zimbabwe it has been a rocky road to say the least for. still hasn't officially taken office after winning zimbabwe's presidential election last month but he has finally made a public appearance and given a rousing speech to mark here this is one of the most important celebrations and zimbabweans who were killed in the war of independence just a reminder of the stand politically seventy five year old girl from the zanu p.f. party is the incumbent he took power in november of twenty seventeen when robert mugabe finally stepped aside however his rival nelson chamisa has challenged the recent election and we are awaiting a court decision as to where the money can actually be inaugurated or not without a report now from. president elect a muslim and i got asked political leaders to remain calm it's his first public appearance since his inauguration was postponed after the main opposition alliance filed court papers on friday preventing it from going ahead zimbabwe is even more
12:06 am
divided since last month's disputed election and post election violence we are of course. these are liars has heard violence post of me there for our lets you see result. in that there is also you know us and citizens maybe our souls where we did all these armies during a commission of inquiry and i guess the first great murder. it is not. the lives. of. heroes day is one of his most important national holidays is to remember those who fought in the civil war to end white minority rule in one nine hundred eighty some of those veterans are still in the government and opposition supporters blame the ruling party for the violence the main opposition to the japanese that released the speech
12:07 am
they say there is nothing to celebrate. he says his support is i think systematically targeted by the ruling party he won last month's election. earlier this month six people were shot and killed when the army dispersed opposition supporters protesting against election results the international community has called for the military to use restraint zimbabwe isn't limbaugh all people can do is wait the swearing in ceremony will only happen after constitutional judges give the ruling. because it is a provision that the kennedys feels that election is not and which the courts the only other implications of the decision. is final so politically it was an interesting election. judges could declare the winner and he sworn into office within forty eight hours or they could order a recount or
12:08 am
a fresh election within sixty days if political leaders refused to accept the court's decision that could create more political and economic instability. and assuming the election results stands what next opposition the m.d.c. cheaper than there from i am has to college in the us has written this opinion piece for odyssey or dot com where she says the opposition brand really needs to work in both rural and urban areas for it to be successful ever read for yourself what is next for zimbabwe's opposition in the opinion section online. it is a move likely to anger conservatives into newsier president vegi qaeda subsea has announced he wants to give women the same inheritance rights as men vats along with other progressive proposals things like legalizing homosexuality have been provoking protests in recent weeks by those who believe the government is turning its back on islam the ideas are coming from an equality commission which he said she put together about a year ago. at the moment males in
12:09 am
a family would receive double the inheritance females of women engineers who do have more rights than others in the region but things are still will short of total equality of these some of the recent moves july last year there was a new law to eliminate all forms of violence against women including criminal charges against perpetrators of domestic violence and sexual harassment in public few months later a law banning women from marrying no muslims was overturned and then last month history was made with sword of the him becoming the first female mayor of the capital tunis here is revealing to take it's just it's a it's a clash of cultures and ideas isn't it and then and as a split on the ground people also having very much split personalities and also i guess opinions online as well many are using the hash tags in is the enclave bay which stands for commission for the individual freedom and equality and leading the charge against the changes a group called the national coordination committee for the defense of the qur'an
12:10 am
they fear the proposals go against islam's holy teachings and will spit society between those who follow the qur'an and those who follow secular laws and they've run it's a poll to with an official website where details of their plan protests are regularly updated and there's also a petition that's gathering signatures and that will be presented to parliament on the other side there are those who support these changes the human rights group equality now is also sharing this video and their key message is that equality is a right and not just a privilege. then you also have a range of other facebook events taking place as well this one is that it catered to more rallies expected to happen later on a monday calling for more equality and freedoms we all spoke to people in tennessee and this is what they told us. i support the clip a reporter hunted heritance law the reason why a man is supposed to inherit double a woman's inheritance was basically because he's supposed to work and support the family financially this is no longer the case
12:11 am
in tunisia women work in finance their families so there's no reason why i mentioned continue to inherit small this role comes in the framework of many other laws and to endorse equality between men and women and not just inheritance this is a base for quality between men and women in tunisia. and. the truth is that the issue of inheritance law in tunisia is something i do not agree with because the qur'an is very clear about it and there is no way in which it should be altered when it comes to looking into laws that affect women's rights in general this is something i support especially when it comes to equal pay and looking into retirement age parity in the fields of education and medicine. as a gymnasium woman i'm against inheritance law after all we're still a muslim country and we shouldn't violate islamic law in a muslim country i believe that this issue is not a priority at this moment we have plenty of other problems that need to be resolved
