about what the next week could bring an extreme weather warnings already in place as the hunter heads towards record highs more than one hundred firefighters have been trying to contain a blaze at a national park in under no c.-a and the south the highest recorded temperature for spain is forty seven point three degrees celsius but this weekend forecasters say it could reach fifty and that is would be the hottest ever and continental europe. well the heat wave that's been heading northern parts of europe is causing more problems honasan infant and wales so they haven't seen much rain for more than two months and crops are being affected john holl reports. with an almost rain free july following the driest june since one nine hundred twenty five britain is sweating its way through both the heat wave and drought at the moment the news we're hearing about the lack of rain for speculation about shortages it's not a local sort of northern european or british issue this time it seems to be the

whole of the northern hemisphere i'm reading hearing reports from the us canada russia sweden about long periods of high temperatures drought conditions and it's affecting harvests everywhere farmer robert lord takes me on a tour of his parched land wheat prices a way up that's good for farmers but bad of course for consumers he's worried about his livestock so your big concern now is is the grass that you have lost effectively that would mean feat. and it's got to the situation in the last few days that we've got. in and bring it out of the field the national farmers union has called it a crisis we have all food on our shelves twenty four seventh's and we often don't actually ever really think about where food comes from or indeed how it gets on those shelves so i think it's a wake up call in many. areas and not least around the situation of market failure

and volatility. crucial component of the future of the cultural policy the long hot summer of two thousand and eighteen is a reminder says the national farmers union that britain shouldn't take its food production for granted and a timely one at that as concerns grow about the possibility of this country exiting the european union without a trade deal resulting in food shortages even stockpiling in the months ahead we cope with the weather we manage with the weather the one thing is giving us a lot of a. why are we going for it and always saying as a politician squabbling as the drought continues both briggs it and the challenging climate looks set to ensure challenging times ahead al-jazeera. will have a lot more to come on i want to see russia says un peacekeepers have returned to

a tropical depression working its way across us because it's only a depression it's not strong enough to be a storm or even a typhoon so that probably means the winds won't be too destructive instead of the amount of water that we're going to see that's causing concern and so for some of us in shanghai maybe outside of shanghai as well there could be a bit of flooding from the system as it gradually runs its way towards the northwest there as we head into saturday on saturday for the south plenty of showers here as you'd expect and some of them still very heavy they extend all the way towards the west now still more heavy showers every part of me and my you can see the bright white area of cloud here that's across the eastern parts of india three parts a banker there and up into nepal that's where the worst of the weather is currently more very heavy downpours are likely on friday and saturday they could be more in the way of flooding here elsewhere towards the west it's generally dry. where were you when this idea to. get their online.

followed a six week military campaign against iceland fighters and other rebel groups israel's as the farm to you will be quieter with president bashar assad's rule restored. relations between syria and jordan are also beginning a new chapter after the defeat of rebels near their shared border damascus says it's planning to reopen the road to the from two year the closure of the knesset crossing in twenty eleven has affected the economies of syria and neighboring states say in the whole the reports from jordan's capital are money. jordan wanted exports to flow through what was once a lucrative trade route the syrian government's recapture than a sea crossing from the opposition in early july was welcomed by officials here damascus says the road is now ready for use and is waiting for jordan to officially request the resumption of commercial activity it may be using this as leverage to define a new relationship. for the syrian regime they have their own political agenda they

will make demands and impose conditions on jordan the opening of the border won't happen right away from my experiences with the regime jordan or something in return that could be an official recognition of syrian president bashar legitimacy officially jordan was one of the few arab states that didn't diplomatic relations with damascus and kept the channel for military cooperation and intelligence sharing open but ties were affected in the early days of the conflict jordan's king abdullah called on assad to step down that approach later changed with the priority being the protection of national security interests it has been a difficult balancing act for jordan it likes to describe its policy toward the syrian crisis as it called for a political solution and it didn't call for regime change as a condition to end the crisis to a certain extent followed an independent course from its allies who were supporting the opposition despite its cautious approach jordan along with the u.s.

