headquarters the ruling party you have a major five star hotel here the election commission office is also here that's the zanu p.f. headquarters with the big banner of the current president in a seven hundred one he's confident he's won this election and then that side with the army truck is that is the way the electoral commission building is and people have been trying to get into that place but it hasn't been allowed so a lot of important buildings in this area you can understand why authorities want to try and make sure nothing is destroyed in the area the ordinary zimbabweans watching this the last time they saw soldiers on the street was in november last year when army tanks army vehicles rolled into the city up to some roads and eventually after a few days we saw them forced robert mugabe to resign and then people came out to celebrate and enjoy the fact that the army helped remove robert mugabe but now things are different this tension now because people don't know what is going to happen next right now as you can see it's just soldiers driving around not seeing

them physically touch anyone is people push them too far what could happen. and how do we are expecting the situation to continue again as we keep mentioning until at least we get the results of the presidential vote the electoral commission has given the parliamentary majority two thirds of the vote to the ruling zanu p.f. we're still waiting for the presidential result and you were saying earlier that having the results might calm the situation but given how the opposition supporters have responded so far which is not at all accepting the electoral commission results. can we actually expect that when we have this final presidential result. that it will calm the situation that the protests will stall especially when you have the opposition leader nelson chamisa saying that he's won and his supporters who believe that. i don't think protests will stop if

the opposition leader loses this election has been different from the elections you've had a lot of young people registered to vote we saw a lot of young people line up to vote and some of those young people say they want to change they don't want on and here in power and they were adamant they felt that because mugabe is gone maybe for once they can vote freely maybe for once the vote will be counted so they were really hoping that this time going to vote would make a difference in their lives those who support the opposition so whether they will accept the survey leader has lost if he has lost i seriously doubt it but do they have the capacity really to have massive civil unrest zimbabwe's generally acquired conservative people generally they don't really violent situations and they see a really really pushed so it depends how many people can muster up can get to come on to the streets they want to sing protesting protesting what young people it was

in the middle ages with the old it was young people most of them jobless who want the economy to change whether violence works to advantage who knows it could go either way but right now i think the key thing is when are those results going to be announced and of course what will happen after that how to thank you very much for that for now that's a car spondon to live in harare we're going to get more on the smell we're joined by political analyst. he's also joining us from very good to have you on our jazeera so how do you see how do you view what we've been watching over the last few hours where we've had great opposition from supporters of nelson chamisa who are not accepting the results. mr ten you hear me this is elizabeth from the presenter and.

to the delightful materials used to rigging and stuffing the results a result addition to promote is already skeptical about their. constituency by constituency from the electoral commission. not the which way but i know many voices and how they viewing what's happening and how. could. i know that you said that one post has happened in zimbabwe they usually happen. because we see them spread do you think. it is possible if the unrest. continues. but in this part of the country and the baby land historically the many people supported the opposition that actually date back to the one nine hundred eighty s. when. the. insurgents an uprising but the army was accused of massacring twenty thousand civilians in committing

gross human rights abuses. to both to the political rival. who was never really any justice or complete. people in the debate going full their opinions regarding the ruling party which isn't very popular has a historic area. but. just a short while ago we were in a town where. twenty three out of twenty four district council seats failed by zanu p.f. people are not the. officials had told them that white farmers would come back again and they didn't. say there was an extremely high. ninety nine percent. malcolm thank you for that for now that's malcolm webb joining us on the phone from below while we're going to try

to bring together the opposition to unite behind one candidate now. spoke to al-jazeera really he said that even the most of the suited. for this job but then he is willing to speak with the politicians because that's the way that they can beat. the ruling party and remember also that back in two thousand and. one to run a second term president of president joseph kabila. presidential election in a runoff a lot of people say that. they. know there's a lot of. that's going to be interesting to. a