12:12 am
before thinking about inheritance and all these others to professional problems look for the girls working as maids look for the girls that don't go to school those problems are more important i want to repeat tunisia is a muslim country and what is happening is not ok well keep your opinions coming through even if you are in business or anywhere else use the hash tag it in his words thank you were here with us on skype from our man. who is a consultant covering the middle east north africa region for equality now which was the program for morgan ization which. so it's nice to have you with us it just seems obvious i think to most of us and i'm sure to you as well that there should be this level of equality however there is opposition and i'm interested to know how strong is the opposition water you're up against you and your group up against here. well i think you know i mean talking about the inheritance rights in tunisia of course you will have but. who will be opposed the it will inherit constraints
12:13 am
but i think media has really. went and it is going through thirty foot steps in terms of equality between men and women and the constitution itself has has really endorsed equality between men and women and i think it's now that time is there for the women to exercise their equality rights in tunisia including for inhabitants women. working out how they are working and they are the bread winners of that family so they have to really have that i have. equal it had its rights in that no so we are very well coming that step of president george of course when it had it in silence and actually what it that has been campaigning for years for this issue to be prevailing in tunisia and we had
12:14 am
a country of women in that region we are looking very much forward to each an experience in terms of equal in her rights because it will be a very good example for other women that each and to campaign and demand for equality in how to start what else do you want to push for what next i mentioned already that there were laws against violence against women there was the law that banned women from marrying last non muslims that was changed as well what else is on your agenda. yeah i think air now with the engine above the inheritance rights because there are there will be a but it does not end is there but especially that you have so many people who are opposing it but i think when there is a political well i think things will be getting better and we are looking forward to actually people to have the proposed bill in the parliament so as to be in a lot of with what local partners in tunisia sort of put in had it and. of course i
12:15 am
mean tunisia they they have done a very good step in terms of their domestic violence and their. exemptions don't punish meant for it it was too many of their victims and they endorsed good laws but still full equality is not there so i don't think. so and i've had a question from one of our viewers on facebook what father who was asked what about religion how will that affect the law if it's passed wouldn't these things contradict each other is that a problem in a place like tunisia where the law and religion can butt heads like that and perhaps create more problems. well i think of course they sure religion is quite a big issue but i think tunisia they are a secular. country and. which should be implied. if showing that equality between men and women if that was the junction which is
12:16 am
the highest law in tunisia is that it well it it should be between men and women then or lawsuits well so and that's why you know it because you don't have any contradiction between that was the jewish and existing laws as any how did the knolls still they are contradicting to the constitution and actually to their international. mentions and to get but this that the e.u. has signed and indorsed by the international community so they have a duty to talk all discriminatory laws against women and worse than i thought i they have really to wear on. full equality and have it just right so i would say it's been a pleasure talking to you thank you for your time today. to news of course considered the success story of the arab spring we have

12:20 am
intimate look at life in cuba today those of us young want to. watch the live coverage of my cube on al-jazeera.
12:21 am
the headlines of the album called man what's trending oh some more and what's going on in turkey is that the central bank stepping in and saying to the commercial banks well we will help you out as this currency crisis lurches forward also more from afghanistan the danger of conflating and he zionism with anti semitism has been a lot of talk about some of this in the u.k. recently but this looking more at what's happening in the middle east and beyond so the iranian deal will trump talk to the city do without preconditions but you never know what will happen with donald trump to you that is what's trending this monday at the top. one story that hasn't been trending lately but it's still significant is the earthquake that destroyed parts of the indonesian island of book confirmed deaths now up at four hundred thirty six that number going up all the time as crews
12:22 am
get into more remote corners and so the damage bill going up that is heading towards three hundred fifty million dollars morgan brings us up to date now rescued alive from the rubble this boy is one of the lucky ones he's at least being treated for his injuries but his mother says even that was a struggle because the earthquake destroyed thousands of buildings including hospitals and medical centers at mabille and that was the hat i didn't know if my son had fractures or not and there was no facility and i was told to stay away from home remedies that's why i came to the military hospital where there are volunteers that. have been up. more than a week after the six point nine quake struck the search for survivors is drawing to a close more than four hundred thirty bodies have been recovered but many more remain missing treating the injured has also been a major challenge as many parts of the island are almost impossible to access now.
