part of the image xi jinping has , to trying to per direct china to national journey from a to today, aation modern, rising power, which is the second or first largest economy. the pomp and pageantry we saw, including one of the biggest military parades beijing has sharply withasted the firebombs, the barricades, and the bonfires, including in the images we were seeing in hong kong. protesters chose this anniversary to upstage and hope the forced patrioticc celebration. in can argue they exceeded doing so. outside of china right now, we are talking about it and we will continue talking about it. this is the first time we have seen a live round being fired. .hey began back in june these protests have gone on week after week. has we are seeing is china not explicitly stepped in. -- on their territory. police are tired. they are under a pressure right now. they are giving wiggle room, time, handle it, contain it. stop these protests. if you don't, we will have to. that is the message. that is why these protests have taken a dynamic of their own. there is a vicious circle in the violence

xi jinping has kicked off a massive military parade to mark 70 years of communist rule.mplete national unity as democracy protesters in hong kong begin to gather from were demonstrations across the city. >> we must remain committed to the strategy of peaceful reunification and one country, two systems. we will maintain long-term prosperity and stability of hong kong and macau. matt: celina is in beijing and stephen engle is in hong kong. what has been significant about today's parade? beijing has been on tight security for weeks and weeks leading to a massive parade featuring more than 100,000 people. celebrating about 70 years of communist party rule, one year longer than how long the soviet union lasted and it is about showing a massive transformation of china from an impoverished state ravaged by war to the world's second-largest economy on the cutting edge of technologies from 5g to artificial intelligence and one way to showcase the growing economic and political clout is through this massive military parade where we saw advanced weaponry on parade -- display and we

china's president xi jinping has arrived in nepal after a 2 day state visit to india xi jinping held talks with prime minister narendra modi on a range of issues including trade the issue of kashmir and chinese support of pakistan was apparently off the agenda i would like to state quite categorically that this issue was not resolved and not discussed and therefore there is no question of. my making any further comments on the matter in any case the government position as expressed publicly is very clear this is a matter that concerns the internal affairs of the country. now the u.s. and china have struck a partial deal that could lead to the end of the 15 month long trade war between the world's 2 largest economies donald trump says he's completed phase one of talks with china's vice premier the us president suspended tariff increases which were due to be imposed on tuesday on $250000000000.00 worth of chinese imports hugo she ations for a complete agreement are expected to take 5 weeks. but we've come to a deal in intellectual property financial services. a tremendous deal for the

china puts on a massive show of military might to mark 70 years of communist rule president xi jinping has no power.

world and i read 250000 people are on a waiting list for public housing so what does that mean she jinping has to do if there's not going to be a military option like tiananmen square in $1809.00. well i think if you think back to me 2 years and she jumping visited hong kong and celebration the city said that was a red line across which people could not cross and we've seen that red line crossed again and again so how does that what does that mean for the party which a lot of people have overestimated i think. sort of underestimated the importance of hong kong is actually still very very important because it's still the main conduit for a lot of the money leaving china not only going into china and it's also very important region itself shanghai isn't there yet shanghai has tried repeatedly to unseat hong kong but it hasn't succeeded so economically hong kong is crucial and it also it has a very important psychological role in the makeup of the whole country so i think it's a real problem about how do you how do you deal with this child. and i don't really see where the answers are going to co

>> the event has really gotten underway. standinge xi jinping beginnings and the of the people's republic of china. this is it celebration of 70 years of common's party control. president xi jinping is andently overseeing marching along. we've had a multi-gun salute in the last few seconds. the military parade is firmly in focus. bombers, a lot of china's nuclear capability expected to be underway as well. you also have drones as part of the parade. tosident xi has worked transform it here. event that iss an trying to communicate a vision of china for the communist party and of what they see are the achievements of the last 70 going to bet is not talking about some of the darker whether that is the crackdown in tiananmen square or what left 40 59 people -- 45 people dead. they will focus on the military achievement and the party they say is crucial for the challenges of the country base. >> tell me, what has the , naturallyeen saying to hongso dovetail this kong and the political situation here. >> it was interesting to see yesterday president x

shery: president xi jinping has hong kong. t trump has his own impeachment drama unfolding in washington. who has the upper hand? amy: i have a feeling that both sides believe that they do hold the upper hand. i think the vice premier signaling in advance of the trade talks with the chinese government will not included in these discussions, talking about industrial policy or subsidies or enforcement policies. that seems to me to signal the chinese side of things it can take issues off the table because they have a little more leverage right now. i think president trump continues to focus on the fact that the chinese economy is weaker. of course, the hong kong situation unraveling gives the u.s. side in some ways a little more leverage. i think the danger is that both sides see themselves having so much strength that neither side needs to compromise and having a deal that will help american companies, chinese companies and our economies. paul: how about the political dimension? because president trump facing some domestic pressu

