hello i'm maryanne demasi this is the news hour live from london coming up in the next sixty minutes. south africa's ruling party gathers to decide who should replace jacob zuma is x. y. or his deputy sebastian kurtz becomes the world's youngest leader as he agrees a coalition deal which brings the far right into the austrian government. don't mention diversity the trouble ministration bans health officials from using seven crucial words and phrases. three months after two hurricanes hit why a third of puerto rico is still without power. with all the sports including the final of the club world cup is underway in abu dhabi defending champ israel madrid are aiming for the second consecutive title as they take all brazilian sides.

have been tense scenes on folding in johannesburg where south africa's ruling african national congress is meeting to select its new leader current president jacob zuma who's accused of corruption is stepping down as head of the a.n.c. but the policy is deeply divided on who should succeed him former cabinet minister and. zuma who's also his ex-wife is vying for the leadership a main rival is prominent businessman and current deputy president cyril ramaphosa the winner is due to be announced on sunday addressing the event jacob zuma acknowledged failures that threaten the party's future. the fifty fourth national conference is taking place at a time when i want his men is at a crossroads. why we identify corporate.

as posing a serious threats to the agency we all sort of need to look at. then the mix we know will come as asians. so let's take a closer than at the two k. a front run is to replace zuma and co says on a damini zuma is a former cabinet minister who served on the every leader since the end of a party with portfolios ranging from health home and foreign affairs a former chairwoman of the african union commission she has the backing of her ex-husband jacob zuma her rival the deputy president cyril ramaphosa is a veteran trade unionist who was closely involved in the negotiations to end apartheid in the one thousand nine hundred he was seen as nelson mandela successor instead rama post became one of south africa's most successful businessmen as a director of the mining from lawmen he was criticised for calling for police action against reich you mine is it mark connor in two thousand and twelve when

forty four people were killed let's go live now to tanya page who is at the end saying a.n.c. meeting in john has been it's certainly been a lively nice thing over there with passions running high but what have you been hearing what is the tone of the debate when it comes to this leadership contest deepening existing divisions within the party. well it appears as if it will mean from the outset we heard the secretary general talking about unity and the need for organization renewal but then we saw one of the first things the delegates came and did here and in some numbers was sing songs in support of one or the other candidate and we had at the very beginning of proceedings which started many hours late because of legal action over who should and shouldn't be allowed to be here to be voting another indication of just how hotly contested this race is we saw the current speaker of the house blake and

betty stand off an issue two warnings firstly that there should be no more singing of divisive songs in support of one or the other candidate and also that it shouldn't be any change throwing and that's because in the build up to this elective conference they have been instances in which some of the branch labels that's the grassroots meetings of the a.n.c. members which happens in schools and churches all over the country people have been throwing chairs at each other there's been fists flying and accusations of vote buying and intimidation and bullying which is the lid to some of the legal action that we've seen playing out which is part of the reason that there was this lengthy delay today i mean the crucial thing is the presidential election coming up in two thousand and nineteen the a n c has always been the policy of nelson mandela it's the party of hope and freedom how the south africans view the a.n.c. today. what we certainly can't overlook that

incredible history is well it is as you say the party of liberation it is the oldest liberation movement on that the continent widely respected both in south africa and beyond however there is a general feeling among many south africans that the party has started to lose its way particularly under the presidency of jacob zuma just to give you a couple of examples that slipped in the polls in the last election the local election last year by about ten percent that's an enormous drop in support for the a.n.c. he's presided over a ten year which many people believe has led to a system of patronage within the organization where people are basically joining the a.n.c. because they want jobs they want access to potentially lucrative government contracts millions of dollars is unaccounted for at the municipal level where you know basically the books have been big kept most provinces in this country don't receive clean order it's he's reshuffle cabinet eleven times i mean the list goes

on and on and his name has been dragged into the courts over and over again. most importantly at the moment for him there are seven hundred eighty three corruption charges which date back many years to an allegedly corrupt lucrative arms deal right at the beginning of the a.n.c. time in government which he's been linked to and the opposition party the democratic alliance is basically brought those charges back and he potentially could be facing them at some time in the future so he really wants to influence the outcome of this policy of this elective conference because if an ally comes after him and succeeds somebody might try and protect him if a rival comes they may not be so inclined to help tanya thank you very much tanya page with all the latest on the a.n.c. leadership contest in jana's but. the nigerian military says it's arrested more than four hundred people associated with the group boko haram fighters as well as women and children were found hiding on the islands of lake chad close to the

a near strike during the two thousand in the gaza war but he became an unlikely symbol of palestinian defiance and resistance. the twenty nine year old often went in his wheelchair to fly his flag at demonstrations and protests all over gaza he went on friday to the border with thousands of others to protest donald trump's decision to declare jerusalem as israel's capital. donald trump must reverse his decision jerusalem as the capital of palestine i call on all arabs to support the palestinians and if they don't we palestinians will do it ourselves. ibrahim three it was flying his flag on friday when he was short and killed by the israelis going to market us to the very moment we helped the martyr abraham in the wheelchair tear gas was fired at us and abraham was hit in the head he fell to the ground and was killed instantly by a single bullet to the head. at his funeral in gaza city hamas leader ismail haniyeh said the protesters death was not in vain. that i should hear you are

