2:03 am
must be held. but some people don't believe me is the right man for the job he was a faithful ally of mugabe for decades we embraced by the one place they were together . 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 one of the good things done by zimbabwe's first leader will be forgotten to start baying for use blood in all sorts of names i think is pretense of the highest order . normally of this period of liberation respect to the african. that's liberation. says he knows and have high expectations they know he is

2:05 am
one of robert mugabe's legacies is that his policies divided families and scattered zimbabweans over the world and this region's economic how the south africa has the brunt of that exodus in the street alone almost every house is occupied by zimbabweans many haven't seen their loved ones for years my brother was in the u.k. you couldn't make it even if you know my my father and my mother but he's been in regular contact with his brother asma gabby's presidency crumbled it's created hope for the first time in years although the men sit to replacement he has been part of the establishment for decades. if it's going to take zimbabwe now is to think of the people of zimbabwe. we wouldn't want to think whatever we did like.
2:06 am
the advice praising. we don't know what is capability i think he deserves a chance their three month old son is even more of a reason to return home. now than there is this new future that you know we might benefit that might benefit our kids i really need to go home i will definitely go home. now the change has come there's certain it will be for the better tiny a page al-jazeera johannesburg two other news and survivors of europe's worst massacre since world war two are celebrating a verdict from the international criminal tribunal for the former yugoslavia judges have sent its former bosnian serb commander right to life in prison convicted for his role in the murder of eight thousand muslim men and boys in srebrenica in one thousand nine hundred five in a moment we'll hear from david chase the intrepid it's a first though they've baka at. the chamber finds.
2:07 am
guilty as a member of first joined criminal enterprises of the following counts count to genocide the verdict came a lot of his victims have waited decades for but the seventy three year old former bosnian serb general wasn't in the court to hear it he'd been a gentle moments earlier this outburst the midst of a lot if you if you continued like this. we adjourn his defense team had urged the judge to halt proceedings citing concerns over his blood pressure but the court rejected the plea finding guilty on one of two counts of genocide and nine of war crimes and crimes against humanity during the chaotic breakup of the former yugoslavia the court ruled that milan it's carried out a relentless campaign of ethnic cleansing aimed at ridding non serbs from bosnian territory there's nothing curious about executing prisoners there's no security.
2:08 am
to hold the. individuals prosecuted convicted by these tribunals very. much because there's been 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 there. was. when it came
2:09 am
a surge of elation followed by a wave of emotion that waited twenty two years for this move but they too have all had a life sentences families and villages torn apart a heavy burden of grief that they will take to the grave. among them was not caught in this iconic photograph of the genocide pleading with a u.s. soldier to help her get back a house mint her son and her brother but this was no safe zone. they were gone forever so right now something is sort of my point is that i'm delighted that the court has brought such a judgment i'm happy mother i've waited for this judgment for twenty two knees as a mother as a sister as a wife and i personally fought for these so much from day one until today more than eight thousand muslim men and boys died in the killing fields around. but still one thousand victims have not been found every week in the forests and the hills around
2:10 am
in this cemetery they're finding yet more bones so the problem is what the future brings what do we leave toward children what happens after this the deep divisions between ethnic communities here look set to continue the service member of the tripartite presidency of bosnia herzegovina said the court did not deliver justice but politics distrust instead of trust but ivana said instead of reconciliation there will be political conflicts david chaytor al-jazeera celebrity. we heard from general mike jackson a little earlier as a former u.n. commander who led the protection force in western bosnia back in one thousand nine hundred five and he says the scars of that conflict still haven't healed the. atmosphere in bars and herzegovina. for the united nations protection force. i'm afraid that the rules of
2:11 am
engagement under which i'm proof or work did not did not allow them to get involved in the fighting. the mandate was a humanitarian law to ensure protection of the delivery of humanitarian aid. this was not adequate for the circumstances certainly which occurred which led to the awful tragedy of srebrenica i've been that the deep seated and tag of this. are still there. dayton was a compromise these three then warring factions did not go to dayton. very volatile. because basically.
