this is al jazeera welcome. you're watching the al jazeera news hour. the top stories. south africa's highest court finds the president violated the constitution after he used state money to renovate his home. one of the longest running trials in the hague comes to the ends after the acquittal of a serbian politician. a construction under way of built collapses in india.

>> reporter: india takes on the west indies. already in the fibl are england after their young team demolished new zealand in delh . south africa's highest court found the president violated the constitution. the president spent 16 million dollars refurbishing his president. the national assembly breached the constitution when it tried to exonerate the president. we go to our correspondent. does he have to pay the money back? >> reporter: he most certainly does. that has been the catch call of opposition parties for almost two years now. pay back the money. those chants ringing out throughout parliament multiple times, multiple marches through

the streets. finally it seems those demands will be met. the constitutional court behind me, 11 constitutional court judges finding unanimously that he must pay back a portion of the money, tax payer's money paid on upgrading his home with a theater and swimming pool. your reaction? >> today is an individual indication. it is a celebration for the-- vindication. it says the court has ruled to say they have rained. no leader can be above the law. the powers of the public protector must be effected. he has acted outside of the law. there can be no damning report and the judgment is something that we welcome.

it is a battle we fought. we think we have been vindicated all the way along >> reporter: what are you going to do now? >> we have tabled a motion to impeach him. you can't have the constitution and zuma in the same sentence. what we are saying today is that the members of parliament must come together to say we must support the constitution, we must uphold this judgment and the president is not fit to be the president of the republic and then the people must remove the party of his because the party is grand captured the state in defrauding the people of south africa of money. >> reporter: it makes a gooded had line. impeaching him requires two-thirds of the national assembly. you don't have that >> it requires members of the nc read this judgment. they are in the process of the ad hoc committee. they acted outside the law.

it is about them recognising if they hold true to their oath, that says we defend our constitution, they must stand true to them. he is a president who can't do that. >> reporter: if that doesn't happen, what do you want to see voluntariers to do in the local elections? >> voters must realise that their biggest notion of no confidence is about voting. this has been captured of a leader surrounded by his own people to defraud the people of south africa. it's time to vote for change. we're a party that has a service delivery record. we have no acts of corruption against us. we stand for south africa, regardless of race and we want to take it forward. i believe south africans will turn out and vote for change. >> reporter: one of the parties that took this constitutional court action.

thank you for joining us his political career has been marred by many things. in 205 the then president fired him as his deputy over allegations of fraud relating a multi billion dollars arms deal. in october of the same year he was charged after his financial adviser was convicted of fraud and corruption. zuma was charged with rape two months later but was acquitted in april 2006. in september of that year the corruption case against him collapsed. he was elected president of the ruling anc in december 2007. in 2009 he became the president of south africa. in 2014 he was accused of paying for the repur fishment. at the end of 2015 his currency went into a tail spin after he appointed two different finance ministers in the space of one

week. our editor at large joins us now. what's the main implication of what we've seen unfolding in the past two or three hours? >> it is a massive day here because what you have here has had thus far is arrogant p governing party and president zuma who felt untouchable. throughout this saga and through scandals he has faced, he has protected himself using the majority of the ac and they've flown against all calls. now what this has done, it has said the highest court in the land has laid the mark saying that the institutions of accountability are powering, they are strong, they are binding, and the importance of it as well is that it comes in the midst of a great onslaught on the president right now from

all quarters, including within the ac. relating to what people perceive to be a corrupt relationship he has with a very powerful business family in the country. it is coming at an important time. it is a mark in terms of south africa's stand on corruption what do you think this will do to the anc support base? they have been popular for so long. however, you used the word corruption there. obviously we've got to be careful about what we say here. people in government are not corrupt by association, but his critics would say there is a culture that needs to be investigated and properly questioned. >> yes. the thing with zuma before he became president he was compromised. before he came into power his financial adviser and close friend had already been

convicted of fraud and corruption relating to a relationship that he had with zuma. he himself was charged with corruption and that was over turned by the anc using the prosecuting authority. since coming into power he has associated himself with the business people. what happened was before he came to power a lot of people warned that should he become president he will set the wrong tone for the country, that the country will go down this corrupt route and those predictions proved true. he was able to maintain his power because the anc is so powerful. what we have seen happening to the country is that in the eight years or so that he has been in power, corruption has taken root, a culture of corruption has tuna root in the country and it has gone from national to provincial and to the government level. there are a lot of mafias

