After years of fake news. Fox group announces has cancel Lou Dobbs Tonight from his Fox Business Channel. The reason is a defamation lawsuit filed by the voting machine maker Smartmatic.

Fox, which denies the allegations, said the Dobbs decision was not linked.

The lawsuit filed by Smartmatic includes other Fox anchors like Maria Bartiromo and Jeanine Pirro.

The company accused the group of intentionally repeating the false claim that it was “responsible for stealing” the election by “switching and altering votes to rig” the election for Joe Biden.

Smartmatic claims Dobbs was “one of the primary proponents and speakers for the disinformation campaign”.

Fox said on Thursday the network was “proud of our 2020 election coverage and will vigorously defend this meritless lawsuit in court”.

Legal experts say the lawsuit has put enormous pressure on Fox.

Conclusion: More problems for Rupert Murdoch.

Today, UK’ Building Magazine reports British government start talks with China state-run railway constructor to build a HS2 which were approved by Downing Street yesterday. However, government officials said no “concrete commitments” had been made. According with Building Magazine, CRCC said in letter it builds the high speed line in just 5 years at costs of 62 billion pounds.

This week, Prime Minister Boris Johnson has approved a limited role to chinese tech giant Huawei to build its 5G network at the same time to decide to go ahead with HS2 which connects railwat system between North of England and London to help a economic development of England to balance shift among this regions on next years.

The previous budget to HS2 is 100 billion pounds for 15 years of construction between 2020 to 2035. It were criticised by MPs to handover control from Brussels to Beijing saying Conservative MP Tom Tugendhat in interview to BBC Radio Four’ Today Programme.

He said the UK was in “dire need” of a strategy around its relationship with China.

“Have we decided to take back control from Brussels only to hand it over to Beijing?” he said

He added that projects in China are often completed quickly “because they don’t worry about such minor matters as planning consent or workers’ rights”.

The CRCC letter, also been seen by the Financial Times, states: “We are certain that we can offer a cost that is significantly lower than the projections we have seen.

“The advantages are too great, in our opinion, too great to dismiss on the basis that there are obstacles to overcome.

“You will find that the Chinese way is to seek solutions, not linger on obstacles and difficulties.”

It build most of all 15.500 mile high speed railways in China in less than 20 years.

Supporters of HS2 say it will improve transport times, increase capacity, create jobs and rebalance the UK’s economy.

Once it is built, journeys will be shorter. London to Birmingham travel times will be cut from one hour, 21 minutes to 52 minutes, according to the Department for Transport.

And while it is being built, it is expected to create thousands of jobs and provide a stimulus to economic growth.

A Department for Transport official said: “The DfT is always keen to learn from the experience of others and to consider approaches that offer value for money to the taxpayer.”

Britain needs a HS2 and China offer their expertise on the matter. The talks is coming.

China faces of outbreak of coronavirus. But the main concern is president Xi Jimping. He isn’t appear in public since last month. It’s was discovered for article made by New York Times newspaper on its edition today. The rumours of Xi has a stroke still fresh. His ausence on the edge of this heath crisis shows the main problem for Chinese communist party.

The death of Chairman Mao in 1976 has changed the rules of Communist Party leadership. These changes was made by late leader Deng Xiaoping such as a two-term presidentialship and an indication of new leader on outgoing politiburo during a Communist party Congress in five years time. Xi has changed it to keep in a row for a lifetime.

Xi has fight against corruption inside communist party such as Bo Xilai’ scandal in 2012. The stronger leadership push by economical reforms to change Chinese capitalism allows him to change the leadership rules and abolish the two-term rule imposed by Deng Xiaoping in 1982. Otherwise, he introduces his thoughts into chinese constitution in 2018.

China never seen a powerful leader as Xi for decades. Former leaders like Jiang Zemin and Hu Jintao has obey the rules. Jimping has change that in cause to recovery the faith on Communist Party has lost on behalf of population despite troubles of human rights like Re-education camps on Xinjiang Province and the current outbreak of coronavirus in Hubei province.

The Communist Party don’t response the article made by New York Times. The focus on solve the outbreak of Coronavirus still on the priorities. The ausence of Xi Jimping don’t have comments on Chinese social medias like Wechat and Weibo in cause of heavy censorship made by government. The next days has pay attention to the world on China’ politics.