2:12 am
the war in bosnia had. rented all three parties. in a very difficult position and says there was great reluctance to exit date but they did but at the heart of date was this division between the so-called federation that is between the bosniaks and so on the one hand and then republicans serbska of the other. and this institutionalized the antagonism between the bosnian serbs the bosniaks and the kurds and are it fair to say that situation is frozen in time. it would be hard to argue against that conclusion. the u.s. secretary of state has issued his strongest condemnation yet meehan mosse treatment
2:13 am
of the ranger in fact he has used the woods ethnic cleansing next to us and visited me in my last week but avoided using that term he is threatening sanctions now for those responsible for what he calls horrendous atrocities in rakhine states roselyn jordan with more from washington the u.s. announcement on wednesday that it believes ethnic cleansing is happening in iraq and state in me and maher is remarkable the announcement from the u.s. secretary of state rex tillerson comes barely three months after the military started a crackdown on an armed or a hang a group which the military says was responsible for carrying out terrorist attacks . washington has long said that david l. has the right to ensure national security but that this crackdown has gone too far more than six hundred thousand ethnic were hanged men women and children have fled from iraq kind state into the neighboring country of bangladesh triggering a massive refugee crisis the u.s.
2:14 am
believes that it is now up to the authorities in naperville both civilian and military to ensure the quick we patriae sion of all of these ethnic group as well as to make certain that they are protected from recrimination and attacks they also are calling on the government to grant the rohingya full citizenship something which they have never enjoyed now the u.s. ambassador to the united nations nikki haley has met several times with authorities from me and maher urging them to basically change their ways and to make the situation involving the rohingya as safe and as stable as quickly as possible but so far there has not been any real change at least to the satisfaction of officials here in washington so now comes not just the determination that ethnic cleansing is underway but there's now also the threat of potential targeted u.s. sanctions against those people inside me amar who are responsible for the ongoing
2:15 am
attacks on the rohingya it's now up to the people in me and mark both in the civilian and in the military leadership to try to see if they can actually comply with washington's demands it's a risk which they may not want to take you might think of the range of themselves the ones in the camps in bangladesh which are now overcrowded with many facing widespread manju tradition tend to chandra is there for us. one of the major challenge that aid agencies are facing is malnutrition among. children more than half the population among their own and yet after days our children because of that bank of the government and unicef started a nutrition awareness week started on fifteenth of november and will continue to twenty second of november the main idea is to let the mothers know about this program that our clinic set up in all the camps to provide nutrition out medical
2:16 am
facilities for the mothers and their children in the within the camp area. my grandchild is not well she's not eating well and he's very weak which is why. many of their i interacted israel already suffering from malnutrition while in iraq and stayed children and their parents walked hundreds of miles across into bangladesh without much food supply now they're suffering severe malnutrition cases hands banger that's going on unicef started this awareness program and to treat this as a major challenge i spoke to one of the spokesperson for unicef we have to consider one thing that when these children with. these three lynn we are already suffering from malnutrition we've been louis margins the threshold and also going to. these people in terms of being treated against malnutrition so this is why you had running this in this campaign down here here's what's coming up for you on this news hour russia says there is a real chance to win the war in syria the situation on the ground the right
2:17 am
desperate. search for that missing argentine submarine and the u.s. eyes disgraced gymnastics facing a long time behind bars of a sexual abuse all the details and sports a little later. the end. but now the leading palestinian political factions including hamas and fatah have agreed they need to hold elections by the end of next year the leaders made the joint statement following marathon reconciliation talks in cairo. following 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 they've agreed to hold elections before the end of next year for all positions in the
2:18 am
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 the organization that represents palestine internationally 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
2:19 am
reopening of the rafa crossing for most people in gaza that's 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 momma always with us now from washington he is a palestinian american political analyst and research nice to see you look marathon talks eleven hours this is what they've come up with it feels like they're falling a little bit short here maybe. now a little bit short but this is typical of all palestinian politics so when they fail to achieve anything they move it on forward to further down they kick the can down the road and now they are talking about after one year but the task at hand are very big that they haven't agreed on over decades like reforming the.
