President xi jinping can control a lot of things but he cant influence the weather to the superstitious and many people here are the great start to this Congress Perhaps over warning sign. In spite of the weather this was a day of choreographed unity after what has been a tumultuous few years for the party. But there was a stirring welcome for the president. This is as close as the foreign media get to the opaque workings of chinas communist party. She reported on his past five years in office saying the party had achieved miracles he also warned serious challenges ahead. Our country is at a Strategic Point in is development the future is extremely bright but the challenges are also extremely serious all Party Congress must assert their size and the high and the think of a danger in times of safety his address lasted three and a half hours if nothing else it showed that she now sixty four is healthy healthy enough to rule for another ten to fifteen years insists his supporters at one stage former president jiang zemin appeared to nod off he was chinas top leader twenty five years ago when i reported on the fourteenth Party Congress as china began to experiment with capitalism the new catch phrase is socialism with chinese characteristics in a new openness and economic anything seems to go anything that is political reform twenty five years on the faces behind me have changed but the backdrop remains pretty much the same and the prospects of political reform as remote now as it was then.

Adrian britain. Well u. S. President donald trump is facing more control over his handling of the deaths of four u. S. Soldiers in an ambush in earlier this month hes been forced to deny making insensitive remarks in a phone call to the widow of one of the men and White House Correspondent kelly how kate is following this story forrest and so kimberly the president has said that they reported account of what took place in the conversation is a fabrication what else has he been saying. Well he has spoken here at the white house in the last couple of hours as we say in the United States doubling down on those claims that accounts by a democratic congresswoman of the telephone call he made to the family widow of sergeant lead David Johnson are being fabricated i think we have to pull back from this for a second to recognize that one of the key roles of the u. S. President an unwritten rule is that you are the consoler in chief in times of grief particularly when it comes to the deaths of those who are killed on the battlefield or soldiers in this case as you point out a routine patrol an ambush were for Service Members were killed now in all of this the president has been criticized that his call to the widow was slow to come but now there is this spiraling debate thats devolved into a he said she said about the president s words specifically when its alleged he said that the victim the sergeant knew what he signed up for and when it happens it hurts the family of David Johnson saying that the president disrespected and honored his service and this is being echoed by the democratic congresswoman the president for his part says he never said that and in social media he says in fact he has proof so certainly there are a lot of questions about this conversation and also the president s conduct that gold star families those who are the families of Service Members that have been killed or kind of put on a special pedestal here in the United States who really its considered extremely poor taste to dishonor them in any way which is what many people the United States are alleging the president is doing with this ongoing back and forth and so then how much pressure does this put on President Trump if this scandal continues to grow. Oh theres an enormous amount of pressure since he offered up claims that there is proof that he did not say what this family and democratic congresswoman are alleging to supply that proof this is something that he intimated once and said very clearly on social media so in the Upcoming Press briefing with the press secretary there are bound to be repeated questions about when we will see this proof but also to their questions for more of a Foreign Policy standpoint why were these individuals working in a share an area that was particularly known for having some areas controlled by insurgent activity there going to be questions about why this routine patrol these Service Members were left vulnerable and then sort of an Armored Vehicle given the fact that there was known to be activity that was concerning so theyre going to be a lot of questions not just on the policy but also on the president s conduct thank you very much can really all good life for us at the white house watching out as there are much more to tell you about this whole spain sends an ultimatum to catalonia as leader of the regions plans to declare independence.
