not the death of the chinese state that corruption was endemic, corroding the legitimacy of the communist party. the party had become nothing much more than a stepping stone for personal, political and economic advancement. he was right to undertake the kind of very aggreeanticorruptie seen. it's been five years end of the year he has arrested more people than the year before. last year 570,000 officials were arrested with a 99% successful prosecution rate, as you might imagine. >> impressive legal training. to what extent does all of this represent, not so much a departure, but more a return to what was the case? you said before that there were big elements of deng xiaoping's philosophy -- don't pick on me for my pronunciation like you always do, please. to what extent does this really, a a return if you will to previous china, a combination like yes, yes and patient that a but also particularly domestically? does this represent a return to a china much top have become more authoritarian, , and some ways that are familiar? >> sure. one of the interesting things i found when doing research for

then my time in the east german communist party ruled the country with an iron head and. made a vow to all great had been party leaders since nine hundred fifty. we're going to vote in this totalitarian regime there was no freedom of expression or freedom of the press i don't buy that the rich can have one party control even extended to daycare centers and kindergartens. or describe it was pure indoctrination but i didn't get anything like that and i think what i did in kindergarten and later in school. there are all sorts of slogans like we are the better germany there are no nazis here. so that was a lie. in the nazis but. the communist party had less influence in the town assuredness valda near the czechoslovak border the catholic church saw to that. for the kids in the rolling stones club it was a mix of music and religious faith. but i'm so little because our parents told us that the government lied all the time to make itself look good but the church gave us a place where we could experience truth while we could talk to each other without being afraid to. tell you w

, the ruling communist party, this is the ruling communist party, this is the front page of the workers jong—un, talks to his people. littered with photographs of the bidding so. in two key revelations. they talk about the irritating relations. it was the key thing they wa nt to relations. it was the key thing they want to duhalde. the americans have agreed to halt the joint military exercises. a big win for the north. the report goes on to say the americans are going to lift sanctions. that is not something that was made clear in the discussions yesterday. president trump talked about the sentence lifted as and when the nuclear weapons were no longer a problem. it is not clear. 0ne weapons were no longer a problem. it is not clear. one other thing, they talked about agreeing on principle a step—by—step simultaneous action to deal with denuclearisation. we did not hear those words from the president estate. some of the reaction from the crean peninsula. from washington, dc, chris buckler —— korean peninsula. from washington, dc, chris buckler -- korean peninsula. the white house are hap

that means that they're pretty close to the communist party of china.t buy a zte telephone. i'm not saying it's not well made, but i wouldn't buy a zte telephone and allow my information, potentially, to be shared with president xi jinping and his party. >> what's it tell you that the trump administration is entering this deal with china in zte at the same time it is slapping tariffs on u.s. allies including canada and mexico? >> let me talk about the trade issue. i'm giving the president the benefit of the doubt. i think he is using the threat of tariffs that he made -- and he may even implement some to better negotiate trade deals. i think the president's too smart to get us in a trade war. i think the president understands that global trade is not a zero sum game. all trade surpluses are not good and all trade deficits are not bad. just because you're running a deficit, a trade deficit with a country doesn't mean they're winning and you're losing. >> you said you trust him, but you just said you didn't like the zte deal and to an extent -- >> i don't

chinese communist party corporate government. this is truly extraordinary. we have now by decree, the chinese communist party getting seats on governing boards of companies. so, this is not profit maxization anymore. it's like advance the strategic goals of the state. claim sovereign immunity on u.s. soil to prevent litigation. this is kind of interesting. they want access to our market and to do business here, but they also want to claim their state owned enterprises and not subject to our laws. interesting. counterfeiting and piracy. the ip commission report that john huntsman led, rich spent a lot of work on, came out with costs in the order of $300 billion a year, just on theft alone. this is an extraordinary transfer of wealth. cyber enabled espionage. mandates, which allow them to peek under the hood. traps to developing countries. this speaks to the idea that the way china is able, in many case, to gain control not just to the resources of the country like copper or cobalt, but infrastructure is to lend a bunch of money to these countries that they ca

frida kahlo and her husband were members of the mexican communist party and she was a feminist and an internationally recognized artist. she spent some time in san francisco and other american cities but she reportedly disliked american society and found americans boring. our history is full of good and bad and we do not tolerate racism and hatred. abolishing the name phelan from our street is erasing history and perpetuating hate. phelan avenue is named after an irish immigrant, not a racist. we urge you to recommit to naming our street. [applause] >> thank you. i will call somewhere name so you can start lining up. come on up. >> good afternoon supervisors. we love the name of phelan. i think there is no reason to rename and. frida kahlo is a member of a mexican communist party.

