welcome back from iraq the top story say on al-jazeera iran has told in year end it will increase its uranium enrichment capacity and this will be within the limits of the twenty fifth day nuclear deal. essential rescue effort is continuing in guatemala after the eruption of a four a go volcano at least sixty five people have died more than three thousand on are being housed in temporary shelters and hungary's parliament has begun debating a bill that would make his a criminal offense to help asylum seekers as fos of a crackdown on immigration by prime minister victor all bonds right when the government.
4:05 am
cattle insists it won't back down a year into a blockade imposed by neighboring nations saudi arabia the u.a.e. egypt and bahrain trick of the gulf crisis accusing cattle of supporting terrorism doha strongly rejects the claim meanwhile catalysts foreign minister has told al jazeera that recent threats of military action by riyadh if doha buys russian military hardware are unjustified do you believe that qatar could face an attack from saudi arabia first formed just with with us make it very clear that the purchase of. any military equipment is a sovereign decision which no country has. anything to do with so there is no legitimate grievance behind this letter and threatening to cut that violating the international law by writing all the international norms and. most importantly it's violating. the charter which is the countries of the g.c.c.
4:06 am
should not launch an attack against each other so we believe that this letter has nor any legal basis to justify. any action we have been subject to a unilateral measure which was taken by by the saudis unfortunately as reckless behavior from what do you make of the saudi claim that it would disturb the balance of power it represents an escalation for kata to obtain the s four hundred says well it's unfortunate that they see this as as destabilisation because other option is not of presenting any threat for the saudis but what most importantly we have to look at the behavior of the saudis since the past year when we see the actions how it's going in him and or what they have done with the prime minister and recently. the president of france himself he said that he saved the
4:07 am
country he saved the region from a war according to the information you have do you believe this report in the press that saudi the saudi king ready made this threat do you think it's credible world we are seeking for a form of confirmation from the french government and have you received any response what are they said to their response. should be to more. if it's confirmed what would your response be to the south well we are going to respond legally by. the response of a country that this is not violating international law and as a threat for our country which is not acceptable by the international community joining us live in the studio is our senior political analyst moment the shower. just tease apart a little bit a year on a so where where at now with his backing here especially in the light of the fact that katter qatar is now buying we think these russian anti missile system. but it
4:08 am
also has an american air base and it's. you know it's sort of paradoxical that just when the region is really descending into total chaos and war and lots of . conflicts by proxy and so on so forth that the most stable region region within the greater middle east the gulf region would have to you know would have to suffer from such tensions unneeded tensions really because a year ago now we know for a fact that the cutter musicians who was hacked that there was a conspiracy in fact to undermine cutter. to plant fake news and fake statements and to eventually humiliate and besiege it and take it over now all of that failed now when that fails after the besieging
4:09 am
countries imposed thirteen very difficult conditions but basically it couldn't be met because they do fight it's the sovereignty of an independent nation it's very difficult for those countries to back out to. climb down the tree as it were because the bar is too high they are too proud qatar is a much smaller nation and was able to pull out of all of that so i think now we're in perilous is basically qatar has not lost their refuse to admit their loss and so which is going to wait and see and with the americans in september trump will mediate a summit you know against the backdrop of the united nations assembly giving saudi arabia's up to when it turns around and says if this happens they get a system i understand the saudis on that as well the russians have said yes we think they've said yes catwalk and have it so it starts to threaten action of some
4:10 am
description i mean is that a serious threat ok so in us far as i know at this point in time is that this is a french press report lou and another for us in france reporting about a letter received by the french president from the saudi king but i don't think qatar has had an official confirmation of all of that meaning that the saudis have have not come out publicly and threaten qatar of invasion if they would purchase these missile defense systems so. clearly this for the time being is part of the psychological warfare that's going on you know threatening cover with various things until it behaves as the neighboring countries want to it's also part of a psychological pressure on the likes of france where presumably the letter went that president mccrone put more pressure in qatar because as you know president trump and the european union not exactly sided with qatar but certainly insists
4:11 am
that this conflict need to be resolved diplomatically and for all practical purposes they have all now know that the three conditions important covered by the blockade in countries are not reasonable not actionable imposed on the sovereignty of qatar and hence they have to be a diplomatic way out of this without insulting anyone with everyone sitting face and still a blockade continues here i'm isha thank you very much. form a senior u.n. official has been appointed as madagascar's new prime minister christiane unsay will lead a unity government in a bid to resolve the country's political crisis after weeks of violent protests over electoral reforms aramis hasa has more. opposition party say they had a list of names people who they wanted to be made prime minister chris yeah and say was on that list some of the opposition say they had he's been made prime minister