. >> the reason for that is xi jinping is policy for that is to buyer time, that has changed dramatically under xi jinping. xi jinping has announced his goal is the chinese stream. and the chinese stream in my view is a really a communist party of china. this is where china is seeking to take its rightful place as the sole superpower in the world. so, it's not just that they are spreading their own power and the communist system and their predatory lending practices, but, it also means that in order for them to achieve that, they have to go after the united states. they had to weaken their main enemy. and there we see the unfettered policies of china to send the opioid defense knowledge to the united states to exasperate the op of crisis. >> is a nature that they have strived rather successfully they have done that through the votes which basically says he is leader for life, he also has done that even in articulating the power of the communist party. he talks about the revitalization of the communist party. you see here made to any capacities be vulnerable? >> he has consolidated powers

. >> chinese president xi jinping has kicked off a mammoth series of parades and celebrations to mark 70 years of communist rule. xi said nothing can stop china's advance and china must remain committed to the one-country two-systems approach to maintain the long-term stability of hong kong. >> there's no force that can shape the foundation of this great nation. no force can stop the chinese people and chinese nation from forging ahead. >> the message really is one of unity and stability and certainly economic and military might. this is china putting, of -- putting across a miss -- putting across a message for the domestic audience of military strength and stability and unity. of course, at a time when china is facing incredible pressure domestically, or the external environment where the u.s. is challenging china on a number of fronts. but today, china and the communist party would like us all to focus on the military parade behind us and president xi jinping. >> beijing is celebrating with unbelievable pictures and events and music. [protesters chanting] >> on the flipside, in hong

chinese president xi jinping has kicked off a series of celebrations marking 70 years of communist rulets included a military parade passed tiananmen square, showing off china's most advanced weaponry. xi said he is committed to the one country, two systems framework. >> today, the socialist china is standing in the east of the world. there is no force that can shake the foundation of this great nation. no force can stop the chinese people and the chinese nation from forging ahead. >> in the u.k., prime minister boris johnson will unveil his new brexit plan to eu leaders today, according to "the daily telegraph." the key will be the reception of the new plant to receive on both sides of the channel. he is still primary -- promising to deliver brexit on october 31 with or without a deal. japan's sales tax increase comes into effect today. 10% inlimbing from 8% to an attempt to rein in the world's largest public debt. it dragged down consumption in prices and shrink the economy by more than 7%. saudi aramco is producing more than 9.9 million barrels of crude oil per day as it fully recove

criminals, especially corrupt officials from hong , ng and what we see right now as you pointed out, xi jinping hasetty popular leader within china, because of the corruption cam -- anti-corruption campaign, but also because he has been adopting a much more assertive leadership style which on the surface tried to sort of promote nationalism and tried to assert china's influence both in the region and globally and i think that has been an issue that is going to color how mainland chinese public looks at hong kong because they see hong kong as this kind of oublemaker that is being manipulated by the west against china. amy: and can you talk about the inequality in hong kong and whether that has anything to do with the intensity and the duration of the protests, cogged to oxgene the equality is higher than it's been in 45 years, almost half a century, and what is the reason for that? kevin: absolutely. so hong kong is one of the most equal society anywhere, and this is not a accidental. ng kong, which was a irish colony a hundred years was set up as a trading port and financncial center later on. so i

the reason is that xi jinping has politics of his own. we saw this in april and may when they rejected a deal with us, and they had actually made the concessions across the board, that they had agreed to, and, you know, they eventually ended up not doing that. the reason is, xi jinping could not get agreement from the other stake holders in the communist party, especially the leaders of the state enterprises. there's a lot of politics in our country, and we focus in on that, but the politics in china are much more intense, and we saw that with this that just ended a few hours ago. it is possible they walk away from a deal even though it is not in their interest to do that >> gordon, you listen to pompeo, it sounds as if the president's perspective here is to somehow try to make china a communist country not communist. is that the purpose of trade war? david: not a bad goal. >> it was about the trade deficit. then it was about american jobs. the president keeps making excuses, keeps moving the goal posts. think he doesn't want a trade deal