and saudi arabia did back the opposition in southern syria but when damascus was close to victory it convinced many rebels to surrender it is enough for them to reopen its embassy in damascus and this would be tantamount to acknowledgment of the. bashar to stick but not the player. or definitely clearly in favor of the regime so russia is going to want there's no question about that that. would. if you have a neighbor like this you need to deal with that many jordanians accuse the assad government of crimes against humanity but public opinion seems ready to accept the reality because of the benefits to the struggling economy now it's a fact that would steal syria but the one thing. to see them but i shan't everybody . will see it's very good for economy what people will be.

the neighboring countries are on the road toward restoring relations with jordan will first have to pay a political price. to bangladesh now we universities and high schools across the country have been closed for a second day of the protests of the deaths of two students thousands of young people have been blocking streets in the capital dhaka since sunday and the protests have now spread to all the cities the table has five boss witnesses say the skating students are calling for us to the driver and improvement and road safety measures from this child that he has more from dhaka. the fifth day of protests by the students all across the country especially in the capital city of dhaka intersection like this right i'm standing it's totally shut off there is a great loss all across the city and in other parts of the country as well now we have never seen this unprecedented number of students even their guardians in the street supporting them they want some sort of major reform in the road accidents

and implementation of road transport laws by the government their demand is also the resignation of the shipping minister mr khan who is really ticked off the students there's also a general degree of frustration among the students because they're caught on movement started by the university student was crushed by the government and their problem is was not met over out there is a general frustration among the public because there is no room space for demonstration are free expression the press is very much cartel there's not much room for. freedom of expression in the country we are facing election down the road probably in december or november so there is a big political climate here and people are frustrated about that expression is shown in the street and the students don't since to be moving out of the street anytime soon unless most of their demands are met. now the u.s. is planning even higher tariffs on chinese imports raising them from ten to twenty

five percent the move will target two hundred billion dollars worth of one high profile casualty of the trade battle soybeans which are a crucial part of the chinese diet by china correspondent adrian brown has more on what that means for farmers in a long john province. farmland is precious in china only fifteen percent of the country is arable that makes the russian fertile province of hay long jiang very important especially now. close to the border with russia this is soybean country. china is the world's largest consumer of soybeans but it can't grow enough and so is reliant on imports to meet demand that means the decision to impose a twenty five percent levy on u.s. soil beans creates risk yet in this province the trade fight appears to be having a welcome impact. farmers like mn foundling are being urged by the local government

to switch their fields to soil from corn offering subsidies as an incentive that'll raise incomes moon says he has a lot to thank president trump for who won when you know how when china stops importing from the united states is possible what the price of domestic soybeans welcome and that means we will make more money. soybeans may flourish in this province but only around ten percent of those consumed in china are domestically grown the instruction to local farmers to grow more soybeans was a political priority but the reality is this china is a long way from ever being self-sufficient in soybeans which means it's going to be reliant on imports for years to come hi everybody i am a soybean in this cartoon video china appears to be targeting u.s. farmers it's been airing on the international service of state t.v.

and has a clear message in china can buy soybeans from other countries if that happens soybean farmers in the u.s. could take an even greater hit. and the soybean plays an essential role in the chinese diet used in cooking oil source tofu. as well as animal feed the government is now taking action to ensure there's no shortage of what the government is offering more subsidies to saudi and farmers so i believe the government's been very supportive to the whole soybean industry in the past cheap soybean imports hurt chinese growers but the tariff war with the united states could secure their future adrian brown al-jazeera in a long jiang province northeast china. experts from the world health organization and the un have now arrived to help contain a new ball algebraic in the democratic republic of congo they have left the delegation has set up in the town of benny in the province of north kivu converse

