welcome back just a quick look at the top stories now zimbabwe's electoral commission is set to announce presidential results in a few hours time after official observers edged it to move fast to avoid further violence police have sealed off the opposition forces and cleared the streets in the capital harare. hundreds of iranians angry at the state of the economy of protested in at least five cities around official news agency says the

interesting development we have a senior how mass leadership that are not based here in gaza coming to gaza today from cairo they've been in cairo discussing with egyptian intelligence and others this cease fire deal also potentially discussing palestinian reconciliation it is important why it is important because any of those things need to be done to move forward here and improve the situation. for the people it is unclear what is going to be achieved on the table we know certainly when it comes to palestinian reconciliation there is no trust between how mass and fatah certainly more urgently the ceasefire needs to hold there been intensive efforts by the un special envoy to the middle east peace process nic i'm glad to try and maintain that cease fire even though it is tense will have to wait and see how those talks develop and what the delegation of hamas brings to the leadership here the u.s. is increasing the pressure on china of the trade by threatening even higher tariffs on chinese imports president trump accuses china of unfair trade practices and is

pushing pressure on beijing to reform but china's retaliated with tariffs of its own that subject affected china's supply of soybeans as china correspondent adrian brown reports from heilongjiang province. is precious in china only fifteen percent of the country is honorable that makes the law shouldn't thirty provinces 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 modern family being urged by the local government

to switch their fields to soit from corn offering subsidies as an incentive that'll raise incomes moon says he has a lot to thank president trump for who i'm with you know how when china stops importing from the united states is possible what the price of domestic soybeans welcome and that means we'll 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 my 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's now taking action to ensure there's no shortage of wild out the door the government is offering more subsidies to soybean farmers that so i believe the government. it's been very supportive of me into 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 a struggling mining company in south africa says it will slash thirteen thousand jobs as it ackles to stay afloat impala platinum which has seen violent protests in the past over pay will cut its workforce in rustenburg unless the number of lines

but coming up now inside story. uncertainty in zimbabwe there have been protests and violence after a tightly contested presidential election the military is on the streets and a tense situation may the about to get worse so what chance is there for a peaceful resolution this is inside story. hello welcome to the program i'm richelle carey it was an election that marked

a milestone and zimbabwe's history the first in which longtime leader robert mugabe did not take part but days after that vote there have been protests and a violent crackdown rulings a new p.f. when the majority of seats in parliament but the opposition says the vote was unfair or transparent of the way e.u. and the commonwealth have all urged cong. responding to the violence president emerson agogo offered thoughts and prayers for the families affected and used twitter to call for an end dependent investigation into wednesday's post election violence which killed at least three people he says he's been talking to his opposition rival nelson chamisa to defuse the situation but zimbabwe's home minister says the government will keep the military on the streets for the time being. is to keep under the command of the police. forces. remain deployed. across the country to maintain law and order the government of zimbabwe. and this is food responsibility. for the. destruction

of property. injury and lives for life on the m.d.c. islands the commonwealth election observers are asking zimbabwe's looked royal commission to release the full results they also denounce what they call an excessive use of force by security forces we cuts agree fully denounce the excessive use of force against civilians and wish to engage all parties to exercise restraint zimbabwe electoral commission to exploit its the announcements of who resorts to it said that the lease creates opportunities for six the coalition about possible money pollution of the reserves before we bring in our guests let's take a look at the timeline of how we got here last november following mass protests and military intervention president robert mugabe stepped down after thirty seven years in power the same month it was replaced by emerson minh agogo who had previously

served as vice president and god promised to bring change she called general elections and and bided international observers to monitor them twenty three candidates were on the presidential ballot but the main contenders are minute and the opposition m.d.c. nelson chamisa. let's bring in our guests now and harare a bow mendota he's a director of the trust joining us from london joseph a journalist and former columnist at the new african magazine also in the zimbabwe capital ernest when saying the harare media center welcome to all of you appreciate your time very much if i want to start with you the election commission as we said has already announced some of the results they announced one hundred forty seats for zeno p.f. and parliament and fifty eight for the m.d.c. alliance yet both sides are claiming victory what are they basing that on.

