follow the man who will become the next president of zimbabwe says the country is witnessing a new stage of democracy former vice president a missing man and gaga addressed thousands of cheering supporters in the capital harare on his return from south africa the day after robert mugabe's resignation. begins our coverage in harare. with. the country to go he said he would be back to lead his people former president robert mugabe sacked him as vice president so his wife grace could take over in just one week the military seize control resigned on tuesday the man nicknamed the crocodile returned wednesday and he is now in charge here. oh you i mean the only way was.

he revealed there were plans to eliminate he says he was poisoned allegedly by the g forty faction engine lit by grace. the rulings on a party once when i got to be the presidential candidate next. to the next general election season must be held. but some people don't believe in god what is the right man for the job he was a faithful ally of mugabe for decades we are not impressed by the one who replaced him they were together in the only known easy street and so we are not so sure whether we are free but we are hoping we are free people who supports mugabe the former president what are the good things done by zimbabwe's first leader will be forgotten to start paying for your blood and call him all sorts of names i think is

pretense of the highest order. normally of this period of liberation respect to the african. to which the incumbent to also take up the torch in order led down that spirit of liberation. says he knows and bobbins of high expectations they know he is a businessman some his say that gives them hope he has realistic plans on how to rebuild a broken economy how to. have also harare as our correspondent for media milla let's cross to her live now and he's promising all sorts of things in that speech but he faces huge challenges doesn't. it does face a number of challenges and one of the most important is reviving an economy that suffered under the policies that were implemented by the former president robert mugabe a lot of farmland was nationalized white farmers in particular kicked off their land and because of that the agricultural sector of the country has faced

a very tough time with exports dropping drastically we're also looking at a number of job losses so the economy key and a major focus for the incoming president but also one other area that would be of concern is the issue around unifying a country where we do know there are a significant number of zimbabweans who have and continue to support the opposition and in this case is zanu p.f. the ruling party has used what's happened in the last few days the political developments to bolster support they do have a number of the millions of the bobbins happy with what's happened i think either it's come from within the ruling party that they've brought about change so certainly in. good times essentially for a ruling party ahead of a potential elections next year that ultimately you would want to use those elections to legitimize. emerson and when i'm gone we're coming into power in just

a couple of days now once he's sworn in on friday so issues around unifying the country improving the economy and assuring an international community that it is business as usual but rather going into a democratic phase as. i mentioned earlier one that would instill confidence both in zimbabwe and and the international community at large for media in harare for moment thank you. and i'm joined in the studio now by lance given the managing editor of one hundred radio that's an online zimbabwe and radio station here in the u.k. welcome to you thanks for being with us. says it is the beginning of quote a new and unfolding democracy but how does he really differ from mugabe or do we not know yet well. where do i start watched his speech tonight and i have mixed reaction of

a mystery action to that because when he was talking in english he made all the right noises he was calling for support from the international community he was talking about creating jobs he was talking about zimbabweans pulling in one direction but when he was talking in his native shore in a language you will hear from the clips that you're going to be plain he was essentially saying zone appears is going to rule for ever and that those in the opposition would keep barking like dogs so i do not think that was a very presidential thing to say. have been through a lot thirty seven years of mugabe ever lived to zimbabweans traumatized so i think he needs to be aware that he is president of the whole country is not just president of people from your own party even if you wanted to though could he have the suitable for terri and power that mugabe had would zimbabweans and with the

military put up with that having got rid of mcgarvey after thirty seven years is is there a feeling of change of the way things are being done in zimbabwe. i think the problem we have we have a situation with managed to reinvent itself is like zanu p.f. is a snake that is managed to shed off its skin the skin is more garbage but it remains a snake if it feels threatened it will bite so i think this is the problem for a lot of people this man has been friends and allies with mugabe for over fifty years that's half a century. i'm reminded of how remained in power in two thousand and eight it was the same with the help from the army was secured mugabe is violent election so it is the same person who has been able to remove mugabe so here's the problem if the army have intervened now to secure the presidency what happens next year when the opposition wins elections will the army allow an