health ministry has confirmed four cases of the bowler in this concern that fighting in the region could make it harder to contain the virus but dr ali khan is dean of the college of public health at the university of nebraska and he says that rule commuting is a better education to understand how a ball is transmitted. what we saw in the last outbreak we hope to see in this outbreak which is a really active response backs a nation of contacts and hopefully hopefully shut the outbreak down very quickly unfortunately this outbreak is in an active conflict zone on the border rwanda and uganda which is very different from the location of the last outbreak and that's going to pose a challenge itself in the response so there's no lack of information from a scientific standpoint we know exactly what happens the disease is natural in bats and people get infected directly from bats or from eating infected bushmeat and then if there can be a large amount of person to person spread during

a funeral or potentially during a how kids are in a health care setting so we know the science of ebola but what's missing is the education of communities to help them understand that sometimes in the midst of all these people who have fever and getting sick and dying there's potentially cases of a bolo that are very contagious and can infect others within the community so that's where the education needs to happen and to make sure that such individuals are quickly moved to health care centers to ensure that there aren't these funerals where you keep touching people and infecting others and within how care settings to ensure there's good infection control practices now fifty years ago a top caution has put has important on the fight for racial equality in the u.s. but also had a schoolteacher shall show to enter to use a black character to have popular pain of newspaper strip. a modern kateryna scary johnson look at the legacy of franklin. my name is carrie johnson i'm

a lady wrote him a letter i remember reading about it three years ago and he said well i don't want a three and a half more really however he took a chance and it worked out ok that's. right it wasn't a stereotype you know get it crazily do what is here but his deal was pretty straightforward and then when the holidays will come around you'll see franklin. was the peppermint patty you see there were just you know my thing is they want to missed you most everyone but i enjoyed that. and i get all of the product but the headlines on al-jazeera zimbabwe electoral commission is expected to hold a news conference in about an hour to update the presidential count police have sealed off the opposition movement for democratic changes party headquarters in the center of what r.t. both main parties have called for calm after protests on wednesday ended with

a moment in time snapshots of the lives of the stories. provided into someone else's well. inspiring documentaries from impassioned filmmakers everybody's going to. witness al jazeera. hi i'm femi oke a and you're in the street today why is the u.s. government run detention center at guantanamo bay still open we explore why years after nine eleven some people remain jailed at the facility despite never being charged with any crime i'm really could be and we are now live on you tube still leave your comments in the shop for us to include in the conversation this morning

i watch president obama talking about get right down about it which by the way which by the way we are keeping open which we are keeping. and we're going to load it up with the bear dude split we're going to load it up. that's why there's a donald trump speaking in twenty sixteen about president obama's plan to shut down the prison complex at guantanamo bay in january of this year present trump with us the bomb as executive order to close the facility he reiterated its importance the so-called war on terror at the state of the union address have a lot. to ensure that in the fight against isis and. we continue to have all necessary power to detain terrorists wherever we chase them down where ever we find. and in many cases them it will now be

one turn and. in july lawyers for a kuantan of inmates who have never been charged with a crime in which the case challenging their detention joining us now via skype in new york is one of those lawyers potus capriati is a senior attorney for the center for constitutional rights also joining us right in our studio so watched me is an editor with the washington examiner lawrence korb senior fellow for the center for american progress he's also the former u.s. assistant secretary of defense and in london was a bank is a former guantanamo prisoner and now the director of outreach for cage an organization advocating for rights of people held unjustly in the war on terror hello everybody it's good to have you here party is this idea of who is left in guantanamo bay if the public are not following this if it's ages since they seen a headline what would you tell them he's still there it's largely. been.