2:20 am
hamas and islamic jihad to the p.l.o. that means the hamas have to give up on its charter so from what i see i think they agree to nothing it's much about nothing with what they said now i think they have failed to achieve anything that helps the palestinian people whether in the west bank or gaza and i think this is between the top guys the big guys and everybody is trying to get the other side to surrender to the other i think. the palestinian people's life and history that they do not agree even on opening the borders and negotiate an opening of the borders for the two million people in gaza or letting the palestinians who are in israeli jails going to ask you about the numbers of the or images jump in there about the border crossing because that is that's a tangible thing which the people of gaza really need surely that should have been
2:21 am
higher on the agenda. you know what from what i know i think the egyptians are much worse than the israelis now and keeping that blockade against the palestinians in order to bring down and bring a solution to their issues with hamas with targeting hamas and the palestinian people they are still refusing to open their borders they want to have control of the gaza strip like they did before nine hundred sixty seven war when are the not over. step to the israelis so what from what i see i think we are still not in the event the square one we are still outside the possibility of reaching anything that can help the palestinian cause and let's keep in mind the americans and the europeans will refuse and they it is on their books they will not deal with any government that hamas is part of it so what kind of elections are we going to have and what are we going to do when there are elections and hamas is part of it what
2:22 am
it's over for the palestinians what about the. i want your opinion on the fact that the p.l.o. will be taking over the running of the gaza strip again is that a positive development at least. no no because if we have we have another group to come and control the lives of the palestinians and their occupation and the occupation of the israelis and the occupation or the control of the israeli palestinian borders at the rafa crossing the borders with the with egypt and now they are talking about parts of the military or the police force it's going to be observers from the egyptian intelligence service who will be in gaza that means we're going to have another dictatorship to come into gaza in order to control the life of the people not just from the outside from the borders but now it is from within inside with people they are going to bring the from the west bank
2:23 am
remember that the forces in the west bank continue to arrest palestinians and arrest even journalists in the west bank who dared to speak out against the war about the misdeeds of the p.l.o. so i think what is going on now everybody is trying to position themselves i think the emirates who is plotting against the palestinians egyptians who are plotting against the palestinians are trying to bring their own force in order to control the palestinians and negotiate on behalf of the palestinians israelis not to please the palestinians and strong thoughts from mohamed always there in washington and we thank you for those and for your time thank you. now the saudi vote coalition has announced it will reopen yemen's main international airport and a vital port to let humanitarian aid into the country the closure of yemen's main air land and sea ports two weeks ago followed a missile assault by hutu rebels and has led to crippling aid shortages about seven
2:24 am
million people in yemen depend entirely on food aid for many and require rely on aid groups for clean water the u.n. had warned the blockade could spawn the largest famine the world has seen for many tech. we're monitoring these developments and we're trying to see whether that actually takes place on the ground of course if that were to happen that would be a very welcome and critically important development we've made clear the tremendous amount of needs on the ground we're ready to help if the ports are open so we'll keep tracking this and and see where we go from there now russia's president vladimir putin has told his turkish and iranian counterparts that there is a real chance of ending the war in syria he was speaking at the three way talks putin said he believed a new stage had been reached in the conflict chalons has a report now from sochi where the black sea. the war in syria is nearly over the three presidents meeting in sochi now it's time to rebuild the
2:25 am
shattered country of lady may putin thinks a plan he's been pushing for weeks now is gaining momentum. i am satisfied by the fact that the presidents of iran and turkey have supported an initiative to hold an all syrian forum a congress of national dialogue in syria the crebain driven initiative aims to bring a broad spectrum of syrian government opposition and civil society groups to sochi in early december to plan for the country's future. and join me in calling we have all talked about oppositions all three countries have spoken in favor of convening this congress of national dialogue. but the president has been telling putin he won't accept kurdish groups linked to the p.k. k. being there and turkey's president still seems lukewarm on the idea. of them.
