never have ever since i was born i have never see this day i'm so for thirty seven years we have been our fathers were there when. you went to war. what we're going to bury. here. comes an emotional week after the military first took to the streets intervening in party politics over his succession it likely means that this man. will become zimbabwe's interim leader i had of elections in. the exuberant now some a cautious. and a person who's been proven. to have learned to listen to people simply what you see what. we want to be one lives. and

politicians for you to hold. to trouble me a couple through these demonstrations and which. was to play the game fairly if it is. we will touch him on you also we are sick and tired. i had for decades been a faithful mugabe lieutenant described as the president's enforcer close to the army and nicknamed the crocodile if you would describe him as a democrat. many are right to wonder with this era be much different from the past on this night and finale not many care. no one knows what's going to happen next it's a new dawn for the country for a people who have only known one leader since the one nine hundred eighty. and

let's join her live now just after one o'clock in the morning on those historic day harder to salivation is continuing yes they are we are seeing zanu p.f. supporters opposition supporters still on the streets savoring the moment these are people who up until maybe a few weeks ago didn't see eye to eye musically but they came together and one goal they say the goal was to remove robert mugabe and he has resigned so loss of jubilation and amongst them go tell you the personal stories graduates who find work end up selling tomatoes and bananas and cigarettes on the side of the road saying it's been you million ating for them they've wasted their brains everything i just gone downhill in terms of the part of me in zimbabwe so people are still celebrating savoring the moment hoping that the means good news at least for the

economy and life can improve for the poorest of the poor and as for what happens next how do you know where is man and god when can we expect him to be sworn and as the next president. well the army told the marbles yes then t.v. that he is out of the country he's expected to be sworn in either way. and then the real work begins people will wait to see him make his first public appearance and they want to hear what he has to say about the economy and people also killed. he's going to be anger simmons has this report about him and. two leaders one side by side who became sworn enemies this is how an extraordinary sequence of events started this is in relation to tell me. of. vice president emerson my god what i had been sacked by robert mugabe accused of

being unreliable disloyal and deceitful speculation pointed towards grace mugabi the president's wife as being behind the move the two had publicly fallen out in the jockeying for position over who should succeed ninety three year old mugabe. that highlighted the two factions splitting the ruling party at the time the military and the war veterans loyal to him and i got grace mugabe as you dubbed g. forty my god fled abroad but his supporters planned their response and it was dramatic the head of the defense forces warned the army would step in if the purges of politicians it favors didn't stop now as later armored vehicles rolled into the capital harare we wish to assure the nation that he's excellent the

president of the republic of zimbabwe and commander in chief of the same up with different forces. he and his family. and sound and the ass security is going to teach many of my gob is long term supporters had clearly abandoned him. to court. as the president and first. man god was stayed quiet a tactic that didn't surprise observers of the man who has been nicknamed the crocodile for his style in dealing with opponents he is a one man boy is not allowed to use culpability when you look at it when it was his prose is calculated to. cause until

the person is not knowing what is going to happen. had been a powerful and loyal member of mugabe's inner circle serving as justice minister speaker of parliament and vice president his supporters praise his business acumen and hope he can improve zimbabwe's dire economic situation if given the chance he's also suggested reengaging with the west after years of international isolation under the gobby andrew simmons al-jazeera. no rebuilding the economy is not going to be easy it's going to be a lot of hard painful work they also know they need outside help they hope the international community looks at zimbabwe differently now that the country is no longer going to be isolated economically and politically they are people coming out

of it so jobs are created so people with these degrees and can't buy work actually gets to find work and have a their lives improve so a lot of pressure on. what is he the right man for the job only time will tell people watching him very very closely they have huge expectations and people don't want to be disappointed thank you very much for that for now that five correspondent joining us live from harare thank you or people around the world are reacting to mugabe's resignation celebrations took place in the streets of neighboring south africa tanya page has the latest from the capital johannesburg. the happy scenes on the streets of harare were echoed here in johannesburg and also in pretoria outside isn't bob with embassy there are many hundreds of thousands of them bob wins in south africa because they've been driven out of their home country by political persecution and many for economic reasons they've come here despite

lee searching for work although south africa's president jacob zuma as the chair of the regional body sendek has tried to take a lead role in encouraging a negotiated settlement in terms of reacting to president mugabe's resignation that was left to president of the m.b. a a good long go to take the lead he said he wanted to see a quick return to a political normalcy for the army to return to its barracks and has about wins to now focus on social cohesion and unity the main opposition party in zambia led by hockey and a hitch lemme he's come out and congratulated the zimbabwean people and say that should be a warning to african leaders that power lines with the people the opposition party the main one here in south africa the democratic alliance have congratulated his own zimbabwean people and said that they wanted to see free and fair in.

