12:06 am
a senior researcher at the africa research institute i think this story continues to capture people doesn't it make and so what we're hearing now is that there's likely to be possibly an impeachment process but there is a road map one to one and i does that mean well it's quite interesting that we're almost returning to the very beginning of the discussions we had when the military first flex its muscles here where the road map as you know the terminology that they're using seems to be more about reappointing former vice president. than it does about president regarding himself standing down so we after a very excitable week we seem to be returning right to the very beginning of what what caused this sort of christ political crisis how many theages are there to the impeachment process i mean how long are we talking well i mean it's definitely be weeks rather than days so that the first stage would be tomorrow parliament's due to meet and with a simple majority of m.p.'s they could possibly. starting the process to impeach
12:07 am
president mugabe that the second part is the long long and quite tedious process which whereby a select committee a joint committee rather of representatives from both houses the house of assembly and the senate including members of the political opposition assess the degree to which president mugabe has. jeopardized the constitution of violating the constitution and the president himself would have the opportunity to defend himself so he could potentially be called before the parliament or at least a committee of nine individuals and sort of prove that he's in control of his for his faculties. and then the third part would be possibly the highest threshold here they need two thirds of all parliamentarians from from both houses. so we're talking to two hundred seven. politicians here which which remains on you would
12:08 am
have to both bring people who were supporters of grace mugabi and also you know members of the opposition along with them if they were going to you know to get this get this vote passed so there's work to be done there and then in the background of course we're told the deputy while he's on his way back or he will be coming back but for those people who perhaps see this is an opportunity for optimism and a different source of if at some point then he does become the leader we're talking about more of this thing well quite possibly i mean as as you said in your introduction there i mean he's served alongside mugabe for decades and certainly schooled in the same principles i do think however. is a lot more pragmatic he and some of his associates have been closely tied to reengage with the west and with the international financial institutions and he
12:09 am
personally is quite associated with something called the lima process a plan under which would repay its debts to the international monetary fund the world bank and the african development bank and then regain access to credit and he's got a lot more sort of policy options on the table than mugabe there were certain things we got he said well we will never do this we will never do that where is what could potentially make certain gestures that would appease people that have really been you know well that have suffered as a result of zimbabwe's history i'm sure we're going to continue to be glued to every twist and turn in this story nic thanks very much for joining us thank you. kenya's opposition has dismissed president hu or kenya election victory as illegitimate despite the supreme court upholding the results of last month's vote in a unanimous decision the court dismissed challenges that top us repeat election was conducted illegally opposition leader raila odinga insists the ruling was made

12:12 am
been using armed militia and bullets to disperse supporters. as the opposition ponders its next move it's uncertain if any further protests will have the impact it hopes for as many other kenyans prepare to move on from al-jazeera nairobi. well coming up on the news hour from london why the head of syria's main opposition group and several other officials have resigned. noises hard in the search for the missing argentinian navy submarine. and in sport when nascar racing is at a crossroads as the season comes to an end in the united states. the red cross says some and al bayda have joined the list of yemeni cities that are now without clean water two and a half million people live in the five cities where a shortage of fuel costs by the side kate has cost pumping stations to shut down
12:13 am
some yemeni ports have reopened to allow in desperate need of food and aid but critics say it's not enough reports. in yemen where a humanitarian catastrophe continues unabated anger rises as supplies window. we have many people with kidney failure and cancer and many other diseases but there is no treatment where can we go. hundreds took to the streets in the city of her date on sunday demanding the saudi led coalition reopen air and sea ports to allow the unimpeded flow of much needed aid. in one of her they does hospitals where medical supplies are running dangerously low a baby diagnosed with cholera is seriously ill. yemen which is on the verge of famine is also suffering from the worst cholera outbreak ever recorded nine hundred
12:14 am
thousand suspected cases of the disease have been recorded since april was this fact of how hospitals need anaesthetic materials surgically switches and surgical to medicines and many other things and all these things enter through these ports if they are closed these materials decrease. the u.n. is growing increasingly concerned that there is a point it becomes a second to think one where those people who. runs the clinic for children under the age of five who are those very skilled. which is that you see on t.v. those people are living in a similar existence and if we interrupt their ability to project which is slow. then those people get closer and closer to getting into the. representatives of the un's office for coordination of humanitarian affairs in yemen are eager to travel to saudi arabia to discuss the issues face to face with saudi leaders but can't
12:15 am
really afford to send a team to be able to discuss the procedures for or. we study to do but a leader with. charts and saying something. in addition to the humanitarian concerns a new report from the s a m organization a geneva based rights watchdog says that at least seven hundred sixteen cases of rights violations were committed against civilians in yemen last month. the alleged violations included extra judicial killings physical assault arbitrary detention forced displacement torture and violations of press freedom. more than five hundred were attributed to iranian backed who the rebels who are currently in control of the capital sanaa while the saudi led coalition was deemed responsible for at least one hundred violations says the watch dog back in her data a vital port remains closed as yemenis grow ever more desperate for help.
