ask him to resign or south africa's president. rebuilding iraq donor's aim to raise billions of dollars to help its people restart their shattered lives. it's a very important member of the defeat our coalition the u.s. extra state pledges to help egypt to defeat. and revealed for the first time the official portraits of barack and michelle obama. and far as well in doha high winds again cause havoc at the winter olympics n.p.r. chang some riders complain the slopestyle final was a lottery due to the condition. atlanta has been growing for jacob zuma to stand down as south africa's president abbas six hours his party the a.n.c. of a meeting to discuss his fate the special gathering is

a final attempt to precious zuma to resign and see president cyril ramaphosa ramped up the pressure on sunday saying the issue is causing disunity and discord as you mr downer's a.n.c. leader in december if this is a number of corruption charges after nine years in power i mean the miller has more from johannesburg. the agency's national executive committee the top decision making body has been meeting for hours it's expected to recall president jacob zuma from his position the president would then need to resign but all indications are this may not happen. as existed calls to step down for months including the last few days where we understand that the president of the a.n.c. . been in talks with zuma to agree on some sort of exit but those talks reportedly failed and now it's up to the ne seed to decide what next for president

zuma even if the any c. decides to recall summa it doesn't have the power to remove a sitting head of state so zuma would have to resign if he doesn't the a.n.c. is likely to move for a motion of no confidence in parliament now opposition parties already have a motion of no confidence debate scheduled for later this month but want to move forward to this week and the following of that they want to parliament dissolved and south africa to hold the snap elections within three months then sees in a corner dealing with a divided party an increasingly frustrated public and opposition parties demanding decisive action and the unseating of the ruling party chris fandom is a research analyst for the africa program at the international think tank chatham house and joins me live in the studio so this has been going on for hours now what do you think the outcome is going to be. this is been going on for weeks really i

mean this is been going on since the top six of. last week and moves in the direction of coming to the decision jacob zuma was ready to go i think with the outcome of the meeting to it will likely be one. that will see. come to a decision for zuma to leave but that doesn't necessarily mean that he will this is something that's very tricky within the party there's this moment of unity following last year's elective conference where so around oppose the leadership of the party and since then he's been pushing to get the leader. of the country but those who supported jacob zuma has chosen successor and has a zone of immunity who lost the election there's still this latent support for zuma within the party from those people and in terms of human himself what what's in it for him to hang on given that in the end he probably does have to go who want to make sure that he can determine his his own exit rar two big things

hanging over his head one of them are the prospects of facing corruption charges there are allegations of corruption against him from an arms dealer back in the one nine hundred ninety s. and there's also the commission of inquiry that he's just launched in two states capture and so he'll be trying to find a exit strategy that. leaves him well in both of those some hours and if the if he in the end doesn't if this meeting with the press is been going on for a while but that the meeting itself today if that doesn't conclude things are there any other methods for him to to be removed always is that likely to happen if the only see today decides he must go and he still refuses to step down which is what happens with his predecessor tarver and perky we only see a move to remove him and he saw the writing was on the wall and he did step down if zuma doesn't and so far he has shown to be a more difficult persons of

a move than the party will move for motion of no confidence now there is already this motion tabled for next thursday the twenty second by the opposition they're pushing to have it brought forward but the a.n.c. will also want to have it brought forward but under the terms so that this can look like an a and see victory they won't want this to come out looking like an opposition victory and on that front of it how damaging is all this for the a.n.c. because it's party's been tarnished hasn't it by some of the allegations of corruption its own against the what's what's the state of the n.c.a.a. and. well since you don't have it i mean since the last election really there's been this gaping void between support for zuma and support for the party the party still has his visit to all supporters and national liberation movements and the importance that it has in south africa where resume is supporters being relatively low amongst the population and that's what the party is really going to have to

