lation of historical rivalries in the country among among ethnic groups is it likely to get worse before it gets better well the violence is likely to continue we're all along these lines a key date that's going to come up as there's been an announcement today that the e.p. r.t.f. the ruling coalition in ethiopia is going to hold a congress in early october and that's going to be a key opportunity for detractors of the prime minister within the ruling coalition to voice their discontent with how he's leading the country how he's handling these problems so the time between now and then is going to be key for how we see the government actually addressing these issues and what's particularly worrying is that the response we've seen so far out of the government has been to condemn the violence as the work of either armed criminals or of individuals who have been hired and paid to disrupt the reform process and disrupt the program of a minute the problem is that this rhetoric is almost identical to what we saw coming out of the previous ethiopian government when it was denouncing the very

protests that brought all that helped bring the power over the past three years so that the rhetoric out of the government is unlikely to be any more effective now than it was them right and so as you say promise abbé ahmed it is ethiopia's first around the leader that was a very significant move for the country and appeared to pacify protests for some time but if he has his enemy in enemies and his detractors could that mean that his position is not sustainable over the next few months. is sustained ability of his position is very much going to come down to how he addresses this violence some of the wider ethnic violence that you've mentioned in ethiopia some of the violence that also takes place along the border region between a romi and the small the region absolutely if this violence continues certainly if it escalates in the capital addis ababa that will be a very powerful political tool for his opponents within the ruling coalition to come after him and try to push him out and there are certainly individuals who would like to do that if they are given the opportunity so definitely this is

something that he needs to address and have a better answer to but some of the rhetoric we've seen immediately coming out of the government john not different thank you very much for sharing your thoughts with us appreciate it sub-saharan africa chess market thank you for having me. now in other stories we're following the u.n. commission on human rights in south sudan is calling on the government to set up a hybrid court combining national and international elements to try potential war criminals south sudan's government signed a peace deal with rebels last week ending nearly five years of civil war and the commission says those who committed crimes during the conflict is now be held accountable and will morgan has more. it's only days since south sudan's were in parties agreed to end a war which has ravaged the world's youngest country but the united nations is keen for the government to take the next big step as soon as possible form a hybrid court to put on trial anyone suspected of committing atrocities during the conflict or three syrian army or the south sudan is

a country at war with the citizens because the attacks continue the violations until new the asked internally displaced persons and refugees continue and course the number of children who were affected by the continued to go on the increase was work began in twenty thirteen when president salva kiir accused his then vice president riek machar of attempting a coup tens of thousands of people have been killed and a third of the country's twelve million population displaced the un has reports of ethnic killings reap and recruitment of child soldiers and has no guarantee those activities won't continue the signed peace deal calls for among other things the formation of a court so those accused of crimes can be held accountable. but south sudan's government which has denied committing any offenses says the immediate priority should be on building peace in the country south sudan is now looking for way out

from the conflict to peace and peace agreement has been signed so the international community should now give time for the government and the other political parties that signed the agreement to make sure they implement the peace agreement in letter and spirit they show. of accountability doesn't come off the accountability should come as part of the implementation of peace agreement but for many people if justice is seemed to be done it will enable them to move on from the horrors of the past and rebuild their lives he morgan al-jazeera. government in zimbabwe has launched a crackdown on illegal food vendors in an effort to control the spread of cholera at least thirty people have so far died of the disease from the capital harare harum a chasseur reports on what many consider a controversial move. the streets of harare a much quieter than usual there has been since the government imposed its ban on

stalls selling street food it says it had to take such measures to stop the spread of cholera vendors try to keep their distance from right police who have orders to remove anyone who refuses to leave but some people say they have no choice but to ignore the ban they say they need to make money you must find a way to care about two things. or just so you know. just. to get zimbabwe has one of the highest unemployment rates in the world. while i love my charges one month old i'm on the street every day so i get money to freedom and by the police are chasing me away how am i supposed to survive. the government recently declared a cholera emergency in the capital some harare residents blame the council for his inability to supply clean water in some suburbs it's been like that for more than a decade. union leaders say the government is blaming dangerous for the outbreak

instead of fixing the real problem dilapidated water and sanitation facilities i understand the issues in their motions being moved to a violent plea confronting us in the streets and we feel that that is not a. process to take it all that good should not be encouraged to be to be done but some city council workers believe removing street vendors is one way to contain the disease right now we are negotiating private property on us for them to be able to consume some of them for them to. fill in places. or structuring some other vending stalls designated selling points made public toilets have been proposed in and around the city this is where the government wants some of the vendors to go it's a market in downtown harare it's still being built but some people say the rentals are too high. a market stall in here can cost a few hundred dollars depending on the size some vendors prefer selling on the

street so they don't pay rent. but selling on the street means dodging right police who have been arresting people and confiscating much advice health workers say the show of force won't stop the spread of cholera if the political will to deal with a crisis once and for all isn't there. the i.c.c. is given the former vice president of the democratic republic of congo a twelve month sentence for witness tampering but will not go back to prison because of time already served the i.c.c. also banned the ship pay a fine of more than three hundred fifty thousand dollars he was acquitted of war crimes on appeal in june but convicted on less a challenge of witness tampering. the russian defense ministry says it has proof that ukraine shot down flight m.h. seventeen in two thousand and fourteen which killed all two hundred ninety eight people on board russia says the missile that brought down the passenger jet was produced in one thousand nine hundred six and sent to ukraine and was not returned to russia in may a dutch that investigation concluded the plane was downed by