4:12 am
others say they are need things and they're planning a way forward the last time the opposition won happy they had a massive protest the police opened fire used live ammunition and some people were killed the reason why the opposition were protesting is because there were some in their true laws changed to allow two former presidents ravalomanana and russia will mean to be able to participate in this year's elections they also want those elections to be much earlier in the year and not in of him as originally planned now if these elections are brought earlier in the year will that make a difference some political analysts say yes maybe it could it could in the political crisis but others are saying nothing really will change madagascar's a country that's run by big names a few influential powerful families one power bill to anything to get it and to hang on to it and they feel that it's no longer about the people for example what's happening now is this so much poverty in madagascar there's high unemployment young girls as young as twelve thirteen are dropping out of school trying to marry land

barons many vanilla farmers because they feel is their way out of poverty the army has threatened politicians and said if they don't resolve this little crisis then they will intervene if european has agreed to end a two decade long feud with eritrea stemming from a deadly border conflicts the two countries have remained at odds since a war in one thousand nine hundred ninety eight reduced spew to the area including the town of bad me on tuesday ethiopia ruling party said it would fully implement a two thousand and two decision by a un backed boundary commission the divided up the contested territory and handed eritrea. spain's former prime minister mariano raha says he will step down as leader of the conservative people after fourteen years he was ousted as prime minister last week when he lost a no confidence vote in parliament after several former party officials were found guilty of corruption from madrid to report. some say political careers ended
4:14 am
failure but mariano rajoy has been swift and b.h.p. removed no confidence vote he described as a very grave president by mr buck you see he told his senior colleagues at the people's party headquarters of madrid it was time to go. you know to be in show get you had one moment i think the time has come to bring this to end and for the people's party to continue under someone else's leadership. it was an emotional farewell after more than three decades in politics but he will remain in place in a caretaker role until a special party conference decides who will replace him. it was the shadow of what judges called institutionalized corruption within his own party the brought him down but the whole he said the socialist government was extremely weak and spain was now facing an uncertain future. in a bitter attack on new prime minister petro sanchez he said
4:15 am
a frankenstein government was being formed with disastrous travelling companions the nationalists uncatalogued separatists who backed his no confidence motion. so but political scientists believe with a new leadership the people's party could reinvigorated space and distance itself from the taint of corruption the government of the them never faced these political crises they used the mundane all departed the as he was before the make any kind of regeneration of the party so the socialist prime minister spent the day naming new members of his cabinet they included a catalan as foreign minister who had opposed last year's the session referendum to form a catalogue of president carter's push for more fighting extradition in germany described him as a man who had escalated hate in catalonia not an encouraging start of the sanchez

4:21 am
ok and i'm really could be little and here in the stream today will returning the white owned line to black africans help south africa well that's the country's plan for land expropriation without compensation. the african national congress says it wants to take back land without compensation from white farmers and transfer ownership to black citizens the plan aims to reduce
4:22 am
racial disparities in land ownership caused by the nation's history of land dispossession where colonizers forced black south africans to live and rule reserves white south africans still own the majority of lines of the country that is eighty percent black since the end of apartheid in one thousand nine hundred four the government has been slowly buying back what the redistribution to black farmers but government critics say the process is taking too long and the sport and this will change so how should south africa right the wrongs of the past as far as land is concerned with us to talk about this important. she is an associate professor of law at northwestern university where she teaches land reform indigenous law and property nor. is a sociologist and also in cape town we have ben cousins research of public land and agrarian studies at the university of the west and hello everybody good to have he . thinks a good evening and thanks for being here we got several questions online from our
4:23 am
and community when we said we were doing this show about what expropriation is here is just one here's another from a west wanting to know the present generation of farmers and how they got this land we actually got an answer on twitter this is a who says land expropriation without compensation to happen when the ducks that glitters arrived they never purchased the land but expropriate it from the natives and forcefully removed them from the land obviously this current generation inherited the land from their forefathers that stole it apartheid legacy is still alive even after the fall of the parts a system ben he says expropriation haas to happen after he gave us a brief history lesson there where do you fall on that argument. because. about sixty seven percent of all agricultural land is owned by white farmers. in the past it's mean even higher percentages this is the result of
