south africa's new president several posts promises to fight corruption alice after his predecessor steps aside under a cloud of bribery claims. and other stories we're covering the saudi owned t.v. news station r.b.s. around as its right to broadcast in the u.k. . police in the u.s. charge and nineteen year old former student with seventeen counts of premeditated murder after yet another school shooting. i'm joanna gash rosco with the sports as american style ski and mckayla shifrin clinchers have gold medal at the moment. well welcome to the program our top story south africa has a new leader cyril ramaphosa has officially been sworn in. as the country's new

president the ceremony wrapped up in the last hour in cape town from opposed to succeeds jacob zuma who often months of pressure from within his own party finally resigned on wednesday a governing a.n.c. party demanded he step aside of corruption allegations or present on a post spoke in parliament after he was elected as leader he pledged to work with the opposition for the good of the country. seek to work with all political parties and who started off. was started off with wanting to have a meeting with the leaders of all political parties so that we can try and find a way of working together and i am heartened by some of the sentiments expressed here about working together which we want to touch on. well let's go live now to matheson he brings us all the latest from johannesburg

and what a few weeks it's been had been resisting pressure to resign there was plenty of intrigue and suspense but how has him as exit and now his confirmation as president been received by the people of south africa. well here in south africa the general consensus appears to be that jacob zuma is leaving is a good thing settled on the poses stepping into the role as president is also a good thing but and it is a significant point to make there is a lot still unknown about what is possible under the presidency of the pros you played the clip just there where he was talking about bringing all the opposition parties together to discuss where south africa goes from here it was a very interesting response from the opposition parties in the national assembly when he was speaking earlier on after he made that statement some of the opposition parties stood up and said that they welcomed his appointment but equally they were

very concerned that it was not the opposition parties who were the problem but in fact it was the a.n.c. and had been the jacob zuma government and administration that had been a problem and that they had been trying to flag that up for the ten years that sort of i'm opposed was jacob zuma as deputy to no avail they say they said they tried to put forward motions they tried to put forward debate to discuss the allegations of corruption that were surrounding the zuma administration but every time those were being blocked by the sea off which of course settled on what was a was a part so it's very clear that this is actually going to be the first hurdle already settled on the post is going to face how he is able to persuade the opposition parties that he will be able to keep things as transparent as possible and at the same time hold his own party together and i thank you very much for math

and covering that story for us from johannesburg well as we've been hearing so around the post has to now face a range of challenges including the unemployment and building up his country's economy ultimately though his performance will be judged by votes as an election set and next year alexia bryant has mall. president of the republic of south africa. before becoming the new leader of south africa cyril ramaphosa was seen as the chief negotiator in the final days of jacob zuma as presidency he was elected president of the governing african national congress in december by a slim margin i'll have to work to unite his divided party he'll also have to repair the political and economic damage suffered under zuma and improve the party's image after years of allegations of corruption. so the reporter is a different kind of president to anything we've had before this is a modernist this is somebody he's a negotiator he's

a recon ciliated as well but here is a man of a very clear determined purpose he is stuck with jacob zuma for how many years sitting by as zuma embarrassed the country embarrassed himself and that's. going along with what had happened in south africa has given the impression that. i don't think he is. but rahm opposer remains tainted by criticism over his involvement in american a killing in which police shot and killed thirty four striking miners six years ago . as a board member of one of the largest mining companies in south africa at the time ram opposer was accused of being behind the government's decision to break the strike he later apologized saying he had stepped in to prevent further deaths. as a politician turned businessman rahm opposer enjoys the confidence of the financial sector. unemployment rose the current c.n.n.