running things there. people have started to see this now and basically now it is going to start costing them votes, they are apprehensive of the elections i do have to move on now, but thank you so much for your time. a bridge collapsed in eastern india has killed ten people. these are live pictures from the scene. many people are feared to be trapped beneath the rubble you're looking at right now rescue teams an firefighters are at that scene. we will bring in our correspondent as well. what's the latest information you have for us? >> reporter: as you said there, many people are feared trapped under that bridge.

this bridge, a long stretch between two columns collapsed. it has happened in a very busy area where there are commercial and residential buildings. many people pass through this area. there's a metro station nearby and market nearby. the area should have been cordoned off, as all construction sites should be due to health and safety measures, but locals say there were no barricades. they say they passed through it quite freely. in fact, vehicles were parked underneath it. the fear is that there are people under those vehicles who are trapped under the debris. heavy machinery is needed to lift the iron and concrete structures. the army has arrived to help with the search and rescue mission. this bridge has been under contention. it started six years ago and it has been delayed time and time again. builders were under pressure to

finish it off quickly. it is a political issue. the chief minister is there. politicians are now pointing fingers at each other and playing the blame game saying corruption and mismanagement was responsible for this we're looking at the live pictures. it does look like a quiet scene of almost chaos. we've seen the reports saying that local people are there throwing blankets down to either the rescuers or the people who are partially trapped underneath that rubble. when it comes to this kind of big almost landmark construction project in india, what is the safety record like? >> reporter: that's a good question and is varies from place to place, but with particularly big infrastructure like this which, once again, has been delayed and delayed and several governments had over seen it, the safety record usually is quite sketchy and

also what is coming into question is the search and rescue mission wherefor for search and rescues like this, you need heavy machinery and coordinated rescue effort which is why a lot of the locals are helping out, are being part of the mission until they can get that in motion. there are many questions being asked. locals are objected to the bridge being built there, saying it was too close to residential areas, but it went ahead. it had been stopped time and time again. now this has happened. many questions are being raised about why it has happened, who is behind it and now what's going to be done about it many thanks. onto another story that is still moving as we're on air. a tribunal he hague has found a serbian leader is not guilty of

war crimes. he was not in court to hear the judgment. he returned to belgrade in 2014 for cancer treatment. the leader of libya's new unity government says he wants to work towards national reconciliation. the prime minister and his u.n.-backed government has defied threats of violence to return. the area has been unstable since 2011. since 2014 it has two competing administrations, one in tripoli backed by powerful militias and the other in tobruk. the prime minister has promised to work for all libyans. >> translation: what everyone supports we will create state with institutions and laws and participation with all libyans who will work for a ceasefire and end the bloodshed across libya and unify all efforts to confront the dangers of i.s.i.l. more on that story for you

here, director of the institute. who was it that took the decision for the events that are being unfolding? >> i think that is going to be a negotiation between the president, the other deputies that joined him in the cabinet but also from the u.n. i think with in, it is a discussion that has been going on for 19 months. the promise has been there since september 2015. the question of arriving in tripoli has avoided the first disaster that could have been bullets flying, and that has been avoided so far, but there is a significant amount of challenges going forward and i think the nature of whether or not they will come to function as a government is still on the question of whether or not they

can decide amongst themselvess, there is eight deputies to the president and they all have various amounts of power, almost as much as the president himself. a cabinet of nine presidents is going to be difficult to function. so whether or not that functions or whether it usurps the two other governments in the country between east and west will be a difficult question to answer challenges and questions, obviously, but as to this new government who precisely does this new government actually represent? >> reporter: it's difficult to accurately represent anybody today. there are virus militias that act on behalf of different tribes and different regions. there is no cohesive accurate mechanism for engage-- gauging these organizations actually represent anybody.