over sixteen years. people go. to great charges against. their troops. and men who and shouldn't be released as a matter. of security was. larry parr just mentioned that some have been there for sixteen years i think one of the biggest topics of conversation among our community when we told them are doing this is what is the treatment like now because of course when you think of guantanamo a lot of people think of torture and i want to read you two tweets here says the conditions are in many ways harsher than those reserved for the most dangerous convicted criminals in the u.s. windowless cells no opportunity for human interaction and another person who is actually a lawyer out us says the u.n. human rights reiterated in january that torture abounds i get and detainees should

be released for treatment torture is that something that is still going on here and on and on fortunately it is and i think the real problem is that nobody's paying attention to it anymore when we first heard the stories of torture back during the bush administration everybody was outraged in the u.s. and around the world but it's sort of fallen off the radar there's only forty prisoners left as opposed to like eight hundred we had almost eight hundred at one time and the real problem is that this is rather than stopping terrorism it's creating it because it is comes a rallying cry for people who say i ought to go against the united states because what they're not doing or what they are doing in guantanamo how do you know that larry how do you know it's a rallying cry well i think the way you know it is if you monitor what these groups like isis or the remnants of al qaeda in the arabian peninsula this is something they bring up now it's not the only thing but the fact of the matter is that we had

this struggle against you know terrorists we will only win when we could vince people that what they are saying and why they want to go against sausan our allies is the wrong thing to do and one of the things the kind of echo larry's point is that when focusing on terrorism and the detainees who have not who've either for. serve the full term were charged convicted and are scheduled for release. this struggle is in the bureaucracy of government in trying to find detention facilities or even rehabilitation facilities are able to take on those really scheduled to be released detainees and you know we talk a lot about in washington about this concept of the deep state you know the overarching government this bureaucracy and there are many forces within the government that simply don't want to have these individuals released so i want to play a little clip from a film called a documentary film called the confession it talks about your story at the beginning

it tells what happened to you what it was like for you because you've told your story so many times i want to do it via this little bit of a trial as i have a look at this this is the beginning of the trial or the confession. it was midnight this. country. with. my hands behind my back that was that i woke up. was i'm back from birmingham i was arrested by the cia pakistan is now being held at guantanamo bay in cuba. never been convicted of any crime and then you hear about this bureaucracy the paperwork we don't know where to put people this is sixteen years later was and what do you have to add to. the situation and get my right now how do you see it. well some of the work that i've

been doing with my organization zation cage has been documenting and speaking to a lot of that's what prisons around the world in clean clothing for example a very close friend of mine shakur armor it was held for fourteen years without charge or trial has only helped the three so i'm a relative novice in comparison to him and the first thing i have to say about what's what's happened to these guys is you know there's all this issue about the definitions of torture that happened at the border bush administration that if it wasn't organ failure or test according to the most senior legal advisor to the government then it wasn't torture and then you had obama coming along saying that even though we tortured some folks that torture those torture was would not be prosecuted united states did a senate report on torture which admittedly bizarrely that they tortured at least one hundred one thousand people no prosecutions and that's why today you have a president who says i believe torture works i would want to war and a lot more i want a lot of kuantan and more with more prisoners and and so you've got this return

in fact you know the bush administration never said yes we agree would torture they simply called it enhanced interrogation techniques what you have today is an administration led by a man who says he would torture and continue and believes in torture and the aspects of torture of course all the physical parts that we've repeated so many times but the greatest torture is to be held without charge or trial for a crime that you haven't been been told that you committed and in the midst of all of that you've got the destroyed lives of people those who've been returned and resettled of the of of amongst those i've come myself fortunate and british born and raised here but there are people like the weakest for example from eastern turkey stand in china who've been sent to places like el salvador palau. place in the you know why in a place they have no connection to no language skills no ability to communicate no history no culture and they're supposed to sort out pick up their lives and return

to why. and children that have grown up without them in some cases not even being up to recognize their sons and there's no this being no sense of redress in any way by the united states of america produce destroyed life so like larry said when these images and stories go back to other people and groups like isis they say look what they did to these guys that's the land of justice that's london freedom democracy they have heaviest corpus and magna carta as part of the constitution but in reality they also have kuantan i'm. just asking a follower do you think the detainment of. a lot of individuals who have either been connected in some way shape or form to a lot of these terrorist organizations do you think that they're indefinite the tame in pushes people who are even flirting on the wires of being on the edge of you know joining a group like isis do you think kuantan will be is the tipping point for that pushes them over the. the good the really good question i like the question the first