move to rebuild for now is rebuild that fred ability and try and bring those people back on to the party and get that support ahead of the next election in twenty nineteen chris vanderveen very much gave the judges thank you. the international donors are meeting in kuwait tasked with trying to meet a target of one hundred billion dollars needed by the iraqi government to rebuild their country iraq has published a list of one hundred fifty seven projects it's seeking investment for to provide jobs and new homes for some of the two and a half million people displaced by the fighting i mean saddam has more from kuwait . ngo's here the conference of pledged over three hundred million dollars to various humanitarian projects inside iraq and quite the engineers say well for about a third of that bill now that number still a far cry from the one hundred billion us dollars that iraq's prime minister said he needs in order to rebuild his country but iraqi officials i've been talking to

say while the still more time they're hopeful of getting more money in from this conference some of the early signals from some of the countries like the united states of america haven't been all that encouraging you'll recall over the course of this last week also spokes person for the state department saying things like one already in the business of nation building anymore when i spoke with iraqi officials about that sort of message well they said they hope to hear a different tune from the u.s. secretary of state when he comes to kuwait they have to have response. about an arc no just to defeat but to rebuild could lead how much money would you like to see listen to listen bring potluck if he is going to get was twenty billion dollars and all the people so happy and very kind they will be very good attitude for for the outside world to respond more positively to calls like that one made

a second term most of his opponents have either been jailed or silenced but most of the talks between rex tillerson on his opposite number some of the seem to focus on security and israel on the palestinians on security because the egyptians are involved in a major crackdown on isel forces in the sinai and the u.s. is providing significant security intelligence cooperation on that front and on israel and the palestinians the u.s. needs egyptian backing for the u.s. to continue its mediation role following donald trump's decision to announce or to recognize jerusalem as the capital of israel u.s. says it still believes it has a mediating role to play on the egyptians have said that they believe the u.s. should be involved until there is a final settlement between israel and palestinians the problem is the palestinians at the moment no longer see the americans as independent arbiters in the view of the asians with the israelis. due to visit turkey later this week when the

investors during the banking crisis a decade ago in two thousand and eight to avoid a bailout from the u.k. government loggers borrowed more than sixteen billion dollars from cattery backers and other investors under the deal barclays loaned three billion dollars back to cutter holdings yes f o says that loan was i used either indirectly or directly to buy shares in barclays says this amounts to unlawful financial assistance the same charges were made against the bank's holding company last june for former senior executives have also been charged with fraud at the bank says it intends to defend itself against those charges we're joined now by robert roche is a barrister specializing in business crime and frauds of isn't quite kind of conflict complicated so for the layman what exactly is barclays done here and why is it deemed to be illegal well i think it's really it sounds very computer savvy quite simple ten years ago our financial system almost went under the british

government had to invest over one trillion pounds into banks including something like forty five billion pounds and to r.b.s. and the taxpayers salut of the twenty billion pounds barclays the learn of the big banks managed to avoid going to the government for assistance and it had its own fund raising methods in two thousand and eight it raised twelve billion pounds midst of it through katter and middle east generally in october two thousand and eight barclays lent catarrh holdings it's a three billion dollars. billions of pounds worth of shares were bought and barclays was a paid cattle holdings three hundred thirty two million pounds for advisory services what the government is saying is or there's a first say look this was unlawful financial assistance because this money was went round in a circle simply to prop up its share price which is illegal so how bad

could this be for barclays could they lose their license or was isn't really that fighting. if convicted barclays bank would be at risk of its problems with this licenses wherever it operates out the world for example in america but given that this was ten years ago has been several changes of management since and many banks have been convicted in the states of three serious offenses and they haven't lost their licenses i'd be astonished if barclays had that sort of problem and what about the investors in barclays or ordinary customers should they be actors about this whole business or is it something that's already because of what you describe as a change of management it's unlikely to affect the future of our work is unlikely to affect the future parties but who will what it might affect of course is the dividends that shareholders and barclays get from the company most shareholders and