vase to confidence weakened and the country's credit rating went down south africa's new leader has said he plans to create jobs and this is an economic growth target of three percent for this year that's more than double the right predicted by the international monetary fund during the last election support for the a.n.c. fell to sixty two percent many hope the party of nelson mandela will be able to reverse this trend under the leadership of rahm opposer. brian al-jazeera. well. as a lecturer at the university of pretoria and the department of political science as he joins me now from johannesburg for much for taking the time to speak to us on the news hour so this is a this is a remarkably daunting task ahead for the new president ceral ram opposed to revive an ailing economy unite his party and tackle corruption as well expectations of him a bit too high. i think so i think that expectations for him are

incredibly high and i think that points to just some of the the frustration that many south africans feel after such a long period of the scandal ridden presidency and i think that people are expecting sorum a process to change things dramatically very quickly in that's going to be very difficult for him to do so one of his first tasks which i imagine he's already doing this evening is around working out how to reshuffle cabinet we know that one of the legacies that president zuma is left is a hugely bloated executive the bloated cabinet and many of whom are implicated in various corruption scandals and various issues of wasteful expenditure so one of the things that sauron pos is going to have to decide is who does he take forward to into the presidency for the coming year and also most critically who does he take forward as finance minister to give the budget speech which is taking place

next wednesday and there are so many of the poor eating and somewhat tedious but very important administrative and organizational details that he's going to have to take care of and i think it is all of that the things to take place before people will see any real effect or changes so he a very long list of things to do it has to move the economy in the right direction but a big part of that seems to be really his biggest priority is tackling corruption because that in itself will shore up investor confidence in the country very difficult to do politically when so many people within the a.n.c. have been accused of corruption. indeed and i think that what he's got the biggest thing that he's got on his side is that he's now the man in power and we know that politics is about power and people tend to gravitate to the new man in town and to the person who's in charge so i don't think that he will get as match

pushback as could have been expected that i think that many people are going to try to defend themselves and save this skins already today what has happened is that several people appeared in court on the basis of corruption that took place in one of our provinces in the free state and civil people linked to the president to the former president zuma and also to the cop to thermally so already we're seeing prosecutions and investigations and the criminal justice system in taking its course of. issues of corruption because you are saying that he has to now decide who within the cabinet he keeps and because he's corruption allegations have been so pervasive how how difficult might it be for him to emerge with a functioning government a functioning cabinet from from this. i think you will be able to one of the things that has been the rounds today is a list of people who are going to be sworn in as members of parliament in

preparation for them to be put into a needed constituted cabinet and several other people within the cabinet that are facing the axe amongst those people whose have been his one who's the mining minister who is implicated in the case that i was speaking about earlier and also betty i mean who's the social development minister and it seems as though the finance minister as well so it looks as though there is some intention to deal it least with the most of the acim the most egregious cases of corruption or people associated with corruption within the cabinet and the people that have made headlines over the last two or three years and then to deal with some of the smaller cases a bit later so we'll see i think tomorrow who stays and who goes. thank you very much appreciate your analysis. from the university of pretoria. you saudia on t.v. news station our obeah has surrendered as its right to broadcast in the united

kingdom amid allegations of faint news broadcast about cata now this comes after a country complained to the u.k. t.v. regulator ofcom over the broadcasting of fake quotes attributed to the emir of qatar last may. and sky news arabia analyze the allies and condemned a speech published online which later turned out to have been faked by hackers shortly afterwards the g.c.c. began its blockade of cattle or so let's just take a look back at how the crisis began last may the cattle news agency was hacked so that fake remarks attributed to share to mean but hunted a funny were published in which he appeared to criticize u.s. foreign policy. saudi arabia egypt in the u.a.e. responded by blocking sites belonging to cata including al jazeera a month later the email account of the u.a.e. ambassador to the us was hacked revealing links with a pro israel think tank in washington he was also found to be urging the u.s.

to move its military base out of cata two days after that bahrain the u.a.e. saudi arabia and egypt imposed a blockade on cata until it agreed to stop sponsoring terrorism groups they also demanded the closure of the al-jazeera media network cats are said it was the victim of incitement and lies last july cattle amended its anti terrorism laws and signed an accord with the united states to curb terrorism financing the us secretary of state rex tillerson praise qatar's efforts and called on the boycotting countries to lift the blockade i'm joined now by liz monro she is a t.v. and radio compliance consultant and joins me live on skype from birmingham thanks very much for taking the time to speak to us and so just for viewers everywhere for the layman what does it mean to surrender and of calm license well it basically means that you will no longer be regulated boyle on you won't be

broadcasting in the u.k. and europe and. you know you're no longer subject to their regulations but also means that you won't be able to you know you miss out on a chunk of the audience that you're after which is the reason why you got a license in the first place yes i was just going on our. our b.-o. will still have to pay the fine of one hundred twenty thousand whether you've got a lot of sense or not still subject to the fine i was just going to ask you there about the the ramifications of not broadcasting in the u k. well i suppose it depends on what a broadcast his priorities are and you know the reason why they got the license in the first place on the cd you know i'm not privy to. the channels discussions with of com but i would imagine that they wanted to.