a state actor because of course in the mediterranean you have various the presence of u.s. naval vessels the brits the turks and also israeli submarines believed to be placed there israel has been accusing the possibly using its. of targeting let's talk of course on these things are never confirmed israel does confirm however that it does target iranian. backed forces on the ground or weapon shipments or shipments it believes are deemed to the group has bollox so again nothing confirmed but we do know that a technical institute was hit this is according to syrian state news agency the russian media spot nick saying that it was syrian army infrastructure so things not exactly killed what exactly was hit but the video showing large fireballs in the sky multiple missiles used but again it just shows you how complicated syria's war is with all the talk is about the last a rebel held stronghold in libya last stand

of the opposition you still have various state actors with a lot of interests when it comes to syria. it came out after the leaders of russia and turkey agree to set up a demilitarized zone in syria's province to keep government forces and rebel fighters apart russia's defense minister says that means there will be no military assault in the region are present a deal is turks turkish counterpart russia type after lengthy talks in sochi or a challenge has the latest on that now from moscow. bill or for weeks it labor has been bracing itself for the assault that seemed imminent damascus and moscow signaled it was coming for they wanted to clear out syria's final rebel stronghold and after a low bombs that started forming again but following america meeting in sochi it looks like turkey's president has persuaded liberia putin try something different for a while at least the assault is off. during the meeting we took

a close look at the situation and decided to create a demilitarized zone along the contact line of syrian government forces on the armed opposition fifteen to twenty kilometers deep by the fifteenth of october of the current year. it's a success for russia typer the one who has mounted an urgent diplomatic campaign to avert what the united nations said would be a major humanitarian disaster were merged together we will ensure the protection and the prevention of provocation of third parties of violations of the agreement but this is a russia and turkey will carry out coordinate patrols on the borders of both sides of the demilitarized zone that will be designated all heavy weapons will have to be withdrawn from the buffer zone and what putin called radically minded rebels including higher talk real sherm would have to pull out the details are to be agreed with damascus according to russia's defense minister yet again it's been made clear that despite all the talk of syria's territorial integrity its

sovereignty that it's syrians themselves that should be decided. the face of the country ultimately it's outside powers that are calling the shots but those outside powers have their limitations to russia conflict nor turkey and monday's developments show that things russia needs to call it syrian intervention a success the return of refugees reconstruction the political process would be all but impossible without tankers involvements turkey terrified of a new wave of homeless syrians put its foot down moscow listened and did lip gets a reprieve from now rory chalons how does iran moscow. now the u.s. president is expected to announce a new round of tariffs on trade with china donald trump said he would make the announcement after markets closed on monday top white house economic adviser says

the u.s. is ready to negotiate a trade deal with china but only if beijing is prepared for serious talks the president's view is not to destroy the chinese economy we're not trying to put them out of business we're trying to get them to join the international trading nations world and be a citizen and abide by the rules for the first time in some twenty odd years i think the chinese you know may find themselves more isolated if they don't come into the global process and if they don't provide new information and begin to say yes to the asps of presidents. i do jackassery is following developments for us from washington and so we heard anything from the white house on the measures they might impose in this trade war with china. well in the days leading up to trump saying that some time this announcement will come between tonight or

tomorrow evening we knew that the number long consideration has been two hundred billion dollars worth of chinese imports to the u.s. we're expecting the white house to announce that they will be taxed at a tariff of between ten to twenty five percent which would be a dramatic escalation of this trade war between the u.s. and china in fact that two hundred billion dollars accounting for roughly half of all chinese imports to the u.s. china has also indicated that it is likely going to retaliate it did so after the first round of tariffs was announced in july when the u.s. said fifty billion dollars of chinese imports would be under tariffs the chinese responded immediately in kind but now after this new expected two hundred billion dollars of chinese imports is likely to be announced china will find itself in a less powerful position as compared to the u.s. because of the trade deficit it simply doesn't have as much u.s.

imports to tax and so it has said that some sixty billion dollars of u.s. imports to china would be the retaliation here trump has long said that these tariffs are meant to punish china and also to strengthen the united states negotiation power in these trade talks but china has indicated its willingness to walk away from these talks of these threatened tariffs take place american businesses as well as the international monetary fund economists have all said that this trade war really has no winners in the end one indication of that u.s. stock prices were down when it closed earlier today. it would be a serious escalation of the white house but is there any room for negotiations with beijing now. right so we're still waiting to see whether these tariffs would be at twenty five percent which is what trump and the hardliners had initially

advocated when they said they were there with considering this or of the if it's been lowered to that ten percent which would be a dramatic difference there have been some experts saying that a temper sent tariff is what's more likely to be announced and would be more of a statement made against the chinese rather than something that hits the american consumers pocketbook that hard.