things because of the contentious nature of the backdrop to the election. we wanted to go back to the coup on the fifteenth of november. twenty seven two if you remember one of the reasons the military gave for. an addict in the coup was that was the fear that zanu p.f. would lose their lives as in twenty two with a bit of insight it's clear that to the extent that the party was on the pier became very motorized in the form first and foremost of the appointment of a former general to gauge as the political. and the subsequent process in which some one hundred twenty years to do m.p.'s lost their primaries it was clear that zanu p.f. was putting in place a move through to the structure across the country and this explains in many

respects the kind of results would say merging almost against the grain in the rule areas the biggest and most significant machinery that constitutes the riggin mission of zanu p.f. has always been into mutation. and clearly the report pollution would have been intimidated sufficiently to bring about the result was quite different from what it was expected ok let me bring you in that is a situation in which no go ahead i'm sorry which it appeared that that the that the opposition was now able to infiltrate or operates in the in the areas in which they have not been able to do so in the previous elections there is a lot of first submission order to make ok joseph i want to ask the same question to you both sides are are claiming victory and of course we haven't actually gotten

to the official results for the president yet but both sides are claiming victory what are they basing that on. i think it's interesting because hearing from our the colleague in harare the parliamentary election results shows a clear victory for zanu p.f. in parliamentary terms i think they can son really easy something which is consistent with what the commonwealth observers of say and that is that probably the that is sufficient reason to ask why the continued late for the release of the presidential elections but then if we are basically using common sense to indicate that and to confirm that zanu p.f. substantially worn the majority of for the parliamentary seats it is very likely that the results of the presidential elections would show victor except it has been accepted that i think the presidential elections would be slightly might move closer but quickly i think my calls on those these that up to really the day of fourteen. no party really necessarily raises the kind of course stands which are

being raised at the moment campaigns are generally banned live free and fair political parties jaws candidates of their choices and went around campaigning i'm just wondering whether or not it's done a p.f. did not necessarily get the opposition off shoot and then they call organize themselves quite in a to do when they called elections focused where their voices are really which is mainly risen and probably the m.d.c. played on the numbers that they go to and indeed they got many many many people trying out of their alleys but forgetting that actually literally numbers it's not necessarily the outcome of an election when it comes to the real ballot but what ballot papers and ballot boxes and they are is a lot to get issues and we're going to circle back to those first i want to pose the same question though to ernest center in a second tell you having a bit of a technical issue hearing so i hope you can you can hear the question but the question is both sides are are claiming victory what are they basing that on do they have any legitimate basis to make those claims. yeah he never committed to the

collection i think he the m.d.c. alliance is saying they have one in the airport without court and i think they are coins end mainly about the president though election they fear that there could be temporary that could be taking place with respect to there is out of the presidential election which he. contradicts nelson to me son is saying years one is actually saying years one popular support that's what he say he he there's been given the evidence in form of maybe. images or for the eleven forms i did they are saying that from what they did from the people on the ground they have won the popular vote that's what they're saying in d.c.

there are always saw alleging that the. you looking at the situation in the country this was for them too we. want to play. for an environment that doesn't want to meet free and fair elections and that that's the that's basically i think what is coming from them ok i'm. all along the rule was that. the pres they results of the president will be announced with within five days and obviously the commission has already come out and announce the parliamentary seats but they haven't announced to who won the big when is a fact that there is that five day wait that five day period concern you or does it just mean it gives them more time to accurately count the votes you know it betrays it betrays the whole chicken or it only looks the process. normally

when the results are announced. they're announced all three bella's the presidential current constituency their parliamentary and consolations significantly this time around there's been no mention of the presidential at all so it is it is justifiably. a lot of suspicion and speech and that the figures are being cooked especially given that on the first day of the election we know from reliable sources that the results were known already that night and that should be so as well whether it will hit. until the next morning that announcement or there was a kind of a so go slow on the announcement of election results all together. and for the sick to claim that the reason for the delay has to do with the this is

a consultations with the president because it's absolute nonsense in my view we know the procedure we've known elections since independence whenever there's a delay such as we have had and in the world which we had in two thousand and eight it shows that there is something going on in the background so if so just a minute i want to bring an end to this entity claire says that his sources told him that else and she said was in the lead that that's based on his what he spent all we don't have any reporting to that but just are you concerned that these results the release of the results is being staggered. i am concerned that the release of the results may may be used and are being used as a basis for making their legations slightly much more slowly but i also must say that i think nelson chamisa say that i think on the polling day not only that he won the elections but that he was only prepared to accept the results that favor him i think that was slightly worrying of the time but beyond that to be between

then and today there hasn't really been a marked evidence except this particular issue of speculation as presented now but as a save much earlier if there is also of the parliamentary elections are to go by i think there's evidence of some fish and reason to believe that actually ran like it would be very difficult to suggest that necessarily one of the of could have won up to seventy percent in parliamentary terms and then guy had to lose the presidents we just impossible into it but one thing though is this we forget that the climate being suggested zanu p.f. yes was actually on the dancing up to november last year and that we're actually hardy huge amount of goodwill across the country being seen as the guy who got rid of mugabe and created a new space and they've been bombed like generally very very consolatory to the extent that actually they're presenting about now that they're willing to be able to talk to the position so i think it's very possible that maybe even people who might might have voted. m.d.c.