this is not an elected government. it has come around through negotiations, but it is not a government that has achieved what it set out to achieve 19 months ago that it would collapse the civil war that has been here since 2014. that is not the case. the war continues. the operations in libya still continue and the two governments that they were supposed to negotiate between and find a recalibration, find a middle ground that could represent both halfs and settle the dispute has not happened. who does it represent? the same amount as everybody else. it doesn't represent anybody. it is a very difficult question. the need for elections, there is a desperate need for a mechanism that is representative of people, but that which goes forward you're talking about 19

months ago, so the events of late 2014-ish. if you were in tripoli at that point and you were a loyalist, there was a feeling coming out of tripoli saying you're either for us or against us. so that situation is not settled. if that situation is not settled and this putting together of different heads of state almost, because that's what they want to be, if that cannot organise itself, where does that leave the militia. i'm thinking here about the libyan dawn militia, particularly that off shoot, that coming together of individual groupings. >> that's a broken coalition. it's a coalition that existed at a certain time as you said in mid to late 2014 but one that means less today because as these new governments emerge, as the developments on the ground happen and as the ability for each government be able to pay these, to sustain activity, make and keep promises happening, it

falls short and they move elsewhere. the big difference today is that we need to establish the rules of the game. that concerns operation and dignity. what i mean is you have these two competing narratives. are we fighting for survival or win revolution or for power. within these groups, within these militias, you will people fighting for survival and power. you have to able to achieve or agree upon a coherent set of rules, that is we believe in the ballot box, we believe in the rule of law, we believe in human rights and the ability for political groups to fight for their existence but also confess pour, that you see power safely. unless those rules are agreed upon it's going to be chaotic. it will be shifting and moving. the government will never see

power safely, securely or without the threat of someone else breathing down their neck. that's the case with three government. it could be the case with a fourth or fifth, without those rules it's very little chance for sustainable or functional peace thank you for that. lots more stories till to come for you, including brazil's embattled president has accused her opponents of plotting a coup against her. colombia ends closer to ending 50 years of political violence. also the sports coming up many of the 50,000 refugees stranded in greece have become separated from family members who were able to take the migrant trail before the border was closed.

our correspondent reports from idomeni in northern greece >> reporter: day 33 and waiting. living out in the open just a few hundred metres from a border that is separating them from their families. this man is from the syrian city of harmeshi. he was on his way to germany when the route closed >> translation: we all made this route because we thought we could. we sold everything we owned. they can't do this to us >> reporter: this woman hasn't seen her husband and children in four months. she was left behind when she was arrested before she managed to get on the boat. now all she has are the pictures of her family in a refugee center in germany. >> translation: i die over day she says and she has little hope of being reunited with them any time soon. many of the 50,000 people stranded in greece share hay similar story. they arrived weeks ago only to

find a different europe. europe's response to the refugee crisis has been criticized. the u.n. says erecting fences are not the answer. people are hopeful that policy will change, even though they have been told by the authorities the borders will not open. their only options now are to apply for asylum on in greece or apply to the e.u.'s relocation program which has accepted only a few hundred applications in the past six months. for some time it is not on their side. in have this man has been here for a month. he says his family lives through conflict and he struggled to find work to feed his family. he finds himself in an even more difficult situation. >> translation: my wife and her younger brother arrived in germany. she is alone now and she has council. i just want to be with her >> reporter: he is worried that it will take months before

migration officials look into his case. that is why he is sharing his story on the plastic sheets of his new home in the hope that those who are to decide his future may be aware of his situation. and possibly make an exception brazil's president has again accused her opponents of plotting a coup against her. dilma rousseff is facing impeachment after accused of manipulating the budget to hide the extent of the country's recession. >> reporter: brazilian president is fighting for her political survival. less than 24 hours after the biggest political party in brazil pulled out of her ruling coalition, she held and event here at the presidential palace where she unveiled housing projects for the poor. she used the opportunity to push back forcefully against her critics and left in no uncertain term how she feels about the

impeachment process being waged against her >> translation: impeachment without proof of crime of responsibility is what? it's a coup. this is the issue. there is no point pretending that we're discussing a hypothetical impeachment. we're discussing a very concrete impeachment without crime of responsibility. there is no point in discussing whether impeachment is or is not written in the constitution. it is. but what is not written is that without crime and responsibility, impeachment can be passed legally and legitimately. the name of that is coup. >> reporter: here at congress a special economy continues the impeachment hearings. they're expecting to conclude their work by the second week of april. as for dilma rousseff, her popularity is plummeting. 69% of brazilian disapprove of the job she is doing. on thursday more protests are planned in a country that is divided as ever and a president trying desperately to hold on to