thing i would say out of all the constant reasons i do them it's not meant but hundreds since my release. i've not come across any perhaps one or two who support isis all the idea of isis and that's because isis makes al-qaeda look relatively tame. and the other thing is that what you have seen in iraq i've done it twice i made appeals for hostages including british and american hostages to be released because i saw them dressed in orange jumpsuits and they were threatening to and did in some occasions execute these men now why did they dress them in knowledge that's not a natural core of prisoners in iraq and and and harnessed on and so forth the reason why was to show some kind of connection some kind of tangible link between their cause and the cause of the prisoners in guantanamo so you're both right in saying that it has been a horse of course elaborate for some of these guys but it doesn't detract from the

fact that what you've got happening is something that that hasn't stopped over fourteen years fifteen years sixty six sixteen years it's continued it's proliferating and with. with trump saying he's going to keep kuantan him open that's the only next step is that isis prisoners will be sent to guantanamo and if that happens you just turn the clock back and learned nothing over the past sixteen years where you know two former commandant of the marine corps general crew arkan hor they wrote an op ed saying exactly this that this was hurting austin. well these are marines that ok who have fought and died for the country and they they agree with that and that's why aside from the moral thing which is just a porn so we don't stick up for our own moral principles the fact is it's hurting our security and a lot of people that have been released there are like in the u.a.e. we don't know where they are what are they doing what are they up to so i mean it's

even worse than you would think you know looking at the situation i want to bring in a viewer and comment this is from a teacher a high school history teacher and san diego who wrote this piece for teen vogue take a look at my screen here guantanamo bay explained he writes i think all americans should know what our country has done and to whom he sent us a video about what it is he tells his students about one tunnel based some of that many of them actually who were born after the detention center was set up and so therefore do not know about guantanamo and have never heard of it here's what he told the stream even if most people have heard of it the images that come to mind are usually orange jumpsuits barbed wire most people couldn't tell you the name of a single person was kept there it's a it's a dehumanizing place i had the opportunity to meet two man locked up with stuff i hear who were detained in guantanamo bay who later established their innocence when

they're free and i make a planting it's important that i share their stories that i share their their pictures with my students and at the end of the day i would want them to my students to think for themselves about our policy toward want to know what our policy ought to be. and i think. it's important that they understand this isn't some abstract issue. what we're doing there we're doing actual human beings with actual families. whose lives are need to pay attention to their stories. because he wants to share their stories he included two pictures he sent the people that he's worked with this one locked are in and another person most dear who were released just want to go to you because in this attempt to make sure that americans know what is happening in their country and being done by their government you are

working on behalf of at least eleven men who are still detained what are their stories what do you want the world to know about them. well i want to say to some the arabs following up on the teacher's right i think all this i'm about shall never but one time despite everything you know add all the debates we've had. you know the government still largely controls the narrative about the metal grain and that was because it's what thomas a remote prison because of secrecy that still surrounds the prison because of the fact that reporters who've been covering this for decades for over a techie a still cannot meet face to face with the seam to cheney or communicate and in person every time i go to guantanamo the notes that antique in my meetings are censored and still search a censored redacted version in sweat i can talk about publicly so it's just it's a crucial point that it's not only to humanize distance and secrecy and lack of access that's still surrounds the president has everything to do about you know

this narrative the government are proponents of for technical people who are in support of keeping it open and. who remain as the worst the worst how they are able to continue that narrative and how it's able to continue to take hold in the public because still in two thousand and eight seeing that kind of basic access to internet i mean it's not there and their stories cannot get out and so it ends up being it's a debate between what the lawyers say and what the government's lawyers say you know what the defense lawyer saying and the government the government versus us and in many cases it's hard for us to win the other governments were trumps in court often and in terms of the public. so that's just it's a really crucial point to understand where we are still in two thousand and eighteen and i'm going to represent i'll talk about some of them one is that are. i get me man he's forty three his name is sharia hodges' he's been in u.s.