12:16 am
let's talk more about the water crisis i'm joined from geneva by shock me from the international committee of the red cross unit of a warm welcome to the program thanks for being with us let's just talk about the current situation on the ground and why it is that these systems and i being added to the list of those that no longer have access to clean water. water treatment plants and sewage treatment plants are powered by fuel there is such a shortage of fuel in yemen that indeed last week as your report was saying three cities die is saddam and data were deprived of clean water today. and by the have been added to the list which means that as we speak two point five million people in crowded urban environments. deprived of clean water and sanitation why does is critical it is critical because yemen was only slowly emerging from the largest call it outbreak in modern times more than one hundred
12:17 am
forty thousand people affected so what we fear is that if people are now again exposed to contaminated water color might flare up again and of course also other water borne diseases that we are also in a situation and we land the ports are closed supplies medical supplies you name it can't get through to people so they have blacked situation to deal with. absolutely yemen was dependent on imports at ninety percent essential supplies such as food medicine and fuel come basically from abroad. currently less than half of the medical structures in yemen hospitals and clinics are functioning about one third of needed medicines are entering actually this was the situation before the border closure that started two weeks ago so clearly yemen is already
12:18 am
a very fragile country it's twenty seven million people have suffered a lot during these two and a half years of conflict so these additional constraints this bringing the country to an absolutely catastrophic situation and beyond the war is the i.c.r.c. able to do to help people. well right now we are very active supporting hospitals. we are treating about ten percent helping treat about ten percent of color cases helping people who need dialysis kidney people who have kidney issues but for example even in this case those centers that we are supporting are now overcrowded by people who come from other centers that have had to close down we have been very active in repairing water treatment plants that were either damaged by the fighting or that we are suffering from a lack of maintenance due to the conflict but right now what is needed is fuel and
12:19 am
we do not have the large quantities of fuel that would be needed having said that i want to underline that we are optimistic and we trust that those who are behind the recent decisions understand very well the consequence of a very serious humanitarian consequences on the yemeni population and that disclosure will be reversed very soon. and they're joining me live from geneva and thank you leader of heads of lebanon's hezbollah has denied any involvement in the firing of a ballistic missile into saudi arabia which prompted the yemen blockade what i can tell and. what has been said about us. and peacefulness i want to emphasize to them that we have not sent any missiles or advanced weapons were even a pistol i want to fishery to my what was said by is out of the we have not sent
12:20 am
any weapons to yemen or to pottery and or to kuwait or has a nasrallah also dismissed arab league accusations that his group is involved in terrorism as unfortunate so how to has more now from beirut. well really i had two messages one to the arab league responding to their statement their resolution which called hezbollah a terrorist organization and they accuse that of supporting terrorist groups in arab countries hezbollah saying that no we are not sending advanced missiles or ballistic missiles or even guns to any arab country including yemen and actually mocking saudi arabia and its allies telling them what have you done name us a battle where you fought against i still not saying there is an international consensus that i sell is a terrorist organization but it is hezbollah it is iran it is iraq it is the syrian government they are the ones leading the fight against isis almost trying to say how can you call as terrorists when we are fighting a terrorist organization and the second message nasr law had it had to do more with
12:21 am
internal lebanese politics you have to take it within the context of the resignation of the lebanese prime minister saad of how d.d. who said that he would be ready to withdraw his resignation if hezbollah this in gauges itself from regional conflicts and like you mentioned earlier hezbollah nasrallah saying that we are ready to pull out our advisors and our commanders and our trainers to we sent to iraq because iraq is very close to announcing victory against isis so almost saying that we sent our troops to fight the eye so there is a just cause and we don't have any other you know ambitions so is he trying to open the door to some sort of a compromise so that the how do you he can withdraw his resignation and there could be some sort of a national agreement in lebanon so those two messages coming from hezbollah trying to really justify why it extended its reach beyond lebanon's borders. the head of the largest saudi backed syrian opposition group has resigned after nearly two years we had his job in front of the high negotiations committee he his
12:22 am
spokesperson and several other officials of ny stepped down ahead of an opposition conference in saudi arabia and a you round of u.n. sponsored talks in geneva a statement from his job did not say why he was quitting the h.n.c. is the main anti-government umbrella which includes political and groups. well let's talk more about this with lena captive who is the head of the middle east and north africa program at the international think tank chatham house you know thanks very much for your company thank you for being with us how much of a problem is it that these members have resigned it is a problem for the image and reputation of the hard negotiations committee here we have a group of key politicians. being the person who was leading the agency people like sahara tassy who was one of the leading activists in the syrian opposition basically saying the agency no longer represents their vision for syria
12:23 am
and why does it no longer represent their vision for syria what what's changed unfortunately the agency has been put under a lot of international pressure to basically accept a compromise for syria that would involve having assad stay in power for it period of time now the people who have resigned belong to a particle or block that completely rejects having assad in power or a spot of any settlement for the syrian conflict how challenging is it for there to be any functioning opposition and given the very fractured nature of the situation in the ground currently in syria i mean to that degree how relevant is the agency the agency is relevant because it is internationally recognized because it is the group that is representing the syrian opposition and the geneva process which of course is an internationally recognized process but the problem is the agency now
12:24 am
with these resignations is not as representative of the voices of the syrian opposition as it should be and this of course means that any agreement that the agency reaches with the syrian regime and others is not necessarily going to be wired to the embraced on the ground in syria. in terms of the talks which are ongoing what needs to happen next i know it's a massive question but where are the talks heading to audie making even gentle slow progress this is the other problem a lot of the people who agreed to be part of the agency expected to reach some form of breakthrough but sadly and this is largely to do with russia's hospices and towards the syrian opposition we have not seen any breakthrough we have seen the geneva process in fits and starts it begins then it stalls and doesn't reach any
12:25 am
agreement it is not likely to change this very frustrating process for quite some time when a cat's a thanks very much for joining us thank you now u.s. president donald trump has put north korea back on the list of state sponsors of terrorism the designation allows the usa us to impose extra sanctions but it also risks inflaming tensions of appealing young supriya weapons and missiles for whims here's how he announced it today the united states is designating north korea as a state sponsor of terrorists should happened a long time ago should happen years ago in addition to threatening the world by nuclear devastation north korea has repeatedly supported acts of international terrorism including assassinations on foreign soil let's go live meant she had her son see who is in washington for more hi there she up so what does this mean.