her job in colombia the government and the second biggest rebel group have announced the beginning of peace talk. the eln will follow on from the farc tanned participate in talks. >> reporter: it was the missing piece in colombia's quest to end the fifty-year old civil conflict. finally the eln agreed to start formal peace negotiations with the government. >> translation: they have agreed to open a public negotiating table to address the points on the agenda in order to reach a final agreement to end the armed conflict and agree to transformations in search of a peaceful and equitable colombia. >> reporter: the announcement was made in venezuela's capital where the sides have been meeting in exploratory talks since 2014. under the deal the public negotiations will take place in

ecuador but some sessions will be held in brazil, chile, cuba and venezuela. >> translation: the action plan will involve mechanisms of control, monitoring and verify kigs that will involve the participation of society, the international community, the government and the national liberation army. >> reporter: the two sides agreed to a broad six point agenda that will deal with issues like peace construction and the right to victims. the focus will be on public participation to define the most needed reforms in the regions affected by the conflict. some points will converge with the ongoing peace talks between the government and the biggest rebel group, the farc. they have been underway in havana and now in the final stretch. founded by a radical catholic priest in 1964 the eln is a smaller group than the farc but it has proved resilient and able

to inflict damage. in a speech, the president said that bringing the e flchlt to the negotiating table was par mound. >> translation: it will be the end of the groups and we can all concentrate on making the country the free, normal modern and inclusive place it can and should be. >> reporter: at this point it is still unclear when the negotiations will begin in earnest. the government wants the eln to release any hostages they're still holding before agreeing to a date. what is clear, though, is that this announcement means the country took another important step to a definitive and sustainable peace the antarctic's ice may be melting faster than previously believed. studies show that sea rise could

double than the current estimate by the end of the century. the prediction was to be significantly lower. from the frozen stuff to the wet stuff. we're talking about wet stuff here? >> reporter: i know. it has been raining a lot in march and that is set to continue. let's see what is happening over us. you can see all this cloud over many parts here, also across in part of iran as well. we're all upped the cloud at the moment. we've seen a few spots here. it looks like that rain is going to turn heavier as we head through the next few hours. the wetter weather is in the western parts of saudi arabia but this whole system is slipping away towards the south. as it crosses us we are going to see some fairly heavy rain during the night and then gradually it will push its way towards the u.a.e. there. it's still going to be an over hang of cloud behind it. do expect it to be grey here in doha at times on friday with a

chance of a few more spots of rain. always the wettest will be in the western parts of saudi arabia and that's where we could see up to 100 millimeters of rain falling just in the next couple of days. that is easily enough here to give us a major problem with flooding. this system then continues its journey a little bit further southwards there at we head through saturday and on saturday it will begin to break up. by saturday the worst is over. it does extend further north. you can see it has crossed in cab um. it will turn heavier for friday and saturday as the tremps drop off as well -- temperatures drop off we will tell you why a multi million dollar deal to take refugees unwanted by australia has failed. in sport, after a year of scandal, f.i.f.a.'s new president continues the charm offensive. offensive.

you're watching the news hour from al jazeera here in doha. top stories. south africa's main opposition party has called for the acn party to impeach the president after he was found to have violated the constitution. the international criminal court for the former yugoslavia has acquitted a serbian leader against commit war crimes in the 1990s. a bridge has collapsed in eastern india and has killed at

least ten people. more than 150 were injured. many people are believed to be under the rubble security officials in china have released the family members of two dissidents living abroad. they were on the hunt for the author of a letter calling on president xi jinping being resigned. >> reporter: for nearly a week this man a chinese blogger and government critic was worried about what he had put his family through. he lives in the u.s. out of reach of security officials in china, but his relatives back home were not. >> translation: i didn't expect the officials to pressure me this way. i was shocked when i heard the police had taken three of my family members. >> reporter: authorities held his parents and brother for nine days because they suspected him of having something to do with an anonymous letter calling for the president to step down. the letter published on line in

early may criticized president xi jinping's authoritarian style of leadership and accused him of cultivating a cult of personality. since then the government has launched a hunt for those suspected of writing or circulating the letter. the numbers are difficult to verify, but it is thought that security officials picked up at least 11 people in connection with the investigation. some have been released but others, including staff from a website on which the letter was posted, are still missing. in recent years the crackdown of dissidents and critics has intensified. in one of the more high profile cases five people linked to a publishing house in hong kong disappeared. there were protests over fears they were abducted. they later reand on television in china. some making confessions or statements that activists say were likely coerced. >> translation: what the foreign media see is only a small number of these cases.