2:26 am
let me agree with president putin and he said we need to build on the momentum achieved as we talked together with mr rouhani we agreed that we need to extend our ties in all the areas. even less enthusiastic is the syrian opposition group the h n c which says it refuses to discuss the future of syria outside of the un's geneva framework at an opposition conference beginning in the saudi capital riyadh early indications are that groups will keep their insistence asaad must go despite pressure to compromise with his plan for a congress of national dialogue russia seems keen to shape the political future of syria much like its already shapes the conflict if putin successful this will be to the benefits of his ally. and yet again the dreams of the opposition will suffer. al-jazeera. well saudi arabia has been hosting
2:27 am
a summit for syrian opposition members in the hope of some sort of breakthrough ahead of the geneva talks later this month al-jazeera has seen a draft communicate from those talks and to some avenge of aid has those details you'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 communiqué items that we've seen they want as president 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 mention in this joint communique is iran which is not a surprise because this meeting is being sponsored by saudi arabia really the rival of iran and it sees iran as a as a rising force in syria and wants to counter their influence but having said that
2:28 am
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. here's the reality though some people living in syria's eastern are so short of food that they're eating from bins eating animal food and fainting from hunger this is coming from
2:29 am
a new united nations report forces loyal to president bashar al assad of the siege the rebel held area for five years and more than one hundred fifty thousand people need food the u.n. world food program says at least four people have died just of hunger. still ahead for you on this harry returns to lebanon and announces he might not resign after sport the english premier league champions chelsea through to the knockout round of the champions league but back in a moment. however say it's a very heavy rain just pushing across the eastern seaboard of the u.s. easing out into the open waters of the atlantic still some of that damp weather in place for the time being see this area all. across the mid atlantic states up
2:30 am
towards new england in and kind of the northwest still pretty disturbed here is no walk out of the right topping up the flooding that we're seeing around northern areas of the u.s. particularly northwestern corner there and into western parts of canada of course but it can be seeing more cloud and right and they will get chopped up as we go on through thursday more heavy downpours more wintry weather there just coming in over the rockies in between is fine and dry some lovely weather getting up to twenty one celsius there in denver cold enough touch as we go on into friday but twenty three for dallas and by friday still that wet weather into the southeast and colder georgia the carolinas down into florida still seeing some lively showers i'm hopeful the showers the longest balls of rain the snow not quite as expansive across the northwest into western canada by this day's things starting to ease so you too across central parts of the caribbean still a fair bit of wet weather that just towards southern parts of cuba nudging a little further north which in the west which is to go on for a day with the right for jamaica.
2:31 am
over a hundred and sixty years ago a musician started a band in an arty should treat in cairo with their brass band was so popular it gave birth to an entire musical genre. as a century and a half later the sound still resonates with many egyptians today house about the people's music at this time on al-jazeera. when the news breaks it was an announcement few were expecting to hear by announce my resignation as prime minister from the lebanese government and the story builds i can't stop thinking about the bullies my life when people need to be heard a mass exodus hundreds of thousands of. ethnic cleansing imeem are for bangladesh
2:32 am
al-jazeera has teams on the ground to bring you more award winning documentaries and live news on air and online. you are the news are from al-jazeera and these are our top stories the man who will become the next president of zimbabwe says the country's witnessing a new stage of democracy the former vice president. addressed thousands of cheering supporters and. promised to deal with the economy and on the. military has been sentenced to life in prison he was found guilty on ten charges including genocide and crimes against humanity during the war that it was convicted of the
2:33 am
massacre of more than a thousand muslim men and boys. in the siege of sarajevo in which more than ten thousand people died. and the u.s. is strongest condemnation yet of million miles treatment of the red calling its ethnic cleansing. threatening sanctions for those responsible for what he calls her renders atrocities in rakhine state. so let's go back to zimbabwe now where the new president really faces an uphill task of rebuilding a country devastated by decades of mismanagement since two thousand and nine. hasn't had a currency of its own and after hyperinflation pretty much killed off the zimbabwean dollar it's use the u.s. dollar and the south african rand more recently introduced a new bond note at the turn of the century mcgarvie under pressure from war veterans demanded fair distribution of land we've had four thousand white farmers from their lands that's led to a dramatic fall in agricultural production in a country once described as the bread basket of southern africa over the past
2:34 am
twenty years unemployment has risen sharply as well it runs at more than a ninety percent so let's talk to me i could tell you about this an independent african policy analyst and former political economy professor at georgetown university he's in washington d.c. and it's nice to see you again mr where does mr mann and even start with the zimbabwean economy what is the first thing that he needs to do to instill some confidence in his people. i think the part of the things he needs to have a good analysis of how zimbabwe got to be where it is clearly there was mismanagement and we must understand that he was part of the mugabe team he used to be very close to mugabe so to the extent that there was mismanagement he was part of it but i also think we mustn't forget that the western countries slap sanctions on zimbabwe then that the i am have the embargo finally cut its