you know get access to the sort of. diaspora and they won't be able to do that in the future unless of course they reapply for a license at some point they have breached of calm regulations prior to this could you just explain that to us. now i don't i don't remember the breaching other. of course regulations being elitist it's broadcasting code for an interview with a bahraini dissident something that you wrote about her about ts log base yes basically in the in the latest incident they come they ran an interview about two years ago now and. according to you off comets. obviously they did their investigations and they found that it was and it interview which was conducted. under torture it

wasn't something that the interview really took part in well into terribly it's called into. a test broadcast investigation and it was very unusual really because i was surprised that the complaint to offer was made under the fairness and privacy guidelines are the thought that perhaps i don't know impartiality because the person wasn't given an opportunity to give his side of the story. but what by using a fairness improve to see the complaint it means that it kind of and the fact that they've been found in breach of that means that effectively it kind of clears the ground for legal action to be taken i mean in a it's in it's in of one's book lost in code they kind of say you know this doesn't mean that you can't take legal action but i've seen it happen before i think recently there was an up held service and previously complaint for one of these

tagalong raids programs you know you've seen them many times on t.v. and somewhat because their complaint is off with off comes up held they're going to use that as the basis for launching legal action so i mean i've been discussing this with colleagues of mine people are collaborate with them and we all think that's the next step because the person who complained of this we knew exactly what they were doing and under this we read the group asking code you know from cover to cover and there are lots of paid ages so i wouldn't be surprised if that's the next i'll t.v. and radio combines consultant and his manner thank you. now watching the news hour still to come if you're his prime minister submitted his resignation following months of anti-government protests. oxfam faces the scrutiny as new claims of much of an employee sacked over allegations of sexual exploitation in haiti and the

sweet taste of success at the fifth time of trying for this john and skate to have the details later in school. the gunman who carried out a school shooting in florida has been charged by police with seventeen counts of premeditated murder nineteen year old nicholas cruz was a form of people of the larger steinman douglas high school in parkland is believed to have acted alone when he went into the school armed with a rifle and opened fire on students and teachers well president trump has addressed the nation about the shooting he avoided making any comment on gun laws but said he would work to improve school safety we are committed to working with state and local leaders to help secure our schools and tackle the difficult issue of mental health later this month i will be meeting with the nation's governors and

attorney generals we're making our schools and our children safer will be our top priority let's now speak down to gallica who's in pop land florida for us and what more have we learning about the suspect and his background. well the key thing here here is that there were plenty of warning signs and within the last couple of hours we found out that the f.b.i. and actually investigated a comment that was left online by nicholas cruz in which he said i want to grow up to be a professional school shooter they went on to say that they investigated that comment they interviewed the person who owned the you tube channel and essentially came up blank but that wasn't the only warning in this case we had teachers from the school warning the school authorities that they were scared of nicholas cruz that in fact he wasn't able to bring a backpack to school but was somehow able to buy and they offered fifteen style

assault rifle now we know that when he went inside the school he actually triggered the fire alarm himself to cause panic to make the the students and teachers come out from the classrooms and that was where the carnage really began remember this is a school that he was expelled from so he knew the building pretty well we also know that he was a loner someone who'd been receiving mental health treatment and then a dropped away from that he'd lost his friends because of the unusual postings online of him posing with weapons and posting pictures of dead animals so a picture has emerged of someone who the authorities should have been aware of but because of the second amendment in this country they were unable to do much about it but we were listening earlier to scott israel the broward county sheriff who made a fairly emotional thing for more resources to tackle issues like this let's listen . if they see something horrific language if they see person talking about i want to grow up to be a serial killer we need to have the power. to take that person and bring them