there are so many activists that disappear in silence. they're assistanced for 15 years, 19 years and nobody knows. >> reporter: back in the u.s. he says he feels safer living abroad. >> translation: my criticism of the government and its policies led to my family members' disappearance, but i will not give up my work. >> reporter: he knows, though, that his family could be targeted again and that worries him going back to one of our top stories. the leader of libya's new unit go yovt says he wants to work towards national kon sillation. joining us on the program is the special representative of the u.n. secretary general in libya. he is on the line. welcome to al jazeera, sir. why was the decision taken to do this in the way it is being done? you couldn't go across the land, so to bring people in by boat,

somebody might say that would compromise their safety straight off. >> well, this is not a u.n. decision here. it is a decision of the libyan politics dialogue. they themselves took this decision. the area was dropped and they are now in tripoli. this is agreement that the government takes up its duties in the capital and now the president council is there you may have a clear road map where you are, but you might be putting the cart before the horse because in terms of how the government will operate, there's little clarity on that and in terms of how it will have to engage with the militias on the ground in some way, shape or form, there's no obvious way forward on that aspect either. >> the most important thing is that the majority of the people

of libya is in favor for this for the government to deliver services. all people have to have the goods to buying bread. this is not a good situation in a wealthy country like libya. it is a shame. that's why i think the majority of the situation are well coming the president in tripoli and want the government to start working on improving the living condition that conversation isn't taking place or that desire from the people if it is being fed back to the people who would be politicians who would run the country, what those people ordinary people on the ground wanted and what they're saying, that's not getting tracks at the moment-- traction at the moment. >> i'm going on with my tour in istanbul. i urge everybody to accept this

process, to listen to the voices of the people who want to help, who do not want to line-up in front of banks, who want to send their children to schools and to go to hospitals. there is no medicine in the hospitals. i say to rally behind this government and to let them work for the people one might say what is going on, particularly when it comes to the aspirational politicians in libya is this, the relationship between them, between each of them and arguably three aspirational governments now, not two, is getting more granular not less and you need it to be going the other way. if that assumption is correct, what are you doing to simplify what's going on, on the ground, fwaus would appear to me it's getting more complex not less. >> there has been two rival governments and now there are three. i would say there are four.

are two in tripoli because they do not deserve the name of government because they do not provide services to the people. they are not doing this. the third government is the government of national accord. it is on paper. the fourth is the fourth of d.a.e.s.h. unfortunately, this is in regards of a government which has to cease to exist and terrorism is expanding. the political process is moving like a snal. in cannot be. otherwise the country is lost, they have to fight terrorism at the expansion of daeb here. that's why it's important that they have weapons to fight them p-- d.a.e.s.h. here. to stop d.a.e.s.h. and other related organizations. for this they need the presidency council, the minister of defense and going to work

you have the chance to you to send a message to at least two of those three administrations. what is that central message? >> the central message is that it is a clear wish of the international community but more importantly of the people of libya to immediately peacefully hand over power and i emphasize peacefully. there should be no fighting. this must go on in peace now. the people in libya deserve it thank you very much. the cambodian government says the multi million dollar deal to take in refugees have failed. of the four who entered, three have left. the last remaining also wants to

leave. >> reporter: this man thought he would find peace in his new home. he is a member of myanmar's hohinga minority. an ethnic group denied the civil rights given to other residents of the country and has been badly persecuted. he says he has been on the run all of his adult life. he hoped to start a new life in australia but ended up in cambodia. >> reporter: this is the document that you signed saying you would resettle in cambodia? >> yes >> reporter: i've been speaking with him as part of the year-long investigation into an australian resettlement deal with cambodia. why did you decide to sign this? >> i don't know. i don't ask anything. >> reporter: you just wanted to leave nauru? >> yes >> reporter: under a tough border protection policy, anyone who tries to reach australia by boat like this man, is sent to detention centers on the pacific islands of nauru and png