down military spending but again we haven't seen that in the past and it's pretty clear that she jinping has placed military modernization and reform at a very high level of importance for his own domestic agenda so i do not anticipate that a trade war would change this unless it produced a truly catastrophic result for the chinese economy something like in the order of a massive recession right ok eric gomez we thank you very much for speaking to us from washington. plenty more ahead on the al-jazeera news hour including. iran that it wants to lower a steadily rising tensions with saudi arabia. a leadership crisis strikes peru why the country now 2 presidents and in sport a dream run for africans at the world championships peter has the action a little later in the news hour. it's been revealed the u.s. president sought to enlist the help of another foreign leader for political gain donald trump asked the australian prime minister to help the u.s. justice department investigate the moeller inquiry which examined russian interference in the 2016 election the australian government has said it

xi jinping has made it very clear he wants china to remain united and so it is unlikely that he is goingsked for. as the message for more, for america in this, for example?” think if there is anything to be said what is going on there and america wants to retain its position as global leader, now is the time to say something. thank you very much for coming in. if like me you are prone to forgetting people's names, you may find comfort in this next story. in the cotswalds there has been a gathering of nigel‘s. 433 nigels from around the world who gathered at a pub in worcestershire to celebrate a night of nigel—ness. why, you might ask? well, because the nigels are a dying breed. less than 8 nigels were born in england and wales last year, and it was time to make a stand. the man behind the idea was nigel smith — that's him on the right — landlord of the fleece inn. among their number was the region's mp — nigel huddleston — there was a nigel from cyprus and a nigel from texas who won the coveted award of furthest travelled nigel. and together they drank ale. nig—ale. like it. and the bea

chinese president xi jinping has wrapped up his 2 day visit to india regional security concerns and the trade imbalance of dominated talks with the prime minister there towards after india revoke the special status of indian administered kashmir china has traditionally back to pakistan in its decades long dispute with india until joins me now from the southern indian temple resort where the 2 leaders have met and of course this meeting was all supposed to be about trade issues between the 2 countries and how has it been viewed. oh well the 2 leaders certainly spoke about clear and the outcome is that they have agreed to set up a mechanism ministerial level to take this forward india has huge concerns when it comes to plead with china although the 2 economies are large that they are conducting business of billions of dollars and this year is expected to cross $100000000000.00 india faces a huge trade deficit of over $51000000000.00 this is something that india has been raising with china even during the summit it was raised but in terms of concrete outcomes other than the setting up of t

a jinping has kicked off massive military parade to mark 70 years of communist rule and pledged complete national unity as democracy protesters rally in hong kong. let's go to hong kong with stephen engle. what is the latest? stephen: tens of thousands of protesters are defying a police fromand they are marching the eastern part of hong kong island to central and beyond, perhaps even as far as the liaison office of the chinese government. ban are defying the police and already the police have responded in simultaneous coordinated protests in other parts of the city comedy have responded in a more remote neighborhood with tear gas, and they are clearly showing signs they are not going to tolerate this illegal assembly. still, these are not just young radical protesters behind me. these are families. these are grandmothers. young and old are here and they have been culminating over the targetingmonths, october 1 because of what is happening today in beijing. thes a national holiday, 70th birthday of the founding of the people's republic of china. the protesters want to send xi jinping and

guess it's probably unlikely >> reporter: i also asked the president whether or not he told xi jinping as has been reported he would remain quiet about the hong kong protest during the course of these china trade negotiation. the president said no i didn't he said we're new yorkgotiating. politically it would be very tough. the president going on at some length here about the protests in hong kong and admiring the american flags, the trump signs he sees in the crowd and admiring pro democracy protesters but ultimately saying that the protests in hong kong and trade negotiations with the chinese are not linked >> interesting because just i want to say a month and a half ago or so the president, i believe, had made some comment to the effect we want to see that resolved first and then we can talk as if the trade talks would be contingent on the protests in hong kong dying down here we are today, and it's a much different story >> reporter: the president saying he hopes it's resolved in a humane way >> thank you >>> this could be the biggest market moving event this week. we have president trump

as the middle class has taken on a demand for more consumption products and a better lifestyle, there is certainly more freedom than existed in the now years. ao years. m as xi jinpings looking at his own economic reform, he has brought a combination of the loosening of economic principles by cracking down on political ones. david: at the same time we are seeing a slowdown in the growth rate. we have bloomberg economics making projections, depending on whether reform continues as opposed to whether the trade war. it shows less growth, although if there is reform, it is better than the norm. if there is a trade war it is worse. how much of the growth of china will depend on their trade relations with the united states? deborah: you are absolutely right it was inevitable the economy was going to slow down. there is a big difference in economic growth on a $1 trillion economy than a $14 trillion economy. one of the reasons china is engaged in trade negotiations with the administration's they see many of the dates the administration was asking for, the market opening in the financial sector, better protection of intellectual property, and a range of different things ben

