Many thanks Dave the latest hello welcome to new state with Lawrence and Alex on the way we hear from the largest demonstrations in the Middle East since the Arab Spring that from Jordan the street protests there that of course the prime minister is also a big legal case expected to rule soon on rights for same sex marriage in the e.u. And the shooting of Kennedy 50 years ago brother Bobby Kennedy we'll hear from someone who was there plausible and business here on News Day. But we begin in Guatemala where an ever more grim picture is emerging from the area affected by the volcanic eruption of the weekend now if you look at the pictures online on television screens you see countryside completely covered in thick gray ash and also amazing pictures of a vast looming cloud of gray hanging over everything it's not until you hear from someone who's been there that you grasp the reality of the situation the ash that looks like snow is actually super hot scalding to the touch you can feel it through your boots whole areas are off limits and are still to be reached by the emergency services so the death toll which at the moment stands between 60 and 70 is we're told likely to rise Listen to this vivid picture by journalist Nina laconic she's been right up to the emergency service cordon around a village called San Miguel Los lot is which has been engulfed we should warn you that some of what she describes is pretty tough to listen to it's worth it though his Nina is just. Ash. But I thought you know everything. Is being you know way dad. And so I got to the final where I have probably never mind. Trying to evade I guess I mean what they. Need. Was that when they were going in to see the story have been completely filled to the top we've all kind of ash that was love that painting if today and in that sense a boiling hot ash when I lift off of the Jesse scene just explodes the building which is making it almost impossible for them to what anyone that was inside I have is is that all the 5 I said that there is no one coming out of there alive so basically what they're doing is they're looking for bodies rather than trying to find any survivors it sounds is pretty grim picture you paint absolutely no way I mean just imagine at the looking about maybe 6070 miles an hour. Molten lava just creaming that age you know it was just before midday in the fund that I know to a school inquest monitor people eat their mind meal divide between 12 was that people would have been at home I gave a to have lunch with them a fund that off to my. Wife I suppose me that whole family that I found in one had time to stay as one for children with that type that is killed in a one moving to have 2 bodies being taken that long with their child as one of the 5 that may just imagine the mean how will when to cook at the Sydney. Hour as well taking pieces of bodies because that being the integrated people seek stings and the people that manage to get away the people who are in the evacuee centers they were just away from the direct truck of the love of the dust where they said they were basically just lucky they know they've had a narrow escape Yeah I think of 2 to 5 of my people that if a baby see I'm not scared of people who have this guy that they want in their beliefs or they need to be there or. I and if I thought I was is really on the last plane off that the line at the volcano is so old as I said cement abounded Ok I said to the high there's no way anybody would meet I mean boy the whole lot of us yes boy or did I assume it was with me it had not been the type you know even if your best moment is 62 from the people I fight today and what I thought I would say with 500 people that in the days I was just in one today we just don't know what we don't know so no one's got any idea of knowing what's happened in the areas the still as you say volcanically halt Yeah that happened today but what we do know is that there was thousands of settlements all of that volcano. And anyone that was that I just don't see Had to this is by you know the one for the day it's because the whole molten just comes in pipes up by you know anyone who managed the bike that you're talking about and they've lost it and for the people that have managed to get away I mean the the evacuee centers have been organized in some way what sort of stories of a telling and how of the all sorts has managed to quickly look off to such a large influx of people I'd like to say that your focus being useless because I haven't because example Nesquik was in the past but I was able to shout given the simple pill didn't show the school but as a shelf in chat Well I would say it's been a huge hit. Yesterday for the president and managed to get on television sets a price. And say that he may he can see that. This isn't the bill would be my thing I said. And to the then be delivered they were collecting myths and you know the creepy and damp the street and wall to blanket clothes the citizens made people the government for money to says the people are giving money that many of them can barely afford to give that was Nina County journalist who is going back to the volcano affected area later today she was speaking to us at the end of her night yesterday. Protesters who triggered the resignation of Jordan's prime minister say they will continue their rallies until the government completely repeals its austerity measures Hani Morkie stood on Monday following 4 straight nights of demonstrations Our correspondent Mark Lowen is in the capital Amman and joins us on the line Mark will the protests continue despite the resignation of the prime minister was certainly judging from the mood there last night Alex it seems that they will continue I was in the center of Amman quite late overnight among a crowd of about 2000 protesters who were very spirited some of them were celebrating the resignation of the prime minister but others said that this doesn't go far enough they don't want to change of personnel but of policies policies that they believe are hitting the poorest hardest the fact that fuel has been hiked 5 times since the start of the year that the price of electricity has gone up by 55 percent since February that the subsidies are for bread have been scrapped and that there is this controversial draft bill to raise income tax on ordinary citizens by at least 5 percent and on businesses by at least 20 percent and they believe that these policies are unsustainable especially if Jordan's deep social and economic inequality are to be addressed but can the government actually afford to reverse these measures Well that's the bind that the government is in the it has got it is it is being given a $723000000.00 loan from the International Monetary Fund and of course these loans come with strings attached including reducing Jordan's deficit and so that is how why the austerity policies are being proposed in order to try to bring down the deficit and public debt but there is a feeling here that Jordan is really really pressured by the fact that it has over a 1000000 Syrian refugees this is a country that is extremely arid it faces chronic water shortages it has very few natural resources. And there is a feeling that really Jordan needs a deep rethink of how to be economically sustainable in the long term rather than kind of salami slicing left right and center in order to satisfy the i.m.f. Yes you mentioned the 650000 Syrian refugees on its soil if the government then faces a financial crisis this has the potential to get to boil over. It could get nasty here and that is what the concern is because Jordan is traditionally a pillar of stability in the Arab world it is a vital Western ally it is a country that was spared the chaos of the Arab Spring it is a country where the monarchy the king is a largely stabilizing influence and therefore nobody you know outside Jordan's borders certainly wants this country to descend into into massive unrest at the moment the process of fairly you know relatively small in number of 2 or 3000 per night but if this continues if there is a feeling that you know that that Jordan's economic hardship and economic inequality and not address it could it could build potentially the prime minister will be replaced he will be released been named the replacement has been named as a as the outgoing education minister although he's yet to accept it he's a popular choice but as I say unless there is a fundamental change to the actual policies themselves it looks like these protests couldn't see any mark learn in a month 16 minutes past the hour this is news day reminder of the top story the funerals which are being held the 1st victims of violent fall County corruption in Guatemala the b.b.c.