4:24 am
a history of land disposition if you like land theft which it helped to create incredibly unequal and oppressive system that not only part of it but the colonial era before that it's undoubtedly a chief cause of poverty and inequality in our society today and we have to do something about it and there's no doubt that we need a wide ranging land reform program the slowness of land reform program means that suddenly explode creation of land with or without compensation is the big issue of the moment but that history lives so that it's a very real history it's very apparent to many south africans and we have to do something about it. i want to say this south africa had lima bean booing hotaling screaming and chaos welcome to the land expect question debate and over the top have. the people. and. yeah law i mean that probably refers
4:25 am
to the debate that's happened in parliament where they discussed this very issue there's a motion before the haas which is essentially calling for land expression of our compensation to be investigated as a means of. speeding up land reform so the descriptors are probably very accurate or into how that debate in the house happened but the question really becomes this how's the debate happening in society you know how's the bait happening in the spaces where people don't have access to the media don't have access to you know social media even to be able to voice their their opinions and there's a lot of research and data that shows that actually this isn't maybe the most front of mouth topic but most of the africans are talking about and that actually unemployment and poverty up to get issues but again i do agree with ben cousins the good prophet he says that you know land this position historically has played a major impact was had a major impact of course on how. and the income distribution happens in this
4:26 am
country to save him make a really important point how our everyday south africans discussing as you say they aren't but when they are being asked about what they want about wonderful didn't have the facts. absolutely i think we all as of africans have a general grasp of the history just position as country the issue really and the real debate becomes how do you fix this do you take a radical approach which is very symptomatic of those countries left or as i call them twenty lefties really who believe that the state has the power to just possess people without compensation because that's what really means expropriation of our compensation is essentially handing power over to the state to conduct a property from individuals and families that society without compensation or really do we find in other approaches more rational which allows for
4:27 am
a more win win outcome in society and i put it to the guests and everybody here that most of the africans are looking for a win win solution one which is rational and legal and also secures property rights for all citizens black or white. when we talk about land expectoration in south africa another country one of your neighbors comes up often in conversation a course here brings it up expropriating land without conversation is impossible take it from zimbabwe this idea that what happened in zimbabwe so let's go back to the year two thousand there was agood gary agrarian reform so many of them barbarians farmers were forced out and then the farming economy. basically the the the money of the farming company completely lessened bob and now they are really struggling and that's what i mean citing some of those thomas back to zimbabwe zimbabwe that i do that i mean if you don't like that. i don't think that's actually an accurate depiction of what the radical land reform in zimbabwe
4:28 am
did have some negative consequences namely the suspension of the rule of law while learned a few patients are taking place and the flight of capital but in many respects the agricultural economy is not collapse at all in fact many of the beneficiaries of land reform are producing quite well in particular cash crops such as cotton in years gone by and. the burka smallholder farmers are very productive the lack of supply of inputs so the result of that where the problems in the economy is a problem but i think one also is exaggerating the extent to which white farmers are being allowed back i don't think that's happening on any kind of scale at all i think it's really less than ten and i think the real lesson from some bubbly is that you can do a radical and redistribute learn to smallholder farmers if you supply them with enough support they can be very productive and that's
4:29 am
a very positive listen we can take them over the negative lesson is that we should do it within the rule of law we shouldn't have human rights abuses and we have to have it overseen by an effective state which is not captured by. corrupt interests or elite interests that's my view on this and bobby situation i did live there for eight years and worked for the department of agriculture and did my ph d. there and. how do i balance your superior knowledge and perhaps a little biased then perhaps. although i am also glad that this person on twitter seems to agree with you because you seem to be an expert on this and it is sad as at this stage no one in the ruling party is proposing anything like that zimbabwe's past track land reform political and social conditions in the two countries are entirely different i mean is that how you see it as well. yes you know turkey i think has been saved we still have the rule of law and it's quite a firm rule of law we have recourse to the to the courts if it's necessary perhaps
4:30 am
