the expectations of those wanting him out with a ended a televised address to the nation without announcing his resignation instead vowing to stay on for several weeks they were tossing reports from harare. zimbabwe's president robert mugabe insists he's not going to resign speaking from state house 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 or to compromise. in the eyes of the public. the ruling party removed him as leader on sunday but he still as a party member of the party has given macabre until 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 early 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. . it 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. about it. announcements almost watch closely around the world especially by zimbabwe's neighbors tanya page 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 for is 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 say and 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 biographer he says this is the end of the zimbabwe leader's 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 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 pump some

liquidity into the economy there's no production base that makes commercial sense of this moment in time. back to the polls next month to elect a new president. sebastian pinera has failed to reach the fifty percent required so now he's facing a run off against the socialist candidate. a lot america reports. he's back or is he most polls had predicted chile's former conservative president. would score a new reversible win in sunday's general election with thirty six percent of the vote less than expected a victory in a runoff is not assured still in his campaign headquarters the billionaire businessman who promises better times for chile sounded triumphant. we are very happy because tonight we have achieved a great electoral result we have opened a door that leads to

constant charges of conflicts of interest. i want to put a great many chileans on the political right center and left say they've lost confidence in their politicians who are seen as being more preoccupied with furthering their own interests and people feel disappointed. and they may implement different things but the works we're going to get out they see key issue now is whether those who want to consolidate the current government structural reforms warts and all are more than those who want to reverse them to see an human . i go position is german chancellor isn't out after talks aimed at forming a new coalition government collapsed the pro-business for a democratic party one of four and negotiation pulled out on sunday night citing irreconcilable differences. plans to meet the german president that's a signal that she does not believe her christian democrats party will be able to

a former member of parliament says fresh nominations for the presidential candidate should have been held before the rerun while human rights activists say 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 kenyatta his victory should be upheld president elect rikan yatta 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 is jelen doing the manner in which. i can deliver 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 withdrew they should have been fresh and emissions so one
