zimbabwe's president robert mugabe remains defiant the spyder monday deadline for him to resign or face impeachment. and there this is our sara live from doha also coming up. with twenty eight days we will be called to the polls again to the. presidential election heads for a runoff conservative sebastian and yet it takes the lead but fails to get fifty percent of the vote. a special session of the arab league condensor iran and the lebanese group hezbollah accusing them of destabilizing the region. and we take a look at some of the challenges facing refugees and aid groups on the greek island of lesbos.

but again and zimbabwe are where a much anticipated speech by president robert mugabe has failed to meet the expectations of those seeking his ouster god they ended a televised address to the nation without announcing his resignation instead vowing to stay on for several weeks they were met also reports from harare 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 at his on a conference in december. in a few weeks from now preside over it. which must not be prepared. by any 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

as a party member zanu p.f. the party has given with a band till midday on monday to lead. the students through. impeachment proceedings. if. they were expectations he would resign after massive demonstrations are 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 in the week and confine the country's leader to his private residence in harare zanu p.f. has reinstated him a synagogue where the former vice president who mugabe fired he is now head of. grace magog has been removed as head of the party's women's league and fired from zanu p.f. my god is a master tactician he has survived assassination attempts and out with 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 al jazeera had. got his announcement was watched closely around the world especially by zimbabwe's neighbors china 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 bob wayans 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 that 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 and preachment 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 stephen shana's mugabe's biographer he says this is the end of this him bob leaders time in power. this is simply the old man going down with all of

his guns firing. blank 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 pasta 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 pos 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 pump some liquidity into the economy there is no productive base that makes commercial sense of this moment in time but nearly all the votes counted former president sebastian pinera is leading presidential election with more than thirty six percent of the vote but here will face a runoff next month with socialist contender and former journalist. who came in second in the early twenty three percent decides the race for the top seat chileans also elected senators deputies and regional council members. in twenty eight days we will be called to the polls again. remember there are two options the destinies that await us are very different one is the wrong path which is lead to stagnation and failure the other path which you should take which is the route to a better time which will create

a more fair and supportive and free chile or latin american editor to see a newman is a capital santiago i'm in a downtown santiago hotel which has become the campaign headquarters for. the conservative former president and billionaire who wants a second crack at the presidential palace he won the most votes in this first round of today's presidential elections but he may not have such an easy time of winning when the runoff takes place in a month's time he will be facing senator and former journalist. he is an independent but the candidate of continuity a center left this who will have to align himself with a new left wing coalition that scored surprisingly well in this election on sunday but as things stand now nobody can really tell just which way it will go when the chileans are forced to go back to the polls in december. talks to form germany's

next coalition government have collapsed after the free democratic party walked out of negotiations chance longer merkel has been trying to forge a coalition between her christian democratic union the christian social union the pro-business f.t.p. and the brain party since federal elections in september if an agreement cannot be reached germany faces another election. with the thoughts of an now we have to deal with the facts and the fact is that we couldn't conclude the coalition talks successfully this means that i will inform the german president tomorrow about the state of affairs and then we have to see how this develops further. i mean one of the arab league in cairo has agreed to condemned iran and hezbollah labeling the lebanese group 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 riyadh in tehran for its myth has more.

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 has suffered for the past few years the results and consequences of this dangerous iranian policy so dition violence tarion 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. cut off if you will 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 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 mohammed 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 sada hariri to step down bernard smith al-jazeera so my shahadah is a professor of middle east studies at university of oklahoma he says some members of the arab league are hesitant about condemning iran or hezbollah too strongly as 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 behind saudi arabia the quartet as it were the saudis the emraan t's the bahraini s. 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 does divide and i don't think and as we've seen many other countries in the arab world including morocco for example tunisia are fully in the so d. camp with regards to iran or with regards to other issues that divide the saudis and there are iranians like the g.c.c. qatar crisis for example and israeli cabinet minister says his government's had covert contact with saudi arabia to discuss their concerns about iran energy minister evolve steinitz made the disclosure in a radio interview it's the first time

a senior israeli politician has confirmed such contacts are taking place and it's was asked why israel was keeping its ties with saudi arabia secret he says 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 still ahead on al-jazeera the search continues for an argentine submarine four days after it went missing. a drive for change talks on

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 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 . perhaps in. very diverse us. nations like like libya we need a hybrid parliamentary system that. but. but don't you have the citizens. with everything all citizens should feel included in government and for a second time kenyans wait patiently to learn if they should prepare for new
