as are refusing to disperse riot police are slowly trying to push them back the aim is to get them out of the city center the police fear that if people are to stay in this area they could be looting and damage to property many zimbabweans blame president government for economic mismanagement soaring inflation rising food prices and growing unemployment they say they want an end to their misery and to be heard every road leading into iraq is good police stops they have thousands and thousands of people that are stopping people come come from all we asked for was just an hour. they're marching along nelson mandela of a somewhat of much of a can of kind of being in a position of opposition to parliament it doesn't last for more than one hour but the critically it has been stopped much of harare city center was unusually quiet on friday shops and businesses were closed many people stayed home fearing violence president says fixing the economy will take time and that zimbabweans need to be

patient but it seems for some patience is running out. and zimbabwe's main opposition leader says that is m.d.c. party backed down from anti-government protests to avoid bloodshed we don't want to . be blood in the street want to walk on. to there is a crisis we're going to resolve the crisis and so the united nations is a government to stop its crackdown on peaceful protesters. state authorities have a duty to ensure people's rights to freedom of expression and to facilitate and protect the right to peaceful assembly in addition we urge the senate when reviewing the maintenance of peace an order bill which is passing through the parliament now really urge them to protect the essential democratic freedoms of

peaceful assembly and demonstration by ensuring the bills compliance with the zimbabwean constitution was about was economy as mired in the worst crisis in a decade the price of almost everything is ballooned inflation last month doubled to 175 percent the cost of a loaf of bread has almost doubled and the top of butter costs now around $17.00 violent protests broke out earlier this year after a sharp price hike in fuel there is a shortage of water and power with widespread blackouts that can last up to 19 hours a day and $5000000.00 people are in need of urgent food aid with half of them on the brink of starvation cheaper than there is an assistant professor of african studies at wellesley college in massachusetts she says the harsh response by the police has emboldened the opposition to continue with protests. i think that the government is going to continue the a strategy of using violence against protesters so what i think what we've seen

this afternoon is an indicator of what we should expect to hear overnight in the past the government has been very good it abducting people and beating up people during the night so i dissipate that we hear reports of that tomorrow but i also think that they've just emboldened the opposition to demand more protests so if they had allowed the opposition to protest today for an hour or 2 hours or whatever the opposition was demanding and you for whatever reason the opposition had had leuer 10 hours i think the opposition might not have been as much of a to continue planning protests around the country so what i've heard is that the opposition is now planning to have a protest on monday in la you and around other cities in zimbabwe so i think the opposition is feeling very strong that they need to continue sending a message to the world that look this is a government that doesn't allow us to protest and when we do go out to protest they respond we you know

a heavy handedness we unjustified violence i think the problem is that both sides have their own interests so they are up a little parties so you know the they have to choose a particular language i think the president has not been gentle when in his head calls i think what he was trying to do is to sort of give the leading opposition. a meaningless position to say we met and so now you should tell your supporters to back down into stop demanding things from us whereas i think the opposition is also asking for a lot what they are asking for is for the president to completely step down so i think they have to meet each other halfway and so now i think the president is definitely in a one a because he is a security forces behaved very badly today i mean some people were really badly injured there's a woman was on the streets you know for a very long time and people are saying she's in critical condition. as of now i think it's up to the president to go to the opposition and say look we can't keep

having people on the streets we have more blood and i had so what can we do to work together and i think the opposition if the. general when and if they're really doing this for the people then i think they should come back with you know demands and say look this is what we think we need for us to work together here with the news on al-jazeera still to come it both spreads to a new province in the democratic republic of congo as the outbreak continues to spiral. pacific island leaders are blasting australia for its stance on climate change. and india's cricket coach is given a new lease of life when have all the details a little later in the sport. the us isn't giving up its chase of the iranian oil tanker held for $43.00 days in jail brought to the department of justice has issued a warrant for the ship's arrest bus the vessel is now preparing to leave gibraltar

by sunday after supreme court judges in the british territory ordered its release a new crew is on board and the supertanker is being given a new name it will now silence of the iranian flag after its registration was switched from panama as andrew simmons isn't just brutal. heading towards this renamed the registered ship $44.00 days after she was seized off the coast of gibraltar for identification systems still saying grace wong destination the mediterranean. as you can see there's nothing on the flagpole now the problem am flag has been removed apparently iranian flag will eventually arrive and down below there's no signage whatsoever to indicate what name this vessel has it is the adrian daria there was grace wong but no sign of it now and the navigation systems all of them indicates that it's still growing swonk so in

