special things about working for al-jazeera is that even as a camera woman i get to have so much empathy and contribution to a story i feel we cover this region better than anyone else would be what it is you know it's very challenging they believe but the fear because you have a lot of people that are divided on political issues we are the people we live to tell the real stories are just mended is to deliver in-depth journalism we don't feel inferior to the audience across the globe. setting the stage for a serious debate up front at this time on al-jazeera. this is al-jazeera.

hello and welcome to the al-jazeera news hour live from our headquarters in doha with me and it's with ron i'm coming up in the next sixty minutes. preside over. which must not be prepared for. the bad ways president robert mugabe remains defiant despite a monday deadline for him to resign or face impeachment. with twenty eight days we will be called to the polls again to get a presidential election heads for a rub off conservative sebastian pinera takes a they'd bought fails to get fifty percent of the vote a special session of the arab league condemns iran and the lebanese school hezbollah accusing them of destabilizing the region and we'll take a look at some of the challenges facing refugees and aid groups on the greek island of less boss.

we begin in zimbabwe where a march anticipated speech by president robert mugabe has failed to meet the expectations of those seeking has. ended a televised address to the nation without announcing his resignation he defied expectations by pledging to preside over the zanu p.f. party congress next month that's despite the ruling party sacking him as its leader earlier in the day his wife grace has been expelled from the party well former vice president emma said in milan god who mugabe dismissed two weeks ago will be the new leader the party has now given mugabe and ultimatum to step down as president by monday or face and pitch meant it comes five days after the military saves power and place him under house arrest him a tosser reports from hadi. zimbabwe's president robert mugabe insists he's not

going to resign speaking from state house flanked by army generals he said he will be and as our new p.f. conference in december. from. preside over. which must not be prepared to. act. to undermine it all to compromise the outcome in the eyes of the public. the ruling party removed him as leader on sunday but he still party member of the party has given with. they were expectations he would resign after massive demonstrations on saturday calling for him to step down these are uncertain times for the country a lot can happen in the next few hours days or weeks president mugabe is using to

go he insists his fate should be decided at the december party conference the army seize control earlier in the week and confine the country's leader to his private residence in harare zanu p.f. has reinstated him as a man of god whether former vice president hu mugabe fired he is now head of. grace mcgovern has been removed as head of the party's women's league and fired from zanu p.f. . is a master tactician he has survived assassination attempts and out of which it is enemies in the opposition and within his own party president mugabe has made it clear he's not going down without a fight. while mugabe's announcement was watch closely around the world especially by zimbabwe's neighbors tanya page has more from johannesburg. this much anticipated speech by zimbabwean president robert mugabe would have been watched by many south africans and of course the many ism barbarians who now call this country home having left their own because of political persecution and many of course for

economic reasons the fact that it didn't turn out how many people had expected with a resignation really shows us how fluid and dynamic this evolving situation is and that is perhaps why we saw a lot of his it and see on behalf of officials on sunday to comment on events unfolding there so south africa's government said it didn't want to say anything until monday that's when the deadline is for coast to be reached here first put in place for the president to resign or else face impeachment and the southern african development community or said it also didn't want to make any comment until after its emergency summit and choose day luanda angola south africa has played a leading role in trying to reach a amicable solution to what to what south african president jacob zuma describes as a political impasse he sent on voice to zimbabwe which have been photographed in these negotiations but i think on this day those negotiators really played

a backseat role one of the things that really stood out for me and president mugabe's speech was this line he said that the country has a legacy of resistance and i think he is really living up to that legacy if you like and holding on resisting this really unprecedented amount of pressure for him to step down. cheaper than that it is an assistant professor and political science at and has college and she says mugabe's address was reminiscent of his earlier speech it's. more somewhat expected but it is. yes. that's all i expected you to very strong speech i think actually. the word. you know i am had a lot that i wasn't sure but i did expect each with the similar language that he used today what they see in the revolutionary ideals and see asian remember his

face. and that wretch fane see him and made them all fall in love with him was a speech of the c.-h. and so he wore it so well that reads he addressed them a challenge is so only an all it was a speech that saved all the right things but none of the things that people wanted . let's move on to other news now with nearly all the votes counted former president sebastian pinera is leading presidential election well more than thirty six percent of the vote but he will face of on off next month with socialist and former journalist yet who came second when the only twenty three percent of the race for the top say chileans also selected senators deputies and regional council members. twenty eight we will be called to the polls again to vote. remember there are two options the destinies that await us are very