frida kahlo is a member of a mexican communist party. [ indiscernible ] [applause] >> good afternoon supervisors. i teach at city college of san francisco and i am faculty in the trauma prevention and recovery certificate and appreciate frida kahlo's role in bringing a complex examination of trauma in herart to the four. also as a bisexual woman, i am moved by the idea of having a city, a street named for such a visible, early out? or by women. her connection to san francisco was significant in starting in 1930 and in 1940 as the pan american unity mural was painted by her husband, who she remarried in san francisco, diego rivera. and participated in the community here. i can say that san francisco feels a connection to her you just have to walk around to see frida kahlo on a t-shirt, on a bag, painted on a pair of sneakers. san francisco loves her. san francisco it has been an international city who has honoured the struggle against oppression in many parts of the world. we have streets named for a polish leader of solidarity, and for the filipino dish filipino revolutionary. the sa

what multinationals are after some sort of security and stability and tinpot dictator or the communist party can give you can give you that. with its promise of workers' rights and a minimum wage the guatemalan revolution no longer made the country vulnerable for united fruit. in one nine hundred fifty one democratic elections brought taco bo out of ben's teapot. out of bed and set about putting into practice the first promise of the revolution amanda reform program which would redistribute the land of the large scale owners to small farmers. but at the top of the list of large earners with more than two thirds of the country's agricultural land was the united fruit company. president of bens issued a decree to confiscate hundreds of thousands of hectares of land kept in reserve by the company. the indemnities were based on the company's low tax declarations which never revealed its real profits. never before had united fruit been challenged in this way. as a young man samuels the murray had overturned a troublesome government this time with no mercenaries at hand he once again turned to his

the workers daily, the mouthpiece of the workers daily, the mouthpiece of north korea's ruling communist partykes, the smiles and the men meeting on equal terms and the paper then says, president trump agreed to lift sanctions, this of course was not something in the signed agreement. it appears to be far more than not the united states has said in work. —— in public. joining me now live from washington is doug paal, he's the vice president for studies at the carnegie endowment for international peace. he was also on the national security council staffs of presidents reagan and george h w bush between 1986 and 1993 as director of asian affairs. very good to talk to you. first of all, what do you make of that claim, this claim, particular claim, from pyongyang? i am surprised to hear it on your news programme because nothing came from the american side about that. but i am not surprised at the north came away with a number of m essa g es at the north came away with a number of messages that may not be in the public, it publicly released materials so far. they would have construed or heard thing

oversight of this new area is going to be directly accountable to the central committee of the communist party will be local officials that are in charge and with the central committee that kind of determines what goes on there and they're going to do everything they can to make that city into kind of kind of a blueprint for what they think other cities should be like it'll be kind of putting into practice their vision of you know they just added to the constitution president she's out of thoughts for a moderately prosperous socialist society socialism for china. these characteristics in the new era and they're going to be in acting the policies that they think up in their think tanks in their leadership institutions they're going to and acting them in this new area and kind of putting them into practice one thing that i think is very interesting is in addition to all this advanced technology they're actually going to have some archaeological sites and some ancient ruins on display and this is the chinese communist party basically making the point that even though they are modern even though t

state—backed enterprise that is ultimately loyal, not to its shareholders, but to the chinese communist party government," senator mark warner and marco rubio said in a letter to trump. for fans of football, there's no better time than the world cup. you get together with friends and family and watch top—class matches. in asia, that means sometimes staying up till the early hours of the morning, watching and munching on your favorite snacks. in china, the hot nibbles this year, are yabo, or what in english we'd call duck necks. stephen mcdonell has more. china like many other countries, is in the grip of football fever. here, that means a festival of sport, ears, and... duck necks. —— beer. all over beijing, just like other chinese cities, these good delivery drivers can be seen in big numbers rushing around the streets. this family has kindly allowed us to watch the game with them. come and meet them. so, we have got our beverages, we have got out duck necks, and we have got our football! enjoying the world cup action. that's it for business briefing this hour. but before we go, here are the