strengthening as it does so this used to be a thai food is the one that worked its way across japan then fizzled out and began to reform of q sure and now it's working its way steadily towards the west so by the time it hits shanghai then we're expecting it to have the winds of a tropical storm so fairly ferocious but it's the rain that's going to cause most of the problems so shanghai and the surrounding region could see some very very heavy downpours as we head through friday and into saturday two further south you see plenty of showers here some of them very heavy and they stretch all the way towards the west and across into me in mar to it over towards a little bit further west with still low that we've got the worst of the weather over many parts of bangladesh in the eastern parts of india very wet at the moment and that's the way it's going to stay for thursday and friday actually that what weather there with this in nepal and here we have had reports of flooding towards the west though generally looking a fair amount drier here many of us are seeing plenty of dry spells maybe even some blue skies in places around the coast though still some of the showers could turn

out to be a little bit lively. capturing a moment in time. snapshots of our lives other stories. providing a glimpse into someone else's what about inspiring documentaries from impassioned filmmakers everybody's going to. circle. is going to be so most of. us on al-jazeera.

good to have you with us on al jazeera these are our top stories soldiers in zimbabwe have fired live rounds and water cannon at opposition protesters who are refusing to accept the results of monday's election one person has died in the demonstrations which broke out half of the rings on the p.f. was declared the winner but opposition leader nelson chamisa says his party won the popular vote. congolese police have fired tear gas at supporters of opposition leaders on pier bamba the former rebel leader and vice president is back to serving ten years in jail for war crimes it was freed from the hague on appeal in may he now wants to run in december the next sions and the date for a presidential elections has been announced the vote will be held on the twentieth of april next year the presidential vote will take place six months after the parliamentary and local elections for. government targeting

a convoy carrying an election material in mali have killed at least a full song just eight attackers also died after a shootout in the southern region off so good vote counting is underway in mali following sunday's presidential election thousands of polling stations were disrupted by violence well let's get more on this now we're joined by kos pondered mohamad vall he is live for us in. what more you're hearing muhammad the bell of this attack and who might be responsible for it. or not according to the statement by the first ministry of. the statement. four million soldiers were killed and eight of the attackers were killed in this attack that took place on tuesday evening in the area of first to go i this is just the latest in a series of attacks that took place during the vote on sunday and around the during also the campaign we send even on the day of you know after the day of the election

. today the other development that is quite significant results eighteen candidates eighteen presidential candidacy including the opposition leader some might say have the press conference and they categorically and now as their rejection they think they are not the categorical rejection of this entire electoral process as happened on sunday they described it as an argument and the idea now is the constitutional court they accused of being biased against them and they said the government has rigged election they accuse the government of buying clothes and they mention the city's quite a long series of irregularities that it took place during the vote on sunday the question is why they announced it only today probably they have been waiting for more requests to come from the interior and these are the majority of the candidates remember back in two thousand and thirteen the opposition leader so myla sisi who who ran over reached the second round the second run off with their

presence of mind worker peter he immediately accepts it is the feet during the time of when he when the results were out and he came to congratulate the president now it's a different scenario the opposition candidates are very very few related by what's going on we don't know the results yet they have been so so what is it may go home and that is that i was not handed that's what does it mean that the opposition candidates are saying that they don't accept the election itself let alone themselves because they haven't been announced yet. with question. there have been reports during the last couple of days about unofficial results being leaked. as the counts continues and yesterday evening the ministry of territorial administration declared on t.v. in a statement that all those are false rumors one of those reports talks about

a very big leak even and i try to. follow fifty percent which means that there will be no need for an off in this election sort of pass by different candidates presidential candidates talking about their own it is also that they will go to the second round and so on so this situation indicates that there is a possibility that these presidential candidates already know that they know what's going on in terms of counting the votes and they know that it is a. not in their favor this is the understanding here today and they have anticipated that by announcing this commission today what mohamed thank you very much for that for now that's normal vaal with all the very latest live involve sank you. to syria now where government forces have regained control of all the land along the border with israeli occupied golan heights iceland fighters gave up their
