numbers to support stablished parties are going to example of that this is the english language china daily newspaper a mouthpiece of the government there's a headline this is monday morning but printed sunday night turnout sets record in hong kong district voting inside never tauriel which says and i quote that the elections or both the record turnout and a record number of candidates demonstrates the hope the hong kong residents have that the chaos will not continue clearly they were expecting these elections to go the other way and to be able to use that essentially to say there's been a referendum on the chaos and the violence has been condemned by the people that hasn't happened and as a result the media has gone silent china daily is website which of course many hours now to update that hasn't it's all in fact is leading now with a piece about japan china relations nothing to do with the elections has disappeared off the media and what's interesting and as well in the last 45 minutes the ministry of foreign affairs has held its daily press conference now they spokes person there was a

lose that referendum obviously it hasn't turned out that way and when you go to the website of china daily for the latest information guess what that same article is front and center there's nothing on the result whatsoever so really silence so far from beijing when it comes to these results and that in itself tells you everything you need to know. but on to in terms of an official response i mean how are the chinese government's going to respond to this. well the ministry of foreign affairs gives a briefing every day to foreign journalists and we're expecting that as per normal in about 2 hours time and no doubt they will be asked about these results and we should get some sort of official response from the minister of foreign affairs then the only comment we've had at all so far is from china's foreign minister he's in japan and he was asked about the election results and what he said was that quote hong kong is part of china no matter what happens in elections well that's really answering a question that no one is asking no one is saying is hong kong part of china after this of course i

showing support for the protesters it hasn't turned out that way and if you go to the website of china daily on monday there is no updates about what so about nothing about the results merely a repetition of that article so i based that on the lack of a response from beijing i think it's safe to say the government here did not see these results coming. right to lebanon where they have been violent scenes and supporters of to share movements clashed with protesters in the capital beirut police intervened after supporters of hezbollah and amal attacked demonstrators who are demanding government change now this is some of the worst violence in more than a month of demonstrations live now to beirut our correspondent there is enough harder is this an indication then that the the common purpose that was being expressed by lebanese it would have appeared is now cracking and there is an element of sectarianism creeping in to the demonstrations. well there is no doubt that mainly sectarian parties in lebanon continue to have support among the people what we saw last night violence and unrest at least

rocked the island now while those who support the protests not stay when not everyone is on board china daily published an editorial monday stating the result of sunday's district council election marks a setback for hong kong's democratic development as the results were skewed by the illegal activities of the opposition camp to the benefit their candidates in the run up to sunday's voting members of the opposition camp particularly their young agitators engaged in an all out campaign to sabotage the campaign activities of pro establishment candidates and intimidate their supporters from going to the ballot box now kristie there's a lot going on here but what is the signal.

the chinese official propaganda, in the state owned newspaper like china daily, every time henry kissingerisited china, they call him "chinese people's old friend." ok? this is a very noble title from the chinese newspaper. and among them, only a handful of foreign leaders enjoy that noble title, including cuba castro, and former president, and south africa's mugabe, and kissinger is chinese people's old friend. do you think this is a positive, objective comment that henry kissinger deserves? if the chinese people gave you that title, will you gladly accept it, or not? >> [laughter] winston: many parts of the question. if i don't answer all of it, i will come back to it. i am happy to say there will be a chinese edition of this book, because of the interest and approval of kissinger. certainly not because of my name, although i had something to do with the china opening. this will be published in china. it will be published in russia. and tomorrow, it comes out in the german edition. that's the good news. but unless we change the title, i don't think it is going to be a bestseller in ameri

polluted ground water and air have become commonplace in an around china's big cities everyone has got used to monitoring air quality on a daily basis. the air is good here in the mountains. really fresh in fact. you know but as soon as i get closer to beijing things deteriorate. i start to feel really unwell. feet before. this was the scene in beijing 4 years ago the footage was taken at midday but it could be nice china is the biggest air pollution in the world. for a long time the country relied only on coal but no new coal powered stations are being built anymore coal consumption has flatlined since 2013 over the last 5 years or so there's been a lot of improvements in beijing's air quality in the air quality across northern china. that's being as a result of a lot of government measures to clamp down on. the burning of coal and households to switch. heating with gas heating and also stricter emissions standards on industry. the emission levels of many industrial plants are now being tested in real time and posted online margin collects these huge amounts of data. with this new one can see who is exceeding the norms and th