different one is the wrong path which has led to stagnation and found here the other path which you should take which is the route to better times which will create a more fair and supportive and free chilling. well let's cross live now to our latin america editor sue new and she is in the capital santiago for us in the lead but not as much as predicted. absolutely and that means that stamping it is now going to have to broaden his coalition and just a few moments ago he met to with the far right wing independent candidate will say i'm done you're cast this is a candidate who says that if the former dictator in a chair was still alive he would have voted for him this will mean that that also be good i will be more beholden to him years invited him to join his campaign

another big surprise in this election is not just has made it into the second round that was more or less expected but that a third candidate almost beat him we're talking about bad for the sanchez she's from a brand new left wing coalition that admires bernie sanders she got about twenty percent of the vote and that is going to have to try to bring over her supporters into onto his side if he's going to succeed in beating. it out in one month's time so it's going to be a very very interesting runoff election indeed and nobody can really predict what the outcome will be absolutely do see what does happen between now and the runoff you know do you think the left can get behind one candidate and really give. for his money one of the criticisms of course has been that the left has been too divided making it easier for pena. well that's right and that's

going to be gives biggest challenge it's not a it's not a given that all of those who voted for bad for the scientists who is who formed an independent breakaway a left wing coalition very much and i repeat as as bernie sanders did except that bernie sanders was a part of the democratic party in the united states but here is not part of the. coalition so will those people in the end by the bullet make concessions and join who will have to also make his his platform go further to the left or will they just stay home and not vote and that is certainly something that's so sampling error is counting on the sort of disillusionment of the left wing but everything in the selection has defied the polls so i wouldn't dare to try to predict what's going to happen in a month's time it is a business here thank you very much for that for now that's our latin america editor lucien newman joining us live from santiago thank you. now talks to form germany's next coalition government have collapsed after the free democrats walked

out of the negotiations chancellor angela merkel has been trying to forge a coalition between her question democratic union the question social union the pro-business f.t.p. and the green party seven elections in september if an agreement cannot be reached germany faces the snap election. amazing of the arab league in cairo has agreed to condemn iran and hezbollah labeling the lebanese corey a terrorist organization saudi arabia requested the meeting to discuss alleged violations committed by iran in the region against a backdrop of heightened tensions between who they are and smith has more. to do the egyptian secretary general of the twenty two nation arab league suggested they all shared concerns about iran is attempting to influence life across the arab world from yemen to lebanon to iraq and to syria. to the whole region have suffered for the past few years the results and consequences of this dangerous

iranian policy so dition violence. divisions attacks on embassies actively supporting outlawed militias attacking legitimacy the list in reality is much longer. saudi arabia's foreign minister told the meeting but his country's frustrations with iran go back decades all the way to the iranian revolution in one nine hundred seventy nine in no way to ask if it will matter any leniency towards iran's hostile policies will encourage iran to continue with their hostile enterprise that's why today we're required to stand up genuinely and honestly with our people and governments to adhere to the charter of the arab league and international laws and to stand up to these religious rights policies of iran. as they are oblique held its meeting iran's foreign minister was in southern turkey the talks on the syrian civil war tweeting from there mohamad javid zarif said he

was working to build on the ceasefire iran helped achieve in syria he added that the irony is that the kingdom of saudi arabia accuses iran of destabilization while itself fuels terrorists wages war on yemen blockades catarrh and foments crisis in lebanon yemen iran denies accusations but it supports the rebels they're fighting the saudi led coalition which is fighting on behalf of yemen's internationally recognized government in syria iranian backed fighters of help shore up forces loyal to president bashar assad saudi support opposition fighters and were accused of allowing their citizens to fight for eisel and lebanon's prime minister resigned while in riyadh citing a reigning interference in lebanese politics the saudis were accused of forcing zada hariri to step down bernard smith al-jazeera. is professor of middle east and the university of oklahoma and he says some members of the arab