opposition president to take over having stated clearly in the past that they will not salute anyone who has not fought the war so that is a challenge but i'm not you know a prophet of doom trying to discourage people i think the zimbabweans deserve this moment they deserve this moment to kick mugabe out of their system but the reality is that the coming few weeks there's a lot to be you know looked at and sorted out people in the diaspora want the chance to vote we're going to spoke about fifteen billion that went missing where is that money how is corruption going to be tackled students in the university one proper support from the government people want jobs and none of us spoke about that so we hope this is he takes this chance for a fresh start the reality is of course he cannot turn around overnight how big is the pressure going to be on him to try to achieve that zimbabweans right now

obviously the majority of them they've seen the end of the mcgarvie regime but how quickly are they expecting their new leader to make their lives. i think this is what i'm saying if he manages to be presidential and stop with the inflammatory rhetoric he can actually be able to put the country together i think never underestimate the power of an apology i think a lot of people in zanu p.f. are now behaving as if mugabe destroyed the country on his own people are well aware that he was a mugabe and his party. it was a system that kept him going to be in power so if god wants to achieve anything i think he needs to dismantle the system although it's serving zanu p.f. you need to dismantle the system and that sends the right signal to everyone that this government is serious for example simply changing leader does not mean the laws that will precede are going to be repealed all the journalists are looking to see if the laws that he ended their operations are going to be removed political

parties are looking to see if the laws that made it difficult for them to hold rallies are going to be removed so we don't want. a very near of change without actual structural and legal changes on the ground but i think what he has on his side is that he is the man who removed mugabe and he is the most popular zimbabwean right now one account of that but will that good will last that is the question and a final thought concerning the opposition what state is the opposition in right now what should it be doing in this supposed new era for zimbabwe i think that the opposition created a problem because the narrative that was pushed by the opposition was that mugabe must go whereas i don't think it's about an individual it's about a system so necessarily the more got there must go mugabe has gone but has the system that mugabe created has it gone so that is the challenge this is an

opportunity for the opposition to take the lemons that they have been given and make lemonade out of it by this i mean it's an opportunity for them to demand far reaching reforms we do not want to go into an election next year and have a dispute again and we have the army stepping in to help has lost the elections i think zimbabweans want to a new chapter and they just want to heal and they just want their lives to get better really interesting can appreciate you coming in thank you. well survivors of europe's worst massacre since the second world war have been celebrating a verdict by the international criminal court judges in the hague have sentenced the former bulls the insert command to write camelot it to life in prison for his role in the murders of eight thousand muslim men and boys in the bull's main town of srebrenica in one thousand nine hundred five and i would hear david changes support from. the first need to send this update from the hague the chamber

territory there's nothing curious about executing prisoners there's no security about. thousands of people to hold these. individuals prosecuted convicted but these tribunals are in the receiver because they're being prosecuted and convicted for not respecting the geneva conventions among those crimes are some of the worst atrocities carried out in europe since the second world war thank you the four year siege of sarajevo which an estimated ten thousand people were killed in shelling and sniper fire and the massacre of thousands of mostly men and boys in the town of srebrenica where my colleague david chaytor now reports. the mothers of srebrenica called once again in the horror of their own memories watching the court proceedings in the hague in a small museum in the middle of the cemetery where their loved ones are buried they wanted justice as ever then. when they came

gymnastics team doctor facing a long time behind bars over sexual abuse those details coming up. first lebanon's prime minister saad hariri has promised his supporters he will stick with them and defend his country well the two weeks after announcing he was stepping down while in saudi arabia areas now back in beirut where he's agreed to delay his resignation after requests from the president to allow more dialogue so harder as more details from beirut. he came home to take part in independence day celebrations eighteen days after announcing his resignation in saudi arabia it was the first time saddle had it in has been back in big boot since that unexpected announcement in riyadh. he was received as a prime minister and warmly greeted by the president. who publicly accused saudi