custody for over sixteen years for charge the government has long to determine if it has evidence that he committed a crime and charge him or has not he's someone the government will probably never charge and according to its position in court it believes it has to get ready to hold him perpetually essentially for advice without charge but in this theory that the u.s. continues to be the same armed conflicts that it quiets seventeen years ago the time it was captured that extends worldwide that extends to unspecified concentrate more seeing new or new groups new terrorist groups that didn't exist the time of nine eleven and they have nothing to do with them and they continue to consume the whole time for as long as the fighting continues which in its theory is when al qaeda terrorists that are certain enter the united states which just totally unrealistic i mean governments lawyer stood up in court to get your argument on our silence recent right. and the government's lawyer circuit court and said we could

to change management tom daschle one hundred years if we had this year we have had a three so that's the position it's taking forever man who made a decision seventeen years ago it was in his twenty's to go to afghanistan there's never been a way to approach seeing it any actual violence he's never been alleged to have cherry a weapon. against the united states or its allies but. who is looking at life a life sentence search so i don't think in that part of the reason this is happening because no outcry from the american public. and it's not a particular behavior is not my own that it's a pilot is can you can explain that right international right so with respect to national security and or the trump of ministrations says they you know come at it from a position of being very strong on national security. keeping a. facility like one town will be open is a symbol of that is this

a level of significance and rebuking the obama administration agenda of trying to close it and keeping it open and trying to thaw as many people with as possible whether they are charged with an actual crime or not of course you know the obama administration ran into a lot of red tape with respect to closing it because there were not many u.s. prisons or any people that wanted them to be transferred to the united states remind people what happened to president obama doesn't know that we've got and then you see me twenty thirteen and you see me twenty sixteen have a look. the idea that we would still maintain forever. a group of individuals who have not been tried that is contrary to who we are it is contrary interests and in these distress true that i have not been able to close the door. because of the congressional destructions that been placed on the admission of failure of right right that right so people are being detained there's no trial people who create who knows where they're going to get out how do you fix

that. well there are a number of different ways of course the chief area that you can look at is simply voting if you don't like the people who are in power you can vote to change congressional elections senate as well as the president and with respect to you know the kind of the bureaucracy that exists in washington. you have to try the force not force but encourage the next administration that comes in to put people who are passionate about those issues because it's not always about the presence of the president can always be the figurehead who has the vision but it's the people in the executive branch to carry out that policy and that's the most important part and you know what i think is very critical we the people are partly to blame because our members of congress wouldn't let obama do what he wanted and we would try to transfer our some of these folks to american presidents the communities got all upset so it's not you know i think as

a country we have to you know get our act together and i think it would be wonderful if this would be an issue in the next election that people would talk about and say put me in there and i'm going to fix this problem so more americans are not going to get killed the reason though it will never become a primary reason is because if you look at the politics of it if you are if you are for closing guantanamo bay that can put you in the camp of being a terrorist sympathizer that it's just as easy as that oh for sure which is just the way the american politics political messaging works i don't i think that clearly i want to bring up this viewer comment actually not of your comment this is someone who tweeted back to you part decent and one of your organization's tweets clean empty hope says well those are terrorists and they should be locked up for life but we got a viewer comment from someone who spoke on that lawyer says the biggest challenge is that we successfully convince most of the u.s. and the world that the eight hundred were all terrorists when most were sold for