league hesitant about condemning iran or hezbollah too strongly because they have good relations with tehran. the arab league as a regional organization cannot do much and has not been a very powerful or regional organization even compared to other regional organizations there is one measure however that is quite practical and it's a small measure and that has to do with arab telecommunications satellites no longer broadcasting iranian financed television stations that's really the only immediate practical implication of this so this is a largely symbolic gesture on the part of the saudis and on the part of the arab league that it is not certainly the entire arab world versus iran saudi arabia and the core elements beyond saudi arabia the quartet as it were the sir the emraan t's the trainees and the egyptians outside of the gulf now are the primary players in this conflict and sometimes egypt has

a tapes with regards to some issues like for example syria but yes the herbal divided and i don't think and as we've seen many other countries in the arab world including morocco for example tunisia algeria are fully in the so d. camp with regards to iran or with regards to other issues that divide the so these and there are iranians like the g.c.c. qatar prices for example. they have plenty more ahead on the news hour including the search continues for an auction timed submarine which went missing on wednesday with forty four people on board more protests in total as demonstrations demand reforms to the political system and illegal to make trouble and the on a high with a shiny new trophy page will be here to tell you how he did it and will.

the election should have been called off once the only other main contender opposition leader raila odinga withdrew from the race but the electoral commission says the election was legal and can yet as victories should be upheld president elect a rookie who won the rerun with ninety eight percent of the vote insists the petitions are a waste of time legal expert julius came boyce's kenya's facing a historical process with potentially the results of a second election being thrown out this is a consolidated petition one in the manner in which. i delivered on his mandate so that is a legal issue the other one me. going on i mean it's based on the twenty thirty in decision of the supreme court saying once the not a presidential candidate they should have been fresh and emissions so one is more technical the other one deals with the substance. the stiegel challenge to the

election result is the second in just months two months ago those caught a nod to the presidential election it said there were irregularities in how the electoral commission counted the final results and a new election should be held with just the two main contenders taking part that time around the core trial and came from the main opposition the national super alliance this time though political parties have stayed away and kenyans appear to have little interest in what's happening in court this certainly is a level of fatigue as many kenyans look forward to the end of months of election campaigning voting and legal battles that are unfortunate but some say a court ruling either way won't immediately solve the political crisis brought on by political economic and ethnic divisions this winner takes it all. presidential system. has failed us and i think it's failing many other african countries as well

met in the turkish city of tal year russian turkish and iranian foreign ministers gathered ahead of planned talks by their president on wednesday asama been reports from. this was a preliminary meeting between the three foreign ministers ahead of the meeting that is going to take place in sochi in three days time where the heads of state of russia iran and turkey will be meeting about the situation inside syria what we heard from the russian foreign minister was along the lines of expanding the various relations zones we've already heard between the meeting that was held between the russian and the american heads of state that there might be the possibility of another deescalation zone on the border between syria and jordan are also under discussion was the inclusion of kurdish fighters who are operating on the border between syria and turkey if we heard the turkish foreign minister told out of there that the issue of president bashar al assad's future was not discussed

here but will come up in sochi and he said that turkey's position about this has been clear. today we have discussed issues which have not been fully implemented from the istana talks we also discussed monitoring posts within and outside italy but turkey will be inside and outside there will be russia and iran also ahead of wednesday's such a summit our chiefs of general staffs and other security personnel will also meet so the three sides have come to an agreement to go ahead to sort to discuss the situation in syria to try and avoid civilian casualties come up with a roadmap to a permanent solution which includes the geneva road map that was laid out by the united nations and they will be discussing contentious issues which are including not just the kurdish fighters the future of president bashar al assad but also the situation in the fighting continues. by all of their senses the guy sharing with me

our model range for the very patch ration of a henge of refugees have fled a recent crackdown the announcement came out of foreign ministers from europe and asia visited refugee camps and cox's bazaar on the bangladeshi side of the border more than six hundred thousand revenge have fled northern myanmar since august the e.u. foreign policy chief federica mother says she wants to support the young man's leader aung san suu kyi and implementing a solution finally child free has the latest from cox is bizarre. this is a temporary drawing to a refugee screening center most of the refugees you see here came here last thursday and friday were stranded in and human part on the no man's land between bangladesh and myanmar now behind us a lot of diplomatic activity is going on there was a u.s. delegation here led by the ambassador there's a chinese foreign minister in the capital city as well as the european ministers who are visiting here now despite all the diplomatic activities on the good