before mental health professionals at that particular time in voluntarily and have them examined. people are going to be rightfully so concerned about their rights as a my what about the rights of the students. and it's difficult to describe the impact that something like this has on the community you know especially where it involves students and children we're hearing president earlier speaking about that intersection the relationship between gun crime and mental health issues people in favor of an approach like that or do they is this igniting some debate about gun control legislation. every time something like this happens it once again reignites that debate about gun control but the simple fact is improving mental health or improving security at schools won't stop attacks like this if you're going to determine really walk into

a school with an a r fifteen assault rifle you are going to kill people that's the simple fact what a lot of people here want to see an increase in we want to see is somebody in congress do something about gun control if we look back to the las vegas shooting which i reported on. they were talking about bombing bomb stocks that was a modification to an assault rifle that essentially turns a semiautomatic weapon into an automatic weapon there was broad agreement amongst both the republicans on the democrats that that needed to happen that was some months ago nothing has happened and in this case few people believe anything will happen even after something as tragic as this. thank you very much andy calico reporting from parkland florida. if he appears prime minister haile mariam desolate and has suddenly resigned after months of anti-government protests he says he's trying to solve the crisis in his country and his resigning to be part of the solution how many ports. in a televised address and say it is it is ignition was vital for choosing the changes

necessary evil sustainable peace and democracy in ethiopia in other words an attempt to ease rising tensions in the country because unity for which in my circle of unrest and political crisis have led to the loss of lives and the displacement of many i see my stepping down as vital in the effort to carry out reforms that lead to sustainable peace largely seen as a placeholder on a consensus figure highlight embezzling has led if you have to since two thousand and twelve following the death of former prime minister and the architect of if you press a recent economic boom melissa. he rolls from relative obscurity as an academy to president of the solvent region before being appointed foreign minister who's an deputy prime minister his departure follows the current wave of unrest on a national state of emergency doubt and last. ethiopia's lodge's regions only on how to have witnessed must have demonstrations in recent months with protesters

mainly made up of youths calling for political and economic reform and and to state corruption. in recent weeks the government has a list of thousands of opposition supporters from jail but a protest of continued years of unaccountability and at this isolation of the country's politics of push if you appear to tipping point injustice repression minute full democracy some say have instilled a sense of despondency particularly among the few places you are driving many to view protests as the only viable means of bringing about meaningful change don't going to stop also lead to dip divisions within the governing coalition with some of the few pence powerful and it's coming to see the prime minister as weak and locking in for hyla money i'm surprised this ignition may not so it's all over with your press protesters but for some it's us but the how to do.

well at them was the founder and editor of pride dot com an independent news website about ethiopia joins me live now from washington thanks for taking the time to speak to us did the prime minister's resignation come as a surprise to you i think the timing of his resignation is certainly very surprising because we knew that he's going to be replaced at the next congress which is i think scheduled to take place in august but nobody i don't think expected that this will come so soon but again you know it was preceded by a week of protests in their own marriage in victory rallies and celebrations of released recently released opposition leaders from prison the timing is surprising but his departure is not. as you pointed out it is the political unrest in the country been going on for some time and. it's i mean what do you think prompted the

resignation of bennett vis point in time could there be some sort of instability or division within the government. certainly there are divisions within the government and the power struggle within the ruling coalition the ethiopian people's revolutionary democratic front has been playing out into the public has been spilling into the public and i think there is no debate between an assertive reform minded leadership certainly in orania the people's democratic organization that has essentially accepted most of if not all of the demands of the protesters and as you know or has been the epicenter of the protest over the last three years. so there are those leaders versus the all the guardian some in the military and intelligence who clearly want to maintain the status quo so there are those divisions but certainly i think the pressure from the streets in the from the

protesters in relentless refusing to go away despite the fact that it has put a state of emergency in place which lasted for ten months a risk to tens of thousands of people some of whom were released this week and mr know how she was working someone wanted a new set of three just one thing you said about. the different vested interests and the power centers you have the politicians the military intelligence services does that a change of prime minister necessarily mean a change in governance or does it just give the regime a different face. i think we would have to wait and see who they put forward and i think who. is going to be very crucial now from the perspective of the oromo the largest ethnic group in the country. the president of iran is that is the clear front runner but with the with the intelligence in the