>> well, xi jinping. this hasous consequences for him, because what's at stake is not simply the seven million people of hong kong and its economic importance but also this will have tremendous implications for taiwan and indeed, for politics on the mainland itself. so he's calling the shots. he is reluctant to use a massive crackdown on force, because again, it would make it far more difficult for him to ultimately realize his goals with taiwan if he were to do that, he could bring forward different types of economic sanctions, it could be pushed back against his leadership inside. this would be seen as a defeat. on the other hand, there's a limit to how much he can swallow. so the word dilemma is overused. this is a real dilemma for him. liz: i would imagine, because as you look at these protests over the past, what, 11, 12, 13 weeks, the u.s. response has been muted, even as these protesters have held up american flags. you know, they are democratically inclined, of course, and they want their freedom. this all

jinping. days chile's capital santiago has resembled a war zone. protesters throwing rocks and stones at police. they responding in kind with water cannon. tear gas and more. it's against this backdrop that chile's embattled president has taken a decision he must regret. to cancel hosting not one but 2 upcoming international summits sent the most 11 that will throw food we deeply lament the problems and the inconvenience that this decision will have on apec as well as for the cup 25 summit. that all of us the as president of all chileans have to always put the problems and interests of the chileans their necessities and their hopes 1st. middles beloved. president pinera has already replaced a 3rd of his cabinet in his latest attempt to quell the unrest. but surely in this continue to take to the streets. up to a 1000000 marching against inequality poor public services and a struggling economy. few are bothered by the decision not to host either the apec summit in november or the un climate meeting a month later. reverend wright yes it's true these

kilometers away from the historical sites spruced up to welcome the wizarding chinese president xi jinping for what has been described as an informal summit by the indian government according to chinese officials and one indian official that we've spoken to this informal summit would give the 2 leaders a relaxed time to discuss several issues in other words anything that emerges out of this conversation is going to be a windfall and expectations have been cut short right from the start the 2 leaders will talk about how to avoid the skirmishes at the borders that they disputed what sort of security mechanisms to put in place and they also talk about trade india is very keen on bridging the trade deficit of over $51000000000.00 and wants china to accept more imports from india china on the other hand was india to back its one bet one road project which is a china center trading project spanning continents but at the moment there is just too much bad blood between beating in new delhi especially since the indian government stripped the indian administered kashmir of its autonomy and china backed pakistan

jinping should meet with the protesters. joe: president trump's position is interesting. he has xi jinping, congratulated them on the 70th anniversary of the party, while at the same time attacking the nba for kowtowing to beijing. the focus right now is how this could play out. what happens if you bring hong kong to the table in trade negotiations and say, there is so much pressure over here, and keep playing this up. own problemss its with the president now facing that impeachment inquiry in the house. it could go either way. caroline: as you said, it is complicated. shery, absolutely amazing. think you for bringing that all to us. she will continue to make clarity of it all on "daybreak: ,"stralia," and daybreak: asi starting at 6:00 eastern time. joe: i will be watching tonight's democratic debate. 12 presidential hopefuls on one stage in ohio, starting at 8:00 p.m. eastern. romaine: more economic data out of the u.s.. retail sales, housing, the federal reserve. caroline: that is all from "what'd you miss?." romaine: "bloomberg technology" coming up next in the u.s. joe: thi

naxi jinping under chi has really developed itsal militarya as a great poanwer, ab out the inheritor of empire, and showing off all of this military really helps him prove that.le these are nu missiles. we have never seen them before. nuclear armed gliders. weapons designed to evade u.s. defenses. troops, 160 aircraft, 580 artillery. xi jinping there lebrating with the crowd and as i said, this commemorates the founding of the people's republic ochina some this is a communist celebration but very s muhto have arrived on the world stage as great power.at p t >> woodrufwhat extent, though, is that now overshadowed by what's going on in hong kong >> ye completely changed the narrative. as i said, the chinese are so proud of today. they have been working on that for months. an now we are covering hongv kong. when we have a split screen, literally, between the tw things. and so all of the pomp andce circumstan on the left side in lashesg, the protest and c there on the right in hong kong. these arethompletely different ideologies. on the left celebrating one party rule. celebrating how fa