arabia of forcing her to resign and preventing him from leaving the country the saudis said they feared for his life back home. he did say he would clarify his political position once back in lebanon and it seems a compromise deal has been worked out how to spend it his resignation to allow for further consultations. i presented today my resignation to president and he urged me to wait before offering it and to hold on to it for more dialogue about its reasons a political background and a green. represents one of two major alliances in lebanon on the pro saudi camp hundreds of his supporters gave him a hero's welcome outside his home many lebanese from across the political divide believed he was being used by saudi arabia as a pawn in their attempt to target iran and that him and his family were held as hostages there how did he has a national unity government that includes his political opponent the pro iranian

hezbollah the prime minister has long demanded hezbollah this arms and ends its military interventions in arab countries tensions have undoubtedly. already reminder that lebanon is a proxy state it's caught in the middle of a regional power struggle and it's in the pendants has long been open to question. the crisis that began with her resignation was widely seen as having been forced on the prime minister by saudi arabia to counter iranian influence in lebanon. i'm here with you and we will continue onwards together so we can be the lowing of defense for lebanon and for the stability of look at this gathering today is going to be repeated you'll see me visit every part of lebanon how did say how long he's willing to put his resignation on hold political differences between the rival ally . these are longstanding and unlikely to be resolved soon his decision to stay in office may be more of

a result of mediation efforts by world leaders to put lebanon's latest political crisis on hold. beirut. russia has launched a new push to end the war in syria with president putin hosting the leaders of iran and turkey in the black sea resort of sochi the government says it wants to see syria's president support a political solution but some observers say it's highly unlikely bashar assad will negotiate with the opposition some opposition groups meanwhile are missing in the saudi capital they're trying to agree a more unified negotiating team ahead of the latest geneva talks be a start a process hosted by kazakstan is also working towards ending the war its major achievement so far is the creation of four deescalation zones in syria but it is the latest round of un backed geneva talks next week that will soon be in the spotlight it will be the eighth attempt at finding some kind of agreement. so then

plenty of competing talks on syria vladimir putin said on wednesday that he thinks a new stage has been reached as far as his trilateral meeting goes really chalons has more from sochi. the main topic of conversation in the press conference that all three men gave after their meeting was essentially coming to an agreement on the need for a congress as they put it of national dialogue the way this is being framed is an invitation sent out to the wide spectrum of syrian society to come here to sochi in a few weeks time beginning of december and talk about how to rebuild the country now this is an idea that right away putin has been pushing for a few weeks now and up until now. he has been a bit reluctant essentially he is concerned that kurdish groups are being invited which he considers to be terrorist organizations but here at this press conference

they gave their support to it i still feel though that. is a little bit lukewarm about it one thing that rouhani said which i found interesting was that this this congress can prepare the ground for a new constitution for syria now some people have said that what putin is doing with this congress idea is trying to bridge the gap between the start of talks which have been going on for a year or so and there are about cease fires in technical matters and the geneva talks much stalls which is about a grand political settlement now this sort of thing this congress would sit in the middle but it suggests that flattery putin is trying to shape the constitution of syria the future constitution ahead of any future geneva talks so while they saw she talks continue saudi arabia has been hosting a summit of opposition members in the hope of a breakthrough ahead of those talks to you in geneva al-jazeera has seen

a draft communique from the talks subjugate has the details. we've seen the first draft of the joint communique coming out of the meeting in riyadh where about one hundred forty members from various syrian opposition groups are meeting to try and put a united voice behind their demands as the gear up to go into geneva on the member the twenty eight from the list of joint communique items at the scene they want a spreads in bashar al assad to have absolutely no role in the transitional government and they want the removal of all foreign fighters and it is worth noting that the only foreign power that the mentioned in this joint communique is iran which is not a surprise because this meeting is being sponsored by saudi arabia region and rival of iran and it sees iran as a as a as a rising force in syria and wants to counter their influence but having said that this is not the final draft of this meeting because there seems to be some sort of