bounty and trying to. educate now which no administration has actually done is near impossible and before you answer that i just wanted to share this viewer comment someone was watching the show live and said this in a former detainee he says in fact we haven't escaped yet i was moved from guantanamo to another one and worse he was held from two thousand and two to two thousand and sixteen and is now in serbia but produce i know you wanted to comment on that earlier tweet. there's a let's work back there i mean in terms of you know they're out here as i would ask that we are. asked a question to herself what actually does she know about the alarm to change here or expect us at least a dozen times the government house. you know spokespeople for our people. has she ever had real exposure has she been able to hear the other side of the story fully sense or know the answer is no to those questions in terms of breaking

down the population right now at this forty man thirty want never been charged with a crime. they are being held for her alleged conduct that they can't be at seventeen years ago at the time of capture the only evidence the government has ever had to show to justify their detention is. it's only the amount of evidence they need to prove is a breach of contract case and negligence case we're talking about incarceration and white prison and the standard evidence the government has been how to sew has been held to one of the lowest that exists in a lot of. five of the men who remain has been cleared for transfer by the government itself but it's important to understand what that means that means that every government agency government agency announcements lawyers for the sake of these detentions has gotten together looked at the government's information about these people and determined their continued detention is not necessary for u.s.

national security is how does it basically you are taking the trumpet ministration to court over this. how confident to fill the junkies who will say you have a case. i don't constitute our legal position which is that indefinite detention charge and it particular office. has been held here is entirely not. intrinsically was slow and it's i so if you're ready to get. it show. i think it remains to be seen you know i don't know i just will decide we thought when we brought our first question. or. actually i'm right after nine eleven that we. need and we want to right i think the court starts yes i agree also larry the

public needs to hear it is there is pressure that people can exert on their members of congress that matters and i think it is hard it was tried everywhere at your restaurant to change and. it's crucial to remember the public pressure so. i'm going to leave it there thank you public pressure still not his many coats going on online will endure this week from laura who says above all guantanamo is existence cannot become an accepted fact and he one who believes in fair trial rights needs to keep themselves informed as to what's happening we can't turn a blind eye to rush and larry and paul this and it's it's really good to have you on this program i feel that. this so much more to be said about guantanamo and it will in history when we look back at this time people will be questioning what happened and what potentially went wrong but for now we're going to wrap up

the news could rely on our were streaming online through you tube facebook live and that al-jazeera dot com thanks for joining us the streets of zimbabwe's capital have been calm but tense a day after three people were killed by soldiers sent to break up protestors who claim this week's election was rigged the current president. says he's been talking to opposition leader nelson chamisa to defuse the situation things that turned nasty on wednesday after the election commission announced that the ruling party zanu p.f. won most of the parliamentary vote well to me as a says zanu p.f. knows he won and that's why the results have been delayed we know that we think. this way is impeachment we got was losing in all the course is when my m.p.'s were looked at me when i won our support must be counted and you must use the liberation

in few days nor are the outcome which is not what one this election is on monday. well zanu p.f. meanwhile accuses opposition supporters of being the main troublemakers and urge them to calm down we appeal to our colleagues in the opposition. to ensure that their supporters maintain the company which existed when people went to vote. it is our hope is. that. we accept that we belong different political parties but no life should be lost as it is to a political differences our social media producer and a ship has been looking at how all of this is playing out online and europe that's right during many people are doing exactly what we're doing right now waiting for these results to come in and meanwhile plenty of people are reacting to that violence we saw in the capital harare they are criticizing the force that was used

by the military that was basically deployed to restore calm there are many people showing videos like this one under one has taken particular that's pray for zimbabwe now political leaders and citizens have also been chime in. it's waiting that together the country must lead by example and show all zimbabweans that peace is paramount he tweeted that this land is home to all of us and we will sink or swim together but many people aren't happy with that sort of message this next user says that it's clear that you are not popular among zimbabweans neither are you the preferred president to lead zimbabwe do the honorable thing and let him he said take over we know he won the majority this person said so we heard earlier today from the top lynn stott from the university of essex she says that the violence is a particular problem in this situation since the military is willing to use force. so we see how everything unfolded you had elections where there were some

