and i'm jane dutton this is the news our live from doha coming up in the next sixty minutes replacing jacob zuma south africa's ruling party prepares to elect a new leader. the new symbol of palestinian anger the activist who lost his legs in a previous israeli air strike has now been shot in the head and killed. in the streets of honduras it's been two weeks and still no winner and nouns to in the presidential election and why are migrants opting for an old land route to enter greece even though it's just as dangerous as the sea. the watershed meeting to elect a new leader for south africa's ruling party the african national congress has been delayed due to legal challenges is a chosen to succeed jacob zuma who's tainted by corruption allegations will lead

the a.n.c. into the next presidential election in two thousand and nineteen the party's deeply divided over who should take over a bitter campaign has threatened to split the movement because. the south african president's preferred candidate she's campaigned hard against racial inequality and for improving the prospects of the black majority the other main contender is several roma poses supporters say his business background makes him the best option to turn around south africa's flagging economy tanya page is live for us in johannesburg this delay tell you what happened. well the delay is due to really the divisiveness that we've seen emerging in the build up to this crucial elective conference the delays basically being caused by an emergency meeting of the national executive committee which is the top one hundred or so a.n.c. leaders they were meeting to discuss some court rulings that emerged yesterday in

three court cases which basically nullified the results from branch meetings the grassroots a.n.c. meetings in which they elect their delegates and who each of those branches is going to support and that would seem to at this point come out in favor of one of the leading candidates so ram opposed because those branches were believed to be behind his main rival in courses meanies zuma it is an indication of just how bitterly contested the top job races for the presidency of the a.n.c. the big implications so far being this enormous delay we're experiencing we don't expect the conference proper to kick off for at least another two hours. unprecedented in fighting has the build up to this highly anticipated conference african national congress members have taken their disputes about which presidential candidate their delegates should vote for into the courts across the country the parties need to seemed more divided the b.

and cs secretary general says it will emerge stronger. word is not a merger it will be rethought. it's reforms in all the. bridegroom referred to is google the unit is not the unit. is the unit of the board of. jacob zuma as presidency has been divisive and mobbed by corruption allegations that have threatened to drag him into court the a.n.c. lost political control of three major cities during the zuma controversy. many south african see this contest as a battle for the heart of the a.n.c. will the party continue in the mold of president jacob zuma by electing his preferred candidate or will it make a break with the past and choose a rival. his favorite candidate in courses are not that mean is it may be able to protect him from legal action involving corruption allegations the other front

runner is current d.p.t. president ceramic poser regardless of who comes out on top is likely to be replaced as president before the general election in two thousand and nineteen. the president will have to go earlier next year my sense is that the first quarter of next year he will have to go all the question is how will he go if it's communism or wins there might throw a big fellow party for the president to go it was a wince there might frogmarched the president out of the union building either way the president is going to have to call the polls i'm a dispensation is being forged now the question is how different will it be from his must call child maybe protest. it isn't just the top job that's up for grabs so are dozens of positions in the n c's hierarchy within the next few days they could be either a major realignment in the oldest liberation movement on the african continent or more of the same. internal talk us through this free education promise that has

been made at the conference. yes suggest came as something of a surprise to everyone here because it's audience i suppose the students themselves have broken their finished their exams so it is being seen by many people as a political move by the president the outgoing president and this is an announcement that there will be free higher education for the country's poorest students and those middle class for middle class households they have defined that as being students from households whose families. about thirty five thousand dollars a year this is come as something of a surprise because just a short while ago last month it was announced the results of an commission of inquiry into with a free education was possible that it would not be affordable for south africa the

context of which is the pro-choice we saw breakout about three years ago which we saw tens of thousands of students on the streets calling for fees to four they want free education and it seems that it is something that certainly the president perhaps thinking of his legacy wants to see come into force those cynics among the people here in the delegations and some of the commentators have been speaking to say look at this is something aimed really at appealing to the young voters south africa has a young population and a year and a half or less it's hitting into a general election the a.n.c. despite he wants to hold on to the big majority that it retains because it has been slipping in the polls in recent times thanks for that now let's take a closer look at the two contenders to replace zuma. is an a.n.c. veteran of the trained pediatrician she has served as a minister in the every leader since the end of apartheid. belongs to the dominant zulu tribe and the former african union chairperson is being projected as someone

who can become south africa's first woman president but back in one thousand nine. the country's anti-graft body held her responsible for misleading parliament about a controversial contract in the fight against aids her rival sixty five year old sorrel rum oppose i was closely involved in the negotiations to end apartheid and was seen as a nelson mandela successor in the late one nine hundred ninety s. he was overlooked and the veteran trade unionist quits politics to become one of south africa's most successful businessmen from a poser as a clean progressive image but has been criticized for his role in dealing with the miners' strike that led to the marikana massacre in which forty four people were killed in two thousand and twelve well joining us live is all more global tone jani a political commentator from johannesburg very good to have you with us what do you make of the delays happening at the conference i mean how concerned is the a n c about the legal action here what's of impact could it have on the two candidates.