very difficult to find anybody in china who thinks that that is going to happen any time soon. >> so you speak to so many of these sources within the government on a daily things we're seeing develop over the weekend is this idea that china might be getting more serious about the idea of cracking down on intellectual property theft that's been a real sticking point for a lot of these negotiations is it really fair to say that china wants to move on something like that? >> well, i think it does there are people within the government who understand that it makes sense for china to crack down on intellectual property theft especially because china wants to become a property leader. the movement and the trend is for china to improve the rights for intellectual property. is it moving in the way the u.s. wants? are they talking about forced technology transfer which is china continuously denies? that's another question. >> so this idea of technological superiority. we know that china is trying to jockey with the u.s. for superiority in things like artificial intelligence and supercomputing if you have all of these dynamics in play, is it fair to say that the

china to make its life miserable. the trade negotiator coming out almost daily we're very close to a deal. stock market, puts pressure on mr. trump, if there is no deal let's face it the stock market will adjust down a bit. it is his way of saying i'm ready to deal, i'm ready to deal. charles: the bluster to your point changed dramatically last six months. six months when this whole thing began, china came out, we'll fight you back. no big deal. americans are saying china is playing the long game. they can chill out for 100 years because they're so wealthy. you know what? 100 years ago mao went into the mountains with a bunch of ragtag revolutionaries and they could do the same thing now. no, they can't. they won't get out of these mercedes-benz. they won't go back to buys sells. there is no way they can do that now. >> i think the presidency ought to look at hong kong. that could happen in shanghai. charles: yeah. >> but the thing is, there is not much more they can do to us. they basically screwed down our exports. they really can't cut them down much further. they have hurt farmers. we

my frustrations is, while we are talking about a code of conduct with china, china's changing facts on the ground under a daily basis. time we are wasting our and negotiation which by the way we not even sure it will be legally fighting we are not going to be sure if it's can be legally binding, whose interpretation of international law? my message is one of cautious optimism. my message is there are three reasons to be skeptical about this whole conventional wisdom that asia is gone, china has already won it. i come from the philippines. if i'm going to use boxing as a metaphor, i think we are in round four and this will go all the way to around 12, if not more. one, the first reason is america's power and the resilience of its power and influence in asia has been underestimated. at a much more observant analysis of america's power. for instance, i think michael has done a good job in his latest book. he talks about net power. a lot of people mistakenly think china is taking over because their gdp is so large, but the country's power is not just that. it is ecological resources, human capital, a living standa

while we're talking about a code of conduct with china, china is changing fast on the ground on a daily basis. so while we're wasting our time in negotiations, which by the way we're not even sure it's going to be legally binding, we're not going to be sure if it's going to be legally binding, whose interpretation of international law, facts on the ground are changing. nonetheless, my message here is one of cautious optimism. my message is that there are reasons to be skeptical. i come from the philippines, one of our icons -- if i'm going to use boxing as a metaphor, i think we're in round four and he's going to do to round 12, if not more. why? the first reason is i think america's power and the resilience of its power and influence in asia has been underestimated. if you look at much more observant analysis of america's power, for instance, i think michael bigly has done a good -- beckley has done a good job. talking about net power. a lot of people think china is take over because their g.d.p. size is so large but the country's power is not just the growth size of your economy. it's

of course every expedition to africa and china she kept a very detailed journal and with these trips she would come back 150 pages of daily notes what she was doing or thinking even as a prisoner of war later she kept the diary actually germans allow diary keeping by the pow so all of this raw material allowed me to create this intimate portrait that otherwise would have been impossible. so when sydney left for hawaii gertie had two daughters at that time. one was 11 and one was to. she wanted to do something with congress but they rejected her because she did not have a college degree but the red cross wouldn't take her because she had young children. eventually she used her connections and she had many connections of american high society and the word time american espionage of the cia and the subject of a wonderful novel of a raleigh resident. she got a job in the communications office all of the incoming and outgoing cables would pass through her hands to make sure that it was right classification so a lot of top secret material passed through her hands but she hated washington i think she associated washington first