12:23 am
volunteers have been doing their best to find out and it's a route through the destruction. of the other hundred patients but fractures come to us because we have five operation rooms and our doctors of volunteers who join the military we have five operations day here but that's not enough for the thousands of people affected there still discovering people who haven't been reached for the system and at the same time they're delivering very basic emergency assistance food water medical care shelter the damage hasn't been assist so there's a lot of uncertainty about the future thousands of people remain displaced and afraid to go home because of the fear of more earthquakes and aftershocks. they've already lost family friends in many cases their homes and most of their belongings they don't know how much more they can lose he will morgan are just there. still will feel in this newsgroup of course we're going to be talking about. the latest dramas of the white house first though some international headlines with maryam

12:29 am
allegations against trump including that he is racist but what has security experts and trying to clearly alarmed though is that she secretly recorded her firing by white house chief of staff john kelly and then ultra high security is the situation room and part of it was on n.b.c.'s meet the press program the. if i didn't have this recording listen up people would still think that i was trying to set off alarms so yes i had to protect myself and i have no regret about it let's listen to the record if you couldn't understand that if we make this a friendly departure. we can all be you know you can look at look at your time here in the white house is a year of service to the nation. and you can go on without any type of difficulty in the future go to your reputation. i did you take that comment about your reputation it's very obvious threat he says he goes on to say that things can get ugly for you the chief of staff of the united states under the direction of the
12:30 am
present united states threatening me on damage to my reputation and things getting ugly for me that's downright criminal. and there's a flurry of tweets about this the situation room as many point out is the most secure place in the white house no one authorized devices are actually allowed in under strict internal procedures the whole point of the situation room is that it's completely sealed off from the world and unwanted eyes and also is some suggest also should be prosecuted for breaking national security protocols and federal laws all omarosa for her part says that she did this to protect herself but in doing so and publicizing this recording she now has two allies in a tweet her former boss calls her wacky adding that when general kelly came on board he told me she was a loser and nothing but problems but i told him to try to work it out if possible because she only had great things to say about me until she got fired well some
12:31 am
have also some also hitting back and they have been included in her book apparently april ryan is from the washington bureau chief from the american urban radio networks she slams newman saying don't reference me or use my name you have done enough your lies and crazy behavior catching up to you can you say national security breach and then frank luntz who is a political consultant says that omarosa is writing him a flat out false adding she didn't even make an effort to call or email him to verify but then you have the u.s. political strategist this is donna brazil. in that tweet up for yes. she has a different perspective putting all of this down to donald trump attacking black people and she says that he spent the whole week going after le bron james to don lemon to maxine waters and i felt place and now it's america she then adds a can you west is the exception what is his secret well let us know what you think
12:32 am
of the story on any of these platforms is the hash tag a genius get. thank you for that. many of those who lived through. this next story they say it was the day the mountain fell and that in that a year ago it was that walls of mud and rocks buried everything in their path on the outskirts of sierra leone's capital killing well over a thousand people but hundreds more are still missing as a religious reports now from freetown. seventeen year old might to cut is returning to where her family who used to be for the first time since last year's disaster. that means of our father mother four sisters two brothers and a brother in law are still trapped under this must have rock. like hundreds of other victims rescue workers one able to retrieve their bodies. i cry anytime i remember them live let's file when they were around right now i
12:33 am
must work for someone who pays me not with money but with food to eat. when i'll just the rest poked a matter last august in hospital she was looking for an aunt she hoped was still alive she didn't find that. after three days of torrential rains part of sugarloaf mountain broke away and crashed onto a once vibrant community burying homes and people most could not be saved due to lack of equipment manpower and bad weather so my boss of the two thousand and seventeen tragedy still come here to get close to relatives they didn't get the chance to say proper goodbye to hundreds believed to be buried under the rubble the government plans to build a monument of salt here for the missing and the dead more than five hundred victims of the disaster were buried here there gravestones bear no names some contain just
12:34 am
body parts. i think kilometers from the cemetery i fifty two unit housing estate was built by three local construction companies. the houses what they need to do the government for the survivors but it can only accommodate one hundred fifty of them. ready style to eleven thousand people and this eleven thousand people not everybody in here masted outs sting then for weed that's still here we found things difficult this of us have now been asked to pay monthly rent on the houses sugarloaf mountain remains very unstable a few weeks ago huge boulders of rock came tumbling down causing panic among villagers the government has demolished more homes that are considered unsafe on the first anniversary of the disaster survivors including mcarthur still without
12:35 am
a home are looking to the government for help and hope that they can get a new start in life how many degrees. freetown just before we hit the break couple of comments are lots of you and i'm pleased to see this lots of saying thank you for reminding you about what's happened in indonesia what is still happening in indonesia after the earthquake there and a lot of your actual sister prize that the death toll of four hundred thirty six because they assumed it was a small island they did a quick google there small island yeah but three point one million and that was in two thousand and ten actually i think it's more up sort of three point four three point five million so that's how you got a lot of people who did die in that earthquake also one other comment here from dylan who is asked about omarosa why did john kelly take it to the situation room if it's off limits. i think it's not that the situation room is off limits is that it is off limits and they have to take devices. can go in there to take something and record. that sounds right so let's go with it.