probably eight or so months ago to simply simply say that look actually less go with this man with the star cheer him on with who is it likely to guarantee our security and stability whether or not we necessarily support it is a different thing but other moment i think unfortunately we're talking slightly much more speculation i think they want to slug much more into the opposition to presenting their evidence so look so i want to go back to that so yes you said that nelson chamisa had gone into the saying that he won't accept anything other than winning does that set undermine institutions and undermine trust and instead. to sions i think part of the problem is that. we're only and this election is going to be very critical after the election after november last year we had robert mugabe mugabe who was very poor allies if you go on the one side. and on the leg the late morgan trying right now both guys are north there but at the same time when we got he was solidly bought by as an opiate under this this state institutions trying

gray was seen to be bucked and propped by external forces particularly the european union and the waste now where we are at the moment zimbabwe is a basically just trying to find a way of coming in between so really this peaceful. course of action i should of course illusion if you like is this electoral process and that's why it's extremely important that whatever happens over the next two days that we have results which hopefully is accepted book by both sides what's interesting though is under p.f. issued a press statement to give a press conference might a short while ago in which they were not really calling for calm but actually showing and extending the hands of friendship to the opposition i think extremely one of the chamisa and women and i don't really talk but actually their conversation has led to my one probably over the next critical perhaps twenty four hours talking a lot about transparency so earnest let me ask you this when robert mugabe stepped

down after relatively no violence just a lot of public pressure a lot of protests were you encouraged about what could happen in the next election . yeah all does the the formal for president mugabe to some people actually ideas i'm all about see when i look to the best godly look d.-e. a-d. the situation is a situation of continuing to do was basically design of the of system that was to convene us all to meet he did indian style or more so when one considers that he the million dollar was said to descend over elections that have been disputed before you look at in two thousand and eight they merely dad why did they send the the at one point doug really nice didn't they actually declared that they would not accept a lead on the salute anyone with doubting the liberation or going to go so they waited to send out indie when they took over from mugabe i don't see it was doesn't

need to continue with the at a very old desisted and d. to me didn't in the style of leave anything to me it was a very dangerous president away zimbabweans now we have the yeasty over cool within the mideast. so not too much your hope windy well well well when i look at the time i think i always have to go back to the issue of who that is out we are why doesn't as if what i'd like pointed out is that while in order to announce today that there is i was going to cut into the why why not why it took us big to this in audio of two thousand and eight when the i was with late whenever those are delayed the feeling is that the there is a booking that is taking place either maybe to create their own motion audio or move it to run away from iran with an audio or whatever there's no such vision in tomorrow find this is being caused by the fact that the we are taking long we have

there is out why not you yet again those then the people who see what is on the ground let me bring eva back into this conversation then it goes on leading up to this what do you see as maybe what was lacking in election laws in the election process leading up to this they could have prevented some of this i think this three things were first of all i think the previous speaker not not the noticed. someone was speculating wildly speculating that you could have a situation there but there could be a correlation between what i perceived as the. parliamentary results and the possibility therefore that no go would be the winner let me remind you that includes southern aid done appear for two thirds majority in parliament but mugabe lost two to tango it is traditional way the new m.p.'s won comfortably but when god as a presidential candidate lost in many constituencies sometimes the five to one so

that's a first element on i want to point out and indications by those doing bring apparel counting indicates clearly that mr is way ahead the second thing i want to make the point or to make is that i think we have been naive to expect that. there would be a free fair and credible election under military giunta. one of the reasons for the coup in november was the fear that dunn of p.f. would lose the election twenty eight hundred eighty dollars it was naive to expect that the military would allow. a free fair and free fair and credible election let alone. allow the opposition to win so let me bring the third is that of course it appears to me that we have a situation in which if it is true that the new p.f. as rigged election that they have rigged themselves into a hole. because you have this amazing and incredible result in which there are more