we are leaving too much to the courts but some people argue but i think what is happening in south africa is actually quite a positive moment i know it's very delicate i know a lot of people are scared but we are revisiting our ninety ninety four fact that we made as a country i think that same understood till it made the point earlier this year that it will be saved maybe the issue is not really just about land all even about land at all it is about nationhood it's about social cohesion i can't remember these exact words but we are we are looking as a country and how we did or did not address the injustices of the past and what went wrong and how do we renegotiated them because of put it very nicely on friday night he said we are the next generation we cannot you know look back at my day a lot and say i made all these mistakes because they did what they need to do and we as the next generation we need to do think how are we going to go forward and i think that's a very positive point to be at at the moment and then to frame that the land
4:31 am
conversation in that sort of. conversation is quite interesting because that's basically a symptom of all the other things that is going on in the country and in my opinion i mean you mentioned ten back on who's joining us right now from johannesburg south africa. overall south african lawyer who has been advising the government on land reform and he's also the author of the land is out south africa's millions and the birth of consequent constitution to mecca when you're looking at the risks associated with land reform or how south land reform what concerns you the most about double the job done. well i think there are primarily three areas of concern from where i stand the first area of concern is the lack of a clear plan by the government i think for the past twenty four years we have not had a quote here and clear vision about what the government actually turns to doing in
4:32 am
order to realize land reform the second area of concern is short termism it is the idea that. despite the fact that we've got clear policies clear laws and clear legislation when the government fails to implement those laws and legislation usually results to short term use in other words you hear discussions about there is a need to change the constitution so i do get worried about adherence to the rule of law and then the third area of concern is this year's no pace of wonder for i think the that's wrong tomorrow and is quite clear across the board that the pace is too slow and ought to be moving faster and this no we are the greater the potential for social instability. so i think i'd say kemet again and said i think that's a similarity between southern african zimbabwe in fact conditions as and recent
4:33 am
traces in some ways very different but the strong political symbolism of land is a similarity between the two and if we don't deal with the land issue in south africa it's not going to go away it stands for a lot of things but it is also a very real issue in its own right in urban areas and occupations are taking place because people elect places to build houses for themselves of course that's partly a housing issue and a serious issue not just the land issue but being expressed as a land issue and it's a very serious issue and unless we deal with it rationally populism which was definitely present in zimbabwe could again. dearly. distort our political system there are real dangers as well as the opportunities that will mean playing up i do a group process with profit and the good advocate thing you know one has to
4:34 am
remember that land restitution as an issue that is has a moral imperative to it you know we come from a country where and really when i when i when i talk about being a moral imperative you know it speaks to it being issue of justice if we are to move forward as a country if we are to get this issue right then we've got to actually put in place the rational legal framework which allows for the states to rectify its past wrongs because ultimately the disposition of mostly black people in this country happened at the hands of a coercive manipulates of states where there was a colonial state or a a predicate states you know we have to fix that issue and unfortunately you have a situation where and this is me agreeing with the kids that i told me in sorry my lights have gone off. is that you know the state hasn't. a very big role to play here in terms of giving people access to justice and justice can take one of two
4:35 am
forms either way a return of land which was stolen and has been proven through irrational preserves to have been stolen to its rightful owners or actually compensation for it because there's another component of that we also speak about love everybody wants to go back to an agrarian form of life and again when we speak about this issue it's not just about rural land don't get me wrong it's also just position that happened but . just the simple point you know we have to get the process or other simply put compensation is love the stumbling block to lump reform in this country so we also have to move the debate away from this almost weird obsession with compensation and . eliminate occur in the end and the we can situations and. as i say i would also like to come in here because i think we also focus a lot of government and what government needs to do while i think we should also look at as a society and i mean we've got big agricultural unions like every say they've got
4:36 am
plans they say you know in certain circumstances private type of land reform worked we need to assess that we need to assess if things like that is also possible because there are many ways of acquiring land enough transferring land but i think we need to move away from this going to say should of purely being an issue about expropriation with or without compensation because i think in this whole conversation which is been a great conversation we have been going to the problems with land reform and it is fairly evident that it is not really express creation well mostly black i mean it has little use its exaggeration power as. yes and then and then i mean i agree with you that we've got a problem of the state that has not tested the transformative potential of the constitution but i think we also have another problem of private land owners that essentially hike up the prices of land when they know that the state is
4:37 am
