till the very last game in every competition for sure that everybody wants. to be in final four but also i think that the bit if you just admitted both because it is becoming a very important league. sonny weans is one of three american players who join says call this year while his combat tree it's dion's a christmas and arab league jackson are getting up to speed with the rest of the team forwards weems already managed to become one of the euro league's top five scorers averaging over sixteen points per game the forwards are on the raptors store now against what it all with ses cup we can be no the bes

been injured and one critically injured so he has been killed a twenty year old man from the han eunice area being about two thirds of the way down the gaza strip bordering with israel now under the ceasefire most gazans see that the minute israel had put imposed on palestinian television the palestinian side of the border had been erased and that the farmers in the area whose land had been taken away they would not be able to farm so this morning a group of palestinians went to what they thought was now again that palestinian territory look at this israeli jeep which is rusting away and we've learned that as you say one palestinian has been killed in that incident we're now getting reports that there are protests following in the area now i think looking at the situation politically on both sides of the border i don't think that even though this twenty year old man has been killed that the cease fire will break it's not in the interest of the state of israel it's not in the interest of hamas here locally and i think this is going to be one of the most grave tragedies of these last coup