than two thirds majority completely incredible in the face of the reality that we have been watching ourselves at home since november last year and in which clearly in my view there were there should have been a correlation between the massive turnouts for shame he said cross the country in some eighty rallies. on the one hand and the possible outcome in which they should have been a landslide for for the opposition in general and for some reason particular so i mean the contrast between the turnout for four. and that for sure mr. was incredible. evil on the hands and the element and therefore it point it points to the points very clearly to my view manipulated election ok i think the delay makes it a little difficult i didn't want to cut you off but i did want to bring joseph into this and again these are laser these are accusations and allegations from about

whether this was rape we don't know that yet we need to make that clear but joseph i do want to bring up the point that he said that he felt that he feels that it was naive to think that after everything that elections had been in zimbabwe that something would be different this time do do you agree that an action that is a fair point including on there was a vision i made by charlie about seal i come back to it it's not necessarily new that. political party i mean it's not necessarily new that part of the argument we're having is real of all the presidents rather than parliamentary elections and i think i want to as a somebody who's followed them but we unfollowed off going to lectures very closely or we would be doing is that what are basically the evidence that parliamentary elections have been rigged number one number two nobody really complained with a coup if you like of november last year evidence welcomed it including the opposition so same comment upon them to basically present it but for the moment

really i think we shouldn't forget but maybe mr mugabe who was very central to these. who decided to and also mr cheney said whether or not they did it in caution in in concert or not is a different issue maybe it couldn't have been a factor because the robert mugabe the mom decided to box and he said this time if he did so how do we know about maybe it if that did not necessarily impact on the outcome of this and this entire process now in terms of what happened of him last year i'm not necessarily sure whether it was simply because you could say that zanu p.f. stage managed this process not the fact that mugabe is as as only. quite clearly shows that well this was much more bought and then a matter of his internals on a p.f. i dispute nothing to do with election but at the same time yes a number of people both inside and also the opposition is one of the of who generally believe that actually they needed to go beyond got on they needed to be able to have if raising above and if i may say so given the majority of the if you

like white population that we're party to this process bomb life will come in the process then i'm leaving for this election we're coming. ok arnest we're going to actually have the last word on this there has been. criticism from the e.u. . saying from the election observers saying that actually take them back there's been a lot of good things they said that this is a very good process so far but there's still some serious concerns that remain do you think that those types of outside criticisms all make any kind of difference. yeah i will now. yes the e.u. is the c.b.s. convent in fact if you look at the day he will report and to convey the do it today that is the african union and to the south into the african development community report you'll find out that today as similarities in terms of content being as they

to be announced. cutting off the supply that provides a lifeline for gaza israel stops fuel trucks entering the strip sporadic protests in cities across iran and made a dramatic drop in the reality sputtering economy. it's a monster of an amount tech giant apple hits a trillion dollars in market value. and i'm peter simmons in doha with all the sport where the wickets have been tumbling in birmingham as england are fighting back against india on the second day of the first test. welcome to the program zimbabwe's electoral commission says it will announce presidential results in the coming hours after official observers get to move faster to avoid further violence police have sealed off the opposition party headquarters and cleared the streets in the capital harare six people died after

soldiers opened fire on opposition m.d.c. supporters on wednesday tasa has more now from harare. in his first public appearance since monday's general election zimbabwe's main opposition leader nelson chamisa is a padding at a hospital speaking to families of those killed and injured during wednesday's protests he says he's confident he's beaten president investment. over with a popular vote i hear it's going on course but what they have been trying to do all fleet is to draw and play around with their religion from sending them back that's why they have not released the result was they are going big to the cause you understand please we did not come and well we did not do make a good some mission which is a problem because that's no rigging that's no money officials in the rulings on a peer party have asked opposition supporters to remain calm we appeal to our colleagues in the opposition. to ensure that their

supporters maintain become which existed when people went to what. it is our hope is. that. we accept that we belong different political parties but no life should be lost as a result of political differences. the streets of harare are calm but it still feels towards some shops and businesses are closed the police are taking away opposition supporters who had been staying at the party's headquarters they say they want to question each person to see if they have committed any crimes in college experience so far as a police this is maybe harassment was absolutely there was nothing it was not. the day vision people should be focusing on the. of the results now rather than on this . is the one which jamieson has told his supporters to be calm while they wait for final results to be announced the army and police are still patrolling the streets

