he's all for it. under president zuma the party has lost considerable support he's no stranger to legal action himself he's fighting an ongoing battle to keep hundreds of corruption charges at bay this race is as much about the old lead as it is about the new if the president's preferred candidate is selected she may be able to protect him from legal action and his post-presidential years but if i wyvil is selected they may be less inclined to help so there is a lot of stake for jacob zuma one commentator said president zuma is legacy is a damaged a.n.c. possibly he might be the worst president ever had to splits the alliance is almost nonexistent the n.c.a.a. has lost fifteen percent of us in across the board. so. the day

sit at the table a few very good statistics in the relevant data and we come up with a more formal solution as opposed to each one of three if. this occasion just lead to separate outcomes with. motor bikes are the way to go in vietnam it's estimated in the capital alone there are more than five million on the road annoy the brakes i've been applied to the bellman bikes they're now banned to reduce traffic jams and pollution reports. vietnam's road to economic success is becoming cloaked one of the costs of the communist governments embrace of capitalism is traffic congestion. narrow streets of hanoi can't cope with the influx of cars and motorbikes so government leaders in the capital have decided that after a gradual phase out motorbikes will be completely banned from the city center by

two thousand and thirty. it'll be a major change for vietnamese so reliant on two will transport our culture actually i think it's kind of an convenient. yeah there that the last thing. you want in vietnam using metta bikes is like a tradition for people but i think traffic is getting worse so if the government does this i think you'll be good to reduce traffic jams. even some who have benefited from the motorbike boom think it change won't be so bad. the number of bucks coming here to be repaired it may go down but it won't affect me too much because maybe i can focus on quality rather than quantity. as recently as the late ninety's the roads were significantly quieter more people rode pushbikes which is something today's government also wants to revive and this is a big part of the motivation a construction boom combined with the increase in vehicles has resulted in falling

a quality the fact the government is even considering this law is perhaps a sign that vietnam is becoming a victim of its own success it has one of the best performing economies in the world and while there are still big problems with poverty wages are rising and with that comes an increase in purchasing power. but not every. can afford a car and if they could get in the congestion and pollution problems would get a lot worse so if the government's plan is to work public transport will need to play a big pot but construction of the rail network in the capital has ground to a halt because of funding problems experts say all forms of public transport will have to be overhauled. the government needs to prepare to guarantee the policy can be implemented for example the public bus system needs to be improved he meets increased demand before the new law can be introduced city leaders in hanoi have already done the easy part by passing the law now the hard work begins to try to

put it in practice and free up the city streets wayne hay al jazeera hanoi. but now the headlines here on al-jazeera protests around the world against the u.s. decision to recognize troy some as israel's capital are gaining new momentum tens of thousands rallied outside the u.s. embassy in indonesia called on president to stop plans to move the embassy from tel aviv to jerusalem and earlier there were more marches in solidarity with the palestinians and other parts of the world famous writers march in washington d.c. and in major cities in europe and in the middle east tribes decision has been widely criticized because it is palestinian territory under illegal occupation by israel place in australia have charged a man with acting as an agent for north korea by trying to sell missile components and coal on the global back black market choy high chon was arrested in sydney
