you know the united nations to come in and intervene they have been. on the first of august when opposition supporters were angry with the delay of the presidential results and went on the streets the violence that erupted often with its own people six people was struck and killed by soldiers so i'm well aware of our going back on the streets they've also said they haven't quite ruled out the possibility of a power sharing deal with the rulings on a party that of course has to be discussed in the national council meeting the plan to have an wayne say. they have no plans to. position according to them they say they won this election and it was three and three. and dependent africa policy analyst and former executive director for africa action he says this experience was good for democracy. election also involved legislative elections and zanu p.f. mr eminent god was spotty one hundred some in the parliamentary elections and m.d.c. did not object so for me that was

a telling sign and the other telling sign was that there was so many observers election observers from both africa and europe and the united states and why this is said that things did not go perfectly they did not identify any massive reagan and then of course there is the fact that all nine of the jaggies this was a unanimous decision not even one guy dissented so for me has the ring of truth generally i don't like to get around lies or cross africa fifty four countries countries with very different histories but one of the common features is that every time there is an election somebody will always say i was rolled it was rigged and while that is said what you have to do is you know peaceful protest an option by the it can be generate into violence so the best thing is to take it to court let experience jaggies trusted know the country go through the

evidence in all of this turmoil that we won on our lloyd good thing is that they jaggies look at the evidence and said we don't see anything here that says that it was stolen and so yes this was this was good for zimbabwe otherwise i'm actually pessimistic about zimbabwe's immediate future even under this president who has won . much more ahead in the news hour including and they want to put that trying to tell you what a scientist has to say about a new. glass of alcohol by now activists are helping to mark the honor but it deaths of those who tried to make it to the united states and for formula one is back out for the summer pay. to look ahead rather.

ecuador has opened a humanitarian corridor for venezuelans on the move the announcement comes as the u.n. compares the mass exodus of migrants from venezuela to the refugee crisis in the mediterranean growing numbers are falling economic meltdown and political turmoil in venezuela threatening to overwhelm neighboring countries despite that announcement it's still not clear how many of those finance wayland's who are stranded will be able to cross into ecuador. and he spoke to some of them. on a bitterly cold morning migrants are trying to catch a ride and border they've been traveling for two weeks on foot or in the back of trucks hoping to reach their final destination before new immigration restrictions take effect on saturday i bet a former law student says the restrictions should be lifted but going to help them also may make it on a regular immigrants who were displaced by the dictatorship that has kidnapped our country kids are dying of hunger the elderly for lack of medicine and the young who

should be the main engine of the country leaving penniless. yet south american countries are making it harder for them to enter in stay in their countries in the early august their first declared a state of emergency when twenty thousand migrants arrived to its border in four days then began requiring a passport to let their mean this is left me stranded. i mean those i made it to the border with her husband and five year old daughter but unlike bears her passport is about to expire. they told me i can't process it knocked me down how can my husband and daughter leave without me what am i to do i tried to renew my passport for two years before we left it was impossible. at the ecuador on but this man office says she filed a challenge to ecuador's decision and is. demanding protective measures for these people based on our constitution and humanitarian law crime months and we hope the

judge will and the state solution. for those stuck here there is some help here says provide free shots for children in need to fix scenes there are tents to spend the night in even a day care. that's most migrants are deciding to continue their journey. arrivals at this former crossing have gone down from forty five hundred to less than five hundred and while some might be remaining in the great majority or taking the risk of crossing illegally while hundreds are now walking to ecuador others get stopped trying to see. if there's no other way we'll have to pass illegally we can't stay here and we can't go back there's no life left in venezuela nine with no end in sight to the economic crisis back who will continue to migrate well the countries in the region will need better solutions to cope with this every