of harare and guarding important institutions western diplomats election observers and human rights workers say the military used unnecessary force to disperse protesters who had been accusing election officials of the tricking. the police had cordoned off the area outside the opposition party headquarters in harare for a while people weren't allowed to go inside or outside the building that's changed now the doors had been opened but opposition supporters say it should not happened in the first place official results show the rulings on the pier party easily won a majority in parliament international observers the commission to release the presidential results as soon as possible. joins us live now from capitol hill so we know where the opposition leader nelson chamisa stands on this when might we get a final results are announced. well the electoral commission of said they will start announcing presidential election results in about two hours from now that

will happen here that the results sent to these things don't always start on time and also if they are to read the constituency by constituency with maybe a pause or gap between each one could still take many hours so we don't know when we're going to get that final result but we do know that it's already disputed as we heard nelson chamisa saying in harry's story that the election according to them has been rigged they say there's been tampering with the results they're expecting an announcement of the ruling party victory here and they say that that's wrong it's been rigged and that nelson chamisa is the real winner of the electoral commission and the ruling party consistently denied that any rigging practice has been going on and yet the opposition have called the whole thing a sham they are prepared to challenge the results are there fears about further instability. to see how they react to this result with what they say is that they're expecting what they call

a rigged result to come out of here later on so there will be waiting to see if they call their supporters to the street or protest they insist that all of their protests have been peaceful and they say that the violence that erupted yesterday was started by infiltrators sent by the ruling party to join their protesters and start throwing rocks and that's what prompted the army to move into the city but we were waiting to see what the opposition called following following this resulted in the army has been a little appetite as they did on wednesday for any kind of protest or presence on the streets and that might mean more violence in the days ahead but we'll see pending on the reaction to the results expected in the coming hours thanks very much from harare malcolm where with all the latest joining me now is dr winston manno the director of the africa media center at university of westminster thank you very much for coming in to speak to us there was a great deal. hope and anticipation surrounding this fast action in decades without

robert mccarthy what is your assessment of the credibility of this poll. in my view this was a big chance to in the end zimbabwe's democrats and process democracy journey and people have to you know build to brick by brick and it was very optimistic you know as we saw the pre-launch in fiz a lot of observers of the six hundred two observers most of them have given it a thumbs up and people were very optimistic that. we we have a great expression of popular will people will be able to express their. you know interests and politicians were connecting well with people we saw mobilization by both the leading parties but at the moment who are we are this is the processing of these out there for some reason there's. a lot of you know and

political and the now started to make contact lens that they have with the opposition are saying that their tally forms have been intercepted and changed or docked in some way now the election commission and the rulings on it p.f. party completely deny this but i mean what do you expect the opposition to do now in the coming days and weeks i think or to be honest the opposition is top lawyers some of the top you know ligo brains are part of the opposition i think it's unfortunate that we had you know people dying on the streets yesterday because of squabbles between the politicians what they should do is to shore greater leadership and to talk to each other a lot after people died but even before people have died so what the opposition should do they should be humble they should keep their if you didn't and they should challenge this in court. these in public your commission is a new body that was established to solve these kind of problems and now it's much

more transparent. it's a zero thing i was saying that the mechanisms in the process as it exists in the country to resolve this peacefully without it spilling out into violence on the city as we have a new constitution we have you know the different you know even it looks for courts that were set up. this is a lot of impressions people want to because they signed up to when the results would be released or the political contestants were put into a room where by this thick and they were told that this would take up to you know five days or so they should be patient. and they should not incite people but can i just ask briefly that there was an expectation before this election that the zanu p.f. would comfortably win this election but it did the polls since then suggest that it

was a much tighter race than people were expecting. it was a quote this to say that your core in this particular area between a two horse contests between the movement for democratic alliance and the zimbabwe african national union party you know. so we have a real chance of you know seeing the expression of people from different parts of the country there is also a sentiment that is going around that rural voters are you know sort of not very more dead in their eyes to date night and i think this is a very wrong assumption people should be respect for each other you know political interest and they should not. they should just they should allow the politician politicians must surely die should be in my view. to. open lines of communication and to be seen by the supporters to be addressing their concerns. more the goal is

indeed over that you know it's not also acceptable to have live ammunition and calls for restraint of definitely been yes thank you very much. from the us us mr thank you thank you very much we are now at least twenty six people have been killed in saudi led as strikes in yemen port city of data thirty five others were injured when a fishing port and fish market were hit near the hospital for some who see run t.v. channels say the strikes have targeted the gates of the hospital. that they have killed forty two people who see forces in the saudi backed yemeni government are battling for control of the strategic port so if more this weekend crossed him how much does in djibouti mohammed what more do we know about these latest strikes on high data.