12:26 am
well that's what we're all trying to understand all trump said now the most severe sanctions ever imposed on north korea would be imposed on tuesday when the department of treasury begins announcing more sanctions on north korea having said that rex tillerson the secretary of state just spoke to the press corps at the white house and he seemed rather to downplay things he said he admitted that there's so many sanctions already on north korea that it's there isn't really necessarily that much more to be able to be done for north korea's for sanctions are concerned he said some loopholes would be closed perhaps on your used technology when the treasury department announces its new sanctions on tuesday but once again we're getting slightly conflicting messages from donald trump and his secretary of state on on what now will be taking place on tuesday and how how much impact they might even have on north korea and she had there was quite a debate over whether this was the right move
12:27 am
right i mean as you say this sort of thing does tend to inflame things for her it isolates north korea north korea then tends to respond not by capitulating but by taking an even more hard line but there was a debate in the state department as to whether north korea it actually meets the legal internationally recognized definition of a state sponsor of terrorism the two examples that was cited in these deliberations were the killing of kim jong un's half brother in a malaysian port and the treatment of an american student who was arrested for stealing something in your own yang while he was there he was then held in a pyongyang prison for some time he returned to the u.s. and then died a very mysterious injuries which no one's really got to the bottom of now state department lawyers said that that doesn't conform to the international legal definition of of terrorism nonetheless the trumpet ministration has decided to go ahead with this designation shihab sounds of their life in washington d.c. should have thanks. there's so much more to come this hour including the absent

12:33 am
cheese the behind us and the egyptians have made the middle east more unstable region and. i think that responsibly taking political gamble with the lives of other nations citizens with no exit strategy but how to raise argument is simple the blockade simply isn't the result of a spat between them and the saudis and the u.s. should be worried but it's not clear whether this new argument will be enough to spur washington to put more pressure on both sides to resolve the crisis. jordan al-jazeera at the state department well al-jazeera continues to demand the release of its journalist mahmoud who sayed has been in a gyptian prison now for eleven months hussein's accused of broadcasting false news to spread chaos which and al-jazeera strongly deny it repeatedly complained of mistreatment in jail when he was arrested on december the twenty eighth last visiting family. china says both me and maher of bangladesh back its three point

constitution cannot simply be given back to the electorate earlier he had met chancellor angela merkel following the collapse of talks between her party the greens the socialist democratic party and the free democratic party or f.t.p. merkel since been trying to send a reassuring message to germany and the outside world is that i can talk it is at least a day of to perfection on how to go forward but i will do everything possible as transitional chancellor to ensure that this country will be well led through these difficult weeks the pro-business f.t.p. had been part of coalition talks in september's elections fail to deliver a majority for any one party late on sunday they pulled out suggesting they simply couldn't offer any more compromises on issues such as clean energy and immigration as. we were conducting exploratory talks not forming a government at the end you decide whether to trust that the recent common vision
12:36 am
and it is exactly this a common vision for the country is that what's missing merkel's former partners the socialist democrats or s.p.d. have consistently ruled out to being part of another so-called grand coalition since doing badly in september's vote now they're hoping for a snap election. we think it's important that the citizens of our country the sovereign voters are able to evaluate the situation again we are not afraid of new elections based on the election result of september twenty four we are not prepared to enter a grand coalition with german leadership seen as crucial for european union trying to push through reforms the collapse of the talks simply you're affording likely the next government will now. necessarily be a stronger government because it has come about in a rather cumbersome and conflictual process which doesn't make for a very energetic or vicious government it would rather be one that will try to