intention to resolve the myanmar crisis a lot of the new refugees are crossing into bangladesh and we hear similar stories of atrocities committed on the other side we spoke to some of the refugees and. i can't find my husband for over a month now not sure if he's detained or killed fearing for our lives we left behind everything and escaped to bangladesh. we can't move to villages without. the security forces have taken away my seven year old son and my brother i don't know where they are. the chinese foreign minister who was visiting the bangladesh capital had one on one meeting with bangladesh prime minister now he emphasized to the local journalists that this issue has to be a result bilaterally between bangladesh and myanmar he also say that any resolution in the security council can complicate the matter it has to be friendly towards both the countries we know the e.u. some of the u.s. state ministers are visiting here as well as a high representative of the e.u.

we have yet to see their reaction after visiting the growing refugee camps we also had the high level congressional delegate fact finding mission visit here on saturday with the u.s. ambassador we know that the trump administration is under intense pressure from the lawmakers to put some sort of target a sanction against at least against a me and my military but on the ground in the me on my side things are very volatile and critical we spoke to the refugees that been saying the new dimension to this story rather is that a lot of the young man within that area where they're coming from have been detained and taken away by and be an american security force as things are still very volatile and has not changed on the other side of the border. argentine officials say a satellite signals detected on saturday did not determine the location of the missing some of the rain the defense minister had said that it detected seven failed satellite calls that may have come from the area on raising hopes of the

forty four crew members could still be alive contact was lost on wednesday the reports from the submarine base and martin plotter. it's been more than four days since the argentina thora his last communication with the air a san juan satellite phone signals were detected on saturday giving course the hope . we had seven call attempts of a few seconds each possibly with very low signal which didn't complete that information is still being checked we're confirming it so we can squeeze what we can out of that information to get firm darter to localize it a huge search and rescue operation is underway with all of argentina's available resources being deployed along with assistance from a number of countries including the united states with these multi-mission search planes and specialist underwater rescue vessels so the desperation the back to hope again all here know the south atlantic is a cruel and unforgiving sea and with each hour that passes without contact being

made without a sighting the anxiety is rising argentina is holding its breath hoping praying for a word a sign of life from the forty four crew members. i also pray for the crew members of the argentinian navy submarine who have gone missing. in the air a san juan one of three argentine navy submarines was built in germany in one thousand nine hundred three and has since been refitted to serve another thirty years it was on a ten day voyage from the southern port of wire to its base the model plotter when contact was lost the weather is not helping but the search and rescue. operation continues unabated. still ahead on the news. and. even as the city chokes an.

three percent the arab league has condemned iran and hezbollah at a meeting in cairo according to lebanese group a terrorist organization saudi arabia request of the mason amid heightened tension between india and pad on the lebanon. and israeli cabinet minister says his governments had contact with saudi arabia to discuss their concerns about iran and the g. minister yuval steinitz made the disclosure and a radio interview is the first time a senior israeli politician has confirmed such contacts taking place steinitz was asked why israel was keeping its ties with sal the secret he said relations with muslim countries are often hidden because that's what the other country wants. i can say that we have secret relations with moderate arab and muslim states we don't shy away from that but the other side is the one which wants to keep such relations quiet we respect the desire of the other side if we are dealing with saudi arabia or any other arab or muslim countries we have to protect the secrecy it's true that

saudi arabia is not a democratic state and we prefer to work with democratic states but saudi arabia during the last two years has become more moderate it has moved clearly against terrorism and against inciting terrorism and it works with us against the expansion and aggression of iran let's get more now on our top story on the political turmoil and it isn't barboy and better president robert mugabe has ruled the country for thirty seven years he is the only leader most zimbabweans have ever known a hero of the independence struggle mugabe took power in one nine hundred eighty and maintained a firm grip on it. looks back at his often to mulch. he was perhaps the most infamous ruler in africa who destroyed a promising country through his determination to cling on to power adored by some but despised by others in zimbabwe although widely admired across africa as