division between these various groups including one group called the moscow platform which says talking about assad before going on to the negotiating table means that there are preconditions being said which is not in the spirit of trying to implement the united states resolutions and the geneva one a draft that all parties agreed on so all in all there seems to be consensus among the groups who are there in riyadh that assad must go there is one more day that they are going to deliberate and then come out with the final draft of this to try and put a united voice and try and go into geneva and get results out of this meeting to put an end to the syrian crisis. well on the ground in syria people living in the besieged enclave of eastern a so short of food that they're writing bins eating animal food and fainting from hunger that's according to united nations report the rebel held areas been under siege by forces loyal to president assad for the past five years one hundred

including hamas and fatah have agreed they need to hold elections by the end of next year leaders made the joint statement following marathon reconciliation talks in cairo. has been following the developments from gaza. palestine's two main political parties fighter and hamas along with twelve other palestinian factions came out with a statement after two eleven hour days of talks in cairo brokered by egypt have agreed to hold elections before the end of next year for all positions in the palestinian authority including the presidency and all positions below that the date for the elections will be set later by president palestinian president mahmoud abbas they've agreed that in just over a week the palestinian authority will take over of ministration of gaza from hamas amasses been in control here for the last ten years since they fought with fatter and pushed them out. due to take over very soon both sides all sides agreed

to friel political prisoners those held here in gaza and in the west bank and they agreed to reform the palestinian liberation organization which is the organization that represents palestine internationally it will be reformed to include representatives from hamas and from some of the other factions and to adjust its mission and mandate accordingly all sides agreed that senior government officials from egypt will come here within the next few days to monitor these terms that have been developments of what's been agreed upon but no date was set for the permanent reopening of the rafa crossing for most people in gaza the only way in or out it's a border crossing with egypt has been closed for most of the last ten years reopened temporarily for a few days earlier this week but no date has been set for its permanent reopening. the search for an argentinian navy submarine that's been missing for a week has reached a critical phase but fears the forty four crew on board could be running low on.

dozens of planes and boats a searching the waters off the coast of argentina there's still no trace of the submarine. force for. more than a week after the air a sound one lost contact there are still no answers still no indication where it might be or what happened to it the only certainty is that if it is stranded at the bottom of the south atlantic its oxygen supplies are running critically low the search and rescue operation involves four thousand people from nine countries with more than forty ships sixteen aircraft underwater rescue equipment and the latest technology that so far there are leads have been false ones. a life boat was found all the manufacturing data was collected and verified with the submarine command forced to see if it was the same type san juan may have it

was determined that it did not belong to the submarine the one seven hundred class diesel electric submarine was built in germany in one thousand nine hundred three with capacity for thirty seven crew with a forty four on board when it disappeared it can sail it speeds of twenty five knots that's twenty five kilometers an hour and dive to two hundred fifty meters these things have turned out well before a few years back russian submarine some people aboard a russian submarine were rescued what was said to be three hours of oxygen left and so as long as there's any hope and as long as the estimates go all the way out to fourteen days which is the longest and i've seen i think we have to assume that the crew install live and behave as if they can be rescued navy commanders say this has been the fuel for up to ninety days but diminishing oxygen. pliers are a growing concern for the families of the crew and the whole of argentina. there

are still many questions to be asked about the age of the vessel whether it had a functioning back up communication system the quality of the maintenance but there were later but now with the energies all the hope is focused on finding the forty four crew members of the ira so one alive and well. right now does it or one of cyrus the controversial taxi company has revealed that it suffered a massive data breach of fact ing fifty seven million people and it kept the details caught for more than a year how has allegedly found the data on an amazon account survey used by the company and they claim they were paid one hundred thousand dollars ransom to keep the security breach quiesce unofficial reports. it's not just the hack that's causing problems for it's the cover up the loss of personal data of fifty seven million customers and drivers worldwide is bad enough but the company took extreme measures to cover it up for more than a year and that will cause huge problems the company's new chief executive officer