he tried to protest despite his condition became famous all over the world and he is shaping the consciousness of the world two people were killed in clashes in gaza on friday for several hours and in seven places along the border palestinians protested uming stones and rocks at israeli positions these really fired bullets and tear gas trying to force the thousands back from the border line hundreds were taken to hospital many suffering from the effects of gas and with other groups and factions here in gaza calling for more protests the people here are bracing themselves for more funerals in the days and weeks to come because that was alan fischer al jazeera. now for the third weekend in a row thousands of protestors are on the streets of tel aviv demanding the resignation of israel's prime minister benjamin netanyahu is being investigated over corruption allegations which he denies high force it is live for us now in tel

aviv and harry it certainly seems like a very lively crowd behind you why do people there feel the need to turn now in in protest as a response to these corruption investigations. elite these investigations these allegations have been around for some months now but really they've started to beat the protests against them it started to gather pace in the last few weeks people especially angered by a lot of that but we don't know as we could but she was trying to parse through the knesset the israeli parliament which many here felt was designed to shield but you're not you know for the worse from the worst of the publicist see about all this so we have here people shouting shame bibi is his nickname bibi to jail and corruptors go home and as you say this is far from the first weekend that we've seen scenes like this in tel aviv. throughout december this is what saturday night

in downtown tel aviv has looked like while international attention has been on the latest crisis in the peace process with the palestinians and these protesters the focus is on domestic politics and the corruption allegations against prime minister benjamin netanyahu they have managed one victory netanyahu directing that a controversial proposed law preventing police from publishing their recommendations on charges in any investigation be amended to exclude criminal cases involving him one legal expert says either way the message is clear in some ways it doesn't matter as much whether it's passed whether they have to follow the netanyahu case or not if they pass the law it will be a message from the ten yahoo and from the government sort of interesting that on yahoo that the police are mistreating him on friday police arrived in netanya whose residence to. questioned him for a seventh time one case concerned allegations he tried to manipulate media coverage in his favor and other centers on expensive gifts received from wealthy foreign business executives in the ticket by. the prime minister denies one leak from

the investigation suggesting he and his wife requested expensive cigars and champagne when stocks were running low from hollywood producer on milton a strain billionaire james packer and others welcome to a promise for the record his lawyer has admitted what he calls netanyahu as weakness for wealthy people his wife sarah is awaiting indictment on a separate case involving alleged misuse of public funds they're seen as working very well together and he will stick with wealth wise again strange for israel not the kind of. facilitation that public leaders who are able to show there's increased scrutiny to regarding another case involving alleged corruption when german submarines were bought for the israeli navy netanyahu is not a suspect and he hasn't been questioned but two of his closest and most senior associates have been detained. and so harry we have seen our third weekend of

protests that how much pressure does this put on the israeli prime minister and his government. as these investigations get closer to their end and he was as usual not in the question for a seventh time just yesterday friday so it does seem that police are stronger speed towards the end of these investigations the pressure does intensify these scenes here i mean these are largely people from the other side of politics from budget minute in yahoo although one of the cule denies this is a full moon of the you could party benjamin netanyahu his own party he is broadly speaking on the right side of israeli politics when you look at the current polling numbers in terms of the right wing being very much in the ascendant here in israel but his his preferred prime ministership numbers in the most recent polls we're down to is that all this twenty six percent of the population saying it won't be the prime minister and the government is a potent is a big fan of how well below that the closest was eighty five said twenty one

percent of the people actually said none of the above so there's a bit of a distaste with politicians in general potentially so he is the most likely candidate to win but if he were to stand another election the question really is this how serious these charges are there is a likelihood according to leaks from investigation the police will recommend that he does go to trial and so a lot of this depends on what happens in any trials and how serious these allegations if they are proven. are sustained. in tel aviv where the protest continues. and watching out is there any csound much more still to come look at the deadly landry tens of thousands of refugees are taking from turkey to greece to avoid the island's violence returns to the streets of honduras as the opposition leader supported him on he declared the winner of last month's disputed election. and then later a. sports santa will have the details a skier lindsey vonn adds another world cup title to her collection.

