knowledge them but he but he organized this party official that are not having any of that they say there is no way after ten years of bed bath and cognac live and not. only at all the people who have come to welcome him home these are people who never expected to see him any time soon and as he then i feel very much of a lot of people i think that he. was a cold we will mend some to the politics of the country they say that right now the present the. will also can galvanize the opposition to rally behind one candidate he had a lot of experience he was a form of vice president in two thousand and six he was the run of the runner up to president joseph kabila in that election

a lot of people say that he was vocal stolen time and also a lot of people here in the r p i you talk to will say that this whole hi fi fi international criminal court trial was politicized getting a lot of sympathy from that so. many people here are saying that he is the change that the country needs he can help the opposition move forward but of course. people kind of put an end in the ruling party other than the opposition as well quite uncomfortable with his presence here is a few obstacles to him run. in elections though what does bamber himself or his team say about how they plan to get around those obstacles. but yes there are some of the call there is a possibility that he might be a struck off that he might be barred from running for president he wants to prevent his paperwork that is the load that an individual had to be in the country i

yet to contest for any electoral commission he's been away for ten years also the fact that you have a pending case an international criminal court that's very that could work against him as well back we're being told that he had his lawyers down by when that happened they will be arguing that away from the country was because of that and that is that he could not avoid of course those reasons that i've given you here. the electoral commission the legitimacy to be able to invalidate his candidate feet but he also has a right to go to quite a lot of what people are mostly concerned about if he support them how do they take any that measure to buy him from running for an election talking to some of them say that they were not elected anybody that can carry them back from the people and running for the cadence of the country. all right katherine sawyer there thanks so

a self-styled anarchist as long as you have the right to keep and bear arms you have the right to make them in june the trump administration abruptly gave up on a years long legal battle to prevent him from putting the gun plans on line wilson's diagrams allow a variety of firearms models to be made by anyone including convicted criminals mentally disturbed people or children this means that more people who are dangerous will have guns and they will hurt more people with them in three d. printer technology machines extrude minuscule layers of plastic or resin that gradually build up three dimensional objects using computer patterns we asked professional three d. printer peterman adi to make one for us. consumer printers are available for as low as three hundred dollars so anybody that has three hundred dollars can essentially print one the designs have already appeared online and have been downloaded thousands of times three d. printed guns have no serial numbers so they're untraceable they don't require

permits or background checks so anybody can have one and because they're plastic they can go through any metal detector law enforcement officials are opposed and president donald trump questioned the action of his own administration tweeting that the idea of three d. printed guns quote doesn't seem to make much sense but the guns may be less dangerous to the public then to the person wielding them in tests by the government firearms oversight agency three d. printed guns often exploded when fired they are not as strong or precisely machined as metal guns it could explode on you you could lose a finger you could use a hand. it could catch fire there is so many things that can go wrong which is why printing it is one thing using it is an entirely separate thing democratic lawmakers are calling on trump to overturn his administration's decision and are introducing legislation to ban the weapons but in a last minute decision

adoption of the parliamentary motion to explore bridge learnt without compensation we have seen fierce public debates in south africa about these parliament has undertaken consultation with the broader public in south africa in the consultations are still underway saw the the message that seems to be coming out through the consultation there are different views and different takes by various people in south africa of various communities and there are some who actually have a good agency led government could pursue this policy goal of land reform without necessarily having to go the constitutional amendment route saw one would say that there was some element of nonces sitting in on these however the opposition party the first has been very critical on this and actually i q's in the a.n.c. to some extent and i kissing some members of the n.c. to be big shaking on this thing trying to neutralize the parliamentary result

bhushan to explain amend to explain it lend without compensation i think that has created this environment where the a.n.c. now find it very necessary to be firm to come out just as they did last night that they are going to amend the constitution they're trying to take the debate away from the five and they're trying to say that they are in charge of police and there will actually defend that kind of a policy the controversy however is dart consultations are underway one expects some kind of restrained i expected to restraint so that they can hear what the people are saying compile a parliamentary report on this issue for the. position as the guardians do you think that the a.n.c. will be successful when they come under some criticism for not waiting for the parliamentary consultation process to end. well there will be criticize for

that. they may not be taking discussions. because if you take it seriously you will wait before you take that position there will be criticised and i wouldn't be surprised if some of the opposition parties and some of the organizations within the country would be willing to test this cause it is not amendment do court it is likely to be one of the most fiercely contested amendment in the post up at the dispensation thank you very much now iran has a chronic shortage of water it's estimated there's some form of drought in ninety seven percent of the country some blame the weather others think it's us conspiracy and the veyron mental experts blame government mismanagement reports from to her on every day a small group of iranian farmers meet up at the edge of their town once where the fields of despond lush with crops now barren land by

assessments before building dams and piping water around the country one solution has been to try using less water for things like these but most of iran's water is used on farms where old ways of watering crops means waste on an industrial scale environmental experts also say the government needs to take the problem more seriously. first we need to revise some laws and adopt the procedure for the stable development and management of water resources so we can better preserve water and control usage so we can be hopeful to have better conditions in the next one or two decades even by summer standards these river beds in the north of the capital are drier than usual that's being felt downstream where they feed ancient underground springs. from up here you can really get a sense of the impact of the country's water shortage on public facilities in just twenty years a single generation what was once a sizable body of water has been reduced to little more than

a wading pool. people who live here say they had to plug part of the pool to collect enough water for kids to play and escape the summer heat. some of them are old enough to remember when the pool was full. i remember my childhood i mean my friends used to bike here and swim now it's fifty square metres back then it was about five thousand it was deep and considered dangerous for swimming. for now it's enough for these kids to cool off and have some fun and concern perhaps that when they have children of their own the little water they have left probably won't be here same bus ravi old jazeera. environmentalists are marking world overshoot day to remind people to consume less of a natural resources as species where using our natural resources about one point seven times faster than our ecosystem can reproduce them well this is caused by
