mathias: my position hasn't changed. the middle of a campaign and i would look at that in the context of i campaign -- of a campaign. the oecd is about data and evidence. by any objective measure, australia has achieved significant outcomes when it comes to emissions reduction, 19% reduction across our economy, back to 2005 levels, which is substantially higher across the oecd. we had one of the highest levels of investment in renewable energy of any oecd country, particular when adjusted for population. we have the highest penetration of rooftop solar. if you look at reduction targets through 2030, we end up halving. it is one of the most ambitious targets across the oecd. australia has been committed to ambitious action on climate change. the focus has not been on whether or not to take effective action, it's how it is best done, in a way that is environmentally effective, that doesn't just shift emissions and other parts of the world. global emissions could be higher. something that is environmentally effective that s

and for more i am joined by turn a list mathias bolinger who is joining us from beijing and mathias i'd like to start briefly with the economy with you as we've heard china has become one of the few economies that have growth last year now the government's having this target of more than 6 percent how do they plan to reach that when it comes to g.d.p. growth. the signal is very clear the economy is going back to normal or the government wants the economy to go back to normal as are the economies will have been able to contain the virus there are a few others i want so korea new zealand for example. they all have been back at gross towards the end of the year and china's not this uing its goals now whether they can reach it or not they can always reach it because there's always ways for china to reach these goals like public investment for example this is what chinese growth has been relying on some experts say too much in the past few years china ones to rebalance its economy it wants to shift to woods consumer because consumption driven growth rather than investment driven growth also

and we can go back now to mathias who's also covering that story for you covered is now the 2nd canadian a to stand trial in china for espionage on espionage charges what is behind these cases. china is accusing him of crossing state secrets to the outside of the country and therefore this is an espionage case but we have not heard any any further details about what they accuse ing him of canada is considering and many of service are considering this as a case of hostage diplomacy these 2 men 2 might the 2 michaels as they're called michael coverage was on trial today and michael specter who was on trial last friday these 2 men have been arrested immediately after the arrest of among one joe the executive the c.f.o. of huawei in come out on an american extradition request and have ever since been out and the chinese officials have not made a big secret of what is really behind it they have said that canada holds the key to their release which means that they would release them if among one joe would be released and that is that's take let's talk big picture now this all comes as a u.s. p

and for more on this i'm joined by journalist mathias bolinger who is standing by for us in beijing and mathias we have to just mention for context last year this national people's congress imposed a national security law on hong kong that has led led to dozens of arrests in the region tell us now reforming the electoral system is in focus what does that mean well in the past or until now beijing hired a mechanism. tightly controlled who can be their chief executive and who can be in the government off on call but. it also is sure the majority for the beijing come in the legislature but the opposition always was able to gain quite a few seats in the legislature and use of course the legislature to promote their own political goes beijing has now driven out the opposition come out of the legislature that means they have disqualified some of the ledges late has and then the others resigned saying they would not be part of a parliament that would not repress and vote as will and they are making sure no that only people can get elected that are approved by beijing this is actually the end o

then there's the kingdom of mathias. if you want to read a scandalous book, you can read one on the kingdom of mathias. this is out of success struggling carpenter, who presented himself as a profit, presented himself as jesus christ. presented himself in different ways and was able to get some wealthy people to give him money and give them property. and the property was just about 30 miles north of new york in what is now singh singh, or where the prison was, it was being built about this time. and he collected a variety of people, including isabel, who worked for him and apparently did a lot of heavy, difficult work. was beaten again and this is part of when historians see her as still struggling to reframe herself too, resee herself as somebody who doesn't deserve that and that isn't a natural part of how she should be treated or how anybody should be treated. what makes the story particularly useful for her, he turned the cult into a sex cult. he assigned people different partners. she, apparently, was safe from that

of countermeasures but we should expect something like that to happen within the next few days ok mathias thanks for that stay right there because as that pressure is coming from the european union tensions are now ratcheting up with canada as well the canadian government is accusing beijing of hostage diplomacy at the start of another trial of a canadian citizen accused of espionage and a former diplomat michael covert was arrested 2018 and formally charged with spying last year the case against a 2nd canadian national facing the same charges opened last week a canadian diplomats have been refused access to the proceedings canada maintains both cases are retaliation for its arrest of a senior executive from the telecoms giant twa way. so much has has begun provided any details on the exact charges facing michael coverage here. beijing is accusing him of leaking state secrets to. to abroad so this is an espionage case he's formally charged with espionage. when we mention that he is the 2nd canadian citizen on trial in china what is behind these cases. well you have mentioned it kind of us

the view from beijing now on this story corresponding mature sproing is standing by for us there hi mathias have you seen any reactions there to these e.u. sanctions. there's no official reaction yet but what we're reading from chinese newspapers from state from the state media is that china is preparing counter measures what these would look like is not very clear and how they will all what impact that will have is also of course not clear what we can see although from these sanctions is that. while all these 4 individuals are certainly among those who have planned these atrocities that are called the genocide by many people one name is missing on this list and that's the head of the paci in this in general. who is seen as the architect behind these policies and who is sanctioned by the u.s. the u.n. has let the top off the hook and sanctioned his deputy so china will certainly note that this gesture this symbol of. not wanting to. get to be too tough on the community is not ok meant to stay there because pressure from the e.u. there is coming as a diplomatic dispute with canada is also he

grant, and the abolitionist mathias baldwin. mistakenly damaging good institutions because of our troubled past. multiple fact-checkers, multiple fact-checkers have torn into the simplistic notion that the rules of the senate are rooted in racism. historians told "politico" that the filibuster did not emerge from debates over slavery or segregation. one scholar's account was that the very first senate filibuster was over a bridge across the potomac river. the very first filibuster was over a bridge over the potomac river. the junior senator from massachusetts just got three pinocchios from "the washington post" for these arguments. their look, "the washington post"'s look at history found, quote, the first recorded filibusters in the senate concerned issues such as where to locate congress, what to do about andrew jackson's censure over withdrawn federal deposits, who would be appointed to a publication called "the congressional globe," and whether to create a national bank. nothing to do with racism. but i'm curious. if our dem