a lot of knowledge to the political leadership regarding the freedom party and mr starr has a team but he's also put forward his suggestions so that the kids will if i hope this is about responsibility for our wonderful republic of australia and it is about ensuring good cooperation for the future too it can be difficult to tell them apart kurtz and his conservative people's party bills itself a center right but its policies borrow freely from far right ideas in january curt's demanded a ban on public sector workers wearing headscarves he was instrumental in having full face veils banned in austria too and his anti migrant policies slammed the door on syrian refugees trying to reach europe via the so-called balkan route it's not the first time far right politicians have been government ministers in austria it happened seventeen years ago e.u. states reacted then by downgrading bilateral contacts the prospects in this

coalition of the far right in charge of austria's foreign interior and defense ministries is likely to create concern in other european capitals. yes center for them party will got the lot of berry or ministries i have to add to the three things that so specially was respected in foreign ministry that woman who is supposed to become the ministry is not a party member. and what is more in court in the european perspective all the european policy agendas will transfer from the foreign ministry huge chancellorship other cuts not struck i have detailed the new government's approach to european policy cuts says he is pro european but the far right has traditionally euro skeptic is the difficulty austria will hold the e.u. rotating presidency in the second half of next year old brennan al jazeera.

wild dogs others still killed by trains sleeping on the railway is afghan says he crossed the river six times before dodging the police by that time he left behind three of his friends dead on the border. and you know there were three of my best friends we were out in the open it was so dangerous so cold we didn't have any food or clothes where the river winds into turkey a fence becomes the border paid for by the european union to keep the refugees out either side the turkish and greek troops refugees have been blown up by land mines here. the united nations says this year twenty thousand have been stopped on the turkish side it's becoming a favored route for refugees to avoid the greek islands what is france does is to force the refugees into the river either in the hands of illegal smuggling gangs or by themselves it's really dangerous all the way and yet again exposes the lack of

safe routes at the edges of the european union for refugees well away from the fence in the watching troops the motorway is used by the smugglers the campout here after crossing the river into greece the greek government says a thousand people a month to being caught it is unclear how many get through but they have nothing. which is a this is a medical note from a charity it's from december last year he says could this person please be referred to a psychiatrist. those little doctors believe the river contains many will bodies it will soon give up and that their impoverished hospital they should is the new addition from the red cross the huge fridge there are lots of room for the bodies gloriously al-jazeera

stuff that the centers for disease control open told to avoid the words evidence based and science based to the surprise of the agency scientists also on the banned list vulnerable in title meant and diversity was criticized by some from supporters as reflecting liberal bias and equally unmentionable fetus and transgender echoing previous steps taken by the administration in pursuit of that social agenda earlier this year the department of health and human sciences which oversees the c.d.c. removed information relating to sexuality and gender issues from its website. for more on this let's speak to sunrise in washington she is the vice president of public policy and government relations planned parenthood thank you very much for taking the time to speak to us what was the first thing which came to your mind when you heard about these forbidding woods thank you for having me maryam this directive from the trump pants administration is unprecedented it is

unimaginably dangerous to think that the career professionals at c.d.c. are forbidden from using certain words to describe health issues and describe their mission this is a group of nonpartisan non ideological per fashionables whose sole mission is to protect and advance the public health in this country and this kind of political interference is downright dangerous when i guess you've had a lot of contact in the past with many of those scientists and officials how do you think they will respond to this now how will they be feeling. well i think they will conclude the same thing that we've concluded which is the fact that you cannot address the virus and public health for women without using words like fetus and you cannot address the disparities in health care in this country without using words like diversity and vulnerable and you must use the word transgender to address the needs of a population that has been marginalized in this country for many years so i think

they will join us in our outrage at this directive and this political interference by the trump pensive ministration and what of the implications then of this for the effective groups. well that remains to be seen but i will tell you what one effect of this kind of directive and this kind of ongoing attack from the trumpet ministration is the sparking of opposition and you all saw as we did on day one of this administration millions of people marching on the streets in opposition to these kinds of policies that the trumpet ministration has been promoting since day one really to interfere with women's health care and planned parenthood this is the latest attack on transgendered people on people of color and on women and i think the one of the effects is that they are actually sparking a movement against these were aggressive policies and and here at planned

parenthood we've actually seen a million more supporters join our ranks during the tenure of this administration and that in itself is quite remarkable do you think then that there is something positive in what they're doing rather than trying to conceal that position's actually the steps that have been taken clearly reflects the ideological views of this administration when it comes to all these different groups of people that basically tells you everything you need to know and that allows groups like yourselves to then know how to respond going forward. yes you're exactly right the brazen effort. for the trumpet administration to forbid the use of words is an opportunity for us to mobilize against these sorts of policies not just policies against the centers for disease control but the interference with women accessing care at planned parenthood the expansion of the global gag rule on day one and so many other policies that really

do nothing more than advance an ideological agenda and interfere with people's ability to access basic health care in the united states well thank you very much for sharing your perspective on this with us we appreciate it dana saying ice vice president of public policy and government relations at planned parenthood. on now still to come for you this hour. i want to go out here in the u.s. state of georgia where rural hospitals are closing at an alarming rate we'll tell you what the effect is on the local communities and why it could be the difference between life and death. also bolivia's president evo morales is said to be confirmed as his party's nominee for the next elections potentially given a fourth term in office. and in sports it's been a day to forget the english cricket as against australia santa will have the details.