2:35 am
ties to the i.m.f. because the i am is give them economic advice which to my mind was ill advised heavy on austerity. go into market forces we did not and in my view did not. serve zimbabwe well so i think he needs to stad isn't i missed good diagnosis of zimbabwe's economy dr weil how important is something like returning to as and when currency i mean it's something which people can see and hold and might actually give them some hope now i went there nine years ago and i remember the days of hyperinflation where we were carrying stacks of ten million dollar notes obviously it's about we can't return to that but even just a little bit of ownership almost of their own currency. well i think there is symbolic value in died and sovereignty valuing died at the same time though it seems to me what is needed with currency it's it's it's i said debility and
2:36 am
strength so that to the extent that there is a backing from the u.s. dollar from other international i mean i'm not particularly biased to the u.s. dollar there's a south africa around the chinese yuan but the point is i think that they in my opinion they could go to five and say we want our own currency right away if they don't have the financial. muscle to back it so to me that is secondary they need a strong strong currency even if it leans on the other international currencies what about jobs one of the most important things i think for any leader in any country is to create employment in this again would be a huge task where could the job creation be in zimbabwe to generate money to generate the economy. i think you are so right about that because you know i mean
2:37 am
in the bible is try try villa economic travel has many if i said by one of the apart from the currency and the end inflation one of the aspects has been the number of zimbabweans who are forced to go into other countries particularly south africa to look for jobs where they were not treated by the growly well because of the new phobia in south africa so the creation of jobs is so critical and that then depends on investment and bringing investment but i have to underline that their investment has to be good has to be good for zimbabwe some of the investment investment advice and in fact what people have said that's far some of it worries me because it's not just any investment it has to be investment that is good for them and good for ordinary zimbabweans rather than investors who come in and want to just make a quick money and leave and so with that in mind what role for the international
2:38 am
community and not just individual countries but maybe the i.m.f. or other groups like that. i think they need to my stock knowledge their role you know one of the things that bothers me about the whole zimbabwe story is that i think the hand of the international community meaning that western countries particularly the united states and great britain and the europeans and then the i.m.f. and the world bank they're. in their economic disaster them by with became so if you ask me my personal opinion is yes they have a role but they must also start by acknowledging honestly acknowledging the contribution that they made in putting zimbabwe into the hole and they did that in my view to plan is unbearable for taking back landline that means only one from the africans so they need to acknowledge that history and then they come play a good role in the future they are always a pleasure thank you for joining us. yes mind me me now
2:39 am
refugees in australia is prison camp on man of style and reporting that police have entered the facility and trying to evict them some said authorities are confiscating their belongings and announced the four hundred men remaining had a single hour to leave for we've got back who is with charlie on the line now from amazon and he is a refugee who stays there and i've just been told we've lost communications with him i believe man asylum there just north of australia a very controversial prison that is there and has been threatened with closure so we're going to try to get back on the line and have a chat to him about what he's seeing and hearing. lebanon's prime minister saad hariri meanwhile has put his resignation on hold after returning from saudi arabia he's back and. suddenly resigning in two weeks ago plunging lebanon into political uncertainty. he came home to take part in independence day

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 how did his 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 line of defense for lebanon and for the stability of lebanon this gathering today
2:42 am
is going to be repeated you'll see me visit every part of lebanon how did they say how long he's willing to put his resignation on hold political differences between the rival alliances 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. the four arab countries blockading cancer have added two institutions and eleven people to what they call their lists of terror this is of course saudi arabia the u.a.e. behind and egypt to claim the qatar based world union of muslim scholars and the international islamic council promote terrorism through islamic discourse though they offer a no evidence the world union of muslim scholars is headed by use of. and has sunni and shia members in september it condemns saudi arabia for the reported arrest of more than twenty eight muslim scholars there but groups have
2:43 am
a large following around the world the individuals and to the list include members of the outlawed egyptian muslim brotherhood. now the search for an argentine net navy submarine that's been missing for a week has reached a critical phase with fears the forty four crew on board could be running low on oxygen dozens of planes and boats are out searching the waters off the coast but there's still no trace of the vessel daniel shriner reports from buenos aires. more than a week after the air a sound one lost contact there is 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 nocs engine 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 but so far there are leads have been false ones.
2:44 am