. who only took over in september has said in the statement none of this should have happened and i will not make excuses for it we are changing the way we do business it was october twenty sixth in that hackers pooled names e-mail addresses and phone numbers of fifty million users worldwide the personal information of seven million drivers was taken as well but the company insists no credit card information social security numbers or triple cation details were stolen the company had a legal obligation to report the hack to regulators and tell drivers their license numbers would take it but it didn't do that instead it paid a one hundred thousand dollar and some to keep the heart quiet no doubt the recent news is great i mean issue for people who oppose it it's also probably quite good news for us competitive so companies like left and other right sharing companies it's not clear that. it will to survive if it continues down this this line of corporate culture and mismanagement they have many incentives to make sure that

these issues don't happen again bruce regulators are looking into the breach and the attorney general of new york has launched his will investigate should it's not the first time or has run into problems in march this year the founder was recorded arguing with one of his own drivers he later apologized. more than twenty people were fired after an investigation into sexual harassment at the company in london the first steps had been taken to ban the company right because of what was described as reckless behavior and on tuesday the company was fined almost one million dollars in colorado after investigators found it was employing fifty seven drivers who either had filled or should have filled criminal background checks there were violent offenders in there and there were also people whose license had been revoked because of dui and they were letting those people drive anyway and they knew it but there is a worldwide company valued at around sixty nine billion dollars it's no facing massive new fines and a series of civil suits from those hit by this latest breach alan fischer. well

michael daly is a research on ai machine learning and the law at university college london and he's with me now in the studio and michael field just how damaging is this the as a company as a brand over is obviously going through a lot raising. they're lucky it didn't happen next may when the new general a protection regulation comes in which penalizes data breach notification failure really really harsh however in this case they are based in the netherlands and the netherlands has already passed a law that in twenty sixteen that means they could face up to one hundred twenty thousand euros of fines for failing to notify and more in different countries for prosecuting practices so the following is a one thing what about the trust element with the public well regulators are really looking for for a variety of reasons now ranging from sexism to drivers rights and now thinking about security and other workplace issues. if this isn't rectified then it could cause a problem. as however many consumers in certain cities are locked into using new bridge there's no good public transport provision so what consumers can do is

limited yeah exactly i mean this company effectively paid a ransom didn't it to stop that personal data being released and we know that other companies are probably done the same but how can they be actually sure that the hackers won't then release the data or sell that data or even when they paid the ransom that's impossible well data can be copied so easily without a trace so this is really impossible unless they've worked very closely with the hackers they may have come to some legal arrangement but of course people who are breaking into systems are probably not going to regard that very heavily indeed many hackers would not want to reveal to the company for the for the business model of ransom and in fact the stage is very valuable on private markets and black markets so many companies may have faced data breaches they don't know about or even more sensitive data than this it was very high profile is the likelihood though that there are other companies out there who also had a breach of their security have also paid ransoms and have also not actually. admitted to it in public you know the you know they've been able to keep it quiet

whereas obviously had to release it because it was part of an investigation this is very likely especially given how many startups and small companies there are holding very sensitive data or on thousands if not millions of people these companies don't often have the resources or the manpower to secure their data properly and that can be really challenging and indeed itself has come under fire previously in california courts for having poor security practices well that that is the big issue isn't it we all know the. systems can be hacks but there are clever people out there who know how to do that why is it that companies still get trapped though and and don't actually deploy you know exuma type people clever people who know how to god security are we as a society just not up to days with the level of security that is required to protect our personal data well we've got this new data protection regime coming in place next year and companies are quite scared of it they say of course a lot of resources but it's very similar to the. and we've had since ninety five in europe which has not really been a boat by companies so bringing up to speed is one thing but these are laws they