12:36 am
12:37 am
12:38 am
and if you talk sport because someone didn't win exactly what you think he did tiger would see fell just short of winning his first major title in a decade it was in fact a fellow american brooks kept to who took the trophy at the page a championship with tiger a couple of shots behind in second but the fourteen time major winner was still the player energizing the crowds in missouri and that worldwide poll race reports. no one and golf can get a crowd going like tiger woods. on the hunt for his fifteenth major title but without having won any in the past ten years woods is back problems led to spinal fusion surgery that almost ended his career now all that most people here
12:39 am
wanted to see was golf's greatest draw complete the most improbable of comebacks. and win his first p.g.a. championship title since two thousand and seven. unfortunately for woods in his weight was brooks kept the overnight lead it was relentless on sunday posting a round of sixty six. to win by two shots despite woods's best finish in a major finale a decade other than me. my team. everybody was rooting for tiger i mean as a shirt. you know he's probably be easy greatest player to ever play the game and. to have the comeback that he's having it is incredible being a part of that as a fan is cool and even when you're playing it it's still pretty mean and trying to push you to step up your game i mean you have to because you know he's right there if you fall. woods had already come off the eighteenth green to
12:40 am
a champion's reception before kept his sealed victory was his will to win nearly but not quite seeing him over the greatest hurdle of his career at the beginning the year if you said yeah i would have a chance legit chance one wants to major championships. was what swing. i do have a swing at the time i'm in charge of uncharted territory because there's no one's ever had a few spine hitting it like i'm hitting a sub had of trying to figure this out on my own and it's been really really hard fought hard and people think. i've kept come a king his own game look easy the third major in just over a year putting him at the top of the sport paul reece al-jazeera. well let's talk now that clint herm he's a direct brand finance a leading independent business valuation and strategy consultancy declan thanks for coming on well once of course hasn't won a major title now for ten years so tell us why and how we remain suggest such
12:41 am
a valuable brand. and he thanks very much for having me. at brown finance read deal with brown's across a range of sectors sport commercial brands and the ultimate purpose of a brand is to generate revenue and profits and tiger woods is no different really when he plays golf not only the golf world watches the world as a whole. i saw that see c.b.s. released figures saying that the t.v. ratings were where sixty dollars online when tiger was last playing good golf the moss has had the best t.v. ratings since two thousand and fourteen and tiger woods was last playing there he really is a commercial entity all in terms of and does he make money not just for himself but for the whole of golf when he's playing this well. definitely you hear this expression called the tiger effect when he plays ticket prices go up television
12:42 am
ratings go up sponsorship deals go up many attribute the huge pots in golf and modern golf all down to tiger woods pole and his attractiveness to to corporate sponsors is locked in effect for a whole golfing community and the gulf and kwame as a whole is is. a massive massive what is it about tiger the generates this is it is it the comeback tale is it the history what is it about simply the generates this level of interest there. you know i think he is almost a person that transcends the sport of golf as a whole you can compare him to say a roger federer in tennis or a michael jordan in boston all his sponsors dream aside from his own personal struggles in the background i also think it's to do with the manner in which he plays golf he plays with a lot of emotion a lot of passion which he generally never used to see in golf. he had shots that. are unbelievable that you can only imagine that other professionals don't even
12:43 am
think of playing at the time in the report. what brooks kept he speaks of tiger woods and he's just beaten him in a tournament. yeah we're just mentioning brooks kept together it looks as though he's going to be one of one of the great players of the modern era willie or anyone like him be able to generate the same sort of x. factor that woods has what do they have to do to try to become the same sort of marketable player that tiger woods is. look i think it's extremely difficult to do tiger woods at his prime was so dominant in the gulf. when it fourteen majors he won seven of eleven between ninety nine yards and two thousand and three and i think in the last eighteen majors we've had ten winners that have never previously won a major you know having said that the lots of books rory mcilroy and jordan speed they're all young up and coming exciting players winning majors has won three in
12:44 am
