7:15 am
shanghai exchange let's go back to our live event a supposed person in the n.b.c. speaking in harare zimbabwe is capital about those election results. is those that are close to the best results. because you share the results if you can and i know what i don't know any because since it is those that have been announced if you look not verified we held a meeting today with or anyway i was there was there was a case. that was. lost there is what you're hearing. there are very. good hunters out of those you know. that i wouldn't. know that i love you very much even though you knew it was you know this was the you know you were the reason i was along with the release of the details of
7:16 am
it it really was it was everybody very good looking ready to do their thing the reason i didn't know it was. ok we're going to bring in our guest lance guma and i'm trying to figure out what we just saw there lance who was that speaking at some up for us oh i think he was saying justin morgan is the national chairman of the opposition m.d.c. . i think you just heard him say exactly what i was saying is it is also being announced at provincial level and people are seeing no why are you not on. i don't think your positions are level it's it's much more understandable for people who are known to the m.p. as one councillors one in a particular constituency it's much easier for people to digest results if they're given in that in that format so this provincial this provincial results are a bit suspect in that it's quite easy i'm not saying this is what has been done but
7:17 am
it's quite easy to mosque or is it a good figures if you just given them as a bunch in terms of provincial it in terms of people being suspicious of the process this is not helping is it no it's not just what i say to the top of the hour that these are harmonized elections that is the odds must be harmonized and this is what you get when you don't have one eyes that is arts they are justified to be not happy about that because this is a very complicated way of announcing results we heard people shouting there in the crowd tonight tonight we want to know tonight what does this then do to the atmosphere given what happened yesterday with the violence. it's difficult to predict what's going to happen but i think this was the intended. this was the desire of the security forces to intimidate people i think they were given explicit instructions to use live ammunition and to kill people on the day i need to draw
7:18 am
your attention to one of the pictures that has been circulated widely or is actually a video of a soldier firing into the crowd and here's a mosque or in i've been asking this question why would you deploy soldiers while wearing masks and that to me suggests the explicit instructions to shoot into the crowd and actually kill people instructions from who. that's a difficult one again the president has put so much effort as i've sayed into preaching peace and things about was open for business so it before there was the mind why on earth he would order the deployment of soldiers and you know have six people gunned down. i think we can at one time back to the pictures here that we're in this just in called to order i'm not exactly sure we're going to hear but let's listen again to see if we get any more on those election results there live in harare. thank you very much can i ask