military in the power centers a law for law to ascend would have to wait and see but i think beyond that. the government has to engage in critical reforms in. the repeal the replacement of the untied terrorism law the media though the enjoy a law some of these laws were in this room and televised to put numb large numbers of people in jail and i think the government needs to reform those things and also send a clear signal by electing a successor that could bring about a proper legitimacy legitimacy essentially is what the current government lacks in modern lacks well mama drama thank you very much joining us that from washington it watching the news hour live from london much more still ahead for you. morning morgan chang supporters remember zimbabwe's opposition leader and his

legacy and look to the future. devil is in the diet the newly discovered link between ultra processed foods and cancer. and that in sport the wimbledon champion is in action at a cattle open in doha we'll tell you how she caught on. welcome back as we take a look at weather conditions across the levant and western parts of asia it's all looking rather unsettled at the moment one there of cloud bringing snow clearing away another area brace of rain across parts of iraq in particular so baghdad will see some showers and then we've got low pressure moving in from the west into the levant region so certainly for syria and lebanon it could turn very wet indeed some snow higher elevations some strong wind or rather unpleasant weather conditions are

looking quite stormy house to be said further towards the south quite a bit of cloud and we can pick up on the clouds move across the arabian peninsula so northern areas seeing the clouds during the course of friday the cloud further south during the course of our weekend but with the flow coming out from the south sort of at low levels temperatures are way above average and david could be looking at twenty eight degrees as a maximum here in doha so it should be fine we can do that could be again a little bit of lifted dust or sun coming up from the size of visibility probably not too good should be fine on the other side of the potential with highs of thirty three expected in mecca down into southern portions of africa we have seen some heavy rain affecting parts of south africa we've also seen some shall write to vittie across a mozambique as we look at the forecast because though for parts as in bob it could be quite wet highs of twenty five in harare. what makes this most of this era we're living for so you know this is really an

attack on itself is a lot of misunderstanding a distortion of what free speech is supposed to be about the context it's hugely important we have a right to publish if you don't have to be offensive or provoke people to. setting the stage for a serious debate. up front at this time on al-jazeera. one of the really special things about working for al-jazeera is that even as a camera woman i get to have so much empathy and contribution to a story i feel we cover this region better than anyone else working for a very generously liberally particularly because you have a lot of people that are divided on political issues we are we the people we live to tell the real stories just mandate is to deliver in-depth journalism we don't feel inferior to the audience across the globe.

mention of gun control. now retired archbishop a nobel laureate desmond tutu has quit his role as ambassador for oxfam after the charity was hit by sexual misconduct allegations the u.k. government has accused of a lack of transparency and threaten to cost off its funding now that followed revelations in the times newspaper last week the four star had been sacked and three had resigned over allegations of sexual exploitation involving prostitutes in haiti two thousand and eleven among those allowed to resign was oxfam's country director at the time since emerged that he had been the subject of similar allegations in chad and in liberia where he was dismissed by the british charity money in two thousand and four and then today. has revealed that one of the men who was fired in haiti was rehired as a consultant later that year in ethiopia. well alice evans is a lecturer in aid and development to king's college london she joins me now in the

studio thanks very much for coming in to speak to us and so just running through some of the latest developments there allegations of sexual misconduct and exploitation a troubling enough but then for those at the center of some of these allegations to have not only been rehired in a different role but also survive within a charity or an ngo is perhaps more wiring how is it. you know how does it come to this is really shocking and horrifying and i think what we've seen with me too is that social harassment is global it's across all industries across all sectors and organizations always try to cover it up they will rehire people they will question reports of abuse to preserve their good names whether it's a university a political party a church they will try to cover it up and so we don't see it happening and so now we see some of these charities oxfam being threatened with funding with the u.k. government saying that they would potentially withdraw funding i mean is that the sort of incentive then charities in n.g.o.s need in order to improve the culture