terms of maritime law this vessel really has no visible identity i think easy to believe the media has been. if they look at the it then midway through friday afternoon came and i looked there was a transmission from the radio system on the bridge here to the port authority is asking for permission to leave that was granted but the anchor which was being in the process of being lifted suddenly went the other way and then came this radio transmission leading up to. the us sunday evening we should do but leave nothing. while this supertankers time still political messaging has been moving at a pace the iranian foreign ministry saying that it could sell its oil to anybody anywhere in syria needed boil and energy it wasn't going to syria in the 1st place

you know so but there was a response from the gibraltar government saying that look at the facts that have been evidence it was going to syria not to be put to the cole was a written assurances by iran that it would not go there. what about the movements here at sea local media is reporting that 6 new crew members they may be offices that are said to include a new skipper are on their way to gibraltar and are likely to arrive on sunday which could fit the impression given by the radio exchanges between the port of the ship must be said the u.s. appears to be continuing its appeal to seize the tanker let's go live now to washington officer is john hendren has the latest for us john. this is a complicated story about an alleged effort by iran to move from iran to syria

and as andrew simmons ably reported there the british government in your brawl to release that ship after concluding it would no longer go to syria the iranian government is said it never intended to go there but it could if it wanted well now the u.s. government on friday filed this this is filed in the u.s. district court in washington d.c. and it's a complaint saying that iran has violated u.s. sanctions as you may recall that 2015 nuclear agreement with many countries involved which the u.s. abandoned in 2018 after the u.s. pulled out of that the u.s. reinstituted old sanctions but dating way back to the 1977 added some new and so now the u.s. government is saying that what iran did in transferring this oil violates bank fraud laws money laundering laws and aid to terrorism laws all of those are under a u.s. law called the international emergency economic powers act of 1977 that the u.s.

alleges in this claim better run try to use shell companies it tried to use the u.s. financial system all to transfer that oil and then a confidential informant says indeed that oil was destined for syria that iran disabled transponders on that ship those are transponders that ships use in international waters to tell each other where they are and ships of that size are required under in all international law to use those so according to the u.s. iran has said that that ship loaded up oil in basra iraq when in fact that was a falsified paper that in fact it loaded up oil in iran and that it was destined for syria so all of those things combined are being alleged in this u.s. allegation that iran violated laws. laws that try to restrict what iran can do in profiting from its oil industry and in aiding the islamic revolutionary guard corps

that was aiding syria in this case of the us wants to seize that ship and it wants to forfeit both the ship and the $1000000000.00 worth of oil on it john many thanks indeed i was there was john hendren there live in washington thousands of women of march through the streets of mexico city demanding justice for 2 teenagers who they say were raped by police officers. on occasions of lead to outrage over the high rate of violence against women in mexico the 1st case involves a 17 year old who says she was raped by a group of policeman days later another teenager accused a police officer of raping her in a museum 6 office of have been suspended as possible the investigation the retrial of woman from el salvador who gave birth to a stillborn baby and was then charged with his murder has entered its 2nd day the case of evelyn hernandez to an international attention she was raped and delivered a stillborn baby in

so how do you really lay out for the hong kong businesses something that is not detrimental to your business as we've seen over the last 11 weeks has been this past week has been even more global attention and more pressure behind it so there is an effect that's already been going special the mom and pop businesses locally and the multinationals where they have to address this every day with their employees and how how to really react to this and to the consumers properly so they can ensue their products and services being still delivered on a on a on a high level basis. so you can always see this varies between from company to company but how how difficult is it for them or how do they make a decision like this is it purely based on. consumers and profit saw is it more about reputation. i actually i think the profits the last part of this because i think your mission and your goal pending on with a company is as you mentioned if it's a u.s. multinational u.k.

multinational they will handle this differently you saw what happened with cas a cathay pacific c.e.o. stepping down which not something that without the protests that would actually happen you know you really have to think about your employees your consumers and understand what they want right i mean i don't think there's going to be a clear answer on either side but how do you really create a or rules and guidelines where people can force or pinion but still be in a way that doesn't affect the business i mean like i said the rules of engagement of business is now have changed in the in the climate that we've been living with you do have to address some of these concerns at the same time not trying to be too extreme to away from your values a series of rallies are planned across hong kong for saturday including one in support of the government on friday night thousands of students gathered in the central city park calling for the u.s. and britain to help with the fight for why the democracy teaches of organize the rally on saturday and one of the main processed groups plans i'm on last march on sunday al-jazeera is. in hong kong. to comb kong is gearing up for