a hero who stood up to the west. one thousand nine hundred eighty five rhodesia and in smith's white settlers declared independence from britain an event that defined robert mugabe's life the black majority resisted racist rule in the cities and out in the countryside where a vicious bush war raged for years robert mugabe a teacher turned activist emerge from prison as an articulate leader of the independent struggle we started the war in order to get our country and we haven't got a country. they did get their country at lancaster house in london in one nine hundred seventy nine and when zimbabwe celebrated independence gabi the overwhelming winner of elections was in power and soon showing the rival liberation fighters what do to keep it to be learned in the early one nine hundred eighty s. the opposition crushed thousands killed in ethnic massacres atrocities that were

barely noticed abroad. but there was also much to admire robert mugabe brought education and health to millions of the violence that although later the economy declined and the invasion of white farms in two thousand were turning point this time the world did notice. people said that this was going to happen it was going to turn into a bloodbath turn into another congo maybe this is it we're going to get out it was a chaotic destructive process but mugabe said he was correcting an old injustice that. it's not the business of british. not where the those who were given members of my by my party is relevant to britain. by now the opposition was growing despite torture murder and

manipulation many zimbabweans are ready to throw mccarthy out. they had a new hero morgan chang he said robert mugabe's early achievements will always be overshadowed by the years of oppression. is somebody who has betrayed the liberal. i think the letter. was i think. i had one stage the two rivals ended up in government together although mccarthy made sure he kept the real power and chang later returned to a position by now his wife grace forty one years his junior had emerged as a political player and gabi well into his ninety's seem determined to go on and on

he liberated zimbabweans but he also left them his roommates legacy sony vaio al-jazeera stephen china's mugabe's biographer and he says this is the end of the zimbabwe and latest time in power. this is simply the old man going down with all of his guns firing. blanks shots however because they can't have any real effect he's a gentleman who's going to have to reinvent himself he does not have the world's kindest past if i can put it this diplomatically is possible but i think he will try to reinvent himself so he can reconnect the country globally the task is very very much to forge some kind of economic base so the country can come out of great inflation come out of non-productivity come out of a past where everything was maad four decades back and try to take the country into a future of stability it will take a long time before we can take it into actual prosperity i think three hundred

percent inflation by christmas and i don't think you can reverse that overnight just by a new president this is going to take months of very very difficult work to even lay the foundations for reinvigoration of the economy and in fact there's no foundation except that foreign countries such as china for instance would pop some liquidity into the economy there's no production base that makes commercial sense of this moment in time. there's been a new wave of anti-government protests in togo demonstrators calling for an overhaul of the political system and an end to the ruling families fifty years on power but the president showing little interest in vacating his seat many on the honda poll. the government put the figure x. twenty thousand the opposition says they would times that number the discrepancy over how many were out on the streets of togo's capital today gives some insight

into just how far apart the opposition and the government and how little interest they have been each other's view protesters want a president for missing out and a two term limit on who will take his place. yes but the president is resisting sidestepping proposals that would see him go. but. fifty years is too much for one family we're sick of this you'll see we're sick of this. for three months people have been calling for an end to the political dynasty targo is the only country in west africa that doesn't and he had to presidential term limits that's kept than a single family in power for half a century first missing by a demo for thirty eight years and then his son who took over in two thousand and five when his father died president for pledged in late september to hold

a constitutional referendum but the proposal for a two term presidency is not retroactive that means missing by could stand to gain even twice potentially keeping him in power until twenty thirty as tensions rise the president has called for loyalty from the armed forces protesters have responded by handing out flowers to those seemed to keep the pace. will shock the military a flower for each member of our armed forces the army is ours we want the armed forces to take the lead in the struggle and finish it with us the government was having none of that no no no no our armed forces are loyal to our institutions that is final nothing beyond. the situation appears to have no clear resolution in sight both sides blame each other for violence that has killed sixteen people of the last three months was difficult ladies and members of the

african union have stepped in to try to get the two sides talking but until that delivers meaningful change these protests does insist that will keep matching maidana honed al-jazeera. with. the north american free trade agreement on nafta underway and mexico city but they're off it is that it could have a stalemate with the lack of consensus between the us canada and mexico ok proposals my no one reporter has more from mexico city. this freight train arriving at an industrial port in central mexico has been traveling nonstop from chicago the cargo on board includes tons of raw materials and automobile components and. here assembly is done by workers who supply parts to some of the world's largest automobile manufacturers. mexicans are very hard workers and we learned very fast and the labor he was skilled apart from that is low cost.