that was tanya page from johannesburg now robert mugabe's wife grace had positioned herself as his potential successor that was before the events that led to his resignation and named grace expensive taste the fifty two year old had become an unpopular figure in the country made baka has more. rapid rise to prominence has polarized zimbabwean society a former secretary in the presidential typing pool she had an affair with her boss forty one. a married soon after. the but the event was described as the wedding of the century she's remained gobby side ever since moving quickly through the ranks of the ruling zanu p.f. party. she even managed to gain a university doctorate in two months receiving had to agree from mr mcgarvey

himself. as the economy fails a political ambitions have grown the fifty two year old as head of zanu p.f. swimmin and enjoys an energetic support from the party's youth faction g forty she's also openly flirted with the idea of succeeding her ninety three year old husband to the presidency. but she remains deeply unpopular with wider zimbabwean society she's gained a reputation for extravagant spending earning her the nickname grace. the first lady was also accused of assaulting this young model in johannesburg narrowly avoiding an embarrassing court case she has become not just a divisive figure but somebody who has been violent and who has frankly been into scrapes and turns of the head of state or certainly the first lady of state and she has been just to public you really humiliate this week's military operation follows

the sacking of the vice president. after a series of disputes with the first lady grace but gabi may have the president's ear but now god has something potentially more valuable influence over the military many of the o.p.'s old guard who fought for independence from britain have grown wary of grace mccarthy's intentions putting the military on a collision course with the first lady the president may have barkha al-jazeera and we will have more on from barbara a little later in the news hour but let's move on to some other news for now lebanon's prime ministers have had a day has arrived and bayh vote two weeks after announcing his shock resignation from saudi arabia that it is expected to attend lebanon's independence day celebrations on wednesday president michel aoun has refused to accept her resignation previously said he was being detained by saudi authorities the op has denied those accusations saying one hundred percent the some day they haven't.

have a day back in beirut for the first time really since his sudden resignation on november for sudden resignation which was delivered in a televised address from the saudi capital riyadh it raised a lot of question a resignation that it might take a crisis two weeks really of a lot of uncertainty not just surrounding his resignation but about his circumstances while in taba arabia many in lebanon believe that in one way or another really was being held off really now back in beirut definitely. like i mentioned those mysterious circumstances there was a diplomatic turmoil over his fate but. there. really is not immune to political crises or political instability and. people

were worried because you found it really at the center of a worsening of a really between saudi arabia and one. nation was in saudi arabia move against hezbollah hezbollah being an ally of iran a lot being a member of. government they wanted to curb hezbollah's influence. who moved let's say backfired because the lebanese came together from across the political divide. the fact that the prime minister. was practically a hostage that is the feeling here of course saudi arabia denied this. but the country came together but how long will this unity last because the differences are still there and the question remains. just on his resignation or is he going to withdraw it we understand is that the president is going to try to dissuade him

from resigning. to try to find a way. out of a compromise. he will withdraw his resignation. well let's get more on that now and put some of those questions to our guest political analyst at the outset of washington d.c. he's joining us live from there very good to have you with us on al-jazeera so he's back in beirut but do you think he was percent has resignation i mean i don't clearly he went so far with all the saudi calculation here not basically rescind. i think there's addition no there's talks. between lifting the promise of french and egyptian living diplomacy to basically go between. saudi arabia and to find what would. also of course. which what kind of government we will have when the election some are talking the election will be could be maybe early next year to basically make

it. but at least the crisis. the beginning of the crisis. the. liberties issue became a nationalized. local issue as it was between two thousand and four two thousand fourteen. thousand seventy. more aspects of. we'll see what will happen there's a lot of scenarios that you can expect moving forward and we have seen so far since the resignation and credible unity as will hurt from our correspondent in a sense the resignation by everyone from president our own to hezbollah. in the days in the months ahead where the political uncertainty now do you expect that unity to last. i mean it should stay for the minimum it's indeed a mizuno was right it's a rare moment of you have

a culturally basically who despite all the international intervention in it at least she was also a problem and stood they stood by each other in that sense they said to the players that we don't want to go for this point that we have a stability we have other big plans in mind and that's a bit of maturity for liberal sr thousand and five when the syrian left liberal basically was struggling to to basically have a decision making process who are going to be influential serious anybodies were learning how to govern themselves and it was a moment of maturity in how they dealt with this and nobody is excluded from that except a few politicians who had their own interest which is expected but now we have to see has to say get out of iraq the saudis are asking we have to have more demands from yemen as well also say in the government the saudis are saying you. should be

out of the government so a lot there's lot of complication there should be a compromise at some point led by the french and by egyptians to focus maybe on the election postpone any big problems have a neutral government with no trying to take stands between iran and saudi arabia and try to basically overcome the crisis that was partly you know more external than internal had was not basically produced by the system there are a lot of moving parts and i can't thank you very much for your time your insights on this story. well we have plenty more ahead on the new zeland clothing syrian president bashar asad makes a surprise visit to russia. the latest in the search for an argentine submarine that's been missing for nearly a week plus. i'm andy richardson in leigh sales that's all at the exact point where in five years' time the world cup will be kicking off.