parties aren't oligarchs living in mansions a nice fish the pension funds who invests money for retire police ministers and so on and small shareholders early age pensions and so on so barclays is convicted and loses and is find a lot of money or if it has a big reputational hit as a result we less money available to pay dividends to the shareholders and what about just kind of in the context of what this was about you mention at the start of the boxes were when they were sitting at mt bella the tax bear is interesting isn't it that they're actually in spite of it is someone is saving the taxpayer money it's still being investigated for but things like this that potentially were were illegal yes well how far it is in the public interest to prosecute a bar clears ten years after the event for something which can cause attacks per bean as a matter for somebody else somebody of them for me thank you very much indeed thank you you thank. and the vice president says washington and seoul have agreed on

seven hundred children forcibly recruited by the south sudan's national liberation movement that is new then and there they are going to day. to day life to want to go out alone or if you take it easy and that you want to work in the day except if you define you do that day kill again by force. the civil war in south sudan now into its fifth year has killed thousands and displaced millions many vulnerable kids were recruited by armed groups to fight both boys and girls such as thirteen year old sarah. i was wounded. and loans to those people and only i start to think i live day to make our land mine and i still don't know who this is to me that is put on today not today and said to leave from. mr raymond. right groups they nearly all armed groups

to clue to children to fight the south sudan's national liberation movement has recently released more than three hundred children that they were not really forced but that their condition abandoned first the dead and now all of us to get up to stay so in fact we did not didn't because it was a day maybe a day out meaning to fight does what you see we have decided also as we are now in tones of that the best sort of we decided to release them so that they can go to school. community. nearly two thousand children have been demobilized in the past five years but they are being replaced according to unicef the number of child soldiers in the armed group said on forces has been on the rise since the war in december to fifteen that despite all were inside agreeing to stop recruiting child . soldiers and leading those already enlisted but even for those who have been demobilized life is a challenge. many children who've been released have no idea where their families

are for others fighting has become a way of life the biggest challenge is reintegration it's a process that takes time to do three years for that child to go back home and resettle we still have more kids to be released so access big thing that we need more kids to be released all real concern is the reintegration of these children so that they don't get we routed again. john and sara as the they don't want to return to the battlefield but they also fear what lies ahead after their past experiences and wonder if they may be forced to fight again he will mourn al-jazeera yes south sudan. us has denied claims by israel's prime minister benjamin netanyahu that he has discussed an annexation plan for the west bank or mr netanyahu told a likud faction meeting that he'd been talking to the americans about sovereignty over settlements for some time earlier u.s. president donald trump questioned israel's commitment to making peace for the

palestinians he made the comments in an interview with an israeli newspaper owned by american billionaire and trump backer sheldon adelson in a rare rebuke to the israeli leadership the u.s. president says he isn't necessarily sure they're looking to make peace he warns israeli settlements are quote something that very much complicates and always has complicated making peace in israel to be very careful with the settlements but trump also repeats what he's been saying about the palestinian leadership he says they're not looking to make peace and threatens to withhold aid and less they agree to talks. what president trump spoke of was the idea of a quote peace deal that's very different than peace peace requires at least a modicum of justice that was not on the agenda here a deal implies ending resistance and sensually to israeli power that is not on the palestinians agenda that's been the position recently of the palestinian leadership

bringing it closer to matching the position of a wide majority of palestinian. civil society so i think what we're seeing here is certainly not the end of the u.s. role as a as an honest broker because it never was an honest broker this is simply a clear acknowledgement of that reality a state of emergency has been declared in tonga as the pacific nation braces for tropical cyclone gate to evacuation centers have been set up and a curfew has been imposed dieter's now just off the coast of the most popular sign and with winds of two hundred seventy five kilometers an hour it's expected to make a direct hit as a category five storm by bear is former president ellen johnson sirleaf has become the first woman to win the move him prize for african leadership so leaf was recognized for half its to rebuild her country after two civil wars africa's first elected female head of state senate became president of liberia in two thousand and six and served two terms the coveted five million dollar prize is only handed out