irregularities in the constituencies that the opposition should have had a stronghold in the ruling party somehow one protest erupted in response and then the military responded with an overwhelming use of force even killing several civilians and so with any country that democratizes of course elections are going to be really a difficult time democratization is is violent it can be chaotic it can be very unstable but this is going to be a particular problem for zimbabwe because they have an incredibly powerful military that seems willing to use force to maintain the status quo and now we're also seeing a lot of messages that zimbabweans want to give the president here's what you told us you've got to be because you want peaceful change we've had in an election is hoping to be protesters that does not. exactly what your intentions were and we are hoping that the leadership is going to come out and condemn this

shooting. and find it will be investigating and prosecuting those that did that is doing the will be computed country we're going to listen most people with an a for the most tonight at this moment to talk we still impose in this historic election now people in other countries across the region are also weighing in the president of botswana said that he hoped for a seamless and peaceful election process but now these two leaders need to come together to encourage peace and stability for the greater good it's not exactly clear what happens next many zimbabweans have been using the messaging app telegram to urge each other to stay home we've also seen two local celebrities send out a solidarity message calling for peace. i know all right. we're going to bring. in. someone. you. like. and of course we love to hear from

you especially if you're watching us from zimbabwe a lot of snow what you think about the way forward you can get on twitter and use the hash tag a.j. newsgroup and you think you will not cross over to malcolm webb he's joining us from zimbabwe's capital harare because we do have an update malcolm from the electoral commission about when they will start to announce the presidential election results that's what they said they'll start announcing the presidential election results in just under five hours from now although often these things can start late but that will happen right here at the results center but this of course is a result that's already being contested the president said earlier in the week he's confident of a win and we heard a short while ago from sonny p.s. legal affairs chief he spoke to the press just outside here he also said he's expecting a victory for the opposition say they've already rigged it the opposition say that they won in most constituencies and that nelson should be said their candidate is the true winner but they say the ruling party in the electoral commission have used

these last couple of days to rig it and they say that they're expecting a correct result ruling party victory to be announced in a few hours from now so then do we expect both parties not to concede defeat i'm sorry please again do we expect that both parties not to concede defeat. yes exactly and the ruling party said competent to go when it's widely expected with a i guess widely seen by many zimbabweans as being reluctant to give up power by the opposition who already said they think they've won it so if the ruling party a ruling party victory is announced then it is quite possible the opposition will cause demonstrations and protests but it was clear yesterday the military you are very much in control here at the moment is the military that put president i mean drug war into office when they pushed out robert mugabe in november and when they

came into the streets of the capital harare yesterday it's very clear that on the rest of any kind wasn't going to be a protest weren't going to be tolerated so we're waiting to see what happens in the days ahead how the opposition react to the result and then if there are people on the streets how the military and the police react to them what can you tell us about the military itself malcolm because some people criticizing the army saying they've simply used too much force over the past few days and one of our facebook few worst attended saying what the military did is unacceptable and uncalled for we hope those responsible will be brought to book. when they were deployed into harare yesterday into the city three people were killed by live gunshots they were the army used live gunfire to break up the protests. just to push market traders street traders and clear the streets to gas was used the e.u. chief observer the leader of the european union's observation mission said the

force was excessive opposition have also been very critical about this they skeptical of the army's role and they say one or position leaders spoke to a short while ago saying are always now under siege he said it was a seven month window from november when till now when there was a bit more freedom of speech a bit more democratic space he said that he believes that it's now ended with the army having been back on the streets and they complain a number of their officials have been arrested as well they say we don't know how many but they claiming that the window of democratic space that's zimbabwe's experienced in the last seven months they say it's now over all right giving us the update from harare thank you well our online journalist hamza mohammed is also keeping us across developments his stories are on the home page of al jazeera dot com and this one right there is the latest one on zimbabwe you can also follow him on twitter he's on underscore africa in the democratic republic of