>> the message is simple, if you come to australia illegally by boat there is no way you will ever make australia home. >> reporter: with no viable resettlement options for refugees processed on nauru, australia signed a 42 million dollar deal with cambodia. it was posed to see dozens of refugees sent to the south-east asian nation but only five people came. >> translation: i'm worried about how to live here. if i have to live here the way other refugees live here, how will i survive? >> reporter: three have already left. just four months after he arrived, a man returned to myanmar. a few months later, an iranian couple also went home to iran. now only this man and an iranian remain and he also wants to leave. the cambodian government admits the program has failed. of the five people who came to

cambodia, three have left. is it a failure? >> you could say a failure. they don't want to be in cambodia. they want to be in another country. >> reporter: the australian government declined to comment. this man understands little of the policies affecting his life and says he will keep looking for a place to call home argentina has taken a big step towards reentering the international global financial system. it has come to a deal to pay investors. >> reporter: one significant step towards leaving financial default behind. on thursday argentina senate passed a law that will allow argentina to pay back its

creditors. >> reporter: we have to set the time and pay back soon because we are building interest. we have been in default for years and we need to put an end to that. >> reporter: the senate vote paves the way for the government to pay billions of dollars to so-called creditors, a small handful of healthy speculators who have refused structured payments. the funds have billions of dollars worth of dealt. since then argentina has managed to renegotiate with around 93% of its creditors, but a handful have sued the country for full payment in the u.s. plus interest and penalties. this is considered a victory for the new president who is trying to pay off argentina's debts so that this country can go back to

the world's financial markets. doing this the president says would allow argentina to borrow money once again and get the economy moving. stagnation and inflation have been the main problems in the last four years. >> argentina needs some time to digest those imbalance that it has and the best way to gain that time was out having to devalue the currency or make a very hash adjustment. >> reporter: many hero possess paying the obviously tour funds back. those close to the former president and left wing groups say argentina shouldn't be taking on any more debt. >> translation: argentina should be crying today and not celebrating. we are paying off a debt that has not helped the country at all. every time we have taken debt it has not been used to build roads, schools or hospitals. >> reporter: for now argentina has until april 14 to pay its

debts. it's not the best deal most people say here but it is the only one available that will allow this country to leave the past behind let's ge t get you a live update on a story that has broken in the past few hours. the tribunal at the hague have found a war leader not guilty of war crimes. he was not in court to hear the judgment. he returned to belgrade in 2014 for cancer treatment. one assumes they will be happy in belgrade with this legal outcome. >> reporter: yes. we're here in the headquarters of the party this morning and we wahed the verdict delivery with members of the party, but not with he himself. he wasn't here. he didn't want anyone by his

side at that specific moment. the same thing actually happened before on the day of radovan karadzic's verdict. that day members were waiting for him here, but he didn't show up. he stayed at home and the same thing happened today. on the other hand, we're talking about a man who really loves media attention, he loves to turn anything into spectacle and we saw that so many times in the courtroom, here in belgrade, in his rhetoric, in his behaviour. so today we saw it again and he shows up two hours later and wants to share everything what he want to say with his followers. he didn't say anything much new. we know about his attitude and today he is the helped line. he plays the main role, so he

wanted to share his opinion again and we know that his attitude is i don't care what the verdict will be. i already beat the tribunal. in that sentence you can see it all. you can see his personality, you can see actually the case himself and it was an unusual case. like i said people here are happy because he is part of the belgrade with the number of supporters of radical parties so for them this is a good day remind us what it was he was accused of. it does go back a fair few years now. it goes back more than 20 years now. >> reporter: can you repeat, please? remind us what he was accused of. >> reporter: yes.

it was nine dots. he is free from all of the charges. he was accused of the crime against humanity and it was a shock, really, about that news, people didn't believe us when we told him that news here in. they asked us is that really, so are you sure, is he really now a free man? so they don't believe yet, but they're celebrating thanks very much. still to come for you here on the news hour, they may have retired years ago. the earning power of those such as michael jordan and bekham remains undiminished.