a likely customer so it seems to me that part of the solution in fact a central part of the solution is actually a reduction in the prices of lent and that sometimes means that some portions of the land should be acquired by the state with no compensation so the real question it seems to me that if you want to address this on the basis the market related. land redistribution program simply does not work we have had twenty four years of trial and error when i asked the minister of land of as about a month ago how much money the state had paid for lender for the amount of stock that something like fifty four billion read and if we have paid fifty four billion dollars and we've achieved less than ten percent i don't know what the figure then can help us with the virtue of luck and ten percent of land distribution it's clear that a market related solution does not work. i want to jump in here because i hear i
4:38 am
hear the discussion and you guys are having and i think of course it is very important to hear what south african think about this on this issue but i wanted to bring in what others outside of south africa are seeing on this issue and it's headlines like this south african group under fire for lobbying us for white rights a group representing many white afrikaners has gone to the u.s. to lobby for the interests of white farmers and i bring that up only because lots of people online are talking about this issue the issue of murders of the white farmers and as for these farmers that have been in the headlines i think the issue has been captured by our right sure there's a problem with violent crime but it affects everyone black and white and attempts to frame it as part of a white genocide or divisive and dangerous and other person to eat it and this is a florist we actually pitched the topic of today show wanting us to sort the facts from fiction he says what impact do campaigns like this p.r. campaign have on south africa's global standing if countries believe south africa
4:39 am
is creating a culture that is resulting in a racially biased for murders could it lead to same actions ben do you want to take that on. yes you have read an article in newsweek recently getting that whites should stop panicking about len suggesting that farm where does not happening on a large scale and i started to get hate mail from the right in the us i don't think it's very helpful and i think there are many white elegance to us saying what can we do to make this work how can we part of this be part of the solution not part of the problem in fact there are people of ring to donate land and i think we have the best ability in our and present from a process of a national conversation about land in new. countrywide nationwide conversation which sets us on a new path that is the real and it is a feeling of. sorry sorry of him to chipping bain i think i think we should also bring in that there is
4:40 am
a dispute about i mean i must always put this disclaimer there that far but it is happening it's and every life lost is problematic but we need to see this in context and that issue of farm it is has been framed and been linked to the expression relation abates and so it was framed and these are upcoming i think the word that we must use now is cleaning up white people the stats are not clear so that's the biggest problem in this debate we do know that there is a problem with far far too little safety people are vulnerable but but the problem is that this has been lead to the expression debate to say that there is a decisive drive to drive white people out of the land and i don't think these evidence of that and i think that's what been also tried to do and i also tried to do the past four weeks and it's a very difficult position to be in because it's a very emotive issue people are getting killed. we have this conversation it sometimes sounds as if you are. not respecting the issue of problem it is
4:41 am
so but i think it's very important ultimately we're not going to have. call it what it is i mean it is mysterious to cleaned out there is a genocide against white people sort of a complete mystery and those people who are very great at that impression they were causing mischief and nothing else to makkah the starting stephen by. show that we are at a twenty year low. in one thousand nine hundred seven there were one hundred fifty meters last year twenty seventeen there were forty three that's to the high number an acceptable number but it's not a number that is genocide by any stretch of the imagination to america and to document you mentioned agri sai we talked to them and asked them if they would be part of this conversation they sent us a statement about land reform. and they said that the slow pace of land reform can be attributed to other things such as inadequate budget poor plantation and
4:42 am
corruption but they are interested in how can they work and help land reform it's a really important topic right now and such a hot topic in parliament this is truly is malema this is back. when you can hear his frustration have a listen. there is not in this parliament can do. without you people are quick and will require no permission from you from the president from among one we don't care we can do whatever you want to do while you want to tell us whether we can work a pilot or not we're going to occupy learned south african party learned that and we are the normal god can we do not mind i took this is. honorable. tobacco useless parliament it is your job to advise the government right now i am
4:43 am
not clear even after thirty minutes what that is about a more extreme equitable distribution of land for all south africans and especially black south africans unclear. you know what this was my entry point to the discussion that what we've been experiencing in the past twenty four years is the lack of a clear and of course here and plan around. the messages that have been coming most recently are moving us towards a clear up have our own land reform at the very least what we have at the moment is that there is an acknowledgement of the necessity to move along with urgency and that in the second aspect quite apart from the edge and that the senate asperger's will recognise the limits of restitution and restitution essentially means historical claims to the land is to recognise the limits of that process and to move towards a dispensation that is based on land hunger so i think if we address that and then of course the final part