and internal kind of processes within their organizations for dealing with this i mean that's a really great question i mean how do we incentivize people to take sexual harassment seriously i mean for me i think there's a real danger here of state goes you know which is we've seen with me too that this is job well is in every single industry it's in every single sector and the danger of focusing so much on oxfam is that we fail to recognise the need for external we need really we need a public body that should be ordering all these organizations so for example in politics the labor party in the conservative party have realised that they can't conduct their own organizations because whenever there's material the whips will keep it to themselves or news it over the m.p.'s so now they've set up a parliamentary standards commission and that's exactly what we need we need a public body that's independent that's external that can be ordered. these organizations so it's really a total destruction to be scapegoats in your spam it's global and we need

a public body you know we've seen it in effect really every industry from broadcasting business politics and sport and also we have to remember the very important work that many of these organizations including oxfam in doing some of the most difficult parts of the world but i suppose for some people it does make it just all the more troubling that because these are organizations that a deal with the world's most vulnerable they just can't afford to get it wrong in this way it is really troubling him it's so disappointing i mean personally i'm disheartened when i see it in any organization where we sit in the catholic church when we see it in the labor party because no organization should condone tolerate etc such a harassment we need proper due diligence it's totally or thank you very much for sharing your thoughts with us appreciate it alice evans lecturer in a development at kings college here in london well now a british football coach barry bennell has been convicted of forty three counts of

sexual abuse and had pleaded guilty to another seven and algis their investigation has revealed new information about one of his most high profile players gary speed committed suicide in two thousand and eleven is family deny use abused and say they still don't know why he killed himself but as deborah davies reports some of gary speed's boyhood teammates believe they know part of the answer as a highly successful premiership player a wales international and then manager gary speed's death stone to the footballing world. in his youth he played in various teams linked to barry been l. he was first convicted of abusing boys twenty years ago after gary speed died there was speculation he'd been one of been ells victims in a tape obtained exclusively by al-jazeera but nel denies that he and i think it's going to result in an easy problem. but boys who

played alongside gary speed and wear them selves abused believe differently i saw gary coleman go in various life he was one son different he was one shoulder gifts he was one that was going on different holidays and different tours sets him apart emerging with fire with other young people if you ask me i would say that jerry will have suffered abuse at the hands of barry we've also spoken to more than one witness with even more direct knowledge because it's so sensitive an actor is reading one man's words on a few occasions got he was in the same bad battery would abuse one of us then turn over and then abuse ilda you are absolutely certain that gary speed was abused by the now hundred percent while lying on point nine percent because he literally both in the bed at the same time. you don't actually witness sidewise but basically the

same process is happening to the other person. in the trial this just ended gary speed was named as one of four players coached by been who've died our investigation has revealed one of them mark hazel dein was a former teammate of gary speed he also committed suicide two other players died off to troubled lives from problems with drink and drugs but now is due to be sentenced on multiple counts of sexual abuse later this month deborah davis al-jazeera london. well you can see deborah davis's full report football's wall of silence here on al-jazeera at twenty hundred g.m.t. in just over an hour's time it's also repeated on friday at twelve hundred chante and on saturday at one hundred and then again at twenty hundred g.m.t. . and i'm moving to zimbabwe where the main opposition party has named nelson chamisa as acting president of the party your place as

a look at that they looked at the diet of more than one hundred thousand people and those who eat more things like cakes crisps and ready meals are at a higher risk of developing the disease are explains from london. what have you eaten today because what we innocently consume could be harming us. we've known for several years that certain food such as processed meat can increase our risk of disease but now french researchers have made a worrying link between ultra processed food and cancer western diets are characterized by their intake of. an average of it could get to fifty percent of ultra processed foods in our in our diets even a healthy product nutritionally can be processed because it can have food or preservatives or food coloring to or. or sweeteners so what do

dieticians mean by ultra processed food and how do they differ from processed and processed foods on processed food or in what we call food is things like fruits vegetables that are wrong not feed those kind of things then to take in not chop he might have things like milk and then the next level up from that is things like bread so bread in the olden days used to be made of three things and now it's made of quite a few more things so that now fits into a process you know pretty processed products and then we have things which are just made. things that you wouldn't necessarily recognize as food at all there's an awful lot of ingredients in this none of them really look like food at all said out with into the out process very well the ultra processed foods contain artificial ingredients designed to keep them fresh on the shelves and make them look more appetizing very include ready meals cakes must produce bread and instant noodles. there's an old piece of advice you should only food that your grandparents would