worsening crisis. now tell center around theory is on the border crossing between colombia and ecuador so this change loosening up if you will. that could or saying that people can go through their country will how much of a difference will that make. well we shall we need to understand that this is just a temporary measure restrictions that were put in place remain in place and late tonight i mean saturday new restrictions will begin so what we can expect what we've been seeing here is an ease up here on the border this border crossing and we'll probably see a huge amount of people arriving at the border between back weather and for more on this we are joined by. the norwegian refugee council thank you very much for

being with us so let's start with the restrictions that are. put in place other countries are also making it more difficult for venezuelans to cross in their country what are your biggest worries with these restrictions well sure. will not stop people from crossing borders actually people would cross but with a highly raised for example such because human truck takes the trash they camped. out for sexual violence based on gender especially for women and children and also exploitation of her brother race and so on so this i understand worries you very much there's going to be an increase in illegal immigration this will not stop this exodus do you think this humanitarian corridor don't these buses that by the refusing to move the people will do any good well i think that these mishra will to really bottlenecks in the next borger and this situation could be worse done than

another so what we're seeing is that the problem just moves from one place to another from from from one country to another do you think that one of the issues here is that every country seems to be deciding for itself there we haven't seen a lot of regional coordination you think that's fundamental to try and address in a better way this crisis well actually it is this is not on ecuadorian we shall and or berlin situation this is a regional to play front and there its needs to the needs of the original clucks run and our regional plans call. for contraception and she had to coordinate actions to get a better response to parties humanitarian crisis given the following the best risk the crisis very closely now for four months if not years what do you think these

people need the most at this point well. i think the people need information i jane need to know they need they need to know what's worth what every country needs to require her to answer each and also our son instead. aren't we are providing a legal leg to stand and counsel about it thank you very much for being with us now we shall this is the situation here back to border between colombe and whether. we have seen a reduction in the number of people that are severe but more barra arriving and we can expect now that through the center of the crisis will be the border between ecuador and through in the coming hours and especially after midnight when the restrictions take effect their real andro on the i thank you very much at least one hundred eighty nine people have been injured on gaza's border with israel the protests have been going on for months of the great march of return israeli

government accused some of the demonstrators of being what they call terrorists wanting to cross into its territory and carry out attacks trial strafford as more from the gaza israel border. this is the twenty second week in a row that we've seen these protests on friday along the gaza israel we've seen a lot of gas fired in the last couple of hours what sounds like live ammunition as well i think it's fair to say though that there are less people here this week than we have seen in recent weeks hamas says that the protesters have every right to continue these demonstrations and will continue them. until israel is near twelve year land and sea blockade is lifted now so many people here we've been speaking to this speculation that one of the reasons why the protests the protests have been less this week is because we are expecting a resumption of these talks being mediated by the egyptians in cairo between hamas the armed factions and israel israel denies that there is any direct conversation

going on between them and how mass but we do know that the egyptians have been very keen i've been working very hard to get both parties to. agree to some sort of last thing ceasefire we also understand that fatah will be sending a delegation from ramallah to participate in those talks as well there are concerns that anything that is seen by either side as being a provocation could initiate another escalation in violence between hamas and israel and of course that would seriously jeopardize those talks in cairo australia has a new prime minister after the ruling liberal party replaced its leader scott morrison defeated malcolm turnbull an internal party vote it's the fourth time since two thousand and ten that a prime minister has been voted out of the job by his or her own party kathy novak reports in sydney i think john morris in this with australia is introduced to another new prime minister to power not in

saying this time he had the support to win and turnbull didn't run as a candidate how the insurgents were not rewarded by electing mr dotson for example but instead the my successor who i wish the very best of course scott morrison a very loyal and effective treasurer schools like that in mars and was once immigration minister in charge of controversial asylum policies he had backed turbo to remain prime minister before friday's vote has been a lot of talk this week. about whose side people are on in this building. and what just annoyed me to tell you. as the new generation of liberal leadership is where on your side australians are generally unhappy with what they see as a revolving door system of leadership scott morrison now faces the difficult task of uniting his party before facing the australian public in