while we still don't ignore how that is looking what we have seen over the past two weeks is that this type of legal action was president it was something that we were expecting it has been a very highly contested election between as and i don't mean. that we have never seen the a and b. you know in this kind of a position. what we hope to see is that they did a good swarm managed to vote and what the secretary general has said. is there being more comply with the court ruling so the delegates will be allowed to vote but they will be some twenty seven or so from the different branches or will not be allowed to vote we did not know if there will be some fights there break out due to their dissatisfaction but it's a waiting game and told everything begins do what you think about these promises

made free education to ninety percent of south africans who need it i mean this is from a government that's been behind the crumbling education sector where they're going to have this money and will this work as an education promise. we need about forty billion plus to make education happen the government has been under a lot of pressure to take some action and to take to make education more accessible we know that the future must for proteus brought you know some of our higher education institutions to a standstill with some students not being able to write exams due to due to doze disruptions so this this seems like a good call this announcement comes at a very interesting time i think president zuma is just reminding us who is in charge we didn't hear this announcement from the finance minister who was

addressing the media today it has come from the president for a reason and perhaps this is the legacy that he wants to leave for himself just to distract us from all the corruption allegations and state capture that seem to follow him so we just don't know where the money will come from reno that we are in fifty billion tax the deficit so we will have to wait to hear from the finance minister on exactly where we will get these funds from to make this happen ok obviously the economy is a real concern for the country and was that in mind i mean who do you think is the preferred better candidate. it's quite difficult to tell at this stage why not all of the big issues that and got as and i mean islam has focused on has been on you know radical economic transformation transforming our communities but the talks about radical economic transformation

still create a bit of anxiety because we need to figure out a balance of how do we make a radical economic transformation happen alongside business confidence and ensuring bethought africa remains an attractive investment opportunity so and then on the other side we have several who is a known businessmen very successful but he still has you know the shadow of the massacre that happened in america and the hanging over him but on the other side this seems to be more. based on him having a key image as compared to of course i mean you are right let's leave it there or more go to town jani good to talk to you. israeli forces have killed four palestinians in the latest protests in gaza and the occupied west bank they were railing against u.s. president donald trump's recognition of jerusalem as israel's capital a disabled man in a wheelchair was among the dead ibraheem abu diaa was shot by israeli forces while

safe routes at the edges of the european union for refugees well away from the fence and the watching troops the motorway is used by the smugglers they camp out here after crossing the river into greece the greek government says a thousand people a month to be in court it is unclear how many get through but they have nothing. which is a this is a medical no from a charity it's from december last year he says could this person please be referred to a psychiatrist. the hospital doctors believe the river contains many more bodies it will soon give up and that their impoverished hospital they showed is the new addition from the red cross a huge fridge they've run out of room for the bodies lawrence lee al jazeera on the greece turkey border. so in this is the head of the international committee

what can be done to put a stop to this happening to make those who take this journey their route any easier is there anything. of course if we look at the root causes of why people around the move it's those numbers conflicts around the world in the middle east in africa also numbers people are still fain facing extreme poverty so defined solution for this root courses is the way forward but in the meanwhile i think all countries priests and the others when they do border controlling they need to really realize and respect the international norms and standards including the principle or non-lethal amount everybody who is seeking their future would have a right to do so. because it seems that many of them are escaping from. european

authorities on thing i'm just wondering what you are hearing about numbers and what we can expect in the coming weeks the coming months. as i said if we talk about everest in particular it's a traditional micra thirty route three hundred fifty people is to made it to have lost their lives since two thousand and about one hundred of them have been able to identified so distressed agana any of these families back and their home countries have been able to relieve. however. what can be done. i think a humane border controlling is one one way to go forward and it seems that when it comes to the sea routes they seem to be better controlled other than what you mentioned how can your opinion of thirty's in particular work together to make it a safe and. european countries that definitely

need to socially daddy to italy and crease who are taking to make major burden on managing the increased migratory flows towards europe so it's joint efforts. all of all of countries also the issue of family reunification how to collaborate better and more efficiently is extremely important in particular a high number of unaccompanied children among this population who is seeking safety in particular they need need to be taken into account and faster ways of having a proper home and safety is to be found in the sea thank you. relatives of crew members from the missing argentine submarine are demanding the international search operation continues until