obviously raul is still head of the cuban military and he's also head of the communist party.the two most powerful organizations in cuba. or has that question been answered or not. what do you think? >> well, i think it can survive, particularly because of u.s. policy. because i think as long as he were empowering the cuban people, as long as we had a lot of americans coming down staying in these polidares, eating in these restaurants and buying souvenirs and there were 600,000. i guess there still are people in the private sector. you could really hope for change. people were traveling more. people had more freedom to speak, things like that. and that, to me, is the way the cuban government will change is when people begin to speak out when they begin to lose some of that fear. and then you'll have a widening of the cuban communist party so you can have descent within the party. >> i actually think that the party made a very smooth transition from fidel to raul. i thought it was kind of genius the way they did it. >> kind of a slow moving thing. >> yes. >> very slow. >> yes.

we see the same thing in china made to changes xi has the communist party structures.where democratic principles are being worn away, and i think it is really important for countries to stand against the bat, to actually demonstrate by reassuring their citizens that no, we do think about success for everyone and not just success for the business owner as being the only sustainable model. yes, there will always be successful people than others. factwhen i spoke about the i have raised taxes on the wealthiest 1% and lowering them class, when theos middle class has more money in , when people who actually spend their money are more confident about having that money to spend, more confident about their future and their kids future, i have no worries that businesses will be able to be profitable and to do very well when more people have confidence and money to spend in our society. perhaps ite, is flies in the pace of the trickle down economics that people are still clinging to, but i don't believe in those. i believe if you strengthen the middle class, strengthen the major

but the communist party considered it a failure.the team managed to get some downtime. there was a lake nearby, and our legendary goalkeeper lev yashin loved to fish. so he went off and bought himself a fishing rod and went fishing. so what advice would this veteran player gifted a's team? of course, they need to be ready, physically and tactically. but more important than that, they need to be ready psychologically. will he be watching this time? are you kidding? 0f will he be watching this time? are you kidding? of course i will. that was the bbc‘s chloe arnold reporting. and for more about lev yashin, there is an in—depth look at the soviet goalkeeper on the bbc sport website. so russia come into this tournament of the back of a disappointing showing at the european championships two years ago, where a last—minute equaliser against england was about the best it got. that was their opening match of the group stage, but they went on to lose against wales and slovakia. but on paper, this russia side faced the ideal opponents to make

party in germany doing? how is it different than the communist and socialist parties that are all over europe, and do it have anything to do with co-ops? >>>> yes. the name of the party in germany is called the die linke. "die" is "the," and "linke" is the german word for "left." they didn't want there to be any ambiguity about where they werere comingng from, so ty basiy call themselves ththe lefft party, d linke, and it is a party that camamtogether out oo other parties. first left wocial democratic party, the old established socialist party that has been in the government, has been the government. last leader of germany before angela merkel, the current leader was a man named schroeder, and he was a member of the social democratic party in germany. the left wing under a very, very charismatic leader, which was important, a man named oskar lafontaine, withdrew from the socialist party in order--excuse me--to found this new party the die linke. thehe other part of the die linke is the party that used to be the dominant party in what was east germany. you know, the east german and west german separation ende

he was a steel worker who rose through the ranks of the soviet communist party and seized his opportunityed. his election victories are coronations, not contests, last time around he won 97% of the vote. that doesn't seem to trouble western who see him as a bulwark of stability and an economic partner. now the president is driving a process of economic transformation, from commodities to trade, taking advantage of kazakhstan‘s proximity the most dynamic economic engine on earth, china. for me, travelling the silk road has always conjured up images of adventure and romance. but this is the reality today, a four—lane brand—new superhighway that slices through the kazakh steppes. and this new silk road is all about china's ambition to be the dominant global economy of the 21st century. imagine what marco polo would have made of this. khorgos dry port towers over the silk road on kazakhstan‘s eastern frontier. five years ago, this was empty steppe. now chinese railfreight rolls in, gets transferred onto a kazakh gauge track and can be in europe within a dozen days, halving shipping times. if
