I think maybe worries the Army Generals the sentiment that is associated with the term cool that they dont want people to panic they dont want people to be afraid they dont want to destabilize the situation so i can understand why they would choose that language but effectively if we just go by the textbook definition then or if if we want to be particular then we might call this guardian coup and weve seen quite varying degrees of ten out from guardian coups so between one thousand forty five and one thousand nine hundred believe only seven percent of guardian coups actually transition to democracy but since then weve seen an increased rate is thirty four percent of guardian whos transitioning to a stable democracy is so if zimbabwe is likely then this guardian who could actually lead to a democratic transition but it in it is indeed a cool weve just seen this evening one of the youth Party Leaders the one who gave what i think.

C. Well the speech eventually turned out to be a score card of President Trumps asian visit one in which not unexpectedly he gave himself the highest possible marks he spoke of the many deals he was doing he spoke of the greater respect being established for the United States he spoke of the need for the u. S. To put itself first in any future trade negotiations and he also did to discuss the issue of north korea obviously of great concern to the region he did make a speech in south korea vitriolically attacking north korea but this is what he had to say i made clear that we will not allow this twisted dictatorship to hold the world hostage to nuclear blackmail i called on every nation including china and russia to unite in isolating the north korean regime cutting off all ties of trade incomers until it stops its dangerous provoking on and this is the tall key to what were doing on d. Nuclearize ation but also in his speech President Trump sharply attacked previous administrations he played them for the policies trade situation that he says the u. S. Now finds itself in including the eight billion dollar trade deficit that it has with countries like china he said that experience administrations and were naive in some cases mistaken in other cases and even he said corrupt in some cases well this is a very strong criticism from a sitting president very rare for a president to criticize his predecessors in quite the way in which President Trump did. Cambodia Supreme Court is meeting to decide whether the Main Opposition Party which Prime Minister hun sen accuses of trying to mount a coup well this is the scene outside the courthouse in phnom penh where Security Forces have been deployed the Cambodian National rescue party says it expects to be banned or roma right joins us live now from the capital phnom penh rob so were still waiting on this Court Verdict whats the background to this case. There is still a quiet tension here in phnom penh this morning we are expecting williss yet to come through at any time the Supreme Court is already sitting there in the Supreme Court building which is behind this Police Cordon the whole of the central part of phnom penh has been sealed off by the security personnel here and it all stems from the arrest two months ago of kemp who is the Opposition Leader allegedly for plotting to overthrow the government and its all based on a video recording of a meeting that they had with supporters overseas where apparently he spoke about replacing the ruling party with his own party with the help he said of advisers and friends from the United States now according to the Opposition Party this is normal Democratic Politics at work according to the ruling party this is tantamount to treason hence the case today which gives them the grounds potentially for dissolving the Opposition Party now critics argue that this is a blatant use of the judiciary of the courts to curb Political Freedoms and democracy here the government says this is nothing of the kind this is merely an independent judiciary at work but its worth bearing in mind aaron that one of the senior judges on this panel is in deed a long term friend of the Prime Minister hun sen under a leading member of the ruling c. C. P. Party and rob the Cambodian National rescue party said it expects to be banned so watch then next move and how is this being viewed across the country as a whole. It remains to be see this is a hugely Popular Party it nearly unseated the ruling party at the last election it has Something Like three million supporters across the country so the Immediate Response will be interesting to gauge whether there will in fact be protests on the streets now there have been protests in the past cambodia is used to having political protests it has to be said in the last year or so with this increasingly toxic political atmosphere it is a very dangerous thing to do to go and take to the streets in protest if you go out and you start supporting a party which is accused of treason you yourself it seems could be guilty of insurrection these protests have a habit of turning violent so people are very concerned about taking two to the streets what will probably happen is the sitting m. P. s of the Opposition Party if theyre banned they will lose their seats that will be distributed to smaller parties and according to some political observers here its all part of a process by sand to try to wear down the opposition that goes into crucial elections next year not facing one major party but a number of smaller parties that he can indeed defeat and he has said hes intent on the remaining Prime Minister hes been in the job of Prime Minister now for nearly three decades and could remain there for a further ten years he says all right to robert ride them phnom penh rob thank you.

Hello proper weather is chucky in natch the plains states and this is the picture as seen by satellite and thats the area to watch surprise me for the most active weather is to little system save in the area of low pressure is the telling when theres obviously something still very active around washington where of course have been damaging winds but from the point of view of whats in the sky its rain or snow running through the great lakes and Eastern Canada for the next twenty four hours following that sun comes our story five in chicago and fifteen in washington still though rattling through from washington down to california saw there can be snow or rain depending on your elevation and the snow in parts will get that as fossils as colorado next. That is a big gap and because of that push of colder air were now returning the active cloud bank from the west to the east so a line from haiti through cuber in jamaica down to was panama looks particularly wet and this could be the panamanian and i think with substantial rain to fall but haiti has had its fair share and i think is more for you coming as well with occasional showers likely most likely i think down in jamaica for south america the active frontal system is moving up to brazil and breaking up again but a new one is forming in the just the north. In ingenious developments in the battle against illegal deforestation these are basically old cell phones the people sent to us with love and trees it was in the forest and you can make everything look like chainsaws or gunshots and in australia indigenous practices and being used to fight fire with fire if a lack of fire like theyre in a can of fire right about the time that point if i get scared just stop yeah innovation and tradition thats right at this time.

By scientists at the forefront of measuring and monitoring these glaciers its important and dangerous work their office for today is glassy or do talk and three thousand five hundred meters high on the north face of mont blanc we tried to set up. Our instrument in order to make. Measurements up to this glacier these scientists also measure the temperature of the glazier what they are finding is astounding the base of the glacier need the bedrock is it minus two degrees in the first with a climate warming and with the ice damper rising the glacier could become temperate at the melting point the work these scientists doing on this mountain and braces like attack is important not just to understand how much more this glacier will heat up but because it has a bearing on towns like chamonix down here which is one of the most recognized extreme Sports Centers in the world if this glacier heats up. It could threaten villages like chamonix as we filmed the glacier begin to break away not once but three times within an hour further evidence of the danger it presents almost eighteen Million People visit the french alps every year generating close to fifty eight billion dollars in turnover and providing around twelve percent of jobs under this graph we can see directly an increase of thing things nineteen eighty and a north or increase of two thousand and three and this melting this increase of melting is directly related to Climate Change to climate warming at one of the worlds oldest scientific ice institutions the research allows the scientist to mitigate risk with Global Warming and the fact that the strings and gets warmer they could be new legs forming and these lakes could collapse and then produce fruits destroying towns can sleep on this bedrock and then again can create our own trees and destroy towns below that the institute says these sorts of events are not isolated Research ShowsClimate Change is causing glacier melt and water shortages in the n.