at least fifty people have been killed a suicide bomb attack at a mosque in nigeria the attack took place during morning prayers in the town of movie in the northeastern state. sponsibility police say the bombing bears the hallmarks of the. nigeria's president home of the hard core the attack very cruel and pledged to secure the state of the us has the latest from the capital of. the attack came as washable as were gathering for early morning prayers movie service been relatively calm since its occupation by boko haram and later they were chased after one month stay in the city so the city it's obvious not far away from the boundary of that border state the epicenter of boko haram insurgency we've seen in

the last few weeks or so how but what are the fighters from the forest this and the supporters have invaded communities like medically like. the headquarters of medical and have killed a lot of people they attempted in the last one week particularly to retake the town but were repealed by the military so a lot of people still believe that fighters belonging to boko haram although the group has not claimed responsibility have infiltrated communities that are no far away from the boundary with but no state so we probably will see the rise in the number of the people who died or who will die because. the severity of injuries they sustained in the early morning said jack the security services say they're stepping up their operations in the north east of the country to calm things down and to finally get. over the last few months we've seen how bookworm has adapted and continuing to target soft targets in the north east of nigeria so in president bashar al assad has held talks with his russian counterpart vladimir putin and

a surprise visit to russia on monday i mean the head of a summit in sochi where person will host the leaders off turkey and a syrian opposition conference and solving arabia challenge reports ahead of a crucial few days for syria. put on a last minute show with political stage management a surprise visit by pascha to russia had a meeting with the military top brass who prevented his government from collapse. and he told me today during their own talks of the thanks of the efforts of the russian army syria has been saved as a state much has been done to stabilize the situation i hope that in the very near future we will reach the final point in the fight against terrorism probably the other coming out of this will be thanks to your efforts and the efforts of our allies many syrians could return to their homes and i would like to express gratitude to you for what you have done on behalf of all the syrian people. their

meeting proceeds two events both beginning on wednesday and opposition conference organized by the saudis in riyadh and a summit in sochi where putin is due to greet presidents of turkey and rouhani of iran. russia iran and turkey have forged what some would say is a curiously durable partnership they support different sides in syria and have different goals every couple of months for nearly a year now the three have co-sponsored talks with syria's government and opposition forces in the kazakh capital astana by posting this negotiation back to spearhead of them russia shows its growing influence in the region is that russia's back after the soviet collapse it shows that russia is not impartial player probably as far from the united states at least as we want to present itself negotiations have resulted in four deescalation zones in syria though often violated and much criticized by the opposition zones are male achievement of the estimate talks

russia turkey and iran say that fighting has reduced enough to now push ahead with a political settlement in geneva balancing their different priorities isn't easy russia wants to. protect its regional interests turkey is still saying that. it is now primarily concerned with confronting the kurds and iran wants to finally crush all those saudi backed sunni rebel groups those disparate groups are facing pressure both on the battlefield and from their backers saudi arabia's opposition conference is an attempt to instill unity and perhaps some more flexibility before any geneva talks on monday one of the oppositions most and voices quit. head of the high negotiations committee said his decision was forced after six years of conflicts in the syrian war as foreign stakeholders appear to be looking for

a. way out and i sighed he's looking more secure than he has in years to reach islands how does iraq. well u.s. president donald trump and that a man who can agree that there is no military solution to the conflict in syria and pledged to develop what they called an ultimate political solution the latest spoke on the phone foreign push and surprise meeting with the syrian president and sochi committee how could has more from washington d.c. the call between vladimir putin and donald trump comes on the heels of their very informal meetings along the sidelines of the apec economic summit in vietnam and while the two in this latest call did not discuss russian meddling in the twenty sixteen u.s. election they did talk syria with both leaders agreeing that the way to resolve the crisis is diplomatically. we had a great goal with president bush we're talking about serious serious we're talking about north korea we had a poll that lasted almost an hour and

a half we just put out a release from the poll book which shows you very strongly about bringing peace to syria what donald trump did not answer however when asked by reporters is whether it's his view that the future of syria includes. remaining in power now this is a very stark contrast to donald trump's predecessor barack obama not only did obama come close to ordering air strikes on syria following a two thousand and thirteen chemical weapons attack but he also made very clear his view that there was no future for syria with bashar assad in power still ahead on the news from governments to hollywood sexual harassment in the workplace has been in the headlines and your report says it is low income employees who are most of us.

