Clashes in the hospital weeks and this is the major approach taken by the beijing government that theyre trying to condemn the foulness and theyre trying to emphasize the Economic Impact brought by the protests a week after weeks and thats why there is no sign so far for beijing governments to make any compromise. To 50 miles of the protesters and the holocaust it is and was so we can see that in the foreseeable future at that point to to continue and proceed with this approach and to suppress the post has this by addressing the post has this and making use Alcohol Companies forced to alberta suppress the protests and the rallies happening in home t.

Nor mike has in the us a calling for answers following the death in prison of disgraced financier geoffrey abstain has been widespread skepticism as how as to how he could have taken his own life in a high Security Federal prison just wakes after an apparent previous Suicide Attempt if the eyes now in face investigating his death. He had already been found injured in a cell a few weeks ago then the multimillionaire was found dead in the new york jail where he was awaiting trial an apparent suicide. The convicted pedophile was facing up to 45 years behind bars on sex trafficking and conspiracy charges. Epstein a high powered investor was accused of having sexually abused girls as young as 14 at parties in his palm beach villa where he reportedly passed the girls on to his guests what made the case explosive was the few notes he has connections to public figures including British RoyalPrince Andrew former u. S. President bill clinton as well as the sitting President Donald Trump charges were already brought against him in 2008 a controversial plea deal spared him time in prison. If i wasnt afraid to come forward sooner than maybe he would have done it to all the girls i feel really guilty to list. A conviction for epstein could have meant the rest of his life in prison now many questions remain will the authorities further investigate the 6 trafficking allegations and will possible accomplices be held to account. And as weve just heard questions have been mounting since the death about the future of the investigation and about the circumstances surrounding abstains death put a calm as man has been looking into that call hi thanks for joining me so what more can you tell us about the investigation and what might happen now in these questions about the future of the investigation what we know now is that his death his apparent suicide does not prevent this investigation from Going Forward and officials are are promising that they will continue to look into it in fact one of the attorneys thats involved in the case said yesterday that epstein was facing a conspiracy charge so that means that there could potentially be other people involved in these alleged crimes that means others could still be charged maybe for legs alleged sex trafficking for helping to recruit these under underage girls into his his ring of influence. We continue to find more alleged victims as well what many want to know is will this investigation lead to the indictment of any of these kind of big name figures that we know were were involved with epstein that knew him that would travel on his private planes for example as we saw in the piece it extends from fashion to business always politics even president s and ex president s weed so the Legal Process it will continue this investigation will continue but of course it will be without the potential testimony of Jeffrey Epstein that could have been crucial and very useful if he had testified maybe in some kind of deal with prosecutors that could have led to more evidence against other people that may have been involved and given that people could be interconnected and thats really led to a lot of conspiracy theories surrounding this unfortunately thats right and you know this suicide has really angered a lot of people from the prosecutors involved here the victims the victims families all the way up to the attorney general william barr even the f. B. I. Taking the rare step now of launching an investigation into this alleged suicide and so the circumstances surrounding it people really want to know what happened here i mean theres a few questions why did the jail take him off of suicide watch for example he had some marks around his neck a couple of weeks earlier that could have indicated a potential Suicide Attempts how was this allowed to happen by the jail itself i mean this is a jail thats used to housing high profile suspects from paul mann afford to is currently in this jail. The the very high profile mexican criminal he was held there as well while he was awaiting his trial so this is a place that thats used to so housing high profile suspects its something that does make it seem a bit suspicious unfortunately as you mentioned while fear is now surrounding the death of epstein including some being tweeted by the president himself and we saw this on the u. S. President Donald Trumps twitter account and here he is retreating a rumor about the death saying that epstein had information on bill clinton and now hes dead so essentially trying to link former. President bill clinton who did in fact know epstein but has denied any other connection to him too to this death so theres no evidence of that and this is coming from a comedian whos also a trump supporter but you know weve seen the president reach weeding and kind of peddling and conspiracy theories before what about the alleged victims here i mean they must be really disappointed that this case is not going to go as planned get disappointed i think is one word to put i mean this is the 2nd time now that epsteins victims alleged victims will not get their day in court and thats what many of them want to mean as we heard charges were filed in 2008 in florida that led to a plea deal so there was no trial no chance for any testimony or for the for the women involved here to have their say one accuser now who says she was raped by obscene while she was in high school she had this statement following his suicide she said we have to live with the scars of his actions for the rest of our lives while he will never face the consequences of the crimes that he committed. Thanks very much for that update. What im olens on going to the polls today to vote in a president ial Runoff Election center left candidate sandra taurus is a former 1st lady she used to be married to president of our o. Comb a preelection polls suggest conservative on a 180 as better chances of becoming president turn out for the 1st round of voting was poor and it appears that neither of the 2 main candidates is especially popular with bushs whoever wins will face a major challenge and the country has agreed with washington to act as a buffer against a link illegal immigration to the u. S. In a country plagued by poverty crime and unemployment the president ial election pits the conservative candidate a 100 giamatti against former 1st lady sandra taurus she has a narrow lead over his left wing opponent a former head of the prison system he favors reinstating the Death Penalty and has been campaigning on a tough law and order message the old stage horse and i have a message to all those brutal extortionists when i am president you are finished. Buying you and throw you in jail. Tauruses weighed down by allegations of corruption the entrepreneur has promised voters to tackle poverty almost 60 percent of guatemalans live below the poverty line. And look at ghetto is good but i want the country to develop so that people here dont have to migrate to the us. In the migration is the key theme of the selection much like the electorate the candidates are united in their rejection of a deal struck with the u. S. That will require migrants transiting through guatemala to claim asylum in the Central American country. Idea or in this deal with further increase unemployment and create a boomerang effect for drama this would mean more migration in. The next president is faced with the challenge of turning guatemala into a country that its people will not want to leave. And just a reminder of the top story were following for you.