morning post has a bit of a different take with the picture of that celebration in china, with the picture of president xijinping. i also in china, with the picture of president xi jinpinghich has the national anthem of the people's republic of china. yesterday as well the newspaper had a similar paid advertisement which had the congratulatory message to china and its 20th anniversary, a reminder that the south china morning post is owned by alibaba, a huge tech giant in china, founded byjack ma, a known menace party member. it's not just the local papers, though, the new york times also has this big excerpt from the protest and talking about the first incident in which the protester was injured by live ammunition. a lot of discussion about whether that was really necessary , about whether that was really necessary, police of course have been saying defending their action, that the officer opened fire because he felt his life was under threat. but whether or not his life was indeed under threat has been discussed especially in social media as well, kasia. it's interesting to see the contrast between how the papers cover the events in hong kong and of course the celebrat

did he discuss it and has he discussed it with president xi jinping? says he has not, but, of course, at the core of this impeachment inquiry is what you just mapped out. did the president pressure another foreign leader to investigate his political rival was there a quid pro quo, if not explicit, was it implicit. that is what lawmakers on capitol hill, house democrats, are looking into. so now they have a new avenue that they're undoubtedly going to be scrutinizing, hailly. what if any conversations were had between this administration and chinese officials about the bidens. if president trump didn't have this conversation with president xi jinping did anyone have those sorts of conversations. those are among the questions you're going to start to see asked and try to get answered to on capitol hill as the investigations continue to ramp up. >> kristen, stand by. ambassador burns, want to bring you in on the china piece on this. as president trump today is standing on the south lawn calling on chinese officials to investigate his political rivals' fam

he also says that he believes it will take care of itself and praised president xi jinping here, saying everyone hasfor what is a big deal, substantial deal, and progress. china praising this, as well. the state media is touting this likewise as a great move and, of course, made sure to put in the quotes from president trump praising president xi jinping. >> david culver reporting on both stories, including hong kong and how it relates to your backdrop right now. david, thank you. >>> speaking of hong kong, line of protesters has been on the move marching. this is the 19th straight weekend that pro democracy protesters hit the streets. some marchers are covering their faces. keep in mind, that is against the law after the city's leaders announced an emergency measure that bans face masks last week. other protests are planned, including a sit-in for the elderly and a demonstration at a shopping mall. >>> it was quite a stunt, you could say, but the protester on top of this commercial jet got more than he bargained for. we'll explain. i can't believe it. what? that our new house is haunted by casper t

communist rule the people's republic of china has changed beyond all recognition since it was founded after a bit of a civil war with nationalists today president xi jinping told the gathered crowd that china's development would be peaceful but that its military would safeguard its sovereignty and security. strength discipline and vision this was the message from a state that has defied the odds for 70 years on tuesday the world's longest surviving communist nation celebrated its achievements on a grand scale standing where chairman mao proclaimed the people's republic in 1949 president being struck a combative note. whole nation. today a socialist china is standing proudly in the world's east. and no force can change the position of our great motherland and no force can stop the chinese people and the chinese nation from stepping forward. the spectacle that followed was designed to highlight china's rise from a nation in despair to a global superpower. at the forefront of that newfound confidence a display of military might on a massive scale advanced weaponry including nuclear capable mistrials rumbling through beijing. the event comes at a crucial time

meanwhile, china has celebrated 70 years of communist party rule. president xi jinpingg kong, where the police have been defending their action after shooting an 18—year—old protester in the jazzed. not surprisingly, that has been dominating the local media coverage this morning —— in the chest, this is the apple daily with the exact moment the police officer pointed a gun at the protester. and the fact that he is a teenager, a student, is in the newspaper. 118 people have been arrested yesterday, the biggest number of arrest made in one day. meanwhile, the south china morning post has a slightly different take on it. you can see the contrast between china's celebration with a picture of xijinping and between china's celebration with a picture of xi jinping and that protester being shot. but i also wa nt to protester being shot. but i also want to show you this, a paid advertisement, a wraparound of the newspaper with the national anthem of the people's republic of china. yesterday the paper had a similar paid advertisement, congratulating china for the 70th anniversary