S.k. Hynix Samsung Electronics Maicon technology the 1st 2 they're both South Korean firms 3rd one of course a u.s. Firm and these are 3 of the biggest makers of chips in the world or dynamic random access memory chips these are the kinds of chips that you can smartphones in personal computers in tablets that the with the chips that allow you to do all the exciting things that you can do on those devices and those are essentially being imported massively into China $190190000000000.00 a year's worth of chips are either reported in China all manufactured by phone companies there and 90 percent of those are coming coming from abroad effectively and China has been trying to develop its domestic industry hasn't really managed to ramp it up in quite the way that it wants to and so. The Chinese offices of all 3 of these computer chip companies are being visited by China's state of ministration for market regulation the company say that they are being investigated they saying that they cooperating with the investigators they won't say what they're being investigated for so where does this come from there are a bunch of different things there is the trade dispute that clearly going on here need to eat not heats not ridiculous look at the situation with. China's 2nd largest mobile phone equipment maker which was slapped with their 7 year ban of being sold components by u.s. Companies. And say curious that a few weeks later one of the u.s. Chip makers is now facing the wrath of Chinese regulators on the other side of things here is Chris Southworth who is the secretary general for the International Chamber of Commerce there's a big sort of dialogue going on within the global tech community sort of 2 visions out there is this sort of a u.s. Vision free open internet and is the China vision which is a more can. Trold version of that and in these conversations around access the technology that's going on in all the international institutions around this whole area there is another factor though which is dram prices computer prices have been spiraling upwards over the course of the last couple of years and China wants to come down on those prices and of course going in through the front door and asking to see all sorts of papers and then saying please prices might work Philip thank you 21 minutes past not long ago on this program we're marking the anniversary of the assassination of Martin Luther King you may have heard as part of the coverage the extraordinary speech in tribute to the civil rights leader made by Senator Bobby Kennedy Well now just a few weeks later we're marking the anniversary of the assassination of Senator Bobby Kennedy himself June 1968 the moment of a major victory in his pursuit of the American presidency Kennedy was shot the B.B.C.'s James Naughtie now tells the story 50 years on with somebody who was there . By early June the Kennedy train was thundering down the line the California primary was the climactic encounter with what had seemed an unstoppable force among Democrats Eugene McCarthy is antiwar insurgency which in March had brought the curtain down on Lyndon Johnson's presidency I shall not see and I will not accept. The nomination of my party for another term as your president a season of tumult 4 days after that speech from the Oval Office Martin Luther King was shot dead the ghettos went up in flames Kennedy was in Indianapolis when he was told and he gave the news speaking impromptu to the huge black crowd waiting for him on the street what we need in the United States is not violence and lawlessness but is love and wisdom and compassion toward one another feeling that justice toward those who still suffer within our country whether they be white whether they be black that was the emotional force that propelled the California campaign the prowl You'd to the nominating convention in Chicago the following month just after midnight on June the 5th he knew that he had won the primary and he spoke to supporters in the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles last night thanks to all of you and now it's on to Chicago and I thought when I was his last public words I've been speaking to the photographer how to Benson now 89 who was in the thick of that crowd they're all dancing and singing and sock it to. Everyone is very happy now I'm thinking how do you hear in this crowd of getting closer to Bobby and I'll follow him out into the kitchen I turn to my left mommy was going to resume a girl screamed that there were shots and pandemonium I knew I knew this is it. Turn around and be. Just about to hit the floor. Then all hell broke loose was he was. Screaming no doubtless. Mean No I gan was in that hotel was Alastair Cook you Kennedy well and who described it memorably in his Letter from America down on the greasy floor was a huddle of clothes and staring out of it the face of Bobby Kennedy like the stone face of a child lying on a cathedral tomb I saw it was a bad wound in the wind just like the coming out of the bank of me and I said to myself this is it this is what I mean business. So I get in top of the hot plate and then looking down on them. I was no more than 2 feet from maybe close and.