farms owned by whites to a peace supporters angry at the slow pace of land reform the economy shrank by a third unemployment soared about eighty percent. out of this economic turmoil another rival emerged we must to give them a good sounding defeat morgan chander i formed the movement for democratic change it became popular enough to risk defeating mugabe in a presidential election runoff in two thousand and eight. i was beaten up frequently arrested and intimidated dozens of his supporters were killed allegedly by zanu p.f. thugs and the m.d.c. leader withdrew from the election worried about the stability of its neighbor south africa forced both men into a coalition chuang or i became prime minister but mcgarvey retain control of the police army and secret service and with that the real power of god he won the election four years ago by

more on this now we're joined by chief assistant professor in african politics at and has college she's joining us live from there very good to have you with us on alledge is there a so we were speaking to knott's ago when everyone was expecting mugabe to resign and he didn't can you believe it. and you know i can tell you it was. i was watching the live e.o. thanks to they smuggled a camera into her you meant i hope they don't get into trouble but they smuggled a camera so we're watching in this tiny tiny camera and i notice that in the island and then these couples and we thinking what's going on in people's that we in the early teens out that the letter of resignation had been to leave the speaker attempts to read the letter but if they you know if you lines of the lead to the crowd goes crazy so i sat typing on line because they were not sure what was going

on and i'm in the us and people at home so i start taping that he's resigned his use and he's resigning and people are asking if you choose so i called media i start taping that if you signed it was different and faced with. you know people are thinking that we're making jokes it's not too in there you got to my face you know this week on many days to come every went out only and are smuggled camera is that mysterious and you listen to the rest of the resignation speech is the lives you saved you know. and the letter the crowd just went crazy and i understand harare is still a block party right now we're hearing from our correspondent at the celebrations are continuing the same that we've seen and heard already all evening have been excuse absolutely extraordinary this there is talk now of moving forward there's so much hope about how the country does so but if you look at the situation now you

know the challenges for the country faces ninety five percent of the workforce is unemployed there is no massive shortages of food of cash there is crumbling public infrastructure how does the country move forward now and what will the priority be now. yes so the number one priority is the economy and i have a lot of faith in zimbabwe because in two thousand and eight if you recall we had the west in place and in the world you needed bags of money to buy pret as soon as the unity of order was signed with morgan change right it was as though the situation changed overnight i remember going to the store and my then ten year old niece saying auntie where was this bread before you know zimbabwe is a place that just needs a government that's committed because the people are meeting some bottoms up we need to do we need investors to come back but it's really up to the government

because of stills and that's in power they will need to convince investors that the doing away be right see with corruption with abuse of citizens and investors will come and zimbabweans are hard working i know just really just and they had they had questions in zimbabwe you knew you had they had produced in zimbabwe coca-cola had their reason i had quit isn't the way and they all enjoyed working at the bar which so zimbabwe has a lot to offer the world as you've seen who will not who was the most educated who in the world the people are peaceful the people are looking forward to rebuilding their country so that probably has a lot to offer but the problem wasn't that meant the problem was and it p.s. and the people at challenging sanity and saying we dare you to take us back the people's will today it was the people's will today must and there it is great to get your thoughts on this on the stage papered and there joining us live from and has thank you very much thank you. right to germany now where the collapse of

coalition government talks have left the country and political limbo all the major parties appears to prefer to be in opposition while chancellor angela merkel said she isn't opposed to holding another election dominic kane reports from berlin and . her mandate is from the president not parliament and so for now angela merkel remains as chancellor in a chamber where she has no majority and where four parties now say they prefer opposition to government with her this is uncharted territory for modern germany which was previously so used to stable coalitions. in mind so. we have a common responsibility for our country and we don't only have this responsibility for our country but for europe which needs a government that is capable of acting their reactions from abroad show that europe and other countries in the world awaiting for us are challenges of big as much as

we need strong neighbors our neighbors need to trust your partner at their site. one person whose role is very important right now is the occupant of this building . president frank miles roll is normally a figurehead for germans but if no realistic prospect of a coalition emerges he would have to call new elections and for now he says all parties must be ready to try at least to talk about forming a new government tuesday saw a succession of leaders come to meet him among them leaders of the green party who had appeared ready to make serious compromises to enter government for her part angela merkel has said she believes coalition talks were not destined to fail but that she and her party will not shrink from another general election venue. if new elections are called a word to be called i should say then it wouldn't be what the vote is but then we

would accept it and i do not fear anything to be honest. and yet her party's performance in september's election was considerably worse than the polls had predicted and while publicly her colleagues support her as their leader some suspect she is nearer the end of her career than the start one analyst says if there were a new elections there's no guarantee a similar ampas might not happen again we might end up in the very same situation and nothing has changed so polls from yesterday showed us there are no movement in the polls or parties there was not a single party you would gain more lost more than one percent three democrat leader christiane lintner helped broker a deal with angela merkel's party in his home state in the spring now he has sky put a national deal with her in the autumn if new elections do come constitutional experts say it would not be before next april dominic kane al-jazeera berlin.
